Welcome back to episode 199.5 of the Northern Fútbol Podcast. The guys haven't made it to episode 200 yet because Ben Steiner was unfortunately unable to make the show, which means you'll only be listening Brendan Dunlop and Alexandre Gangué-Ruzic on today's edition of the program.
With Brendan back in the mix, Alexandre and Brendan looked back at what happened in the MLS playoffs with Montreal and Vancouver taking part in the play in round. Fortunately, Vancouver was able advance but the same could not be said about Montreal. After reviewing those two matches, they dove into the other soccer playoffs happening in Canada right now in the CPL.
Towards the end of the program, the two of them flew across the pond to see how the international Canadians are getting on.
