Speaker 1: How about now how about now?
Speaker 2: Ah, all right, that's the dumbest thing ever. All right,
Speaker 2: So here's what happened.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: So the first seven minutes are basically nothing, so tell
Speaker 2: you what we're gonna do. We're gonna go ahead and restart,
Speaker 2: so because I can do that, and because we have
Speaker 2: fancy effects, and then I'll explain what happened when we
Speaker 2: come back on the other side.
Speaker 1: So here's Nick's fancy bumper. Okay.
Speaker 2: So now that we've got that figured out, all right,
Speaker 2: so let's start the show. Since it is Friday, come on, man,
Speaker 2: go for it.
Speaker 3: Dude gets Friday day.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 2: All right, Hi, Now that we have audio I was
Speaker 2: trying to figure out. Okay, so if it's not the headset,
Speaker 2: then I went back into the settings here into our
Speaker 2: platform that we used to broadcast out and after the
Speaker 2: match last night where we had.
Speaker 1: The twos and the twos will be opening kickoff.
Speaker 2: He here coming up in just a little bit, brought
Speaker 2: to us by our friends at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff
Speaker 2: coffeeco dot com. To broadcast outbound on our Mixler platform,
Speaker 2: you have to change your input to say that, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're going out on Mixler through the audio and not
Speaker 2: through this particular setup. Mixler kind of takes over the
Speaker 2: audio setup, and so it took over the audio setup
Speaker 2: last night when we did the twos and we did
Speaker 2: Crown Legacy, and so that was still there this morning,
Speaker 2: even though I wasn't on the Mixler board, so I
Speaker 2: figured it out. Holy ish, oh my god. So that
Speaker 2: was basically what was going on. Mixler kind of overtakes
Speaker 2: everything and it didn't reset after the game last night.
Speaker 1: So there you go.
Speaker 2: Hi christ all right, so good morning, it's Friday, and
Speaker 2: so here's the rundown. After seven minutes of silence where
Speaker 2: I'm troubleshooting. That just made for fantastic radio. I'm sure,
Speaker 2: here's the rundown. In fifteen minutes, we'll see if our
Speaker 2: friends from Beyond Goals Entering can join us for the
Speaker 2: Friday free kick. Then after that we our number two
Speaker 2: is we can whip around pet and pending trademark coming
Speaker 2: center hopefully rather than later. We'll go through all of
Speaker 2: the news, We'll go through your setup. We've got it
Speaker 2: Land United and Red Bulls, We've got all the stuff
Speaker 2: in the other leagues overseas, Manchester United and I mean sorry,
Speaker 2: Manchester City and Arsenal are going this weekend. Vincent Company
Speaker 2: has proposed a cap on the number of matches that
Speaker 2: anybody should play in any given season, because remember, we
Speaker 2: have players over in Europe that are taking the European
Speaker 2: competitions to court because there's just too many damn games,
Speaker 2: and so we'll see what happens there. But apparently you
Speaker 2: can still play in the English leagues even if you're
Speaker 2: taking the European competitions to court. So we'll get into
Speaker 2: that coming up in just a little bit. All right, Uh,
Speaker 2: Opening Kickoff once again, no delly, no dally, and thanks
Speaker 2: for sitting around all of the crud that I was
Speaker 2: trying to sort through this morning and in troubleshooting. So
Speaker 2: but we should mark this day that I actually did
Speaker 2: troubleshoot effectively and figure out what the heck was going on?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: Opening Kickoff brought those buyer friends at Kickoff Coffee and

Speaker 2: that they earmark is cool, kickoff Coffee and kickoff Coffeeco
Speaker 2: dot com. All right, last night it was the Twos
Speaker 2: and Crown Legacy. You got to see that match on
Speaker 2: mlsnexspro dot com and you got to listen to it
Speaker 2: here on the SDH network. I had the call for
Speaker 2: it last night, and the task was simple. I mean,
Speaker 2: the task was laid out for the twos. It's not
Speaker 2: simple by any stretch of the imagination, but the task
Speaker 2: was laid out. You had to win every match going
Speaker 2: in nine points out three matches to go. You had
Speaker 2: to win them all in regulation and get to your
Speaker 2: tie breakers in MLS next Pro and hope that you
Speaker 2: could work your way through because you would have been
Speaker 2: tied with Crown Legacy in the number of wins, so
Speaker 2: you had to win out everybody else had to stumble.
Speaker 2: You couldn't have anybody go any higher than forty points,
Speaker 2: and you could have been the eighth seed. But after
Speaker 2: what happened last night, golis after ninety minutes and it
Speaker 2: goes to the penalty kick shootout, so both teams end
Speaker 2: up with a point. Crown Legacy gets the extra point.
Speaker 2: Alan Carlton's penalty kick save is missed in the middle
Speaker 2: and the regular or season will be it for the
Speaker 2: twes here in twenty twenty four.
Speaker 1: So public service announcement.
Speaker 2: Home finale is Tuesday at the Fraction seven thirty. We'll
Speaker 2: have that one on the network for you. Pregame at
Speaker 2: seven o'clock and kick off a little after seven thirty.
Speaker 2: If you can't make it to the fraction, but I
Speaker 2: would ask and I will continue to ask between now
Speaker 2: and Tuesday, that if you got nothing going on, and
Speaker 2: even if you might and you can finish it early,
Speaker 2: or even if you finish it maybe a little after
Speaker 2: seven thirty, go to the fraction, go watch it Land
Speaker 2: United two in the last home match of the year,
Speaker 2: and you can continue to see the future building for
Speaker 2: it Land United too and for it Lant United as
Speaker 2: an organization. MESSI and friends too are coming to town
Speaker 2: and they are above atlant They are above at Land
Speaker 2: United two and the standings. So the twos can act
Speaker 2: the spoiler with the baby Heron's coming to town on
Speaker 2: Tuesday night of at the Fraction. So that's your task.
Speaker 2: If you're in that part of town, go watch and
Speaker 2: show your support for the twos for the last home
Speaker 2: match of the year. The last match of the season
Speaker 2: is the day after Philadelphia's home game against Atlanta United
Speaker 2: on the twenty eighth, twenty ninth, three o'clock in the
Speaker 2: afternoon in Chester Atlanta United two and Philadelphia Union two
Speaker 2: and that will be it for the regular season for
Speaker 2: Atlanta United two in twenty twenty four. A lot of
Speaker 2: things to talk about as we go, but last night,
Speaker 2: as we get through the stats that as we go
Speaker 2: through the stats that are available, the biggest stat that
Speaker 2: sticks out jad and Hibbert again literally stands on his
Speaker 2: head and it is just insane to see what Jadon
Speaker 2: Hibbert has been doing recently with Atlanta United Too. It's
Speaker 2: the only match last night in MLS next Pro the
Speaker 2: Crown Legacy won at five to three in penalties. Stats
Speaker 2: On the day, Jade and Hibbert had had twelve saves.
Speaker 2: Twelve saves for Jadan Hibbert. He had four in the
Speaker 2: first four minutes the first quarter of the match. Crown
Speaker 2: Legacy was in charge, but Jadan Hibbert was there answering
Speaker 2: every challenge and it was just insane. Jadon Hibbert once
Speaker 2: again continues to show the faith that was invested in
Speaker 2: him when it Landi United had their number one draft
Speaker 2: pick was the first round draft pick on Jaden Hibbert
Speaker 2: nineteenth overall in the last draft, and you're seeing has
Speaker 2: how he has continued to grow, how he's continued to evolve,
Speaker 2: and nothing's getting past him unless it's a penalty kick, situation,
Speaker 2: full extension, great Perry's great angles. They're all there. Last night,
Speaker 2: Jadan Hibbert had twelve saves and kept it Landy United
Speaker 2: in it in regulation. So it was another double digit
Speaker 2: saved night for Jadon Hibbert. You kind of run out
Speaker 2: of superlatives points for a guy like Jadan Hibbert, and
Speaker 2: it is crazy what we're seeing from jad and Hibbert
Speaker 2: and the level of investment that has been seeing a
Speaker 2: lot of credit. Steve Cook will be the first person
Speaker 2: to sit there and say a lot of credit goes
Speaker 2: to Lewis Sharp the keeper coach for the Tues and
Speaker 2: to be able to see Jadan Hibbert grow this season.
Speaker 2: And there were two things that I think you can
Speaker 2: earmark as elements of the continued growth of Jadan Hibbert.
Speaker 2: One the call it for international duty. Yes, I know
Speaker 2: that he wasn't getting any he wasn't getting any game
Speaker 2: reps because some guy named Andre Blake is ahead of
Speaker 2: him in the pecking order for the Jamaican national team,
Speaker 2: the senior national team. But it all seemed to turn
Speaker 2: and we'll catch up with our buddy Kaylor Hodges on Tuesday. Tuesday,
Speaker 2: Tuesday becomes the new time slot for our friends from
Speaker 2: the USL Show. And I think Kaylor is said that
Speaker 2: he can hide effectively in his school on a Tuesday
Speaker 2: morning and be on the show with us. But the
Speaker 2: loan spell that Jadon Hibbert had to Birmingham Legion, Birmingham
Speaker 2: had like zero goalies, and like I said, this is
Speaker 2: where we can talk to to Kaylor to refresh this story.
Speaker 2: On Tuesday, so Van Okel injured, Spangenberg injured and their
Speaker 2: third keeper was injured as well. Or they it's like
Speaker 2: there was something in there Spangenberg couldn't do anything Van
Speaker 2: Okeel was injured and their third keeper. I think there
Speaker 2: were issues there, but we'll have Kaylor go through the story.
Speaker 2: But Jaden Hibbert was called for a loan spell over
Speaker 2: to Birmingham. Legion goes over there, starts like four matches
Speaker 2: in a row, comes back and he seems like his
Speaker 2: aura is different. He's an entirely different dude, and he's
Speaker 2: taken that entirely different dudeness that he found when he
Speaker 2: was with Legion applies it with Ittland United too, and
Speaker 2: you're seeing the benefits of the results. So if for
Speaker 2: some reason, Jadan Hibbert is not first team and chasing
Speaker 2: after a first team spot next season, he better damn
Speaker 2: will Bee at goalie Wars at the very least one
Speaker 2: of the most highly touted keepers. I will say an
Speaker 2: MLS next Pro coming up at the end of this
Speaker 2: season and through heading into twenty twenty five. If he
Speaker 2: is not in a first team position next season within
Speaker 2: Atlanta United, which he should be, he should be in
Speaker 2: the discussion and it will be intriguing to see how
Speaker 2: Jaden Hibbert continues to grow. But jad and Hibbert last
Speaker 2: night twelve saves on. Let me get the numbers right,
Speaker 2: twelve saves on thirty shots. The numbers were adjusted after
Speaker 2: we went off the air last night, So thirty shots
Speaker 2: by Crown Legacy, thirteen on target, twelve saves for Jadan Hibbert,
Speaker 2: ten blocks for Crown Legacy last night, three for Atlanta
Speaker 2: United two. Four shots on target for the twos, but
Speaker 2: so four shots on target for the twos, ten blocks
Speaker 2: for Crown Legacy. To give you an idea as to
Speaker 2: how things were inside the eighteen for both of these teams.
Speaker 2: So for Crown Legacy thirty shots, thirteen shots on goal,
Speaker 2: ten blocks for Crown Legacy. Atlanta United Two had fifteen shots,
Speaker 2: four shots on target, three blocks. So Jadan and Hibbert
Speaker 2: came up big again last night. It seems like a
Speaker 2: sentence that we just can you pull out of the cupboard,
Speaker 2: sit there and plaster it and go. Jayde Hibbert came
Speaker 2: up big. We were able to see that again last night.
Speaker 2: Twelve saves for Jad and Hibbert, four for Chaturo Adunze
Speaker 2: and Crown Legacy gets the extra point in and they
Speaker 2: get the extra point in the shootout by winning it
Speaker 2: five to three. So that sets up the standings in
Speaker 2: the Eastern Conference, and I'll go through the standings here
Speaker 2: in the East and get everybody laid out here as
Speaker 2: to where things are, and we can continue to follow
Speaker 2: and you can also catch up on SDH and MLS
Speaker 2: Next Pro which will come out later this afternoon. SC
Speaker 2: Cincinnati two is in at forty eight points, Philadelphia Union
Speaker 2: two is at forty six.
Speaker 1: They each have three matches to go, two matches.
Speaker 2: For OCB, they're at forty three points, and like I said,
Speaker 2: here's the chaos that's going on, and we'd always talked
Speaker 2: about chaos in the Eastern Conference in MLS. Same for
Speaker 2: MLS Next Pro, except it's above the playoff part. OCB's
Speaker 2: at forty three points. Baby Herons are at forty two.
Speaker 2: Nycfc's at forty two with two less wins. Crew two
Speaker 2: is a ten wins and forty two points, and then
Speaker 2: Crown Legacy is at forty two points and ten wins
Speaker 2: two matches to go, So you have per game average
Speaker 2: of points. First off, Baby Herons have twelve wins, so
Speaker 2: that puts them at the top.
Speaker 1: Through the tiebreakers.
Speaker 2: Per match average of points equal for NYCFC Columbus because
Speaker 2: they each have three matches to go and they each
Speaker 2: have ten wins. NYC has a better goal difference at
Speaker 2: plus and they have five plus five in goal difference,
Speaker 2: and they've also scored two more goals, So n y
Speaker 2: CFC Columbus Crew two. Crown Legacy with two matches to go,
Speaker 2: has a worse per match points average to start with
Speaker 2: ten wins, and they also have less goals scored, and
Speaker 2: they also have a worse goal difference than the other
Speaker 2: two teams. So Crown Legacies in seventh with the win,
Speaker 2: with the shootout win, they're at forty two points fire
Speaker 2: or at forty one, and they are eighth. Had it
Speaker 2: Land United one out, they would have been at forty
Speaker 2: and that's what the target number. They could not have
Speaker 2: anybody north of forty points. But with the two points
Speaker 2: last night, Crown Legacy gets forty two. Chicago's at forty one.
Speaker 2: They hop scotch the forty point line. And that's why
Speaker 2: Atlanta United two's playoff hopes ended last night. Below the
Speaker 2: playoff bar, Chattan Nugafc's at thirty eight and Carolina Core
Speaker 2: is at thirty seven. So basically what you have from
Speaker 2: three to ten is team separated by two wins with
Speaker 2: three matches to go or two matches to go if
Speaker 2: you're OCB and Crown Legacy Toronto SC twos at thirty
Speaker 2: four points, Red Bulls two are at thirty three, at
Speaker 2: Landy United two is at thirty two points and Huntsville
Speaker 2: Cities at twenty six. New England Revolution two are at
Speaker 2: twenty one. So that's the Eastern Conference. But you will
Speaker 2: get everything in MLS Next Pro on SDH and MLS
Speaker 2: Next Pro that'll be out later this afternoon. You'll get
Speaker 2: the highlights of the chaos that happened with it Land
Speaker 2: United two and Huntsville City and other action around the
Speaker 2: league and will get you squared away for the weekend
Speaker 2: in MLS Next Pro. But the superlatives continue for Jaden
Speaker 2: Hibbert in this situation, and you can literally when Jarrett
Speaker 2: can come back on and we can discuss the twos
Speaker 2: more in depth. I mean literally, you can sit here
Speaker 2: and look at the growth of the academy players. You
Speaker 2: can see how players like Hobby Armis and Nocello or
Speaker 2: the and Creamtemini were the experienced anchors. Nick Fermino continuing
Speaker 2: to try to chase after a first team spot, but
Speaker 2: you got to see Aiden Torres, Aiden Torres away on
Speaker 2: international duty this go round. But to see Caden Moore,
Speaker 2: Aiden Torres, Matt Edwards, Jacob Williams, to see guys like
Speaker 2: Ethan Dudley and Ramsey Cowasmi come in because of injury
Speaker 2: and continue to contribute, Hobby Armist, Noble Achillo, Alan Carlton
Speaker 2: really came into his own this season. And Alan Carlton,
Speaker 2: Alan Carlton frustrated a lot of folks last night in
Speaker 2: the Other Jersey. And to see Alan Carlton continue to
Speaker 2: have a game evolve where he is putting folks in
Speaker 2: the spin cycle and frustrating defenders and those kinds of things.
