WEBVTT 1 00:00:34.960 --> 00:00:38.560 Bassis dropping Soccer's morning show. Welcome to DH for another week, John, 2 00:00:38.600 --> 00:00:43.039 hear you there, And it is that week in the 3 00:00:43.079 --> 00:00:45.320 two week period when it comes to Major League Soccer 4 00:00:45.479 --> 00:00:50.280 where you hit the windows and it is it is entry, 5 00:00:50.320 --> 00:00:53.560 it's re entry, it's waivers, it's the half day trade 6 00:00:53.560 --> 00:00:57.039 deadline show that we kind of have and we drift 7 00:00:57.079 --> 00:00:58.479 in and out and we let you know those kinds 8 00:00:58.520 --> 00:01:00.960 of things. So we're kind of getting into that particular 9 00:01:01.000 --> 00:01:04.560 part of the season. We've also got an MLS Cup Final. 10 00:01:05.159 --> 00:01:08.359 We've also got some news related to the MLS Cup 11 00:01:08.439 --> 00:01:13.840 Final involving a player in particular and frankly, the stunning 12 00:01:13.959 --> 00:01:19.079 work that this particular person did outside of normal behavior. 13 00:01:19.200 --> 00:01:22.840 Morning Abbey, Happy Cyber Monday. That'll be a part of 14 00:01:23.239 --> 00:01:25.680 Opening Kickoff. By the way, Opening Kickoff probably has like 15 00:01:25.719 --> 00:01:30.239 two or three separate things, so traditional Monday. I know 16 00:01:30.280 --> 00:01:31.920 that Bart's going to be joining us an hour number 17 00:01:31.920 --> 00:01:33.799 two because we've got to talk about the women's national 18 00:01:33.840 --> 00:01:36.560 team and what happened with the matchup against England, and 19 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.359 it would give Bart a chance to continue discussing the 20 00:01:39.640 --> 00:01:43.760 perpetual virtues of Naomi Gheirma. It was Emma Hayes coming 21 00:01:43.879 --> 00:01:47.719 home in front of eleven gazillion people in attendance for 22 00:01:47.879 --> 00:01:50.799 this particular match, Veigman versus Hayes. We'll get into that 23 00:01:50.799 --> 00:01:52.920 an hour number two with Bart, and I know that 24 00:01:52.959 --> 00:01:56.439 Bart also wants to talk about his beloved West by God, Virginia, 25 00:01:56.760 --> 00:01:59.599 where apparently Neil Brown is out at six and six 26 00:02:00.439 --> 00:02:03.599 in the American football side of thing. So Bart has 27 00:02:03.640 --> 00:02:06.519 apparently a rant having to do with West Virginia football. 28 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.599 And you know, we are not above crossing the streams 29 00:02:09.599 --> 00:02:12.879 here on the Morning Show because it is that rivalry 30 00:02:12.919 --> 00:02:15.960 time in college football, and it also gives us a 31 00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:19.199 chance to plug the college football shows that we have 32 00:02:19.280 --> 00:02:22.879 over at OSG Sports where the review is now up 33 00:02:22.960 --> 00:02:26.719 and running, where we actually had a rather large class 34 00:02:26.960 --> 00:02:31.560 last time out. So it was myself, Marty's Rinco based 35 00:02:31.560 --> 00:02:34.439 in Dallas, John Fox, who is on the road chasing 36 00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:36.360 after one of his favorite jam bands, and I think 37 00:02:36.360 --> 00:02:39.599 he was in Westchester, New York in a hotel room, 38 00:02:40.039 --> 00:02:43.319 and it's Phil Canter and John Wilkerson. So the five 39 00:02:43.360 --> 00:02:47.000 of us were there, taped it and released it yesterday 40 00:02:47.080 --> 00:02:50.280 very early this morning. So set your notifications for that, 41 00:02:51.039 --> 00:02:53.319 John Wilkerson and I have the review coming up in 42 00:02:53.319 --> 00:02:54.759 the midweek. We're going to be joined by the play 43 00:02:54.800 --> 00:02:58.159 by play voice of Arizona State Football American Football. As 44 00:02:58.159 --> 00:03:00.159 a part of our discussion there, we'll go over the 45 00:03:00.159 --> 00:03:02.400 week that was, get you ready for the championship games, 46 00:03:02.639 --> 00:03:04.479 football on a budget, all that kind of stuff. So 47 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:06.439 that's your plug for the college football side over at 48 00:03:06.479 --> 00:03:11.560 OSG Sports. So a morning four card, and we've got 49 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:15.000 a lot of things to get into overseas, might be 50 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:19.159 today and tomorrow, depending on where we are. There's some 51 00:03:19.759 --> 00:03:22.800 fun stuff involving the FA Cup and moments that is 52 00:03:22.879 --> 00:03:27.159 kind of kickoffish that we might hold well. Like I said, 53 00:03:27.159 --> 00:03:30.080 we've got you know, we have a lot of things 54 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.919 to get into from a lot of different places, and 55 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:34.520 that's kind of where we are. We got the college 56 00:03:34.560 --> 00:03:37.280 game to get into this week. We are tracking down 57 00:03:37.360 --> 00:03:40.159 and we can do this because they continue winning. The 58 00:03:40.520 --> 00:03:43.840 SDH Bump does in fact live later this afternoon on tape, 59 00:03:43.879 --> 00:03:46.120 we're going to catch up with Sue Patburg. Sue Patburg, 60 00:03:46.159 --> 00:03:48.159 the head coach at Emery. Emery is in the final four. 61 00:03:48.159 --> 00:03:51.080 They're hitting the Las Vegas and Division three Big one 62 00:03:51.120 --> 00:03:54.159 for Clayton State on the men's side, they knocked off 63 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:58.319 Limestone in overtime and they continue on in the Division 64 00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:02.560 two men's championship. They're going to be facing Lynn Lynn 65 00:04:02.639 --> 00:04:06.319 University out of Florida next weekend. So we're efforting Clayton State. 66 00:04:06.840 --> 00:04:12.199 We are efforting the physical property of a completed interview 67 00:04:12.199 --> 00:04:16.000 with our friends at Emory and Columbus State. The Cougars 68 00:04:16.040 --> 00:04:18.920 won yesterday on the women's side in Division two and 69 00:04:19.240 --> 00:04:22.079 they await their opponent coming up next weekend. They knocked 70 00:04:22.079 --> 00:04:25.160 out the University of North Georgia. So Columbus States women 71 00:04:25.199 --> 00:04:28.319 continue to win a Division two, Clayton State's men continue 72 00:04:28.319 --> 00:04:31.680 to win in Division two, Emery's women continue to win 73 00:04:31.920 --> 00:04:36.279 in Division three. And so we're going to continue to 74 00:04:36.360 --> 00:04:38.920 chase down those guests and those coaches as we go 75 00:04:38.959 --> 00:04:40.439 see if we can get some of them live this 76 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:43.519 week because of the space that we have in the 77 00:04:43.560 --> 00:04:46.360 morning show that we have. So it's a couple of 78 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:48.720 different a couple of different things there, and we also 79 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:51.319 want to catch up over time here in December with 80 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.639 our friends in western North Carolina. I don't know if 81 00:04:54.639 --> 00:04:58.120 you saw Scott Wells post from his account attached to 82 00:04:58.240 --> 00:05:01.680 Gardner Webb's soccer program. But I want to catch up 83 00:05:01.720 --> 00:05:03.560 with all of them and find out how they are 84 00:05:03.680 --> 00:05:07.879 and what do they need. Do they need anything? Are 85 00:05:07.879 --> 00:05:11.199 they okay? What do they need from us? How did 86 00:05:11.199 --> 00:05:13.720 their seasons go, what was it like, what did they learn? 87 00:05:13.800 --> 00:05:15.279 That kind of stuff. So we'll catch up with our 88 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:18.480 friends in western North Carolina as well and find out 89 00:05:18.480 --> 00:05:20.680 how they are and find out what they're up to. 90 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:23.839 So busy times, Like I said, we have the MLS 91 00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:27.319 deadlines and the intrigue of the end of the season 92 00:05:28.120 --> 00:05:30.800 MLS Cups coming up this weekend. It's Red Bulls and 93 00:05:31.079 --> 00:05:33.560 it is lag we'll talk about that, a couple of 94 00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:35.879 different things that we have going on this morning, so 95 00:05:36.279 --> 00:05:38.879 plenty to talk about. Whatever's on your mind from the weekend. 96 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:42.199 How do I think? That's what the folks at Texas 97 00:05:42.240 --> 00:05:44.399 Aying and at the Texas A and M say.

And you know that the people and businesses 118 00:06:48.639 --> 00:06:52.240 will continue to tease even after today. Hey, Cyber Monday 119 00:06:52.279 --> 00:06:54.079 still going on. We still have some time. You still 120 00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.519 have some time left up until midnight you know tomorrow 121 00:06:56.639 --> 00:07:02.399 or Wednesday, after Cyber Monday. How much of your shopping 122 00:07:02.560 --> 00:07:08.639 is done? I am a twelve month a year shopper. 123 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:13.160 So I'm a really bad example as to how much 124 00:07:13.240 --> 00:07:17.000 of my shopping is done. It's kind of done in 125 00:07:17.079 --> 00:07:26.720 fits and starts and stages. Admittedly, I still have half, 126 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:33.839 maybe maybe half of maybe half of my shopping done. 127 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:40.360 I'm thinking that's about right. So how much of your 128 00:07:40.480 --> 00:07:43.480 shopping is done at this point? How much of your 129 00:07:43.480 --> 00:07:48.720 shopping is done, completed? Done? And then after today, how 130 00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:50.639 much of your shopping is done? How much of your 131 00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:55.800 shopping do you get done on Cyber Monday, and how 132 00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:00.360 much of it was already done heading into today. That's 133 00:08:00.920 --> 00:08:06.360 the larger question that I have is you know, if 134 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:12.879 I am someone that shops consistently through the year. Like 135 00:08:12.879 --> 00:08:14.720 I said, I don't know if I'm a good gauge 136 00:08:15.439 --> 00:08:19.680 for letting me know, then letting everybody else know how 137 00:08:19.759 --> 00:08:23.240 much shopping I've done, because then and I'm, of course, 138 00:08:23.319 --> 00:08:27.279 and I'm also an impulse shopper, where, in addition to 139 00:08:27.319 --> 00:08:29.519 shopping year round, if I see a bargain and I 140 00:08:29.560 --> 00:08:34.399 know that something's gonna fit for somebody, then I'll do that. Rich, 141 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:37.000 We'll put a bookmark in that for hour number one, 142 00:08:37.039 --> 00:08:43.039 because that's sports business. So our intrepid producer from Philadelphia, 143 00:08:43.159 --> 00:08:46.639 Rich Ransom So from the Pennsylvania Precinct reporting end this morning. 144 00:08:46.679 --> 00:08:49.960 Good morning rich So, like I said, I'm probably a 145 00:08:49.960 --> 00:08:52.519 bad example, but I wanted to ask and see if 146 00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:55.240 being a bad example, if I was on par with 147 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:59.559 everybody else, or if I'm behind, or if I'm ahead 148 00:08:59.600 --> 00:09:02.440 or all these kinds of things. Morning Pars. So that 149 00:09:02.519 --> 00:09:05.639 was that's my biggest question this morning as we roll 150 00:09:05.720 --> 00:09:08.600 through here cyber Monday. How much shopping do you get 151 00:09:08.639 --> 00:09:11.600 done today? Are you done after today? Outside of the 152 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:14.000 like the impulse oh, I think that person will like this, 153 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:18.600 like the heavyweight shopping that you're locked into your gifts, 154 00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:21.600 you're locked into your guests, you know what's going on. 155 00:09:22.440 --> 00:09:26.559 How much is done after today? And then and like 156 00:09:26.600 --> 00:09:29.000 I said, outside of the whole notion of ooh, I 157 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.480 like in the shiny object shopping, the impulse shopping that 158 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.200 we do, of the hardcore list of shopping and gifts 159 00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.399 and people, after cyber Monday, how much of your shopping 160 00:09:38.440 --> 00:09:42.559 is done? Just a question, That's That's what I was 161 00:09:43.480 --> 00:09:46.759 wondering as I was trying to get everything ready for 162 00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:49.080 this morning. It's like, okay, cyber Monday. You see all 163 00:09:49.080 --> 00:09:51.080 the ads pop up in your emails and everything, and 164 00:09:51.120 --> 00:09:53.480 so cyber Monday here, Cyber Mondy here, cyber money here. 165 00:09:53.679 --> 00:09:58.240 So that was my that was my question for the 166 00:09:58.279 --> 00:10:02.240 morning when it came to Opening Kickoff anyway, is what's 167 00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:05.159 the deal with your shopping and your Cyber Monday and 168 00:10:05.159 --> 00:10:09.399 all that kind of stuff. So that's where that's where 169 00:10:09.440 --> 00:10:14.440 my head was with that so bad example me, most 170 00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:17.120 of it's done, but I shopped twelve months out of 171 00:10:17.120 --> 00:10:18.960 the year. So that's why I said, I wanted to 172 00:10:19.000 --> 00:10:23.039 compare notes this morning for Opening Kickoff, brought to us 173 00:10:23.080 --> 00:10:27.879 by our friends at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff coffeeco dot com. 174 00:10:27.919 --> 00:10:32.120 So early precincts reporting in Abby says she's lucky and 175 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.639 doesn't have to shop doing the traditional Honukah which does 176 00:10:34.679 --> 00:10:38.080 not entail gifts. Never have to do any shopping except 177 00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:43.240 during the year for birthdays.

I apologize for my 264 00:15:44.320 --> 00:15:49.080 my cell phone situation. I have like multiple contingencies to 265 00:15:49.600 --> 00:15:52.919 remind myself to bring my computer and it's fitting. 266 00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:56.200 It's fitting at home right by the doorway. H So 267 00:15:56.399 --> 00:15:57.320 we're on the phone. 268 00:15:57.120 --> 00:15:59.519 Today, that's absolutely nothing wrong with that. Well, you know, 269 00:15:59.639 --> 00:16:01.720 if I sent you the link at nine oh five, 270 00:16:02.080 --> 00:16:05.000 it would have been you know, we'd be all there. 271 00:16:05.639 --> 00:16:09.320 Since last time we talked, Garth Lockerly had his press 272 00:16:09.360 --> 00:16:13.919 conference and discussed the future and Rob Valentino is not 273 00:16:13.960 --> 00:16:17.360 a part of that future with Atlanta United as the 274 00:16:17.440 --> 00:16:19.840 head coach coming up in the twenty twenty five season. 275 00:16:20.639 --> 00:16:23.320 Now we've had that, we're trying to figure out, Okay, 276 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:25.799 is it a technical director, then coach? Is it coach 277 00:16:25.840 --> 00:16:28.279 then technical director? Does everybody sit across the table? Do 278 00:16:28.360 --> 00:16:30.240 they break bread? Do they go to an Italian restaurant 279 00:16:30.279 --> 00:16:32.720 and have a five course meal? Is it speed dating? 280 00:16:32.799 --> 00:16:35.399 Is it two minutes with this guy? You hear a ding, 281 00:16:35.840 --> 00:16:37.600 Garth hits a bell, and you go to the next 282 00:16:37.639 --> 00:16:40.039 guy at the next table. That's where we are right now. 283 00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:44.120 Yeah, I mean, look, let's start with Rob Valentino. 284 00:16:44.440 --> 00:16:48.120 I don't think we were overly surprised that he's not 285 00:16:48.159 --> 00:16:48.919 going to be the choice. 286 00:16:49.080 --> 00:16:52.279 I think certainly the timeline and a lack of announcement 287 00:16:52.399 --> 00:16:54.200 sort of led towards that direction. 288 00:16:54.440 --> 00:16:57.200 But I do think there are a lot of people who. 289 00:16:57.039 --> 00:17:01.960 Were disappointed and certainly liked the late season movement of 290 00:17:02.000 --> 00:17:05.400 the squad. But but Garth locker Away made it very 291 00:17:05.400 --> 00:17:07.400 clear they're looking for someone with a little bit more 292 00:17:07.559 --> 00:17:11.480 experience and and look as the guy essentially running the team, 293 00:17:11.480 --> 00:17:13.640 that that's that's certainly up to him if that's what 294 00:17:13.720 --> 00:17:14.200 he wants. 295 00:17:14.480 --> 00:17:16.480 I'm not in love with the timeline he presented. 296 00:17:16.720 --> 00:17:19.920 I mean, he talked about hoping to have this stuff 297 00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:21.640 in place by Christmas. 298 00:17:21.680 --> 00:17:23.720 I'm I'm sitting here in my Christmas. 299 00:17:23.960 --> 00:17:26.319 We haven't even gotten a Thanksgiving yet at the time 300 00:17:26.359 --> 00:17:29.240 he made these comments, that's five weeks away, Like, like, 301 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:30.319 what's the timeline? 302 00:17:30.359 --> 00:17:31.640 Why is it taking so long? 303 00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:35.079 Maybe it has something to do with teams that are 304 00:17:35.119 --> 00:17:38.599 still involved in MLS Cup playoffs. Certainly we're down to 305 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:41.680 two now, so unless it's one of those two teams. 306 00:17:41.720 --> 00:17:45.200 But I wasn't in love with the timeline, especially when 307 00:17:46.160 --> 00:17:47.799 training camp is going to be right around the corner 308 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:50.880 by the by the time you get things set in place. 