WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.680 --> 00:00:03.960
<v Speaker 1>And we got a handful of games to talk about.

2
00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:08.279
<v Speaker 2>And when you look back at what happened last week

3
00:00:08.839 --> 00:00:11.039
<v Speaker 2>across the board, what sticks in your mind before we

4
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:13.240
<v Speaker 2>get into the previews for this weekend? And I know

5
00:00:13.279 --> 00:00:14.560
<v Speaker 2>that's where I want to spend the bulk of the

6
00:00:14.560 --> 00:00:17.679
<v Speaker 2>time with you, specifically Western Conference. What sticks with you

7
00:00:17.760 --> 00:00:20.800
<v Speaker 2>from the last weekend as we're getting ready for a

8
00:00:20.839 --> 00:00:22.519
<v Speaker 2>conference finals?

9
00:00:22.879 --> 00:00:26.160
<v Speaker 3>Look that regular she said, It means absolutely nothing that

10
00:00:27.600 --> 00:00:29.440
<v Speaker 3>as long as you have a game plan, you have

11
00:00:30.239 --> 00:00:31.359
<v Speaker 3>a way to win a game.

12
00:00:32.759 --> 00:00:34.399
<v Speaker 4>It doesn't have to be brilliant. He just has to

13
00:00:34.399 --> 00:00:35.000
<v Speaker 4>be effective.

14
00:00:35.200 --> 00:00:39.799
<v Speaker 3>And the Seattle Sounders were example number one that that

15
00:00:39.920 --> 00:00:46.399
<v Speaker 3>game was designed by Brian Spencer, and I applaud him

16
00:00:46.439 --> 00:00:50.920
<v Speaker 3>on the fact that he moved things around in every

17
00:00:50.960 --> 00:00:55.079
<v Speaker 3>single show that I was in the special here with

18
00:00:55.159 --> 00:00:58.280
<v Speaker 3>the guys from Fox thirteen, I had mentioned the fact

19
00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:00.640
<v Speaker 3>that satur needed to do something friend to be the

20
00:01:00.759 --> 00:01:03.039
<v Speaker 3>LAC that I thought that maybe going to a line

21
00:01:03.039 --> 00:01:05.280
<v Speaker 3>of three in the back would help that out, having

22
00:01:05.280 --> 00:01:08.599
<v Speaker 3>an extra guy to prevent those long balls from Chaneau.

23
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.120
<v Speaker 3>Maybe playing with the line of confrontation way deeper in

24
00:01:12.200 --> 00:01:15.280
<v Speaker 3>a mid block, maybe even a lower block that could

25
00:01:15.640 --> 00:01:19.760
<v Speaker 3>frustrate LAFC and and not get allow them to just

26
00:01:19.799 --> 00:01:22.400
<v Speaker 3>get into the game very freely, and that's what they did,

27
00:01:22.640 --> 00:01:26.319
<v Speaker 3>and it was a brilliant It's pretty interesting and the

28
00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:31.079
<v Speaker 3>way they at points of the game did outpus us LAFC,

29
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:36.400
<v Speaker 3>even with those adjustments made, so they get it done.

30
00:01:37.560 --> 00:01:41.719
<v Speaker 3>I understand that sometimes it's not the way you want it,

31
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:44.840
<v Speaker 3>because this team, I think would have rather tied that

32
00:01:44.920 --> 00:01:47.040
<v Speaker 3>game with a run to play goal or a set

33
00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:47.599
<v Speaker 3>piece goal.

34
00:01:48.319 --> 00:01:49.760
<v Speaker 4>And it was a run to play goal. It was

35
00:01:49.799 --> 00:01:50.760
<v Speaker 4>an own goal by Chanel.

36
00:01:51.159 --> 00:01:51.280
<v Speaker 2>Uh.

37
00:01:51.359 --> 00:01:54.879
<v Speaker 3>They created that luck, that ability to and then in

38
00:01:54.920 --> 00:02:00.480
<v Speaker 3>the overtime thanks to Stephan Frying heroic, absolutely heroic performance

39
00:02:00.519 --> 00:02:01.000
<v Speaker 3>by him.

40
00:02:01.359 --> 00:02:04.680
<v Speaker 4>I thought it was nine shots saved in that game.

41
00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:08.080
<v Speaker 4>I mean, he was just unreal. Every single save was

42
00:02:08.120 --> 00:02:11.280
<v Speaker 4>better than the next, the kick safe, the reaction safe

43
00:02:11.280 --> 00:02:15.400
<v Speaker 4>of deflection from hollandsted shot, then there was the one

44
00:02:15.400 --> 00:02:17.840
<v Speaker 4>that he crashes against the post. I mean, there were

45
00:02:17.879 --> 00:02:22.719
<v Speaker 4>so many epic and transcendent saves by all you could

46
00:02:22.759 --> 00:02:25.639
<v Speaker 4>do was a plot the heart by Ovid bargains that

47
00:02:25.759 --> 00:02:27.960
<v Speaker 4>was all over that field. There was just a lot

48
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:32.240
<v Speaker 4>of things that Shadow did differently that game. Uh, And

49
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:34.080
<v Speaker 4>they just held on and stayed in the game.

