The club announced Thursday that … Continue reading Coffee with the Caps, Friday December 19
Good Monday morning Caps fans, hope you all are having a lovely start to your week. It was a hard fought draw for Vancouver on Sunday and while they weren’t able to overcome the longtime nemesis that is LAFC, a point is a pretty good result all things considered.

The Caps earned a point on the road in central Texas Saturday, battling Austin FC to a 0-0 draw to preserve their unbeaten run against a key Western Conference rival. It was not a banner attacking display, with the Caps unable to convert a few high-quality chances, but their defensive solidity shut down Austin’s high-volume but lower quality offensive opportunities.
