Vancouver grabbed a 1-1 draw for the second straight week, sharing the spoils with fellow Western Conference frontrunners San Jose Earthquakes in a bruising matchup Saturday night.

Coffee with the Caps, Monday March 23

Good Monday morning, Caps fans. Hope you had a good weekend and that the week ahead is a good one. The Caps’ perfect start was foiled by San Jose, with a belter from Beau Leroux being the only thing separating the two sides. Credit to San Jose, who have vastly improved their defensive shape since these two teams last met at BC Place. This was … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday March 23

Post Match: Shaken up by the ‘Quakes

The Vancouver Whitecaps’ strong start to the 2025 MLS season came to a screeching halt on Saturday, as they fell 1-0 to the San Jose Earthquakes at BC Place, snapping a four-game winning streak in league play. Just days after their elimination from the Concacaf Champions Cup at the hands of the Seattle Sounders, some of the same problems that plagued the Whitecaps in Spokane … Continue reading Post Match: Shaken up by the ‘Quakes

Coffee with the Caps, Monday October 6

Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all had a relaxing weekend and that you are in for a lovely week ahead. A rare Sunday fixture did little to slow down the Vancouver Whitecaps, who shredded San Jose 4-1 on Sunday in yet another attacking masterclass. Vancouver expertly exploited the Quakes’ lax midfield play. Yohei Takaoka bypassed large chunks of San Jose’s midfield with his … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday October 6

Coffee with the Caps, Monday August 11

Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all are well rested and having a good start to your work week. It almost seems pointless to break down Saturday’s 2-1 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes, which was marred by another Time Ford disasterclass in a Whitecaps match. If you watched the match, I don’t need to provide any analysis of the horrific quality of the … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Monday August 11

Eighty Six Forever, Report Card, Vancouver Whitecaps FC

Report Card: Highway Robbery

The report card is a valuable tool that we produce, giving those who watched the match something to debate, and those who didn’t possibly get an insight into who played well and who didn’t. It has less utility if an external event has a disproportionate impact on the match, such as a hurricane, locusts, or Tim Ford being the worst referee on planet earth. The … Continue reading Report Card: Highway Robbery

Match Preview: Whitecaps aim to avoid trap against struggling San Jose

The Vancouver Whitecaps wrap up a two-match homestand on Saturday with a prime opportunity for three points Saturday, as they take on San Jose Earthquakes. The Quakes have endured a rough season.
