We got a streak going – Whitecaps 3-1 Endangered Species

By: Lee | Comments 2 Comments

The Whitecaps win again!
Wow, it feels good to right that down, as it is not something I’ve done a lot this season. The Whitecaps have struggled to consistently perform well: one day we’ll play great and then the next game we’ll be quickly down two goals and then fight to get back in the [...]

Ugly Weather, Nice Result – Whitecaps 4-2 Islanders

By: Lee | Comments No Comments

Teams have a habit of responding when things get ugly. Of course there are exceptions (see New York Red Bulls), but it is remarkable how well teams play soon after a coach is fired or something controversial or tragic happens off the pitch.
Things were certainly ugly for the Whitecaps with the release of Wesley [...]

Wes Charles Released

By: Lee | Comments 3 Comments

Just when you thought that the Whitecaps season was already weird it gets weirder. Wesley Charles was released yesterday after getting in ANOTHER brawl, this time with defender Jeff Parke in practice. The Whitecaps FO are doing the absolute right thing, this behavior is absolutely unacceptable and hurts our team. For Charles, I hope that [...]

Déja vu – Whitecaps 1-2 Carolina

By: Lee | Comments No Comments

So I didn’t actually get a chance to watch the game (damn you TVU only being available for Windows!); I could only follow a live-blog of it. This post is going to be light on the recap and heavier on the analysis.
The Whitecaps lost 2-1, again. This one could have been a lot [...]

NWCR – Something Special for the Ladies

By: Lee | Comments 2 Comments

Hey everybody. I’m sure most of you have heard of the term WAGs. It’s short for Wives and Girlfriends of soccer players. You may have also explored The Offside’s WAGs page (which I HIGHLY recommend you check out ).
But what about a website for WAGs, so that they can understand the game that their [...]

Play the Name Game!

By: Lee | Comments 6 Comments

As you might have heard, the name of the Vancouver MLS team is a bit in limbo. 99% of people I’m guessing want the Whitecaps name – and the history that it carries – make the jump as well.
But hey, instead of me saying so, let’s have a poll!
What should the Vancouver MLS team [...]

Amazing what a Fortnight can do! – Whitecaps 4-0 Thunder

By: Lee | Comments No Comments

Well that feels good!
After an up-and-down first half of the season, the Whitecaps showed last night that a break was just what the doctor ordered. The team wanted to start the second half of the season on the right foot. This was perhaps best captured by Wesley Charles and Charles Gbeke showing their respect to [...]

The Road to 2011

By: Lee | Comments 3 Comments

For the past week, there hasn’t been too much soccer, especially Whitecaps related. But that doesn’t mean stuff isn’t happening, especially if you dig for it.
In fact, behind the scenes the Whitecaps and their supporters are doing a lot to prepare for their move to Major League Soccer. The club is looking at rebranding [...]

The Future of the Canadian Championship

By: Lee | Comments 4 Comments

In its first two seasons, the Canadian Championship has provided entertaining soccer, memorable moments and has advanced the prominence of the club game in this country. In response to its success (and failures), there has been talk of changing the format and expanding it to include teams from lower leagues such as the CSL and [...]
