In this episode, we continue our chats with head coaches from around the league and bring you three feature interviews, from three teams with very different expectations this season.

We kick things off with the champs, as we sit down with new Pacific FC head coach James Merriman to chat about defending their title, the comings and goings in an eventful offseason, fighting on three fronts, and more.

It’s also been an eventful offseason for FC Edmonton, and not one you’d wish on any coach. With the team looking for new owners, the playing and management team decimated, and the league taking over the team and providing loan players, head coach Alan Koch has certainly had his work cut out for him. We chat with him about all the turmoil, building a squad, and what we can expect from the team this year both on and off the pitch.

Continuing to move east, we end up at York United to chat with another new head coach, and a man we know very well here in Vancouver, Martin Nash. Nash has moved too York after three years as an assistant at Cavalry. Can he take the team forward after they reached the playoffs for the first time? What will a Martin Nash team look like on the pitch? And how has he found the adjustment to being the main man in the dugout? We talk about all of that and more.

We chat about the latest win in El Salvador, the job that John Herdman has done, how the rest of the year should look, and the team’s continuing rise in the FIFA rankings.

It’s also been a busy week in Whitecapsland and we look at all the main stories from Brian White’s contract extension, to the signing of midfielder Sebastian Berhalter, to a couple of departures. Plus we look at the announcement of how the MLS Next Pro roster will be made up and we find out if Javain Brown fancies a chocolate digestive.

We also take a look at the 2022 CPL schedule and how Pacific FC’s offseason has been going, travel around the world to chat about some stories making the news in Australia, Africa, and Scotland, talk about the BBC documentary Fever Pitch: The Rise of the Premier League in this week’s TVOD section, and The Jam debut as our Artists of the Month.

The Whitecaps season may be over and it may have been all quiet on the blue and white front this past week, but there’s a lot of big decisions coming up this offseason around the head coaching position, the current squad of players, and bringing in new faces to take the team to the next level.

We give the ‘Caps a helping hand, and kick off our offseason shows, with our annual look at who the club need to keep around, who should be traded, transferred or loaned out, and who should be cut free and wished well in their future endeavours.

The Whitecaps season may be over and it may have been all quiet on the blue and white front this past week, but there’s a lot of big decisions coming up this offseason around the head coaching position, the current squad of players, and bringing in new faces to take the team to the next level.

We give the ‘Caps a helping hand, and kick off our offseason shows, with our annual look at who the club need to keep around, who should be traded, transferred or loaned out, and who should be cut free and wished well in their future endeavours.

It’s a playoff edition as we look at the highs and lows for the two BC teams in postseason action this weekend, as the Whitecaps MLS season came to an end in Kansas City, but Pacific FC’s continued as they made it to the Canadian Premier league championship game.

We kick things off with some ‘Caps chat, who are one and done after going down to a 3-1 defeat at Sporting KC in the MLS playoffs. What went wrong? What was with the line-up? And should we be feeling a bit downbeat about crashing out early, optimistic about what they’ve achieved and the future, or a combination of all of that?

We look at the main talking points from the game and hear from ‘Caps coach Vanni Sartini, plus we round up the rest of the weekend’s MLS playoff action.

But it was far better news for Pacific FC as they beat Cavalry FC, in somewhat controversial circumstances, in their semi-final to reach their first ever CPL championship game against Forge FC in two week’s time. We chat about both semis, set up the final, and hear from Pacific head coach Pa Modou Kah and Cavalry’s Tommy Wheeldon Jr.

We look at the highs and lows from the game, some of the bizarre personnel decisions on the night, the continued flat first half performances, and where that loss leaves the ‘Caps now after the weekend’s other results in the Western Conference.

Turning our attention to the international stage, we delve into the aftermath of Canada’s 3-0 win over El Salvador in World Cup qualifying and look at the lay of the land in the CONCACAF octagon. Plus we hear some postgame audio from head coach John Herdman and players Atiba Hutchinson and Milan Borjan.

It’s been another busy few days at club and country level and we have you covered with it in this episode.

We kick things off with a look at the Whitecaps’ latest win, a 2-1 come from behind victory at home to Austin FC. Is this the mark of a playoff side or has it been two wins against poor opposition? What’s behind another slow start and what can we take from a scintillating second half? We chat about all of this, plus we hear from the gaffer and look at the playoff picture in the MLS West.

