Keane's well placed header Preparing myself mentally to watch the Whitecaps is a long experience,
especially when they're facing the top of the table LA Galaxy, at the Home Depot Center, where the
Galaxy have yet to lose. Yet as the match kicked off, the Caps seemed organized, hardworking, and
ready to create a few attacking opportunities of their own.
After returning from my lengthy vacation, it took me some time to get back into my usual rhythm
regarding the Whitecaps. The game against Portland is the first game I've seen for about six solid
weeks, and I can't say I saw any improvements in my Whitecaps.
Like usual I got home late and turned on the TV with the game already started.
The Vancouver Whitecaps are expected to announce Martin Rennie as their new head coach during a
Tuesday press conference.
The 36-year-old Scotsman is currently coaching the NASL's Carolina Railhawks, who are currently
running away with the league's regular-season title. IndyWeek.com is also reporting that Rennie
will complete the season with the Railhawks before joining the Whitecaps.
The fourth match of the 2011 World Football Challenge took place in Vancouver on Monday night,
and though the Vancouver Whitecaps gave their fans hope of a win, it was Manchester City that wound
up victorious.
Manchester City defeated the Whitecaps 2-1 on goals from John Guidetti and Shaun Wright-Phillips
in the second half.

From @Jordan Harvey: "After a LONG day it was nice to sit down and read all of your messages.
Thank you @PhilaUnion fans for all the amazing memories. @SonsofBen"
From @JordanCHarvey: "Bummed to be leaving such great fans, but everything happens for a reason,
right?
Is this the week Fredy Montero returns to the starting lineup? We certainly hope so. The Seattle
Sounders Designated Player has started on the bench the past two matches and has played reasonably
well in a reserve role. The Vancouver Whitecaps seem like the perfect team for him to get into some
kind of groove with Mike Fucito.
A battle of the flowing locks of hair. Will Beckerman be able to shut down Chiumiento?
After my winding rant regarding Teitur's dismissal, I've decided to try and look at things with a
bit of optimism. There is no point in moaning about the past or what should've been done, I think
it's time to start preparing for the future.

Here we go, another week of games as we roll into the month of June. Hopefully this afternoon I
can get into a post that looks at the first third (or so) of the season. If not that may come
towards the end of the week or even next week.

Of course the day I decide to take most of the day off to rest, relax, buy a new bed, all that
usual holiday stuff is the day that not one but two MLS coaches get canned. Teitur Thordarson in
Vancouver and Carlos de los Cobos in Chicago.
The Vancouver Whitecaps announced Monday afternoon that Teitur Thordarson has been
relieved of his duties as head coach of the organization.
According to a source the team held a meeting with all its players this morning where Director
of Soccer Operations Tom Soehn gave players the news.
