Ep. 147 - Dark and difficult times for Vancouver soccer fans

Another World Cup dream came crashing down for Canadian football fans at BC Place as the Canadian Men National Team failed to once again qualify to the Hexagonal and, consequently, to return to a World Cup. What went wrong? We chat all about that.

We also talk about an arguably darker topic as we discuss the Vancouver Whitecaps losing once again at home, this time against the New York Red Bull. It is a hard time to be a soccer fan in Vancouver.  We finally close out the show with the mailbag.
