The Third Sub Episode 167: Whitecaps advance to Canadian Championship final, survive chaos of MLS schedule

Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast! In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to dive into all things Vancouver Whitecaps, Canadian Premier League and League 1 BC.  To begin, they start with the Whitecaps, where they look back on a busy stretch of games, in which the 'Caps played four times in two weeks across league and cup play.  From the good, such as their qualification to the Canadian Championship final and an outburst of goals, to the bad, such as their continued struggles on the road in MLS play, they look at what stood out from the past few weeks.  Then, they assess the play of those across the roster, both the good and the bad, seeing who has stepped up as of late for the team.  From there, they cap off the Whitecaps chatter with a look ahead to their next couple of matches, including a home date with Sporting KC and the CanChamp final against CF Montréal.  After, they shift their attention to the CPL, where they look at where each team is at through the one-quarter mark of the 2023 campaign, with a focus on Pacific FC and Vancouver FC (who on the day of recording, were getting set for a derby).  Lastly, they update the League 1 BC standings, where parity reigns on the men's side, while the women's side has seen some usual suspects and new faces climb up the table, marking a fun start to the season so far.  Make sure to check out The Third Sub Podcast on Twitter, @thirdsubpod, as well as on Instagram, @thethirdsub.
