We'll 8 00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:45.280 catch up with Tyler here coming up in just a 9 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:47.520 little bit here for hour number one where we'll go 10 00:00:47.560 --> 00:00:49.920 over at landy night at any leftovers that are there, 11 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:53.439 looking forward to Chicago, all the things which reminds me, 12 00:00:53.479 --> 00:00:55.560 I'm going to try and find some oppo research from 13 00:00:55.600 --> 00:01:00.520 our friends up in Chicago and find out if folks 14 00:01:01.159 --> 00:01:03.640 can come and join us to let everybody know what's 15 00:01:03.679 --> 00:01:10.519 going on for. 16 00:01:07.879 --> 00:01:09.879 The rest of the week. There we go. All right, 17 00:01:10.280 --> 00:01:12.120 So there's that. You've got. 18 00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:14.879 What happened in Open Cup last night, we'll hear from 19 00:01:14.879 --> 00:01:18.879 the head coach of Tacoma Defiance after they had a 20 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:22.400 lead to one eventually would leave, would end up leaving 21 00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.159 the tournament three too. It was chalk last night for 22 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.200 the endings. Even though it was difficult for some folks. 23 00:01:30.200 --> 00:01:32.040 In the beginnings, we'll go over all of that. We'll 24 00:01:32.079 --> 00:01:35.439 go over your juice boxes getting you ready for the 25 00:01:35.519 --> 00:01:38.079 matchups tonight in Open Cup, to get you through here 26 00:01:38.120 --> 00:01:40.480 in the round of thirty two. And so we'll play 27 00:01:40.519 --> 00:01:42.719 all of those juice boxes out and you'll hear from 28 00:01:42.760 --> 00:01:45.519 the head coach of Tacoma Defiance, who was not a 29 00:01:45.560 --> 00:01:48.680 fan of his referee assignment last night, and so apparently 30 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:51.239 there is some history there. We'll hear from here. Every 31 00:01:51.239 --> 00:01:55.159 ady is coming up. In our number two, we'll go 32 00:01:55.159 --> 00:01:57.079 over the rest of m lesson hour number two, we'll 33 00:01:57.079 --> 00:01:59.640 go over Champions League, probably with Tyler if he saw 34 00:01:59.640 --> 00:02:02.159 it yesterday. I don't know how many of you saw 35 00:02:02.239 --> 00:02:11.919 what went down yesterday the seven six match. Oh man, 36 00:02:11.960 --> 00:02:14.120 you just let you just run out of just you 37 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:16.159 run out of things to say, just throw your notes 38 00:02:16.199 --> 00:02:17.759 in the air, and you're just kind of like, yep, 39 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:22.400 seven six in the aggregate, absolutely crazy. It was too nil, 40 00:02:22.479 --> 00:02:24.919 then it wasn't. It was three to two, then it wasn't. 41 00:02:25.439 --> 00:02:30.039 Then it goes into extra time and then you end 42 00:02:30.120 --> 00:02:32.240 up with four to three, seven six in the aggregate. 43 00:02:32.280 --> 00:02:34.639 You gotta be blanking kidding me. So we'll go over 44 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:36.759 all the numbers in that and we'll go over the 45 00:02:36.840 --> 00:02:39.840 juice boxes for the matchup today and see what it 46 00:02:39.879 --> 00:02:42.840 looks like there. We'll also talk GHSA playoffs to get 47 00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:44.960 you ready for Soccer's In Session Playoff Daily Live come 48 00:02:45.039 --> 00:02:47.719 up at noon. At noon, we'll hear from Heather Richardson, 49 00:02:47.759 --> 00:02:49.919 the girls head coach at Social Circle, Meghan Hill, the 50 00:02:49.960 --> 00:02:51.840 head coach at Buford, Aaron Paul, the head coach at 51 00:02:51.879 --> 00:02:54.879 Morgan County. We'll go over all your brackets and set 52 00:02:54.960 --> 00:02:57.400 up your quarterfinals for you, and we'll set up the 53 00:02:57.400 --> 00:03:01.520 shows when it comes to Thursday Friday next week. 54 00:03:02.560 --> 00:03:03.879 In Session. 55 00:03:05.120 --> 00:03:10.159 Will probably be shorter in length setting up the finals 56 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:12.159 because I don't know how many coaches are going to 57 00:03:12.199 --> 00:03:16.000 be willing to visit on a match day, and especially 58 00:03:16.039 --> 00:03:18.159 with the schedules being what they are, they could be 59 00:03:18.199 --> 00:03:20.039 on buses, although it'd be cool to see you on 60 00:03:20.080 --> 00:03:23.400 a bus. But Soccer is in Session Playoff Daily Live 61 00:03:23.439 --> 00:03:26.719 presented by our friends at Kaiser Permanente. That will be 62 00:03:26.879 --> 00:03:29.719 once again through this week and then again next week, 63 00:03:29.719 --> 00:03:32.159 but I think will be shorter because of championships and 64 00:03:32.199 --> 00:03:35.439 we want you to attend championships. If you are near mckeecher, 65 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:38.439 and if you're traveling with your favorite club, if you're 66 00:03:38.520 --> 00:03:41.560 near Duluth and traveling with your favorite club, and at 67 00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:44.280 Mercer and traveling with your favorite club. So what we'll 68 00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:46.000 also do next week is we'll try and catch up 69 00:03:46.039 --> 00:03:48.360 with some of the programs that had great runs this season. 70 00:03:48.800 --> 00:03:51.319 Bring on Brian Lawson and Jeff Davis, catch up with 71 00:03:52.120 --> 00:03:55.879 coach Johnstone at Gilmer, and we'll work our way and 72 00:03:56.000 --> 00:03:59.039 navigate through all of what happened this season and kind 73 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:01.759 of put a bow on things when it comes to 74 00:04:02.520 --> 00:04:06.400 the schedule here with the GHSA, word kind of got 75 00:04:06.439 --> 00:04:09.680 out one of our venues. So tomorrow we're gonna be 76 00:04:09.680 --> 00:04:13.599 at Whitewater, and so it'll be Whitewater. It'll be girls 77 00:04:13.639 --> 00:04:18.079 tomorrow and so Whitewater and a Coney County will be 78 00:04:18.439 --> 00:04:24.160 at Whitewater. So it'll be me, Maddie, Jason, and Sophia Coopertino. 79 00:04:24.240 --> 00:04:26.480 We'll all be there. Bottom line is, we'll all be 80 00:04:26.560 --> 00:04:33.480 there unless there has been a switch or there has 81 00:04:33.519 --> 00:04:36.040 not been a switch in a double header venue possibility, 82 00:04:36.079 --> 00:04:38.240 So we're keeping an eye on that. I could be 83 00:04:38.319 --> 00:04:44.040 on SDH two with our main game on SDH with 84 00:04:44.160 --> 00:04:46.480 Whitewater in a Coney County. So we know Whitewater in 85 00:04:46.480 --> 00:04:48.120 a Coney County is going to be one of the 86 00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:50.759 games that's going to be on the network, that's going 87 00:04:50.839 --> 00:04:53.480 to be on tomorrow. We have a second venue that 88 00:04:53.519 --> 00:04:56.920 we're trying to figure out. Okay, when and where and 89 00:04:57.079 --> 00:04:59.800 when that's officially official, will let you know we're going 90 00:04:59.839 --> 00:05:02.199 to this particular venue. We just don't know the day, 91 00:05:02.920 --> 00:05:05.560 and I don't want to stray all of you and 92 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:07.319 sit there and say Okay, well we're gonna be here 93 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:09.879 and then not be So we're gonna be there, we 94 00:05:09.959 --> 00:05:14.040 just don't know the when venue number two. So we 95 00:05:14.079 --> 00:05:16.560 are going to have two matchups. It could be our 96 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:18.920 Friday matchups. It could be a double header on Friday 97 00:05:19.000 --> 00:05:22.360 with this particular club, or it could be trying to 98 00:05:22.360 --> 00:05:25.560 find a venue on Friday and SDH one and SDCH 99 00:05:25.600 --> 00:05:27.680 two up and running with me doing the. 100 00:05:27.639 --> 00:05:29.600 Matchup on SDH two on the venue. 101 00:05:29.639 --> 00:05:34.199 If this particular team cannot square away, a double header possibility. 102 00:05:34.240 --> 00:05:38.120 So that's what the plan is. Yes, we're at Whitewater 103 00:05:38.199 --> 00:05:41.240 on Thursday for the matchup against A Coney County. Yes, 104 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:43.800 we have a second venue locked in just trying to 105 00:05:43.800 --> 00:05:46.600 figure out when that second venue is going to have 106 00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:49.959 their match slash matches and it could be once again 107 00:05:50.000 --> 00:05:52.040 on SDH two on Thursday, or it could be our 108 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:54.439 Friday matches on the Motherships or still trying to figure 109 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:57.319 all that out. But Soccer's in Session Playoff Daily Live 110 00:05:57.519 --> 00:06:00.959 continues this week. We'll go through the Championship next week 111 00:06:02.279 --> 00:06:05.639 and then will like I said, it won't necessarily be 112 00:06:05.680 --> 00:06:08.600 an hour every day unless content dictates, and we have 113 00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:10.839 a bunch of coaches coming in, so it go as 114 00:06:10.920 --> 00:06:12.800 long as we can Monday through Friday next week with 115 00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.920 the Championships being next week, and we'll we'll set up 116 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:19.319 everything going on with the Championships in the GHSA. And 117 00:06:19.360 --> 00:06:22.240 thanks once again to the GHSA for being great partners 118 00:06:22.240 --> 00:06:26.040 with us and letting us do postseason matches all around 119 00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:27.879 the state of Georgia, and to the ads and all 120 00:06:27.879 --> 00:06:30.879 the coaches that have been great when it comes to 121 00:06:31.800 --> 00:06:33.720 letting us come out and hang out in your place. 122 00:06:34.120 --> 00:06:37.240 Like last night to give you an idea, Morning, Ricky, morning, Alex. 123 00:06:38.399 --> 00:06:41.000 Last night to give you an idea. We were in 124 00:06:41.120 --> 00:06:45.240 Dalton and if you missed the if you missed the 125 00:06:45.360 --> 00:06:50.720 Dalton pious match. It's available in archive so you can 126 00:06:50.759 --> 00:06:54.040 go back and listen to it. But it was it 127 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:57.439 was a solid crowd for a six thirty kick, so 128 00:06:57.480 --> 00:07:02.240 folks coming home from work stopping at Harmon Field and 129 00:07:02.240 --> 00:07:08.439 bill Chapel Stadium to watch Dalton take on Saint Pias 130 00:07:08.439 --> 00:07:10.439 and Saint Pias once again a blue blood number twenty 131 00:07:10.480 --> 00:07:15.399 six nationally and you know with Dalton nationally ranked as well. 132 00:07:15.879 --> 00:07:18.920 It was it was just slam bang soccer for eighty 133 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:20.600 minutes and it was really fun to be up there 134 00:07:20.600 --> 00:07:22.079 for that one. I think it was our fourth visit 135 00:07:22.120 --> 00:07:29.120 to Dalton this year. It was Johnson, Gainesville and Fort 136 00:07:29.240 --> 00:07:34.800 Payne i think, and it was Northwest Whitfield and it 137 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:38.399 was last night with Pious and we have been invited 138 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:45.000 back for the matchup against Westminster on Friday, so I mean, 139 00:07:45.040 --> 00:07:47.360 it's it's out there. But it has been a fantastic 140 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:51.160 run to see all of these teams come through. When 141 00:07:51.199 --> 00:07:53.399 you see a team like Dalton who is nationally ranked 142 00:07:53.560 --> 00:07:55.800 top five in the state of Georgia, top five nationally 143 00:07:55.920 --> 00:07:59.879 ranked regardless of classification. And Jason made the point last 144 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:02.360 night on the show on the broadcast where. 145 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:04.360 When you go. 146 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:09.120 And the food by the way, is fantastic and of 147 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:13.040 course you know me sitting there going ooh. And to 148 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:16.040 give you an idea, the crowd that was there to 149 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:21.639 watch the Dalton soccer match last night. At halftime, it 150 00:08:21.800 --> 00:08:24.160 I mean it was. It was back and forth and 151 00:08:25.000 --> 00:08:30.120 you had a tight match after forty minutes, so everybody 152 00:08:30.240 --> 00:08:38.639 goes to the eastern stands to get your street tacos 153 00:08:38.720 --> 00:08:42.000 and your elote and everything else for a halftime. The 154 00:08:42.039 --> 00:08:46.519 line for the tacos you would not have you know 155 00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:49.120 last time that Jason and Maddie were there. Maddie stood 156 00:08:49.120 --> 00:08:51.279 in line for tacos, didn't get back until halftime of 157 00:08:51.320 --> 00:08:55.480 the of the second match. So everyone's in line at 158 00:08:55.519 --> 00:08:59.279 halftime to try and get food. To give you an 159 00:08:59.320 --> 00:09:03.440 idea how tense the environment was. Once the second half started, 160 00:09:03.440 --> 00:09:06.879 the line disappeared, everybody went back to their seats for 161 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.440 the second half of the game. Joe Gonzalez, by the way, 162 00:09:09.440 --> 00:09:12.000 player the Match presented by our friends at Oglethorpe University, 163 00:09:12.320 --> 00:09:17.919 for a ridiculous free kick where he doesn't wait for 164 00:09:17.960 --> 00:09:20.840 the wall to set up, He doesn't wait for everything 165 00:09:20.879 --> 00:09:23.600 to be locked in place. He just goes ahead and 166 00:09:23.639 --> 00:09:26.600 fires and goes far post upper ninety over the keeper, 167 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:30.519 which was insane, and then Gonzales from the spot for 168 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:33.279 the two goals for Saint Pias and for Dalton, and 169 00:09:33.279 --> 00:09:35.879 the two one went over Saint Pias. But once again 170 00:09:35.919 --> 00:09:38.480 you tip your hat to Dalton. Fantastic environment. If you've 171 00:09:38.480 --> 00:09:40.919 never been, go to Harmon Field, if you're in that 172 00:09:40.960 --> 00:09:43.799 part of the state, if you're just passing through, if 173 00:09:43.840 --> 00:09:47.480 you don't have anything to do on a football match day, 174 00:09:47.879 --> 00:09:51.320 go to Dalton. Fantastic environment, especially in the rivalry games 175 00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:53.559 that are up there in northwest Georgia. But two to 176 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.879 one went for Dalton, they advance. And once again thanks 177 00:09:56.879 --> 00:09:58.879 to everybody up there at Dalton, Matt Chiefs, a head coach, 178 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.840 and everybody in the athletic administration for letting us come 179 00:10:01.840 --> 00:10:06.759 and party and hanging out there.

Because I was I 202 00:11:06.240 --> 00:11:09.320 was somewhat filibustering, but it was an opening kickoff situation, 203 00:11:09.440 --> 00:11:11.080 so I felt compelled that it had to be it 204 00:11:11.120 --> 00:11:13.559 had to be talked about.

And then the balls kicked 246 00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:19.240 off and the entire tempo and vibe just changed, like 247 00:13:19.360 --> 00:13:23.600 almost instantly. It was wild. And I think at that moment, 248 00:13:24.320 --> 00:13:25.679 at least for me, and we were up in the 249 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:28.840 press box, me and like all the SNS guys and everybody, 250 00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.000 we were talking as it was going on, and we 251 00:13:31.000 --> 00:13:34.600 were like, if they don't fix this, this kind of 252 00:13:34.639 --> 00:13:37.720 weird tempo thing they have going on right now, this 253 00:13:37.799 --> 00:13:39.559 is not going to be a one Niel lead for long. 254 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:42.639 This is not this is not sustainable. And so I 255 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:44.360 don't think there was ever really that moment of like 256 00:13:46.200 --> 00:13:50.519 just straight up, you know, hope and then you get 257 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:52.480 punched in the face. It was almost like, oh, it's 258 00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.279 it's gonna happen. It's gonna happen any minute now. 259 00:13:55.440 --> 00:13:56.679 They're waiting for the other shoe. 260 00:13:56.720 --> 00:14:01.039 Basically, yeah, exactly. I mean, it's one thing to you know, 261 00:14:01.039 --> 00:14:03.440 score a goal. Because I've gone on a couple of 262 00:14:03.519 --> 00:14:06.960 rants about this, but it's one thing to score a goal, 263 00:14:07.039 --> 00:14:10.519 and like, you know, then you have your game plan right, 264 00:14:11.399 --> 00:14:13.399 you control the tempo and the and the easiest way 265 00:14:13.399 --> 00:14:16.000 to control the tempo in a soccer game is a 266 00:14:17.440 --> 00:14:21.200 when you're up a goal and b when you're at home, 267 00:14:21.679 --> 00:14:24.120 both of which Atlanta had going for them on Saturday. 268 00:14:25.039 --> 00:14:30.000 And instead of you know, taking the advantage and making 269 00:14:30.080 --> 00:14:32.960 Nashville either chase the game and tire out Handy Mooktar 270 00:14:33.000 --> 00:14:36.639 and Sam Surridge and their midfield and like, you know, 271 00:14:36.799 --> 00:14:39.159 just possess the ball, pass it around them, wait for 272 00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:43.120 your opportunity then hit. They didn't do that, and then 273 00:14:43.200 --> 00:14:48.200 they also never really did anything else. It's almost like 274 00:14:48.240 --> 00:14:50.080 they were stuck in between like two minds of like, 275 00:14:51.279 --> 00:14:53.519 we have the lead and we're not quite sure what 276 00:14:53.559 --> 00:14:55.919 we want to do with it at this point. And 277 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.320 because of that, you kind of reverted to like on goalkicks, 278 00:15:01.600 --> 00:15:04.679 you're sending the ball along, you're putting it into the 279 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:07.399 proverbial mixer, hoping you come away with it, and you 280 00:15:07.519 --> 00:15:10.679 never came away with it, and so you're constantly giving 281 00:15:10.720 --> 00:15:12.840 possession back to Nashville. And then it was just a 282 00:15:12.879 --> 00:15:15.399 matter of time before they were able to to Snager 283 00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.399 another goal. So I just thought that that was my 284 00:15:18.440 --> 00:15:20.759 biggest issue. Again. I know people were like up and 285 00:15:20.799 --> 00:15:24.159 down about the formation and blah blah blah. My biggest issue 286 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:26.399 was the lack of the ability to control the tempo. 287 00:15:26.159 --> 00:15:26.679 In this game. 288 00:15:26.759 --> 00:15:28.200 And it just seemed like it was something that they 289 00:15:28.200 --> 00:15:31.320 weren't prepared for. And I'm not saying they weren't, but 290 00:15:31.399 --> 00:15:32.080 that's the way that. 291 00:15:32.080 --> 00:15:36.279 It looked well and you had I think Ronnie after 292 00:15:36.320 --> 00:15:39.240 the match was discussing the notion of he didn't know 293 00:15:39.279 --> 00:15:42.159 if it was a physical or emotional or mental two 294 00:15:42.200 --> 00:15:44.159 of those three, I can't remember which two they were, 295 00:15:44.519 --> 00:15:44.679 but I. 296 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:50.120 Said, it's not motivation, yeah, but he's not sure if 297 00:15:50.159 --> 00:15:51.559 it's mental or physical. 298 00:15:51.759 --> 00:15:55.840 Yeah, so you know when mental and physical. And we 299 00:15:56.159 --> 00:15:58.639 got into that early in the week here on the show, 300 00:15:58.799 --> 00:16:03.840 where it's the idea of to your point, you know, 301 00:16:04.320 --> 00:16:09.159 you don't want to compound a mistake, but because you're 302 00:16:09.159 --> 00:16:12.080 thinking about not making a mistake or compounding a mistake, 303 00:16:12.159 --> 00:16:13.679 you end up compounding the mistake. 304 00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:14.759 If that makes any sense. 