We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, CONCACAF Champions Cup, Canadian Premier League, and Northern Super League chat. Another veritable footballing feast.

Vancouver Whitecaps’ huge month continues apace, but is it starting to catch up with them? We chat about Saturday’s somewhat flat goalless draw in St Louis and look ahead to this week’s Champions Cup semi-final with Inter Miami and the Messi circus it will bring with it. Plus we chat with Whitecaps midfielder J.C. Ngando about his and the team’s excellent start to the year and defender Sam Adekugbe talks to us about his ownership stake in NSL side Calgary Wild and the importance of that league and the CPL to the continued growth of the game here in Canada.

Zach regales us with tales of his trip to Calgary to see Vancouver FC take on Cavalry in CPL action, plus we look at another tumultuous week behind the scenes at VFC that saw four key staff members unceremoniously fired. We also chat about the inaugural match in the NSL that saw Vancouver Rise come away with their first ever win, we hear some postgame thoughts from Anja Heiner-Moller and Quinn, and we chat with NSL President Christina Litz about the relationship between the NSL and the CPL and how she’d like that to look moving forward.

We also round up all the weekend’s action in the MLS and CPL, and music-wise Camille Schmidt continues her residency as our Album (and Artist) of the Month, Oasis feature in our Britpop segment, and Cousin Feo is back in Wavelength.
