Good Monday morning, Caps fans. I hope you all had a good weekend and are mentally preparing for the week ahead. It was a good weekend for the Caps, as they went top of the Supporters Shield standings with a businesslike 2-0 win over NYCFC at home. Vancouver could have been well clear after the first half (sound familiar?), but Matt Freese kept the away …

Vancouver’s strong start to the season continued in earnest against their Eastern Conference opposition.

The Vancouver Whitecaps will take on their second Eastern Conference side of the season on Saturday, as they welcome NYCFC to BC Place for the first time since 2022. The last time these two teams played was in 2023, when the ‘Caps were in the midst of a lengthy road trip. The game was in the afternoon at Yankee Stadium, and I’m 97% convinced it …

Welcome back, everyone. After a thrilling comeback at BC Place last weekend, the Whitecaps host a cross-continent matchup this Saturday afternoon, with NYCFC in town. The visitors sit second in the East with 11 points through six matches and a +7 goal difference, so this should be a strong test. Argentine midfielder Nicolás Fernández has been off to a scorching start, with five goals in …

Good Friday morning, Caps fans. Hope you all are having a lovely week and that you get a well-deserved break this weekend. For the second time this year, the Whitecaps will square off against an Eastern Conference opponent. And NYCFC represents a fairly stiff test. Outside of Seattle and San Jose, this is likely the toughest team the Caps have played all year. For context, …

Pacific FC hosted Cavalry FC at Starlight Stadium on Sunday and opened the eighth CPL season with a 2–1 loss. The result extended their winless run to eleven matches, dating back to August 2025. Cavalry, a CPL powerhouse that contested the North Star Cup in last year’s final, broke a bizarre streak on Sunday: Never before had they won a match in April. Tobias Warschewski, …

Saturday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps came away with a 3-2 win following a dramatic stoppage-time reversal, as the hosts scored two in four minutes to come away with three points, securing the home-and-home sweep over their rivals from the Beaver State.

Good Monday morning, Caps fans. I hope you’re having a good start to your week and enjoying the spring-like weather we finally have. It was a wild ride on Saturday night but, somehow, someway the Caps pulled out a 3-2 win over Portland. And boy, is there a lot to unpack here. The Timbers looked a bit better than they did in the return fixture, …

Ahead of Sebastian Berhalter’s last-minute winner, I was constructing an article about how soccer is a high-variance, low-scoring sport. Unlike, for example, basketball, one or two moments can lead to a team that probably deserved to win losing. Sometimes a few of these games even happen in quick succession, creating the illusion of a crisis. But then Berhalter scored, so there’s no need to get …

The Vancouver Whitecaps return to action on Saturday night, hosting the Portland Timbers in the return fixture of their Cascadia Cup rivalry at BC Place. This is a weird quirk of the schedule this year, where some teams play the same team twice in just a few weeks. From Vancouver’s perspective, that isn’t a bad thing, as their 4-1 thrashing of Portland at Providence Park …

Welcome back, everyone. The Vancouver Whitecaps return to MLS action after the international break with another meeting against the Portland Timbers, this time back in the friendly confines of BC Place.

Good Friday morning, Caps fans. Hope you all are having a good week and that the first few days of April have been treating you well.

The Canadian Men’s National Team (CanMNT) finished their two-match March window with two draws: 2–2 against Iceland on Saturday and 0–0 against Tunisia on Tuesday. Tying the world’s 75th- and 44th-ranked sides in the penultimate pair of friendlies before this summer’s World Cup may sound worrying, but the CanMNT have three reasons to feel good about their chances of succeeding on the world stage for …

The Vancouver Whitecaps opened their MLS season with impressive displays across their first four matches, but recent form has dipped slightly, with a fifth-game loss to San Jose leaving them at 4 wins, 0 draws, and 1 loss. While playing four of those five matches at home offered some advantage, their previously dominant performances have been less convincing against stronger opponents such as the Quakes …

The Canadian Men’s National Team (CanMNT), ranked 30th in the world, drew 2–2 with 75th-ranked Iceland at Toronto’s BMO Field on Saturday, March 28. Two early goals by Icelandic striker Orri Óskarsson (9th and 21st minutes) were offset by two second-half penalty kicks by Jonathan David (67th and 75th minutes). Canada had heaps of late momentum but were halted in the 80th minute by a …

Since the January international window, two major events have shaken up the Canadian Men’s squad: Marcelo Flores, a 22-year-old Mexican-Canadian playing for Tigres in the Liga MX, filed a one-time switch to represent Canada, and Promise David, a 24-year-old playing for Union Saint-Gilloise in the Belgian Pro League, underwent hip tendon surgery. Flores, a winger or central attacking midfielder (CAM), will likely join Canada’s 26-man …

Good Monday morning, Caps fans. Hope you had a good weekend and that the week ahead is a good one. The Caps’ perfect start was foiled by San Jose, with a belter from Beau Leroux being the only thing separating the two sides. Credit to San Jose, who have vastly improved their defensive shape since these two teams last met at BC Place. This was …

Saturday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps suffered their first loss of the MLS season by a score of 1-0 against the San Jose Earthquakes. For the second straight match, the Whitecaps struggled to find a breakthrough when chasing the game, and San Jose, while perhaps not as well drilled and efficient as the Seattle Sounders before them, were equally effective in frustrating Jesper …
