Speaker 1: Face has dropped on a new round of sd H
Speaker 1: A M. John here you there, Thanks for hanging out
Speaker 1: as you always do. Here's the rundown for today and
Speaker 1: a little bit for the week. Let's see. So today,
Speaker 1: obviously we're gonna look back at it Land United and Colorado.
Speaker 1: We've got all the sounds of the match. You'll hook
Speaker 1: it from Ronnie Dila, Ronald Hernandez coming up here in
Speaker 1: the show. You've also got we'll go through the numbers.
Speaker 1: Abe's gonna join us an hour one. Bart's gonna join
Speaker 1: us an hour two. We do have cards and calls.
Speaker 1: We'll talk a little bit about what's going on there.
Speaker 1: And I was shocked when Bart told me this this morning.
Speaker 1: But in the interest of fair play, which is in
Speaker 1: growing the game, which is what we like to do,
Speaker 1: Bart actually had some plaudits.
Speaker 2: That he wanted to hand out. I was shocked.
Speaker 1: He's I want to comment, I want to talk about
Speaker 1: some good things that we're done, and so we'll do
Speaker 1: that too. And it didn't hit me really until Bart
Speaker 1: sent that note that all.
Speaker 2: We really do.
Speaker 1: Is sit there and we do look at it with
Speaker 1: a critical eye, don't get me wrong, and we should.
Speaker 1: But I think at the same time. To Bart's point
Speaker 1: this morning about a particular reth, what we'll do is
Speaker 1: when they do something right, we have to talk about
Speaker 1: it too. And so Bart has opened that door for
Speaker 1: us this morning. So we're gonna have good and bad
Speaker 1: might even be a little bit of the old GBU
Speaker 1: the good, the bad and the ugly. When Bart comes
Speaker 1: in for cards and calls, we'll talk a little about
Speaker 1: the Premier League coming back, and that kind of lay
Speaker 1: itself into cards and calls from the weekend and all
Speaker 1: of those moments. So Atlanta Nighted, Colorado Highlights and posts,
Speaker 1: Ronnie Dial, Ronald hernandez Abe's coming up in just a
Speaker 1: little bit. Then we've got some Atlanta Nited two stuff
Speaker 1: to get into. Last night on the network. Two's got
Speaker 1: a big win against Crown Legacy at Home Lake Gold.
Speaker 1: We've got your Highlights two's reviews coming up later this morning.
Speaker 1: After the show is over, you'll hear from interim head
Speaker 1: coach Hose Silva, You'll hear from Patrick Wia, you'll hear
Speaker 1: from Totomajoub, who was the player of the match for
Speaker 1: Jason and Natty last night. And so that'll be and
Speaker 1: also looking at what's going on right now in the
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference and the race to get in is pretty
Speaker 1: tight and Landy United two is a part of that race.
Speaker 2: And so we'll go.
Speaker 1: Over all of the material that is there involving that.
Speaker 1: Also here in the show, we've got all of the
Speaker 1: gossip Berman and you window going on overseas, everything going
Speaker 1: on over there, and laying all of that out for
Speaker 1: the day. Okay, so the week the week is today
Speaker 1: is today, Casey White, Casey D. We're gonna find out
Speaker 1: where she be and she's going to bat lead off Tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We'll go through her matchup with Jessica Charman, We'll talk
Speaker 1: about Major League Soccer with Toronto and Columbus. Then we'll
Speaker 1: get into the college game with her and maybe some NWSL.
Speaker 1: So when Casey D comes in usually on Tuesdays, that'll
Speaker 1: be the purview that we look at is we'll talk
Speaker 1: about the NWSL with their season, We'll talk about the
Speaker 1: USL Super League. If she is tapped on the shoulder
Speaker 1: to call that, we'll get into that, but it's gonna
Speaker 1: be NWSL college and matches that she calls. We get
Speaker 1: into that focus. That's tomorrow and we should have a
Speaker 1: segment taping it if the lords of taping will will agree,
Speaker 1: we're taping it today later because our guest is overseas,
Speaker 1: And what we're going to start doing is we're gonna
Speaker 1: start looking and I don't know if you want to
Speaker 1: call it a if you want to call it a
Speaker 1: lecture series, you can. But what we're going to do,
Speaker 1: because of everything going on involving John Texter and involving
Speaker 1: everything that is attached to multi club ownership, we're going
Speaker 1: to get into those conversations with a couple of friends
Speaker 1: of ours, one in England and one in South America,
Speaker 1: and we're going to talk about the repercussions of MCOs
Speaker 1: and kind of do almost like literally almost like a
Speaker 1: lecture series. We're going to walk through multi club ownership model.
Speaker 1: We're going to look at the good and the bad
Speaker 1: and some of the pitfalls that are attached and why
Speaker 1: folks are still allowed to function within the purview of
Speaker 1: MCOs when it looks like they really don't need to be.
Speaker 1: So it'll be a part of a discussion and it's
Speaker 1: going to start today on tape and we'll run tomorrow
Speaker 1: in hour number two, and so we'll start that and
Speaker 1: we'll start having on the website probably in the next
Speaker 1: little bit some articles from written in South America from
Speaker 1: that perspective as South America is exposed to the multi
Speaker 1: club ownership model and what they're experiencing as they go,
Speaker 1: and what to look out for in national soccer organizations
Speaker 1: just to kind of keep kind of keep your eye
Speaker 1: on things. We're gonna we're gonna be looking at things
Speaker 1: with a critical eye and attach it with some journalism
Speaker 1: and you know, like I said, it's gonna be a
Speaker 1: bit of an electure series and try to figure out, Okay,
Speaker 1: what do we know, what do we not know, what
Speaker 1: do we need to keep an eye on. It'll be
Speaker 1: an education when it comes to MCOs and everything that's
Speaker 1: attached to it, the financing of the modern day game,
Speaker 1: and well, why is somebody there, why are they not?
Speaker 1: Why is it only this much? Why can't they do more?
Speaker 1: Those kinds of things. So it's gonna be a real
Speaker 1: interesting discussion that we're going to be having going forward
Speaker 1: with us with some folks as a part of our
Speaker 1: own education when it comes to the world game and
Speaker 1: what to look out for going forward. So that should
Speaker 1: air tomorrow on Hour number two. So KCD and our
Speaker 1: beginning of our mco lecture series in our number two Wednesday,
Speaker 1: Tyler Pilgrim's Carves and Spikes, and then we'll start getting
Speaker 1: ready for the weekend coming up. Toronto's coming to town
Speaker 1: and we'll try and find our opposition research when it
Speaker 1: comes to Toronto FC. And then let's see so if
Speaker 1: we can catch up with the busiest man of the Northeast,
Speaker 1: Dylan Butler. That gets us through Wednesday, Thursday. By the way,
Speaker 1: Thursday and Friday. Once again, I'm on the road, so
Speaker 1: you'll see me in hotel rooms on Thursday and Friday,
Speaker 1: and it'll be the Power Hour on Thursday. We'll see
Speaker 1: if we can line up some guests. Friday, see if
Speaker 1: we can catch up with our friends from Beyond Goals menering,
Speaker 1: find out what's going on in the life of Major
Speaker 1: League Soccer and get you ready for the weekend with
Speaker 1: Atlanta coming up and playing Toronto FC, all of that's
Speaker 1: going on. I didn't have the chance really to do
Speaker 1: an opening kickoff, which is fine because we'll get into
Speaker 1: that after our guest, Abe Gordon, drops in, and so
Speaker 1: we have to make sure that Abe is properly hydrated
Speaker 1: as always, and so look, I know how Abe worked.
Speaker 1: He's getting properly hydrated, he's getting all of his notes.
Speaker 1: First off, we have to add Abe, how was the
Speaker 1: nighttime running, sir?
Speaker 3: Yeah, the Alien half marathon went pretty well. It was
Speaker 3: incredibly hot for about six or seven miles, and then
Speaker 3: we got hit for about six minutes with a little
Speaker 3: bit of light sprinkle, which felt good. And then we
Speaker 3: got hit for like three miles with an absolute downpour
Speaker 3: and it worked for me, like I really needed that.
Speaker 3: It was refreshing and it was cooling, and so the
Speaker 3: run went well. But the shoes are, I believe, still
Speaker 3: soaking wet from the rain. So everything is good. I
Speaker 3: definitely feel it in my calves right now. But thirteen
Speaker 3: point one miles done, So happy about it?
Speaker 1: I mean, so what was your time? Were you happy
Speaker 1: with the time considering conditions?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I was. I was.
Speaker 3: I was hoping to go just sub two, which is
Speaker 3: like a nine oh nine pace. I ended up running
Speaker 3: like a one fifty five twenty four, which is like
Speaker 3: a eight forty seven or something pace somewhere in there.
Speaker 3: But yeah, executed the plan, I think, which is what's important.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 3: I wanted to get the first seven miles relatively quick
Speaker 3: in terms of pace, and just make sure I had
Speaker 3: some time in the last six miles to slow down
Speaker 3: if need be, and then and got it done.
Speaker 2: So are we happy? All right?
Speaker 1: So I know that obviously you might have been just
Speaker 1: a passive listener at some point, catching up over the weekend,
Speaker 1: trying to find out what was going on since since
Speaker 1: you left Maddie and Nick in charge of the Lunatic
Speaker 1: Asylum up there in the the Imitation Placial Studient as
Speaker 1: a ninety two nine in the game in the Odyssey
Speaker 1: app and it was Atlanta United down early Darren Yappi again.
Speaker 1: Then you end up with Alexi Madanchuk getting continuing his form,
Speaker 1: and then it was two moments in the second half.
Speaker 1: I'm still trying to look at the PK call and go, okay,
Speaker 1: where was it? But that's just me and I'll look
Speaker 1: at it again this morning. And then Navajo after the
Speaker 1: PK gets the brace, and it was moments in the
Speaker 1: second half and it was another three to one loss.
Speaker 1: Another long night for Atlanta. Nighted out in Commerce City.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I was actually watching as the PK
Speaker 3: was happening. I think I was on my phone taking
Speaker 3: the dog out for a walk, and it was it
Speaker 3: was you know, it was just one of those things
Speaker 3: where you wonder if it's an instance of Barrett Call
Speaker 3: just not knowing the league at a certain level and
Speaker 3: needing to adjust a little bit more and at something
Speaker 3: you probably there's a little bit of allowance for that
Speaker 3: from an individual perspective. Obviously, it's tough for the team
Speaker 3: to go down. I did think it was a foul.
Speaker 3: The leg is out there. It's if the guy wants
Speaker 3: to to take a step and trip over it, he's
Speaker 3: certainly welcome to do so, and he did.
Speaker 4: He got bar Call off guard. Barry Call was reaching
Speaker 4: and the legs there.
Speaker 3: Again, he could have fought and could have stayed up,
Speaker 3: but Barry Call did take him out, like it's a
Speaker 3: fair call. But I do just kind of attribute that
Speaker 3: to not knowing the league yet not knowing some of
Speaker 3: the players in an adjustment period. That is always gonna
Speaker 3: happen as a guy takes on a new league. I'd
Speaker 3: rather him adjust right now when the team is not
Speaker 3: going to the playoffs, when the team is not winning games,
Speaker 3: than have this happen in match day one of the
Speaker 3: next MLS season. So it's frustrating, but you have to
Speaker 3: allow it. Again, it goes to what we've seen John.
Speaker 3: It sounds like from and I listened to a fair
Speaker 3: shake of the first half as well with with with
Speaker 3: Mike and Jason, it sounds like, again, this is an
Speaker 3: argument where the team outplayed their opponents in the first
Speaker 3: half and all you can muster by way of an
Speaker 3: outstanding performance from Moranchuk once again, is a draw heading
Speaker 3: into halftime. And it's just one of those things where
Speaker 3: you've got to find ways to punish teams when you're
Speaker 3: out playing them. And it hasn't happened on Saturday night
Speaker 3: in Colorado, it hasn't.
Speaker 4: Happened for the majority of this season.
Speaker 3: And if I look heading into next season, if I
Speaker 3: look at like the one thing that needs to be
Speaker 3: different is you just have to punish teams when you're
Speaker 3: out playing them. That's the long and short of it.
Speaker 3: If we're gonna be honest, teams have moments against you,
Speaker 3: they make them count. You have long stretches against opponents,
Speaker 3: and you do not make them count. If you could
Speaker 3: just change that up on the defensive side and on
Speaker 3: the offensive side, you do. Like what you've seen, there
Speaker 3: is an argument that this team has been playing much
Speaker 3: much better over.
Speaker 4: The past I mean even month and a half.
Speaker 3: Really, I mean it's been a long stretch now where
Speaker 3: you felt you just got complete the outclassed in a match,
Speaker 3: and even now you definitely got outclassed in the second half, right,
Speaker 3: But over the course of it, you've just got to
Speaker 3: make teams pay. And it hasn't happened Saturday or for
Speaker 3: the most part this whole season.
Speaker 1: Looking at the numbers first half, to your point, it
Speaker 1: was I'm not gonna get into x ab or anything
Speaker 1: like that, but total shots seven to four for Atlanta
Speaker 1: United in the first forty five minutes, and it was
Speaker 1: one shot on target, so one shot on target of
Speaker 1: the seven for Atlanta and I did one shot of
Speaker 1: the four for Colorado.
Speaker 2: In the first forty.
Speaker 1: Five four shots listed as off target two blocks each,
Speaker 1: four shots inside the eighteen, which means the other three
Speaker 1: were outside the eighteen. Then you switch it to the
Speaker 1: second forty five minutes to your point, and fifty to
Speaker 1: fifty possession big chances one each side. Colorado had more
Speaker 1: total shots at five to four, and then you get
Speaker 1: into more shots on target to one shots off target. Obviously,
Speaker 1: the same two blocks four shots inside the eighteen for Colorado.
Speaker 1: So the numbers tilt, but it doesn't seem like they
Speaker 1: completely and totally just slam and the table completely and
Speaker 1: totally upends.
Speaker 2: So once again it's like you're there and you're in it.
Speaker 1: And it looked like and it was a concern that
Speaker 1: was raised here late in the week, and it was
Speaker 1: a concern raised by Mike and Jason and by Maddie
Speaker 1: and Nick about altitude and trying to figure out when
Speaker 1: you get to sixty or sixty five, just try to
Speaker 1: push through it. And it was in the pregame show,
Speaker 1: I believe, and it's like, you're pushing through that, and
Speaker 1: it looked like it was just one of those where, yeah,
Speaker 1: right there at that wall and you've got to be
Speaker 1: on top of it with your subs and so you're
Speaker 1: trying to come back at that point after the Navajo brace,
Speaker 1: and you're trying to come back from three to one,
Speaker 1: and you're doing it in the conditions you do with
Speaker 1: the subject.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's always, in my opinion, it's always tough.
Speaker 3: To rely on second half statistics because of game game situation.
