WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:05.000 How about now there we go. This is what happens, 2 00:00:05.040 --> 00:00:08.000 and this is Opening Kickoff. Thank you, Ricky. By the way, 3 00:00:08.880 --> 00:00:14.720 this is what happens when you have when your computer 4 00:00:14.960 --> 00:00:20.000 allegedly nothing like the first three minutes of the show, 5 00:00:20.079 --> 00:00:24.879 just completely going. All right, So anyway, this is what 6 00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:31.039 happens when you have a computer. Well, yeah, better be 7 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.359 good now, Okay, so I tell you what, here's what 8 00:00:33.399 --> 00:00:38.000 I'm gonna do since you heard me, and I'm just 9 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:39.759 gonna go ahead. I'm gonna go ahead and do this 10 00:00:40.200 --> 00:00:42.920 just as like a Friday's being Friday already. So we're 11 00:00:42.920 --> 00:00:56.840 gonna do this all right now. Okay, so here's the deal. 12 00:00:57.200 --> 00:00:59.399 Opening Kickoff brought to us buy our friends at Kickoff 13 00:00:59.399 --> 00:01:04.319 Coffee and kick cofcoffeeco dot com. It's already been one 14 00:01:04.359 --> 00:01:07.680 of those mornings. So there's your QR code for those 15 00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:09.799 of you who are watching us. However you're watching us, 16 00:01:09.840 --> 00:01:12.040 whether it is on the two hundred and eighty character 17 00:01:12.040 --> 00:01:14.599 app on Twitch or on our YouTube channel. Yeah, it 18 00:01:14.640 --> 00:01:18.040 is a restart, Ricky, because and this is opening Kickoff. 19 00:01:18.040 --> 00:01:21.159 And here's why. I don't know how many of you 20 00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:24.439 get to experience this as much as I do. But 21 00:01:26.760 --> 00:01:30.560 the computer decides whenever it decides it wants to update. 22 00:01:31.480 --> 00:01:36.120 And when it updated overnight and didn't tell me that 23 00:01:36.159 --> 00:01:37.799 it was gonna you know, I didn't get any kind 24 00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:40.680 of an email or anything saying that, hey, you know, 25 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:45.040 we're going to update, and it didn't. It didn't tell 26 00:01:45.079 --> 00:01:48.200 me that, and so it updated, and so literally it 27 00:01:48.640 --> 00:01:55.239 basically re screwed up everything, and so now I had 28 00:01:55.280 --> 00:01:58.120 to and apparently I'm doing this on the fly this morning, 29 00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:04.120 where I'm checking audio inputs and outputs, computer inputs and outputs, 30 00:02:04.200 --> 00:02:09.840 video inputs and outputs, passwords. So basically the computer here 31 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.280 that helps allegedly me here in Office HD, decided it 32 00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:19.560 was going to update and basically messed up everything. And 33 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:21.960 so now I'm having to troubleshoot live on the air 34 00:02:23.400 --> 00:02:26.560 because I'm not necessarily thinking that, oh, by the way, 35 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.479 I've updated all of the passwords and I've blown out 36 00:02:29.520 --> 00:02:31.680 all the cookies and all of these things need to 37 00:02:31.680 --> 00:02:35.520 be updated. So you have to backtrack and yeah, you've 38 00:02:35.520 --> 00:02:37.840 got to recheck all your connections. I don't get that 39 00:02:37.960 --> 00:02:43.039 notification from the computer here in Office HD. So that's 40 00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:44.919 the kind of morning it is. I've basically had to 41 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:51.520 reset passwords. I've had to apparently find out that there's 42 00:02:51.599 --> 00:02:54.199 no audio coming out for the first two minutes of 43 00:02:54.240 --> 00:02:57.759 the show, and then figure out what the hell's going on, 44 00:02:57.800 --> 00:03:00.800 because it had happened once before, and I found out 45 00:03:00.840 --> 00:03:03.400 what it was when we were troubleshooting. Remember the Nixonian 46 00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:05.280 gap that we had like a week or two ago, 47 00:03:06.280 --> 00:03:09.800 something like that happened, and so anyway, all right, so 48 00:03:10.080 --> 00:03:12.439 let me restart and let you know what's going on. 49 00:03:12.520 --> 00:03:15.800 Okay, we got a lot of news. 50 00:03:16.319 --> 00:03:19.879 We'll get into news leading into hopefully our friends from 51 00:03:19.879 --> 00:03:22.120 Beyond Goals entering if they can join us at nine thirty, 52 00:03:22.120 --> 00:03:23.680 because I know that Greg and Kap are two of 53 00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:26.560 the busiest men of the planet, and we will see, 54 00:03:27.759 --> 00:03:30.360 if you know, if Vegan come and join us, and 55 00:03:30.360 --> 00:03:33.199 we'll see what's going on with them at nine to 56 00:03:33.319 --> 00:03:35.479 thirty ten o'clock as we can whip run patent pending 57 00:03:35.479 --> 00:03:40.199 trademark coming center hopefully rather than later, and then we'll 58 00:03:40.400 --> 00:03:43.280 that's all the weekend preview stuff, and we'll get into 59 00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:45.039 all of that, and we get to catch up with 60 00:03:45.039 --> 00:03:47.360 folks that we didn't get to catch up with earlier 61 00:03:47.400 --> 00:03:49.400 in the week because I had to do stuff on 62 00:03:49.439 --> 00:03:52.479 Wednesday that didn't have anything to do with SDH, and 63 00:03:52.560 --> 00:03:55.960 so it's whoever wants to hop in the pile that 64 00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:57.120 we didn't have as a. 65 00:03:57.039 --> 00:03:59.960 Guest because of Wednesday being Wednesday. 66 00:04:00.759 --> 00:04:05.159 So yeah, that's our number two, getting you ready for 67 00:04:05.199 --> 00:04:07.360 the weekend Major League Soccer, Landy and I and all 68 00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:09.199 that kind of stuff.

The high school ranks, we got 112 00:06:30.199 --> 00:06:32.240 to catch up with them too, because while it is 113 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.399 American football season, it's a little it's you know, obviously 114 00:06:35.399 --> 00:06:36.800 it's a deeper conversation than that. 115 00:06:36.879 --> 00:06:38.360 So we'll start catching up with folks on the high 116 00:06:38.360 --> 00:06:39.000 school side. 117 00:06:39.560 --> 00:06:42.839 Jeff Davis is a school that I know through the 118 00:06:42.839 --> 00:06:45.680 American football side of things got hit really hard the 119 00:06:45.759 --> 00:06:48.720 town of Hazelhurst. Will start there and work our way 120 00:06:48.800 --> 00:06:50.639 up the path and we'll catch up with friends at 121 00:06:50.680 --> 00:06:52.920 Georgian and we'll have those conversations either live on the 122 00:06:52.920 --> 00:06:56.600 air or as soccer's in session, catchups as we go. 123 00:06:56.800 --> 00:06:58.399 So there's all of that. 124 00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:03.360 So conversation with potros all of our weekly stuff, Mars 125 00:07:03.399 --> 00:07:07.000 Hill audio coming up, and all of the different things 126 00:07:07.079 --> 00:07:11.839 that are there. So that is what I think is 127 00:07:11.879 --> 00:07:15.560 what's going on this morning after having live trouble Shot live, 128 00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.600 Trouble Shot, Troubleshot live. Man, I'm speaking English very goodly 129 00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:20.079 this morning. 130 00:07:22.079 --> 00:07:23.800 So all of that. 131 00:07:24.160 --> 00:07:28.759 Oh No, Alex, POTROSEFC in the UPSL has Marietta High 132 00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:32.879 School as their home field this season, and I don't 133 00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.800 know if it's north Cut or if it's the actual campus. 134 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:41.360 So POTROFC in the UPSL, in the Premier Georgia Division, 135 00:07:42.480 --> 00:07:45.040 that's where their home is. After this week they have 136 00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.319 five of their next six they're at Marietta High School. 137 00:07:47.319 --> 00:07:48.480 Like I said, I don't know if that means north 138 00:07:48.519 --> 00:07:50.480 Cut or if that means the high school high school, 139 00:07:51.360 --> 00:07:53.160 the new high school a couple of years old, but 140 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:56.879 it's still the new high school anyway. So POTROSEFC, so yes, 141 00:07:56.959 --> 00:08:01.800 actual campus, Thank you Havy. So you've got that going on. 142 00:08:02.519 --> 00:08:07.279 So Rundown today is news. All the other things we'll 143 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:09.319 see if our friends from Beyond Goals Menering can join 144 00:08:09.399 --> 00:08:11.759 us ten o'clock weekend whip around getting you ready for 145 00:08:11.800 --> 00:08:15.639 the weekend. And I have a distinct impression. We're going 146 00:08:15.680 --> 00:08:18.680 past eleven oh five. But that's nothing really new, is it? 147 00:08:18.879 --> 00:08:23.959 So all right? So morning everybody? Now that now every 148 00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:29.040 started unbelievable. Yeah, Ricky got no sleep last night. I 149 00:08:29.079 --> 00:08:32.120 don't think any of us did, considering that Kirko chains 150 00:08:32.159 --> 00:08:36.399 through for five spins and four scores and last night 151 00:08:36.600 --> 00:08:41.039 it you know, in fantasy football, the American kind, I'm 152 00:08:41.159 --> 00:08:45.279 really I'm not very good at least in judging depth 153 00:08:46.159 --> 00:08:48.360 and rookies and things like that. A couple of years ago, 154 00:08:48.480 --> 00:08:52.399 I won our league and I've stunk ever since. And 155 00:08:52.840 --> 00:08:58.679 I had Darnell Mooney last night, but my opponent this 156 00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:02.240 week had Dre London. And so basically for me with 157 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:05.360 the substandard roster, I'm trying to make sure that I 158 00:09:05.399 --> 00:09:08.080 don't lose ground coming out of the blocks, and so 159 00:09:08.279 --> 00:09:10.519 Mooney versus London last night, for me, I didn't lose 160 00:09:10.519 --> 00:09:11.679 a whole lot of ground. I think I was like 161 00:09:11.720 --> 00:09:16.799 one point nine points behind or something like that.

Like I said, 169 00:09:41.000 --> 00:09:43.960 Christopher Runanga and Mark Pino, that conversation is going to 170 00:09:44.000 --> 00:09:48.480 be up later today on audio and video. Okay, uh yeah, 171 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:51.200 the Ricky We talked about this a little bit yesterday. 172 00:09:51.279 --> 00:09:51.519 I know. 173 00:09:51.600 --> 00:09:54.720 The breaking news is just stunning everybody that the Miami 174 00:09:54.759 --> 00:09:57.799 CLEB World Cup rubbing the wrong way totally expected as 175 00:09:57.840 --> 00:10:00.120 much in FIFA as a justifiable reason with the sh 176 00:10:00.080 --> 00:10:04.840 Yeah sure, but I mean we knew and we've been 177 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:09.360 talking about this for a long time that Team thirty two, 178 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:13.399 however you wanted to phrase it, if it wasn't going 179 00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:17.279 to be messy and friends and something something right, because 180 00:10:17.679 --> 00:10:19.759 you've got to draw eyeballs in when you don't have 181 00:10:19.799 --> 00:10:22.600 a TV partner yet, when you don't have international TV partners, 182 00:10:23.120 --> 00:10:28.840 when you have everything that is out in the ether 183 00:10:29.080 --> 00:10:32.600 when it comes to this competition, teams wondering what the 184 00:10:32.639 --> 00:10:35.519 payout is, where the payouts coming from, where your TV 185 00:10:35.639 --> 00:10:39.000 partners are, what the broadcast plans are, and there are 186 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:43.480 more questions and answers if you don't try and attract 187 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:48.559 the and I mean, I'm serious, you know, thinking about 188 00:10:48.559 --> 00:10:51.480 this like you know, you have to think about this 189 00:10:51.559 --> 00:10:52.919 like a like a television program. 190 00:10:52.919 --> 00:10:54.080 And we talked about this before. 191 00:10:55.759 --> 00:11:00.639 Legitimately, if there is a team that makes a like 192 00:11:00.919 --> 00:11:02.639 let's say there's a team that makes a run out 193 00:11:02.639 --> 00:11:05.559 of laye eight. I mean, Seattle's in because of what 194 00:11:05.600 --> 00:11:08.960 they've done in Conker caff in years past. Somebody makes 195 00:11:09.000 --> 00:11:13.120 a run out of lane eight, somebody, you know, let's 196 00:11:13.200 --> 00:11:16.679 let's see who who's north of the playoff bar out 197 00:11:16.759 --> 00:11:22.519 west So Colorado say so Colorado? Say say if Chris 198 00:11:22.639 --> 00:11:25.840 Armis and Colorado make a run and they were to 199 00:11:26.000 --> 00:11:31.519 win MLS Cup, Vancouver Vanny Sartini or whomever is not 200 00:11:31.600 --> 00:11:34.480 the can shamp so let's let's stick with Let's stick 201 00:11:34.559 --> 00:11:39.720 with let'st so maybe the Loons. How about that somebody 202 00:11:39.720 --> 00:11:44.200 who's a seven or eight or maybe a nine if 203 00:11:44.279 --> 00:11:47.559 they were to if that particular club was to get 204 00:11:47.600 --> 00:11:53.159 on an absolute heater of heaters win MLS Cup. If 205 00:11:53.200 --> 00:11:55.720 you are the club World Cup and you're looking for 206 00:11:55.759 --> 00:12:01.000 team thirty two, the wild card for the host, I 207 00:12:01.000 --> 00:12:05.080 mean seriously, who are you picking. It's a no brainer 208 00:12:06.080 --> 00:12:09.840 that you're picking Messian Friends over that other team as 209 00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:13.679 Team thirty two as your wild card. You absolutely are, 210 00:12:14.600 --> 00:12:18.399 You absolutely are, because it's a television show, and what 211 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:22.519 draws eyes to television shows, what gives you ratings, star 212 00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:26.440 power gives you ratings, and inasmuch as Georgie Mihailovich and 213 00:12:26.639 --> 00:12:30.559 with what Chris Armas is doing in this example, would 214 00:12:30.559 --> 00:12:35.000 be something that, you know, great for Colorado had they 215 00:12:35.039 --> 00:12:37.320 if they win MLS Cup and they you know, hey, 216 00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:38.960 you know we wont MLS Cup. We need to be 217 00:12:38.960 --> 00:12:44.279 Team thirty two Colorado Rapids Messian Friends. It's a no brainer, 218 00:12:45.480 --> 00:12:48.639 no brainer that you have something like that go down. 219 00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:52.360 No brainer. And so I get it, even with all 220 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:56.639 of the questions that are there currently in the in 221 00:12:57.039 --> 00:13:01.679 the in the hemisphere, when it to that particular I mean, yeah, 222 00:13:01.720 --> 00:13:05.480 I mean legitimate, oh ooh, we got we actually the 223 00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.840 first bot we've had in a long time, so extensive enterprise. 224 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:16.559 You are a bot, So we need to like eliminate 225 00:13:16.720 --> 00:13:19.799 them or report them, and they're offline. You know, that's 226 00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:25.240 just not very nice. You know, they they they want 227 00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:30.080 to sit there and you know, hey, we're a we're we're. 228 00:13:29.879 --> 00:13:34.360 Interesting, go ahead and report them. That was the other thing. 229 00:13:34.399 --> 00:13:36.279 I was like, I had to reset passwords to everything 230 00:13:36.320 --> 00:13:38.240 this morning because I can't remember what the passwords are 231 00:13:38.240 --> 00:13:39.320 and then you try to log in with an old 232 00:13:39.320 --> 00:13:41.200 password that it says, no, that's not your password, and 233 00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:42.919 I'm like, the hell it's not and they have to 234 00:13:42.960 --> 00:13:44.200 go back through and reset everything. 235 00:13:44.240 --> 00:13:44.919 So that was a pain. 236 00:13:45.480 --> 00:13:50.279 But anyway, I mean literally Georgia Mahalovich, Messi, Messi and friends, 237 00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:55.320 and there's Louis Suarez news also about Bielsa and interactions 238 00:13:55.360 --> 00:13:57.480 there that would probably will get into this morning. There's 239 00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:02.399 news out of the NWSL, and it's heavy and it's 240 00:14:02.399 --> 00:14:04.480 stuff that we got to get into, obviously with the 241 00:14:04.519 --> 00:14:08.720 NWSL involving Angel City one and involving Rory Daines. So 242 00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:13.840 there's headlines there that we've got to get into. And 243 00:14:16.320 --> 00:14:18.960 let's see. So there's that. Where are my notes? Oh, 244 00:14:18.960 --> 00:14:22.440 there's my notes? Okay, Like I said, this is where 245 00:14:22.440 --> 00:14:26.240 we are this morning. So the other thing I'll get 246 00:14:26.279 --> 00:14:32.159 into Luis Suarez. Now, since we're discussing Messi and Friends 247 00:14:32.159 --> 00:14:34.840 in the Gulf Stream Galacticos, I do want to talk 248 00:14:34.879 --> 00:14:38.240 about the firecracker heard round the hemisphere. Because we finally 249 00:14:38.279 --> 00:14:42.320 do have a solution. We have a name attached to it. 250 00:14:42.639 --> 00:14:46.320 Lizziebescherano at the four letter, very very early this morning, 251 00:14:47.039 --> 00:14:49.559 Luis Suarez exposed to what do you called problematic working 252 00:14:49.600 --> 00:14:52.399 conditions imposed by Marcelo Bielsa during the twenty twenty four 253 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:55.000 Copo America, before urging fans not to blame players. Quote 254 00:14:55.000 --> 00:14:58.879 if something goes wrong moving forward. Bielsa joined May fifteen, 255 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:01.679 twenty twenty three. Immediately the impacted the way national team functions, 256 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:04.919 according to Suarez, at the Celeste Complex quote, employees are 257 00:15:04.960 --> 00:15:06.240 not allowed to come in and greet us and eat 258 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:07.759 with us, he said on the direct TV show to 259 00:15:07.879 --> 00:15:12.519 Football Say Abla Assi quote. They have to be careful 260 00:15:12.559 --> 00:15:14.879 even at the door they have to enter. It breaks 261 00:15:14.919 --> 00:15:16.559 my heart that this is how life is in the 262 00:15:16.559 --> 00:15:19.240 complex today. Matias Vesina was first to see it coming. 263 00:15:19.519 --> 00:15:21.600 Nobody questions the fact that a guy like Messino, who 264 00:15:21.600 --> 00:15:23.639 is thirty years old, left from one day to the next. 265 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:27.159 SaaS wanted to provide insight into the impact Biels's leadership 266 00:15:27.200 --> 00:15:29.679 had during the Copa, detailing the lack of communication between 267 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:33.919 the coaching staff and players. Quote, there were situations at 268 00:15:33.919 --> 00:15:35.759 the COPA that hurt me, but I didn't say them 269 00:15:35.759 --> 00:15:38.480 for the sake of coexistence. Many players held a meeting 270 00:15:38.519 --> 00:15:40.679 to ask the coach to at least say good morning 271 00:15:40.720 --> 00:15:42.799 to us, but he didn't even say hello. And quote 272 00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:46.279 a decent run before finishing third, beating Canada and penalties. 273 00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:46.840 Quote. 274 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:50.639 Bielsa gives a conference and talks wonderful things about people, 275 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:51.879 and in New York there was a day when he 276 00:15:51.919 --> 00:15:53.559 asked us not to stop to greet people, and I 277 00:15:53.559 --> 00:15:54.919 stood up and told him that we were going to 278 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:59.000 greet people anyway, he said. Sares has since retired, playing 279 00:15:59.000 --> 00:16:01.720 his final match September six. Sare said I had a 280 00:16:01.720 --> 00:16:03.919 five minute chat with Beelsa, speaking as a group leader, 281 00:16:03.919 --> 00:16:06.000 and at the end he only replied, thank you very much. 282 00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:08.840 Focus now shifts to the twenty six World Cup loss 283 00:16:08.919 --> 00:16:11.159 unless they sit in third in the Combo Ball rankings. 284 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:15.559 Suarez signaled for caution. Quote tomorrow, I ask people not 285 00:16:15.639 --> 00:16:17.440 to take it out on the players if something goes wrong. 286 00:16:17.480 --> 00:16:19.600 Bielsa has separated the whole group, even in the way 287 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:23.080 they train. Utuguay returns to action October eleven. It's Perude 288 00:16:23.080 --> 00:16:27.200 next Round of World Cup qualifiers. So there's there's that, 289 00:16:28.320 --> 00:16:31.960 and so that came out this morning. Yeah, Alex literally 290 00:16:32.080 --> 00:16:34.639 man nicknames a loco. Not sure what else people expect. 291 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:38.440 That is true, circle gets the square. We also have 292 00:16:38.480 --> 00:16:40.639 news at Anissa this morning and that might also be 293 00:16:40.720 --> 00:16:45.240 kind of opening kickoffish the firecracker heard around the hemisphere, 294 00:16:45.240 --> 00:16:49.519 we finally have a name attached to it, Adriana Garcia. 295 00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:51.559 Very early this morning before we came on the air. 296 00:16:51.960 --> 00:16:55.720 Shievas midfielder Roberto Alvarado has apologized to journalists after throwing 297 00:16:55.759 --> 00:16:57.840 a firecracker that exploded in the media room had a 298 00:16:57.840 --> 00:17:01.120 Thursday's pre match news conference. Journalists waiting at the Lega 299 00:17:01.240 --> 00:17:04.720 MX's club's Verde Valler headquarters for the news conference to 300 00:17:04.759 --> 00:17:08.079 start ahead of Saturday's Classico Tapatio against Atlas were left 301 00:17:08.119 --> 00:17:11.119 stunned and then angry. The firecracker had been thrown from 302 00:17:11.119 --> 00:17:14.279 the nearby locker room. The club's press officer, along with 303 00:17:14.279 --> 00:17:17.359 the Chiebas defender Antonio Brissagno, apologized to the media president, 304 00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:20.880 yet the journalists insisted that the perpetrator come out to apologize. 305 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:23.640 Alvarado did come out and claim it was an accident. 306 00:17:24.079 --> 00:17:26.039 Claying that he had no intention of hurting anyone. No 307 00:17:26.039 --> 00:17:28.720 one was injured at the news conference. No one was injured, 308 00:17:28.759 --> 00:17:30.480 but the news conference did not take place since all 309 00:17:30.519 --> 00:17:32.839 the media boycotted it. So all right, so let me 310 00:17:32.880 --> 00:17:38.400 get this straight. So Roberto Lvarado Morning four card Roberto 311 00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:46.680 Lvarado decides that he thinks a throwing a firecracker into 312 00:17:46.720 --> 00:17:50.839 a press conference in a press room, that's that's a 313 00:17:50.880 --> 00:17:54.799 cool thing. But he says it had been been it 314 00:17:54.880 --> 00:17:59.039 was done by accident. Alvarado came out claimed it was 315 00:17:59.079 --> 00:18:04.000 an accident and had no intention of hurting anyone. When 316 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:09.960 you take a lighted firecracker, all right, so let's walk 317 00:18:10.000 --> 00:18:14.599 through this process, shall we. You have a lighted firecracker 318 00:18:16.759 --> 00:18:19.079 or you have a firecracker. Let's just let's walk through 319 00:18:19.079 --> 00:18:23.480 this for a second. So you have a firecracker in 320 00:18:23.519 --> 00:18:25.400 your hand, and you sit there and you think, you know, 321 00:18:26.599 --> 00:18:28.160 I think I should do something. 322 00:18:27.839 --> 00:18:30.599 With this firecracker. I don't know what. 323 00:18:32.039 --> 00:18:35.319 Hey, there's a room of assembled people next to where 324 00:18:35.319 --> 00:18:39.000 I am, and I have an access point. If I 325 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.599 were to open a door, it's like door opens. Oh, firecracker, 326 00:18:44.680 --> 00:18:48.599 you light the firecracker. There's only a certain amount of 327 00:18:48.640 --> 00:18:53.279 time where you really can make an informed decision in 328 00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:54.480 your own brain. 