We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and CONCACAF Champions Cup chat, and we're joined by AFTN writer Felipe Vallejo to do it all this episode. The Whitecaps finally played their first competitive game of 2025, and while the end result of the Champions Cup clash with Saprissa wasn't what they were hoping for down in Costa Rica, there were a lot of positives and and an away goal to take from the tie. We delve into the match, look ahead to the MLS season opener in Portland and hear from 'Caps coach Jesper Sorensen and Timbers boss Phil Neville. As the new MLS season gets underway, we preview what is shaping up to be an interesting and unpredictable Western Conference, with some clear standout teams, some movers and shakers, and some teams that we just don't know what to expect from them yet this season. We cast our eyes over the Whitecaps' 14 Western rivals and bring you a special collaboration piece we did previewing Vancouver themselves on the Soccerwise podcast. All of this, plus former Whitecaps captain Kendall Waston runs through our infamous food segments, Pop Will Eat Itself continue their residency as our Album of the Month and feature again in this episode's Wavelength, there's another Britpop song, and we pay tribute to the recently departed Jam drummer Rick Butler.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and CONCACAF Champions Cup chat and interviews. The wait is almost over, with the first competitive matches of the season coming up thick and fast this week for the Whitecaps in both league and cup action. The 'Caps have added two players to bolster their roster, with another key piece, experienced Mexican forward Daniel Rios, set to join on loan for the season any day now. Are the team ready to go? We chat with 'Caps coach Jesper Sorensen and ask just that, plus talk tactics, transfers, and more in the first of three one-on-one interviews this episode. Our feature interview is spread over two parts, as we sit down with former Whitecaps captain Kendall Waston in an extensive 50-minute interview to chat about his time in Vancouver, his love for the city, his successes here, the truth about his controversial departure, his footballing career and journey, playing at two World Cups, and now facing his former side in Champions Cup action. As if all of those interviews weren't enough, we bring you a third one this episode as we chat with new Whitecaps winger Emmanuel Sabbi for the first time to talk about his move to Vancouver and MLS, his footballing journey so far, what he brings to the team, going up against Jesper Sorensen's sides in Denmark, does he fancy a chocolate digestive, and more.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps and Canadian soccer chat. The Whitecaps' owners dropped the bombshell announcement last week that the club were up for sale. That's naturally led to a lot of questions, concerns, worry, and more for supporters. We're joined by Harjeet Johal to delve into a lot of those questions in this episode, including will the team stay in Vancouver, who might the new owners be, does the lack of their own stadium and tangible assets affect things, what does it mean for the search for a new head coach and more. Plus we hear some thoughts from Whitecaps CEO Axel Schuster about the sale. In happier Whitecaps news, we look at the draw for them and the other Canadian teams in the 2025 CONCACAF Champions Cup and Canadian Championship, which has thrown up some pre-Christmas crackers for the season to come.

Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast presented by Macey's Sports! In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to chat all things awards in a special edition of the show. To start, they talk about one award that a team brought back lately, and that's the Canadian Premier League's North Star Shield, which Langford's Pacific FC won for the first time on Sunday. Despite facing off against the x2 CPL champions, Forge, away, Pacific stood strong and took care of business in the final, and they break that down in this episode. After that, they look at what this win means both for Pacific, as well as the league as a whole, as it changes the landscape of the CPL as teams get set for their 4th season of competition in 2022. Then, they shift their attention over to the other team in BC, the Vancouver Whitecaps, breaking down their latest roster moves, seeing what they could mean for the 'Caps team this offseason. Continuing that, they then dive into a yearly tradition on the show - their 2021 end-of-year awards, as they give out some hardware after a year to remember for the Whitecaps. The awards up for grabs include: MVP Rookie of the Year Unsung Hero Defender of the Year Shea Salinas Departure of the Year Robert Earnshaw Third Sub of the Year Eric Hassli Goal of the Year Alphonso Davies most promising player Kendall Waston most improved player Game of the Year Lastly, but most certainly not least, they look at the news that the Whitecaps will be getting a 2nd team back (sort of), thanks to the creation of MLS Next Pro, the newest MLS U23 reserve league, giving teams like the 'Caps another option to give youngsters minutes.

