Vancouver Whitecaps, expansion side San Diego FC to battle for top of the West
VANCOUVER — The Vancouver Whitecaps were the team to watch through the first half of the Major League Soccer season, earning gutsy, offensively dominant victories against some of the continent’s top teams.
And the ‘Caps (10-2-5) know their journey is far from over as the second half of the campaign begins Wednesday.
“It’s been amazing, the first part of the season,” said veteran defender Ranko Veselinovic. “We know we did a good job, but also we know that that’s passed. Now we cannot look at that any more. That’s done.
“New games are coming, and only the next game is the most important, so we need to keep going. Because if you don’t continue like in the first part, no one’s going to care about the first part of the season.”
