Good Monday morning Caps fans — hope you all had a lovely summer weekend and that the start to your workweek hasn’t been too painful. The Caps trotted out mainly backups and Whitecaps 2 players in a 4-1 defeat to Wrexham on the grass or BC Place on Saturday, signaling how seriously Vanni Sartini and company took the friendly, Ryan Reynolds be damned. My response … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday July 29

Good Monday morning Caps fans — hope your weekend was a good one and you are making the most of the last two weeks of 2024.

Good Monday afternoon Caps fans, hope you all are rested and ready for the week ahead. Apologies for the delayed posting — I had this all written out and never hit publish.

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

A late Brian White winner lifted the Caps to the knockout stages of Leagues Cup, polishing off LA Galaxy 2-1 in another second half turnaround for Vancouver. It was, truth be told, a bit of a smash and grab, with an own goal and White’s late poach doing enough to erase a rather mediocre match for the Caps, who did enough to ensure the Galaxy … Continue reading Knock out punch: Late winner sees Vancouver Whitecaps advance in Leagues Cup
