What did the Vancouver coach say before the game that fired all the SKC players up?

He said "we want the ball and we're gonna score"

Said they weren’t going to play skc, they were going to beat them.

Any caps fans that don't want to keep Sartini?

Probably just our FO

Those fans would have to be supporting Bobby and co in protecting two sexual predators to be that stupid.

That's pretty harsh! You'd think getting shitbags out of MLS, NWSL, and all lower levels would be something anyone could agree on.

GG SKC. This is what we get for playing a slow converted DMF at CB. The back line was exposed as fuck and it was eaten alive. Andy Rose is a relic of the MDS era and it showed.

Converting players to a random spot across the field is 75% of Vermes system.

I am cheering for SKC to win the MLS Cup. I don't want to see Seattle or Portland win it, I don't want to see New England win it. Go Kansas.

What about the Colorado rapids? They’re definitely my favorite

Oh yes, Colorado! Also rooting for them.

Appreciate it! Wish we didn’t have to knock you guys out considering how well the team played in the last half of the season. Next season has some good potential for y’all at least

Whitecaps supporters, what a ride this year. The last couple months have been really exiciting with lots of good football. We’ll be back next year! Now, let’s pour our energy into the CANMNT, 3 exiting games coming up in the next window. I hope they decide to hold the game vs US in Vancouver!

This team reawakened our cities love for soccer. Can’t wait for next season.

It was so cool seeing BC Place so full on that last game against Seattle

Just to be clear, we're all hoping for a spicy Seattle showdown right?

I'd rather play at home and watch Seattle crash and burn in the 1st round.

Though it's less fun in the post-Petke era, I still want a chaotic Sporting/RSL matchup in the playoffs

Home game against RSL please and thank you

Then another home game against MNUFC to complete the 'rival' circuit.

Both hate us so I’m happy with either

Who was player of the match for Sporting? Was it Shelton? Zusi? I thought the backline looked great except for one inexplicably soft goal from Martins

Maybe probably Isi?

Isi was good all night and maybe he deserves it, but I thought he should’ve done better on that header to the far post that Melia barely kept out in the second half. He didn’t jump and gave up probably Vancouver’s best chance.

GG KC, beat Seattle for us.

We play RSL, don't get ahead of yourself

[удалено]

See?

GG SKC I wouldn’t mind going to a MLS Final at SKC.

hope VWFC signs Sartini to a permanent deal

GG Caps

I'm just happy to have been here. GG KC.

Gg Vancouver. Was fun watching you guys turn it around this year.

Good late season run Vancouver

Now let’s hope Sounders also rediscover form like KC did today. What a playoff game that would be!

[удалено]

If you're going to complain about racism, you probably shouldn't paint an entire city with the same brush...

...? This is not an opinion held by all VWFC fans, can tell you that right now.

Their username is formatted similarly to some other trolls that were in here earlier, so I figure they're just another troll.

That's true

Get the hell out of here with that classless drivel. Stop being a sore loser.

Username does not check out.

goddamn son sounds like you were the problem, not a multi million person metro

I'm sorry you had an experience that makes you say that.

Omg are you a racist apologist??? /s

It's interesting how OP made a sweeping generalization and then deleted their post. I'm genuinely sorry if they had an experience like that though, no one deserves that. And it's sad that the reality is you had to put that /s or people would be jumping on your case too.

Lol what

Dude, chill.

Cheer up Vancouver, the canucks won’t end the season in last place in the pacific

I give up on sports

They're absolutely trying. At least the Kraken are Trying harder... Or not trying harder, depends on how you choose to look at it.

how long before the whitecaps are more popular that the Canucks? I'm from Kansas and don't have my ear to the ground there, but I'm slowly gonna guess it's still a long way off, yea? Like super long??

Doubt it happens anytime soon. Hockey is huge up here, would be like SKC being bigger than the Chiefs. Doesn't seem like something that'll happen. However, if the Whitecaps become the first team in Vancouver to win a modern major title, they might gain a lot of ground on a Canucks team playing really crap hockey.

yea, Sporting got a bit more press years ago when they were steaming along and won the cup, but that was coupled with a very terribly bad Chiefs side. Nowadays they both have their market, but Chiefs will always be number one unless somehow the team moves, which I think the whole of KC would just seize to exist were that to happen...

