Episode 450 - The AFTN Soccer Show (Making An Impact)

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

The Whitecaps got back to winning ways against their Canadian foes from out east/down south, coming away with a 2-0 win against Montreal on Saturday afternoon. We're joined by Paul Vance from The Ball Is Round podcast to pick over the bones of the game, the highs and the lows for both teams, and we hear the thoughts of head coaches Marc Dos Santos and Wilfried Nancy.

We also delve into some of the main questions surrounding the Whitecaps right now - when will they score from open play, why do they start so flat in the first half, how dangerous can Dajome be this year? And we look ahead to the busy week of matches in store, starting with Minnesota, and ponder how much squad rotation we might see.

We also look at the difference playing in front of fans might have on the team and hear the thoughts on that from Marc Dos Santos and Max Crepeau, plus we look around the action in MLS this past weekend, and our Wavelength selection this week is a song all about former England international Alan Shearer building a time machine and travelling to famous events in history to take notes. How could you not listen?!
