2014 Vancouver Whitecaps

[RL RCD]

The only thing is, you must have a guy that knows how to coach skill.

If Hurtado was 13 or 14 I'd maybe accept your logic but no one learns at 24 how to control the ball. Too late for that.

He may be one of those numerous speedy and physically strong guys who were unlucky to have bad coaches when they were younger. A lot of coaches abuse that natural speed and physical ability, set up a very defensive style of play, kick the ball down the field and let that big, strong, and speedy forward running after the ball all 90 minutes; he ends up having 6,7 breakaways per game, ends up scoring a goal or two, sometimes maybe three and people who pay attention only to stats get fooled.

No one works with that guy (at younger age) on improving the part of the game that he is not good at. See, that works while in youth and even you can play for some university/college teams like that. But, in any pro league (even semi-pro) that is not going to work. He will, of course, score a goal, here and there, but he will be exposed for his lack of skill.

With the Whitecaps needing a striker and Chivas USA no more, we should try and sign Torres, he has scored goals with a poor team, he would be great for the amount of chances the Whitecaps create.

 

[dezza]

I would be shocked if Cubo Torres does not go back to Chivas Guadalajara who actually own him. He's just been on loan in MLS....

 

[TulioMaravilha]

Wonder if that new striker is named Camillo...

Well...

Player of the Week: Camilo Sanvezzo, Queretaro
On Friday, Camilo Sanvezzo netted two goals and recorded an assist for Queretaro to life Los Gallos Blancos over Liga MX leaders Club America, 3-2. Sanvezzo got the scoring underway in the 25th minute of the match, but it was his second goal that was the real difference-maker.

Three minutes into stoppage time, Sanvezzo scored his second goal of the match, a game-winner.

Sanvezzo tapped the ball into the back of the net from the left side of the box.

With his two goals in Week 14, Sanvezzo is now the leading goal scorer in Liga MX with 10. Dorlan Pabon of Monterrey and Mauro Boselli of Leon each have nine goals through 14 weeks.

I don't know Camillo is good but he can't run like Mattocks and Hurtado . Speed is the most important attribute of a modern footballer.

 

[STD]

I thought we had moved on from Camilo and we were talking about playoffs. Win tonight and we get the Sounders on Sunday.

 

[Mr Base]

Bulljivi they run around like retards but can not score a goal for the life of them . It might be modern soccer but you still need guys like Camilo with a ability to score at will.
Since Waston came team took off, he is the one of the slowest guys on the team. One must understand the game it does not matter how fast you are. As you know all the ladies like slower guys.
You make me laugh with all the moderno rapido rapido . What the heck this is not Rabbit will.

Fcuk is Devos irritating

 

[cascadesoccer]

Horrible fcuking call on that pk. Absolute shite!!!!

 

[mtkb]

Who is the idiot color man? That's a travesty of a penalty cap, pretty much textbook ball playing hand... moreover, any doubt in that situation and you choose to not decide the match, that's elementary game management... that guy was at the WC? Garbage...

 

[Mr Base]

Cascade American ref loves his own. He forgot to read the rule. Waston was tring to move his hand out of the way. There for it's ball to hand. Ref fu-ked up totally. That's the way when you play in MLS in stead of CNSL. Akslop stop bleading and don't use dad for dirty work. Hurtado scored a goal. You still think it's late. What the heck do you want, Hurtado is got hand full of balls and loves to play ball and he is fast and strong. But with ref like that move on. Calgary, Edmonton, Hamilton and Ottawa all we need to call it our own. Vancouver Toronto and Montreal would be there.
Baba will go nuts after this game. If that call was in Columbia ref would have move to Greenland.

 

[TheRob]

So ashamed.

Who is the idiot color man?

Never heard of him

 

[Mr Base]

DeVos is nothing more than a anal bag. He was horrible as a player even worse as a TV man. Any time you speak against your own you should not be doing the job. Negative pile of crapollo. With guys like Demerit and others what the heck. We need positive people to build the game not sum useless guys to find the negative angles. Good thing Canucks are playing well.

Was just saying the same, how do you make that call. One he tries to stick his chest out to block the ball. two not that it matters but not even the resemblance of a scoring opportunity. Such and easy game Management non-call, ball to hand by an experienced ref. let the players decided the game.

 

[Dude]

OK, so take off the WCFC glasses.

If the situation were reversed, same play on a Dallas player, in the box, 5 minutes left in a tie match, and the ref DIDN'T make the call, you'd all be screaming that he was a pussy.

He was in a no-win position. He was right there, saw the contact at game speed (we get to see it in slow motion), and had the balls to make the call. It's debatable if it was clear balll-to-hand. It's a grey area. What about all those times the ball takes a bounce off the turf and smacks into the player's hand while running. Are those now not hand balls? How about chesting it down while you turn, and the ball rolls down part of your arm? Not a hand ball now?

Fcuking come on...it was a hand ball. The ref had to make a discretionary, difficult call where he would have been vilified either way. He can't even turn a blind eye and say he didn't see it, he was right fcuking there.

Not the ref's fault Fernandez, who arguably has the most powerful shot on the team, chose not to shoot twice in the 1st 20 minutes when we had a clear look at the net. Not the ref's fault Morales had a mare in the middle and gave away the ball to Dallas on about 15 occasions. Not the refs fault we couldn't generate an attack if our lives depended on it. The ref called the play by the book, now he's taking heat, and I think he's taking an unjustifiable amount of heat.

 

[Dude]

Also, I'd like to see any of you in that situation. You have a split second to make that decision. Waston had a wonderful impact on this team, but in this case, sorry boys, he didn't do enough to ensure his arm was out of the path. It's a shitty rule, shitty situation, but it was by the book.
