The Vancouver Whitecaps pose no immediate danger to Real Salt Lake. Sitting at ninth position in the West and well out of the post-season picture, Vancouver has switched its attention to CONCACAF knowing that the season is all but done for the Canadian side. Still, they have the opportunity to shape the Supporters’ Shield standings this weekend.
On Saturday, the New York Red Bulls will come to BC Palace hoping to snag an emphatic victory to secure three more points in the Supporters’ Shield race. Having already one the Shield twice in last three years, the Red Bulls know what it takes to make that late season push.
