Episode 744 – The AFTN Soccer Show (I Went Into A Dream – Whitecaps destroy Dallas, Kwasi Poku, Sebastian Ramirez, MLS playoff plans, new Nations League in works)
We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and international football chat and interviews.
The Whitecaps went back to the top of the MLS West after a five goal demolition of Dallas on Saturday. We dig into the main talking points coming out of the match, look at which teams have done best in the league since coming back from the World Cup break, the big transfer moves from their next opponents Sporting Kansas City, and delve into the horrible rumoured new MLS playoff format coming in 2028.
We’ve a couple of Whitecaps interviews to bring you this episode as we catch up with two of the newest ‘Caps, Canadian forward Kwasi Poku and Colombian defender Sebastian Ramirez. We chat with them both about their move to Vancouver, their careers so far, and more.
We also talk about the news that UEFA and CONCACAF could be launching a joint Nations League as the fight with Infantino and FIFA continues, while music-wise, The Fall continue their residency as our Artists of the Month with a selection of unique cover versions, Yeah Yeah Noh feature as our C86 era song, and we’ve a song about Brentford FC in Wavelength.
