The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out and it's another packed episode. Our feature interview this week is with a rising young Vancouver Whitecaps talent, Canadian winger Ryan Raposo. We chat with Ryan about his impressive start to his time in MLS, how being away in Germany and college helps in lockdown times like these, getting into the Canadian Olympic mix, and more. We also look at the latest leaked plans from MLS about their proposed Orlando tournament and ponder whether it's all even worthwhile, plus we whip around Europe to chat about the latest news from the leagues trying to restart in the coming weeks, and update you on our beloved FK Slutsk and Vikingur Gota. Talking of MLS, there was a managerial appointment this week as Dutch legend Jaap Stam was named FC Cincinnati head coach.

It's the end of the season and the end of an, albeit short, era as Vancouver Whitecaps 2018 MLS season came to an end on Sunday and Alphonso Davies said goodbye to the club, the fans, and the city as he gets set to head off to Europe to join Bayern Munich. We look back at the emotional day that was but also the frustration that was left behind with the final standings that saw the 'Caps finish just two points, and one win, away from a playoff spot. How close were Vancouver in reality and does the squad need a complete rebuild or build around a current core when the new manager comes in? We look at all that and more, and ponder which other players we may have seen for the last time. We also sit down with Alphonso Davies to talk about his three years with the Whitecaps and relive some memories with him of his time in Vancouver. Plus we chat with Jordon Mutch about the ups and downs of his first season in MLS and hear from young homegrown player Simon Colyn after his MLS debut. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:03.15: Vancouver Whitecaps chat - the Portland game, frustrations at just missing playoffs, pressure on new coach, what excites fans for next year54.32: Alphonso Davies interview and discussion77.50: Which players will be back, including Kendall Waston chat86.21: Jordon Mutch interview and discussion95.47: Simon Colyn scrum and young player discussion102.35: Wavelength - Los Campesinos - Every Defeat A Divorce (Three Lions)109.40: BC Soccerweb headlines - a look at some stories from around the football world

It's been an eventful week for Vancouver Whitecaps, albeit not the kind of headlines the club would be hoping they'd be making at this point of the season. Carl Robinson's departure was a look to the future for the 'Caps, but if anyone thought it was going to have an immediate impact on the present, Saturday's loss to the LA Galaxy quickly dispelled those thoughts. We look back on the week that was, talking some more about Robbo's release and who the prime candidates are to take over from him. Marc Dos Santos may be the standout name at the top of many people's lists, but who else is in the frame? And what identity will that see the 'Caps with moving forward? We also pick over the bones of the loss in LA, hear from both interim head coaches, and bring you Zlatan Ibrahimovic's view on Alphonso Davies heading to Bayern Munich. The playoffs are still a mathematical possibility, but it's one tricky equation to make that happen. All this, plus we look at what Robbo's departure will mean to some of the current squad, play you Kendall Waston's thoughts on it all, and English punk poet Patrik Fitzgerald features in this week's Wavelength. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:03.05: Robbo's firing and the state of the Whitecaps FO40.55: Whitecaps' coaching candidates58.59: LA Galaxy v Vancouver Whitecaps analysis65.31: Craig Dalrymple audio - 69.27: More Galaxy v Whitecaps analysis77.08: Whitecaps player chat - present and future81.06: Kendall Waston scrum post-Robbo firing and discussion96.12: Zlatan Ibrahimovic talks Alphonso Davies105.36: Wavelength - Patrik Fitzgerald - No Fun Football111.32: BC Soccerweb headlines - a look at some stories from around the football world

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.

Alphonso Davies transfer - what does it mean for the Whitecaps's future?; Vancouver Whitecaps v Minnesota United match analysis; Doneil Henry interview; MLS chat, and more.

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!

Andrew and Nick talk the big Alphonso Davies deal between the Whitecaps and Bayern Munich, and Vancouver and Montreal's differing luck with Cascadia opposition.

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. We look back at the highs and lows of the match and the players' performances, hear from both head coaches, Chicago's Veljko Paunović and Vancouver's Carl Robinson, and chat about some of the latest Whitecaps news, from the continuing Davies to Europe rumours to the new U23 team the 'Caps are in the process of setting up. We've got two interviews for you this week. The first is with Chicago's World Cup winner, German legend Bastian Schweinsteiger who talks to us about his move to MLS, Saturday's match and playing on turf, and his thoughts on Alphonso Davies. Next up is Whitecaps goalkeeper Stefan Marinovic as we take a trip down World Cup memory lane armed with some Panini sticker albums. We find out the first tournament he can remember watching, how this year wasn't the first year he came heartbreakingly close to being at a World Cup, and look back at New Zealand's 1982 and 2010 World Cup squads. All this, plus lots of World Cup chat and orld Cup Wavelength continues this week with Weezer. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:04.39: Vancouver Whitecaps v Chicago Fire match analysis18.07: Coaches audio - Veljko Paunović and Carl Robinson25.24: More Whitecaps v Fire chat37.00: Bastian Schweinsteiger interview and discussion46.26: MLS and Whitecaps news of the week56.39: World Cup chat77.27: Stefan Marinovic World Cup Panini Memories87.00: World Cup 2026 chat96.50: Wavelength - Weezer - Represent101.45: BC Soccerweb headlines - inc Can PL chat

