Vancouver Whitecaps finally kicked off their 2024 MLS season with a 1-1 home draw with Charlotte FC at BC Place on Saturday. Not the best start, not the worst, but certainly a lot of talking points to come out of the match and for the coming weeks ahead, and we'll delve into a lot of them in this week's episode of the podcast. It's an important season for the 'Caps, with a lot to play for. Do they have the squad for success? Will there be more additions on the way?

Charean Williams, Mother Football, joined the guys to recap week 6 of the NFL season. Started off with the Seahawks and how they look with RW3 on the sidelines. She has never seen anything like it before. He was probably as involved as Geno Smith was in the game. He is trying to do his part while being out. She thinks Cam Newton makes perfect sense for them. Though, it might not make sense for Cam. He would want to go somewhere that isn't temporary. They needed to do it last week after he got hurt. Talked about Dallas and their injured QB. They need to make sure he is fit so it doesn't come back to bight them. John Shannon, Monday regular joined Matt and Blake and started off by chatting about the broadcast quality for the NHL's new American partners. Says that when they paid as much as they did they have a right to try new things but that existing methods are tried and true. Talked about Evander Kane and his 21 game suspension. Also about his thoughts on Travis Hamonic and his situation. Says the Canucks can't even legally talk about his vaccination status. You take the team for their word and move on. Talked about the salary cap. Referenced Luongo's contract that the Canucks are still paying. It hasn't been a smooth ride from the start of the cap era but thinks that they've got almost every loop-hole closed. Talked about Tampa Bay and their familiar problems on the injury front. John says he doesn't think Tampa is panicking. Even though they aren't as deep as they were last year. Jeff Paterson joined the show in his usual slot to talk about the Canucks. Started off by saying they haven't scored first in any of their games. Says they may need to win a face off for starters. They are dead last in the league right now. EP40 can't be a legitimate first line centre if he continues at 25% in the circle. Talked about the special teams. Team has given up a PP goal in each of their three games. Talked to what Tyler Motte brings to the PK. Was hoping that we would have seen him sometime this trip. Jeff's hunch is that we won't see him as he isn't with the team currently. Talked about Hamonic and his leave of absence. Something doesn't pass the smell test with the word “temporary”. Says we are going down the same road as last year. He was dreadful to start the season.  The radio voice of the Vancouver Whitecaps, Corey Basso joined Matt and Blake after another big win by the team over SKC. Talked about the roller coaster of a season it has been. Says he doesn't know if it would be the same if they didn't come back to BC Place and were still in Salt Lake. One can only wonder what the season would have looked like had they been here the entire time. Talked about the team being in lock-step with those teams around them. Talked about Russell Teibert. There has been some criticism of him but when he scores, they are big goals. Ran through the schedule and how it could play out. Talked about Vanni Sartini and if he has a shot at the permanent job. Says that he has a different approach than that of Dos Santos.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whitecaps midfielder Russell Teibert admits to mixed feelings on the firing of manager Carl Robinson

Russell Teibert of the Whitecaps joined the show.

Sick of teams from LA yet? I know we are. LAFC came to BC Place on Friday night and fairly easily picked apart an uninspiring and disappointing Kamaraless Vancouver Whitecaps. We do some picking ourselves, as we pick over the bones of the 2-0 loss, ponder where it all went wrong, how it can be improved, can we cope without Kei, where's the creativity, and where do some players fit into this team. Plus we sit down for a chat with Russell Teibert and talk with Jordan Harvey about his homecoming. We'll also look at the weekend's action amongst the MLS Western Conference teams and Flyscreen feature in this week's Wavelength section with a song about Panini stickers and Willie Johnston.

Canadian midfielder Russell Teibert says Vancouver is where his heart is and where he wants to be. Russell says this contract gives him the motivation to work hard, be a go-to player for Carl Robinson and help the Caps take the next step, which is winning the MLS Cup.

