WEBVTT 1 00:00:33.600 --> 00:00:35.320 Welcome to a new week of the Morning show here 2 00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:37.759 at SDH. John here you there, thanks for dropping by. 3 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:41.840 And it's a standard Monday. Yes, it's a Columbus day 4 00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:46.479 for some and for state offices, although it was kind 5 00:00:46.479 --> 00:00:50.359 of weird. And I don't know if it's the same 6 00:00:50.439 --> 00:00:53.159 where you are, but this is probably going to be 7 00:00:53.159 --> 00:00:59.200 somewhat opening kickoffish. But garbage is being picked up today, 8 00:01:00.520 --> 00:01:03.039 and I was trying to figure it out, you know, 9 00:01:03.159 --> 00:01:07.680 here at Office HD Morning, Alex, if it was going 10 00:01:07.760 --> 00:01:11.040 to happen or not, considering it's a state holiday here 11 00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:14.319 in the State of Georgia and some folks are working, 12 00:01:14.439 --> 00:01:18.920 some folks aren't. Things get pushed back, things don't get 13 00:01:18.959 --> 00:01:21.480 pushed back. You kind of forget you need to check 14 00:01:21.640 --> 00:01:23.560 if things need to be pushed back, that kind of 15 00:01:23.560 --> 00:01:27.359 a thing. And so, as it turns out, after checking 16 00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.959 out last night, very late last night, that there was 17 00:01:31.040 --> 00:01:32.879 going to be garbage pickup today, or at least, let's 18 00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:37.280 put it this way on the website that is attached 19 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:43.359 to Office HD's locality, there was no for a double negative. 20 00:01:43.439 --> 00:01:48.959 There was no negative connotation about the garbage pickup. So 21 00:01:49.239 --> 00:01:51.040 all of a sudden, you know, you're running around the house. 22 00:01:51.040 --> 00:01:52.760 It's like, okay, you got to rush to get everything 23 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:56.480 in the curb. Everything's on the curb, and so nothing's 24 00:01:56.519 --> 00:02:00.799 happened yet. So but no, I was going by what 25 00:01:59.799 --> 00:02:05.599 the what the website said, and sure enough, I'm guessing 26 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.560 that there's going to be some kind of garbage pickup today. 27 00:02:08.599 --> 00:02:15.319 But happy Columbus Day, happy and happy banking holiday. And 28 00:02:15.719 --> 00:02:19.280 reminder that this is also a recognition of indigenous persons. 29 00:02:19.520 --> 00:02:24.599 So you know how me specifically and how how I 30 00:02:24.639 --> 00:02:27.560 am when it comes to the indigenous thoughts here in 31 00:02:27.599 --> 00:02:32.080 the in the North America anyway, So happy Monday, Happy, 32 00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:37.400 happy Columbus Day, happy banking holiday, and uh, may we 33 00:02:37.439 --> 00:02:40.400 always remember those that were here long before we were. 34 00:02:40.680 --> 00:02:46.000 So all right, Monday is Monday. You know, it's kind 35 00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:51.400 of what it is traditionally, and morning David. So with 36 00:02:51.520 --> 00:02:56.319 it being what it is, first off, it's opening kickoff time, 37 00:02:56.360 --> 00:02:58.120 brought to us buy our friends at Kickoff Coffee and 38 00:02:58.199 --> 00:03:01.639 Kickoff Coffeeco dot com.

From the weekend kind of lead into 63 00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:10.560 it Land United in the Purple teams. This is getting 64 00:04:10.599 --> 00:04:15.199 into the final, the final final, the final regular season 65 00:04:15.240 --> 00:04:17.240 weekend of Major League Soccer, So we'll get we won't 66 00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:19.800 get into senior superlatives yet for it Land United, but 67 00:04:19.839 --> 00:04:22.079 we'll kind of lean into that a little bit when 68 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.120 it comes to it Landy United, Eastern Conference, Major League Soccer. 69 00:04:25.120 --> 00:04:27.560 Anything else on Abe's mind, then we'll get you through 70 00:04:27.600 --> 00:04:29.199 the news of the morning, and there is a couple 71 00:04:29.199 --> 00:04:34.680 of things, specifically AFCON related that you know, some folks 72 00:04:34.800 --> 00:04:37.360 go to certain lengths to try to win competitions and 73 00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:39.519 this might be next level. But we'll get into AFCON 74 00:04:40.279 --> 00:04:42.759 and we'll get into the other news of the morning. 75 00:04:42.759 --> 00:04:45.160 At ten o'clock, Bart Keeler is going to join us 76 00:04:45.160 --> 00:04:47.759 from the soccer for USPOD. We're going to talk about 77 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:52.160 the men's national team and what happened with the beginning 78 00:04:52.160 --> 00:04:56.279 of the reship Putchattino era, and then after that it's 79 00:04:56.319 --> 00:04:58.959 going to be kind of an elongated reffing down here. 80 00:04:59.279 --> 00:05:02.839 And what I mean by that is this there is 81 00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:07.199 a concern I guess we'll phrase it that way for 82 00:05:07.279 --> 00:05:10.160 the time being. So there's something going on in the 83 00:05:10.199 --> 00:05:15.319 college game and with refereeing, and so technically this will 84 00:05:15.360 --> 00:05:18.959 be an extension of reffing down here at ten thirty, 85 00:05:19.040 --> 00:05:22.240 specifically focusing on the college game. And there was an 86 00:05:22.279 --> 00:05:28.360 incident this weekend that Jason was front and center to 87 00:05:29.399 --> 00:05:32.160 that we're going to discuss and it leads itself to 88 00:05:32.240 --> 00:05:36.600 a larger discussion about warning signs and stuff that needs 89 00:05:36.639 --> 00:05:40.439 to be really adjusted in the college game. So we're 90 00:05:40.439 --> 00:05:43.519 going to get into that at ten thirty after Bart. 91 00:05:44.040 --> 00:05:46.600 So it's going to be Abe News of the Morning, 92 00:05:46.959 --> 00:05:50.439 get you through all of that. Bard at ten extended 93 00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:53.040 reffing down here at ten thirty talking about the college 94 00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.120 game and just kind of if it's something that you 95 00:05:55.720 --> 00:05:59.519 didn't know, we had another incident involving it this weekend, 96 00:05:59.560 --> 00:06:02.079 and so it's an issue that we wanted to kind 97 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:03.959 of put out here this morning just to make you 98 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:07.920 aware of it and kind of maybe put up a 99 00:06:08.040 --> 00:06:10.279 yellow card or a red flag or something whatever your 100 00:06:10.279 --> 00:06:11.759 favorite color is going to be early in the morning, 101 00:06:11.800 --> 00:06:14.680 and we'll talk about that there. So it has to 102 00:06:14.720 --> 00:06:16.680 do with roughing down here in the college game, and 103 00:06:16.680 --> 00:06:18.600 we're going to have that as a longer discussion at 104 00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:20.480 ten thirty because there are a couple of pieces of 105 00:06:20.519 --> 00:06:23.480 tape that need to be played, and they're extended. They're 106 00:06:23.519 --> 00:06:25.839 long versions, but it's worth it. So we'll get into 107 00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:31.000 that discussion at ten thirty. Okay, so kind of opening kickoffee, 108 00:06:31.000 --> 00:06:33.839 there's your QR code once again, opening kickoff QR code 109 00:06:33.879 --> 00:06:36.800 for our friends at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff Coffeeco dot Com. 110 00:06:37.199 --> 00:06:39.439 Hit that QR code.

Youth Initiative is very very cool stuff 113 00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:47.439 for my friends at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff Coffeeco dot Com. Okay, 114 00:06:47.839 --> 00:06:52.399 it's that time we got to Ricky Henderson. Eight gardeners here. 115 00:06:52.319 --> 00:06:52.839 What is up? 116 00:06:53.079 --> 00:06:56.920 You got the you got the high Leo Franco kind 117 00:06:56.920 --> 00:07:00.600 of batting stance going here? You ready to go? Man? 118 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.759 I I used to switch batting stances up year by year. 119 00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:07.120 Uh just I mean sometimes I would go Ryan Klesco 120 00:07:07.199 --> 00:07:09.759 and I'd be wide open. Sometimes I'd close it up 121 00:07:09.759 --> 00:07:13.720 a little more. I kind of was a little bit 122 00:07:13.759 --> 00:07:16.639 like Ricky Henderson. I didn't really use my power a 123 00:07:16.680 --> 00:07:20.959 ton in in Little league and youth ball. But I 124 00:07:21.000 --> 00:07:23.759 mean just know that if I was on first, I 125 00:07:23.839 --> 00:07:26.079 may as well have been on third, like I was going. 126 00:07:26.279 --> 00:07:28.720 I mean, I was taken second, and as soon as 127 00:07:28.759 --> 00:07:30.639 you overthrow the bag, I'm taking third. 128 00:07:30.720 --> 00:07:33.120 So I was aggressive on the basis. 129 00:07:32.959 --> 00:07:39.279 M color me shocked. Nothing like thathing like, yeah, yeah, 130 00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:40.879 I was. I was the same way I was, you know, 131 00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:42.959 lefty batter, and so I would be like I was 132 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:44.720 the third, fourth or fifth in the order, and so 133 00:07:45.839 --> 00:07:48.800 I was the I was the kid that actually had 134 00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:52.480 the foresight. Because I don't know if this ever happened 135 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:54.639 to you, but this is very opening kickoff you by 136 00:07:54.639 --> 00:07:57.439 the way. I don't know if when you were in 137 00:07:57.600 --> 00:08:00.839 Little League, there was always that team that had the 138 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:06.240 overage kids and they like paid the league off so 139 00:08:06.279 --> 00:08:08.720 they could have the overage kids so they could win 140 00:08:08.800 --> 00:08:14.240 the league. And so this was like probably you know, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, 141 00:08:14.240 --> 00:08:17.639 you always had that team that was paying off the league, 142 00:08:17.680 --> 00:08:19.920 and then you'd have like the thirteen fourteen, fifteen year 143 00:08:19.920 --> 00:08:22.720 old kids that were playing in the U twelve and 144 00:08:22.920 --> 00:08:25.800 they tried to win the league. So I was the 145 00:08:25.920 --> 00:08:29.120 kid that would go to the super fast batting cage 146 00:08:29.160 --> 00:08:31.040 knowing that that team was coming up and I was 147 00:08:31.040 --> 00:08:32.840 going to have a fifteen year old throwing at me, 148 00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:35.759 and I would be the only guy on my team 149 00:08:35.799 --> 00:08:38.240 to get a hit or much less contact with the 150 00:08:38.279 --> 00:08:41.519 ball because I'm the super fast batting cage is in preparation. 151 00:08:41.639 --> 00:08:44.120 That's how hard tore I was. When I was in 152 00:08:44.360 --> 00:08:46.240 middle school getting ready to play baseball. 153 00:08:47.039 --> 00:08:52.320 I spent the whole season of Little League just bunting. 154 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.519 What like, like just bunting, what like? 155 00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:57.399 Just bunting? 156 00:08:58.559 --> 00:09:01.159 Yeah, I heard, I'd like, what right. 157 00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:04.240 Down, just boo, right down the third base line. I'd 158 00:09:04.279 --> 00:09:08.440 reach every time. I was incredibly fast. They would never 159 00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:10.600 throw me out. I think I batted like nine to 160 00:09:10.679 --> 00:09:11.759 ninety three that year. 161 00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:12.440 Wow. 162 00:09:13.159 --> 00:09:15.759 And like I said, like, if I'm on first, I'm 163 00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:17.879 I'm I may as well be on third. And so 164 00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.559 I just I would just take first base on a 165 00:09:20.600 --> 00:09:22.720 perfect bunt. I mean I could put it right between 166 00:09:22.720 --> 00:09:24.480 the grass and the foul line. I mean, I was, 167 00:09:24.519 --> 00:09:27.840 I was, I put it right on the path, and uh, 168 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:30.240 even when the third baseman knew it was coming. 169 00:09:30.600 --> 00:09:32.039 Just too good, man, It's too good. 170 00:09:32.559 --> 00:09:33.519 Wow. 171 00:09:34.080 --> 00:09:36.480 So the speed of the pitcher never really was a 172 00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:38.279 problem because I was just bunting one year. 173 00:09:38.320 --> 00:09:39.159 So it's like a. 174 00:09:39.519 --> 00:09:43.279 Wow, that's that is a revelation. I mean I was 175 00:09:43.519 --> 00:09:45.559 I was a guy that would swing and I'd probably 176 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:47.759 hit like three ninety seven or something. I was never 177 00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:49.879 a bunter, but I would always be the first guy 178 00:09:49.919 --> 00:09:53.720 to piss folks off. Man, always button and bat in 179 00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:55.039 nine ninety three, I only did. 180 00:09:55.000 --> 00:09:55.480 It one year. 181 00:09:55.519 --> 00:09:57.159 I only did it one year. The next year, I 182 00:09:57.240 --> 00:09:59.039 let off the first game with like an over the 183 00:09:59.120 --> 00:10:01.480 fence home run, and then everyone's like, why the fuck 184 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:02.600 were you butting last year? 185 00:10:03.000 --> 00:10:03.200 Yeah? 186 00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.799 Man, I got on base, man, what do you want 187 00:10:05.840 --> 00:10:07.000 from me? I got on base? 188 00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:16.480 Oh wow, Oh that's fantastic. All right, so opening kickoff? 189 00:10:16.600 --> 00:10:19.679 Other question, how are you when it comes to Mondays? 190 00:10:20.120 --> 00:10:24.039 Because this morning, I mean I went to bed after 191 00:10:24.080 --> 00:10:27.360 watching that hyper painful American football game last night where 192 00:10:27.399 --> 00:10:29.279 I finally got to see what I need in my 193 00:10:29.360 --> 00:10:33.240 fantasy game tonight to try to get a win, and 194 00:10:33.279 --> 00:10:35.919 then everything was fine. Watched the wrap up show, but 195 00:10:36.039 --> 00:10:38.360 then my body is like up and running at like 196 00:10:38.879 --> 00:10:41.039 five five thirty just for no good reason. It's like 197 00:10:41.080 --> 00:10:43.320 it's up at like one thirty, three thirty and five 198 00:10:43.440 --> 00:10:45.000 thirty and it's ready to go on a Monday. It 199 00:10:45.000 --> 00:10:47.679 doesn't matter how much sleep you do or don't. Get 200 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:49.919 bodies just like, yeah, all right, time to go. 201 00:10:52.120 --> 00:10:53.759 It kind of depends on the day. 202 00:10:54.159 --> 00:10:56.639 Now, yesterday I had a headache all day from a 203 00:10:56.720 --> 00:11:01.440 lack of sleep over the weekend. So like Sunday night, 204 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:05.519 last night, I went to bed pretty early. I took 205 00:11:05.559 --> 00:11:09.440 some bio emblems sleeping or whoever, whatever thing I got 206 00:11:09.480 --> 00:11:12.399 there that's got melotonin and magnesium and all sorts of 207 00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:16.120 other nonsense. So I popped one of those and I 208 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:18.279 went to bed. I was asleep by like nine p thirty. 209 00:11:19.600 --> 00:11:22.679 I pretty much slept all the way through till till 210 00:11:22.759 --> 00:11:25.559 seven am. Wow, And then I kind of just laid 211 00:11:25.600 --> 00:11:27.440 there for ten minutes till my alarm went off. 212 00:11:27.519 --> 00:11:29.360 But normally I'm. 213 00:11:29.240 --> 00:11:32.960 I'm okay because and I didn't do it this morning 214 00:11:33.000 --> 00:11:35.080 because I know I'm I'm going out for a run 215 00:11:35.159 --> 00:11:38.639 later today. But normally, like the first thing I do 216 00:11:38.720 --> 00:11:41.440 in the morning is like put the harness on Chipper 217 00:11:41.919 --> 00:11:45.799 the pup, and go for a run. So like, even 218 00:11:45.840 --> 00:11:48.159 if I kind of wake up struggling a little bit, 219 00:11:48.279 --> 00:11:51.440 like three miles kind of gets your body pumping, especially 220 00:11:51.559 --> 00:11:54.440 now as we get to hey at seven am and 221 00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:57.120 it's still kind of cold outside, like that'll that'll wake 222 00:11:57.159 --> 00:12:01.279 you up. So I'm pretty good in the mornings, I'm I'm. 223 00:12:01.840 --> 00:12:04.759 My issue was like the midday, like I'm the rare 224 00:12:05.039 --> 00:12:09.720 like early bird and night owl. Wow that like that 225 00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.879 like chunk of time between like two thirty and like 226 00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:15.960 six thirty. Though, that's the toughest part of the day 227 00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:19.279 for me because the sports haven't really started on TV. 228 00:12:19.480 --> 00:12:19.879 Yet. 229 00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:22.679 But uh, you know, if I'm into a show, maybe 230 00:12:22.679 --> 00:12:24.759 that's that's why I spend that time. But yeah, that's 231 00:12:24.840 --> 00:12:25.759 what I get in trouble. 232 00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:29.039 Yeah, I mean for me, it's usually about four thirty 233 00:12:29.120 --> 00:12:31.200 or five o'clock when I start to kind of fade 234 00:12:31.200 --> 00:12:32.840 and I've got to put either push through it or 235 00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:35.120 just sit there and not do anything because I know 236 00:12:35.159 --> 00:12:37.399 that my productivity would go in the dumper. But yeah, 237 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:39.919 I'm comparing notes on Mondays for everybody in the twitch 238 00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:42.600 pitch and ABE and everybody that comes by this morning. 239 00:12:42.639 --> 00:12:45.240 So that's opening Kickoff brought to us buy our friends 240 00:12:45.279 --> 00:12:47.879 at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff Coffeeco dot com. All Right, 241 00:12:48.279 --> 00:12:50.720 it is the last week of the regular season in 242 00:12:50.759 --> 00:12:56.000 Major League Soccer, and it's math it's math down here basically, 243 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:58.919 as we get closer to Friday and Saturday where Atlanta 244 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:02.360 United goes to Middle Florida takes on the Purple Team, 245 00:13:02.840 --> 00:13:05.080 and there's got to be some work there that's got 246 00:13:05.120 --> 00:13:06.799 to get done. There's some math that's got to get 247 00:13:06.840 --> 00:13:09.159 figured out. If Atlanta United's going to get into be 248 00:13:09.200 --> 00:13:11.559 the nine and to go on the road, they could 249 00:13:11.559 --> 00:13:14.759 be the aid if things fall a certain way. Where 250 00:13:14.799 --> 00:13:17.919 are you and the conversations that you've had outside of 251 00:13:17.960 --> 00:13:20.919 ninety two nine, just casual and otherwise on social media, 252 00:13:20.960 --> 00:13:23.679 where are you when it comes to this weekend? Where 253 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:26.639 are those that you interact with coming into this weekend 254 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:28.480 facing the Purple team in the last week of the 255 00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:29.159 regular season. 256 00:13:29.679 --> 00:13:33.360 I'll be honest, I'm more worried about Atlanta United getting 257 00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:36.480 the own result that's necessary than the other teams. Like 258 00:13:36.600 --> 00:13:38.840 I think if Atlani United can get to three points 259 00:13:38.919 --> 00:13:42.120 they need, it will fall to them like they got. 260 00:13:42.399 --> 00:13:45.480 You know, obviously, it's it was huge that you're playing 261 00:13:45.519 --> 00:13:49.639 for two spots and not one spot, and so to me, 262 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:52.000 it's more about Lanti United and taking care of their 263 00:13:52.039 --> 00:13:54.799 own business. And look last week they did take care 264 00:13:54.799 --> 00:13:57.200 of their own business. But there have been what three 265 00:13:57.320 --> 00:14:00.000 or four games before that where they had an opportunity 266 00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:03.240 to put themselves in better position by handling what was 267 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:06.519 in front of them, not scoreboard watching, and they didn't 268 00:14:06.519 --> 00:14:09.519 do it. Now they looked out because for three straight 269 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.600 weeks now they've had results for large most part go 270 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.919 in their favor. There's been a result here or there 271 00:14:15.960 --> 00:14:18.600 that made it slightly different, but you know, four or 272 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:21.480 five results that same weekend that kind of played in 273 00:14:21.559 --> 00:14:28.720 their advantage. So it's been more about themselves and finding 274 00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.519 the right opportunity to get points, and they've kind of 275 00:14:32.360 --> 00:14:34.360 kicked the can down the road. I know, I had 276 00:14:34.399 --> 00:14:37.919 called it point procrastination just kind of stayed alive in 277 00:14:38.039 --> 00:14:42.120 terms of their playoff hunt. But it's been more about 278 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.720 them not finding their own points than about other teams, 279 00:14:45.840 --> 00:14:48.759 you know, hurting them in the playoff free So I 280 00:14:48.840 --> 00:14:52.639 feel pretty good about the other games that we're keeping 281 00:14:52.799 --> 00:14:55.639 attention to, but to me, it's about ORLANDI United, Like 282 00:14:55.799 --> 00:14:58.080 they've got to find a way to get their three points, 283 00:14:58.080 --> 00:15:01.320 and at that point if they gave in, great, If 284 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:05.159 they don't get in, because the other results don't fall away, 285 00:15:05.279 --> 00:15:07.200 you can't look at the other teams and what happened. 