WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:02.240 That's the handoff, and now it's time to catch up. 2 00:00:02.279 --> 00:00:04.679 So you said cup number three, Is that correct? 3 00:00:04.879 --> 00:00:08.640 Oh yeah, oh yeah, that is Cup number three, and 4 00:00:08.679 --> 00:00:11.679 it's finally hitting man. Right before I jumped on, I 5 00:00:11.720 --> 00:00:14.439 was still kind of trying to figure it out. I'm 6 00:00:14.839 --> 00:00:16.320 feeling I'm signing to get it back. 7 00:00:17.239 --> 00:00:20.920 Obviously, we will end with Cliffhanger, as we always do. 8 00:00:21.079 --> 00:00:24.079 But last night we say I saved the Western Conference 9 00:00:24.120 --> 00:00:26.920 discussion for when you get to come by because of 10 00:00:26.960 --> 00:00:29.000 the chaos that is a different kind of chaos in 11 00:00:29.039 --> 00:00:32.000 the West than it is in the East. Western Conference 12 00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.000 matchups last night Houston at Hell and a shell tiede 13 00:00:35.039 --> 00:00:37.759 Vancouver won one. Kansas City, I think with the shock 14 00:00:37.799 --> 00:00:41.520 of the night beating Colorado for to one at Children's 15 00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:45.000 Mercy Cincinnati on the road, knocking the Loons out to one, 16 00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:49.000 and then you end up with Salt Lake, who's been 17 00:00:49.039 --> 00:00:52.719 trying to find themselves, you know, when you don't have 18 00:00:52.759 --> 00:00:56.200 a die Gomez anymore, and they did last night at 19 00:00:56.200 --> 00:01:00.600 home at Rio Tinto against Dallas three to two and 20 00:01:00.679 --> 00:01:04.560 Austin tiet one on the road. But if you look 21 00:01:04.599 --> 00:01:08.200 at Sebastian Dreusei's social media's he might be over the 22 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:13.400 whole thing in Austin. You mentioned Seattle and San Jose. 23 00:01:13.519 --> 00:01:15.200 That should have been three points for you and it 24 00:01:15.239 --> 00:01:17.359 only ended up being one. I can just imagine what 25 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:19.959 sports talk is going to be outside of us this 26 00:01:20.040 --> 00:01:25.159 morning and then the the chaos of Portland and Los Angeles. 27 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:29.159 You Dylan Butler was on yesterday from MLS Soccer dot com. 28 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:30.400 He said it was going to be a six ' 29 00:01:30.439 --> 00:01:34.239 five banger. Unfortunately the juice boxes only went up to 30 00:01:34.319 --> 00:01:36.480 five and a half and it was a four figure 31 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:39.319 number and if you went five and a half, if 32 00:01:39.319 --> 00:01:42.000 you went over on five and a half, you came 33 00:01:42.000 --> 00:01:45.640 out and the juice boxes pretty sexy. Because Portland put 34 00:01:45.680 --> 00:01:49.840 four on LA. It was chaotic, but it didn't seem 35 00:01:50.040 --> 00:01:51.799 like it was going to be, you know, like it 36 00:01:51.879 --> 00:01:53.640 was going to be close at times, like it was 37 00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:55.760 at three to two, and then Portland gets a one 38 00:01:55.799 --> 00:01:57.799 from more or elate to go four to with the 39 00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.799 Western Conference With what happened last night, what do you think? 40 00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:05.159 First of all, I mean, that was a Mexican brawl 41 00:02:05.200 --> 00:02:07.400 and knew you knew that coming in. I mean that 42 00:02:07.519 --> 00:02:10.840 was like Morales Barrera, like pac Man Marquees, like you 43 00:02:10.919 --> 00:02:13.000 know it was gonna be, you know, all out because 44 00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:16.039 there are two offensive squads, right, I mean, you can 45 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:18.360 tell what you want about the Timbers back line and 46 00:02:18.400 --> 00:02:21.759 the deficiencies defensively, by boy, do they have weapons on 47 00:02:21.800 --> 00:02:25.080 the offensive side, and so do LA. So that was 48 00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:26.879 a great game. There's one of the ones that kept 49 00:02:26.879 --> 00:02:30.120 me up last night watching ninety minutes of it, and 50 00:02:30.199 --> 00:02:32.120 