50
00:02:34.520 --> 00:02:36.960
<v Speaker 3>So that's what I mean by it doesn't matter how

51
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:39.240
<v Speaker 3>you do it, is you getting that win. Jordan Morris

52
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:41.879
<v Speaker 3>against his moment of brilliance, he gets a goal to

53
00:02:41.879 --> 00:02:45.840
<v Speaker 3>one Lac you get through right when he comes to

54
00:02:45.879 --> 00:02:47.560
<v Speaker 3>Red Bulls. It was it was similar. It was it

55
00:02:47.599 --> 00:02:50.360
<v Speaker 3>was a more dominant performance. We said it here. You know,

56
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:53.520
<v Speaker 3>it was a lot of the of the day. They

57
00:02:54.599 --> 00:02:56.280
<v Speaker 3>did not need the ball. I think it was thirty

58
00:02:56.280 --> 00:02:59.159
<v Speaker 3>seven percent of the possession that they had in that game.

59
00:02:59.439 --> 00:03:02.360
<v Speaker 3>But they were just better finishing than New Yer City. See,

60
00:03:02.360 --> 00:03:05.800
<v Speaker 3>they were able to get it done. So those are

61
00:03:05.800 --> 00:03:08.800
<v Speaker 3>the things that I mean. Oscar Pereja, he has one

62
00:03:08.800 --> 00:03:13.199
<v Speaker 3>way to win. He has one former win. Organized Realy,

63
00:03:13.759 --> 00:03:18.560
<v Speaker 3>you go push Atlanta United. Was very unfortunate that Jamal

64
00:03:18.599 --> 00:03:22.280
<v Speaker 3>Tierray gets hurt or gets hurt by Wilder card Deahena.

65
00:03:22.719 --> 00:03:24.080
<v Speaker 4>She'd have been a yellow by the way.

66
00:03:25.240 --> 00:03:28.479
<v Speaker 3>Then seconds after in the second half, Rios goes down

67
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:32.080
<v Speaker 3>ball to the face. That depth gets really damaged, and

68
00:03:32.120 --> 00:03:34.879
<v Speaker 3>I think it hinders what Atlanta wanted to do. But

69
00:03:35.000 --> 00:03:38.360
<v Speaker 3>again is what Orlando did. What they had in their bench,

70
00:03:38.960 --> 00:03:43.039
<v Speaker 3>everything's put together. So that's what I mean by religious

71
00:03:43.039 --> 00:03:46.080
<v Speaker 3>and mean nothing. Playoffs are all about just getting it

72
00:03:46.120 --> 00:03:48.840
<v Speaker 3>done in the playoffs, and that's kind of what has

73
00:03:48.919 --> 00:03:52.759
<v Speaker 3>this four teams in the finals of each conference.

74
00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:55.199
<v Speaker 2>All Right, I'm going to spend time in the East

75
00:03:55.199 --> 00:03:57.000
<v Speaker 2>because I want to spend more time in the West.

76
00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.560
<v Speaker 2>I want to get the East out of the way. Well.

77
00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:03.919
<v Speaker 2>Red Bulls Purple team. We mentioned early in the show

78
00:04:04.080 --> 00:04:09.120
<v Speaker 2>about next season, the possibility of Eric maximsubomoting, possibly making

79
00:04:09.159 --> 00:04:12.240
<v Speaker 2>his way to Red Bulls. Red Bulls are different when

80
00:04:12.280 --> 00:04:15.639
<v Speaker 2>Forrestburg is healthy, and it's easy to see that when

81
00:04:15.680 --> 00:04:17.319
<v Speaker 2>you look at the Purple team and Red Bulls.

82
00:04:17.360 --> 00:04:23.120
<v Speaker 3>What do you say, I see a game that's gonna

83
00:04:23.160 --> 00:04:25.680
<v Speaker 3>come down to the details, and it's a game that

84
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:34.439
<v Speaker 3>will be determined by the playoff that midfield edelmanana Arajo

85
00:04:34.879 --> 00:04:35.480
<v Speaker 3>got by you.

86
00:04:35.920 --> 00:04:39.759
<v Speaker 4>I mean, how those duels are kind of.

87
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:45.759
<v Speaker 3>Flewing throughout the game, how they're determined, how they're written,

88
00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.839
<v Speaker 3>how they're articulated. That was really going to define this game.

89
00:04:49.759 --> 00:04:52.120
<v Speaker 3>On the other side, I mean, can Tolkien and tourist,

90
00:04:52.199 --> 00:04:53.800
<v Speaker 3>what's that going to be?

91
00:04:53.959 --> 00:04:54.079
<v Speaker 1>Like?

92
00:04:55.879 --> 00:04:59.319
<v Speaker 3>I think Opereja is very aware of Red bull Ball.

