Once again, we have
the always exciting and much contested Cascadia Derbies played with such
passion and all-around competition- minute by minute whenever these three
squads meet.
It looks like this
campaign has been a little rough for the Cascadia squads struggling in their
first matches and in this one between the Vancouver Whitecaps and the Seattle
Sounders.
The element of having
a rough start with both of these colossi displaying a 0-2 record, the outlook
of this game was going to be a much-disputed one and booth of them seeking that
elusive first win of this new campaign.
With both squads
ready, to shake off the negativity started this campaign, the table was serve
in the always-majestic Century Link Park in Seattle ready to witness another
mano a mano between these two Cascadia foes.
Ready to start
another heated and much disputed match in an afternoon filled with lots of
excellent football from both squads as well out of this world plays.
For the hosts in the
Seattle Sounders, so far for Manager Sigi Schmidt cannot explain how this slow
start has suddenly hit this club considered in all of MLS circles as an elite
one.
The Caps coming too
with a slow start and seeking that elusive first win, Carl Robinson the Manager
of the Vancouver Boys was ready to generate a series of play and display a very
energetic and dynamic football against the Rave Greens.
Still the overall
winners were the fans that came to see how these titans went at it and almost
hit themselves with the water bucket, as every minute of play and with a
fighting stance demonstrated by both squads.
At the end, this
match went into full gear, exposing many flaws in the Seattle backfield and its
frontal attack, something that needs to be work on by its Manager Sigi Schmidt
if they do not want to continue into that negative skid.
Will be putting his
squad into strenuous work sessions and correct the mistake’s, this off course
if they want to contend in this campaign and not throw it away, despite having
some absences in their office attack.
Very well for the
Caps a win in the road and one as important as the Seattle one, edging their
south of the border rivals and winning round one in the always contested
Cascadia Cup and Derbies.
The win for the
Canadians will be a shoot of optimism for the Boys of Carl Robinson who has a
squad to compete with as well the addition of Blas Perez into this offensive
scheme will became a lethal one to opposing defenses.
Exposing the Caps
power, that last campaign almost netted them several trophies among one of them
the Supporters Shield and left out of the MLS Cup finals, considered ultimate
favorites.
For now round one
will be for the Vancouver Whitecaps in the always exciting and nail biting Cascadia
Derbies, exposing their powerful attack and prospects of being an all-around
contender once again in this campaign.
At the end, this
first one of the Cascadia Derbies will give you a preview of what has to come
ahead in this edition of Major League Soccer.
