Diaz gets his first start.

[Big_M]

diaz and garcia straight into the eleven with cantave whos been there for a couple weeks and gets his third start...on the other side zapater starting...what a battle between players who have played at the highest levels...who takes it zapater or garcia???

adding: vancouver once again travels with only five subs while it looks like only zadeh and chung are injured and no suspensions...

less than 5 minutes in garcia takes a super strike that hits the crossbar and everyone is shocked...all you had to do is watch his highlights and you would know he had that...to anyone facing him wake the hell up 

[Big_M]

acosta great strike 1-0 12'

[jordan]

It’s pretty fun watching Zapatar run around creating space for everyone

[Big_M]

irving two huge mistakes today and on the second a goal line header by romeo is needed to keep it out

[Big_M]

It was so hot in the sun this afternoon.  Not surprised more than a few folks couldn’t make it out.

The second half was uncomfortable. I had to stop in the beer store on the walk back just to walk through the fridge.

Beautiful goal. Should be a top ten on the season. Still way too many unforced errors from VFC. Basic stuff too.

It was even less comfortable from a VFC supporter perspective.

I think they’ve got some interesting pieces to work with going forward. They just don’t play as a team at all yet, which is somewhat understandable

Agreed. I like so many of those pieces, too.

Totally unacceptable. In exchange for my financial and emotional support, all I expect is that you do your best to try to win. This isn't it!!

Think its common in CPL for teams to bring 5 subs on the road. Helps keep traveling costs down and I've seen the same for years in US league's like USL and NASL 2.0 for that reason.