Speaker 2: It's a fun watch to see Alan Carlton do things.
Speaker 2: To see Mattisca Jardo getting regular minutes, to see you know,
Speaker 2: what we saw last night out of a lot of
Speaker 2: folks and what we've seen all season long, frankly, with
Speaker 2: a lot of folks. Know, it's been it's been a fun.
Speaker 2: It's been a fun run to see the evolution of
Speaker 2: these players with Landy United two and you know, to
Speaker 2: have guys come in and contribute when they can, you know,
Speaker 2: you end up with like a a uh, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm Matthew de Janey, who could come in and give
Speaker 2: you a couple of games. You see a I mean
Speaker 2: the starting lineup last night, just to give you an idea,
Speaker 2: Jad and Hibbert, Dominic Chong Qui. Also in the last
Speaker 2: half of the season, d c Q coming into his
Speaker 2: own that left back for Lanty knighted too showing no fear.
Speaker 2: Uh So it was d c Q, Caden More, Ethan Dudley, Ramsey,
Speaker 2: cowasmy Eric Sentino really coming into his own defensively U
Speaker 2: disappointing that obviously he had an injury that kept him
Speaker 2: out of the last couple of matches, and you know,
Speaker 2: seeing how his game has continued to go. Noble Keller,
Speaker 2: Nick Fermino, Hove, Armas Gajarda to Mimi and Carlton last
Speaker 2: night the bench, Ashton Gordon, see Ashton Gordon continue to grow,
Speaker 2: Cooper Sanchez getting to grow. Uh you know, Stephen Hurlock
Speaker 2: putting in quality minutes when asked to and showing a
Speaker 2: lot of veteran savviot points when when he needs to
Speaker 2: in game state and then finding somebody like a Rodrigo
Speaker 2: Naery who came in and Narry jumping in into the
Speaker 2: middle of the fray getting the the points and the
Speaker 2: goals that he did at Huntsville and then trying to
Speaker 2: integrate and grow. Obviously there's a future there for Rodrigo
Speaker 2: Nery as well, So we'll keep an eye on all
Speaker 2: of that. But a lot of folks we got to
Speaker 2: see them continue to grow and head toward those next stages.
Speaker 2: But you look at a guy like literally, you look
Speaker 2: at a guy like Jad and Hibbert, and obviously it's
Speaker 2: it's a piece that you can sit there and gravitate
Speaker 2: toward for obvious reasons, but just unbelievable work that we
Speaker 2: saw once again from Jade and Hibbert. And I think,
Speaker 2: and like I said, and I think, I legitimately think
Speaker 2: that the that that loan spell in Birmingham flipped a switch.
Speaker 2: And I know that we use that term, you know,
Speaker 2: we use that term a lot when it's a I
Speaker 2: know it's a cloche alert and it's probably a dollar
Speaker 2: in the jar. But to see a guy like Jayden
Speaker 2: Hibbert hit those buttons and just hit that, you know,
Speaker 2: hit that next stage. And so where do you grow
Speaker 2: from here? Not where do you go from here? But
Speaker 2: where do you grow from here? For a lot of
Speaker 2: the guys that I just mentioned in a rapid fire form.
Speaker 2: You've got two matches here in the regular season. What
Speaker 2: do you do in those two matches? That, to me
Speaker 2: is another question. So and Steve Cook brought it up
Speaker 2: in the pregame show last night. You know, you've got
Speaker 2: these matches left in your season. But once again, you
Speaker 2: have veterans who might be playing for the veterans are
Speaker 2: playing for next season, whether it's in Atlanta, whether it's
Speaker 2: someplace else. You have the younger players who are trying
Speaker 2: to impress inside the Children's South Care of Atlanta training ground.
Speaker 2: So what are they going to be up to next year?
Speaker 2: Where are they going to be they can to continue
Speaker 2: their path inside this building or are they going to
Speaker 2: be looked at by other folks? So you have two
Speaker 2: matches to continue to make impressions here in the regular season.
Speaker 2: Once again, Tuesday night at the Fraction seven point thirty
Speaker 2: three kick, We'll have pregame show at seven o'clock here
Speaker 2: on the Network with Maddie and Jason as they carry
Speaker 2: you through the last home match of the year. If
Speaker 2: you can go, please go. I don't know how many
Speaker 2: times I'll be able to say that this morning, but
Speaker 2: I will say it today. I will say it on Monday.
Speaker 2: I will say it on Tuesday. If you can go,
Speaker 2: please go and check out the twos and show your
Speaker 2: support for the twos and what they are continuing and
Speaker 2: continuing to grow as we go here in a twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four it is after nine thirty on a Friday morning,
Speaker 2: and when they are not traveling the planet, when they
Speaker 2: are anchored in one location, when we can pin them down,
Speaker 2: when we can grab the comet by the proverbial tail,
Speaker 2: when we can hold out our hands with open fingers
Speaker 2: and find the rain drops and grab them and have
Speaker 2: them collect into our palms, and able to track down
Speaker 2: our friends from beyond goals entering. It's very very cool
Speaker 2: that we get to do that. And so that means
Speaker 2: that I get to roll a fancy open and bring
Speaker 2: in Great Garza here on a Friday. How are you,
Speaker 2: my friend?
Speaker 4: Good morning, Good morning?
Speaker 2: You're indoors this time?
Speaker 4: Where are I'm indoors? I was outdoors and it was
Speaker 4: it was too hot.
Speaker 2: So so was the sun directly shining upon the great cards?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 2: Yes, And so discretion being the better part of valor,
Speaker 2: you decided to come in and hang out with us
Speaker 2: this morning.
Speaker 4: And we get a little bit of air conditioning for sure.
Speaker 2: As always, we we appreciate that kind of stuff when
Speaker 2: you can take time out of your hyper busy schedule
Speaker 2: to come and hang out with us, whether it's doing
Speaker 2: stuff with Major League Soccer and and making sure that
Speaker 2: everyone's on the same page off the field when it
Speaker 2: comes to their teammates and everything.
Speaker 1: I want to do a couple of.
Speaker 2: Things because I kept your I kept your notes from
Speaker 2: last time, and I want I want to get into this,
Speaker 2: but I want to kind of I want to hold
Speaker 2: my breath for a second on that. Uh, since you
Speaker 2: spent some time with the national team, I want to
Speaker 2: go there. I want to talk about emin Atlanta United.
Speaker 2: So uh new coach, the national team and Mercia Pochettino.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: It appears that two hedge fund dudes helped out to
Speaker 2: make sure that they could pay what Pochettino was looking for.
Speaker 2: What do you think about Pochettino now being a part
Speaker 2: of things with the US Soccer.
Speaker 4: I like it. It's another I mean it's the biggest
Speaker 4: hire since Quinsman, right, so.
Speaker 1: A lot of look at it be bigger than that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, for sure, I mean, uh, you know you're looking
Speaker 4: at a coach who has maybe not had as much success,
Speaker 4: but somebody who is who is you know, very what's
Speaker 4: what's the right word for it, somebody who has I
Speaker 4: guess you could say a lot of potential on the rise,
Speaker 4: somebody who has a say, somebody who I feel like
Speaker 4: is really gonna put their foot down on a lot
Speaker 4: of different things. And so I think that in changing
Speaker 4: the mindset, and what all these players keep saying is
Speaker 4: we need somebody to come in and change the mindset.
Speaker 4: Need somebody to come in and change the mindset, need
Speaker 4: somebody to come in and change the mindset. This is
Speaker 4: what better person could you get in Argentinian? Right? All
Speaker 4: the success I had with in my careers was always
Speaker 4: with Argentinian coaches. And they don't play no games. So
Speaker 4: we'll see, we'll see. Uh, we'll see how that goes.
Speaker 2: They don't play no games. That's the direct quote.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, they're gonna they're gonna let you know
Speaker 2: what they think. They're gonna let you know what their
Speaker 2: expectations are. They're going to sit there and it's like,
Speaker 2: all right, you went. You might have been with me
Speaker 2: or someone you know who is of Argentinian descent. Uh,
Speaker 2: In a in a team situation. This is a national
Speaker 2: team situation. Capital in Capital t We ain't messing around here.
Speaker 2: That's the vibe that I'm getting from you.
Speaker 4: The yeah, don't argue with an Argentina. I'll just say
Speaker 4: that my coach, one of my my coach in t
Speaker 4: one I always put it. He said, Look in Argentina
Speaker 4: we had Diego, Mariandona uh huh lio MESSI thank god,
Speaker 4: that's those those are the three Argentinians that you need
Speaker 4: to uh they need to pay attention to it.
Speaker 2: And not in that order I imagine though, right.
Speaker 4: Oh no, no, not that wonder Yeah, yeah, probably in
Speaker 4: the order that I just gave it.
Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, yeah, I mean that's that.
Speaker 1: That is not a surprise.
Speaker 2: And the reason that I asked you first about men's
Speaker 2: national team goes to our notes from last time and
Speaker 2: and like I said, I wrote it down from two
Speaker 2: weeks ago go. And it has to do with a
Speaker 2: couple of things that you said, quote quoting Greg and
Speaker 2: the US we are too nice. We are too nice
Speaker 2: nationally as as Americans and possibly representing ourselves out on
Speaker 2: the field as a US national team or a US representative.
Speaker 2: So having an Argentinian as a coach, I would posit
Speaker 2: the idea that it might twist that being too nice
Speaker 2: to not necessarily needing to be too nice at least
Speaker 2: I would think that that would be the path that
Speaker 2: we're going down here.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think he'll for sure change the mindset of
Speaker 4: a lot of these guys. You know, it's you have
Speaker 4: the good old saying in Spanish you got to play
Speaker 4: with the with the knife between the teeth. That's what
Speaker 4: they say. That's definitely a saying that they kind of
Speaker 4: live by, and I'm sure that's something that he will implement.
Speaker 2: Can you can you translate that effectively without getting us
Speaker 2: into trouble?
Speaker 4: Yeah, knife knife between the tea. Yeah, yeah, I just
Speaker 4: I'm not gonna translate it. Uh. I Remember I just
Speaker 4: had a couple of coaches whenever I played in Mexico
Speaker 4: that you would just look over at the bench and
Speaker 4: they would just be like this, and you just kind
Speaker 4: of shake your head and be like, Okay, I know
Speaker 4: what to do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, how to be I gotta dial it up all
Speaker 1: of a sudden.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And that then that got into note number two
Speaker 2: and three from last time that you were here. Actually,
Speaker 2: since I'm left handed, I guess I should do that.
Speaker 2: The world of the ethical dilemma and being malicious without malice.
Speaker 4: Wow, that's a good one.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You like, hey, you you wrote it that, you said
Speaker 2: you talked about it, and it was towards the end
Speaker 2: of a segment, and I'm like, oh, I better write
Speaker 2: this down for next time. So yeah, uh, the idea
Speaker 2: of being malicious without malice and the idea of the
Speaker 2: ethical dilemma when it comes to the the ethical dilemma
Speaker 2: and having these kinds of discussions with your mentees, I
Speaker 2: guess at the surface level to start things off, do
Speaker 2: they understand the idea of having an ethical dilemma and
Speaker 2: trying to get pasted it out on the field.
Speaker 4: I'll give a great example. This This is this is
Speaker 4: using my own son, right, great example there was I
Speaker 4: remember there was a play probably about two years ago
Speaker 4: maybe two years ago, and he shot the ball went
Speaker 4: out for they were we were winning one zero, his
Speaker 4: team was winning one zero, and it is I think
Speaker 4: like the final final couple of minutes of the game, okay, right,
Speaker 4: And he shot the ball hit the posts and went
Speaker 4: out of balance, and he could have gone and got it,
Speaker 4: and I think he was about to go and get it,
Speaker 4: and he was about to give it to the goalie
Speaker 4: and I screamed, I said, leave it. Go back to
Speaker 4: your position and leave it. Let the goalie get it. Right,
Speaker 4: it's the last couple of minutes of the game. Let
Speaker 4: the goalie get it. It's their ball, don't get it.
Speaker 4: And I remember I had a parent from the other
Speaker 4: team scream, way to teach your kids' sportsmanship, And that,
Speaker 4: to me is just that's the maliciousness without malice. Because
Speaker 4: if you go to anywhere else in the world and
Speaker 4: watch soccer, these kids at five, six, seven, eight years old,
Speaker 4: if that ball goes out of balance and they're winning
Speaker 4: one zero, they're gonna fake stretch like they're doing a
Speaker 4: quad stretch, and they're going to let that ball roll
Speaker 4: right by. And that to me is just like, that
Speaker 4: is the thing that I think we need to teach
Speaker 4: Americans that you'll do anything to win.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 4: That's not that that to me is not evil, right,
Speaker 4: that's not evil. That has nothing to do with sportsmanship.
Speaker 4: In my opinion. That is finding the littlest smallest of
Speaker 4: details to try and win a game. And that's that's
Speaker 4: something that I think if we play, if you watch
Speaker 4: Cope America. Right, yeah, you watch Cope America that those
Speaker 4: guys are doing anything and everything they can to win. Now,
Speaker 4: are they cheating?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 4: Was that moment right there a teaching lesson to tell
Speaker 4: my son, Hey, that's cheating. No, because it's not cheating.
Speaker 4: It's their ball. Right, you don't have to be the
Speaker 4: kid that's going to take the ball. You're not losing.
Speaker 4: You don't have to get the ball and take it
Speaker 4: back and put it on the on the on the
Speaker 4: six yard box right to to you know, now, make
Speaker 4: play go by quicker.
Speaker 5: You're winning.
Speaker 4: Let the time go by slower or earlier. Let your
Speaker 4: you just take your time. It's like when a corner
Speaker 4: kid goes us as US as parents or US as
Speaker 4: coaches sometimes or as kids. You're winning the ball and
Speaker 4: the ball goes out for a corner kick and a kid,
Speaker 4: an American kid, every American kid that I watch, they
Speaker 4: will sprint over to get the ball and they'll put
Speaker 4: it on the corner and you're winning one zero and
Speaker 4: you have three minutes left. Well, I remember the second
Speaker 4: I moved to Brazil and that happened, I probably would
Speaker 4: have gotten taken out been the next sub because the
Speaker 4: coach would have said, Hey, the next time the ball
Speaker 4: goes out for a cornerkick and you're winning one to zero,
Speaker 4: I want you to walk as slow as you can, right.
