Episode 265 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Stinko de Mayo)
May 08, 2018 04:37 - 1 hour - 138 MBRemember when Vancouver Whitecaps were being lauded for their excellent road record? That seems so long ago now. Saturday's 1-0 loss in Minnesota was the third straight away defeat for the 'Caps. This one against an already undermanned team that played 40 minutes of the second half with ten men. Definitely a Cinco de Mayo to forget. We look back at the high and lows from the match, talk line-ups and formations, bring you our latest player rankings, and hear from both head coaches, Minnesot...
Episode 264 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Loony Tunes - Minnesota v Vancouver Preview)
May 03, 2018 18:25It wasn't pretty at times but Vancouver Whitecaps got back to winning ways last weekend against Real Salt Lake. Can they keep it going back on the road, and make it two straight wins as they head into Minnesota to take on the United Loons? Joe, Nick, and Gideon are back to look ahead to that Minnesota match and what to make of a United team that's had a very up and down season so far. How big a threat will Darwin Quintero be to the 'Caps defence and do they have any other one with all thei...
Episode 263 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Taps-Aff)
May 01, 2018 05:08 - 1 hour - 151 MBThe questions everyone wanted answered after last week's hammering in Kansas City was how would Vancouver Whitecaps' players react and what kind of mood would the fans be in. After a week building up to it, we got some answers at BC Place on Friday night. The Whitecaps got the job done against Real Salt Lake and came away with all three points, but it wasn't a performance for the ages against a pretty poor looking visiting side. Still, three points are three points and it ended the 'Caps t...
Episode 262 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Feeling Salty)
April 26, 2018 07:43 - 44 minutes - 61.2 MBFriday's match against Real Salt Lake isn't so much a must win for Vancouver Whitecaps, as a must not lose. A defeat would certainly pile pressure on beleaguered coach Carl Robinson, but it's not likely going to be the tipping point. This is very much an avoid defeat at all costs encounter, as the 'Caps try to put an end to their three game losing streak. Joe, Gideon, and Nick are back to look ahead to Friday's match at BC Place. Were lessons learned from the 2-1 loss in Utah just three we...
Episode 261 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Hit For Six)
April 23, 2018 22:43 - 1 hour - 159 MBIf last week was a bad weekend for Vancouver Whitecaps, this one was far worse. Not only did they lose 6-0 in Kansas City, seven of their Western rivals picked up three points and they fell out of the promotion places when you look at points per game. Clearly not the response sought or expected after the failings in the last two matches. We pick over carcass of that loss in KC and there's a lot to ponder. Where did it all go wrong and where does the team go from here? Team selection, tacti...
Episode 260 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Bring Me Sunshine - KC Preview Show with guest Johnny Russell)
April 19, 2018 06:31 - 57 minutes - 79.5 MBVancouver Whitecaps are back on the road again, so at least there's perhaps some hope of getting something out of this week's match! After two straight defeats can Carl Robinson find a band of sunshine for his squad in KC? Joe, Gideon, and Nick are back with AFTN's latest preview podcast. They'll look at the threat posed by Sporting Kansas City, what changes the Whitecaps might be looking to make, and how they see the game playing out. With Kei Kamara out for three weeks, how will Anthony ...
Episode 259 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Bad Weekend with guests Jordan Harvey and Russell Teibert)
April 16, 2018 23:51 - 2 hours - 165 MBSick of teams from LA yet? I know we are. LAFC came to BC Place on Friday night and fairly easily picked apart an uninspiring and disappointing Kamaraless Vancouver Whitecaps. We do some picking ourselves, as we pick over the bones of the 2-0 loss, ponder where it all went wrong, how it can be improved, can we cope without Kei, where's the creativity, and where do some players fit into this team. Plus we sit down for a chat with Russell Teibert and talk with Jordan Harvey about his homec...
Episode 258 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Coming Home - LAFC Preview Show)
April 12, 2018 08:06 - 42 minutes - 59 MBIt's Jordan Harvey night at BC Place on Friday! The former Whitecap returns to the place he has tattooed on himself but it will be many happy returns or a homecoming to forget? The Whitecaps are coming home themselves after a mixed couple of games on the road, hoping it won't be a case of Friday night frights under the Friday night lights. Joe, Gideon, and Nick are back with AFTN's latest preview podcast. They'll look at the threat posed by LAFC, what changes the Whitecaps might be looking...
