Post Match: A Tradwin in Utah
Saturday night in Utah, the Vancouver Whitecaps looked a little bit more like themselves, as they overran a Real Salt Lake team in freefall by a score of 3-0. Certainly, the Whitecaps were facing a team in very poor form, with perhaps even lower confidence levels and a whole host of injuries, but nonetheless, I think there were some moments in this match that the … Continue reading Post Match: A Tradwin in Utah

Guess the Starting XI – Match Twenty Five vs. RSL
Welcome back, everyone. The Vancouver Whitecaps must reset quickly after being bounced from the Canadian Championship midweek, as they are down in Utah this weekend, taking on Real Salt Lake.

Coffee with the Caps, Monday September 14
Good Monday morning Caps fans. Hope you all had a lovely weekend and are having a good start to your week. Hopefully, your weekend also wasn’t marred by an infuriating display on Sunday night from the Whitecaps, who beat themselves (with some help from Christian Ramirez and referee Victor Rivas) in a 2-1 loss to Austin FC.

Post Match: Laying An Egg
In a massive blow to the Whitecaps’ fading Supporters’ Shield hopes, Vancouver dropped all three points at BC Place to lowly Austin FC. Christian Ramirez converted the only two chances for the away team, and a well-organized Austin side mastered the dark arts to pull out a 2-1 win.
