Happy New Year!
Ok, we're a bit late, but better late than never, as we return with our first show of 2013 and it's a MLS season preview.
How have the Whitecaps done in their offseason rebuild? Will they make the playoffs again? And who are the main challengers in the Western Conference? We discuss all of that and a lot more besides and there's some snippets from Caps coach <b>Martin Rennie</b> and president <b>Bobby Lenarduzzi</b>, but you need to listen right to the very end to get them all.
Our main guest this week is <b>Rudi Schuller</b> from <a href="http://www.goal.com/en-ca/" target="_blank">Goal Canada</a>. He's here to discuss all things TFC. Well, maybe not all things. We didn't have that much available bandwidth.
Have a listen. And apologies for the shitty sound at my end of things.
