Cpl Drama

We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian Premier League chat.The Whitecaps unveiled their new head coach, Jesper Sorensen last week. We look at our initial impressions of the Dane from what was said and the lack of additions to the 'Caps squad. Maybe the new MLS roster rules will help the Whitecaps bolster their numbers. We delve into the new cash trade mechanism in the league and the new off-roster homegrown rules, plus we get the thoughts of Vancouver CEO and Sporting Director Axel Schuster on it all.Turning our attention to the CPL, Vancouver's roster has been decimated by the retiral of Ben Fisk, the release of players, and the pending transfers of a couple of young starlets. It's early days, but they need a big rebuild, something provincial rivals Pacific are starting to do nicely, with a couple of familiar faces set to return. We chat about all of that plus the drama out east at Forge over Beni Badibanga.All of this plus Hot Chocolate Boy returns, the Rakes continue as Album of the Month and we've another Wavelength song to honour the recent passing of the legendary Scot, Denis Law.Here’s the rundown for the main segments from the episode:01.28: Intro - beavers, cereals, and podcast places08.16: Hot Chocolate Boy - Melt Confectionary and To Live For19.02: MLS roster changes and the thoughts of Axel Schuster35.05: Cash transfers now possible in MLS47.55: New MLS Homegrown off-roster improvements60.30: The short lived Anderson Duarte rumour63.30: Jesper Sorensen introduced - initial thoughts77.15: Retiral, releases, and transfers decimate Vancouver FC roster114.50: An old CPL face set to return, as a current one refuses to125.00: Wavelength - The Men They Couldn't Hang - Denis Law and Ali McGraw
