How Kendall Waston became part of Costa Rican footballing folklore

VANCOUVER, BC - It's been an eventful week for Vancouver Whitecaps FC captain Kendall Waston.

After not being selected for the first two matches against Serbia and Brazil, Waston certainly made his mark in Costa Rica's final group game, starting and scoring in the Ticos' 2-2 draw with Switzerland last Wednesday.

Four days later, he was on the pitch at BC Place for the 'Caps in their 1-0 home loss to Colorado, but was forced to leave the match at halftime with a left groin strain.
