Show Notes
Ben, Peter and Alex are back at the NFP Studios – stuffed with Alex's delicious crispy chicken sandwiches – for the first time since November and they have plenty to discuss!
They kick off the show by recapping Canada's SheBelieves Cup pre-camp roster, how they'll adapt without Desiree Scott and the reports of Canada co-hosting games at the 2025 Gold Cup ahead of the 2026 World Cup.
The boys then dive into some Canucks Abroad-related topics, from Jonathan David's potential fit at Bayern Munich to Cyle Larin's latest heroics at Real Valladolid. Can he keep this up? How has he adapted so seamlessly? Plus, can Dominick Zator make his way back into the CanMNT picture?
Finally, the guys recap the latest happenings domestically, ponder whether the Vancouver Whitecaps could be Canada's top MLS team in 2023 and offer suggestions for a CPL All-Star Game!
