A winnable game even with the injuries AND a penalty and they still lose. God damn.

Christ, what a bunch of expansion scrubs.

More terrible defending from the Whitecaps

Great Nutrilite game going on right now. Sportsnet One and being streamed on sportsnet's website.

Awrighhhht, win a few in a row and hope some other teams start losing games in hand, I want to contend for a playoff spot by season's end. :D

Great goal. Another draw, though. Could live without draws in general.

One of the Portland games is on TSN2 as well. This is the crappy part about being on a national network like TSN.

Nothing else matters when the Canucks are in the final.

What a talent gap in the RSL game.

This is one thing soccer has wrong, you should be able to at least have a hearing or contest red cards. If league officials agree to the call, fine, but giving a ref the ability to suspend players is just stupid.

They drew Chivas, but I see Hassli has another red. What happened with that?

I was actually wondering at what point he was gonna canned. The Whitecaps players seem like they should score more goals than they do and stop more goals than they do. There's been times where team fitness gave out on them. They've got two wins worth of draws, they should be able to convert more wins. If the incoming coach doesn't succeed, then I'd start looking more at the team makeup.

Ugh, second leg of the Nutrilite is only on SN1 because of the Memorial Cup. I hope next season (and maybe even this one) that the scheduling gets adjusted so that the final game of an important tournament actually gets shown on basic cable.

Couldn't care less about an exhibition game against a european team, even if it is an EPL regular.

How often during the season do these call-ups happen and/or about how many games should we expect players worthy of a national team call-up to miss?

Nutrilite Leg One is on Sportsnet (WOO) and Leg Two is on Sportnets One. (BAH) this year, according to the offical website. Both Legs of the final are on Sportsnet One. Whitecaps are going to be getting a lot of radio play this year...

Something I've been trying to get straight about all these extra tournaments and such: The way I understand it, qualifying for the CONCACAF Champions League through MLS is available only for US teams, while the Canadian teams qualify through a seperate Canadian Championship tournament, and only the winner gets in. There's also a few more teams that can qualify for Superliga, but they can't play in both the Champions and Superliga in the same year. So, hypothetical situation from the far-flung future: Whitecaps win the MLS Cup against the Montreal Impact. TFC is the worst team in MLS, except earlier in the season, TFC got some good luck and good play and manage to win the Nutrilite. So, in this situation: 1) Neither Whitecaps nor Montreal qualify for the Champions League even though they were the playoff winner and runner up. 2) TFC is in the Champions League with a far inferior team 3) Both Whitecaps and Montreal qualify for Superliga. 4) Two or more Canadian teams can't qualify for the Champions League but they can qualify for Superliga. Under the current system in that situation, would all this be correct?
