This list is from a Whitecaps perspective, so it’s mostly aimed at filling positions on WFC2 where they … Continue reading CPL Players I Would Take a Punt on (2025)

Welcome back, everyone. The Vancouver Whitecaps came up one match short of the promised land this season, bowing out in the MLS Cup Final to Inter Miami. Despite the frustrating ending, it was a wonderful season of football in Vancouver, and I hope you enjoyed the highs and lows along the way as much as I did. With that said, it’s time to get down … Continue reading Guess the Starting XI – End of Year Awards

The Price is Right: Which Players Should the Whitecaps Sell?

Things are happening in Whitecaps land. Tom Bogert has reported that the Whitecaps have firm offers for at least 7 players on their roster. So, I want to take a look at some players who could plausibly have interest and try to determine if it’s a better idea to cash in on them or to hold on to them. I will give each player a … Continue reading The Price is Right: Which Players Should the Whitecaps Sell?

Report Card: Cup Final Blues

Saturday in Florida, the Vancouver Whitecaps contested their first ever MLS Cup Final, as they fell by a final score of 3-1 to Inter Miami. The final score only tells a very small part of the story, as this was a match that was incredibly entertaining and well contested throughout, and it was only when Miami scored an insurance marker deep into extra time that … Continue reading Report Card: Cup Final Blues

Post Match: Heartbreak

Vancouver Whitecaps were defeated 3-1 in the MLS Cup final after a disappointing result against Inter Miami. It all got off to a nightmare start. It was far too easy for Lionel Messi to play a ball behind the Whitecaps defence, and Ocampo played Allende onside before diverting the ball beyond Takaoka and into the Vancouver net to hand Miami the advantage. Being behind before … Continue reading Post Match: Heartbreak

It all comes down to this. After an improbable, incredible season, the Vancouver Whitecaps will play for their first MLS Cup on Saturday. To claim the biggest trophy of them all, they’ll have to dethrone Lionel Messi and Inter Miami at Chase Stadium. It’s worth repeating just how remarkable it is that Vancouver has reached this point.

Guess the Starting XI – MLS Cup Final

Welcome back, everyone. This is it, one more match. The Vancouver Whitecaps are in Miami this weekend to contest their first ever MLS Cup Final against Inter Miami. There should not be too many surprises when it comes to the lineup; however, Tristan Blackmon is back from suspension, so there might be one change along the backline. How will Jesper handle it? We will have … Continue reading Guess the Starting XI – MLS Cup Final

The Value of High Expectations and a Good System

As we fast approach the Vancouver Whitecaps’ first MLS Cup Final appearance, I want to take some time to talk about the value of high expectations and a good system. I was inspired by a Glass City tweet which contains the following quote from Kristian Jack: “Bournemouth don’t expect to beat Manchester United when they host them a home, but they do their best…and it’s … Continue reading The Value of High Expectations and a Good System

Report Card: One More Match

San Diego FC may have gotten one over on the Whitecaps in the regular season, but Vancouver made it quickly apparent that they weren’t going to let that happen in the postseason, delivering a comprehensive 3–1 win this past Saturday. Vancouver blitzed the expansion side in the first half behind a brace from Brian White and managed to avoid any sort of repeat of the … Continue reading Report Card: One More Match
