This game was so awesome. My friends and I were sitting about 10-15 feet to the left of the center line at the very top of the lower bowl, practically right under the TV camera. Thanks to the early chances at both ends and real end to end play the atmosphere inside the stadium was awesome all game and the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th whitecaps goals were amazing. The buildup play to the 4th goal was totally outrageous, too bad the highlight package doesn't show all of it cuz I really wanted to watch it all again, started with Morales casually hitting a perfect ball out to the wing and then 5-6 stepovers and 1 huge dragback later the ball was cut back to Morales to finish it. Everybody was in in total awe of Morales, the new signing from Malaga. He came on in the 65th and showed that he was by far the best player on the field in only 25 minutes. He got the assist for the 3rd and then started and finished the move for the 4th. What a player! I know this is a little late considering the game was on Saturday but I was in no condition to write anything until now Awesome roadtrip xD | ||

Also, NY w/o Henry is just meh. Overall though, Vancouver just has a very good mix of youth and experience. They look fast and dangerous. Their new South American players adds a touch of class. Teibert seems to be progressing nicely. If Mattocks would learn to finish... Laba was a great acquisition from Toronto. Can't believe no one else looked at him?!? Basically got him for free. My biggest problem with Vancouver is their turf. I know they'll never get grass because of the roof in BC Place but can they at least install better turf? Any info on this Zero? Even with the downpour in Portland this past weekend, the ball held up much more nicely. | ||

Even with the downpour in Portland this past weekend, the ball held up much more nicely. Well the Whitecaps share BC Place with the BC Lions (CFL) and the Lions sell more tickets so they probably won't change the turf unless the Lions want an upgrade as well. I was surprised at how good the Whitecaps were actually. I don't usually follow MLS at all so I had no idea what to expect in terms of skill and the level of play was a lot higher than I thought it would be. NY was pretty rubbish all over the park but they probably just had a bad night and missed Henry. I guess I'll have to admit that the MLS isn't as bad as the stereotypes claim. My mates and I are already planning another trip down in the near future to see another match. It's only a ~4-5 hour drive from our town to the stadium in downtown Van so it makes for a fun weekend. | ||

The team's exciting and would be even more fun to watch if the ball just held up a little bit more. I missed most of the match for DC-CLB. Can't believe I started to follow the league once DC started to suck. ughhh. In terms of level of play, it's still incredibly early but it looks better than last years. Maybe everyone was right and Martin Rennie was a bad coach. Don't know, didn't follow them closely last year. May have to change that if they continue to play this way. I believe you played a 4-2-3-1 (?) and your midfield just dominated NY's. Would make sense with Laba + Coker. Nice pair there. Your midfield is just stacked. Manneh didn't even touch the field, I don't think. | ||

Trabzonspor supporters started to swearing from first minute and threw random stuff to pitch. ![[image loading]](http://kralspor.ensonhaber.com/resimler/Screenshot_7_5.jpg) Someone threw door handle to Fenerbahce's GK Volkan Demirel.(LOOOOOOOL how do you even get that shit inside of stadium) ![[image loading]](http://im.htspor.com/2014/03/10/928531_e4761cb8f602707e2e5fbb2e0cf70b67_640x640.jpg) Fenerbahce's left back Caner Erkin trying to corner kick while 7-8 policemans protecting him. Trabzonspor's supporters destroying wires ![[image loading]](http://im.htspor.com/2014/03/10/928531_85b1d81f61cfa239391845b832607a21_640x640.jpg) ![[image loading]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BiZOI2lCMAAThAt.jpg) They actually tried to threw it on Volkan Demirel LOOOOOL. Later Fenerbahce's Emenike scored and Volkan Demirel: ![[image loading]](https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BiZChFjCAAADXVs.jpg:large) Guess what happened? He just made Trabzonspor supporters even more mad. ![[image loading]](http://im.htspor.com/2014/03/10/928531_1cb00da2848f3605e33ab0b4088e7314_640x640.jpg) Furthermore https://vine.co/v/MqQa76g0K9L Supporters got even more crazy after Emenike dives. Later refeeree stopped the game and postponed to future date. Q: Why Trabzonspor supporters hate Fenerbahce? A: Because Fenerbahce stole Trabzonspors championship with match-fixing in 2010-2011 season. Our fucktard association still havent done even though UEFA confirmed Fenerbahce's match fixing. This drives Trabzonspor supporters crazy. And of course Fenerbahce supporters act like they won league without match fixing and saying things like " fuck off, its our championship" and shit. As far i know Fenerbahce players still in Trabzon's stadium as Trabzonspor's supporters are waiting for them on outside loool. | ||

Its more a cultural thing. | ||

Generally speaking, Turkish people are maniacs for football and their favorite teams.(im not one of them, i just like my favorite team :3). Derby games here in Turkey are so thrilling. People discuss the match even though one week or two week passes. Trabzonspor fans are completely crazy though, They're like the most dangerous supporters in Turkey. | ||

![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/WmDDiBb.jpg) It appears (not confirmed) that Sporting is close to bringing Antonio Rodríguez Dovale, aka Toni in on loan from Celta Vigo in the Spanish first division. Last week Vermes confirmed they were interested in Toni and there have been several reports out of Spain that said Toni was headed to Kansas City. Over the weekend a source told me that Toni was in Kansas City but it is not a source I knew very well and could not confirm so we did not say anything at the time. Source | ||

Turkish fans are nuts, but I wish their clubs would have more international success. It's always a pleasure to watch games where the whole stadium shakes from cheering and singing like there's no tomorrow. | ||

![[image loading]](http://doentesporfutebol.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Figo-cochinillo_15_original.jpg) In other news: Benfica is playing AWESOME! (as usual), but they won't play the usual starters on White Heart Lane, so don't expect a free win to Benfica. And Europa League is pretty much the last hope for Tottenham, so they will play their hearts out for sure. Carrega Benfica! | ||

definitely the best keeper for the last few and probably upcoming years what this highlight doesnt even show: his amazing ability to make the game fast and play accurate passes almost as well as the worlds best play makers bonus: he can throw balls as far as some amateur players can not even shoot them | ||

Neuer is good but i don't think he is the best. The games vs Chelsea as well all be it only 2 of them have happened he didn't look good during those :s Cech on the other hand.... xD | ||