93
00:04:59.480 --> 00:05:01.759
<v Speaker 3>They're gonna they're gonna press them. They're gonna push, They're

94
00:05:01.759 --> 00:05:04.600
<v Speaker 3>gonna have to be very direct. They cannot make mistakes

95
00:05:04.600 --> 00:05:06.920
<v Speaker 3>in the back. They got to keep the ball out

96
00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.680
<v Speaker 3>of their own third. I didn't have the weapons to

97
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:13.319
<v Speaker 3>do it. It's not their style of play necessarily, but

98
00:05:13.439 --> 00:05:15.800
<v Speaker 3>maybe just getting that ball over the first line of

99
00:05:15.879 --> 00:05:19.160
<v Speaker 3>confrontation all the way up top to Angulu on one

100
00:05:19.199 --> 00:05:22.279
<v Speaker 3>side to Torres on the other. Maybe you just try

101
00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:24.680
<v Speaker 3>to win more of the secondary balls. That's where you're

102
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:26.360
<v Speaker 3>gonna have to do to get it done against the

103
00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:31.680
<v Speaker 3>Red Bulls. That, as you said, uh, Fordsburg is what

104
00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.360
<v Speaker 3>puts it off together. He is the one that runs

105
00:05:34.360 --> 00:05:37.759
<v Speaker 3>the orchestra. And you see the difference when he's on

106
00:05:37.800 --> 00:05:40.120
<v Speaker 3>the ball, and it makes Vin Zero better and he

107
00:05:40.199 --> 00:05:42.839
<v Speaker 3>makes Morgan better, and he makes everybody around him better.

108
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.279
<v Speaker 3>And he's so smart and he has that quality and

109
00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.360
<v Speaker 3>that pride because you know he's Every interview they see

110
00:05:49.360 --> 00:05:51.319
<v Speaker 3>from him is like, look people, oh it's an apology.

111
00:05:51.360 --> 00:05:51.519
<v Speaker 1>Man.

112
00:05:51.560 --> 00:05:53.920
<v Speaker 4>We already knew who were going to be here.

113
00:05:53.920 --> 00:05:55.680
<v Speaker 3>So they got they got the right character, they got

114
00:05:55.680 --> 00:05:58.920
<v Speaker 3>the right component. Loves Carpere, love the Purple tape as well.

115
00:05:58.959 --> 00:06:02.560
<v Speaker 3>They're doing it in the o Way. I think ultimately though,

116
00:06:02.759 --> 00:06:05.360
<v Speaker 3>it will come out to those guys that define the

117
00:06:05.399 --> 00:06:11.560
<v Speaker 3>games and just on paper, and the edge between Orlando

118
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:14.480
<v Speaker 3>City and the Red Bulls is very minimal. But the

119
00:06:14.519 --> 00:06:17.199
<v Speaker 3>thing he will come down to the talent, and regardless

120
00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:19.519
<v Speaker 3>of not being the best moreal of all times and

121
00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:23.240
<v Speaker 3>being a moreal is pretty diminished. You still got Duncan MacGuire,

122
00:06:23.240 --> 00:06:25.920
<v Speaker 3>you still got Ramiro Drincue, you still got Torris Oheeda.

123
00:06:26.079 --> 00:06:28.120
<v Speaker 3>You got so many options up top that I think

124
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.600
<v Speaker 3>that's gonna end up being the big difference maker in

125
00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.319
<v Speaker 3>Orlando will make it through to the final.

126
00:06:32.720 --> 00:06:34.319
<v Speaker 2>I know there's gonna be a lot of pressure at

127
00:06:34.319 --> 00:06:39.319
<v Speaker 2>the back with Red Bulls wanting to force Forhoulson and

128
00:06:39.439 --> 00:06:43.319
<v Speaker 2>Robin Johnson into bad decisions to create those short fields

129
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:45.319
<v Speaker 2>that we're used to seeing with Red Bulls. Right now,

130
00:06:45.480 --> 00:06:48.560
<v Speaker 2>Purple teams the minus one twenty two ninety minute draws

131
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:51.120
<v Speaker 2>a plus two sixty seven. Red Bulls are a plus

132
00:06:51.160 --> 00:06:53.399
<v Speaker 2>three seventeen to win it in ninety minutes.

133
00:06:53.560 --> 00:06:58.879
<v Speaker 3>Now, Man, those times are interesting just because the betting

134
00:06:58.920 --> 00:07:00.480
<v Speaker 3>man in me is like, man, maybe I'll just throw

135
00:07:00.519 --> 00:07:02.759
<v Speaker 3>fifty bucks out of the rebels, because, like I said,

136
00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:05.560
<v Speaker 3>that the Red li The lines are so thin. I

137
00:07:05.639 --> 00:07:08.279
<v Speaker 3>mean it's a really small margin. I think it's way

138
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:13.720
<v Speaker 3>closer than the LA Galaxy and Sounders game. But I

139
00:07:13.800 --> 00:07:17.279
<v Speaker 3>ultimately do believe that Orlando wins this game, and I

140
00:07:17.319 --> 00:07:20.240
<v Speaker 3>actually do think that it's going to be a couple

141
00:07:20.319 --> 00:07:20.639
<v Speaker 3>of goals.

142
00:07:20.680 --> 00:07:22.680
<v Speaker 4>So what's the over under?

143
00:07:22.720 --> 00:07:26.279
<v Speaker 3>Because I do believe I have a three to two

144
00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:28.199
<v Speaker 3>possibly this one.

