Speaker 1: Basis drop. Oh you know it's a Monday wind. Wow,
Speaker 1: that's the way to start things off, all right, Hi,
Speaker 1: you know it's a Monday win. Bas has dropped on
Speaker 1: a new round of Soccer's Morning Show here on the
Speaker 1: SDH Network. John, hear you there. Thanks for dropping by,
Speaker 1: and we know that we know you've got a lot
Speaker 1: to talk about this morning. We do have news of
Speaker 1: the am to get into, including the Trial of the
Speaker 1: Century this week overseas, and it'll be a standard Monday.
Speaker 1: I don't think Abe is with the Atlanta Falcons this morning.
Speaker 1: I think Abe gets to join us at his normal
Speaker 1: time in about nine minutes, and then Bart Keeler, fresh
Speaker 1: from the backyard brawl with Pitton West Virginia, will get
Speaker 1: it into what's on Bart's mind when it comes to
Speaker 1: the US M and T the U twenties. By the way,
Speaker 1: last night, for those of you that stayed up late,
Speaker 1: you got to see a great one in the women's
Speaker 1: U twenty tournament down in Columbia, and we'll discuss that
Speaker 1: there's some Georgia influence there with Jordan Dudley, Riley Jackson
Speaker 1: and Jordan Dudley came up big late against Germany. In
Speaker 1: the quarterfinals. So the US advances to the Semis down
Speaker 1: there in the U twenty tournament. Very very cool stuff
Speaker 1: going on down there's whatever's on your mind this morning.
Speaker 1: Obviously we're going to talk about it Atlanta United and
Speaker 1: the result that happened against Nashville. You really don't have
Speaker 1: a whole lot of time to think about it because
Speaker 1: Messi and friends are coming to town on Wednesday night,
Speaker 1: sold out house at Mercedes Benz Stadium. So whatever's on
Speaker 1: your mind from what happened on the weekend, whether it's
Speaker 1: Atlanta United, could be Premier League, could be anything. Whatever's there,
Speaker 1: go ahead and lay it all out for us here
Speaker 1: on the morning show. We'll talk about it here until
Speaker 1: eleven zero five ish because then traditionally we end up
Speaker 1: going long and we'll just keep uh, we'll just keep going.
Speaker 1: But once again, we got stuff to talk about from
Speaker 1: the weekend. The two's had a nine goal chaos If
Speaker 1: you looked up chaos in the Webster's Dictionary and it
Speaker 1: would be a picture of it. Land United too in
Speaker 1: Huntsbole City Football Club from yesterday nine goals at Lanty
Speaker 1: United down four, n Ill came back to four to three,
Speaker 1: then it was two goals within about a minute and
Speaker 1: a half and Huntsble City walks away with a or
Speaker 1: probably runs out of town with a six ' to
Speaker 1: three win over at Lanty United two. And now it
Speaker 1: is the margin of error no longer exists for Lanty
Speaker 1: United two. To get into the playoffs. Three matches left,
Speaker 1: you got to win them all and it starts Thursday
Speaker 1: night here on the Network against Crown Legacy. It'll be
Speaker 1: a seven o'clock pregame show, seven point thirty three kick
Speaker 1: If my math is correct, Crown Legacy is the eight
Speaker 1: seed right now in the Eastern Conference. You got to
Speaker 1: beat Crown Legacy. In Matthews, you got to get a
Speaker 1: lot of help. No one can get North with forty points,
Speaker 1: and you've got to get wins. So that's how it
Speaker 1: is for the twos. Obviously a frustrating result with Atlanty
Speaker 1: nighted and what happened with Nashville, and we'll get into
Speaker 1: that as well. So whatever's on your mind this morning,
Speaker 1: and before I get into opening kickoff and before I
Speaker 1: get into a it was great to see Pars and
Speaker 1: great to see four card and to be able to,
Speaker 1: like I said, and I got to explain to folks
Speaker 1: that were around Pars and Pars's boss meaning the better
Speaker 1: half that Pars is now chasing aston Villa and you
Speaker 1: had the the Everton aston Villa match from this weekend.
Speaker 1: I know that now Ropes and Tom Russo the Airborne DJ,
Speaker 1: will now be having a bit of verbal jousting with
Speaker 1: Parr as he learns about aston Villa. But it was
Speaker 1: great to see folks and once again associate faces with
Speaker 1: name IDs and as we have grown into this family
Speaker 1: here at the SDH network over seven years, to be
Speaker 1: able to run into folks. And another random run in
Speaker 1: was one of the linesmen from the Friday I think
Speaker 1: it was the side judge from our Friday Game of
Speaker 1: the Week at GPB, another one of our plus ones,
Speaker 1: and so it was. It was just crazy to see
Speaker 1: all of these random interactions as we go. But the
Speaker 1: fact that we all get to kind of run into
Speaker 1: each other and see each other and to be able
Speaker 1: to associate faces with names and IDs, it's very very cool.
Speaker 1: And don't ever and this is not opening kickoff yet,
Speaker 1: but don't ever be afraid to sit there and yell
Speaker 1: at me and go, you know, hey, numb nuts, you know,
Speaker 1: and like four card headed me off. He goes John.
Speaker 1: I turned and four card was there. He goes four card,
Speaker 1: and I'm like, wow, don't ever be afraid to sit
Speaker 1: there and say hi. I might be running around nine
Speaker 1: hundred thousand miles an hour, but seriously stop me for
Speaker 1: you know, fifteen twenty seconds say hi, great to see
Speaker 1: you and all that. And that reminds me. I think
Speaker 1: I did it in the discord, but I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: it here now that I finally remember to do it. Here,
Speaker 1: Domer dropped off his new round of of spicy sauce.
Speaker 1: It was a It was a hot sauce for the
Speaker 1: Boss and a medium for me. And when Domer slaves
Speaker 1: over a hot cooking device and creates his his sauces,
Speaker 1: always make sure to drop some bot the cossup. And
Speaker 1: it is very very it's very very humbling. It was
Speaker 1: like ninety five degrees when he dropped it off. But
Speaker 1: I'm surprised that the glass made it. But it was
Speaker 1: stuck in the mailbox. And I can't thank Domer enough
Speaker 1: for dropping by the Domor sauces once again. Here as
Speaker 1: we are getting out of the summer and into the
Speaker 1: fall of twenty twenty four, all right, Abe has punched
Speaker 1: his ticket early. I have no objections, none heard so
Speaker 1: ordered otherwise. So I'm just gonna go ahead and bring
Speaker 1: Abe in and we'll talk about what's going on. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna save opening kickoff to the flip side of Abe
Speaker 1: because it's one of those opening kickoffs that you sit
Speaker 1: there and go, God, what did John eat for breakfast
Speaker 1: before this morning? It's one of those kind of sidebar
Speaker 1: things where you're sitting there going what is he thinking about?
Speaker 1: And where is he going with it? So we'll have
Speaker 1: that coming up in just a little bit. So wasting
Speaker 1: no time once again, Abe Gordon, now that he is
Speaker 1: properly hydrated, hanging out with us from Colony Square, What
Speaker 1: is up, my friend?
Speaker 2: Not too much, man, A nice fun week that hopefully
Speaker 2: we can move quickly on from the weekend. Because a
Speaker 2: little fella, I guess I'm actually accidentally wearing a little
Speaker 2: like inner Miami colors.
Speaker 1: That's just since you have alluded to that on the air.
Speaker 2: Uh why not?
Speaker 1: Okay, very shirt? And that's the thing is it is
Speaker 1: It is just a shirt, sir, there is I don't
Speaker 1: I believe that there is no immediate bearing to the
Speaker 1: team that is coming here in the midweek Messi and
Speaker 1: friends and MESSI got to play on the weekend. But uh,
Speaker 1: I know that going into the match that obviously you're
Speaker 1: looking at a team in Nashville that hadn't been scoring goals,
Speaker 1: has been a team in transition under BJ Callahan, and
Speaker 1: they get to jump on it Land United early on,
Speaker 1: you know, only a handful of minutes in and so
Speaker 1: then you're you're fighting uphill from that moment. Rob Valentino
Speaker 1: after the match, and I do have some sound that
Speaker 1: I'll probably end up playing somewhere here in the show.
Speaker 1: Rob Valentino said it was unacceptable, and you've got a
Speaker 1: team that was off for two weeks and they come
Speaker 1: out just flat, and it showed.
Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean you could tell from Rob Valentino's game
Speaker 2: that this performance completely caught him off guard. And I
Speaker 2: think sometimes in training you might be able to get
Speaker 2: the feeling that like man like, it doesn't feel like
Speaker 2: these guys are gonna bring it on the weekend, And
Speaker 2: it sounded from his comments that he didn't have any
Speaker 2: knowledge of that. He didn't get that feeling at all.
Speaker 2: He expected a better performance, and look, you would always
Speaker 2: expect a better performance but I think sometimes you can
Speaker 2: kind of see it coming. This one certainly blindsided him,
Speaker 2: and you could tell by the way he was reacting
Speaker 2: in the postgame discussion that he was incredibly frustrated. Kinda
Speaker 2: alluded to maybe not having an answer in regards to
Speaker 2: the performance. Promised it wouldn't happen again, but kind of
Speaker 2: kind of walked back that promise, because like, if you
Speaker 2: feel like everything's trending in the right way and then
Speaker 2: they show up on on Saturday night at home to
Speaker 2: a winnable game, and then throw that performance out there, like,
Speaker 2: why would you be able to confirm that it'll never
Speaker 2: look like that again? And this was one that it
Speaker 2: sounded without putting anyone's name directly out there, he wanted
Speaker 2: to put directly on the players, and to an extent,
Speaker 2: he did without doing it directly, And that's a cause
Speaker 2: for concern in regards to the playoff chase. I mean,
Speaker 2: this was probably your best case scenario for three points, right,
Speaker 2: You're fully rested, you're at home. This is the worst
Speaker 2: team in the Eastern Conference, at least at that time
Speaker 2: according to the table Nashville was. Everything was working in
Speaker 2: your favor and then you throw out a performance that
Speaker 2: is essentially wholly non competitive and from the start too.
Speaker 2: I mean, you give up a goal in the fifth
Speaker 2: minute and it's pretty much over from there. You didn't rebound, right,
Speaker 2: You didn't respond to that goal. And that's the thing
Speaker 2: we at least have seen in some instances where Landy
Speaker 2: United has gone down early. I think we have sometimes
Speaker 2: seen a response. We just didn't get that today or
Speaker 2: excuse me, on Saturday. And quite frankly, all the hopes
Speaker 2: of Alexi Moronchuk being an impactful player and I'm not
Speaker 2: gonna say that he's not. It's a one game sample size,
Speaker 2: right We're not calling for the heads of Raheem Morris.
Speaker 2: We're not gonna call for the head of Alexi Mouranchuk
Speaker 2: right now. But it was a very disappointing home debut
Speaker 2: for Moranchuk because in LA against the Galaxy, when he
Speaker 2: was on the road, he made his first career start
Speaker 2: for Landy United. It did not lead directly to a goal,
Speaker 2: but I thought you saw how dangerous he could be
Speaker 2: and the vision that he's working with in some of
Speaker 2: the things. And I do want to make this point
Speaker 2: because a lot of people are talking about, oh, he
Speaker 2: had all these trainings and the chemistry with the teammates
Speaker 2: is going to be so much better than it was
Speaker 2: with the squad out in LA. Just remember it's not
Speaker 2: just about learning his teammates. It's also about learning this
Speaker 2: league and learning the opponents. And you have to go
Speaker 2: through it and see how each team defends different aspects
Speaker 2: of what you're trying to do, and so the learning
Speaker 2: curve may be a little bit steeper for Moron Chuck
Speaker 2: then we maybe want to give credit to or maybe
Speaker 2: initially thought because he's a different style of player than
Speaker 2: a guy like Almana. It doesn't just come in the
Speaker 2: realm of takeover because I can beat this man one
Speaker 2: on one. It manifests itself differently. But it was a
Speaker 2: disappointing home debut for Alexi Mironchuk. Hopefully he can be
Speaker 2: a little bit more impactful in the midweek game. But
Speaker 2: now you've got some real issues because Ronald Hernandez is
Speaker 2: potentially dealing with an ankle injury he picked up in training.
Speaker 2: Pedro Amador got crushed and it might be sent into
Speaker 2: concussion protocol or who knows if he's gonna be ready,
Speaker 2: and so you all you are short staffed a little
Speaker 2: bit on that back end now, which anytime you're going
Speaker 2: against Miami probably not the place you'd want to be
Speaker 2: a little bit short staffed. But the moral of the
Speaker 2: story here, John, is incredibly frustrating to see this performance
Speaker 2: because you had the potential of making a move in
Speaker 2: the standings, on the table, and if it was gonna happen,
Speaker 2: it felt like it was gonna happen in this game.
Speaker 2: It didn't. There's still some time, not a lot of it,
Speaker 2: but there's still some time. But now you've got to
Speaker 2: find a couple of wins, and at least one of
Speaker 2: them is probably gonna have to come on the road.
Speaker 2: One of them is probably gonna have to come against
Speaker 2: teams that are higher than you in the table, and
Speaker 2: so you've you've got to find your way up another
Speaker 2: spot in the standings. And it would have been a
Speaker 2: lot easier to do that with three points against Nashville.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the numbers on aleximy Anschuk, according to our friends
Speaker 1: at the Sofa scory bunch to six point nine forty
Speaker 1: nine touches in ninety minutes, thirty one to thirty seven,
Speaker 1: passing eighty four percent, had the one cross, had two
Speaker 1: long balls that were successful, one shot on target, one off,
Speaker 1: was two for two on his duels, fouled once, had
Speaker 1: a clearance, and had a tackle on the day. So
Speaker 1: that's what you're staring at from Alexi Midanchuk. You mentioned
Speaker 1: the possible injuries. Obviously Shanday's dealing with something that he's
Speaker 1: been dealing for quite some time with the foot. I'm
Speaker 1: still trying to figure out, since you mentioned Pedro Amador,
Speaker 1: how Sam Surage did not get a card of any
Speaker 1: color when he cleared Amador out. When you look at
Speaker 1: the replay and you see Surage climb the ladder and
Speaker 1: take his and I know it was his right but
Speaker 1: I'm left handed, where he takes his forearm and basically
Speaker 1: cleans Amador out on the climb up, and Amador ends
Speaker 1: up landing face first on the turf because of getting
Speaker 1: cleaned out by Surriage. No card, no foul, no nothing,
Speaker 1: and Promador was down for quite some time, and obviously
Speaker 1: they had to a head injury and you end up
Speaker 1: with a concussion sub I believe at the time as
Speaker 1: he was getting checked out. So yeah, this was, you know,
Speaker 1: the opportunity I think capital t capital O when it
Speaker 1: came to trying to get north of the playoff bar,
Speaker 1: and you would have been in. You would have been
Speaker 1: within touching distance of possibly even the seven, depending on
Speaker 1: what Orlando would have done. But right now, as you say,
Speaker 1: it is still outside looking in. It is eight wins
Speaker 1: on the board, and DC is two points ahead of you.
Speaker 1: But once again, you're getting chased by the neighbor's dog
Speaker 1: if you're the postman, because you got all the neighbors
Speaker 1: dogs that are chasing after you when you hit the neighborhood.
Speaker 1: Because Atlanta's at thirty one, Philadelphia is at thirty, identical
Speaker 1: record to Montreal, well ahead of Montreal. And this is
Speaker 1: what may just absolutely white Montreal off the map with
Speaker 1: any kind of consideration, a goal difference of minus twenty two,
Speaker 1: and Atlanta's got that come in to town in the
Speaker 1: next month. But Montreal at thirty points and seven win,
Speaker 1: Chicago's seven wins and twenty nine points, and they are
Speaker 1: one goal ahead of Nashville in goal difference. And then
Speaker 1: really New England is still not out of it completely
Speaker 1: and totally, but they've got twenty seven points in twenty
Speaker 1: seven matches, So dogs are barking behind you. You're trying
Speaker 1: to take care of business with six to go, and
Speaker 1: you're trying to be two points better than DC to
Speaker 1: hop into the playoff picture. That's what you're staring at
Speaker 1: right now.
