Football gives you many highs and many lows. When you support Canada and Scotland on the international stage, you have to delve deep into your memories for examples of the former.
With World Cup qualifying already hanging by a thread for both countries, you may expect this week's episode of the <i>West Coast Soccer</i> podcast to be a little bit more subdued than usual, but that's not our style.
We're joined first by former MLS MVP, and current ESPN pundit, <b>Taylor Twellman</b>, a man who sadly knows all too well about the damage that concussions cause.
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]
We chat about a multitude of subjects from concussions and Twellman's impressive <a href="http://www.thinktaylor.org" target="_blank"><b>Think Taylor</b></a> resource website, to his new career as a broadcaster and the current state of MLS.
Our second guest is <b>Bobby Lenarduzzi</b> and the Duze chats with us about the importance of youth and coaching development and the Caps new training facility.
We pick over Canada's Panamanian carcass, look ahead to the Caps <i>"biggest game of the season"</i> against Dallas and we introduce our new section - <i>"Things That Make You Go Hmmm"</i>.
