04/12/21 • 68 min
We welcome Cesar Hernandez (@cesarhfutbol) of ESPN to discuss the 1-1 draw between Toronto FC and León in the Concacaf Champions League from the Mexican side's point of view. Was it simply one of those days? Could Luis Montes' return swing the momentum of the matchup? And which Liga MX team is the favourite to win the whole thing?
Then Peter and Thomas chat to John Molinaro (@JohnMolinaro), who reveals the details of his new independent website, TFCRepublic.ca, his mission for the site, what content subscribers can expect to read, why he left the CPL, his time at Sportsnet, the CBC and the state of Canadian soccer on TV. They also get his thoughts on TFC's draw with León and the club's expectations for 2021.
The guys then go back and forth on Jonathan David's surprisingly quick return to training, whether there's a risk of aggravating the injury, Atiba Hutchinson's insane week, his role with the national team, whether Scott Kennedy has played himself into the lineup and more.
