Speaker 1: Thursday thoughts here on SDH, and we got a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff to get into in the first half hour,
Speaker 1: so we can get to our guests. Starting in the
Speaker 1: second half hour, Daniel Sperry, who is the big soccer
Speaker 1: writer for the Kansas City Star, He's going to join
Speaker 1: us coming up at the bottom of the hour. We're
Speaker 1: going to talk about Peter Urmes, the fallout, vibe, what's
Speaker 1: going on in Kansas City. Then hour number two is
Speaker 1: the power Hour, as it always is. Nico is going
Speaker 1: to join us at ten thirty, and our buddy Nino
Speaker 1: Torres is going to join us and go fully loaded
Speaker 1: coming up at ten o'clock. And I imagine there's going
Speaker 1: to be a lot of Robertadora's talk. There's going to
Speaker 1: be a lot of a lot of the things that
Speaker 1: are going on here when it comes to of course,
Speaker 1: so you know, you try, and you know, it's like,
Speaker 1: look all I want all I really want, you know,
Speaker 1: when I hit it, when I hit a button, I
Speaker 1: want the devices to link.
Speaker 2: That's all I want. You know.
Speaker 1: It's like there I'm linking devices because traditionally when I
Speaker 1: have a conversation with with Nino, it is through LinkedIn
Speaker 1: and I learned that. I learned that the hard way,
Speaker 1: and I learned that a long time ago. So sending
Speaker 1: the link Nino and so this way, what are we
Speaker 1: talking about? This am all right? So now Nino's in,
Speaker 1: he'll come up ten o'clock once again. Nico's going to
Speaker 1: join us at ten thirty. So I figure we'll go
Speaker 1: ahead and start with a little bit of what they
Speaker 1: referred to as this. So it broke in the last
Speaker 1: forty minutes or so. It looks like the United States
Speaker 1: is going to be getting a twenty thirty one Women's
Speaker 1: World Cup. And there is a clear path, as it
Speaker 1: was said this morning at the incredible, the incredibly important,
Speaker 1: majorly satisfactory General Assembly by the head of FIFA Johnny
Speaker 1: and Fentino, clear path for England and their bid to
Speaker 1: happen in twenty thirty five. So it was a UEFA
Speaker 1: Congress in Belgrade joint bid from England, scot and Wales
Speaker 1: Northern Island was the only valid bid of interest for
Speaker 1: twenty thirty five. After the deadline passed, US also putting
Speaker 1: forward the only bid for the thirty one edition. So
Speaker 1: Infantino saith quote as part of the bidding process we've
Speaker 1: received one bid for thirty one to one valid one
Speaker 1: bid valid bid, I should add for thirty five thirty
Speaker 1: one bid is from US, potentially some other CONCA CAF
Speaker 1: members together. So potentially other CONCA CAF members together. So
Speaker 1: right now don't know what the layout is, but the
Speaker 1: US is part of it. I think the Athletic is
Speaker 1: saying that it is a joint bid with US and Mexico,
Speaker 1: but according to Johnny and Fantino this morning, it is
Speaker 1: potentially other CONCA CAFF members and so thirty six bid
Speaker 1: from europe home nations. So the path of Women's World
Speaker 1: Cup taking place thirty one and thirty five some great
Speaker 1: countries and some great nations to boost even more the
Speaker 1: women's football movement. UK has never hosted a women's World Cup,
Speaker 1: hosted the euro back in twenty two, winning the tournament
Speaker 1: on home soil. Men's team last hosted the World Cup
Speaker 1: in nineteen sixty six. Twenty thirty five bid could pave
Speaker 1: the way for the men's team to host a subsequent edition,
Speaker 1: so that is where things are. Twenty thirty one looks
Speaker 1: like it's the US and potentially other CONCA CAFT members.
Speaker 1: Twenty thirty five one bid valid bid for the UK
Speaker 1: bid England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. So that is
Speaker 1: the larger element from what went down there. Will yeah,
Speaker 1: Will is in early this morning, and it's supposed to
Speaker 1: continue to be crazy meteorologically. As always, I hope everyone
Speaker 1: was safe.
Speaker 2: Last night. I was up.
Speaker 1: I admit that when it comes to severe weather, I'm
Speaker 1: always looking at at a lot of stations, and there
Speaker 1: was one particular YouTube channel that basically did a four
Speaker 1: box and it rotated the markets and so pretty much
Speaker 1: everything from Saint Louis to Dayton, Ohio, and Memphis and
Speaker 1: Southeast and up. I was watching a lot of that
Speaker 1: last night. That was watching a lot of Nashville televisions,
Speaker 1: just basically hoping everybody's okay. It is not the end
Speaker 1: of it. It is not the end of it today
Speaker 1: in the what it's not Upper it's the Upper Southeast,
Speaker 1: if you want to call it that. The Archlitects area's
Speaker 1: supposed to be pretty bad. They're supposed to be bad
Speaker 1: again in Tennessee. So obviously, just making sure that everybody's
Speaker 1: going to be okay and just look out for one
Speaker 1: another and be there for one another over the next
Speaker 1: couple days. It's supposed to be pretty rough in some
Speaker 1: sections here in the southeast and the upper Midwest and
Speaker 1: up in the rust Belt. So obviously yes morning local morning,

Speaker 1: gear because it's on this side of the Atlantic. I'm
Speaker 1: trying to think of what, oh, Finata, the Finati Coast program,
Speaker 1: what you can do for what do you do for
Speaker 1: ten bucks a year?
Speaker 2: What do you do for ten bucks a year?
Speaker 1: Well, for ten bucks a year you can be a

Speaker 1: that's your rundown of all the things that you can
Speaker 1: do and be a part of our Soccer for Good
Speaker 1: campaign and continue to roll from there. So all right, now,
Speaker 1: last night a couple of different things. I guess we'll
Speaker 1: start late night. For those of you who might not
Speaker 1: have had the opportunity to watch it, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you saw, first and foremost the social media account
Speaker 1: for one of the clubs that was active in the
Speaker 1: Conka cab Hemispheric Extravaganza. Yesterday, Vancouver and Pumas had a
Speaker 1: won one drop. Ryan White scored in the seventy first
Speaker 1: and then Cococatta ski a scord in eighty seven. So
Speaker 1: leg one Vancouver and Pumas they held serve it's going
Speaker 1: to be a tall older going to Pumas.
Speaker 2: But Vancouver's done on the road before.
Speaker 1: So you had the other matchup late late late late
Speaker 1: later than late. And I don't know if you saw
Speaker 1: it's it was LAFC and Messi and Friends and I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw.
Speaker 2: And I guess this really is opening kickoff.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you saw the social media account
Speaker 1: for Messi and Friends yesterday. They decided that what they
Speaker 1: wanted to do was place a Messian Friends jersey the front,
Speaker 1: the one with the I think with the ship the
Speaker 1: ship chain they wanted to place, and they went ahead
Speaker 1: and did it. They placed a Messy and Friends pink
Speaker 1: jersey on the Kobe Bryant statue. They thought that they
Speaker 1: should do that if you thought that you weren't messing
Speaker 1: with any kind of juju, karma or luck one way
Speaker 1: or the other. You come into town, you come into town,
Speaker 1: you shake your hands, you do your business, you turn
Speaker 1: around and leave. But Messy and Friends on their social
Speaker 1: media decided that they wanted to hang a jersey on
Speaker 1: the Kobe Bryant statue. You want to bring in cheap pete,
Speaker 1: You've brought in cha pete in a biblical manner. You're
Speaker 1: gonna hang a jersey on the Kobe Bryant statue. I
Speaker 1: don't know who thought that was a good idea. You
Speaker 1: don't step on Superman's cape. You did that yesterday in
Speaker 1: Los Angeles. You lose one nil. Nathan Orde has scored
Speaker 1: in the fifty seventh minute. So LAFC in the first
Speaker 1: leg of the quarters has a one nil advantaged no
Speaker 1: road goals, one nil win and so now they get
Speaker 1: to go to the erector set for leg number two
Speaker 1: in the quarters.
Speaker 2: So you had that happen yesterday.
Speaker 1: So Vancouver Pumas won one draw first leg of the quarters,
Speaker 1: LAFC leg up in the quarters with a one nil win.
Speaker 2: Now I and then.
Speaker 1: Last night Open Cup, and I'm gonna go through a
Speaker 1: lot of the other scores, but I'm gonna build up
Speaker 1: to one of the games. Bet you can't guess which one.
Speaker 1: I know it's not because of the red card that
Speaker 1: was coming from the player from off the field. In
Speaker 1: one of the other matches, Loud and doubled Virginia Dream
Speaker 1: four to two. Portland Hearts of Pine advanced a p
Speaker 1: hot beat for Hertford Athletic in Lewiston Main last night
Speaker 1: four two in penalty. So Portland Heart's a Pine advance one.
Speaker 1: Knox put three on Greenville in Furman Zara costas Doyle
Speaker 1: and DNA. It was two nil, and then Greenville scored
Speaker 1: with ropapamns in the fifty fifth to make it two
Speaker 1: to one. Then they scored at ninety plus five. Game
Speaker 1: finished ten v ten by the way, so one Knox advanced.
Speaker 1: West Chester hung on against Pansiprian Freedoms. I know what
Speaker 1: KEPSI was watching early on. So it ended up with
Speaker 1: three goals on the board for west Chester out of
Speaker 1: the blocks, and then New York Panzipprian Freedom scored in
Speaker 1: the fifty fourth and ninety plus one couldn't quite get
Speaker 1: it to the equalizer at Mount Vernon, so Westchester advance.
Speaker 1: FC Naples shut out Little Rock Rangers three nil. FC
Speaker 1: Tulsa beat Forward Madison at Breeze Stevens three to one.
Speaker 1: Union Omaha beat Des Moines Menace two to one Asasha
Speaker 1: Question gets a red with twenty one to go, and
Speaker 1: Ta com A Defiance Late beat Spokane Velocity two to one.
Speaker 1: El Paso Locomotive no problem with Ventura County three nil.
Speaker 1: The draw for the next round, round three happens at
Speaker 1: one o'clock this afternoon, and it's going to be on
Speaker 1: the Colossal network, So for anybody that wants to watch.
Speaker 1: You got paramount, plus you've got golosso you've got I
Speaker 1: think two B is where you can watch. So the
Speaker 1: draw comes out at one o'clock this afternoon with all
Speaker 1: the survivors from this go round, and then you end
Speaker 1: up with the new round for round three. I'm building
Speaker 1: up to a purpose. Chattanooga FC and Chattanoga Red Wolves
Speaker 1: last night. Omar Hernandez scored in the seventh minute to
Speaker 1: make it one nil. Red Wolves Daniel Mangarov scored to
Speaker 1: tie it at one. They go to penns. Red Wolves
Speaker 1: advanced five to four, even after they thought on the
Speaker 1: initial in round four with an Ethan Dudley penalty kick
Speaker 1: that was saved. The keeper was apparently off his line,
Speaker 1: and if he was, it was very very close. It's
Speaker 1: one of those things that you've got to just kind
Speaker 1: of sit there and go frame by frame and try
Speaker 1: and rewind the tape. But Ethan Dudley's penalty in the
Speaker 1: fourth saved retaken, made got to the fifth and then
Speaker 1: Chattanooga advanced five to four. In PKS hot crowd last night.
Speaker 1: No real surprise from anyone in this footprint. Just north
Speaker 1: of twelve thousand folks showed up at Fort Finley. They
Speaker 1: had sold six thousand going into this week. Twelve thousand
Speaker 1: and one sixty one I think was the number fourth.
Speaker 1: I think it was the fourth highest attendance figure. For
Speaker 1: tournament's sake, you had an ish ton of yellows. You
Speaker 1: had sarsarw Ibarra Garvangyan, Minja Kwak on a hard tackle
Speaker 1: late Mangarov, Callum Watson and Yakopovich should have gotten a yellow,
Speaker 1: but he didn't with all of his shenanigans. And he
Speaker 1: was playing for anybody that listened to the matchup with
Speaker 1: CHATANOOGAFC and Atlanta United two did the same thing in
Speaker 1: PKS four days ago. Now he's sitting there, it's like
Speaker 1: it's not on his line. He's got to do this,
Speaker 1: he's got to do this, all that kind of stuff.
Speaker 1: So Manngarov missed for chattanoogev C. He was saved off
Speaker 1: the top. Then the other four made the but in
Speaker 1: the in the fifth Ohen Green scored for red Wolves
Speaker 1: five to four and pens four nine yellow cards in
Speaker 1: the match, four for chattanoogev C, five for red Wolves.
Speaker 1: Crowd no real surprise ninety minute draw, by the way,
Speaker 1: was a plus two point thirty under two and a
Speaker 1: half of minus one oh five possession about two thirds
Speaker 1: to chat NEUGEFC. Seven shots on goal, twenty five shot
Speaker 1: attempts total both teams thirteen, So thirteen yellow cards my mistake,
Speaker 1: and I think a lot of that happened in the
Speaker 1: pushing and shoving and the fracas. So thirteen yellow cards
Speaker 1: issued last night once again, no real surprise, but hot crowd,
Speaker 1: what we expected.
Speaker 2: And I love in.
Speaker 1: The I love in the stat recap over at the
Speaker 1: four letter you know where you're looking to, like last
Speaker 1: five matches and so on, head to head record, no
Speaker 1: previous meetings between these two sides.
Speaker 2: It's because they hate each other. They hate each other.