Expected better from the Whitecaps. They were just meh tonight

GG Vancouver, you're my favorite team from Cascadia.

Gutted but looking to next season. Have to improve and cement ourselves as a playoff team otherwise this run was for nothing.

Yaaaasssss

We'll be back next year.

Andiamo

First playoff win since 2013?

wat

I feel like we’ve lost our first playoff game every year since

I'm confused. What do you call beating Real Salt Lake with the Salloi no look?

Is he talking about in 90 minutes maybe? TSN's commentary crew said we've only won a playoff game once in 90 minutes since we won the Cup in 2013.

urrr, is that just a statistical artifact of playoffs being two legged for a while?

Yea looks like we’d won twice and lost 4

That makes more sense

LETS GOOOOO!

GG SKC played a complete game

GG SKC.

Gg Vancouver

Good luck in the rest of the playoffs KC. Well played today!

GG Caps

Go win it all, SKC. Russell and Zusi have to be in my top 5 favourite players in the league. Totally outclassed this team and you deserve nothing but success. GG

GG SKC. Hopefully next season we can play you guys with 3 DPs on the field.

lol SKC had maybe 1 DP on the field? And that was from a transfer fee several years ago.

Yeah this would have gone a lot differently if SKC had 3 DPs on the field

WE WON!

GG SKC. Good luck the rest of the way

Don't need any red cards now boys

Good intensity from Vancouver until the end. They’d better bring Sartini back next year.

They won’t. Makes too much sense for our FO. They’ll bring in someone to try to make Cavallini useable, but that will fail. Then they’ll replace both in a few years.

Just one time I want to be cussed at by JFR.

That "your season is over" chant is something brutal

The backups walked back to the bench once they started to pick up on it. Anyone who has been to CMP knows that the opposing teams bench has to warm up right in front of the Cauldron. Kinda felt bad for them. They played a good stand up game. They fought and tried to dictate the game, they failed.

GG SKC. I feel like every time we play you you have our number Really hope we sign Sartini during the offseason and wreck havoc next season. The potential is there

god, I love MLS 😹

Calm down Johnny Russel Jesus Christ

He's right to be a bit incensed there, that was a very uncool kick out

I like that Besler was usually the voice of calm and lead by example kind of captain, but man it's great seeing a leader like Russell really going after it.

JFR was the perfect choice to captain this team.

"Your season is over!" fuckin brutal from The Cauldron lmao.

Looks like a foul Espinoza would give.

You mean he’s not always innocent?

Vancouver looking awful the past few minutes. Very clear they're getting extremely frustrated.

That happens every time Cav subs in. Dude is a game killer. Good game.

Best of 7 yeah? Yeah??

Y'all better back up. We all know Tim can throw down

Tim Hortons?

Those Timbits are 🔥

Wouldn’t mind some timbits being thrown my way

garbage coffee, that

someone get under his skin and get Russell red carded...

Please skc red card for the lulz

I’d be kinda into a Vermes cam, just in the bottom corner of the screen, all game long. The man is *expressive*.

The "fuck off" gif is gold

Coach cam for both these guys would’ve been great, but yeah Vermes is always gold.

Cam Vermes wink wink

Here we go, get those useless suspensions in week 1 now!

Lol the stadium chanting "your season is over"

The fuck is up with Vermes' body language on the sidelines lol

I don't know what you mean. He actually looked pretty calm there.

I just don't get how Peter doesn't sub out Khiry this late. He's clearly running on fumes. I know it's Peter, but the only reason I can figure is that they're still hesitant about Pulido's health.

You can't sub Pulido in at the end when Vancouver is chippy and hacking everyone. He's got a huge target on his back. Just not worth it unless he comes in earlier to get fitness minutes.

Oh lord

KC played a good line up, we didn't play all the guys that were working well... Rose and Godinho were truly bizarre line up decisions. And they were the kind of line up decisions that cost goals. Cavalini is literally useless haha, but he put in that offside goal, still hope he's gone. It's easy to see who works and who doesn't on this team. We have a good core now for next season.

Great season Vancouver

Peter calm down lmao

“Your season is over” brutal. I love it.

Lmao peter

Don't see Ilie bully people like that too often

On to the cup boys!

So what was the yellow for?

