​​The day has arrived! Arianna “Doc” Cascone makes her xOG début as we head into the homestretch of NWSL Season Preview Week. First up, Eric and Evan consider another team whose offseason was influenced by ownership transition. The Thorns replaced Crystal Dunn with Jessie Fleming (lol) and blended veteran re-signings with some young and untested internationals on the backline (hmmm). Even if they're a touch leaky, will they score enough goals to still win? Then, Arianna comes on to break down the Courage, and whether Ashley Sanchez is a bright enough spark to help them score goals in Kerolin's absence.  Click here to read ASA's written preview of today's teams, one of which was written by Arianna herself!

Pagi-pagi kami dikejutkan dengan kabar pemecatan Melissa Phillips dari jabatannya sebagai pelatih Brighton. Padahal secara prestasi rada mendingan loh. Ajax adalah contoh pembinaan homegrown yang berhasil di Belanda. Terbukti mereka bisa lolos ke perempatfinal UWCL untuk pertama kalinya dengan nyaris 100% pemain lokal. Tapi malah terbalik dengan wakil Jerman. Karena tak ada satupun wakil mereka di perempatfinal. Dengan segala disasternya. Untuk pertama kalinya sejak rebranding UWCL pada 2009/10. Ada apakah ini? Apa yang harus diubah oleh klub Frauen Bundesliga jika ingin berprestasi di Eropa lagi? Winter transfer resmi ditutup. Banyak kejutan, ada juga yang so so dan ada rekor pecah. AFC U17 Putri akhirnya terkonfirmasi nih. Bali akan jadi tuan rumah. Oh iya, pelatih timnas putri apa kabar ya? Sandra Panos meninggalkan Barcelona pada akhir musim. Ke NWSL atau Liga MX Femenil nih? Asisat Oshoala ke Bay FC dan Jessie Fleming ke Thorns akhirnya resmi terkonfirmasi. Plus Jen Beattie ke Bay FC juga. Plus memahami konteks dari ucapan Lindsey Horan yang heboh di The Athletic.

Setelah kalah dari Chelsea, Manchester United kini jaraknya 10 poin dari pemuncak klasemen, title race udah susah, UWCL apalagi. Poin juga sama dengan Liverpool dan Spurs. Fanspun makin gerah sama Marc Skinner. Menarik karena Chelsea lagi memantau Lena Oberdorf. Seberapa mungkin sih kesepakatan akan terjadi. Nyari pengganti Sam Kerr memang sulit. Pilihannya jatuh pada striker timnas Kolombia Mayra Ramirez dari Levante. Nilai transfernya diklaim sekitar 450 ribu Euro beserta bonus 50 ribu Euro. Sementara dari UWCL matchday 5, Brann resmi mendampingi Lyon, Benfica juga ngasih kejutan sebagai runner up grup B, kalo grup C sendiri sih semuanya bisa terjadi, dan Grup D sendiri Chelsea memastikan diri lolos ke perempatfinal. Mengapa Carmelina Moscato masih sulit dapat pekerjaan sebagai pelatih baru sebuah klub? Jessie Fleming bersiap ke NWSL. Ji So-Yun resmi berseragam Seattle Reign. Casey Stoney resmi bertahan di San Diego sekaligus mematahkan berbagai rumor. Dan masih banyak silly season yang terjadi di NWSL sebelum dimulai pada Maret mendatang. Tatiana Flores resmi berseragam Tigres. Flores bersaudarapun semuanya sudah pindah ke Nuevo Leon.

Friday regular, Rick Dhaliwal joined us to end the week. After the guys ripped Ricky for buying ice he talked about Aiden McDonough and his decision to go back for a 4th year. Talked about Trent Cull and what Abbotsford thinks of him. Talked about Rathbone. Rutherford says he is coming up. Wonders what they are waiting for with playoffs out of reach. Talked about Bruce and the rumblings that he might not be back. Ricky doesn’t like that there would have been 3 coaches in 9 months, if he doesn’t come back. Last thing in the world a team wants. Thinks that Boudreau would want to know very soon if he will be back. The head coach of the Canadian Women’s National Soccer Team, Bev Priestman, joined Matt and Blake. Talked about what it will be like to finally have a crowd in Vancouver as they play in Vancouver for the next couple of matches. Talked about Christine Sinclair. Said that Sinclair has more to give and this won’t be a final goodbye for her. Talked about the difference between the World Cup and the Olympics. Says they are totally different tournament. Talked about the depth in her squad. More specifically Jordyn Huitema. Brought up the likes of Julia Grosso. Talked about building the sport in Canada. Has been here since 2013 and Jessie Fleming was the next big star. The men qualifying will do great for the budget and the money the association receives. Talked about Quinn and the role they have played in the squad. Talked about the small town in England, population 28,000, that both Bev and Herdman are from. She is in Canada because of the shot he gave her. Talked about the chance she thinks Canada has in Men’s world cup. Says that John can do anything. Two of the teams are incredible but there is nothing this team can’t do. They are a threat in the counter attack, they get shutouts. He defends with a clean sheet mindset. When you look at the forwards they have, they can get anything done. The longer the game goes, the more pressure on them. Talked about the athleticism. Said they are the only team doing what they are doing without a league. Says that will be rectified by 2024. Rob Williams of the Daily Hive joined Matt and Blake to close the week. Talked about the World Cup and how Canada drew into the tournament. Talked about Conor Garland and the tough stretch he is on under BB. Talked about OEL and if he is underperforming. Talked about being close in points with Schenn and Hunt. He isn’t the player fans were hoping they got. Talked about the whispers surrounding Boudreau and returning for next year. That would be a tough sell to the fanbase. He is more popular than any of the players right now.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Maryam & André survived CFCW's recent attacks on their fragile hearts and are back to discuss two matches that were wild and scary in two very different ways. First, we look back on the 3-3 draw versus Wolfsburg. We discuss Pernille Harder's Revenge Tour, and how she's suddenly the player stepping up when Chelsea need a goal. We also dissect what was a beautiful and well-controlled start to the match that everyone forgot thanks to panic and calamity at the back gifting Wolfsburg goals and Chelsea putting Chelsea on their back foot. Then we review the match at the weekend, where Pernille Harder saved the day yet again, but we also spotlight a brilliant performance from Jessie Fleming. We also discuss ways Chelsea can find more success against clubs who refuse to step out. We also chat about potential consequences of Chelsea not being able to rely on a secondary XI against milder opposition. We wrap up with André's favorite segment, predictions! We look ahead to our second UWCL group stage match against Juventus and beg, pray, plead, and wish for a comfortable win – because our hearts need it. Please listen, subscribe, rate and review! Thank you for listening! #CFCW

