It is. 4 00:00:37.280 --> 00:00:39.960 We got a little bit of a care package for 5 00:00:40.000 --> 00:00:42.039 opening kickoff. We'll get into that coming up in a sect. 6 00:00:42.039 --> 00:00:43.799 Tyler Pilgrim is going to join us from Scarves and 7 00:00:43.840 --> 00:00:46.799 Spikes and that'll be our number one. Our number two's 8 00:00:46.840 --> 00:00:48.960 whatever you guys want to talk about, whatever's on the table. 9 00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:53.079 This is a Wall Pass Wednesday. So we've got transfer stuff. 10 00:00:53.320 --> 00:00:56.359 We've got that to catch up on. We've got reports, 11 00:00:57.359 --> 00:00:59.679 especially from our friends out in Colorado they might be 12 00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:04.120 at We've got all the transfer ideas and reports and 13 00:01:04.200 --> 00:01:09.760 possibilities and stadium news and front office news and all 14 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:13.359 the things coming up in our number two to get 15 00:01:13.439 --> 00:01:16.519 us ready for the day. And once again, remember tomorrow 16 00:01:16.599 --> 00:01:21.120 it is Power Hour a Nino and Nico. Tomorrow with Nino, 17 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:25.640 we're probably going to have to discuss an interview that 18 00:01:25.879 --> 00:01:30.000 happened on seeing in Portugal and the race for the 19 00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:37.640 presidency of Benfica and Luis Philippe Vieira did a bombshell 20 00:01:37.680 --> 00:01:42.000 interview on seeing in Portugal and I'm chasing after all 21 00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:46.760 the information. But there was a lot of discussion having 22 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.480 to do with this gentleman who was the president in 23 00:01:49.560 --> 00:01:54.200 Fica for almost two decades and the massive amount of 24 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:58.560 player acquisitions and loans and flips for lack. 25 00:01:58.439 --> 00:01:59.159 Of a better term. 26 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:02.640 And it was a big interview that was done seen 27 00:02:02.719 --> 00:02:05.840 in Portugal, and so he admitted to admitted to some 28 00:02:05.959 --> 00:02:09.560 things and didn't answer some questions there as well. But 29 00:02:09.639 --> 00:02:11.439 that's kind of a tease for tomorrow and we'll let 30 00:02:11.520 --> 00:02:14.479 you know what the what the rundown is there. I 31 00:02:14.479 --> 00:02:16.240 imagine that that's going to be one of the topics 32 00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:21.039 for Nino and his segment when we go fully loaded tomorrow, 33 00:02:21.280 --> 00:02:24.639 and then obviously Nikom Modeano joining us in our number 34 00:02:24.680 --> 00:02:28.199 two in the final half hour morning Sharif, and we'll 35 00:02:28.199 --> 00:02:32.479 discuss everything going on in Major League Soccer and from 36 00:02:32.520 --> 00:02:35.439 the Pacific perspective. Gets you ready. League's Cup is tonight, 37 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.280 so we'll get into previews of that. We'll get into 38 00:02:37.319 --> 00:02:42.599 juice boxes if you missed Roberta Doris and Suit Americana. 39 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:46.439 We got that to get into from last night, and 40 00:02:46.479 --> 00:02:50.879 that is our plug for Finates FNTZ dot slash socker 41 00:02:50.919 --> 00:02:51.520 down here so. 42 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:52.319 We'll get into that. 43 00:02:53.159 --> 00:02:57.639 It was Bonker's bat ish in all the above, and 44 00:02:57.719 --> 00:03:00.840 so we'll get into that. We'll get into those discussions 45 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.599 to an Hour number two. But yeah, Lbertadors and Sudamericana 46 00:03:03.719 --> 00:03:07.400 had all of us changing channels last night trying to 47 00:03:07.439 --> 00:03:10.120 go from one match to the other, especially with chaos 48 00:03:10.159 --> 00:03:13.319 going on at the end and on I think it 49 00:03:13.400 --> 00:03:17.319 was on Jason's two hundred and eighty character app there's 50 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:21.879 a late ball that created an incredible header, an incredible moment. 51 00:03:21.879 --> 00:03:23.719 I think it was on the Rossing Match. And so 52 00:03:23.759 --> 00:03:25.800 we'll get into that and once again an Hour number two. Okay, 53 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.919 Tyler's coming up in just a little bit, So now 54 00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:29.960 it's time for opening Kickoff. Then we got everything else 55 00:03:30.000 --> 00:03:33.199 going on as well.

And so when teams send stuff to 74 00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:37.920 any of our studio spaces, obviously we flash it and 75 00:04:37.959 --> 00:04:39.399 we sit there and we you know, we add it 76 00:04:39.439 --> 00:04:42.160 to the stacks. You know, our friends from from Sporting Jacks, 77 00:04:42.160 --> 00:04:45.720 they've been really good when new stuff comes out. And 78 00:04:45.720 --> 00:04:47.920 then you know, when we have all the clubs and 79 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:50.639 things and all the competitions that we add to the stacks. 80 00:04:51.759 --> 00:04:56.120 Our friends from El Fadolito, they they reached out to 81 00:04:56.240 --> 00:04:58.519 us and it was part of the you know the 82 00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:02.439 conversations of covering the the NPSL season and having coach 83 00:05:02.519 --> 00:05:06.639 head coach Santiago Lopez on the show. So what we 84 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:11.240 wanted to do was try and find ways to show 85 00:05:11.319 --> 00:05:15.600 support for El Fadalito, and I would recommend taking you know, 86 00:05:15.680 --> 00:05:17.199 taking a couple of minutes, but then you'll go down 87 00:05:17.199 --> 00:05:18.399 a rabbit hole and we'll be more in a couple 88 00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:22.639 of minutes learning their story out in the San Francisco 89 00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:28.920 area and about their continued success in the NPSL. 90 00:05:28.360 --> 00:05:30.160 Year over year over year as they continued. 91 00:05:30.199 --> 00:05:34.199 They were in the championship game and lost to Hickory 92 00:05:34.279 --> 00:05:36.879 FC this past time out, and it was a game 93 00:05:36.879 --> 00:05:39.240 that was played at Keysar Stadium in San Francisco, and 94 00:05:39.279 --> 00:05:40.920 it was great to catch up with coach Lopez. So, 95 00:05:40.959 --> 00:05:44.319 Coach Lopez, you know when we were talking offline, there 96 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:46.480 were some things that you know, it's like, hey, we 97 00:05:46.519 --> 00:05:48.959 wanted to show your support for El Fadalito and things 98 00:05:49.000 --> 00:05:51.120 like that. And so today are you not today? If 99 00:05:51.120 --> 00:05:54.480 it was today, that would be really interesting. Yesterday care 100 00:05:54.480 --> 00:05:56.360 package showed up. Of course, it was left out in 101 00:05:56.360 --> 00:06:00.839 the rain, and here is the care package that was 102 00:06:00.879 --> 00:06:04.959 sent to us by our friends at El Fadlito and 103 00:06:05.160 --> 00:06:08.319 we cannot thank them enough for this and it is 104 00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:14.079 first and foremost the the uh, the road white, the 105 00:06:14.160 --> 00:06:17.279 road white with the where's the the NPSL sticker, there's 106 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:19.600 the there's the NPSSEL sticker. So right there there's you 107 00:06:19.680 --> 00:06:22.920 and it's and it's not the it's not like a 108 00:06:22.959 --> 00:06:26.040 flat sticker either. It's like the raised lettering and everything. 109 00:06:26.120 --> 00:06:30.560 And so we have the the road white that got. 110 00:06:30.439 --> 00:06:31.040 Sent to us. 111 00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.399 And because you know, in the interest of fair play, 112 00:06:35.439 --> 00:06:37.839 when you're doing the the road you have to send 113 00:06:37.959 --> 00:06:41.560 the home jersey. And and of course I'm making the 114 00:06:41.560 --> 00:06:44.439 the jump and logic that you know, since it's since 115 00:06:44.480 --> 00:06:47.600 these days a lot of folks have flipped their home. 116 00:06:47.720 --> 00:06:50.680 Instead of going home white, they go home dark. And 117 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:54.439 so here is the the home Navy jersey once again 118 00:06:54.480 --> 00:06:58.439 with the raised NPSL sticker here and so that is 119 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:00.839 that is there from our friends at El fad Alito. 120 00:07:00.879 --> 00:07:01.720 But we're not done. 121 00:07:02.199 --> 00:07:05.160 There was a conversation that we were having when you know, 122 00:07:05.199 --> 00:07:07.360 before we started the interview, and he was wondering, you 123 00:07:07.439 --> 00:07:13.160 know how in matches where you have the captains, you know, 124 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:15.360 at the beginning of a match, the captain comes by, 125 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:18.160 you know, the captains they'll have you know, handshakes and 126 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.560 things like that, and in some matches you'll have the 127 00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:24.560 banner exchange. Other times you'll just have handshakes and other 128 00:07:24.600 --> 00:07:27.639 things going on. Coach lopezels like, you know, I wish 129 00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:30.199 that there were more matches that had the banner exchange 130 00:07:30.199 --> 00:07:32.160 because of his history and his upbringing. 131 00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:34.160 So and I have to go back here to get this. 132 00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:39.399 So what he did as a part of the the care. 133 00:07:39.279 --> 00:07:41.240 Package, and I had to cut and you know, there's 134 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.199 only a limited amount of space that you have in 135 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:48.040 those envelopes. So what he did is he brought as 136 00:07:48.040 --> 00:07:50.319 a part of the care package one of the El 137 00:07:50.360 --> 00:07:55.399 Faight Alito banners. And so it's dual sided, so it 138 00:07:55.560 --> 00:07:57.079 you know, either way you hang it. If you hang 139 00:07:57.120 --> 00:07:59.319 it from a central point, then you get to see 140 00:07:59.319 --> 00:08:02.360 both sides. But as an elf Faight Alito banner that 141 00:08:02.639 --> 00:08:04.959 you're supposed to hand out during the pregame handshakes with 142 00:08:05.000 --> 00:08:08.079 the captains and everything. And so there is the the 143 00:08:08.079 --> 00:08:10.199 El Faight Alito banner, and that's going to be here 144 00:08:11.439 --> 00:08:14.240 for the moment until I can figure out how to 145 00:08:14.519 --> 00:08:20.160 suspend things. I thought about. I legitimately thought about hanging 146 00:08:20.160 --> 00:08:24.800 it from the underside of the bell back here, but 147 00:08:24.839 --> 00:08:26.360 then you're kind of getting in there, and there's the 148 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:29.199 idea of maybe you know, bashing your head or something 149 00:08:29.360 --> 00:08:31.959 and with the with the banner as you're walking by. 150 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:34.679 So I'm probably going to try and find something. Maybe 151 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:36.799 you'll suspend a nail or somewhere in here and kind 152 00:08:36.799 --> 00:08:39.039 of just hang it from the top. But I have 153 00:08:39.159 --> 00:08:41.960 yet to figure out an equitable solution that. 154 00:08:41.919 --> 00:08:44.000 Would make me happy for the moment. 155 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.320 But in the interim, the El fight Alito banner is 156 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:51.840 here and it is representing a perpetual power in the 157 00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.279 NPSL and we cannot thank them enough for the care 158 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:59.000 package that they sent this yesterday to add to the 159 00:08:59.039 --> 00:09:03.840 stacks here in in Office HD. And uh so El 160 00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:08.639 Fadalito class acts all the way around and the the 161 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.000 banner and the jerseys made it and so they will 162 00:09:11.000 --> 00:09:14.320 be they will be housed and appreciated here in Office HD, 163 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:18.399 as as all of the other elements are that are 164 00:09:18.960 --> 00:09:21.240 sent to us that we will either wear on the 165 00:09:21.279 --> 00:09:24.399 air or you know, wear out in public or you know, 166 00:09:24.440 --> 00:09:26.559 put in frames and things like that if we think 167 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:30.519 that it's it's too uh too valuable to actually wear. 168 00:09:31.840 --> 00:09:34.159 But no El fad Alto class acts across the board. 169 00:09:34.720 --> 00:09:39.000 So the homework assignment today, when you have, when you have, 170 00:09:39.720 --> 00:09:42.320 when you have a few minutes, is just look up 171 00:09:42.320 --> 00:09:46.320 El Faalito on your your favorite search engine on the 172 00:09:46.360 --> 00:09:49.279 Google machine and learn a little bit about their story. 173 00:09:49.799 --> 00:09:53.519 It's more than just about the chain of Mexican restaurants 174 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:56.799 in the San Francisco area, says in the NPSL. So 175 00:09:56.840 --> 00:09:59.919 that that's your homework assignment for today. Do your search 176 00:10:00.759 --> 00:10:03.480 and learn about El Faddalito and our friends out there 177 00:10:03.600 --> 00:10:06.399 as they have now officially added to the stacks here 178 00:10:06.919 --> 00:10:09.799 in off his HD. So very very cool stuff once 179 00:10:09.799 --> 00:10:13.120 again from our friends Santia head coach Santiago Lopez and 180 00:10:13.159 --> 00:10:15.600 our friends out at El Fadalito as they are adding 181 00:10:15.600 --> 00:10:19.960 to the stacks. And so Abby is recommending a screw 182 00:10:20.039 --> 00:10:23.759 in hook from the ceiling so it can be next 183 00:10:23.759 --> 00:10:27.159 to the bell. Okay, so we have that as an idea. Okay, 184 00:10:27.720 --> 00:10:31.200 we'll bring in Tyler and we'll talk about internal decorating. 185 00:10:31.360 --> 00:10:32.279 Interior decorating. 186 00:10:32.440 --> 00:10:37.200 It's interior decorating, not internal decorating, but internal decorating. People 187 00:10:37.240 --> 00:10:40.759 are thinking that you're having some kind of periatric surgery 188 00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:41.200 or something. 189 00:10:41.399 --> 00:10:43.440 Yeah, that's two different things. 190 00:10:43.679 --> 00:10:51.399 Yeah, okay, So when it comes to assembling your studio space, yes, uh, 191 00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.919 like I said, our friends from El Faderlito sent us 192 00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:58.039 a banner, and so we have to figure out where 193 00:10:58.039 --> 00:10:59.879 to hang it. And so Abby is thinking, you know, 194 00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:02.279 get a screw inhook or something from up here so 195 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:04.360 it can be along the bell or somewhere in there. 196 00:11:04.919 --> 00:11:10.240 When you're a when you've assembled your studio space, how 197 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:13.519 much how much thought has gone into this? How much 198 00:11:14.480 --> 00:11:17.000 how much serious thought are you thinking and all these 199 00:11:17.080 --> 00:11:19.279 kinds of things when it comes to piecing that together, 200 00:11:19.799 --> 00:11:22.519 and how many iterations have you had with that studio 201 00:11:22.559 --> 00:11:24.519 space trying to figure out how to make it, how 202 00:11:24.519 --> 00:11:25.519 to make it its own I. 203 00:11:25.440 --> 00:11:29.879 Guess quite a bit, probably way more than I should. 204 00:11:29.919 --> 00:11:32.000 And actually, like right now I've got to cycle through 205 00:11:32.039 --> 00:11:36.679 some some scarves. I have my ones from Portugal that 206 00:11:36.879 --> 00:11:39.919 they're not shown right now all here, but and then 207 00:11:39.960 --> 00:11:41.879 I got a Chattanoogle one the other day when I 208 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:45.759 was up there, and so then that's just the scarves, 209 00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:47.360 and then like there's other stuff in here that you 210 00:11:47.360 --> 00:11:50.399 can't really see that I've put a lot of thought 211 00:11:50.399 --> 00:11:52.759 into as well. Of course, my hats are over there 212 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:54.799 and that's just in here. Like in the old house, 213 00:11:54.799 --> 00:11:57.600 in the old studio, it was a bigger space, so 214 00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:02.519 that required much more effort and thought. So yeah, it's 215 00:12:02.559 --> 00:12:05.519 it's a little bit of an obsession, I think so. 216 00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:07.840 So it has evolved into an obsession trying to figure 217 00:12:07.840 --> 00:12:09.399 out how to rotate things now. 218 00:12:09.559 --> 00:12:11.799 Well a little bit, Yeah, a little bit. 219 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:15.759 Because well because I mean we when we get all 220 00:12:15.759 --> 00:12:18.360 of these things from all these different places that we cover, 221 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:20.559 you know, you want to be fair about it. Yeah, 222 00:12:20.639 --> 00:12:22.720 and you want to you want to sit there and 223 00:12:22.759 --> 00:12:25.759 give an homage to every place that you've been, but 224 00:12:25.799 --> 00:12:27.639 you don't want to slide them if it was a 225 00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:29.960 long time ago, and you've got new stuff that you 226 00:12:30.000 --> 00:12:31.679 want to put over the top, and you want don't 227 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:33.399 want to sit there and make it look like that 228 00:12:33.440 --> 00:12:37.639 you're that you're ignoring the old stuff with the new stuff. Yeah. 229 00:12:37.679 --> 00:12:41.879 And like for example, I'm in this this room now, 230 00:12:43.440 --> 00:12:45.840 which works out perfectly for what it is like as 231 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:48.000 an actual studio. My other one was like in office 232 00:12:48.080 --> 00:12:51.360 and room and everything together. Right, this one pretty much 233 00:12:51.360 --> 00:12:53.279 has one sole purpose and that is to be the studio. 234 00:12:53.600 --> 00:12:55.440 The problem is I can't fit everything that I want 235 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:59.480 to fit and like to your point, I have I 236 00:12:59.480 --> 00:13:03.240 have the Munich scarves, both both Munich teams are in here. 237 00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.120 I have to kind of swap, I'll tell you that 238 00:13:06.200 --> 00:13:06.559 right now. 239 00:13:06.799 --> 00:13:10.399 I know, right, but I've gotta I've got to fit 240 00:13:10.440 --> 00:13:14.720 in the the Benfica ones and then of course Chattanooga 241 00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:16.279 and I was just gonna cycle through it. I also 242 00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:18.399 have some Atlanta Ninim ones, like the Marta scarf that's 243 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:22.320 that's sitting here, and then in my garage. I'm setting 244 00:13:22.440 --> 00:13:26.360 up the garage with a TV as well, and I 245 00:13:26.399 --> 00:13:28.279 have so like in my old studio, I had the 246 00:13:28.279 --> 00:13:33.919 big flag that the stripes when you look at it closely, 247 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:37.240 it has all the cities in Georgia and it's like 248 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:41.200 my favorite flag. I love this one and the and 249 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:42.600 so I have that at landing and out of one, 250 00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:45.759 and then I have two other ones. And obviously I 251 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:47.440 can't fit them in here because I would be covered 252 00:13:47.440 --> 00:13:50.240 in flags. But I'm like, I have to show them 253 00:13:50.279 --> 00:13:53.039 respect somewhere, even if they're never on camera, they have 254 00:13:53.200 --> 00:13:55.960 to be displayed. So yeah, it's a it's a bit 255 00:13:56.000 --> 00:13:56.559 of a struggle. 256 00:13:57.080 --> 00:13:59.000 And so of course Dell is in this morning. He 257 00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:01.559 goes Tyler does John I know that you're in his closet. 258 00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:02.919 No, he never knows. 259 00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.519 I sneak in right before while he's busy doing the 260 00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:08.759 morning like the opening intro. Yes, then I sneak out 261 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:10.279 when he's busy bringing on the next game. 262 00:14:10.600 --> 00:14:13.799 Yes. Absolutely, he's got his own little he's got his 263 00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.600 own little underground tunnel that he kind of there and 264 00:14:16.679 --> 00:14:18.480 goes in and out of. And that's all those kinds 265 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:23.240 of things. But yeah, so it literally is for those 266 00:14:23.279 --> 00:14:26.399 that may not know, this is the train track that 267 00:14:26.480 --> 00:14:28.480 got put in. Is about two hundred and seventy five 268 00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:30.159 hats and it's on three of the four walls here 269 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:33.600 at the office. And the scarves, oh my god, I 270 00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:36.519 have no idea how many. But you have to reinforce 271 00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:42.240 the rods, the curtain rods. You use more winter scarves, 272 00:14:42.279 --> 00:14:45.320 and we found that out the hard way, and then 273 00:14:45.480 --> 00:14:47.200 you're trying to figure it all out. 274 00:14:47.279 --> 00:14:48.840 So because I mean, if you look at this, it 275 00:14:48.960 --> 00:14:51.799 is let me see here real quick. 276 00:14:51.840 --> 00:14:57.200 So it's Copa and Rhode Island and Bucky's and Club 277 00:14:57.200 --> 00:14:59.840 World Cup, and in there is also the inaugural seasons 278 00:15:00.159 --> 00:15:02.360 for South Georgia Tormento, so that's in there.

