Hasal's already made a couple of good saves.  Whitecaps need to get and keep possession, they're not pressuring TFC at all.

As much as I feel for Hasal picking the balk out of his net so often, he will sure as hell see a lot of action in net playing for the Caps.  It’s not like he is bored back there...

Fraser is having a pretty good game.  Some nice balls.  Moreso considering he is not playing his preferred dmid role

edit:   I just jinxed him.

fraser bad touch teibert takes it almost gone on a breakaway and he fouls teibert and gets a yellow..whitecaps complaining it should be red

[jonovision 721]

Another poor touch from Fraser gives Adnan a decent shot at goal.

[narduch 2,432]

1-0 at the half.

Finding it hard to get excited for these closed door matches. I almost prefer the fake fan noises.

TFC leading at the half despite playing the whole game so far  with 10 men.

Quentin Westberg could look like a normal human being. He, however, has chosen a different direction.

Vancouver puts you to sleep with their style of play.  Get to the midfield and turn around and pass it back to the defence, and repeat.

[Big_M 1,881]

ball in the air near fraser in his own box and just watches it doesnt go fast enough and adnan gets to it first..

[Big_M 1,881]

and there it is it was time to pull him out of there and they did it..delgado in..we got the confirmation tonight fraser has no business starting in mls

[gator 2,462]

Fraser didn't have a great match but it wasn't as bad as some will have you think, it would be good if all of the players were held to such demanding standards as the young Canadian, I just don't get the hate! 

[Big_M 1,881]

right away delgado is more offensive..passing forward going forward and a chance is created quickly

Sidebar observation:

- the virtual banners in the stands were more effective than the virtual stadium in the CPL games since the ball was at least partially visible when it passed in front of the areas with the digital overlay. I assume it was because the MLS banners were partially transparent since the seats could still be seen “underneath” them.

I was referring to Altidore being a total passenger in the first half.

I agree with KJ, Fraser was largely excellent. Vanney took him off because he wanted a change in formation to adjust to what Vancouver did at the half. And probably the safe move because he was on a yellow. 

[narduch 2,432]

TFC needs to move on from Altidore. They didn't have the balls to get rid of him after the Giovinco backlash.

Match felt like a friendly.

This mini tournament will essentially be over by next Friday if TFC defeats Montreal

Yes, Fraser played well.  He made some positive passes.

I have no idea what you are talking about.   Just an FYI. Fraser wore the shirt with the number 27.   You might have gotten him mixed up with someone elsae.

He was channelling his inner Terence Boyd out there.
