Nutrilite 2011: Gulls-Whitecaps, 8pm tonight

While we impatiently wait to join MLS, tonight we get the chance to face an MLS side in the Vancouver Whitecaps in the Nutrilite Canadian Championship.

There’s supposed to be thundershowers tonight, and with a bloody Game 7 going on in Boston, odds are the stadium will be empty. Last year the Impact was in a similar situation, with Toronto in town for the NCC while Pittsburgh and the Habs faced off in a Game 7. The weather was nice, yet the stadium wasn’t full either, and lods of fans started cheering when the hockey team scored. It was bad enough that the announcer at Saputo Stadium interrupted the game to announce the score every once in a while.

I’ve already spent too much time talking about that other sport, so here’s the scoop on tonight’s match.

The Gulls have two extra defenders available tonight in Richard Pelletier and Hicham Aaboubou, both of who are suspended for NASL play, but not the Voyageurs Cup. Neither are expected to start. Meanwhile, Hassoun Camara and Reda Agourram are both still out and will not play.

The probable XI:

Gerba-Le Gall
Di Lorenzo – Lowery – Testo – Kreamalmeyer
Zurab – Pizzolito – Hatchi – Billy
Gaudette

Most noticeably, Anthony Le Gall will be taking Idriss Ech-Chergui’s place as a forward tonight, as his late-game performance after being subbed in last Sunday earned him a starting spot. Meanwhile, Antonio Ribeiro will start on the bench again.

We’ve had trouble as of late in getting the ball forward to be an offensive threat, something Vancouver has had no trouble in doing. This should be a defensive duel, provided we can actually hold on to the ball and get it where it needs to go.

Meanwhile, Vancouver has 5 or 6 players out with injuries, as head coach Teitur Thordarson says he won’t have his best team on Wednesday. His best team in general? Or best team on the pitch? Let’s hope for our sake that it’s the latter, otherwise…
