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.

To begin, they take a look at the latest out of the Whitecaps, who continued to navigate a busy stretch of games as they play some of their last MLS games before a lengthy Leagues Cup break, which combined with their ongoing participation in the Canadian Championship, has led to a busy July schedule for them. 

Despite that, they've continued to pick up crucial results as they've navigated those challenges, as they drew CF Montréal 1-1 on the road in MLS play on the weekend, before picking up a 1-0 road win over Pacific FC in the first leg of the Canadian Championship semi-finals in midweek.

They look at what stood out from those two games, as the Whitecaps showed a lot of good in two low-event road matches, as they continue to tackle a road-heavy stretch of their schedule.

From there, they look ahead to the next week for the Whitecaps, which will include a long-awaited return home, but another tough road game awaits them in St.Louis before they get to that.

Lastly, they look at what they expect from this stretch, both in terms of potential lineups and results, teeing up a crucial week for a team looking to reach the Leagues Cup break on a high note.
