  1. First time I've watched Miami this season. They don't seem to be a very good team.
  2. DALLAS WINS AT HOME! DALLAS WINS AT HOME! Sort of. It was against the Bears. But still: DALLAS WINS AT HOME!
  3. Well, at least the Caps logo is doing okay in the standings: http://www.foxsports.com/soccer/gallery/mls-club-logos-ranking-092116
  4. I was impressed by Dak's performance. Zeke? Not so much. I thought the run game was more dangerous with Morris in there.
  5. I thought it was a peculiar move, too. I was surprised that the announcers didn't talk about it at the time.
  6. Kinda disappointed that the Ole Miss/Florida State game isn't on tv tonight. Opening season #11 vs opening season #4? You'd think one of the many local sports stations would pick it up.
  7. One goal in the past seven games. Remarkable.
  8. I looked for a World Cup Soccer thread but I couldn't find one so I'll ask here. The only chance Canada has now is to win on Tuesday, have Honduras lose to Mexico, and somehow make up the five goal +/- differential between them and Honduras. So if Canada was to win 3-0 and Honduras was to lose 3-0, Canada would be in the next round. Right?
  9. Joseph Conrad's "Victory" A guy tries to drift through life and the world without any attachments. Then he does a good deed and it comes back to bite him.
  10. Maybe last year was a bit of a good blip and the team is now playing at its real level?
  11. Maybe the Caps should sign Christine Sinclair or Sophie Schmidt?
  12. Something I don't understand. Toronto's payroll is about $22 million. Vancouver's payroll is about $6.5 million. http://blogs.denverpost.com/rapids/2016/05/19/mls-player-salaries-2016-released-major-league-soccer-players-union/27671/ Toronto's average attendance is about 27,000 per game. Vancouver's average attendance is about 22,000 per game. http://soccerstadiumdigest.com/2016-mls-attendance/ I'm assuming ticket prices are about the same. If so, and if Vancouver is just breaking even, then Toronto would seem to be losing about $16 million a year. On the other hand, if Toronto is breaking even, then Vancouver would seem to be making about $16 million a year. I wonder which it is? Or are there revenue streams available to Toronto that are not available to Vancouver?
  13. The surprising thing to me mentioned in the telecast was that Dallas is one of the lowest spending teams in the league and yet they're at the top. I guess a lot depends on good scouting. And, yeah, it was a pretty "meh" game.
  14. I missed the game yesterday. Was it an entertaining 0-0 draw or a yawner?
  15. Interviews with the players and more details can be found at the Caps' website, here for de Jong: http://www.whitecapsfc.com/post/2016/07/11/whitecaps-fc-sign-canadian-international-defender-marcel-de-jong and here for Edgar http://www.whitecapsfc.com/post/2016/07/11/whitecaps-fc-sign-canadian-international-defender-david-edgar
  16. Dear Mr. Robinson Sign a striker who can score goals. Thank-you. - A Whitecaps fan
  17. He had a very good game. I especially liked that run he made where he deked one player, did a sliding tackle through another player, and made a nice cross. One thing, though: every game he plays he seems to get a yellow card.
  18. Maybe it all evens out? As I recall, the Caps got a couple of undeserved penalty kicks early in the season. In any event, another good reason for Caps fans to make a lot of noise.
  19. Let's just forget about this one and move on.
  20. True. The Cowboys offensive line is considered by many to be one of the best in the league. If Elliott is as good as many predict, this could be quite a show. But the rookie still has to deliver. Should be fun to watch.
  21. But EE is under pressure himself. I've already read a few articles predicting he'll be rookie of the year. And if he doesn't get at least a 1000 yards rushing, some fans are going to be disappointed. A lot is being expected of the young guy.
  22. An encouraging win. When Toronto came back to tie it 2-2 I thought the Caps were going to lose. But they responded very well. Well done, boys! One thing though - the Caps are an undisciplined team. They lead the league in fouls committed. That type of play is going to get them into unnecessary yellow/red card trouble as it almost did today. They managed to deal with the sending off today but it just about cost them.
