The Third Sub Episode 217: Stuart Armstrong signs as Whitecaps mark return to MLS action with win vs. Austin FC

The Third Sub

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, Vancouver FC, Pacific FC and more.

To begin, they dive into the latest news out of the Whitecaps men's team, who returned to MLS action this week with a 1-0 win over Austin FC.

They look at what stood out from that victory, as the Whitecaps continue to be quite good on the road, picking up another vital road win on their hunt for a top-four spot in MLS's Western Conference.

That wasn't the only news out of Whitecaps-land this week, however, as the club also announced a new signing, as Scottish international Stuart Armstrong was revealed to be the 'Caps' latest DP. They dive deep into what to expect from that signing, one that could prove to be a big one, on and off the field.

From there, they preview the Whitecaps' next game, a home clash against FC Dallas where they'll be missing several key regulars. Despite that, they've still got a good chance at winning, although they'll need to rely on some key performances from some who haven't seen the pitch as much lately if they're to pick up all three points.

Continuing on, they dive into some CPL chatter, taking a look at the latest out of Vancouver FC and Pacific FC, who are getting set for some massive home games this weekend. Both matches that could determine how the rest of their season goes, they look at what to expect from those games, and what it could mean for both in the long run.

Lastly, they dive into the latest out of the Whitecaps women's side, who made history this week in the group stages of Concacaf W Champions Cup, where they were able to pick up a landmark victory over Panamanian side Santa Fe down in Panama, setting the table for two exciting CCC matches at BC Place in October.
