At the start of the year I was relatively positive on the new look Vancouver Whitecaps. I didn’t think they were going to win the league or anything but I had them as a low playoff team and, well, look at them. In fairness to me, I was not the only analyst/reporter/degenerate keyboard warrior to eat crow on this issue. KJ and Caldwell, Canada’s most trusted soccer men, expressed optimism about the upcoming season on their podcast. JJ Adams and Dan Riccio both predicted the ‘Caps would make the playoffs on thier far superior podcast, as did stats boffin and guy who is generally right about these things Harrison Crow.