Our feature interview for this episode is with the ‘Caps interim head coach Vanni Sartini. We chat with Vanni about growing up playing and as a football fan in Italy, his coaching background, his move to the US and coming on the Whitecaps’ radar, his coaching philosophies, and more. Plus we find out the most important thing, does he fancy a chocolate digestive?

Turning our attention to the international stage, we delve into the aftermath of Canada’s 1-1 draw with the US, look at what that means in terms of the other CONCACAF World Cup qualifiers, and chat about the farcical scenes in CONMEBOL between Brazil and Argentina.

It’s all about club and country this episode as we look at both the recent turmoil in Whitecapsland and the way ahead and at Canada kicking off the next part in their Quest for Qatar.

We sit down for a chat with Whitecaps CEO and Sporting Director Axel Schuster to talk about the firing of head coach Marc Dos Santos, the search for his replacement, and the future direction of the club. Was the dismissal of MDS on the cards for a while? What has the first week of the new coaching search been like and just what are they looking for? Will they splash the cash for right man? Could we see a free agent or a third DP added before the roster freeze? We chat about all of that and more.

Turning our attention to the international stage, we delve into Canada’s less than stellar start to the Octagon after they dropped two points to Honduras on Thursday night and what that might mean for the rest of their World Cup qualifying campaign. What went wrong? Did everyone get caught up in the hype and forget how dangerous Honduras can be? Is this merely a blip and can the young Canucks bounce back against the US on Sunday? Was it a wake up call? All this and more, plus we hear the postgame thoughts of head coach John Herdman.

It’s been another week of non stop football action and talking points for us to delve into and we kick things off by looking at a busy week in the transfer market for the Whitecaps, with three new additions and two guys going out on loan. We look at all of that, hear some thoughts from ‘Caps coach Marc Dos Santos, and chat to the latest addition, German defender Florian Jungwirth.

The Whitecaps were in action on Sunday night, coming up with their seventh draw of the season down in LA. We pick over the bones of that Galaxy game, the highs and lows, and hear the post games thoughts of MDS and MLS debutant Ryan Gauld.

The Whitecaps finally have their number 10. Scottish playmaker Ryan Gauld was unveiled at training this week and there’s a spring in our tartan steps here at the AFTN Soccer Show.

We look at the impact Ryan might have on the team, but temper those expectations that he’s going to come in become a messiah right away. Although Vancouver do need some help as they sink to the foot of the Western Conference standings after the midweek action.

We sit down for a chat with Ryan to talk about his career so far and his move to Vancouver, in one of three exclusive one on ones this episode. We also get the thoughts of ‘Caps coach Marc Dos Santos on Ryan and what’s next for the team.

We’re just over a week away from the start of the new MLS season, which feels like a good time for our regular pre-First Kick chat with ‘Caps coach Marc Dos Santos. We talk in detail to MDS about the season ahead and what we can expect from the team, life in Utah, the search for a number ten, the young players dilemma, and much more.

Turning our attention to the other Canadian MLS teams, we chat with Eve Powell about all things CF Montreal after an offseason that’s seen a rebrand, a new coach, and an influx of players. Can they be competitive in the East this season?

Our third feature interview in the episode is with a former Whitecap and Canadian international who has just hung up his boots, Marcel De Jong. We chat with the CANPFA President about his career, his retiral, his new soccer academy, and the fight to get the Canadian players union by the CPL and Canada Soccer.

The new MLS season is seven weeks away and the news around the league is really starting to ramp up. There’s new signings, new kits, new managerial vacancies, and doubts surrounding new teams. We chat about all of that and more this episode.

In Whitecapsland a new defensive signing is set to be announced this week, with Angolan-Portuguese right back Bruno Gaspar joining on loan from CP Sporting. What will this mean for the porous Vancouver backline, which is now one of the most expensive in MLS history.

Our feature interview this week is with one of those defensive pieces, goalkeeper Evan Newton. We have a lengthy chat with Evan about his move to Vancouver and his career so far. What advice did his mentor Jon Busch give him? Why did it take so long for the USL standout to get back to MLS? How did he unintentionally derail NYCFC’s Champions League preparations? All this and more are discussed in a very enjoyable chat.

