Canada Soccer's Heritage Moment + MLB Contract Talk

The FAN Morning Show

Brent Gunning and Daniele Franceschi wrap up this week on The FAN Morning Show focused on a potential heritage moment for Canada Soccer tonight. The boys go into preview mode of Canada versus Venezuela tonight from "Jerry World” AT&T Stadium in Texas alongside James Sharman of The Footy Prime podcast. They discuss the keys to tonight’s game for Jesse Marsch’s squad and the importance of Alphonso Davies, as well as the historical significance and opportunity ahead for the program. Later, the morning duo bring on The Athletic's Joshua Kloke to look at what has gotten Canada Soccer to this point; taking them farther in the tournament than both USA and Mexico (14:14). The trio also talk about the squad rallying around Tajon Buchanan following his tough injury in training, as well as who could step up for Canada in his absence. Finally, Brent and Daniele sneak in some baseball talk with MLB Network’s Adnan Virk (33:50). They get into the league's young stars and their impending contract extensions; specifically Juan Soto and if the Yankees would consider offering him more money than Aaron Judge. Later, the boys circle back on the Vlad Guerrero Jr. conversation to get Adnan’s thoughts on how the Jays should approach his contract situation.