No football. No problem. The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out and not only is it as packed as usual, it's also one of our longest ever episodes. We'll leave that up to you to decide if that's a good thing or not! Global football has ground to a halt, but not in Belarus! We look at the latest coming from some of the leagues and governing bodies around the world as to what directions they're looking at taking when games can return and we pick our new favourite team to follow, FK Slutsk of the Belarusian Premier League. We chat with Vancouver Whitecaps CEO Mark Pannes to discuss how the Whitecaps and MLS have been handling the latest crisis, we check in with Whitecaps striker Lucas Cavallini to see how his family are dealing with everything right now and talk about the season so far, and we get on a conference call with former fan favourite Kendall Waston to see how life is treating him down in Cincinnati. This break could actually prove to be very beneficial to the Whitecaps as it lets them get all their players fit, healthy, and up to speed. 'Caps coach Marc Dos Santos joins us to chat about that, the season so far, whether the current situation affects any summer transfer plans, and he gives us an insight into what his new daily routine looks like. We also sit down with FC Edmonton head coach Jeff Paulus for a detailed and in-depth chat about the first Canadian Premier League season, the growth of the game in Canada, how the Eddies have built their squad this year, and much more.

It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, and Vancouver Whitecaps are fully embracing the gift of giving sending players all over the place in MLS. We look at the big Whitecaps news of the week as Kei Kamara, Kendall Waston, Erik Hurtado head to pastures new, Andy Rose comes in, and the 'Caps squad has lost 18 of the 31 players that were part of the MLS squad this year, with more likely.

Welcome back soccer fans! Did you enjoy the MLS Cup? The hosts of Sons of a Pitch: An American Soccer Podcast give their take on one of the most meaningful MLS Cup Finals in league history. With Atlanta United's 2-0 victory over the Portland Timbers, and the last 4 MLS Cup Champions being expansion teams, there is a clear message to owners and managers what is needed to build a contender. Tune in for Nick and Mike's thoughts and where the league is going, and whether we are witnessing MLS 3.0. Also, the hosts discuss the idea of league parity and whether league imposed rules should be lifted. Next, the podcast takes a look at the latest transfer news. Big names have moved - Zack Steffen to Manchester City, Maxi Urruti to Montreal Impact, Caleb Porter to coach a returning Zlatan Ibrahimovic and the LA Galaxy. How does this shape the teams, and was the value of the player worth the deal? Finally, the hosts review FC Cincinnati's expansion draft picks and transfers. The big news being the expansion side's acquisition of Greg Garza from Atlanta, along with Kendall Waston, Darren Mattocks, Kei Kamara, Roland Lamah, Eric Alexander, and Hassan Ndam. Has FCC built an immediate contender or will they need a few seasons to compete for hardware? Finally, congratulations to our bracket challenge winner, Greg, with his entry: My Loons Suck. Surprisingly, Greg was our only entrant who picked Atlanta United to win the MLS Cup. Greg: Email us your information so Mike can send your prize!   As we enter the offseason, let us know what topics you'd like covered and be sure to follow us @SOPSoccer. Thanks for listening!

Kendall Waston repeats that he won't be back with the Whitecaps, citing "two-faced people" and "if you don't feel safe in your house, what are you going to do?"

It's the end of the season and the end of an, albeit short, era as Vancouver Whitecaps 2018 MLS season came to an end on Sunday and Alphonso Davies said goodbye to the club, the fans, and the city as he gets set to head off to Europe to join Bayern Munich. We look back at the emotional day that was but also the frustration that was left behind with the final standings that saw the 'Caps finish just two points, and one win, away from a playoff spot. How close were Vancouver in reality and does the squad need a complete rebuild or build around a current core when the new manager comes in? We look at all that and more, and ponder which other players we may have seen for the last time. We also sit down with Alphonso Davies to talk about his three years with the Whitecaps and relive some memories with him of his time in Vancouver. Plus we chat with Jordon Mutch about the ups and downs of his first season in MLS and hear from young homegrown player Simon Colyn after his MLS debut. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:03.15: Vancouver Whitecaps chat - the Portland game, frustrations at just missing playoffs, pressure on new coach, what excites fans for next year54.32: Alphonso Davies interview and discussion77.50: Which players will be back, including Kendall Waston chat86.21: Jordon Mutch interview and discussion95.47: Simon Colyn scrum and young player discussion102.35: Wavelength - Los Campesinos - Every Defeat A Divorce (Three Lions)109.40: BC Soccerweb headlines - a look at some stories from around the football world

Kristian Jack recaps the Whitecaps' season & looks ahead to the future of Alphonso Davies in the German Bundesliga. Will he crack the Munich squad in his first season? KJ breaks it all down. He also gives his take on the Kendall Waston rumors swirling around the club.

This week on the show we're joined by the Vancouver Whitecap Russell Teibert to talk about his season and what's next for the Vancouver Whitecaps. We also talk about the Whitecaps' final match of the year, which will be the very last in a Whitecaps kit for Alphonso Davies before he officially moves to Bayern Munich. There's also plenty of other discussion including Kendall Waston wanting out of Vancouver, why Fredy Montero leaving wasn't a big deal and why Jorge figures he has what it takes to become the Whitecaps new manager.

