g_bassi13 Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Horrible keeping by Gspurning there. 2 five-hole, and one under the arm. Reo-Cs was particularly weak. But Ill take the win, and a good effort by the Caps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Otis Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Huge win. Need to keep it up. Huge back to back coming up against Colorado Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdeath Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Damn, with all the craziness of this season they're actually very much alive. Just need to do the business against Colorado in their last two matches and they'll actually make it. Just insane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just need to do the business against Colorado in their last two matches and they'll actually make it. Just insane. They also have to pass San Jose, who are two points up on 'em. I am pretty amazed they're still in the race though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking mama Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 (edited) Woo-hoo! They live to fight for a coveted play-off spot...yet another day! They've bested their nemisis in Seattle ...like they defeated the LA Galaxy earlier this year. There is hope after all...

Migz Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 They also have to pass San Jose, who are two points up on 'em. I am pretty amazed they're still in the race though. Theoretically, I think both LA and Colorado could be knocked out, having both us and San José go through. Not gonna happen though, obviously.

RUPERTKBD Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 That's Vancouver's first win in Seattle, is it not? That's right. Wileman and DeVos mentioned it a few times on the broadcast. Obviously a huge game from Manneh, but the 'Caps were over all very good. Demerit and Watson looked good at the back, especially at 3-1 and the Sounders pressing....Daigo was as good as he's ever been since he got to Vancouver and despite not scoring, Camilo was great yet again. I agree with g_bassi; Seattle's 'keeping was atrocious, but I think that the 'Caps deserved the win based on the run of play anyway. If they can put two more matches like this together against Colorado they'll be in pretty good shape. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegodcreation Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Surprise surprise, Kobayashi was put in his most natural position and he plays his best game in a Whitecaps shirt. Sad that it took 31 games for Rennie to figure this out. Also, can we please get rid of Mitchell? I get that he has good aerial ability, but his positioning and decision making is beyond terrible, and the amount of times he has given the ball away this season... well I lost count already. Bring O'Brien back to the starting 11 please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring O'Brien back to the starting 11 please. You may get your wish, I believe with that yellow he got on Wednesday he's suspended for one game. We may need O'Brien to play some heavy minutes against the Rapids Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdeath Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Regardless of how the last 2 games go at least the season wasn't a total waste. Whitecaps won the Cascadia Cup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottish⑦Canuck Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 Can't see you guys making the playoffs. Too much has to go right for that to happen. Nice to see that you won something though... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

g_bassi13 Posted October 14, 2013 Share Posted October 14, 2013 A 3 team trophy, isn't it glorious? Well, we haven't won it in 6 years, and teams we beat were possibly the 2 best in the entire league this year. That, plus it's always fun to kick Seattle and Portland ass.

oh captain my captain Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 So the scenario for the last 2 games... A caps win gives them the tiebreaker over both teams (SJ and Colorado), so all the Caps need to get ahead of Colorado is a win and draw. A rapids win in either game eliminates Vancouver. The Earthquakes play the Galaxy (like a loss) and Dallas (unlikely a loss). Need some help from LA, otherwise they gotta win out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the way the Caps have been playing lately, but it's a tall order. I could see the Rapids employing the Italian national team strategy of packing the box and hoping for a draw. If I was Rennie, I'd see what the game looks like on Saturday and load up the front end in the 2nd half if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
