Marcelo Bielsa: misunderstood genius or just a rich man's Sam Allardyce? Now that I got that out of my system, incredible stuff from Cabo Verde, which came after Iran, and Curaçao yesterday, and so on Teams I was worried about coming in, making this a truly memorable World Cup

Let's make Ecuador play Turkey just for comedy's sake #WorldCup

"jan6 juninho" lmao, probably the best nickname for him yet

I've generally appreciated the referees' efforts to let the fellas play in this World Cup, but man, some of the stuff ignored in the Mexico-Korea game... Korea had a guy literally pulled to the ground by his shirt in the last minute, no call I mean they obviously wouldn't have scored, but still

Japan actually start playing and almost immediately score a goal. Such a disappointing approach from them beforehand, showing too much respect to a Dutch team they are at the very least equal to. Hope they don't go back to that now #WorldCup

Folarin Balogun becoming the striker we thought he could become is so critical. We've never had a striker like him #usmnt

Fox News Figo playing an absolute blinder tonight #usmnt

not the only reason they lost but that was an all-time fuck-up by De'Aaron Fox; absolutely brain-dead stuff trying that shot with 10 seconds left

Today I learned old friend Alessandro Schöpf is going to the World Cup. How about that #vwfc

I don't think Thomas Müller had truly put his stamp on a game this year until tonight. And you can see what a difference it makes. As good as they've been this year, I always had a feeling there was another gear. That's the gear 8 points on this 5-game road trip, 11 in 6 road games this year #vwfc

This is of course the correct take. As annoying as a couple things were tonight, this happens It's also why it was so important to rack up all those points at home #vwfc

Isaac Boehmer you cannot let that one in man #vwfc

Yeah we're going to be fortunate to get out of this with a point #vwfc

I'm confused on why that's a red. Are we calling that a DOGSO from there? #vwfc

Houston is bad on the break, thankfully. Understandable given the schedule and travel but Vancouver has been loose and playing with fire with a few passes tonight #vwfc

Kenji Cabrera is not a winger. Kenji Cabrera is not a winger. Kenji Cabrera is not a winger. Kenji Cabrera is not a winger. Kenji Cabrera is not a winger. Kenji Cabrera is not... #vwfc

These road results and performances shouldn't be taken for granted. The difference between home and road in MLS is massive. To beat that Dallas team, midweek, is huge Five points in three road games against two (potentially three) playoff teams is Supporters Shield-winning stuff #vwfc #SaveTheCaps

Berhalter for Ballon d'Or fuck it #vwfc #SaveTheCaps

<looks around the MLS scores> Yup, it's midweek in MLS alright

Enjoy Seba while we can folks #vwfc #SaveTheCaps

Andres Cubas was immense tonight, one of his best games in a Caps uniform. Needed a 9/10 from him and he delivered; involved in the goal on top of the usual things he's great at San Jose deserves credit for their defending but I know which one of these teams I'd back for the Supporters Shield #vwfc

again #vwfc

An initiative from supporters encouraging fans of MLS teams to take part in a #SaveTheCaps demonstration this weekend. "If they are allowed to treat Vancouver as a disposable asset today, your city, your colours, and your history are already on the auction block for tomorrow."

What exactly did Müller catch? #vwfc #SaveTheCaps

Everything coming out about this World Cup is so gross and disappointing (albeit unsurprising because FIFA) It's being hosted in my home and adopted countries, I'm 15 minutes from a host stadium, and it's by far the least excited I've been for a World Cup since I started following the sport

these guys must have been Real Mad(rid) at each other

#SaveTheCaps #vwfc dailyhive.com/vancouver/ne...

This. Any decision that moves the team to Vegas wouldn't come for months. Tomorrow will either be decent news or more "we're continuing talks with the province." I really don't see it getting worse tomorrow #SaveTheCaps #vwfc

"Allowing the Whitecaps to move would also be a clear message to literally every other market that their team is not actually theirs." Many good points in this piece... It is so beyond dumb that we're even here #SaveTheCaps

I have to say it was very nice last night to forget about all the nonsense surrounding the 'Caps and just yell at the tv at every misplaced pass like a normal person #vwfc #SaveTheCaps

Not exactly the smoothest performance in attack, but the Whitecaps were one Takaoka boner away from three points on the road. Stellar performance by the back line Another impressive game for Tate Johnson. Genuinely maybe one of the top fullbacks in MLS Berhalter on set pieces is a cheat code #vwfc

Berhalter and Laborda on corners #vwfc

what was Yohei looking at there #vwfc

I would highly recommend anyone interested in the Whitecaps to read Patrick's reporting, if you're not already. Actual sourcing, a grounded perspective of the situation, and no hysteria or bullshit. #vwfc #SaveTheCaps

What are the odds Axel says "fuck this shit" and goes back to Europe this summer. I wouldn't blame him. #SaveTheCaps #vwfc

Forgot to switch to the burner

I don't have a high opinion of Don Garber (to put it diplomatically) but surely his account on the evil site was hacked? There's no way a 68-year old man in his position actually sat and typed that, surely? Still, fuck him #SaveTheCaps

Good. I was wondering what would happen with no more home games for three months. This is a great step; this needs to be as publicly seen as possible I wish I could be there, alas, I'll be getting two kids ready for school. I hope turnout is great and that there's plenty of noise #SaveTheCaps #vwfc

Sports imitates life: a cabal of super-rich making decisions for masses of people, with potential consequences beyond their understanding or caring. We cannot allow this. The Whitecaps belong in Vancouver, period. #SaveTheCaps #vwfc

Colorado is coming to BC Place on Saturday and they may be the best team the Whitecaps will have played this season. Very impressive possession game last night that looked a lot like... well, Vancouver If they're not zapped from playing Inter Miami and LAFC, Saturday will be a great game #vwfc

The Southsiders have launched savethecaps.com in an attempt to mobilize fans across MLS against the possible relocation of the Vancouver Whitecaps. #VWFC #SaveTheCaps

We may witness an all-time beatdown Friday night #vwfc

I, for one, have always loved the road goals rule

there were obvious other factors but it was no coincidence imo that Vancouver's worst stretch against Portland came right after Cubas went out; tonight he's suspended and, well... Larraz was fine and I think he can be a good piece for the Whitecaps but Cubas he is not (no slight against him) #vwfc

Loved seeing Berhalter crash toward the box for his goal. It was something he did so well last year until the Müller signing changed the tactics. If they can find a way for him to do that every so often, that's another weapon Also, Portland is not a serious club, still employing Phil Neville #vwfc

If a new stadium in Vancouver doesn't work out, we'll just take Providence Park. It's been the Whitecaps' home the last three years already #vwfc

My favourite thing about watching the Whitecaps so far this season is how difficult they are to play against They press aggressively. If you get past that, you have Cubas waiting for you. If you manage to get past him, you get Blackmon and Priso and in-form fullbacks. And then there's Yohei #vwfc
