Peter Galindo and Thomas Nef have a well-balanced and loaded edition of the Northern Fútbol Podcast this week!

Peter and Thomas begin this week’s show with a deep dive on Canada’s U-20 squad for this week’s camp in Costa Rica. The guys discuss the players to watch, major omissions and answer your questions about the roster as well as offer a brief preview of the Costa Rica friendlies.

The boys move on to a discussion with CSA President Dr. Nick Bontis about Canada’s World Cup preparations, who may host friendlies, the possible opponents, the Canada Soccer merchandising issue, a possible World Cup kit and so much more. 

The Canucks Abroad roundup and mailbag focuses on Alphonso Davies’ return to the pitch for Bayern Munich, Ike Ugbo scoring for Troyes over the weekend, David Wotherspoon’s return to individual training for St. Johnstone and so much more.
