Despite dropping a close, hard fought game 1-0 to the Portland Timbers tonight at a sold out BC place your Vancouver Whitecaps are still set to become the first Canadian club to advance to the post season. The Seattle Sounders handed FC Dallas a 3-1 loss, which was good enough to secure the fifth and final playoff spot for the Caps. The team will have little time to relish the achievement however. They wrap up their regular season in Salt Lake City next weekend before heading to Los Angeles to take on current MLS champions the LA Galaxy in a first round elimination match on October 31.
It's been an amazing season for the Caps, and although I'm sure they'd tell you that even making the playoffs is a great result (they'd be right). I can say personally that I'd love another opportunity to see this team play at home this season. Congratulations go out to the players, best of luck n California. We know you'll make us proud.
