WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:04.200 Ooh, different backdrop today. Now, all right, we go from 2 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:07.519 Limit to Seattle. Find out what's going on in Conca 3 00:00:07.519 --> 00:00:09.880 Calf in this gentleman's mind, find out what's going on 4 00:00:09.919 --> 00:00:11.720 in Major League Soccer the week that was, the week 5 00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:13.199 that will be. We're gonna cover it all here in 6 00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:15.439 the next half hour. Time to go to Seattle and 7 00:00:15.439 --> 00:00:18.160 find out what cup of coffee our buddy Nico Modeno 8 00:00:18.280 --> 00:00:18.440 is on. 9 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:20.079 What cup of coffee are you on? 10 00:00:20.679 --> 00:00:25.120 Sir? Hey, what's going on? John? It is Cup number two. 11 00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:30.480 I am down here in the dining area because the 12 00:00:30.559 --> 00:00:34.000 kids are home and they are in uh spring break. 13 00:00:34.159 --> 00:00:36.840 So there you have it. That's why I'm down here, all. 14 00:00:36.840 --> 00:00:38.799 Right, Hey, it's all it's all pretty, and it's all good. 15 00:00:38.880 --> 00:00:41.479 He's on Cup number two. So that's that's where we're at, 16 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.000 all right. So we started out an hour number one 17 00:00:45.560 --> 00:00:48.479 talking about the craziness that was Conca Calf last night, 18 00:00:48.759 --> 00:00:50.280 and it was probably a bit of a late night 19 00:00:50.359 --> 00:00:56.159 for you having to watch Cascadia and Cascadia on display, 20 00:00:56.280 --> 00:00:59.119 and then before that it was lafc and Messi and friends, 21 00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:02.240 and I went over the numb members of both oscar 22 00:01:02.359 --> 00:01:08.879 Ustari and Messi last night. The matches had different kind 23 00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:12.400 of crazy from different kind of different kind of perspectives. 24 00:01:12.439 --> 00:01:15.040 Your thoughts on what went down last night in conkor cat. 25 00:01:15.959 --> 00:01:20.799 Man it was. It was very concor caf ish with 26 00:01:20.840 --> 00:01:24.519 two mlestings which doesn't know you will happened. I think 27 00:01:24.560 --> 00:01:28.879 that we mentioned last week that inter Miami was the 28 00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:30.920 favorite of going into this one because you were not 29 00:01:31.000 --> 00:01:36.239 going to get another game where Messi was mortal. And 30 00:01:37.200 --> 00:01:43.920 regardless of how well systematically LAFT plays, sometimes it feels 31 00:01:43.959 --> 00:01:47.599 like there's a need for one more X factor in 32 00:01:47.719 --> 00:01:53.560 that attacking end and Denny Bwanga can't do it all. 33 00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:56.480 Denny Wanga cannot be the only one responsible over scoring goals. 34 00:01:56.879 --> 00:02:00.000 It seemed like he's the only dangerous player that consists 35 00:02:00.079 --> 00:02:04.480 only getting into those spaces to be dangerous. And in 36 00:02:04.519 --> 00:02:08.400 this one, even though LAFC started on the front foot 37 00:02:08.560 --> 00:02:14.000 and they put Miami on their heels and they score first, 38 00:02:14.240 --> 00:02:17.680 the away goal that they needed is what they gave 39 00:02:17.800 --> 00:02:22.360 right off the bat, and even then they're unable to 40 00:02:22.520 --> 00:02:25.840 kill the game. And having Macharano said it after the game, 41 00:02:26.199 --> 00:02:29.560 once I figured that it was the twenty fifth thirtieth 42 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:32.759 minute and LAC had not finished us off. I knew 43 00:02:32.759 --> 00:02:34.680 that we could get back into this game, and that's 44 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:40.759 what happened. Little by little. There's that goal that gets 45 00:02:41.560 --> 00:02:46.719 invalidated because Messi doesn't wait for the referee to blow 46 00:02:46.719 --> 00:02:51.039 the whistle, but it kind of gives that hope, that 47 00:02:51.800 --> 00:02:54.280 feeling of we can do this to Inner Miami. And 48 00:02:54.360 --> 00:02:58.120 after that it was all in Miami. And credit to 49 00:02:58.240 --> 00:03:02.080 Haavrir Macherano again that he's a coach that I did 50 00:03:02.120 --> 00:03:08.879 not feel like had the career or the spectifications, if 51 00:03:08.919 --> 00:03:12.840 you will, right to handle this Inn Miami. But he 52 00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:16.159 did a great man. I mean that three men build 53 00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:19.280 out that he kind of put together there At times 54 00:03:19.280 --> 00:03:24.520 it was Rodondo at Tommy, was Cello with Noah Allen 55 00:03:24.759 --> 00:03:29.800 and Faucone. It was just so fluid. It had so 56 00:03:29.879 --> 00:03:34.560 many components. It allowed Jordi to just be basically another winger. 