Episode 583 – The AFTN Soccer Show (Living Day To Day, Each Must Find Their Way)
10:59pm - 1:58am
We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, and international football chat.
With the Whitecaps having a bye week for the international break it gives us the chance to delve into a few issues. Their playoff path has become a little clearer after the two matches that were played this past weekend. We look into that and ponder whether the success on the pitch will lead to a boost in attendance off it. The fans tell us why they’re coming back and why they’re not.
Turning our attention to the CPL, we look at the weekend’s drama-filled playoff games and take an end of season dive into Vancouver FC’s attendance issues this year. Why are fans not coming out in larger numbers? We also delve more into the league’s U21 rule and hear the thoughts on it from Halifax head coach Patrice Gheisar, Vancouver head coach Afshin Ghotbi, and Cavalry head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr.