286 00:15:07.440 --> 00:15:10.600 You had so many opportunities in this last month of 287 00:15:11.120 --> 00:15:17.039 you know, mid September into now here mid in late October. 288 00:15:17.080 --> 00:15:20.639 You had opportunities to get points and for whatever reason, 289 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.000 couldn't do it. So nobody else to blame but yourselves. 290 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.159 And that's kind of the microcosm going into this final game. 291 00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:32.240 You've got to do it yourselves. You know, it's kind 292 00:15:32.279 --> 00:15:35.399 of you know, forget you, Joe bu I'll do it myself. 293 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.240 It's kind of it's kind of along those lines, like 294 00:15:38.399 --> 00:15:41.080 it's it's time to just, you know, face the facts, 295 00:15:41.120 --> 00:15:43.840 look in the mirror, and go find three points. 296 00:15:43.879 --> 00:15:45.600 And you know, if. 297 00:15:45.440 --> 00:15:49.000 The one thing that you were looking at, potentially result wise, 298 00:15:49.120 --> 00:15:52.159 was that there was an opportunity that Orlando City would 299 00:15:52.240 --> 00:15:55.879 not have anything to play for Nashville, who was eliminated, 300 00:15:55.919 --> 00:16:00.320 couldn't help you out and take points from NYCFC, and 301 00:16:00.360 --> 00:16:03.320 so Orlando City they've got to fight for their seating 302 00:16:03.320 --> 00:16:06.960 and their positioning in the standings, and so they're gonna 303 00:16:06.960 --> 00:16:09.919 be going after it too, and to an extent that 304 00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:12.320 might help you, right, It might open some things up 305 00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:15.600 that maybe wouldn't have been open. But obviously there's the 306 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:18.960 other side that they're looking to score and potentially could 307 00:16:18.960 --> 00:16:19.399 threaten you. 308 00:16:19.720 --> 00:16:22.399 Yeah, and this could be one where since both teams 309 00:16:22.399 --> 00:16:25.279 are chasing after something, you could have it where the 310 00:16:25.320 --> 00:16:27.080 governor has been pulled out of the golf cart and 311 00:16:27.120 --> 00:16:29.480 you're gonna end up with ninety minutes of like you know, 312 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:31.399 looking at the US Open and one of these kind 313 00:16:31.399 --> 00:16:33.360 of things with Folly's back and forth. The way things 314 00:16:33.360 --> 00:16:35.840 stand out, everybody's up to thirty three matches. We had 315 00:16:36.200 --> 00:16:39.879 the two matches this past weekend, the makeups, and in 316 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.919 the Eastern Conference, Columbus pretty much just wiped the floor 317 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:47.080 with New England four nil the final there and Matan 318 00:16:47.240 --> 00:16:49.720 had a hat trick. Jason has been very, very high 319 00:16:49.720 --> 00:16:54.600 on Alexandra Maton. So right now, Miami's locked into the one, 320 00:16:55.320 --> 00:16:59.480 Columbus is locked into the two, Cincinnati's locked into the three. 321 00:16:59.759 --> 00:17:02.200 So those three teams they can just kind of sit 322 00:17:02.240 --> 00:17:03.960 there and do whatever the heck they want when it 323 00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:05.880 comes to the last game with the regular season, Miami 324 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.920 is chasing after a points record, so their lineup might 325 00:17:08.920 --> 00:17:11.279 be a little different than say Columbus or Cincinnati coming 326 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:14.079 up this weekend. Orlando. As you say, right now, they 327 00:17:14.119 --> 00:17:17.799 are in the last home advantage spot. They are right 328 00:17:17.839 --> 00:17:21.759 now two points clear in the four. But once again 329 00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:24.480 NYC is going to be breathing down their neck because 330 00:17:24.480 --> 00:17:28.640 they're at fifty. That's the situation that is staring at Orlando. 331 00:17:28.720 --> 00:17:31.759 But then you end up with that trickle down. NYC's 332 00:17:31.799 --> 00:17:35.680 at fifty, Charlotte's at forty eight, Red Bulls at forty seven. 333 00:17:35.839 --> 00:17:38.079 So Red Bulls with a win and some help, could 334 00:17:38.079 --> 00:17:40.680 get to to you know, they could get to six 335 00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.119 because they would lose the tiebreaker with NYC because of 336 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:47.720 straight wins fourteen to twelve. At that point, Charlotte could 337 00:17:47.759 --> 00:17:50.640 get up to five. You know, that math is there 338 00:17:50.680 --> 00:17:55.319 for that DC and Montreal and Toronto who is out 339 00:17:55.359 --> 00:17:58.680 because they're done. Philly's at thirty seven, Atlanta's at thirty seven, DC, 340 00:17:58.799 --> 00:18:03.640 Montreal at forty four, teams two spots, one win, separating 341 00:18:03.640 --> 00:18:05.920 a boatload of folks. Everybody else is out the door, 342 00:18:05.960 --> 00:18:10.359 and that's the Eastern Conference. It will be interesting watching. 343 00:18:10.400 --> 00:18:12.720 But I think to your point, this could be a 344 00:18:12.759 --> 00:18:17.440 game where, you know, if Orlando plays for a point, 345 00:18:17.799 --> 00:18:20.480 then they could be boring everybody to tears. But there's 346 00:18:20.519 --> 00:18:22.960 a danger in playing for just a point, because then 347 00:18:22.960 --> 00:18:25.559 that point can turn into zero points just as quickly. 348 00:18:26.640 --> 00:18:30.400 Yeah, and you kind of lost me pretty early on 349 00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:32.119 in running through that, which. 350 00:18:31.960 --> 00:18:34.559 Is and that's a good thing and a bad thing. 351 00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:37.160 And I don't mean to disrespectfully, but like that's why 352 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:40.839 I'm just focused on this game. And like, obviously, if 353 00:18:40.839 --> 00:18:43.079 you're a player, if you're Rob Valentino, you can't even 354 00:18:43.119 --> 00:18:46.240 try and look at the permutations and all that stuff. 355 00:18:46.519 --> 00:18:48.599 You just got to deal with yourselves. But you're right. 356 00:18:48.880 --> 00:18:51.960 The other thing about Orlando City in this one is 357 00:18:52.000 --> 00:18:55.400 it also might be like a modified push for points, right, 358 00:18:55.559 --> 00:18:57.640 Like they may try and be like, all right, let's 359 00:18:57.640 --> 00:18:59.440 see what we can get in the first forty five, 360 00:18:59.559 --> 00:19:04.000 maybe sixty, but we do have this other season that 361 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:06.880 we need to approach with the right mindset. Maybe we 362 00:19:07.000 --> 00:19:09.880 pull back. And so it also might be a situation 363 00:19:10.039 --> 00:19:14.359 where if you can either have a lead into the 364 00:19:14.400 --> 00:19:18.039 sixtieth or seventieth minute, maybe even be in position for 365 00:19:18.559 --> 00:19:21.519 one point, that Orlando City kind of pulls off. And 366 00:19:21.599 --> 00:19:24.319 they also will be schoolboard watching and seeing what the 367 00:19:24.359 --> 00:19:27.119 teams around them will doing. So I don't think Atlanta 368 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.759 United can get caught scoreboard watching and seeing how they 369 00:19:29.880 --> 00:19:32.440 need to or don't need to change their style of play. 370 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:34.720 Orlando City will, though. 371 00:19:35.000 --> 00:19:37.359 And I think there is a situation where they they 372 00:19:37.440 --> 00:19:42.079 might kind of step off the gas the back third 373 00:19:42.119 --> 00:19:44.559 of this match, and if you're in the right position 374 00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:48.079 situation for Atlanta United, it may not be to your 375 00:19:48.119 --> 00:19:50.880 advantage the first forty five minutes, the first sixty minutes 376 00:19:50.920 --> 00:19:54.119 with Orlando pushing, but they might pull off. And so 377 00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.640 there's also an opportunity that you could play that game 378 00:19:57.720 --> 00:20:00.519 right where you play them even and then as they 379 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.920 dial it down and prepare themselves for their own playoff race, 380 00:20:04.200 --> 00:20:06.759 maybe you could take advantage in the last twenty thirty minutes. 381 00:20:06.839 --> 00:20:10.079 So it's going to be very interesting from that perspective 382 00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:13.960 to see how Orlando City does choose to manage this match. 383 00:20:14.880 --> 00:20:18.640 There's also I mean, look, they've got to be incredibly 384 00:20:18.680 --> 00:20:22.200 careful with any soft tissue, muscle injuries, stuff like that, 385 00:20:22.400 --> 00:20:28.039 So calf, groin, hamstring, quad, anything minor that maybe you 386 00:20:28.079 --> 00:20:30.440 would see guys try and fight through that. Maybe you 387 00:20:30.440 --> 00:20:33.559 would risk something that Atlanta United will have to do, 388 00:20:34.599 --> 00:20:37.759 risk those sorts of injuries to get the max points. 389 00:20:38.799 --> 00:20:41.640 Orlando City would would certainly play a little bit more 390 00:20:41.640 --> 00:20:45.519 careful there. They'd certainly rather give up whatever seeding they 391 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:49.920 have than to exacerbate any injuries ahead of the playoffs. 392 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:53.680 So there are certainly some benefits of this situation, but 393 00:20:54.680 --> 00:20:59.599 again it's just about Atlanta United finding the opportunities. And 394 00:20:59.680 --> 00:21:03.640 you say, this is what maybe is exciting. But at 395 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:06.440 the same time, John, we haven't seen anything carry over 396 00:21:06.559 --> 00:21:09.359 game to game or any sort of momentum or discussion 397 00:21:09.440 --> 00:21:12.880 like that. But Atlanta United came out last time with 398 00:21:13.079 --> 00:21:15.480 energy right from the start, and they looked really good 399 00:21:15.559 --> 00:21:17.759 in the first half. They did not score in the 400 00:21:17.759 --> 00:21:21.640 first half, but they looked really good. And you obviously 401 00:21:21.720 --> 00:21:23.680 need to get out on the front foot and look 402 00:21:23.680 --> 00:21:26.920 aggressive early, look like you're into the game a little bit. 403 00:21:27.759 --> 00:21:29.960 Don't play yourselves into it, like be into it when 404 00:21:30.000 --> 00:21:32.839 the first whistle goes. I thought they did that very 405 00:21:32.839 --> 00:21:34.960 well last week. It showed up in the stats and 406 00:21:35.000 --> 00:21:37.480 eventually in the second half showed up on the scoreboard 407 00:21:37.519 --> 00:21:37.839 as well. 408 00:21:38.160 --> 00:21:42.000 So then what are you looking at just from a 409 00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.640 lineup perspective? I guess where are your concerns and or 410 00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:49.079 questions when it comes to the starting eleven, And how 411 00:21:49.119 --> 00:21:51.559 would you if we're playing football manager, how would you 412 00:21:51.640 --> 00:21:52.599 line things up. 413 00:21:53.119 --> 00:21:57.000 Well, obviously, I think despite what Ronald Hernandez did, you 414 00:21:57.039 --> 00:22:00.160 certainly are bringing Brooks Lennon back into the starting lineup. U. 415 00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:01.599 I think that's obvious. 416 00:22:02.960 --> 00:22:06.119 I'm probably keeping most Scara right from the start up 417 00:22:06.160 --> 00:22:10.160 on that left side, uh toront with Saba and then Uh, 418 00:22:10.720 --> 00:22:13.319 if Tra is good to go, I would I would 419 00:22:13.400 --> 00:22:16.119 run him out there as well, and and and continue. 420 00:22:16.160 --> 00:22:18.799 I know Rios has been very good, but I do 421 00:22:19.000 --> 00:22:22.440 like the most Scare Tiray dynamic up front. Two guys 422 00:22:22.480 --> 00:22:26.319 who are very fast. They could both dribble a little bit, 423 00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:29.519 but but the speed just has to be contained. And 424 00:22:29.599 --> 00:22:32.720 so that's how I would probably start out there, and 425 00:22:33.240 --> 00:22:34.680 then you got your regular stuff. 426 00:22:35.160 --> 00:22:36.480 Uh in the midfield. 427 00:22:36.839 --> 00:22:40.839 I mean, I guess there's maybe a discussion what you're doing. 428 00:22:40.920 --> 00:22:43.920 I would keep Moyaba on the bench. I think Jay 429 00:22:44.680 --> 00:22:47.640 Fortune has been outstanding there and you run him with 430 00:22:47.640 --> 00:22:50.759 with schleish and and Moran Chuck in the midfield and 431 00:22:50.759 --> 00:22:54.000 and and go about it that way. But there's gonna 432 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:56.039 come a time where you have to get reckless in 433 00:22:56.119 --> 00:22:58.720 this game, and so I think you have to make 434 00:22:58.799 --> 00:23:04.599 your eleven man lineup set with the idea that you 435 00:23:04.680 --> 00:23:07.839 might have to make these certain switches at some point 436 00:23:07.920 --> 00:23:10.599 in the game, And so could you end up seeing 437 00:23:11.039 --> 00:23:15.960 Tira and Rios combined up top with this or that? 438 00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:18.960 And where does everyone else play into that? Could you 439 00:23:19.000 --> 00:23:23.559 eventually go to just three in the back instead of 440 00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:26.200 the four man back. I mean, there's all sorts of 441 00:23:26.240 --> 00:23:30.160 considerations Valentino has to think about ahead of time before 442 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.720 you get desperate in real time, and then those adjustments 443 00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:36.400 have to be planned as necessary. So it is going 444 00:23:36.440 --> 00:23:40.000 to be interesting to see who he has, Like, would 445 00:23:40.000 --> 00:23:43.160 it surprised me if Luke Brennan And I don't even 446 00:23:43.200 --> 00:23:45.839 know if he's available after his stop with the youth 447 00:23:45.960 --> 00:23:48.359 national team, if they're if he's going to be bad, 448 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.720 but it wouldn't surprise me to see him off the 449 00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:54.680 bench and in a situation where you need a goal late, 450 00:23:54.799 --> 00:23:56.920 like you just bring Brennan in, you bring Rios in, 451 00:23:57.000 --> 00:23:59.839 and you just you just try and overload, and to 452 00:23:59.880 --> 00:24:03.160 the detriment of like Stea Gregorson and Derek Williams, you're like, hey, 453 00:24:02.880 --> 00:24:05.200 you guys are on your own back there. We're just 454 00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:07.519 gonna do what we can and put eight in the 455 00:24:07.559 --> 00:24:09.559 box here. Pretty much the rest of the game, So 456 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:12.680 it will be interesting to see both from the starting 457 00:24:12.720 --> 00:24:15.480 eleven but also from who's available, you know, off the 458 00:24:15.519 --> 00:24:18.759 bench and kind of those considerations that you have to 459 00:24:18.839 --> 00:24:22.240 consider ahead of time before and hope you don't actually 460 00:24:22.279 --> 00:24:24.079 have to face that situation. 461 00:24:24.519 --> 00:24:27.079 Yeah, No, it's a there's a there's a key to 462 00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:29.319 being in the rhythm of the game from the absolute 463 00:24:29.400 --> 00:24:32.759 beginning and then getting the advantage and then trying to 464 00:24:32.799 --> 00:24:35.720 sit on it as best you can, but making sure 465 00:24:35.839 --> 00:24:40.200 that if the game turns chaotic that at least you 466 00:24:40.200 --> 00:24:43.400 can you can control your version of the chaos and 467 00:24:43.440 --> 00:24:47.519 hopefully turn the other folks chaos into even more chaos 468 00:24:47.519 --> 00:24:48.319 with what you can do. 469 00:24:48.599 --> 00:24:51.319 It always concerns me is the other aspect to that, 470 00:24:51.480 --> 00:24:53.880 where let's say you do score a first half goal, 471 00:24:53.960 --> 00:24:56.680 and maybe you are sixty minutes in and you're like, 472 00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:58.720 all right, let's go a little bit more defensive, let's 473 00:24:58.720 --> 00:25:00.559 try and hold onto this lead, and and maybe you 474 00:25:00.599 --> 00:25:02.960 bring in Dax McCarty to try and hold on. Maybe 475 00:25:02.960 --> 00:25:05.559 you bring in Luis a brom to try and hold on, 476 00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:07.880 and then you give up a goal, right, and then 477 00:25:07.960 --> 00:25:10.720 you can see, like that's the one thing that's always 478 00:25:10.759 --> 00:25:14.839 scared me is making the defensive substitution, and then you 479 00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:17.720 find yourself with all these defensive guys in the game, 480 00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:20.720 but now you actually have to go find that goal again. 481 00:25:21.160 --> 00:25:25.519 That's the one that always concerns me. So look, you're 482 00:25:25.519 --> 00:25:28.000 gonna get nitpicked. However it works out, if you're Rob 483 00:25:28.079 --> 00:25:30.799 Valentino and it doesn't play, I would not make defensive 484 00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:34.640 substitutions if you're holding a lead. I would still, you know, 485 00:25:34.759 --> 00:25:37.680 play smart, play intelligent, but don't try and short it 486 00:25:37.759 --> 00:25:40.319 up too early. I'm not saying don't make the moves, 487 00:25:40.319 --> 00:25:43.000 but don't do it in the sixty fifth minute. Don't 488 00:25:43.039 --> 00:25:44.680 do it in the seventieth minute. If you want to 489 00:25:44.680 --> 00:25:47.559 make that move, maybe a little closer to eighty eighty five. 490 00:25:47.759 --> 00:25:48.960 I think you could play that game. 491 00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:51.720 But don't give yourself a situation where you've got to 492 00:25:51.720 --> 00:25:54.480 find a goal with fifteen to twenty twenty five minutes 493 00:25:54.559 --> 00:25:57.200 left and you don't have the subs available. 494 00:25:56.720 --> 00:25:57.759 To do it. 495 00:25:57.799 --> 00:26:00.000 Because what's better than a one goalie to two goalie. 496 00:26:00.279 --> 00:26:02.519 Yeah, I'll take four or five if they have. 497 00:26:02.519 --> 00:26:04.880 It right there with you, brother, all right, So broadcast 498 00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:07.960 plans it's an odd kick at six o'clock. Apparently, yeah, 499 00:26:08.160 --> 00:26:09.559 you know the broadcast plans yet. 500 00:26:09.799 --> 00:26:12.759 Yeah, So we're going live as always an hour before 501 00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:15.240 the game. It's going to be myself. I'll be with 502 00:26:15.519 --> 00:26:18.799 Joe Patrick on this one. So five o'clock starts the 503 00:26:18.799 --> 00:26:22.359 five Stripes countdown, and as always, we'll have a full 504 00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:25.119 reaction to the full time report after the game. Hopefully 505 00:26:25.119 --> 00:26:28.680 we're talking about who we're matching up with in the 506 00:26:28.720 --> 00:26:32.400 first round of the playoffs. But you know, if we 507 00:26:32.519 --> 00:26:36.559 have to discuss, that's it for the season. Here's why, 508 00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:39.200 here's what happened, and what is this offseason going to 509 00:26:39.240 --> 00:26:39.559 look like. 510 00:26:40.359 --> 00:26:41.000 We'll have that. 511 00:26:40.920 --> 00:26:45.240 Tough discussion as well, but hopefully we're looking towards the 512 00:26:45.279 --> 00:26:49.079 extension of the Atlanta United season. But yes, early game 513 00:26:49.119 --> 00:26:52.000 Decision Day. All the Eastern Conference games kicking off at 514 00:26:52.039 --> 00:26:55.599 six o'clock Eastern, including the one right there at Inter 515 00:26:55.759 --> 00:26:59.720 and Coast Stadium, terrible name. That's all right, But we'll 516 00:26:59.720 --> 00:27:02.759 have coverage for you leading up to an hour before kickoff, 517 00:27:02.839 --> 00:27:06.240 so we'll be ready and we might even sneak in 518 00:27:06.359 --> 00:27:09.319 a little bit of college football updates just to keep everyone, 519 00:27:09.640 --> 00:27:12.880 you know, abreast of the situations across the landscape. 520 00:27:13.000 --> 00:27:15.559 Yeah, DKR, I think The get in price at DKR 521 00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:17.920 this week right now is three hundred and sixty one 522 00:27:17.960 --> 00:27:21.880 dollars for some game involving Georgia and Texas. As always, 523 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:23.480 my friend, great to have you bat and lead off 524 00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:25.279 with us every single week, and we will catch up 525 00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:27.000 with you.

