We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and World Cup chat and interviews. It was another derby day out for the Whitecaps this weekend and another victory as the Timbers were cut down to size in Portland. We pick over the bones of the game, the big talking points coming out of it, and hear some interesting postgame comments from Portland head coach Phil Neville. We also round-up the weekend's action around the MLS West, see how the battle of the Canadian keepers played out this week, and look ahead to the Whitecaps' big Champions Cup clash with Seattle this week. Our feature interview this week is a special one as we catch up with former Whitecaps winger Ali Ahmed to chat about his move to Norwich, settling in with the Canaries and into English football, and look back fondly at his time in Vancouver and the excellent season both he and the team had last year. All of this plus we talk about some of the big questions hanging over this year's World Cup, look at the recently announced travel and FanFest logistics in Vancouver, and we move onto the letter K in our Canadian Soccer A to Z series.

Vancouver Whitecaps v LAFC and Orlando; Max Crepeau, Marc Dos Santos, Steven Beitashour interviews.

VAR has certainly given us a lot to talk about on the show this year, but at some stage we just want it to stop. As Vancouver Whitecaps lost more points after a video review, we look back at the draw in Chicago on Friday night and the good, the bad, and the ugly things to come out of the game. We hear from both head coaches and look at what, if anything, the 'Caps can do to quickly turn their fortunes around.
