For the 3 Canadian teams, they all enter this stretch with different aspirations. For the Vancouver Whitecaps, their goal is simple - finish as high up the Supporters’ Shield standings as possible and win an MLS Cup, as they look to avenge a 2025 season where they were close to winning it all but left short of winning some of the biggest prizes on offer.
