While you struggle to pinpoint too many … Continue reading Report Card: Top of the League

Vancouver Whitecaps emphatically responded to their first defeat of the season midweek with a thumping 6-0 victory over Minnesota United. The Whitecaps started the game in control of proceedings, pinning Minnesota back into their own area.

I know it feels like a long time ago now, but cast your minds back to the start of the 2025 season. Vancouver Whitecaps were, frankly, in turmoil. With the club up for sale, rumours were swirling of the team relocating, and after Vanni Sartini and Stuart Armstrong departed the club, there was an expectation throughout MLS circles that a promising team was on the … Continue reading Revisiting our 2025 Season Predictions
Vancouver Whitecaps were defeated 3-1 in the MLS Cup final after a disappointing result against Inter Miami. It all got off to a nightmare start.
