  1. I'm still a bit confused about it all. The Whitecaps twitter account posted a series of tweets quoting Carl Robinson saying he flew to Mexico to talk with Camilo and see where he's at, but there was no mentioning of the reports that have been made about Camilo being sold already. I don't see him coming back to Vancouver after all of this, but it would be nice if the Whitecaps organization officially announced something.
  2. I don't think $1.5 million is enough. There's no official statement from the Whitecaps or MLS but Dan Murphy retweeted this: Tyler Green ‏@tylergreenFC2h Paty Fernandez of ESPN reporting Camilo Sanvezzo's move to Queretaro is done. #MLS #VWFC #LigaMX Retweeted by Dan Murphy Tyler Green ‏@tylergreenFC 2h #WhitecapsFC will receive $1.5 million for Camilo from Queretaro according to reports. Tyler Green ‏@tylergreenFC1h Darren Mattocks must be the happiest #WhitecapsFC player right. No one is talking about his stupid comments anymore. Everyone hates Camilo
  3. I disagree. I think you sign Camilo at all costs. He was our MVP, and the MLS golden boot winner. You don't just let that type of player walk, unless it is absolutely impossible to sign him. And as long as Vancouver is playing on artificial turf, they will struggle to sign a DP from Europe or anywhere outside North America. Mattocks is severely over rated, Miller is aging, Salgado hasn't proven anything except to be injury prone, and Clarke hasn't even played in the MLS yet. Manneh and Hurtado are the only forwards who are somewhat reliable, and last season they both struggled with consistency. Without Camilo the Caps will be one of the lowest scoring teams in the league, and it would be a miracle to make the play offs. I love the 'Caps and I'll be supporting them 100% no matter what happens in the off season, but if Camilo leaves, the 2014 season does not look good.
  4. Murph retweeted this today. Lenarduzzi better get Camilo signed for a new deal pretty quickly. Camilo was a huge reason the Caps didn't finish a lot lower in the standings than they actually did last season. Paul Chapman ‏@PaulC141h Despite legal letters, threats, venting of anger from #Whitecaps, Camillo training with Mexican team. Slaps in the face getting stronger Retweeted by Dan Murph
  5. Solid game by everyone tonight, really needed a performance like that. Hopefully Canada can do the same in their qualifiers and the Caps can carry they're momentum into the Portland game.
  6. I'm a Robson fan, the guy has talent and he's a hard worker, but sometimes I shake my head at his demands/complains/etc. Great 1st half for Van! Had the majority of possession and they're looking deadly. Love Richards' speed, great finish too. Koffie's shot was perfect, and hopefully Miller is just taking extra precautions. a third hamstring injury would be a big blow.
  7. Hopefully this is all just rumours, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's true. Robson has been really demanding, almost as if he is acting as captain. Jay is no doubt the leader of this team, but Robson seems to take things too far sometimes when he's yelling at his team mates or complaining to the officials.
  8. Again, not a fan of Rennie's starting line up selection. Thorrington in for Camilo? That should be an obvious choice... Brazil > South Africa. I'm not a huge fan of O'Brien either, I prefer Bonjour quite a bit more. Is there any word on the extent of the injuries to Mattocks and Thorrington?
  9. Another frustrating game. Didn't like Rennie's exclusion of Mattocks from the starting 11. Didn't like Rennie subbing out Robson for Watson. It's a 0-0 game, most important match of the season, and you want to start packing the box and playing D? That's a joke. It just doesn't seem like the team is gelling right now, there have been so many bad passes/decisions with the ball and we hand back possession to the opponent. I hope they can get out of this slump, if that's what you call it, at home now. They can't afford to lose anymore games.
  10. Anyone watch El Clasico today? Hala Madrid! Great game for the whites. I posted the link to the match highlights. Ridiculous skill from Cristiano to play the ball to himself on his goal, and a perfect free kick from Messi. I really hope there is a Real Mardid/Barca Champions League final. Match highlights: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SxRDM7DP758
  11. As much as Robson can rub people the wrong way, he is solid. He controls the midfield really well with Koffie. I would love to see him stop barking at all his team mates though, doing that all game isn't going to accomplish much. I'm in the same boat as you right now, I'm not a fan of the mid season overhaul, but I think the team just needs to build a bit of chemistry.
  12. Boundary Road is pretty good, but nobody really knows it aside the from the Southsiders.
  13. So we should have kept paying Hassli the big bucks, to sit on the bench? When he did start the games he could barely finish them. Great talent obviously, but not worth the money we were paying him. Wait to judge all the new players until the end of the season. There is still plenty of time for them to prove you wrong.
  14. Do we really want Dallas to win that game, or do we want LA to win? I think it would be better if LA won, we then are only 3 points back of them, and Dallas is still 5 points back. I'd feel safer being 5 points up on 6th and 3 points back on 4th than being tied for 4th and having Dallas only 2 points back.
  15. I think that's a bit pre mature. We're still in a play off position. And it's tough to have chemistry when all of our players have been getting injured or suspended lately. I want to see Ulisses in the Caps uniform. Anybody know what the deal is there?
  16. No game is a guaranteed win in professional sports...
  17. Mattocks is a rookie, give him time. And keep in mind he's our leading scorer. Hassli was being paid far too much to sit on the bench. Not sure how you can say he sh*t the bed, the team started attacking a lot more when he came into the game. His red card was the most ridiculous thing I've ever seen, and I watch a lot of soccer. Not deserving at all. MLS really needs to look into some new officials because again, they displayed some poor quality officiating.
  18. Another suspension. Koffie banned one match for "endangering his opponent." I can't recall anything that was worth a suspension, did anybody else? Maybe there's a highlight of it or something but I can't find it. Hopefully the team can pull out a much needed W without him. http://www.whitecapsfc.com/news/2012/08/whitecaps-fc-midfielder-gershon-koffie-suspended-mls-disciplinary-committee
  19. Did anybody see any of the DC vs. PHI game today? The officiating was absolutely terrible. Check out the highlights if you didn't see them already. There has been a few games this season for the Caps where they have had poor officiating. The MLS has some of the worst officiating I've ever seen in any league. What do you guys think about the MLS officials?
  20. Huge win for the Caps! O'Brien looked solid for the most part, and it's about time Camilo had a break through game, he's had some bad luck for a few games now. I wasn't able to see Miller get subbed on, I had to leave for work, but I heard he created a couple of chances, can anyone fill me in on how he's doing?
  21. Not sure where O'Brien fits in here. Jay and Bonjour have been solid together all season, not sure why Rennie wants to break them up. I was hoping for a holding midfielder or something along those lines to be our next signing. But, you can never have enough depth I guess.
  22. I wouldn't look at it as a bad thing. He will be defending some of the best forwards/midfielders in the world (Torres, Meireles, Hazard, and Mata are all top quality players). Great practice and an even better experience.
  23. Yeah, that's true. They will need Ronaldo to step up, he didn't do too much in qualifying.

  24. Yeah. Think Portugal can go all the way? Tough group, but they have a good team, they could go far.