329 00:18:55.960 --> 00:18:59.160 Of what to do with said firecracker in that timeframe. 330 00:19:01.640 --> 00:19:06.160 So yeah, literally, as Widespread Panics said with their live 331 00:19:06.200 --> 00:19:15.720 album titled The Light Fuse Back Away. So Roberto Alvarado decides, 332 00:19:16.480 --> 00:19:24.480 apparently possibly probably okay, firecracker, unlighted door, other side of door, 333 00:19:24.519 --> 00:19:31.559 press room, lights firecracker. I have X number of seconds 334 00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:37.880 to decide what to do. Oh open door, jettison firecracker 335 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:44.400 into room with assembol journalists. So I mean, obviously the 336 00:19:44.519 --> 00:19:47.160 choice is one of two things. When the firecracker goes 337 00:19:47.200 --> 00:19:50.279 from unlighted to lighted and the fuse is going and 338 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:52.720 you're hearing the you only have a certain amount of 339 00:19:52.720 --> 00:19:54.119 seconds to sit there and figure out. 340 00:19:53.960 --> 00:19:54.319 What to do. 341 00:19:56.279 --> 00:19:58.720 You're not going to keep that firecracker, throw it up 342 00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:00.359 into the air and have it go on off in 343 00:20:00.400 --> 00:20:02.680 the player's locker room, I don't think. I mean, unless 344 00:20:02.680 --> 00:20:04.680 you just want to sit there and this will be funny, 345 00:20:05.559 --> 00:20:08.519 you throw it up in the air or something. But 346 00:20:08.720 --> 00:20:15.880 you make a conscious decision apparently to throw a lighted 347 00:20:15.920 --> 00:20:20.440 firecracker into an adjoining room where a door has to 348 00:20:20.480 --> 00:20:25.359 be opened, and you take the firecracker choice. 349 00:20:25.400 --> 00:20:28.119 I mean literally, the choice is one of two things. 350 00:20:30.559 --> 00:20:32.960 Well, I mean, but you know four card yeah, four 351 00:20:33.000 --> 00:20:34.680 card members in twenty twenty when I wanted to bring 352 00:20:34.720 --> 00:20:37.480 fireworks into the Benz. Actually the Benz has their own 353 00:20:37.480 --> 00:20:39.480 fireworks now that they launch from a pie and send 354 00:20:39.559 --> 00:20:46.640 down low. But I mean, if you think about this process, 355 00:20:47.240 --> 00:20:49.759 and I'm trying to just work through in my head 356 00:20:51.279 --> 00:20:56.200 what Roberto Alvarado is processing here, I'm trying to follow 357 00:20:56.279 --> 00:21:02.079 his logic. But if you light a firecracker and you 358 00:21:02.200 --> 00:21:04.480 have X number of seconds to figure out what to do, 359 00:21:05.599 --> 00:21:07.559 either keep it in your room or put it in 360 00:21:07.640 --> 00:21:09.359 another room and in the other room just happened to 361 00:21:09.359 --> 00:21:12.400 be assembled journalists getting ready for a press conference for 362 00:21:12.519 --> 00:21:17.519 a Darby. Oh, but you have to make a conscious 363 00:21:17.559 --> 00:21:21.640 decision literally to open a door throw the firecracker into 364 00:21:21.680 --> 00:21:24.200 the other room before it goes off, so it doesn't 365 00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:27.759 go off in your dressing room or assembled area. I 366 00:21:28.240 --> 00:21:32.440 do not know the layout of the Achievas training facility, 367 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:37.920 so Alvarado makes a conscious decision to go you know, 368 00:21:38.119 --> 00:21:40.039 I'm gonna do it this way. I'm gonna go ahead 369 00:21:40.039 --> 00:21:43.079 and either open the door myself or have someone open 370 00:21:43.119 --> 00:21:47.039 the door and I throw the firecracker into that room. 371 00:21:51.559 --> 00:21:54.680 Alvarado comes out claimed it was an accident, had no 372 00:21:54.720 --> 00:22:00.200 intention of hurting anyone. So it was an accident that 373 00:22:00.279 --> 00:22:07.480 you consciously or unconsciously. Let's just say it was an 374 00:22:07.559 --> 00:22:13.799 accident that a firecracker that was unlighted became lighted. Then 375 00:22:14.000 --> 00:22:18.559 to compound the accident to open an adjoining door to 376 00:22:18.759 --> 00:22:23.519 a press conference room that I imagine was fairly filled. And 377 00:22:23.599 --> 00:22:25.000 like I said, I don't know what the firecracker was. 378 00:22:25.039 --> 00:22:26.279 It might have been just one of those you know, 379 00:22:26.720 --> 00:22:29.319 you know pop deals. You sit there and you throw 380 00:22:29.319 --> 00:22:32.079 it in it goes h. I mean, I don't think 381 00:22:32.079 --> 00:22:33.680 it was like an M eighty or anything, but you know, 382 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:36.359 just like something that we get when it was illegal 383 00:22:36.400 --> 00:22:38.079 to get them across the border. You sit there and 384 00:22:38.119 --> 00:22:41.000 you get like by buy one, get four free. You know, 385 00:22:41.079 --> 00:22:43.720 you like the you know, you go, you go across 386 00:22:43.720 --> 00:22:46.960 the border, and the day's previous to us all being adults. 387 00:22:47.000 --> 00:22:49.039 You go to like Tennessee and you go across the border. 388 00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:52.319 You got Alabama across the border to like Lynette or Valley. 389 00:22:52.759 --> 00:22:55.079 You get all that group of fireworks and you're you're 390 00:22:55.079 --> 00:22:57.119 all happy, that you just smuggled it back into the 391 00:22:57.119 --> 00:22:59.359 State of Georgia for July fourth, and you like the thing, 392 00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:06.880 but taking a fire taking a firework fire cracker and 393 00:23:06.920 --> 00:23:09.160 sitting there and going Okay, Yeah, I'm gonna go ahead 394 00:23:09.160 --> 00:23:12.319 and open have someone open a door, and I'm gonna 395 00:23:12.359 --> 00:23:15.559 throw I have that firecracker thrown into the press conference room, 396 00:23:16.119 --> 00:23:17.720 and we'll ask our guests coming up here in a 397 00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:20.759 second if he's ever had to experience firecrackers being lobbed 398 00:23:20.759 --> 00:23:24.200 into a room. Oh, I see, I see the I 399 00:23:24.240 --> 00:23:28.640 see the inquisitive eyebrow rays from our mogul And training. 400 00:23:28.680 --> 00:23:30.160 So he'll be with us here in just a second. 401 00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.920 So I'm gonna go ahead and run our special intro. 402 00:23:34.759 --> 00:23:36.559 We're gonna find out about Rhode Island s CE, We're 403 00:23:36.559 --> 00:23:38.240 gonna find out about the mogul And training. We're gonna 404 00:23:38.240 --> 00:23:41.319 find out about fireworks being lobbed into other rooms because 405 00:23:41.359 --> 00:23:42.559 it's time for the Friday free kick. 406 00:23:42.599 --> 00:23:43.400 You know what that means. 407 00:23:43.920 --> 00:23:46.319 It's time for our buddy Michael Parker is to find 408 00:23:46.359 --> 00:23:49.200 out what's going on with our friends at Beyond Goals 409 00:23:49.200 --> 00:23:49.960 Minnering and maybe. 410 00:23:49.839 --> 00:23:52.119 Lighted firecrackers too. Here's the special intro. 411 00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:07.680 Hi Cap Morning John. 412 00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:09.759 So I was. 413 00:24:10.200 --> 00:24:13.680 Explaining in something of an opening kickoff kind of a sense, 414 00:24:13.920 --> 00:24:17.519 did you hear the story about the firecracker lobbed into 415 00:24:17.599 --> 00:24:19.839 the press conference room in Lega MX. 416 00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:21.119 I did not. 417 00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:30.559 So basically it is as a Chieva Squadalajara midfielder Roberto 418 00:24:30.559 --> 00:24:35.039 Alvarado has apologized to journalists, and I imagine that there 419 00:24:35.039 --> 00:24:36.680 are times when I'm sure that players would sit there 420 00:24:36.680 --> 00:24:38.119 and they'd love to do something like this. I mean 421 00:24:38.200 --> 00:24:40.119 a lot of a firecracker into a press conference room 422 00:24:40.119 --> 00:24:42.839 and see the journalist scatter. That's the most that's the 423 00:24:42.839 --> 00:24:47.079 most vert I've seen from that beat writer in years. 424 00:24:47.119 --> 00:24:51.160 So Alvarado apologized to journalists after throwing a firecracker that 425 00:24:51.319 --> 00:24:56.640 exploded in the media room ahead of Thursday's pre match 426 00:24:56.720 --> 00:24:59.759 news conference. So it's a darby presser, so I would 427 00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:02.480 image that there's maybe more than one or two journalists 428 00:25:02.599 --> 00:25:07.759 in said press conference room. Roberto Alvarado decides from the 429 00:25:08.000 --> 00:25:13.519 neighboring locker room to light a firecracker. Like I said, 430 00:25:13.559 --> 00:25:16.240 all this stuff is apparently like logic that's rolling through 431 00:25:16.279 --> 00:25:20.279 dude's head. So he goes from having an unlighted firecracker 432 00:25:20.279 --> 00:25:24.240 in his possession to a lighted firecracker in his possession, 433 00:25:24.400 --> 00:25:26.480 and like I said, I'm trying to walk through this process, 434 00:25:26.960 --> 00:25:31.240 and so Alvarado apparently thought that, oh, lighted firecracker. 435 00:25:31.279 --> 00:25:32.319 I have two choices. 436 00:25:32.640 --> 00:25:35.200 I can keep it here in the locker room, or 437 00:25:35.319 --> 00:25:38.799 I can have someone open a door, which just happens 438 00:25:38.799 --> 00:25:42.599 to be the to the adjoining press conference area, take 439 00:25:42.720 --> 00:25:48.160 said lighted firecracker, throw the firecracker into the press conference room, 440 00:25:49.319 --> 00:25:54.880 and have the firecracker go off with you know, journalists there. 441 00:25:55.680 --> 00:25:59.359 The press officer and one of the defenders apologize to 442 00:25:59.400 --> 00:26:02.680 the media, but the media was like, nah, fam, that's 443 00:26:02.720 --> 00:26:03.240 not going to work. 444 00:26:03.279 --> 00:26:04.279 We need the dude that did it. 445 00:26:05.359 --> 00:26:09.000 And so uh the So Alvarado goes in, he comes 446 00:26:09.039 --> 00:26:11.960 out of the out of the dressing room, and he 447 00:26:12.079 --> 00:26:14.400 claims it was an accident and that he had no 448 00:26:14.519 --> 00:26:20.200 intention of hurting anyone. As I sit here and wander 449 00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:24.400 through conscious decisions of it was an accident. So you 450 00:26:24.480 --> 00:26:31.400 go from unlighted firecracker, too lighted firecracker, and lighted firecracker. Oh, 451 00:26:31.480 --> 00:26:35.480 I've got to do something with this door. Open firecracker 452 00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:38.000 through door, closed door, firecracker, go boom. 453 00:26:38.480 --> 00:26:44.400 It was an accident beat two, three four. The media 454 00:26:44.440 --> 00:26:45.200 were so pissed. 455 00:26:45.640 --> 00:26:48.119 No one was injured, but the presser didn't take place 456 00:26:48.160 --> 00:26:50.559 because all the media were like, no, we're boycotting this thing. 457 00:26:50.599 --> 00:26:51.400 We're out. 458 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:55.799 Have you ever, sir in this in this go round 459 00:26:55.880 --> 00:26:59.279 of Have I ever have I? Have you ever been 460 00:26:59.319 --> 00:27:01.759 with a team either named or unnamed? I don't know 461 00:27:01.839 --> 00:27:05.240 statute limitations can apply here. Have you ever had a 462 00:27:05.279 --> 00:27:09.440 teammate that had that kind of a mischievous trouble streak 463 00:27:09.480 --> 00:27:11.720 attached to them where they thought that something would be 464 00:27:11.759 --> 00:27:13.960 funny something like that? Have you ever been with a 465 00:27:14.000 --> 00:27:17.279 teammate that had that kind of mischievous trouble streak attached 466 00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:21.720 to them? Like I said, you can name names if 467 00:27:21.759 --> 00:27:23.680 you want. You don't name names if you don't want to, 468 00:27:23.759 --> 00:27:25.440 but you can either just say yes or no and 469 00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:26.559 maybe give an incident. 470 00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:27.480 I don't know. 471 00:27:27.799 --> 00:27:30.720 I mean, I played with some crazy teammates. 472 00:27:31.079 --> 00:27:32.519 How crazy were They. 473 00:27:36.640 --> 00:27:42.119 Never did anything to the media or anything, but like I, 474 00:27:42.119 --> 00:27:48.359 I had a goalie teammate once Eastern European guy, and 475 00:27:48.720 --> 00:27:51.480 he showed up at one of our teammate's house. They 476 00:27:51.480 --> 00:27:53.119 got into it on the field and he showed up 477 00:27:53.160 --> 00:27:54.960 to his house later on the later on in the 478 00:27:55.039 --> 00:27:56.119 day with a baseball bat. 479 00:27:56.200 --> 00:27:56.759 Right, who. 480 00:27:59.720 --> 00:28:03.680 Tell them basically like he kill his whole family if 481 00:28:03.680 --> 00:28:05.640 he ever did anything like that on the field again, 482 00:28:05.920 --> 00:28:12.799 And wow, yeah, nut job. But I've never seen a 483 00:28:12.839 --> 00:28:14.599 firecracker even in a locker room before. 484 00:28:15.400 --> 00:28:17.440 I don't even understand how is it? Why is there 485 00:28:17.480 --> 00:28:22.119 even a locker room or a firecracker in the locker room? Craziness? 486 00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:23.200 But I don't know. 487 00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:27.279 I just it's like, you, dude, made conscious decision A, 488 00:28:27.720 --> 00:28:29.920 and you carry it back one further You carry back 489 00:28:29.960 --> 00:28:31.240 one further step than I did. 490 00:28:32.000 --> 00:28:34.200 Literally, firecracker. 491 00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:36.880 I think carrying a firecracker into a locker room was 492 00:28:36.920 --> 00:28:41.759 a great IDEA firecracker unlighted in locker room. Oh, let's 493 00:28:41.799 --> 00:28:43.880 light it, you know. Oh what do we do with 494 00:28:43.960 --> 00:28:48.119 lighted firecracker? Oh there's a door. Oh by the way, 495 00:28:48.240 --> 00:28:50.920 there are mediate people on the other side of that door. 496 00:28:51.799 --> 00:28:54.880 So I just had I just had to I just 497 00:28:54.920 --> 00:28:55.440 had to ask. 498 00:28:55.480 --> 00:28:58.160 But yeah, Alex is like, that's less mischievous and more 499 00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:01.319 felonious when a bat is involved instead of a firecracker. 500 00:29:01.319 --> 00:29:04.799 I would agree that those more that it is more 501 00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:07.960 felonious when it's when a baseball bat is involved or 502 00:29:08.079 --> 00:29:15.519 just a Speaking of Bielsa, we talked about Luis Suarez 503 00:29:15.559 --> 00:29:18.039 and him saying that the environment with l Loco as 504 00:29:18.039 --> 00:29:20.920 they were getting ready for the Copa was less than 505 00:29:21.039 --> 00:29:25.240 cordial when it comes to this will be my opening 506 00:29:25.240 --> 00:29:29.240 point this this week, not that you would have had 507 00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:33.079 an L Loco as a coach, but when you talk 508 00:29:33.160 --> 00:29:35.599 to your mentees and when you talk to teammates X 509 00:29:35.640 --> 00:29:40.240 teammates and everything, when it comes to navigating coaches and 510 00:29:40.680 --> 00:29:46.039 those in positions of authority that have different personalities, how 511 00:29:47.240 --> 00:29:49.599 do you talk to your mentees about, well, yes, this 512 00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:51.720 one's a player's coach, Yes, this one's a hard a 513 00:29:51.960 --> 00:29:54.000 you know that that kind of thing. Do you talk 514 00:29:54.039 --> 00:29:57.160 to them about navigating all the different personalities and just 515 00:29:57.279 --> 00:30:00.240 understanding that, yes, some folks operate differently than others when 516 00:30:00.240 --> 00:30:02.960 it comes to trying to get messages across for sure. 517 00:30:03.000 --> 00:30:04.720 We just had a blog about it because it's something 518 00:30:04.759 --> 00:30:07.640 that's come up repeatedly, so we're like, all right, we 519 00:30:07.640 --> 00:30:14.200 need to write something about this because it's mostly what 520 00:30:14.240 --> 00:30:18.559 we're dealing with is how do you deal with a 521 00:30:18.640 --> 00:30:24.240 hard ass coach who his coaching style is to get 522 00:30:24.279 --> 00:30:28.319 after you and try and push you that way, but 523 00:30:28.400 --> 00:30:31.799 they also tend to be yellers on the field and 524 00:30:32.680 --> 00:30:35.160 yell at you when you make a mistake, And. 525 00:30:36.759 --> 00:30:41.839 Just how do you be confident, play freely. 526 00:30:43.079 --> 00:30:44.880 And get something out of it when you're playing for 527 00:30:44.920 --> 00:30:48.279 a coach like that, especially when you as an individual 528 00:30:48.720 --> 00:30:53.319 don't really respond well to that type of coaching because 529 00:30:53.319 --> 00:30:57.079 as we know, there's different ways to motivate people, and 530 00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:00.319 some are motivated by that tactic and others or not, 531 00:31:01.400 --> 00:31:05.480 and it should be a little bit more curated to 532 00:31:05.519 --> 00:31:09.319 the individual based on some things. But we know that 533 00:31:09.319 --> 00:31:12.480 that's not happening all the time with coaching. So yeah, 534 00:31:12.559 --> 00:31:16.480 it's challenging, and you know, we try and tell them that, 535 00:31:17.400 --> 00:31:20.000 you know, whether you've got a coach that you agree 536 00:31:20.039 --> 00:31:23.079 with how he does things or not, you're hoping that and. 537 00:31:24.799 --> 00:31:27.640 Unstill proved otherwise. You assume they have. 538 00:31:27.839 --> 00:31:29.960 Your best interests at heart and they're trying to get 539 00:31:29.960 --> 00:31:32.039 the best out of you and the best for the team, 540 00:31:32.599 --> 00:31:37.960 and they don't mean to do anything to make you 541 00:31:38.039 --> 00:31:41.480 play poorly. It's just their way of coaching. So how 542 00:31:41.480 --> 00:31:44.640 do you get the message and separate that from the 543 00:31:44.720 --> 00:31:51.319 tone and use the information to the best of your ability, 544 00:31:51.400 --> 00:31:53.359 and sometimes you're not even going to agree with the information, 545 00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:58.160 But how do you balance that with what you've learned 546 00:31:58.200 --> 00:32:00.960 in the past, But also you want to do what 547 00:32:01.000 --> 00:32:02.279 you have to do to stay on the field. 548 00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:05.079 So yeah, there is a tough balance for sure. I 549 00:32:05.079 --> 00:32:06.319 mean we had it with Tata. 550 00:32:07.319 --> 00:32:11.839 When we started with Tata, especially for the English speaking group, 551 00:32:12.240 --> 00:32:15.400 it was so different than anything they had ever experienced, 552 00:32:15.960 --> 00:32:19.759 and on and off the field, and there were times 553 00:32:19.839 --> 00:32:23.319 right the way that we were playing, you know, Jeff myself, 554 00:32:24.160 --> 00:32:26.319 you know Alec in the back before Brad got there, 555 00:32:26.359 --> 00:32:29.839 We're looking at each other like, man, this is crazy, 556 00:32:29.960 --> 00:32:33.599 Like we can't play like this. We're so exposed in 557 00:32:33.640 --> 00:32:36.880 the back, Like we have to do a little differently, right, 558 00:32:36.920 --> 00:32:42.880 And so you do small little things to balance how 559 00:32:42.880 --> 00:32:44.680 the coach wants to play and how you see it 560 00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:46.720 out there on the field. And obviously we were in 561 00:32:46.720 --> 00:32:50.920 a different position because we're out there performing and we're 562 00:32:50.920 --> 00:32:53.440 a little bit more veteran than some of. 563 00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:54.119 The other players. 564 00:32:54.119 --> 00:32:59.000 So it's challenging though, because yeah, there's a whole just 565 00:32:59.039 --> 00:33:02.839 like individual players, there's a whole host of different coaches 566 00:33:03.920 --> 00:33:07.599 on different levels, and the way that they institute what 567 00:33:07.680 --> 00:33:09.759 they want is so so different. 568 00:33:11.599 --> 00:33:15.279 How do you in a situation like that, how do 569 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:18.680 you and Jeff and Alec and uh, you know, and 570 00:33:18.720 --> 00:33:21.400 everybody that's a veteran who's been through this kind of 571 00:33:21.440 --> 00:33:24.960 a ringer before, how do you? How do you listen? 572 00:33:27.000 --> 00:33:32.759 Then how do you implement the what might be you know, 573 00:33:33.319 --> 00:33:37.720 crazy just in general from your own observations, and then 574 00:33:37.960 --> 00:33:40.039 not let it get to you and kind of tweak 575 00:33:40.119 --> 00:33:43.680 it where it's like you're trying to juggle about nineteen 576 00:33:43.720 --> 00:33:44.440 different things. 577 00:33:44.440 --> 00:33:45.640 It's like you're you're. 578 00:33:45.519 --> 00:33:48.559 Paying attention to what he's saying, you get it, but 579 00:33:48.759 --> 00:33:51.079 then you put your own little twist on it and 580 00:33:51.119 --> 00:33:53.920 not make it look like you're being disrespectful, I guess 581 00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:56.119 is what I'm saying. It's like you you understand where 582 00:33:56.160 --> 00:33:57.880 he's going, but it's like, hey, if we do this, 583 00:33:58.000 --> 00:34:00.839 then it's just as impactful and not as crazy. 584 00:34:00.880 --> 00:34:01.759 Does that make any sense? 585 00:34:02.000 --> 00:34:02.240 Yeah? 586 00:34:02.279 --> 00:34:03.160 A little bit for sure. 587 00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:05.880 And for us it was just what can we control 588 00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:08.760 a little bit? And so for us we were just 589 00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:13.320 like focused on especially counter attacks and defensive side of things, 590 00:34:13.679 --> 00:34:15.960 and so we were like, all right, well, attack wise, 591 00:34:15.960 --> 00:34:17.440 We're going to do what we do and it's fine, 592 00:34:17.760 --> 00:34:19.400 but okay, how can we be a. 593 00:34:19.440 --> 00:34:23.719 Little bit more stable defensively? 594 00:34:24.960 --> 00:34:27.960 Then maybe we're being set up for or how we 595 00:34:28.000 --> 00:34:30.599 see things, and and it's just. 596 00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:34.000 To get results, right. You want to win. 597 00:34:34.000 --> 00:34:37.760 And you want to play well and do well, and 598 00:34:37.800 --> 00:34:40.079 so it's our butts on the line out there. If 599 00:34:40.079 --> 00:34:42.199 we're giving up four goals, so we're gonna have We're 600 00:34:42.239 --> 00:34:43.400 going to do what we have to do to make 601 00:34:43.440 --> 00:34:44.519 sure that that's not happening. 602 00:34:45.920 --> 00:34:48.760 So yeah, just. 603 00:34:48.760 --> 00:34:53.719 Controlling little things about hey, telling Leandro not to go 604 00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:56.639 up for crosses when the right backs crossing the ball 605 00:34:56.679 --> 00:34:59.639 and he's playing left center back and you know, maybe 606 00:34:59.679 --> 00:35:03.440 having wing back on the other side hang out every 607 00:35:03.480 --> 00:35:05.519 now and then. They're just adjusting a little bit based 608 00:35:05.559 --> 00:35:11.199 off the opponent. But if the coach's tactics start working 609 00:35:11.440 --> 00:35:13.480 like they did with Tata, then you get more buy in, 610 00:35:13.559 --> 00:35:16.039 then you get more belief, then you get okay, I 611 00:35:16.079 --> 00:35:17.760 can see how this can work. And it takes a 612 00:35:17.800 --> 00:35:20.320 little bit of time, right, But if it's a huge 613 00:35:20.440 --> 00:35:23.599 change at the beginning, it's difficult for players that have 614 00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:25.679 played one way for a long time. 615 00:35:25.519 --> 00:35:28.679 To say, oh yeah, let's just go do this, It'll be. 616 00:35:28.639 --> 00:35:33.599 Fine, versus like, oh, shoot, let's see if it's going 617 00:35:33.679 --> 00:35:34.079 to be fine. 618 00:35:34.159 --> 00:35:35.559 I was going to say, I don't think shoot was 619 00:35:35.599 --> 00:35:36.840 the word that you were using. 