TFC remakes its roster and gets Vancouver’s hometown hero 14 Jul 2011 On Thursday, TFC made two major deals — drastically remaking the roster. The Reds acquired Terry Dunfield, who scored against TFC on opening day at Empire Field, from the Vancouver Whitecaps for allocation money and future considerations. Dunfield, who was the lone Vancouverite in the regular ‘Caps lineup, didn’t start in the the team’s most recent match, a loss at Colorado.
Harvey trade suggests more Whitecaps’ deals to come 8 Jul 2011 Unless the trade that sent left back Jordan Harvey to Vancouver on Thursday isn’t the first of many dominoes to fall for either the Whitecaps or Philadelphia Union (or both), this deal makes no sense.
TFC makes it three in row with NCC triumph over the Whitecaps 2 Jul 2011 Make it three for Toronto FC. The Reds recorded a 2-1 win over Vancouver Whitecaps FC Saturday in the second leg of the Nutrilite Canadian Championship final, giving TFC a 3-2 aggregate victory in the tournament and their third consecutive Voyageurs Cup.
Injury-ravaged TFC edges second-string Whitecaps 30 Jun 2011 Nick Soolsma's 54th-minute penalty kick cinched a 1-0 win for Toronto FC over the Vancouver Whitecaps on Wednesday night at BMO Field in a game that served as a dress rehearsal for Saturday's Nutrilite Canadian Championship final between these same two teams. At least, the Whitecaps saw it as a dress rehearsal. With several regulars left on the bench, it was clear that Vancouver was already looking ahead to the weekend.
Whitecaps’ lack of composure hurts in loss at Kansas City 26 Jun 2011 In Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Sporting Kansas City, the Whitecaps got out to a 1-0 lead, then fell completely apart, giving up two goals in eight minutes. The Caps recovered at halftime, but couldn’t find an equalizer in the second 45 minutes.
Whitecaps end 14-game winless run vs. Union 19 Jun 2011 It took 14 games to do it, but the Vancouver Whitecaps got their second win of the season. A stunning left-footed strike from defender Alain Rochat gave the Whitecaps a 1-0 lead over the Philadelphia Union just 11 minutes in, and it was good enough. The Whitecaps, owners of the third-worst defensive record in MLS, shut out a Philadelphia team Saturday that scored six times when it last crossed the border — when it routed Toronto FC at BMO Field.
Harmse waived by his hometown Whitecaps 10 Jun 2011 Kevin Harmse’s MLS comeback lasted all of 126 minutes. That’s how much game time the local midfielder saw with the Whitecaps before he was waived on Friday by the club.
Real Salt Lake dominates possession in win over the Whitecaps 5 Jun 2011 The Vancouver Whitecaps were unfortunate to have to face Real Salt Lake at Rio Tinto Stadium the game after the Utah-based squad registered its first loss at home in two years. The result was a 2-0 loss at the hands of RSL in lacklustre fashion. "Today it just wasn't good enough in so many aspects of the game,” said coach Tom Soehn.
Another draw for Whitecaps, another red for Hassli 2 Jun 2011 Now, the key words are “tackle” and “attempt,” as it looked like, while late, Hassli actually made minimal contact with Zemanski. But, that could only be determined after looking at a couple of slow-motion replays. Salazar didn’t have that luxury, and should not be judged by them. In real time, Hassli came in very late, very fast, and looked to come through the player.
Dunfield says it was “difficult” to hear about Thordarson’s firing 31 May 2011 “It was sort of a surprise to me a little bit,” said Dunfield after the national team practice Tuesday morning at BMO Field. “It’s difficult when you see not only a good manager, but a good person lose his job. But it’s important we move on from that now.”
