    On Tuesday this week the Vancouver Whitecaps decided to part ways with head coach Carl Robinson and his entire coaching staff. Robinson, who's been in charge since 2014, leaves the team with an interesting legacy. Robbo made them a legit MLS club, but too many times the team failed to seize the opportunity and take the step to the next level. This week Mark & Jorge discuss Robinson's departure, look back at the past 5 years and ponder who might take over as the new head coach and manager.

      The Vancouver Whitecaps' season was dealt a big blow, after losing 2-1 to the Seattle Sounders last weekend. Seattle also won the Cascadia Cup for 2019, and also opened up a gap with the Whitecaps in the playoff race. In short, last weekend was not very bueno for Whitecaps fans. This week we talk all about the Seattle match, the implications for the Caps' playoff drive, and look ahead to the big match against FC Dallas this weekend.

    The Whitecaps closed out the summer of 2018 taking maximum points from their back to back matches against the San Jose Earthquakes. The Caps now get a week off before they face rivals Seattle for what is going to be the biggest game of the year so far. This week Mark & Jorge look back at the 2-1 win over the Quakes last weekend, discuss whether Kei Kamara has been a good signing for the club, and why it seems inevitable that Diego Maradona will show up in the FTBL studio sooner rather than later.
