We all knew the turnaround would be tight, having to play three matches in the span of eight days, but it doesn’t make the Vancouver Whitecaps 3-0 defeat at the hands of Sporting Kansas City any less disheartening.
Sure, it was a midweek travel game against a foe the Whitecaps have drawn one point against in three years, so expectations should have been measured. But given the club’s decent start to the 2021, was it so wrong to believe that a result was feasible? As it turns out, yes it was.
And here we sit, broken hearted, hoping for more in the season started.
