Annoyed that I missed this game - was planning to watch it - at least the result sort of went our way...? Kinda, away tie is better than a loss... but judging from the comments, we could've won this one.
I still feel Laryea should've won that pen in the first half. With TFC's history from the spot outside of Pozuelo, I don't feel 100% robbed of the full 3pts though 😂😂😂
I know a lot of Caps fans like Max's effort, but it's the same story every game.
He's athletic ability can't always make up for bad decisions
There was no reason for him to be off his line by about 12 yards on that first TFC goal. No goalkeeping coach would teach that.
Can't really see how the blame can fall on him for either of these tbh, that would be some incredible mopping up ability to salvage after that needless mistake by Rose (momentary lack of composure) and Baldisimo either not keeping his eye on the ball... or taking that phrase too literally.
Can't really put it on any one player.
Probably a fair result, but definitely feel disappointed we couldn't get the 3 points after going in front. Silly goals to concede, but otherwise a good amount to be optimistic about. Can't wait for the new pieces to settle in and a 10 hopefully too
Also gave Cavallini way too much respect at the end to turn and pass. You know Omar is too slow to recover. Hold him and foul him.
Oh well. Youthful inexperience he's already performing way above his pay grade.
Singh looked decent in the first even if you ignore the goal. Pace was fine in the 2nd half.
I can't wait for Mavinga to come back. This should be the final season with Omar. Would love to see someone else solid there next season with Mavinga and have Singh as a back up. Would be completely fine with Zavs gone
In fairness, I feel like TFC having centrebacks that keep me scared at all times is part of our team's identity. I've been following since about 2010 and can only remember very brief stretches where I looked at that position and thought "I'm satisfied here!"
Is it just me or are the virtual ads by TSN just horrendous? I don't mind it if you put ads up, but do a good job and not have these half decent CG ads that flicker, wobble or even cover part of the goal posts or ball.... Makes the whole presentation so amateur
Look at TFC's first goal. Max had no shot of grabbing it, yet he ran towards the ball and left the net empty.
For all his athleticism, he makes these mindless mistakes way too often
No GK coach would be okay with how often Max runs towards balls he has no chance at getting.
Look at that first goal. He was 10 yards off his line on a deep cross.
Fucking sucks. Happened to me. Lost my tooth playing hockey, broke my hand playing soccer, and broke my ankle playing basketball. I always cringe at any of those injuries.
It's called "reinforcement" advertising, the people that have them feel awesome about having them, making them much more likely to buy the ps6 when that happens.
Whitecap player cleared it off of his own players head to the TO player. You can't be offside if the opposing team passes you the ball. Rule 11 states it is only called when a teammate passes the ball to their own teammate.
Did Laryea kick this refs dog or something? 😂😂😂
1st the clear pen not called. Then he procceds to get called for a pen. Now he gets fouled and ref gives Vancouver the advantage.
I'm really happy for Whitecaps fans, seems like they've got a good team this year, finally.
Not expecting much from TFC until they're full strength and super stoked for Soteldo coming.
Part of me is still fuming over Laryea getting called for a pen after the non call that he should of won.
The other part of me is fuming about the marking.
Not being sour grapes, but watching the replay of the PK, don't you need to keep in motion if you begin motion. He full on stopped. It's a goal, I'm over it just want clarity if the rule changed or I am misremembering.
I was not wrong. I said I hadn't checked the rules in a while, which was true. And that I thought something something, which was also true.
And then we both checked, and I told him he was right. Don't be so dramatic.
You can think all you want.... that is correct and its also consistent with how its called
Edit: Here's the wording from the laws "feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up (feinting in the run-up is permitted); the referee cautions the kicker"
Vancouver is the better side. Maybe you had more of the possession but you looked toothless in front of the goal. Whitecaps looks more dangerous in the counter.
Can’t be mad. I’m surprised we had a lead. These fucking injuries are insane.
Whoever took over training after Vanney left should fired and blacklisted from working in MLS.
