From our football correspondent Uneasy

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Isaac Boehmer

There were 6 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Player ratings

Vintage Thomas Müller — 7.87

At 36 every good afternoon gets called a throwback, and this one was: 7.87, and nobody on the pitch better.

Squad

Brian White signs on for more

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

Market

Mathías Laborda 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.

Squad

Words at Vancouver Whitecaps training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Rui Modesto is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Squad

A falling-out at Vancouver Whitecaps

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

Player ratings

Nobody could get near Kenji Cabrera

Successful dribbles: 18. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Match

Honours even between Vancouver Whitecaps and Austin FC

2‑2, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Transfer targets

Vancouver Whitecaps ask about Pablo Lara

A loan enquiry to Pumas UNAM: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

In brief