Speaker 3: In scenario, once they're up three to one, and again
Speaker 3: I don't know what it looked like before they went
Speaker 3: up three to one, but obviously you would expect Atlanta
Speaker 3: to have a lot more possession at that point because
Speaker 3: Colorado is not interested in chances and so it gets
Speaker 3: a little walkie can even out, so you know, Unfortunately,
Speaker 3: again I didn't see the entire second half, so it's
Speaker 3: tough for me to really go you know how I
Speaker 3: like to do it. I just kind of vibe and
Speaker 3: talk about how I feel it playing out. But look,
Speaker 3: the thing here is, John, is You've got eight games left,
Speaker 3: four at home, four on the road. This team has
Speaker 3: yet to win a road game all season, and obviously
Speaker 3: we're a long ways away from what like the expectations
Speaker 3: were coming into the year. Even some of the worst
Speaker 3: teams in the league have won one road game, and
Speaker 3: that's kind of what I'm looking at now. Everything to
Speaker 3: me is about building something to be excited for next season.
Speaker 3: You can't go into next year having not won a
Speaker 3: single road game. I just you want to see it
Speaker 3: happen at some point. So you got four chances left,
Speaker 3: That's what I'm focusing on the rest of the way,
Speaker 3: Just try and find three points on the road.
Speaker 4: Whatever you can get at home, you'll you'll take.
Speaker 3: But outside of that, it's about getting some of these
Speaker 3: new players acclimated to the system.
Speaker 4: Again. I think bart called is working through an adjustment period.
Speaker 4: That's understandable.
Speaker 3: I think me his a couple games ahead of him
Speaker 3: in regards to that, and that's nice to see. But
Speaker 3: you got to get al Zat in there and anyone
Speaker 3: else that you think is going to be a significant
Speaker 3: part of next season. Get those adjustments out of the
Speaker 3: way as much as you can right now.
Speaker 1: You mentioned me high at the back as he continues
Speaker 1: to integrate eight clearances on the night for Naomi High,
Speaker 1: one block and a pick three of four on his
Speaker 1: duel's ninety nine touches, ninety six percent passing in eighty
Speaker 1: one and eighty four, had the one long ball there
Speaker 1: as well as a part of the duo of center
Speaker 1: backs with him and Steon gregorson. Then you also meant
Speaker 1: one barrack call Luke Brennan getting high numbers. Steven Alzat
Speaker 1: also getting high numbers. In the twenty minutes that he
Speaker 1: was in ninety percent passing on twenty three touches nineteen
Speaker 1: to twenty one, he had three of four on his duels,
Speaker 1: and so the pieces once again, you're trying to integrate
Speaker 1: Barra Call, Alzat, me Hi, Leola Fonso was getting minutes
Speaker 1: last night for the twos and so right now is
Speaker 1: that this is that period of time that you're talking about.
Speaker 1: It's like, Okay, I've brought you in for a reason,
Speaker 1: let's see what you can.
Speaker 2: Do, and we'll work. We'll work towards something.
Speaker 1: What that is, it's finishing up right now as best
Speaker 1: you can and then looking toward twenty six. To your point,
Speaker 1: what have been some of your early returns when you
Speaker 1: look at folks like me Hi and Barack Call and
Speaker 1: Alzat and all the other folks, Well.
Speaker 3: I think right now you're just trying to justify who
Speaker 3: is a mainstay and who is maybe more in a
Speaker 3: reserve role. And I'd like to get a much longer
Speaker 3: look at Alzante for sure. I'd like to continue to
Speaker 3: get more look at Will Riley as well. As far
Speaker 3: as I'm concerned, a name me High is locked in.
Speaker 3: He's a mainstay. I want to see more about from
Speaker 3: Barakal and make sure I'm ready to make that call
Speaker 3: and make that decision now Obviously, I don't know what
Speaker 3: some of the offseason movement looks like in terms of
Speaker 3: the roster, and I think that obviously will play a role.
Speaker 3: Are you bring Stean gregorson back? Is that someone you
Speaker 3: look to move out of there as well? And if so,
Speaker 3: who's gonna step in in his main replacement. There's a
Speaker 3: lot of questions and discussions to be had. But in
Speaker 3: terms of the guys that have just been brought in
Speaker 3: that I really like what they're bringing and want to
Speaker 3: see more of an Am High is right at the
Speaker 3: top of that list. And then again, I'd like to
Speaker 3: get a better look at Alzata and by the way,
Speaker 3: I'd like to get a better look at some of
Speaker 3: the twos. And we all know I love Brad Guzan
Speaker 3: and I don't know what the plan is for him
Speaker 3: next year. This is a discussion between him and the club.
Speaker 3: I wouldn't mind seeing him once or twice on the stretch.
Speaker 3: I'm not just making a flat out replacement here, because
Speaker 3: Gooz is a club legend. He just you know, he
Speaker 3: gets to decide, in my opinion, how he goes out.
Speaker 3: But I'd like to see more of Dom tronk QUI
Speaker 3: I'd like to see some of these guys that are
Speaker 3: potentially gonna have roles next year, and again, I think
Speaker 3: getting them acclimated to the difference between what mlsx Pro
Speaker 3: and the MLS and what they might see from a
Speaker 3: physical difference, a speed difference. Again, if at any point
Speaker 3: you think that they're playing a role next season, it's
Speaker 3: not a bad idea to get some of their introduction
Speaker 3: to the league out of the way.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 3: I know don tronk Qui had a little breadth of
Speaker 3: it earlier. Now he's caught back up, and maybe try
Speaker 3: him again again, even if it's just to get some
Speaker 3: more acclimation of the league. But you've also got to
Speaker 3: do that continually with baracl and Alzante and some of
Speaker 3: these other guys. But he look, two matches ago, Ronnie
Speaker 3: Dla said, ten matches, ten wins, thirty points.
Speaker 4: You're above the playoff line.
Speaker 3: It's ten cup finals, and look, I think that's a
Speaker 3: great mindset to have. You're now two matches gone and
Speaker 3: two losses, or you may have caught a draw in
Speaker 3: one of those, but obviously you're not just gonna roll
Speaker 3: off eight straight wins. I think that's understandable and so
Speaker 3: it's okay to admit, like, what's not gonna happen just
Speaker 3: because mathematically you're not eliminated, Like, it's okay to have
Speaker 3: that discussion internally, externally from the fan base, from the team,
Speaker 3: and start to look towards next year and probably what
Speaker 3: you need to accomplish before the end of this season
Speaker 3: to give you the best chance next year. And I
Speaker 3: think those sometimes comes with some of the main stays
Speaker 3: being on the bench and some youth being served here.
Speaker 3: And I'm interested to see if at any point they
Speaker 3: actually do that.
Speaker 1: And you mentioned names in and out and decisions. Derrick
Speaker 1: Williams was announced last week in between the time that
Speaker 1: you and I last caught up. Derek is now over
Speaker 1: at reading and so that is one less decision that
Speaker 1: has to be discussed. You're looking at folks like Ronald
Speaker 1: Hernandez who's got an option year. Brad is at the
Speaker 1: end of a contract, no option, Josh Cohen has an
Speaker 1: option year. Let's see Jamal has an option year. You're
Speaker 1: looking at Brooks with an option year, and then getting
Speaker 1: into your supplementals where Matt Edwards is a homegrown he's
Speaker 1: got years. Jay has another option year after this, you
Speaker 1: mentioned all the younger players. Jayden Hibbert's got another three
Speaker 1: option years after this, and well Riley's got another three
Speaker 1: same basic contract as Jayden Hibbert and came until Guy
Speaker 1: she has another option year after this.
Speaker 2: So the number.
Speaker 1: Started out at fifteen that needed to be figured out
Speaker 1: at the end of this year. Going forward, that number
Speaker 1: obviously is decreasing, so you're looking more and more like
Speaker 1: I think it's like ten or eleven right now because
Speaker 1: of the egress that you've had so far. So to
Speaker 1: your point, yeah, this stretch run, you're going to get
Speaker 1: the best out of it that you can. But yes,
Speaker 1: you do have to start looking at how who the
Speaker 1: contract decisions And then to your point about Atlanta United two,
Speaker 1: who is in a playoff race of their own right now?
Speaker 1: What you're looking at from folks there, and you've seen
Speaker 1: it with Nixcessek and a couple of others getting those
Speaker 1: cups of coffee, So you're getting a lot of that's
Speaker 1: like three dimensional looks here from the twos on up,
Speaker 1: from the players that are homegrowns in and the folks
Speaker 1: that have contracts that have to be discussed.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think the interesting thing as you view it
Speaker 3: for next season is you've got to keep Fortune and
Speaker 3: Edwards in mind, because especially with Jay at the level
Speaker 3: he was performing at before his injury, but Matt as
Speaker 3: well was very good up until when he had to
Speaker 3: be sidelined. And so there is like an odd congestion
Speaker 3: certainly in the midfield where Sleash is absolutely locked in.
Speaker 3: And then you've got a number of guys that you could,
Speaker 3: I don't want to say rotate, but at least strongly
Speaker 3: considered to be running mates in the midfield. So it's
Speaker 3: gonna be interesting there. I think the one thing you
Speaker 3: do know is that as long as they're here late
Speaker 3: Loft is gonna be up top and and and Migge
Speaker 3: is gonna be on the right. And until that changes,
Speaker 3: you you kind of are working around that formation and
Speaker 3: those two players locked in. And so there's a lot
Speaker 3: of players under discussion and just not a lot of
Speaker 3: necessarily openings right now.
Speaker 4: And so look, you've just.
Speaker 3: Got to round out this season with whatever's best for
Speaker 3: you heading into the offseason. Uh And for me as
Speaker 3: a fan, I think it's time we understand it. As
Speaker 3: an analyst, I certainly understand it is you got to
Speaker 3: make the decisions that are going to help you make
Speaker 3: decisions next year, and if it costs you a regular
Speaker 3: season performance this year, then so be it, because you
Speaker 3: have not done enough in the regular season to put
Speaker 3: yourself in contention down the stretch in and the mathematical
Speaker 3: elimination thing doesn't really because other teams are adding and
Speaker 3: it just it's not there. Like you haven't won a
Speaker 3: single road game all year. You think you're gonna win
Speaker 3: all four of the remaining ones plus all four home games.
Speaker 4: And get there, And so, I don't know.
Speaker 3: We just got to be open and honest about it
Speaker 3: and figure out how whatever happened this year won't happen
Speaker 3: next year. And it certainly starts with where you're going
Speaker 3: with your roster, and then it ultimately has to end
Speaker 3: with how do you finish goals because you're creating some
Speaker 3: chances and not finishing goals.
Speaker 1: And secondary transfer window, by the way, closes on Thursdays,
Speaker 1: So if anyone in their mlsness wants to continue to
Speaker 1: do transactions of any kind, you have until Thursday to
Speaker 1: do it.
Speaker 2: All right, hit the promo for me. I know that
Speaker 2: it's going to be another go round on Sunday.
Speaker 1: Odds start time with Toronto, and I think we're still
Speaker 1: trying to find you a dance partner for post game
Speaker 1: because I will be attached to the Unified match it's
Speaker 1: coming on after but we do know pre and post
Speaker 1: hit the promo.
Speaker 3: Yeah, excited for it back at Mercedes Benz Stadium here
Speaker 3: on Sunday. So so like you said afternoon broadcast last
Speaker 3: Sunday afternoon that anyone will be paying attention to Atlanta United,
Speaker 3: the NFL is coming, so we'll take our last opportunity
Speaker 3: to get a Sunday game at Mercedes Benz Stadium here
Speaker 3: that people are watching and rooting for.
Speaker 4: Excited to do it.
Speaker 3: I think pregame at two with kickoff right around three,
Speaker 3: little after three and ready to roll on Sunday and
Speaker 3: looking looking to see what sort of performance they can
Speaker 3: put out there.
Speaker 1: Uh uh three o'clock pre four o'clock kick. Oh there
Speaker 1: you go, so three o'clock pre four to ten kick,
Speaker 1: Apple TV and LS season pass and then it is
Speaker 1: uh the full time report after with Abe and Analyst X.
Speaker 1: We'll find out who that is. As always, my friend,
Speaker 1: great to see you.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: May may your rehab with the Calves be what they
Speaker 1: are knowing how much you run, and I know how
Speaker 1: when you when you're not feeling well with those calves.
Speaker 1: I know that gutting from point A to point B
Speaker 1: just at normal pace is pretty tough. But you're a
Speaker 1: braver man than I. That's all I can say.
Speaker 4: Yeah, going up the stairs is okay right now. Down
Speaker 4: the stairs are real problems.
Speaker 3: So I'm living that elevator lifestyle until I get back home.
Speaker 1: As always, good to see my friend, will see us soon,
Speaker 1: all right, there goes to Abe Gordon and uh yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean, look, Abe is far better shape than I am.
Speaker 1: He's got more drive than I do, and it is
Speaker 1: just that way, you know. And I have seen him
Speaker 1: in training when things have kind of gone sideways, and
Speaker 1: you know, it's almost like you're the the old school
Speaker 1: gunfighter walk, you know from the old movies in the
Speaker 1: wild wild West, where it's just kind of very very
Speaker 1: slow and protracted and having to navigate that while you're training.
Speaker 1: And this was before the Peachtree, So we will see
Speaker 1: how Abe continues to navigate that. And as always, it's
Speaker 1: always great to kick off our week with Abe and
Speaker 1: our friends. At ninety two nine in the game, Bart
Speaker 1: coming up in about a half an hour. We'll go
Speaker 1: over cards and calls, we'll go over anything else that's
Speaker 1: on Bart's mind the return of the prem probably discussing lowdown,
Speaker 1: dirty cheaters on the British side of things, then getting
Speaker 1: obviously into var review. There were a couple of moments
Speaker 1: in the prem that we need to get into, specifically
Speaker 1: a rule that is six years old that I think
Speaker 1: a lot of folks forgot. I certain I sure as
Speaker 1: hell did. So that's that's what we're getting into with
Speaker 1: Bart coming up at the top of the hour. Okay,

Speaker 1: kick off your day with them as well. Okay, I
Speaker 1: could have gone a couple different directions here, but I
Speaker 1: feel like there is something that I need to kind
Speaker 1: of ask. And I apologize ahead of time that this
Speaker 1: is just a question that is for the the the
Speaker 1: gentlemen viewers and listeners here, and this is a show
Speaker 1: of hands and Monday being what Monday traditionally is the
Speaker 1: beginning of the week, and you're kind of stumbling around
Speaker 1: and you're going, you know, hey, I've got to go
Speaker 1: back to work, I've got to do ABCD and need
Speaker 1: to get ready for that, and things just kind of
Speaker 1: fall apart. I have a question for the the the
Speaker 1: gentleman listeners here when it comes to those of you
Speaker 1: who are clean shaven, how do you maintain that, and
Speaker 1: I ask it and I ask this way, and I
Speaker 1: ask it like this because when for me, I have
Speaker 1: a very very sensitive I have very very sensitive skin.