Abe has smashed the 530 00:27:36.720 --> 00:27:38.640 home run, or at least he's bunted, and he's made 531 00:27:38.680 --> 00:27:40.319 its way all the way to third. He's gonna get 532 00:27:40.359 --> 00:27:42.799 ready to be knocked in by the easy single by 533 00:27:42.839 --> 00:27:45.440 me back in the second here. Always great to catch 534 00:27:45.519 --> 00:27:48.000 up with with Abe at nine two nine the game 535 00:27:48.119 --> 00:27:51.240 and at Abe Gordon and Abe is going to go 536 00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:54.359 and become properly hydrated and so he can get in 537 00:27:54.480 --> 00:27:56.799 his day work and his roadwork and all the other 538 00:27:56.880 --> 00:27:59.400 kind of work that he does. Okay, all right, so 539 00:27:59.480 --> 00:28:03.480 let's say hi everybody this morning and get you into 540 00:28:03.640 --> 00:28:09.200 the news of the day. Morning Alex, Morning, David and David. Yes, 541 00:28:09.720 --> 00:28:12.279 David said he had an exciting day out at GSU 542 00:28:12.319 --> 00:28:16.559 and ODU last night, and yes, that is one of 543 00:28:16.559 --> 00:28:19.720 the two games that we are going to discuss. So 544 00:28:19.880 --> 00:28:23.559 David knows the situation that we're going to be discussing 545 00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:27.839 in ten thirty and beyond in refing down here extended 546 00:28:27.880 --> 00:28:31.559 morning Dell. Dell is optimistic about the USA man, like 547 00:28:31.559 --> 00:28:35.200 I said, we will discuss that specifically with Bart Keeler 548 00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:38.200 coming up in a half an hour and David yet 549 00:28:38.240 --> 00:28:41.079 they went to Vart the GSU game to award a PK. 550 00:28:41.279 --> 00:28:44.960 Like I said, We'll get into this situation and discuss 551 00:28:45.279 --> 00:28:49.480 another incident in the Sun Belt conference that happened late 552 00:28:49.559 --> 00:28:54.759 last month that should be sending off some kind of alarm. 553 00:28:54.799 --> 00:28:58.799 Bell raised eyebrow, what have you about the college game? 554 00:28:58.839 --> 00:29:01.640 Like I said, we'll get into it. The one thing 555 00:29:01.799 --> 00:29:05.599 I am not going to do is, and I did 556 00:29:05.599 --> 00:29:09.839 this on purpose, I'm not going to mention official officials names. 557 00:29:10.039 --> 00:29:13.519 I'm not I don't know who they were. I don't 558 00:29:13.559 --> 00:29:15.519 want to know who they were. It's a larger issue 559 00:29:15.519 --> 00:29:18.680 that we're going to get into around ten thirty morning. Abby, Yeah, 560 00:29:18.799 --> 00:29:21.400 rod Well, let's see, So David says, Rod KRW the 561 00:29:21.440 --> 00:29:24.000 greatest stance ever I mean Rod was Rod had the 562 00:29:24.039 --> 00:29:26.920 bat back here, the handle of the bat was facing 563 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:32.000 the picture. You had Rod Carew, you had Julio Franco. 564 00:29:33.680 --> 00:29:36.480 Let's see, I'm trying to think of other good batting stances. 565 00:29:37.359 --> 00:29:39.640 I mean, you know, if you liked Rod Cruz and 566 00:29:39.680 --> 00:29:43.880 Pete Rose was kind of an offshoot to that. You know, 567 00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:49.200 you had Willie Stargel and Joe Morgan with the timing 568 00:29:49.240 --> 00:29:52.839 mechanisms that they had with the elbow drops and making 569 00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:58.279 sure that they were ready to go. So Abby's jealous 570 00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:01.319 that I got to go see Elo. When the tickets 571 00:30:01.359 --> 00:30:04.279 went on tour and I checked the date, I literally 572 00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:07.680 had to cross reference everything. So yeah, last week was 573 00:30:07.680 --> 00:30:10.960 two dates with the Boss Lake Street Dive recommended, and 574 00:30:11.000 --> 00:30:13.480 that was Thursday at the Eastern, and they finished their 575 00:30:15.279 --> 00:30:17.799 twenty twenty four tour with three dates at the Eastern. 576 00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:20.279 They used to play Starbar, which was interesting to hear 577 00:30:20.359 --> 00:30:24.359 Rachel say that, and then Elo when jeff Lynn said 578 00:30:24.359 --> 00:30:26.039 it was going to be done, that's it, We're doing 579 00:30:26.079 --> 00:30:28.000 it and this is it. I was like, yeah, we 580 00:30:28.000 --> 00:30:29.480 got to dive in on that. And so literally I 581 00:30:29.519 --> 00:30:32.000 was cross referencing schedules and things like that to see 582 00:30:32.039 --> 00:30:34.160 if it could be something, it could be done. Great 583 00:30:34.160 --> 00:30:37.839 show went for like an hour forty five with one 584 00:30:37.920 --> 00:30:41.440 toweling off break, and you had like fourteen or fifteen 585 00:30:41.440 --> 00:30:44.920 thousand people singing falsetto choruses. It was pretty funny. But 586 00:30:44.960 --> 00:30:48.359 now it was a great concert, great light show, and 587 00:30:48.960 --> 00:30:51.720 it was very very cool to see ELO. And for 588 00:30:51.799 --> 00:30:55.559 me it was kind of a circular moment because it 589 00:30:55.799 --> 00:30:59.759 was the New World Record tour at the Omni was 590 00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:05.640 the first concert I've ever saw, so years later seeing 591 00:31:05.759 --> 00:31:09.559 Jeff Lynn on his last tour performing ELO music and 592 00:31:09.599 --> 00:31:12.640 as jeff Lynn's ELO is how it's being phrased, So 593 00:31:13.720 --> 00:31:18.119 seeing that to wrap things up for him, seeing them 594 00:31:18.119 --> 00:31:22.599 in nineteen seventy seven for the first time, very very cool. Yeah, 595 00:31:22.839 --> 00:31:28.119 a little bit of baseball down here, nothing wrong with that. Yeah, yeah, Alex, Yeah, Abe, 596 00:31:28.200 --> 00:31:30.400 but Abe got us into Abe got us into the 597 00:31:30.720 --> 00:31:33.920 swear jar early and yeah, Abby, I'm right there with you. 598 00:31:33.960 --> 00:31:35.880 I kind of need a nap about four, but I 599 00:31:35.920 --> 00:31:38.559 pushed through and yep, Elanny Knight should have taken care 600 00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:41.079 of business early. Should be a busy off season for Garth. 601 00:31:41.160 --> 00:31:44.079 Abby says, should be pleasantly surprised if they move forward, 602 00:31:44.960 --> 00:31:51.480 Abby and the discussion. H Yeah, Wade Boggs did have 603 00:31:51.519 --> 00:31:55.240 a stance, absolutely true. Enter and Co seems to be okay, 604 00:31:56.519 --> 00:32:00.359 so from what we understand, and this was a concerned 605 00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:03.319 that others had raised on the two D eighty character 606 00:32:03.319 --> 00:32:06.720 app as well, Enter and Co seems to be okay, 607 00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.880 Enter and okay. So so far right now, everything's cool 608 00:32:11.480 --> 00:32:17.519 and the stadium in Middle Florida is oki dokie. Let's see. Abby. Yeah, 609 00:32:17.519 --> 00:32:20.519 he does well. He needs to the needs not to 610 00:32:20.599 --> 00:32:23.200 have the heavy touch. I mean, the ideas are there 611 00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:25.680 and you can see them, but the touch is missing. 612 00:32:25.680 --> 00:32:28.119 And that's something I think that Edwin needs to work on. Michael, 613 00:32:28.119 --> 00:32:30.279 I think is back from vacation, back on this side 614 00:32:30.279 --> 00:32:33.519 of the of the Atlantic. Good morning, Michael. Morning pars 615 00:32:34.440 --> 00:32:39.839 and David cecil Cooper of the Brewers. That's a good pull, Abby, 616 00:32:40.039 --> 00:32:42.960 major Jewish holiday. Yes, that is true and she couldn't 617 00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.359 do Eelo And yeah, Wade bogs definitely had a stance, 618 00:32:45.440 --> 00:32:49.000 So yeah, bring in your baseball stances anybody else that 619 00:32:49.119 --> 00:32:51.319 was there on your mind. As we kind of got 620 00:32:51.319 --> 00:32:53.319 into baseball this morning with Abe as he was batt 621 00:32:53.319 --> 00:32:55.039 and lead off and kind of carried the joke a 622 00:32:55.079 --> 00:32:58.799 little further. Okay, we'll get into Like I said, we'll 623 00:32:58.799 --> 00:33:00.880 get into the numbers with Art and some of the 624 00:33:00.960 --> 00:33:04.519 quotes after the match with Bart when he comes in 625 00:33:04.599 --> 00:33:06.279 at the top of the hour, so News of the 626 00:33:06.319 --> 00:33:10.680 morning and this was this is just flat out odd. 627 00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:15.079 But I can't say that when it comes to international competition. 628 00:33:15.160 --> 00:33:20.599 I'm surprised Nigeria players. And this is Chris Bascom at 629 00:33:20.640 --> 00:33:24.640 The Guardian, the Sorry, the Telegraph, among other places. So 630 00:33:25.559 --> 00:33:28.960 wilfrid In Dede, who plays at Lester, claims he and 631 00:33:29.000 --> 00:33:32.880 his Nigerian teammates are quote being held hostage at a 632 00:33:32.960 --> 00:33:37.200 Libyan airport after an AFCAN qualifier turned into a diplomatic incident, 633 00:33:37.200 --> 00:33:41.480 and this is Bascomb's wording. Libya complained that they received 634 00:33:41.519 --> 00:33:44.839 poor treatment when the teams met in Nigeria last Friday, 635 00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:50.519 where Nigeria won one nil. So Libya is now being 636 00:33:50.559 --> 00:33:57.119 accused of retaliating by sabotaging Nigeria's travel arrangement ahead of 637 00:33:57.160 --> 00:34:02.440 the scheduled return match tomorrow night local time. Nigeria said 638 00:34:02.839 --> 00:34:05.759 their charter flight was supposed to land in ben Ghazi, 639 00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:09.360 but was instead diverted by the Libyan government to al Abrock. 640 00:34:10.320 --> 00:34:16.679 I don't know the I don't know my Libyan geography, 641 00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:20.639 but we'll get into that in a sec. Upon landing, 642 00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:23.079 the players said they were prevented from leaving the airport, 643 00:34:23.119 --> 00:34:26.679 which is four hours away from the original destination, and 644 00:34:26.800 --> 00:34:30.840 have been denied food and somewhere to sleep. The Nigerian 645 00:34:30.880 --> 00:34:33.400 players took to social media to express their disgust that 646 00:34:33.480 --> 00:34:37.400 they will refuse to play in Tuesday's fixture in protest. Indeed, 647 00:34:37.400 --> 00:34:41.440 he said quote, this is not football, very embarrassing, hostage 648 00:34:41.480 --> 00:34:45.960 to a national team, disgrace and so they There are 649 00:34:46.000 --> 00:34:49.559 pictures of the Nigerian squad sleeping in airports and things 650 00:34:49.599 --> 00:34:52.840 like that that's on social media. Victor Osimhan, who is 651 00:34:52.880 --> 00:34:55.599 not part of the squad, called on the confederation to 652 00:34:55.639 --> 00:34:58.800 take robust action against Libya for their inhumane the word 653 00:34:58.800 --> 00:35:02.519 that he used conduct Oh seen him on Instagram quote, 654 00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:05.639 I'm disappointed by the unfair treatment my brothers and coaches 655 00:35:05.679 --> 00:35:07.719 are facing at the Libya airport. Actions like this go 656 00:35:07.760 --> 00:35:09.920 against the spirit of sportsmanship. My support is with my 657 00:35:09.960 --> 00:35:12.239 team and I know they'll stay strong despite these obstacles. 658 00:35:12.599 --> 00:35:15.320 I call on CALF to intervene as my teammates and 659 00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:19.159 officials are still stranded at the airport in Libya. This 660 00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:22.199 is uncalled for and in humanely. Stand together stronger than ever. 661 00:35:22.800 --> 00:35:26.000 Captain William trucet Ekong called on his country's politicians to 662 00:35:26.039 --> 00:35:28.159 help the footballers, before announcing the team would finally be 663 00:35:28.239 --> 00:35:32.840 leaving the airport after having their plane refueled. Quote. We've 664 00:35:32.880 --> 00:35:35.760 called for the iron Nigerian government to intervene and rescue us. 665 00:35:35.800 --> 00:35:37.800 As the captain. Together with the team, we've decided that 666 00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:41.079 we will not play this game. CALF should look at 667 00:35:41.079 --> 00:35:42.840 the report and what is happening here. Even if they 668 00:35:42.880 --> 00:35:45.239 decide to allow this kind of behavior, let them have 669 00:35:45.320 --> 00:35:49.079 the points. Later posted on x power of social media, 670 00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:51.639 apparently our plane is being fueled as we speak and 671 00:35:51.679 --> 00:35:54.880 we should be leaving to Nigeria shortly. Thanks for everyone's support. 672 00:35:54.960 --> 00:35:57.599 I reiterate we would never treat a guest nation for 673 00:35:57.639 --> 00:36:00.440 a game in this way. Mistakes happened, to lay happened, 674 00:36:00.440 --> 00:36:03.719 but never on purpose. Libya registered their own complaints but 675 00:36:03.760 --> 00:36:06.599 for the first meeting of the Nations in u Yo, 676 00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:11.920 Nigeria last week. Although the Nigeria Football Federation denied ill treatment, 677 00:36:12.559 --> 00:36:16.000 Libya captain Faisal Albadry said the team was subjected to 678 00:36:16.119 --> 00:36:20.199 numerous delays upon arriving in Nigeria and were denied adequate security. 679 00:36:20.880 --> 00:36:23.840 In response to the NFF argued that the Libyan Football 680 00:36:23.880 --> 00:36:28.559 Federation had not accurately had not adequately liaised regarding their 681 00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:33.880 changing travel arrangements and arrival times. Quote, the NFF Assistant 682 00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:36.920 director emmanuel A Bunmi said, I spoke to the General 683 00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:39.559 Secretary of the LFF at length on Monday, October seven, 684 00:36:39.599 --> 00:36:41.519 and he never hinted that his team would be arriving 685 00:36:41.599 --> 00:36:49.119 on Tuesday. So yeah, you got that with Afkhan going on, 686 00:36:49.239 --> 00:36:53.280 and so that was it's part and parcel to everything. 687 00:36:53.920 --> 00:37:00.000 And then Leek Carsley. Remember the discussion that we were 688 00:37:00.119 --> 00:37:03.960 getting into with Carsley as to whether or not he 689 00:37:05.559 --> 00:37:10.320 applied for the head coaching gig in England. Thought he did, 690 00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:14.400 went publicans said I hope to be coach of the 691 00:37:14.480 --> 00:37:23.119 U twenty ones and so then he just had another 692 00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:28.039 bizarre presser. He did not give any clarity over his future, 693 00:37:29.000 --> 00:37:31.800 despite claiming the permanent manager should be quote a world 694 00:37:31.800 --> 00:37:34.400 class coach who has won trophies and admitting that that 695 00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:39.400 is not yet him. England beat Finland. Yesterday in Helsinki 696 00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:44.840 Telegraph reported Saturday, sources in and around the England setup 697 00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:47.639 are convinced he does not want the permanent job, preferring 698 00:37:47.639 --> 00:37:49.840 to continue working on his craft at this stage of 699 00:37:49.880 --> 00:37:54.599 his coaching career. Carsly told ITV quote, this job deserves 700 00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:57.880 a world class coach who has won trophies, and I'm 701 00:37:57.920 --> 00:38:00.519 still on the path to that. But car claimed he 702 00:38:00.599 --> 00:38:04.239 had definitely not publicly ruled himself out of the running 703 00:38:04.239 --> 00:38:07.280 with his comments to ITV and said, quote, like I say, 704 00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:09.360 it's important that I do the best that I can. 705 00:38:09.440 --> 00:38:11.679 It's a privilege to do this job. I feel well trusted. 706 00:38:11.719 --> 00:38:13.480 It's a great job and you know, whoever gets it 707 00:38:13.480 --> 00:38:16.000 will be fully deserving. I tried to make it as 708 00:38:16.039 --> 00:38:22.320 clear as I could. Sidebar onen't really clear, continuing my 709 00:38:22.440 --> 00:38:25.480 remit was for three camps. The point I was trying 710 00:38:25.559 --> 00:38:27.360 to make is that it's one of the top jobs 711 00:38:27.360 --> 00:38:29.079 in the world. I'm not a part of the process, 712 00:38:29.519 --> 00:38:32.440 but it deserves a top coach. The players we have available, 713 00:38:32.480 --> 00:38:34.039 we've got a real chance of winning. That was the 714 00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:36.199 point I was making. This is a world class job, 715 00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:37.679 one that is up there with the best jobs in 716 00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:39.280 football and whoever gets it's going to be of a 717 00:38:39.320 --> 00:38:42.639 high level. It's a privilege to do this job. I'm 718 00:38:42.679 --> 00:38:44.639 really well trusted. That's why it was so tough to 719 00:38:44.639 --> 00:38:46.880 lose the other night. Asked if he wants to be 720 00:38:46.880 --> 00:38:48.559 a part of the FA process to a point a 721 00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:51.440 full time manager once his interim period ends, Carsley said, 722 00:38:51.840 --> 00:38:55.199 I speak to the technical Director of FA, John McDermott 723 00:38:55.199 --> 00:38:57.480 every day. We spend a lot of time together. I 724 00:38:57.519 --> 00:38:59.960 definitely don't think it's something I should be involved with. 725 00:39:01.679 --> 00:39:04.559 My role is quite clear, and I've got two titles 726 00:39:04.559 --> 00:39:06.760 at the minute, interim senior manager and you twenty one 727 00:39:06.800 --> 00:39:08.719 head coach. I'm really lucky with the support I get 728 00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:10.400 at the FA from all of the people that work 729 00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:14.199 above me. Very lucky with the bosses I've got. I 730 00:39:14.199 --> 00:39:16.280 feel well supported and privileged to be in this position 731 00:39:16.320 --> 00:39:18.079 to be able to coach the senior team en quote. 732 00:39:18.639 --> 00:39:21.519 He refused to directly answer whether or not he wants 733 00:39:21.559 --> 00:39:25.679 the permanent job, and asked why he would not quote. 734 00:39:26.880 --> 00:39:30.239 I'm definitely reluctant because in the past, when I've done 735 00:39:30.239 --> 00:39:33.159 this caretaker or interim role, I've gone so far down 736 00:39:33.199 --> 00:39:35.400 the I don't want the job I've actually not done 737 00:39:35.440 --> 00:39:38.599 the job. It was one of the things I spoke 738 00:39:38.639 --> 00:39:41.679 about when I was asked to take temporary charge. It's 739 00:39:41.719 --> 00:39:44.199 important that I keep an open mind because in that 740 00:39:44.239 --> 00:39:49.360 case that I'm not being reckless with my decisions. Continuing later, 741 00:39:50.280 --> 00:39:53.079 I can definitely understand why you would be frustrated by it, 742 00:39:53.119 --> 00:39:55.920 meaning the lack of clarity. Definitely, I can understand that 743 00:39:55.920 --> 00:39:58.360 because clarity is what everyone's looking for in the process. 744 00:40:00.119 --> 00:40:01.920 It was really clear in terms of the three camps. 745 00:40:01.920 --> 00:40:04.239 I'm not someone that's constantly saying to John McDermott, can 746 00:40:04.280 --> 00:40:05.920 I have an update? Can I have an update? Because 747 00:40:05.920 --> 00:40:08.840 the job is difficult enough as it currently So yeah, 748 00:40:08.880 --> 00:40:10.840 I'm quite comfortable in that respect. But yeah, I can 749 00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:15.960 understand why you'd be frustrated. So do you or don't you? 750 00:40:18.159 --> 00:40:24.000 And Carsley's like, I got three camps if I'm If, 751 00:40:24.039 --> 00:40:28.320 But if I'm Lee Carsley and I want the gig 752 00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:35.719 and I'm confident enough in myself to have a conversation 753 00:40:35.880 --> 00:40:40.039 with myself and go self, do we want to be 754 00:40:40.119 --> 00:40:42.360 in charge of the of the England national team? Do 755 00:40:42.400 --> 00:40:43.760 we want to be in charge of the three Lions? 756 00:40:43.760 --> 00:40:45.079 I guess this is where we need to bring Jessica 757 00:40:45.119 --> 00:40:49.519 Charman in the conversation. If you're confident in yourself, shouldn't 758 00:40:49.519 --> 00:40:50.920 you sit there and say, yeah, I want the gig, 759 00:40:50.920 --> 00:40:52.559 And I'm going to prove in these three camps that 760 00:40:52.639 --> 00:40:54.800 I want the gig. If at the end of these 761 00:40:54.840 --> 00:40:58.960 three camps that I'm part of the discussion, but I 762 00:40:59.000 --> 00:41:01.559 don't end up being the guy that they choose, and 763 00:41:01.599 --> 00:41:03.000 I'll go back to being the head coach of the 764 00:41:03.039 --> 00:41:05.079 U twenty one and I'll continue to ply our trade 765 00:41:05.079 --> 00:41:08.559 there and we'll win trophies there. To me, it just 766 00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:16.679 seems that Lee Carsley, I don't know if he can't 767 00:41:16.679 --> 00:41:18.800 make up his mind, doesn't want to make up his mind, 768 00:41:18.840 --> 00:41:21.000 doesn't want to continue, doesn't want to talk about it. 769 00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:25.480 But it's like, look, if you're confident in yourself, say it. 770 00:41:27.199 --> 00:41:29.360 If you're confident in yourself as a U twenty one, 771 00:41:29.559 --> 00:41:36.159 say that. It's like he's saying he's saying one side, 772 00:41:36.199 --> 00:41:39.440 and then he's saying the other side, and then it's 773 00:41:39.480 --> 00:41:41.639 like he's saying both things, but then he's saying nothing. 774 00:41:42.199 --> 00:41:47.000 If that makes any sense. England beat Finland three to one, 775 00:41:47.039 --> 00:41:51.920 by the way, and so we'll get into math with Bart, 776 00:41:52.360 --> 00:41:54.719 and there's some things that we do need to discuss 777 00:41:54.800 --> 00:41:57.280 involving the men's national team, like folks that will not 778 00:41:57.360 --> 00:41:59.800 be around for the second friendly. And we talked about 779 00:42:00.239 --> 00:42:03.239 points and things like that. We'll let Bart do some 780 00:42:03.280 --> 00:42:07.920 math and see if we can figure it out. And 781 00:42:08.360 --> 00:42:13.599 uh yeah, it's like you look at what Lee Carsley 782 00:42:13.719 --> 00:42:19.400 is saying and then you're like, mm hmm. I mean 783 00:42:19.639 --> 00:42:25.840 literally it is. It is just a yeah, yea and apparently, 784 00:42:26.360 --> 00:42:30.280 and and you know that everybody's going to be asked 785 00:42:30.280 --> 00:42:32.760 about it. Pep Guardiola was asked about it, and so 786 00:42:32.840 --> 00:42:38.199 of course Pep saying what he says, but not really 787 00:42:38.320 --> 00:42:45.079 saying anything. Everybody's like, oh, Pep's interested, Sure, Sure, Pep's interested. 788 00:42:46.119 --> 00:42:48.519 He's not gonna say he's not not I don't want it. 789 00:42:50.360 --> 00:42:54.000 But Pep Guardiola when he was asked, he's the equivalent 790 00:42:54.039 --> 00:42:58.119 of anything's possible. Matt Law and Jason Burke, by the 791 00:42:58.119 --> 00:43:02.400 way at the Telegraph add this to the mix. The 792 00:43:02.559 --> 00:43:05.480 FA has not yet formally interviewed any of the leading 793 00:43:05.599 --> 00:43:10.320 candidates to become the next permanent England manager, more than 794 00:43:10.320 --> 00:43:15.480 two months after the closing date for applications. What does 795 00:43:15.519 --> 00:43:20.920 that say prompting questions over the process to appoint Garrett's 796 00:43:20.920 --> 00:43:25.840 Southgate's permanent successor, which the FA insists is robust, ongoing 797 00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:29.119 and must remain confidential. Yet apparently you have yet to 798 00:43:29.199 --> 00:43:33.760 formally interview anyone. FA is not giving any updates on 799 00:43:33.800 --> 00:43:38.039 their progress. Telegraph has been told that none of the 800 00:43:38.079 --> 00:43:41.239 external favorites have been formally interviewed. Eddie how Graham, Potter, 801 00:43:41.320 --> 00:43:46.400 Thomas tookewill all heavily linked. Manchester City's PEP Guardiella remains 802 00:43:46.440 --> 00:43:49.199 a dream long term candidate, with some believing the FA 803 00:43:49.239 --> 00:43:53.280 would be prepared to wait for PEP if he gave 804 00:43:53.280 --> 00:44:00.119 it any encouragement. The FA has been accused of dragging 805 00:44:00.159 --> 00:44:06.199 their feet. Some candidates have been sounded out, either directly 806 00:44:06.280 --> 00:44:08.719 or indirectly. Checks have been made on individuals. It's claimed 807 00:44:08.719 --> 00:44:11.360 that formal interviews have not yet taken place. The FA 808 00:44:11.400 --> 00:44:17.000 closing date for applications was August the second, So then 809 00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:23.000 the question is is the FA kind of hoping that 810 00:44:23.159 --> 00:44:27.480 Carsly will play himself or coach himself into the gig 811 00:44:30.239 --> 00:44:35.559 because he definitely would be financially viable. No word on 812 00:44:35.599 --> 00:44:38.440 whether or not a tenured professorship would help out in 813 00:44:38.480 --> 00:44:40.840 bringing in any of the big names or help out 814 00:44:40.920 --> 00:44:47.400 in having Carsly secure. The gig never viewed the permanent 815 00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:51.239 job as his to lose, while the FA has never 816 00:44:51.320 --> 00:44:53.360 veered from the fact that Carsly has been given three 817 00:44:53.400 --> 00:45:00.199 international breaks as interim head coach. Source told The Telegraph, Oh, 818 00:45:00.199 --> 00:45:02.760 we keep hearing about a process, but what's actually happening. 819 00:45:02.800 --> 00:45:04.960 Why has nobody been interviewed? What have the FA been 820 00:45:04.960 --> 00:45:07.800 doing for the past two months. They will hide behind 821 00:45:07.800 --> 00:45:10.400 the fact that it's confidential, but they haven't formally interviewed 822 00:45:10.440 --> 00:45:16.599 anybody of any note. The FA believes that in appointing 823 00:45:16.639 --> 00:45:20.079 Carsley they laid out their timeline having to provide public updates, 824 00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:26.519 and now they're questioning the role of John McDermott, the 825 00:45:26.679 --> 00:45:30.880 FA technical director, the one that we were talking about, 826 00:45:30.880 --> 00:45:32.320 where Carsley was saying and saying, well, why don't have 827 00:45:32.360 --> 00:45:34.639 a conversation with John go Well, John am I? John 828 00:45:34.679 --> 00:45:42.239 am I not? So it's chaos with the FA. So 829 00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:46.000 the FA has no clue, or they may if they 830 00:45:46.079 --> 00:45:48.559 do have a clue, then they're certainly not letting the 831 00:45:48.559 --> 00:45:50.800 rest of us know about the clue that they have 832 00:45:52.920 --> 00:45:58.280 when it comes to bringing in a successor, or are 833 00:45:58.320 --> 00:46:02.119 they bringing in a successor. Carsly fears losing focus if 834 00:46:02.159 --> 00:46:10.400 he talks about the England Gig frankly, legitimately, frankly, if 835 00:46:10.400 --> 00:46:12.599 I'm asked about it, I'm sitting there, and if I'm 836 00:46:12.639 --> 00:46:17.280 confident in myself, I'm sitting there saying, yeah, I'm coaching. 837 00:46:17.280 --> 00:46:19.440 I'm coaching my ass off because i want my country 838 00:46:19.440 --> 00:46:20.960 to succeed. And if it ends up at the end 839 00:46:21.000 --> 00:46:23.360 of the day that I'm a part of this discussion 840 00:46:24.559 --> 00:46:27.000 that they view that my body of work is worthy 841 00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:31.199 of being considered considered for the top spot, in addition 842 00:46:31.239 --> 00:46:33.320 to all the other names that have been mentioned publicly 843 00:46:33.400 --> 00:46:35.599 or have not been mentioned and have only been mentioned 844 00:46:35.599 --> 00:46:38.159 privately within the walls of the FA. I'd like to 845 00:46:38.199 --> 00:46:40.519 be a part of that discussion, and I'm hoping that 846 00:46:40.559 --> 00:46:42.760 these three camps will make me a part of that discussion. 847 00:46:43.960 --> 00:46:46.920 That's what Lee Carsley needs to say here. If he's 848 00:46:46.960 --> 00:46:53.519 confident in himself, the best way to accomplish something is 849 00:46:53.679 --> 00:47:00.840 bank on yourself. Lee Carsley apparently is be hoping that 850 00:47:01.000 --> 00:47:05.920 somebody steals the pin number of somebody else's credit card 851 00:47:05.960 --> 00:47:10.960 and he gets to use that going forward. I don't know, 852 00:47:11.800 --> 00:47:16.440 but it's just it seems too overly chaotic and Carsley 853 00:47:16.519 --> 00:47:18.960 wants to say things and not say things and not 854 00:47:19.000 --> 00:47:21.599 lose focus. Man the ultimate focus. If you don't want 855 00:47:21.599 --> 00:47:26.599 to lose focus, then focus on winning. Sit there and say, yeah, 856 00:47:26.599 --> 00:47:28.599 we're gonna do our damn just to represent our country 857 00:47:28.599 --> 00:47:33.519 as best we can. And if it ends up at 858 00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:35.920 the end of the day that while I'm confident in 859 00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:39.440 myself and the abilities of of me and my staff 860 00:47:39.480 --> 00:47:42.400 to move the England the England team forward as best 861 00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:44.519 we can when it comes to European competition, if at 862 00:47:44.559 --> 00:47:47.679 the end of the day the England FA feels that 863 00:47:47.679 --> 00:47:50.239 they need to go in a different direction, that ultimately 864 00:47:50.360 --> 00:47:53.400 is their choice. But I'm confident in myself and all 865 00:47:53.440 --> 00:47:56.159 of and all of our collective abilities here to give 866 00:47:56.159 --> 00:47:59.639 the best representation of the Three Lions in international football 867 00:47:59.679 --> 00:48:01.880 as we I would love to be considered at the 868 00:48:01.960 --> 00:48:03.920 end of these three windows for the gig if they 869 00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:13.639 feel that I'm worthy. Not hard, Not hard, It is 870 00:48:13.719 --> 00:48:20.599 not hard, sir. And basically what Pep Guardilla told international 871 00:48:21.079 --> 00:48:26.880 to the Italian television on Jetempo che Fa leaving city 872 00:48:26.960 --> 00:48:28.880 not true. Haven't decided yet and it's not even true 873 00:48:28.880 --> 00:48:30.400 that I will be the next England coach if I 874 00:48:30.679 --> 00:48:32.639 if I had decided, I would say it. I don't 875 00:48:32.639 --> 00:48:35.159 know either anything can happen. So basically what you have 876 00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:38.639 is an entire country running off of that quote on 877 00:48:38.760 --> 00:48:46.920 Italian television about interest or not interest or anything of 878 00:48:46.920 --> 00:48:55.480 that sort. When it comes to the England gig. Joel Matchett, 879 00:48:55.480 --> 00:48:57.800 by the way, has confirmed his retirement at the age 880 00:48:57.840 --> 00:49:03.440 of thirty three. So let's see Guardian Telegraph, let's see 881 00:49:03.440 --> 00:49:07.840 what's going on with the Independent. Yeah, yeah, Derek Parky 882 00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:12.000 said it best. It's not coming home at this rate. 883 00:49:12.039 --> 00:49:15.599 It definitely is not coming home. And apparently Jack Grealish 884 00:49:15.639 --> 00:49:18.519 revealed a five hundred pound bet with Alexander arnoldver an 885 00:49:18.559 --> 00:49:24.320 England free kick and he lost that bet. Gabriel Martinelli 886 00:49:26.320 --> 00:49:29.000 injury concern for Arsenal as they get ready for their 887 00:49:29.039 --> 00:49:34.119 trip to Bournemouth. I'm sure that Bart's ears were burning 888 00:49:34.119 --> 00:49:36.800 as we were discussing that. But Kayosaka ruled out of 889 00:49:36.840 --> 00:49:39.039 England's match against Finland, so that was a part of 890 00:49:39.079 --> 00:49:44.280 the discussion as well. And Ronald Cooman, mad about Van 891 00:49:44.400 --> 00:49:48.000 Dyck being banned, got two yellow cards in three minutes 892 00:49:48.079 --> 00:49:49.840 late in the second half of the Netherlands won one 893 00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:53.079 draw with Hungary in the Nations League and so now 894 00:49:54.320 --> 00:49:56.719 you will not call up a replacement for the suspended 895 00:49:56.760 --> 00:50:00.719 captain ahead of the vital trip to Germany today. Left 896 00:50:00.719 --> 00:50:03.440 perplexed by the sending off in the Nation's League game. 897 00:50:05.840 --> 00:50:14.840 So you have all kind of fun and interesting things 898 00:50:15.639 --> 00:50:21.280 that are going on here. Wouldn't be international football if 899 00:50:21.280 --> 00:50:30.199 it wasn't.