Mike and Jason recap the Canucks win over Carolina, talk Russia Olympic ban with Slava Malamud, and are joined by Russell Teibert, fresh off his new three-year contract with the Whitecaps

The guys are joined by Russell Teibert.

In the latest episode of Sideline Stories, Russell Teibert talks about playing hockey against a future NHL star as a kid, why he supports the Canucks over the Leafs, and making Vancouver home. Oh, you can also hear him count in Korean. Random, we know.

The Whitecaps finally have their number nine striker, but just as they get Fredy Montero, Yordy Reyna picks up an injury. Hopefully this isn't an ominous sign of the season to come in Vancouver. In our latest episode, we chat with 'Caps coach Carl Robinson about the Montero acquisition and discuss what it will mean for the team. He won't be playing in the Champions League game on Wednesday. We preview that match and look back at the horrific end to the 'Caps preseason. Our player interview this week is a slightly terse chat with Russell Teibert and Serious Drinking feature in the latest 'Wavelength' segment. All this and a lot more chat. Have a listen!

The boys are back in town! Well for some of them it was for the first time, as was the case with Vancouver Whitecaps new Japanese striker Masato Kudo. Friday was Media Day in Whitecapsland as the team headed back for day one of their 2016 preseason camp. We hear from Kudo as he meets the Whitecaps media for the first time and we chat to him about making the move to MLS from the J League, the challenges ahead, what kind of player the 'Caps fans can expect to see and a lot more. Keeping the Kudo and Japanese flavour, we speak to journalist Dan Orlowitz (@aishiterutokyo on Twitter). Dan is an American based in Tokyo and he covers the J League, the Japanese national team and international soccer for Football Channel. Dan tells us the impact he expects Kudo to make in Vancouver, what kind of player we'll see, how the two leagues compare, the interest his move will create amongst fellow players and what it might mean for the future of the J League. From a player who is coming to a player that was rumoured to be going - Gershon Koffie. We ask Gersh about the rumours of a move to Belgium or elsewhere in Europe, whether he's looking for a new challenge, how he spent his offseason and the fast tracking of his Canadian citizenship application. And there's still time to hear from 'Caps coach Carl Robinons about future roster moves and the camp invitees he's having a look at, while Russell Teibert tells us about what making an impact at the stacked DM position and Jordan Harvey talks about the battle he faces once again from Sam Adekugbe for the left back role. Have a listen!

Vancouver Whitecaps are on fire! They're the form team in MLS right now and Saturday's 4-0 rout of RSL cemented their place at the top of the Western Conference. We're back with our first postgame show for a long time, picking over the win against Real Salt Lake and the last few weeks of action. Head coaches Carl Robinson and Jeff Cassar give us some thoughts from Saturday's match and we also look at who's been excelling, what depth charges have risen and who has sunk, and whether the quiet transfer window was in fact a good thing for the Whitecaps. And there's still time to look ahead to Wednesday's Canadian Championship Final first leg and hear from two of the 'Caps Canadians, Russell Teibert and Sam Adekugbe. Have a listen!

It's been a while, but we're back! Refreshed and rested after a little break, the AFTN Soccer Podcast is ready and raring to go for what will be an incredibly busy month of August for Vancouver Whitecaps. 'Caps coach Carl Robinson talks about the packed month ahead. How will he prioritise the three competitions Vancouver find themselves in? How much squad rotation will there be? What's the chances of additions to the squad? And how does he approach playing Seattle Sounders twice in the space of five days? However he does it, it'll be double the fun. We’re also joined by Harjeet Johal to talk all things Whitecaps and we hear from Russell Teibert about playing in his second MLS Homegrown game during All-Star Week under coach Landon Donovan and Mauro Rosales looks back on his first goal as a Whitecap and his latest injury. And there's still time for Robert Earnshaw to talk about his career and his Whitecaps "Teammates". Have a listen!

