Welcome back, everyone.
After the hype of opening weekend, the Vancouver Whitecaps will be looking to steady the ship this Saturday night with a road win against the San Jose Earthquakes. While there were many positives to take away from the opener, we also know just how crucial home points are in MLS, so there’s a sense in which the Whitecaps are already a little bit on the back foot.
Nonetheless, the trip to San Jose presents an opportunity. The Quakes were dead last in the West last season and allowed a whopping 69 goals against (nice).