We also delve into Thierry Henry’s departure in Montreal and hear from VP and CEO Kevin Gilmore and Sporting Director Olivier Renard about his decision and where that leaves the club. But Montreal haven’t been the only MLS side thrown into chaos this week as we look at the current mess in Sacramento, who have just lost their majority owner two years before they are set to join the league.

It’s been pretty quiet in Whitecapsland, so that surely means a shorter show. We thought that too, but turns out we ended up with a two and a half hourer instead as we turned our attentions to other matters.

AFTN writer Jake McGrail joins us to look at the main Whitecaps talking points of the week and share his thoughts on last season, the offseason, and the season to come. Plus we look at MLS’ new U22 player initiative and the convoluted rules that seem to surround it.

But while it’s been quiet in Vancouver, the same can’t be said in Montreal and we take a bit of time to delve into all the happenings out east from the continuing rebrand to new signings to possibly losing their head coach just before the season begins.

Will Thierry Henry be heading to Bournemouth to become manager there? Where does that leave Montreal this close to the start of the season and just who has been behind the club’s numerous signings this offseason?

The new MLS season is all systems go after a deal between the league and the players has been agreed and a lockout has been avoided. We hear from MLS Commissioner Don Garber about the deal and the season ahead.

But what does it mean for the Whitecaps? Where will they play? How disadvantaged will they be by players being away on international duty in the weeks before the season begins? We sit down for an in-depth chat with Vancouver CEO and Sporting Director Axel Schuster to chat about all of that, the plans to keep families together this season, the new head of recruitment, the search for a number 10, and more.

At the time of recording this episode, it looks like a MLS lockout has been avoided. We talk about what info is flying around regarding the deal between the league and the players, and debate whether the players have given up too much that they’ll come to regret in the long run.

We also delve into the Whitecaps and CPL news of the week and look at the exciting revamp of the CONCACAF Champions League.

Our feature interview this episode is tied in with our latest Wavelength selection. Glasgow band The Eisenhowers released their third album last month and the last track on it, and the first single taken from it, is a football based song called “3 O’Clock On A Saturday”.

At the time of recording this episode, it looks like a MLS lockout has been avoided. We talk about what info is flying around regarding the deal between the league and the players, and debate whether the players have given up too much that they’ll come to regret in the long run.

We also delve into the Whitecaps and CPL news of the week and look at the exciting revamp of the CONCACAF Champions League.

Our feature interview this episode is tied in with our latest Wavelength selection. Glasgow band The Eisenhowers released their third album last month and the last track on it, and the first single taken from it, is a football based song called “3 O’Clock On A Saturday”. Dubbed “a love letter to Scottish football” it’s an evocative song, made all the more meaningful by having our ability to attend football matches taken away from us just now.

Is a MLS lockout looming? We chat about that as things aren’t looking good between the owners and the players, and while we may now have a start date for the new season to get underway, getting to that point still feels filled with a lot of uncertainties and a long way away.

As it all plays out, the Whitecaps have been busy making some signings to their squad. We look at the additions of winger Deibar Caicedo and goalkeeper Evan Newton, and chat to ‘Caps coach Marc Dos Santos and Sporting Director Axel Schuster about the former. Plus we look at the return of Andy Rose and talk with the man himself about coming back to the team and his additional role as U19 assistant coach.

It’s also been a busy week in the CPL with their 2021 U Sports draft. We look at some of the picks and chat with FC Edmonton’s two selections, Whitecaps academy alumni Tommy Gardner and Jackson Farmer. Plus we hear a little bit from their new head coach Alan Koch and we have a special CPL giveaway for one lucky listener.

The 2021 MLS SuperDraft has come and gone and the Whitecaps have four new players. Well two are likely heading back to college, but we do hear from the other two, Nigerian striker David Egbo and Jamaican defender Javain Brown.

We look at what the ‘Caps have added, hear from head coach Marc Dos Santos and Sporting Director Axel Schuster, and also chat with them about the season ahead for the Whitecaps, possible signings, and more.

