Episode 639 – The AFTN Soccer Show (Down The Twisted Course – Portland demolished, Whitecaps vs LAFC, MLS schedule changing?, Rise to Swangard?, CPL playoffs, CanMNT)

10:59pm - 1:58am

We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, Northern Super League, and Canadian national team chat.

The Whitecaps’ playoff run is in full swing, starting with a total demolition of Portland in one of the best games of their MLS era, followed up by a battling but ultimately narrow losing effort at LAFC. We pick over the bones of both matches and some of the main talking points coming out of them from both a player and coaching perspective. Do the ‘Caps have what it takes to take LAFC to three games? We also chat about the rumoured change to the MLS schedule that would see them play an August to May season. Is it really feasible?

Turning our attention to the CPL, we look at the playoffs that got underway this week and the ending of BC hopes as Pacific crash out. Plus on the women’s side, Vancouver Rise are wanting to play out of Swangard Stadium. We look at their recent pitch to the City of Burnaby to make this happen and the potential obstacles that lie in their way.

All of this plus there’s Canadian men’s national team chat, Kinky Machine wrap up their stint as our Album of the Month, there’s more Britpop songs, and Armchair Loyal return to Wavelength.
