Neither team are really winning over Canadian neutrals with their lineups

What players that are missing would win over the neutrals ?

[shermanator]

BC Place is one very empty stadium at kickoff.

[Cheeta]

^ To be sure.  But nice to see Samie clatter into Richie there a few minutes ago.

15' yellow picault

[Cheeta]

I'm not sure but I suspect Herdman's pre-match locker room pep talk may have included the phrases "falling behind" and "dead meat".  

See?  Sometimes they do listen.  How long it lasts...

[ahmedou]

Ahmed. Ade. Boehmer

Oso. Laryea. Kerr.

6 Canadians on the field. 

[Big_M]

37' penalty for tfc!

[Cheeta]

LOL.  

What a bum.

Poor penalty shot.

[Big_M]

0-0 halftime

[Watchmen]

At the half, both fan bases can remain convinced that their team isn't going to win. Dreadful. 

[Cheeta]

What???

Gold Cup matches in Vancouver next summer??

[Corazon]

Does Vancouver know there’s a final being played tonight?

Absolutely shocking attendance.

Yeah.  Underwhelming. 

Life in TFC but wasn't really feeling it until the penalty but they showed a willingness.  That's something.  I guess.

Caps are too patient.  Take control of it.  A bit sharper and get it into 4th gear (or 5th or 6th) once in a while and I think we know where's this is going.

They won't do that. They play patient until they get desperate and then they just start hoofing it down  the field and hoping someone does something.

[dyslexic nam]

Raposo on for Ahmed.  Not sure I would have pulled the trigger on subbing Ahmed after just 45 minutes.  Wonder if he was feeling something and the sub was precautionary…? 

[Big_M]

halftime raposo in ahmed out

53' yellow laborda

[BearcatSA]

Great save by Boehmer!

[Cheeta]

Nice save.

Good eye on the pass.   Well, well, well.