145
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:33.240
<v Speaker 2>Okay, all right, So man, you're running out of room.

146
00:07:33.959 --> 00:07:37.000
<v Speaker 2>Over under four and a half is a plus four

147
00:07:37.240 --> 00:07:46.079
<v Speaker 2>fifty seven ooh ooh, or fifty seven for a four

148
00:07:46.120 --> 00:07:48.800
<v Speaker 2>and a half over if you want to dial it

149
00:07:48.839 --> 00:07:49.959
<v Speaker 2>back a little bit more.

150
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:53.519
<v Speaker 1>Three and a half is still plus one ninety five.

151
00:07:54.680 --> 00:07:57.000
<v Speaker 3>Give me three and a half, play it safe, three

152
00:07:57.040 --> 00:08:00.360
<v Speaker 3>and a half. Orlando takes it. I'm comfort were.

153
00:08:00.240 --> 00:08:02.199
<v Speaker 2>With that, Okay, all right, Now let's get to the

154
00:08:02.199 --> 00:08:04.120
<v Speaker 2>Western Conference, because I know this is the bread and

155
00:08:04.120 --> 00:08:09.199
<v Speaker 2>butter here with LAG. We'll start with juice boxes. Then

156
00:08:09.199 --> 00:08:11.759
<v Speaker 2>you can hang on to this information as we analyze.

157
00:08:12.399 --> 00:08:16.120
<v Speaker 2>LAG's only a minus one point fifteen, so they are

158
00:08:16.240 --> 00:08:18.959
<v Speaker 2>less of a favorite at home than the Purple team

159
00:08:19.000 --> 00:08:23.240
<v Speaker 2>against Red Bulls ninety minute draw plus two seventy one,

160
00:08:23.560 --> 00:08:26.759
<v Speaker 2>Seattle is a plus two ninety two and they're going

161
00:08:26.839 --> 00:08:28.680
<v Speaker 2>to have to do it. Paul Rothrock out for the.

162
00:08:28.720 --> 00:08:30.120
<v Speaker 4>Year, yep.

163
00:08:30.399 --> 00:08:35.679
<v Speaker 3>And I think those numbers have shifted compared to a

164
00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.840
<v Speaker 3>couple of days ago that it was a little bit higher.

165
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:39.639
<v Speaker 3>I thought it was in the plus three hundreds at

166
00:08:39.679 --> 00:08:43.279
<v Speaker 3>one point for the Sounders, I thought. But yes, Nopul

167
00:08:43.360 --> 00:08:46.559
<v Speaker 3>roth Rock definitely a big blow to this team. You

168
00:08:46.600 --> 00:08:48.679
<v Speaker 3>saw how much they needed him in the last game.

169
00:08:49.360 --> 00:08:54.120
<v Speaker 3>They had to be resourceful obviously, a different information, a

170
00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:56.600
<v Speaker 3>different way of doing things with Rebaker Whiten as that

171
00:08:56.799 --> 00:09:00.279
<v Speaker 3>left wing back. Good job by him, by the way, Actually,

172
00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.320
<v Speaker 3>for a player that did not get many starts this season,

173
00:09:04.320 --> 00:09:06.080
<v Speaker 3>that three min back line did okay.

174
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:07.960
<v Speaker 4>I thought Jbell struggled at times.

175
00:09:08.399 --> 00:09:12.000
<v Speaker 3>You could tell that he hasn't got many starts either,

176
00:09:12.120 --> 00:09:17.399
<v Speaker 3>less than five hundred minutes this season. But ultimately John

177
00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:22.200
<v Speaker 3>France of SDH, this is gonna come down to the

178
00:09:22.240 --> 00:09:27.399
<v Speaker 3>Seattle Saunders perhaps not having enough in this game. Yamerica

179
00:09:27.600 --> 00:09:30.960
<v Speaker 3>Sentraa went out in the sixty six minute against laoc

180
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:34.200
<v Speaker 3>As far as I believe he's in a doctor strain.

181
00:09:35.480 --> 00:09:38.159
<v Speaker 3>I don't know how familiar you guys are with that injury,

182
00:09:38.279 --> 00:09:42.120
<v Speaker 3>but six day turnaround after the swallowing goes down just

183
00:09:42.159 --> 00:09:45.159
<v Speaker 3>seems way too short. Ys not a robot, He's not

184
00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:47.720
<v Speaker 3>an android. He's you know, he's the man. Man, He's

185
00:09:47.759 --> 00:09:51.480
<v Speaker 3>a man. There's no way that he plays his game

186
00:09:51.639 --> 00:09:55.000
<v Speaker 3>to me, there's just absolutely no way. Brand Smetterer said

187
00:09:55.720 --> 00:09:58.879
<v Speaker 3>there's a sixty percent Chancy place. I don't think that's there.

188
00:09:59.519 --> 00:10:02.000
<v Speaker 3>Then he said, Rebecca Whiton is a fifty to fifty.