Oh, 357 00:18:52.839 --> 00:18:55.519 you can have that. You can have it. I don't care. 358 00:18:55.519 --> 00:18:57.480 I don't even like him that much. I like him, 359 00:18:57.759 --> 00:18:59.440 but I'm kind of sick and tired of hearing about him. 360 00:19:00.400 --> 00:19:01.759 Not one hundred and ninety five dollars. 361 00:19:02.039 --> 00:19:04.599 No, so that is not happening. 362 00:19:04.759 --> 00:19:08.079 Nope, I'm a picture of it. It was his first. 363 00:19:07.839 --> 00:19:12.119 Game, okay, Mozeltov one hundred and ninety five dollars not happening, Nope, No, 364 00:19:12.200 --> 00:19:13.759 give me some give me something that's a bargain. 365 00:19:13.799 --> 00:19:16.039 I can put in in a frame or something like that. 366 00:19:16.119 --> 00:19:20.240 Yeah, so since you since you mentioned Messi and Friends, 367 00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:23.319 they're back to being healthy and Rodrigue de Paul has 368 00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:26.559 stepped in and now it looks like they're bringing in 369 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:27.960 another defender. 370 00:19:28.000 --> 00:19:30.440 They're trying to get the POV deal done from krusos Sewel. 371 00:19:30.519 --> 00:19:32.519 Looks like it's seven million, but I think they're But 372 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.359 and this is something I think that gets lost on 373 00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:39.640 folks is that that figure can be spread out over 374 00:19:39.680 --> 00:19:43.720 the life of a deal. So your yearly hit isn't 375 00:19:43.759 --> 00:19:45.839 as bad. People sit there and go seven million, but 376 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:49.240 if it's a five year deal, then you're only hit 377 00:19:49.279 --> 00:19:53.240 at one point four against your your figures all season long. 378 00:19:53.519 --> 00:19:57.400 So POV they goodness gracious, you know they need help 379 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.640 at the back. Don't tell them that because you know 380 00:20:00.720 --> 00:20:03.880 then they might go chasing after folks. But uh, the 381 00:20:03.880 --> 00:20:06.880 the uh how do we the sieve that can be 382 00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.759 the back line for Messi and Friends. It looks like 383 00:20:08.759 --> 00:20:11.359 they're getting close to POV now to to try and 384 00:20:11.359 --> 00:20:14.079 help things out. You're you're sending you're sending folks to 385 00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:16.759 Spain and now you're bringing more folks in. So they're 386 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:20.359 trying to with the three matches in hand that they 387 00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:22.920 have right now. If they win those, obviously they would 388 00:20:22.920 --> 00:20:24.480 be the top seed in the East. How did that 389 00:20:24.759 --> 00:20:27.160 work out for you the last time that happened? Uh, 390 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:31.000 he said, tongue firmly planted in cheek. So is there's 391 00:20:31.000 --> 00:20:34.000 still we still have until Thursday to figure things out 392 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:36.519 when it comes to Major League Soccer, and we do 393 00:20:36.599 --> 00:20:39.200 have a couple of other names to look into. But yeah, uh, 394 00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:44.400 Messi and friends not messing around, No, I mean I was. 395 00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:47.160 I was actually interested that Messi came back as quickly 396 00:20:47.160 --> 00:20:49.359 as he did, and of course he steps up back 397 00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:52.680 into it. I think the most interesting story to me 398 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:56.119 out of this whole week of the soap opera that 399 00:20:56.240 --> 00:21:02.119 is inter Miami, Yes, was benin Muskie and his comments 400 00:21:02.240 --> 00:21:04.319 and things. And I guess it's been going on for 401 00:21:04.319 --> 00:21:06.839 a little longer than a week now, But you know, 402 00:21:07.279 --> 00:21:11.160 I don't know. It just feels like you're down there 403 00:21:11.200 --> 00:21:13.680 playing alongside literally some of the best in the world. 404 00:21:13.920 --> 00:21:16.079 And I'm not saying like, don't be bothered that you're 405 00:21:16.119 --> 00:21:18.079 maybe not playing the position you want to play, but hey, 406 00:21:18.480 --> 00:21:22.319 if you're going to learn anything from any group of 407 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:25.480 soccer players in the world. Uh huh, that's probably the 408 00:21:25.480 --> 00:21:28.599 place you want to be. Maybe just go learn something new. 409 00:21:28.799 --> 00:21:32.119 I don't know, it might be a novel concept. But anyway, 410 00:21:32.119 --> 00:21:35.680 that was interesting. And then of course we had to 411 00:21:35.759 --> 00:21:40.279 discuss for a minute on the Monday Show about Messi's 412 00:21:40.440 --> 00:21:43.359 rapid exodus from the field the other night, which was 413 00:21:44.119 --> 00:21:45.920 I think, I don't know, I think a big nothing burger, 414 00:21:45.960 --> 00:21:46.799 but yeah. 415 00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:52.359 Kind of odd. I mean, look with Kromowsky, I look 416 00:21:52.400 --> 00:21:57.240 at it this way for me. Well, and we'll get 417 00:21:57.279 --> 00:21:58.960 to Dell's question here in a sect because it kind 418 00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:03.599 of wraps into all this stuff. Kramowski is a youngin 419 00:22:04.240 --> 00:22:09.000 and I appreciate the idea that he wants to play, 420 00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:13.839 and that has to be balanced into the idea of 421 00:22:13.960 --> 00:22:17.240 what does Javier Mascherano see in Ben Humming Kramowski. On 422 00:22:17.759 --> 00:22:20.519 Monday through Friday or Sunday through whenever, maybe they get 423 00:22:20.559 --> 00:22:23.240 Sundays off if they don't, you know, if they play 424 00:22:23.240 --> 00:22:25.119 on Saturday, maybe they get Sunday off, sleep in a 425 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:26.920 little bit and come in and condition or whatever. But 426 00:22:27.359 --> 00:22:30.839 the Monday through Friday, Ben Huming Kramowski plays into the 427 00:22:30.880 --> 00:22:33.160 notion for Javier Mascherano as to how he wants to 428 00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:36.359 be used how much and where during any given week. 429 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:41.480 And you know, if the the vision is that, you 430 00:22:41.519 --> 00:22:43.079 know that he's still got some he's still got some 431 00:22:43.079 --> 00:22:46.039 stuff to work on, and you know, he's not in 432 00:22:46.119 --> 00:22:49.680 my idea of a starting lineup for a team that 433 00:22:50.079 --> 00:22:55.640 their number one goal is to win fancy, shiny things 434 00:22:56.160 --> 00:22:59.400 when as many of them as humanly possible, and be 435 00:22:59.519 --> 00:23:02.680 out there on the world stage as much as humanly possible. 436 00:23:03.720 --> 00:23:07.079 I get the idea, you know, And look, we all 437 00:23:07.160 --> 00:23:11.079 have our own elements and levels of self confidence. Obviously, 438 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:14.079 Ben Huming Kromowski's level of self confidence is very, very high, 439 00:23:14.400 --> 00:23:18.160 and you'll like to see that. But you're going up 440 00:23:18.200 --> 00:23:21.039 against folks that have a mission in hand, and it's 441 00:23:21.079 --> 00:23:23.519 up to you to also to learn and evolve and 442 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:27.200 advance your game as well. And they're also not gonna 443 00:23:27.240 --> 00:23:30.960 rush you. So just you know, it's like, just you know, 444 00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:35.559 everything's cool. Just just keep learning and you'll be fine, 445 00:23:35.799 --> 00:23:38.880 and you'll win shiny things. And guess what your value will. 446 00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:43.680 Increase immensely, immensely strange how that might be, Yeah, and 447 00:23:44.319 --> 00:23:47.680 I guess, And then it kind of touches on what 448 00:23:47.720 --> 00:23:50.160 like Delle was just saying, I think, you know Hibyer 449 00:23:50.200 --> 00:23:53.240 marshal Oo's response, and I will covey out by saying this, 450 00:23:53.279 --> 00:23:54.759 and I've said it all season. I don't think Hobber 451 00:23:54.839 --> 00:23:56.559 Marshaono is a good coach. I'm just gonna throw that 452 00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:59.400 out there. Maybe those are fighting words for some people, probably, 453 00:24:00.079 --> 00:24:02.559 but I just don't think he's proven it at this point. 454 00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:07.160 I think he's been handed literally the golden goose of 455 00:24:07.599 --> 00:24:10.000 a roster, like it's really hard to screw this up. 456 00:24:11.079 --> 00:24:15.000 But his response about how you know, when he went 457 00:24:16.279 --> 00:24:19.519 to play alongside some of these guys, he was moved 458 00:24:19.519 --> 00:24:22.000 out of what he considered his best and favorite position, 459 00:24:22.640 --> 00:24:24.880 and he kind of just went with it because he 460 00:24:24.920 --> 00:24:26.400 knew that that would be the only way to get 461 00:24:26.440 --> 00:24:29.640 playing time. And I think this is maybe one of 462 00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.079 those situations like it might not be where young Ben 463 00:24:33.119 --> 00:24:37.599 would like to play, but young Ben might just need 464 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:40.160 to go into it and say, like, hey, look, I'm 465 00:24:40.160 --> 00:24:42.519 still young enough to learn any of these positions. Honestly, 466 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:44.799 it's not like you're you're thirty two years old, like 467 00:24:44.799 --> 00:24:46.200 you're kind of coming up on the end of your 468 00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:50.119 career here at the beginning, dude, just go and and learn. 469 00:24:50.200 --> 00:24:53.480 And I think by that, you'll get the more playing time. 470 00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:56.599 And if if whatever whatever is in his future that 471 00:24:56.640 --> 00:24:59.720 he visualizes, whether it is like a trad like a 472 00:24:59.799 --> 00:25:03.240 now team camp or a move, or just more playing 473 00:25:03.279 --> 00:25:05.599 time with Miami alongside these guys, I think it'll happen 474 00:25:05.640 --> 00:25:08.920 if he kind of goes along with learning different things. 475 00:25:09.160 --> 00:25:10.960 And now I'm not saying be the guy that just 476 00:25:11.079 --> 00:25:13.759 rolls over and takes whatever you're you're told to take, 477 00:25:14.839 --> 00:25:17.640 but in that position, the best players in the world 478 00:25:17.720 --> 00:25:20.799 literally alongside you, You're gonna You're gonna learn stuff even 479 00:25:20.839 --> 00:25:23.599 if you don't want to. Just by osmosis, you're being 480 00:25:23.640 --> 00:25:27.240 around them. And so I don't know, you can't say 481 00:25:27.240 --> 00:25:31.880 that about every team. And I've been on another team 482 00:25:31.920 --> 00:25:34.519 in MLS, I might have something different to say, But 483 00:25:34.960 --> 00:25:37.880 at Miami, I'm like, man, just go learn, go enjoy it. 484 00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:41.240 Yeah, Dell with the counter with the with the pointer 485 00:25:41.359 --> 00:25:44.079 count chance to be in USA camps leading up to 486 00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:46.279 the World Cup, maybe playing time and position would better 487 00:25:46.319 --> 00:25:47.759 than what he can learn from these players. Are they 488 00:25:47.839 --> 00:25:50.640 really teaching him? That goes back to your point about 489 00:25:50.640 --> 00:25:54.599 osmosis and learning from folks like DePaul and Messi and 490 00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:58.079 Suarez and Mascherano and all of that. And that's the thing. 491 00:25:59.200 --> 00:26:04.039 This has to be balanced. Right now, would Kromowski be better, 492 00:26:04.160 --> 00:26:07.599 you know, to go to another team. The thing is 493 00:26:08.799 --> 00:26:12.319 that price tag to get Krimaski away from Messian friends 494 00:26:12.400 --> 00:26:15.319 is not going to be small, and there's only going 495 00:26:15.359 --> 00:26:18.039 to be a certain number of clubs that would be 496 00:26:18.119 --> 00:26:21.880 interested in a player that has the growth curve of 497 00:26:21.920 --> 00:26:26.440 Ben Humming Kromowski. If you send him overseas as an example, 498 00:26:27.400 --> 00:26:29.319 I mean, if you if you send him like if 499 00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:32.119 you if you dial up today, if roll Sun Leahy 500 00:26:32.960 --> 00:26:35.680 is in that corner office with the shiny glass and 501 00:26:35.960 --> 00:26:39.039 the long table and the you know, the long carpet 502 00:26:39.400 --> 00:26:43.759 and the phone that has unlimited international minutes, and he's 503 00:26:43.920 --> 00:26:47.480 trying to figure out something today in Major League Soccer 504 00:26:47.880 --> 00:26:51.960 because you know, deadlines tomorrow. So if we say he's 505 00:26:51.960 --> 00:26:53.960 trying to figure out something for Kremaski in the next 506 00:26:53.960 --> 00:26:58.160 twenty four hours, let's just say then, okay, he's hitting 507 00:26:58.240 --> 00:27:04.039 the phones. Kromowski's man, you know, Okay, so we're tired, 508 00:27:04.079 --> 00:27:05.920 we're done with it, and we're gonna call We're gonna 509 00:27:05.920 --> 00:27:12.160 call folks up. Knowing the public quotes all of the 510 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:15.200 clubs that are worth their salt that might be interested 511 00:27:15.240 --> 00:27:17.440 in Ben Humming Kroumowski. They are going to sit there 512 00:27:17.480 --> 00:27:20.640 and not give the bid that Messi and friends would want. 513 00:27:20.799 --> 00:27:22.119 That's just how this works. 514 00:27:22.160 --> 00:27:24.960 It's going to be, uh, you know, suddenly he calls, 515 00:27:25.039 --> 00:27:28.359 you know, suddenly he calls somebody up.

But but you know, how about you know, 520 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:50.279 how about a twelve pack of Campbell's soup, some romy noodles, 521 00:27:51.400 --> 00:27:57.920 and maybe some you know, maybe some local gluten free bread. 522 00:27:58.960 --> 00:27:59.640 I'll get back to you. 523 00:27:59.680 --> 00:28:01.440 You know, that's what you're going to be getting here 524 00:28:01.960 --> 00:28:04.119 in Major League Soccer for the next twenty four hours. 525 00:28:04.519 --> 00:28:10.599 If you try to send him overseas, overseas director of football, Hello, 526 00:28:10.680 --> 00:28:15.160 long distance phone call, international minutes Hello, you might have 527 00:28:15.200 --> 00:28:18.799 a club that would sit there and go, sure, we'll 528 00:28:18.799 --> 00:28:21.480 pay what you want, because you know, you're dealing with 529 00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:23.640 Messi and friends and it might be something down the 530 00:28:23.680 --> 00:28:26.319 line where it could help you in the world football 531 00:28:26.799 --> 00:28:33.319 landscape of relationships, but would Kromowski play wherever he is 532 00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:35.720 sent that would be the hook for me. 533 00:28:35.920 --> 00:28:37.319 Or is he just gonna. 534 00:28:37.000 --> 00:28:39.799 Well, he's here in the Premier League, or he's here 535 00:28:39.799 --> 00:28:44.200 in the first division of you know, Uzbekistan, and you 536 00:28:44.240 --> 00:28:47.400 know he's sitting on a bench.

Yeah, we're a better league and 541 00:28:59.279 --> 00:29:02.680 he can learn by sitting on the bench or play 542 00:29:03.039 --> 00:29:09.119 minutes in Major League Soccer, learning that environment and figure it's. 543 00:29:09.079 --> 00:29:10.759 Like, look, just by your time. 544 00:29:10.920 --> 00:29:12.759 Cool. You know, everything's going to be cool, kid, Just 545 00:29:12.759 --> 00:29:16.279 bide your time. I mean, I mean, am I am 546 00:29:16.279 --> 00:29:17.720 I looking at this the wrong way? 547 00:29:18.160 --> 00:29:24.200 No, I think, because here's the thing you could gone. 548 00:29:24.279 --> 00:29:28.759 Are the days of MLS sending a young player out 549 00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:33.960 to name a random league and club here just because hey, 550 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:38.240 they're going to get experienced. MLS has actually now grown 551 00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:40.359 to the point where it is better than many many 552 00:29:40.440 --> 00:29:45.559 leagues in the world, not all obviously, but you know 553 00:29:45.599 --> 00:29:48.799 you're talking about sending him to the random club in 554 00:29:49.720 --> 00:29:53.240 you know that part of Asia that's Asia and partially Europe, 555 00:29:54.160 --> 00:29:58.720 And yeah, he might get playing time there, but he 556 00:29:58.759 --> 00:30:02.200 could get that are playing time more more effective and 557 00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:05.039 intentional minutes playing for Inter Miami two. 558 00:30:05.839 --> 00:30:07.839 And and loose to Atlanta United two. 559 00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:11.559 Exactly, And it's like, is that really what you want? 560 00:30:11.599 --> 00:30:13.440 Like he's gonna travel Like cool, he gets the travel, 561 00:30:13.519 --> 00:30:17.440 gets that experience, but like, you're gonna get more as 562 00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:22.079 a player, And I think from an investment perspective to 563 00:30:22.319 --> 00:30:26.880 be there training alongside lin O Messi every day. Who 564 00:30:26.960 --> 00:30:31.319 wouldn't want that? Just like literally the best in the 565 00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:34.039 world and then alongside some of the other best in 566 00:30:34.079 --> 00:30:38.880 the world insert like five of them here. That is 567 00:30:39.039 --> 00:30:41.920 invaluable experience. And it doesn't I don't care if you 568 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:44.720 do go to the Premier League and you play twenty 569 00:30:44.759 --> 00:30:47.599 minutes at the end of every game, like cool, that's great. 570 00:30:48.279 --> 00:30:50.440 You're still not getting the training week in and week 571 00:30:50.480 --> 00:30:52.160 out that you're gonna get from Leonel Messi and all 572 00:30:52.160 --> 00:30:57.960 those guys. Now, would it be effective, yes, But I 573 00:30:57.960 --> 00:30:59.960 think that you need to take advantage of what you 574 00:31:00.000 --> 00:31:02.119 You have a golden opportunity right there in front of you. 575 00:31:02.119 --> 00:31:07.920 You're there, accept it, learn from it, and I guarantee, 576 00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:10.880 come four years from now, when when Messi and all 577 00:31:10.880 --> 00:31:14.640 this other stuff is gone, Kromowski wherever he ends up, 578 00:31:14.799 --> 00:31:17.240 will be a much much better player if he stays 579 00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:20.599 at Miami right now and and like enjoys it and 580 00:31:20.640 --> 00:31:22.119 takes it and takes it all in. 581 00:31:22.480 --> 00:31:24.400 Top ten in minutes, and this is and this is, 582 00:31:24.759 --> 00:31:27.160 and I was like, when you were breaking down your 583 00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:31.200 your kromaskyism, I went and checked his stats, and I've 584 00:31:31.240 --> 00:31:34.920 got his stats here. Top ten in the team in minutes. Yep, 585 00:31:35.359 --> 00:31:39.440 he's top ten in minutes right now, Uh twenty one matches, 586 00:31:39.599 --> 00:31:46.440 fifteen starts, and so I mean you're you're playing six 587 00:31:46.599 --> 00:31:48.799 and it is uh six times in as a sub. 588 00:31:48.839 --> 00:31:51.759 He's got the one goal for assist passing percentage at 589 00:31:51.799 --> 00:31:55.119 eighty six percent, conversion rate at fourteen, So it's like 590 00:31:55.160 --> 00:31:58.640 one out of every seven shots and one out of 591 00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:02.799 two out of every seven shots. It's total attacking assists thirteen, 592 00:32:03.240 --> 00:32:08.839 which puts him obviously top six on the club in 593 00:32:09.759 --> 00:32:12.839 literally in total attacking assists registered by Major League Soccer. 