If I've said it once, I've said it a million times: Haber is a young David Suazo.

What's interesting about the Leveron signing is that he captained a pretty decent side in the Olympics for all to see, and yet he's signed for what, $70k per year? I've repeatedly mocked those who suggest that there's a flood of …

Kenny Miller
Disappointing if Miller is holding himself out of the squad, waiting for his return to Glasgow.

CSA Seeking your opinion
I seem to recall about 4k, many of them Costa Ricans, at our last qualifying match in 2004. There was a similarly attended friendly against Honduras, I believe in preparation for the 2007 Gold Cup. OF course, the capacity was only 5,700, so I guess …

After the Whitecaps...
Straith is also out of contract in the coming weeks, and would give cover at all 4 defender spots. REB would be more of a project, and I'm not sure he has be right attitude tbh.

This does look a bit like Mo Johnston circa 2008, with the exception that Ryan Nelsen has a fair bit of credibility. I think Payne is regarded as a bit of a "capologist" and the club is committing very little in terms of long-term salary (…

Great episode until Michael started bashing Alderson. Hasn't Russell taught us not to doubt Canadian soccer prodigies?

Whitecaps U-23 (USL PDL) and Residency (USSDA - U18 and down)
Smapti is saying it's not an NCAA restriction, which makes it all the more crazy in my view. There's no reason they can't train with the 1st team and play at least some of the PDL matches. Isn't that what Sampson will be doing?

Whitecaps U-23 (USL PDL) and Residency (USSDA - U18 and down)
Not impressed with that decision by the Caps. For every Ethen Sampson, we literally have 5 residency grads who need competitive matches. Sign Sampson, loan him to Charleston or wherever and let your own kids play.

From twitter, it sounds like Irving and McKendry are back. Not sure about Rodriguez.

My sense is that he's suffering from Dede disease: technical players in a physical league who literally cannot believe he's being mugged every time he touches the ball.
