Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast!

In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to dive into all things Vancouver Whitecaps as they get set for the start of their 2025 campaign!

To begin, they dive into the latest news out of the 'Caps, who weren't done bringing in new faces ahead of the new season, signing veteran striker Daniel Ríos this week. Despite being more of a depth move at first glance, however, it could be an important one for the 'Caps, and they dive into why that is the case. 

After that, they take a look at the first Whitecaps match of the season, a first-round Concacaf Champions Cup clash against CD Saprissa, which kicks off this week with leg one of the tie down in Costa Rica. 

Lastly, they finish off the episode with a big preview of the 2025 Whitecaps season, looking at what the expectations should be for them in the CCC, Canadian Championship and MLS play, as well as what to expect from the players individually and new head coach Jesper Sørensen.