189
00:10:02.759 --> 00:10:06.399
<v Speaker 3>If Yemar is a sixty and Rebecca White's a fifty

190
00:10:06.399 --> 00:10:10.639
<v Speaker 3>to fifty, he's not playing this game. I still don't

191
00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:14.320
<v Speaker 3>know what's gonna happen with Knew who who was. We'll

192
00:10:14.320 --> 00:10:16.440
<v Speaker 3>see what they say today. Because new who was supposed

193
00:10:16.440 --> 00:10:18.960
<v Speaker 3>to be back on Wednesday, ended up being back on Thursday.

194
00:10:19.240 --> 00:10:22.799
<v Speaker 3>There's an illness that he caught while with Cameroon. The

195
00:10:22.840 --> 00:10:25.440
<v Speaker 3>medical team from the Sounders needs to evaluate him and

196
00:10:25.519 --> 00:10:29.360
<v Speaker 3>needs to clear him. So if he doesn't play, that

197
00:10:29.519 --> 00:10:33.039
<v Speaker 3>is four guys that are key components to the defense

198
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:34.919
<v Speaker 3>the offense that are not going to be there. So

199
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:38.279
<v Speaker 3>even if Knew Who plays, I think Seattle's going to

200
00:10:38.320 --> 00:10:39.360
<v Speaker 3>be at a big disadvantage.

201
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.639
<v Speaker 4>Nathan look great to him. He came in.

202
00:10:41.679 --> 00:10:45.600
<v Speaker 3>He was serviceable. He had a big game because of

203
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:49.559
<v Speaker 3>the moments of that. You're playing Denis Bwanga, you're playing Bogots,

204
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.519
<v Speaker 3>you were coming in lating to a game.

205
00:10:52.000 --> 00:10:54.279
<v Speaker 4>But you could tell when Yemar left that game and

206
00:10:54.320 --> 00:10:57.960
<v Speaker 4>it was easier for LAFC to get forward. Now, LAFC

207
00:10:58.080 --> 00:10:59.200
<v Speaker 4>did change it up a little bit.

208
00:10:59.240 --> 00:11:01.559
<v Speaker 3>They should have gone to a four three three hour earlier,

209
00:11:01.600 --> 00:11:03.200
<v Speaker 3>and I think that was part of the reason why

210
00:11:03.200 --> 00:11:06.440
<v Speaker 3>they did jump on the Sounders after the sixty six.

211
00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.720
<v Speaker 3>Well they changed that in the extra time and that's

212
00:11:09.759 --> 00:11:11.639
<v Speaker 3>when they really came up on top of the seat

213
00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:16.320
<v Speaker 3>of Sounders. But it's just gonna be difficult. It's gonna

214
00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:24.360
<v Speaker 3>be really, really hard for Seattle to maintain that game

215
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:27.440
<v Speaker 3>style of the best defensive team in MLS because they

216
00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:28.679
<v Speaker 3>are the best difenit in MLS.

217
00:11:28.720 --> 00:11:30.960
<v Speaker 4>Do not about it. They have hearts of lines.

218
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:33.360
<v Speaker 3>They just showed you that the DNA of the SATA

219
00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:37.360
<v Speaker 3>sounder is the real thing, and they told you know,

220
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:39.840
<v Speaker 3>jerks like me that they can do it all right,

221
00:11:41.240 --> 00:11:44.360
<v Speaker 3>but ultimately and without.

222
00:11:45.639 --> 00:11:46.879
<v Speaker 4>The sentiment behind it.

223
00:11:47.320 --> 00:11:51.480
<v Speaker 3>And look, Brian Smester will continue to be your uh,

224
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:55.360
<v Speaker 3>your villain and you know you want to use me

225
00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:57.679
<v Speaker 3>as motivation, that's totally fine, but I just don't think

226
00:11:57.679 --> 00:12:00.000
<v Speaker 3>that they'll get it done against the La Galaxy Eli Galax.

227
00:12:00.159 --> 00:12:03.519
<v Speaker 3>It was fantastic. They have fifteen goals in the playoffs.

228
00:12:03.559 --> 00:12:08.399
<v Speaker 3>They seem unstoppable. You saw Gabriel Peck. No one can

229
00:12:08.440 --> 00:12:10.519
<v Speaker 3>seem to hold him down. He was the road runner

230
00:12:10.559 --> 00:12:13.000
<v Speaker 3>baby on the right side. I mean, it was unbelievable

231
00:12:13.240 --> 00:12:16.360
<v Speaker 3>what he could do that that goal that he is

232
00:12:16.519 --> 00:12:18.639
<v Speaker 3>I don't know, sixty yards of a run and then

233
00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.480
<v Speaker 3>go ahead and puts it away. Three players with braces,

234
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:26.240
<v Speaker 3>three players with braces. I mean, come on, that that

235
00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:30.960
<v Speaker 3>is out of this world. Joevilych paincil pack all with braces,

236
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:33.960
<v Speaker 3>Ricky doing his thing to moving the strings.

237
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:35.360
<v Speaker 4>I just think it's too much.