Speaker 1: I mean literally, if I shaved every day, it would
Speaker 1: it would just not go well. So you'll notice there
Speaker 1: are a couple of days I'll shave a couple of
Speaker 1: days a week straight razor, the whole deal. And the
Speaker 1: boss has tried to figure out a way to make
Speaker 1: sure that I don't, you know, carve up my face
Speaker 1: or do anything, and is trying to find the right
Speaker 1: razor and all this kind of stuff. So we kind
Speaker 1: of found we kind of settled into a rhythm from
Speaker 1: an outfit that will send you it's like you're a member.
Speaker 1: It's a membership campaign. And what you do is you
Speaker 1: get a membership. They send you razors, they send you
Speaker 1: the shaving cream, and they send you, you know, what
Speaker 1: you need to function. Every once in a while, it
Speaker 1: is like every thirty sixty or ninety days they send
Speaker 1: you shipments.
Speaker 2: Because my face is what my face is.
Speaker 1: I don't shave every day, and if I did, it
Speaker 1: would be with an electric razor and the electric razer,
Speaker 1: you know me and electric razers it's just an issue,
Speaker 1: and so I can't get it right every day. So
Speaker 1: with this club membership and a straight razor, there is
Speaker 1: a hazard with it because the race head is larger
Speaker 1: than what I'm used to and so it literally is
Speaker 1: an inch long razor surface and probably you know, let's
Speaker 1: say maybe two inches wide and inch high something like that,
Speaker 1: and so because of the size of the razor, I
Speaker 1: can't get everything. Yes, David, it does. The membership does
Speaker 1: begin with the letter H. It is an ACE membership.
Speaker 1: So I have started using this razor that is two
Speaker 1: inches wide and inch high and it's just once again
Speaker 1: straight razor, but it is a very large head on
Speaker 1: the razor. It works well except when you're trying to
Speaker 1: cut turn corners and get into small spaces. That is
Speaker 1: evidence in Parcel, Part and parcel, the full example of
Speaker 1: which happened this morning and shortly before, it's like an
Speaker 1: hour before, the large razor from the H membership took
Speaker 1: a big chunk out of my face.
Speaker 2: And you can blame. You can go air four or
Speaker 2: four all you want.
Speaker 1: Look, I will fall on the sword on this one
Speaker 1: literally and figuratively. I literally was trying to get something done.
Speaker 1: I thought I had enough clearance, and I clearly did not,
Speaker 1: So I took a large chunk out of my face
Speaker 1: with this razor before I even could use. What I've
Speaker 1: started doing is for mop up duty. I have the
Speaker 1: small disposable razors and I will go in in the
Speaker 1: tighter spaces and do that. My question is, really, when
Speaker 1: it comes to guys and shaving with straight razors? Is
Speaker 1: am I the clumsiest person out there when it comes
Speaker 1: to using straight razors because of what it ends up
Speaker 1: doing to my face? I didn't know if I was
Speaker 1: the only one out here that was basically missing missing
Speaker 1: curves and things like that and basically carving up my
Speaker 1: face and I am the worst shaver known to mankind.
Speaker 1: That to me is literally That's how I feel right now,
Speaker 1: is that I can't get into a Monday and have
Speaker 1: something like this not happen for a double negative and
Speaker 1: my mother is probably screaming and cringing as we go.
Speaker 1: So I was just I wanted to ask when it
Speaker 1: comes to these kinds of things, A how you attack it,
Speaker 1: are you electric or straight razors? And level of success
Speaker 1: rate when it comes to you know, getting what you're
Speaker 1: trying to accomplished completed without carving up your face. And
Speaker 1: so yeah, this morning, literally this was not a week
Speaker 1: of great sleep considering going to Arkansas, and we've got
Speaker 1: that's kind of like our kicker this morning and getting
Speaker 1: through and navigating all of that, well, I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: I wish it was alex Is Like when you say
Speaker 1: straight razor, you're talking Sweeney Todd or safety like the Gellette.
Speaker 2: Good News, the.
Speaker 1: The big you know, plastic you know, really inexpensive razor
Speaker 1: that you just kind of use and it's just like,
Speaker 1: you know, there you go. So no, it is not
Speaker 1: quite the Sweeney Todd kind of thing. Yeah, it is
Speaker 1: not the the demon barber Sweeney Todd. No, it is
Speaker 1: not that it is me and a straight razor disposable,
Speaker 1: except for now that I have this membership with the
Speaker 1: letter H and it's trying to be better. And like
Speaker 1: I said, I didn't know if I was just the
Speaker 1: clumsiest person on the planet. And obviously four card has
Speaker 1: confirmed that I in fact am the clumsiest person on
Speaker 1: the planet when it comes to razors. And that's not
Speaker 1: good for someone who spends a life on camera. It
Speaker 1: really is not, you know, because as much time as
Speaker 1: I spend on camera. That's why I went with the
Speaker 1: straight razor the disposable, which is no longer disposable since
Speaker 1: I have the age membership, but trying to navigate all
Speaker 1: of that get it to where it actually looks like
Speaker 1: I have in fact shape, because there are times where
Speaker 1: I'm missing corners and it's just a mess with the
Speaker 1: electric raser. So yeah, I just needed confirmation that I am,
Speaker 1: in fact the clumsiest person in the world when it
Speaker 1: comes to shaving. So that's basically it. And then with
Speaker 1: the guys, I was asking, Okay, how do you shave?
Speaker 1: And obviously you don't have as many errors as I do,
Speaker 1: but I just wanted to double check and see where
Speaker 1: you know where things were when it comes to all
Speaker 1: of that. So let me get the canvassing of opinions here. David,
Speaker 1: every other day shave before shower, wet facets and shaved
Speaker 1: gel not foam. And yeah, and it is with this
Speaker 1: h membership that I do have the gel that that.
Speaker 2: Works, that works on the grill, So yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: It is literally because and even if I do shave
Speaker 1: every day with this razor, with the disposable or the
Speaker 1: straight however you want to phrase it, I can't do
Speaker 1: it every day because once again it'll chew up my face.
Speaker 1: And so that's why you'll see me on the show
Speaker 1: sometimes with you know, the Miami vice growth day two.
Speaker 1: But after about day three it stops, anyway, I swear
Speaker 1: to god, stops after day three, doesn't get any worse,
Speaker 1: just get it, just stops. I don't know what it
Speaker 1: is that they're daring me to shave and carve up
Speaker 1: my face, and that happened this morning.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: So Emilio is single blades, safety raisor old fashioned SOUB
Speaker 1: synthetic shaving brush. Okay, that is very old school, and
Speaker 1: you probably you're far better at it than I, Alex,
Speaker 1: even though I'm always somewhere on the spectrum from stubble
Speaker 1: to beard. I do shave my cheeks every day, old
Speaker 1: school safety razor because the blades are cheap. Refuse to
Speaker 1: spend all that money on cartridges. So four card mock
Speaker 1: three since nineteen ninety five and not a single issue,
Speaker 1: the only issues when he's tried other types.
Speaker 2: Okay, but yeah, and for me, literally, I'm all.
Speaker 1: Over the place. It could be big, it could be
Speaker 1: good news. It could be this h membership that I
Speaker 1: currently have. I'm all over the place. It's like, look,
Speaker 1: give me something that has the film on the top
Speaker 1: to where I'm not really carving up my face, just
Speaker 1: the gel that helps out the jail strip on top
Speaker 1: and you know, sits there and helps code everything. As
Speaker 1: long as I've got that, then I'm in decent shape.
Speaker 1: David admitting he's not one hundred percent focused and go
Speaker 1: fast cut my face to shreds. Slow and focused move
Speaker 1: And that's what I tried to do. I mean, David,
Speaker 1: that's what I tried to do. But literally, as I
Speaker 1: was trying to get underneath and here to the top
Speaker 1: of the mustache, literally I just I missed it completely
Speaker 1: and I just gouged, and so it was all over
Speaker 1: the place. So I thought I was focused. But it's
Speaker 1: also very very early in a Monday morning. Abby has
Speaker 1: a son who's got an electric in the Hubby has
Speaker 1: a disposable well and Alex.
Speaker 2: It's not a straight razor.
Speaker 1: I don't it's like disposable, I guess it is probably
Speaker 1: the best way to phrase it. So, yeah, it's not
Speaker 1: like the long l thing like we see in you know,
Speaker 1: Demon Barber Sweeney Todd. No, it's not quite that it's
Speaker 1: not like the thing we see like in the old
Speaker 1: Wild West movies. I just always thought that.
Speaker 2: Is a straight razer.
Speaker 1: So okay, fine, let's see it's disposable. It is not straight, Yes, David,
Speaker 1: membership ones are sharper, need to be careful not to
Speaker 1: go laterally Jay Lesnick, Oh well, good morning, welcome Jay Lesnick.
Speaker 1: Do not be a stranger. Daily moisturizing is key. Dry
Speaker 1: skin more likely to be irritated. And yes, Derek, you
Speaker 1: are absolutely true. It is shaving down here. It is
Speaker 1: the SDH network, it is shaving down here. You've definitely
Speaker 1: pegged it right there. Absolutely true. It Ropes is a
Speaker 1: shaving expert. Absolutely absolutely. And then so Tom the head involved,
Speaker 1: shave it all in the shower actually effective anti fog
Speaker 1: mirror was the biggest challenge, okay. And then Emilio is
Speaker 1: after the shower. I just like shave first thing in
Speaker 1: the morning, just because it's there and you know, I'm
Speaker 1: getting everything done. And so it was like, okay, so
Speaker 1: that was me asking if I was clumsy. The answer
Speaker 1: is yes, welcome to SDIGHT shaving down here. That's that's
Speaker 1: definitely a plus one for you, Derek, Absolutely true. Well, done,
Speaker 1: well done on a Monday morning, You're you're processing things
Speaker 1: far faster than I am. That's opening Kickoff brought to

Speaker 1: sound and things like that from the match from the weekend.
Speaker 1: And it was one mil Darren Yappi, who I did
Speaker 1: not have on the Bingo card for you know, coming
Speaker 1: through the system with Rapids two and doing as well
Speaker 1: as he has. He seems to have stepped right in
Speaker 1: as they have sent Georgie Mihailovich to Toronto. We get
Speaker 1: to see him on Sunday, so he his his visit
Speaker 1: with Atlanta United this season has just been pushed back
Speaker 1: a week. So one nilt by Darren Yappie and then
Speaker 1: all of ninety seconds later, here's your equalizer once again.
Speaker 1: Mike and Jason on the call. Courtesy of ninety two
Speaker 1: nine the game in the Odyssey app click.
Speaker 3: Toick gregorson deep in the play on the right wing
Speaker 3: head to Hernandez now and the right attacking third center

Speaker 6: Shop Gosso.
Speaker 3: From Russia with love a long distance rocket by Alexei Moron.
Speaker 4: Ship to equalize.
Speaker 1: Tied at one at that point. And so that is
Speaker 1: the home radio version. And so what we also did
Speaker 1: is we went and got I thought we did.
Speaker 2: Hang on just a second? Did did I not upload this? Uh?
Speaker 2: So there's that one. There's that one. There's that one.
Speaker 2: There's that one. Oh, I guess I didn't. So hang
Speaker 2: on just a second, and we're gonna.
Speaker 1: We're gonna do some We're gonna do some uh we're
Speaker 1: gonna do some live stuff here.
Speaker 2: Hang on? Uh was that was that that one?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Because I think, yeah, okay, so that is I thought
Speaker 1: that I had pulled it. I guess I didn't, all right, well,
Speaker 1: so much for that idea. So I had thought that
Speaker 1: I had pulled the Mark Rogandino and and he uh
Speaker 1: he Pierced version, but I guess I haven't. So anyway,
Speaker 1: that was how it was one one and then Rafa
Speaker 1: Navajo ends up with a brace. You get your your
Speaker 1: p K and then the brace in short order, and
Speaker 1: Navajo get two goals in seven minutes, sixty fourth and seventy. First,
Speaker 1: I still have to look at the Barrett call contact,
Speaker 1: you know, if the leg is out. It barely looked
Speaker 1: like it was any kind of contact to me, And
Speaker 1: it looked more like there was like falling over the
Speaker 1: leg than anything else, just kind of working your way
Speaker 1: around it and falling down.
Speaker 2: So I'll go back and look.
Speaker 1: But my initial thought was that it was just something
Speaker 1: that was fallen over and not fallen down upon the
Speaker 1: entire time. So, uh is this is this the No,
Speaker 1: that's not it because that's too short. Uh Oh, I
Speaker 1: think I'm out of bypassed it.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, so much for that.
Speaker 1: Like I said, I thought I had downloaded the Rogandino
Speaker 1: and Pierce version from Apple, but I guess I was
Speaker 1: sadly mistaken. What else isn't it. Well, no, there it is.
Speaker 1: Hang on, it's a debt that actually I may have
Speaker 1: it here. Hang on just a second, because you think
Speaker 1: you load something and then you're kind of like, well, no,
Speaker 1: you load it, and then you don't. So all right
Speaker 1: at his desk top and he said, this is me
Speaker 1: doing This is me doing the goals in like real time.
Speaker 1: This is me producing a show in real time. And
Speaker 1: I apologize for that. So I thought i'd loaded it,
Speaker 1: but I didn't. But I'm loading it now and then
Speaker 1: we'll play the mark Rogandino and he pierce. Version of
Speaker 1: what happened to tie the match at one courtesy of
Speaker 1: our friends at Apple TV Plus and Major League Soccer.
Speaker 2: Lennon.
Speaker 7: With the overlap, the ball will come back inside its
Speaker 7: leash white.
Speaker 2: For Fernandez, aren't you bending him with his foot?
Speaker 4: And it's one one.
Speaker 2: The league lasted all of about ninety seconds to just.
Speaker 7: Look at the quality on the ball, constantly looking around
Speaker 7: trying to see where the space is realized there's no
Speaker 7: pressure on him, knows he could take a lateral touch
Speaker 7: and just strike this ball through a crowded area where
Speaker 7: Zach Stephan Kent's until it's too late. What a fantastic
Speaker 7: strike with the left foot. He's got that quality. We've
Speaker 7: seen it on a few of.
Speaker 2: His final balls in this first half.
Speaker 7: But to go solo on that one, Zach Stefan left
Speaker 7: stranded with no chance of making a save.
Speaker 1: There, there's your Heath Pierce and Mark Rogandino call since
Speaker 1: I finally found it on my desktop. There it is
Speaker 1: to tie things up at one and then the two
Speaker 1: goals from the Bajo in seven minutes and it ends
Speaker 1: up with at Lanty United taking it on the chin
Speaker 1: by two, three to one in Colorado. Getting ready now
Speaker 1: for Sunday afternoon four o'clock where we're seeing this season,
Speaker 1: we're seeing Apple TV kind of give you a couple
Speaker 1: of different choices leading into Sunday Night soccer, and so
Speaker 1: at Landy United in Toronto is that choice coming into
Speaker 1: the weekend looking at lineups to start and this goes
Speaker 1: to a question with Emilio in the rundown wondering.
