Coffee with the Caps, Monday July 27
Good Monday morning Caps fans. Hope you all had a lovely weekend and are preparing for the week ahead. The Whitecaps wrapped up their road trip Saturday with a drab 0-0 draw with Minnesota United. I will confess that I didn’t watch live but it doesn’t seem like much was missed. Vancouver over corrected from their 4-3 loss in Cincinnati by strengthening the backline but … Source
Report Card: Saint Paul Stalemate
Saturday night in Minnesota, the Vancouver Whitecaps played out a 0-0 draw with the Loons at Allianz Field. With the result, Jesper Sørensen’s side closed out a rather lethargic road swing, picking up just one of a possible six points against two teams sitting on the playoff bubble in their respective conferences. Vancouver largely controlled proceedings and certainly dominated possession, finishing with 64% of the … Continue reading Report Card: Saint Paul Stalemate Source
Post Match: Lethargic in Loon-Land
As far as points earned in the Vancouver Whitecaps’ Jesper Sørensen era, their 0-0 road draw with Minnesota United on Saturday won’t rank too highly. Days after a frustrating 4-3 road loss to FC Cincinnati, the Whitecaps found a way to rebound defensively, but did so at the cost of their offence. As a result, they gritted their way to their first 0-0 draw since … Source
Match Preview: Shorthanded Whitecaps Wrap Road Trip in Minnesota
The Vancouver Whitecaps finish up their monster road trip with a date with Minnesota United at Allianz Field. Both teams will be looking to bounce back from midweek defeats, after Minnesota fell 2-1 to Sporting KC and the Caps lost a 4-3 goal fest in Cincinnati that featured some uncharacteristically shaky defending. The loss for Vancouver, however, was a bit of a blip on the … Continue reading Match preview: Shorthanded Caps wrap up road trip in Minnesota Source
Guess the Starting XI – Match Sixteen vs. Minnesota
Welcome back, everyone. The Whitecaps have one more road game before they return to BC Place at the beginning of August, as they travel to the Land of 10,000 Lakes for a matchup with Minnesota United.

Coffee with the Caps, Friday July 24
Good Friday morning Caps fans. Hope you all are having a good week and that you are ready for the weekend. The big news of this week was not Vancouver’s disappointing (yet electric) 4-3 loss to FC Cincinnati on Wednesday. If only that were the biggest disappointment of the week. No, it appears the Caps have finalized a deal to sell Sebastian Berhalter to Championship … Source
Report Card: A Slow Restart
The Vancouver Whitecaps did not have the ideal return to MLS action in Cincinnati. They turned in their worst defensive performance of the season, conceding more than two goals in a league match for the first time all year, and despite scoring three times on the road, came away empty-handed. For a team that is rarely susceptible to a trap game, this one certainly had … Source
Post Match: Second Best in the Queen City
Wednesday night in Cincinnati, the Vancouver Whitecaps dropped just their third match of the MLS season in a 4-3 defeat at TQL Stadium. It was a bit of a messy return to league play for the Whitecaps, as they played right into Cincinnati’s hands in a wide-open match that had five goals inside the first 36 minutes. Vancouver has been an extremely consistent defensive team … Source
Match Preview: Let’s Try That Again
After last week’s false start, Vancouver Whitecaps get their 2026 MLS campaign back up and running when they travel to Eastern Conference playoff chasers FC Cincinnati. With MLS yet to return to full throttle after the restart, we are yet to see who has used the break to their advantage and which sides will take a step backwards into the second half of the year. … Source
Guess the Starting XI – Match Fifteen vs. FC Cincinnati
Welcome back, everyone. The Vancouver Whitecaps will try again to restart their MLS season this Wednesday night in Ohio, as they take on FC Cincinnati in an intra-conference matchup. Cincinnati currently sits seventh in the East, with a symmetrical 5-5-5 record. Advanced models seem to echo that profile, as they look like a true middle-of-the-road team through 15 matches. This is one of the league’s … Source
Coffee with the Caps, Monday July 20
Good Monday morning Caps fans. Hope you all had a lovely weekend and are gearing up for the week ahead. We are officially back to MLS, with the World Cup now in our rearview mirror. Spain are the deserved champions, capping off what was a spectacular tournament. While the final wasn’t quite as good as 2022, I think the tournament as a whole surpassed Qatar. … Source
Coffee with the Caps, Friday July 17
Good Friday morning Caps fans. Hope you all are having a lovely week and that your weekend is fast approaching. Well, we will have to wait a few more days before the Whitecaps return to MLS play, as Vancouver’s match against Chicago was postponed due to unsafe air quality due to wildfires in Minnesota. While the jokes about the Chicago Fire write themselves, this was … Source
Match Preview: A Reunion in Chicago
Following their crushing 5-2 aggregate victory over Cavalry FC in the Canadian Championship upon their return to action, Vancouver Whitecaps resume their MLS season when they travel to the windy city to take on Chicago Fire in a tough first game after the World Cup.

Guess the Starting XI – Match Fifteen vs. Chicago Fire
Welcome back, everyone. MLS action returns with a vengeance on Thursday night as two of the league’s top teams from the first half of the season battle it out in Chicago. Looking at squad news and notes, Sebastian Berhalter is not yet available, but Andres Cubas has returned to training. Kenji Cabrera remains out long term, while Emmanuel Sabbi is nearing a return but is … Source

Whitecaps fend off spirited Cavalry to advance in Canadian Championship
The Vancouver Whitecaps are marching on to the semifinals of the Canadian Championship after grabbing a 1-1 draw against Cavalry FC in an entertaining, end-to-end match in Calgary. It looked like Cavalry might do just enough to give themselves a chance, with Ali Musse scoring midway through the second half. Substitute Mihail Gherasimencov quickly dashed those hopes with a goal of his own. Jesper Sørensen … Source

Match Preview: The Payoff in Calgary
Monday night at Spruce Meadows, the Vancouver Whitecaps will look to validate their commanding 4-1 first-leg victory over Cavalry FC by booking their place in the Canadian Championship semifinals with another strong performance.

Coffee with the Caps, Friday July 10
Good Friday morning Caps fans. Hope you all are having a great week and that you have a great weekend lined up.

As I said in the preview, this was not a gimme match. Cavalry … Source

Match Preview: Whitecaps at Swangard for Can Champ Clash
The Whitecaps’ World Cup break ends Wednesday night at Swangard, as Vancouver plays host to Cavalry FC in their first match of their Voyageurs Cup campaign. It has been five weeks since the ‘Caps last took the field, and I’ve almost forgotten what it feels like to watch this team play.

Guess the Starting XI: Can Champ vs. Cavalry FC
Welcome back, everyone! After a long break, we are back to Vancouver Whitecaps action as the four-time reigning Canadian Championship winners return to domestic cup competition at Swangard Stadium on Wednesday night. This could be a bit of a blended lineup, with many players just returning from international duty. That opens the door for younger Canadians and depth players to step in and show their … Source
Coffee with the Caps, Monday July 6
Good Monday morning Caps fans. Hope you had a lovely weekend and are gearing up for the week ahead. Well, all good things must end, and it was a disappointing end to Canada’s World Cup campaign. The scoreline in the 3-0 loss to Morocco looks somewhat worse than it actually was. But, truth be told, it was not a good performance from Canada. The Canadians … Source
