Melena Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 They are able to play well. They have already shown. They must do it quicly if they do not finish last... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_time_hockey Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Caps are going to have to manage the bench carefully in Wednesdays match vs. TFC given they have the rained out 2nd leg of the NCC on the 2nd... Personally I would be tempted to rest/not start Hasli, Camilo, etc for the league game to go in with fresh troops on the Saturday match. Would much rather stick it to TFC to take the Voyageurs Cup.

Donky Posted July 2, 2011 Share Posted July 2, 2011 You'd think this was an expansion team the way they're playing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Man...rough start for a franchise. Do we need better talent? Better scouts? Then again the old NASL Whitecaps went 5-11 it's first year. .500 in year two, and made the playoffs in year 3. And of course won the Soccer Bowl (cringe at that name) in 1979.

old_time_hockey Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Joe Cannon was doing his best Cloutier impression. PUT NOLLY BACK IN!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafsBlowPouch Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Still hate to blame it on being unlucky, but a lot of it still is. They tie or lose every game by 1 goal. When's it going to turn around? They always seem to have enough chances to put 2 or 3 away and never do. :S Going to the match tomorrow. Go Caps! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
b3. Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Frick Dunfield... Weakest penalty ever. I would have let Camillo or Salgado take that.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toxic Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Frick Dunfield... Weakest penalty ever. I would have let Camillo or Salgado take that.. Salgado had been sub'd out at the time IIRC We seem completely unable to make the tape-to-tape passes (so to speak, no tape in soccer...), when we push forward every pass is overshot the forward by 15+ yards. Nobody in the middle settling us down and orchestrating the play. The absence of chiumiento hurts us for sure as did Jay's and Eric's absences, but if we fold everytime a forward, mid, or defender is out we'll never be competitive. Someone has to step up. I like Khalfan a lot, i HATE Koffie Salgado played well i thought. People keep talking about how well Ngabe is playing, but imagine how good Omar is going to be in 4 years when he's the same age as Ngabe is right now. Of course he probably wont be with us by then, some european club will lure him away :'( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knucklepuckin Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 A winnable game even with the injuries AND a penalty and they still lose. God damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck_4_Life Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 You know who has a bomb of a shot? Alain Rochat. An unconventional choice, but I could've done better than Dunfield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kw11333 Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 You have two guys being payed to score goals, and you don't use either?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canuck_4_Life Posted July 7, 2011 Share Posted July 7, 2011 Who would those two be? The Whitecaps 4 main strikers to start the season: Hassli (injured), Harris (injured - out indefinitely), Camilo (moved to midfield) and Salgado Long Tan? Please tell me you aren't expecting guys like Shea Salinas and Terry Dunfield to score a lot, are you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We dont expect dunfiled to launch bombs for the box but we are expecting him to score on a penalty kick in freakin crunch time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tenacious Posted July 7, 2011 Author Share Posted July 7, 2011 Wasn't home yesterday and just got around to catching the highlights... this team just can't catch a break. It's actually getting ridiculous and I can only imagine how the players feel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