309 00:17:51.039 --> 00:17:54.319 But I'm interested. I'm interested to see. 310 00:17:54.160 --> 00:17:57.160 Who they settle on in kind of what the arguments 311 00:17:57.200 --> 00:18:01.319 for that person over Rob Valentino ultimately is gonna be. 312 00:18:02.960 --> 00:18:06.160 I'm hoping it's more than just experience. I think we've 313 00:18:06.160 --> 00:18:08.799 seen across sports. Just because you had experience doesn't mean 314 00:18:08.839 --> 00:18:11.359 you're the right guy for the job. Just because you 315 00:18:11.400 --> 00:18:13.920 don't have experience doesn't mean you're the wrong. 316 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:14.640 Guy for the job. 317 00:18:14.759 --> 00:18:19.400 So I think you're coming in and there's gonna be expectations. 318 00:18:19.480 --> 00:18:22.000 That's the other aspect of this, whether you want to 319 00:18:22.000 --> 00:18:24.599 believe it or not, whether you feel like there's a 320 00:18:24.640 --> 00:18:27.079 rebuilding phase and a lot of movement. 321 00:18:26.799 --> 00:18:29.240 Is going on. We said goodbye to I talked with 322 00:18:29.359 --> 00:18:30.480 you about the future. 323 00:18:30.480 --> 00:18:32.359 I was like, everyone up top is up for grabs, 324 00:18:32.480 --> 00:18:38.079 and we've seen departures already up top. I mean, based 325 00:18:38.119 --> 00:18:41.039 on how this season ended, based on the eliminating Miami 326 00:18:41.119 --> 00:18:44.519 in an unfortunate end to Orlando City, there's gonna be 327 00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.519 expectations coming in. This is not gonna be viewed as 328 00:18:48.559 --> 00:18:50.680 a rebuild, at least not by the fan base. Whether 329 00:18:50.759 --> 00:18:52.839 whether the team views it that way is one thing. 330 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.680 The fan base is not going to and so it's 331 00:18:56.720 --> 00:18:58.599 got to be a situation where this coach can get 332 00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:03.039 up and running immediately and see some results. I mean, 333 00:19:03.319 --> 00:19:05.599 I know it's a long time ago, but the expectations 334 00:19:05.640 --> 00:19:08.279 coming into this past season were top four in the East, 335 00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.240 one of the most potent offenses. 336 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:12.079 In the entire MLS. 337 00:19:12.839 --> 00:19:15.599 I'm not saying you're necessarily gonna have those expectations, but 338 00:19:16.599 --> 00:19:19.079 battling for a home playoff game is gonna be among them, 339 00:19:19.680 --> 00:19:22.559 especially the way you ended the season with I think 340 00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:24.599 six of your last eight or five of your last 341 00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:29.759 seven being wins. That's gonna be the expectations. So they 342 00:19:29.759 --> 00:19:32.240 need to get a guy in quick. If they're gonna 343 00:19:32.279 --> 00:19:36.960 make severe changes and adjustments to the formations and what 344 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:39.920 they're asking players to do and the roles of each guy, 345 00:19:40.000 --> 00:19:43.480 stuff like that, get it in quicker, and so I'd 346 00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:48.680 be quite frankly disappointed if we're still sitting here, you know, 347 00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:53.279 mid December, late December without a name yet. 348 00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:55.400 So hopefully this gets done quick and we can start 349 00:19:55.440 --> 00:19:56.079 to move forward. 350 00:19:56.359 --> 00:19:59.720 What kind of an individual are you looking for in 351 00:19:59.799 --> 00:20:00.559 a head coach? 352 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:07.240 Me specifically, I'm not gonna get into the tactics and 353 00:20:07.279 --> 00:20:09.440 trying to bring in a head coach that maybe fits 354 00:20:09.440 --> 00:20:11.839 the personnel or doesn't fit the personnel. I think there's 355 00:20:11.920 --> 00:20:14.599 enough change over over the course of the given year. 356 00:20:14.640 --> 00:20:16.799 I think you also have a team that's quite young 357 00:20:17.519 --> 00:20:19.799 based on who is gonna stay and who's gonna go 358 00:20:20.880 --> 00:20:24.359 that that you can probably mold and shape some sorts 359 00:20:24.359 --> 00:20:25.319 of playing styles. 360 00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:28.039 And I also think you're gonna have a team that 361 00:20:28.039 --> 00:20:28.440 that is. 362 00:20:28.359 --> 00:20:31.119 Full of player leadership, especially with Gooz coming back, and 363 00:20:31.160 --> 00:20:32.519 congratulations to him. 364 00:20:32.799 --> 00:20:34.319 I know there was a little bit of question on. 365 00:20:34.279 --> 00:20:37.279 That, but but I think I do think you're gonna 366 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:41.319 have some player leadership that's gonna help out the coach 367 00:20:41.400 --> 00:20:45.799 to player messaging. So I'm looking for a winner, and 368 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:50.240 I know that's that's easy to say, but I need 369 00:20:50.279 --> 00:20:54.359 someone that's gonna look like he makes a difference. And 370 00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:58.599 I don't really know how you do that necessarily. I 371 00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:03.079 don't think it's about motivation. Like, like one of my 372 00:21:03.119 --> 00:21:06.640 biggest concerns about the Rob Valentino higher if he would 373 00:21:07.240 --> 00:21:09.440 have been here, is you can't play the way you 374 00:21:09.559 --> 00:21:12.920 played like the last third of the season, or really 375 00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:15.680 the last eight games, Like you can't play with that 376 00:21:15.799 --> 00:21:19.240 mindset and mentality and desperation the whole season, like like 377 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:21.640 you're just gonna burn yourself out. So you need to 378 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:23.960 be able to find wins without feeling like your back 379 00:21:24.039 --> 00:21:27.160 is against the wall. You gotta get a coach who 380 00:21:27.240 --> 00:21:29.759 can get this team off to better starts. Again, they 381 00:21:29.880 --> 00:21:32.200 they solved that issue for the most part in the 382 00:21:32.240 --> 00:21:35.319 last seven, eight, nine, ten games, but it was it 383 00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:37.079 was a serious issue early on. 384 00:21:38.079 --> 00:21:40.559 And so yeah, I'm. 385 00:21:40.400 --> 00:21:42.400 Just looking for someone that that you can look at 386 00:21:42.400 --> 00:21:44.519 the team and he makes changes over the course of 387 00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:46.720 a game, over the course of the season that you 388 00:21:46.759 --> 00:21:49.359 say it feels like he had an impact on the results. 389 00:21:49.519 --> 00:21:51.000 I don't know how you get that. 390 00:21:52.240 --> 00:21:55.240 Maybe it's just his general mindset, mantra and playing style 391 00:21:55.319 --> 00:21:59.119 to begin games. Maybe it's in game adjustments substitution patterns. 392 00:21:59.119 --> 00:22:02.160 Maybe it's just Max the talent that you have finding 393 00:22:02.200 --> 00:22:05.440 something we didn't know was available to us. But I 394 00:22:05.559 --> 00:22:08.119 just want to coach that I feel like is going 395 00:22:08.160 --> 00:22:14.440 to essentially make a difference in results. And that's a 396 00:22:14.519 --> 00:22:17.960 very tough ask in this sort of sport. You're not 397 00:22:18.119 --> 00:22:22.240 exactly diagramming play calls and scripting your first fifteen plays 398 00:22:22.359 --> 00:22:25.640 or stuff like that. But I just want to feel 399 00:22:25.680 --> 00:22:29.240 like the managers makes a difference and hopefully we can 400 00:22:29.279 --> 00:22:30.119 find that guy. 401 00:22:30.119 --> 00:22:31.839 All right, another couple of minutes with a before he 402 00:22:31.880 --> 00:22:34.440 actually goes to work for you know, like getting paid 403 00:22:34.480 --> 00:22:39.759 to do things here On a reaction Monday, player player 404 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:43.200 announcements were made also that we're attached to this roster. 405 00:22:43.400 --> 00:22:46.000 Looks like it's pretty much gonna be the same. Eighteen 406 00:22:46.039 --> 00:22:50.519 players under contract exercised options on four in discussions with three. 407 00:22:51.160 --> 00:22:54.680 Brad Effort, Jay Santi had their contract options exercise with 408 00:22:54.759 --> 00:22:57.240 Santi Sosa. It's because there is a team that is 409 00:22:57.279 --> 00:22:59.680 interested in South America and picking him up, and so 410 00:22:59.720 --> 00:23:01.240 what you do as you pick up the option to 411 00:23:01.240 --> 00:23:04.640 make sure you get paid. So that one's where that 412 00:23:04.799 --> 00:23:08.839 is six players contract options to client Santino Formino, Ronald Hernandez, 413 00:23:09.039 --> 00:23:12.680 Franco we Borro, Jamal, and Tyler. Club remains in negotiations 414 00:23:12.680 --> 00:23:16.200 with Ronald, Jamal and Tyler. All players eligible for the 415 00:23:16.200 --> 00:23:18.960 re entry Draft except for Tyler Wolf, who goes on waivers. 416 00:23:19.359 --> 00:23:21.640 Loan for Daniel Rios expires at the end of the 417 00:23:21.640 --> 00:23:25.680 calendar year, Daxon Q and Quentin Westberg retire. Any surprises 418 00:23:25.680 --> 00:23:28.079 out of that for you. 419 00:23:27.160 --> 00:23:31.880 No, I really don't think so we'll see who they 420 00:23:31.960 --> 00:23:34.160 end up bringing back. I think that could lean into 421 00:23:34.200 --> 00:23:39.119 my surprise or not surprised. But but you know, the 422 00:23:39.279 --> 00:23:44.359 obvious is the obvious with respector Rios and Wolf and Tira, 423 00:23:44.559 --> 00:23:48.319 you need someone more potent up top, someone that you 424 00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:50.799 can really just have a little bit more faith in. 425 00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:55.079 So so if those guys are back, I don't really 426 00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:58.160 expect it to be with the same expectations and necessarily 427 00:23:58.200 --> 00:24:00.519 the same role as we saw all them in. 428 00:24:00.519 --> 00:24:02.920 This year, at least not for Tierra. 429 00:24:03.039 --> 00:24:04.640 And I know he's getting up there at age I 430 00:24:04.680 --> 00:24:08.079 don't know, you know, you know, levels of fitness at 431 00:24:08.079 --> 00:24:10.000 that age in this sport, you know, you know when 432 00:24:10.000 --> 00:24:13.519 their prime is probably the youngest prime that you're gonna 433 00:24:13.559 --> 00:24:16.480 have across any major sport. It might be in soccer 434 00:24:17.680 --> 00:24:21.359 unless you're a running back in the NFL, but. 435 00:24:20.839 --> 00:24:24.599 But outside of that, So no, I don't think any surprises. 436 00:24:24.880 --> 00:24:26.480 I really was. 437 00:24:28.799 --> 00:24:31.039 I wouldn't say nervous is not the right word, but 438 00:24:31.039 --> 00:24:35.440 but full of wonder. If they were gonna bring Guzan back, 439 00:24:36.839 --> 00:24:40.079 I think certainly there would be an understanding of the 440 00:24:40.079 --> 00:24:44.680 timeline for him, and more specifically a timeline for Josh Cohen. 441 00:24:45.240 --> 00:24:48.640 I think Gouz, to his credit, made that an incredibly 442 00:24:49.319 --> 00:24:52.559 difficult decision, and maybe a decision that was easy in 443 00:24:52.599 --> 00:24:54.920 the other direction to bring him back and give him 444 00:24:54.960 --> 00:24:57.880 one more year. I don't think they necessarily planned on it. 445 00:24:58.680 --> 00:25:00.720 I think they saw the form last year. They bring 446 00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:03.279 in Cohen, they set this timeline. We're gonna let Gooz 447 00:25:03.359 --> 00:25:06.000 right out into the sun, and he's got a complete 448 00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:10.880 throwback season, and so I think they had an original plan. 449 00:25:11.000 --> 00:25:11.759 And this is just me. 450 00:25:12.039 --> 00:25:13.799 I have no idea what the team's mindset is, but 451 00:25:13.960 --> 00:25:16.519 I think the original plan was a line of secession 452 00:25:16.519 --> 00:25:18.480 and this was gonna be Goose's last year and Josh 453 00:25:18.480 --> 00:25:20.680 Cohen was gonna come in and take over the starting 454 00:25:20.720 --> 00:25:23.759 role and we move forward. I think Gooz played so 455 00:25:23.839 --> 00:25:26.759 well he made it an easy decision the other direction to. 456 00:25:26.720 --> 00:25:29.279 Say, hey, we're gonna scrap that plan. This guy still 457 00:25:29.279 --> 00:25:30.759 got it. We're gonna go with him one more year. 458 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:34.400 I think he's important to a team that's full of 459 00:25:34.440 --> 00:25:37.839 young guys that are still trying to build together. Probably 460 00:25:38.720 --> 00:25:43.240 also again if it were a different situation with your manager. 461 00:25:43.279 --> 00:25:47.359 But I think Gooz's experience can go bey on the 462 00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:51.920 field and be very important integral in communication between the 463 00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:53.960 manager and the rest of the team. I think that's 464 00:25:53.960 --> 00:25:56.400 an important aspect that I don't want to overlook as well. 465 00:25:56.480 --> 00:26:00.279 So the biggest surprise, which really isn't that big of 466 00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:02.920 a surprise based on how he performed, especially down the stretch, 467 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:03.720 would be. 468 00:26:03.680 --> 00:26:04.559 Goose coming back. 469 00:26:04.799 --> 00:26:06.799 Yeah, if you had told me at mid season, I 470 00:26:06.839 --> 00:26:08.559 was like, Yeah, they're they're they're probably gonna let him 471 00:26:08.640 --> 00:26:12.440 ride off sunset and and it's it's coincterned. But that's 472 00:26:12.519 --> 00:26:14.599 not the case. I'm very happy to see that be 473 00:26:14.720 --> 00:26:18.559 the case. But of all the ones that were kind 474 00:26:18.599 --> 00:26:21.519 of minor surprises, maybe that one and then Ronald Hernandez. 475 00:26:21.680 --> 00:26:24.640 I think it's been so incredibly valuable for this team 476 00:26:25.079 --> 00:26:27.680 because of the variety of roles he can play. He's 477 00:26:27.680 --> 00:26:32.319 so flexible as a player that obviously, contract wise, they 478 00:26:32.559 --> 00:26:33.920 had to do what they had to do. But I 479 00:26:33.960 --> 00:26:36.319 would be a little surprised if they don't find a 480 00:26:36.319 --> 00:26:37.359 way to get him back. 481 00:26:37.240 --> 00:26:38.279 In the organization. 482 00:26:38.519 --> 00:26:40.559 All right, the fourth held up the light board and 483 00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:44.240 they added some minutes here we went past that fourth. 484 00:26:44.559 --> 00:26:46.480 What the fourth was doing? What's your week like? So 485 00:26:46.519 --> 00:26:47.799 you can get out of here and go get paid 486 00:26:47.799 --> 00:26:48.119 to work? 487 00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:52.599 Yeah, relatively normal this week to be honest. So we 488 00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:57.279 got through the post Thanksgiving nonsense and so and so 489 00:26:57.319 --> 00:27:00.839 we're we're just driving forward. Really enjoyed I know it 490 00:27:00.880 --> 00:27:03.960 was a day full of college football Saturday, but really 491 00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:08.319 did enjoy the MLS Cup playoffs, the conference semi finals here, 492 00:27:09.160 --> 00:27:12.200 so looking forward to MLS Cup when when we get there. 493 00:27:12.240 --> 00:27:16.519 But it was actually a pretty good week of competitive 494 00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:17.599 soccer there in the MLS. 495 00:27:17.680 --> 00:27:19.960 So so, I know a lot of people missed it. 496 00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:20.720 I was. 497 00:27:21.119 --> 00:27:23.440 I was on the computer with the four TVs turned 498 00:27:23.480 --> 00:27:26.240 up to college football, but I was tuned in, ready 499 00:27:26.240 --> 00:27:29.480 to roll, and it paid off with some quality soccer. 500 00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:31.440 All right, my friend, get out of here. We'll see 501 00:27:31.440 --> 00:27:32.079 you next Monday. 502 00:27:32.440 --> 00:27:33.519 You got it, appreciate it. 503 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:34.079 There we go. 504 00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:38.160 That's Abe, and Abe's gonna go and work at ninety 505 00:27:38.200 --> 00:27:39.960 two in the game and actually get paid for a living. 506 00:27:40.279 --> 00:27:43.039 And he's done talking with us, right, So there you go. 507 00:27:43.440 --> 00:27:46.319 A Abby's asking about Liam Welch and all the assistants. 508 00:27:46.599 --> 00:27:49.559 They are much like Rob under contract. I want to 509 00:27:49.559 --> 00:27:52.160 say till the end of the calendar year. Then we 510 00:27:52.200 --> 00:27:55.440 may have some answers as to what their futures are. 511 00:27:55.799 --> 00:27:58.839 But I do not know about the futures of the 512 00:27:58.880 --> 00:28:04.440 assistant coaches, and you know, the whole idea of I 513 00:28:04.480 --> 00:28:08.440 know that morning, let's say morning, Will Morning, Rich. David Moyes, 514 00:28:08.880 --> 00:28:12.200 David Moyes. Yeah see, now, Rich, you could probably just 515 00:28:12.240 --> 00:28:14.640 as easily sit there and say Sam Allardice, and I 516 00:28:14.680 --> 00:28:18.240 can guarant damn to you. I'm sure that somebody attached 517 00:28:18.240 --> 00:28:22.079 to Sam Allardyce probably sent a resume into the Children 518 00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:23.839 in So Health Care of Atlanta training ground to try 519 00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:26.640 and it's like, hey, big Sam's available, Hey check it out. 520 00:28:26.680 --> 00:28:29.880 You know. But that was like way back in the summer, 521 00:28:30.039 --> 00:28:31.880 you know, like way back in the summer. I'm sure 522 00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:38.839 that there was a LinkedIn request from Sam Allardice to 523 00:28:39.400 --> 00:28:41.799 Garth Loggerway or a Land United or wherever it was, 524 00:28:42.839 --> 00:28:51.559 so you know, yeah, so yeah, David Moyes, David Moyes 525 00:28:51.559 --> 00:28:56.200 apparently is linked to some possible openings in the Premier 526 00:28:56.319 --> 00:28:59.119 League if things do not go certain ways for certain coaches. 