Awesome news and game. I wonder what criteria Puerto Rico failed not to host the final?

Yeah it is awesome! I am ecstatic that Vancouver is hosting the final since I get to cheer on my team but I do feel for Puerto Rico not being able to host the game (they must be so pissed). Anyways the Cup Final is slated for Sunday, October 12 at 7pm ET on Fox Soccer Channel.

Here's the post-game interviews from last night's match (plus from minute 17:26 until the end a clip of Whitecaps fans singing and high-fiving their team):

Good luck, Whitecaps - always nice to see a Canadian team win trophies!


And besides, the Islanders already topped the regular season, and have that quest for the CCL knockout phase to contend with - so there's no reason not to spread the silverware around...
