If the Whitecaps lose to Valour, does that cost or speed up the process in Vanni being shown the door. We have see it before. I know one games doesn't make or break the coach, but it surely does not help. Food for thought It's really only "killed" a coach once, and he failed to beat a CPL team in 3 opportunities. Honestly it probably depends on how they play. If they outshine Valour 15-1 but Sirois absolutely stands on his head and Valour scores on the counter, well that's soccer and Vanni probably gets a bit more time based on the TFC win and a beatable opportunity coming up. If the Whitecaps again look uninspired and disorganized and are clearly the worst team on the field (like they did under MDS), then Vanni might be gone sooner.

Bison44 Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 Sirois cant play due to loan agreement. Van might put a beating on Valour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonovision Posted May 11, 2022 Share Posted May 11, 2022 (edited) Vancouver would really have to shit the bed to lose this match. Their other losses to CPL teams have been against good teams. Likeliest result in my opinion is a 3 goal win. Edited May 11, 2022 by jonovision Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A very un Whitecaps move if true As a close observer of Italian football, it would be a very stupid move as well. His body is starting to break down. If he was signed as a part time player for his leadership and mentorship, maybe that would be understandable...but that would make no financial sense.

BearcatSA Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 The first match I watched in person since last fall, it was a snoozer first half which came alive in the second half in main part due to clown college defending by both teams. My biggest takeaway was the positive play of Cavallini. Two opponents of similar calibre, I guess a tie is what you would expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Watchmen Posted May 16, 2022 Share Posted May 16, 2022 Vanni switched to 3 at the back and they utterly fell apart defensively. Cavallini with his best game this season. Seemed to be everywhere and pretty effective most of the time. Could easily have had a couple more. Team was sloppy with a bunch of their crosses. Really frustrating watching a bunch of wide open players attempt the cross and just sail it out of bounds instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivan Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 I've only watched the first half of last night's game (so far), but that was the best I've seen from Baldisimo in a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen anything like this, then again we are in a pandemic. Would be a miracle if the Caps pull a win out of this match, draw could be nice.

Irving was the one who sprang to my mind as a possibility first. toontownman and Stryker911 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps it was easier to get the York United keeper to Charlotte. Or maybe Schuster actually rates him higher than the other two mentioned, who knows?
