It was a matchup on 59 00:03:45.159 --> 00:03:47.719 the girls side, Team fifteen and Team eighteen and TRIPAA 60 00:03:47.840 --> 00:03:49.680 that we had on the network over on the Mixler 61 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:53.360 app on our Mixler channel, Johnson Gainesville and a Cony 62 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:55.080 County at Coney County. With a four hiel win, you 63 00:03:55.120 --> 00:03:57.199 can go back and listen to that match, and any 64 00:03:57.240 --> 00:03:59.039 of the matches that we've done this season, you can 65 00:03:59.080 --> 00:04:02.280 go back and listen to it the archive.

And so the last 68 00:04:08.919 --> 00:04:12.039 time I was at Warriors Stadium for a championship game 69 00:04:12.520 --> 00:04:15.879 in high school football for a Coney County and they 70 00:04:15.960 --> 00:04:19.680 ended up getting to win. And the running back at 71 00:04:19.680 --> 00:04:23.399 the time for a Cony County that was raising all 72 00:04:23.519 --> 00:04:27.600 kinds of you know what was Tyson Browning. Larry Munson 73 00:04:27.680 --> 00:04:29.600 Jeff Nnoe called that match and I guess this is 74 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:32.199 opening Kickoff brought to his buyer friends at Kickoff Coffee 75 00:04:32.399 --> 00:04:38.879 and Kickoff Cooffeeco dot com.

Monson a van note called 78 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:48.639 the game first on Georgia Public Broadcasting back in nineteen 79 00:04:48.720 --> 00:04:52.519 ninety nine, and then Larry Munson got to talk about 80 00:04:52.560 --> 00:04:55.959 that little Browning kid for an extra couple of years 81 00:04:55.959 --> 00:04:58.720 as he would go up up out Georgia fifty three 82 00:04:58.759 --> 00:05:00.959 into Athens and he would go play. But the last 83 00:05:01.000 --> 00:05:02.920 time I think I was in that building was for 84 00:05:02.959 --> 00:05:06.720 that championship game, and it was fun to be back 85 00:05:06.720 --> 00:05:09.439 there last night once again, thanks to everybody out of 86 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:12.519 Coney County and with Johnson Gainesville for all the info 87 00:05:12.560 --> 00:05:15.040 in the intel to have us do the job that 88 00:05:15.079 --> 00:05:17.759 we could with the broadcast.

But it was fun to 92 00:05:24.360 --> 00:05:27.680 be up there last night. Games started late, so naturally 93 00:05:27.879 --> 00:05:31.480 in the coming down of the emotions, I watched a 94 00:05:31.480 --> 00:05:33.360 little bit of what happened late last night at BC 95 00:05:33.519 --> 00:05:36.399 placed in front of a crowd of north of fifty thousand, 96 00:05:37.279 --> 00:05:39.959 and I don't think that it went the way that 97 00:05:40.000 --> 00:05:42.319 TAMESSI and friends thought it was going to go at all. 98 00:05:43.680 --> 00:05:45.600 It was a rough night. It was a chippy night. 99 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:47.240 It was a physical night. We'll go over the stats 100 00:05:47.279 --> 00:05:49.639 coming up in just a bit.

So once again, let's roll through 105 00:06:05.600 --> 00:06:08.800 your highlights early on. It was a goal for Vancouver 106 00:06:08.920 --> 00:06:11.839 and Mama, here goes that man again Brian White, courtesy 107 00:06:11.839 --> 00:06:15.839 of our friends at Conkor Calf and FS one kens 108 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:17.720 the middle, it comes touched to the edge of the area. 109 00:06:17.879 --> 00:06:27.480 Been good womans vancouverer.

Second half got even more shippy amplified if 117 00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:51.199 that's a hyphenated word that we just created. I mean, 118 00:06:51.399 --> 00:06:53.639 you had folks that were getting cards, and you had 119 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:55.680 folks that you thought might have been sent off or 120 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:58.959 should have been sent off. But it was a moment 121 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:01.959 for Sebastian Burholter, who ended up as man of the 122 00:07:01.959 --> 00:07:05.079 match according to Conky Calf their own selves.

Courtesy of our friends of 128 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:22.639 concacaff and FS one. 129 00:07:24.040 --> 00:07:26.839 One touch of the outside. It's Nelson into the metal. 130 00:07:26.920 --> 00:07:30.720 It's behind White and arriving at roughing it under the net. Taycar, 131 00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:38.000 It's Purr Walter. It's two the Caps in command. 132 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.319 I'm into Miami in big, big trouble. 133 00:07:42.720 --> 00:07:43.399 Pull one back. 134 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.279 He's a good run as well on that right hand side. 135 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.240 Initially it was sabby. 136 00:07:50.000 --> 00:07:52.360 Then you can see that Jada Nelson gets into visors 137 00:07:52.439 --> 00:07:53.560 and ball to this mate. 138 00:07:53.600 --> 00:07:55.759 The runs from midfield, and you can see. 139 00:07:55.519 --> 00:07:58.160 Bron White nearly on his knees celebrating that he was 140 00:07:58.199 --> 00:08:00.600 at the Nippos. Couldn't get it a. 141 00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:05.000 Fall post not be your final two nail for the 142 00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:08.800 late game, And like I said, it got really chippy 143 00:08:08.959 --> 00:08:11.439 and you were wondering what was going to be let 144 00:08:11.519 --> 00:08:14.560 go when it came to whistles and such, and you 145 00:08:15.000 --> 00:08:17.639 were wondering what was going to We'll see, So wouldn't 146 00:08:17.639 --> 00:08:20.079 you know? Inner Miami's the second most searched team on 147 00:08:20.120 --> 00:08:22.839 SOFA score. Who knew? All right? So let's take a 148 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:30.079 peek of the numbers, and for statistical comparison and analysis, 149 00:08:30.120 --> 00:08:32.440 we'll go through all of the all the stats here 150 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.919 once again, Messi and Friends had sixty nine percent of possession. 151 00:08:36.080 --> 00:08:39.559 Nice didn't matter. You know, when you gotta lead, you're 152 00:08:39.559 --> 00:08:41.519 gonna sit and you're gonna just kind of launch it, 153 00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:44.759 and it's right, it's on you. Two big chances, No 154 00:08:44.879 --> 00:08:48.399 big chances registered for Messi and Friends late last night. 155 00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:53.039 Total shots nine apiece taka Oka with two saves on 156 00:08:53.159 --> 00:08:57.360 the night, no big chances two saves for taca Oka. 157 00:08:57.399 --> 00:09:01.440 Oscar Story had three nine corners for Messi and Friends 158 00:09:01.519 --> 00:09:05.600 last night, compared to three for Vancouver. Eighteen fouls called, 159 00:09:05.679 --> 00:09:11.080 eleven of them on Vancouver, seven fouls considering the chippy 160 00:09:11.120 --> 00:09:13.799 nature of the match. Seven fouls called on inner Miami 161 00:09:14.480 --> 00:09:17.840 passes more than double to one another, but no real surprise, 162 00:09:18.519 --> 00:09:23.279 seven fouls, twenty tackles, sixteen tackles for Vancouver, two yellow 163 00:09:23.320 --> 00:09:26.480 cards for two yellow cards from Messi and Friends in 164 00:09:26.559 --> 00:09:29.080 three for Vancouver, and I think one of them was 165 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:34.320 for a dust up. So eleven fouls, three yellows, seven cards, 166 00:09:34.519 --> 00:09:37.480 two yellows. Total shots once again nine to nine shots 167 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.639 on target five to two for Vancouver and four off target, 168 00:09:41.639 --> 00:09:44.879 two off target four of the home side.

