On this weeks episode, we discuss FC Edmonton losing again (and big) which puts them in last place for the first time this year. We also discuss if this was the worst loss in FC Edmonton's history.
We then discuss the rumoured CPL branding creeping into the new BC division three league branding. We transition into talking about how this centralized branding is great from a corporate perspective, but loses a little bit in how local clubs/leagues capture the local flavour. FC Edmonton certainly feels like it's losing the "Edmonton" part of its name since joining the CanPL.
