“This team is looking like a contender in the West.”
That’s what MLSsoccer.com had to say today about Vancouver Whitecaps FC, who have moved up to seventh in the MLS Power Rankings – their highest ranking of the season.
The ‘Caps are coming off a week in which they posted a 2W-0L-1D record against then co-Western Conference leaders Houston Dynamo and Seattle Sounders FC as well as Eastern Conference side Orlando City SC. They are now fourth in the Western Conference, four points out of first, with games in hand on two of the three teams above them.
