Whitecaps host lowly Rapids looking to hold onto top spot in Western Conference
VANCOUVER — Carl Robinson was involved in a number of tight races at both the top and bottom of the standings during his playing career in England.
The head coach of the Vancouver Whitecaps is now sharing some of the lessons he learned as his team prepares for a mad dash to the finish line in Major League Soccer’s Western Conference.
“Keep your calm, keep your cool,” Robinson said this week as the Whitecaps prepared to host the lowly Colorado Rapids on Saturday. “It’s important you don’t get ahead of yourself.”
Vancouver (13-9-6) enters the weekend first in the congested West with 45 points, one up on the Portland Timbers, Sporting Kansas City and the Seattle Sounders.
