I will be at doolins!

And it can't b red bull!

Should be a good game especially after the catastrophe of the last one. If we win, we'll have the same amount of points at the halfway mark as we did all of last season. 2011 seems so nonexistent now.

Also Ryan (YaBeauty) will be there, as he's home from Australia for a vacation

Yes, he'll be at Doolins, sorry if I didn't make that clear.

So feel free to introduce yourselves to him

Wooooow, Rochat is moved up to midfield, Harvey fills in, Robson and Hassli in...who saw that coming?

Edit: and Le Toux is on the bench...

WhitecapsFC Starting XI: 4-2-3-1 right-to-left:Cannon; Lee, Bonjour, DeMerit, Harvey; Koffie, Rochat; Robson, Mattocks, Chiumiento; Hassli

WhitecapsFC Substitutes: Knighton, Le Toux, Nanchoff, Mitchell, 31.Russell Teibert, Klazura, Camilo

Gantar... distracted? Holy hell he's letting a lot go.

Can we change the drinking game to drink everytime security hassles #CapsonTour? We'd be plastered by kickoff!

Joe Cannon wears shorts shorts...

From the whitecapsmatch twitter feed:

"52': Cannon flashes some leg opting for shorts over capris in tonight's heat"

Good professional display on an away game at altitude - the sort of performance you need in places like Denver and Mexico City.

Decent debut for our new DP. Of course he was going to start with Davidson suspended and both Thorrington and Watson injured. Robson seemed to whine a bit about getting tackled, and he did give up some possession. Hopefully that improves with his game fitness.

MOTM to Joe Cannon for all those saves in a shutout. How the hell is he allowed to wear all-burgundy when the opponents are wearing maroon? Bizarre.

I liked Alain Rochat better in CM than I ever do at CB.

Our back line was very fortunate that Conor Casey didn't score from several chances (and what could have been a PK called on Bonjour).

Martin Rennie's hair didn't look as dishevelled as usual. Altitude?

Okay I honestly don't know if we deserved 3 points but I sure as hell will take them. Oh yea Mr Robson welcome to MLS officiating. Absolute crap reffing tonight. At least it was about 50-50 bad none calls.

Great bunker job after Mattocks scored. Quite the calm poacher. Hassli had his best game in a long time. I really like him paired with Darren. Mattocks can finish but can't pass to save his life. Hassli not only completed a lot of passes but held the ball up great.

The whole team played a really great road game with 3 of our defenders getting my votes for MOTM. Harvey, Bonjour, JD along with both Rochat and Gersh in front of them to really clear a lot.

One thing I've noticed about Rennie's formations is that no matter what they are on offence they collapse back to a 4-5-1 on defence. Only twice tonight did I see a 4-4-2 and that was because both forwards had run their bag off.

In the end our keeper came up big when he had to and theirs didn't. Our forwards scored on our single chance and theirs didn't on multiple chances. Our defenders can handle the ball eons better than theirs!

Am I the only one who thought Gantar wasn't completely shite today? Let an awful lot go, but seemed consistent in what he allowed and what he called.

No, I also thought Gantar was okay and appropriately hands-off for the most part. I also thought Jordan Harvey was man of the match. This was a weird game.

Anyways, it was a great game on both sides of the field, and why did mattocks get the yellow card??

Nasty bit of time wasting. Took a "shot" well after the whistle. Well-earned, I thought.

I managed to catch the second half on 1410. Schadd and Norman actually commented on the short shorts. Joe can play in a thong if it helps us win for all I care.

One thing I didn't like tonight from Hassli was how he watched Mattocks score with his hands in the air, celebrating. He would have looked pretty stupid if Mattocks put the ball wide on the right when he could have hustled and tapped it in. Maybe I'm being overly critical, but when the goal is at your mercy is the worst time to stop running and pull out a bag of popcorn.

I think he was trying to indicate to the ref that it was a fair ball... you know how opposing players always put up their hands when they're "innocent"

The problem is that, and I agree with you about Hassli, you never know what you're gonna get with the big man. He still on many occasions tonight sat on the pitch and cried like a little baby after being taken down.

Okay Eric, we all saw the foul, the ref didn't call it! Get the fuck up man!

where is teibert? i certainly think he has deserved a start over nanchoff after watching the reserve games. but a good team win. hassli did well to hold up the ball and pass off to mattocks. robson had the odd touch what a shot in the first 15 but looked tired with the pace, heat, and altitude. i wish sportsnet showed more or the travelling support, including my bro, but maybe not their feed.

I loved Bazza's interview after the match.

To the players giving him attention - "bring it on"!

So we've passed last season's point total. Not a bad first half to the season.

Technically he is the 3rd Caps DP ever.

MacEwen sank to a new low last night with that six seconds of silence in calling the goal.

Or when the Rapids' defender "came in with the channel"

Agreed - tough to watch but great result.

I was very impressed with Robson. He gave away possession a couple of times in interesting spots but I think that was a function of over-confidence or timing being off. I like how fast he plays and it seemed to be contagious with the rest of the Caps. He passes and moves ... almost shifts rather than moves... you can tell he knows what he's doing when he'll take a couple of steps backwards (off the ball) to pull his defender into a space that he wants to occupy and he'll move into that space at the right time (ie. when the man on the ball is ready to deliver to him).

MOTM to Joe Cannon for all those saves in a shutout. How the hell is he allowed to wear all-burgundy when the opponents are wearing maroon? Bizarre.

I was thinking the same thing. And the shorts just looked weird on him. I think his issue is he pulls his pants up to his bellybutton - I'll give him a pass as he's old.

I liked Alain Rochat better in CM than I ever do at CB.

Didn't notice.

Our back line was very fortunate that Casey Connor didn't score from several chances (and what could have been a PK called on Bonjour).

Does he play for the Broncos in the offseason - the guy is massive.

Martin Rennie's hair didn't look as dishevelled as usual. Altitude?

He did look weird with a short sleeve dress shirt and slacks.

It was brilliant when ALL the team came over at the end of the match. Their smiles were infectious
