Mar. 30th, 2013, 7:30pm - Chivas vs Whitecaps - MLS Round 4 (R)
The back three is obviously still new to the Chivas players, but it's vital that the Whitecaps get someone cutting into the middle to help out Darren Mattocks. When going against three centre backs, one centre forward taking them on is a big ta…

If you were manager....
Johnny Leveron still isn't match fit and obviously losing Carlyle Mitchell on loan doesn't help either, but maybe another centre back for depth wouldn't a bad idea. I too would also start Brad Knighton and keep Joe Cannon more as a m…

2013 Gold Cup: Canada v Mexico in Seattle, July 11 (match tickets & Voyageurs' bus trip)
Assuming I'll be back in Vancouver, I'll definitely be getting a ticket for this. Will be fun to stand in a sea of red and cheer on our boys.

Mar. 23rd, 2013, 5:30pm - Dynamo vs Whitecaps - MLS Round 3 (R)
Considering who Houston is missing, this is a great opportunity for us to get three more points. We won our first two games before drawing our third match of the season last year, hopefully we can make it three in a row this time around.

Lee is a bargain
Nice to see all of that recognition he and Alain Rochat are getting.

Poor Attendance at BC Place
I'll try and get this back on topic, then. A quick thought on the low attendance. The one thing Pete Schaad is forgetting is the amount of marketing muscle that Seattle and Toronto have. I know we're no slouches in that department, but wh…

Canada v. Mexico, 2013 Gold Cup, Thursday, July 11 8PM, Century-Link Field
How long will the list be open? I'll be back here in early June and if my parents haven't moved, I'd definitely go.

MLS Expansion
Plus Las Vegas would be a lot like Florida teams, not a lot of actual hometown support because not everyone in Las Vegas are even born or raised there.

Johnny Leverón
Highly doubt we'd use a three man defence. Loving and covering the Serie A like I do, I'm a big fan of those formations, but I don't think it would work in MLS.

Ryan Nelsen to replace Mariner as coach of TFC
I wish I was back east for this, or else I might've actually been able to go. Oh well, should be a good one to watch on TV.

Southsiders Tifo Displays
I remember last year that the "V" caused a lot of issues with how people pulled it down, etc. Maybe try using another tifo that goes up-down or down-up? Obviously that will require people to make another banner, which will require time. St…

Poor Attendance at BC Place
That's great that they're capitalizing on that. I don't see the Canucks going past April so after that it'll be all Whitecaps mixed in with a bit of BC Lions but if the Caps keep winning and playing good football, they'll pr…

Southsiders Tifo Displays
I remember last season we used the "V" and there was no communication prior, so the fact we're doing that now is good. It'll only get better.

Capo feedback thread
It was quite lively yesterday considering a lot expected the atmosphere level to drop after the season opener. The bouncing should be something that continues to be used because not only does it pump me up (surely others feel the same) and the playe…

I was told about the tifo about 10 minutes before the anthems started, then my dad and I told everyone else around us, though it seems that 251 sort of fucked up compared to the other ones.

Capo feedback thread
Must admit that I loved the bouncing. I watched the Schalke-Dortmund game earlier that day and saw 30,000 Schalke ultras bouncing on the spot, it was nice to see a ton of us doing the same. As for the capos, great job down there as always. Doesn�…

I know that Columbus isn't a bad team, but it's not a "sexy" one per say. Obviously the home/season opener against Toronto will appeal to more people. Eventually when we have more wins and continue playing attractive football, 21…

Megaphones and stands for capos
Capo stands aren't necessary for now, for teams like Portland and Seattle it works because they are pretty high above the pitch and the entire end is full of the supporters. For us, we don't need it. The megaphone thing, coloured flags, an…

Whitecaps Average Age - 2013
I love it, 25-26 years of age is a good median. We've got a decent balance and the ones who are 24 or 25 are experienced enough.

Cannon or Knighton?
The way I see it, when you have a younger player you're hanging your hopes on in the future, give him a decent run of games. Joe appears to be fit and confident, plus experience does go a long way, but occasionally give him a break and play Bra…

I really hope management knows what they're doing. If he's signing a DP contract, I wish they'd wait a bit after seeing the likes of Mustapha Jarju and Barry Robson fail. Eric Hassli was indifferent, won't get in-depth as it'…

Johnny Leverón
I like the signing, he's young, solid at the back, I think he can be a great addition to our squad and I'm sure he's on lower wages than some of our current and former defenders.