Speaker 1: And that was I mean for Finley Stadium to host
Speaker 1: twelve one sixty one and to open up the visitor side,
Speaker 1: the far side of the side, away from the press
Speaker 1: box where the Red Wolves fans ended up on the
Speaker 1: far side. Chattanooga FC, you had the berm filled, you
Speaker 1: had the flags up, and after the match was over,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you, I don't know how long everybody,
Speaker 1: I don't know how long everybody stayed. If you were
Speaker 1: watching Chattanooga FC and Red Wolves last night. I don't
Speaker 1: know how long you stayed during the recap of the
Speaker 1: action while the feed was still up, But Red Wolves
Speaker 1: fans took a flag and planted it at the center
Speaker 1: of Fort Finley in the center circle. Security was nowhere
Speaker 1: to be found. I don't know where the yellow jackets were.
Speaker 1: I don't know if they were trying to keep folks
Speaker 1: from coming onto the field, I don't know. It looked
Speaker 1: like a situation from what people were looking at on
Speaker 1: the youtubes that there weren't a whole lot of yellow
Speaker 1: jackets there, or if they were, they were hidden very
Speaker 1: well and they were in strategic locations. But and when
Speaker 1: the match was over, you have someone with a Red
Speaker 1: Wolves flag run to the center circle and plant it.
Speaker 1: And that wasn't the only one. That was not the
Speaker 1: only flag that got planted. You had multiple flags planted
Speaker 1: in a matchup that was crazy last night, absolutely crazy.
Speaker 2: But anyway.
Speaker 1: You ended up with that last night, absolute craziness. Once again,
Speaker 1: those of us that know what Chattanoogae FC and Red
Speaker 1: Wolves all of the history and the depth of this
Speaker 1: two teams, one city, so Chattanooga is read after what
Speaker 1: happened last night? Now, the other element in the room,
Speaker 1: what happened last night in open cup Union Omaha knocking
Speaker 1: off De Moin menez And we'd mentioned that Sasha Question
Speaker 1: with twenty one minutes to go got a red from
Speaker 1: the bench and it is reports vary as to what
Speaker 1: was going on, so I don't have to look at it,
Speaker 1: but it was over on the far side of the
Speaker 1: field and it had to do with a coming together
Speaker 1: of a Union Omaha player and a bench player for
Speaker 1: Des Moines Menace, and there might have been some contact
Speaker 1: between the Union Omaha player and Question. No cards given
Speaker 1: at the time, and so then that's what uh, you know,
Speaker 1: it exists. The video does exist, so we'll see what
Speaker 1: what went down. But anyway, you ended up with a
Speaker 1: you ended up with the uh des Moin Menace getting
Speaker 1: bounced and it was a very very busy night in
Speaker 1: open cup. So the times for tonight's action tombs in
Speaker 1: Hebrew Christian five thirty seven, thirty Dutchtown Trinity Christian six
Speaker 1: and eight.
Speaker 2: So we'll see, uh, we'll see what it looks like.
Speaker 1: But apparently Asasha was standing up for a teammate from
Speaker 1: what I understand, and we'll have to look at it
Speaker 1: and you know, get get down to it. But you
Speaker 1: have the video does exist, and so we have to
Speaker 1: kind of analyze it. We might have to suffruit of
Speaker 1: what was going on. But uh des moin Menace made
Speaker 1: it to the second round, lost to those Buhos, the
Speaker 1: murder Owls, and the activity in the Open Cup is
Speaker 1: we'll know more coming up at one o'clock Eastern time
Speaker 1: and then matchups for round three or announced once again
Speaker 1: on Glossal Network. So that was that was fun. It
Speaker 1: was it was crazy. We anticipated nothing else and so
Speaker 1: Conka Camp Champions Cup did not disappoints from the juju perspective.
Speaker 1: Open Cup did not disappoint from the chaos perspective. And
Speaker 1: we'll get into ROBERTADORUS and all the other things coming
Speaker 1: up in just a little bit. Okay, what we wanted
Speaker 1: to do, we wanted to find out what in the
Speaker 1: wide world of sports is going on in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: And to do that we go to one of our oracles,
Speaker 1: our our main Kansas City oracle, and we get to
Speaker 1: catch up with Daniel Sperry and find out what in
Speaker 1: the heck is going on there now with a legend
Speaker 1: now mutually parting ways with the organization, so we bring
Speaker 1: Daniel in.
Speaker 2: Daniel Sperry, what up?
Speaker 3: How are we doing? Man?
Speaker 2: You tell me you're the busy one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're a busy one. It's been a crazy week.
Speaker 3: It's been a crazy week. I tell you that.
Speaker 2: How crazy is it?
Speaker 3: How crazy is it? Yeah? We it's one of those.
Speaker 3: It's kind of funny. I had made some jokes at
Speaker 3: some point when the things were going bad, like what
Speaker 3: comes first, our newborn or a Sporting win? And the
Speaker 3: newborn has won, so that she came early, so that's
Speaker 3: she kind of cheated a little bit. But yeah, man,
Speaker 3: it's been it's been a crazy week here in Kansas City.
Speaker 3: Won for me personally too. She decided to come on
Speaker 3: the day that Sporting parted ways with their longest tenured
Speaker 3: manager ever. So it's been. Like I said, it's been
Speaker 3: a wild week here. But yeah, man, things on the
Speaker 3: soccer side in Kansas City have been interesting to start
Speaker 3: this year, and I think there was a lot of
Speaker 3: hope and optimism, especially with some of the new signings
Speaker 3: at the beginning of the year. But as the results came,
Speaker 3: the pressure. As the results didn't come, pressure ramped up right,
Speaker 3: and I think the dam finally broke in that regard,
Speaker 3: because you know, twenty three was mainly saved by a
Speaker 3: pretty dramatic and unrealistic and unsustainable turnaround that was really
Speaker 3: fun to watch but probably wasn't gonna happen again. And
Speaker 3: you know, that's sandwich by twenty two and twenty four,
Speaker 3: which were pretty disappointing. And to start out like this,
Speaker 3: it's a recipe for what you get.
Speaker 1: I know that over the last couple of years we've
Speaker 1: been kind of looking at it Sporting and it's like, okay,
Speaker 1: bad start, they make some summer transfer window, you know, pickups,
Speaker 1: and then here they come. Here comes Zombie Sporting at
Speaker 1: a lane eight and they make it into the playoffs
Speaker 1: and they make a run. You know, it's yeah, it's
Speaker 1: like something happens and you're behind the eight ball, the
Speaker 1: proverbial eight ball, and then something happens and you make
Speaker 1: the race in and then everything goes crazy. And it
Speaker 1: just seemed like up down, down, up down, up down,
Speaker 1: And what was the patience level of the fans the
Speaker 1: last couple of years where you had all of these
Speaker 1: waves and ebbs and flows, and yes, things would finish,
Speaker 1: but you'd always you'd have to put up with that,
Speaker 1: the rough start, and then you make that race to
Speaker 1: get in What was the what was the vibe from
Speaker 1: the fans the last couple of years.
Speaker 2: Taking this season apart.
Speaker 1: For a second question, but what was the vibe with
Speaker 1: all of the ups and downs coming into this year?
Speaker 3: Yeah, after after twenty one, I think, you know, there
Speaker 3: were probably a correct handball decision away from finishing top
Speaker 3: spot in the West, you know, and maybe not having
Speaker 3: to play an RSL who knocked him out of the
Speaker 3: playoffs wouldn't have been in the playoffs if all that
Speaker 3: stuff had gone correct. So that was a funky one.
Speaker 3: And then you have the Alan Palito injury and Gotty
Speaker 3: kinda injured and they think he might be out, you know,
Speaker 3: for just a little bit, and then it turns out
Speaker 3: to be the whole season and they never bring anybody in,
Speaker 3: you know. Twenty three, they finally get those guys back
Speaker 3: healthy and things are rolling. But there's that stretch after
Speaker 3: twenty two. People kind of understood and excused the injuries
Speaker 3: and they were like it was the feeling of like,
Speaker 3: I don't think we're ready to move on from Peter yet,
Speaker 3: but there was still some like, look, if things don't
Speaker 3: go well, we got to start asking questions, kind of
Speaker 3: a vibe from I think the fan base. And then
Speaker 3: those first ten games happened in twenty twenty three where
Speaker 3: they didn't pick up a win and there was, you know,
Speaker 3: three three draws over ten games was all they had accrued,
Speaker 3: three draws, three goals through ten games, and the fans
Speaker 3: were starting to get restless, and you were hearing you know,
Speaker 3: Vermes out chance. People were starting to bring signs and
Speaker 3: stuff like that, and that you know it, they made
Speaker 3: the miraculous recover. It led to probably one of the
Speaker 3: coolest and most electric moments I felt at Children's Mercy Park.
Speaker 3: I wasn't here for any of the of the you
Speaker 3: know MLS Cup stuff, but I was here for the
Speaker 3: Open Cup final in twenty seventeen and that was really cool.
Speaker 3: But I think that win over Saint Louis in the playoffs,
Speaker 3: especially the home win. The loud noise that came from
Speaker 3: that goal is one of the it's still goosebumps. It
Speaker 3: was one of the loudest moments I've heard at that stadium,
Speaker 3: if not the loudest, and the reaction to that, the
Speaker 3: goal that kind of opened the damn. So you have
Speaker 3: this like really high moment here in twenty twenty three
Speaker 3: and they lose got a kinda going into twenty twenty four,
Speaker 3: and they never replace him, and so there, you know,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of injuries, the teams get a little
Speaker 3: bit older, and some things just weren't quite clicking at
Speaker 3: all last year, and they kind of piecemealed it and
Speaker 3: had a decent summer run through the Open Cup, but
Speaker 3: once they lost the Open Cup final, they really didn't
Speaker 3: win another game from there on, and it was very downtrodden,
Speaker 3: and I think fans really were kind of like, Okay,
Speaker 3: like we understand you're telling us it's a rebuild. They've
Speaker 3: told them, you know it's going to take three windows
Speaker 3: to rebuild this team. Well that's a really long time
Speaker 3: in soccer. And so I think my question personally was
Speaker 3: whether or not they were the result, because to me,
Speaker 3: the result lineup was there for when you dismiss a
Speaker 3: manager and a lot of other scenarios and a lot
Speaker 3: of other places I think he doesn't even start this year,
Speaker 3: and so it was one of those like Okay, how
Speaker 3: long is the leash and what does it even though
Speaker 3: they've committed, they've said, we're going to allow Peter to rebuild.
Speaker 3: We've committed to this. So is six games when they
Speaker 3: finally cut bait with a project that if the project
Speaker 3: is how long they say it is, it's kind of
Speaker 3: in its infancy, and so was That was my whole
Speaker 3: question in this. But I also think there's a point
Speaker 3: too where if you're if you're the whole job here
Speaker 3: is to win and welcome to professional sports, and if
Speaker 3: you're not getting wins, and the windless run extends so
Speaker 3: far back into twenty twenty four that it does, then
Speaker 3: I think that's kind of how that's kind of how
Speaker 3: we got here.
Speaker 1: How bad was it this season with Sporting with no goals,
Speaker 1: no wins?
Speaker 2: How bad did it look?
Speaker 3: It at times looked like there was something there, but
Speaker 3: nothing was like clicking into the final thing. And I
Speaker 3: think that if you go back and watch the game
Speaker 3: against Dallas, they didn't look that bad. Really they didn't.
Speaker 3: And they they had some they weren't creating amazing chances,
Speaker 3: but they were. They were in and around, they were active,
Speaker 3: they were doing stuff, and you know, they have a
Speaker 3: couple of defensive frailties that concedes the goals and they
Speaker 3: lose over a two minute period, loses them the game
Speaker 3: when they were thoroughly dominant and really kind of heavily
Speaker 3: you know, attacking in that game. And I but there
Speaker 3: were times there too where the first half of the
Speaker 3: of that three three draw against Minnesota, I thought they
Speaker 3: looked dead in the water. I thought they looked dead
Speaker 3: in the water with their game against LAFC. There were
Speaker 3: some other games where I thought they were kind of
Speaker 3: in it, but I didn't ever really think they were
Speaker 3: doing enough that was going to win them a game.
Speaker 3: And so it was kind of this like patience point
Speaker 3: of like, Okay, we're we're a month into this season.
Speaker 3: Now you finally have had a few training sessions with
Speaker 3: your guys, and it doesn't look better. And that's and
Speaker 3: I think that that was probably the taking point for
Speaker 3: the ownership too, where they started coming around training sessions,
Speaker 3: you know, over the last couple of weeks, to take
Speaker 3: a look at what was going on and see if
Speaker 3: that if a change needed to be made, and ultimately
Speaker 3: that's the decision they did.
Speaker 1: I will admit that we were looking at a match
Speaker 1: when Kansas City was sporting Kansas City was down three nil.
Speaker 1: We thought they were dead in the water. Then all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, three goals in twelve minutes and you're like, whoa, Okay,
Speaker 1: then there's some there's something there there. But then that
Speaker 1: you don't continue that kind of momentum.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that that loss to l a f C.
Speaker 3: I think was the one that for me, like, you
Speaker 3: have that game against Minnesota and you're like, okay, cool,
Speaker 3: like there's some as sign of life. And they followed
Speaker 3: it up with a big dud against a team in
Speaker 3: l a FC that at the time looked vulnerable, They
Speaker 3: looked gettable with the way things had gone for their season,
Speaker 3: and so you know, they never really threatened them at
Speaker 3: all on the attack. They were probably lucky to not
Speaker 3: concede more. They were getting run through the middle of
Speaker 3: the field, and you know, that's been an area that
Speaker 3: sporting has had a lot of issues. And I feel like,
Speaker 3: you know, you and I both know the sport well.
