With another CPL weekend in the books, Kristian Jack and Charlie O'Connor-Clarke are here again to break down the goings-on around the league. First off, it's a trip out east to Halifax, where HFX Wanderers FC fell 3-0 to Forge FC in a dominant match for the Hamilton side; Benedict Rhodes joins the show to discuss how it all went down (2:48). Then, we move over to Alberta, where FC Edmonton are rejoicing after their first win of the 2022 season -- a 1-0 triumph over Atlético Ottawa. Alexandre Gangué-Ruzic comes on to add some context and explain why it was such a special moment for Alan Koch and the Eddies (17:35). Lastly, the gang heads back to York Lions Stadium for a chat about York United and Pacific's 0-0 draw over the weekend (32:55). OneSoccer's Adam Jenkins is the show's special guest this week, as he helps break down Pacific and York, before a brief preview of the Nine Stripes' upcoming Canadian Championship semifinal clash on Wednesday against the Vancouver Whitecaps (38:40).

Before FC Edmonton's game this afternoon against Atlético Ottawa, I had a chance at training to speak with head coach Alan Koch about his team's improvement and his younger players being able to play against Pacific FC. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/avrys-sportsshow/support

The 2022 Canadian Premier League season is finally upon us, and in celebration of the league's fourth campaign kicking off, CanPL.ca's Kristian Jack and Charlie O'Connor-Clarke got together for a full in-depth preview show. They went team by team, starting out east with HFX Wanderers and finishing on the west coast with the champs Pacific FC, breaking down what's new with each of the CPL's eight clubs and hearing from the head coaches and key players from each team. KJ and Charlie start with the Wanderers (8:19) and hear from Stephen Hart and João Morelli. They move on to a new-look Atlético Ottawa side (22:37) and chat with Carlos González and Nathan Ingham before heading to York United (40:11) as Martin Nash and Max Ferrari share their thoughts on the Nine Stripes in 2022. Bobby Smyrniotis and Tristan Borges appear to chat about Forge FC (56:04), followed by a segment on Valour FC featuring Phillip Dos Santos and returning defender Andrew Jean-Baptiste (1:14:44). They head to Alberta next to talk about an intriguing FC Edmonton side and hear from both Alan Koch and Shamit Shome (1:29:28), then move on to their Al Classico foes Cavalry FC as Tommy Wheeldon Jr. and Elijah Adekugbe appear to share their outlook on the new season (1:42:50). Finally, the champions close things out, as both James Merriman and Pa-Modou Kah join the CanPL Newsroom hosts to break down the coming year on Vancouver Island (1:57:47).

We're back with another packed episode of the AFTN Soccer Show for your listening pleasure, and it's a special Canadian Premier League themed show ahead of the new season that gets underway on Thursday. In this episode, we continue our chats with head coaches from around the league and bring you three feature interviews, from three teams with very different expectations this season. We kick things off with the champs, as we sit down with new Pacific FC head coach James Merriman to chat about defending their title, the comings and goings in an eventful offseason, fighting on three fronts, and more. It's also been an eventful offseason for FC Edmonton, and not one you'd wish on any coach. With the team looking for new owners, the playing and management team decimated, and the league taking over the team and providing loan players, head coach Alan Koch has certainly had his work cut out for him. We chat with him about all the turmoil, building a squad, and what we can expect from the team this year both on and off the pitch. Continuing to move east, we end up at York United to chat with another new head coach, and a man we know very well here in Vancouver, Martin Nash. Nash has moved too York after three years as an assistant at Cavalry. Can he take the team forward after they reached the playoffs for the first time? What will a Martin Nash team look like on the pitch? And how has he found the adjustment to being the main man in the dugout? We talk about all of that and more. Plus a quick discussion about all the teams in our season preview, some AFTN CPL power rankings, and Armchair Loyal are back in this episode's Wavelength. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 02.10: James Merriman interview 36.06: Alan Koch interview 69.33: Martin Nash interview 91.40: Pacific FC discussion 104.36: FC Edmonton discussion 110.00: York United discussion 114.40: CPL season preview and power rankings 125.47: Wavelength - Armchair Loyal - Young Gifted and Right Back

