Pretty much everybody had the Whitecaps game against Austin figured out before a ball was kicked.
As long as the midfield don’t have to defend it will be fine. https://t.co/1J4xRxLFTe

And of course, they were right. The Whitecaps quickly fell two goals behind and looked totally outclassed by Austin. If only there had been someone who said this sort of thing might happen!
If we prorate the xG of the Sartini games (which, slightly worryingly isn't very different from the xG of the MDS games)
The Whitecaps would be expected to have a season that's something like
GF: 39
GA: 52
GD: -13
So although that was very fun, there's some serious work to do.
