After 918 regular season games, the MLS Cup Playoffs are finally here. The first round will find two teams going in the opposite directions clashing. Sporting Kansas City find themselves reeling, having lost three straight after not losing back-to-back games for the entire rest of 2021.
The Vancouver Whitecaps on the other hand are one of the hottest teams in the Western Conference. They’ve lost just one of their last 11 and two of their last 16. In that 16 game stretch, they’ve won nine times. They only have 12 wins on the whole season!
It’s a tale of two halves of this season for Vancouver.