Six of the ten went to Vancouver, 171 00:09:54.639 --> 00:09:56.639 which meant that it was obviously five and three on 172 00:09:56.679 --> 00:09:59.960 the flip. Big Chances scored once again to Neil touch 173 00:10:00.200 --> 00:10:03.159 inside the eighteen twenty four to thirteen in favor of Miami, 174 00:10:03.519 --> 00:10:07.639 fouled in the final third four times. Messi and friends, 175 00:10:07.679 --> 00:10:09.639 nothing of it. One off side on the night, one 176 00:10:09.679 --> 00:10:11.279 off side on the night. That's just wild. 177 00:10:11.840 --> 00:10:11.960 Uh. 178 00:10:12.360 --> 00:10:15.240 You look at all of those numbers, then your lineups 179 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:17.120 and keep an eye on this once again.

That was 189 00:10:59.200 --> 00:11:02.879 the highest ranking of any player they are in in 190 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.879 Vancouver for the visitors, Falcone and Allen at seven threes, 191 00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:11.360 Messias seven to three, Segovias seven to one, Suarez Busquets 192 00:11:11.399 --> 00:11:14.279 seven to zero. Everybody else below a seven on the 193 00:11:14.399 --> 00:11:21.039 night substitutions for Jabyirmasharana only two. Janick Bright came in 194 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:23.679 to give Redondo a bit of a break for twenty minutes, 195 00:11:23.720 --> 00:11:26.799 and Benja Benamin Kramowski came in for sixteen to take 196 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.320 over for Segovias, so to nil. Right now, that's how 197 00:11:30.360 --> 00:11:33.080 it is. Brian White in the twenty fourth, Burhalter in 198 00:11:33.120 --> 00:11:36.039 the eighty fifth, and it's going to be a tall 199 00:11:36.159 --> 00:11:38.080 order heading back to the Erector set. But we know 200 00:11:38.279 --> 00:11:41.879 about heading back to that particular building and what it 201 00:11:42.000 --> 00:11:45.039 means and make you've got to make sure that the 202 00:11:45.039 --> 00:11:48.320 building doesn't tilt. And I think that Vancouver, if there's 203 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.159 anybody that's the run that Vancouver has been on in 204 00:11:52.240 --> 00:11:56.679 both hemispheric competition and in Major League Soccer this year, 205 00:11:57.399 --> 00:12:00.600 they don't. They're not going to get intimidated by the 206 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.440 actions of more than twenty thousand at the Erector set 207 00:12:03.480 --> 00:12:06.279 next time out. So two nail lead both goals at 208 00:12:06.279 --> 00:12:08.639 home and they're gonna take They got to shut out 209 00:12:08.639 --> 00:12:10.679 at home, and they get to go back to Fort 210 00:12:10.759 --> 00:12:13.399 Lauderdale and register and see if they can get into 211 00:12:13.440 --> 00:12:16.120 the finals against the winner of the Lega MX semi 212 00:12:16.279 --> 00:12:18.320 and the winner of the Major League Soccer Semi.

Sorry 231 00:13:15.440 --> 00:13:18.759 about that. Now they're north to nineteen thousand dollars, so 232 00:13:19.000 --> 00:13:21.519 seven thousand left and I think the percentage is they're 233 00:13:21.600 --> 00:13:25.679 seventy two percent in on their number, and so you're 234 00:13:25.679 --> 00:13:29.600 looking at nineteen thousand of twenty six five, twenty two 235 00:13:29.639 --> 00:13:31.879 days to go for the Marshall Island Soccer Federation to 236 00:13:31.960 --> 00:13:34.039 get the funds needed so they can have the Outrigger 237 00:13:34.120 --> 00:13:38.399 Challenge Cup at John Brown University in Northwest Arkansas in 238 00:13:38.480 --> 00:13:40.480 mid August.

Once again, this is all or nothing. 242 00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:51.879 So if they don't make the twenty six five seventy three, 243 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:54.720 which is a rounded number, I think it's thirty thousand pounds, 244 00:13:55.480 --> 00:13:58.080 if they don't get it, then it's not going to happen. 245 00:13:58.120 --> 00:14:00.399 So all the money gets refunded if the kickstarted doesn't go, 246 00:14:00.440 --> 00:14:02.120 but we don't want that to happen.

And so that's 329 00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:22.279 the the quick rundown of everything that you can do. 330 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:25.519 Ricky Smith, no doubt, shout out to the white Caps indeed, 331 00:18:26.720 --> 00:18:31.599 and Morning Bart and so Alex Yes, Mary had a 332 00:18:31.599 --> 00:18:34.559 boy soccer team. They were a four seed, I believe, 333 00:18:34.640 --> 00:18:38.960 and they in upper upper upper upper upper no. I 334 00:18:39.000 --> 00:18:42.799 thought they were upper no. So the upper right knocking 335 00:18:42.839 --> 00:18:46.559 off Lounds are the number ten team in the number 336 00:18:46.559 --> 00:18:48.880 ten team and the scoreboard rankings, and they are taking 337 00:18:48.960 --> 00:18:51.319 on a four seed. That's where it is. Region five. 338 00:18:51.400 --> 00:18:54.079 Team two mary Hatta beat Lounds seven to one in 339 00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:57.440 day one of the six to eight playoffs. Upper right 340 00:18:57.440 --> 00:19:01.519 hand corner. They get to host Discovery five days from now. 341 00:19:01.880 --> 00:19:06.200 So on Wednesday, Marietta hosts Discovery because Discovery knocked off 342 00:19:06.240 --> 00:19:10.480 Carrollton the five, the fifth ranked team in the rankings. 343 00:19:10.880 --> 00:19:12.839 Because you know, if you were a team that was 344 00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:16.359 ranked in rankings that would make sense. So number five Carlton, 345 00:19:16.400 --> 00:19:20.200 Discovery knocks them out. Discovery now goes to Marietta and 346 00:19:20.279 --> 00:19:25.039 on Wednesday, unless schedules permit and you can rearrange your scheduling, 347 00:19:25.720 --> 00:19:28.480 Marietta is gonna host Discovery. So number ten has a 348 00:19:28.559 --> 00:19:30.480 chance to make it to the quarterfinals. Upper part of 349 00:19:30.480 --> 00:19:34.519 the bracket was Lambert and North Gwinette. Lambert I believe 350 00:19:34.559 --> 00:19:36.720 got the win there last night. So Lambert at number 351 00:19:36.720 --> 00:19:40.079 four takes on Campbell. They are hosting Campbell, and so 352 00:19:40.200 --> 00:19:43.480 Marietta is hosting Discovery.

