Speaker 1: Ooh, different backdrop today. Now, all right, we go from
Speaker 1: Limit to Seattle. Find out what's going on in Conca
Speaker 1: Calf in this gentleman's mind, find out what's going on
Speaker 1: in Major League Soccer the week that was, the week
Speaker 1: that will be. We're gonna cover it all here in
Speaker 1: the next half hour. Time to go to Seattle and
Speaker 1: find out what cup of coffee our buddy Nico Modeno
Speaker 1: is on.
Speaker 2: What cup of coffee are you on?
Speaker 3: Sir? Hey, what's going on? John? It is Cup number two.
Speaker 3: I am down here in the dining area because the
Speaker 3: kids are home and they are in uh spring break.
Speaker 3: So there you have it. That's why I'm down here, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Hey, it's all it's all pretty, and it's all good.
Speaker 1: He's on Cup number two. So that's that's where we're at,
Speaker 1: all right. So we started out an hour number one
Speaker 1: talking about the craziness that was Conca Calf last night,
Speaker 1: and it was probably a bit of a late night
Speaker 1: for you having to watch Cascadia and Cascadia on display,
Speaker 1: and then before that it was lafc and Messi and friends,
Speaker 1: and I went over the numb members of both oscar
Speaker 1: Ustari and Messi last night. The matches had different kind
Speaker 1: of crazy from different kind of different kind of perspectives.
Speaker 1: Your thoughts on what went down last night in conkor cat.
Speaker 3: Man it was. It was very concor caf ish with
Speaker 3: two mlestings which doesn't know you will happened. I think
Speaker 3: that we mentioned last week that inter Miami was the
Speaker 3: favorite of going into this one because you were not
Speaker 3: going to get another game where Messi was mortal. And
Speaker 3: regardless of how well systematically LAFT plays, sometimes it feels
Speaker 3: like there's a need for one more X factor in
Speaker 3: that attacking end and Denny Bwanga can't do it all.
Speaker 3: Denny Wanga cannot be the only one responsible over scoring goals.
Speaker 3: It seemed like he's the only dangerous player that consists
Speaker 3: only getting into those spaces to be dangerous. And in
Speaker 3: this one, even though LAFC started on the front foot
Speaker 3: and they put Miami on their heels and they score first,
Speaker 3: the away goal that they needed is what they gave
Speaker 3: right off the bat, and even then they're unable to
Speaker 3: kill the game. And having Macharano said it after the game,
Speaker 3: once I figured that it was the twenty fifth thirtieth
Speaker 3: minute and LAC had not finished us off. I knew
Speaker 3: that we could get back into this game, and that's
Speaker 3: what happened. Little by little. There's that goal that gets
Speaker 3: invalidated because Messi doesn't wait for the referee to blow
Speaker 3: the whistle, but it kind of gives that hope, that
Speaker 3: feeling of we can do this to Inner Miami. And
Speaker 3: after that it was all in Miami. And credit to
Speaker 3: Haavrir Macherano again that he's a coach that I did
Speaker 3: not feel like had the career or the spectifications, if
Speaker 3: you will, right to handle this Inn Miami. But he
Speaker 3: did a great man. I mean that three men build
Speaker 3: out that he kind of put together there At times
Speaker 3: it was Rodondo at Tommy, was Cello with Noah Allen
Speaker 3: and Faucone. It was just so fluid. It had so
Speaker 3: many components. It allowed Jordi to just be basically another winger.
Speaker 3: There was so many numbers moving forward for Inner Miami
Speaker 3: in the second half, and you give Messi too many
Speaker 3: chances and he's gonna come get you, He's gonna bite you.
Speaker 3: Great goal for the equalizer they built off of that.
