for Vancouver Whitecaps Fans
Good Friday morning Caps fans. Hope you all are having a good week and that you are gearing up for a well-deserved break this weekend. Well, I won’t lie and say it was the most comfortable performance, but the Whitecaps got the job done against Cartaginés, seeing off the Costa Rican side in a 2-0 win at BC Place on Wednesday. I didn’t watch the … Source

The Vancouver Whitecaps will look to come out on top of their first derby day of the year, as they host Toronto FC at BC Place on Saturday night. The ‘Caps have certainly benefited the last couple of seasons from playing both of their Canadian rivals in the Eastern Conference. While that may ultimately prove to be the case in 2026 as well, Toronto definitely … Source

With the short turnaround, keep an eye on Kenji Cabrera after his midweek knock, along with players like Brian White and Sebastian Berhalter, who have carried heavy early-season minutes. Toronto FC opened the season with a 3-2 loss to FC Dallas and are still searching for their first … Source

The Vancouver Whitecaps, once again, dominated Cartaginés in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. Except this time, there were some goals. Let’s look at how the individual players got on. Yohei Takaoka: 6.0 Takaoka made one difficult save through a crowd and another off an olimpico attempt. Otherwise, he was largely a spectator, so I’ll give him a 6. Edier Ocampo: 7.0 This was definitely Ocampo’s best … Source

Florida is a land of golf, gators, flamingos, everglades and, in 2026, Canadian goalkeepers. On Saturday, February 21, Maxime Crépeau (of Montreal) and Dayne St. Clair (of Pickering, Ontario) debuted with their Floridian MLS clubs. Soon, on March 1, they will face each other in a Florida derby. In his new Orlando City kit, Crépeau made 11 saves on Saturday — some of them spectacular … Source

Wednesday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps secured a 2–0 result against C.S. Cartaginés to advance to the next round in CONCACAF, where they will face the Seattle Sounders. Massive credit should go to the Costa Rican side, as they battled hard over the course of two legs, making this matchup far more stressful than most would have anticipated. Their defiant defensive effort held … Source

After last week’s disappointing 0-0 draw in Costa Rica, Vancouver Whitecaps welcome Cartagines to BC Place stadium needing a victory to advance to the Concacaf Champions Cup round of 16 and book a clash with Cascadia rivals Seattle Sounders. Last week’s game was a cagey affair, with Cartagines sitting deep and absorbing waves of Vancouver pressure with a compact defensive block. The Whitecaps spent much … Source

Welcome back, everyone. The Vancouver Whitecaps return to the Champions Cup on Wednesday when they host Costa Rican side C.S. Cartaginés at BC Place, following a 0-0 draw in the first leg last week. Looking at Vancouver’s squad, I’d guess that both Kenji Cabrera and Edier Ocampo will be right back in the starting XI, having been rested against RSL. Similarly, Jeevan Badwal may have … Source

Good Monday morning Caps fans. I hope you all are well rested and having a good start to your week. The Whitecaps are off the mark with three points. Though they won’t get any bonus points for style, it was a professional display against Real Salt Lake on Saturday, combined with a bit of luck that helped the Caps see out a 1-0 win to … Source

Saturday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps began their MLS season with a rather nervy 1-0 win over a depleted Real Salt Lake side. While Jesper Sørensen’s team have not come sprinting out of the blocks to start 2026, they have kept back-to-back clean sheets and were quite clearly the better side in both matches they have played. They have also done this while … Source

The Vancouver Whitecaps opened their 2026 MLS campaign with a professional 1-0 win over a plucky Real Salt Lake at BC Place on Saturday, as they try to pick up where they left off in league play last season. It wasn’t always the smoothest performance, but a burst of quality in the second half helped everyone remember why this team is widely viewed as a … Source

The Vancouver Whitecaps will look to bounce back from a frustrating 0-0 draw against Cartaginés in the Concacaf Champions Cup when they kick off the 2026 MLS season with their home opener against Real Salt Lake. The 2025 season was the best and most memorable Whitecaps year in recent memory. Tremendous runs in the Concacaf Champions Cup and the MLS playoffs almost brought … Source

Welcome back, everyone. The Vancouver Whitecaps return to MLS action this weekend with their home opener, as they host Real Salt Lake in a Western Conference matchup. RSL finished ninth in the West last season and were not the most impressive side. However, there has been significant roster turnover, so perhaps this new group can provide the spark that was missing for long stretches, particularly … Source

Good Friday morning, Caps fans, hope you all are having a lovely week and that you are gearing up for an enjoyable weekend. The first competitive match of the year didn’t quite end up the way the Whitecaps would have hoped, as they slugged it out in a 0-0 draw against Cartagines.

The Vancouver Whitecaps opened their 2026 campaign with a 0-0 draw against Cartaginés in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. The ’Caps played relatively well but did not win. Them’s the breaks sometimes. How did the individual players get on? Yohei Takaoka: 6.0 Cartaginés didn’t have a single shot on target, so there was not much to judge Takaoka on. His distribution was pretty spot on, and … Source

Wednesday night at Estadio Jose Rafael Meza, the Vancouver Whitecaps played out a scoreless draw against C.S. Cartaginés to open their 2026 competitive calendar with some continental action. As is typical in these early Concacaf rounds, Cartaginés came in with a clear and disciplined plan. They were prepared to sit deep, defend in numbers, and absorb waves of Vancouver pressure with a compact defensive block. … Source

For the second straight year, the Vancouver Whitecaps will open their season with a trip to Costa Rica, as they open their CONCACAF Champions Cup campaign as Cartaginés on Wednesday. This time, the expectations for the ‘Caps in this competition will be somewhat different, going from “happy to be here” to believing that they will be a genuine threat to win CCC after their trip … Source

Welcome back, everyone! Whitecaps action is back for 2026, starting with a CONCACAF tie down in Costa Rica against C.S. Cartaginés. The hosts are currently second in the Clausura table and finished third in the Apertura, so this is a side in solid form and well into their season, rather than just getting started. They’re also a low-scoring team with strong defensive numbers, so expect … Source

Good Friday morning Caps fans. I hope you all are having a lovely week and that you’re enjoying your last Whitecaps-free weekend. Well, it is the best time of the year. No, it isn’t because we have real, meaningful soccer games to watch in less than a week. We don’t even have a new signing to unpack. Instead, it is something far better: jersey release … Source

There is a lot of discussion at the moment about how much money the Vancouver Whitecaps make. One thing I have seen come up a few times in various comment sections is that they are making money from selling players. This piqued my interest, so I decided to take a look at if the Whitecaps have been profitable player traders (spoiler alert: mostly not) and … Source