On this weeks episode, we discuss the latest player announcements from FC Edmonton and speculate who else might be announced soon based on photos posted online from the gaffer, Alan Koch. This episode is brought to you by; Edmonton Community Foundation Alberta Podcast Network

In the latest episode of the CanPL.ca Newsroom, hosts Marty Thompson, Charlie O'Connor Clarke, and Kristian Jack are joined by none other than Pacific FC attacker (and fan of the show) Marco Bustos to recap York United's playoff-clinching weekend… And all the bizarre moments that followed. First up, the gang recap York's 2-1 905 Derby loss to Forge FC (2:00) and how a “gritty” York team could mount a playoff push against Forge in the first round.  Next up was Valour FC's devastating late stab at making the playoffs, coming from three goals down to draw FC Edmonton 3-3 (12:20). The gang sheds a tear for Bustos' former club who was a William Akio header away from getting the win. Plus, what on earth do FCE coach Alan Koch and his Valour opposite Phil Dos Santos have to say after that final 15 minute frenzy? HFX Wanderers FC's 1-1 draw with Atlético Ottawa (22:11) was up next – Wanderers Grounds gave Halifax a push… But it wasn't enough. Plus, of course, we had to discuss Matthew Arnone's sending off which almost sent Marco back off his chair. Finally, Cavalry FC vs. Pacific FC – the playoff preview that ended with a Cavs win. What can we say about a matchup that's been evenly split (three wins each, one draw) going into an unprecedented winner-take-all semi-final slated for Calgary?

On this episode I am joined by FC Edmonton goalkeeper Connor James. We talk about FC Edmonton's turnaround this season, working with Canadian legend Lars Hirschfeld and new head coach Alan Koch. We also find out what a goalie's day is like and Connor gives an incredible 5 aside team!! Don't forget to subscribe and drop a review if you can!

The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out for another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps, MLS, Canadian Premier League, and Canadian national team chat. What a fantastic feast of football, and indeed sport, was served up this weekend. And most of it gives us a lot of positives to chat about this week. We start off in MLS with the Whitecaps. They may have given up a two goal lead, but there were a lot of positives to be taken and foundations laid from their draw at LAFC. We look back at the highs, the lows, and the main talking points coming out of the match, hear from head coaches Marc Dos Santos and Bob Bradley, and round up the weekend's action in MLS. The Whitecaps have now headed back to Vancouver for the first time since March, and while they won't be playing home games here until August 21st, they can at least train and be in their own surroundings. We look at their return, the boost it's given the team, and hear the thoughts of MDS, Russell Teibert, and Brian White on finally getting back to Canada. Moving onto the international stage, the 2021 Gold Cup is at the semi-final stage and Canada are there to battle it out for a place in the final after their win over Costa Rica. We look back at that excellent quarter-final performance, hear from head coach John Herdman, and he and Max Crepeau share some thoughts about a wide open tournament. Heading back home to the Canadian Premier League, we look at where things stand for each team after the kickoff tournament event in Winnipeg wrapped up and bring you audio from each side featuring Valour FC's Rob Gale and Jonathan Sirois, Pacific FC's James Merriman, Cavalry FC's Tommy Wheeldon Jr, FC Edmonton's Alan Koch, Forge FC's Bobby Smyrniotis, York United's Jim Brennan, HFX Wanderers Mesut Mert and Alessandro Riggi, and Atletico Ottawa's Malcolm Shaw. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.31: Intro and football card 06.53: LAFC v Whitecaps postgame analysis and coaches audio 42.53: The Whitecaps are back home with thoughts from MDS, Russell Teibert, and Brian White 53.15: MLS round-up 67.35: Canada beat Costa Rica and Gold Cup round-up 98.45: Canadian women's national team at Tokyo Olympics 108.41: Canadian Premier League Western team chat 135.44: Canadian Premier League Eastern team and general chat 161.05: Wavelength - Dive In The Box - Defend The River End