Speaker 4: And that that is that to me is not malicious.
Speaker 4: That is that to me is right maliciousness without without malice, right.
Speaker 4: And I think those little nuances that I think that
Speaker 4: I think other cultures can teach us to understand. And
Speaker 4: I think that's that's probably a huge asset of Whattino
Speaker 4: will probably give these guys, right, even from even from
Speaker 4: a profession no level. I think it trickles. It trickles
Speaker 4: down right, and I think that, you know, I think
Speaker 4: that's a huge piece of it to to really you know,
Speaker 4: in my personal opinion, it is doing it. I heard
Speaker 4: I heard the saying the other day and it says,
Speaker 4: there is a winning mentality that most kids and most
Speaker 4: people have a winning mentality. And then beyond the winning
Speaker 4: mentality is the domination mentality. Okay, and it was talking
Speaker 4: about professional athletes having a domination mentality. You don't want
Speaker 4: to just win, you want to absolutely dominate. And that
Speaker 4: that is that is even if you're playing against right
Speaker 4: or you're competing with your teammates. Right, if I'm competing
Speaker 4: with my teammates or my old teammates and we're doing
Speaker 4: whatever the silliest of soccer tennis games, right, you're playing soccertonnists.
Speaker 4: I want to dominate my friend in soccer tennists, right.
Speaker 4: And I think that's just the that's the mentality that
Speaker 4: I think we need to bring within the national team
Speaker 4: to to just find a way to do anything, anything
Speaker 4: possible within their hands, without cheating, without being evil, but
Speaker 4: by winning. And I think that's that's a huge that's
Speaker 4: a huge step that I think, I personally think, but
Speaker 4: your Tina will bring will bring to the.
Speaker 2: Team because I would posit that there is a difference
Speaker 2: between sportsmanship and gamesmanship and be and and being at
Speaker 2: the front of soccer etiquette and you know, being prim
Speaker 2: and proper and you know, like, yes, you know we
Speaker 2: have to we have to do things this way because
Speaker 2: they've done it this way for five centuries and you
Speaker 2: know we have. Yeah, but there's there's there's a difference
Speaker 2: between sportsmanship, gamesmanship and being and being a dominant individual
Speaker 2: out there. And I think that you can you can
Speaker 2: integrate two or three of those at the same two
Speaker 2: of three of those at the same time. You can
Speaker 2: be dominant and you can have gamesmanship. You can be
Speaker 2: dominant and have sportsmanship. You can be uh, you can
Speaker 2: have gamesmanship and still have sportsmanship. So I think you
Speaker 2: can take two of those three at any given time
Speaker 2: and still be as highly successful as you feel like
Speaker 2: you need to be.
Speaker 4: And I think there are moments, even when I watch
Speaker 4: you soccer that I just give another example of even
Speaker 4: that of watching kids. There that you might be winning
Speaker 4: two to one and there's a counter attack for the
Speaker 4: other team, and in your mind you have these parents
Speaker 4: or you have your coach telling you don't foul. Right, Well,
Speaker 4: mine is it's okay to foul. There's a kind of
Speaker 4: professional foul. Pull jersey. Pull a jersey from behind right,
Speaker 4: stop the counter attack, and and you know, if you
Speaker 4: need to receive a yellow, you receive a yellow. It's okay,
Speaker 4: it's a warning. A yellow card is a warning, right,
Speaker 4: just don't do it again. Right, But you've taken a
Speaker 4: foul for you've taken something for the team, and that's
Speaker 4: that that's you're not being evil in that moment. You're
Speaker 4: not coming from behind and absolutely swiping some kid from
Speaker 4: his feet and just kicking him as hard as you can. Know,
Speaker 4: you're creating a professional foul to try and give an
Speaker 4: advantage for your team to hopefully That's why I say
Speaker 4: you're doing anything and everything you can to win, and
Speaker 4: that that that is something that I think if I
Speaker 4: were to go to Spain or Brazil or any other
Speaker 4: place in the in the sorry, in the world, in
Speaker 4: the United States pretty much pretty pretty much, but uh,
Speaker 4: you don't. You don't. You see it quite often there, right,
Speaker 4: You see these kids already having because I think they
Speaker 4: watch so much they watched there there there. It's so
Speaker 4: it's so they're so used to seeing those things within
Speaker 4: the within the game that they watch, and we don't.
Speaker 4: We don't have that, right, we don't. We don't have
Speaker 4: that within us. For them. It's it's you know, it
Speaker 4: embodies their culture of doing anything and everything to win,
Speaker 4: even from a very young age.
Speaker 2: You're reading my notes because the word I was going
Speaker 2: to use was cultural, and it seems like it is
Speaker 2: a cultural thing in the you know, in the United
Speaker 2: States that regardless of what we're talking about here, we
Speaker 2: have to be the ones that play by the rule book.
Speaker 2: We have to be the ones that stand the straightest
Speaker 2: and sit there and point at the rule book and go, well,
Speaker 2: these are the rules of engagement that you know, and
Speaker 2: these are the rules that are written therefore, these are
Speaker 2: the rules that are that they are. And like I said,
Speaker 2: I think we could be talking sports, we could be
Speaker 2: talking yeah, you know, business or whatever, but these are
Speaker 2: the rules, and these are the rules that we have
Speaker 2: to abide by, as you know, the guy in the
Speaker 2: white hat. But culturally, I think that and it's easy
Speaker 2: to see from what you mentioned with all of the
Speaker 2: all of the countries, that all of that have the
Speaker 2: all the different leagues that are out there now that
Speaker 2: we can watch that we have access to, that it's
Speaker 2: not one of those situations where you have to wear
Speaker 2: the white hat all the time. There's nothing wrong with
Speaker 2: the good guy who's got that little streak of wearing
Speaker 2: the dark stripe every once in a while. There's nothing
Speaker 2: wrong with that if you are chasing after an achievement
Speaker 2: and other other folks are doing it. But you've got to,
Speaker 2: you know, we have to be too nice. We've got
Speaker 2: to be the white hat all the time. It seems
Speaker 2: like it's a cultural thing.
Speaker 4: I spoke to him and Tea yesterday a girl and
Speaker 4: I told her, look, this weekend, I want you to
Speaker 4: play a chip on your shoulder with chip with with
Speaker 4: a chip on your shoulder, but also be compassionate. Right,
Speaker 4: you can be both. You can still play with a
Speaker 4: chip on your shoulder and you can know that you
Speaker 4: are right the bomb, but you can still be compassionate
Speaker 4: and you can still be compassionate towards your teammates and
Speaker 4: be a great leader. But you know, give me the ball,
Speaker 4: I'll resolve it. Right, give me the ball, I'll take
Speaker 4: care of this. And I think that's that's that's the
Speaker 4: mentality that I think a lot I want a lot
Speaker 4: of these kids to to take to they can take
Speaker 4: on that responsibility and sometimes put that pressure on their
Speaker 4: shoulders because it holds them accountable to a certain extent,
Speaker 4: but it helps them mature and it helps them grow
Speaker 4: in a certain way. And so I like, I like
Speaker 4: putting that pressure on kids sometimes because I feel like
Speaker 4: in their minds and we always talk about this sometimes
Speaker 4: with kids, and just I use the younger generations because
Speaker 4: I think from a soccer perspective, we are still so
Speaker 4: far away from this is my personal opinion, from winning
Speaker 4: a World Cup. We're so far away, but because I
Speaker 4: think those are little, those are still like the little
Speaker 4: nuances and the little things that I think we need
Speaker 4: to it needs to start from a very young age
Speaker 4: to start to start teaching these things. That that is.
Speaker 4: And I guess you know, the word, the word will
Speaker 4: always come back to hunger, right, And I think that's
Speaker 4: that that that to me is I think something that
Speaker 4: you see in other cultures. You see in other places
Speaker 4: there is a hunger, There is a hunger from the
Speaker 4: very good go and I just don't see that with
Speaker 4: soccer yet. I see it with other sports within the States,
Speaker 4: but not with soccer yet. And I think once we
Speaker 4: develop that hunger, I think that that things will change.
Speaker 2: Well, I would then I would sit there and say
Speaker 2: that probably because those sports were here first, and they've
Speaker 2: been here longer that you have that those mentalities attached
Speaker 2: to those sports, And the longer that soccer is here,
Speaker 2: the more it becomes ingrained, the more that it becomes
Speaker 2: a part of the fabric of what we see on
Speaker 2: a daily basis, then that idea will continue to rise
Speaker 2: and be a part of things in soccer. I would
Speaker 2: I would venture to guess that that would be the case.
Speaker 4: I would assume. So I think that's you know, if
Speaker 4: you speak to kids who travel the world or go
Speaker 4: play soccer at other places, although they might not be
Speaker 4: playing at a higher level than the other places, but
Speaker 4: when every time they come back, I'll always ask them,
Speaker 4: you know, all these kids that go to you know,
Speaker 4: Europe or South America during the summer, and I'll always
Speaker 4: ask them, what's what's the biggest difference? We loved it. It
Speaker 4: was so great. Man. Those kids they want it more
Speaker 4: than anything. And my question is, well, why don't Why
Speaker 4: don't you want it more than anything? You have to
Speaker 4: want any more? You can do this. You can have
Speaker 4: the same mentality just in a different environment, in a
Speaker 4: different location, and it's okay to have that mentality. And so,
Speaker 4: you know, I think that's that's a that's a massive
Speaker 4: lesson for all of us. And just going back to
Speaker 4: our national team head coach, I think that is that
Speaker 4: is the mindset that he will try. I don't know
Speaker 4: if he will be successful, but that he will try
Speaker 4: and strive to implement within within the team that we.
Speaker 5: Have right now.
Speaker 2: How hard is it to pull the want two gene
Speaker 2: out of a ment.
Speaker 4: The want two gene of just like wanting it more
Speaker 4: than anything.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Basically it's a it's a there's a Southern expression.
Speaker 1: It's about the want to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it's uh, you know, it's like, well, you know,
Speaker 2: you see someone who is allegedly not performing to what
Speaker 2: adults have as a standard for a you know, for
Speaker 2: a teenager, that the want to isn't there, you know,
Speaker 2: So how did it to pull the want two out
Speaker 2: of a mentee?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 4: I always always try and like pick their brains a
Speaker 4: bit and and and get them to understand. You know,
Speaker 4: obviously the game is very mental, right it is. I
Speaker 4: always tell kids, I think it's one hundred percent mental.
Speaker 4: But it can only be one hundred percent mental if
Speaker 4: you if you also have heart, right, and if your
Speaker 4: heart's not in it and that grit and like you said,
Speaker 4: that one that desire, that will, that love, that passion,
Speaker 4: then the brain is most likely not going to be
Speaker 4: in it. So before before your mental game can play
Speaker 4: a massive piece, there has to be heart. And so
Speaker 4: I think that's a that's a huge component. That's a
Speaker 4: huge that's a huge way that I try and explain
Speaker 4: to kids the best way possible for them to understand
Speaker 4: that but I I can't. I can't teach that. Yeah, right,
Speaker 4: I can teach them things to use as self talk.
Speaker 4: I can teach them things to and in ways to
Speaker 4: be a great leader. I can teach them ways and
Speaker 4: and and understanding that life is not fair. I can't heart.
Speaker 4: That's something I can't teach. That's something I can talk about.
Speaker 4: But like I always tell them, and we've talked before
Speaker 4: about the bamboo tree, right, I can only plant to
Speaker 4: see you know the rest. The rest is up to
Speaker 4: them to water each and every day. That's that's that grit,
Speaker 4: that's that heart that you have behind it.
Speaker 2: When you see as a mentor, the the bamboo tree grow.
Speaker 2: When you get to see as a mentor, you get
Speaker 2: to see that want to come out, You get to
Speaker 2: see the heart.
Speaker 1: You get to see the.
Speaker 2: Gota come out from a mentee that you've been trying
Speaker 2: to sit there and and you know, just have a
Speaker 2: conversation where it's like, hey, you know if it's there,
Speaker 2: I know it's there. When you get to see all
Speaker 2: of that come out of a mentee, what does that
Speaker 2: mean to you?
Speaker 1: And Parky?
Speaker 2: When you get to see something like that happen.
Speaker 4: It's it's it's great because you in my in my
Speaker 4: personal opinion, it is knowing that, right, ninety nine percent
Speaker 4: of that kid's future is not going to be in
Speaker 4: professional soccer and so nine nine point nine, right. But
Speaker 4: it's it's it's it's coming to an understanding that whatever
Speaker 4: that kid does, he or she will have that mentality
Speaker 4: to tackle their tasks ahead of them, right, to want
Speaker 4: to accomplish those tasks that they haven't ahead of them.
Speaker 4: And that's that's the biggest message. That's the biggest message
Speaker 4: in wanting them to understand that if they have college ahead,
Speaker 4: if they have entrepreneurship ahead, if they have a managing
Speaker 4: position ahead, if they have an industrial worker ahead, it
Speaker 4: doesn't matter whatever they become, that they will have tasks
Speaker 4: ahead of them each and every day. And I know
Speaker 4: in that moment, whatever this kid does, he or she
Speaker 4: is going to going to be able to accomplish those
Speaker 4: those tasks, those given tasks. And that's that's the most
Speaker 4: gratified anything for us, I think, and seeing that and
Speaker 4: noticing that, and also just helping them understand, uh, you know,
Speaker 4: the challenges that will come along with it, and I
Speaker 4: think that's that's an interesting piece of it.
Speaker 2: As well hanging out with twitterless Greg Gars here on
Speaker 2: the Friday Free Kick here on the SDH network on
Speaker 2: the morning show before you came on, I was talking
Speaker 2: about it. Landy United too, and last night they lose
Speaker 2: in a penalty kick shootout. The way the score, the
Speaker 2: way the points are allotted in MLSX Pro is three
Speaker 2: points for a win, one point for a draw, and
Speaker 2: if you win in penalties after the fact, you get
Speaker 2: an extra point.
Speaker 4: Okay, every every game, Every game goes into penalties.
Speaker 2: Every game, if no, if it's drawn, If it's drawn
Speaker 2: after ninety minutes, then.
Speaker 1: It goes into pks.
Speaker 2: If it's if it's decided in ninety minutes, it's three
Speaker 2: points to the winner. If it's a draw after ninety
Speaker 2: mon if each team gets a point, but then you
Speaker 2: go to penalties and the winner in penalties gets an
Speaker 2: extra point for winch they call it a shootout.
Speaker 1: Wink.
Speaker 2: Atlanta United too three matches to go in the regular season.
Speaker 2: Last night, they go to Charlotte to take on Charlotte
Speaker 2: FC's MLS Next Pro team. They don't win in regulation
Speaker 2: and they end up losing in penalties, and so they
Speaker 2: needed to win their last three and get some tiebreakers
Speaker 2: to get into the postseason. So regular season is it
Speaker 2: for Atlanta United too? But what I wanted to discuss
Speaker 2: with you before we go is Okay, So there are
Speaker 2: still two matches left in their regular season, and there
Speaker 2: are still things that those players, whomever Steve Cook chooses
Speaker 2: to be a part of the game day eighteens and
Speaker 2: then the elevens on Tuesday, and then on the twenty ninth.
