Tune in on matchdays for a one hour pre-match show and one hour post-match show as Colin Miller and Corey Basso call the action live on AM730. Saturday’s pre-match show kicks off at 2:00 p.m. PT at whitecapsfc.com/am730.
Here are Colin’s keys for the 'Caps home opener against New York City FC.
Reaction
The ‘Caps were far from their best at Columbus, and they know that.
The key this week is their reaction and intensity change from last week’s performance.
It was better in the second half, and even when they went down to 10 men, but they need to bring it at BC Place on Saturday, particularly in the first half.
The fans
The role that the fans will play on Saturday will be important.
They made such an impact last season as the ‘Caps went 7W-1L-1D at BC Place.
That was crucial to their run to the playoffs, so starting this season playing in Vancouver for the first time since 2020 could be a big boost this year.
Defensive identity
Defensively, the ‘Caps need to be better than they were last week, from front to back.
Their defensive identity was part of their success last season, and that needs to return against a very talented New York City FC team.
