In Episode 225 of the Third Sub Podcast, Alexandre Gangue Ruzic and Samuel Rowan dive into all things Vancouver Whitecaps, Pacific FC and more in a jam-packed show.
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 and Pacific FC.
To begin with, they dive into the latest from the Whitecaps, who advanced through MLS’s Western Conference Wild Card match in style by beating the Portland Timbers 5-0 on Wednesday.
Arguably one of their best performances of their MLS era, they dive into what stood out from that win, as the Whitecaps seemed to hit all of the right notes in that game, both tactically and individually.
Now, however, the Whitecaps won’t have much time to think about that win, as they’re now getting set to take on LAFC in the first round of the MLS Cup playoffs, in a rematch of the 2023 playoffs.
Can they legitimately cause problems for LAFC? Can they carry over the blueprint used vs. Portland? Will fatigue play a factor?
They dive into all of the key questions surrounding this LAFC series, before previewing what they expect out of game #1, which goes this Sunday in Los Angeles.
Lastly, they finish with some Canadian Premier League talk, as they look at Pacific’s elimination from the CPL playoffs, which came at the hands of York United in midweek, seeing what this means for the Tridents.
