OT: 2014 Vancouver Whitecaps Thread - Part II

[DoubleTrouble]

Too bad about Demerit....never fun to retire early due to injury. I really liked him too, best of luck to him in the future.

On another note, I know the team is still relatively new, but I really surprises me how little talked about the team is in Vancouver. Yes they have their core fanbase, but it seems that a lot of Vancouverites (and British Columbians) only think of the Canucks and Lions when they think pro sports in Vancouver. At least that's what I noticed.

New Team New League.. It will take some time for the rest of the province to get behind this team. We have been burned before with the Old league

I think what they need is a BIG name player for a lot of BC'er to start supporting this team

Right now very few soccer fans know any of these players.. Only one Whitecap made the world cup.

Demerit announces his retirement today. Frees up a spot and some cash for a replacement. The Whitecaps could certainly use another solid defender... more like two though.....

Demerit is being paid through the end of the season to do community work and such. I don't know if that means any roster moves are impending.

 

[Virtanen18]

Wtf kinda game is this? The Whitecaps are playing completely Pejorative Slured.

Missed chances and **** defense.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

5 amazing chance for, 2 against, down 2-1, THE VANCOUVER WHITECAPS STORY

 

[Virtanen18]

Not even 2 against. Gifted them that penalty

Players need to stop with all the *****ing. Mattocks was just crying, Fernandez gave up on a ball to cry to the ref. Ousted having a tantrum after every play is tiresome too.

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

This team is terrible. Ousted is a mediocre keeper.

 

[Virtanen18]

At least he's got that loud voice to yell at his defenders like they're children.

 

[Peen]

This team is terrible. Ousted is a mediocre keeper.

I don't mind ousted.

 

[The Stig]

Morales ties it from the spot!

 

[trellaine201]

Was t that hand ball outside the box? Weird

 

[Virtanen18]

Hit the net, Morales. That's three good looks.

But good PK finish

Demerit is trying to get a job as a commentator, lol.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

Hahah I like Demerit doing color.

 

[Virtanen18]

That was definitely handled outside the box, lol.

 

[Virtanen18]

Hurtado hasn't done anything. I'd bring on Manneh.

 

[The Stig]

So...many....chances

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

At least the Pedro Morales show is fun to watch.

 

[Virtanen18]

Ugh, this should've been an easy win. Need a late winner here.

 

[The Stig]

We have totally controlled this second half

 

[Virtanen18]

Beitashour better be alright. Don't want to see too much of Reo-Coker.

 

[Burke's Evil Spirit]

I wonder when Whitecaps management will come around on the fact that Mattocks has like, zero ****ing touch.

 

[Virtanen18]

WHY MATTOCKS WHY

Can't stand when players do that late in games. It goes well over 99.8% of the time.

 

[Virtanen18]

I wonder when Whitecaps management will come around on the fact that Mattocks has like, zero ****ing touch.

Yeah, we should totally get rid of the guy who scored in the last three games.

 

[Virtanen18]

Wow, we really should have won that one. Pedro Morales, take a bow. You had a game.

 

[Peen]

Mattocks is a better option than manneh or Hurtado.

He's got a very good turn, and he does have some chemistry with Morales.

Rather see us move Hurtado out.

Can someone explain the surface the teams played on? It looked like the ball was bouncing too much? Could the surface be some of the problem for ball control?
