Kah of Cascadia

August 1, 2015 Christopher Vose

Seattle is not an easy place to play. They're big on the 12th man, here in the Emerald City. You see it on cars, in shop windows, on t-shirts, flags, scarves, and anything else they can get their little hands on. But the Whitecaps needed to get a result. They needed it for the league, where they're mounting a serious Supporters' Shield challenge, and they needed it to keep their search for a record sixth Cascadia Cup alive. It didn't take long for Carl Robinson's men to get on the score sheet. After Dylan Remick brought Cristian Techera down on the edge of the box, Nicolás Mezquida found Kendall Waston. The Tico's header glanced off of Brad Evans' chest, and Pa Modou Kah capitalised on the confusion to put the visitors up one nil. It's a good thing that the majority of the 53,125 wore green, as they weren't looking too good around the gills after that effort.

Whitecaps avalanche buries the Earthquakes

The San Jose Earthquakes will always hold a special place in the heart of every Vancouverite. They were the Whitecaps very first opponent, way back in 1974. It was a one all win… but before this article gets bogged down in the nuances of the original North American Soccer League, suffice it to say we have a history with the boys from the Bay Area. The less said about regulation stoppage time penalty shootouts and tie-wins, the better. Tonight was the last chance for both sides to get a win in July. Los Angeles (twice), Portland, Houston, Club America, and Manchester United have already defeated San Jose this month in a mixture of league, cup, and friendly encounters. Meanwhile, Vancouver has dropped a pair of results to Colorado and Kansas City, before their ten-men were able to nick a point in the Rose City. With Jordan Harvey unavailable through suspension, Christian Dean bravely stepped into the breach. For some time now, we've extolled the virtues of the young Californian, and he did not disappoint.

Whitecaps must now wait after clash with the Quakes

The Whitecaps retained the Cascadia Cup last week in Washington. Vancouver's win meant that the Los Angeles Galaxy could take a three point lead over the Seattle Sounders FC with a win in Dallas. And while Stefan Ishizaki's 22nd minute effort proved insufficient to the task, watching the Curva Collective, Rain City Brigade, and Vancouver Southsiders present the Cascadia Cup to Pedro Morales and the Vancouver Whitecaps Football Club still hurt. A lot.

Kings of Cascadia, We Know Who We Are

The Vancouver Whitecaps FC and their supporters travelled down the I-5 on Friday knowing that they controlled their own destiny. Lose, and they would finish third in the Cascadia Cup table. Draw, and they would be Runners-Up. Win, and they would complete the Quest for La Quinta by winning the Cascadia Cup for the fifth time in eleven seasons.

The good news is that the Whitecaps still have a chance at completing the Quest for La Quinta by winning their fifth Cascadia Cup. But they're no closer to it tonight than they were this morning. A win in Seattle on October 10th and the Cup will be theirs. Anything else and it will be the Sounders who celebrate.

And so the drought is finally over. After 450 minutes without a goal, the equivalent of five complete matches, the Whitecaps finally got back on the score sheet thanks in large part to the efforts of their Captain and Colossus. We are referring to of course, the man who wears the armband with the utmost pride, Pedro Morales, and Vancouver's 6'5" tall Costa Rican, Kendall Waston.

For the second time this season, Vancouver welcomed their Cascadian cousins, the league leading Seattle Sounders FC to BC Place.
