WEBVTT 1 00:00:26.239 --> 00:00:28.160 Bassis dropped on a new week of the Morning show 2 00:00:28.199 --> 00:00:30.800 here at the SDH Network. John here, you there, and 3 00:00:31.480 --> 00:00:35.880 I've got kind of an elongated opening kickoff. But my 4 00:00:36.280 --> 00:00:40.960 first question, well, how was your weekend? Was a weekend 5 00:00:41.000 --> 00:00:45.200 where some MLS teams played, some didn't. We had some news, 6 00:00:45.719 --> 00:00:48.439 we had a national team play on several levels on 7 00:00:48.439 --> 00:00:51.719 and off the field. Results obviously not what a lot 8 00:00:51.759 --> 00:00:55.759 of folks were looking for, especially against rival Bark Keeler 9 00:00:55.799 --> 00:00:58.000 from the Soccer for USPL that you'll be joining us 10 00:00:58.079 --> 00:01:00.359 in about ten minutes to break all that stuff down. 11 00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:04.480 And the reason that Bart is early this morning, other 12 00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:07.599 than the US men's national team playing this past weekend, 13 00:01:08.079 --> 00:01:17.239 Pochettino possibly probably maybe perhaps being announced named appointed, dots 14 00:01:17.879 --> 00:01:22.920 cross t's dotted that kind of thing is that, like 15 00:01:22.920 --> 00:01:25.120 I said, a couple different levels where we had national 16 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:30.760 team play. Then with all of the stuff on the field, 17 00:01:30.799 --> 00:01:34.159 we had Alex Morgan playing her last match this past weekend. 18 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:37.319 It literally was like snap notice. As you noticed on 19 00:01:37.359 --> 00:01:43.799 the show, when those of you who are as intrepid listeners, watchers, viewers, reporters, 20 00:01:44.280 --> 00:01:47.959 producers as you are finding Alex Morgan's retirement announcement twenty 21 00:01:47.959 --> 00:01:51.000 six thousand showed up at Snapdragon, by the way, very 22 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.920 very cool on short notice to see Alex Morgan's last match. 23 00:01:55.000 --> 00:01:57.159 And she did. And I don't know if this is 24 00:01:57.239 --> 00:02:01.959 a soccer thing or a you know, just a leaving 25 00:02:02.000 --> 00:02:05.280 the sport kind of a deal where you take your 26 00:02:05.280 --> 00:02:09.039 boots off in wrestling, and I mean this in both 27 00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:13.000 the entertainment aspect and in the sport aspect. When you 28 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.759 play your last match, or when you have your last 29 00:02:15.759 --> 00:02:19.240 match on the mat, you take your shoes off and 30 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:20.680 you just leave them there in the center of the 31 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:24.120 ring you walk away. Alex Morgan did the same thing, 32 00:02:24.199 --> 00:02:26.159 except she took her cleats with her. That might have 33 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:28.240 been kind of messy it Snapdragon, if folks are trying 34 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:30.719 to play and you know, it's the thirteenth minute and 35 00:02:30.759 --> 00:02:32.840 folks are trying to play around her cleats and things 36 00:02:32.840 --> 00:02:35.280 like that. But she took her cleats with her. So 37 00:02:35.479 --> 00:02:40.280 it's Alex Morgan, it is US M and T with 38 00:02:40.360 --> 00:02:44.840 mikey Veris, and it is also reffing down here, and 39 00:02:44.840 --> 00:02:48.879 reffing down here is going to be opening kickoff because 40 00:02:49.120 --> 00:02:53.719 this past weekend we had a couple of angry coaches 41 00:02:53.800 --> 00:02:57.360 for a couple of different reasons. And I'll tell you 42 00:02:57.520 --> 00:03:03.360 now that we've got the full rants of two coaches 43 00:03:04.439 --> 00:03:09.080 about particular things that happened in the game this past weekend, 44 00:03:09.120 --> 00:03:11.319 and we're gonna play them for you. And like I said, 45 00:03:11.319 --> 00:03:17.479 they're complete rants. Traditionally, you know me, I want things 46 00:03:17.560 --> 00:03:21.639 to be done in their full context. And the two 47 00:03:21.719 --> 00:03:26.159 rants that we have they're long. Don't get me wrong, 48 00:03:26.240 --> 00:03:30.319 they are long rants, but they are worth your time 49 00:03:31.639 --> 00:03:36.080 to hear the whole thing. Our number one we'll hear 50 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:42.800 from Caleb Porter. Our number two. We're hoping knock on 51 00:03:42.919 --> 00:03:45.719 Wood to start our number two often. This is the 52 00:03:45.719 --> 00:03:48.639 other reason that Bart's at nine point fifteen that if 53 00:03:48.680 --> 00:03:53.120 technology can work for us, we will be able to 54 00:03:53.199 --> 00:03:57.240 catch up with some folks about European soccer history. If 55 00:03:57.280 --> 00:04:02.039 it works, it'll be cool. So hoping that can happen 56 00:04:02.080 --> 00:04:04.719 at ten o'clock for a couple of minutes, then an hour. 57 00:04:04.840 --> 00:04:09.080 Number two we've got the other coaching rant from the weekend, 58 00:04:10.639 --> 00:04:14.560 and we've got an update on Chelsea and the ownership 59 00:04:14.639 --> 00:04:18.720 group there seemingly infighting and trying to figure out, well, 60 00:04:19.560 --> 00:04:22.759 I'm not leaving, you're leaving. I'm not leaving you're leaving. 61 00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:27.639 I'm not leaving, and we might know the why. The 62 00:04:27.720 --> 00:04:30.920 other coaches rant comes from the MLS activity on the 63 00:04:30.959 --> 00:04:36.480 weekend and it's something that we've talked about and it 64 00:04:36.759 --> 00:04:39.720 really came to the four this past weekend with one 65 00:04:39.759 --> 00:04:45.600 of the matches that occurred, so we'll have that information 66 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:50.759 as well. So it is Bart with reffing down here, 67 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.920 the USM and t Alex Morgan and anything else on 68 00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:58.959 his mind. Ten o'clock. If technology works, then we get 69 00:04:58.959 --> 00:05:01.000 to catch up on some of your history. I'm not 70 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:03.240 gonna reveal it because I tried to put it in 71 00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:05.439 the two hundred and eighty character app announcement. That's the 72 00:05:05.480 --> 00:05:09.680 other thing this morning, but it wouldn't fit in everything else. 73 00:05:09.680 --> 00:05:12.160 And then our number two once again, if technology works, 74 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:16.120 it'll be a cool moment out of Europe plus Chelsea, 75 00:05:16.160 --> 00:05:20.240 plus more rules and coach rants, and we'll talk about 76 00:05:20.240 --> 00:05:23.639 the two's and the big weekend that they had as well. 77 00:05:23.800 --> 00:05:27.079 So that's the show for the morning once again. Thanks 78 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:32.079 for dropping by as you always do. So here's how 79 00:05:32.120 --> 00:05:36.639 we'll go.

All right, now, the first part 93 00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:18.839 of opening Kickoff has to do with the two hundred 94 00:06:18.839 --> 00:06:22.279 and eighty character app. And I don't know if you 95 00:06:22.439 --> 00:06:26.519 guys are having the same problems that I am. So 96 00:06:27.319 --> 00:06:32.600 when I try and post that, hey, you know what, 97 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:36.040 We're gonna have a show coming up at nine oh 98 00:06:36.160 --> 00:06:41.680 five Eastern, and I do it on my phone, and 99 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:43.920 like I said, it could be just the fortress that 100 00:06:44.000 --> 00:06:48.319 we have here at Office HD and the Dome of 101 00:06:48.439 --> 00:06:51.360 Silence doesn't allow anything to be written in the two 102 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:56.079 hundred and eighty character app. But I tried this morning 103 00:06:57.439 --> 00:07:00.000 to post the update of yeah, you know, we're gonn 104 00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:01.959 to be up at nine oh five Eastern here on 105 00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:04.480 the network, and this is what we're going to talk about. 106 00:07:05.800 --> 00:07:08.240 And every once in a while I'll try it and 107 00:07:08.279 --> 00:07:10.240 the message will fail, and then I have to come 108 00:07:10.279 --> 00:07:12.319 down here, warm up the computer and get the computer 109 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:17.000 to say it. As opposed to the mobile device. Every 110 00:07:17.120 --> 00:07:22.639 single time recently that I have attempted to post an 111 00:07:22.759 --> 00:07:28.360 update to the mobile device, the two hundred and eighty 112 00:07:28.399 --> 00:07:30.720 character app kind of looks at me and goes, bruh, 113 00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:36.759 not gonna happen. It's really not gonna work. And I 114 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:39.519 didn't know if you guys had the same problems, So, 115 00:07:39.639 --> 00:07:42.319 like I said, I was just checking to see if 116 00:07:42.839 --> 00:07:46.839 there was an issue that you guys had as well 117 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:50.120 trying to post things to the two hundred and eighty 118 00:07:50.199 --> 00:07:52.360 character app. And I mean that just like in any 119 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:55.680 general sense, not just like now or in the eight 120 00:07:55.720 --> 00:07:59.439 o'clock hour Eastern time. I mean like period when you 121 00:07:59.480 --> 00:08:03.360 post thing, are you having problems every single time I 122 00:08:03.360 --> 00:08:08.399 try mobile device versus computer Here in the office of HDNIS, 123 00:08:08.439 --> 00:08:10.079 I always seem to have a problem, and I didn't 124 00:08:10.120 --> 00:08:11.920 know if it was just me, which it probably is, 125 00:08:12.360 --> 00:08:14.519 my phone, which it may be, or the two one 126 00:08:14.560 --> 00:08:17.759 hundred and eighty character app but someone with a higher 127 00:08:17.800 --> 00:08:20.600 pay grade probably has a better thought on that than 128 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:24.680 I do. Okay, just it's just checking, So let me 129 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:26.600 know on the twitch pitch, all right. The other element 130 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.720 of opening kickoff leads us into Bart at nine point 131 00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:31.759 fifteen or and probably close. So Bart's going to be 132 00:08:31.759 --> 00:08:35.200 listening to this too. We're gonna get into refing down 133 00:08:35.240 --> 00:08:39.399 here this morning. And there were instances or incidents in 134 00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.120 the New England All Caps match from the weekend that 135 00:08:43.240 --> 00:08:46.639 drew the ire of an individual, and there were two 136 00:08:46.720 --> 00:08:51.720 specific instances, one that had to do with a handball 137 00:08:51.799 --> 00:08:57.399 call and to the new substitution rule. So after the 138 00:08:57.440 --> 00:08:59.879 match is over, and so Bart gets to listen to 139 00:09:00.279 --> 00:09:02.480 this rant as a part of his open so he 140 00:09:02.480 --> 00:09:06.440 can have his coffee and react in facial expressions, we're 141 00:09:06.440 --> 00:09:09.519 all going to listen to this together. To two draw 142 00:09:09.639 --> 00:09:12.519 was how it ended up with the Revs and All 143 00:09:12.600 --> 00:09:15.200 Caps on the weekend. And this is courtesy of our 144 00:09:15.200 --> 00:09:20.240 friends at Blazing Musket. Blazing Musket found the audio from 145 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.159 the beginning of the Caleb Porter postmatch press conference where 146 00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.200 he was upset about two things and decided to let 147 00:09:28.320 --> 00:09:32.320 the center f have it with not just both barrels, 148 00:09:32.320 --> 00:09:35.000 but any barrel that he could find. And I mean 149 00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:38.399 like he probably went to like Niagara Falls or a rodeo, 150 00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:42.679 grabbed some barrels, brought them with him and posted them 151 00:09:42.720 --> 00:09:46.080 there in the press conference. That's how mad Caleb Porter was. 152 00:09:46.480 --> 00:09:49.399 So here is Caleb Porter, and I will bring in Bart, 153 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:51.480 considering it is nine fifteen and I want to be punctual, 154 00:09:51.519 --> 00:09:53.240 so I just want to say, Hi, Bart, what's in 155 00:09:53.240 --> 00:09:53.840 the mug. 156 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:56.879 Earl Gray tea with honey? 157 00:09:56.960 --> 00:09:59.720 Because John, we're getting over a battle with COVID apparently. 158 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:03.080 Oh no, No, that's that's that's that's not good. That's 159 00:10:03.159 --> 00:10:04.919 that's that's a that's a illegal. 160 00:10:05.120 --> 00:10:08.399 You can't have that illegal. 161 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:11.720 Yes, So, uh so Bart is now here, so Bart 162 00:10:11.720 --> 00:10:14.200 will be able to listen to the rant like the 163 00:10:14.240 --> 00:10:16.720 rest of us. And we're going to listen together to 164 00:10:16.879 --> 00:10:20.519 Caleb Porter because he was mad after the two two 165 00:10:20.639 --> 00:10:23.279 draw and talked about two instances. And we come back 166 00:10:23.320 --> 00:10:25.360 from the Caleb Porter rant, then we'll talk about the 167 00:10:25.360 --> 00:10:28.159 two instances and what you thought about, Uh, the two 168 00:10:28.240 --> 00:10:30.559 instances themselves, Like I said, one has to do with 169 00:10:30.600 --> 00:10:32.720 a handball that wasn't called. The other has to do 170 00:10:32.759 --> 00:10:34.879 with our new substitution rule in Major League Soccer. So 171 00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.440 after the match, Caleb Porter was slightly angry about a 172 00:10:39.480 --> 00:10:42.720 lot of things. And so here's Caleb Porter feeling he 173 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.240 was screwed and let everybody know about it, especially centerth 174 00:10:46.279 --> 00:10:47.639 Timothy Ford. 175 00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:51.159 We're gonna win a lot of games and play that way. 176 00:10:52.399 --> 00:11:03.759 We're very disappointed. It's one hundred percent penalty kick. It's 177 00:11:04.080 --> 00:11:07.440 I don't know how you look honestly at the screen 178 00:11:08.440 --> 00:11:11.960 and decide not to give a penalty. It is a 179 00:11:12.000 --> 00:11:16.759 complete joke. It's a travesty, and there needs to be 180 00:11:17.360 --> 00:11:21.360 some accountability for that decision because we lost two points 181 00:11:21.399 --> 00:11:24.879 because of that decision. And we have literally had that 182 00:11:25.000 --> 00:11:28.559 same thing happen to us three different times where the 183 00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:32.279 official has been sent to the monitor and there's a 184 00:11:32.279 --> 00:11:35.080 clear penalty and the official. 185 00:11:34.720 --> 00:11:36.279 Doesn't call it. 186 00:11:36.360 --> 00:11:37.279 What is happening. 187 00:11:39.519 --> 00:11:43.480 It is mind boggling, mind boggling that he doesn't call 188 00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:45.960 that a penalty. We are the only team in the 189 00:11:46.039 --> 00:11:48.080 league that hasn't had one penalty. 190 00:11:49.279 --> 00:11:50.039 What is happening. 191 00:11:51.200 --> 00:11:54.519 I've never seen anything like it. For me, all I 192 00:11:54.519 --> 00:11:57.360 can say is a complete coward. The referee was a 193 00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:01.639 complete coward in that moment, complete coward, and it's a 194 00:12:01.679 --> 00:12:02.159 Travis Ky. 195 00:12:02.720 --> 00:12:03.639 He shouldn't officiate. 196 00:12:05.000 --> 00:12:09.399 He cost our players two points today, two really important points. 197 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:13.559 And I'm not gonna stand for it. I'm not gonna 198 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:15.240 stand for it. I don't care if I get fined. 199 00:12:15.679 --> 00:12:17.320 I don't care what don Garber says. 200 00:12:17.519 --> 00:12:18.440 What Donn Garver. 201 00:12:18.440 --> 00:12:22.120 Needs to do is look at that situation, look at 202 00:12:22.120 --> 00:12:25.879 the official in that situation, and needs to hold this 203 00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:32.039 official accountable. And then the second part of the joke 204 00:12:32.120 --> 00:12:39.440 show clown show was giving us a penalty for not 205 00:12:39.519 --> 00:12:41.600 getting out of the game. Luca was coming out of 206 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:46.919 the game because he was injured. But we want guys 207 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.759 to literally he couldn't sprint me faster to get out 208 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:53.519 of the game. He couldn't get out of the game 209 00:12:53.639 --> 00:12:56.960 any faster. Initial initially he walked, yes, but then he 210 00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:59.360 sprinted out of the game as fast as he could. 211 00:13:00.080 --> 00:13:04.480 The referee told me that it was fourteen seconds. Fourteen 212 00:13:04.480 --> 00:13:05.840 seconds have took him to get out of the game. 213 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:09.720 So because he's four seconds late because he can't spread 214 00:13:09.759 --> 00:13:15.080 any faster. They penalize us and we end up giving 215 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:19.320 away a goal during that penalty. The game isn't meant 216 00:13:20.399 --> 00:13:23.240 The game isn't meant to be played this way. It's 217 00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:27.360 an absolute joke. You're supposed to, as an official, use 218 00:13:27.399 --> 00:13:31.039 your discretion in those moments. He did not use his 219 00:13:31.159 --> 00:13:35.240 discretion in either of those moments. He missed a clear penalty. 220 00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.759 If he looks at the monitor and decides that's not 221 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:40.759 a penalty, he should not be official in this league. 222 00:13:41.840 --> 00:13:43.679 He's not confident enough to be an official in this 223 00:13:43.759 --> 00:13:50.000 league if he chooses in his discretion to penalize Luca 224 00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:54.039 Langoni when he's sprinting for forty yards to get off 225 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:57.440 the field. He's trying to get off the field. It 226 00:13:57.480 --> 00:14:02.159 was fourteen seconds. The referees are supposed to use their distrettion. 227 00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:07.679 He was walking initially because he was injured. This this 228 00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:13.320 is a joke, and so it's impossible to talk about 229 00:14:13.320 --> 00:14:15.759 the game without talking about those two two moments. 230 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:19.919 For the official, Yo, could did you get an explanation 231 00:14:20.039 --> 00:14:22.519 on that possible handball? 232 00:14:22.879 --> 00:14:24.279 Did you say what it was or was. 233 00:14:24.200 --> 00:14:26.720 It he He said that his arm was in a 234 00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:32.600 natural position. So I don't I don't know about you guys, 235 00:14:32.639 --> 00:14:37.039 but I don't see guys running like this or jumping 236 00:14:37.120 --> 00:14:40.639 like this. If the I he handled the ball right here. 237 00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:44.120 Everybody in the whole stadium saw the replay. 238 00:14:45.279 --> 00:14:45.879 Everybody. 239 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:49.840 If that's not a penalty, that's not a handball, I 240 00:14:49.879 --> 00:14:50.759 don't know what is. 241 00:14:51.919 --> 00:14:53.639 But the fact that he actually. 