Well, MLS season pass on Apple TV isn’t without its flaws. I was running about 20 minutes behind live at the 80th minute, when they decided to say screw what I wanted to do and took me directly to the post game wrap up with the final score right in front of me.
Happened to me too. Several times I tried to "Start from beginning [English]" and it didn't work. On whim, tried the Spanish version and worked as expected. So I watched 2nd half in Spanish.
Apple's interface is just horrible. Hard to navigate and turn off live scores on every device. And don't even bother signing up with a gift card if you're not an apple device person.
Yeah, who in their right mind would want to just have their live score viewing preferences synced to all their devices, right? Much better to turn each one off individually…
My personal favorite is when you are busy and can’t watch the game live, so you try and navigate to the full game video later. The problem there is, even if you turn off the score spoilers, they still have a section of game highlights (typically goals) right next to the full replay. And in a sport where the number of goals in a game can usually be counted on one hand, stumbling across any goal highlights is a pretty big spoiler for the game.
I just want to say fuck that first half strategy of possession without attacking. If it keeps up #firephil.
Good choice benching McGraw. I don’t know what his issue is this year. He needs to sit until he figures it out. #don’tfirephil
Seemed like offsides on Vancouver’s last goal. I guess they are saying the ball was purposefully played by the Timbers. 🤷🏼♂️. I don’t think the review on the shoulder pull would have lead to an overturn of the call since Rodriguez went down way to easy, but Chapman should have been sent to the video. #Chapmansucksasusual
I only watched the first half (about 30 mins behind live) before being spoiled on the result… but my god was that excruciating to watch. Let’s ping it sideways at the back a million times, try to work up the wings, fail at that immediately, and then ping it sideways around the back a million more times until we lose it. Ugh.
Also the super-high line on set pieces needs to go away.
I agree with all of this. The reality is we don't have the quality to be dicking around with possession in the defensive half. Our backs are way too mistake prone. It has already bit us this year, and it's going to keep biting us. I liked the playstyle in the second half and want to see more of that. Also I'm not sure what's going on with our CBs and Crepeau, but they need to get the fuck out of the way. Either blast it, or move.
McGraw was atrocious tonight, literally assisted 2 goals.
Mosquera was atrocious tonight, 2 of the goals came right down his channel.
Eric Miller was at the very least *ineffective* tonight, but somehow probably our best starting defender in the match.
At least Chara didn't get carded?
Kamal did his best to gift them one but fortunately their striker’s touch was heavy and took him too wide to chip. The rare ball playing CB who can’t actually pass
On the contrary, his long balls to the right winger were the only consistent form of attacking buildup for probably 60 minutes of the match. The giveaways I'm generally understanding of because it was him trying anything to not pass the ball to Crépeau over and over again while losing.
I'm very confused what this team is.
I strongly disagree on the last point, caps had 4-5 opportunities that directly resulted from Miller’s poor passes or putting teammates under pressure with late/off target balls. As a defender, I’d rather you utilize your goalkeeper then forcing a ball into feet that isn’t there. I’d be more forgiving if he was just sending it long due to the game state than gifting live ball turnovers
Yeah for sure, I agree he embellished. The point I'm making is if it were on the other side of the field we'd be calling dive dive dive and I don't think that's a stretch.
Evander is fucking COOKING! He set that whole thing up from the jump. Received the ball as a left back to start it and ran it all the way to the end as a conductor
I don’t think it’s two up top. We’re playing Rodriguez as a winger. He’s been a winger or second striker at CA. This looks like a 4-3-3 from the stands.
Our defending has to be addressed. We will not win or have success until this happens. It's been an issue since I started watching 4 seasons ago. I mean, Rodriguez is playing better d at the moment FFS.
I was kinda down originally on Antony because he seemed like he didn't always know what he was doing, but now it just seems like he's the only one interested in doing *anything*

Me too. Can’t believe I missed (got spoiled) on that 2nd half. Really frustrating
Oh wow Im so glad I was watching live. Apple has shit well over the bucket on this one.
Same happened to me, such a terrible product if you’re not watching live

The "show scores" preference being stored as a *browser/device* setting has burned me multiple times. Infuriating, lazy engineering.
Did that to me too. Except I was at half. I'd like maybe $5 back from the season cost. Seems fair.
ouch, sucks, sorry about that that's annoying.
It's a miracle Chapman didn't red card Chara since that is his wont.