Brazil keeper Ederson says he had an 911 00:51:10.119 --> 00:51:12.119 offer to leave Manchester City in the summer talks with 912 00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:13.920 Pep Guardi yellow or key to him staying with the 913 00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:17.960 Premier League club. Arsenal's Nathan butler O Yadesi being tracked 914 00:51:18.000 --> 00:51:22.480 by Barusia Munchin Gladbach. German center back Marvin Friedrich could 915 00:51:22.519 --> 00:51:26.480 leave Barusian Munchen Gladbach in January.

I don't know if 943 00:53:18.679 --> 00:53:21.519 the judges are going to be voting, or they were 944 00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:23.800 supposed to have voted in the same timeframe, or if 945 00:53:23.800 --> 00:53:25.440 they got to look at the numbers from the fan 946 00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:28.280 vote and go ooh, let's take a peek at this 947 00:53:29.159 --> 00:53:33.599 and see what's going on there morning Sharif. So thanks 948 00:53:33.599 --> 00:53:37.800 to everybody who voted, participated, watched, might have maybe put 949 00:53:37.880 --> 00:53:39.880 up a bot or two just to continue voting from 950 00:53:39.880 --> 00:53:44.119 different IP addresses. Stack the deck. We cannot thank you 951 00:53:44.280 --> 00:53:50.519 enough for getting out your slingshot and grabbing some stones 952 00:53:50.559 --> 00:53:52.280 and trying to sit there and look at the rest 953 00:53:52.320 --> 00:53:54.559 of the planet. Because when you are going up against 954 00:53:55.760 --> 00:54:06.320 Prime ITVY, Talk Sport, ESPNFC, our friends at goloss On 955 00:54:06.440 --> 00:54:11.920 network belated Happy birthday, Poppy Miller, when you're going up 956 00:54:11.920 --> 00:54:14.119 against all of that, you know, I mean, the BBC 957 00:54:14.440 --> 00:54:17.199 is just it's crazy to think about that kind of stuff. 958 00:54:17.280 --> 00:54:21.760 But the public vote finished yesterday at dinner time, and 959 00:54:21.880 --> 00:54:25.360 so that's fifty percent is done. I don't know if 960 00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:29.039 we get another fifty percent, we get to go to 961 00:54:29.159 --> 00:54:31.800 finalist finalists before we have to figure out if we're 962 00:54:32.079 --> 00:54:35.360 traveling to London or not. As the Boss says that 963 00:54:36.119 --> 00:54:39.119 if you're if you're a finalist, you're going don't know 964 00:54:39.159 --> 00:54:41.199 if we're going to get told or if it's just 965 00:54:41.440 --> 00:54:45.119 an announcement that gets made. Hey, you've you know on 966 00:54:45.199 --> 00:54:47.320 the twentieth Hey, by the way, you're a finalist. No, 967 00:54:47.400 --> 00:54:49.039 it's kind of hard to fly out on the twentieth 968 00:54:49.079 --> 00:54:51.559 of November for something on the twenty first. Anyway, all right, 969 00:54:51.639 --> 00:54:54.840 our number two it is ten o'clock, and so ten 970 00:54:54.880 --> 00:54:56.519 o'clock on a Monday means that we bring in Bart 971 00:54:56.559 --> 00:55:00.679 Keeler from the Soccer for US Pod two episodes Shy 972 00:55:01.719 --> 00:55:06.559 of one hundred and Bart, is it true that that 973 00:55:06.679 --> 00:55:09.960 the coal rush uniforms for West Virginia are going to 974 00:55:10.000 --> 00:55:12.480 be thrown out with the sofas and just burned at 975 00:55:12.480 --> 00:55:17.320 the stake? There he goes. 976 00:55:20.760 --> 00:55:24.599 You know, I saw a tweet from a w fan account, 977 00:55:24.800 --> 00:55:28.280 very popular one, and I like what they say, like 978 00:55:28.320 --> 00:55:34.440 all the time, but mentioned that wearing the coal rush 979 00:55:34.519 --> 00:55:38.440 uniform and putting out that type of performance is not 980 00:55:38.599 --> 00:55:42.280 representative of the state. And as much as I love 981 00:55:42.320 --> 00:55:44.440 the state of West Virginia, I have to say, actually 982 00:55:44.400 --> 00:55:47.079 it is kind of very representative. Trying to celebrate coal 983 00:55:47.119 --> 00:55:49.800 and then falling flat on your face is pretty representative 984 00:55:49.840 --> 00:55:53.400 of the state of West Virginia. They should move on 985 00:55:53.480 --> 00:55:57.199 from coal. Respect all the coal miners. You have a 986 00:55:57.199 --> 00:56:01.400 hard and dangerous job. But there are other things to 987 00:56:01.400 --> 00:56:04.039 celebrate about the great state of West Virginia, and natural 988 00:56:04.039 --> 00:56:06.679 beauty being one of those that, by the way, Cole 989 00:56:06.800 --> 00:56:10.280 ruins a lot of But you know, hey, windmills are 990 00:56:10.280 --> 00:56:12.159 the problem, not strip mining where you take off an 991 00:56:12.280 --> 00:56:13.000 entire top of a. 992 00:56:12.960 --> 00:56:19.400 Mountain, correct, I know, yes, yes, absolutely, But no, I 993 00:56:20.000 --> 00:56:21.679 thought they looked Falcons. 994 00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:23.800 One on Sunday, John, That's what I'm focusing on. Tech 995 00:56:23.840 --> 00:56:27.199 one at UGA. That's a great win for them. Auburn 996 00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:32.599 didn't have to cause your household any internal stress today. 997 00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:34.639 Well either did Florida State. 998 00:56:34.719 --> 00:56:38.000 By the way, you're right, You're right. You got to 999 00:56:38.039 --> 00:56:43.320 watch opposing fans, you know, go through the consternation of 1000 00:56:43.360 --> 00:56:44.800 being a football fan this weekend. 1001 00:56:45.000 --> 00:56:47.239 Yes, it is absolutely true, and we talked about it 1002 00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:51.679 on the OSG side of things. With the other elements 1003 00:56:51.719 --> 00:56:55.639 and things that went on, we were all either looking 1004 00:56:55.639 --> 00:56:58.719 at everybody else and not worrying about our bye week 1005 00:56:58.760 --> 00:57:00.639 and wondering how we could still be fifteenth in the 1006 00:57:00.719 --> 00:57:05.519 Conference of seventeen schools. But there there was a moment, 1007 00:57:06.320 --> 00:57:09.000 and there was a moment in US soccer where it 1008 00:57:09.079 --> 00:57:13.119 was officially official. First off, was was Q two even full? 1009 00:57:15.480 --> 00:57:22.760 You know, I don't think it was officially full. It 1010 00:57:22.840 --> 00:57:25.679 was close. They announced the night before the game they 1011 00:57:25.679 --> 00:57:32.280 had basically like what they needed two thousand tickets to 1012 00:57:32.280 --> 00:57:37.039 be sold wow, which you know is disheartening because Q 1013 00:57:37.079 --> 00:57:40.280 two is only a stadium of just over twenty thousand. 1014 00:57:40.440 --> 00:57:46.880 So the fact that they weren't able to m yeah, attended, well, 1015 00:57:46.880 --> 00:57:49.280 they announced attends at twenty two thirty nine, so I 1016 00:57:49.280 --> 00:57:51.559 guess it was a full house. Congratulations or it was. 1017 00:57:51.639 --> 00:57:51.880 Yeah. 1018 00:57:51.880 --> 00:57:54.199 I would hope that, you know, US soccer would have 1019 00:57:54.239 --> 00:57:57.880 been able to sell out the match of the first Yeah, 1020 00:57:58.239 --> 00:58:01.079 the first match of its new head coach, the best, 1021 00:58:01.760 --> 00:58:09.559 biggest head coach of its history. But you know, oh well, 1022 00:58:10.280 --> 00:58:12.480 apparently they did sell out. Good for them. It took 1023 00:58:12.519 --> 00:58:14.599 them all until the day of the game. 1024 00:58:15.000 --> 00:58:21.119 Yes, so we end up with a win for the 1025 00:58:21.199 --> 00:58:25.840 United States. And the way that John Arnold at all 1026 00:58:26.800 --> 00:58:33.000 phrased it was this, It was that Pochettino's US M 1027 00:58:33.039 --> 00:58:36.760 and T passed the vibe check. How long will the 1028 00:58:36.800 --> 00:58:39.599 good times roll? He says. Soccer is about physical ability 1029 00:58:39.599 --> 00:58:41.840 and skill, plus the collective understanding of how best to 1030 00:58:41.840 --> 00:58:43.840 work together to score goals keep the other team scoring 1031 00:58:43.840 --> 00:58:47.719 on you. But especially at the international level, vibes enter 1032 00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:50.719 the equation too, whether it's frustration with a certain coach's 1033 00:58:50.719 --> 00:58:53.480 style of play, anger at recent results, or even national 1034 00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:56.880 moods spilling into the sporting sphere. What's going on around 1035 00:58:56.880 --> 00:58:59.000 a team often has a big effect on a team's form, 1036 00:58:59.039 --> 00:59:01.000 even when it seems to perre in the ability and 1037 00:59:01.079 --> 00:59:03.719 skills sector. That may even be more true in the 1038 00:59:03.719 --> 00:59:07.119 Concacaff region, where the depth of any given national team 1039 00:59:07.199 --> 00:59:10.239 is unlikely to match that of counterparts in UEFA or Connoble. 1040 00:59:11.159 --> 00:59:13.119 My friends at the World of Concacaff podcast say that 1041 00:59:13.159 --> 00:59:16.039 Concacaff is a vibes based economy. 1042 00:59:16.480 --> 00:59:20.159 Cocacaff is a vibes based economy. That that is a fact. 1043 00:59:20.440 --> 00:59:23.880 While hiring Mursio Pochettino or Jesse Marshall, havieror Gira is 1044 00:59:23.920 --> 00:59:26.079 designed to take advantage of a coach's experience at the 1045 00:59:26.119 --> 00:59:28.360 highest levels of the club game, they're also intended to 1046 00:59:28.440 --> 00:59:31.000 change the vibes. No one would argue the vibes were 1047 00:59:31.000 --> 00:59:33.679 good at the end of Greg Burholter's tenure leading to 1048 00:59:33.679 --> 00:59:35.960 the US men's national team, and no one will argue 1049 00:59:35.960 --> 00:59:39.360 there anything but good. One game into the Pochattino era, 1050 00:59:39.480 --> 00:59:42.440 after a two nail victory over Panama, what say you, 1051 00:59:42.559 --> 00:59:43.639 Bart Keeler. 1052 00:59:44.679 --> 00:59:48.119 Yeah, I think that for starters, you got to win 1053 00:59:48.159 --> 00:59:52.360 over Panama, which under the Burholter tenure was kind of 1054 00:59:52.400 --> 00:59:58.199 this bugaboo team, right, I mean, Panama beat US in 1055 00:59:58.280 --> 01:00:03.440 World Cup qualifying down there, they proved to be a 1056 01:00:03.480 --> 01:00:07.039 problem for US in Gold Cups, you know, knocked us 1057 01:00:07.039 --> 01:00:10.559 out of the last of the twenty twenty three Gold Cup. 1058 01:00:10.639 --> 01:00:15.800 That was a lot of math beat us obviously in 1059 01:00:15.840 --> 01:00:18.840 Cocoa America for you know, and there are some extenuating 1060 01:00:18.880 --> 01:00:22.039 circumstances around them. You remember that loss in World Cup qualifying. 1061 01:00:22.039 --> 01:00:24.519 We had Josse's artist starting, which is a recipe for 1062 01:00:24.599 --> 01:00:30.440 disturb for anyone. You then lost in that Gold Cup 1063 01:00:30.440 --> 01:00:32.960 in twenty twenty three because you know, Panama doesn't have 1064 01:00:33.000 --> 01:00:34.599 a B squad, they have their A squad and the 1065 01:00:34.679 --> 01:00:37.719 US was playing somewhere between a D and a B squad. 1066 01:00:38.559 --> 01:00:40.800 And then obviously with the Copa America result, it was 1067 01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:42.320 because you had you know. 1068 01:00:42.519 --> 01:00:42.760 A. 1069 01:00:44.360 --> 01:00:46.559 Red card by Tim Wahab for being you know, a 1070 01:00:46.599 --> 01:00:49.840 little dumb. But you know, this was a This was 1071 01:00:50.079 --> 01:00:52.599 definitely not a first choice lineup from the US, right, 1072 01:00:52.760 --> 01:00:55.400 not just with the injuries that we knew of coming 1073 01:00:55.440 --> 01:01:00.159 into camp, but then the players that were selected were 1074 01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:02.119 probably not the first choice for a lot of people 1075 01:01:02.159 --> 01:01:04.320 that would be picking a team, and there are obvious 1076 01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:06.760 reasons for that. I'm sure we will have a question about. 1077 01:01:08.400 --> 01:01:12.519 And so the fact that you won is good because 1078 01:01:12.519 --> 01:01:15.880 that as a reversal from what you've seen in recent history. 1079 01:01:16.119 --> 01:01:19.559 But also John apparently saw one watching the broadcast Panama 1080 01:01:19.599 --> 01:01:22.599 had scored a goal on the US in at least 1081 01:01:22.639 --> 01:01:23.599 five straight games. 1082 01:01:23.719 --> 01:01:25.440 Wow, and so. 1083 01:01:25.320 --> 01:01:28.079 You got to shut out and that was the hallmark 1084 01:01:28.119 --> 01:01:30.079 of the burd To Halter Tenter. So the tenure, so 1085 01:01:30.159 --> 01:01:32.480 I was told by his supporters, is that, oh, his 1086 01:01:32.559 --> 01:01:34.639 defensive scheme is very good. We don't give up a 1087 01:01:34.639 --> 01:01:37.920 whole lot of goals. Again, Panama seemed to be the 1088 01:01:37.960 --> 01:01:40.360 team that figured out how to Panama and Canada where 1089 01:01:40.400 --> 01:01:42.079 the two teams that figured out how to score goals 1090 01:01:42.079 --> 01:01:48.159 against the US consistently. And a lot of that is 1091 01:01:49.719 --> 01:01:56.440 looking at what we saw. The difference between Saturday and 1092 01:01:56.480 --> 01:01:58.400 what we saw a difference between you know, the last 1093 01:01:58.440 --> 01:02:02.079 few games of the Burholter era was I think two things. 1094 01:02:02.159 --> 01:02:08.280 One was just an intentionality to the play more frequently, okay, 1095 01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:13.239 And then I don't want to say intensity because I 1096 01:02:13.239 --> 01:02:16.079 don't think that's like a fair metric to use. It's 1097 01:02:16.079 --> 01:02:19.079 a little that's a little too vibesy, but you could 1098 01:02:19.119 --> 01:02:21.840 just tell that there was a understanding of the severity 1099 01:02:21.840 --> 01:02:23.480 of Hey, I'm playing for the national team. We got 1100 01:02:23.519 --> 01:02:27.079 to go win. Was it perfect? By no stretch? 1101 01:02:27.119 --> 01:02:27.760 It was perfect? 1102 01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:31.960 Right it was. There were there were errant passes everywhere. 1103 01:02:32.000 --> 01:02:35.239 There were obviously players who didn't live up to the 1104 01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:39.239 moment at many times, some players who, unfortunately, I think, 1105 01:02:39.400 --> 01:02:44.719 failed to capitalize on the opportunity they had from you know, 1106 01:02:44.760 --> 01:02:48.280 being able to start over players who were injured or 1107 01:02:49.320 --> 01:02:53.360 being held out due to rest. But overall, the team 1108 01:02:53.760 --> 01:02:56.480 as a collective got a too new well when at 1109 01:02:56.480 --> 01:02:59.599 home in the first game of the punchtoon era. And 1110 01:03:00.480 --> 01:03:01.840 that's that's the positive. 1111 01:03:02.599 --> 01:03:04.960 Eunice Mussa scores in the forty ninth through Cardo Peppy 1112 01:03:05.000 --> 01:03:06.320 scores at ninety plus four. 1113 01:03:06.960 --> 01:03:08.639 That's what does he scores in Austin. 1114 01:03:09.039 --> 01:03:17.000 Yes, that is true, just asking I'm as verites about 1115 01:03:17.000 --> 01:03:19.800 that too from his time at FCD. Uh sealed. The 1116 01:03:19.880 --> 01:03:23.000 victory ended USA's four game winless streak player ratings or 1117 01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:25.320 player ratings. And this is where we tear apart what 1118 01:03:25.440 --> 01:03:29.079 Soccer America likes to do on a match by match basis, 1119 01:03:29.119 --> 01:03:33.880 Matt Turner had a six. Early in the second half. 1120 01:03:33.880 --> 01:03:36.840 Turner stops Panama's first good chance with the diving save, 1121 01:03:36.920 --> 01:03:39.639 jumped up to block the close range shot off the rebound, 1122 01:03:39.719 --> 01:03:42.639 so Matt Turner with a six in net. For the 1123 01:03:42.800 --> 01:03:49.400 United States defenders, Anthony Robinson gets a five, Mark McKenzie 1124 01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:52.280 gets a five, Joe Scally gets a five. Tim Reen 1125 01:03:52.440 --> 01:03:55.480 gets a six. Sparked the attack on the first goal 1126 01:03:55.519 --> 01:03:57.480 with a long ball down the wing to Robinson, Reem 1127 01:03:57.519 --> 01:03:59.760 and Mark McKenzie blocked several shots by those kind of 1128 01:03:59.840 --> 01:04:04.559 le and mostly distributed safely, although mackenzie gifted Panama ball 1129 01:04:04.599 --> 01:04:06.079 deep in the US half in a free kick at 1130 01:04:06.159 --> 01:04:08.039 to the edge of the area. In the eighty seventh, 1131 01:04:08.480 --> 01:04:10.719 Kinsey was beaten to the ball by a guarda Farina 1132 01:04:10.760 --> 01:04:15.320 who hit wide from seven yards out. So five's basically 1133 01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:18.480 across the board except for Tim Reim, who looks like 1134 01:04:18.519 --> 01:04:20.960 he sparked an attack. Therefore he got a plus one 1135 01:04:21.000 --> 01:04:21.840 there and got a six. 1136 01:04:22.119 --> 01:04:24.000 I think that's a little unfair to Jedi, who did 1137 01:04:24.079 --> 01:04:26.679 I think a much better job in a slightly more 1138 01:04:26.719 --> 01:04:30.159 advanced role. I know formations aren't a real thing, but 1139 01:04:30.320 --> 01:04:33.320 it was like an unbalanced four three three four three, 1140 01:04:33.360 --> 01:04:38.480 where like Jedi and Musa were technically in the same plane, 1141 01:04:38.559 --> 01:04:40.960 but like Musa was a little bit higher than Jedi. 1142 01:04:41.119 --> 01:04:42.440 Like it was like they were a little bit on 1143 01:04:42.440 --> 01:04:48.199 a seesaw. But I thought Jedi was better than a five. 1144 01:04:48.840 --> 01:04:54.079 I don't think anyone else did anything worth noting from 1145 01:04:54.119 --> 01:04:57.239 the defensive standpoint, And I again, I think mackenzie is 1146 01:04:57.280 --> 01:05:00.239 one of those guys who did not take advantage a 1147 01:05:00.320 --> 01:05:03.360 chance to put a good foot forward for the manager. 1148 01:05:03.360 --> 01:05:06.039 I know, again, you get the shutout, but a lot 1149 01:05:06.119 --> 01:05:09.719 of times he committed fouls or got beat to a 1150 01:05:09.719 --> 01:05:13.039 ball and it just wasn't He continues to be this 1151 01:05:14.320 --> 01:05:18.440 a story of unfulfilled promise from Mark McKenzie where you 1152 01:05:18.480 --> 01:05:20.400 watch him and you go, this guy could be really good, 1153 01:05:20.440 --> 01:05:22.559 and then when it comes time to actually test him, 1154 01:05:22.599 --> 01:05:26.199 he kind of doesn't always pass the test, or if 1155 01:05:26.199 --> 01:05:29.239 he does, it's like at best to see and you know, 1156 01:05:29.440 --> 01:05:32.559 that's disappointing when Tim Brim seems to be the most 1157 01:05:33.280 --> 01:05:36.840 competent center back in your center back pool right now 1158 01:05:36.880 --> 01:05:38.760 and he's you know, eighty seven years old. 1159 01:05:39.159 --> 01:05:45.519 Yes, midfielders Eunice Mussa Aiden Morris, Shall, Nikabusio, and Musa 1160 01:05:45.599 --> 01:05:48.880 gets a seven. I'm guessing because you still get the goal. 1161 01:05:49.159 --> 01:05:50.800 I was going to say, ooh, you got the goal, 1162 01:05:50.880 --> 01:05:52.840 so therefore you get a you get a plus, you 1163 01:05:52.840 --> 01:05:53.599 get a blue star. 1164 01:05:53.639 --> 01:05:55.920 Attacked like they called him a midfielder. 