The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out for another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps, MLS, and Canadian Premier League chat. It was more stoppage time heartbreak for the Whitecaps on Sunday night, giving up a late equaliser to draw 2-2 in Dallas. We pick over the bones of the game, ponder the 'Caps stoppage time woes, worry about what this latest late lapse will do the team, and look ahead at what's to come. Plus we hear some thoughts from Whitecaps head coach Marc Dos Santos and centre back Andy Rose. The other big Whitecaps news this weekend was the club parting ways with Iraqi left-back Ali Adnan. We look at a move that was probably the best option for both sides, but still a disappointing one, and hear from the 'Caps CEO and Sporting Director Axel Schuster about the whole ridiculous situation. The big MLS story this weekend was the sacking of Toronto FC head coach Chris Armas after his side's 7-1 shellacking by DC United. We look at that decision, hear from TFC's Bill Manning and Ali Curtis, and round up all the top weekend action across MLS. The Canadian Premier League is in full flow. We look at the action so far and hear from FC Edmonton head coach Alan Koch, Valour FC's Rob Gale, and Cavalry FC head coach Tommy Wheeldon Jr. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.45: Intro and football cards 07.15: Dallas v Vancouver postgame analysis 69.29: Ali Adnan moves on 103.49: Chris Armas sacked in Toronto 128.09: MLS Week in Review 137.26: The CPL story so far 164.30: Wavelength - AZ and Palize - Top Striker

In the latest episode of the CanPL.ca Newsroom, the CanPL.ca editorial crew of Kristian Jack, Charlie O'Connor Clarke, Brady Reid, Benedict Rhodes, and Marty Thompson digest a blistering second matchweek at The Kickoff in Winnipeg. First up, the gang take off from FC Edmonton's historic 2-0 victory over Forge FC (4:20) Thursday – the club's first win in over 600 days. From stanch defending to Ramon Soria and Jeannot Esua's goals, Alan Koch's first win in CanPL was one to be remembered. Forge, on the other hand, lose back-to-back matches without scoring for the first time ever – what needs to change for the two-time defending champions? Next up is York United and Pacific FC's highly-entertaining 2-2 draw (15:05). What's to like about York's young group? What about Pa-Modou Kah's Pacific side – how did they handle their cagey affair? Cavalry FC's 4-1 romp over Atlético Ottawa followed (23:01), with Charlie gushing over Tommy Wheeldon Jr. and his side's ability to press and pass freely (second-most passes completed in CPL history, we may add). How did Cavalry seem to out-fit an Ottawa side with a proper pre-season so effectively and, after two wins from two, are they early favourites? Finally, we needed to talk about Valour FC and specifically Rob Gale, who captured their second-straight 2-0 win Wednesday by dispatching HFX Wanderers (34:11). Just how long can the Winnipeg side continue this underdog narrative with Andrew Jean-Baptiste and standout midfielder Raph Ohin – dubbed the Winnipeg Kante by Gale – among their ranks? Plus, the gang banter through an extra time segment: Greatest goal you've ever scored? Which celebrity will Gale mention in his next press conference?

New season, new newsroom! In the latest episode of the CanPL.ca Newsroom, the CanPL.ca editorial crew of Kristian Jack, Charlie O'Connor Clarke, Brady Reid, Benedict Rhodes, and Marty Thompson cap off the first week of action from the 2021 Canadian Premier League season played out in Winnipeg, Manitoba at IG Field. First up, the gang recaps Atletcio Ottawa's late win over FC Edmonton in the season opener – did Ottawa's “M, M, and M” midfield deliver? What positives can we take from Alan Koch's first match in charge of the Eddies? Next up was Pacific FC's comprehensive 2-0 win over HFX Wanderers FC. Marco Bustos' blast and a Steven Gerrard-like thump from Ollie Basset stole the show on the pitch. Valour FC taking down two-time defending Forge FC Sunday was another highlight – especially with Rob Gale's cagey comments to the media afterward. Did we underestimate Winnipeg? The gang reacts to Gale's clips. Finally, the gang caps things off with Cavalry FC taking down a new-look York United side… but all the talk revolves around Jose Escalante, who played a big part in both Cavs goals. Welcome back to the CPL, Jose!