242 00:14:53.279 --> 00:14:56.919 Looked at it and decided that wasn't he's got no boss. 243 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:02.279 You can't be in this job if you're a coward, 244 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:06.320 if you're not contingent. I liked him as a person. 245 00:15:07.120 --> 00:15:10.279 I think he's a good guy. But at the end 246 00:15:10.279 --> 00:15:13.279 of the day, this is our livelihood, this is these 247 00:15:13.320 --> 00:15:17.679 players' livelihood. We have to have a standard. And even 248 00:15:17.720 --> 00:15:20.399 though he's a good guy, he clearly showed today he 249 00:15:20.440 --> 00:15:24.159 should not be officiating in the league with those decisions. 250 00:15:25.919 --> 00:15:27.519 That's a win, that's a win for us. 251 00:15:27.919 --> 00:15:34.360 Then he took away, So Hi, Bart, good morning. 252 00:15:38.320 --> 00:15:44.480 I thought it would be important to run the entire thing. 253 00:15:44.559 --> 00:15:46.480 And I know that folks are sitting there going, Man, 254 00:15:46.639 --> 00:15:50.919 that was long, but yeah, it was. And it was 255 00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:54.080 two issues that I wanted to bring up on purpose 256 00:15:54.919 --> 00:15:57.440 because I don't like to do sound bites in that situation. 257 00:15:57.879 --> 00:16:01.240 I don't like to do that. And so the two 258 00:16:01.320 --> 00:16:06.039 elements that Caleb Porter brought up was a handball in 259 00:16:07.000 --> 00:16:10.440 where it looked like it was basically a jump ball. 260 00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:13.679 And in this case, and what I'll do is I 261 00:16:13.759 --> 00:16:16.519 will post the link to the Blazing Musket articles where 262 00:16:16.519 --> 00:16:18.519 they have the screen caps and things like that, so 263 00:16:18.600 --> 00:16:21.000 folks can see if they didn't see the match itself, 264 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:24.320 look like it was a jump ball. And you have 265 00:16:24.399 --> 00:16:26.559 a bit of jostling and it is a part and 266 00:16:26.720 --> 00:16:30.759 as the body goes up, then you have that contact 267 00:16:30.759 --> 00:16:33.080 and it kind of clatters around shoulder and shoulder then 268 00:16:33.120 --> 00:16:39.120 goes away. Then the other element is the ten second 269 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:41.919 new rule about get your butt up and get off 270 00:16:41.919 --> 00:16:44.320 the field or you're going to play down a man. 271 00:16:44.759 --> 00:16:47.440 Saint Louis ends up being down a man after it 272 00:16:47.519 --> 00:16:50.600 was judged that Luca Langoni did not leave in a 273 00:16:50.639 --> 00:16:54.480 timely fashion. You're playing shorthanded. It's basically a power play 274 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:56.399 for Saint Louis, and Louis cours to tie it to 275 00:16:56.519 --> 00:16:59.200 with about twenty to go, Caleb Porter's hot which one 276 00:16:59.240 --> 00:16:59.799 you want to start with? 277 00:17:01.039 --> 00:17:03.200 Well, let's start with the substitution, because I think this 278 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:03.879 is a little more. 279 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:04.319 Cut and dry. 280 00:17:04.680 --> 00:17:05.119 Sure. 281 00:17:05.920 --> 00:17:09.519 Look, I think coaches need to realize that referees this 282 00:17:09.640 --> 00:17:12.759 year specifically or not going to be playing around because 283 00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:15.039 these are the rules they've been given. Right, you have 284 00:17:15.079 --> 00:17:17.480 ten seconds to get off the field. You can exit 285 00:17:17.480 --> 00:17:21.319 the field at the closest point. You do not have 286 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:25.000 to go from one corner flag to the center line. 287 00:17:25.039 --> 00:17:26.759 You can go off the field wherever you feel is 288 00:17:26.799 --> 00:17:30.079 the closest point for you. And if you are truly injured, 289 00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:33.240 then you need to stay down and get that medical 290 00:17:33.240 --> 00:17:36.279 help and then go off the field for that. So 291 00:17:36.440 --> 00:17:38.160 I don't really have a whole lot of sympathy in 292 00:17:38.200 --> 00:17:42.000 that situation, to be quite honest, because you know, if 293 00:17:42.000 --> 00:17:44.359 the player was truly injured, then he should have come 294 00:17:44.400 --> 00:17:49.839 off when he when medical with medical help right, training 295 00:17:49.839 --> 00:17:52.640 staff should have been out there, or he could have 296 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:56.480 gone off the closest you know, exit at the closest 297 00:17:56.480 --> 00:17:59.119 point of the field, and I wouldn't have had this issue. 298 00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:02.039 I'm sorry, I just don't have a whole lot of 299 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:04.759 sympathy for that. And I'll be honest John, going into 300 00:18:04.759 --> 00:18:05.839 the next one, I don't have a whole lot of 301 00:18:05.839 --> 00:18:09.400 sympathy for Caleb Porter period you got hired and paid 302 00:18:09.400 --> 00:18:12.160 a decent amount of money to make a team good, 303 00:18:12.799 --> 00:18:15.039 and y'all are worse than Atlanta United, which takes a 304 00:18:15.039 --> 00:18:17.759 lot of you know, that's a lot to accomplish it 305 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:18.200 this series. 306 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:21.839 There you go, all right, So that was point number one, 307 00:18:21.960 --> 00:18:25.519 the exit which created a game time goal and it 308 00:18:25.640 --> 00:18:29.440 stayed to too. The other incident has to do with 309 00:18:30.400 --> 00:18:35.720 a judicating handball once again, and in this particular instance, 310 00:18:35.759 --> 00:18:38.799 once again, it looked like it basically it was a joust, 311 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:41.720 the jousting moment where you have two players going up, 312 00:18:41.720 --> 00:18:47.400 one on each side and you have contact made and 313 00:18:47.559 --> 00:18:51.519 Caleb Porter was of the opinion that in the contact 314 00:18:51.759 --> 00:18:55.119 and as the ball is coming down that it should 315 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:59.000 have been a handball call on Saint Louis and it 316 00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:02.240 was not. Or for Caleb Porter once again was upset. 317 00:19:03.960 --> 00:19:09.079 Once again, go over, if you would please, the idea 318 00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:15.640 of handball and the the allowances that are given center 319 00:19:15.680 --> 00:19:19.119 Refs when it comes to adjudicating a handball in today's game. 320 00:19:20.079 --> 00:19:23.440 Well, the first thing we're looking at here, specifically is 321 00:19:23.759 --> 00:19:26.759 does the ball touch a non playable part of the body. 322 00:19:26.839 --> 00:19:28.799 And it does, right, I think it's very clear that 323 00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:31.440 it touches somewhere above the elbow. 324 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:35.839 At least it was right in here. You know, basically, 325 00:19:36.079 --> 00:19:41.119 you know, shoulder rotator cup is headed down towards the bice. 326 00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:43.920 And it definitely touched you know, what I would consider 327 00:19:43.960 --> 00:19:45.839 an illegal part of the body, right, Like, you're not 328 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:47.359 supposed to be able to touch the ball with that 329 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:51.759 part of your body. But you know, was it deliberate? 330 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:53.559 I don't think it was deliberate. So there's the first 331 00:19:53.599 --> 00:19:55.359 thing that we're checking off us. The ball does not 332 00:19:55.559 --> 00:19:57.160 you know, the hand does not moved towards the ball 333 00:19:57.240 --> 00:20:02.640 or anything. The hand is, however, outside of the natural 334 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:06.240 silhouette of the body, right he has made his body 335 00:20:06.279 --> 00:20:10.440 bigger by putting his hand up. So I think there 336 00:20:10.519 --> 00:20:13.000 is some legitimate question as to why this was not 337 00:20:13.640 --> 00:20:19.119 deemed a handball in the penalty area. But we're also 338 00:20:19.200 --> 00:20:25.319 looking at was there Was it a consequence of the 339 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:29.240 The wording is justifiable by the player's body movement for. 340 00:20:29.200 --> 00:20:30.319 That specific. 341 00:20:32.519 --> 00:20:34.000 And that's where I think we get into the gray 342 00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:38.519 area here, John, is the player is jumping at you know, 343 00:20:38.599 --> 00:20:42.680 to seemingly head the ball. We all know that in 344 00:20:42.720 --> 00:20:46.839 those situations your arms are going to come up you know, 345 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:48.720 you're going to in some way, shape or form, be 346 00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:53.079 using your arms to get more both height and protection. 347 00:20:53.640 --> 00:20:53.720 Right. 348 00:20:54.119 --> 00:20:56.519 And I think the other thing that's not really talked 349 00:20:56.519 --> 00:20:58.240 about in the laws of the game that but that 350 00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:01.240 we do talk about a little bit referee training is 351 00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:05.559 the idea of deflection or the amount of time you 352 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:10.200 have to react to that. And it wasn't like it 353 00:21:10.359 --> 00:21:16.160 was I don't know, kicked directly into his arm, right. 354 00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:20.640 It wasn't like Kyle Hebert was thinking about it then, right, 355 00:21:21.079 --> 00:21:22.720 But yeah, it's like there was. It was it was 356 00:21:22.720 --> 00:21:26.920 a natural reaction to try to contest for a ball 357 00:21:27.000 --> 00:21:31.240 that was elevated. So Hebert is trying to jump up 358 00:21:31.880 --> 00:21:35.200 toward the ball to make contact and he's second to 359 00:21:35.240 --> 00:21:35.680 make cause. 360 00:21:37.319 --> 00:21:41.000 So I think there's a legitimate gripe. But I think 361 00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:43.279 for him to make this to be some sort of 362 00:21:43.359 --> 00:21:47.319 like you know, the referee should never referee again, I 363 00:21:47.359 --> 00:21:49.480 think is a very foolish thing. I mean, I would 364 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:51.839 argue that Caleb Porter doesn't need to be coaching in 365 00:21:51.880 --> 00:21:54.519 this league again, because the man hasn't been able to 366 00:21:54.519 --> 00:21:56.480 get a team into the playoffs and god knows how 367 00:21:56.480 --> 00:21:59.519 many years. So you know, this is one of those 368 00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:03.559 things where where I understand the frustration, but this type 369 00:22:03.559 --> 00:22:10.960 of reaction is completely it's just unacceptable from Caleb. I mean, 370 00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:15.839 this is not a as clear cut as he thinks 371 00:22:15.880 --> 00:22:19.759 it is, especially given the fact that it's more of 372 00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:22.160 a deflection from you know, it's not like this was 373 00:22:22.200 --> 00:22:24.920 a long kick that was hidd into his arm. It 374 00:22:25.079 --> 00:22:29.400 was definitely something that was a boom boom play. That said, 375 00:22:29.440 --> 00:22:31.240 had this been given a penalty kick, I don't think 376 00:22:31.279 --> 00:22:36.920 that heab could have been super upset with being penalized 377 00:22:36.920 --> 00:22:40.599 for that because, again, to quote the laws of the game, 378 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:43.200 by having their hand slash arm in such a position, 379 00:22:43.240 --> 00:22:45.880 the player takes a risk of their hand or arm 380 00:22:46.200 --> 00:22:48.839 being hit by the ball and being penalized. So yeah, 381 00:22:48.920 --> 00:22:53.119 it's a risk, and in this situation, I don't feel 382 00:22:53.119 --> 00:22:56.680 like it was worth penalizing. But had he been penalized, 383 00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:59.839 I don't think there would have been too much that 384 00:22:59.880 --> 00:23:04.079 he could have said that would have saved him. I 385 00:23:04.119 --> 00:23:07.720 don't think that it's I think both instance says I, 386 00:23:08.279 --> 00:23:09.720 especially the substitution thing. 387 00:23:10.319 --> 00:23:11.599 Sorry, that's just the rules. 388 00:23:13.119 --> 00:23:14.119 Them's the rules is what. 389 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:16.240 Them is the rules, And if you are injured, then 390 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:20.440 you need to make that clearer to the referee or 391 00:23:20.440 --> 00:23:22.440 something like something, you know, be like, hey, I can't 392 00:23:22.640 --> 00:23:25.799 you know, leave, but he again, you can leave at 393 00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:28.119 any point in the field that's whatever closest to you 394 00:23:28.960 --> 00:23:31.640 and then goes get medical attention once you're off the field. 395 00:23:33.039 --> 00:23:37.720 And the the rant toward Timothy Ford. While a lot 396 00:23:37.759 --> 00:23:40.799 of managers in Major League Soccer in front office folks, 397 00:23:40.880 --> 00:23:47.079 I'm sure have rants about Timothy Ford totally Atlanta being one, 398 00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:51.960 the Revs being one because Timothy Ford called three first 399 00:23:52.000 --> 00:23:54.519 half penalties against the Revs in a game back in 400 00:23:54.559 --> 00:23:58.880 twenty twenty two against NYCFC. Carlos Heil did remember that 401 00:23:58.960 --> 00:24:00.880 when he was asked about it, you know, post match, 402 00:24:00.920 --> 00:24:07.359 about just the game in general. But how large and like, 403 00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:10.240 we don't really have a base of operations here when 404 00:24:10.279 --> 00:24:13.799 it comes to figuring out length of fines and such. 405 00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:15.759 But how big a fine do you think, How big 406 00:24:15.759 --> 00:24:17.920 an envelope is Caleb Porter going to be getting from 407 00:24:17.920 --> 00:24:20.440 the league office in New York? How big a fine 408 00:24:20.480 --> 00:24:23.480 do you think he gets? And does he get? Does 409 00:24:23.480 --> 00:24:25.480 he get suspended here? Do you have to make an 410 00:24:25.519 --> 00:24:27.960 example of Caleb Porter for the words that he said. 411 00:24:28.039 --> 00:24:29.839 I don't think it's a suspension, but I do think 412 00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:33.920 there's a sizable fine. You know, I don't have off 413 00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:36.119 the top of my head what a what a benchmark 414 00:24:36.160 --> 00:24:39.119 would be for another coach getting fined for referee comments. 415 00:24:39.160 --> 00:24:41.319 But I mean he'll get fine. It'll probably be a 416 00:24:41.359 --> 00:24:42.519 little heftier because. 417 00:24:42.319 --> 00:24:46.720 Of the length and the language use. It wasn't profane, 418 00:24:46.799 --> 00:24:50.279 but it was very strong. Yes, But you know, again, 419 00:24:50.400 --> 00:24:52.960 the other thing is I would agree that Tim Ford 420 00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:57.440 has had been part of some very contentious moments in 421 00:24:57.640 --> 00:25:01.359 MLS this year or even in a year's past, So 422 00:25:01.880 --> 00:25:03.920 you know, he he probably is a referee who needs 423 00:25:03.960 --> 00:25:10.359 a little bit more coaching and a little bit maybe 424 00:25:10.680 --> 00:25:14.119 pay attention more in the uh you know, pre season 425 00:25:15.480 --> 00:25:17.359 modules talking about how do we be a little bit 426 00:25:17.400 --> 00:25:21.319 more consistent across referees across all matches. But you know, 427 00:25:21.400 --> 00:25:24.960 I again, I don't think these two instances are are 428 00:25:25.000 --> 00:25:28.240 something that is an egregious flaw by his referee. 429 00:25:29.599 --> 00:25:32.799 All right, So let's let's put the the reffing down here. 430 00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:37.240 Aside as you sample your earl gray uh, the UH, 431 00:25:37.319 --> 00:25:41.279 the the US national teams plural they are they are active. 432 00:25:41.400 --> 00:25:43.960 Right now. You have some Hawaiian te action going on. 433 00:25:44.799 --> 00:25:46.839 You have some M and T action going on. Let's 434 00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:50.200 start with They'll start with the good stuff. Alex Morgan 435 00:25:50.279 --> 00:25:53.960 yesterday retires. She does. So it was short notice. I 436 00:25:54.000 --> 00:25:56.839 mean I think it was Alix got to post it 437 00:25:56.839 --> 00:25:58.880 all and he's like, hey, guys, look over here by 438 00:25:58.920 --> 00:26:02.680 the way. Yeah, And so the retirement, the retirement notice 439 00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:05.920 comes out on social media, turns out more than short notice. 440 00:26:05.960 --> 00:26:08.799 Twenty six thousand plus end up at Snapdragon to see 441 00:26:08.839 --> 00:26:11.079 her final match. She gets subbed out in the thirteenth minute, 442 00:26:11.119 --> 00:26:13.759 she gets a PK saved. Hey, read the room, Come on, 443 00:26:13.799 --> 00:26:18.440 it's her last match. So Alex Morgan leaves in the 444 00:26:18.480 --> 00:26:21.119 thirteenth minute, very very cool moment where she takes off 445 00:26:21.119 --> 00:26:24.680 her boots and she walks off. When you think of 446 00:26:24.799 --> 00:26:30.680 Alex Morgan and her place in American soccer, whether it's 447 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:34.359 national league, what have you, when I mentioned Alex Morgan, 448 00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:34.960 what comes to. 449 00:26:34.839 --> 00:26:41.599 Mind, Well, I think Alex Morgan as a player has 450 00:26:41.680 --> 00:26:46.279 been someone who has just been kind of as she 451 00:26:46.359 --> 00:26:49.480 has set the standard for what US women's national team 452 00:26:49.519 --> 00:26:52.599 players have to be and how they conduct themselves for. 453 00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:58.759 You know, twelve years now. And I think that that 454 00:26:58.880 --> 00:26:59.279 kind of. 455 00:27:01.119 --> 00:27:03.839 Ability to say this is as this is where you 456 00:27:03.920 --> 00:27:07.359 need to be as a national team player. Has been 457 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.039 integral to the team winning back to back World Cups 458 00:27:11.599 --> 00:27:14.359 to during her time. Maybe she wasn't part of it, 459 00:27:14.400 --> 00:27:17.480 but during her time winning two gold medals, winning another 460 00:27:18.480 --> 00:27:23.200 medal as well, she has been part of the greatest 461 00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:28.039 period of success in US woman's national team history. You know, 462 00:27:28.079 --> 00:27:30.359 she's also been part of some failures. You know, she 463 00:27:30.880 --> 00:27:33.720 was part of that twenty eleven team that failed to 464 00:27:33.759 --> 00:27:36.480 win the only time they've ever lost a World Cup final, 465 00:27:36.559 --> 00:27:39.640 you know, losing in penalty kicks to Japan. She was 466 00:27:39.680 --> 00:27:42.160 a part of that twenty sixteen Olympic team that crashed 467 00:27:42.160 --> 00:27:48.480 out in the first knockout round. But her leadership and 468 00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:53.720 her standard of play is the reason why they were 469 00:27:53.759 --> 00:27:55.279 able to rebound. 470 00:27:55.519 --> 00:27:55.720 You know. 471 00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:58.319 You remember in twenty eleven, okay, well, they lose the 472 00:27:58.319 --> 00:28:00.240 final Japan. What do they do in twenty twelve win 473 00:28:00.240 --> 00:28:02.880 a gold medal? You know, you get knocked out early 474 00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:04.359 in the twenty sixteen Olympics. 