1165 01:05:56.559 --> 01:06:00.639 Yeah, yeah, uh imprecision contributed to the USA failure to 1166 01:06:00.679 --> 01:06:04.119 turn possession into scoring threats. In the first half, forged 1167 01:06:04.159 --> 01:06:06.360 forward more than usual, storm through the penalty area to 1168 01:06:06.360 --> 01:06:08.599 finish Poliitic's low cross for the first US goal to 1169 01:06:08.639 --> 01:06:11.920 Pochettino Era Unice gets Unice. Mussi gets a seven. I'm 1170 01:06:11.920 --> 01:06:15.360 guessing because he scored. Bucio got a five, Aiden Morris 1171 01:06:15.440 --> 01:06:16.199 got a six. 1172 01:06:16.840 --> 01:06:18.960 That's a little harsh for Bussio. I would have given 1173 01:06:19.000 --> 01:06:20.760 both he and Morris a sixth. I thought they were 1174 01:06:20.760 --> 01:06:27.199 both like above average. I thought Morris had some turnovers 1175 01:06:27.199 --> 01:06:32.519 that were not great. But I think the issue here 1176 01:06:32.679 --> 01:06:34.840 is and we'll get to the next guy, as you 1177 01:06:34.880 --> 01:06:41.760 had Aaronson also in this midfield kind of Amiba and 1178 01:06:42.159 --> 01:06:48.119 outside of Musa. Right, none of those three guys, Busio, Morris, 1179 01:06:48.320 --> 01:06:53.239 Aronson have proven to be a real driver for the 1180 01:06:53.320 --> 01:06:55.639 US men's national team. Right, there are a lot of 1181 01:06:55.679 --> 01:06:58.239 guys who are really good passengers, right. They might be 1182 01:06:58.320 --> 01:07:01.519 your shotgun rider, great navigation, might be the backseat writer, 1183 01:07:01.679 --> 01:07:04.639 great at distributing snacks, but they're not the guy driving 1184 01:07:04.639 --> 01:07:08.079 you to the destination. And you know, I think you 1185 01:07:08.119 --> 01:07:10.519 can trust Moosa to gets you there. But most of 1186 01:07:10.519 --> 01:07:12.639 the other guys haven't proven that with the national team, 1187 01:07:12.679 --> 01:07:16.119 and they didn't prove anything to that extent. But that's 1188 01:07:16.119 --> 01:07:18.119 not a bad thing. They proved competent, and I think 1189 01:07:18.119 --> 01:07:20.840 that's kind of the positive. Is okay, Well, if you 1190 01:07:20.880 --> 01:07:25.039 add them with a McKenzie, right, or McKinney, excuse me, 1191 01:07:25.199 --> 01:07:27.000 if you add them with Wes McKinney. If you add 1192 01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:30.159 them maybe with Goo Rena who comes back healthy. You know, 1193 01:07:31.079 --> 01:07:33.360 if they're a piece of the midfield, great, But all 1194 01:07:33.360 --> 01:07:36.119 three of those together, those guys just it didn't really 1195 01:07:36.719 --> 01:07:37.559 work all that well. 1196 01:07:38.159 --> 01:07:44.039 Forwards Josh Sergeant, Brendan Aaronson, and Christian Polisic. Policic gets 1197 01:07:44.039 --> 01:07:50.360 a seven. Brendan Aronson gets a five. Josh Sergeant was 1198 01:07:50.400 --> 01:07:52.800 stripped to the ball when Bucio found him at the 1199 01:07:52.840 --> 01:07:54.599 top of the penalty are your prime chance came in 1200 01:07:54.599 --> 01:07:57.039 the forty second Busio fed a eight yards out, Sergeant 1201 01:07:57.039 --> 01:07:59.920 ski the ball over the crossbar. I think it landed 1202 01:08:00.159 --> 01:08:05.320 dk R and Sergeant did better with his. 1203 01:08:06.280 --> 01:08:07.079 The race course there. 1204 01:08:07.119 --> 01:08:11.039 John yeah, out by the airport, did better with his 1205 01:08:11.039 --> 01:08:12.719 first shot of the second half, forcing his save with 1206 01:08:12.719 --> 01:08:18.600 a seventeen yard shot. The our friends at Soccer America, 1207 01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:22.239 and it was woy Tala who authored the piece, gave 1208 01:08:22.319 --> 01:08:23.079 him a three. 1209 01:08:26.840 --> 01:08:27.039 You know. 1210 01:08:27.479 --> 01:08:30.359 That's like, that's like being in the That's like being 1211 01:08:30.479 --> 01:08:33.840 in the backseat of the car and opening up the 1212 01:08:33.920 --> 01:08:37.159 cooler and realizing that on the drive that you didn't 1213 01:08:37.199 --> 01:08:40.359 hit the ziplock bag correctly and all the sandwiches because 1214 01:08:40.399 --> 01:08:43.399 they were on top of ice, got all mushy. That 1215 01:08:43.439 --> 01:08:44.680 would be a three for me. 1216 01:08:46.000 --> 01:08:49.119 Yeah, I don't think a three is worth is what 1217 01:08:49.199 --> 01:08:53.079 he deserved. But I don't think he was close to average. 1218 01:08:53.239 --> 01:08:54.600 Let's put it that way. I would have put him 1219 01:08:54.600 --> 01:08:57.439 at a five or four maybe, But you know, I 1220 01:08:57.479 --> 01:08:59.640 think this is the struggle with Josh Sergeant is the 1221 01:08:59.720 --> 01:09:03.039 dude hasn't scored in like ten years for the national team. 1222 01:09:03.039 --> 01:09:07.600 It feels like, yeah, and despite everyone thinking he is 1223 01:09:08.359 --> 01:09:10.800 the guy who should be starting. I mean even with Baligan, 1224 01:09:10.840 --> 01:09:12.920 people are like, well, I don't know, Sergeant, he just 1225 01:09:13.000 --> 01:09:18.880 continues to get chances and doesn't get anything from him, 1226 01:09:18.960 --> 01:09:22.199 you know, And we've talked about this ad nauseum onto 1227 01:09:22.239 --> 01:09:27.680 my podcast that you know, strikers need to be more 1228 01:09:27.720 --> 01:09:30.520 involved with this national team. They don't score enough, they 1229 01:09:30.520 --> 01:09:31.560 don't get involved enough. 1230 01:09:31.640 --> 01:09:31.800 You know. 1231 01:09:31.840 --> 01:09:36.000 He did have nineteen total touches, five in the penalty area. 1232 01:09:36.800 --> 01:09:40.359 That's good, right, that's a decent number. But at the 1233 01:09:40.439 --> 01:09:43.560 end of the day, what are we doing with those opportunities? 1234 01:09:43.600 --> 01:09:46.960 And when you not only miss your one good chance 1235 01:09:47.000 --> 01:09:51.600 but never find yourself in other good chances. I think 1236 01:09:51.640 --> 01:09:54.319 his next best chance was like a corner kick or 1237 01:09:54.359 --> 01:09:57.239 across the goal that the goalkeeper punched away, right, he 1238 01:09:57.359 --> 01:10:00.680 just happened to be close to it. Oh yeah, Look, 1239 01:10:00.760 --> 01:10:03.680 strikers rely on service. Strikers rely on other players around 1240 01:10:03.720 --> 01:10:05.920 them to get them the ball. But it's also your 1241 01:10:05.960 --> 01:10:09.319 job as a striker to put yourself in better positions 1242 01:10:09.359 --> 01:10:11.479 to receive the ball and then play the ball off 1243 01:10:11.520 --> 01:10:15.039 of you. And I think Sergeant just continues to not 1244 01:10:15.159 --> 01:10:17.000 be able to do that for one reason or the other. 1245 01:10:17.199 --> 01:10:19.439 It doesn't help when the other guy scores, by the way. 1246 01:10:19.399 --> 01:10:23.800 No, no, And I'd love to know who it was 1247 01:10:24.159 --> 01:10:27.039 in the State of Texas Chamber of Commerce or the 1248 01:10:27.079 --> 01:10:30.399 city of Austin didn't get together with the schedule makers 1249 01:10:30.399 --> 01:10:33.079 and have folks understand that when you have a Formula 1250 01:10:33.119 --> 01:10:37.279 One race the same weekend as Georgia, Texas, that might 1251 01:10:37.359 --> 01:10:41.199 be great for the economy, but when you're trying to 1252 01:10:41.239 --> 01:10:45.359 find places to stay and trying to actually function in 1253 01:10:45.399 --> 01:10:48.319 that town, that ain't the best thing to do. No. 1254 01:10:48.640 --> 01:10:51.640 By a family tried to go up to Austin this 1255 01:10:51.720 --> 01:10:53.840 year for the Georgia Texas game, and my parents are 1256 01:10:53.880 --> 01:10:56.199 even going to RV it, so, you know, not looking 1257 01:10:56.239 --> 01:10:58.479 at that, but even flights into an out of Austin 1258 01:10:59.199 --> 01:11:01.439 or crazy Austin. By the way, talk about a city 1259 01:11:01.479 --> 01:11:04.840 that needs a revamp of their airport, Bergs Airport itself 1260 01:11:04.920 --> 01:11:07.920 is nice. Yeah, that needs to be about three times bigger. 1261 01:11:08.479 --> 01:11:09.039 Yeah it does. 1262 01:11:09.159 --> 01:11:11.439 Wait, I know they're building a new terminal, but holy crap. 1263 01:11:11.840 --> 01:11:15.920 You know it's when Columbus, Ohio has a bigger airport 1264 01:11:15.960 --> 01:11:16.279 than you do. 1265 01:11:17.079 --> 01:11:20.319 Yeah, and Columbus has a better soccer team in Major 1266 01:11:20.359 --> 01:11:24.319 League Soccer, but that's another discussion entirely. Uh subs Tanner, 1267 01:11:24.359 --> 01:11:28.119 Tessaman and Christopher Lung got fives, Hodgi Wright and Malick 1268 01:11:28.199 --> 01:11:30.840 Tilman got six's. Peppy as a sub got a seven. 1269 01:11:31.000 --> 01:11:34.399 Alexandaehouse got our incomplete because of the lack of minutes 1270 01:11:34.880 --> 01:11:37.600 victory into the four game winless streak, USA's longest since 1271 01:11:37.600 --> 01:11:40.000 twenty two, and it went winless for five, one loss 1272 01:11:40.000 --> 01:11:43.279 and four draws. USA had lost their two previous games 1273 01:11:43.279 --> 01:11:45.880 to Panama two won it last Summer's Copa and in 1274 01:11:46.000 --> 01:11:47.880 a shootout after a one to one draw the twenty 1275 01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:51.199 three World Cup. That is where we are when it 1276 01:11:51.239 --> 01:11:54.960 comes to your subs and everybody who played in the 1277 01:11:55.000 --> 01:11:55.600 two nil one. 1278 01:11:56.520 --> 01:11:59.239 Yeah, first off, I forgot that the US played. Thank 1279 01:11:59.239 --> 01:12:03.800 you for reminding me that. Oh yeah he did. I 1280 01:12:03.840 --> 01:12:05.640 guess he was secondly on the field when the goals scored, 1281 01:12:05.680 --> 01:12:09.920 So good for him, you know. I think overall, like 1282 01:12:09.960 --> 01:12:12.880 I said, this was a team that performed slightly better 1283 01:12:12.880 --> 01:12:17.840 than average. The win itself is just the positive here 1284 01:12:17.880 --> 01:12:21.279 because as you just ran through, not only did we 1285 01:12:21.319 --> 01:12:23.760 have a long losing streak or winless streak, I should 1286 01:12:23.800 --> 01:12:29.800 say we've also only won like one match since last March, 1287 01:12:30.039 --> 01:12:33.920 right or since this March right that the Bolivia match. Okay, great, 1288 01:12:33.960 --> 01:12:39.000 you beat Bolivia, I don't know, They're not a good 1289 01:12:39.039 --> 01:12:43.239 soccer team. John, So you know when you had lost 1290 01:12:43.279 --> 01:12:46.680 to Columbia so badly, Yes, you tied Brazil, you still 1291 01:12:46.720 --> 01:12:49.439 don't win. Sure you can beat Bolivia, and then you 1292 01:12:49.439 --> 01:12:54.840 know you losed Panama on away Canada New Zealand, Like 1293 01:12:56.079 --> 01:12:57.840 that was a skid you needed to break out of. 1294 01:12:58.000 --> 01:13:02.159 Now the problem is as we turned the page to Mexico. 1295 01:13:05.079 --> 01:13:06.960 I mean Mexico has their own issues right now. I 1296 01:13:06.960 --> 01:13:10.560 mean they've lost to who they play severe Valencia or 1297 01:13:10.600 --> 01:13:13.119 one of those Lalliga teams I think was playing a 1298 01:13:13.199 --> 01:13:14.039 first choice land up. 1299 01:13:14.239 --> 01:13:18.279 Yeah, and they are they are in fact part issue US. 1300 01:13:18.399 --> 01:13:22.119 You are correct, Yeah, yeah, they they they gave up 1301 01:13:22.119 --> 01:13:24.079 a two goal lead and ended up tying to to 1302 01:13:25.159 --> 01:13:30.520 Not great from LG. But for the US, look, you 1303 01:13:30.560 --> 01:13:33.159 get the gwin. That is that is the positive because 1304 01:13:33.199 --> 01:13:37.760 again you you do need the positive reinforcement of the 1305 01:13:37.800 --> 01:13:42.640 work that Poch put in for this week that said, 1306 01:13:43.720 --> 01:13:48.119 if you expected a lot of grand changes and immediate 1307 01:13:48.840 --> 01:13:52.359 you know, flips of the switch, that wasn't gonna happen 1308 01:13:52.399 --> 01:13:55.680 because Paccino and Berhalter are not that far apart, right, 1309 01:13:55.720 --> 01:13:59.399 They're their coaching style there, U excuse me, they're playing 1310 01:13:59.479 --> 01:14:03.520 style the philosophies about how the game is played. What 1311 01:14:03.640 --> 01:14:08.760 we did see I think is multiple times throughout the 1312 01:14:08.760 --> 01:14:12.760 match Pochettino urging the team to just play a little 1313 01:14:12.760 --> 01:14:16.680 bit quicker and move the ball a little bit better. 1314 01:14:17.760 --> 01:14:20.399 And that was something that you know, we had fallen 1315 01:14:20.439 --> 01:14:23.279 into a lull under the Burholter tenure in the second 1316 01:14:23.520 --> 01:14:28.000 you know, era two point zero Burholter is the horseshoe passed. 1317 01:14:28.039 --> 01:14:30.000 I mean it looked very pinatea ballish right where there 1318 01:14:30.039 --> 01:14:31.720 was a lot of passing with no actual intent to 1319 01:14:31.720 --> 01:14:34.000 do anything with it. And in this match, you know, 1320 01:14:34.079 --> 01:14:37.520 you could see Pochettino signaling to try to do something 1321 01:14:37.600 --> 01:14:41.800 with the ball because you know that the goal. I 1322 01:14:41.840 --> 01:14:44.479 don't know if you know this, John, the goal of soccer, 1323 01:14:45.000 --> 01:14:48.920 the sport is to put the ball in the opponent's net. 1324 01:14:49.720 --> 01:14:51.720 That's that's the whole point, right, do that more times 1325 01:14:51.760 --> 01:14:55.079 than they do it to you, huh. And in order 1326 01:14:55.119 --> 01:14:57.560 to do that, it does help to have the ball 1327 01:14:58.600 --> 01:15:02.039 on their opponent's half and maybe close to their goal 1328 01:15:02.119 --> 01:15:05.119 on occasion. So that is I think the one thing 1329 01:15:05.119 --> 01:15:06.880 that I saw a difference of there was also some 1330 01:15:07.319 --> 01:15:10.560 more central combo play rather than just get it wide 1331 01:15:10.560 --> 01:15:12.319 and cross it in, which was another problem with the 1332 01:15:12.319 --> 01:15:16.720 Burholter strategy at the end. And so from those two 1333 01:15:16.840 --> 01:15:21.720 things right there, it did look better. And again against 1334 01:15:21.760 --> 01:15:24.159 the team in Panama that had been a problem for 1335 01:15:24.199 --> 01:15:27.319 this program for a while now. 1336 01:15:28.079 --> 01:15:31.439 All right, so ropes with a question who had the 1337 01:15:31.439 --> 01:15:33.720 best look Saturday? You liked that Bussia was playing. 1338 01:15:34.359 --> 01:15:37.520 Uh who had the best look? Peppy because he scored 1339 01:15:37.560 --> 01:15:42.520 and Sergeant didn't. And now Peppy is going home, which 1340 01:15:42.600 --> 01:15:43.840 I'm a little upset about. 1341 01:15:43.880 --> 01:15:45.600 And that's the That's the next thing I want to 1342 01:15:45.640 --> 01:15:47.600 get into topic wise, but we keep going. 1343 01:15:48.680 --> 01:15:51.039 No, I thought bousy again, I thought all those midfielders, 1344 01:15:51.199 --> 01:15:54.319 to me, outside of Aaronson, proved that they are able 1345 01:15:54.399 --> 01:15:58.680 to play in the midfield with other players who are 1346 01:15:58.680 --> 01:16:02.079 better than them. But as a combo that midfield was 1347 01:16:02.159 --> 01:16:06.199 not superb and it's not going to get better on 1348 01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:09.399 It's Tuesday, so that's concerning. 1349 01:16:10.319 --> 01:16:13.359 Abby was surprised to hear about that. The player said 1350 01:16:13.399 --> 01:16:15.359 it was the first time that they'd had a US 1351 01:16:15.520 --> 01:16:18.439 M and T practice. It was two hours in the 1352 01:16:18.479 --> 01:16:21.680 time that they had been on the national team, and 1353 01:16:21.720 --> 01:16:23.760 Abby's like, really they never had a practice it was 1354 01:16:23.800 --> 01:16:24.600 two hours long. 1355 01:16:25.439 --> 01:16:29.119 Well, no, I mean I think that's kind of a 1356 01:16:29.359 --> 01:16:32.039 I don't maybe two hours is probably the most you'll 1357 01:16:32.039 --> 01:16:33.880 get in a club training session, but like when you 1358 01:16:33.920 --> 01:16:36.720 get to the national teams, you have to remember, you 1359 01:16:36.760 --> 01:16:39.600 get in on a Monday, and you play that Friday 1360 01:16:39.680 --> 01:16:44.000 or Saturday, right sometimes Thursday. Yeah, so you don't have 1361 01:16:44.039 --> 01:16:47.279 a whole lot of actual training time, and you certainly 1362 01:16:47.279 --> 01:16:50.479 then don't have a whole lot of recovery time. And 1363 01:16:50.520 --> 01:16:53.239 that's the thing that I think, you know, people don't 1364 01:16:53.239 --> 01:16:56.720 want to factor in a look if you think all 1365 01:16:56.720 --> 01:16:58.560 they're doing is going out there and kicking a ball 1366 01:16:58.600 --> 01:17:00.960 for two hours, which one is not what happens. You're 1367 01:17:00.960 --> 01:17:03.319 not kicking a ball and doing soccer for two hours. 1368 01:17:03.359 --> 01:17:05.239 You're doing a whole lot of things within the two 1369 01:17:05.239 --> 01:17:08.800 hours on the field. Right from what I also could 1370 01:17:08.840 --> 01:17:11.119 infer from a lot of these is yes, it was intense, 1371 01:17:11.159 --> 01:17:13.359 and yes there was a lot of training going on 1372 01:17:13.479 --> 01:17:17.039 during the two hour training time. It seemed like Pochettino 1373 01:17:17.119 --> 01:17:20.600 was also stopping and explaining, maybe not fully, but like 1374 01:17:20.720 --> 01:17:24.079 pulling players aside and having conversations. So I think it 1375 01:17:24.119 --> 01:17:29.439 was more of a two hour installation session and two 1376 01:17:29.479 --> 01:17:35.920 hour how do I also say this because all these 1377 01:17:35.960 --> 01:17:41.199 coaches have their own types of training exercises too, right, 1378 01:17:41.640 --> 01:17:44.600 And so I mean that quote came out what on Tuesday. 1379 01:17:44.640 --> 01:17:45.640 I think maybe we're not. 1380 01:17:45.680 --> 01:17:48.239 Running, you're not running around for a full two hours, but. 1381 01:17:48.159 --> 01:17:51.680 It is right, and you're probably going through the motions 1382 01:17:51.760 --> 01:17:55.039 and understanding, Okay, this is this training exercise, this is 1383 01:17:55.039 --> 01:17:56.920 what we want to do, this is what the mechanics 1384 01:17:56.920 --> 01:17:59.520 of it, this is why we're doing it, this is 1385 01:17:59.520 --> 01:18:04.680 how it applies in game. So I understand why that 1386 01:18:04.800 --> 01:18:08.880 quote got a lot of Look, two hours is a 1387 01:18:09.000 --> 01:18:13.359 very long time for a training session, especially at the 1388 01:18:13.479 --> 01:18:17.880 national team level, where your recovery windows are shortened and 1389 01:18:17.920 --> 01:18:21.039 your actual training availability is short and you just don't 1390 01:18:21.039 --> 01:18:23.600 want to run guys ragged. I don't think we saw 1391 01:18:23.680 --> 01:18:25.640 that on Saturday. But you know, I'm just saying that 1392 01:18:25.960 --> 01:18:30.079 the two hour thing is a little overblown. I promise 1393 01:18:30.159 --> 01:18:32.880 you most guys aren't. Most teams aren't out there actually 1394 01:18:32.880 --> 01:18:36.039 training for two hours. You can ask I'm sure you 1395 01:18:36.079 --> 01:18:38.600 can ask Jason when you guys have watches Atlanta United. 1396 01:18:38.760 --> 01:18:41.399 You know, yes, it may be two hours, but it's 1397 01:18:41.439 --> 01:18:44.000 not you're not playing a full game. 1398 01:18:44.520 --> 01:18:47.600 Yank running around for a full two You're you're you're 1399 01:18:47.640 --> 01:18:50.000 you're doing a lot of Yeah, you're like you're you're 1400 01:18:50.000 --> 01:18:52.439 doing a lot of walking with like funny movements in it. 1401 01:18:52.920 --> 01:18:56.720 You're getting you're getting instruction. Yeah, you're being told, okay, 1402 01:18:56.800 --> 01:18:58.520 you need to move over, and then you walk over 1403 01:18:58.560 --> 01:18:59.960 to that spot. It's there. 1404 01:19:00.199 --> 01:19:04.279 There's the first ten to twenty minutes or like high knees, 1405 01:19:04.319 --> 01:19:06.560 like you know what I'm saying, Like it's that kind 1406 01:19:06.600 --> 01:19:08.600 of stuff handball. 1407 01:19:09.600 --> 01:19:11.720 When I mentioned Jason hates so when I mentioned toe 1408 01:19:11.760 --> 01:19:13.640 touchies and things like that, But I mean. 1409 01:19:13.880 --> 01:19:18.000 Listen, dynamic stretching and activations and all these things they 1410 01:19:18.000 --> 01:19:18.800 happen on the field. 