Reviews

4.9 out of 5 stars from 530 ratings
  • Inconsiderate to Whitecaps fans

    These ‘pundits’ choose to make light of the fact that the Whitecaps may leave Vancouver. Instead of truly being supportive of Canadian football, they choose relocation jokes about a team that is well and supported in their community. I’ll take my podcast time elsewhere. The opening music is too loud compared to the rest, And Ben LEARN TO SPEAK UP!!

  • Easily the best Canadian soccer show

    Brilliant analysis! Love what AGR brings tactically, I can see him as a straight pressing number nine. Ben is brilliant too, easily the creative midfielder of this show, and Brendan the goalkeeper.
