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

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.

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.

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

However, maybe—just maybe—the tide may be turning, at least in soccer. After Vancouver Rise won the inaugural NSL title, the Whitecaps won what might be the most enthralling playoff game they have ever … Source