594 00:32:13.880 --> 00:32:20.640 Messi Suarez, Albabusquets Segovia Kromaski six right now in total 595 00:32:20.680 --> 00:32:29.400 attacking assists on target scoring attempts. He is seventh, Messi Suarez, Agendi, Segovia, Pico, Jeordia, 596 00:32:29.400 --> 00:32:33.720 Alba Kramoski. He's tied with cell Awaygan. But nevertheless, and 597 00:32:34.240 --> 00:32:36.759 when you look at obviously with XG, it's going to 598 00:32:36.799 --> 00:32:39.279 be very very low considering the number of opportunities that 599 00:32:39.359 --> 00:32:43.640 you have there. But the numbers, the numbers give you 600 00:32:43.759 --> 00:32:46.960 a top seven to top ten guy on this roster 601 00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:56.519 who's upset at a logjam, Sir Kama, it's gonna be okay. Yeah, 602 00:32:57.160 --> 00:32:59.640 and that's the biggest thing here. It's like it's gonna 603 00:32:59.640 --> 00:33:00.799 be okay. I know that. 604 00:33:01.319 --> 00:33:02.440 I mean, look when. 605 00:33:03.400 --> 00:33:05.839 When definition of a first world problem. 606 00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.559 It's just like, no, I want to play. 607 00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:12.880 Well you are, and then you do better Monday through Friday, 608 00:33:12.920 --> 00:33:15.519 and then hey, guess what your first one off the 609 00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:20.000 bench on a Saturday or a Sunday. Everything's everything will 610 00:33:20.039 --> 00:33:22.000 be fine. I know that you're naturally impatient. We are 611 00:33:22.039 --> 00:33:24.920 all naturally impatient human beings as we are young. Because 612 00:33:25.279 --> 00:33:29.559 we are we are bulletproof and impenetrable. Yeah, and so 613 00:33:29.559 --> 00:33:31.680 so I understand I understand this. 614 00:33:32.200 --> 00:33:32.759 I get it. 615 00:33:33.839 --> 00:33:38.680 Just patience, grasshopper, Patience, patience Grasshopper. 616 00:33:38.319 --> 00:33:42.839 Or you can go play at Grasshopper, true, and then 617 00:33:42.880 --> 00:33:45.759 you could be Matthew Schwanier and and come back and 618 00:33:45.799 --> 00:33:49.119 go to and play at l afc SO and then 619 00:33:49.319 --> 00:33:52.160 the other one of the other big stories that has 620 00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:57.759 worked its way through it appears so of course, uh 621 00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:01.720 Atlanta United finishes playing color and they're headed back this 622 00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:07.759 way and Colorado after you know, having to replace their DMS. 623 00:34:07.799 --> 00:34:09.320 Now I don't know how they communicate, but. 624 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:15.480 Advanced talks to sign Paxton Aronson from Eintrach Frankfurt. Final 625 00:34:15.519 --> 00:34:18.920 details now for Colorado. European clubs trying hard to get 626 00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:21.880 him potentially a club record deal. So well, I mean, 627 00:34:21.920 --> 00:34:25.239 when you get what is it, eight million from Toronto FC, 628 00:34:26.519 --> 00:34:28.519 then you have the possibility to flip that to bring 629 00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:33.360 in Paxton and Aaronson Colorado not wasting any time here 630 00:34:33.400 --> 00:34:36.559 at the tail end of the window. And that would 631 00:34:36.599 --> 00:34:39.760 be another intriguing signing where you now have US M 632 00:34:39.840 --> 00:34:43.320 and T players coming back to play Major League Soccer. 633 00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:46.360 Instead of going abroad, they're now coming back the other 634 00:34:46.400 --> 00:34:50.199 way to play in MLS as opposed to going worldwide 635 00:34:50.239 --> 00:34:53.199 and playing wherever they're going to play first division, second 636 00:34:53.199 --> 00:34:55.519 Division wherever. You're now seeing these these M and T 637 00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:58.039 players coming back into the league, which I think is 638 00:34:58.079 --> 00:35:01.159 another important step for Major League Soccer as a league 639 00:35:01.199 --> 00:35:01.599 on the whole. 640 00:35:03.280 --> 00:35:05.400 Yeah, and you know, we kind of talked about like, 641 00:35:08.239 --> 00:35:12.880 how would well not not how what is Colorado thinking? 642 00:35:13.400 --> 00:35:17.159 And you talk about like this Mahalovich trade, and I 643 00:35:17.159 --> 00:35:20.840 mean it's not necessarily alike for like, but you kind 644 00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:23.280 of hoped that if you're a Colorado fan, they were 645 00:35:23.280 --> 00:35:28.119 going to go and do something to make up for 646 00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:31.679 getting rid of essentially their best player. Pax Aarons is 647 00:35:31.719 --> 00:35:36.119 a good shout. I think that's definitely like one who 648 00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:41.599 comes in and instantly makes the squad better. And then yeah, 649 00:35:41.840 --> 00:35:46.079 it is kind of this this phenomenon, I guess where 650 00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:49.840 we're seeing a lot of players, whether they have started here, 651 00:35:49.960 --> 00:35:52.760 gone to Europe and now are coming back as better 652 00:35:52.800 --> 00:35:58.280 players legitimately most of them, or in some cases you're 653 00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:01.199 seeing MLS kind of snagging folks that maybe would be 654 00:36:01.239 --> 00:36:04.039 going to one of those top five leagues at some 655 00:36:04.159 --> 00:36:08.079 point and Molests' is getting them first. But I mean, 656 00:36:08.119 --> 00:36:10.800 in this case, I think it does nothing but make 657 00:36:10.840 --> 00:36:15.920 Colorado better. And I don't know, I think It's kind 658 00:36:15.920 --> 00:36:18.079 of a toss up on whether or not it's the 659 00:36:18.079 --> 00:36:21.000 best thing for Paxton, But I don't see it as 660 00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:23.239 a bad move at all for him necessarily. I mean, 661 00:36:23.960 --> 00:36:27.960 I just think it's like where he's got the talent 662 00:36:28.000 --> 00:36:31.440 to play in a lot of places, and if Colorado 663 00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:33.920 is willing to step up their game, which it kind 664 00:36:33.920 --> 00:36:36.920 of seems like they're doing to a degree, then I'm 665 00:36:36.960 --> 00:36:39.320 all for it. I Mean, it does nothing but make 666 00:36:39.360 --> 00:36:42.880 the league better at this point, so I'm here for it. 667 00:36:43.599 --> 00:36:51.039 The projected lineup, if that happens, stephanin that and this 668 00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:53.960 is playing armisses three four three. This is just laying 669 00:36:54.000 --> 00:36:56.440 it out there in a graphic. Then you blow the 670 00:36:56.440 --> 00:37:01.280 whistle and everything goes wherever it goes. Stepan back line 671 00:37:01.280 --> 00:37:06.039 of Murphy, Cobbin, Maksu midfield four left to right, Vines Bassett, 672 00:37:06.079 --> 00:37:09.800 Olivia laz and Reggie Cannon, who I am thankful is 673 00:37:09.840 --> 00:37:13.559 getting a regular paycheck instead of his time at Bola Vista, 674 00:37:13.920 --> 00:37:18.960 where he is literally Reggie Cannon loses a lawsuit he lost. 675 00:37:19.079 --> 00:37:24.960 He lost the lawsuit on appeal where Boavista wasn't paying him, 676 00:37:25.639 --> 00:37:29.519 and so he's like, well I'm out, so bola Vista 677 00:37:29.639 --> 00:37:32.039 takes Reggie Cannon to I think it was the Court 678 00:37:32.079 --> 00:37:36.960 of Arbitration for Sport and I think it was cast 679 00:37:37.000 --> 00:37:42.000 whichever whichever governing body was overseeing this this case, gave 680 00:37:42.119 --> 00:37:45.360 a judgment to bola Vista because Cannon left while his 681 00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:48.760 contract was still active. And so it's like, yeah, you 682 00:37:48.800 --> 00:37:53.599 owe seven figures to Bolavista because you jetted, and the 683 00:37:53.880 --> 00:37:57.559 entire world is like what And so it was appealed 684 00:37:57.599 --> 00:37:59.960 and then I think it's back to where everything should be. 685 00:38:00.159 --> 00:38:00.639 That nothing. 686 00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:03.320 It's like, you owe Reggie Cannon money. Reggie Cannon doesn't 687 00:38:03.320 --> 00:38:05.559 owe you a thing, but the fact that during that 688 00:38:05.599 --> 00:38:08.880 process at Boavista, he literally was given a judgment against 689 00:38:08.960 --> 00:38:11.639 him to pay his club that didn't pay him, and 690 00:38:11.679 --> 00:38:15.599 he decided to go sidebarb Wall Pass Wednesday. So your 691 00:38:15.639 --> 00:38:20.000 front line Aaronson, Navajo and Yappie, that would be your 692 00:38:20.039 --> 00:38:24.000 front line. That would be your attack projected if Aaronson comes. 693 00:38:24.039 --> 00:38:28.079 So Aeronson Navajo, Yappy Vine's Bassett, Laura's Cannon, Murphy Cobb, 694 00:38:28.199 --> 00:38:32.599 Masu Stefan that you're starting eleven in Colorado, yep, which 695 00:38:32.599 --> 00:38:33.320 ain't bad. 696 00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:34.320 Now, it's all bad at all. 697 00:38:34.760 --> 00:38:38.159 I mean it's kind of front loaded because of I mean, 698 00:38:38.559 --> 00:38:44.039 obviously it's like, okay, you three go and the midfield 699 00:38:44.079 --> 00:38:47.559 will help, you know, Cole Bassett, Sam Vines, et cetera. 700 00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:51.239 And then you've got folks drifting back to help out 701 00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:55.159 a Noah Maksu Murphy lineup. So there is some there's 702 00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:56.840 some offense in then their pieces. 703 00:38:56.880 --> 00:39:02.440 Perhaps, Yeah, I think it's still rely is maybe heavily. 704 00:39:02.519 --> 00:39:04.639 I think we're maybe starting to see that that tide 705 00:39:04.679 --> 00:39:10.119 turn a little bit though. But Navarro, Look, most clubs 706 00:39:10.119 --> 00:39:12.320 are gonna live and die by their striker, and that's 707 00:39:12.360 --> 00:39:14.280 just how it is. If your striker's on, it's a 708 00:39:14.280 --> 00:39:16.440 good day. If he's not, it's a bad day. Sask 709 00:39:16.480 --> 00:39:18.719 Atlanta United, it's kind of where they're at right now. 710 00:39:19.320 --> 00:39:25.360 But I mean, the easiest switch to flip is your 711 00:39:25.400 --> 00:39:29.360 striker getting it and the rest of the team doing 712 00:39:29.360 --> 00:39:31.320 what do they need to do to get your striker 713 00:39:31.360 --> 00:39:35.559 to get it. And to be fair, Colorado has gotten 714 00:39:35.639 --> 00:39:38.800 Navarro where he needs to be, I think at this point, 715 00:39:39.639 --> 00:39:41.880 and now it's a matter of now is he going 716 00:39:41.920 --> 00:39:43.360 to be like the long term solution, I don't know, 717 00:39:43.440 --> 00:39:47.760 but I think every player that you bring in from 718 00:39:47.760 --> 00:39:50.400 now on should kind of fit the style that they're 719 00:39:50.400 --> 00:39:51.960 trying to play now and just make it better. Because 720 00:39:51.960 --> 00:39:56.519 the style that they're playing now is it's no frills. 721 00:39:56.199 --> 00:40:00.159 It's basic. But they're doing it pretty well. I mean 722 00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:03.199 they're seventh in the West right now, but like it's 723 00:40:03.760 --> 00:40:08.480 they're right there, you know what, three four, four points 724 00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:10.800 out of fifth, six out of four. I mean like 725 00:40:11.119 --> 00:40:13.639 they're they're doing the job and they're getting results where 726 00:40:13.639 --> 00:40:17.840 they need to. So you bring in a guy like Paxton, 727 00:40:18.280 --> 00:40:22.000 I think that takes what you are already doing okay, 728 00:40:22.320 --> 00:40:23.360 and you just make it better. 729 00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:27.320 Well, I mean you mentioned it being no frills. I 730 00:40:27.400 --> 00:40:33.519 mean and Walton Kronkie is married to Stan Kronki and 731 00:40:33.599 --> 00:40:36.719 she is an heiress to the Walmart fortune. So I 732 00:40:36.760 --> 00:40:39.559 mean the whole no frills thing. I think I think 733 00:40:39.599 --> 00:40:43.960 people people in the ksc Umbrella Kronky Sports Entertainment, they 734 00:40:44.440 --> 00:40:46.199 kind of know the no frills kind of deal. 735 00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:49.960 Why have we not made a bigger deal about this? 736 00:40:50.039 --> 00:40:52.920 I feel like, whis this like the whole Walmart thing 737 00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:56.880 in Colorado? Well, this should be like a thing like 738 00:40:56.880 --> 00:40:59.599 like what is their special? Is it like the blue 739 00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:01.119 Blue now that was. 740 00:41:02.960 --> 00:41:03.320 Special? 741 00:41:03.760 --> 00:41:04.880 What is what does Walmart do? 742 00:41:05.239 --> 00:41:08.199 Walmart just does things inexpensively. I don't think that does 743 00:41:08.239 --> 00:41:10.920 Walmart have like a name for their specials. I thought 744 00:41:10.920 --> 00:41:16.079 they used to hang on Walmart special hang on Walmart specials. 745 00:41:16.159 --> 00:41:17.800 Let me see you see if they have the name 746 00:41:18.800 --> 00:41:26.880 uh Walmart uh flash Deals savings. It's like flash Deals weekly. 747 00:41:26.599 --> 00:41:28.559 And roll roll back, roll back? 748 00:41:29.239 --> 00:41:30.519 Thank you? 749 00:41:31.360 --> 00:41:34.840 Okay, So so so you're you're suggesting that the that 750 00:41:34.920 --> 00:41:38.679 the rapids of the rapids approach on the field is 751 00:41:38.719 --> 00:41:39.400 a roll back. 752 00:41:39.599 --> 00:41:42.159 Yeah, and then they can made the Colorado rollbacks. 753 00:41:42.079 --> 00:41:44.360 You see now and then that and they have to 754 00:41:44.480 --> 00:41:46.559 but then you have to change the color scheme. 755 00:41:46.320 --> 00:41:47.559 To blue instead of burgundy. 756 00:41:47.840 --> 00:41:49.840 I guess you'd have to go to blue, blue and 757 00:41:49.960 --> 00:41:52.360 yellow with the Colorado rollbacks. 758 00:41:52.440 --> 00:41:55.320 It can be their alternate kid, their third kit. 759 00:41:55.679 --> 00:41:56.719 Now, that would be pretty strong. 760 00:41:57.000 --> 00:41:58.760 It would be pretty deep actually, if you if you 761 00:41:58.800 --> 00:41:59.800 did something like that. 762 00:42:00.599 --> 00:42:06.000 And with Walmart now having a partnership see with las Yeah, 763 00:42:06.639 --> 00:42:08.519 I think that there's things to be done here. 764 00:42:08.599 --> 00:42:14.719 The Colorado rollbacks. Okay, coming out of the match in Colorado, 765 00:42:15.280 --> 00:42:20.760 Alexi Midonchuk is literally if I'm gonna if I'm at 766 00:42:20.800 --> 00:42:24.360 a poker table and I'm seeing what Alexi Madonchuk has 767 00:42:24.360 --> 00:42:27.119 done in the last six weeks. I'm looking over my 768 00:42:27.199 --> 00:42:29.519 right shoulder and I'm seeing how he's playing his hands, 769 00:42:29.559 --> 00:42:31.440 whether it's blackjack or something like that, and I'm staring 770 00:42:31.440 --> 00:42:34.119 at him and I'm going, Okay, he's he's on a 771 00:42:34.159 --> 00:42:36.039 heater right now, and I'm just going to keep riding 772 00:42:36.159 --> 00:42:40.760 what I see from him. I'm not going to encourage 773 00:42:40.800 --> 00:42:44.440 teams in Major League Soccer to come out and mark 774 00:42:44.880 --> 00:42:47.800 Alexi outside the eighteen. I'm not going to mention anything 775 00:42:47.880 --> 00:42:50.000 like that. I'm just going to continue to let Alexi 776 00:42:50.000 --> 00:42:51.800 have the ball from about twenty to twenty two out 777 00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:55.119 and just launch. It happens, Yeah, I mean most of 778 00:42:55.159 --> 00:42:56.599 the time it ends up in the back of the net. 779 00:42:56.679 --> 00:43:00.840 Got another one against Colorado. He is he is in 780 00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:03.840 absolute rhythm right now and it's a fun watch to see. 781 00:43:04.480 --> 00:43:08.039 Yeah, I've said I say it all the time. I 782 00:43:08.039 --> 00:43:11.239 feel like, but like, you gotta let the praise be 783 00:43:11.280 --> 00:43:19.079 as lot as a criticism. And in all fairness, there 784 00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:21.880 is still a lot of making up to do. But 785 00:43:23.239 --> 00:43:26.679 he is right now by far, and it's not even close. 786 00:43:26.760 --> 00:43:29.760 The best dplanning and has on the roster in terms 787 00:43:29.760 --> 00:43:31.880 of output and like what he's doing in terms of 788 00:43:31.880 --> 00:43:35.159 goals and assists. Now, I do think there's still something 789 00:43:35.159 --> 00:43:37.079 to be said, and people might not necessarily like it, 790 00:43:37.119 --> 00:43:39.119 but I do think Miggi is providing more in like 791 00:43:39.159 --> 00:43:42.840 creativity in getting into the final third, but then once 792 00:43:42.840 --> 00:43:45.679 he gets into the final third, it's becoming very ineffective. 793 00:43:47.440 --> 00:43:49.679 Moran Chuck is doing what he needs to do. He's 794 00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:51.960 finally hitting the back of the net. Of course, he's 795 00:43:52.000 --> 00:43:54.199 also blocking trist to me from the back of the 796 00:43:54.280 --> 00:43:58.519 debt too, but that's a different story. But no, I 797 00:43:58.519 --> 00:44:05.599 think going back months, it feels like like screaming, whether 798 00:44:05.639 --> 00:44:08.519 it's in the press box or at the TV, for 799 00:44:08.679 --> 00:44:13.719 Alexi to just take shots from that weird little sweet 800 00:44:13.760 --> 00:44:16.679 spot that he has right there about twenty yards just 801 00:44:16.800 --> 00:44:20.079 outside the box on the right side, with his left 802 00:44:20.119 --> 00:44:24.519 foot because he has it in his pocket. The times 803 00:44:24.519 --> 00:44:27.159 that he's missed this season, they've all hit the bar 804 00:44:28.199 --> 00:44:31.119 or they've just skimmed past the bar. But he's hitting 805 00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:32.920 them more often than he's missing them, which is wild. 806 00:44:32.960 --> 00:44:35.840 So I want to see more of that. I want 807 00:44:35.840 --> 00:44:37.440 to see more of him getting involved. I mean, he's 808 00:44:37.440 --> 00:44:43.639 making more, he's making more kind of intentional runs as well, 809 00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:47.440 maybe again joking around about the Miyamba thing to kind 810 00:44:47.440 --> 00:44:50.239 of his own detriment at that point. But like, the 811 00:44:50.280 --> 00:44:52.519 thing is that he's there, He's getting into the attack 812 00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:55.000 a lot more. He's not just kind of sitting up, 813 00:44:55.159 --> 00:44:58.239 you know, forty yards back and kind of watching things 814 00:44:58.320 --> 00:45:01.079 progress in front of him. He's getting in So I 815 00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:05.679 like it. I think that he's kind of evolving a 816 00:45:05.679 --> 00:45:09.639 little bit to fit maybe more of either a what 817 00:45:09.800 --> 00:45:12.719 Dila wants or B what the team has given him 818 00:45:12.760 --> 00:45:16.480 at this point in its current iteration. So I mean, 819 00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:19.800 if he can continue to do what he's doing, be 820 00:45:19.920 --> 00:45:22.760 involved in the attack in all aspects of it, and 821 00:45:22.800 --> 00:45:25.039 then MIGGI and late Loft can get going, this is 822 00:45:25.079 --> 00:45:28.039 an entirely different team at that point. I mean, we're 823 00:45:28.079 --> 00:45:31.880 having a totally different conversation if all of your dps 824 00:45:31.960 --> 00:45:36.559 are even just marginally better than they are right now. 825 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:42.280 I'm kind of giving a bit of a tease to 826 00:45:42.679 --> 00:45:44.679 Prescription for Victory brought to us by our friends of 827 00:45:44.719 --> 00:45:50.239 Children's Health Care of Atlanta for Saturday. But yes, Am 828 00:45:50.239 --> 00:45:52.840 and the PM is one of the topics, and I 829 00:45:52.880 --> 00:45:56.599 went back and looked at the last five matches for Alexi, 830 00:45:57.679 --> 00:46:02.880 and he has registered in I mean outside of the goals. 