Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast!

In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to chat about the Vancouver Whitecaps, Pacific FC, Vancouver FC, League 1 BC and more. 

To begin, they take a look at the latest out of the Whitecaps, whose strange 2024 MLS campaign continued with back-to-back losses to the New England Revolution and Portland Timbers in the week immediately after the international break, which they'd entered riding a two-game win streak. 

Yet, these losses seemed to mark the Whitecaps' return to MLS's mushy middle after spending most of 2023 inside that dangerous zone, and they look at why that is the case. 

From there, they take a look at what the Whitecaps need to do during MLS's secondary transfer window to take a step forward before they risk spending another season in the mushy middle. 

Moving on, they take a look at the Whitecaps' next match, a clash with St. Louis City at BC Place this upcoming weekend, one where the 'Caps can pick up a crucial win against a slumping side, and they see why that is the case. 

Continuing on, they dive into the latest out of the two BC CPL teams, Vancouver and Pacific, who are both slumping heading into their 2nd Salish Sea Derby meeting of 2024, which goes in Langford this week. 

Lastly, they dive into the latest out of League 1 BC, where a battle for the last playoff spot is forming in the women's division, while the men's division remains wide-open after some intriguing results.
