2021 Whitecaps

[PV]

Nort directly on topic, but I but I watched Bluejays play in Seattle yesterday, with the air full of smoke from forest fires. whitecaps are better off because the club can close the bc place roof.

Or they are better off because they can just moves their home game to Utah

There wasnt any smoke in seattle

Go to Google and search "Seattle Air quality index" and you will discover that Seattle Air is full of smoke from the forest fires. The sportsnet reporters didn't report that fact.

I like that Gauld kid. Showed well tonight.

 

[Dude]

I caught from minute 50 onward...yeah, he's a player and complements our Columbians well. Very quick, gets stuck in, and no messing about with play acting. Very likeable so far.

It bothers me that White finished that goal last night. He's just such a shitty player, and although there is one argument that production should be rewarded, I feel the only two good things he did all half that I saw was finish a run, and get is body on the right side of a sitter, all off the back of some great work conducted by Gauld. Kinda like how they reward RT for making a forward pass every 8 matches.

Wow.

If I'm reading this right, the club has some huge increases coming up over the next 5 years to finish out current lease...

really unfortunate Kerfoot wasn't allowed to build his own stadium, but even more frustrating is the fact that a replacement for BC Place wouldn't have cost significantly more than what they ended up spending to give it an "intimate atmosphere"...

Huge increase % wise yes, but in reality isn't it still a good deal?

Here are some #s for NFL team rentals...

Stadium and rent details for all 32 NFL teams

What do NFL teams pay in rent? How much did their stadiums cost to build? We have the details.

www.reviewjournal.com

Anywhere from $450k - $3mill per season, and I would guess they have about half the number of home matches as an MLS team...

How this isn't 5 nil at the half is beyond me.

Shocking performance at this point.

 

[Dude]

How bad is White?

 

[PV]

How bad is White?

As bad as 7 other starters tonight.

 

[Dude]

Then White does that. FFS.
Great follow up run by Gauld. Looks like a guy used to scoring.

 

[Dude]

Baldi looking lost.

 

[Regs]

White 1 TTP 0

 

[Dude]

…..and Baldi goes and does that.

I think I need to be criticizing players on TTP more often.

 

[Gurps]

My pvr cut off with a few mins left... so not sure what baldy did well?

From what I saw he looked slow again and made some bad turnovers. Again not showing in the middle at all.

The last goal was a cross from Raposo to Gauld was that what you were referring to @Dude ?

That wasnt baldy who set up the last goal.

Like i said pvr cut out so perhaps he did something magical in extra time.

 

[Regs]

I think @Dude was rattled by the whole White episode... Baldi didn't do anything other than jog around

 

[Dude]

And add a nice assist on the winner. But otherwise ran around lost.

 

[Dude]

Wait, was that Raposo? Ah. So my powers don’t work?