475 00:28:04.359 --> 00:28:04.720 What do they do? 476 00:28:04.799 --> 00:28:06.680 Well, twenty nineteen, they go win a World Cup. And 477 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:09.480 that was when she was, you know, a mainstay fixture 478 00:28:09.480 --> 00:28:13.759 of that team. But just her standard of play. Has 479 00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:16.279 been in a role on the field, but then John 480 00:28:16.400 --> 00:28:18.160 off the field is where I think she has been 481 00:28:18.920 --> 00:28:22.960 the most effective. You know, you think about the equal 482 00:28:22.960 --> 00:28:28.359 pay fight, you think about some of the sexual and 483 00:28:28.400 --> 00:28:31.920 personal harassment issues that endab Boselle has dealt with. She 484 00:28:31.960 --> 00:28:34.440 has been a champion of those women who have come 485 00:28:34.480 --> 00:28:37.279 forward with their stories to make sure that other women 486 00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:42.039 can be safe in the league. Stories of her going 487 00:28:42.079 --> 00:28:46.839 over to Tottenham and basically demanding that they have better 488 00:28:46.960 --> 00:28:53.640 playing conditions in Lelona and in Tottenham again. She expects 489 00:28:53.640 --> 00:28:55.960 the standard to play from herself and everyone around her, 490 00:28:56.480 --> 00:28:58.319 and then she expects the people off the field to 491 00:28:58.319 --> 00:29:02.640 give them a certain state entered of support. And you know, 492 00:29:02.680 --> 00:29:06.200 I think that is something that will continue to live 493 00:29:06.240 --> 00:29:11.400 on long after you know, eight twenty whenever. And ended 494 00:29:11.480 --> 00:29:13.319 up being you know, the thirteenth minute of the game 495 00:29:13.519 --> 00:29:15.519 last night when she was taken off. 496 00:29:15.720 --> 00:29:19.440 YEP. The U twenties Women's World Cup made it to 497 00:29:19.480 --> 00:29:23.160 the knockout stage in Colombia with a seven zero win 498 00:29:23.240 --> 00:29:26.039 over Paraguay in the Group C finale. They finished second 499 00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:29.240 in the group. Pietro Tordin had a hat trick and 500 00:29:29.559 --> 00:29:33.160 the second place behind defending champ Spain. They get Mexico 501 00:29:33.359 --> 00:29:37.039 on Wednesday, will be a match of the twenty twenty 502 00:29:37.079 --> 00:29:39.920 three U twenty Championship, which Mexico beat the US two 503 00:29:39.960 --> 00:29:42.720 won the final. Only five starters from a twenty three 504 00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:44.240 team are in Colombia. 505 00:29:44.279 --> 00:29:47.559 By the way, Yeah, that a Mexico game and was 506 00:29:48.680 --> 00:29:52.160 a wild one. US completely dominated and Mexica got two 507 00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:55.559 lucky goals and somehow won that game in Mexico, mind you. 508 00:29:56.119 --> 00:29:59.359 So you know they seem to always play these concic 509 00:29:59.400 --> 00:30:03.000 CAP Championship in Mexico is quite funny. 510 00:30:03.440 --> 00:30:04.759 Yeah, that's It's a good opportunity. 511 00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:07.599 I mean again, I think on the men's side, I 512 00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:10.079 usually am a little indifferent about these tournaments. 513 00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:11.599 I'm just glad we're there and hope we make that 514 00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:12.400 OU at the knockouts. 515 00:30:12.400 --> 00:30:15.319 But on the women's side, especially this team, there's a 516 00:30:15.359 --> 00:30:19.519 lot of professional talent on this team, particularly and despite 517 00:30:19.559 --> 00:30:21.640 the fact that Tracy Kevins is still coaching this team 518 00:30:21.640 --> 00:30:23.319 for god knows what reasons, I don't know why she 519 00:30:23.319 --> 00:30:25.839 has been catapulted into the sun. She's a terrible coach. 520 00:30:26.480 --> 00:30:29.920 She continues to just squander talent anytime that she's ever 521 00:30:29.960 --> 00:30:32.720 been a part of coaching staff for this youth program, 522 00:30:32.720 --> 00:30:34.759 and I don't know why she's still here. I hope 523 00:30:34.799 --> 00:30:36.960 Emma Hayes that's the first thing that she actually does 524 00:30:37.440 --> 00:30:40.279 post Olympics is get rid of her. But this team 525 00:30:40.359 --> 00:30:42.519 is I'm sorry that was a rant that a lot 526 00:30:42.519 --> 00:30:48.799 of us in soccer felt, uh Like y'all complain about Burhalter. 527 00:30:51.279 --> 00:30:53.480 But but this team has a lot of professional talent 528 00:30:53.559 --> 00:30:56.079 on it. Like literally, there's a lot of players who played. 529 00:30:55.759 --> 00:30:57.160 Professionally on this team. 530 00:30:57.759 --> 00:30:58.039 Uh. 531 00:30:58.119 --> 00:31:01.680 And and you need to start raising the expectation for 532 00:31:02.279 --> 00:31:05.440 these age groups because just being there isn't good enough, 533 00:31:05.960 --> 00:31:09.720 and we need to start taking advantage of these opportunities 534 00:31:09.720 --> 00:31:13.000 to build not just team cohesion, but expand the player 535 00:31:13.039 --> 00:31:17.079 pool and really build out what needs to be the 536 00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:19.640 most robust player pool in the world. 537 00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:21.240 You know, I think. 538 00:31:23.000 --> 00:31:26.160 Specifically to Mexico, you better go win. You're a better 539 00:31:26.200 --> 00:31:28.200 team than they are, you have been for a long time. 540 00:31:29.000 --> 00:31:31.359 And after that, you know, you just try to win 541 00:31:31.400 --> 00:31:34.000 the next game. But yeah, these youth tournaments for the 542 00:31:34.000 --> 00:31:36.079 women need to start being a little bit more emphasized 543 00:31:36.319 --> 00:31:40.599 and winning because we need to kind of reclaim that 544 00:31:40.720 --> 00:31:45.119 top spot. And you know, Spain has dominated the youthful 545 00:31:45.240 --> 00:31:48.960 ranks for a decade now. There's a reason they're one 546 00:31:48.960 --> 00:31:51.480 of the best national teams in the world. But we've 547 00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:55.319 got to start performing better in these tournaments to get 548 00:31:55.359 --> 00:31:56.440 back to that spot as well. 549 00:31:57.440 --> 00:32:01.359 Men's side, it looks like, i use the words, looks 550 00:32:01.519 --> 00:32:05.519 like it looks like we're getting closer, closer and closer 551 00:32:05.599 --> 00:32:08.759 and closer and closer and closer to some kind of 552 00:32:08.759 --> 00:32:14.640 official announcement with trumpeted fanfare from parapets upon high in 553 00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:18.599 you know, Roman castles from the seventeenth century or something, 554 00:32:19.079 --> 00:32:21.720 with the flags draping down as they would always do. 555 00:32:22.599 --> 00:32:25.519 Looks like we're getting close to Mauricio Pochettino because we 556 00:32:25.599 --> 00:32:28.599 had an announcement over the weekend. It looks like the staff, 557 00:32:28.640 --> 00:32:32.400 the main staff that he traditionally has and has headed 558 00:32:32.440 --> 00:32:34.920 all of his stops as far back as folks can remember, 559 00:32:35.240 --> 00:32:38.000 will be the staff that he brings in for the 560 00:32:38.119 --> 00:32:41.839 national team. So it's like it's gonna be Mauricio and 561 00:32:41.880 --> 00:32:44.519 his and his crew coming in here for this when 562 00:32:44.559 --> 00:32:45.920 this becomes finally final. 563 00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:48.200 Yeah, I think people forget that. 564 00:32:48.200 --> 00:32:51.279 That's like a big part of these coaching negotiations as 565 00:32:51.279 --> 00:32:52.519 well as who they. 566 00:32:52.359 --> 00:32:52.960 Can bring in. 567 00:32:54.480 --> 00:32:57.279 And you know, if POC costs a lot of money, 568 00:32:57.359 --> 00:32:59.079 his staff is going to cost a lot of money 569 00:32:59.119 --> 00:33:01.039 as well. And so in it's about how do we 570 00:33:01.079 --> 00:33:03.359 find that that money in. 571 00:33:03.279 --> 00:33:05.400 The coffers for professorships? 572 00:33:05.480 --> 00:33:08.799 Yes, yeah, how do we how do we sponsor how 573 00:33:08.839 --> 00:33:12.440 do we get those endowments, uh to. 574 00:33:12.039 --> 00:33:13.000 To keep those. 575 00:33:14.720 --> 00:33:18.240 Players or excuse me, those coaches with him? Yes, you 576 00:33:18.279 --> 00:33:19.920 know we did this with Emma. She got a lot 577 00:33:19.920 --> 00:33:21.640 of the staff that she normally has had with her 578 00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:23.680 throughout her time at Chelsea to come over. 579 00:33:25.319 --> 00:33:25.640 Again. 580 00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:29.599 There are there are a lot of things. 581 00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:33.240 To these coaching negotiations, and one thing people do have 582 00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:35.319 to remember about US soccer is it is not one 583 00:33:35.319 --> 00:33:39.559 person or one board necessarily making a decision. They're not 584 00:33:40.519 --> 00:33:42.319 just full time all the way there, you know, and 585 00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:46.720 they're certainly not in one location. So these things don't 586 00:33:46.799 --> 00:33:48.640 just come together. 587 00:33:49.720 --> 00:33:49.920 You know. 588 00:33:49.960 --> 00:33:53.519 The word is that they are meeting today to approve that, 589 00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:57.200 because you know they have to, you know, virtually. 590 00:33:57.240 --> 00:33:58.319 I'm sure that makes a lot of. 591 00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:00.240 Things a little bit easier, but you know, they're they're 592 00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:02.960 they're not those people aren't necessarily employees, if you will 593 00:34:02.960 --> 00:34:04.839 of us soccer. They're not on the clock nine to 594 00:34:04.880 --> 00:34:10.199 five for US Soccer today, so it it is coming together. 595 00:34:11.480 --> 00:34:15.119 Hopefully we have an announcement before tomorrow because by guy, we. 596 00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:17.119 Need we need to coach in here, cut John. 597 00:34:17.239 --> 00:34:20.599 Someone who is going to hold these players accountable because 598 00:34:20.599 --> 00:34:23.360 they're saretell ain't seem to be able to do it themselves. 599 00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:25.840 Yeah, And like I said, this is why I was 600 00:34:25.880 --> 00:34:29.079 building to this for the remainder of the segment or 601 00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.079 however much longer you want to talk about it, up 602 00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:33.480 to the top of the hour, because I think we. 603 00:34:33.440 --> 00:34:34.760 Talked about Alex Morgan again. 604 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:38.800 I mean, yeah, well, I think I think we're gonna 605 00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:40.679 be able to have our guests coming up at the 606 00:34:40.679 --> 00:34:42.920 top of the next hour. So if this, if if 607 00:34:42.960 --> 00:34:46.920 technology works, it's going to be very very cool. I'm 608 00:34:46.960 --> 00:34:49.679 just gonna go ahead and ask it this way. What 609 00:34:49.840 --> 00:34:54.400 in the blue hell happened in this matchup against Canada 610 00:34:54.519 --> 00:34:59.000 where apparently now if the if the the numbers are correct, 611 00:34:59.199 --> 00:35:03.440 it's the first home defeat to Canada in sixty seven 612 00:35:04.239 --> 00:35:08.559 years years? Man, what happened here? 613 00:35:09.559 --> 00:35:11.599 Well, I think we need to look at this on 614 00:35:11.639 --> 00:35:15.079 a couple of things. One, Canada cared a lot about 615 00:35:15.079 --> 00:35:18.400 this game as they're going to care about every game 616 00:35:18.400 --> 00:35:22.119 because that's how Jesse Marsh coaches, right, He's going to 617 00:35:22.199 --> 00:35:25.360 be everything, s geared up for everything, and you know 618 00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:29.360 that's great. That can take you far, but it can 619 00:35:29.400 --> 00:35:33.079 also fizzle out really quickly, So good for him. They're 620 00:35:33.119 --> 00:35:36.519 still in the honeymoon stage of his coaching. They you know, 621 00:35:36.519 --> 00:35:38.400 they did finally figure out how to score goals, which 622 00:35:38.440 --> 00:35:41.880 was a struggle for their first like five matches. On 623 00:35:41.920 --> 00:35:46.039 the flip side, the US played terribly. No player seemed 624 00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:48.480 to want to grasp. No starters seemed to want to 625 00:35:48.519 --> 00:35:53.000 grasp the moment of an opportunity to prove themselves without 626 00:35:53.039 --> 00:35:54.800 a head coach that you know, there were there were 627 00:35:54.800 --> 00:35:59.239 guys on this field who had opportunities to really make 628 00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:02.400 their case to the new the incoming coach, whoever that 629 00:36:02.480 --> 00:36:05.400 might be. Even if it's not poach shit could have 630 00:36:05.400 --> 00:36:05.840 been Mikey. 631 00:36:06.000 --> 00:36:07.719 I mean, hey, there you go. 632 00:36:07.800 --> 00:36:12.280 There, there's there. It is explicitly thirty six minutes in 633 00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:13.519 out a boy. Uh. 634 00:36:13.880 --> 00:36:17.639 You know, no one seemed poised to want to make 635 00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:20.239 a name for themselves or show out in a good way. 636 00:36:20.639 --> 00:36:23.159 And there were definitely some players on this field who 637 00:36:23.159 --> 00:36:27.760 had chances to do that. I think Malik Tillman looked 638 00:36:27.920 --> 00:36:30.840 the best side of those kind of like not on 639 00:36:30.880 --> 00:36:33.239 the bubble players, but those players who needed to prove 640 00:36:33.280 --> 00:36:37.000 that they belong. I will be honest, I'm very disappointed 641 00:36:37.039 --> 00:36:39.840 Caleb Wyley wasn't in this game because Christopher Lund provided 642 00:36:40.679 --> 00:36:43.199 very little of any sort of positivity on the field, 643 00:36:43.559 --> 00:36:47.159 right And Johnny Cardoso is a major disappointment. You just 644 00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:48.400 have to call it like it is. I mean, we've 645 00:36:48.440 --> 00:36:50.920 been wanting to see him for the US national team. 646 00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:56.440 He's performed well in Brazil, performed very well relatively going 647 00:36:56.480 --> 00:37:02.199 over to Spain. And the reason he were stumped why 648 00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:05.400 can't he play better with the US men's national team? 649 00:37:05.440 --> 00:37:07.519 Is it just because he's in a single pivot versus 650 00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:09.800 a double pivot? Like that shouldn't be the reason you 651 00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:11.880 still had unis Musa dropping very deep. I mean they 652 00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:16.800 were basically playing a double pivot, you know it was 653 00:37:19.760 --> 00:37:23.079 there was a lack of desire from this men's national 654 00:37:23.119 --> 00:37:26.920 team that has been here and I'm sorry to go 655 00:37:27.000 --> 00:37:29.639 back to him, but it's been here since the second 656 00:37:29.800 --> 00:37:33.840 era of Greg Berholter taking over, and for some reason, 657 00:37:34.000 --> 00:37:38.800 some sort of malaise and complacency has crept into the system, 658 00:37:39.639 --> 00:37:42.719 crept into this program, and the guys do not feel 659 00:37:43.079 --> 00:37:46.039 like they need to actually improve upon what they did 660 00:37:46.079 --> 00:37:49.360 in twenty twenty two. And that's really really frustrating. And 661 00:37:49.440 --> 00:37:51.320 at this point you do have to question the players 662 00:37:51.360 --> 00:37:55.039 and their leadership because I'll call him out, Christian Polistic. 663 00:37:55.119 --> 00:37:57.239 He's just not that type of leader, right, That's not 664 00:37:57.280 --> 00:37:59.000 who he is. He's a I'm going to do it 665 00:37:59.000 --> 00:38:01.199 by how I play. And he didn't play poorly by 666 00:38:01.199 --> 00:38:04.840 any stretch. But you know, you were missing Tyler Adams, 667 00:38:04.880 --> 00:38:08.239 you were missing Weston McKinney, you're missing Jedi Robinson, guys 668 00:38:08.239 --> 00:38:13.280 who have been kind of those types of more vocal vibe, 669 00:38:13.320 --> 00:38:18.360 spased leaders. And you know, Tim Raim has said it, 670 00:38:18.400 --> 00:38:20.639 there are guys who aren't taking it seriously enough for 671 00:38:21.519 --> 00:38:24.760 you know, playing for the national team. At the same time, 672 00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:26.880 Tim Raim had a terrible game, So you know, how 673 00:38:26.960 --> 00:38:30.639 much of that do you take into consideration. You know, again, 674 00:38:30.719 --> 00:38:32.920 we're trotting out Tim Raim despite the fact that all 675 00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:34.599 signs are saying we need to start moving on. 676 00:38:35.599 --> 00:38:36.760 So some of this is on Mikey. 677 00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:41.400 You know, there's a reason he hasn't succeeded anywhere he's been, 678 00:38:41.440 --> 00:38:45.519 to be quite honest, as a head coach, and you know, 679 00:38:45.559 --> 00:38:48.440 outside of a good you know, Conker Cafew twenty run, 680 00:38:49.559 --> 00:38:51.519 hasn't really had a lot of success as a head coach. 681 00:38:51.599 --> 00:38:52.519 So you know, there's that. 682 00:38:55.079 --> 00:38:57.559 It was frustrating they couldn't pass to each other. Part 683 00:38:57.599 --> 00:39:00.000 of that is because again, this system that they continue 684 00:39:00.159 --> 00:39:03.719 to play, and Mikey's system is very different, not very 685 00:39:03.719 --> 00:39:08.559 different from Burhalters, if there is any difference, continues to 686 00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:14.960 be slow, continues to not demand players move into open 687 00:39:14.960 --> 00:39:17.239 space even to receive a pass. I mean that first 688 00:39:17.239 --> 00:39:19.880 goal was because Patrick Schulte took ten felt like ten 689 00:39:19.920 --> 00:39:22.360 minutes trying to find anyone who is moving into an 690 00:39:22.360 --> 00:39:25.320 open space. So he has to go short to Tim Reem, 691 00:39:25.360 --> 00:39:28.400 which invites the whole Canada team to do the one 692 00:39:28.400 --> 00:39:32.119 thing they want to do, which is press, and Johnny 693 00:39:32.159 --> 00:39:34.000 makes a really bad decision on a pass. He had 694 00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:35.519 plenty of time, he didn't have to do that. But 695 00:39:35.559 --> 00:39:38.119 when you're under pressure like that, you're going to make 696 00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:43.880 bad decisions. That's the red Bull way, and you give 697 00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:49.440 up a goal, you know. And then conversely, they defended 698 00:39:49.599 --> 00:39:54.039 with heart, They defended with determination and that kept you 699 00:39:54.199 --> 00:39:56.480 off the board for the most of the game, as 700 00:39:56.480 --> 00:39:59.679 well as just flat out fizzling out attacks when he 701 00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:02.840 didn't too, because again we don't have enough support in 702 00:40:02.880 --> 00:40:05.480 the box, which is a common theme under Greg Berhalter, 703 00:40:05.599 --> 00:40:08.159 and it's continuing under Mikey Virus because he's not a 704 00:40:08.159 --> 00:40:08.800 real head coach. 705 00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:14.840 The way that it laid out Jesse Marsh after the match, 706 00:40:16.400 --> 00:40:23.320 it was very, very intriguing. And so hang on just 707 00:40:23.400 --> 00:40:26.239 second and let me get to the quote. I'd rather 708 00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:28.760 coach our team right now, one hundred percent, no questions asked, 709 00:40:28.840 --> 00:40:30.559 Marsh said after the win. You can see the mentality 710 00:40:30.559 --> 00:40:32.320 has been developed. You can see the way this team plays. 