I suspect there are issues in the Whitecaps dressing room. Already shown with Reo-Coker and the 20 goal man.

it's a bit of an issue when Reo Coker walks into the room and takes over captain's armband. Yeah guy has played in EPL and captained teams, but if you just walk into the room and thinks you're the captain, and you have no history with the team, it's going to cause issues.

Little side note here... those Amway flags on the east stands were there during the NYRB, and are still up today. If they are not taken down by satuday, I may have to drink enough beer and tear those f-ers down my damn self. 6-0 TFC, 6-0. HIDE THEM.
Wouldn't go that far should still be proud of our accomplishments no matter how small or how they played this year.
Argh so much resistance! LLol looks they're down as of this morning. The Canadian and US flags are back up.
Like it or not, they are considered silverware.
And its more then VCWC have.
And this one Whitecaps supporter talks about how important it is... (the article is pretty cool story)

That's some inspirational shit right there.
I seriously hate the impact... I hope they get their ass handed to them out west.
there needs to be more teams playing for this cup there are ten provinces in canada so there sould be about 8 teams playing to be name the canadian champions.
this is how it can be done:
Alberta vs.British Columbia winner moves on to play winner of S vs.M
Saskatchewan vs. Manitoba winner moves on tp play winner of A vs.BC
Ontario vs. Quebec winner moves on to play winner of NB vs NS
New Brunswick vs. Nova Scotia winner moves on to play winner of Ont vs Que
all winner's get paid to move on
The final of the ACC tonight. Will Vancouver fail yet again to win, making it the 11th year in a row that they have failed to take the Voyageur's Cup since it was first given in 2002? That's quite a run.
MLS is a tough, physical league, that emphasizes speed, and features plastic fields, grueling travel, extreme weather, and incompetent refs. - NK Toronto
I hope they do lose. I want Vancouver to be that team that never wins. I'm rooting for Montreal as much as it makes me sick to do so.
Yeah I'm rooting for Montreal to keep Vancouver's cup drought going. Plus they're more fun to watch and play more Canadians. Should be a fun game, winner takes all, both teams going for it.
I hate Montreal more than Vancouver. So it's going to be very hard for me to root for Montreal over Vancouver, but as a Canadian soccer fan, I want the team who plays Canadian players most to win this tournament.
Can't find this game anywhere....any links?
what a fk by camilo
What a goal. Vancouver wasn't fucking around out of the gate.
Kobayashi scores 69', 2-1 Vancouver
EDIT: Montreal scores in the 84th minute, 2-2!
AND THAT'S THE GAME! 2-2 final, Montreal wins the Voyageur's Cup!
Have to admit took great pleasure in Vancouver watching the cup slip from their hands (12 straight years!).

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!!!
Suck it Shitecraps!
well im sure PB is happy tonight.
What's up with Vancouver bias commentary from Sportsnet? LOL @ the whitecaps. They had so many opportunities to win it, but they manage to mess it up. Vancouver is truly a choke city. Hockey or soccer, they end up finding a way to choke in the end.
It is tough watching either team win this but I'd have preferred the Whitecaps. I don't know what happened to their English commentator, the guy who does it now isn't even a soccer specialist, really suspect move by Sportsnet. Most US broadcasts also have hack regional commentators akin to Dunleavy for TFC on Score or GolTV. Wileman is possibly the best in MLS.
TFC should try and take Salgado while his stock is rock bottom.
Another heartbreaker for the Caps in this tournament, haha.
