DarnCherry Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Just thought I'd mention it. Two top teams in the USL are battling it out. Games on at USL live as usual. They are using an FSN feed so we get a proper scoreboard with a clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarnCherry Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Cracking strike by Martin Nash from 25 yards out opens the score. Whitecaps started the game in the 5-3-2 formation. Which means he'll probably drop to a 6-3-1 formation or something ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and White Army Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Get in there, Batman Chin! Actually, Morbital put a "proper clock" on the Whitecaps feed as of last match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarnCherry Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Morbital? It looked like the Shaw TV feed to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and White Army Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Oh, Morbs was taking credit for it at the match. ...And it's 1-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarnCherry Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 Why is it that Whitecaps fans don't seem to follow their team on the road? There's no live chat, nor do I see anyone on the Southsiders board commenting about the game. Even poorly supported teams like Miami and California seem to get a group following every road game.

Blue and White Army Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Beats me. Barely a soul travelled down to Seattle earlier this season, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarnCherry Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 I'm not singling out southsiders here either. The club averages 5,000 people a game, yet doesn't even seem to get a handful of people to watch and chat about road games. How many are even aware their is a match tonight? Even if people find the Southsider board too abrasive they could post on the Whitecaps section of USL discussions or whatever. There seems to be absolutely no internet presence of Whitecaps fans.

Blue and White Army Posted July 20, 2007 Share Posted July 20, 2007 Where are these chats? On the USLlive.com site? I guess the official Whitecaps site could do a better job of encouraging Grandstanders onto USLdiscussions.com ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess the official Whitecaps site could do a better job of encouraging Grandstanders onto USLdiscussions.com ... Well, the chats are usually held by the various supporters groups. Seattle, Portland and Carolina always have one going, there may be more chats. I usually find a link to them by reading USL discussions or Big Soccer before the games. The supporters that don't have chats usually have an in game thread such as you try to have on the southsiders board. But as you just posted over there, there's nobody there. No use posting just to yourself. Big crowd at BC Place for the Lions tonight though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarnCherry Posted July 20, 2007 Author Share Posted July 20, 2007 I've been getting a fine picture. I did close the stream during halftime though so I could watch some of the Lions game on TSN broadband (best damn thing they have ever done). Anyway, Whitecaps are looking like they could lose big.
