masster Posted July 2 Share Posted July 2 Except the Whitecaps have the Wrexham friendly on the 27th...and you would think they would make Gauld play at least a half. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always thought the refs take into account whether the ball bounced onto the arm after hitting another part of the body. I'm trying to be as objective as possible...but in an ideal world, I don't think that should be a penalty on Brown. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 That was some timely finishing from the Whitecaps and it vaults them over Minnesota. It doesn't change the fact they need to upgrade this summer, but it makes them less desperate when buying.

saladroit Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 gauld/berhalter/white the obvious standouts but credit where credit's due, i think pedro vite's been pretty outstanding these past two matches Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they still play amazingly poorly and they are full of wrong decisions all over the pitch. They just finish clinically. I found the match, even winning, maddening. There's your 10th best team in MLS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Players look lost at times over what they're supposed to do or where to go. And his 3-4-3 set up also pushes players in the spots they're not comfortable in. I'm not saying this is a great team, but it's hard to figure out what they do have because the coaching is so atrocities. costarg 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have a good squad, but the formation/system doesn't seem to bring the best out of them. Another coach that can't or won't adapt to his squad.

Watchmen Posted July 13 Share Posted July 13 Don't think it will happen today, but would like to see Boehmer get in to an MLS game soon. Wednesday at home to KC would be a good one. I don't have a problem with Takaoka continuing to be the #1, but Vanni's going down the same path as last year of overplaying him and burning him out by seasons end. Plus, Boehmer has been good in his Voyageurs Cup appearances. Granted, one of those was against a CPL side that struggles to score. But he still made a number of quality saves. nolando 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An Observer Posted July 15 Share Posted July 15 I really hope to see him in Canadian red some day. Perfect replacement to Osorio and brings more grit and better engine. Weng 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watchmen Posted July 18 Share Posted July 18 This team doesn't make things easy on itself. Should have won by 3 or 4. Can't keep a clean sheet. Thought Ahmed was making some good plays tonight, but a fraction too slow. 2 goals called off because he waited a bit too long to make a pass.

Raposo scored last week, and this week you were having to duck if you were in row Z. Vite can't softly shoot it straight at the goalie from dead center in front of the net and unmarked. Vanni's "perfect defensive system" hasn't kept a clean sheet in MLS since May 4, when Austin attempted only 1 shot on net the entire game. At least Fafa got his 2nd in two games. And as I said Ahmed was good, his timing was just a fraction off. Otherwise, he would have had a goal and an assist. saladroit 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unnamed Trialist Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) I picked a good day to go be entertained by the Whitecaps. Luis Martins, who decided this guy gets to be a professional footballer? Then it doesn't help that Berhalter didn't get the memo about his special needs, playing on the same side of the pitch.