Speaker 2: Well, the good news about that and what's right behind
Speaker 2: you is that you play both of those teams. You
Speaker 2: play Philadelphia, you play Montreal, quite frankly, and we came
Speaker 2: close to calling Nashville a must win. I think those
Speaker 2: two are must win. I mean, you're just not gonna
Speaker 2: hold them off if they take the points from you.
Speaker 2: And it's an opportunity against teams that are theoretically worse
Speaker 2: than you, at least based on the current standings, to
Speaker 2: take all three and including one of those being at
Speaker 2: home in that game against Montreal, So those become integral.
Speaker 2: And then you got to find a way to either
Speaker 2: beat Miami Red Bull either here or there, Orlando City
Speaker 2: in the final game of the season. And so there's
Speaker 2: still opportunity. I mean, there's still three, maybe four wins
Speaker 2: potentially out there. But you just cannot look the way
Speaker 2: you did on Saturday night, lifeless and listless. You weren't
Speaker 2: up for the game from the start, and that's the
Speaker 2: biggest issue. And I would imagine Wednesday with Miami and
Speaker 2: the top team in the Eastern Conference. You'll be up
Speaker 2: for it and you'll have a little bit better performance,
Speaker 2: I would think, whether or not Messi comes and plays
Speaker 2: the crowd, you know who had bought tickets hoping he
Speaker 2: would be, We'll be there in full force and hopefully
Speaker 2: can energize the squad. But it's still there. That's what's
Speaker 2: kind of crazy, is you got another weekend of results
Speaker 2: that really didn't kill you in terms of what's ahead
Speaker 2: of you, and it's there. I mean, you've got the
Speaker 2: games that you need right there. You've also got a
Speaker 2: game in hand on some of the teams that are
Speaker 2: directly above you in that eight and nine spot, So
Speaker 2: you're gonna have to put use of that game in
Speaker 2: hand and deal with it on that front. But yeah,
Speaker 2: it's concerning, because let's go back beyond just Nashville, right.
Speaker 2: You go back to that Charlotte game, and you put
Speaker 2: in a pretty strong effort over the course of ninety
Speaker 2: minutes in Charlotte, and you feel like you're trending up.
Speaker 2: You feel like you've got something going there, and then
Speaker 2: you come back home after rest and recovery and a
Speaker 2: game plan and kind of gearing up for this final
Speaker 2: seven game push. Now six games and it just wasn't there.
Speaker 2: And now the flip side is you've also seen Charlotte
Speaker 2: and they had another poor performance this weekend, and you
Speaker 2: start to ask yourself how much of that was even
Speaker 2: Atlanta trending upwards or is it just a massive downward
Speaker 2: turn for Charlotte. And I think you can make your
Speaker 2: arguments for the downward turn from Charlotte, and then you
Speaker 2: combine that with what we saw from Landy United, it
Speaker 2: does give you some concern. But you've got to find
Speaker 2: a way to pick up some points in games that
Speaker 2: maybe you don't expect to and that includes Wednesday against Miami.
Speaker 2: I mean, at this point you'll take anything. Even a
Speaker 2: draw at home is would be huge based on the
Speaker 2: rest of the schedule. And again it makes that Philly
Speaker 2: and that Montreal game, I mean, those are unless you
Speaker 2: plan on beating Red Bulls twice and taking it to
Speaker 2: Miami on Wednesday, Like those two games are just absolutely
Speaker 2: must wins, like we're not gonna make We're not gonna
Speaker 2: kind of gloss over it as oh, you know, the
Speaker 2: season's not over if you don't win. No, like those
Speaker 2: are must win games, like if you're gonna jump into
Speaker 2: that spot, those are must win games. But the performance
Speaker 2: is certainly concerning. And back to how we open the discussion,
Speaker 2: Like Rob Valley, Latino is not going to have very
Speaker 2: much patience in this one.
Speaker 1: The dude dropped an F bomb well in the postgame
Speaker 1: press conference. I don't know how well that went over on.
Speaker 2: We try not to bring too much attention to that
Speaker 2: because it was aired live on the air, but yeah,
Speaker 2: the frustration was very clear. I mean, he blew off
Speaker 2: Jarrett for what was supposed to be a post game
Speaker 2: discussion down on the field. I would also blow off Jarrett,
Speaker 2: if we're gonna be honest, Yeah, I blow him off
Speaker 2: as much as possible to press box, I certainly would
Speaker 2: blow him off in the in the field, but no,
Speaker 2: I mean, look, he was working his way through it,
Speaker 2: incredibly frustrated, trying to gather his thoughts, and something tells
Speaker 2: me it's not going to be a fun week or
Speaker 2: half week of sessions leading up to this game on Wednesday,
Speaker 2: And all I can say is we talked about this.
Speaker 2: Mike Connie was the one that pointed out really in
Speaker 2: the full time report, if there's anything, you're holding onto
Speaker 2: the one thing that Atlantic, because I said, the one
Speaker 2: that Atlanta and Nited just hasn't found consistency. They've never
Speaker 2: really stretched out their rags and hit a rhythm. And
Speaker 2: Mike County said, actually, they have found consistency in one thing,
Speaker 2: and that is playing to the level of their opponent,
Speaker 2: whether it be up or unfortunately, whether it be down.
Speaker 2: And we've seen them compete with some of the best
Speaker 2: teams in the MLS. We've also seen them drop points
Speaker 2: to some of the worst teams in the MLS. And
Speaker 2: so if there is like a big glimmer of hope
Speaker 2: and it's like maybe once again they can rise to
Speaker 2: the level of competition and play on evil even terms
Speaker 2: with Miami or potentially find a winner. And so that's
Speaker 2: kind of what I'm holding onto at this point because
Speaker 2: there's nothing from the performance on Saturday that leads me
Speaker 2: to believe that they're gonna be able to beat Miami
Speaker 2: on Wednesday. But again, it just hasn't seemed like one
Speaker 2: performance to the next, You've been able to carry over momentum,
Speaker 2: and that includes momentum that has gone backwards, Like it
Speaker 2: doesn't necessarily mean they're gonna have a stinker on Wednesday.
Speaker 2: They might, but just because they didn't look good Saturday,
Speaker 2: it does not. Over the course of this season has
Speaker 2: not meant that they're not going to bring it on Wednesday.
Speaker 2: And so hope springs eternal optimism remains, and we'll see
Speaker 2: what they've got for the little guy, if he's brave
Speaker 2: enough to step out onto the pitch.
Speaker 1: Well, let's see Abe Gordon nineteen nine the game at
Speaker 1: Abe Gordon at nineteen nine in the game on the
Speaker 1: two hundred and eighty character app, I was looking at
Speaker 1: the minutes played from the individuals of our resident Philadelphia
Speaker 1: Union fan. Rich Ransom is in the timeline this morning,
Speaker 1: and he mentions that with Messi and friends getting the duke,
Speaker 1: Messi played ninety minutes, Luis Suarez played ninety minutes. Diego Gomez,
Speaker 1: who's heading to Brighton at some point, played eighty one minutes.
Speaker 1: In the midfield played eighty nine minutes, so you're getting
Speaker 1: a lot of folks that logged a lot of minutes.
Speaker 1: Bosquets played ninety. Julian Gressel, as I'm scanning, he also
Speaker 1: played eighty one minutes, So you're you're front seven that
Speaker 1: you're used to seeing and the Gulf Stream Galacticos, Jordi
Speaker 1: Alba played ninety minutes. They all went the distance or
Speaker 1: most of it getting ready for this particular matchup that
Speaker 1: we have here in the midweek. So the palace intrigue
Speaker 1: does exist as to how many minutes if any, those
Speaker 1: individuals will play in the midweek going up against Atlanta United.
Speaker 2: Yeah. The thing that's been kind of crazy about Miami
Speaker 2: is it doesn't seem to matter who's in there, like
Speaker 2: like they have produced and obviously Messi returned this past week.
Speaker 2: Uh oh, look who's joinings. Messi returned this past week. Now,
Speaker 2: he obviously didn't have to knock the rust off. It
Speaker 2: didn't take long. Two goals and an assist for him.
Speaker 2: But even without him in the time that he's missed
Speaker 2: an injury, like, they've just been cruising along. They've already
Speaker 2: clinched a playoff spot, they're still cruising along and it
Speaker 2: just hasn't seemed to matter that. That's what's honestly been
Speaker 2: most impressive is everyone who when Messi came to the MLS,
Speaker 2: everyone was like, all right, we know he's not gonna
Speaker 2: play forty five games this season or whatever the number
Speaker 2: may be how many points do they drop in the
Speaker 2: games that he's not playing. It has not been much.
Speaker 2: They are just cruising along. I mean, what was it
Speaker 2: a three to one victory? I think over this past
Speaker 2: weekend they're still scoring goals without him, and it's not
Speaker 2: just him at Jordi, Alba and Suarez sketch like. They're
Speaker 2: still doing damage even when he's not the maestro on
Speaker 2: the field there. So it's really really impressive to see
Speaker 2: what they've been able to do without Messi and then
Speaker 2: quite frankly, a little bit scary to see what they
Speaker 2: can do with him. But again, this is a Landy
Speaker 2: United squad that has already dealt with them one time
Speaker 2: this season and come out victorious and one of the
Speaker 2: more surprising results in the moment, And so hopefully they
Speaker 2: can they can rise to that occasion and do it again.
Speaker 1: On Wednesday, Jared, I will give you the last question
Speaker 1: for Abe Gordon and his weekly Monday visit except when
Speaker 1: the Falcons come to come to town.
Speaker 3: Oh god, without knowing what you guys have discussed already.
Speaker 3: Oh that's good, Yeah, I know, that's always the best.
Speaker 2: Hey.
Speaker 3: The disappointment notwith standing from Saturday night, Rob Valentino's words,
Speaker 3: clearly doing a lot of lifting. What changes you look
Speaker 3: at it? What changes would you make going into Wednesday night?
Speaker 3: And would he even be, Hey, I'm for me personally.
Speaker 3: It is a I need people who are willing to fight,
Speaker 3: and I didn't always get that since Saturday night, So
Speaker 3: you need changes you're making for Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Well, there's a couple things with the limitations I expect
Speaker 2: limitations on Hernandez and Amador. Potentially, I would say, likely out,
Speaker 2: I would go back to the whether you want to
Speaker 2: call it three center backs or five in the back,
Speaker 2: whatever you did, this is what you did the first
Speaker 2: time in Miami. Maybe not by choice now but by personnel.
Speaker 2: I think you have to go back to that. Insert
Speaker 2: Noah Cobb back into the lineup and Brooks Lennon and
Speaker 2: I don't know what you do on the left side
Speaker 2: right now, if we're gonna be honest at Yeah, Well,
Speaker 2: but I thought he was maybe banged up. I thought
Speaker 2: he maybe had some some limitations too, So we'll see
Speaker 2: what's going on there again with I know, in theory
Speaker 2: you could have maybe pulled most scare back there. But
Speaker 2: if Sean may Silva's limited, I mean it's a mess.
Speaker 2: It's kind of a maybe maybe Tyler Wolf goes up
Speaker 2: top and most scaret however you're going to do it,
Speaker 2: But I would probably go back to three center backs
Speaker 2: this one. I think the question is fair. Uh who
Speaker 2: who was gonna lay it on the line? And I
Speaker 2: just don't know who you have in the reserves that
Speaker 2: I would make a change for. I think maybe you
Speaker 2: can ask more of guys that are going to be
Speaker 2: out there. But I mean, quite frankly, you're in the
Speaker 2: midst of a final six game playoff push. It's a
Speaker 2: little late to be making like desperation moves because of
Speaker 2: mindset of players. And I think it's a fair question.
Speaker 2: By the way, Jared like guys were not fighting, And
Speaker 2: I think the biggest like instance of that was as
Speaker 2: we mentioned here, John when when Pedromdor got clocked and
Speaker 2: it was like, no one's running to his defense except
Speaker 2: for good Well, you weren't on the field though, Jared.
Speaker 1: Actually he was on the field.
Speaker 2: You were, but you somehow I didn't make it in
Speaker 2: between the lines there. I don't think you were gonna
Speaker 2: go I mean, look, i've seen you play. Maybe you
Speaker 2: were gonna go double foot inside studs up in the surge.
Speaker 3: If I went in to drug double foot somebody, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna blow up both acls in the process.
Speaker 2: Well maybe you nick him at least in part of that. No, No,
Speaker 2: but I mean all druking aside. Like it was like, dude,
Speaker 2: is no one gonna coke crack him the next time
Speaker 2: there's a ball in the air or whatever, And it
Speaker 2: just didn't happen, And no one was really even overly
Speaker 2: animated except for Goose, who was incredibly frustrated and had
Speaker 2: the right.
Speaker 1: To do so.
Speaker 2: And so I do think what you're asking is fair,
Speaker 2: but it's just like I don't know right now if
Speaker 2: they have the moves to make. I mean, you've thrown,
Speaker 2: not thrown, but you've had so many guys exit the club.
Speaker 2: I think your depth is really being tested, even more
Speaker 2: so by the injuries. And so I mean, what about
Speaker 2: you a guy that you're looking for that you would
Speaker 2: wish I had singled out here, Jared, that was like,
Speaker 2: I can't believe you did bring up so and so
Speaker 2: because I just don't know. You know, maybe you bring
Speaker 2: Moyam Bob back into the starting lineup, but like, I
Speaker 2: don't think starting Dax McCarty's gonna have some sort of
Speaker 2: dramatic change. I'd like to see Jay Fortune stay in there.
Speaker 2: I think he's performed. Well, uh, you're not gonna benchmarn Chuck.
Speaker 2: So it's just like, what are the changes to be had?
Speaker 1: And no, I.
Speaker 3: It's a tricky I agree, it's a tricky question. I
Speaker 3: ask you genuinely because I think it is very tricky
Speaker 3: that you can't just you can't just empty everybody out.
Speaker 3: And this isn't FIFA, you know we talk about this
Speaker 3: isn't This isn't a video game where you can just
Speaker 3: throw guys in there and it works. I think for
Speaker 3: me personally, I think Rob's in a really tricky spot because, look,
Speaker 3: Rob's gonna get Rob is gonna be considered for this
Speaker 3: job full time now, whether or not you think he
Speaker 3: should get it. Notwithstanding, they're gonna they're gonna treat him
Speaker 3: like a real candidate. And I've said this before, but
Speaker 3: they're going to talk about him like a real candidate
Speaker 3: because he deserves that respect. He's been a steward of
Speaker 3: the club for years. He's been through multiple staffs. He
Speaker 3: has stepped up when you've needed him to to be
Speaker 3: the interim, he slid back into Gonzo staff. He stepped
Speaker 3: up in a really tough time. Again, you treed him
Speaker 3: with respect. You're gonna interview him, You're going to show
Speaker 3: him that respect. You're not going to dismiss him. But
Speaker 3: whether or not he's coaching here next year or whether
Speaker 3: he's coaching somewhere else, this is a long ass audition
Speaker 3: for him for his career if he wants to be
Speaker 3: a head guy, maybe not an MLS right now, but
Speaker 3: somewhere else. And I think you want to trust the
Speaker 3: veteran guys who can get a job done. It's easy
Speaker 3: for me to say, play the kids. It's a really
Speaker 3: easy thing for me to say that because I'm not
Speaker 3: the one with my job on the line and my
Speaker 3: future on the line. Because instinctively, it's, hey, put the
Speaker 3: kids out there, man. Let Luke Brennan go out there
Speaker 3: and try and start a fight again. He did last
Speaker 3: time he played. But it's it's so it's so much
Speaker 3: easier for me to say that sitting here than a
Speaker 3: guy who is trying to trust a team around him,
Speaker 3: not only to win games, but also again he's auditioning
Speaker 3: for his future. So I mean, I don't know what
Speaker 3: changes you would make. You're gonna have to probably make
Speaker 3: some because I would imagine Omador's There's no way he
Speaker 3: wasn't concussed to oblivion and back. You know, you had
Speaker 3: a Stean took a knock, Derek took a knock, Sean
Speaker 3: Day was banged up and had to come off. You're
Speaker 3: gonna have to get really creative how you put this
Speaker 3: together Wednesday night. I don't know what changes you would
Speaker 3: make just for the sake of you know, fire and Brimstone.