831 00:46:03.639 --> 00:46:07.280 Outside of the goals. He has registered in nine categories, 832 00:46:07.880 --> 00:46:12.239 nine separate categories over the last five matches in one way, 833 00:46:12.280 --> 00:46:17.360 shape or form, passing it about eighty four percent, and 834 00:46:18.039 --> 00:46:24.559 he has eight fourteen out of fourteen for twenty two. 835 00:46:24.599 --> 00:46:30.159 On duels he's registered either a block a tackle. He 836 00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:33.719 has eight key passes in the last five games. Technically 837 00:46:33.760 --> 00:46:36.840 it's eight in the last four registered on a couple 838 00:46:36.880 --> 00:46:41.440 of crosses. He has connected on thirteen long balls over 839 00:46:41.480 --> 00:46:45.079 the last five matches, a couple of dribbles passed, couple 840 00:46:45.119 --> 00:46:48.320 of clearances, and a couple of picks defensively, So nine 841 00:46:48.360 --> 00:46:51.199 different categories and passing it about eighty four percent over 842 00:46:51.239 --> 00:46:54.480 the last five matches. So that statistical breakdown will appear 843 00:46:55.000 --> 00:46:59.679 on the Halo board on Saturday. But yeah, when you 844 00:46:59.760 --> 00:47:04.320 see that Sunday Sunday, sorry good, its gracious, yeah, because 845 00:47:04.320 --> 00:47:06.800 it's it's the twos at OCB on Saturday. That's yeah, 846 00:47:06.800 --> 00:47:09.199 Twoes and OCB on the network on Saturday Sunday at 847 00:47:09.280 --> 00:47:13.800 four ten is the kick for Atlanta and Toronto. But yeah, 848 00:47:14.039 --> 00:47:17.239 nine separate categories in passing eighty four percent plus the 849 00:47:17.280 --> 00:47:20.679 goals he has scored in the last handful of matches, 850 00:47:20.719 --> 00:47:24.119 like the last six matches. So feed the man, that's 851 00:47:24.119 --> 00:47:26.760 all I'm saying. Just feed him and let him run. 852 00:47:27.320 --> 00:47:32.880 Yeah, yeah, I mean because there is a tendency I 853 00:47:32.920 --> 00:47:35.119 think where he maybe tries to get a little bit 854 00:47:35.119 --> 00:47:39.039 too involved in the build up, which to a degree 855 00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:42.679 is working with Miggie and Ronald Hernandez over there. I 856 00:47:42.719 --> 00:47:44.639 think that that trio has kind of developed a little 857 00:47:44.639 --> 00:47:45.400 bit of chemistry. 858 00:47:45.440 --> 00:47:47.480 I think I think Miggi, miton Chuck and Ronnie has 859 00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:50.679 been a good triangle over there on that right hand sower. 860 00:47:50.800 --> 00:47:54.000 Yeah, they've kind of figured it out. Then it's just 861 00:47:54.039 --> 00:47:59.280 a matter of can you use you know, the run 862 00:47:59.360 --> 00:48:01.599 to unlock the pa as vice versa. You've got to 863 00:48:01.599 --> 00:48:03.440 get the left hand side more involved to take a 864 00:48:03.480 --> 00:48:04.920 little bit of the pressure off of them, because if 865 00:48:04.920 --> 00:48:08.400 you can continue to have them absolutely tearing up the 866 00:48:08.480 --> 00:48:10.480 right because they can almost move the ball down the 867 00:48:10.559 --> 00:48:13.480 right side at will, They're they're that good at this point. 868 00:48:14.239 --> 00:48:16.559 But then it's a matter of and Slish drops in 869 00:48:16.599 --> 00:48:17.920 there as well. I gotta give Slish a lot of 870 00:48:17.960 --> 00:48:20.800 credit because he just kind of is playing the best 871 00:48:20.840 --> 00:48:23.039 ball of his heat. Land You're not a career right now. 872 00:48:24.239 --> 00:48:26.719 You've got to get the left side really, really involved 873 00:48:26.760 --> 00:48:31.000 a lot more, just so that they can and they, 874 00:48:31.079 --> 00:48:34.360 being the opposition defense, have something else to think about 875 00:48:35.320 --> 00:48:37.679 because it does get very crowded on that right side. 876 00:48:37.679 --> 00:48:40.719 Because you're a fool if you don't guard Maggie. You're 877 00:48:40.760 --> 00:48:43.320 definitely a fool now in the past two months, if 878 00:48:43.320 --> 00:48:46.159 you don't guard Morancho, especially in that spot you're talking about. 879 00:48:46.039 --> 00:48:48.920 Right side, that does is it creates we talk about 880 00:48:48.960 --> 00:48:52.559 positional gravity. Okay, two guys go to am then that 881 00:48:52.599 --> 00:48:55.000 means somebody's open, and it's the key is to find 882 00:48:55.000 --> 00:48:56.880 that open guy and have the switch and go to 883 00:48:56.920 --> 00:48:58.960 the left hand side and have it be clinical. 884 00:48:58.840 --> 00:49:00.920 And then if because then what you have is let's 885 00:49:00.920 --> 00:49:03.159 just say Luke Brennan as an example. Sure, Luke Brennan 886 00:49:03.239 --> 00:49:05.800 is incredibly confident, and I love that about him. That's 887 00:49:05.800 --> 00:49:08.159 why I've always loved watching him play, because he is confident, 888 00:49:09.440 --> 00:49:12.239 and it's sometimes and I mean this with all due 889 00:49:12.239 --> 00:49:15.760 respect because I love it, it's almost like that stupid 890 00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:17.559 confidence at times where he's just like, I'm gonna take 891 00:49:17.599 --> 00:49:19.119 this guy on one v one. I don't even care. 892 00:49:19.480 --> 00:49:22.920 I don't care, but he's really good at it. He's 893 00:49:22.960 --> 00:49:27.559 getting into the box and you see the opportunities that 894 00:49:27.559 --> 00:49:29.880 he's created, whether he got credit for them or not, 895 00:49:30.519 --> 00:49:32.960 he's it comes from taking guys on one v one, 896 00:49:33.000 --> 00:49:37.679 making good passes and when you have that positional gravity 897 00:49:37.719 --> 00:49:39.440 like you're talking about. On the right hand side, with 898 00:49:39.480 --> 00:49:44.039 everybody over there, Miggy Moran, Chuck Ronald will make a 899 00:49:44.119 --> 00:49:49.599 run occasionally, Slish will make a run occasionally. It leaves 900 00:49:49.719 --> 00:49:51.679 Luke Brennan over on that left hand side to be 901 00:49:51.719 --> 00:49:53.559 able to just do what he needs to do, which 902 00:49:53.599 --> 00:49:55.639 is take on guys and get into the box. And 903 00:49:55.639 --> 00:49:57.360 then from that point on it's just making either the 904 00:49:57.440 --> 00:50:00.000 right pass or taking the shot just a half step early, 905 00:50:01.079 --> 00:50:03.400 and I think it opens up a lot. And then 906 00:50:04.440 --> 00:50:07.239 all of that combined with if late Lof can just 907 00:50:09.119 --> 00:50:12.920 get his confidence in his mojo back, I really do think, 908 00:50:13.119 --> 00:50:17.159 and I know, I know like this season has been crap. 909 00:50:17.599 --> 00:50:21.000 We're being honest, like it's been rough, but I don't 910 00:50:21.039 --> 00:50:25.320 think that this team is as far down in the 911 00:50:25.400 --> 00:50:27.920 dumps as we all like to think they are, and 912 00:50:27.960 --> 00:50:29.679 we feel like they are right now because where they're 913 00:50:29.679 --> 00:50:33.000 aut in the standings. I think it is very minimal 914 00:50:33.079 --> 00:50:34.800 in terms of the tweaks that need to happen to 915 00:50:34.880 --> 00:50:39.360 get them right. It is not you know, La Galaxy 916 00:50:39.400 --> 00:50:41.199 where they had to wait an entire season just to 917 00:50:41.199 --> 00:50:44.079 get a lot of guys back from injury. It's just 918 00:50:44.280 --> 00:50:47.199 little things that need to be done slightly better. And 919 00:50:47.280 --> 00:50:49.840 this team is I'm not saying they're living up to 920 00:50:49.880 --> 00:50:51.880 the expectations at the beginning of the season, but I 921 00:50:51.880 --> 00:50:55.599 think they're a lot closer and they would be a 922 00:50:55.599 --> 00:50:57.079 lot higher up the standings. 923 00:50:57.639 --> 00:51:02.880 And you've got Toronto coming to town Sunday at four 924 00:51:03.840 --> 00:51:09.800 four ten, and Toronto once again they pick up Mihailovich. 925 00:51:10.199 --> 00:51:15.119 I mean, look the front office for Toronto. They they 926 00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:18.960 they're they're like Scrooge McDuck man. It's just literally, you 927 00:51:18.960 --> 00:51:21.199 know cart cartman and the dollar bills. It's just like, 928 00:51:21.280 --> 00:51:26.000 you know, literally, you know, it's that's what you see 929 00:51:26.079 --> 00:51:28.199 in loonies and tunis, and they're just it's like, yep, 930 00:51:28.320 --> 00:51:31.800 we'll do what we need to do. And they finally 931 00:51:31.800 --> 00:51:36.440 got to the point where they used both of their 932 00:51:36.480 --> 00:51:39.280 oopsies on and Signor and Bernardeski and they're like y'all 933 00:51:39.440 --> 00:51:43.000 just get out, we're done. And then you bring in 934 00:51:43.400 --> 00:51:46.119 you bring in Mihailovich as part of the the retooling 935 00:51:46.199 --> 00:51:50.960 in Toronto, and they're still trying to figure out who 936 00:51:50.960 --> 00:51:53.480 they are. They thought they knew who they were. Then 937 00:51:53.840 --> 00:51:56.599 they decide to jettison their big names and then they 938 00:51:56.599 --> 00:51:58.800 bring in another big name. So it's wash Rents and 939 00:51:58.800 --> 00:52:03.599 repeat to a certain degree. Uh Atlanta has lost only 940 00:52:03.760 --> 00:52:06.679 once at Mercedes Been Stadium in the nine matches that 941 00:52:06.800 --> 00:52:09.639 Toronto has come. Toronto has come to Town's right. That 942 00:52:09.639 --> 00:52:10.800 second t is pretty silent. 943 00:52:11.000 --> 00:52:11.519 They gets you. 944 00:52:11.679 --> 00:52:13.920 The Toronto has come to you know, shoot, I worked 945 00:52:13.960 --> 00:52:17.000 up there for four years. I don't know by now. Uh, Toronto, 946 00:52:17.920 --> 00:52:21.360 they're trying to figure out who they are, and it's 947 00:52:21.440 --> 00:52:24.800 it's going to I imagine that this match this weekend 948 00:52:24.880 --> 00:52:27.199 is going to have a lot of sandpaper attached to it, 949 00:52:28.000 --> 00:52:30.960 just on general premise, because you want to start making 950 00:52:31.000 --> 00:52:33.400 a statement around those folks that are near you in 951 00:52:33.440 --> 00:52:36.320 the standings, just so you can sit there and say, well, uh, 952 00:52:36.360 --> 00:52:37.400 you got more to work. 953 00:52:37.199 --> 00:52:38.559 On than I do, and I'm better than you. 954 00:52:40.119 --> 00:52:42.679 Yeah, I'm anticipating, Like I said, I'm anticipating a lot 955 00:52:42.719 --> 00:52:44.960 of sandpaper in this one. No, I agree. 956 00:52:45.039 --> 00:52:48.159 I think you're at that point in this season, regardless 957 00:52:48.159 --> 00:52:51.840 of really where anybody's out in the standings, where there's 958 00:52:51.920 --> 00:52:53.519 going to be an extra bit of bite added to 959 00:52:53.599 --> 00:52:55.639 everything because if you're at bottom of the table, you're 960 00:52:55.639 --> 00:52:57.840 playing for pride or you should be playing for pride 961 00:52:57.880 --> 00:53:01.280 at that point and uh a spot on the roster 962 00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:05.119 next year if we're being honest. Now, are some players 963 00:53:05.119 --> 00:53:08.119 safer than others? Absolutely, we know this, That's how MLS 964 00:53:08.239 --> 00:53:12.000 especially works. But then you move your way up the 965 00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:19.239 table and you're fighting for what is a very very 966 00:53:19.239 --> 00:53:21.719 tight race for the supporter shield, a very very tight 967 00:53:21.840 --> 00:53:26.880 race for the for both sides the conference leaders, and 968 00:53:26.920 --> 00:53:30.400 then a very very tight race for the play in 969 00:53:30.519 --> 00:53:35.800 spot and playoff the lower playoff you know, rungs of 970 00:53:35.840 --> 00:53:38.960 the ladder. So I mean, you could you could pretty 971 00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:41.920 much tune into any MLS match over the next month 972 00:53:41.920 --> 00:53:44.159 and a half two months and it'll it'll probably be 973 00:53:44.159 --> 00:53:50.440 a little spicier than you see. And that's the benefit 974 00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:54.159 of having a playoff structure, and it has its its cons, 975 00:53:54.239 --> 00:53:58.239 but it's got plenty of pros as well. This one specifically, 976 00:53:58.360 --> 00:54:00.320 I mean Atlanta and Toronto. They're one point off of 977 00:54:00.320 --> 00:54:04.920 each other, and Toronto's making moves, Atlanta's making moves like 978 00:54:05.800 --> 00:54:10.119 maybe a different vision for each team, but at this 979 00:54:10.239 --> 00:54:12.840 point they're both essentially playing for pride. I mean, it 980 00:54:12.880 --> 00:54:14.519 would be very tough for either one of them to 981 00:54:14.599 --> 00:54:18.039 even catch Chicago at thirty nine points, where both of 982 00:54:18.079 --> 00:54:20.199 them are at twenty two and twenty three. Right, it's tough, 983 00:54:20.320 --> 00:54:23.639 but you can, like you said, absolutely handle the ones 984 00:54:23.639 --> 00:54:26.000 that are around you and give yourself something to build 985 00:54:26.039 --> 00:54:30.400 on I hope going into the offseason. And also just 986 00:54:31.000 --> 00:54:35.280 get the new guys, get better call confidence, get alsat confidence, 987 00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:41.000 chemistry with the rest of the team, get Moran Chuck 988 00:54:41.079 --> 00:54:43.360 more confidence. If you can get Miggy and Lante Loth 989 00:54:43.480 --> 00:54:45.079 back where they need to be before the end of 990 00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:47.519 the season, then cool, like you're on the right track. 991 00:54:48.039 --> 00:54:51.760 And it starts with games like this where knock on wood, 992 00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:55.320 they are winnable games and you're at home and you 993 00:54:55.480 --> 00:55:00.960 need to show your fans at home something very positive. 994 00:55:02.000 --> 00:55:05.440 Leaguees Cup. It was cool Atlas. That was cool doesn't 995 00:55:05.440 --> 00:55:07.880 count in my opinion, Like I mean, there was admittedly 996 00:55:07.920 --> 00:55:11.159 there weren't people there. Now you're back in a match 997 00:55:11.199 --> 00:55:16.119 that I say counts, It counts. I mean it might 998 00:55:16.159 --> 00:55:19.039 not count overall and the grand scheme of things, but 999 00:55:19.079 --> 00:55:22.159 it counts more than a League's Cup match that did 1000 00:55:22.199 --> 00:55:24.599 not matter at all that you won four to one. 1001 00:55:25.119 --> 00:55:28.800 This one is a big deal. Go and show that 1002 00:55:28.880 --> 00:55:32.440 you have made the right moves, at least in this 1003 00:55:32.480 --> 00:55:34.719 summer window, because there's more coming later in the winter, 1004 00:55:34.760 --> 00:55:38.760 I'm sure. But go and give your fans something to 1005 00:55:38.760 --> 00:55:39.400 be excited about. 1006 00:55:40.519 --> 00:55:43.599 And to Abby's point, go to the game on Sunday 1007 00:55:44.159 --> 00:55:48.199 because after the match, it's just a five match. And 1008 00:55:48.480 --> 00:55:51.760 for those that may not remember what happened when it 1009 00:55:52.079 --> 00:55:57.159 was five Stripes Unified for Brunch when they went up 1010 00:55:57.199 --> 00:56:01.800 to Bemo to play the day night double header in Toronto. 1011 00:56:01.880 --> 00:56:05.239 The last time, it was a five to three batch 1012 00:56:05.239 --> 00:56:08.880 of crazy yep against Toronto FC and the Unified match 1013 00:56:08.960 --> 00:56:11.679 and so x Man had a big day, they had 1014 00:56:11.679 --> 00:56:13.920 a big second half, but it was nuts. I mean, 1015 00:56:14.760 --> 00:56:18.039 so after it Lanta United. I mean, obviously the match 1016 00:56:18.039 --> 00:56:20.880 will be on atlutd dot com and on the youtubes 1017 00:56:20.960 --> 00:56:24.920 and things like that, but go stay, go support. 1018 00:56:24.519 --> 00:56:26.880 The unified team and we will. 1019 00:56:27.360 --> 00:56:29.920 We've had the discussions with Marty jellmy about the growth 1020 00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:31.679 of the program this season with all the things that 1021 00:56:31.719 --> 00:56:36.280 they've been able to do. But yes, go comma, stay, comma, cheer. 1022 00:56:36.800 --> 00:56:39.320 What's the latest? It scarves and spikes as we go. 1023 00:56:40.639 --> 00:56:44.480 So, now that we don't have a match tonight, I 1024 00:56:44.920 --> 00:56:48.599 was actually supposed to be at training today finally, and 1025 00:56:48.639 --> 00:56:51.320 then they moved it to tomorrow's I was like, Okay, 1026 00:56:51.320 --> 00:56:54.400 I guess it's just not meant to be. But no, 1027 00:56:54.679 --> 00:56:56.800 So we have our normal show tonight at seven. We 1028 00:56:56.880 --> 00:56:59.440 got Heath Peers popping in with us for about a 1029 00:56:59.480 --> 00:57:05.159 half hour at seven fifteen and then and of course 1030 00:57:05.159 --> 00:57:08.199 we're doing our Monday show as usual, MLS Monday right 1031 00:57:08.400 --> 00:57:11.679 our Reaction show normally on Sunday, but because of this 1032 00:57:11.840 --> 00:57:14.320 Sunday match, it'll be kind of like a double header 1033 00:57:14.360 --> 00:57:18.199 next Monday. So that's the schedule right now. We'll be 1034 00:57:18.199 --> 00:57:21.159 doing the pre match show, regular pre match not sign 1035 00:57:21.199 --> 00:57:24.480 me a pre match Sunday before the game. 1036 00:57:24.320 --> 00:57:27.679 Starts, and we will all be there to watch it 1037 00:57:27.880 --> 00:57:30.480 and it will be it will be an interesting time 1038 00:57:30.480 --> 00:57:34.239 at Mercedes Bins as Toronto FC comes to town and 1039 00:57:34.280 --> 00:57:36.400 we find out what the stretch run is going to 1040 00:57:36.480 --> 00:57:39.559 look like for Landy United. Thank you for sharing your 1041 00:57:39.559 --> 00:57:43.599 interior decorating tips with us. I'll do my best, and yeah, 1042 00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:45.880 for me, it's just kind of thrown over a thrown 1043 00:57:45.920 --> 00:57:47.639 over a ride, and we'll see what happens and try 1044 00:57:47.639 --> 00:57:50.480 to make sure that things don't break. As always, my friend, 1045 00:57:50.480 --> 00:57:52.320 we'll see you this weekend. Be safe and we'll catch 1046 00:57:52.360 --> 00:57:54.159 up with you soon. Enjoy coffee number two. 1047 00:57:55.079 --> 00:57:59.199 Actually that was number two. I got started early today. 1048 00:57:59.000 --> 00:58:01.239 So thikes, okay, so go enjoy cup number three and 1049 00:58:01.280 --> 00:58:03.719 some breakfast. We'll catch up soon, my friend. All right, 1050 00:58:03.760 --> 00:58:06.639 there goes Tyler, and that's our number one here on 1051 00:58:06.800 --> 00:58:15.519 a wall pass Wednesday to the interior decorating point before 1052 00:58:16.119 --> 00:58:18.280 we get into our number two. And I want to 1053 00:58:18.360 --> 00:58:20.639 look at your thoughts and say hi to everybody and 1054 00:58:20.679 --> 00:58:22.960 all that kind of stuff and get into transfers and 1055 00:58:23.079 --> 00:58:26.079 news of the day and all that. I don't know 1056 00:58:26.119 --> 00:58:28.840 what it is, but things just kind of happen in groups. 1057 00:58:29.559 --> 00:58:39.239 So the other night I was in a room and something. 1058 00:58:39.280 --> 00:58:43.880 And there are sometimes where the acoustics here at office 1059 00:58:44.039 --> 00:58:47.280 HD can carry from floor to floor and it might 1060 00:58:47.320 --> 00:58:49.719 just be like weak spots and things like that. So 1061 00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:54.119 I was on a floor that was not the top floor, 1062 00:58:54.280 --> 00:58:57.880 and I heard a noise. So I was like, Okay, 1063 00:58:57.920 --> 00:59:00.719 where is this noise coming from and and why should 1064 00:59:00.719 --> 00:59:05.679 I be concerned. I end up not finding where the 1065 00:59:05.679 --> 00:59:07.760 noise was because you know, it could be like birds 1066 00:59:07.760 --> 00:59:09.800 and raccoons and things and they get into you get 1067 00:59:09.800 --> 00:59:13.440 into your crawl spaces and things like that, and that 1068 00:59:13.519 --> 00:59:17.800 has happened in the past. So at about one o'clock 1069 00:59:17.840 --> 00:59:23.280 in the morning, I go into my closet that has 1070 00:59:23.440 --> 00:59:27.280 you know, like the T shirts and things, and I 1071 00:59:27.400 --> 00:59:33.480 see that the shelving that is directly across from me, Like, 1072 00:59:33.519 --> 00:59:36.079 if I walk into the closet, there's shelving and I've 1073 00:59:36.079 --> 00:59:39.039 got a bunch of T shirts that are on a stack, 1074 00:59:39.079 --> 00:59:41.280 and I've got a bunch of a bunch of jerseys 1075 00:59:41.280 --> 00:59:43.280 and golf shirts that are hung on that one. 1076 00:59:43.280 --> 00:59:45.119 As you go into the you. 1077 00:59:45.079 --> 00:59:50.719 Go into the closet, I noticed that some of the 1078 00:59:50.840 --> 00:59:54.760 shirts that were above and that were on the actual 1079 00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:59.159 shelf itself had kind of leaned forward. And I'm like, Okay, 1080 00:59:59.199 --> 01:00:02.119 that's uncharacter. They're not supposed to be leaning forward. It's 1081 01:00:02.119 --> 01:00:05.719 like they'd slipped out of place. And so it took 1082 01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:08.119 me a couple of minutes to figure it out. But 1083 01:00:09.440 --> 01:00:13.800 the shelving has started to come out of the wall, 1084 01:00:14.639 --> 01:00:16.880 and I don't think it's on a stud, and so 1085 01:00:16.920 --> 01:00:18.679 it was just when they were assembling the house with 1086 01:00:18.719 --> 01:00:23.480 the shelves and everything, so it's one of the one 1087 01:00:23.519 --> 01:00:25.639 of the screws had started to come out of the 1088 01:00:25.719 --> 01:00:28.960 wall space and I have because of the sheer number 1089 01:00:28.960 --> 01:00:32.159 of T shirts and things and golf shirts and jerseys 1090 01:00:32.199 --> 01:00:35.719 on that rack, I have it braced and I know 1091 01:00:35.760 --> 01:00:37.639 that you're all sitting there going I'm shocked that John 1092 01:00:37.679 --> 01:00:43.880 has this much stuff. So the brace had slid forward 1093 01:00:45.039 --> 01:00:48.440 as the shelf had come forward, and so that's what 1094 01:00:48.480 --> 01:00:53.639 the noise was. So I've had to basically evacuate about 1095 01:00:53.679 --> 01:00:56.079 a third of the closet as we wait for the 1096 01:00:56.119 --> 01:00:59.480 handyman to come in and sit there and redo the 1097 01:00:59.480 --> 01:01:02.320 shelf and put it on a stud to where the 1098 01:01:02.360 --> 01:01:04.679 whole thing doesn't fall and collapse, which has happened in 1099 01:01:04.719 --> 01:01:05.239 the past. 1100 01:01:06.400 --> 01:01:08.320 And so that was what it was. Actually it was 1101 01:01:09.039 --> 01:01:09.840 being left handed. 