Speaker 2: About Noah Cobb.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that in a second starting lineup for
Speaker 1: at Lanty Nighted Brad Gazan left to right, Brooks Lennon,
Speaker 1: me Hi Gregorson and Ronald Hernandez two in front of them,
Speaker 1: Will Riley and Bart Sleash. Your three midfielders, Saba, Alexi,
Speaker 1: who had the highest ranking for Atlanta United players in
Speaker 1: the match, and Miguel, and then you had Latte lot
Speaker 1: up top.
Speaker 2: You had in substitutions.
Speaker 1: Bearkal comes in for Saba in the fifty eight, Luke,
Speaker 1: Tristan and Steven Alzate in a triple change with seventeen
Speaker 1: to go for Ronald, Will and Miggy and the Nick
Speaker 1: Csse comes in for Brooks Lennon and that was your
Speaker 1: your subs. But Alexi on the day it was ninety minutes,
Speaker 1: had the goal, fifty nine touches, eighty two percent passing
Speaker 1: at thirty seven to forty five. You end up with
Speaker 1: one shot on target, had a shot block, three of
Speaker 1: four on his ground duels, fouled twice, had one block,
Speaker 1: a tackle and a dribbled pass for Alexi Midanchuk. That
Speaker 1: was the numbers for Alexi, highest rated for Atlanta United
Speaker 1: on the On the night, it was a a five
Speaker 1: to four to one ish kind of a thing for
Speaker 1: Chris Armis, Zach stefanin Nett left to right, Murphy Vines, Maksu,
Speaker 1: Noah Cobb, Reggie Cannon, four in the midfield, Yappie Lauraz
Speaker 1: Cole Bassett and Calvin Harris, and Rafa Navajo ends up
Speaker 1: with a perfect ten on sofa score. I cannot remember
Speaker 1: the last time I've seen a perfect ten on a
Speaker 1: scoring sheet, and Haav Navajo ends up with that. With
Speaker 1: the two goals the x x ab at a one
Speaker 1: point two seven two goals and an assist, two shots
Speaker 1: on target, one off, one block, five for five on
Speaker 1: the dribble for Navajo, won the penalty forty six touches
Speaker 1: twelve to twenty one, passing at fifty seven percent, two
Speaker 1: key passes, three crosses, all of them connected, one for
Speaker 1: two on long balls, one big chance created twelve of
Speaker 1: twenty on his duels, seven to nine on the ground,
Speaker 1: five of eleven in the air. It was a fouled
Speaker 1: once and a total tackle for Navajo. A full night
Speaker 1: for Rafanavajo and he ends up as player of the
Speaker 1: match with a perfect ten on the night. To answer
Speaker 1: your question, Emilia, there are times when players are transferred
Speaker 1: and it is in the it is in the deal
Speaker 1: that they are not supposed to play against their loaning clube.
Speaker 1: We see this in tournaments in England. A lot where
Speaker 1: if or even in matchups in the Premier League where
Speaker 1: you see folks that are loaned out to another club,
Speaker 1: but it is in the language of the loan that
Speaker 1: that player is not supposed to play against his old club.
Speaker 1: I do not believe, obviously, with Noah playing, that that
Speaker 1: language was placed in anything involving.
Speaker 2: A loan deal with Atlanta United.
Speaker 1: So it comes down to the wording of the transfer
Speaker 1: as to whether or not there is going to be
Speaker 1: a playing exclusivity when you're going up against your old team.
Speaker 1: So I think it's fair to say that, and I
Speaker 1: think that I know that. I think Ronnie had mentioned.
Speaker 1: Ronnie Dialy had mentioned in one of his press conferences
Speaker 1: that he didn't think Noah was playing, But the verbiage
Speaker 1: in the deal, my guess is is that it was
Speaker 1: not anything that excluded him from playing against anyone. So
Speaker 1: Noah Cobb was in the lineup. And by the way,
Speaker 1: Noah's numbers.
Speaker 2: On the night.
Speaker 1: Right there second highest on the back line with Sam
Speaker 1: Vines behind Maksuit at a six point nine ninety minutes,
Speaker 1: five clears, a block, three tackles, four for four, and
Speaker 1: his ground duels did not win one in the air
Speaker 1: fouled once, sixty one touches, forty two to forty eight,
Speaker 1: passing at eighty eight percent, two for four and long balls.
Speaker 1: And that was Noah Cobb's night in Commerce City, Colorado.
Speaker 1: So that was that's what you were looking at with
Speaker 1: Noah Cobb as a part of that back five for
Speaker 1: Chris Armis going and a five to one against Atlanda United. So,
Speaker 1: uh yeah, and I know that that that was a question,
Speaker 1: Amelia that some folks did have. Is that why? You know,
Speaker 1: why is why is Noah? Why is Noah playing? I
Speaker 1: thought he wasn't supposed to those kinds of things. It's
Speaker 1: in the language of the deal when you make the
Speaker 1: deal that if there is an exclusion, it's in the
Speaker 1: in the contract. Apparently there was no such exclusion, and
Speaker 1: so Noah could play against anybody, let's see. So yeah,
Speaker 1: and it does make it awkward. I mean it does,
Speaker 1: and you know it. You know it was what it was.
Speaker 1: And so Noah playing against his old teammates got a
Speaker 1: couple of jerseys after the match as well. But obviously
Speaker 1: the question being this season, and once again this is
Speaker 1: a loan option for Colorado, does Colorado at the end
Speaker 1: of the year, come up with something where they want
Speaker 1: to turn this into a transaction. Noah for Atlanta United,
Speaker 1: he's under contract through next season with an option year
Speaker 1: for twenty seven. So that's what to keep an eye
Speaker 1: on when it comes to Noah Cob and his.
Speaker 2: Future.
Speaker 1: And right now he is making one of the tears.
Speaker 1: It's not quite rookie men, but he is making right now.
Speaker 1: He's one hundred nine thousand dollars, so he is a
Speaker 1: navigable contract figure, even for Colorado. And that's what you
Speaker 1: are that's what you're staring at with Noah Cob one
Speaker 1: hundred and nine thousand on the books with Atlanta United,
Speaker 1: contract through next season with an option year for next
Speaker 1: and so that's what you were looking at with Atlanta
Speaker 1: and Colorado and Victor Rivas in the middle. Bark Keeler's
Speaker 1: coming up in about six minutes to discuss that and a
Speaker 1: couple of other things and actually give Victor Rivas a compliment.
Speaker 2: And for those that were watching.
Speaker 1: The twos match last night or listening to the twos
Speaker 1: match last night, it was first forty five seemed to
Speaker 1: be okay from.
Speaker 2: The middle, and then it was.
Speaker 1: Players getting emotional and then just losing control of the
Speaker 1: forty five. It was a very un It was a
Speaker 1: very uneven second forty five up at the fraction last night.
Speaker 1: Players having to navigated a lot of yellow cards, and
Speaker 1: I think there were four yellow cards issued in the
Speaker 1: second thirty minutes. Actually, I don't think there was a
Speaker 1: yellow card issued until the sixty first. In the second half.
Speaker 1: You had one on each side in the first half.
Speaker 1: Toto Maju actually working his way through most of the
Speaker 1: match with a yellow card, got the early yellow and
Speaker 1: navigated through it. Twos review once again, we'll have Patrick Waya,
Speaker 1: we'll have the goal from the that you'll hear in
Speaker 1: the show and post came from Jose Silva, Patrick Waya
Speaker 1: and Toto Majou. And so that's what you're, uh, that's
Speaker 1: what you're staring at, Emilio. Granted me, I just got here.
Speaker 1: Should I be concerned or is it more the supporting backs?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's uh, you're trying to get me high integrated.
Speaker 1: You're trying to get Barack call integrated and trying to
Speaker 1: figure out, Okay, who works well and with what and
Speaker 1: with whom, And so I know that you're having to
Speaker 1: do this on the fly.
Speaker 2: In game state.
Speaker 1: But no, I mean what we've seen from an am high,
Speaker 1: especially at home, has been someone who has been taking
Speaker 1: charge at the back. It's been very vocal, been directing
Speaker 1: traffic a lot. But you will have those moments until
Speaker 1: everyone is second nature in game state, where you're gonna
Speaker 1: have communication, you know, misunderstandings and things like that. Barrack
Speaker 1: Call is one of those physical guys that you bring
Speaker 1: in and I look at the like I said, I
Speaker 1: go back to the Montreal matchup to let me know
Speaker 1: what kind of player one Barra Call is, or basically
Speaker 1: Prince Owusu, who had been falling down and trying to
Speaker 1: draw whatever the entire evening basically tried to do the
Speaker 1: same thing with Barrack Call. A bounces off Barrack Call.
Speaker 1: Bart Call looks at him and he's like, you know,
Speaker 1: get up. So barat Call isn't going to take any
Speaker 1: ish from anybody. I think that's been missing on the back.
Speaker 1: And then you are looking for integration and so you
Speaker 1: have it's like this, and this is what Abel was
Speaker 1: talking about earlier here in the show, is that you
Speaker 1: have this time left this season. You've brought in Lao
Speaker 1: a Fonso You've brought in an Amy High, You've brought
Speaker 1: in one Bara Call, you brought in Steven al Zat.
Speaker 1: How do these faces integrate with what Ronnie Didla wants
Speaker 1: to do, and how do they integrate with everybody else around?
Speaker 1: And how did the guys who are here, how are
Speaker 1: they coming together with the new guys and so and
Speaker 1: so that's what that's what you're looking at. So that's uh,
Speaker 1: that's where and you know Tom is still looking for
Speaker 1: an explanation on the on the deal with Noah Cobb,
Speaker 1: and I think that where Noah is concerned what you
Speaker 1: have done with Atlanta United is and it's not the
Speaker 1: first time that this has happened, and.
Speaker 2: You have someone who is of.
Speaker 1: Market value and you can get quality in league garber
Speaker 1: Bucks or however you want to phrase it, and it
Speaker 1: can help you bring in experienced players. It's not the
Speaker 1: first time that this has happened where a player has
Speaker 1: developed for Atlanta United and moved on and helped them
Speaker 1: out financially to bring in other players. So that's that's
Speaker 1: kind of where I'm looking at it with Noah, is
Speaker 1: that I know that you have folks on the back
Speaker 1: line at the time that were not as marketable. And
Speaker 1: so if you are trying to bring in resources and
Speaker 1: bring in players, then at times you do have to
Speaker 1: look at your roster and look at, Okay, what is
Speaker 1: who is marketable, who's the most marketable, and what can
Speaker 1: I get from that? And you look at then you
Speaker 1: look at someone like Noah, and then Colorado sits there
Speaker 1: and comes calling, and then you end up with you
Speaker 1: end up with that transaction with Colorado, so and that
Speaker 1: and Tom is saying didn't need to bring in an
Speaker 1: experienced player doing fine should have been a part of
Speaker 1: the future and a piece to build around. And there
Speaker 1: is that, you know, there is obviously there is that
Speaker 1: school of thought. You're not alone in that assessment. So
Speaker 1: but that comes down to what you as a front
Speaker 1: office and a staff are looking to build going forward.
Speaker 1: And if you're trying to win and at the same
Speaker 1: time build for twenty six, then you're looking at bringing
Speaker 1: in experienced players to help you out at center back, because,
Speaker 1: as I have heard from a lot of you all
Speaker 1: season long, you haven't been happy with the center back pairings,
Speaker 1: and so you're trying to to change things up at
Speaker 1: center back, and at times sometimes you have to sacrifice
Speaker 1: to bring in in a position where you there you
Speaker 1: have a position of need. So I mean that's like
Speaker 1: I said, I'm trying to walk through it with you
Speaker 1: as we're processing it. So uh and and Derek, I
Speaker 1: know that there are a lot of folks who like
Speaker 1: Abe an hour number here in this hour have been
Speaker 1: like we'll play the kids, and we're getting to that.
Speaker 1: You're seeing that, and you're getting minutes out of Matt,
Speaker 1: You're getting minutes out of Jay, You're getting minutes out
Speaker 1: of Will Riley, and it is going to be you know,
Speaker 1: we got out of JAYD and Hibberto. So it's you're
Speaker 1: seeing that as well as just there are times when
Speaker 1: you feel like you have to make a transaction and
Speaker 1: that just happens to be the one that we're talking
Speaker 1: about our number two and it is time to bring
Speaker 1: in Bart Keeler and the soccer for us PO D
Speaker 1: and the the uh low down dirty cheaters that that
Speaker 1: are associated with folks in the Premier League. You know,
Speaker 1: it's Ah, I know that lowdown dirty cheaters have various identities,
Speaker 1: and I know that Bart has them in files.
Speaker 2: Bart.
Speaker 1: When it comes to your low down dirty cheaters, who well,
Speaker 1: who is on your list low down dirty theaters across
Speaker 1: the board.
Speaker 5: Okay, well, first I'm going to do a quick audio check.
Speaker 5: Do I sound okay?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You sound fine? Yeah, you just sound like that.
Speaker 1: There is no microphone plugged in like normal because unfortunately though,
Speaker 1: that's because, as you said last time you were on,
Speaker 1: you were going to be in a different environ and
Speaker 1: and that is why, uh there is a logo where
Speaker 1: your face normally is as opposed to your face being
Speaker 1: where your face normally is.
Speaker 5: That is correct, all right. So the list of low
Speaker 5: down dirty cheaters, John, it's not very long, but it
Speaker 5: does mention multiple, multiple clubs that to take advantage of
Speaker 5: loopholes and possibly make rules that don't exist and only
Speaker 5: make them apply to them. So obviously we jokingly talked
Speaker 5: about Charlotte as lowdown dirty teeters. That is obviously more
Speaker 5: of a reference to the Alabama Tennessee rivalry because that's
Speaker 5: where we're at in the world of American soccer. But
Speaker 5: on the list of lowdown dirty tutors incorporated, I think
Speaker 5: back in twenty twenty one, John, when a certain club
Speaker 5: became real, and it's the club from South Florida that
Speaker 5: I think we all are aware of who love to
Speaker 5: make rules up that only apply to them.
Speaker 2: And and frind.
Speaker 5: Another one that is a little bit older that does
Speaker 5: fall into the lowdown dirty teeters list is Manchester City.
Speaker 5: And I don't think I need to explain too harsh
Speaker 5: harshly why they are on that list, But they love
Speaker 5: to cheat, They love to hide evidence, they love to
Speaker 5: litigate until it is no longer affordable for those parties
Speaker 5: litigating them because they have more money than God himself.
Speaker 1: And you know what, then, aren't they just low down
Speaker 1: dirty litigators as opposed to low down dirty cheating.
