Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast!In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to chat about all things Vancouver Whitecaps and Vancouver FC. To begin, they dive into the latest out of the Whitecaps, who are coming off a pair of mixed results in Cascadia Cup action against the Portland Timbers and the Seattle Sounders. Thanks to a pair of draws against both teams, the Whitecaps have done enough to win the 2025 Cascadia Cup, but there's a feeling of missed opportunity despite that, as they could've won both games, which would've given them a big boost in their quest for the Supporters' Shield. Now, though, the Whitecaps will turn their attention to what lies ahead of them this week, as they get set to take on local neighbours Vancouver FC in the Canadian Championship final. There, the Whitecaps have a chance to make history as they chase a Canadian Championship four-peat, showing why this game is quite special for them. On the other side, though, awaits a hungry Vancouver FC side, one that has the most dangerous thing for any team to have in a final - they have nothing to lose. Having struggled in Canadian Premier League play this year, this Voyageurs Cup run has been a welcome distraction for them, and now they're looking to cap it off with an upset for the ages. How possible is such an upset? Alex and Sam dive into that, and many more topics surrounding the final, to end off the show.

Was José Chavez y Chavez really part Navajo? And what about Billy the Kid's famous escape from Lincoln? Was that Young Guns 2 scene with the pistol in the outhouse true, or did he overpower his guard? Who actually killed Deputy Carlyle at White Oaks? These are just a few of the questions I discussed with historian and author James B. Mills. His book, Billy the Kid: Bandido Simpatico, is one of the most definitive biographies on William H. Bonney, and his new release, In the Days of Billy the Kid, explores the lives of Chavez y Chavez, Juan Patron, Yginio Salazar, and the underrated Martin Chavez. We cover everything from the Society of Bandits to the Battle of Lincoln, whether Billy and Jesse James ever met, John Chisum, and even the White Caps uprising.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Championship chat and interviews. The Whitecaps may be down to the bare bones in terms of squad selection, especially on the defensive side, but that didn't stop them claiming an 8th Cascadia Cup following draws with Portland and Seattle. We pick over the bones of those two matches, look at the lie of the land for the race to be the best in the MLS West, and have a chat with Whitecaps centre back Mark O'Neill about signing his first MLS deal, his footballing journey, and coming from a three-code footballing family. We also look ahead to the Canadian Championship final and preview the all-Vancouver match-up by having an in-depth chat with Vancouver FC head coach, and former Whitecaps legend, Martin Nash. We chat with Marty about the final, whether this cup run will help him lose the interim tag, what fans can expect from the team, the players to watch, and Whitecaps memories. It's also a final that will pit brother against brother and we chat with both the Whitecaps Ralph Priso and his brother Huge Mbongue at VFC about what will be a very emotional night for the pair, and get 'Caps coach Jesper Sorensen's thoughts on the match-up. Plus we hear from Thomas Müller after lifting the Cascadia Cup and hopefully soon the Voyageurs Cup, talk more FIFA shenanigans and music-wise, Hazel O'Connor wraps up her residency as our Album of the Month, we've Britpop songs from Sleeper and Pulp, and The Abs feature in Wavelength with a song about footballer Ralph Coates' hair.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Championship, and Canadian Premier League football chat and interviews. What a week it's been for Vancouver and BC soccer. The Whitecaps and Vancouver FC of Langley set up a first ever meeting between the two teams in next week's Canadian Championship final after semi-final wins over Forge and Ottawa respectively. We chat about the games and the match-up to come, the showcase of soccer in the province, and hear some thoughts from Whitecaps head coach Jesper Sorensen and VFC's Martin Nash and Matteo Campagna. Heading back to league business, the Whitecaps went to Kansas City at the weekend and left with a comfortable victory that broke a multitude of club records along the way and left them controlling their own destinies in the race for first place in the MLS West and the Supporters' Shield. We chat with MLS Apple TV analyst Devon Kerr about the match and the season run-in for the 'Caps. We also chat with one of the (many) standout players for the Whitecaps this year, Uruguayan centre-back Mathias Laborda, about the season so far, what's to come, the Canadian Championship final, life in Vancouver, and find out if he fancies a chocolate digestive. Plus we talk about CPL side Pacific FC being put up for sale this week and the unsavoury public spat with the City of Langford that followed, and music-wise, Hazel O'Connor continues her residency as our Album of the Month, we've Britpop songs from Smaller and Pulp, and a Dutch band features in Wavelength.

