The Vancouver Whitecaps face the Portland Timbers in the MLS wild-card game on Wednesday night .

The MLS Cup has seen some Cinderella winners in the past, but there has been no magic for the Whitecaps so far in their previous 13 MLS seasons.

The high-water mark of 2015 , when they finished second in the West , is lost in the haze of time.

“This team has created a lot of hope, and that feels even worse,” says Axel Schuster .

Sartini was serious and focused during a longer-than-usual match day-minus one training session on Tuesday .

Minority owner Steve Nash paid the team a visit at their training facility, giving them words of advice before they boarded their flight south to Portland in the afternoon.