305 00:16:15.320 --> 00:16:19.480 Yeah, yeah, because it's like, you know, one of the 306 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:24.200 things that has been very, very good advice for me 307 00:16:25.080 --> 00:16:28.679 in certain career paths in my. 308 00:16:28.679 --> 00:16:29.600 Life was. 309 00:16:31.879 --> 00:16:36.799 You make a decision and stick to it. And to 310 00:16:36.879 --> 00:16:39.639 your point, like it kind of felt like you you're 311 00:16:39.679 --> 00:16:45.759 so concerned about making the mistake that you revert and 312 00:16:45.799 --> 00:16:48.480 you play it too safe, and then the mistake happens anyway, 313 00:16:48.519 --> 00:16:50.480 And when you're playing it too safe, if you do 314 00:16:50.519 --> 00:16:53.000 then make a mistake, you usually make it in a 315 00:16:53.000 --> 00:16:58.360 worse position. And yeah, I mean, it just it felt 316 00:16:58.360 --> 00:17:01.360 like the decision was never really made of what they 317 00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:03.320 wanted to do. And I kind of I kind of 318 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:06.720 likened it back to the Philly match where you know, 319 00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.839 you went up a man yeah for a decent amount 320 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:12.119 of time, Yeah, and it and it looked like you 321 00:17:12.200 --> 00:17:15.079 had never done you know, red card like eleven v. 322 00:17:15.200 --> 00:17:17.759 Ten drills, like you just didn't really know what to 323 00:17:17.799 --> 00:17:19.720 do with the man advantage. And that's kind of the 324 00:17:19.720 --> 00:17:20.079 way this. 325 00:17:20.079 --> 00:17:25.079 Felt if you're taking the Philly example, because if there 326 00:17:25.200 --> 00:17:28.519 is a ten man team that is pressing, and if 327 00:17:28.559 --> 00:17:31.079 you ask Nick this, Nick will tell you as a 328 00:17:31.119 --> 00:17:32.480 master of the follower of. 329 00:17:32.400 --> 00:17:34.160 The press, as he said. 330 00:17:35.759 --> 00:17:39.599 That if you are the team with the man advantage 331 00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:42.240 and the team that is a man down is still pressing, 332 00:17:42.799 --> 00:17:45.519 that means that someone on your end of the man 333 00:17:45.559 --> 00:17:49.400 advantage is not doing what they're supposed to be doing, yeah, 334 00:17:49.440 --> 00:17:52.640 and not taking care of the advantage as best as 335 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.039 you can to get around the press, to force that 336 00:17:55.119 --> 00:17:59.240 press to keep from happening. And so if if you're 337 00:17:59.759 --> 00:18:02.039 too afraid to make a mistake and if you're too 338 00:18:02.039 --> 00:18:05.680 afraid to process things and you know you don't want 339 00:18:05.720 --> 00:18:07.759 to compound it, and you end up compounding it and 340 00:18:07.799 --> 00:18:11.240 then it's snowballs and all these kinds of things. That's 341 00:18:11.319 --> 00:18:15.240 where I think that you see what the action on 342 00:18:15.279 --> 00:18:17.920 the pitch occasionally in this in this run of form 343 00:18:18.039 --> 00:18:21.480 where it's like you know they're talented, You know these 344 00:18:21.480 --> 00:18:25.359 individuals are talented. You have seen it before, regardless of competition, 345 00:18:25.519 --> 00:18:29.519 you know what these individuals are capable of. But then 346 00:18:30.440 --> 00:18:34.000 if not wanting to let down your new boss, not 347 00:18:34.079 --> 00:18:36.480 wanting to let down your new teammates, not wanting to 348 00:18:36.559 --> 00:18:39.599 let down your current teammates, if you're in a position 349 00:18:39.599 --> 00:18:43.200 where you've been there before, and then everyone starts to 350 00:18:43.200 --> 00:18:45.720 sit there and look at Okay, well, if it's not this, 351 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.720 then it's this. If it's not this person, it's this person, 352 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:50.640 And then all the theories go out into the ether 353 00:18:50.720 --> 00:18:52.920 and you're sitting there and saying, okay, well, what if 354 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:54.400 you do this? What if you do this? And what 355 00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:56.319 if you do this? And then if you go away 356 00:18:56.319 --> 00:19:00.440 from your DNA, then you risk the idea of everything 357 00:19:00.480 --> 00:19:03.799 that you've been teaching up to this point, basically going 358 00:19:03.839 --> 00:19:06.160 by the wayside and then having to reconstruct, and you 359 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:09.079 end up with it. Literally, there are so many if 360 00:19:09.240 --> 00:19:13.599 thens in this entire season to this point, it's almost 361 00:19:13.599 --> 00:19:15.440 like you run out of legal pad trying to figure 362 00:19:15.480 --> 00:19:17.559 out all the if thens that it Land United has 363 00:19:17.559 --> 00:19:18.559 had to go through this year. 364 00:19:19.640 --> 00:19:23.359 Yeah, and it's like if if you're familiar with what 365 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:25.559 it is that you want to do in any particular situation, 366 00:19:26.279 --> 00:19:28.920 right like you've trained it, but you're not obsessing over it. Yeah, 367 00:19:29.279 --> 00:19:33.880 then it's easy for the coach to, you know, whatever 368 00:19:33.920 --> 00:19:37.279 direction you're going, pull Brooks or Pedro to the side 369 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:40.319 and say, hey, let them know this is what we're 370 00:19:40.319 --> 00:19:42.640 doing now, you know, and then spread that out across 371 00:19:42.640 --> 00:19:44.880 the eleven that are on the pitch and then you 372 00:19:44.920 --> 00:19:47.359 can kind of you know, like in this particular instance, 373 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:49.759 it would have been, I mean, after the goal scored, 374 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:52.319 if if you're not confident that you're going to go 375 00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:57.440 get a second, then that should have been communicated to 376 00:19:57.960 --> 00:20:00.000 Brad because it all starts with Brad as far as 377 00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:01.720 controlling the tempo, it all starts with him, and you 378 00:20:01.759 --> 00:20:04.759 got to work your way up, you know, to the center, backs, 379 00:20:05.200 --> 00:20:09.640 the midfield, everything else. But you have to know at 380 00:20:09.680 --> 00:20:11.440 least be familiar with what it is that you want 381 00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:14.640 to do. And it should just require the coach saying, hey, 382 00:20:14.680 --> 00:20:17.680 this is we're running this play, not that play from 383 00:20:17.720 --> 00:20:20.440 here on out. And it never really felt like that. 384 00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:22.519 It doesn't feel like that a lot of times, and 385 00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:27.079 you know, to play Devil's advocate, I think Atlanta has 386 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:29.160 been in such a position where they are just trying 387 00:20:29.160 --> 00:20:33.960 to get themselves right like internally whatever that may be. 388 00:20:34.119 --> 00:20:36.400 Like they're just trying to, you know, look like a 389 00:20:36.400 --> 00:20:39.359 cohesive unit out on the field that I don't know 390 00:20:39.400 --> 00:20:41.400 that they've had time to really focus on the fine 391 00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:44.359 details like you know, yeah, how to control the tip 392 00:20:44.440 --> 00:20:46.440 of a game, or what to do if you go 393 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:47.720 up a man, or what to do if you go. 394 00:20:47.680 --> 00:20:50.240 Down a man for that matter, basics first. 395 00:20:50.720 --> 00:20:52.839 Yeah, yeah, I mean, and that's the thing. They're struggling 396 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:54.880 so much with the basics and the fundamentals, just trying 397 00:20:54.920 --> 00:20:56.680 to get everything right that I don't know they've had 398 00:20:56.680 --> 00:20:57.839 time to do all the other stuff. 399 00:20:58.799 --> 00:21:02.759 And you know, then you had the lineup change where 400 00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:05.640 uh miran Chuk is playing a little deeper in the 401 00:21:05.640 --> 00:21:07.920 four two three one, you had Jay on the left. 402 00:21:08.640 --> 00:21:12.200 Uh So you had a couple of tweaks. 403 00:21:11.839 --> 00:21:14.480 In there with with bart on the bench, and so 404 00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:16.759 you had that to gauge as a part of this 405 00:21:16.880 --> 00:21:19.880 as well. Uh not that playing on the playing on 406 00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:22.599 the left wing is four into j but you know 407 00:21:22.640 --> 00:21:26.480 he's done it before and you look at that. But 408 00:21:26.599 --> 00:21:28.759 once again, we always sit there and say, just because 409 00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:31.599 you see a graphic from OPTA or from television, does 410 00:21:31.640 --> 00:21:33.400 not mean that that is what is going to be 411 00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:35.799 going on once the ball is kicked and a whistle 412 00:21:35.880 --> 00:21:39.240 is born. So you know Jay drifts back occasionally, and 413 00:21:39.359 --> 00:21:41.599 Ronnie mentioned it being a four four two at times 414 00:21:42.079 --> 00:21:44.440 where you know Jay is helping to support in the 415 00:21:44.480 --> 00:21:47.240 midfield and all these kinds of things. So what our 416 00:21:47.319 --> 00:21:50.799 cavea our weekly caveat. Just because you see a graphic 417 00:21:50.880 --> 00:21:52.799 does not mean that that is how things are going 418 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:55.599 to be locked in stone for an entire match. But 419 00:21:55.920 --> 00:21:58.359 you had Jay on the left again, you had Medanjuk 420 00:21:58.359 --> 00:22:00.319 playing deeper as a bit of his point guard to 421 00:22:00.319 --> 00:22:03.319 try and help out defensively. But when you do that, 422 00:22:03.480 --> 00:22:07.000 you saw the numbers that Alexi had defensively. That takes 423 00:22:07.039 --> 00:22:09.440 away from what you want him to do offensively is 424 00:22:09.480 --> 00:22:11.440 your point guard and so you're kind of in that 425 00:22:11.559 --> 00:22:14.000 catch twenty two a little bit with Alexi as a 426 00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:14.880 part of this as well. 427 00:22:15.839 --> 00:22:19.799 Yeah, and that's where I think Click is for all 428 00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:22.200 that that he does well, because I do like, I 429 00:22:22.759 --> 00:22:25.279 love how he does when he's on the field. He 430 00:22:25.319 --> 00:22:27.079 does bring a little bit of that you know, that passion, 431 00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:29.880 that energy. You know he pulls somebody down and then 432 00:22:29.960 --> 00:22:32.759 kind of slowly walks by them, staring at them, you know, 433 00:22:32.839 --> 00:22:34.839 mumbling whatever it is that he's mumbling like that, I 434 00:22:34.920 --> 00:22:39.880 want that however, he However, I think with if you're 435 00:22:39.880 --> 00:22:42.319 going to play Alexi at the eight, which I think 436 00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:45.079 you should, I think, I mean, this is not new, 437 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:48.519 like we've beat this horse a million times. But if 438 00:22:48.519 --> 00:22:50.839 you're going to do that, then Jay, who is your 439 00:22:50.920 --> 00:22:54.359 fastest midfielder And according to quite a few people whose 440 00:22:54.440 --> 00:22:59.480 name is rhyme with Max Decardi, he is the highest 441 00:22:59.559 --> 00:23:03.119 ceiling player right now on the team. But he provides 442 00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:06.799 speed and legs and if you play him as that 443 00:23:06.880 --> 00:23:09.799 other midfielder, then he can help you clean up a lot. 444 00:23:09.839 --> 00:23:11.599 Because there was a moment where in the first half 445 00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.119 where Klick was having a track back to help the 446 00:23:15.119 --> 00:23:19.039 center backs yea, and he was struggling. He was very 447 00:23:19.119 --> 00:23:21.519 much struggling. Because I watched him specifically, I was like, 448 00:23:21.519 --> 00:23:23.160 how is he gonna do when it comes time to 449 00:23:23.240 --> 00:23:25.920 actually you know, like really, I mean, you got a 450 00:23:25.960 --> 00:23:28.480 full on sprint, you know, and he did, he couldn't 451 00:23:28.559 --> 00:23:31.240 quite pull it off, And so I think you're gonna 452 00:23:31.240 --> 00:23:34.720 do this. You do have to solve your left winger problem. 453 00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:38.799 Your left winger is and has been really the biggest 454 00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:41.079 issue I know, because we talk about the number ten, 455 00:23:41.119 --> 00:23:43.279 but you have number tens. You're just trying to figure 456 00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:46.720 out how best to use them. But you don't have 457 00:23:46.799 --> 00:23:48.759 a left winger that you can count on. So I 458 00:23:48.759 --> 00:23:54.200 mean my opinion is put Luke out on that left 459 00:23:54.240 --> 00:23:57.079 side and just see what he does, and put Jay 460 00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:00.680 back in the middle behind Alexi, and then keep everything 461 00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:01.720 else more or less the same. 462 00:24:02.519 --> 00:24:09.400 Well, and there you have part of the of an idea, 463 00:24:09.799 --> 00:24:15.079 whether it's Luke, whether it's Musquitta, whether it is you know, 464 00:24:15.279 --> 00:24:18.400 Saba on the left hand side, inverting to his stronger 465 00:24:18.440 --> 00:24:22.319 you know, inverting to his stronger foot. You know, do 466 00:24:22.359 --> 00:24:26.279 you do you run someone with the experience of you know, 467 00:24:26.640 --> 00:24:31.480 player A and then thirty minutes to go? Then do 468 00:24:31.559 --> 00:24:33.799 you bring in fast Eddie, do you bring in cool hand? 469 00:24:33.920 --> 00:24:34.960 Luke? Do you have them? 470 00:24:35.119 --> 00:24:38.400 You know, run at tired legs for thirty minutes? And 471 00:24:38.480 --> 00:24:41.200 do you sit there? And you add Luke and his 472 00:24:41.319 --> 00:24:46.160 chirping skills. I swear I would guarantee that Luke Brennan 473 00:24:46.240 --> 00:24:48.839 probably learned from Larry Burden. He'd probably sit there and go, 474 00:24:48.839 --> 00:24:53.279 who's Larry Bird? But I think that his chirping skills 475 00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:56.839 running at folks for thirty minutes. I think that it 476 00:24:56.920 --> 00:25:00.279 is is something very very special and from for me. 477 00:25:00.519 --> 00:25:04.359 That's where if they show themselves in practice during the week, 478 00:25:04.400 --> 00:25:07.079 I could see, you know, in a starting situation, but 479 00:25:07.240 --> 00:25:10.359 until that moment happens. Have whomever on the left hand 480 00:25:10.359 --> 00:25:12.440 side at your left wing, have them run for sixty 481 00:25:12.640 --> 00:25:15.039 and then have Musketa come in, have Luke come in, 482 00:25:15.319 --> 00:25:17.480 you know, and be those individuals on the wings that 483 00:25:17.599 --> 00:25:19.559 can just add that extra bit of speed for that 484 00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:22.519 final thirty minutes with those younger legs that you mentioned 485 00:25:22.519 --> 00:25:27.000 and click to your point there, I don't know where 486 00:25:27.039 --> 00:25:29.240 we know he is when it comes to being ninety 487 00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:29.960 minutes fit. 488 00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:30.400 Yeah. 489 00:25:30.720 --> 00:25:34.920 Remember he's still for everybody who might not have recall 490 00:25:35.119 --> 00:25:37.559 totally on this, he's still coming back from injury. I 491 00:25:37.559 --> 00:25:39.839 don't know where he is in that playing ninety minutes. 492 00:25:39.960 --> 00:25:41.559 If you ask him, he'll sit there and say, yeah, 493 00:25:41.559 --> 00:25:44.079 I'm ninety minutes fit and I'll want to play, which 494 00:25:44.119 --> 00:25:46.799 is what the answer you want to hear. But physically 495 00:25:46.839 --> 00:25:48.720 we don't know where he is in it. Ninety minutes 496 00:25:48.759 --> 00:25:49.400 fit bit. 497 00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:53.680 Yeah, and then that's where I think again, depending on 498 00:25:53.720 --> 00:25:56.240 the way the game's going, I think click would be 499 00:25:56.240 --> 00:25:59.359 that better option to come off the bench late, right, 500 00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:02.559 And because then you're you're you have tired legs around 501 00:26:02.559 --> 00:26:04.440 you as well, so even if your speed's maybe not 502 00:26:04.559 --> 00:26:07.960 up to snuff and everything else, you can you can 503 00:26:08.000 --> 00:26:09.960 maybe handle things a little bit better than you could 504 00:26:09.960 --> 00:26:13.359 in the first thirty And as far as like you know, 505 00:26:13.440 --> 00:26:17.480 Luke and Edwin on the left, I mean, I think 506 00:26:18.279 --> 00:26:23.279 when the team finds whatever starter left winger that they want, 507 00:26:24.039 --> 00:26:25.880 then yeah, I mean, because then you have options. You 508 00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:29.480 can use Luke, you can use ed one. But in 509 00:26:29.519 --> 00:26:32.759 the meantime, like if you unless you keep putting j 510 00:26:32.880 --> 00:26:34.400 over there, which I don't think you need to do, 511 00:26:34.440 --> 00:26:36.799 only because I think he's going to be more effective 512 00:26:36.880 --> 00:26:39.759 fully as a midfielder anyway, though he did. He did 513 00:26:39.799 --> 00:26:41.880 look good actually for the for the majority of this 514 00:26:41.960 --> 00:26:46.240 match on the left. But I think he just you 515 00:26:46.279 --> 00:26:49.000 have to pick which one you think is going to 516 00:26:49.039 --> 00:26:52.920 get out there and cause as much chaos in the beginning, Yeah, 517 00:26:52.960 --> 00:26:55.400 and then bring on the other one. And I think 518 00:26:55.640 --> 00:27:00.519 to me, every time Edwin must Scare has been successful, 519 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:02.519 it's been coming on as a sub late in the match. 520 00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:05.440 So I think you start with Luke, And yeah, like 521 00:27:05.480 --> 00:27:08.000 you said, let him run his mouth and piss everybody 522 00:27:08.039 --> 00:27:11.160 off for sixty minutes and then bring in Edwin to 523 00:27:11.240 --> 00:27:14.119 just run at the tired legs and just see what happens. 524 00:27:14.519 --> 00:27:19.680 What else have you been staring at, analyzing, furrowing your brow, 525 00:27:19.799 --> 00:27:23.240 rubbing your beard over when it comes to Atlanta United 526 00:27:23.240 --> 00:27:25.480 as they get ready for Chicago. And to your point 527 00:27:25.519 --> 00:27:29.559 once again, I think that if you look at the 528 00:27:30.160 --> 00:27:32.839 if you look at the individuals available and the formation 529 00:27:32.960 --> 00:27:38.200 that you're going to be trotting out against Chicago in 530 00:27:38.279 --> 00:27:43.119 this new example, then you know, I think that legitimately, 531 00:27:43.200 --> 00:27:45.880 right now it's going to be case by case basis. Okay, 532 00:27:45.880 --> 00:27:48.920 what does Chicago bring to the table and how can 533 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.000 we combat it? Is to figure out who it might 534 00:27:51.039 --> 00:27:53.039 be on the left wing until you come up with 535 00:27:53.079 --> 00:27:56.400 a someone or a combination that gives you that consistent 536 00:27:56.480 --> 00:27:57.480 play that you're looking for. 537 00:27:57.519 --> 00:27:59.359 I think right now you're at case by case basis. 538 00:28:00.119 --> 00:28:01.839 Yeah, I agree. I mean I think you still need 539 00:28:01.920 --> 00:28:03.680 if you're going to do something similar, I think you 540 00:28:03.720 --> 00:28:07.359 do need to more or less run out what you 541 00:28:07.400 --> 00:28:11.000 did Saturday with the changes that I mentioned. I mean, 542 00:28:11.000 --> 00:28:13.359 that's what I would prefer I still think you got 543 00:28:13.359 --> 00:28:17.559 more out of Miguel at the ten because you know, 544 00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:19.440 and I know, people are going to look at the numbers, 545 00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:23.839 and y'all know, like I look at soccer very much 546 00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:26.279 like there's an eye test and there's a number test. Yeah, 547 00:28:26.279 --> 00:28:29.640 you got to look at both. And when the first 548 00:28:29.640 --> 00:28:33.200 twenty twenty five minutes, Miggie was taking guys on, he 549 00:28:33.319 --> 00:28:36.240 was progressing the ball, he was getting into the final third, 550 00:28:37.920 --> 00:28:39.440 he was doing all the things that you want out 551 00:28:39.440 --> 00:28:42.079 of a direct number ten. And people are going to 552 00:28:42.119 --> 00:28:44.160 go back to the well, he didn't create any chances, No, 553 00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:46.359 but he he scored a goal, first of all. But 554 00:28:46.400 --> 00:28:50.480 he's progressing the ball, He's getting the ball into that 555 00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:52.160 final third where you can then do something with it, 556 00:28:52.200 --> 00:28:57.559 and you had things happening. Now, why in the world 557 00:28:57.599 --> 00:29:01.200 the team kind of completely change tempo after that goal. 558 00:29:01.240 --> 00:29:02.079 I have no idea. 559 00:29:02.559 --> 00:29:03.559 I mean I've already. 560 00:29:03.279 --> 00:29:07.319 Ranked, but is it But is it that idea of Okay, 561 00:29:08.480 --> 00:29:10.680 you're trying to be too careful, You're trying not to 562 00:29:10.720 --> 00:29:11.359 make a mistake. 563 00:29:11.440 --> 00:29:13.359 Are you trying to hang on to something? 564 00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:16.920 You know that the more you hang on to it, 565 00:29:17.400 --> 00:29:21.720 the more dangerous it becomes, because that goal for Nashville. 566 00:29:22.680 --> 00:29:25.440 You knew it was coming because of and we went 567 00:29:25.440 --> 00:29:29.559 through the numbers of possession. Uh in the last sixty minutes. 568 00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:31.640 I want to say where Nashville I think out possessed 569 00:29:31.640 --> 00:29:34.440 Atlanta three to one when it comes to the time 570 00:29:34.480 --> 00:29:35.000 on the pitch. 571 00:29:35.079 --> 00:29:36.759 But if you if. 572 00:29:36.640 --> 00:29:39.240 And and like I said, I you know, Monday, I 573 00:29:39.359 --> 00:29:45.240 kind of turned into almost an analytic looking looking at 574 00:29:45.279 --> 00:29:47.839 it through the the emotion of it all, not not numbers, 575 00:29:48.119 --> 00:29:50.440 but looking at it through the analytics of the situation. 