Signal Intel: Trouble Up North

This week, we were gladly asked to exchange questions with Andrew Bahl from Eighty Six Forever, our sister blog covering the Vancouver Whitecaps. Head on over there to get my responses to their questions.

As someone who picked Vancouver to make the playoffs in the beginning of the season, I have to ask: How are they winless after 5 games? What’s caused this bad start?

The short answer is some combination of disorganized defense (Houston and Minnesota matches), poor finishing (Seattle and LA) and bad luck (RSL).

The long answer boils down to the fact that this is more or less an entirely new team.
