Not sure I had THAT from #VWFC in the first half of this Western Conference final vs San Diego

The early goal made a big difference, but the ‘Caps have been very comfortable without the ball, which is very important given San Diego’s possession

Now, got to take the life out of the game at 3-0

It's worth noting that Canada had some better stretches of possession in the first half with the switch to a 4-3-3, but they still had too many turnovers and didn't test Japan's backline enough

Then, as the game went on, things got far too stretched

A tough stretch continues for this side
That was a tough one...

The misery continued for the #CanWNT/#CanXNT tonight, as they fell 3-0 to Japan to extend their losing streak (and scoreless run) to 4 games

Here's my recap from a frustrating night at both ends for this slumping Canadian side👇 onesoccer.ca/a/recap-higl...

The #CanWNT/#CanXNT have kicked off the 1st of 2 friendlies vs. Japan

Their XI looks like:
Sheridan
Levasseur-J Rose-Zadorsky-Riviere
Regan
Fleming-Awujo
Sonis-Prince-Ward

Slight change of shape for Canada as they search for more goals. It'll be interesting to see if this helps their midfield woes

There are a lot of key battles to watch in tomorrow's #VWFC vs. San Diego FC clash: Anders Dreyer vs. the 'Caps left back. Midfield vs. Midfield. Ahmed/White/Müller/Sabbi vs. a young backline

I dive into the areas where this fascinating tactical matchup could be decided

#VWFC are back at it tomorrow, as they get set to face San Diego FC for a spot in the 2025 MLS Cup

No matter what happens, they'll need some key contributions from some players in new positions - I looked at how this squad's versatility has fuelled this playoff run

Interestingly, the #CanWNT/#CanXNT have lost the possession battle in each of their last 3 games, after winning that battle in each of their first 8 games of 2025

While that's a reflection of the level of opposition they've played, it shows why keeping the ball is key to generating more chances
The #CanWNT/#CanXNT are back in action tonight, in the 1st of 2 games vs. Japan this window

Having lost (and failed to score in) 3 straight, they're looking to avoid something they last did in the 1990s

I dove into their attacking woes to help preview this one for OS👇

Got to give credit to the way Arsenal broke Bayern’s aggressive man-to-man press in that second half, they did well to bypass it completely by going direct

Arsenal had 105 passes in their own half in the first half, 48 in the second half

They stretched Bayern right out of shape by doing so

At the same time, we got double-David goals today in the #UCL! Before JD found the net, Promise David had a crucial goal in a big Union St Gilloise win vs. Galatasaray

No matter the competition, Promise David can't stop scoring - he now has 2 in the UCL, which is remarkable given his story

For the first time since August, Jonathan David has found the scoresheet, as he scores a crucial winner off the bench for Juventus vs. Bodø/Glimt in #UCL action

It's not his prettiest goal, but it's a hugely important one for a player struggling for confidence. Good to see

When Heung-Min Son curled in his free kick, #VWFC appeared destined for a familiar, heartbreaking ending

But unlike past Whitecaps teams, they knuckled down and won an MLS classic vs LAFC, thanks to some grit and inexplicable luck

I reflect on a wild night at BC Place

#VWFC WIN AND ADVANCE TO THE CONFERENCE FINAL!!

Truly an all time MLS game, and it ends with the biggest playoff win of the Vancouver Whitecaps MLS era. What an unhinged start, middle and ending

After the way the second half of regular time went, that was a very gutsy extra time for #VWFC, especially when Belal Halbouni went down and they had to play that last 10 minutes 9v11

Onto penalties now!
November 23, 2025 at 5:28 AM
Incredible. After the dream first half from #VWFC, they've completely fallen apart here in the second half, and LAFC have just tied it up via a Heung-Min Son free kick GOLAZO in the 90+6'

The 'Caps have been unable to adjust, and are now on the ropes down a player with this one at 2-2
November 23, 2025 at 4:36 AM
Incredible. One of the best halves I've seen from #VWFC, at least considering the magnitude of the match

Completely tilted the field on and off the ball with the way they attacked and pressed

LAFC has LOTS to do in the second half - but they're still in this one
November 23, 2025 at 3:31 AM
And #VWFC have another!!

This time, it’s Mathías Laborda on a set piece

Whitecaps are absolutely flying before half time, and they’re doing so by using old school methods
November 23, 2025 at 3:29 AM
This ball from Yohei Takaoka... incredible

#VWFC GOAL!!

What a ball from Yohei Takaoka, and an even better finish from Emmanuel Sabbi

Whitecaps have been cooking this half. 1-0 in the 40’ now

After his winner vs. Mallorca, Tani Oluwaseyi has a goal every 121' for Villarreal CF in all comps (5G/1A in 14 appearances)

Who would've had him scoring more league goals (2) than Jonathan David at this stage? Great move so far

Now, can he get them flowing for the #CanMNT...

If you’re looking for something to watch pre Whirecaps vs LAFC, @Copa90 have focused in on soccer culture on Canada’s west coast.

Just some fantastic storytelling, and it was a pleasure to help out @ElMengem with it.
