Caps deserved that victory. Clearly the better side last night, even though RSL improved in the 2nd half.

Both the strikes by Koffie and Morales were first class, but Vancouver has to start burying their opportunities. They really should have been up 3-1 going into the break...

Man, if leaving the tying goal until the 80th minute (off a penalty no doubt) isn't drama I don't know what is.

EDIT: and of course Montreal scores as I post that.

My heart would appreciate that they stopped doing this...

Edit:

Good work by Mattocks though to chase that ball down to make that play happen.

Edit 2: Are you f-ing kidding?

Manneh has overall disappointed me this season =S.

I wish Robinson would find a lineup and stick with it..it changes like the weather.

Whatever happened to playing your best players..not on this team..I have a horrible feeling he will be playing all the subs in the concacaf tourney.

I've been saying this for their entire existence, other than injuries or suspensions, why do these managers change the lineup each and every game????

I dont get it at all..constant change in the lineup..I think Robo must be afraid of upsetting players about playing time...just play the best players..always and sub when needed with injury or late in the game...it bothers me the way playing time is handed out on this team.

He goes into the concacaf games and Canadian championships with a team full of subs every time.

If it was just one game a week, then sure, apart from minor changes. But with two games a week you want to space out the play a bit more, especially if you have older players who could rest and young players who need more time. Is it too many changes though? It certainly worked putting in Koffie last weekend.

Yep. Every time.

It seems to me that he views them as unimportant, or at least not as important as having his top guys rested for the next MLS game. Even yesterday, the A team wasn't out onto the field until about the 75th minute.

We'll see what happens on the return leg, but I wouldn't hold my breath.