711 00:40:32.360 --> 00:40:33.719 You can see how much they love playing for the 712 00:40:33.800 --> 00:40:35.599 national team, willing to put their careers and lives and 713 00:40:35.639 --> 00:40:36.760 the way they play on the line to be the 714 00:40:36.800 --> 00:40:38.760 best they can be for each other and for the team. 715 00:40:38.800 --> 00:40:41.159 That's all you can ask for as a coach. Bart 716 00:40:41.280 --> 00:40:44.280 guess what I'm gonna put a bookmark in this because 717 00:40:44.360 --> 00:40:48.719 our guest is early. Our guest is early. Get this 718 00:40:48.840 --> 00:40:53.719 all right, So after what happened last week, and I'm 719 00:40:53.719 --> 00:40:56.519 gonna do a little bit set up here we have 720 00:40:57.159 --> 00:41:03.599 on the network, we have somewhat adopted our friends from 721 00:41:03.639 --> 00:41:05.960 San Marino. All right, so and we all know what 722 00:41:06.079 --> 00:41:11.239 happened and what happened last week. So here's here's the 723 00:41:11.280 --> 00:41:13.559 proof that we've adopted our friends from San Marino. So 724 00:41:13.719 --> 00:41:17.599 after the wind, I reached out and I'm like, hey, 725 00:41:17.639 --> 00:41:22.199 can we talk about what happened here? And guess what 726 00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:26.679 we're gonna do it? All right, so let's check technology 727 00:41:28.320 --> 00:41:32.719 and Luca, how are you? How are you mine? 728 00:41:32.800 --> 00:41:35.920 Fine? Really really fine? Thank you? 729 00:41:36.000 --> 00:41:41.039 And you I'm doing great? Man. Hey, look as I 730 00:41:41.079 --> 00:41:43.320 as I was telling our friends here on the show, 731 00:41:43.480 --> 00:41:44.960 I said. 732 00:41:45.039 --> 00:41:47.119 Yeah, it's the really nicest car. 733 00:41:48.320 --> 00:41:51.079 Yep, and it is. It is only a part of it. 734 00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:55.880 And so we last week after the wind, we went 735 00:41:55.920 --> 00:41:58.199 ahead and said we are all San Marino here on 736 00:41:58.239 --> 00:42:00.719 the network, were we are all sand We could not 737 00:42:00.760 --> 00:42:03.800 have been happier for you with what happened. And I 738 00:42:03.920 --> 00:42:06.639 reached out and I wanted to say and I wanted 739 00:42:06.679 --> 00:42:10.960 to see if we could get some kind of a response. 740 00:42:11.119 --> 00:42:13.559 And you reached out and you were like, yeah, man, 741 00:42:14.400 --> 00:42:16.239 we can talk it through. And I know that you're 742 00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:18.159 you're in Moldova, right. 743 00:42:18.840 --> 00:42:22.360 Correct, We checked in in our hotel one hour ago 744 00:42:22.440 --> 00:42:26.480 because we had the late flight schedule this morning with 745 00:42:26.599 --> 00:42:30.519 our chapter flights to reach Moldova and play tomorrow our 746 00:42:32.239 --> 00:42:36.440 official friendly. But yeah, here we are. I just entered 747 00:42:36.440 --> 00:42:37.679 the room at ten minutes ago. 748 00:42:38.559 --> 00:42:40.960 It's all good, brother. I won't keep you too long. 749 00:42:41.239 --> 00:42:43.840 I'll probably keep you until five o'clock your time, and 750 00:42:43.880 --> 00:42:45.599 then that way you can go and actually take care 751 00:42:45.639 --> 00:42:49.280 of stuff instead of talking to us morning shows. By 752 00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:52.760 the way, Luca Pettitcioni. He is the press officer for 753 00:42:52.800 --> 00:42:56.559 the San Marino Federation and the San Marino squad that 754 00:42:56.960 --> 00:43:00.960 got the win last week to break a losing streak 755 00:43:01.039 --> 00:43:04.719 and the unbeat the bet the it's just the streak. 756 00:43:05.119 --> 00:43:06.719 Let's call it what it is. What did it means? 757 00:43:06.800 --> 00:43:10.119 Let me let me ask this to get to win 758 00:43:11.400 --> 00:43:17.760 and have the windless streak stop after twenty years? What 759 00:43:18.000 --> 00:43:20.920 did that mean to the country and to those who 760 00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:24.400 love the sport of soccer in your country. 761 00:43:24.840 --> 00:43:29.039 You probably cannot see my goosebuand but that's it. You know, 762 00:43:29.239 --> 00:43:34.599 it means everything to some Marina because before starting to 763 00:43:34.679 --> 00:43:37.239 work in the football serciation as a press officer, I 764 00:43:37.320 --> 00:43:41.480 used to to work like as per journalists in Samarno devastations. 765 00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:46.280 So I'm handling Sammarines football since fifteen years more or less. 766 00:43:46.679 --> 00:43:50.639 And then immedia that was outside the country that we're 767 00:43:50.679 --> 00:43:56.239 asking for information on Smarno or asking about interviews or contents, 768 00:43:56.320 --> 00:44:01.559 were all about this losing strike. Then we start to 769 00:44:03.039 --> 00:44:07.159 have some draws, thanks also for to the withinations leagues 770 00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:11.320 that start these path eight years ago, six years ago 771 00:44:11.519 --> 00:44:14.960 to be to be more precise. And then they ask 772 00:44:15.800 --> 00:44:19.119 when are you stopping this not scoring strike? Then we 773 00:44:19.199 --> 00:44:23.760 started scoring because last year we got some headlines and 774 00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:28.320 also FORIGN newspapers and medias for three in a row 775 00:44:28.639 --> 00:44:34.239 Goes scored against Denmark, Finland, Kazakcident. Then the question became 776 00:44:34.400 --> 00:44:36.679 when you're going to win since you're not winning for 777 00:44:37.159 --> 00:44:41.039 one under forty games. Yeah, we won, we won last Tuesday. 778 00:44:41.559 --> 00:44:44.559 I think we are going to post so many trowbacks 779 00:44:44.599 --> 00:44:49.679 Thursday contents and in the next week's next week's coming. 780 00:44:50.159 --> 00:44:53.599 But you know, any any of these one underd forty 781 00:44:53.639 --> 00:45:00.000 games played by Samarina against how to say, some month 782 00:45:00.480 --> 00:45:04.920 clib monster teams like England the Netherlands were for sure 783 00:45:05.480 --> 00:45:09.519 defeat announced it announced defeat even before the starting with so, 784 00:45:09.639 --> 00:45:14.440 but our players always shown their pride and swet their 785 00:45:14.519 --> 00:45:17.679 jersey even if they were fully aware that they were 786 00:45:17.679 --> 00:45:22.719 going to a defeat. I think they see the opportunity 787 00:45:22.840 --> 00:45:26.000 and they exploited. They shown on the pitch last Tuesday 788 00:45:26.039 --> 00:45:28.760 that they really want to win this game and they 789 00:45:28.800 --> 00:45:32.559 want it means everything for Summaria players, to any sacrifice 790 00:45:32.599 --> 00:45:35.360 they're going to go through any week. 791 00:45:36.400 --> 00:45:41.519 And the young man that scored wasn't even alive when 792 00:45:41.559 --> 00:45:44.840 the streak started, I mean Nicos and sol Is nineteen. 793 00:45:45.440 --> 00:45:49.519 The streak was twenty years old. To have folks who 794 00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:52.519 are still wanting to be a part of things, To 795 00:45:52.599 --> 00:45:54.920 have the younger players still sit there and say, yes, 796 00:45:54.960 --> 00:45:56.519 I want to be a part of the San Marino 797 00:45:56.679 --> 00:46:00.239 national team. What does that mean that folks still want 798 00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:03.360 to be a part of it even though things had 799 00:46:03.360 --> 00:46:05.440 not been going well up until last week. 800 00:46:08.639 --> 00:46:14.519 You know, the theme of youngsters, it's really a new 801 00:46:14.559 --> 00:46:18.280 one in sub Marina because since we have really few players, 802 00:46:18.280 --> 00:46:22.800 because to get a submarine's passport it's really really difficult. 803 00:46:22.840 --> 00:46:27.920 And our country is made of sixty one kilometers squared 804 00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:34.039 and thirty five thousand people throughout the country, So this 805 00:46:34.199 --> 00:46:37.440 basically means that you can count on forty to fifty 806 00:46:37.880 --> 00:46:41.960 players that normally are splitted between under twenty one and 807 00:46:42.039 --> 00:46:46.400 the A team. But from a couple of years the 808 00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:51.440 approach was slightly different. If in the past who had 809 00:46:51.480 --> 00:46:54.320 to completely recycle in under twenty one and then move 810 00:46:54.480 --> 00:46:57.119 on the eight team. Now we don't have any more 811 00:46:57.159 --> 00:47:00.679 the fear to launch some youngster in the in the team. 812 00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:07.159 You can see from March onwards, I think eight players 813 00:47:08.360 --> 00:47:12.000 under twenty three made their deboots with the national team 814 00:47:12.000 --> 00:47:14.239 of Submarino. One of them scored in June at the 815 00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:19.119 very first caps It's manager Condy Nico sensually had four 816 00:47:19.199 --> 00:47:24.079 caps with the one IT goal scored. But it's very 817 00:47:24.360 --> 00:47:26.480 the boot in a competitive game because it played the 818 00:47:26.480 --> 00:47:30.719 three three friendlies. A couple of players born in two 819 00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:33.719 thousand and five two thousand and six were playing last Tuesday. 820 00:47:33.760 --> 00:47:37.760 You know, if you need it, you're probably will be 821 00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:42.119 pushed to do it. But it's not so easier to 822 00:47:42.159 --> 00:47:47.159 think because I mean, this is also the product of 823 00:47:47.199 --> 00:47:51.280 a change of mentality that this federation tried to embrace, 824 00:47:51.880 --> 00:47:55.320 fully aware that it may lead also to big defeats, 825 00:47:55.360 --> 00:47:58.159 but we are quite used to big defeats, so why 826 00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:02.239 not try to approach the the situation from another point 827 00:48:02.239 --> 00:48:02.639 of view. 828 00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:09.639 Has it sunk in that that the last twenty years 829 00:48:09.719 --> 00:48:13.239 are now, the windless streak is over. Has it really 830 00:48:13.360 --> 00:48:17.199 sunk into everyone there, not just on the team and 831 00:48:17.239 --> 00:48:20.960 it plays the sport, but to the those who live there. 832 00:48:21.480 --> 00:48:24.239 Has it really sunk in that the streak is over? 833 00:48:25.960 --> 00:48:30.360 You know, you can never seen ever in both directions, 834 00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:36.519 because we are fully aware that we weren't. I think 835 00:48:36.559 --> 00:48:39.159 we weren't the worst team in the world. Even the 836 00:48:39.480 --> 00:48:43.440 diff ranking was telling this, but we hadn't another the 837 00:48:43.519 --> 00:48:50.320 chance to challenge our opponents in South Asia Conference, for example. 838 00:48:50.559 --> 00:48:52.360 But we are fully aware we're not the worst in 839 00:48:52.800 --> 00:48:56.719 the world. After this winning We're not in Brazil, so 840 00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:02.800 for sure, I mean in the this victory drove to 841 00:49:02.920 --> 00:49:09.320 a different perception from outside because we are and we 842 00:49:09.320 --> 00:49:13.119 were and we'll always be fully aware of what we 843 00:49:13.159 --> 00:49:17.199 are who we are. But probably from abroad there is 844 00:49:17.239 --> 00:49:21.599 this condition of thunderdog. The always losing team as well, 845 00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:29.119 seem like why they're taking part to this international stage 846 00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:33.480 if they're losing all time, why they should compete in 847 00:49:33.519 --> 00:49:36.079 a group. If they are going to lose all the 848 00:49:36.440 --> 00:49:40.400 all the game and the other five teams are always 849 00:49:40.440 --> 00:49:43.960 get six points with them. I think that we demonstrated 850 00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:47.360 that we deserve to stay in this stage even if 851 00:49:47.360 --> 00:49:51.119 we are going to lose the upcoming thirty thirty matches. 852 00:49:52.519 --> 00:49:56.079 From a Summarian's point of view, I cannot tell you 853 00:49:56.119 --> 00:49:59.360 that the average Summarians player is so proud of the 854 00:50:00.000 --> 00:50:04.320 sports achievement. Probably they're not used as well. We've seen 855 00:50:04.360 --> 00:50:08.800 also in the recent in Tokyo Olympics so three years ago, 856 00:50:08.880 --> 00:50:14.440 where we got three medals, and it's an incredible thing 857 00:50:14.519 --> 00:50:19.239 if you just think about the average medal for population, 858 00:50:21.079 --> 00:50:26.519 but not so much celebration or part is something normal 859 00:50:26.639 --> 00:50:31.159 like the defeat. Also the you know, also the good 860 00:50:31.199 --> 00:50:34.119 things are taken with all our profile sub marine. I 861 00:50:34.119 --> 00:50:35.639 don't know why, but that's it. 862 00:50:36.559 --> 00:50:42.719 So you've got the matchup coming up, and when you 863 00:50:43.800 --> 00:50:47.000 now have what's going on there in Moldova obviously right 864 00:50:47.000 --> 00:50:50.639 now Group D one Nations League. Right now you're on 865 00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:53.880 top and there's going to be the matchup with Gibraltar 866 00:50:53.960 --> 00:50:56.719 to determine who wins the group coming up down the road. 867 00:50:58.480 --> 00:51:01.800 When you have matchups like this one coming up with Moldova, 868 00:51:02.679 --> 00:51:05.599 what do you, what do you think you're willing to 869 00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:09.880 learn about yourselves as a team with this friendly coming 870 00:51:09.960 --> 00:51:11.559 up with Moldova where you are right. 871 00:51:11.480 --> 00:51:15.800 Now, I should forward this question to ad the head 872 00:51:15.800 --> 00:51:20.280 coach to have a proper reply. But from a point 873 00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:23.559 of view, all the games in which some Marineans vote 874 00:51:23.639 --> 00:51:27.119 is involved are the most important of the world. From 875 00:51:27.119 --> 00:51:31.760 our point of view, there's no difference between friendly or 876 00:51:32.440 --> 00:51:35.960 competitive games, at least in the previous one hunder forty 877 00:51:36.320 --> 00:51:42.400 games according to the Gibraltar littens and fixtures a couple 878 00:51:42.480 --> 00:51:45.760 of days ago. For sure, the next one would be 879 00:51:46.440 --> 00:51:48.639 really really different because as you said, you are on 880 00:51:48.679 --> 00:51:54.239 top of the league with the two points on Gibraltar, 881 00:51:54.440 --> 00:51:58.280 and if this game against Moldova friendly would have been 882 00:51:59.159 --> 00:52:02.559 just three days before the game in Gibraltar, for sure 883 00:52:02.599 --> 00:52:04.920 would have been approached in a different way, I'm sure 884 00:52:04.920 --> 00:52:09.679 also to preserve and to avoid the potential injury or 885 00:52:09.719 --> 00:52:13.599 something like that. But summar In his players have a 886 00:52:13.639 --> 00:52:19.079 lot to to to understand two two, to pick up 887 00:52:19.159 --> 00:52:21.880 from from any game, from any training and so on. 888 00:52:22.000 --> 00:52:25.599 This would be just another opportunity to raise the bar, 889 00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:30.159 to increase the level, to better our performance, and you know, 890 00:52:30.320 --> 00:52:33.119 to approach a game against another team like Moldova that 891 00:52:33.239 --> 00:52:35.960 is competing in the league of the way, the Nationals 892 00:52:36.039 --> 00:52:39.599 League and the other group. So also to to to 893 00:52:39.679 --> 00:52:42.840 see if we are on the same level or how 894 00:52:42.880 --> 00:52:44.320 far we are from them. 895 00:52:44.760 --> 00:52:46.679 When is the match up against Gibraltar. 896 00:52:48.119 --> 00:52:50.480 Uh, it's mid October, okay? 897 00:52:50.599 --> 00:52:53.119 And is it in San Marino at the study O 898 00:52:53.119 --> 00:52:54.360 Aplica or is it there? 899 00:52:55.079 --> 00:52:57.599 No, it will be played in Gibraltar, okay. 900 00:52:58.119 --> 00:53:02.000 Uh. Well, glad that we were able to catch up. 901 00:53:02.280 --> 00:53:04.639 Glad you made it to Moldova safely. Moldova right now 902 00:53:04.719 --> 00:53:08.119 leading in Group D two by the way, and uh, Luca, 903 00:53:08.199 --> 00:53:11.599 I cannot thank you enough for coming on an American 904 00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:14.760 morning show to talk about everything going on there in 905 00:53:14.800 --> 00:53:17.679 San Marino.

Oh why bye bye? 919 00:53:57.280 --> 00:54:00.559 All right. Luca PETACIONI he's the press officer for the 920 00:54:00.599 --> 00:54:07.599 San Marino national team. That's fantastic, that is absolutely fantastic. 921 00:54:08.119 --> 00:54:11.400 The beauty of stream yard and as I said, we 922 00:54:11.440 --> 00:54:16.000 are all San Marino. And I'm hoping that I didn't 923 00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:20.480 scare Bart away because we were getting into we were 924 00:54:20.480 --> 00:54:23.079 really getting into the discussion about the US men's national 925 00:54:23.079 --> 00:54:26.960 team and Luca called in early. So Luca called in 926 00:54:27.000 --> 00:54:29.880 early at ten a quarter to ten. He wasn't supposed 927 00:54:29.880 --> 00:54:31.639 to call in until ten o'clock, but he got in 928 00:54:31.639 --> 00:54:37.280 the hotel room and at ten thirty hour time, five 929 00:54:37.480 --> 00:54:41.920 thirty local they've got to do their match day minus 930 00:54:41.960 --> 00:54:50.760 one press conference stuff with Moldova. So here's here just 931 00:54:50.760 --> 00:54:53.119 to recap before Bart comes back on. And Bart knows 932 00:54:53.159 --> 00:54:57.480 he's coming. So literally after they won and beat Liechtenstein, 933 00:54:57.679 --> 00:55:01.639 I reached out and I was like, okay, can we 934 00:55:01.760 --> 00:55:05.159 have some kind of a presence on the show all that, 935 00:55:05.960 --> 00:55:08.559 So Luca emails me back and he's like, yeah, we'll 936 00:55:08.559 --> 00:55:12.039 be in Moldova. I've got this window of like five 937 00:55:12.079 --> 00:55:17.880 to five thirty local time on Monday, and I'm like okay, 938 00:55:18.039 --> 00:55:20.079 And like I said, and that was what triggered making 939 00:55:20.119 --> 00:55:22.239 sure that Bart could be on and he could be 940 00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:24.679 on early. And then of course Luca hit all of 941 00:55:24.719 --> 00:55:26.559 his marks early and got all the green lights and 942 00:55:26.599 --> 00:55:29.639 came in at a quarter till. And so thanks to 943 00:55:29.719 --> 00:55:32.159 Bart for putting the rest of the segment on hold. 944 00:55:32.199 --> 00:55:35.960 But yeah, so that was Luca Pelacconi. He's the press 945 00:55:36.000 --> 00:55:39.440 officer for the San Marino national team for soccer, and 946 00:55:39.679 --> 00:55:48.519 he dialed in from a hotel room in Moldova. Oh brother, 947 00:55:48.760 --> 00:55:51.599 all right, So that was that was our number one. 948 00:55:52.639 --> 00:55:56.480 And that was hilarious. It was fantastic and hilarious all 949 00:55:56.480 --> 00:55:59.719 at the same time. We need to figure out a 950 00:55:59.719 --> 00:56:02.119 way to get San Marino's national team over here for 951 00:56:02.159 --> 00:56:06.039 a friendly. That's what we've got to figure out. So 952 00:56:07.280 --> 00:56:09.360 that's the latest out of San Marino. And like I said, 953 00:56:09.400 --> 00:56:12.719 I just wanted to see if we could find someone 954 00:56:12.840 --> 00:56:17.039 that could put a voice to what happened when you 955 00:56:17.119 --> 00:56:20.639 have a windless streak of twenty years and you have 956 00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:24.519 a win at home from someone who was nineteen years 957 00:56:24.599 --> 00:56:30.440 old and wasn't even alive when the streak started to 958 00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:34.400 get that interview, it's fantastic. But no, I give full 959 00:56:34.440 --> 00:56:38.480 props to Luca for that, and that was absolutely wild. 960 00:56:38.920 --> 00:56:40.719 But that's the beauty of the morning show that we 961 00:56:40.800 --> 00:56:42.840 have occasionally. And like I said that, I didn't know 962 00:56:42.880 --> 00:56:45.159 if it was gonna work, I didn't know if Luca 963 00:56:45.239 --> 00:56:47.360 was gonna make it in time. I had him scheduled 964 00:56:47.360 --> 00:56:49.559 for ten o'clock when they were getting into the hotel, 965 00:56:49.719 --> 00:56:51.599 but he got into the hotel early, and got into 966 00:56:51.599 --> 00:56:54.719 the hotel a half hour early and then punched all 967 00:56:54.760 --> 00:56:57.400 of his punched all his green lights and here we go. Okay, 968 00:56:57.480 --> 00:57:01.320 so here's segment number two with Bart uh Hi. 969 00:57:01.239 --> 00:57:05.920 Bart, morning again, Good morning Will, Good morning Scott, Good morning, 970 00:57:05.960 --> 00:57:08.039 Abbey oh Man. 971 00:57:09.159 --> 00:57:13.079 But no, like I said, uh, Luca PELACIONI was is 972 00:57:13.119 --> 00:57:15.960 the press officer for the San marineternational team, And like 973 00:57:15.960 --> 00:57:17.360 I said, I didn't know if it was going to work, 974 00:57:17.440 --> 00:57:22.239 and at worked, and so we just t it is. 975 00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:25.800 It is celebration time out in San Marino in the 976 00:57:25.840 --> 00:57:27.480 middle of Italy. 