I get the feeling the Caps are much more interested in a berth into the Concacaf Champions league than they/we are in getting an MLS result tomorrow --- the BIG game is definately Saturday!
I'm very cool with that!
I thought the Caps were by and large the better team on the park last night, especially in the second half. Defending was a major challenge in the first half: How bad was that turnover by Knight!? wow...
I really want to see a top quality (for MLS) Central Midfield. I thought Vagenas played quite well last night. Wagner has GOT TO GO!
Thank God I was working though, and was able to PVR the game and watch it late last night with the FF button for most of the first half.
On the PK Call, wtf was Janicki thinking about when he fouled Soulsma where he did!? he was no threat on goal in that position and he hit him twice without coming into the same area code as the ball ffs...
The Canadian Women's National team would have poop pumped both these squads last night. Whitecaps should sign Sinclair.
As far as the NCC Championship goes - I agree that it's a Mickey Mouse Cup to win.
But - at the risk of sounding like Captain Obvious - the prize is a spot in next years Concacaf Champions League. As far fetched as it sounds - but winning THAT means a spot in the World Club Champioships verse a club like Barcelona etc. - just saying - I think that's the big picture thing going on here.
And yes, I know in light of recent play putting Barca and the Caps in the same sentence is quite laughable.... but.