Speaker 3: But I yeah, we were standing on the field waiting
Speaker 3: post game and the hit on Amador I was the
Speaker 3: same way like Brad went to the Brad went to
Speaker 3: the referee, which is the captain. Good move. I mean,
Speaker 3: that's the rugby move too, for the captain to go
Speaker 3: to the ref. But the fact I was disappointed that
Speaker 3: I'm not saying somebody needs to go get sent off,
Speaker 3: but I'm disappointed that no one went up there and
Speaker 3: put Surage back on the ground. Yep, you don't have
Speaker 3: to punch him, you don't have to cheap shot him.
Speaker 3: You you needed someone in that moment. The game's over,
Speaker 3: it's done, you're not doing anything, and then you have
Speaker 3: the team that's beating your ass to nothing in your
Speaker 3: house in a rivalry match, laying a cheap shot on
Speaker 3: your left back, and you don't do shit. No, No,
Speaker 3: somebody needs to go. You always say, like I said,
Speaker 3: you don't have to cheap shot him. You don't have
Speaker 3: to you don't have to pertusie him. I'm not saying that. No,
Speaker 3: but somebody go up there and put a shoulder in
Speaker 3: his ass, put him on the ground and stand over
Speaker 3: him and create a mass confrontation because you can't let
Speaker 3: somebody disrespect you or your team or your badge like that.
Speaker 3: That's right, I am.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, a couple of things in regards to the Rob
Speaker 2: Valentino job audition stuff like that. I actually think that
Speaker 2: it would be wise to not make a lot of changes.
Speaker 2: I don't think you can show emotion as a manager,
Speaker 2: and you're incredibly frustrated at the performancy. It feels like
Speaker 2: it would be an emotional decision, maybe not a well
Speaker 2: thought out analytic decision if you just make a bunch
Speaker 2: of changes because you're not happy with the way guys
Speaker 2: played on Saturday. And as we talked about previously too,
Speaker 2: for whatever reason, how guys play or perform, and either
Speaker 2: individually or as a team, one game to the next
Speaker 2: just doesn't seem to carry over, and you just don't
Speaker 2: know who is or isn't going to have it on
Speaker 2: a given night. And so I think trying to make
Speaker 2: and approach the roster, the lineup, the starting eleven, the
Speaker 2: reserves from from a more level headed mindset versus the
Speaker 2: emotions of what we saw Saturday is probably the only
Speaker 2: way to go. Oh for Rob Valentino, I mean, you're
Speaker 2: no longer in a timeline, and this is why I
Speaker 2: like the Luke Brendan discussion to me as a non starter,
Speaker 2: and I like Luke Brennan. It's got nothing to do
Speaker 2: with him. But you're not in a timeline where you
Speaker 2: can send a message to the team. You're in a
Speaker 2: timeline where you have to find a way to get points.
Speaker 2: And if you truly thought agreed that he was the
Speaker 2: way and best method to get points, then by all means,
Speaker 2: after thinking about it and considering it and calming down
Speaker 2: from Saturday, if you still think that's the best way
Speaker 2: to get points, then yes, make that change. But if
Speaker 2: you think it's sending a message to some of the
Speaker 2: other guys, some of the more veteran guys or whatever
Speaker 2: you want it to be. You just don't have the
Speaker 2: time to do that. You don't have a game to
Speaker 2: throw away, certainly not want at home, and so you've
Speaker 2: kind of got to gauge what you're doing with your subs.
Speaker 2: Is it a message to guys or is it the
Speaker 2: best way to get points? I think right now the
Speaker 2: best way to get points is still to go with
Speaker 2: the guys that, for better or worse, have gotten you
Speaker 2: where you are still fighting for a playoff spot, although
Speaker 2: I guess like everyone in the Eastern Conference is kind
Speaker 2: of still fighting for But but yeah, I think you
Speaker 2: do have to approach it a little bit more antical
Speaker 2: analytically and a little bit less emotionally. And so that's
Speaker 2: why you might see a new formation, as we mentioned,
Speaker 2: maybe five in the back of three center backs, stuff
Speaker 2: like that to cover up some things. But in terms
Speaker 2: of like mass changes or like a hockey substitute, I
Speaker 2: just I just don't see that happening because you don't
Speaker 2: have the time or the points to play around with
Speaker 2: it anymore.
Speaker 1: I know we kept you way past the fourth official
Speaker 1: holding up the lightboard, my friend, Well.
Speaker 2: They gave nine minutes. They gave nine minutes on Saturday.
Speaker 2: We get ten here to what's the difference.
Speaker 1: Okay, just checking. I didn't want you to get in
Speaker 1: any kind of trouble down there at Coliny Square, you know,
Speaker 1: as you're getting ready for your day and trying to
Speaker 1: stay properly hydrated. What's the plan between now and Wednesday?
Speaker 2: Just gear up, man, I mean, we're really excited for Wednesday. Look,
Speaker 2: I don't know if the little Man Lionel Messi is
Speaker 2: gonna be playing or not, but the potential of him
Speaker 2: playing has got me very excited. I've obviously never seen
Speaker 2: him play live in person. I'll watch plenty of it,
Speaker 2: but very excited for that. And so we're gonna bring
Speaker 2: it on Wednesday at six point thirty with the five
Speaker 2: stretch count dawn. We're certainly gonna bring it, hopefully with
Speaker 2: some good news actor with the full time report, and
Speaker 2: really just looking forward to getting the Mercedes Benz Stadium,
Speaker 2: just seeing how juiced up the fans are on Wednesday,
Speaker 2: Mike and Jason, I imagine they're gonna be juiced up
Speaker 2: as well, and then hopefully it's not just a total
Speaker 2: letdown either by performance of Atlanta or by Lionel Messi
Speaker 2: not stepping onto the field at all. I'd like to
Speaker 2: see him get out there at least for a little bit,
Speaker 2: maybe if it's even as a sub. But really excited
Speaker 2: about the potential of Wednesday. So we're just gonna build
Speaker 2: towards it and hopefully I'll help us move on from
Speaker 2: what potentially could happen tonight with the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and as like I said, Rich Ransom our resident Philadelphia,
Speaker 1: and he's like, yep, saw Messi and friends knock off
Speaker 1: his union, but now he's going to be watching the
Speaker 1: Eagles and the Falcons. Thanks as always, my friend for
Speaker 1: staying a little extra this morning. And we will catch
Speaker 1: up with you. We will see you Wednesday. We'll hear
Speaker 1: you Wednesday, and we'll catch up with you soon.
Speaker 2: Yep, sounds good. Appreciate you having me. We'll see you
Speaker 2: guys next week always.
Speaker 1: That's a at Abe Gordon. At Abe Gordon at nine
Speaker 1: two nine in the game and the point that you made,
Speaker 1: I want to circle back to the Amador point I was.
Speaker 3: I was standing behind the benches.
Speaker 1: I like pacing.
Speaker 2: I'm pacing back and.
Speaker 3: Forth behind the benches as this happens I'm so so irate.
Speaker 1: Still, well, you see now you almost pulled a Rob
Speaker 1: Valentino and dropped the drop the yeah, the predicate adjective
Speaker 1: there because Maddie was next to me and uh, you know,
Speaker 1: you had already departed. You were downstairs, and I was
Speaker 1: sitting next to Maddie waiting for for uh, you know,
Speaker 1: full time, and I see Amador and I make a
Speaker 1: point to go to Maddie and I said, look at this,
Speaker 1: and I point to the monitor because the monitor has
Speaker 1: uh in the press box has Apple TV, and it's
Speaker 1: about twenty five seconds behind real time. So you can
Speaker 1: gather yourself. You can look at something happen, and then
Speaker 1: you can look up at the monitor and you can
Speaker 1: see how Apple you know, broadcasts it in their in
Speaker 1: their in their broadcast. And I literally look at Surage
Speaker 1: climb the ladder and clear Amador out with his with
Speaker 1: his right but like I said, with his arm, clear
Speaker 1: Amador out. Then Amador hits face first, and Surage has
Speaker 1: the how do we the fortitude to grab his head
Speaker 1: when nothing happened to it In that particular instance, I
Speaker 1: was waiting for somebody to at least give some kind
Speaker 1: of I'm not gonna call it payback, because payback would
Speaker 1: mean that, uh you know, you send our what is it?
Speaker 1: You send ours to the hospital, We send yours to
Speaker 1: the morgue. I was looking for some kind of recognition
Speaker 1: from individuals about what happened to your left back, and
Speaker 1: short of and sort of Brad going to the official
Speaker 1: I saw none in pars.
Speaker 3: Okay, if I'm down there again, I will come say hi.
Speaker 3: Uh so, uh the back. The background of this is that,
Speaker 3: uh so Garrett wasn't there. I was going to do
Speaker 3: postgame comments with Rob, like just the walk off interview.
Speaker 3: Uh Rob dipto us like, so this this interview is
Speaker 3: not a league mandated thing. It's not like it's not
Speaker 3: like an NFL interview where like if you skip out,
Speaker 3: you get fined by the PA. It's just kind of
Speaker 3: that walk off. Rob like was like visibly irate, not
Speaker 3: necessarily at the door thing alone. Oh I'm sure that
Speaker 3: didn't help, but he was he was. I don't know
Speaker 3: if if y'all haven't heard the postgame presser, he's he's
Speaker 3: seething with anger, but almost at a loss for words.
Speaker 3: Because after the Charlotte game and a two week break
Speaker 3: to build up for this. He was pretty adamant. He
Speaker 3: didn't see this coming, the lack of fight, like, and
Speaker 3: they started to kind of like after they got their
Speaker 3: bell rung in the first ten minutes, I thought maybe
Speaker 3: they'll grow into it, and they just never did. I
Speaker 3: think he was just irate. He's like, you know, he's like,
Speaker 3: we we do all this prep to get ready for games.
Speaker 3: He's like, and guys have to go out there and play.
Speaker 3: They have to go out there and do the job.
Speaker 3: And they didn't. Like, dude, they just didn't at the
Speaker 3: other night, he just like he when he did, he
Speaker 3: does his lap around the field. If you ever watched
Speaker 3: post game robill do a lap around the field and
Speaker 3: to plow the fans and thank them for coming out.
Speaker 3: But then he got back to the tunnel and he
Speaker 3: went on a jog down that tunnel to the locker room,
Speaker 3: walked right in that locker room and closed the door,
Speaker 3: which minute was closed for all the access. And I'm
Speaker 3: assuming the Riot Act was read. But this is a
Speaker 3: thing that I was It's the thing stressed when Gonzalo
Speaker 3: Pina was fired, like didn't fix everything, and it very
Speaker 3: clearly didn't fix everything. You have deeper seated issues that
Speaker 3: need to be dealt with because you fired a manager.
Speaker 3: We've got something of a bounce, not bounce but not
Speaker 3: really like there's still there's wont two issues here, Yeah,
Speaker 3: because yeah, like we're standing on the bench, I'm watching
Speaker 3: these hits like the hit on on the door, and
Speaker 3: like I said, you don't have to go get a
Speaker 3: red card and kick him. I'm not saying that, not
Speaker 3: saying you go start a fall on fistfight, but you
Speaker 3: gotta come up and body up on him, either knocking down,
Speaker 3: get in his face, do something, or you got to
Speaker 3: get in honey Mooktar's face. Who's I think. I think
Speaker 3: honey Worth's the armband or no Zimmerman excuse me. Yeah,
Speaker 3: you gotta get in Zimmerman's face or Haney's face. You
Speaker 3: got to get in some even if Surgage is on
Speaker 3: the ground, you gotta get in someone else's face. And
Speaker 3: you gotta make it an issue. You gotta like, if
Speaker 3: they ask you want to make something about it, you say, yeah,
Speaker 3: let's go. You gotta make it an issue. You gotta
Speaker 3: stand up for your teammates in that moment. I don't
Speaker 3: care if you're losing to nothing at home to arrival.
Speaker 3: That sucks. You put yourself in that position with the
Speaker 3: way you played. I need you to reach down and
Speaker 3: make sure you got a pair of balls, because when
Speaker 3: you are letting your teammates get trucked like that and
Speaker 3: your goalkeeper comes out to yell at the ref about
Speaker 3: why the REDACTA isn't that a foul? What the hell
Speaker 3: are you not protecting my guys? For goalkeeper can only
Speaker 3: do so much. It's kind of one of those things
Speaker 3: of having the arm band on your goalkeeper sometimes where
Speaker 3: they're not able to really get into the mix and
Speaker 3: the fray of it all. Yeah, it's you gotta you
Speaker 3: gotta show each you got to pick up each other,
Speaker 3: and it's it's some of it's that, some of its
Speaker 3: you gotta show everyone. You gotta show everybody that they
Speaker 3: that that you are not to be yeah, that you
Speaker 3: were there, that you were not to be screwed with.
Speaker 3: You gotta be willing to fight and to bleed. I
Speaker 3: didn't see another of that, and it was really disappointing
Speaker 3: because it should have been more like you. It should
Speaker 3: have been more of a there should have been more
Speaker 3: fight there, and I was really disappointed by that. Lack
Speaker 3: of fight from the team, and then you know the
Speaker 3: game notwithstanding, you know, you're when it was one nothing,
Speaker 3: you know, you get one thing that got me was
Speaker 3: the when when Steon gets hurt, and Steon's wasn't malicious.
Speaker 3: He goes up, tries to win a ball. He wins
Speaker 3: all over till Bunberry and I think he his chin
Speaker 3: catches Bunberry and cuts open. And you know, your face
Speaker 3: has a bunch of blood vessels near the circle. So
Speaker 3: it's one of those things. You get cut on the
Speaker 3: face or the top of the head, it can be
Speaker 3: a very shallow cut and it will bleed a lot, Yeah,
Speaker 3: and it can look a lot worse than it is.
Speaker 3: Nothing malicious on either one of them. He's just he
Speaker 3: sky's Bunberry and I think he just kind of cuts
Speaker 3: his chin open.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Bunberry seemed like he was okay, which is good because
Speaker 3: he got hit on the top of the head, so
Speaker 3: I mean, hopefully he was not concussed in the process
Speaker 3: and hopefully he was all right. Yeah, but you at
Speaker 3: that moment, you had what amounted to a timeout, like
Speaker 3: a water break timeout, because they're working the like Brad's
Speaker 3: over there with a towel with the trainers making sure
Speaker 3: that Steon's not gonna bleed all over the field. You
Speaker 3: had a verified I'm out basically where half the team
Speaker 3: is standing over on the bench. And you know, I
Speaker 3: told Maddie at the time, I said, this feels like
Speaker 3: it's it's just like a water break. You have ten
Speaker 3: minutes left in the first half. This is that moment
Speaker 3: where you can kind of recollect yourself, get locked in
Speaker 3: and see if you can make something happen in those
Speaker 3: last ten minutes. Instead, you gave up a goal that
Speaker 3: got called back for offside. Correctly, it's correctly called back, yes,
Speaker 3: but you ended up giving up a ball in the
Speaker 3: back of your net instead. And man, dude, I don't man,
Speaker 3: I don't know. It's it is maddening watching them play
Speaker 3: like they did against Charlotte, which Charlotte's got it. Sidey
Speaker 3: Charlotte all you want as well, because Charlotte looked like
Speaker 3: dog water against Atlanta. Yeah, that should have been more
Speaker 3: than one nil. Kalino was outstanding. If we go back two.
