Episode 75 – How to fix Canada Soccer's youth teams

Northern Fútbol Podcast

Peter and Alex begin the Canadian youth soccer summit after Canada's 4-3 loss on penalties to Guatemala in the round of 16 at the Concacaf U-20 Championship. What's next for the federation? What were the issues that plagued Canada during the tournament and how can they improve in the future? The boys answer all of your burning questions following another early exit for the Canadians, and a whole lot more.

The fellas also dive into the futures of a few Canadians abroad, from Jonathan David to Richie Laryea and everyone in between. Plus, updates on the labour dispute, a cost-saving suggestion for the World Cup kits and the federation being in talks with a top five South American nation for a European-based September friendly. 👀
