'Caps winless streak at 14 heading into Philly rematch

VANCOUVER, B.C. — Nearly at the midway point of their season, the Vancouver Whitecaps have only a single win to show for their efforts. Their record is not exactly a fair reflection of the way they’ve played, as the 'Caps have only twice lost by more than one goal, yet they remain stuck in a trying 14-game winless streak.

This weekend, they can take a big step towards redemption when they play the rematch of the game in which their frustration began.

On March 26, 2011, Vancouver played their first match away from home in Major League Soccer as they travelled to Philadelphia to take on the Union at PPL Park. 

The Whitecaps were coming off of the euphoria of an opening day win where everything went perfectly. Eric Hassli looked like a force in that first game as he scored two goals, hometown boy Terry Dunfield was a revelation in midfield, and Davide Chiumiento showed off his world-class playmaking abilities. Against Philadelphia, however, things went quite differently.

The match was a microcosm of the first half of the season for each team.  A red card to Hassli led to a 2-1 loss to the Union. The ‘Caps attack was stymied, and in the so-called City of Brotherly Love, no love was shown as the Union delivered crunching tackle after crunching tackle. Philly found a way to get a win, which they’ve continued to do throughout the season as they sit tied atop the Eastern Conference standings. The ‘Caps, meanwhile, felt that they deserved better, but the result eluded them.

That’s been the case for much of the season in Vancouver, and if anyone understands the struggles of a first year team, it’s Philly. Peter Nowak’s side also had a tough time in their inaugural MLS season last year, finishing third from the bottom.

This season, however, has been an entirely different story. The Union had eight wins all of last season, but already have six wins through 13 games in 2011.

“They’re on a bit of a hot streak right now,” said Vancouver defender Wes Knight. “They’re a great, defensively solid team. They don’t allow many goals, so we’ve got to catch them on the counter and push numbers forward. We’ve got to stay tight and when we get the ball we’ve got to spring together as a unit and score that way. It’s going to be a great challenge for us.

Philly’s turnaround proves that there is certainly hope for the same in Vancouver. The ‘Caps, though, are still focused on making the most of this campaign.

Hi Tracy…any word on Derek Stepan’s Certified “Mirror Gold(25),Blue(50), & Red(100)” autos ? Since the NY Rangers have been elimated from the Playoffs for quite some time now…you would think that D.Stepan would have time to sign his cards…the Trick is to get him off the Golf course & sign roughly 175 or a little more autos…What gives my Friend ? PS….would you know how many signed cards of the Score Red Hot rookies(Signatures – Short printed) each rookie signed…i believe the card Numbers start at 550 or 551 ….. and can you confirm D.Stepan & P.K. Subban signed 50 ? What about the other Rookies…Hall, Skinner…etc. ? Thanks for any info, Joe.
