GDT: 2012 Whitecaps Thread IV (0-0 draw)

The Image used for the First kick Tifo

The biggest problem with these is that the SS have no control over the whole section like the GA end for the TA...It's really hard to coordinate complicated displays with people who bought tickets from ticketmaster and sit among the rest of the SS.

Watching Timbers v Union on MLS Live free preview. Timbers fans putting us to shame easily. I need to make the trip this year.

GO UNION!!

This is bang on. Salgado is the same age as many grade 12 students playing with men who've played all over the world.

Anyone know what Hassli was doing at 18. (without google and a decent understanding of french?)

One thing people don't notice, Look at the very start of the video.

It was Hassli's crazy backcheck and steal that started that play

Off the top of my head, he was in the Metz system? (I did look it up at some point in the past).

Looks like he was still playing for ASF 93, his local club. Level 6 of the French pyramid now, so probably somewhere around the PDL level.

Wow if TFC flukes their way to the CCL semi-finals...

[Lucbourdon]

1-1 tfc/LA

Own goal for tfc LoL

[Lucbourdon]

Holy crap 2-1 TFC

btw I want frings on the whitecaps, the guy dominates the field.

[metric]

Wow, TFC goes back up again and now have equal away goals.

[*Injektilo]

Johnson has been a great acquisition for them.

Isn't it great to think that Terry Dunfield is about to play in the semi-finals of the CCL? If it's any consolation, they'd get crushed by Santos Laguna.

[metric]

Both would get crushed the way LA's D has been playing. Wish we had LA early in the season with the form they have right now.

Something TFC do have are two fantastic keepers though. I'll give them that.

[Lucbourdon]

wow what a save for tfc

[Lucbourdon]

I am shocked, wow TFC pulls it out.

frings is a monster

[metric]

Great, so I get to hear guys like Craig Forrest giving TFC a **** *** for another couple weeks. Santos Laguna better **** these guys up like they did the Sounders.

A MLS record 2.5 million watched some or all of the Van - Mon game in Canada

If you guys go to a game... Please cheer. You don't have to go all South Sider but let's not making this like RA.

[metric]

Mexican sides (minus Morelia who were playing against another Mexican club) are running roughshod over the competition in Champions League. TFC better have the lube ready.

Agreed 100%.

Even just raising your scarf at the opening ceremony increases the atmosphere by that much. Even if you don't know what to yell, just yell.

[KDizzle]

Looks fun... but it could get messy with drinks in hand

[metric]

It could look good as long as the entire stadium does it. They'll have to put that video up pre-game (I'm sure they will). Southsiders will play a big factor in whether or not this catches on and they're not exactly all on board with the idea.

I made it to the opener and sat in with the Southsiders and what a great time it was. I knew a couple songs from going a couple matches last year (boundary road, i believe, dynamite etc). Picked up a song sheet and will do my best to be able to sing them all next match

Great atmosphere and a great match, cheers.

I know that there is a general Toronto hate, and the deserve it to some extent. But lets remember Canadian soccer success in MLS leads to national success as it motivates young players to take soccer to the next level in Canada. At least that's what I think.
