Zonal Marking

We’re back with another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian football chat.Another week, another Whitecaps halftime lead given up, another loss. After all the talk about the need to get off to a fast start, it's all gone a bit wrong for the 'Caps to start the new MLS season. There's been two good halves of football and two horrible ones. Which showed the real Whitecaps? Can they turn things around quickly with two big games coming up this week and how much pressure is Vanni under after these two losses?We pick over the bones of all of that, talk to Vanni about the form of Brian White and zonal marking and take a deep dive in the Whitecaps' CONCACAF Champions League opponents Real Espana. Plus we look around the action in week 2 of MLS and Football Violence Awareness Month returns in Wavelength!01.35: Intro - it's our anniversary month!03.25: Earthquakes v Whitecaps analysis36.30: Brian White's form and the striker situation40.20: Vanni and Michael disagree on zonal marking45.25: How much pressure is Vanni under after poor start?56.31: A deep dive into Real Espana and the CCL78.08: MLS Week 2 round-up96.50: Wavelength - Violent Affair - Hooligan

We’re back with another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Canadian football chat and we're joined by Harjeet Johal again this week to talk about it all.It's big breaking news to kick things off as we look at the resignation of Nick Bontis as Canada Soccer President as the pressure mounted from the provincial associations, media, players, and fans. Where does this leave the CSA now and what does the future hold in store? Who will replace him, is it time for a new approach by appointing a former national team player, and can they be a unifying figure?We entered the new MLS season full of confidence, hope, and expectations for the Whitecaps, and it only took 90 minutes of football to have us reconsidering all of that after a 2-1 home loss to RSL in the season opener! It wasn't a great start to the season and we pick over the bones of the match - the good, the bad, and the ugly, the latter of which just sees us screaming "zonal marking, aaarrrggghhhh". Plus we see who knows the most about the first Whitecaps goals of the season over the MLS years so far.All of this and there's still time to look over the rest of the weekend's action around the MLS Western Conference and the Canadian teams out east, look at how the MLS Season Pass experience was on Apple TV, talk some Vancouver FC and TSS Rovers, and The Meffs are in this week's Wavelength.02.16: Bontis gone from Canada Soccer!26.03: Whitecaps v RSL analysis81.43: MLS Week 1 round-up106.15: MLS Season Pass on Apple TV - first thoughts121.23: Vancouver FC and TSS Rovers News of the Week126.30: Wavelength - The Meffs - Football
