December 17, 2018 22:59 - 1 hour - 165 MBIt's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas, and Vancouver Whitecaps are fully embracing the gift of giving sending players all over the place in MLS. We look at the big Whitecaps news of the week as Kei Kamara, Kendall Waston, Erik Hurtado head to pastures new, Andy Rose comes in, and the 'Caps squad has lost 18 of the 31 players that were part of the MLS squad this year, with more likely. We also cover the big Ottawa Fury non-sanctioning story of the week and hear from OSEG CEO Mark Go...

December 11, 2018 04:36 - 2 hours - 180 MBDig out the Buckfast, it's Giro Day in Whitecapsland. Marc Dos Santos said he was planning on being "very active" in the MLS trade window and he was true to his word. We look over the moves made and discuss some that may be still to come, as the new 'Caps coach rebuilds the squad. Plus we hear a little bit from MLS Commissioner Don Garber's 'State of the League' address. Does he have a pop at the Whitecaps ownership? Judge for yourselves. We'll also look at what MLS midfielders and for...

December 03, 2018 11:49 - 2 hours - 176 MBOffseason. What offseason? It's a busy time in Whitecapsland and in the world of MLS and Canadian football in general, and we've got it all covered as usual in this week's episode. As the 'Caps and others in MLS revealed which player options were and weren't picked up, we look at what Vancouver players will likely be here next season and which ones definitely won't. Are those not coming back more telling of the kind of team Marc Dos Santos wants to build rather than those that are? Plus Ru...
Episode 310 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Simple Things with guest Kei Kamara)
November 27, 2018 01:46 - 1 hour - 151 MBThe end of November. A time of the year in MLS in which the losers cut their loss and the final four standing make a push for glory. Once again Vancouver Whitecaps fall into the former category. One year things may be different. Maybe next year! But all we're left with this time around it to look back at what could have been, so to do that we kick off our Whitecaps Year In Review with an analysis of what went wrong and what went right during preseason. How much hope did you come away with?...
Episode 309 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Building An Empire with guest Brett Levis)
November 19, 2018 22:48 - 2 hours - 182 MBAfter a busy, and dramatic, couple of weeks, it's been a chance for everyone in Whitecapsland to catch their breath, and take time to reflect on the season past and the season yet to come. It also finally gives us the chance to kick off our AFTN awards season, and we're joined by Joe Deasy to kick this week's show off with a look at who we feel are Vancouver Whitecaps' Player and Young Player of the Year, and chat what we think are the 'Caps Goal, Game, Save, and Miss of the Year. After ...
Episode 308 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Dawning Of A New Era with special guest Marc Dos Santos)
November 13, 2018 00:03 - 2 hours - 178 MBThe Marc Dos Santos era in Vancouver has begun. We look back at the week that was in Whitecapsland and some of the main talking points to come out of his introductory press conference. Plus we sit down with the new Whitecaps head coach for an entertaining and enlightening half hour chat about how he sees the 'Caps progressing, how he likes to play, his beliefs, attitudes, and footballing philosophies. Plus there's MLS, Canadian Premier League, and Canadian national team chat, and we look...
Episode 307a - The AFTN Soccer Show (** REUPLOAD ** Divided We Fall with guests Spencer Richey, Efrain Juarez, and Felipe)
November 06, 2018 16:49 - 2 hours - 200 MB*** Some listeners have had a problem downloading Episode 307 with only the first 27 minutes coming through. We've tried a reload to see if this helps. If you already have episode 307, this is just a repeat *** Ah, the offseason. A quiet time for reflection and fun and games on the show. Or so we hoped. But nothing could have prepared us for the Vancouver Whitecaps bloodletting that took place at the club's end of season media day last Tuesday. We look back at all the big talking points ...
Episode 307 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Divided We Fall with guests Spencer Richey, Efrain Juarez, and Felipe)
November 06, 2018 02:06 - 2 hours - 200 MBAh, the offseason. A quiet time for reflection and fun and games on the show. Or so we hoped. But nothing could have prepared us for the Vancouver Whitecaps bloodletting that took place at the club's end of season media day last Tuesday. We look back at all the big talking points from the Whitecaps' very own red wedding. Is there a locker room divide? Is there a culture problem at the club? Who's to blame? Plus we play you the thoughts of veteran Mexican midfielder Efrain Juarez on it all....