Speaker 3: If you're getting run over in the middle of the field,
Speaker 3: you're not going to win a lot of games. If
Speaker 3: your spine is the problem, you're not going to win
Speaker 3: a lot of games. And that's kind of that's just
Speaker 3: kind of how it was and you really thought, you know,
Speaker 3: the player, I'll say this, the player vibe has never
Speaker 3: been bad per se, but I it's just one of
Speaker 3: those like you can see the frustration, you can see
Speaker 3: confidence at times waiting or you know, coming back in it,
Speaker 3: and it just it was one of those situations that
Speaker 3: like you really you really needed them if you were,
Speaker 3: if you were gonna feel confident about where they're going
Speaker 3: after that to get some sort of result or look
Speaker 3: a lot better against LAFC. But to follow up that
Speaker 3: three three draw with the dud like that was just
Speaker 3: kind of one of those big signs.
Speaker 1: I think Carrie's the Wagnin's now the the interim and
Speaker 1: he's going to be the man on the touch line
Speaker 1: for the foreseeable future. Your vibe on are they going
Speaker 1: to be looking for someone here in this year? Are
Speaker 1: they gonna sit there and wait and see who's available?
Speaker 1: I can't believe I'm saying this after six matches in
Speaker 1: a thirty four match schedule. Are they gonna wait until
Speaker 1: you know, November and see who's available?
Speaker 2: Or are there gonna Is it gonna be a big gun?
Speaker 1: Is it going to be a young guy who's gonna
Speaker 1: sit there and come in and go I see pieces here.
Speaker 1: I can work with this. Do you have any idea
Speaker 1: as to what the next step can be?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't. I don't know. And I think the
Speaker 3: other thing here is like that Peter technically held the
Speaker 3: chief soccer officer role too and for me and I
Speaker 3: think like for me, I think you get that guy
Speaker 3: in place before you get a manager. And because if
Speaker 3: it if you have someone up top, now that's going
Speaker 3: to be vision casting for that in that role in
Speaker 3: that organization, you got to have someone like they've got
Speaker 3: to be in line with the manager. And so what
Speaker 3: happens to like you you bring in a manager and
Speaker 3: then you bring in a CSO and then that CSA
Speaker 3: CSO doesn't like how his man, the manager, that he
Speaker 3: didn't take his doing, so he gets rid of him.
Speaker 3: I think Carrie. Carrie has been around the organization so long.
Speaker 3: I think it's a safe I think it he is
Speaker 3: a great interim for the safe for the way that
Speaker 3: it's it's safe in the in the fact that there
Speaker 3: won't be so much volatility while they try and go
Speaker 3: get a CSO. I don't think he'll be lockstep with
Speaker 3: the type of soccer necessarily that Vermes played. I don't think.
Speaker 3: I've never felt that Carries and even the other coaches
Speaker 3: on the staff's opinions have been one hundred percent like
Speaker 3: Peter Vermeiz. I think they all do a good job
Speaker 3: of working together and presenting different ideas all the time.
Speaker 3: But this is going to be carries opportunity to run
Speaker 3: the ship, and he might do some things different. So
Speaker 3: I think there might be a few things that do
Speaker 3: look a little bit different, and and he might do
Speaker 3: a few different things than Vermes did managerially throughout a
Speaker 3: game as well, but ultimately there's not I don't. I
Speaker 3: think that the most important thing is to get that
Speaker 3: CSO position filled first before you get a manager, and
Speaker 3: I would hope, personally, I would hope that ownership would
Speaker 3: think along those lines to just because then you like
Speaker 3: you just end up with a mess too if things
Speaker 3: go south with another manager, then you're changing managers. Now
Speaker 3: all of a sudden, you're starting to do this thing
Speaker 3: where you're changing managers all the time, and that's not
Speaker 3: the greatest spot to be in for a club. So
Speaker 3: it'll be interesting to see what they choose to do.
Speaker 3: I think, knowing them, I think they'll probably look domestic,
Speaker 3: but I wouldn't be surprised if they if the CSO
Speaker 3: that they bring in is someone that, you know, who
Speaker 3: do they have in their ROLEO X in a way
Speaker 3: that can that they know they can kind of execute
Speaker 3: the vision that they're looking to do.
Speaker 1: So Daniel Sperry, Kansas City Star, juggling both the new
Speaker 1: parenthood and putting up with us on the morning show
Speaker 1: here talking about everything sporting Kansas City. Could you see
Speaker 1: a window where the individual that they bring in gets
Speaker 1: both titles? Something bur Halty in something, We're Haltery in
Speaker 1: something Bill parcels ish where I want both titles. I
Speaker 1: want that kind of control. And you know, Bob Bradley
Speaker 1: is out there, Geo Savarese is out there. Would you
Speaker 1: anticipate even them looking at somebody who wants both titles?
Speaker 3: I mean, I think they could, but they've just had
Speaker 3: that for the last you know, decade, plush, and I
Speaker 3: think it I personally, I don't know how many how
Speaker 3: much that role and doing those two roles like that
Speaker 3: works as much anymore. And I think we're at a
Speaker 3: in a place now where I think, like you look
Speaker 3: at most places across the league that especially those at
Speaker 3: the top of the top of the league. Those guys
Speaker 3: are kind of it's kind of top down where that
Speaker 3: whole structure is. So I I think I would. I
Speaker 3: don't know that they will not do that necessarily if
Speaker 3: those guys, If a guy like Savareesi is willing to
Speaker 3: not have that title, I think Geo would be a
Speaker 3: very interesting pick. He's a little bit different than for me.
Speaker 3: He's very fiery, uh but kind in the same in
Speaker 3: the same ilk that for me was so I but
Speaker 3: kind of sees the game a little different. And so
Speaker 3: I think there's some interesting you know, Jim Curtin's a
Speaker 3: guy out there too, right like these are these are
Speaker 3: some big names that are actually available now that they
Speaker 3: could go through and could go after. But you know, uh,
Speaker 3: how do they choose the Cso do they keep the
Speaker 3: soccer you know ideals in the same structures, the same
Speaker 3: you know as Peter was the one who kind of
Speaker 3: set all that up for the club, and so do
Speaker 3: they follow the road map that he's built or do
Speaker 3: they completely you know, change things up. That'll be the
Speaker 3: question there. But I would like to see a little
Speaker 3: bit of ambition in the manager in the managerial search.
Speaker 3: I'm not not that I like Jim Curtin, giosavarese aside. Yeah,
Speaker 3: some MLS retreads, I think just kind of don't really
Speaker 3: give the fan base that idea that you're trying to
Speaker 3: push the needle. And I think Sporting for so long
Speaker 3: and when they were great or pushing the needle for
Speaker 3: the league on the stadiums, on the training facility. You know,
Speaker 3: they when they built their training facility here, they were
Speaker 3: one of the first in the league to have this massive, beautiful,
Speaker 3: state of the art, you know, dedicated training facility for
Speaker 3: that team. And you know everyone's followed suit after that.
Speaker 3: Everyone started building these training centers and you know they
Speaker 3: were they came online with that with children Mercy Park,
Speaker 3: and it was kind of a tone setting U soccer
Speaker 3: specific stadium that now you look back and you can
Speaker 3: see elements of Children Mercy Park that a bunch of
Speaker 3: places are borrowed in use. So do they kind of
Speaker 3: try and push the needle again as a small Midwestern
Speaker 3: market or do they try and at least get current,
Speaker 3: and that that'll be the question I would. I just
Speaker 3: think that being a little bit more ambitious outside of
Speaker 3: an MLS retread would be the way for them, or
Speaker 3: you know some young guy you've never heard about might
Speaker 3: be great but also could not go great. This is
Speaker 3: an organization that I think it's fan bases losing patients.
Speaker 3: And you have the current now in town at a
Speaker 3: very large level, competing for dollars with sporting and competing
Speaker 3: for eyeballs, and they are a fun They are a blast,
Speaker 3: They win and it's really cool. Don't get that. I
Speaker 3: guess it's a lot of fun there and they need
Speaker 3: to find a way for themselves to get back into
Speaker 3: that same conversation of the fun, awesome environment, a great
Speaker 3: time to be had at the stadium, because ultimately, the
Speaker 3: soccer is what's bringing people in, and the soccer has
Speaker 3: got to start bringing people in again.
Speaker 1: No doubt, especially when you've got a shiny new Riverside
Speaker 1: stadium and you're scoring like ninety eight goals in a
Speaker 1: season and you know, putting everything in the back of
Speaker 1: the net and just being absolutely nuts. Another couple of
Speaker 1: minutes here with Daniel Sperry as he juggles both the
Speaker 1: Morning Show and New Parenthood here on SDH. You got
Speaker 1: a lot of player decisions. I've got like three thoughts
Speaker 1: in my head. I want to try to get as
Speaker 1: many of them in it's five minutes. You've got a
Speaker 1: lot of player decisions here at the end of this
Speaker 1: particular year. I think we were looking at the numbers
Speaker 1: and I think it's like seventeen roster decisions possibly, So
Speaker 1: whommever the individual or individuals are that come in, they
Speaker 1: really can put their stamp on most of the roster.
Speaker 1: Even though that you've got the you've got the base
Speaker 1: there with the Bishop dejon Yovolica and what you want
Speaker 1: to try and accomplish with sporting.
Speaker 2: Let me, I want to ask this about Peter Vermes.
Speaker 1: Is Peter Vermes still would you characterize him as even
Speaker 1: being underappreciated now, considering the market, considering all of the
Speaker 1: external factors, is he underappreciated?
Speaker 2: Do you think?
Speaker 3: Yeah? I think so. I think I think what he
Speaker 3: when he took over in Kansas City, you know, the
Speaker 3: Wizards were an afterthought even with how bad the Royals were.
Speaker 3: I mean, the three professional sports were University of Kansas basketball, ye,
Speaker 3: the Royals, and the Chiefs, and they were in a
Speaker 3: city outside of KU. They were in a city of
Speaker 3: non winners at the time, and their Open Cup, the
Speaker 3: Open Cup run in twelve started that. The MLS Cup
Speaker 3: in thirteen was you know, came before the Royals started
Speaker 3: being good. They were the city's first winner for a
Speaker 3: very long time, and they got people really excited about
Speaker 3: soccer to the point where we already had the foundation here.
Speaker 3: I think for that soccer fervor, that really helped the
Speaker 3: current when they re established themselves, because those FCKC days,
Speaker 3: I think there was still a lot of people jumping
Speaker 3: on board with and I don't know that they were
Speaker 3: quite ready to jump on board with the nwslum with
Speaker 3: women's soccer as they were now. But I mean Kansas
Speaker 3: City for a while was a kind of an after
Speaker 3: thought within the whole soccer sphere. And they're gonna be
Speaker 3: hosting games in the World Cup. And I think a
Speaker 3: significant amount of that has to do with Peter Vermeiz
Speaker 3: helping not only put the team on the map, but
Speaker 3: that he like he brought people into the game and
Speaker 3: brought people with the success that they had here, introduced
Speaker 3: people to the game, and soccer in Kansas City became
Speaker 3: a huge soccer city in part because of that. The stadium,
Speaker 3: like I said, you know, he was pushing really hard
Speaker 3: for that stadium, the training facility for those if you've
Speaker 3: ever been out here, I highly encourage you to come
Speaker 3: out and if you can get out to the training facility.
Speaker 3: And like the tour that we went through was a
Speaker 3: guy when it opened an eighteen was guided by Peter Vermeis,
Speaker 3: and he had every little detail in that building down
Speaker 3: to a tee. And when we're sitting there and apart
Speaker 3: in its construction phase, it's just a dirt lot and
Speaker 3: gigantic steel beams as they're just kind of erecting the
Speaker 3: frame of this building, and he's trying a vision cast. Okay,
Speaker 3: there's three fields here and another field. There's gonna be
Speaker 3: ways for it all to be integrated in and on video,
Speaker 3: and that way we can get everything into the room.
Speaker 3: And he's vision casting everything, and there's just so much
Speaker 3: going on in the details of like what happens when
Speaker 3: you walk in the room with the pool and the
Speaker 3: hot and the cold pools, and what logo is on
Speaker 3: what side of the wall. And I think it's really
Speaker 3: like he was so passionate about making soccer the best
Speaker 3: it could possibly be, not only in Kansas City, but
Speaker 3: around the rest of the world. And I think that
Speaker 3: is that that is what makes him underappreciated because I
Speaker 3: don't know because of the market size, I don't know
Speaker 3: if people, and he's been here for so long, I
Speaker 3: don't know if people really got to see and appreciate
Speaker 3: the true passion not just for the team, the game,
Speaker 3: the coaching, but like for soccer period that he had
Speaker 3: and wanting to push it to be the best. And
Speaker 3: he was very instrumental in a lot of big things
Speaker 3: in MLS and pushing the needle and helping rules happen
Speaker 3: and rule changes and getting all that kind of stuff
Speaker 3: going with the stadiums and training facilities. So yes, I
Speaker 3: think very underappreciated. I do think though it has been
Speaker 3: good to see that the reaction, like after the news
Speaker 3: came out for those that have been around where it's
Speaker 3: very like, Okay, it kind of sucks sporting them were bad,
Speaker 3: but we're not going to just keep hounding on for
Speaker 3: Mes here like this dude absolutely needs to be praised
Speaker 3: for the legend that he is and it just time
Speaker 3: just ran.
Speaker 1: Out, And that's why we wanted to have you on
Speaker 1: to discuss Peter Vermes and everything going on in Kansas City.
Speaker 1: Hit the promo for me, so folks can follow you
Speaker 1: and all the intel and the info that you drop
Speaker 1: on a daily basis when you're not trying to get
Speaker 1: in a nap to catch up on.
Speaker 3: Your Yeah, you can follow me of course on x
Speaker 3: Twitter or whatever the heck you call it now at

Speaker 3: me Daniel Sperry over on Blue Sky as well. Any

Speaker 3: always great to and at this point you can see
Speaker 3: quick shots of our newborn and our daughter fawning over
Speaker 3: her and it's adorable.
Speaker 1: So then that's all that matters. Congratulations on a bunch
Speaker 1: of different fronts, my friend. I find the value of naps.
