This weeks show features Martin MacMahon filling in for Michael as he recovers from a back injury he sustained away from the pod. We discuss the other big away from work injury that occurred this week which involves Whitecaps top draft pick Darren Mattocks. The Whitecaps upcoming game against DC United gets a brief preview before we dig into a in depth interview with former National Team Manager Tony Waiters.
Tony discusses the pitfalls of Canadian youth soccer development, racing station wagons in Texas in the 70's, and the benefit of playing qualifying matches in the cold. He doesn't think that he could beat Davide Chiumiento in a foot race but Pierce's money is on the old gaffer anyways.
[PRBREAK][/PRBREAK]Martin and Pierce then have a quick chat with former National Team Member and Vancouver Whitecap Martin Nash. The former captain of the Caps talks about his time as a commentator, and his coaching aspirations.
Hopefully Michael will be back in fine form next week, especially since the Michael Speech Bot is still in beta phase...