Episode 306 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Auf Wiedersehen, Pet with guests Alphonso Davies, Jordon Mutch, and Simon Colyn)
October 29, 2018 21:42 - 2 hours - 180 MBIt's the end of the season and the end of an, albeit short, era as Vancouver Whitecaps 2018 MLS season came to an end on Sunday and Alphonso Davies said goodbye to the club, the fans, and the city as he gets set to head off to Europe to join Bayern Munich. We look back at the emotional day that was but also the frustration that was left behind with the final standings that saw the 'Caps finish just two points, and one win, away from a playoff spot. How close were Vancouver in reality and d...
Episode 305 - The AFTN Soccer Show (It's Over Now)
October 22, 2018 20:26 - 1 hour - 140 MBAll good things come to an end. And so do bad things thankfully. Whatever Vancouver Whitecaps 2018 MLS season was, their playoff hopes were finally ended this weekend after two varying performances against teams at the top end of the Western Conference. We look back at the week that was. The collapse and defeat to Sporting KC, the fighting back draw against LAFC, and some of the headscratching decisions that happened over the 180 minutes. So where did it all go wrong for the Whitecaps th...
Episode 304 - The AFTN Soccer Show (From The Ashes - Whitecaps v KC preview, Canadian national teams, Can PL, Crew Saved)
October 16, 2018 00:27 - 1 hour - 147 MBWith Michael sick, that can only mean one thing, yup, the music selection is not as good in this week's show. Or better. You decide! Steve and Zach look ahead to Vancouver Whitecaps crucial MLS clash with Sporting KC on Wednesday, with lots of chat on the Canadian men's and women's national team, the Canadian Premier League, The Crew being saved, and lots more. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show: 03.05: Whitecaps Chat - KC preview, development team 29.20:...
Episode 303 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Thankfully Staying Alive)
October 08, 2018 21:43 - 1 hour - 148 MBVancouver Whitecaps stayed alive in the playoff race this weekend, coming away from Toronto with what has to be said was an unexpected 2-1 victory and ending TFC's postseason hopes in the process. We look back at that win, hear from Craig Dalrymple, and see how the run-in and playoff scenario is looking now for the Whitecaps and those above them. There's also some Canada national team talk, a discussion on what the Whitecaps identity should be under their new coach, and some general Than...
Episode 302 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Wake Me Up When October Ends)
October 01, 2018 22:11 - 2 hours - 174 MBIt's been an eventful week for Vancouver Whitecaps, albeit not the kind of headlines the club would be hoping they'd be making at this point of the season. Carl Robinson's departure was a look to the future for the 'Caps, but if anyone thought it was going to have an immediate impact on the present, Saturday's loss to the LA Galaxy quickly dispelled those thoughts. We look back on the week that was, talking some more about Robbo's release and who the prime candidates are to take over fro...
Episode 301 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Back To Basics with guests Craig Dalrymple, Stefan Marinovic, and Marvin Emnes)
September 27, 2018 19:41 - 44 minutes - 60.8 MBThe Carl Robinson era is over at Vancouver Whitecaps. He's certainly left an admirable legacy behind but it's time to get back to basics for the remainder of this season before the club heads into its most important offseason in their time in MLS. We look back at Robbo's sacking, the timing of it, what it means for the future, and especially how it may play out for the rest of this season. We also sit down for a chat with new, interim head coach, and a man we've known well for a number of ...
Episode 300 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Same Again - Vancouver v Dallas, Rahul Kholi, Jay Nolly) [NSFW]
September 25, 2018 03:53 - 2 hours - 180 MBWhat a weekend this could have been. Once again Vancouver Whitecaps had other results go in their favour and once again they failed to get the job done themselves. "Same again" said Carl Robinson, "not again" said the supporters. So our 300th episode isn't quite the celebratory start we'd hoped for as we pick over the bones of the 'Caps defeat to FC Dallas, but the fun soon starts to pick up after that! We have two interviews to bring you this week. First off all it's a blast from the pa...