1411 01:19:18.800 --> 01:19:19.119 They don't. 1412 01:19:19.239 --> 01:19:20.960 You don't just come show up and be like all right, 1413 01:19:21.000 --> 01:19:23.199 I'm ready. I mean, like I said, we used to 1414 01:19:23.199 --> 01:19:25.239 play handball in college half the time as a warm 1415 01:19:25.279 --> 01:19:26.920 up because it was just like a fun way to 1416 01:19:27.039 --> 01:19:30.279 like get your body moving right, and yeah, we'd play 1417 01:19:30.319 --> 01:19:33.319 that for ten minutes and then start kicking the ball around. 1418 01:19:34.520 --> 01:19:40.760 Yeah, that reminds me. Separate sidebar, how is how has 1419 01:19:41.039 --> 01:19:46.319 Leonora Ryan navigated Helene? How are things from what you 1420 01:19:46.359 --> 01:19:47.720 know up campus. 1421 01:19:47.319 --> 01:19:51.000 So I know campus and Hickory is was mostly fine. 1422 01:19:51.039 --> 01:19:55.840 They lost power for obvious reasons, but Hickory itself was 1423 01:19:55.960 --> 01:20:00.199 pretty good. Now, like every county that touches Kataba to 1424 01:20:00.319 --> 01:20:03.439 the north and west, we're not good. I think maybe 1425 01:20:03.479 --> 01:20:06.680 Alexander County was okay but probably should have been washed away. 1426 01:20:07.880 --> 01:20:11.880 But like you had Wataga and Leonore that I look 1427 01:20:12.159 --> 01:20:15.079 Watagaan called, well, that got a little bad obviously. Wataggan 1428 01:20:15.159 --> 01:20:18.199 is where Boone is an app state. You talked to 1429 01:20:18.239 --> 01:20:23.000 Lees McCray up in Avery County. Beautiful campus. Shout out 1430 01:20:23.039 --> 01:20:26.159 to Kelly who's the women's team coach there. She was 1431 01:20:26.199 --> 01:20:27.840 the assistant coach at l R and I saw her 1432 01:20:27.880 --> 01:20:29.359 over the summer for an ODP event. 1433 01:20:30.560 --> 01:20:32.880 We we are, by the way, catching up with Taylor 1434 01:20:32.920 --> 01:20:34.960 Morton at some point early here in the week to 1435 01:20:34.960 --> 01:20:36.079 get a Lee's McCray update. 1436 01:20:36.159 --> 01:20:39.920 Good because they were much more effective than Hickory. The 1437 01:20:39.960 --> 01:20:42.760 Ashville campus that opened, I think last week. We have 1438 01:20:42.800 --> 01:20:47.680 a Ashville campus. Well, we have a office building in Ashville. 1439 01:20:47.680 --> 01:20:51.479 I think it's probably the campus, but that has been reopened. 1440 01:20:52.479 --> 01:20:55.439 But I don't know what class looks like right now. 1441 01:20:55.520 --> 01:21:00.000 But Hickory itself has been pretty pretty good. The whole 1442 01:21:00.079 --> 01:21:01.720 lean issues. 1443 01:21:02.039 --> 01:21:05.439 Okay, because our friends at Hickory FC, if you are 1444 01:21:05.479 --> 01:21:09.439 so inclined, they do have a fundraiser going for the 1445 01:21:09.479 --> 01:21:11.079 eight to eight and Hickory. 1446 01:21:10.760 --> 01:21:14.359 Has kind of turned into, to be quite honest, a 1447 01:21:14.399 --> 01:21:17.960 good dumping point, loading point maybe if you will, for 1448 01:21:18.199 --> 01:21:21.399 a lot of the relief efforts, because it's one if 1449 01:21:21.439 --> 01:21:25.319 you don't know, there's an airport in Hickory, and Hickory 1450 01:21:25.399 --> 01:21:30.760 itself is again pretty pretty okay. Again, they lost power, 1451 01:21:30.760 --> 01:21:33.960 there were trees down, but nothing major for the flooding. 1452 01:21:34.600 --> 01:21:36.880 The major river that Hickory is on the is the 1453 01:21:36.960 --> 01:21:39.439 Cataba and it's one damned at Lake Hickory. And two 1454 01:21:40.439 --> 01:21:42.960 it's a big river, so you know, it's not overflowing 1455 01:21:43.000 --> 01:21:45.560 like a lot of the small streams and creeks in 1456 01:21:45.600 --> 01:21:49.159 the highland the high country. So Hickory mostly okay. 1457 01:21:49.439 --> 01:21:53.399 Yeah, let's see. So I caught up with mcgierdano. They 1458 01:21:53.399 --> 01:21:57.239 have relocated to Charlotte, I believe, and so that's where 1459 01:21:57.359 --> 01:22:02.079 that's where soccer is. The other school the other programs 1460 01:22:02.119 --> 01:22:05.199 on campus or at various other locations, but they have relocated. 1461 01:22:06.000 --> 01:22:11.760 Others have relocated North to Fareham and Virginia. So yeah, 1462 01:22:11.760 --> 01:22:14.239 we're going to catch up with We're gonna catch up 1463 01:22:14.279 --> 01:22:16.560 with Taylor at Lee's McCrae hopefully early part of the week, 1464 01:22:16.600 --> 01:22:19.920 and we'll get an update with what's going on up there. Okay, 1465 01:22:20.000 --> 01:22:25.840 So back from the sidebar, we have players who were 1466 01:22:26.039 --> 01:22:29.800 rostered that are not going to be a part of 1467 01:22:29.920 --> 01:22:35.239 your Double Jeopardy game in Mexico coming up this week. 1468 01:22:35.800 --> 01:22:38.960 Christian Polisic, who got the assist, returned to ac Milan 1469 01:22:39.039 --> 01:22:41.760 for what was termed load management. I feel like I 1470 01:22:41.800 --> 01:22:47.560 need some kind of ominous background reverb there. Fosse Fosse, 1471 01:22:47.640 --> 01:22:51.800 Fosse Fosse, McKinney, Peppy, and Stephan returned to their teams 1472 01:22:51.840 --> 01:22:54.680 with minor injuries. Peppy was the only player who played 1473 01:22:54.680 --> 01:22:58.000 against Panama. Say that ten times fast. No players have 1474 01:22:58.079 --> 01:23:03.239 been added to the squad. The twenty available for Tuesday's 1475 01:23:03.239 --> 01:23:09.720 match Horror Vast Sheltie, Turner, Lund m Mackenzie, Reem, Jedi, Miles, 1476 01:23:09.880 --> 01:23:17.000 Scally and Trusty defense Aaronson, Busio, Morris Musa, Tessaman Tillman 1477 01:23:17.079 --> 01:23:21.600 in the midfield, and only four forwards Sergeant Vasquez, Hodgie 1478 01:23:21.600 --> 01:23:23.720 Wright and Alex endhas. 1479 01:23:23.720 --> 01:23:28.039 Which is concerning because, uh, where are wingers? 1480 01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:30.640 You know? 1481 01:23:30.800 --> 01:23:32.680 Does that means that Telman and Aaron Cent are out 1482 01:23:32.680 --> 01:23:35.319 for the winger position especially? I don't know if I 1483 01:23:35.319 --> 01:23:38.399 trust alex and dehas to start for a national team, 1484 01:23:38.920 --> 01:23:42.119 let alone start in Mexico. But I do like the 1485 01:23:42.159 --> 01:23:48.039 idea of Brandon Vasquez starting in Mexico and scoring against Mexico. 1486 01:23:48.319 --> 01:23:50.359 You just like you, just like Irony, that's all. 1487 01:23:51.479 --> 01:23:52.720 I like justice? 1488 01:23:55.199 --> 01:24:01.319 Okay. Oh, so you have the former Major League Soccer 1489 01:24:01.359 --> 01:24:04.000 player now playing in Liga MX who could have played 1490 01:24:04.039 --> 01:24:06.600 for one national team and is playing for the national 1491 01:24:06.600 --> 01:24:10.560 team that's going to be visiting on tomorrow. So so 1492 01:24:10.760 --> 01:24:13.920 the the circular logic that seems to be attached here 1493 01:24:15.039 --> 01:24:16.920 is the intriguing part of all of this. But you 1494 01:24:16.920 --> 01:24:18.960 you like justice, sir? Okay? 1495 01:24:20.199 --> 01:24:23.119 All right? I do you know? And I think again 1496 01:24:23.680 --> 01:24:25.720 a chance here for some of these guys. I mean, 1497 01:24:25.840 --> 01:24:29.079 Sindjas has vast guys, has at least done enough to 1498 01:24:29.119 --> 01:24:31.399 convince me that he belongs in the discussion for the 1499 01:24:31.439 --> 01:24:38.560 national team. Zendejas has been he needs to start proving himself. 1500 01:24:38.640 --> 01:24:40.640 You know, it's not enough to just be friends with 1501 01:24:40.920 --> 01:24:44.000 Christian politic. You do need to start actually performing on 1502 01:24:44.039 --> 01:24:48.079 the field in order for us to trust you. 1503 01:24:49.319 --> 01:24:57.439 Okay, what is your what what is your vibe? Since 1504 01:24:57.479 --> 01:25:00.600 this is a ViBe's based economy, with your double with 1505 01:25:00.680 --> 01:25:04.520 your double Jeopardy game, your double points match as you 1506 01:25:04.800 --> 01:25:08.119 as you have it registered here in trying to move 1507 01:25:08.239 --> 01:25:11.119 up the standings in conky CAF, what is your vibe 1508 01:25:11.159 --> 01:25:12.760 heading into this match with Mexico. 1509 01:25:14.680 --> 01:25:21.000 Well, look, I think the unfortunate reality is us is 1510 01:25:21.039 --> 01:25:25.680 at a great disadvantage and facing the possibility of losing 1511 01:25:25.720 --> 01:25:30.079 to Mexico for the first time and oh a long 1512 01:25:30.119 --> 01:25:35.840 time since twenty nineteen, I think. So you don't love that, right, 1513 01:25:36.800 --> 01:25:40.279 but you also understand all the circumstances around it. So 1514 01:25:41.279 --> 01:25:43.760 if you lose, if you go down to Mexico and 1515 01:25:43.760 --> 01:25:47.039 you lose, it's not great, right, but you also have 1516 01:25:47.079 --> 01:25:49.560 a chance to at least get a draw. Mexico is 1517 01:25:49.560 --> 01:25:51.840 not a very good team. They're you know, they had 1518 01:25:51.840 --> 01:25:54.239 a very bad last match against a club team that 1519 01:25:54.640 --> 01:26:01.079 again you know was not old boy boy. And you 1520 01:26:01.119 --> 01:26:03.640 know now is the time where again you have a 1521 01:26:03.720 --> 01:26:07.279 new head coach, so you already have the pressure of 1522 01:26:07.359 --> 01:26:11.279 making yourself known to this new coach, earning that trust 1523 01:26:11.359 --> 01:26:13.640 of the new coach and showing that you belong here. 1524 01:26:14.479 --> 01:26:16.399 On top of that, you have a lot of guys 1525 01:26:16.399 --> 01:26:23.000 who wouldn't normally be ginning opportunities to start, right. I mean, look, 1526 01:26:23.079 --> 01:26:27.359 Tanner Testament, John Lucapusio are not close to starting pecking 1527 01:26:27.439 --> 01:26:30.199 order in this national team. But with all the injuries 1528 01:26:30.199 --> 01:26:32.520 and players who had to go home, now they're looking 1529 01:26:32.560 --> 01:26:36.359 at being starters and how do they show up in 1530 01:26:36.399 --> 01:26:39.039 a game that means a whole lot. I mean, it's 1531 01:26:39.039 --> 01:26:44.079 the number one rivalry in North America for a number 1532 01:26:44.079 --> 01:26:47.079 of reasons. And you know we have not played. We 1533 01:26:47.119 --> 01:26:49.039 don't play on the road often in friendly, so we 1534 01:26:49.119 --> 01:26:53.600 know this. And now you get a chance to play 1535 01:26:53.600 --> 01:26:57.079 in Mexico in a friendly for the first time in 1536 01:26:58.159 --> 01:27:00.319 twelve years. 1537 01:27:00.720 --> 01:27:01.239 Mm hmmm. 1538 01:27:01.560 --> 01:27:03.319 Last time you did it, you won, so if you 1539 01:27:03.319 --> 01:27:05.840 want to continue to be part of history. And by 1540 01:27:05.880 --> 01:27:07.680 the way, that that time that we went down there 1541 01:27:07.720 --> 01:27:10.600 and won was not with a strong eleven or a 1542 01:27:10.680 --> 01:27:13.039 strong squad either. I mean, brecksha was probably the best 1543 01:27:13.039 --> 01:27:16.720 player on the team that that that squad, which yeah, 1544 01:27:16.760 --> 01:27:20.560 Breckshay greatest player of all time I think in US, sir, 1545 01:27:22.039 --> 01:27:30.239 But you know it's it definitely is. It's a good 1546 01:27:30.560 --> 01:27:36.319 chance to prove that you belong, that you have what 1547 01:27:36.439 --> 01:27:38.359 it takes to be part of the men's national team 1548 01:27:38.439 --> 01:27:41.000 because part of being the men a part of being 1549 01:27:41.079 --> 01:27:43.600 a part of the men's national team at this point 1550 01:27:43.600 --> 01:27:45.319 in time is beating Mexico. 1551 01:27:45.560 --> 01:27:50.399 Yes, okay, no that is that is not open for 1552 01:27:50.479 --> 01:27:53.079 a debate. No that I'm right there with the beat Mexico. 1553 01:27:53.199 --> 01:27:57.199 You know, yeah, you got you gotta beat Mexico. All right, So, uh, 1554 01:27:57.800 --> 01:28:00.960 thoughts plans all that kind of stuff, obviously with the 1555 01:28:01.000 --> 01:28:07.640 match on Tuesday, sir, Let's see, So what are you 1556 01:28:07.720 --> 01:28:09.119 up to Thursday morning? 1557 01:28:11.239 --> 01:28:15.600 Well, I'll be in the office working is that I know? 1558 01:28:15.920 --> 01:28:19.000 Come on, man, But Friday am at home? 1559 01:28:19.399 --> 01:28:20.960 Okay, So then do you want to you want to 1560 01:28:21.000 --> 01:28:22.399 come back on, you want to bet lead off on 1561 01:28:22.439 --> 01:28:25.960 Friday ago, so we can put a bow on everything, 1562 01:28:26.000 --> 01:28:28.399 all right. So this is what we call live scheduling. 1563 01:28:28.439 --> 01:28:31.560 So Bart is going to look at Mexico, and so 1564 01:28:31.600 --> 01:28:33.479 Bart's going to come on and bet lead off on 1565 01:28:33.640 --> 01:28:36.319 Friday morning leading into beyond goals at nine thirty, and 1566 01:28:36.359 --> 01:28:41.239 we'll discuss the vibes based economy that is attached to 1567 01:28:41.960 --> 01:28:46.800 the US men's national team where you have drawn very 1568 01:28:47.119 --> 01:28:50.640 well drawn photos pictures of Marsha Puchatina with the word 1569 01:28:50.680 --> 01:28:51.640 believe underneath it. 1570 01:28:52.039 --> 01:28:56.039 Yeah, well look that's that's that's cool, right, Like I 1571 01:28:56.079 --> 01:28:59.680 mean that, I think that speaks to the vibes around 1572 01:28:59.680 --> 01:29:03.640 the too is there's just a lot of belief now 1573 01:29:03.680 --> 01:29:05.479 that we have a coach that we believe. 1574 01:29:05.199 --> 01:29:07.159 In vibes based economy. 1575 01:29:07.199 --> 01:29:09.359 That's what rock CAF is a vibe based economy. And 1576 01:29:09.359 --> 01:29:12.199 that's the thing. Right. The vibes are high for the US, 1577 01:29:12.279 --> 01:29:14.760 They're not high for Mexico. Right, those vibes go get 1578 01:29:14.800 --> 01:29:17.279 a win down in Mexico, and if you do that, John, 1579 01:29:17.760 --> 01:29:20.760 you're looking at leaping Canada in the concor capp standings. 1580 01:29:20.800 --> 01:29:24.760 I know we talked about this last week. If you 1581 01:29:24.800 --> 01:29:29.720 get two wins this friendly window, you're for leaping Canada, 1582 01:29:29.920 --> 01:29:34.439 like got to especially if you went in Mexico for sure. Yeah. 1583 01:29:34.600 --> 01:29:36.279 The other thing is John, I mean, I don't know 1584 01:29:36.279 --> 01:29:39.039 if you have talked about it, but real quick Nations 1585 01:29:39.079 --> 01:29:41.560 League ground up if you will let me. I don't 1586 01:29:41.560 --> 01:29:44.000 know if you talked about CONCACAFF Nations League. 1587 01:29:44.760 --> 01:29:45.000 Uh. 1588 01:29:45.640 --> 01:29:50.199 Interesting matchups coming up on Tuesday, right, League A, you 1589 01:29:50.239 --> 01:29:53.880 have the two teams that matter because top two teams 1590 01:29:53.960 --> 01:29:59.239 qualify for the the quarter finals. Yes, League A, Group 1591 01:29:59.239 --> 01:30:02.359 A Guatemala on seven points, Costa Rica after a draw, 1592 01:30:02.560 --> 01:30:06.119 serenaon on five points. You know who play. Those two 1593 01:30:06.159 --> 01:30:10.279 teams play each other on Tuesday. Then in Group B 1594 01:30:10.439 --> 01:30:13.399 Jamaica on seven points Honduras on six points. Those two 1595 01:30:13.439 --> 01:30:17.319 teams play each other on the final match day. So 1596 01:30:17.439 --> 01:30:20.680 that is some exciting stuff in the CONCA CAF Nations League. Again, 1597 01:30:20.720 --> 01:30:24.920 those teams that finish top top two in the groups 1598 01:30:25.079 --> 01:30:29.079 make the quarterfinals, and we'll be one of the four 1599 01:30:29.119 --> 01:30:31.239 opponents that the US could possibly be paired with. Whether 1600 01:30:31.239 --> 01:30:33.520 we're ranked two or three, who knows. 1601 01:30:34.039 --> 01:30:37.560 And yeah, so that for those of you that are 1602 01:30:37.560 --> 01:30:39.319 the true sickos, you could probably catch all of this 1603 01:30:39.399 --> 01:30:41.720 stuff on paramount Plus. We'll get into that you can. 1604 01:30:42.039 --> 01:30:44.039 Yes see, there you go. 1605 01:30:44.479 --> 01:30:50.079 Costa Rica host Guatemala and Jamaica host Honduras. So the 1606 01:30:50.159 --> 01:30:52.600 favorites do get the host in the final match day. 1607 01:30:52.640 --> 01:30:55.840 Costa Rica obviously with the draw and Surna on probably 1608 01:30:55.840 --> 01:30:58.720 not a deal. They do have to beat you know, 1609 01:30:58.800 --> 01:31:01.720 they do have to win at home against Guatemala, to 1610 01:31:02.520 --> 01:31:06.039 win the group, but I think any result pretty much 1611 01:31:06.039 --> 01:31:10.840 guarantees them as a path forward if I'm not mistaken. Yeah, yeah, 1612 01:31:10.920 --> 01:31:13.560 surn I'm with A with four points, they would have 1613 01:31:13.640 --> 01:31:16.479 to I guess, so Costa Rica. Yeah, you're in a 1614 01:31:16.520 --> 01:31:19.079 little trouble there. You do have to win at home 1615 01:31:19.119 --> 01:31:22.760 on the final match day to guarantee yourself a spot 1616 01:31:23.880 --> 01:31:26.479 in the nation's corner finals because Surnam hosts Guyana. 1617 01:31:26.760 --> 01:31:28.760 Mm hmm Guyana zero one and two. They've given me 1618 01:31:28.960 --> 01:31:30.279 rules in three matches, So. 1619 01:31:32.199 --> 01:31:35.399 Careful there, Costa Rica. Careful there. Talk about his program 1620 01:31:35.479 --> 01:31:37.359 that's kind of spiraled recently well. 1621 01:31:37.399 --> 01:31:41.520 But I also think that when Kayler Novice is no 1622 01:31:41.600 --> 01:31:45.239 longer in his mid to late thirties and he is 1623 01:31:45.279 --> 01:31:47.760 still again still a tremendous keeper. But obviously you want 1624 01:31:47.760 --> 01:31:51.399 to look in other directions when it comes to Costa 1625 01:31:51.439 --> 01:31:53.760 Rica and how you want to stack things as you 1626 01:31:53.840 --> 01:31:57.319 age out in your in your mind. So I think 1627 01:31:57.319 --> 01:32:01.680 that that would be intriguing. Yeah, yes, absolutely. Group B 1628 01:32:01.680 --> 01:32:05.760 by the way, Jamaica Honduras, and you end up with 1629 01:32:06.039 --> 01:32:10.880 Nicaragua playing French Guyana. So Nicaragua by the way, at 1630 01:32:10.880 --> 01:32:14.159 four points, if they win, then they go to seven. 1631 01:32:14.800 --> 01:32:17.560 Jamaica Honduras, Jamaica Honduras. 1632 01:32:18.159 --> 01:32:20.479 Yeah, Nicoawa not out of the not out of it. 1633 01:32:20.840 --> 01:32:22.520 But they do have to win. 1634 01:32:22.840 --> 01:32:24.920 Gets yeah, got I got some, I got some work 1635 01:32:24.960 --> 01:32:25.199 to do. 1636 01:32:25.359 --> 01:32:27.520 So and then they have to not just win, but 1637 01:32:27.600 --> 01:32:31.439 also hope that like you know, yeah, Jamaica Honduras TI there. 1638 01:32:32.600 --> 01:32:35.319 Yeah and then but yeah, Jamaica Honduras tie. Then Nick, 1639 01:32:35.439 --> 01:32:39.159 Nicaragua's out on goal difference because right now Honduras is 1640 01:32:39.159 --> 01:32:42.239 at plus four and Nicaragua is at minus one. So 1641 01:32:43.079 --> 01:32:45.720 for the true Sikos, uh, since you mentioned it, I'm 1642 01:32:45.720 --> 01:32:49.479 going to league c oh well, where. 1643 01:32:49.319 --> 01:32:49.680 Do we go? 1644 01:32:51.079 --> 01:32:56.920 Barbados, Bahamas, US Virgin Islands, believee, Anguila, Turks and Caicos, St. 1645 01:32:57.000 --> 01:32:59.880 Kittanivas Cayman's British Virgin Islands. That's the fun part. 1646 01:33:00.079 --> 01:33:03.359 Yeah, Barbados run, but Barbados running it up. Also Saint 1647 01:33:03.399 --> 01:33:06.439 Kitts and Belieze running it up. Good for them those 1648 01:33:06.640 --> 01:33:11.000 teams that does matter, they get automatic Oh crap, I 1649 01:33:11.039 --> 01:33:15.520 did promoted placements to the which notepad is the sign 1650 01:33:17.199 --> 01:33:20.680 play in and around, I want to say for Gold 1651 01:33:20.760 --> 01:33:23.479 Cup because we have a playing around, a preliminary around 1652 01:33:23.520 --> 01:33:25.840 and a group stage for Gold Cup next summer, and 1653 01:33:25.880 --> 01:33:28.479 we still don't even know if it's all sixteen CONCACAFF teams. John, 1654 01:33:29.279 --> 01:33:29.960 that's true. 1655 01:33:30.159 --> 01:33:32.600 I'm sure that there will probably be some guests, you know, 1656 01:33:32.800 --> 01:33:34.600 you know probably actually you know what they'll probably do 1657 01:33:34.680 --> 01:33:36.640 is they'll probably have Messi and Friends be a guest 1658 01:33:36.640 --> 01:33:42.479 team in concor CAF.

