Fredy Montero is looking forward to facing Seattle once again.


The Vancouver Whitecaps forward will have fond memories of his time at Seattle Sounders. He spent four seasons at the club and became the all-time top scorer in the MLS before leaving the club in 2012. After having spent a lot of time at clubs in China, Portugal, and Colombia, he is once again back in the MLS this season. The forward scored his first goal of the season in the win over LA Galaxy a few weeks ago. However, he has witnessed Vancouver Whitecaps going through a terrible run of form with four defeats in the last five matches across all competitions.

Hence, confidence is not high among the Vancouver Whitecaps ranks. Even then a game against his former club will be a special occasion. Seattle Sounders have recovered from the poor start to the season and are unbeaten in the last four games.

Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder Mauro Rosales has stated that his team are looking to balance attacking football with the ability to pick up results as well. Vancouver have been one of the best teams to watch in the MLS under the regime of Carl Robinson.

However, this beautiful football has not exactly brought results to the team, as they have not been unable to convert a chances more often than not. The poor efficiency in terms of finishing has left the team still searching for a position as the table leaders. Ahead of the game against Sporting Kansas City,Rosales says that the team will now look to be more efficient.

Toronto FC manager Greg Vanney was extremely unhappy with his team’s defending, which was largely to blame after the recent 3-2 defeat against Chicago Fire. The loss was the third consecutive win the league for the team and it pushes them outside the play-off places after just four matches.

Being a relatively new MLS franchise, Toronto need to consistently qualify for the play-off places in order to raise their profile in the region.Vanney has been given the task of doing so, but he has been struggling with the role.Vanney stated bluntly that his team’s defending was not good enough after the game against Chicago Fire.

Despite conceding an early goal after just 14 minutes, Toronto managed to come back into the match in amazing fashion and they were leading after 54 minutes on the clock. Just when it seemed that they would be heading for only the second league win of the season, Chicago Fire had other ideas and they were in the lead after just 14 minutes. Creavalle was sent off in the 67th minute and it effectively ended the match as a contest. Toronto will have to recover quickly as they have four away matches on the bounce. Such poor form on the road is unlikely to help them pick any points. Continue reading “Greg Vanney was extremely unhappy with his team’s defending” →
