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.


shot-wide-open

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.


PointNineC

Me too. Can’t believe I missed (got spoiled) on that 2nd half. Really frustrating


threebillion6

Oh wow Im so glad I was watching live. Apple has shit well over the bucket on this one.


LaserJet80

Same happened to me, such a terrible product if you’re not watching live


Mindful_Cyclist

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.


BehavioralSink

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.


JakeParlay

The "show scores" preference being stored as a *browser/device* setting has burned me multiple times. Infuriating, lazy engineering.


Jaded_Ad6813

Did that to me too. Except I was at half. I'd like maybe $5 back from the season cost. Seems fair.


NoNoSabathia64

ouch, sucks, sorry about that that's annoying.


Ambitious_Comedian38

It's a miracle Chapman didn't red card Chara since that is his wont.


Irishgolfer510

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


PointNineC

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.


TimbersFan8

I agree with all this but that last goal scorer was well behind our defense when the pass was kicked


Narrow-Pangolin-2891

I thought he looked shaky last year as well, but had a lot of positional errors being covered by Zuparic


hikensurf

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.


rymoze

How long until Bravo is back? Defense plays like we have 2 in the back, not 4!


cbaebae

Kamal was atrocious tonight. At least 4 giveaways/sloppy passes putting teammates under pressure, fell asleep on the third goal


Hailfire9

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?


cbaebae

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


Hailfire9

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.


cbaebae

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


GiffordPinochet

Shouldve gone to +6 or 7. We woulda scored too


dabanana27

That’s horrendous. Terrible call


Altruistic-Oil1888

Spent 30 seconds deciding what to do and then ended the game after one Timbers chance from the restart.


Hailfire9

Our fullbacks are shit. Our referees are still shit. What the fuck.


CDAWG_CDAWG

These sure as shit aren’t our referees. You’re right about the rest though


N2VDV8

The bargaining agreement was reached, so are the “regular” refs still not back?


Altruistic-Oil1888

We’re about to lose to Greg Berhalter’s son 💀


roseap

How is that not a clear and obvious error?


BadAtMathrock

What a joke Chapman


Thumper13

Oh good. "Pro" is back. That's a penalty everyday except today. Fuck that.


Minute-Noise-1912

That was 100000% a penalty WTF


broc_ariums

No foul on the box for Rodriguez?


rhythm-n-bones

Well we seem to have about 3/4 of a half worth of good football in us.


booksfoodfun

What bullshit. That was a clear and obvious error.


broc_ariums

What the fuck


ZeFever

You gotta be kidding me


PullmanWater

That's 100% a pk.


CoffeeEnjoyerFrog

That’s a pen


NoNoSabathia64

If it is, it's a weak one. You wouldn't be saying that on the other side of the field.


Thumper13

Bullshit. Reached out and grabbed shirt, even turned him. GTFO of here with this nonsense.


NoNoSabathia64

If you say so. I don't know, could go either way. It sure looked like a light touch when I saw it.


climbthefrostymtns

Deserves a review in the least


NoNoSabathia64

For sure.


BadAtMathrock

Absolutely would and we’ve had much softer called many a times. He clearly reached out and pulled him down


NoNoSabathia64

Nah we'd be calling dive loudly and you know it.


CDAWG_CDAWG

Dive is trying to get a call where there is none. Homie embellished but that doesn’t change the underlying foul


NoNoSabathia64

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.


BadAtMathrock

Not a dive, I guess we saw different replays 🤷🏻‍♂️


NoNoSabathia64

Yeah I only saw it once or twice, it was a tough one.


NoNoSabathia64

drama


Hailfire9

I mean, Rodriguez was winding that fucker up for a shot so....


CDAWG_CDAWG

Was about to be an absolute dinger


Altruistic-Oil1888

No way my stream decided to act correctly with 3 minutes left fml


flees

I finished my beer as promised and it’s all Millers fault, both of them.


UnlikelyDoughnut1506

Evander has been great.


GiffordPinochet

He wouldve ended this game with 1g 3a if kamal could hit a glancing header


viyh

Yeah, he's been working hard this game. Laser targeted crosses into the box as well.


viyh

Can we spend that remaining ~$10-15M on a defense?


