Joe Devine is joined by Alex Stewart to discuss zonal and man marking. From Helenio Herrera to Tony Pulis; defending is often seen as dull. But when you take a closer look at the complexities of defensive systems, you’ll find artistry on par with the attacking game. Zonal vs Man Marking - https://youtu.be/BLMhylkO2eo Hosted on Acast.

We just learned that Borussia Dortmund's team bus suffered an attack by explosive and after we learned that no life was lost and there were no serious injuries, our obvious question was, "Is Pulisic okay?" Lil baby Pulisic has to be happy and healthy so he can help America win a World Cup.

Just when you thought the Snowpocalypse had left Vancouver, the Whitecaps went to the Snowpocalypse. 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. And The Business are featured in this week's Wavelength section. Have a listen!

SEGMENT ONE: Recapping Crew SC vs. Orlando City, Cracking the Code, and Man Balls. SEGMENT TWO: Celebrity Fan AGS Attack stops by for the worst segment in ACES Radio history. SEGMENT THREE: Battle for The Grand Prize, Prediction recap, Previewing Crewzers FC at Bridgeview Fire

Has the doom and gloom been lifted in Whitecapsland? Well, just as one swallow doesn't make a summer, one victory doesn't mean Vancouver Whitecaps have turned their season around. But it's a promising sign. 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. Have a listen!

The USMNT delivered a clear message to the rest of CONCACAF that Jurgen Klinsmann was not a good step-dad and Bruce Arena is our real dad. USA defeated Honduras 6-0 and now all is well and we no longer have to worry about America making the World Cup, right?
