Northern Fútbol Podcast, Episode 38: Canada is the best in Concacaf
By Peter Galindo and Thomas Nef reconvene for a post-game edition of the Northern Fútbol Podcast!
After a history-filled night for the Canadian men’s national team, Peter and Thomas go through dozens of your questions following the 2-1 win over Mexico, including whether that was the team’s greatest-ever result and performance.
The guys answer that, dive into the minutiae of the game and look ahead to January. Where will the home game against the U.S. be played? Will there be a camp before the camp to prepare the MLS players? Would that also benefit the U-20 pool?
The guys also provide updates on Marcelo Flores, Ferdi Kadioglu and Stefan Mitrovic and assess their chances of committing to the team after a productive window for Canada.
You can listen, download and subscribe to the Northern Fútbol Podcast on Apple, Spotify and other platforms.