977 00:57:28.000 --> 00:57:32.440 It was fantastic. Okay, So, uh you were yelling about 978 00:57:32.880 --> 00:57:35.760 uh the second goal, I don't know if I was 979 00:57:35.880 --> 00:57:40.800 yelling was you're still communicating, Okay, then you were sternly 980 00:57:40.800 --> 00:57:45.280 communicating about the defensive lapses with the United States and 981 00:57:45.280 --> 00:57:49.480 they're lost to Canada. Yeah, I think the frustrating part 982 00:57:49.960 --> 00:57:53.719 and I forget who said it in the chat, but 983 00:57:53.840 --> 00:57:56.920 you know, Tim reim what you have been great for 984 00:57:57.000 --> 00:57:59.480 your club country. You've been a great club player for 985 00:57:59.519 --> 00:58:02.920 a long time. But I think this is this is 986 00:58:02.960 --> 00:58:05.239 where you do have to fault mikey Varies for being 987 00:58:05.280 --> 00:58:07.320 a little too afraid to shake things up. I mean, 988 00:58:07.360 --> 00:58:09.639 the mission to me should be we need to start 989 00:58:09.679 --> 00:58:13.199 turning the page right, and you kind of even had 990 00:58:13.559 --> 00:58:17.079 leeway to do that with the fact that Jedi was out, 991 00:58:17.320 --> 00:58:20.239 McKenny was out, Adams is out, you know, and most 992 00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:22.719 of those for you know, obviously Adams actually heard, but 993 00:58:22.760 --> 00:58:25.800 you know, we allowed the I kind of don't really 994 00:58:25.840 --> 00:58:26.519 want to fly over to. 995 00:58:26.519 --> 00:58:29.679 The States right now, excuse to be which it should be. 996 00:58:29.719 --> 00:58:32.519 I mean, I think we've talked about this particular window 997 00:58:32.559 --> 00:58:38.519 being superfluous at best and unnecessary probably in reality, and 998 00:58:38.599 --> 00:58:42.800 not very well placed on the calendar. FIFA's talking about, 999 00:58:42.960 --> 00:58:46.760 if not removing that, moving it back into the month 1000 00:58:46.800 --> 00:58:51.719 as well, because you're going to get players who are 1001 00:58:51.760 --> 00:58:55.440 a little not quite ready. 1002 00:58:55.480 --> 00:58:56.639 But yeah, I think that. 1003 00:58:58.599 --> 00:59:04.920 You need to start rewarding and punishing players for performances 1004 00:59:04.960 --> 00:59:05.440 on the field. 1005 00:59:05.480 --> 00:59:06.199 And I think this is. 1006 00:59:06.159 --> 00:59:15.400 Something that the Burholter coaching tree values so highly training 1007 00:59:15.480 --> 00:59:20.079 sessions and doing drills correctly and doing the instruction part correctly, 1008 00:59:21.000 --> 00:59:26.480 that they don't seem to value the actual on field 1009 00:59:26.639 --> 00:59:30.719 performance and production. And that's something that's been very frustrating, 1010 00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:33.840 is you know, and it's led to Burholter holding on 1011 00:59:33.920 --> 00:59:37.719 to players for way too long. It's led to you know, 1012 00:59:37.760 --> 00:59:41.719 players getting complacent in their roles on the team. And 1013 00:59:41.800 --> 00:59:44.280 Tim Reem is a perfect example of there's a reason 1014 00:59:44.280 --> 00:59:45.920 why he can't be in this camp. I mean, he's 1015 00:59:45.920 --> 00:59:48.480 a domestic center back, he's pretty experienced. 1016 00:59:48.760 --> 00:59:51.719 Why not? But why does he need to be the 1017 00:59:51.800 --> 00:59:54.039 locked in starter, right? 1018 00:59:54.400 --> 00:59:56.679 And if it's just because he does the drills better, well, yeah, 1019 00:59:56.719 --> 00:59:58.960 he's thirty, dad guns seven years old. He'd better be 1020 00:59:59.000 --> 01:00:00.760 doing the drill as well in his life, you know 1021 01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:05.039 what I'm saying. Yeah, So that's kind of where I 1022 01:00:05.039 --> 01:00:07.519 think the mentality needs to start shifting, and I do 1023 01:00:07.599 --> 01:00:10.679 blame mikey Varis for not seeing the opportunity to start 1024 01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:13.199 a guy like Trusty or McKenzie. 1025 01:00:12.760 --> 01:00:15.159 Who if they screw up, then we learned something. 1026 01:00:15.199 --> 01:00:18.360 And that's just where again, these friendlies need to be 1027 01:00:18.480 --> 01:00:23.639 learning exercises. We didn't learn anything from Tim Breen screwing 1028 01:00:23.719 --> 01:00:26.920 up a bunch other than he's probably not fit for 1029 01:00:26.960 --> 01:00:28.119 international play anymore. 1030 01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:29.440 But then you didn't. 1031 01:00:29.119 --> 01:00:32.760 Necessarily bring in someone to you know, sub him off 1032 01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:35.960 and say, okay, well here's your shot. Christopher Lund had 1033 01:00:36.000 --> 01:00:39.559 a average day. This was a perfect opportunity for Caleb 1034 01:00:39.559 --> 01:00:41.920 Wiley to get some playing time and say, hey, look 1035 01:00:42.719 --> 01:00:43.719 we're struggling right now. 1036 01:00:43.760 --> 01:00:45.360 Let's see if you can go make something happen. 1037 01:00:45.880 --> 01:00:50.400 You saw Aiden Morris take advantage of that opportunity, finally 1038 01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:53.039 looking good for the in the Red, White and Blue. 1039 01:00:53.039 --> 01:01:00.880 He's struggled on the international stage. Juxtaposing that to you know, 1040 01:01:00.960 --> 01:01:05.559 Johnny Cardoso being a very poor performance. 1041 01:01:06.679 --> 01:01:07.960 You know, those were good to see. 1042 01:01:08.519 --> 01:01:10.280 You know, we still haven't seen Josh Sargent play for 1043 01:01:10.280 --> 01:01:12.639 the US Actional team, I think since twenty twenty two, 1044 01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:17.880 which is continuing to be a concerning trend for him. Uh, 1045 01:01:18.400 --> 01:01:20.800 you know, Geo obviously got hurt this camp because you 1046 01:01:20.840 --> 01:01:23.119 know the law of Geo ranas he can't be healthy 1047 01:01:23.159 --> 01:01:26.039 for more than a week, and you know that was 1048 01:01:26.079 --> 01:01:31.519 a problem. And that's that was just you know, frustrating. 1049 01:01:31.639 --> 01:01:36.280 Is that it's one thing if you're bad, right because 1050 01:01:36.320 --> 01:01:39.599 you put out a bunch of new players, or because 1051 01:01:39.679 --> 01:01:42.039 you're trying something new, or because hey, you know what, guys, 1052 01:01:42.679 --> 01:01:44.559 the point of this friendly is for all of us 1053 01:01:44.559 --> 01:01:46.159 to go play together and get some new guys some 1054 01:01:46.280 --> 01:01:48.880 time on the field. If that was your stated goal, 1055 01:01:49.519 --> 01:01:52.639 because we know the Burrholter treat coaching Tree loves goals 1056 01:01:52.639 --> 01:01:54.519 and metrics that have nothing to do with actually winning, 1057 01:01:56.000 --> 01:02:00.719 then that's fine. But that wasn't what was presented here. 1058 01:02:00.760 --> 01:02:03.199 And you put out a you know, it wasn't like 1059 01:02:03.239 --> 01:02:06.119 you experimented much with your lineup, right, I mean everyone 1060 01:02:06.119 --> 01:02:07.920 who played was like, a, well, of course you're going 1061 01:02:08.000 --> 01:02:11.000 to play because for some reason, Brendan Aaronson is scene 1062 01:02:11.039 --> 01:02:12.800 as a better soccer player than how do you write? 1063 01:02:12.880 --> 01:02:13.920 Because he, I don't know. 1064 01:02:15.400 --> 01:02:18.159 Moves his feet quicker, even though he doesn't really do 1065 01:02:18.199 --> 01:02:18.760 anything with that. 1066 01:02:19.760 --> 01:02:22.920 You know, Joe scally is the obvious. Right back back 1067 01:02:23.000 --> 01:02:23.920 up to Sir Gino Desks. 1068 01:02:23.920 --> 01:02:25.480 I don't think it was bad, but you know, just 1069 01:02:25.559 --> 01:02:27.760 one of those things where it wasn't like you did 1070 01:02:27.800 --> 01:02:31.960 anything to go well, you know, look, I'm the substitute teacher, 1071 01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:37.000 so who cares. It almost felt like he took the Burholter. 1072 01:02:38.400 --> 01:02:41.360 You know, Greg Burholter left a little folder with the 1073 01:02:41.400 --> 01:02:44.320 instruction plant, the lesson plan for the day. For some reason, 1074 01:02:44.360 --> 01:02:51.559 the dude is fired. Who gives a crap? You do 1075 01:02:51.639 --> 01:02:52.239 something different? 1076 01:02:52.320 --> 01:02:52.800 And he did it. 1077 01:02:52.920 --> 01:02:55.159 He got too scared, and so I do blame Mikey 1078 01:02:55.199 --> 01:02:56.559 a lot for this, even though he was you know, 1079 01:02:56.599 --> 01:02:57.800 hot and said, oh, it's on the players. 1080 01:02:57.840 --> 01:02:59.519 Well it's also on you man. You have to set 1081 01:02:59.559 --> 01:03:00.199 that stand. 1082 01:03:00.199 --> 01:03:02.880 Because we've heard this from Berhalter as well and from 1083 01:03:02.880 --> 01:03:05.559 players as oh, well it's an intense training session. Well 1084 01:03:05.559 --> 01:03:08.159 then why doesn't that transfer to the playing to playing 1085 01:03:08.199 --> 01:03:10.039 in the game. You know, if you're if you're going 1086 01:03:10.079 --> 01:03:12.719 hard and intense in training, why aren't we Why is 1087 01:03:12.760 --> 01:03:15.079 that not translating the games? So I'm leading it's leading 1088 01:03:15.119 --> 01:03:17.800 me to believe that there's not really the intensity that 1089 01:03:17.840 --> 01:03:18.519 they think there. 1090 01:03:18.440 --> 01:03:21.159 Is in training and they're just saying it is. 1091 01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:27.000 Then you end up with the ratings, which you pretty 1092 01:03:27.039 --> 01:03:30.400 much have skewered here when it comes to everything. The 1093 01:03:30.400 --> 01:03:32.719 the oh, by the way goal in the most dangerous 1094 01:03:32.760 --> 01:03:36.199 leading in soccer came from Luca Delatore. Uh An Ldt 1095 01:03:36.320 --> 01:03:40.400 scored with about twenty five to go, and once again 1096 01:03:40.400 --> 01:03:44.559 you look at too little, too late. Mikey varus after 1097 01:03:44.599 --> 01:03:46.760 the match that I love those guys, but the mentality 1098 01:03:46.840 --> 01:03:49.960 to fight and run and to sacrifice, I can't do 1099 01:03:50.119 --> 01:03:52.880 that for them. That's on them. It's a combination between 1100 01:03:52.920 --> 01:03:55.519 me and them, all of us together. End quote from 1101 01:03:55.559 --> 01:03:57.519 our friends at a press. 1102 01:03:57.400 --> 01:03:59.719 And it wasn't there. I mean you just you look 1103 01:03:59.719 --> 01:04:01.480 at the the ratings and no one. 1104 01:04:01.360 --> 01:04:03.559 Did well except for Patrick Shulte, who I think does 1105 01:04:03.599 --> 01:04:05.800 need to get a shot out. I think people were 1106 01:04:05.880 --> 01:04:09.239 unfairly criticizing him for that first goal. Maybe you should 1107 01:04:09.239 --> 01:04:11.280 have done better, But Shlty was the only player who 1108 01:04:11.599 --> 01:04:14.000 in my opinion, played well this game. 1109 01:04:15.159 --> 01:04:17.039 Looking at our ratings of course, from our friends at 1110 01:04:17.039 --> 01:04:20.480 Soccer America, Shulty pulled a seven, Chris Richards a three, 1111 01:04:20.559 --> 01:04:23.599 Tim Reema two, Christopher lund to four along with Joe 1112 01:04:23.599 --> 01:04:28.280 Scally midfield units musa three, Malex Tilman of three, Johnny 1113 01:04:28.519 --> 01:04:32.360 two forwards, Brendan Aaronson a three full air and baligant 1114 01:04:32.360 --> 01:04:36.079 and Christian Polisic got four's subs Aden Morris of five, 1115 01:04:36.320 --> 01:04:39.000 l D t A six obviously with the goal, Hodgi 1116 01:04:39.079 --> 01:04:42.840 right at three, Kate cowl a four and Peppy and 1117 01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:45.679 incomplete obviously with the number of minutes that he that 1118 01:04:45.760 --> 01:04:49.239 he did not play in the mask gracious rating for 1119 01:04:49.360 --> 01:04:53.840 Caid Cowell and Next up US gets New Zealand at 1120 01:04:53.920 --> 01:04:59.079 t Q Well on Tuesday seven o'clock Eastern kick with 1121 01:04:59.760 --> 01:05:04.360 this this one when it comes to this particular matchup 1122 01:05:04.440 --> 01:05:09.679 against New Zealand, I mean, obviously you've got to be 1123 01:05:10.000 --> 01:05:12.039 you've got to do a make good in here somewhere 1124 01:05:12.079 --> 01:05:14.920 and be out for blood. Yeah, at least figuratively. 1125 01:05:16.519 --> 01:05:19.280 I don't know if that's the Greg Burholter mentality that's 1126 01:05:19.320 --> 01:05:21.559 being transferred through mikey Baris. 1127 01:05:22.400 --> 01:05:25.159 Okay, that's where we're at. 1128 01:05:25.239 --> 01:05:28.559 I mean, responses would be great, but we haven't seen 1129 01:05:28.599 --> 01:05:32.719 this team respond to adversity really. You know, sure, they 1130 01:05:32.840 --> 01:05:36.719 tied Brazil, a not very good Brazil team after getting 1131 01:05:36.719 --> 01:05:40.320 smacked by Columbia, but it's not like they magically flip 1132 01:05:40.360 --> 01:05:41.719 the switch and we're like, oh, this is how we 1133 01:05:41.719 --> 01:05:45.599 play soccer again. So you know, yeah, you have to 1134 01:05:45.639 --> 01:05:48.480 have a better response. New Zealand is a much worse 1135 01:05:48.519 --> 01:05:52.360 team than Canada, so anything short of a multi goal 1136 01:05:52.440 --> 01:05:56.360 win is going to reflect badly on everyone involved. I 1137 01:05:56.400 --> 01:05:58.360 don't care who the coaches and that's kind of what 1138 01:05:58.360 --> 01:06:00.320 bothers me about this Canada game is I don't who 1139 01:06:00.320 --> 01:06:03.280 the coach is. The lineup we had and the players 1140 01:06:03.280 --> 01:06:04.239 we have are better. 1141 01:06:04.039 --> 01:06:05.159 Than the Canadian players. 1142 01:06:05.239 --> 01:06:10.400 You know, yeah, David Laren and Davies are very good players, right, 1143 01:06:10.519 --> 01:06:13.159 but we have players who should be able to match 1144 01:06:13.239 --> 01:06:17.639 up with them, and we have better overall quality and 1145 01:06:17.760 --> 01:06:20.079 I did not show And so that's where the frustrating 1146 01:06:20.119 --> 01:06:22.360 part is. You know, who's going to start showing their 1147 01:06:22.360 --> 01:06:26.320 actually good quality because right now, not even Christian Polisic 1148 01:06:26.440 --> 01:06:32.000 is showing their good quality. And you know, again, you 1149 01:06:32.039 --> 01:06:33.519 can tell me that you need to do this and 1150 01:06:33.559 --> 01:06:35.280 that and that, but until you actually do it, it's 1151 01:06:35.320 --> 01:06:36.360 just empty words. 1152 01:06:36.599 --> 01:06:40.840 Okay, So we're heading to this match on Tuesday and 1153 01:06:41.360 --> 01:06:44.400 we'll see where it lays out there is there is 1154 01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:48.639 a previous soccer for US PO D episode that is out. 1155 01:06:49.239 --> 01:06:51.840 What are the next plans for a future soccer for you? 1156 01:06:52.039 --> 01:06:56.559 The goal is to record on Wednesday afternoon. I'm flying 1157 01:06:56.559 --> 01:07:02.559 to Pittsburgh for a certain football game this weekend backyard Brawl, 1158 01:07:03.159 --> 01:07:06.719 so we better get it recorded by Wednesday so I 1159 01:07:06.719 --> 01:07:08.440 can edit and send it. 1160 01:07:08.400 --> 01:07:11.639 Out to you. So that is the plan. 1161 01:07:11.719 --> 01:07:16.559 Hopefully we're talking about Pochettino more in this episode and 1162 01:07:16.760 --> 01:07:18.960 not as much about the actual play on the field, 1163 01:07:19.000 --> 01:07:21.159 because at that point it won't matter, right if you 1164 01:07:21.239 --> 01:07:25.719 hire Pochattino and you announce them before Tuesday or even 1165 01:07:25.800 --> 01:07:30.719 on Tuesday, the performances don't really matter all that much 1166 01:07:30.719 --> 01:07:33.880 because you can start talking about a new coach and 1167 01:07:33.920 --> 01:07:37.159 not why this team can't seem to play better than 1168 01:07:37.239 --> 01:07:40.800 the some of its parts after six years, seven years 1169 01:07:40.800 --> 01:07:41.760 of trying to do that. 1170 01:07:42.480 --> 01:07:46.199 All right, So I'm before you go, I am looking 1171 01:07:46.360 --> 01:07:50.599 at the schedule and I am checking the get in 1172 01:07:50.840 --> 01:07:54.400 price as a subtle plug to our college football show 1173 01:07:54.400 --> 01:07:56.559 that we have over on the OSG Sports side of things, 1174 01:07:57.400 --> 01:08:00.719 where we look at football on a budget. And by 1175 01:08:00.760 --> 01:08:04.039 the way, this is not football on a budget. If 1176 01:08:04.039 --> 01:08:06.639 you are looking to go into this particular game at 1177 01:08:06.639 --> 01:08:09.079 actressher In Pittsburgh right now, West Virginia two and a 1178 01:08:09.119 --> 01:08:12.480 half point favorite. The total sixty and a half three 1179 01:08:12.480 --> 01:08:16.119 point thirty kick on ESPN two. Get in price at 1180 01:08:16.159 --> 01:08:19.399 the former Heinz Field is a low, low get in 1181 01:08:19.479 --> 01:08:21.159 price of seventy two dollars. 1182 01:08:21.279 --> 01:08:22.159 Yeah. 1183 01:08:22.199 --> 01:08:24.439 Well, that's what happens when you know a team that 1184 01:08:24.439 --> 01:08:28.840 actually cares about football college football plays an actresser, You're 1185 01:08:28.880 --> 01:08:32.960 going to actually have taket prices that are at you know, 1186 01:08:33.119 --> 01:08:37.199 market value. Oh boy, I mean, look, that stadium is 1187 01:08:37.199 --> 01:08:40.479 going to be full packed capacity. Last time we played there, 1188 01:08:40.520 --> 01:08:42.399 it was the largest crowd for a football game ever 1189 01:08:42.479 --> 01:08:45.600 in this in Pittsburgh. It wasn't because of the pitt fans. 1190 01:08:45.640 --> 01:08:46.680 I'll just tell you that right now. 1191 01:08:49.840 --> 01:08:51.920 So we will be looking forward to the next go 1192 01:08:52.079 --> 01:08:54.920 round of the soccer for USPOD, hopefully coming up before 1193 01:08:54.920 --> 01:08:57.279 your departure. Otherwise you're cutting it into the Pittsburgh airport 1194 01:08:57.960 --> 01:08:59.279 and we'll see what happens. 1195 01:08:59.439 --> 01:09:01.319 I'm not bringing a laptop with me on this trip. 1196 01:09:01.399 --> 01:09:08.239 So oh okay, so we are cutting ties. Yeah wow, okay, 1197 01:09:08.319 --> 01:09:11.359 So three thirty kicks Saturday afternoon. Once again, thanks for 1198 01:09:11.439 --> 01:09:15.319 dropping by in Part one and part two. Considering our 1199 01:09:15.359 --> 01:09:19.000 guests from from the Central Europe that came out of this. 1200 01:09:19.079 --> 01:09:21.840 Yeah, well thanks John for having me. 1201 01:09:22.000 --> 01:09:24.720 Everyone stay safe, stay healthy. 