57 00:03:35.240 --> 00:03:39.199 There was so many numbers moving forward for Inner Miami 58 00:03:39.240 --> 00:03:42.800 in the second half, and you give Messi too many 59 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:45.080 chances and he's gonna come get you, He's gonna bite you. 60 00:03:45.520 --> 00:03:48.919 Great goal for the equalizer they built off of that. 61 00:03:50.199 --> 00:03:53.000 Then in the second one, did Rodondo put its head 62 00:03:53.000 --> 00:03:54.879 on it or not, It doesn't matter you put the 63 00:03:54.960 --> 00:03:59.039 balls into dangerous positions and then to finish off the game, 64 00:03:59.199 --> 00:04:02.000 absolute hand ball. Don't know what you're thinking with your 65 00:04:02.039 --> 00:04:05.479 hands out there like that inside the eighteen MENSI puts 66 00:04:05.479 --> 00:04:09.319 it away. End of story. LAFC does try to get 67 00:04:09.360 --> 00:04:11.680 back into this game in the last ten minutes or so, 68 00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:15.840 a little too late. There's no way that you're getting 69 00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.839 back into this one, and in the Miami goes through. 70 00:04:19.279 --> 00:04:22.519 Definitely the favorite in this one. And I'll spend less 71 00:04:22.519 --> 00:04:26.879 time on the Vancouver game, although they deserve every single 72 00:04:27.000 --> 00:04:31.480 credit for being relentless man because look, I thought they 73 00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:34.120 were the better team against Pumas, because they were playing 74 00:04:34.160 --> 00:04:38.480 their game. Pumas certainly had a lot of chances. Big 75 00:04:38.519 --> 00:04:42.519 Memo Martinez was a handful, you know, with the aerial 76 00:04:42.639 --> 00:04:45.720 balls and being able to get headers every single time. 77 00:04:46.360 --> 00:04:50.560 But Pedro Batte what a player. I thought he was 78 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:54.040 the man of the match in this one. So good 79 00:04:54.040 --> 00:04:58.480 on the ball, so good defensively, so balanced, And although 80 00:05:00.120 --> 00:05:03.480 in the eighty eighth or eighty plus minute, who must 81 00:05:03.519 --> 00:05:08.160 gets the two to one, Vancouver never stopped moving forward. 82 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:12.839 And Ocampo, who had the exact same cross at the 83 00:05:13.079 --> 00:05:16.399 end of the home game in the first leg, that 84 00:05:16.519 --> 00:05:20.160 is a header that doesn't go in. In this one, Ocampo 85 00:05:20.839 --> 00:05:26.319 same cross in the ninety third minute results in Vancouver 86 00:05:26.439 --> 00:05:31.519 getting that two to two equalizer puts them through. And 87 00:05:31.720 --> 00:05:34.959 uh man, it's just it talks about Vancouver and the 88 00:05:35.040 --> 00:05:37.639 belief that they have that they can be in every 89 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:38.879 game because of their offense. 90 00:05:39.480 --> 00:05:45.079 Well, and you mentioned Vancouver, and it's a continuation of 91 00:05:45.079 --> 00:05:49.040 what happened last year with Danny Sartini, where you had 92 00:05:49.040 --> 00:05:53.240 the belief in Vancouver and they trusted what Sartini wanted 93 00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.879 to do with the bill. Then they go their separate ways. 94 00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.120 But it looks like this season it is gone on 95 00:06:00.160 --> 00:06:03.360 to that next level. Any idea why it has gone 96 00:06:03.399 --> 00:06:07.120 to that next level under the new head coach up there? 