Speaker 1: I'm hoping that that that you will be allowed to
Speaker 1: have that value at points and we'll catch up with
Speaker 1: you soon, my friend. Thanks for dropping by early on
Speaker 1: morning in Kansas City. Well do thanks guys, all right,
Speaker 1: Daniel Sperry, Kansas City star man.

Speaker 1: Is burning the candle he is like you could you
Speaker 1: could see that he that he was in dire need
Speaker 1: of a nap. You really could tell. You could tell.
Speaker 1: And the fact that he could put twenty minutes together
Speaker 1: about Peter Vermes and Sporting Kansas City class A putting
Speaker 1: together man. Well, like I said, congratulations on the new
Speaker 1: parenthood and all that kind of stuff, and yeah, late nights,
Speaker 1: early mornings and what day is it, What time is it?
Speaker 1: That's what you're getting right now. They'll be good. I'm
Speaker 1: seeing him in the green room. He's out the door. Uh,
Speaker 1: all right, so that's good to get that update on
Speaker 1: everything there. So let's see what's going on with everybody
Speaker 1: going here this morning. So we'll say hi to everybody.
Speaker 1: We'll go over what happened yesterday in the Premier League
Speaker 1: and all and all the other things before our buddy,
Speaker 1: you know, Torres, joined us coming up at the top
Speaker 1: of the hour morning logo. Morning will once again remember, Yeah,
Speaker 1: weather's going to be kind of nasty in some parts
Speaker 1: of the US. Keep an eye on your friends, keep
Speaker 1: an eye on your family, and make sure that everything
Speaker 1: is fully charged. Yes, Ricky, we you know, got into
Speaker 1: the whole twenty thirty one bit. But the thing is,
Speaker 1: Ricky says, yeah, it's so much further away than it
Speaker 1: is and it's only six year. I know, think about
Speaker 1: where this particular part of the country was six years
Speaker 1: ago in growing things and where it is now six
Speaker 1: years that's a lot. It's a lot of planning, but
Speaker 1: you got to get it done now. You've got to
Speaker 1: be ready at zero. You can't just sit there and
Speaker 1: it's like, oh yeah, there's your deadline, bang and then
Speaker 1: start thinking, No, you got to get ready, so you
Speaker 1: hit the ground running six years from now. So that'll
Speaker 1: be fun. Yeah. The planting of the flag, absolutely, I know.
Speaker 1: But the thing is the video that the video that
Speaker 1: was put out by Ricky by the way, and the
Speaker 1: video that Ricky linked to from I want to say
Speaker 1: ground level from one of the network affiliates in Chattanooga
Speaker 1: that was from the side of the benches. The side
Speaker 1: that I was looking at when I was looking at
Speaker 1: the end of the broadcast came from the fans side,
Speaker 1: the Red side, the Red seat side, the Red Bulls fans.
Speaker 1: Literally twice you had dudes go in like after the mattress,
Speaker 1: and then the players probably were distracted by looking at
Speaker 1: one another, but you had folks coming from the Red
Speaker 1: Wolves fan side and planting the flag right in the middle.
Speaker 1: Wasn't like the big one that you see in that
Speaker 1: video that Ricky linked to from one of the network
Speaker 1: affiliates in Chattanooga. But yeah, once and twice you had
Speaker 1: folks come run out with the flag and just go
Speaker 1: bang right there right and then right right at the
Speaker 1: fifty at Fort Finley twelve sixty one.
Speaker 2: It was crazy last night. Go back and watch if
Speaker 2: you have a.
Speaker 1: Couple of minutes, probably, I mean I would probably watch
Speaker 1: the second half, maybe the final thirty minutes plus twenty
Speaker 1: in PK. So if you've got an hour, like during
Speaker 1: your lunch hour, go back and watch the last thirty
Speaker 1: from like the sixtieth minute on to the end. Do
Speaker 1: that during your lunch hour, and then watch the end
Speaker 1: of the broadcast to what I was talking about where
Speaker 1: folks are just coming off the field and they're just
Speaker 1: planting the Red Wolves flag right there at at Finley Stadium.
Speaker 1: And yet will you know, Will's like uh with what
Speaker 1: we saw with Pa Hop last night, I'll right in
Speaker 1: a Zadliadi.
Speaker 2: Yep. We got to run into them last season for
Speaker 2: Huntsville and the thing.
Speaker 1: Ricky, I don't know how many more times they're gonna
Speaker 1: play each other unless the US Soccer mandates it. It's
Speaker 1: like you're over there, I'm over here, and you're just
Speaker 1: kind of like, you know, you're like this. You know,
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, I don't want anything to do
Speaker 1: with it. You're over there. I'm over here, and there
Speaker 1: the twain shall meet and so and so we'll see morning, Harry.
Speaker 1: Harry says, as much as I wanted CFC to win,
Speaker 1: it was awesome to see the flag stuff. Need more
Speaker 1: of that in US soccer, Harry, Who would that be
Speaker 1: for san Antonio? Harry joins us from San Antonio every morning?
Speaker 1: Who would be that for San Antonio? If you had
Speaker 1: that moment at Toyota? Who would be that team that
Speaker 1: you hate the most? That would be something like that?
Speaker 1: Oh and I have not seen this, but apparently Harry's
Speaker 1: alluding to very horrific p ks for a Hartford athletic
Speaker 1: against Pea.
Speaker 2: Hop for then got to win.
Speaker 1: And by the way, that bot that popped in had
Speaker 1: already been has already been taken care of and blown
Speaker 1: out by the folks on Twitch morning, David, big win
Speaker 1: for them yesterday, A big, big win for the Magpies.
Speaker 1: And I got to figure out my fantasy team because
Speaker 1: I started esach but I think Jacob Murphy was on
Speaker 1: the bench for me, but since I had other players
Speaker 1: who didn't play, I still get those points. New York
Speaker 1: Jet three welcome, Glad that you're here a part of things.
Speaker 1: Don't be surprised if SI Stadium ends up being a
Speaker 1: place where you get workouts done and things like that.
Speaker 1: You're still active in the process. But when you are
Speaker 1: in a market like that, you're gonna want to play
Speaker 1: at the Metal Lands. You know a handful of miles
Speaker 1: down the street, so you're gonna go play at the
Speaker 1: Metal Lands, and you might have people working out at
Speaker 1: SI Stadium. At Harrison Morning, Abby and Good Abby finally
Speaker 1: got her gear from a Grady Baby and Grady Baby
Speaker 1: co One thing I've the one thing I forgot to
Speaker 1: tell you, one of the cool little bits that I
Speaker 1: got to see that registered for me. The SDH logos
Speaker 1: on one sleeve and the Gratty Baby logos down here
Speaker 1: at the bottom of the cuff on the other. So
Speaker 1: it's just a cute little touch, very very comfortable sweatshirts.
Speaker 1: I recommend them they will take me to the poorhouse.
Speaker 1: So yes, Abby, I think we can have as many
Speaker 1: times as we want for lunch, as we can have
Speaker 1: as much time as we want for lunch, but I
Speaker 1: would say if you have an hour, then watch the
Speaker 1: last thirty, the twenty and the pks from last night's
Speaker 1: Tattanooga FC red Wolves match, not even just for the activity,
Speaker 1: but for the fan engagement and all the.
Speaker 2: Stuff that we've been talking about this morning. Let's see.
Speaker 1: So Austin according to Harry okay, so Austin's probably the
Speaker 1: team that he'd get that much hatred if he believed
Speaker 1: if he was a juice boxer. He thinks it's a
Speaker 1: lock that San Antonio travels to Austin in round three.
Speaker 2: So we'll keep an eye on that all.
Speaker 1: Right, going into today, I know we had some activity
Speaker 1: yesterday and let me get into the Premier League before
Speaker 1: we wait for our buddy Nino coming in. So yesterday
Speaker 1: had a couple of matches, big win for Ipswich. By
Speaker 1: the way Ipswich came in, there were a lot of
Speaker 1: folks that were injured for Bournemouth that sat Liverpool. I mean,
Speaker 1: uh Merseyside has read. They won one nil. Ipswich at
Speaker 1: a plus six forty seven beat Bournemouth two to one.
Speaker 1: Villa put three on Brighton at a plus two hundred.
Speaker 1: Manchester City won two nil over Lester Manchester Lester, I'm
Speaker 1: not gonna get over that. Newcastle beat Brentford tow to one.
Speaker 1: Southampton Crystal Palace got a point one to one at
Speaker 1: a plus three to zero one, so we'll keep an
Speaker 1: eye on that. But still a big win for Ipswich
Speaker 1: and all of the fallout there. Like said, Bournemouth had
Speaker 1: seven players, a lot of their big name players out
Speaker 1: in the matchup against Manchester and the FA Cup and
Speaker 1: so you still had your carry over here because you've
Speaker 1: got to look at the bigger picture. Uh, let's see
Speaker 1: next matches today. You got a couple of them actually,
Speaker 1: just the one Chelsea and Spurs at three o'clock. Chelsea
Speaker 1: at a minus one forty seven draws a plus three
Speaker 1: thirty four, Spurs are a plus three forty eight. And yeah,
Speaker 1: the fact that they have to turn around and come
Speaker 1: on and play on Sunday where Chelsea goes to Brentford
Speaker 1: and Spurs ho Southampton. I mean you kind of like, yeah,
Speaker 1: the matches that the for Spurs, it should be a
Speaker 1: match you take care of, but who knows. So standings
Speaker 1: just to get into all of that and then after
Speaker 1: Nico will get everything else on the board for what
Speaker 1: to watch, where to watch it, and all that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff. So thirty matches in except for Spurs who
Speaker 1: have twenty nine and Crystal Palace at twenty nine. Ipswich
Speaker 1: is now nine points back of Wolves with thirty eight
Speaker 1: matches to go, so it's looking pretty rough that it's
Speaker 1: gonna be lester ipswitch Lester and Southampton won two and
Speaker 1: three and Southampton.
Speaker 2: Ten points.
Speaker 1: They're nineteen points out of safety. So with eight to go, yeah,
Speaker 1: shoot her, good morning.
Speaker 2: Let's see.
Speaker 1: So Southampton is nineteen points clear. They got the point
Speaker 1: that they needed to stave off relegation quickly, so eight
Speaker 1: matches twenty four points. So if Wolves win on the
Speaker 1: weekend then I think.
Speaker 2: That would mean seven matches to go.
Speaker 1: So if Wolves win in Southampton lose, then that would
Speaker 1: mean on the weekend that seven matches would go and
Speaker 1: Wolves would be twenty two clear.
Speaker 2: So basically here's how it happens.
Speaker 1: If Wolves win in Southampton lose, Southampton's relegated with seven
Speaker 1: matches to go, two four and twenty four, twenty two
Speaker 1: goals scored, seventy one allowed goal difference to minus forty nine.
Speaker 1: So that's what you're staring at with them, and uh,
Speaker 1: let's see so Wolves my Wolves. I didn't know Shooter
Speaker 1: was a Wolves fan in addition to everything that he
Speaker 1: doesn't like happening right now currently in New England. And
Speaker 1: then we'll have that talk next week. So Abby public
Speaker 1: service announcement. Long day load ins in the morning, walks
Speaker 1: around Metro tailgate with the Hawks game at three and
Speaker 1: the kickoff at seven forty.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's going to be a busy day.
Speaker 1: Hawks are kicking off at three and then Atlanta United
Speaker 1: kicks off at seven forty at Mercedes Benz right next door.
Speaker 1: And so I think they're trying to get folks in
Speaker 1: the barn at State Farm so you can go and
Speaker 1: watch the Hawks and then wander over and tailgate and
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff. There might be some ticket things,
Speaker 1: so keeping eye on all that stuff. But anyway, Shooter, Yes,
Speaker 1: all my teams suck. No, but we love you, Shooter
Speaker 1: and we're glad that you're here. So that's the quick
Speaker 1: rundown of everything that happened yesterday. You had some cup
Speaker 1: competitions and things. We'll get into all of the other
Speaker 1: news and stuff as we kind of drift in and
Speaker 1: out Gabriel is not going to play until next season.
Speaker 1: Needs surgery and he's going to be out for a
Speaker 1: couple of months, so no more playing for him for
Speaker 1: the remainder of this year. I don't know if you
Speaker 1: saw this, but apparently Jesse Mourinho grabbed his rival manager's
Speaker 1: nose after losing in the Turkish Cup. Obviously he was
Speaker 1: He went face to face with galatasaraz Okan Buruk, and
Speaker 1: so he appeared to grab the nose of the manager.
Speaker 1: In the end scenes of Fenderbatch's two to one defeat
Speaker 1: to their rivals, he appeared to pinch Buk's nose after
Speaker 1: the final whistle, and so, of course Buruk falls to
Speaker 1: the pitch on his back and facing his hands, and
Speaker 1: Marinho was dragged away. Uh galatasarized VP minting Us Turk
Speaker 1: claimed after both managers had spoken to match officials, Marina
Speaker 1: first verbally and then physically attacked him. Where else in
Speaker 1: the world can he do this? What does he think of?
Speaker 2: Turk?
Speaker 1: I believe that Fenderbache's management will impose the necessary sanction
Speaker 1: before the federation does. Buduk tried to play the moved
Speaker 1: down and said it wasn't the classy move. Nothing between
Speaker 1: me and Mourinho. He pinched my nose from behind. There
Speaker 1: was a slight scratch. Of course, it wasn't a very
Speaker 1: nice or elegant thing to do. We expect managers to
Speaker 1: behave more appropriately in such situations. I won't exaggerate the issue,
Speaker 1: but it wasn't the classy move. So I guess so,
Speaker 1: Josie Mourinho has now got your nose with his rivals.
Speaker 1: I never knew that was something that was going to happen.
