The Whitecaps right their ship for now after Pedro Vite was giving interviews at the airport in Mexico City. A 3-0 win against a struggling Houston Dynamo side — keeps them well in the top of the Western Conference race.

A massive upset in a wild night of MLS as Toronto FC beat the Western Conference-leading San Diego FC. A few close calls, but Theo Corbeanu’s penalty kick stands as a 1-0 winner. That’s also a big help to Vancouver’s hopes of top spot.

Another big transfer in Canadian women’s soccer as Floriane Jourde signs with Paris Saint-Germain out of USC. She is signed through 2028, and becomes the latest Canadian to head to the club following Jordyn Huitema and Ashley Lawrence.

The NSL announces that the league’s inaugural final will be played at BMO Field in Toronto as a neutral site on November 15. No doubt going to be a cold one. For fan purposes, you’d also hope that AFC Toronto qualify as well. Always risks and rewards with neutral venues.

The Whitecaps cashed in on Pedro Vite's move to Pumas. But his departure leaves a massive hole for #VWFC to fill. The Northern FĂștbol Podcast boys ask the obvious question: can the Caps win MLS Cup without him? đŸ€” youtube.com/watch?v=pn5thS

Tough blow for the Whitecaps and Ranko Vesilinovic, who has been among the best CBs in MLS this season. I wonder whether #VWFC might revisit Luc De Fougerolles on a potential loan now too, after previously being linked with him. #CanMNT

Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba have not attended the MLS All-Star training sessions or media day, and there is uncertainty about their participation in the game. Same for Liga MX's James Rodriguez and Sergio Ramos. Alba taken off the Skills Challenge today too.

CF Montreal’s CEO and ownership sends a letter to supporters addressing the poor play and committing to a rebuild. But they’ve sent it out at 5:00am ET — not exactly a way for many to see it quickly. Montreal have just three wins in 24 MLS games this season.

Despite earlier reports, Lionel Messi and Jordi Alba did not travel to Austin for MLS All-Star Week and won’t play in tonight’s MLS vs. Liga MX All-Star Game. Should the rules be enforced, both would be suspended for a critical matchup vs FC Cincinnati.

Vancouver FC have officially fired Afshin Ghotbi after one of the worst coaching tenures in Canadian pro sports. 16 wins from 76 games, -54 goal differential and 56 players involved in a bit of a disaster few seasons. Martin Nash named the interim head coach of VFC.

Few better spots for baseball. Vancouver with some work to do after just missing out on winning the first half. Nice to be back in the old stomping grounds — and my phone still connects to the press wifi Rob Fai Tyler Zickel

Vancouver’s Brian White found the back of the net for the MLS All-Stars tonight as they beat LIGA MX All Stars 3-1. No Messi or Alba, with commissioner Don Garber saying earlier today that a decision on their status for their weekend match is TBD.