He's sporting a jersey on the front. 473 00:26:01.960 --> 00:26:05.680 You're the man. You are the man. See and once 474 00:26:05.720 --> 00:26:08.240 again I told everybody about that. I said that, you know, 475 00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:10.920 beyond goals entering on one sleeve, soccer for good on 476 00:26:10.960 --> 00:26:13.559 the other, kaiser on the front, SDH on the crest 477 00:26:13.839 --> 00:26:17.359 right see Lee right there, man. 478 00:26:17.279 --> 00:26:21.279 It's beautiful, it is. I just did a social post. Well, 479 00:26:21.559 --> 00:26:25.799 I created a video for social breaking down, a breaking 480 00:26:25.799 --> 00:26:28.480 down a goal that will be posted on social with 481 00:26:28.599 --> 00:26:29.279 this jersey on. 482 00:26:29.640 --> 00:26:32.720 You are the man and a half. You are absolutely awesome. 483 00:26:33.720 --> 00:26:37.440 So let's see your stadium for your team has a sponsor. 484 00:26:38.079 --> 00:26:40.519 It is now apparently going to be hosting the Major 485 00:26:40.599 --> 00:26:43.799 League Rugby Championship game, is like one of the first 486 00:26:43.799 --> 00:26:46.519 big things in the venue. So you got things moving 487 00:26:46.559 --> 00:26:49.480 up there at Rhode Island FC and Open Cup man, Yeah. 488 00:26:49.319 --> 00:26:52.279 Moving and grooving. We I'm headed up there next weekend 489 00:26:52.920 --> 00:26:56.640 for the big opener against San Antonio next Saturday, and 490 00:26:56.680 --> 00:26:59.799 then yeah, midweek the next week we play the Revs, 491 00:27:00.000 --> 00:27:01.960 which is amazing. What an opportunity. 492 00:27:02.519 --> 00:27:06.759 So all right, how how chaotic is this for you? 493 00:27:06.839 --> 00:27:09.039 Because of your history with both of these teams in 494 00:27:09.039 --> 00:27:11.240 the past tense and the present tense clashing like this? 495 00:27:14.759 --> 00:27:19.039 Yeah not not too much, honestly. I mean, I really 496 00:27:19.119 --> 00:27:21.880 enjoyed my time with the Revs, but I don't have 497 00:27:21.920 --> 00:27:27.680 a great connection with the club anymore. So I'm a 498 00:27:27.759 --> 00:27:32.119 much closer with Columbus and Atlanta obviously, but you know 499 00:27:32.200 --> 00:27:35.240 I don't. I still follow them obviously like every other 500 00:27:35.240 --> 00:27:38.720 club in the league. But there's uh, there's no hiding 501 00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:40.200 who I'll be rooting for when we play. 502 00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:44.319 Absolutely true. How much R I f C gear do 503 00:27:44.400 --> 00:27:45.359 you actually have? 504 00:27:46.359 --> 00:27:46.759 You know what? 505 00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:47.319 Not a ton? 506 00:27:49.039 --> 00:27:52.000 Because well I don't know why that is, John, but 507 00:27:52.720 --> 00:27:55.359 it will change when I go up there next week 508 00:27:55.440 --> 00:27:57.400 and I ravage whatever they have. 509 00:28:01.559 --> 00:28:05.039 It's like mine mine, mine mind was like mister Parker. 510 00:28:04.839 --> 00:28:07.880 Yes, yes, put it on the company card. 511 00:28:08.599 --> 00:28:13.759 On the Underhills tab. Yes, absolutely, that's where the AMEX card. 512 00:28:13.799 --> 00:28:15.640 You want, the Underhill's AMEX card. I can give that 513 00:28:15.680 --> 00:28:19.559 to you. When you have all of these cool things 514 00:28:19.599 --> 00:28:22.240 going on. I know that your time has been divided 515 00:28:22.279 --> 00:28:24.359 with what's been going on up there with the good, 516 00:28:24.759 --> 00:28:27.920 with beyond goals entering and the good, and then with 517 00:28:27.960 --> 00:28:32.160 what's currently going on with Atlanta United. And I would 518 00:28:32.200 --> 00:28:36.319 I would ask it this way, if when was the 519 00:28:36.359 --> 00:28:40.400 last time that you were in a a situation where 520 00:28:40.599 --> 00:28:43.240 a team stumbled out of the gate with a whole 521 00:28:43.240 --> 00:28:46.920 lot of promise and was able to turn it around. 522 00:28:47.000 --> 00:28:48.720 Were you ever in a situation like that in your 523 00:28:48.720 --> 00:28:49.319 playing career? 524 00:28:56.440 --> 00:29:02.119 I honestly, I can't remember a time where towards the bottom, 525 00:29:03.200 --> 00:29:05.880 you know, a quarter of the way into the season. 526 00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:11.119 But I mean last year, and this is obviously a 527 00:29:11.119 --> 00:29:13.599 different level, but Rhode Island FC we were second to 528 00:29:13.640 --> 00:29:17.839 bottom midway through the year and we went on a 529 00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:21.279 fantastic run and turned things around. So it's very doable, 530 00:29:21.400 --> 00:29:25.240 and I'm still bullish on the rest of the season. 531 00:29:25.480 --> 00:29:29.000 I still think the talent's there. I'd be shocked if 532 00:29:29.000 --> 00:29:32.720 they don't add another piece in the summertime. It's just 533 00:29:32.799 --> 00:29:36.960 a question of getting things together, getting the confidence as 534 00:29:37.000 --> 00:29:41.200 a group up, figuring out who plays where and what 535 00:29:41.400 --> 00:29:47.079 formation and all that. So I still think that this 536 00:29:47.160 --> 00:29:51.000 group is more than capable of winning games. It's just 537 00:29:51.079 --> 00:29:55.480 not doing it right now, which obviously is not great. 538 00:29:55.599 --> 00:30:00.200 But I mean, and when you see a group up 539 00:30:00.200 --> 00:30:02.720 on a rake, you know, or you know, tie their 540 00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:06.079 shoelaces together and they don't, and it doesn't go the 541 00:30:06.079 --> 00:30:09.640 way that you anticipate. I know, Obviously for you as 542 00:30:09.680 --> 00:30:12.880 a professional athlete, it's frustrating, but for as someone who 543 00:30:13.000 --> 00:30:17.799 has his heart on his sleeve for this franchise, considering 544 00:30:17.839 --> 00:30:21.079 everything that you've been invested, it's that it almost it 545 00:30:21.160 --> 00:30:23.599 doubles and triples when it comes to how how much 546 00:30:23.640 --> 00:30:25.359 you want it to turn over quickly, how much you 547 00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:27.680 want it to succeed, because you know what's there. You 548 00:30:27.799 --> 00:30:30.359 know some of those folks, you've seen them work, and 549 00:30:30.400 --> 00:30:32.480 it's just it's like you're waiting for that one moment 550 00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:35.319 I think, to trigger that run that you're talking about, 551 00:30:35.400 --> 00:30:37.079 like you had with ri Ifc last. 552 00:30:36.920 --> 00:30:41.920 Year, for sure, for sure. And honestly, it's I think 553 00:30:41.960 --> 00:30:47.640 it's more of a group mentality and confidence thing than 554 00:30:47.680 --> 00:30:52.000 anything else, because, like I said, the talent is there, 555 00:30:52.039 --> 00:30:56.119 and obviously it comes down to the manager to motivate 556 00:30:56.920 --> 00:31:00.400 and get everybody on the same page and you know, 557 00:31:01.119 --> 00:31:04.200 maybe change the style a little bit to try and 558 00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:08.039 get a few points. Right so that on a podcast 559 00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:10.119 the other day. Right now, you're in a situation where 560 00:31:10.279 --> 00:31:14.480 you do anything possible or needed to get three points, 561 00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:16.839 and then once you have a couple of games where 562 00:31:16.839 --> 00:31:19.200 you get three points, then then the confidence is back 563 00:31:19.240 --> 00:31:21.279 and then you can, you know, go out there, do 564 00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:25.680 your thing and play the exciting, beautiful brand of soccer. 