A falling-out at Vancouver Whitecaps

Thomas Müller and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Belal Halbouni frozen out at Vancouver Whitecaps

This is not rotation. Belal Halbouni has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Vancouver Whitecaps is pretending otherwise.

Squad18 Dec 2028

Isaac Boehmer stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Isaac Boehmer and Vancouver Whitecaps agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Vancouver Whitecaps count the cost of losing Michael Dest

14 days, the scan says, and scans are kinder than reality. The fixtures in that window have just become somebody else’s job.

The dugout18 Dec 2028

No hiding place for Tristan Blackmon

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Tristan Blackmon, and the manager let it.

A row about effort at Vancouver Whitecaps

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Malachi Jones was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Kenji Cabrera wants European nights

The general version of this complaint is that a player wants more. The specific version names the thing: he wants to walk out under floodlights against clubs from other countries, and he has stopped pretending otherwise.

Squad20 Dec 2027

Tempers go at Vancouver Whitecaps

Thomas Müller was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

The dugout20 Dec 2027

Tate Johnson frozen out at Vancouver Whitecaps

This is not rotation. Tate Johnson has not been in the manager's plans for some time, and nobody at Vancouver Whitecaps is pretending otherwise.

Vancouver Whitecaps keep their word to Ranko Veselinović

Clubs make promises constantly and the page usually only hears about them when they are broken. This one was honoured, and the dressing room noticed that faster than any supporter did.

The dugout20 Dec 2027

Kenji Cabrera asks for a word with the manager

“I would rather say it to his face than read about it.” The meeting was requested by the player, which tells you most of what you need to know.

Market20 Dec 2027

The Rui Modesto question follows Vancouver Whitecaps around

Every press conference now starts and ends the same way: with Rui Modesto’s future. The manager has run out of new ways to say nothing.

Market20 Dec 2027

Vancouver Whitecaps put Rui Modesto up for sale

The list is a quiet document with a loud meaning. Rui Modesto may talk to anybody who asks, and everybody at the club understands what that means.

Squad20 Dec 2027

The training reports on Isaac Boehmer are not good

A bad Saturday is forgiven; a bad Tuesday is chosen. Standards have slipped and in a building where everybody watches everybody, it has been noticed.

The dugout20 Dec 2027

Mathías Laborda keeps his manager's vote

The message was aimed at the stands as much as the dressing room: Mathías Laborda plays, and the argument is closed until the manager decides otherwise.