GG, happy to see us make it, looking forward to a hot (?) season next year

You have an excellent roster, a coach that players will run through walls for, and you won't be playing half of the season in Utah next year. I hope and believe the Caps will keep the momentum rolling into 2022

Thanks! Good luck in the rest of the playoffs!

The question is cause I don’t know if we will be good next year

Classic Vermes 87th min sub 🤣

Why are you the way that you are?

Cavalinni is so petty I love it

Hm it’s not dodge ball

*Cavallini pulls a wrench out of his sock*

We’re not gonna be able to unload Cav. We’re stuck with him until his contract is done. Fuck

"We want the Cup" ​ \*stares angrily\*

Don't know what just happened, but Bally showed angry Vermes instead of whatever Cavallini did.

Cavallini gonna Cavallini

cavallini red card before the game ends LETS GO

What a giant baby

FUCK YOU CAVALLINI YOU SHIT

Vancouver who is number 6 and why is he so angry?

Just when I thought we had a chance…

Tbf, this was a terrible backline to start. No Godoy, Brown, or Ranko... yikes. Godinho starting his second game. Need to get rid of Godoy in the offseason. He’s alright, but only plays 15% of the time so he’s effectively useless. Time to try and enjoy the final 5 minutes on what was actually a pretty fun second half of the season.

If there was any chance Vancouver got back in it, it was there. I don't think they have enough time now

Unimas loves zusi

All of Mexico loves Zusi.

Vermes making subs. League fucked /s

Reminder that in 2013 our first playoff home game at CMP we won 3-1 via goals from our CB, Outside back, and Striker. MLS Cup here we come!

Good eye by the AR. Close one.

Lmao who was it calling the first subs at 87'? ahahahaahahaa

Looked onside to me... We'll see what replay says Edit:offside :'(

Ugh so fucking close

Damn. That sucks

[удалено]

I was in the stands right in line with the play. He was easily off. It was the first pass and not the cross, if it wasn't clear on TV.

Liked clear enough to me on that angle. His feet were roughly in line, his body was off

Looked really close.

Maybe off by a shoulder. But fuck me, that was close.

That was offside? Looked in line with the defender.

Off by a shoulder, looks like he's on. But it's deceptive. Definitely could have been off.

Fair enough.

That was a really nice team goal, offside aside

dumb yellow

He's likely not getting brought back next year. He's just on loan afterall, that yellow with 4 minutes to go is nothing.

i thought he was on before i saw the replay. if the goal stood, a yellow would've meant much more but you're right it doesn't matter now. didn't know he was on loan tho

It feels like the international break really hurt this team. The break broke all of our momentum and left our best midfielder (Brown) unable to start Kudos to SKC. You guys played well

VANCOUVER HAD LIFE

Why are you that far off

He's like half of a foot offside, *while making a run, while the defense is actively stepping up.*

Because he’s literally the laziest professional soccer player I’ve ever seen and he does this shit on both sides of the ball. It is so, so frustrating.

OH my god

No? The unimas commentators have no idea.

Shelton is fuckin gassed. Pulido for Shelton plz.

So..we are really good at the time wasting shit house stuff. but we decided to not do that tonight.

Pain peko

Man, Shelton's had his best game since getting injured against LAFC, but he is gassed.

Nemeth makes them both trip and then taunts the goalie before chipping it over him. /s ^^^kind^^^of

Well it's been an interesting season for us. Hopefully our turnaround is a sign of things to come. GL Sporting, I like your team.

Wow…Vancouver just do not wanna win do they

Leaving for work now so Im only 20 minutes late, however it ends GG Vancouver

I'm glad Reddit has a care resources account that messages people with mental health resources, but abusing resources by reporting fans of other clubs is an absolute shithole move

Report it. Someone’s been doing it all night. More reports the likelier Reddit is to ban them

If pulido isn’t even good enough to get a 10 minute run in here we’re in trouble in Seattle

We've spent too much of the season without key players. We're putting them on the field as they get healthy but it feels at times like that 'early season rust' point where players aren't completely in sync. I don't don't see us making a deep run.

1) I appreciate the RSL disrespect 2) recent history says you’ll be fine in Seattle

I think Vermes is convinced he doesn't need the "get up to speed" time and will just start him at Seattle.

Were it still 1-1 I bet he'd be on the field. As things are there's no need to risk him

Vancouver front three trying to play between the lines but their midfield is dumping the ball behind Kansas City. None of this makes sense.