565 00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:29.640 But right now, I think, you know, this weekend, you'd 566 00:31:29.759 --> 00:31:33.200 rather win one zero on an own goal than play 567 00:31:33.240 --> 00:31:35.440 beautiful and lose for three. 568 00:31:35.960 --> 00:31:39.720 Yeah, and especially in a rivalry game against the purple 569 00:31:39.759 --> 00:31:42.920 team in Middle Florida where you have all of these 570 00:31:42.960 --> 00:31:47.319 things combining, where it's the slow start. It wasn't anticipated 571 00:31:47.319 --> 00:31:49.119 that it was going to be this way. You're trying 572 00:31:49.119 --> 00:31:50.960 to do whatever it takes for a win, just to 573 00:31:51.000 --> 00:31:53.319 kind of reverse your fortunes a little bit because of 574 00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:55.680 all of the posts that you've hit in the crossbars 575 00:31:55.680 --> 00:31:58.599 and the calls and just not getting the results. And 576 00:31:59.119 --> 00:32:02.680 you're now ample applying that with a matchup against the 577 00:32:02.759 --> 00:32:06.160 team that you know that you drive each other crazy 578 00:32:06.200 --> 00:32:08.480 when it comes to Major League soccer, so that that 579 00:32:08.559 --> 00:32:12.799 amplification is it's almost you know, X number of times 580 00:32:12.799 --> 00:32:15.319 more than it would have been under a normal circumstance. 581 00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:16.359 In air quotes. 582 00:32:16.279 --> 00:32:19.119 Totally, And you're right to have been a little unlucky. 583 00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:22.920 You know, I think that the New England game they 584 00:32:22.920 --> 00:32:27.279 should have won. You know, of course you get unlucky 585 00:32:27.440 --> 00:32:30.640 here and there, and so it happens, and of course 586 00:32:30.680 --> 00:32:32.839 it's easy on the sidelines to say, well you should 587 00:32:32.839 --> 00:32:36.200 have scored four, you know, but you know, I've never 588 00:32:36.240 --> 00:32:39.200 seen a call like that, and I still don't agree 589 00:32:39.240 --> 00:32:41.599 with it. I still think that's a good goal for Miguel. 590 00:32:42.680 --> 00:32:45.240 I thought the penalty was really soft. It's like, you know, 591 00:32:46.440 --> 00:32:50.119 it's just sometimes things are going against you and you 592 00:32:50.119 --> 00:32:52.160 need to, you know, make your own luck. And so 593 00:32:52.240 --> 00:32:55.119 hopefully they're able to do that, because again I think 594 00:32:55.160 --> 00:32:58.720 it's there. I think they're close, but I know nobody 595 00:32:58.759 --> 00:33:00.680 wants to hear that. They just want to see results. 596 00:33:00.799 --> 00:33:03.279 Yeah, But I mean at the same time, I think 597 00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:07.799 that if but being reminded of what you're capable of, 598 00:33:08.559 --> 00:33:11.200 I think that's just as important. And I think that, 599 00:33:11.359 --> 00:33:15.079 you know, when you and Greg have those opportunities with 600 00:33:15.519 --> 00:33:18.240 the nine gazillion mentees that you have and that you 601 00:33:18.319 --> 00:33:22.079 have the influence of, I think just being reminded. And 602 00:33:22.559 --> 00:33:25.559 we see this from Ronnie a lot in postmatch pressers 603 00:33:26.119 --> 00:33:30.960 and during the week, he's constantly speaking the positive. It's 604 00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:33.640 he's there. There isn't any there isn't any issue going 605 00:33:33.680 --> 00:33:36.160 on about well, you know, no, they just need to 606 00:33:36.200 --> 00:33:38.720 get their head screwed on straight or whatever. There's always 607 00:33:38.720 --> 00:33:41.599 that positive reinforcement that's there. I know that you and 608 00:33:41.720 --> 00:33:43.920 Greig do that as well when it comes to your mentoring. 609 00:33:44.079 --> 00:33:47.519 But to have a manager that is just as impactful 610 00:33:47.839 --> 00:33:50.839 in a professional situation with all those positives, I think 611 00:33:50.880 --> 00:33:53.160 that's just as key. And saying it publicly, I think 612 00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:54.920 is just as important. 613 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:57.599 Totally, totally, because the easiest thing is to say, oh, 614 00:33:57.599 --> 00:33:59.359 we need to work harder, we need to focus more. 615 00:34:00.599 --> 00:34:03.160 It's not a lack of effort when you watch the game. 616 00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:05.400 I watched the games and I don't see a lack 617 00:34:05.400 --> 00:34:05.880 of effort. 618 00:34:05.920 --> 00:34:06.480 It's not that. 619 00:34:07.720 --> 00:34:10.719 And so it's just little little things here and there 620 00:34:10.760 --> 00:34:14.360 that need to come together, and I think they will. 621 00:34:14.719 --> 00:34:20.679 But yeah, and I agree with the manager. I see 622 00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:24.760 what he's saying, and it's it's not obviously what all 623 00:34:24.760 --> 00:34:26.960 the fans want to hear. They want to hear exactly 624 00:34:27.039 --> 00:34:29.599 why is it that we're losing or we're not playing 625 00:34:29.639 --> 00:34:33.239 well and fix it. But as we know, it's not 626 00:34:33.360 --> 00:34:36.320 that easy all the time to pinpoint things and get 627 00:34:36.360 --> 00:34:39.480 everybody on the same page and get the confidence of 628 00:34:39.480 --> 00:34:42.320 the group and confidence of the individuals, and you know, 629 00:34:42.440 --> 00:34:47.320 limit the little small mistakes individually. Right, It's it's a 630 00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:48.559 big picture thing for sure. 631 00:34:49.480 --> 00:34:52.639 How much positive reinforcement do you and Greg do with 632 00:34:52.760 --> 00:34:53.519 your mentees? 