wow...that looks like chad

[ag futbol]

Maybe we can get Barrett back????!!

Step away from the ledge, it's not worth it!

[Mr_gamble]

I'm glad Frei got the clean sheet. Good for my fantasy team. Next week I'll be having Cesar in goal, just because I don't want to lose points for all the goals Frei is going to concede

[notthesun]

D.C. picking up where they left off so far. Down 2-0 to Columbus 30 minutes in, Arrieta goal off some nice passing and Higuain penalty.

[mowe]

I'm excited for to see the Whitecaps this season. Laba and Reo-Coker is a very strong midfield. If they can find some goals they should be in the playoff mix.

[notthesun]

Convey starting at LB for the Red Bulls.

[ag futbol]

Holly crap does this ref in the caps game look out of shape.

[pdubs]

whitecaps turf looks extremely bad

It's playing a lot slower than the seattle turf. Although it was raining there, so its a tough comparison.

This ref is awful. He's missing all kinds of stuff and pulled out the yellow card already for a somewhat innocuous foul. Only a matter of time before he loses the game.

[tfcleeds]

Sucks seeing Laba with the Caps.

[ag futbol]

Laba has broken the play twice now and delivered a killer pass a spit second later.

Between a good chance and a glorious chance, Mattocks should have at least a goal by now. Especially that last chance. Brilliant movement but he messed up his first touch badly.

[tfcleeds]

I see Darren Mattocks has picked up where he left off too!

[FluSH]

lol... Those two attempts were horrible!

He's athletic enough to get in good positions, but not technical enough to finish the chances. His form on some of these chances is just atrocious.

[FluSH]

Damn tough call...

[notthesun]

Uh oh. Eckersley handball in the box, penalty to Vancouver. Looked like a good call to me.

Easy for Miller. 1-0 Vancouver.

[pdubs]

whitecaps looking good. and morales is still on the bench.

btw tsn audio is horrendous. buzzing sound when announcers talk.. lots of people on twitter complaining about it.

[FluSH]

Mattocks needs to go... Now lol

[TFC07]

Caps midfield is looking good, but too bad they don't have better striker to finish off their chances. RBNY backline and midfield look slow in the game so far.

[tfcleeds]

Don't see this everyday - Caps GK kicks the ball so high, hits the scoreboard for a drop ball.

[OgtheDim]

If Columbus scores an away goal, does anybody within 75 miles of the stadium hear?

[FluSH]

WTF Maurice Edu back in the MLS?? How did I miss this! One of. My favourite former TFC players!

[FluSH]

If Columbus scores an away goal, does anybody within 75 miles of the stadium hear?

lmao

[TFC07]

Nice goal. 2-nil for whitecaps now.

[pdubs]

what a goal for Vancouver

[tfcleeds]

What a strike by Fernandez.

[mowe]

Hell of a goal. Bullet.

[notthesun]

Fernandez was impressing even before the goal. Vancouver may have something on their hands here...

A lot of people were taking the piss out of Vancouver over the offseason - I know I was. Might be eating crow yet. They look pretty good.
