Vancouver Whitecaps need win or tie against Seattle Sounders on Sunday to clinch MLS playoff spot
For the first time in four years, the Vancouver Whitecaps are on the cusp of a playoff spot – and clinching the berth remains firmly within the club’s hands.
“We don’t depend on anyone else than us,” interim coach Vanni Sartini said Friday. “It’s a beautiful thing to go Sunday and know that if we do a result, the other teams can do whatever they want but we’re in.” Vancouver is one of five clubs battling for the last three playoff spots in Major League Soccer’s Western Conference. Just three points separate the teams, with Minnesota United and the ‘Caps at 48, the L.A. Galaxy holding 47, and Real Salt Lake and Los Angeles FC sitting just below the playoff bar with 45 apiece.
“I think when we do that, especially at home, I think we’re one of the best teams in the league and I think we’ve proven that with the results we’ve had,” he said.
