It was a great game to be at GO CAPS!!SammyGreene wrote:Congrats to the Whitecaps on a big win last night and further proof how narrow the gap is between the USL and the MLS. Barring Toronto FC coming up with a 4-0 road win in Montreal (still think it should be total aggregate in head-to-head games only as the tiebreaker), the Caps will represent Canada in the CONCACAF champions league.
Well done!
Also nice to see this game being played up more in the morning paper instead of the Stanley Cup finals and that's the way it should be.
Agreed. with his actions Charles Gbeke can go from hero with 2008 championship MVP to zero with his actions in his last game. That reminds me of Patrick Roy yelling at his coach in Montreal in December 1995. It's unfortunate, but there's a good chance that Gbeke will be traded soon.Rammer wrote:Watching two Whitecaps get ejected although at different times all over a missed 2 on 1 play while up 3 - 1 has to be a first for me. Hilarious in that Charles gets red carded for jawing and pushing with Gbeke (sp), as he called Gbeke for a failed 2 - 1 and Gbeke didn't take kindly to it. A Miami free kick later and it is a one goal game, in the 89th minute. Gbeke is pulled and he promptly boots a water bucket and is given his second yellow card of the match and is ejected from the bench. Now is it just myself, or could the Whitecaps sold additional tickets to that locker room reunion vs watching the remainder of the game. I have to say that it will be interesting paper reading tomorrow.
talk about a scam !That was disappointing to say the least, but with the format and the situation that Montreal found itself in, they deemed it a nothing game and played an unrecognizable lineup. Shameful for the Caps to play as well as they had and have zero showing for it. The game now between Montreal and Vancouver may become a little more intense due to this decision. I can't believe that Montreal would do that to their paying customer, at least that is what I had hoped going into the TO/Montreal match.footy wrote:So no champions league for the Whitecaps as the deciding game between Toronto FC and Montreal ended up to be a total sham as Montreal bent over and allowed Toronto to score 6 goals and thus winning on goal differnce

Afraid so. Apparently for the team, despite his contributions to the 2008 championship, maintaining good behavior is more important than good performance.bclions16 wrote:NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! Not Wesley Charles!
Watch the final two minutes of this clip if you want to see the altercation between Charles and Gbeke, as well as Gbeke's undisciplined behavior at the sidelines.Rammer wrote:Watching two Whitecaps get ejected although at different times all over a missed 2 on 1 play while up 3 - 1 has to be a first for me.
