Whitecaps vs TFC - Nutrilite Final

[Luch]

Team 1410 and Tweets say match may be replayed at 7am PST if it's called off. Stay tuned.

Stupid considering the Caps were 30 minutes away from winning the cup, and now are essentially behind again since their goal is erased. Typical CSA bull, and of course it happens to favour a team from TO.

Latest tweet says lights at BMO must be turned of by 11:30pm... just like William Griffin .

Hey IS -

first off - love your avatar - but it should say four to go!
But not sure what else the CSA can do about this? Not sure I see a TO conspiracy either.

what I'm really wondering is whether Canadian soccer is totally cursed? A national final with two tier one clubs and it turns into a joke... honestly I don't know anymore - or probably never did.

It's off. Tweet from Canada Soccer.

I don't like the replay call. Start the game with same players on the pitch from the time it was called. Seems quite simple really and the ONLY fair way to do this.

On a side note, what in the world was Nolly doing on that cross he was forced to save off the line on the other side. Brutal. He was scary tonight.

Dobson is on saying it's off. Being a huge Toronto Homer, he's probably pretty happy about that.

Team 1410 just reported... 11am kickoff tomorrow, if field is playable.

This rule is total BS... ONLY IN CANADA the game is abandoned. If Toronto or Vancouver have to play in Honduras or Guatemala in the same conditions, they would play the game no matter what (they will wait for a period of time of course), and if the rain does not stop they will continue the game. Ohhh yeah if the home team (Honduras or Guatemala) is winning, they will NEVER ACCEPT to erase a goal.

No wonder Concacaf wants NOTHING with the CSA.

It would say 4 but I've had a nice bout of food poisoning so I haven't been to keen to change it. Definitely no TO conspiracy, it was in the rules of how the game would be replayed and the field is most definitely unplayable. I was just pissed that it favours TO as opposed to Vancouver.

11am Est and 8am Pacific, so there's no confusion on top of the confusion.

What a joke, Granville street was ready to go off!

Rumor has it Nash won't be at the game and may not even watch it as he has to wash his car and cut his lawn at that time.

Yes. Anyone hear yet if it's going to be televised?

thanks Regs, enjoyed that one

Just read that the match will not be on the telly. Apparently there is a Poker After Dark In The Morning episode that must air on all 18 SN channels.

Game has been rescheduled for June 2nd @ BMO - I think this is 3 days after the Caps play TFC in a league game... and 1 day after Canada plays there as a warm-up for the Gold Cup.

So no Dunfield or Deguzman in the replay.

Nix that - game is July 2nd, not June 2nd...

Diabolical.

Rules are rules and I get that, and I do know there was a lot of grandstanding by both managers.

WFC have been VERY unlcuky in this tournament, with this, and Limpact essentially giving the Title to Twat FC a year ago...

what a farce.

funny tweets going around though:
#NCCconspiracies is the hashtag you'll want to search... here's a few gems:
D6MERIT: Confused as tears, rain brings emotional ref to cancel the match due to the "Fair Play Act"
WesleyTKnight: Toronto pleads for July 2nd reschedule date in hopes of increasing franchise low fan support...#emptystands
evilbert86: winters plan for July 2. Pull team in 85th minute for fear of spontaneous combustion
D6MERIT: Nervousness ensues from TFC as @D6MERIT offers to soak up the field with his beard
RudiSchuller: Aron Winter hid the BMO Field shopvac and didn't "attack the rain" (that is still falling in Toronto)
the11ca: On July 2nd, there is no TV conflict with any curling or U-12 hockey championships!
cjmuzyka: @D6MERIT had Maicon Santos in his pocket all game, clearly unfair
krisverri: Plata had a show at the ventriloquists club downtown that he couldn't be late for
TFCPics: Whitecaps at Pearson right now: CSA and TFC demanding a rain delay
mikepower83: CSA and TFC Officials concerned that Plata may drown at midfield, while standing
RudiSchuller: CSA Appalled at lack of Canadians on Vancouver's Canadian Championship roster, reschedules to Canada Day wknd for balance

Some are suggesting TFC score an own goal at the start of the replay. Classy if they did that, but we are talking about TFC here.
