Kekuta Manneh is arguably the biggest reason why the Vancouver Whitecaps have returned to contending. In his past five matches, the left sided winger has scored two goals and added two assists. In those five games, the Whitecaps are 3-1-1, with the three wins coming in matches where Manneh contributed to a goal. So you […]

Just like that, the Whitecaps are third in the West. For now. Had you told any casual fan that Vancouver would go into Toronto and surrender three goals, the assumption would have been that they’d lose.

He is technically good with both feet and, as always required, he is a hard working player.” That is what Carl Robinson […]

Here we are, seven games into the Vancouver Whitecaps season, and the Canadian side has yet to score a goal from open play. All four of their goals have been scored from the penalty spot by their catalyst, Pedro Morales, who is now out injured. It is a bit of a problematic situation, to say […]

Cristian Techera rejoined Vancouver on a permanent deal to start the year after a strong showing in 2015. Last year, the little Uruguayan put in a respectable seven goals and four assists in 19 starts. He rarely lost possession in a position where that is seemingly a byproduct of the area. Still, the little winger […]

Ask 100 people out there what the biggest problems in soccer is. A few poor, misguided souls will tell you that it’s boring, but that isn’t a problem with the game, it’s a problem with their perception. The biggest problem with soccer is flopping.
