Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast! In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to chat all things Vancouver Whitecaps ahead of the start of their 2024 MLS season. To begin, they take a look at the latest news out of Whitecaps land, as a few key 2023 pieces departed for new clubs in Richie Laryea, who joined Toronto FC, and Junior Hoilett, who joined Aberdeen. Meanwhile, closer to home, the 'Caps made one move ahead of the roster compliance deadline this weekend, signing veteran goalkeeper Joe Bendik as their third-string goalkeeper.  Rounding off the news section, they then take a look at the 2024 Canadian Championship draw, which occurred this week, where the Whitecaps learned their path towards a potential threepeat in that competition, with the potential for a first-ever Greater Vancouver derby potentially in the cards.  Finally, they take a look back at what they learned from the Whitecaps Concacaf Champions Cup tie with Tigres, in which the Whitecaps fell 4-1 across both legs, a score that probably flattered Tigres in the end.  From there, they dive into a jam-packed second half of the show, in which they previewed the Whitecaps 2024 season, looking at the team's outlook, rating their offseason and predict how they'll do in the three competitions they have remaining this year.  Can the 'Caps finish top 3 in the West? Can they win another Canadian Championship? Is this the year they get over the hump in the playoffs? What's the best and worst case scenario? They dive into all of those big questions, and much more, to help preview what should be one of the biggest 'Caps seasons since they've come into MLS.  Make sure to check out The Third Sub Podcast on Twitter, @thirdsubpod, as well as on Instagram, @the3rdsub_. 

Another double episode of the AFC DONScast this week. Between the two matches five goals in total as we draw against both Motherwell and Hibs at Pittodrie in two entertaining matches. Whilst encouragement can be taken from a Dons comeback it doesn't get away from the fact that our top six ambitions have been harmed by the results. We hear from manager, Neil Warnock following both matches and pre and post match analysis from Rob Maclean, Steve Tosh and AFC Women's manager, Clint Lancaster. Signing news as Junior Hoilett joins the Dons till the end of the season. We have more from the pupils from St Machar Academy and their project to design a unique top that was worn by the Dons in the warm-up ahead of our game against Hibs to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the AFC Community Trust. Plus the normal round-up of Dons and supporters news and the rest of the matches in the SPFL and Highland League from the weekend. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/afc-donscast5/message

Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast! In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, to chat all things Vancouver Whitecaps and CPL after a busy week on both fronts.  To begin, they dive into the latest out of the Whitecaps, who have had a busy week off the pitch despite being on an international break.  Firstly, there was the big news: they aren't done wheeling and dealing even if MLS's secondary transfer window closed in August. As a result, Sergio Cordóva has been sold to Turkey, while CanMNT attacker Junior Hoilett has been brought in as a free agent, in a pair of big moves from the Whitecaps.  Two different moves that help the club both in the present and future, with the latter especially proving to be true in Cordóva's case, they look at what these moves mean both for now, the rest of the season and the future of Vancouver.  Finally, they take a look at what's next for those 'Caps, who get set to travel to Toronto to face Toronto FC this upcoming weekend for a big clash in their ongoing quest to finish top four in MLS's Western Conference.  From there, they also finish up with some Canadian Premier League chatter, as Vancouver FC kept their playoff hopes alive in dramatic fashion this past weekend, while Pacific faced a small roadblock in their race to the regular season title, marking a busy matchday for both BC-based CPL outfits.  Make sure to check out The Third Sub Podcast on Twitter, @thirdsubpod, as well as on Instagram, @the3rdsub_.

The Wolverines were blown out 70-48 at Louisville in what is their second-largest margin of defeat so far this season. Michigan has a chance to avenge that loss on a grand stage. The third-seeded Wolverines face top seed Louisville on Monday in the Elite Eight with a trip to the Final Four at stake. Michigan’s Naz Hillmon was held to 12 points in the first meeting. That’s nine points under her current average.

R.J. Barrett led New York with 21 points, Julian Randle had 20 and Burks and Immanuel Quickly had 18 each. Trailing by two, the Pistons called a timeout to set up a final play with 6.6 seconds left. Killian Hayes inbounded the ball to Cade Cunningham, but Burks stripped the ball as he tried to drive. Marvin Bagley III led Detroit with 27 points, and Cunningham added 18.

Sidney Crosby, Kasperi Kapanen, Jeff Carter, Teddy Blueger, Danton Heinen, Brian Boyle and recently acquired Rickard Rakell also scored for the Penguins. Pittsburgh needed less than 30 minutes to take a 6-0 lead on its way to the franchise’s first 11-goal game in nearly 30 years.