576 00:29:50.720 --> 00:29:54.640 Where getting back to our original points about not wanting 577 00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:56.759 to make a mistake. Okay, so you have a lead, 578 00:29:57.359 --> 00:29:59.559 all right, so you want to do what you can 579 00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:03.039 to hang onto that lead. There have been managers here 580 00:30:03.079 --> 00:30:06.799 in the past whose philosophy has been what's the best 581 00:30:06.799 --> 00:30:08.799 thing when you've got a one goal lead, that's two 582 00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:12.720 goal lead, and so continuing that mindset of push push push, 583 00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:16.279 right now, if you've got a one goal lead, I 584 00:30:16.319 --> 00:30:18.920 think that there are you know, guys out there that 585 00:30:19.000 --> 00:30:21.359 are trying to hang onto that one goal lead instead 586 00:30:21.359 --> 00:30:23.960 of push, push, push, and chase after that second because 587 00:30:24.000 --> 00:30:26.000 they don't want to make a mistake to give up 588 00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:29.799 the one goal lead and so I said, is is 589 00:30:29.839 --> 00:30:34.880 this is this analysis that I'm coming through because it's 590 00:30:34.920 --> 00:30:37.279 almost like a defensive driving course for me, because I 591 00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:39.319 admitted on Monday, I said, look, I spent two years 592 00:30:39.319 --> 00:30:44.119 in therapy and so for me having that now gives 593 00:30:44.160 --> 00:30:46.319 me the chance to be almost like a defensive driving 594 00:30:46.319 --> 00:30:48.680 course and thinking where the other person is coming from 595 00:30:49.200 --> 00:30:52.160 coming forward. And so I was looking at it from 596 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:55.839 the perspective like this. If you if you've got that lead, 597 00:30:57.000 --> 00:30:59.559 then you don't want to make a mistake because you 598 00:30:59.559 --> 00:31:02.319 don't want to let down those around you because you've 599 00:31:02.319 --> 00:31:05.039 gotten to this point first time in three hundred and 600 00:31:05.079 --> 00:31:07.720 seventy minutes I think that you've scored something up three 601 00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:10.319 seventy two I think is the number. So you don't 602 00:31:10.319 --> 00:31:13.480 want to let those around you down. So you're gonna 603 00:31:13.519 --> 00:31:17.559 try and hang on to what you've got and not 604 00:31:18.000 --> 00:31:22.839 put yourself in a situation where you contribute to possibly 605 00:31:22.880 --> 00:31:26.680 giving up that equalizer or get contributing to a moment 606 00:31:26.680 --> 00:31:29.400 that eventually leads to that goal. But when you've got 607 00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:32.839 that one goal lead, and the more that you try 608 00:31:32.839 --> 00:31:34.680 and just to hang on and hang on and hang 609 00:31:34.720 --> 00:31:36.960 on at the edge of the cliff, like you're you know, 610 00:31:37.319 --> 00:31:40.960 you know Wiley E. Coyote, Maybe you know there's sooner 611 00:31:41.079 --> 00:31:44.680 or later the weight of being hanging on to the 612 00:31:44.799 --> 00:31:48.240 edge of that cliff. Roadrunner hops onto the the edge 613 00:31:48.279 --> 00:31:50.119 of the cliff and you see the split and then 614 00:31:50.200 --> 00:31:52.079 you know the rock and everything happens that we've always 615 00:31:52.079 --> 00:31:55.440 seen in the cartoons. You knew that that second goal 616 00:31:55.559 --> 00:31:58.319 was coming because of the possession numbers the equalizer. I mean, 617 00:31:58.759 --> 00:32:01.279 you knew the equalizer was gonna becoming eventually, you didn't 618 00:32:01.279 --> 00:32:04.200 know when because of the possession numbers and because of 619 00:32:04.240 --> 00:32:06.400 the pressure that Nashville was putting up and putting up 620 00:32:06.440 --> 00:32:08.960 and putting up. And I think it contributes back to 621 00:32:09.000 --> 00:32:13.480 the idea of you're afraid. You're afraid of making that 622 00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:17.880 mistake that contributes to the equalizer. But because you were 623 00:32:17.920 --> 00:32:22.400 hanging on it created the opportunity for the equalizer because 624 00:32:22.400 --> 00:32:24.519 of what you weren't doing as opposed to what you 625 00:32:24.640 --> 00:32:26.519 know you can do. Like I said, is that does 626 00:32:26.559 --> 00:32:29.160 that philosophy philosophizing make any sense at all? 627 00:32:29.319 --> 00:32:31.720 Yeah? And I think it kind of ties into kind 628 00:32:31.759 --> 00:32:35.440 of what I was saying earlier, where you have to 629 00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:38.119 have a plan and like as a team as eleven 630 00:32:38.160 --> 00:32:42.200 guys in the field, you have to whatever your plan is, 631 00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:45.000 do it, like stick to the plan. Yeah, and it 632 00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:47.000 never really felt like they all were on the same 633 00:32:47.039 --> 00:32:49.319 page with what they wanted to do. And because I 634 00:32:49.319 --> 00:32:51.079 see in the chat everybody's saying, like, you know, there 635 00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:56.279 are all really good points. Atlanta has never been a 636 00:32:56.359 --> 00:32:59.480 part of the bust team. No, but that acted like 637 00:32:59.519 --> 00:33:02.160 some of them acted like they were parking the bus, 638 00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:05.400 and then other ones were still acting like they wanted 639 00:33:05.440 --> 00:33:09.680 to go play. Yeah, and then halftime came around and 640 00:33:09.720 --> 00:33:11.319 it kind of it just got worse from that point. 641 00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:14.680 It really felt like I could give some leeway after 642 00:33:14.680 --> 00:33:19.559 the first goal, where you know, maybe there's some communication issues, 643 00:33:19.559 --> 00:33:21.519 not everybody's on the same page. It really felt like 644 00:33:21.559 --> 00:33:23.480 Brad was just trying to slow the game down at 645 00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:23.880 that point. 646 00:33:24.119 --> 00:33:26.480 Also, and at the tail end of the first half 647 00:33:26.519 --> 00:33:30.640 where Click gets the yellow yea and the administration of 648 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:33.599 those kinds of fouls for the remainder of the match 649 00:33:33.759 --> 00:33:35.079 just seemed to be optional. 650 00:33:35.440 --> 00:33:37.720 Yeah, forget the handball. 651 00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:41.519 Yeah, so you know, but you've got you're trying to 652 00:33:41.559 --> 00:33:43.519 get to the half at that point. Yeah, it's like, 653 00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:46.240 all right, you've got the lead, click gets the yellow. 654 00:33:46.839 --> 00:33:49.039 I'm looking at it as get to the half, get 655 00:33:49.119 --> 00:33:51.440 in the locker room, do what you gotta do. Yep, 656 00:33:51.720 --> 00:33:55.359 pun it, punt it up to you in the press box. 657 00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:59.400 Just get to the half, settle down, and then go 658 00:33:59.440 --> 00:34:01.319 out there for the second forty five. That's how I 659 00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:03.559 was looking at it, in getting to the forty five 660 00:34:03.599 --> 00:34:05.519 and treating it. Okay, you got the goal, you got 661 00:34:05.519 --> 00:34:08.280 the lead, and then you had maybe another ten minutes 662 00:34:08.559 --> 00:34:12.840 of navigating control and then it was Nashville National Nashville. 663 00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:14.519 Then you get the yellow, and I'm like, get to 664 00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:14.960 the half. 665 00:34:15.239 --> 00:34:18.119 Yeah, and I'm okay with that, Like, yeah, get to 666 00:34:18.159 --> 00:34:20.920 the half. Reset Now that you because you now have 667 00:34:20.960 --> 00:34:23.519 a lead at home for the first time in a 668 00:34:23.639 --> 00:34:27.840 very long time. So now you're your coaching staff in 669 00:34:27.880 --> 00:34:29.159 the locker room needs to say, all right, this is 670 00:34:29.199 --> 00:34:31.800 what we're gonna do. This is what we're gonna you know, 671 00:34:31.800 --> 00:34:36.239 figure out, and then you come back out and you 672 00:34:36.280 --> 00:34:38.800 implement that. But again, all eleven of the players that 673 00:34:38.880 --> 00:34:40.519 come back out of the locker room that step on 674 00:34:40.599 --> 00:34:41.960 the pitch need to be on the same page. And 675 00:34:42.000 --> 00:34:46.039 it just never really felt like they got it. They 676 00:34:46.079 --> 00:34:48.480 never really felt like they came out with a plan 677 00:34:48.880 --> 00:34:52.559 other than we're gonna halfway park the bus and defend 678 00:34:53.280 --> 00:34:56.760 and then we'll try to bombit long, which is also 679 00:34:56.800 --> 00:35:00.639 another thing Atlanta has never really done. And somebody comes 680 00:35:00.639 --> 00:35:02.199 away with it, and then nobody wants to win an 681 00:35:02.239 --> 00:35:05.119 aerial duel or a second ball. I say, they don't 682 00:35:05.119 --> 00:35:09.320 want to, I'm being sarcastic, but they didn't. And then 683 00:35:09.360 --> 00:35:13.639 you just you're perpetually a turnover machine. At that point, 684 00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:15.840 you're just giving the ball back to Nashville over and 685 00:35:15.880 --> 00:35:16.519 over and over. 686 00:35:16.400 --> 00:35:19.679 Again, forcing yourself to defend instead of slow the ball down, 687 00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:21.559 have possession and build up and come forward. 688 00:35:21.719 --> 00:35:26.760 Yeah, and because the thing is like Atlanta, Dyla is 689 00:35:26.760 --> 00:35:31.360 trying to do his thing. Yeah, Atlanta is still and 690 00:35:31.440 --> 00:35:33.679 I think Dyla would just tell you this, like he 691 00:35:33.719 --> 00:35:35.559 wants to build up and play through and all that 692 00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:38.599 kind of stuff as opposed to being a defensive maybe 693 00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:42.239 counter attacking team. But if you're gonna sit back and 694 00:35:42.320 --> 00:35:44.679 bend and bend and bend, you have to have an 695 00:35:44.719 --> 00:35:47.039 outlet going forward to try to hit on the counter. 696 00:35:47.320 --> 00:35:50.280 And every time there was a halfway opportunity to try to, 697 00:35:50.719 --> 00:35:52.639 you know, break that pressure and send the ball Ford 698 00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:54.760 de Latel Author Migge. Neither one of them are there 699 00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:57.400 or the ball is not going to them. It's just 700 00:35:58.000 --> 00:36:00.280 it's just cleared because you're panicking at that point. And 701 00:36:00.320 --> 00:36:02.960 I'm all for clearing the ball and sending it downfield 702 00:36:03.280 --> 00:36:07.360 when you're under a lot of pressure, But you gotta 703 00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:10.000 try to break loose one of your guys that can 704 00:36:10.039 --> 00:36:12.719 outrun anybody else in the pitch. You gotta give them 705 00:36:12.760 --> 00:36:14.480 a chance to hit on the counter if you're gonna 706 00:36:14.519 --> 00:36:17.000 if you're gonna play that way, but if not, again, 707 00:36:17.159 --> 00:36:21.159 you have the lead, you control the tempo, send it 708 00:36:21.239 --> 00:36:25.280 back to Brad, pass it around, make Nashville run for it, 709 00:36:25.320 --> 00:36:27.760 and then you have a good enough team here to 710 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:30.360 play through pressure. You do. Like a lot of these 711 00:36:30.360 --> 00:36:33.440 players still are from the play out of the back 712 00:36:33.519 --> 00:36:38.159 Gonzale Paneda era, and they're good enough to do it now. 713 00:36:38.239 --> 00:36:39.920 I mean, they might struggle against a press like the 714 00:36:39.960 --> 00:36:44.000 Red Bulls, but Nashville's not pressing like that, even even 715 00:36:44.039 --> 00:36:47.880 on a good day. So just frustrate them a little 716 00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:50.079 bit and then go and then try to break loose 717 00:36:50.079 --> 00:36:52.440 your your guys up top and go for the second 718 00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:54.840 one if you can. But to get stuck in that 719 00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:57.199 in between moment where like half the players are like, 720 00:36:57.480 --> 00:36:59.719 we're gonna, We're gonna do this, and half the players 721 00:36:59.719 --> 00:37:05.199 are not like it just it wasn't well executed in 722 00:37:05.360 --> 00:37:07.320 any way unfortunately. 723 00:37:07.519 --> 00:37:10.039 Yeah, and so then you end up with the equalizer, 724 00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:15.159 and then you're trying to hang on. From hanging on, 725 00:37:15.639 --> 00:37:18.360 you're trying to make sure that you can get that 726 00:37:18.440 --> 00:37:20.199 you can hang on to that point and try and 727 00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:28.119 chase after opportunities for for goal number two. And you 728 00:37:28.599 --> 00:37:31.360 look at and I'm looking at some of the comments 729 00:37:31.599 --> 00:37:34.920 in the twitch pitch and this is I know it's taken. 730 00:37:35.320 --> 00:37:36.920 It might have been taking a couple of days for 731 00:37:36.960 --> 00:37:40.159 folks to to kind of remember what's going on. But 732 00:37:40.239 --> 00:37:42.320 this is where we this is where we make sure 733 00:37:42.360 --> 00:37:44.800 that Monday and Tuesday and even Wednesday, make sure that 734 00:37:44.840 --> 00:37:46.559 everything is out of your system as we start to 735 00:37:46.599 --> 00:37:50.239 gear towards Chicago and Thursday and Friday. And I mean 736 00:37:50.280 --> 00:37:54.679 there are going to be I would imagine decisions that 737 00:37:54.840 --> 00:37:58.800 started with Ronnie Daila and the coaching staff about what 738 00:37:58.800 --> 00:38:01.320 you're starting eleven is going to look like. Obviously, the 739 00:38:01.840 --> 00:38:07.400 combination of matteas Klick and Alexi midanchuk As your two sixes. 740 00:38:08.280 --> 00:38:12.079 Uh you know, I I don't know. I think that 741 00:38:12.280 --> 00:38:18.159 probably with Midanchuk, you need him more as your midfield 742 00:38:18.199 --> 00:38:22.000 attacking three as opposed to one of your sixes. While 743 00:38:22.159 --> 00:38:25.159 the defensive numbers were there. And I know that the 744 00:38:25.199 --> 00:38:28.400 idea was, you know, to help out defensively and give 745 00:38:28.480 --> 00:38:30.840 him more space to create as a point guard. I 746 00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:33.800 think that you probably ended up taking him away from 747 00:38:33.800 --> 00:38:37.400 what you were looking for in that matchup against Nashville, 748 00:38:37.400 --> 00:38:40.239 coming up against Chicago, I think that he has to 749 00:38:40.280 --> 00:38:43.119 be further afield than being one of those two sixes 750 00:38:43.199 --> 00:38:45.440 in the basic four two three one as we envision 751 00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:46.320 it for Ronnie Dland. 752 00:38:47.440 --> 00:38:52.400 Yeah, and I think you you want Alexi higher up 753 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:54.760 the pitch, Like I think there's been like a little 754 00:38:54.760 --> 00:38:58.960 bit probably just the dialect of soccer, maybe a little 755 00:38:59.000 --> 00:39:03.760 bit of confusion like out. I don't think Alexi Mornchuck 756 00:39:03.800 --> 00:39:06.800 should be played as a defensive midfielder right in any way. 757 00:39:06.880 --> 00:39:11.440 I don't think that's that's proper now, Like we use 758 00:39:11.480 --> 00:39:15.519 the term six eight ten, blah blah blah, like he 759 00:39:16.360 --> 00:39:18.320 to me is more of that kind of box to 760 00:39:18.400 --> 00:39:22.239 box like Ford facing central midfielder, the one that you 761 00:39:22.239 --> 00:39:24.920 know it's it's the back line and the number six 762 00:39:25.000 --> 00:39:30.079 is job, the actual defensive midfielder to try to release 763 00:39:30.119 --> 00:39:32.480 the pressure, break it up to him, and then he 764 00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:34.800 is the one who then picks out where it goes 765 00:39:34.800 --> 00:39:37.800 from there. Yeah, and then the front rest of them 766 00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:42.960 work how they need to work. And I mean take 767 00:39:43.000 --> 00:39:47.840 away his lack of speed compared to other players, Like, 768 00:39:48.519 --> 00:39:51.239 we get that, but Anya Alex, like he's saying, you know, 769 00:39:51.280 --> 00:39:53.039 box box all about legs, but you don't have to 770 00:39:53.079 --> 00:39:55.800 be the fastest. You just need to be able to 771 00:39:55.880 --> 00:39:59.360 run for ninety minutes. But the good thing about Alexi 772 00:39:59.440 --> 00:40:03.079 is he he does have the vision to quickly make 773 00:40:03.159 --> 00:40:08.559 passes to you know, play through pressure, play around pressure, 774 00:40:08.599 --> 00:40:13.719 play over pressure, whatever you need somebody back there. Like 775 00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:16.000 I was talking about with Klick and Jay earlier, that 776 00:40:16.000 --> 00:40:18.639 that is going to give you kind of that break 777 00:40:18.639 --> 00:40:21.559 glass in case of emergency moment to where if you 778 00:40:21.599 --> 00:40:25.159 do get played through or around, then you're not leaving 779 00:40:25.159 --> 00:40:27.719 both of your center backs and potentially Brooks and Pedro 780 00:40:27.840 --> 00:40:28.480 on an island. 781 00:40:28.719 --> 00:40:31.559 Well and to the number to your point, I think 782 00:40:31.599 --> 00:40:36.719 that this also re emphasizes how important Tristan william Ba 783 00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:41.039 has been in Ronnie dlass system and not having him 784 00:40:41.039 --> 00:40:43.840 as a part of the system, knowing what Ronnie's looking 785 00:40:43.920 --> 00:40:49.199 for as someone who can be that second facilitator offensively 786 00:40:49.239 --> 00:40:50.639 when you need him to. And we all know that 787 00:40:50.639 --> 00:40:53.239 Tristan loves playing, you know, playing forward, but at the 788 00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:56.239 same time, when Tristan has to backtrack and help you 789 00:40:56.239 --> 00:40:59.440 out defensively. I think that this has also been the 790 00:40:59.519 --> 00:41:03.800 accent marks of when Tristan isn't in this lineup in 791 00:41:03.840 --> 00:41:07.079 its current iteration, how integral he has been to what 792 00:41:07.199 --> 00:41:08.280 Ronnie Diland wants to do. 793 00:41:09.239 --> 00:41:10.719 Yeah, And I think I think that's part of it. 794 00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:12.639 You if you're gonna play the way Rodney Diyland wants 795 00:41:12.679 --> 00:41:15.559 to play, you have to have midfielders, or at least 796 00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:19.360 one one of your two main midfielders have to have speed. 797 00:41:20.519 --> 00:41:23.760 And the only thing about Tristan I think that's been 798 00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:27.880 the biggest frustration this season is just the inconsistency. But 799 00:41:27.920 --> 00:41:32.239 I think if you take one aspect of the responsibility 800 00:41:32.280 --> 00:41:36.039 away from him and tell him, you know, because they 801 00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:38.280 they do have to work together. Whoever your your two 802 00:41:38.400 --> 00:41:40.599 six's or whatever you want to call them. Whoever your 803 00:41:40.599 --> 00:41:46.239 two midfielders are, they have to be on the same 804 00:41:46.280 --> 00:41:49.159 page when they're when you're trying to play through and 805 00:41:50.400 --> 00:41:52.880 because it can't always be that, you know your you're 806 00:41:53.559 --> 00:41:56.880 one guy sits back and just waits while your while 807 00:41:56.920 --> 00:42:01.400 your other one is the one moving forward. Because opposition 808 00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:03.840 will react to that, they'll figure it out, and then 809 00:42:03.840 --> 00:42:05.800 they're going to completely cut out your midfield, cut out 810 00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:07.039 the spine of your team, and then you're forced to 811 00:42:07.079 --> 00:42:10.159 play out wide. So you've got to be constantly moving 812 00:42:10.239 --> 00:42:12.519 in the midfield. You have to be constantly creating angles. 813 00:42:13.400 --> 00:42:15.880 So you need somebody that's gonna, you know, continue to run. 814 00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:19.320 But especially at that defensive option, you need somebody that 815 00:42:19.360 --> 00:42:21.360 has legs on them. They can really really, you know, 816 00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:26.079 turn it up a gear. And so with Tristan, if 817 00:42:26.360 --> 00:42:29.679 if you can tell him, you know, your main responsibility 818 00:42:29.760 --> 00:42:33.800 actually is as the defensive midfielder. You play forward when 819 00:42:33.800 --> 00:42:39.519 the opportunity presents itself, sure, but you be there to 820 00:42:39.599 --> 00:42:41.239 help out the center backs. Because we saw it a 821 00:42:41.280 --> 00:42:43.960 lot in the preseason where whoever was that number six, 822 00:42:43.960 --> 00:42:47.599 that defensive midfielder, they drop back as another center back 823 00:42:47.639 --> 00:42:50.639 at a lot of times, and I think that's a 824 00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:52.519 little bit of that has kind of fallen off lately. 825 00:42:52.559 --> 00:42:54.199 I haven't seen that as much kind of in the 826 00:42:54.280 --> 00:42:56.559 in the past four or five six matches. And I 827 00:42:56.599 --> 00:42:58.480 don't know if that's Diala tried something different or if 828 00:42:58.519 --> 00:43:02.119 it's just like a breakdown with the constant rotating you know. 829 00:43:02.360 --> 00:43:05.960 Well, And to that particular point. 830 00:43:06.039 --> 00:43:06.679 The way that. 831 00:43:08.320 --> 00:43:10.280 The way that and this is and I've taken this 832 00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:14.480 from Jason, is that you want one more center back 833 00:43:14.519 --> 00:43:17.840 than they have striker. So if you're going up against 834 00:43:17.880 --> 00:43:20.679 a team like a Nashville then you should be okay 835 00:43:20.719 --> 00:43:23.800 with your two center backs and having that six you're 836 00:43:23.840 --> 00:43:26.559 one of your your defensive minded six come in and 837 00:43:26.559 --> 00:43:30.079 be your bracket. If it's a team that plays two 838 00:43:30.159 --> 00:43:31.800 up top and like a four four two or whatever 839 00:43:31.800 --> 00:43:33.800 you want to call it, with two strikers in the attack, 840 00:43:34.159 --> 00:43:36.559 then you're gonna want that six to drop back literally 841 00:43:36.599 --> 00:43:39.400 and be that third center back to help you out there. 842 00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:41.480 So you've always got that man advantage. So I look 843 00:43:41.480 --> 00:43:44.440 at it that way. When you're going back line of 844 00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:47.760 Atlanta United versus striker, you always want one more back 845 00:43:47.800 --> 00:43:50.320 there and your starting lineup to start and then have 846 00:43:50.440 --> 00:43:53.480 individuals drift back from those two sixes to help you 847 00:43:53.519 --> 00:43:56.360 out either to bracket or to actually help defend. 848 00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:00.480 Yeah, and I think this is also where it kind 849 00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:03.719 of becomes on. There's a little bit of bonus on 850 00:44:03.760 --> 00:44:08.400 the wing backs to kind of figure out how that 851 00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:12.920 chemistry and that cohesion is going to work. Because Atlanta 852 00:44:12.960 --> 00:44:15.239 wants to play wide, they do. They want to use 853 00:44:15.280 --> 00:44:17.239 their width, they want to use the speed on the width. 854 00:44:19.800 --> 00:44:22.599 But you I think in the past, like before this year, 855 00:44:22.639 --> 00:44:26.360 we've seen kind of just this one dimensional version where 856 00:44:26.920 --> 00:44:28.280 you just try to get it out wide and then 857 00:44:28.280 --> 00:44:30.559 move it up the pitch and then you send in 858 00:44:30.599 --> 00:44:35.440 crosses and hope that something something happens. When all Model 859 00:44:35.480 --> 00:44:37.199 was here, he helped mitigate a lot of that because 860 00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:39.159 if you could get the ball to Almada where he 861 00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:41.679 was at, he would make things happen down the middle. 