April 03, 2023 04:33 - 1 hour - 148 MBWe’re back with another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian football chat. What a fantastic weekend of football it has been.

The AFTN Soccer Show is back with our first show of 2023, so there's no better time to kick off our year end reviews and year to come previews, starting with a Vancouver Whitecaps focused show. 2022 was certainly a bit of a mixed bag for the Whitecaps both on and off the pitch. It felt in many ways a season of regression. Can they advance again in 2023 and can they take the great leap forward that they really need to do after 12 fairly mediocre MLS seasons to date?...
