Episode 58 – Previewing the start of a historic week for Canadian soccer

The Northern Fútbol Podcast is proudly partnered with Northern Tribune and Canucks Abroad. Check them out at northerntribune.ca and canucks-abroad.ca. You can also follow them on Twitter @NorthTribune and @Canucks_Abroad.

Peter is joined by guest co-host Alexandre Gangue-Ruzic (@AlexGangueRuzic) of OneSoccer and Between the Sticks to preview what will be a historic window for Canadian soccer. 

The guys kick off the show with a breakdown of Canada's roster, including the inclusion of Ismael Kone, what he'll bring to the team, his potential and everything in between. They also dive into other topics like whether John Herdman risks becoming too reliant on the same players in the future, any glaring omissions and more.

Peter and Alex also provide a scouting report on Costa Rica, how they could line up and how they might approach Thursday's game in San José.

Finally, they close out the show by answering your questions on Richie Laryea, whether Herdman will use his best XI on Thursday and give out their predicted Canada lineups versus Costa Rica.