620 00:35:36.920 --> 00:35:43.400 But nevertheless, it's just I wonder about that adjustment period 621 00:35:43.480 --> 00:35:47.480 in trying to find the happy middle ground. It's like, 622 00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:49.760 we've been around the block. We know what you're saying, 623 00:35:49.920 --> 00:35:52.039 but we can also do this, do this, and do this. 624 00:35:52.639 --> 00:35:55.360 And because if you're a younger player and you're in 625 00:35:55.360 --> 00:35:57.400 a situation like that, you don't want to upset the 626 00:35:57.400 --> 00:35:58.960 apple cart. You want to say it's like yes or 627 00:35:59.039 --> 00:36:01.239 yes or yes sir, you know right at it, Reno, 628 00:36:01.320 --> 00:36:01.840 we're gonna do it. 629 00:36:01.880 --> 00:36:02.480 We're going to do it. 630 00:36:02.519 --> 00:36:06.079 And then's you're in lockstep and everything because you know 631 00:36:06.079 --> 00:36:07.840 it could affect your playing time. I mean, it's a 632 00:36:07.920 --> 00:36:10.480 it's a balance from the younger players that want to 633 00:36:10.519 --> 00:36:13.559 listen and learn and implement and the veterans that listen 634 00:36:13.639 --> 00:36:17.199 and learn and implement, but implement with a twist. So 635 00:36:17.760 --> 00:36:20.159 the message is still getting out there and the result 636 00:36:20.199 --> 00:36:21.679 is still the same. It just it might be a 637 00:36:21.719 --> 00:36:24.119 little different just because of the exposure and the experience 638 00:36:24.159 --> 00:36:26.679 that you guys had out there in the first place totally. 639 00:36:27.079 --> 00:36:30.280 And I think that as you as you become more 640 00:36:30.280 --> 00:36:33.840 of a veteran, and even even for youth players, as 641 00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:35.719 you play with a coach for more often or you 642 00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:38.559 get a little bit more experience. Right, there's a way 643 00:36:38.559 --> 00:36:41.199 that your coach wants you to play before the game starts, 644 00:36:42.360 --> 00:36:47.199 but then when the game starts until halftime, there's very 645 00:36:47.239 --> 00:36:50.559 little coaching that can change things on the field, right, 646 00:36:50.599 --> 00:36:54.840 And so players have to take the initiative to change things. 647 00:36:54.880 --> 00:36:58.280 If you're getting punched in the face, especially repeatedly, Right, 648 00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:00.960 you can't just assume, Okay, let's just keep doing it 649 00:37:01.000 --> 00:37:02.639 and it'll eventually work out. 650 00:37:04.400 --> 00:37:06.320 No, it won't. You need to adjust. 651 00:37:06.400 --> 00:37:09.800 And like for example, with Greg Burholtzer in Columbus or 652 00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:11.800 he wanted us to play out of the back all 653 00:37:11.880 --> 00:37:15.400 the time, every time. But there are certain situations where 654 00:37:15.400 --> 00:37:17.960 it was like, Okay, hey, guys, we're going to step 655 00:37:18.039 --> 00:37:19.880 up to midfield and have the goaliekicked it as far 656 00:37:19.920 --> 00:37:21.280 as he can, and we're going to kick the ball 657 00:37:21.280 --> 00:37:22.880 into the other half and we're going to go play 658 00:37:22.880 --> 00:37:25.320 over there for a few minutes and chill out, and 659 00:37:25.360 --> 00:37:27.360 then we'll get maybe and then maybe we'll get back 660 00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:28.280 to what we're doing here. 661 00:37:28.320 --> 00:37:30.039 But we need to we need to reset. 662 00:37:30.480 --> 00:37:32.800 And you know, same thing under Tata, like, yeah, I 663 00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:34.039 know that we want to play out of the back, 664 00:37:34.079 --> 00:37:35.360 but you know what, I'm going to kick this ball 665 00:37:35.440 --> 00:37:38.719 long for a little bit because I'm sick of us 666 00:37:38.800 --> 00:37:40.039 playing in our half of the field. 667 00:37:40.079 --> 00:37:42.880 And like little things like that where it's like, you. 668 00:37:42.800 --> 00:37:46.599 Know, you're not disregarding completely the game plan, but you're 669 00:37:46.639 --> 00:37:48.760 adapting because you see things on the field and you 670 00:37:49.519 --> 00:37:50.800 you are in it. 671 00:37:53.000 --> 00:37:54.920 I need to breather, I need to blow. I'm going 672 00:37:55.000 --> 00:37:58.119 to kick this long for a minute. It's just I'm 673 00:37:58.119 --> 00:37:59.679 going to go that way and I'm going to catch 674 00:37:59.719 --> 00:38:00.679 my breath for a second. 675 00:38:01.280 --> 00:38:01.480 Uh. 676 00:38:01.559 --> 00:38:05.400 General generationally, and this is something that you've been kind 677 00:38:05.400 --> 00:38:07.639 of alluding to here in our conversation this morning. 678 00:38:08.639 --> 00:38:11.039 Are are the younger players today? 679 00:38:11.360 --> 00:38:15.360 Is there bs meter lower than it was when you know, 680 00:38:15.440 --> 00:38:17.559 we were you know, learning the game. Do they sit 681 00:38:17.599 --> 00:38:21.760 there and you know, if somebody's yelling at me these days, 682 00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:24.920 I'm gonna be like, yeah, okay, whatever, great. You know 683 00:38:25.679 --> 00:38:28.840 you can yell at me all day long. I either 684 00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:30.840 feel like I know what's going on. I know what 685 00:38:30.880 --> 00:38:32.840 you're saying. You don't have to yell at me these 686 00:38:32.960 --> 00:38:36.840 kinds of things. How how different is the intake with 687 00:38:37.119 --> 00:38:39.559 your mentees than it would be with say, folks that 688 00:38:39.719 --> 00:38:42.719 are your age or slightly younger than you. Is is 689 00:38:42.760 --> 00:38:46.119 the intake different? Is the BS meter less? Do they 690 00:38:46.360 --> 00:38:48.840 is a BS meter higher or lower? What about mentees 691 00:38:48.880 --> 00:38:49.760 these days? 692 00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:51.639 Yes, that's a good question. 693 00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:54.239 You know, it's and like everything, it depends on the 694 00:38:54.239 --> 00:38:57.239 personality of the player, but it's you know, I think 695 00:38:57.239 --> 00:39:03.840 in general, younger players still listen to their coaches. The 696 00:39:03.880 --> 00:39:07.400 coaches have a huge influence, and you know, hopefully that's 697 00:39:07.400 --> 00:39:12.079 a good thing. There are definitely some individuals who, regardless 698 00:39:12.079 --> 00:39:13.199 of the coach, are going to go out there and 699 00:39:13.199 --> 00:39:17.480 do their own thing. But you know, I think that 700 00:39:18.760 --> 00:39:21.239 for the most part, they are listening to their coach 701 00:39:21.280 --> 00:39:25.559 and trying to implement what they from the sideline are saying. 702 00:39:25.639 --> 00:39:27.960 And that's why it can be challenging, right, especially if 703 00:39:27.960 --> 00:39:31.320 that coach is a yeller and yelling at you about mistakes, 704 00:39:32.079 --> 00:39:33.840 because then you get out there and you're afraid to 705 00:39:33.880 --> 00:39:35.119 make mistakes because you don't want to. 706 00:39:35.079 --> 00:39:35.719 Get yelled at. 707 00:39:36.000 --> 00:39:38.119 And so that's a tough way to play. 708 00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:42.119 And you'd think that coaches would see that and understand that, 709 00:39:42.280 --> 00:39:45.199 but for some reason they all don't. 710 00:39:45.360 --> 00:39:48.440 Well, I mean, I would think that that the ego 711 00:39:48.559 --> 00:39:51.119 of that coach plays into this too. It's like, well, 712 00:39:51.159 --> 00:39:53.719 I have this dossier of success in my brain and 713 00:39:53.760 --> 00:39:57.119 I've won you know, I've won this trophy. You know, 714 00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:00.599 I've won this miscongeniality trophy for finishing third in division, 715 00:40:00.639 --> 00:40:02.960 you know, you know, eighteen years ago, and so obviously 716 00:40:03.000 --> 00:40:05.800 what I do works. And I would think that ego 717 00:40:05.840 --> 00:40:08.159 plays into it, from the ego of the superior of 718 00:40:08.199 --> 00:40:12.960 the of the individual in Power's about to say superior 719 00:40:13.039 --> 00:40:15.960 sometimes they're not. But the coach on the sideline, the 720 00:40:15.960 --> 00:40:19.599 administrator on the sideline, because they have this history of success, 721 00:40:19.639 --> 00:40:23.199 it's like, well, yes, obviously it works. And then you'll 722 00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:24.840 have folks these days who might sit there and go, 723 00:40:24.920 --> 00:40:28.559 really that works. No, you know, It's just there are 724 00:40:28.599 --> 00:40:31.280 times I would think that adults, and we've had this 725 00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:35.039 talk too, where adults some kind sometimes just kind of 726 00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:37.119 need to dial it back and listen more instead of 727 00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:40.760 sitting there and just yelling and ranning and raving and 728 00:40:40.800 --> 00:40:43.719 poking fingers and going this is the way and let 729 00:40:43.800 --> 00:40:45.760 it be a two way street with you know, some 730 00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:48.880 just at least listening, even if the feedback isn't taken in. 731 00:40:48.920 --> 00:40:51.199 At least just take the effort to listen to what's 732 00:40:51.199 --> 00:40:53.840 coming back at you instead of just saying my way 733 00:40:53.920 --> 00:40:55.880 or the highway, because that doesn't work all the time. 734 00:40:56.760 --> 00:41:00.760 Rarely, rarely does it work. Oh for sure. 735 00:41:00.880 --> 00:41:03.559 I mean, fine, it's my way or you're not playing. 736 00:41:03.599 --> 00:41:05.920 But we get that. I mean, you get managers who 737 00:41:05.920 --> 00:41:08.239 are this way in different sports. It's like, you're going 738 00:41:08.320 --> 00:41:10.639 to do it my way or you ain't playing, and 739 00:41:10.679 --> 00:41:15.599 then you know, then you sit and it's just it. 740 00:41:15.639 --> 00:41:18.920 I would think that it would drive folks crazy. Where 741 00:41:19.360 --> 00:41:22.920 you see a better, a better pathway in that position, 742 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:25.840 an individual in a position of power doesn't, and it 743 00:41:25.880 --> 00:41:29.199 affects everything and down it affects everything downstream, and it 744 00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:31.159 just it doesn't do anything that's better. 745 00:41:31.320 --> 00:41:32.960 And again, I don't think that most of these coaches 746 00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:35.360 are coming from a place of trying to be the 747 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:40.039 little kids or be mean or anything, right, they're just usually. 748 00:41:40.039 --> 00:41:42.199 What I see is they're so competitive. 749 00:41:42.320 --> 00:41:48.519 And they've got the juices flowing and they can't help themselves, 750 00:41:49.840 --> 00:41:53.800 so they need to They need to figure out how 751 00:41:53.800 --> 00:42:00.519 they can channel their aggression and hype of the game 752 00:42:00.719 --> 00:42:05.280 into a better way. But yeah, no, I mean anytime, 753 00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:08.599 the best the best leaders are good listeners for sure, 754 00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:14.079 and it goes into parenting and leadership and coaching and everything, right, 755 00:42:14.159 --> 00:42:16.920 And it's one thing to listen and then you know, 756 00:42:17.239 --> 00:42:19.440 do what the kid wants. But it's another thing, you know, 757 00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:21.800 to just get their respect a little bit. Yeah, I 758 00:42:21.840 --> 00:42:24.480 hear you. I understand what you're saying. But here's why 759 00:42:24.519 --> 00:42:26.639 I think differently. Here's why I see it differently, you know. 760 00:42:26.679 --> 00:42:30.320 And I think if coaches explain that stuff sometimes it 761 00:42:30.360 --> 00:42:32.239 goes a little bit longer of the way. Okay, I 762 00:42:32.360 --> 00:42:36.519 understand now why we're doing something, rather than this is 763 00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:37.239 just what we're doing. 764 00:42:38.119 --> 00:42:40.880 Hey, Dad, I think I should take the car out 765 00:42:40.880 --> 00:42:45.719 this weekend. Yeah, and yes, I hear you. I understand 766 00:42:45.760 --> 00:42:49.079 your point of view. The answer is still no. Exactly 767 00:42:50.679 --> 00:42:53.079 about another ten minutes or so with Michael parkerst Our 768 00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:54.960 mogul and training at m F Parkhurst on the two 769 00:42:55.079 --> 00:42:57.199 hundred and eighty character app and beyond goals entering where 770 00:42:57.480 --> 00:43:00.920 we go completely and totally sideways, because there'll be an 771 00:43:01.000 --> 00:43:03.639 entry point every single time that you and Greg come 772 00:43:03.639 --> 00:43:06.519 out with the Friday free kick and then it goes 773 00:43:06.960 --> 00:43:09.679 literally is like bumper cars every single time that you're on, 774 00:43:09.960 --> 00:43:13.559 And I will tell you each and every time that 775 00:43:13.639 --> 00:43:16.039 you come on for putting up with all of these 776 00:43:16.119 --> 00:43:18.679 right turns and all of this chaos that comes through 777 00:43:18.679 --> 00:43:20.639 my brain and comes out the other side. I cannot 778 00:43:20.639 --> 00:43:23.639 thank you and Greg enough for doing this kind of stuff. 779 00:43:24.000 --> 00:43:24.800 Rhode Island FC. 780 00:43:25.000 --> 00:43:30.239 Question from Bart Keeler, what are the chances of Rhode 781 00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:33.880 Island FC bidding to host a national team match after 782 00:43:33.920 --> 00:43:38.400 tidewater landing is complete? Our IFC is mentioned in the 783 00:43:38.440 --> 00:43:41.960 next episode of the Soccer for US podcast. 784 00:43:42.920 --> 00:43:47.000 Nice Unfortunately very low. 785 00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:50.800 What well, the men don't play on turf, and I 786 00:43:50.840 --> 00:43:53.360 don't think the women play on turf. 787 00:43:53.400 --> 00:43:55.760 I don't know that for sure, but I would highly 788 00:43:55.840 --> 00:43:56.480 doubt they do. 789 00:43:57.400 --> 00:44:01.800 And I don't think that our stadiums eyes it's a 790 00:44:01.880 --> 00:44:06.159 ten thousand, five hundred seat stadium. I don't know if 791 00:44:06.159 --> 00:44:08.760 the cost to bring in the grass over the turf 792 00:44:08.800 --> 00:44:10.559 and bring a team in and that type of stuff 793 00:44:10.559 --> 00:44:14.000 it would make sense for US. Uh So, unfortunately, probably 794 00:44:14.000 --> 00:44:18.119 pretty low, but we are definitely looking at other opportunities. 795 00:44:18.159 --> 00:44:20.000 We're going to fill that stadium as much as we 796 00:44:20.079 --> 00:44:25.800 can with different events and sports and opportunities and teams. 797 00:44:26.000 --> 00:44:28.559 So there'll be a lot going on other than Rhode 798 00:44:28.559 --> 00:44:33.960 Island NFC. Right ISLANDFC obviously is number one, but there 799 00:44:33.960 --> 00:44:36.960 will be a lot. I don't think that the national team, though, 800 00:44:37.199 --> 00:44:39.920 would would take us. 801 00:44:41.280 --> 00:44:43.719 Well, well, Bart's like, yeah, by a score. 802 00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:44.519 Of appreciated art. 803 00:44:44.760 --> 00:44:47.320 Well, then then don't let me ask you this. 804 00:44:47.480 --> 00:44:49.760 And this might be crossing the streams and drawing the 805 00:44:49.800 --> 00:44:52.159 ire of some nationalists folks, but do you have Jesse 806 00:44:52.280 --> 00:44:53.480 Marsh's phone number. 807 00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:55.480 In your in your rolodex? 808 00:44:55.960 --> 00:45:00.719 I use too, because you know, going from say Toronto 809 00:45:01.840 --> 00:45:08.119 and the sponsored stewardship that the tenured professorship that the 810 00:45:08.280 --> 00:45:12.000 Jesse Marsh has now with that that national team to 811 00:45:12.039 --> 00:45:14.480 the north of US, it's not it's not I mean 812 00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:18.880 shoot in in COVID. Toronto FC played in Hartford at 813 00:45:18.880 --> 00:45:22.519 Pratt and Whitney, so you know, playing playing in Connecticut 814 00:45:22.599 --> 00:45:25.679 is not something completely and totally foreign to Toronto FC. 815 00:45:25.880 --> 00:45:27.360 So maybe if you talk to the folks at the 816 00:45:27.360 --> 00:45:30.880 Maple Leaf, you know, hey, hey, Jesse, you want to 817 00:45:31.000 --> 00:45:35.480 have a friendly against Azerbaijan at Tidewater Landing, you. 818 00:45:35.400 --> 00:45:40.239 Know, something like that, saying yeah, sure. 819 00:45:40.320 --> 00:45:42.679 And we all did get our recent email to purchase 820 00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:45.920 season tickets for for Tidewater Landing. By the way, that 821 00:45:45.920 --> 00:45:47.960 that has made its way down here to the south. 822 00:45:49.559 --> 00:45:52.119 What's the what's since we're here, what's the latest on 823 00:45:52.199 --> 00:45:53.000 Tidewater Landing. 824 00:45:53.039 --> 00:45:55.679 Where are things coming along? 825 00:45:55.719 --> 00:46:00.639 Well, we are definitely happy that the port is backed 826 00:46:00.719 --> 00:46:03.639 up and running and so that will not delay anything. 827 00:46:03.719 --> 00:46:06.480 But we've got seats in the stadium, not all of 828 00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:08.960 them yet, but we do have seats in the stadium, 829 00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:09.760 so that's nice. 830 00:46:09.800 --> 00:46:12.719 And you know, I think that the yeah, the email 831 00:46:12.800 --> 00:46:16.119 campaign or the season ticket campaign has started and they've 832 00:46:16.119 --> 00:46:18.000 got this cool virtual thing where you can kind of 833 00:46:18.519 --> 00:46:21.199 see each section and what the stadium looks like or 834 00:46:21.239 --> 00:46:24.119 what will look like, and what your seat. 835 00:46:23.800 --> 00:46:26.519 The view and all that stuff. So yeah, that's exciting. 836 00:46:27.159 --> 00:46:30.000 So yeah, we're definitely obviously gearing up for twenty five 837 00:46:30.239 --> 00:46:35.360 while we're keeping a close eye on twenty four because yeah, 838 00:46:35.960 --> 00:46:37.480 playoff aspirations here. 839 00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:41.840 Why yes, you do, and considering where things currently stand, 840 00:46:42.559 --> 00:46:45.280 where the draws have turned into wins, and that reminds 841 00:46:45.280 --> 00:46:48.119 me I still need to catch up with with Thomas 842 00:46:48.119 --> 00:46:50.920 and media relations or perhaps the mogul and training and 843 00:46:50.960 --> 00:46:52.719 figure out how to get kind of on the show. 844 00:46:53.320 --> 00:46:55.360 Right now, you're a part of the chaos in the 845 00:46:55.440 --> 00:46:59.000 second Chase group in the Eastern Conference where it's like 846 00:46:59.079 --> 00:47:03.039 lou City and then everybody else and then Charleston is 847 00:47:03.199 --> 00:47:06.320 the right now in second eleven points to the Chase group, 848 00:47:06.679 --> 00:47:09.239 Detroit City at forty eight, Tampa Bay at forty six, 849 00:47:09.320 --> 00:47:12.599 Indy eleven ten wins or sorry, twelve wins, and a 850 00:47:12.679 --> 00:47:15.400 match in hand on somebody called Rhode Island FC, both 851 00:47:15.400 --> 00:47:17.960 at forty three points. You've won three your last five, 852 00:47:18.679 --> 00:47:21.840 and you have a point on Legion and you've got 853 00:47:21.880 --> 00:47:26.079 five on Louden. You have six below the playoff bar 854 00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:30.400 with Hartford Athletic and a ninth place and thirty seven points, 855 00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:32.559 So there is some there is a little bit of 856 00:47:32.599 --> 00:47:36.239 space right now for Rhode Island FC in the postseason. 857 00:47:36.280 --> 00:47:38.320 But it would be an opening round matchup, if I'm 858 00:47:38.360 --> 00:47:43.000 not mistaken, against l Rouge at Keyworth, and that's always 859 00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:45.239 a fun place to play because they're right on top 860 00:47:45.280 --> 00:47:47.199 of you and they throw things at you and there's 861 00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:49.719 smoke bombs and all these kinds of things. Maybe it's 862 00:47:49.760 --> 00:47:52.440 not a light at Firecracker, mind you, and it's also outdoors, 863 00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:55.760 but it is a rough place to play. 864 00:47:56.000 --> 00:47:58.440 It would the Perkers family wouldn't mind it because it's 865 00:47:58.480 --> 00:48:02.519 a nice little jive, but it wouldn't be the best 866 00:48:02.599 --> 00:48:05.840 venue for us to play. Uh, it's yeah, you're right. 867 00:48:05.880 --> 00:48:06.760 It is tough to play there. 868 00:48:06.800 --> 00:48:11.639 Some of these tur fields are aren't in the best condition. 869 00:48:11.519 --> 00:48:15.320 And they make it challenging right to Detroit's one of those, 870 00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:20.079 and yes, in Pittsburgh's one of them. So hey, but 871 00:48:20.119 --> 00:48:21.800 that's what makes it unique and that's what makes it 872 00:48:21.840 --> 00:48:22.719 fun and challenging. 873 00:48:22.800 --> 00:48:23.760 So we'll see. 874 00:48:23.760 --> 00:48:26.000 But we've got four games left. I think, if you know, 875 00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:27.800 I think if we get if we get three a 876 00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:30.440 out of four wins, we could sneak into the top four. 877 00:48:30.840 --> 00:48:32.760 But if we go to and two, I think that 878 00:48:32.840 --> 00:48:35.159 we'll be we'll finish in the top six. 879 00:48:35.679 --> 00:48:38.280 And I mean that would be very very cool U 880 00:48:38.679 --> 00:48:43.199 for for our resident part of the ownership group. And besides, 881 00:48:43.239 --> 00:48:45.320 you know, hey, we we know a playoff owner. Hey, 882 00:48:45.400 --> 00:48:47.039 we got we got him on speed dial. You know, 883 00:48:47.039 --> 00:48:49.159 we can have him come on on a Friday and 884 00:48:49.199 --> 00:48:54.159 talk about things. When it comes to the pressure of 885 00:48:55.559 --> 00:48:59.840 accomplishment since we're since we're talking playoffs, when it comes 886 00:48:59.840 --> 00:49:05.280 to your mentees and the pressure that's attached to doing well, 887 00:49:05.559 --> 00:49:07.639 and it's almost like the scene and Breakfast Club, you know, 888 00:49:07.679 --> 00:49:10.760 when they're in the library and emiliostev is his character 889 00:49:10.880 --> 00:49:13.480 Andrew is talking about all the pressure from the parents 890 00:49:13.519 --> 00:49:17.239 and everything. When it comes to pressure and succeeding and 891 00:49:17.320 --> 00:49:20.840 trying to do your best. What kind of feedback do 892 00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:24.679 you get from mentees about external pressure where they're just 893 00:49:24.719 --> 00:49:26.840 trying to do as best they can, enjoy what's going 894 00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:29.679 on and what happens happens, and if they succeed and 895 00:49:29.679 --> 00:49:32.519 continue to succeed more over time, that's great. But do 896 00:49:32.599 --> 00:49:35.119 they talk about external pressures with you with you and 897 00:49:35.159 --> 00:49:37.400 Greg a lot, and about how difficult it may or 898 00:49:37.440 --> 00:49:39.400 may not be to handle these kinds of things. 899 00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:45.159 Yeah, they do, And yeah, I think a lot of 900 00:49:45.199 --> 00:49:50.320 it is when they're going through the college. 901 00:49:51.400 --> 00:49:56.239 Recruitment process and they know that they're scouts at games 902 00:49:56.360 --> 00:49:58.719 or if they're players that want to get to a 903 00:49:58.800 --> 00:50:02.239 new team, and they know that sometimes they're being watched, 904 00:50:03.360 --> 00:50:06.880 so you know, it's usually it goes along with aspirations 905 00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:08.000 to get to the next level. 906 00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:15.119 To take that next jump. That would be the biggest pressure. 907 00:50:14.760 --> 00:50:17.360 Induced for sure that we we've come across with our 908 00:50:17.400 --> 00:50:20.920 mentees there, and then there's other players that just feel 909 00:50:21.000 --> 00:50:28.000 pressure to play well. Because those players usually don't say why, 910 00:50:28.360 --> 00:50:30.719 but you know it's usually because they don't want to 911 00:50:30.800 --> 00:50:31.920 let the team down. 912 00:50:31.960 --> 00:50:33.239 They don't want to let coach. 913 00:50:33.079 --> 00:50:35.159 Down, They want to let mom and dad down, right, 914 00:50:36.119 --> 00:50:39.960 and they just want to win because they don't not 915 00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:42.320 because they don't see the value of losing. 916 00:50:42.480 --> 00:50:44.239 But you know, nobody wants to lose. 917 00:50:46.159 --> 00:50:48.199 Before you get out of here, what's going on with 918 00:50:48.199 --> 00:50:49.599 beyond goals entering these days? 919 00:50:51.559 --> 00:50:56.159 We've had two really crazy busy months, So that's it's been. 920 00:50:56.320 --> 00:50:59.079 It's been great.