Speaker 1: Weeks copy paste.
Speaker 3: But they didn't look great the other night either. Charlotte's
Speaker 3: Charlotte's in a decent enough spot though, where they really
Speaker 3: would need to like collapse for another two weeks before
Speaker 3: they start getting really scared because they did work in
Speaker 3: the summer to put themselves in a good spot. Yeah,
Speaker 3: imagine the concept right now. But you did that where
Speaker 3: you looked great, you were sound, and then it just
Speaker 3: wasn't there the other night, and yeah, man, like the
Speaker 3: first goal is that we've seen that happen and you'll
Speaker 3: see that happening games where like when a cross is
Speaker 3: overcooked and then you get the cross coming back, it
Speaker 3: can be really tricky to deal with because when you're
Speaker 3: defending a cross and it goes the other way, you're
Speaker 3: kind of at a position to deal with the countercross
Speaker 3: coming the other way and you have to kind of
Speaker 3: reset and give flowers to Alex Mweel who takes that
Speaker 3: out of the air on the fly and gets it right.
Speaker 3: It's a really good finish from mu Will, who I
Speaker 3: did not know he had that in his bag. I
Speaker 3: don't know if he has it in his bag again
Speaker 3: or not. That might be one of those Wow, that
Speaker 3: was amazing, How did I do that? But given credit
Speaker 3: for it and then yeah, you just you just didn't
Speaker 3: show anything the rest of the way man, it was Yeah,
Speaker 3: it was just it was disappointing that you showed up
Speaker 3: like that with a rival coming to town. We talked
Speaker 3: about Nashville's trying to change the wea they're playing. Look
Speaker 3: they did, and you're gonna have those rough patches. They
Speaker 3: had a not rough patch the other night, and some
Speaker 3: of that is Atlanta not playing well and not looking
Speaker 3: like they really were up for it, which is again,
Speaker 3: it's a rival in your building. You can't not be
Speaker 3: up for it. That's not acceptable under any circumstances. Is
Speaker 3: that acceptable. But credit Nashville too at the same time,
Speaker 3: because while they're trying to build something new and trying
Speaker 3: to rework something. When you're in that process, you're gonna
Speaker 3: get situations like, hey, you played that passage on the piano,
Speaker 3: and you played it right that time while you're learning it.
Speaker 3: And they played it right Saturday night and they got
Speaker 3: They earned a two nil win, and Atlanta didn't earn
Speaker 3: anything other than frustration and scoring right now, and they
Speaker 3: have a very short time to turn that around. Even
Speaker 3: in postgame comments, Rob was I think kind of going
Speaker 3: through the usual cliches and was very blunt about you know,
Speaker 3: it's like I know it's these are the cliche things
Speaker 3: to say, but you do have to burn the tape
Speaker 3: because you do play like we can sit here, you
Speaker 3: and I can sit here and talk about the issues,
Speaker 3: and we can do it until hell Wednesday morning. Yeah,
Speaker 3: we can talk about that game.
Speaker 1: They can't.
Speaker 3: They have to immediately like Sunday is a region day,
Speaker 3: and then Monday get out there and like looking at
Speaker 3: film for Miami, looking at anything that might have changed,
Speaker 3: and be ready to go for Wednesday night. Because if
Speaker 3: they're thinking about Saturday on Wednesday, they're gonna ship seven
Speaker 3: goals to Miami.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and that's the key here in all of this.
Speaker 1: Bark Killer is going to join us about five minutes
Speaker 1: for his normal visit. Uh, you've got to You've got
Speaker 1: to how have I phrased this in the past. You
Speaker 1: have to. You have to flush it, but not forget it,
Speaker 1: if that makes any sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, pretty much. And the pars Honey is just honey.
Speaker 3: Honey isn't the same player he was three years ago.
Speaker 3: He can still be very dangerous, as he showed you
Speaker 3: when he scored that goal. Haney also throws himself on
Speaker 3: the ground the way that people accused Barko of doing
Speaker 3: all the time. Yeah, and Barco would go down easy.
Speaker 3: Barco also got his ass beat at times. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: Honey Mooktar like the foul that he picked up going
Speaker 3: into the going into the final third, just outside the
Speaker 3: box where he it's hip where he gets hit like
Speaker 3: bumped on the hip hip to hip contact with I
Speaker 3: think it was ste On. It's like a hip to
Speaker 3: hip contact. And then Hanni just throws himself down slight
Speaker 3: goes on a slipping slide for ten feet and all
Speaker 3: it tooks out Derek Williams in the process when he
Speaker 3: throws himself down was disgraceful. Man like Hannie is still
Speaker 3: good enough on the dribble and low key. One of
Speaker 3: my favorite battles to watch that night the other night
Speaker 3: was him and Jay because it's a couple of times
Speaker 3: he cooked j in the midfield, and there's a couple
Speaker 3: of times Jay didn't like completely lock him down or
Speaker 3: put him in hell, but Jay's slowed him down to
Speaker 3: where he couldn't trigger a counter and he had to
Speaker 3: play it back, which is what you can what you
Speaker 3: do with Honey Mutar. He's so good on the counter,
Speaker 3: getting him to not turn on you and not start
Speaker 3: running at everybody is a victory and that was a
Speaker 3: fun battle to watch. Like, Jay worked his ass off,
Speaker 3: got burned a couple times by a great player, other
Speaker 3: times forced him to give it up, which is what
Speaker 3: you needed him to do in those moments. Yeah, that
Speaker 3: was really annoying. But again, none of that changes the
Speaker 3: fact that they just didn't look like they were up
Speaker 3: for a rivalry game in your building against a team
Speaker 3: that is mostly dead but not We're not to the
Speaker 3: point where you can look through his pockets for loose change,
Speaker 3: but he is mostly dead, and you kept them alive.
Speaker 3: Of the games you have left, this was this was
Speaker 3: this was your easiest one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think that one and may impossibly Montreal.
Speaker 3: Maybe Montreal squirrely too.
Speaker 1: When they lose, they lose big when they play it's
Speaker 1: not Suputo, it's entirely it's going to.
Speaker 3: Be so weird and annoying and stressful when atlant if
Speaker 3: if and when Atlanta beats Miami Wednesday night, because yeah, man,
Speaker 3: like again they have two of the funniest results of
Speaker 3: the year. The Columbus went at home missing everybody and
Speaker 3: their mother, and then the way in Miami with everybody
Speaker 3: with Gonzo's Back against the Wall where you went down
Speaker 3: there and you just beat Miami or death with a
Speaker 3: bike chain.
Speaker 1: For ninety minutes.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it would be very much like the oh, so
Speaker 3: you're going to play down to your competition and then
Speaker 3: up to your competition kind of thing. If they come
Speaker 3: out Wednesday night and pull three points off Miami, man,
Speaker 3: we'll see different teams got to show up.
Speaker 1: H Let's see Mike mentions this morning on the two
Speaker 1: hundred and eighty character app in addition to everything else
Speaker 1: that Mike says, and he admits, and this is as
Speaker 1: of about twenty minutes ago, says he hasn't seen this
Speaker 1: anywhere else, but he believes that Messi and Friends will
Speaker 1: be without Thomas Avils and Sergei Busquet's Wednesday because of
Speaker 1: yellow card accumulation. So add that to anyone and everyone
Speaker 1: that we have been discussing that played ninety minutes see Messi, Comma,
Speaker 1: Lionel and Suarez Kama Luiz. And he said Gomez played
Speaker 1: eighty Rodondo when he was in played almost the full
Speaker 1: ninety He got the token, He got the token eighty
Speaker 1: ninth minute substitution. Let's see two four played eighty one minutes,
Speaker 1: so you maxed out your guys. You maxed out your minutes.
Speaker 1: David Martinez only played fifteen, but you know, obviously he
Speaker 1: was removed. They're going to keep an eye on him
Speaker 1: for injury. And Marcela Wagant played the full ninety So basically,
Speaker 1: I think nine of the eleven guys that you played
Speaker 1: were in that eighty to ninety minute run from your
Speaker 1: starting eleven. So how much of that you know means
Speaker 1: that you're going to come in here with a rotated
Speaker 1: side on Wednesday night? We will see news also out
Speaker 1: of inter Miami this morning is uh, I don't what
Speaker 1: the hell? Before Bart gets here, I'll go ahead and
Speaker 1: give it to I'll give I'll give it this considering
Speaker 1: that it is a fairly large piece of information, So
Speaker 1: we'll go ahead. Messi and friends got smart. Benja Kroumowski
Speaker 1: is signed to a contract extension through twenty seven, club
Speaker 1: option for twenty eight, currently in his second season with
Speaker 1: the club after signing his first professional contract. The fifth
Speaker 1: Inter Miami CF Academy product to sign for the first
Speaker 1: team since November of twenty two. Chris Henderson got his sentence,
Speaker 1: Kromoski got his sentence nineteen years old, joined in August
Speaker 1: to twenty twenty one and first team first seasons fifty
Speaker 1: nine appearances all comp six goals, nine assists, start at
Speaker 1: the U seventeen level, GA Cup Semi MLS next All
Speaker 1: Star nod and so you also have him getting a
Speaker 1: US M and T duty back in September of twenty three.
Speaker 1: By making his USM and T debut, becomes the first
Speaker 1: player to complete the player development Pathway MLS next Next
Speaker 1: Pro Major League Soccer. Also the youngest member on the
Speaker 1: USA's roster. In Paris he U nineteen men's youth national
Speaker 1: team Slovenia Nation's Cup triumph in September twenty two. So
Speaker 1: Kroumowski signed to a contract extension through twenty seven with
Speaker 1: an option for twenty eight.
Speaker 3: Well, good for him, not my problem right now. I
Speaker 3: got bigger problems to deal with with this roster than
Speaker 3: worrying about Ben Kromowski getting a contract extension. Sorry, I'm
Speaker 3: really trying to keep us off of a explicit rating
Speaker 3: as much as I can run.
Speaker 1: Now, you already hit it, so there's no so whatever.
Speaker 1: You already hit it this morning.
Speaker 3: I don't care. I don't really give a damn who
Speaker 3: shows up Wednesday night from Miami. Yeah, he doesn't matter
Speaker 3: to me right now. What matters is that the team
Speaker 3: that shows up in the red and black stripes I'm assuming,
Speaker 3: unless they're wearing the unless they roll out the third
Speaker 3: the second kit, or they tease the Marta thing and
Speaker 3: they drop a Marta kit on us. Whoever shows up
Speaker 3: in that kit for the home team, I need it
Speaker 3: to be a different team than the one that showed
Speaker 3: up Saturday night. I needed to be more like the
Speaker 3: team that showed up in Charlotte. And frankly, I need
Speaker 3: a little bit of Charlotte in him. Go back a
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago. I need to go back a
Speaker 3: couple of weeks ago, not to in Atlanta played Charlotte,
Speaker 3: but when Charlotte was playing a game, somebody got clipped
Speaker 3: and actually Westwood looked like he was gonna absolutely disembowel
Speaker 3: somebody and put him in a blood eagle.
Speaker 1: And you need that.
Speaker 3: You don't need somebody, like I said, we don't need
Speaker 3: somebody to go out here and get people injured. But
Speaker 3: you gotta have somebody stick the chest down there and
Speaker 3: be willing to.
Speaker 1: Go remind them that you are their teammate that you
Speaker 1: are there. You are sticking up for your teammate. If
Speaker 1: it's an extended index finger in somebody's face, if it
Speaker 1: is colorful metaphors and elevated voices. Yeah, that's what we're
Speaker 1: hunting for our number two. And since it is a Monday,
Speaker 1: that means that it's time for Bart Keeler to drop
Speaker 1: in because we got a lot of stuff to talk
Speaker 1: about with Bart. First off, Barbar.
Speaker 3: Put John before we start. Sure, we are going to
Speaker 3: put an embargo for Bart's sake on a certain school
Speaker 3: south of Pennsylvania. So we're gonna let's put an embargo
Speaker 3: on that right now. Bart's had a bad enough week
Speaker 3: on that front.
Speaker 4: Did I drunkenly email the lumni Association and athletic department
Speaker 4: to cancel the donations I had made that week?
Speaker 5: Yes?
Speaker 3: Wow, so well, embargo the redacted place South South Pence Spaniel.
Speaker 1: You can just.
Speaker 3: Problems without that.
Speaker 1: Wow, Bart, you sound like you're still attempting to recover
Speaker 1: from a brawl. Comma backyard.
Speaker 5: John, My soul is broken.
Speaker 3: Coaching.
Speaker 5: I didn't even have watched the United game on Saturday.
Speaker 1: Neil Brown's the head coach.
Speaker 3: No I know, but it did.
Speaker 1: Oh, pat Nardo, is Nordoozy still there?
Speaker 3: I feel like they've had the same coach. I feel
Speaker 3: like Nordoozy has been there since Dave Wanstad left.
Speaker 5: They had Oh crap, not Todd Graham.
Speaker 1: God to Todd Graham.
Speaker 3: Well, I would imagine it's not Todd Graham. Because it
Speaker 3: was Todd Graham, this program might have shut down.
Speaker 1: Well well, and Todd would have left.
Speaker 5: I think he did leave.
Speaker 1: What it's just basically Todd Graham goes in for a
Speaker 1: year coach anyway. Yeah, Well, I.
Speaker 5: Mean my soul is not in a great place this morning.
Speaker 4: That's why I sound like I'm still recovering. Also, my
Speaker 4: voice is a little yeah, because I was busy yelling
Speaker 4: at a certain income poop who managed to.
Speaker 5: Again break my soul.
Speaker 1: So Todd Graham, Keith Patterson, Paul Chris, Joe, Rudolph, patn
Speaker 1: or Doozy, I do a coach.
Speaker 4: A year for the good decade. Yeah, but Arsenal beat Tottenham.
Speaker 4: That's great.
Speaker 1: Well, we got we got some roughing down here to
Speaker 1: talk about that one we do as a part of
Speaker 1: the discussion. But no, but first thing that I wanted
Speaker 1: to go into with you, this morning is involving the
Speaker 1: the the promotional walk that was had at WBD the
Speaker 1: WBD Glass in cased building in New York's where it
Speaker 1: is now officially official. The US men's national team have
Speaker 1: a new head coach, and we have not had you
Speaker 1: on since that promotional walk and subsequent press conference. Now
Speaker 1: that Mercia Pochettino is here, he is officially official. All
Speaker 1: of the Chelsea based contract elements have been apparently sorted
Speaker 1: and signed, and so now Mercy of Pochettino, the worst
Speaker 1: kept secret and all of international soccer, is now nine
Speaker 1: ann and now part of the US soccer community. Let's
Speaker 1: say you Bart Keeler, well.
Speaker 4: I thought you heard a lot of similar things to
Speaker 4: what you would have heard and a Greg Burhalter conference,
Speaker 4: but you also heard a lot of different ideas but
Speaker 4: also framing of some concepts. You know, look, I don't
Speaker 4: think it's I don't think it's going to be a
Speaker 4: drastic change in how this team plays. You know, it'll
Speaker 4: still be a team that wants to have the ball.
Speaker 4: How they get that ball will be a little different.
Speaker 5: You know, he.
Speaker 4: Emphasized a lot of running off the ball, both defensively
Speaker 4: and offensively, and I think that specifically will.
Speaker 5: Be a key change is we've.
Speaker 4: Grown accustomed to seeing the US national team be stagnant
Speaker 4: in possession and seem like they're out of ideas, and
Speaker 4: that to me comes from a lack of off ball
Speaker 4: movement for your teammates. And so that in particular could
Speaker 4: be an immediate change that unlocks the athleticism and fitness
Speaker 4: levels that American players have and uses them in a
Speaker 4: positive way. But he seems to you know, there's a
Speaker 4: reason he's been a very successful coach at a lot
Speaker 4: of big clubs is because he understands what he believes
Speaker 4: and how to communicate that to the players. And you know,
Speaker 4: it sounds again, there are some things he said that
Speaker 4: were similar to what Greg Burholter would say, but they
Speaker 4: sound different and they are framed differently. And then there's
Speaker 4: a lot of different things that he mentioned and those
Speaker 4: are what I'm hoping that we can see.
