Really? "too honest"?

I liked that play by Richards to stay on his feet. Gave him a good lane towards the net.

Cool ! I got a tsn 2 stream.

Are the Sounders the biggest rivals of the Whitecaps ?

Kenny miller is absolutely finding zero chemistry with anybody, I don't wanna give a opinion on his skill set just yet, but I have not seen anything special so far.

You need to calm down a bit with your instant reactions to everything. Are you like this impatient with everything? A strike partnership isn't formed in one game, or three or even ten. Sometimes it never happens, but I've seen more than enough in this game to think that a Miller-Mattocks partnership will work. They need to get used to playing together and figuring out what the other one will do. That takes time.

Also, this is the first time I can remember seeing Miller play in this role. He usually leads the line, but I've been surprised how well he's taken to it considering.

I hate to say it, but that was bad goalkeeping. Needed to stay big there instead of throwing himself down. Probably wouldn't have got it in any case. As an ex-gk myself, it's always the first thing I look at but I usually don't say anything. The defending wasn't great by any stretch, but he made himself so small by throwing himself down at the moment of the shot that he was covering the only part of the goal that the defender was blocking off..

Talk about a over reaction

I was just saying he is lacking chemistry so far.

You're not.

First Caps game I'm missing all season and it sounds like a great one. Hopefully we can pull it out late.

Yeah, I saw that in the MLS salary document that I found somewhere. I was surprised that Mattocks was on so little (20k or 40k a year, can't remember which). My provincial Scottish team pays wages bigger than that.

My feed just collapsed.

EDIT: While I was getting it back the caps scored. What was it like?

Mattocks is a monster tho, He works so hard, extremely fast, but his strength is very solid.

Can mattocks leave the caps next year?, or does he have to stay a few years due to his contract and draft status?
