finchster Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Remember how this was the year Omar Salgado was supposed to break through? I can't wait for him to be off the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmcmurph Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Hope springs eternal. We are still 1 point ahead of Portland for the last playoff spot. Next week will be tough as we play Seattle and they get San Jose. Any of those dropped 6 points would be so huge right about now. Come on San Jose!!!

tmcmurph Posted October 11, 2014 Author Share Posted October 11, 2014 Cascadia Cup Champs 2 years in a row!! Taken from the flounders in their home with a hard fought and extremely well defended 1-0 victory. Kianz Froese played the entire second half at left mid and was very sharp. Back into 5th place and a point up on Portscum for the final playoff spot. What a game. What a night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trillium Posted October 11, 2014 Share Posted October 11, 2014 Congrats to the Caps on winning the second most important cup. Glad to see how ex TFC players did in the game, Tiebert and kid from the golden horse shoe, looked excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Posted October 12, 2014 Share Posted October 12, 2014 The Caps hate Canada and anyone else who watches this video! Please someone tell me that the Vancouver Whitecaps media department is staffed by 12 years olds. That is the only acceptable explanation for this: http://youtu.be/uWngMM8Fp6M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shamrock Posted October 13, 2014 Share Posted October 13, 2014 Not taking fans very seriously indeed. The exaggerated shouting of Ousted after every ball that came into his direction is really starting to get annoying btw. You're a goalie! It's your job to stop these balls man, get over it!

TheKottonmouthed1555362307 Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Not taking fans very seriously indeed. The exaggerated shouting of Ousted after every ball that came into his direction is really starting to get annoying btw. You're a goalie! It's your job to stop these balls man, get over it! Ousted has been fantastic, his shouting keeps guys accountable. Beitashour has been better since there tiff in the game a few weeks ago. He also has taken over the vocal role since DeMerit's departure, and rightly so Waston is great but not ready to or aware enough to direct everyone and O'Brien is too quiet too. After a offseason of questions, this team has come around to win some big games. Was nice to see Froese get in for a big game and hold his own.

shamrock Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 If it was about helping the team, he would be shouting BEFORE the shot. No-one plays better if someones yelling at you after the shot. And again, I could understand it happening after a big mistake, but after every single shot? Wish we could ask the guys in front of him what they think about it. And I don't think he's been great, he's been average. I can remember several mistakes while I can't come up with a near-impossibe save that won points for his team.

nolando Posted October 14, 2014 Share Posted October 14, 2014 Ousted is also the second highest paid keeper in the league, fwiw, and should be judged accordingly. I think he's been fine the past few months, occasionally splendid and occasionally fair, but never close to world or even MVP class. And I think I'm okay with that.

Ruffian Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Will Kianz Froese get more playing time? Is Manneh's injury a long term thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masster Posted October 15, 2014 Share Posted October 15, 2014 Will Kianz Froese get more playing time? Is Manneh's injury a long term thing? Manneh is back in training this week so he should be fine. Fernandez is returning from suspension as well. Laba and Teibert are both only 1 yellow away from a suspension I think, but then you have Koffie who is coming back from injury. In other words, there is no obvious opening. If Portland loses to RSL on Friday and the Whitecaps can beat San Jose, you might see Froese and Adekugbe get a run out in what could be a meaningless final game against Colorado.

tmcmurph Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 No I'm afraid not. This is the perfect way to end the season! We are in the playoffs but Sam played 60 minutes very well and Russell went 56 and they may get to play again on Wednesday night IN THE PLAYOFF/PLAYIN GAME. Bwa ha ha ha. I love it when they get minutes in games that mean everything much more than meaningless games. Well my dream of all 3 Canadian teams making the playoffs will have to wait another year but at least one is in. Cheers and good luck to TFC & Montreal next season.

shermanator Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 The Whitecaps outperformed my expectations in 2014, both in the standings and in what they did with their young Canadian players. Morales and Waston were fantastic pickups. I guess this means I get my first look (hopefully) at Akindele on Wed as well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nolando Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 So much fun last night but man, what a nervous first hour or so. The intensity of Waston and Rosales made them look like they had been Caps for years.In terms of the year-end review I think Alderson must be a disappointed lad after his lack of a season. Is Beita out for long? Harvey at RB worries me vs Dallas. Hard not to see most of this year as a success despite that dire midseason form and the general lack of production up front.

tmcmurph Posted October 26, 2014 Author Share Posted October 26, 2014 50 points will get you in the playoffs most years so I'm glad we made that milestone. We were close to it last year but ended with 48. Still some problems to deal with on the team but we've got a good squad defensively now and that is what wins in soccer. 13 clean sheets, excellent DM and a fantastic mid season addition to our centre back group have been the difference. One thing I really love about Rosales is the way he bounces up when knocked over. He is up and back at it any time the ball is still near and wins it back quite a bit. If the ball is gone or the ref calls a foul he sits and catches his breath. True veteran smarts. He may only be good for 60-70 minutes a game but I'll take that any day. Waston has got 5 yellow cards and 2 goals in his first 10 games as a Cap. My kind of CB!! Big, goes for the ball with an authority that scares the other team's players, excellent on corners (he has as many goals from corners in 10 games as the Caps have had it 2 years!!). Wow. What a catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Obinna Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Congrats to the Caps! Here's to hoping they get past Dallas to set up an all Pacific NW semi final match up versus the Sounders. They gotta open up the full stadium for that one. I bet they can get +45K at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prawnsideFC Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Beitashour out for Wednesday so looks like Adekugbe should start! This kid is for real, I loved what he brought vs Colorado. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmcmurph Posted October 27, 2014 Author Share Posted October 27, 2014 Beitashour out for Wednesday so looks like Adekugbe should start! This kid is for real, I loved what he brought vs Colorado. He got forward a few times quite effectively. After we went up 1-0 Robbo was telling him and Harvey to stay back more so less offence but some nice defending and intercepts/clearances. We might see Sampson at RB and Harvey back at LB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackdude Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 C'mon it's a big game. They'll put Ethan Sampson in Frisco. Why would you want Jordan Harvey at right back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VWFC Posted October 27, 2014 Share Posted October 27, 2014 Cascadia Cup, CL qualification, and playoffs. All that with 12 players 22yrs or younger getting playing time during the season & Cup - Unreal! Couple changes to come in up front but the future is bright. Watch this space.