Episode 299 - The AFTN Soccer Show (No Room For Error - Vancouver v Dallas preview show)
September 21, 2018 22:35 - 47 minutes - 53.9 MBLast week's loss to Seattle hit Vancouver Whitecaps' playoff hopes hard, but they're still hovering around the playoff line, albeit underneath it, as second placed FC Dallas come to town on Sunday. Joe, Nick, and Gideon look ahead to the match in this week's preview podcast. Can they bounce back from last week's loss? Are they meeting Dallas at the right time after their own mini dip in form? And is there really hope of the playoffs or are we simply grasping at a fantasy? There's a lot o...
Episode 298 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Fire Up The Bat Signal with guests Don Garber and Aly Ghazal)
September 17, 2018 20:49 - 2 hours - 178 MBFire up the bat signal as Vancouver Whitecaps are going to need the help of a superhero or two if they want to get into the MLS playoffs. Or at least that's how it's looking after the 'Caps big 2-1 loss to Cascadian rivals Seattle Sounders on Saturday night. Joe Deasy joins us to look back on the game, all the big talking points to come out of it, and we hear from both head coaches. We also sit down with Whitecaps midfielder Aly Ghazal to talk about his, and the 'Caps', season so far and...
Episode 297 - The AFTN Soccer Show (All Or Nothing - Vancouver v Seattle preview show)
September 13, 2018 20:07 - 47 minutes - 53.9 MBLast year's playoff series with Seattle Sounders was a massive letdown for Vancouver Whitecaps supporters. The team's performance over the two legs was simply not good enough, and the lack of attacking desire in the home leg in particular was a major disappointment. The two teams meet at BC Place this weekend for the first time since that match, and for the second time this season. When the sides clashed in Seattle in July, the 'Caps kickstarted an eight-match unbeaten streak for the Sound...
Episode 296 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Crossroads with guests Scott Arfield and Tony Waiters)
September 10, 2018 22:15 - 2 hours - 167 MBThe international break affords Vancouver Whitecaps a bye week, but there's no rest for us as we bring you another packed episode. The break gives us a chance to look ahead at what the Whitecaps squad could and should look like next season, as the team approaches their most important offseason in the MLS era. We've got two in-depth interviews with you this week, the first is with Canadian national team captain Scott Arfield, as he chats about international life and his big move to Ranger...
Episode 295 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Keeping It Tight with guests Chris Wondolowski, Felipe, Marcel de Jong, and Caleb Clarke)
September 04, 2018 01:26 - 1 hour - 158 MBVancouver Whitecaps' playoff dreams are still alive. Likely looking in better shape than many people's underwear in the closing moments of their match with San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday, but only just. Joe Deasy joins us in the studio this week to look over the Quakes match and what it might mean for the rest of the season as we break down every MLS Western team's run-in. Plus all the talking points to come from the game, we hear from both head coaches, and look at the week's other big ...
Episode 294 - The AFTN Soccer Show (The State That We Are In)
August 28, 2018 00:57 - 2 hours - 166 MBAt half time on Saturday, it felt like a seismic shift in Vancouver Whitecaps' season lay in store. By full time, it may have been a result that does that but in a completely opposite way. Trailing 2-0 to the worst team in all of MLS, the 'Caps dug deep and pulled out a 3-2 come from behind victory in San Jose. Is this a major mental turning point of their season or just another struggle against a poor team, albeit one that ended with three points for once? We look at that and all the othe...
Episode 293 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Tremors - San Jose v Vancouver preview show)
August 24, 2018 00:58 - 42 minutes - 58.5 MBIt feels that the plates are moving in Whitecaps land. Tremors are being felt. The big one is coming. Amongst it all, the 'Caps are still fighting for a playoff place. Next up for Vancouver is a trip to San Jose to face the team with the worst record in all of MLS. It's a place where the Whitecaps have yet to win, but surely they need to take all six points against a poor Earthquakes side to realistically still be in with a shot of making the postseason. Can they though? Joe and Nick pon...
