4.8 out of 5 stars from 151 ratings
  • Easy to like, informed, west coast soccer discussion

    I really enjoy the tone of this show. You can hear the affection for the game and culture - and among the hosts as well. It’s quirky, not too serious, not a nerd fest but still professional and informative. McColl is a great interviewer in a light hearted way. Following a Whitecaps team that has been very hard to like over the years, this show is required listening for mental health.

  • Top notch

    Excellent coverage of Canadian soccer and specifically the Whitecaps. If you are not into the CPL you can skip over that section but I personally admire their passion for including these new and emerging players and coaches in a serious journalistic way. On the Caps!
