In Episode 190 of the Third Sub Podcast, Alexandre Gangue-Ruzic and Samuel Rowan dive into a busy week of news for the Vancouver Whitecaps, who continued their preparations for the 2024 MLS season in Marbella, Spain.
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 big news out of Whitecaps land, which is that they’ve finally signed a centre-back; 27-year-old Norweigan, Bjørn Inge Utvik, who became the club’s latest signing this week.
As a result, they share their thoughts on what Inge Utvik can bring to the table, before looking at if the signing can be considered a ‘premium move’, one that can define this offseason as a win.
After that, they take a look at some other important Whitecaps contract news, as the club announced that they re-signed Ryan Gauld and Triston Blackmon to new contracts this week, securing their futures with the team.
Continuing from there, they then take a look at how the Whitecaps preseason slate has gone so far in Marbella, as they’ve played four friendlies in preparation for their upcoming Concacaf Champions Cup tie with Tigres in early February.
Speaking of that tie, they then chat about what to expect from Tigres in that tie, as they’ve started their Liga MX Clausura campaign on fire, quickly climbing up the table as they get set for this Whitecaps game.
Lastly, they take a look at some exciting ‘Caps news, and that’s the leak of their new kit, which dropped thanks to a EA Sports, who accidentally released a bunch of new MLS kits in EAFC 24 over the weekend, including Vancouver’s brand-new 50th anniversary top.