The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out for another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps, MLS, and Canadian Premier League chat. British Columbia is under a heat dome, but thankfully the Whitecaps lifted some of the dark clouds over the team this weekend with a battling draw in Seattle to end a five game losing streak. It wasn't enough to stop them sinking to bottom in the West but it's given some hope. We pick over the bones of that game and the midweek loss to LA Galaxy, hear from head coach Marc Dos Santos and DP striker Lucas Cavallini, and look ahead at how the 'Caps can build on a positive performance. They still need a number 10 badly. Is Scottish player Ryan Gauld the man? We chat about the transfer rumour we broke and hear MDS' thoughts on the player. The Canadian Premier League kicked off this weekend and our feature interview this episode is with new FC Edmonton head coach Alan Koch as we talk about building the Eddies roster and what to expect from the side this season. Plus we hear from CPL commissioner David Clanachan, Pacific FC head coach Pa Modou Kah, and HFX Wanderers' Stephen Hart. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.45: Intro and football cards 05.32: The aftermath of the Whitecaps loss to LA 16.20: Whitecaps v Sounders - postgame analysis with audio from MDS and Cavalliini 65.31: Ryan Gauld - what would the Whitecaps get? Featuring some thoughts from MDS 81.59: CPL kicks off featuring audio from Pa Modou Kah and Stephen Hart 102.44: Alan Koch interview and FC Edmonton chat 135.07: David Clanachan audio and more CPL chat

Good morning and welcome to Montrose Fresh, from The Montrose Daily Press. It's MondayApril 12th and we're here to bring you a closer look at our top stories, events and more that matter to us here in Western Colorado.    Today - Sunset Mesa Funeral Foundation defendants were ordered to pay millions of dollars to 30 people who sued them over the selling of their loved ones' bodies.    Today's episode is brought to you by Elevate Internet. Whether it's for your home or your business they offer the best speeds at the best price. Right now, if you refer a friend you can get $25 off! Give them a call for more information at 844-386-8744 or visit them at elevateinternet.com.   Now, our feature story.   Sunset Mesa Funeral Foundation defendants were ordered to pay millions of dollars to 30 people who sued them over the selling of their loved ones' bodies.    After hearing testimony in February, Montrose District Judge Cory Jackson awarded all but one plaintiff damages.   Jackson found that Sunset Mesa defendants Megan Hess, Shirley Koch, and Alan Koch were all liable.    Lead plaintiff Christopher Artrup and the other 29 plaintiffs suffered in four ways according to Jackson's order. First, the defendants stole money that was paid for proper funeral services. Second they stole personal property like jewelry from the bodies. Third, they actually stole and sold the bodies. And finally, these actions caused pain and suffering.   During February proceedings, plaintiffs told of nightmares. Enduring trauma and grief. They detailed the pain of not knowing what had become of loved ones.   Debra Schum testified to caring for her best friend of 30 years in her final days. She entrusted her arrangements to Sunset Mesa, only to later learn Johnson's body was sold.   The judgment totaled about $16 million. Payments range between $468,000 and close to $1 million per plaintiff.   But attorney Keith Killian reminded his clients that being able to find these funds will be difficult. Especially since the FBI has seized assets from the defendants.   The Artrup case was one of six lawsuits filed against Sunset Mesa. Of the six, it's the fourth to result in a judgment against Sunset Mesa Funeral Foundation defendants.   Separate from the civil action, Megan and her mother Shirley have been federally indicted over an alleged scheme to acquire and sell human remains.    Sunset Mesa Funeral Foundation did business as Sunset Mesa Funeral Directors in Montrose until 2018. It was then when the FBI and state of Colorado served search warrants.   Hess and Shirley Koch were federally indicted last year on allegations of mail fraud. The fraud related to shipping diseased human remains.    Ultimately the feds allege the women engaged in a scheme to get bodies to sell to the medical and research market.   The case is tentatively set for trial in August.   To read more about this meeting visit us at montrosepress.com   -   And before we go we'd like to highlight recent updates on the Rotary Amphitheater.   The city has broken ground on the new Rotary Amphitheater construction site near the Cerise Park dog park.   So far, construction workers have completed the land contouring.   Mayor pro tem Dave Frank noted that they're moving forward in a fast and great way.   With the land contouring complete, workers are now installing pipelines.   Frank said the city is hoping for the project to be completed around late fall. Just in time for seasonal concerts.   For now, the city has a tentative opening ceremony planned. The ceremony may even feature a concert.   Construction on the amphitheater broke ground back at the start of March. The project comes as part of an effort to bring more people to Montrose for events.    The city anticipates the amphitheater will also boost the economy. Everything from providing jobs to construction workers, architects and vendors, to filling up hotels, restaurants and gas stations.   To learn more about the project visit us at montrosepress.com   That's all for today, thank you for listening!