97 00:06:08.000 --> 00:06:10.800 I honestly, I hate to say it like this, but 98 00:06:11.560 --> 00:06:15.879 it's it. Basically, the inertia is still from certainty in 99 00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:20.199 my opinion, and it is the belief of certain players 100 00:06:20.199 --> 00:06:23.600 that have continued to grow, and it is the acquisition 101 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.120 of a guy like Ocampo, who I think has been 102 00:06:26.680 --> 00:06:28.680 very important for this game and what they try to 103 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:34.160 do out wide. But I do believe that when a 104 00:06:34.199 --> 00:06:37.079 coach has done so much like VI needed to kind 105 00:06:37.079 --> 00:06:40.399 of put it all together. Now the new head coach 106 00:06:41.519 --> 00:06:44.120 gets to take the credit because it's kind of what's 107 00:06:44.120 --> 00:06:46.720 being kind of working now. Credit to him as well 108 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.399 to continue to build off of that. And if anything 109 00:06:51.480 --> 00:06:56.199 is different, I do think that defensively, Vancouver does tend 110 00:06:56.240 --> 00:06:59.120 to keep its shape a lot more. I think that 111 00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.000 he also putting pedro Vite in a position that he 112 00:07:02.800 --> 00:07:07.279 likes to play unteel more natural on at times certainy 113 00:07:07.319 --> 00:07:11.480 would move pedro Vite as a fullback and put him 114 00:07:11.480 --> 00:07:13.519 out wide because there's what he doesn't like to be 115 00:07:13.600 --> 00:07:16.759 necessarily there at all times. And I think those maybe 116 00:07:16.800 --> 00:07:19.279 are a couple of things that we can definitely go 117 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:22.480 into the new head coach. But at the same time, 118 00:07:22.519 --> 00:07:26.279 I just think Vancouver has a certain belief, has a 119 00:07:26.319 --> 00:07:29.680 group that has a lot of continuity and that at 120 00:07:29.680 --> 00:07:31.600 this moment in time, they feel like they can be 121 00:07:31.800 --> 00:07:37.279 any team. And getting back into that game at Estadio 122 00:07:37.319 --> 00:07:42.120 Universitario it's not easy to do again. Obviously, for those 123 00:07:42.160 --> 00:07:45.680 who don't know the casual soccer watchers, it was one 124 00:07:45.800 --> 00:07:48.360 one on the score line, but it was too too 125 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:52.639 in the aggregate, and then because he scored two goal, 126 00:07:52.680 --> 00:07:56.439 because he scored two goals away. That's kind of what 127 00:07:56.439 --> 00:08:00.600 what puts this one of Vancouver getting through. 128 00:08:01.120 --> 00:08:05.000 Yeah, yes for Swordensen, the new head coach for Vancouver. 129 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:09.160 And the thing is, I can guarantee you that yes 130 00:08:09.240 --> 00:08:11.120 for Sorenson, and the joke that I use every once 131 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:13.199 in a while, yes for Sorensen to a lot of folks, 132 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:16.240 probably wasn't a household name in his own household, and 133 00:08:16.759 --> 00:08:18.959 Sowdensen comes in, and then there were a lot of 134 00:08:18.959 --> 00:08:21.639 folks that were raising the people's eyebrow going why would 135 00:08:21.680 --> 00:08:25.120 you hire yes per Sawdensen because and they would list ABCD, 136 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:28.439 E and F. And right now you've got a team 137 00:08:29.480 --> 00:08:33.080 top of the table in the Western Conference, made their 138 00:08:33.080 --> 00:08:37.960 way to the semifinals in the CONCACAF Hemispheric Extravaganza. And 139 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:40.720 so I think that folks need to be paying more 140 00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:44.519 attention to what Sawdensen is doing with taking over with 141 00:08:44.559 --> 00:08:47.399 what you said, with the foundation that Benny Sartiniz laid 142 00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.600 out and then adding his own little bits, especially defensively, 143 00:08:50.639 --> 00:08:53.799 and you mentioned with what he's doing with pedro Vite. Look, 144 00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:56.519 I don't think you can sleep on Vancouver anymore. And 145 00:08:56.559 --> 00:08:58.720 I think last night, once again reinforced that. 146 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:02.320 Yeah, look, they're the highest scoring team in the Western Conference. 