238
00:12:36.679 --> 00:12:40.080
<v Speaker 3>Now, that doesn't mean that Seattle cannot pull that miracle,

239
00:12:40.120 --> 00:12:44.039
<v Speaker 3>because this could be a catch game for Seattle. I

240
00:12:44.080 --> 00:12:46.600
<v Speaker 3>don't know if you guys have seen my Twitter and

241
00:12:46.720 --> 00:12:51.240
<v Speaker 3>the quote by Ovid bargains that Atha was fantastic. I

242
00:12:51.279 --> 00:12:56.320
<v Speaker 3>spoke to Ovid about dealing with a midfield like La Galaxies,

243
00:12:56.360 --> 00:13:02.639
<v Speaker 3>and it's talented with guys like Rails and Royce and

244
00:13:03.519 --> 00:13:06.399
<v Speaker 3>Ricky Pooch, and he said, look, those guys are talented, absolutely,

245
00:13:06.440 --> 00:13:07.919
<v Speaker 3>but you got to be physical with them. You gotta

246
00:13:07.919 --> 00:13:10.639
<v Speaker 3>be behind them. You got to picture that you're bothering them.

247
00:13:10.679 --> 00:13:12.720
<v Speaker 4>Right. He's telling me all these things, and he says,

248
00:13:13.240 --> 00:13:13.840
<v Speaker 4>I plan.

249
00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:16.399
<v Speaker 3>To be a plague, A plan to be a loose

250
00:13:16.480 --> 00:13:19.360
<v Speaker 3>on them that does not let them be free or

251
00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:22.480
<v Speaker 3>play free. I mean, man, that that is freaking golden.

252
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:24.240
<v Speaker 3>That's the attitude, that's the way you do it. So

253
00:13:25.120 --> 00:13:27.639
<v Speaker 3>the team's gonna have the right attitude, they're gonna have

254
00:13:28.240 --> 00:13:30.080
<v Speaker 3>all of the belief they're gonna.

255
00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:30.879
<v Speaker 4>Want to get over in this game.

256
00:13:30.919 --> 00:13:32.840
<v Speaker 3>But I just think the LA Galaxy are a little

257
00:13:32.840 --> 00:13:35.360
<v Speaker 3>bit too much for them. I think it'll be a

258
00:13:35.399 --> 00:13:38.960
<v Speaker 3>close game all the way to a certain point where

259
00:13:39.399 --> 00:13:43.720
<v Speaker 3>maybe the LA Galaxy goes up two, goes to one

260
00:13:44.720 --> 00:13:46.919
<v Speaker 3>midway through the second half, and the Seattle has to

261
00:13:46.919 --> 00:13:50.159
<v Speaker 3>push numbers to get that game done. And when you

262
00:13:50.200 --> 00:13:53.320
<v Speaker 3>give space to a team like LA Galaxy, you might

263
00:13:53.360 --> 00:13:55.399
<v Speaker 3>suffer another one. I have a three to one win

264
00:13:55.840 --> 00:13:59.639
<v Speaker 3>for the LA Galaxy against the Seattle Sounders, but you know,

265
00:13:59.679 --> 00:14:02.120
<v Speaker 3>all the wrong by a team that has a lot

266
00:14:02.159 --> 00:14:05.639
<v Speaker 3>of pride and that has identity to win in the

267
00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:09.000
<v Speaker 3>plows and look, hopefully they will shut me up and

268
00:14:09.039 --> 00:14:12.360
<v Speaker 3>they will prove me wrong. But with all those absences,

269
00:14:12.799 --> 00:14:15.720
<v Speaker 3>and even if you knew who is available, I mean,

270
00:14:15.799 --> 00:14:18.679
<v Speaker 3>he hasn't practiced with the group all week? Who wasn't

271
00:14:18.720 --> 00:14:20.879
<v Speaker 3>practice with the group a week? So how do you

272
00:14:20.919 --> 00:14:22.440
<v Speaker 3>get him in there? How do you put him in there?

273
00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:24.559
<v Speaker 3>I think it's gonna be a tough game for the

274
00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:26.080
<v Speaker 3>Seattle Sounders.

275
00:14:25.679 --> 00:14:27.039
<v Speaker 1>All right before you get out of here.

276
00:14:27.360 --> 00:14:29.840
<v Speaker 2>And I know that you've got other coverage with other places,

277
00:14:29.840 --> 00:14:31.720
<v Speaker 2>and you've got to save your pipes and have your

278
00:14:32.000 --> 00:14:34.000
<v Speaker 2>get through your a cup of coffee number one, and

279
00:14:34.039 --> 00:14:37.360
<v Speaker 2>get you a cup of coffee number two. If these

280
00:14:37.399 --> 00:14:43.639
<v Speaker 2>three or four absences are as you anticipate, then what

281
00:14:43.799 --> 00:14:46.200
<v Speaker 2>would you think the starting eleven is going to look

282
00:14:46.279 --> 00:14:50.200
<v Speaker 2>like for Seattle? And why would it not be one

283
00:14:50.240 --> 00:14:53.919
<v Speaker 2>of those situations where Brian Schmitzer just turns it into

284
00:14:53.960 --> 00:14:57.000
<v Speaker 2>a staring contest for ninety minutes, and it's just like, now,

285
00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.120
<v Speaker 2>I'm gonna let you have the ball, we're gonna defend,

286
00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:00.879
<v Speaker 2>We're going to do our thing for ninety minutes, and

287
00:15:00.879 --> 00:15:02.720
<v Speaker 2>we're going to force you to make mistakes.