Nos hemos tardado pero aqui estoy de regreso y que entrevista tengo para ustedes. Capitan de su equipo en MLS, idolo en la selección de Costa Rica, anotador de un gol en Mundial de Rusia 2018, bueno, que mas puedo decir del defensor tico de los Vancouver Whitecaps, Kendall Waston? Kendall y yo platicamos después de un entrenamiento aquí en Vancouver y charlamos de diferentes temas como el inicio complicado de su carrera, que significa para el ser capitan, su experiencia en Rusia 2018, de su futuro y de una de sus pasiones fuera de la canchas.

It's been an eventful week for Vancouver Whitecaps, albeit not the kind of headlines the club would be hoping they'd be making at this point of the season. Carl Robinson's departure was a look to the future for the 'Caps, but if anyone thought it was going to have an immediate impact on the present, Saturday's loss to the LA Galaxy quickly dispelled those thoughts. We look back on the week that was, talking some more about Robbo's release and who the prime candidates are to take over from him. Marc Dos Santos may be the standout name at the top of many people's lists, but who else is in the frame? And what identity will that see the 'Caps with moving forward? We also pick over the bones of the loss in LA, hear from both interim head coaches, and bring you Zlatan Ibrahimovic's view on Alphonso Davies heading to Bayern Munich. The playoffs are still a mathematical possibility, but it's one tricky equation to make that happen. All this, plus we look at what Robbo's departure will mean to some of the current squad, play you Kendall Waston's thoughts on it all, and English punk poet Patrik Fitzgerald features in this week's Wavelength. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:03.05: Robbo's firing and the state of the Whitecaps FO40.55: Whitecaps' coaching candidates58.59: LA Galaxy v Vancouver Whitecaps analysis65.31: Craig Dalrymple audio - 69.27: More Galaxy v Whitecaps analysis77.08: Whitecaps player chat - present and future81.06: Kendall Waston scrum post-Robbo firing and discussion96.12: Zlatan Ibrahimovic talks Alphonso Davies105.36: Wavelength - Patrik Fitzgerald - No Fun Football111.32: BC Soccerweb headlines - a look at some stories from around the football world

From the highs of Portland to the lows of Toronto. It had been a busy and mixed few days for Vancouver Whitecaps. A lot of ups and a lot of downs, so it was perhaps only expected that we got both of those in the 'Caps 2-2 draw with New York Red Bulls on Saturday. Depending on your glass half full/empty attitude to the 'Caps this season, this was either a battling point against one of the best teams in MLS this year, or two crucial points blown by an avoidable late goal. We take a look back at the match and hear from both head coaches. Coming out of the draw, and with the West looking tight but also close to getting away from the Whitecaps, we look a bit further ahead and look at the future of some players and coaches, and look yet again at the team's current defensive woes. All this, plus we hear from Tim Parker on his return to B.C. Place, talk about the mess the Vancouver Southsiders find themselves in after their recent statement about Kendall Waston, look at the weekend's action around MLS West, and Section 5 feature in this week's Wavelength. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:02.11: Vancouver Whitecaps v New York Red Bulls match analysis26.24: Coaches audio - Carl Robinson and Chris Armas33.44: The future of some Whitecaps players and coaches49.21: The Whitecaps defensive woes (again)63.13: Tim Parker interview and discussion73.22: Tim Parker Ice Cream Man75.34: The Southsiders find themselves in a hole94.07: Wavelength - Section 5 - Every Saturday98.25: MLS West week in review109.30: BC Soccerweb headlines - a look at some stories from around the football world

Vancouver Whitecaps must be wishing that the World Cup "break" was still going on. I know we do! Two defeats in two matches against two lowly teams has derailed all the good work done before the break and put the Whitecaps playoff hopes very much in trouble as they slip further behind in the points per game standings. We look back at Vancouver's Canada Day defeat at home to Colorado Rapids. What went wrong? How much of it was on the 'Caps and how much was down to the play of the visitors? And where does the team go from here? We also hear from both head coaches, Colorado's Anthony Hudson and Vancouver's Carl Robinson, plus we speak with Tim Howard, who had a lot to say about Vancouver fans and MLS security after the game. We also look back at what came out of the Whitecaps Town Hall meeting midweek and chat about a fantastic week of World Cup action and what lies ahead. Plus our exclusive chat with Kendall Waston upon his return from Russia after an eventful tournament with Costa Rica. Plus we take great joy at wallowing in Zach's German gloom and play one of the worst World Cup songs of all time, and that's saying something! We also bring you a double dose of Wavelength this week featuring Bell and Sebastian and Halftime Oranges.