Speaker 5: Bear out in the these next two windows.
Speaker 1: Jared with bart on the national team, anything in your
Speaker 1: mind from the signings and.
Speaker 3: So, yeah, I guess what's your I guess runway with
Speaker 3: this where you're kind of is what's the runway like
Speaker 3: in terms of, Hey, there might be some bumps in
Speaker 3: the road while we get everything installed, while people get acclimated,
Speaker 3: that sort of thing. You know, what's what's your runway
Speaker 3: here with like how comfort how how long you're comfortable
Speaker 3: with just kind of maybe hiccups for lack of a
Speaker 3: better word. I know, we're two years out from a
Speaker 3: World Cup, so we only have so much time.
Speaker 4: Well, I think, you know, he said himself that they're
Speaker 4: not going to make excuses and they're not going to
Speaker 4: you know, look at this and say, oh, well, we
Speaker 4: don't have the time, And he said there is time,
Speaker 4: so he wants us to hold them to that standard.
Speaker 4: But you know, I think you have two friendlies in
Speaker 4: October where it will probably be a little rough to
Speaker 4: watch the team figure out what they're supposed to do.
Speaker 5: At given times during the game. But again, I don't
Speaker 5: think that.
Speaker 4: There will be a drastic change from what we were
Speaker 4: trying to do with Burhalter versus what we were trying
Speaker 4: to will be trying to do with Bunchettino. I do
Speaker 4: think there will be key points of emphasis that are different,
Speaker 4: and I think those are the things that Pouch in
Speaker 4: the immediate time frame can communicate with the team and
Speaker 4: say look, this, this, this is great, but this is
Speaker 4: what I want you to do, or these are the
Speaker 4: things you need to be worried about off the ball
Speaker 4: and on the ball. But then you know, in November
Speaker 4: you get into Nations League, and as much as we
Speaker 4: joke about playing a Caribbean country in the middle of November,
Speaker 4: Greg Burhalter's team struggled against these early round Nations League's
Speaker 4: opponents in this kind of secondary tier in Conca calf
Speaker 4: And you know you don't have the runway to screw
Speaker 4: up there because you need to be in that Nation's
Speaker 4: League final come March. Because you know the amount of
Speaker 4: truly competitive matches.
Speaker 5: Is very low going into the next.
Speaker 4: World Cup, and you need to use these as preparation
Speaker 4: to be able to, you know, respond when a team
Speaker 4: that is playing for something comes out and hits you
Speaker 4: in the mouth. Because we saw that happen in Copa America,
Speaker 4: where a team that was playing for something and playing
Speaker 4: with some passion that our team clearly didn't have. You know,
Speaker 4: when they came out and punched us in the mouth.
Speaker 4: We took that and stepped back a few steps and
Speaker 4: didn't really have a response. So those are important games
Speaker 4: because we know that those teams, and this is something
Speaker 4: he also touched on in the press conference. Those teams
Speaker 4: come to compete, they come to fight, and they come
Speaker 4: with passion every game. And if those aren't exist, if
Speaker 4: those don't exist within the team every single time they
Speaker 4: step foot on the field, which they have not under
Speaker 4: Greg Burholter, and I think he is very much to
Speaker 4: blame for that, despite people's wanting to blame players. Yes,
Speaker 4: Greg never approached a friendly as a do or die situation,
Speaker 4: and to be quite honest, from the sounds of the
Speaker 4: press conferences leading up, he did not approach Copo America
Speaker 4: as a do or die situation. And you know, the
Speaker 4: Argentinian desperation, the Argentinian passion hopefully translates from Pochettino to
Speaker 4: the US ben national team.
Speaker 1: Looking at just some of the quick quotes from the
Speaker 1: opportunity football is to touch the right button and start
Speaker 1: to perform. And we need to really believe in achieving
Speaker 1: big things. We need to believe that we can win,
Speaker 1: that we can win, not only a game, that we
Speaker 1: can win the World Cup. End quote. And she said
Speaker 1: players are so intelligent and so talented, they can play
Speaker 1: in a different way. For sure, I think we have
Speaker 1: time to integrate whatever philosophy that Mercy Pochettino wants. He says,
Speaker 1: the circumstances after the Copo America situation weren't good for
Speaker 1: the players to manage in the last two games. But
Speaker 1: the most important thing is to see the potential that
Speaker 1: we have. I see very good players end quote. I
Speaker 1: send the message to every single player around the world,
Speaker 1: they have the door open. Considering that no MLS players
Speaker 1: saw COPA action, and twenty three to the twenty six
Speaker 1: were European based, Cade Col the late replacement for Geo Rena,
Speaker 1: the only Mexico based US player called into the last
Speaker 1: three camps. So obviously Pochattino's trying to hit the right
Speaker 1: buttons in the press conference. He's trying to win the
Speaker 1: press conference by saying things that folks want to hear.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 4: Absolutely, he he's experienced this.
Speaker 5: He's been at a lot of clubs.
Speaker 4: And you know he's that That's why I do think
Speaker 4: that to an extent, it is he's going to say
Speaker 4: the right things and say them in the right way
Speaker 4: because there's a reason he got hired at places like Tottenham,
Speaker 4: like PSG, like like Chelsea. But the fact that he
Speaker 4: for the most part, has been able to take what
Speaker 4: he says in a press conference and then apply that
Speaker 4: and communicate That.
Speaker 5: Is different than I can think again that we had
Speaker 5: with the.
Speaker 4: Guy previous because and I'm sorry, like it's just I'm
Speaker 4: not trying to make Grete to be this terrible coach,
Speaker 4: because your clusion is a terrible coach. Greg Burholter is
Speaker 4: just wasn't doing his job well this past cycle.
Speaker 1: The recency attachment is where you are with your discussion.
Speaker 4: But the yeah, but the reality is, John, we had
Speaker 4: to make a stark decision after the Copa America tournament
Speaker 4: to move on from the guy who, in theory was
Speaker 4: hired to get us to the next World Cup. So
Speaker 4: you are going to compare them, and again I just
Speaker 4: think I go back to the idea of intensity and urgency,
Speaker 4: where he talks about, you know, we're not here to play,
Speaker 4: we're here to compete, talking about the players, talking more
Speaker 4: about the players, about how his coaching staff will be
Speaker 4: evaluating them from day one.
Speaker 5: You know, nothing is not No opportunity to.
Speaker 4: Evaluate players' ability to compete and perform in a match
Speaker 4: is going unused.
Speaker 5: And hopefully that translates to actual winning.
Speaker 4: And I think if any US fan will tell you
Speaker 4: that sometimes winning isn't even enough. You know, beating for
Speaker 4: Rendidad by the skinning your teeth and a two legged
Speaker 4: tie isn't enough. You know, Barely qualifying for the twenty
Speaker 4: twenty two World Cup by finishing third is not enough.
Speaker 4: If you're gonna beat the big dog in the region,
Speaker 4: you need to dominate the region. And hopefully this mentality,
Speaker 4: these minor adjustments to this playing style can.
Speaker 1: Help Bart Keeler hanging out with us at Bartamus Prime
Speaker 1: nineteen for the Soccer for us PO D at Soccer
Speaker 1: for the Soccer for US pod at Soccer for us
Speaker 1: PO D on the two hundred and eighty character app
Speaker 1: also on the table this morning. I do want to
Speaker 1: get into the late night that some of us had
Speaker 1: watching Activity Columbia. We will get into that. We've also
Speaker 1: got some reffing down here for Bart and Bart. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna try to keep you for fifteen minutes so you
Speaker 1: don't completely and totally blow out your will. I will
Speaker 1: try to keep you till ten thirty and just that
Speaker 1: way you can get into your your honey and diving
Speaker 1: into everything else Jared, anything else, on your mind US
Speaker 1: national team wise before we head to the youth national
Speaker 1: team and the chaos last night in Colombia.
Speaker 3: Yeah, so I know he left it open. So you know, look,
Speaker 3: everybody's on the table here. Any kind of off the
Speaker 3: wall names that you're looking at for people who are
Speaker 3: eligible who maybe have fallen out of favor to get
Speaker 3: back into the mix for the US national.
Speaker 4: Team, Yeah, I think the one that has the biggest
Speaker 4: I guess opportunity to get back into this group is
Speaker 4: maybe a Jordan p Fock, who has been playing really
Speaker 4: well at top level leagues for several seasons in a
Speaker 4: row and has just clearly not been favored by bir Right.
Speaker 4: And I'm not saying that he is definitively better than
Speaker 4: any of the strikers we've seen, but.
Speaker 5: He's clearly doing something right for club.
Speaker 4: And so a guy like that as someone who I
Speaker 4: think just can benefit from just different.
Speaker 5: Eyes looking at the playerpool.
Speaker 4: But I've said a whole long I mean, look, the
Speaker 4: reality is the playerpool is what the playerpool is. And
Speaker 4: if you don't think that Tim Way at Christian Polistic
Speaker 4: Geo Rena Weston McKenney, you know, if those guys aren't
Speaker 4: the best players we have. If Jedi Robinson and Serginio
Speaker 4: Desk aren't the two best fullbacks we have, then I
Speaker 4: don't know if I can. You're a reliable narrator in
Speaker 4: the story right now, because that's just the issue.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 4: There are going to be some French players that I
Speaker 4: think can benefit, you know, and and there might be
Speaker 4: guys who are currently.
Speaker 5: The team that get a little bit more priority.
Speaker 4: I'm thinking maybe a Luca Delatore, possibly Marlon Fosse. But
Speaker 4: at the same time, it's the player pools not going
Speaker 4: to just magically get better.
Speaker 1: You know.
Speaker 4: What we hope is the players who come into camp
Speaker 4: respond to what he's telling them and can.
Speaker 5: Execute better.
Speaker 1: For those that decided to stay up late and knew
Speaker 1: where to find it. FS two. The chaos that was
Speaker 1: happening last night in the tournament that is going on
Speaker 1: in Collie and various and sundry other cities, the U
Speaker 1: twenty World Cup. The US is now in the semis
Speaker 1: once again. Local love Jordan Dudley, Riley Jackson a part
Speaker 1: of this. The US was down to nil in the
Speaker 1: second half, and I would swear up and down that
Speaker 1: there were two chances for penalties to be called in
Speaker 1: the seventies in the eighties that were not so. Germany
Speaker 1: had a two zero league going into ninety plus The
Speaker 1: US scores at ninety plus seven. The US scores at
Speaker 1: ninety plus eight to equalize to send it to an
Speaker 1: extra thirty players just basically tried to survive and not
Speaker 1: to totally you know, cramp up. In that thirty minutes.
Speaker 1: It goes to PK's. US wins three to one in PKS,
Speaker 1: and the chaos that was there bordered on truthfully national
Speaker 1: team after dark. I mean, it was out of control
Speaker 1: last night. But the US makes it to the Semis
Speaker 1: in the U twenty Women's World Cup. Come back for
Speaker 1: the ages added and the way that it's being looked
Speaker 1: at its goals at ninety plus eight and ninety plus
Speaker 1: nine as opposed to ninety plus seven and ninety plus eight.
Speaker 1: So yeah, go ahead and go ahead and add to that.
Speaker 1: So ninety plus eight, ninety plus nine, you're down to nil,
Speaker 1: you tied it too, You go to PKS, you win
Speaker 1: in PKS, You're now in the semis. Holy ish, Yeah, well.
Speaker 5: Got a great point like this is.
Speaker 4: I mean, we got our we the second goal Germany
Speaker 4: scored was even late, right, I mean that was the
Speaker 4: thing that I wasn't able to I wasn't able to
Speaker 4: watch this game because I was flying back from Pittsburgh,
Speaker 4: which I will maintain as one of the most underrated
Speaker 4: cities in this country. And so I'm like, I'm able
Speaker 4: to keep up with it on Twitter and I'm getting
Speaker 4: the notifications I have landed.
Speaker 5: I'm on Marta like all these things.
Speaker 4: And.
Speaker 5: I did.
Speaker 4: I don't want say I had turned it off, but
Speaker 4: because I didn't, but like I was like, all right,
Speaker 4: well that sucks. But as my continual stance is, you know,
Speaker 4: the goal of these youth tournaments is to get there
Speaker 4: to show well. And with most youth tournaments, the crap
Speaker 4: shoot is a crap shoot. Make the knockouts and see
Speaker 4: what can happen. And hey, look, Germany is not a
Speaker 4: bad team. They clearly have talent, uh And you know
Speaker 4: from watching the highlights, it's not like the US got
Speaker 4: completely dominated. It's just the fact that Germany got a
Speaker 4: penalty kick called for them to Actually we saved one
Speaker 4: in the first half. And we'll talk about.
Speaker 5: That in just a second, because I want to talk.
Speaker 4: About that young lady. But that is to go back
Speaker 4: to a po Chattino for a second. He mentioned the
Speaker 4: US women multiple times in his press conference as being
Speaker 4: the model of how to compete, how to fight, how
Speaker 4: to win, and they showed that last night. Why this program, uh,
Speaker 4: you know, despite Tracy Kevin's coaching them, is finding ways
Speaker 4: to win games.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 4: I just I think'll be right about Tracy Kevins and
Speaker 4: I don't know why she's still employed. But I think
Speaker 4: the thing John is and this is where for all
Speaker 4: those who bemoaned somehow this talent was gone from the
Speaker 4: US team, this is one of the most professionally infused rosters.
Speaker 4: I think it's the most professionally infused roster we've ever
Speaker 4: sent to.
Speaker 5: Any these competition, in World Cup competition.
Speaker 4: And I think that was one of those things that
Speaker 4: shined last night is you saw players who understood what
Speaker 4: it meant to physically and mentally fight to get a
Speaker 4: result because they have to do that with their clip teams,
Speaker 4: right especially in NWSL, where you know, every week it
Speaker 4: seems like we have a new team that's out in
Speaker 4: and in the playoffs. There's a lot of stake in NWSL,
Speaker 4: and so that that to me was what came through
Speaker 4: last night and the quality and the determination of these players.
Speaker 1: And it's it was absolutely insane to see that match
Speaker 1: go the way that it did.
Speaker 4: Mean on that last goal was that sent Nora scored
Speaker 4: was was determination and grit.
Speaker 5: She just beat the goalkeeper to the wall.
Speaker 4: And again that that is talent, but that is desire,
Speaker 4: That is playing hard, playing.
Speaker 5: Through the whistle, and that was it was a wonderful comeback.
Speaker 5: And then we could talk about her. It's Teagan Why
Speaker 5: who not only.
Speaker 4: Saved the penalty in the game, yes, had the game
Speaker 4: winning safe after as you mentioned hometown girl Riley Jackson
Speaker 4: or the third penalty kick, but sealed it basically. But
Speaker 4: Tige and I had a fantastic game end goals.
Speaker 5: As a whole. She looks.
Speaker 4: I haven't been sold on her before this tournament, to
Speaker 4: be quite honest, mainly because it's hard, it's really hard
Speaker 4: to tell.
Speaker 5: And cocky cap competition. It just as I'm sorry, but
Speaker 5: she has balled out this World Cup in my opinion, And.
Speaker 4: Whoever ends up drafting her not drafting her anymore, who
Speaker 4: ever ends up signing her in NWSL or possibly abroad,
Speaker 4: I mean I think she would make it a team
Speaker 4: like nine Arsenal a thousand times better. She's gonna make
Speaker 4: a fan base very happy.
Speaker 1: It's it will be intriguing, to say the very least
Speaker 1: when it comes to what you're looking at. From the
Speaker 1: group that was there, it was. It has been a
Speaker 1: great watch to see them work their way through the
Speaker 1: tournament and getting into the semis. You know, that is
Speaker 1: that it's been. That's been a fun watch so far.
Speaker 1: All right, So seven minutes. Like I said, I'm gonna
Speaker 1: keep you to thirty so that way your voice doesn't die.
