NSFW. Not suitable for work. Not suitable for Whitecaps. It's exercise your option week on the players, so take your pick. Either way, this week's episode contains adult language and content. There's swearing. Gasp! If you're really sensitive, you've been warned! As the offseason continues to drag on far too slowly, we're joined by AFTN writers Joe Deasy and Anna Namshirin to look at the week's ha...

Vancouver Whitecaps' season is over. Fizzling out with a whimper, and not a bang in sight. One shot on target over two matches against Seattle Sounders is inexcusable, but that's what we got. Now, the post mortem. Just what went wrong? Why were they so impotent? And what now for the Whitecaps? We look at all that and a lot more, pondering the way forward for Vancouver, Fredy Montero's future, and...

Maybe it's fitting that for our Halloween show Vancouver Whitecaps and Seattle Sounders served up a horrific game of football at BC Place on Sunday night.

With that first leg thankfully laid to rest, we look ahead to part two on...

History was made, but that's just what it is now. History. Time to go make some more. Vancouver Whitecaps won their first ever MLS playoff game on Wednesday night.

It's a week of homecomings in Vancouver as two former players take the pitch against the 'Caps. Wed...

Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy? The Whitecaps have won again. And they're in third place just off the lead. Are they real deal?
