#canw17

(forkickspodcast)

This year has been all about the World Cup for us, and with that behind us we’ve turned our attention to everything else going on in the world of women’s soccer. But just because we’re tuned into other soccer doesn’t mean we’re not keeping a really close eye on what’s going on with Canada’s national team, too.

In this episode we talk about:

Canada Soccer news, measly though it may be, including:

NWSL news, particularly the new ESPN deal that will make NWSL games available to Canadians on TSN

Foothills WFC in the UWS Championship

Recent comments by CPL Commissioner David Clanachan on the prospect of a women’s side to the Canadian Premier League

our thoughts on recent comments by Coach Kenneth Heiner-Moller

the future of the U20 program with new head coach Rhian Wilkinson at the helm

Our early Christmas present this year came in the form of a super exciting U17 Women's World Cup tournament! There were times when we were frustrated, scared and thrilled--sometimes all at the same time. This was the first time a Canadian team played for a spot on the podium in a FIFA tournament since Christine Sinclair led the U19 Women's World Cup squad in 2002.

In this episode, we:

talk about the CANW17's showing in the U17 Women's World Cup

welcome back Canucks Abroad's Oscar Melander for an interview with Rachel Hoekstra

catch up on some soccer news

We're turning off the mic over the holiday season, but we'll be back with more soccer talk in the new year.
