Hello fellow caps supporters and Southsiders. I recently signed up for membership and I understand as a member we are entitled to a few things including a southsiders scarf and stickers. For those who are members, what kinda of stickers are we talking? I was hoping to get some "save the caps" stickers.

I am working on an interactive MLS Map for the U.S. and Canada that shows where fans of each team are located and would love the input of Whitecaps fans! Here is the link if anyone is interested in checking it out

Hello all! After a bit of a delay, Vol 2. Issue 4 of Andiamo! a 'Caps Fan Culture Zine is ready for the people. This issue features another installment of Whitecaps Rewind, spotlighting the great David Ousted. It also features more ranting from me than ever before, so if that sounds like a good time to you, you're in luck!

As always, copies will be available at Cross and Crows Books on Commercial in the next few days, and past issues are available there right now and online here.

If you would like to contribute and writing, photos, art, or anything else for a future issue, please contact me at [andiamozine@gmail.com](mailto:andiamozine@gmail.com) ! I would truly love to hear from you!

(If you end up reading this issue, yes, I know that I grossly misspelled Thomas Müller's last name at one point. Hey, at least you can take that as proof that I didn't use ChatGPT to write it. 100% human error in here)

Saw it on the new season ticket holder page. I've also seen a few people wearing them. I can't afford a new jersey and season tickets so I'd appreciate any other nice quarter zips, sweaters, or jackets you've seen that aren't crazy expensive.

I get Google updates for Caps games, including this summary. Are these from the MLS?
Who makes these ratings? Asking in general, although I’m a bit confused about these specific ones.

I'm done arguing about Sebastian Berhalter.

Not because I've changed my mind, but because I'm tired.

When I started following the Whitecaps, it was for a lot of simple reasons. They're Canadian. Blue is my favorite color. Vancouver is one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I wanted a team to support, and they became my team.

But if I'm being honest, the reason I became a diehard fan was Sebastian Berhalter.

He played with heart. He played with passion. He looked like he genuinely cared every time he stepped on the field. Whether the team was winning or losing, you knew exactly what you were getting from him: effort, fight, and commitment.

He easily became my favorite player.

So, when the Whitecaps sold him, it didn't feel like just another transfer to me. It felt like they gave away a huge piece of what made that team special. Maybe some people only see contracts, transfer fees, roster rules, and business decisions. That's fine.

I watched him play for Vancouver, for the United States, and now in England. He scored goals, created chances, and gave everything he had to every team he played for. Most importantly, he was a team player. He wasn't selfish. To me, he was the heart of the team.

When I look at all of that, I still can't convince myself that moving on from him for around $2 million was the right move.

I understand his contract situation wasn't ideal. I understand there are explanations for why the fee was what it was. But I still believe the club could have handled it better, whether that meant extending him earlier or finding a way to get more value.

More than anything, though, I'm disappointed because it felt like we had a genuine chance to do something special. Instead of pushing all our chips in and going for MLS Cup, it felt like we chose the safer option.

What frustrates me most isn't even the transfer anymore.

It's feeling like there's no room to have this opinion.

Every time I say I miss Berhalter, every time I say I think the team is worse without him, and every time I say I hated the sale, I feel like I'm dismissed as being clueless or overly emotional.

I don't need everyone to agree with me. I don't need everyone to think the transfer was a mistake. I just wish people understood that some of us aren't arguing because we hate the club.

We're arguing because we care.

And for me, caring about the Whitecaps also meant caring about my favorite player and wanting the best possible future for this team. Berhalter deserved to move up. And I wish him the best. But for the club itself, I feel disappointed in the handling of the deal.

I know this is a lot, but I just wanted to express my words honestly. I appreciate you taking your time, and thanks for reading. 💙 ⚽