633 00:34:54.880 --> 00:34:57.679 A lot? And I think it's important because we don't 634 00:34:57.719 --> 00:35:03.079 know how much they're getting of that outside of our conversations, 635 00:35:03.159 --> 00:35:08.119 right from mom and dad, from coach, from whoever, right 636 00:35:08.199 --> 00:35:11.519 teacher in school. And I think everybody can always use 637 00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:16.119 some positive reinforcements some Hey, let's what have you done well? 638 00:35:16.199 --> 00:35:18.760 That's one one of the things I love to ask 639 00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:22.199 kids is, Hey, give me give me a win that 640 00:35:22.239 --> 00:35:24.159 you've had in the past couple of weeks. And I 641 00:35:24.159 --> 00:35:26.719 don't necessarily mean the biggest win on the field, right, 642 00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:29.519 something you overcame. Right, Was it a test you studied 643 00:35:29.519 --> 00:35:32.599 hard for and it went well, or I don't know, 644 00:35:32.960 --> 00:35:35.760 you mastered a juggling trick or whatever it is. Right, 645 00:35:36.039 --> 00:35:38.880 give me a win. I focus on some positives and say, hey, 646 00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:43.480 good job, man, Like, congrats, that's great, you know, keep winning, uh, 647 00:35:43.519 --> 00:35:45.400 And I think we can all use more of that. 648 00:35:46.079 --> 00:35:50.079 When was what was the last win that you had, the. 649 00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.880 Last win that I had. That's a great question, John. 650 00:35:53.599 --> 00:35:55.400 If you look at yourself in the mirror and go 651 00:35:55.800 --> 00:35:58.679 so so Michael, what was the last win that you had? 652 00:35:58.719 --> 00:36:00.119 What would what would you answer to your So. 653 00:36:01.199 --> 00:36:07.719 The last win that I had was I'll say yesterday. 654 00:36:07.719 --> 00:36:12.119 I had a very very productive day just in general, 655 00:36:12.320 --> 00:36:16.599 very focused as far as getting ish done that I 656 00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:19.599 needed to get done, that maybe I've put on the 657 00:36:19.639 --> 00:36:22.440 back burner or just you know, sometimes things come up 658 00:36:22.480 --> 00:36:24.079 and I go, oh, I could do this or that, 659 00:36:24.199 --> 00:36:27.119 and very productive day, and I take that as a win. 660 00:36:27.800 --> 00:36:29.719 Well, I mean, but you know, there's a reason we 661 00:36:29.800 --> 00:36:34.239 call it ish because it's like we don't want to 662 00:36:34.239 --> 00:36:35.760 touch it, we don't want to have anything to do 663 00:36:35.800 --> 00:36:39.079 with it. But I think that to your point, and 664 00:36:39.760 --> 00:36:41.639 I go back to one of the best movies of 665 00:36:41.679 --> 00:36:45.760 all time, The Replacements, where Jimmy McGuinty, who is anything 666 00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:49.440 but a traditional coach, Pat Gene Hackman, in one of 667 00:36:49.480 --> 00:36:54.280 his roles as the Krusty NFL, is kind of a coach. 668 00:36:54.760 --> 00:36:57.679 He has a meeting, he has a team meeting with 669 00:36:58.000 --> 00:36:59.920 all of his all of the players, and these are 670 00:36:59.920 --> 00:37:02.519 the guys that are assembled together. You know, they're brought 671 00:37:02.559 --> 00:37:05.840 together and Keanu Reeves is their quarterback and they have 672 00:37:06.039 --> 00:37:10.079 that one game where things are going wrong, and so 673 00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:12.000 it's like, all right, I want to take this energy, 674 00:37:12.039 --> 00:37:16.119 and I want to talk about quicksand, and everybody's like quicksand, 675 00:37:16.159 --> 00:37:19.400 And it's the idea of one thing going wrong, then 676 00:37:19.800 --> 00:37:22.039 then another and another, and you just get stuck in 677 00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:24.559 quicksand and there's no way to try to get out 678 00:37:24.599 --> 00:37:28.239 of it. When you have when you have these discussions, 679 00:37:28.239 --> 00:37:30.239 whether it was as a professional athlete or as a 680 00:37:30.679 --> 00:37:33.880 mentor these days, do you have you been in that 681 00:37:33.960 --> 00:37:36.400 situation where you're trying to get out of the quicksand 682 00:37:36.599 --> 00:37:39.079 and trying to talk to folks about getting out of it, 683 00:37:39.119 --> 00:37:41.280 whether you're the one who's pulling the rope or whether 684 00:37:41.320 --> 00:37:43.039 you're the one that might be a part of being 685 00:37:43.039 --> 00:37:44.599 in the quicksand? Have you ever had any of those 686 00:37:44.639 --> 00:37:45.239 kind of moments. 687 00:37:45.440 --> 00:37:45.639 Oh? 688 00:37:45.719 --> 00:37:48.440 Yeah, absolutely for sure. I mean I think back to 689 00:37:49.840 --> 00:37:52.440 I came. I think it must have been twenty seventeen. 690 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:56.199 We went like, I don't know, eight games without a 691 00:37:56.239 --> 00:37:59.280 win something. It was right in the middle of the season, 692 00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:04.039 and it was not going well. We weren't losing all 693 00:38:04.079 --> 00:38:08.519 those games, but we weren't winning. And that's tough on 694 00:38:08.559 --> 00:38:11.079 a locker room. So I understand, you know, how the 695 00:38:11.119 --> 00:38:14.480 group's feeling over there in Atlanta, it's it's difficult, right, 696 00:38:14.519 --> 00:38:18.000 And you see it at the end of the game 697 00:38:18.079 --> 00:38:21.840 where there's no accountability from players to stay and talk 698 00:38:21.880 --> 00:38:25.039 to media, right. I think I saw something where it 699 00:38:25.079 --> 00:38:30.159 was the two young guys Noah and Jay, Yeah and 700 00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:33.119 Jay that talked to the media. And that's just a 701 00:38:33.159 --> 00:38:36.119 small example. But yeah, for sure with within our menties, 702 00:38:36.159 --> 00:38:39.199 we talk about it too, and that's why we try 703 00:38:39.239 --> 00:38:41.360 and say, hey, it's really important to try and snap 704 00:38:41.400 --> 00:38:44.679 back really quickly. And the big reason is we don't 705 00:38:44.719 --> 00:38:47.320 want to snowball. And we know that once a snowball 706 00:38:47.360 --> 00:38:50.559 starts going, it becomes tougher and tougher to stop it 707 00:38:50.760 --> 00:38:54.039 and reverse it. And so the easiest time and the 708 00:38:54.119 --> 00:38:57.280 quickest time to do it is right away. And so 709 00:38:57.360 --> 00:38:59.440 can you can you bounce back quickly? And so that's 710 00:38:59.440 --> 00:39:01.679 what we're trying give the kids the tools to do, 711 00:39:02.039 --> 00:39:07.440 is to refocus and adjust quickly before that snowball gets 712 00:39:07.480 --> 00:39:07.920 too big. 713 00:39:08.679 --> 00:39:14.360 Are adults better at addressing the snowball or are youth 714 00:39:14.559 --> 00:39:19.360 better at addressing the snowball and turning things around? These days? 715 00:39:19.760 --> 00:39:23.800 Uh, that's a good one. 716 00:39:23.840 --> 00:39:26.360 I think that well, And I mean it might just 717 00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:29.119 be case by case and having to break it down individually. 