Episode 292 - The AFTN Soccer Show (A Load Of Bull - Whitecaps v RBNY analysis, Tim Parker, Defensive struggles, Southsiders mess)
August 21, 2018 02:21 - 2 hours - 175 MBFrom the highs of Portland to the lows of Toronto. It had been a busy and mixed few days for Vancouver Whitecaps. A lot of ups and a lot of downs, so it was perhaps only expected that we got both of those in the 'Caps 2-2 draw with New York Red Bulls on Saturday. Depending on your glass half full/empty attitude to the 'Caps this season, this was either a battling point against one of the best teams in MLS this year, or two crucial points blown by an avoidable late goal. We take a look back...
Episode 291 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Streaky Breakin' - Timbers v Whitecaps analysis, TFC preview, Stefan Marinovic)
August 13, 2018 09:45 - 2 hours - 180 MBBig games require big performances with big moments. If Vancouver Whitecaps' showing in Portland this weekend is an indication, then the team look to have the stomach for the battle ahead. There's a lot to talk about and we have five of AFTN's finest to do just that, all of them from various places around Cascadia. With Steve home alone in upper Cascadia, and Zach stuck with a broken down car in middle Cascadia, Michael joins on the phone from the lower Cascadia coast to look back at the '...
Episode 290 - The AFTN Soccer Show (A Storm In A V Cup - TFC postgame and Timbers preview show)
August 10, 2018 01:10 - 1 hour - 70.5 MBVancouver Whitecaps' cups runneth over right now. Not only are they right in the middle of a tantalizingly balance Voyageurs Cup final with Toronto FC, but there's the small matter of a Cascadia Cup game down in Portland on Saturday. Joe and Nick look back at the night that was that Canadian Championship first leg. The highs, the lows, the even lower still. It was an evening of goals, stupid defending, and a referee taking centre stage. Oh Canada indeed. Then they turn their attention to...
Episode 289 - The AFTN Soccer Show (No Room For Error)
August 06, 2018 09:49 - 1 hour - 159 MBAugust certainly feels like it could be a decisive month in terms of determining how successful we'll look back at Vancouver Whitecaps' 2018 season. It's started well. The 'Caps fielded an understrength side and took a point at New York City. Normally that would be considered a great result, and while good, it only saw them slip further behind in the chase for the playoffs. We look back at the match, hear from both head coaches, and delve into some individual player performances. We also...
Episode 288 - The AFTN Soccer Show (A Puliser Prize - NYCFC v Vancouver Preview Show)
August 02, 2018 20:01 - 53 minutes - 61.3 MBThere's no rest for the wicked. Vancouver Whitecaps are in the midst of their toughest spell of the season with games coming thick and fast in both MLS and the Canadian Championship. The Whitecaps head to New York City on Saturday with the first leg of this year's Voyageurs Cup final coming up next Wednesday at home to Toronto firmly in their minds. Joe and Nick look ahead to the match with NYC. Can we expect mass rotation from Vancouver? Just what will that look like? And is there any e...
Episode 287 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Alphonso Über Alles - Whitecaps v Minnesota, Davies to Bayern, Doneil Henry interview)
July 30, 2018 19:43 - 2 hours - 177 MBWhat a dream week it's been for Alphonso Davies. Bayern Munich will be his new home come January and Vancouver Whitecaps fans should be in for a fun ride to end his time here if his performance in Saturday's win over Minnesota is any indication. Two goals and two assists. A true Canadian double double. To celebrate we're bring you a German themed episode this week (well sort of) as we delve into Davies' transfer to the Bundesliga champions and what that may mean for the future of the White...
Episode 286 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Darwinism - Vancouver v Minnesota Preview Show)
July 27, 2018 05:57 - 52 minutes - 60.4 MBIt's a grueling time for Vancouver Whitecaps. Three matches in eight days, with two of them in the space of four days, all of them crucial for how the season could play out, and it's sweltering hot outside. This will test a lot about the current 'Caps squad. After a gutless performance in Seattle, and a battling midweek one against Montreal to reach the Canadian Championship final, which Whitecaps team will we see turn up to take on an in-form Minnesota United side this weekend? Will the...
