Good Friday morning Caps fans, hope you all are gearing up for a pleasant weekend (and, if you’re in the United States, a long weekend).
It is a barren weekend from a Whitecaps perspective,.
The good news? The Caps scored from open play.
The bad news? A pair of defensive woes from Vancouver dug them in a first half hole against the Houston Dynamo which they were unable to climb out.

Happy Friday Caps fans, hope you all are gearing up for the weekend. Not to rub things in too much for our Canada-based readers, but I will be at the Caps match on Sunday in-person and I couldn’t be more excited.
The squad is coming off a result Wednesday that, while disappointing, also was a good illustration of what the team can easily be a side that plays attractive, offensive-minded soccer and who can take the impetus in a match. I maintain this was the best they have looked under Marc dos Santos in some time and after a few matches that were less promising, this one seemed to offer a real path forward one I hope the Caps will take.

Current Form
Despite many pundits picking CF Montreal to finish at the bottom of the Eastern Conference table, the team formerly known as the Impact has been off to a pretty solid start.
The Quebec side followed up their impressive opening day victory over Toronto FC with back to back draws against Nashville SC and the Columbus Crew. Montreal did blow a two-goal lead to Nashville in the second half of their week two matchup, in what was probably their worst half of football so far this year, but they followed things up in week three with an especially impressive defensive performance, holding Columbus to just three total shots in the match
