Post Match: All to Play for in the Canadian Championship

The Vancouver Whitecaps will enter the second leg of the Canadian Championship semis on level terms, after they could only manage a 1-1 draw with Montreal on Wednesday at BC Place. The Caps dominated by pretty much every statistical metric, but a wondergoal from Dani Pereira and a resolute, physical performance from Montreal left the Caps frustrated. A goal from Ryan Gauld was enough to … Continue reading Post Match: All to Play for in the Canadian Championship

Post Match: No Sweat

In a match between MLS’ worst team and one of its best, the Vancouver Whitecaps had no trouble blanking Sporting Kansas City in a professional 3-0 win on Saturday night. There aren’t a lot of big lessons to take from this one, beyond the large gap between these two clubs. The Caps weren’t at their cleanest early on, but they spiffed up nicely over the … Continue reading Post Match: No Sweat

Post Match: Home Frustration

Wednesday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps fell 1-0 to the now conference-leading Houston Dynamo (although the Whitecaps still lead on points percentage) in a match that featured plenty of interesting talking points and key moments, despite there being just a single goal. This is a bit of an odd phase of the season for the Whitecaps, as these remaining regular-season games don’t feel … Continue reading Post Match: Home Frustration

Post Match: Monterrey Madness

Tuesday night at El Volcán, the Vancouver Whitecaps drew Tigres UANL 1-1 before losing 5-4 on penalties. Overall, this was a nightmare Leagues Cup for Vancouver, and one they will be looking to quickly forget. That being said, the second half of this match against Tigres was memorable and entertaining.

Post Match: Bad Finishing, Bad Vibes

The vibes for the Vancouver Whitecaps have sunk even further, as the Caps fell 3-1 to Liga MX bottom feeders Juarez in a match that further cemented Vancouver’s finishing woes. While the Caps had little to play for, it seemed like they were back on track with an early Jeevan Badwal goal.

Post Match: Five Without a Win, Cause for Concern?

Tuesday night at BC Place, the Vancouver Whitecaps opened their Leagues Cup campaign with a 1-0 loss to Atlante FC. Before the match had even started, you got a sense of Jesper Sørensen’s approach to this tournament, as he elected to field a heavily rotated XI, including the likes of Nikola Djordjevic, JC Ngando, and Rayan Elloumi. Some of that, certainly, was because of the … Continue reading Post Match: Five Without a Win, Cause for Concern?

Post Match: Lulled by LAFC

It wasn’t the return to BC Place that the Vancouver Whitecaps were quite hoping for, as they had to settle for a 1-1 draw with LAFC on Saturday. Despite a strong showing from the Whitecaps, who spent most of the game on the front foot, they were made to pay for a key defensive error, one that allowed LAFC to grab a first-half lead. From … Continue reading Post Match: Lulled by LAFC

Post Match: Lethargic in Loon-Land

As far as points earned in the Vancouver Whitecaps’ Jesper Sørensen era, their 0-0 road draw with Minnesota United on Saturday won’t rank too highly. Days after a frustrating 4-3 road loss to FC Cincinnati, the Whitecaps found a way to rebound defensively, but did so at the cost of their offence. As a result, they gritted their way to their first 0-0 draw since … Continue reading Post Match: Lethargic in Loon-Land