you could just see it right. So when I look 51 00:02:32.159 --> 00:02:35.960 at the standings, man, I just think that it's a 52 00:02:36.000 --> 00:02:39.240 good reflection of what's going on. For the most part, 53 00:02:39.719 --> 00:02:42.719 I feel like Seattle's still above where they really should be. 54 00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:47.599 I think that oursel now has a chance to win 55 00:02:47.639 --> 00:02:53.719 the Western Conference. LAFC dropping points, LAFC has They've struggled, 56 00:02:53.960 --> 00:02:57.360 and I've seen it consistently. Now they've went back to 57 00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:59.599 a four man back line, and I'm not sure is 58 00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:03.319 because of the Murijo injury, and I feel like they're 59 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:06.159 at their best when they're playing with those three monsters 60 00:03:06.159 --> 00:03:10.199 in the back. Not sure if there's also a little 61 00:03:10.199 --> 00:03:16.439 bit of exhausting players and a lot of like the 62 00:03:16.479 --> 00:03:23.680 grind of the entirety of the season, bu Wanga, kick Olivera, 63 00:03:23.840 --> 00:03:25.919 all these guys that were at a really high level 64 00:03:25.960 --> 00:03:28.560 at one point. Right now they're they're just not as 65 00:03:28.680 --> 00:03:32.680 high and they've really they've really struggled with that. They 66 00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:35.319 really need those guys to be on points. So I 67 00:03:35.360 --> 00:03:40.159 think Oursel last night they founded without Carlos Gums. Finally 68 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:45.000 they've struggled to do that. Julio was the demand. I 69 00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:49.639 mean he did everything out, running defenders, doing the Audigino 70 00:03:49.800 --> 00:03:55.879 type of shots from have field, putting it together. No Chicho, right, 71 00:03:56.039 --> 00:03:59.479 and you still get a good result against a good 72 00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:03.639 team that really challenged you because Dallas did that. So 73 00:04:04.240 --> 00:04:07.520 I think RSSEL can really get up there. So I 74 00:04:07.560 --> 00:04:11.319 think still from one to four, that's what you're gonna get. 75 00:04:11.360 --> 00:04:14.199 It doesn't matter how those four move. I think that 76 00:04:14.759 --> 00:04:19.000 those four teams that you see right now, Galaxy, RSL, LAFC, 77 00:04:19.160 --> 00:04:22.439 and Colorado, those are gonna fight those four spots until 78 00:04:22.480 --> 00:04:24.839 the end of the season. I don't see anybody below 79 00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:29.519 that get in above. I see Seattle maybe maybe struggling. 80 00:04:30.279 --> 00:04:32.720 We'll see what happened with Houston. That's their next game, 81 00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:36.639 right and they have a bye week, so teams are 82 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.279 gonna be able to get some coins on them, so 83 00:04:39.399 --> 00:04:44.040 in ten days they'll face Houston directly can be back 84 00:04:44.120 --> 00:04:47.199 by then because you know how much Houston misses that guy. 85 00:04:47.639 --> 00:04:51.040 So I just think that we'll see a lot of movement. 86 00:04:51.319 --> 00:04:53.639 Seattle still get in, I have no doubt Settle still 87 00:04:53.639 --> 00:04:56.720 get in, but I think Portland and Houston are gonna 88 00:04:56.720 --> 00:05:00.000 be above the Seattle Sounders by the end of the seas. 89 00:05:00.800 --> 00:05:03.040 I mean, it's and we're looking at the same thing 90 00:05:03.079 --> 00:05:05.920 in the Eastern Conference, although it's a little lower where 91 00:05:06.319 --> 00:05:11.040 traditionally you see the Purple team on the slow fade. 92 00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.240 Once Oscar Pere how realizes, oh I'm in the playoffs now, 93 00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:17.040 then you just kind of see Traditionally you would see 94 00:05:17.040 --> 00:05:20.439 them kind of go. Charlotte is the one that is 95 00:05:20.560 --> 00:05:22.800 really doing that, and that angle is pretty steep for 96 00:05:22.920 --> 00:05:25.920 Charlotte right now, with five matches to go in the 97 00:05:25.920 --> 00:05:29.240 regular season, they were in the seven. They've only won 98 00:05:29.360 --> 00:05:33.519 once in the last two months, and if it wasn't 99 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:35.759 for Christian Kalina, I think they'd be a lot worse. 