Woo hoo! It turns out that very, very occasionally you can write off the Germans, and we at the Football Ramble are happy to embrace this opportunity mere hours before they play FIFA's third-ranked team. Hubris. Mitro's on Newcastle United form rather than Fulham's – basically on the wrong kind of fire. Brazil showed their cupboard of pristine cogs and gears to the world, and Marcus doesn't want to talk about Felipe Baloy.

With the Whitecaps off on a bye week, the AFTN crew are gripped by World Cup fever this week, as we look at the current tournament in Russia and celebrate the future one coming to North America in 2026. We kick things off with big news of the week for Canadian fans and that is the successful bid to bring the 2026 World Cup to North American shores. Not Vancouver, but we can still rejoice right? Plus we talk World Cup memories and hopes, and look through some old Panini sticker albums, with Kendall Waston (Costa Rica), Efrain Juarez (Mexico), Aly Ghazal (Egypt), and Anibal Godoy and Harold Cummings (Panama). Plus we can't leave Scotland out, so their 1982 World Cup squad sing their hearts out in this week's Wavelength section.

Vancouver Whitecaps are only two more draws away from equaling the MLS record of six straight games sharing the points. Three more and they set a new record. Come on boys, you can do it. Let's go out there and make some history! There's every chance they'll inch closer to it on Friday when they travel to the Rocky Mountain state, not for chocolate covered cravings but to take on Colorado Rapids in MLS action. The Rapids are bad this year. If the Whitecaps can't beat them, do they deserve to even make it to the playoffs? Joe, Nick, and Gideon ponder that question, plus look at the dangers Colorado pose to the Vancouver defence, and the dangers Tim Howard poses to his own one. Who will win the golden ticket in this week's Whitecaps rotation lottery? Has Kei Kamara put his misses behind him or will we see him drop to the bench this week? And who steps up to fill Kendall Waston's huge shoes in the centre of the 'Caps defence? All this plus Do You Know Who I Am? and our prediction game in our latest episode. Have a listen!

MLS Insider Kristian Jack says that Kendall Waston is a true leader. Jack feels Waston is the kind of player that makes his defensive partner better consistently. Jack also talks Ibrahimović in LALA land.

It's good to have constants in your life, right? When a weakened team comes to B.C. Place, Vancouver Whitecaps fail to rise to the occasion seems to be one of those, and it was the same again on Saturday night when a highly depleted LA Galaxy side came and left with a point in a 0-0 draw. We pick over the bones of that game and individual performances, and hear from Galaxy head coach Sigi Schmid and 'Caps coach Carl Robinson. Plus we look back at the Whitecaps report card on the squad four games in. Turning our attention to the 'Caps defence, we discuss the overturning of Kendall Waston's red card, sit down for a chat with Uruguayan centre back Jose Aja about his move to Vancouver and how he's settling in, and we find out if Aaron Maund fancies a chocolate digestive. All this plus we chat with Canada national team and LAFC midfielder Mark-Anthony Kaye, look at the week's action in MLS West, discuss MLS derbies, look at some of the stories making the news around the world, and Half Man Half Biscuit are back in this week's Wavelength section. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:02.25: Whitecaps v Galaxy Match In Review17.51: Sigi Schmid and Carl Robinson audio24.10: Whitecaps v Galaxy chat on players42.07: Whitecaps Report Card so far54.10: Kendall Waston red card rescinded56.05: Jose Aja interview and discussion66.51: Anyone Fancy A Chocolate Digestive? - Aaron Maund69.02: MLS West Week In Review74.24: MLS derbies chat featuring Sigi Schmid82.36: Mark-Anthony Kaye interview and discussion92.14: Canada v New Zealand chat95.31: BC Soccerweb headlines110.35: Wavelength - Half Man Half Biscuit - Bob Wilson, Anchorman

Kendall Waston was given a red card in the 14th minute which led to a Josef Martinez penalty kick. From there, Atlanta never looked back beating the Whitecaps 4-1.

We're two weeks away from the start of the new MLS season, the excitement is building but is there optimism or concern amongst the Vancouver Whitecaps fanbase? What do you think?! There's two more preseason matches in the books, we take a look back at what, if anything, we can take from those and we sit down for chats with the 'Caps two defensive rocks - Kendall Waston and Tim Parker. And there's still time for Kei Kamara to talk about his favourite season, David Norman Jr to tell us if he fancies a chocolate digestive, look at some other football news from around world, and The Pogues and The Dubliners feature in this week's Wavelength section.

Kendall Waston expands the Whitecaps lead to 3-0 on San Jose.

