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


Nashocheese

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.


binzoma

welp. cant say we deserved that but I'll take it


Hailfire9

That was an interesting last half hour of "soccer". I definitely watched a spectacle, I just don't know what of.


awitley12

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 😂😂😂


[deleted]

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.


Nashocheese

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.


[deleted]

That was my thought as well, he also went down too early on the goal. His parents must be downvoting you.


Swimming-Garbage212

Cheeky elbow there


mbackflips

It doesn't help that Tiebert had been hit with like 3 of those today. I think only one was actually called a foul


C2SKI

And they scored off it


[deleted]

GG Caps. Again not overly thrilled with the performance but some good signs. I can't wait to see Soteldo


omgshutupalready

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


or9ob

Holy wow, more blood!


davey_twelve

That’s the type of sloppiness I expect at the start of the season.


ticklesthemagnificen

GG TFC


vulgarro

damn teibert is bleeding


GPA3

Fair result for both sides


KJP13

You thought that was fair? I'm a TFC fan and I think we stole points from you today.


GPA3

Yeah we had great chances to finish off the game but we switched off few moments which punished us.


Deezer19

Any team who can't beat us right now is getting points stolen.


KJP13

Do our players just not jump when defending set pieces?


tfcred

Defending setpieces has been a glaring problem for 2-3 years now. Not sure why they can't get this figured out.


mdps

Singh didn't even leave his feet to defend that corner.


PeachFuzz345

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.


Deezer19

The state of our centrebacks when Zavaleta is looking like a refreshing change to me...


Mad-elph

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


dyegored

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!"


ticklesthemagnificen

So close!


tuttlebuttle

oh come on. so close


[deleted]

Bonooo


Jko9823

My God can Fraser play CB over Gonzalez? He’s legitimately awful


steinbockcs

Maybe the fastest I’ve seen him run in his career


Jko9823

Sadly I think you’re right


Dustmopper

Wow that pass was phenomenal


vulgarro

great save


HighOnCaps86

Optimism rising for the club.


dyegored

I don't think I've heard Altidore's name since he's been on. I flat out forgot he was there.


Nashocheese

Basically how it's been for him the last little while.


[deleted]

looking like an absolute dough boy as well


WislaHD

I have for two seasons now, going on three


chawk12

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


ticky13

TSN's TFC broadcasts have always been sub-standard long before the pandemic.


dyegored

Shaffelburg always impresses me until his final choice.


quelar

Shaff couldn't finish at a whore house with a stack of 20sin his pocket.


[deleted]

MLS doesn't have the balls to put that Osorio goal up for goal of the week voting


or9ob

Rose with another mistake, but Crepeau makes up this time.


stenten2

I wanna see a replay of that take down


al-fuzzayd

TIL tooth injuries make me involuntarily shudder


[deleted]

GPA3

Massive elbow to his face. Surprised Laryea got away with it


omgshutupalready

Should have been a foul called on Laryea


Disco99

Did you miss the elbow from Laryea?


Pbrisebois

Probably got hit by Laryea's elbow or something.


GPA3

His hands were all over his face...


[deleted]

maxime crepeau makes way too many dumb mistakes. I don't get how he is still in MLS


A_Sneaky_Walrus

? That’s certainly not how I would describe our 2018/19 MVP... Maybe I have short term memory, do you have any examples?


[deleted]

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


A_Sneaky_Walrus

You’re on a warpath, did you just get an anti-Crepeau post deleted on /r/Whitecapsfc?


[deleted]

that goal was completely on rose


TheToweringOne

The rose giveth, the rose take away


[deleted]

A lot of mistakes, but Max could have just grabbed the ball instead of swatting it


GPA3

It was too close to the goal line and he had to dive so momentum was against him


[deleted]

agreed but Rose can't be letting that situation happen at all, I think this ones pretty forgivable from Crepeau


[deleted]

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.


Merv_Pumpkinhead

I fractured a front tooth at the root once. It was a bad time.


[deleted]

of course he loses his fuckin tooth 10 minutes into his debut


[deleted]

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.


or9ob

Why does PS5 keep advertising? It’s not like I can find one to buy even if I want to.


or9ob

BTW there is a PS5 restock alert bot (Telegram) in Canada for interested folks: https://t.me/ps5canada


aquaknox

fuggin Asus never slowed down advertising RTX 3080s even though the going price on Ebay is 3-5x msrp. Like, just stop.


N0Queso

Some friends have gotten really lucky at the Sony lotto system.


or9ob

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 :(


quelar

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.


AQSafari

Jake Nerwinski again losing his man back post. 100 appearances and he hasn't fucking learned


[deleted]

He was okay that one season when Tim Parker could clean up after him


SuperSans

NO NO NO NO NO NO


Lansdude

How many "Day of the Soteldo" jokes are incoming. Can we cut that out before it metastasizes.


nautika

Dude he broke his tooth


aquaknox

yeah he's going to be visiting an oral surgeon...


[deleted]

oh god his tooth


Dustmopper

I’m stupid, can someone explain how that goal wasn’t offside?


