Northern Fútbol Podcast, Episode 25: Which Canadians Are Destined For A ‘Big’ Transfer?

By on August 17, 2021 0 915 Views

Peter Galindo and Thomas Nef are back with a loaded edition of the Northern Fútbol Podcast!

The guys open the show with their weekly Canadians abroad mailbag. Are Scott Kennedy and Stefan Mitrovic destined to move to a “bigger” league? Can Belal Halbouni and Lucas Dias crack their respective first teams? How will Damiano Pecile fare in Italy with Venezia?

Alphonso Davies returned from injury and started Bayern Munich’s Bundesliga opener against Borussia Monchengladbach. Peter explains why Davies highlighted both the good and the bad of Canada’s 3-5-2 based on some sequences of play involving the 20-year-old in that match. Sam Adekugbe debuted for Hatayspor and looked solid, so how can John Herdman fit him into the side? Also, could Liam Fraser be an option at centre-back for the national team and who will replace Lucas Cavallini for September?

Domestically, the Canadian Championship began with Cavalry defeating FC Edmonton. Forge also earned a huge win in El Salvador, which the guys discuss. They also answer some questions on Michael Baldisimo’s national-team stock and MLS-CPL relations in Canada.

To close out the show, Thomas spoke with veteran Canadian soccer journalist Steven Sandor about the landscape of Canadian soccer, the potential formation of a women’s league and why our priorities are wrong, and much more.
