It’s been a big week in MLS as it looks like a new era is about to begin with powers potentially shifting around the league. Big signings across the board promise to raise the level of play to places not seen before, forcing teams to raise their own caliber if they wish to keep up with the rest of the league. The bigger implications of this are yet to be seen, and many teams are just focusing on their tasks at hand, Vancouver Whitecaps being no exception. In a real David and Goliath bid, the side from Vancouver was facing off against five time MLS Cup finalists and record breaking Supporter’s Shield holders New England Revolution.