Episode 285 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Seattle Flannel - Sounders v Whitecaps, Davies transfer talk, Whitecaps' woes, Can PL, Josh Simpson, David Clanachan)
July 23, 2018 20:43 - 2 hours - 170 MBIn been a busy week in Whitecapsland. Has Alphonso Davies played his last match as a 'Cap? How will the team spend their DAM (Davies Allocation Money)? Will they win another game this season? So much to talk about and we have it all for you in the latest episode of the AFTN Soccer Show. We look back at the lows and lows from the Whitecaps' 2-0 defeat to the Sounders and hear from Carl Robinson after the Seattle match as he talks about the loss, the continued indiscipline in the team, what ...
Episode 284 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Cups Runneth Over - Seattle v Vancouver Preview Show)
July 20, 2018 03:33 - 43 minutes - 39.6 MBTwo Cup matches in four days. Three in eight. Usually that would be a yes please from us, but with Vancouver Whitecaps in a bit of a slump after three defeats in their last four matches, we're at what feels like a crucial turning point in the 'Caps season. Will they be able to follow the right path to success or does a trip to a witch in a gingerbread house await? With Joe away on baby daddy duty (sidenote - the 'Caps haven't won a match since the kid was born. Not saying he's a jinx, but....
Episode 283 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Capital Punishment - DC v Vancouver analysis, World Cup, Dale Mitchell, Colin Elmes)
July 16, 2018 21:28 - 2 hours - 141 MBVancouver Whitecaps' seesaw of a season continued this past weekend as they went down to a 3-1 loss at the hands of D.C. United in the US capital. We analyse the main talking points to come out of the game, hear from 'Caps coach Carl Robinson, and ponder where the team can go from here. We also look ahead to the midweek Canadian Championship semi-final in Montreal and get some thoughts from Whitecaps President Bob Lenarduzzi on how the club view the Voyageurs Cup. Plus a look at the weeken...
Episode 282 - The AFTN Soccer Show (First Big Weekend featuring Bastian Schweinsteiger, Stefan Marinovic, Vancouver v Chicago analysis, and World Cup chat)
July 09, 2018 22:36 - 2 hours - 177 MBJust like a never ending game of snakes and ladders, Vancouver Whitecaps got themselves off a two match slippery slope, finding a rung to take their trajectory upwards again in a match between two teams that feel like they would struggle to find consistency in the dictionary. Chicago Fire came to town and left on the end of 3-2 victory for Vancouver. We look back at the highs and lows of the match and the players' performances, hear from both head coaches, Chicago's Veljko Paunović and Van...
Episode 281 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Fire Starters - Vancouver v Chicago Preview Show)
July 06, 2018 02:12 - 43 minutes - 59.2 MBWho's up for some Whitecaps action on the day of two World Cup quarter-finals? Well there's a World Cup winner coming to town as Bastian Schweinsteiger's Chicago Fire head to BC Place. Gideon and Nick look ahead to the match. Can the Whitecaps bounce back after their disappointing defeat to Colorado? Will Yordy Reyna come straight back into the team? What threat do an inconsistent Chicago pose the 'Caps? All that and more, plus a some World Cup chat thrown into the mix as well. Have a ...
Episode 280 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Kicky Kicky Kick Kick - Vancouver v Colorado analysis, Kendall Waston, Tim Howard, World Cup chat)
July 03, 2018 03:48 - 2 hours - 176 MBVancouver Whitecaps must be wishing that the World Cup "break" was still going on. I know we do! Two defeats in two matches against two lowly teams has derailed all the good work done before the break and put the Whitecaps playoff hopes very much in trouble as they slip further behind in the points per game standings. We look back at Vancouver's Canada Day defeat at home to Colorado Rapids. What went wrong? How much of it was on the 'Caps and how much was down to the play of the visitors...
Episode 279 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Sideshow Meh - Vancouver v Colorado Preview Show)
June 28, 2018 19:50 - 44 minutes - 61.8 MBLet's be honest, is anyone really all that excited about watching MLS matches when the World Cup is on? It was bad enough last week when Vancouver Whitecaps put in one of their worst performances of the season as they lost in Philadelphia. Now they have one of the worst teams in MLS this year coming to BC Place on Canada Day. Joe and Gideon look ahead to the match, discussing such things as what threat Colorado pose Vancouver, whether the Rapids have turned things around after last week's ...