Speaker 3: Then in the second one, did Rodondo put its head
Speaker 3: on it or not, It doesn't matter you put the
Speaker 3: balls into dangerous positions and then to finish off the game,
Speaker 3: absolute hand ball. Don't know what you're thinking with your
Speaker 3: hands out there like that inside the eighteen MENSI puts
Speaker 3: it away. End of story. LAFC does try to get
Speaker 3: back into this game in the last ten minutes or so,
Speaker 3: a little too late. There's no way that you're getting
Speaker 3: back into this one, and in the Miami goes through.
Speaker 3: Definitely the favorite in this one. And I'll spend less
Speaker 3: time on the Vancouver game, although they deserve every single
Speaker 3: credit for being relentless man because look, I thought they
Speaker 3: were the better team against Pumas, because they were playing
Speaker 3: their game. Pumas certainly had a lot of chances. Big
Speaker 3: Memo Martinez was a handful, you know, with the aerial
Speaker 3: balls and being able to get headers every single time.
Speaker 3: But Pedro Batte what a player. I thought he was
Speaker 3: the man of the match in this one. So good
Speaker 3: on the ball, so good defensively, so balanced, And although
Speaker 3: in the eighty eighth or eighty plus minute, who must
Speaker 3: gets the two to one, Vancouver never stopped moving forward.
Speaker 3: And Ocampo, who had the exact same cross at the
Speaker 3: end of the home game in the first leg, that
Speaker 3: is a header that doesn't go in. In this one, Ocampo
Speaker 3: same cross in the ninety third minute results in Vancouver
Speaker 3: getting that two to two equalizer puts them through. And
Speaker 3: uh man, it's just it talks about Vancouver and the
Speaker 3: belief that they have that they can be in every
Speaker 3: game because of their offense.
Speaker 1: Well, and you mentioned Vancouver, and it's a continuation of
Speaker 1: what happened last year with Danny Sartini, where you had
Speaker 1: the belief in Vancouver and they trusted what Sartini wanted
Speaker 1: to do with the bill. Then they go their separate ways.
Speaker 1: But it looks like this season it is gone on
Speaker 1: to that next level. Any idea why it has gone
Speaker 1: to that next level under the new head coach up there?
Speaker 3: I honestly, I hate to say it like this, but
Speaker 3: it's it. Basically, the inertia is still from certainty in
Speaker 3: my opinion, and it is the belief of certain players
Speaker 3: that have continued to grow, and it is the acquisition
Speaker 3: of a guy like Ocampo, who I think has been
Speaker 3: very important for this game and what they try to
Speaker 3: do out wide. But I do believe that when a
Speaker 3: coach has done so much like VI needed to kind
Speaker 3: of put it all together. Now the new head coach
Speaker 3: gets to take the credit because it's kind of what's
Speaker 3: being kind of working now. Credit to him as well
Speaker 3: to continue to build off of that. And if anything
Speaker 3: is different, I do think that defensively, Vancouver does tend
Speaker 3: to keep its shape a lot more. I think that
Speaker 3: he also putting pedro Vite in a position that he
Speaker 3: likes to play unteel more natural on at times certainy
Speaker 3: would move pedro Vite as a fullback and put him
Speaker 3: out wide because there's what he doesn't like to be
Speaker 3: necessarily there at all times. And I think those maybe
Speaker 3: are a couple of things that we can definitely go
Speaker 3: into the new head coach. But at the same time,
Speaker 3: I just think Vancouver has a certain belief, has a
Speaker 3: group that has a lot of continuity and that at
Speaker 3: this moment in time, they feel like they can be
Speaker 3: any team. And getting back into that game at Estadio
Speaker 3: Universitario it's not easy to do again. Obviously, for those
Speaker 3: who don't know the casual soccer watchers, it was one
Speaker 3: one on the score line, but it was too too
Speaker 3: in the aggregate, and then because he scored two goal,
Speaker 3: because he scored two goals away. That's kind of what
Speaker 3: what puts this one of Vancouver getting through.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yes for Swordensen, the new head coach for Vancouver.
