Loved seeing Berhalter crash toward the box for his goal. It was something he did so well last year until the Müller signing changed the tactics. If they can find a way for him to do that every so often, that's another weapon Also, Portland is not a serious club, still employing Phil Neville #vwfc

If a new stadium in Vancouver doesn't work out, we'll just take Providence Park. It's been the Whitecaps' home the last three years already #vwfc

My favourite thing about watching the Whitecaps so far this season is how difficult they are to play against They press aggressively. If you get past that, you have Cubas waiting for you. If you manage to get past him, you get Blackmon and Priso and in-form fullbacks. And then there's Yohei #vwfc

Sources: Tristan Blackmon has signed a contract extension with #VWFC through the 2029-30 season. Big signing for the Whitecaps as it keeps the reigning MLS Defender of the Year in Vancouver.

of all the matches in Vancouver Whitecaps history, that was one of them #vwfc

Ah well... I knew the Patriots were up against it in this one. The defense mostly did their job, but the Seahawks' defense is something else. Seattle taking care of the ball made a Pats win virtually impossible

I look forward to Axel's comments tomorrow, but... otherwise this is how I'm feeling too One thing I will say: it feels like the owners are getting off awfully lightly in all this. All the smoke is going toward BC or Axel, but how the fuck after 15 years in MLS do you let it get to this point #vwfc

a rematch of a certain past Super Bowl, I see 😃

Drake Maye almost as bad tbf; zero awareness most of this game

Houston cannot possibly let Stroud continue, can they? #patriots

Bo Nix done for the playoffs. If the Patriots can get by Houston tomorrow......

there are high-IQ plays, low-IQ plays, and then whatever the fuck Josh Allen just did

Football guy: <goes down injured> Football commentator: "You don't want to speculate on an injury, but..." Football commentator: <immediately speculates on injury>

let's fucking go #vwfc

I try to be a "it's just a game" guy, but... this has been a tough year for me personally, and making memories with my kid and friends while watching the Whitecaps has been one of the few consistent highlights to get me through it. Win or lose tomorrow, I'll always have that to look back on #vwfc

alright where is the watch party on Saturday #vwfc

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. #vwfc

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 #vwfc

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

BALL DON'T LIE MOTHERFUCKERS #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 (cc: @harjournalist.bsky.social)

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

"At Vancouver we have Sebastian Goal-halter" #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

Berhalter and Laborda on corners #vwfc

WE'RE GETTING WEIRD FAM #vwfc

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

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

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

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. Do it. #CanChamp

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

Welp I hate to say it but that takes a lot of shine off of everything. From February to now, Blackmon has probably been our second-best player after Berhalter They've found a way to keep going through everything, but you wonder if/when the cumulative effect takes hold #vwfc

Luis Suarez is now playing for #FlyEaglesFly🦅

how did San Diego win that lol

Sunday Night Soccer between two of the top West teams, with no Twellman AND the Sassy Referee. Good stuff all around #mls

Daniel Ríos masterclasses incoming #vwfc

“tristan blackmon? more like block-man” - thomas muller, probably

Thomas Müller: World Cup winner, Champions League winner, position inventor, clutch penalty taker, #USMNT breaking news journalist... Is there anything this man can't do #vwfc

Also, as I said, Ríos 😃 #vwfc

In all sincerity, if that had been given the other way, we'd all be having a meltdown right now. Classic example of VAR completely re-officiating the game, which isn't its purpose But, if you want to say karma for the Tim Ford game, or the Whitecaps were maybe the better team anyway, so be it #vwfc

It's #MLSAfterDark at BC Place motherfuckers!!! #vwfc