Speaker 1: Pgmo Well admits that Tarkovsky should have been sent off
Speaker 1: against Liverpool, and let me see if there's anything else
Speaker 1: that I have missed when it comes to any other
Speaker 1: news and notes. Before you know, Torres joins us here
Speaker 1: in short order, Tarkovsky wrongly escaped the red card for
Speaker 1: a leg breaker tackle and so now, of course in
Speaker 1: the Telegraph there's an article up the Newcastle trophy parades
Speaker 1: now inspiring an effort to increase a new stadium capacity.
Speaker 1: So we'll see if that amounts to anything going forward.
Speaker 1: Jack Grealish, Jack Grealish got the goals yesterday and he
Speaker 1: had a very very emotional tribute to his brother and
Speaker 1: said it was for you Keelan and so that was
Speaker 1: very very cool, a very very cool moment there for
Speaker 1: Jack Grealish yesterday in a two nil win for Manchester City.
Speaker 1: So in Manchester and Leicester is what we're doing, all right?
Speaker 1: So ten o'clock after ten o'clock, we know what that means.
Speaker 1: It is that time.
Speaker 2: Oh oh, different background. We have to discuss this.
Speaker 1: So it's after ten o'clock and it's time to catch
Speaker 1: up and go fully loaded with our buddy Nino Torres.
Speaker 1: Where where else on this planet can you go from
Speaker 1: Kansas City to Alima, Peru.
Speaker 2: We bring in Nino and the background is different. Yello Yello, Yello, Yello.
Speaker 4: Yallo Ya No, Johnny, how you doing?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 6: I'm gonna you know, my throt is gonna hurt today
Speaker 6: because I went to the to watch my beloved on
Speaker 6: your thirdy reporters last night.
Speaker 4: So you understand why why I'm like this.
Speaker 1: You're gonna load, You're gonna loak here this morning.
Speaker 2: We won't h yeah we will, yeah, we will.
Speaker 1: We'll make sure that everything we won't get you too excited,
Speaker 1: so then I will be excited for the both of us.
Speaker 1: You said that Peruvian teams got a harsh reality check
Speaker 1: in the Coopa Laberta Doris run through it.
Speaker 6: Brother, well we Staturday on Tuesday with with Allan Salima.
Speaker 6: You know, they got out a great chance to be
Speaker 6: delivered that. But in the end, in the end, things
Speaker 6: didn't work out. For they were not the same team.
Speaker 6: They were closed but not that close and many players
Speaker 6: not meeting the up.
Speaker 4: There's the standards, the international standards. And I gotta.
Speaker 6: Tell you this, Johnny, in this case, I want to
Speaker 6: talk about it when your started game too.
Speaker 4: But in the Lias Limas case.
Speaker 6: Uh, they thought it was gonna be easier because they
Speaker 6: beat national in the first round of the couple or others.
Speaker 6: They got over Bulka juniors and they got the overy
Speaker 6: kick and now you know what, they were successful. Yes,
Speaker 6: it's feasible. We're gonna take care of business. No, brother, no, no,
Speaker 6: no no. When you get to the group stage, when
Speaker 6: you get to the group stage, every single team is hard,
Speaker 6: every single team is hard. And uh, the two one
Speaker 6: more time for one more time scoreless, you know, and
Speaker 6: you know what.
Speaker 4: The the city it was just it's it can't be
Speaker 4: like that.
Speaker 6: You can't be quiet. Because they were stunned by the
Speaker 6: performance they're quiet, their stadium was quiet, and none of
Speaker 6: my kids because last night we were freaking loud up.
Speaker 6: And it's not because I am studly. No, No, I'm
Speaker 6: not saying just just because of that. That's not the
Speaker 6: only reason, but uh, you can be quiet when you
Speaker 6: team is playing.
Speaker 4: You can't.
Speaker 1: And I I I am going to guide through this
Speaker 1: conversation knowing that you are hurting, knowing that you are
Speaker 1: low gearing it because you got first up. When's your
Speaker 1: next match that you've got to call on gold TV?
Speaker 1: Okay had a couple of days at that time. I
Speaker 1: was like, you got to make sure that everything is cool.
Speaker 1: But you look at Tolbertadors and I will once again
Speaker 1: promote our buddy Howard Hamilton and soccer metrics as to
Speaker 1: uh the Libertadors preview show that we pieced together, so
Speaker 1: robertadoras let's go through the rundown yesterday in the group stage,
Speaker 1: so Polo and to Jeri's quarterback when Versad did Chile
Speaker 1: over both the Fogo, that one to me is a
Speaker 1: bit of a surprise. Then, I mean and the fact
Speaker 1: river plate, I mean river Plate, and and you're you brother,
Speaker 1: I mean that's heavyweight stuff.
Speaker 2: You can't. You cannot be quiet when river plate's in
Speaker 2: your barn. Man.
Speaker 6: Yeah, and we we That's actually another point I'm gonna
Speaker 6: discuss later because that's another topic that's at the bottom.
Speaker 4: You saw it, Oh yeah, that's that's that's amazing. But
Speaker 4: the I went to stadium in.
Speaker 6: Sixty thousand people, now, sixty thousand people roaring, roaring, and
Speaker 6: that referee. I mean, all right, this is gonna say.
Speaker 6: But I'm not gonna say that we lost because of
Speaker 6: the refrain. No, I'm not gonna say that. No, because
Speaker 6: there was the inability of the report is to create
Speaker 6: offency chances.
Speaker 4: That's what I got us under. That's the reason that
Speaker 4: the main reason why we lost. But you got to
Speaker 4: say this. I refree. He really leaned the table. He
Speaker 4: really did.
Speaker 6: And Johnny, do you see I mean fifteen fowls. Fifteen fowls?
Speaker 2: One caution? Wow, one caution, Give me a break.
Speaker 6: Give me every every every single goal, every single challenge,
Speaker 6: every single tackle.
Speaker 4: Was for them, not for us. And we made him
Speaker 4: feel it.
Speaker 6: Oh we we stated made him feel it, feel the pressure,
Speaker 6: he felt the hit in the second half.
Speaker 7: It was just because every single time, give me, I
Speaker 7: understand a couple of calls, okay, one call here, one
Speaker 7: call the right, but consecutive calls, consecutive files.
Speaker 6: And they were in transitions. I mean there were key fowls,
Speaker 6: there were key fowls, and he did not call him.
Speaker 6: And they're like, wow, no, whoa now, no going to
Speaker 6: the to the actual game. I was trying to defend
Speaker 6: this guy. We we we signed as a striker for
Speaker 6: news reporters, right because we were looking for striker at
Speaker 6: the end of the season. We know we need a quality,
Speaker 6: a high quality striker. And then we went ahead and
Speaker 6: signed a thirty five year old Argentine from Parlui.
Speaker 4: From seropontaining four goals last year.
Speaker 6: And I was like, not that critic until until tonight,
Speaker 6: until last night. Up until last night, I was just
Speaker 6: giving him the credit. All right, his score three goals,
Speaker 6: that's fine, Just let's take a slow but as to
Speaker 6: the lineup yesterday, and I was like, all right, he's
Speaker 6: starting tonight. So we brought you for this right to
Speaker 6: make a fight in the coupley of dollars, this is
Speaker 6: the moment where you shine. Every single challenge he lost.
Speaker 6: He lost every single challenge in the first forty five minutes,
Speaker 6: he can know, and we didn't shoot, Johnny, we didn't
Speaker 6: shoot on goal in the that first forty five minutes.
Speaker 6: Then in the second party five, our number nine, our
Speaker 6: number nine enters on game change change. He won the first,
Speaker 6: very the very first, a real challenge he won. And
Speaker 6: he won every single, every single challenge he wanted. He's
Speaker 6: smaller than than that you shooting is six three one
Speaker 6: ninety five and Alex Baldis is his my height, he's
Speaker 6: he's five eight.
Speaker 8: You know, how do you want all how do you
Speaker 8: win all the challenges and the other guy, the stronger,
Speaker 8: taller than you doesn't win it? No, no, okay, if
Speaker 8: you're going to play the g route thing that you're
Speaker 8: the tactic, that tactical number nine that doesn't score goals,
Speaker 8: that helps up the team, all right, I help the
Speaker 8: freaking team, brother, if you know the score goal, just
Speaker 8: help the team.
Speaker 6: You know we Well, I totally lost ay last night,
Speaker 6: and I said that a message to the private chat
Speaker 6: with the guys goal TV that we have, right, Uh,
Speaker 6: I gotta recognize this.
Speaker 4: He's a bust. He is just a bust.
Speaker 6: That that's flat out he's a bust. Because when when
Speaker 6: Completorius comes in. There's you don't have room forever. But
Speaker 6: you don't have room forever. You have you must win
Speaker 6: your three games.
Speaker 4: At home in order to believe that you have a chance.
Speaker 4: Now we lost one and now we gotta go and
Speaker 4: win in Ecuador.
Speaker 6: Goal, gotta win in Buenos Aires, go, gotta win in
Speaker 6: Quito in why I kill you got you gotta steal
Speaker 6: one big three away from home.
Speaker 4: And that is the toughest part to do in Now.
Speaker 4: It's ridiculous. Man, I'm so mad that the people different office,
Speaker 4: because how do you sign this guy? How do you
Speaker 4: sign this guy? Why do you sign this guy? And
Speaker 4: the second year in a row that we start a well,
Speaker 4: how did I ceit this up? And any and number
Speaker 4: nine that is not uh, that's not gonna make it
Speaker 4: a difference.
Speaker 3: You know he didn't.
Speaker 4: I didn't make the difference last year where he signed him.
Speaker 3: Got this guy.
Speaker 4: This year didn't work out all right, little list.
Speaker 6: I don't understand that the money that's an issue, right,
Speaker 6: But make an efforts. Just make an effort like like
Speaker 6: we do. You know, you make efports, you make sacrifices.
Speaker 6: You want to get something that you want that you need,
Speaker 6: not just that you want, but that you need. You
Speaker 6: sacrifice things in life, right, I'm gonna get an extra job,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna do whatever, but make it sacrifice to make
Speaker 6: it happen.
Speaker 4: And it doesn't seem like it's that's the case when
Speaker 4: we started aport this for.
Speaker 5: Note man.
Speaker 2: One nil lost last night.
Speaker 1: A couple of familiar faces for for River, for those
Speaker 1: who are up here following Legamkis, Maximesa and Sebastian and
Speaker 1: Dreusi who was in Austin. So a couple of faces
Speaker 1: for folks that might have been watching that last night.
Speaker 1: Just to sit there and look at your numbers. It
Speaker 1: was a five to three too to start pretoasting that
Speaker 1: back five of a Polo Corzo riveros Inga and Carabali,
Speaker 1: midfield three Costa, Murugrat and Conca and up top Flores
Speaker 1: and Churin.
Speaker 2: And I looked at Diego Churin.
Speaker 1: In fifty five minutes, eighteen touches, nine to thirteen passing,
Speaker 1: thirteen passes and eighteen touches he did win five or
Speaker 1: seven in the air, lost possession six times. Those are
Speaker 1: kind of numbers that you don't want, I mean, thirty
Speaker 1: one touches for Edison Flores and then that's my mama's whoa,
Speaker 1: whoa look out, man's got to answer his mom's phone.
Speaker 1: He's got to answer that one. I was wondering what
Speaker 1: the background was. So, uh, so we will we will
Speaker 1: make sure that everything is cool there with Nino. But yeah,
Speaker 1: last night as we got into the Copa front, guys
Speaker 1: weren't getting a whole lot of touches and you ended
Speaker 1: up getting a one zierl loss there with uh with
Speaker 1: the copa.
Speaker 2: All right, so let me bring Nino back in. Is
Speaker 2: everything cool?
Speaker 4: Yeah, everything's good.
Speaker 2: Things good, Okay, just chacking.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I was going through the numbers for your
Speaker 1: your two four your two attacking forwards last night, and
Speaker 1: one of them had Jurine had eighteen touches and was
Speaker 1: nine to thirteen passing and almost horrible touches.
Speaker 4: Horrible touches. You know, it's just like that. His first
Speaker 4: touch was just ridiculously bad. Brother, he lost it.
Speaker 9: I mean she got it.
Speaker 6: I think he the bold went sideways and then it
Speaker 6: relay was so aggressive. That's another thing that that I'm
Speaker 6: not that I mentioned aggressive. We were not aggressive in
Speaker 6: order to recover the ball at one point and and
Speaker 6: that was a bit, it was disrespectful, but they did
Speaker 6: it because they couldn't replay and start to you know,
Speaker 6: Joe at the ball around, passing around and we cannot
Speaker 6: catch the ball.
Speaker 4: We were chasing the ball for.
Speaker 6: Like two minutes in a row, and the guys were
Speaker 6: rotaining and rotating and rotating like come on, get get.
Speaker 4: Us, get the pot from us, come on, get the
Speaker 4: perform us. We cannot you can't do it, just can
Speaker 4: do it.
Speaker 6: Then the idea to change we we put on the pitch,
Speaker 6: the hide the villages that I think he should not be.
Speaker 4: On the bench anymore. He's the kind of guy that
Speaker 4: that we need.
Speaker 6: We need that playmaker because w A, Costa and Hyder
Speaker 6: contract cannot get it together.
Speaker 2: And now it's this.
Speaker 6: This is the this is the the player that I wanted.
Speaker 6: I've been wanting this guy for years and finally it
Speaker 6: arrives to new study report this and he proved last
Speaker 6: night that he's a chance. He is the guy that
Speaker 6: you need in couples. And I'm pretty sure that Buso's
Speaker 6: recognized that and he's going to start him probably every
Speaker 6: single couple of Litis game.