Speaker 1: There was some raffing down here this week, and one
Speaker 1: of them has to do with moments in the other
Speaker 1: match that you were paying attention to that has nothing
Speaker 1: to do with the backyard brawl, the possible kind of
Speaker 1: a backyard brawl. But yeah, true, that is absolute true.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 1: The NLD as it is either hashtag or you know,
Speaker 1: I like, if you're one of the cool kids and
Speaker 1: you refer to it, you know as the NLD the
Speaker 1: North London Derby, you have to do the finger pistols.
Speaker 5: Not to be confused with the NLDS.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no. That would be an early round
Speaker 1: of the playoffs. Arsenal knocking off Spurs one nil. Michael
Speaker 1: Arteta admitted that he lost sleep trying to figure out
Speaker 1: what his lineup was going to be. I'd like to
Speaker 1: thank him for the back line that he did construct
Speaker 1: because that really did help me out in fantasy this
Speaker 1: past week. I give him full credit for that. And
Speaker 1: I started Gabrielle the red card on the Urian Timber
Speaker 1: foul on Pedro Poro, contact with the ball, then contact
Speaker 1: with the player. The ref shows yell to Urian Timber,
Speaker 1: checked by var for a potential red it was waved
Speaker 1: off as no red card. And this goes off of
Speaker 1: the Curtis Jones Eves Busuma challenge about a year ago.
Speaker 1: But there are things that you look into account about
Speaker 1: force and getting to the ball first in contact with
Speaker 1: the player. Walk us through that.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I think specific to this incident you are looking
Speaker 4: at we can't judge intent, John, but you can kind
Speaker 4: of infer intent to play the ball right. And so
Speaker 4: this to me wasn't a red card worthy because this
Speaker 4: was within a natural action of play okay right. The
Speaker 4: player was in control of himself for the most part,
Speaker 4: while he may have been careless slash reckless with this challenge,
Speaker 4: he was in control, he was doing something within a
Speaker 4: normal play of the game.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: This was not serious foul play by any stretch, And
Speaker 4: that's just what we're looking for.
Speaker 5: If you look at this and go, yeah, that serious
Speaker 5: foul play.
Speaker 4: Was that something that was, you know, using his body
Speaker 4: to target inflict pain on another part of the other
Speaker 4: person's body. You know, just because there is a nasty
Speaker 4: challenge doesn't always mean that it's a red card. And
Speaker 4: I thought this was a decent example of just going
Speaker 4: through this step of okay, careless, yes, reckless absolutely serious
Speaker 4: foul play no, because it wasn't foul play, right, This
Speaker 4: was just well, yeah, you you miss timed to challenge.
Speaker 5: You may maybe miss aligned your challenge if you will.
Speaker 1: Your aim was off, the challenge was miss aligned.
Speaker 5: But this was not to me, This was just not
Speaker 5: an example of serious voul play. And so therefore it's
Speaker 5: not a red card.
Speaker 4: It's not dog so it's not any it's not any
Speaker 4: of those things, right, This is within the natural realm
Speaker 4: of playing soccer.
Speaker 1: Then the one of the other points that I wanted
Speaker 1: to discuss had to do with and we see this
Speaker 1: a lot where you will have a save made by
Speaker 1: a keeper and it's a parry or a push or
Speaker 1: what have you. The save is made by the keeper
Speaker 1: and it forces another outbound motion. He doesn't hang on
Speaker 1: to it. He's either pushing it parrying it. You know,
Speaker 1: it's a you know, a reflex action to push it
Speaker 1: away from the body. So you get that reflex action
Speaker 1: or the perry from the keeper and it goes into
Speaker 1: a player whose arms are away from the silhouette. And
Speaker 1: it's not just because on the rebound off of the
Speaker 1: save it hits an arm that's outside the silhouette. The
Speaker 1: handball no handball discussion comes up because while the player's
Speaker 1: hands are away from his body, it's not a natural position,
Speaker 1: but it's coming off of a goalkeeper save action. What's
Speaker 1: the idea there?
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, I think this is I think we had
Speaker 5: a handball discussion.
Speaker 4: Yeah, in the REV scheme that kind of fell under
Speaker 4: this as well, where yes, you want to have them
Speaker 4: not have you know, the arm outside the natural silhouette
Speaker 4: of the body. We are looking for if this is
Speaker 4: a relatively natural position for the arm if you're trying
Speaker 4: to play soccer, right, But we also do try to
Speaker 4: take into account a little bit the ability to.
Speaker 5: React or not be at fault of a weird deflection.
Speaker 1: Right. You know.
Speaker 4: The other thing that needs to be side is you
Speaker 4: cannot score directly from a handball.
Speaker 5: So if the attack, if this were you know, the
Speaker 5: attacker hitting their arm and then they score and you
Speaker 5: can't do that.
Speaker 4: So you know, there's there's obviously when the ball hits
Speaker 4: your hand from a short distance or a random deflection,
Speaker 4: unless you're the.
Speaker 5: Attacker who then scores.
Speaker 4: Yes, we're not really looking to call that because you
Speaker 4: have to allow for some You have to understand that
Speaker 4: the ball is going to hit you in random places
Speaker 4: on your body because it bounces randomly. Unfortunately, though it's
Speaker 4: a sphere, it does not always act in a logical manner.
Speaker 1: H Okay, So like I said, I just I wanted
Speaker 1: to run through those particular moments and get your thoughts
Speaker 1: on it on a on a purposefully shortened segment with you,
Speaker 1: because like I said, uh, if you don't have your pipes,
Speaker 1: then it doesn't help you out and having discussions with
Speaker 1: other folks doing.
Speaker 4: The pipes are there the uh're just tired John, the rest.
Speaker 1: The rest of the bodies kind of trying to catch up,
Speaker 1: but just tired, tired of playing the game, huh, tired
Speaker 1: of tired of being insane? Yeah, absolutely true. All right,
Speaker 1: so we will let you. We will let you go
Speaker 1: and get get in a morning nap or anything else
Speaker 1: that you need to do the honey and.
Speaker 5: At work currently, so that won't happen.
Speaker 1: Well, well, know what you need to do is you
Speaker 1: need to create like under the desk like George Costanza,
Speaker 1: what help do the same kind of a thing where
Speaker 1: you can kind of hollow out your desk and turn
Speaker 1: it into a living space so you can actually sit
Speaker 1: there and function and do more than one thing, and
Speaker 1: folks can sit there and wonder where you are. They
Speaker 1: open the door and they don't see you sitting at
Speaker 1: your desk, and you're like, you know, I'm underneath my desk.
Speaker 1: I'm actually having some fun, all right, So get back
Speaker 1: to work, my friend. My apologies about backyard brawl and
Speaker 1: the back and forth fourth quarter that I know probably
Speaker 1: took ten years off of your life. And we will
Speaker 1: catch up with you when we'll catch up with you,
Speaker 1: obviously in this sense next week and obviously if anything
Speaker 1: else happens when it comes to national team stuff or
Speaker 1: anything bat signal worthy we will catch back up with
Speaker 1: you soon, my friend, save the pipes and hollow out
Speaker 1: your desk and turn it into a Costanzo like setup.
Speaker 5: Well, y'all have a wonderful Monday, and remember that sports
Speaker 5: are just sports. I have to remind myself of that
Speaker 5: yesterday and today.
Speaker 1: Sports are just sports until they mean more all the time.
Speaker 5: All right, country, yea, right, we'll have a good one.
Speaker 1: All right, pretty good, Bart, Thank you, Bart Keeler. I
Speaker 1: didn't realize that Bart was at work, no wonder. He
Speaker 1: was kind of talking a little low, all right, So
Speaker 1: I was wondering about that. Now. It was, uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: So I didn't know that. I know that I'm guessing
Speaker 1: that Bart is in the office today because he was
Speaker 1: not in the office on Friday because he was flying
Speaker 1: to Pittsburgh to go see backyard Brawl. I think that's
Speaker 1: how that works, all right. So that's Bart, And once again,
Speaker 1: thanks to Bart, thanks to Jared, thanks to Abe, and
Speaker 1: now that we are in the final thirty five ish minutes,
Speaker 1: will they didn't even make it. They didn't make it
Speaker 1: to the sixth frame. I mean literally, it was Yeah,
Speaker 1: we got twos to talk about. And I know that
Speaker 1: you want to talk about hunt City, so that's a
Speaker 1: part of it too. We'll get into the twos discussion
Speaker 1: here in just a bit. Since since Will is discussing
Speaker 1: and wants to discuss spoilers in the Eastern Conference playoff
Speaker 1: race and that happened yesterday involving Landy United two and
Speaker 1: Huntsville City Football Club, you can go back and actually
Speaker 1: listen to our broadcast. You can go to our Mixler
Speaker 1: channel soccer down here dot mixler amixlr dot com and
Speaker 1: you can listen to our broadcast from it yesterday. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 1: one and two in regular time, one in four in pks, yes,
Speaker 1: so two for six total. I was thinking just specifically
Speaker 1: in the pkpks, so yeah, two for six in the game.
Speaker 1: So we'll get into that discussion. But I have yet
Speaker 1: to have opening kickoff with you, and I need to
Speaker 1: go and say hi to everybody and get to a
Speaker 1: couple of points that I do want to bookmark, because
Speaker 1: I was looking at the discussions that we were having
Speaker 1: and I want to bookmark them for tomorrow. So there
Speaker 1: are things that were brought up. I don't know if
Speaker 1: we'll have time to bring them up, and if I do,
Speaker 1: and if I don't, bring them up in their entirety. Then,
Speaker 1: so here's what I may do. I've got to do
Speaker 1: open any kickoff, I'll talk to twos, We'll go through
Speaker 1: the timeline, we'll say hi to everybody, we'll get what's
Speaker 1: going on. Champions League kicks back in tomorrow. We've also
Speaker 1: got the news of the morning where Manchester City is
Speaker 1: facing the inquisition, and we'll get into that too, So
Speaker 1: we'll get into the news of the am and like
Speaker 1: I said, if there's something that I feel we need
Speaker 1: to spend a lot of time on that's in the timeline,
Speaker 1: put a bookmark in it. We'll talk about it tomorrow
Speaker 1: because there was some stuff in there that I do
Speaker 1: want to talk about, but I think it's going to
Speaker 1: take longer than just sitting there and saying hi to
Speaker 1: everybody like we always do. So we'll do opening kickoff,
Speaker 1: We'll talk to twos because Will is here, We'll go
Speaker 1: through the timeline, say hi to everybody, and go through
Speaker 1: talking points. And then, like I said, if there's a
Speaker 1: long talking point, I want to save it. I want
Speaker 1: to talk about it, I want to address it, but
Speaker 1: I want to talk about it tomorrow long with the
Speaker 1: rest of Major League soccer, getting ready for Champions League
Speaker 1: and all that stuff. Okay, here we go opening kickoff
Speaker 1: brought to us by our friends, and now we're in
Speaker 1: thirty three minutes or an hour and thirty minutes in

Speaker 1: at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff Coffeeco dot Com. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: sit here and wave my hand before I wipe out
Speaker 1: the all right, So when we get to our friends
Speaker 1: at a line snur's corn a second, I have been
Speaker 1: fighting the seasonal and what my e n T refers
Speaker 1: to it as is a neurogenic cough, and what it
Speaker 1: is is that it is a cough that is attached
Speaker 1: basically to nothing. There are things that will happen and
Speaker 1: once liquid and the fancy thing is like when liquid
Speaker 1: goes down my throat, then what it will do is
Speaker 1: it will trigger something in my throat that will cause
Speaker 1: me to cough. There's nothing behind it. It's just like
Speaker 1: you know, it's like a drive by. It's like a
Speaker 1: liquid drive by, and the water or whatever will go
Speaker 1: through my throat and it'll hit a particular part of
Speaker 1: it and it will trigger my throat and I'll cough.
Speaker 1: And that's why you'll see me kind of mute sometimes,
Speaker 1: is because the liquid going and rubbing against part of
Speaker 1: my throat. And this is probably a little too much
Speaker 1: for this is E and T down here, and I
Speaker 1: apologize for that, but I'm getting to my point. Folks
Speaker 1: all around us every single day will always want the
Speaker 1: best for us, and we love them for it. And
Speaker 1: so I go to my E and T. I get
Speaker 1: a little treatment, and then I get a cold on
Speaker 1: top of my treatment, and so basically everything that I
Speaker 1: was working on degraded back to square one because I
Speaker 1: got a cold. And it's like my third summer cold
Speaker 1: this year, and it's the most summer colds I've had
Speaker 1: in probably like seventy five years. And so every single
Speaker 1: time I think I'm making progress, I end up getting
Speaker 1: a cold and everything regresses. So one of the folks
Speaker 1: on our TV on Friday nights is into the homeopathic
Speaker 1: remedies and things like that. So show of hands, how
Speaker 1: many of you, you know safe viewing and save listening,
Speaker 1: how many of you are going down the homeopathic route
Speaker 1: when it comes to remedies and fixes and cures and
Speaker 1: things like that. I want to know just because I
Speaker 1: know that this person on our TV crew, who is
Speaker 1: incredibly valuable and a fantastic soul, she goes down the
Speaker 1: homeopathic route and she swears by it, and she's, you know,
Speaker 1: she's doing very well. So she sees and she knows
Speaker 1: what's going on with me, and she's like, Okay, here's
Speaker 1: what you need to do. You need to go to
Speaker 1: uh do you do you have this health food store
Speaker 1: near you or this health food store near you? And
Speaker 1: I said, well, I have them both, and she says,
Speaker 1: we'll go to be. So I go to be, and
Speaker 1: what she is requested, what she has encouraged of me
Speaker 1: is to go and get oil of a regano. I'm
Speaker 1: not kidding. This is the homeopathic route that she has
Speaker 1: chosen for me. And she's like, Okay, go to the
Speaker 1: health food store, get oil of a regano and start
Speaker 1: using it. It will help you with your immune system
Speaker 1: and it will hopefully and it might even probably get
Speaker 1: rid of your cough. And I'm like, okay, I'm in.
Speaker 1: So I go to the health food store and I
Speaker 1: go and I get and I'm literally I'm texting back
Speaker 1: and forth with her. She's like, no, you need the
Speaker 1: liquid form. You don't need the pill form. So you
Speaker 1: get the liquid form with the dropper and all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. So I go and I go in
Speaker 1: and get it at the health food store. And so
Speaker 1: it says on the side of the bottle, you know,
Speaker 1: two to four drops and you can do it two
Speaker 1: to four times a day. Alex were getting there, So
Speaker 1: on her advice, I go and get the oil of oregano.
Speaker 1: And me being me and all of you knowing who
Speaker 1: I am, Alex brings up the key point. Didn't I
Speaker 1: tell her that a regano is too spicy for me?
Speaker 1: Frankly because oregano is not normally a part of anything
Speaker 1: that I may eat unless it's Italian food and it's
Speaker 1: a fancy Italian restaurant. I'm really not chasing oregano as
Speaker 1: a part of my day to day. So I am
Speaker 1: ill informed when it comes to oregano and it's level
Speaker 1: of spice. I take the first sampling of the oregano
Speaker 1: and drop it on the and it's got the dropper,
Speaker 1: and so I literally take the dropper and I I
Speaker 1: put four drops on my tongue straight out of the blox.
Speaker 1: It burned the ever love and ish out of my tongue,
Speaker 1: and it tasted like salt. I mean literally, it tasted
Speaker 1: like salt and pepper. And someone just dumped like salt
Speaker 1: and pepper onto my tongue and I was my eyes
Speaker 1: were watering. My eyes were absolutely watering. I put the
Speaker 1: oil of oregano directly on my tongue, not knowing what
Speaker 1: I was getting myself into, and I'm thinking, you know, regano,
Speaker 1: it might be a little I'm maybe I was confusing
Speaker 1: it with basil. I don't know. I was thinking that
Speaker 1: oregano wasn't going to be as spicy as it was.