Speaker 1: And the thing is, I can guarantee you that yes
Speaker 1: for Sorenson, and the joke that I use every once
Speaker 1: in a while, yes for Sorensen to a lot of folks,
Speaker 1: probably wasn't a household name in his own household, and
Speaker 1: Sowdensen comes in, and then there were a lot of
Speaker 1: folks that were raising the people's eyebrow going why would
Speaker 1: you hire yes per Sawdensen because and they would list ABCD,
Speaker 1: E and F. And right now you've got a team
Speaker 1: top of the table in the Western Conference, made their
Speaker 1: way to the semifinals in the CONCACAF Hemispheric Extravaganza. And
Speaker 1: so I think that folks need to be paying more
Speaker 1: attention to what Sawdensen is doing with taking over with
Speaker 1: what you said, with the foundation that Benny Sartiniz laid
Speaker 1: out and then adding his own little bits, especially defensively,
Speaker 1: and you mentioned with what he's doing with pedro Vite. Look,
Speaker 1: I don't think you can sleep on Vancouver anymore. And
Speaker 1: I think last night, once again reinforced that.
Speaker 3: Yeah, look, they're the highest scoring team in the Western Conference.
Speaker 3: I don't know even the league, but I know for
Speaker 3: sure that the highest scoring team in the Western Conference
Speaker 3: and at this point in time. Yes, I mean Sorrysan
Speaker 3: does deserve the credit because regardless of you've got to
Speaker 3: get these guys to buy in into the new head coach,
Speaker 3: you got to get a new buy in in what
Speaker 3: you're trying to execute. I thought that he had a
Speaker 3: really good game plan against Pumas, and he was not
Speaker 3: afraid to rub a dope a little bit and just
Speaker 3: take some of that pressure that Pumas did put him under.
Speaker 3: I thought that in set pieces, the things that were
Speaker 3: lacking in the first leg, they were not necessarily there
Speaker 3: in this one. He did a good job at at
Speaker 3: least overpopulating the places where Memo and Coco Kartida kind
Speaker 3: of hurt him. So, man, I thought that in that regard,
Speaker 3: you do got to give him a little bit of credit.
Speaker 3: But again, I do want to say that this group
Speaker 3: this talent for I think that he would have been
Speaker 3: any different with Sertini. I don't know, Man, I feel
Speaker 3: like this group is that good right now, and they
Speaker 3: just got the different believe. But yeah, absolutely. Oh and
Speaker 3: now it was three to three and agreget. I'm sorry
Speaker 3: not to to but three to three, indig and those
Speaker 3: two goals away is what putts Vancouver through.
Speaker 1: Last week in Major League Soccer, MESSI and friends due
Speaker 1: Toronto and everybody was like a freaking out. San Jose
Speaker 1: puts six on DC. I'm going backward from Sunday to Saturday.
Speaker 1: San Jose puts six on DC and it could have
Speaker 1: been a lot worse for DC. I'm still keeping an
Speaker 1: eye on DC, and I'm wondering who didn't make it
Speaker 1: off the tarmac onto the plane to come back from
Speaker 1: the West coast.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Man, it looks it was a bloodbath, if you will.
Speaker 3: Right off the beginning of the game with at angle
Speaker 3: score in the game under ten minutes, it was kind
Speaker 3: of a perfect storm there for San Jose because Joseph
Speaker 3: Martinez was feeling himself and you know he gets the
Speaker 3: hat trick. I think that this team is so much
Speaker 3: better offensively when Pellegrino and Pinosa play together at the
Speaker 3: same time. Clearly a cameo return, if you will, for
Speaker 3: this team to show and display what they can do offensively.
