Good Monday morning Caps fans. Hope you all had a lovely weekend and are gearing up for the week ahead. It has been a fun start to the World Cup on the pitch, with some dramatic late moments, absorbing matches, and electric energy in the stands. Canada probably wished their start was just a bit more fun. After a nervy start to their World Cup … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday June 15
Good Monday morning Caps fans. Hope you are all gearing up for post holiday life and that the start of your week is going well. It appears the next major domino has fallen in the Whitecaps’ off-season, with Ali Ahmed now officially sold to Norwich City in the Championship. The exact fee isn’t yet known, but it is rumored to be around £1.4 million, which … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday January 5
Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all are having a good week and that the weekend is coming into focus. The Vancouver Whitecaps are spared the indignity of a game three this weekend, leaving us all without a ton to do for a few weeks. Given the pause, however, I thought it would make sense to return to the MLS salary numbers that dropped … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday November 7
Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had a restful and enjoyable weekend and are gearing up for the week ahead. It was a busy international window for the Caps who are off representing their countries. Tristan Blackmon and Sebastian Berhalter started for the USMNT against South Korea over the weekend (the less said about that match the better), while we covered Andres Cubas’ … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday September 8
Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all are having a good Labour Day and that you’re enjoying a prolonged break. We remain on a prolonged pause from Whitecaps soccer, with an eventful weekend in MLS/Leagues Cup — but not for Vancouver. The bit of news to pop up that involves the Caps is a follow up on the Ali Ahmed rumors from Friday. While … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday September 1
Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all are gearing up for Labour Day and the last days of summer. Vancouver are on hiatus for this week, with Orlando City appearing in the Leagues Cup third place match Saturday instead of coming to BC Place. There are a lot of jokes to be made here but, in seriousness, it sucks for the Caps, who already … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday August 29
Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all are having a lovely week and that the weekend is starting to come into focus. The Caps return this week, as a date with the worst team in the league, the New England Revolution, beckons. Given that the Revs won last Saturday during the weird international break matchweek, it certainly is possible for them to do some … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday June 14
Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had a relaxing weekend and that your body clocks aren’t too thrown off by bouncing an hour ahead. It was a productive trip to Northern California this weekend, as Vancouver earned their first win of the season, only the second time they have ever won away to San Jose. It won’t be considered a beautiful win, as … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday March 11
Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all are having a good week and that March brings you good things and spring weather. We are on the eve of the 2024 opener for the Caps and it is somewhat surreal to be about to embark on another season here with these fine writers and you fine readers. I’m excited about what is forthcoming, both on … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday March 1
Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all are starting your new year off right and that your holiday period was restful and restorative. 2024 has started with a bang in MLS silly season, for reasons largely unrelated to the Caps (if you’re a Rapids fan, however, you’ve likely been quite busy). But Tom Bogert of The Athletic is reporting a juicy morsel: Vancouver is … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday January 5
