Full-time.

#PacificFC 1 - 0 #VancouverFC

With how they play, it looks like any match against Vancouver is going to be a single goal match until their defense is solved. They have a very solid wall, but not a whole heck of a lot of attacking capability.

Pacific pulled themselves together and started to perform more as expected, but there were still a fair number of sloppy moments.

It's going to be an interesting season!

Half-time.

#PacificFC 0 - 0 #VancouverFC

While Pacific are clearly a better side, Vancouver has demonstrated that they are definitely a worthy #CanPL squad. They've had a couple of chances and have frustrated Pacific consistently.

Pacific is underperforming, which is a little unexpected.

I was originally rating Pacific in top-3, but they're down to 4th or 5th following the 1st half performance. Hopefully, they will pull themselves together in the 2nd half.

Third #CanPL match of the day:

#PacificFC vs #VancouverFC.

It will be very interesting to see how the new team fares against the island. I'm definitely looking forward to this match.

My #VancouverFC scarf arrived yesterday afternoon. It's a good weight, if a little plain in its design.

Definitely feels like a placeholder scarf while the team figures out its identity ahead of the season.

Shipping was quick, and I was able to track it the whole way across the country.

Update:

My #AtleticoOttawa scarf arrived earlier today. It's a very heavy and comfortable scarf. I'm looking forward to wearing it come April.

The #VancouverFC scarf made its way to Richmond, BC, and appears to be in transit. They're predicting it'll arrive on the 7th, but I won't be surprised to see it arrive Friday.

Finally, thanks to @ophiolite, I will have an #FCEdmonton scarf to put opposite my #OttawaFuryFC scarf so they can battle it out in perpetuity.

Finally, I had the chance (and permission) to put up the soccer wall. My spouse wouldn't let me put up scarves, but my stadium prints were greenlighted.

Sadly, it looks like I need to update 3 of them.

York9 has since been renamed #YorkUnitedFC, #PacificFC's stadium is now called Starlight, and #VancouverFC has replaced #FCEdmonton (poster hidden with coming soon logo).

If I ask really nicely, I just might be able to get the #CanPL scarf up above the prints, which would tie it all together.

Update: The folks at #FCEdmonton returned my email today, and they're issuing a refund. The store should not have been open online, and they have no merch to sell.

If anyone has a spare FCE scarf they're willing to part with, send me a message, please.

As for #AtleticoOttawa, they dropped off the package in Kanata for shipping earlier today, a full 7 business days after they made the shipping label. No reply to my email.

I ordered one from #VancouverFC yesterday. The race is on...

#CanPL

I pulled the trigger and ended up ordering two different #YorkUnited and #FCEdmonton scraves, as well as #AtleticoOttawa . I'll have to wait for the #VancouverFC shop to go online before I order one of theirs.

I think I have scarves from every #CanPL side and/or one of their supporters group(s) at this point.

I looked into finally grabbing one from #ThunderBayChill of #USL2, but they're charging $50 before tax & shipping. That's pretty far out of line with the going rate.