Two home matches for Whitecaps fans to look forward to this weekend for the first time since the new USL side came into being. A busy weekend, a packed weekend and AFTN has you covered with it all. It's a battle of West v East at BC Place on Saturday evening when DC United come to Vancouver. We take a look ahead to the game, the key players and what line-up we might see the 'Caps going with. Will DC attack or defend? How can you leave Darren Mattocks out? Will the wee winger Cristian Techera be on from the start? We get the thoughts of Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson and hear from Vancouver players Russell Teibert, Pedro Morales and Mauro Rosales, along with DC United defender Taylor Kemp. With Vancouver's defensive spine being a key component to their early season success, we have an indepth chat with one of the main factors behind that, Argentine defensive midfielder Matias Laba, about him finally being a fully fledged Whitecaps, the season so far and what lies ahead. Our popular "Teammates" section returns and we bring you our first WFC2 one, with Residency alumni and Canadian international, Jackson Farmer. If you're still unfamiliar with some of the USL squad, Jackson's home truths will put you right! And there's still time to look ahead to the USL Cascadian derby this weekend as Sounders 2 come to UBC to take on WFC2 on Sunday. Have a listen!

And they said it wouldn't last. Well, whoever they are were wrong, as we bring you the 100th episode of "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer Podcast. We're in joyous mood at AFTN towers and it's not just because Vancouver Whitecaps got their first win of the new MLS season. We're celebrating a ton of pods with a ton of fun. Shenanigans ensured. We thought after a hundred episodes we still don't really know all that much about the Whitecaps players off the pitch, so let's change that with our new section "Teammates". Let's get some home truths about the players from those that spend the most time with them outside of their families. Or in other words, lets have teammates have a heap of fun letting rip on the rest of the locker room!! Whitecaps left back Jordan Harvey kicks the new feature off, but rest assured there will be a lot more to come! The 'Caps Canadian international Russell Teibert gets in on the act with a Canadian national team "Teammates" feature and Russell enjoyed it so much, he asked to do a Whitecaps one as well! And we also discover some strange "lost footage" from the AFTN vaults of 2011. Strange, because the podcast didn't even exist back then! All that and there's still time for Carl Robinson's big question! What will it be this week? Want to ask your own one? Then get in touch. Celebrate our century with us and 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.

Episode 80 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer podcast, looks back at a very busy, and at times disappointing, week in Whitecapsland. There was the good - the signing of tow homegrown players. The bad - the failure to convince New Westminster to be the home for the Caps' USL Pro team. And the ugly - Vancouver head to Portland this weekend to face Will Johnson and co. We bring you all the chatter from training this week in another raw audio heavy episode. We hear from those homegrown signings, Marco Bustos and Kianz Froese about their new MLS deals and we get the thoughts of Whitecaps coach Carl Robinson on the pair. Those were the only two signings announced on Monday before the MLS roster freeze and Whitecaps President Bobby Lenarduzzi tells us why and talks about the USL Pro situation, the season run-in and more. Keeping with the young theme we hear from Christian Dean about his first MLS start in last week's game against Dallas and from the guy that scored Vancouver's goal down there, and who everyone hopes is going to go on another streak, Erik Hurtado. Turning attention to back to the remainder of the MLS season, we hear from Robinson and some of the players about being in a full playoff mindset already and how each of these remaining six games is already basically a playoff game if Vancouver want to reach the postseason once again. Robinson also looks ahead to this weekend's big Cascadia Cup clash in Portland and we hear from some of the players - goalkeeper David Ousted, centreback Andy O'Brien and midfielders Matias Laba, Mauro Rosales and Russell Teibert. A busy show for a busy week!

