Whitecaps

VANCOUVER - The Vancouver Whitecaps punched their ticket to the Canadian Championship final Wednesday with a 2-1 victory over York United.

FOOTNOTES: Giantsopoulos was briefly a member of the Whitecaps earlier this season. Vancouver finally snapped the scoreless deadlock in the 53rd minute when midfielder Ryan Raposo fired a shot from just outside the six-yard box. “We were able to make it close against a quality opponent that’s in a good moment right now. Diyaeddine Abzi put a shot around the wall and forced Cropper to make a diving save. ”Sometimes you need those as a goal scorer to get the ball rolling. “It just landed right in front of me and it was ‘Oh, thank you,“ White said. He acted as an emergency backup goalkeeper in Vancouver’s MLS game against Charlotte FC on May 22. “That’s the curse of the Canadian Championship,” Sartini said. So I’m real proud of the guys. “I think we could have got a result here,“ he said. “But luckily we live in a humanistic society where rationale is better than anything else. ”I think the goals were just a lack of communication and little errors on our part and they capitalized on it.

After two straight years where the Whitecaps failed to beat a CPL side in the Canadian Championship, they have done so twice in 2022 and now look to do it a ...

This will be the final game in a York jersey for dynamic left-back Diyaeddine Abzi who is heading to France when the European transfer window opens. Caicedo found his first MLS goal of the season with a fine free kick in Texas and hopefully he’ll start to find some more end product success as the year goes on. Alexandre is still a bit of a wildcard as we have yet to see much of him, while Berhalter has probably had a better season than Teibert to this point, but has a foot injury currently keeping him out. You’d think that Sartini’s ideal starting back three would be Blackmon, Godoy, and Ranko Veselinović, although Javain Brown has done well in the back three (better than as a wingback this season). Luckily for the ‘Caps it’s at home, where they have for the most part gotten results this season. A win on Wednesday night will send the ‘Caps to the Canadian Championship final for the first time since 2018.

Sports Talk Line’s independent sports journalism is a unique offering in the world of sports. All season ticket holders already have tickets to the match so it should be a good showing at BC Place. “We look forward to do a solid performance like we did in the first two games of the Canadian Championship.” Vanni Sartini said to the media on Tuesday afternoon. Here is what I could see for the Vancouver Whitecaps vs York United starting lineup. Lucas Cavallini has been in fine form of late scoring an early goal in Dallas after his stint with the Canadian National Team. He should start up top Wednesday night for the Whitecaps. Ryan Gauld came off the bench but Vanni Sartini noted he wanted his best 11 on the pitch so expect to see Gauld starting. This year has been different as the Whitecaps were able to get past Valour FC 2-0 before a shootout victory over the aforementioned Cavalry FC 5-3 in penalty kicks.

VANCOUVER - For the first time in four years, the Vancouver Whitecaps are headed to the Canadian Championship final.

In a round where many thought that a rematch of last year's Pacific FC fixture was in order, York United shocked the Canadian soccer world by taking down the ...

One area that does need improvement is the defense though, as the lack of natural centrebacks continues to plague Vancouver. Deep into the second half, Nerwinski was put into a spin cycle by Isaiah Johnston as York was able to pull one back and hope was renewed for the team from Ontario. For a couple of minutes there, it looked like the Whitecaps defense was going to collapse, but the team held on strong and were able to hold their one goal lead. The Whitecaps had domination of the game from the first whistle as they vastly outshot and outpossesed the team from Ontario. There was a fire from the Whitecaps in the first half that isn’t usually there as they searched to make the first move of the match and eventually they struck first in the second half by 2021 talisman Brian White. They then were able to take their foot off the gas and allowed York a little bit more possession and shots, which did lead to a scramble in the box but mostly just lead to York chasing after the Whitecaps players. This was no different when the Whitecaps took on York United from the CPL in the semi-finals of the Canadian Cup.