1202 01:09:24.640 --> 01:09:27.560 Yes, stay stay stay healthy, and continue drinking the Earl Gray, 1203 01:09:27.600 --> 01:09:29.800 my friend. And so there goes Bart. Bart's gonna go. 1204 01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:34.600 I think Bart is gonna end up probably drinking a 1205 01:09:34.600 --> 01:09:37.840 lot of tea. So all right, so let me go 1206 01:09:37.960 --> 01:09:42.079 through the comments this morning. We got two major topics 1207 01:09:42.119 --> 01:09:44.000 before we get out of here this morning, and they 1208 01:09:44.079 --> 01:09:46.880 probably will take up the balance of the time. One 1209 01:09:47.479 --> 01:09:51.560 well three, since the two's played this weekend, we'll get 1210 01:09:51.560 --> 01:09:54.920 into the twos a little bit. With the teams in 1211 01:09:54.960 --> 01:09:57.640 Major League Soccer that did play this weekend, we have 1212 01:09:57.760 --> 01:10:00.680 a major point that was made in and a rant 1213 01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:04.439 by a coach and it was a we have a 1214 01:10:04.560 --> 01:10:07.920 courtesy of our friends at Massive Report and Wilford Nazi 1215 01:10:07.960 --> 01:10:10.640 went off and so it is a larger point once 1216 01:10:10.680 --> 01:10:13.760 again that we have emphasized on the show and we 1217 01:10:13.800 --> 01:10:19.079 will discuss with what happened in his match. And basically 1218 01:10:20.000 --> 01:10:25.399 it was one question and the press officer for the 1219 01:10:25.439 --> 01:10:29.760 Columbus Crew basically said to Wilfrid Nanci when he came 1220 01:10:29.800 --> 01:10:32.720 in the door opening statement. Nanci was like, nah, give 1221 01:10:32.760 --> 01:10:34.560 me questions, We'll go ahead and take questions. And so 1222 01:10:34.680 --> 01:10:38.840 literally he takes the lead in question, goes on this 1223 01:10:39.000 --> 01:10:40.960 rant for the Ages, and it is a rant for 1224 01:10:41.000 --> 01:10:42.640 the Ages, and we're gonna play the whole thing. Like 1225 01:10:42.680 --> 01:10:46.439 I said, I don't normally play something that's that is 1226 01:10:46.560 --> 01:10:49.680 as long as Caleb Porter, but I thought it was 1227 01:10:49.720 --> 01:10:52.800 important in the grand scheme of things to understand where 1228 01:10:52.800 --> 01:10:56.880 he's coming from. I traditionally don't play something that will 1229 01:10:56.920 --> 01:11:00.439 be as long as the Wilford Nanci rant from the weekend, 1230 01:11:00.800 --> 01:11:04.119 but it is just as important. I probably will do 1231 01:11:04.159 --> 01:11:07.880 play by play underneath it as he's going, or reactions 1232 01:11:08.000 --> 01:11:12.279 underneath it as he's going. So we have the Wilford 1233 01:11:12.359 --> 01:11:16.159 Nanci concern that we have had here on the show 1234 01:11:17.079 --> 01:11:20.720 in the past, and we will we'll carry that through 1235 01:11:20.920 --> 01:11:25.079 and we will let you hear about that. And then 1236 01:11:25.359 --> 01:11:28.760 the news on Chelsea, and I'm sure that Michael heads 1237 01:11:29.199 --> 01:11:33.880 ears a burning because there's news there where the partners 1238 01:11:33.880 --> 01:11:36.640 are angry at each other. Bully is angry at clear Lake, 1239 01:11:36.720 --> 01:11:40.680 clear Lake's angry at Bowley. And we'll see how it 1240 01:11:40.760 --> 01:11:43.800 all plays itself out, but we'll get you the play 1241 01:11:43.800 --> 01:11:46.880 by play on Bowy clear Lake not happy with each 1242 01:11:46.880 --> 01:11:51.199 other as the owners of Chelsea. And we'll lay all 1243 01:11:51.239 --> 01:11:54.000 that out for you, and if there's anything that we've missed, 1244 01:11:54.079 --> 01:11:56.479 lay it out in the twitch pitch. Here's the week, 1245 01:11:56.560 --> 01:12:02.319 by the way. After that, Tuesday, once again, we'll go 1246 01:12:02.359 --> 01:12:07.239 over everything else that we missed today. Then Wednesday, since 1247 01:12:07.319 --> 01:12:09.640 Tyler is back from the boat that he was on 1248 01:12:09.760 --> 01:12:12.920 with his family and like he tried apparently to get 1249 01:12:12.960 --> 01:12:16.039 a cell signal once didn't work, so he kept his 1250 01:12:16.119 --> 01:12:18.399 cell phone off. God helped the man with all the 1251 01:12:18.399 --> 01:12:21.119 messages he got when he came back. Tyler's at nine 1252 01:12:21.159 --> 01:12:23.399 to fifteen Wednesday, see if we can catch up with 1253 01:12:23.439 --> 01:12:25.920 the busiest man in the Northeast, Dyllan Butler. Ten maryon 1254 01:12:26.000 --> 01:12:29.960 Crowder hopping in to talk USL Super League, Jessica Charman, 1255 01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:33.319 by the way, calling it matches on Peacock this weekend. 1256 01:12:33.800 --> 01:12:38.760 She had the Spokane Brooklyn match on Peacock this weekend. 1257 01:12:38.840 --> 01:12:42.399 We need to catch up with jess about college, about 1258 01:12:42.640 --> 01:12:46.319 USL Super League, and about Charlotte. So whenever jess can breathe, 1259 01:12:46.319 --> 01:12:48.760 we'll try to have her on the show. Maryon Crowder, 1260 01:12:48.840 --> 01:12:53.920 like I said, ten thirty on Wednesday, Thursday. Our number 1261 01:12:53.920 --> 01:12:56.159 one's wide open right now. It's the Power Hour with 1262 01:12:56.199 --> 01:12:59.039 Nino and Nico. And remember in Nino's coming with news. 1263 01:12:59.520 --> 01:13:04.079 Apparently he's gonna break some news on Thursday, and we'll 1264 01:13:04.079 --> 01:13:06.439 see if we can have Nino and Nico discussed Rolleruy 1265 01:13:06.520 --> 01:13:09.439 Diaz and what happened with the two with him, with 1266 01:13:09.479 --> 01:13:11.279 the announcement that happened to the story that happened on 1267 01:13:11.319 --> 01:13:13.800 Sound or at Heart that we talked about late last week. 1268 01:13:14.840 --> 01:13:17.119 And then Friday, getting you ready for all of the 1269 01:13:17.159 --> 01:13:19.720 action on the weekend, Nashville coming town, see if we 1270 01:13:19.720 --> 01:13:22.039 can get Lucas Panzeka have got lead off and talk 1271 01:13:22.079 --> 01:13:26.039 about Nashville and see what's going on with him and 1272 01:13:26.199 --> 01:13:28.439 Nashville in general, and see if we can grab Jason. 1273 01:13:28.439 --> 01:13:30.479 We can whip around all that stuff on the in between. 1274 01:13:30.520 --> 01:13:33.920 So that's the week that we've got here on SDH 1275 01:13:34.119 --> 01:13:39.159 and being here in the office all right, So let's 1276 01:13:39.199 --> 01:13:42.000 get into the comments and everybody who's hopping and joining us. 1277 01:13:42.039 --> 01:13:44.479 It looked like Tom Russo was at OBX this past 1278 01:13:44.520 --> 01:13:46.800 week and so he got the chance to be on 1279 01:13:46.880 --> 01:13:50.560 vacation and stay away from all of us. Morning Abbey, 1280 01:13:50.560 --> 01:13:57.520 Morning Will and Abby saw Alex Morgan's goodbye speech and 1281 01:13:57.600 --> 01:14:01.760 apparently the four letter is annoying. Will and Abby liked 1282 01:14:01.800 --> 01:14:04.000 the taking off of the cleats as a part of 1283 01:14:04.960 --> 01:14:09.439 I'm done ownership infighting. What is yeah? What is this 1284 01:14:09.520 --> 01:14:14.640 Atlanta's spirit? But at least at least Will Bowy clearly 1285 01:14:14.760 --> 01:14:16.479 can be in the same city and they can yell 1286 01:14:16.520 --> 01:14:18.880 at each other across the table instead of being in 1287 01:14:18.960 --> 01:14:22.000 three separate cities and trying to figure out who's in charge. 1288 01:14:22.560 --> 01:14:29.880 Do not get me started about Atlanta Spirit. Do not. Uh, 1289 01:14:31.760 --> 01:14:34.520 let's see, so Will says, I thought I got booted 1290 01:14:34.600 --> 01:14:37.399 for criticizing fanatics quality in a very PG way and 1291 01:14:37.439 --> 01:14:41.960 I got a six hour ban. Yikes. Abby has not 1292 01:14:42.039 --> 01:14:46.640 been posting Morning Alex morning. Will Yes, health very pricardive 1293 01:14:46.640 --> 01:14:50.560 you Bart Yes with the Earl Gray tea. Yeah, and 1294 01:14:50.640 --> 01:14:55.960 so Will. You mentioned the rant from calib Porter about 1295 01:14:56.000 --> 01:14:58.439 Timothy Ford. Like I said, Timothy Ford and got a 1296 01:14:58.439 --> 01:15:00.439 whole lot of friends when it comes to to this 1297 01:15:00.560 --> 01:15:03.800 side of the aisle or the team side of the isle, 1298 01:15:04.640 --> 01:15:09.039 because everybody remembers Timothy Ford with Atlanta United. Timothy Ford's 1299 01:15:09.039 --> 01:15:11.680 got issues apparently with New England on more than one occasion. 1300 01:15:12.319 --> 01:15:17.239 So it will be interesting to see what, in fact 1301 01:15:17.560 --> 01:15:25.640 the consequences are. Keep an eye on the weekend and 1302 01:15:25.760 --> 01:15:30.479 see if Timothy Ford and maybe maybe the weekend, maybe 1303 01:15:30.520 --> 01:15:35.319 the midweek after because of assignments and travel and all 1304 01:15:35.319 --> 01:15:38.439 this kind of stuff. Maybe it's If it's not this weekend, 1305 01:15:38.560 --> 01:15:41.560 check the midweek and check next week and see if 1306 01:15:41.560 --> 01:15:46.600 there's any internal consequence with Timothy Ford after this outburst, 1307 01:15:47.000 --> 01:15:51.079 this tirade from Caleb Porter. So we'll see, Uh Morning 1308 01:15:51.159 --> 01:15:54.920 Scott Scott flood hopping in an hour number one saying 1309 01:15:54.960 --> 01:15:58.880 hi to everybody, and uh Will says, pro is the 1310 01:15:58.920 --> 01:16:01.760 combo Carolina pans there's with Daniel Jones as a QB. 1311 01:16:03.319 --> 01:16:07.159 Apparently the trivia question came out yesterday that Bryce Young 1312 01:16:07.199 --> 01:16:10.279 improved from half to half, and this was the joke 1313 01:16:10.319 --> 01:16:16.399 that was circulating that Bryce Young threw an interception on 1314 01:16:16.479 --> 01:16:20.000 his first pass in the first half yesterday he waited 1315 01:16:20.039 --> 01:16:22.000 till his second pass to do that in the second half, 1316 01:16:22.880 --> 01:16:26.760 so there was some level of improvement. Apparently morning Nick's 1317 01:16:29.039 --> 01:16:31.199 Jason little late to the party, but glad he's here. 1318 01:16:31.640 --> 01:16:33.920 Abby would wants to know how much he's gonna get fined. 1319 01:16:34.000 --> 01:16:37.600 I don't know if You're gonna get a number out 1320 01:16:37.640 --> 01:16:42.840 of this, find an undisclosed amount and will serve a 1321 01:16:42.840 --> 01:16:48.000 suspension of X number of matches. That's what I think, 1322 01:16:48.439 --> 01:16:52.560 And it will end up being a news dump probably Thursday, 1323 01:16:54.239 --> 01:16:58.760 Thursday late maybe, so we'll see what happens there. Nick 1324 01:16:58.840 --> 01:17:00.760 says with the US legit the worst US M and 1325 01:17:00.760 --> 01:17:04.319 T performance in a long time, especially to Jesse Marsh 1326 01:17:04.880 --> 01:17:07.600 and as Punch probably, you know, I don't think he's 1327 01:17:07.640 --> 01:17:10.640 rethinking his decision. I think that he sees it as 1328 01:17:10.680 --> 01:17:12.399 a challenge. He's going to bring in his guys. He's 1329 01:17:12.399 --> 01:17:16.239 going to bring in his staff and we'll see what happens. Uh. 1330 01:17:16.279 --> 01:17:18.119 So that will be intriguing when it comes to the 1331 01:17:18.199 --> 01:17:20.840 men's national team. Yes, time you missed all the Boca 1332 01:17:20.880 --> 01:17:24.840 tak last week. Abby, no freaking passing, the passing suck. 1333 01:17:26.039 --> 01:17:29.760 Canada deserved the win, the US had no hutzbook. US 1334 01:17:29.800 --> 01:17:33.600 players didn't want it. Nick says Canada could have should 1335 01:17:33.600 --> 01:17:36.039 have scored at least for Shelter had a few massive saves, 1336 01:17:36.079 --> 01:17:38.760 and Nix brought up the question about Tim Reen being 1337 01:17:38.800 --> 01:17:43.560 in camp and another disappointing crowd for US soccer match 1338 01:17:43.600 --> 01:17:45.920 of fairly small venue US Soccer fails again to promote 1339 01:17:45.920 --> 01:17:48.800 the game and actually fill the stadium. Now did you 1340 01:17:48.960 --> 01:17:55.119 see did you see? Did you see the friendly or 1341 01:17:55.840 --> 01:18:01.960 the friendly that El Tree had? Way, it was at 1342 01:18:02.000 --> 01:18:06.399 the Rose Bowl and they had like twelve people there. 1343 01:18:07.439 --> 01:18:13.239 I'm not kidding. I mean it was. That was pretty bad, 1344 01:18:14.840 --> 01:18:17.520 and I think I went too far. I don't want 1345 01:18:17.560 --> 01:18:23.439 to choose a league. I just stop. I think pop 1346 01:18:23.560 --> 01:18:29.239 up windows, pop up windows from freaking people alleging to 1347 01:18:29.279 --> 01:18:33.000 be Exfinity while I'm trying to search for things. Wow, 1348 01:18:33.119 --> 01:18:41.960 is that annoying? Let's see Conker Calf Nations League. I 1349 01:18:42.000 --> 01:18:45.600 wants to go international friendly, so let's do that, all right? 1350 01:18:45.720 --> 01:18:49.159 So no, September tenth. I don't want that. So let's 1351 01:18:49.439 --> 01:18:54.920 back up. Well, and I have Nazi's rant, so it'll 1352 01:18:54.960 --> 01:18:59.560 be there, all right. So yes, pop up windows pop 1353 01:18:59.600 --> 01:19:03.119 up because that's what they do, absolutely all right. So 1354 01:19:03.640 --> 01:19:07.720 I think it was this international friendly with New Zealand. 1355 01:19:07.920 --> 01:19:11.840 If I could find the date, yes, okay, So it 1356 01:19:11.960 --> 01:19:15.560 was a nine o'clock start Eastern time at the Rose 1357 01:19:15.600 --> 01:19:22.199 Bowl on September seventh, so today, so Saturday night, Saturday night, 1358 01:19:22.319 --> 01:19:25.000 New Zealand was in country, meaning the United States to 1359 01:19:25.039 --> 01:19:29.279 take on Ltree at the Rose Bowl announced crowd twenty 1360 01:19:29.319 --> 01:19:32.840 five to seventy one. And I feel sorry for Ltree 1361 01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:35.039 in New Zealand because Joseph Dickerson was the man in 1362 01:19:35.039 --> 01:19:38.319 the middle. Three zero win for l three allegedly in 1363 01:19:38.359 --> 01:19:40.159 front of twenty five two seventy one. I want to 1364 01:19:40.199 --> 01:19:44.199 say that was tickets sold instead of butts in seats, 1365 01:19:44.239 --> 01:19:46.399 but that was There were pictures out of that one 1366 01:19:47.680 --> 01:19:55.880 that not a lot of folks un Morning four card. 1367 01:19:56.399 --> 01:19:58.319 If the only if the M and T had other 1368 01:19:58.359 --> 01:20:01.560 options for a right backer, they can play good crosses 1369 01:20:02.039 --> 01:20:07.000 hm hm, exactly, Abby thoroughly bummed. If Caleb doesn't get 1370 01:20:07.000 --> 01:20:10.319 any playing time. Potch has to be a motivator of 1371 01:20:10.359 --> 01:20:12.680 some sort as a coach or somebody has to be 1372 01:20:12.760 --> 01:20:14.520 a motivator of some sort as a coach or an 1373 01:20:14.520 --> 01:20:16.520 interim coach. Absolutely, if you're mikey Verius, you've got to 1374 01:20:16.520 --> 01:20:20.760 motivate your Poachatino, you got to motivate Morning Harry. So yes, Alex, 1375 01:20:20.840 --> 01:20:23.720 we will be playing Wilford Nanci's rant in its entirety. 1376 01:20:24.720 --> 01:20:26.960 We have it. It will be played in its entirety. 1377 01:20:27.039 --> 01:20:30.880 It is worth it because, as I said, it addresses 1378 01:20:31.159 --> 01:20:35.680 issues we have talked about here on the network a lot, 1379 01:20:37.119 --> 01:20:40.000 and we'll get into it. So let's go ahead and 1380 01:20:40.039 --> 01:20:42.720 start the discussion of Major League Soccer. We'll start with 1381 01:20:42.760 --> 01:20:50.319 Next Pro Two's had a big win, big, big, big, 1382 01:20:51.439 --> 01:20:55.760 big win on the weekend, going to New York City 1383 01:20:56.039 --> 01:20:59.840 the Icon Stadium on Randall's Island, first match ever renovated facility. 1384 01:21:00.720 --> 01:21:03.760 They get the win in PKS.

Atlanta United two gets 1389 01:21:21.920 --> 01:21:27.279 the extra point. So if you missed it, then you 1390 01:21:27.319 --> 01:21:29.399 can go catch the whole thing on the twos review 1391 01:21:29.439 --> 01:21:32.920 on the network. It exists twos review on the network. 1392 01:21:34.319 --> 01:21:37.319 You can go back. You've got highlights and we lay 1393 01:21:37.359 --> 01:21:40.479 out where things are in the Eastern Conference right now 1394 01:21:40.720 --> 01:21:44.960 in MLS Next Pro Atlanta United obviously they've got some 1395 01:21:45.039 --> 01:21:48.760 work to do. Huntsville Cities coming to town on Sunday afternoon, 1396 01:21:50.079 --> 01:21:54.520 and it will be a chance for Atlanta United two 1397 01:21:54.600 --> 01:21:58.479 to continue to climb up the ladder in MLS Next 1398 01:21:58.520 --> 01:22:02.880 Pro and chase after the eighth spot in the standings 1399 01:22:03.239 --> 01:22:07.319 Conference standings. Just so, just so you know, four matches 1400 01:22:07.359 --> 01:22:09.960 to go four at Land United to in the regular 1401 01:22:10.000 --> 01:22:14.239 season f C Cincinnati right now f C Cincinnati two 1402 01:22:14.520 --> 01:22:17.680 forty five points, Union two at forty three, Columbus Crew 1403 01:22:17.720 --> 01:22:20.720 to at forty two.

They're both at forty Miami with 1406 01:22:27.399 --> 01:22:29.880 their win over Huntsville City Football Club, they're now at 1407 01:22:29.960 --> 01:22:34.000 thirty nine. Doesn't change the eight seed point total, just 1408 01:22:34.119 --> 01:22:37.680 changes who it is. Chicago Fire two right now thirty 1409 01:22:37.680 --> 01:22:40.159 eight points, four matches to go at Land United two 1410 01:22:40.319 --> 01:22:44.520 seven points back with four matches to go, Chattanooga FC 1411 01:22:45.520 --> 01:22:49.000 behind by one goal and goal difference. They've also played 1412 01:22:49.000 --> 01:22:51.319 one more match. Chttanoogev C has three matches to go 1413 01:22:51.399 --> 01:22:54.760 regular season and if you have the chance to go 1414 01:22:54.840 --> 01:22:57.119 back and listen to chattanoogev C can catch our buddy 1415 01:22:57.119 --> 01:22:59.880 Gabe Shry who calls the matches up there. At Finn 1416 01:23:00.880 --> 01:23:05.000 Carolina Corp. Five hundred on the road this season at 1417 01:23:05.039 --> 01:23:07.239 five and five. After their rough start, they've really come 1418 01:23:07.279 --> 01:23:10.800 around under Roy Lassiter. The nine seed right now, but 1419 01:23:10.840 --> 01:23:13.720 they have two matches in hand on Chattanooga one on 1420 01:23:13.840 --> 01:23:17.359 Chicago Fire two. So they're at thirty four. Red Bulls 1421 01:23:17.479 --> 01:23:22.439 thirty three points. They are under five hundred at home, 1422 01:23:22.479 --> 01:23:25.399 I mean at home, they're what are they at home? 1423 01:23:25.399 --> 01:23:28.239 They're five six and one. No, No, they're away five 1424 01:23:28.319 --> 01:23:30.680 six and one away from home. Wow, three five and 1425 01:23:30.720 --> 01:23:34.680 four away from Montclair. So Red Bulls two right now 1426 01:23:34.720 --> 01:23:37.520 at eleventh at thirty three points. Atlanta's at thirty one 1427 01:23:38.439 --> 01:23:41.399 through twenty four matches. The only thing keeping a Toronto 1428 01:23:41.520 --> 01:23:44.039 FC two in the playoff picture is that they have 1429 01:23:44.039 --> 01:23:48.279 a match in hand with folks underneath them right now 1430 01:23:48.640 --> 01:23:51.520 nine points out of a playoff spot, match in hand 1431 01:23:51.960 --> 01:23:54.279 and they've got five to go. Huntsville City and New 1432 01:23:54.279 --> 01:23:56.960 England have been eliminated from the postseason. Huntsville City at 1433 01:23:56.960 --> 01:24:00.119 twenty three points, New England Revolution two at twenty to 1434 01:24:00.319 --> 01:24:03.439 oh eleven and one away from home. So that's Eastern 1435 01:24:03.520 --> 01:24:08.880 Conference in Major League Soccer. On the weekend, it was 1436 01:24:08.960 --> 01:24:13.399 a handful of teams that were like and remember in 1437 01:24:13.479 --> 01:24:19.680 Major League soccer, you have the option to play through 1438 01:24:19.720 --> 01:24:23.960 international windows. Some teams needed to catch up on matches 1439 01:24:25.760 --> 01:24:30.079 and they did that, and some teams got in trouble 1440 01:24:31.399 --> 01:24:36.640 during those matches. So going back to last weekend and 1441 01:24:36.720 --> 01:24:40.800 the handful of matches that were there, we'll start with 1442 01:24:40.800 --> 01:24:44.279 the late and we'll work our way forward. Vancouver, Dallas, 1443 01:24:44.319 --> 01:24:47.560 Goli Straw, Houston LAFC Goli Straw LAC did not have 1444 01:24:47.760 --> 01:24:49.960 Kiki a Lavera, did not have Danny Bwanga, did not 1445 01:24:50.039 --> 01:24:54.800 have Matu's Bogush, so shut out for Steve Clark and 1446 01:24:54.880 --> 01:25:01.640 the Dynamo. DC beat Chicago at Seat Geek. Red Bullerena 1447 01:25:01.680 --> 01:25:04.479 won to one draw Red Bulls in Sporting Kansas City. 1448 01:25:05.600 --> 01:25:07.680 We talked about the two two draw with the Revs 1449 01:25:07.720 --> 01:25:11.600 and Saint Louis. The other match was the first one 1450 01:25:11.600 --> 01:25:21.520 on the board, Seattle and Columbus. So context Seattle beat 1451 01:25:21.560 --> 01:25:26.079 the breaks off of Columbus four nill, but it was 1452 01:25:26.319 --> 01:25:33.079 even until a moment late in the first half that 1453 01:25:33.239 --> 01:25:36.279 involves part of the plot line that we have here 1454 01:25:36.479 --> 01:25:42.000 that's attached to the rant for Wilford Nazi. Because Patrick 1455 01:25:42.079 --> 01:25:47.399 Schulte was away on national team duty, they called up 1456 01:25:47.640 --> 01:25:52.039 Abraham Romero to be their keeper. Evan Bush was injured, 1457 01:25:53.600 --> 01:25:58.000 so Abraham Romero was the Cruise keeper. And because of 1458 01:25:58.119 --> 01:26:01.159 all of the call ups that they've already made this season, 1459 01:26:02.359 --> 01:26:06.960 they could not call up another individual, so Abraham Romero 1460 01:26:08.039 --> 01:26:13.359 was the keeper. That's it. Abraham Romero, bang, that's it. 1461 01:26:15.199 --> 01:26:22.039 The bench for Columbus on Saturday night did not have 1462 01:26:22.159 --> 01:26:28.680 a second keeper. You had three players that were called 1463 01:26:28.760 --> 01:26:33.279 up from Crew two. Oh impressed this, Tahaha Brun and 1464 01:26:33.359 --> 01:26:40.520 Gibron Ryoh. Then you also had Derek Jones, Ya Yaboa, 1465 01:26:41.720 --> 01:26:45.720 Dwan Jones and c Ram so you had a seven 1466 01:26:45.800 --> 01:26:49.840 player bench. You did not have a backup keeper because 1467 01:26:49.880 --> 01:26:51.920 of all of the call ups that you have already 1468 01:26:51.960 --> 01:26:58.680 made this year. So Abraham Romero goes outside the eighteen 1469 01:26:58.760 --> 01:27:03.600 for a challenge, plows into the Seattle player at forty 1470 01:27:03.640 --> 01:27:08.399 five plus three gets a red card. So once again, 1471 01:27:09.479 --> 01:27:12.399 no backup keeper for Wilford Nanci because of all of 1472 01:27:12.399 --> 01:27:14.600 the previous call ups that he's made this year, and 1473 01:27:14.640 --> 01:27:17.840 that included the match that was going on against Seattle. 