DJT Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Final: Vancouver 2 California 2 3' VAN Eduardo Sebrango 42' CAL Mike Muñoz 60' CAL Josh Hansen 69' VAN Martin Nash Announced attendance: 4,931 This was California's first-ever match. Their first goal was the first given up by Vancouver in 6 games (going back to the first match of last year's playoffs, versus Miami). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I still don't think we should count players capped for other countries as Canadian but don't really want to get in a big debate about the issue. Regardless, the Caps started 6 Canadians by my count and 7 by Alan's count which is certainly better than I expected given the number of foreigners on the roster and is certainly better than last year. I will give credit where credit is due and say I am happy about this as well as the Impact's Canadian content so far. It does seem a bit strange to bring in so many foreigners to sit them on the bench but kudos to both teams for giving the Canadians a chance. I wonder if a possible motivation might be future transfer fees from TFC as well as preparation for the Canadian quota if either of the Caps or Impact do manage to move up to MLS level.

DarnCherry Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 Hmm, they drew less for this game than the season opener according to the announced attendance. Perfect sunny weather and no Canuck game to compete with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When ticket prices were announced pre-season the platinum seats were going for $41.50 and the cheapest bronze seats were going for $21. Seems the Whitecaps got a little dose of reality when nobody was buying them. I didn't hear them mention they dropped the prices, guess thats bad publicity.

Grizzly Posted April 29, 2007 Share Posted April 29, 2007 I guess they are finding out the hard way how important winning the USL championship is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