Speaker 3: I think Martinez that I'm gonna can play very good
Speaker 3: of each other, and if they can continue to build
Speaker 3: off of that, you can squeeze the last drops of
Speaker 3: potential that Martinez has and he can be a killer
Speaker 3: in front of goal. You just got to get him
Speaker 3: the ball there, and you got to work with him
Speaker 3: so defensively, he doesn't have to do so much. Right,
Speaker 3: you want to keep his level of energy. You got
Speaker 3: to sustain them, and I think that Bruce Arena did
Speaker 3: a great job in this one. But DC United, let's
Speaker 3: not forget about them, complete disaster. I mean, they could
Speaker 3: not hold the ball in profession. They cannot limit It
Speaker 3: seemed like San Jose was cutting through their midfield like
Speaker 3: a knife through butter. I mean, it was so simple,
Speaker 3: it was so there was nothing that San Jose was
Speaker 3: doing that I think was very complicated to figure out
Speaker 3: the triangles and the and the way they were moving
Speaker 3: the ball. But they just had no idea. DC has
Speaker 3: no one in that midfield that can get you the
Speaker 3: ball back. They don't have a disruptor. They're two spread out.
Speaker 3: They're just a team that has a lot of holes.
Speaker 1: Right now, all right, what the heck happened in the three?
Speaker 1: No lost to San Diego with Seattle.
Speaker 3: According to Brian, just three things, and I pushed back
Speaker 3: on that. I think there was more than that. We've
Speaker 3: had different discussions here with guys from the beat about
Speaker 3: how bad they lost and how good San Diego was.
Speaker 3: Clearly Brian to responsibility for the first goal, first minute
Speaker 3: corner kick. It's a quick restart on a short corner.
Speaker 3: Nobody sees it coming. When you do see it coming,
Speaker 3: Ferrera and Christian Rodan push to Tukilsano, who is the
Speaker 3: guy that gets the ball short on the corner, and
Speaker 3: then they get completely taken out by one move, one move,
Speaker 3: two players. He gets around him like training. Cones puts
Speaker 3: the ball in and it's all over. After that, Brian
Speaker 3: did say he took accountability that the team wasn't ready
Speaker 3: to go right off the bat, that that sort of
Speaker 3: situation does fall on him. I appreciate him taking accountability
Speaker 3: for that because I couldn't agree more. We knew going
Speaker 3: into this game, and I said here and I said
Speaker 3: it everywhere that I was on it. I'm just some dude.
Speaker 3: They watching soccer, and I knew that restarts and set
Speaker 3: pieces is what San Diego liked to do. To take
Speaker 3: advantage of games. That's where they have an agon teams.
Speaker 3: They don't explore so that they don't expect it. They
Speaker 3: just do it very well. And there was a couple
Speaker 3: of times in this one. One was a free kick
Speaker 3: before the first half where there's a ball that comes
Speaker 3: in behind Riens cost A Rise and it almost leads
Speaker 3: to a tukulosanog. So I like that. Brian said that
Speaker 3: clearly the Georgi Manongu experiment up top does not work.
Speaker 3: I'm very concerned about this. If Brian is more willing
Speaker 3: to try Georgia up top at the nine rather than
Speaker 3: playing with his Sue Frera at the nine, that is
Speaker 3: a lot about what Brian thinks or doesn't think of
Speaker 3: a Sue Frera up top. Brian kind of mentioned that,
Speaker 3: you know, it didn't really work, but you know, there's
Speaker 3: not really a nine. Oh but hey, suit's not really
Speaker 3: a nine. He could play up there is what he said.
Speaker 3: Don't like that quote. And I had a back and
Speaker 3: forth with Craig Wible just a week ago where I
Speaker 3: told him what the need for this team was striker Sora.
Speaker 3: You brought him in sure as a versatile player, but
Speaker 3: you know, you kind of mention that he could play
Speaker 3: the night at the leg level, and that just doesn't
Speaker 3: seem to be the case. So in this one against
Speaker 3: San Diego that did not work, still looked a little
Speaker 3: bit lost. The pressing by Seattle was a little bit
Speaker 3: too high in my opinion. They were able to uh,
Speaker 3: San Diego was able to just play through the press,
Speaker 3: but they lost the game in transition. Transition was by
Speaker 3: far the easiest way san Diego scored. Knew who way
Speaker 3: too forward, there was a bunch of space behind him.