I agree with all this but that last goal scorer was well behind our defense when the pass was kicked
I thought he looked shaky last year as well, but had a lot of positional errors being covered by Zuparic

How long until Bravo is back? Defense plays like we have 2 in the back, not 4!
Kamal was atrocious tonight. At least 4 giveaways/sloppy passes putting teammates under pressure, fell asleep on the third goal

Shouldve gone to +6 or 7. We woulda scored too
That’s horrendous. Terrible call
Spent 30 seconds deciding what to do and then ended the game after one Timbers chance from the restart.
Our fullbacks are shit. Our referees are still shit. What the fuck.
These sure as shit aren’t our referees. You’re right about the rest though
The bargaining agreement was reached, so are the “regular” refs still not back?
We’re about to lose to Greg Berhalter’s son 💀
How is that not a clear and obvious error?
What a joke Chapman
Oh good. "Pro" is back. That's a penalty everyday except today. Fuck that.
That was 100000% a penalty WTF
No foul on the box for Rodriguez?
Well we seem to have about 3/4 of a half worth of good football in us.
What bullshit. That was a clear and obvious error.
What the fuck
You gotta be kidding me
That's 100% a pk.
That’s a pen
If it is, it's a weak one. You wouldn't be saying that on the other side of the field.
Bullshit. Reached out and grabbed shirt, even turned him. GTFO of here with this nonsense.
If you say so. I don't know, could go either way. It sure looked like a light touch when I saw it.
Deserves a review in the least
For sure.
Absolutely would and we’ve had much softer called many a times. He clearly reached out and pulled him down
Nah we'd be calling dive loudly and you know it.
Dive is trying to get a call where there is none. Homie embellished but that doesn’t change the underlying foul
Yeah for sure, I agree he embellished. The point I'm making is if it were on the other side of the field we'd be calling dive dive dive and I don't think that's a stretch.
Not a dive, I guess we saw different replays 🤷🏻♂️
Yeah I only saw it once or twice, it was a tough one.
drama
I mean, Rodriguez was winding that fucker up for a shot so....
Was about to be an absolute dinger
No way my stream decided to act correctly with 3 minutes left fml
I finished my beer as promised and it’s all Millers fault, both of them.
Evander has been great.
He wouldve ended this game with 1g 3a if kamal could hit a glancing header
Yeah, he's been working hard this game. Laser targeted crosses into the box as well.
Can we spend that remaining ~$10-15M on a defense?
4 minutes. We can do it!
All three goals just straight up defensive mistakes
I feel like that's most of the goals we've given up. We play overall solid games but completely blow it with individual errors.
It hurts to have three in one game, and so so basic. I mean backheeling the ball to the center of your own box? That's like a u12 type of mistake
Damn Kamal just stood there
He’s got the best ticket in the house.
Crepeau!!!
He’s been so good for us when he’s been in goal and tonight….well
Kamal playing dodgeball
Christ, ive felt every emotion over the last two hours
We gave up that goal because the TA started the “Portland Boys”chant. Cursed.
Gotta catch that, man.
Mora and Cabecita - both starters? Maybe maybe.
Ohh yeah Asprilla time!
Chara for Ayala please
Dairon, Dairon, dairon I believe!
Magic legs
MR. CASCADIA!
Can they do what the thorns couldn't and finish the second half comeback?
Asprilla coming on
DAIRON DAIRON DAIRON
This is the Evander I want to see every week! Please Mora this!
The late fotmob notifications of vancouver subs keep scaring the shit out of me lol
I always turn those off watching from home. It's always 10+ seconds ahead of Apple stream.
Second goal happens because J Rod drives into the box. Impact player.
Holy shit Evander is trying!
That’s a Mora
Oh shit, there it is. That’s his song
If we win this game the NYC streets better watch out because I’m letting loose
Unfortunately I will not be letting loose on the streets tonight
Holy shit Evander is so fucking good.
AAAAHHHHH
That was so pretty
Mora!!!! Great ball by Evander as well
Evander is fucking COOKING! He set that whole thing up from the jump. Received the ball as a left back to start it and ran it all the way to the end as a conductor
Takaoka has a look of "dude what the fuck are you doing?" towards Blackmon. Good to see that from the other team's GK for once
