The Vancouver Whitecaps have had a trying season this year. Under new head coach Marc Dos Santos, the western Canadian club has only managed four wins through their 22 matches. In the offseason, the team was completely overhauled, more so than any team in league history. The thing that makes the Whitecaps different? They’re not an expansion team, so all of the new faces coming in at once was unprecedented.
Both on and off the field, the Whitecaps have had many problems this year. The club has been entangled in a scandal with women who formerly played for the team and were mistreated by their coach, while on the field, the product has been far from exciting.
