6 saves: Isaac Boehmer was the team
Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the whole of the defence. 6 saves, several of them the kind nobody expects to see made, and ten outfield players who owe him a drink.

Krasnodar come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Vancouver Whitecaps did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.

Vancouver Whitecaps close the window on a squad of their own making
15 in and 2 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

The paperwork begins on AJ Marcucci
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. Vancouver Whitecaps have done the hard part with New York Red Bulls, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.

Andrés Cubas signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Andrés Cubas and Vancouver Whitecaps agree another 4 years.

Vancouver Whitecaps may not be able to give Mathías Laborda what he wants

One of our own: Ricardo Zardes joins the Vancouver Whitecaps first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Ricardo Zardes is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Cameron Pulisic steps up from the Vancouver Whitecaps academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Cameron Pulisic has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.
