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 and more. 

To begin, they dive into the latest out of the Whitecaps, who have finally made their first offseason transfer, bringing in former Toronto FC youngster Jayden Nelson on a permanent deal. 

They dive into what to expect from Nelson, who has struggled to find his best position as a professional, something he'll look to change in Vancouver. 

After that, they dive into the latest out of the Whitecaps preseason, as they've opened their scheduled slate of games in Marbella with a 3-2 loss to Polish side Raków Częstochowa. In a game which was played behind closed doors, they dive into what they learned from the roster information and highlights provided, getting an idea of what can be gleaned from that experience. 

To cap off MLS chatter, they then look at the latest out of MLS, who continues to handle the US Open Cup and Leagues Cup in a strange manner, but have helped the Whitecaps in the process. 

Lastly, they dive into the latest out of the CPL, where Pacific FC's quietly been making moves, gearing up for a big 2025 campaign.
