David Gass from SoccerWise joins the suite to deliver postgame analysis and debate how to revamp the All-Star showcase. Together, they pitch wild concept changes—including 5v5 ladder tournaments, manager goalkeepers, referee bribery mechanics, and an off-season All-Star event built around Lionel Messi in Miami. The crew also reflects on the "high school reunion" feel of All-Star week and why reconnecting with friends across the sport remains the real highlight.

It is the doldrums of summer sports and Alex is stoked to watch the MLS All-Star Game for the distraction. But first, Alex talks about how Anthony Fauci spent decades insisting science should stay above politics. But after pleading the Fifth before a Republican-led Senate hearing filled with accusations about COVID, the former public health chief finds himself relying on politics—in the form of a presidential pardon—to protect him. He explores the irony of Fauci's fall from nonpartisan scientific authority to one of America's most polarizing political figures, and asks why Republicans are reviving one of their favorite COVID-era targets now.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat. The Whitecaps finally got back to MLS action this past week with a tough two-game road trip that saw them head home to Vancouver with just a solitary point from games against FC Cincinnati and Minnesota United. We look at the good, the bad, and the ugly coming out of those two matches, with very little in the first category but a lot of concern in the other two. Adding to that concern are more injury woes, no new signings seeming imminent, and the confirmed departed of key midfield piece Sebastian Berhalter to Middlesbrough. We also look at Thomas Müller lighting up the MLS All Star Game activities, MLS discussing much-needed changes to their roster rules and regulations, and round-up the weekend's action in the CPL. All of this plus a little bit more Whitecaps stadium chat, while music-wise, we've three C86 songs for you with tracks from Stitched-back Foot Airman, The Jasmine Minks, and The Chesterfields, and we have another song from a footballer in Wavelength. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.23: Intro - Island time 15.40: Whitecaps take just one point in frustrating two-game road trip 50.50: Whitecaps have big hole to fill as Berhalter sold to Boro 77.09: Whitecaps and Lions both looking to buy BC Place now? 87.45: Thomas Müller shines at MLS All-Star Game shooting challenge 94.35: MLS owners considering big changes to roster rules and regulations 109.15: CPL round-up - Vancouver FC are in the playoff places 124.00: Wavelength - Andy Cole - Outstanding

In this episode, the boys look back at the MLS All-Star Game and the recent clash between Nashville SC and San Diego with a little help from the Bard himself.  It may not have been totally worth it to stay up late on Friday night to catch the game, but there were some terrific concerts worth going to this weekend instead.  And while the boys show a lot of love for Joe Willis, they've got bones to pick with MLS ownership for their greed and general disinterest in the game of soccer.  But that's okay, because Nashville is still having a great season, and the boys express the joy of 2025 through poetry before offering up some incredibly spicy (and slightly uncomfortable) takes about Walker Zimmerman's starting role.  Finally, the boys look ahead to the friendly match against Aston Villa.  Ryan is torn between two of his favorite teams, but in the end, they're all rooting for the gold and blue.  And they drink beer.