718 00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:32.519 But I mean because because of the reason I ask 719 00:39:32.679 --> 00:39:36.440 is because you know, when when you were young, I'm 720 00:39:36.519 --> 00:39:40.000 sure that you know, addressing the snowball was different than 721 00:39:40.000 --> 00:39:43.239 when you were a professional athlete. And when I was 722 00:39:43.480 --> 00:39:46.079 a kid back in the seventeen eighties when James Oglethorpe 723 00:39:46.079 --> 00:39:49.039 colonized this state that we're based in, you know, I'm 724 00:39:49.039 --> 00:39:51.119 sure it was like, you know, rub some dirt on it, 725 00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:53.039 that kind of thing, just you know, dust yourself off 726 00:39:53.039 --> 00:39:54.519 and get your you know, get your you know what 727 00:39:54.639 --> 00:39:56.320 back out there. So I don't know if it's a 728 00:39:56.360 --> 00:40:01.599 generational thing where younger players are easier at addressing it 729 00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:03.880 versus adults. And that's why I wanted to know when 730 00:40:03.880 --> 00:40:06.079 it came to your ideas, who was easier. 731 00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:06.400 Yeah. 732 00:40:06.440 --> 00:40:09.760 I think that the smaller the snowball, the kids are 733 00:40:10.079 --> 00:40:12.960 bouncing back quickly, and I think that we as adults 734 00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:15.480 tend to just brush it off, like you said, and 735 00:40:15.559 --> 00:40:18.239 like we know, Okay, if the snowball gets really big, 736 00:40:18.440 --> 00:40:21.400 we can address it and figure it out. But until 737 00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:26.239 then I'll just ignore it, you know, or forget about 738 00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:29.360 it or whatever. But I think the younger generation ear 739 00:40:29.480 --> 00:40:31.880 last we're trying to help them, is hey, no, just 740 00:40:32.760 --> 00:40:34.760 adjust it now, fix it now, get over it now 741 00:40:35.039 --> 00:40:38.400 that way because they're not usually equipped to get over 742 00:40:38.440 --> 00:40:41.800 the bigger snowballs, and those can be much tougher for 743 00:40:42.039 --> 00:40:43.760 younger players and people. 744 00:40:44.039 --> 00:40:48.719 Yeah, you mentioned Noah and Jay and specifically they have 745 00:40:48.800 --> 00:40:51.920 come up through the system. Know they were academy. Noah 746 00:40:52.079 --> 00:40:55.079 was a fifteen year old going up against dudes that 747 00:40:55.079 --> 00:40:58.119 were twice his age in USL Championship and he wasn't flinching. 748 00:40:58.119 --> 00:41:00.760 And Jay hasn't done the any that either when it 749 00:41:00.800 --> 00:41:02.639 comes to going up against folks that might be ten 750 00:41:02.679 --> 00:41:06.719 twelve years older than he is. And you can sense 751 00:41:06.880 --> 00:41:10.159 in them, and not just after the loss last week, 752 00:41:10.559 --> 00:41:13.559 but you can sense in them the pride that's attached 753 00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:16.679 with working through the system, coming through the academy, and 754 00:41:16.719 --> 00:41:18.400 you know, you know, you sit there and you grab 755 00:41:18.440 --> 00:41:19.920 the crest and you sit there and you grab it 756 00:41:19.960 --> 00:41:22.320 and you kiss it, and they know what that means 757 00:41:22.880 --> 00:41:28.079 when it comes to their day to day. When you 758 00:41:28.159 --> 00:41:32.960 see your mentees have that kind of pride as well, 759 00:41:33.000 --> 00:41:35.360 what's it like for you to sit there and say, oh, okay, 760 00:41:35.400 --> 00:41:38.440 they get it, they understand what it means to have 761 00:41:38.519 --> 00:41:40.760 that logo on the shirt and what they've got to 762 00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:42.440 do one hundred and twenty percent of the time. 763 00:41:43.880 --> 00:41:45.800 Yeah, that's that's a great feeling. I think that it's 764 00:41:45.920 --> 00:41:49.320 it's fantastic when a player has that pride within their 765 00:41:49.360 --> 00:41:52.079 team because you know that they're willing to go the 766 00:41:52.119 --> 00:41:55.719 extra mile to really stand up for their teammates, to 767 00:41:56.840 --> 00:42:01.039 really commit everything, which is what you hope every athlete 768 00:42:01.719 --> 00:42:04.960 finds the place to do. But I also think that 769 00:42:05.079 --> 00:42:11.360 it speaks to those two guys' mentality of maturation, and 770 00:42:11.679 --> 00:42:14.159 that's the reason why they have and one of the 771 00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:18.320 reasons a big reason why they have progressed all the 772 00:42:18.320 --> 00:42:21.119 way through because I'm sure there's been more talented players 773 00:42:21.159 --> 00:42:23.360 probably than both of them in the academy at one 774 00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:27.360 point or another. But as we know, it's not just 775 00:42:27.440 --> 00:42:30.599 talent that gets you there, right, these guys understand the 776 00:42:30.719 --> 00:42:35.239 process and they understand what it takes mentally and physically 777 00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:38.000 to continue to get to the next level and keep 778 00:42:38.039 --> 00:42:40.679 pushing it. And so yeah, they're not going to be 779 00:42:41.920 --> 00:42:45.159 in awe of many situations because they've got a good 780 00:42:45.199 --> 00:42:48.039 head on their shoulders and they've prepared for these moments 781 00:42:48.119 --> 00:42:51.039 and so, yeah, that's a big part of it. 782 00:42:51.800 --> 00:42:56.440 What about for those adults or those other talented folks 783 00:42:56.440 --> 00:43:00.159 that come into that situation and may not understand and 784 00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:03.880 what it means. They did in their previous locations and 785 00:43:03.920 --> 00:43:07.039 they understood what it meant then, but how you know 786 00:43:07.119 --> 00:43:09.639 when it comes to you're with it Landy United as 787 00:43:09.679 --> 00:43:12.480 an example, So you have a player who comes in 788 00:43:12.880 --> 00:43:14.880 who doesn't understand what it means to be a part 789 00:43:14.880 --> 00:43:17.559 of it Landy United. What are the conversations like early 790 00:43:17.639 --> 00:43:21.199 on with those new additions to a roster to sit 791 00:43:21.199 --> 00:43:22.880 there and say, no, it's a big deal here. What 792 00:43:23.480 --> 00:43:25.840 kind of conversations. How do you impress upon those new 793 00:43:25.880 --> 00:43:28.320 folks coming into a situation what it means and what 794 00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:28.920 it should mean. 795 00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:33.400 