Speaker 5: They cheat and then they litigate because, as we all
Speaker 5: know in America, you can litigate your way out of
Speaker 5: wrongdoing if you just continue to litigate. They just feel
Speaker 5: like they just they just they love to again take
Speaker 5: advantage of certain rules and or not rules that they
Speaker 5: can manipulate, just because they have the money to do so.
Speaker 5: You know, I think that's a good start of the
Speaker 5: list of people who I just viscerally react to being cheaters.
Speaker 5: But you know that said, I would like for my
Speaker 5: clubs to maybe take a little bit more advantage of
Speaker 5: the gray areas and the laws of the game and
Speaker 5: the rules that leagues.
Speaker 1: Yes, and so you know you're bringing folks that wish
Speaker 1: to not take any issh from anybody, and uh, you
Speaker 1: know you can kind of straddle the line as best
Speaker 1: as best as humanly possible and and not get any cards.
Speaker 1: So you're not a part of this segment. You discuss
Speaker 1: things on Mondays.
Speaker 5: So oh and LCSTA.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I could I get an.
Speaker 5: Actual player on the list and I think, yeah, I.
Speaker 1: Can definitely see what you're what you're chasing there as
Speaker 1: well when it comes to Lucco.
Speaker 2: Uh okay.
Speaker 1: So there were a couple of moments in cards and
Speaker 1: calls before we get into week one, Weekend one of
Speaker 1: the Premier League which ends later today for Monday Night
Speaker 1: football with Leeds in Everton.
Speaker 2: Uh, there were obviously everyone.
Speaker 5: Wants to see on Monday night football Buffalo versus Cleveland.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well the folks in the northeast will and that
Speaker 1: might be your audience. There was there was a play
Speaker 1: in in the Premier League that really raised a lot
Speaker 1: of the collec active eyebrow.
Speaker 2: And it is a literally.
Speaker 1: It is a rule if I'm not mistaken, that is
Speaker 1: six years old that really isn't talked about a lot,
Speaker 1: and it ended up making its making its way in
Speaker 1: the goal is draw with Chelsea and Crystal Palace. And
Speaker 1: so here's what happened, was this Asa scores in the
Speaker 1: thirteenth minute while he's still wearing Crystal Palace jersey. Because
Speaker 1: there are conversations with other clubs. We'll get into that
Speaker 1: and bit so he shoots the ball, gets it into
Speaker 1: that past Sanchez, but Var identifies an infringement in the wall,
Speaker 1: sends a note to the center reth to go to
Speaker 1: the pitch side monitor and so the goal, after review
Speaker 1: is wiped off the board. And what the deal is,
Speaker 1: apparently is back in twenty nineteen when the law was
Speaker 1: changed to state attackers have to be a meter away.
Speaker 2: What it's a meter two point two.
Speaker 5: Feet a big step.
Speaker 1: Okay, so it's a big step from so all right,
Speaker 1: so let me get this straight. So back in twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: so six years ago, law was changed to state attackers
Speaker 1: must be at least one meter away, so a step
Speaker 1: from a defensive wall of three or more players.
Speaker 5: Correct. What, Yeah, So this is I don't want to
Speaker 5: say little known because I think referees are aware of it,
Speaker 5: but I think a lot of fans wouldn't necessarily see
Speaker 5: this as something that greatly changed, right. I think we
Speaker 5: still see in a lot of setups that wall construction
Speaker 5: from an offensive standpoint, that is, yes, it's a meter away,
Speaker 5: but it's still there. So I think what people are
Speaker 5: confused by is just because they're not really looking at
Speaker 5: this as part of the ceremonial free kick procedure, because
Speaker 5: they just see it as, oh, they set up the wall.
Speaker 5: But yeah, so if you have a wall of more
Speaker 5: than three players three to then the attacking team needs
Speaker 5: to be at least a meter away from that wall.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 5: I don't have a great answer as to why this
Speaker 5: modification was made to the laws of the game, my
Speaker 5: best guess, and I think the way that it was
Speaker 5: kind of interpreted was a little bit for one or
Speaker 5: two things. One is a safety issue, you know, obviously
Speaker 5: putting more people in the wall leads to possibly more
Speaker 5: people getting hurt. But also because this was kind of
Speaker 5: a way to remove any hands the play on both sides.
Speaker 2: I was going to say, I was going to say Shenanigans,
Speaker 2: but yeah.
Speaker 5: Yeah, shenanigans of any sort right on from both sides,
Speaker 5: which John we saw in this free kick, and I
Speaker 5: do think that is one of the reasons why this
Speaker 5: particular free kick was called back. Also because maybe Chelsea
Speaker 5: doing a little bit of getting some love from referees
Speaker 5: and leagues that you know, they may have bon paid for.
Speaker 5: But this was a incident. I think that you're not
Speaker 5: gonna this incident is why we try to take that hole.
Speaker 5: You need to have a yard away from the wall
Speaker 5: because the Crystal Palace attacker just bulldoze as a Chelsea
Speaker 5: player into the wall and you know, does affect the wall.
Speaker 5: So the reason why I think this var review was
Speaker 5: triggered was because of the gross infringement upon not just
Speaker 5: this law of the game, but also because it greatly
Speaker 5: interfered with the result of this free kick.
Speaker 1: And there is a still that is up in Traditionally,
Speaker 1: what we do is we use the Dale Johnson column
Speaker 1: for stuff overseas, and if there's anything in Major League
Speaker 1: Soccer then we'll reference it here from our own research.
Speaker 2: But there's a still where you got a lot of folks.
Speaker 1: That are on the ground in January, and this is
Speaker 1: still from a January moment with Bournemouth and Chelsea, and
Speaker 1: so you Hadku Carella. Sorry Cookrea Now Koukorea into the
Speaker 1: wall right up against the born with players, which gives
Speaker 1: Reese James an opening, and it wasn't ruled out as
Speaker 1: Ku Korea moves into some meno and the goal stood
Speaker 1: because Kokorea's actions did not impact the goal as James's
Speaker 1: shot goes opposite corner, so it goes away from the play.
Speaker 1: Ku coreas slamming into the wall is given the okie doke.
Speaker 1: But what happened with Esse is said, No, that violates
Speaker 1: this rule and it is reviewable. The space away from
Speaker 1: as it is is laid out. The position of an
Speaker 1: attacking player close to the wall is reviewable. And that's
Speaker 1: what I'm sure that folks were trying to navigate and go, well,
Speaker 1: well but but but but but but that's the key
Speaker 1: is that the position of an attacking player close to
Speaker 1: the wall when it comes to restarts and such restarts
Speaker 1: can't be reviewed. But encroachment isn't a restart offense. And
Speaker 1: so it's.
Speaker 5: So basically that is kind of what they're saying. And
Speaker 5: I would say that if you had a player in
Speaker 5: the defensive wall who maybe took a step or five forward,
Speaker 5: you know, because that happens very often, and the referee
Speaker 5: didn't catch it. I would hope this is something that
Speaker 5: we can now put underneath that encroachment kind of idea.
Speaker 5: But also again I think what needs to be reminded
Speaker 5: is that the Premier League has different var standards and
Speaker 5: interpretations and you know, policies than other leagues have. I
Speaker 5: think we've talked about that almost ad nauseum on the
Speaker 5: show where because you know, the Premier League obviously knows
Speaker 5: better than anyone else who has ever decided to game.
Speaker 5: They have very different standards and levels of involvement that
Speaker 5: they kind of keep compared to others. They're the surround
Speaker 5: the world.
Speaker 1: And later down further in the column, there is a
Speaker 1: still of the moment of impact or just before the
Speaker 1: moment of impact and the setup where you have in
Speaker 1: front of Mark Gayhey, you have four Chelsea players and
Speaker 1: one laying down. I'm still team no man behind the wall.
Speaker 1: I mean just like look, stand up and give your
Speaker 1: keeper room to move. So you have four players in
Speaker 1: front of Gayhe directly, and then you have Chelsea Palace,
Speaker 1: Chelsea Palace and then Chelsea and so like literally it
Speaker 1: is it's two and two and then a third La
Speaker 1: Palace player behind but the interaction of the Chelsea Palace.
Speaker 1: Chelsea Palace is where the issue was with Esa and
Speaker 1: Gayhee and the players from Chelsea. So it's in that
Speaker 1: interaction of the second wall off to the side, not
Speaker 1: directly in front of the net, is what they're correct.
Speaker 2: Man, that.
Speaker 5: It impacted the result of the game. Which is why
Speaker 5: I think it is getting so much attention, John, because
Speaker 5: obviously if that goal stands, you know, granted, I think
Speaker 5: Jason Longshore would take me to task for saying that
Speaker 5: is the reason that the game did draw us or scoreless.
Speaker 5: But you know, you look at that moment Crystal Palace scores,
Speaker 5: they're up one nil. The game ended nil no, John,
Speaker 5: So you know there is a logical conclusion that that
Speaker 5: did cause Crystal Palace to lose out on two extra points.
Speaker 8: M hm.
Speaker 1: And so we'll keep an eye on those. We'll keep
Speaker 1: an eye on those two points as we go.
Speaker 5: Jason, I did not say that. I did not say
Speaker 5: the reference the outcome of the game. I didn't say that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so we'll keep an eye. We'll keep an eye
Speaker 1: on that. But yeah, it was just a six year
Speaker 1: old rule that kind of reared its head. You're kind
Speaker 1: of going wait what uh yeah, and again.
Speaker 5: John, because it's part of that setting up the wall
Speaker 5: what we call ceremonial free kick, which is, you know,
Speaker 5: say this is where the ball is. You draw the
Speaker 5: little white circle with the vanishing spreare, you go, okay, everyone,
Speaker 5: we're playing on my whistle. You tell the kicker don't
Speaker 5: do anything until I blow my whistle, and then you
Speaker 5: go okay, let's step it off. And you do the
Speaker 5: ten yards and you say while you're here, and you go,
Speaker 5: no wall I mean here, no wall I mean here,
Speaker 5: and then you go, okay, the wall is there, and
Speaker 5: then you gotta go set up everything. It just doesn't
Speaker 5: feel like a separate action because it is involved in
Speaker 5: all of that setup.
Speaker 1: Item number two Liverpool and Bournemouth. The possible red for
Speaker 1: Marcus Sinesi.
Speaker 2: Boy, yeah.
Speaker 1: This was early on Liverpool thirteenth minute. So Sinesse basically
Speaker 1: intercepts the pass and it looks like he commits a
Speaker 1: handball that keeps the striker from running through on goal
Speaker 1: a salat as most Slaw is trying to play to Ektk,
Speaker 1: so ref doesn't spot it issues a handball uh to
Speaker 1: Liverpool's Cody gakpo Var goes back to red for dog
Speaker 1: so on Sinesse and and we'll get to the gag
Speaker 1: poll later. But there's a still it's posted from Getty
Speaker 1: where Sinessei literally looks like he's trying to go just
Speaker 1: full blown volleyball dig and keep it away from a
Speaker 1: on the through ball. So what happened here?
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well, john I don't know. I think the best
Speaker 5: explanation that Dale Johnson puts in his article, and this
Speaker 5: has to be the only explanation, is that the var
Speaker 5: in this situation was so focused on the initial handball.
Speaker 5: When that ball is played through the fender, it comes
Speaker 5: he tries to control it with his thigh with the
Speaker 5: upper leg. It hits the upper leg and then it
Speaker 5: bounces up and hits a non playable part of the arm.
Speaker 5: But in this case, we do allow that as a
Speaker 5: natural thing that happens while playing soccer. Unfortunately, despite these
Speaker 5: players getting paid buckets of money, sometimes they don't control
Speaker 5: everything perfectly and the ball's going to maybe ricochet up
Speaker 5: into their arm and that's not supposed to be deemed
Speaker 5: a handball despite it being a very advantageous situation. So
Speaker 5: I think the best explanation is VR was looking at
Speaker 5: that and then didn't look at the fact that the
Speaker 5: player clearly tries to reach out and like a cat
Speaker 5: swatting a toy, tries to knock the ball away, and
Speaker 5: that I think the problem also is that the that
Speaker 5: action isn't seeing what like, you can't see that it
Speaker 5: actually touched the ball with a naked eye, So that
Speaker 5: wasn't initially said, oh we need to review that too.
Speaker 5: Does that make sense?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, but then you get into the whole Then
Speaker 1: you get into the whole thing of well, all right,
Speaker 1: so is var trying to hyper manage this because if
Speaker 1: you don't see the initial contact at real speed, then
Speaker 1: you're having then you're going back and you're sitting there
Speaker 1: and you're trying to do you know, frame by frame
Speaker 1: analysis of the whole thing and sit there and go, oh,
Speaker 1: there was your moment as well.
Speaker 5: And that's what I do have a problem with this
Speaker 5: is that this was a moment of itself. Is that,
Speaker 5: like all of this was a not a singular moment,
Speaker 5: but was a moment right, Yes, there was a singular
Speaker 5: moment of the miscontrolled ball that then goes off of
Speaker 5: the arm. Okay, we settle that, but then that was
Speaker 5: not the end of this phase and play right, there
Speaker 5: is a whole other thing where you know, the defender
Speaker 5: tries to stop the ball again, and that because you
Speaker 5: could clearly see, in my opinion anyway on the live
Speaker 5: action and even on the initial replay, the players tries
Speaker 5: to slap the ball. I don't think I'm crazy there, John,
Speaker 5: I mean it looks like it looked like what he
Speaker 5: was trying to do in live action.
Speaker 2: But just because but then let me get into intent here.
Speaker 1: But just so just say that just because you try
Speaker 1: to take a swipe at your correct correct your fish
Speaker 1: on a hook and you miss, does that mean that
Speaker 1: you should still be penalized for trying to play with
Speaker 1: the fish at the end of the hook?
Speaker 5: Right? So again, I think it was missed, not because
Speaker 5: he didn't touch it. I think that's the problem is
Speaker 5: when you look at it, he makes contact with the
Speaker 5: ball in this scenario, right, you can, in my opinion,
Speaker 5: you can see a change of direction or a change
Speaker 5: of spin on the ball. It may not be super
Speaker 5: it may not be super obvious or or changed drastically,
Speaker 5: but you could see. So that's that's kind of my point, John,
Speaker 5: is like you could see him attempt to do it. So, yes,
Speaker 5: you should check that because in this situation it's it
Speaker 5: would be in my opinion, a dog's the red card.
Speaker 5: Certainly for this scenario being handball this, it's going to
Speaker 5: be a red card.
Speaker 1: What about having it literally at the halfway line?
