The Third Sub Episode 25: The 'Caps plug one leak, open another vs Sounders - a podcast by The Third Sub

In their 25th episode of the Third Sub, Alex and Sam are back, this time to chat the latest Vancouver Whitecaps loss to the Seattle Sounders this past Sunday at MLS is Back.

To kick things off, they chat what went wrong against the Sounders, who executed a masterclass in counter-attacking football against the 'Caps. How could the 'Caps have reacted better to that? Alex and Sam discuss.

They also chat Thomas Hasal's debut, Max Crepeau's unfortunate injury, the call to give Theo Bair more minutes, Erik Godoy's importance and the 'Caps formation conundrum in the first part of the show.

After that, the talk shifts to the individual performances against the Sounders, as they split the players into 3 categories, and talk about their overall impressions of how each player fared against Seattle.

To round things off, they give one word each for their 'Third Sub of the Game', which in this one went to Thomas Hasal, Derek Cornelius and Cristian Gutierrez, as Marc Dos Santos actually made full use of his substitutions on Sunday.

Before wrapping up, they also look ahead to the Chicago Fire on Thursday, and crunch what needs to happen for the Whitecaps to have any hope at advancing to the next round of the MLS is Back tournament.
