Welcome back, everyone.

The Vancouver Whitecaps are in the driver’s seat for the top spot in the West as we go into Decision Day.

Can Vancouver secure the bye in the first round? Who will be healthy for the playoff run? We will have to wait and see.

In the meantime, Vancouver is about to face a Dallas side that is clinging to a play-in spot, so this one has more significance overall for them than it does for Vancouver. It’s also a potential first-round matchup, which is a funny dynamic at play.

Here is the latest from training this week.
