We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat. April is our favourite time of the year with MLS well underway, the CPL and League1 BC beginning, and the Provincial Cup in full flow. What a time to be alive! Add to that the Whitecaps being top of MLS and it's a fun-filled show this week.
We kick things off with the 'Caps and look at their 4-0 demolition of TFC at the weekend that sent them to the top of the standings. We also hear from both head coaches, Vanni Sartini and John Herdman, chat about where both teams go from hear, and look around the rest of the action in the MLS West.
AFTN writer Felipe Vallejo joins us on the show this week to not only talk Whitecaps but also for a comprehensive preview of the 2024 Canadian Premier League season that gets underway this weekend. We look at all eight clubs and have three little words on each of their chances this year.