Turning our attention to the international scene, Vancouver’s Lucas Cavallini and Toronto’s Jonathan Osorio talk Canada, and we look at the impact a busy international calendar will have on a Canadian-heavy Whitecaps squad this season.

2020 is over. We made it! And as is our tradition, we kick off our first show of the new year with a look back at the year that has just past and a look ahead at what we may have in store over the next 12 months.

We kick things off with a look at the Whitecaps’ season, try and look at some highs after another disappointing year on the pitch, look at the players that came in and what we might see from them next season, delve into the off the pitch issues that surrounded the club, and ponder what may lie in store for 2021 in terms of performance, recruitment, and whether there will be much of a season at all after MLS invoked a force majeure clause as a final kick in the stanes to all the players.

We also take a general look at the sporting landscape in Canada and after a slew of awards ponder whether the game has grown more into the mainstream this past year.

We look at the latest coming from some of the leagues and governing bodies around the world as to what directions they’re looking at taking when games can return and we pick our new favourite team to follow, FK Slutsk of the Belarusian Premier League.

We chat with Vancouver Whitecaps CEO Mark Pannes to discuss how the Whitecaps and MLS have been handling the latest crisis, we check in with Whitecaps striker Lucas Cavallini to see how his family are dealing with everything right now and talk about the season so far, and we get on a conference call with former fan favourite Kendall Waston to see how life is treating him down in Cincinnati.

This break could actually prove to be very beneficial to the Whitecaps as it lets them get all their players fit, healthy, and up to speed. ‘Caps coach Marc Dos Santos joins us to chat about that, the season so far, whether the current situation affects any summer transfer plans, and he gives us an insight into what his new daily routine looks like.

We also sit down with FC Edmonton head coach Jeff Paulus for a detailed and in-depth chat about the first Canadian Premier League season, the growth of the game in Canada, how the Eddies have built their squad this year, and much more.

What's next for the club? There's a new manager coming in but do the changes need to go much deeper? Also what will he make of what happened and what he's coming in to and will he even have much of a squad to inherit?

With a number of player's futures very much up in the air, we look over a few and sit down with goalkeeper Spencer Richey after his return from a season long loan with FC Cincinnati.

We're focusing on the footballing aspects of it all in the latest AFTN Soccer Show, as we look back at the match that was the 1-1 draw between the 'Caps and FC Dallas on Saturday. A good result considering all the line-up issues and uncertainty?

We discuss that, who stood out, who didn't, the goals, the talking points, and more, plus we hear from Brek Shea [at 31:11] about the whirlwind Saturday he had.

We also hear from the Dallas side from defenders Matt Hedges and Atiba Harris [40:40] who talk about the match, and former Whitecap Harris chats a little bit about the new football club he's setting up in his native St Kitts and Nevis.

It's going to be a busy week for the 'Caps at all levels. Minnesota is next up for the MLS team, and we preview what that might look like [49:00], before turning our attention the Residency teams who head to the USSDA playoffs this week. We chat with experienced defender Pa Modou Kah [60:13], who's in charge of the U18 team this week, about his transition to coaching and the playoffs ahead, plus we hear from WFC2 head coach Rich Fagan [67:46], about what help his squad may provide for the team.

Turning our attentions down south, it was quite the week for former WFC2 and SFU Clan head coach Alan Koch, whose FC Cincinnati side beat MLS opposition in the US Open Cup and revealed their new stadium proposals, with an eye firmly on making the jump to Major League Soccer. We chat with Alan [73:49] about all that, his time with the 'Caps and SFU, and lots more.

And there's still time to chat about IFAB's new proposed rule changes to the game [92:46] and Half Man Half Biscuit feature again in this week's Wavelength section. [109:01]

We kick things off with an extensive chat with the Director of Business for the CPL, Paul Beirne, and we also hear the thoughts of long time league advocate Daniel Squizzato.

The league may still be at least a year away from starting but the supporters are already getting organised and fully behind it. With two cities already confirmed as having teams, Winnipeg and Hamilton, we chat to James Hutton from the latter's supporters group, the Barton St Battalion. And we also talk to James Covey from a supporters group hoping their city, Halifax, gets a club.

We also pay a visit to the Atlanta locker room and hear the postgame thoughts from Greg Garza, Michael Parkhurst, and Tyrone Mears, the latter of who also chats about his family being caught up in the Manchester bombing.