Speaker 1: I have no doubt about that twelve of eighteen passing
Speaker 1: already one touches in thirty five minutes. In thirty five minutes,
Speaker 1: he was six of eleven on his duels four seven
Speaker 1: in the year, two of four in the ground fouled
Speaker 1: three times. As a part of that process as well,
Speaker 1: you wanted to get into the South American U seventeen
Speaker 1: tournament where it was brutal for Peru.
Speaker 2: Again, you just beating yourself up this morning. Man.
Speaker 4: It's it's it's ridiculous.
Speaker 6: Man, this is the I said again, But I want
Speaker 6: to tell you that the scores right opening opening game
Speaker 6: in the UH in the tournament, we lost finale the Parkway.
Speaker 4: The next day we played the host Columbia to a nail.
Speaker 6: Then we played Chile on the Monday we lost five nail,
Speaker 6: and uh we yesterday we uh we played Argentina and
Speaker 6: we lost again four nail.
Speaker 4: So four games, no goals, four.
Speaker 6: Hundred and fifty goals conceded in four matches, you know,
Speaker 6: and uh this is this is the it is a
Speaker 6: it's a it's a it's a the problem. It's just
Speaker 6: not about the results. Because I was talking to a
Speaker 6: coach who coaches. He's a youth coach, And so what
Speaker 6: do we look for in this tournament, in this under
Speaker 6: seventeens and the nineteens and the twenty one teams tournaments?
Speaker 6: Do you I answer that you you know that you're
Speaker 6: not gonna win every tournament.
Speaker 2: You're not.
Speaker 6: No, No, We're looking for development the players and see
Speaker 6: who is ready for playing the fort division.
Speaker 4: Okay, but what about winning?
Speaker 2: When?
Speaker 4: What? What about winning?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 2: Why?
Speaker 4: Am we're not looking for for to win? I don't
Speaker 4: if I go.
Speaker 6: In there, you know, when, I want to see if
Speaker 6: I play, my gods are playing good or no? No, no, no,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna go there and try to win every single
Speaker 6: freaking game. And and we got a big I mean,
Speaker 6: it's been so long.
Speaker 4: Johnny since we qualified to the two World Cup.
Speaker 6: Eleven was the last hundred seventeen proving team that went
Speaker 6: into the UH, that went into the UH to work
Speaker 6: up twenty eleven, twenty eleven. It's it's too long, It's
Speaker 6: way too long. What are we doing with our kids?
Speaker 6: We're not We're not preparing them right and UH. And
Speaker 6: the the thing that I got up a little bit
Speaker 6: of hope is like this, I've seen this because I
Speaker 6: got my my nephews and my girlfriend's sons are are young.
Speaker 6: They're getting somewhere. Sohow we're getting taller, I don't know how,
Speaker 6: but we are getting taller, right, And that's that's it's
Speaker 6: a big deal.
Speaker 4: It's a big deal because it proved you, Jenny, how
Speaker 4: you're You're told me you're six r.
Speaker 2: I wish I'm six foot.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you're six all right, So you're a giant here
Speaker 6: you were, You're a giant here you walking the streets
Speaker 6: and stepping on the people's heads.
Speaker 4: You know.

Speaker 6: These new generations are getting taller. My nephew sixth we

Speaker 6: other my six three. So we got and we got

Speaker 2: So which ones are you locked into?
Speaker 5: There?
Speaker 3: Sir?
Speaker 4: Uh, the two the biggest classicals of the of the weekend.
Speaker 6: We have the I have the Porto Melfica and I
Speaker 6: have the Sporting club versus supporting Braga on Monday night soccer.
Speaker 6: So it's actually nineteen Porto do it's three thirty here
Speaker 6: you know, in the in the east coast man this weekend, brother,
Speaker 6: this weekend. So Porto is having the chance to ruin
Speaker 6: the party for MEFCA. They can ruin the party Forfica.
Speaker 6: Oh yes they can.
Speaker 4: But I don't know if they didn't, this gonna happen
Speaker 4: or now, because right now there are the.
Speaker 6: Two different levels, two different levels Benfica and they're they're
Speaker 6: running their offense. Things are clicking. The Madia is bad.
Speaker 6: Evangelis pabilis is in absolute fire. On the second half
Speaker 6: of decision. You you you make the substitutions, and the
Speaker 6: substitutions work. Whereas in important if if Rodigo Mona doesn't
Speaker 6: run the show, there's no show for port And we're
Speaker 6: talking about the responsibility of a seventeen year old kid.
Speaker 6: By the way, guys, listen to this name, Rodrigo Mora,
Speaker 6: Google it, watch it, search for it, because he is
Speaker 6: the next big star, the next big star.
Speaker 4: Seventh at seventeen years old.
Speaker 6: He is so fresh, he's you know, you watch him
Speaker 6: play and he's like like the guy's playing a high
Speaker 6: school game with his buddies, like he's playing professional.
Speaker 4: But he's doing really so seamileusly, so free.
Speaker 6: And he's a magician, you know, he is, you know
Speaker 6: the way his land throws through the a to the place.
Speaker 6: But not only that, he does something that it's very
Speaker 6: hard to do when you're seventeen eighteen.
Speaker 4: I think he knows when to let it go.
Speaker 6: He doesn't hold the ball that much. He knows he can't, right,
Speaker 6: he knows he can't. Oh, I can't drive over five guys. No, no, no,
Speaker 6: I'm gonna driven too. When I pass the ball, I'm
Speaker 6: gonna pivot it, I'm gonna switch it.
Speaker 4: Yes, he does that.
Speaker 6: He has that the presence of mind of the only
Speaker 6: the great ones have, the only the way, only the
Speaker 6: great ones.
Speaker 4: Have that ability to know when to let it go
Speaker 4: at that age. And I'm telling you.
Speaker 6: Everybody's telling them all, I mean, Jamal and all that.
Speaker 6: Rodigo Mona, ladigo mona. He is the reason, he is
Speaker 6: the reason why the Porto has a chance. And I'm
Speaker 6: on Sunday against Menfica and then the other thing. I
Speaker 6: was talking with the guys on two Tuesdays Love the
Speaker 6: other night and I told the guys you got the chances.
Speaker 6: Like brother, listen, this is this is how it works.
Speaker 6: We can go and play at the dra Gal if
Speaker 6: we when every time we play at Dora Gau, Porto
Speaker 6: can put eleven construction workers and make a nightmare for us.
Speaker 4: All right, So don't tell me that they have the
Speaker 4: roster this week.
Speaker 6: Don't tell me that, because when we play at Porto's
Speaker 6: stadium at Rau, anything to happen. And this is the
Speaker 6: most relentless team in the planet that you're talking about.
Speaker 6: So I'm not he he's a big a guy. He's
Speaker 6: not looking over his shoulder. He's supported by it, not
Speaker 6: by a slight millimeter product, nothing, nothing.
Speaker 4: So it's gonna be a massive game because it's if
Speaker 4: if Porto wins and I've been the next day.
Speaker 6: The next day, Sporting has to beat Brag which I
Speaker 6: think the playing at home, I think Sporting has a.
Speaker 4: Serious chance to to.
Speaker 6: I'm not to run away with you and not to
Speaker 6: run away with the title because they have too many injuries.
Speaker 4: But if they win on Monday, I'm Infica doesn't. I
Speaker 4: think it's over.
Speaker 6: It's over, even even though after this is six more
Speaker 6: games to play and they had a play in Pica
Speaker 6: in the last in the round thirty three. Yeah, round
Speaker 6: thirty three had a play in Pica. I think it's
Speaker 6: gonna be over, even though with all the injuries. Like
Speaker 6: I told my buddy that A Gomes, who's the Sporting guy.
Speaker 4: When the last lap comes in in Portudal, Right.
Speaker 6: Your car is gonna be with a transmission leak, Your
Speaker 6: tires will be flapped. You got no rear saw window memors.
Speaker 6: You came your your besto is blurry. You went across
Speaker 6: the line in first place. That's guys, went.
Speaker 2: Over, oh Man.
Speaker 1: Sporting is a minus one eighty five at home, hosting Braga.
Speaker 1: The plus four seventy six. Benfica is favored on the
Speaker 1: road at a plus one forty eight. Porto is a
Speaker 1: plus one eighty three. Is a home dog, so that's
Speaker 1: that's what it is that's what you all right, So
Speaker 1: one that you wanted to discuss. And I saved this
Speaker 1: one for the last on purpose. And here here's how
Speaker 1: he writes it. My first time with Mama at the
Speaker 1: stadium was epic. Break this down.
Speaker 6: It was beautiful, right because first off, I didn't know
Speaker 6: that she was gonna go right, she just showed up
Speaker 6: on my I'm like, hey, can I can I can

Speaker 1: the green room.
Speaker 2: He's done. Literally, one, two, three, ring the bell, ring
Speaker 2: the bell. He's done.
Speaker 1: But yeah, after Tuga Tuesday, after last night, and then

Speaker 1: credit for sticking with it. And I tried to low
Speaker 1: geared as best I could so he wasn't gonna be
Speaker 1: like yelling at the top of his lungs. So we
Speaker 1: get all the topics in, we get to sit there
Speaker 1: and it's like, okay, we'll talk about stuff and make
Speaker 1: sure that he doesn't get bent out of shape, because
Speaker 1: that's the last thing you need because he's got to
Speaker 1: be ready for activity on Saturday. Last night in the
Speaker 1: Libertadors and by the way, Howard Hamilton from Soccer Metrics
Speaker 1: does the Couple of Abertadores show. You can listen to
Speaker 1: that on the network. Last night, Salpolo was a dog
Speaker 1: and beat to Sheriff's Courdiba at a plus two thirty
Speaker 1: eight one nil. Universa did the Chile one nil winners
Speaker 1: at home as an underdog to booth the Fogo. That's

Speaker 1: the road at Deportivo Taishira out of Venezuela at a
Speaker 1: plus seven oh one. You're in the group stage right
Speaker 1: now in Roberta d'oris. So that's the best way to
Speaker 1: hang out and look at all that stuff and find
Speaker 1: out what's going on. And that's why we bring in
Speaker 1: our buddy Neino Torres every week because of what he
Speaker 1: does when he calls the activity on Gold TV.
Speaker 2: It gives us that.
Speaker 1: Window into Europe, and with him being live in Lima
Speaker 1: Blank and Peru, gives us the window to everything going
Speaker 1: on in South America on a weekly basis.
Speaker 2: So absolutely true.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but yeah, so apparently Abby they got in with
Speaker 1: with the team vehicles. That's one way to do it.

Speaker 1: Y or Z. And then they'll look at the They'll

Speaker 1: come on. And then we'll look at it and go, man,
Speaker 1: that's a different set of stones, different set of stones
Speaker 1: altogether when it comes to piecing those things together. Quick

Speaker 2: How are you, my friend? Good morning? What cup of
Speaker 2: coffee are you on?
Speaker 9: Good morning? My man, John, as the h Family did
Speaker 9: this cup number one? Actually you could hear my voice.
Speaker 9: I'm just trying to get those juices flowing. I'm trying
Speaker 9: to get dad coffee into my blood stream.
Speaker 5: But here I am ready to go.
Speaker 9: It was a little bit of a late night going
Speaker 9: over a little bit of the Conker Calf games last night,
Speaker 9: but it's been it's been a great week, man, It's
Speaker 9: been a lot of information going at one time, a
Speaker 9: lot of content put through.
Speaker 5: Like you mentioned Sandra Hardpool's Sports.
Speaker 9: Got to finally meet and talk to mister Ryan Kant
Speaker 9: and man, it's it's a guy that definitely radiates some confidence.
Speaker 9: So here to talk about whatever you want, John, I'm
Speaker 9: all yours.
Speaker 1: All right, So let's start with that late night and
Speaker 1: what went down in the Conca caf hemispheric extravaganza. I
Speaker 1: mentioned it in the open of the show that apparently
Speaker 1: somebody in social media for Messi and Friends thought it
Speaker 1: would be a great idea to hang a pink jersey
Speaker 1: from the Kobe Bryant statue in Los Angeles, like literally
Speaker 1: on the Kobe Bryant statue. You're messing with all kinds
Speaker 1: of juju when you do that, and as it turned out,
Speaker 1: LAFC got the one.
Speaker 2: They'll win.
Speaker 5: You do not.
Speaker 1: You don't step on Superman's cape, you don't spit in
Speaker 1: the wind, you don't pull the mask off of the
Speaker 1: Lone Ranger, and you don't hang an inner Miami jersey
Speaker 1: on the Kobe Bryant statue.
Speaker 5: Well, I missed that.
Speaker 9: I don't know what lost mine decided to do that
Speaker 9: sort of prank, But oh my, that is like you mentioned,
Speaker 9: and you put very well, that's just the wrong type
Speaker 9: of energy you want to put on your team. You know,
Speaker 9: someone has beloved as Kobe Bryant, who obviously because of
Speaker 9: the circumstances of his passing, I mean, come on, let's
Speaker 9: really get it together.
Speaker 5: Beyond the man, beyond the.
Speaker 9: Legend, the point scor that he was, just everything about
Speaker 9: the way of his passing should never ever be involved
Speaker 9: in something like that.
Speaker 1: My goodness, people just have no sense, And so of
Speaker 1: course the karma gods and they whacked their finger at
Speaker 1: Messi and friends the one nil win them that way,
Speaker 1: and Vancouver and pumas a one one draw in the
Speaker 1: first leg of these quarters.
Speaker 9: Well maybe that's why. Maybe that's why or Dust didn't
Speaker 9: get a red card. I mean, I don't know, but
Speaker 9: either way, I mean, you are absolutely right, man, Although
Speaker 9: I missed that, maybe that makes a little bit of
Speaker 9: sense on why Messi was so limited, what he seemed
Speaker 9: so mortal in this game. He was not the magician.
