Episode 105 – The AFTN Podcast – “There’s Still Time” (A Four Point Weekend – RSL And USL Postgame Show with Marco Carducci, Ben McKendry, Caleb Clarke, Tyler Rosenlund, Alan Koch and Jason Bent)
Is there anything better than spending a sunny Sunday at the football?
Well, watching your team win, but apart from that, Vancouver Whitecaps’ USL home opener was finally upon us and it was a beautiful day.
All that was missing was that win, as WFC2 and TFC2 drew 1-1, but coming on the back of the ‘Caps winning 1-0 at RSL on Saturday night, it was a pretty pleasing four point weekend.
We look over the win in Salt Lake. Some new tactics on display from the ‘Caps and we’re not just talking about Darren Mattocks hitting the target. But a lot of positives to come from the game, along with a couple of concerns.
Then we turn out attentions to WFC2 and we hear from both coaches, Vancouver’s Alan Koch and Toronto’s Jason Bent, about the game and their respective team’s seasons so far.
We also catch up with WFC2 goalscorer Caleb Clarke and captain Tyler Rosenlund after the game to talk about the performance, the first five games and team chemistry.
And there’s still time for a couple of exclusive chats with some familiar faces, two homegrown products, goalkeeper Marco Carducci and Ben McKendry. We talk to the two Residency alumni about the USL home opener, their seasons so far, what lies ahead for them this year and what they need to show to break into the MLS reckoning.
