Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had a lovely weekend and enjoyed a well-deserved break. There was no break from Vancouver’s winning ways, as the Whitecaps shut down any possibility of a hangover from their midweek upset of Monterrey. Instead, they shut down Dallas, who were bereft of ideas and mustered few meaningful chances, even when chasing the match. The Whitecaps, by contrast, … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday March 17
Anyone hoping for a letdown from the Whitecaps after their midweek triumph in CONCACAF Champions Cup were left disappointed, with a dominant 1-0 win over FC Dallas on Saturday.

The fact that much of the Caps’ starting XI was away on international duty created some chances for depth players to shine — and they largely did. Meanwhile, … Continue reading Report Card: Caps get everything but the goal
By: Alexandre Gangue-Ruzic and Samuel Rowan Saturday night, the Vancouver Whitecaps played out a 0-0 draw with FC Dallas at BC Place. Although the match was frustrating for Vancouver in the sense that the Whitecaps failed to come away with a full three point result, it was positive in terms of how Vanni Sartini’s side dominated the match, especially while relying on so many depth … Continue reading Post Match: Missing the cherry on top