1474 01:27:20.039 --> 01:27:25.319 Two keeper injured Shelty Away on international team duty, so 1475 01:27:25.359 --> 01:27:27.720 that men Abraham Romero got the call up. No backup, 1476 01:27:28.920 --> 01:27:36.039 Romero gets a red card. Shan Zowatsky defender had to 1477 01:27:36.199 --> 01:27:43.039 wear a keeper jersey for basically the remainder of the 1478 01:27:43.079 --> 01:27:47.399 first half and all the second half, like fifty minutes 1479 01:27:47.520 --> 01:27:51.319 or so of action where shan Zawadski has to wear 1480 01:27:51.960 --> 01:27:57.800 a keeper jersey gets beaten on the set piece off 1481 01:27:57.880 --> 01:28:03.279 of the red card as Albert Rusnach was on his 1482 01:28:03.319 --> 01:28:06.039 way to a hat trick, one nail at the break. 1483 01:28:07.239 --> 01:28:11.520 Jordan Morris scores in the sixtieth Rousknock scores. Basically, a 1484 01:28:11.640 --> 01:28:16.640 brace within three minutes gets a hat trick. Seattle goes 1485 01:28:16.680 --> 01:28:20.199 on to win at four nil. So that was a 1486 01:28:20.239 --> 01:28:24.640 game the crew had to make up because they were 1487 01:28:24.720 --> 01:28:31.000 kind of busy right now. In the Eastern Conference, Messi 1488 01:28:31.039 --> 01:28:32.960 and friends have an eight point lead with twenty seven 1489 01:28:32.960 --> 01:28:39.520 matches played. Cincinnati's eight back. Columbus still has a match 1490 01:28:39.560 --> 01:28:42.159 in hand on Cincinnati. There are two points behind them 1491 01:28:42.239 --> 01:28:48.119 right now in third at forty nine points. So it's one, 1492 01:28:48.239 --> 01:28:52.800 then it's two and three, then it's red bulls, and 1493 01:28:52.840 --> 01:28:58.439 then the fight starts five through the remainder. NYC at 1494 01:28:58.439 --> 01:29:03.720 thirty nine, Charlotte at thirty eight, eight, Orlando at thirty seven, four, five, six, 1495 01:29:03.760 --> 01:29:07.520 and seven are a group technically then because of all 1496 01:29:07.560 --> 01:29:10.479 the action, Toronto's at thirty three, DC's at thirty two, 1497 01:29:10.640 --> 01:29:13.439 that's your playoff bar, Atlanta's at thirty one, Philadelphia is 1498 01:29:13.479 --> 01:29:20.199 at thirty four. Teams separated by three points eight through eleven. 1499 01:29:21.600 --> 01:29:25.319 New England Montreal both at twenty seven points. New England 1500 01:29:25.399 --> 01:29:29.880 ahead the goal difference of a minus twenty one Montreal's 1501 01:29:29.920 --> 01:29:34.399 and minus twenty three Chicago and Nashville. Chicago at twenty 1502 01:29:34.439 --> 01:29:37.840 eight matches as twenty six points, and they're ahead on 1503 01:29:37.920 --> 01:29:42.760 goal difference by two. So twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, four 1504 01:29:42.800 --> 01:29:48.760 teams separated by one point. After the match, Columbus loses 1505 01:29:48.880 --> 01:29:58.560 four nil. Keeper gets a red. Shawan Zawatski has to 1506 01:29:58.640 --> 01:30:01.279 play the remainder of the MA match as your keeper 1507 01:30:01.359 --> 01:30:04.119 because you don't have a backup keeper because of all 1508 01:30:04.119 --> 01:30:07.079 of the call ups that you've made this season, all 1509 01:30:07.079 --> 01:30:09.640 those emergency callups that we always see, like so and 1510 01:30:09.680 --> 01:30:13.880 so called up from the twos, all of the emergency 1511 01:30:13.880 --> 01:30:18.439 call ups that were made, none of them could be 1512 01:30:18.479 --> 01:30:23.680 an emergency keeper. And so your keeper gets a red 1513 01:30:24.079 --> 01:30:26.600 that you called up that you had as your third 1514 01:30:26.800 --> 01:30:31.159 but you had no backup. So after the match, and 1515 01:30:31.199 --> 01:30:36.640 once again this is courtesy of of our friends in Columbus. 1516 01:30:38.520 --> 01:30:41.239 This was what Wilfrid Nanci said, and like I said, 1517 01:30:41.279 --> 01:30:45.800 it's a long thing, but it's worth it. This is 1518 01:30:45.800 --> 01:30:52.960 what Wilford Nanci said after the match when he really 1519 01:30:53.000 --> 01:30:57.359 wasn't even asked about it, but he talked. 1520 01:30:57.079 --> 01:31:02.079 About it the game tonight to visit and my plan 1521 01:31:02.199 --> 01:31:08.840 was to talk about Shustaph already win or lose, I'm 1522 01:31:08.840 --> 01:31:11.800 gonna try to beat Coherent because this is not for me. Yes, 1523 01:31:11.800 --> 01:31:16.279 we lost today, obviously I'm not happy with that, but 1524 01:31:17.079 --> 01:31:25.079 I'm not appy also about the lack of understanding of 1525 01:31:25.199 --> 01:31:30.920 a clear situations. So I'm going to explain myself after 1526 01:31:31.039 --> 01:31:36.920 to night game. We are at salin nine matches played. 1527 01:31:39.720 --> 01:31:43.119 We were mandated to have three goalkeepers on the team 1528 01:31:43.119 --> 01:31:49.920 sheet for CCC. This is what we did. We had 1529 01:31:49.920 --> 01:31:54.560 to use a coll op for a friendly game against 1530 01:31:54.560 --> 01:31:58.640 aston Villa. So why I'm not happy before the game 1531 01:31:59.399 --> 01:32:01.439 all the week it's happened. I was not appeal about 1532 01:32:01.439 --> 01:32:06.479 that because there is a rule, as you know, we 1533 01:32:06.520 --> 01:32:13.880 can use only four times four collps. One player from 1534 01:32:13.880 --> 01:32:20.000 the reserve team was a contract as you know, you 1535 01:32:20.039 --> 01:32:22.000 know the issue that we had with the goalkeepers, with 1536 01:32:22.079 --> 01:32:27.279 even Bush, So we tried to anticipate that we trade 1537 01:32:27.640 --> 01:32:32.159 for adding a Ford goalkeeper, knowing that we could have 1538 01:32:32.199 --> 01:32:37.239 a situation like this today. And when we ask before 1539 01:32:37.279 --> 01:32:43.479 the game to have another call Op four our goalkeeper 1540 01:32:43.520 --> 01:32:49.600 for the reserve team, they said no, knowing that these 1541 01:32:49.640 --> 01:32:56.800 games seattle. We were supposed to play this game in March, 1542 01:32:58.399 --> 01:33:05.079 around March. So for me, yes, we lost. But again 1543 01:33:06.520 --> 01:33:11.960 the MLS, the league, there is a clear evolution about 1544 01:33:12.560 --> 01:33:15.359 the way we do things, the numbers of game that 1545 01:33:15.439 --> 01:33:18.359 we have. There is addition for the League's Cup, there 1546 01:33:18.399 --> 01:33:20.760 is addition for the World Cup, and so on and 1547 01:33:21.000 --> 01:33:21.680 so on and so on. 1548 01:33:21.920 --> 01:33:25.520 We are pleased with that. All. 1549 01:33:25.600 --> 01:33:29.359 Yeah, when you ask me the question about how many 1550 01:33:29.399 --> 01:33:31.680 games you gotta be tired, we have. We have a 1551 01:33:31.720 --> 01:33:35.159 lot of games and so on. I never complained because 1552 01:33:35.199 --> 01:33:39.279 I said we won't. So this is the reward of 1553 01:33:39.800 --> 01:33:43.159 the fact that we won't. So we have games, and 1554 01:33:43.199 --> 01:33:45.039 we are pleased with that. We are proud of that. 1555 01:33:47.039 --> 01:33:50.600 But I cannot understand whence there is a lack of coherence. 1556 01:33:51.479 --> 01:33:53.920 We have a simple rules. That's why we don't use 1557 01:33:53.960 --> 01:33:56.880 the color when we do the frontly game, the precison game, 1558 01:33:57.800 --> 01:34:01.199 we play the stone Villa, so start and call, we 1559 01:34:01.279 --> 01:34:05.079 call them, they play serow minutes and we use all 1560 01:34:05.119 --> 01:34:09.039 the eight corps total for them. So what is the point. 1561 01:34:09.359 --> 01:34:14.279 I'm not asking to ban the coll ops. I'm asking 1562 01:34:14.439 --> 01:34:23.039 to add more corps because we have more games. This 1563 01:34:23.279 --> 01:34:26.600 is impossible to think like that for me. This is 1564 01:34:26.640 --> 01:34:30.079 a lack of this is this is I'm losing a 1565 01:34:30.079 --> 01:34:32.880 bit my words in English. But this is not this 1566 01:34:32.920 --> 01:34:36.760 is a command in manonette and manionette. This is this 1567 01:34:36.920 --> 01:34:45.159 is this honest. So we just asked to add a 1568 01:34:45.199 --> 01:34:48.000 coll op because of the situation that I told you. 1569 01:34:49.239 --> 01:34:53.560 We said no, they said no, But we use a 1570 01:34:53.600 --> 01:34:55.960 coll op for the friendly game, and we we. 1571 01:34:56.039 --> 01:34:57.840 Are a club to develop players. 1572 01:34:59.600 --> 01:35:02.840 So what is the message? Knowing that I can talk 1573 01:35:03.159 --> 01:35:05.920 because we have a young team, and we are able 1574 01:35:06.000 --> 01:35:09.000 to win with a young team, and we are able 1575 01:35:09.039 --> 01:35:12.520 to do good things with the academy. I'm really proud 1576 01:35:12.520 --> 01:35:14.680 of all the players I want with the national team. 1577 01:35:14.800 --> 01:35:17.640 I'm not complaining. I don't complain about that. I have 1578 01:35:17.680 --> 01:35:19.520 no problem with that. I do this job for that. 1579 01:35:22.199 --> 01:35:26.399 But why are we going to sign a player a 1580 01:35:26.439 --> 01:35:35.159 young player a professional contract for one game, knowing that 1581 01:35:35.279 --> 01:35:40.560 this is not the moment to sign this player, because 1582 01:35:40.560 --> 01:35:42.600 what is going to happen what we're gonna sign this 1583 01:35:42.680 --> 01:35:47.279 player is going to come in the local room, He's 1584 01:35:47.319 --> 01:35:49.199 going to be part of the group. But he's not 1585 01:35:49.319 --> 01:35:53.119 ready for that. So what is the message for the 1586 01:35:53.159 --> 01:35:55.800 young players in the academy? Oh, yes, I signed a 1587 01:35:55.800 --> 01:35:58.359 player because I didn't have a goalkeeper or they didn't 1588 01:35:58.399 --> 01:36:04.119 have a player. Hey, to become a professional player. Sorry 1589 01:36:04.239 --> 01:36:11.039 my language, but this is fucking difficult. Ah, we signed him. Call, 1590 01:36:11.479 --> 01:36:16.119 we signed him, but there is different pathway with that call. 1591 01:36:16.239 --> 01:36:20.359 We had to learn him because there is different pathway 1592 01:36:20.439 --> 01:36:25.560 to become a good consistent player. I'm not saying that 1593 01:36:25.680 --> 01:36:28.520 we will not sign player. I will like young players, 1594 01:36:28.560 --> 01:36:31.399 That's why I'm here. I like also odd player, but 1595 01:36:31.520 --> 01:36:36.960 then we should have consistency. It's a wrong message if 1596 01:36:37.000 --> 01:36:39.479 we don't adjust that with the number of the game 1597 01:36:39.560 --> 01:36:43.720 that we have, it's the wrong message. The league wants 1598 01:36:43.800 --> 01:36:48.319 to add more young players, no problem. I started my 1599 01:36:48.399 --> 01:36:52.159 career at eighteen years old, but I stop at twenty 1600 01:36:52.159 --> 01:36:57.680 two years old. Maybe I started to first, Maybe I 1601 01:36:57.800 --> 01:37:00.760 earned a lot of money when I was eighteen years old, 1602 01:37:01.000 --> 01:37:04.039 but at twenty two years old, I had no more money. 1603 01:37:04.239 --> 01:37:06.640 So what is the singal? So we're gonna sign a 1604 01:37:06.680 --> 01:37:09.760 player to give him a good salary at eighteen years 1605 01:37:09.760 --> 01:37:13.840 old or seventeen years old. Instead of winning thirty thousand dollars, 1606 01:37:14.000 --> 01:37:18.399 we're gonna give him a salary of eight year thousand dollars. 1607 01:37:19.079 --> 01:37:21.039 It's gonna be happy, but at the end of the day, 1608 01:37:21.319 --> 01:37:28.560 it will not play. There is different pathway for few players, 1609 01:37:29.960 --> 01:37:35.239 so the CBER they have to understand that. And I'm 1610 01:37:35.279 --> 01:37:36.960 not upset because we lost the game. 1611 01:37:37.840 --> 01:37:39.039 I was a bit. 1612 01:37:39.199 --> 01:37:43.479 I was upset already before the game all week because 1613 01:37:43.479 --> 01:37:44.520 this is not careerrent. 1614 01:37:48.399 --> 01:37:55.079 Thank you courteousy of our friends at Massive Report. That 1615 01:37:55.239 --> 01:38:02.000 was Wilford Nanci after lose the match at home to 1616 01:38:02.039 --> 01:38:07.800 Seattle on the weekend. It is a topic that we've 1617 01:38:07.840 --> 01:38:13.680 brought up here on the morning show a lot and 1618 01:38:14.279 --> 01:38:17.199 nan Sea makes a lot of good points in this. 1619 01:38:21.239 --> 01:38:23.439 You have to make a call up for a friendly 1620 01:38:23.680 --> 01:38:29.159 against aston Villa and it counts against your numbers. If 1621 01:38:29.199 --> 01:38:32.479 that is in fact the case, then you ought to 1622 01:38:32.520 --> 01:38:37.199 get to make good from the league for having that 1623 01:38:37.319 --> 01:38:42.199 call up that you had to have in a friendly 1624 01:38:42.279 --> 01:38:44.520 that has no bearing on anything going on in Major 1625 01:38:44.600 --> 01:38:49.920 League Soccer. We've talked about it when it comes to 1626 01:38:50.279 --> 01:38:55.640 other competitions. We've talked about it when it comes to 1627 01:38:56.000 --> 01:39:01.159 how the league in and of itself has addressed Open 1628 01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:04.319 Cup in the past and probably should address Open Cup 1629 01:39:04.319 --> 01:39:12.079 in the future. Relax your roster rules. Relax your roster 1630 01:39:12.199 --> 01:39:17.119 rules in an Open Cup situation. Relax your roster rules 1631 01:39:17.119 --> 01:39:19.880 for those friendlies. Because once again, as well for Nanzi 1632 01:39:19.920 --> 01:39:22.399 said he had to make he had to have a 1633 01:39:23.159 --> 01:39:30.399 call up for a friendly against aston Villa, And I 1634 01:39:30.439 --> 01:39:33.359 think that what this is once again, I think that 1635 01:39:33.560 --> 01:39:39.319 once again it emphasizes the need for Major League Soccer. 1636 01:39:41.600 --> 01:39:43.720 Let me see if I have something that would fit here. 1637 01:39:45.680 --> 01:39:48.520 This notebook doesn't have all of the pages in it anymore. 1638 01:39:48.960 --> 01:39:52.479 I've used a lot of pages traditionally when we have 1639 01:39:52.520 --> 01:39:54.760 a notebook, you know, when we get the notebook at 1640 01:39:54.760 --> 01:39:57.560 the beginning, this is almost like doctor Joe Macknick and 1641 01:39:57.600 --> 01:40:01.520 the rule book. You know what, what what does the notebook do? 1642 01:40:02.640 --> 01:40:07.000 Notebook's flexible rule the rules of the game. The rules 1643 01:40:07.000 --> 01:40:14.560 of the game, according to Doctor Joe flexible. So once 1644 01:40:14.640 --> 01:40:19.680 again we have an instance where Crew because of all 1645 01:40:19.720 --> 01:40:28.239 of their specific rules that you have to have, the 1646 01:40:28.319 --> 01:40:33.159 rules of engagement, the rules of the road when it 1647 01:40:33.239 --> 01:40:40.239 comes to roster call ups, and the machinations of paying 1648 01:40:40.279 --> 01:40:42.640 a player. I mean he mentioned Cole Moroca, who we've 1649 01:40:42.680 --> 01:40:46.119 seen with Crew two with Atlanta United. To to help 1650 01:40:46.159 --> 01:40:51.760 further Cole's career, you loaned him out. In some situations 1651 01:40:51.800 --> 01:40:55.600 when you have to call a player up, I mean, 1652 01:40:55.640 --> 01:40:59.199 you're you're paying them that you know, that daily salary, 1653 01:40:59.319 --> 01:41:02.079 or you're signing him to a deal, to a first 1654 01:41:02.119 --> 01:41:06.680 team contract, the veteran men, that eighty thousand number that 1655 01:41:06.760 --> 01:41:11.279 he mentioned. But what good does it do? I mean, 1656 01:41:11.319 --> 01:41:15.840 it does great for your bank account, no doubt, but 1657 01:41:15.920 --> 01:41:18.439 what good does it do under the current construct of 1658 01:41:18.439 --> 01:41:21.319 the rules. If you're called up, you're signed to a 1659 01:41:21.319 --> 01:41:28.000 first team deal because you need a guy because you've 1660 01:41:28.039 --> 01:41:30.680 got other guys that are, you know, off international duty, 1661 01:41:30.680 --> 01:41:34.680 which is a good thing, But what good does it 1662 01:41:34.840 --> 01:41:37.840 do the player if you sign him to a deal, 1663 01:41:40.239 --> 01:41:42.399 you know, and if it is the first team contractor 1664 01:41:42.399 --> 01:41:44.279 what have you. You bring the player up under whatever 1665 01:41:44.319 --> 01:41:49.560 construct you want to use, and he doesn't play. Like 1666 01:41:49.640 --> 01:41:51.479 I said, we've seen it with the Landy United that 1667 01:41:51.600 --> 01:41:53.560 Landy United's had to bring players up just to kind 1668 01:41:53.560 --> 01:41:58.479 of fill out a bench they don't play. But once 1669 01:41:58.520 --> 01:42:01.439 again with will Ford NANSI what he said after the match, 1670 01:42:01.439 --> 01:42:05.199 he said, he's not complaining about the match. It was 1671 01:42:05.239 --> 01:42:08.920 what it was. He was mad coming in because of 1672 01:42:08.960 --> 01:42:13.199 all of the machinations that he had to do, and 1673 01:42:13.239 --> 01:42:15.560 he only had the one keeper because of all of 1674 01:42:15.560 --> 01:42:18.439 the previous machinations he had because he's so successful as 1675 01:42:18.439 --> 01:42:21.760 a club inside Major League Soccer, he only had the 1676 01:42:21.760 --> 01:42:27.760 one keeper. Abram Romero gets a red card. Shan Zawatski, 1677 01:42:27.800 --> 01:42:30.640 here's your multicolor jersey. You get to wear it for 1678 01:42:30.640 --> 01:42:35.880 the rest of the day. But I think this is 1679 01:42:35.920 --> 01:42:41.560 the most recent example of how the roster rules and 1680 01:42:41.600 --> 01:42:44.359 the roster rules of engagement need to be more flexible. 1681 01:42:46.640 --> 01:42:49.319 I don't understand if this is in fact the case 1682 01:42:49.359 --> 01:42:52.600 where if you have to have callups for a friendly, 1683 01:42:52.760 --> 01:42:56.640 how that counts against you. In your eight call ups 1684 01:42:56.680 --> 01:42:59.239 during a year, four of which you can use, four 1685 01:42:59.239 --> 01:43:03.439 of which players you can how that counts against you. 1686 01:43:03.560 --> 01:43:07.680 I don't understand that. I really don't. That should be 1687 01:43:07.720 --> 01:43:09.840 something that should be taken off to the side. It 1688 01:43:09.920 --> 01:43:12.640 is a friendly. It is outside the construct of any 1689 01:43:12.720 --> 01:43:16.960 kind of a competition that matters involving a Major League 1690 01:43:16.960 --> 01:43:23.119 soccer club, but apparently it doesn't. So you've got to 1691 01:43:23.159 --> 01:43:26.399 be mindful of who you call up for these kinds 1692 01:43:26.439 --> 01:43:29.399 of things, knowing in fact that it is a friendly, 1693 01:43:29.840 --> 01:43:32.359 knowing that you don't want to damage any of your starters. 1694 01:43:32.359 --> 01:43:34.159 But at the same time, folks are paying good money 1695 01:43:34.199 --> 01:43:38.960 to see your starters play minutes. So I think that 1696 01:43:39.039 --> 01:43:42.960 once again Wilford Nanci is reinforcing the fact that we 1697 01:43:43.039 --> 01:43:45.039 got to take a look at the rules of engagement 1698 01:43:45.079 --> 01:43:51.000 from Major League Soccer, benefiting the clubs, making sure that 1699 01:43:51.079 --> 01:43:53.720 they can be as flexible as possible when it comes 1700 01:43:53.720 --> 01:43:56.880 to competitions, because if you're successful once again, you're gonna 1701 01:43:56.920 --> 01:44:01.199 need to figure out how to navigate ate everything so 1702 01:44:01.239 --> 01:44:04.960 you can be as one hundred percent as possible and 1703 01:44:05.000 --> 01:44:08.039 that could have a not gone effect in how you 1704 01:44:08.399 --> 01:44:13.359 navigate your Open Cup. Rosters do it like they do 1705 01:44:13.479 --> 01:44:16.880 you know, the the NBA, the ten day deal, but 1706 01:44:17.279 --> 01:44:19.760 don't sit there and put a number on it. You 1707 01:44:19.800 --> 01:44:21.680 can only do it X number of times this season. 