Friday night, the Vancouver Whitecaps fell to the Los Angeles Galaxy by a score of 2-0. There’s been a lot of negativity online in the fallout from this one - with everything from ridiculing Ali Adnan’s botched penalty attempt to the timeless classic “spend more money!”.
In light of this negativity, I think it’s important to keep perspective. In the first half, the Whitecaps played some of the most organized, attractive, football I’ve seen over the history of this MLS franchise - this is a transition to the style of play that many amongst Whitecaps supporters have been clamouring for for a long time.