Speaker 3: He seemed like san Diego knew exactly how to exploit
Speaker 3: the spaces behind you, and and it was all over
Speaker 3: after that. So I think just San Diego is that good.
Speaker 3: San Diego is a team that understands the way they
Speaker 3: want to play. I think that midfield completely tore apart
Speaker 3: Seattle's pivots a Nivo, Goudoy, de la Torre and mister Koff.
Speaker 3: I mean, they were just so good. They were just
Speaker 3: so much better. However, and I'll try to thins here,
Speaker 3: there's a lot of that willingness, and Brian talked about
Speaker 3: it and the post game conference where he's like, look,
Speaker 3: depending in transitions a lot about effort, and there were
Speaker 3: times where men forty year old and Nivo Gudoy cannot
Speaker 3: just be the runner into the box and hit that
Speaker 3: ball as open as he was. And the guy that's
Speaker 3: closest to him is Jorgi Manongu, who's the guy that
Speaker 3: got possessed on the right flank. So a lot of
Speaker 3: things that Satan needs to do better. Brian talked about
Speaker 3: the possibility of change information because of the lack of results,
Speaker 3: think that that might benefit the team. Although the three
Speaker 3: five two or three four two one was designed by
Speaker 3: the Sierra Saunders to create more opportunities in offense, to
Speaker 3: create havoc, to add more numbers and weed the positioning
Speaker 3: number battle in the field up top, it hasn't worked
Speaker 3: offensively and he's made you vulnerable defensively. So I think
Speaker 3: going back to the default four two three one might
Speaker 3: simplify things and get this time in the right direction.
Speaker 3: But still not good enough. Once again, and you got
Speaker 3: outplayed off the field against San Diego f C.
Speaker 1: And then you have to now turn around and play
Speaker 1: in the hayesus Feraira Bowl where you're traveling to FC Dallas.
Speaker 1: FC Dallas Right now, slight favor of the plus one
Speaker 1: sixty one in the composite draw is a plus two
Speaker 1: to twenty three seattles a plus one sixty nine. How
Speaker 1: do you see this one shaking out with the possibility
Speaker 1: of the formation change and trying to put people in
Speaker 1: positions where they can succeed where Seattle's concerned in a
Speaker 1: game that has the context that it does, and it's.
Speaker 3: Gonna be difficult. I quite honestly, what's the numbers on
Speaker 3: Seattle again?
Speaker 2: Plus one sixty nine? Slide underdog?
Speaker 3: Wow? Look up, Seattle has one thing going for themselves
Speaker 3: this week. Jordan Morris seems to be back and ready
Speaker 3: to go. I will be asking this question later on today,
Speaker 3: but I feel like this Seattle team is too dependent
Speaker 3: on Jordan Morris for the offense to work. But he'll
Speaker 3: be back pedro De la Vega was lights out this week.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go ahead and say that Seattle gets
Speaker 3: the result at Dallas and sparks their season in the
Speaker 3: right way. Let him say that is again, I believe
Speaker 3: that the Seattle Sounders will win. Oh wait, finally first
Speaker 3: time this season at Dallas in the if you want
Speaker 3: to call it the revenge game, coming back home you can.
Speaker 3: I believe in Farok's talent as a player. I think
Speaker 3: that he has the potential to be a good player
Speaker 3: for this team if you play him under Jordan Morris
Speaker 3: with feder Dela Vega next to him in that build
Speaker 3: out of having two camps behind Jordan. That's what worked
Speaker 3: in the preseason, so I think it'll work in this
Speaker 3: one if that's what Brian decides to go with. But
Speaker 3: I think that Seattle has enough to beat a Dallas
Speaker 3: team that look to be honest surprise me against Atlanta.