Well, I think you know, it's easy to lecture, but 796 00:43:33.480 --> 00:43:37.119 that's it's tough for the other person to sometimes take 797 00:43:37.159 --> 00:43:40.039 it in right. It depends on the individual. And so 798 00:43:40.960 --> 00:43:44.719 our biggest piece of advice is find someone that's been 799 00:43:44.760 --> 00:43:47.079 there for a while and make sure you're sitting at 800 00:43:47.079 --> 00:43:49.599 their lunch table and listening to what they're talking about 801 00:43:49.639 --> 00:43:52.480 and what they say. And find a good pro that's 802 00:43:52.519 --> 00:43:54.159 been a pro for a really long time or been 803 00:43:54.199 --> 00:43:56.079 at this club for a long long time, and watch 804 00:43:56.280 --> 00:43:58.360 what they do over a week and not just on 805 00:43:58.440 --> 00:43:59.760 the field, right, What time do they get to the 806 00:43:59.800 --> 00:44:02.159 train grounds, what do they do before training, what do 807 00:44:02.159 --> 00:44:04.239 they do after training? How are they taking care of 808 00:44:04.239 --> 00:44:08.360 their body? All those things like watch learn right that way, 809 00:44:08.400 --> 00:44:10.199 I don't have to tell you right, just use your 810 00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:14.559 eyes and you know you'll see it. So you know, 811 00:44:14.639 --> 00:44:17.000 that's definitely our biggest piece of advice. That way. We 812 00:44:17.079 --> 00:44:20.079 try and keep the lecturing down as much as possible. 813 00:44:20.599 --> 00:44:24.239 Well, I mean when you at well and right in 814 00:44:24.280 --> 00:44:27.559 these days as a as a mentor, what you want 815 00:44:27.599 --> 00:44:30.079 to do is you want to have conversations with you 816 00:44:30.199 --> 00:44:34.039 don't want to lecture for sure, because especially with the 817 00:44:34.079 --> 00:44:37.440 younger athlete today, they they don't like get I don't 818 00:44:37.480 --> 00:44:39.719 think that they really take a whole lot to being 819 00:44:39.800 --> 00:44:42.920 lectured too. I think that they if if if your 820 00:44:42.960 --> 00:44:46.159 conversation and correct me if I'm wrong, if the conversation 821 00:44:46.320 --> 00:44:49.039 is honest and there's give and take, where they can 822 00:44:49.079 --> 00:44:51.280 sit there and feel like they can speak freely with you, 823 00:44:51.760 --> 00:44:54.239 even you, even if you are you know Michael Parkhurst 824 00:44:54.320 --> 00:44:56.920 and bold font and you know capital letters and everything. 825 00:44:57.400 --> 00:44:59.360 I think that if there's an honest give and take 826 00:44:59.719 --> 00:45:02.559 the instructive criticism, they can take it and they take 827 00:45:02.599 --> 00:45:05.440 it well. Whereas if you come out of the blocks 828 00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:07.800 and you're just straight, you know, fingerpointing and lecturing, it's 829 00:45:07.840 --> 00:45:09.440 just going to be like, all right, I'm changing the channel. 830 00:45:09.480 --> 00:45:10.880 I'm out the door totally. 831 00:45:11.559 --> 00:45:14.480 And that's what That's what good leadership is, right, it's 832 00:45:14.559 --> 00:45:19.840 not just leading, it's asking, it's it's questioning, it's listening. 833 00:45:20.239 --> 00:45:22.719 And so yeah, in our sessions, of course, we try 834 00:45:22.719 --> 00:45:25.400 and ask questions, and we try and have the mentee speak, 835 00:45:26.360 --> 00:45:28.440 you know, forty fifty percent of the time, right, what 836 00:45:28.480 --> 00:45:31.239 do you think? What do you see? How did you feel? 837 00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:33.880 What do you think you could have done differently? Right 838 00:45:33.920 --> 00:45:36.400 in all these different situations that we talk about, and 839 00:45:36.440 --> 00:45:38.760 then we can say, hey, yeah, have you thought about 840 00:45:38.760 --> 00:45:40.960 this or what about that? Or you know, this is 841 00:45:40.960 --> 00:45:42.920 how I dealt with this, you know when I had 842 00:45:42.920 --> 00:45:46.559 a similar situation type thing. But yeah, it's yeah, it's 843 00:45:46.599 --> 00:45:47.400 a delicate balance. 844 00:45:47.679 --> 00:45:52.960 So if you were in the Atlanta United locker room 845 00:45:53.320 --> 00:45:57.239 and you were to have those kinds of conversations, how 846 00:45:57.280 --> 00:45:59.760 would you want a conversation like that to go? You're 847 00:45:59.800 --> 00:46:02.800 asked to speak to the current roster. 848 00:46:03.599 --> 00:46:04.920 You go in the current situation. 849 00:46:05.039 --> 00:46:08.360 In the current situation, So if you in the current situation, 850 00:46:08.559 --> 00:46:11.360 you are asked to go in and have a conversation 851 00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:14.760 behind closed doors, I mean, I'm asking you to have 852 00:46:14.760 --> 00:46:16.519 a closed door conversation and let me know what you 853 00:46:16.519 --> 00:46:19.960 would say in a closed door conversation. Basically, Uh, I 854 00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:21.960 don't think you're gonna come at it with the hair dryer. 855 00:46:22.000 --> 00:46:24.599 There might be moments where you would, but what are 856 00:46:24.639 --> 00:46:26.880 the main talking points that you would have to the 857 00:46:26.880 --> 00:46:37.320 folks in the room. 858 00:46:32.559 --> 00:46:35.760 Without going into individuals, I would try and keep it 859 00:46:35.840 --> 00:46:41.519 more of Every team goes through points like this in 860 00:46:41.519 --> 00:46:45.000 a season, every team, no matter what, and the ones 861 00:46:45.039 --> 00:46:48.679 that come out of it together and figure things out 862 00:46:49.079 --> 00:46:51.199 are the strongest teams at the end of the season. 863 00:46:51.400 --> 00:46:53.400 Right they they have figured it out and they've gone 864 00:46:53.480 --> 00:46:56.320 they've been battle tested, and they've regrouped and they've figured 865 00:46:56.320 --> 00:46:59.679 it out. And when they figure it out, they're going 866 00:46:59.719 --> 00:47:02.880 to go through another period throughout the season. Right, or 867 00:47:02.880 --> 00:47:05.400 maybe in a game, and you have to be able 868 00:47:05.440 --> 00:47:08.239 to look at each other and bounce back quickly. Right 869 00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:10.079 in a playoff game, you don't have time, right, you 870 00:47:10.119 --> 00:47:12.400 have to bounce back quickly. You know there's going to 871 00:47:12.440 --> 00:47:15.400 be different moments, and you know this is a moment 872 00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:18.360 for them and they have to pull together. And the 873 00:47:18.400 --> 00:47:21.320 other thing I would say is like, guys, you're Atlanta 874 00:47:21.360 --> 00:47:24.519 freaking United. You need to like have a chip on 875 00:47:24.559 --> 00:47:28.159 your shoulder to say we are ballers and we are 876 00:47:28.360 --> 00:47:30.559 the better team. Whether you believe it or not, or 877 00:47:30.599 --> 00:47:32.599 whether it's two or not, that's the belief you need 878 00:47:32.639 --> 00:47:34.199 to have. And so hey, we're going to go out 879 00:47:34.239 --> 00:47:37.199 there and we're going to show that we deserve or 880 00:47:37.360 --> 00:47:40.039 we think that we deserve right to be the ballers 881 00:47:40.079 --> 00:47:42.079 of this game. And does that mean we need to 882 00:47:42.119 --> 00:47:44.960 dictate the game the whole time. No, But that means 883 00:47:44.960 --> 00:47:47.480 we even if we're defending for sixty minutes, we can 884 00:47:47.519 --> 00:47:50.639 still put fear in the other team by counter attacking. 