Speaker 2: The season isn't over, even though in wins and losses
Speaker 2: and a postseason it's over when you still have things
Speaker 2: to show with only a handful of games left, when
Speaker 2: there is no postseason for you to right. So then
Speaker 2: how difficult is that to keep keep the light switch
Speaker 2: on so you can continue to show Hey, I'm improving,
Speaker 2: Hey I deserve to hang around here, or I'm you know,
Speaker 2: I'm basically I'm playing for my job in these last
Speaker 2: two man, And that's that's the big thing here. How
Speaker 2: do you impress upon mentees and other individuals and peers
Speaker 2: around you, Hey, just because something a task down the
Speaker 2: line is not attainable, doesn't mean that you should just
Speaker 2: stop doing what you're doing.
Speaker 4: The message I would give every single one of those
Speaker 4: kids is that your season is over, right, But don't
Speaker 4: let your career be over, because maybe these last two
Speaker 4: games are the determining factor of your soccer career, because
Speaker 4: that's how quickly it can change, That's how quickly it
Speaker 4: can go, and the snap of a finger in two games.
Speaker 4: Your career can be over in two games. So that
Speaker 4: that would be the message that that would give. It's
Speaker 4: it's totally up to them. Yeah, is there's season over. Yeah,
Speaker 4: but you know it's it's up to you personally if
Speaker 4: you want your career to be over. And so if
Speaker 4: you're switched on and you can continue to show within
Speaker 4: two games and kind of be those your trial moments,
Speaker 4: how are you going to prepare yourself for those trials?
Speaker 4: How are you going to try and perform within those
Speaker 4: trials to continue to have a livelihood to have a job.
Speaker 4: I think that's that's extremely important. Now. I know a
Speaker 4: lot of those kids I believe are with two's and
Speaker 4: I think there a lot of them might already be
Speaker 4: committed to colleges, right.
Speaker 2: So there a handful a handful of kids.
Speaker 4: So I mean for them, for those kids, I think
Speaker 4: it's more so just getting minutes under their belt and
Speaker 4: maybe that experience to prepare them for what's next. But
Speaker 4: if there are a few players on that team that
Speaker 4: that you know have have the opportunity to continue to
Speaker 4: whether it be play for lay and I had two,
Speaker 4: or go somewhere else within MLS, next pro then or
Speaker 4: even USL or another MLS team, then these these are
Speaker 4: your These are your footage moments and clip moments to
Speaker 4: start compiling, and you have two games to do it.
Speaker 4: So you're creating the opportunity for yourself.
Speaker 2: All right as you fight the lawnmowers and the handyman
Speaker 2: that are doing all the work outside with the leaf
Speaker 2: blowers today, and it sounds like you're fighting grass allergies.
Speaker 1: Uh that with everything.

Speaker 4: it's killing me. I feel like I'm talking out of
Speaker 4: my nose.
Speaker 1: Well it is.
Speaker 2: It is a very nice base nasally, Greg guards are
Speaker 2: hanging out with us this morning. I know that you're

Speaker 2: that are off and running.

Speaker 2: it says Washington, It's Washington Sentinels and it's got the
Speaker 2: Sentinels logo right there.
Speaker 1: Best football movie ever.
Speaker 2: And oh wow, that reminds me, Oh, this is okay,
Speaker 2: this is really gonna yeah. Speaking of which, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: put my head set down for a second unrelated to
Speaker 2: the situation. But now that Bart brought it up, all right,
Speaker 2: So remember the tight end.
Speaker 1: In the movie.
Speaker 2: And like I said, if you haven't seen the movie,
Speaker 2: I would recommend it and see the unetited version. He
Speaker 2: went to Gallia Debt. No, lie, this popped up in
Speaker 2: my mail the other day, Galiadebt Home of the Huddle.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: So I have Gaaluadet football gears a part of my stacks.
Speaker 2: By the way, Gallaudet football they got approval for the
Speaker 2: OSG Sports College Football X and for the review, which
Speaker 2: is on the OSG Sports side of things. By the way,
Speaker 2: it's on the other it's on the other network here,
Speaker 2: the other channel here in the network. They got approval
Speaker 2: for that that ocular technology, but they couldn't install it
Speaker 2: in all three football helmets because the first the the
Speaker 2: first string and the second string qbs were injured and
Speaker 2: they were in those helmets. They couldn't install it in
Speaker 2: the third string quarterbacks helmet in time for last week.
Speaker 2: But they have that technology that we saw in the
Speaker 2: AT and t AD where they can go tablet to
Speaker 2: eyepiece and signal in the plays.
Speaker 1: Very very cool, very cool.
Speaker 2: David said, Uh, thought of that the other day with
Speaker 2: the NFL QB not throwing a pass because his center
Speaker 2: threw up on it. Yeah, I think it was Malik Willis. Yeah, look, Jumbo,
Speaker 2: you don't have raw eggs before you get you before
Speaker 2: you play. But they were doing something together in the huddle.
Speaker 2: They were huddling and moving from one hashmark to the other. Yeah,
Speaker 2: go watch the replacements. Was it brook Langton? Yeah, Brook Langton,
Speaker 2: very very cool. He's making out with the cheerleaders. What
Speaker 2: are they gonna do pat fire him. Absolutely, very very cool. Okay,
Speaker 2: anyway on that tangent, and that means now I gotta
Speaker 2: write this down before I forget. Uh, Jimmy McGinty drops.
Speaker 2: Jimmy McGinty drops. Okay, all right, Jarrett's here our number
Speaker 2: two weekend with around patent pending trademark coming center hopefully
Speaker 2: rather than later. I got lost, and I blame Bart
Speaker 2: for this, Jarrett. We went down the replacements rabbit hole
Speaker 2: after Greg Garza came in and left us at ten o'clock.
Speaker 2: So we were talking about the the idea that American
Speaker 2: soccer players are too nice with Greg and then now
Speaker 2: with Poachatino in and just being too nice and all
Speaker 2: that kind of stuff, and so Bart drops a Jimmy
Speaker 2: McGinty reference, and so I go down the replacements rabbit
Speaker 2: hole for a couple of minutes. So you haven't you
Speaker 2: haven't missed a whole lot other than I actually fixed
Speaker 2: the problem this.
Speaker 5: Week, like a technical problem.
Speaker 2: Yes, do tell the first seven minutes of the show
Speaker 2: were like the Nixon tapes.
Speaker 1: And I couldn't figure out why.
Speaker 2: It's like, you know, it's like there was silence, and uh,
Speaker 2: I was wondering why there was silence, and everybody else
Speaker 2: was not surprised there was silence, but there was silence
Speaker 2: on the show. I mean, all of the effects and
Speaker 2: everything and all the drops were fine, but no one
Speaker 2: could hear me talk. And some folks actually thought that
Speaker 2: was an improvement. But I felt compelled to troubleshoot the
Speaker 2: whole thing, and I actually troubleshooted what was wrong. I
Speaker 2: don't know how I went down this particular road. It
Speaker 2: was seven minutes of silence instead of seven seconds, but yeah,
Speaker 2: it was seven minutes of silence, and I got it
Speaker 2: figured out. So the wrong input was cued on the
Speaker 2: stream yard audio because of Mixler from last night, and
Speaker 2: so Mixler took over everything and it didn't reset itself.
Speaker 5: Well, so so I'm like going back through the I'm
Speaker 5: going through the sedimentary rock that is the chat and
Speaker 5: then finding like you know, Bart mentioning it. Apparently I
Speaker 5: missed the first hour.
Speaker 2: You missed the black goverment got yellow cards the first
Speaker 2: forty five minutes.
Speaker 5: Actually, yeah, well, I yes, yellow cards aren't bad in
Speaker 5: the sense that we talked about earlier this week. I
Speaker 5: would love to someone gott a yellow card with Sam
Speaker 5: Surge tried to kill a Pedro Amador, which good thing
Speaker 5: he did because Pedro Abador was low key player of
Speaker 5: the game Wednesday night.
Speaker 1: Yep, that's true.
Speaker 5: Mm hmmm, yeah, don't the occasional yellow cards. Okay, it's
Speaker 5: just knowing how to manage the game before and after
Speaker 5: you get those yellow cards. Yes, sometimes sometimes you gotta
Speaker 5: light somebody up mm hmmm yeah, and just remind him
Speaker 5: about what's going on.
Speaker 2: Uh So, opening kickoff this morning was the twos and
Speaker 2: reminding everybody that the home finale is Tuesday. They needed
Speaker 2: to win out and get some tiebreakers in their behalf
Speaker 2: to get into the postseason. Is the eight seed go
Speaker 2: to Crown Legacy last night traditionally a tough place to
Speaker 2: play up at Matthews Golastraw after ninety going into the shootout,
Speaker 2: losing the shootout get one point when they needed three.
Speaker 2: So so two matches left for Atlanta United two in
Speaker 2: their twenty twenty four season. But last night, once again
Speaker 2: we got to see Jade and Hibbert go absolutely upside
Speaker 2: down otherwise known as a regular day at the office
Speaker 2: for Jadon Hibbert with twelve saves on the night.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I am I've been vocal about this, so we
Speaker 5: can continue to be vocal about this. For me, like
Speaker 5: if you want to give people a potentially a potential take,
Speaker 5: so to speak, Jad and Hibbert is coming sooner rather
Speaker 5: than later for that starting job with the first team.
Speaker 5: That doesn't mean he's gonna like come out of the
Speaker 5: gates and start twenty twenty five preseason as the number one.
Speaker 5: But that boy is special. I think his distribution can
Speaker 5: still improve, but his shot stopping is great. He probably,
Speaker 5: he'll he'll tell you probably he should have saved one
Speaker 5: or two of those penalties and shootout he guessed correctly
Speaker 5: on him and just sometimes sometimes the bear gets you. Yeah,
Speaker 5: he's been fantastic in the shootout. He's been fantastic shot stopper,
Speaker 5: incredibly quick and athletic. Just legs are made of springs. Yeah, man,
Speaker 5: Jadan Hibbert is. Jadan Hibbert is a nice piece because look,
Speaker 5: you thought you had a plan, and you did have
Speaker 5: a plan when you had a Sentadaeas and Justin Garcis
Speaker 5: Garcius had gone to UCLA, he'd come back. You had
Speaker 5: him as a homegrown Garcius just unable to stay healthy
Speaker 5: and his contract runs out, but he just We've talked
Speaker 5: about it before. It's hard to stayd on the roster
Speaker 5: when you're on the training table. And Garcus was a
Speaker 5: good kid. He just could not stay on the field.
Speaker 5: Knee injuries kept popping up for him, and then the
Speaker 5: Centiis gets the offer to go to Norwich and takes
Speaker 5: it and is doing pretty well last check. You'd love
Speaker 5: for him to have stayed here because I think he
Speaker 5: was catching up and passing Garsis, especially with the injuries.
Speaker 5: But he gets that offer to go to England. It's
Speaker 5: hard to tell a kid, no, don't go to England
Speaker 5: to play. Stay here and play on the second team
Speaker 5: and then work your way into becoming the first team guy.
Speaker 5: And there he's got. He got money to go to
Speaker 5: Norwich like it's gonna happen. But when you lost that guy,
Speaker 5: you have other academy goalkeepers coming. But having Hibbert coming
Speaker 5: out of school, he got him signed. He got him
Speaker 5: playing with the twos immediately, you got him getting minutes.
Speaker 5: It was a good job of We had a plan.
Speaker 5: That plan didn't finish up because of some things injuries
Speaker 5: and transfers to we didn't necessarily expect. But then you
Speaker 5: adjusted the plan. You went and got Hibbert in the draft,
Speaker 5: who has been very good. The MLS draft is still
Speaker 5: a crap shoot in the same sense that I am. Look,
Speaker 5: I I'm happy to have anyone sectioned off for mental
Speaker 5: study if their philosophy is, well, just tank the rest
Speaker 5: of the year and get a high draftic.
Speaker 1: It doesn't work that way, and no does.
Speaker 5: It doesn't work that way, Like this isn't. This isn't
Speaker 5: the NBA where you've got like a life changing player
Speaker 5: waiting for you at the one to one. It's not.
Speaker 5: You can find talent there. Orlando has been suspiciously good
Speaker 5: at finding talent. Not to say they're bad, not to
Speaker 5: say it's like shady, but like they they've been like
Speaker 5: they've been hitting blackjack repeatedly. And some teams care about
Speaker 5: the draft, and some teams don't. I think Philadelphia, like
Speaker 5: one year, traded all their picks. Is there academy does
Speaker 5: the job for them. But that's I think that's a
Speaker 5: good situation where the draft can't exist, is that you
Speaker 5: can go get a supplemental piece, and in this case,
Speaker 5: it was a project goalkeeper. Obviously, again Hibber got a
Speaker 5: little nervous early on. Yeah, it's like I say he's
Speaker 5: not he's not a finished product. I'm not saying he
Speaker 5: needs to start with the first team right now, but
Speaker 5: he feels that that spot that you wanted for talent.
Speaker 5: Down the line, you have more goalkeepers coming as well.
Speaker 5: I don't know what Gooz's offseason plan is, but you
Speaker 5: still have Hit, you still have Josh Cohen as well.
Speaker 5: In the fold. I think Hibbert is going to be
Speaker 5: uh pushing every one in that organization though, going through
Speaker 5: twenty twenty five and then you, I mean for the twos,
Speaker 5: this is this is a not up time for the
Speaker 5: twos because yeah, it did did the same thing last year.
Speaker 5: By the end of the season, you start getting more
Speaker 5: and more time together, training, results start turning positive, but
Speaker 5: by then it's too late. It's kind of a deja
Speaker 5: vusi situation. But now you've got some of the like
Speaker 5: a lot of the guys you signed, a lot of
Speaker 5: them were on one year deals who were not academy
Speaker 5: guys and not from the inside. They're playing for their futures.
Speaker 5: You know, they're playing for whatever tomorrow may bring. So
Speaker 5: we'll see how that goes. We'll see who's fighting for
Speaker 5: minutes for now and for next year, because some of
Speaker 5: your guys who were with the second team will be
Speaker 5: in preseason training with the first team with a chance
Speaker 5: to show something. Hobby Armis with a chance to show something.
Speaker 5: Alan Carlton, who is blossomed in twenty twenty four, with
Speaker 5: a chance to really show something. Man like Luke Brennan.
Speaker 5: I thought we would see a lot more of Luke
Speaker 5: Brennan with the second team this year, but because of
Speaker 5: injuries and quality, he's been getting a lot of ride
Speaker 5: run with the first team on the bench. Unfortunately, that
Speaker 5: hasn't produced minutes for him, and I think in a
Speaker 5: different world, I would like to have seen him get
Speaker 5: more minutes with the second team just to get on
Speaker 5: the field. But I'm glad he has earned spots on
Speaker 5: the bench with the second team or with the first team.
Speaker 5: Excuse me, but you know, I want to see Luke
Speaker 5: take those next steps. So there's there's other guys, you know,
Speaker 5: Eric Sinteno trying to figure out, you know, where is
Speaker 5: Eric Senttenno going to be next year? The generation Didas
Speaker 5: deal I think runs out this year. You're koreeing to
Speaker 5: Mimi's trying to make a life for himself. Narry came
Speaker 5: in and was absolutely wonderful. And that's you know, a
Speaker 5: guy who was highly thought of coming out of Valencia's
Speaker 5: academy with a chance to to kind of, you know,
Speaker 5: take a flyer on him and see what he can do.
