"There's Still Time" - Vancouver Whitecaps/MLS/North American Soccer Podcast
I don't mind your theory, but neither Manneh or Hurtado are strikers, and I'm not willing to bet my paycheck that Salgado will overcome his injuries to become a everyday starter. Mattocks certainly has his faults but we are pretty thin wh…

The problem with that is that if the medical team has no reason to restrict his training, and he wants to go, you're pissing off one of your bright young stars by not letting him go to a training camp that may even assist his return to fitness.…

MLS Reserves' League
I've got no idea how Clarke hasn't been given more of a look with all the forward rotating we have seen lately. I mean, I know he's young and inexperienced but he scores everywhere e goes. Maybe give him a reserve league start or two…

I don't think he meant he'd never bring those two on road again, just that someone else may get the start. And Harvey and Klazura are two of the three fittest guys on the team. They could certainly afford to bomb down the flanks all game.…

I'm not going to comment on most of the posts here, because some of these are bordering on absurd but I'd like to ask a question to those who were critical of the starting 11. 1) For those critical of the "0-0 draw tactics," how…

No, I get that. But who cares if the PA announcer did his job? As long as he didn't say "Hahaha, own goal from Edmonton #10, you fucking goof, it's all your fault" I'm pretty sure he did exactly what he is supposed to do.

I didn't see the game as I was out of town, but I'm not sure what all the hubaloo is about. The PA announcer is told to announce the goals. He announced an own goal. What's the big whoop?

Ji-Sung Park
I bet an equal number won't sign in Columbus or Toronto or Chicago because its miserably cold and ugly compared to Vancouver. Lots of players out there to choose from even if you take out players unwilling to play on turf.

Paulo Jr couldn't have been on more than 60k. Probably league minimum.

Pyramid Scheme Sponsors
Quite frankly I find all big business is predatory in some way. You think BMO isn't completely raking their clients over the coals when they get the chance? Business is business, so if one of them wants to pay me twice the amount to put its n…

I don't know if Dallas gives a rats ass about us, but I certainly feel a very unhealthy level of distaste for their club. Quite frankly, I hope their club loses all their sponsorships, loses all fan support, and gets purchased by some rich oil…

Yeah. I was watching a broadcast of a EPL game and the moron doing play by play called it "Toe-MOTT-oh" rather than "Ta-MAY-toe," and then later said "al-oo-MIN-ee-um," lol! ;)

Not to mention that both Demerit and Miller are already fairly aged.

Okay. I'll bite Saltybugr, do you have any medical training? Are you a physiotherapist or a medical practitioner? If so, did you speak to and examine DeMerit, Salgado, or Miller? Unless both of those questions are yes, your argument is an as…

Change of government, no, but surely a new leaseholder may trigger a new lease agreement or break lease clause.

I'm not a lawyer or a politician, so I have no idea about the medium to long term ramifications of a privatization of BC Place would be, but connecting the dots, you'd have to wonder if this could change the plans with regard to Whitecap&#…

Not only that its lose/lose for the Whitecaps. You risk him aggravating an injury without your own medical team if you send him, but you risk an unhappy player if you hold him back and he loses out on his chances for playing for his country. Since…

Teibert just played the best game he's ever played for us. Koffie played two well below average games and hasn't inspired in reserve matches, from all accounts. Gersh is not in form. Teibert is. That means today, if I'm picking my …

I get the different approach to support. I sit in 245. And yes, I said sit. I join in many of the chants, as do some others in the area (Brenton, Bad_Gones, etc) but I think we, or our friends or family who join us, aren't as interested in stan…