1102 01:01:10.119 --> 01:01:13.800 It is that closet right there where it happened in 1103 01:01:13.840 --> 01:01:15.559 the past, and we had to have a handyman come 1104 01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:18.559 in and literally smash it on the studs to where 1105 01:01:18.599 --> 01:01:22.760 it locked into place. So yeah, that's where we are 1106 01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:25.639 right now. John has a lot of stuff and it's 1107 01:01:25.679 --> 01:01:27.960 causing things to fall down here in Office HD. 1108 01:01:28.039 --> 01:01:32.920 I know you're shocked. So that's where that's where that is. 1109 01:01:32.960 --> 01:01:35.719 So yeah, I'm causing problems here and there in Office 1110 01:01:35.840 --> 01:01:37.360 HD and a bunch of different floors and a bunch 1111 01:01:37.360 --> 01:01:40.840 of different levels. Okay, it is our number two. Technically 1112 01:01:40.920 --> 01:01:42.519 we have turned the one hour mark. So let me 1113 01:01:42.880 --> 01:01:46.159 say hi to everybody and let me know what's on 1114 01:01:46.280 --> 01:01:50.079 your mind here on a Wednesday. So Morning Loakville, Morning Sheerif, 1115 01:01:50.119 --> 01:01:56.360 Morning David, Morning Abbey. And but yeah, so Abby's first 1116 01:01:56.360 --> 01:01:58.480 point about screwing a hook in the ceiling to hang 1117 01:01:58.519 --> 01:02:02.519 the banner might be doing something with a screw into 1118 01:02:02.559 --> 01:02:04.800 the studs to make sure that the shelving doesn't follow 1119 01:02:04.800 --> 01:02:11.119 in the upstairs closet. Let's see morning Dell. And Abby's issue 1120 01:02:11.519 --> 01:02:13.440 is that she has no more room for the frame 1121 01:02:13.519 --> 01:02:19.360 signed Jerseys. Sadly, I can relate at least here in 1122 01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:23.760 the office space because the boss went out and got 1123 01:02:23.800 --> 01:02:28.199 a bunch of frames and everything is hung and literally 1124 01:02:28.239 --> 01:02:32.639 there is no room left on the wall, no room 1125 01:02:32.719 --> 01:02:36.559 left on any of the four walls to hang anything 1126 01:02:36.599 --> 01:02:41.000 else sportsy. We've gone into the bathroom to hang things 1127 01:02:41.840 --> 01:02:44.880 and literally is a framed North Texas jersey in there, 1128 01:02:46.159 --> 01:02:48.960 and so then it's posters and everything else that's attached, 1129 01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:51.800 and that's kind of drifted its way down the hall 1130 01:02:52.239 --> 01:02:56.440 and up the bottom staircase because you're you're leading into 1131 01:02:56.480 --> 01:02:59.079 the office and so the bottom staircase in the floor 1132 01:02:59.119 --> 01:03:01.440 is turned into sports off and hanging, and then we've 1133 01:03:01.440 --> 01:03:02.800 started doing it in the upper bedrooms. 1134 01:03:02.840 --> 01:03:06.280 It's kind of taken over. So that's that's where we are. 1135 01:03:06.079 --> 01:03:08.159 We're getting to that point of critical mass and trying 1136 01:03:08.159 --> 01:03:09.960 to figure out, Okay, what can we put in what 1137 01:03:10.000 --> 01:03:10.719 can we put in frames? 1138 01:03:10.760 --> 01:03:11.559 And where can we put it? 1139 01:03:13.079 --> 01:03:17.079 Let's see. So Abby says she's got a Peach Team 1140 01:03:17.159 --> 01:03:20.960 sign Lennon not frames signed, Joseph and Miles Miles by 1141 01:03:21.000 --> 01:03:23.599 the way, signing a contract extension with s C Cincinnati 1142 01:03:23.599 --> 01:03:27.880 that happened last night. Children's the childhood Disease of Luisa 1143 01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:32.480 Brom haven't gotten it signed yet. Scarves and signed and all. 1144 01:03:32.320 --> 01:03:33.360 Of that stuff. 1145 01:03:33.440 --> 01:03:36.400 Yes, supporter scarf is always a summer scarf. Yeah, that's 1146 01:03:36.440 --> 01:03:40.079 easy to get signed. And the Faction one last faction 1147 01:03:40.159 --> 01:03:43.400 one is here in this stack over here, let's see 1148 01:03:43.400 --> 01:03:47.719 so Dell and Abby Dell Avy lienol Messi card Auto 1149 01:03:47.760 --> 01:03:50.480 Marks of Excellence had to send back because of all 1150 01:03:50.519 --> 01:03:53.800 the rumors supposed to be remade, re signed and authenticated. Wow, 1151 01:03:55.159 --> 01:03:59.199 no update on Brooks. Abby's looking for an update on Brooks. Lennon, 1152 01:03:59.280 --> 01:04:03.760 do not have an update on Brooks. And you know, 1153 01:04:03.840 --> 01:04:09.440 when it's that surgically repaired part of the body, then 1154 01:04:09.679 --> 01:04:11.679 you got to keep an eye on it. But hopefully 1155 01:04:11.679 --> 01:04:14.840 this week we'll have some news as to the seriousness. 1156 01:04:14.840 --> 01:04:16.119 You know, the Brooks is going to want to play. 1157 01:04:17.079 --> 01:04:20.760 But obviously we'll see this week at the children So 1158 01:04:20.760 --> 01:04:24.719 Health Carolinta training ground. How it affects if it was 1159 01:04:24.880 --> 01:04:28.159 just a if it was just a knock there in 1160 01:04:28.280 --> 01:04:31.920 Colorado and everything is back fine here after a little 1161 01:04:31.920 --> 01:04:35.039 bit of rehabilitation and such. No idea on the seriousness 1162 01:04:35.320 --> 01:04:38.079 of the carryover really of the seriousness of Brooks's injury. 1163 01:04:38.079 --> 01:04:39.440 Obviously, will keep. 1164 01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:47.719 An eye on that this week, Morning, Will, And let's see. 1165 01:04:47.800 --> 01:04:54.719 So let's see morning Will, Morning Abby. And like I said, 1166 01:04:54.760 --> 01:04:59.360 I'm trying to scan here, Will. Why isn't Hibbert starting 1167 01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:04.719 in a dead Sea, you know it is there are 1168 01:05:04.800 --> 01:05:09.199 still things to chase after. And I am of the 1169 01:05:09.480 --> 01:05:14.400 mindset that until you until you can't, then you keep 1170 01:05:14.480 --> 01:05:17.519 doing it. Yeah, yeah, and I and look, I know 1171 01:05:17.559 --> 01:05:20.159 the numbers. I know the numbers and the standings and 1172 01:05:20.239 --> 01:05:23.760 I know what they are. But you keep chasing to 1173 01:05:23.800 --> 01:05:26.440 get the best position that you can. You come up 1174 01:05:26.519 --> 01:05:28.440 to try to come up with as as good an 1175 01:05:28.519 --> 01:05:32.159 ending to the season as you can. And then I 1176 01:05:32.199 --> 01:05:35.199 think that that if it gets to that point, you 1177 01:05:35.280 --> 01:05:39.400 will see more of the younger players starting and trying 1178 01:05:39.440 --> 01:05:42.599 to figure out how they integrate into this entire discussion. 1179 01:05:43.360 --> 01:05:51.199 As you will, Bara call Alsat, Leo Afonso, all of 1180 01:05:51.239 --> 01:05:52.679 the the folks. 1181 01:05:52.360 --> 01:05:53.159 That have been. 1182 01:05:54.519 --> 01:05:57.920 Brought in, you will see them. You will see them 1183 01:05:58.039 --> 01:06:01.159 more a if they earn the men mines from what 1184 01:06:01.199 --> 01:06:05.280 we see during the week outright. And then the younger players. 1185 01:06:05.760 --> 01:06:08.000 Uh Leola Fonzo actually got minutes for the twos on 1186 01:06:08.039 --> 01:06:10.320 the weekend just to try to get some minutes under 1187 01:06:10.320 --> 01:06:16.360 his belt. So uh you know Mehai Barra call Alzate Afonso, 1188 01:06:16.920 --> 01:06:20.079 the younger players. You know, like I said, until there 1189 01:06:20.119 --> 01:06:22.639 is until there isn't anything to chase after, you go 1190 01:06:22.679 --> 01:06:24.840 with your starting eleven and you push and you push 1191 01:06:24.880 --> 01:06:29.760 and you push because you know that's that is the 1192 01:06:29.920 --> 01:06:34.440 mindset that you got. You know, you don't even if 1193 01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:36.840 the math is foreboding, and once again we can look 1194 01:06:36.840 --> 01:06:40.039 at last year as an example, even if the math 1195 01:06:40.119 --> 01:06:42.039 is foreboding, you keep pushing because you never know what's 1196 01:06:42.039 --> 01:06:45.599 going to happen. And so you want your you want 1197 01:06:45.599 --> 01:06:47.760 your top line players to continue pushing. You want your 1198 01:06:47.760 --> 01:06:50.559 younger players to continue to push. So there it's because 1199 01:06:50.559 --> 01:06:53.159 there is something to push for. For the younger players, 1200 01:06:53.320 --> 01:06:55.719 it's more playing time. For the younger players, it's to integrate. 1201 01:06:55.760 --> 01:06:59.920 For the established players, it's to assure their spot and 1202 01:07:00.719 --> 01:07:04.000 to for the coaching staff to determine, okay, what does 1203 01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:05.840 it look like with the decisions that they have to 1204 01:07:05.840 --> 01:07:08.719 make in the off season, and there are plenty of 1205 01:07:08.800 --> 01:07:14.239 decisions to make, so it is it is. 1206 01:07:14.920 --> 01:07:16.840 It is something to be chased after. 1207 01:07:16.880 --> 01:07:21.039 There are always things to chase after until well, un 1208 01:07:21.039 --> 01:07:23.559 till through the end of the season, but on various levels, 1209 01:07:23.559 --> 01:07:26.760 there are still things to chase after. So uh, you 1210 01:07:26.800 --> 01:07:28.880 don't throw, you don't throw in any kind of a towel, 1211 01:07:29.360 --> 01:07:32.679 and you just see where it goes until you're eliminated. 1212 01:07:32.719 --> 01:07:35.199 You're not eliminated. I know that sounds very Yogi beara ish, 1213 01:07:35.199 --> 01:07:38.559 but that's the case. And then you see how the 1214 01:07:38.599 --> 01:07:40.880 players are Monday through Friday. You see how the younger 1215 01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:45.079 players are stepping up. You see how the see how 1216 01:07:45.119 --> 01:07:48.400 the the the see the senior senior players. That's that 1217 01:07:48.480 --> 01:07:51.239 makes them sound like they're like eighty. But the veterans 1218 01:07:52.320 --> 01:07:55.000 see how they all integrate together. Well, like I said, 1219 01:07:55.119 --> 01:07:58.960 me Hi Bara call alzat Alfonso, the younger players and 1220 01:08:00.000 --> 01:08:03.440 everybody's chasing for something. Younger players are chasing after more 1221 01:08:03.440 --> 01:08:06.440 playing time. Younger players are chasing after starting eleven spots. 1222 01:08:06.760 --> 01:08:12.719 Veteran players are chasing after either a contract renewal of 1223 01:08:12.760 --> 01:08:16.439 an option year or trying to show a future employer 1224 01:08:16.479 --> 01:08:20.039 that they are worth being employed. And if you don't 1225 01:08:20.079 --> 01:08:23.000 show those characteristics, then obviously you'll get found out one 1226 01:08:23.000 --> 01:08:28.119 way or the other. So that's what you're staring at here. 1227 01:08:29.479 --> 01:08:30.840 And like I said, I know the numbers are what 1228 01:08:30.840 --> 01:08:32.920 the numbers are in the standings. Trust me, I know 1229 01:08:32.920 --> 01:08:36.039 what the numbers are. But there's a lot to there's 1230 01:08:36.039 --> 01:08:39.039 a lot to look for, and you never know what's 1231 01:08:39.079 --> 01:08:41.760 going to happen. In the process, you can find relationships 1232 01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:43.159 on the left hand side that you've got on the 1233 01:08:43.199 --> 01:08:43.720 right hand side. 1234 01:08:43.760 --> 01:08:44.920 You figure out who those players are. 1235 01:08:44.920 --> 01:08:46.439 You figure out what Ronnie Diland is looking for, You 1236 01:08:46.479 --> 01:08:48.359 figure out what the staff is looking for, figure out 1237 01:08:48.359 --> 01:08:53.920 who those players are as the players continue to integrate 1238 01:08:53.960 --> 01:08:56.039 with one another and figure out what those relationships are. 1239 01:08:56.359 --> 01:08:59.560 Remember with Tyler, we were talking about what we're seeing 1240 01:08:59.600 --> 01:09:05.439 with Alexi Miggi and Ronald, that that that triangle over 1241 01:09:05.479 --> 01:09:07.479 there on the right hand side of the attack, that 1242 01:09:07.479 --> 01:09:09.920 that's finding some rhythm and now it's trying to figure 1243 01:09:09.920 --> 01:09:12.560 out how to replicate that on the left. Is it Luke, 1244 01:09:12.720 --> 01:09:15.479 is it Saba? Who's with Sleash? What's your left back situation? 1245 01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:17.039 I know that you are trying to figure it out 1246 01:09:17.119 --> 01:09:20.760 with Pedro Amador until he got injured. No update on 1247 01:09:20.760 --> 01:09:24.479 Pedromed or either, and now Brooks is having to play 1248 01:09:24.479 --> 01:09:28.520 out a position, and then you're trying to figure out, Okay, 1249 01:09:28.560 --> 01:09:31.119 what do we do here? And obviously if Brooks can't go, 1250 01:09:31.279 --> 01:09:33.680 then does that mean that Ronald turns into your left 1251 01:09:33.720 --> 01:09:36.359 back against Toronto? And then you figure out what your 1252 01:09:36.439 --> 01:09:39.520 right back situation is. So there are a lot of 1253 01:09:39.560 --> 01:09:41.720 there are a lot of x's and O type questions 1254 01:09:41.760 --> 01:09:45.800 that you you look at here with three of the 1255 01:09:45.880 --> 01:09:48.760 fourth the back, then figure out how see if there 1256 01:09:48.800 --> 01:09:51.199 is an injury, then something shifts, and then how do 1257 01:09:51.199 --> 01:09:55.680 you fill that space? So those are the larger questions 1258 01:09:55.720 --> 01:09:58.840 as we get ready for Toronto. What does the left 1259 01:09:58.840 --> 01:10:03.600 hand side look like? Then what is your midfield? How 1260 01:10:03.640 --> 01:10:05.600 are you filling in those spots? And then what is 1261 01:10:05.680 --> 01:10:08.600 the situation that left back with injury? So that's what 1262 01:10:08.640 --> 01:10:10.960 you're getting into with Toronto coming up in a bit. 1263 01:10:12.840 --> 01:10:15.720 And then Abby was and then Abby's discussing that they 1264 01:10:15.720 --> 01:10:17.800 had Josh Cohen starting their match, and I think a 1265 01:10:17.800 --> 01:10:21.319 part of that is a rehab also where Josh is 1266 01:10:21.359 --> 01:10:22.960 coming off of injury and so you're trying to get 1267 01:10:23.000 --> 01:10:26.000 him minutes to get him back into playing shape and 1268 01:10:26.640 --> 01:10:30.479 possibly be the number one backup. But I mean, obviously 1269 01:10:30.600 --> 01:10:34.319 Jayden Hibbert is making a case. And so remember that 1270 01:10:34.439 --> 01:10:39.479 Jayden has three subsequent option years after this season on 1271 01:10:39.520 --> 01:10:43.239 his contract, So keep an eye, keep an eye on 1272 01:10:43.279 --> 01:10:45.039 all of that. And we'll go through obviously all of 1273 01:10:45.079 --> 01:10:49.359 the contract stuff that is attached as we get into 1274 01:10:49.399 --> 01:10:52.880 the offseason and figure out what's going on and those 1275 01:10:53.000 --> 01:10:56.279 I think it's eleven decisions now that have to be made, 1276 01:10:56.119 --> 01:10:59.560 whether it's for renewals or contracts or discussions or what 1277 01:10:59.600 --> 01:11:09.199 have you. And morning Wiley, Morning Abby. Let's see So 1278 01:11:11.199 --> 01:11:18.279 Abby and Wiley and m A TCN congratulations for the competences. Okay, 1279 01:11:19.239 --> 01:11:20.880 Abby says she's got a hook for me. She'll put 1280 01:11:20.920 --> 01:11:24.479 it in the abstomobile, load in at nine am, leave 1281 01:11:24.520 --> 01:11:29.079 it in the media suite for Joe to give to me. Yeah, 1282 01:11:29.199 --> 01:11:31.000 that probably is probably the best idea as we try 1283 01:11:31.039 --> 01:11:33.239 to figure out everything that are there. 1284 01:11:33.680 --> 01:11:35.239 So yes, thank you, Abby. 1285 01:11:36.359 --> 01:11:38.760 And I know that there is I know that there's 1286 01:11:38.800 --> 01:11:43.039 a lot of let's see, how do I phrase, y'all 1287 01:11:43.079 --> 01:11:46.520 ain't happy about this season? And I mean if anybody, 1288 01:11:46.640 --> 01:11:48.920 if anybody is, then I don't know why they would be. 1289 01:11:49.520 --> 01:11:54.319 But to one of the points that Wiley is making 1290 01:11:54.560 --> 01:11:59.399 in the twitch pitch, literally, I mean, you look at 1291 01:11:59.439 --> 01:12:02.039 this sea and know the wins and losses and the 1292 01:12:02.159 --> 01:12:08.359 expected output are far disappointing than anyone probably could have 1293 01:12:08.359 --> 01:12:12.279 imagined on a bunch of different fronts. But I think 1294 01:12:12.439 --> 01:12:16.640 out of this, I think that what we have seen 1295 01:12:17.119 --> 01:12:22.359 is proof that the development of the younger players through 1296 01:12:22.359 --> 01:12:25.239 the academy and the twos, and all of that continues 1297 01:12:25.279 --> 01:12:30.960 to flourish because you saw the continued growth of Jay 1298 01:12:31.039 --> 01:12:33.600 fortune with national team duty, and we preserved the right 1299 01:12:33.640 --> 01:12:35.960 to be mad at Saudi Arabia's national team and Ervernard 1300 01:12:36.039 --> 01:12:39.079 until further notice, because I mean, you would picture what 1301 01:12:39.159 --> 01:12:44.840 this midfield would look like with j and he's injured, 1302 01:12:44.880 --> 01:12:48.439 so you can't. But you see Jay, you see Matt Edwards, 1303 01:12:48.520 --> 01:12:52.079 you see jad and Hibbert. You've seed obviously Ephra and 1304 01:12:52.119 --> 01:12:54.039 Noah as a part of the discussion before they were 1305 01:12:54.119 --> 01:13:00.439 moved to Montreal and Colorado, respectively. But then you have 1306 01:13:01.079 --> 01:13:03.680 Dominic Chung Kui who's on the on a growth curve 1307 01:13:03.760 --> 01:13:08.560 and trying to uh solidify a spot on the first 1308 01:13:08.560 --> 01:13:13.199 team right now. You know, Dom is trying to navigate 1309 01:13:13.960 --> 01:13:17.399 all of the expectations of those those first team thoughts, 1310 01:13:18.159 --> 01:13:23.199 and dom is playing in uh the three four three 1311 01:13:23.319 --> 01:13:28.479 on the weekend against Crown Legacy. So the the growth 1312 01:13:28.560 --> 01:13:31.199 is there, the players are there. Will Riley another example, 1313 01:13:31.239 --> 01:13:35.680 once again, Will Riley getting in first team minutes. Will 1314 01:13:35.920 --> 01:13:38.600 Jay now, and let me know if I've skipped anybody, 1315 01:13:39.680 --> 01:13:47.520 Will Jay, Jaden, Matt Edwards, Efron Matt before they before 1316 01:13:47.560 --> 01:13:49.439 they were moved on d c Q. 1317 01:13:53.439 --> 01:13:55.319 And I know I'm forgetting, folks, but I mean. 1318 01:13:55.159 --> 01:13:58.319 That is to give you an example of the growth 1319 01:13:58.359 --> 01:14:02.880 and the promise that is there that caninues to develop well. 1320 01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:05.840 And Wiley, I mean they do get they they do 1321 01:14:05.960 --> 01:14:10.319 get moved on and by players who perform worse. But 1322 01:14:10.439 --> 01:14:14.239 I mean you don't know that until it happens. I mean, uh, 1323 01:14:14.800 --> 01:14:18.479 you you have your research that is done, and there's 1324 01:14:18.520 --> 01:14:21.079 I mean there's only so I mean when when we 1325 01:14:21.199 --> 01:14:23.920 look at I know, Wiley, you had mentioned it, the 1326 01:14:24.319 --> 01:14:27.000 idea of the tweaks. I mean, there's only so much 1327 01:14:27.039 --> 01:14:32.159 that a coaching staff can do Monday through Friday. It's 1328 01:14:32.239 --> 01:14:35.079 up to the players to perform in that. And if 1329 01:14:35.079 --> 01:14:38.920 the players are just missing, if if the connection isn't there, 1330 01:14:38.960 --> 01:14:41.159 that it's just off a bit, and it's not. It's 1331 01:14:41.399 --> 01:14:44.119 there's only so much a coaching staff can do. Coaching 1332 01:14:44.119 --> 01:14:48.880 staff can't be out there to do those kinds of things, 1333 01:14:50.319 --> 01:14:54.479 and so it's it's up to the players. Two. And 1334 01:14:54.600 --> 01:14:56.039 this is the chicken and egg argument that we get 1335 01:14:56.079 --> 01:15:00.159 into all the time with the with the coaches, the 1336 01:15:00.199 --> 01:15:05.079 coaching staff with the game plan that they implement. Then 1337 01:15:05.239 --> 01:15:07.840 it is up to the players in those moments to 1338 01:15:07.960 --> 01:15:13.039 perform the game plan. And if something's a little off, 1339 01:15:13.079 --> 01:15:15.239 if if that connection is just a little bit off, 1340 01:15:15.319 --> 01:15:18.560 if if the decision isn't the right decision in any 1341 01:15:18.600 --> 01:15:22.479 given moment, if somebody doesn't if somebody misses an assignment, 1342 01:15:23.039 --> 01:15:24.119 that's not a coaching thing. 