Good Monday morning Caps fans. I hope you all had a lovely weekend and are gearing up for whatever this week has in store. Well, Saturday was fun. The Caps decided to take out weeks’ worth of frustration on a rotated FC Dallas side that had no answer for Vancouver’s first-choice XI, which was firing on all cylinders. Four first-half goals, including a brace from … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday August 24
Good Friday morning Caps fans. I hope you all are winding down your week and that your weekend is restful and enjoyable. Well, the Caps’ winning streak will remain stuck at one, with Vancouver falling 1-0 to Houston in a vital game in the midweek, which drops them out of the top spot in the west (albeit with a game in hand still remaining over … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday August 21
Good Monday morning Caps fans. I hope you all are having a good start to your week and that you’re well rested after the weekend. It was a nice end to the weekend on Sunday night, with the Caps getting right again with a 2-0 win over Seattle to claim not only a much needed three points but also the Cascadia Cup. This has not … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday August 17
Good Friday morning Caps fans. I hope you all are having a good week and are settling in for a well earned rest this weekend. Apologies for the late post — this is more “wine with the Caps” but I hope it finds you well. The Whitecaps wrapped up Leagues Cup play (thank God) with their trip to Tigres on Tuesday and it actually went … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday August 14
Good Monday morning Caps fans. I hope you all had a good weekend and are ready for whatever comes your way this week. The vibes somehow managed to sink even lower for the Whitecaps, with a 3-1 loss to Liga MX bottom feeders Juarez on Friday, demoralizing even Leagues Cup haters like myself. I cautioned patience on Friday and I do think a dead rubber … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday August 10
Good Friday morning Caps fans. Hope you’ve been having a great week and are gearing up for a break this weekend. The Caps’ Leagues Cup adventure did not begin the way they hoped, as they were soundly outplayed by Liga MX newcomers Atlante on Tuesday at BC Place. The 1-0 defeat likely takes the Caps out of the running to advance, as you have to … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday August 7
Good Monday morning Caps fans. Hope your August is off to a good start and you are enjoying the long weekend and BC Day. It wasn’t a win but a 1-1 draw with LAFC to head into the Leagues Cup break isn’t a bad result. The 40,000-plus at BC Place were treated to a game where the Caps repeatedly did everything but score and LAFC … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday August 3
Good Friday morning Caps fans. Hope it’s been a good week and that you are making plans to start your August off right. At long last, the Vancouver Whitecaps will return to BC Place and, boy, what a marquée matchup awaits them, as Son and LAFC come to town. Absence makes the heart grow fonder, and I’m sure the building will be packed for the … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday July 31
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. I will confess that I didn’t watch live but it doesn’t seem like much was missed. Vancouver over corrected from their 4-3 loss in Cincinnati by strengthening the backline but … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday July 27
Good Friday morning Caps fans. Hope you all are having a good week and that you are ready for the weekend. The big news of this week was not Vancouver’s disappointing (yet electric) 4-3 loss to FC Cincinnati on Wednesday. If only that were the biggest disappointment of the week. No, it appears the Caps have finalized a deal to sell Sebastian Berhalter to Championship … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday July 24