Speaker 1: But literally, it felt like someone had just dumped a
Speaker 1: truckload of pepper on my tongue and there was nothing
Speaker 1: I could do about it. And so it's like I
Speaker 1: was I didn't have any drinks with me. I was
Speaker 1: in the car by myself, and I'm trying to figure
Speaker 1: out what have I gotten myself into. Then after I
Speaker 1: do that and tell her that I've gone to the
Speaker 1: health food store and picked up the oregano and explained
Speaker 1: what I've done, she sends me this note, and I'm
Speaker 1: going and I'm gonna do it verbatim from what she
Speaker 1: texted to me. I'm going to tell you verbatim what
Speaker 1: she said. Let me find it here. Uh all right,
Speaker 1: please dilute. She's a strong one. Do it day and
Speaker 1: night for the next four days, and once a day
Speaker 1: or week for preventative measures. And so I said, I
Speaker 1: did it straight on the tongue. Before reading this, you
Speaker 1: weren't kidding about the burn, because she says, put two
Speaker 1: to four drops in a cup, and this is what
Speaker 1: she told me before. But I didn't read it until
Speaker 1: after add a couple of water, drink it down. It
Speaker 1: could burn a little bit, it'll go away. Oil of
Speaker 1: oregano kills every thing, and I wouldn't be surprised if
Speaker 1: your cough goes away too. So she sent me that
Speaker 1: text before in the timeline in the Timeline of our lives,
Speaker 1: she sent me that text before I had purchased it
Speaker 1: and used it for the first time, so she warned
Speaker 1: me ahead of time, but I did not look at
Speaker 1: my phone until after I pulled out the dropper for
Speaker 1: the first time and went directly onto my person and
Speaker 1: did it that way. So I was wondering just how
Speaker 1: many of you go down the homeopathic group and what
Speaker 1: it looks like, you know, when you guys chase after
Speaker 1: these kinds of things. By the way, I'm chasing after
Speaker 1: something that flew into the office and I don't know
Speaker 1: how to get rid of it. So it's attracted to
Speaker 1: light sources. So yeah, So my adventures with Oregano, I
Speaker 1: thought we were going to be more like adventures with Basil,
Speaker 1: and it is not the case. So I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's helping. I think it is. I think I'm
Speaker 1: coughing less, but it's just it was a it was
Speaker 1: a walk down the homeopathic route that I did not
Speaker 1: anticipate taking, and I paid for it. And now that
Speaker 1: I'm having to put it in a glass and water
Speaker 1: and I'll swirl it around. Literally, you can smell the
Speaker 1: oregano when you're done. You can smell the oregano in
Speaker 1: the kitchen like a mile away. The boss is like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll try it too, but you literally, you come downstairs,
Speaker 1: you'd fake that left turned through our living room into
Speaker 1: the kitchen. You can smell the oregano the second that
Speaker 1: you hit the door, jam the doorframe. The second you
Speaker 1: walk into the kitchen, you know that one of us
Speaker 1: has done our four drops of oregano in our glass
Speaker 1: of water, and I mean still diluting it through the water.
Speaker 1: It still gets to my stomach and still get through
Speaker 1: my nose. So yes, Adventures with spicy spices that I
Speaker 1: didn't think were spicy that are supposed to help me out,
Speaker 1: I think are helping me out. But we'll see. And
Speaker 1: I didn't know how many others of you took the
Speaker 1: homeopathic route and used that as a way to help
Speaker 1: you through situations like mine. So there you go, Adventures
Speaker 1: will Spices. That's opening Kickoff brought to us. Buy our

Speaker 1: had a contract extension every time that he's like a
Speaker 1: ten win team at NC State, He's like, I don't know,
Speaker 1: people are interested. NC State signs him to Doe a deal.
Speaker 1: He's like gusmels on to the acc where I don't know,
Speaker 1: folks are interested. N C State's like, what can we
Speaker 1: do to keep you? And then they sign him to

Speaker 1: card morning, Will morning unk. Good to have you in
Speaker 1: this morning. And once again there's Alex okay, all right,
Speaker 1: we'll talk MLS next pro here a little bit since
Speaker 1: Will's in the timeline yesterday, Oh my god, it was
Speaker 1: chaos and the margins of error and you can listen
Speaker 1: to the full thing on the twos review on the Network.
Speaker 1: We caught up Maddy caught up with Ashton Gordon and
Speaker 1: with Steve Cook after the match at Lamba United gave
Speaker 1: up before the twos gave up four in the first
Speaker 1: thirty seven minutes against Huntsvill City and Huntsville City on
Speaker 1: a couple of occasions just went over the top, went
Speaker 1: with the long ball, tracked it down, got into the
Speaker 1: eighteen and got it past Jayden Hibbert. So they're down
Speaker 1: four nil. They score one late in the first half
Speaker 1: to go four to one, score one early in the
Speaker 1: second half to go four two. Ashton Gordon scores in.
Speaker 1: He comes in as a sub has a slam dunk
Speaker 1: at the back post to make it four to three
Speaker 1: with about ten minutes to go. I think it's like eight.
Speaker 1: And then I've got him in the eighties second and
Speaker 1: then Jonathan Perez and Pussius Pussius with the hat trick
Speaker 1: on the day Pussyus puts a a PK pass Jaden Hebbert.
Speaker 1: Final score was six to three. The road team in
Speaker 1: that series has won every game. Huntsville City won the
Speaker 1: first one July of last year. The following three at
Speaker 1: Wicks Family Field in Joe Davis Stadium were won by
Speaker 1: Atlanta United, two in Huntsville. Huntsville City won yesterday, and
Speaker 1: Huntsville City scored the most goals that they have scored
Speaker 1: in a season in a season appearance with six yesterday.
Speaker 1: They had scored four on two other occasions this year,
Speaker 1: but getting six. Pussius a hat trick on the day,
Speaker 1: Bologno scored and then it was forced a Jago getting one,
Speaker 1: so it was Pussius with three the Jago. That's five
Speaker 1: Pussius with three forster, ro Jiago, Johnny bolanos Oh and
Speaker 1: Jonathan Perez. That's your six. But yeah, it was it
Speaker 1: was chaos and it could have very easily been four
Speaker 1: to four and then all bets would have been off.
Speaker 1: But to the discussion that we were having about twoes
Speaker 1: players that possibly would be impactful on Wednesday, And Mike
Speaker 1: has also released this morning the crew that is in
Speaker 1: the middle. Then let's see. We do have the ref's
Speaker 1: assignment from this morning and I think, oh, let's see,
Speaker 1: we'll Sindo Mendoza is the man in the middle. Your ars,
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Grease and Nick Yuranga. Fourth official LISTA Nichols Unice
Speaker 1: Maracci is your v R. Ian McKay is your a
Speaker 1: v R. Doug Robertson of the AJAC is at practice
Speaker 1: this morning and he's says that Atlanta took the field
Speaker 1: about a little after ten o'clock. He did not see Shandi,
Speaker 1: but he did see a Pedro Amador, So that's good
Speaker 1: news and we'll keep an eye on that as well
Speaker 1: going forward. Let's see what else is going on. Oh,
Speaker 1: the twos. To wrap up the twos discussion, Yeah, Dowd
Speaker 1: made a couple of big saves in the first half
Speaker 1: as well, for it was his sixth start of the year.
Speaker 1: Brian dout in net for Huntsville City, So the margin
Speaker 1: for Aaron. Like I said, you can listen to all
Speaker 1: the highlights on the post game and where things stand
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference on twos review, it's on the network.
Speaker 1: You go to spreaker dot com that's like Speaker with
Speaker 1: an R in the middle, and you've download the Spreaker
Speaker 1: app and then you search for soccer down here. Then
Speaker 1: when you set your notifications, you'll know when we've got
Speaker 1: something live. You'll know when we got something on tape.
Speaker 1: You'll know when we got a twos review. You know
Speaker 1: we got one v ones. We've got a one v
Speaker 1: one coming up later today, which is very very cool.
Speaker 1: We catch up with a former Georgia Impact to wp
Speaker 1: SL player, Monigo Carnly, and she she is in Guatemala,
Speaker 1: so she has gone from the SEC where it just
Speaker 1: means more to Georgia Impact to Guatemalan pro soccer. We'll
Speaker 1: catch up with Carnally later today and that'll be a
Speaker 1: one v one on the network. And so, like I said,
Speaker 1: if you go to spreaker, you go to soccer down here,
Speaker 1: save us set your notifications when that net. When that
Speaker 1: interview goes live around dinner time, then you'll be one
Speaker 1: of the first ones to know that we caught up
Speaker 1: with Minigo Carnly from Georgia Impact and who's now playing
Speaker 1: in Guatemala. So that's what's uh, that's what's up, as
Speaker 1: the kids say with that. But yeah, Will it was
Speaker 1: an absolute car crash of the match. It absolutely was,
Speaker 1: and so we will. Yeah, and Jadon Hibbert from the
Speaker 1: fortieth to the eightieth definitely did stand on his head,
Speaker 1: so it was it was a car crash. And you
Speaker 1: can go to our mixer site and you can listen
Speaker 1: to the match in its entirety. All of our twos
Speaker 1: matches from this season are on our mixer site, so
Speaker 1: if there's a particular match that you want to hear,
Speaker 1: you can go back and listen to it. And it's
Speaker 1: been a fantastic season. Three matches to go for the twos.
Speaker 1: The margin of error when it comes to the postseason
Speaker 1: is officially gone. Had they won yesterday, they'd be at
Speaker 1: thirty four points. They'd be six points out of a
Speaker 1: playoff spot. With three matches to go. The next match
Speaker 1: they have is Thursday night at Matthews at the Sportsplex,
Speaker 1: taking on Crown Legacy, who is the eighth seed right
Speaker 1: now at forty points. Atlanta United two is at thirty
Speaker 1: one seven wins, three matches to go, So right now
Speaker 1: the marker is forty. Anything north of forty forty one
Speaker 1: and the twos are out of the playoff hunt. Still
Speaker 1: chasing with three matches to go, but the margin of
Speaker 1: error is as slim as slim can be. Chattanooga f
Speaker 1: Seas at thirty eight points, Carolina Corps at thirty seven,
Speaker 1: Toronto's at thirty four, Red Bulls three, Atlanta's at thirty one.
Speaker 1: See a win yesterday would have put him at thirty
Speaker 1: four points, six points out two to go. Right now
Speaker 1: it's six points out three to go. Now it's nine
Speaker 1: points out three to go. So that's a lot of
Speaker 1: chasing for the twos. But yes, Will, it was an
Speaker 1: absolute car crash of a match. You can go back
Speaker 1: and listen to it, and you can listen to the
Speaker 1: Twos review if you just want the short version where
Speaker 1: we catch up with Ashton Gordon and Steve Cook can
Speaker 1: play all the goals. The goals themselves. I think took
Speaker 1: four and a half minutes four and a half minutes
Speaker 1: for the goals. And by the way, if you have
Speaker 1: not set your fantasy team, set your fantasy team, set
Speaker 1: your fantasy team, did you know? By the way, And
Speaker 1: this is something that I did not until I was
Speaker 1: alerted to this. The Orlando Pride in the NWSL, they
Speaker 1: have an unbeaten strength of twenty one games. Will a
Speaker 1: goalless draw against Kansas City Current. They are four matches
Speaker 1: away from an undefeated NWSL season. Well, see if we
Speaker 1: can catch up with Jen Hildreth on a Tuesday in
Speaker 1: short order and catch up with one of the busiest
Speaker 1: people in show business and find out about the NWSL.
Speaker 1: Maybe we'll ask Marion Crowder about it on Thursday too,
Speaker 1: and Mary will let us know about Super League and
Speaker 1: SEC and all that kind of stuff. So here's the
Speaker 1: rundown for the week. Once again, the Minigo Carline interview
Speaker 1: will be on tape and that will be up on
Speaker 1: the network tonight around dinner time Tuesday, So wide open Tuesday.
Speaker 1: We'll catch up with everything that we don't talk about today.
Speaker 1: We'll talk about Major League Soccer. Will get you ready
Speaker 1: for Champions League. I know I've got to go about
Speaker 1: the news over overseason a bit. Wednesday is evolving into
Speaker 1: a midweek whip around because obviously with Messi and friends
Speaker 1: in town, we got to talk about that all the
Speaker 1: other matches that's your fantasy team and get ready for
Speaker 1: that matchup. Don't know how many of the herons will
Speaker 1: be available. Mike mentioned in his two hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: character app this morning he believes that Ovulus and Busquets
Speaker 1: might be out because of yellow cart accumulation. We'll keep
Speaker 1: an eye on that. But a lot of the thought
Speaker 1: that played Philly and Rich knows this played at least
Speaker 1: eighty minutes, if not in the full ninety, So it
Speaker 1: will be a rotated side unless you're going back to
Speaker 1: back in with your activity on the weekend. But looking
Speaker 1: at the schedule, we know Atlanta hits the road and
Speaker 1: they take on Red Bulls at Red Bull Arena on
Speaker 1: Saturday night. The matchups on Saturday at NYC at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 1: That's the leadoff game at Yankee Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
Speaker 1: So you're going from Grass against Philly playing everybody ninety minutes. Basically,
Speaker 1: a lot some played eighty most played ninety except for
Speaker 1: Doved Martinez who has swapped out after fifteen minutes. Keep
Speaker 1: an eye on that for an injury notification to the
Speaker 1: matchup midweek against Atlanta to going to Yankee Stadium and
Speaker 1: being the early match on Saturday afternoon on season past
Speaker 1: at two o'clock. Methinks the hero and will be rotated.
Speaker 1: Wednesday Tyler at nine fifteen will see if Dylan Butler,
Speaker 1: the busiest man in the Northeast, can join us at
Speaker 1: ten Mary and Crowder hopefully can join us at ten thirty.
Speaker 1: We'll squeeze in a midweek whip around. In all of that,
Speaker 1: see if we can catch up with a jacent at
Speaker 1: some point. Also, remember that's a seven forty match time
Speaker 1: on Wednesday. Thursday. It will be a reaction Thursday and
Speaker 1: our number one, our number two is your Power Hour
Speaker 1: with Nino and Nico at ten and ten thirty. Then Friday,
Speaker 1: once again it is a weekend whip around. Pat and
Speaker 1: pending trademark coming sooner, hopefully rather than later, because Atlanta's
Speaker 1: got to get ready for the match up against Red
Speaker 1: Bull as the sprint to the playoffs continues. Three matches
Speaker 1: in eight days, so we have all of this stuff
Speaker 1: to talk about, and the match at Red Bull Arena
Speaker 1: is a night game, by the way, in Harrison, New Jersey.
Speaker 1: So that plus all the other league stuff, plus Thursday
Speaker 1: night with the twos taking on Crown Legacy on the network,
Speaker 1: It's a busy week a lot of stuff into very
Speaker 1: little space, and we'll be talking about it all week
Speaker 1: long here with everybody. I noticed, and this is probably
Speaker 1: something that we do need to roll over to tomorrow.
Speaker 1: And it was a discussion about the playoffs and whether
Speaker 1: or not Atlanta United should even chase the playoffs. Bookmark
Speaker 1: that I want to talk about that tomorrow. We don't
Speaker 1: have enough time to get into it today. So Derek, Emilio,
Speaker 1: Michael and anyone else that has gone down this road
Speaker 1: in the twitch pitch this morning, remind me as we
Speaker 1: talk about the rest of what happened this past weekend
Speaker 1: in Major League Soccer tomorrow to get into this discussion
Speaker 1: about playoffs, no playoffs, et cetera. So I'm asked king
Speaker 1: that you be my brain, and I know that's a
Speaker 1: large ask. So all of the all the talk about
Speaker 1: playoffs and I'm not gonna do the Jim Moore drop
Speaker 1: because that's not germane to what we're getting into here.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about the playoffs in a longer discussion tomorrow
Speaker 1: because we've got a lot of news to get into
Speaker 1: before we get out of here. So I'm asking to
Speaker 1: bookmark the discussion about playoffs. No playoffs, Rich Morning Union
Speaker 1: los to MESSI and friends. But at least he'll get
Speaker 1: to watch the Eagles smash the Falcons tonight. I should
Speaker 1: I think I started, I started, Man, I should have
Speaker 1: started Dallas Goddard instead of Dylan Schultz from Texas. So
Speaker 1: so we'll see. Let's see pars in the in the
Speaker 1: discussion Chaine. But yeah, Will, how was the twos game?