Vancouver Whitecaps were Back In Black and Back to Business on Sunday, getting their 2018 MLS season off to a winning start against Montreal Impact. We look back at the 2-1 win, chat about all the team and individual highs and lows, and hear from both head coaches, Montreal's Rémi Garde and Vancouver's Carl Robinson. Plus we also look at all the weekend's MLS matches. The star of the show was Alphonso Davies, and we sat down with the young Whitecaps winger for an in-depth chat about the season ahead, his growth these last two seasons, his relationship with Kei Kamara, getting his Canadian citizenship and playing at the Gold Cup, and more. And there's still time to look at all the comings and goings in Whitecapsland this week, chat with one of the new arrivals, Felipe Martins, hear Carl Robinson's thoughts on a stacked Whitecaps midfield, and feature Barmy Army in this week's Wavelength section. Here's the full episode rundown of the main segments from the show:02.41: Whitecaps News of the Week - Jordon Mutch and Felipe Martin arrive, Tim Parker departs, stacked midfield, weakened defence?09.25: Robbo on fitting in midfield pieces13.47: Felipe interview and discussion23.11: Make up of Whitecaps roster29.07: Vancouver v Montreal match review40.07: Rémi Garde and Carl Robinson postgame audio45.58: Vancouver v Montreal individual performances54.10: MLS Weekend Review67.22: Alphonso Davies interview and discussion84.44: Wavelength - Barmy Army - Sharp As A Needle90.52: BC Soccerweb headlines The AFTN Soccer Show is brought to you in partnership with BCsoccerweb.com, your one stop site for all your BC, Canadian, and North American soccer news and links.

It's a bye week for Vancouver Whitecaps in MLS due to the international break. Seems the perfect time to have a roundtable discussion on the 'Caps season so far, the highlights and low points, and what may lie in store, and we're joined by Anna Namshirin to do just that. We also catch up with Welsh legend Robert Earnshaw to chat about his transition into coaching and his new role as Whitecaps U17 assistant coach.

With MLS on a break, we turn our attention to the Canadian national teams this week, on both the men's and the women's side. The men got off to a winning start in their Gold Cup campaign. We look back at the victory over French Guiana, chat about all the highs and the lows, and hear from head coach Octavio Zambrano, goalscorer Scott Arfield, and captain Patrice Bernier.

It's international week all over the football world and we're no different on the AFTN Soccer Show, as we bring you a special internationally themed episode. There's a few 'Caps away representing their country on international duty this week, with perhaps the most important games coming up for the Whitecaps two Costa Ricans, Kendall Waston and Christian Bolanos. We speak to both of them ahead of a busy week that could see the Ticos qualify for another World Cup. Waston tells us [at 05:11 mark] what qualification for Russia would mean for him personally, the task ahead, and just how good this current crop of Costa Ricans are, while Bolanos [09:54] looks ahead to whether or not he'll head to the Gold Cup with the team in July. Moving on to Canada, we hear from an injured Whitecap who sadly can't be at the Gold Cup with Canada this summer, David Edgar, [13:37] who chats with us about his injury, when we might see him back on the pitch, life as a colour commentator, the Gold Cup, and the Canadian Premier League. From a Canadian national team veteran to the team's newest recruit, Alphonso Davies, [23:14] as he chats with Harjeet Johal about what playing for Canada means to him, his meteoric rise, what his family have meant to his career, and more. And we wrap the show up with a Canadian Hall of Famer, the newest recruit in fact, Paul Stalteri, [30:21] who chats about his career, the future of the game here, and a lot more.

The boys are back in town. Well men, but Thin Lizzy didn't sing that. And it was a case of men against boys for much of Saturday's match at BC Place as Vancouver Whitecaps came away with a 2-0 victory over the Western Conference leading Sporting Kansas City. We look back at the 'Caps victory - the performance, the unchanged line-up for a fifth straight match, which players stood out, and which ones may need a rest. We bring you audio from both head coaches, Carl Robinson and Peter Vermes and ponder what we can take from the game moving forward. We also talk with goalscoring hero Tim Parker after his first MLS goal, and hear from KC's Roger Espindoza after his horror challenge on Alphonso Davies (he's only 16 man). There's also a look ahead to Tuesday's Canadian Championship clash with Montreal Impact, with some words from Robbo on the big game, plus I Ludicrous feature again in our Wavelength section, and lots more!
