Episode 685 – The AFTN Soccer Show (Horror Clown Show)

10:59pm - 1:43am

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

Podcasts can be cathartic. It’s better than screaming in to the void. And after the weekend we had in Whitecapsland, there’s a lot to say! The emotional rollercoaster that was Vancouver Whitecaps match at San Jose Earthquakes is delved into here and of course, the main talking point coming out of it was the performance of “referee” Tim Ford. Will there be investigations? The ‘Caps almost battled to a point despite everything thrown at them in this one and we hear some thoughts from head coach Jesper Sorensen about how it all played out.

We also look ahead to this week’s Canadian Championship semi-finals, hear from Vancouver and Forge’s coaches, and Whitecaps CEO Axel Schuster talks about more additions coming in this MLS transfer window, this time on the defensive side.

All of this plus we round-up the weekend’s CPL action and talk the BC derby, and music-wise, The Wonder Stuff continue their residency as our Album of the Month, we’ve a Britpop song from Blur and The Business return in Wavelength.