1343 01:15:26.039 --> 01:15:27.159 So it's it. 1344 01:15:27.640 --> 01:15:34.520 I would I would ask that A that A and 1345 01:15:34.560 --> 01:15:37.359 I'm not going to say critical I but just a 1346 01:15:37.359 --> 01:15:42.239 an A. Take out the magnifying glass and just look 1347 01:15:42.319 --> 01:15:49.840 at the situations inside the match itself. And we talk 1348 01:15:49.880 --> 01:15:53.159 about game stayed a lot. So what I what I 1349 01:15:53.199 --> 01:15:58.199 would ask is if something just missed or if and 1350 01:15:58.319 --> 01:16:03.039 if an event happened, why did it happen? And so 1351 01:16:03.159 --> 01:16:06.399 that it you know, it requires kind of going back 1352 01:16:06.399 --> 01:16:08.359 a little bit and looking and maybe looking at something 1353 01:16:08.359 --> 01:16:10.520 more than once, because I know that when we look 1354 01:16:10.520 --> 01:16:13.479 at something in real time in front of us, we 1355 01:16:13.520 --> 01:16:16.279 have that initial reaction. And there are times when I 1356 01:16:16.359 --> 01:16:19.279 have to go back and I will look at an 1357 01:16:19.279 --> 01:16:21.359 event and I will sit there and I'll analyze and 1358 01:16:21.359 --> 01:16:23.159 sit there and walk it back and sit there and go, Okay, 1359 01:16:23.199 --> 01:16:25.039 this happened, this happened, and this happened, So that means 1360 01:16:25.039 --> 01:16:27.239 that this player needs to do this, this player needs 1361 01:16:27.279 --> 01:16:29.479 to do this, and so in a way, it's it's 1362 01:16:29.520 --> 01:16:32.880 a way for me to learn going forward. If we 1363 01:16:33.039 --> 01:16:36.800 have an event happen in a match that is obviously 1364 01:16:36.800 --> 01:16:39.560 detrimental to it Land United, but it's something where we 1365 01:16:39.640 --> 01:16:42.239 all have to kind of take critical eyes. I'm not 1366 01:16:42.239 --> 01:16:45.720 necessarily I'm not necessarily saying be critical about it, but 1367 01:16:46.039 --> 01:16:48.680 take a critical I to a situation and ask the 1368 01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:53.000 deeper question as to, well, why did this happen? You know, 1369 01:16:53.079 --> 01:16:55.800 what was the what was the responsibility here, what was 1370 01:16:55.800 --> 01:16:59.079 the expectation here from the coaches? All of those kinds 1371 01:16:59.119 --> 01:17:01.960 of things that you together to formulate what happened in 1372 01:17:01.960 --> 01:17:06.760 that moment and hope that you learn from it. You 1373 01:17:07.199 --> 01:17:11.039 know that. So it literally is it is taking a 1374 01:17:11.079 --> 01:17:13.279 critical I and probably taking a little bit more of 1375 01:17:13.279 --> 01:17:17.640 an analytical approach to what we see on a game 1376 01:17:17.680 --> 01:17:19.359 by game basis, because the results aren't there. 1377 01:17:19.359 --> 01:17:20.279 Why aren't the results there? 1378 01:17:20.319 --> 01:17:22.760 Then you go back to those moments and you try 1379 01:17:22.800 --> 01:17:25.239 and figure out, Okay, what was the decision in that 1380 01:17:25.359 --> 01:17:28.319 moment that created this, that created this, that created this, 1381 01:17:28.920 --> 01:17:36.920 that created the ultimate negative moment in that case, and 1382 01:17:37.000 --> 01:17:40.079 so well and Wiley to your point, Yeah, it sounds 1383 01:17:40.119 --> 01:17:41.560 like the job of the coaching staff. Yes, and so 1384 01:17:41.560 --> 01:17:44.800 if the coaching staff, if we have a critical moment, 1385 01:17:44.840 --> 01:17:48.079 let's just say capital C capital and critical moment. If 1386 01:17:48.119 --> 01:17:51.680 we have a critical moment that happens in a match, 1387 01:17:53.039 --> 01:17:57.000 then why did it happen? Well, then if player if 1388 01:17:57.039 --> 01:17:59.680 player one did this and they were supposed to do this, 1389 01:18:01.159 --> 01:18:04.279 then that comes down to decision making in that moment 1390 01:18:04.439 --> 01:18:10.159 as opposed to what was taught or I don't know 1391 01:18:10.159 --> 01:18:13.880 if it's teaching, but if if in practice the coaches 1392 01:18:13.960 --> 01:18:16.439 lay out a scenario where Okay, this is going to 1393 01:18:16.479 --> 01:18:19.520 happen with this guy, this guy or this guy, then 1394 01:18:20.039 --> 01:18:22.760 then some of it is also instinct too. So it's 1395 01:18:22.840 --> 01:18:26.479 just it's just a deeper understanding of a moment in 1396 01:18:26.600 --> 01:18:31.279 a match where okay, did did a player over commit? 1397 01:18:31.560 --> 01:18:34.039 You know, in a in a moment, did did a 1398 01:18:34.039 --> 01:18:37.399 player crash when they probably shouldn't have, even if it 1399 01:18:37.479 --> 01:18:39.119 is their natural instinct to do so. 1400 01:18:39.119 --> 01:18:39.920 So I think it's just. 1401 01:18:40.520 --> 01:18:43.920 What I would ask for is in these moments, and 1402 01:18:44.279 --> 01:18:48.119 I mean it for both a coaching situation and for 1403 01:18:48.199 --> 01:18:50.239 a player in that moment. So take a take a 1404 01:18:50.279 --> 01:18:53.399 moment in a match, whatever that moment is, I don't know, 1405 01:18:53.439 --> 01:18:55.159 mark it down on a piece of paper or something, 1406 01:18:56.279 --> 01:18:58.640 and sit there and go Okay, this happened. 1407 01:18:58.720 --> 01:18:59.680 Why did it happen? 1408 01:19:00.720 --> 01:19:02.760 And then almost go film room and go back and 1409 01:19:02.800 --> 01:19:05.439 back and back and back, and true to your point, 1410 01:19:05.479 --> 01:19:08.840 Wily that if though, if they can't or don't implement 1411 01:19:08.840 --> 01:19:11.439 the changes properly, then that means that there's probably someone 1412 01:19:11.479 --> 01:19:17.680 on the bench that deserves that chance to take that 1413 01:19:17.880 --> 01:19:21.960 place over from that other player. And then it's an 1414 01:19:22.000 --> 01:19:24.840 opportunity for those younger players or those other individuals on 1415 01:19:24.880 --> 01:19:26.640 the roster that are not in the starting eleven to 1416 01:19:26.640 --> 01:19:32.680 take advantage of a situation. And so that's where we 1417 01:19:32.720 --> 01:19:34.720 look at when it comes to game state is literally 1418 01:19:34.800 --> 01:19:38.680 just sit there and go okay, this happened, Why did 1419 01:19:38.680 --> 01:19:43.520 it happen? And what could have been done differently to 1420 01:19:43.600 --> 01:19:46.479 come up with a different result. Take that information, hope 1421 01:19:46.479 --> 01:19:49.319 the player learns from it and apply it forward. So, 1422 01:19:49.359 --> 01:19:52.159 like I said, it literally is it's almost like taking 1423 01:19:52.199 --> 01:19:55.720 notes on a game by game basis and sitting there 1424 01:19:55.760 --> 01:19:57.640 and saying, okay, well, if the player did this, and 1425 01:19:57.680 --> 01:19:59.560 if it's the same player that did the thing, and if. 1426 01:19:59.439 --> 01:20:02.640 The same player did it again, then it is. 1427 01:20:04.199 --> 01:20:06.479 Time for a decision to be made about, you know, 1428 01:20:06.520 --> 01:20:09.680 whether or not this player continues to start, regardless of 1429 01:20:09.720 --> 01:20:11.640 the level of experience that they may have and the 1430 01:20:11.640 --> 01:20:14.560 trust that was there for the coaching staff. So yeah, 1431 01:20:14.560 --> 01:20:17.640 I know, it's like taking a deeper critical eye into something. 1432 01:20:18.279 --> 01:20:22.319 And so that's what I would ask is that while 1433 01:20:22.359 --> 01:20:26.119 we have our initial reactions, at the same time, take 1434 01:20:26.159 --> 01:20:29.800 the information from that work backward a little bit and 1435 01:20:29.920 --> 01:20:32.039 kind of and have a deeper understanding as to what 1436 01:20:32.119 --> 01:20:35.520 happened in that moment. And if I'm not doing that, 1437 01:20:36.520 --> 01:20:41.119 then let me know. And so what I would like 1438 01:20:41.159 --> 01:20:43.159 for us all to do literally is sit there and 1439 01:20:43.520 --> 01:20:44.399 learn and go forward. 1440 01:20:45.800 --> 01:20:47.479 Trust me, I am not the. 1441 01:20:49.640 --> 01:20:51.840 I am not the the A plus at the A 1442 01:20:51.920 --> 01:20:54.239 plus plus when it comes to analyzing things. And I 1443 01:20:54.279 --> 01:20:56.000 will sit there and I have to look at something, 1444 01:20:57.159 --> 01:21:00.359 I'll shuttle through it three or four times to sit 1445 01:21:00.359 --> 01:21:02.640 there and try and figure out, Okay, in this situation, 1446 01:21:02.800 --> 01:21:06.600 this happened here, here, and here, and for me, it's 1447 01:21:06.640 --> 01:21:10.359 a combination of looking at something more than once and 1448 01:21:10.399 --> 01:21:12.319 then I guess that's the beauty of having Apple TV 1449 01:21:13.119 --> 01:21:16.880 and looking at it and analyzing it, taking notes and 1450 01:21:16.960 --> 01:21:22.079 understanding Okay, if A, then B. So that's that's kind 1451 01:21:22.079 --> 01:21:25.039 of where I am at it. I'm a very I 1452 01:21:25.079 --> 01:21:28.920 am a visual learner, and at the same time, I 1453 01:21:28.960 --> 01:21:32.399 have to take the metric crap ton of notes. And 1454 01:21:32.159 --> 01:21:34.800 you've known me for as long as we've been together 1455 01:21:35.479 --> 01:21:39.960 that I take copious notes. You listen to me on 1456 01:21:40.000 --> 01:21:46.039 the postgame show and I am looking with I'm listening 1457 01:21:46.079 --> 01:21:53.680 to postgame press conferences and I'm taking furious notes. So 1458 01:21:53.760 --> 01:22:00.079 that's that's kind of where I am. And so and 1459 01:22:00.079 --> 01:22:04.720 and Wiley, I appreciate I appreciate your honesty this morning 1460 01:22:04.720 --> 01:22:07.479 in the Twitch pitch, and I know that sometimes the 1461 01:22:07.800 --> 01:22:09.880 conversations that we kind of have in the topics that 1462 01:22:09.920 --> 01:22:13.000 we have are kind of fleeting, and it literally for 1463 01:22:13.119 --> 01:22:15.439 me at times is like squirrel when I'm looking at 1464 01:22:15.479 --> 01:22:19.600 notes and everything. And trust me, as someone who has 1465 01:22:21.439 --> 01:22:24.359 covered the team from the beginning and covered Major League 1466 01:22:24.359 --> 01:22:28.880 soccer for a while, I know that it is a 1467 01:22:28.920 --> 01:22:32.039 frustration considering what has what has happened in the team's past. 1468 01:22:33.560 --> 01:22:35.520 I know it's a frustration. I know that that there 1469 01:22:35.600 --> 01:22:38.239 is an expectation level here. The expectation level is in 1470 01:22:38.319 --> 01:22:46.279 the building, and it's not like they're ignoring the expectation 1471 01:22:46.520 --> 01:22:53.000 level and the understanding of wanting to succeed. Everybody. Everybody 1472 01:22:53.000 --> 01:22:58.520 wants to succeed in that building. But then it comes 1473 01:22:58.560 --> 01:23:02.800 down to individual disc decisions in games and trying to 1474 01:23:03.079 --> 01:23:07.720 avoid a cascade like we have seen this year, and 1475 01:23:07.800 --> 01:23:10.640 for a for a club that I feel has played 1476 01:23:10.680 --> 01:23:15.079 better in the last six weeks, you still have those 1477 01:23:15.159 --> 01:23:18.319 moments of you know, just you know, missed it by 1478 01:23:18.319 --> 01:23:21.079 that much, this close, this close, this close, and this close, 1479 01:23:22.359 --> 01:23:24.359 and so it's all that's all kind of where we are. 1480 01:23:24.880 --> 01:23:25.000 Uh. 1481 01:23:25.239 --> 01:23:28.119 Jared is joining us from the Mountain time zone this morning, 1482 01:23:29.600 --> 01:23:34.520 and uh x what what is it? X G and 1483 01:23:34.560 --> 01:23:40.680 what aren't real? Oh? Birds? Okay, because I was trying 1484 01:23:40.680 --> 01:23:42.439 to read your your lower third and it's like x 1485 01:23:42.479 --> 01:23:44.960 G and what aren't real? I mean it's like, dude, 1486 01:23:45.000 --> 01:23:49.760 I have to wear glasses now now we were I know, well, 1487 01:23:50.159 --> 01:23:52.640 I have bifocals and they tell me that they're progressive 1488 01:23:52.720 --> 01:23:54.800 lenses and I'm like, look, I tell my ophthalmologists. Look, 1489 01:23:54.800 --> 01:23:56.279 just tell me they're buyfocals. You don't have to you 1490 01:23:56.319 --> 01:23:59.119 don't have to spin it for me. Look, they're bifocals. 1491 01:23:59.159 --> 01:24:04.039 I get it. I'm I'm I'm blind because of all 1492 01:24:04.039 --> 01:24:06.600 the years I've spent in front of monitors and TVs 1493 01:24:06.640 --> 01:24:11.399 and things like that, fide lights. Yes, all all the things, 1494 01:24:11.439 --> 01:24:16.880 absolutely true. We were kind of going over transfers and 1495 01:24:17.039 --> 01:24:22.520 things and the idea of of Paxton Aaronson, the Colorado 1496 01:24:22.600 --> 01:24:27.159 looking at that starting eleven, the anger of Ben Humming Kramowsky, 1497 01:24:27.760 --> 01:24:34.439 the window coming closing for Atlanta United, and then you 1498 01:24:34.560 --> 01:24:39.640 have another ten days for stuff going on overseas. First off, 1499 01:24:40.560 --> 01:24:43.119 since we haven't had the chance to catch up, really, 1500 01:24:44.000 --> 01:24:46.800 what was it like to be back with the gang 1501 01:24:46.840 --> 01:24:51.319 there at Dick Sporting Goods Park for Atlanta United in Colorado? 1502 01:24:52.119 --> 01:24:54.640 It was great for except like forty five minutes of 1503 01:24:54.640 --> 01:24:58.520 my night exactly forty five minutes, yep, And that was 1504 01:24:58.560 --> 01:24:59.960 the second forty five minutes of the game. 1505 01:25:00.239 --> 01:25:00.439 Right. 1506 01:25:01.640 --> 01:25:05.439 Everything else fine, good time, first half, honestly, not that 1507 01:25:05.880 --> 01:25:12.920 weird first goal. Then you get Alexi Monanschruk just dragging 1508 01:25:13.000 --> 01:25:18.560 this team not to success because they're not successful, dragging 1509 01:25:18.600 --> 01:25:21.359 them to not the wooden spoon. How about that? 1510 01:25:21.680 --> 01:25:21.880 Yeah? 1511 01:25:22.039 --> 01:25:27.800 Right now, that's what Alexa is kind of doing he's 1512 01:25:27.880 --> 01:25:31.000 kind of dragging you to not the wooden spoon. God 1513 01:25:31.079 --> 01:25:38.239 bless him for it. He's been outstanding. Then the second 1514 01:25:38.239 --> 01:25:40.880 forty five minutes, at that part, I didn't enjoy it all. No, 1515 01:25:41.039 --> 01:25:46.800 but at all miserable. Yeah, no, that was that was 1516 01:25:47.279 --> 01:25:50.279 Otherwise it was fine. I'm never making that drive again 1517 01:25:50.319 --> 01:25:53.800 if I can help it. Well, okay, so when you 1518 01:25:53.800 --> 01:25:56.600 make this drive, what you do is you go from 1519 01:25:56.800 --> 01:25:59.920 my neck of the woods now is down fifteen, which 1520 01:26:00.039 --> 01:26:02.960 runs out of Salt Lake fifteen. Eventually we'll run into 1521 01:26:03.960 --> 01:26:07.279 Las Vegas, kind of cut southwest out of Vegas, and 1522 01:26:07.279 --> 01:26:09.720 fifteen will run all the way to Anaheim. Actually wow, 1523 01:26:12.199 --> 01:26:16.000 but you take fifteen down to Provo jump off Highway sixty. 1524 01:26:16.079 --> 01:26:20.560 Highway sixty is just cutting through the mountains and canyons, 1525 01:26:21.800 --> 01:26:26.760 up and down, up and down, and then eventually past 1526 01:26:26.920 --> 01:26:30.680 like Cloudlands and Arches National Park, all that jazz. It 1527 01:26:30.720 --> 01:26:37.039 comes out on seventy seventy. Also, fun fact I seventy 1528 01:26:37.119 --> 01:26:43.399 as you're crossing from Arches into Colorado over to like 1529 01:26:44.520 --> 01:26:48.039 over to junction is there's about a sixty mile stretch 1530 01:26:48.319 --> 01:26:53.760 where there ain't jack squat And I'm oh, no, no, no, 1531 01:26:53.880 --> 01:26:57.199 And it's not that there's nothing. There's signs telling you, hey, 1532 01:26:57.359 --> 01:27:01.439 there's no gas station, there's no food, sixty miles, top 1533 01:27:01.479 --> 01:27:05.560 off your tank, stop and get a giant drink, do 1534 01:27:05.720 --> 01:27:09.880 something for yourself because for sixty miles there are no services. 1535 01:27:10.119 --> 01:27:14.159 Wo yeah, So go past Grand Junction and then the 1536 01:27:14.199 --> 01:27:16.680 problem is it's just a slog past Grand Junction to 1537 01:27:16.720 --> 01:27:18.800 Denver because you just threw mountains the whole time. So 1538 01:27:18.920 --> 01:27:22.960 like construction, a couple of rainstorms popping up, that sort 1539 01:27:23.000 --> 01:27:27.560 of thing. Yeah, the drive itself was long. It was 1540 01:27:27.640 --> 01:27:30.960 like eight hours. Like you know, again, it's just brutal 1541 01:27:31.119 --> 01:27:34.680 because you're just it's not like a fluid eight hours. 1542 01:27:35.239 --> 01:27:38.000 It's a I have to focus so this tractor trailer 1543 01:27:38.039 --> 01:27:41.479 doesn't run me over or someone doesn't come down the 1544 01:27:41.520 --> 01:27:43.960 mountain at ninety miles an hour and sit in my 1545 01:27:44.000 --> 01:27:47.720 back seat. Oh, that was just that. That part was stressful. 1546 01:27:48.159 --> 01:27:50.720 Wrest of them was fine. The game was not. Again. 1547 01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:59.199 First forty five fine, yeah, not great, not terrible is fine? Yeah, 1548 01:27:59.439 --> 01:28:02.319 second forty terrible. 1549 01:28:04.800 --> 01:28:07.680 Yeah, man, well but I mean and so, but first. 1550 01:28:07.600 --> 01:28:08.640 Just went for the end of the season. 1551 01:28:08.640 --> 01:28:11.560 Brother, Oh, I know, but and uh we were kind 1552 01:28:11.560 --> 01:28:14.600 of getting into that discussion about playing the kids, and 1553 01:28:15.399 --> 01:28:17.640 you know that that kind of a thing when it 1554 01:28:17.680 --> 01:28:21.159 comes to trying to find out what this roster can 1555 01:28:21.279 --> 01:28:25.079 do this season, yeah, leading into next year. So what 1556 01:28:25.079 --> 01:28:28.000 what your what your options are or slash should be. 1557 01:28:29.399 --> 01:28:32.680 You know, when you look at that second forty five, 1558 01:28:34.000 --> 01:28:36.880 how much of it do we start with? The idea 1559 01:28:37.319 --> 01:28:40.680 that is the the boogeyman in the room where you 1560 01:28:40.800 --> 01:28:44.600 usually hit the sixtieth minute and as you mentioned leading 1561 01:28:44.640 --> 01:28:48.960 into this match, the the the oxygen kind of just 1562 01:28:49.039 --> 01:28:51.000 kind of takes a holiday from you if you're not 1563 01:28:51.159 --> 01:28:52.720 used to it. 1564 01:28:52.760 --> 01:28:55.239 The thing is, it's about that moment. It was like 1565 01:28:55.239 --> 01:28:57.119 the sixty first minute when the penalty happened, because I 1566 01:28:57.119 --> 01:28:59.279 remember looking at the clock. We got through sixty without 1567 01:28:59.319 --> 01:29:05.920 a whistle. Shit, that's kind of what my thought process was. 1568 01:29:05.960 --> 01:29:08.560 I looked at the clock, it's like sixty one minutes, 1569 01:29:08.600 --> 01:29:10.159 sixty two minutes, Like, oh, look at that, you got 1570 01:29:10.159 --> 01:29:13.199 through the sixties. Then the whistle happened. I'm like, great, perfect, 1571 01:29:13.359 --> 01:29:16.720 that's that's art, right, that's art right there. That is 1572 01:29:16.960 --> 01:29:19.560 that is timing and comedy is about timing. 