We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, Canadian Championship, and Canadian Premier League football chat and interviews. What a week it's been for Vancouver and BC soccer. The Whitecaps and Vancouver FC of Langley set up a first ever meeting between the two teams in next week's Canadian Championship final after semi-final wins over Forge and Ottawa respectively. We chat about the games and the match-up to come, the showcase of soccer in the province, and hear some thoughts from Whitecaps head coach Jesper Sorensen and VFC's Martin Nash and Matteo Campagna. Heading back to league business, the Whitecaps went to Kansas City at the weekend and left with a comfortable victory that broke a multitude of club records along the way and left them controlling their own destinies in the race for first place in the MLS West and the Supporters' Shield. We chat with MLS Apple TV analyst Devon Kerr about the match and the season run-in for the 'Caps. We also chat with one of the (many) standout players for the Whitecaps this year, Uruguayan centre-back Mathias Laborda, about the season so far, what's to come, the Canadian Championship final, life in Vancouver, and find out if he fancies a chocolate digestive. Plus we talk about CPL side Pacific FC being put up for sale this week and the unsavoury public spat with the City of Langford that followed, and music-wise, Hazel O'Connor continues her residency as our Album of the Month, we've Britpop songs from Smaller and Pulp, and a Dutch band features in Wavelength.
