Welcome back to another episode of the Third Sub Podcast!
In this episode, Alex and Sam are back, as usual, this time to chat all things Vancouver Whitecaps and Vancouver Rise.
To begin, they dive into the latest out of the Whitecaps, who picked up a big 3-0 win vs. FC Dallas in the first game of their first-round best-of-three series at BC Place.
Not only did they win, too, but they thoroughly dominated Dallas, putting in the sort of performance that can leave scar tissue.
Because of that, they're now looking to finish the job they started in the second game of this series, which will be held in Frisco, Texas, this weekend, as they look to set up a potential rematch with LAFC in the Western Conference Semi-Finals.
Otherwise, in Whitecaps news, the latest MLS salaries dropped this week, giving an idea of how their roster is looking after some big summer transfers. While this news doesn't affect the team much until the offseason, it gives an idea of what's to come for the Whitecaps after these playoffs - showing why this run is so important for this team, with the group set to be shaken up a bit.
Lastly, the Vancouver Rise are getting set for their inaugural Northern Super League playoff journey, as they'll battle with the Ottawa Rapid in the two-legged semi-finals, as they try to book a trip to Toronto for the final - starting next Tuesday at Swangard Stadium for Leg 1.