862 00:44:41.880 --> 00:44:44.360 Yeah, because of positional gravity, you'd have more than one 863 00:44:44.400 --> 00:44:47.119 defender exactly. It means that someone's open and that person 864 00:44:47.159 --> 00:44:48.719 can sit there and continue things forward. 865 00:44:48.840 --> 00:44:51.559 Yeah, And I think that's where having Meggie kind of 866 00:44:51.599 --> 00:44:56.320 in that that space helps out because positional gravity, like 867 00:44:56.360 --> 00:44:58.599 a guy with that kind of danger, he's going to 868 00:44:58.719 --> 00:45:04.000 draw in defenders now naturally. So going back to playing 869 00:45:04.039 --> 00:45:07.960 through the middle, I mean you you always want to 870 00:45:08.000 --> 00:45:13.280 keep your your numerical superiority, the many, many syllable phrase 871 00:45:13.320 --> 00:45:17.800 that we use a lot. But in kind of that 872 00:45:17.840 --> 00:45:21.159 case of trying to build up, if you're having your 873 00:45:21.239 --> 00:45:23.679 number six or one of your midfielders kind of drop back, 874 00:45:24.480 --> 00:45:26.599 of course that's the time when you want your your 875 00:45:26.599 --> 00:45:29.400 wing backs to get higher up the pitch because that's 876 00:45:29.400 --> 00:45:32.079 going to pull defenders away and it's just going to 877 00:45:32.119 --> 00:45:34.679 continue to create. But we I think what we've seen 878 00:45:34.679 --> 00:45:36.760 a lot no matter how they try to build up, 879 00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:41.639 is as the game progresses, there is less and less 880 00:45:41.679 --> 00:45:45.079 off the ball movement from everybody. And like in the 881 00:45:45.119 --> 00:45:48.280 beginning of this match, every I've ben tweeted about it. 882 00:45:48.320 --> 00:45:51.199 Everybody was moving in sync with each other, especially when 883 00:45:51.280 --> 00:45:53.519 Nashville was in the ball. It was very well disciplined, 884 00:45:53.559 --> 00:45:56.199 it was very well drilled. It looked pretty, and it 885 00:45:56.239 --> 00:45:59.880 was effective because they they never really let Nashville have 886 00:46:00.159 --> 00:46:03.320 much of anything. And then when that fell off, it 887 00:46:03.400 --> 00:46:04.760 all fell off. You got to the point where there 888 00:46:04.760 --> 00:46:07.480 were just there were players that were watching it looked 889 00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:09.679 like the media match, just players like watching the ball 890 00:46:09.760 --> 00:46:13.840 go by and nobody's moving off the ball to create angles. 891 00:46:13.840 --> 00:46:14.880 And when that stops. 892 00:46:15.199 --> 00:46:19.519 Everything stops, and that goes back to Ronnie Dylad's points 893 00:46:19.559 --> 00:46:23.440 about he doesn't know if it's you know, physical, emotional, 894 00:46:23.760 --> 00:46:27.159 you know what, whatever's going on up here, especially when 895 00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:29.760 you've got that one goal lead Tyler Pilgrim hanging out 896 00:46:29.760 --> 00:46:32.119 with us as he always does here with the scarves 897 00:46:32.159 --> 00:46:34.320 and spikes as they get ready for the the midweek 898 00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:37.599 night time show and that that'll be tonight on the 899 00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:40.559 the S n S YouTube's and all of their social 900 00:46:40.599 --> 00:46:43.880 media is and you get to who's who's on Who's 901 00:46:43.920 --> 00:46:44.599 on with you tonight? 902 00:46:45.719 --> 00:46:47.320 So we're working on a guest. I don't have anybody 903 00:46:47.400 --> 00:46:50.039 verified yet. It's just been one of those weeks, but 904 00:46:50.079 --> 00:46:52.840 it'll be. It should be me, Tommy Sydney. 905 00:46:53.079 --> 00:46:59.320 Okay, So, so is is out out discovering stories and things? 906 00:46:59.639 --> 00:47:02.280 He he's out. Yeah, and he's also preparing to graduate. 907 00:47:02.760 --> 00:47:04.360 So I've never heard of this term. 908 00:47:04.480 --> 00:47:05.119 Yeah, me, neither. 909 00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:06.800 I don't know what this is. 910 00:47:07.440 --> 00:47:09.400 He's not allowed to take time off as he's preparing 911 00:47:09.440 --> 00:47:10.960 to graduate from Kennesaw States. 912 00:47:11.000 --> 00:47:13.239 That's that's what I told him, but he ignored me. 913 00:47:13.400 --> 00:47:15.280 Did you tell his dad that when he was in 914 00:47:15.320 --> 00:47:15.920 the press box? 915 00:47:16.000 --> 00:47:17.320 Yes, I did. 916 00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:21.320 It's like like ach Acha V point one, Sir, he's 917 00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:23.280 not allowed to take time off and graduate. 918 00:47:23.320 --> 00:47:24.400 That's not how this played. 919 00:47:24.440 --> 00:47:25.639 No, he can't go anywhere. 920 00:47:25.840 --> 00:47:29.719 No, it's like you got stuff to do. I know that. 921 00:47:29.760 --> 00:47:31.480 Like I said, as the weekend, As the week goes, 922 00:47:31.519 --> 00:47:33.800 we've got to get into our OPO research. For Chicago, 923 00:47:34.440 --> 00:47:36.840 you're looking at a team that will not have Chris 924 00:47:36.880 --> 00:47:41.119 Brady because he decided to go in studs up in 925 00:47:41.159 --> 00:47:44.679 the thirty sixth minute last time out, and so Chicago 926 00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:48.000 played the purple team with ten and you end up 927 00:47:48.000 --> 00:47:50.239 with a goalless draw. Jonathan gall ended up playing the 928 00:47:50.280 --> 00:47:54.199 final fifty plus. I think fifty four and thirty six 929 00:47:54.239 --> 00:47:58.079 is ninety. Yes, So Jonathan gall one of the supplementals, 930 00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:00.719 the thirty four year old hometown guy. I think he's 931 00:48:00.719 --> 00:48:01.920 probably gonna be between. 932 00:48:01.639 --> 00:48:02.519 The sticks. 933 00:48:03.920 --> 00:48:08.760 Chicago. They've given Greg Burhalter the keys. He is Bill Parcells. 934 00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:12.800 He is the guy who is the vice president, general manager. 935 00:48:12.960 --> 00:48:15.280 He is player personnel, he is head coach, he is 936 00:48:15.320 --> 00:48:18.280 the whole thing. He is Bill Parcells in Chicago. What 937 00:48:18.360 --> 00:48:22.639 are you anticipating after a goal of straw from Chicago 938 00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:28.119 and after them giving up seven to Nashville, and they 939 00:48:28.480 --> 00:48:30.360 are the box that they are the box of Russell 940 00:48:30.400 --> 00:48:32.159 Stover's chocolates Right now, Man, you don't know. 941 00:48:33.079 --> 00:48:34.960 You're literally about to say that. 942 00:48:35.159 --> 00:48:37.719 You don't know what you're getting out of Russell Stover's 943 00:48:37.840 --> 00:48:40.519 FC otherwise known as Chicago Fire right now. 944 00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:45.599 Yeah, you genuinely have no idea which I'm gonna make 945 00:48:45.639 --> 00:48:49.239 a dig here. Sounds like Burr Halter. You just never 946 00:48:49.280 --> 00:48:53.920 know what you're gonna get, no offense, Greg, But I mean, yeah, 947 00:48:54.000 --> 00:48:58.559 I think it's it's one of those where you have 948 00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:02.840 to obviously look at the glaring elephant in the room, 949 00:49:02.840 --> 00:49:04.519 which is you're playing against a backup keeper. 950 00:49:04.840 --> 00:49:05.199 Yeah. 951 00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:06.960 I mean you've got to test him. 952 00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:07.519 Shoot it. 953 00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:10.079 Yeah, period. Yeah, you got to take some shots. 954 00:49:10.199 --> 00:49:11.280 Shoot it, yep. 955 00:49:11.719 --> 00:49:14.360 And I don't care if it's you know, twenty five 956 00:49:14.440 --> 00:49:16.679 thirty yards out. Yeah, you have to just take the 957 00:49:16.719 --> 00:49:17.480 freaking shots. 958 00:49:17.480 --> 00:49:17.719 Man. 959 00:49:19.199 --> 00:49:22.760 So that's that's number one, Like, just go test him, 960 00:49:22.800 --> 00:49:26.639 make him earn his spot. Yeah, he got from a 961 00:49:26.679 --> 00:49:32.639 red card. But besides that, I mean, formationally, you try 962 00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:34.199 to look at Chicago and the way that they play, 963 00:49:35.119 --> 00:49:39.199 and it's all over the place. I mean, I think 964 00:49:39.199 --> 00:49:43.239 there's a type of identity there, but it can be 965 00:49:43.280 --> 00:49:45.360 picked apart so well. And I really do think this 966 00:49:45.480 --> 00:49:48.639 is a match where your guys like Latte Lofe, you're 967 00:49:48.679 --> 00:49:50.880 you're quick guys, where they're going to be able to 968 00:49:50.880 --> 00:49:53.920 get in behind and if you play your cards right. 969 00:49:54.760 --> 00:49:57.679 And that's my biggest concern is just can Atlanta come 970 00:49:57.679 --> 00:49:59.320 out with the right game plan and implement it and 971 00:49:59.360 --> 00:50:04.559 stick to it for ninety minutes and get back there 972 00:50:04.599 --> 00:50:07.440 and really really test out the keeper on the other 973 00:50:07.480 --> 00:50:11.039 side of the ball. I mean, it's Chicago's scoring goals. 974 00:50:11.119 --> 00:50:12.639 It's not that they're not, they're just giving up a 975 00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:13.079 ton too. 976 00:50:13.159 --> 00:50:15.639 So I mean. 977 00:50:17.199 --> 00:50:19.280 I would say this has the chance to be a shootout, 978 00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:20.320 and it does. 979 00:50:20.760 --> 00:50:21.239 Yeah, But. 980 00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:27.320 I think if excuse me, if Atlanta can go into 981 00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:32.639 this and try to just be a bit more disciplined 982 00:50:33.280 --> 00:50:36.719 then they've been in the past four or five matches, 983 00:50:37.480 --> 00:50:39.920 then you can come out of this one. I really 984 00:50:39.920 --> 00:50:42.480 do think minimum a draw. I really do feel that way. 985 00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:44.119 And I know, like going up to Chicago, Chicago has 986 00:50:44.119 --> 00:50:47.320 always been a place it's really weirdly tough for Atlanta, 987 00:50:48.199 --> 00:50:49.880 But I think you can pull something out of this one. 988 00:50:50.079 --> 00:50:52.239 But if you go up there and you switch off 989 00:50:52.719 --> 00:50:55.679 at any point, I mean, you forget about it, You're done. 990 00:50:57.159 --> 00:51:02.440 And I had Oh it was Michael Head's question. Early 991 00:51:02.480 --> 00:51:06.079 on in our conversation. Michael brought into the Twitch Pitch 992 00:51:06.159 --> 00:51:08.039 big picture third of the way through the season, where 993 00:51:08.079 --> 00:51:11.920 is the hope? He was thinking that obviously the bringing 994 00:51:11.960 --> 00:51:14.159 back the Garth comment about being back, but where is 995 00:51:14.239 --> 00:51:14.760 the hope? 996 00:51:17.039 --> 00:51:18.480 I think the hope is still there? 997 00:51:18.920 --> 00:51:19.960 Yeah, I do. 998 00:51:20.480 --> 00:51:26.079 I mean, you know, I do think the team unfortunately 999 00:51:26.119 --> 00:51:28.440 does run the risk playing the way that they are 1000 00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:32.239 right now. Of I'm not going to say the phrase 1001 00:51:32.320 --> 00:51:34.400 like run them away, because I don't think that's what 1002 00:51:34.440 --> 00:51:35.679 it is. I just think it's not going to draw 1003 00:51:35.679 --> 00:51:37.599 in the casuals, you know, the way that maybe it 1004 00:51:37.679 --> 00:51:42.400 did before you start winning again and all that changes. 1005 00:51:42.719 --> 00:51:44.840 But as far as the hope, I mean, that's the 1006 00:51:44.920 --> 00:51:47.280 reason there's still hope. In my opinion, this is my 1007 00:51:47.400 --> 00:51:53.159 personal opinion, is you have guys like Lattel, Migal Almron, Alexei, 1008 00:51:53.239 --> 00:51:55.079 Marin Chuck. For all the crap that he's been given, 1009 00:51:55.360 --> 00:51:57.840 he's still a good soccer player. He's just not fitting 1010 00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:02.039 the way things are right now. Saba, who was the 1011 00:52:02.119 --> 00:52:04.880 guy last year I mean, it's not that you have 1012 00:52:06.360 --> 00:52:10.519 a team, you know, full of nobodies that can't do anything, 1013 00:52:10.599 --> 00:52:14.000 that aren't coached. Well, you have a team full of 1014 00:52:14.599 --> 00:52:21.119 talent that is either again opinion, being misused or just 1015 00:52:21.119 --> 00:52:23.480 not living up to their full potential. And then you 1016 00:52:23.599 --> 00:52:26.360 have a coach who I think just hasn't quite been 1017 00:52:26.360 --> 00:52:31.199 able to figure it all out yet. And I mean 1018 00:52:31.519 --> 00:52:35.199 that's got to be fixed. That you've got eleven twelve 1019 00:52:35.199 --> 00:52:38.000 games in almost twelve games in Yeah, you need to 1020 00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:42.440 start quickly getting whatever identity you're going to have for 1021 00:52:42.480 --> 00:52:46.360 the rest of the season, because the time is running 1022 00:52:46.360 --> 00:52:48.920 out for the excuses. The time is running out for 1023 00:52:50.119 --> 00:52:52.800 you know, all of us to be able to say, 1024 00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:55.079 as we analyze MLS on a weekly basis, for us 1025 00:52:55.119 --> 00:52:57.639 to be able to say, oh, well, you know, it's 1026 00:52:57.679 --> 00:52:59.679 just the beginning of the season. It's not worth third 1027 00:52:59.719 --> 00:53:04.400 of the way at this point. And so though the 1028 00:53:04.440 --> 00:53:07.320 tables are going to change massively between now and October, 1029 00:53:08.360 --> 00:53:10.320 at least things are kind of starting to take shape, 1030 00:53:10.360 --> 00:53:12.440 and you don't want to be stuck down at number 1031 00:53:12.440 --> 00:53:15.079 twelve or thirteen or whatever for the rest of the season. 1032 00:53:15.159 --> 00:53:17.639 But I do think that it is fixable because of 1033 00:53:17.719 --> 00:53:19.840 the talent that you have on the pitch and off 1034 00:53:19.880 --> 00:53:20.239 the pitch. 1035 00:53:22.360 --> 00:53:23.199 You could be La. 1036 00:53:24.159 --> 00:53:25.679 You could be La or Montreal. 1037 00:53:27.599 --> 00:53:32.199 Which one of those is. Knowing the injuries in Los 1038 00:53:32.239 --> 00:53:38.599 Angeles and knowing the lack of playing at home for Montreal, 1039 00:53:39.519 --> 00:53:43.960 it is one. Does one stand out more at eight 1040 00:53:44.000 --> 00:53:45.119 and three to you than the other? 1041 00:53:47.039 --> 00:53:49.119 I mean the Galaxy for sure, just because they're coming 1042 00:53:49.119 --> 00:53:54.360 off being in most Cup champions. You know, all through 1043 00:53:54.360 --> 00:53:56.519 the preseason in the beginning of the season, I kept saying, 1044 00:53:56.519 --> 00:53:58.119 and a lot of us kept saying, like, oh, once 1045 00:53:58.159 --> 00:54:02.119 they get these guys back, it'll be okay. But you've 1046 00:54:02.119 --> 00:54:04.920 more or less got everybody back except for Riki Pooch 1047 00:54:05.000 --> 00:54:09.760 obviously it's the big one. But you have Marco Royd, 1048 00:54:09.800 --> 00:54:13.679 like you have one of the better midfielders traditionally historically, 1049 00:54:14.360 --> 00:54:19.480 you know, in the world, and it's just not working. 1050 00:54:19.679 --> 00:54:21.679 The thing about the Galaxy that's wild though, is like 1051 00:54:22.159 --> 00:54:28.360 they're creating opportunities, they're taking shots. They just have the 1052 00:54:28.679 --> 00:54:32.480 worst luck. I mean the drunk ue cool game of 1053 00:54:32.519 --> 00:54:35.679 the weekend this past weekend that is insane to me, Like, 1054 00:54:35.719 --> 00:54:39.519 how do you how are you that unlucky? And then 1055 00:54:39.559 --> 00:54:41.360 on the other side, of it Montreal, Like we go 1056 00:54:41.400 --> 00:54:43.119 back to them firing their coach at the beginning of 1057 00:54:43.119 --> 00:54:46.280 the season. Shouldn't have done that, that was stupid. But whatever, 1058 00:54:46.400 --> 00:54:49.880 we're not the ones in charge. I do feel like 1059 00:54:49.920 --> 00:54:53.440 maybe they've got a few more excuses than the Galaxy does, 1060 00:54:53.480 --> 00:54:55.360 because the Galaxy still has talent on their team. They're 1061 00:54:55.440 --> 00:54:58.639 just not They're just not winning games. 1062 00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:05.039 Yeah, yeah, like you, I will, I will. I will 1063 00:55:05.079 --> 00:55:11.280 answer Michael's questions like where's the hope. I am still 1064 00:55:11.320 --> 00:55:15.199 optimistic that they will get things squared away. I know, 1065 00:55:15.280 --> 00:55:17.960 obviously you have to figure out formationally what it's gonna 1066 00:55:17.960 --> 00:55:21.239 look like. I know that Ronnie likes the two sixes. 1067 00:55:21.840 --> 00:55:24.280 You know, do you do you end up with like 1068 00:55:24.320 --> 00:55:27.199 we saw last time out? Does MIGGI end up as 1069 00:55:27.239 --> 00:55:30.800 more of a second striker playing behind Latte a lot 1070 00:55:30.800 --> 00:55:33.719 as opposed to off to the side too, you know, 1071 00:55:33.840 --> 00:55:36.679 draw folks in and then get Latte a lot three. 1072 00:55:37.440 --> 00:55:40.760 Uh So I'm looking at it more. Yeah, I'm gonna 1073 00:55:40.760 --> 00:55:42.639 have a back four. Y'all have my two sixes, and 1074 00:55:42.639 --> 00:55:44.400 then the midfield is what it's going to be, and 1075 00:55:44.440 --> 00:55:47.400 then you have Miggy And I don't know if I 1076 00:55:47.400 --> 00:55:50.519 can do this in three dimensions or not, but you 1077 00:55:50.719 --> 00:55:53.480 so literally it's like you had Yeah, so like this, 1078 00:55:54.039 --> 00:55:56.119 like if you're looking at a graphic, so Latte a 1079 00:55:56.159 --> 00:55:58.679 lot and then Miggi playing you know, and you know, 1080 00:55:58.719 --> 00:56:01.039 Miggi playing behind as a second striker, and so Miggy 1081 00:56:01.079 --> 00:56:05.920 can that way, Miggy can go oh there he goes, yes, yeah, 1082 00:56:06.199 --> 00:56:08.480 get out the get out the get out the drawing 1083 00:56:08.559 --> 00:56:13.719 board here. So basically I think that you know, maybe 1084 00:56:13.760 --> 00:56:16.800 to give Miggy more freedom, you play him as the 1085 00:56:16.840 --> 00:56:20.159 second striker, which is what we saw and draw there 1086 00:56:20.199 --> 00:56:22.760 we go, yes, am, Miggi Yeah, and Latte a lot, 1087 00:56:22.800 --> 00:56:23.719 Yeah exactly. 1088 00:56:23.960 --> 00:56:26.119 That is what we're staring at. Uh. 1089 00:56:26.159 --> 00:56:30.480 And also, I mean you're a good week out of 1090 00:56:30.519 --> 00:56:34.719 being in the playoffs themselves, and there are a lot 1091 00:56:34.760 --> 00:56:37.199 of folks right now in Major League soccer. Yeah there yeah, 1092 00:56:37.280 --> 00:56:38.880 so that's what you're kind of staring at. 1093 00:56:39.119 --> 00:56:42.159 Yeah. Yeah, So you're you're. 1094 00:56:42.039 --> 00:56:46.400 Looking at mid On Chuck as your point guard. You're 1095 00:56:46.440 --> 00:56:48.559 looking at it that these are the things that you've 1096 00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:50.719 got to figure out. But I'm thinking that, you know, 1097 00:56:50.800 --> 00:56:53.320 instead of on the wing. You know, we saw Miggi 1098 00:56:53.360 --> 00:56:55.840 as a second striker, gives him more latitude to create 1099 00:56:55.880 --> 00:56:59.320 behind Lte a lot working east west Latte a lot. 1100 00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:02.199 You know, everything goes in and you work to work 1101 00:57:02.239 --> 00:57:04.239 the speed with lots of a lot working in from behind. 1102 00:57:04.760 --> 00:57:07.480 But he hasn't quite had the chances to do that. 1103 00:57:08.599 --> 00:57:12.199 So right now the midfield combination is where we are. 1104 00:57:12.239 --> 00:57:14.840 But for the hope, I've got it. You know, like 1105 00:57:14.880 --> 00:57:17.039 I said, you have a good week, you start leap 1106 00:57:17.079 --> 00:57:20.039 frogging folks, and I think that it takes that one result. 1107 00:57:20.159 --> 00:57:22.519 I think it legitimately takes that one result that you're 1108 00:57:22.519 --> 00:57:26.079 staring at and gives you the notion of Okay, there's 1109 00:57:26.079 --> 00:57:28.679 something here. And I think if you get that one 1110 00:57:28.880 --> 00:57:33.199 solid win where everything is together, that you can show 1111 00:57:33.320 --> 00:57:36.079 everybody that hey, we know how to do this. We've 1112 00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:39.000 known the entire time. Now we've implemented it the way 1113 00:57:39.000 --> 00:57:41.199 that we want to. Let's build off of that. I 1114 00:57:41.239 --> 00:57:43.400 think it's the one good result where you play that 1115 00:57:43.440 --> 00:57:45.719 good ninety minutes, where you can build off of that. 1116 00:57:45.840 --> 00:57:47.400 I think that's the answer to the question. 1117 00:57:47.960 --> 00:57:52.239 Yeah, look at New England, who's apparently their get right 1118 00:57:52.280 --> 00:57:56.159 game was the Atlanta But you know, I mean we 1119 00:57:56.159 --> 00:57:59.159 were I felt like we were seconds away from Caleb 1120 00:57:59.159 --> 00:58:00.000 Porter being fined. 1121 00:58:00.400 --> 00:58:03.599 Yeah, I would agree, And now they've. 1122 00:58:03.400 --> 00:58:05.760 They figured it out and then they I think they 1123 00:58:05.760 --> 00:58:07.840 figured out that. I thought about it on m last Monday, 1124 00:58:07.840 --> 00:58:12.199 but like not not to make this long. You have 1125 00:58:12.239 --> 00:58:14.920 a team that was halfway decent defensively, they weren't really 1126 00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:16.440 letting in a lot of goals. They just couldn't score 1127 00:58:16.440 --> 00:58:18.519 and they were you know, giving up one and losing. 1128 00:58:20.119 --> 00:58:24.159 They've kept the defensive capabilities, but they've got Carlis Hill working, 1129 00:58:24.239 --> 00:58:27.079 They've got guys feeding him, and then at the end 1130 00:58:27.119 --> 00:58:30.119 of the day, they're finishing chances and not allowing anything 1131 00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:31.679 else in. So they I think they figured out how 1132 00:58:31.719 --> 00:58:33.519 they want to play or how they best play. Maybe 1133 00:58:33.519 --> 00:58:35.079 they don't want to play that way, but they're doing it, 1134 00:58:35.320 --> 00:58:36.800 and I want to play the way that's gonna win. 1135 00:58:37.280 --> 00:58:39.519 So if I'm them, I'm gonna keep doing that. Yeah, 1136 00:58:40.800 --> 00:58:43.800 Cincinnati was kind of off to a weird start and 1137 00:58:43.840 --> 00:58:47.639 they've kind of gotten it under control. Not that they 1138 00:58:47.679 --> 00:58:51.199 were bad ever, but I mean, you know, it's it's 1139 00:58:51.239 --> 00:58:53.599 all a matter of just you kind of figure out 1140 00:58:53.599 --> 00:58:55.960 what works. Because something is gonna work with this team, 1141 00:58:56.199 --> 00:58:58.840 something is gonna work. You just got to figure out 1142 00:58:58.880 --> 00:58:59.239 what it is? 1143 00:58:59.440 --> 00:59:02.920 All right, So what's going on? When? Who? What? Where?