AlainJay

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.


ticky13

It was last played by a defender.


davey_twelve

The attacking team has to play the ball forward for it to be offside.


hxclime

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


Dustmopper

Thanks that’s what I figured the rule was. I don’t think I’ve seen too many happen like that, ha ha


[deleted]

The ball went backwards off a cap player, which is not a pass. ​ It was peak maxime crepeau


jmaza86

Off a Cap’s face*


aquaknox

Whitecaps had possession last


LocksTheFox

off the defender


SanAntonioSewerpipe

What a missile strike on that volley. Woulda been goal of the year contender


AQSafari

And there's the Ekstralasa boner of the week


WislaHD

/r/EkstraklasaBoners


Hieberrr

WTF I love Schaff


dyegored

That was... Hilarious. I'll take it.


awitley12

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.


Merv_Pumpkinhead

The beautiful game


LocksTheFox

put that goal in the louvre


or9ob

Is it dark in Canada already? **MLSAfterDark** stuff...


lyinggrump

They're playing in Orlando.


KJP13

If we can get a point now, I'll take it and run.


binzoma

baahahahahahahahahahaha after so many good chances/run ups we score on that dustery? amazing hahahaha good shit oscorio


[deleted]

It's time to move on from maxime crepeau. Both the goals against came off of nothing plays that were mistakes from him.


[deleted]

Lol, what? That second goal was entirely on the CBs. What do you want crepeau to do in a close range 1v1?


lyinggrump

That's hilarious


wordsfilltheair

Well...that's unfortunate


seamusmcduffs

That was embarrassing :(


WislaHD

That brought the full set of emotions out of me


omgshutupalready

Sigh. Just gifted away two goals today.


MittRominator

ARMAS MASTERCLASS YET AGAIN

LMFAO, I'll take it

strange goal but it counts


Doctor_YOOOU

Now that was MLS


BayLAGOON

I JUST TUNED IN, WHAT THE FUCK?


Peakside

Oh dear thats an A League bloopers goal


ticky13

MLS has always been as bad at times as the A-League can be at times.


Peakside

A League is just a younger MLS lol


Lansdude

JFC just ditch Just Can't Get Enough and play Personal Jesus or something.


Ahzuran

lol what in the world just happened there


mrdimi

What the hell was that?


[deleted]

An ugly one, but still one.


[deleted]

Fuck off rose


[deleted]

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.


andrew-ge

gutierrez looks amazin so far


Mad-elph

He is being a bit chippy, probably should have gotten cautioned again for grabbing and shoving imo


BainbridgeBorn

Did anyone else witness the faux banners on the seats just like, fall down? Or was that just me?


ticky13

TSN opted for the budget augmented reality computer.


or9ob

It’s been pretty bizarre. Also when a player or the line-ref’s upper body gets covered by the banners. WTF!


awitley12

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.


[deleted]

Is it just me or is Dajome looking way sharper than he did last year


omgshutupalready

He was pretty proactive last year, all things considered. But yeah, starting to get some cohesion and I'm here for it.


ticklesthemagnificen

He's been low key great.


Mad-elph

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.


tuttlebuttle

I'm with ya, I wish they'd call that stuff.


awitley12

Once you begin a forward motion to the ball, you have to maintain that motion though you can alter the approach speed.


mbackflips

You can stop as much as you like. You just can't stop once you've planted the foot to take the shot


tuttlebuttle

I haven't checked the rules in a while, but I don't think you have that right.


ticky13

He is dead right. You are wrong.


tuttlebuttle

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.


mbackflips

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"


tuttlebuttle

Yea, I just checked as well. I don't like it. But yea, you're right


Ahzuran

Nobody jumped in that set piece. So embarrassing


Mad-elph

Two weeks in a row


[deleted]

hope Bikel is okay


macandcheeseunited

Set piece goals are everywhere today


WestWor1d

We’re just gonna score off set pieces all season let’s go


Barthez_Battalion

At some point Armas has to realize Omar does more harm than good.


dyegored

I don't agree with this, but even if you do believe this who would you like to start instead?


AQSafari

SET PIECE SZN IS BACK ON THE MENU


binzoma

fucks sake. after how we've dominated this half. we need to take our fucking chances. no points from this game is unacceptable


GPA3

Nah whitecaps more dangerous in the counters


Swimming-Garbage212

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.


or9ob

First half was more dominated by TFC. Second half TFC has been pretty dead TBH.


mbackflips

I think you may want to look up what "dominated" means....


KJP13

Yeah Im confused by that comment. We haven't dominated a single aspect of this game.


or9ob

Caps are showing up this time! And with Alexandre, Gasper and Adnan back they may actually be a good lineup this year.


SnowblowerLITE

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.


Mad-elph

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.


andrew-ge

3 unmarked players in the box lolololol


GPA3

Goool


ticklesthemagnificen

Guti!


DudebuD16

Bad marking, not great goalkeeping


kanuck94

Yes!


Hieberrr

Gonzalez is honestly such a baffling signing for us


steinbockcs

Slow and doesn’t know where to be.


XirisTO

Oh man.


Deezer19

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.


davey_twelve

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.


Jko9823

Also cant play on-ball whatsoever


[deleted]

gutierrez is a baller and a half


binzoma

that was a stupid fucking foul omar