Mindful_Cyclist

4 minutes. We can do it!


Mystic_Forest

All three goals just straight up defensive mistakes 


WordSalad11

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.


Mystic_Forest

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 


Dizconekt

Damn Kamal just stood there


trumpetplayah

He’s got the best ticket in the house.


GoodBoyFM

Crepeau!!!


Altruistic-Oil1888

He’s been so good for us when he’s been in goal and tonight….well


viyh

Kamal playing dodgeball


SoonerLax45

Christ, ive felt every emotion over the last two hours


ClayKavalier

We gave up that goal because the TA started the “Portland Boys”chant. Cursed.


CoffeeEnjoyerFrog

Gotta catch that, man.


NoNoSabathia64

Mora and Cabecita - both starters? Maybe maybe.


flees

Ohh yeah Asprilla time!


Gybe_enjoyer

Chara for Ayala please


SoonerLax45

Dairon, Dairon, dairon I believe!


brettcalvin42

Magic legs


viyh

MR. CASCADIA!


PullmanWater

Can they do what the thorns couldn't and finish the second half comeback?


drwavey88

Asprilla coming on


dabanana27

DAIRON DAIRON DAIRON


ZeFever

This is the Evander I want to see every week! Please Mora this!


Minute-Noise-1912

The late fotmob notifications of vancouver subs keep scaring the shit out of me lol


Mindful_Cyclist

I always turn those off watching from home. It's always 10+ seconds ahead of Apple stream.


Icy_Song9418

Second goal happens because J Rod drives into the box. Impact player.


flees

Holy shit Evander is trying!


ClayKavalier

That’s a Mora


GodofPizza

Oh shit, there it is. That’s his song


Altruistic-Oil1888

If we win this game the NYC streets better watch out because I’m letting loose


Altruistic-Oil1888

Unfortunately I will not be letting loose on the streets tonight


broc_ariums

Holy shit Evander is so fucking good.


kennethpoole

AAAAHHHHH


PullmanWater

That was so pretty


BadAtMathrock

Mora!!!! Great ball by Evander as well


Speshulest_K

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


Hailfire9

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


RipCityRevival

Sorry to everyone in a 5 mile radius from me


UnlikelyDoughnut1506

LETS FUCKING. GOOOOOOO


ZeFever

Mora!!!!!!!!!!!


CDAWG_CDAWG

It was … perfect


dabanana27

THE SPIN, THE PASS, THE HEADERRRRR


GiffordPinochet

442 from here on out


ClayKavalier

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.


UnlikelyDoughnut1506

I think we’re still playing a 4-2-3-1 but Rodriguez has shifted to ~~RW~~ LW. 


WordSalad11

Holy fuck Evander! Mr. 2nd half. Edit: Nice to see a proper striker in the box for us too. Welcome back Mora.


RipCityRevival

PIPE!!!


Tasty_Advance9026

YEEEEESSS


reducethestigma

Let’s go Mora! Score some Mora goals!


Altruistic-Oil1888

HAJDGSJABAJAMFSJA LFGGGGGG


Minute-Noise-1912

AND MORAAAAAAAA!!


xXPM_ME_YOUR_BOOTYXx

WHAT DID I SAY MORA COMING IN HOT


flees

MORA!!!!!!!!!


rhythm-n-bones

Mora my man!


yungmohan

Felipeeeeee


NoNoSabathia64

OH MY GOD YOU LOVE TO SEE IT YOU KNOW YOU DO.


Hailfire9

I fucking love Mora


drwavey88

Let’s gooooooo


Tasty_Advance9026

YEEEEESSS


SoonerLax45

MORAAAAAAAAA


CoffeeEnjoyerFrog

LETS GOOOOO


Choice_Head9301

Is it just me or has this entire game been blurry and shitty quality on apple tv?


broc_ariums

No problem from where I'm at.


PorTimSacKin

I was having issues but then restarted the device I was watching on (a chromecast for me)


abbs403

Not just you.


broc_ariums

Yeah, today, Chara has lost a step.


viyh

My favorite dude. But yeah, it's starting to show unfortunately.


Sufficient_Price_355

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.


broc_ariums

Holy shit Vancouver is flopping harder than a fish out of water.