147 00:09:02.360 --> 00:09:04.120 I don't know even the league, but I know for 148 00:09:04.159 --> 00:09:06.720 sure that the highest scoring team in the Western Conference 149 00:09:07.240 --> 00:09:11.360 and at this point in time. Yes, I mean Sorrysan 150 00:09:11.399 --> 00:09:14.039 does deserve the credit because regardless of you've got to 151 00:09:14.039 --> 00:09:16.639 get these guys to buy in into the new head coach, 152 00:09:16.639 --> 00:09:17.879 you got to get a new buy in in what 153 00:09:17.919 --> 00:09:19.919 you're trying to execute. I thought that he had a 154 00:09:19.960 --> 00:09:23.720 really good game plan against Pumas, and he was not 155 00:09:23.840 --> 00:09:27.960 afraid to rub a dope a little bit and just 156 00:09:28.480 --> 00:09:31.320 take some of that pressure that Pumas did put him under. 157 00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:35.879 I thought that in set pieces, the things that were 158 00:09:36.240 --> 00:09:39.919 lacking in the first leg, they were not necessarily there 159 00:09:39.960 --> 00:09:42.720 in this one. He did a good job at at 160 00:09:42.799 --> 00:09:48.759 least overpopulating the places where Memo and Coco Kartida kind 161 00:09:48.759 --> 00:09:52.759 of hurt him. So, man, I thought that in that regard, 162 00:09:52.799 --> 00:09:54.519 you do got to give him a little bit of credit. 163 00:09:54.559 --> 00:09:56.840 But again, I do want to say that this group 164 00:09:56.960 --> 00:10:00.879 this talent for I think that he would have been 165 00:10:00.919 --> 00:10:04.240 any different with Sertini. I don't know, Man, I feel 166 00:10:04.240 --> 00:10:08.039 like this group is that good right now, and they 167 00:10:08.120 --> 00:10:11.279 just got the different believe. But yeah, absolutely. Oh and 168 00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:14.000 now it was three to three and agreget. I'm sorry 169 00:10:14.080 --> 00:10:16.039 not to to but three to three, indig and those 170 00:10:16.080 --> 00:10:19.000 two goals away is what putts Vancouver through. 171 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:23.480 Last week in Major League Soccer, MESSI and friends due 172 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:28.000 Toronto and everybody was like a freaking out. San Jose 173 00:10:28.159 --> 00:10:31.480 puts six on DC. I'm going backward from Sunday to Saturday. 174 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.799 San Jose puts six on DC and it could have 175 00:10:34.840 --> 00:10:37.399 been a lot worse for DC. I'm still keeping an 176 00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:40.519 eye on DC, and I'm wondering who didn't make it 177 00:10:40.639 --> 00:10:43.000 off the tarmac onto the plane to come back from 178 00:10:43.039 --> 00:10:43.720 the West coast. 179 00:10:46.840 --> 00:10:50.720 Yeah. Man, it looks it was a bloodbath, if you will. 180 00:10:51.480 --> 00:10:54.720 Right off the beginning of the game with at angle 181 00:10:54.799 --> 00:10:59.840 score in the game under ten minutes, it was kind 182 00:10:59.840 --> 00:11:05.799 of a perfect storm there for San Jose because Joseph 183 00:11:05.840 --> 00:11:10.279 Martinez was feeling himself and you know he gets the 184 00:11:10.320 --> 00:11:14.840 hat trick. I think that this team is so much 185 00:11:14.879 --> 00:11:21.240 better offensively when Pellegrino and Pinosa play together at the 186 00:11:21.279 --> 00:11:31.159 same time. Clearly a cameo return, if you will, for 187 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.759 this team to show and display what they can do offensively. 188 00:11:37.960 --> 00:11:40.000 I think Martinez that I'm gonna can play very good 189 00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:43.080 of each other, and if they can continue to build 190 00:11:43.120 --> 00:11:49.000 off of that, you can squeeze the last drops of 191 00:11:49.519 --> 00:11:52.879 potential that Martinez has and he can be a killer 192 00:11:53.399 --> 00:11:55.360 in front of goal. You just got to get him 193 00:11:55.399 --> 00:11:58.320 the ball there, and you got to work with him 194 00:11:58.720 --> 00:12:02.159 so defensively, he doesn't have to do so much. Right, 195 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:05.360 you want to keep his level of energy. You got 196 00:12:05.360 --> 00:12:08.120 to sustain them, and I think that Bruce Arena did 197 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.320 a great job in this one. But DC United, let's 198 00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:15.360 not forget about them, complete disaster. I mean, they could 199 00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:20.480 not hold the ball in profession. They cannot limit It 200 00:12:20.519 --> 00:12:26.360 seemed like San Jose was cutting through their