Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast!
In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to chat all things Vancouver Whitecaps ahead of the start of their 2024 MLS season.
To begin, they take a look at the latest news out of Whitecaps land, as a few key 2023 pieces departed for new clubs in Richie Laryea, who joined Toronto FC, and Junior Hoilett, who joined Aberdeen. Meanwhile, closer to home, the 'Caps made one move ahead of the roster compliance deadline this weekend, signing veteran goalkeeper Joe Bendik as their third-string goalkeeper.
Rounding off the news section, they then take a look at the 2024 Canadian Championship draw, which occurred this week, where the Whitecaps learned their path towards a potential threepeat in that competition, with the potential for a first-ever Greater Vancouver derby potentially in the cards.
Finally, they take a look back at what they learned from the Whitecaps Concacaf Champions Cup tie with Tigres, in which the Whitecaps fell 4-1 across both legs, a score that probably flattered Tigres in the end.
From there, they dive into a jam-packed second half of the show, in which they previewed the Whitecaps 2024 season, looking at the team's outlook, rating their offseason and predict how they'll do in the three competitions they have remaining this year.
Can the 'Caps finish top 3 in the West? Can they win another Canadian Championship? Is this the year they get over the hump in the playoffs? What's the best and worst case scenario?
They dive into all of those big questions, and much more, to help preview what should be one of the biggest 'Caps seasons since they've come into MLS.