Speaker 9: He was not the Messi that was gonna take over.
Speaker 9: He had a couple of moments, but man, hellau C
Speaker 9: rightfully won that.
Speaker 2: Game, all right.
Speaker 1: So let's get into the fun that you're having up
Speaker 1: there at Providence in Swedish bouncy house and daycare center.
Speaker 1: Ryan kent in the door. It was something that you
Speaker 1: had been discussing last week. It is now officially official,
Speaker 1: early returns, early vibes, early thoughts about him being now
Speaker 1: a part of what's going on since Seattle needed help.
Speaker 5: Look, let's start by.
Speaker 10: Highlighting the fact that Ryan Ken was more open, more
Speaker 10: engaged about everything surrounding his situation than I expected.
Speaker 9: This is a guy that has dealt with I'm sure,
Speaker 9: plenty of pressure, a lot more media members than there
Speaker 9: were at Providence that specific day, Providence in Swedish, and
Speaker 9: yet he was very open about everything and answer every
Speaker 9: question and took the time to answer every question, even
Speaker 9: some questions that he didn't really understand. And I'll get
Speaker 9: to that here in a second. But if there were
Speaker 9: a couple of things to point out, was one he
Speaker 9: mentioned and was very clear about why he wanted to
Speaker 9: come to Seattle. He said that MLS is a place
Speaker 9: that he sees growing, that he's getting better, and it
Speaker 9: felt like the right move for him.
Speaker 5: He mentioned that he declined.
Speaker 9: Several offers from other leagues and other teams prior to
Speaker 9: come into MLS.
Speaker 5: That might sound like a little bit of chalk or
Speaker 5: maybe not.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 9: I'm not sure if that's what it is, but going
Speaker 9: and doing a little bit more research. Apparently there were
Speaker 9: some European teams that reached out to Ryan Kenton. He
Speaker 9: decided to come to MLS, so I thought that was interest.
Speaker 9: And then number three, he mentioned that this is the
Speaker 9: easiest transition he's ever had because the group has no egos.
Speaker 9: He mentioned he said this group is so inviting, there
Speaker 9: are no egos in here. It's all about just the group.
Speaker 9: So it seems like a guy that wants to come
Speaker 9: and perform wants to obviously reignite his career. Greg Wibole
Speaker 9: mentioned reviving the love for the game, and after you
Speaker 9: go through the things that he went through.
Speaker 5: At Fernabacci, where you are blacklisted, you're.
Speaker 9: Put into this individual bubble and you're kept away from
Speaker 9: the group and you have to end up getting released
Speaker 9: from a club, I could understand why you have to
Speaker 9: revive that, reignite that love for the game.
Speaker 5: So just very frank, very honest.
Speaker 9: The other thing that I want to say before I
Speaker 9: move on to what we've seen of him in training
Speaker 9: is that he did clarify that the issues were not
Speaker 9: with Jossem Mourinho.
Speaker 5: The issues were with those running the Turkish club.
Speaker 9: He actually mentioned that Jose Mourinho was very good with
Speaker 9: him and he saw the opportunity to work with him
Speaker 9: as a as a great deal. So I just love
Speaker 9: what he said in all general senses. The one question
Speaker 9: he didn't understand, because apparently ted Lasso is not as
Speaker 9: popular as you may think in the UK or in England,
Speaker 9: was the roy Ken reference. Jada Evans for the Scatter
Speaker 9: Times asked him about the he's here, he's there, he's
Speaker 9: everywhere chance and he had no idea what they were
Speaker 9: talking about. So he said, that's new for me, is
Speaker 9: what he mentioned. So clearly tell USO, it's not his show.
Speaker 2: Okay.
Speaker 1: Do you think with him now in how different do
Speaker 1: you envision things offensively for Seattle formationally approach? Is it
Speaker 1: going to be different? Is it just going to be
Speaker 1: putting Ryan Kent in plug and play? How are you
Speaker 1: envisioning this now?
Speaker 9: I think it's going to be a plug and play
Speaker 9: simply because of the way Brian operates. I think one
Speaker 9: of my criticisms towards Brian and the Perreira situation was
Speaker 9: that that they wanted to just bring in Ferrera and
Speaker 9: plugging in.
Speaker 5: He's got to play to our rhythm.
Speaker 9: He's got to to Jordan Moorish esque stuff because that's
Speaker 9: what's been working rather than kind of creating a game
Speaker 9: system around for Era. I think with Ryan Kent is
Speaker 9: gonna be similar. He is an all out winger. That's
Speaker 9: what he does. He's a pacy winger. You want him
Speaker 9: out wide, you want him taking on guys. He's a
Speaker 9: creative player that is gonna have a hard time staying
Speaker 9: in one pocket or doing certain things. So to me,
Speaker 9: winger is the best position for him. But Brian has
Speaker 9: been very animate and he's kind of dying on the
Speaker 9: hill of I'm playing with wingbags and I'm playing with
Speaker 9: a three center back system in the back. That would
Speaker 9: put Ryan in those inside channels behind the nine. I
Speaker 9: think he could do that function because, like I said,
Speaker 9: he's very creative. He can use someone that pace. There
Speaker 9: could be some underlaps from Paul rock Rock where that
Speaker 9: would leave Ryan Kent out wide. So could it work, Yeah,
Speaker 9: but I think it is going to be a plug
Speaker 9: and play or Ryan Kent. Now seeing him on the
Speaker 9: training field, the dude is different. I mean, the guy
Speaker 9: is good. And I'm telling you that as soon as
Speaker 9: a guy that first ball hits his foot, you can
Speaker 9: tell a lot about a soccer player and the guys
Speaker 9: just quality.
Speaker 5: He scored a great goal with.
Speaker 9: His left maybe I don't know, eighteen yards out, twenty
Speaker 9: yards out. Then he had one with his right foot,
Speaker 9: so he's ambdestrious. He could hit it just as well
Speaker 9: with his right as he can with his left. The
Speaker 9: guy is just taking players on his first touch, he's
Speaker 9: so clean.
Speaker 5: So spot on.
Speaker 9: Seattle's gonna have some competition with this guy if he
Speaker 9: can continue to stay healthy. Apparently he passed all the
Speaker 9: fitness exams with flying colors, but now we're talking about
Speaker 9: game rhythm, game fitness, which is different. How quickly can
Speaker 9: he get there? But if this guy is one hundred
Speaker 9: percent ready to go, it's going to be some competition
Speaker 9: up there. I would say that Ferrera right now could
Speaker 9: be the guy looking outside in because of his lack
Speaker 9: of productivity and the fact that he hasn't really cemented
Speaker 9: himself as a nine. And Bryan Smetzer kind of mentioned
Speaker 9: after the San Jose game that he kind of wanted
Speaker 9: to give Dani Musavski another go at the nine. So
Speaker 9: if you're thinking of ferreirah more at a cam if
Speaker 9: you will, or at another attacking, creative midfielder, that he
Speaker 9: kind of he might be behind Ryan if what we've
Speaker 9: seen in training is any indication of how he will
Speaker 9: perform on the field. So it's going to be a
Speaker 9: lot of competition for sure.
Speaker 1: Other big news and we talked to Daniel Sperry from
Speaker 1: the Kansas City Star in our Number one was the
Speaker 1: dismissal of Peter Urmes, finally happening in Kansas City, the
Speaker 1: loss to FC Dallas. I mean, there seem to be
Speaker 1: a lot of stops and starts in this notion for
Speaker 1: the last handful of years. You get off to a
Speaker 1: bad start, Kansas City comes storming back. You get off
Speaker 1: to a bad start, you have some injuries, you find
Speaker 1: some folks in the summer, you bring in three new pickups.
Speaker 1: Then you come in into the playoffs, and then you
Speaker 1: make a run. You do well an Open Cup, even
Speaker 1: though it hurts you in Major League Soccer, and everybody
Speaker 1: sits there and looks as you chase after an Open Cup,
Speaker 1: an Open Cup title. This year, I know that a
Speaker 1: lot of folks were kicking dirt on them when they
Speaker 1: were down one match, three nil to LAFC and then
Speaker 1: the Bishop Dejon yovol It starts three goals in twelve minutes.
Speaker 1: You come back to get a three three draw, and
Speaker 1: you're sitting there going, oh, there's something there. Then with
Speaker 1: Luco and FC Dallas. FC Dallas gets the win to one,
Speaker 1: and now Kansas City is looking sporting. Kansas City is
Speaker 1: looking for a new manager. What has been the idea
Speaker 1: out on the West coast with you and everybody out
Speaker 1: there in the Pacific time zone about Peter Rumy's now
Speaker 1: being sent packing mutually parting of ways from Kansas City's
Speaker 1: I've been like out west.
Speaker 9: I think there's two schools of thought here. One is
Speaker 9: a little bit of that more purist MLS fan base
Speaker 9: that was surprised that Peter ended up finally getting sacked,
Speaker 9: if you will, and knowing what he meant for that franchise.
Speaker 9: You can't say Sporting Kansas City without saying Peter Burmese,
Speaker 9: he literally created built this thing from the very star
Speaker 9: very beginning. You probably wouldn't have them as a men's
Speaker 9: national team hosts Sin City if he wasn't for Peter Burmese.
Speaker 9: That said the other, and I find myself more on
Speaker 9: the thought process of it was about time and it
Speaker 9: was maybe too late.
Speaker 5: It honestly talks about the lack of.
Speaker 9: Decision making and the issues that are and will remain
Speaker 9: in Sporting as a city, which his ownership. If you
Speaker 9: were going to make this move, why extend him just recently?
Speaker 9: Why not make that move before? The issues that we've
Speaker 9: seen this year are no different than the issue we've
Speaker 9: seen with Kansas City over the last four years. Me
Speaker 9: and you and I have both sat on this exact
Speaker 9: same show and talked about is it time for Peter
Speaker 9: Remiss to go?
Speaker 5: And we were both surprised.
Speaker 9: I think, maybe I'm speaking for myself, I think you
Speaker 9: were surprised as well that he got extended with Sporting
Speaker 9: Kansas City. So why not make that move early enough
Speaker 9: where in the off season you could bring in a
Speaker 9: guy that could have a whole new idea finally break
Speaker 9: down that operation into a GM and a head coach.
Speaker 9: But the timing of it all just seems so lazy,
Speaker 9: and he seems so reactive. And that's the part where
Speaker 9: I feel like Peter Remus gives the short of this
Speaker 9: of the stick because I had that decision man at
Speaker 9: the right time, even himself would have had more time
Speaker 9: to do other things.
Speaker 5: So I just think he.
Speaker 9: Speaks to Sporting Kansas City's issues that are internally still there.
Speaker 9: But in all honestly, I am in honestly, I'm glad
Speaker 9: that Peter Remese gets to move on and now we
Speaker 9: get to think about not right now, not at this
Speaker 9: specific time, but we will just think about the Peter
Speaker 9: Burmese that was he is a legacy what he created,
Speaker 9: and we're no longer judging him on the poor performances
Speaker 9: that Sporting Kansas City has had as of the last
Speaker 9: four years.
Speaker 2: In your mind, what is his legacy?
Speaker 1: Because I asked Daniel if he was underappreciated as you know,
Speaker 1: as manager or whatever you wanted to classify him there
Speaker 1: at Sporting is he is he underappreciated? And Daniel said yes,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of that has to do with
Speaker 1: the market that he's in. Yeah, and you know those
Speaker 1: of us, you know, you on the left coast and
Speaker 1: me on the east coast and all all of the
Speaker 1: points in between. It's like you kind of skip over
Speaker 1: the Midwest. And so Peter Vermes in conversation only comes
Speaker 1: up when you're in the extremes of Oh Sporting is
Speaker 1: doing really well.
Speaker 2: Oh they've made a great acquisition. Oh they're off to
Speaker 2: a really bad start.
Speaker 1: Instead of looking at the larger picture, what do you
Speaker 1: think his legacy either is or should be or both.
Speaker 5: I think the legacy is what.
Speaker 9: The trophy case in Sporting Kansas City says today. The
Speaker 9: players that he developed and brought in, like Bussio in
Speaker 9: that specific club and what he was able to do
Speaker 9: to elevate, as.
Speaker 5: You mentioned, a small market team into.
Speaker 9: One of at a particular moment in time, one of
Speaker 9: the elite teams in West the Western Conference that you
Speaker 9: would think every single year, Sporting because the city was
Speaker 9: going to be a contender for a title, and the
Speaker 9: fact that in the US soccer scale and in the
Speaker 9: US soccer parameter, it became a hub, it became a community,
Speaker 9: a city that lived off soccer. So Peter Remes was
Speaker 9: able to gather all of the essence that was there
Speaker 9: in Sporting Kanda City and created into this monument and
Speaker 9: created into this team, this club that would have not
Speaker 9: been as successful and as important in general skills without him.
Speaker 1: Other matchups last week Toronto and Vancouver played for ninety minutes.
Speaker 1: If you watch it, you probably can't get that back
Speaker 1: in your lifetime. Colorado shout out. Charlotte Columbus beat DC.
Speaker 1: Messi and Friends beat Philadelphia. Chicago only scored one against
Speaker 1: CF Montreal, which I thought was you know, substandard from them.
Speaker 1: Minnesota over RSL. Since he beat Nashville Purple Team beat
Speaker 1: lag PAINTSI was on the bench, So he's getting back
Speaker 1: to full song, San Diego and LAFC had the five
Speaker 1: goal thrill. I think all five of those were in
Speaker 1: the first half, and San Jose and San Jose and
Speaker 1: Seattle a one one draw. First off, san Jose and
Speaker 1: Seattle a one one draw. Your takeaways from that one?
Speaker 5: Yes, uh, the same issues remain, and I was.