100 00:05:36.000 --> 00:05:38.480 But they're the ones that are doing the fade, and 101 00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:42.639 they're drawing Toronto into the seven. Philly and DC and 102 00:05:42.720 --> 00:05:47.160 Atlanta and Nashville and Montreal. Everybody who is seven teams 103 00:05:47.160 --> 00:05:50.000 five points from nine to fifteen. They hit a hot streak. 104 00:05:50.360 --> 00:05:53.560 They're drawing themselves up close. I think Charlotte's the team 105 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:55.600 to look at in the home stretch here and kind 106 00:05:55.639 --> 00:05:57.959 of sit there and go, I don't know, man. 107 00:05:58.879 --> 00:06:02.360 First of all, talking about Nashville, I mean bj Kallen 108 00:06:02.439 --> 00:06:04.560 had just came and figured it out. I mean, what 109 00:06:04.720 --> 00:06:07.120 is going on? I thought nasha was a team that 110 00:06:07.120 --> 00:06:09.160 we would not worry about for the rest of the season, 111 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:13.639 and they found some fire. They found it just recently. 112 00:06:13.800 --> 00:06:17.079 So a couple of wings back to back. I think 113 00:06:17.199 --> 00:06:21.680 Orlando they also have figured out, and that team is 114 00:06:21.759 --> 00:06:24.759 very talented, and if they continue to play oh Haita 115 00:06:24.879 --> 00:06:27.480 in that tank position just seems to be on real 116 00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:31.720 for condo tourists, is very confident, whether it's Enriquez or 117 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:38.680 whether it's Duncan. They have some really good strikers and 118 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:40.920 finish yours off top. So that's gonna be interesting. But 119 00:06:40.959 --> 00:06:44.079 I give you, and I do buy in on Charlotte 120 00:06:44.160 --> 00:06:51.040 just not having enough. Sometimes your goalkeeper can only do 121 00:06:51.079 --> 00:06:54.639 so much, defensive presence can only do so much, and 122 00:06:54.680 --> 00:06:58.399 when you can't challenge teams and you can get back 123 00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:00.720 from at least a one zero deafest said, it's just 124 00:07:00.800 --> 00:07:02.800 very hard to do and I just don't think they 125 00:07:02.839 --> 00:07:09.040 have enough creative players to generate enough to just be 126 00:07:09.120 --> 00:07:12.040 able to come back from a game whether there's a 127 00:07:12.040 --> 00:07:14.879 one zero deficit two zero deficit, and in MLS you 128 00:07:14.959 --> 00:07:17.279 need that from time to time. So I'll give you that. 129 00:07:17.959 --> 00:07:22.279 I still believe in in Atlanta. I still think DC 130 00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:27.560 United's gonna have some to say. So we'll see, but 131 00:07:27.920 --> 00:07:30.199 I do see Charlotte being the team that comes off 132 00:07:30.519 --> 00:07:34.120 to Toronto. Man to Toronto's that's so hard to figure 133 00:07:34.120 --> 00:07:36.279 out sometimes because I feel like they have the components 134 00:07:36.279 --> 00:07:38.600 to be a tough playoff team, but they got to 135 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:41.160 get there first. They got to get their first and 136 00:07:41.360 --> 00:07:45.279 their schedule is not easy necessarily. I like a lot 137 00:07:45.279 --> 00:07:47.160 of the talent, I like a lot of the pieces 138 00:07:48.879 --> 00:07:51.959 because they end up playing they finished the season with Miami, 139 00:07:52.480 --> 00:07:56.439 they play Red Bulls. Chicago is an easy one, but 140 00:07:56.680 --> 00:08:00.639 there's just some some games there Colorado where you know 141 00:08:00.720 --> 00:08:04.160 things can get complicated for Toronto. But I'm with you. 142 00:08:04.199 --> 00:08:05.959 I think Charlotte can be the team that comes off 143 00:08:06.000 --> 00:08:07.879 the easiest. 