According to the official synopsis, Deadpool is "based upon Marvel Comics' most unconventional anti-hero," though we've always subscribed to the thought that he's more of an anti-villain. Anti-heros are heroes with villainous qualities, while anti-villains are the opposite. The synopsis goes on to say that "Deadpool tells the origin story of former Special Forces operative turned mercenary Wade Wilson, who after being subjected to a rogue experiment that leaves him with accelerated healing powers, adopts the alter ego Deadpool." With a run-on sentence like that, no wonder they call this guy the Merc with the Mouth. "Armed with his new abilities and dark, twisted sense of humour, Deadpool hunts down the man who nearly destroyed his life."

Stealth make it a rough time for Calgary at the LEC
The Calgary Roughnecks arrived in Vancouver brimming with confidence. Well, at least they did by their own somewhat lowly standards. Sure, times are rough. They lost their first five matches of the season. But they managed to score 26 goals over their last two outings. That had to help boost their confidence. And coming so close to getting that first victory, losing the last two by a single goal, has only made them hungrier still.

With five trialists, two residency players, and an unsigned draftee all vying for one Vancouver's three remaining openings, Whitecaps FC manager Carl Robinson has some decisions to make. Robert Earnshaw, Dane Richards, and Kalif Alhassan, his three most experienced trialists, all started the match.

Rivalries can be funny things at times. Sometimes they're based on simple geography, like Vancouver's Cascadian derbies with Portland Timbers and Seattle Sounders FC. It's been said that familiarity breeds contempt, and although it might be a little bit harsh, it wouldn't be untoward when describing the Cascadia Cup matches.

In 19 seasons of Major League Soccer, 119 players have combined to keep 1,925 clean sheets. On Saturday night at BC Place, Vancouver's David Ousted made it 1,926. It was his 13th of the year and two better than his closest rival, DC United's Bill Hamid.
Read MoreWhitecaps must now wait after clash with the Quakes
The Whitecaps retained the Cascadia Cup last week in Washington. Vancouver's win meant that the Los Angeles Galaxy could take a three point lead over the Seattle Sounders FC with a win in Dallas. And while Stefan Ishizaki's 22nd minute effort proved insufficient to the task, watching the Curva Collective, Rain City Brigade, and Vancouver Southsiders present the Cascadia Cup to Pedro Morales and the Vancouver Whitecaps Football Club still hurt. A lot.

Read MoreHeineken scores first Major League Sponsorship in North America
On Tuesday, Heineken entered into a multi-year, multi-million dollar sponsorship deal with Major League. Conflicting reports put it at either four or five years, with each year of the deal being worth 10-million dollars. Beginning in 2015, Heineken will feature prominently during broadcasts, with on-site signage, digital advertisements, and point-of-sale materials. The problem here is that while Heineken will become the league's Official Beer, that doesn't necessarily translate into being a club's Official Beer.

The Vancouver Whitecaps FC and their supporters travelled down the I-5 on Friday knowing that they controlled their own destiny. Lose, and they would finish third in the Cascadia Cup table.
