Felipe Vallejo

Lastly, I want to thank everyone else who has supported me by listening or reading my content. I will still be supporting the Whitecaps, the CPL and Canadian soccer as a whole as much as I can, and am pumped to see where the landscape is going ahead of the 2026 World Cup.

Let’s go Rise!

🍁WHO IS THE GREATEST CANADIAN CPL PLAYER?!

One of my favuorite episodes we're recorded so far. Such great names across the whole list, and an indisputable top three in my eyes!

Check it out yourself!

#CanPL

FT: #VWFC 0-0 #MNUFC

A point ain’t the worst thing, especially when a team is parking the bus for 70+ minutes, but still a bit frustrating ‘Caps couldn’t get it across the line

Just needed a bit more composure in the final third. Hopefully they can get that going for Sunday

HT: #VWFC 0-0 #MNUFC

Caps dominated possession but lack that cutting edge so far

Ríos hasn’t been active a ouch to really trouble the back 5, making it really tough to be incisive

Minny content to sit deep, so it’s on Caps to break em down quickly in then second half

FT: #ForValour 2-2 #VWFC

If Austin away was the ‘Caps’ worst performance all season before tonight, I think it might be bumped up after this game

Valour seemed to have just wanted it more for the majority of that match

Ali came to the rescue but another wake-up call for ‘Caps & co for sure

HT: #VWFC 1-2 #LAFC

It hasn't been the best of halves for the 'Caps, but they're still in this match.

A silly penalty and tough goal after a save, but LAFC haven't done much outside of the opening 15 minutes.

Need Ahmed on and for Vite drop back into midfield for 2nd half

Especially in these trying times, it’s more important than ever to go out and let your voice be heard.

Not voting is the same as voting for the worst possible option so go out there and VOTE!

Vancouver, Pacific left frustrated by feisty 1-1 derby draw | MATCH ANALYSIS

We got some Salish Sea Derby history today, as after producing a winner in the first 8 matches, we got our 1st draw

Naturally, both won’t be happy - VFC looked in control before a poor red card, while PFC just never got going in attack even up a player

My analysis👇

HT: #AllForCITY 0-0 #VWFC

Not the best half from the ‘Caps, and they got a little lucky with that offside call on the goal, but they looked better towards the end of the half

They need to have a bit more composure, especially in the final third. Just need to calm it down a bit

🌅 TODAY’S THE DAY!

The @nsl.ca kicks-off today at B.C. Place as Vancouver Rise FC face-off against Calgary Wild FC

So many people have worked so hard to be able to get this up and running, and now it’s the time to enjoy and watch history unfold

*sigh*

It’s always disappointing when a football club uses AI art on socials. Especially when it’s a #CanPL side.

Local clubs should recognize how supporting REAL local artists is as important as real local players

Especially when that’s supposed to be your schtick 🧐

Since 2008 3 out of 23 MLS teams have won a Concacaf series with the 2nd leg in Mexico in which they didn’t outright win the 1st leg at home. THE Vancouver Whitecaps are 2 of those 3 THIS YEAR!

Post Match: Concacaf Heritage Wednesday night in Mexico City, the Vancouver Whitecaps repeated a feat they achieved just a few weeks ago, overcoming an away goal deficit on the road and securing a 2-2 (3-3 aggregate) result…

Never out until the final whistle blows.

Tristan Blackmon's late goal has sent Vancouver to a semi-final against Miami, as the Whitecaps got past Pumas on Wednesday night in Mexico City.

We take a look at the historic result.

#VanRiseFC’s own Holly Ward makes her #CanWNT/#CanXNT debut!!!

🇨🇦 Another NSL player to add to the list!

HT: #VWFC 2-0 #Rapids96

You could argue that was one of the 'Caps' best halves of the season, going 2-0 up with some beautifully worked goals

Cubas has been so crucial to that with his return, with Sabbi bringing so much energy to the attack as well

Hopefully, they keep it up for 2nd half!

HT: 🇨🇦 2-0 🇦🇷

Pretty much one way traffic. The intensity isn’t really there, as Argentina have struggled to impose themselves Canada haven’t needed to

Still, two nice goals to give Canada some cushion for them to really kick on

#CanWNT | #CanXNT

Opening 15 minutes, and Canada look the dominant side already

Good passing in & around the box, great structure out of possession & already finding space in dangerous areas

Nichelle Prince nearly takes the lead after Leon presses the GK into a mistake, but her effort's blocked

#CanWNT/#CanXNT

Five questions with @felipevfc.bsky.social: Talking Ralph Priso, squad rotation, a new coach, and all thing Colorado Rapids at Vancouver Whitecaps @aftn.bsky.social

Also, I do want to plug the @coasttocoastfc.bsky.social Rewind The Tape Zine again. There’s no better time to look back on the incredible season that was 2024 than just before ‘25.

Make sure you go have a look, it’s well worth it:

It's probably another CPL On Tour announcement haha, but a man can dream

⚜️ QUEBEC CITY TO JOIN THE #CanPL? ⚜️

The CPL has revealed that they will make a special announcement in Québec City on April 2nd at 1pm at PEPS de l’Université Laval

Mark Noonan will be there, alongside QC Mayor Bruno Marchand and l’Université Laval Athletic Director Julie Dionne

Jesper Sørensen on Andres Cubas' and Mathias Laborda's injury:

"I don't know yet, but I thinkk it woul dbe difficult for both of them to play Wednesday"

#VWFC

FT: #TFCLive 0-0 #VWFC

All things considered, it's not the worst result, but it still feels like 2 points dropped after last week's loss to Chicago. Sean Johnson was massive.

Weather definitely played a part but really feeling that hole that Ryan Gauld leaves

On to Pumas

It's incredible that the Caps' game plan for Bernardeschi is to suffocate and surround him as soon as he gets the ball while for Insigne...

Well, let's just say it's not really needed a game plan