The locker room 1030 00:56:12.400 --> 00:56:16.400 I think echoed that sentiment a lot, and it was 1031 00:56:16.480 --> 00:56:20.199 just it was one of those things where you know 1032 00:56:21.280 --> 00:56:25.960 you have hope until you can't anymore, and right now, 1033 00:56:26.000 --> 00:56:29.159 I mean, yeah, mathematically there is still a possibility, but 1034 00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:32.000 don't ask me to do the math, but I think 1035 00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:33.760 it's down there below five percent. 1036 00:56:34.360 --> 00:56:38.159 Yeah, But I mean, hey, you sit there and you 1037 00:56:38.239 --> 00:56:43.199 still go and until until you don't go, Then did 1038 00:56:43.239 --> 00:56:45.079 you just keep trying to to plug away at it? 1039 00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:50.280 Because pretty much every result ahead of you didn't hurt you. 1040 00:56:50.719 --> 00:56:54.760 Short of the Montreal giving themselves some space in the eight, 1041 00:56:55.559 --> 00:57:00.239 everybody else didn't do what they needed to do to 1042 00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:04.679 solidify a space going forward here into either two or 1043 00:57:04.760 --> 00:57:06.880 three or one match to go in the twenty twenty 1044 00:57:06.880 --> 00:57:09.920 fourth season. Everybody helped you out when it came to 1045 00:57:09.960 --> 00:57:11.119 doing all that kind of stuff. 1046 00:57:11.960 --> 00:57:15.000 Yeah, And I think that's what's so frustrating is you 1047 00:57:15.079 --> 00:57:17.760 just didn't help yourself out, right, like you're at home. 1048 00:57:18.920 --> 00:57:21.199 I get that. It's Joseph, And I will say, like, 1049 00:57:21.239 --> 00:57:23.800 if anybody's going to knock Atlanta or all butt knock 1050 00:57:23.800 --> 00:57:26.719 Atlanta out of the playoffs, it's only fitting and slightly 1051 00:57:26.760 --> 00:57:29.719 poetic and whatever other words you want to put in here, 1052 00:57:29.719 --> 00:57:33.440 that is Joseph Martinez. Also, for all the people that 1053 00:57:33.480 --> 00:57:36.039 showed up to the bins that day, I'm glad you 1054 00:57:36.079 --> 00:57:40.079 got to see Joseph scoring the bins and not somebody random. 1055 00:57:40.920 --> 00:57:44.599 At least, let it be Joseph, some rando like peop 1056 00:57:44.960 --> 00:57:49.679 yeah a poke, I'm looking at you now. Yeah, but no, 1057 00:57:49.840 --> 00:57:55.719 I mean I think you're you just didn't do yourself 1058 00:57:55.719 --> 00:57:57.960 any favors, right, like everything else really went your way. 1059 00:57:58.039 --> 00:58:00.639 We were kind of in the beginning keeping an eye 1060 00:58:00.679 --> 00:58:04.360 on the scoreboard and things were looking very positive for Atlanta, 1061 00:58:04.639 --> 00:58:07.320 and then you go into the half, right, and you've 1062 00:58:07.320 --> 00:58:10.840 got a little bit of momentum. You know, you scored 1063 00:58:10.840 --> 00:58:13.679 the goal getting close to going and the half and 1064 00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:16.280 then you just couldn't put it away. You couldn't put 1065 00:58:16.320 --> 00:58:20.079 it away. And you know, Joseph that second goal, that's 1066 00:58:20.239 --> 00:58:24.360 vintage Joseph to a t, like you give him a 1067 00:58:24.519 --> 00:58:28.079 slight opportunity in the box like that. And it felt 1068 00:58:28.119 --> 00:58:32.119 like the Julian Gress little Joseph connection that we've seen 1069 00:58:32.119 --> 00:58:35.519 so many times of the Benz except not Julian Gressel 1070 00:58:35.760 --> 00:58:40.639 coming from the other side. But no, I mean, just 1071 00:58:40.679 --> 00:58:44.199 a lot of disappointment from folks, you know, somber and 1072 00:58:44.440 --> 00:58:46.079 you know, we talked about it on the show last night. 1073 00:58:46.159 --> 00:58:49.599 Just the locker room last night or on Wednesday was 1074 00:58:49.760 --> 00:58:53.159 just very down and I know you were in there 1075 00:58:53.199 --> 00:58:59.039 with Rob as well. Just it feels like a lot 1076 00:58:59.079 --> 00:59:01.079 of folks are at the point where they just don't 1077 00:59:01.079 --> 00:59:01.880 know what to say. 1078 00:59:04.119 --> 00:59:05.960 Well, I mean, you run out of things to say. 1079 00:59:06.159 --> 00:59:10.039 You know, it's like if things continue to go on 1080 00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:12.760 and on and on, Uh, you know, what what is 1081 00:59:12.800 --> 00:59:15.800 it that what is it that they say, uh, you know, 1082 00:59:16.159 --> 00:59:21.239 having to do with repeated results, doing the same thing 1083 00:59:21.280 --> 00:59:25.199 over and over again and anticipating a different result. 1084 00:59:25.559 --> 00:59:27.480 Is something in there that's like, you know, it doesn't 1085 00:59:27.519 --> 00:59:28.159 happen or whatever. 1086 00:59:28.280 --> 00:59:29.960 The definition of insanity. 1087 00:59:29.559 --> 00:59:31.400 Thank you, definition of in saying doing something over and 1088 00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:34.360 over again and anticipating a different result. Alex he says, 1089 00:59:34.440 --> 00:59:37.559 y'all are a bunch of sickos, Sico's committee, no desira 1090 00:59:37.639 --> 00:59:39.639 or preference for Joseph to be the one to score. 1091 00:59:41.400 --> 00:59:44.800 I mean there there are those. And Joseph, to his credit, 1092 00:59:44.960 --> 00:59:50.280 this time did not celebrate. Last time out he celebrated, 1093 00:59:50.679 --> 00:59:52.599 and I would thought that that would have stuck with 1094 00:59:52.639 --> 00:59:56.119 a lot of folks that he celebrated last time he 1095 00:59:56.159 --> 00:59:58.159 was here, this time he did not. It was it 1096 00:59:58.199 --> 01:00:01.360 was interesting to see the dichotomy this time around with 1097 01:00:02.239 --> 01:00:06.079 with Joseph and the the lack of a celebration, and 1098 01:00:06.119 --> 01:00:08.400 there were the videos that CF Montreal put out there 1099 01:00:08.440 --> 01:00:12.480 and all this kind of stuff. So it was it 1100 01:00:12.519 --> 01:00:15.679 was an interesting dichotomy with this version of Joseph as 1101 01:00:15.719 --> 01:00:17.559 opposed to the other version of Joseph when he was 1102 01:00:17.599 --> 01:00:20.039 with Messi and friends trying to make sure, mister Messi, 1103 01:00:20.239 --> 01:00:22.280 is your seat warm enough? Do you do you need 1104 01:00:22.320 --> 01:00:24.320 an a partief? Do you do you need a do 1105 01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:26.480 you need some you know? With your cafe? Do you 1106 01:00:26.519 --> 01:00:27.400 need you know whatever? 1107 01:00:27.639 --> 01:00:29.400 Can I bring you a latte? 1108 01:00:29.679 --> 01:00:29.880 Yes? 1109 01:00:30.199 --> 01:00:32.239 Can I bring you a Latte for mister Beckham, Sir, 1110 01:00:32.440 --> 01:00:33.920 you know, one of the it was it was a 1111 01:00:33.960 --> 01:00:39.320 different it was a different Joseph Joseph vibe. But I 1112 01:00:39.320 --> 01:00:40.800 mean it was, like I said, it was a different 1113 01:00:40.880 --> 01:00:45.360 Joseph vibe. And for Joseph to possibly be the one 1114 01:00:46.239 --> 01:00:48.599 to take your to take your point and go one 1115 01:00:48.639 --> 01:00:50.960 hundred and eighty degrees with it, For Joseph to end 1116 01:00:51.039 --> 01:00:54.440 up being the one that might be the individual that 1117 01:00:54.760 --> 01:00:57.760 knocks Atlanta out when they when you needed a result, 1118 01:00:58.880 --> 01:01:01.280 the irony there lost on a lot of folks. 1119 01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:07.639 Yeah, absolutely, and I think maybe it eases the blow 1120 01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:10.199 a little bit. But it's one of those things where 1121 01:01:10.320 --> 01:01:16.800 the team has had opportunities, they've had control of their 1122 01:01:16.840 --> 01:01:19.960 own destiny. Now, you know, for a while, I mean 1123 01:01:19.960 --> 01:01:21.639 obviously you could say that about every team to the 1124 01:01:21.679 --> 01:01:23.480 whole season, but as it got closer to the end 1125 01:01:23.519 --> 01:01:28.960 of the season, things were looking somewhat probable that you 1126 01:01:29.039 --> 01:01:30.920 still made the playoffs. You just had to win a 1127 01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:33.559 few games, right, and you just haven't been able to 1128 01:01:33.599 --> 01:01:36.519 do that. And so yeah, I mean, to get to 1129 01:01:36.559 --> 01:01:38.880 the point where you're backed against a wall and then 1130 01:01:39.039 --> 01:01:41.000 you know, Joseph comes in with the dagger. I mean, 1131 01:01:41.639 --> 01:01:46.400 it is what it is. But Joseph, to his credit, yeah, 1132 01:01:46.440 --> 01:01:49.800 I mean, you know, he runs around wearing number seventeen, 1133 01:01:49.840 --> 01:01:52.360 which I get that was his his number well before 1134 01:01:52.400 --> 01:01:54.639 Atlanta as well, but also I think there's there's something 1135 01:01:54.840 --> 01:01:56.840 absolutely about the fact that he chose to wear that 1136 01:01:56.920 --> 01:02:03.119 number still up there. You know, when we were in 1137 01:02:03.119 --> 01:02:05.760 there talking with Rob and when we went to the 1138 01:02:05.800 --> 01:02:08.199 Atlanta nine of locker room, Sydney actually went to go 1139 01:02:08.239 --> 01:02:11.360 talk to Joseph and he did an article over on 1140 01:02:11.599 --> 01:02:16.719 discarverssbikes dot com. And but when I got back up 1141 01:02:16.800 --> 01:02:18.679 to the press box that night and we were getting 1142 01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:24.000 ready to record our three Takeaways video, he the first 1143 01:02:24.039 --> 01:02:26.119 thing he said was, it just seems like Joseph is 1144 01:02:26.159 --> 01:02:30.280 like at peace, okay, And he talked to him and said, 1145 01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:32.880 you know, I have nothing but love for this city, 1146 01:02:33.159 --> 01:02:35.519 you know, more than anything, but I have to fight 1147 01:02:35.559 --> 01:02:38.440 for the colors that I'm wearing. And I mean that's 1148 01:02:38.480 --> 01:02:40.599 the job, right, Like, yes, you're getting paid the due, 1149 01:02:40.679 --> 01:02:43.760 so there's no hard feelings. But it does seem like 1150 01:02:43.840 --> 01:02:48.199 he's kind of moved past everything, at least according you know, 1151 01:02:48.239 --> 01:02:50.159 to kind of the vibe that Sidney got from him. 1152 01:02:50.159 --> 01:02:54.599 So wish him the best obviously, always have. And if 1153 01:02:54.840 --> 01:02:58.719 if he has moved on and he's not, you know, 1154 01:02:58.800 --> 01:03:01.239 upset about the way things went down, then you know, 1155 01:03:01.280 --> 01:03:04.840 more power to him, because if we're being honest, this 1156 01:03:04.920 --> 01:03:08.079 team and this entire club is totally different than what 1157 01:03:08.079 --> 01:03:10.320 it was the last time Joseph wore a Atlanta jersey. 1158 01:03:10.960 --> 01:03:14.920 Uh, and David to the point and Bart your comment, 1159 01:03:14.960 --> 01:03:16.559 I do want to circle back to as a part 1160 01:03:16.559 --> 01:03:20.079 of this, David says, uh failing to finish chances early 1161 01:03:20.119 --> 01:03:22.000 being something that dooms them late. Saba miss off the 1162 01:03:22.000 --> 01:03:24.440 post falls in the category Joseph gets his bad angle 1163 01:03:24.480 --> 01:03:27.039 touch and Saba misses. So but there were chances for 1164 01:03:27.119 --> 01:03:30.239 Atlanta United, and this is something that's occurred all season long. 1165 01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:33.400 The the missed opportunities, the shots that you know, hit 1166 01:03:33.400 --> 01:03:36.719 the post, the saves, the the pass that should have 1167 01:03:36.760 --> 01:03:38.760 been taken as opposed to hanging on to a ball. 1168 01:03:38.800 --> 01:03:41.159 And Rob mentioned that in the post match press conference too. 1169 01:03:41.159 --> 01:03:43.920 There were a couple of looks where the pass would 1170 01:03:43.920 --> 01:03:45.679 have been the play as opposed to hanging on to 1171 01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:47.880 it and attempting a shot that gets either blocked or 1172 01:03:47.880 --> 01:03:50.199 saved or what have you. But now and the seats 1173 01:03:50.280 --> 01:03:53.960 and but yes, Saba's opportunity, sabas miss off the post, 1174 01:03:55.280 --> 01:03:57.519 you have your I mean literally we could probably sit 1175 01:03:57.559 --> 01:03:58.800 there and go through all the matches and go. 1176 01:03:58.880 --> 01:04:01.119 Okay, here, here, here, here, and here, and it will 1177 01:04:01.119 --> 01:04:01.400 be a. 1178 01:04:01.400 --> 01:04:04.599 Laundry list of missed opportunities for the club in from 1179 01:04:04.679 --> 01:04:06.119 the ball in the back of the net this season. 1180 01:04:06.920 --> 01:04:10.800 Yeah, and you know, Saba specifically has got to be 1181 01:04:10.800 --> 01:04:14.119 the unluckiest guy on the planet. Like I put up 1182 01:04:14.119 --> 01:04:16.840 a meme or a gift during the middle of the 1183 01:04:16.880 --> 01:04:19.559 match after he hit the crossbar again or the would 1184 01:04:19.599 --> 01:04:22.760 work again, and it was just like, you know, Saba 1185 01:04:23.000 --> 01:04:25.599 and the woodwork they just hate each other like they 1186 01:04:25.639 --> 01:04:29.039 cannot stand. It's been so many times this season where 1187 01:04:29.079 --> 01:04:33.119 he's he's come so close, and you know, for him 1188 01:04:33.159 --> 01:04:36.519 to still be your your leading playmaker essentially in terms 1189 01:04:36.559 --> 01:04:40.320 of numbers is astounding and you just think of like 1190 01:04:40.360 --> 01:04:43.280 what could have been? Yeah, right, But that's just that's 1191 01:04:43.320 --> 01:04:46.480 the season. I mean, there's so many, so many aspects 1192 01:04:46.519 --> 01:04:48.719 of the season where it's just it was so close. 1193 01:04:49.079 --> 01:04:53.039 It was so close. You had the finest of margins, 1194 01:04:53.079 --> 01:04:57.360 whether defensively or offensively. Lately, it's been offensively to where 1195 01:04:57.400 --> 01:04:59.840 you could have squosed out another three or six points 1196 01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:02.599 and we would be having a totally different conversation. And 1197 01:05:02.599 --> 01:05:04.840 that's what's so frustrating about it is it's not like you're, 1198 01:05:05.440 --> 01:05:08.519 you know, fifteen points below the playoff line. You've been 1199 01:05:08.599 --> 01:05:11.119 right there on the edge for what a month and 1200 01:05:11.159 --> 01:05:14.239 a half and you just just didn't go your. 1201 01:05:14.159 --> 01:05:19.880 Way and you have leads that are lost giving up 1202 01:05:19.920 --> 01:05:22.039 the first goal once again, tell me if you've heard 1203 01:05:22.079 --> 01:05:24.960 this before, you get to you give up the first goal, 1204 01:05:25.039 --> 01:05:27.360 you come back and fight, and then something else happens. 1205 01:05:27.360 --> 01:05:29.079 It either ends up being a draw or it ends 1206 01:05:29.159 --> 01:05:33.960 up being a win the other way. So there are 1207 01:05:33.960 --> 01:05:36.760 a lot of different things, and the post mortem and 1208 01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:40.639 the analysis of this season, whenever it ends, it's going 1209 01:05:40.719 --> 01:05:43.079 to have a lot of these these topics that are 1210 01:05:43.119 --> 01:05:46.119 going to be discussed. And our friends at spot track 1211 01:05:46.159 --> 01:05:49.400 are going to let us know about salaries and you know, 1212 01:05:49.480 --> 01:05:52.440 the nine players that are at the end of their 1213 01:05:52.559 --> 01:05:55.400 contracts or have options that could or could not be 1214 01:05:55.440 --> 01:05:59.519 picked up after the calendar year is over, and they're 1215 01:05:59.639 --> 01:06:02.320 going there's going to be there. There is going to 1216 01:06:02.360 --> 01:06:04.760 be there are going to be there. There is going 1217 01:06:04.800 --> 01:06:08.800 to be a tremendous amount of decisions that will be 1218 01:06:08.880 --> 01:06:12.480 made by the garth Logger way led at the moment 1219 01:06:12.559 --> 01:06:17.559 front office and how this is going to go forward, 1220 01:06:17.719 --> 01:06:21.280 and and and one of the things that will always 1221 01:06:21.320 --> 01:06:24.880 stick with me and especially and literally if you mentioned, 1222 01:06:24.920 --> 01:06:28.000 if you mentioned to Jarrett Pedro Amador, if you mentioned 1223 01:06:28.039 --> 01:06:30.119 Pedro Amador to Jarrett, Yeah, there you go, finish. 1224 01:06:30.199 --> 01:06:31.880 You're gonna need to You're gonna need to get you 1225 01:06:31.920 --> 01:06:32.800 need like round two. 1226 01:06:32.840 --> 01:06:33.239 I'm sure. 1227 01:06:33.320 --> 01:06:34.400 Yeah. 1228 01:06:35.840 --> 01:06:40.000 Sticking up for teammates, that is something I think that 1229 01:06:40.800 --> 01:06:43.159 uh and being there as a part of a collective, 1230 01:06:43.199 --> 01:06:46.039 I think that is going to be something that a 1231 01:06:46.079 --> 01:06:50.039 lot of folks inside the Children's Health Care of Atlanta 1232 01:06:50.039 --> 01:06:53.119 training ground, inside that locker room, outside those of us 1233 01:06:53.159 --> 01:06:55.239 that cover it and watch it on a daily basis. 1234 01:06:56.239 --> 01:06:58.159 Being there for your teammates, I think it is going 1235 01:06:58.239 --> 01:07:01.599 to be something that that will be thought of and 1236 01:07:01.679 --> 01:07:06.199 heartfelt and thought about a lot in the postseason and 1237 01:07:06.239 --> 01:07:07.039 then the offseason. 1238 01:07:07.920 --> 01:07:12.559 That it's a culture thing in a way, like unless 1239 01:07:12.559 --> 01:07:16.559 you're being explicitly told not to, you know, go potentially 1240 01:07:16.559 --> 01:07:21.440 get a yellow or or whatever, there's no reason to 1241 01:07:21.599 --> 01:07:24.440 not go in on some of the some of the 1242 01:07:24.440 --> 01:07:26.719 players that have put in these really bad challenges lately. 1243 01:07:26.760 --> 01:07:29.559 And yeah, I mean Pedromedor is like the most egregious one. 1244 01:07:29.559 --> 01:07:31.880 But you know, I've kind of been pointing it out 1245 01:07:31.960 --> 01:07:34.480 to like Sydney and Henry and and folks in the 1246 01:07:34.480 --> 01:07:38.360 press box, like over the past few matches where somebody 1247 01:07:38.360 --> 01:07:40.639 goes down and Atlanta player goes down and the only 1248 01:07:40.679 --> 01:07:45.239 one running over there is Brad And I understand he's 1249 01:07:45.239 --> 01:07:49.400 the captain, but we know that's not just because he's captain. 1250 01:07:49.440 --> 01:07:56.400 That's Brad. Where is everybody else? And that's just one 1251 01:07:56.559 --> 01:07:59.679 part of the report card, I think at the end 1252 01:07:59.719 --> 01:08:00.280 of the day. 1253 01:08:00.079 --> 01:08:00.199 Day. 1254 01:08:02.440 --> 01:08:07.679 Yeah, but like show some a hole at some. 1255 01:08:07.719 --> 01:08:11.000 Point, like testicular fortitude. 