Podcast appearances and mentions of daniel squizzato

Daniel Squizzato joins the podcast to chat about the 2019 Concacaf Gold Cup and what we can expect from Canada at the tournament. He and Mitchell Tierney also give a women's world cup update. 

Daniel Squizzato of Vice Sports and MLSSoccer.com joins the show to talk about the Canadian Men's National Team, the Canadian Premier League and the Campeones Cup.

The floodgates have opened. MLS news is coming thick and fast as GMs, coaches and scouts work to build opening day rosters that will get them into the playoffs. The guys start with the LA Galaxy, who traded for Perry Kitchen and are quietly having a sneaky solid offseason. Plus, what's Ola Kamara worth on the MLS trade market? How about Lee Nguyen, who says he wants out of New England? Play your kids! That's a refrain you hear often on ETR. Andrew, Matt and Ben dig into all the South American prospects who've joined the league this winter -- no, not Barco, yet -- and wonder what it all means for Homegrowns and other young domestic players. Finally, more drama for the Canadian national team as Octavio Zambrano lasts just 10 months as the head coach of the men's national team. His replacement? Well, let's just say you'll want Daniel Squizzato's explanation for why John Herdman, previously the women's coach, is switching roles.

It's a milestone episode for the AFTN Soccer Show, and we're dedicating our 200th episode to a milestone in Canadian soccer - the new Canadian Premier League. We'll chat about league logistics including locations, stadiums, the timing of the season, the player pool, and will we see a team here in the lower mainland and elsewhere in BC? We kick things off with an extensive chat with the Director of Business for the CPL, Paul Beirne, split into two parts [Part One at 03:52 / Part Two at 24:49], and we also hear the thoughts of long time league advocate Daniel Squizzato [53.00]. The league may still be at least a year away from starting but the supporters are already getting organised and fully behind it. With two cities already confirmed as having teams, Winnipeg and Hamilton, we chat to James Hutton [82:50] from the latter's supporters group, the Barton St Battalion. And we also talk to James Covey [100:56] from a supporters group hoping their city, Halifax, gets a club. All this, and a lot, lot more. The AFTN Soccer Show is brought to you in partnership with BCsoccerweb.com, your one stop site for all your BC, Canadian, and North American soccer news and links. Have a listen!

Has there been a bigger year in Canadian soccer? I think a compelling case could be made that 2015 has been the biggest. Not only did Canada host the Women's World Cup, but there were tons of other notable events with clubs, national teams, and individual players. At times it was difficult to keep track of it all. Here at FTBH we see it is part of our approach to try and support and connect others who are supporting soccer in Canada, and this influenced our approach for the 2015 review. We invited people from across the country to participate by sending us a brief discussion of their 2015 Canadian soccer highlights and a look forward to 2016. The people we contacted ranged from Voyageur friends to coaches, writers, bloggers, and pundits. And what a response! From across the country we received over 20 contributions. Needless to say, we feel incredibly thankful that we have been able to meet and get to know so many great soccer folks and we not only admire them a great deal, but are fortunate to be able to count them as friends. There were a few challenges for this podcast. Keeping the sound even when everyone is recording from different platforms was a bit of a challenge, so I apologize for any inconsistencies. Otherwise, I hope you enjoy everyone's contributions and can feel their passion for soccer in Canada. Here is a list of the contributors in the order that they appear on the podcast. And of course, thanks very much to them all for taking the time. Kamal Hylton, Aaron Neilsen, Bobby McMahon, Zach Lawton, Simon Fudge, Carolyn Duthie, Adam Huber, Nathan Terlesky, Richard Wyatt, Jeff Paulus, Duncan Fletcher, Greyson Knutson, Gavin Day, Jeff Salisbury, Fred Jean-Francois, Tommy Wheeldon, James Hutton, Daniel Squizzato, Mark Hinkley, Steve Sandor, Jon Eden, Mark Dailey, Kevin Laramee, Kristin Knowles, Sam Gregory. (And as a side note, contributions were sent from Vancouver, Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Winnipeg, Hamilton, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal, and London, England ... hopefully I didn't miss any there).

Even though the summer of soccer is over for us at FTBH, and even though we have already dealt with many of the topics in Episode 51, it seemed appropriate, especially given the number of high profile competitions in Canada this year, that we give these a little more airtime. Enter a guy who never has a shortage of things to say on Canadian soccer topics, Daniel Squizzato. To the uninitiated it might seem strange to have as our longest single podcast (and it is coming in at a little over two hours) be filled primarily with one person talking. And it's true that Squizz is notoriously long-winded. However, there are few people in the Canadian soccer media landscape that combine the ability to synthesize an argument, the talent to write or speak in an intelligent yet accessible way, and the passion for the sport in this country quite like Squizz. Two hours but worth every second.

It's been quite the summer so far. Busy and exciting and sometimes painful. On the good side, we have had the densest concentration of Canadian team soccer games likely in Canada's history. On the bad side, being so busy trying to travel to these has made it very difficult to do any podcasting. But finally we have put together our 51st episode. It is a long rambling and crazy thing. Here is a list of the different topics we've attempted to discuss: 1) We discuss the Women's World Cup and its aftermath (although we really intend to do a more in depth treatment of this in the future). 2) We recorded a segment in the middle of the Canada vs Jamaica Gold Cup game at the Touchdown Pub in Hamilton. Joining us were Sam Gregory, James Hutton, Richard Wyatt, and Caroline Duthie. We also recorded while dejectedly walking toward the stadium in Hamilton hoping that the Canadian Women's PanAm team would be cathartic. 3) In the aftermath of the women's PanAm game versus Ecuador we had the great fortune of meeting Melsaide Tate (mother of Kadeisha Buchanan), Tina Lawrence (mother of Ashley Lawrence), and Mary Zadorsky (mother of Shelina Zadorsky) and they generously agreed to give their perspective on the game and their daughters' performances. 4) Grant Surridge poses serious questions about Daniel Squizzato followed by Mike Shwanke and Nicky Cottee discussing our Gold Cup prospects vs Costa Rica. 5) Finally Jeff and I summed up our thoughts on Canada's performance in the Gold Cup while waiting to fly back to Saskatchewan. It was a pretty busy few weeks. Hope you enjoy this rambling reliving of some of these experiences.

The 2015 Women’s World Cup is over. It’s written in the history books now, but we want to wave it one final goodbye with a special wrap up show that also takes a look at the future for both the Canadian men and women’s national teams. We’re joined by the well-travelled Harjeet Johal to look back at the tournament. Was it a success all round? Did the right team win? What now for the women’s game in terms of coverage and play? We look at all this and more. Next up we hear from the American side with SI.com senior writer Grant Wahl who was all over this land covering the tournament for Fox Sports. Grant looks back on the win for the US, what it will mean for both the national team and domestic game moving forward and his love of Canada and how they hosted. And there’s still time to not just look back, but to look to the future, the rather immediate future, as we’re joined by CanadianSoccerNews.com and MLSSoccer.com writer Daniel Squizzato, while he still had some sanity left after watching Abby Wambach and Sydney Leroux win a World Cup on Canadian turf! We chat with Squizz about this month’s Gold Cup. What kind of health are Canada in? Do they realistically have a shot at this thing? Is a US v Mexico final already written in the stars? Have a listen!
