The Impact is mathematically out of the playoff picture following their 1-1 tie in Houston and we discuss Justin Mapp's "non pass" to Marco Di Vaio, who will lead the squad in Toronto following Jesse Marsch's suspension after being ejected last Saturday and the state of the race with the Whitecaps for the first seed in the 2013 Amway Canadian Championship.
First we go to Quebec City to talk with Royal Beauport's manager Samir Ghrib to celebrate his region's first ever Challenge Trophy conquest, the first since 1998 for this province and the second for a non-Montreal-based club (following Sherbrooke's Mistral-Estrie in 1995).
Jonathan Tannenwald discusses the eventual coming of a second MLS side in New York City and how this could affect business for the Red Bulls.
Half of the show is also dedicated to the coming World Cup qualifiers, with specific talks on Canada and U.S. MNTs, but also the situation in Brazil with our Sao Paulo-based expert and former Impact head coach Marc Dos Santos and with our man in Paris, BFM-TV and France24 reporter Cedric Ferreira.
All this and more on French Canada's most complete soccer podcast.