Scottie Scheffler won the Dell Technologies Match Play for his third title in his last five starts. His climb to No. 1 comes just weeks after his first tour victory. Scheffler never trailed in the final against Kevin Kisner, building a 3-up lead through six holes and giving him no chance to catch up. Scheffler closed him out with a par on the 15th for a 4-and-3 victory. Scheffler also never trailed in the semifinal win over Dustin Johnson on Sunday. In fact, he went the final 57 holes at Austin Country Club without trailing. NASCAR – Chastain has first career win, breaks ice for Trackhouse Racing It was a day of firsts for Ross Chastain and upstart race team Trackhouse Racing. Chastain bumped and banged his way around the final overtime lap at Circuit of the Americas to earn his first career Cup win. It’s also the first victory for Trackhouse Racing, which took over Chastain’s contract after buying out Chip Ganassi Racing. Tyler Reddick had somehow moved to the front in the previous single lap run between the eighth and ninth cautions. Chastain and Allmendinger restarted second and third, just ahead of Alex Bowman. The overtime featured four lead changes, with Chastain and Allmendinger swapping it twice. Chastain decided the race by divebombing inside of Allmendinger, which spun Allmendinger from second to 33rd. Bowman finished second, followed by Christopher Bell, Chase Elliott and Reddick. Soccer – CONCACAF – Pulisic 1st hat trick leads US to 5-1 win, World Cup brink Christian Pulisic scored his first international hat trick, leading the United States to the brink of returning to the World Cup with a 5-1 rout of Panama. Pulisic converted two penalty kicks during a four-goal burst in the first half that also saw Paul Arriola and Jesús Ferreira score, then boosted the lead to 5-0 on memorable goal with two brilliant touches that evaded a pair of defenders. With fans still fretting after the Americans’ failure to reach the 2018 World Cup, the U.S. assumed a commanding position to qualify for this November’s tournament in Qatar. Soccer – CONCACAF – Canada advances to World Cup for first time in 36 years Cyle Larin, Tajon Buchanan and Junior Hoilett scored and Canada secured its first World Cup berth in 36 years with a 4-0 victory over Jamaica on Sunday. Canada has been to the World Cup just once before, in 1986. Canada missed out a chance to secure a spot in Qatar last week against Costa Rica. It was Canada’s first loss in three qualifying rounds and it snapped a six-game winning streak. Boosted by the home crowd at BMO Filed, Canada rebounded against the Jamaicans, who were already eliminated.

In the latest episode of the CanPL.ca Newsroom, the CanPL.ca editorial crew of Kristian Jack, Charlie O'Connor Clarke, Benedict Rhodes, Marty Thompson, and Brady Reid return to recap the weekend's CanPL action but start with the Canadian men's national team's opening win over Martinique at the 2021 Gold Cup. Tajon Buchanan's impressive showing marked a rebound for John Herdman's side who, as the gang debates, are craving any sort of challenge. Kudos also go out to attackers Theo Corbeanu and Junior Hoilett, the latter of which became Canada's all-time assist leader with the win. Up first in CanPL action was Atlético Ottawa's shock 2-0 win over Cavalry FC. Goals from Malcolm Shaw and 17-year-old Antoine Coupland gave coach Mista lots to smile about and gave the gang lots to dissect Ottawa's direct style of play and how it could be the key to results moving forward. Valour FC's 1-0 win over Forge FC also offered lots of talking points from Austin Ricci's worldie to Rob Gale's side's impressive run of form. At the other end, the Newsroom discusses Forge's current state of affairs as the return to home market lingers. Marco Bustos (there, we said it) shined brightly for Pacific FC this weekend and the gang just had to talk about it. His well-worked brace against York United – which came in front of his parents at IG Field – was a thing of beauty. But he wasn't the only star for PFC on the day… Finally, Brady carves out some time for HFX Wanderers FC's 2-1 win over FC Edmonton. Joao Morelli's two-goal output gave the Wanderers their first win of the season – the last team at The Kickoff to achieve such a feat. Marty sheds some light on Morey Doner and one sequence in particular while, again, FC Edmonton only scores beautiful goals, don't they? Take a bow again, Fraser Aird.