144 00:08:07.399 --> 00:08:10.800 And three out of four in that Toronto mess because 145 00:08:11.199 --> 00:08:12.920 they only have one less they got one less match 146 00:08:12.920 --> 00:08:15.199 and everybody else so three of those mentioned in the 147 00:08:15.279 --> 00:08:19.079 run and it's gonna be pretty tough. We were having 148 00:08:19.240 --> 00:08:24.199 a philosophical argument on the show this week. Obviously here 149 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:28.439 people are frustrated about the state of things and uh, 150 00:08:28.759 --> 00:08:32.279 you know, wanting more players in the transfer window, even 151 00:08:32.279 --> 00:08:34.159 though you end up with Amador and mid un Chuok, 152 00:08:34.799 --> 00:08:37.000 you're still looking for that winger. You're still looking for 153 00:08:37.080 --> 00:08:40.799 the starting nine. Uh, you're looking for a head coach 154 00:08:40.919 --> 00:08:43.720 all you're looking for a technical director GM, whatever you 155 00:08:43.759 --> 00:08:46.240 want to call it. And there was frustration here in 156 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:53.200 the market about fans throwing their hands up basically, and 157 00:08:53.240 --> 00:08:55.559 it's just like, look, I just don't even go into 158 00:08:55.600 --> 00:08:58.320 the playoffs, don't make it in play the kids. Those 159 00:08:58.399 --> 00:09:02.360 kinds of things are you seeing in the Western Conference? 160 00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:06.080 Not necessarily in Seattle because Brian's already playing the kids, 161 00:09:06.120 --> 00:09:09.519 because you mentioned Red Baker, Whiting and Paul Rothrock getting 162 00:09:09.519 --> 00:09:12.919 minutes and things like that. Are you seeing the teams 163 00:09:13.039 --> 00:09:15.960 that are kind of hovering toward the playoff bar in 164 00:09:16.000 --> 00:09:18.159 the Western Conference? Are you sensing the same kind of 165 00:09:18.159 --> 00:09:22.480 frustration from them? Or when you interact with other fan bases, 166 00:09:22.559 --> 00:09:24.759 are you seeing fans that want to sit there and 167 00:09:24.759 --> 00:09:26.600 it's like, yeah, I mean I want to push into 168 00:09:26.639 --> 00:09:28.279 the playoffs. I want to see where we can go. 169 00:09:28.759 --> 00:09:31.600 Or are you seeing fans that are apathetic with those 170 00:09:31.639 --> 00:09:33.679 teams right there on the edge. So it's like, now, 171 00:09:33.679 --> 00:09:35.759 we'll go ahead and we'll work on what's wrong with 172 00:09:35.840 --> 00:09:37.519 us and we'll get ready for next season. 173 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:40.200 What do you see? Yeah? The two famisies that they 174 00:09:40.279 --> 00:09:43.879 see the most frustrated are ones that I think we 175 00:09:43.919 --> 00:09:45.559 saw coming and I told you they were going to 176 00:09:45.600 --> 00:09:49.519 be ahead of cold season, which is Minnesota. And those 177 00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:53.519 fans that they want just radical changes and they want 178 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:57.120 things to just get figured out. And even if they 179 00:09:57.159 --> 00:10:00.600 do have the coach for the future, they feel like 180 00:10:00.679 --> 00:10:04.720 the the future in terms of players is just not 181 00:10:04.840 --> 00:10:08.759 there right. They don't have that, they don't have enough 182 00:10:08.879 --> 00:10:11.440 of the new DPS to know where they're going. There 183 00:10:11.440 --> 00:10:15.679 are questions about Pooky, and there's questions about the style 184 00:10:15.759 --> 00:10:18.679 of play. So those are the fan bases that I 185 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.639 feel like maybe are in that let's just if we 186 00:10:21.679 --> 00:10:24.840 don't make it, maybe it'll be good for us to 187 00:10:25.000 --> 00:10:30.200 just reset, restart it and get going. In Austin, Austin 188 00:10:30.240 --> 00:10:32.360 fans as well. They have been fed up for a 189 00:10:32.679 --> 00:10:35.559 very long time. You mentioned the Rusie. We go back 190 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:38.240 to Fagundes and the problems that they had with him 191 00:10:38.240 --> 00:10:42.799 and how much the fan base loved him. There's many 192 00:10:42.879 --> 00:10:46.039 that have been calling for the head coach for a 193 00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:49.600 very long time and they haven't got that. So that 194 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:52.120 could be another team that they would rather perhaps just 195 00:10:52.159 --> 00:10:54.679 not make that push at the end of the season, 196 00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:59.559 be eliminated, and then that's going to create what everybody's 197 00:10:59.600 --> 00:11:02.279 been looking for, which is changes from the top all 198 00:11:02.320 --> 00:11:03.159 the way to the bottom. 