The 2015 Women's World Cup is just over a week away. Forget all the FIFA scandals for now and look forward to what football should be about, the actual action on the pitch. So join us for the second of our special Canadian Women's National Team pre-World Cup podcasts. We look at the strengths and weaknesses of the Canadian team and their opponents with the help of Harjeet Johal. Where will Canada finish? Who is going to win the whole thing? And who are the dark horses to watch out for? We also bring you more of our fun chats with the CWNT players. Kicking things off is goalkeeper Erin McLeod, as we delve into the mind of the player on the pitch and the artist and speaker off it. Another goalie is next up, with Karina Leblanc the latest to spill the beans on her friends and squad member with our latest instalment of "Teammates. You know that's going to be radio gold. From the oldest player on the team to the youngest! We chat with new sensation Jessie Fleming about coming into a group of players that's been together so long, what she learned at the U20 World Cup, her plans for the future and do her teammates try and sneak her into clubs?! We finish up our players chat with one of our faves, the Destroyer, Desiree Scott as we talk playing in England, nicknames and fish and chips! And there's still time to talk jam, with Emily Zurrer, Rhian Wilkinson, Allysha Chapman and Diana Matheson. Have a listen!

The 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup kicks off a month to this very day in Edmonton (hopefully without any snow). With the eyes of the world's game focusing on Canada for a month or so, we thought we'd get you in the mood with the first of two Canadian Women's National Team special podcasts that we'll be bringing your way before the tournament kicks off. We'll be talking with a number of different aspects to the CWNT - coaches, players and fans. Kicking things off is head coach John Herdman, who talks a little bit about some of the players announced to his World Cup squad and what the thrills of playing at home will mean to him and the team. We kick off our chats with the players with our first ever CWNT "Teammates" section, as Emily Zurrer shares some insights and home truths about the team. Who has the worst dress sense? Who's the most intelligent? And who takes the longest in the shower and in front of the bathroom mirror? All this and more inside info! One name that cropped up a few times in Emily's "Teammates" section (and Karina Leblanc's which you'll hear in another episode) was midfielder Rhian Wilkinson. Now, I have to admit here, Rhian was my particular favourite player we spoke with for these two podcasts. She was great fun to chat with (not the others weren't, but we could have chatted with her for way longer than we did!) and we covered a whole host of topics including what playing a World Cup in Canada means to her, the learning process from tournaments past and whether a coaching role is in her plans after she finishes playing. Away from the playing side we find out about her podcast habits, her childhood without television and playing so many other sports, whose Panini sticker she carried around and we try and get her to write for us here at AFTN (the offer of which is still open Rhi!!). Taking a break from the players for a few minutes, we chat with one of the leading lights of the Voyageurs supporters' group of west, Curva Collective member Zachary Meisenheimer. Zach talks to us about what having the tournament here means to the fans and how they plan to support not just the CWNT but the whole tournament. One of the newest faces in the squad is Allysha Chapman. After only getting her first senior cap last October, the 26-year-old is now set to play a World Cup on home soil. We talk to Allysha about her journey, what it was like coming into such a close knit group, playing in Sweden, how hard it is to keep hold of mascots hands, her love of Maple Leafs and maple butter, and we find out who sent her an email saying "we're watching you"! A player who was touch and go to make the World Cup roster was one of our particular favourite players, Diana Matheson. The midfield dynamo talks to us about her recovery from her two injuries, the x-factor John Herdman brings to the team, what the girls learned from the 2011 World Cup and 2012 Olympic experiences, dealing with the mental pressures and advantages of playing a World Cup on home soil and her Netflix habits. And there's still time for some more jam talk, this time with Erin McLeod and Karina Leblanc, the youngest player on the squad, striker Jessie Fleming and midfielder Desiree Scott. Have a listen!
