	Description:		It's a special 'FAN Soccer Show!' Jeff Blair opens with a discussion about the Canadian men's pursuit of a World Cup berth for just the second time in the program's existence (0:26). Then Jeff and Vivek Jacob touch on the team's different paths to a berth and the confidence of this squad (7:37). James Sharman tees up tonight's Canada-Costa Rica match, and what we've learned tactically from this team in the absence of Alphonso Davies (16:35). Later, Jeff and Vivek talk about Canada's intention to run the table during this qualifying window and the differences between this quad and the '86 team that earned a World Cup berth (29:08). Afterwards, Grant Wahl stops by to give an American POV on this qualifying window and the Canadian men's play (51:51). Next, Paul Stalteri weighs in on the growth of the Canadian men's team, the type of player Richie Laryea is, the soccer community in Brampton, and Jonathan Osorio's progression (1:10:45). To wrap, Dan Riccio joins the guys to talk about how this is a unifying moment, what the last window did for fandom, the national reach of this squad, and the importance of Canada finishing this octagon in first place (1:24:59).