199 00:11:03.480 --> 00:11:06.480 Okay, it's Cliffhanger time, and we know what that means. 200 00:11:06.480 --> 00:11:09.600 This is where we sit there and look at our buddy, 201 00:11:09.679 --> 00:11:12.919 Nico's juice boxes and figure out what he wants to 202 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:15.240 do with him in addition to his cups of coffee 203 00:11:15.440 --> 00:11:18.720 and all weekend long, and we get an early start 204 00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.080 and it's an intriguing one. On Saturday, Messi and Friends 205 00:11:22.120 --> 00:11:24.879 on the road to Yankee Stadium to take on NYC. 206 00:11:25.080 --> 00:11:29.559 It's a two o'clock start in in the Yankee Stadium 207 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:33.639 in the Bronx slight underdog Messi and Friends. After what 208 00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:37.200 happened last night, NYC's favored at a plus one forty seven. 209 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:39.320 I'm just gonna run through games and you just start 210 00:11:39.320 --> 00:11:41.279 talking about him when you want to talk about something. 211 00:11:41.840 --> 00:11:43.960 Yeah, what are the numbers of New to Miami again? 212 00:11:44.480 --> 00:11:48.799 Plus one sixty? They are the road dog. 213 00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.840 She does a tough one simply because in New City 214 00:11:53.879 --> 00:11:57.799 of Sea gets blown out, but in in Miami got 215 00:11:57.799 --> 00:11:59.919 pushed in a limit by Atlanta and they have so 216 00:12:00.200 --> 00:12:05.200 many injuries, specifically in that back line. Ian Fray seems 217 00:12:05.200 --> 00:12:08.200 like he cannot go anymore. Christoph came off because he 218 00:12:08.320 --> 00:12:09.879 was done. I don't know if it was a cramp 219 00:12:10.039 --> 00:12:13.480 or he pulled something. We got at some point was 220 00:12:13.759 --> 00:12:16.799 on the ground holding his knee. I mean, there's a 221 00:12:16.799 --> 00:12:20.720 lot of components there where you know, maybe New York 222 00:12:20.720 --> 00:12:23.519 CITYFC does have a little bit of that edge. What 223 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:25.679 are the goals on that? Maybe I'm more interested on 224 00:12:25.720 --> 00:12:26.279 the goals. 225 00:12:26.360 --> 00:12:29.120 Okay, So let's check the goals on it and see 226 00:12:29.159 --> 00:12:34.279 where we are currently. Let's see the over under seriously. Yeah, man, 227 00:12:34.360 --> 00:12:36.360 last night the over under at five and a half 228 00:12:36.360 --> 00:12:40.559 for Portland and Lag was like plus two thousand. I mean, 229 00:12:40.559 --> 00:12:46.440 it was sick. It doesn't change until three two and 230 00:12:46.480 --> 00:12:49.919 a half is one fifty minus one fifty four three 231 00:12:50.080 --> 00:12:52.320 is a plus side at one oh six. Three and 232 00:12:52.399 --> 00:12:54.600 a half is a plus one sixty. So if you 233 00:12:54.639 --> 00:12:56.799 want to say two to one, you could get that 234 00:12:56.799 --> 00:12:58.559 out a plus one oh six. If you want to 235 00:12:58.559 --> 00:13:01.759 go higher than that, you're looking three and a half 236 00:13:01.799 --> 00:13:03.039 at plus one sixty. 237 00:13:04.080 --> 00:13:06.120 Yeah, I'll probably go three and a half, three and 238 00:13:06.159 --> 00:13:10.240 a half, I feel comfortable with I think that that 239 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:13.720 could be a minimum for that game in Miami, regardless 240 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:15.639 of what's going on in the back end. You can 241 00:13:15.720 --> 00:13:17.840 tell and you can see how they were able to 242 00:13:17.879 --> 00:13:20.799 expose Atlanta a couple of times yesterday, but they were 243 00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:23.559 also exposed to times. I mean, if it's not because 244 00:13:23.639 --> 00:13:26.679 Moscarra cannot finish in front of goal, Atlanta probably wins 245 00:13:26.720 --> 00:13:30.000 that game. Three two. I mean that breakaway Moscara had 246 00:13:30.039 --> 00:13:34.440 on that right side. I mean, yes, obviously credit to 247 00:13:34.480 --> 00:13:37.000 the goalkeeper, but you should finish that. So I think 248 00:13:37.000 --> 00:13:39.919 this one could be three and a half at the 249 00:13:40.039 --> 00:13:42.200 very least. I'll take that, all right. 