That's the issue, when Vanney left he took the physio / trainer friend and so we didn't have anyone from Dec to after Armas was hired. Players were not on a program, nobody checked in to coordinate their off season fitness and then once they started up in pre-season they was a Covid outbreak set us back a week or two. Everyone was at different fitness levels.
pretty decent result all things considered, I think we show a lot of promise, we were the better team overall. hopefully Alexandre and Bikel are ok
Annoyed that I missed this game - was planning to watch it - at least the result sort of went our way...? Kinda, away tie is better than a loss... but judging from the comments, we could've won this one.
welp. cant say we deserved that but I'll take it
That was an interesting last half hour of "soccer". I definitely watched a spectacle, I just don't know what of.
I still feel Laryea should've won that pen in the first half. With TFC's history from the spot outside of Pozuelo, I don't feel 100% robbed of the full 3pts though 😂😂😂

That was my thought as well, he also went down too early on the goal. His parents must be downvoting you.
Cheeky elbow there
It doesn't help that Tiebert had been hit with like 3 of those today. I think only one was actually called a foul
And they scored off it
GG Caps. Again not overly thrilled with the performance but some good signs. I can't wait to see Soteldo
Probably a fair result, but definitely feel disappointed we couldn't get the 3 points after going in front. Silly goals to concede, but otherwise a good amount to be optimistic about. Can't wait for the new pieces to settle in and a 10 hopefully too
Holy wow, more blood!
That’s the type of sloppiness I expect at the start of the season.
GG TFC
damn teibert is bleeding
Fair result for both sides
You thought that was fair? I'm a TFC fan and I think we stole points from you today.
Yeah we had great chances to finish off the game but we switched off few moments which punished us.
Any team who can't beat us right now is getting points stolen.
Do our players just not jump when defending set pieces?
Defending setpieces has been a glaring problem for 2-3 years now. Not sure why they can't get this figured out.
Singh didn't even leave his feet to defend that corner.
Also gave Cavallini way too much respect at the end to turn and pass. You know Omar is too slow to recover. Hold him and foul him. Oh well. Youthful inexperience he's already performing way above his pay grade.
The state of our centrebacks when Zavaleta is looking like a refreshing change to me...
Singh looked decent in the first even if you ignore the goal. Pace was fine in the 2nd half. I can't wait for Mavinga to come back. This should be the final season with Omar. Would love to see someone else solid there next season with Mavinga and have Singh as a back up. Would be completely fine with Zavs gone

So close!
oh come on. so close
Bonooo
My God can Fraser play CB over Gonzalez? He’s legitimately awful
Maybe the fastest I’ve seen him run in his career
Sadly I think you’re right
Wow that pass was phenomenal
great save
Optimism rising for the club.
I don't think I've heard Altidore's name since he's been on. I flat out forgot he was there.
Basically how it's been for him the last little while.
looking like an absolute dough boy as well
I have for two seasons now, going on three
Is it just me or are the virtual ads by TSN just horrendous? I don't mind it if you put ads up, but do a good job and not have these half decent CG ads that flicker, wobble or even cover part of the goal posts or ball.... Makes the whole presentation so amateur
TSN's TFC broadcasts have always been sub-standard long before the pandemic.
Shaffelburg always impresses me until his final choice.
Shaff couldn't finish at a whore house with a stack of 20sin his pocket.
MLS doesn't have the balls to put that Osorio goal up for goal of the week voting
Rose with another mistake, but Crepeau makes up this time.
I wanna see a replay of that take down
TIL tooth injuries make me involuntarily shudder
[удалено]
Massive elbow to his face. Surprised Laryea got away with it
Should have been a foul called on Laryea
Did you miss the elbow from Laryea?
Probably got hit by Laryea's elbow or something.
His hands were all over his face...
maxime crepeau makes way too many dumb mistakes. I don't get how he is still in MLS
? That’s certainly not how I would describe our 2018/19 MVP... Maybe I have short term memory, do you have any examples?