1256 01:08:10.639 --> 01:08:14.079 Yes, yes, absolutely, and and and show the fans like 1257 01:08:14.239 --> 01:08:17.680 you're at home. You're at home, and you're not playing 1258 01:08:17.720 --> 01:08:22.079 well at home like much less away. You got to 1259 01:08:22.079 --> 01:08:25.000 give the fans something to hold onto. And I've been 1260 01:08:25.039 --> 01:08:27.479 saying that for for a while now, like with the 1261 01:08:27.520 --> 01:08:29.960 front office and the way things are going, like fans 1262 01:08:30.079 --> 01:08:36.399 just admittedly aren't very excited about the team. And the 1263 01:08:36.399 --> 01:08:39.319 best way that you can you can kind of drum 1264 01:08:39.399 --> 01:08:41.520 up a little bit of something is to give the 1265 01:08:41.520 --> 01:08:43.479 fans something to hold onto, and that has to come 1266 01:08:44.399 --> 01:08:46.680 ultimately from the pitch. It has to be the players 1267 01:08:46.720 --> 01:08:49.359 going out there and showing that they're fighting for the badge. 1268 01:08:49.399 --> 01:08:52.560 And that doesn't always mean you know, running seven and 1269 01:08:52.560 --> 01:08:54.600 a half miles in a match and and you know, 1270 01:08:55.159 --> 01:08:57.479 just running yourself into the ground like that's great one 1271 01:08:57.520 --> 01:09:03.119 hundred percent, but you got to show some personality, some attitude, 1272 01:09:03.399 --> 01:09:06.880 and I just don't see that right now. I don't like, 1273 01:09:07.399 --> 01:09:10.600 I see, you know, there's complaints, want to play or 1274 01:09:10.600 --> 01:09:13.520 a foul doesn't go your way, things like that, but 1275 01:09:13.680 --> 01:09:22.479 I don't see the swag, I guess, and the chemistry 1276 01:09:22.600 --> 01:09:25.920 is just it feels non existent. And Rob even said 1277 01:09:25.920 --> 01:09:29.159 it in the press conference. He said, you know, I 1278 01:09:29.760 --> 01:09:31.520 see the same thing that y'all do, and I feel 1279 01:09:31.560 --> 01:09:33.800 the way y'all do about how it feels like the 1280 01:09:33.840 --> 01:09:37.199 team comes out flat all the time. And for him 1281 01:09:37.199 --> 01:09:38.680 to say that now, I mean, I wish he had 1282 01:09:38.680 --> 01:09:40.840 an answer for it, but nobody seems happy it. 1283 01:09:40.840 --> 01:09:43.359 Well, there's only so much that a coach in any 1284 01:09:43.399 --> 01:09:46.680 situation like that can do. You can you and your 1285 01:09:46.760 --> 01:09:52.399 staff can get a team prepared for a match that 1286 01:09:52.600 --> 01:09:57.920 is as important as these matches are and then when 1287 01:09:58.279 --> 01:10:02.800 the team goes out and does not perform and match 1288 01:10:03.000 --> 01:10:07.720 the level of expectation, self expectation, and the level that 1289 01:10:07.960 --> 01:10:10.000 you know, they feel that they should be meeting if 1290 01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:12.239 they're going to be chasing after you know, three points, 1291 01:10:12.239 --> 01:10:15.840 playoff spot, all those kinds of factors, then there's only 1292 01:10:15.960 --> 01:10:18.640 what is it we talked about it? You know the 1293 01:10:18.680 --> 01:10:21.239 definition of insanity. You know, you keep doing the same 1294 01:10:21.279 --> 01:10:24.439 thing over and over again and anticipating a different result. 1295 01:10:24.439 --> 01:10:26.079 There's only so many times that you can sit there 1296 01:10:26.119 --> 01:10:28.960 and hope that you're giving the message and getting the 1297 01:10:28.960 --> 01:10:32.079 message across, and you hope that the players are listening, 1298 01:10:32.079 --> 01:10:35.479 and then it comes to the implementation of that message. 1299 01:10:35.479 --> 01:10:38.520 There's only so many times, Like a coach cannot be 1300 01:10:38.560 --> 01:10:42.119 an eligible player yep, and be out there and go, well, 1301 01:10:42.159 --> 01:10:44.640 this is what I'm you know, And like the conversation 1302 01:10:44.680 --> 01:10:47.279 we were had with Michael with Michael parkerst where a 1303 01:10:47.359 --> 01:10:50.319 coach can tell you something and then you have the 1304 01:10:50.359 --> 01:10:52.239 players out there that'll sit there and they'll tweak the 1305 01:10:52.239 --> 01:10:54.920 message out there because they're the ones out there adjusting, 1306 01:10:54.960 --> 01:10:56.760 and it's like we're the ones playing. Okay, so let's 1307 01:10:56.800 --> 01:10:59.159 suggest this, this, this, and this. A coach is not 1308 01:10:59.239 --> 01:11:01.680 out there to help you adjust to do this, this, this, 1309 01:11:01.680 --> 01:11:03.880 this and this. You get, you get all of this, 1310 01:11:03.960 --> 01:11:06.399 and you get you get this from coaches, they're not 1311 01:11:06.520 --> 01:11:08.560 out there doing that same thing because you know, they 1312 01:11:08.560 --> 01:11:10.520 have to stay in their their dotted space. 1313 01:11:11.119 --> 01:11:13.760 So there's only so much that a coach can do. 1314 01:11:13.960 --> 01:11:16.800 Ultimately, it comes down to the players and their performance 1315 01:11:17.199 --> 01:11:20.039 on the field on it on a game by game basis. 1316 01:11:21.640 --> 01:11:27.600 Yeah, And I think that's what's really really frustrating from 1317 01:11:27.600 --> 01:11:29.880 the players perspective, and then of course from the fans 1318 01:11:29.880 --> 01:11:33.760 because you see, like you know, up in the the stands, 1319 01:11:34.039 --> 01:11:40.880 you watch the team play lately especially and now it 1320 01:11:41.039 --> 01:11:46.319 doesn't necessarily feel like they have an identity. They are 1321 01:11:46.359 --> 01:11:49.279 trying new things like credit to rob you know, I mean, 1322 01:11:49.359 --> 01:11:51.720 put Jay Fortune on the left wing, like changing things around, 1323 01:11:51.800 --> 01:11:53.880 like there's there's things that are being done to just 1324 01:11:55.279 --> 01:11:57.319 not do the same thing over and over again, right, 1325 01:11:57.359 --> 01:12:01.560 But it just feels like it's just a mentality thing. 1326 01:12:01.800 --> 01:12:05.640 And that's very tough to fix. That's very tough to 1327 01:12:05.680 --> 01:12:08.880 fix because you have to identify what the actual problem 1328 01:12:08.960 --> 01:12:11.640 is first and then come up with a way to 1329 01:12:12.159 --> 01:12:15.279 fix it, but it doesn't feel like anybody has really 1330 01:12:15.319 --> 01:12:17.920 determined like what the problem is. Like we can say chemistry, 1331 01:12:17.960 --> 01:12:20.560 we can say mentality, we can say all those words 1332 01:12:20.600 --> 01:12:26.119 all day, but there's something specific that somebody is gonna 1333 01:12:26.159 --> 01:12:29.840 have to find and nail it down and remove it 1334 01:12:30.720 --> 01:12:33.279 and start building back, like you know, a culture of 1335 01:12:33.680 --> 01:12:37.359 truly winning, not just playing to not lose. 1336 01:12:38.279 --> 01:12:40.840 Doug Robertson of the AJAC is saying that he does 1337 01:12:40.880 --> 01:12:44.359 not see Shanda Silva out at practice this morning getting 1338 01:12:44.399 --> 01:12:46.640 ready for Red Bulls coming up this weekend for the 1339 01:12:46.680 --> 01:12:50.399 last home match of the season for Atlanda United. David's 1340 01:12:50.399 --> 01:12:53.119 fan impression mostly frustration, belief we certainly should be getting 1341 01:12:53.119 --> 01:12:54.439 more out of the group than we do. It's not 1342 01:12:54.479 --> 01:12:56.520 they're just bad, but more we're flat or just finding 1343 01:12:56.600 --> 01:12:58.239 new ways to lose. And other guys like Tristan and 1344 01:12:58.239 --> 01:13:01.920 Shande who flashed when they've arrived and have not just 1345 01:13:02.000 --> 01:13:06.439 re emerged, and shandaih Shanday and Jamal it is they 1346 01:13:06.520 --> 01:13:08.720 have not been healthy one hundred percent of the time, 1347 01:13:08.880 --> 01:13:12.119 and then you're trying to regain the form you had 1348 01:13:12.159 --> 01:13:15.399 when you were healthy, and that takes time and with 1349 01:13:15.640 --> 01:13:19.199 urgency in a situation. There are all these things that 1350 01:13:19.199 --> 01:13:22.600 that snowball and trying to regain what you had, and 1351 01:13:22.680 --> 01:13:25.000 it's not something where you can flip a switch and 1352 01:13:25.000 --> 01:13:27.239 it's like, Okay, i'm on, i'm off, i'm off, i'm on, 1353 01:13:27.359 --> 01:13:28.319 I can get it all back. 1354 01:13:28.560 --> 01:13:29.039 It takes. 1355 01:13:29.760 --> 01:13:33.640 It takes growing back into the situation because of the 1356 01:13:34.039 --> 01:13:37.159 lingering issues that are attached to an injury, the you know, 1357 01:13:37.239 --> 01:13:39.520 the probably the internal concern that you have as an 1358 01:13:39.560 --> 01:13:42.560 athlete about getting back to form, not wanting to press, 1359 01:13:42.640 --> 01:13:44.960 but you feel like you have to press, and you know, 1360 01:13:45.039 --> 01:13:46.880 help out your team. All these different kinds of things 1361 01:13:46.920 --> 01:13:50.479 that are there. Uh, Bart, let me get to Bart's point. 1362 01:13:51.359 --> 01:13:52.920 Bart wants to know if he's a bad fan by 1363 01:13:52.920 --> 01:13:54.479 wanting the team to miss the playoffs. So there's no 1364 01:13:54.520 --> 01:13:57.800 pretense of success when evaluating individual performances this year for 1365 01:13:57.920 --> 01:14:00.279 end of your roster decisions and transfer market. Bart, I 1366 01:14:00.319 --> 01:14:05.319 would say this, Bart as as a fan of West 1367 01:14:05.399 --> 01:14:10.000 Virginia football, and Bart is a West Virginia West Virginia 1368 01:14:10.199 --> 01:14:12.920 Leonora Ryan. So take your pick either Division two playoffs 1369 01:14:13.039 --> 01:14:16.840 or Division one college football. I think even if you 1370 01:14:16.920 --> 01:14:21.600 finish six and six, you want the bowl game. So 1371 01:14:21.680 --> 01:14:26.479 you can sit there engage how you are. In a 1372 01:14:27.560 --> 01:14:29.880 college football sense, I think you want that bowl game 1373 01:14:29.920 --> 01:14:32.640 to get those extra practices, to see what it looks 1374 01:14:32.720 --> 01:14:35.239 like leading into next season. I think that in other sports, 1375 01:14:35.600 --> 01:14:36.239 you'll want to. 1376 01:14:36.159 --> 01:14:37.079 Be the eighth seed. 1377 01:14:37.359 --> 01:14:41.359 As Jared has said and has mentioned to everybody here repeatedly. 1378 01:14:41.960 --> 01:14:46.520 Stanley Cup champion twenty twelve Los Angeles Kings, eight seed 1379 01:14:47.439 --> 01:14:50.800 and got a keeper, got a goalie and Jonathan Quick 1380 01:14:50.800 --> 01:14:55.560 that was on a heater and it was four four four. 1381 01:14:56.079 --> 01:14:59.840 Beat the Rangers win a Stanley Cup. You don't know 1382 01:15:00.399 --> 01:15:03.359 until you get in. That's literally that's how I look 1383 01:15:03.399 --> 01:15:05.600 at it when it comes to I want, I want 1384 01:15:05.640 --> 01:15:07.920 a team to get into a playoff just so I 1385 01:15:07.920 --> 01:15:09.880 can get those extra practices, just so I can see 1386 01:15:09.880 --> 01:15:11.600 what you got, just so I can continue to further 1387 01:15:11.640 --> 01:15:14.000 evaluate instead of having a you know, have the garage 1388 01:15:14.039 --> 01:15:17.119 door shut on a season. What about what Bart said 1389 01:15:17.119 --> 01:15:18.840 and we put it back up here for you, Tyler. 1390 01:15:18.920 --> 01:15:21.239 That's Bart about getting into the postseason. 1391 01:15:21.279 --> 01:15:21.880 What about you? 1392 01:15:22.800 --> 01:15:24.640 I mean, I don't. I don't think you're a bad fan. 1393 01:15:24.880 --> 01:15:25.159 Bart. 1394 01:15:25.159 --> 01:15:28.399 I don't because there are thousands of other people that 1395 01:15:28.439 --> 01:15:34.520 feel the same way you do. I think what like 1396 01:15:34.600 --> 01:15:39.279 what John is saying, Absolutely, you you have to try 1397 01:15:39.319 --> 01:15:42.159 to get in and just see where it goes, because 1398 01:15:43.560 --> 01:15:47.119 that is the one, you know, positive or negative depending 1399 01:15:47.159 --> 01:15:50.239 on who you ask about MLS. It's a different playoff format. 1400 01:15:50.319 --> 01:15:53.880 It's an American playoff format, and so there is always 1401 01:15:53.920 --> 01:15:56.960 that very very small belief that you can get in 1402 01:15:57.479 --> 01:16:02.520 and have a you know, just a dream run. But 1403 01:16:05.119 --> 01:16:08.880 I said it last night, and if I am Garth Logerway, 1404 01:16:10.399 --> 01:16:15.880 I'm going to the team, every first team player before 1405 01:16:15.880 --> 01:16:21.239 this match tomorrow and telling them this is essentially a 1406 01:16:21.359 --> 01:16:22.439 job interview. 1407 01:16:22.119 --> 01:16:22.680 The next one. 1408 01:16:23.279 --> 01:16:24.520 It has been for a while. 1409 01:16:24.720 --> 01:16:26.680 I mean it should have been. It should have been, 1410 01:16:26.720 --> 01:16:28.880 but like it just feels like that message is not 1411 01:16:28.920 --> 01:16:32.079 like you would think that if if the players really 1412 01:16:32.079 --> 01:16:36.000 felt that, then you wouldn't be having the same mistakes 1413 01:16:36.000 --> 01:16:38.439 and that the same thing's going on that you have 1414 01:16:38.560 --> 01:16:42.760 right now. And I mean, I know, I know it's 1415 01:16:42.800 --> 01:16:45.640 a hard place for the players because I know they're trying. 1416 01:16:45.840 --> 01:16:47.760 I'm like, I've come on here and I've tried to 1417 01:16:47.800 --> 01:16:50.199 make sure that is understood and i know y'all have 1418 01:16:50.239 --> 01:16:51.720 as well. Like I know it's not that they're just 1419 01:16:51.760 --> 01:16:53.760 like punting the season or giving up, like I know 1420 01:16:53.800 --> 01:16:56.640 they're trying, but morale is a heck of a thing. 1421 01:16:57.000 --> 01:17:00.640 And if if you're morale is not there, your job, 1422 01:17:01.479 --> 01:17:03.399 you might be able to go do the job, but 1423 01:17:03.479 --> 01:17:05.079 you're probably not going to do it as well as 1424 01:17:05.079 --> 01:17:08.479 you could. And that's kind of like where we're at 1425 01:17:08.560 --> 01:17:10.479 right now. And so you've got to find as a professional, 1426 01:17:10.520 --> 01:17:12.159 you've got to find a way to dig deep and 1427 01:17:12.600 --> 01:17:18.199 self motivate. And if you can't and your boss telling 1428 01:17:18.239 --> 01:17:22.039 you essentially that you might not have a job, We're 1429 01:17:22.039 --> 01:17:25.079 going to find a way to rebuild everything. If that 1430 01:17:25.119 --> 01:17:26.840 doesn't do it for you either, then you really don't 1431 01:17:26.880 --> 01:17:31.319 have any business wearing the shirt. And I'm not saying 1432 01:17:31.359 --> 01:17:35.399 anybody specific. I don't know that that's how you know 1433 01:17:35.600 --> 01:17:38.399 the players feel, but I know how the fans feel, 1434 01:17:38.399 --> 01:17:40.239 and I know how it looks out there on the pitch. 1435 01:17:41.079 --> 01:17:43.319 And that's the only thing I can come up with 1436 01:17:43.560 --> 01:17:46.319 is do you want to be a part of next 1437 01:17:46.399 --> 01:17:50.680 year and this, as Henry said, the redemption arc? Or 1438 01:17:50.680 --> 01:17:51.840 do we need to move on from you? 1439 01:17:53.279 --> 01:17:56.239 And I think that a part of this, and this 1440 01:17:56.359 --> 01:17:59.840 is something that we've talked about a lot here is 1441 01:18:00.399 --> 01:18:07.119 the youth that is available to Atlanta United, whether it's 1442 01:18:07.760 --> 01:18:12.279 two's cup of coffee. Players have been first team, second team, 1443 01:18:12.720 --> 01:18:15.199 you have the academy guys that are that are growing, 1444 01:18:15.600 --> 01:18:17.960 and we'll have another season under their belt. There's a 1445 01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:22.560 lot of promise and and bart to your point about 1446 01:18:22.560 --> 01:18:25.600 extra practice as substitute players and players who've proven who 1447 01:18:25.600 --> 01:18:31.600 they are. This the continued reps for me, give me 1448 01:18:31.640 --> 01:18:34.119 an opportunity to sit there and continue to look at 1449 01:18:34.119 --> 01:18:36.840 folks like Noah Cobb in a practice situation, Ephan Morales 1450 01:18:36.880 --> 01:18:41.720 in a practice situation, Matt Edwards jad and Hibbert Jay 1451 01:18:41.800 --> 01:18:44.920 Fortune to continue to see what he's got, you know, 1452 01:18:44.960 --> 01:18:47.680 Aiden Torres as he continues to go Yeah, I mentioned 1453 01:18:47.680 --> 01:18:50.399 in a lot of kids. But for me, I think 1454 01:18:50.399 --> 01:18:54.880 it's beneficial for those younger players, whether they're twos or 1455 01:18:54.920 --> 01:18:58.359 first team contract or what have you. You know, Jacob Williams, 1456 01:18:58.680 --> 01:19:00.680 you know, maybe a hobby armist or an noble Akello 1457 01:19:00.800 --> 01:19:01.960 or a cream to me me a lot of the 1458 01:19:01.960 --> 01:19:04.680 folks that we've seen with the twos to continue to 1459 01:19:04.760 --> 01:19:07.760 interact with those first team players to see how they are. 1460 01:19:08.520 --> 01:19:11.119 Like I said, if if there's somebody and I am 1461 01:19:11.159 --> 01:19:13.560 not casting in a spursion I'm just saying that if there, 1462 01:19:13.600 --> 01:19:15.720 if that, if you are at the Children's self gare 1463 01:19:15.760 --> 01:19:17.920 at Atlanta training Ground and you are looking at Luke Brennan, 1464 01:19:17.920 --> 01:19:20.960 thank you, Abby, excellent excellent pick up there too. Uh, 1465 01:19:21.039 --> 01:19:24.600 if you're looking at folks, whether it's a Landing Nighted 1466 01:19:24.680 --> 01:19:27.840 two roster and with what Steve Cook and Lewis Sharp 1467 01:19:28.000 --> 01:19:31.000 and Jose Silva, that what they've done. You get those guys, 1468 01:19:31.039 --> 01:19:33.800 you have them go into the same situation and practice 1469 01:19:33.840 --> 01:19:36.880 against the first team. You get to see those Alan 1470 01:19:36.960 --> 01:19:39.479 Carlton another one that that is that is there? Literally 1471 01:19:39.520 --> 01:19:41.399 I could I could literally run down the roster of 1472 01:19:41.399 --> 01:19:44.479 the twos and I could tell you, hell, I'm gonna 1473 01:19:44.479 --> 01:19:46.680 go ahead and do it. I'm gonna do it right now. 1474 01:19:47.239 --> 01:19:48.920 I mean, I get to get around my razzles and 1475 01:19:48.960 --> 01:19:51.920 my and my charms blow pops and everything. Is that 1476 01:19:52.039 --> 01:19:53.520 a piano, Yeah, it's a piano. 1477 01:19:53.760 --> 01:19:55.800 I did not know that this entire time, I've not 1478 01:19:55.920 --> 01:19:57.119 known that that was a piano sitting. 