Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast!

In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to chat all things Vancouver Whitecaps, CPL, League 1 BC and more. 

To begin, they look at the latest out of the Whitecaps, who had a mixed week of results, as they drew Austin FC 0-0 in MLS play, before dispatching Cavalry FC 2-1 in the first leg of their Canadian Championship quarter-final. 

They look at what stood out in both games, as the 'Caps began to navigate what will be a busy month of May, one filled with midweek matches. From controversial refereeing decisions to their struggles with low blocks, and their ability to rotate their squad better than ever, they look at the big storylines from those two matches. 

Speaking of that busy Whitecaps calendar, they're now getting set for their third game in less than eight days, as they travel to Los Angeles to take on LAFC in a rematch of their first-round 2023 MLS Cup Playoffs matchup. Can the Whitecaps get some revenge from that series? It's not an unreasonable possibility, and they explore why that is the case. 

Continuing on, they take a look at what stood out from around MLS this past weekend, as well as what awaits this upcoming matchday, in "Around MLS in 5". 

Nearing the end of the show, they dive into another mixed week for the BC CPL teams, as Pacific maintained their status as a defensive force, while Vancouver FC's road woes continued. 

Lastly, they take a look at the second matchday of League 1 BC action, as the Whitecaps women continue to fly, while the TSS Rovers' men made a flying entrance, with some interesting results from Burnaby FC and Altitude FC's home matches rounding off another intriguing week of action across the circuit.
