We\u2019re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps, Major League Soccer, and Leagues Cup chat and interviews.<\/p>\n
The Whitecaps may have three weeks off, but that doesn\u2019t mean there\u2019s not a lot to talk about! We delve into the \u2018Caps news of the week including the transfer speculation around Ali Ahmed, the injury to Brian White, and the striking issues and needs for the team right now. Turning our attention to MLS in general, we look at the lie of the land in the MLS West, the Thomas M\u00fcller and Son Heung-min effect on the league since their signings, and we delve into the Miami melee down in Seattle.<\/p>\n
We\u2019ve two feature interviews for you this episode. First up is the Whitecaps new German centre-back Sebastian Schonlau. We chat with Basti about the move to Vancouver and MLS, the emotions and memories in leaving Hamburger SV, his own footballing journey, and more. Plus, does he fancy a chocolate digestive?<\/p>\n
We also sit down with Whitecaps assistant coach Michael D\u2019Agostino about his playing and coaching journey, four years with the first team, the dynamics under new head coach Jesper Sorensen, what it\u2019s like to coach Thomas M\u00fcller, his favourite jam, and more!<\/p>\n
Music-wise, Hazel O\u2019Connor starts her residency as our Album of the Month, we\u2019ve a Britpop song from Salad, and a song about Mansfield Town in Wavelength.<\/p>\n
