OT: 2018 Vancouver Whitecaps Thread

[The Stig]

When I played, I was always the setup man, never the scorer (only scored 2-4 goals a year) but set up about 30-40% of the goals my team scored. I appreciate the pass more often than the finish.

Agreed. There will always be that one rare finish that makes you go crazy....like this:


But yea a good cross is always great to watch.

Don't know why we risk Montero in this game at the moment. 20 minutes left and up 2-0. I'd rather see Mezquida or Jacobson for Tchani. Give Tchani a break in case he'll be playing on the weekend.

 

[canadianmagpie]

Lovely header by Shea there. 3-0 and on their way to 1st in the west.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Great game tonight, wasn't impressed with Tchani though

 

[The Stig]

Man...we are finally capitalizing on games that we need to win.

 

[WinterEmpire]

This season has such a different feel from years past

Winning critical games
Successful transfers

!!

Nothing like a Dman putting his arm up for offside as he gets ran past.

 

[The Stig]

I'm watching this 70% and the Lions 30%

 

[Stormblessed]

Whoever is doing this game in 1410 should never do another. Driest commentary I've ever heard

 

[canadianmagpie]

Why didn't Manneh do that for us? Come on Caps, you're not capitalizing on your chances.

He did. That distance is his bread and butter.

 

[canadianmagpie]

Had to be Tchani!

Columbus deserve that for their attempts at time-wasting by faking injuries.

 

[The Stig]

Very happy to get a point. The lads have had a lot of game time recently so I'm happy with the results

 

[clunk]

Definitely a top 5 game this season in terms of entertainment for me.

If you have it recorded and haven't watched it, I definitely recommend it.

It looked like Tchani and Gregg Berhalter were having some words at the end of the game. The microphone just picked it up with Berhalter saying in a somewhat exasperated tone - "But we're not in first place".

Yeah, the audible part was "You're in first place... we're not in first place." It was very strange. If Tchani had been showboating or something — instead of doing the exact opposite — after scoring a huge goal it would... maybe have something to do with that? Although the dumb rules of machismo and "honor" in sports usually work the other way around anyway. I was definitely hoping someone would write something about it.

What a cross by Reyna, all Montero needed to do was direct it home.

That was gorgeous.

 

[canadianmagpie]

That was cringe-worthy by Parker there. Need to deal with that better.

Unexcusably bad defending. That was bush league. Probably the worst gaffe I've seen Parker make.

i was so sickened by that goal i turned the game off, lol

 

[canadianmagpie]

Pretty bad goaltending by Howard there, should have gone for that but I'm happy he hesitated there because now it's 2-1.

EDIT:

Better turn it back on!

 

[canadianmagpie]

Also, got to give credit to the ref for playing advantage there. He had his whistle in his mouth about to call the guy for holding Shea's arm.

 

[Jyrki21]

Reyna reyna reyna? Reyna, reyna reyna!

Reyna – reyna reyna reyna, reyna reyna, reyna reyna. Reyna, reyna reyna; reyna reyna reyna. Reyna? Reyna!

Reyna reyna reyna, reyna reyna... reyna? Reyna reyna: Reyna.

Reyna reyna, Yordy Reyna.

-Reyna

 

[The Stig]

I seriously like this team.
