I shall tell you of the story of the Battle of BC Place. Statisticians from the Major League will say I am liar, but stats are recorded by those who have sent off heroes. King Zlatan stayed home, safe and secluded in his Californian Castle, while the King of Cascadia was abroad, watering the meadows of France with Tunisian tears.

In the absence of King Kendall, the Cascadians were ably led by General Efrain Juárez, while Sebastian Lletget was at the head of the invading force. From the start, the Californians dug in. Between their wounded, and those who had deserted over battlefield concerns, they were in no position to wage an offensive campaign.

Matías Laba was shown a straight red card in the first half, but the Vancouver Whitecaps still held on for a 0-0 tie with the Los Angeles Galaxy on Saturday night.

The midfielder was sent off in the 28th minute for a challenge on Los Angeles counterpart Mike Magee, outside the Whitecaps' penalty area.

Vancouver is now unbeaten in three straight, while Los Angeles picked up its first away point of the season.

After an emotionally charged opening 45 minutes that included Laba's dismissal, the Whitecaps sat back after halftime, down a man, content to soak up the pressure, and try to hit the visitors on the counterattack.

Whitecaps banish LA's fear factor to a Galaxy, far, far away

The Los Angeles Galaxy are winners. They are the class of the Major League. They have five Anschutz Cups, four league Championships, two U.S. Open Cups, and a Champions' Cup to grace their cabinet. But that's the past. In the here and now, Vancouver are the class of the league.

When the Whitecaps play the Galaxy, they usually come off second best. Before tonight's match, they had faced each other eleven times, and the Caps had a mere five points to show for it, with none of them coming in California. And unfortunately, they'll have to wait one more season to get it right. Unless of course they end up meeting in the Cup, like they did back in 2012.

Much has been made of Landon Donovan's status as the co-leading scorer in MLS history. His 134 goals place him on level terms with Jamaica's Jeff Cunningham.

Tales from the Training Ground: Los Angeles Galaxy

A year ago, David Beckham prepared to take a free kick against the Columbus Crew. It was deep into stoppage time, with the Galaxy leading by a goal. Something about the Crew’s defence rattled the Englishman. He complained, eating up the clock, until the referee came over to sort it out. But this proved woefully insufficient.