midfield like 201 00:12:26.399 --> 00:12:28.879 a knife through butter. I mean, it was so simple, 202 00:12:28.960 --> 00:12:32.240 it was so there was nothing that San Jose was 203 00:12:32.279 --> 00:12:38.080 doing that I think was very complicated to figure out 204 00:12:38.440 --> 00:12:40.639 the triangles and the and the way they were moving 205 00:12:40.679 --> 00:12:43.919 the ball. But they just had no idea. DC has 206 00:12:44.000 --> 00:12:46.720 no one in that midfield that can get you the 207 00:12:46.759 --> 00:12:51.519 ball back. They don't have a disruptor. They're two spread out. 208 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.159 They're just a team that has a lot of holes. 209 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:56.600 Right now, all right, what the heck happened in the three? 210 00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.679 No lost to San Diego with Seattle. 211 00:13:00.639 --> 00:13:04.600 According to Brian, just three things, and I pushed back 212 00:13:04.639 --> 00:13:07.039 on that. I think there was more than that. We've 213 00:13:07.039 --> 00:13:10.480 had different discussions here with guys from the beat about 214 00:13:10.480 --> 00:13:14.120 how bad they lost and how good San Diego was. 215 00:13:16.440 --> 00:13:21.039 Clearly Brian to responsibility for the first goal, first minute 216 00:13:21.399 --> 00:13:24.480 corner kick. It's a quick restart on a short corner. 217 00:13:25.080 --> 00:13:28.240 Nobody sees it coming. When you do see it coming, 218 00:13:28.919 --> 00:13:33.559 Ferrera and Christian Rodan push to Tukilsano, who is the 219 00:13:33.600 --> 00:13:35.799 guy that gets the ball short on the corner, and 220 00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:39.519 then they get completely taken out by one move, one move, 221 00:13:39.639 --> 00:13:43.200 two players. He gets around him like training. Cones puts 222 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:46.879 the ball in and it's all over. After that, Brian 223 00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:50.240 did say he took accountability that the team wasn't ready 224 00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:52.399 to go right off the bat, that that sort of 225 00:13:52.440 --> 00:13:55.879 situation does fall on him. I appreciate him taking accountability 226 00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:58.720 for that because I couldn't agree more. We knew going 227 00:13:58.720 --> 00:14:00.759 into this game, and I said here and I said 228 00:14:00.799 --> 00:14:02.519 it everywhere that I was on it. I'm just some dude. 229 00:14:02.519 --> 00:14:07.039 They watching soccer, and I knew that restarts and set 230 00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:10.720 pieces is what San Diego liked to do. To take 231 00:14:10.759 --> 00:14:13.440 advantage of games. That's where they have an agon teams. 232 00:14:13.440 --> 00:14:15.840 They don't explore so that they don't expect it. They 233 00:14:15.919 --> 00:14:17.759 just do it very well. And there was a couple 234 00:14:17.799 --> 00:14:20.840 of times in this one. One was a free kick 235 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:24.600 before the first half where there's a ball that comes 236 00:14:24.600 --> 00:14:30.200 in behind Riens cost A Rise and it almost leads 237 00:14:30.200 --> 00:14:34.799 to a tukulosanog. So I like that. Brian said that 238 00:14:35.399 --> 00:14:39.799 clearly the Georgi Manongu experiment up top does not work. 239 00:14:40.080 --> 00:14:45.759 I'm very concerned about this. If Brian is more willing 240 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:49.840 to try Georgia up top at the nine rather than 241 00:14:50.919 --> 00:14:53.759 playing with his Sue Frera at the nine, that is 242 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:57.159 a lot about what Brian thinks or doesn't think of 243 00:14:57.240 --> 00:15:00.720 a Sue Frera up top. Brian kind of mentioned that, 244 00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:02.639 you know, it didn't really work, but you know, there's 245 00:15:02.679 --> 00:15:04.679 not really a nine. Oh but hey, suit's not really 246 00:15:04.720 --> 00:15:06.879 a nine. He could play up there is what he said. 247 00:15:07.159 --> 00:15:10.840 Don't like that quote. And I had a back and 248 00:15:10.879 --> 00:15:14.039 forth with Craig Wible just a week ago where I 249 00:15:14.120 --> 00:15:18.639 told him what the need for this team was striker Sora. 250 00:15:18.720 --> 00:15:22.000 You brought him in sure as a