The Vancouver Whitecaps came away with a surprising (?) 3-2 victory Saturday evening against Eastern Conference opponent Philadelphia Union. Despite the win, and really it was 3-1, it was not a great performance by the Whitecaps. After 18 hours or so to reflect, we now grade the performance of individual players and get your thoughts on those performances. As usual with my report cards, a C+/B- is average.
Let’s start at the back. The Whitecaps have had some struggles keeping the ball out of its own net, having the second most goals against in MLS.
