Cascadia Cup: Seattle Sounders at Vancouver Whitecaps - Gamethread

in Sounders: MLS Regular Season
Email
PrintWhile the Seattle Sounder no longer need to worry about making the MLS Cup Playoffs, there is still much to play for up in Vancouver. The Cascadia Cup is in doubt and that minuscule chance at the Supporters Shield needs Seattle to win out. Fortunately Seattle is playing the rather weak Vancouver Whitecaps on the final day of Empire Field. This rivalry match will feature hundreds of Seattle fans in their Rave Green supporting the club. Mike Fucito speaks for the team when he says
It means everything [to have that many fans]. We appreciate all the support all the time. When we see even 20 fans come down to Costa Rica or something like that, it gives us that extra boost that we may need to get through a tough time on the road. We know they'll be loud, we'll hear them and we'll try to use that to our advantage.
He also says that this team is prepared to play on any surface at any time, calling the surface down in Costa Rica "almost AstroTurf." While the fans in Vancouver get to end an era for their team against Seattle. Their home field advantage (4-3-5) won't be strong; they are still a much better team at Empire than on the road. But there is a lot of room for improvement.
The Whitecaps have had a rough season, making some personnel moves that can only be called baffling. There are some bright spots though with a few players who look to be special, a front office that is reworking its relationship with the Southsiders and players who just love their fanbase. They still though are a team that can't prevent the other from passing, shooting or scoring. They have a chunky attack that does not flow often enough.
Everything on paper says this should be a blowout. Paper doesn't play games, particularly not rivalry games. Vancouver can't make up the season by winning the next two and taking the first MLS Cascadia Cup, but it will mean a ton for them as they look forward to 2012. For Seattle it could be the first trophy in a rather special season.
The game is on KONG 6/16/106 and 97.3FM with Arlo White on the call at 7:30 PM

He connected with Montero well against Herediano in Costa Rica
With 2 assists on Montero’s 2 goals. Reminded me of year one. And Montero said he loves playing with him.
Had the nice one touch off the defender's arm at CLink against them too
Maybe we’ll get a PK if it happens again.
Vancouver made a mistake

Short as in "on a short leash?"
Or is he the guy likely to come off for Sigi’s regularly scheduled 60 minute sub?
Yeah, would rather have space beyond the ends than at the sidelines

Riley is superior defensively and technically

We're getting a new surface next year
It’ll probably be turf, but there’s a very small chance it’ll be grass, very small.
With all the non sporting events at CLink I'd have to agree
I’m a turf supporter for CLink, grass wouldn’t hold up unless some drastic changes to the schedule of events happened.

apparently so...
but not alone. He’s been very off and on, and touch continues to be poor. Losing out on some challenges he should win, and pointless late challenge there on Boxall cost a corner. Still, “average” game.

My point was that you were both right and both wrong to a degree
If a team is so damn good, everybody will hate them and everybody will love them, just depends on which camp you’re in or which viewpoint you’re taking.
If you’re a Yankees, Red Sox, Patriots, or Cowboys fan, everyone loves your team, you’re winners, you’re America’s team.
If you’re not a fan of whichever successful team is in question, everyone hates those teams, they spend too much, they’re gaudy, etc.
Apply it to “dynasties” in any sport, Yankees, Patriots, Lakers, Barca, United, etc.

Looks to be purely tactical decisions. one has 50% of minutes (Leo) the other has 48

side effect of early starts and CCL play
he’s been getting decent time thanks to fixture congestion, but if it came to discretionary minutes I’d say Wahl has still been getting them…
Leo is better in defense, but someone seems to like the crossing and attack of Wahl
because all he does is back up on defense, and his clearances are awful.
And Leo is starting to age a bit
So getting him rest might be a factor. He looks leaner this season too.
Thank you Scott.

Hard to say without an extensive runout
But he’s looked very good in the limited minutes so far.
Should be interesting to see what he shows in the last few games of the season.
Do we have protected spots available? I mean, our midfield takes up quite a few, as do our CBs, but I doubt OBW or Jaqua hows a spot, and Sigi likes a big guy in his system.

11 spots again probably and only 1 team picking
So we probably only lose 1, and if you’re worried about big guys we have 3, Jaqua, White, and Ochoa, but we’re so deep that we’re going to lose someone very valuable again.