1573 01:29:20.039 --> 01:29:21.720 Yeah, but. 1574 01:29:23.720 --> 01:29:26.079 Man, it wasn't even the oxygen stuff for me, and 1575 01:29:26.239 --> 01:29:29.039 and Ronald Hernandez dismissed it after the game, said, look, 1576 01:29:29.039 --> 01:29:35.439 we're not playing in Bolivia. Play look, man, spend ten 1577 01:29:35.439 --> 01:29:40.960 minutes with Ronald Hernandez and you'll enjoy those ten minutes 1578 01:29:41.119 --> 01:29:45.479 because he's gonna be He's relaxed, but he's also really 1579 01:29:45.560 --> 01:29:47.680 damn honest about it all, Like he did not pull 1580 01:29:47.680 --> 01:29:50.359 any punches, you know, as he mentioned you, it's like 1581 01:29:50.880 --> 01:29:53.399 it feels like last few games, we've been playing better 1582 01:29:53.520 --> 01:29:58.239 in the first half, like getting better performances, and then 1583 01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:03.399 everything just falls apart again. And he was you can 1584 01:30:03.439 --> 01:30:04.600 hear it in his tone, you can hear it in 1585 01:30:04.640 --> 01:30:06.760 the way, and you see it in his body language, 1586 01:30:06.760 --> 01:30:09.239 like he's pissed about he's miserable about it. Now he's 1587 01:30:09.279 --> 01:30:13.319 getting consistent starts. He seems to have unlocked some sort 1588 01:30:13.399 --> 01:30:18.239 of positional discipline in Miles and Miles Keenus Christ in 1589 01:30:18.319 --> 01:30:22.439 Miguel i'marn Miles Robinson sign extension. That's why, Yeah, Miles 1590 01:30:22.520 --> 01:30:25.920 is staying in Cincinnati. But he seems to have ignited 1591 01:30:25.960 --> 01:30:28.640 some sort of positional discipline in Miguel Amorn, even if 1592 01:30:28.640 --> 01:30:35.840 that doesn't involve actually getting back and defending consistently. But yeah, man, 1593 01:30:35.880 --> 01:30:44.000 it's just it's just so it's just so deflating and 1594 01:30:44.159 --> 01:30:47.359 debilitating to watch him going into the second half like that, 1595 01:30:47.479 --> 01:30:49.680 you got through that little stretch. Yeah, you're gonna hit 1596 01:30:49.680 --> 01:30:51.439 a point where, like, guys, you can start getting tired, 1597 01:30:51.800 --> 01:30:54.359 you gonna start feeling winded. Every team does it up there, 1598 01:30:54.399 --> 01:30:57.399 like you go watch, go look at the score lines 1599 01:30:57.439 --> 01:30:59.319 of so many teams. The one that comes to mind 1600 01:30:59.359 --> 01:31:03.159 is Charlotte or this year, Charlotte was bossing Colorado around, 1601 01:31:03.319 --> 01:31:06.079 Like the sixty third, sixty fourth minute, it flipped on 1602 01:31:06.119 --> 01:31:09.319 its head. Colorado scored two goals in ten minutes to one. 1603 01:31:10.479 --> 01:31:12.600 It just like you could just see it. Guys were 1604 01:31:12.640 --> 01:31:15.800 just like sucking air, doing everything they could and just 1605 01:31:15.840 --> 01:31:18.720 like again, it's kind of like the way Jeff lo 1606 01:31:18.720 --> 01:31:20.479 Renoo's at once described it was, it's kind of like 1607 01:31:20.520 --> 01:31:22.199 you're taking that deep breath and it's like you're not 1608 01:31:22.399 --> 01:31:26.359 getting a full breath in, so you're just not replenishing. 1609 01:31:26.960 --> 01:31:30.479 It's just tough. But that doesn't excuse, like, all of 1610 01:31:30.479 --> 01:31:36.239 that doesn't excuse a bad decision to step in to 1611 01:31:36.319 --> 01:31:40.039 create a penalty, and it sure as shit does not 1612 01:31:40.199 --> 01:31:45.000 excuse you. You look like you committed a penalty at 1613 01:31:45.039 --> 01:31:46.800 the top of the at the top of the box 1614 01:31:47.560 --> 01:31:50.279 on the third goal. Yeah, and everyone just stopped playing. 1615 01:31:50.760 --> 01:31:53.279 Yeah, I think that was You're not the official. 1616 01:31:54.159 --> 01:31:58.479 You're not the official. You don't have a whistle. You 1617 01:31:58.560 --> 01:32:03.720 don't make that decision. Yes, you think you created, you 1618 01:32:03.760 --> 01:32:05.600 think you committed a penalty, and you're waiting for him 1619 01:32:05.640 --> 01:32:10.119 to call it. Play through, kick that ball out and 1620 01:32:10.199 --> 01:32:14.079 kill a prairie dog with it out of the stadium. Get 1621 01:32:14.119 --> 01:32:16.840 it out. Don't worry if he calls a penalty. He 1622 01:32:16.840 --> 01:32:20.119 calls a penalty. That's not your job as a player. 1623 01:32:20.680 --> 01:32:23.119 Your job is to play to the whistle, and it's 1624 01:32:23.159 --> 01:32:27.800 the cases like Wilfred Zaha played through the whistle. But 1625 01:32:29.479 --> 01:32:32.399 I yeah, man, that was like the fact that everyone 1626 01:32:32.439 --> 01:32:34.239 just stopped, and some of the Colorado players did too. 1627 01:32:34.239 --> 01:32:35.880 I think they were all kind of like, that's a penalty, right, 1628 01:32:38.159 --> 01:32:42.159 except the striker did not stop and correctly kept shooting, 1629 01:32:43.359 --> 01:32:45.840 which is the right decision of that situation, like you 1630 01:32:45.920 --> 01:32:48.640 did in your whistle. Keep going yep. 1631 01:32:50.000 --> 01:32:53.399 Yeah, I'm sitting here looking at it again and it 1632 01:32:53.439 --> 01:32:57.319 is obviously and it's the slightest bump just inside the 1633 01:32:57.319 --> 01:33:02.720 top of the eighteen, and you literally have players slow down, stop, 1634 01:33:02.840 --> 01:33:07.000 what have you so contact? You got two players flat 1635 01:33:07.000 --> 01:33:12.359 footed and looking and the players are trying to sit 1636 01:33:12.399 --> 01:33:14.800 there and look at and point at other events in 1637 01:33:14.840 --> 01:33:17.600 and around that particular play, saying that something should have 1638 01:33:17.640 --> 01:33:22.279 happened on call should have been called on Colorado. But 1639 01:33:22.399 --> 01:33:26.359 you had players who were stopping, and you can't stop Cardon. 1640 01:33:26.479 --> 01:33:29.000 You don't hear a whistle, You keep going. If you 1641 01:33:29.119 --> 01:33:33.079 truck that guy, even if you know it's a ah man, 1642 01:33:33.199 --> 01:33:36.439 I just committed a blaytant penalty. Have you met pro 1643 01:33:36.600 --> 01:33:40.000 before pro does another ask from a hole in deep 1644 01:33:40.000 --> 01:33:44.479 center field? There are plenty of times where PRO will 1645 01:33:44.520 --> 01:33:46.880 not call a blatant foul. 1646 01:33:47.239 --> 01:33:48.560 Yep, they have you. 1647 01:33:48.960 --> 01:33:52.479 Atlanta themselves have gotten screwed over this over the years. 1648 01:33:52.600 --> 01:33:56.199 They have benefited from it over the years of bad calls, 1649 01:33:56.279 --> 01:33:59.600 like everyone in this league has been helped and hindered 1650 01:33:59.760 --> 01:34:05.319 by inexplainable decisions by the people with the whistles. So 1651 01:34:06.159 --> 01:34:08.720 you knocked him over, great, get the ball out. If 1652 01:34:08.720 --> 01:34:12.319 he blows the whistle, he blows the whistle. If he doesn't, didn't, congratulations, 1653 01:34:12.359 --> 01:34:15.279 You just avoided a problem. But when you stop playing. 1654 01:34:17.119 --> 01:34:18.439 What am I supposed to do with that? 1655 01:34:19.319 --> 01:34:21.359 Yeah? Yeah? 1656 01:34:21.439 --> 01:34:26.159 In today it's point like yeah like it it. Watching 1657 01:34:26.239 --> 01:34:31.239 them at times is kind of like watching somebody play 1658 01:34:31.279 --> 01:34:33.279 Guitar Hero. They way the same thing back in the 1659 01:34:33.359 --> 01:34:38.279 day with Eric Remetti at times, and Remetti obviously wasn't 1660 01:34:38.319 --> 01:34:41.119 as it wasn't as extreme, but when he was playing 1661 01:34:41.119 --> 01:34:43.439 in like twenty twenty, he kind of did this sometimes 1662 01:34:43.720 --> 01:34:45.840 as long when things were in a groove and they 1663 01:34:45.880 --> 01:34:48.479 were going well, he was fine. It was like one 1664 01:34:48.520 --> 01:34:51.359 mistake compounded to others. And that's what this team is 1665 01:34:51.439 --> 01:34:54.399 right now. Like there, it's like watching someone play Guitar 1666 01:34:54.479 --> 01:34:56.720 Hero for those of you that grew up playing it, 1667 01:34:57.399 --> 01:34:59.439 and they're in a groove, they're doing one hundred percent, 1668 01:34:59.520 --> 01:35:03.479 everything's right. They missed one note and everything just goes 1669 01:35:03.520 --> 01:35:07.800 to pieces and it just leads to more problems and 1670 01:35:07.840 --> 01:35:12.079 it leads to more mistakes, and it's mental toughness. And 1671 01:35:14.600 --> 01:35:17.760 you look, you have already cleared three or four guys out, 1672 01:35:17.800 --> 01:35:20.399 you've changed out a couple the high I really like 1673 01:35:20.520 --> 01:35:24.640 so far as seems like he might kill someone on 1674 01:35:24.680 --> 01:35:28.359 the field, but also he's technical. I like him a lot. 1675 01:35:29.079 --> 01:35:33.680 I like what we've seen from him, Barral call I 1676 01:35:33.960 --> 01:35:35.680 jury's out. That was a it was a bad game 1677 01:35:35.720 --> 01:35:38.000 for him. Yeah, I looked. 1678 01:35:38.399 --> 01:35:42.119 I looked at the penalty that the foul that created 1679 01:35:42.119 --> 01:35:45.920 the Navajo penalty attempted to one and it was slight. 1680 01:35:47.119 --> 01:35:49.640 It was a slight call because. 1681 01:35:50.600 --> 01:35:53.359 It was it was a to me, uh and Abby, 1682 01:35:53.600 --> 01:35:56.800 we're not mathematically out yet, but you're you're you're not 1683 01:35:56.920 --> 01:35:58.880 mathematically out in the way that the brains are not 1684 01:35:58.920 --> 01:35:59.680 mathematically out. 1685 01:36:00.119 --> 01:36:02.199 Yeah, I mean right now, no one is, no one 1686 01:36:02.279 --> 01:36:05.520 is mathematically eliminated from from the postseason. 1687 01:36:05.640 --> 01:36:10.319 Yet, You're not mathematically there. But for all intents and purposes, 1688 01:36:10.720 --> 01:36:13.000 you're not going to the postseason. I mean you would 1689 01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:17.039 have to win out and get help. Yeah, like lots 1690 01:36:17.039 --> 01:36:23.039 of help. Yeah. So yeah, you're not mathematically out, but 1691 01:36:23.920 --> 01:36:29.560 you're you're you're done so, which which leads to my 1692 01:36:29.560 --> 01:36:32.800 my play the Kids Mo Teeth continuing, which Will Riley 1693 01:36:32.840 --> 01:36:34.920 was fine in the night, Like Bro Will Riley a 1694 01:36:34.960 --> 01:36:38.119 lot would be very interested in starting Luke if he 1695 01:36:38.119 --> 01:36:41.000 can go ninety, don't know what how, how how Luke 1696 01:36:41.079 --> 01:36:44.159 is feeling about going ninety, if he's willing to go, 1697 01:36:44.239 --> 01:36:46.399 if he's if he's physically able to give you seventy 1698 01:36:46.439 --> 01:36:50.920 to ninety start Luke, because Luke is the winger that 1699 01:36:50.960 --> 01:36:55.239 you need. Maybe not in terms of like, yeah, you'd 1700 01:36:55.239 --> 01:36:57.439 love to go in a perfect world, you'd love to 1701 01:36:57.560 --> 01:36:59.760 like put a bunch of this roster and an air 1702 01:36:59.800 --> 01:37:03.439 lock and then go get like some impact, monstrous left winger. 1703 01:37:04.199 --> 01:37:07.000 But the mentality and the performance you're getting from Loop 1704 01:37:07.039 --> 01:37:10.880 is what you need right now. But yeah, the foul 1705 01:37:11.000 --> 01:37:13.800 that leads to the penalty, to me, it was just 1706 01:37:14.239 --> 01:37:16.520 it's lazy. Like it's kind of like we talk on 1707 01:37:16.600 --> 01:37:19.520 basketball about when you know when you're defending, you got 1708 01:37:19.520 --> 01:37:23.039 to move your feet. You can't just reach it. And 1709 01:37:23.079 --> 01:37:26.239 it kind of felt like on that penalty he got 1710 01:37:26.279 --> 01:37:30.560 caught reaching. You stick that foot out there and leave 1711 01:37:30.600 --> 01:37:33.520 it for a half second. Any attack or worth their 1712 01:37:33.560 --> 01:37:38.159 salt is either going to just like jump over it 1713 01:37:38.479 --> 01:37:41.760 and leave you standing there, or if you're clumsy about it, 1714 01:37:42.439 --> 01:37:44.119 they're gonna hit their leg on it and go down. 1715 01:37:44.159 --> 01:37:46.239 And that's contact. That's a penalty. You can call it 1716 01:37:46.279 --> 01:37:48.720 soft all day long, it's contact. You left your foot 1717 01:37:48.720 --> 01:37:53.239 out there, and it's when you're coming into the game. 1718 01:37:53.840 --> 01:37:56.680 I can't have you defending in that moment. Like that, Like, 1719 01:37:56.920 --> 01:38:02.079 just defending isn't always about winning the ball off of him. Yeah, 1720 01:38:02.159 --> 01:38:04.000 it's great if you can take the ball off with 1721 01:38:04.039 --> 01:38:06.680 the attacker. Great if you can trigger something going the 1722 01:38:06.720 --> 01:38:09.960 other way. But if you can hold him up until 1723 01:38:10.000 --> 01:38:13.279 reinforcements arrive, if you can force him onto his bad 1724 01:38:13.319 --> 01:38:15.439 foot down to the end line where he has nothing 1725 01:38:15.680 --> 01:38:17.960 except a blind cross or has to play it back, 1726 01:38:18.279 --> 01:38:20.680 that's successful defending too. You don't have to stick in 1727 01:38:20.720 --> 01:38:25.520 there and take that risk all the time. I don't 1728 01:38:25.560 --> 01:38:27.039 have the math in front of me of you. I don't. 1729 01:38:27.079 --> 01:38:33.600 I don't. Yeah, I don't. I don't have the I 1730 01:38:33.600 --> 01:38:35.399 don't have the math on how much it. 1731 01:38:37.560 --> 01:38:37.640 On? 1732 01:38:37.720 --> 01:38:39.680 How much you know? How much help do you need? Yeah, 1733 01:38:39.760 --> 01:38:42.359 Luke's got ninety for the twos. It's a different animal though, 1734 01:38:43.760 --> 01:38:47.560 like it lay like MLS next Pro and MLS are 1735 01:38:48.840 --> 01:38:53.159 they're they're two wildly different animals. Asked way too many 1736 01:38:53.159 --> 01:38:57.760 of those kids, uh to the point of exhaustion asking 1737 01:38:57.760 --> 01:38:59.840 them about you know, hey, how you know how you feeling? 1738 01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:04.760 Playing even forty five minutes at MLS will take more 1739 01:39:04.800 --> 01:39:07.159 out of them than playing ninety at MLSX pro. And 1740 01:39:07.199 --> 01:39:09.640 it's not a knock on next pro. But MLS is 1741 01:39:09.680 --> 01:39:14.680 a step up in terms of intensity, physicality, speed, the 1742 01:39:14.760 --> 01:39:16.920 time you have on the ball, the movement you have 1743 01:39:16.960 --> 01:39:19.560 to make off the ball, the way you're getting jostled around. 1744 01:39:19.920 --> 01:39:24.800 It's just a different animal. Then that's that's just unfortunately 1745 01:39:24.880 --> 01:39:26.960 the nature of it. Louke will get there if he can. 1746 01:39:27.000 --> 01:39:28.960 But if he can give me ninety, by all means, 1747 01:39:29.079 --> 01:39:29.520 go for it. 1748 01:39:29.600 --> 01:39:29.800 Son. 1749 01:39:31.359 --> 01:39:33.439 The ninety and the twos is just different from ninety 1750 01:39:33.479 --> 01:39:35.520 in the first team, just in the physicality and the 1751 01:39:35.920 --> 01:39:39.760 beating you take, and also the mental focus you have 1752 01:39:39.840 --> 01:39:45.640 to have the entire time. Yep, right now, if he 1753 01:39:45.640 --> 01:39:48.199 can give me fifty five or sixty, yes, I would 1754 01:39:48.199 --> 01:39:50.560 do it. Yeah. If he can give me fifty five 1755 01:39:50.600 --> 01:39:53.199 or sixty, yeah, I'm certain. Look because what he's given me, 1756 01:39:54.279 --> 01:39:56.600 somebody's got to do something in the attack because right now, 1757 01:39:56.640 --> 01:39:58.640 the forty million dollars two spent on guys is not 1758 01:39:59.520 --> 01:40:04.800 like say, is like dragging your attack forward, creating space 1759 01:40:05.119 --> 01:40:09.680 and then repeatedly just basically taking target practice on beautiful 1760 01:40:09.720 --> 01:40:14.079 goals the last month. And God bless Alexay because where 1761 01:40:14.079 --> 01:40:18.840 would you be without him doing that? Very easily could 1762 01:40:18.880 --> 01:40:20.720 have had a couple of secondary assists the other night, 1763 01:40:20.800 --> 01:40:22.520 like he played a couple of balls that were just 1764 01:40:23.039 --> 01:40:24.520 down right filthy. 1765 01:40:24.720 --> 01:40:27.159 And then you had the guy either the light shot 1766 01:40:27.159 --> 01:40:30.800 off the bar too yeah. 1767 01:40:30.960 --> 01:40:34.800 Like he or he's playing guys into a dangerous spot 1768 01:40:34.880 --> 01:40:39.800 and either you're getting the hilarious uh block of an 1769 01:40:39.800 --> 01:40:42.079 own goal, which actually I believe it was Mananchok who 1770 01:40:42.079 --> 01:40:44.119 blocked it, but he and that one's weird because he 1771 01:40:44.199 --> 01:40:48.199 and he and Tristan are like both making that run 1772 01:40:48.520 --> 01:40:52.239 to be there, and it's just it's just like peak 1773 01:40:53.319 --> 01:40:56.359 for you where it's like no one's trying to do 1774 01:40:56.479 --> 01:41:00.960 everyone's trying to do the right thing at the same time. Also, 1775 01:41:01.000 --> 01:41:05.640 finally someone made a back post run, God forbid, and 1776 01:41:06.720 --> 01:41:10.119 it's just he He had a couple more where it's 1777 01:41:10.159 --> 01:41:12.720 like he'll play a guy into space and then all 1778 01:41:12.760 --> 01:41:15.359 it takes is one good ball at a finish, and 1779 01:41:15.399 --> 01:41:20.680 the one good ball isn't there. But otherwise you know 1780 01:41:20.720 --> 01:41:24.479 your your striker looks like his confidence is shot and 1781 01:41:24.520 --> 01:41:31.239 he is just lashing at everything or not showing that 1782 01:41:31.319 --> 01:41:38.359 killer instinct. Right winger is dribbled into as much trouble 1783 01:41:38.359 --> 01:41:42.279 as he's dribbled out of where and right now it's 1784 01:41:42.920 --> 01:41:46.000 Luke when he comes on, it's a truck when he's 1785 01:41:46.000 --> 01:41:50.000 on the field, and Barto slish trying to make things 1786 01:41:50.000 --> 01:41:52.439 happen in the midfield like the other night in Colorado, 1787 01:41:52.560 --> 01:41:54.960 Like at one point in the first half, he splits 1788 01:41:54.960 --> 01:41:57.600 a double team, dribbles past another guy and just starts 1789 01:41:57.680 --> 01:42:01.000 charging into the attack. And then I've said before John, 1790 01:42:01.000 --> 01:42:03.840 the thing that fascinates me about this team, the bravery 1791 01:42:03.880 --> 01:42:05.800 they'll show and build up play, doesn't exist in the 1792 01:42:05.800 --> 01:42:09.840 final third. I don't know why. It also pisses off 1793 01:42:09.880 --> 01:42:11.319 Rodnie Dial what I know, and if you ask him 1794 01:42:11.319 --> 01:42:14.399 about it, you can see his face just like start 1795 01:42:14.520 --> 01:42:21.560 seething because he wants them to be more brave in 1796 01:42:21.600 --> 01:42:24.640 the final third, like play that kind of risky ball 1797 01:42:24.680 --> 01:42:26.840 over the top, you know, take somebody on one v one, 1798 01:42:27.199 --> 01:42:28.199 and it's just like they don't. 1799 01:42:28.600 --> 01:42:35.039 And I don't know, man, Yeah, I mean it's a 1800 01:42:35.119 --> 01:42:39.960 lot of a lot of universal questions and frustrations basically. 1801 01:42:40.279 --> 01:42:45.399 So yeah, it was just a disappointing night, oh no doubt. 1802 01:42:46.640 --> 01:42:49.520 Right now, at Lanty United, eight matches to go and 1803 01:42:49.600 --> 01:42:53.279 at twenty two points if they max out, that's eight 1804 01:42:53.319 --> 01:42:55.399 and three is twenty four to forty six points is 1805 01:42:55.439 --> 01:43:00.399 the max for Atlanti United right now and Chicago is. 1806 01:43:00.359 --> 01:43:04.279 It thirty nine. So there is. 1807 01:43:06.439 --> 01:43:08.840 And if you win all of if you win the 1808 01:43:08.880 --> 01:43:11.000 rest of your games, you're at twelve wins on the season, 1809 01:43:11.479 --> 01:43:15.199 and so that would put you ahead of Chicago and that. 1810 01:43:15.239 --> 01:43:18.680 But like I said, literally there's seven points. There's seven 1811 01:43:18.720 --> 01:43:22.079 points of wiggle room if you win all your matches 1812 01:43:22.439 --> 01:43:24.359 and you get all the help. Considering that there are 1813 01:43:24.399 --> 01:43:26.640 three teams above you and one of them is at 1814 01:43:26.680 --> 01:43:28.079 thirty nine points and that's Red Bull. 1815 01:43:28.840 --> 01:43:30.840 So that's what you're that's what you're. 1816 01:43:30.720 --> 01:43:34.720 Staring at when it comes to Atlanta United and the 1817 01:43:34.760 --> 01:43:37.920 stretch run with these eight to go and it starts 1818 01:43:38.039 --> 01:43:41.680 with starts with Toronto on the weekend. 1819 01:43:42.199 --> 01:43:44.520 So that's uh, kids, show me something, and this is 1820 01:43:45.239 --> 01:43:47.520 this is an audition, man, Like to your point, this 1821 01:43:47.600 --> 01:43:50.880 is last eight games. These are auditions for people. Show 1822 01:43:51.000 --> 01:43:58.399 me you have something to contribute here, because hey, it's 1823 01:43:58.399 --> 01:44:02.720 a lost here, and it's every year in every sport, 1824 01:44:02.800 --> 01:44:07.520 you're gonna have in every season, you're gonna have that 1825 01:44:07.680 --> 01:44:13.239 one team who had super high preseason expectations and then 1826 01:44:13.359 --> 01:44:16.600 they just fell on their face into a bucket full 1827 01:44:16.640 --> 01:44:20.239 of Piranhas and that was Atlanta this year, like no 1828 01:44:20.399 --> 01:44:24.840 bones about it. They had high expectations and they flopped. 1829 01:44:25.279 --> 01:44:30.960 M it happens. What matters now is that you can't 1830 01:44:31.000 --> 01:44:35.439 do anything about that. You can't really do anything about it. 1831 01:44:36.479 --> 01:44:39.159 You just have to figure out who you're taking to 1832 01:44:39.239 --> 01:44:42.880 the dance next year. Like for me, that's what matters. 