The sun was shining so it was outside broadcast time once again as we bring you Episode 53 of “There’s Still Time” from UBC’s Thunderbird Stadium after Vancouver Whitecaps’ 4-2 friendly win over FC Edmonton.
We look over the game, who stood out, who didn’t take their opportunity to impress and ponder just how young the average age of the team was in that second half as the Whitecaps Reserves were featured heavily.
Kekuta Manneh was the two goal hero and we speak with him after the game about the season so far, the match itself, the pressure raised by last season’s heroics and ask him just how good could this Whitecaps team could be this year.
We also catch up with FC Edmonton Head Coach Colin Miller and chat about the Eddies preseason trip west, the players to watch out for this season, the new NASL playoff format, this year’s Voyageurs Cup and more.
Moving away from the pro level to local soccer, we talk to BC Soccer Executive Director Paul Mullen about the upcoming 2014 BC Provincial Cup, whether BC will follow Ontario and look at a provincewide U23 league and their travelling big red jersey.
And there’s still time to ask our listeners and twitter followers for a little bit of help in explaining Nigel Reo-Coker’s Marcel Marecauesque mime show on Saturday. What could he have been demonstrating to Marco Carducci?!
