Wednesday night, heading into the match I didn’t give the Whitecaps much chance of pulling out a result. That’s the simple way of putting it. The way things have happened this season, it just felt like it was going to be another difficult evening at BC Place.
While it was difficult, the end result was actually something that several media members were discussing after the match – that this result was the embodiment of MLS as a league with manufactured parity.
Last night, against the odds, Marc Dos Santos’ team picked up a victory that could become a marker and proper turning point for the season.