Speaker 3: So maybe I'm giving the Sounders a little too much credit,
Speaker 3: But I feel like this game, in my gut feels
Speaker 3: like Sata can win it.
Speaker 1: All right, let's run through the rest of them and
Speaker 1: Cliffhanger once again. You want to start talking about something
Speaker 1: you can, We'll say Atlanta and New England to the end, Toronto,
Speaker 1: Toronto and Minnesota United. Toronto is a home dog. Go
Speaker 1: watch something else like Atlanta and New England, which is
Speaker 1: gonna start fifteen minutes later. UH four thirty Eastern Purple
Speaker 1: team hosting Red Bulls. Purple teams of minus one twenty
Speaker 1: eight at home. Red Bulls are a plus three thirty six.
Speaker 3: Wow, what's the draw?
Speaker 2: Draw is plus two six eight in the composite.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, give me the draw, give me a look.
Speaker 3: Let me see. It has been good. I'm not gonna
Speaker 3: lie about that. But so has through your city. I mean,
Speaker 3: I'm sorry. Know your Red Bulls I'm gonna get killed
Speaker 3: out here. Know your Red Bulls have been good as.
Speaker 4: Well, very compact, very balanced, And I think this one
Speaker 4: is gonna be one of those things where you kind
Speaker 4: of eliminate each other on the field and it ends
Speaker 4: up being a maybe not a boring game, but one
Speaker 4: with not a lot of scoring opportunities.
Speaker 3: So I'm gonna go with the drawing this.
Speaker 1: One, all right. So then you go past that one.
Speaker 1: Ce F Montreal finally gets a home game. They've they've
Speaker 1: said that the weather I guess is more than ten
Speaker 1: degrees fahrenheit. So they're gonna get a home game, and
Speaker 1: it's gonna be Charlotte. Charlotte, by the way, is a
Speaker 1: dog at stodd Suputa at a plus one ninety five
Speaker 1: DC at home, DC at home favored against FC Cincinnati
Speaker 1: at a plus one thirty one.
Speaker 2: Hold on what uh huh, I'm staring at it right here?
Speaker 2: Right here in the composite.
Speaker 3: Ncinnati has to be good by any you know, stretch
Speaker 3: today mission engine compared to what they have. But give
Speaker 3: me Cincinnati on that one without now.
Speaker 1: Plus one eighty five for Cincinnati uh D C United
Speaker 1: at home is a plus one thirty one in the composite.
Speaker 1: So you jump jump on that now before they figure
Speaker 1: out that this is a line mistake as the kids say.
Speaker 3: Wow.
Speaker 1: Also, it is a plus one eighty five for FC
Speaker 1: Cincinnati NYC in Philadelphia, n y C. I think they
Speaker 1: are playing at the U twelve pitch at Yankee Stadium.
Speaker 1: I think that that Philadelphia is a plus one eighty
Speaker 1: nine on the road at NYC.
Speaker 2: Who's a plus one twenty of them?
Speaker 3: Well, I wouldn't want any of that, but I will
Speaker 3: say this, I was surprised at Philadelphia that golf costag.
Speaker 3: I mean, he was a player that I felt kind
Speaker 3: of was the one creative player there for that team.
Speaker 3: He did so much in the scoring name he just
Speaker 3: had a field for goal. I don't know how they're
Speaker 3: going to replace him. I looked at that roster yesterday
Speaker 3: and I hope they have a guy in mind because
Speaker 3: they're gonna need him.
Speaker 1: Vancouver coming off of the win in the advancement in
Speaker 1: the Conky Cap Hemispheric Extravaganza at home four thirty Eastern
Speaker 1: times start sorry, four to thirty local time start seven
Speaker 1: thirty Eastern Vancouver hosting Austin FC in their favorite at
Speaker 1: a minus one oh nine after playing yesterday, turning around
Speaker 1: and they're gonna play Wednesday, Saturday, and they're favored at
Speaker 1: home at a minus one oh nine taking on Austin FC.
