    3-2. Both teams are unfinished. Jimenez / Peruzza get our goals.

    I wonder if Chung starts over JMR

    I hope you're going with Canadian or Ukrainian vodka or something like that.

    Georgian Bay Vodka is supposed to be very good but haven't had a chance to try it yet...

    The NSLC (Nova Scotia Liquor Commission) actually pulled all the vodka from that country we shall not name. I got a bottle of Tito's. Tried it for the first time a couple weeks ago and it goes down like a dream.

    Thanks for the tip, sounds like another vodka I gotta try!

    The Poles tend to make decent vodka. I like Wyborowa

    Stolichnaya is made in Latvia. Stoli Elit is very good.

    Reyka is from Iceland and it's also very good for the price

    Incredibly excited for the game and season to start off. Not as focused on the result, but more so on the process.
    - How does Pozuelo look in the role BB wants him to play (more defensively and structured)
    - How do our young wing backs look?
    - What's the Salcedo/Mavinga partnership looking like?
    - What does our pressing system look like?
    - How does Jesus look for the team? Does the summer of Perruzza kick off today?
    Very excited. I think we lose 2-1, with a goal coming from JJ.

    I have never been so excited to get home and watch a Vancouver Whitecaps game.

    Since there's no thread for other MLS games this week... Vancouver does not look good.

    Just zero urgency. Can’t break Columbus’ press, defenders badly late to get back into position on both goal. A few more games like this and Vanni will be joining Dos Santos in the former managers club.

    Crepeau probably would’ve got to the deflected dribbler.

    Nagbe and Artur are just running the game. Teibert and Baldisimo might aswell not even be on the field.

    Alex Bono will never not impress new coaches with how tall and handsome he is. Also, that bench is... Thin.

    Only surprise really is Bono getting the start over Westberg. Looks good otherwise though.

    This line-up is worse than last year and it's not even close. Disaster off-season. Holding on for dear life until Insigne.

    Yeh, I don't get Bono. They HAVE to be looking for an upgrade for 2023 when his contract is done.

    As for the bench, that's probably all our best subs. Given that the guys who left had to leave, this was always going to be a crappy time.

    There is no depth, but would we really prefer the 2021 team?


    Looking forward to seeing the yutes battle it out in cold wet conditions.

    Deandre Kerr being an opening day starter tells you all you need to know about this off-season.

    Let’s see what the kids can do.

    So much of this early season is gonna depend on Pozuelo returning to form.

    You know what? If we look better than Vancouver, I'll consider that a win.

    Go easy on Kerr. We easily could have loaded up on Nick DeLeon style MLS lifers. They see something in the kid.

    Personally I though we majorly downgraded last season when we yanked our kids and put in vets.

    Mildly optimistic but I know on paper this is an inexperienced group.

    To me this is an upgrade because you have a better CB, an actual forward who can score, and most importantly Pozuelo who is over the yips

    Edit: 5 minutes extra time in Vancouver when they are down 4-0. MLS officials are clueless

    Frankly, if there is a semblance of organization, that's a long term W today.

    This offseason's lack of actual bodies coming is something we haven't seen since the days after Mariner left - being stuck under crappy contracts for players that didn't want to be around or were good enough to be around. The mess was 3 years in the making, hidden by 2019 & covid.

    I'll go easy on Kerr, but Jayden Nelson needs to show something. He looked slightly better at the end of last season, but he has been the least impressive of the very hyped youth movement.

    I would count myself among Nelson (really the coaching staff’s) biggest critic last year. Nothing close to first team ready.

    From what I saw of preseason he looked much better. Playing inside the team and not looking like Mo Babouli part ii. That said, still only preseason…

    If we're using Kerr Nelson at the wings, Destro/Insigne can slot pretty comfily in.
