McNaughton ties it

[dyslexic nam]

What a delivery.  They clearly aren’t entirely used to each other but there have been signs of much to come from TFC this game.

Redemption for Lukas as I think he was way out of positioning on GA

[dyslexic nam]

Massive save by Bono.  Thought there was a Vancouver foul in the buildup but the ref has let a few things go this game.

Oh boy, Mavinga and Henry coming on in a tie game???  Bradley is channeling Floro's spirit tonight.

Crazy to sub out both CBs at the same time.  

[narduch]

Going to penalties 

[Bison44]

IEEEEEE.   Penalties with Boehmer in the net??  Oh man, at least he doesnt have to face Insigne.  

[dyslexic nam]

Straight to PKs.  I would prefer to see extra time (even though it is 1:30am here…).

Cropper is in the net

Even worse....

Whitecaps are the champs.

Osorio hit a post on his. Only missed kick

[dyslexic nam]

Congrats to Vancouver - they played well tonight.  Conceded a fair bit of possession but executed their plan.   And pushed on all night by a great crowd tonight. 

[Gian-Luca]

I think Osorio is now 0-3 on PK attempts in shoot-outs and I think he has hit the woodwork each time. I was surprised that Ayo didn't shoot ahead of him, but maybe he was supposed to go 5th.

 

[Bison44]

Great for Vancouver.  Sartini goes shirtless, fans are loving it.  I hope this fires them up and they go on a run.  

[jonovision]

The best result for this cup and Canadian soccer. Wish it could have been decided with the Ricketts chance instead of penalties. 

Cubas the best player on the pitch for either team.

[Bison44]

Did a V not hand out the cup???  Ted???  UT???

[shorty]

One Soccer cut back to the presentation and it was Bontis presenting. Also confused.

Cubas was fantastic. Caps executed a great game plan. More talent on TFC, but the Caps are much younger. They worked their tails off, as my dad would say.

Caps still need one or two more quality players. Gressel will help, once he settles in. TFC is going to be amazing once the Italian-Italians settle in, which won't take much longer. Playing with guys like Insigne and Bernaleftfootonly (but what a left foot!) should help Oso and Ayo and Jayden et al. raise their levels.

But proud of the Caps tonight. We played excellent Italian football tonight.

Cubas and Gauld were excellent. Best Gauld has looked all season IMO. White too, guy just seems to find a way. I think TFC bought into their hype a bit - didn’t deal very well with a team that counters.

Did the crowd look lively on TV?

I felt the non supporter sections really warmed up after our goal and the ref allowing TFC to foul our buildup a few times, bit of controversy to get them going. We have poor acoustics at BC Place so it's hard to tell.

The place seemed loud on the pirate stream I was watching for the second half.