Speaker 5: So there's still questions to answer. With these last two games,
Speaker 5: guys will be playing for contracts and guys will be
Speaker 5: playing for pride. No, you gotta make it stand up though,
Speaker 5: but because it's gonna be two tough games.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is uh baby Heron's coming Tuesday night
Speaker 2: to the Fraction and then on the twenty ninth in
Speaker 2: Chester taking on Philadelphia Union too, and it could be
Speaker 2: a big game for them as their chase, saying FC
Speaker 2: Cincinnati two and trying to determine who's going to be
Speaker 2: the one, who's going to be the two, what seedings
Speaker 2: are going to look like. And yeah, just to remem
Speaker 2: just to remind folks, Fermino's contract is up at the
Speaker 2: end of the season, Efra's contract is the there's a
Speaker 2: decision to be made for ef for New Year's Eve,
Speaker 2: and a decision to be made on Tyler Wolf as well.
Speaker 2: And then you start to get into the twenty fives,
Speaker 2: a decision to be made on Jay Fortune. That has
Speaker 2: evolved into a no brainer of a decision involving Jay Fortune, but.
Speaker 5: Better better hope, So yeah, that would be a no
Speaker 5: brainer decision.
Speaker 2: Gazan Dax, Jamal Rios on the loan, Ronald nick Efra,
Speaker 2: Tyler j. Those are the contracts that end or have
Speaker 2: decisions on New Year's Eve.
Speaker 5: Tyler. I don't think is I don't my my gut
Speaker 5: instinct as that Tyler is not part of the project
Speaker 5: going forward. He just hasn't been able to make it
Speaker 5: work consistently, Like the second half of last season would
Speaker 5: phenomenal from him. It hasn't carried over into twenty twenty four. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and you've got other homegrowns coming. You know, You've got
Speaker 5: Luke coming. Ashton Gordon, who is going to play more
Speaker 5: on the wing. Is not really a nine per se
Speaker 5: as players get bigger and faster and stronger like he is.
Speaker 5: He's a winger. You've got him.
Speaker 2: You've got Luke, Mattacos Uh Cayden.
Speaker 5: Moore, Aiden Torres Man. Aiden Torres is another guy that
Speaker 5: if somebody had lit up, if you had been on
Speaker 5: the field, Nomador got lit up. Aiden Torres, Yeah, Aiden
Speaker 5: Torres Aiden Torres Aiden Torres is absolutely about that life.
Speaker 5: They're like, you know, I think possibly a little more
Speaker 5: than like ephra Is. We're like Effy will If if
Speaker 5: you want to go, Effor will go like you name
Speaker 5: the time in the place you drop the pin, he'll.
Speaker 2: Show he's got calm the ball in him. So I
Speaker 2: mean you get that.
Speaker 5: Yeah. Uh. Bart's point, Tyler could be a very good
Speaker 5: use us L C player. I think so too. I
Speaker 5: wouldn't be surprised if he ends up being like a
Speaker 5: Tristan Trager because Tristan Trager played here with the twos,
Speaker 5: was really good in their last year in USL. I
Speaker 5: remember after the Birmingham game here like Kayler Hodges walking
Speaker 5: up and just like the hell did that kid come from?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, he came from the military academy. He just
Speaker 5: took him a while to get over here because he
Speaker 5: was getting out of the Air Force. Tristan Trager was great,
Speaker 5: goes to goes to Charleston when Peerman takes over and
Speaker 5: just lights it up. Now I believe is it really
Speaker 5: good USL player? I think Tyler can be that. Can
Speaker 5: Tyler be more entirely possible? I think he's shown in flashes.
Speaker 5: He can be, but it's about consistency at that level.
Speaker 5: I think his floor is a USC player for sure. Yeah,
Speaker 5: I think somebody would take a chance on him higher
Speaker 5: up the barge point about and need Winger depth and
Speaker 5: the other young gins have been unproven. Yeah, and so
Speaker 5: I wanted to see more of Luke this year. That
Speaker 5: was one of the reasons why, because Luke has shown
Speaker 5: you some guts and some fight and is clever on
Speaker 5: the ball, and he has all the makings of it.
Speaker 5: But I need him getting more game time with live
Speaker 5: ammunition at an MLS level. Most Get Up, Must Get
Speaker 5: Up was actually really good the other night. Most Guetta
Speaker 5: thing is just maddening inconsistency. Yeah, I think Winger is
Speaker 5: gonna be like I'm still you're gonna have two DP
Speaker 5: spots to play with. I'd love to see you go
Speaker 5: spend a bunch of money on a left wing or
Speaker 5: however you want to do that you want to get
Speaker 5: really weird. You could just go get a right winger,
Speaker 5: or go get another ten and play Montu on the
Speaker 5: right wing and Saba on the left wing and then
Speaker 5: flip them around as you see fit to invert them
Speaker 5: of the mononchup as a right winger, as an inverted
Speaker 5: right winger, just feels very dangerous all the time because
Speaker 5: of that left foot. You can always just get weird.
Speaker 5: Go get another ten, I mean, and then and then
Speaker 5: another and then go get a striker. But however you
Speaker 5: want to split that money up? You do, you guys,
Speaker 5: But yeah, I think you're Yeah, winger is someplace you've
Speaker 5: got to figure out. Is there any Oh, Uncle, is
Speaker 5: there an expansion draft this year?
Speaker 1: San Diego?
Speaker 5: Oh, thank you, thank you. That's why I pay you
Speaker 5: the big bucks. Uncle. Who do you leave exposed? That's
Speaker 5: a good question. And Abby, I don't know if Mousqutta
Speaker 5: stays like past his contract. I like Mosketta for what
Speaker 5: he is, but he is also wildly consistent. Yes, he's
Speaker 5: incredibly fast. There's been moments where like when he's on
Speaker 5: one and you're like, oh, he's just dribbling people and
Speaker 5: running past them. But it's not consistent enough right for me.
Speaker 5: I thought he was go after the end of twenty three.
Speaker 5: I thought he's gonna slot into a guy who only
Speaker 5: starts like five ten games a year. But it's coming.
Speaker 5: What was one of your first names off the bench
Speaker 5: because he can run it tired people in the seventieth minute,
Speaker 5: and it's kind of an asshole move to be Oh
Speaker 5: you're tired. Ah, here's Edwin.
Speaker 1: Yes exactly, man.
Speaker 5: I'd have to look at the whole. Uh, Quentin's probably gone.
Speaker 5: I think Quinton might be done done.
Speaker 2: Yeah, if he's in concussion protocol or whatever.
Speaker 5: The and Quinton might be like Quentin's getting up there
Speaker 5: in age too.
Speaker 2: Oh and for public record, the second highest number of
Speaker 2: matches played for me an chook other than attacking midfielder
Speaker 2: has been right wing mm hmm, two hundred and thirty
Speaker 2: three appearances. Is an attacking midfielder right winger sixty matches.
Speaker 5: Yeah, you invert him on the right wing and plane
Speaker 5: as a left floated right winger who can cut in.
Speaker 5: You would end up doing the same Asava on the
Speaker 5: other side and then kind of let people move around
Speaker 5: as they see fit on the field. I'd have to
Speaker 5: look at the whole. Rosters. Who you leave unprotected? Tristan, yes, yes,
Speaker 5: but yeah, Tristan a brom for sure. I think a
Speaker 5: Brom for sure is one who you leave unprotected. You
Speaker 5: want one that's off the board, and this is not
Speaker 5: a person A personal opinion on their quality is I
Speaker 5: think they get too much hate Brooks. I don't know
Speaker 5: if you protect Brooks, I was gonna say Nick, well, Nick,
Speaker 5: Knick's out of contract, SEANDAI would be unprotected. So Jamal's
Speaker 5: got to come. Jamal Well, No, Jamal's got an option.
Speaker 5: Maybe you pick up the options and then some of
Speaker 5: those guys you leave unprotected. So like Jamal is one
Speaker 5: of those, I'm a say, like, yeah, there's there's a
Speaker 5: lot you can go here. And I agree, Brooks has
Speaker 5: value and I like Brooks, but you gotta you can
Speaker 5: only protect so many guys, and you gotta be strategic
Speaker 5: about this. This is like, it's kind of be kind
Speaker 5: of tricky.
Speaker 2: You've got your twenty five. By the way, Quenton is
Speaker 2: thirty eight. Yeah, Quenton Westbrook is Quentin Westbrook is thirty eight,
Speaker 2: and he's also a twenty five. Shande's a twenty five,
Speaker 2: Luis is a twenty five, Brooks is the twenty five,
Speaker 2: Tristan's a twenty six. Edwin with loans, et cetera is
Speaker 2: a twenty six. And that puts you through with all
Speaker 2: the names that we've been discussing.
Speaker 1: So I mean there's there.
Speaker 2: There are some folks unless you and you know, unless
Speaker 2: you want to just be like, well, tell you what,
Speaker 2: here's some am if you leave us alone or something
Speaker 2: like that. So there are there are some names out
Speaker 2: there that that you can look at if you're mikey
Speaker 2: Verus in San Diego, San Diego, and look at what
Speaker 2: you're into.
Speaker 5: Into your point, John, that is a thing that has
Speaker 5: happened before. Like there, you will get protection deals like
Speaker 5: that leaves.
Speaker 1: That sounds leave us alone. Here's some am.
Speaker 5: Yeah, there there have been that's been, It's happened in
Speaker 5: the league before where you make that deal you, Hey,
Speaker 5: here's some am. Here's a trade. You're not going to
Speaker 5: touch any of our players.
Speaker 1: Yeah cool, cool, we're good.
Speaker 5: Or you can do like Atlanta did in their expansion
Speaker 5: draft where they traded for Clint Irwin and then basically
Speaker 5: held in rants Toronto.
Speaker 2: Yeah you mean Atlanta United Hero Clint Irwin, legacy legacy
Speaker 2: retiree clintor one. Absolutely No, I'm you know hero Clint
Speaker 2: e one for Atlanta United. So no, it's uh, there
Speaker 2: there will be some interesting decisions. But also if you
Speaker 2: know that, but there will be some teams that will
Speaker 2: do the here's some am leave us alone bit with
Speaker 2: mikey Verus in San Diego.
Speaker 5: So I don't even know if Brooks would be gone
Speaker 5: after this year. It's an interesting question for sure. But
Speaker 5: and I like Brooks. I would like Brooks to stay.
Speaker 5: I think he gets I I think he gets too
Speaker 5: much hate, and I think he's an easy target for
Speaker 5: a lot of hate. Yeah, but I like what Brooks
Speaker 5: gives you at times. I want to see more of
Speaker 5: what he tried to do Wednesday night where he plays
Speaker 5: that where he plays that that that cutback ball instead
Speaker 5: of like trying to whip that ball to the post
Speaker 5: right you know. He you have the one that's kind
Speaker 5: of weird where he tries to play the cut back
Speaker 5: I forget who it was from Miami blocks it and
Speaker 5: it kind of stumbles over it and tumbles through like
Speaker 5: a drunken mole. I want more of that from Brooks,
Speaker 5: especially as you have more talent in the midfield and
Speaker 5: more gold dangerous players in the middle. I want more
Speaker 5: of that cutback ball, Like if it's Jamal or Daniel
Speaker 5: up top, yeah, you're gonna take that shot because both
Speaker 5: of them are incredibly good in the air. Both of
Speaker 5: them are very big and powerful, but I liked the
Speaker 5: idea of that cutback ball even though it gets cut out.
Speaker 5: And look, Miami did a really good job of like
Speaker 5: throwing themselves in front of stuff. I think they only
Speaker 5: registered like two or three block shots, but they blocked
Speaker 5: I can think off the top of my head like
Speaker 5: three or four passes that they threw themselves in the
Speaker 5: way of. And just like Stanley Cup in the playoffs,
Speaker 5: throw your body in the way of the puck level,
Speaker 5: putting themselves out there to stop what would have been
Speaker 5: a key pass that might have set up the pass
Speaker 5: for the shot or would have set up the shot.
Speaker 5: They don't get registered as a blocked shot in the
Speaker 5: same way, but for me, those kind of plays have
Speaker 5: a similar importance and credit to Miami for like look,
Speaker 5: man's one of my issues with like the Nashville game
Speaker 5: where Atlanta just kind of didn't show up. Miami's gonna
Speaker 5: lock up supporters shield possibly, Yeah, and they were throwing
Speaker 5: their bodies around in a midweek game like they were
Speaker 5: like they were fighting for a playoff spot. Now, credit
Speaker 5: Atlanta fought Wednesday night. Wasn't always pretty. It was kind
Speaker 5: of stop and start, but they fought, but they needed
Speaker 5: they need to show that every night out. That's tough.
Speaker 5: That's why you pay your money to do it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and Saba got a goal on Sally's birthday and
Speaker 2: so that's always a good thing too. So, uh, you know,
Speaker 2: times inside the Lobe Geneza household. And we'll get into
Speaker 2: weekend whip around now since we're pushing ten thirty, and
Speaker 2: get into all of the other matches. Basically, what we'll
Speaker 2: do is we'll play Cliffhanger. Obviously, we'll save the discussion
Speaker 2: for at Land United and Red Bulls to the last,
Speaker 2: but rolling through all of the other games, like you said,
Speaker 2: we talked about we talked about them and got the
Speaker 2: early juice box look with Nico yesterday. But let's get
Speaker 2: into all of the other matches. And like I said, uh,
Speaker 2: you know, what was it? What is it til today?
Speaker 2: I learned? But it was like was it last week? That?
Speaker 1: The reason that it do you.
Speaker 5: Have John hanging out on Reddit learning learning random and
Speaker 5: out random abbreviations is absolutely terrifying, go on, carry.
Speaker 2: On interesting, Well, just the idea of was it til today?
Speaker 2: I learned that when the juice box pervey or sit
Speaker 2: there and always listed it Land United first in a
Speaker 2: situation like what happened in the midweek. Is because Atlanta
Speaker 2: starts with the letter A. They are they are the
Speaker 2: first alphabetical home team. It has no bearing on a
Speaker 2: start time or a popular opinion. Uh yeah, til yeah,
Speaker 2: til the juice box purveyors put it Land United as
Speaker 2: a home team first because they start with the letter A,
Speaker 2: not because they think they're real important or anything. Uh
Speaker 2: if you have the same start times for two o'clock.
Speaker 2: And this is the interesting part of all of this
Speaker 2: involving Messian Friends. So Messian Friends did not go home
Speaker 2: after the match in the midweek. They stayed here. I
Speaker 2: believe they worked out at the Children of Self Care
Speaker 2: of Atlanta training ground. Then they flew they're flying up today,
Speaker 2: I think, or they flew up last night and they're
Speaker 2: going to Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 1: They are now favored.
Speaker 2: On the road against NYC at a plus one at
Speaker 2: a plus one thirty eight.
Speaker 5: Well, NYC also got their skulls caved in by Philly
Speaker 5: over the weekend.
Speaker 2: And so NYC is a plus one sixty two at
Speaker 2: home and Messi and Friends are a plus one thirty
Speaker 2: eight on the road at a two o'clock kick at
Speaker 2: Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 1: What say you, Jared Smith? Do you care?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 1: Well, then we'll keep going.
