So sadly I didn't even realize until this morning that we have a game tonight against the non-french Canadian team. Apparently the team's flight didn't get into Vancouver until some time today due to delays. So a tough trip may have just gotten tougher. Thought? Predictions?
I know one thing, we need a win.... its weird to have a thread thats actually about the game of soccer, but im sure it will turn around a few pages in
Yeah. It was aight. I did just go watch Toy Story 3. My son was the only child in the theater. Hmm. So we're going with an all Brazilian strike force.
So they didn't start Titton. A pretty good first half. Vancouver had more chances, but we managed to hold them. Glad that little give away by Captain Jack didn't turn into a cheap goal.
One thing is for sure. We seem to know how to keep the Vancouver's offense at bay just giving up the one goal against them this season. Now if only we could score a goal against them.
wow great chance and then a goal on a corner... how does anyone have that much time in the middle of the box on a corner?
I'll take the point. It just seems maddening to me though that we can take points from teams like Vancouver and Portland but yet look totally lost at home against Carolina.
damn, we should have won. we really needed a win out of that. I know I'm stating the obvious, but I'm primarily just venting!!! Anyone know how many shots we had? It would be interesting to see the stats of shots per game for AC before Schilly took over and after. I could be wrong, but I think that Schilly's team is taking more then Anelka's. And since we are at, or near, the bottom on total shots, I think this is a good thing at this level of play. Don't try to be perfect, challenge the keeper.
I'm thinking we're seeing improvement defensively if nothing else. We've given up 3 goals in 3 league games. We just need to get our offense clicking better than it has. I'm trying to view Dufty realistically...but is he good or bad? I'm not sure. Vancouver's long passes just tore us up...we couldn't defend against them.
Anyone know where the archive is? I tried watching the game last night but my internet just said no to that idea.
Dufty is below average.... he looks good when his height comes in to play and he gets to use that to his advantage but otherwise his recognition and positioning is awful The offense looks fine... but then they they get impatient and rush a through ball or just seem to make panicked passed near the box... the build up was much better than games in the past
Archive of last night's game is on Vancouver's website...... http://www.whitecapsfc.com/live/archive/
