|
|
In this episode of the Paul James on Soccer podcast, Paul responds to several pointed questions from listeners about Dwayne De Rosario, Owen Hargreaves and Aron Winter. He also discusses Toronto FC's victory over Tauro FC in the CONCACAF Champions League, the Champions League ramifications of TFC's underwhelming loss to Chivas USA on Saturday, Aron Winter's decisions to not rest some key starters ahead of Toronto's crucial Champions League match against Pumas and to move Torsten Frings back to the midfield against Chivas, and whether or not a permanent move to centre back would be the right move for both Frings and TFC. Paul also answers the Canadian footy fan centric question of which of the two Canadian MLS clubs has the better European DP centre forward. Lastly, he also provides his commentary on the Whitecaps hammering at the feet of the Seattle Sounders and discusses whether or not Tom Soehn deserves criticism for a lineup too heavy on offensive players with limited defensive acumen.
