Match Preview: Best in the West
On Sunday afternoon, Vancouver Whitecaps welcome Seattle Sounders to BC Place having already secured the top seed in the West, and looking to complete a Cascadia clean sweep.

Coffee with the Caps, Friday October 30
Good Friday morning Caps fans. I hope you all are having a good end to your week and that a well-deserved Halloween break is coming into focus.

Post Match: Strolling Past San Diego
Wednesday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps came away with a confident 4-1 win over San Diego FC, moving closer to securing their first-ever finish atop the Western Conference. Jesper Sørensen, rather surprisingly, made a major tactical tweak going into the match, starting Rayan Elloumi up front alongside Brian White. This pushed Ryan Gauld into a more traditional wide role and asked a lot … Continue reading Post Match: Strolling Past San Diego
Match Preview: Coming Home
The Vancouver Whitecaps return home to BC Place with a must-win midweek fixture on the horizon against San Diego FC. Pretty much every match is a must-win one at this point, with the Caps immediately squandering the breathing room they had gained for themselves with their 1-0 loss to Colorado over the weekend. That leaves them just one point ahead of FC Dallas for first … Continue reading Match Preview: Coming Home

Coffee with the Caps, Monday October 26
Good Monday morning Caps fans. I hope you all are having a good start to your week and that the weekend treated you well. It was a no good, very bad ending to what had previously been a decent road trip. The Caps got thoroughly outplayed and couldn’t have been mad when Morgan Whittaker scored in the 81st minute to give the Colorado Rapids all … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday October 26
Post Match: Washed Away
Saturday night in Colorado, the Vancouver Whitecaps wrapped up their road trip with a 1-0 loss to the Rapids at Dick’s Sporting Goods Park. For whatever reason, this team seems determined not to build any momentum heading into the MLS Cup Playoffs. This match continued the trend of the Whitecaps remaining at the top of the West while looking rather listless in doing so, albeit … Continue reading Post Match: Washed Away
Match Preview: Road Stand Ends in Rockies
On Saturday night, Vancouver Whitecaps continue their quest to finish top of the Western Conference when they travel to Colorado Rapids for the final match of their five-match road trip.

Guess the Starting XI – Match Thirty One vs. Colorado
Welcome back, everyone. The Vancouver Whitecaps are closing out their road trip this weekend with a visit to the Colorado Rapids.

With a tough schedule ahead, they’ll be looking to take advantage of home field … Continue reading Guess the Starting XI – Match Thirty One vs. Colorado
