We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Championship, and FIFA World Cup chat and interviews. The Whitecaps roll on, lifting their fourth-straight Voyageurs Cup and controlling their own fate in the race to be best in the MLS West. We chat about the 'Caps wins over Vancouver FC and San Jose Earthquakes and what the season run-in looks for the team and those around them. Plus we look at the celebratory night for BC Soccer that was the Canadian Championship final and ponder what next year's tournament might look like in a crowded footballing schedule. For the 'Caps a big boost to their postseason aspirations is having captain Ryan Gauld back on the pitch. We catch up with the talismanic Scot for an in-depth interview to talk about his return from injury, what the last few months have been like on the sidelines, the success of the team this season and what may be to come, impending fatherhood, and a little bit on the Scottish national team in a week of key World Cup qualifiers for them. The 2026 FIFA World Cup is less than nine months away and as the excitement builds, so does the annoyance when it comes to ticket prices and availability. We look at what it will cost to go to a game in Vancouver, what we've learned from the initial batch of tickets going on sale, and whether the real fans will be priced out. Plus we talk kick off times. Is Vancouver set for a slate of afternoon matches to save people baking elsewhere?

Ryan Duey was born and raised in Northern California. He attended Cal Poly University, where he spent a semester abroad in Barcelona. The experience was so impactful that after graduation, Ryan returned to Spain and spent the next two years living and working in Madrid. After Madrid, Ryan returned to the States and began working in the front office of the San Jose Earthquakes. Soon after, Ryan had what he calls his “greatest gift”: a head-on motorcycle accident in Thailand. This near-death experience catapulted Ryan into a journey of self-inquiry, leading him to the jungles of the Amazon, the inside of a float tank, and a commitment to entrepreneurship in the Health and Wellness industry. Ryan is now the CEO of Plunge, the makers of cutting-edge cold plunge tubs and saunas.