527 00:28:59.359 --> 00:29:01.279 But and like I said, we got that to get 528 00:29:01.279 --> 00:29:03.680 into because it's a multiple match week ficture fantasy teams 529 00:29:03.720 --> 00:29:07.519 when it comes to that. But David Moys, David Moys, 530 00:29:07.519 --> 00:29:10.720 everybody here, you go four cards, like I guess EMMS 531 00:29:10.759 --> 00:29:13.200 will say no news to distract from MLS Cup this week, 532 00:29:13.279 --> 00:29:15.000 then that could very well be you don't want to 533 00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.599 upstage you've got and legitimately you only have six weeks 534 00:29:18.640 --> 00:29:22.359 before training camp. Since we're in December, it is literally 535 00:29:22.359 --> 00:29:25.920 mid January's training camp and if you are a club, 536 00:29:27.000 --> 00:29:32.119 then you don't want to distract from MLS Cup. Although 537 00:29:32.319 --> 00:29:36.000 there were some teams that did some things going into 538 00:29:36.039 --> 00:29:38.279 the weekend and through the weekend that we haven't had 539 00:29:38.279 --> 00:29:40.079 the chance to talk about that, we will here coming 540 00:29:40.119 --> 00:29:44.799 up in just a sec. But are we happy that 541 00:29:44.839 --> 00:29:48.279 the Purple team lost to Red Bulls. Abby says she 542 00:29:48.319 --> 00:29:51.359 hates both of them, but she hates the Purple team more. 543 00:29:52.279 --> 00:29:56.640 I understand that absolutely true. Morning Will Abby says one 544 00:29:56.680 --> 00:29:59.480 year contract would have been nice for Robs. Some of 545 00:29:59.519 --> 00:30:02.400 them met the supporters met with Garthur October sort of 546 00:30:02.440 --> 00:30:04.039 knew from what was said, Rob wasn't going to be 547 00:30:04.079 --> 00:30:06.759 the pick, but we're still hoping. Will is suggesting the 548 00:30:06.839 --> 00:30:10.440 likes of Jim Curtin and Gio Savarees going through the 549 00:30:10.559 --> 00:30:14.720 roster moves. Jamal liked him, but he's way too injury prone. 550 00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:19.720 And yes, Abby has to pay attention to the flags 551 00:30:19.720 --> 00:30:21.720 in the stadium, assuming Leam is gonna stay since he's 552 00:30:21.759 --> 00:30:25.599 the keeper. Coach Michael says, I think Garth's done a 553 00:30:25.599 --> 00:30:27.680 disservice to the next coach immediately has to be better 554 00:30:27.680 --> 00:30:30.359 than Rob better win and win fast. And so Derek 555 00:30:30.519 --> 00:30:33.279 is like, yeah, love to see it, and the the 556 00:30:33.319 --> 00:30:39.440 acronym o f yo okay. So Abe mentioned what happened 557 00:30:39.440 --> 00:30:43.720 this past weekend. Abby's mentioned it as well. You had 558 00:30:44.720 --> 00:30:49.000 Red Bulls beat the purple team that was that was 559 00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:57.319 the and if under a traditional environment the final being 560 00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:03.279 Red Bulls and lag it would be tremendous because if 561 00:31:03.319 --> 00:31:05.799 you are over the air and you are a network, 562 00:31:05.839 --> 00:31:09.400 you're looking at New Jersey and you're looking at Los Angeles. 563 00:31:10.079 --> 00:31:13.039 In theory, you might have eight people watching from New Jersey, 564 00:31:13.119 --> 00:31:16.720 considering it's not really New York. But then Los Angeles 565 00:31:16.759 --> 00:31:19.559 would be locked in place would be sold out. Dignity 566 00:31:19.599 --> 00:31:23.440 Hell Sports Park, Carson, California, it would be sold out. 567 00:31:23.559 --> 00:31:27.039 And so in a traditional sense, with the matchup being 568 00:31:27.079 --> 00:31:30.119 what it is, if it was the old days, and 569 00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:34.279 I mean literally just like two years ago, the networks 570 00:31:34.319 --> 00:31:36.440 would be pleased that you would have the two major 571 00:31:36.480 --> 00:31:39.759 media markets, one being somewhat adjacent and the other one 572 00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:45.920 being right there attached to a final with the way 573 00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:52.160 things are now involving the television partner that or the 574 00:31:52.200 --> 00:31:55.000 streaming service. Instead of a television partner, the streaming service 575 00:31:55.039 --> 00:31:58.039 that is now attached to the contract from Major League Soccer. 576 00:32:00.160 --> 00:32:00.319 NDER. 577 00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:03.039 And these are numbers that we don't get unless there 578 00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:08.599 is a press release after the fact where MLS cup 579 00:32:08.720 --> 00:32:13.680 will have X number of viewers, x number of good 580 00:32:13.759 --> 00:32:17.640 rich thank you. So the final is on Big Fox, okay, 581 00:32:17.880 --> 00:32:22.920 so that will be interesting. So I retract my statement 582 00:32:22.960 --> 00:32:27.920 to a certain degree. So you have free side of 583 00:32:27.920 --> 00:32:31.079 Apple TV, Fox Fox deport this. Okay, So that was 584 00:32:31.119 --> 00:32:34.279 so they've looped back, all right, So I take back 585 00:32:34.319 --> 00:32:39.680 part of my opening statement. I wonder now I will 586 00:32:39.720 --> 00:32:42.359 tweak what I was saying. I wonder what the numbers 587 00:32:42.359 --> 00:32:46.000 will be. I wonder what the streaming numbers will be. 588 00:32:46.960 --> 00:32:49.240 I wonder what the minutes will be when it comes 589 00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:53.480 to the streaming service in and of itself. And I 590 00:32:53.680 --> 00:32:58.480 wonder what with LA and New York adjacent, if the 591 00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:02.480 numbers will be impacted one way or the other when 592 00:33:02.519 --> 00:33:05.240 it comes to streaming versus over the air. Will the 593 00:33:05.319 --> 00:33:09.279 over the air audience be less, will they go will 594 00:33:09.319 --> 00:33:12.200 it be more? Because it is the two major media markets, 595 00:33:12.200 --> 00:33:17.000 one media and one media adjacent. I'm intrigued and I'm 596 00:33:17.039 --> 00:33:20.119 and I'm intrigued at how because you know that Fox 597 00:33:20.160 --> 00:33:26.240 and Fox deportees will sit there and they will they 598 00:33:26.279 --> 00:33:28.720 will tout their numbers, and they will salute and they 599 00:33:28.720 --> 00:33:30.480 will have trumpets going on in the air and all 600 00:33:30.519 --> 00:33:37.839 this kind of stuff. And you look at Apple TV 601 00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:42.519 and I wonder just how much information we will get 602 00:33:42.559 --> 00:33:47.559 from them at the end of the day about subscribers 603 00:33:48.039 --> 00:33:52.640 streaming minutes peak time. Because we get all this information 604 00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:56.480 in traditional over the air television, we get that, but 605 00:33:56.559 --> 00:33:58.920 I wonder how much of that same information will be 606 00:33:58.960 --> 00:34:03.279 getting from Apple tear. It would be nice to have 607 00:34:03.359 --> 00:34:07.000 some kind of metrics, even I mean, because Peacock does 608 00:34:07.039 --> 00:34:10.079 it all the time. Peacock does it all the time, 609 00:34:10.079 --> 00:34:11.639 and they sit there and they'll be like, well, you know, 610 00:34:12.639 --> 00:34:15.320 we had this many minutes and this many people and 611 00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:17.519 this was our peak viewing period and this and this 612 00:34:17.559 --> 00:34:21.639 and this and this and this. So I wonder if 613 00:34:21.719 --> 00:34:26.000 Apple TV will this time next week or probably Tuesday 614 00:34:26.079 --> 00:34:30.239 or something, after they do their analysis, Fox and Fox 615 00:34:30.239 --> 00:34:32.320 deporteeste will get you the overnights, and they'll get you 616 00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:34.039 the quick numbers and that kind of a thing. So 617 00:34:34.079 --> 00:34:35.840 you get a quick rating, you get a quick number, 618 00:34:35.840 --> 00:34:39.119 you get quick households, and then that'll roll over into 619 00:34:39.599 --> 00:34:42.440 the early part of the next week. I wonder how 620 00:34:42.519 --> 00:34:46.719 much information we get from Apple, Just genuinely curious because 621 00:34:46.800 --> 00:34:51.079 this is the top two media markets and what it 622 00:34:51.119 --> 00:34:56.719 will look like. So that, to me is my biggest 623 00:34:57.000 --> 00:35:02.239 thought pattern involving the top two media markets, not having 624 00:35:02.280 --> 00:35:07.760 to do with the folks in Fort Lauderdale for a 625 00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:10.119 championship game. What does it look like? I want to know. 626 00:35:10.519 --> 00:35:12.679 I will be intrigued as to what Apple tells us 627 00:35:12.719 --> 00:35:17.920 this time next week or eight days from now. Now, 628 00:35:18.320 --> 00:35:24.159 Michael Valverdi comes up with a point. The pooge injury 629 00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:26.400 completely changes the match on Saturday. Think it makes New 630 00:35:26.440 --> 00:35:28.440 York's chances way better. We'll get into juice boxes and 631 00:35:28.480 --> 00:35:34.079 a bit will monitor them as we go. But here 632 00:35:34.119 --> 00:35:39.639 are two moments from late in the match involving that 633 00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:46.679 particular gentleman and what he was up to for his club. 634 00:35:48.559 --> 00:35:54.480 As Lag would eventually win the Western Conference Final over 635 00:35:54.920 --> 00:35:58.800 Seattle Sounders once again courtesy of our friends at Apple 636 00:35:58.880 --> 00:36:03.079 TV and Major League Soccer Yellow Card Challenge. But good 637 00:36:03.400 --> 00:36:04.920 first time to Delcado. 638 00:36:05.239 --> 00:36:11.400 Delcado drives it, yobleh and pack poaching plot new Who. 639 00:36:15.679 --> 00:36:17.639 I mean, it's a team that's worth fifteen goals in 640 00:36:17.719 --> 00:36:18.360 three games. 641 00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:21.760 I granted some of those when the game's gone. 642 00:36:22.000 --> 00:36:25.400 Yeah, you know, me being the wet blanket that I am. 643 00:36:25.480 --> 00:36:26.480 But it is. 644 00:36:44.920 --> 00:36:45.800 Oh, here we are. 645 00:36:45.760 --> 00:36:51.559 Pontificating about Seattle and it's just a bad giveaway from 646 00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:55.760 Alex rolled on spacings. There you lose possession and for 647 00:36:55.800 --> 00:36:59.800 the first time in this entire second half, spaces were 648 00:36:59.800 --> 00:37:03.960 there to be had. But everybody talks about pooch and paint, 649 00:37:04.079 --> 00:37:09.840 sil and tack. How about you ovilish twenty tlus goals 650 00:37:10.079 --> 00:37:13.000 in all competitions. 651 00:37:11.800 --> 00:37:15.239 And the biggest one in the Western. 652 00:37:14.800 --> 00:37:21.760 Conference Final ten years since they've hosted this thing ten years. Man, 653 00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:27.440 I feel like Jeremy Piven in gross point blank ten years. 654 00:37:27.760 --> 00:37:30.519 But anyway, I played those two moments for a reason. 655 00:37:32.000 --> 00:37:33.880 I don't know how many of you watched the Western 656 00:37:33.880 --> 00:37:36.920 Conference Final. We had a watch along at SDH and 657 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:39.599 Jason doing the yeoman job that he was. We all 658 00:37:39.679 --> 00:37:42.239 kind of dropped in for the Eastern Conference Final. I 659 00:37:42.320 --> 00:37:44.719 had to leave because the Boss came home after spending 660 00:37:44.760 --> 00:37:48.639 a week with the mother in law, and so Jason 661 00:37:48.679 --> 00:37:50.840 did the yeomen work and he and he was there 662 00:37:50.880 --> 00:37:53.199 with you guys for the end of the watch along 663 00:37:53.239 --> 00:37:57.800 on our YouTube channel. Ricky Pooge after the match had 664 00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:02.360 a towel over his head and was hugging Greg Vanny 665 00:38:02.440 --> 00:38:08.639 and they were having a conversation. It was divulged that 666 00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:15.559 Ricky Pooge had a knee injury or suffered a knee 667 00:38:15.599 --> 00:38:24.360 injury in the game. In the game, Ricky Poosh got 668 00:38:24.360 --> 00:38:29.599 a knee injury in the match and played the final 669 00:38:29.840 --> 00:38:35.440 thirty minutes with it. That included those two moments that 670 00:38:35.480 --> 00:38:40.280 we played for you. Just a bit ago. Sunday, the 671 00:38:40.320 --> 00:38:43.360 Galaxy confirmed Ricky pooshe suffered a torn ACL on his 672 00:38:43.440 --> 00:38:47.079 left knee. He's gonna miss MLS Cup torn ACL revealed 673 00:38:47.079 --> 00:38:50.119 in an MRI performed on Sunday morning. This is from Lagayale. 674 00:38:50.199 --> 00:38:54.119 This is from LA Galaxy's front office. Pooge sustained the 675 00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:57.360 injury in the second half of the match, continuing to 676 00:38:57.400 --> 00:39:00.480 play over thirty minutes despite his injury, fighting the game 677 00:39:00.480 --> 00:39:04.320 winning assist on Yoviolich's eighty fifth minute goal poos you 678 00:39:04.320 --> 00:39:06.199 will undergo surgery on a date to be determined. I'm 679 00:39:06.199 --> 00:39:07.760 guessing they've got to let the swelling go down and 680 00:39:07.800 --> 00:39:09.519 they've got to get into a safe point to where 681 00:39:09.559 --> 00:39:15.639 they can fix the ACL. Seventeen and twenty this year, 682 00:39:15.719 --> 00:39:18.440 thirty seven goal contributions in thirty six matches play at 683 00:39:18.440 --> 00:39:22.559 all comps. Four matches played, four starts in the playoffs, 684 00:39:22.599 --> 00:39:27.639 four goals, four assists. Finished the MLS regular season sixteen 685 00:39:27.719 --> 00:39:31.079 and fourteen in twenty nine matches played, twenty eight starts, 686 00:39:31.960 --> 00:39:37.639 thirty goal contributions in MLS regular season play thirty seven 687 00:39:37.760 --> 00:39:41.159 goal contributions thirty six matches played, thirty four starts, all comps. 688 00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:48.360 So that came from La Galaxy last night about seven o'clock. 689 00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:56.440 Right now, juice boxes have LAG at a minus one 690 00:39:56.559 --> 00:40:02.239 twenty two ninety minute draws A plus two eighty eight 691 00:40:02.800 --> 00:40:04.719 Red Bulls to win in ninety minutes a plus two 692 00:40:04.760 --> 00:40:12.480 eighty nine. Derek mentions the burying of the lead by 693 00:40:12.639 --> 00:40:19.480 Lag in that press release. Ricky Pooge played thirty minutes 694 00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:24.719 on a torn ACL that included the imagination and the 695 00:40:24.760 --> 00:40:27.440 passing that we saw in the first sixty minutes, thinking 696 00:40:27.480 --> 00:40:30.039 you know, okay, Ricky Pooh, you're going to Ricky Pooge. Now, 697 00:40:30.079 --> 00:40:31.719 of course we're all gonna sit there and go back 698 00:40:31.760 --> 00:40:34.400 and go, okay, what was the moment where it happened 699 00:40:34.440 --> 00:40:37.360 when we go back and watch the match. But Ricky 700 00:40:37.400 --> 00:40:44.400 Pooge played thirty minutes on a torn ACL and got 701 00:40:44.400 --> 00:40:48.920 the assist on the goal to the Bishop Dejon Joviolch 702 00:40:49.159 --> 00:40:54.920 which got lag in the MLS Cup final. I will 703 00:40:54.920 --> 00:41:01.400 be intrigued to find out how Greg Vanny will I'm 704 00:41:01.400 --> 00:41:05.440 not gonna use the word fix, alter his lineup and 705 00:41:05.559 --> 00:41:07.920 figure out who's going to be the person pulling the strings? 706 00:41:08.000 --> 00:41:11.800 Is it Diego Fagundez. I will be intrigued to listen 707 00:41:11.800 --> 00:41:13.880 to what's going on with Greg Vanny this week as 708 00:41:13.920 --> 00:41:18.119 to as how he administers a fix to the lineup 709 00:41:18.159 --> 00:41:23.400 with the injury to Ricky Pooge. But Derek had it 710 00:41:24.760 --> 00:41:29.159 from the press release they buried the lead Ricky poshe 711 00:41:29.199 --> 00:41:32.559 played thirty minutes with a torn ACL and continue to 712 00:41:32.639 --> 00:41:37.719 do what he did looked about as normal as it 713 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:41.800 was seven o'clock last night, we find out he's got 714 00:41:41.840 --> 00:41:45.760 a torn ACL and that added the context to me anyway, 715 00:41:45.880 --> 00:41:49.840 seeing Ricky Pooge literally with a towel over his head 716 00:41:50.480 --> 00:41:53.039 talking to Vanny. And then there was the moment that 717 00:41:53.079 --> 00:41:58.480 Pooge had with his parents where I think that Pooge's 718 00:41:58.559 --> 00:42:00.840 back was to the camera and wasn't There was no 719 00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:04.400 way to read obviously Ricky Pooge's lips, but I think 720 00:42:04.440 --> 00:42:08.800 he was breaking the news to his dad. That's something right. 721 00:42:11.079 --> 00:42:15.840 So Ricky Pooge played thirty minutes on a torn acl 722 00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:18.400 and included the game winning assist on the goal that 723 00:42:18.440 --> 00:42:24.199 got them to MLS Cup once again. I will be 724 00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:27.920 intrigued as to see what Greg Vanny does and how 725 00:42:27.960 --> 00:42:36.599 his lineup is different come this weekend. Rich says he 726 00:42:36.639 --> 00:42:39.000 still thinks that the Galaxy win, Orlando wasn't ready for 727 00:42:39.039 --> 00:42:42.880 the moment against the Red Bulls. Galaxy would be. Yeah, 728 00:42:42.920 --> 00:42:44.360 I think it's gonna be. I think it's gonna be 729 00:42:44.360 --> 00:42:46.199 a tall order for Red Bulls. But we've seen with 730 00:42:46.280 --> 00:42:48.119 Red Bulls that this is not our normal Red bull 731 00:42:49.480 --> 00:42:51.960 They are so much different with Emil Forsburg in that 732 00:42:52.000 --> 00:42:55.320 lineup that we have seen the difference with Red Bulls 733 00:42:55.320 --> 00:43:02.440 with and without. Had Forstburg been hell, they would not 734 00:43:02.480 --> 00:43:04.920 have been the seed that they were. That is obvious 735 00:43:04.960 --> 00:43:09.920 to me anyway, So emil Forsburg, had he been healthy, 736 00:43:10.000 --> 00:43:12.159 they would have been higher up in the in the standing. 