1479 01:19:58.119 --> 01:20:03.079 Yeah, the boss, the boss plays piano. Okay, so all right, 1480 01:20:03.119 --> 01:20:06.399 so let's take a peek at this. Effrian Morales, Aiden 1481 01:20:06.439 --> 01:20:08.760 Torres Noah cop and I'm just literally I'm just running 1482 01:20:08.760 --> 01:20:12.279 down the list. Efrian Morales, Aiden Torres, Noah kab Luke, 1483 01:20:12.319 --> 01:20:16.039 Brennan Fermino, Ramsey Cowasmi with what he's been able to 1484 01:20:16.039 --> 01:20:18.880 do at the back, Ethan Dudley coming from Florida Gulf 1485 01:20:18.880 --> 01:20:23.239 Coast inserting himself into the back line, Alan Carlton Noble, 1486 01:20:23.359 --> 01:20:25.199 Rodrigo Neeri who got a call up to the U 1487 01:20:25.239 --> 01:20:28.520 twenties recently, matt Edwards, Cooper Sanchez probably a couple of 1488 01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:30.920 years away with academy time, but still seeing what you've 1489 01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:33.279 got with Cooper, Matthew de Janey's still at the academy, 1490 01:20:33.479 --> 01:20:36.840 Dominic Chong Que who at the age of sixteen d 1491 01:20:37.000 --> 01:20:39.359 c Q has put in quality work. On the left 1492 01:20:39.399 --> 01:20:44.960 hand side, You've got Eric Centino as he recovers from 1493 01:20:44.960 --> 01:20:47.319 his ankle injury, Matties ga Jarda with what we've seen 1494 01:20:47.359 --> 01:20:51.000 from him. In the middle, Stephen Hurlock with his time, 1495 01:20:51.279 --> 01:20:53.520 Ashton Gordon with what we've seen from him. You've got 1496 01:20:53.520 --> 01:20:57.159 Hadley with the academy, Jacob Williams hobby armist, Caden Moore, 1497 01:20:57.239 --> 01:21:00.039 kareem To Mimi Jaden Hibbert in Nett who is a 1498 01:21:00.279 --> 01:21:03.359 story in and of himself. So how many dudes, did 1499 01:21:03.359 --> 01:21:07.800 we just name off in like thirty seconds, like eighteen, Yeah, 1500 01:21:07.880 --> 01:21:13.399 and so to have those players interacting and a part 1501 01:21:13.479 --> 01:21:16.840 of the first team practice schedule. That's why as a 1502 01:21:16.880 --> 01:21:19.000 part of being with the first team guys getting those 1503 01:21:19.000 --> 01:21:26.359 extra practices. I want to see how these dudes interact 1504 01:21:26.359 --> 01:21:29.399 with that group. So that's why I'm looking for more practices. 1505 01:21:29.840 --> 01:21:31.479 Even if at the end of you know, even at 1506 01:21:31.520 --> 01:21:33.039 the end of the day you get in as a nine, 1507 01:21:33.079 --> 01:21:36.640 you're playing an eight, you still get extra reps with 1508 01:21:36.840 --> 01:21:39.439 everybody who's here. So Bart, I guess that was my 1509 01:21:39.680 --> 01:21:42.520 larger point. David, I know that you and I will 1510 01:21:42.520 --> 01:21:46.880 disagree on Ronald Hernandez completely. I would go and read 1511 01:21:47.560 --> 01:21:50.119 the article that was done at Soccer down here Dutnet 1512 01:21:50.199 --> 01:21:54.199 about Ronald Hernandez. Then I know we'll disagree about Ronald 1513 01:21:54.760 --> 01:21:57.880 Luisa Bram. David wants to free up international spots, Morales 1514 01:21:57.880 --> 01:22:00.159 Cobb Edwards serve as debt free up international spots. More 1515 01:22:00.159 --> 01:22:01.039 of a difference makes up. 1516 01:22:01.119 --> 01:22:01.479 See. 1517 01:22:01.880 --> 01:22:05.760 So that's why we ran through that list of a 1518 01:22:05.800 --> 01:22:08.840 lot of dudes who are in the pipeline and are 1519 01:22:08.840 --> 01:22:11.079 common I want to see how they interact with the 1520 01:22:11.079 --> 01:22:13.840 first team. I mean, go back to behind the stripes 1521 01:22:15.000 --> 01:22:18.960 and was it the second episode was the Cincinnati loss? 1522 01:22:19.239 --> 01:22:19.479 Yep? 1523 01:22:19.720 --> 01:22:22.680 Who was it that spoke up Dax and Noah Cobb? Yep, 1524 01:22:24.199 --> 01:22:27.760 that's what you're staring at. H. So that's what I'm 1525 01:22:27.800 --> 01:22:30.600 looking at with these extra reps and these extra practices. 1526 01:22:30.680 --> 01:22:33.199 Get me in is a nine and show me what 1527 01:22:33.279 --> 01:22:37.520 you can do. I want those extra reps period. That's why. 1528 01:22:38.439 --> 01:22:38.760 Yeah. 1529 01:22:38.800 --> 01:22:41.640 And it's like I said, does that make sense? 1530 01:22:41.680 --> 01:22:42.680 Did that make any sense? 1531 01:22:42.920 --> 01:22:42.960 No? 1532 01:22:43.000 --> 01:22:46.279 One hundred percent. And I think, you know, I think 1533 01:22:46.279 --> 01:22:48.680 the argument is always going to be, well, they've had 1534 01:22:48.720 --> 01:22:50.640 all season, which I get, but at the end of 1535 01:22:50.640 --> 01:22:53.920 the day, like all those guys that you named, they 1536 01:22:53.960 --> 01:22:58.520 can't have enough reps, especially the ones that have done 1537 01:22:58.600 --> 01:23:01.720 so well when this year, which is really all of them, 1538 01:23:01.800 --> 01:23:05.159 if if we're being honest, I mean, there really isn't 1539 01:23:05.239 --> 01:23:09.600 a guy with the twos that has come up and 1540 01:23:09.640 --> 01:23:12.479 put in first teen minutes that hasn't done pretty well. 1541 01:23:12.600 --> 01:23:16.560 Go to the Open Cup game against Charleston, Yeah, shining example, 1542 01:23:16.640 --> 01:23:19.079 Go watch that and that rotated side that was in 1543 01:23:19.119 --> 01:23:21.239 there the gut the win in Charleston in a gut 1544 01:23:21.359 --> 01:23:21.920 check game. 1545 01:23:22.920 --> 01:23:24.479 All the names that were attached to that win. 1546 01:23:25.199 --> 01:23:29.720 Yeah, absolutely, and you know that was an interesting one 1547 01:23:30.239 --> 01:23:32.239 as well. But I remember I was, uh because I 1548 01:23:32.279 --> 01:23:35.199 was actually there getting destroyed by the sand. 1549 01:23:35.039 --> 01:23:36.880 Natural yes, and the sun. 1550 01:23:37.000 --> 01:23:41.079 Yeah yeah, but Jay Fortune was injured at the time 1551 01:23:41.079 --> 01:23:43.079 and he was sitting right in front of me, and uh, 1552 01:23:44.079 --> 01:23:47.760 the relationship in the chemistry that he had, you know, 1553 01:23:47.840 --> 01:23:50.560 cheering on the guys that he's put in time with 1554 01:23:50.560 --> 01:23:57.000 with the twos and just being around that group was refreshing. 1555 01:23:58.000 --> 01:24:00.439 And that it's just it's another thing, and going back 1556 01:24:00.439 --> 01:24:01.840 to what we talked about earlier, it is something that 1557 01:24:01.840 --> 01:24:03.560 you have to see. You have to see that kind 1558 01:24:03.600 --> 01:24:06.199 of camaraderie that I don't think you see a lot 1559 01:24:06.199 --> 01:24:08.920 of with a lot of the folks on the first team. 1560 01:24:09.439 --> 01:24:12.079 Not that that has anything to do with the training 1561 01:24:12.119 --> 01:24:14.439 reps or anything, but I just think it's another example 1562 01:24:14.520 --> 01:24:20.600 of the folks coming up through the system are really 1563 01:24:20.640 --> 01:24:23.359 on the right path, and right now the first team 1564 01:24:23.439 --> 01:24:26.439 is just really struggling with what feels like a broken 1565 01:24:26.479 --> 01:24:29.359 system and it has to be fixed. 1566 01:24:30.960 --> 01:24:33.520 Then Bart's like, got it. So we need extra reps 1567 01:24:33.520 --> 01:24:35.520 for all the players who aren't actually on the team. 1568 01:24:35.600 --> 01:24:37.600 So the first team players who've proven they're not good enough, 1569 01:24:37.640 --> 01:24:41.520 can pretend they've achieved a goal of the playoffs. Bart's 1570 01:24:41.560 --> 01:24:45.960 on fire this morning. I would look play until you 1571 01:24:46.000 --> 01:24:49.239 can't play anymore. If that means that you don't get 1572 01:24:49.239 --> 01:24:51.760 into a postseason, you've done what you've done, you don't 1573 01:24:51.800 --> 01:24:53.600 get in, you don't get in. You play until you 1574 01:24:53.600 --> 01:24:55.479 don't play anymore. If it means you get in and 1575 01:24:55.520 --> 01:24:57.760 the math works, you're nine, you get in, you find 1576 01:24:57.760 --> 01:24:59.920 out what happens there. Just playing until you don't play anymore, 1577 01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:01.920 That's what I'm looking at. 1578 01:25:02.039 --> 01:25:07.000 And I mean, I think Garth is a smart enough 1579 01:25:07.039 --> 01:25:11.159 guy to look at it. If if the scenario plays 1580 01:25:11.199 --> 01:25:13.920 out where suddenly you make it to the playoffs after 1581 01:25:13.960 --> 01:25:21.119 these last two games, regardless of who plays, I think 1582 01:25:21.600 --> 01:25:23.840 Garth is smart enough to just look at the overall 1583 01:25:23.840 --> 01:25:28.479 season and say, all right, well, you know, the young guys, 1584 01:25:29.039 --> 01:25:31.119 every time they were out on the field, they were hungry, 1585 01:25:31.159 --> 01:25:33.560 They left it all out there, and they did everything 1586 01:25:33.600 --> 01:25:37.399 they had to do mistakes, which is fine, but they 1587 01:25:38.319 --> 01:25:41.439 they played far beyond their years and they did really well. 1588 01:25:41.800 --> 01:25:43.000 And I think you can look at some of the 1589 01:25:43.000 --> 01:25:45.600 players that are consistently getting time with the first team 1590 01:25:45.640 --> 01:25:51.920 and you say all right, well where was the effectiveness? 1591 01:25:51.960 --> 01:25:56.920 And where were you when we had five must win 1592 01:25:57.000 --> 01:25:59.479 games near the end of the season, Like, why was 1593 01:25:59.520 --> 01:26:03.920 the the effectiveness not there? You know? I just think again, 1594 01:26:03.960 --> 01:26:06.600 it's a report card and you're looking at individual players, 1595 01:26:06.640 --> 01:26:09.720 and I just I think Garth is smart enough to 1596 01:26:09.720 --> 01:26:12.239 look and say, all right, well yeah, just because they 1597 01:26:12.920 --> 01:26:18.760 squeaked in. If they do, there are thirty four games 1598 01:26:18.800 --> 01:26:20.800 overall that we have to look at and say, well, 1599 01:26:20.880 --> 01:26:23.399 this was this was how it all played out. Ultimately, 1600 01:26:23.399 --> 01:26:25.880 it is not going to come down to the two games. 1601 01:26:26.119 --> 01:26:26.279 Hi. 1602 01:26:26.439 --> 01:26:32.640 Jared thy Cholcome Tyler and I are discussing the idea 1603 01:26:32.680 --> 01:26:35.479 of playing until you can't places the more and if 1604 01:26:35.520 --> 01:26:38.880 it turns into the idea of getting a lot of 1605 01:26:38.920 --> 01:26:41.600 the folks that we've seen, either at the academy level 1606 01:26:41.680 --> 01:26:43.680 or at the twos level, getting them to continue to 1607 01:26:43.720 --> 01:26:46.000 interact with the first team players and see where things 1608 01:26:46.039 --> 01:26:49.199 stand with them, I'm all for it. And I literally 1609 01:26:49.279 --> 01:26:52.319 ran through the list of all of the dudes that 1610 01:26:52.359 --> 01:26:55.560 have gotten major minutes this year with it landa United 1611 01:26:55.600 --> 01:26:57.880 too as a part of this whole process to see 1612 01:26:57.880 --> 01:26:59.680 them and how they interact with first team guys that 1613 01:26:59.680 --> 01:27:01.000 are going to be around next season. 1614 01:27:02.560 --> 01:27:04.319 Look, there's a lot of decisions they gotta get made 1615 01:27:04.359 --> 01:27:04.600 on that. 1616 01:27:04.560 --> 01:27:06.239 Front, no doubt. 1617 01:27:06.479 --> 01:27:09.159 You got a lot of the guys who were brought 1618 01:27:09.159 --> 01:27:11.279 in on the twos are on like one year deals 1619 01:27:11.720 --> 01:27:15.880 like Noble Killow on your deal. How the armis play 1620 01:27:16.239 --> 01:27:19.720 every dayn minute. The twos, you got decisions to make them, 1621 01:27:19.760 --> 01:27:21.840 and you have decision to make for the first team. 1622 01:27:22.439 --> 01:27:26.199 Like I said yesterday though man like, at the risk 1623 01:27:26.239 --> 01:27:28.800 of it sounding too dramatic, because I don't mean it 1624 01:27:28.840 --> 01:27:30.560 too even though I don't know how to make it 1625 01:27:30.600 --> 01:27:36.199 not sound dramatic, right, if you can't come out into 1626 01:27:36.239 --> 01:27:39.880 this game tomorrow night with your hair on fire, with 1627 01:27:40.560 --> 01:27:44.000 you know, basically like Billy at the beginning of the 1628 01:27:44.039 --> 01:27:47.319 third Active Predator where he stands on the log he 1629 01:27:47.399 --> 01:27:51.000 cuts his chest open and waits for the predator. If 1630 01:27:51.000 --> 01:27:55.159 you can't come out there like that, you're making my 1631 01:27:55.319 --> 01:27:58.560 decisions a little bit easier when it comes to off 1632 01:27:58.600 --> 01:28:01.560 season roster decisions. Because no Garth had said when gets 1633 01:28:01.560 --> 01:28:02.880 out up the night that was fired, that you know, 1634 01:28:02.920 --> 01:28:05.399 everybody's jobs on the table. Obviously we saw that with 1635 01:28:06.920 --> 01:28:11.880 Carlos spokanegra being LetGo as well, I'm sure it goes 1636 01:28:11.880 --> 01:28:17.199 deep in the organization, but that should go for players 1637 01:28:17.239 --> 01:28:20.680 as well. There's a world market for the sport. And 1638 01:28:21.159 --> 01:28:24.720 if you don't fight for the badge, I will find 1639 01:28:24.720 --> 01:28:31.039 someone who will. So show me something tomorrow night, and 1640 01:28:31.159 --> 01:28:35.199 show me what you got against a rival. And buddy, 1641 01:28:35.239 --> 01:28:36.159 it's always a rival. 1642 01:28:38.720 --> 01:28:44.760 And uh, Bart getting okay and so and Jared, I'll 1643 01:28:44.800 --> 01:28:46.760 let you tackle this when Bart says it's worth noting 1644 01:28:46.800 --> 01:28:49.520 the two is finished thirteenth to fifteenth in the Eastern 1645 01:28:49.680 --> 01:28:53.880 MLS next pro correct, But okay. 1646 01:28:54.439 --> 01:28:57.520 They they weren't good enough. Like you call whatever you want, 1647 01:28:57.600 --> 01:28:59.880 you can you can phrase it however you want. They weren't. 1648 01:29:00.439 --> 01:29:02.520 They dropped points when they shouldn't have. You know, you 1649 01:29:02.520 --> 01:29:04.520 go back to go back to the Orlando game. But 1650 01:29:04.680 --> 01:29:06.560 they up a goal, up a man, gave up two 1651 01:29:06.560 --> 01:29:10.359 goals while up the man in ten minutes. They weren't 1652 01:29:10.359 --> 01:29:15.239 good enough. There are talented players on that team, hobby armists. 1653 01:29:15.720 --> 01:29:17.600 Bobby Armis don't have a damn good career for himself. 1654 01:29:17.640 --> 01:29:19.319 I don't know IF's MLS. I don't know if he's 1655 01:29:19.399 --> 01:29:24.239 fast enough, like foot feet fast enough for MLS. 1656 01:29:24.359 --> 01:29:29.399 Dan Dale, see he's Jared is staring at flora and fauna. 1657 01:29:29.079 --> 01:29:33.119 Here as he's he's becoming one with a bird happy place. 1658 01:29:33.439 --> 01:29:37.439 A bird landed above my head. I can't do anything 1659 01:29:37.439 --> 01:29:41.199 about that, But like I don't know where Hobby plays, Yeah, Hobby, 1660 01:29:41.239 --> 01:29:45.479 Hobby don't play somewhere though, But you you have talented 1661 01:29:45.479 --> 01:29:48.880 players there, like Mary is a hell of a lottery 1662 01:29:48.880 --> 01:29:51.039 ticket to pick up, and you picked him up halfway 1663 01:29:51.159 --> 01:29:55.760 this season, but it didn't come together until too late 1664 01:29:55.800 --> 01:29:58.760 in the season. Then since second season you've done that. 1665 01:29:58.800 --> 01:30:00.520 So what do you do to fix it? M hm? 1666 01:30:00.760 --> 01:30:02.880 And I know it's tough because guys are training with 1667 01:30:02.880 --> 01:30:05.720 the first team. There's very little consistency into his training 1668 01:30:06.119 --> 01:30:09.119 because guys are getting pulled into national team duty. They're 1669 01:30:09.159 --> 01:30:12.479 getting pulled into when they're academy guys tournaments around god 1670 01:30:12.520 --> 01:30:15.880 knows where. Some of them are training with the first team, 1671 01:30:16.239 --> 01:30:20.039 like we saw it like last year when j before 1672 01:30:20.119 --> 01:30:22.560 j Fortune was trying to make himself a staple in 1673 01:30:22.680 --> 01:30:25.199 the first team. Last year, he was training with the 1674 01:30:25.199 --> 01:30:27.840 first team consistently, and he's going to be training with 1675 01:30:27.880 --> 01:30:31.399 the first team like this is a chance for them 1676 01:30:31.399 --> 01:30:33.600 to show what they got. Is tough, but they got 1677 01:30:33.600 --> 01:30:38.079 to figure out something. Yeah, we've seen similar to the 1678 01:30:38.079 --> 01:30:42.760 first team, that identical that I wouldn't be as disappointed 1679 01:30:42.760 --> 01:30:47.800 if I wasn't sure that there's better in there, because 1680 01:30:47.800 --> 01:30:50.720 they've shown it. So you got to figure it out 1681 01:30:50.800 --> 01:30:53.119 for this year, this upcoming year with the two's how 1682 01:30:53.199 --> 01:30:57.119 you want to balance that and be consistently good and 1683 01:30:57.159 --> 01:30:59.159 not have to have these really good runs at the 1684 01:30:59.199 --> 01:30:59.680 end of the feat. 1685 01:31:00.119 --> 01:31:03.399 Yep, all right, So let's turn to Red Bulls. 1686 01:31:03.399 --> 01:31:05.560 It was announced by the team just half a second 1687 01:31:05.560 --> 01:31:09.239 ago that Lower Bowl forty two thousand sold out for 1688 01:31:09.319 --> 01:31:12.119 the last match of the year on a Saturday. Shows 1689 01:31:12.159 --> 01:31:16.279 you how many folks also will be keeping an eye. 1690 01:31:16.319 --> 01:31:19.800 They'll be tailgating watching what's going on in Athens, not 1691 01:31:19.880 --> 01:31:23.479 necessarily going because it's probably going to be blowout city and. 1692 01:31:24.640 --> 01:31:26.079 There's gonna be a snuff film. Man. 1693 01:31:28.840 --> 01:31:30.079 Yeah, the boss isn't going. 1694 01:31:30.399 --> 01:31:33.079 Peyton Thorn is. Peyton Thorn is going to need to 1695 01:31:33.079 --> 01:31:38.000 go onto wits protection, mostly mostly from Freeze, so Freeze 1696 01:31:38.000 --> 01:31:39.479 hasn't throw him under a bus again. 1697 01:31:39.840 --> 01:31:41.720 But yeah, give it time, give him another week or so, 1698 01:31:43.359 --> 01:31:44.359 he'll he'll find a way. 1699 01:31:44.920 --> 01:31:47.800 Uh. When you look at Red Bulls, this is a 1700 01:31:48.439 --> 01:31:51.680 this is still Tyler, very red bullsy in but with 1701 01:31:51.720 --> 01:31:56.279 a twist, so it's not quite your older Brothers Red 1702 01:31:56.279 --> 01:32:00.760 Bulls team, but with a healthy er emial Fourburg coming 1703 01:32:00.800 --> 01:32:04.520 back got some minutes last time out. I am intrigued 1704 01:32:04.560 --> 01:32:07.319 to see which version of the Red Bulls we get 1705 01:32:07.319 --> 01:32:09.600 and if Atlanta United just sits there and turns it 1706 01:32:09.640 --> 01:32:11.560 into like it was in the playoffs at Red Bull Arena, 1707 01:32:11.640 --> 01:32:14.920 tell you what you can have it and you guys work. 1708 01:32:14.760 --> 01:32:16.760 From the back. I want to see how this plays out. 1709 01:32:18.359 --> 01:32:22.960 Yeah, I think this is where it gets really easy 1710 01:32:23.000 --> 01:32:26.079 to talk about the tactics between the two teams, right 1711 01:32:26.159 --> 01:32:32.960 because I think fans are looking for more of an 1712 01:32:33.000 --> 01:32:36.159 internal conversation about the players, kind of like what we've 1713 01:32:36.199 --> 01:32:38.319 been talking about. What are you going to show me? 1714 01:32:38.800 --> 01:32:41.319 What are you going to show out on the pitch 1715 01:32:41.800 --> 01:32:44.720 when you're wearing this shirt against a team that we 1716 01:32:44.800 --> 01:32:49.359 hate and have consistently hated, And one could argue is 1717 01:32:49.880 --> 01:32:56.800 Atlanta's first real rival. Go win the game, like come 1718 01:32:56.880 --> 01:33:00.159 hell or high water. Doesn't matter what the Rebels do. 1719 01:33:00.399 --> 01:33:02.560 It doesn't matter if they come out and press you high. Yeah, 1720 01:33:02.560 --> 01:33:05.399 if you've got to sit back and and and you know, 1721 01:33:05.560 --> 01:33:08.159 play some shenanigans or whatever, do what you got to 1722 01:33:08.199 --> 01:33:13.239 do to make some tweaks. But ultimately, the eleven players 1723 01:33:13.279 --> 01:33:16.399 that Rob picks to be out there on the opening whistle. 