VANCOUVER, BC – Friday may be the first time Vancouver Whitecaps FC face Los Angeles Football Club in MLS, but there are no shortage of connections between the two clubs.
In addition to the former ‘Caps on LAFC’s inaugural roster, Steven Beitashour and Jordan Harvey, many Whitecaps FC players have played alongside members of the opposition for their respective national teams and will have to forget about any shared friendship for 90 minutes come Friday.
