Report Card: Honeymoon Over for Sartini’s Whitecaps

Here we are again.

It’s only three games into the season, but the 2022 Vancouver Whitecaps campaign is already starting to feel like a greatest hits tribute band, one that leaves you wondering why you bothered showing up at the concert.

The lack of midfield presence, the struggle to find offensive consistency, the lack of defensive organization: these are all songs we have heard before.

The Vanni Sartini era was supposed to be different, and it felt like it was at the end of 2021.

The problem is, the Whitecaps got caught drinking on their own cool-aid this off-season.