I mean, it's the it's the 1177 01:00:42.800 --> 01:00:47.280 god for's sake in seven a m slot and I've 1178 01:00:47.320 --> 01:00:49.800 got MLS the night before this, so that's not happening. 1179 01:00:50.079 --> 01:00:52.199 Oh no, I. 1180 01:00:52.199 --> 01:00:54.119 Know, But but I mean you can't at least go 1181 01:00:54.199 --> 01:00:55.760 back and rewind it and take a peek at it. 1182 01:00:55.840 --> 01:00:57.719 You sit there and it's like, yeah, okay, I mean, yeah, I. 1183 01:00:57.920 --> 01:01:00.239 Have some I have some thing on my phone, did 1184 01:01:00.239 --> 01:01:03.719 an update and now I get like live time scores 1185 01:01:03.760 --> 01:01:08.239 with with possessions and all kinds of fun stuff, and 1186 01:01:09.320 --> 01:01:12.760 so yeah, I don't know if I can keep it hidden. 1187 01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:19.239 Oh I know you can, and you know, good for 1188 01:01:19.280 --> 01:01:22.039 Tyler by the way, because I'd imagine it'll be probably 1189 01:01:22.039 --> 01:01:24.199 the first time he leaves the Bends this year, not 1190 01:01:24.400 --> 01:01:27.599 like cursing and screaming about what he saw. 1191 01:01:27.800 --> 01:01:30.440 Yeah, I mean that's probably true unless you're a fan 1192 01:01:30.760 --> 01:01:35.320 of the opposition. Uh, when you look at Atlanta United 1193 01:01:35.559 --> 01:01:38.440 in the conversations that you have in the Northeast and 1194 01:01:38.480 --> 01:01:42.800 on the national level, what are the the the talking points? 1195 01:01:42.840 --> 01:01:45.199 Is it more questions? Is it? What? What? 1196 01:01:45.199 --> 01:01:48.679 What is the national slash northeastern vibe right now about 1197 01:01:48.719 --> 01:01:51.280 Atlanta United here a third of the way through the season. 1198 01:01:51.559 --> 01:01:53.679 Yeah, it's not good, all right, I mean it's it's 1199 01:01:53.719 --> 01:01:58.920 a team. You know. Look, when when you spend the 1200 01:01:58.960 --> 01:02:02.960 way that they've spent, you should be better, right, Like, 1201 01:02:03.039 --> 01:02:08.000 I mean that's in a similar fashion, right, Like Austin 1202 01:02:08.079 --> 01:02:13.320 spent like thirty million or whatever it is on their 1203 01:02:14.239 --> 01:02:16.639 forwards and their attackers and they can't. 1204 01:02:16.880 --> 01:02:20.800 Yeah, we went into that where og and Brandon vass 1205 01:02:21.239 --> 01:02:23.199 leading scorers right now for Austin. 1206 01:02:24.599 --> 01:02:31.000 So you know it's it's uh and for like like look, 1207 01:02:31.039 --> 01:02:33.960 if you're if you're I don't know, I don't know 1208 01:02:33.960 --> 01:02:35.639 what other team you want to compare it to, But 1209 01:02:35.679 --> 01:02:38.039 like if you are a team that is having the 1210 01:02:38.039 --> 01:02:40.719 struggles that Atlanta has and you don't have the personnel. 1211 01:02:40.840 --> 01:02:43.960 You're like, all right, we just need to get players, right, 1212 01:02:44.199 --> 01:02:48.119 but you have players, yeah, and that's the frustrating part. 1213 01:02:48.119 --> 01:02:53.400 It's it's it's getting I guess that cohesion among the 1214 01:02:53.440 --> 01:02:57.440 players you have, figuring out the right spots. You would hope, 1215 01:02:57.800 --> 01:03:01.159 what is it eleven games now that that would have 1216 01:03:01.159 --> 01:03:07.480 been figured out by now. Yeah, And sometimes, uh, you know, 1217 01:03:07.519 --> 01:03:11.239 I mean maybe maybe the lesson here and you know, 1218 01:03:11.239 --> 01:03:13.880 I think it's too early for this, but uh, you know, 1219 01:03:13.920 --> 01:03:17.000 maybe sometimes it's not all about the Benjamins, right, Like 1220 01:03:17.079 --> 01:03:23.280 it's it's it's uh, you know, you you need you know, 1221 01:03:23.519 --> 01:03:25.239 I don't know, Like I mean, you know, you heard 1222 01:03:25.280 --> 01:03:27.440 Dax McCarty, and again he was in that locker room, 1223 01:03:27.480 --> 01:03:34.880 so I think his word speaks louder than most talking 1224 01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:40.320 about the leadership component. Right, where is the Jeff Lorentowitz 1225 01:03:40.320 --> 01:03:40.800 in that room? 1226 01:03:41.039 --> 01:03:41.199 Right? 1227 01:03:41.360 --> 01:03:44.599 Where's the Michael Parkhurst in that room? I don't know. 1228 01:03:44.719 --> 01:03:46.719 I mean, guzan, I suppose, but it's hard to be 1229 01:03:46.760 --> 01:03:51.599 a leader as a goalie. So I don't know where 1230 01:03:51.639 --> 01:03:53.440 that leadership is coming. I don't know. I don't know 1231 01:03:53.480 --> 01:03:58.960 who in that locker room is like, you know, throwing 1232 01:03:59.039 --> 01:04:02.599 the gatoray thing to the floor and being like what's 1233 01:04:02.639 --> 01:04:04.280 going on or knocking over all. 1234 01:04:04.159 --> 01:04:08.920 The Yeah, no, no, I just match right, Yeah, a roskompoil. 1235 01:04:09.079 --> 01:04:12.000 I mean right now you're seeing it from one of 1236 01:04:12.000 --> 01:04:14.800 our nineteen year old center backs. And Noah Cobb, who 1237 01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:18.519 was he knows he's come up through the academy system, 1238 01:04:18.880 --> 01:04:21.639 so he knows what it's like. And I know that 1239 01:04:21.679 --> 01:04:24.679 a lot of folks that will watch us, listen to us, 1240 01:04:24.719 --> 01:04:27.079 what have you, they look at Noah and sit there 1241 01:04:27.119 --> 01:04:29.599 and go future captain right there because of what Noah 1242 01:04:29.679 --> 01:04:32.880 says when he's asked about things in post match interviews, 1243 01:04:33.039 --> 01:04:36.119 because he's lived and breathed and died with the Crest 1244 01:04:36.159 --> 01:04:38.760 ever since he walked in, coming in from the Academy 1245 01:04:38.800 --> 01:04:41.199 system to his minutes on the first team. 1246 01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:43.920 But that's telling that it's right that it's a nineteen 1247 01:04:44.000 --> 01:04:48.239 year old, yeah, coming up through the system. Who's got 1248 01:04:48.280 --> 01:04:53.119 the answers, Who's who's yeah, Who's who's got to answer 1249 01:04:53.119 --> 01:04:54.920 the questions in front of the press, right, who's like 1250 01:04:55.119 --> 01:04:57.039 stepping up and taking accountability? 1251 01:04:57.159 --> 01:04:58.840 Yeah? And it was just that case. 1252 01:04:58.920 --> 01:05:01.079 It was two weeks ago when it was Noah and 1253 01:05:01.199 --> 01:05:04.199 Jay Fortune, the name that Dax McCarty has been alluding 1254 01:05:04.239 --> 01:05:07.599 to as one of the mandatory starters in your midfield 1255 01:05:07.599 --> 01:05:10.960 that you're seeing so far with ATLANDA United. Uh uh, 1256 01:05:11.280 --> 01:05:14.440 I asked Tyler this in the first in the first hour, 1257 01:05:14.519 --> 01:05:18.960 which one when you look at Montreal and Lag out 1258 01:05:19.000 --> 01:05:21.400 of the blocks and Michael Head in our in our 1259 01:05:21.400 --> 01:05:24.400 twitch pitch, one of our A listers, he's said that, yeah, 1260 01:05:24.400 --> 01:05:26.719 they started with their first seven away from home and 1261 01:05:26.760 --> 01:05:30.719 then they dismissed a coach and so you know, not 1262 01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:34.639 necessarily and the lack of patients shown by Joey Supputo, 1263 01:05:34.800 --> 01:05:37.079 which is like, okay, the sun rises, you pay taxes 1264 01:05:37.079 --> 01:05:40.440 in April, and Joey Saputo fires a coach, the you know, 1265 01:05:40.760 --> 01:05:42.880 death and taxes and Joey Supputa pretty much of the 1266 01:05:42.920 --> 01:05:45.679 way things are in Montreal. How stunning is it for 1267 01:05:45.719 --> 01:05:48.199 you to see what's going on with Lag, who are eight. 1268 01:05:48.239 --> 01:05:50.119 He's like the George steimerunner. 1269 01:05:49.679 --> 01:05:53.559 Of yeah he is, he is. 1270 01:05:53.679 --> 01:05:56.079 I don't know who the George Castanza would be in 1271 01:05:56.119 --> 01:05:59.599 that organization currently, just kind of hiding under his death. 1272 01:06:00.079 --> 01:06:00.679 Making the bed. 1273 01:06:01.280 --> 01:06:05.559 But how shocking is it that one player seems to 1274 01:06:05.599 --> 01:06:07.960 be making this much of a difference in La G 1275 01:06:08.280 --> 01:06:11.559 considering they don't have Ricky Pooge. They started the season 1276 01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:15.440 with Joseph painTill injured. He's back, so Gabriel Peck was 1277 01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:18.639 the one. Marco Royce was out. He's back and now injured. Yeah, 1278 01:06:18.719 --> 01:06:20.880 now he's back and injured as he left, and Paintsvill 1279 01:06:20.960 --> 01:06:23.079 left the last match with with dings and we don't 1280 01:06:23.119 --> 01:06:24.679 know how dinged they are. 1281 01:06:24.760 --> 01:06:27.760 But how shocking is this start for you from LA G? 1282 01:06:29.239 --> 01:06:33.559 So you started, you were starting down, I guess, like 1283 01:06:33.639 --> 01:06:35.079 which is more shocking and. 1284 01:06:35.280 --> 01:06:36.719 Kind of sort of But then I looked at Joyce, 1285 01:06:36.760 --> 01:06:40.039 certainly at la Yeah, yeah. 1286 01:06:40.480 --> 01:06:44.159 Because because they were the team, you know, coming off 1287 01:06:44.639 --> 01:06:50.280 a championship, right and and you know, looking like that 1288 01:06:51.199 --> 01:06:55.400 great championship team, and and you know, everyone, you know, 1289 01:06:55.480 --> 01:06:57.840 the whole the whole story about them was all right, well, 1290 01:06:57.920 --> 01:07:02.239 let's just let them get through the early portion of 1291 01:07:02.280 --> 01:07:04.239 the season, and then in the summer Ricky Pooch comes 1292 01:07:04.239 --> 01:07:09.559 back and then they're fine, Well, they've dug themselves so 1293 01:07:10.840 --> 01:07:14.280 big of a hole like they have, you know, just 1294 01:07:14.360 --> 01:07:16.360 to even make the playoffs at this point it would 1295 01:07:16.360 --> 01:07:21.800 seem it would take some sort of a miracle. So 1296 01:07:21.960 --> 01:07:24.840 the wheels falling off there are certainly. 1297 01:07:26.079 --> 01:07:27.559 You know, I don't know, Yeah, I do. 1298 01:07:27.760 --> 01:07:29.000 I think a lot of people. I think a lot 1299 01:07:29.000 --> 01:07:31.400 of people when they saw the makeup and even some 1300 01:07:31.440 --> 01:07:34.960 of the players they lost, were like, you know, maybe 1301 01:07:35.360 --> 01:07:39.000 L A. G. Aren't going to be the same, you know, 1302 01:07:39.079 --> 01:07:42.840 but they're still I don't know, top tier type of team, 1303 01:07:43.039 --> 01:07:48.400 right and and they're they're they're they're battling out in 1304 01:07:48.440 --> 01:07:54.920 that and that spoon uh spoon race with with Montreal, 1305 01:07:55.320 --> 01:07:57.280 and the only the only difference right now is that 1306 01:07:57.320 --> 01:08:00.360 Montreal has scored three less goals than they have it 1307 01:08:00.559 --> 01:08:01.119 eight and three. 1308 01:08:01.719 --> 01:08:04.199 Galaxy have scored eight goals and eleven. They've given up 1309 01:08:04.199 --> 01:08:07.119 twenty one. They're at a minus thirteen in goal difference. 1310 01:08:07.840 --> 01:08:12.119 And you look at Montreal eight and three, they've only 1311 01:08:12.119 --> 01:08:15.800 scored five. Toronto it's you know, it's like, you know, 1312 01:08:16.079 --> 01:08:18.159 north of the border, it's where all the problems are 1313 01:08:18.159 --> 01:08:21.760 except over in the west, within co Toronto and Robin Frasier, 1314 01:08:21.800 --> 01:08:25.119 by all accounts, he's a fantastic coaching, a great guy, 1315 01:08:25.399 --> 01:08:27.560 but he is stuck in a situation right now. Where 1316 01:08:27.600 --> 01:08:29.800 I don't think Toronto knows who they are. They're trying 1317 01:08:29.800 --> 01:08:32.399 to jettison a lot of their high priced talent. But 1318 01:08:33.039 --> 01:08:35.319 outside of the high priced talent, you're kind of going, 1319 01:08:36.239 --> 01:08:40.760 you know, what are you staring at? And then it's 1320 01:08:40.960 --> 01:08:44.800 I mean, you still have everybody you know from Atlanta 1321 01:08:44.800 --> 01:08:47.159 on up. If you have a good week, you're into 1322 01:08:47.199 --> 01:08:51.119 the playoff. Picture Caleb Porter makes a formation change. They've 1323 01:08:51.159 --> 01:08:53.439 caught fire. When we were kicking dirt on Caleb Porter 1324 01:08:54.439 --> 01:08:59.439 and now they're nine red Bulls. They beat Colorado Springs 1325 01:08:59.520 --> 01:09:01.399 last night and Open Cup, but they're a point out. 1326 01:09:01.479 --> 01:09:02.720 Chicago's in a rebuild. 1327 01:09:02.840 --> 01:09:05.640 DC United they won last night an Open Cup with 1328 01:09:05.680 --> 01:09:07.760 Troy La Saine and I figured after what happened in 1329 01:09:07.800 --> 01:09:12.039 San Jose that you know, Troylo Saine and players would 1330 01:09:12.079 --> 01:09:15.399 not have been allowed on the plane after what happened. 1331 01:09:15.439 --> 01:09:18.359 It's like nope, It's like the the lane Kiffin firing 1332 01:09:18.399 --> 01:09:20.880 at USC. Pat Hayden just does it on the tarmac 1333 01:09:20.960 --> 01:09:23.199 and then then the plane takes off and heads back 1334 01:09:23.199 --> 01:09:23.960 to Los Angeles. 1335 01:09:24.000 --> 01:09:26.439 And they have a Gerard Glant too in the NHL. 1336 01:09:26.960 --> 01:09:27.560 Yeah. 1337 01:09:27.680 --> 01:09:30.600 Yeah, there was like a picture of him like getting 1338 01:09:30.600 --> 01:09:31.239 an uber. 1339 01:09:33.079 --> 01:09:37.119 Like, hey, so, I mean, you've got a lot of 1340 01:09:37.159 --> 01:09:39.720 the traditional names up top in the East right now, 1341 01:09:39.760 --> 01:09:42.880 a third of the way through the year, Columbus and 1342 01:09:43.039 --> 01:09:46.279 Philly and Cincy Messian Friends have a match in hand. 1343 01:09:46.439 --> 01:09:48.680 So the fact that they're three points back, you know, 1344 01:09:48.920 --> 01:09:51.079 I still think that Messian Friends have been proven human 1345 01:09:51.119 --> 01:09:53.760 in a couple of points, even though they've lost only 1346 01:09:53.920 --> 01:09:58.520 once in Major League Soccer in the Eastern Conference, Charlotte 1347 01:09:59.479 --> 01:10:01.920 has a ten and see to complain probably more than 1348 01:10:01.960 --> 01:10:05.439 they should, considering Wilf Saha went out on social media 1349 01:10:05.520 --> 01:10:08.000 and he's like, you know, don't you know, don't clap 1350 01:10:08.039 --> 01:10:08.520 back at me. 1351 01:10:09.359 --> 01:10:14.479 Yeah, that was bizarre, Like, I don't I'm not in 1352 01:10:14.680 --> 01:10:21.279 Charlotte right, Like it felt so so early in this 1353 01:10:21.479 --> 01:10:27.800 season to to to bring that noise, like yeah, it's 1354 01:10:27.840 --> 01:10:30.840 not like the forty thousand plus or whatever you have 1355 01:10:30.920 --> 01:10:34.399 at the bank are chanting like Zaha out or something. 1356 01:10:34.199 --> 01:10:36.159 Like yeah, Zaha blanks you know. 1357 01:10:37.960 --> 01:10:40.359 I mean talking, I mean super sensitive. 1358 01:10:40.600 --> 01:10:40.960 Yeah. 1359 01:10:41.199 --> 01:10:44.479 And then Dean Smith, uh, you know, having a gig 1360 01:10:44.520 --> 01:10:49.279 in Charlotte. Not that Dean Smith may may basketball fans 1361 01:10:49.560 --> 01:10:52.439 rest his soul, but uh, you know, when you've got 1362 01:10:52.439 --> 01:10:55.520 a guy named Dean Smith in Charlotte, and then now 1363 01:10:55.600 --> 01:10:58.800 Dean Smith has now started going to complaining about referees 1364 01:10:58.840 --> 01:11:02.479 and he's gone down that now and he's starting to 1365 01:11:02.520 --> 01:11:04.920 clap back. It's like, well, welcome to major league soccer, 1366 01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:06.760 and welcome to major League soccer in the South, sir, 1367 01:11:07.159 --> 01:11:07.880 welcome aboard. 1368 01:11:07.920 --> 01:11:10.039 How are you yeah? 1369 01:11:10.079 --> 01:11:14.279 That's that that that that's not gonna get you anywhere? 1370 01:11:14.439 --> 01:11:16.279 No, no, no it is not. 1371 01:11:16.600 --> 01:11:20.119 And so listen, credit credit goes back. You're mentioning, right, 1372 01:11:20.199 --> 01:11:25.640 credit to Kayleb Porteraman Like to be fair, you know, 1373 01:11:25.800 --> 01:11:32.319 coaches like players have egos, right, some bigger than others. 1374 01:11:32.399 --> 01:11:34.800 And he could have stuck to his guns and said, 1375 01:11:34.800 --> 01:11:36.840 this is who we are. Let's figure it out. You know, 1376 01:11:38.119 --> 01:11:39.840 if the players I have on the field can't play 1377 01:11:39.880 --> 01:11:42.600 the way that I want, we'll get new players. But 1378 01:11:42.680 --> 01:11:47.239 he he uh, he recognized the necessity to change the 1379 01:11:47.279 --> 01:11:51.880 way that he wants to play. Yeah, and he's gotten 1380 01:11:51.920 --> 01:11:55.279 results out of it, right, Like, I mean, look, you know, 1381 01:11:55.319 --> 01:11:58.239 if you want to go glass half empty, you know, 1382 01:11:58.439 --> 01:12:01.279 has the opposition been really really good that they've played, No, 1383 01:12:01.520 --> 01:12:08.119 not really, but they have cleaned it up defensively and 1384 01:12:08.199 --> 01:12:12.079 they've allowed Carlos Heel to do what he does best, 1385 01:12:12.079 --> 01:12:14.800 which is rome and get free and and and just 1386 01:12:14.880 --> 01:12:16.520 be a creative force. 