Que dire du commentaire de Jeff Clark
""We like to think we played an exciting style," said Clarke. "Hopefully he won't come and expect us to play like Barcelona or Arsenal."

Whitecaps name new head coach

VANCOUVER -- Teitur Thordarson was named the new coach of the Vancouver Whitecaps Tuesday, saying he wants the United Soccer Leagues team to play an exciting, attacking game while developing young players through the club's youth system.

"Football is about results," said Thordarson, 55, a native of Iceland, who spent three years as head coach of Estonia's national team. "There are different ways to get results.

"My philosophy has always been to play attacking football. That is something we will try to do."

Thordarson spent 11 years coaching in Norway's top flight and five years in Estonia. As head coach of Estonia's national team he took a side ranked 145th by the FIFA world rankings in January 1996 and moved them to 68th by November 1999.

The native of Akranes, Iceland, admitted he knows little about Canadian soccer. He decided to accept the Vancouver job after talking with Whitecaps president Bob Lenarduzzi and Even Pellerud, the head coach of Canada's national women's soccer team, who also coached in Norway.

Thordarson said he was impressed with the Whitecaps youth and residency programs.

"I was excited when I came over here to see the work the club has been doing," he said. "There is good ground work already there. It makes it a lot easier to bring players forward."

Developing your own players is the key to winning champions, said Thordarson.

"You have to do that, especially when you are not so big that you can buy what you want," he said. "On the way to becoming a very good football club you have to develop you own players and bring them forward to the professional system in your club."

Thordarson, who signed a two-year contract, said he also joined the Whitecaps because of the team's desire to become part of Major League Soccer by 2011.

"That's one of the things I found very interesting, that the aim of the club in the future is to go there," he said.

Thordarson becomes the sixth head coach in the Whitecaps' 22nd season of play. He replaces Bob Lilley who guided Vancouver to the 2006 USL First Division championship but was fired on Sept. 18 after the team was eliminated from the first-round of this year's playoffs after struggling to a 9-7-12 record.

Lenarduzzi said Thordarson has a history of developing young talent.

"We're not going to abandon the senior players by any means, but the one thing we can control is the development of a young infrastructure," said Lenarduzzi.

"What we need is someone at the top of our pyramid to be willing to play the younger players that are performing well in the residency (program), at the same time understanding you need that core of senior players."

Lenarduzzi also wants a change in the Whitecaps attitude.

"I'm looking for our players to show an urgency for 90 minutes, to really demonstrate they want to win that particular game," he said. "It's easy to become cautious and sometimes go through he motions.

"That's not something we want to have demonstrated by our players moving forward."

Whitecaps captain Jeff Clarke said he welcomes the different energy a new coach brings but was intrigued by management's desire to play a more exciting game.

"We like to think we played an exciting style," said Clarke. "Hopefully he won't come and expect us to play like Barcelona or Arsenal.

"You have to play within your means. The next six months will be interesting to see what that definition is."

As a player, Thordarson is a former captain for his native Iceland. He earned 41 caps, 39 starts, and scored nine goals.

C'est du grand n'importe quoi, avec de la musique en continu. Vraiment, j'ai vu une partie de match et c'est assez.

montreal devrait se débarasser de roberto brown!! surement dautres joueurs aussi. remarquer comment rochester procede lorsquil perdent un championnat...il ne construisent jamais.l'année prochaine ils vont etres encore plus poche!!

Salvadoran newspapers are reporting that the RailHawks have signed El Salvador national team player Dennis Alas to a one year contract.

Salvadoran media are reporting that the Thunder have signed former DC untied and current El Salvador national team player Eliseo Quintanilla on a two year contract.

Salvadorans must be desperate for work.

Last MISL game I saw, there were 3 ex impact players playing for one team, one for the team they were playing, and one rhino.

Terrible league.

Bon quelques nouvelles de la USL:

Le Salvadorien Eliseo Quintanilla n'a pas signer avec le Thunder du Minnesota. Il a plutôt accepté une offre d'un club chilien.

Les Timbers de Portland ont signés le vétéran de la MLS Chris Brown qui s'alignait depuis les trois dernières années avec le Real Salt Lake. L'an dernier en 22 parties (12 débutées) il a compté 5 buts.

Les Whitecaps ont signés deux anciens de DC United soit le gardien de 26 ans Jay Nolly (qui a deja aussi évoluer au Real Salt Lake) ainsi que l'attaquant jamaïcain Nicholas Addlery. L'an dernier en 11 matchs avec DCU il a marqué 1 but et récolté deux passes.

Une première acquisition pour Rochester cette saison : Mauricio Salles

Aaaaaah. Voilà qui va être palpitant à suivre.

Rochester est définitivement notre bitch

Hehe... c'est presque assez bon pour une banderole ça...

Il y a encore eu quelques petits transferts durant la semaine, mais rien d'énorme.

À Seattle, on a prolongé pas mal de contrats :

Concrètement, que signifie le fait de prendre une option sur un joueur ?

The Sounders have also picked up the option on eight other players from last year's team: Ben Dragavon, Sebastien Le Toux, Noah Merl, Colin Rigby, Kevin Sakuda, Andre Schmid, Zach Scott and Adam West.
