About this episode

The episode discusses the Canadian Men's National Team's preparation for the 2026 World Cup, including warm-up matches and insights from notable guests.

Just days away from the 2026 World Cup kicking off and the Canadian Men's National Team playing in the tournament in a host role. We break down the two warm up matches with TFC Republic and Sportnet's John Molinaro, including a discussion on Canada's scoring woes, the injury riddled backline and who John sees as the one Canadian to make his presence felt. We will also chat with Bob Lenarduzzi and Paul as we do double duty, chat 1986 World Cup and their experiences and how that relates to the 2026 team and what legacy they hope to see Vancouver, BC and Canada has after hosting the tournament.