Episode 257 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Salt Pinchers - RSL analysis)
April 10, 2018 01:59 - 1 hour - 142 MBDeath, taxes, the Whitecaps getting screwed by VAR, and being unable to break down a poor team. That's what feels inevitable in life right now. The 'Caps headed to RSL and it wasn't so much a case of the result being taken with a pinch of salt, but the Salty ones pinching a result. We pick over the bones of a poor outing in Utah, have a look at what went wrong in the 2-1 loss, and look at the individual performances of some of the 'Caps players and Robbo. We'll also look at the weekend's...
Episode 256 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Snowballs - RSL Preview Show)
April 05, 2018 19:29 - 44 minutes - 61.8 MBWhat's the difference between snowmen and snowwomen? Snowballs. What's the difference between Vancouver Whitecaps April trip to play Real Salt Lake and last years? Snowballs. What a difference a year makes. When the 'Caps headed to Sandy, Utah around this time last season, the pitch was unplayable, covered in snow, and players were throwing snowballs at each other. This time around it's going to be rainy and in the mid teens temperature wise. The 'Caps will also be hoping for a different ...
Episode 255 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Crew Cut - Columbus Postgame Show)
April 02, 2018 21:29 - 1 hour - 159 MBIf the Crew do end up leaving Columbus this offseason, it's likely Vancouver Whitecaps will be the saddest team to see them go. Saturday's win for the 'Caps made it four straight victory in Columbus. We clearly enjoy being there, even if the Crew owners don't. We look back at all the main talking points from the Whitecaps come from behind win, hear from head coaches Gregg Berhalter and Carl Robinson, and look at what players excelled and which ones didn't. We'll also look at the weekend'...
Episode 254 - The AFTN Soccer Show (So Solid Crew? - Columbus Preview Show with guest Jordon Mutch)
March 30, 2018 00:30 - 57 minutes - 79.1 MBLet's just forget last week's game against LA Galaxy. We'll put it down to the Vancouver Whitecaps disease of struggling against weakened teams. They always seems to do better against the better ones, so at least that gives some home ahead of a trip to the Eastern Conference leading Columbus Crew. Joe Deasy, Gideon Hill, and Nicolaas Rupprecht preview the match, looking at what we can expect from a fired up Crew side. What will the Whitecaps look like? Can they break down a team that doesn'...
Episode 253 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Creatively Juiced with guests Jose Aja and Mark-Anthony Kaye)
March 26, 2018 21:02 - 1 hour - 159 MBIt's good to have constants in your life, right? When a weakened team comes to B.C. Place, Vancouver Whitecaps fail to rise to the occasion seems to be one of those, and it was the same again on Saturday night when a highly depleted LA Galaxy side came and left with a point in a 0-0 draw. We pick over the bones of that game and individual performances, and hear from Galaxy head coach Sigi Schmid and 'Caps coach Carl Robinson. Plus we look back at the Whitecaps report card on the squad four...
Episode 252 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Depleted and Defeated? - LA Galaxy Preview Show with guest Josh Guesman)
March 22, 2018 20:00 - 57 minutes - 78.4 MBVancouver Whitecaps' record against LA Galaxy hasn't been too shabby these past couple of seasons. Gone is the MLS Cup Galaxy team to be feared, and it feels like last season, their worst in their history, was a rebuilding one that went horribly wrong from the outset. Is Sigi Schmid going to turn them around this season? They've a win and a loss under their belts so far and head to BC Place on Saturday night to take on a Whitecaps side looking to secure their best ever start to a MLS seaso...
Episode 251 - The AFTN Soccer Show (A Week To Forget)
March 19, 2018 18:03 - 2 hours - 177 MBIt's not been a great week to be a football fan in Vancouver. First it was announced that the city won't be hosting any matches if the bid for the 2026 World Cup is successful, then the Whitecaps were Elfathed in Houston, going down a man and to a 4-1 defeat. We're joined in the studio by Joe Deasy and Gideon Hill to chat about both of those topics, but there's some good news too as we reveal the first 18 names on the 2018 TSS Rovers PDL roster with head coaches Colin Elmes and Will Cromac...

March 15, 2018 19:38 - 40 minutes - 55.8 MBVancouver Whitecaps' perfect season is still on! Two games. Two wins. Can it get any better?! They're going to have a tough time maintaining that 100% start this week though, with big spending Atlanta United their next foes.
