The Vancouver Whitecaps’ 2-0 loss to the San Jose Earthquakes was, in many ways, perfectly emblematic of their season as a whole. They kept things relatively tight defensively, while still managing to concede two goals. They created enough chances that they probably deserved a goal of their own but didn’t get one. They probably deserved a little more out of this game than they got. But at the same time, you could not really say they were robbed.
There were a lot of people on my Twitter timeline saying this was a disaster, the players had checked out, etc.