We also have the latest news from North America and around the world as football's shutdown continues, but a couple of leagues return, bring you our latest FK Slutsk update, and chat about our newly discovered love of the Faroe Islands Premier League.

In our sixth episode, we are joined on the podcast by Former FC Cincinnati, Vancouver Whitcaps & current Colorado Switchbacks FC Coach Alan Koch to discuss his journey from growing up in Durban, South Africa to finally becoming a manager in the USL/MLS in Canada & the United States. Enjoy!

In this episode, Andrew Wiebe, David Gass, Bobby Warshaw and Calen Carr tackle the close of MLS’s primary transfer window. Which moves did the guys like the most? Which teams did what they had to do as the count ticked down? The Rapids certainly didn’t sit on their hands, getting younger and filling holes after they fired head coach Anthony Hudson. The Crew weren’t playing around either, but the winner was either the Seattle Sounders or Portland Timbers. The Athletic’s Sam Stejskal calls in to pull back the curtain. Meanwhile, Paul Tenorio (yes, too much Athletic) doesn’t have a good nickname, but he does have the lowdown on the Fire’s proposed move from Bridgeview to Soldier Field downtown. FC Cincinnati president and GM Jeff Berding also calls in to explain why he dismissed head coach Alan Koch just 11 games into the club’s first MLS season and what comes next. Could David Moyes coach FCC? It’s possible. Also in this episode … US Open Cup gets a huge upgrade, The Movement is back and a Minnesota fan gets some Loons swag in the Mailbag. 3:57 – What move, what team, what transfer happening stood out? 8:35 – Doop! Union get the Bobby Warshaw MLS MVP … David Accam! 13:08 – Can Justin Meram rediscover his All-Star form in Atlanta? 18:20 – Transfer window winners, losers and takeaways with Sam Stejskal (The Athletic) 25:12 – US Open Cup gets a (deserved) upgrade and brings the drama 29:08 – Are the Fire moving to Soldier Field? Paul Tenorio (The Athletic) has the details 37:55 – Quick takes on Alan Koch’s dismissal as FC Cincinnati head coach 40:32 – INTERVIEW: FCC president and GM Jeff Berding on why he fired Koch and what’s next (Moyes?) 52:40 – Previewing the new season of The Movement, hosted by Calen Carr

The Reds have another weird delay dealing with lights and they lose 2-0 to the Athletics and get no-hit. I explain why getting no hit isn't such a big deal. Plus we put the finishing touches on the whole Alan Koch situation. Jeff Rueter from the Athletic joins our show to talk FC Cincinnati. And is Alex Erickson untouchable?

Mike and Rick embark on an Alan Koch firing megapod.  They start with the quotes from Koch and Adi that seemed to bring things to a head (0:15).  Then look back at the disastrous Philly and San Jose matches that set up the firing (13:20).  Finally the two look ahead to the start of the Dalmet era as the Montreal Impact come to Nippert (27:00).

Jeff Rueter of The Athletic wrote a Great Piece regrading Alan Koch being fired by FC Cincinnati. So why not have him on the show to go in depth about why he maybe lost his job.

This week we talk about the Cincinnati Reds Up and Down season w/ Clay Snowden.  FC Cincinnati has fired Alan Koch. The Bengals had a decent draft. #PikeToBinns are going to the HOF with Dan Hoard!!!

KLR is joined by Das Harkes himself to discuss the events surrounding today's firing of coach Alan Koch...

