UnkNuk Posted February 6 Share Posted February 6 The Whitecaps begin their journey in the CONCACAF Champions Cup tournament starting this Wednesday at 7pm. The match is scheduled to be on OneSoccer and FUBO. Most likely it's going to be a short journey. Their opening round is a home and home contest against Tigres, a very good Mexican team that has already played five games in the Mexican League. Due to a scheduling conflict with BC Place, this first game will be played in Langford at Starlight Stadium. The return match, in Mexico, will be on February 14th.

UnkNuk Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Whitecaps 1 Tigres 1 An interesting game that the Whitecaps could have stolen. A first half goal by new-comer Damir Kreilach gave the Caps a 1-0 lead. And they juuuust about rode that one goal to victory until a Mexican player scored on a - it must be said - beautiful free kick late in the game. Tigres had the stats on their side and deserved the draw. But the Caps had their chances. And given that they haven't played a meaningful game in months, they looked pretty good. Next, down to Mexico for the second leg next Wednesday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He didn't look to be offside.... Also, if this is anything to go by, Takaoka had a really good night. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe someone who was able to watch it can weigh in. There was another forward between the Keeper and the last defender, but I didn't see him play the ball in that replay. Could be that it wasn't part of the highlight package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, if this is anything to go by, Takaoka had a really good night. In the build up to the goal a player (can't remember who) was offside when he received a pass. Takaoka did have a good night. Another player that caught my eye was newcomer Fafà Picault. He subbed in in the second half and the guy is fast. For its first real outing the team looked good. And that was without Cubas in the lineup. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UnkNuk Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 Tigres 3 Whitecaps 0 (Tigres win series 4-1) The game was closer than the score would indicate. The Caps had their chances but couldn't finish. Not too surprising since this was only their second serious game of the year. A very stop and start kind of game, not much flow. The field didn't help either. A lot of players slipping. Too bad - it would have been nice to see the Caps advance to the Round of 16. So much for the Concacaf Champions Cup. Next up - MLS season opener against Charlotte on March 2.

RSL dominated the second. Miami put away their chances, RSL didn't. It's only one game but based on that one game I'd agree with what one of the announcers said: Miami may not be the juggernaut that many of us expect them to be. But it's only one game. The Whitecaps got the 'bye' for Week 1 () so their first game won't be until March 2. Some interesting match-ups in Week 1: LAFC/Seattle on Saturday - an early meeting between the early favourites to win the Western Conference. Cincinnati/Toronto on Sunday - what can John Herdman do with Toronto, last year's team with the worst record in the league? Galaxy/Miami on Sunday - two of the glamour teams in MLS meet in LA. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RupertKBD Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I watched the replay of Montreal - Orlando City. About as entertaining as a nil-nil draw can be.

UnkNuk Posted February 26 Share Posted February 26 Galaxy 1 Miami 1 An entertaining game that, but for a moment of Messi magic and a couple of missed opportunities for LA, should have been an LA win. Based on this one game sample, the Galaxy are going to be a team to be reckoned with this season. Cincinnati 0 Toronto 0 For Herdman's team to go into Cincinnati and come away with a draw is almost like a win. Especially since Toronto finished last in the league last season and Cincinnati finished first. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know MLS is trying to establish Saturday as 'MLS Soccer' day. But I wish they would stagger the games a bit. Maybe one or two on Friday, a bunch on Saturday and several on Sunday. This Week 2, for instance, there is no game on Friday, 13 games on Saturday and 1 on Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then, when it resumed, the central & south american LAFC players must have wondered what the hell they had gotten themselves into. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