737 00:43:12.239 --> 00:43:14.199 So I think it's a bit of a false read 738 00:43:15.639 --> 00:43:18.480 as to well, they're only, you know, the seed that 739 00:43:18.519 --> 00:43:22.400 they are, when in fact they are a far better 740 00:43:22.519 --> 00:43:30.000 team than that. But right now, heading into Los Angeles 741 00:43:30.880 --> 00:43:39.119 for MLS Cup, they are a plus two eighty nine 742 00:43:39.400 --> 00:43:43.440 heading out to California. Heading out to California, a plus 743 00:43:43.480 --> 00:43:45.559 two eighty nine. Obviously, we will monitor that as we 744 00:43:45.639 --> 00:43:50.400 go this week. But yeah, Red Bulls as a seven seed. 745 00:43:50.480 --> 00:43:55.440 I'm sorry they're not a seven seed, but we will 746 00:43:55.480 --> 00:44:01.480 see once again how Sandro Schwartz attacks lag without Ricky 747 00:44:01.519 --> 00:44:06.719 Pooge and rich about ratings as the rumor as the 748 00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:09.000 black helicopter folks like to say. MLS and Apple don't 749 00:44:09.039 --> 00:44:12.360 like the ratings, they don't release the numbers. So there 750 00:44:12.400 --> 00:44:17.440 you go. David talking about TV markets New York City 751 00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:19.920 and Boca Fort Lottedom pretty much the same population, just 752 00:44:20.000 --> 00:44:22.239 older down south Miami. Red bull the same thing, right, 753 00:44:26.079 --> 00:44:33.079 Oh man, let's see. Uh. Will was discussing coaching, coaching, 754 00:44:33.119 --> 00:44:36.679 the coaching vacancy for Atlanta United mentioned a couple of names, 755 00:44:38.320 --> 00:44:43.360 Jim curt and Gia Savareesi. I think that one of 756 00:44:43.400 --> 00:44:54.599 those individuals probably is going to be sought after by 757 00:44:54.639 --> 00:45:02.159 another team, and that team is Toronto bark Keeler joining 758 00:45:02.199 --> 00:45:06.360 us in about ten minutes, of course, happening in a 759 00:45:06.519 --> 00:45:11.639 Friday news dump situation, So I get I give Toronto 760 00:45:11.760 --> 00:45:13.519 FC a boatload of credit for this. By the way, 761 00:45:14.599 --> 00:45:20.480 in a Friday news dump where the United States media 762 00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:27.000 is in black Friday mode the day after Thanksgiving. You know, 763 00:45:27.039 --> 00:45:29.440 it's still a holiday weekend. It's a four day weekend 764 00:45:29.480 --> 00:45:33.119 for the US media and for people in the United States. 765 00:45:35.360 --> 00:45:39.639 All right, So US news media is in a holiday weekend, 766 00:45:39.920 --> 00:45:47.639 four day weekend, four o'clock on a Friday afternoon. You 767 00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:54.280 get this from Toronto FC. Toronto FC announced today that 768 00:45:54.360 --> 00:45:56.679 John Herdman has resigned his position as head coach of 769 00:45:56.719 --> 00:46:02.400 the club effective today. Quote. Personally, I've made the difficult 770 00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:04.320 decision that it's the right time for me to step 771 00:46:04.360 --> 00:46:06.920 away from the club as the organization defines its vision 772 00:46:06.960 --> 00:46:12.039 for the future, said Herdman. Continues, it has been an 773 00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:14.239 honor to where the Toronto FC Creston contribute to the 774 00:46:14.239 --> 00:46:16.360 growth of the club. Working with this dedicated group of 775 00:46:16.400 --> 00:46:18.559 players and staff has been a true privilege. I want 776 00:46:18.559 --> 00:46:22.440 to thank Keith Pelly and MLSC the ownership for the opportunity, 777 00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:24.039 and I also want to thank the incredible fans for 778 00:46:24.039 --> 00:46:25.840 the support they've shown me, both on and off the pitch. 779 00:46:25.840 --> 00:46:28.679 I wish the organization's success going forward, and I look 780 00:46:28.719 --> 00:46:31.920 forward to the next chapter in my career. Keith Pelly 781 00:46:31.960 --> 00:46:38.880 had a quote last sentence. Toronto Herdman was named head 782 00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:40.719 coach at Toronto SEEN in August twenty twenty three. During 783 00:46:40.760 --> 00:46:42.079 his tenure, he guided to the rest of the League's 784 00:46:42.079 --> 00:46:44.400 Cup group stage in the Canadian Championship Final. That's the 785 00:46:44.519 --> 00:46:51.079 end of the press release, and Rich quoting the line 786 00:46:51.119 --> 00:46:59.800 of the day. Traditionally in this situation, Morning Harry for us, 787 00:47:00.239 --> 00:47:04.000 like I said, the US media was in a four 788 00:47:04.079 --> 00:47:09.880 day weekend, which is ninety percent of the franchises in 789 00:47:09.960 --> 00:47:15.840 Major League Soccer, but at three point fifty seven as 790 00:47:15.840 --> 00:47:18.000 it was released by Toronto FC on a Friday. Anyway 791 00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:25.199 you get that from Toronto FC. So John Herdman in 792 00:47:25.280 --> 00:47:28.320 his press release, I have made the difficult decision that 793 00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:29.960 it's the right time for me to step away from 794 00:47:30.000 --> 00:47:32.440 the club as the organization defines its vision for the future. 795 00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:37.840 I have made the difficult decision it's the right time 796 00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:45.039 for me to step away. Sure you have with everything 797 00:47:45.119 --> 00:47:49.239 going on right now, with all the investigations personally, I 798 00:47:49.440 --> 00:47:55.199 have made the decision it's time to step away. You 799 00:47:55.239 --> 00:47:59.800 want to talk about helicopters and thought patterns and really, 800 00:48:00.320 --> 00:48:02.679 I mean this is a second Amy moment of a 801 00:48:02.800 --> 00:48:09.840 really and yes Rich as the line Rich says, or 802 00:48:09.880 --> 00:48:12.960 a Friday in Canada, lo l That is an offshoot 803 00:48:13.280 --> 00:48:18.880 of a beautiful line from Jay on Right, who is 804 00:48:18.920 --> 00:48:24.960 a longtime sports center TSN host, where there was a 805 00:48:25.119 --> 00:48:27.239 there was a one liner that he dropped once having 806 00:48:27.320 --> 00:48:30.320 to do with last week, and he said, there are 807 00:48:30.320 --> 00:48:32.800 no games and I'm paraphrasing, there are no National Hockey 808 00:48:32.880 --> 00:48:37.199 League games today, meaning on Thanksgiving Day here in the 809 00:48:37.280 --> 00:48:40.760 United States, because it is American Thanksgiving, or as we 810 00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:44.880 in Canada call it Thursday. He goes right on with 811 00:48:44.880 --> 00:48:48.760 the highlights. So yes, Rich, with the yes Rich, with 812 00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:51.400 the offshoot of that Jay on Right line. It was 813 00:48:51.440 --> 00:48:54.639 Friday in Canada, so it was a Friday news dump 814 00:48:54.679 --> 00:48:58.679 in Canada, and it was a four day weekend news 815 00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:06.960 dump in the United States, So that was where you 816 00:49:07.159 --> 00:49:13.119 ended up with John Herdman coming out with this couple 817 00:49:13.199 --> 00:49:15.400 of sentences, Keith Pelly coming out with a couple of 818 00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:18.079 sentences in a news dump to beat all news dumps. 819 00:49:19.840 --> 00:49:26.280 So the og to TFC can envision a cheater as 820 00:49:26.280 --> 00:49:30.239 its head coach and Rich says, yeah, can't be fired 821 00:49:30.280 --> 00:49:33.760 if I quit. I'm guessing this is one of those 822 00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:37.599 wink wink, nudge, nudge. How about you do this kind 823 00:49:37.599 --> 00:49:40.159 of a deal. I'm guessing there was some kind of 824 00:49:40.159 --> 00:49:43.320 a settlement, tell you what we will pay you X, 825 00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:48.559 just go ahead and do it now. My guess is 826 00:49:49.119 --> 00:49:52.800 Toronto FC anticipates that there is going to be more 827 00:49:52.920 --> 00:50:00.400 news or developments on this going forward. And both Herdman 828 00:50:00.480 --> 00:50:05.719 and Toronto FC were eviscerated in the Friday slash weekend 829 00:50:05.800 --> 00:50:15.400 media in Canada. So with the drone investigation continuing in 830 00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:24.840 Canada right now, so you have John Herdman being continues 831 00:50:25.320 --> 00:50:29.480 to be investigated once again. And this was how Armann 832 00:50:29.519 --> 00:50:31.800 Badakian phrased it at One Soccer. We'll get you to 833 00:50:31.840 --> 00:50:34.280 Rick Westhead here in a second. Once again, you don't 834 00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:36.400 want Rick west Head on a byline attached to you, 835 00:50:39.360 --> 00:50:42.920 And once again you had Badakian at One Soccer basically 836 00:50:43.159 --> 00:50:48.480 quote the press release with an introductory paragraph steps down 837 00:50:48.480 --> 00:50:50.679 from his position in the midst of an ongoing investigation 838 00:50:50.760 --> 00:50:55.239 regarding his potential role in the drone gate spying controversy, 839 00:50:55.239 --> 00:50:57.320 that I already saw his once assistant, Deft Priestsman fired 840 00:50:57.320 --> 00:50:59.239 from her role as head coach of the Canadian women's 841 00:50:59.320 --> 00:51:03.519 national team. So that was what Badakian said about it, 842 00:51:03.639 --> 00:51:08.320 leading into the quotes from the press release. So then 843 00:51:08.360 --> 00:51:12.960 you go to Rick Westhead and once again requested TSN 844 00:51:13.039 --> 00:51:15.480 somebody that you don't want to have attached to you. 845 00:51:18.480 --> 00:51:22.119 And so Westhead rolls through the release and here's what 846 00:51:22.239 --> 00:51:25.719 west Head added at the bottom. Herdman's been caught up 847 00:51:25.719 --> 00:51:28.760 in recent months in a dronespying controversy that has ensnared 848 00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:32.639 Canada soccer. Herdman did not participate in a third party 849 00:51:32.679 --> 00:51:35.159 review of allegations this summer about the inappropriate use of 850 00:51:35.199 --> 00:51:38.760 drones by national team staff because of quote scheduling issues. 851 00:51:39.800 --> 00:51:45.480 An investigator said, So this was literally and there is 852 00:51:45.559 --> 00:51:48.639 a reason that I have held on to a particular 853 00:51:48.719 --> 00:51:59.320 segment in a particular interview involving John Herdman. I want 854 00:51:59.320 --> 00:52:03.719 to take you back once again, take you back to 855 00:52:04.519 --> 00:52:08.199 July twenty six, Bark Killer joining us in a couple 856 00:52:08.239 --> 00:52:11.039 of minutes July twenty six, here's what John Herdman said 857 00:52:11.239 --> 00:52:13.280 as head coach of Toronto FC at the time. 858 00:52:13.480 --> 00:52:16.400 John, I have to ask you a question another topic. 859 00:52:16.480 --> 00:52:19.719 As you know, Canada soccer is in the spotlight for 860 00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:22.800 actions alleged actions at the Olympics. I know you're no 861 00:52:22.880 --> 00:52:27.199 longer involved with Canada soccer, but Kevin Blue today cited 862 00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:31.559 a systematic ethical shortcoming and I wonder if you could 863 00:52:31.599 --> 00:52:35.119 tell us how prevalent do you think spying is in 864 00:52:35.280 --> 00:52:38.760 world football? And during your time as Canada coach, were 865 00:52:38.760 --> 00:52:40.760 you a victim of it? What did you take part? 866 00:52:40.800 --> 00:52:40.960 To me? 867 00:52:42.320 --> 00:52:45.320 Yeah, I mean I arrived back lit it last night 868 00:52:45.360 --> 00:52:49.079 from the Olympics. I had the chance to watch my 869 00:52:49.159 --> 00:52:53.760 boy play and obviously celebrate that moment with him, and 870 00:52:53.800 --> 00:52:57.440 it reminds you again how hard players work to get 871 00:52:57.480 --> 00:53:00.559 to that moment, the sacrifices they made with them and 872 00:53:00.599 --> 00:53:04.920 their families. It's certainly a big moment. So landing to 873 00:53:05.000 --> 00:53:11.480 that news was a surprise and shock, and I think 874 00:53:11.519 --> 00:53:15.400 firstly I'm devastated for the players. I think we have to, 875 00:53:16.239 --> 00:53:20.039 you know, moments like this, you know, respect that they've 876 00:53:20.039 --> 00:53:22.000 put some work in to be there. I've been a 877 00:53:22.039 --> 00:53:25.880 head coach of a team that's competed for medals, won medals, 878 00:53:26.480 --> 00:53:30.880 and you know, those players need the spotlight on their 879 00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:33.519 talents at this moment in time. This isn't a time 880 00:53:33.599 --> 00:53:39.119 to sort of nitpick about scouting at tournaments. I think, 881 00:53:39.480 --> 00:53:42.519 you know, whatever's happened, I think Canada SOCC are going 882 00:53:42.559 --> 00:53:45.199 to be conducting their internal reviews, which is the right 883 00:53:45.239 --> 00:53:47.920 thing to do, and I'll be happy to help them 884 00:53:47.960 --> 00:53:50.719 with that process for sure, to tell them about the 885 00:53:50.800 --> 00:53:57.159 experiences we had in our competitions, et cetera. But for me, 886 00:53:57.440 --> 00:54:02.119 you know, this is about the is. You know, we're 887 00:54:02.119 --> 00:54:06.159 really putting spotlight on something that isn't you know what 888 00:54:06.199 --> 00:54:09.519 this Olympics is about, which is their talent and and 889 00:54:09.559 --> 00:54:12.159 their moment to shine. And I think the quicker we 890 00:54:12.239 --> 00:54:13.280 get back there, the better. 891 00:54:14.719 --> 00:54:16.760 I think that's why it isn't it though it is 892 00:54:16.840 --> 00:54:19.480 taking place to get a little bit. I'm just wondering 893 00:54:19.519 --> 00:54:21.920 if you can give us your thoughts on how prevalent 894 00:54:21.960 --> 00:54:24.000 do you think this kind of thing isball. 895 00:54:24.559 --> 00:54:27.280 Yeah, I think, you know, I'll go through that process 896 00:54:27.320 --> 00:54:30.599 with Canada Soccer. I think anything I say now, you know, 897 00:54:30.679 --> 00:54:35.800 it's just going to bring more spotlight to this this situation. 898 00:54:35.960 --> 00:54:37.840 As I say, I'd like the spotlight to be back 899 00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:40.639 on our players as quickly as we can. You know, 900 00:54:40.760 --> 00:54:42.880 for me, you know, the integrity of their view is 901 00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:46.159 important and if I ask the contribute at all, I'll 902 00:54:46.199 --> 00:54:50.199 be there. I think everyone will be aware of situations 903 00:54:50.239 --> 00:54:54.519 from you know, previous coaches, et cetera that have been 904 00:54:54.559 --> 00:54:57.039 public I think there's there's things in the public domain 905 00:54:57.119 --> 00:55:01.320 now you know these things have happened before. But for me, 906 00:55:02.400 --> 00:55:05.039 you know, I'm hoping to help Canada Software in any 907 00:55:05.039 --> 00:55:08.760 way I can. But I would say, I just want 908 00:55:08.760 --> 00:55:12.159 this to be about the players, Like, yeah, I felt, 909 00:55:12.199 --> 00:55:14.800 I really feel for them. They have a game tomorrow 910 00:55:15.480 --> 00:55:19.199 and knowing what it's like in those environments, there's enough 911 00:55:19.239 --> 00:55:21.119 pressure as it is. They just need to be able 912 00:55:21.119 --> 00:55:22.559 to focus. 913 00:55:22.280 --> 00:55:25.760 Thank you. But can you say whether I do. 914 00:55:25.719 --> 00:55:28.400 That knowledge of or involvement in any type of tone 915 00:55:28.480 --> 00:55:30.159 users line during your time. 916 00:55:30.679 --> 00:55:33.960 Yeah, I mean I come back to the question, which 917 00:55:34.000 --> 00:55:36.719 is you know this is an Olympic Games it's the 918 00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:41.119 biggest event on the planet. You know, it's a sporting 919 00:55:41.159 --> 00:55:45.519 event that has massive integrity and for me, you know, 920 00:55:45.559 --> 00:55:48.159 we have to make sure that those things are upheld. Always. 921 00:55:48.280 --> 00:55:52.320 I've always gone into Olympic Games, World Cups, big events 922 00:55:52.360 --> 00:55:55.039 with integrity in mind and the ability to compete at 923 00:55:55.039 --> 00:55:58.400 the highest level, following the rules and processes. So, you know, 924 00:55:58.519 --> 00:56:01.000 for my side, as a say, I'll help kind of 925 00:56:01.039 --> 00:56:07.280 Towerrakhan without review, but I'm highly confident in my time 926 00:56:07.440 --> 00:56:10.320 as a head coach, not in an Olympic Games or 927 00:56:10.800 --> 00:56:14.440 we'll cope. We've never been involved in any of those activities. 928 00:56:17.159 --> 00:56:21.079 Highly confident in my time. Notice he didn't mention Conker 929 00:56:21.119 --> 00:56:28.519 Cat once again, that was four months ago. Multiple times 930 00:56:28.559 --> 00:56:34.440 the review knocked on his door, Penny Sheldon, you know, 931 00:56:35.360 --> 00:56:39.960 one of those just you know, we'd like for you, 932 00:56:40.000 --> 00:56:40.880 we'd like for you to. 933 00:56:40.840 --> 00:56:44.400 Help out, Penny Sheldon. 