Report Card: Deadlocked at the Top of the Table
Well, the Whitecaps’ 1-1 draw with LAFC on Saturday was not nearly as scintillating as the last time these two teams met on the pitch. But while the Caps were not as clinical as they should have been, this was still likely the most encouraging performance since the World Cup break ended. LAFC dared the Caps to break them down and found success with their … Continue reading Report Card: Deadlocked at the Top of the Table
Post Match: Lulled by LAFC
It wasn’t the return to BC Place that the Vancouver Whitecaps were quite hoping for, as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw with LAFC on Saturday. Despite a strong showing from the Whitecaps, who spent most of the game on the front foot, they were made to pay for a key defensive error, one that allowed LAFC to grab a first-half lead. From … Continue reading Post Match: Lulled by LAFC

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.

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

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 … Continue reading Post Match: Lethargic in Loon-Land

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.
