tmcmurph Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 1-0 for the Caps but it wasn't that close. Lots of chances for the Caps and most of the play and possession. New CB scored and apparently broke his ankle. Wes Knight also subbed out injured. Hopefully better soon. The NASL video stream was bad in the first half but got a bit better in the second half. It was at least watchable in the second half. The play by play was good and didn't have any problems so it was sort of like radio with delayed pictures. Growing pains for the new league. Third clean sheet to start the season. Thursday will be the real test as the Caps travel to Portland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Sounds like a costly win: http://www.whitecapsfc.com/men/schedule/2010_04_24_v_AC_St_Louis.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alberta white Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Total bummer on the Busted Leg. The Returning 'Baggie' seemed to do well, my lap top struggled with the feed so it was a little so the images were a lttle jerky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuscan Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 So Akloul is out with a broken leg then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue and White Army Posted April 25, 2010 Share Posted April 25, 2010 Broken ankle, likely for a few weeks. We've likely lost our best defender for the entire Voyageurs Cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Best part of this game was to see 2 former U20 internationals start upfront alongside each other. It was Randy Edwini-Bonsu's first start for the senior team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmcmurph Posted April 28, 2010 Author Share Posted April 28, 2010 How'd he do? REB did real good. The coach said after the game that he isn't ready for a full 90 yet but they are increasing his time with an eye on his age and development pace. When he was on the field you could see the difference it makes compared to when he was off. Haber also played an excellent holding forward role with excellent possession and not losing the ball when he had to stall until the midfielders could get up on the play. Good omen for our MNT in the future I say! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Out of curiosity, is Gage not improving as much as the Caps had hoped? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 ^I believe observers closer to the club than I think he's going to be released by 2011, if not sooner. Too bad. I still recall him walking around the pitch shaking hands with the supporters after we won the championship. He seemed like a nice kid. I wonder if his early success got to his head a little bit?

Johnnie Monster Posted April 28, 2010 Share Posted April 28, 2010 Gage was played at centre mid with Nash last year... but now he is competing for midfield spots against Jonny Steele, Ricardo Sanchez, Nizar Khalfan, a *finally* healthy Justin Moose, Wes Knight and Luca Bellisomo, to name a few. The Caps are quite deep at midfield and defence, with many players experienced and capable at both roles. I'd say this reflects more on the Caps' depth than issues with his ability. The kid turns 19 this year. If need be, the team can get him more playing time on the academy team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