934 00:56:44.840 --> 00:56:49.880 And apparently John Herdman multiple times to ask, decided not 935 00:56:49.920 --> 00:56:55.519 to be a part of the review, bringing Bart Keeler Hi, Bart, 936 00:56:55.880 --> 00:57:03.119 good morning. Yes, so John Herdman out in a news dump, 937 00:57:04.000 --> 00:57:07.519 in a fantastic news dump by Toronto FC back on Friday, 938 00:57:08.119 --> 00:57:11.800 and before you came on, I was discussing the alleged 939 00:57:11.920 --> 00:57:17.519 systematic ethical shortcoming attached to Canada soccer and to Bev Priestman, 940 00:57:17.599 --> 00:57:22.039 who is I guess, in the soccer equivalent of time 941 00:57:22.079 --> 00:57:26.320 out and show cause. She is Kelvin Sampson, now I 942 00:57:26.320 --> 00:57:31.280 guess until further noted, and John Herdman in the news dump, 943 00:57:31.320 --> 00:57:33.519 at least in the American news dump sense, and then 944 00:57:33.559 --> 00:57:36.320 on a late Friday afternoon which was a traditional news dump. 945 00:57:36.320 --> 00:57:40.239 Since John Herdman out at Toronto FC. Personally, I think 946 00:57:40.280 --> 00:57:43.519 it's best that's what he says. I'm thinking that Toronto 947 00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:47.519 FC basically knows more than they think that the public knows. 948 00:57:48.000 --> 00:57:53.760 They know that Eli's coming, Hydra hart Girl and the 949 00:57:53.800 --> 00:57:55.719 hammer might be dropping, and they don't need to have 950 00:57:55.760 --> 00:57:58.840 anything attached to John Herdman with him being under their employer. 951 00:57:59.199 --> 00:57:59.960 That's my gut. 952 00:58:00.920 --> 00:58:05.840 Yeah, I think this was a conversation between Toronto and Hardman, who. 953 00:58:06.760 --> 00:58:07.960 Is obviously. 954 00:58:09.239 --> 00:58:11.880 The focus, I mean, if not the sole focus of 955 00:58:11.920 --> 00:58:14.559 the investigation, the main focus of the investigation at this point, 956 00:58:15.280 --> 00:58:18.880 and there's an agreement between the two parties to just 957 00:58:18.960 --> 00:58:23.079 say let's cut ties before. Especially for Toronto this is 958 00:58:23.079 --> 00:58:25.320 a cya because they don't want to be stuck with 959 00:58:25.360 --> 00:58:28.880 any real surprises. They don't want to go any further 960 00:58:28.960 --> 00:58:33.000 into the offseason not having an idea if they're going 961 00:58:33.079 --> 00:58:33.320 to have. 962 00:58:33.239 --> 00:58:35.800 A coach, So they'd rather just say, Hey, we're. 963 00:58:35.599 --> 00:58:40.639 Gonna to leave and we'll go find someone else. 964 00:58:41.960 --> 00:58:45.360 And my gut thinks it might be Jim Curtin who 965 00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:49.599 wants to be the g SLASH technical director SLASH and 966 00:58:49.639 --> 00:58:53.800 a coach and have both titles in a place that 967 00:58:53.840 --> 00:58:57.679 would be the anti Philadelphia where Yeah. 968 00:58:57.440 --> 00:58:58.440 I mean I think. 969 00:59:00.559 --> 00:59:02.719 John I'm still not a fan of a coach being 970 00:59:02.760 --> 00:59:04.119 both GM oh. 971 00:59:04.199 --> 00:59:06.920 Neither am I No, neither am I? I mean I do. 972 00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:11.679 Think well, yes, I do think Curtain would like more 973 00:59:11.679 --> 00:59:15.159 control over roster decisions, because that was obviously the reason 974 00:59:16.000 --> 00:59:18.639 why it didn't go as well as it maybe could 975 00:59:18.639 --> 00:59:21.199 have in Philadelphia, and especially this year, was the reason 976 00:59:21.239 --> 00:59:24.840 why they fell so short. But I think Toronto would 977 00:59:24.840 --> 00:59:28.000 be a better landing place for Curtin than you know, 978 00:59:28.079 --> 00:59:33.760 some other yep that may exist, particularly very locally. Yes, 979 00:59:35.679 --> 00:59:41.239 but with the difference being that MLS will spend money 980 00:59:43.159 --> 00:59:46.440 and that is something that I know Curtin would like 981 00:59:46.480 --> 00:59:48.639 to have. I mean, I don't think Curtin is expecting 982 00:59:48.679 --> 00:59:51.039 them to spend eighty million dollars a year for him 983 00:59:53.280 --> 00:59:55.599 or however much they spent whatever it was when they 984 00:59:55.599 --> 00:59:58.320 bought this, you know, half the Italian national team. Yes, 985 00:59:59.800 --> 01:00:02.280 that that is still indicative of a club that is 986 01:00:02.280 --> 01:00:05.119 willing to spend some money to bring in actually good 987 01:00:05.159 --> 01:00:08.039 players up and down the roster. And that's something that 988 01:00:08.960 --> 01:00:10.719 Curtain hasn't had. And also, you know, I think if 989 01:00:10.719 --> 01:00:14.960 you're Jim Carton, you look at Toronto as a potential 990 01:00:15.039 --> 01:00:19.480 academy location where you can continue to mold the younger generation. 991 01:00:20.880 --> 01:00:25.440 So I don't I don't think Toronto's academy has been particularly. 992 01:00:27.280 --> 01:00:30.039 I don't robust product PRODUCTIVI. 993 01:00:29.559 --> 01:00:34.440 Yeah, yeah, that might be an opportunity for him as well, 994 01:00:35.599 --> 01:00:37.039 just to kind of take some of the things that 995 01:00:37.039 --> 01:00:39.960 he's learned from the Philadelphia side and put that into Toronto. 996 01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:42.480 I mean, Toronto is the what the largest city in 997 01:00:42.519 --> 01:00:46.159 Canada and one of the top five in North America. 998 01:00:46.199 --> 01:00:52.480 If it's a large city, and that would in theory 999 01:00:52.639 --> 01:00:55.119 mean that you have a great deal of talent to 1000 01:00:55.159 --> 01:00:57.559 pull from on top of a great fan base that 1001 01:00:57.599 --> 01:01:00.000 could you know, support you. 1002 01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:03.880 Yep uh and rich once again making the point curtain 1003 01:01:03.920 --> 01:01:05.760 to toront would hurt more than him going to Atlanta 1004 01:01:05.800 --> 01:01:10.079 because it's unlimited budget one hundred Philadelphia. Absolutely true. Yeah, 1005 01:01:11.119 --> 01:01:14.239 but within the salary cap purview, yes. 1006 01:01:14.719 --> 01:01:18.280 Yes, but you're gonna get three actual dps M. 1007 01:01:18.639 --> 01:01:20.719 Yeah you are, and you can you can, you can 1008 01:01:20.800 --> 01:01:23.440 drop plenty of you can drop plenty of dime on 1009 01:01:23.559 --> 01:01:26.920 in Tim Horton's gift cards and Canadian tire bucks on 1010 01:01:27.000 --> 01:01:30.480 bringing all of them in. Uh. You had you had 1011 01:01:30.119 --> 01:01:34.920 you had requested time, Yes, salary cap Uh since this 1012 01:01:35.159 --> 01:01:38.679 was a rivalry weekend in American football. Mm hmm. Uh, 1013 01:01:38.760 --> 01:01:41.760 you had requested time at the beginning of your of 1014 01:01:41.800 --> 01:01:45.679 your appearance here this week to discuss the situation I 1015 01:01:45.719 --> 01:01:50.119 believe it West by God Virginia, and uh I will, 1016 01:01:50.159 --> 01:01:53.519 I will yield the floor. Uh see, we need to 1017 01:01:53.519 --> 01:01:56.360 get you over on the college football side of things. 1018 01:01:56.159 --> 01:01:59.519 Over my podcasting start, John. 1019 01:01:59.760 --> 01:02:01.960 We we need to get you over on the college 1020 01:02:02.000 --> 01:02:06.719 football side to discuss West by God Virginia. I yield 1021 01:02:06.760 --> 01:02:10.199 the floor for your opening statement on a Reaction Monday 1022 01:02:10.679 --> 01:02:15.400 to discuss American college football and the situation at West 1023 01:02:15.440 --> 01:02:16.760 by God Virginia. Proceed. 1024 01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:19.360 So I just want to first off, say that. 1025 01:02:20.760 --> 01:02:23.719 I've felt this season this year with a lot of 1026 01:02:23.840 --> 01:02:27.320 people saying, well, this person is a really good person. 1027 01:02:27.639 --> 01:02:30.280 This coach is just a really great guy and he's 1028 01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:33.320 respected and loved, but the results in the field don't 1029 01:02:33.360 --> 01:02:37.760 match that. And that has been the frustrating part with 1030 01:02:38.079 --> 01:02:41.360 my fandom for two of my favorite teams this year, 1031 01:02:41.880 --> 01:02:48.440 and when it came to West Virginia specifically, it it 1032 01:02:48.519 --> 01:02:52.360 was six years of not believing the team was going 1033 01:02:52.400 --> 01:02:56.280 to actually do something cool or great or exciting. We 1034 01:02:56.320 --> 01:02:57.960 had a decent season last year and I think that 1035 01:02:58.119 --> 01:02:59.920 was really what did it. And for Neil Brown is 1036 01:03:00.039 --> 01:03:02.920 you had a really good close the season in twenty 1037 01:03:02.920 --> 01:03:05.159 twenty three, you get the win over North Carolina up 1038 01:03:05.239 --> 01:03:07.960 in Charlotte and the bowl game, you finished with nine wins, 1039 01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:09.800 and you go, what can you use how. 1040 01:03:09.679 --> 01:03:12.519 Can you use this to. 1041 01:03:11.599 --> 01:03:16.079 Continue to climb to take that message they've been pushing 1042 01:03:16.079 --> 01:03:19.000 for the past six years. And when you finished six 1043 01:03:19.079 --> 01:03:23.079 and six a conference that was severely depleted by the 1044 01:03:23.239 --> 01:03:24.360 two biggest. 1045 01:03:23.920 --> 01:03:27.719 Teams leaving and bringing in some teams. 1046 01:03:27.320 --> 01:03:30.480 That are not at that level, by the way, that 1047 01:03:30.599 --> 01:03:33.159 you didn't have to play for the most part, we 1048 01:03:33.199 --> 01:03:34.119 didn't play Colorado. 1049 01:03:34.679 --> 01:03:35.599 We didn't play. 1050 01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:41.079 Utah, you know, we we didn't have to play any 1051 01:03:41.079 --> 01:03:43.440 of the big boys this year. That came in, and 1052 01:03:44.239 --> 01:03:46.000 the fact that you weren't able to get to even 1053 01:03:46.039 --> 01:03:48.800 seven wins during the regular season, the fact that you 1054 01:03:48.880 --> 01:03:53.840 lost both of your games to the local rivals, and 1055 01:03:54.039 --> 01:03:56.519 one of those very badly at home to open the season. 1056 01:03:56.559 --> 01:03:59.800 After again, all this Pike was built, and the way 1057 01:03:59.800 --> 01:04:01.920 that you know, the team continued to lose in the 1058 01:04:01.960 --> 01:04:06.760 similar ways, with bad mistakes on individual parts, bad schemes 1059 01:04:07.400 --> 01:04:12.400 both offensively and defensively. Being nice, being a good guy 1060 01:04:12.760 --> 01:04:14.599 is great, but at the end of the day, it's 1061 01:04:14.639 --> 01:04:18.559 a results based business and when you're not getting results, 1062 01:04:19.480 --> 01:04:21.559 you know, there's no reason to keep you around. And 1063 01:04:21.760 --> 01:04:25.159 that's just kind of where and I'm sorry to bring 1064 01:04:25.199 --> 01:04:26.800 it up, but that's just where I've always been. With 1065 01:04:26.920 --> 01:04:29.000 the Gonzale Paneda thing is, I know, he's a really 1066 01:04:29.000 --> 01:04:31.880 great dude and he I'm sure people love playing for him. 1067 01:04:33.639 --> 01:04:36.480 You got to win, and at the end of the day, 1068 01:04:36.519 --> 01:04:39.239 if it doesn't matter if your players, your guys love 1069 01:04:39.280 --> 01:04:42.960 playing for you, but if you're not winning, what does 1070 01:04:43.000 --> 01:04:43.400 it matter? 1071 01:04:44.639 --> 01:04:46.880 You know? I think probably could be said of Greg 1072 01:04:46.920 --> 01:04:48.119 Berholter as well, where. 1073 01:04:47.920 --> 01:04:50.480 A lot of the guys playing for Greg but can't 1074 01:04:50.760 --> 01:04:56.960 have results that don't match those expectations. And now you've 1075 01:04:56.960 --> 01:05:00.320 got to find someone who for WU. Anyway, you have 1076 01:05:00.360 --> 01:05:03.599 to find someone who can hopefully continue a decent culture 1077 01:05:03.639 --> 01:05:06.239 that's been built, but get results on the field and 1078 01:05:06.599 --> 01:05:08.800 figure out how to win in a place that you're 1079 01:05:08.800 --> 01:05:10.599 not going to get the best recruiting classes. But you've 1080 01:05:10.599 --> 01:05:13.920 got to maximize the talent and we'll see how that goes. 1081 01:05:14.119 --> 01:05:16.599 You've got to go into Pennsylvania and get kids there. 1082 01:05:16.719 --> 01:05:19.079 Yeah, I mean, that's the thing for West Virginia is 1083 01:05:19.360 --> 01:05:22.280 you've got Pittsburgh and Philly that are close by. 1084 01:05:22.440 --> 01:05:25.360 You've got the Ohio area, which is always talent. You 1085 01:05:25.440 --> 01:05:27.960 got the DMV there. 1086 01:05:28.000 --> 01:05:30.760 You know, You've got plenty of areas to just go 1087 01:05:30.800 --> 01:05:35.199 get talent outside of your state, and you got to 1088 01:05:35.239 --> 01:05:37.159 maximize it. I mean, West Virginia for a while there 1089 01:05:37.239 --> 01:05:42.400 is i mean piping amend from South Florida too, and 1090 01:05:42.440 --> 01:05:47.039 we've lost that connection. But yeah, it was disappointing, It 1091 01:05:47.079 --> 01:05:50.639 was unsurprising. It was a relief when it finally happened. 1092 01:05:51.079 --> 01:05:55.159 Three ranked teams losses this year started this season at 1093 01:05:55.159 --> 01:05:57.639 home against Penn State. You also lost to eleventh ranked 1094 01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:01.079 Iowa State and seventeenth thrank Kansas, three of those at home. 1095 01:06:02.280 --> 01:06:05.880 Then you lose backyard brawl thirty eight thirty four, and 1096 01:06:05.920 --> 01:06:08.880 then you lose two of your last three to Baylor 1097 01:06:09.039 --> 01:06:14.039 at home, yeah, by fourteen. And then in Lubbock where 1098 01:06:14.079 --> 01:06:15.280 Texas Tech put fifty two. 1099 01:06:15.280 --> 01:06:16.840 Oh yeah, wiped in Lubbock. 1100 01:06:16.880 --> 01:06:18.920 I mean, those tortillas came and slapped across the face. 1101 01:06:18.920 --> 01:06:26.719 You couldn't get up. And again, you have to get results. 1102 01:06:27.199 --> 01:06:29.480 And I think most West Virginia fans would agree with me. 1103 01:06:29.519 --> 01:06:32.679 We're not expecting you to win ten eleven games every. 1104 01:06:32.599 --> 01:06:36.039 Year, but this particular season of the Big twelve, John 1105 01:06:37.599 --> 01:06:38.239 was wide open. 1106 01:06:38.400 --> 01:06:41.000 As you clearly see, you've got Arizona State, who's the 1107 01:06:41.079 --> 01:06:44.599 first timer in the conference in the conference has never 1108 01:06:44.679 --> 01:06:47.360 made a conference championship. We've been in this damn league 1109 01:06:47.400 --> 01:06:50.639 for oh goodness. 1110 01:06:51.760 --> 01:06:53.440 As the person who was there for the very first 1111 01:06:53.440 --> 01:06:54.280 Big twelve. 1112 01:06:54.000 --> 01:07:01.480 Game seventy to sixty three against Baylor, that is the problem, right, 1113 01:07:01.599 --> 01:07:06.840 and Dana I think it's I think Dana's tenure kind 1114 01:07:06.840 --> 01:07:08.519 of showed where we could be in the old Big 1115 01:07:08.559 --> 01:07:13.039 twelve which is maybe hopefully getting a shot. We were 1116 01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:17.360 expecting Neil, especially in the new Big twelve, to find 1117 01:07:17.400 --> 01:07:19.639 a way to get us to the actual championship game. 1118 01:07:19.679 --> 01:07:21.400 And I think that's just where we are at is 1119 01:07:21.440 --> 01:07:25.199 we need to be the expectation or the goal of 1120 01:07:25.239 --> 01:07:28.000 making a conference championship game needs to be realistic every year, 1121 01:07:28.159 --> 01:07:30.119 not just you. 1122 01:07:30.079 --> 01:07:34.440 Know, yes, a state statement game. All right, So, uh, 1123 01:07:35.480 --> 01:07:38.920 now's go back to now that the American football discussion 1124 01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:42.599 has has gone away, at least temporarily until I sit 1125 01:07:42.599 --> 01:07:44.480 there and vent my spleen about my program with a 1126 01:07:44.519 --> 01:07:45.840 six three million dollar buyout. 1127 01:07:46.480 --> 01:07:46.679 Uh. 1128 01:07:46.760 --> 01:07:48.599 One of the reasons that we brought you in other 1129 01:07:48.679 --> 01:07:52.239 than American football was to discuss bomb hops on parade 1130 01:07:52.760 --> 01:07:57.239 in in one day. And it felt at this time 1131 01:07:57.280 --> 01:07:57.840 that was called. 1132 01:07:57.920 --> 01:07:58.639 It looked no. 1133 01:08:00.199 --> 01:08:06.599 Had ninety eight bazillion people Yeah, watching Veigman v. Hayes. Yeah, 1134 01:08:06.920 --> 01:08:09.679 and it ended up a goalless draw. 1135 01:08:10.119 --> 01:08:12.400 Yeah. I think if that. 1136 01:08:12.480 --> 01:08:14.840 Was if you were to evaluate this game as an entirety, 1137 01:08:14.880 --> 01:08:18.800 that was probably the only negative is no goals. And 1138 01:08:19.119 --> 01:08:20.920 at some point it looked like maybe the only goal 1139 01:08:21.000 --> 01:08:23.039 was going to come from a penalty kick, which was 1140 01:08:23.239 --> 01:08:25.720 very erroneously called. I understand why it was called on 1141 01:08:25.720 --> 01:08:28.680 the field, I truly do. I'm glad that var was 1142 01:08:28.720 --> 01:08:31.840 implemented to not have that as a penalty kick because 1143 01:08:31.840 --> 01:08:33.359 that was that was not a penalty kick. 1144 01:08:33.720 --> 01:08:38.279 Yes, that's not a handball, you know, John. 1145 01:08:38.359 --> 01:08:40.479 This is one of those where I saw someone tweet 1146 01:08:40.479 --> 01:08:41.920 that they would or skeet. 1147 01:08:42.000 --> 01:08:43.960 I forget which apple was on, but. 1148 01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:47.520 They they were like, you know, we should make this 1149 01:08:47.680 --> 01:08:51.159 kind of a Thanksgiving tradition. Ooh, I like that, and 1150 01:08:51.960 --> 01:08:54.079 back and forth, depending on you know where it is. 1151 01:08:54.479 --> 01:08:59.079 I honestly wouldn't mind a November window always being in Europe. 1152 01:08:59.119 --> 01:09:00.760 I think the US men used to do this a lot, 1153 01:09:00.840 --> 01:09:04.119 especially under Kleansman. I think they should get back to that. 1154 01:09:06.000 --> 01:09:08.239 And it gives you something to just look forward to 1155 01:09:08.399 --> 01:09:13.079 for the Thanksgiving slate. Gives you a little different taste 1156 01:09:13.119 --> 01:09:15.680 on your palette other than the football you've been the 1157 01:09:15.720 --> 01:09:16.800 American football you've been in. 1158 01:09:17.279 --> 01:09:20.199 Seriously, if you started your day, you started your day 1159 01:09:20.760 --> 01:09:25.960 in in in Angland, yep, with like a nine a m. 1160 01:09:26.079 --> 01:09:30.159 Eastern time US kick, it's two o'clock in the afternoon, yep. 1161 01:09:30.399 --> 01:09:33.520 You're done by eleven. You get your pregame show done, 1162 01:09:33.600 --> 01:09:35.720 then you can focus on American football for the rest 1163 01:09:35.800 --> 01:09:39.560 of the day. We have programmed a solution for. 1164 01:09:39.800 --> 01:09:42.680 And for you know, a network like T and T 1165 01:09:42.760 --> 01:09:46.039 and TBS, it doesn't really have college football, which is changing, 1166 01:09:46.039 --> 01:09:48.680 I believe, but they are getting college football for the playoff. 