So, let’s see what the ‘Caps got. Zach Ramsey/CM/17th Overall The Whitecaps acquired this pick this morning … Source

Every year, there are a lot of posts about which CPL players might make the jump to MLS. Many of these posts are, frankly, very silly. So, I am once again here to provide you with the definitive, sensible list of CPL players who are potentially interesting. This list is from a Whitecaps perspective, so it’s mostly aimed at filling positions on WFC2 where they … Source

Welcome back, everyone. The Vancouver Whitecaps came up one match short of the promised land this season, bowing out in the MLS Cup Final to Inter Miami. Despite the frustrating ending, it was a wonderful season of football in Vancouver, and I hope you enjoyed the highs and lows along the way as much as I did. With that said, it’s time to get down … Source

Good Monday morning Caps fans. I hope you are having a good start to your week and to the off-season. The Caps threw a spanner in the works last week with the stadium, disrupting the typical off-season flow (not in a bad way though). We still have plenty to digest, however, with the club making decisions on contracts heading into next year. Some moves were … Source

Things are happening in Whitecaps land. Tom Bogert has reported that the Whitecaps have firm offers for at least 7 players on their roster. So, I want to take a look at some players who could plausibly have interest and try to determine if it’s a better idea to cash in on them or to hold on to them. I will give each player a … Source

Saturday in Florida, the Vancouver Whitecaps contested their first ever MLS Cup Final, as they fell by a final score of 3-1 to Inter Miami. The final score only tells a very small part of the story, as this was a match that was incredibly entertaining and well contested throughout, and it was only when Miami scored an insurance marker deep into extra time that … Source

Good Monday morning Caps fans. I hope you all are having a good start to the week and that the pain of Saturday has worn off at least somewhat. While the 5-0 CCL final loss sucked, there’s no two ways about it — what happened Saturday was way more painful. While the Caps were always second best to Cruz Azul, they were the better team … Source

Vancouver Whitecaps were defeated 3-1 in the MLS Cup final after a disappointing result against Inter Miami. It all got off to a nightmare start. It was far too easy for Lionel Messi to play a ball behind the Whitecaps defence, and Ocampo played Allende onside before diverting the ball beyond Takaoka and into the Vancouver net to hand Miami the advantage. Being behind before … Source

Good Friday morning Caps fans, I hope you all are having a good week and that you have big plans for watching the game tomorrow. It is still difficult to wrap your head around the fact that the Vancouver Whitecaps are in MLS Cup, but that is what will happen in 24 hours or so. It goes without saying that this is a big match, … Source

It all comes down to this. After an improbable, incredible season, the Vancouver Whitecaps will play for their first MLS Cup on Saturday. To claim the biggest trophy of them all, they’ll have to dethrone Lionel Messi and Inter Miami at Chase Stadium. It’s worth repeating just how remarkable it is that Vancouver has reached this point. Anyone who genuinely thought this outcome was in … Source

Welcome back, everyone. This is it, one more match. The Vancouver Whitecaps are in Miami this weekend to contest their first ever MLS Cup Final against Inter Miami. There should not be too many surprises when it comes to the lineup; however, Tristan Blackmon is back from suspension, so there might be one change along the backline. How will Jesper handle it? We will have … Source

As we fast approach the Vancouver Whitecaps’ first MLS Cup Final appearance, I want to take some time to talk about the value of high expectations and a good system. I was inspired by a Glass City tweet which contains the following quote from Kristian Jack: “Bournemouth don’t expect to beat Manchester United when they host them a home, but they do their best…and it’s … Source

San Diego FC may have gotten one over on the Whitecaps in the regular season, but Vancouver made it quickly apparent that they weren’t going to let that happen in the postseason, delivering a comprehensive 3–1 win this past Saturday. Vancouver blitzed the expansion side in the first half behind a brace from Brian White and managed to avoid any sort of repeat of the … Source

This is not a drill. The Vancouver Whitecaps are Western Conference Champions for the first time ever. Jesper Sørensen’s men produced a scintillating performance from start to finish to book their place in Miami for the MLS Cup Final, with an own goal and a brace from Brian White enough to cap a 3–1 scoreline that does not do a remarkably dominant display justice. It … Source

Saturday night, the top two seeds in the Western Conference will fight it out for a spot in the MLS Cup Final on December 6th. For Vancouver, this has been over 10 years in the making. Meanwhile, down in San Diego, no one expected them to be here in their inaugural season. Don’t let those histories mislead you, however. Both of these teams absolutely deserve … Source