Speaker 5: Like messian friends go and just do Messian friends.
Speaker 1: Ish.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And so we do have ref assignments, will go
Speaker 2: over those as well. Oh boy, yes, looking for specific
Speaker 2: individuals to keep an eye on. Charlotte who is doing
Speaker 2: the Oscar pereja slow fade only winning.
Speaker 5: I'll go, I don't. I don't think that's fair to Oscar.
Speaker 5: I don't think Oscar ever faded as hard as Charlotte has. Ye,
Speaker 5: Charlotte has like one win since July in all competitions. Like,
Speaker 5: let me tell you about the problems in Charlotte, for
Speaker 5: they for they are plentiful. Charlotte was like Charlotte was cooking.
Speaker 5: Early in the season, they weren't scoring consistently. Aujimong is
Speaker 5: basically a physic.
Speaker 1: A gold weapon, freaking redwood dude.
Speaker 5: I love him, tall people stand up, but he hasn't
Speaker 5: scored enough, and they as a unit have not scored enough,
Speaker 5: which is hey, I'll bet that's why they wanted to
Speaker 5: go get a number ten at the deadline and tried
Speaker 5: like three different routes and then the one they got
Speaker 5: is kind of like a it's kind of like a uh.
Speaker 5: I mean, we'll take a waiver on this guy and
Speaker 5: take a flyer on the sky and just see what
Speaker 5: we can make happen. But buddy, uh huh yeah, they
Speaker 5: they they've gone from being a team that defends really
Speaker 5: well but can't score to a team that is now like, uh,
Speaker 5: defending only okay and can't score consistently. Yeah, buddy, Charlotte
Speaker 5: is on the fade. And yes, uh yeah, Bart, I
Speaker 5: like Brooks do for me, it's it's here's the here's
Speaker 5: the I understand that the x ah quotion is the
Speaker 5: x H scale. You want to get weird. By the way, Uh,
Speaker 5: there's a certain uh, there's a certain right wing right
Speaker 5: full back who plays in Houston, who used to play
Speaker 5: in Atlanta, who is a free agent in the off season.
Speaker 5: If you want somebody to come in and who who
Speaker 5: absolutely has that dog in them almost to a destructive
Speaker 5: degree in uh, a certain Franco Escobar playoff. Fronco is
Speaker 5: a free agent in the off season. Also, I think
Speaker 5: my thing with Brooks is the fact that like, because
Speaker 5: because we just gets talked about, I think I don't
Speaker 5: know if it gets talked about enough when we talk
Speaker 5: about the expansion draft, I realize I'm derailing us here,
Speaker 5: was it?
Speaker 1: Care that.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you put guys on the expansion draft knowing that
Speaker 5: you like you're you leave guys unprotected. No that whoever
Speaker 5: like the club coming in is not going to want
Speaker 5: to pay, is not going to want to pay the money.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, like La, he's probably gonna put Vela
Speaker 2: on the expansion list.
Speaker 5: Yeah, And I don't I'm not sure what Brooks makes,
Speaker 5: but I wouldn't be surprised if, like you put Brooks
Speaker 5: on the on the like you might. I don't know.
Speaker 5: That depends on how much he's making. But maybe you
Speaker 5: leave him unprotected if he's making a certain amount, because
Speaker 5: you're like, well, they're going to feel like they can
Speaker 5: go get right back maybe for less money, and that's
Speaker 5: not the investment they want to.
Speaker 1: Make, right, that kind of thing.
Speaker 5: Sometimes you leave guys unprotected who are making a ton
Speaker 5: of money, you know, because it might it might not
Speaker 5: be the contract that someone's willing to pay. It could
Speaker 5: be kind a tricky anyway.
Speaker 2: Yes, to answer your question, Brooks Lennon. According to the
Speaker 2: MLSPA release, YES seven guarantee that's what his number is,
Speaker 2: seven hundred and forty thousand dollars.
Speaker 5: Yeah, like would San Diego? San Diego is gonna be
Speaker 5: any unque situation because, as you know, expansion teams do
Speaker 5: have more money to play with. Would they want to
Speaker 5: pay seven hundred and forty thousand They'll have extra money
Speaker 5: to play with? Yeah, would they be willing to spend
Speaker 5: that money? That remains to be seen.
Speaker 1: Yes.

Speaker 5: Yeah, and call it whatever I mean. I'm not even
Speaker 5: considering Suarez either personally, Like there's there's better There have
Speaker 5: been better players liked Ongo absolutely doing the Loure's work
Speaker 5: year over in Salt Lake. There are better options than
Speaker 5: MESSI who, Yes, he's messy. I understand his name. Carri's cache.
Speaker 5: He's also missed chunk of the season. And I got
Speaker 5: guys who are balling out in this league who have
Speaker 5: for my money, have earned it. Yep, So he's down
Speaker 5: on my list.
Speaker 1: Yes. Also at the ten forties Lag hosting Vancouver at
Speaker 1: minus one twenty five, Vancouver's a plus two ninety one.
Speaker 1: I probably would once again take the total in that situation.
Speaker 5: Yeah, probably, and.
Speaker 1: See if you can find, say a three and a
Speaker 1: half or four and a half.
Speaker 5: Vancouver's fun Galaxy might be the best team in the West.
Speaker 5: They're more fun.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: And last Saturday game on the board, San Jose is
Speaker 2: hosting All Caps. San Jose is a slight face at
Speaker 2: home at a plus one forty three. All Caps are
Speaker 2: a plus one fifty six on the road. The one
Speaker 2: game on Sunday is Philly in d C. Philly is

Speaker 2: you're you're a gentleman, Christian vineke the Belgian breadloaf at
Speaker 2: a plus plus seventy one and draws a plus three
Speaker 2: oh five. I'm thinking that there might be some skulls
Speaker 2: cracked in that one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and d C DC at a plus two seventy one.
Speaker 2: Shoot, man, that might be worth some That might be
Speaker 2: worth some juice box consideration, or even the plus three
Speaker 2: oh five on the draw.
Speaker 1: Yeah, especially on the quick turn.
Speaker 5: We'll see. Yeah, well, well we'll.
Speaker 4: Just have to see you man, Yes we were, ye yes.
Speaker 5: Uh San Jose, Still it's gonna always be weird. Well
Speaker 5: yeah for amen.
Speaker 1: Yes' is that? Yes? All right?
Speaker 2: So at Lant and Red Bulls, last game on the
Speaker 2: board because I pulled it to the bottom of the page,
Speaker 2: and uh it is seven forty. Start Mike and Jason
Speaker 2: your pregame show at six thirty and kick at seven
Speaker 2: forty with Red Bulls and Atlanta United. Red Bulls on
Speaker 2: the minus side of a minus one forty three draw
Speaker 2: is a plus three to zero eight. Atlanta United is
Speaker 2: a plus three point fifty one in the composite courtesy
Speaker 2: of our friends at Odds Portal looking at totals, just
Speaker 2: to kind of put that out there, minus five thirty
Speaker 2: for one and a half two and a half a
Speaker 2: minus one fifty five three and a half is well.
Speaker 2: Technically three is where it flips to a plus one
Speaker 2: oh six. Three and a half is a plus one
Speaker 2: fifty nine. The under at three and a half is
Speaker 2: a minus two oh seven.
Speaker 5: It's been a house of horrors for Atlanta, has been
Speaker 5: for years. I am inclined to think.
Speaker 2: That, uh, oh crap, what happened Abby's question? And I
Speaker 2: have the answer. Oh, Tim Ford close Penso.
Speaker 5: We'll see. We'll see how much that matters.
Speaker 1: And so in the medal.
Speaker 2: Jeffrey Schwartz, Ol Brian Done, Guido Gonzalez Junior is your fourth,
Speaker 2: Carol Ane Schnard is your VA R.
Speaker 1: Mike camp Minor is your A V A R. Uh.
Speaker 5: We'll see, We'll see how much it matters. Like Penco
Speaker 5: just has a quick trigger. Tim Ford is objectively bad.
Speaker 5: It has been objectively bad at his job in big moments.
Speaker 5: I think Penso is not as much of a He's
Speaker 5: not a good ref I just think he he just
Speaker 5: he pulled the trigger really quickly.
Speaker 1: Sometimes a little anxious.
Speaker 5: You've got to you gotta be up for it, and
Speaker 5: there's no reason not to be. Yeah, you do. You've
Speaker 5: got to. You gotta be up for just the beatdown
Speaker 5: that this game will be. Physically, it's gonna be demanding.
Speaker 5: It's going to not gonna be fun to watch, probably,
Speaker 5: it's not gonna be fun to play in, probably, but
Speaker 5: you got to find a way to get something out
Speaker 5: of it. Last year, you got your ass feed up there. Yeah,
Speaker 5: and you're gonna get chances you have to take them.
Speaker 5: Red Bulls are kind of weird in the sense that
Speaker 5: so so I say Red Bulls are kind of weird
Speaker 5: because early in the season Red Bulls looked like they
Speaker 5: were out there turning over a new leaf. Meil Forsburg
Speaker 5: like changed so much about them. They haven't been good
Speaker 5: since emil Forsberg got hurt. Correct, like, straight up have
Speaker 5: not been good. You know, what can they do about it?
Speaker 5: You know, how can what what can they what can
Speaker 5: they show you? We'll find out They've kind of I've
Speaker 5: always had Atlanta's number. Remember Atlanta has two career wins
Speaker 5: against Red bulls. One of them was the funniest of
Speaker 5: all time in the playoffs. Another one was last year
Speaker 5: at home, where it felt like you just did an
Speaker 5: Indiana Jones level like jump across the snake pits and
Speaker 5: make it, make it work kind of thing. Why did
Speaker 5: it have to be snakes? So, I don't know, man,
Speaker 5: we'll see. I'm you need God blessed Saba for Saba's
Speaker 5: ability to just run until he's gonna die. You're going
Speaker 5: to need You're gonna need You're gonna need that from
Speaker 5: Saba on short rest. But you're also going to need
Speaker 5: Saba to be like super dangerous Saba. Like you're also
Speaker 5: gonna need Saba to be the guy who can make
Speaker 5: a difference in the game. That's gonna be tough. We'll see,
Speaker 5: We'll see you need him to be that kind of
Speaker 5: guy who shows up and is capable of putting up
Speaker 5: a brace. Yeah we could just try winning the game.
Speaker 5: They could.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 5: See, it's just it's it's always it's always gonna be ugly.
Speaker 5: You know what you're getting into. So I don't know, Man,
Speaker 5: don't be surprised, don't don't don't sit here and give
Speaker 5: me the like I guess, don't give me the you know,
Speaker 5: the surprise Peaka you mean of like it's a street fight,
Speaker 5: but it's always been a street fight. They're a different
Speaker 5: team without Amil Forceberg. You're a different team with Manantruck,
Speaker 5: especially the first goal. It's out of a system. Settle in,
Speaker 5: go do some stuff, kids, and yeah, go go fight.
Speaker 5: Like my complaint for the last calendar week, about almost
Speaker 5: the last calendar week, about your lack of fight, it's
Speaker 5: got to kind of matter now because now you're playing
Speaker 5: a team that is going to try and fight you. You
Speaker 5: should go fight them now.
Speaker 2: Yes, So that is that's what you're staring at once again.
Speaker 2: Pregame show is six thirty, kickoff seven forty, and it'll
Speaker 2: be a full hour of the full time report after
Speaker 2: the fact as they all head to Harrison, New Jersey,
Speaker 2: and hopefully any of you who go, any seventeens who go,
Speaker 2: will have better luck finding an uber than the Boss
Speaker 2: and I did when we went up last Oh that
Speaker 2: was hilarious.
Speaker 5: I mean it's hilarious because you didn't die, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, especially when you had that car coming right at
Speaker 2: me as I'm in the back seat and mister McGoo
Speaker 2: is driving us onto the freeway, trying to get us
Speaker 2: back home, and there's this car screaming right at me
Speaker 2: at like ninety miles an hour as he's taking twelve
Speaker 2: miles an hour to turn the left to get onto
Speaker 2: the freeway.
Speaker 1: I was fantastic Morning.

Speaker 2: it is Matt Thompson is your fourth. Kevin Terry Junior
Speaker 2: is your va R. Resindo Mendosa Wait a second, He's
Speaker 2: the How is that possible? How is that physically possible?
Speaker 2: So Rosendo Mendosa is listed by PRO as the fourth
Speaker 2: at Sporting and Minnesota United at eight thirty. He's also
Speaker 2: the man in the middle for Colorado and Toronto at
Speaker 2: nine thirty. I'm good job, PRO, I'm his rescind them
Speaker 2: and us have been able to do some gene splicing,
Speaker 2: jean splicing.
Speaker 1: And atoms splitting. Do we know of this? Do we know?
Speaker 1: Do we know?
Speaker 5: In?
Speaker 2: Is pro dealing in multiplicity?
Speaker 5: Now you've got the multiverse unlocked. Resinda Mendoza is the
Speaker 5: anchor being for our universe, which is wild to think about.
Speaker 2: So he's the fourth in Kansas City at eight thirty,
Speaker 2: but the man in the middle for nine thirty at
Speaker 2: Children's Healthcare. The Dicks at Dick Sporting gets park at
Speaker 2: nine thirty, So what does he leave?
Speaker 1: Does he leave it like.
Speaker 2: The twenty minute mark can hop the flight and get
Speaker 2: a going out there and hang out with the prairie dogs.
Speaker 2: I want to know how this is handled. David got
Speaker 2: my multiplicity reference. How do you have Rassindo Mendoza as
Speaker 2: you're fourth in Kansas City and then an hour later
Speaker 2: he's the man in the middle with the prairie dogs
Speaker 2: in Commerce City, Colorado. How do you make this happen?
Speaker 2: And which one of these universes is correct?
Speaker 1: Damn Son.
Speaker 5: I still like to think I still operate under the
Speaker 5: assumption we've been living in different universes since they fired
Speaker 5: up a large Hadron collider.
Speaker 2: Oh Man, well that I said. I am just reading
Speaker 2: what pro has on their website. I don't know what
Speaker 2: the adjustments are. I don't know if there have been
Speaker 2: adjustments or if they have in fact, Gene spliced Rosindo Mendoza.
Speaker 2: And now going forward, if we look at Rossindo Mendosa's
Speaker 2: performances as both a fourth and a center, ref which
Speaker 2: one Rossindo Mendosa.
Speaker 1: Are we which.
Speaker 2: Rossendo Mendoza did we get in the midweek? Which one
Speaker 2: or the weekend last time he was here? Where is
Speaker 2: that Rosendo Mendoza. Is he going to be the one
Speaker 2: in Kansas City or is he going to be the
Speaker 2: one with the prairie dogs in Commerce City, Colorado?
Speaker 1: I have questions.
Speaker 5: I'm just asking, Yeah, someone typing correctly. But we're gonna
Speaker 5: have fun with it because it's pro.
Speaker 1: Yes.