1167 01:09:48.760 --> 01:09:49.600 Is that this happens. 1168 01:09:49.720 --> 01:09:50.920 Yeah, they're they're a part of it. 1169 01:09:51.000 --> 01:09:53.760 Yes, you know that. 1170 01:09:54.520 --> 01:09:56.640 I think it's a great programming thing. And I think 1171 01:09:56.680 --> 01:09:59.359 when you look at not just this being one versus 1172 01:09:59.399 --> 01:10:01.920 two this year, because that's what it was, but just 1173 01:10:01.960 --> 01:10:06.840 two programs that seem to value the women's teams very highly. 1174 01:10:07.840 --> 01:10:10.880 That's the type of production you want to give to 1175 01:10:10.920 --> 01:10:13.720 the rest of the world to force them to up 1176 01:10:13.760 --> 01:10:16.439 their game when it comes to supporting with the women's side. 1177 01:10:16.840 --> 01:10:20.560 And you know you're getting another one tomorrow with Netherlands. 1178 01:10:20.560 --> 01:10:22.840 And I think that that on itself, John is really 1179 01:10:22.880 --> 01:10:25.880 the big takeaway from this game, because when you're looking 1180 01:10:25.880 --> 01:10:29.359 at the US play this game specifically, you don't have 1181 01:10:29.399 --> 01:10:32.960 Triple Espresso, you don't have Katerina Macario. So those are 1182 01:10:33.000 --> 01:10:36.159 four of your those are your four best attacking players. 1183 01:10:36.199 --> 01:10:39.199 You know that, and if you're not having Sophia Smith 1184 01:10:39.199 --> 01:10:40.840 start in the center it's going to be cat start 1185 01:10:40.880 --> 01:10:42.800 in the center. And then after that you didn't even 1186 01:10:42.840 --> 01:10:44.880 have like, you know, a the official who's still coming 1187 01:10:44.880 --> 01:10:47.199 back from injury. You didn't really have a true striker, 1188 01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:52.000 which needs to be something MH figures out long term. 1189 01:10:52.039 --> 01:10:54.119 You know, I'm a little surprised that Ashley Hatch hasn't 1190 01:10:54.159 --> 01:10:56.399 come back into the fold a little bit. Sho had 1191 01:10:56.399 --> 01:11:01.520 a decent season for Washington. But when you don't have that, okay, 1192 01:11:01.520 --> 01:11:03.720 well you don't score any goals, you still created some 1193 01:11:03.760 --> 01:11:04.560 decent chances. 1194 01:11:04.960 --> 01:11:05.680 You still had. 1195 01:11:05.520 --> 01:11:07.159 Opportunities to put the ball in the back of the net. 1196 01:11:07.880 --> 01:11:11.279 You know, Mary Rps proved that she's pretty darn good. John, 1197 01:11:12.239 --> 01:11:14.039 I've heard this, so did a listen there, you know, 1198 01:11:14.239 --> 01:11:16.479 And I think defensively you didn't really give up any 1199 01:11:16.800 --> 01:11:19.479 true chances to England. 1200 01:11:19.760 --> 01:11:25.720 That were super scary. I thought Germa did a great job. 1201 01:11:25.960 --> 01:11:28.039 I thought Krueger had a pretty decent game. 1202 01:11:29.359 --> 01:11:32.119 And I think that is the takeaway is, well, you 1203 01:11:32.159 --> 01:11:34.479 didn't give up any real chances to a very good 1204 01:11:34.600 --> 01:11:38.680 England team, and although you didn't score any goals without 1205 01:11:38.680 --> 01:11:42.279 your top talent, you still created a decent amount of chances. 1206 01:11:42.640 --> 01:11:45.600 Ten to four in the shots three to one on target, 1207 01:11:46.079 --> 01:11:49.119 fifty four percent possession. But once again, possession for me 1208 01:11:49.199 --> 01:11:51.359 is like time of possession in American college football is 1209 01:11:51.359 --> 01:11:51.760 what you do. 1210 01:11:51.800 --> 01:11:55.239 Says it earned from Friday and John means thet least squat. 1211 01:11:55.960 --> 01:12:00.720 Yes, once again Americans in our review. Once again no 1212 01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:03.319 attack in the midfield look disjointed, nothing hit the target. 1213 01:12:03.359 --> 01:12:08.119 Second half. Now let's go through the numbers. A listener 1214 01:12:08.239 --> 01:12:12.640 gets a five. It's like a listener gets a five, 1215 01:12:12.840 --> 01:12:17.079 and we do this. Theodore Lloyd Hughes TLH was the 1216 01:12:17.079 --> 01:12:19.039 one in response for the numbers, this time for my 1217 01:12:19.079 --> 01:12:22.159 friends in soccer America. And we do this as a 1218 01:12:22.239 --> 01:12:26.239 part of either agreeing, disagreeing, or refuting the numbers that 1219 01:12:26.279 --> 01:12:29.039 are presented here, just to give everybody a baseline for 1220 01:12:29.079 --> 01:12:31.600 what went down. So a listen air gets a five. 1221 01:12:33.119 --> 01:12:36.159 Reliable as ever in all honesty, with such peerless performances 1222 01:12:36.159 --> 01:12:37.720 from the defenders in front of her, she had very 1223 01:12:37.760 --> 01:12:40.399 very little to do. Only say she had was from 1224 01:12:40.479 --> 01:12:43.800 Leah Williamson. Header cornerkick, second half ball trickled into the 1225 01:12:43.840 --> 01:12:46.560 Americans gloves with the ease. So she gets a five 1226 01:12:46.760 --> 01:12:50.159 because so TLH promotes the everleven daylights out of her. 1227 01:12:50.279 --> 01:12:50.960 She gets a five. 1228 01:12:51.760 --> 01:12:56.760 I guess, yeah, I understand what he's saying, but that's bruh. 1229 01:12:56.800 --> 01:13:01.319 Come on defenders once again, Naomi Gearmack, Casey Krueger was 1230 01:13:01.640 --> 01:13:07.279 also and Casey Krueger, I needed to pull this, I 1231 01:13:07.319 --> 01:13:13.399 needed to pull this highlight down. But Casey Kruger gives 1232 01:13:13.720 --> 01:13:19.680 just as well as she received. Yeah, at ninety plus, 1233 01:13:19.840 --> 01:13:22.119 there was a moment where it's a goalless draw and 1234 01:13:22.159 --> 01:13:24.840 you're thinking, okay, both sides are thinking, yeah, okay, it's cool, 1235 01:13:24.880 --> 01:13:27.840 we'll get out of here, goalless draw. So Casey Krueger 1236 01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:32.000 gets knocked off her feet and gets sent basically into 1237 01:13:32.079 --> 01:13:37.680 the coaches area, the coaches box, and she's down for 1238 01:13:37.720 --> 01:13:41.439 a little bit. But then when she gets back up, 1239 01:13:42.079 --> 01:13:46.239 ball is sent forward and she is more than happy 1240 01:13:46.800 --> 01:13:50.600 to dial up a receipt and it was an instant receipt. 1241 01:13:50.720 --> 01:13:55.239 She wasted no time on the payback on this one. 1242 01:13:55.560 --> 01:14:00.520 I really did like that in response from her, it 1243 01:14:00.600 --> 01:14:02.479 was kind of funny because you know she got I mean, 1244 01:14:02.479 --> 01:14:05.880 she did get a foul call for that instance on 1245 01:14:05.920 --> 01:14:09.479 the sideline wow, as it should have been a foul, 1246 01:14:09.640 --> 01:14:11.760 and she made sure that that wasn't just the only 1247 01:14:11.800 --> 01:14:15.000 payback that England got for that, and that again, that's 1248 01:14:15.000 --> 01:14:17.239 what this type of game, I mean, this game is. 1249 01:14:18.880 --> 01:14:22.840 Not friendly. Both of these teams want to win. 1250 01:14:22.880 --> 01:14:24.640 I mean again, England's number two in the world, they 1251 01:14:24.720 --> 01:14:26.319 want to be number one. 1252 01:14:27.840 --> 01:14:28.680 And if you're. 1253 01:14:28.560 --> 01:14:30.760 Talking England is looking at this as the first real 1254 01:14:30.800 --> 01:14:33.760 step toward preparing for Euros twenty twenty five. 1255 01:14:35.199 --> 01:14:36.600 Well, you're not going to get a better team than. 1256 01:14:36.560 --> 01:14:39.760 The US at euro So this is the best possible 1257 01:14:39.800 --> 01:14:42.560 way to look at this as to prepare for that tournament. 1258 01:14:42.680 --> 01:14:45.079 There was two hundred and forty eight years of history 1259 01:14:45.119 --> 01:14:51.199 attached to those Also that also that I mean literally, 1260 01:14:51.560 --> 01:14:54.520 but I like that. I like that laid in a man. 1261 01:14:54.560 --> 01:14:59.119 Absolutely that A you're still dialed in, but B you're 1262 01:14:59.159 --> 01:15:02.560 not going to take any is from someone that wants 1263 01:15:02.600 --> 01:15:04.840 to try to to You know, you can you can 1264 01:15:05.640 --> 01:15:07.720 give whatever degree of a hit you want. You can 1265 01:15:07.720 --> 01:15:09.600 say it was cheap, you can say it was late, 1266 01:15:09.680 --> 01:15:11.800 you can say it you know it wasn't it wasn't 1267 01:15:11.840 --> 01:15:15.000 square or anything like that. But yeah, someone plows you over. 1268 01:15:15.720 --> 01:15:18.960 Casey Kruger is like, Okay, I'll remember that. Oh you know, 1269 01:15:19.079 --> 01:15:21.319 it's not like the Red Wings in the Avalanche where 1270 01:15:21.319 --> 01:15:23.800 they wait three hundred and seventy one ways Jaron McCarty 1271 01:15:23.840 --> 01:15:27.960 to chase after clothing you. It literally was within thirty seconds. 1272 01:15:28.159 --> 01:15:32.399 Casey Krueger adheres to the code and gives the payback. 1273 01:15:34.479 --> 01:15:35.920 I was saying, as she should. 1274 01:15:36.039 --> 01:15:38.880 That's that's some also like some mom energy of like, ah, 1275 01:15:38.880 --> 01:15:42.159 you're not getting this over on me, which I appreciate. 1276 01:15:43.079 --> 01:15:46.560 Emily Fox, Emily Sonnett got sixes, No McGear Mccasey Krueger 1277 01:15:46.600 --> 01:15:48.279 got seven's on the day. 1278 01:15:48.840 --> 01:15:52.319 Yeah makes sense. Germa had a really good day. I 1279 01:15:52.359 --> 01:15:56.039 think she again proved how how great she is at 1280 01:15:56.039 --> 01:15:56.800 this sport. 1281 01:15:57.119 --> 01:16:00.399 Yes, and is always top of the l or when 1282 01:16:00.439 --> 01:16:03.479 it comes to the soccer for us PO DS MVPs, 1283 01:16:04.119 --> 01:16:08.000 so you always it's Gnomi Girma and then it's like, yeah, 1284 01:16:08.000 --> 01:16:12.359 we'll talk about everybody else. Yeah, all right, So forwards 1285 01:16:12.920 --> 01:16:15.920 midfield Roosevelt gets a five, Sam Coffee gets a six, 1286 01:16:16.000 --> 01:16:20.039 Lindsay Horan got a four. T LH says a somewhat 1287 01:16:20.079 --> 01:16:23.680 anonymous performance for captain Lindsay Horan, who continues to struggle 1288 01:16:23.720 --> 01:16:27.159 to find the passing tempo needed, timing of late runs 1289 01:16:27.279 --> 01:16:30.279 or the box threat took more shots three than any 1290 01:16:30.319 --> 01:16:32.239 other player, but they were all rather poor. 1291 01:16:33.079 --> 01:16:33.720 Yeah, that's a. 1292 01:16:33.680 --> 01:16:36.520 Fair assessment of her. I thought Coffee was really darn 1293 01:16:36.560 --> 01:16:39.840 good this game, though. I thought Rose had a really 1294 01:16:39.880 --> 01:16:45.279 good game, with a couple of good recoveries, ball recoveries, 1295 01:16:45.640 --> 01:16:48.199 especially higher up the field, which is kind of what 1296 01:16:48.279 --> 01:16:50.800 I think Hayes realizes is going to be necessary for 1297 01:16:50.840 --> 01:16:54.159 this team to truly generate a lot of chances, especially 1298 01:16:54.159 --> 01:16:56.680 without triple Espresso. But when you get those three in there, 1299 01:16:58.199 --> 01:17:00.680 getting me the ball, ball recover high up the field 1300 01:17:00.720 --> 01:17:03.159 are going to be great ways to get those players 1301 01:17:03.800 --> 01:17:06.760 into attack. So I thought Rhodes had a pretty good game. 1302 01:17:07.760 --> 01:17:09.439 I don't think Lindsay was a four, but I would 1303 01:17:09.439 --> 01:17:11.920 also have rated all the midfielders a slightly higher rating. 1304 01:17:12.159 --> 01:17:15.119 So Lavelle quiet in the first half, looked impressive. After 1305 01:17:15.159 --> 01:17:17.960 the break when Yasmine Ryan came off the bench, Ryan's 1306 01:17:18.000 --> 01:17:21.199 pension for underlapping allowed Lavell to drive forward get into 1307 01:17:21.199 --> 01:17:23.119 the box. Just one shot off target for Levell on 1308 01:17:23.119 --> 01:17:24.840 an outing where she passed better than she. 1309 01:17:24.880 --> 01:17:28.039 Attacked, and that well, I'm sure we'll get to her quickly. 1310 01:17:28.039 --> 01:17:31.199 But Yasmin Ryan is the one player you should talk 1311 01:17:31.199 --> 01:17:32.159 about after this game. 1312 01:17:33.159 --> 01:17:35.800 Forwards, Emma Seares gets a four. Lynn Williams gets a five, 1313 01:17:35.880 --> 01:17:41.399 Alissa Thompson gets a six. Let's see, so she speedster. 1314 01:17:42.039 --> 01:17:43.880 I want to take a beat on Thompson. Sorry, go 1315 01:17:44.000 --> 01:17:47.199 for This was a great game for Alyssa Thompson, not 1316 01:17:47.239 --> 01:17:49.119 because she played great, but you know who she's going 1317 01:17:49.159 --> 01:17:51.880 up against, John See Brons and I don't know if 1318 01:17:51.920 --> 01:17:55.920 you know this, She's she's an elite I have heard player, 1319 01:17:56.159 --> 01:17:58.399 I have heard, and I think for Alyssa this was 1320 01:17:58.439 --> 01:18:02.840 a great chance to see what it takes to be 1321 01:18:03.000 --> 01:18:08.079 the best. I mean Lucy Bron's's top ten player period, 1322 01:18:08.960 --> 01:18:13.520 you know, as a right back, and that battle all game. 1323 01:18:13.560 --> 01:18:16.000 I think Bronze absolutely got the better of Thompson for 1324 01:18:16.039 --> 01:18:18.479 the most part. But I think that is a great 1325 01:18:18.880 --> 01:18:23.720 learning game for a very young Alissa Thompson to again 1326 01:18:23.840 --> 01:18:26.520 understand what it takes for her, which it's going to 1327 01:18:26.560 --> 01:18:27.680 take for her to level up. 1328 01:18:28.520 --> 01:18:30.560 Could have had the opening goal after five minutes when 1329 01:18:30.600 --> 01:18:32.760 she picked up a Seares pass, took a touch, powerful 1330 01:18:32.760 --> 01:18:35.000 shot the corner. IRPs pulls off a good save to 1331 01:18:35.079 --> 01:18:38.199 keep it goalless. After the break, Thompson faded. Both her 1332 01:18:38.199 --> 01:18:40.279 and Williams removed in the seventy third as it started 1333 01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:43.760 to feel like the USA had stagnated going forward. Lynn 1334 01:18:43.760 --> 01:18:47.159 Williams had almost twice as many caps coming in seventy three. 1335 01:18:47.279 --> 01:18:49.760 Then all the other US forwards on the squad, combined 1336 01:18:50.640 --> 01:18:52.880 to her credit passage in the first half, stopped to 1337 01:18:52.920 --> 01:18:54.800 counter attack and its tracks at the half way line. 1338 01:18:54.840 --> 01:18:58.119 Remains an elite presser and counterpresser, perhaps not the box 1339 01:18:58.199 --> 01:18:59.600 threat needed in this game. 1340 01:18:59.760 --> 01:19:01.560 Well correct, that was always gonna be. 1341 01:19:01.600 --> 01:19:04.560 The problem is Lynn Williams is not a true nine 1342 01:19:04.960 --> 01:19:06.960 and she doesn't really have the skills to be a 1343 01:19:07.000 --> 01:19:10.560 false nine. That's not her game and it kind of 1344 01:19:10.560 --> 01:19:11.399 showed the whole time. 1345 01:19:12.600 --> 01:19:17.760 Yasmine Ryan, there were three paragraphs written by tlh a's 1346 01:19:17.800 --> 01:19:22.159 Soccer America about Yasmine Ryan. Why were there three paragraphs 1347 01:19:22.159 --> 01:19:24.000 written about the Gotham FC player. 1348 01:19:24.319 --> 01:19:28.479 Well, I think first off, we didn't see a whole lot. 1349 01:19:28.319 --> 01:19:30.680 From her in the October camp. Part of that is 1350 01:19:30.680 --> 01:19:33.560 just because she that was her first time playing for 1351 01:19:33.600 --> 01:19:36.760 the national team. But she came in and changed the game. 1352 01:19:36.800 --> 01:19:38.039 I mean, you talked about a little bit of a 1353 01:19:38.119 --> 01:19:41.399 lull happening midway through that second half, she came in 1354 01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:46.680 and provided not just a spark, but an actual outlet 1355 01:19:46.680 --> 01:19:50.319 for attack. She was making runs in behind, she was 1356 01:19:50.359 --> 01:19:51.920 getting the ball at her feet and trying to take 1357 01:19:51.960 --> 01:19:54.439 on players. It was a really good game for me, 1358 01:19:54.479 --> 01:19:56.359 as mean Ryan to the point where you go, oh, 1359 01:19:57.079 --> 01:20:01.680 this is a woman who after one camp, got her confidence. 1360 01:20:02.079 --> 01:20:05.680 Because sometimes that first national team camp you come in 1361 01:20:05.720 --> 01:20:08.520 and you're just brimming with confidence. You're overflowing with it 1362 01:20:08.560 --> 01:20:10.840 because you're like, Oh, I got a call up, you know, finally, 1363 01:20:11.920 --> 01:20:13.920 and that's great. But sometimes it can also be the 1364 01:20:13.920 --> 01:20:16.199 opposite where you're like, oh, man, it's my first camp. 1365 01:20:16.199 --> 01:20:17.680 I gotta be perfect. I gotta do this, I gotta 1366 01:20:17.720 --> 01:20:21.680 do that. So, for example, Emma Sears, I think her 1367 01:20:21.680 --> 01:20:23.199 first camp was great because she just kind of played 1368 01:20:23.239 --> 01:20:25.039 the way she always has. I think he has me 1369 01:20:25.039 --> 01:20:27.119 and Ryan now figured out how do I play within 1370 01:20:27.159 --> 01:20:29.279 the system, how do I use my skill set to 1371 01:20:29.279 --> 01:20:31.399 play within this system? Because she's very good on the ball. 1372 01:20:32.199 --> 01:20:34.439 She's basically a midfielder who plays out on the wing, 1373 01:20:36.279 --> 01:20:37.880 and I think she was able to do that a 1374 01:20:37.880 --> 01:20:39.520 lot when she came into this game. 1375 01:20:41.000 --> 01:20:44.760 Third ever cap, multiple slip passes across face goal should 1376 01:20:44.800 --> 01:20:47.159 have been finished off cross forced Irp's offer line. You 1377 01:20:47.159 --> 01:20:49.279 needed to be punched away. Also had the shot that 1378 01:20:49.279 --> 01:20:51.119 almost won the penalty, but then it was reversed by 1379 01:20:51.199 --> 01:20:54.800 var balance made it very hard for England defenders to 1380 01:20:54.840 --> 01:20:56.159 guess which way she would go. 1381 01:20:56.880 --> 01:20:57.199 He said. 1382 01:20:57.239 --> 01:20:59.960 Her switching wings during the match to increase in low 1383 01:21:00.560 --> 01:21:03.520 brought out the best in level hoped to make and 1384 01:21:03.560 --> 01:21:06.560 helped make the field feel bigger. If I could speak 1385 01:21:06.600 --> 01:21:09.159 English goodly on a Monday. 