The ups and downs of Vancouver Whitecaps' season have been on full display over the past two games. In true Forrest Gump style, you simply do not know what you're going to get from them, apart from perhaps not that much satisfaction in their performance. We look back at the 'Caps capitulation against New York Red Bulls, and hear from both head coaches, Vancouver's Carl Robinson and New York's Jesse Marsch. What was behind the Whitecaps formation and performance? Did anyone stand out? Can we read much into how things played out? We also look ahead to next weekend's match up with San Jose, how the MLS West might play out, and talk World Cup qualifiers and Kendall Waston's big night. And there's still time to chat with Robert Earnshaw about his favourite season and talk take out food with Jordan Harvey.

What a week in Whitecapsland! It started with a horror show Cascadia derby defeat in Seattle, was followed by a smash and grab victory in Kansas City, and ended with Vancouver Whitecaps clinching a playoff spot and needing just three more points from their remaining games to grab a first round bye. We look back at both matches, standout players, the Whitecaps tactics and hear from Vancouver head coach Carl Robinson and his Sporting KC counterpart Peter Vermes. We also turn our attention to the upcoming World Cup qualifiers with some international Whitecaps, as we talk Costa Rica with Kendall Waston, and New Zealand with Stefan Marinovic and Deklan Wynne. And there's still time to look at the death throes of WFC2, talk fish and chips with Robert Earnshaw, chat with Jordan Harvey about his favourite season, and have The Fall return for this week's Wavelength section. Here's the full episode rundown:02.29: Sporting KC v Vancouver review and analysis15.10: Carl Robinson and Peter Vermes postgame audio21.07: Sporting KC v Vancouver standout players25.17: Seattle v Vancouver - a quick post mortem30.30: Analysing the Whitecaps tactics44.20: Robert Earnshaw on Fish and Chips46.38: World Cup Whitecaps52.01: Kendall Waston interview and Costa Rica chat56.31: Stefan Marinovic and Deklan Wynne interviews, and New Zealand chat70.57: Jordan Harvey's favourite season75.26: BC Soccer Web headlines86.52: Wavelength - The Fall91.46: The future death of WFC2 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.

Vancouver Whitecaps are still top of the West, with five games remaining. With four of those matches on the road, the 'Caps will need to be at their best to stay there and it gets off to a tricky start with a trip to Seattle on Wednesday evening. We preview that match with Radio Cascadia's Steven Agen. Can the 'Caps extend their unbeaten run to eight? Are the Sounders slumping? How will Fredy Montero be received? All this and a lot more Cascadia Cup chat. We also hear from Fredy Montero himself about heading back to his old haunts, plus Carl Robinson, David Ousted, and Jordan Harvey chat to us about how the 'Caps need to approach this season run-in against their closest challengers. We also look back at Saturday's win over Colorado Rapids and hear from both head coaches, and chat with Kendall Waston about his season so far. Due to some technical issues stationwide at CiTR radio, the podcast of Sunday's AFTN Soccer Show will not be available for a couple of days. As such we've used some of the audio from Sunday's show with newly recorded links inbetween them. We'll be bringing out a specially edited version of Sunday's show now later in the week (as Episode 222) and add in some post Seattle stuff, so watch you podcast feeds for that.

TSN analyst Terry Dunfield says the Whitecaps need to build off a big win in Dallas, and getting healthy is a huge part of why that happened. Terry says having Kendall Waston back solidifies the backend, one can see Fredy Montero gaining confidence, and the full roster makes the Caps better off the bench too. Terry sees the Caps as a playoff team once the dust settles at season end.

Pete Schaad isn’t sure what to make of the Whitecaps 4-0 loss to Chicago, but suggests the return of a number of players and the absence of Kendall Waston has left the Whitecaps in a bit of disarray as they try to figure out which lineup works. Pete says the Whitecaps should have the talent to be a playoff team, but simply can’t afford to drop more points at home

It's international week all over the football world and we're no different on the AFTN Soccer Show, as we bring you a special internationally themed episode. There's a few 'Caps away representing their country on international duty this week, with perhaps the most important games coming up for the Whitecaps two Costa Ricans, Kendall Waston and Christian Bolanos. We speak to both of them ahead of a busy week that could see the Ticos qualify for another World Cup. Waston tells us [at 05:11 mark] what qualification for Russia would mean for him personally, the task ahead, and just how good this current crop of Costa Ricans are, while Bolanos [09:54] looks ahead to whether or not he'll head to the Gold Cup with the team in July. Moving on to Canada, we hear from an injured Whitecap who sadly can't be at the Gold Cup with Canada this summer, David Edgar, [13:37] who chats with us about his injury, when we might see him back on the pitch, life as a colour commentator, the Gold Cup, and the Canadian Premier League. From a Canadian national team veteran to the team's newest recruit, Alphonso Davies, [23:14] as he chats with Harjeet Johal about what playing for Canada means to him, his meteoric rise, what his family have meant to his career, and more. And we wrap the show up with a Canadian Hall of Famer, the newest recruit in fact, Paul Stalteri, [30:21] who chats about his career, the future of the game here, and a 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!