Speaker 2: RSL and Portland Tory Penso is in the middle. Oh cool,
Speaker 2: Tory Penso, Brooke Mayo, Catherine Nesbit your ref and your
Speaker 2: ars dig it Drew Fisher is your fourth. David Berry,
Speaker 2: Oh well, Tory Penzo has to put up with David
Speaker 2: Berry as your VAR, so that hopefully there will not
Speaker 2: be any interesting moments that Tory Penso and David Berry
Speaker 2: have a disagreement. La and Vancouver, Jayra Marufo in the middle,
Speaker 2: and Remy Tushan is your fourth. Sore In Steutschka is
Speaker 2: your var, and San Jose and all caps. Ricardo Montero
Speaker 2: is the man in the middle. Nick Uranga is your
Speaker 2: air number two. Alan Chapman is your fourth. Caroline Shanard
Speaker 2: is your var. Philip Duyitch gets the Saturday Sunday Tree.
Speaker 2: He gets to go to Subaru Park and he's the
Speaker 2: man in the middle for Philly and DC. Unice Marakchi
Speaker 2: is your v R with Joshua pat Lack is your
Speaker 2: a v ar. So that's uh, that's that's your rundown
Speaker 2: of who is who and where is who? When it
Speaker 2: comes to the folks in the middle that are carrying
Speaker 2: flags and whistles and and have ear pieces so they
Speaker 2: can converse with one another. Four Card says we're living
Speaker 2: between two timelines.
Speaker 5: It's fine by me.
Speaker 2: So look, as long as the timeline agrees with what
Speaker 2: we're trying to do, then I'm cool with everything.
Speaker 5: That's never really going to be up for success.
Speaker 1: So we'll see.
Speaker 2: Hey, uh you know, bite your tongue all right, says
Speaker 2: time to say hi to everybody, especially during the uh,
Speaker 2: the time where I was silent, and it was probably
Speaker 2: an improvement to the show. Just ask folks. Morning Brandon,
Speaker 2: Morning alex Morning Michael. Let's see Morning Abby, and let's
Speaker 2: see continuing mornings with alex Is and Brandon. And let's
Speaker 2: see who else is here now that I've that's when

Speaker 2: when the IT department is somebody other than me, and
Speaker 2: that's definitely the problem. Morning bart uh And then Bart,

Speaker 2: with folks that are up and around news this morning
Speaker 2: as we get you ready for the weekend. Vincent Company,
Speaker 2: who is coaching a team that is having to play
Speaker 2: a lot of games because they're really good. Vincent Company
Speaker 2: is saying that there should be a cap on the
Speaker 2: number of matches players should be available to play. Cap
Speaker 2: the number of games a player can play to reduce
Speaker 2: the workload. From our friends at Ajons France Press, Bayern,
Speaker 2: Munich Coach, Vincent Company and as Bayer Levercus encounterpart Shabi
Speaker 2: Alonzo said today they joined the growing chorus calling for
Speaker 2: action on player workload amid talks of strikes. Companies said
Speaker 2: a cap should be introduced on the amount of games
Speaker 2: a player can play each year. A lot Zo said
Speaker 2: players must have greater involvement in decisions about the fixture calendar.
Speaker 2: Concerned about the load on players has grown in recent years.
Speaker 2: This year's Champions League adds fixed years, while fIF has expanded.
Speaker 2: Club World Cup will take place this summer, a time
Speaker 2: when players would normally have a break from games. We've
Speaker 2: got Club World Cup news coming up in just a bit.
Speaker 2: Top clubs with European and Domestic Cup commitments could play
Speaker 2: up to seventy five matches this year. At a press
Speaker 2: conference ahead of his trip to Verde, Bremen Company said
Speaker 2: it was already a theme during his career playing career
Speaker 2: labeled it an important topic. To play seventy five or
Speaker 2: eighty games, it gets to a point where it's not
Speaker 2: realistic anymore. Solution I've always wanted is to put a
Speaker 2: cap on the amount of games a player can play
Speaker 2: as an individual. Put a cap, put a compulsory period
Speaker 2: of holidays for players. Rodri who went third person in
Speaker 2: his press conference discussing it, so it's a dollar in
Speaker 2: the jar, said, it's the general opinion of the players
Speaker 2: is that they are close to a strike. Alison Tibou
Speaker 2: courtois lever Cues and so yeah, Allison, Kurtwis and Rodrie
Speaker 2: all saying that they're close before lever cusan host Wolfsburg.
Speaker 2: Shabi Alonzo said, I understand Rodery and the other players.
Speaker 2: Professional players must be involved in these decisions because we
Speaker 2: want to see good football schedules, very tight. They have
Speaker 2: to be heard. So Vincent Company is proposing a cap
Speaker 2: on the amount of matches that a player should play.
Speaker 2: Company promised squad rotations in the coming weeks as he
Speaker 2: manages midwek football commitments. And so the goalie was subbed
Speaker 2: off that halftime in the nine to two win over
Speaker 2: Dinomo Zagreb after flying on his after Manuel Noyer fell
Speaker 2: on his back. So that's what you're also getting into
Speaker 2: if you are Vincent Company. But a cap on the
Speaker 2: number of matches a player plays in any given year Jared.
Speaker 2: So that's players are threatening strikes. Folks are sitting there going,
Speaker 2: you know, maybe we should just put.
Speaker 1: A cap on things.
Speaker 5: Maybe.
Speaker 2: I think, what was it rodri who said fifty to
Speaker 2: sixty somewhere in there that forty to fifty I think
Speaker 2: he said.
Speaker 1: Was peak.
Speaker 2: And then that's, uh, that's what he's thinking. So uh
Speaker 2: what I would say, Yeah, forty to fifty somewhere in there,
Speaker 2: because I mean, even if you think about what a
Speaker 2: full schedule and let's just say a full schedule Major
Speaker 2: League soccers thirty four, then you got what.
Speaker 5: It's thirty six to thirty eight in some places. But
Speaker 5: then you've got multiple Cups, international games. It gets really
Speaker 5: complicated very quickly. It's very busy, very it gets north
Speaker 5: of you're north of fifty. That's that's the bottom line here. Yeah,
Speaker 5: you are north of fifty games here. Yeah, I mean no, no,
Speaker 5: in you're in Europe too, well, ye, you start making
Speaker 5: Cup runs, you get north of fifty games real quick.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So if you are in the in the prem.
Speaker 5: Maybe that's why Chelsea put one hundred and ten people
Speaker 5: on their roster for real.
Speaker 2: So you've got thirty eight in the prem You've got
Speaker 2: FA Cup, which could mean another say six, You've got
Speaker 2: Gummy Bear Cup, which could be another three or four
Speaker 2: because they bring you in late. So that's forty that's
Speaker 2: forty six. Then you have your other competitions and so
Speaker 2: now you have eight available to you if you're really
Speaker 2: good and you're now in this Swiss system of the
Speaker 2: Champions League, and so that would give you, say eighteen
Speaker 2: and thirty eight is fifty six. Club World Cup. God
Speaker 2: knows how many matches you'd be playing. They're probably four
Speaker 2: or five, so that gets you north of sixty. So yeah,
Speaker 2: you're picking up numbers really really quick. And it is
Speaker 2: all over the place when it comes to the number
Speaker 2: of matches, and you know, the players are like, well,
Speaker 2: you know, we'd like to be consulted with this kind
Speaker 2: of thing, but apparently that ain't gonna happen anytime soon.
Speaker 5: No, it's not it's not things.
Speaker 1: Yes, Club World Cup.
Speaker 2: I mentioned the Club World Cup, and apparently because of
Speaker 2: the lack of TV interest, the lack of rights holders
Speaker 2: wanting to sit there and go well, you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: we're just not we're just not that into you. Apparently,
Speaker 2: there has been an emergency meeting called according to Matt
Speaker 2: Crafton over at the Athletic Slash NY Times, where our
Speaker 2: buddy Johnny Infantino is kind of like, well, you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'd kind of like to have a rights holder here.
Speaker 1: And it ain't looking it ain't looking.
Speaker 2: It ain't looking all that good right now for a
Speaker 2: rights holder where you've got to have emergency meetings with
Speaker 2: all of your rights holders to sit there and go,
Speaker 2: I'd kind of like to have a you know, I'd
Speaker 2: kind of like to have somebody be a rights holder
Speaker 2: for this thing. And everybody's like, nah, not really interested.
Speaker 2: So I will be intrigued if to see where Adam
Speaker 2: Crafton and the Club World Cup end up going from here.
Speaker 1: I just I'm like, I don't know, man, uh.
Speaker 2: Are we are we to the point to where TV
Speaker 2: properties are like saturated saturated saturated?
Speaker 1: You know?
Speaker 5: Oh, it's the same. We have the same problem across
Speaker 5: all sports though, where it's like you need to have
Speaker 5: like five different streaming services to watch what you want.
Speaker 5: You already have to have like five different ones to
Speaker 5: watch every baseball game. You need to have like four
Speaker 5: different one four or five different ones for you have
Speaker 5: to have five different ones for NFL, Fox, CBS, Amazon, ESPN, NBC.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Peacock Yeah, well whatever, Yeah, the NBC overlord Peacock.
Speaker 5: Yeah, call it what you will.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, so, let's see what do we have
Speaker 2: here in the house. We've got ESPN Prime, uh, Paramount Plus.
Speaker 2: We've got Netflix wait for them to get into sports.
Speaker 2: Oh crap, that reminds me on Prime the Tragically Hip
Speaker 2: documentary came out today.
Speaker 1: All right, so it is.
Speaker 2: We've got ESPN, We've got ESPN Plus, we got cable based.
Speaker 2: We have cable to start things off with the super
Speaker 2: hyper mega Cable Sports package and the Spanish package, so
Speaker 2: that way we can watch uh newest tell a Fox Deportees,
Speaker 2: Uh you know, ESPN Deportees, et cetera, Telemundo to Dana.
Speaker 2: I've got all that on cable. I've got uh Paramount plus,
Speaker 2: Peacock Prime Fanatis. What am I missing? I know I'm
Speaker 2: missing something. So we we are we are fairly stream
Speaker 2: we we are fairly streamed in this household. We have
Speaker 2: the boatload of folks. How many streaming services do you
Speaker 2: have that are tied to sport?
Speaker 5: Let's see, we've got NBC, so peacock, whatever the hell
Speaker 5: you want to call it. I'm not actually do to
Speaker 5: pick up paramount again for Champions League, which is the
Speaker 5: only reason I ever have paramount.
Speaker 2: And you duck in and you duck out, that's what
Speaker 2: you do. It's like you just get it monthly for
Speaker 2: Champions League and then you're done.
Speaker 5: Yeah, basically that's all there is to it.
Speaker 2: And then they try to try to come back, is like,
Speaker 2: come on back, We'll give you a deal.
Speaker 5: So, yeah, man, it's too much.
Speaker 1: It really is.
Speaker 5: There's too much going on. Yeah, it's it's gonna be.
Speaker 5: It's gonna be. One of the things like it with
Speaker 5: baseball specifically, I know we have the issue of there's
Speaker 5: too much going on and it's impossible to watch games
Speaker 5: because it's frequently kind of the joke of God, why
Speaker 5: can't we just go back to watching games on TBSH
Speaker 5: jokes on you. The games will playoff gas will be
Speaker 5: on TBS. But even playoff games aren't simplified enough because
Speaker 5: you got some on TBS, someone Fox, ESPN, I grab some. Hell,
Speaker 5: I don't know. I will recommend what I did last year,
Speaker 5: which is wait for Black Friday, cause last year I
Speaker 5: got I got like a year of Peacock for like
Speaker 5: eighteen bucks. Yes, so wait for the Black Friday streaming
Speaker 5: deals to hit. You no longer have to go stand
Speaker 5: in a Walmart line for Black Friday. If you just
Speaker 5: wait for the streaming deals to hit, you can pick
Speaker 5: those up.
Speaker 2: We got our announcer assignments for what is going to
Speaker 2: be happening for a season pass. Jake and t t
Speaker 2: are shockingly calling Messi and Friends at NYC. They get
Speaker 2: the early game on Saturday. It is Neil cek Lloyd
Speaker 2: Sam for the Revs and Charlotte seven thirty seven forties,
Speaker 2: Caanjie and Danny are in Columbus for Orlando and Crewe.
Speaker 2: Krackour and any Baba are in Montreal for Chicago and
Speaker 2: FC Montreal. Callum and Kaylin are going to be at
Speaker 2: Red Bull Arena calling Atlanta United and Red Bulls. It
Speaker 2: is Rogo and Heath Pearce in Austin for COPA. Tajas,
Speaker 2: Tyler and Kindra are at LAFC in FC Dallas. Nate
Speaker 2: mccatie gets a home game with Lori Lindsay calling Sporting
Speaker 2: hosting the Loons. Tony husband Ross Smith Tony gets a
Speaker 2: home game Tony and Ross get a home game Nashville
Speaker 2: and FC Cincinnati, Christian Miles Devin Kerr for Colorado and Toronto,

Speaker 2: game for LA and Vancouver. Blake Price Paul Dolan travels
Speaker 2: south of the border for San Jose and All Caps.
Speaker 2: Nate Bakati Lorie Lindsay will get the doubleheader, so they
Speaker 2: get the eight thirty games Saturday night and then they
Speaker 2: get the six fifteen game with Philadelphia and DC. So
Speaker 2: that's your announcer assignments, as recently posted by MLS Communications
Speaker 2: at MLS Underscore pr for those of you that wish
Speaker 2: to follow along on the twitters. So, David, is the
Speaker 2: Club World Cup marketed?
Speaker 5: Well, not really, although it's not short answer, it's not.
Speaker 1: Nope.
Speaker 2: I almost feel like this is a bit like the
Speaker 2: old argument on women's sports. Make it available, straightforward and
Speaker 2: marketed and see how it plays.
Speaker 5: But the it's just what they'd be expecting.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So well, yeah, we don't do that here now.
Speaker 2: Adam Crafton says multiple industry sources who spoke anonymously to
Speaker 2: protect business relationships say the president's personal involvement meaning Infantino
Speaker 2: President's personal involvement, signifies the level of concern that has
Speaker 2: gripped the organization for the inaugural, revamped thirty two team
Speaker 2: Club World Cup. Remember it's thirty two teams now, it's
Speaker 2: not just like the Party of Eight like it was before.
Speaker 2: Scheduled to take place here in the US in June
Speaker 2: and July from middle June to middle July next year,
Speaker 2: FIFA yet to announce broadcasters, venues, training bases or sponsors
Speaker 2: nine months away. Real Madrid Byron Munich, Man City, PSG
Speaker 2: and Chelsea are also yet to be told formally the
Speaker 2: participation money or prize money that will be available to
Speaker 2: the competition. The Athletic has been told Europe's biggest clubs
Speaker 2: have budgeted for an anticipated windfall and excess of fifty
Speaker 2: million dollars and in some cases significantly more. Yet it
Speaker 2: is increasingly unclear how FIFA will fund this, and that's
Speaker 2: Crafton's words. FIFA previously in discussions with Apple over a
Speaker 2: global streaming deal to broadcast the tournament, but the deal
Speaker 2: was not completed. Meaning FIFA had to open up the
Speaker 2: tender in July of this year, two months ago to
Speaker 2: attract broadcast sponsors from around the world to take on
Speaker 2: the first two editions of the Club World Cup in
Speaker 2: twenty five and twenty nine. FIFA is still yet to
Speaker 2: announce any deals, sources within the broadcast industry stating FIFA's
Speaker 2: financial expectations are wildly different to the value currently perceived
Speaker 2: by TV networks and streaming platforms. With the final weeks
Speaker 2: of the tournament also clashing with big ticket events including
Speaker 2: the Women's euro and Wimbledon next summer, broadcasters have misgivings
Speaker 2: over the audience's familiarity with the Club World Cup. Also,
Speaker 2: there are concerns that some of the world's most popular
Speaker 2: teams Manchester United, Arsenal, Liverpool BARSA ACMs have failed to
Speaker 2: qualify for the competition. I'll Nasser have also not qualified,
Speaker 2: while the involvement of Lionel Messi's Inter Miami is in
Speaker 2: the balance, With FIFA still to announce how it plans
Speaker 2: to allocate the final host place for the tournament, expectation
Speaker 2: is it will go to the winners of this season's
Speaker 2: MLS Cup.
