2008 Whitecaps Men Results

[Regs]

For those keeping track at home, the latest Whitecaps result:

Caps 1
Rhinos 0

Who needs Bob Lilley?

Seriously though, is the style noticeably more attacking oriented and they just are not finishing or what?

It looked like no finish from what I can remember, so like the first 20 minutes

The game was played almost exclusively in the Rhinos end of the park...

The Rhinos keeper wasn't tested enough imho...that being said he made a few exceptional stops to keep it at 1-0.

The goal that Sebrango scored was a broken play/poor clearance/fortuitous bounce that he slotted home after his mark left him.

Vallow is one of the best keepers in the USL if not the best.

The game was exciting though.

And Stallion was gooned, explaining why he only remembers the first 20 minutes.

They are creating a lot of great chances but they all to often do not result in good shots on goal. a few went high and wide, a few were blocked by last ditch defending...The ball is still being crossed in high needlessly when it could be driven back out to the peno spot or cut back across the face of goal a few feet high in the air.

For the first game I actually remember, the game was played in the Sounders end almost all 90, they had 2 shots, maybe 3 and win 2-0. Finishing a big problem for the Whitecaps right now as they are creating a ton of chances. So far I think the Southside has only seen 1 goal all year. From what I remember. Was that PNE running the lines on the west side of the field?

Honestly, it was rubbish...........I spent about 45 minutes of my life watching it on Fox Sports........

I was even more desperate. I watched the whole nightmare on FSC. And they wonder why I gave up my season's tickets after the championship year.

It started with Lilley and his 5 men in the back when he went a goal up. Now it is a fire drill on the back line. Lyle Martin was shocking.

I am reluctant to pay money to watch average VMSL players play. Sorry.

 

[PNE]

Yes that was me , Stallion. Did I look good ?

Probably the best net checker I've ever seen

"Give us a tug!!!"

Honestly, I told IT21, KJ, and Wolfgang we were going to get pumped a few minutes in, and sure enough by the 7th minute it was 2-0.

Possession was all Caps, but shocking at the back when they needed to be at least decent, and no finish...

 

[PNE]

I guess I must be a good tugger !

 

[knvb]

I've been calling you a wanker for years, so it's good to know I was close.

 

[PNE]

Wanker is a common expression in England but it's very rarely used over here.
It's so long since someone called me that,I almost take it as a compliment !

 

[utah]

Ialways thought of him as more of a tosser.

Jordan rolls into old form after considering retirement

JJ is back staring along side Sebrango...Addlery goes to the bench.

In other news the Women Whitecaps are retiring Andrea Neil's number in a ceremony pre game before the double header on Saturday.

When does PNE retire?



How much are Tix these days?

 

[johnnybluenose]

Who knows, he was lining the last home game
Tix are cheap, especially if you get the cheapest ones you can buy ($11 i think) and stand by the beer in the south end.

Yeah, I don't think the wife would be impressed taking a 2 & 1 year old to stand by the beer

You never know. Plus it's easier to beg for forgiveness than ask permission