Speaker 2: I mean, that's that's not well.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but in this scenario, John, again the four d's
Speaker 5: of dogs, so distance, direction, defenders, and then direction a
Speaker 5: Distancecuse me, we're all kind of met right, Like the
Speaker 5: distance to goal at this scenario, Yes, I understand it's halfway,
Speaker 5: but then you look at Okay, well he's not like
Speaker 5: super close, but the distance that the player would have
Speaker 5: been to the ball would have been pretty I mean
Speaker 5: that's why the player tried to swap the ball away,
Speaker 5: because the attacker would have been able to control the
Speaker 5: balls within a playable distance for sure. There are no
Speaker 5: other defenders past this. The direction of play is very
Speaker 5: much headed toward goal, and in this scenario, John, despite
Speaker 5: what I'm sure Liverpool fans may think of Cody Kappo's
Speaker 5: finishing abilities, this is an obvious goal scoring opportunity with
Speaker 5: a player of a professional level getting the ball up
Speaker 5: midfield with no one behind, no other defenders between him
Speaker 5: and the goal. Does that make sense?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so it's.
Speaker 5: An obvious goal scoring opportunity. It's what should have happened
Speaker 5: on that fateful night in Nashville back in twenty twenty.
Speaker 5: But their MLS referees socided that Nashville deserves some credit there.
Speaker 5: And I will never not forgive anything about that night
Speaker 5: and will continue to say that that was that's where
Speaker 5: it all went wrong. It would agree with me, I'm sure,
Speaker 5: but this is definitely a red a red car jobs
Speaker 5: situation because while I agree we're not like two meters
Speaker 5: from goal, you have to ask yourself, well, is this
Speaker 5: distance right? With all the other factors, this distance is
Speaker 5: still an obvious goal scoring opportunity. That's the obvious opportunity
Speaker 5: he will score because I mean, look, he could very
Speaker 5: he could very well take a touch, take another touch,
Speaker 5: and his touch is terrible and it goes right to
Speaker 5: the goalkeeper. But there are still an obvious goal scoring opportunity.
Speaker 5: I mean, Tristan Miyamba had an obvious goal scoring opportunity.
Speaker 5: That doesn't mean that it's going.
Speaker 1: To result in the goal, right, So now I have
Speaker 1: a philosophical question. After you give your flowers since the heart.
Speaker 5: Oh the way, John, I have one more from early
Speaker 5: thing I got just where we're still we're still there.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 5: These referee uniforms Sean are hideous. They are terrible. Not
Speaker 5: only do the shirts look like they came out there
Speaker 5: and there. I've already started sweating, which we know is
Speaker 5: impossible at England because it never gets above sixty nine
Speaker 5: degrees correct, but it also the shorts with the white
Speaker 5: stripes down the side. Every American referee right now is
Speaker 5: screaming because those look like the shorts we are told
Speaker 5: never ever, ever, ever ever wear, John, unless you are
Speaker 5: the fourteen year old kid who's in his first ever
Speaker 5: time refereeing because he's wearing his player shorts and hey,
Speaker 5: we're just happy you're here. They look so unprofessional and
Speaker 5: I won't even get into the fit. They don't look
Speaker 5: like they fit the referee as well. They got water
Speaker 5: splashes on them. What is going on? They got the
Speaker 5: running like reflective parts around the shoulders. I mean, Puma
Speaker 5: is a disgrace. Right now, this is terrible.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, nothing like trying to make your your your
Speaker 1: your center f stand out even more.
Speaker 5: Oh my goodness, They're bad John, They're bad. They're bad.
Speaker 5: They're bad, They're bad.
Speaker 1: Uh, you wanted to hand out some flowers? And as
Speaker 1: I mentioned when I was doing the introduction to the show,
Speaker 1: this has traditionally been a segment where we want to
Speaker 1: be critical because we want the game to grow. But
Speaker 1: this is the first time, I think, in cards and
Speaker 1: calls and roughing down here where we have actually given
Speaker 1: check marks and checkpluses and silver stars at the top
Speaker 1: of the test. I mean, what the heck happen in here?
Speaker 5: So, first off, unfortunately this goes against our beloved Atlanta United,
Speaker 5: but the third goal that Colorado scores is a great
Speaker 5: example of a referee doing both a wait and see
Speaker 5: and advantage scenario. Right. I think it's fair to say
Speaker 5: that was that Mehai who?
Speaker 2: Or was that Bara call?
Speaker 5: Who fouls the Colorado attacker coming into the boxom ball? Yeah,
Speaker 5: it very much looks like it's a foul, even to
Speaker 5: the point where maybe not clear clear cut. But as
Speaker 5: a referee, what the what victory Buss does here is
Speaker 5: he goes, oh, that is an action that I need
Speaker 5: to be aware of. I don't know if he thought
Speaker 5: it was a foul or not. We don't know. For sure,
Speaker 5: but he then saw that ball after that contact go
Speaker 5: directly to an attacking player inside the penalty area in
Speaker 5: a very advantageous situation. So he waited and saw and
Speaker 5: waited to see what happened. Eventually ends up calling like
Speaker 5: not fully playing advantage because that's not what we have
Speaker 5: to do here, but he lets the advantage play out.
Speaker 5: He says, oh, Colorado is still in an attacking phase here.
Speaker 5: They still have possession of the ball, they're still within
Speaker 5: the penalty area, and obviously Colorado and scores. And look,
Speaker 5: we can all hate on Brad Buzan when that time comes.
Speaker 5: But caught everyone by surprise. I think is fair to
Speaker 5: say this was a very good piece of refereeing when
Speaker 5: it comes to the wait and see approach, just going
Speaker 5: I think I saw something. Let's see how this plays out,
Speaker 5: or let's see what happens here. But he said, okay,
Speaker 5: well I'm not gonna just blow the whistle because that's
Speaker 5: all found. Allow the ball to run. Sees that there's
Speaker 5: an advantage. Obviously that advantage ends in a goal, and
Speaker 5: that's that's good refereeing and a great example of why
Speaker 5: as soccer referees we don't run around with the whistle
Speaker 5: in our mouth. In basketball, that's a foul rights fou
Speaker 5: In soccer we get to go all out of it.
Speaker 5: So my philosophy partly against our irish.
Speaker 2: Yes, beloved, Yes.
Speaker 1: So my question for you philosophically this morning is how
Speaker 1: difficult is it to be consistent over ninety minutes on
Speaker 1: the norm because you could have a you could have
Speaker 1: a match be what you navigate and everything is fine,
Speaker 1: and you have you've set your boundaries and you've set
Speaker 1: your pacing, and everybody knows what to expect. And then
Speaker 1: if in the second forty five emotions get heated and
Speaker 1: your emotions as center f get elevated in that, and
Speaker 1: you get kind of caught up in that instead of
Speaker 1: trying to navigate the pacing that you set in the
Speaker 1: first forty five, how difficult is it to stay within
Speaker 1: yourself and the parameters that you have set in a match?
Speaker 1: Just in general, just in general terms, how difficult is
Speaker 1: it to stay consistent and level headed over a ninety
Speaker 1: minute period with your philosophy that you see that you
Speaker 1: set up in a.
Speaker 5: Man Well, I think there are two different things, John,
Speaker 5: and I'm gonna say that you shouldn't be consistent throughout
Speaker 5: ninety minutes because the match is going to change. Therefore,
Speaker 5: you're going to have to change your approach. Right, as
Speaker 5: you just said, first forty five minutes, everyone's friends. They're
Speaker 5: making flower crowns, they're holding hands, they're having a great time.
Speaker 5: Something happens at the locker room and half time and
Speaker 5: all of a sudden they come out and now they're saying, well,
Speaker 5: somehow they brought a knife to a gunfight, and some
Speaker 5: dudes got an AK forty seven to the other side,
Speaker 5: and one dude's over there, you know, launching Handgrid aids, well, yeah,
Speaker 5: we got to change our approach. So consistency though about
Speaker 5: our mindset, about our level headedness. I get what you're saying,
Speaker 5: But at the same time, I can't be levelheaded when
Speaker 5: guys are launching nukes at each other. We need to
Speaker 5: say whoa whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. Now, you are supposed
Speaker 5: to be an independent mediator. You're supposed to be a
Speaker 5: fair adjudicator, and that's what you have to keep that
Speaker 5: mindset of. I'm here to make sure this game is
Speaker 5: played in a fair manner, fair and safe. That's our goal,
Speaker 5: right Obviously, you know if you want to be level headed,
Speaker 5: you want to be neutral, what you want to be calm, cool, collected,
Speaker 5: and that that is the goal. But even still, you
Speaker 5: can't always be calm, cool, collected when major incidents break
Speaker 5: out because you kind of need to raise your energy
Speaker 5: level to match what's going on. Otherwise these guys are
Speaker 5: going to run the match themselves. And so I get
Speaker 5: what you're trying to ask, but the reality is no
Speaker 5: match is played under perfect conditions, right it ninety three
Speaker 5: degrees in one hundred million percent humidity, or you know,
Speaker 5: we've got the two biggest rivals in the world going
Speaker 5: off against each other, and we know that someone's about
Speaker 5: to throw a punch from the first time we you know,
Speaker 5: blow whistle, right, you have to be aware of what's
Speaker 5: going around this. So I would just say that you
Speaker 5: need to be aware, you need to be proactive, and
Speaker 5: you need to be fair. Again, we want fair and
Speaker 5: safe game. So I get what you're trying to ask,
Speaker 5: But again, if your goal is to be fair and safe,
Speaker 5: then I think the consistency will be there because you
Speaker 5: are still trying to call a game in a way
Speaker 5: that it needs to be called. But I mean again,
Speaker 5: over ninety minutes. It's really tough. And in fact, I
Speaker 5: worked with a referee, Naint Brian is really good referee.
Speaker 5: I've learned a lot from him and he always said,
Speaker 5: there's three phases of a match. There's setting the tempo,
Speaker 5: and then there's adjusting the tempo, and then there's maintaining
Speaker 5: the tempo. So you want to come out there in
Speaker 5: the first third of the match, maybe not third, but
Speaker 5: maybe ten minutes right and go depending on how long
Speaker 5: your match is. Yeah, okay, this is the match I
Speaker 5: want to see call we're gonna do this. We're gonna
Speaker 5: do this. Okay. Well, within i've been this, you may realize, oh,
Speaker 5: these guys aren't playing the way that I want to
Speaker 5: play that I want to see them play. And that
Speaker 5: happens a lot of times, and they're especially at my level.
Speaker 5: I'll use that because I think it allows for a
Speaker 5: little bit more variance. Unfortunately, every U fourteen match is
Speaker 5: not going to play out the same. It's just not.
Speaker 5: Sometimes they come out and the guys are especially the
Speaker 5: guys the girls because they are mature people. At that point.
Speaker 5: The guys come out and you know, there they forget
Speaker 5: that the goal of the day is to play soccer,
Speaker 5: and you know, there's things that are going on, like
Speaker 5: they're using their hands too much, they're you know, they're
Speaker 5: not really focused on when me win the ball. They're
Speaker 5: focused about running the guy over. And I got to go, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Speaker 5: That's not what we're here to play soccer. We're here
Speaker 5: to play soccer. We're not here to try to play
Speaker 5: bumper cards. Right. And So while I may come into
Speaker 5: the match saying this is what I want to see.
Speaker 5: I want to be on this and this and this,
Speaker 5: five ten minutes into the match and I go oof,
Speaker 5: all right, I got to adjust my perspective, my tempo,
Speaker 5: my control. And again it's adjusting to what the match
Speaker 5: is going. I may need to go a little harder.
Speaker 5: I maybe be a little softer, you know, I make
Speaker 5: it just need to go, well, this is how they
Speaker 5: want to play. So I got to adjust and say, well,
Speaker 5: if that's how they're going to do it and they're
Speaker 5: fine with it, then they're fine with it. That's that's
Speaker 5: what they want to do. Where am I going? Well,
Speaker 5: it seems like you know, we're causing problems. There's safety issues.
Speaker 5: I need to be a little more proactive and calling foul.
Speaker 5: So that's kind of that middle I don't want to
Speaker 5: say third, but like the third phase with them or
Speaker 5: the second phase of the matches to say that middle third. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and then you have at the end you're either maintaining
Speaker 5: your tempo or you're tightening it, depending on what the
Speaker 5: match wants out of you. So ideally you've set that
Speaker 5: standard and you go, this is what we're doing. Now,
Speaker 5: we've got it all. We're going to keep it the
Speaker 5: rest of the match. Again, sometimes it doesn't happen, but
Speaker 5: you want to just maintain your control over the match then,
Speaker 5: and it's hard. Those last ten minutes are tough, John,
Speaker 5: because you're a little tired. You've been running around for
Speaker 5: ninety minutes. Some dudes pissed off because the other dude
Speaker 5: did something or said something about his mom, you know,
Speaker 5: twenty five minutes ago, and that's still in the back
Speaker 5: of the mind. It's hard. And so consistency again is
Speaker 5: more about being fair and safe, not about the call
Speaker 5: from the first minute as the same as the call
Speaker 5: from the ninetieth minute.
Speaker 1: How hard is it to be consistent within the rhythm
Speaker 1: of a match with the personality that the match has
Speaker 1: and you're as a ref adjusting to it. Because there
Speaker 1: are matches where you know, first forty five your everything's
Speaker 1: everything's there, everything's managed, everyone knows the pacing, you know,
Speaker 1: the pacing is a center ref and then the game
Speaker 1: kind of gets away from you. How hard is it
Speaker 1: to once you've once a ref has lost control of
Speaker 1: a match emotionally what have you? How difficult is it
Speaker 1: for that ref to reclaim and get back under control
Speaker 1: or once a match is gone, are you chasing at
Speaker 1: that point?
Speaker 9: Yeah?
Speaker 5: I mean again, that's why we try to think of
Speaker 5: it as Okay, how do I respond to what's going on?
Speaker 5: Because you're right, it's it's hard to maintain full control.
Speaker 5: It's hard to I spent Again, these guys out there
Speaker 5: at the professional level, John are making a lot more
Speaker 5: money than the referees are. And while the referees, I
Speaker 5: will say, are mostly in very good shape, they're not
Speaker 5: training two hours a day plus then fitness training every
Speaker 5: day to you know, be the most elite athlete in
Speaker 5: the world. And I'm sure they're tracking their diet, but
Speaker 5: they're probably not. They probably don't have a team dietician
Speaker 5: preparing them breakfast lunch and dinner every day. So you know,
Speaker 5: when you're out there running around keeping up with all
Speaker 5: these guys, it is hard because you may not feel
Speaker 5: the match getting out of hand the way that we
Speaker 5: on TV might see it. It is so when you're
Speaker 5: right there in the think of it, sometimes you go,
Speaker 5: I feel good when you're talking about I'm keeping up
Speaker 5: at the pace of play. You know, I feel like
Speaker 5: I'm talking to the players decently. You know, yeah they're
Speaker 5: a little disrespectful, and yeah there's some fouls flying, but
Speaker 5: like you may not see it the way that on
Speaker 5: TV we see it. So I think that's kind of
Speaker 5: the problem is sometimes you're in there and you're going,
Speaker 5: I don't know, it feels fine to me. But also
Speaker 5: I think one of the things that referees need to
Speaker 5: do better at. And I think one of the things
Speaker 5: that some of the best referees that we've seen have
Speaker 5: is they have a personality and they know who they are.
