We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, FIFA Club World Cup, CONCACAF Gold Cup, and Canadian national team chat and interviews. Canada is flying high at the 2025 Gold Cup, at least on the pitch with wins over Honduras and Curacao. Off it, head coach Jesse Marsch has been ruffling CONCACAF feathers and was under investigation over incidents in Vancouver last week. We delve into the two victories, the standout performers, and the drama off the pitch. The FIFA Club World Cup is coming to the end of its group stage, and while the much maligned tournament has drawn a lot of criticism, the footballing fare on offer has been first class and very entertaining. We look at the tournament so far and see what lessons could and should be learned ahead of hosting next year's actual World Cup here in North America. The Whitecaps have had much needed and well-deserved time off after a crazy first half of their season. They're going to be back on the pitch on Wednesday to take on San Diego in what is now a battle of the top two teams in the MLS West. Who saw that coming when we saw the schedule?! We look ahead to that match up and discuss the first half of the 'Caps season with head coach Jesper Sorensen, captain Ranko Veselinovic, and forward Emmanuel Sabbi. Plus we chat with rookie standout Tate Johnson about his stellar first six months as a Whitecap, his first international experience with a US national team, riding camels in Cairo, and he helps launch our new food section as we talk milkshakes! All of this plus music-wise, a solo Pete Shelley continues his residency as our Album of the Month, we've a Britpop song from Whiteout, and a summer kick-off classic from Arab Strap features in Wavelength.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, FIFA World Cup, and Canadian national team chat and interviews. Vancouver Whitecaps' 11-match unbeaten run in MLS came to end in Columbus on Saturday after the Crew dispatched them 2-1. We look back at the main talking points coming out of the match, including the continued absences of key players and the blooding of a couple of homegrowns. The match marked the midway point of the 'Caps' MLS regular season and we delve into the fantastic first half of what is shaping up to be a momentous year for the table toppers. It's an exciting time for football in Vancouver and the one year countdown to the 2026 FIFA World Cup has now begun. We look at how prepared Vancouver is to host an event of this magnitude and hear from the legendary Christine Sinclair, Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim, and BC's Minister for Sport Spencer Chandra Herbert. Canada are preparing for next year's World Cup at this year's Gold Cup, which got underway this past weekend. We chat about Canada's chances, and hear from head coach Jesse Marsch, Whitecaps winger Ali Ahmed, and Sporting KC defender Zorhan Bassong. All of this plus we talk FIFA Club World Cup, World Cup 2026 qualification, and music-wise, a solo Pete Shelley continues his residency as our Album of the Month, we've two Britpop songs from Menswear and Powder, and a Columbus Crew classic features in Wavelength.

The Seattle Sounders turned easily their most disappointing performance of the season. What makes it sting even worse is that expectations were quite high for their game against the Vancouver Whitecaps, who were missing more than half their starters and were coming off a nearly team-wide bout of “gastrointestinal symptoms.” The Sounders responded by looking flat and almost uninterested at times.Jeremiah and Aaron dig into that performance before power-ranking the five teams they each think have the best shots at winning the Club World Cup.Sponsors

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, Northern Super League, and national team chat and interviews. What a week it's been in Whitecapsland. Eventful doesn't even do it justice, as the team returned from a heavy cup final loss only to be hit by gastrointestinal illness that left Sunday's derby game with Seattle Sounders in doubt. In the end it was played and despite everything the 'Caps came away with a stunning 3-0 win over their Cascadian rivals. We look back at the match, the build up, and the fallout. Turning our attention to the national teams, we look back at Canada's win over Ukraine in the Canadian Shield as they prepare for the Gold Cup, the Canadian women's U20s qualifying for the World Cup, and our feature interview is with the Vancouverite and Vancouver Rise player who scored her first goal for the senior team this week, Holly Ward. We chat with Holly about her fantastic year to date for both club and country and what's to come. All of this plus we look around the lie of the land in the CPL and the recent resignation of Commissioner Mark Noonan, and music-wise, a solo Pete Shelley continues his residency as our Album of the Month, we've a Britpop song from Powder, and an old Scottish World Cup song in Wavelength.

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.

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're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Championship, and international football chat. It was back to two-game weeks for Vancouver Whitecaps and that meant getting back to their winning ways. After being made to work hard to come away with a draw in Winnipeg at Valour in the Canadian Championship, the 'Caps produced a stunning comeback victory to take three points in MLS action at Real Salt Lake, giving themselves some breathing space at the top of the table for the rough weeks to come.
