<p>Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast!</p><p>In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to chat all things Vancouver Whitecaps, Pacific FC, Vancouver FC, Vancouver Rise and more. </p><p>To begin, they dive into the latest out of the Whitecaps, who are coming off a busy week, one that saw them take on the San Jose Earthquakes, FC Dallas and the Houston Dynamo in an eight-day span. </p><p>They did pretty well to get four points out of those matches, which were all on the road, but given the high standard they've set for themselves, they'll also feel they could've gotten even more out of those matches. Yet, as has been the case for much of the season, their attack has had some question marks surrounding it, while their defence has continued to play a big role in the results they've picked up. </p><p>As a result, they'll look to avenge that set of results in their final MLS match before the World Cup break, which will see them take on San Diego FC on the road, in what is a rematch of the 2025 Western Conference final, with the Whitecaps aiming to pick up a big win to help maintain their lead atop the MLS Supporters' Shield standings. </p><p>Otherwise, there's been a lot of news to follow elsewhere in BC, with the big one being the departure of head coach James Merriman from Pacific FC. They dive into that news, before catching up with Vancouver FC's strange start to the season, in a CPL roundup section, before looking at the latest out of the Vancouver Rise, who are finally in the win column in NSL play. </p><p>Make sure to check out The Third Sub Podcast on Twitter, @thirdsubpod, as well as on Instagram, @the3rdsub_.</p>

<p>Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast!</p><p>In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to chat all things Vancouver Whitecaps, Vancouver Rise, Vancouver FC, Pacific FC and more. </p><p>To begin, they dive into the latest out of the Whitecaps, who have continued to roll along in MLS play. </p><p>Now, though, with their lengthy homestand now over, the rubber will hit the road for the Whitecaps, who have already begun the hefty road trip that awaits them on the schedule - a byproduct of BC Place hosting World Cup games. </p><p>They got the road trip off to a decent start, drawing the LA Galaxy 1-1, a result they'll live with after winning their last four home games, but they'll look to get back to winning ways as they get set for a pivotal top-of-the-table clash against the San Jose Earthquakes (and then a couple of tough away games in Texas). </p><p>Amid all of the happenings on the pitch, however, there's been a lot happening off it, as the future of the club continues to remain a big talking point within Vancouver and across MLS. After all of the latest updates, Alex and Sam dive into what they make of this whole situation, as the 'Save the Caps' movement starts to really take hold among Vancouver supporters - and the rest of MLS, as a whole. </p><p>Lastly, they finish the show with a round-up of local soccer talking points, including the Vancouver Rise's slow start, Vancouver FC's improved play, Pacific FC's struggles and the start of the 2026 Canadian Championship. </p><p>Make sure to check out The Third Sub Podcast on Twitter, @thirdsubpod, as well as on Instagram, @the3rdsub_.</p>

<p>Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast!</p><p>In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to dive into all things Vancouver Whitecaps and all other happenings related to soccer in British Columbia. </p><p>To begin, they take a look at how the Whitecaps have done as of late, as they've done well to recover from a frustrating loss to the San Jose Earthquakes in MLS play by picking up two important victories against the Portland Timbers and New York City FC. </p><p>Now, the Whitecaps currently sit top of MLS's Supporters' Shield standings - and they arguably haven't even played their best football yet, even if the advanced numbers suggest that they've been one of the best teams in MLS so far this year. </p><p>Because of that, Alex and Sam share what they think this team could still be better at, while looking at what has worked so well for them so far. </p><p>Lastly, they take a look at what's ahead for the Whitecaps, who will take on Sporting Kansas City in their next matchup, before potentially welcoming back some key players from injury in the weeks afterwards. </p><p>To round off the show, they then chat about other local soccer happenings, as the Canadian Premier League is back, as is the BC Premier League, while the Northern Super League isn't far away from starting, either. </p><p>Make sure to check out The Third Sub Podcast on Twitter, @thirdsubpod, as well as on Instagram, @the3rdsub_.</p>