Introduction This is the Northern 90 Podcast with Pat Sweet, Episode 9. Welcome to the Northern 90 Canadian Premier League Podcast, covering the beautiful game in the great white north. For more Canadian Premier League content, head over to Northern90.ca. That’s Northern Nine Zero dot ca. Welcome Hello, Canada, and welcome to the Northern 90 Canadian Premier League Podcast! In today’s episode, we're doing something a little bit different. Today, you'll get to hear my very first interviews with some of the founding members of Privateers 1882, the supporters' group that gave up its original name to the club they support - Halifax Wanderers FC. I caught up with the guys at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport to welcome some of the club's new players to the city. The interviews were a lot of fun, I learned a lot, and I get the feeling that this is just the beginning of something much bigger for the show. But before we get to the interviews, let's tackle this week's CPL headlines. News In this week's headlines: Pre-season is officially upon us, with players reporting to their respective clubs for the first time in the last week or so. And while Pacific FC's players are hanging out in picturesque and beautifulTofino, British Columbia, FC Edmonton Coach Jeff Paulus sent his squad to the woodsfor some character building. Check the links in the show notes for the pictures, they're actually very cool, and I'll let you guess which head coach is a former sailor in the Canadian Navy. Earlier this month, the International Football Association Board approved some updates to the rules of the game, including a more precise definition of handball, having subs leave via the nearest boundary, team officials being able to get yellow and red cards, and several others. Additionally, the CanPL will be implementing these new rules this year. Check out the details using the links in the show notes. The latest Canadian Men's National Team call-ups have been announcedfor the final game of the CONCACAF Nations League Qualifying tournament. It's a mix of old and new and is overall very encouraging. You've got your usual suspects, including Cyle Larin, Alphonso Davies, Jonathan Osorio, Junior Hoilett, Atiba Hutchinson... Of note, Will Johnson has been called up for the first time in two years. I'm a big fan of his - as much for his passion and for his playing. And nobody, and I mean nobodydoes the "incredulous" look quite like him. I'll post a good example of that in the show notes for you. Credit: https://twitter.com/jay_riddle/status/997652391293063169[/caption] Finally, members of the CanWNT unveiled the new official national team Nike kitsin an event in France. The home kit is red, and has the Canada Soccer logo on one side, and the Nike logo on the left. The away kit is white with the same logos. I really wish there were more to say about them, but that's literally all that can be said. Pretty uninspired, but that's OK because the CPL's Kurt Larson has promised some really incredible Macron kits for our league when they finally drop - so we'll just have to save our excitement fo then.

Check it out at northern90.ca/join. Next up, wandering around with Privateers 1882 in an airport named after underwear. Interviews with Privateers 1882 This week's episode marks the first interviews I've ever had on the show, and I'm very excited about this. To set the scene, the Privateers 1882 Twitter account announced that Halifax Wanderers players would be landing at the Halifax airport later that week and that people were welcome to come to join them. So, I did what any rational soccer fan would do. I canceled my Friday night plans, bought a portable mic, and made the long drive out to the airport. I caught up with three members of Privateers 1882, including: Garret McPhee Carlos Benites, and James Covey Garret McPhee The first voice you'll hear is from Garret McPhee What struck me about Garret was his passion. He's an absolute wealth of knowledge, not just about the club, but also the history of sport in this province. He's the kind of guy you'd want to buy a pint and just sit and listen to. Garret McPhee: Carlos Benites Carlos and I chatted quite a bit before I started recording He was especially excited about the club's South American signings, not just because he's from Peru, but because his friends and family back home were excited that we were getting players of such quality. Gutierrez and Perea are names that are known. Carlos Benites: James Covey Mr. James Covey is the president of the Privateers 1882 Supporters' Group. I had actually run into James earlier that day at a pizza shop in downtown Dartmouth. You can spot James from a mile away, always sporting his Wanderers ball cap and scarf. James has been instrumental in helping rally support for the club and organized Privateers 1882 into the force that it is. I think you'll hear in the way he speaks just how excited he is about his club and this league materializing before his eyes. James Covey: Thoughts on the way home Something I think you'll hear in all three voices is the excitement, and a certain sense of wonder in all this. It's amazing to see a new club materialize before your eyes, and you can tell just how invested these guys are in the project and its success. I can only imagine that the story is the same throughout the country, with countless people doing their part to bring this project to life and make it a success this year and for years to come. So often, sport is about consumption of what's been created. You watch the games, you buy the gear, you read the stories. But, as James said, this is a unique time in that we're witnessing, and even taking part in, the creation of this new league. And as excited as we all are for things to get off the ground and for the games to start, I think it's important to take a moment and enjoy what we're all involved in right here and now. We're all part of something big here, and that's worth appreciating. What do you think? If you've listened to the show, you know I love to hear from you guys - especially with this being my first episode featuring an interview. I'd love to know what you think of this deal. You can: Leave a comment at northern90.ca/episode9 Write to me at pat at northern90.ca Fire me a note on Twitter @northernninety Next up, the mailbag. Mailbag Some great messages and ideas this week to share with you. Blaise left an excellent comment on the show notes from the last episode. It was pointed out that in my analysis of days of rest per game, I didn't include the Canadian Championship, and that that would likely balance out the pace of the spring and fall halves. While I haven't done the math yet, I suspect Blaise is right on the money with that, so thank you! Ed from Toronto wrote to make some suggestions on different episodes I could do in the future, including supporter group rituals, songs, and mascots, which are all great, so I've added that to my podcast plan. Finally, Fabien (@fabienlloyd) on Twitter made a strong case for the league not being able to start earlier than late April. I made the suggestion in the last episode that at some point the league might consider expanding the season, because if MLS can do it, why can't we. Fabien made the argument that, for the most part, the Canadian teams play away games early on. I'd like to know what you think - could CPL be starting earlier and playing a longer season? Let me know in the show notes or on Twitter. Outroduction That's all we've got for the show today. If you liked the show, don't forget to subscribe to it, and when you do leave an honest review. That helps me make the show better and others find it. Also, if you've been enjoying this show, you should join my supporters' group.