It's certainly been an interesting eight days in Whitecapsland, covering a gamut of emotions. We kick things off with a look back at the 'Caps win over Atlanta, thanks to a two goal Man of the Match performance from Kendall Waston. We chat about how the match played out, who shone, and is this 4-1-4-1 formation now set in stone due to the success it's been having. We also pay a visit to the Atlanta locker room and hear the postgame thoughts [at 23:27] from Greg Garza, Michael Parkhurst, and Tyrone Mears, the latter of who also chats about his family being caught up in the Manchester bombing. Sadly it's not all been good news for the 'Caps after crashing out of this year's Canadian Championship at the first hurdle. We look back at the loss in Montreal [37:31], wonder how seriously the club took it this year, and what it means in terms of money and playing time in the future. Our player interview this week is with the Whitecaps new Australian winger Bernie Ibini [73:27], and there's still time to look at which Whitecaps may head out on loan, this week's Twitter faux pas by the 'Caps, WFC2, and a lot more, including Vanilla Muffins featuring in this week's Wavelength section [84:43].

Kendall Waston scores twice in a 3-1 Whitecaps win over Atlanta

Whitecaps voice Pete Schaad says Cristian Techera is showing his 2015 form, and that’s been a key bounceback for the Caps. Pete also says Christian Bolanos has played important minutes for a well-rounded Caps team. And Pete says Kendall Waston has clearly stepped up in a leadership role this

With D.C. United's first midweek game of the season coming up this week, we have a jam-packed episode; we also have to do it without the services of Adam, who is off on assignment. In his stead, Jason and Ben break down D.C. United's 1-0 victory over the Vancouver Whitecaps, including starting off by talking about Jose Ortiz's embellishment and Kendall Waston's role in all of it. We also talk about Bill Hamid's penalty and how bad the Whitecaps were in front of goal. We end this segment by breaking down how good Bill Hamid was and how good Ian Harkes was. We then move on to talk about tomorrow's game against Orlando City SC, including how poor they've looked since their great start. We talk about how Cyle Larin and Carlos Rivas run the show, how much rotation they may have to do, and who might start up top for United. For the final segment, we bring back one of our favorite guests, Josie Becker, to talk LA Galaxy. We get into how much better the team is without Jermaine Jones, whether or not Curt Onalfo can keep him on the bench, and how Romain Alessandrini has changed the team. We also ask Josie to gameplan the Galaxy for us, all in-between jokes about British accents and Scientology. Give it a listen! We are also launching the Filibuster Patreon(https://patreon.com/filibuster) today, so go take a look at the things that we want to do and the benefits you could acquire. This show as it is won't be going anywhere, but we really want to be able to take it to the next level, which we can only do with your support. Thanks!

Four days, two matches, two different competitions, two defeats. That's been Vancouver Whitecaps' week, but the performances and circumstances of the games against San Jose Earthquakes and Tigres in the 'Volcano' were very different natural disasters. The 'Caps battled hard against a much better Tigres side in Mexico on Tuesday night, coming away with just a two goal deficit and are still very much in their CONCACAF Champions League semi-final. We look back at the game, the performances, and the strange feeling of coming away from a game that we expected the team to do much worse in but being disappointed with how things ultimately played out. 'Caps coach Carl Robinson gave us a call just before he headed home from Mexico to chat about the game and what may lie in store in the second leg (00:16:23 mark). There were some good defensive displays in Mexico, especially from Kendall Waston and David Ousted. But where was that in San Jose? Can they produce that every week in MLS? San Jose was a mess. We look at the great start, the turning point of Ousted's sending off, and the subsequent defensive collapse, posing the question what future does Kekuta Manneh have with this team if he can't add a better defensive side to his game and what could the 'Caps get for him if they decided to put him up for a trade? Our player interview this week is with one of the Whitecaps most recent additions, Brek Shea (00:49:48). We sit down with Brek to talk about his career, moving to Vancouver, and life off the pitch. We found it an interesting chat and we're sure you will too. And there's still time to bring you Tim Parker's footballing bucket list (01:16:17). Have a listen.

Marc Weber and Patrick Johnston are back. Pedro Morales, Octavio Rivero and Kendall Waston are not.

