Episode 501 - The AFTN Soccer Show (A Marathon Not A Sprint)

We're back with another packed episode of the AFTN Soccer Show for your listening pleasure, with more Vancouver Whitecaps and Major League Soccer chat. The 2022 MLS season is underway and for the Whitecaps they'll be hoping it hasn't started the way they mean to go on, after crashing to a four goal defeat in Columbus. We pick over the bones of the game, look at the good, the bad, and the ugly coming out of it, and ponder what Vanni Sartini can learn from the match and what needs to be changed ahead of next week's home opener with NYCFC. We also look at the other main Whitecaps news of the week as WFC2 makes a return for the upcoming inaugural MLS Next Pro season and there's some comings and goings amongst the team's young players before the roster freeze. We also round up the first weekend of action in the MLS Western Conference and look at the latest kit releases across the league.
