AFTN Soccer Show

It's Christmas time. There's no need to be afraid. And if you're the kind of person to get easily offended then there's probably no need for you to listen to our Christmas special podcast either! Episode 89 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN soccer podcast, is up for your aural pleasure. In true UK style festive shows, it's more Christmas and nonsense than soccer and any sensible chat. So if you wa...

It's that time again. Snow is on the ground, you can justify being covered in glitter to your wife without her suspecting you've been at the strippers, and fat people feel that they're festively plump. And that can only mean one thing - it's the start of AFTN's end of season roundtables. Episode 88 reunites your usual co-hosts Michael McColl and Steve Pandher, AFTN writer Jay Duke (briefly), and C...

Episode 84 is here your aural enjoyment and it's the first of a series of special end of season roundtables that we'll bring you over the next few weeks.

Episode 83 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer podcast, is a post playoff clinching special! It's been some three weeks for the Whitecaps with a unique treble of the Cascadia Cup, a Champions League spot and now a playoff place, kicking off against Dallas on Wednesday.

Episode 82 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer podcast, is a post Thanksgiving show and there's a lot to give thanks for in Whitecapsland. Now that they've lifted another Cascadia Cup, it's one goal down, two to go for Vancouver Whitecaps.

Episode 80 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer podcast, looks back at a very busy, and at times disappointing, week in Whitecapsland. There was the good - the signing of tow homegrown players. The bad - the failure to convince New Westminster to be the home for the Caps' USL Pro team. And the ugly - Vancouver head to Portland this weekend to face Will Johnson and co. We bring you all the chat...

Episode 79 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer podcast, is a 'Legends of Vancouver' special. Past and hopefully future. The number 79 has special connotations for Whitecaps supporters. 1979 is the year we won the NASL Soccer Bowl and we honour the 35th anniversary of that triumph by speaking with two of the Caps' legends from that era. First up is Willie Johnston. Wee Willie is enjoying being...

Episode 78 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer podcast, is a Vancouver Whitecaps v DC United postgame special. The Whitecaps' attack is like an old 78 record at the moment, looking outdated and not relevant to modern surroundings. It was evident again against DC, with Vancouver making it four straight games, 411 minutes and nine halfs of football without finding the back of the net. We look b...

Episode 77 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer podcast, might not have as much flair and excitement as Vancouver Whitecaps' number 77 Pedro Morales, but it's jam packed with Caps analysis and training ground audio. We look back at the Portland horrorshow and try and figure out just what went wrong. Have the Whitecaps simply been figured out and how do they get out of their current funk? Do th...

Disinfectant at the ready, the Great Unwashed are coming to town. Portland come a calling to BC Place on Saturday in a crucial Cascadia Cup clash with vital playoff points on the line. A Whitecaps win and they're sitting pretty, A Timbers win and Caps start to lose the momentum in the playoff race. Episode 76 of "There's Still Time" looks at what lessons, if any, we can take from the Whitecaps' 2-...

Intense was the word of the day at Whitecaps training on Tuesday and it was also the mood in the air as the players battled hard for over two and a half hours. There were hard challenges, verbal exchanges and an overall desire to get the team over the final stretch and into the playoffs. Episode 75 of "There's Still Time" is a special Tales From The Training Ground as we hear from Caps' head coach...

It's Episode 74 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer Podcast, and we're in a celebratory mood. Not just because the Vancouver Whitecaps beat Sporting Kansas City to get back into the playoff places in the MLS Western Conference, but also because this podcast was recorded on the 25th birthday/anniversary of when AFTN first began as a fanzine back in Scotland on August 10th 1989. So a special da...

The blunderbus(s) is loaded. All aboard for episode 73 of the AFTN soccer podcast. Your usual co-hosts Michael McColl and Steve Pandher look at the latest happenings in Vancouver Whitecapsland with a Dallas post game show. More home points dropped against the FUDs, that's five points dropped in the last two home games, which is simply not good enough if Vancouver Whitecaps want to be a playoff con...

It's episode 72 of the AFTN soccer podcast and your usual co-hosts Michael McColl and Steve Pandher look at the latest happenings in Vancouver Whitecapsland. It's been a tough week for the Caps. Three games, two good roads draws but ultimately only two points from a possible nine and slipping out of the playoff places was a wasted opportunity. We look back at the road games at Toronto and Real Sal...

It's episode 71 of the AFTN soccer podcast and your usual co-hosts Michael McColl and Steve Pandher are joined by Harjeet Johal to look at the latest happenings in Vancouver Whitecapsland. We look back at the Goats' slaughter. Chivas came into BC Place and left with a 3-1 victory but what was the main cause? The heat, Jordan Harvey's sending off, switching off at the start of the second half or th...

It's episode 70 of the AFTN podcast and we present to you a mash up or should that be a mish mash of styles, as we talk Vancouver Whitecaps and World Cup. The Whitecaps were back in MLS "action" on Wednesday evening and we use that word very loosely in case the Trade Descriptions Act people get wind of it. It may have been boring on the pitch but we have some lively post game chat about the match...

Vancouver Whitecaps are back in training after their World Cup break and we're back with our second Caps' flavoured World Cup special podcast. We hear from Jay DeMerit about what it was like to play in South Africa for the US in 2010, whilst Bobby Lenarduzzi shares some memories of turning out in Canada's first ever Finals appearance against France at Mexico 86. Heading to Korea and Japan in 2002,...

The waiting is over and the 2014 World Cup is underway. It may not have been an opening game classic, but there were enough talking points from the Brazil-Croatia game to keep most people happy. But we have so much more to talk about than that in Episode 68 of "There's Still Time", the AFTN Soccer Podcast. We're bringing you a World Cup podcast with a very Vancouver Whitecaps feel and theme to it,...

Who can stop the mighty Whitecaps?! Vancouver Whitecaps are on a roll.

It's just one man and his dog, as Michael McColl and his faithful companion Predictapooch look back on the Caps' win in Portland and ahead to Saturday's final game before the Worl...

Cascadian derbies are very much like buses. Not only do you wait for one and then two come along, but they're also much better when you're on top. And we're in a Cascadia Cup fervour right now at AFTN Towers, so much so that we are bringing you the first ever podcast to feature all four AFTN writers and podcasters! Recorded live during Wednesday's Whitecaps U23 PDL game, episode 66 of "There's Sti...

After a short break to recover from the Canadian Championship penalty heartbreak, the AFTN Soccer Podcast is back. Episode 65 is a Vancouver Whitecaps v Seattle Sounders postgame show. We bring you all the chat and locker room audio from the exciting and controversial Cascadia Cup clash at BC Place. Dodgy penalty? Daylight robbery? Call it what you like. We do but the Caps players and management h...