1387 01:12:17.680 --> 01:12:19.760 Be free, be free, Carlos Heel. 1388 01:12:19.840 --> 01:12:22.279 That's it, that's it. Let him, Let him be free 1389 01:12:22.319 --> 01:12:23.000 like a butterfly. 1390 01:12:23.199 --> 01:12:23.520 Yeah. 1391 01:12:26.319 --> 01:12:30.079 Uh so we know the combination of the defensive solidity 1392 01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:35.760 and the free roaming Heel has resulted in what four 1393 01:12:35.800 --> 01:12:40.000 straight wins, right like, so super impressive by them, for sure. 1394 01:12:40.119 --> 01:12:42.399 Well, but and you look at the numbers, it's like 1395 01:12:42.520 --> 01:12:45.279 it's one nil, it's one one, it's it's it's not 1396 01:12:45.960 --> 01:12:49.880 it's not the glossy stuff. They've only scored nine goals. 1397 01:12:50.159 --> 01:12:52.600 And I mean you take obviously the first couple of 1398 01:12:52.640 --> 01:12:57.000 matches where they were throwing up clunkers, and you end 1399 01:12:57.119 --> 01:12:58.920 up with not all they have only scored nine goals 1400 01:12:58.920 --> 01:13:02.640 in ten matches. But at the same time they's only 1401 01:13:02.640 --> 01:13:05.800 giving up seven. So it's one of the best defenses 1402 01:13:05.840 --> 01:13:09.560 that we've seen so far, regardless of schedule, in not 1403 01:13:09.640 --> 01:13:13.000 allowing goals. And you've scored enough to get you by 1404 01:13:13.119 --> 01:13:15.840 and so right now you're slightly above five hundred and 1405 01:13:15.880 --> 01:13:18.680 you're you know, north of the playoff bar, so you know, 1406 01:13:18.720 --> 01:13:20.720 you tip your hat to the adjustment so far from 1407 01:13:20.760 --> 01:13:24.680 what we've seen, even though it's not it ain't glossy, 1408 01:13:24.159 --> 01:13:27.239 and they're not going to get into you know, they're 1409 01:13:27.279 --> 01:13:30.439 not getting into that top tier of the East anytime 1410 01:13:30.520 --> 01:13:30.960 soon either. 1411 01:13:31.159 --> 01:13:38.199 Yeah, So that's that's a hard Like you mentioned Miami, Columbus, 1412 01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:42.039 you know, Cincinnati, like those are, that's a that's a 1413 01:13:42.119 --> 01:13:45.920 tough Like I wouldn't have Charlotte up there. I think 1414 01:13:45.920 --> 01:13:49.720 they're a second tier right now, maybe top of that 1415 01:13:49.800 --> 01:13:55.279 second tier, but yeah, I like New England is probably 1416 01:13:55.479 --> 01:13:57.119 you know, they're in that second tier, but I think 1417 01:13:57.159 --> 01:14:01.680 they're you know a little bit middle to to towards 1418 01:14:01.760 --> 01:14:02.319 the top of that. 1419 01:14:02.680 --> 01:14:05.960 Has Philly surprised you with Bradley Parnell coming in as 1420 01:14:06.479 --> 01:14:08.720 Red Bulls Light and doing what they're doing. 1421 01:14:09.479 --> 01:14:13.319 And especially when they when they look like, you know, 1422 01:14:13.359 --> 01:14:15.199 they were just having a yard sale out there, just 1423 01:14:15.239 --> 01:14:19.239 selling off all their parts and trying to sell some 1424 01:14:19.359 --> 01:14:21.199 lemonade while they're at it, like, you know, get it, 1425 01:14:21.239 --> 01:14:27.680 get as much money as you can. But yeah, no, absolutely, Now, 1426 01:14:27.760 --> 01:14:31.840 like any energy drink model, is it sustainable right, like 1427 01:14:31.840 --> 01:14:36.960 like like the beverage that you know, we've we've come 1428 01:14:36.960 --> 01:14:38.560 to known about energy drink what you know, what what 1429 01:14:38.680 --> 01:14:40.960 is what energy drinks do? Right, Like they give you 1430 01:14:41.000 --> 01:14:43.600 that that energy for a certain amount of time and 1431 01:14:43.600 --> 01:14:48.199 then it's and then it's you know, then you crash. Right, 1432 01:14:48.359 --> 01:14:53.479 So you know whether your energy drink is for you 1433 01:14:53.600 --> 01:14:57.880 mountain dew or you know, something with a little more 1434 01:14:57.880 --> 01:15:01.039 caffeine in it, like a red Bull. But uh yeah, 1435 01:15:01.039 --> 01:15:05.000 that's so it is that sustainable through the season. But 1436 01:15:05.159 --> 01:15:07.680 to this point one hundred percent, you know, like they 1437 01:15:10.119 --> 01:15:15.079 I would have had them either below the line or 1438 01:15:15.159 --> 01:15:18.039 right near the line or somewhere around there, you know, 1439 01:15:19.920 --> 01:15:24.399 trying to trying to keep their head above water at 1440 01:15:24.399 --> 01:15:27.279 this point, and and they far exceeded what I thought. 1441 01:15:27.600 --> 01:15:30.880 And you know what I think, Uh, I think a 1442 01:15:30.880 --> 01:15:33.319 big credit needs to go to Carnal then, right, like 1443 01:15:34.079 --> 01:15:37.920 uh he was he was an interim in New York. 1444 01:15:38.520 --> 01:15:41.159 Uh he goes to Saint Louis, has success there, but 1445 01:15:41.159 --> 01:15:44.960 he's jettisons and now he's found new life there and 1446 01:15:45.000 --> 01:15:47.000 he's and he's proven you know, like look, you know 1447 01:15:47.039 --> 01:15:49.439 that that that he's that he's a quality coach. 1448 01:15:50.399 --> 01:15:52.600 And so we've seen that so far so far, and 1449 01:15:53.560 --> 01:15:56.000 just looking at the sheer offensive numbers that you see 1450 01:15:56.039 --> 01:15:57.760 out of Philadelphia. You sit there and you go, what 1451 01:15:58.399 --> 01:16:00.680 you know, ty barbou getting the It's like, what have 1452 01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:03.199 you done with Phillies offense? And what is this Phillies 1453 01:16:03.239 --> 01:16:04.359 offense that we're staring at? 1454 01:16:04.359 --> 01:16:04.520 Here? 1455 01:16:04.560 --> 01:16:07.840 Were there twenty one goals averaging to a match only 1456 01:16:07.880 --> 01:16:11.079 giving up ten with Blake and Andrew and with Blake 1457 01:16:11.119 --> 01:16:14.119 and Rick and net So I mean, right now Philly's 1458 01:16:14.119 --> 01:16:16.680 hanging around to stay. But I know that you're looking 1459 01:16:16.760 --> 01:16:21.359 at the post energy drink consumption crash because there's gonna 1460 01:16:21.399 --> 01:16:23.680 be that time where you're gonna have to do things 1461 01:16:23.680 --> 01:16:28.680 philosophically and can you is it sustainable over a full 1462 01:16:28.720 --> 01:16:31.600 thirty four matches? Dylan Butler mlosccer dot com dropping by 1463 01:16:31.640 --> 01:16:34.880 talking about everything going on in MLS because if he 1464 01:16:34.920 --> 01:16:37.000 was at MLS Soccer dot com and we're talking about 1465 01:16:37.000 --> 01:16:40.720 something entirely different than that might be an issue. I mean, 1466 01:16:41.159 --> 01:16:43.479 then you look at the West and I know that 1467 01:16:43.560 --> 01:16:47.560 we man, we were all kicking dirt on Vancouver. You 1468 01:16:47.600 --> 01:16:50.239 get rid of any Sartini, but now I think that 1469 01:16:50.319 --> 01:16:53.840 at the same time, you give Sartini his props for 1470 01:16:53.880 --> 01:16:56.880 what he assembled. And then yes, ber Sorenson, who has 1471 01:16:56.920 --> 01:17:01.119 come in now and you're look, you're you're still rolling 1472 01:17:01.199 --> 01:17:03.560 and rolling and rolling. You've only lost once so far 1473 01:17:03.600 --> 01:17:06.039 this season, in your first eleven. You're going all the 1474 01:17:06.039 --> 01:17:09.039 way to the end of the Conka Caff Hemispheric Extravaganza, 1475 01:17:09.439 --> 01:17:11.720 and you're still trotting out for the most part, you're 1476 01:17:11.760 --> 01:17:14.600 trotting out. You're same starting eleven each and every single time. 1477 01:17:14.960 --> 01:17:17.199 You're you have not lost. 1478 01:17:17.560 --> 01:17:20.760 Your one loss came at home, where you are five 1479 01:17:20.840 --> 01:17:24.960 and one this year. Vancouver. For me, we mentioned Philadelphia 1480 01:17:24.960 --> 01:17:28.239 being a surprise in the Eastern Conference. I think Vancouver 1481 01:17:28.399 --> 01:17:30.800 is a surprise in the Western Conference to the extent 1482 01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:32.800 with where they are right now seven points clear of 1483 01:17:32.800 --> 01:17:36.359 everybody else, but a shocker out of the blocks with 1484 01:17:36.439 --> 01:17:38.600 them that they have been able to accomplish all of 1485 01:17:38.600 --> 01:17:41.239 this stuff under a new coach, with a philosophy, with 1486 01:17:41.319 --> 01:17:45.039 pretty much most of the same players from last year, and. 1487 01:17:45.000 --> 01:17:51.479 With injuries and with uh Conca calf right, like, these 1488 01:17:51.520 --> 01:17:53.600 are not supposed These are not things that are supposed 1489 01:17:53.640 --> 01:17:53.960 to happen. 1490 01:17:54.720 --> 01:17:58.680 Yes, team these things is not like the other No, 1491 01:18:01.119 --> 01:18:01.840 So yeah, huge. 1492 01:18:01.760 --> 01:18:06.000 Huge credit Sorenson. I mean, you know, if it was, 1493 01:18:06.920 --> 01:18:11.239 it's not. But if it was Awards season, he would 1494 01:18:11.239 --> 01:18:16.119 have to be certainly the coach of the Year and 1495 01:18:16.199 --> 01:18:19.479 you probably can can can you know you'd have a 1496 01:18:19.520 --> 01:18:23.079 shout for maybe three different best eleven type guys right 1497 01:18:23.159 --> 01:18:27.840 on that team, with uh, with White, you know, with 1498 01:18:27.960 --> 01:18:33.079 black Men, with even even Vita. Now you know me, 1499 01:18:33.199 --> 01:18:36.319 like we we've we've had this conversation, you know, every 1500 01:18:36.960 --> 01:18:39.560 every week for a few years, and and I've been 1501 01:18:40.399 --> 01:18:44.960 on that Vancouver train for a while, but not to 1502 01:18:45.000 --> 01:18:49.439 this extent. I'm not no, I'm absolutely not saying I 1503 01:18:49.640 --> 01:18:52.359 saw this at all. I thought they were a very 1504 01:18:52.399 --> 01:18:55.840 good team. I liked their parts. I was worried like 1505 01:18:55.960 --> 01:19:05.600 most when Sartini left. Granted I didn't know anything about Sorenson, ah, 1506 01:19:06.760 --> 01:19:09.840 but for sure for them to do what they've done. 1507 01:19:10.520 --> 01:19:14.960 Brian Gold, now you know who I thought for for 1508 01:19:15.000 --> 01:19:16.880 so long was one of the most underrated players in 1509 01:19:16.880 --> 01:19:21.319 the league. Brian White the same. It's pretty funny now 1510 01:19:21.520 --> 01:19:23.800 like with White scoring the way that he's scoring in 1511 01:19:23.880 --> 01:19:28.159 multiple competitions, like you know, you start to get into 1512 01:19:28.199 --> 01:19:31.720 that best if you're Vancouver or worst if you're the 1513 01:19:31.760 --> 01:19:35.720 Red Bulls trades of all time kind of talks, right, 1514 01:19:35.760 --> 01:19:40.680 because since Brian White left and what was that for? 1515 01:19:40.880 --> 01:19:43.720 Was it four hundred thousand? I think it was all right? 1516 01:19:43.720 --> 01:19:47.119 Hang on, so I will I will search Brian White 1517 01:19:47.439 --> 01:19:50.239 to Vancouver Transaction. 1518 01:19:50.359 --> 01:19:52.640 When I say it's like four hundred. 1519 01:19:54.239 --> 01:19:58.920 Thousand, gam okay, yes, you were correct, sir. 1520 01:19:59.079 --> 01:20:03.560 It is in June of twenty twenty one. Two. 1521 01:20:04.880 --> 01:20:08.720 Thank you, Brian, four hundred thousand in gam and you 1522 01:20:08.760 --> 01:20:10.960 could also if your Red Bulls receive an additional one 1523 01:20:11.000 --> 01:20:14.000 hundred thousand if White meets certain performance based metrics. 1524 01:20:14.000 --> 01:20:17.479 Of course this was all has sick dated June second 1525 01:20:17.479 --> 01:20:18.239 of twenty twenty one. 1526 01:20:18.279 --> 01:20:20.640 Don't know what the h don't know what the expiration 1527 01:20:20.760 --> 01:20:23.640 date was on those performance based metrics, but if. 1528 01:20:23.760 --> 01:20:25.279 Well, he was doing it from the very beginning though, 1529 01:20:25.319 --> 01:20:28.920 I mean like he And that's the thing, right, like 1530 01:20:29.039 --> 01:20:35.920 who's who's been knowing? It's been a revolving door at 1531 01:20:35.920 --> 01:20:39.119 that position for the Red Bulls since he left, there 1532 01:20:39.199 --> 01:20:43.640 hasn't They haven't found that guy, you know White? You know, 1533 01:20:43.720 --> 01:20:47.720 I go back that was when I was like regularly 1534 01:20:47.760 --> 01:20:50.159 covering the Red Bulls and you know, if you remember, 1535 01:20:50.199 --> 01:20:54.079 he was the guy filling in for BWP, right like 1536 01:20:54.159 --> 01:20:59.279 BWP was injured his last year with Red Bulls and 1537 01:20:59.279 --> 01:21:01.520 and Brian White came in and you know, just that 1538 01:21:01.600 --> 01:21:05.119 hard working Jersey kid and just had a nose for 1539 01:21:05.199 --> 01:21:10.359 goal and but just severely underrated and and now you 1540 01:21:10.399 --> 01:21:15.199 know only does his score goals in a variety of 1541 01:21:15.239 --> 01:21:19.520 ways in different competitions as well. So yeah, huge credits 1542 01:21:19.520 --> 01:21:24.439 to Vancouver. It's it's actually funny because you know, we're 1543 01:21:24.520 --> 01:21:30.159 getting close to like rivalry week in MLS and and 1544 01:21:30.239 --> 01:21:31.960 you know, it made me think the other day about 1545 01:21:32.000 --> 01:21:36.439 Cascadia and how for how many years now has the 1546 01:21:36.760 --> 01:21:41.840 Cascadie conversation been only Seattle and Portland, right like Vancouver's 1547 01:21:41.880 --> 01:21:43.840 been like that other like the little brother on. 1548 01:21:43.800 --> 01:21:46.039 The side Vancouver. 1549 01:21:46.159 --> 01:21:48.239 Yeah, yeah, yeah, you're not with us, you know, like 1550 01:21:48.560 --> 01:21:50.840 you know, go go play in the sand over there. 1551 01:21:51.439 --> 01:21:53.359 Just sit over at the small table in the other 1552 01:21:53.479 --> 01:21:55.760 in the in the foyer while you eat. 1553 01:21:56.279 --> 01:21:56.960 Yeah exactly. 1554 01:21:57.279 --> 01:21:57.520 Uh. 1555 01:21:57.560 --> 01:21:59.800 And now they're at the big table right like. And 1556 01:21:59.800 --> 01:22:03.479 and I think and Portland's starting to play better and 1557 01:22:03.560 --> 01:22:06.800 Seattle starting to play better. So I think a lot 1558 01:22:06.800 --> 01:22:09.720 of heat on Cascadie this year. I think that's gonna 1559 01:22:09.720 --> 01:22:10.720 be a lot of fun between the three of. 1560 01:22:10.720 --> 01:22:14.960 Those eight goals allowed. So far this season by Vancouver 1561 01:22:15.640 --> 01:22:17.560 taka Oka. Right now, he's going to be in the 1562 01:22:17.600 --> 01:22:22.079 discussion obviously for Golden Glove with their defense eight one 1563 01:22:22.159 --> 01:22:24.479 and two out of the blocks, goal difference of plus 1564 01:22:24.520 --> 01:22:27.279 fourteen score twenty two and only given up eight Minnesota. 1565 01:22:27.319 --> 01:22:32.119 Speaking of giving up possession, Minnesota thinks the ball's got cooties, 1566 01:22:33.279 --> 01:22:36.640 and Eric Ramsey doesn't want it, is like, nah, not 1567 01:22:36.680 --> 01:22:39.720 feeling it. And so Minnesota they had I think they 1568 01:22:39.720 --> 01:22:44.840 had possession against Austin a third of the time and 1569 01:22:45.119 --> 01:22:49.800 insert Austin joke here, but you end up with a 1570 01:22:49.840 --> 01:22:52.319 three zero win on your chances. And we talked literally 1571 01:22:52.359 --> 01:22:54.520 at the beginning of our conversation this week, we were 1572 01:22:54.520 --> 01:22:58.119 talking about Austin and og being the second leading goal 1573 01:22:58.159 --> 01:23:01.279 scorer for Austin, and you dropped all that money on 1574 01:23:02.000 --> 01:23:06.880 the three up top with Bukari Uzuni and US Open 1575 01:23:06.960 --> 01:23:12.359 Cup hero Brandon Vasquez down here in Atlanta, and you've 1576 01:23:12.399 --> 01:23:17.000 got four goals from three dudes who you've dropped I 1577 01:23:17.039 --> 01:23:21.319 want to say, twenty five million on and bringing the 1578 01:23:21.319 --> 01:23:24.399 three of the man and it right now just is 1579 01:23:24.439 --> 01:23:28.920 not happening under Nico Estevez and literally you're like, yikes, 1580 01:23:28.960 --> 01:23:32.359 you've You've only scored seven goals in eleven matches this year, 1581 01:23:32.760 --> 01:23:34.880 you've given up almost twice as many. Just think about 1582 01:23:34.880 --> 01:23:37.159 how Austin would be if they didn't have Brad Steuben. 1583 01:23:37.399 --> 01:23:41.279 And yeah, well and we saw the worst of him 1584 01:23:41.279 --> 01:23:47.560 this past weekend with a a rare howler from him. 1585 01:23:47.600 --> 01:23:50.520 But it's funny, right, Like, so the inverse is here 1586 01:23:51.600 --> 01:23:56.880 all the heat on Cascadia, Yeah, Copatejas not so much. 1587 01:23:58.359 --> 01:24:01.560 It's like it's like, you guys want to win this.

