Today, we're joined by the director of ANB Academy, Bassam Naim, who shuttered his academy doors on the day of the Canada v Ecuador game to ensure his membership would attend the match. We'll talk to him about that decision, why getting local clubs selling tickets are the gateway to ensuring home crowds for home teams and what else his Academy has been doing as of late.
We'll also preview the Canada v USA Gold Cup game with a bit on the expected CMNT formations, compare war wound stories from some of our away game experiences and try to find something positive to talk about from the Toronto FC snorefest over the weekend.
