OT: 2015 Vancouver Whitecaps FC Thread - Part IV

[The Stig]

Save of the damn year

Techera's been a total non-factor today.

Whoa, Pedro coming in. Not sure about that. I guess Robbo wants to win it, but we don't look very good going forward so I'm not sure the point of bringing in Pedro. I wouldn't risk him hurting himself again.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

This half has been a lot scarier than it should have been.

 

[Virtanen18]

I hate when players tell the refs to show a card, personally I'd be more likely to give the offending player his punishment then show a card to the player telling me how to do my job for dissent.

100% this. Embarrassing stuff.

I don't understand why they think that a 0-0 draw is a good result. We're playing a team that has played 120 minutes three days ago. We should be pushing for a win, not a draw.

If we go home with a 0-0 tie, even a 1-1 draw sees us go out. I'd rather have either a win or a scoring tie to give us that precious away goal.

 

[RingWraith]

This is pretty bad. The team that played 120 mins just a few days ago is dictating the flow, bringing energy, and not at all on its toes. The posession should be flipped. What on earth.

 

[canadianmagpie]

Should be a yellow for deliberate handball, pretty blatant use of the hands.

So I don't understand why soccer does aggregate scoring but anyways. If this game ends 0-0... And next week ends 1-1 the Portland would win correct?

Yes, the MLS uses the away goals rule.

It's remarkable how much better the Caps look when Pedro is on the field.

Away goals > home goals

Considering portland has outplayed us, nil-nil would be a decent result given the way the game has gone. But yes, would love an away goal as unlikely as it seems.

Mattocks? Why? Earnshaw shows more finishing in five minutes that Mattocks could ever show

 

[RingWraith]

So painful to watch. Caps do not deserve to win this.

i think robbo's math is:

mattocks' speed + tired portland team = net positive?

Yet we look more tired.

Thank God for the post!

 

[PG Canuck]

Lucky as ****

Earnshaw would have had to be on the bench first.




Caps extremely lucky to have this at 0-0 still.

He's had this thought before, like against NYCFC. It never works

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Sadly, Portland looked stronger as this game moved forward. Shocking, really.

 

[Samzilla]

wow...lucky as ****. portland still has another post in them to make up for all the luck they got in the sporting kc penalties.

Why is Mattocks in the team instead then?

 

[Virtanen18]

Sucks how bad we've been, but not having a proper CAM for most of the game does not help.

 

[CanadianFlyer88]

Pre-match, a 0-0 result would have been a disappointment.

With how awful they looked today, 0-0 is a good result. Win at home and move on, gents.

 

[WinterEmpire]

Time to bring it back home and get the W