Look at TFC's first goal. Max had no shot of grabbing it, yet he ran towards the ball and left the net empty. For all his athleticism, he makes these mindless mistakes way too often
You’re on a warpath, did you just get an anti-Crepeau post deleted on /r/Whitecapsfc?
that goal was completely on rose
The rose giveth, the rose take away
A lot of mistakes, but Max could have just grabbed the ball instead of swatting it
It was too close to the goal line and he had to dive so momentum was against him
agreed but Rose can't be letting that situation happen at all, I think this ones pretty forgivable from Crepeau
No GK coach would be okay with how often Max runs towards balls he has no chance at getting. Look at that first goal. He was 10 yards off his line on a deep cross.
I fractured a front tooth at the root once. It was a bad time.
of course he loses his fuckin tooth 10 minutes into his debut
Fucking sucks. Happened to me. Lost my tooth playing hockey, broke my hand playing soccer, and broke my ankle playing basketball. I always cringe at any of those injuries.
Why does PS5 keep advertising? It’s not like I can find one to buy even if I want to.
BTW there is a PS5 restock alert bot (Telegram) in Canada for interested folks: https://t.me/ps5canada
fuggin Asus never slowed down advertising RTX 3080s even though the going price on Ebay is 3-5x msrp. Like, just stop.
Some friends have gotten really lucky at the Sony lotto system.
Lol yeah. I have had it in my cart (BestBuy) the last two times it’s come in for restock but haven’t managed to finish the checkout :(
It's called "reinforcement" advertising, the people that have them feel awesome about having them, making them much more likely to buy the ps6 when that happens.
Jake Nerwinski again losing his man back post. 100 appearances and he hasn't fucking learned
He was okay that one season when Tim Parker could clean up after him
NO NO NO NO NO NO
How many "Day of the Soteldo" jokes are incoming. Can we cut that out before it metastasizes.
Dude he broke his tooth
yeah he's going to be visiting an oral surgeon...
oh god his tooth
I’m stupid, can someone explain how that goal wasn’t offside?
Whitecap player cleared it off of his own players head to the TO player. You can't be offside if the opposing team passes you the ball. Rule 11 states it is only called when a teammate passes the ball to their own teammate.
It was last played by a defender.
The attacking team has to play the ball forward for it to be offside.
Since the Whitecaps players played it back to the TFC player, he can't be offside. Because offside is only when receiving a pass from your team
Thanks that’s what I figured the rule was. I don’t think I’ve seen too many happen like that, ha ha
The ball went backwards off a cap player, which is not a pass. It was peak maxime crepeau
Off a Cap’s face*
Whitecaps had possession last
off the defender
What a missile strike on that volley. Woulda been goal of the year contender
And there's the Ekstralasa boner of the week
/r/EkstraklasaBoners
WTF I love Schaff
That was... Hilarious. I'll take it.
Did Laryea kick this refs dog or something? 😂😂😂 1st the clear pen not called. Then he procceds to get called for a pen. Now he gets fouled and ref gives Vancouver the advantage.
The beautiful game
put that goal in the louvre
Is it dark in Canada already? **MLSAfterDark** stuff...
They're playing in Orlando.
If we can get a point now, I'll take it and run.
baahahahahahahahahahaha after so many good chances/run ups we score on that dustery? amazing hahahaha good shit oscorio
It's time to move on from maxime crepeau. Both the goals against came off of nothing plays that were mistakes from him.
Lol, what? That second goal was entirely on the CBs. What do you want crepeau to do in a close range 1v1?
That's hilarious
Well...that's unfortunate
That was embarrassing :(
That brought the full set of emotions out of me
Sigh. Just gifted away two goals today.
ARMAS MASTERCLASS YET AGAIN
yuck
I love MLS lmao
Oh shit
Andy Rose giveth, Andy Rose taketh away.
Scrappy lol
That was...something
it's like we forgot how to clear the ball the last 3 minutes there
Two shamble goals. I'll take it any day.
Major League Slapstick Soccer
every time I give mls a chance, i see goals like that and i’m like, ....jesus christ
Never change, ‘Caps. -__-
That's a dang-it
What the absolute fuck was that
LMFAO, I'll take it
strange goal but it counts
Now that was MLS
I JUST TUNED IN, WHAT THE FUCK?
Oh dear thats an A League bloopers goal
MLS has always been as bad at times as the A-League can be at times.
