Episode 528 – The AFTN Soccer Show (A Series Of Fortunate Events)
We’re back with another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat.
What a few weeks it’s been in Whitecapsland. What looked like mission impossible to get into the playoffs has seen an amazing run of results, sparked by three straight wins for the ‘Caps, to leave Vancouver with a win and they’re in scenario on MLS Decision Day.
We look at how they got to this point, the form of Ryan Gauld, the late move to four at the back, and cast our eye over the main talking points coming out of the ‘Caps latest win against Austin, which boiled over at the end and had us all talking about Lucas Cavallini again.
We also look at the MLS West playoff picture after some stunning games this past weekend, look ahead to that big Decision Day clash in Minnesota next Sunday, chat about the latest results and news from the CPL, and dive into a bulging mailbag to answer some listener’s questions about the team, the future, and player abuse.
