Seattle Sounders, Vancouver Whitecaps FC familiar foes heading into latest clash

Sigi Schmid could probably write a book on Vancouver Whitecaps FC.

Maybe not as an organization, but certainly the team’s current iteration. The Sounders played the Whitecaps a staggering five times in 2015, and on two occasions they played their northerly Cascadia neighbors twice within the span of a week. In addition to the three regular season matchups, Seattle also drew the frightfully strong ‘Caps in Scotiabank CONCACAF Champions League group action.

The matches themselves were as wildly unpredictable as any rivalry in MLS.

Seattle won the first matchup 2-0 at BC Place in Vancouver, then lost the second 3-0 at CenturyLink Field nearly three months later.