versatile player, but 251 00:15:22.360 --> 00:15:24.159 you know, you kind of mention that he could play 252 00:15:24.159 --> 00:15:26.200 the night at the leg level, and that just doesn't 253 00:15:26.200 --> 00:15:28.960 seem to be the case. So in this one against 254 00:15:29.039 --> 00:15:32.720 San Diego that did not work, still looked a little 255 00:15:32.720 --> 00:15:36.879 bit lost. The pressing by Seattle was a little bit 256 00:15:36.919 --> 00:15:39.679 too high in my opinion. They were able to uh, 257 00:15:39.720 --> 00:15:41.679 San Diego was able to just play through the press, 258 00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:46.120 but they lost the game in transition. Transition was by 259 00:15:46.159 --> 00:15:50.759 far the easiest way san Diego scored. Knew who way 260 00:15:50.879 --> 00:15:53.720 too forward, there was a bunch of space behind him. 261 00:15:54.679 --> 00:15:57.320 He seemed like san Diego knew exactly how to exploit 262 00:15:57.440 --> 00:16:00.759 the spaces behind you, and and it was all over 263 00:16:00.799 --> 00:16:03.360 after that. So I think just San Diego is that good. 264 00:16:03.519 --> 00:16:06.320 San Diego is a team that understands the way they 265 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:11.279 want to play. I think that midfield completely tore apart 266 00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:16.639 Seattle's pivots a Nivo, Goudoy, de la Torre and mister Koff. 267 00:16:17.519 --> 00:16:19.440 I mean, they were just so good. They were just 268 00:16:19.480 --> 00:16:23.639 so much better. However, and I'll try to thins here, 269 00:16:24.559 --> 00:16:27.279 there's a lot of that willingness, and Brian talked about 270 00:16:27.279 --> 00:16:29.519 it and the post game conference where he's like, look, 271 00:16:29.799 --> 00:16:32.600 depending in transitions a lot about effort, and there were 272 00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:36.240 times where men forty year old and Nivo Gudoy cannot 273 00:16:36.320 --> 00:16:40.039 just be the runner into the box and hit that 274 00:16:40.159 --> 00:16:43.399 ball as open as he was. And the guy that's 275 00:16:43.440 --> 00:16:47.039 closest to him is Jorgi Manongu, who's the guy that 276 00:16:47.080 --> 00:16:51.480 got possessed on the right flank. So a lot of 277 00:16:51.480 --> 00:16:55.519 things that Satan needs to do better. Brian talked about 278 00:16:55.559 --> 00:16:59.600 the possibility of change information because of the lack of results, 279 00:17:00.000 --> 00:17:03.480 think that that might benefit the team. Although the three 280 00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:07.920 five two or three four two one was designed by 281 00:17:07.960 --> 00:17:12.640 the Sierra Saunders to create more opportunities in offense, to 282 00:17:12.680 --> 00:17:17.680 create havoc, to add more numbers and weed the positioning 283 00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:20.599 number battle in the field up top, it hasn't worked 284 00:17:20.599 --> 00:17:24.359 offensively and he's made you vulnerable defensively. So I think 285 00:17:24.359 --> 00:17:27.519 going back to the default four two three one might 286 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:30.240 simplify things and get this time in the right direction. 287 00:17:30.839 --> 00:17:35.519 But still not good enough. Once again, and you got 288 00:17:35.519 --> 00:17:38.440 outplayed off the field against San Diego f C. 289 00:17:39.119 --> 00:17:43.480 And then you have to now turn around and play 290 00:17:43.640 --> 00:17:48.240 in the hayesus Feraira Bowl where you're traveling to FC Dallas. 291 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.400 FC Dallas Right now, slight favor of the plus one 292 00:17:51.480 --> 00:17:55.119 sixty one in the composite draw is a plus two 293 00:17:55.160 --> 00:17:58.359 to twenty three seattles a plus one sixty nine. How 294 00:17:58.359 --> 00:18:00.799 do you see this one shaking out with the possibility 295 00:18:00.960 --> 00:18:04.640 of the formation change and trying to put people in 296 00:18:04.680 --> 00:18:07.559 positions where they can succeed where Seattle's concerned in a 297 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.119 game that has the context that it does, and it's. 298 00:18:11.000 --> 00:18:16.119 Gonna be difficult. I quite honestly, what's the numbers on 299 00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:16.839 Seattle again? 300 00:18:18.319 --> 00:18:20.480 Plus one sixty nine? Slide underdog? 