The Whitecaps knew they needed a high-end central defender even before the season started.
Curtis
Samuel Panthers Jersey . That need was exacerbated on Saturday after a
second half meltdown that saw the Caps fortunate to escape from PPL Park with a
point, despite leading 2-0 at half time. The difference between the 4-3 win in
Portland and the 3-3 draw in Penn State was the first 25 minutes of the 2nd
half. Against the Timbers, the Whitecaps didnt allow their opponents any kind of
life after the interval and, in the end, added a fourth goal. In Philadelphia,
there was only one team that came out of the tunnel it seemed and Vancouver was
under siege from minute 46 on. A simple tactical switch by the Unions John
Hackworth saw a largely invisible Zach Pfeffer replaced by Michael Lahoud, whose
defensive work in midfield seemed to allow Philadelphias technical players to
see more of the ball. Beyond that, it wasnt pace that got the home side back in
the game, but instead some good, old fashioned wing play and continuous service
to a rejuvenated-looking Conor Casey. The 32-year-old target forward was simply
no match for the Whitecaps central defenders. Before getting injured, it seemed
as though Jay DeMerit was the more likely Whitecap to win the odd aerial battle,
but after landing awkwardly in the 38th-minute, one has to wonder whether Jay
DeMerits long-term availability is in serious jeopardy. Compounding the
Whitecaps troubles at the back was a worrisome performance by Johnny Leveron,
who has been touted as Carl Robinsons guy since the boss scouted him after an
impressive 2012 Olympic campaign. The 23-year-old Honduran is billed as a
defensive quarterback - a player who can make a great first pass. But on
Saturday, his first pass was often a panic ball straight into touch and
defensively, well, Leveron had a nightmare. He couldnt catch up anywhere close
to Sebastien LeToux on the equalizing goal and then he inexplicably gave Casey
acres of space at the top of the box, meekly turning his back on what was then
the go-ahead goal. With Andy OBrien turing 35 this month and Jay DeMerit now on
the sidelines, the centre-back search has suddenly become the bigger priority
than a goal-poaching striker. Short term, Carlyle Mitchell could be back in the
picture. He and Leveron found some synergy together in one of the more fruitful
periods of the 2013 campaign thanks to the Trinidadians recovery speed and
defensive athleticism. Third-overall pick Christian Dean still needs some
seasoning, which makes one think that a young, athletic blue-chip centre back is
now at the top of the shopping list with the transfer window about to open. Carl
Robinson and his web of scouts will be scouring the globe to hopefully unearth a
player who fits the Whitecaps criteria of young and with upside value. Asked
about a rumoured MLS link with former Man City and Everton vet Joleon Lescott,
the manager acknowledged his pedigree, but admitted that the 31-year-old former
England international could command an unrealistic wage. To think that
Vancouver has taken four of six points away from home while conceding six goals
in those games makes you wonder where they could be if they shore up, arguably,
their most vulnerable position.

span.RENO, Nev. - John E. Williams III has been a San Francisco 49ers fan since
John Brodie was throwing touchdown passes at Candlestick Park in the 1970s. So
he was excited about the prospects of scoring a ticket to make the trip to
Seattle in January to watch the rivals battle in the NFC Championship Game. But
the Las Vegas man says in a $50 million lawsuit against the NFL that his hopes
were dashed by the league and others he accuses of engaging in "economic
discrimination" with an illegal ticket policy limiting credit-card sales to
selected pro-Seattle markets. His lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Las
Vegas says it was part of an effort to keep 49er fans away and further promote
the Seahawks boisterous home-field advantage at CenturyLink Field. "Theyre
always boasting up there about their 12th player and everything else," Williams
told The Associated Press on Friday. "But by allowing the NFL to decide who can
or cannot attend the games, you make it an unfair game. Seattle fixed it."
Williams, who works as a promoter in the entertainment industry, said that
because the NFL relies heavily on public subsidies and money from taxpayers to
build stadiums. it should not be allowed to deny ticket sales to individuals on
the basis they are "not from an area determined by the team — or the NFL — to be
fan of that team." "The practice of withholding the sale of tickets from the
public at large and allowing only credit card holders limited to certain areas
is a violation of the Federal Consumer Fraud Act and/or common law," according
to the lawsuit filed April 15..

ticket sales only to credit cards with addresses in the states of Washington,
Oregon, Montana, Idaho, Alaska and Hawaii, as well as the Canadian provinces of
British Columbia and Alberta. As a result, he said, he suffered "economic
discrimination and violation of public accommodation solely" because his credit
card was not issued in the restrictive states or Canada — "which is not even
part of the United States." "This selected process is contrary to the spirit of
the NFL and contrary to public accommodation," said Williams, who is seeking $10
million in punitive damages on top of $40 million in real damages. Brian
McCarthy, the NFLs vice-president of communications, said the league has no
comment on the lawsuit. Officials for California-based Ticketmaster, which is
now part of Live Nation Entertainment Inc., and the Seattle Seahawks did not
immediately respond to requests for comment. Williams said he had made up his
mind that if San Francisco beat the Carolina Panthers in a semifinal game, he
was going to buy tickets to the NFC title game in Seattle for himself, his
roommate, a girlfriend who lives in Canada and her daughter. San Francisco beat
Carolina 23-10, then lost at Seattle 23-17. "I live in Las Vegas, but Im
originally from San Francisco. Ive seen John Brodie back in the day, and Joe
Montana. I really wanted to go up there to see the Niners," Williams said. "I
think the tickets should be sold on a first-come, first-served basis, not based
on who they want in the crowd."
