Northern Fútbol Podcast, Episode 50: Canada remain kings of Concacaf
By Peter Galindo and Thomas Nef celebrate 50 episodes of the Northern Fútbol Podcast after a wild Sunday in Hamilton.
The guys go over your big-picture questions from Canada’s huge win over the U.S., from whether this team is now the feel-good story in world football to if this game tops the Mexico win in November.
They also go over the Larin-David partnership, give plaudits to Sam Adekugbe and Milan Borjan, assess the midfield’s performance and so much more!
Oh, and there’s another game on Wednesday against El Salvador, so they have you covered there as well.
You can listen, download and subscribe to the Northern Fútbol Podcast on Apple, Spotify and other platforms.
