Uphill Battle Ahead

By: Lee | Comments 6 Comments

We lost at home in front of a packed and raucous Swangard stadium. We did not play well, getting dominated in the midfield. And we’re down a goal heading into hostile territory without our captain.

But this final is far from over.

There’s still a lot of good that can be taken from last night’s game.

The Whitecaps did what they needed to at home, winning the game and now having a slight advantage heading into Portland. Marcus Haber scored the winning goal in the 49th minute with a driven header off the post.

Charles Gbeke gave the Whitecaps an early lead with a diving header but Portland equalized just before halftime thanks to a very dubious penalty call.

The Whitecaps Season that Was

By: Lee | Comments Add Comments

The regular season is finally over. For the Whitecaps, the season has been like a game of Snakes and Ladders: many ups and many downs. The good news is, that despite the topsy-turviness, the Whitecaps find themselves in the playoffs. Though not really a surprise, nobody really knew how such a young team with new players would do. And there is plenty of other good stuff to talk about.

Backing in – Whitecaps 0 – 1 Impact

By: Lee | Comments 2 Comments

Some time in the 90th minute I thought we were destined for a 0-0 draw.

Not a positive result, but one could certainly say it is better than we deserved. The Whitecaps had not played a good game: the Impact had had several good scoring chances and the Caps had only really threatened once.

Weekend Update – Whitecaps Positioned for Playoffs

By: Lee | Comments 1 Comment

It’s been a while since my last blog post. The last week I’ve been moving and getting set up, so it’s all been a little crazy.

Anyways, back to business:

Despite a very up and down season (Nutrilite success, the Disgrace, the Wesley Charles saga, growing pains, injury pains) it finally looks like we’re going to make the playoffs. I guess that’s possible in a league where seven teams make it in a league with only eleven teams. Even though the closest team Miami have two games in hand, they are eleven points behind and have not been playing well as of late.
