Well, it's sorta "mission complete" for the Vancouver Whitecaps after scraping together back-to-back draws against the San Jose Earthquakes and FC Dallas this week.  With injuries, suspensions and international call-ups all to contend with for the 'Caps there are plenty of concerns for Carl Robinson and co. as they close out the regular season.

In Part 1 (1' - 30') Mark, Jorge and Rituro discuss the Whitecaps' recent matches against FC Dallas and the San Jose Earthquakes, the upcoming playoffs and what the final few matches of the season mean for the Caps.

In Part 2 (31' - 65') the guys talk about Olympic qualifying, the senior Canadian Men's team and close out the show with the mailbag.

It's our 100th FTBL episode, and as always there is plenty to talk about with our Vancouver Whitecaps, but just like last week the news isn't good.  Be that as it may the 'Caps have three matches left in the season to turn it around in time for the playoffs.

In Part 1 (1'-21') Mark & Jorge first welcome Chris the Producer to the show, then break down the 2-1 home loss to NYC FC and some of the issues that led to the defeat.

In Part 2 (22'-40') the first ever FTBL guest, Russell Berrisford, joins the guys to talk about the current state of affairs and what to expect in the final few weeks of the season.

Part 3 (41'-67') is all about us, and the guys share their stories about how FTBL came to be, announce the #FTBL100 winner, and share some of our listeners favorite Whitecaps memories.
