Fresh off watching the United States women’s national team beat Canada 1-0 in the CONCACAF W Final in Monterey, CONCACAF President and FIFA Vice President Victor Montagliani rejoins the program to talk with former Canadian internationals Craig Forrest and Jimmy Brennan, and hosts James Sharman and Brendan Dunlop. The rise of competitive balance in the women’s game both within CONCACAF and internationally is discussed at length. Victor offered some insight as to why financial investment is not the only key to development, the role of a Confederation President when a federation, such as Canadian Soccer, is in the middle of a domestic squabble with national team players, and how U20 and U17 levels need to be prioritized in order to ensure sustainable success for both the CanWNT and CanMNT.   The crew also have a crack at interviewing each other. Producer Dan Wong bats lead off with “who was your very first sporting hero?” Some very clever answers that should surprise you.   Presenters: James Sharman, Craig Forrest, Jimmy Brennan, Brendan Dunlop and Dan Wong Voice Over Talent: Jeff Cole This podcast has content that may use words and share tales that offend, please feel free to use your best discretion.  Parental discretion is advised.
