Episode 671 – The AFTN Soccer Show (Superpowered Comeback)

We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Championship, Canadian Premier League, and Northern Super League chat.

It was just a one game week for the Whitecaps. Did that affect them, as they got off to a slow start before coming back to draw 2-2 with LAFC? We look into that and delve into the talking points coming out of the match. Plus we get the thoughts of head coach Jesper Sorensen.

We also delve into our travels to two Canadian Championship matches this past week as Zach took in Vancouver FC's first ever win in the competition and Michael headed to Winnipeg with TSS Rovers for a close, but ultimately heartbreaking, narrow defeat. We also hear the postgame thoughts from Rovers' head coach Brendan Teeling.

Plus we round up all the week's action in MLS, the CPL, and the NSL, talk superpowers with Sebastian Berhalter, Ranko Veselinovic, Tate Johnson, and Ralph Priso, and music-wise Scottish band Baby Chaos continue their residency as our Album of the Month, we've another two Britpop songs, and another fun Wavelength.