Sadly it's not all been good news for the 'Caps after crashing out of this year's Canadian Championship at the first hurdle. We look back at the loss in Montreal, wonder how seriously the club took it this year, and what it means in terms of money and playing time in the future.

Our player interview this week is with the Whitecaps new Australian winger Bernie Ibini, and there's still time to look at the season so far, which Whitecaps may head out on loan, this week's Twitter faux pas by the 'Caps, WFC2, and Vanilla Muffins feature in this week's Wavelength section.

After a tough four game road stretch, the 'Caps will be back at BC Place next weekend, returning with six points from 12, a new formation, and a lot more promise than how things were looking at the start of April. They may have lost on Friday night to Houston, but it was a good performance and they should be heading home now with a bit of a spring in their step. And they need to be, as there's a lot of hard work ahead for them if they are to stay in the playoff places.

We look back at the loss in Houston, what we learned from this road stretch on the whole, and look ahead to the next couple of matches coming up in both league and Cup action. Will the formation and line-up finally change? And where will new signing Bernie Ibini fit in to it all?

We dissect Vancouver Whitecaps' loss against the Portland Timbers. Was it the cliched game of two halves that it felt?

We also chat with Christian Bolanos, who had a poor first half display but was likely the best player on the pitch for the Whitecaps in the second half. It's an honest take after the game, and there may be a little frustration starting to show. See what you think.

The second half of the show kicks off with chat about Canada's bid to host the 2026 World Cup alongside the US and Mexico. Is it a fair bid? What will it mean for Canada's domestic game? And what may the tournament look like here?

With the Canadian Premier League set to start next year, we also chat about how that's shaping up and what we'd like to see from it. We also chat with TSS Rovers owners and coaches Colin Elmes and Will Cromack about why they chose to start a PDL team and whether we could see them move it to the Canadian PL one day.

All this and the Sultans of Ping FC return for our Wavelength section.

The 'Caps headed to Salt Lake City to face RSL, but were demolished in the terrible weather conditions by a team that always looked to be one step ahead of them. We look back at the main talking points to come out of that game and the midweek Champions League loss to Tigres.

Where do the 'Caps go from here? How urgent is their need for new faces before the transfer window closes? Are the injury and road stretch coming up going to do irreparable damage for the season? Is there concern about the 'Caps attendance at both MLS and USL levels? So much to discuss.

We look back on the 'Caps 4-2 win over LA Galaxy. The highs, the lows, and all the main talking points, blown calls, and questions the match posed. Have the 'Caps finally found their clinical finisher in Fredy Montero? Did the Kekuta Manneh trade finally give the rest of the squad the wake up call they needed? What does the addition of Tony Tchani mean to this team? And who was that in Mati Laba's shirt and what have you done with the real Mati?

We'll hear from the LA losers too, from grumpy head coach Curt Onalfo, Jermaine Jones, and Ashley Cole, as LA were (mostly) brutally honest about their shortcomings.

One player who never made it past half time was Erik Hurtado. We chat with the striker about his season so far and what it meant to him personally to lose his best friend in the team in Manneh.

Our main player interview this week is with Residency alumni Sam Adekugbe, back in Vancouver rehabbing the injury he picked up while on loan with Brighton and Hove Albion. We chat with Sam about his time with English Championship side so far, his current injury, his frustrations, and what the future may hold in store for him. Will it be in Canada or England?

And there's still time for I, Ludicrous to feature again in this week's Wavelength section and to look ahead to the CONCACAF Champions League semi-final at home to Tigres on Wednesday.

With no spark, no goals, little midfield creativity, and very little discipline, it's been a tough opening month that's seen the team clock up more red cards than league points. With pressure mounting, we look back at the last loss, a 2-0 home defeat to Toronto FC, and the main talking points from it.

We hear from 'Caps coach Carl Robinson and discuss some listeners tweets as the discontent in the fanbase grows.

We're also going to hear some postgame thoughts from former Whitecap Steven Beitashour for an exclusive chat about life in Toronto.

At the other end of the age scale, we sit down with veteran midfielder Christian Bolanos, about the season past, the season to come, and Costa Rica's recent heroics on the world stage.
