Report Card: Gauld & the newcomers shine as Vancouver survives late Portland push

The Caps enjoy making things hard on themselves (and us) but they did enough to grab a 3-2 win over Portland Timbers in their penultimate Cascadia derby of the year. There was a lot to like, as the wide players and Ryan Gauld started to click. What does that mean for the report card grades? Scroll on. Yohei Takaoka: 6 A gutsy performance after sustaining … Continue reading Report Card: Gauld & the newcomers shine as Vancouver survives late Portland push

Report Card: Whitecaps’ MLS return doesn’t go as planned

The last match before a long, long road trip for the Caps was not a happy one, with a brief moment of counter attacking efficiency being all San Jose needed to take all three points at BC Place. The first match back from Leagues Cup was a performance where Vancouver will consider themselves wasteful not to get a result — but what does it mean … Continue reading Report Card: Whitecaps’ MLS return doesn’t go as planned

Report Card: Whitecaps exit Leagues Cup with a familiar twist

The Whitecaps welcomed Tigres UANL back to BC Place for the first time since their 2017 CCL run. On the night, the Whitecaps struck early and looked dominant in the first half, which was a sight to see. However, they conceded early in the second half on a moment of Gignac magic, and from there on out, looked a little less sure of themselves. In … Continue reading Report Card: Whitecaps exit Leagues Cup with a familiar twist

Report Card: Lock of the Week

Here are the grades from Vancouver’s 2-1 win over Austin FC. Yohei Takaoka: 6.0 The goal was a little on the iffy side, but his distribution was once again very good. He was only forced into one other save.  Tristan Blackmon: 6.5 He doesn’t look as though he’s over his injury just yet. He was very close to blowing the whole thing at the end, but he … Continue reading Report Card: Lock of the Week

Report Card: Three Set Pieces and a Funeral

Man, I can’t believe they blew it.   Yohei Takaoka: 7.0 I don’t think much blame could be assigned to him on the goals against. He was involved in a goal for (you know when Takaoka plays the ball long you’re going to see some wild scenes when the camera pans), and made a couple of decent saves. Mathias Labaorda: 7.0 Honestly, I thought he was pretty … Continue reading Report Card: Three Set Pieces and a Funeral

Report Card: Whitecaps revert to old habits vs. Sporting KC

Saturday night at Children’s Mercy Park, the Vancouver Whitecaps were comprehensively defeated by Sporting Kansas City by a final score of 3-0. After the rampant optimism following last weekend’s big road win, as well as Sporting’s mediocre form coming into the match, expectations were high for the Whitecaps. Unfortunately, they failed to deliver, looking more like the team they were early in the season, one … Continue reading Report Card: Whitecaps revert to old habits vs. Sporting KC
