Match19 Aug 2026

The small margins put Vancouver Whitecaps out

Out, 0‑2 to LA Galaxy, and the long argument about which of the small moments decided it. The league is all there is now, and everybody knows it.

Match22 Aug 2026

Vancouver Whitecaps leave it late against Houston Dynamo

Ninety minutes of very little, and then everything at once. The winner arrived in the 86th, and Houston Dynamo spent what remained of the match appealing to the referee rather than chasing the ball.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Vancouver Whitecaps

Elliot Panicco 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.

Match22 Aug 2026

Vancouver Whitecaps find a way past Houston Dynamo

Houston Dynamo made Vancouver Whitecaps work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

The afternoon belonged to Brian White

A mark of 7.88, and nobody in the ground would argue with it. He was involved in everything that mattered and most of what did not.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Nobody could get near Cheikh Sabaly

Successful dribbles: 15. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Christian Johnson signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Christian Johnson and Vancouver Whitecaps agree another 3 years.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

Brenden Pepi: “That is the standard”

“That is what I want every week. Not the result, the way they went about it.” The manager, after 1‑0, already talking about the next one.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Adrián Zendejas

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Boardroom10 Aug 2026

Deadline passes with 14 signed and 2 gone

That is the business done at Vancouver Whitecaps until the window opens again. Whether it was enough will be answered on Saturdays rather than in a column, and the first Saturday is close.

Squad10 Aug 2026

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.

Squad10 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Vancouver Whitecaps

Elliot Panicco and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market10 Aug 2026

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

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Mathías Laborda wants continental football; whether Vancouver Whitecaps can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

The terraces10 Aug 2026

One of their own: Kenji Cabrera

He is 23 and the ground already sings his name, which is a thing that happens to local boys and almost never to signings. Everything from here is measured against an affection he did nothing to earn except be from here.

Match8 Aug 2026

Vancouver Whitecaps find a way past Austin FC

Austin FC made Vancouver Whitecaps work for it, but the scoreboard read 2‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Market10 Aug 2026

Christian Johnson steps up from the Vancouver Whitecaps academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Christian Johnson 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.

Market10 Aug 2026

One of our own: Owen Robinson joins the Vancouver Whitecaps first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Owen Robinson is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market10 Aug 2026

Vancouver Whitecaps promote Cameron Pulisic from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Cameron Pulisic has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Market3 Aug 2026

Vancouver Whitecaps say no — this time

The offer from Karlsruher SC for Emmanuel Sabbi was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Player ratings3 Aug 2026

A defender's goal wins it for Vancouver Whitecaps — 7.68

1 for Andrés Cubas, marked 7.68, and a centre-half's name in the part of the report he normally only reaches by mistake. He will not be allowed to forget it in the dressing room for a month.

Vancouver Whitecaps may not be able to give Andrés Cubas what he wants

It is the most legitimate ambition in the sport and the hardest for most clubs to satisfy. Andrés Cubas wants continental football; whether Vancouver Whitecaps can provide it is a question about the next two seasons, not about him.

Squad3 Aug 2026

Thomas Müller stands down from international duty

“131 caps is more than I ever expected, and it is time somebody else had them.” At 36 he is finished with his country and nowhere near finished with Vancouver Whitecaps.

Transfer targets3 Aug 2026

Pumas UNAM tell Vancouver Whitecaps: Pablo Lara is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Match1 Aug 2026

A bad afternoon for Vancouver Whitecaps against San Diego Football Club

1‑2 to San Diego Football Club, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad3 Aug 2026

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.

The dugout3 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Ranko Veselinović

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
