Episode 437 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Breaking Records and Hearts - Ali Adnan, Jake Nerwinski, Canada's World Cup and Olympic qualifiers)

The latest AFTN Soccer Show is out for another packed show of Vancouver Whitecaps, MLS, and Canadian national team chat.

We kick things off in Whitecapsland as we look at the big stories of the week from fixtures to friendlies to loan deals and squad depth, plus we have a chat with a couple of the 'Caps' full backs as we talk Iraqi football with Ali Adnan and competition for places with Jake Nerwinski. Plus we talk Texan derbies with Austin FC's Claudio Reyna.