Speaker 9: Relieved to see Brian Smetster at least make a change
Speaker 9: for the sake of the result of the match, meaning
Speaker 9: Jesus Feerira was a dot at the nine in this one.
Speaker 9: The first half was hard to watch for any Sounder
Speaker 9: fan at all. I thought that San Jose created more
Speaker 9: chances they get ahead on the score they honestly could
Speaker 9: have had ended up getting a two zero lead in
Speaker 9: this one because there was such a stagnant offense from
Speaker 9: a Sounders team that could not hit in transition that Ferrarasi,
Speaker 9: who occupied the same space as that others did that
Speaker 9: you were not able to stretch out a poor quite honestly,
Speaker 9: san Jose defense. But Brian makes a change, puts Mussovski
Speaker 9: up top, brings back for a little bit, and Massovski,
Speaker 9: despite his own limitations and in ability.
Speaker 5: To score because he had a couple of clear chances
Speaker 5: in front of goal.
Speaker 9: To give him credit for the high rate of work,
Speaker 9: for the effort or the pushing the dirty work, if
Speaker 9: you will, I thought he did pretty decent and Seattle
Speaker 9: all of a sudden in the second half became alive.
Speaker 9: They created twenty shots on twenty shots of those that
Speaker 9: he was eight on target. They were able to at
Speaker 9: least up their volume of opportunities.
Speaker 5: But it's still not good enough.
Speaker 9: And it feels like with Seattle that's been the phrase
Speaker 9: that I most commonly used is just not good enough.
Speaker 9: So a one one drop, it's okay, eh, it's on
Speaker 9: the road, so you add what you can. But to me,
Speaker 9: the performance for Seattle was just not good enough one
Speaker 9: more time. And in terms of San Jose, I feel
Speaker 9: like this is a team that needs one more piece,
Speaker 9: one more component to be a better, more balanced team.
Speaker 9: And specifically at midfield. I like a I like what
Speaker 9: he does, but I feel like there has to be
Speaker 9: a more functional midfielder that can provide a little bit
Speaker 9: more of an eighth functionality for that San Jose team
Speaker 9: to do better. But in all sense, I think Seattle,
Speaker 9: at least with that second half, might be able to
Speaker 9: carry some of the momentum against this San Diego challenge
Speaker 9: that is going to be a lot harder than that
Speaker 9: San Jose game. But all in all, I wasn't surprised
Speaker 9: with the draw. I mentioned that here San Jose has
Speaker 9: always been difficult for Seattle, and that's exactly what you
Speaker 9: got out of those ninety minutes.
Speaker 1: All right, So since you mentioned San Diego, does their
Speaker 1: one o our LAFC say more about them or LAFC No,
Speaker 1: I think this.
Speaker 9: Is more about them. Look, they took that game to
Speaker 9: LAFC and out thought that from the very beginning. They
Speaker 9: dominated tempo, they dominated possessions. They're the best possession team
Speaker 9: in the league. Dryer can do so many different things
Speaker 9: for you.
Speaker 5: They're so.
Speaker 9: Dangerous on set pieces. Every set piece is designed, every
Speaker 9: set piece is.
Speaker 5: Committed. It just seems like they work on.
Speaker 9: Their set pieces the restarts so well that they really
Speaker 9: put LAFC against the ropes. Those five goals were all
Speaker 9: in the first half, but San Diego started with all three.
Speaker 9: Then LAFC gets a little bit of a response and
Speaker 9: they're able to kind of get back into this game.
Speaker 9: But to me, san Diego dominated sev those ninety minutes,
Speaker 9: if not seventy five. Obviously, Igor Jesus gets a red
Speaker 9: card and that give San Diego the opportunity to get
Speaker 9: even higher field and endback even farther, a very deep
Speaker 9: blocked l a FC team. But I just really like
Speaker 9: what I see from this team. They know what, they
Speaker 9: know how they want to play. They have experienced midfield.
Speaker 9: I thought that Godoy the Electoria were both sensational. Ah
Speaker 9: Travor Verstkov I always chopped up his name, but the
Speaker 9: Danish midfielder, he's so good. He does so many things right.
Speaker 9: Simplicity in his game is the best attribute for this team,
Speaker 9: and they just seem to have it all together. Even
Speaker 9: tu Quilosano came in lane because he finally got on
Speaker 9: the bench, and he should have had at least two goals.
Speaker 5: So this team just has so many weapons. But their biggest.
Speaker 9: Edge on any team is how well they execute the
Speaker 9: game plan that's worked through the entirety of the week.
Speaker 9: You could just see it what Mika Tavars wants is
Speaker 9: when Mika Tavares gets consistently, and that puts your floor
Speaker 9: so much higher.
Speaker 5: So this is a difficult team.
Speaker 9: Seattle's going to have their hands for sure, But in
Speaker 9: this LAFC game San Diego, I think he says more
Speaker 9: about how good San Diego is rather than the struggles
Speaker 9: that LAFC is having.
Speaker 1: All right, so we'll hang on to San Diego. Seattle,
Speaker 1: by the way in a rainstorm, Austin beat All Caps,
Speaker 1: and Portland beat Houston. Getting into this week's activity will
Speaker 1: save San Diego, and Seattle will save Atlanta and Dallas.
Speaker 1: We'll go through all the others, and if there's something
Speaker 1: you want to talk about, we'll stop Charlotte and Nashville.
Speaker 1: Charlott's at home at minus one oh three RSL at
Speaker 1: home against Lag coming off of the midweek performances, RSL
Speaker 1: is a plus one ten favored.
Speaker 2: Understandably so Crew in.
Speaker 1: Montreal Crew, And I've said this on the air and
Speaker 1: I will continue to reinforce this to tell you if
Speaker 1: Montreal beats Crew at a plus five sixty nine, I
Speaker 1: will drink.
Speaker 2: Diet mountain dew on the air Monday Monday.
Speaker 1: If Montreal beats Crew, I'm drinking diet mountain dew, that is,
Speaker 1: and you'll see it. It's not just gonna be in
Speaker 1: a cup where you sit there and go, is he
Speaker 1: really drinking it?
Speaker 6: No?
Speaker 2: It'll be.
Speaker 1: It'll be completely and totally advertised cruise of minus two
Speaker 1: thirty eight Cincinnati minus one eighty two hosting the revs.
Speaker 1: Red Bulls in Chicago. This one is actually interesting. Red
Speaker 1: Bulls of minus one thirty seven Chicago threw up that
Speaker 1: clunker last week. They're a plus three sixty six on
Speaker 1: the road plus two four for the draw in that one.
Speaker 2: What's the draw plus two six'? Four ooh.
Speaker 5: MAN i would love to take that win by Uh.
Speaker 9: Chicago but if there's anything The Red bulls does is
Speaker 9: give them some of the chance in every, game and
Speaker 9: Cord now has been, Fantastic the defense has been really.
Speaker 9: Good chicago was not at their best last, week and
Speaker 9: you could see Where Red bulls could have a floor
Speaker 9: plan on how to work this. Game that's why to,
Speaker 9: me this is gonna be a, clear not very high scoring.
Speaker 9: Game might be a one, one maybe a zero, zero
Speaker 9: but to, me that's for sure going to be a. Draw,
Speaker 9: however it will be interesting how Reggel halter kind of
Speaker 9: figures out coming from a bit of a, punker the
Speaker 9: way you put, it and then maybe trying to figure
Speaker 9: some things out in a nuisance of this game against
Speaker 9: The Red.
Speaker 2: Bulls so just so you have the.
Speaker 1: Numbers under two and a half is a minus one oh.
Speaker 1: Five under two is a plus one ninety three one
Speaker 1: and a half a plus two sixty seven for the under.
Speaker 2: You're sticking. With you're sticking with the.
Speaker 9: DRAW i know you thinking with a Drum, YEAH a
Speaker 9: look too risky there for.
Speaker 1: Me, NO i like the draw just AS i heard
Speaker 1: that thought come out of your your mouth And i'm, like,
Speaker 1: yeah he's sticking.
Speaker 2: With Just.
Speaker 1: Philly at Homes favored against The Purple. Team austin at
Speaker 1: home of minus one thirty Hosting Portland houston and keep
Speaker 1: an eye On Ben. Olsen favored at home AGAINST lafc once.
Speaker 1: Again coming out of midweek. Play they're at a plus
Speaker 1: one forty. One sporting in All. Caps sporting is a
Speaker 1: plus one twenty With kerrie's a W agnen new coach.
Speaker 1: BUMP i GUESS i don't know plus one. Twenty i'm
Speaker 1: not touching that one BECAUSE i got too many. Questions
Speaker 1: vancouver And Colorado vancouver favored after having Played pumas last.
Speaker 1: Night they're favored at, home With colorado coming To vancouver
Speaker 1: at a plus three. Fifty New York city Hosting minnesota,
Speaker 1: favored AND i guess they're going to play on THAT
Speaker 1: u twelve pitch in The.
Speaker 2: BRONX i gotta looks.
Speaker 5: It colorado is plus three.
Speaker 2: FIFTY i like that.
Speaker 9: LOOK i love What vancouver is, doing BUT i think
Speaker 9: that they were challenged to a whole new.
Speaker 5: Level again's.
Speaker 9: Pumas they should have won that, game by the, WAY
Speaker 9: i got to give them all of the, credit even
Speaker 9: to the very last. Minute that ball By ocampo there
Speaker 9: in the ninety fourth minute for that header should have
Speaker 9: put it away From. Vancouver, unfortunately they were unable to do.
Speaker 9: It both goals came up with set. PIECES i get,
Speaker 9: that and it probably wasn't the most brilliant soccer offensive
Speaker 9: game that you could. See but the, physicality everything about
Speaker 9: that GAME i feel like drained That vancouver.
Speaker 5: Team that depth is not their.
Speaker 9: Forte, colorado in the other, hand coming from a very
Speaker 9: good two zero win Over, charlotte a very Good charlotte.
Speaker 9: Team Jordan halovich starting to look like the former candidate
Speaker 9: FOR mvp of THE. MLS i think that he is
Speaker 9: a guy that is really putting things, together a Like.
Speaker 9: Novajo give Me colorado in this, One give Me. Colorado
Speaker 9: in this, ONE i. Am i'm actually gonna put it.
Speaker 9: DOWN i Like colorado.
Speaker 1: Plus three FIFTY mc favored at home Against Minnesota, United
Speaker 1: San jose at home favored AGAINST Dc united and Inner
Speaker 1: miami's minus two thirty eight As toronto comes to visit
Speaker 1: For Sunday night soccer at a plus five sixty two all,
Speaker 1: right two Left San diego And. Seattle San diego at
Speaker 1: home a plus one twenty, five Hosting seattle plus two
Speaker 1: thirty three for the Draw seattle a plus two oh.
Speaker 2: Nine let's say you.
Speaker 5: That's a tough.
Speaker 9: One quite, honestly being a betting, MAN i would definitely
Speaker 9: put some money on the, draw BUT i would not
Speaker 9: be surprised That San diego wins this team this. GAME
Speaker 9: i Think San diego can really take the ball away From.
Speaker 9: SEATTLE i feel Like seattle's had a hard time when
Speaker 9: they cannot dictate.
Speaker 5: Possession you saw it At.
Speaker 9: Kruzsoul you've seen it whenever this team is unable to
Speaker 9: get that ball, back And San diego's is better at.
Speaker 9: It that has worked so well For San, diego AND
Speaker 9: i don't know If seattle matches upwell specifically in some
Speaker 9: of those half spaces So i'm gonna go ahead and
Speaker 9: Take San. Diego i'm gonna take the, draw But i'm
Speaker 9: saying THAT i wouldn't be surprised If San diego won this.
Speaker 9: GAME i wouldn't Take seattle's, win to be, honest but
Speaker 9: the best result The seattle can come up with that
Speaker 9: of this, one to, me is a. Draw San diego's
Speaker 9: had issues at. Home they finally won against the L,
Speaker 9: afc so maybe that is something to look, at BUT
Speaker 9: i just haven't seen enough From. Seattle. Obviously Ryan kentz
Speaker 9: not playing in this, one And pedro de La vega
Speaker 9: And Jordan morris both are full on practice this, week
Speaker 9: BUT i do not expect either one of them to
Speaker 9: play this. Game so between the injuries and how Good
Speaker 9: San diego has, Been i'll probably go with the, draw.
Speaker 1: All, Right and that lays out the last matchup to
Speaker 1: talk About lucho AND Fc dallas coming To. Atlanta atlanta
Speaker 1: minus one forty three draws a plus three. HUNDRED Fc
Speaker 1: dallas is a plus three forty. Two luco has always
Speaker 1: been a constant pain and then you know what For.
Speaker 1: Atlanta atlanta favored big at home On saturday.
Speaker 9: Night i'm Taking atlanta again and they did not let me,
Speaker 9: down although they just wanted me to just have a Awful.
Speaker 9: Saturday and they're just giving up, goals gifting goals right and.
Speaker 9: Left if a plan could just figure out their defense
Speaker 9: and figure out how not to just gift, Goals they're
Speaker 9: going to be such a good, team, man such a good.
Speaker 9: Team love what All marone did after a phenomenal coming
Speaker 9: BALL fifa window there With parauai Marn chuck had a
Speaker 9: very good. Game lack of a lot is. Dangerous maybe
Speaker 9: not the whole, game but you know that he's gonna
Speaker 9: have a. Moment every single, game he will have a,
Speaker 9: moment and he had one.
Speaker 5: Here so give Me.
Speaker 9: ATLANTA i THINK Fc dallas has issues of their. Own
Speaker 9: there's such a slow paced, team and if something That
Speaker 9: atlanta has struggle with is a little bit of the
Speaker 9: direct play and the good, PRESSURE i don't Think dallas
Speaker 9: could do.
Speaker 5: Either and Therefore i'm gonna go ahead and Take, atlanta all.
