Episode 529 – The AFTN Soccer Show (Turn Out The Light)

We’re back with another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat.

The Whitecaps run to the playoffs are over and just as quickly as the team raised our hopes, disappointment reigns once again as they fall short of the finishing line. We look back at the season ending loss in Minnesota and ponder what’s next for the team and what changes need to be made.

Will the ‘Caps ever truly take that next step and become a real threat in the league? Do they have the players and the front office support to achieve that feat? There’s been movement in regard of the latter this past week and it’s not been so much out with the old and in with the new, as back with the old guard. But there has at least been on appointment in the new General Manager of Women’s Soccer, Stephanie Labbe.

Some of it has left a sour taste in the mouths of fans. We look at that and round up the end of regular season action across both MLS and the CPL.
