Team Performance

Brazil and Italy had succeeded to meet the deed in 1958 and 1968 when Brazil took two consecutive World Cups and so did Italy in 1934 and 1938 but a ....

There are bigger problems in the world, but two very depressed Mikes reflect on the utter calamity that crashed with a hollow thud in Trinidad and Tobago and cannot be ignored. What's the USMNT doing wrong? What could it be doing right? Is there a manager out there who makes more sense than others? Will the USSF go that direction, or do something disappointingly predictable? How do you organize the narratives floating around this mess? And if you're tired of thinking about it, they cleanse th...

Being or not a Liverpool fan, many of us watched the team’s last game. It was not great but it was good. Surely everybody goes for victory, but it is ....

On your brand new edition of The Totally Football Show, AC Jimbo is joined by Iain Macintosh, Sasha Goryunov and Jack Lang to gaze back on yet another show of strength by the Manchester clubs in the Premier League.

Woah. We're halfway there. Are Vancouver Whitecaps' playoff hopes living on a prayer or are they on a firmer footing? We look at the high and lows of the season so far, and what may lie ahead, as we chat with head coach Carl Robinson and striker Fredy Montero. We also look at Canada's showing in the group games at the Gold Cup and the threat Jamaica poses, plus The Fall make their first appearance in our Wavelength section, Cole Seiler talks books, and does Martyn Pert fancy a chocolate digestive?

Chelsea's 2-1 defeat of City shouldn't worry City fans because they're locks for the top 4, right? The two Mikes explain that while Chelsea and Spurs are all but locks to finish first and second, what happens to the four teams fighting for two spots behind them is anyone's guess. The numbers say Manchester United are much better than their position, Arsenal is much worse defensively this year, Liverpool is on the brink of a worrying trend, and if City were as good as everyone assumes, they wo...

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.

Roundtable discussion on Vancouver Whitecaps and MLS from the season past and the season to come

What's gone wrong with the Vancouver Whitecaps? We look at their recent form and their most recent loss to San Jose. Is there still time to turn things around? We also chat with newest addition Giles Barnes and end on a positive note as we talk to two rising USL stars, Brett Levis and Spencer Richey.

We pick over the bones of Vancouver Whitecaps' 0-0 draw with New England Revolution and have a comprehensive chat with CHS Soccer's Dan Conover about Vancouver's affiliation with Charleston Battery.

After Vancouver Whitecaps demolished Seattle Sounders in MLS action, it's a very joyous post game podcasting crew and audio from the Caps locker room.

From bad to worse - United have endured some refs across the ages and paranoia rules the pod as the team recalls famous officiating crimes. The YEP's Phil Hay explains what's going on with the takeover, but there are still more questions than answers. But at least things are looking up on the field as Warnock's Whites handsomely turn over Forest and Everton. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
