It's a very special episode of Electric Gold as the boys usher in the 2026 soccer season for Nashville SC.  Up first, the boys look ahead to the matchup with Canadian Premier League champs, Atletico Ottawa.  And to do so, they welcome special guests from the Capital City Supporters Group to share insights about the team, the players and what the hell there is to do in Hamilton, Ontario.  Special guests Bryce and Jon share some great stories about the history of Ottawa soccer, their fan culture, the recent success of their team, and especially the origin of their T-Rex mascot.  And of course, everyone bonds over their love of Letterkenny, SCTV and other Canadian comedy gems.  When that's all done, the boys break out the crystal balls to make some predictions for the first game of the CONCACAF tournament.  And they drink beer.

Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast!In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to chat about all things Vancouver Whitecaps and Vancouver FC!To begin, they dive into the latest out of the Whitecaps, who have made some signings as they continue to prepare for the 2026 season. They look at what to expect from those signings, Oliver Larraz, Bruno Caicedo and Aziel Jackson, who appear to fill key needs for the Whitecaps - who don't look to be done making moves, either (especially after Ryan Gauld's injury). After that, they take a quick look at how the Whitecaps preseason has gone so far, before diving into the big 'Caps news of the show - that their ongoing negotiations with BC Place aren't going too great. Could that spell disaster for a Whitecaps team that is hoping to soon build their own stadium? Things aren't so clear... Lastly, they finish with some chat about the Canadian Premier League's new logo and League 1 rebrand, before previewing Vancouver FC's upcoming Concacaf Champions Cup tie against Liga MX giants Cruz Azul. Make sure to check out The Third Sub Podcast on Twitter, @thirdsubpod, as well as on Instagram, @the3rdsub_.

The Whitecaps ended a tough five-game road stretch with a fairly decent record of two wins, one draw, and two defeats.

We delve into the main talking points coming out of that, look at the lie of the land in the MLS West, chat about the upcoming all-star game, and the now finalised transfer of Pedro Vite.

Football brings highs and lows and if you're a Whitecaps fan, you've had some pretty wild swings of those in the past week as the team scraped by CPL side Valour FC in the Canadian Championship, lost heavily in MLS to Colorado Rapids, then bounced back in style and started to look a little bit like their old selves in a big win at Houston Dynamo four days later. We delve into the talking points coming out of those three matches and happenings off the pitch, as Pedro Vite gets transferred to Mexico and a new Peruvian is coming to town.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, Northern Super League, and national team chat and interviews. What a week it's been in Whitecapsland. Eventful doesn't even do it justice, as the team returned from a heavy cup final loss only to be hit by gastrointestinal illness that left Sunday's derby game with Seattle Sounders in doubt. In the end it was played and despite everything the 'Caps came away with a stunning 3-0 win over their Cascadian rivals. We look back at the match, the build up, and the fallout. Turning our attention to the national teams, we look back at Canada's win over Ukraine in the Canadian Shield as they prepare for the Gold Cup, the Canadian women's U20s qualifying for the World Cup, and our feature interview is with the Vancouverite and Vancouver Rise player who scored her first goal for the senior team this week, Holly Ward.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, CONCACAF Champions Cup, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, and national team chat and interviews. Vancouver Whitecaps' trip to Mexico City was not a happy one. A heavy 5-0 loss to Cruz Azul in the Champions Cup final saw the 'Caps outclassed and look a shadow of the team that got them to that point. A tough one to take, but it shouldn't fully be allowed to cloud what was a fantastic and galvanising cup run and the season so far. The worry is that there could be some lasting psychological damage in the coming weeks and we hear from head coach Jesper Sorensen about lifting the team up after this and getting back to winning ways. We also look at Michael's experience in CDMX both at the match and in the city, plus the breaking news that the 'Caps didn't come home with a trophy, but they did come home with gastrointestinal illness. We look at what went down, what it means for the game against Seattle at the weekend, and hear from Whitecaps CEO Axel Schuster. We've also got four interviews to bring you this episode as we turn our attention to the international game. With Canada preparing for the Gold Cup later this month, we chat with the man who is, for us, the current number one goalkeeper for the national team, Minnesota United's Dayne St Clair and talk with head coach Jesse Marsch about the development pathway in Canada and the role of League1. Nine Whitecaps are off to represent their country this international window. We talk with one of them, Giuseppe Bovalina, who is off to play for Australia's U23 side, about his move to Vancouver, life in MLS, what he misses about back home, and playing with the Olyroos. Plus we chat with another antipodean, former Whitecap Michael Boxall, about New Zealand's qualification for the World Cup and his international career. All of this plus music-wise, a solo Pete Shelley begins his residency as our Album of the Month, we've a Britpop song from The Bluetones, and Armchair Loyal are back in Wavelength.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Championship, Canadian Premier League, and general football chat. The Whitecaps put in their worst performance of the season, but still came away with a battling point in a scoreless draw down in Austin. We delve into the main talking points coming away from a match that was an off day for many and unfortunately all in the same game. A mere blip or some cause for concern that the brutal schedule is catching up with the 'Caps ahead of their CONCACAF Champions Cup final? That schedule continues apace as the 'Caps kick off their quest for a Canadian Championship fourpeat in Winnipeg. We preview the Valour game and hear from their head coach Phillip Dos Santos. Plus we sit down for a chat with the man whose penalty in last year's Voyageurs Cup final clinched the vital victory that set up this year's historic Champions Cup run, Bjorn Inge Utvik.

We look into that and delve into the talking points coming out of the match. Plus we get the thoughts of head coach Jesper Sorensen. We also delve into our travels to two Canadian Championship matches this past week as Zach took in Vancouver FC's first ever win in the competition and Michael headed to Winnipeg with TSS Rovers for a close, but ultimately heartbreaking, narrow defeat.

The team booked their berth in the 2025 Concacaf Champions Cup final with a 5-1 aggregate win over Inter Miami. They are now 90 minutes away from winning a major trophy and qualifying for both the 2029 FIFA Club World Cup and the 2025 FIFA Inter-continental Cup. Crazy times and we break it all down in this episode and ponder where this ranks both now and potentially in the club's history compared to the 1979 NASL Soccer Bowl win and what impact it could have on the club and football in the city.

The Whitecaps keep on rolling on two fronts in what is already proving to be a season of amazing highs and it's not even the end of April yet. First the 'Caps dominantly dispatched Lionel Messi and his star-studded Miami side on Thursday in their Champions Cup semi-final first leg and then they followed that up by heavily rotating their starting line-up and going and getting a result in their top of the table clash in Minnesota on Sunday.
