We're back with a brand new week of TCA as Matt Robinson is joined by long-time friend of the show AJ Jakubec - the voice of the Ottawa REDBLACKS and host of The Drive on TSN 1200 in Ottawa.

It's finally here. The FIFA World Cup begins this week and in a once in a lifetime opportunity Canada will be hosting games. No one is more fired up than our pal AJ so we ask him to take us inside his own travel plans to experience the tournament, how vibes may differ here from previous competitions, whether all the talk of ticket pricing and hotel gouging are likely to spoil the party and what needs to happen for this event to be a success.

Later AJ takes us inside Team Canada to discuss which injuries could hamper their progress, names that the country are likely to fall in love with, the odds that this squad can advance out of the group stage and plenty more.

It's a massive week and there's no one we'd rather have getting us set for action.