Speaker 3: And what are Austin's numbers?
Speaker 2: Plus two nine to three.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna take Costa on that. And again they're
Speaker 3: gonna have to wrest some players there were once again
Speaker 3: stretched out to the very last minute. That midfield Cuba's
Speaker 3: beats it. They have to be absolutely exhausted. I would
Speaker 3: hope that you rotated this one, and you got to
Speaker 3: think about the next game in KUNCUF Champions Cup as well.
Speaker 3: You don't want to get anybody hurt over it. Third,
Speaker 3: So yeah, give me often.
Speaker 2: Yep, right there with you.
Speaker 1: Nashville to minus one twenty hosting RSLT plus three zero four,
Speaker 1: Colorado at home a plus one thirty nine hosting San Diego,
Speaker 1: who's a plus one seventy five. San Diego at Colorado.
Speaker 1: San Diego is the dog at a plus one seventy five.
Speaker 3: Right now, Wow, that's crazy too. Look literally, there's the
Speaker 3: opportunity for some nice part of lays this time around
Speaker 3: if you don't want to go too far into it.
Speaker 3: But man, look there's some short stuff right there for me.
Speaker 3: Like I said, Cincinnati game is good, the San Diego
Speaker 3: game seems to be another. Almost rocked Austin seems like
Speaker 3: a lock. Give me all those those games. Look, I
Speaker 3: don't want to disrespect Colorado. Fine team, they've done some things.
Speaker 3: They did get out played by a Vancouver team that
Speaker 3: needed to think about this upcoming game that they just won.
Speaker 3: They rotated a little bit. So man, give me some Diego.
Speaker 3: They've been too good, too consistent. Even the games that
Speaker 3: they haven't won, they've been better than the other team.
Speaker 3: So yeah, give me some Diego without a doubt.
Speaker 2: All right. So I know here's one that you're gonna
Speaker 2: be intrigued by. I know you're not gonna touch it.
Speaker 1: LAFC at home minus one ninety six hosting San Jose.
Speaker 1: San Jose's a plus four sixty nine to win.
Speaker 3: San Jose the four sixty nine to win. Oh Man,
Speaker 3: that seems just like a like a track for you.
Speaker 1: Just to I said, I thought you'd be interested, but
Speaker 1: I know you're not gonna mess with it.
Speaker 3: No, Man, did the one that you're like, Man, I'm
Speaker 3: gonna put my paycheck, don't do that. Don't do that.
Speaker 3: Don't don't do it. I do it? Does he feels good? Right?
Speaker 3: They're coming from a six scoring game, six one win
Speaker 3: LAFC between trying to fight Messi and Falk Collen and
Speaker 3: everything that happened there in the middle of that game,
Speaker 3: and probably pretty dies. The point it just don't do it,
Speaker 3: LAFC is more than like you're gonna take that game
Speaker 3: against San Jose. I won't touch it. No either way,
Speaker 3: I'm not touching NOE.
Speaker 1: Galaxy is a plus one ten at home against Houston,
Speaker 1: who's a plus two and a quarter sporting hosting Portland
Speaker 1: on Sunday, favorite of the plus one fourteen. Portland is
Speaker 1: a plus two to twenty Chicago and Messi and Friends.
Speaker 1: Messi and Friends. After playing at home with everything that
Speaker 1: was on the line, at least they have to wait
Speaker 1: until Sunday so that the middle game on Sunday, traveling
Speaker 1: to Chicago as a favorite at a plus one thirty four,
Speaker 1: Chicago at home is a plus one seventy one.
Speaker 3: Woo, man, I don't know if I like that one.
Speaker 2: What's the draw plus two seventy.
