Road Work Ahead, Caps and Crew play to a Stand Still

April 8, 2015 Christopher Vose

With four wins through five matches, Vancouver Whitecaps FC stood alone at the top of the table. By comparison, Columbus Crew SC were all the way down in 16th place. But after tonight's two-all draw, nothing much has changed. At least on paper. The Whitecaps found something here tonight. In seasons past, going behind would have meant that the Caps would push up, leave themselves vulnerable to a counterattack, and they would invariably concede the insurance goal. But this squad is different. Whether ahead or behind, they play as a unit, and the play to win. They didn't quite do that tonight, but it was not for lack of trying.

Octavio Rivero has caused problems for defenders from Toronto, Chicago, and now we can add Orlando to the list. Early in the match, he used his speed to outpace Seb Hines, but the City man gave him a nudge, which proved enough to send Rivero tumbling. No penalty was given, but then neither was Rivero booked for simulation, as he found himself last week against the Fire.

When you have a balanced schedule, every club plays every other club at home and away. The Major League doesn't have a balanced schedule anymore, they did away with that after the 2011 campaign. The league doesn't even alternate the imbalance, and that's how we've found ourselves in a situation where in three of the last four seasons, Vancouver Whitecaps FC's only match against Chicago Fire SC has taken place in the Windy City.

So Toronto FC have bought themselves an anthem. We're not too surprised, their parent organisation, Maple Leaf Sports and Entertainment, have so much money that anthropomorphic ducks swimming through it is a genuine concern. They have money to burn, and they frequently do. The actual song they bought, Love Me Again by John Newman, is an immensely likeable song. It's catchy, memorable, the kind of song you can dance to, and it will get stuck in your head. Listen to it at your own risk, but if you do, be sure to listen all the way through. Trust us, it's worth the wait.
