We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Vancouver FC, and Canadian Premier League chat.
The Whitecaps came crashing back down to earth with a bang and a 3-1 loss to LA Galaxy on Saturday. Deflating and frustrating, we pick over the bones of this one, look at where it all went wrong, and remind ourselves that it's just one game out of 34. Plus we round up the weekend's action around the MLS West, look ahead to the Seattle derby next weekend, and chat about how the new roster rules coming into effect this summer may impact the 'Caps.
Turning our attention to the CPL, the new season kicked off this weekend and we look at all the action, focusing on Vancouver FC, who top the table after a big 4-1 win over Valour. Plus we hear some postgame thoughts from both head coaches, Afshin Ghotbi and Phillip Dos Santos, and sit down for a feature interview with VFC captain Callum Irving about the club's offseason rebuild and the exciting season that lies ahead. Plus there's still time to look at the sad demise of Victoria Highlanders.