250 00:13:42.360 --> 00:13:45.080 Charlotte on the minus side, hosting the Revs at minus 251 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:48.840 one forty seven c F Montreal plus one nineteen hosting 252 00:13:48.919 --> 00:13:52.240 Chicago Fire a plus two oh six crew and the 253 00:13:52.240 --> 00:13:56.320 Purple team seven thirty so seven forty start crew a 254 00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.440 minus one thirty three, Purple team a plus three twenty one. 255 00:13:59.519 --> 00:14:01.399 Your draw is a plus three oh three? 256 00:14:02.320 --> 00:14:07.120 Wow? Oh uh huh wow uh man. I don't know 257 00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:09.360 if I have the guts to take Orlando against Columbus, 258 00:14:09.440 --> 00:14:12.960 but that that that that is tempting, very tempting, for sure. 259 00:14:14.639 --> 00:14:16.720 What's the what are the goals on that one? 260 00:14:16.840 --> 00:14:19.320 I say, when when you weren't gonna pick a side, 261 00:14:19.360 --> 00:14:21.679 I'm sitting there thinking, Okay, he's looking at the number. 262 00:14:22.039 --> 00:14:25.320 He is absolutely looking at the number. Yeah, all right, 263 00:14:25.399 --> 00:14:27.279 So goals, we'll start at two and a half, two 264 00:14:27.320 --> 00:14:30.360 and a half a minus one seventy five. Three is 265 00:14:30.399 --> 00:14:33.320 a minus one oh nine. Three and a half is 266 00:14:33.320 --> 00:14:35.519 a plus is it? Three and a half is a 267 00:14:35.559 --> 00:14:36.559 plus one forty one? 268 00:14:38.440 --> 00:14:45.080 Jeez? Man? So so what's four? Does it go that high? 269 00:14:45.159 --> 00:14:45.799 Four and a half? 270 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:49.600 Four and a half is plus three twenty three? 271 00:14:51.000 --> 00:14:55.320 No, no, no, no, there's a reason why that's so high. Yeah. Yeah, 272 00:14:55.320 --> 00:14:56.960 I mean, if I have to take on that, I 273 00:14:57.000 --> 00:14:59.919 probably I'll probably do the three and a half maybe, 274 00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:03.360 but yeah, that's a tough one. I think I would 275 00:15:03.399 --> 00:15:06.240 love to take orlanda city but they are so hard 276 00:15:06.320 --> 00:15:09.279 to figure out. And although they have looked a lot better, 277 00:15:09.559 --> 00:15:12.600 Columbus is Columbus, and I'm not betting against Columbus, all right. 278 00:15:12.639 --> 00:15:15.440 So I'm gonna save Red Bulls in Atlanta, United and Seattle, 279 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:19.960 and uh, what you're up to? Uh what you're You're off, 280 00:15:20.000 --> 00:15:21.960 aren't you? You don't have a you don't have a Uh. 281 00:15:22.159 --> 00:15:24.759 Yeah, we're off. Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've got a buye week. 282 00:15:24.919 --> 00:15:27.360 Okay, So I'll save Red Bulls in Atlanta for last 283 00:15:28.799 --> 00:15:32.840 COPA Tajas Houston favored on the road at Q two 284 00:15:32.879 --> 00:15:35.840 at a plus one fifty taking on Austin FC. FC 285 00:15:36.039 --> 00:15:39.320 Dallas a dog at home, taking on LAFC, who's probably 286 00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:42.360 gonna come in mad at a plus one fourteen. FC 287 00:15:42.519 --> 00:15:45.559 Dallas a plus two oh nine. Nashville a big home 288 00:15:45.600 --> 00:15:48.440 dog against f C Cincinnati, no real surprise at a 289 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:51.679 plus one eighty nine. FC Cincinnati's a plus one thirty seven. 290 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:54.919 Sporting on the minus side minus one oh six, hosting 291 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.159 the Loons at the plus two forty eight Rapids minus 292 00:15:58.200 --> 00:16:01.600 one thirty five hosting Toronto at plus three twenty two. 293 00:16:01.960 --> 00:16:06.919 RSL minus one twenty seven Portland to plus two seventy eight, 294 00:16:07.600 --> 00:16:12.279 Galaxy minus one eighteen hosting Vancouver at plus two seventy 295 00:16:12.360 --> 00:16:17.279 three and San Jose and All Caps. The Juice Boxers 296 00:16:17.279 --> 00:16:19.399 were like, put a blanket over that one more than 297 00:16:19.440 --> 00:16:22.039 the margin of error in and around plus one fifty 298 00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:25.639 Sunday game Philly and DC. Philly is minus one eighteen 299 00:16:25.720 --> 00:16:27.759 DC coming to town of a plus two sixty six. 300 00:16:27.799 --> 00:16:29.559 What sticks in your head? Uh? 301 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:32.159 That also Lake Portland? Man, I don't know why is 302 00:16:32.200 --> 00:16:38.399 calling my name Rsel As much as they showed us 303 00:16:38.600 --> 00:16:41.919 last night that they have the business and they can 304 00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:45.159 do it if they play us open as they did 305 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:49.679 Dallas and they and they take that right to Portland. 