In this episode, Andrew, David, Bobby and Susannah gather to discuss Major League Soccer’s current trend: coaches calling out their own squads. First up, Andrew’s 2019 MLS All-Star presented by Target XI. Got a chance, says Wiebe! Gonna get rolled by Atletico Madrid, says everyone else. Then it’s on to FC Cincinnati and Alan Koch – with plenty of props for the first-place Union – after comments from the coach that made it clear he believes the current squad isn’t enough to compete. It’s a risky move, as Anthony Hudson found out. The Rapids parted ways with their head coach this week, and GM Padraig Smith called in to Extratime to explain the firing, lay out what comes next and take some responsibility himself. Who are the best candidates for the job? Bobby has a list, but we want to know what you think. In the Week 10 preview, planning for Baby Cameron’s first-ever MLS game at Red Bull Arena, the state of the Texas Derby (and Austin’s place in a few years), Sporting KC’s injury crisis and our ESPN+ games of the week featuring the Ozzie Alonso game, Crew struggles, Toronto FC rumors and Whitecaps-Rapids. In the mailbag … Cristian Roldan’s red card was successfully appealed and listeners have some fun with the verdict. Plus, the top attacking duos in MLS. 2:56 – Concacaf Champions League final is pure, uncut #CCLFever   4:41 – Atletico Madrid, Diego Simeone are coming to Orlando for the All-Star Game 7:55 – Bobby helps you understand why the Union are rolling 10:53 – FCC hit a bump in the expansion road, Alan Koch says they need better players 19:30 – INTERVIEW: Rapids GM Padraig Smith on Anthony Hudson firing 30:02 – Crew gives their take on the state of and future of the Rapids 34:30 – Cameron Wiebe is going to Red Bull Arena!

On this week's show, we talk tactics with new CST staff member Coach Brad Gough. We also take a moment to recap FC Cincinnati's 2-0 loss to LAFC. Tara Mullins is our awesome episode captain this week. Thank you so much for your generous support Tara! If you’d like to wear the armband for an episode of Cincinnati Soccer Talk log onto CincinnatiSoccerTalk.com/support. Episode bandwidth provided by CincyShirts.com. HIGHLIGHTS FROM THIS WEEK’S SHOW. On this week’s show, Boston, Rob and I recap FC Cincinnati’s 2-0 defeat to LAFC from the CincyShirts.com Studios. We were all quite shocked to see the starting XI that Alan Koch rolled out for Saturday night’s match, particularly Justin Hoyte getting the start at RB. After 10 minutes, it looked as though it would be an LAFC onslaught. Darren Mattocks nearly scored on the counter which could have changed the match. In the end, a 2-0 result is a better outcome than most of us expected. We had a chance to talk tactics this week with new CST staff member Brad Gough. Brad is currently a technical director with the Northern Kentucky Soccer Academy. He’s got a wealth of knowledge when it comes to soccer and tactics and we’re really thrilled to have him on board with us. Can you believe we’re already 25% through with the MLS season? What would you change? What are you happy about a quarter of the way through? We wrapped up the show with a brief CST ExtraTime session. IT’S NOT TOO LATE TO JOIN THE GROWLER CUP OR CST MLS FANTASY!

Well that's been a week we're glad is over. A difficult one for Vancouver Whitecaps off the pitch, and a mixed one on it. We're focussing on the footballing aspects of it all in the latest AFTN Soccer Show, as we look back at the match that was the 1-1 draw between the 'Caps and FC Dallas on Saturday. A good result considering all the line-up issues and uncertainty? We discuss that, who stood out, who didn't, the goals, the talking points, and more, plus we hear from Brek Shea [at 31:11] about the whirlwind Saturday he had. We also hear from the Dallas side from defenders Matt Hedges and Atiba Harris [40:40] who talk about the match, and former Whitecap Harris chats a little bit about the new football club he's setting up in his native St Kitts and Nevis. It's going to be a busy week for the 'Caps at all levels. Minnesota is next up for the MLS team, and we preview what that might look like [49:00], before turning our attention the Residency teams who head to the USSDA playoffs this week. We chat with experienced defender Pa Modou Kah [60:13], who's in charge of the U18 team this week, about his transition to coaching and the playoffs ahead, plus we hear from WFC2 head coach Rich Fagan [67:46], about what help his squad may provide for the team. Turning our attentions down south, it was quite the week for former WFC2 and SFU Clan head coach Alan Koch, whose FC Cincinnati side beat MLS opposition in the US Open Cup and revealed their new stadium proposals, with an eye firmly on making the jump to Major League Soccer. We chat with Alan [73:49] about all that, his time with the 'Caps and SFU, and lots more. And there's still time to chat about IFAB's new proposed rule changes to the game [92:46] and Half Man Half Biscuit feature again in this week's Wavelength section.

