Episode 615 – The AFTN Soccer Show (Da Diddley Qua Qua – Whitecaps’ week of penalty drama, Can Champ, Messi Mania, Jesse Marsch)
10:59pm - 1:56am
We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Championship, Canadian Premier League, and Canadian national team chat. The football keeps coming and so do the podcasts!
The Whitecaps’ two games a week schedule saw them come away with nothing in Colorado, in a game in which they should have gotten something, and then with a point in Seattle, in a game in which they didn’t really deserve anything. Football, eh! We pick over the bones of both of those matches, look at what they’ve taught us about the current state of the ‘Caps, round up the latest action across MLS, and look ahead to the circus coming to town this weekend – aka Lionel Messi and his Miami maestros.
Before that Miami game there’s the small matter of the Canadian Championship and a quarter-final second leg clash with Cavalry FC. We chat about that, hear from Cavs’ head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr, and chat about Vancouver FC first away win of the season in the CPL.
Plus there’s a new sheriff in town as Canada Soccer appoint Jesse Marsch as the new Canadian men’s national team coach. Was it the right appointment, what does it mean to the program, and how about that funding of the position by the three Canadian MLS clubs? We chat about all of that and more.