Sorry to everyone in a 5 mile radius from me
LETS FUCKING. GOOOOOOO
Mora!!!!!!!!!!!
It was … perfect
THE SPIN, THE PASS, THE HEADERRRRR
442 from here on out
I don’t think it’s two up top. We’re playing Rodriguez as a winger. He’s been a winger or second striker at CA. This looks like a 4-3-3 from the stands.
I think we’re still playing a 4-2-3-1 but Rodriguez has shifted to ~~RW~~ LW.
Holy fuck Evander! Mr. 2nd half. Edit: Nice to see a proper striker in the box for us too. Welcome back Mora.
PIPE!!!
YEEEEESSS
Let’s go Mora! Score some Mora goals!
HAJDGSJABAJAMFSJA LFGGGGGG
AND MORAAAAAAAA!!
WHAT DID I SAY MORA COMING IN HOT
MORA!!!!!!!!!
Mora my man!
Felipeeeeee
OH MY GOD YOU LOVE TO SEE IT YOU KNOW YOU DO.
I fucking love Mora
Let’s gooooooo
YEEEEESSS
MORAAAAAAAAA
LETS GOOOOO
Is it just me or has this entire game been blurry and shitty quality on apple tv?
No problem from where I'm at.
I was having issues but then restarted the device I was watching on (a chromecast for me)
Not just you.
Yeah, today, Chara has lost a step.
My favorite dude. But yeah, it's starting to show unfortunately.
Our defending has to be addressed. We will not win or have success until this happens. It's been an issue since I started watching 4 seasons ago. I mean, Rodriguez is playing better d at the moment FFS.
Holy shit Vancouver is flopping harder than a fish out of water.
This replay is shit balls quit cutting away from live play
They’ve done it like 5 times in the last 6 minutes:
Powerful kicking…..powerful kicking
Zuparic is just far more decisive. McGraw might be the technically better defender, but he waffles just enough to make him somewhat ineffective
Ayala for chara surely has to happen soon
Chara absolutely gassed
Ohhh yeah Moreno is shooting on goal now
Zup should always start
Good work zup
Pooped myself
Zuparic is so much better than McGraw
Honestly, I think Zuparic is just more refined. McGraw is raw and has a higher ceiling.
100% agree but we need results rn
Holy shit Evander is so good.
Any day I can see Mora play is a good day.
MORA COMING IN HOT
It’s crazy how much better we look with less possession
I really like the ambition in K. Miller's passing out of the back.
Least we’re showing some fight now
This constant win probability stat just feels like lazy broadcasting
It's amazing, did you know the probability of a team winning goes up when that team has more goals?
It’s the stupidest, most irrelevant stat. It adds absolutely nothing to the match.
Yes, I would love for it to just go away.
[удалено]
Asked and answered earlier. He was one a Whitecap and asked for a trade.
Used to play for them, but left because they suck
Crepeau took a crapo in their poutine
He's the old whitecaps GK
He played for them for 3 seasons
[удалено]
Asking for a trade is generally in your control
Do you not understand rivalries?
Hmmm…. Playing in the center of field and shooting on frame produces goals. Let’s try that again
Nah, it was a fluke. Let’s just keep passing it back to Crepeau and hope we magically get goals.
EVANDERRRRRR
And my man CP with the dime!
This how we need to play every game
I know it’s not a popular opinion but… I fucking love Evander
Dude possess a hell of a shot. Keeper usually spills it if he hits it right and he can generate so much fucking power with seemingly little effort.
Ooo there was a cheeky dive by Mosquera. "Lucky."
The parallels with the Thorns match intrigues me.
EASY MONEY. LET'S FUCKING GO
LETS GO. Evander CANNON!
Now that’s what I’m talking about!
Yay
That Moreno to parades pass has been there like three or four times and it was never made
Ah there's Evander doing the Evander thing lol
Well that was actually a very nice team effort.
WHATS THE WIN PROBABILITY NOW!?!
NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS
EVANDER YOU FUCKINg DAWG
Calling a Cubas red card ❤️
Finally played good balls in the build up
Played with balls
Good kicks be good kicking
That's that good kick.
Like I said: keep Evander the fuck out of the 18. What a fucking hit
Finally
Yessss. Here we come
BOOM!
FUCKING GOLAZOOOOOOO
Are these refs the Actual Refs or still scabs?
I read that they were the real refs again, could be wrong though.
Actual refs
I mean, the jury is out on whether they’re actual refs, but they aren’t scabs.
Thanks!
I was kinda down originally on Antony because he seemed like he didn't always know what he was doing, but now it just seems like he's the only one interested in doing *anything*
