Rach is here with a very special episode all the way from Canada, jetting over there for the launch of the brand-new Northern Super League!

Ahead of the historic opening match between Calgary Wild and Vancouver Rise last night, she found time to sit down with Calgary’s head coach and former Leicester City manager, Lydia Bedford.

Lydia opens up about the challenges of relocating to a new country - during such a difficult time in her personal life - and shares the powerful way she managed to gel her squad in just a matter of weeks.

And more importantly, Lydia reveals how she and her dog Baxter have been adapting to life in Canada! It involves some tabogganing...

After that, we hear from Canadian sports journalist and friend of the pod Har Johal who joins Rach to react to this first-ever NSL match and explain what this brand-new league really means for Canada Soccer. Come and join us!