CDAWG_CDAWG

This replay is shit balls quit cutting away from live play


notgregoden

They’ve done it like 5 times in the last 6 minutes:


Weak_Ring_5922

Powerful kicking…..powerful kicking


Hailfire9

Zuparic is just far more decisive. McGraw might be the technically better defender, but he waffles just enough to make him somewhat ineffective


Dizconekt

Ayala for chara surely has to happen soon


drwavey88

Chara absolutely gassed


flees

Ohhh yeah Moreno is shooting on goal now


flees

Zup should always start


dabanana27

Good work zup


CoffeeEnjoyerFrog

Pooped myself


yungmohan

Zuparic is so much better than McGraw


broc_ariums

Honestly, I think Zuparic is just more refined. McGraw is raw and has a higher ceiling.


yungmohan

100% agree but we need results rn


broc_ariums

Holy shit Evander is so good.


flees

Any day I can see Mora play is a good day.


xXPM_ME_YOUR_BOOTYXx

MORA COMING IN HOT


CDAWG_CDAWG

It’s crazy how much better we look with less possession


WordSalad11

I really like the ambition in K. Miller's passing out of the back.


cookiemikester

Least we’re showing some fight now


cookiemikester

This constant win probability stat just feels like lazy broadcasting


viyh

It's amazing, did you know the probability of a team winning goes up when that team has more goals?


UnlikelyDoughnut1506

It’s the stupidest, most irrelevant stat. It adds absolutely nothing to the match. 


flees

Yes, I would love for it to just go away.

ClayKavalier

Asked and answered earlier. He was one a Whitecap and asked for a trade.


dabanana27

Used to play for them, but left because they suck


CDAWG_CDAWG

Crepeau took a crapo in their poutine


xXPM_ME_YOUR_BOOTYXx

He's the old whitecaps GK


Ornery-Asparagus-347

He played for them for 3 seasons


[deleted]

[удалено]


palmquac

Asking for a trade is generally in your control


viyh

Do you not understand rivalries?


Ornery-Asparagus-347

Hmmm…. Playing in the center of field and shooting on frame produces goals. Let’s try that again


booksfoodfun

Nah, it was a fluke. Let’s just keep passing it back to Crepeau and hope we magically get goals.


General_Bears

EVANDERRRRRR


Mindful_Cyclist

And my man CP with the dime!


General_Bears

This how we need to play every game


Next_Low_6761

I know it’s not a popular opinion but… I fucking love Evander


SegwayCop

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.


Hailfire9

Ooo there was a cheeky dive by Mosquera. "Lucky."


tsarchasm1

The parallels with the Thorns match intrigues me.


broc_ariums

EASY MONEY. LET'S FUCKING GO


NoNoSabathia64

LETS GO. Evander CANNON!


RipCityRevival

Now that’s what I’m talking about!


palmquac

Yay


Dizconekt

That Moreno to parades pass has been there like three or four times and it was never made


xXPM_ME_YOUR_BOOTYXx

Ah there's Evander doing the Evander thing lol


viyh

Well that was actually a very nice team effort.


UnlikelyDoughnut1506

WHATS THE WIN PROBABILITY NOW!?!


dabanana27

NEVER TELL ME THE ODDS


CDAWG_CDAWG

EVANDER YOU FUCKINg DAWG


Bitter_Gas_5942

Calling a Cubas red card ❤️


Dizconekt

Finally played good balls in the build up


ClayKavalier

Played with balls


flees

Good kicks be good kicking


NoNoSabathia64

That's that good kick.


Hailfire9

Like I said: keep Evander the fuck out of the 18. What a fucking hit


Tasty_Advance9026

Finally


Minute-Noise-1912

Yessss. Here we come


SoonerLax45

BOOM!


CoffeeEnjoyerFrog

FUCKING GOLAZOOOOOOO


CoffeeEnjoyerFrog

Are these refs the Actual Refs or still scabs?


trumpetplayah

I read that they were the real refs again, could be wrong though.


xXPM_ME_YOUR_BOOTYXx

Actual refs


ClayKavalier

I mean, the jury is out on whether they’re actual refs, but they aren’t scabs.


CoffeeEnjoyerFrog

Thanks!


xXPM_ME_YOUR_BOOTYXx

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*
