Episode 268 – The AFTN Soccer Show (Quaking In Our Boots – San Jose and Dallas Review/Preview show)
With Gideon still absent after an unfortunate incident with Daisy Duck, Joe and Nick man the barricades in a way that the Whitecaps defence can only look on at with jealousy.
It’s the guys first Review/Preview show of the season and for once they don’t just get to look ahead all joyfully at the weekend’s action to come. Now they have to suffer the pain of the Sunday crew and pick over a disappointing display by the ‘Caps.
Vancouver’s 2-2 draw with San Jose Earthquakes is in the spotlight. What went wrong this time, as another two points were dropped at home? More chances wasted, more sloppy defending, more disgruntlement amongst the fanbase. It’s not the happiest time in Whitecapsland and the guys try to address as much of that as they can. Plus we hear postgame comments from both head coaches, San Jose’s Mikael Stahre and Vancouver’s Carl Robinson.
Can the ‘Caps turn things around in a timely manner? Well we won’t have to wait too long to find out, with the team heading into the intense afternoon Texan heat to face an in-form, and frankly terrifying prospect, at FC Dallas. Is this a throwaway game? Should the ‘Caps just go for a near full rotation and go young? We’ve seen understrength teams battle for unexpected points this year, or does that only happen against the ‘Caps.
If we’re quaking in our boots at the prospect of this one, after recent results, is there actually any team in MLS right now that we can look forward to facing? All this and more awaits your earholes in our latest episode. Have a listen!