Speaker 3: Look, I'll think they're joining this one. Well, you look
Speaker 3: at the goal composite for the Sporting Kansas City Portland game,
Speaker 3: because I don't know why I got a little bit
Speaker 3: kick on that one. But look this one in in Miami,
Speaker 3: regardless of they're probably gonna have to road take pretty consistently.
Speaker 3: Chicago is a team that has been very up and
Speaker 3: down for me, and there's times where they look like
Speaker 3: they understand exactly what Greg wants and there's times where
Speaker 3: they just feel like they can't get it done on
Speaker 3: the field. I like that as a draw, But the
Speaker 3: Sporting Kansas City Portland game, to me, I would like
Speaker 3: Portland and the goals. Depending on what that looks like.
Speaker 3: I could see a you know, what's the three on
Speaker 3: this one?
Speaker 1: Three is a plus one seventeen. That's where it flips.
Speaker 1: Two and a half is minus one fifty one. Three
Speaker 1: is a plus one seventeen. Three and a half is
Speaker 1: a plus one sixty. That to me sounds like you'll
Speaker 1: watch it and not take it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, we can't take it. But I do like
Speaker 3: Portland Sporting canter City. They get the bump from the
Speaker 3: new head coach on the bench type of situation. In
Speaker 3: the last game Joevilish looks good and he will continue
Speaker 3: to look good. But defensively they're a little bit too open.
Speaker 3: I think Portland. Portland's attacks low key dangerous. They can
Speaker 3: really get forward on you, and they figure it out
Speaker 3: despite not having a vendor. I think mainly because of
Speaker 3: the efforts of the final end product. They get a
Speaker 3: lot of numbers in the right places. So I like
Speaker 3: Portland in this one.
Speaker 1: The last one on the board Sunday Night Soccer. All
Speaker 1: Caps is a plus one fifty two hosting crew at
Speaker 1: a plus one sixty six. Atlanta, New England Atlanta big
Speaker 1: favorite at home minus one ninety two. Revs are a
Speaker 1: plus four fifty one, draws a plus three forty one.
Speaker 1: The Revs have only scored three goals all year, two
Speaker 1: of them from Carlos Hill in one in one game
Speaker 1: against Red Bulls.
Speaker 3: I don't think I would take it, just because the
Speaker 3: numbers don't are not was that Flann again.
Speaker 1: Atlanta is plus Atlanta's a minus one ninety five.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, no, I'm not gonna mess with it. What
Speaker 3: I will say is this, There's no way a Plant's
Speaker 3: going to drop this game. But man, it be hard
Speaker 3: to watch sometimes, I really have. My expectations were so
Speaker 3: high and I need to bring those down at some
Speaker 3: point in time. But I don't think to drop this one.
Speaker 3: I just don't want to touch it because of the
Speaker 3: numbers for sure.
Speaker 2: All right, what's going on?
Speaker 1: Pulsar Sports, Sound at Heart and lobbying water Balloons.
Speaker 3: Absolutely. Man, we will actually be recording today because the
Speaker 3: Sounders will travel and they will not practice here at
Speaker 3: home tomorrow, So expect that early version, early segment of
Speaker 3: what we learned this with meet Jeremiah and I. We
Speaker 3: will be breaking down everything about the week of Ryan
Speaker 3: Kent supposed to be was supposed to be in Vancouver
Speaker 3: yesterday by the way handling his visa situation. So there
Speaker 3: is a chance, a possibility that if it all goes well,
Speaker 3: he does travel with the team or at least meets
Speaker 3: them in Dallas if need be. And I don't know,
Speaker 3: maybe you get to see the first writing can debut.
Speaker 3: That's going to be very interesting. Because he's looked absolutely
Speaker 3: lights out. So go ahead and wait for that pot.

Speaker 3: give you guys any updates that we'll find out today.
Speaker 3: On Monday, of course, Loven's Courches kickoffs with Ari. That's
Speaker 3: been a big success. People seem to really like they