For the Glory KC is back with the 147th episode of the show!The KC Current are the headliners this week, and probably should be each week, because they had themselves a marvelous weekend! After the Washington Spirit dropped points to Angel City FC on Thursday night, that opened the door for the Kansas City Current to lift the shield on Saturday night. All they had to do was win.And of course they did! They defeated the Seattle Reign 2-0, lifted the NWSL Shield as the best record in the league, with five games remaining. It's the fastest ever shield win in league history, breaking the previous record set by the 2014 Seattle Reign.But that Reign team ultimately didn't win the NWSL Championship. They lost the final to FC Kansas City, coached by Vlatko Andonovski. Sheena and I work through all the emotions and moments from the night and how the KC Current can't let that happen to them. Across town, things were much worse for Sporting Kansas City. They lost, yet again, this time to the Vancouver Whitecaps. And it was a depleted Whitecaps side who were missing most of their stars. It didn't matter as SKC fell behind just over a minute into the game and never recovered.Then again, they did play some kids and try some different things for next year. So, I supposed we sort of got what we were asking for last week. But losing sucks. And St. Louis City won, so Sporting KC are closer to the Wooden Spoon (for the worst record in MLS) than anything else and now behind their cross-state rivals.On one night, the KC Current proclaim themselves one of the best teams in the world and Sporting KC get eliminated from playoff contention. What a weird night for Kansas City soccer.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:Messi extends contract with Inter Miami and will retire in MLSUS Open Cup and Canadian Championship finals setHere is a rundown of topics and start times:Premier League Morning Live! - 1:11KC Current win the Shield! - 11:35Sporting KC may have quit - 45:10Digital Crawl - 1:11:45Upcoming GamesKC Current vs. Chicago Stars - Fri.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Championship, and Canadian Premier League football chat and interviews. The Whitecaps sent a message to the rest of MLS with a 7-0 thumping of the Supporters Shield leading Philadelphia Union on Saturday. We delve into the many highs from that one and look at how it leaves the MLS run-in with just weeks of the regular season remaining. There were a lot of great moments from that big win, but one of the best was the first MLS goal for Whitecaps Homegrown Rayan Elloumi on his home debut. We talk with Rayan about signing his MLS deal, that goal, his family's reaction, and what he needs to work on now that he's moved up a level. Turning our attention to the Canadian Championship, we look ahead to the Whitecaps-Forge semi-final second leg and hear from both head coaches, while Thomas Müller talks about what cup football means to him. We also chat with Whitecaps centreback Belal Halbouni about the club's and his own season so far and the semi-final, and we have an in-depth interview with Forge's talismanic midfielder Tristan Borges about the game, Forge's season, the club's success in the CPL, and his own footballing journey.

