We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, and Canadian national team chat. The Whitecaps didn't get back to winning ways in Toronto but they took a point on the road and that's rarely a bad thing. We delve into the goalless draw against TFC and the main takeaways from the match, that sadly saw injuries to Andres Cubas and Mathias Laborda. Can we read much into the recent blips? Will the team be hampered now against Pumas in the Champions Cup? And how does the weekend's results leave the 'Caps in the lie of the land in the MLS West? We talk about all of that and more and chat with WFC2 standout Nelson Pierre, who made it three goals in three games on Saturday. We've two feature interviews for you this episode.

We look back at last season, the offseason rebuild, the season ahead, plans for youth players and L1BC, and more.

The 2025 MLB season has finally returned, and with it comes more optimism for better days for the Toronto Blue Jays - with the Jays already back in action, Donnovan chats with former Jays ace Ricky Romero (47:50) on Alejandro Kirk signing a long-term extension, what's next in the extension department for Vladimir Guerrero Jr., and the health of the game overall (including the arm health for many young pitchers across MLB). Afterwards, Donnovan chats with Apple TV's Alex Faust (1:27:36), as Friday Night Baseball gears up for another season - they get into the Jays' chances of competing in a tough division, and touch on a few larger baseball topics, including the seemingly-unstoppable Dodgers. Plus, some good and bad news from Canada Soccer, as they dispatch the USA at the CONCACAF Nations League, but lose star Alphonso Davies to a torn ACL in the process. Donnovan brings on former Canada Soccer star Kara Lang (2:50) to discuss the tournament, her experience in rehabbing from a tough injury, and what she's looking forward to about the coming debut for the Northern Super League. The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the hosts and guests and do not necessarily reflect the position of Rogers Sports & Media or any affiliates.

Welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso from the SDH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse.First it was Alphonso Davies' agent yelling at Canada Soccer about Alphonso Davies' knee injury, now it's Bayern Munich. The club came out today and accused Canada Soccer of "gross negligence" and said they could take the situation to court as Davies was given the all-clear by doctors with the Canadian national team but Bayern doctors found the torn ACL. It's a mess all the way around.Chelsea's women are chasing the quadruple after their quarterfinal comeback to eliminate Manchester City in the UEFA Women's Champions League. 3 first half goals overturned the 2 goal advantage held by City after the first leg. With the League Cup trophy already in the bag and a sizable lead in the Women's Super League, Chelsea is in the semifinals of the Champions League and the FA Cup. Can the Blues do it?MLS weekend ahead, our broadcast of Atlanta United vs. NYCFC will start with pregame coverage at 6:30 on 92.9 The Game and the Audacy app with kickoff coming up at 7:40pm. MLS Six Pack is coming up later today on our audio and video platforms, where we'll learn more about Chicago's great form so far in 2025. The league has also signed some additional linear distribution deals internationally for Sunday Night Soccer (Portland vs Houston this week) to expand the international coverage they get from Apple TV. Plenty more in the Espresso, but one more that I found interesting. La Liga F, the top flight women's league in Spain, is asking FIFA for permission to use the new "Football Video Support" system next season. They do not have VAR currently, FVS is seen as a more cost-effective way to have a form of replay. The service is expected to utilize two coaches' challenges per match with the fourth official involved in using the replay from the TV broadcast cameras available. More Espresso coming on Monday on the SDH Network, presented by Oglethorpe University.
