    For the second time in three years, the Vancouver Whitecaps have a chance to win the United Soccer League First Division championship. But unlike 2006, when they captured the crown on the road in Rochester, this time the Caps will host the one-game, winner-take-all showdown on Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. at Swangard Stadium.

    The Whitecaps will face the Puerto Rico Islanders in a battle of the top two teams in USL-1 during the regular season. The Islanders finished ahead of the Caps in the standings, but lost the right to host the championship game based on a questionable bid process when USL officials determined that Vancouver was a more suitable site for the contest.
