We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Premier League, and FIFA Under 17 World Cups chat and interviews. It wasn't the prettiest victory, but the Whitecaps got the job done in Dallas on Saturday night, winning a penalty shootout in game two of their playoff series to book their berth in the Western Conference semi-finals and setting up a mouthwatering clash with LAFC.
