Episode 208 – The AFTN Soccer Show (Canada’s Future Is Already Here – Gold Cup, Jordyn Huitema, John Herdman, and Steven Reid)
With MLS on a break, we turn our attention to the Canadian national teams this week, on both the men’s and the women’s side.
The men got off to a winning start in their Gold Cup campaign. We look back at the victory over French Guiana, chat about all the highs and the lows, and hear from head coach Octavio Zambrano, goalscorer Scott Arfield, and captain Patrice Bernier.
We catch up with new CSA President Steven Reed and turning our attention to the women’s side, we chat with head coach John Herdman and teenage sensation Jordyn Huitema

That’s what happens when you don’t let the punters have a say……you did a good job with the choices for both the men and women’s top ten, as you stated on a previous podcast, agreement can also depend on what era has the strongest pull, but in the women’s category there was an obvious omission,a stronger pick than say Leblanc, really on par with Schmidt …..Melissa Tancredi.
The most iconic Women’s match had to be that battle in UK to play for either the Gold or Bronze Olympic medal against Hope and the lesser big Egos, in London – and Tancredi put in a shift in that match that even with Christine’s brace she was in the running for gal of the match. She stood out for many of her 107 caps, bulging the onion bag 22 times, primarily from the wing.
As I said, if you only you had faith in the rabble….. enjoying the added output – thanks..
