Soccer Talk - May 12 - 2016

Soccer Talk with Tyler Green and Simon Fudge

Soccer Talk with Tyler Green and Simon Fudge is back for the May 12th edition - presented by Metrotown Orthopedic & Sports Physiotherapy, as they broadcast from the Barber and Co. studios.

On this episode, Tyler and Simon discuss Whitecaps FC’s two big wins at home this week, with the latest coming through the acrobatic heroics of one Blas Perez. There was disappointment from Wednesday’s win over Chicago Fire, however, as Japanese striker Masato Kudo suffered a broken jaw and will be sidelined for several weeks, at least.

Metrotown Physio’s Marc Rizzardo will join Tyler and Simon to discuss the severity of Kudo’s injury, as well the latest setback for Manchester City and Belgium centre back Vincent Kompany and why is it taking Christian Dean so long to recovery from his injury?

A new CONCACAF president was elected on Thursday in Mexico City, and he hails from East Vancouver! Canadian Soccer Association president Victor Montagliani will now lead the much-maligned soccer confederation into a new era, having become the first Canadian to land the role.

There’s MLS talk. Is the 2016 edition of Toronto FC side the best Reds side in their brief MLS history? How does Kai Kamara’s move from Columbus Crew to New England Revolution impact these two Eastern Conference foes?

It’s a battle of the undefeated sides in USL this weekend, as Whitecaps FC 2 host LA Galaxy II. Tyler and Simon give their reasons to why you should make it out to watch Sunday’s contest at UBC’s Thunderbird Stadium.

All that, plus a passionate edition of ‘Simon Says’, on a packed May 12th version of Soccer Talk!