288
00:15:04.320 --> 00:15:06.399
<v Speaker 3>So with new who's a lot easier with new Who's

289
00:15:06.639 --> 00:15:08.879
<v Speaker 3>a back line of four and it's new Who on

290
00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:12.399
<v Speaker 3>the On the left side, you got Jackson Reagan and

291
00:15:12.759 --> 00:15:15.919
<v Speaker 3>I think it'll be Jay Bell at center back with

292
00:15:16.080 --> 00:15:17.240
<v Speaker 3>Alex Rogan on the right.

293
00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:19.080
<v Speaker 4>The rest is almost the same.

294
00:15:19.200 --> 00:15:21.639
<v Speaker 3>You get O bet, you get Christian and the wholeding

295
00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:24.519
<v Speaker 3>Mint on the left side, I think you get better

296
00:15:24.559 --> 00:15:29.320
<v Speaker 3>than La Vega at cam Albert Rusnak. On the right

297
00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:33.120
<v Speaker 3>side you get Georgie, a guy that's young but that

298
00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:35.639
<v Speaker 3>has done it over and over again. I think he's

299
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.879
<v Speaker 3>your guy. And then you go Jordan Morris up top.

300
00:15:38.360 --> 00:15:40.879
<v Speaker 3>Now where he gets tricky is that without new Who,

301
00:15:41.320 --> 00:15:44.360
<v Speaker 3>there isn't really a wing left back or a left

302
00:15:44.360 --> 00:15:45.200
<v Speaker 3>back for that matter.

303
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:48.120
<v Speaker 4>So the reason.

304
00:15:47.840 --> 00:15:49.840
<v Speaker 3>Why I don't think that he wants to just give

305
00:15:50.039 --> 00:15:53.279
<v Speaker 3>the ball to La Galaxy and just drop in is

306
00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:56.840
<v Speaker 3>because LAFC had proven that they'd rather not have the ball.

307
00:15:56.879 --> 00:15:58.840
<v Speaker 3>They want to play against the run to play La

308
00:15:58.960 --> 00:16:01.480
<v Speaker 3>g they do it both ways. They got two masters

309
00:16:01.559 --> 00:16:05.279
<v Speaker 3>with the ball and Ricky and Michael Royce, so Marcus

310
00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:09.399
<v Speaker 3>Marco Royce, so giving him the ball might play to

311
00:16:09.559 --> 00:16:11.639
<v Speaker 3>their strength as well. So I just don't think he

312
00:16:11.639 --> 00:16:13.440
<v Speaker 3>wants to do that. I think he wants to make

313
00:16:13.720 --> 00:16:17.960
<v Speaker 3>la g defend. He's gonna want to have Ricky running around.

314
00:16:18.039 --> 00:16:21.440
<v Speaker 3>It's gonna want to have Roy's running around. He's gonna

315
00:16:21.440 --> 00:16:23.600
<v Speaker 3>want to make Gabriel peck a little bit farther back.

316
00:16:23.639 --> 00:16:26.600
<v Speaker 3>You cannot allow your mona to get forward as much

317
00:16:26.600 --> 00:16:28.480
<v Speaker 3>as he can, So how do you stop that by

318
00:16:28.519 --> 00:16:30.080
<v Speaker 3>giving him something to think about?

319
00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.159
<v Speaker 4>On that side? So I think he's gonna want to

320
00:16:32.159 --> 00:16:33.279
<v Speaker 4>play a little bit higher.

321
00:16:33.600 --> 00:16:33.759
<v Speaker 1>Uh.

322
00:16:33.799 --> 00:16:35.679
<v Speaker 3>He kind of mentioned the fact that he doesn't want

323
00:16:35.679 --> 00:16:38.120
<v Speaker 3>to just go to Carson and just said he wants

324
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.679
<v Speaker 3>to attack. So because of that, I think that he

325
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:44.120
<v Speaker 3>does want to do that, but without new it's difficult.

326
00:16:44.679 --> 00:16:48.799
<v Speaker 3>So that Eleven, I don't. I don't really have it

327
00:16:48.840 --> 00:16:52.559
<v Speaker 3>for you, man, I really don't. Because let's say you

328
00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:55.279
<v Speaker 3>go with the back line of three that that's possibly

329
00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.440
<v Speaker 3>what I would do if I don't have my best

330
00:16:57.480 --> 00:17:02.039
<v Speaker 3>players it's j Bell, Jackson, Reagan and Nathan.

331
00:17:02.759 --> 00:17:05.079
<v Speaker 4>Then on the left side, you gotta make a choice.

332
00:17:05.119 --> 00:17:07.880
<v Speaker 3>What I would do is that I would put Jordan

333
00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:11.599
<v Speaker 3>Morris to play left wing back and go Saba time

334
00:17:11.720 --> 00:17:14.920
<v Speaker 3>type of situation where I'm having a guy just run around,

335
00:17:14.920 --> 00:17:18.559
<v Speaker 3>do a whole lot and give me with but preventing

336
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:21.119
<v Speaker 3>us from some defending because he has that that motor

337
00:17:21.200 --> 00:17:22.079
<v Speaker 3>Jordan Morris does.