Speaker 1: Wild card. Messi and Friends.
Speaker 2: I still think that that wild card is going to
Speaker 2: go to Messian Friends, especially if it is not so
Speaker 2: they don't.
Speaker 5: Win the Cup. Yeah, it's obvious. It's a marketing game.
Speaker 5: It's this. This is a television show.
Speaker 1: Uh huh. It is a television show.
Speaker 5: Y'all can call it whatever you want and complain whatever
Speaker 5: you want about whether or not Miami deserves it. And
Speaker 5: they've been great, don't get me wrong. But ultimately, even
Speaker 5: if they didn't win the Shield, didn't win the Cup,
Speaker 5: let's say they got hammered in the first round, it's
Speaker 5: still a television show and they care who tunes in,
Speaker 5: and people tune in for Messy, correct, So they're gonna
Speaker 5: take him am in.
Speaker 1: This week the athletics.
Speaker 2: David Berson, the president of CEO of CBS Sports, whether
Speaker 2: it is looking at the Club World Cup, given it
Speaker 2: already has a billion and a half dollars deal over
Speaker 2: the next six years to broadcast UEFA Competitions, Champions League,
Speaker 2: Europa League, Conference League, as well as Siria and the EFL.
Speaker 2: Berson quote, we will look at all the properties that
Speaker 2: come up. I'm not trying to avoid it, but it's
Speaker 2: gonna be on a case by case basis on the
Speaker 2: value of that. Reality is we now have Markee European
Speaker 2: football content almost all year long, so we have to
Speaker 2: see what the incremental value is for that period of time.
Speaker 2: And I'll tell you the new format for UEFA club
Speaker 2: competitions is even longer. It's close to fifty percent or
Speaker 2: so for more matches, more of the big teams against
Speaker 2: each other. A lot of volume there determining whether or
Speaker 2: not the incremental content that you're referring to would be
Speaker 2: worthwhile and add value. But we're thrilled with the portfolio
Speaker 2: we have. Infantino is now holding a briefing call for
Speaker 2: global broadcast execs today is when it's scheduled, joined by
Speaker 2: PSG President Nasural Khalafi, who will be present in his
Speaker 2: role as the chairman of the European Clubs Association. ECA
Speaker 2: is essentially a lobbying organization representing the interests of the
Speaker 2: clubs who compete regularly in UEFA club competitions. ECA previously
Speaker 2: signed a memorandum of understanding with FIFA back in March
Speaker 2: of twenty three, after which al Khalafi said FIFA and
Speaker 2: ACA will now establish closer working practices on a future
Speaker 2: new Club World Cup blah blah blah blah blah. Close collaboration,
Speaker 2: Infantino said with clubs in Europe and the rest of
Speaker 2: the world will be essential for the success of those events.
Speaker 2: Eighteen months on, according to Crafton, clubs have been profoundly
Speaker 2: frustrated by FIFA appearing to seek to do much of
Speaker 2: the work in house without informing them regularly the process
Speaker 2: or what to expect when the tournament comes round. When
Speaker 2: the tournament comes around, all Khalafi's presence at the call
Speaker 2: on Fridays and indication FIFA is now attempting to bring
Speaker 2: the clubs in the room after failing so far to
Speaker 2: strike necessary deals. So this is Adam Crafton over at
Speaker 2: the Athletic which is now in my Times dot com
Speaker 2: and then they link to they do a hashtag Athletic.
Speaker 1: Et cetera, et cetera.
Speaker 2: So the Club World Cup, for those of you that
Speaker 2: might be interested, don't know where it's going to be
Speaker 2: and we are ten nine months.
Speaker 1: Out, don't know.
Speaker 2: Who's broadcasting it, don't know where the venues are here,
Speaker 2: it's office, hd HQ and SDHHQ. All we got to
Speaker 2: do is go eight miles behind us, eight miles to
Speaker 2: the west. You got a venue. I don't think it'll
Speaker 2: be hard to get that one filled and just have
Speaker 2: to coordinate it with all the folks that are down there.
Speaker 2: So intriguing at the very least about the Club World
Speaker 2: Cup and seeing where things are, what they are and
Speaker 2: who's going to be doing what and who's going to
Speaker 2: be doing what where. So keep an eye on the
Speaker 2: Club World Cup and what it's going to be happening
Speaker 2: over the next nine months. According to once again the Athletic,
Speaker 2: the FA and US Soccer and talks to stage and
Speaker 2: international friendly between England and the men's national team before
Speaker 2: the Men's World Cup in twenty six MJ. Shrimper and
Speaker 2: Adam Crafton had the news on that, and that's another one.
Speaker 2: I have a subscription to the Athletic. I have to
Speaker 2: remember to get rid of it by the end of
Speaker 2: the year because I didn't get rid of it at
Speaker 2: the renewal time and they got me for the full price. Traditionally,
Speaker 2: I don't go full price for the Athletic. I don't
Speaker 2: think that I like the Athletic for their international stuff.
Speaker 2: I'm liking it more and more for their international stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't read it for the domestic, but perhaps maybe
Speaker 2: a subscription to ny Times and getting the athletic loop
Speaker 2: around would probably be helpful there when it comes to
Speaker 2: all of that. All right, So we talked about what's
Speaker 2: going on in the Premier League this weekend. A lot
Speaker 2: of to keep an eye on, and the biggest one
Speaker 2: obviously is Manchester City and Arsenal. Kevin de Bruna was
Speaker 2: injured over the.
Speaker 1: Champions League match this past time.
Speaker 2: No word on him and what it's gonna look like
Speaker 2: for him, Will check the sources coming up in just
Speaker 2: a bit. Busy Day eight matches on Saturday two on Sunday,
Speaker 2: Manchester City and Arsenal's your marquee matchup eleven thirty on
Speaker 2: Sunday morning. West Ham and Chelsea. Chelsea favorite on the
Speaker 2: road aston Villa big favorite at home against Wolves. Full
Speaker 2: of a slight road dog at home a slight home
Speaker 2: dog hosting Newcastle at Craven Cottage. Lester a home favorite
Speaker 2: against Everton. Sean Diish was having to refute stories about
Speaker 2: him having a buyout already. Liverpool big favorite at home
Speaker 2: against Bournemouth. Southampton favored at home against Ipswich. Tottenham a
Speaker 2: big favorite at home against Brentford Crystal Palace a dog
Speaker 2: at home at Selhurst Park against Manchester United. Brighton favored
Speaker 2: at home against Nottingham Forest. Manchester City favored at home
Speaker 2: in a minus one nineteen against Arsenal. Arsenal is a
Speaker 2: plus three sixty two. So intriguing stuff there when it
Speaker 2: comes to the weekend, it is the return of the.
Speaker 1: Women's Super League, So keep an eye on that and checking.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to see gossip rumering in you window and
Speaker 2: see if there's anything out there. Manchester City, the thought is,
Speaker 2: how would they set up if they do not have
Speaker 2: Kevin de Brune in the lineup, So you have a
Speaker 2: Phodin Grealish and gun to one all could start and
Speaker 2: so you've got to keep an eye on that once again.
Speaker 2: Fix your fantasy teams and see how how it all
Speaker 2: shapes up with all of them folks and see how
Speaker 2: So it's a hamstring injury that he was sidelined with
Speaker 2: the beginning of the twenty four season regular so far
Speaker 2: this year, left after feeling discomfort in the first half.
Speaker 2: Apparently he grabbed his growing grimacing on the pitch. Replaced
Speaker 2: by gun To want So, Pep said at his press conference.
Speaker 2: Asked about de Bruna. He's like and this was midweek,
Speaker 2: hadn't spoken with doctors yet, more information when he does
Speaker 2: assess him on Thursday. Look into the future for city,
Speaker 2: you wonder what it's going to look like and is
Speaker 2: it now going to be Phil Foden, So it could
Speaker 2: be gun to Wan Fodin, Grealish, Nunyaz Silva, Covidcicic and
Speaker 2: maybe Oscar Bob to be a part of the layout
Speaker 2: there and we'll see what it looks like for Manchester City.
Speaker 2: Let's roll through the papers and kind of see what's
Speaker 2: going on, seeing if there was anything that we missed
Speaker 2: early this morning. Let's see if there's any updates and
Speaker 2: then we'll go to Gossip Broomer and then you indo
Speaker 2: what to watch, where to watch it, how to watch it,
Speaker 2: all of that stuff. Chelsea have applied for an agent's
Speaker 2: multi million pound lawsuit to be thrown out of court.
Speaker 2: The club believes that Saife Al Ruby's claim has been
Speaker 2: incorrectly filed, that Kurt Zuma's transferred dispute should be arbitrated.
Speaker 2: That comes from Matt Law at our friends at the Telegraph.
Speaker 1: As you're keeping an eye on that.
Speaker 2: Let's see we mentioned all the fun with Manchester City
Speaker 2: and what they could be in store for Steve Cooper
Speaker 2: and all the stuff that he could be in store for.
Speaker 2: No word yet from the PGMOL about any kind of
Speaker 2: finger wag and or envelope or fine for Steve Cooper,
Speaker 2: who's accusing the PGMO wel of using false images in
Speaker 2: the matchup against in the decisions against Lester. So you know,
Speaker 2: keep an eye on that and hold your breath if
Speaker 2: you're a Lester fan. Sorry nix about all of that stuff.
Speaker 2: Let's see. Word out of Australia is Football Australia scrambling
Speaker 2: to find a new coach With the next couple around
Speaker 2: the qualifiers. Graham Arnold stepped down as the Soccer US
Speaker 2: head coach with immediate effect on Friday. He'd been in
Speaker 2: dialogue with Football Australia this week ironing out an exit
Speaker 2: strategy from a role he's held since twenty eighteen and
Speaker 2: now resigned before their next game against China in October.
Speaker 2: Fay confirmed the news on Friday. Arnold said later it
Speaker 2: was time for a change.
Speaker 1: Bart.
Speaker 2: We'll put that up, put a bookmark in that. We'll
Speaker 2: talk about it on Monday about Graham Arnold and the
Speaker 2: soccer US. So I know it's a little bit of
Speaker 2: an international thing, but I wanted to discuss that with
Speaker 2: you also. As what we're staring at, we'll go over
Speaker 2: the results from the Champions League yesterday, and it looks
Speaker 2: like it's somewhat calm heading into the weekend when it
Speaker 2: comes to news. Obviously a lot of folks are sitting
Speaker 2: there and looking at Manchester City and Arsenal on Sunday
Speaker 2: morning our time. Anyway, as to what it's going to
Speaker 2: look like, ooh yeah, we'll talk about this. We'll talk
Speaker 2: about this from the Times Matt Lawton and when Matt
Speaker 2: Lawton has a byeline, it's kind of like a request
Speaker 2: head you don't want it.
Speaker 1: And England hooligan is banned.
Speaker 2: After the first use of facial technology overseas. Joshua thirty four,
Speaker 2: who seriously assaulted a fellow England supporter Why why would
Speaker 2: you assault a fellow supporter during the Euros in twenty
Speaker 2: twenty four, has received a three year banning order. Witness
Speaker 2: to the incident took a photo of Wall, gave it
Speaker 2: to the police and wa was staring right into that camera.
Speaker 2: Phone Football hooligan seriously assaulted another fan three year banning
Speaker 2: order after they use facial recognition technology, left his victim
Speaker 2: of a broken john a broken nose. After England's group
Speaker 2: game against Serbia and Gelsenkirkin on June sixteen. Witness to
Speaker 2: the incident managed to take a photograph of Wah, who
Speaker 2: also received an indefinite band from the England Supporters Travel Club,
Speaker 2: passed it to police operation between the UK Football Police Unit,
Speaker 2: Cheshire Police their German counterparts. Officers then used retrospective facial
Speaker 2: recognition technology and SolV, a mass messaging app that enabled
Speaker 2: to identify the suspect. Image was used in a witness
Speaker 2: appeal used via SolV got fifty four thousand hits of
Speaker 2: the police who identify him. In total, eleven people who
Speaker 2: attended the tournament in Germany have so far been issued
Speaker 2: football banning orders and another three cases due to be
Speaker 2: heard in court next week. Of the eleven. Of those,
Speaker 2: eleven were identified via RfR, which compares still images of
Speaker 2: faces of unknown subjects against a reference image database. While
Speaker 2: appeared to Middlesbrough Magistrate's Court on Wednesday. While the German
Speaker 2: police have yet to take an the action, court agree
Speaker 2: to the banning order. I'm just gonna say this, a
Speaker 2: three year banning order after an assault three years, I
Speaker 2: don't care. Joshuas should not be involved in any venue
Speaker 2: to see any match ever again, except the venue being
Speaker 2: his flat and what he's watching comes across on the television.
Speaker 2: I'm guessing that he's lucky that all they had was
Speaker 2: that video evidence of the assault. And if you're punished
Speaker 2: to the highest extent of the law, I'm all for it.
Speaker 2: But when it comes to going to witness matches, Nope,
Speaker 2: you're done. You want to use that facial technology to
Speaker 2: get him charged? Use the facial technology walking in the door.
Speaker 2: Joshua does not need to be in any other venue
Speaker 2: seeing any other match ever, ever, ever again. Watch him
Speaker 2: from home, cowboy, watch him from home. So good on
Speaker 2: him for having this technology. Good on him for finding
Speaker 2: out who it was, and the fact that you wanted
Speaker 2: to assault a fellow England supporter. We support the same team.
Speaker 2: But I don't like what you said. I'm guessing, and
Speaker 2: so Joshua convicted of assault only a three year banning order.
Speaker 2: That's disappointing. Joshua has no business being in any venue
Speaker 2: ever again.
Speaker 1: Ever.
Speaker 2: Again, but Hazaz and Herahz on facial technology being used
Speaker 2: to find to find him out.
Speaker 1: And yeah, so.
Speaker 2: That's a step, but still not big enough of a
Speaker 2: step to make sure that somebody is not allowed in
Speaker 2: any venue ever again because you felt compelled to assault
Speaker 2: a fellow supporter. You assaulted a fellow English supporter. What
Speaker 2: in the wide world of sports are you thinking?
Speaker 1: I'd love to know? But anyway, uh, Manchester United.
Speaker 2: Whened Foster and partners to develop an Old Trafford master plan,
Speaker 2: I find that interesting that the word master plan was used,
Speaker 2: considering that's an Oasis song. So you you use a
Speaker 2: headline involving a Manchester City fan group or brothers who
Speaker 2: are fans of Manchester City in your headline involving Manchester United,
Speaker 2: I appreciate the irony in that. All Right, Gossip, Bermer
