👇This… #MLS #CanPL #VWFC #CFMTL
Les pros CPL qui sont aussi anti MLS sont vraiment les personnes les plus stupides. Les joueurs gradués des académies MLS représentent +- 1/3 à 1/2 des joueurs canadiens de la ligue. Enlève VWFC et #CFMTL et la CPL est une L1O/L1Q glorifiée avec quelques joueurs étrangers.

Not a surprise, but #CFMTL is now up for sale… Saputo showing emotion in his press conference… Will this galvanize investors in Quebec? #VWFC have been pursuing similar investment for some time… #MLS

HT: #VWFC need to show a bit more urgency after the break to get in front in this game… #CFMTL have the ability to surprise here on this goalless scoreline… #MTLvVAN #MLS

G50’ - Not many would have bet on Sabaly finding the scoresheet today, but the winger does well to convert his own rebound and put #VWFC into a valuable lead… Goal might open up the game… #CFMTL #MTLvVAN #MLS

G1’ - Well, that took about 56 seconds… White showing again his fine ability in the air to head home Caicedo’s far-post cross and delight this large @bcplace crowd on this sunny Sunday afternoon… In contrast, not a good way to start a ‘must win’ game for #SoundersFC #VANvSEA

G9’ - Gauld doubles the #VWFC lead, converting Ocampo’s pass after the Colombian shrugged off the attentions of Nouhou at left back… For a team needing to win, #SoundersFC have not yet appeared today… #VANvSEA #MLS

G24’ - An excellent time to score your first goal in #MLS and for #VWFC… Cvetković converts Laborda’s fine pass from close range to put the home side into a valuable lead… #VANvSDFC

G42’ - White finally returns to the scoresheet to hit the century mark of goals in his #MLS career with a fine header to Larraz’s far-post cross… #SDFC punished for cheaply losing possession in their own third and allowing #VWFC to double their advantage… #VANvSDFC

My questions to #VWFC Head Coach Jesper Sørensen tonight… #COLvVAN #MLS #Rapids96
"We need to find the rhythm of our play, and find that a little bit better than today." Jesper Sørensen Post-Match Reaction @ Colorado Rapids 🎙️ #VWFC
267
HT: Scrappy stuff from both sides… #VWFC still searching for a cutting edge in front of goal, while #Rapids96 have been wasteful with some really good chances… Hoping Sabbi’s ankle issue is not serious… #COLvVAN #MLS

G81’ - That was calamitous… Takaoka fails to tip the initial shot over the bar and Whittaker converts the rebound for #Rapids96… #VWFC have it all to do now… #COLvVAN #MLS

Well done #ForgeFC! A huge moment for the club and #CPLSoccer… A disaster of a season for #CFMTL… Tonight summed up their woes all year… #CanChamp
FOREVER FIRST. 🍁 Forge FC defeat CF Montréal to become the first #CPLsoccer team to WIN THE TELUS CANADIAN CHAMPIONSHIP AND LIFT THE VOYAGEURS CUP 🇨🇦 🏆

G40’ - A horrible mistake by Tate Johnson… His wayward back pass leads Uzuni converting for #AustinFC completely against the run of play… #VWFC were growing into this contest before the goal… Frustrating stuff… #ATXvVAN #MLS

HT: A lack of cutting edge in front of goal is hurting #VWFC right now. It could have turned Wednesday’s draw at #AllForCITY into a win, and it will be needed to turn around this game at #AustinFC. With #DTID winning in Houston, the #MLS West lead could be set to change #ATXvVAN

HT: #VWFC have come to play in the American Midwest… A shame their really good spell early on did not translate into a lead… #AllForCITY worked their way back into the contest we all expected to see tonight… Second half will be interesting… #STLvVAN #MLS

FT: Really good, competitive contest and fair result… #AllForCITY had more of the second half but Takaoka earned another clean sheet tonight… #VWFC stay top of the #MLS Western Conference standings, while St Louis take their unbeaten run to 19 in the league and 21 overall…

A morale-boosting performance by #VWFC to grind out a draw with ten men… #MLS playoff berth secured but a much-needed restoration of confidence after the let-down in Chicago during the week… Good to see trademark spells of quality passing and movement tonight… #LAFCvVAN

As for the hosts, it was a surprise to see #LAFC struggle to assert themselves in the second half after drawing level through Bouanga… Saw signs of fatigue in the Black and Gold, which is out of character for the way they have played in recent times… #LAFCvVAN #MLS

G29’ - Ellis converts a good break to put the #USMNT🇺🇸 in front against the run of play… Poorly dealt with by Laryea and the #CANMNT🇨🇦 backline…

G9’ - Meanwhile in Chicago… #cf97 with a fine opening goal from Bamba off his right foot… Takaoka well beaten… #VWFC #CHIvVAN #MLS

HT: #CANMNT🇨🇦 look comfortable and in control in this friendly versus Peru🇵🇪… Millar and Shaffelburg have combined well for the goals and Jebbison should also be on the scoresheet… Pleased to see Owen Goodman start in goal…

FT: Solid performance by #CANMNT🇨🇦 against an opponent currently in transition… Tuesday offers a much stiffer test in the #USMNT🇺🇸 in Minnesota…

G16’ - #DCUnited punishing a lethargic start to this game by #VWFC, as Nono scrambles the ball home from a corner that the Blue and White fail to clear… #VANvDC #MLS

G25’ - And there’s the reply… Caicedo using his pace to get to the #DCUnited end line and find White with a low cross… The sniper needed two takes to level matters… #VANvDC #VWFC #MLS

HT: #CANMNT🇨🇦 looking good in attack but a bit vulnerable at the back… #LaRoja🇨🇱 a bit unlucky to be down to ten men… A better exercise for this friendly to stay 11v11 for both sides IMO… Second half will be very different with changes coming…

227
FT: Scrappy and untidy, but #CANMNT🇨🇦 will take the result… The two #LaRoja🇨🇱 red cards affected this friendly as a contest… On to next weekend in Montreal for Marsch’s men…

Thoughts on #VWFC tonight… Excellent bounce-back performance by Sørensen’s men, with fine goals scored in the process… Diaby with a standout display… I like his pace and willingness to attack when in possession… Hoping Priso has not picked up anything serious… #RSLvVAN #MLS

PK 30’ - #CFMTL given a major gift to take the aggregate lead again from an awful FVS decision… Adekugbe is trying to challenge for the ball… Rios makes a meal of it… Will the goal open up the game? #MTLvVAN #CanChamp

G45’ - Seconds earlier, he could have been sent off… Now, Owusu makes it a brace to put #CFMTL in a commanding position to advance to the #CanChamp final… Poor defending by Laborda… Major task now for title holders #VWFC… #MTLvVAN

Brief summary on today’s #VWFC game: Defending was poor on the two Ramirez goals for #AustinFC and missed opportunities to at least earn a point… Yet, I find that Sørensen’s side run into forms of inconsistency when the schedule is as busy as it has been lately… #VANvATX #MLS

You could apply the above on all #MLS clubs of late, with all the games scheduled in such short spaces of time in the past couple of weeks… #VANvATX

G8’ - Much like what #VWFC fans saw against #DTID last month, the home side get out of the blocks fast and take the lead through fine execution by White, with Müller and Gauld involved in the buildup… #LAGalaxy not yet settled into this contest… #VANvLA #MLS

SUB 27’ - Disappointing to see Müller leave the action this early, especially when his attacking chemistry with Gauld and White was the sharpest seen yet… Sabaly replaces him… #VANvLA #MLS #VWFC #LAGalaxy