And you know, 1606 01:24:46.439 --> 01:24:50.720 once again, everybody is within short of the team at 1607 01:24:50.760 --> 01:24:52.479 the bottom, lag and short of the team at the 1608 01:24:52.479 --> 01:24:55.439 bottom Montreal.

To your point, Copetea is just. 1614 01:25:12.000 --> 01:25:15.720 Kind of like maybe maybe a little later, just but 1615 01:25:15.920 --> 01:25:19.520 not right now, just not feeling it's just it's just the. 1616 01:25:19.279 --> 01:25:21.239 What I've been a fan of for for for a 1617 01:25:21.239 --> 01:25:26.039 while and I think it's what's that you a fan of? 1618 01:25:26.079 --> 01:25:31.880 COVID No, No, I've well, we've spoken a few times 1619 01:25:31.880 --> 01:25:36.680 about the Canadian classique, although not so much this year, 1620 01:25:36.840 --> 01:25:39.479 not so much. But Rocky Mountain Cup for me, is 1621 01:25:39.479 --> 01:25:42.479 always delivered. Like that's a fun one, yeah for sure, 1622 01:25:42.640 --> 01:25:45.239 Like that's kind of like a low key you know 1623 01:25:45.279 --> 01:25:51.720 everyone you know traffic, oh sure, and but yeah, like 1624 01:25:51.800 --> 01:25:54.239 Rocky Mountain Cup is always in like the in like 1625 01:25:54.319 --> 01:25:57.319 the weirdest ways, like just always delivers a lot of fun. 1626 01:25:57.680 --> 01:26:01.399 Mm hm and uh speaking of a spansion. By the way, 1627 01:26:01.600 --> 01:26:05.199 as two hockey guys, it is now officially the Utah Mammoth. 1628 01:26:05.279 --> 01:26:08.560 And I like the black I like the black sweater 1629 01:26:08.640 --> 01:26:09.640 for the Utah Mammoth. 1630 01:26:09.640 --> 01:26:11.399 That's very very I didn't see that, but I'm seeing 1631 01:26:11.399 --> 01:26:14.359 it now on your phone. Yeah, I like the Mammoth. 1632 01:26:15.640 --> 01:26:18.680 Just released that they are the Utah Mammoth apparently now, 1633 01:26:18.760 --> 01:26:22.960 as according to Greg Rushinsky, is about a half hour ago. 1634 01:26:23.479 --> 01:26:24.159 San Diego. 1635 01:26:24.760 --> 01:26:27.399 You know, like I said, Minnesota thinks the balls got cooties. 1636 01:26:27.439 --> 01:26:29.600 They don't want it, but right now, possession numbers don't 1637 01:26:29.640 --> 01:26:31.880 care because if you're a second in the ladder, that's 1638 01:26:31.880 --> 01:26:34.439 all that matters. In the West San Diego, I thought 1639 01:26:34.439 --> 01:26:36.079 they regressed to the mean a little bit, and I 1640 01:26:36.079 --> 01:26:40.640 think they played better without Chuky Lozano. And they're now 1641 01:26:40.680 --> 01:26:43.279 that Chuky is back. You're you know, you're fourth right now, 1642 01:26:43.319 --> 01:26:47.079 ahead of LAFC and Seattle probably, you know, with all 1643 01:26:47.079 --> 01:26:48.520 of their injuries, they got to figure out how to 1644 01:26:48.600 --> 01:26:50.840 navigate Jordan Morris. We'll find out more about that tomorrow. 1645 01:26:50.840 --> 01:26:53.800 When you look at the rest of the West Bruce Arena. 1646 01:26:53.880 --> 01:26:55.760 You don't know which San Jose you're getting on a 1647 01:26:55.840 --> 01:26:56.920 daily bab there. 1648 01:26:58.119 --> 01:27:00.399 They might be the most fun. Why if you're a 1649 01:27:00.439 --> 01:27:03.880 neutral like we are. Yeah, and if you're gonna be 1650 01:27:03.920 --> 01:27:07.359 up anyway, like the most fun watch out there, man, 1651 01:27:07.399 --> 01:27:10.560 because they they just played drunk soccer. Yes, it's just 1652 01:27:10.880 --> 01:27:12.720 that's like a that's like a pick, that's likek a 1653 01:27:12.760 --> 01:27:17.199 beer league hockey game every every week. 1654 01:27:17.760 --> 01:27:19.039 I'm just going out there. 1655 01:27:19.079 --> 01:27:22.239 They're scoring goals, they're giving up goals. 1656 01:27:21.720 --> 01:27:24.640 Like, yes, I mean it's well, they have the best 1657 01:27:24.680 --> 01:27:28.920 offense in Major League Soccer at twenty four goals scored, 1658 01:27:29.439 --> 01:27:31.520 and I'm counting. I'm counting to see how many teams 1659 01:27:31.560 --> 01:27:37.399 have given up more goals too. Let's see three four. 1660 01:27:38.319 --> 01:27:42.159 So they have the fifth worst defense, So that puts 1661 01:27:42.239 --> 01:27:47.399 them at twenty fifth, twenty fourth, twenty fifth and Major 1662 01:27:47.479 --> 01:27:49.840 League Soccer in defense, but they're number one in offense. 1663 01:27:50.399 --> 01:27:52.520 And so that's what you're getting with all of these 1664 01:27:52.600 --> 01:27:55.079 folks that have been thrown together the island of misfit 1665 01:27:55.159 --> 01:27:56.279 offense in San Jose. 1666 01:27:56.840 --> 01:27:58.920 And if you were, if you're a fan of the Quakes, 1667 01:27:58.960 --> 01:28:00.760 I'm sure you just banging your head against the wall 1668 01:28:00.840 --> 01:28:01.760 every single match. 1669 01:28:02.079 --> 01:28:04.800 You're just You're like, Bruce Arena was supposed to give 1670 01:28:04.880 --> 01:28:06.800 us all of this stuff, and he's like, well, I've 1671 01:28:06.800 --> 01:28:07.560 given you all this stuff. 1672 01:28:07.560 --> 01:28:08.159 Were the revs. 1673 01:28:08.159 --> 01:28:10.239 West and we have all of this offense, but you're 1674 01:28:10.279 --> 01:28:12.039 giving up so damn many goals. 1675 01:28:12.199 --> 01:28:14.319 Yeah, but we're you know, we're scoring a lot. 1676 01:28:15.880 --> 01:28:19.319 I mean, that's it's that's the crazy part with San 1677 01:28:19.399 --> 01:28:22.000 Jose right now. Kansas City has actually found their sea 1678 01:28:22.039 --> 01:28:25.199 legs a little bit under Kerry Z where they were 1679 01:28:25.239 --> 01:28:27.000 at the bottom and they were kind of trying to 1680 01:28:27.000 --> 01:28:28.760 figure out how to get rid of the cement shoes 1681 01:28:28.800 --> 01:28:30.399 and they kind of done that. Over the last couple 1682 01:28:30.439 --> 01:28:34.079 of weeks. We mentioned what happened with this week in 1683 01:28:34.239 --> 01:28:37.920 MLS history, and I think Mayo Yoshida face is probably 1684 01:28:37.960 --> 01:28:40.560 going to turn into a either a new gift or 1685 01:28:40.560 --> 01:28:41.000 a new. 1686 01:28:40.880 --> 01:28:42.039 Meme going forward. 1687 01:28:42.119 --> 01:28:44.439 So not even a shot on target Mayoshida and og 1688 01:28:44.560 --> 01:28:45.560 and you come up with three points. 1689 01:28:45.560 --> 01:28:46.960 But that's what it takes sometimes. 1690 01:28:48.840 --> 01:28:51.039 Whatever whatever by any means. 1691 01:28:51.399 --> 01:28:56.800 Any means necessary except all right, So, my friend, what's 1692 01:28:56.840 --> 01:28:59.560 going on with you this weekend?

So it's a really cool thing to 1752 01:32:16.000 --> 01:32:19.600 keep him, to keep him alive and his memory alive, 1753 01:32:19.640 --> 01:32:24.479 and you know, for the for the Army Rangers lead 1754 01:32:24.479 --> 01:32:26.840 the Way Foundation as well, So it's good stuff. 1755 01:32:26.960 --> 01:32:29.399 Varsity Media on the YouTube's Yes. 1756 01:32:29.199 --> 01:32:32.000 It will be four a'clock on Saturday. 1757 01:32:32.199 --> 01:32:38.199 Awesome, Well, get your rest, get your nap in because 1758 01:32:38.239 --> 01:32:40.560 of the magic of the open Cup tonight as always, 1759 01:32:40.560 --> 01:32:43.319 my friend, great to see. Don't be a stranger, drop 1760 01:32:43.359 --> 01:32:45.399 in whenever because you get the Keys to the Kingdom 1761 01:32:45.399 --> 01:32:46.920 in the garage door opener, so you know how to 1762 01:32:46.920 --> 01:32:47.479 get in the house. 1763 01:32:47.680 --> 01:32:50.159 Yeah, cheers, All right, there he goes. It's a Dylan. 1764 01:32:50.239 --> 01:32:51.960 So Dylan is going to go rest up because he's 1765 01:32:52.000 --> 01:32:54.439 got the magic of the open cup tonight. Speaking of 1766 01:32:54.439 --> 01:32:56.079 the magic of the open Cup, let's go over our 1767 01:32:56.119 --> 01:32:58.840 juice boxes and our surprises that we think may happen 1768 01:32:59.199 --> 01:33:02.880 last night, just to give you an idea about what 1769 01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:03.640 went down. 1770 01:33:03.800 --> 01:33:04.239 It was. 1771 01:33:04.640 --> 01:33:08.399 It was fairly chalkish, but it was scary at times 1772 01:33:08.439 --> 01:33:15.560 because Charlotte decided that they wanted to rotate and it 1773 01:33:15.800 --> 01:33:20.159 almost turned out to be catastrophic. So the lineup last 1774 01:33:20.279 --> 01:33:24.359 night for them in an eventual for to one win. 1775 01:33:24.520 --> 01:33:26.199 It was an eventual for one win, but it took 1776 01:33:26.279 --> 01:33:29.520 him north of ninety minutes to get there, tied at 1777 01:33:29.560 --> 01:33:33.960 one after ninety North Carolina FC did not score in 1778 01:33:34.199 --> 01:33:35.439 the following thirty. 1779 01:33:36.119 --> 01:33:37.119 But here's the. 1780 01:33:37.039 --> 01:33:41.399 Lineup that Charlotte decided to tempt fate with last night. 1781 01:33:42.920 --> 01:33:45.119 And obviously when you get to tempt fate with somebody 1782 01:33:45.199 --> 01:33:50.039 like Patrick Ajimong, that's never a bad thing. So the 1783 01:33:50.119 --> 01:33:57.239 lineup once again, David Bingham started in net last night Jaquill, Marshall, Ruddy, 1784 01:33:57.279 --> 01:34:02.880 Andrew Privett, built Tuoe Looma, wore the captain's armband, Nick Scardina, 1785 01:34:03.039 --> 01:34:08.039 Jabril Diani, Eric Williamson, You'ury Tavares, Tiger Smalls, Edentoe Klamatti 1786 01:34:08.079 --> 01:34:12.039 and Crowin Vargas. That was your starting lineup last night 1787 01:34:12.119 --> 01:34:17.239 for Dean Smith and Charlotte. That was how much you 1788 01:34:17.359 --> 01:34:22.119 thought you could handle in North Carolina FC. Your bench Leilabada, 1789 01:34:22.159 --> 01:34:26.760 Patrick Godjamong, Brent Bronico, Mar's Neely Petkovich and Tim Reen. 1790 01:34:27.239 --> 01:34:31.800 You had a seven person bench last night in open Cup, 1791 01:34:32.199 --> 01:34:36.760 so you played you had eighteen, including a backup keeper. 1792 01:34:37.520 --> 01:34:43.640 But your starting lineup last night did not include your 1793 01:34:43.720 --> 01:34:48.720 number one keeper Bingham, Marshall, Ruddy, Privet, Toy Lomas, Guardina, 1794 01:34:48.840 --> 01:34:53.840 Diane Williamson, Youry Tavares, Tiger Smalls, Edentoeklamati and Crowin Vargas. 1795 01:34:54.319 --> 01:34:57.079 And you had to bring in Patrick Godgimong to help 1796 01:34:57.119 --> 01:34:59.199 you out in that final thirty minutes to get the duke. 1797 01:35:01.079 --> 01:35:03.960 You tempted fate, Sir. You almost flew too close to 1798 01:35:04.000 --> 01:35:09.279 the sun. You almost flew too close to the sun. 1799 01:35:11.720 --> 01:35:14.279 You ended up getting the win. Took extra time to 1800 01:35:14.279 --> 01:35:16.359 do it. You won four to one. Ninety minute draw 1801 01:35:16.439 --> 01:35:20.000 was a plus two thirty eight DC United. I guess, Dell, 1802 01:35:20.039 --> 01:35:22.680 here's the conversation for open cups. So if you feel 1803 01:35:23.279 --> 01:35:26.640 compelled to turn away and hit mute, feel free. DC 1804 01:35:26.800 --> 01:35:29.239 United beat Charleston. You can see Dell's comments in the 1805 01:35:29.279 --> 01:35:32.760 twitch pitch about how they played better than DC. D 1806 01:35:32.960 --> 01:35:35.720 C was a plus two sixty two on the ninety 1807 01:35:35.760 --> 01:35:39.359 minute draw, so either way. Nashville scored early in the 1808 01:35:39.359 --> 01:35:43.439 first half. They won one nil at Giotis against Chattanooga 1809 01:35:43.479 --> 01:35:45.840 Red Wolves. Chattanooga red Wolves had a red so they 1810 01:35:45.880 --> 01:35:48.680 played most of the match with ten. Nashville did just 1811 01:35:48.800 --> 01:35:53.000 enough to win Red Bulls. As we figured, if they 1812 01:35:53.039 --> 01:35:54.920 scored early, it was not going to be a problem. 1813 01:35:54.960 --> 01:35:55.359 It was not. 1814 01:35:55.600 --> 01:35:57.680 They beat switched back so to plus one zero six 1815 01:35:57.760 --> 01:36:00.119 y four to one. Then the chaos that happened eight 1816 01:36:00.279 --> 01:36:05.239 last night was a starfire as we anticipated, and it 1817 01:36:05.279 --> 01:36:10.880 was almost what we anticipated anticipating was gonna happen. One 1818 01:36:10.960 --> 01:36:15.680 nil lead for Portland, second half, Tacoma Defiance scores twice 1819 01:36:15.720 --> 01:36:17.600 in three minutes to take a two to one lead. 1820 01:36:18.680 --> 01:36:22.680 Then late you get an equalizer and then you get 1821 01:36:22.720 --> 01:36:26.680 another goal for Portland before they were done. Portland wins 1822 01:36:26.720 --> 01:36:30.399 it three to two at a minus three twelve. But 1823 01:36:30.520 --> 01:36:34.920 it goes a little deeper than that. After the match, 1824 01:36:37.359 --> 01:36:41.600 catching up with the head coach of Tacoma Defiance ever Ads, 1825 01:36:42.159 --> 01:36:45.039 here are his comments about the match in and of itself. 1826 01:36:45.039 --> 01:36:47.039 And this comes from our friends at Sounder at Hart 1827 01:36:47.039 --> 01:36:50.039 and we'll talk to our buddy Nico moreno more about 1828 01:36:50.039 --> 01:36:54.720 this tomorrow, but here's what happened after the match. Postmatch 1829 01:36:54.760 --> 01:36:59.079 comments from Tacoma Defiance head coach ever Ads see. 1830 01:36:58.920 --> 01:37:00.920 Maybe go forward with with what happened. 1831 01:37:01.119 --> 01:37:03.279 Well, no, I mean, I'm gonna speak to Wade and Henry. 1832 01:37:03.319 --> 01:37:05.279 I'm like they have to have a conversation. Okay, yes, 1833 01:37:05.279 --> 01:37:06.279 they can't change the result. 1834 01:37:06.359 --> 01:37:10.359 But we have that riff. We have the same the 1835 01:37:10.359 --> 01:37:12.720 same problem. So it is but you guys have experienced 1836 01:37:12.720 --> 01:37:13.640 that with that guy in the past. 1837 01:37:13.720 --> 01:37:15.640 We've had we've had experiences with this. 1838 01:37:15.760 --> 01:37:18.000 So when he when he was a sit there riff, 1839 01:37:18.039 --> 01:37:19.279 we knew that we were going to get a lot 1840 01:37:19.319 --> 01:37:21.560 of goals and as we saw today, we didn't. 1841 01:37:21.319 --> 01:37:23.039 Get a lot of goals either. So it is what 1842 01:37:23.119 --> 01:37:23.439 it is. 1843 01:37:25.159 --> 01:37:29.079 Obviously an MLS next pro team playing against an MLS team. 1844 01:37:29.199 --> 01:37:31.520 They fielded a lot of MLS guys. 1845 01:37:32.680 --> 01:37:35.239 The level of competition is a tough one. 1846 01:37:35.359 --> 01:37:38.680 I think, looking particular at your two center backs, two 1847 01:37:39.119 --> 01:37:41.960 young eighteen year old guys against Kevin Kelsey, who is 1848 01:37:42.000 --> 01:37:42.880 a big money. 1849 01:37:42.600 --> 01:37:44.640 Signing for Cincinnati before he came to. 1850 01:37:44.600 --> 01:37:46.760 The Timbers, how did you feel like your guys stacked 1851 01:37:46.800 --> 01:37:47.359 up against. 1852 01:37:47.279 --> 01:37:48.760 Well, I'll tell you what Kevin told me after the 1853 01:37:48.760 --> 01:37:50.359 game when he came me shake my hand. He said, Hey, 1854 01:37:50.399 --> 01:37:53.319 don't don't be discouraged by that. Your to me is very, 1855 01:37:53.399 --> 01:37:55.399 very good, and he felt it because most of the 1856 01:37:55.439 --> 01:37:57.680 game he didn't do anything, but he only showed up 1857 01:37:58.159 --> 01:38:00.439 for the penalty and he's a big time striking. Like 1858 01:38:01.079 --> 01:38:04.199 I'm so proud of my guys, Sonny, we were so 1859 01:38:04.319 --> 01:38:04.960 good in that game. 1860 01:38:05.039 --> 01:38:06.079 We were so good in that game. 1861 01:38:06.079 --> 01:38:07.640 But you just follow a little bit short. 1862 01:38:07.720 --> 01:38:09.479 And that happens with youth, right, There's a little bit 1863 01:38:09.520 --> 01:38:13.439 of inconsistency sometimes in the game. You know, we should 1864 01:38:13.439 --> 01:38:15.319 have scored two goals in the first half. That second 1865 01:38:15.359 --> 01:38:16.079 goal should endo. 1866 01:38:15.960 --> 01:38:16.279 Have gone in. 1867 01:38:16.399 --> 01:38:20.960 That's what we're going to analyze. 1868 01:38:20.760 --> 01:38:21.119 Everybody. 1869 01:38:21.159 --> 01:38:24.880 D is the head coach of Tacoma Defiance, and if 1870 01:38:24.880 --> 01:38:29.319 you watched the match, there was a handball call late 1871 01:38:30.319 --> 01:38:32.920 that would have given to Coma another goal on the board, 1872 01:38:33.000 --> 01:38:35.960 or the opportunity with a handball in the box, another 1873 01:38:36.039 --> 01:38:37.880 handball that would have given them a chance to get 1874 01:38:37.880 --> 01:38:39.800 another goal from the spot that could have changed game 1875 01:38:39.840 --> 01:38:43.439 state and the approach in the final fifteen minutes or 1876 01:38:43.439 --> 01:38:45.800 so could have gone an extra thirty. It did not. 1877 01:38:46.279 --> 01:38:51.279 You get the win for Portland. Substitution comes in, scores 1878 01:38:51.319 --> 01:38:52.760 with tend to go to tie it up and then 1879 01:38:52.760 --> 01:38:54.479 they end up with yet another goal on the board 1880 01:38:54.920 --> 01:38:58.119 and it ends up as a three to two win 1881 01:38:58.439 --> 01:39:02.880 over to Coma Defiance. At Starfire in the round of 1882 01:39:02.920 --> 01:39:06.319 thirty two, it was Gabe Garrett scoring in the eighty first. 1883 01:39:06.439 --> 01:39:10.960 Kevin Kelsey scored at ninety plus four. After ossesde Rosario 1884 01:39:11.000 --> 01:39:13.800 and Georgie Mnongu scored two goals in three minutes to 1885 01:39:14.199 --> 01:39:15.960 go from one nil down to two to one up. 1886 01:39:16.000 --> 01:39:18.920 Defiance had the lead, then Garrett and Kelsey score to 1887 01:39:19.319 --> 01:39:23.720 make it by the time it was over. Servando Barna 1888 01:39:24.119 --> 01:39:30.239 was the gentleman in question for Erved's the head coach 1889 01:39:30.319 --> 01:39:32.840 for Defiance, so Servando Barna has a bit of a 1890 01:39:32.920 --> 01:39:36.319 history with the folks in the Pacific Northwest, so Starfire 1891 01:39:36.479 --> 01:39:40.840 last night it was a win for Portland on come 1892 01:39:40.840 --> 01:39:44.479 from behind win literally and I don't quite think this 1893 01:39:44.560 --> 01:39:47.560 is correct considering that they have the shots and shots 1894 01:39:47.600 --> 01:39:50.119 on goal being equal to the final score and the 1895 01:39:50.199 --> 01:39:52.239 total number of passes in the game. 1896 01:39:54.439 --> 01:39:56.720 Seven for both teams. 1897 01:39:57.520 --> 01:39:59.079 So I'm gonna have to go and dig up some 1898 01:39:59.159 --> 01:40:02.600 numbers and see, yeah, total passes seven total, and Tacoma 1899 01:40:02.640 --> 01:40:04.800 De Fiance had only four passes in the entire match 1900 01:40:04.840 --> 01:40:08.159 and they completed them all, whereas Portland went two for three. 1901 01:40:08.520 --> 01:40:11.239 I don't quite think that's statistically correct. 1902 01:40:12.279 --> 01:40:20.039 So advancing it was Charlotte DC, Nashville Red Bulls Portland 1903 01:40:20.560 --> 01:40:23.680 so tonight in the Open Cup. And once again you 1904 01:40:23.680 --> 01:40:26.760 can catch all of this on Paramount Plus. We'll go 1905 01:40:26.800 --> 01:40:28.199 through what to watch, where to watch it, how to 1906 01:40:28.199 --> 01:40:31.600 watch it? Coming up in a bit seven o'clock.

