Episode 750 – The AFTN Soccer Show (A Five-Alarm Fire? – Vancouver doused in Chicago, Whitecaps season ticket sticker shock, Johnny Selemani interview, Man City situation and MLS)
We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and general football chat and interviews.
It’s been a tough time of late in Whitecapsland, something we haven’t felt in a while. The team on the pitch aren’t doing the business and look like a shadow of their former selves from just a few months ago, while fans have been hit by season ticket readjustments and price increases.
We delve into the Whitecaps’ latest loss in Chicago and whether it’s time to really panic about postseason seeding, and chat about the sticker shock and fan anger at the team’s season ticket renewals. On the more positive side though, we sit down for a one-on-one chat with the ‘Caps latest homegrown signing Johnny Selemani about his footballing journey and joining the MLS roster.
All of that plus we look at Man City’s 115 charges and the implications it might have for MLS and world football, while music-wise, Leeds legends The Wedding Present begin their residency as our Artists of the Month with their debut album George Best, former Artists of the Month Pop Will Eat Itself feature as our C86 era song, and Hospital Food feature in Wavelength.
