Agreed, especially not a side like Cavalry. Some of the guys did need to see playing time tho, especially Berhalter, Johnson, and Priso (please don't resign him next year). Though it feels like Gauld, Johnson and Utvik were the only ones taking this seriously.
As a former FC Edmonton fan, we know well the heartbreak of outplaying the Whitecaps only to be downed by a few lapses or a moment of brilliance from a player who is just a tier above the NASL/CPL level.
FCE should have had the win against Montreal in 2014. The penalty the ref gifted Montreal for their tie-winning goal was bullshit, the defender had his arm tucked by his side. The Impact would go on to win it and then qualify for the following Champions League, where they made it to the final
@@scottlow6342 Yep lol, the defender's hand was absolutely in a natural position, only way he could have avoided it was if he chopped his arms off. As a Whitecaps fan, it's what I mention when people give us shit for being the first MLS side to lose to a CPL side: nuh-uh, Montreal lost to FCE first! Hoping Edmonton gets a CPL team again, soon!
Holy heck that was a bad game for us. I suppose it's expected, playing guys who haven't played much like Priso, but our also heart wasn't in it. We expected to walk all over Cavalry (and we would've, had we put more effort in) but you can't let that happen. Vanni will have some choice words to say for sure.
@@appletree13 Agreed. I'm a Cavs fan and still the difference between the teams was noticeable but ridiculously so. To be expected of course. Still I enjoyed being at the game to watch it. These are great games for the Cavs.
good to see some of the caps who dont normally get playing time, however it almost cost us the game. cpl sides cant be underestimated.

100%
Bad positioning from boehmer on that goal. Had to be way more aggressive and put himself in front of the ball, not on the side

If you think CFC outplayed the Whitecaps last night you didn't see the match.
@@nickdoe7770 i remember watching that game we lost on a bullshit call

Its not the best version of Cavalry. CPL needa more intensity, more presure in defence.
The CPL in general needs a greater focus on defense.
This was Calgary’s best squad and Whitecaps’ second squad. There is still a large gap between CPL and MLS
No really?

Walk all over? Like how your Tim's Iced Capps walked all over Pacific a few years ago, eh?
@@TheWoollyFrog buddy I'm a pacific fan as well. besides, it's hard to compete with an _in-form_ mls squad.

@@cre8ivjay yeah! it was nice to see the Cavs play a stronger opponent, as it was to see the Caps 2nd rate guys play.
@@appletree13 Reserve players are not usually in-form but ok.