1833 01:44:43.600 --> 01:44:49.399 I want to see which Academy guys, like obviously Jay, 1834 01:44:51.159 --> 01:44:53.439 when Jay's healthy again, which I don't know what his 1835 01:44:53.640 --> 01:44:58.039 timeline is. Will has shown you something, Luke has shown 1836 01:44:58.079 --> 01:45:02.880 you something. Cooper sand As feels like it's real close, 1837 01:45:02.920 --> 01:45:04.600 and I would love to see Cooper get some time 1838 01:45:04.600 --> 01:45:06.239 with the first team, even though that midfield's gonna be 1839 01:45:06.479 --> 01:45:11.079 kind of crowded. Yeah, but at this point, like you 1840 01:45:11.079 --> 01:45:13.840 can get pissy about it and you can mope and 1841 01:45:13.840 --> 01:45:17.039 about it, and that's certainly fine because of what you 1842 01:45:17.159 --> 01:45:20.520 expected versus what you've got. But the guys in the 1843 01:45:20.600 --> 01:45:23.159 room have to look at it and go, that sucks. 1844 01:45:23.800 --> 01:45:26.119 But we have eight games left to figure out who 1845 01:45:26.199 --> 01:45:30.680 belongs here when we rebuild this, because you're going to 1846 01:45:30.960 --> 01:45:34.159 You're going to spend some money in the off season somewhere, right, 1847 01:45:34.800 --> 01:45:38.119 However you do it, I don't know what that looks like. 1848 01:45:38.760 --> 01:45:43.399 You're gonna spend some money somewhere, but you have they 1849 01:45:43.439 --> 01:45:45.600 have to figure out who's going to be a part 1850 01:45:45.640 --> 01:45:48.039 of that going forward. And they've moved a bunch of 1851 01:45:48.039 --> 01:45:51.439 guys out already, might be more. We've we've gone over 1852 01:45:51.720 --> 01:45:56.920 the pending free agents and options you have coming up, like, 1853 01:45:57.840 --> 01:46:02.600 you got decisions to make, and guys have decisions to 1854 01:46:02.760 --> 01:46:09.560 make as players about how seriously they want to be 1855 01:46:09.600 --> 01:46:12.920 a part of this project. And they got to show something. 1856 01:46:12.960 --> 01:46:21.079 The staff has to show something. Yeah, man, it's it's 1857 01:46:21.159 --> 01:46:23.560 not any fun for anybody. It's not any fun for 1858 01:46:23.600 --> 01:46:25.640 the fans. It's not any fun. I promise it's not 1859 01:46:25.680 --> 01:46:29.640 fun for the staff. I promise you. Like Chris Henderson's 1860 01:46:29.720 --> 01:46:34.840 like like seething and throwing things, because you know, he 1861 01:46:35.000 --> 01:46:39.640 and Garth came in here with the idea of we've 1862 01:46:39.680 --> 01:46:42.600 done really well with a smaller budget. Now we get 1863 01:46:42.640 --> 01:46:44.640 to shop in the big aisle and we get to 1864 01:46:44.680 --> 01:46:47.520 try and create a monster. And the monster didn't get 1865 01:46:47.600 --> 01:46:52.119 created right. No one's happy about it. No one's enjoying it. 1866 01:46:53.000 --> 01:46:54.520 And they know that their jobs are on the line 1867 01:46:54.560 --> 01:46:57.079 if they don't do the job, which is. I don't know. 1868 01:46:57.079 --> 01:46:58.760 I feel like it's kind of lost sometimes. Like yeah, 1869 01:46:59.079 --> 01:47:01.359 coaching staffs have never happy about her either. They're the 1870 01:47:01.359 --> 01:47:03.079 ones who are going to be losing sleep as well 1871 01:47:03.119 --> 01:47:05.880 about their jobs, just as much as players and just 1872 01:47:05.920 --> 01:47:08.600 as much as higher level staff. So they all got 1873 01:47:08.640 --> 01:47:11.399 to figure it out. And I don't know, I don't 1874 01:47:11.399 --> 01:47:18.079 know what that looks like for them these last eight games. 1875 01:47:18.119 --> 01:47:22.920 For me, it's kids, show me something. Fringe guys showed 1876 01:47:23.000 --> 01:47:24.880 me something. Show me that you belong to be a 1877 01:47:24.880 --> 01:47:28.640 part of this core. And if you don't, then I'm 1878 01:47:28.680 --> 01:47:30.680 going to find other guys who are a part of 1879 01:47:30.680 --> 01:47:33.039 this core. And as I'm about to short time on 1880 01:47:33.079 --> 01:47:37.119 you and give you an Irish goodbye, go shop in 1881 01:47:37.159 --> 01:47:40.640 the league. Go find some deals in the league if 1882 01:47:40.680 --> 01:47:42.279 you can. I don't know who's free agents. I don't 1883 01:47:42.279 --> 01:47:46.399 know who's available, but in this new market, i've interleague transfers. Yeah, 1884 01:47:46.439 --> 01:47:48.199 go shop in the league. Tell me what you find. 1885 01:47:48.720 --> 01:47:54.119 There you go, and so there you go, as Jared 1886 01:47:54.159 --> 01:47:59.079 gives me the Irish goodbye, and I guess there, David 1887 01:47:59.399 --> 01:48:01.439 biggest Tike ways this year, Jay can be in every day. 1888 01:48:01.479 --> 01:48:04.119 Started with Bart Yeah, And like I said, I think 1889 01:48:04.159 --> 01:48:09.439 that the the midfield with Jay and Bart can cause 1890 01:48:09.479 --> 01:48:10.800 some serious problems. 1891 01:48:10.399 --> 01:48:12.359 For everybody in the league. 1892 01:48:12.600 --> 01:48:16.079 And like I said, there there will be continual hostility 1893 01:48:16.119 --> 01:48:19.079 toward Evernard and the Saudi Arabian national team for as 1894 01:48:19.119 --> 01:48:23.439 long as we feel it's justified, because I think that 1895 01:48:23.479 --> 01:48:27.479 the midfield approach could have been a lot different or 1896 01:48:27.520 --> 01:48:31.680 even more solidified with Jay there with Bart, and then 1897 01:48:31.680 --> 01:48:33.800 that's one of the questions that you don't have to 1898 01:48:35.159 --> 01:48:39.079 chase after and trying to figure out, Okay, what your 1899 01:48:39.079 --> 01:48:40.600 depth look like. Who are we going to do to 1900 01:48:40.600 --> 01:48:41.880 plug in? What are we going to do to plug 1901 01:48:41.920 --> 01:48:45.000 in this situation? But no, I think that that Jay's 1902 01:48:45.079 --> 01:48:49.960 injury really did hurt the development of the midfield this year. 1903 01:48:51.000 --> 01:48:53.479 I'm not talking points and wins and losses in anything, 1904 01:48:53.920 --> 01:48:56.279 because I can't, you know, I don't want to lay 1905 01:48:56.319 --> 01:48:56.640 that out. 1906 01:48:56.680 --> 01:49:00.439 But I think that Jay's development. 1907 01:49:01.439 --> 01:49:03.000 Has been to the point to where he and Bart 1908 01:49:03.600 --> 01:49:05.159 I think I think it would be safe to say 1909 01:49:05.199 --> 01:49:07.000 that you could pencil in Jay and Bart as two 1910 01:49:07.039 --> 01:49:10.880 of your three and is uh your two in front 1911 01:49:10.920 --> 01:49:15.039 of the four next year in the midfield? Edwards and 1912 01:49:15.119 --> 01:49:18.239 Ronald good and flexible enough right right back center back, 1913 01:49:19.359 --> 01:49:21.560 and so I don't think that you're gonna have any 1914 01:49:21.640 --> 01:49:26.960 disagreement there about Matt Edwards and Ronald Hernandez and with 1915 01:49:27.119 --> 01:49:32.520 Matt specifically, and it's a it's a point, you know, 1916 01:49:32.760 --> 01:49:35.479 it's a it's a point that we made, and it's 1917 01:49:35.520 --> 01:49:39.000 a point about the the younger guys that we made 1918 01:49:39.159 --> 01:49:46.039 earlier this season when it comes to the uh getting 1919 01:49:46.079 --> 01:49:49.039 in people's faces and defending your teammate, And that has 1920 01:49:49.079 --> 01:49:50.880 been one of the things that has stuck with me 1921 01:49:50.960 --> 01:49:55.640 all season long, still does to this day. Where if 1922 01:49:55.680 --> 01:49:57.760 you have and we saw this from Ronald a couple 1923 01:49:57.760 --> 01:50:01.840 of weeks ago the last home match, Miggy gets knocked down, 1924 01:50:02.520 --> 01:50:08.119 Ronald goes over and Ronald eventually gets a receipt. I 1925 01:50:08.159 --> 01:50:11.000 need to see more of that. We did see it 1926 01:50:11.039 --> 01:50:13.479 with Matt and Jay earlier this year. I think Brad would. 1927 01:50:13.640 --> 01:50:18.039 I think Brad got trucked in a match. And the 1928 01:50:18.079 --> 01:50:21.640 first two guys that went over to get in people's 1929 01:50:21.680 --> 01:50:27.680 faces for the opposition were Matt and j They weren't 1930 01:50:27.680 --> 01:50:29.520 taking it. They didn't they weren't having any of it. 1931 01:50:31.000 --> 01:50:34.239 That to me is one of the things that I 1932 01:50:34.359 --> 01:50:37.199 have been looking for. It's like you know, tell me, 1933 01:50:37.520 --> 01:50:39.399 tell me who's gonna stick up from my for my 1934 01:50:39.479 --> 01:50:46.000 teammate instead of oh he's fouled, Okay, let's move on that. 1935 01:50:46.000 --> 01:50:48.159 That to me is one of my larger sticking points. 1936 01:50:49.640 --> 01:50:51.800 Give me somebody who's going to get in somebody's face 1937 01:50:52.399 --> 01:50:56.199 and push somebody around and say that this is unacceptable. 1938 01:50:57.039 --> 01:50:59.960 Because when somebody tries to have an opening statement like that, 1939 01:51:03.439 --> 01:51:08.479 then I want someone to challenge in return. And so 1940 01:51:08.680 --> 01:51:10.960 it's as you know, literally, something as simple as that's 1941 01:51:11.000 --> 01:51:14.720 not going to happen here. I want people in people's faces. 1942 01:51:15.079 --> 01:51:19.520 I want fingers, I want receipts if you can, if 1943 01:51:19.560 --> 01:51:22.840 you can risk a yellow card, Yes, Derek, X dog, 1944 01:51:22.880 --> 01:51:27.840 absolutely true. It is the X dog discussion, and that's 1945 01:51:27.840 --> 01:51:30.039 what I'm looking for. Give me folks with an ex dog, 1946 01:51:30.079 --> 01:51:31.600 and I know that nine times out of ten that 1947 01:51:31.760 --> 01:51:39.239 X dog's coming from the younger players. Oh and look, Wiley, 1948 01:51:39.279 --> 01:51:44.840 as soon as Parky and LGP and and Big Red 1949 01:51:45.239 --> 01:51:47.119 they retire, I know that you're looking for that next 1950 01:51:47.159 --> 01:51:52.640 guy to have that kind of sandpaper in I want. 1951 01:51:52.720 --> 01:51:57.359 I want players that, in addition to who they are 1952 01:51:58.359 --> 01:52:06.439 tactically mentally physically, I would like players who aren't going 1953 01:52:06.479 --> 01:52:10.159 to take any ish from anybody, especially if you come 1954 01:52:10.199 --> 01:52:13.239 into my barn and you're gonna try and push me around. 1955 01:52:15.039 --> 01:52:16.720 I want folks that are going to come in there 1956 01:52:16.760 --> 01:52:21.479 and go I want that as an unacceptable behavior. You 1957 01:52:21.520 --> 01:52:25.279 think that that's going to happen here, It's not. I 1958 01:52:25.479 --> 01:52:29.840 enjoyed in Montreal, And like I said, I think that 1959 01:52:30.199 --> 01:52:32.800 you're looking at it with alzat the early returns there. 1960 01:52:33.960 --> 01:52:35.960 I think that when I think that you see that 1961 01:52:36.000 --> 01:52:40.760 with Barra call where Barra call basically and Prince of 1962 01:52:40.800 --> 01:52:43.800 Wusu and this goes back to the Montreal game where 1963 01:52:44.039 --> 01:52:46.960 Prince of Wusu is pushing people around and he should 1964 01:52:46.960 --> 01:52:49.960 have gotten a card long before he did and he's 1965 01:52:50.000 --> 01:52:53.600 fallen down and it's just it's making a mockery of 1966 01:52:53.600 --> 01:52:57.199 the whole thing. And then late in the match in 1967 01:52:57.279 --> 01:53:02.079 the second half, he tries to draw a foul off 1968 01:53:02.119 --> 01:53:04.840 of Barra call and basically Prince of Wusu bounced off 1969 01:53:04.840 --> 01:53:08.079 of Barra call. Baracl basically just looked down on him 1970 01:53:08.199 --> 01:53:13.840 and literally and Wusu's you know, writhing in agony on 1971 01:53:13.920 --> 01:53:18.319 the floor at Stadsuputo and Baracl basically after that bounce 1972 01:53:18.359 --> 01:53:19.840 off on a wus Wu's kind of rolling around. Bear 1973 01:53:19.920 --> 01:53:21.680 Call just kind of looks down at him and goes, yeah, whatever, 1974 01:53:24.319 --> 01:53:28.920 that that kind of behavior as a part of your DNA. 1975 01:53:29.039 --> 01:53:31.840 That's something that I have always wanted to see more of. 1976 01:53:34.199 --> 01:53:36.119 Give me that ex dog, give me somebody that's going 1977 01:53:36.159 --> 01:53:38.439 to stand up for a teammate. And like I said, 1978 01:53:38.479 --> 01:53:40.039 I think we see that with the younger guys, and 1979 01:53:40.079 --> 01:53:45.119 I'm waiting for the veterans to assimilate with that idea 1980 01:53:45.199 --> 01:53:47.439 as well. So it's like, hey, you know, and I 1981 01:53:47.439 --> 01:53:49.119 think we've seen it from Alexi a couple of times 1982 01:53:49.159 --> 01:53:51.159 where alexis going to get into scrums and he's not 1983 01:53:51.239 --> 01:53:53.960 going to back down from anybody. But I would just 1984 01:53:54.199 --> 01:53:56.880 like if something happens to a teammate sticking up for 1985 01:53:56.920 --> 01:53:59.680 that teammate, And like I said, that's one of the 1986 01:53:59.720 --> 01:54:03.000 big things for me that I have constantly wanted to 1987 01:54:03.039 --> 01:54:06.720 stare at. Okay, let me take the quick tour and 1988 01:54:07.039 --> 01:54:10.600 then we will let you know. All right, Remember tomorrow 1989 01:54:10.680 --> 01:54:14.560 and Friday, I'm in a hotel room.

According to Bogert, he may start 2083 01:59:05.640 --> 01:59:08.800 with Charlotte's second team Crown Legacy obviously will be in 2084 01:59:08.840 --> 01:59:11.680 the first team plan soon, especially if you're dropping six 2085 01:59:11.880 --> 01:59:15.680 large on an eighteen year old from Benin who is 2086 01:59:15.720 --> 01:59:21.239 playing in Europe. So there's once again that is that's 2087 01:59:21.279 --> 01:59:24.760 your early rundown for some of the moves in MLS. 2088 01:59:24.760 --> 01:59:27.720 Minnesota United submitted a bid to Nice for Algerian international 2089 01:59:27.760 --> 01:59:31.680 winger bilal Brahemi. Luca Bendoni the first to talk about that. One. 2090 01:59:31.960 --> 01:59:34.479 Four caps for Algeria join Nice for a fee reported 2091 01:59:34.479 --> 01:59:36.239 to be seven million and twenty two last year on 2092 01:59:36.319 --> 01:59:40.439 loan with Cint Trudin in Belgium. Timbers officially signed Paraguayan 2093 01:59:40.439 --> 01:59:45.199 international midfield Manti Rojas. They've added Christopher Velda and Felipe Carballo. 2094 01:59:46.000 --> 01:59:50.560 Now they add Manti Rojas as a part of their work. 2095 01:59:50.840 --> 01:59:53.159 Minnesota United submitted a bid north of two million for 2096 01:59:53.199 --> 01:59:58.439 South African international winger Reliboheel Mufful King from Orlando Pirates, 2097 01:59:59.279 --> 02:00:01.840 twenty years old, big talent breaking through for club and country. 2098 02:00:01.880 --> 02:00:04.520 He'd be a U twenty two and Minnesota United at 2099 02:00:04.560 --> 02:00:08.600 a long term Admirers of Muffo King readilbo Heile Muffo King, 2100 02:00:08.760 --> 02:00:13.279 Orlando Pirates possibly to Minnesota United. So I'm trying to 2101 02:00:13.319 --> 02:00:17.399 see if there's anybody else. Cardinals Tehran with the fire 2102 02:00:17.560 --> 02:00:19.800 to Athletico part I insay, and we mentioned the Joel 2103 02:00:19.800 --> 02:00:22.920 Waterman deal as well. Minnesota United once again nearing a 2104 02:00:22.920 --> 02:00:25.159 deal in dominic fits that has not progressed from Austria 2105 02:00:25.279 --> 02:00:28.239 Vienna thirteen and sixteen last year. Already with four and 2106 02:00:28.279 --> 02:00:30.600 five and six hundred minutes. Don't know what his roster 2107 02:00:30.720 --> 02:00:35.119 designation could be now, Ben Jacobs, we'll go through the 2108 02:00:35.279 --> 02:00:38.800 international stuff here and let you know what's going on 2109 02:00:38.960 --> 02:00:45.119 this morning and let's see Alexander Esach hints at the 2110 02:00:45.199 --> 02:00:47.239 lack of a new contract twelve months ago as being 2111 02:00:47.239 --> 02:00:52.840 as keen as desired to leave Newcastle. Statement on Instagram 2112 02:00:53.159 --> 02:00:55.680 is a clear indication he doesn't plan to reintegrate Liverpool, 2113 02:00:55.720 --> 02:00:58.880 prepared to bid again if given encouragement. Understand a one 2114 02:00:59.079 --> 02:01:04.319 twenty remains Liverpool's valuation unlikely. Should a new bid materialize, 2115 02:01:04.319 --> 02:01:06.600 it'll be close to one fifty. Not a number of 2116 02:01:06.600 --> 02:01:10.279 Liverpool have ever been directly quoted, so Esach went on 2117 02:01:11.600 --> 02:01:15.680 his Instagram said that he's been the reason that he 2118 02:01:15.800 --> 02:01:19.439 was not at the CFA or the PFA Awards. Obviously, 2119 02:01:19.520 --> 02:01:21.159 he said it didn't feel right to be there kept 2120 02:01:21.199 --> 02:01:24.199 quite a long time. While others have spoken that silence 2121 02:01:24.239 --> 02:01:26.600 has allowed people to push their own version of events, 2122 02:01:26.600 --> 02:01:28.800 even though they know it doesn't reflect what was really 2123 02:01:28.800 --> 02:01:32.560 said and agreed behind closed doors. The reality is promises 2124 02:01:32.600 --> 02:01:34.560 were made and the club has known my position for 2125 02:01:34.600 --> 02:01:36.359 a long time. To now act as if these issues 2126 02:01:36.399 --> 02:01:40.880 are only emerging as misleading. When promises are broken and 2127 02:01:40.960 --> 02:01:45.520 trust is lost, the relationship can't continue. That's where things 2128 02:01:45.560 --> 02:01:47.079 are for me right now and why change is in 2129 02:01:47.159 --> 02:01:50.119 the best interest of everyone, not just myself, So that 2130 02:01:50.159 --> 02:01:54.359 came from ESAC. That came from ESOC on his social media. 2131 02:01:55.239 --> 02:01:58.439 Newcastle has made a thirty five plus five offer to Brentford. 2132 02:01:58.039 --> 02:01:58.840 For view on Visa. 2133 02:01:59.239 --> 02:02:01.239 Visa said he has made it clear he wants to 2134 02:02:01.239 --> 02:02:03.920 go to Newcastle and wants the move. Alex Crook helping 2135 02:02:03.920 --> 02:02:08.600 out in that Newcastle assessing whether to return. Forty million 2136 02:02:08.680 --> 02:02:12.000 was their third offer and a top valuation given Visa 2137 02:02:12.000 --> 02:02:13.760 has one year left on his deal. Brentford have a 2138 02:02:13.800 --> 02:02:19.399 club option to extend. Let's see thirteen minutes ago the 2139 02:02:19.399 --> 02:02:25.079 bid was rejected. No surprise according to Alex Krook exclusively 2140 02:02:25.159 --> 02:02:27.880 revealed Brentford say they're only going to sell for sixty 2141 02:02:29.279 --> 02:02:31.880 youve have approached Chelsea about signing Charning Chuck Wi Mecca, 2142 02:02:32.079 --> 02:02:34.680 Carneie Chuck Wi Mecca. Chelsea continue to insist on a 2143 02:02:34.720 --> 02:02:40.279 permanent Dortmund have already had multiple offers rejected. Let's see 2144 02:02:40.319 --> 02:02:44.000 Galatasarayan talks with Manchester City over Manuel Kanji. Nothing agreed yet, 2145 02:02:44.000 --> 02:02:46.880 but they are pushing. We mentioned Juve and Chukwa Mecca. 2146 02:02:46.920 --> 02:02:50.359 Douglas Louise set to join Nottingham Forest with Alex Crook 2147 02:02:50.399 --> 02:02:52.399 and ben Jacobs reporting a loan with a twenty five 2148 02:02:52.439 --> 02:02:55.680 million dollar conditional a twenty five million pound conditional obligation 2149 02:02:55.800 --> 02:02:58.159 to pay. Kai Hovertz has picked up a knee injury, 2150 02:02:58.199 --> 02:03:01.239 so verity still being assessed. According to David Hornstein, Arsenal 2151 02:03:01.239 --> 02:03:04.039 now exploring a new attacker in the final days of 2152 02:03:04.079 --> 02:03:08.279 the window, and the deal for Douglas Louise, by the way, 2153 02:03:08.319 --> 02:03:10.760 is driven by ad his agent. Crystal Palace close to 2154 02:03:10.760 --> 02:03:13.680 an agreement with Leicester for Bill al Ilhanus thirty million 2155 02:03:13.680 --> 02:03:17.680 pounds plus package broadly in place. Moroccan attacker wants the move. 2156 02:03:17.760 --> 02:03:20.359 Palace is now deciding whether to proceed or bid for 2157 02:03:20.439 --> 02:03:23.880 Tyler Dibbling. Crystal Soleise is another leading option. Club Bruges 2158 02:03:23.920 --> 02:03:26.039 prefer not to sell as a training is normal until 2159 02:03:26.039 --> 02:03:29.359 Palace inform him a replacement has been found. Porto and 2160 02:03:29.399 --> 02:03:31.720 talks with Arsenal over a loan plus an obligation for 2161 02:03:31.840 --> 02:03:35.359 Yakub Kivior. Deals dependent on Kivior asking to leave, as 2162 02:03:35.479 --> 02:03:39.640 Arsenal are happy to keep the defender. Leon Bailey Roma 2163 02:03:39.680 --> 02:03:42.239 confirmed joined on loan from Aston Villa three million euro 2164 02:03:42.319 --> 02:03:44.680 loan full wage cover. Drama also have a twenty two 2165 02:03:44.760 --> 02:03:51.000 million euro option to buy. Yesterday, Newcastle said they did 2166 02:03:51.000 --> 02:03:53.800 not foresee the conditions of an Esoch sale being met. 2167 02:03:53.800 --> 02:03:57.840 Disappointed by the striker's statement, Newcastle also see Esock could 2168 02:03:57.880 --> 02:04:01.920 still be welcome back. That doesn't look like that's gonna 2169 02:04:02.000 --> 02:04:04.680 end well. And apparently Alejandro Garnaco was holding out for 2170 02:04:04.760 --> 02:04:07.720 Chelsea and no one else. All right, what's to watch? 2171 02:04:07.760 --> 02:04:10.000 Where to watch it? How to watch it? We'll let 2172 02:04:10.039 --> 02:04:13.119 you know what's going on in there. And once again, 2173 02:04:13.199 --> 02:04:18.520 soccer on TV starts today. Handful of women's soccer action 2174 02:04:18.680 --> 02:04:21.079 going on and it is all on the Plus and 2175 02:04:21.119 --> 02:04:24.079 on SEC Network.