June is very much a feast of football. There's the Euros, Copa America, the Canadian Championship, MLS and USL matches to enjoy. So many games to watch, so little time. We cover all those competitions in our latest podcast and we kick things off with Vancouver Whitecaps. They've got it all to do in their semi-final second leg against Ottawa Fury, heading in to the game with a two goal deficit on the back of a pretty horrible performance for the most part. We hear from 'Caps coach Carl Robinson, who tells us what winning the Voyageurs Cup meant and means to him and the club, and we chat with one of the Whitecaps who came away with praise from last week's loss, debutant centre back Cole Seiler, about that game, making his first team debut, his own development and the USL season so far. There's a lot of Vancouver connections with the Ottawa side and one of them is current Fury goalkeeping coach, and former Whitecaps NASL 'keeper and Soccer Bowl winner, Bruce Grobbelaar. We dig into the AFTN vaults for our chat with Bruce from back in 2012. It may be four years old, and things may have changed for him, but it's a fascinating chat with the legend and well worth hearing again as he talks about his time in Vancouver, Liverpool and Zimbabwe and we look at everything from his wobbly legs to his European success and Hillsborough. And there's still time to look at Kendall Waston's sending off at Copa America and ahead to the Euros, which get underway this week. Carl Robinson will be cheering on Wales and he chats about what qualifying for their first major tournament since 1958 means for the country and the massive steps Wales have taken to improve the game there. Canada (and Scotland) take note! There's a lot of chat to be had, so have a listen!

Another Saturday, another Vancouver Whitecaps sending off, another game where Carl Robinson and everyone else is sick of talking about referees, oh and a second half fight back to claim a point. It was an eventful game against a managerless Houston Dynamo side. We pick over the bones, then throw them at referee Drew Fischer, as we look back over the main talking points from the match - the goals, the defensive breakdowns, the world class saves, the red cards. So much to say, so little time. We hear from both coaches, Vancouver's Carl Robinson and Houston caretaker Wade Barrett, about those talking points and venture into the Dynamo dressing room to hear from goalscorer DaMarcus Beasley, goalkeeper Tyler Deric and defender Sheanon Williams about Houston's turbulent week and what the team needs to do to start climbing the table. And there's still time to hear from Kendall Waston about his red card last week in Portland, look at the Whitecaps' disciplinary problems, the CONCACAF Champions League draw, the Crystal Palace friendly and what the line-up might look like in this week's Canadian Championship first leg in Ottawa. There's a lot of chat to be had, so have a listen!

Soccer Talk with Tyler Green and Simon Fudge is back for the January 24th edition - presented by Metrotown Orthopedic & Sports Physiotherapy, as they broadcast from the Barber and Co. studios. On this episode, Tyler and Simon discuss Whitecaps FC's signing of Costa Rican international Christian Bolanos and where he fits in as the 'Caps open training camp.  Plus we'll hear from the Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson along with David Ousted, Pedro Morales, Jordan Harvey, Kendall Waston, Kekuta Manneh, among others.  All that and the latest from around MLS on the January 24th version of Soccer Talk!

Ho Ho Ho everyone! It wouldn't be Christmas without AFTN's Christmas Special podcast and aptly, we have a veritable cracker in store for you this year. There's a lot of magical things about Christmas, but let's be honest, the best part is the presents! And if they're football related pressies, then all the better! I'm sure we've all had a few over the years. Vancouver Whitecaps players and managers certainly have and there's some they'd still like to get this year as Carl Robinson, Alan Koch, Kendall Waston, Tim Parker, Pa Modou Kah, Kekuta Manneh, Pedro Morales, Mauro Rosales and Octavio Rivero share with us. Also in the show, Kekuta tells us about the first pair of proper football boots he ever received, Robbo talks Boxing Day games back in blighty, and Mauro and WFC2 player Victor Blasco tell us what Christmas is like in Argentina and Spain. And no special podcast would be complete without hearing what Pedro and Mauro's favourite jam is! Have a listen!

The hours are slowly, very slowly, ticking down until Sunday's Western Conference semi-final second leg between Vancouver Whitecaps and Portland Timbers. So let AFTN help you kill some time while you're waiting for kick off with all the pregame build up you need for the clash between the Cascadian rivals. We hear from both coaches, Vancouver's Carl Robinson and Portland's Caleb Porter, ahead of the game. What did they learn from last week's first leg? Who's fit and ready to go? And can there be any surprises between two teams that know each other so well? Robbo also chats to us about the excitement of knockout Cup ties throughout his career and shares his thoughts on two legged semi-final series. One of the men who looks fit, ready and raring to go is Whitecaps captain Pedro Morales and he updates us on how he's feeling with less than two days to go. But one player who is definitely ruled out of Sunday's game is Vancouver centre back Pa Modou Kah. We sit down with the Gambian for a lengthy chat about his first season with the 'Caps and his current injury status. Kah talks about making the move and settling into Vancouver, his fellow centre backs Kendall Waston and Tim Parker, what he brings to the locker rooms, his recent gift of rings to all staff, his future plans and more. We also hear from Robbo on his veteran defender and what he feels he brings to the Whitecaps, whether he's playing or not. And there's still time to hear from Morales and Kekuta Manneh about their favourite jam. Have a listen!

