Lastly, I want to thank everyone else who has supported me by listening or reading my content. I will still be supporting the Whitecaps, the CPL and Canadian soccer as a whole as much as I can, and am pumped to see where the landscape is going ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
Let’s go Rise!

🍁WHO IS THE GREATEST CANADIAN CPL PLAYER?!
One of my favuorite episodes we're recorded so far. Such great names across the whole list, and an indisputable top three in my eyes!
Check it out yourself!
#CanPL
FT: #VWFC 0-0 #MNUFC
A point ain’t the worst thing, especially when a team is parking the bus for 70+ minutes, but still a bit frustrating ‘Caps couldn’t get it across the line
Just needed a bit more composure in the final third. Hopefully they can get that going for Sunday
HT: #VWFC 0-0 #MNUFC
Caps dominated possession but lack that cutting edge so far
Ríos hasn’t been active a ouch to really trouble the back 5, making it really tough to be incisive
Minny content to sit deep, so it’s on Caps to break em down quickly in then second half
FT: #ForValour 2-2 #VWFC
If Austin away was the ‘Caps’ worst performance all season before tonight, I think it might be bumped up after this game
Valour seemed to have just wanted it more for the majority of that match
Ali came to the rescue but another wake-up call for ‘Caps & co for sure
HT: #VWFC 1-2 #LAFC
It hasn't been the best of halves for the 'Caps, but they're still in this match.
A silly penalty and tough goal after a save, but LAFC haven't done much outside of the opening 15 minutes.
Need Ahmed on and for Vite drop back into midfield for 2nd half
🇨🇦 Don’t forget to go do your civic duty and go vote today!!
Especially in these trying times, it’s more important than ever to go out and let your voice be heard.
Not voting is the same as voting for the worst possible option so go out there and VOTE!

We got some Salish Sea Derby history today, as after producing a winner in the first 8 matches, we got our 1st draw
Naturally, both won’t be happy - VFC looked in control before a poor red card, while PFC just never got going in attack even up a player
My analysis👇

HT: #AllForCITY 0-0 #VWFC
Not the best half from the ‘Caps, and they got a little lucky with that offside call on the goal, but they looked better towards the end of the half
They need to have a bit more composure, especially in the final third. Just need to calm it down a bit
🌅 TODAY’S THE DAY!
The @nsl.ca kicks-off today at B.C. Place as Vancouver Rise FC face-off against Calgary Wild FC
So many people have worked so hard to be able to get this up and running, and now it’s the time to enjoy and watch history unfold
#NSL | #VanRiseFC
Vancouver Whitecaps FC: 5 (4.92 xG)
vs
Austin FC: 1 (0.89 xG)

*sigh*
It’s always disappointing when a football club uses AI art on socials. Especially when it’s a #CanPL side.
Local clubs should recognize how supporting REAL local artists is as important as real local players
Especially when that’s supposed to be your schtick 🧐
Since 2008 3 out of 23 MLS teams have won a Concacaf series with the 2nd leg in Mexico in which they didn’t outright win the 1st leg at home. THE Vancouver Whitecaps are 2 of those 3 THIS YEAR!
Never out until the final whistle blows.
Tristan Blackmon's late goal has sent Vancouver to a semi-final against Miami, as the Whitecaps got past Pumas on Wednesday night in Mexico City.
We take a look at the historic result.

#VanRiseFC’s own Holly Ward makes her #CanWNT/#CanXNT debut!!!
🇨🇦 Another NSL player to add to the list!
HT: #VWFC 2-0 #Rapids96
You could argue that was one of the 'Caps' best halves of the season, going 2-0 up with some beautifully worked goals
Cubas has been so crucial to that with his return, with Sabbi bringing so much energy to the attack as well
Hopefully, they keep it up for 2nd half!
HT: 🇨🇦 2-0 🇦🇷
Pretty much one way traffic. The intensity isn’t really there, as Argentina have struggled to impose themselves Canada haven’t needed to
Still, two nice goals to give Canada some cushion for them to really kick on
#CanWNT | #CanXNT
Opening 15 minutes, and Canada look the dominant side already
Good passing in & around the box, great structure out of possession & already finding space in dangerous areas
Nichelle Prince nearly takes the lead after Leon presses the GK into a mistake, but her effort's blocked

Five questions with @felipevfc.bsky.social: Talking Ralph Priso, squad rotation, a new coach, and all thing Colorado Rapids at Vancouver Whitecaps @aftn.bsky.social

Also, I do want to plug the @coasttocoastfc.bsky.social Rewind The Tape Zine again. There’s no better time to look back on the incredible season that was 2024 than just before ‘25.
Make sure you go have a look, it’s well worth it:
