There’s Still (Extra) Time – Episode 97 (Is Canada’s Long Wait For A Trophy Coming To An End?)

We’ve got another new AFTN Extra podcast for you and as a thank you to all the new subscribers we got last time out, we’ve got a second bumper episode for you this month, a 79 minute one as Michael and Zach looks ahead to this week’s CONCACAF Nations League finals in Los Angeles. Is the Canadian men’s national team’s quarter of a century wait for major silverware going to finally come to an end or will the heartache carry on?

We look ahead to the tournament and Canada’s semi-final with Mexico, dissect Jesse Marsch’s squad and some of the tough decisions made now and those that will have to come, chat about what it might be like off the pitch at the tournament considering the current political climate, and Zach tells us about his trip down to LA to take it all in. Plus we bring you the full 23-minute press conference with Jesse Marsch last week as he revealed his squad for the tournament.

All of that, plus we discuss further what a potential 64 team World Cup in 2030 and beyond could look like and how it could work? And could two former Whitecaps players be among the first to book their place at the 2026 World Cup?