338
00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:25.279
<v Speaker 4>Usually Paul Rothrock would be a guy like that, but

339
00:17:25.359 --> 00:17:25.839
<v Speaker 4>you don't have that.

340
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:28.000
<v Speaker 3>You don't got to Baker White, and you're not going

341
00:17:28.039 --> 00:17:31.599
<v Speaker 3>to put a young guy uh in that position like

342
00:17:31.680 --> 00:17:34.119
<v Speaker 3>Cody Baker, so it has to be it has to

343
00:17:34.119 --> 00:17:39.160
<v Speaker 3>be Jordan's. Then up top, Uh, Well, let's go midfield,

344
00:17:39.640 --> 00:17:43.559
<v Speaker 3>you go Albert Christian Obed.

345
00:17:46.839 --> 00:17:57.119
<v Speaker 5>And maybe on the well, actually you know, you go

346
00:17:57.240 --> 00:17:59.039
<v Speaker 5>JP and you go.

347
00:18:00.400 --> 00:18:04.279
<v Speaker 4>Oh bet, and then on the on that say, you

348
00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:05.680
<v Speaker 4>could also add Christian Rodan.

349
00:18:05.799 --> 00:18:07.559
<v Speaker 3>Then you got on the right wing back you go

350
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.240
<v Speaker 3>Alice Rodan, and then on top of you go Raoul Ridiez.

351
00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:14.079
<v Speaker 3>I think that's the way you might be able to

352
00:18:14.119 --> 00:18:17.000
<v Speaker 3>set it up if you need to. But know who's

353
00:18:17.000 --> 00:18:19.079
<v Speaker 3>going to be a huge component there because this team

354
00:18:19.119 --> 00:18:22.480
<v Speaker 3>does not have another player is gonna come in on

355
00:18:22.519 --> 00:18:24.799
<v Speaker 3>that left side to be a left wing back or

356
00:18:24.839 --> 00:18:27.039
<v Speaker 3>a left back. So it's gonna be very difficult for

357
00:18:27.039 --> 00:18:29.440
<v Speaker 3>Shadow if he cannot go all right.

358
00:18:29.480 --> 00:18:31.759
<v Speaker 2>Hit the promo for me and let me know where

359
00:18:31.799 --> 00:18:33.559
<v Speaker 2>you're gonna be and what you're doing, and if you're

360
00:18:33.559 --> 00:18:35.720
<v Speaker 2>going to be back on Q thirteen this weekend too.

361
00:18:36.960 --> 00:18:41.160
<v Speaker 3>We hope to definitely so followupus to sports. We're going

362
00:18:41.200 --> 00:18:44.400
<v Speaker 3>to be back on on Monday. No show today because

363
00:18:44.440 --> 00:18:47.160
<v Speaker 3>we did the show yesterday, So Monday we're going to

364
00:18:47.240 --> 00:18:50.160
<v Speaker 3>be doing the recap of how everything broke down. Either

365
00:18:50.640 --> 00:18:53.359
<v Speaker 3>we look like geniuses or we look like big guys

366
00:18:53.359 --> 00:18:55.559
<v Speaker 3>with a you know, donkey hat on top.

367
00:18:56.200 --> 00:18:57.359
<v Speaker 4>We'll see how that plays out.

368
00:18:57.920 --> 00:19:04.279
<v Speaker 3>And we do have a planned show with ninety three

369
00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:07.400
<v Speaker 3>point three KJR local stations, So go ahead and check

370
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:10.880
<v Speaker 3>that out. That's ran by Jackson Pelts. That's gonna be interesting.

371
00:19:11.440 --> 00:19:13.359
<v Speaker 3>Uh So, go ahead and check that out. Hopefully we're

372
00:19:13.400 --> 00:19:19.000
<v Speaker 3>back on Fox thirteen if possible, depending on how things

373
00:19:19.039 --> 00:19:21.960
<v Speaker 3>plays out. I would think that if they win, there's

374
00:19:21.960 --> 00:19:24.640
<v Speaker 3>a higher percentage than if they lose. Uh but yeah,

375
00:19:24.640 --> 00:19:27.200
<v Speaker 3>definitely just follow me at El Rollo andw go ahead

376
00:19:27.240 --> 00:19:30.119
<v Speaker 3>and keep you posted on everything that happens within that time.

377
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:32.119
<v Speaker 3>And now, even if the set of Thunders do lose,

378
00:19:32.240 --> 00:19:35.200
<v Speaker 3>I'm gonna go ahead and be their final en season conference.

379

<v Speaker 3>All of that I'll provide you and I'll start getting

380
00:19:38.559 --> 00:19:41.079

00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:43.000
<v Speaker 4>That's gonna be a big one.

383
00:19:43.039 --> 00:19:45.680
<v Speaker 3>What's gonna happen to JP who's still out of contract

384
