Canada Ruthless in Gold Cup Opener vs. Honduras
Tuesday night at BC Place, the Canadian Men’s National Team opened their Concacaf Gold Cup campaign with a resounding 6-0 win over Honduras. The evolution of this national team over the past 5 years has been pretty dramatic. That goes without saying for almost anyone who has followed the game in this country over that period, and this match at BC Place was a reminder … Continue reading Canada Ruthless in Gold Cup Opener vs. Honduras
Coffee with the Caps, Monday June 16
Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had a glorious summer weekend and that the start of your week is a good one. Well, all good things must end and that includes the Whitecaps’ team record unbeaten run, which was halted at the hands of the Columbus Crew on Saturday night. The Caps were bound to feel the lack of depth (in addition to … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday June 16
Report Card: Unbeaten Streak Ends
The Vancouver Whitecaps succumbed to a frustrating first away defeat of the season as they lost 2-1 at Columbus Crew. Whilst defeats are annoying, I doubt that Jesper Sørensen will be too concerned by this game. Even though they had just lost 5-1 to Inter Miami and were 6 without a win, the Crew are still one of the best teams in MLS, yet even … Continue reading Report Card: Unbeaten Streak Ends
Post Match: Flubbed
It has been 2 months and 11 games since the Vancouver Whitecaps lost a game in MLS. But all good things must come to an end as a shorthanded Whitecaps team fell to a slightly less shorthanded Columbus Crew 2-1. It was the first time the Whitecaps had lost an MLS game on the road since being eliminated from the playoffs by LAFC last season. … Continue reading Post Match: Flubbed
Whitecaps and Crew Meet in Battle of Shorthanded Heavyweights
Two of MLS’ heavyweights will be in action Saturday night, as the Whitecaps travel eastward to take on the Columbus Crew in a matchup of two teams who, on paper, look a lot alike. Like many Eastern Conference teams, the Caps don’t see the Crew all that much — this is the first matchup between the two teams since 2022. Vancouver has never faced them … Continue reading Whitecaps and Crew Meet in Battle of Shorthanded Heavyweights
Guess the Starting XI – Match Seventeen vs. Columbus

Whitecaps and Crew Meet in Battle of Shorthanded Heavyweights In terms of squad availability, Vancouver … Continue reading Guess the Starting XI – Match Seventeen vs. Columbus

Rise and the Return of Quinn: Week Nine in the NSL
The Vancouver Rise had their second rematch with the Montreal Roses and with the return of Quinn, with the stand outs of Jasmyn Spencer, Holly Ward, Lisa Perchersky and of course, the steadfast Morgan Mcaslan, there was hope for a strong match against the Roses. However, even the first minutes on the pitch were clouded by a sluggish pace from the Rise versus the electric … Continue reading Rise and the Return of Quinn: Week Nine in the NSL
Report Card: Well That Was Unexpected
Raise your hand if you saw that coming? OK, now put your hand down. The Vancouver Whitecaps had enough of their first-teamers on the mend to put together a credible starting XI on Sunday night, but no one foresaw a 3-0 drubbing of a lacklustre Seattle Sounders side. Jeevan Badwal opened his Whitecaps account and Tristan Blackmon cut open the Sounders backline forcing a pair … Continue reading Report Card: Well That Was Unexpected