306 00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:53.159 Portland will give him house. So let me get the goals. 307 00:16:53.240 --> 00:16:56.480 But I'm gonna take Portland regardless of I think Portland. 308 00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.519 It's it's an interesting one. I think that they met 309 00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:04.400 chup well against rsl uh So. Yeah, let me get Portland, 310 00:17:04.400 --> 00:17:06.039 but let me let me see the goals, because I 311 00:17:06.680 --> 00:17:08.279 would be willing to go. 312 00:17:09.880 --> 00:17:11.839 Four and a half of now ooh four and a 313 00:17:11.880 --> 00:17:13.319 half a plus two twenty one. 314 00:17:14.839 --> 00:17:17.839 Hey man, give me that double down man, love that 315 00:17:18.119 --> 00:17:19.480 I like to see it. I don't know why you 316 00:17:19.519 --> 00:17:21.359 call my name, and sometimes you've got to go with 317 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:26.720 the gut. That's an interesting one, but that's probably the 318 00:17:27.400 --> 00:17:29.559 one that really really sticks out for me. 319 00:17:29.759 --> 00:17:31.200 Yeah, no doubt. I mean, there are a lot of 320 00:17:31.200 --> 00:17:33.599 teams that are favored at home, and there's some lopsided 321 00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:35.920 matchups that really don't have any bearing on the playoff 322 00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:38.599 picture four and a half plus two twenty one in 323 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:41.319 that matchup, so it was it was calling out the 324 00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:43.440 sirens song? Was there the plus two twenty one? 325 00:17:43.519 --> 00:17:46.640 Yeah? Man, I just see it. Man, this is look 326 00:17:47.319 --> 00:17:50.519 probably hiitting up going into the playoffs. I think that 327 00:17:50.559 --> 00:17:52.400 it could be a real dark horse. If you're not 328 00:17:52.440 --> 00:17:56.319 thinking that that Portland is the team that is gonna 329 00:17:56.319 --> 00:17:59.559 give you problems, they're gonna end up getting you out 330 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:02.000 of the out of the playoffs. I go back to 331 00:18:02.079 --> 00:18:07.119 that Seattle Portland game where Bill Neville decided to just 332 00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:11.519 keep his uh fullbacks home and just play a little 333 00:18:11.559 --> 00:18:16.359 bit more cautiously. And then that was without two main players. 334 00:18:16.599 --> 00:18:20.440 Obviously no Cavecita and I don't think no evandering now on. 335 00:18:21.000 --> 00:18:24.839 So even then they were able to really kind of 336 00:18:24.920 --> 00:18:26.599 change it up a little bit. So I feel like 337 00:18:26.680 --> 00:18:29.519 going into the playoffs, Phil will be able to do 338 00:18:30.160 --> 00:18:35.039 enough adjustments to just ease up the issues in the 339 00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:37.720 back end and then just let those monsters up top 340 00:18:37.799 --> 00:18:41.160 do their thing. Uh, Evander is hot. Was thinking it 341 00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:46.000 was thirteen goals already. Mousquerra looks really, really comfortable, really good. 342 00:18:46.400 --> 00:18:49.279 Felipe Mora. I think he should be called up by Chile. 343 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:53.279 So man, I think Portland is going to be a problem. 