Speaker 5: They're not changing that necessarily. Now you may alter it
Speaker 5: again when we are people in a workplace. Okay, you know, John,
Speaker 5: you're you know who your personality is. You know how
Speaker 5: you act, how you talk, how you does you would
Speaker 5: like to say that's going to be the same, right
Speaker 5: every time you every day you show up to work.
Speaker 5: Sometimes though it doesn't right, I mean it just and
Speaker 5: so you have to be a little bit reactive to
Speaker 5: the people you're working with. But the number one thing
Speaker 5: I try to tell player or young referees is be
Speaker 5: confident in yourself. Be confident in who you are, and
Speaker 5: just you just have to be yourself out there. Because
Speaker 5: my way of controlling the match is how I control
Speaker 5: the match. I cannot control the match like John Freeman.
Speaker 2: Not you.
Speaker 5: John Freeman control the match. We're We're two different people.
Speaker 5: I can't control the match the way but a little
Speaker 5: bit I do like Philip does. I won't argue with that.
Speaker 2: However, I like the style.
Speaker 5: But Philip Dosh and I aren't have the same referee.
Speaker 5: We're not going to have the same approach. So you
Speaker 5: just have to be confident in who you are and
Speaker 5: you have to really dig into those interpersonal you know,
Speaker 5: interpersonal communicatkills. But hopefully you've developed to lean on those
Speaker 5: to help mitigate any problems. But it is hard John,
Speaker 5: because again sometimes we don't see that it's a little
Speaker 5: out of hand because you're like, what are you talking about.
Speaker 5: I think if I feel fine, but I'm good. Yeah,
Speaker 5: And unfortunately sometimes it's just isn't.
Speaker 2: And that's kind of what I was getting into.
Speaker 1: So what's the latest with soccer for USPOD and what
Speaker 1: else is going on in the soccer for USPOD verse.
Speaker 5: Well, our goal obviously, I'm traveling today, John, I'll be
Speaker 5: flying out of Raleigh nice airport by the way. I
Speaker 5: don't know if you've flown in here recently, very nice airport.
Speaker 5: I'll be flying home tonight. And so I think our
Speaker 5: goals can record either tomorrow or Wednesday. And well, yes,
Speaker 5: the European leagues have kind of started. We are looking
Speaker 5: at key players US M and T players and how
Speaker 5: their European season needs to be. You know, look, we
Speaker 5: had a World Cup at home coming up at the
Speaker 5: end of next year or the end of this upcoming season,
Speaker 5: you say, And our goal is to try to look
Speaker 5: at these players and say, Okay, what do they need
Speaker 5: to do to make the US M and T more
Speaker 5: competitive come next summer, which John might be tough.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we'll give it a shot. As always.
Speaker 1: Uh, hopefully you've enjoyed your time up there in the
Speaker 1: research triangle and just.
Speaker 5: A lot of research, John, I feel like much smarter.
Speaker 5: Somehow just being close to Duke and UNC have made
Speaker 5: me a supremely more cocky person. I don't know how
Speaker 5: that works out with these two programs.
Speaker 2: Just kind of rubs off on everybody.
Speaker 5: So no shade, no shade. But you know, I did
Speaker 5: go to school here, and I know how those two
Speaker 5: fan bases love to act.
Speaker 1: Yes, and I figured you would be adding Pit to
Speaker 1: your list of low down, dirty cheaters.
Speaker 2: But that's just great.
Speaker 5: Well they're just low down and dirty. They don't have
Speaker 5: to cheat, they're just they're despicable.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 5: They're in that Orlando category.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, it is a fault when it comes
Speaker 1: to Pitt. Just be safe getting home. My friend will
Speaker 1: catch up with you next time. And when you're back.
Speaker 5: All right, y'all, have a wonderful Monday.
Speaker 2: There you go.
Speaker 1: There goes Bart bart Keeler from the soccer for US
Speaker 1: PO D And it is listen like subscribe buy the
Speaker 1: man of coffee all the things, and he is our
Speaker 1: voice of national team stuff. He's our voice of everything
Speaker 1: going on when it comes to cards and calls and
Speaker 1: what folks might be looking at in certain situations and
Speaker 1: all of all of that. So that's the that's the
Speaker 1: larger point that we like to get across in all
Speaker 1: of these discussions that we have on a weekly basis
Speaker 1: of Okay, what are they seeing, what are they processing?
Speaker 2: What's the rule?
Speaker 1: And how is it being reinforced, implemented, projected all of
Speaker 1: those things. So that's why we we walk through calls
Speaker 1: that we sit there and we go, oh, hey, what
Speaker 1: about this? And then you get a quirk like we
Speaker 1: had with the law from twenty nineteen about proximity to
Speaker 1: walls with players and things, and so it's just stuff
Speaker 1: that we need to be reminded about on a weekly
Speaker 1: basis where okay, refs handle things in certain ways and manners,
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, so what was that ref seeing there?
Speaker 2: What was they what were they seeing there? All of that.
Speaker 1: So it's just to kind of look at it as
Speaker 1: almost like a defensive driving course when it comes to
Speaker 1: everything that we see involving the folks with the whistles
Speaker 1: and the cards on a weekly basis and so, well,
Speaker 1: what did they see here?
Speaker 2: What do we need to see here? That kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: So that's why we have enlisted Bart to kind of
Speaker 1: walk us through these things every single week and agree, disagree,
Speaker 1: what have you. That's kind of where we are with
Speaker 1: all of this. So let's say hid everybody. Let's say
Speaker 1: hid everybody and go through the rest of the promos
Speaker 1: and all the things that you need to know to
Speaker 1: help out, and we have our moment of cool also

Speaker 2: I think that's just the start.
Speaker 1: I know I'm missing somebody, but those are the great
Speaker 1: places that you can go and continue to add to
Speaker 1: your degenerative viewing habits. When it comes to soccer at Finates,
Speaker 1: at FNTZ dot co slash Soccer down here, well, South
Speaker 1: America going full board, you've got Sud Americana, You've got Libertadors.
Speaker 1: You can watch those as well. It's added packages that
Speaker 1: are part of it. They've added TVV recently, so you
Speaker 1: can get that attached to what's going on in Colombia,
Speaker 1: and a lot of stuff at Finates and so literally
Speaker 1: I camp out there on the weekends, you go from
Speaker 1: what happens in Europe, you work your way over here
Speaker 1: to the Americas, and so it just kind of comes
Speaker 1: full circle. But you help out the network, you help
Speaker 1: out finates, and you help out yourself as well with
Speaker 1: all the viewing that you have going on. Once again,
Speaker 1: FNTZ dot co slash Soccer down here and I'm trying
Speaker 1: to think, is there any place else that I have missed? Oh, yes,
Speaker 1: there is one place that I have missed, but I
Speaker 1: have missed it on purpose because we had a really
Speaker 1: cool moment on the weekend. And for those of you
Speaker 1: that might have followed along on our social media, here's
Speaker 1: my travel schedule. So we had this is where it
Speaker 1: all kind of blends together with American high school football
Speaker 1: and soccer right now. So it's like it between now
Speaker 1: and the end of October, early November, or whenever the
Speaker 1: championship is.
Speaker 2: It is a mix of both of those sports here
Speaker 2: in one place.
Speaker 1: So we had our first stream game of the year
Speaker 1: at GPB on Friday night. It was a downpour, so
Speaker 1: the game got pushed back because of all the thunder
Speaker 1: and lightning two hours and it was done in like
Speaker 1: two and a half so the game's over at midnight
Speaker 1: Lambert and Mill Creek. So I'm leaving Mill Creek, which
Speaker 1: is north of the Mall of Georgia up eighty five
Speaker 1: and I drive to a hotel that traditionally stay at
Speaker 1: in just south of Chattanooga because I was taking the
Speaker 1: first flight out of Chattanooga to go to Northwest Arkansas
Speaker 1: for the Outrigger Challenge Cup involving Turks and kikos Us
Speaker 1: Virgin Islands, Ozark United U nineteen's and our friends from
Speaker 1: the Marshall Island. So get to the hotel about two,
Speaker 1: fall asleep, about two thirty, alarm goes off at four.
Speaker 1: I did not lose my ring this time, David, it's
Speaker 1: upstairs in the holding bin when the show is over
Speaker 1: and I'm walking out the door. Did not lose my
Speaker 1: ring this time, and so ninety minute nap, head to
Speaker 1: the airport, check in before the sun's rising. Leave Chattanooga,
Speaker 1: fly down to Hartsfield, layover, turn around about an hour
Speaker 1: and a half, and then.
Speaker 2: Fly out to Northwest Arkansas.
Speaker 1: Was there Saturday for the second match for the Marshall
Speaker 1: Islands and you can read the ride up at Soccerdown
Speaker 1: here dot net.
Speaker 2: We've got postgame from the match.
Speaker 1: In and of itself, it was a back and forth
Speaker 1: three to two match with Turks and Caicos and the
Speaker 1: Marshall Islands folks really showed what they have been able
Speaker 1: to piece together in a very short period of time.
Speaker 1: Thursday night they lose to the US Virgin Islands four
Speaker 1: nil in Springdale, Arkansas. Saturday afternoon they come back, they're
Speaker 1: down to nil and you're thinking, Okay, is it going
Speaker 1: to be kind of the same thing. The answer is no.
Speaker 1: Here's the call of a piece of history from Springdale, Arkansas,
Speaker 1: from the weekend and thanks to our friends at spideo
Speaker 1: and our friends at RM I.
Speaker 9: Broken whip up here you will instead square it back
Speaker 9: for editor. A little bit of possession here for the
Speaker 9: marshal Lease feel a nice turn, pat feeling able to
Speaker 9: open up a little bit of space plant and laying
Speaker 9: it off along the left back of coast Josiah planted.
Speaker 4: Coldie of Marshalists.
Speaker 5: Magic, Hello less a golfer.
Speaker 9: The Marshall Islands, A go for all the Marshall Islands.
Speaker 4: And it's two one and a twenty seventh minute.
Speaker 1: So it gets the two to one at that point
Speaker 1: and then it was the speed of the Turks and
Speaker 1: Cakos as a club.
Speaker 2: Literally what they want to do.
Speaker 1: They want to press in their attacking half, they want
Speaker 1: to create short fields, they want to get around you,
Speaker 1: they want to shoot. Turks and Cakos did the same thing.
Speaker 1: Three goals in transition. They're up three to one. Then
Speaker 1: second half goal is scored three to two, and literally
Speaker 1: the last fifteen twenty minutes was Turks and Kkos hanging on.
Speaker 1: Marshall Islands lose three to two to the Turks and Caicos.
Speaker 1: Our friend John Arnold over at getting conca caffed and
Speaker 1: when he watched the match, he saw the Marshall Islands
Speaker 1: play in this their second match ever, and he said,
Speaker 1: look their teams in Group C in concor Cab Nations
Speaker 1: League they could hang with right now. And you had
Speaker 1: a really close match the second time around. And so
Speaker 1: now it's what you do with the momentum that you have.
Speaker 1: And so you can listen to the post match. We
Speaker 1: got post match from a lot of different folks. The
Speaker 1: three man brain trust behind the coaching and all the
Speaker 1: marketing and everything. It's Lloyd Oers, it is Matt Webb,
Speaker 1: it's justin Justin Wally. Then that you hear from them,
Speaker 1: you have to hear from one of the moms who
Speaker 1: had twins playing on the team, And it was a
Speaker 1: really cool experience to see history the way that it
Speaker 1: was this past weekend. So that is one of the
Speaker 1: things that is really cool about the sport and how
Speaker 1: it grows. And so now it is up to and
Speaker 1: they've even gotten their first ever ranking after two matches.
Speaker 2: They're like in the two thirties.
Speaker 1: So what they're ranked, and you had that moment for them, Now,
Speaker 1: how do you carry it forward? I guess now they
Speaker 1: continue talks with Oceana and find out what's going on. Hey,
Speaker 1: what's the how do we get certified? How what do
Speaker 1: we need to make sure that we get a check
Speaker 1: mark from you?
Speaker 2: Or shoot?
Speaker 1: Even Honka caff considering that, you know, as Greenland was
Speaker 1: trying to get into Conca Calf because nobody in Europe
Speaker 1: wants to pay attention to him. And I think Conca
Speaker 1: CAF is missing a great opportunity here by the way,
Speaker 1: that with the concentration of Marshally's population that is there
Speaker 1: in northwest Arkansas, eastern Oklahoma and in that section of
Speaker 1: the United States. Second largest concentration of Marsha Lee's person
Speaker 1: of population short of the island chain itself, is right there,
Speaker 1: so it makes sense to apply to a victim Montaliani
Speaker 1: and to Oceania as well.
Speaker 2: So Oceania, CONCA, CAF heads up.
Speaker 1: That's the next step and trying to figure that out
Speaker 1: and how to continue this momentum over the next year
Speaker 1: when it comes to what you're seeing from them, And
Speaker 1: they made that point to the players after the match
Speaker 1: as well. But got to Spring del Arkansas in time
Speaker 1: to see that, came back yesterday and got back to
Speaker 1: Kennesaw just in time to see the twos, and it
Speaker 1: was a matchup against Crown Legacy where it was massively
Speaker 1: important for the Twos to keep the beat so they
Speaker 1: could stay in the playoff hunt. Match was back and
Speaker 1: forth and it was chippy at points, and you had
Speaker 1: folks that were going in.
Speaker 2: There was a lot of hard tackles.
Speaker 1: Of course, it's Atlanta and Charlotte, it's the twos in
Speaker 1: Crown Legacy, not really a surprise.
Speaker 2: So you get to.
Speaker 1: The eighty third minute, here's what happened at the fraction
Speaker 1: last night. Here on the SDH network, Maddie and Jason
Speaker 1: on the.
Speaker 8: Call played long, tried to be settled by Berchiemus, but
Speaker 8: eventually taken away. Cooper Sanchez, good ball from Cooper to
Speaker 8: find We say, we say.
Speaker 2: Edge of the eighteen into the eighteen, cut back to.
Speaker 6: We are go go go, Lenda United two Cooper Sanchez, Gabriel.
Speaker 8: We say, Patrick Welea one nil.
Speaker 10: Patrick Wea doing the little dans after that one, and
Speaker 10: as he should.
Speaker 2: The build up to that is perfect.
Speaker 10: It's Majoub who's able to help help Sanchez get the opportunity.
Speaker 10: Sanchez sees that, Pat sees that. Gabriel, we says, making
Speaker 10: the run in. It's a beautiful ball from Sanchez, and
Speaker 10: then we say that connection between him and Patrick Guia,
Speaker 10: that's something that extends off of the field. It comes
Speaker 10: into full tuition here on the field, and it's a
Speaker 10: perfectly placed ball to Patrick Weia makes it one nill
Speaker 10: for Atlanta United.