Speaker 1: In person? All was a car crash? I said, Maddie
Speaker 1: and I were there for the network and it was
Speaker 1: a car crash. It was one of the it was
Speaker 1: one of the wilder games that I've called in play
Speaker 1: by play, and it was absolutely nuts to go through
Speaker 1: that game the way that the way that we did
Speaker 1: and be a part of that discussion. UH Derek saying,
Speaker 1: play the kids will sing, Nobel Kellow and Ashton Gordon
Speaker 1: pars Well the possible UH starting lineup for Wednesday, and
Speaker 1: let's see Uh, Emilio Robin wanting the job once again,
Speaker 1: bookmark that bring that back tomorrow. Uh, let's see mm
Speaker 1: hmmmm mmmmmm mmm. Yeah. And David says it looked like
Speaker 1: a five three to two last time against Miami, Derek Stion,
Speaker 1: Abram Lennon, Wileye McCarty, Mumba Yah Almada and uh Tra
Speaker 1: and Saba. So probably uh five three two three five
Speaker 1: two against them. But once again, I believe, uh, that's
Speaker 1: gonna heavily rotated, considering what we're seeing from Mike, what
Speaker 1: he thinks about yellow card accumulations. How many minutes folks
Speaker 1: played the midweek knowing that you've got to be on
Speaker 1: the road again, and Miami is in the middle of
Speaker 1: a three game of a three game swinging eight days
Speaker 1: like everybody else. But my guess is, after this match
Speaker 1: with Philly, or they had the matchup with Philly, then
Speaker 1: you have the matchup with Atlanta, and then you have
Speaker 1: the matchup involving NYC on the weekend. So you look
Speaker 1: at what Miami has been doing, Miami on the road,
Speaker 1: Hang on just a second, then you had so you
Speaker 1: had Miami at home, Miami on the road in the midweek.
Speaker 1: My guess is is. I don't know if they're gonna
Speaker 1: I don't know if they're gonna fly home and fly
Speaker 1: up to New York. I don't know how counterintuitive that
Speaker 1: would be, but yeah, Miami's gonna be on the road
Speaker 1: two matches in four days. They may as well just
Speaker 1: leave here and go to New York's and be ready
Speaker 1: for that early afternoon kick the first match of the day.
Speaker 1: That's crazy. So that's what I'm looking at. I'm looking
Speaker 1: at a rotated side, and I'm looking at them possibly
Speaker 1: traveling to New York immediately after because they've got the
Speaker 1: early match on Saturday. To see what you're staring at
Speaker 1: when it comes to enter Miami and Messi and friends
Speaker 1: in their trip. Yes, Arthur was in the house alongside
Speaker 1: his son Josh, who is the alternate governor and the
Speaker 1: one who is in charge of all soccer meetings and
Speaker 1: things like that, and Garth. There was the cutaway Garth
Speaker 1: talking to Josh, uncle Arthur listening to the match. So, yes,
Speaker 1: the Blanks were in the house. Let's see, let's see.
Speaker 1: Katie says, making Dacks go out like that against his
Speaker 1: former team is a disgrace. Yeah, pars Honey, got everything
Speaker 1: called from in that one basically made a paper. In
Speaker 1: the second half, he's it's so disappointing, you know, the
Speaker 1: talent that is there in Honeymook Tar. But he decides
Speaker 1: that he wants to try to to dive and try
Speaker 1: to create things that way will and playing the kids
Speaker 1: is a part of it. Milliare discussing the d and
Speaker 1: its improvements. Let's see, I'm trying to go down the
Speaker 1: list here. Yes, yeah, my takes Regano's two Spicy john
Speaker 1: and food down here. But yeah, seriously, David, it was
Speaker 1: like somebody just dumped pepper on my tongue and smell
Speaker 1: it all over the place. Trial of the Century this
Speaker 1: week is going on overseas and it is the beginning
Speaker 1: of the hearings involving Manchester City in one hundred and
Speaker 1: fifteen charges the clubs. Apparently according to the Telegraph, and
Speaker 1: this is an exclusive by Jeremy Wilson at said Telegraph
Speaker 1: Premier League Clubs headline. Frustrated by secrecy surrounding Manchester City
Speaker 1: one hundred and fifteen charges, hearing sources argue the case
Speaker 1: being held in public would bring clarity, accuracy and act
Speaker 1: as a future control and deterrent cities. Hearing is confidential,
Speaker 1: being held in private in front of an unnamed three
Speaker 1: person commission in accordance with Section W of the Premier
Speaker 1: League's rules. Public details of the city charges have been
Speaker 1: restricted only to a basic list of the rules and
Speaker 1: seasons of each alleged breach, and while photographs have emerged
Speaker 1: of legal teams arriving at an arbitration center in London,
Speaker 1: even the location of the hearing was kept under wraps.
Speaker 1: A lack of shared information extends even to other Premier
Speaker 1: League clubs, and although what are deemed interlocutory decisions judgments
Speaker 1: during the hearing could be shared as deemed appropriate, the
Speaker 1: next definite date will arrive only when the commission's final
Speaker 1: awards are published on the league website. Premier League rual
Speaker 1: w dot four four even says only that the chair
Speaker 1: of the three person commission may order that a transcript
Speaker 1: of proceedings be be taken. Premier League has followed the
Speaker 1: rules for an independent commissioner peel Board is set out
Speaker 1: in its handbuck, but after Everton, Lester and Forrest, there's
Speaker 1: now feeling both inside clubs and among sports lawyers, greater
Speaker 1: transparency is needed and so early returns there that the
Speaker 1: clubs are none too pleased with what's been going on
Speaker 1: and not telling anybody what's up with Manchester City. Wilson
Speaker 1: I guess for today's requested required reading breaks down the charges,
Speaker 1: all one hundred and fifteen of them, and it's been
Speaker 1: six years since Der Spiegel first published the series of
Speaker 1: allegations based on documents at obtained via Football Leagues. Biggest
Speaker 1: proportion of the charges related to the required clubs to
Speaker 1: provide accurate financial information series of charges regarding the accuracy
Speaker 1: of detail City provided for both their manager and player
Speaker 1: payments in the period between nine ten and sixteen seventeen.
Speaker 1: In the charge sheet, the Premier League simply refers to
Speaker 1: the rules and the seasons. However, the manager breaches only
Speaker 1: relate to the period between nine ten and twelve and
Speaker 1: thirteen when Manchini was leading the team. Breaches respect to
Speaker 1: player payments ten to eleven to fifteen sixteen. Once again a
Speaker 1: city accused of the Premier League failing to comply with
Speaker 1: PSR complying with the rules for not complying with the
Speaker 1: rules for over a four year period, initially banned for
Speaker 1: two years from UEFA in twenty twenty for alleged breaches,
Speaker 1: but they successfully overturned that suspension at cast Premier League
Speaker 1: also brought in PSR from twenty thirteen, which limits the
Speaker 1: club's financial losses to one hundred and five million. We've
Speaker 1: talked about that a lot. City alleged to a breach
Speaker 1: rules on PSR in every season fifteen sixteen, sixteen, seventeen
Speaker 1: and seventeen eighteen. Investigation launched in December of twenty eighteen.
Speaker 1: Charges relate to rules requiring members to cooperate and assist
Speaker 1: investigations in good faith, including by providing documents and information alleged.
Speaker 1: The failure stretches through five seasons from eighteen nineteen through
Speaker 1: twenty two to twenty three. City deny any wrongdoing, and
Speaker 1: we mentioned what Pep Guardiola said when he was asked
Speaker 1: about it in probably I think it was the MD
Speaker 1: minus two was where Pep Guardiola addressed it, and I
Speaker 1: posted the Telegraph article in the timeline for requested required
Speaker 1: reading today. As everything goes forward there the expulsion threat
Speaker 1: for the Euros in England in twenty twenty eight. UEFA
Speaker 1: has to be satisfied of the new independent regulator's influence
Speaker 1: and keep an eye on whether or there's talk that
Speaker 1: UEFA will not pull the Euros in twenty eight, but
Speaker 1: keep an eye on the relationship and the oversight that
Speaker 1: the independent regulator may or may not have or may
Speaker 1: or may not want when it comes to England and
Speaker 1: its overall state of football. So keep an eye on that.
Speaker 1: Everton up to nil Pars, I'm hoping has seen the
Speaker 1: extended highlights of the comeback with Aston Villa, where Villa
Speaker 1: came back to win at three to two, and you
Speaker 1: have you have all of that to keep an eye
Speaker 1: on as well. I know that we're in the plus time,
Speaker 1: we'll hopefully I'll try to blow through as much of
Speaker 1: the other information as we have. Folks at the Guardian
Speaker 1: a seeing that de Rossi risks becoming the new Mourinho
Speaker 1: at struggling Roma. Connor Gallagher is already being elevated in
Speaker 1: his status at Atletico Madrid with their beginnings this season
Speaker 1: in the Championship. By the way, Stoke has sacked Stephen
Speaker 1: Schumacher and are targeting Norwich coach Narses Pilache. Stoke his
Speaker 1: thirteenth two wins and three losses. Plash has worked at
Speaker 1: Huddersfield in Girona. So Stephen Schumacher out at nor Sorry
Speaker 1: it's Stoke and the Norch coach is being targeted right
Speaker 1: now as a part of the discussion for the future
Speaker 1: of Stoke as the season has not gone well for
Speaker 1: them to start things off. Let's see Stoke and Steven Schumacher.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to see if there's anything else. So the
Speaker 1: early returns from our friends at Talk Sport discussing all
Speaker 1: kinds of sackings and things like that five games into
Speaker 1: the championship season. So that's it for Schumacher. Some folks,
Speaker 1: you know, they absolutely just start to freak out front offices,
Speaker 1: streak out, freak out, and then because of that you
Speaker 1: end up with a lot of sackings at the bottom
Speaker 1: of the table and a lot of knee jerk reactions.
Speaker 1: Cardiff were considering sacking manager Errol Bulu after their start
Speaker 1: of the season and they believe that Blue may have
Speaker 1: lost the locker room already after only five matches and
Speaker 1: one point rock bottom of the table. We're starting thirty
Speaker 1: five years scored only once, conceded eleven times. Atmosphere in
Speaker 1: the dressing room has become very negative senior players now
Speaker 1: questioning Blues training methods fourth league defeat, as they lost
Speaker 1: one nil to Darby County on the weekend. So Cardiff
Speaker 1: maybe Stoke City, Yes, and we'll see what continues there
Speaker 1: as well. So I'm trying to roll through the papers
Speaker 1: really quickly and see if there's anything else that I
Speaker 1: have missed. Yes, the Marta collection is out. That has
Speaker 1: just happened and I'm probably going to be absolutely poor
Speaker 1: because of it. And remember tomorrow you end up with
Speaker 1: thirty six teams, one group, eight opponents in your Champions
Speaker 1: League and all of that starts tomorrow as well, so
Speaker 1: we'll go over those matchups. We won't have to worry
Speaker 1: about anything involving group stages, group play, anything of that
Speaker 1: sort because you're all in one big group, all in
Speaker 1: one big group now, So hold your breath and we'll
Speaker 1: see what happens with the Champions League. We'll go over
Speaker 1: those matches tomorrow. Apparently Robin Van Percy is coaching. I
Speaker 1: did not know this. It's coaching at Harronving. They lost
Speaker 1: nine to one on the weekend to a ozed Alkmar.
Speaker 1: Troy Parrott scored four. It's only his fourth game in
Speaker 1: charges manager of being appointed. In May, Parrott moved from
Speaker 1: Spurs for just under seven million pounds. So Robin Van
Speaker 1: Percy against azed Alkamar twelfth in the table, losing nine
Speaker 1: to one, using nine to one to Azad Alkmart. So
Speaker 1: we'll keep an eye on Robin Van Percy and his
Speaker 1: and his managerial carousel as it goes forward. So I think,
Speaker 1: I think that's everything the U. Let me go real quick,
Speaker 1: and I want to see about the Marta Collection because
Speaker 1: I know that that information is now out and I'm
Speaker 1: officially scared. It was mentioned that it was going to
Speaker 1: be out today, it is now officially out and before
Speaker 1: so it's in that one so which it's like, I've
Speaker 1: got like nine thousand emails and I'm trying to figure
Speaker 1: out which email it went into. So it is in
Speaker 1: this account. So let me hit the let me hit
Speaker 1: the refresh button because it is in some places. There
Speaker 1: we go, okay, now it's officially popped up. The Marta
Speaker 1: Collection retail line is out for Atlanta United, blending soccer
Speaker 1: and transit designs and four custom pieces now available at
Speaker 1: Atlantic Station. Oh boy. Yeah, So looking at the photos
Speaker 1: that were released and I'm trying to see all the
Speaker 1: scarf is insane. Oh, the scarf is insane. I like
Speaker 1: I like the sweatshirt, taking the three Marta colors and
Speaker 1: going at O U TD and Marta lettering and Martiphont.
Speaker 1: I like the hat, so I like the hat. I
Speaker 1: love the scarf and the uh the sweatshirt. So it's
Speaker 1: gonna end up being hat, sweatshirt, scarf.
Speaker 4: Is it?
Speaker 1: Land United sends all this stuff, sends all this stuff
Speaker 1: our away. So the ATO UTD line is out and
Speaker 1: we're all going to the poorhouse. So there you go.
Speaker 1: Let's see. So Alex, yes, you had a big win yesterday.
Speaker 1: Alex and his Newcastle undefeated ten to twelve in their
Speaker 1: first four matches, three zero to one. So we'll talk
Speaker 1: about more of the Premier League tomorrow once again, especially
Speaker 1: as we get into Champions League and also as the
Speaker 1: Trial of the Century this week continues involving Manchester City.
Speaker 1: So that's a show and what we will do is
Speaker 1: come back tomorrow. Then we'll do it again at nine
Speaker 1: oh five once again. Well, everything that we talked about today,
Speaker 1: and remember there are some bookmarks, playoffs, playing the kids,
Speaker 1: those kinds of things. I want to get into that
Speaker 1: in more detail. We're going to get into what happened
Speaker 1: in Major League Soccer on the weekend. The other matches
Speaker 1: will continue to update news heading into a midweek, and
Speaker 1: the points that you guys had will get into in
Speaker 1: depth because with the guests we had this it's going
Speaker 1: to be a little difficult to talk about some of
Speaker 1: the points and just sit there and gloss over them
Speaker 1: because I don't want to. I want to flush them
Speaker 1: out and I want us to have an honest discussion
Speaker 1: and an earnest discussion as we always do about these
Speaker 1: kinds of things. So playoffs, playing the kids, anything else,
Speaker 1: other discussions the rest of the weekend in Major League Soccer,
Speaker 1: getting you ready for Champions League. We'll go over the
Speaker 1: new Champions League rules because it's no longer a group stage.
Speaker 1: It's everybody in one pile and survival of the fittest.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that as well tomorrow. So a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff to get into on the show tomorrow. Thanks
Speaker 1: as always for dropping by as you always do, and
Speaker 1: remember remember remember, remember, be there for each other, be
Speaker 1: there with each other, give everyone your love and everyone
Speaker 1: your best. That was a great move by Atlanta United
Speaker 1: to wear the Appalachi arm bands for everything that the
Speaker 1: Appalachi community is going through. And it was a fantastic
Speaker 1: move by the team to wear the arm bands on
Speaker 1: the weekend. So be there for yourselves, be there for