Ho Ho Ho everyone! It wouldn't be Christmas without AFTN's Christmas Special podcast and aptly, we have a veritable cracker in store for you this year. There's a lot of magical things about Christmas, but let's be honest, the best part is the presents! And if they're football related pressies, then all the better! I'm sure we've all had a few over the years. Vancouver Whitecaps players and managers certainly have and there's some they'd still like to get this year as Carl Robinson, Alan Koch, Kendall Waston, Tim Parker, Pa Modou Kah, Kekuta Manneh, Pedro Morales, Mauro Rosales and Octavio Rivero share with us. Also in the show, Kekuta tells us about the first pair of proper football boots he ever received, Robbo talks Boxing Day games back in blighty, and Mauro and WFC2 player Victor Blasco tell us what Christmas is like in Argentina and Spain. And no special podcast would be complete without hearing what Pedro and Mauro's favourite jam is! Have a listen!

It's December, it's the offseason, so that can only mean one thing - AFTN's annual pre Christmas "State of the Whitecaps" chat with 'Caps coach Carl Robinson. As always, Robbo is very open and honest with us about the season past and what lies ahead for 2016 and beyond. How busy will the 'Caps be in the transfer market this offseason and where is Robbo looking to strengthen? How will the new TAM be used and will this see at least one more DP come to Vancouver? Where will the goals come from next year? We cover all this and a lot more in our half hour chat, as we talk tactics and formations, the value of MLS experience, the complexities of moving players within the league, developmental pathways and find out the latest on David Ousted, Cristian Techera, Callum Irving and some other titbits. And we also ask the big question - what would it take to tempt Robbo away from the Whitecaps right now? As an added extra this year, we also have a chat with WFC2 head coach Alan Koch about what he's learned from the club's first USL season, preparations for year two, and the upcoming MLS SuperDraft. Have a listen!

The weekend started off so brightly for us here at AFTN Towers. Both East Fife and Wimbledon got big victories in their respective leagues, but then the Whitecaps took to the pitch. It was a double losing weekend for the 'Caps, with Seattle claiming this year's Cascadia Cup with a 3-0 victory on Saturday and then Austin Aztex coming back from two goals down to beat WFC2 3-2 in USL action on Sunday. That's what you call a bad weekend. We've been playing the Art Brut song of the same name on repeat as a result. Michael and Steve are joined by AFTN writer Jay Duke to look back at the Seattle loss. What went wrong? Were there any positives to take from it? And what does it mean, if anything, for the rest of the season. We also look ahead to the next clash between the two sides, Wednesday's winner takes all CONCACAF Champions League group game. The USL season wrapped up on Sunday and we chat with WFC2 head coach Alan Koch about the successes of the team's inaugural season and what lies in store for the team and the players moving forward. And there's still time to catch up with Austin Aztex head coach Paul Dalglish about his return to Texas, the club moving up from PDL to USL and the impact on the Whitecaps of former Aztec, Kekuta Manneh. Have a listen!

A winless weekend for the Whitecaps, but fear not, the AFTN podcast is here to try and take your mind off things. Although talking about the things probably doesn't quite do that. Hmmm. We're joined by guest Harjeet Johal for most of this episode, to look over the loss to Seattle Sounders and look ahead to this Wednesday Canadian Championship semi-final second leg at FC Edmonton. What went wrong and can Robbo turn things around quickly? How strong a team will take the pitch at Clarke Field? Was the 'Caps early season success a true indication of the team or inflated? We hear from both head coaches, Vancouver's Carl Robinson and Seattle's Sigi Schmid, along with audio from the victorious Sounders locker room as we chat with goalscorer Chad Barrett and the central defensive pairing of Brad Evans and Chad Marshall. And we have a couple of MLS veteran goalkeeping guests on this episode as well. First up, former Sounders keeper and current colour guy Kasey Keller talks a little bit about the weekend's match and then former Sporting KC keeper Jimmy Nielsen talks to us about getting in to coaching in Oklahoma and shares his thoughts on his fellow Dane, David Ousted. And there's still time to look at WFC2's 2-2 draw with OKC Energy in USL action and chat with coach Alan Koch. Have a listen!

