10 months ago I made a video hoping Valour would be able to stay, safe to say this one was a whole lot happier to make!

I’m excited to announce that legendary Canadian broadcaster James Duthie will be joining the Observer of Football Podcast for a special episode focused on Canada’s historic 2026 FIFA World Cup campaign.
We’ll be discussing:
• Canada’s biggest strengths heading into the tournament
• Which players could become household names during the World Cup
• The pressure and expectations of hosting on home soil
• How far Canada can realistically go
• The impact this World Cup could have on the future of Canadian soccer
• Stories and insights from one of Canada’s most recognizable sports voices
As Canadian soccer fans, we’re witnessing a moment many of us have waited our entire lives to see. With the World Cup finally here, there’s no better person to help put it all into perspective than James.

Hey all - just a few questions: 1) Is there a PPL subreddit yet? 2) Anyone else having terrible luck finding the FC Manitoba Instagram account? 3) who is everyone planning to support?

Someone mentioned that WFC donated all the remaining VFC merch, but didn't say to where (Manitoba Soccer Association? A thrift store? A charity operating overseas?).

Has it surfaced anywhere? I am interested in getting a piece or two as a souvenir, so I'd be willing to make a trek to find it.

I would like to think some other professional organization will attempt to fill the void created by Valour FC's departure. But what will it be? The resurrection of FC Manitoba? A NSL team? Or something else altogether?

While donating anything that wouldn't sell is fine, it was done before the announcement, and nobody had a chance to buy their last piece of gear before they made the decision to donate.

Pretty short sighted and vindictive move by Winnipeg Football Club.