Speaker 8: The ball from Cooper Sanchez was brilliant to jumpstart the attack.
Speaker 2: And you mentioned the connection with we say and Wea.
Speaker 8: We say got into the eighteen, got his head up
Speaker 8: and Wea had pulled off of the two center backs,
Speaker 8: and we say knew exactly where he was going cut
Speaker 8: back to him inside of the right foot. Patrick Wia
Speaker 8: gives it Landy United to the one nil lead in
Speaker 8: the seventy ninth minute.
Speaker 1: And they hang on from there once again, a big
Speaker 1: win for Atlanta United two to keep the beat in
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference. And just so you know where things
Speaker 1: stand in the East with the twos right now in
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference. The race to get in in
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference is what we're looking at when it
Speaker 1: comes to the tail end here the season, uh twos
Speaker 1: reveal be up here in just a little bit. Once
Speaker 1: we go off the air, we'll piece it together. You'll
Speaker 1: hear post from Toto Manju Patrick Willa, you'll hear the highlights,
Speaker 1: you'll get standings and all of that. So here's how
Speaker 1: it here's how it lays out right now in the
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference for MLS Next Pro next matchup for at
Speaker 1: Landy United two by the way in Osciola Heritage Park
Speaker 1: taking on OCB Saturday night. And so we'll have that
Speaker 1: one for you on the work as well. So here's
Speaker 1: the Eastern Conference, just so you know where things are
Speaker 1: in the East. Red Bulls two two points higher than
Speaker 1: Huntsville City Football Club. Huntsville City is coming here at
Speaker 1: the end of the month. They're here on the thirtieth,
Speaker 1: So Atlanta first team is in Nashville, same time, earlier
Speaker 1: start time. It'll be the start of the second half,
Speaker 1: I think when Atlanta United two is taking on Huntsville
Speaker 1: City when the first team starts in Nashville. So you've
Speaker 1: got that going on on the thirtieth. By the way,
Speaker 1: So Red Bulls two two points clear of Huntsville City
Speaker 1: Football Club. Hunt City's got a match in hand, Union
Speaker 1: two at forty two, fire To at forty one, revs
Speaker 1: To at thirty eight, same number of wins as Chattanooga.
Speaker 1: They have two matches in hand, meaning the revs and
Speaker 1: a far superior goal difference. They have a ten goal
Speaker 1: difference in the positive when it comes to goal difference.
Speaker 1: Toronto FC two's at thirty one one. NYCFC two is
Speaker 1: at twenty nine. They have two more wins in FC
Speaker 1: Cincinnati two. That's why NYCFC two is in the playoffs
Speaker 1: as the eight right now and FC Cincinnati two is
Speaker 1: out of the playoffs right now at twenty nine points.
Speaker 1: Orlando City Be's at twenty seven, two more wins than
Speaker 1: Carolina Core that's ten and eleven Crown Legacy. With the
Speaker 1: loss last night, they're at twenty six points twenty two
Speaker 1: matches at Lanta United two, two matches in hand with
Speaker 1: everyone who is above them short of SC Cincinnati. So
Speaker 1: if Atlanta United wins their two matches in hand, they
Speaker 1: would be at thirty one points, they would be in
Speaker 1: the playoffs at the eight spot because it would be
Speaker 1: two wins and they would be two wins behind Toronto,
Speaker 1: So two wins right now they would be in the
Speaker 1: playoffs as the eight seed. But right now at Lanta
Speaker 1: United two twenty five points, two matches in hand heading
Speaker 1: to Orlando this weekend. We'll catch up with Jose Silva
Speaker 1: later in the week and that'll be on the pregame
Speaker 1: show from Orlando. Messi and Friends two they are in
Speaker 1: fourteenth to twenty two points and Crew two they are
Speaker 1: at seventeen points through twenty one matches four thirteen to
Speaker 1: four and one and a goal difference this season of
Speaker 1: minus twenty. So that's where Atlanta United two is right now,
Speaker 1: and that's the race that they are getting into when
Speaker 1: it comes to the postseason for the first time ever
Speaker 1: in MLS in MLS next pro Okay, gossip, ruber and innuendo,
Speaker 1: What to watch, where to watch it, how to watch it?
Speaker 2: Obviously, what you've got.
Speaker 1: To get into today is the tail end of week
Speaker 1: number one in the Premier League. We'll get into that tomorrow.
Speaker 1: Casey White's gonna join us. She'll bat lead off. She's
Speaker 1: going to talk a little bit about Columbus and Toronto.
Speaker 1: She's gonna talk in WSL. She's gonna talk college because
Speaker 1: she and Jen held her at Florida State and Florida
Speaker 1: and the low down dirty cheaters at the University of
Speaker 1: South Georgia Gainesel Campus taking on my beloved and angelic
Speaker 1: Florida State University soccer team.
Speaker 2: So we'll get into that tomorrow with KCD, and we'll
Speaker 2: start our.
Speaker 1: Focus like our you know, graduate level class when it
Speaker 1: comes to multi club ownership. Just because of everything that
Speaker 1: we have experienced and seeing with one multi club owner,
Speaker 1: we kind of wanted to examine MCOs themselves and kind
Speaker 1: of go into our deep dive section. So it'll be
Speaker 1: like our graduate level class when it comes to multi
Speaker 1: club ownership. We'll start that tomorrow as well. If all
Speaker 1: of the the satellites and the timing works and all
Speaker 1: this kind of stuff to get that done. That'll be
Speaker 1: in our number two tomorrow. So our big MCO discussions
Speaker 1: start tomorrow if technology behaves going over the Atlantic Ocean.
Speaker 1: So that's that's kind of where we are with that.
Speaker 1: So that's tomorrow here on the network, starting at nine
Speaker 1: oh five Eastern. So what to watch, Where to watch it,
Speaker 1: how to watch it? Leagdu Lemont and Montpelier's at two
Speaker 1: forty five on BN being an Espanol is simulcasting. Leeds
Speaker 1: in Everton is at three, that is on USA ESPN
Speaker 1: deport This has LaLiga, LJA and rail. Betty's German Cup
Speaker 1: is on the Plus two at noon one at two
Speaker 1: forty five or ought vice Essen could they knock off
Speaker 1: Brusia Dortmund And then you end up with LaLiga at
Speaker 1: three o'clock CBS Sports Network in WSL Seattle in Chicago
Speaker 1: that is at ten o'clock and that is later tonight.
Speaker 1: And so once again Johnny and his Athletico Demadrid debut
Speaker 1: gets his flowers from Diego Simioni. Tom Russo has posted
Speaker 1: said goal, has posted the clip to the last goal
Speaker 1: that was scored in the Espanol Atletico Demadrid match.
Speaker 2: So that is your requested.
Speaker 1: Short viewing for today's checking out the highlights of that
Speaker 1: particular matchup. So you've got that going on, all right,
Speaker 1: So let's check the tour of everything going on, transfers
Speaker 1: and stuff. Remember transfers overseas and England go until the
Speaker 1: end of the month, go until the end of the month,
Speaker 1: and so you end up with keeping an eye on
Speaker 1: the window overseas. And there's some stuff that our friend
Speaker 1: Ben Jacobs came in with this morning to kind of
Speaker 1: keep an eye on things in your fantasy teams too,
Speaker 1: because you know, God knows, I started folks in fantasy
Speaker 1: this week that are probably not going to be with
Speaker 1: the teams that they sat.
Speaker 2: Joan Visa has unfollowed.
Speaker 1: Brentford changed his profile picture to black and removed all
Speaker 1: club photos from his Instagram account as he looks to
Speaker 1: leave the club.
Speaker 2: That'll get there, that'll make it happen.
Speaker 1: This has moved to Newcastle currently being blocked by Brentford.
Speaker 1: As revealed by Alex Crook, Unhappy, Brentford will now engage
Speaker 1: for over a sale over a sale unless a sixty
Speaker 1: million plus pound valuation is met, despite informing Visa a
Speaker 1: few weeks ago they would entertain a sale. Visa was
Speaker 1: also total a year ago he could leave for twenty
Speaker 1: six million after committing to last season following ivan Toni's
Speaker 1: departure to a lah Glee. Brentford insists Dongo Watara is
Speaker 1: a Boomo replacement and for a Visa exit to happen,
Speaker 1: another Ford must be added as well as their high
Speaker 1: valuation is met. Bill All el Kanus has told Lester
Speaker 1: City he wants to join Crystal Palace Leicester one around
Speaker 1: thirty million relegation release clause has expired. El Hanus is
Speaker 1: viewed as a replacement for eberci Esa for Crystal Palace
Speaker 1: and Newcastle set to resume talks once again. Visa now
Speaker 1: pushing for an exit. Keep an eye on that. Understand
Speaker 1: links with Chelsea and BOSTONI why to the mark That's
Speaker 1: been's favorite phrase for saying not quite happening yet. Christ
Speaker 1: Christiana is uce is an option for Wolves, nothing more
Speaker 1: at this stage. The attacking midfielder is appreciated. Wolves have
Speaker 1: other priority positions first focused on between now and the
Speaker 1: end of the window. Leads have opened talks with Noah
Speaker 1: okafor last week discussions continuing over the weekend, keen to
Speaker 1: add another attacker before the window shuts. Nothing agreed with
Speaker 1: Melon yet, talks expected to continue. Leads have made progress
Speaker 1: and there is optimism that a deal can be completed
Speaker 1: this week. Also on the board, more Unben Doak, who
Speaker 1: looks like he's going to be joining Born With for
Speaker 1: a twenty five million pound package. Liverpool have a buyback
Speaker 1: and as a rule, according to Jacobs, these tend to
Speaker 1: be agreed at least double the transfer fee. Buyback includes
Speaker 1: because Liverpool think Dok has elite potential and regular first
Speaker 1: team starts could see them return to him in the future.
Speaker 1: Born With beatoff competition from Porto. Everton also showed interest
Speaker 1: no offer. Liverpool would have had no issues selling dough
Speaker 1: to Everton at all. Jaden Sanchos decided not to accept
Speaker 1: Roma's offer as he continues to search for a new club.
Speaker 1: Twenty million pound bid made to Manchester United. Sancho is
Speaker 1: convinced other options will materialize before the windows shuts in
Speaker 1: thirty teen days. Nottingham Forrest has agreed to Arnold Klimawendo
Speaker 1: joining from Ren five years at twenty six million, and
Speaker 1: we do have the photo of a klum a window
Speaker 1: looking straight into the lens and the table, not looking
Speaker 1: at the paper, not signing the paper, not nothing going on,
Speaker 1: and literally I think the piece of paper is straight,
Speaker 1: so literally straight north and south klum a window.
Speaker 2: His picture is like this, So.
Speaker 1: He's trying to sign a piece of paper that depends
Speaker 1: not touching and probably needs to be tilted. So klum
Speaker 1: a window can sign it and keep an eye and
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. Jed Spent signed a new
Speaker 1: long term contract with Spurs an excellent forum following his
Speaker 1: return a loan spell with Jeno one twenty three to
Speaker 1: twenty four and we mentioned Visa this one we got
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on. West Ham Vice chair Karen
Speaker 1: Brady tells Talk Sports she expects Lucas Pocketat to stay
Speaker 1: at the club. I think he wants to stay. We
Speaker 1: definitely want him to say so. The thing is he'll
Speaker 1: be staying. She also gave confidence to Graham Potter out
Speaker 1: of the block after their results on the weekend. Potter
Speaker 1: has already gotten the dreaded vot of confidence at west
Speaker 1: Ham after only one match, Sunderland getting three on the board,
Speaker 1: west Ham getting none. Morning Dale Charleston came from behind,
Speaker 1: apparently to beat to the river Hounds at high Mark,
Speaker 1: and Bob Lily is still probably still yelling. We don't
Speaker 1: see if there's anything going on domestically. Remember that the
Speaker 1: domestic window ends Thursday, So if anybody's going to be
Speaker 1: making anybody's going to be making moves, you got to
Speaker 1: do it between now and Thursday. Lexington SC finalizing a
Speaker 1: deal to sign longtime MLS midfielder Latif Blessing.
Speaker 2: How's that?
Speaker 1: Blessing twenty eight as two hundred and fourteen regular season
Speaker 1: appearances in Major League Soccer, spent last year with Houston
Speaker 1: and Toronto. Minnesota United nearing a deal to sign Austrian
Speaker 1: attacking midfielder Dominic Fits from Austria Vienna. Houte was first
Speaker 1: with that thirteen and sixteen in just under three thousand
Speaker 1: minutes last year, four plus five and six hundred minutes
Speaker 1: this year. Don't know about the roster designation if he
Speaker 1: goes to the Loons. Could be a TAM could be
Speaker 1: a dp US Yan team. Midfielder Adrian Gill signed a
Speaker 1: one year deal with Barsa b Munda di Bortiva first
Speaker 1: to report that nineteen he's been with Bars's famed Academy
Speaker 1: since twenty eighteen. Then Turgerman and Maccabi tel Aviv. Maccabi
Speaker 1: tel Aviv not done, but close five and a half
Speaker 1: million bids submitted, not officially accepted all parties. Hopeful Player
Speaker 1: gave the green light and personal terms, and so that's
Speaker 1: where we are with the updates on the things. So tomorrow,
Speaker 1: once again, remember we are going to be going over
Speaker 1: everything in WSL College Columbus in Toronto with KCD. Casey
Speaker 1: White's going to join us early and we'll start our
Speaker 1: breakdown of everything and we'll learn together, as Jared says,
Speaker 1: what's learned together. So we're going to learn together tomorrow
Speaker 1: if technology happens, and we'll have an interview on tape
Speaker 1: and we'll start our coverage of MCOs and all the
Speaker 1: news that's associated with all of that. Considering how it
Speaker 1: land United has been directly affected by someone who operates
Speaker 1: or operated an NC, I think he still does.
Speaker 2: I think it's two or three clubs.
Speaker 1: But with Landy United's involvement in MCOs, we thought it
Speaker 1: might be important just to kind of take a deep
Speaker 1: dive and understand the inner goings, the machinations, all of
Speaker 1: the weaving, all the things to make sure that we
Speaker 1: all know what is coming when it comes to American
Speaker 1: clubs interacting with multi club ownerships around the world. So
Speaker 1: we start that tomorrow, of technology permitting, and that'll be
Speaker 1: an hour number two. Thanks to Bardez always, Thanks to
Speaker 1: Abe as always, Thanks to y'all as always for being
Speaker 1: a part of everything, and did not lose my ring.
Speaker 1: But apparently I am the clumsiest person on the planet
Speaker 1: because I don't know how to operate a disposable razor
Speaker 1: like everybody else does. So that's another round for another
Speaker 1: reaction Monday. As always, thanks for beginning a part of
Speaker 1: this as you always are, played safe everybody, moch of platyall.
Speaker 1: Since it is the end of the show that means
Speaker 1: we get to do this back at it again nine
Speaker 1: to five tomorrow morning.