Intense was the word of the day at Whitecaps training on Tuesday and it was also the mood in the air as the players battled hard for over two and a half hours. There were hard challenges, verbal exchanges and an overall desire to get the team over the final stretch and into the playoffs. Episode 75 of "There's Still Time" is a special Tales From The Training Ground as we hear from Caps' head coach Carl Robinson, goalkeeper David Ousted, right back Steven Beitashour, midfielder Russell Teibert and striker Omar Salgado about a number of key topics. We look at the Caps' three clean sheets in a row; the team's current fifth place in the standings and playoff push; the intensity of training and why it's important it doesn't go too far; the upcoming LA game; the Julian Jenner rumours and whether there will be more additions before the roster freeze; and what are the chances of some more homegrown talent being added soon? All that, and there's still time to look at the Salgado handshake incident that had everyone in a tizzy over the weekend, and we hear from the player and coach themselves in full about it, expanding on my article on MLSsoccer.com. Have a listen!

Preseason is over and the countdown to First Kick off is on. Vancouver Whitecaps head into the new season as Champions. Well of the Rose City Invitational tournament and there didn't even seem to be a trophy, but still.... We look back at the last game, a draw with Portland, what could be taken out of the tournament on the whole, and hear some thoughts from head coach Carl Robinson. With the soon to be announced signing of attacking midfielder Pedro Morales, a midfield battle royale awaits and only the strong will survive. We look at the battle ahead and chat to one of the players hoping to come through it unscathed, Russell Teibert. There are other battles out there too and one of them will be up front. The main man is Kenny Miller and we have a long chat with the Designated Player about his time in MLS so far, his injury troubles and his hopes for the team for the new season. And there's still time to tell you about our new preview podcast which begins on Friday.

Vancouver Whitecaps midfielder and front runner for best hair in MLS, Russell Teibert calls in to talk about his season and then ESPN soccer analyst Alexi Lalas talks about the U.S. National Men's Team ahead of their match on Wednesday night.

Episode eight of "There's Still Time", the AFTN podcast, and it's our second post game special. Recorded at BC Place after the win over Los Angeles Galaxy, it's quite a cock-a-hoop mood for once with myself and Steve. We bring you audio from both Martin Rennie and Bruce Arena on the game; two goal hero Russell Teibert talks about his standout performance, what it means to him and doing it for his watching family; Darren Mattocks talks about the relief of breaking his goalscoring drought; and Nigel Reo-Coker chats about the game and of being a proud mentor. We also look ahead to the upcoming Voyageurs Cup final and gets the thoughts of Rennie and Teibert on the match with Montreal. We're joined for a special roundtable chat on all of this, and the Caps PDL win on Friday night, by two guest co-hosts: Benjamin Massey from Maple Leaf Forever and the Two Fat Bastards podcast, and Andrew Bates from Little Rubber Pellets.

Third time's the charm and Episode Three of "There's Still Time" has some charming men to try and entertain you, along with Steve and myself! Our main guest this week is Russell Teibert. The Whitecap's Canadian international chats about his start against San Jose on Saturday, the frustrations of being on the fringe of the first team these past two years, what may lie in store this season for the Caps, his international ambitions and, of course, we just had to ask him about his Canadian Soccer Jesus nickname. We also hear from Nigel Reo-Coker about that tackle on Sam Cronin and the furore it caused back in England, and Martin Rennie talks about how happy he is with the current squad and how important winning their home games will be for the Whitecaps this season in such a tightly competitive division. We continue with our 'Bucket List' topic, around which football stadiums we want to visit before we leave this mortal coil, with the thoughts of Groundhopping Canada's Devon Rowcliffe on some local and international stadiums that he's visited and he highly recommends should be on your list. Don't worry, we'll have a new 'bucket list' topic next week! And there’s still time this week for Steve Pandher and myself to take a look back at Vancouver’s incident packed draw with San Jose and look ahead to the Real Salt Lake game at the weekend as the Whitecaps finally return to Vancouver. Going forward, "There's Still Time" will adopt a number of different formats for forthcoming episodes. Some will be just pure chat, there will be some interviews, some episodes will be a roundtable down the pub style and we're also planning on bringing you some post home game specials. We may even throw in the odd "after dark" episode for those not easily offended. So enough waffle, there's enough of that in the podcast. Have a listen, let us know what you think and what improvements we can make or new segments we can include. And don't forget to tell us your 'bucket list' suggestions below.
