After an extended break, Tyler and Simon are back to talk about Vancouver Whitecaps FC and how they are shaping up for the 2017 season. This February 22nd edition of Soccer Talk is presented by Metrotown Orthopedic & Sports Physiotherapy, as the guys broadcast from the Barber and Co. studios.

On this episode, Tyler and Simon break down the Whitecaps squad that will raise the curtain on the club's seventh season in Major League Soccer on March 5. Are there enough goals in this 'Caps side to succeed? Is the midfield strong enough or in need of an upgrade? Can goalkeeper David Ousted and the backline put in performances reminiscent of 2015?

The guys also give their predictions on where the Whitecaps will finish up in MLS this term and how they will fare in this year's Voyageurs Cup.

Simon gives his three things to watch out for in the CONCACAF region, while 'Simon Says' salutes an historic moment in the world of coaching in the Far East this week.
