ThiKu Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 The Whitecapsfc.com roster showed how young the team was....great stuff. But they need to be playing games at least every other week if not every week....these are young kids that could get a good game against various PDL, PCSL, VMSL (all-star?) teams...better than nothing.

youllneverwalkalone Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Apparently Paul Ritchie said that they are aware the reserve schedule is insufficient and have Jake DeClute looking for some NCAA competition to fill out the schedule. Maybe not the best for the established pros, but should help the U23s once the PDL season ends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThiKu Posted March 27, 2012 Share Posted March 27, 2012 Yes I saw those remarks. The best option for pro's is to give them loans ..... but then they need to be replaced on the roster and it is a catch-22 in North Am.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j.i.m. Posted April 1, 2012 Share Posted April 1, 2012 It's a shame that the Caps didn't have a single Canadian dressed for yesterday's game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
youllneverwalkalone Posted April 2, 2012 Share Posted April 2, 2012 It's a shame that the Caps didn't have a single Canadian dressed for yesterday's game. Definitely. Alderson and Teibert should have been withdrawn from Olympic Qualifying. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soccerpro Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Definitely. Alderson and Teibert should have been withdrawn from Olympic Qualifying. That's not what he meant. And if those two weren't at olympic qualifying, at best you might see Teibert on for 30 mins in a game, at best and no Alderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keegan Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 The Whitecaps need to make room for Teibert in their XI... there's no way someone that talented should be sitting on the bench in MLS. To me he looked a lot better in OQ than when he first broke into MLS last year and I thought he looked good then. I'd like to see him in an attacking role, though for now he may need to fill in for Rochat (is he still injured?). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to see him in an attacking role, though for now he may need to fill in for Rochat (is he still injured?). Agreed. The Caps are desperate for some attacking width. The guys they have out wide now aren't wingers and all end up drifting to the middle where they have been shut down quite easily. Camilo in particular is wasted out there and would be much more useful inside. Teibert takes a nice corner too, something which the Caps have been lacking since day one really.

Keegan Posted April 3, 2012 Share Posted April 3, 2012 Not only do they look useless out wide, they are! Two straight scoreless matches, its time for Teibert... I'm not a cap fan but I watch most matches and I'd drop Hassli, he's too one dimensional for the way the team is set up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted April 3, 2012 Author Share Posted April 3, 2012 I agree getting Tiebert on the pitch more is something the 'Caos need to figure out. Though with it's crowded up front. He should be the guy who comes on late for Camilo. I also think if Tiebert was there last game he would of started where Watson was wide left.

Re Tiebert and Watson, I'd like to think that Tiebert would have started out wide last game, but like Vagenas last year I am starting to think that Watson must have compromising photos of someone in Caps management.

Sam Brown Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I really don't understand many 'Caps fans and the media at the moment. I keep hearing people talking about Hassli and how he hasn't scored yet. It's been three games! In new formation! With different partnerships! Give the guy a break. Oh, and don't go "Yeah, but this dates back to last season." That is irrelevant because it was LAST season. Get behind the guy, let him score some goals and drive the team to the playoffs.

youllneverwalkalone Posted April 9, 2012 Share Posted April 9, 2012 Whitecaps continue their plot to destroy Canadian soccer with Alderson, Teibert, Fisk, Caleb Clarke, Sam Adekugbe and Ben McKendry all seeing action in the Caps reserves 2-1 victory over San Jose reserves on Sunday. Although he doesn't deserve any Vs support being from Vancouver, Ben McKendry appears to have endeared himself to the Caps coaching staff and may be a dark horse to claim a pro contract over other more highly touted 93s, namely Fisk and Clarke.

Yes, everyone is against Vancouver, everyone hates them, that's it. Or it would just be nice if they weren't the Arsenal of MLS right now. Play Teibert once in a while, just for a minute? You'll probably still do ok! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought my question was quite logical and not baiting. Yes, you are posting about 6 young Canadians. That's great. I'm just curious as to why you added the extra stuff that I bolded. I particularly don't get the one about McKendry and why he doesn't deserve any V's support. No big deal though. If you think it's baiting, I'll just move along. No problem.

youllneverwalkalone Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 I'll just move along. No problem. Please do. I'd like to have one thread for posting player updates for the Caps. If, along the way, there is some ridiculousness or other hyperbole that makes fun of the many/any other Whitecaps threads that are constantly hijacked by moaning about lack of Canadians, then fair play to me.

El Hombre Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Fair enough. Don't be surprised though that some people take what you wrote the wrong way. Then the important information of how 6 young Canadians performed gets lost in the shuffle. It's also too bad that McKendry may have opted to represent New Zealand.

youllneverwalkalone Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Whitecaps Reserves to play the University of Washington Huskies, 4pm, Friday, April 13th at Swangard. Expect several of the 93s to see action, including the treacherous Ben McKendry, enemy of the Voyageurs (who factually attended a Canadian U20, committing to Canada but why let facts get in the way of more paranoia. Especially a great example to set as a board moderator). FWIW: INTERNATIONAL U-20: A dual Canadian and New Zealand citizen, McKendry attended a training camp with New Zealand's U-20 national team before opting to represent his birth country of Canada. In Dec. 2011, McKendry attended a training camp with Canada’s U-20 national team in Sunrise, Florida, after being selected by head coach Nick Dasovic. U-18: McKendry’s first call-up to the Canadian national team program was with the country’s U-18 squad for a Jan. 2011 camp in San Jose, Costa Rica.

All I read was this site which only says the following: INTERNATIONAL U-20: A dual Canadian and New Zealand citizen, McKendry recently attended a training camp with New Zealand's U-20 national team. Yes, that's entirely my mistake. Please accept my apologies. I guess I'm having a bad day as his name didn't instantly ring a bell. Thank you for enlightening me to the fact that he was involved with the U18 and U20 teams. I rescind my off-hand observation. Fu'k me, it's getting hard to have a conversation around here.

Looks like he was part of the NZ U20 team at 17 so that's encouraging New Zealand's senior squad has two friendlies this month against CONCACAF countries, should be interesting if they call Mckendry for either of them, seems a long shot still. Both games are in North America, as warm ups for the OFC nations cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Bob Posted April 11, 2012 Share Posted April 11, 2012 McKendry's on the Canadian radar and enthusiastic to wear the Maple Leaf. When he played for New Zealand, the CSA hadn't expressed any interest in him. His club would also rather see him with Canada. I'd be stunned if he turned down Canada to play for New Zealand. Stunned.

youllneverwalkalone Posted April 19, 2012 Share Posted April 19, 2012 Wow, the Caps really do hate Canadian soccer: Jacob Lensky on trial! Interesting to learn from Michael's CSN article, that he's played quite a few matches now in the Dutch top flight, and in the centre of midfield no less. Kinda lost track of him after that sad video was posted around here. Hopefully Danny Fernandes will be next, though wiki says he's signed with FC Twente.