Tyler Green and Simon Fudge break down what Vancouver Whitecaps FC need to do in order to get past Portland Timbers in the 2nd leg of their MLS playoff match-up.  Hear from Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson and players Kendall Waston and David Ousted and also Timbers head coach Caleb Porter on this edition of Soccer Talk.

It could be some week for Vancouver Whitecaps. Saturday saw the team bolster their MLS playoff hopes with a huge win over Dallas and they'll follow that up on Wednesday with the Canadian Championship Final second leg at home to Montreal Impact. We look back at the 'Caps 1-0 win over Dallas. A win that temporarily saw them move back into first place in the Supporters' Shield race. There's the highs, the lows and we hear from both head coaches after the match, Vancouver's Carl Robinson and an exclusive chat with Dallas' Oscar Pareja. Still in the Dallas locker room, we have one on one chats with defender Matt Hedges and debutant goalkeeper Jesse Gonzalez, and the Texans' Canadian Rookie of the Year, Tesho Akindele, talks about the game, his own personal season, his decision to pledge his international future to Canada and the recent Gold Cup. It was the Whitecaps' 10th clean sheet of the season and one of the key men behind that stat is centre back Kendall Waston. We hear from the big man about the win, the 'Caps defence and look ahead to Wednesday's Voyageurs Cup final with Montreal and the possibility of Waston playing against Didier Drogba. And there's still time to preview Wednesday's big Cup Final. Will the Whitecaps finally break the curse? We'll soon find out. Have a listen!

Ladies and gentlemen, a big hand for your MLS leading Vancouver Whitecaps. Five games in and top of the pile. A very happy Easter indeed. Eggscellent you could say. But enough of the yolks, it's episode 104 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN podcast and it's our LA postgame show. We look back over the Whitecaps' masterful performance with the help of special guest Harjeet Johal. Who stood out? Who had more ball touches than Diego Rodriguez? When will Octavio Rivero be heading for the English Premiership? How jealous are TFC fans of the 'Caps start? All that and much more. We also hear the postgame thoughts from both coaches, Vancouver's Carl Robinson and LA's Bruce Arena, and there audio galore from both locker rooms. From the joyous Whitecaps, we hear from clean sheet merchant David Ousted, stellar defender Kendall Waston, goalscorer Kekuta Manneh and El Capitan Pedro Morales. And what would a post LA game podcast be without hearing from the man that is Mr Soundbite himself, Robbie Keane?! The Irish striker doesn't let us down again and we also hear from a very down sounding AJ DeLaGarza and the man who would be Zorro, Gyasi Zardes. And there's still time to look ahead to Wednesday's game against Columbus and how WFC2 have fared in the USL season so far. Have a listen!

Episode 83 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer podcast, is a post playoff clinching special! It's been some three weeks for the Whitecaps with a unique treble of the Cascadia Cup, a Champions League spot and now a playoff place, kicking off against Dallas on Wednesday. We look back at the win against Colorado that got them there and the challenge ahead posed by Dallas. There's postgame audio from a jubilant Whitecaps locker room as we hear from coach Carl Robinson, goalscorer Kendall Waston, goalkeeper David Ousted and young homegrown star Sam Adekugbe. The Whitecaps headed down to Texas by a charter flight on Monday morning and we were at the airport to get the latest thoughts from Robinson, Ousted, Jordan Harvey, Andy O'Brien and Russell Teibert. Have a listen!

Episode 81 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer podcast, is a Vancouver Whitecaps v FC Dallas postgame show. We pick over the bones of the 'Caps back to back home wins, that leaves them still with a narrow one point lead over Portland in the battle for the last playoff place in the West. There's locker room audio from Whitecaps head coach Carl Robinson, David Ousted, Sebastian Fernandez, Kendall Waston and Mauro Rosales, along with Dallas head coach Oscar Pareja. And there's still time for some Whitecaps news and notes, as we chew the fat on Omar Salgado, USL PRO, Russell Teibert and the Canadian men's national team, and the Whitecaps Residency.
