Wherein Our Heroes celebrate Canada’s performances to-date at the FIFA Women’s World Cup. The Canadian men open with a victory over Martinique, but questions remain about John Herdman’s makeshift backline.

Episode 150: Smells Like Teen Spirit

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes celebrate their sesquicentennial episode by discussing all things True North Strong and Free. The Canadian women end the CONCACAF Gold Cup with an all-too-familiar loss to the USA. Despite this, their efforts will see them into a seventh straight World Cup in 2019. The Canadian men demonstrate their fearlessness and confidence against Dominica, but can Herdman rein in the horses in time for tougher competition next summer? The Canadian Premier League partners with U Sports, opening the pathway for Canadian university players. Also, Adam turns 40 and mistakes a prospective Kijiji buyer for a troll.

Episode 120: Jamie Carragher, Gob Spit

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes celebrate another big name in Canadian soccer landing in Calgary, Steph Labbé. Jamie Carragher shamefully aims a gob at a man and his 14-year-old daughter, placing his reputation in tatters and future at Sky Sports in jeopardy. West Ham supporters “bubble over” and invade the pitch against Burnley, creating yet more dangerous scenes at the London Stadium. The great citizens of Atlanta continue to show up in droves at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and LAFC impress yet again – but can they last?

Episode 111: Have You Herdman?

Posted on by

Wherein Our Heroes share thoughts on the latest season of The Bachelor; BAE is not a fan. John Herdman takes charge of the Canadian men’s soccer program after over six successful years in charge of the #CanWNT. Adam’s father weighs in on the change, as do we, and we are certainly having it. What we are not having is Sid Seixeiro’s recent rant on Tim & Sid. The Canadian Premier League names their first Chairman and Commissioner, a veteran of true Canadian icon: Tim Horton’s. The future bodes well for Les Rouges. This episode couldn’t possibly get any more “True North strong and free”.
