As much as I lament the labeling of the Vancouver Whitecaps’ effort Tuesday night as lifeless, lethargic, and lackadaisical, those descriptors are not only reasonably accurate, but all conveniently start with the letter “L”, which is precisely what the ‘Caps have done in their return to regular MLS play, falling to Toronto FC 3-0 last night.
The week certainly started on an interesting note, with the transfer of Hwang In-beom to Rubin Kazan now official, but there was hope to be had going into Tuesday’s game, with the return of Lucas Cavallini, Andy Rose, and Tosaint Ricketts to the eighteen following their respective absences from MLS is Back in Orlando, as well as an Erik Godoy-sighting on the bench.
