Vancouver Whitecaps

Some teams at the World Cup have a major advantage no one is talking about, but it could be the difference between winning and losing.

MLS Commissioner Don Garber stated on Friday in Seattle, before attending the USMNT World Cup win against Australia, that the Whitecaps must secure a new stadium deal to remain in Vancouver.

Two years after Gregg Berhalter was fired as coach, son Sebastian will play for the USMNT at the World Cup. "I never could have picked him," Gregg said.

If Gregg Berhalter found any silver lining in being fired as coach of the United States, it was that his departure meant his son, Sebastian, might get a clearer path to starting his own national team journey.

Vancouver and Nashville are the hottest teams in MLS heading into the World Cup break, which is why they are ranked first and second in our ESPN Power Rankings.

LAFC once looked like the class of the MLS field, but losing to Nashville has put the Music City side on the cusp of topping ESPN's Power Rankings.

NYCFC were among the biggest risers in this week's edition of ESPN's MLS Power Rankings.

Vancouver Whitecaps and U.S. international midfielder Sebastian Berhalter says the final two weeks until the USMNT's World Cup roster is announced "doesn't feel like pressure."