So I 1685 01:34:55.039 --> 01:34:55.800 think I did all right? 1686 01:34:56.079 --> 01:34:58.560 Yeah, yeah, don't think I didn't hear it either, brother, 1687 01:34:58.680 --> 01:35:00.680 Don't don't think I didn't nowhere it was.

But yeah, so if 1690 01:35:06.520 --> 01:35:10.119 you if you wish to uh multitask and actually try 1691 01:35:10.119 --> 01:35:11.920 and work and at the same time listen to what 1692 01:35:11.960 --> 01:35:12.880 we're going to talk about in. 1693 01:35:13.119 --> 01:35:15.359 From the time my work started blocking Twitch on my 1694 01:35:15.560 --> 01:35:18.600 on our network. So I can watch you on YouTube, ye, 1695 01:35:18.720 --> 01:35:21.880 well you can, yeah, harder for the the they don't 1696 01:35:22.000 --> 01:35:23.319 like all the comments that I leave. 1697 01:35:23.720 --> 01:35:27.279 Well, but well then you can also watch on Twitter 1698 01:35:27.319 --> 01:35:28.159 and leave comments. 1699 01:35:28.640 --> 01:35:30.600 Yeah, well I'm not logged into Twitter on my work 1700 01:35:30.640 --> 01:35:31.720 computer either, so. 1701 01:35:31.800 --> 01:35:33.920 That's okay on you. So that's how I all right, 1702 01:35:33.960 --> 01:35:36.880 So then watch on YouTube and comment there. All right, 1703 01:35:36.920 --> 01:35:40.079 we'll see you on Friday, by y'all. All right, that's Bart. 1704 01:35:40.279 --> 01:35:44.079 And so Bart is going to listen to this next 1705 01:35:44.119 --> 01:35:47.960 segment and it has to do with reffing down here, 1706 01:35:48.399 --> 01:35:54.039 and it does have to do with a technically and 1707 01:35:54.079 --> 01:35:57.760 actually it's two moments in the Sundalt Conference, one directly 1708 01:35:57.800 --> 01:36:03.079 involving Jason that he we saw on the weekend and 1709 01:36:03.119 --> 01:36:08.520 then another from late September, and so what we're going 1710 01:36:08.560 --> 01:36:11.720 to do for those who missed it. Both of these 1711 01:36:11.720 --> 01:36:13.680 are courtesy of our friends at ESPN Plus and the 1712 01:36:13.720 --> 01:36:20.960 Sundal Conference. So yesterday there was a moment in the 1713 01:36:21.119 --> 01:36:28.279 Georgia State match with Old Dominion and it is about 1714 01:36:28.319 --> 01:36:32.479 two and a half minutes worth a tape. It's worth 1715 01:36:32.520 --> 01:36:35.560 it to get the full listen. And this is from 1716 01:36:35.640 --> 01:36:40.720 the broadcast, and so you might have to picture television 1717 01:36:41.840 --> 01:36:45.000 because there are some references to video and what can 1718 01:36:45.039 --> 01:36:50.000 be done here, But I will play this block. And 1719 01:36:50.039 --> 01:36:53.279 then there's another incident that we need to get into 1720 01:36:53.960 --> 01:36:59.520 from late September from James Madison and Old Dominion that 1721 01:36:59.760 --> 01:37:02.520 we need to get into and it has to do 1722 01:37:02.600 --> 01:37:05.920 with a couple of different things. So we'll go through 1723 01:37:05.960 --> 01:37:09.960 both of these moments in both of these situations. So David, 1724 01:37:10.000 --> 01:37:12.720 here's so we're gonna break this down. So David was 1725 01:37:12.760 --> 01:37:18.119 there yesterday, he saw it, Jason called it, and so 1726 01:37:18.239 --> 01:37:21.399 here's what happened late in the match. So, first off, 1727 01:37:22.199 --> 01:37:28.319 Georgia State was down, Georgia State was down one nil. 1728 01:37:28.479 --> 01:37:30.840 They came back to take a two to one lead 1729 01:37:31.199 --> 01:37:36.800 with about two minutes to go. Then with about two 1730 01:37:36.880 --> 01:37:40.920 minutes to go in the match, you end up with 1731 01:37:41.560 --> 01:37:46.880 this incident slash moment as it happened once again courtesy 1732 01:37:46.920 --> 01:37:50.640 of our friends at ESPN Plus and the Sundalk Conference. 1733 01:37:50.640 --> 01:37:54.159 This is Jason's call from Georgia State in Old Dominion 1734 01:37:54.239 --> 01:37:57.159 yesterday to run over top of the eighteen. Nothing called 1735 01:37:57.239 --> 01:38:00.840 couple of deflections. Gotta get cleared now. Wilson tried to 1736 01:38:00.880 --> 01:38:01.319 clear it. 1737 01:38:01.359 --> 01:38:10.159 Old Dominion wants a handball and the referee is gonna 1738 01:38:10.199 --> 01:38:13.319 go look at it. 1739 01:38:15.399 --> 01:38:18.880 Brook Nelson was trying to clear it. Tucker was pushed 1740 01:38:18.920 --> 01:38:20.920 over at the top of the eighteen at the start 1741 01:38:20.960 --> 01:38:24.000 of the entire sequence. You can see Ed Joyce asking 1742 01:38:24.119 --> 01:38:26.720 why don't you call the first one. We're getting to 1743 01:38:26.760 --> 01:38:29.359 look at it now. Nelson tries to clear it's off 1744 01:38:29.359 --> 01:38:32.680 the side of Diaz. That is not a handball. The 1745 01:38:32.760 --> 01:38:34.680 fact that the referee is going to look at it. 1746 01:38:34.760 --> 01:38:38.640 He didn't call it in live action. That's off of 1747 01:38:38.680 --> 01:38:43.239 her back. That is not a handball. Replay is not 1748 01:38:43.800 --> 01:38:47.399 supposed to be used to re referee situations. He waves 1749 01:38:47.439 --> 01:38:50.039 it off. You could see it right there in that replay. 1750 01:38:50.399 --> 01:38:53.600 He waved it off. He gets talked into going to 1751 01:38:53.640 --> 01:38:58.640 look at it. They don't have our angles, as a 1752 01:38:58.680 --> 01:39:03.600 reminder he in this one, they have what is commonly 1753 01:39:03.640 --> 01:39:07.359 known as a coaching camera, So you're not gonna have 1754 01:39:07.439 --> 01:39:12.720 the angle we just had. If this gets overturned because 1755 01:39:12.720 --> 01:39:14.960 it was not called as a handball on the field, 1756 01:39:17.600 --> 01:39:19.560 We'll try to give you a little bit of a 1757 01:39:19.600 --> 01:39:23.079 simulation of what it could look like to the referee. 1758 01:39:23.439 --> 01:39:25.319 But right now, it looks like he's trying to find 1759 01:39:25.359 --> 01:39:29.399 something in it that's not there. You see the arm 1760 01:39:29.600 --> 01:39:33.119 go up, and that can fool you. We showed you 1761 01:39:33.199 --> 01:39:35.800 a very close up angle and you can see that 1762 01:39:35.880 --> 01:39:42.159 it hits her side penalty is given. You might want 1763 01:39:42.159 --> 01:39:44.319 to turn the crowd mikes down because I don't want 1764 01:39:44.319 --> 01:39:47.840 to hear what Joyce has to say about that one, 1765 01:39:49.840 --> 01:39:51.520 because I have a feeling I know what he has 1766 01:39:51.560 --> 01:39:55.359 to say. This team cannot catch a break. In twenty 1767 01:39:55.399 --> 01:40:00.520 twenty four, was a foul on Snea Tucker at the 1768 01:40:00.560 --> 01:40:03.399 top of the eighteen that was not called, and then 1769 01:40:03.439 --> 01:40:10.479 a handball is given. That is not a handball. Raya 1770 01:40:10.560 --> 01:40:13.439 Kiowski goes to the spot for old dominion. One minute 1771 01:40:13.479 --> 01:40:30.600 left on the clock. Kioski versus fos Kioski scores to two. Okay, 1772 01:40:30.800 --> 01:40:34.600 first and foremost, that was the call. Secondarily, I hope 1773 01:40:34.680 --> 01:40:37.439 Jada Fuss didn't hurt her left foot because she kicked 1774 01:40:37.560 --> 01:40:40.800 the goalpost to the near side after the after the 1775 01:40:40.840 --> 01:40:42.439 ball went through. So two to two at that point. 1776 01:40:42.439 --> 01:40:46.239 So what you had was a center ref. And like 1777 01:40:46.279 --> 01:40:48.439 I told you at the beginning of the show, I 1778 01:40:48.520 --> 01:40:51.640 purposely left out any reference of the center re f. 1779 01:40:51.760 --> 01:40:54.239 I did not track down the individual's name. I didn't 1780 01:40:54.239 --> 01:40:56.760 want to look at the crew because that's not Germane. 1781 01:40:56.800 --> 01:41:00.319 To the conversation, the names are not Germane. To the KNA, 1782 01:41:00.720 --> 01:41:04.560 the call is and the activity is, so, here's what 1783 01:41:04.640 --> 01:41:12.439 you had happened. You had no call of a handball 1784 01:41:13.760 --> 01:41:20.239 live in play. So and on the ESPN Plus broadcast 1785 01:41:20.399 --> 01:41:23.800 they go through and you see that the ball hits 1786 01:41:24.399 --> 01:41:27.960 the Georgia State player basically under the arm and literally 1787 01:41:28.079 --> 01:41:31.600 on your your lat, the big back muscle that you 1788 01:41:31.720 --> 01:41:36.399 have side of the body, the intersection of the right 1789 01:41:36.520 --> 01:41:39.000 right underneath the arm. It did not even touch the 1790 01:41:39.079 --> 01:41:42.319 left arm, and so it hits. It hits the player 1791 01:41:42.960 --> 01:41:46.399 right there on the edge where the LAT hooks around 1792 01:41:46.520 --> 01:41:49.840 and connects to the front of the body. Then the 1793 01:41:49.880 --> 01:41:58.039 referee is convinced to look at the incident, after calling, 1794 01:41:58.119 --> 01:42:03.880 after after calling no call, after waving something off live, 1795 01:42:04.960 --> 01:42:11.920 then somehow they are convinced to go and look at 1796 01:42:11.960 --> 01:42:16.640 the call. And as Jason made the point on the 1797 01:42:16.720 --> 01:42:23.520 air yesterday, at the venue, they have the coach's camera, 1798 01:42:23.600 --> 01:42:25.439 you know, like the thing that kind of looks like 1799 01:42:25.479 --> 01:42:30.600 a cell tower, And depending on which model you get, 1800 01:42:30.640 --> 01:42:35.439 it's anywhere from say twelve to fifteen feet in the air, 1801 01:42:35.600 --> 01:42:41.239 and it gives you the really wide all twenty two traditionally, 1802 01:42:42.119 --> 01:42:45.760 depending on the individual and the home team as to 1803 01:42:45.800 --> 01:42:48.119 how tight it is shot, how far up in the air, 1804 01:42:48.159 --> 01:42:49.960 it is positioning and all that kind of stuff. So 1805 01:42:50.000 --> 01:42:53.560 you had a referee who no called a handball situation live. 1806 01:42:54.880 --> 01:43:01.039 They were talked into looking at the play and you 1807 01:43:01.079 --> 01:43:04.199 look at it from the coaches camp, the spidio, the 1808 01:43:04.479 --> 01:43:10.560 spider can that they have up top. Then after looking 1809 01:43:10.640 --> 01:43:18.439 at the replay from that ALL twenty two, and I 1810 01:43:18.520 --> 01:43:22.920 think I'm one hundred and twenty percent certain that the 1811 01:43:23.000 --> 01:43:25.520 production crew at Georgia State, and by the way, they 1812 01:43:25.520 --> 01:43:30.319 did a bang up job in lining everything up as 1813 01:43:30.359 --> 01:43:34.600 to what was the alleged infraction and all that kind 1814 01:43:34.640 --> 01:43:37.359 of stuff. They did a really good job of walking 1815 01:43:37.439 --> 01:43:42.960 through the situation that was not what was viewed. What 1816 01:43:43.000 --> 01:43:47.479 was viewed was the ALL twenty two coaches camp. Center 1817 01:43:47.640 --> 01:43:53.840 f looks at that re referees his own call, sees 1818 01:43:53.880 --> 01:43:56.199 that it's a penalty, goes to the spot, Old Dominion 1819 01:43:56.239 --> 01:43:59.199 ties it it to and that eventually ends up being 1820 01:43:59.239 --> 01:44:01.680 a two two draw. Now I'm going to take you 1821 01:44:01.680 --> 01:44:05.439 back to September twenty ninth, and it was a game 1822 01:44:05.640 --> 01:44:11.640 involving Old Dominion and James Madison. Old Dominion and James Madison, 1823 01:44:12.279 --> 01:44:16.800 with twenty six minutes left on the clock, have a 1824 01:44:16.880 --> 01:44:21.319 stoppage in play, and if I played this entire exchange, 1825 01:44:22.119 --> 01:44:24.960 it would be about seven minutes. It is a seven 1826 01:44:25.039 --> 01:44:28.560 minute delay. First and foremost that happened with James Madison 1827 01:44:28.600 --> 01:44:33.399 and Old Dominion as the production crew at James Madison 1828 01:44:34.079 --> 01:44:38.840 is following a throw in and as you're watching picture 1829 01:44:38.840 --> 01:44:41.840 of the monitor in your mind's eye, activity is going 1830 01:44:41.840 --> 01:44:47.840 from left to right. Throw in is paused for something 1831 01:44:47.880 --> 01:44:56.319 that happened off camera, and it goes to once again review. 1832 01:44:58.239 --> 01:45:01.840 But the review is once again not off of the 1833 01:45:02.000 --> 01:45:06.960 television production camera, but off of the spider the spide 1834 01:45:07.039 --> 01:45:10.239 of the coaches cam, the cell tower that you see 1835 01:45:10.239 --> 01:45:14.319 if you go and watch a college soccer match. So 1836 01:45:14.640 --> 01:45:20.359 Center Ref goes and tries to look at the play 1837 01:45:22.079 --> 01:45:27.159 as it was shot on the coach's camera. After the 1838 01:45:27.199 --> 01:45:32.920 initial review, Center Ref wanders over to James Madison because 1839 01:45:32.960 --> 01:45:36.279 the foul was lined up to be on Old Dominion, 1840 01:45:37.039 --> 01:45:39.720 and once again Old Dominion was down three to two. 1841 01:45:39.800 --> 01:45:41.520 At this point they were down three to zero, came 1842 01:45:41.520 --> 01:45:43.479 back to go to three to two, twenty six oh 1843 01:45:43.520 --> 01:45:47.119 three left on the clock. Clock stops. So after the 1844 01:45:47.119 --> 01:45:53.720 initial review off of the spider cam, Center Ref goes 1845 01:45:53.800 --> 01:45:57.279 over to James Madison's coach and looked like he was 1846 01:45:57.319 --> 01:46:01.319 about to make his decision. James Mann Madison's coach becomes 1847 01:46:01.560 --> 01:46:05.960 very very demonstrative and see and tells the center f 1848 01:46:06.359 --> 01:46:09.079 there's an elbow. And you can see in the description 1849 01:46:09.199 --> 01:46:11.439 and you can see in the ESPN feed that you 1850 01:46:11.479 --> 01:46:14.039 have the James Madison coaches and they're looking and they're 1851 01:46:14.079 --> 01:46:18.079 trying to basically zipproo of the whole thing. They're going 1852 01:46:18.119 --> 01:46:21.439 backward and they're trying to find the moment where they 1853 01:46:21.479 --> 01:46:26.159 believe the infraction happened. James Madison's coach literally, as the 1854 01:46:26.199 --> 01:46:28.520 center ref is walking to him to explain what he 1855 01:46:28.600 --> 01:46:31.880 thought he saw, the James Madison coach is saying there 1856 01:46:31.920 --> 01:46:39.479 was an elbow. So after the proposed and presumed initial decision, 1857 01:46:41.039 --> 01:46:46.560 and the James Madison coach re emphasizes it was an elbow, 1858 01:46:46.600 --> 01:46:49.439 and you see the James Madison coach literally wind up 1859 01:46:49.479 --> 01:46:51.720 and take his elbow backward from the end zone camera 1860 01:46:52.239 --> 01:46:58.880 on the TV production side that the center ref goes 1861 01:46:59.279 --> 01:47:06.239 back to the coach's cam and then once again, after 1862 01:47:06.319 --> 01:47:10.439 looking at it for minutes, and the old Dominion coaching 1863 01:47:10.479 --> 01:47:13.960 staff comes over and is wondering what's going on, especially 1864 01:47:14.079 --> 01:47:18.439 after center F appeared to have made a decision, then 1865 01:47:18.560 --> 01:47:23.119 is basically convinced to go back by the historyonics of 1866 01:47:23.479 --> 01:47:28.079 in the motions of the James Madison coach. He goes 1867 01:47:28.239 --> 01:47:33.199 back to look at the spider cam video, then comes 1868 01:47:33.399 --> 01:47:38.079 back after watching, after being encouraged what to look for, 1869 01:47:39.159 --> 01:47:43.119 apparently saw what the James Madison coach encouraged him to 1870 01:47:43.239 --> 01:47:47.479 look for, came out, gave the Old Dominion player a 1871 01:47:47.800 --> 01:47:52.399 red card, and so Old Dominion down a goal is 1872 01:47:52.439 --> 01:47:55.439 now officially down a player with twenty six minutes to go. 1873 01:47:56.399 --> 01:48:00.600 This is a seven minute delay. In all of this 1874 01:48:02.039 --> 01:48:06.840 seven minute delay and as I was looking at this yesterday, 1875 01:48:08.159 --> 01:48:13.159 as I was looking at it yesterday, that was, you know, 1876 01:48:13.239 --> 01:48:17.319 another incident inside the eighteen David. I know, I see 1877 01:48:17.359 --> 01:48:19.760 you looking at stuff in the twitch pitch and we'll 1878 01:48:19.800 --> 01:48:24.159 get to that in just a second. So short version 1879 01:48:24.640 --> 01:48:27.439 made longer with James Madison and Old Dominion that James 1880 01:48:27.439 --> 01:48:33.000 Madison infraction off camera from the TV production side. Center 1881 01:48:33.159 --> 01:48:36.159 F goes looks at the spider cam, looked like he 1882 01:48:36.199 --> 01:48:39.640 didn't see anything, wants to come over to the James 1883 01:48:39.680 --> 01:48:45.840 Madison coach to explain himself. James Madison coach motions that 1884 01:48:45.880 --> 01:48:49.840 there was an elbow center. F goes Back apparently saw 1885 01:48:49.880 --> 01:48:52.640 it the second time after being encouraged to look for 1886 01:48:52.720 --> 01:48:55.640 it by the James Madison coach. Old dominion player gets 1887 01:48:55.680 --> 01:48:58.520 a yellow up, gets a red card, straight red, and 1888 01:48:58.560 --> 01:49:01.000 then down three to two Old for the final twenty 1889 01:49:01.000 --> 01:49:04.239 six minutes at James Madison is having to fight down 1890 01:49:04.239 --> 01:49:09.640 a man. The conversation was overheard on the sideline. Savannah 1891 01:49:09.640 --> 01:49:14.359 Wilkerson is your sideline reporter at James Madison. Here is 1892 01:49:14.960 --> 01:49:20.119 her breakdown of what the conversation was between the two 1893 01:49:20.199 --> 01:49:25.319 head coaches during this entire review. So here's what Savannah 1894 01:49:25.319 --> 01:49:30.159 Wilkerson heard and reported to the booth after all of 1895 01:49:30.199 --> 01:49:32.520 this discussion happened once again courtesy of our friends at 1896 01:49:32.520 --> 01:49:33.920 the Sun Belton ESPN plus. 1897 01:49:33.800 --> 01:49:36.039 Let's throw it back down to the field, Savannah, what 1898 01:49:36.159 --> 01:49:39.039 did you see with all of that going on during 1899 01:49:39.039 --> 01:49:39.520 the review. 1900 01:49:40.760 --> 01:49:43.239 So the main reason that coach Hind was so upset 1901 01:49:43.279 --> 01:49:45.560 is because Coach Walters is the one who made that 1902 01:49:45.600 --> 01:49:47.920 call and she kept saying that you are not a ref. 1903 01:49:48.199 --> 01:49:50.880 Coach Walters responded by saying, that's fine, but the ref 1904 01:49:51.000 --> 01:49:53.239 just needs to see it. He can make his own decision, 1905 01:49:53.479 --> 01:49:56.439 but he needs to see it. Coach Heine responded by saying, 1906 01:49:56.439 --> 01:49:59.439 he had already made his decision. That's why she's so upset. 1907 01:49:59.439 --> 01:50:02.279 And she said it was absolutely ridiculous and not fair 1908 01:50:02.359 --> 01:50:02.960 and not right. 1909 01:50:04.800 --> 01:50:10.399 So that was the play by play of Savannah Wilkerson, 1910 01:50:10.439 --> 01:50:13.960 who was the sideline reporter for James Madison during this 1911 01:50:14.119 --> 01:50:20.800 coming together for everything involving James Madison in Old Dominion. 1912 01:50:21.640 --> 01:50:23.960 So once again, let me replay it for you. I'm 1913 01:50:23.960 --> 01:50:28.840 gonna replay what Savannah Wilkerson said in her sideline reporting 1914 01:50:28.960 --> 01:50:30.680 between the two head coaches one more time. 1915 01:50:30.760 --> 01:50:33.079 Let's throw it back down to the field. Savannah, what 1916 01:50:33.199 --> 01:50:36.079 did you see with all of that going on during 1917 01:50:36.079 --> 01:50:36.560 the review? 1918 01:50:37.800 --> 01:50:40.239 So the main reason that Coach Hine was so upset 1919 01:50:40.319 --> 01:50:42.840 is because Coach Walters is the one who made that call, 1920 01:50:42.880 --> 01:50:44.960 and she kept saying that you are not a ref. 1921 01:50:45.239 --> 01:50:47.920 Coach Walters responded by saying, that's fine, but the ref 1922 01:50:48.000 --> 01:50:50.319 just needs to see it. He can make his own decision, 1923 01:50:50.520 --> 01:50:53.239 but he needs to see it. Coach Heine responded by 1924 01:50:53.239 --> 01:50:55.960 saying he had already made his decision. That's why she's 1925 01:50:56.000 --> 01:50:58.720 so upset. And she said it was absolutely ridiculous and 1926 01:50:58.760 --> 01:51:00.279 not fair and not right. 