UnkNuk Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 So Houston takes a 2-0 lead in the first half. Then the Whitecaps score 3 in the early part of the second to take a 3-2 lead. Then Houston score 2 more in the latter part of the second half and win the game 4-3. Gotta love MLS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ahh didn’t realize they played again so soon that makes sense then. Seems like there was a lot of Wrexham fans there that got their monies worth at least. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted July 31 Share Posted July 31 LAFC 2 Vancouver 2 (Whitecaps win 4-2 on penalties) The Whitecaps never make it easy on themselves. They took an early two goal lead. Berhalter scored a beauty from distance and then made a great corner kick that Veselinovic headed home. From there, the Caps played a great game - disciplined, calm, in control. Until the last five minutes or so. Former Whitecap Kei Kamara broke through the Caps defense and headed home a goal that gave LAFC new energy. However, in the last minute of play, Levonte Johnson got a clear run at goal and kicked what looked like the insurance goal and just missed by inches. And, of course, LAFC came charging back down field and scored the tying goal with almost no time left. And just for good measure, Vanni got a red card questioning whether LA's second goal was offside. However, all was not lost. Leagues Cup games don't end in draws. So they went to shootouts and Vancouver won those 4-2. Boehmer played this game and it should be noted he played well - making some tough saves during the game and in the shootout. Whew! Entertaining game, though. Berhalter was justly named Man of the Match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnkNuk Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Sorry to see him go.

UnkNuk Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 The Whitecaps Leagues Cup game against Tijuana on Saturday is on TSN at 7pm. If the Whitecaps win or if the game is tied after 90 minutes, the Caps advance to the knock-out round. If Tijuana wins in regulation, the Caps are out of the tournament.

UnkNuk Posted August 4 Share Posted August 4 Whitecaps 3 Tijuana 1 Whitecaps had a sluggish first half which saw Tijuana jump out to a 1-0 lead. But with a couple of subs the Caps were a different team in the second with goals coming from Fafa. Johnson and Vite to secure a place in the round of 32. They'll meet Mexican side Pumas in that round. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's out of the picture when the goal is scored but if you watch the lead up to the goal he's closest to the end line. My guess is he's the one who kept the LA player onside.
