elvis15 Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Yeah, tuned in for the second half and wondered if they were going to pull it out. Actually, they shouldn't have if it weren't for Richey. Big save on the PK and right at the end. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the last few minutes of the match and got nervous since the Impact had so much pressure on the ball and held possession late while we were playing desperation and clearing the ball whenever they got the ball into the box. Nevertheless, they got the job done and even though we surrendered a away goal, I think they can get the job done especially beating Montreal in league play earlier in the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coastal.view Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 read about the game yesterday seems like the caps have straightened out some problems and are playing with more focus and direction good to see they have a fairly talented team this year the kids appears to be a bit of a phenom looking forward to seeing the new striker as well when he is healthy and our injured new mid fielder will soon be with the team again they could go on a run Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lancaster Posted May 24, 2017 Share Posted May 24, 2017 Went both the games on Saturday and on Tuesday. It's so exciting to watch Davies with the ball. He's very thin, so he appears small, then suddenly he just walks around defenders because his limbs are so long, catching them unprepared. He's got a good head on his shoulders, he doesn't really seem to fake or dive like many others in soccer. He just gets up and get/give a little tap to the opposing player and move on. None of those flopping and acting like someone who just got shot and then suddenly getting up yelling at each other while nose-to-nose, all those hand gestures, etc. Just think about it... in another year or two when he's like 18... he'll finally start maturing physically. Imagine his running going a little quicker, his shots being harder and him having strength to just push players away to create space. Alphonso will be a gem.... I don't know will he be EPL good, but while I (and probably lots of Caps fans) wishes that he becomes a star and the face of the Whitecaps, I kind of want him to be purchased by a Euro league to maximize his development (and for the team to cash a huge cheque). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted May 28, 2017 Share Posted May 28, 2017 Figures. They beat the best team in the West last week and lose to the worst team in the East this week. Yep, the ref got suckered on that first penalty. But the soccer gods gave the Caps a chance to tie it and somehow they missed their third straight penalty kick. Meh. Weird game. Put it behind them and look forward to Montreal on Tuesday and Atlanta next Saturday. Could be two entertaining games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about tough luck. Techera hit it twice including the penalty attempt. We deserved a draw at the very least yesterday. Oh well have to scrap it and move on to the next one.

Goals has dried up a bit in recent years... but then again the competition level in the MLS is much lower than in Italy, he could probably still be dynamic. At age 40, the travel and the artificial turf in Vancouver..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elvis15 Posted May 30, 2017 Share Posted May 30, 2017 Doesn't help us now, and it's not punishment enough after he had just been fined from the previous week for giving to stop him from doing it again, but it's something. On to tonight though, with the Caps taking on Montreal again. They advance of the get any win or draw, or if they score at least two and only lose by one. It'll go to extra time if it's a 2-1 for Montreal score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he'll probably keep his nose clean for a while and the MLS will wipe the slate clean the next time it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