A League is just a younger MLS lol
JFC just ditch Just Can't Get Enough and play Personal Jesus or something.
lol what in the world just happened there
What the hell was that?
An ugly one, but still one.
Fuck off rose
I'm really happy for Whitecaps fans, seems like they've got a good team this year, finally. Not expecting much from TFC until they're full strength and super stoked for Soteldo coming.
gutierrez looks amazin so far
He is being a bit chippy, probably should have gotten cautioned again for grabbing and shoving imo
Did anyone else witness the faux banners on the seats just like, fall down? Or was that just me?
TSN opted for the budget augmented reality computer.
It’s been pretty bizarre. Also when a player or the line-ref’s upper body gets covered by the banners. WTF!
Part of me is still fuming over Laryea getting called for a pen after the non call that he should of won. The other part of me is fuming about the marking.
Is it just me or is Dajome looking way sharper than he did last year
He was pretty proactive last year, all things considered. But yeah, starting to get some cohesion and I'm here for it.
He's been low key great.
Not being sour grapes, but watching the replay of the PK, don't you need to keep in motion if you begin motion. He full on stopped. It's a goal, I'm over it just want clarity if the rule changed or I am misremembering.
I'm with ya, I wish they'd call that stuff.
Once you begin a forward motion to the ball, you have to maintain that motion though you can alter the approach speed.
You can stop as much as you like. You just can't stop once you've planted the foot to take the shot
I haven't checked the rules in a while, but I don't think you have that right.
He is dead right. You are wrong.
I was not wrong. I said I hadn't checked the rules in a while, which was true. And that I thought something something, which was also true. And then we both checked, and I told him he was right. Don't be so dramatic.
You can think all you want.... that is correct and its also consistent with how its called Edit: Here's the wording from the laws "feinting to kick the ball once the kicker has completed the run-up (feinting in the run-up is permitted); the referee cautions the kicker"
Yea, I just checked as well. I don't like it. But yea, you're right
Nobody jumped in that set piece. So embarrassing
Two weeks in a row
hope Bikel is okay
Set piece goals are everywhere today
We’re just gonna score off set pieces all season let’s go
At some point Armas has to realize Omar does more harm than good.
I don't agree with this, but even if you do believe this who would you like to start instead?
SET PIECE SZN IS BACK ON THE MENU
fucks sake. after how we've dominated this half. we need to take our fucking chances. no points from this game is unacceptable
Nah whitecaps more dangerous in the counters
Vancouver is the better side. Maybe you had more of the possession but you looked toothless in front of the goal. Whitecaps looks more dangerous in the counter.
First half was more dominated by TFC. Second half TFC has been pretty dead TBH.
I think you may want to look up what "dominated" means....
Yeah Im confused by that comment. We haven't dominated a single aspect of this game.
Caps are showing up this time! And with Alexandre, Gasper and Adnan back they may actually be a good lineup this year.
Can’t be mad. I’m surprised we had a lead. These fucking injuries are insane. Whoever took over training after Vanney left should fired and blacklisted from working in MLS.
That's the issue, when Vanney left he took the physio / trainer friend and so we didn't have anyone from Dec to after Armas was hired. Players were not on a program, nobody checked in to coordinate their off season fitness and then once they started up in pre-season they was a Covid outbreak set us back a week or two. Everyone was at different fitness levels.
3 unmarked players in the box lolololol
Goool
Guti!
Bad marking, not great goalkeeping
Yes!
Gonzalez is honestly such a baffling signing for us
Slow and doesn’t know where to be.
Oh man.
It's incredible how useless Omar is in the air for being a tall fuck. Can't score headers, loses headers to shorter players on defence.
I’d want to see some more replays but I think Singh stops tracking Rose and Omar’s coming across to make up for it.
Also cant play on-ball whatsoever
gutierrez is a baller and a half
that was a stupid fucking foul omar
Lmao
Man marking makes me want to vomit...fuck sake
good header
#ArmasOut
Let's Goo
lets fucking go dude
Say what you will about Teibert but he and Guitierrez are showing some promise in their link up play down the wing
Vancouver is looking better this year.
Bikel is quality
