Good Monday morning Caps fans. Hope you all had a lovely weekend and are having a good start to your week. Hopefully, your weekend also wasn’t marred by an infuriating display on Sunday night from the Whitecaps, who beat themselves (with some help from Christian Ramirez and referee Victor Rivas) in a 2-1 loss to Austin FC. That defeat will pretty much cede the Supporters … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday September 14
Good Friday morning Caps fans. I hope you all are having a good week and that you have a fun and restful weekend ahead. The Whitecaps have proven adept at bouncing back after a disappointing performance and that was certainly the case on Wednesday night against the LA Galaxy. While the Galaxy had some transition moments in the first half that could have been something, … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday September 11
Good Monday morning Caps fans. I hope you are having a good Labour Day holiday and that the long weekend is treating you well. The Caps ran up against a red hot St. Louis City team on Saturday, but once again their 3-1 loss seemed more self inflicted than anything else. To be sure, St. Louis is in excellent form right now. And they had … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday September 7
Good Friday morning, Caps fans. I hope you’re having a good week and that the early days of September are treating you well so far. It was a subpar start to the Canadian Championship semifinals on Wednesday night, with the Caps managing only a 1-1 draw in a match they dominated by pretty much every statistical metric. But this was also a match replete with … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday September 4
Good Monday morning Caps fans. I hope you all had a great weekend and that the arrival of the workweek hasn’t been too painful. The Whitecaps took care of business on Saturday against lowly Sporting Kansas City. Despite my joking that SKC would find a way to get a result because MLS is weird, the gulf between the two clubs was simply too large to … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday August 31
Good Friday morning Caps fans. Hope you all are having a good week and that the last few days of August are treating you well. The Caps will end August with a trip to Sporting KC, who are not only at the bottom of the league table but are currently on pace to set a number of records for their poor defensive output. They also … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday August 28
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.
