In Episode 239 of the Third Sub Podcast, Alexandre Gangue-Ruzic and Samuel Rowan dive into the latest stretch of games for the Vancouver Whitecaps.
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, who have continued their strong start to the 2025 MLS season.
First, they beat FC Dallas in Dallas to extend their start to 4-0-0, but then came crashing down to earth in a 3-1 loss to the Chicago Fire.
Despite that loss to the Fire, there’s plenty of reason for optimism – they remain first in the league, were severely shorthanded due to a weird MLS scheduling quirk which doesn’t see them pause for international breaks (a subject which Alex and Sam have plenty to say on), and still played well despite the defeat.
Now, they’ll look to bounce back, with something a lot closer to their usual squad, as they travel to take on a struggling Toronto FC who have just one point from their first 14 games.
Can the Whitecaps pile more misery on a TFC team trying to build any semblance of momentum? That’ll be their big goal from their trip to the 6ix, as they get set for a big month of April.

BREAKING NEWS
MUNICH (AP) — Bayern Munich is considering legal action against the Canadian soccer federation following Alphonso Davies’ serious knee injury in a match of little importance.
“We’re demanding a full investigation into the events from Canada Soccer and expressly reserve the right to take legal action,” Bayern chief executive Jan-Christian Dreesen told the Bild tabloid on Friday.
Davies tore a ligament and sustained other damage in his right knee during Canada’s 2-1 win over the United States in the third-place decider for the CONCACAF Nations League tournament on Sunday.