344 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:55.200 All right. The one that called out to me is 345 00:18:55.240 --> 00:18:58.599 you were talking sirens, songs and totals. L A G 346 00:18:58.799 --> 00:19:03.119 and Vancouver. Three and a half is a plus one 347 00:19:03.160 --> 00:19:07.240 eleven four is a plus one eighty five. Four and 348 00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:10.079 a half is a plus two forty six. I like 349 00:19:10.680 --> 00:19:12.599 just as a little one. I like the three and 350 00:19:12.640 --> 00:19:16.920 a half in Lag in Vancouver. I'm thinking some goals 351 00:19:17.000 --> 00:19:19.759 can be had there, But I'm traditionally a chicken, so 352 00:19:19.799 --> 00:19:21.240 I'm only going to go up to the three and 353 00:19:21.240 --> 00:19:24.480 a half when it comes to Lag and the white Caps. 354 00:19:25.039 --> 00:19:27.039 Yeah, what did you say? It was the four and 355 00:19:27.079 --> 00:19:27.759 a half on that one. 356 00:19:27.960 --> 00:19:29.599 Well, hang on, all right, let me go back, all right, 357 00:19:29.680 --> 00:19:35.680 So Lag and Vancouver. The four and a half on 358 00:19:36.000 --> 00:19:39.480 Lag and Vancouver is a plus two four six. 359 00:19:42.079 --> 00:19:43.519 I'd be willing to go four and a half in 360 00:19:43.599 --> 00:19:46.559 now on myself, Okay, I really would That could be 361 00:19:46.599 --> 00:19:51.720 a very open ended game. We know what Las Eli 362 00:19:51.799 --> 00:19:56.559 Galaxy can do. They fell short against Portland. They're gonna 363 00:19:56.559 --> 00:19:59.640 want to come out there and just give it all 364 00:19:59.680 --> 00:20:03.839 to Thevancouver. If Vancouver is needed of points, they're not 365 00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:09.200 fearful to just push up those wingbacks. So yeah, that 366 00:20:09.640 --> 00:20:11.759 could be a little bit of a battle right there. Yeah. 367 00:20:12.000 --> 00:20:14.519 Last one on the board for US Red Bulls minus 368 00:20:14.519 --> 00:20:16.799 one forty five Atlanta United on the road of a 369 00:20:16.839 --> 00:20:19.519 plus three point fifty one your draw at Red Bull 370 00:20:19.559 --> 00:20:21.400 Arena plus three oh seven. What do you think? 371 00:20:22.160 --> 00:20:25.279 Fifty one for Atlanta? Yeah, yeah, I'll be willing to 372 00:20:25.319 --> 00:20:29.559 take it. Look, Red Bulls is another team that I 373 00:20:29.599 --> 00:20:33.759 felt like, had they brought in one more piece in 374 00:20:33.880 --> 00:20:37.240 the summer window, we'd probably be talking about a really, 375 00:20:37.279 --> 00:20:40.759 really good team. But they struggle in the offensive end. 376 00:20:40.799 --> 00:20:45.000 They're very sporadic there. Sometimes they can give you what 377 00:20:45.039 --> 00:20:48.519 you got, and I think against Atlanta, you need to 378 00:20:48.640 --> 00:20:52.400 force Atlanta to defend and you need to push back, 379 00:20:52.839 --> 00:20:54.960 just like Miami did last night. And I don't know 380 00:20:55.000 --> 00:20:57.920 if Red Bulls are going to be willing to do that. 381 00:20:58.599 --> 00:21:00.759 I mean they lost to Shit. I go for christ 382 00:21:00.799 --> 00:21:04.000 six two to one. So I really do think that 383 00:21:04.279 --> 00:21:07.960 Atlantic can take the momentum from a very well fought 384 00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:12.359 game against Inner Miami and and and bring it against 385 00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:14.599 Red Bulls and get get a get a result. 386 00:21:15.319 --> 00:21:17.440 Soccer Bar and Pulso Sports, what do we need to know? 387 00:21:18.400 --> 00:21:20.480 Uh, soccer Bar today was gonna be delayed all the 388 00:21:20.480 --> 00:21:26.240 way till eleven o'clock Pacific, as we are working on 389 00:21:26.519 --> 00:21:27.920 getting a couple of things going. 390 00:21:28.440 --> 00:21:28.680 Uh. 391 00:21:28.759 --> 00:21:32.119 We will have Ernand Lopez, who talked to me after 392 00:21:32.440 --> 00:21:37.640 the frustrating to two draft for Seattle, but one of 393 00:21:37.680 --> 00:21:41.039 the left that sions a laca, We're very happy despite 394 00:21:41.079 --> 00:21:44.920 being eliminated. He tells me we're playing for positions. We're 395 00:21:44.960 --> 00:21:48.680 playing to show everybody that we are a good collective unit. 396 00:21:49.000 --> 00:21:51.319 So that that's an interested interview there that we'll have 397 00:21:51.400 --> 00:21:55.359 in soccer Bar here at eleven o'clock Pacific. Uh, and 398 00:21:55.440 --> 00:22:00.039 Inpulsol Sports we will have not just yet, but we 399 00:22:00.039 --> 00:22:05.000 will end up having by Saturday something to hear from 400 00:22:05.160 --> 00:22:08.839 the Sounders after this frustrating loss. You can though, catch 401 00:22:08.920 --> 00:22:14.559