It's been a busy few days in Whitecapsland as the various incarnations of Vancouver Whitecaps played four games over two days and came away with just one win, two draws and a loss. The defeat came in MLS action on Saturday night where referee Dave Gantar gave the impression that he wanted to be the centre of attention. Whether he did or not, he became it anyway. We look back at just what went wrong in the Caps' 2-1 loss to DC and get the thoughts of both coaches, Vancouver's Carl Robinson and DC's Ben Olsen, along with Whitecaps captain Pedro Morales and goalkeeping rock David Ousted. We also have some exclusive chats from the victorious DC United locker room as we hear from debutant sub keeper Travis Worra, matchwinner Chris Rolfe and Perry Kitchen, and we talk with Kofi Opare about the game and the chances of him suiting up for the Canadian national team. Turning our attention to USL action, we take a brief look at WFC2's 1-1 draw with Seattle Sounders 2 on Sunday and hear from coach Alan Koch, goalscorer Robert Earnshaw and captain Tim Parker. And there's still time to have an extended one on one chat with S2 head coach Ezra Hendrickson about the game, his team's season so far and just how Seattle are looking to use their USL side.

Another Saturday, another late, late winning goal for Vancouver Whitecaps. It's all getting so wonderfully predictable! Portland Timbers became the latest team to be on the end of a Whitecaps smash and grab thanks to Robert Earnshaw's 90th minute winner. Nice to do that in any game but when it's in a Cascadian derby against one of your fiercest rivals, then it's even sweeter. So as you can imagine, we're pretty cock-a-hoop here at AFTN Towers as we bring you our double whammy of our Portland postgame show and a quick USL WFC2 preview podcast. We pick over the bones of the game and hear from both Vancouver coach Carl Robinson and Portland head honcho Caleb Porter, with their thoughts on how the match played out, the goals and the key players. And talking of those, we also hear from Whitecaps match winner Robert Earnshaw and the man of the match, goalkeeper David Ousted. We also hear from the Portland locker room, with the thoughts of Timbers DP Liam Ridgewell, goalscorer Fanendo Adi and defender Nat Borchers. And there's still time for a quick look at WFC2 kicking off their USL season against Seattle on Sunday, as we chat with head coach Alan Koch and captain Tyler Rosenlund. Have a listen!

It feels like we've been talking about it for ages, but it's only been since last summer that the seeds for Vancouver Whitecaps' USL team were sewn. Those seeds have now sprouted and the team is coming together, with open tryouts this weekend and their preseason training camp kicking off on Monday. The 'Caps have announced the first three signings to the USL squad - all Residency graduates and all in this special WFC2 episode of "There's Still Time", the AFTN podcast. We have exclusive one to one chats with defender Jackson Farmer and midfielder Mitch Piraux about the signing of their first professional contracts, what the USL team means to their development and being involved in last year's Voyageurs Cup squad. Farmer also tells us about making the transition from centre defender to right back and his recent trip to the World Cup qualifiers with the Canadian U20 team. And there's still time for our thoughts on the team and some training scrum audio from the other USL signing Jordan Haynes and head coach Alan Koch. Have a listen!

Episode 93 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN podcast, is our first roundtable of the year. When the cat’s away, the mice will play. Your regular host Michael has gone all Braveheart and is staging a one-man invasion of England. In his absence, Zachary Meisenheimer and Steven Lamothe join your other regular co-host Steve Pandher to look at what was a fairly busy offseason. The trio look at the main signings of the winter and what, if anything, can be drawn from the first preseason game of the year – a 2-0 win over New England. There’s WFC2 USL PRO chat and interviews with young ‘Caps striker Caleb Clarke and new Whitecaps FC 2 head coach Alan Koch. And there’s still time to pick over the bones of the flop that was the Canadian U20’s World Cup qualifying campaign.
