The inaugural Whitecaps Nations Cup reached its finale doubleheader July 23 and over 4,300 not entirely fanatical fans enjoyed the matches and basked in the sun that eventually dipped behind Swangard's grandstand. Before it disappeared WFP took the opportunity to capture the action around the field and in the stands which, arguably, provided more entertainment than the match itself.

And that's when the refs agreed...
If the game was totally crap they'd liven
it up a bit with some truly awful calls

Unfortunately neither fan wore team
colours and WFP was unable to ascertain
by press time who they were cheering for

easy on the little Taffies