1386 01:21:09.239 --> 01:21:12.720 Yeah, I think the point about Levell is very important 1387 01:21:12.720 --> 01:21:14.640 because I think Rosevela is best, but she has some 1388 01:21:14.720 --> 01:21:16.279 wingers that she can combine with. 1389 01:21:17.520 --> 01:21:21.000 Both Rose and Lindsay aren't exactly positionally sound, which is 1390 01:21:21.000 --> 01:21:21.560 a fine thing. 1391 01:21:21.720 --> 01:21:24.479 They're very good at what they do and so Leavell 1392 01:21:24.560 --> 01:21:27.039 being able to play off yasmin Ryan on either side 1393 01:21:27.159 --> 01:21:29.279 was really fun to watch. It really important for this 1394 01:21:29.319 --> 01:21:33.039 team going forward because that is the most similar to 1395 01:21:33.079 --> 01:21:37.000 what we're going to see from be it Swanson or 1396 01:21:38.720 --> 01:21:40.760 Rodman or even Smith. I mean, they're going to interchange 1397 01:21:40.760 --> 01:21:43.399 a lot because they're all good on it wherever they 1398 01:21:43.399 --> 01:21:45.880 happen to be on the field. So Yasmin Ryan being 1399 01:21:45.920 --> 01:21:49.560 able to do that is a good plug in for 1400 01:21:49.600 --> 01:21:50.760 those players when they're gone. 1401 01:21:51.079 --> 01:21:53.359 Jayden Shaw got a five Corbra and Albert got a five. 1402 01:21:53.439 --> 01:21:57.079 Valley Centiner becomes the eighth different player twenty one years 1403 01:21:57.119 --> 01:21:59.800 old or younger to appear for the USA and twenty 1404 01:21:59.840 --> 01:22:03.479 four or the most in a calendar year. Since what year, sir? 1405 01:22:06.279 --> 01:22:08.600 Well? Can I can I get a hint? 1406 01:22:08.680 --> 01:22:09.000 Sure? 1407 01:22:09.119 --> 01:22:14.399 Two thousands? It ain't recent, Probably ninety eighty nine or 1408 01:22:14.479 --> 01:22:17.439 ninety Well, well, okay, I should have said twenty first century. 1409 01:22:17.439 --> 01:22:21.119 But aw oh, twenty first century, twenty first century, but 1410 01:22:21.159 --> 01:22:21.720 it ain't reach. 1411 01:22:21.640 --> 01:22:26.600 Two thousand and nine, two thousand and two tally include 1412 01:22:26.680 --> 01:22:28.319 or the twenty twenty three World Cup. 1413 01:22:28.279 --> 01:22:31.960 Including Heather O'Reilly, Hope, Solo, Ali Wagner, a'bi wombat. 1414 01:22:32.079 --> 01:22:33.399 Yeah, I guess so that makes sense. 1415 01:22:33.520 --> 01:22:37.119 Yeah, eight different player twenty one years old or younger 1416 01:22:37.159 --> 01:22:39.039 to appear for the USA in twenty Yeah. 1417 01:22:39.039 --> 01:22:41.520 I always feel I forget that that that was the 1418 01:22:41.560 --> 01:22:47.079 start of the Hope Solo, Abby Womback transition because I 1419 01:22:47.119 --> 01:22:48.880 always still think that the ninety nine ers are still 1420 01:22:48.920 --> 01:22:50.640 all part of that team, and they weren't part of 1421 01:22:50.680 --> 01:22:52.880 the twenty two thousand and three World Cup. 1422 01:22:53.159 --> 01:22:56.640 It's correct, Yeah, A still undefeated record with the national 1423 01:22:56.640 --> 01:22:59.399 team now fourteen oh to two, second time the USA 1424 01:22:59.439 --> 01:23:02.000 has failed to win since ma Hayes became head coach 1425 01:23:02.039 --> 01:23:04.479 in June. The other was a goalless draw against coach Rica. 1426 01:23:04.800 --> 01:23:06.800 Yeah did they really that? 1427 01:23:08.399 --> 01:23:11.920 Uh so you had you had the subs yellow cards, 1428 01:23:12.159 --> 01:23:14.640 Coffee got one, Kelly got one at ninety plus four. 1429 01:23:15.079 --> 01:23:18.399 It was a finish crew f I n n I 1430 01:23:18.640 --> 01:23:23.880 s Yeah. Le Tavada was the ref in the middle. 1431 01:23:24.159 --> 01:23:29.079 Havan and Paavoen were your ars, Satuminen was your fourth, 1432 01:23:29.439 --> 01:23:32.880 Anti Munuka was your VR and your aba R was 1433 01:23:32.960 --> 01:23:35.399 you can hunkn it. I just like I just like 1434 01:23:35.520 --> 01:23:38.920 saying finish last names as we go through here. Shots 1435 01:23:38.920 --> 01:23:41.079 on the day us A ten to four shots on target, 1436 01:23:41.079 --> 01:23:44.479 three to one air go more saves for England three 1437 01:23:44.520 --> 01:23:47.800 to one, six six corners compared to three twelve fouls 1438 01:23:47.840 --> 01:23:50.720 called in the match seven on England, three off sides 1439 01:23:50.720 --> 01:23:53.560 two for England. Position possession fifty four to forty six. 1440 01:23:54.319 --> 01:23:57.479 Woopy blank and do. USA was off to the Hague 1441 01:23:57.479 --> 01:23:59.199 and they're going to face off against the Netherlands and 1442 01:23:59.239 --> 01:24:02.039 their last matchup twenty twenty four tomorrow at two forty 1443 01:24:02.159 --> 01:24:04.239 five Eastern time. 1444 01:24:05.880 --> 01:24:08.520 Yeah, I thought if I thought the referee had an 1445 01:24:08.920 --> 01:24:09.600 interesting game. 1446 01:24:11.800 --> 01:24:15.279 Okay, okay, so police proceed sir, with your There were 1447 01:24:15.279 --> 01:24:17.560 a couple of times that well, first off, in like 1448 01:24:17.600 --> 01:24:20.640 the first ten minutes, Lindsey Horand gets absolutely stomped on 1449 01:24:21.399 --> 01:24:22.640 and no foul called. 1450 01:24:24.119 --> 01:24:26.800 And I thought Haran had a couple of times where 1451 01:24:26.840 --> 01:24:29.960 she got fouled and ref didn't do anything about it. 1452 01:24:30.199 --> 01:24:35.840 But the penalty kick was probably the most controversial and 1453 01:24:35.960 --> 01:24:39.680 most important part of the match. I think when it 1454 01:24:39.720 --> 01:24:41.600 first happened, we all were like, that didn't look like 1455 01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:44.239 in a handball, you know, and the fact that she 1456 01:24:44.279 --> 01:24:50.399 gave it was a little I understand why she pointed 1457 01:24:50.399 --> 01:24:53.880 to the spot, but it was very clear upon review 1458 01:24:53.880 --> 01:24:55.520 that it was it should not have been given at 1459 01:24:55.560 --> 01:24:57.000 all for multiple reasons. 1460 01:24:57.560 --> 01:24:59.479 Mainly it didn't hit the non. 1461 01:24:59.319 --> 01:25:03.720 Playable part the body, and also you know, it hit 1462 01:25:03.800 --> 01:25:07.239 her thigh and then bounced up, so that was probably 1463 01:25:07.479 --> 01:25:09.079 a bad decision to begin with. 1464 01:25:09.560 --> 01:25:13.279 Okay. Two instances of refing down here that I wanted 1465 01:25:13.279 --> 01:25:15.159 to get into, both from the Premier League this week. 1466 01:25:15.199 --> 01:25:17.159 All right, Yeah, we never have refing issues in the 1467 01:25:17.199 --> 01:25:18.359 Premier League, Johnny. 1468 01:25:18.039 --> 01:25:22.720 No, we never do. And one has to do with 1469 01:25:22.960 --> 01:25:29.079 a VAR check of four minutes and twenty seven seconds 1470 01:25:30.479 --> 01:25:35.439 bright in Southampton and the VR eventual decision. 1471 01:25:35.079 --> 01:25:37.119 Four minutes it ended like twenty seven to two. Why 1472 01:25:37.119 --> 01:25:38.039 did we have that long of a. 1473 01:25:38.079 --> 01:25:43.279 V VR check, big check to see if the goal 1474 01:25:44.720 --> 01:25:45.920 that was the wrong one I was watching that was 1475 01:25:46.520 --> 01:25:50.319 Switch Southampton. So this and once again what we do 1476 01:25:50.439 --> 01:25:54.439 for references. We go to our buddy Dale Johnson who 1477 01:25:54.439 --> 01:25:57.600 does a fantastic job of looking at the moments from 1478 01:25:57.600 --> 01:26:01.039 the weekend in the prem that we look at here 1479 01:26:01.079 --> 01:26:02.760 on Mondays and we just pull a couple of them 1480 01:26:02.840 --> 01:26:05.880 unless there's something else from another match that really just 1481 01:26:06.119 --> 01:26:11.319 raises our hair on our collective neck. So now Brighton 1482 01:26:11.439 --> 01:26:14.079 Southampton Southampton thought they had a two to one lead 1483 01:26:15.039 --> 01:26:17.640 and Saints players go off to celebrate a delay of 1484 01:26:17.640 --> 01:26:22.439 about thirty seconds before ref's allow The onfield officials allowed 1485 01:26:22.439 --> 01:26:27.199 to disallow the goal for an offside VAR checked to 1486 01:26:27.239 --> 01:26:30.720 see if the goal could be awarded. They eventually wipe 1487 01:26:30.760 --> 01:26:35.119 the goal off the board. Now, Dale Johnson says it's 1488 01:26:35.119 --> 01:26:38.640 a decision which can be explained in law, but it 1489 01:26:38.680 --> 01:26:42.000 took far too long, makes the decision seem worse than otherwise. 1490 01:26:42.119 --> 01:26:45.720 Might have ref and his ar deemed that by flicking 1491 01:26:45.840 --> 01:26:51.079 at the ball, Armstrong makes an obvious action which clearly 1492 01:26:51.159 --> 01:26:54.039 impacts on the ability of an opponent to play the ball, 1493 01:26:54.159 --> 01:26:56.399 and in that case the opponent was the keeper for 1494 01:26:56.479 --> 01:27:00.239 Brighton bart ver Brugen. For Brugen's on his line didn't move, 1495 01:27:00.359 --> 01:27:04.640 so how can he be impacted. The law intends to 1496 01:27:04.720 --> 01:27:07.960 prevent an offside player doing something which affects an opponent. 1497 01:27:08.439 --> 01:27:10.680 It could be, you know, kicking the ball dummy. We'll 1498 01:27:10.680 --> 01:27:12.800 think of it this way, an act which, if not present, 1499 01:27:13.159 --> 01:27:16.600 might result in the opponent taking a different decision. For 1500 01:27:16.720 --> 01:27:19.039 Brugen cannot move from his position at the near post 1501 01:27:19.399 --> 01:27:22.640 as the cross from Ryan Fraser goes close. No possible 1502 01:27:22.680 --> 01:27:26.920 offense from Armstrong until he flicked his leg out. The 1503 01:27:27.000 --> 01:27:30.439 law also says you don't have to think that Armstrong 1504 01:27:30.479 --> 01:27:32.439 can score or even get a shot on target, only 1505 01:27:32.439 --> 01:27:36.800 that the obvious action has an impact. So could Verbrugen 1506 01:27:36.840 --> 01:27:38.840 could have moved over to the center of goal to 1507 01:27:39.039 --> 01:27:42.319 archer sooner. The law does not demand that the keeper 1508 01:27:42.359 --> 01:27:44.239 has been stopped for making a save, only that his 1509 01:27:44.359 --> 01:27:47.399 ability to do so has been impacted. 1510 01:27:47.920 --> 01:27:51.760 Yeah, I think, yeah, I mean I think they got 1511 01:27:51.760 --> 01:27:52.119 this right. 1512 01:27:52.159 --> 01:27:54.600 I do think that these types of offside. 1513 01:27:54.479 --> 01:27:56.840 Ruling should take a little bit longer because you want 1514 01:27:56.880 --> 01:28:00.039 to make sure you are interpreting all that. 1515 01:28:00.000 --> 01:28:01.199 That you just said correctly. 1516 01:28:01.359 --> 01:28:05.920 Of interfering with active play, that's the rule, right, if 1517 01:28:05.920 --> 01:28:08.880 you are involved or interfere with active play, you're going 1518 01:28:08.920 --> 01:28:15.159 to be considered offside. And in this particular moment, the 1519 01:28:15.359 --> 01:28:19.680 lead striker where a ball literally runs right through his 1520 01:28:19.760 --> 01:28:22.319 legs and it kind of basically looks like it just 1521 01:28:22.359 --> 01:28:24.479 goes right through his legs and he's in an offside 1522 01:28:24.479 --> 01:28:28.000 position or at least goes slightly behind him, but he 1523 01:28:28.000 --> 01:28:32.680 does make an action that that to me is absolutely 1524 01:28:32.760 --> 01:28:35.880 enough to call him off side because he's he's trying 1525 01:28:35.880 --> 01:28:38.439 to get he is trying to involve himself an active play. 1526 01:28:39.399 --> 01:28:43.279 It's not about touching. He made a. 1527 01:28:43.159 --> 01:28:46.520 Play on a ball from an offside position that has 1528 01:28:46.760 --> 01:28:50.399 definitely interfered with the goalkeeper's ability to make a play 1529 01:28:50.439 --> 01:28:54.279 on the ball period. I think again, as the writer 1530 01:28:54.479 --> 01:28:57.640 points out, got it correct, I do think that the 1531 01:28:57.720 --> 01:29:00.840 time it took to get this correct is a problem. 1532 01:29:01.159 --> 01:29:04.000 And that's where I do wish that from what I remember, 1533 01:29:04.079 --> 01:29:05.840 the referee never went to the monitor for. 1534 01:29:05.840 --> 01:29:06.840 This, I don't think so. 1535 01:29:06.960 --> 01:29:08.760 I think this is the type of play where the 1536 01:29:08.800 --> 01:29:10.680 referee should go to the monitor. It should be a 1537 01:29:10.720 --> 01:29:13.479 very quick like, hey, he's in an offside position. We 1538 01:29:13.520 --> 01:29:15.279 want you to make sure that you think that he's 1539 01:29:15.319 --> 01:29:17.920 not interfering with play, or if he is interfering with play, 1540 01:29:18.319 --> 01:29:20.239 let the on field official. 1541 01:29:20.199 --> 01:29:21.279 Make that decision. 1542 01:29:23.039 --> 01:29:24.920 Again, I think the problem with the Premier League is 1543 01:29:24.920 --> 01:29:27.680 the center referee very rarely does go to the monitor, 1544 01:29:27.920 --> 01:29:29.960 and I think they should empower them to do that, 1545 01:29:30.039 --> 01:29:32.199 but they keep giving someone else who's not involved in 1546 01:29:32.199 --> 01:29:35.199 the game at all more power than they should. 1547 01:29:36.079 --> 01:29:40.239 Three minutes and twenty three seconds to determine if the 1548 01:29:40.319 --> 01:29:44.800 action was interrupted, and then another minute and four seconds 1549 01:29:44.880 --> 01:29:48.359 to check on the off side. 1550 01:29:48.239 --> 01:29:51.000 Which the off side was pretty to me. The offside 1551 01:29:51.079 --> 01:29:55.159 was pretty clear. The player was offside, you know, and 1552 01:29:55.239 --> 01:29:57.359 so where I would be looking at it. And this 1553 01:29:57.399 --> 01:30:01.479 is why, again I don't understand why when you watch 1554 01:30:01.520 --> 01:30:04.079 it originally you should be checking for an offside. The 1555 01:30:04.119 --> 01:30:06.640 goal scorer was not offside, okay, fine, but when you 1556 01:30:06.680 --> 01:30:08.760 looked at it immediately that patch, you go, oh, that 1557 01:30:08.840 --> 01:30:11.399 dude is offside, like he is in an off side 1558 01:30:11.439 --> 01:30:16.159 position very clearly, and in fact, the goal scorer was 1559 01:30:16.600 --> 01:30:19.960 darn close to being offside in his own right. So 1560 01:30:20.479 --> 01:30:22.840 that's where I'm going. Okay, is very clear that there's 1561 01:30:22.880 --> 01:30:28.000 an offside question. Yeah, the goal scorer may have been 1562 01:30:28.000 --> 01:30:30.920 on side. Okay, fine, check that off. Fine, but then 1563 01:30:31.039 --> 01:30:32.800 you have to go, well, this player was in an 1564 01:30:32.800 --> 01:30:33.560 offside position. 1565 01:30:34.159 --> 01:30:34.720 Roll the tape. 1566 01:30:34.760 --> 01:30:37.039 Oh, that looks like it could be a problem. Hey, 1567 01:30:37.560 --> 01:30:40.520 I forget who the center referee was, but hey, John, 1568 01:30:41.000 --> 01:30:43.000 go go to the monitor. See if you think that 1569 01:30:43.039 --> 01:30:47.239 this was interfering with active play the goalkeeper's ability to make. 1570 01:30:47.119 --> 01:30:51.279 A play on the ball. And good job that. 1571 01:30:52.479 --> 01:30:54.600 I'm not saying it would have taken less time. But 1572 01:30:54.640 --> 01:30:56.560 I think the problem is when you're just have the 1573 01:30:56.600 --> 01:30:59.319 center referee standing there almost twiddling his thumbs waiting for 1574 01:30:59.520 --> 01:31:01.079 you know, putting his hand up to his ear, going 1575 01:31:01.159 --> 01:31:04.640 oh I'm checking, they're checking. It just seems so passive 1576 01:31:05.359 --> 01:31:07.960 versus a referee going to a monitor to go look 1577 01:31:08.000 --> 01:31:11.399 at it, to say, okay, what do I think happened here, 1578 01:31:11.760 --> 01:31:14.520 especially when in this case it was very clear the 1579 01:31:14.520 --> 01:31:18.439 player was offside. This is not about MLS telling them 1580 01:31:18.439 --> 01:31:21.520 to go to a monitor to maybe determine if they're 1581 01:31:21.520 --> 01:31:23.760 offside or on side. We know they are because the 1582 01:31:23.800 --> 01:31:27.199 primary league has that technology. So then for me, the 1583 01:31:27.239 --> 01:31:30.199 next step should be on field official needs to look 1584 01:31:30.239 --> 01:31:32.960 at the play to determine if this was offside or not. 1585 01:31:33.800 --> 01:31:36.760 All right, and so if you go if you work backwards, 1586 01:31:37.079 --> 01:31:38.960 let's just say you work backwards, even if you don't 1587 01:31:38.960 --> 01:31:42.960 go to the monitor. The off side decision was a 1588 01:31:43.000 --> 01:31:45.800 minute four That should have been the easiest one. To 1589 01:31:45.800 --> 01:31:48.199 sit there and go yes, no, it's like ding ding 1590 01:31:48.279 --> 01:31:51.720 ding boom, and then you move on and then working backwards. 1591 01:31:51.720 --> 01:31:53.920 It would not have taken four minutes and twenty seven 1592 01:31:53.960 --> 01:31:55.920 seconds to come up with a decision A. If you 1593 01:31:56.000 --> 01:31:57.479 go to the monitor and take a peek with me. 1594 01:31:58.159 --> 01:32:01.239 B maybe if you work backwards and go okay offside 1595 01:32:01.279 --> 01:32:03.520 not offside? Okay, ding ding ding, We got that taken 1596 01:32:03.560 --> 01:32:05.800 care of. It takes what fifteen twenty seconds? And then 1597 01:32:05.800 --> 01:32:07.239 you go when you focus on the other three and 1598 01:32:07.279 --> 01:32:09.399 a half minutes, it's get something done with two acts. 1599 01:32:09.520 --> 01:32:12.640 I think to have that action take three and a 1600 01:32:12.680 --> 01:32:14.680 half minutes to review his. 1601 01:32:16.279 --> 01:32:19.039 Crazy Honestly, go to. 1602 01:32:19.199 --> 01:32:22.720 The monitor, people, it ain't it's just look, you're not 1603 01:32:22.760 --> 01:32:24.840 gonna hurt my feelings if you go to the monitor, 1604 01:32:24.840 --> 01:32:26.960 I'm not going to think less of you, of an individual, 1605 01:32:26.960 --> 01:32:28.479 if you go to the monitor. 