One of the more intriguing aspects of the Vancouver Whitecaps vs Philadelphia Union match last Saturday, at least on paper, was that given their talent both teams should have a clear target to attack on the other side.
Vancouver was hoping the recent sparks they have seen from Alphonso Davies would spread into a full-fledged fire with another dominant display against Keegan Rosenberry, who has had an up-and-down defensive season. The Union had eyes on Brek Shea, an absurdly positionless player despite a resume that includes a stint in the English Premier League. Jim Curtin and Philadelphia got at Shea; Rosenberry, meanwhile, turned in a largely excellent performance.