301 00:18:21.839 --> 00:18:27.079 Wow? Look up, Seattle has one thing going for themselves 302 00:18:27.079 --> 00:18:30.480 this week. Jordan Morris seems to be back and ready 303 00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:34.079 to go. I will be asking this question later on today, 304 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:37.880 but I feel like this Seattle team is too dependent 305 00:18:37.960 --> 00:18:41.720 on Jordan Morris for the offense to work. But he'll 306 00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:45.720 be back pedro De la Vega was lights out this week. 307 00:18:47.039 --> 00:18:49.720 So I'm gonna go ahead and say that Seattle gets 308 00:18:49.759 --> 00:18:54.160 the result at Dallas and sparks their season in the 309 00:18:54.279 --> 00:18:56.920 right way. Let him say that is again, I believe 310 00:18:57.640 --> 00:19:01.440 that the Seattle Sounders will win. Oh wait, finally first 311 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:06.119 time this season at Dallas in the if you want 312 00:19:06.119 --> 00:19:09.720 to call it the revenge game, coming back home you can. 313 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:13.759 I believe in Farok's talent as a player. I think 314 00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:15.599 that he has the potential to be a good player 315 00:19:15.599 --> 00:19:20.200 for this team if you play him under Jordan Morris 316 00:19:20.240 --> 00:19:23.519 with feder Dela Vega next to him in that build 317 00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:26.920 out of having two camps behind Jordan. That's what worked 318 00:19:26.960 --> 00:19:29.119 in the preseason, so I think it'll work in this 319 00:19:29.160 --> 00:19:32.720 one if that's what Brian decides to go with. But 320 00:19:32.799 --> 00:19:35.640 I think that Seattle has enough to beat a Dallas 321 00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:38.720 team that look to be honest surprise me against Atlanta. 322 00:19:38.880 --> 00:19:41.920 So maybe I'm giving the Sounders a little too much credit, 323 00:19:42.359 --> 00:19:45.799 But I feel like this game, in my gut feels 324 00:19:45.799 --> 00:19:46.680 like Sata can win it. 325 00:19:47.640 --> 00:19:49.279 All right, let's run through the rest of them and 326 00:19:49.359 --> 00:19:51.720 Cliffhanger once again. You want to start talking about something 327 00:19:51.759 --> 00:19:54.920 you can, We'll say Atlanta and New England to the end, Toronto, 328 00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:58.640 Toronto and Minnesota United. Toronto is a home dog. Go 329 00:19:58.720 --> 00:20:02.400 watch something else like Atlanta and New England, which is 330 00:20:02.440 --> 00:20:06.599 gonna start fifteen minutes later. UH four thirty Eastern Purple 331 00:20:06.640 --> 00:20:09.559 team hosting Red Bulls. Purple teams of minus one twenty 332 00:20:09.559 --> 00:20:12.599 eight at home. Red Bulls are a plus three thirty six. 333 00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:15.720 Wow, what's the draw? 334 00:20:16.799 --> 00:20:19.759 Draw is plus two six eight in the composite. 335 00:20:19.920 --> 00:20:21.400 Well, yeah, give me the draw, give me a look. 336 00:20:21.599 --> 00:20:23.200 Let me see. It has been good. I'm not gonna 337 00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:26.799 lie about that. But so has through your city. I mean, 338 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:29.279 I'm sorry. Know your Red Bulls I'm gonna get killed 339 00:20:29.279 --> 00:20:31.880 out here. Know your Red Bulls have been good as. 340 00:20:31.720 --> 00:20:38.640 Well, very compact, very balanced, And I think this one 341 00:20:38.680 --> 00:20:40.319 is gonna be one of those things where you kind 342 00:20:40.319 --> 00:20:42.720 of eliminate each other on the field and it ends 343 00:20:42.799 --> 00:20:45.279 up being a maybe not a boring game, but one 344 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:47.640 with not a lot of scoring opportunities. 345 00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:49.279 So I'm gonna go with the drawing this. 346 00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:52.400 One, all right. So then you go past that one. 347 00:20:52.680 --> 00:20:55.200 Ce F Montreal finally gets a home game. They've they've 348 00:20:55.200 --> 00:20:57.279 said that the weather I guess is more than ten 349 00:20:57.279 --> 00:20:59.359 degrees fahrenheit. So they're gonna get a home game, and 350 00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:01.759 it's gonna be Charlotte.
