#VWFC’s Thomas Müller postgame.

“I don’t like to talk a lot about the ref, but there were two or three situations, if he watch it back, maybe he should decide differently. But it is what it is. I’m proud of this team.”

Correction: it was our last *home* opponent. And it did happen in 2022-23 (LAFC again)!

IkeaHatGuy @ikeahatguy.bsky.social · 2d

Last year, our season ender opponent (LAFC) was our first round playoff opponent. Here’s hoping it ends better this time. (Did this happen in the 2022-23 too?) #VWFC #VANvDAL #MLS

#VWFC will play #DTID (FC Dallas) in the first round of the #MLS playoffs in a best of three 2 vs 7 seeded matchup.

Game 1 at BC Place.

FT Thoughts:

-Obviously, not the way Vancouver was looking for today to go, they'll see Dallas again next weekend.
-Red card shaped the match, could also have an impact on the first round of the playoffs.
-Whitecaps dominated the last 30+ minutes, but no luck.

I was thinking of starting a fake blog where I treat every loss as a vast conspiracy against the team. Now I’m wondering… 😒 #VWFC #VANvDAL #MLS

Ali Ahmed tripped up in the #DTID box, Ahmed, and the fans want a penalty, but Allen Chapman says nope.

'A ref you suck' chant has broken out at BC Place.

MLS is a joke.
Whitecaps have been completely wrecked by bad refereeing decisions over and over again.

Losing Laborda to a red really sucked and changed the tide early. But props to the Whitecaps for not losing their fundamentals and staying in it.

So...Laborda initially gets a yellow for a tackle on Samuel Sarver. But VAR checks for DOGSO and then Allen Chapman sends Laborda off. He will be suspended for Game 1 of the first round.

To be fair, though, the old VWFC would have had Vanni Sartini’s response to that ball not being a goal, which would have been pretty fun to hear.

Vancouver Whitecaps forward Nelson Pierre on the impact of Thomas Müller:

“Honestly, I'm not surprised at all. He's an incredible player and an incredible person. He's really brought the locker room together and he's made all the young guys feel important and part of the team."

🇩🇪🤝🇨🇦 Thomas Müller has always talked a good game, but the start of his spell at Vancouver Whitecaps proves he can still play a good game as well.

By the way: with a Union loss & Whitecaps win on decision day, they finish even on points but the Shield is confirmed thanks to Total Wins as tiebreaker.

Whitecaps beat the Union 7-0 one month ago

Really stupid that head to head is not the tiebreaker!
