Whitecaps put unbeaten streak on the line in road game against Union
VANCOUVER — The lazy, hazy, crazy days of summer might be here, but Vancouver Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson is reminding his players to keep their mind on the job, not the beach.
The temperatures in Vancouver hovered around 30 degrees this week but Robinson doesn’t want to see any cooling for a red-hot Whitecaps team that has won back-to-back games and are unbeaten in six matches.
The Whitecaps will put that streak on the line when they go on the road to play the Philadelphia Union in a Major League Soccer match Saturday.
“When the sun comes out it puts smiles on people’s faces,” Robinson said after a training session. “You want to spend time in the sun, but you can’t. You are paid to play football and you have to conduct yourself as a professional player.
