NWSB Insider and rookie Vancouver Whitecaps blogger Alistair Corp gives us his love ‘em hate ‘em from the Dallas FC vs. Whitecaps FC matchup. The ‘Caps offense struggled mightily Wednesday night. Martin Bonjour picked up his fifth yellow card of the season last night. It’s Sounders week on Saturday.

A striker he last played with Cardiff City of England’s Championship Division.
NWSB Newcomer and Vancouver Whitecaps blogger Alistair Corp tells us his thoughts on the MLS Soccer team’s second year chances of making the playoffs in MLS. No longer is the team giving up the ball carelessly, and on the rare occurrence they do, they’re still in great position to win it back.

Vancouver Whitecaps FC Blogger C-Mac is back with his matchday summary. This loss for the Camilo Sanvezzo and the Vancouver Whitecaps FC is quite disappointing. TFC was ripe for the picking but Coach Martin Rennie played the conservative card. How will Vancouver respond in upcoming MLS play?
