2018 Vancouver Whitecaps

[Peen]

full on cringe

 

[Black Noise]

wtf henry why

 

[SeawaterOnIce]

LOL so Davies goes down and the Whitecaps concede a downright stupid own goal with seconds to go. What in the f*** was Henry thinking there?

Robbo et al have rested its best players for this stupid championship, undoubtedly costing points in the MLS standings and this is the end result. Management really wanted to give the fans "something" because they knew they could not contend for the MLS Championship. In the end, they will likely bow out in Toronto and be left with nothing to show for the 2 years Davies has shined.

Fun times ahead. One can be really optimistic looking at how this team made literally no moves during the transfer period. Putting that Davies money to very good use eh?

 

[Captain Bowie]

Patrik Stefan is embarrassed for you bro.

 

[nucksflailtogether]

That was....something

 

[CanuckleBerry]

How the hell did the Caps f*** this up?
I have been a budding Whitecaps and soccer fan for a number of years. But this kind of garbage makes it really bloody hard.

Its just a baked in part of the story. Vancouver sports is a special kind of thing where you just have to accept it and move on with life. I found this one to be particularly foul tasting though.

It's like they're doing it on purpose at this point.

I just wish I had something to enjoy in the sports world these days.

He did play for TFC I think ....maybe he was confused?

Kinda looked like his header was meaningful.

 

[Canadian Canuck]

Lord help me.

 

[Wo Yorfat]

1. Decide not to drink for a few wks bc I'm getting too fat.
2. Fire up pvr'd caps game.
3. Glug glug glug.

He’s also from Toronto

 

[trellaine201]

Yikes

 

[Tryamkin]

Haven't watched a lot of the caps over the past two seasons.

That's not the Hurtado I remember. He would usually **** that up.

His Norwegian vacation may have had something to do with that

 

[sabremike]

Making up for it tonight so far in Portland. Real stupid defensive play (guy came in for a dumb and pointless tackle well after he no longer had the ball) but Valeri missed it in hilarious fashion.

 

[WinterEmpire]

What in the literal fudge happened

Embarrassment

 

[ProstheticConscience]

Actually watched some of the game tonight; was some weird transit snafu and got hung up at Waterfront for a while. Had 2 Toronto games going at the bar. Whitecaps being killed on one, Blue Jays killing KC on the other.

D'oh.

They couldn't bunker for the tie, had to go on the attack, and... Toronto is a much better team that deliberately takes financial losses to field an all-star lineup, so...

When one of Toronto's players makes more than the entire Whitecaps team, it's just a matter of time before that quality comes through. Caps try to play a counter-attack, but when you have someone like Giovinco running an offense, he's got the ability to beat defenders. Personally, I'd like to see the Caps try to play a little more positively with their formation, Caps pretty much play a 4-4-1-1.

 

[Lindgren]

That was a nice win for the Caps.

There's a big game today: Portland vs Seattle. I'm hoping for a draw.

The contrast on the TSN site between the coverage of Toronto's and Vancouver's games on Saturday is pretty funny.

And ... Seattle takes it 1-0.

So, anyone with thoughts on the Whitecaps new signing?

Whitecaps add Dutch striker Marvin Emnes

He was decent when he was young but I don't think we should expect too much.

Carl Robinson has been let go: Vancouver Whitecaps FC release head coach Carl Robinson

So have Stewart Kerr and Martyn Pert.

Whitecaps cleaning house. Wish Lenarduzzi was with them.

Doesn't seem like things will change much unless there is ownership change - but I'll admit I don't follow the team all that closely so my perception could be WAY off.

Carl was the least of their worries. He extracted what he could out of the squad. Had to rely on a longball/counter strategy to contend with the crappy roster that lacked any decent midfielders. The owners will still likely be super cheap and this will mean more of the same.

Good luck to the next manager.