Tampa Bay 1929 01:41:43.800 --> 01:41:47.720 is a plus three hundred and once again, Tampa Bay 1930 01:41:47.840 --> 01:41:51.199 is still trying to get their sea legs about them 1931 01:41:53.279 --> 01:41:57.479 and this one being played at al Lang seven point 1932 01:41:57.479 --> 01:42:01.199 thirty kick against the Purple team Tampa Bay A plus 1933 01:42:01.279 --> 01:42:04.840 three hundred draws plus two fifty Purple teams of minus 1934 01:42:04.840 --> 01:42:08.279 one twenty three eight o'clock Chicago Fire a minus one 1935 01:42:08.439 --> 01:42:13.560 fifty two draws a plus two seventy nine. Detroit City 1936 01:42:13.640 --> 01:42:17.960 is a plus three p fifty four and that matchup 1937 01:42:18.079 --> 01:42:23.000 is played at Seat Geek in Bridgeview, so I don't 1938 01:42:23.039 --> 01:42:25.079 know how many are making the trip from ham Tramick 1939 01:42:25.159 --> 01:42:27.880 to Bridgeview. It may not be a big crowd tonight 1940 01:42:27.960 --> 01:42:33.439 that might help Detroit City. And remember keep an eye 1941 01:42:33.479 --> 01:42:35.640 on the Chicago lineup as they get ready for the 1942 01:42:35.640 --> 01:42:38.720 matchup with Atlanta coming up this weekend playing midweek weekend 1943 01:42:38.800 --> 01:42:44.640 weekend midweek weekend. Also on the board, FC Dallas hosting 1944 01:42:44.720 --> 01:42:48.720 av Alta out of USL League one. FC Dallas a 1945 01:42:48.800 --> 01:42:51.840 minus seven sixty nine, Your draws a plus six sixty 1946 01:42:51.960 --> 01:42:54.000 and your av Alta outright is. 1947 01:42:53.960 --> 01:42:57.359 A plus fifteen sixteen in. 1948 01:42:57.199 --> 01:43:01.600 The juice boxes for the visitors, Saint Louis City s 1949 01:43:01.680 --> 01:43:04.880 C taking on those buhosts the murder Owls of Union Omaha. 1950 01:43:04.960 --> 01:43:07.199 Union Omaha is a plus eight sixty nine keep an 1951 01:43:07.199 --> 01:43:10.960 eye on this one, especially for the ninety minute draw, 1952 01:43:10.960 --> 01:43:13.960 which is a plus three eighty. We all know their 1953 01:43:14.000 --> 01:43:16.159 giant killers. I don't know if they'll do it by 1954 01:43:16.199 --> 01:43:17.920 the end of the night, but I could see it 1955 01:43:17.960 --> 01:43:20.680 going north of ninety minutes. All Caps are a minus 1956 01:43:20.680 --> 01:43:24.800 three forty five eight point thirty. Austin at Q two 1957 01:43:24.880 --> 01:43:29.600 is hosting L Passo Locomotive. Austin is a minus two 1958 01:43:29.640 --> 01:43:33.399 to four draws a plus three nineteen. L Passo is 1959 01:43:33.399 --> 01:43:36.800 a plus four fifty eight. Austin not having much offense 1960 01:43:37.359 --> 01:43:39.680 might be the saving grace here for L Paso to 1961 01:43:39.680 --> 01:43:42.720 take it north of ninety minutes. You have two very 1962 01:43:42.720 --> 01:43:47.800 defensive minded clubs, so we'll see what happens when they 1963 01:43:47.840 --> 01:43:51.600 cross paths. At Q two, like I said, wouldn't be 1964 01:43:51.640 --> 01:43:54.680 surprised if it was one nil. Austin also wouldn't be 1965 01:43:54.720 --> 01:43:57.840 surprised if it took more than ninety minutes. Then the 1966 01:43:57.880 --> 01:44:01.520 two late ones that are cup set cup set ideas 1967 01:44:02.239 --> 01:44:05.279 Phoenix hosting Houston at the corner of thirty eighth in Washington. 1968 01:44:05.359 --> 01:44:10.520 In Phoenix, Phoenix is a plus two ninety four. Houston 1969 01:44:10.600 --> 01:44:12.600 is a minus one twenty five. Your draws a plus 1970 01:44:12.640 --> 01:44:16.199 two fifty seven. Then you're late one at ten thirty. 1971 01:44:16.359 --> 01:44:21.479 The other cup set possibility at Hard Health Sacramento hosting 1972 01:44:21.560 --> 01:44:23.880 San Jose. I want to see what the San Jose 1973 01:44:24.000 --> 01:44:28.199 lineup looks like at a minus one forty five ninety 1974 01:44:28.199 --> 01:44:30.800 minute draws, A plus two seventy six Sacramento is a 1975 01:44:30.800 --> 01:44:34.039 plus three thirty four. I think by the end of it, 1976 01:44:34.079 --> 01:44:37.680 I think San Jose gets the win. Might not necessarily 1977 01:44:37.720 --> 01:44:40.880 be the offensive shootout that you're looking for. I want 1978 01:44:40.920 --> 01:44:44.680 to see what San Jose's starting eleven looks like. But 1979 01:44:44.800 --> 01:44:47.479 last night you had some teams take some assumed risk 1980 01:44:47.680 --> 01:44:54.319 in the tournament, like Charlotte starting a completely rotated starting 1981 01:44:54.359 --> 01:44:56.520 eleven with some help on the bench, and it almost 1982 01:44:56.520 --> 01:45:01.560 cost them, so they advanced to the round of sixteen. 1983 01:45:02.039 --> 01:45:08.399 You have the three six nine eleven matches tonight compared 1984 01:45:08.399 --> 01:45:11.920 to the five yesterday, so sixteen the field will be 1985 01:45:12.000 --> 01:45:14.960 sixteen and pared down to it by the time the 1986 01:45:15.039 --> 01:45:19.800 night is over, say in a perfect world, around twelve 1987 01:45:19.920 --> 01:45:22.520 thirty quarter one in the morning Eastern time. If there 1988 01:45:22.520 --> 01:45:24.399 are any cup sets, we'll try and track some folks 1989 01:45:24.439 --> 01:45:26.920 down for tomorrow. Just to let you know once again, 1990 01:45:26.960 --> 01:45:29.359 tomorrow our number one is us we go over what 1991 01:45:29.439 --> 01:45:31.439 happened here in Open Cup and everything else that's on 1992 01:45:31.479 --> 01:45:34.359 your mind. We're tracking down some OPO research for Chicago. 1993 01:45:35.720 --> 01:45:38.239 We also should be having our standard a Friday ten 1994 01:45:38.279 --> 01:45:41.159 o'clock guest to discuss things from a league wide perspective 1995 01:45:41.159 --> 01:45:43.960 and a league wide preview. Nino and Nico are going 1996 01:45:44.000 --> 01:45:47.520 to join us in our number two tomorrow. Nino Domas 1997 01:45:47.560 --> 01:45:49.720 is going to talk about what happened in the Champions 1998 01:45:49.800 --> 01:45:52.000 League yesterday, the seven six aggregate. 1999 01:45:52.760 --> 01:45:53.680 We'll talk about that. 2000 01:45:54.199 --> 01:45:57.279 We'll talk about Portugal because there are some stories in Portugal. 2001 01:45:57.600 --> 01:46:01.159 You know how we've been issuing on Boa Vista the 2002 01:46:01.279 --> 01:46:04.560 relegation battle in Portugal, and it's part of the matches 2003 01:46:04.600 --> 01:46:08.439 that Nino calls on Gold TV. The relegation battle has 2004 01:46:08.439 --> 01:46:12.880 turned insane and apparently there is a club that has 2005 01:46:13.000 --> 01:46:17.039 a worse public perception than Boavista. And you know, we've 2006 01:46:17.079 --> 01:46:20.159 been we've been issued on Boavista a lot, and I 2007 01:46:20.159 --> 01:46:22.880 actually almost said the word we've been issued on them 2008 01:46:22.880 --> 01:46:24.600 a lot. And apparently there's a club that's a part 2009 01:46:24.640 --> 01:46:27.359 of that relegation battle that is worse. I didn't think 2010 01:46:27.399 --> 01:46:30.920 that was possible, but one might be worse. We'll discuss that, 2011 01:46:30.960 --> 01:46:34.760 we'll discuss Champions League, we'll discuss Labertadors and all of 2012 01:46:34.760 --> 01:46:37.560 that Tomorrow with Nino Torres from Gold TV at ten o'clock, 2013 01:46:37.640 --> 01:46:40.199 Nico Modeno joining us. We'll talk about what we heard 2014 01:46:40.279 --> 01:46:44.039 from Tacoma Defiance there post match, going up against Portland 2015 01:46:44.079 --> 01:46:47.199 at Starfire, plus everything else that's on his mind as 2016 01:46:47.239 --> 01:46:48.279 we get you ready for the weekend. 2017 01:46:48.399 --> 01:46:50.520 Like I said, we are efforting oppo. 2018 01:46:50.359 --> 01:46:53.680 Research on Chicago Fire from one of their play by 2019 01:46:53.720 --> 01:46:56.319 play voices, and hopefully we can catch up with them 2020 01:46:56.359 --> 01:46:59.960 before the end of the week and get you ready 2021 01:47:00.119 --> 01:47:04.279 for Chicago Fire and Atlanta United coming up this weekend 2022 01:47:04.279 --> 01:47:07.600 at the Spaceship on the lake Front there in Chicago. 2023 01:47:07.840 --> 01:47:11.399 So that was what happened yesterday and Open Cup. That's 2024 01:47:11.399 --> 01:47:14.680 what could happen today in Open Cup, and since we're here, 2025 01:47:14.840 --> 01:47:16.439 what to watch, where to watch it, and how to 2026 01:47:16.479 --> 01:47:18.800 watch it. In addition to Open Cup. Once again, remember 2027 01:47:18.840 --> 01:47:22.520 all of that is on Paramount Plus. You get to 2028 01:47:22.560 --> 01:47:24.720 catch up with Paramount Plus, you get to choose all 2029 01:47:24.760 --> 01:47:29.479 of your matches and I'm hoping, I'm hoping, and this 2030 01:47:29.600 --> 01:47:34.039 is just one of the things that it's a personal 2031 01:47:34.079 --> 01:47:39.000 pet Peeve, and I will raise my hand here and ask. 2032 01:47:38.880 --> 01:47:39.760 This question. 2033 01:47:41.039 --> 01:47:45.199 When it comes to your streaming services, And we pretty 2034 01:47:45.279 --> 01:47:48.479 much have all of the streaming services here at Office HD. 2035 01:47:50.479 --> 01:47:53.720 Which ones are the easiest ones to navigate? Which ones 2036 01:47:53.760 --> 01:47:56.640 give you the most trouble in navigation and buffering and 2037 01:47:56.640 --> 01:48:02.119 all of that. We have a lot of them, and 2038 01:48:03.239 --> 01:48:06.560 I'm hoping that it might be just where I am 2039 01:48:07.279 --> 01:48:10.279 and the traffic coming from this particular sector of the planet. 2040 01:48:11.279 --> 01:48:13.479 But one of the ones that always gives me trouble, 2041 01:48:14.960 --> 01:48:18.199 and it's also clunky when you're navigating it, is Paramount Plus. 2042 01:48:18.560 --> 01:48:19.840 I love it, don't get me wrong. 2043 01:48:19.960 --> 01:48:21.600 The fact that I get to see lower divisions in 2044 01:48:21.600 --> 01:48:24.680 England and keep up with everything. 2045 01:48:24.720 --> 01:48:25.199 I love it. 2046 01:48:26.239 --> 01:48:30.520 But navigating it always turns into a problem, and buffering 2047 01:48:30.560 --> 01:48:36.760 turns into a problem. So Peacock sometimes will dump out 2048 01:48:36.800 --> 01:48:40.960 because of stress on the platform. It'll freeze up and 2049 01:48:40.960 --> 01:48:42.720 then it'll dump out and I have to go back in. 2050 01:48:44.039 --> 01:48:48.359 But Netflix traditionally is okay, and this is for like 2051 01:48:48.399 --> 01:48:52.279 sports viewing and everything. So Netflix is okay, ESPN Plus 2052 01:48:52.359 --> 01:48:57.239 is okay. Big Fox on their streaming side, they're okay 2053 01:48:57.279 --> 01:48:59.880 going through web and everything. But when it comes to 2054 01:49:00.119 --> 01:49:03.199 sports peacock good ninety percent of the time, love it 2055 01:49:03.239 --> 01:49:06.680 and I'll watch like multiview and goal Rush and things 2056 01:49:06.720 --> 01:49:06.920 like that. 2057 01:49:06.960 --> 01:49:07.760 For the Premier League. 2058 01:49:07.800 --> 01:49:09.720 I'm locked in on goal Rush because that's where my 2059 01:49:09.760 --> 01:49:12.399 brain is these days. I need like instant I need 2060 01:49:12.439 --> 01:49:14.520 instant information. Boom boom boom boom boom, So I go 2061 01:49:14.600 --> 01:49:17.479 to goal Rush. I don't watch individual matches anymore unless 2062 01:49:17.479 --> 01:49:18.079 it's a solo. 2063 01:49:18.760 --> 01:49:20.039 I'll go to goal Rush. 2064 01:49:19.880 --> 01:49:22.199 On the ten o'clock and the nine o'clock kicks, and 2065 01:49:22.239 --> 01:49:25.800 I'm locked in and I'm good. Paramount Plus for me 2066 01:49:25.920 --> 01:49:27.880 is the one that's most difficult to navigate and also 2067 01:49:27.920 --> 01:49:31.319 the one that buffers the most. So I'm hoping it's 2068 01:49:31.319 --> 01:49:34.199 because everybody loves Paramount Plus and it's just stress on 2069 01:49:34.239 --> 01:49:37.319 the network that they end up working on and it 2070 01:49:37.399 --> 01:49:43.359 improved Prime Video fantastic, no problems at all. But Paramount 2071 01:49:43.359 --> 01:49:45.000 Plus for me is one of the ones that I've 2072 01:49:45.039 --> 01:49:48.000 had the longest because of all of everything that they offer, 2073 01:49:48.760 --> 01:49:50.880 but it ends up with the buffering and everything. Like 2074 01:49:50.880 --> 01:49:52.520 I said, it could be just me and being here 2075 01:49:52.520 --> 01:49:57.079 in the office, but traditionally, for me, Paramount Plus is 2076 01:49:57.119 --> 01:50:00.239 the one that gives me the most issues of the ones. 2077 01:50:00.239 --> 01:50:01.479 Like I said, I love it the most because I 2078 01:50:01.520 --> 01:50:03.359 get to see lower divisions in England and everything that 2079 01:50:03.399 --> 01:50:07.399 they have across the board in Europe and in Conca calf. 2080 01:50:08.439 --> 01:50:11.079 But it gives me the most trouble because of probably 2081 01:50:11.119 --> 01:50:12.920 traffic and buffering and such. And I just wanted to 2082 01:50:12.920 --> 01:50:16.720 compare notes. Uh what else to watch once again on 2083 01:50:16.880 --> 01:50:23.760 ben triple header? Welly, I was yesterday. Uh scanning, scanning, scanning, Okay, 2084 01:50:23.760 --> 01:50:26.119 so it is a triple header again today.

Maddy and Jason on 2273 02:00:09.800 --> 02:00:11.760 the call, and I was dropping in scores when I could. 2274 02:00:12.359 --> 02:00:15.159 Great match, great environment up at Harmonfield and Bill Chappel 2275 02:00:15.199 --> 02:00:18.319 Stadium yesterday in Dalton, and we get to preview the 2276 02:00:18.439 --> 02:00:21.840 semifinals coming up Thursday and Friday. Next week soccer is 2277 02:00:21.880 --> 02:00:24.279 in Session Playoff Daily Live. We'll be going at noon 2278 02:00:24.319 --> 02:00:27.119 to wrap up the season, considering that's championship week, but 2279 02:00:27.199 --> 02:00:28.800 we'll also catch up with some of our friends who 2280 02:00:28.880 --> 02:00:30.840 had some really great seasons and find out about the 2281 02:00:30.880 --> 02:00:33.640 growth of the sport. So another week and a half 2282 02:00:34.079 --> 02:00:36.640 of soccer is in Session Playoff Daily Live as we 2283 02:00:36.760 --> 02:00:40.000 chase after the championships here in the state of Georgia 2284 02:00:40.079 --> 02:00:43.079 and the GHSA. So let me say hi to everybody, 2285 02:00:44.359 --> 02:00:46.840 and Kevsi's right there with me. Great content. No idea 2286 02:00:46.880 --> 02:00:49.239 why they make the multi layered open issues and quick 2287 02:00:49.279 --> 02:00:51.119 access pain over the videos. 2288 02:00:51.640 --> 02:00:54.439 It is. It is a pain, KEFSI. It is a pain. 2289 02:00:54.479 --> 02:00:56.279 It's a quick access pain and it is a pain. 2290 02:00:56.800 --> 02:01:00.399 So Hi, KEFSI, high rich, Hi Michael. I know that 2291 02:01:00.439 --> 02:01:02.520 you and I and will run into each other with 2292 02:01:03.479 --> 02:01:07.279 all of with our bosses and with our pups, and 2293 02:01:07.319 --> 02:01:10.800 I know that we like to have these conversations offline 2294 02:01:10.800 --> 02:01:15.479 as well. So Morning Rich once again, Morning Michael, and 2295 02:01:15.680 --> 02:01:19.880 Morning Dell. Hopefully I answered your question about Caden Clark Dell. 2296 02:01:20.039 --> 02:01:25.680 If Jamie Vardy joins Dean Smith in Charlotte, he's thirty seven. 2297 02:01:25.800 --> 02:01:27.640 I don't know what he could bring to the table 2298 02:01:27.840 --> 02:01:30.960 considering who he has up front right now anyway, with 2299 02:01:31.000 --> 02:01:35.840 Wilf Saha, Patrick Godgimong and hopefully Eurie Tavares. Look if 2300 02:01:35.840 --> 02:01:37.920 he doesn't want, If Dean Smith doesn't want Uriy Tavares 2301 02:01:38.000 --> 02:01:40.640 or Patrick Gojiymong, shoot, I'd take him in a heartbeat. 2302 02:01:41.680 --> 02:01:44.079 I think that Jamie Vardy might be better served going 2303 02:01:44.119 --> 02:01:47.800 to Wrexham. I've heard that as a possible idea to 2304 02:01:47.880 --> 02:01:50.880 help them in their championship season. I think that that 2305 02:01:51.000 --> 02:01:55.600 is probably a better idea. But Jamie Vardi to Wrexham, 2306 02:01:55.640 --> 02:01:57.479 to me, makes a lot more sense than Jamie Vardy 2307 02:01:57.520 --> 02:01:58.279 to Charlotte FC. 2308 02:02:00.479 --> 02:02:00.920 Let's see. 2309 02:02:00.920 --> 02:02:08.279 So Morning Kevsie, Morning Michael, Morning Derek. Let's see Bart. 2310 02:02:08.880 --> 02:02:11.239 Hope is dead, disparaed thrives miss you to Bart, all 2311 02:02:11.279 --> 02:02:12.399 that work that you have to do. 2312 02:02:13.279 --> 02:02:14.239 Morning four Card. 2313 02:02:15.199 --> 02:02:20.600 Let's see morning ropes, I think, ropes to your point, 2314 02:02:20.680 --> 02:02:22.640 and this is gonna sound cliche, and I'm busting out 2315 02:02:22.640 --> 02:02:24.359 all my cliches. He once to know when you break 2316 02:02:24.359 --> 02:02:27.800 out of the stage, literally, I think it takes one 2317 02:02:27.800 --> 02:02:29.920 solid ninety minutes to sit there and prove that you 2318 02:02:29.960 --> 02:02:30.840 can do it to yourself. 2319 02:02:30.880 --> 02:02:33.239 Sometimes it takes something that simple. That's what my gut 2320 02:02:33.279 --> 02:02:33.640 tells me. 2321 02:02:35.640 --> 02:02:40.560 May And then you got Tommy and Kevsi and David 2322 02:02:41.159 --> 02:02:45.119 and Alex and let's see who else am I missing here? 2323 02:02:45.159 --> 02:02:48.560 So once again Michael and Alex and Dell and ropes 2324 02:02:49.560 --> 02:02:53.840 and I'm trying to see who else is here. So 2325 02:02:53.880 --> 02:02:57.319 it's Alex and Ricky and that's everybody who participated in 2326 02:02:57.359 --> 02:02:58.880 the Twitch pitch. But I know that that is not 2327 02:02:58.920 --> 02:03:02.520 everybody to participate. It's on a daily basis here at SDH.