1724 01:33:17.640 --> 01:33:20.399 They need to put on a show for everybody in 1725 01:33:20.439 --> 01:33:22.399 the bins and for goth loger way. 1726 01:33:23.119 --> 01:33:28.239 Mm hmm, I'm i'm I'm I am intrigued Jared as 1727 01:33:28.279 --> 01:33:31.560 to what this looks like coming out of the blocks 1728 01:33:31.840 --> 01:33:35.439 for UH, for Atlanta Nighted going up against Red Bulls 1729 01:33:35.640 --> 01:33:38.640 in a in a in a math nasium that is 1730 01:33:38.680 --> 01:33:42.079 going to be the playoffs between now and uh, you know, 1731 01:33:42.159 --> 01:33:46.119 two weeks from now, because remember it is this weekend 1732 01:33:46.520 --> 01:33:49.159 international break where we all get to gnash our teeth 1733 01:33:49.640 --> 01:33:52.479 and twiddle our thumbs and do math and all these 1734 01:33:52.560 --> 01:33:55.199 kinds of things during an international window and then get 1735 01:33:55.199 --> 01:33:56.920 ready for a decision day and find out who's going 1736 01:33:56.960 --> 01:33:59.359 to be doing what I am intrigued to see A 1737 01:33:59.479 --> 01:34:02.920 with the lineup looks like and b uh, they better 1738 01:34:02.920 --> 01:34:05.279 come out with their proverbial hair on fire in this. 1739 01:34:06.159 --> 01:34:08.840 In this gotta have three point situation. 1740 01:34:08.920 --> 01:34:11.039 You're gonna know something going into the window. This will 1741 01:34:11.039 --> 01:34:13.960 be It's interesting that we schedule breaks here because after 1742 01:34:14.000 --> 01:34:15.720 this hame you the window. You have a bit of 1743 01:34:15.720 --> 01:34:19.079 a break. You're gonna have some time to think on 1744 01:34:19.279 --> 01:34:19.760 some ship. 1745 01:34:20.119 --> 01:34:23.039 Mm hmm. There's the explicit rating for. 1746 01:34:23.000 --> 01:34:26.479 The morning what you are because if you don't get 1747 01:34:26.479 --> 01:34:27.800 it done Saturday. 1748 01:34:27.600 --> 01:34:29.199 Yeah, that's it. 1749 01:34:30.479 --> 01:34:33.039 That's it. You don't get three points. If you don't 1750 01:34:33.039 --> 01:34:35.399 get three points, probably with some room despair for comfort, 1751 01:34:35.520 --> 01:34:39.039 like multi goal wind kind of thing. You're done. 1752 01:34:40.039 --> 01:34:42.159 Do not pass, go, do not collect two hundred dollars, 1753 01:34:42.199 --> 01:34:43.039 do not go to the boos. 1754 01:34:43.319 --> 01:34:45.159 Then then what does the last game look like? 1755 01:34:45.680 --> 01:34:46.000 Is it? 1756 01:34:47.640 --> 01:34:50.119 You know? Is it? Hey, couple of kids, show me 1757 01:34:50.119 --> 01:34:52.199 what you got? Is people, we are out of the race. 1758 01:34:52.199 --> 01:34:54.319 We're out of the race. Show me what you've got, 1759 01:34:54.720 --> 01:34:57.960 Guys who are on the bubble, show me what you 1760 01:34:58.039 --> 01:35:03.520 have got. How it looks for Saturday? No, I mean 1761 01:35:03.720 --> 01:35:06.680 it's the off points like it. I don't know what 1762 01:35:06.720 --> 01:35:08.760 it's gonna look like. I mean, yeah, like red bulls 1763 01:35:08.800 --> 01:35:10.640 can't come out press you. Red bulls trying to try 1764 01:35:10.680 --> 01:35:13.520 and solidify themselves too, trying to make sure they're in 1765 01:35:13.560 --> 01:35:16.119 a good spot because even if you're in the playoffs, 1766 01:35:16.119 --> 01:35:17.840 as we saw last year, it's not just about getting 1767 01:35:17.840 --> 01:35:20.439 into the dance like if you're in a situation like Atlanta, yeah, 1768 01:35:20.439 --> 01:35:22.520 you just want to get in. Yeah, if you're in, 1769 01:35:22.840 --> 01:35:28.800 you're trying to position yourself in a way that you 1770 01:35:28.840 --> 01:35:30.800 don't want. For instance, you don't want to be in Atlanta. 1771 01:35:30.840 --> 01:35:33.359 Spot last year, we'll have to play a first round three, 1772 01:35:33.439 --> 01:35:35.399 best of three against Columbus. Hell tho, I don't want 1773 01:35:35.399 --> 01:35:38.600 to do that. So those teams who are in have 1774 01:35:38.680 --> 01:35:41.840 to figure out where are they in or if they 1775 01:35:41.880 --> 01:35:45.840 can get in, and you just do what you can. 1776 01:35:46.439 --> 01:35:50.000 But you know, we'll see, we'll see what it all 1777 01:35:50.039 --> 01:35:54.000 looks like. I don't know what. I don't know what 1778 01:35:54.079 --> 01:35:58.119 Saturday night looks like for Atlanta other than yeah, you're 1779 01:35:58.800 --> 01:36:02.840 red Bulls might force you to play long, Okay, if 1780 01:36:02.920 --> 01:36:05.199 Jamal can give you forty five minutes, right, because then 1781 01:36:05.199 --> 01:36:06.760 I can bring Jamal on the second half in the 1782 01:36:06.800 --> 01:36:11.079 fifty fifth minute and tell him go chase, Yeah, just 1783 01:36:11.079 --> 01:36:12.960 play fetch, or I can start the game. If you 1784 01:36:12.960 --> 01:36:14.479 can give me forty five minutes to start the game, 1785 01:36:14.840 --> 01:36:21.159 fetch and play long or have Rios try and win those. 1786 01:36:21.159 --> 01:36:23.600 A couple of times in that game against Montreal, Rio's 1787 01:36:23.840 --> 01:36:27.279 won the long ball didn't always make the best decision 1788 01:36:27.359 --> 01:36:29.760 with it. The one that kills me is the second 1789 01:36:29.760 --> 01:36:32.239 half where he's or the first half use me where 1790 01:36:32.239 --> 01:36:35.000 he is going down the on a one v two 1791 01:36:35.039 --> 01:36:37.520 and doesn't play soba in on the right side like 1792 01:36:37.640 --> 01:36:38.159 Tyler is. 1793 01:36:38.279 --> 01:36:38.680 Just like. 1794 01:36:40.600 --> 01:36:45.920 Tyler's already tweeted in capital letters right when it happened. 1795 01:36:46.479 --> 01:36:50.760 Yeah, it was. It was a lot and Saba didn't 1796 01:36:50.760 --> 01:36:53.279 have a great night. But also he is your guy 1797 01:36:53.760 --> 01:36:56.960 right now as you are constructed, and you kind of 1798 01:36:57.000 --> 01:37:01.000 have to you you have to feed him even when 1799 01:37:01.239 --> 01:37:04.960 even when like he is flipping the spoon like and 1800 01:37:04.960 --> 01:37:08.760 and not always hitting the target. This this is monta 1801 01:37:08.760 --> 01:37:13.760 Ella's territory. You gotta let him shoot. He is, he's 1802 01:37:14.039 --> 01:37:15.880 he's killing full j R. Smith. You just gotta let 1803 01:37:15.920 --> 01:37:17.640 him shoot. Steve can get the microwake going. 1804 01:37:18.439 --> 01:37:20.039 Yo yoansn coming off the bench. 1805 01:37:20.760 --> 01:37:25.439 Oh man, I'm like, like, I don't know, like uh 1806 01:37:25.560 --> 01:37:29.159 Waiters when he was Waiters just jacking up the three 1807 01:37:29.199 --> 01:37:37.359 es lehing right, just with absolutely zero conscience. But you know, 1808 01:37:38.159 --> 01:37:40.039 you might have to play like that at times, might 1809 01:37:40.079 --> 01:37:43.159 not be pretty, but you you less style in the 1810 01:37:43.159 --> 01:37:45.359 window in the rear view mirror A long time ago, 1811 01:37:45.399 --> 01:37:48.840 at this point styles over the horizon. Yep. So what 1812 01:37:48.920 --> 01:37:52.000 you do then is can you show me some baults? 1813 01:37:52.399 --> 01:37:54.399 Red bulls will get stuck? Can you get stuck in? 1814 01:37:54.760 --> 01:37:58.159 Red bulls will get stuck in? Can you get stuck in? 1815 01:37:58.760 --> 01:38:01.600 Stand over somebody and ask them and their mom if 1816 01:38:01.600 --> 01:38:04.640 they want to make something about it? Yeah? What you got? 1817 01:38:04.960 --> 01:38:07.439 Yeah? So what do you? What do you and your 1818 01:38:07.439 --> 01:38:08.760 mama have to say about this one? 1819 01:38:09.000 --> 01:38:11.399 And to Anthony's you know, too much work to be 1820 01:38:11.399 --> 01:38:12.640 done for a lot of these players are worry about 1821 01:38:12.680 --> 01:38:14.399 the roles. I think some of you got to worry 1822 01:38:14.399 --> 01:38:17.960 about your future. We talk about this in the NFL 1823 01:38:18.039 --> 01:38:21.880 when like somebody when when the team is like four 1824 01:38:22.159 --> 01:38:28.720 and five, stare at you. Jacksonville guys got to play 1825 01:38:28.720 --> 01:38:31.880 for their futures. Like, yeah, they they might not be 1826 01:38:31.920 --> 01:38:35.720 making the playoffs, but if there are an option year 1827 01:38:36.600 --> 01:38:42.680 or if they're maybe a target for movement, they got 1828 01:38:42.680 --> 01:38:46.399 to play for their futures. They can't just completely phone 1829 01:38:46.399 --> 01:38:49.119 it in and folks will notice it and folks will 1830 01:38:49.159 --> 01:38:52.279 see it. You can't escape especially these days. Man. But 1831 01:38:52.479 --> 01:38:56.640 like every I got cameras everywhere. We're tracking data. We're 1832 01:38:56.720 --> 01:38:59.119 tracking your fitness, We're tracking how much you run. We're due, 1833 01:38:59.119 --> 01:39:01.039 they're they're tracking how much your urb on the field. 1834 01:39:01.279 --> 01:39:05.119 M h, guys, I've got to go out there and 1835 01:39:05.159 --> 01:39:09.119 you got to absolutely bust your ass and you've got 1836 01:39:09.119 --> 01:39:11.560 to show people something that you either deserve to be 1837 01:39:11.720 --> 01:39:15.119 part of, you know, what is going to be hopefully 1838 01:39:15.159 --> 01:39:20.119 built starting in the off season, or if I can 1839 01:39:20.159 --> 01:39:22.079 make other decisions that don't include you. 1840 01:39:22.479 --> 01:39:25.239 Yeah, and that's and that's why you know, even if 1841 01:39:25.279 --> 01:39:29.880 the players are if to your point, Anthony, they got 1842 01:39:29.920 --> 01:39:31.920 to think about themselves either here or they got to 1843 01:39:31.920 --> 01:39:34.880 think about themselves someplace else. And if you go out 1844 01:39:34.880 --> 01:39:37.560 and you just Christmas Tree, what happens in whatever minutes 1845 01:39:37.560 --> 01:39:39.600 you're given in the final two matches of this season, 1846 01:39:41.119 --> 01:39:43.640 then you know that will affect you. That will affect 1847 01:39:43.680 --> 01:39:46.399 you and your location next year if it is not here. 1848 01:39:46.560 --> 01:39:50.119 So that's uh so that's what we're staring at. Okay, 1849 01:39:51.479 --> 01:39:54.079 time to play Cliffhanger, guys. Uh let me go through 1850 01:39:54.079 --> 01:39:56.239 the standings really quickly in the East. But we're gonna 1851 01:39:56.239 --> 01:39:58.840 go Cliffhanger with all the other matchups in and around. 1852 01:39:58.920 --> 01:40:01.840 What's going on, MESSI and friends of Clinch. They're eleven 1853 01:40:01.880 --> 01:40:04.439 points clear. Columbus has three matches to go. They can 1854 01:40:04.479 --> 01:40:08.880 only max out at three nine sixty six, so they 1855 01:40:08.880 --> 01:40:12.600 can't catch them. Columbus at fifty seven FC Cincinnati and 1856 01:40:12.640 --> 01:40:15.600 all of their issues at the back two matches to go. 1857 01:40:15.640 --> 01:40:17.159 There at fifty six Orlando. 1858 01:40:17.239 --> 01:40:20.760 If they beat Cincinnati this weekend, the game next weekend 1859 01:40:20.800 --> 01:40:24.199 won't matter because they can't catch Sincy and NYC and 1860 01:40:24.239 --> 01:40:27.079 Red Bulls can't catch them. So if you're the purple team, 1861 01:40:27.119 --> 01:40:29.159 you want to try and win this one, so the 1862 01:40:29.159 --> 01:40:32.159 one in two weeks doesn't matter. NYC and Red Bulls 1863 01:40:32.359 --> 01:40:36.439 both at thirty two matches played. Ny CFC has thirteen 1864 01:40:36.479 --> 01:40:40.439 wins and Red Bulls only have eleven. Charlotte's in at 1865 01:40:40.439 --> 01:40:43.880 forty five, they are thirty two matches in two to go. 1866 01:40:44.399 --> 01:40:47.840 They can play anywhere from seven to four, depending on 1867 01:40:47.880 --> 01:40:50.640 how things go. Montreal with the win ten, twelve and ten, 1868 01:40:51.000 --> 01:40:55.039 they're at forty. Then the fun begins. Toronto eleven wins, 1869 01:40:55.039 --> 01:40:58.880 thirty seven points, Philadelphia same record as DC and a 1870 01:40:59.039 --> 01:41:02.960 twenty five goal advantage in goal difference plus nine to 1871 01:41:03.000 --> 01:41:06.960 minus sixteen. Atlanta's at thirty four, Nashal's at thirty three, 1872 01:41:07.199 --> 01:41:09.720 New England's at thirty one. They need to win out 1873 01:41:09.720 --> 01:41:11.720 with their three matches to finish at forty, and they 1874 01:41:11.760 --> 01:41:15.439 need everybody else to lose everything else Chicago the dumpster fire. 1875 01:41:15.960 --> 01:41:18.000 They're done at thirty points, and then you've got everything 1876 01:41:18.039 --> 01:41:19.680 going on in the West, all right, So let's go 1877 01:41:19.760 --> 01:41:23.199 juice boxes here and play Cliffhanger. If there's a match 1878 01:41:23.279 --> 01:41:26.800 that you want to talk about, just literally jump in 1879 01:41:26.800 --> 01:41:28.680 and start talking about it, and we'll talk about it. 1880 01:41:28.720 --> 01:41:31.640 Because that's how this goes, Because if there's a match 1881 01:41:32.199 --> 01:41:34.119 and it draws your interest, then we'll talk about it, 1882 01:41:34.159 --> 01:41:36.800 all right. So and because our friends of Odds Portal 1883 01:41:36.840 --> 01:41:38.920 do things alphabetically, I have to go all the way 1884 01:41:38.920 --> 01:41:41.399 down to the letter you and click on a button. 1885 01:41:41.439 --> 01:41:41.800 All right. 1886 01:41:43.680 --> 01:41:49.359 Four o'clock in the afternoon, Toronto hosting Messi and Friends 1887 01:41:49.439 --> 01:41:53.159 as a home favorite at Bemoca. They because Messi and 1888 01:41:53.199 --> 01:41:58.359 Friends have clinched the number one seed. But for Messi 1889 01:41:58.439 --> 01:42:02.520 and Friends, the Tata Martine probably chasing after a points record, 1890 01:42:02.680 --> 01:42:05.199 So the fact that they are a plus one sixty five. 1891 01:42:05.159 --> 01:42:08.640 Dog on the road might be the one to take. 1892 01:42:08.680 --> 01:42:11.039 With Toronto FC at a plus one thirty eight, gentlemen, 1893 01:42:11.119 --> 01:42:12.439 what say you, tyler go. 1894 01:42:15.279 --> 01:42:19.560 I think they're gonna rest every everybody they can. That's 1895 01:42:20.840 --> 01:42:25.560 you know, geriatric FC. So they've done everything they have 1896 01:42:25.600 --> 01:42:27.520 to do right now, you don't want to you don't 1897 01:42:27.520 --> 01:42:29.119 want to take too much of a break because we 1898 01:42:29.199 --> 01:42:31.720 see how that goes typically, right like a team gets 1899 01:42:31.760 --> 01:42:33.199 a bye going into the playoffs and all of a 1900 01:42:33.199 --> 01:42:37.239 sudden they forget how to play football. But you have, 1901 01:42:37.880 --> 01:42:40.119 you have guys on that team that have been playing 1902 01:42:40.119 --> 01:42:41.439 for a long time. They haven't forgot how to play 1903 01:42:41.439 --> 01:42:43.399 football yet. So I think you can afford to rest them, 1904 01:42:43.439 --> 01:42:46.239 make sure they're all set and ready to go, because 1905 01:42:47.399 --> 01:42:49.039 you know, I know the supporter Shiel is great, and 1906 01:42:49.039 --> 01:42:51.399 I know Michael Parker has had the tweet and the 1907 01:42:51.520 --> 01:42:54.760 chat earlier. But like ML's cup is the thing, and 1908 01:42:56.119 --> 01:42:59.000 Tata has been there before, He's been in a very 1909 01:42:59.000 --> 01:43:02.479 similar position, so he knows kind of how to uh 1910 01:43:02.520 --> 01:43:04.920 you know, set his team up. So yeah, very long win. 1911 01:43:04.960 --> 01:43:08.520 A way of saying in Miami, they're gonna they're gonna, 1912 01:43:08.800 --> 01:43:13.359 I think, rightfully, sit back a little bit, take it 1913 01:43:13.399 --> 01:43:18.079 a little easier than normal, and uh, I don't think 1914 01:43:18.079 --> 01:43:22.039 that's gonna be good for Atlanta. If if if you're 1915 01:43:22.079 --> 01:43:27.399 looking at the very small percentage, But I still I 1916 01:43:27.399 --> 01:43:31.560 think I think Toronto is able to come out with 1917 01:43:31.600 --> 01:43:31.840 a win. 1918 01:43:32.399 --> 01:43:33.800 All right, Jared, what do you think? 1919 01:43:35.079 --> 01:43:40.720 I have no idea. The reason I say that everything 1920 01:43:40.760 --> 01:43:45.199 Tyler said I think is accurate true. I also watched 1921 01:43:45.640 --> 01:43:51.039 Toronto Closed as possible to Nick Saban made his ass 1922 01:43:51.119 --> 01:43:55.439 quick Territory the other night in the midweek. You're missing 1923 01:43:55.520 --> 01:43:57.720 one of your key playmakers in this game. 1924 01:43:58.439 --> 01:43:58.560 Uh. 1925 01:43:58.920 --> 01:44:03.600 John Herdman like, stop the bleeding in twenty twenty four 1926 01:44:03.680 --> 01:44:09.880 for Toronto. We don't know how well he actually stitched 1927 01:44:09.880 --> 01:44:12.239 that wind closed though, if it's gonna pop back open 1928 01:44:12.319 --> 01:44:12.520 or not. 1929 01:44:12.760 --> 01:44:16.760 But just as the throne manufacturers in Canada. 1930 01:44:16.479 --> 01:44:22.720 Well it's I don't know. I don't know how they're 1931 01:44:22.720 --> 01:44:27.600 going to put it back together. Just they're they're they 1932 01:44:27.640 --> 01:44:30.479 are wildly inconsistent. They've had some good performances. Some guys 1933 01:44:30.920 --> 01:44:33.560 shout out to Derek Gatty and Junior who's gonna find 1934 01:44:33.600 --> 01:44:36.319 since he got there just was a classic change of 1935 01:44:36.359 --> 01:44:38.720 scenery guy and he got his change of scenery and 1936 01:44:38.760 --> 01:44:46.319 he did well. Miami man like, yeah, they'll probably rest guys. 1937 01:44:46.760 --> 01:44:50.319 Yeah the rest part in the tower mentioned that the 1938 01:44:50.359 --> 01:44:52.920 rest part is weird and part of this is also 1939 01:44:53.000 --> 01:44:55.039 my sha like to my chagrin, would like the whole 1940 01:44:55.079 --> 01:44:57.159 best of three thing, which it can make it fun 1941 01:44:57.199 --> 01:45:01.399 to kind of weird when we do. I prefer it 1942 01:45:01.439 --> 01:45:08.920 to be like, should be that Wednesday, and should be 1943 01:45:09.039 --> 01:45:11.560 Wednesday for strong, should be that next Saturday. That way 1944 01:45:12.359 --> 01:45:15.039 that it should always stay like that forever and ever. Amen, 1945 01:45:15.680 --> 01:45:17.800 because that way, at least the teams that earn a 1946 01:45:18.039 --> 01:45:20.039 buy U one unquote, they get a full weeks break, 1947 01:45:20.319 --> 01:45:23.479 right and the teams that are wild card have to 1948 01:45:23.520 --> 01:45:25.880 go play in the midweek. That way, it doesn't feel 1949 01:45:25.920 --> 01:45:29.079 like an extended break where you can still keep your rhythm, 1950 01:45:29.119 --> 01:45:33.279 your game week rhythm, but you do have an advantage 1951 01:45:33.319 --> 01:45:35.279 in terms of travel and energy. Like you just just 1952 01:45:35.359 --> 01:45:38.840 keep it like that, don't overcomplicate it. I have like 1953 01:45:39.439 --> 01:45:42.920 I'm willing to put like an Ecto cooler juice box 1954 01:45:42.960 --> 01:45:45.439 that MLS is going to change their playoff structure again 1955 01:45:45.439 --> 01:45:47.119 in the next two years. 