1606 01:32:28.840 --> 01:32:31.000 And again, then it puts that hand the decision making 1607 01:32:31.159 --> 01:32:34.880 in the hands of the on field official, which is 1608 01:32:34.880 --> 01:32:37.119 I think what most people would be more comfortable with. 1609 01:32:37.520 --> 01:32:42.279 Yep. Item number two comes from Liverpool Manchester City and 1610 01:32:42.319 --> 01:32:46.880 it's the Ortega penalty call. As he goes and he 1611 01:32:47.000 --> 01:32:51.359 chases after this one, and this is an important point 1612 01:32:51.479 --> 01:32:55.119 that needs to be made in these kinds of situations 1613 01:32:56.199 --> 01:32:59.359 where I know that there was hue and cry, and 1614 01:32:59.399 --> 01:33:02.520 there was quite a hue and quite a cry about 1615 01:33:02.720 --> 01:33:07.640 it being nothing there because Ortega was making a play 1616 01:33:07.680 --> 01:33:10.039 for the ball and it looked like Diaz just basically 1617 01:33:10.079 --> 01:33:15.119 fell over Ortega and you get the penalty call. So 1618 01:33:15.680 --> 01:33:19.239 Luis Diaz chasing after a loose ball Stephan Ortega is 1619 01:33:19.399 --> 01:33:26.000 first to get to the ball, but then Luis Diaz, 1620 01:33:26.159 --> 01:33:30.600 who is second, ends up making contact with Ortega. As 1621 01:33:30.720 --> 01:33:33.880 Ortega is stretching to make contact, Luis Diaz goes over 1622 01:33:33.920 --> 01:33:37.479 the top of Ortega and it is called a penalty. 1623 01:33:37.880 --> 01:33:42.159 It is then reviewed. The penalty stands. So was there 1624 01:33:42.199 --> 01:33:45.720 a case for offside? Was there a case for a 1625 01:33:45.840 --> 01:33:51.199 red on Ortega? And was this even a penalty or 1626 01:33:51.479 --> 01:33:54.279 was Louis Diaz kind of sitting there and fishing for 1627 01:33:54.319 --> 01:33:56.479 a call? So this is what we're staring at in 1628 01:33:56.479 --> 01:34:01.840 this particular instant. Yeah, so a lot. There's a lot 1629 01:34:01.880 --> 01:34:04.800 to unpack here. And if you want to go through 1630 01:34:04.840 --> 01:34:08.119 it in real time or instance to instance to instance 1631 01:34:08.159 --> 01:34:10.119 instead of staring at it from thirty thousand feet and 1632 01:34:10.159 --> 01:34:11.439 you want to walk through the play, go ahead and 1633 01:34:11.479 --> 01:34:12.640 walk through the play as you see it. 1634 01:34:14.000 --> 01:34:17.720 Well, So this is where I understand it's tough because 1635 01:34:21.279 --> 01:34:23.600 most people are going to say or take a oh, 1636 01:34:23.680 --> 01:34:25.880 well he gets the ball, or some level of that 1637 01:34:25.960 --> 01:34:29.960 type of commentary. Right, I just want to reiterate that 1638 01:34:30.920 --> 01:34:34.359 winning the ball as a defender does. 1639 01:34:34.199 --> 01:34:37.600 Not mean that you are. 1640 01:34:39.439 --> 01:34:45.000 Excused from making a foul. And I think that's the 1641 01:34:45.039 --> 01:34:52.600 problem here is you can argue that in this case, 1642 01:34:52.640 --> 01:34:57.079 the goalkeeper is their first Yeah, I think you can. 1643 01:34:57.239 --> 01:35:01.520 But did they get the ball? And that's the question. 1644 01:35:03.640 --> 01:35:08.399 I I don't know, John. This is the tough one 1645 01:35:08.439 --> 01:35:13.159 because I get the point, but because there's very minimal contact. 1646 01:35:13.680 --> 01:35:16.199 But the reality is the goalkeeper doesn't touch the ball. Right, 1647 01:35:16.600 --> 01:35:17.159 he doesn't. 1648 01:35:17.199 --> 01:35:18.920 He may get to the place first, but he. 1649 01:35:18.920 --> 01:35:26.199 Doesn't touch the ball, so the attacker having to jump 1650 01:35:26.199 --> 01:35:26.680 over them. 1651 01:35:28.960 --> 01:35:32.920 He doesn't. The attacker is the attacker does not have 1652 01:35:33.039 --> 01:35:34.520 to take evasive action. 1653 01:35:34.800 --> 01:35:35.479 He doesn't have to. 1654 01:35:35.600 --> 01:35:38.319 He could have just ran over or ran through him, 1655 01:35:38.359 --> 01:35:40.119 you know. And then we're talking about having a fight 1656 01:35:40.560 --> 01:35:44.199 because someone's mad about that him running into the goalkeeper, 1657 01:35:44.199 --> 01:35:45.840 and so to me is like, well, he at least 1658 01:35:45.880 --> 01:35:50.319 tried to avoid him. Yeah, do I think he was 1659 01:35:50.399 --> 01:35:56.159 probably I don't even know, you know, I don't think 1660 01:35:56.199 --> 01:35:58.479 he was looking for a foul that bad thing. Anyway, Again, 1661 01:35:58.520 --> 01:36:00.319 he didn't really drag his feet. He tried to ship 1662 01:36:00.319 --> 01:36:01.760 with the goalkeeper and go overrom because he knew he 1663 01:36:01.800 --> 01:36:06.479 could probably score from there. And again I think the 1664 01:36:06.479 --> 01:36:08.520 goalkeeper gets the spot first. I don't know if he 1665 01:36:08.520 --> 01:36:11.560 gets any of the ball, but he doesn't intentionally get 1666 01:36:11.560 --> 01:36:14.640 the player. But he's in the path of the player 1667 01:36:14.680 --> 01:36:16.800 to get to the ball and he's not in a 1668 01:36:16.800 --> 01:36:18.640 position to play it at that point in time. And 1669 01:36:18.640 --> 01:36:20.560 that is the problem with the goalkeeper when they go 1670 01:36:20.600 --> 01:36:23.079 to the ground like that specifically, or any defender when 1671 01:36:23.079 --> 01:36:25.800 they go to the ground once you have committed to 1672 01:36:25.880 --> 01:36:28.800 the ground to winning that ball. Well you're no longer 1673 01:36:28.840 --> 01:36:31.560 in consideration for playing that ball once it goes past you, 1674 01:36:31.560 --> 01:36:33.319 you know what I'm saying. So it's hard for me 1675 01:36:33.359 --> 01:36:35.560 to say like, oh, they're within playable distance. Now, It's like, well, 1676 01:36:35.560 --> 01:36:37.279 the ball is behind them and they're laying on the ground, 1677 01:36:37.600 --> 01:36:39.880 so what is playing? What is a playable distance at 1678 01:36:39.880 --> 01:36:44.119 that point? I think eventually the I think this is 1679 01:36:44.119 --> 01:36:46.399 probably the correct call. But this goes to one of 1680 01:36:46.399 --> 01:36:49.239 those like, yeah, it's a foul, but it should it 1681 01:36:49.279 --> 01:36:50.159 be a penalty kick. 1682 01:36:51.199 --> 01:36:54.720 As it is class Yeah, that's the problem, a promising 1683 01:36:54.800 --> 01:36:57.840 attack on a penalty rather than dogs no yellow card. 1684 01:36:58.159 --> 01:37:00.359 Okay, so yeah, this is not dog so because there's 1685 01:37:00.359 --> 01:37:02.600 a legitimate play on the ball, right, I mean, as 1686 01:37:02.600 --> 01:37:04.840 as simple as that, right, I mean, he is absolutely 1687 01:37:04.840 --> 01:37:05.359 the last of vendor. 1688 01:37:05.439 --> 01:37:06.680 Is absolutely a dog so thing. 1689 01:37:07.199 --> 01:37:09.319 But because I mean, I think it's fair to say 1690 01:37:09.359 --> 01:37:11.760 this goalkeeper was making he wasn't trying to file the player. 1691 01:37:11.960 --> 01:37:14.439 He was trying to the ball. He just didn't, right, 1692 01:37:15.720 --> 01:37:17.640 I mean, I I don't even think he like reached 1693 01:37:17.640 --> 01:37:18.560 out and tried to grab him. 1694 01:37:18.560 --> 01:37:21.399 From what I can tell, you know, he's thinking ball first, 1695 01:37:21.560 --> 01:37:22.880 and whatever happens happened. 1696 01:37:23.159 --> 01:37:26.000 And so when we when we classified this as dogs, 1697 01:37:26.119 --> 01:37:30.720 it's probably dogs so yellows maybe what they called it 1698 01:37:31.119 --> 01:37:35.000 versus stopping a promising attack. But regardless, this outcome is 1699 01:37:35.039 --> 01:37:37.560 because we this is not a red card because there 1700 01:37:37.640 --> 01:37:40.319 was a legitimate play on the ball in the penalty area. 1701 01:37:40.319 --> 01:37:42.039 We don't want to give teams both a red card 1702 01:37:42.439 --> 01:37:47.000 and a penalty kick aka a goal down. You know, 1703 01:37:47.119 --> 01:37:52.039 that's where we are now. At the same time, you know, 1704 01:37:52.279 --> 01:37:56.600 I know it's it's unfair to call any penalties against 1705 01:37:56.600 --> 01:38:02.880 Manchester City that somehow so sure you know those checks 1706 01:38:02.880 --> 01:38:05.359 stopped clearing all of a sudden, I think is what happened. 1707 01:38:05.920 --> 01:38:08.640 But yeah, that is just not a dog so red 1708 01:38:08.680 --> 01:38:11.600 because there is a legit this is a legitimate play 1709 01:38:11.640 --> 01:38:12.199 to win the ball. 1710 01:38:12.399 --> 01:38:13.479 He just doesn't. 1711 01:38:13.640 --> 01:38:16.039 And again even if he had gotten a piece of it, 1712 01:38:17.239 --> 01:38:20.680 he still comes through and clears out the attacker. Again, 1713 01:38:20.760 --> 01:38:23.640 winning the ball does not preclude you from fouling someone. 1714 01:38:24.279 --> 01:38:26.239 All right, So what's going on with the soccer for 1715 01:38:26.359 --> 01:38:30.600 us PO?

As I was trying 1804 01:42:50.039 --> 01:42:52.800 to well, Bart was discussing things. Jayant, like the head 1805 01:42:52.800 --> 01:42:55.279 coach at the Columbus State number two ranked team and 1806 01:42:55.319 --> 01:42:57.000 Division two on the women's side, they're going to be 1807 01:42:57.079 --> 01:42:58.680 joining he's going to be joining us tomorrow morning at 1808 01:42:58.720 --> 01:43:01.399 nine thirty to discuss the week and the week that 1809 01:43:01.479 --> 01:43:03.920 will be as they're chasing after a national championship. So 1810 01:43:04.720 --> 01:43:07.399 good stuff there, all right, So let me go back 1811 01:43:08.399 --> 01:43:12.199 and go back into the article. Yes, Tim Muselni and 1812 01:43:12.239 --> 01:43:16.319 Miku Koivu don't forget Saku Koevu, Will and all of 1813 01:43:16.319 --> 01:43:19.880 the other famous Finns. I want to go back to 1814 01:43:20.079 --> 01:43:27.520 the article that Rich brought in to the timeline this morning. 1815 01:43:27.600 --> 01:43:29.560 There is some other things that we do have to 1816 01:43:29.560 --> 01:43:33.920 break down, and it's from our friends in Sportico so 1817 01:43:34.039 --> 01:43:36.680 Lega MX teams to vote on a formal investment from 1818 01:43:36.720 --> 01:43:42.000 Apollo and the NFL, and Lina MX does need the investment, 1819 01:43:42.039 --> 01:43:45.159 I will say that. From our friends at Sportico Lega 1820 01:43:45.279 --> 01:43:47.600 MX says it's reached a formal agreement on an investment 1821 01:43:47.640 --> 01:43:53.640 from Apollo Global Management and the National Football League, pending 1822 01:43:53.640 --> 01:43:56.000 a vote of approval from all eighteen teams to pull 1823 01:43:56.079 --> 01:43:59.880 some of the league's commercial rights. I don't know how 1824 01:44:00.079 --> 01:44:03.000 that's gonna work, because there have been for as long 1825 01:44:03.039 --> 01:44:07.199 as folks can remember, the teams had their individual TV deals. 1826 01:44:07.239 --> 01:44:09.479 I don't know that's gonna work out well. And I 1827 01:44:09.520 --> 01:44:15.720 don't know if I don't know if say Krusas Sul 1828 01:44:16.039 --> 01:44:21.840 is going to like to share revenue with UH with Juarez, 1829 01:44:24.039 --> 01:44:26.920 I don't know if they're gonna like that. Letters sent 1830 01:44:27.000 --> 01:44:29.520 to owners on Friday, copy of which viewed by Sportico 1831 01:44:29.680 --> 01:44:32.760 Lega MX president to Wan Carlos Rodriguez outline the agreement, 1832 01:44:32.760 --> 01:44:35.640 which could be quote the largest transformation project end quote 1833 01:44:35.640 --> 01:44:38.199 in history of Mexican football, the result of months in 1834 01:44:38.239 --> 01:44:41.119 negotiation that started with a billion and a quarter dollar 1835 01:44:41.239 --> 01:44:45.399 influx of capital from Apollo. Maayles has been advising the 1836 01:44:45.439 --> 01:44:48.600 league and its talks with prospective investors. Agreement would give 1837 01:44:48.640 --> 01:44:52.760 Lega MX more capital, stronger corporate governance, and a reorganization 1838 01:44:52.840 --> 01:44:55.279 of the soccer pyramid in the country. The letter says, 1839 01:44:55.880 --> 01:45:01.840 also includes the creation of an entity, La Commercializadora commerci 1840 01:45:01.880 --> 01:45:05.640 Ali Zadora to house grouped commercial rights such as sponsorships 1841 01:45:05.640 --> 01:45:09.680 and media deals. Perhaps most notably, the letter mentions participation 1842 01:45:09.760 --> 01:45:12.800 in the investment by the National Football League and also 1843 01:45:12.840 --> 01:45:14.680 talks with Major League Soccer about an expansion of their 1844 01:45:14.720 --> 01:45:17.600 ongoing partnership and a possible League's Cup two point zero 1845 01:45:18.159 --> 01:45:21.600 starting in twenty twenty seven. Lega MX clubs will have 1846 01:45:21.640 --> 01:45:23.800 access to the deal points this week, the letter says, 1847 01:45:23.920 --> 01:45:26.880 meetings later in the month with the goal of securing votes. 1848 01:45:27.840 --> 01:45:32.319 Letter doesn't share specific financial details. Rodriguez did immediately respond 1849 01:45:32.359 --> 01:45:35.159 to an email seeking comment. Representatives for NFL and molest 1850 01:45:35.159 --> 01:45:38.199 declined immediate comment. Reps for Apollo and Maelis did not 1851 01:45:38.279 --> 01:45:40.800 respond to an email seeking comment. So I ain't nobody talking. 1852 01:45:41.279 --> 01:45:43.880 I'm guessing until the vote happens, and it's either Yate 1853 01:45:44.000 --> 01:45:47.199 or Naid, We're not going to find out much. Apollo 1854 01:45:47.239 --> 01:45:49.760 two years ago, prepping that that investment offered a Legia 1855 01:45:49.840 --> 01:45:52.640 MX Sportico reported at the time that the firm was 1856 01:45:52.680 --> 01:45:55.600 seeking twenty percent of the profits from the league's non 1857 01:45:55.640 --> 01:45:59.720 Mexican media rights over the next fifty years, a bet 1858 01:46:00.239 --> 01:46:02.039 that the most watched soccer league in the United States 1859 01:46:02.079 --> 01:46:04.560 has significant commercial growth and its future beyond its home 1860 01:46:04.600 --> 01:46:08.039 country offer contingent upon the clubs agreeing to sell their 1861 01:46:08.079 --> 01:46:11.039 broadcast rights as a whole, and that's what we just 1862 01:46:11.079 --> 01:46:16.319 talked about. Unlike most leagues, LEGAMX currently allows individual teams 1863 01:46:16.319 --> 01:46:20.760 to ink their own commercial partnerships Chievas Club Amedica signing 1864 01:46:20.840 --> 01:46:22.840 deals in the US, which has more than thirty six 1865 01:46:22.880 --> 01:46:28.079 million people, because remember Chievas and Chievas I believe is 1866 01:46:28.119 --> 01:46:33.960 Telemundo and Club America, I believe is Telemundo if if 1867 01:46:33.960 --> 01:46:38.000 I remember correctly, and last year, Leaga MX clubs had 1868 01:46:38.000 --> 01:46:41.039 deals with five different broadcasters domestically four in the US, 1869 01:46:41.119 --> 01:46:44.600 one of the most story teams. Clubamedica is owned by Televisa. 1870 01:46:45.479 --> 01:46:47.960 Unclear how the financial terms offer changed in the years 1871 01:46:47.960 --> 01:46:50.439 of negotiations followed on so unclear how likely it is 1872 01:46:50.439 --> 01:46:55.279 that the richer Lega MX teams agree to a significant overhaul, because, 1873 01:46:55.319 --> 01:46:57.039 like I said once again, if you want to try 1874 01:46:57.039 --> 01:47:02.479 to get everything, why would why, I feel like Ross 1875 01:47:02.479 --> 01:47:05.880 all of a sudden, why why why why would Club America? 1876 01:47:07.079 --> 01:47:11.119 Why would achieve US? I mean, te Luca I believe 1877 01:47:11.119 --> 01:47:17.760 has to deal specifically with Tudani and Santos Laguna I 1878 01:47:17.800 --> 01:47:21.680 believe has one at least domestically with Fox Deporte's. Why 1879 01:47:21.680 --> 01:47:27.079 would these clubs specifically like achieve US and Club America, 1880 01:47:27.880 --> 01:47:35.279 Why would they Why? Why would they sit there and go, 1881 01:47:35.359 --> 01:47:37.560 you know what, I think that I'm going to give 1882 01:47:37.640 --> 01:47:40.239 up some of my I'm going to give up some 1883 01:47:40.319 --> 01:47:51.359 of my my own rights, so everybody is just going 1884 01:47:51.439 --> 01:47:55.000 to share. Why why if, if, why would I take 1885 01:47:55.119 --> 01:47:58.840 less money to help out other folks? If you view 1886 01:47:58.880 --> 01:48:01.600 the glass as the glass, you may understand that idea 1887 01:48:03.279 --> 01:48:05.319 and more maybe maybe more money on the back end, 1888 01:48:05.359 --> 01:48:09.760 as Rich says, you know, in theory, if that was 1889 01:48:09.800 --> 01:48:11.760 to be the case, but in the short term, why 1890 01:48:11.760 --> 01:48:14.199 would I sit there and negotiate on the whole unless 1891 01:48:14.239 --> 01:48:17.079 you get Unless you get the teams that have those 1892 01:48:17.199 --> 01:48:21.960 larger TV deals, you get them in line. Hey, this 1893 01:48:22.039 --> 01:48:24.479 is for the betterment of the league. We can reinstitute 1894 01:48:25.520 --> 01:48:30.479 promotion relegation with the League of Desenzo. And that One 1895 01:48:30.479 --> 01:48:35.159 of the silliest things for me in the years past 1896 01:48:35.279 --> 01:48:41.520 where involving Lega MX teams was that if you did 1897 01:48:41.560 --> 01:48:44.920 not make the playoffs, you got fined for not making 1898 01:48:44.960 --> 01:48:48.359 the playoffs, and the wors your team did, the more 1899 01:48:48.399 --> 01:48:54.520 you got fined. Where is the incentive other than so 1900 01:48:54.560 --> 01:48:58.159 the incentive by the league is that you better spend 1901 01:48:58.199 --> 01:49:02.199 money if you don't spend it well, if you spend 1902 01:49:02.239 --> 01:49:04.960 a lot of money and you still end up being 1903 01:49:05.039 --> 01:49:09.920 bottom three or bottom four, let's say you finished last. 1904 01:49:12.039 --> 01:49:14.800 If you spend money and you still finish last, hey, 1905 01:49:14.800 --> 01:49:25.239 that should say something about uh, your front office. Then 1906 01:49:25.279 --> 01:49:27.880 you continue to spend more money and invest more money 1907 01:49:27.880 --> 01:49:34.159 after bad so after the Klaus Sura just as an I. 1908 01:49:34.399 --> 01:49:40.039 This is once again from as from As In twenty 1909 01:49:40.079 --> 01:49:44.720 twenty three May first trio of Lega MX clubs are 1910 01:49:44.720 --> 01:49:47.479 to pay performance related find yous to support teams in 1911 01:49:47.479 --> 01:49:50.279 the league to expense you on. I get that just 1912 01:49:50.359 --> 01:50:00.000 in general. I get it, But why why do that? 1913 01:50:00.640 --> 01:50:06.680 You know? And the the uh, the fines that are there. 1914 01:50:08.680 --> 01:50:15.479 It is literally for more then it would be otherwise. 1915 01:50:15.560 --> 01:50:21.000 Oh great, now that that AS is up. Yeah, right, 1916 01:50:30.319 --> 01:50:32.960 so you go to an article from AS and it 1917 01:50:33.079 --> 01:50:52.159 just locks everything up. Good job, All right, we might 1918 01:50:52.239 --> 01:50:57.199 be back. I think we might be back, at least 1919 01:50:57.560 --> 01:51:02.520 on the hard line. Anyway, it's eleven oh two. I'm 1920 01:51:02.560 --> 01:51:06.359 going to go ahead and apologize ahead of time and 1921 01:51:06.520 --> 01:51:11.600 just say we'll be back tomorrow.