Episode 278 - The AFTN Soccer Show (The Spice Of Life with guest Rob Friend)
June 25, 2018 18:29 - 2 hours - 167 MBVariety is the spice of life. Or say they say. Hopefully it is as we have a variety of subjects to cover in the latest episode of the AFTN Soccer Show. We kick things off in MLS by looking at the disaster that was Vancouver Whitecaps trip to Philadelphia. What went wrong? Were there any positives to take from such a result? Was this just a bad day at the office or something more troubling? All that is covered and more, plus we hear from both head coaches, Philadelphia's Jim Curtin and Vanc...
Episode 277 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Unionization - Philadelphia v Vancouver Preview Show)
June 21, 2018 20:15 - 43 minutes - 59.1 MBVancouver Whitecaps are back from their World Cup break (aka a regular bye week). Maybe you're needing your own World Cup break after the feast of football these past eight days. Either way, we're back with our latest preview show setting up the 'Caps trip to Philadelphia on Saturday. Joe, Nick, and Gideon look ahead to what may lie in store during the match. Will the Whitecaps change a winning formula and line up? What kind of threat do the Union pose? Can Vancouver get their points per g...

We kick things off with big news of the week for Canadian fans and that is the successful bid to bring the 2026 World Cup to North American shores. Not Vancouver, but we can still rejoice right? Plus we talk World Cup memories and hopes, and look through some old Panini sticker albums, wi...
Episode 275 - The AFTN Soccer Show (System Addict with guests Stefan Marinovic, Simon Colyn, and Marco Carducci)
June 12, 2018 04:40 - 2 hours - 171 MBVancouver Whitecaps head into their bye week (call it what it is) unbeaten in six and starting to find some attacking form. The defence is still looking a bit dodgy and they still struggle at times when they have a man advantage, but there's a lot more optimistic feel around the place than it was perhaps a month ago. We look back at the 'Caps five star win over Orlando on Saturday - the highs, the lows, and how some of the players are shaping up at this near midway point of the season. We ...
Episode 274 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Horseplay with guests Tommy Wheeldon Jr and Will Cromack)

Episode 272 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Quick On The Draw - Colorado v Vancouver Preview Show)
May 31, 2018 07:33 - 45 minutes - 62.9 MBVancouver Whitecaps are only two more draws away from equaling the MLS record of six straight games sharing the points. Three more and they set a new record. Come on boys, you can do it. Let's go out there and make some history! There's every chance they'll inch closer to it on Friday when they travel to the Rocky Mountain state, not for chocolate covered cravings but to take on Colorado Rapids in MLS action. The Rapids are bad this year. If the Whitecaps can't beat them, do they deserve...
Episode 271 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Déjà Vu Again - Vancouver v New England analysis, MLS and Canadian PL chat)
May 28, 2018 19:42 - 2 hours - 123 MBAnother week, another draw, another week, another match of individual errors, another week, another game of frustration. Welcome to Vancouver Whitecaps World 2018. Strap yourselves in, it's a bumpy ride. The 'Caps made it four draws in a row on Saturday at home to New England.

They don't want to change the world, they're just looking at New England, but they have been buoyed by the 'Caps late dramatic draw in Dallas. Will it be four draws on the bounce or can the Whitecaps finally snap out of their disappointing home form and get back to winning ways? ...
Episode 269 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Never Say Dai - Dallas v Vancouver analysis, Marcel de Jong and Kekuta Manneh interviews, Canadian PL chat)
May 21, 2018 22:23 - 2 hours - 189 MBIt's a long weekend, so we have an extra long episode of the AFTN Soccer Show for you as we took over the airwaves at CiTR radio for two and a half hours on Sunday night. Vancouver Whitecaps showed a never say die spirit in Dallas on Saturday afternoon (or should that be Dai with a Welshman in charge?), fighting back from 2-0 down to score a couple of very late goals to earn the unlikeliest of points.
