Welcome back, everyone. After a disappointing trip to Houston, the Vancouver Whitecaps will finish off their week with a trip to Sandy, Utah, for an encounter with Real Salt Lake. As with the Dynamo, RSL is right behind Vancouver in the standings going into the match, so it represents another potential six-point swing between these teams that could be vital come the end of October. … Continue reading Guess the Starting XI – Match 29 at Real Salt Lake

Welcome back, everyone. The Vancouver Whitecaps continue to roll on with their extended road-trip, this time playing mid-week in Houston against the Dynamo. The Dynamo have been a much different outfit in 2023 than in recent years, playing attractive football, finding themselves right beside the Whitecaps in the Western Conference standings, and reaching the US Open Cup final.

It’s been a while since the Vancouver Whitecaps have faced Tigres UANL, 2017 to be exact, where the Carl Robinson led side was comprehensively defeated 4-1 over two legs in the Champions League.