For the Glory KC is back with the 146th episode of the show!Sporting Kansas City really wasted our time this weekend. Sure, the game was close, only losing 2-1 to Real Salt Lake. But any idiot could see this lineup wasn't going to work. A midfield three of Nemanja Radoja, Jacob Bartlett and Jake Davis. Where is the offense coming from? Why is Radoja playing the 8? He has a single position, being a defensive midfielder in a single pivot. A role he's spent almost no time playing in 2025. Which is fine, let Barlett get those minutes. Or even better, let Davis and Zorhan Bassong play in a double pivot (Bassong was suspended for this game).And why is Joaquin Fernandez playing any minutes for this team? He has shown he hasn't done enough to earn a new contract. His deal runs out at the end of 2025 and his exorbitant salary has not been earned. Ian James picked up a concussion, so he wasn't available. But new loanee Alan Montes is. See if he has enough talent to keep around beyond the expiration of his loan this season. They have a purchase option. I have a dream formation he'd fit right into.Worst of all, the game was so conservative, and Kerry Zavagnin didn't go offensive until the team was down 2-0. It felt like a wasted game. We'll get into that, and other thoughts from the RSL game before moving on to other topics like the KC Cauldron "Hot Seat," an injury update for SKC and England possibly coming to KC for the World Cup.Finally, the KC Current couldn't pull off yet another win. They played to a 0-0 draw with the Washington Spirit without the injured Temwa Chawinga. Temwa should be fine according to Vlatko Andonovski.The game was another hot one, featured a red card and the Spirit showed why they are the 2nd place team in the NWSL.In the Digital Crawl, we hit on a few more topics, including:USMNT bounce back versus JapanSt. Louis City owners battle with their supportersWooden Spoon race updateHere is a rundown of topics and start times:Sporting KC waste a week of our lives against RSL - 10:04SKC injury news and Cauldron Hot Seat - 34:08No Temwa, no winning for the Current - 43:06Digital Crawl - 57:23Upcoming GamesSKC II @ North Texas SC, Sun.

There's so much football on at the moment, we just had to bring you a second episode this week ahead of the big clash between the Whitecaps and Philadelphia Union. We preview the match with Apple TV's MLS360 host Kevin Egan and talk about how the last few months have looked for the 'Caps from afar, what might be in store in the season run-in, and the exciting action this weekend across the league. We also chat with Whitecaps winger Jayden Nelson about his time away with Canada, the run-in, learning from a great like Thomas Muller, and talk next week's Canadian Championship semi-final with Forge. The other pro team in the city, Northern Super League side Vancouver Rise, are making a strong push for a championship themselves. We chat with head coach Anja Heiner-Møller about the highs and lows of the season so far, the learning curves of a new league, travel, injuries, star performers, and more. Plus keeping on the subject of women's soccer, we chat with author Heidi Smith about her new book Play On, which takes a look at the struggles, challenges, and rise of the women's game over the last 140 years.

We're back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps and international football chat and interviews. The Whitecaps have wrapped up week two of their three weeks off and everyone's getting itchy week, just wanting to get back at it. We have a chat with Whitecaps head coach Jesper Sorensen about the difficulties of getting any work done in this period, the season run-in, bolstering the midfield again, and the impact Thomas Muller has had on the team. We also look at the Whitecaps season run-in and how the MLS West might shake out in terms of points and positioning. We also chat with two young guns that have come through the 'Caps academy. It's been a great 2025 so far for Jeevan Badwal. We talk to him about his breakthrough season with the first team, what Whitecaps players he admired growing up, being an inspiration for the next generation, and being a sponge around Thomas Muller. For Rayan Elloumi, he hopes to emulate Badwal's rise and we talk to the WFC2 player about his excellent season so far, his journey from Edmonton with the BTB Academy, and his hopes for moving into the first team. Plus we look at how the eight Whitecaps players have fared in the early stages of this international break, talk Tristan Blackmon's performance in the US' loss to South Korea, and delve into Canada's impressive win over Romania and the excellent outing from Ali Ahmed.

The Lumber Slingers crew is back, kicking off with back-to-school chaos, kids' activities, and the rise of full-blown “football mom” energy (cheetah print bleacher chairs included). From there, the conversation shifts to big industry moves, including Home Depot's acquisition and Whitecap's latest buys. The team dives into market shifts as Interfor announces a curtailment that rattled futures, and they explore why two customers in the same city can have completely opposite outlooks on the market. They also spotlight Hood Industries' investment, a Brightwood leadership transition, and the ripple effects of mortgage rates “tumbling” (or just tripping). With plenty of laughs, Katy Perry wisdom, Swiftie references, and even a playful debate over who the “Scooter Braun of lumber” might be. Questions? email us at lumberslingers@gmail.com
