A month ago, the Vancouver Whitecaps were looking at four weeks on the road, including a match against Cascadian rivals Portland, a 3,000 mile trip across the continent to Montreal, and a visit to Colorado (where the ‘Caps had one win in eight), ending up in Texas (where they had lost every game). At that time, the thought of taking six points back to BC Place would have seemed like a huge achievement.
But six points is what the Whitecaps have ended up with. And with a little more luck on Friday night, they could have added to that tally, as well as getting their first point in Texas.