1956 01:45:46.800 --> 01:45:51.439 Because well because if if you want Apple TV to 1957 01:45:51.439 --> 01:45:54.159 come up with more television episodes for their TV program 1958 01:45:54.239 --> 01:45:57.960 then you're certainly going to do that. If you want 1959 01:45:58.000 --> 01:46:00.439 to draw more eyes to the whole process. 1960 01:46:00.199 --> 01:46:02.239 You're gonna have to change it. In twenty twenty six. 1961 01:46:02.600 --> 01:46:07.039 Uh huh, that's also true. Yes, this is also true. 1962 01:46:07.680 --> 01:46:08.119 We'll save it. 1963 01:46:08.239 --> 01:46:12.000 Landy United in Red Bulls Charlotte, CF Montreal. Charlotte's a 1964 01:46:12.000 --> 01:46:14.399 big minus so to minus one fifty two as CF 1965 01:46:14.439 --> 01:46:17.920 Montreal comes to town. Crewe in Philadelphia, Cruz a minus 1966 01:46:17.920 --> 01:46:22.159 one thirty nine unions of plus three thirteen. Speaking of 1967 01:46:22.239 --> 01:46:24.600 f C Cincinnati, they're a home favored at a minus 1968 01:46:24.600 --> 01:46:26.880 one fourteen Purple teams of plus two to seventy four 1969 01:46:26.920 --> 01:46:27.399 on the road. 1970 01:46:27.760 --> 01:46:28.800 That two seventy four. 1971 01:46:29.000 --> 01:46:31.199 Shoot, I'd take that in a heartbeat, considering what we've 1972 01:46:31.199 --> 01:46:34.880 seen from FC Cincinnati recently. DC United is a plus 1973 01:46:34.880 --> 01:46:36.800 two oh two on the road at the Revs who 1974 01:46:36.840 --> 01:46:42.039 are a plus one seventeen, and NYC is minus one 1975 01:46:42.079 --> 01:46:45.359 eighty nine hosting Nashville a plus four fifty five. That 1976 01:46:45.560 --> 01:46:49.399 is your Eastern Conference stuff at Landy United plus one 1977 01:46:49.479 --> 01:46:51.920 twenty four hosting Red Bulls, who are a plus one 1978 01:46:52.039 --> 01:46:54.520 ninety six, draws a plus two sixty nine. 1979 01:46:54.960 --> 01:46:56.960 Tyler, what's your gut tell you about what they're gonna do? 1980 01:46:57.039 --> 01:46:57.079 It? 1981 01:46:57.199 --> 01:46:58.920 Right back with no Brooks Lennon. 1982 01:47:00.119 --> 01:47:03.920 Ronald, I mean, I think that's that's the plug and 1983 01:47:03.960 --> 01:47:10.319 play option. And I mean he played and did really 1984 01:47:10.319 --> 01:47:14.399 well in that match against Columbus a few months ago. 1985 01:47:16.239 --> 01:47:19.880 You know, anything Rob tried to do at this point 1986 01:47:19.920 --> 01:47:24.479 would be totally valid if he if he got really weird. 1987 01:47:25.159 --> 01:47:27.399 But I think the easiest answer is just simply to 1988 01:47:27.680 --> 01:47:34.880 play Ronald Pedro on the left defensively against Rebels. I mean, 1989 01:47:34.920 --> 01:47:36.520 you're gonna have to kind of sit back and play 1990 01:47:36.520 --> 01:47:38.880 some ugly football, kind of like what we talked about earlier. 1991 01:47:40.399 --> 01:47:42.920 And I know people will look and they have their 1992 01:47:42.920 --> 01:47:45.199 faults for Ronald, but Ronald can put a ball on 1993 01:47:45.239 --> 01:47:49.680 a dime across the pitch, and talking about getting Jamal 1994 01:47:49.840 --> 01:47:51.960 or or Daniel up there to catch some of these 1995 01:47:52.000 --> 01:47:54.199 and try to come down with him and make something 1996 01:47:54.199 --> 01:47:57.000 out of it. Ronald can. Ronald can put the right 1997 01:47:57.039 --> 01:48:01.119 ball in. So I think, yeah, just the easiest is 1998 01:48:01.159 --> 01:48:03.359 going to be put Ronnie in and see what happens. 1999 01:48:03.800 --> 01:48:07.800 Then center back, obviously you go with Derek and Stean Jarrett. 2000 01:48:07.840 --> 01:48:11.000 But then you look at your midfield. You wonder if 2001 01:48:11.039 --> 01:48:13.199 you're gonna need to drip keep somebody back in more 2002 01:48:13.239 --> 01:48:14.880 of a six or if you go to the four 2003 01:48:14.920 --> 01:48:16.520 to one four one is kind of a thing that 2004 01:48:16.520 --> 01:48:21.079 we've seen that's caused problems for defenses where Bart goes forward. 2005 01:48:21.079 --> 01:48:24.000 What are you looking at, uh, midfield going forward for 2006 01:48:24.000 --> 01:48:24.800 Atlanta United? 2007 01:48:26.439 --> 01:48:28.399 What does Dak's have in the tank? Because I don't 2008 01:48:28.439 --> 01:48:31.840 know if it's much left. It's like in general, yeah, 2009 01:48:32.079 --> 01:48:34.880 like Dad, like daks is just he's he's I think 2010 01:48:34.880 --> 01:48:36.720 he's on at this point. And it's just been a 2011 01:48:36.760 --> 01:48:39.039 long season. And not even just like on the field 2012 01:48:39.079 --> 01:48:41.880 obviously for this organization, it's been a long season off 2013 01:48:41.880 --> 01:48:44.600 the field, right, I don't know what he's got in 2014 01:48:44.640 --> 01:48:47.399 the tank. If he can sit and be that guy 2015 01:48:47.439 --> 01:48:49.680 to kind of protect the back line, I'd ask him 2016 01:48:49.720 --> 01:48:51.199 to do it. If he if he can give me 2017 01:48:51.279 --> 01:48:59.439 that for sixty minutes or more, great. I'm really leaning 2018 01:48:59.479 --> 01:49:02.520 towards the idea of pushing Jay further up the field, 2019 01:49:02.600 --> 01:49:06.279 as we've seen him get not just better and more competent, 2020 01:49:06.279 --> 01:49:09.199 but I think physically stronger. You go back to the 2021 01:49:09.239 --> 01:49:14.399 goal against Charlotte where he's writing off challenges. Give me 2022 01:49:14.520 --> 01:49:16.840 that from jacause you're gonna need You're gonna need somebody 2023 01:49:16.880 --> 01:49:19.840 who can write off the challenge, who can fight through contact. 2024 01:49:21.560 --> 01:49:24.640 You're gonna need someone to to to just be strong 2025 01:49:24.680 --> 01:49:29.800 and tough in those moments. To Uncle's question, I don't 2026 01:49:29.840 --> 01:49:34.720 know what Hernandez said this is would not be shocked 2027 01:49:34.760 --> 01:49:36.479 if you saw Matt Edwards on the bench in this 2028 01:49:37.079 --> 01:49:42.039 as an option. You're gonna need him. You're maybe you 2029 01:49:42.239 --> 01:49:47.039 get weird here and you have an extra center back 2030 01:49:47.239 --> 01:49:49.239 or two on the bench, and then you start shifting 2031 01:49:49.319 --> 01:49:51.520 potentially to three at the back with wing backs if 2032 01:49:51.560 --> 01:49:56.560 you really need to, you know, ask Pedro to play 2033 01:49:56.640 --> 01:49:58.960 that wing back role. Hell, ask Mo Scatta to play 2034 01:49:59.000 --> 01:50:02.159 that wing back role. Like like Tyler said, anything Rob 2035 01:50:02.399 --> 01:50:07.840 does here is pretty much justified. I think one of 2036 01:50:07.920 --> 01:50:10.039 the things, though, John, is that I will be very 2037 01:50:10.119 --> 01:50:15.399 interested in Rob's reaction to things because the last few 2038 01:50:15.520 --> 01:50:18.119 games it hasn't just been the disappointment of not getting 2039 01:50:18.159 --> 01:50:23.720 results across the line, it's also been for me personally. 2040 01:50:23.840 --> 01:50:26.960 It kind of reminds me of the wigans Alo talked 2041 01:50:26.960 --> 01:50:29.439 about things. Ganzolo and Rob have different cadence and the 2042 01:50:29.479 --> 01:50:32.920 way they speak. They're going to say different things, but 2043 01:50:33.279 --> 01:50:36.920 just that that underlying frustration of I can't do it 2044 01:50:37.000 --> 01:50:39.840 for you guys, mm hmm, I need you you. You 2045 01:50:39.960 --> 01:50:43.680 gotta put the chances away, not off the crossbar and 2046 01:50:43.760 --> 01:50:46.039 you gotta fight. I can't do that for you. I 2047 01:50:46.079 --> 01:50:47.640 can draw it up for you, but you've got to 2048 01:50:47.680 --> 01:50:49.039 go execute it. Yeah. 2049 01:50:50.159 --> 01:50:52.960 Uh, to your point, if Ronald can't give you ninety, 2050 01:50:53.000 --> 01:50:55.119 even though Ronald you know, will try to do his 2051 01:50:55.199 --> 01:50:58.199 dead level best too, I think at that point you 2052 01:50:58.359 --> 01:51:02.720 probably turn the dial one one notch to the right, 2053 01:51:03.520 --> 01:51:06.880 and then Stean ends up being a right back, Derek 2054 01:51:07.000 --> 01:51:10.520 slides your six, pulls back in. It's almost like another 2055 01:51:10.600 --> 01:51:13.199 center back, and Pedro stays on the left. So I 2056 01:51:13.239 --> 01:51:15.279 think that you take the dial and you turn it 2057 01:51:15.439 --> 01:51:18.640 one notch to the left and everyone rotates over. If 2058 01:51:18.760 --> 01:51:21.800 Ronald can't give you ninety, or you work with you 2059 01:51:21.880 --> 01:51:23.840 work with Matt Edwards or something like that. 2060 01:51:24.720 --> 01:51:29.439 As a part of the the eighteen, let's see. 2061 01:51:29.920 --> 01:51:33.119 Any other games either East or West, because there are 2062 01:51:33.159 --> 01:51:35.039 some nick nacky newsy things that I want to get 2063 01:51:35.039 --> 01:51:37.960 into before we get out of here.

Like I think Peter Jurmeys and 2086 01:52:47.000 --> 01:52:49.399 Kirk Farence might be the two longest tenured coaches in 2087 01:52:49.439 --> 01:52:50.239 American sports. 2088 01:52:50.920 --> 01:52:53.840 Yeah, and the offense is really showing for both. But 2089 01:52:53.960 --> 01:52:54.720 that's another point. 2090 01:52:55.199 --> 01:52:57.399 Well, if it's because Kansas City can't punt, to take 2091 01:52:57.399 --> 01:53:04.439 a punt, my god, Yeah, entirely different conversation. Corl Road 2092 01:53:04.560 --> 01:53:08.680 and Seattle could get really feisty. La and Austin.

Also it appears that biting is going to give 2121 01:54:29.560 --> 01:54:35.640 you eight games. Uh and so uh literally, if you 2122 01:54:35.760 --> 01:54:38.680 bite somebody, it's an eight game suspension. 2123 01:54:39.359 --> 01:54:41.840 Okay, I've heard that right. I didn't know where we 2124 01:54:41.920 --> 01:54:45.880 were going with that. I had images of Luis Suarez 2125 01:54:46.119 --> 01:54:47.800 already conjured out close. 2126 01:54:48.199 --> 01:54:50.399 Presston North End forward Million ten is my age has 2127 01:54:50.399 --> 01:54:53.319 been handed an eight game suspension for biting Blackburn's Online 2128 01:54:53.359 --> 01:54:56.680 Liverpool defender Owen Beck during a Championship match last month. 2129 01:54:57.640 --> 01:55:00.760 The Montenegrin international has shown a yellow ca by the 2130 01:55:00.800 --> 01:55:03.279 match referee during the game, but the English FA subsequently 2131 01:55:03.439 --> 01:55:07.520 charged him after reviewing the incident. Suarez got ten for 2132 01:55:07.640 --> 01:55:11.399 biding Ivanovich. Osmaich has been banned for eight and fine 2133 01:55:11.439 --> 01:55:13.720 twenty grand after he admitted the charge. 2134 01:55:13.920 --> 01:55:16.920 So if there's a repeat of thunder clause there. 2135 01:55:17.640 --> 01:55:18.399 I'm sure there is. 2136 01:55:18.680 --> 01:55:22.439 But yeah, milliontons Mich has been given eight for biting 2137 01:55:22.920 --> 01:55:27.359 for Preston North End for biting a player in the Championship. 2138 01:55:27.479 --> 01:55:31.239 So you got that to sit there and sift through 2139 01:55:31.359 --> 01:55:33.880 as a part of it, I'm trying to look at 2140 01:55:33.920 --> 01:55:36.199 some other things. Oh, the NWSL stuff that I wanted 2141 01:55:36.199 --> 01:55:37.520 to get into before we get out of here. Oh, 2142 01:55:37.520 --> 01:55:39.039 are there any other games, Tyler that you're going to 2143 01:55:39.079 --> 01:55:39.720 be keeping an eye. 2144 01:55:39.680 --> 01:55:45.960 On just since he in Orlando, I think just because 2145 01:55:45.960 --> 01:55:48.840 I'm curious what Orlando's going to do on decision Day 2146 01:55:49.199 --> 01:55:53.239 and if Atlanta has a chance going into decision Day, 2147 01:55:53.600 --> 01:55:56.239 it would be nice if for Orlando decided not to play. Yes, 2148 01:55:57.319 --> 01:55:59.199 So I'm just I want to see how this one 2149 01:55:59.199 --> 01:56:03.079 plays out versus see And to your point earlier, I 2150 01:56:03.119 --> 01:56:06.680 mean I would be betting against Cincy as well, because 2151 01:56:07.720 --> 01:56:12.159 they've just not been very consistent lately. And Orlando is 2152 01:56:12.239 --> 01:56:16.720 that weird team that tends to either do really well 2153 01:56:17.000 --> 01:56:19.520 or really bad at the end of the season, and 2154 01:56:19.640 --> 01:56:21.199 it's always the opposite of what they've done in the 2155 01:56:21.239 --> 01:56:21.960 beginning of the season. 2156 01:56:22.039 --> 01:56:24.760 Yes, and the slow fade for Oscar Pereha is not 2157 01:56:24.920 --> 01:56:25.680 happening this year. 2158 01:56:25.800 --> 01:56:29.000 So I'm so excited about them getting into the playoffs, 2159 01:56:29.119 --> 01:56:33.199 Like I think it was twenty twenty when they got in, 2160 01:56:34.039 --> 01:56:37.560 and like they were just picking up red cards in 2161 01:56:37.600 --> 01:56:40.119 the playoffs, like to a game because then they had 2162 01:56:40.159 --> 01:56:44.880 the one shootout where unless they got sent off in 2163 01:56:45.079 --> 01:56:48.239 the shootout, yes, and then they had to put an 2164 01:56:48.279 --> 01:56:50.359 outfield player in the outfield player made a safe. 2165 01:56:50.680 --> 01:56:50.880 Yeah. 2166 01:56:51.680 --> 01:56:52.960 I think it was against New England. Think it was 2167 01:56:53.000 --> 01:56:56.600 against Bruce's New England team, and then they had to 2168 01:56:56.840 --> 01:56:59.439 go play the next week or that was New England 2169 01:56:59.479 --> 01:57:02.079 they played, and then they got like two more red cars. 2170 01:57:02.159 --> 01:57:05.520 Like I think it was like who on just just 2171 01:57:05.680 --> 01:57:10.520 went like full booker te missile drop kick, Yeah, on 2172 01:57:10.880 --> 01:57:15.119 their edge. Yeah. I I for until the day I die, 2173 01:57:15.199 --> 01:57:20.520 I will associate that Orlando psychotic era with Nannie, Like 2174 01:57:20.720 --> 01:57:22.479 they just seemed to chill out with Nan he was 2175 01:57:22.600 --> 01:57:25.239 not there anymore, but like like they had an edge, 2176 01:57:25.319 --> 01:57:27.880 but like they saw the edge and they just ran 2177 01:57:28.039 --> 01:57:30.039 past it like Wiley Coyote. 2178 01:57:31.439 --> 01:57:31.880 Mm hmm. 2179 01:57:33.000 --> 01:57:36.000 And uh yeah, so it was Rodrigo Schlegel who took 2180 01:57:36.119 --> 01:57:42.359 over in the ny CFC match. Uh yeah, so yeah, 2181 01:57:42.560 --> 01:57:46.119 so it was uh Schlegel taking over for Gallessa in 2182 01:57:46.520 --> 01:57:50.720 the after the Gallesse read uh NWSL notes and uh 2183 01:57:51.640 --> 01:57:54.520 they by the way, and Bart made this point in 2184 01:57:54.640 --> 01:57:58.479 the twitch pitch. NWSL concludes an investigation in salary camp 2185 01:57:58.600 --> 01:58:01.840 violations by Angel City and imposing disciplinary actions based on 2186 01:58:01.880 --> 01:58:05.560 the findings following a review. ACFC violated multiple league rules 2187 01:58:06.319 --> 01:58:09.800 during the calendar year twenty three, entered into five side 2188 01:58:09.960 --> 01:58:13.800 letters directly with players that affected multi year agreements and 2189 01:58:13.880 --> 01:58:17.119 were not disclosed to the league. Agreements included a combination 2190 01:58:17.239 --> 01:58:20.159 of compensation and benefits reflected in the standard player agreement, 2191 01:58:20.239 --> 01:58:23.279 excess benefits that were neither reported to the league nor 2192 01:58:23.359 --> 01:58:27.279 included in the standard player agreement. Basically, I guess it 2193 01:58:27.399 --> 01:58:31.840 was nil and the nwsl due to the undisclosed benefits, 2194 01:58:31.880 --> 01:58:35.279 ACFC exceeded the salary kept by approximately fifty grand for 2195 01:58:35.359 --> 01:58:38.880 four weeks during the twenty twenty four season, fined two 2196 01:58:39.079 --> 01:58:43.279 hundred thousand dollars a three point deduction in the standings, 2197 01:58:43.319 --> 01:58:47.840 effective immediately. Julie Yeerman, President and CEO, and Angela Heuclusmungano 2198 01:58:47.960 --> 01:58:52.560 GM are suspended, effective immediately, from conducting duties relating to 2199 01:58:52.600 --> 01:58:55.000 any player transactions for the remainder of the twenty twenty 2200 01:58:55.039 --> 01:58:59.840 four calendar year. In addition, the NWSLB conducting annual investigation 2201 01:59:00.079 --> 01:59:02.520 and audits a player spending across clubs to ensure compliance 2202 01:59:02.560 --> 01:59:05.399 with league rules, and then the NWSL says that they 2203 01:59:05.439 --> 01:59:09.199 remain committed to maintaining fairness and transparency across all clubs, 2204 01:59:09.239 --> 01:59:12.039 reinforcing the importance of adhering to the established rules and 2205 01:59:12.199 --> 01:59:14.319 upholding the competitive balance within the league. So I guess 2206 01:59:14.399 --> 01:59:17.399 ACFC tried to go nil and got busted because you 2207 01:59:17.479 --> 01:59:18.199 can't quite do that. 2208 01:59:18.560 --> 01:59:19.359 That's that's bad. 2209 01:59:19.760 --> 01:59:21.920 So a team not making the playoffs, as Bart says, 2210 01:59:22.479 --> 01:59:26.119 got found for busting for breaking salary rules and got 2211 01:59:26.199 --> 01:59:28.359 deducted another three points. Thanks for coming by. 2212 01:59:29.880 --> 01:59:31.479 You know, it's not an excuse at all. 2213 01:59:31.720 --> 01:59:32.039 But like. 2214 01:59:33.600 --> 01:59:36.279 When I see things like this happen, especially like this one, Yeah, 2215 01:59:36.600 --> 01:59:41.159 it just feels like like somebody genuinely just made a mistake, 2216 01:59:41.439 --> 01:59:44.680 Like because we know there's there's other little you know, 2217 01:59:44.800 --> 01:59:47.079 bits and pieces and places that you can make you know, 2218 01:59:47.159 --> 01:59:53.159 extra income. Lino MESSI and I don't I'll be the 2219 01:59:53.199 --> 01:59:54.520 first to say, I don't know how like all that 2220 01:59:54.640 --> 01:59:57.199 has to be reported in what kind of channels they 2221 01:59:57.199 --> 01:59:59.119 have to go through, But like it just feels like 2222 01:59:59.159 --> 02:00:00.359 somebody missed a zero somewhere. 2223 02:00:00.800 --> 02:00:02.680 Do it as an nil deal man? 2224 02:00:03.119 --> 02:00:06.479 Yeah, I don't know.
