Vancouver Whitecaps v FC Edmonton – The Story In Pictures
It’s the curse, the curse I tell you….
Another Voyageurs Cup campaign and another selection of ways that Vancouver Whitecaps seem to have found to make their quest to actually lift the trophy as difficult as possible.
It was a flat and lacklustre performance from what was a fairly strong ‘Caps side against Edmonton on Wednesday night. Vancouver may have come away with a face saving late 1-1 draw but how crucial will the Eddies away goal prove to be? We’ll find out in a week.
AFTN photographer Tom Ewasiuk was there to capture all the action before, during and after the game and here’s his “Story In Pictures”, with a full Flickr slideshow at the end.