1708 01:44:24.199 --> 01:44:26.319 Well what if what if you're successful, or what if 1709 01:44:26.359 --> 01:44:28.319 you have more things going on than x number of 1710 01:44:28.359 --> 01:44:34.479 games allow you get pinned into a situation like Wilford 1711 01:44:34.520 --> 01:44:39.359 Nanci did this past weekend with Columbus. Like I said, 1712 01:44:39.399 --> 01:44:41.600 we looked at the bottom of that roster, the game 1713 01:44:41.680 --> 01:44:48.439 day roster, Tahaja Brun Gibron Rayo, and who was the 1714 01:44:48.479 --> 01:44:51.960 third who was the third roster? Who was the third 1715 01:44:52.000 --> 01:44:55.399 one that I can't remember, uh Tahaha Brun Gibron Ryo 1716 01:44:56.079 --> 01:44:59.239 and the third one crap, I can't remember who the 1717 01:44:59.239 --> 01:45:01.239 third one was. This is what happens when you end 1718 01:45:01.319 --> 01:45:05.680 up with with crew two on the brain and you 1719 01:45:05.720 --> 01:45:10.680 can't remember who it was, Who was it? Who wasn't? 1720 01:45:10.680 --> 01:45:16.920 Who was it? Oh? Oh, I press this? I mean 1721 01:45:16.960 --> 01:45:22.840 Seattle had Seattle signed Georgie Manongoo to a deal, and 1722 01:45:22.960 --> 01:45:25.279 Niko Morena was under the impression that was probably gonna 1723 01:45:25.359 --> 01:45:30.800 end up being a permanent But you look at Sutak Tahara, 1724 01:45:31.479 --> 01:45:37.319 Dylan Tevis, Jacob Castro, those individuals are probably heading back 1725 01:45:37.319 --> 01:45:42.880 to Tacoma. But Minongoo signed a deal, signed that first 1726 01:45:42.880 --> 01:45:49.640 team contract. But they had a they meaning Seattle had 1727 01:45:49.680 --> 01:45:55.520 a longer bench in this matchup than Columbus did. No 1728 01:45:55.640 --> 01:45:59.319 backup keeper, seven players deep, three called up from Crew 1729 01:45:59.359 --> 01:46:04.920 two nine for Seattle on the day, and it looks 1730 01:46:04.960 --> 01:46:06.479 like three were called up from crew two and you 1731 01:46:06.640 --> 01:46:11.239 sign man noon go to a first team deal. So 1732 01:46:11.359 --> 01:46:17.720 once again, this is another situation, another variant of the 1733 01:46:17.760 --> 01:46:20.840 same topic that we've had on a couple of different occasions. 1734 01:46:23.760 --> 01:46:26.159 But my biggest raising of the hand is why should 1735 01:46:26.199 --> 01:46:31.319 a friendly count against you? Why should a friendly count 1736 01:46:31.359 --> 01:46:39.199 against you? Alex, Yes, this CBA really liked how it 1737 01:46:39.279 --> 01:46:41.640 was in a generalized gripe about MLS, but a very 1738 01:46:41.680 --> 01:46:44.279 specific takedown because players get paid for friendlies and the 1739 01:46:44.279 --> 01:46:47.520 players' union doesn't differentiate the competition its members are laboring in. 1740 01:46:47.840 --> 01:46:49.680 The union doesn't want the players to get used to 1741 01:46:49.680 --> 01:46:52.119 too much without the guarantees of a contract. And no, 1742 01:46:52.239 --> 01:46:54.359 it's not any and Alex, you know, Alex says it's 1743 01:46:54.359 --> 01:46:58.560 not an easy thing to fix on the fly. As 1744 01:46:58.720 --> 01:47:01.239 much as MLS loves to lay a directly in front 1745 01:47:01.279 --> 01:47:04.720 of them, Alex doesn't think this is on them directly. No, 1746 01:47:05.399 --> 01:47:10.640 I mean it was something that was negotiated in a CBA, 1747 01:47:10.880 --> 01:47:16.800 and so I think that you have to have that 1748 01:47:17.119 --> 01:47:21.159 baseline of you have to have those guideposts. But I 1749 01:47:21.199 --> 01:47:24.119 think that also when it comes to competition. I think 1750 01:47:24.159 --> 01:47:28.560 that the league can sit there and make allowances when 1751 01:47:28.560 --> 01:47:31.359 it comes to call ups and player involvement, you know, 1752 01:47:31.560 --> 01:47:34.359 second team players and academy players and all that kind 1753 01:47:34.359 --> 01:47:37.279 of stuff. If in that, you know, then if in 1754 01:47:37.319 --> 01:47:41.359 that match, the fore nill not the the Villa friendly. 1755 01:47:44.039 --> 01:47:46.399 If in I mean the friend, let the friendly be 1756 01:47:46.439 --> 01:47:49.279 a friendly. Fine, But since it is outside of the 1757 01:47:49.279 --> 01:47:52.399 construct of a match inside of Major League Soccer, then 1758 01:47:52.439 --> 01:47:57.279 it shouldn't. It should not count against everything else that's attached. 1759 01:47:58.560 --> 01:48:01.720 It's another example, another example of a couple of line 1760 01:48:01.800 --> 01:48:06.520 items that are in the CBA that I think need 1761 01:48:06.560 --> 01:48:11.359 to be looked at because then because of your own 1762 01:48:11.359 --> 01:48:15.239 success and you're having to work on the fly, you 1763 01:48:15.319 --> 01:48:17.000 get too late in the year and you have a 1764 01:48:17.039 --> 01:48:20.520 situation like we have this weekend, amplified by the fact 1765 01:48:20.560 --> 01:48:22.960 that the keeper that you had your only keeper, ends 1766 01:48:23.000 --> 01:48:26.479 up with a red card. So I think that I 1767 01:48:26.520 --> 01:48:28.079 think that both sides have to sit down at the 1768 01:48:28.079 --> 01:48:32.239 table and make allowances for Okay, well, say a friendly 1769 01:48:32.640 --> 01:48:35.840 doesn't attach itself to the regular season or any competitions 1770 01:48:35.840 --> 01:48:38.880 that the Major League Soccers attached to League's Cup, Open Cup, 1771 01:48:39.399 --> 01:48:46.520 regular season, so those outside friendlies should not count in 1772 01:48:46.600 --> 01:48:50.239 the instances of trying to call someone up and be 1773 01:48:50.399 --> 01:48:52.479 okay and just to have them, you know, and have 1774 01:48:52.520 --> 01:48:57.600 it be okay basically. So I didn't know if I 1775 01:48:57.640 --> 01:49:00.079 was going to go that long with it, but but 1776 01:49:00.600 --> 01:49:03.319 I thought it was important. You know, when you've got 1777 01:49:03.359 --> 01:49:07.079 when you have a coach like Wilford Nanci who is 1778 01:49:07.239 --> 01:49:12.399 as successful as he is lay out an issue that 1779 01:49:12.520 --> 01:49:16.920 he has with roster construction and being able to construct 1780 01:49:16.920 --> 01:49:20.319 a roster on a game day basis. Like I said, 1781 01:49:20.439 --> 01:49:24.079 much with Caleb Porter in our number one all right, Abby, 1782 01:49:24.119 --> 01:49:27.119 good to see you, Thank you for catching up with 1783 01:49:27.119 --> 01:49:32.640 me yesterday offline, and I thought I thought that hearing 1784 01:49:32.760 --> 01:49:36.880 both of those press conference opportunities in their entirety, I 1785 01:49:36.880 --> 01:49:42.960 thought it was important so we all can hear something 1786 01:49:43.039 --> 01:49:48.079 more than a SoundBite when it comes to when it 1787 01:49:48.119 --> 01:49:51.920 comes to those coaches and their issues that they have 1788 01:49:52.319 --> 01:49:59.960 and understandably so okay. News of the day legitimately probably 1789 01:50:00.039 --> 01:50:07.920 has more to do with our friends that the athletic 1790 01:50:08.039 --> 01:50:14.640 than anything else. Abstromobiles almost completed with decor people, very 1791 01:50:14.760 --> 01:50:15.520 very cool. 1792 01:50:16.880 --> 01:50:17.039 But. 1793 01:50:18.800 --> 01:50:21.399 Biggest topic that I wanted to get into this morning 1794 01:50:21.880 --> 01:50:26.560 has to do obviously with Chelsea and the ownership crisis 1795 01:50:26.720 --> 01:50:33.520 therein as it's being referred to. It appears that not 1796 01:50:33.600 --> 01:50:38.560 everything is right in Mudville, and we go to our 1797 01:50:38.560 --> 01:50:41.880 friends at the Athletic. I love how once again, how 1798 01:50:41.880 --> 01:50:46.560 it's a New York Times byline. I think that I 1799 01:50:46.560 --> 01:50:52.239 always thought that that was pretty funny. But it appears 1800 01:50:52.920 --> 01:51:00.680 that obviously things ain't right right now with Chelsea as 1801 01:51:00.680 --> 01:51:06.079 they sit there and they give me a as they 1802 01:51:06.119 --> 01:51:09.800 give me an article about Ernest Slut and what he's 1803 01:51:09.840 --> 01:51:12.119 going through at Liverpool, which is the one that I 1804 01:51:12.159 --> 01:51:16.039 didn't click on. Why clearly In Bowley's marriage is at 1805 01:51:16.039 --> 01:51:22.520 a breaking point once again? It is Toomey Simon Johnson 1806 01:51:22.960 --> 01:51:27.520 and a lot more dudes. So a little bit more 1807 01:51:27.600 --> 01:51:32.359 than two years after their takeover clear Lake's Capital, clear 1808 01:51:32.439 --> 01:51:36.399 Lake Capital's marriage to Todd Buley is in tatters. Those 1809 01:51:36.439 --> 01:51:39.840 are the words that they use. Rumbling is the discontent 1810 01:51:39.880 --> 01:51:43.479 audible behind the scenes. Specific accusations of breakdowns and relations 1811 01:51:43.479 --> 01:51:47.319 between Bowley and clear Lake co founder Beatadic Bali, We're 1812 01:51:47.359 --> 01:51:49.600 always denied until now now, in the wake of a 1813 01:51:49.640 --> 01:51:52.600 Bloomberg report last week that revealed clear Lake and Bully 1814 01:51:52.640 --> 01:51:57.439 are each exploring the ownership options. All parties for the 1815 01:51:57.439 --> 01:51:59.800 first time acknowledged the scale of the riff. People from 1816 01:51:59.800 --> 01:52:03.479 there with Bowley's thinking say he considers his relationship with 1817 01:52:03.520 --> 01:52:08.159 clear Lake and Igbali to be irreconcilable, and the others 1818 01:52:08.560 --> 01:52:12.119 claim the two men barely speak to one another. Med 1819 01:52:12.159 --> 01:52:15.880 the many points of contention broad agreement. Three factors, in particular, 1820 01:52:15.920 --> 01:52:18.439 if contributed to the fracturing of the owners A fundamental 1821 01:52:18.439 --> 01:52:21.399 cultural difference in how the Premier League club should operate. 1822 01:52:22.600 --> 01:52:26.199 That's not good clear Lake and Bully, each believing the 1823 01:52:26.239 --> 01:52:30.560 other has sought to unduly influenced sporting decisions. Two the 1824 01:52:30.600 --> 01:52:33.159 decision to mutually part ways with Mauricio Pochattino at the 1825 01:52:33.239 --> 01:52:35.479 end of last season, which exposed the first public fault 1826 01:52:35.560 --> 01:52:39.880 lines three lack of tangible progress in the stadium project 1827 01:52:39.920 --> 01:52:42.359 over the last two years, with the club not yet 1828 01:52:42.399 --> 01:52:45.439 resolved on a revamp or a rebuild of Stamford Bridge 1829 01:52:45.840 --> 01:52:50.079 or moving to a nearby sighted Earl's Court. Meeting took 1830 01:52:50.079 --> 01:52:52.920 place last month when the pair decided to explore their options. 1831 01:52:52.960 --> 01:52:55.800 Bowley and associates have received approaches from investors in recent 1832 01:52:55.800 --> 01:52:58.479 weeks with a view to buying out clear Lake. While 1833 01:52:58.560 --> 01:53:06.039 clear Lake has aspirations to buy out Bully, committing one 1834 01:53:06.039 --> 01:53:08.439 point to more than one point two billion pounds in 1835 01:53:08.479 --> 01:53:12.039 transfer fees generating more than five hundred million pounds in sales, 1836 01:53:14.720 --> 01:53:19.199 Bully has been the name most often cited. He has 1837 01:53:19.239 --> 01:53:22.119 not led recruitment at Stamford Bridge, however, since January of 1838 01:53:22.159 --> 01:53:26.079 twenty three, when he relinquished his interim sporting director title 1839 01:53:28.119 --> 01:53:30.760 once again. That coincided with Paul win Stanley and Lawrence 1840 01:53:30.760 --> 01:53:34.520 Stewart as co sporting directors. Eg Bali remained very active 1841 01:53:34.560 --> 01:53:37.760 on the sporting side, flying to Turkey with wyn Stanley 1842 01:53:37.800 --> 01:53:41.079 to pitch Shaktardnets on a deal to sign Mikayla Mudric 1843 01:53:41.560 --> 01:53:46.720 initially for seventy with a further thirty in potential due 1844 01:53:46.760 --> 01:53:51.359 to do in performance related add ons. That's a possible 1845 01:53:51.359 --> 01:53:56.800 one hundred million euro max on Moudric, contributing to why 1846 01:53:56.840 --> 01:53:58.640 they signed him to an eight year deal so they 1847 01:53:58.640 --> 01:54:03.119 could defray the cost all the way through. Win Stanley 1848 01:54:03.159 --> 01:54:07.079 and Stewart continue to work closely with Eggbali. They led 1849 01:54:07.119 --> 01:54:14.439 the negotiations on getting Enzo Fernandez from benficag Bali's more 1850 01:54:14.479 --> 01:54:18.239 engaged in the day to day, but Stanford Bridge and 1851 01:54:18.279 --> 01:54:22.239 at Cobbham the training complex. As the representative of the 1852 01:54:22.239 --> 01:54:24.600 private equity, from the own sixty one and a half 1853 01:54:24.680 --> 01:54:26.920 percent of the club's shares, he can be considered the 1854 01:54:26.960 --> 01:54:31.600 most powerful figure. Bully's approach, is evidenced by his work 1855 01:54:31.640 --> 01:54:34.119 with the Dodgers, is to hire specialists and allow them 1856 01:54:34.159 --> 01:54:37.119 to get on with their jobs, while clear Lake, particularly 1857 01:54:37.159 --> 01:54:39.560 ag Bali, has taken a role considered by Bully to 1858 01:54:39.560 --> 01:54:43.640 be micromanaging. A source close to Bullie's side described Agbali's 1859 01:54:43.680 --> 01:54:51.039 being obsessed with player trading. One person familiar with Clearlake's 1860 01:54:51.039 --> 01:54:54.399 thinking disputes this, insisting Agbali's level of engagement in Chelsea's 1861 01:54:54.439 --> 01:54:58.479 recruitment serves only to support Winn, Stanley and Stuart, not 1862 01:54:58.600 --> 01:55:01.479 least regarding the numbers involving the transfers and contracts and 1863 01:55:01.520 --> 01:55:06.640 structuring of deals where his financial acumen complements their football expertise. 1864 01:55:10.039 --> 01:55:12.840 In any case, all major decisions taken at Chelsea requires 1865 01:55:12.880 --> 01:55:16.720 sign off from Bowley, ag Bali and Clearlake co founder 1866 01:55:16.800 --> 01:55:20.119 jose E Feliciano. Boley has never exercised his veto power 1867 01:55:20.159 --> 01:55:23.720 over transfers. The lack of open resistance, according to figures 1868 01:55:23.720 --> 01:55:25.319 close to him, is due to a desire to pick 1869 01:55:25.359 --> 01:55:32.159 his battles. Similarly, Similarly, no clear like checks on any 1870 01:55:32.159 --> 01:55:35.000 of the transfer business conducted during Bullie's ill fated tenure 1871 01:55:35.359 --> 01:55:40.199 as interim sporting director in summer of twenty two, tried 1872 01:55:40.199 --> 01:55:45.319 to address the unsuccessful signing selling Kula Bali and Obama Yang, 1873 01:55:45.319 --> 01:55:48.600 freezing out Sterling before loaning him to Arsenal Yep. Many 1874 01:55:48.600 --> 01:55:51.640 have questioned the wisdom of subsidizing a large part of 1875 01:55:51.640 --> 01:55:54.479 Sterling's wages as he lines up for a team likely 1876 01:55:54.520 --> 01:56:00.560 to be bone of Chelsea's competitors in the Champions League Totino. 1877 01:56:00.640 --> 01:56:05.199 In the second half of May, Bully made public pronouncements 1878 01:56:05.239 --> 01:56:09.079 at Sportico and that the quitar economic forum that appeared 1879 01:56:09.079 --> 01:56:13.279 to advocate for keeping him on his head coach. Bully 1880 01:56:13.359 --> 01:56:16.119 then raised his eyebrows at Stamford Bridge by inviting Pochettino 1881 01:56:16.159 --> 01:56:18.560 to a private dinner on the Friday evening before chelsea 1882 01:56:18.680 --> 01:56:22.720 season ending home win against Bournemouth, a courtesy that the 1883 01:56:22.760 --> 01:56:25.520 coach promptly disclosed the journalist. In his final press conference 1884 01:56:25.520 --> 01:56:29.079 of the campaign following Tuesday, it was announced that they 1885 01:56:29.199 --> 01:56:31.760 decided to part ways. After six hours of discussions over 1886 01:56:31.800 --> 01:56:35.319 two days at Cobham with wyn Stanley Stewart and agbaliwell 1887 01:56:35.359 --> 01:56:40.279 Bully dialed in from the US. People familiar with Bully's 1888 01:56:40.279 --> 01:56:43.640 thinking say he wanted Chelsea to retain Pochattino, didn't formally 1889 01:56:43.720 --> 01:56:47.880 veto when the final decision was mutually reached. These sources 1890 01:56:47.880 --> 01:56:52.479 and he considers meaning Bully. Bully considers egg Bali to 1891 01:56:52.479 --> 01:56:55.640 be trigger happy and the driver of the call to 1892 01:56:55.680 --> 01:57:01.239 move on in the Pochattino case. Also, a belief on 1893 01:57:01.239 --> 01:57:03.800 the clear Lake side being overruled by Chelsea's sporting leadership 1894 01:57:03.800 --> 01:57:06.039 on Pochattina was the tipping point for Bulli to begin 1895 01:57:06.199 --> 01:57:14.039 exploring his options within ownership structure, diverging interests. Question is 1896 01:57:14.039 --> 01:57:16.279 why the parties didn't see the tension coming when they 1897 01:57:16.359 --> 01:57:18.800 came together to buy out Abramovich back in twenty two. 1898 01:57:19.720 --> 01:57:26.159 Never operated a business together going in tensions during Pochettino's 1899 01:57:26.760 --> 01:57:29.920 tenure and the way he played out his exposed the 1900 01:57:29.920 --> 01:57:32.920 fault lines among Chelsea's owners once again, which have now fractured. 1901 01:57:33.680 --> 01:57:38.119 So it is a long read, no surprise, but it 1902 01:57:38.159 --> 01:57:44.479 goes into the stadium issues, and it goes into the 1903 01:57:44.560 --> 01:57:48.319 relationship or lack thereof now with Bully and clear Lake, 1904 01:57:48.399 --> 01:57:52.720 so we'll see what happens there. Matching rights veto powers 1905 01:57:52.720 --> 01:57:57.000 regarding potential offers from outside investors. Clear Lake can therefore 1906 01:57:57.119 --> 01:58:00.600 credibly argue all roads must go through its majority shareholder, 1907 01:58:01.359 --> 01:58:03.119 but Bully and the others also have to a measure 1908 01:58:03.119 --> 01:58:06.600 of protection against any changes to the ownership structure that 1909 01:58:07.520 --> 01:58:11.479 do not have their approval. Also important note that not 1910 01:58:11.520 --> 01:58:14.680 all Chelsea shares are created equal. Clear Lake shares are 1911 01:58:14.760 --> 01:58:18.600 Class A Senior, Bully and his co investors are Class 1912 01:58:18.680 --> 01:58:21.279 B junior meeting the latter are exposed to first loss 1913 01:58:21.279 --> 01:58:25.880 of the club loses value. Walter and Viz would be 1914 01:58:25.880 --> 01:58:28.119 guaranteed the same rate of return on selling their stakes 1915 01:58:28.119 --> 01:58:34.960 as like Bali, Feliciano and clear Lake. Clear Lake and 1916 01:58:34.960 --> 01:58:37.600 Bolli have set out their respective stalls, but posturing with 1917 01:58:37.640 --> 01:58:41.800 an exaggerated level of conviction high level business. Neither party 1918 01:58:41.880 --> 01:58:44.680 is going on the record to clearly state their intentions 1919 01:58:45.600 --> 01:58:48.600 really and reassure the club's supporters. Nobody knows how or 1920 01:58:48.640 --> 01:58:54.039 when this will end it ends quote. What is clear, however, 1921 01:58:54.119 --> 01:58:57.039 is that the public litigation of these grievances only deepens 1922 01:58:57.039 --> 01:59:01.479 the sense of disorienting instability Chelsea failed to escape since 1923 01:59:01.520 --> 01:59:03.800 the first sale sign went up outside Stanford Bridge more 1924 01:59:03.800 --> 01:59:11.439 than two years ago. So that is your requested required reading. 1925 01:59:11.520 --> 01:59:13.880 Kind of bounced around and talked about it a little bit. 1926 01:59:15.399 --> 01:59:18.239 But yes, according to Crafton, the source attention interesting more 1927 01:59:18.239 --> 01:59:21.279 than just Postchatino's exit, which bully opposed but didn't formally 1928 01:59:21.399 --> 01:59:25.920 veto ultimately a culture clash between investor types individual money 1929 01:59:25.920 --> 01:59:30.760 equity versus private equity. And then Crafton has the look 1930 01:59:30.760 --> 01:59:35.039 of that in New York Times. So that is that's 1931 01:59:35.039 --> 01:59:38.560 your Monday. That's your monday here at SDH. Let me 1932 01:59:38.600 --> 01:59:41.399 second see if there's anything to watch, what to watch, 1933 01:59:41.439 --> 01:59:43.199 how to watch it, where to watch it, those kinds 1934 01:59:43.199 --> 01:59:47.079 of things. Like I said, tomorrow, it'll be uh be 1935 01:59:47.199 --> 01:59:49.920 back to normal unless something else breaks that we don't 1936 01:59:49.920 --> 01:59:56.119 know about, and then we'll talk about it. So what 1937 01:59:56.239 --> 01:59:58.640 to watch, where to watch it, how to watch it. 1938 02:00:00.960 --> 02:00:06.199 Soccer on TV today got a lot of college stuff obviously. 1939 02:00:06.800 --> 02:00:09.680 Nations League at ten o'clock on CBS Sports Network.

Apparently the Dominican Republic Dominica match is 1951 02:00:49.960 --> 02:00:54.600 going on right now. Let's see Antiga and Barbuda take 1952 02:00:54.680 --> 02:00:57.600 on Bermuda four. Barbados takes on the US Virgin Islands 1953 02:00:57.640 --> 02:01:01.800 Cubanicaragua four, Saint KITT's Nevis on the b and the 1954 02:01:01.840 --> 02:01:06.239 BBI at four thirty.
