Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope the first match of the season brought you joy and that your week ahead is equally lovely. The performance from the Caps on Saturday afternoon wasn’t exactly lovely but it was enough to earn a 1-1 draw with Charlotte. Notoriously slow starters thar Vancouver is that’s probably a fine result as there are still some major kinks to work … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday March 4

Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had a relaxing weekend and enjoyed your last Saturday without the Whitecaps for a long while. It felt weird watching the opening weekend of MLS, knowing I had no match duties and didn’t have to concern myself with the Caps. I did a bit of recon on their opponent next week, Charlotte FC, who had a tidy … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday February 26

Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had a good weekend and are having some coffee and getting ready for the week ahead.

Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all had an enjoyable week and are looking forward to some well-deserved time off. Vancouver also will be getting some time off from its CONCACAF adventures, officially exiting the Champions Cup on Wednesday after an unflattering 3-0 loss to Tigres in Monterrey, despite a generally solid performance. That isn’t to say that the Caps didn’t leave a good … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday February 16
A valiant performance in Mexico was not enough to see Vancouver Whitecaps through in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, as they fell to Tigres 3-0 to end their continental hopes. Vancouver couldn’t capitalize on a bright start to the match and the second half brought a more dominant Tigres side, who scored two goals to get the job done, even though the scoreline obscured another solid … Continue reading Misadventure in Mexico: Whitecaps’ CONCACAF run flames out
Good Monday morning Caps fans, I hope you all had a restful and relaxing weekend and have lots of love in your life this week in time for Valentine’s Day (or candy, that works too). On Wednesday we go again in the CONCACAF Champions Cup and, well, it’s going to be a tough one, there’s no doubt about it. Vanni Sartini will have his squad … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday February 12
Death, taxes and Andre-Pierre Gignac scoring against the Caps. Even a very good performance for 87 minutes couldn’t erase those essential truths, but Caps fans will have plenty of positive takeaways to draw from their 1-1 draw against Tigres in the first leg of their CONCACAF Champions Cup tie. How did the new arrivals fare? Who could make an impact once MLS play starts up? … Continue reading Report Card: So close, yet so far