1927 01:51:01.359 --> 01:51:05.479 So the ref needs to see it was the convincing 1928 01:51:06.000 --> 01:51:09.319 element by the James Madison coach. The ref needs to 1929 01:51:09.359 --> 01:51:18.800 see it. That goes to influence, that goes to re 1930 01:51:18.800 --> 01:51:21.520 refereeing and steering and a whole bunch of other things. 1931 01:51:24.760 --> 01:51:32.359 So with those two instances in the sun Belt, one 1932 01:51:32.439 --> 01:51:34.720 back on September twenty ninth, and the other one yesterday, 1933 01:51:34.800 --> 01:51:41.960 David so David said, did the hand to call handball 1934 01:51:42.079 --> 01:51:44.279 or the other coming together at the top of the eighteen. 1935 01:51:45.239 --> 01:51:50.039 This was after the first incident. This was with about 1936 01:51:50.079 --> 01:51:57.760 two minutes to go in the GSU match, and it 1937 01:51:58.039 --> 01:52:02.239 was literally let go on the field, literally the well 1938 01:52:02.239 --> 01:52:04.479 and the David. You don't recall the David didn't recall 1939 01:52:04.520 --> 01:52:08.399 the gesture from the official. It didn't happen, did not 1940 01:52:08.520 --> 01:52:14.119 happen live. The element and the incident did not happen 1941 01:52:14.239 --> 01:52:19.439 live in the GSU game. So what you had in 1942 01:52:19.520 --> 01:52:27.920 both of these instances is a center ref convinced to 1943 01:52:28.079 --> 01:52:35.000 re referee a match yesterday at Georgia State ref didn't 1944 01:52:35.000 --> 01:52:38.359 call it live, did not call the handball live, and 1945 01:52:38.399 --> 01:52:41.840 it wasn't a handball period. It was not a handball, 1946 01:52:43.600 --> 01:52:45.239 and for those of you that have ESPN plus, I 1947 01:52:45.279 --> 01:52:46.960 would recommend going back and literally just go to the 1948 01:52:47.039 --> 01:52:49.600 last two minutes. Let's start with four, because then it's 1949 01:52:49.600 --> 01:52:51.479 the equalizer, and then you get to see the context 1950 01:52:52.960 --> 01:52:57.239 and the incident. In James Madison and Old Dominion, I 1951 01:52:57.239 --> 01:53:00.279 don't know how long replays are up traditionally, but I 1952 01:53:00.319 --> 01:53:01.800 was still able to go back and access it back 1953 01:53:01.840 --> 01:53:05.960 on September twenty ninth. The gesture from the field during 1954 01:53:06.159 --> 01:53:09.039 live did not happen, So David, you were there, you 1955 01:53:09.079 --> 01:53:13.359 didn't see it. You and everybody else. This goes to 1956 01:53:13.479 --> 01:53:18.199 larger points. Both of these incidents lead to larger points 1957 01:53:18.800 --> 01:53:21.840 that we wanted to kind of let you know about here. 1958 01:53:23.720 --> 01:53:29.800 One it's about re refereeing, and that should not be 1959 01:53:29.960 --> 01:53:33.199 in a position A referee should be confident enough, or 1960 01:53:33.239 --> 01:53:35.880 at least, if you want to use the word stubborn, 1961 01:53:36.039 --> 01:53:40.000 they should be locked into the idea of my call 1962 01:53:40.119 --> 01:53:42.359 is my call, and I will not be convinced otherwise. 1963 01:53:42.439 --> 01:53:44.880 Doesn't matter who it is unless it's another official. It 1964 01:53:44.920 --> 01:53:49.359 was not an official in either case that had any 1965 01:53:50.039 --> 01:53:55.359 that encouraged any re refereeing in the Georgia State game. 1966 01:53:56.760 --> 01:54:01.840 It was called live, there was no handball call. Then 1967 01:54:02.640 --> 01:54:08.760 convinced to go to a monitor and then from a 1968 01:54:08.840 --> 01:54:18.520 camera angle and a rundown that was and just angles 1969 01:54:18.520 --> 01:54:21.840 in general that were far worse than you could have 1970 01:54:21.880 --> 01:54:26.159 gotten otherwise. You decide to re referee a call with 1971 01:54:26.279 --> 01:54:32.199 a worse camera angle looking at something off of an iPad. 1972 01:54:33.800 --> 01:54:38.760 In instance number one, instance number two, you have a 1973 01:54:38.800 --> 01:54:44.920 call or you don't have a call. And the call 1974 01:54:45.079 --> 01:54:48.840 happened in the ODU James Madison match off camera from 1975 01:54:48.840 --> 01:54:56.039 the television production perspective, So center f goes off field. 1976 01:54:57.840 --> 01:55:01.479 Nothing's happening. There was no call in the initial build 1977 01:55:01.560 --> 01:55:02.800 up of the play. It was supposed to be just 1978 01:55:02.840 --> 01:55:05.119 an ordinary throw. And with twenty six oh three encounting, 1979 01:55:05.119 --> 01:55:11.119 you hear, you get a whistle, then you end up 1980 01:55:11.159 --> 01:55:18.000 with a review. Then you believe. And like I said, 1981 01:55:18.039 --> 01:55:22.680 I'm and I'm watching the JMU Old Dominion match over 1982 01:55:24.159 --> 01:55:27.880 and you see, literally it looks like the center ref 1983 01:55:29.560 --> 01:55:33.600 looks like he has something in mind, and it looks 1984 01:55:33.600 --> 01:55:35.760 like he's about to go to the JMU coach. Then 1985 01:55:35.800 --> 01:55:39.680 the JMU coach becomes more elevated in his emotion and 1986 01:55:39.760 --> 01:55:42.039 said and with his right arm and elbow, it's like 1987 01:55:42.119 --> 01:55:46.760 it was an elbow. So then the center ref, after 1988 01:55:46.880 --> 01:55:51.119 being lobbied by the JMU coach, goes back to the 1989 01:55:51.159 --> 01:55:56.319 monitor and I guess he saw it, saw something akin 1990 01:55:56.439 --> 01:56:00.039 to it as he tried to ziprooder the thing, and 1991 01:56:00.079 --> 01:56:01.560 then you end up with the straight red card for 1992 01:56:01.600 --> 01:56:06.279 Old Dominion. And this is both Both of these calls 1993 01:56:07.399 --> 01:56:12.520 were viewed from the spider cams from the coach cameras. 1994 01:56:12.760 --> 01:56:16.840 They were not viewed from the television production aspect of it. 1995 01:56:18.600 --> 01:56:22.760 In the Georgia State Old Dominion game, GSU's production crew, 1996 01:56:22.760 --> 01:56:26.840 they were all over it, absolutely all over it. In 1997 01:56:26.960 --> 01:56:30.239 James Madison and Old Dominion, the TV crew from James 1998 01:56:30.319 --> 01:56:35.199 Madison didn't have it. It was off camera, so you're 1999 01:56:35.239 --> 01:56:40.000 relying on the spider cam, the coaches camera, the all 2000 01:56:40.039 --> 01:56:45.880 twenty two to give you something. So you had in 2001 01:56:46.039 --> 01:56:54.079 one match worse angles and you re refereed something that 2002 01:56:54.159 --> 01:56:59.960 you didn't call live in the ear In the earlier example, 2003 01:57:01.960 --> 01:57:05.359 you go to the spider cam because TV didn't have it. 2004 01:57:07.920 --> 01:57:12.680 You re referee a call after your initial thought was 2005 01:57:12.720 --> 01:57:18.039 one thing. Then somehow center ref is talked into going 2006 01:57:18.279 --> 01:57:20.439 back to look at the tape. Hey, no, you're looking 2007 01:57:20.479 --> 01:57:29.239 for this. So it was seven minute delay in JMU 2008 01:57:29.239 --> 01:57:35.479 and ODU and a call. Then both calls should not 2009 01:57:35.520 --> 01:57:43.319 have been made. And so David, I think is going 2010 01:57:43.359 --> 01:57:47.880 back and shuttling through ESPN plus as we're looking. So 2011 01:57:48.000 --> 01:57:50.960 David clear and obvious questions, clearly, but not still made it. 2012 01:57:51.239 --> 01:57:52.840 First he thought the ref was going to talk to 2013 01:57:52.880 --> 01:57:54.600 the fourth and then he went to the baby monitor, 2014 01:57:54.600 --> 01:57:56.439 who's a GSU goald a minute thirty four to go, 2015 01:57:57.039 --> 01:57:59.800 PK awarded at a minute left, frantic and fund last 2016 01:57:59.840 --> 01:58:02.840 five minutes behind the gold gssue camera crew certainly had 2017 01:58:02.880 --> 01:58:05.399 a better angle and clearance off of a clearance off 2018 01:58:05.439 --> 01:58:10.800 a teammate. So we had two instances of re refereeing 2019 01:58:12.840 --> 01:58:17.000 that first and foremost should not happen period. Referee should 2020 01:58:17.000 --> 01:58:20.560 be confident in their calls. Don't let anybody in the 2021 01:58:20.600 --> 01:58:23.760 outside noise that's not wearing the same color jersey that 2022 01:58:23.880 --> 01:58:30.199 you are force you into thinking something. No One wearing 2023 01:58:30.239 --> 01:58:33.840 a logo of a participating team should talk you back 2024 01:58:33.880 --> 01:58:38.399 into looking at something. But that's what happened in JAMU 2025 01:58:38.479 --> 01:58:43.239 and O to you, someone with a logo talked to 2026 01:58:43.279 --> 01:58:48.439 a center ref yesterday at Georgia State and was like, hey, 2027 01:58:48.560 --> 01:58:49.920 you know you've got to look at this. Oh, okay, 2028 01:58:49.960 --> 01:58:51.800 I think I'll look at it. I said, we don't 2029 01:58:51.800 --> 01:58:55.399 know the thought processes of both of these officiating crews, 2030 01:58:57.000 --> 01:58:59.800 but the bottom line is that two plays were re refereed, 2031 01:59:03.039 --> 01:59:05.000 and you need to be confident in your own calls. 2032 01:59:05.800 --> 01:59:12.520 And now to my other point. My other point is this, 2033 01:59:14.800 --> 01:59:20.439 if you have television production cameras at an event, and 2034 01:59:20.520 --> 01:59:22.920 we know that everything is streamed these days on ESPN 2035 01:59:22.960 --> 01:59:27.920 Plus or Flow or whatever, make sure, and this should 2036 01:59:27.920 --> 01:59:33.880 be a mandate, make sure that the review as it 2037 01:59:33.920 --> 01:59:37.199 is being looked at by the officiating crew is the 2038 01:59:37.319 --> 01:59:43.239 television production crew and that feed and not just the 2039 01:59:43.279 --> 01:59:50.239 spider can. I would have both of them available downstairs. 2040 01:59:51.159 --> 01:59:55.199 And this is the larger point other than re refereeing 2041 01:59:55.279 --> 01:59:59.319 on the field with human beings, So re refereeing as 2042 01:59:59.399 --> 02:00:01.600 human beings. Be confident in your own call. Don't let 2043 02:00:01.600 --> 02:00:04.880 somebody with a logo that's not yours have you go 2044 02:00:04.960 --> 02:00:07.119 back and look at something. Your call should be your call. 2045 02:00:08.840 --> 02:00:10.920 The fact in the GSU game that you didn't call 2046 02:00:10.960 --> 02:00:13.479 something live and got talked into re referring something looking 2047 02:00:13.560 --> 02:00:15.960 at a monitor that was nowhere close to a handball, 2048 02:00:16.000 --> 02:00:17.640 and you're looking at it from an angle that wasn't 2049 02:00:17.680 --> 02:00:25.239 even the best available or the best shot. What should 2050 02:00:25.319 --> 02:00:30.760 happen in these instances is this, and I would hope 2051 02:00:30.800 --> 02:00:32.720 that this is something that has looked at going forward, 2052 02:00:34.560 --> 02:00:43.000 that both video signals are available to that iPad, baby monitor, 2053 02:00:43.000 --> 02:00:46.880 whatever you want to call it for center refs for review. 2054 02:00:49.239 --> 02:00:52.600 So if TV in the old Dominion James Madison case, 2055 02:00:52.680 --> 02:00:57.039 they didn't have it, so then you go to spider 2056 02:00:57.119 --> 02:01:00.159 Camp to see if it's worth anything, worth any cat 2057 02:01:00.199 --> 02:01:07.960 of a look. If it's there, then you can take 2058 02:01:07.960 --> 02:01:11.680 a peek at it. If both of them have it, 2059 02:01:12.680 --> 02:01:16.279 that you can defer to the television production signal, And 2060 02:01:16.399 --> 02:01:18.720 all that should be is just running another video cable 2061 02:01:18.720 --> 02:01:22.399 into that baby monitor and changing your input literally another 2062 02:01:22.479 --> 02:01:26.000 video cable into the back of that monitor, or have 2063 02:01:26.039 --> 02:01:28.800 another video HDMI cable available. You can swap it out 2064 02:01:28.840 --> 02:01:30.479 and sit there and go, okay, a you unplug it, 2065 02:01:30.520 --> 02:01:32.520 plug it back in, have someone from the production crew 2066 02:01:32.560 --> 02:01:34.680 sit there and get it all squared away. Change an 2067 02:01:34.680 --> 02:01:39.960 input function. That way, you've got spider Cam available on 2068 02:01:39.960 --> 02:01:43.479 one input, TV production available on another, and if it 2069 02:01:43.560 --> 02:01:49.880 just so happens that communication from the table goes back 2070 02:01:49.880 --> 02:01:54.800 to the production, the production crew, Hey, centerf wants to 2071 02:01:54.800 --> 02:01:59.159 see this, then the TV production can send a feed 2072 02:01:59.319 --> 02:02:02.159 or in real time as it's being broadcast. If you 2073 02:02:02.199 --> 02:02:05.520 can't send a separate feed, go back and have them 2074 02:02:05.560 --> 02:02:11.720 look at what happened. Both video feeds need to be 2075 02:02:11.760 --> 02:02:15.960 available for refereeing crews, and like I said, with as 2076 02:02:16.000 --> 02:02:19.000 many games as they're being broadcasts now these days on 2077 02:02:19.199 --> 02:02:22.800 streaming services and what have you, I would think that 2078 02:02:23.000 --> 02:02:29.960 cameras might be easily accessible or easier accessible in these situations. 2079 02:02:30.600 --> 02:02:35.000 Have both video feeds available and the other element, as 2080 02:02:35.079 --> 02:02:40.960 David says, clear and obvious. I'd love to know how 2081 02:02:41.000 --> 02:02:46.239 in each of these cases. The call on the Georgia 2082 02:02:46.319 --> 02:02:49.039 State game was clear and obvious off of a spider can, 2083 02:02:50.319 --> 02:02:52.640 and I'd love to know how the call in the 2084 02:02:52.760 --> 02:02:56.399 James Madison Old Dominion game was clear and obvious off 2085 02:02:56.439 --> 02:03:00.720 a spider cam. And if you don't don't have clear 2086 02:03:00.720 --> 02:03:06.640 and obvious, then by the nature of video review, it's 2087 02:03:06.720 --> 02:03:15.760 left alone. Video review is inconclusive. My call stands. So 2088 02:03:15.800 --> 02:03:18.039 that's what we wanted to bring to the table this morning. 2089 02:03:19.560 --> 02:03:21.319 Make sure and like I said, I don't think you 2090 02:03:21.319 --> 02:03:25.439 can do anything this year, but I'm fairly certain, being 2091 02:03:25.479 --> 02:03:29.479 the optimist that I am down the line, that there 2092 02:03:29.520 --> 02:03:32.520 will be a moment in a game of import, whether 2093 02:03:32.560 --> 02:03:35.319 it is in a conference tournament or a national tournament, 2094 02:03:35.640 --> 02:03:41.640 on some level somewhere where you will have this kind 2095 02:03:41.680 --> 02:03:47.800 of a situation. You hope you don't, but in this 2096 02:03:47.880 --> 02:03:51.680 kind of a situation going forward, I would like to 2097 02:03:51.760 --> 02:03:56.760 think that you could have just a separate input, just 2098 02:03:57.000 --> 02:04:03.560 jam a separate input to a monitor, change your input 2099 02:04:03.560 --> 02:04:05.760 function on the remote control so you can see spider 2100 02:04:05.760 --> 02:04:09.960 cam and television production. And like I said, if it's 2101 02:04:09.960 --> 02:04:12.720 only if it's done live on the air, because you 2102 02:04:12.880 --> 02:04:17.840 can't route a separate video input to the VAR monitor 2103 02:04:18.520 --> 02:04:20.720 that you would that would be going out over the air. 2104 02:04:20.960 --> 02:04:23.119 Have the play by play announcers sit there and say, hey, 2105 02:04:23.239 --> 02:04:28.640 center ref has requested that we show our angles of 2106 02:04:28.680 --> 02:04:34.439 the play. Make sure that that is available to the 2107 02:04:34.479 --> 02:04:38.119 center f because that makes the that makes it easier 2108 02:04:38.159 --> 02:04:42.159 to monitor. So it's two points that we wanted to 2109 02:04:42.159 --> 02:04:45.359 bring about here with the college game today. Re refereeing 2110 02:04:45.399 --> 02:04:51.279 something live and the clear and obvious nature of VAR 2111 02:04:51.960 --> 02:04:57.359 and only having the spider cam available to you. If 2112 02:04:57.359 --> 02:05:00.399 it's not clear and obvious, which unless the this person 2113 02:05:00.520 --> 02:05:03.000 shooting the spider cam is really good at what they're 2114 02:05:03.000 --> 02:05:12.279 doing and you can see intentionality, then initial call stands 2115 02:05:12.880 --> 02:05:16.319 leave it alone. Nothing like getting emails while you're doing 2116 02:05:16.319 --> 02:05:20.960 a show. So that's what we wanted to bring up 2117 02:05:21.000 --> 02:05:26.159 this morning to wrap up the show. Two instances of 2118 02:05:28.359 --> 02:05:34.960 re referering live and the reviews with spider cams that 2119 02:05:35.119 --> 02:05:38.319 need to be done in a more technically advanced manner. 2120 02:05:40.199 --> 02:05:44.479 Have both the television production signal available and the spider 2121 02:05:44.520 --> 02:05:48.319 cam available so you can compare and contrast off of 2122 02:05:48.359 --> 02:05:53.000 separate inputs. And then if one doesn't have it and 2123 02:05:53.039 --> 02:05:57.399 the other isn't clear and obvious, play should be left alone. 2124 02:05:58.359 --> 02:06:03.920 But referees re refereing calls live after going to the monitor. 2125 02:06:08.039 --> 02:06:11.000 Keep all of this in mind going forward. We'll be 2126 02:06:11.079 --> 02:06:15.840 vigilant about it too, but we need to have both 2127 02:06:16.000 --> 02:06:23.960 video signal options available in college soccer as best we can. 2128 02:06:24.439 --> 02:06:27.159 And if it isn't clear and obvious, it's not clear 2129 02:06:27.159 --> 02:06:30.960 and obvious, it can't be reversed. So the re refereeing 2130 02:06:31.000 --> 02:06:38.439 of an idea stops in its tracks right there. Huh, 2131 02:06:38.439 --> 02:06:41.039 So that was a longer version of reffing down here 2132 02:06:41.079 --> 02:06:44.600 this morning, just letting you know about things that we're 2133 02:06:44.640 --> 02:06:49.600 seeing and how things probably should change, but only for 2134 02:06:49.680 --> 02:06:54.560 the betterment of the game. So, like I said, it 2135 02:06:54.680 --> 02:07:00.319 just happened. There no all colleges that got it. Like 2136 02:07:00.359 --> 02:07:03.159 the old big biggie six fouls before fouling out rules. 2137 02:07:03.199 --> 02:07:08.439 I know I remember that too. But clear and obvious 2138 02:07:09.079 --> 02:07:14.159 spider cam TV production cam availability and re refereeing something live, 2139 02:07:14.640 --> 02:07:16.319 that's what we wanted to get into this morning. In 2140 02:07:16.359 --> 02:07:21.439 the college game, be confident in your calls, and then 2141 02:07:21.520 --> 02:07:23.880 let your initial call stand even if you're not confident 2142 02:07:23.880 --> 02:07:26.159 in it. And don't let somebody in a logo sit 2143 02:07:26.199 --> 02:07:27.600 there and say, hey, you've got to go look at 2144 02:07:27.600 --> 02:07:31.640 this because XYZ. Unless that logo is the same color 2145 02:07:31.720 --> 02:07:33.119 jersey that you are, and you're the one with the 2146 02:07:33.119 --> 02:07:36.960 whistle and the book and the cards, your call is 2147 02:07:37.000 --> 02:07:42.800 your call. But let the TV production signal be available 2148 02:07:43.720 --> 02:07:46.079 to the baby monitor off a separate input. And if 2149 02:07:46.079 --> 02:07:48.159 it has to be a separate monitor that you're running 2150 02:07:48.159 --> 02:07:50.000 a video cable toward, then so be it. But it 2151 02:07:50.000 --> 02:07:58.840 should be just as simple as changing an inputdinkdink, remote control. Okay, 2152 02:07:59.800 --> 02:08:01.439 So that was where we wanted to go this morning 2153 02:08:01.439 --> 02:08:04.399 with that. What to watch, where to watch it, how 2154 02:08:04.479 --> 02:08:07.800 to watch it.

But at the same time, 2172 02:09:15.239 --> 02:09:18.319 if the game's going to grow and we're all going 2173 02:09:18.359 --> 02:09:21.479 to continue to enjoy it, reffing down here has to 2174 02:09:21.560 --> 02:09:24.640 happen as a segment and just as kind of like 2175 02:09:24.680 --> 02:09:27.239 an introduction, because if it's something that you might see 2176 02:09:27.640 --> 02:09:29.520 down the line, you'll go, oh, yeah, I remember this, 2177 02:09:31.520 --> 02:09:38.319 but probably something toward the postseason this year or next season. 2178 02:09:39.560 --> 02:09:44.680 Having a separate video signal available to center refs, not 2179 02:09:44.800 --> 02:09:46.680 just the Spider, can make sure they can see TV 2180 02:09:46.760 --> 02:09:51.079 production as well. The whole re refereeing aspect is also 2181 02:09:51.319 --> 02:09:55.159 well part of it too. But there you go.
