The bulk of this podcast is a discussion of the decisions facing Berhalter with World Cup qualifying thrown into uncertainty, and a run-down of what we’ve learned from the Bundesliga.

That was the week that was, it's over, let it go. So went the opening lyrics to the 1960s satirical BBC show That Was The Week That Was, or TW3 as it was more succinctly known. And it's been a quiet week in the North American footballing landscape. That gives us the chance to trial a new format I've been keen to try, combining two shows I love - TW3 and AIOTM on AFTN. What could go wrong?! We'll be breaking down the week's Whitecaps, MLS, and CPL news as the days played out, and throw in a few fun bits as well. Let us know if you like it. But we also continue our new section to pick our Whitecaps of the decade, looking at the defence and picking our starting right back, left back, and two centre backs. Let us know if you agree. Plus The Cockney Rejects are back in Wavelength, The New Royal Family begin their residency as our artists of the month for December, and there's BC Soccerweb headlines. Here's the rundown for the main segments from the episode:06.46: Monday - waivers, midfielders, and Jon Erice13.53: Tuesday - CPL awards, Champions League face offs, and top clubs in the world33.32: Wednesday - free agents, returning Whitecaps you'd welcome back, and Canada Soccer awards55.24: Thursday - giving thanks and Canada's Hex dreams65.40: Friday and the weekend - FA Cup and cup football in Canada, football streaming services, and future fixtures92.55: Whitecaps of the Decade - the back four121.15: Wavelength - The Cockney Rejects - Chapecocense126.35: BC Soccerweb headlines - news stories from around the world of football
