Wherein Our Heroes are joined by the current co-leader in the Canadian Premier League golden boot race, Pacific FC’s Terran Campbell. First, though, we wax poetic about the performances turned in by each CPL club in the most recent Canadian Championship matches, and dip into the mailbag to talk shirt sponsors for a potential Quebec-based club and to remind everyone to give Ottawa Fury FC a little slack, eh!

Episode 184: The Young Gaffers Missed You

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes return from a brief summer hiatus to bring the special goodness. Mike the Ref joins us, officially, for the first time to provide his hot takes on VAR. CONCACAF World Cup qualifying is revamped, much to our chagrin. Canadian Premier League clubs fare very well against their respective opponents in the Canadian Championship. Also, OneSoccer decides to punch out early for FC Edmonton’s match against Valour, leaving their subscriber base in the proverbial lurch. Not having it!

Wherein Our Heroes look ahead past the opening weekend of the Canadian Premier League. Valour FC earn victory against Pacific FC in a physical match. We hear from Pacific FC’s Michael Siberbauer and José Hernández as well as Valour FC skipper Rob Gale. The physical nature of the matches has been entertaining, but will players stay protected as the season winds along? Also, Kyle Bekker earns this year’s first-ever Joey Barton Award for his bodycheck on York’s Di Chiara.
