World Cup News

There's no rest for the wicked. Vancouver Whitecaps are in the midst of their toughest spell of the season with games coming thick and fast in both MLS and the Canadian Championship. The Whitecaps head to New York City on Saturday with the first leg of this year's Voyageurs Cup final coming up next Wednesday at home to Toronto firmly in their minds. Joe and Nick look ahead to the match with NYC. Can we expect mass rotation from Vancouver? Just what will that look like? And is there any expectation of whatever side the Whitecaps put out being able to get anything from an in-form team with an unbeaten home record? The guys chat about all this, plus talk salary dumps, Whitecaps season stats, and more. Have a listen!

Andrew and Nick talk a good week for the Vancouver Whitecaps and Alphonso Davies, with Pride Night and continued leadup towards Davies' impending departure, as well as calamity teams and Seattle's NYCFC success.

It's a grueling time for Vancouver Whitecaps. Three matches in eight days, with two of them in the space of four days, all of them crucial for how the season could play out, and it's sweltering hot outside. This will test a lot about the current 'Caps squad. After a gutless performance in Seattle, and a battling midweek one against Montreal to reach the Canadian Championship final, which Whitecaps team will we see turn up to take on an in-form Minnesota United side this weekend? Will there be more rotation to rest some guys up, or does Robbo ride a clean sheet and a good performance on Wednesday night with an almost same starting XI? Was that win against Montreal a blip or a turning point? How can the struggling Whitecaps defence cope with the huge danger posed by Minnesota's Darwin Quintero (9 goals and 6 assists), Christian Ramirez (7 goals and 2 assists), and Miguel Ibarra (6 goals and 6 assists)? Joe returns from baby daddy duties this week to discuss all of that and more with Nick, plus a quick look back over that win over the Impact, the Alphonso Davies transfer, and the guys play a frankly terrifying 'Choose Your Own Adventure' game with a Whitecaps twist. Have a listen!

Just like a never ending game of snakes and ladders, Vancouver Whitecaps got themselves off a two match slippery slope, finding a rung to take their trajectory upwards again in a match between two teams that feel like they would struggle to find consistency in the dictionary. Chicago Fire came to town and left on the end of 3-2 victory for Vancouver.

Vancouver Whitecaps must be wishing that the World Cup "break" was still going on. I know we do!

Let's be honest, is anyone really all that excited about watching MLS matches when the World Cup is on?

Now they have one of the worst teams in MLS this year coming to BC Place on Canada Day.

All that and more, plus a healthy dose of World Cup chat thrown into the mix as well. Have a listen!
