Zac Sapsford scored and assisted in Dundee United's recent European tie against Rapid Vienna. Sapsford now has 4 goal contributions in 3 conference league qualifying games. My projection that he would make a non-old firm Scottish team happy is looking good.

Mason Wells was credited with a whopping 10 shots against A-League side Sydney F.C (who fielded a very strong squad) in Australia Cup action. As is his way, a lot of those shots were from long distance but still impressive to create separation that often against a much stronger opponent.

That game was like watching a mother bird pre-chew the food and spit it into a baby bird's mouth. #VWFC

Look, this one is a lot more defendable than the second yellow. But it's like a 35/65. Which is very hard to stomach after said wild second yellow. #vwfc

I don't think Daniel Rios would be the player I would be looking to bring into this one! #VWFC

That's like 6 fouls for Arango. No need for a yellow of course. #vwfc

But also does Costa not brush his teeth or something? How did so little contact draw that much blood?

He was put in a tough spot by the blood on the first one so I'm sympathetic there but the second one is just bananas.

Ocampo probably should have been sent off in the game against Montreal so I'm just going to look at this as karma for that and keep it moving. #vwfc

I feel like Toledo was always a name we were looking out for but other than the 3 red card game in 2011 I feel like most of the 'Caps games he reffed were pretty normal. #vwfc

Glass City is linking the Whitecaps to Norwegian LB Christopher Cheng. With the usual caveats about the game not being played on a spreadsheet...idk if that's a player I would be using an international slot on. #VWFC

How is Thomas Muller Going to Work? Alright, he is almost here. It’s time to put any trepidation to the side (I get the sense it’s mostly me that has the trepidation) and start thinking about what having Thomas Muller means for the…

Thomas Muller has a unique profile as a player.

Amidst the hype and excitement of him joining the Whitecaps, we take a look at some potential best starting XI's, along with how his stats from recent seasons might translate to MLS.

Is Signing Thomas Muller Actually a Good Idea? The Vancouver Whitecaps, incredibly, are being linked with German legend Thomas Muller by several extremely credible reporters. Both Manuel Veth and Tom Bogert have stressed that nothing is…

a funny commentators with no object permanence was when one of them said "SKC have defended their box well" only far a graphic showing the xG to be 1.16-0.19 for Vancouver have half an hour. That's with the notoriously generous MLS broadcast numbers but still. #VWFC

They had like 8 players in the box there and nobody closed Ngando down. #vwfc

I can see how these guys have a -20 xG differential. #vwfc

Securing their status as MLS' most fascist team by doing the thing where you claim to be the most discriminated against despite everything being set up for you to succeed.
