After a long trip south on the Canada Day long weekend for many Whitecaps fans and media members (shameless self-promotion), The Vancouver Whitecaps fell by a score of 1-0 to the Seattle Sounders at CenturyLink Field.
With the strain of international duty still being felt by both sides, The Vancouver Whitecaps fielded a similar side to what we’ve seen over the past few matches, but with a rather different tactical approach, as PC joined the starting XI in midfield.
While in theory the Whitecaps presented themsleves with a diamond of four in the midfield, practically it looked more like a back five, with Jon Erice dropping back and aiding with distribution as well as defensive responsibilities.
