Cpl Championship

We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat.The MLS playoffs are underway and the Whitecaps will be very glad it's a best of three series after self-destructing defensively at set pieces to be on the wrong end of a 5-2 defeat at LAFC. We look back at the game, the positives Vancouver can very much take from it, and look ahead at what is to possibly come between the two teams.Our feature interview this episode is with Vancouver FC captain Callum Irving, as we talk about the difficult first season for the club in the CPL, Callum's journey from the Whitecaps academy to where he is today, that MLS draft day, winning his first championship, and more.Keeping the CPL chat going, we look at the League's end of season awards, where Cavalry pretty much swept the board. Should the Whitecaps be swooping in for Daan Klomp? Plus we look back at Saturday's dramatic CPL championship game and chat about the offseason rebuild of Vancouver FC, where some players are on their way out and some exciting trialists were given a look last week in a couple of friendly matches.All of that and Italian gothic post-punk band They Die wrap up their residency as our Artists of the Month.Here’s the rundown for the main segments from the episode:01.55: Intro - a Saturday to forget apart from UBC, hairy weiners, RIP Matthew Perry14.05: Whitecaps ship five in LA but they're only 1-0 down!60.08: Callum Irving interview and discussion96.52: Cavalry dominate CPL awards - should the 'Caps swoop in?110.13: CPL Commissioner talked VAR and expansion115.17: Forge are CPL champions - again131.20: Vancouver FC already in 2024 preparation mode146.12: Wavelength - Neil Grant - We're LA!

Things are getting spooky at AFTN Towers as we're back with a (somewhat) Halloween themed episode and lots of Vancouver Whitecaps, MLS, and CPL chat. We start things of in the Canadian Premier League as we look back at the historic and controversial first leg of the first eve championship game and hear the post game thoughts of Cavalry FC's Tommy Wheeldon Jr and Forge's Bobby Smyrniotis. The Whitecaps are next up as we take a look at the striker situation at the club, ponder where it all went wrong, and what may lie in store. Plus we sit down for an in-depth chat with Fredy Montero about the season just past and how he may or may not fit in to MDS' plans moving forward. Staying in MLS, we talk playoffs, looking back at some action packed semi-finals in the Western and Eastern Conferences and look ahead to this week's finals. Plus there's some wonderful LA derby postgame chat from Zlatan Ibrahimovic being the Zlatan we know and love!
