Episode 164 - The AFTN Soccer Podcast (Carl Robinson and Victor Montagliani conference calls)

We're technically on holiday, but there's no rest for the wicked when it's a busy week of football for both the Whitecaps and Canada. The 'Caps have won two games in a row on the road, qualified for the knockout stages of the CONCACAF Champions League, and Erik Hurtado's scored in consecutive games. Whatever crazy voodoo has been done, it's working. Next up is a must-win game away to Cascadian rivals Seattle. Defeat is not an option if Vancouver's faint playoff hopes are to stay alive. The 'Caps have stayed on the road, so head coach Carl Robinson held a conference call today to look at Vancouver's recent games, the task ahead against Seattle and to make the playoffs, and he reveals some exciting preseason plans. Turning our attention to the national team, the Canadian Soccer Association have sacked head coach Benito Floro. No real surprise there, but CSA (and CONCACAF!) President Victor Montagliani held a conference call on Wednesday to explain why and the way forward for Canadian soccer. We bring you the whole call (well the English parts!) and there's some interesting discussion topics in there for sure. There's a lot of talk to be had, so have a listen.
