Three of the most unhinged hours of my life

Legs are already sore and I'll have no voice tomorrow

Would not have it any other way

Believe.

The issue with three weeks between playoff games isn't just the time itself, but the reason for it: an international break! During the playoffs!

We have to sweat out an international break during the most important part of the season! Imagine if someone like Cubas or Bouanga comes back hurt #vwfc

a few highlights for me tonight:

Sabbi's run to draw the penalty. Electric

I predicted to seat neighbours before the game that Ríos would score. Just say a thing enough times and it eventually comes true!

Müller pointing for Cubas to go to the left in the buildup to the Ríos goal... #vwfc

Defending is completely optional in this Portland-RSL game.

Not just the goals; passing lanes wide open, guys having all the day to pass the ball

San Diego will smoke either one of these teams #mls

yeah I'm not going to have a voice tomorrow after that

my eldest may have heard a couple words that they hadn't heard come out of my mouth before 😬

it's ok; we move and we must dream big

A couple thoughts heading into tonight's regular season finale:

1) The Whitecaps should absolutely go for the win. Not just to win the West, but to guarantee MLS Cup homefield against anyone except Philadelphia.

Yes it's ok to think that big #vwfc

Drake Maye is the truth. Stefon Diggs and the defense as well. Huge kick by Borregales

Big night for the Vancouver Whitecaps/New England Patriots contingent

It's plain to see why San Jose has shipped so many goals, but also, you can see the Whitecaps' attack starting to reach another level

The other attackers learning to play with Müller was going to be critical. You can see he and Ahmed clicking already, and Ali is has gone up another level #vwfc

this poor Bouda fellow for San Jose just threw up on the field, twice, coming out after halftime #vwfc

I have a few big picture thoughts as we enter the final stretch of the regular season, which I'll get to in the coming days.

For now, I'll celebrate another trophy and just say that, in a season of so many incredible moments, Gauld's goal tonight joins the list. That was a great thing to see #vwfc

Pretty wild to think that heading into this game two years ago, we were stressing whether Thomas Hasal or a youth teamer (wound up being Levonte Johnson) would start... while today we're wondering whether or not Thomas Müller will start and how many minutes will Ryan Gauld play #vwfc

Supporters Shield is probably gone now, but the Whitecaps picked up a point on San Diego, who have two road matches remaining. It seems like the top spot in the West is there for taking...

...if we can still field a full team these last few games. Guys are falling faster than we get them back #vwfc

WE'RE GETTING WEIRD FAM #vwfc
Today's news about Tristan Blackmon is much better than expected given how it looked last night. Having him fit for the playoffs would be huge

In the meantime, the point below is an important one. At some point you need to give O'Neill and Bovalina a game, or do something weird (Priso at CB?) #vwfc
Thing the big issue right now for the Whitecaps is not so much that you have Laborda, Halbouni, Johnson and Ocampo for your backline but they're in the middle of a 6 games in 3 weeks stretch with possibly little available to rotate. #VWFC
September 28, 2025 at 2:05 AM
I'm a little worried about Sebastian Berhalter's workload. He's got an engine and a half, but he's barely gotten a break this season. I'm guessing he'll be in the USMNT camp next month

Assuming he starts tonight, I think you need to look at rotating him soon after, even if it's the cup final #vwfc
September 27, 2025 at 10:28 PM
Brian White is not on the list. This is good!

Hopefully Müller is indeed just precautionary and will be back for Seattle. It feels like Pupe should be available soon. Perhaps even Gauld. Ocampo was going to need a rest in one of these games anyway.

Just need to get through one game at a time #vwfc
#VWFC will be without the following players on Wednesday vs Portland.

Müller (injury)
Gauld (injury)
Pupe (injury)
Schonlau (injury)
Blackmon (injury)
Adekugbe (injury)
Veselinovic (injury)
Ocampo (suspension)
Cubas (suspension)

We've all (myself included) been frustrated with Daniel Ríos to various degrees. But he does a lot of things well for the team if you watch closely enough. Starting him with White out continues to be the right call

Let Elloumi continue to make an impact off the bench, it's his best role too #vwfc
September 21, 2025 at 12:36 AM
And yet, somehow, this isn't the funniest injury report the Whitecaps have had this season

(Funny in the sense that if you don't laugh you'll cry) #vwfc

I had little confidence they'd do it but they actually did it!

We have a Vancouver-ish derby in the final #CanChamp #vwfc
Hello Vancouver FC: you have one job.
