Late Monday Morning Centre-Back Thanksgiving edition after #VWFC came back to beat Orlando 2-1 on the road.

- No quit from start to finish.
- Pierre scores his first and shows maturity/mentality to take the ball to centre.
- Müller is him.
- Far from perfect but still dominated.

Müller is pure entertainment on and off the pitch. Wish I’d caught more of this moment. He was having a fun back and forth with Har. It’s great to see him embracing the local media and building a relationship.

A bit of banter and light-hearted moment with #VWFC’s Thomas Müller who suggested that I could write for an English or German boulevard newspaper.😂

Danke.

🚨 Heads up for fans attending the #CanChamp final tonight.

Not that it's going to be needed, but there's extra time tonight.

News to us, the clubs, and everyone. Canada Soccer need to state all the rules before the tournament starts. It's been ridiculous this year.

Full-time in KC: #VWFC 2-0 SKC

Strong road win despite missing key names. No Thomas Müller, no problem.

First-time back line of Ocampo–Halbouni–Laborda–Johnson delivered a flawless clean sheet.

Kenji Cabrera shone in his first MLS start: a goal + great link-up with Ali Ahmed.

Lovely goal for Kenji Cabrera in his first #VWFC start.

Dances through that KC defence.

2-0 'Caps. In total control.

Need the @southsiders.ca and @vancouveralbion.bsky.social to come up with a song for Kenji to the tune of Barry Manilow's "Copacabana". Scans perfectly!

We have a chat with Jesper Sorensen about frustrations at this time off, the year so far and what's to come for #VWFC, the impact Thomas Muller has had on the team.

We also look at the Whitecaps run-in and how the MLS West might shake out in terms of points and positioning.

Anyone wondering what happened to Timo Werner. Sources have told me today that although the New York Red Bulls pushed hard to the end, Werner wasn't willing to lower his contract demands.

Feeling is that the German is going to sit out his contract at RB Leipzig.
