Camilo named the Whitecap of the Week, er, MLS Player of the Week 15 Jul 2013 Camilo, who scored twice in the Whitecaps 3-1 win Sunday over the Chicago Fire, now leads the MLS with 12 tallies this season. And his first goal transformed what was a drab 0-0 affair into a second-half goalfest.
Whitecap Caleb Clarke bound for Germany: The FC Edmonton rumours can be put to rest 10 Jul 2013 “This is a great opportunity for Caleb to continue his development and we look forward to seeing the progress he’ll make,” said Whitecaps’ coach Martin Rennie in a release issued by the club.
Knighton the third Whitecap to be named POTW in last four weeks 8 Jul 2013 In a 2-0 win over Seattle, the Whitecaps’ first win over a Cascadia rival in MLS, Knighton made a series of sensational saves. He made a one-handed stab to rob Zach Scott off a set piece. And, his double-save on Eddie Johnson and Obafemi Martins saw him dash out of goal to make the first stop, then scramble across the box to get a piece of the second shot.
Knighton stars as Whitecaps get their first Cascadia win in MLS play 7 Jul 2013 Kenny Miller and Darren Mattocks scored Vancouver’s goals, but goalkeeper Brad Knighton stole the show with several high-end saves, especially in a first half in which he made five of them.
Ho hum, Camilo scores again for the Whitecaps 4 Jul 2013 This time it was a late first-half free kick effort which proved to be the eventual equalizer in a 1-1 away draw against Sporting Kansas City on Wednesday.
Magee wins MLS Player of the Month, The 11 gave Camilo the nod 3 Jul 2013 But, the Whitecaps enjoyed their best-ever month in their MLS history; 12 out of a possible 15 points. And their Brazilian forward had a lot to do with it, scoring six times and adding two assists. No one in MLS came close to those scoring numbers in June, so that's why Camilo got The 11's vote.
Red-hot Camilo’s penalty kick keeps Whitecaps’ winning streak alive 30 Jun 2013 The Brazilian banged home the winner on 48 minutes, but Matt Watson played a big role in generating the PK, tapping the ball away from Bill Hamid in the area before getting clattered by the goalkeeper.
Mitchell call-up stretches already-thin Whitecaps back line 26 Jun 2013 Trinidad and Tobago coach Stephen Hart has called up Carlyle Mitchell to the national side for the Gold Cup. And that means the Whitecaps’ central defender will leave the club after this weekend’s road date at D.C. United.
Whitecaps give up first goal again, win again 20 Jun 2013 “We showed excellent character to stay composed and to fight back,” Rennie said. “A lot of teams when they lose the first goal the game is over, and that’s never been the case for us, especially this season, so that’s an encouraging sign.”
It should have been red: MLS suspends Whitecap Kekuta Manneh 18 Jun 2013 For the second time this year, a Vancouver Whitecaps player has been suspended for an offence that didn't receive a red card during the game in question, but was later deemed to be red-card worthy by the MLS Disciplinary Committee.
