10:59pm - 1:43am

We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian soccer chat and interviews.

As the Whitecaps wrap up their preseason in Spain, we’ve a special feature interview for you this episode as we sit down for our first one-on-one chat with new ‘Caps coach Jesper Sørensen. We chat for 30 minutes with Jesper about his footballing journey so far, both on and off the pitch, his influences, his inspirations, and what this season might hold in store for both him and the team. It’s a new era and the Whitecaps will look a little different out there.

We also wrap up the last preseason match, look at the impact Trump will have on travelling Whitecaps supporters this season, and ponder what the turbulent offseason will mean for attendances at BC Place. Plus we look at Cavalry FC doing Canada proud in the CONCACAF Champions Cup, hear from head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr, and look at the rumoured Canadian Premier League expansion in 2026 in BC and Ontario.

All of this plus we talk Alphonso Davies re-signing at Bayern Munich, a weekend of cup drama in England and Scotland, characters in football crowds, our Hot Chocolate Boy and Anyone Fancy A Chocolate Digestive? segments are back, Pop Will Eat Itself continue their residency as our Album of the Month, we’ve another Britpop song, and Wavelength features a song about Danish legend Michael Laudrup.
