D.C. United heads west tonight, hoping to start a winning streak as they face the struggling Vancouver Whitecaps in British Columbia tonight. Getting the bare minimum of two consecutive wins to talk about a streak might not seem like much, but it’s been over three months since United did even that, and they have no winning run in 2019 that extends beyond two matches.
In other words, it’s time to get going. The Whitecaps, sitting at the bottom of the Western Conference and 23rd out of 24 teams in the overall table, are the kind of team any playoff team worth their salt can beat.
