Episode 687 – The AFTN Soccer Show (Doing Great Things with guests Axel Schuster and Asa Rehman)

We’re back with another AFTN Soccer Show packed full of Vancouver Whitecaps and Major League Soccer chat and interviews and this episode we're joined again by special guest co-host, Global TV and CKNW's Asa Rehman. The football gods giveth and the football gods taketh away. Thankfully for Vancouver Whitecaps, they were in a generous mood on Saturday in the Whitecaps' last gasp win over St Louis. Thomas Müller got his first Whitecaps goal, Vancouver got the win, and everything is right with the world. Right?! We delve into the main talking points from the dramatic game and the aftermath from it all. It's been an incredible last month both on and off the pitch in Whitecapsland, so it felt like the perfect time for another one of our in-depth chats with Whitecaps GM and Sporting Director Axel Schuster. We sit down with Axel for a 35 minute chat about the Thomas Müller signing, the other new additions this past transfer window, scouting, a new stadium, the latest on the sale of the club, multi club ownership, and just how they'll keep the team sharp with three weeks off. Then Michael and Asa unpack it all. Music-wise, The Wonderstuff continue their residency as our Album of the Month, we've a Britpop song from Echobelly, and we continue our German themed songs in Wavelength. Here’s the rundown for the main segments from the episode: 01.24: Intro - Asa's back, college action underway, Leagues Cup quarters 09.10: Müller scores in Whitecaps dramatic win over St Louis 51.55: Axel Schuster interview 93.30: Unpacking Axel 115.05: Wavelength - Neeskens - Gerd Muller song
