Winners & Losers: Vancouver Whitecaps 1, Seattle Sounders 2

This is a new column we’re running after each game. It’s pretty self explanatory, but for the sake of being on the same page, I’ll explain. After each game, I pick 3 winners and 3 losers from the match. Those are the only rules. And away we go...

Winners

Ruidiaz Nets A Brace

Scoring two goals against a rival to win a trophy? That’s pretty cool, especially when the two goals end up winning the game. Here’s his first goal (I have a feeling his second goal will show up a little later...) .

Doing It For The ‘Gram

Both Nico and Raul absolutely did it to Vancouver. Pretty sure you’ve got to retire after this happens to you.

Damn It Feels Good To Be A Sounder

Doesn’t it feel great that the Cascadia Cup is coming home, where it belongs? Feels like it’s been too long since we’ve had it. Was 2015 really that long ago? Weird.

Losers

Brek Shea’s Ankles

Nico just rinses Brek Shea here. Not once. Not twice. But three times. I’m pretty sure Brek is still spinning after this. Shame Nico doesn’t get the hand ball there.

Brett Levis

If he had passed this to the right team, it would’ve been a beautiful pass. But instead, well, just watch.

Any Club Except Sounders

They’re all losers, if you think about it. Nine in a row. What a time to be alive. I’m having fun, are you?

Oh, one more rule. Let me know who your winners and losers are.
