This was an incredibly hot game day with the sun really showing no mercy on the east side of the stadium until it cleared the stands a little towards the end of the first half. The Vancouver Whitecaps came into town as we faced our second Canadian side in a row, this time in the discomfort of our warm stadium. The lone construction worker was occupying his usual south side and looked like he made considerable progress on his solo mission to build the National Soccer Hall of Fame.
There was a referee this match that some may be annoyed at and the crowd let him know it.
