The Vocal Minority The Vocal Minority

All new Vocal Minority Podcast, Ep. 489, where we talk about the goalfest defeat of #TFClive to Charlotte, look ahead to a visit from New England, wrap-up the penalty shootout loss in the SheBelieves Cup for the #CanWNT, recap the opening week of the #CanPL, and some malarkey. In this episode Mark's microphone is extremely hot (sorry about that, not sure why), Kristin cannot get her actresses whose names start with "Claire Fo..." straight, and Duncan piles on a story that ended with an elephant eating a hat.

The gang is mostly here to recap TFC's substantial losses to Sporting KC and Vancouver, preview the #CanPL season as it kicks off this weekend, preview (day of recording) the SheBelieves Cup final vs. the US (yeah, we know), preview Toronto away to Charlotte and the usual malarkey. In this episode, Kristin forgets how many teams she supports in CanPL, Mark reminds us why the BastardProofing business idea is still very good, and Duncan breaks news about Victoria Highlanders (which is sad).

The gang is mostly here to talk #TFClive and recap the win over Atlanta, preview a visit by Sporting KC, talk some injuries, recap #CanMNT win over Trinidad & Tobago, talk #CanWNT Olympic draw, Atletico Ottawa signings and the usual malarkey. In this episode, Mark ruins a word for Kristin, Kristin "delights" over Larin scoring, and Duncan just wants Bernardeschi to pass a little.

Some of the gang is joined by special guest and long time fan and supporter of the show Gywn Richards (@ruchesko) who asked to be on and we said yes, because we're nice like that. We talk #TFClive and their loss to NYCFC, look ahead to a visit from Atlanta, talk some NWSL opening weekend and how the Canadians were the talk of the town, preview the first leg of the Copa America qualifier against Trinidad & Tobago, Project 8, new Canada kits and a healthy dose of malarkey. In this episode Kristin lists almost all of the #CanMNT keepers (almost), Mark discovers your new favourite club (or least favourite phrase) and Gwyn does a fabulous job of rebranding MLS internationally.

The gang is half here but we are bolstered by Voyageurs board member and CanSoc legend Nicky Cottee to discuss the Women's Gold Cup semi-final vs the US, recap #TFClive vs Charlotte and preview away to NYCFC, hype up #CanMNT vs Netherlands and some malarkey. In this episode, Mark strikes a deal to stop calling Valour the greyest of mice, Kristin does a whole 80s soap opera tangent and Nicky is close to being named the owner of a Project 8 side (lottery notwithstanding).

The gang is mostly here to talk #CanWNT at the Gold Cup and two matches vs Costa Rica, plenty of #TFClive talk including three points vs New England, preview the home opener vs Charlotte, a new player, plus CSA news, and malarkey. In this episode, Mark thinks he'd have made a great ref, Kristin reveals a nickname for Herdman courtesy of her pops, and Duncan asks the hardest question ever asked of the #CanWNT on this podcast, possibly ever.
