Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the NBA draft, where the Wolves took 18-year-old French big man Joan Beringer with the 17th pick of the first round.

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. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.36: Intro - a cursed episode, the end of the lucky hat, and Club World Cup ticket prices slashed 09.28: VFC derby chaos as CPL refs take centre stage again 25.12: Heartbreak and humiliation for Whitecaps in Champions Cup final loss to Cruz Azul 59.25: Michael's trip to Mexico City - the highlights and lowlights 87.25: Will heavy final defeat affect Whitecaps' psyche? 96.33: Whitecaps hit by gastrointestinal illness following return from Mexico 121.40: Dayne St Clair interview 139.27: Michael Boxall interview 153.30: Giuseppe Bovalina interview 164.30: Jesse Marsch talks Canada's development pathway and the role of League1 172.20: Wavelength - Armchair Loyal - Chairman of the Bored

This weekend there was a concentration of Minnesota teams on the West Coast. The Twins lost their series in Seattle while Minnesota United won in that same city. The Lynx won their game in San Francisco against the WNBA's newest team, the Golden State Valkyries. The Twins, Loons and Lynx will all be at home for their next games. Our sports contributors Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson joined Minnesota Now to tell us what to expect.

We take a look at the late night mid-week draw against Vancouver that was tough to stay awake for, then we'll revel in the first point (and we got three!) the Loons have ever earned in Seattle. And we salute all the women's professional teams in Minnesota that keep showing us how to deliver wins and championships.    (6:56) Loon or Loonlet Trivia (12:30) Quick Hits (28:28) Vancouver Whitecaps Recap (40:47) Seattle Sounders Recap (1:03:50) Loon Droppings   ------------------   BlueSky: @loonybinpodcast.bsky.social Dan Elias (@oyvey2you.bsky.social) Matt Leaf (@mnloonlet.bsky.social) Email: theloonybinpod@gmail.com Website: theloonybinpod.com.  Insta: instagram.com/theloonybinpod YouTube: youtube.com/@loonybinpodcast

On this week's episode of the Sounders FC Pod-Cast, host Steve Zakuani recaps what could be shaping up to be a nine-point week for the Seattle Sounders. First, a solid win over FC Dallas last weekend, followed by a grind-it-out victory over San Diego FC on Wednesday, which saw Jesus Ferreira open his scoring bank account for the first time in a Rave Green jersey. The schedule doesn't get easier: Steve looks ahead to a tough home matchup against third-place Minnesota United (kickoff 3pm on Sunday at Lumen Field) before the Sounders hit the road to face Western Conference table-leading Vancouver Whitecaps on June 8th.And keep tuning in from there, as Steve is joined by our Change Champions representative, Elvin Bucu, Senior Director of Development from Foundation for Tacoma Students to learn more about the great work him and his team do for the community. 

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and CONCACAF Champions Cup chat and interviews. The Whitecaps got the last of their league business done and dusted on Wednesday night in an uneventful 0-0 draw with Minnesota United and now their full attention can turn to Sunday's Champions Cup final against Cruz Azul down in Mexico City. We pick over the bones of a Minnesota match that didn't bring the fireworks a top of the table clash would perhaps usually bring, before we also turn our attention to the final. What threat do the Mexicans pose, who are their dangermen, and how has their season been? We delve into all of that and get some thoughts from Whitecaps head coach Jesper Sorensen and Canadian men's national team head coach Jesse Marsch about the final. We've a slew of interviews for you this episode. First up is Whitecaps winger Jayden Nelson. We chat with Jayden about Sunday's final, his first season with the 'Caps, and his return to the national team for the upcoming Canadian Shield and Gold Cup matches. Next up is a chat with Whitecaps striker Daniel Rios. The Mexican's experience will be crucial as they look to secure a historic victory over Cruz Azul and we chat with Daniel about the match, football in Mexico, and what brought him to Vancouver. We also chat with MLS 360 host Kevin Egan about the Cruz Azul match and the Whitecaps season so far. What has he made of them, what does he feel are their chances in the final, and how important is this tournament to MLS in global terms? All of this plus music-wise Scottish band Baby Chaos wrap up their residency as our Album of the Month, and we've a Spanish language Wavelength song!

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Wolves' 117-93 win over Golden State in Game 2 on Thursday. They could afford to cruise a little in that win because of Steph Curry's absence. They will need more gas in Games 3 and 4 in Golden State if they want to lock down a series in which they are the decided favorites. Plus the Twins won their fifth in a row, with Byron Buxton continuing to play at an elite level. 9:00: Jon Marthaler joins Rand to talk Minnesota United soccer. The Loons are slated to play Inter Miami on Saturday at Allianz Field. Will Lionel Messi be in Miami's lineup? 25:00: Ben Goessling reports that the Vikings are "likely" to play back-to-back international games this year in Dublin and London.

Introduction: Host Michael Rand starts with the Twins, who have put together a 10-5 stretch after their awful 7-15 start. We've been focused on a lot of other things, but maybe the baseball team is starting to find its identity. 6:00: La Velle E. Neal III joins Rand for the Daily Delivery debate on three subjects: Panic time for the Wolves; offseason priorities for the Wild; and Lionel Messi's star power. 25:00: The best and worst ways tonight's Wolves game could go were on display Wednesday, and the Frost dropped their playoff opener.