885 00:47:50.960 --> 00:47:51.159 Right. 886 00:47:51.199 --> 00:47:54.639 It's there's different ways to put fear into the other team. 887 00:47:54.840 --> 00:47:58.119 And you know, I think that they're still capable of 888 00:47:58.159 --> 00:48:01.039 doing that, but it definitely starts with some belief and 889 00:48:01.079 --> 00:48:04.639 some knowledge that hey, we have each other's back and 890 00:48:04.639 --> 00:48:06.440 we're going to get out of this. And you know, 891 00:48:06.599 --> 00:48:08.639 maybe start with just getting a point this weekend. 892 00:48:08.920 --> 00:48:10.360 When was the last time you stood up in a 893 00:48:10.440 --> 00:48:13.039 room and had to give a speech like that, it's 894 00:48:13.079 --> 00:48:15.119 been a while, how'd that feel. 895 00:48:17.840 --> 00:48:21.239 I don't really like love giving speeches. I did it 896 00:48:21.280 --> 00:48:27.599 as infrequently as I could when I was playing, But 897 00:48:27.840 --> 00:48:31.000 I think that also helps it go over stronger. The 898 00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:34.639 message comes out stronger, because you know, if you're yapping 899 00:48:34.679 --> 00:48:36.239 all the time, you get tuned out. 900 00:48:36.400 --> 00:48:40.840 Yeah, because if someone like you that is the quiet, 901 00:48:40.880 --> 00:48:44.559 confident leader, you know, that's like you want your actions 902 00:48:44.559 --> 00:48:46.880 to do it most of the time, because when you 903 00:48:46.960 --> 00:48:51.760 do stand up, everybody's like, oh you know what, oh ish. 904 00:48:52.079 --> 00:48:54.519 Look if Parky's standing up and he's talking and he's 905 00:48:54.559 --> 00:48:57.199 addressing the room, then he's really got something on his 906 00:48:57.239 --> 00:48:58.760 mind that he wants all of us to hear. 907 00:48:58.960 --> 00:48:59.159 You know. 908 00:49:00.079 --> 00:49:05.119 I mean, who were those who were those quiet leaders 909 00:49:05.920 --> 00:49:08.679 when you were playing outside of when you were the leader, 910 00:49:08.679 --> 00:49:10.480 Who were the leaders that you learned from when you 911 00:49:10.480 --> 00:49:10.960 were playing. 912 00:49:12.440 --> 00:49:16.360 Yeah, Jeff was for sure a quiet leader within the team, right. 913 00:49:16.639 --> 00:49:21.199 He just took no ish on or off the field. 914 00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:23.400 But also he was like, you know, a guy you 915 00:49:23.440 --> 00:49:25.960 could talk to off the field and everybody respected, and 916 00:49:26.039 --> 00:49:30.000 he went about his business right. Jeff, for the every 917 00:49:30.239 --> 00:49:33.840 single year felt like he had something to prove that 918 00:49:35.000 --> 00:49:38.199 somebody doesn't respect me, somebody doesn't think that I'm good enough. 919 00:49:39.039 --> 00:49:41.199 And every year it was I need to I need 920 00:49:41.239 --> 00:49:43.039 to show it. I need to prove why that's not 921 00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:48.559 the case. And so you know, that's that's an incredible 922 00:49:48.599 --> 00:49:51.280 mentality to have and it's why he played for so 923 00:49:51.360 --> 00:49:53.960 long and had so much success. But he was definitely 924 00:49:53.960 --> 00:49:56.519 a quiet leader. I had a really good captain and 925 00:49:57.519 --> 00:50:01.400 Norschalin who was respected a lot, and he was the 926 00:50:01.440 --> 00:50:04.199 same way. He was loud when he needed to be, 927 00:50:04.360 --> 00:50:07.000 but just you know, really had the respect of a 928 00:50:07.039 --> 00:50:11.280 lot of the guys, everybody actually, And I think that 929 00:50:12.079 --> 00:50:16.159 for me, it's about showing up every day and doing 930 00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:20.360 the little things. It's are you out there grinding every 931 00:50:20.440 --> 00:50:23.920 day with everybody else and doing it? And that's why 932 00:50:24.000 --> 00:50:26.559 Darlington is a leader as well. Right, the guy doesn't 933 00:50:26.559 --> 00:50:31.000 take days off. It's incredible. And yeah, he's not loud 934 00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:32.599 and he's not the raw raw and he's not gonna 935 00:50:33.159 --> 00:50:35.159 you know, really talk in a huddle and things like that, 936 00:50:35.280 --> 00:50:40.000 but everybody respects him and that's because he does everything 937 00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:40.840 the right way. 938 00:50:40.920 --> 00:50:43.480 All right, So what's with the BWP coming up in 939 00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:45.599 a handful of minutes.

Actually 1027 00:54:40.519 --> 00:54:43.679 you have to come on the show. You let me know. 1028 00:54:44.360 --> 00:54:47.000 Okay, So Michael, before you go, and I know that 1029 00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:49.920 the fourth has held up the banner here, what question 1030 00:54:50.039 --> 00:54:51.280 do you have for BWP. 1031 00:54:55.079 --> 00:54:57.119 I don't think toughest. 1032 00:54:57.280 --> 00:54:58.639 Toughest thing about the new gig. 1033 00:55:00.039 --> 00:55:01.920 I think in the beginning, I think great question. By 1034 00:55:01.960 --> 00:55:04.199 the way, the hardest part for me was trying to 1035 00:55:04.199 --> 00:55:06.840 be myself, like just how I jump onto this podcast, 1036 00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:10.599 just like right this second, I'm trying to get that more, 1037 00:55:10.639 --> 00:55:13.960 you know, be myself, analyze the game, say what I think, 1038 00:55:14.039 --> 00:55:16.320 but sounding like Bradley when I first got on, I 1039 00:55:16.360 --> 00:55:18.360 was trying to sound, and I felt like I sounded 1040 00:55:18.400 --> 00:55:21.000 like other people. Now, I don't care if the you know, 1041 00:55:21.039 --> 00:55:22.920 the word I use is a little bit different. I 1042 00:55:22.960 --> 00:55:24.599 want you to know who I am while I'm talking 1043 00:55:24.639 --> 00:55:27.039 about this game. That was the hardest part. 1044 00:55:27.199 --> 00:55:31.519 All right, So bw PTE question for Michael Parkers, that's. 1045 00:55:31.360 --> 00:55:36.519 A tough one. No, okay, okay, you weren't the biggest 1046 00:55:36.519 --> 00:55:37.960 center back, but I found you one of the most 1047 00:55:38.000 --> 00:55:41.840 difficult to play against. How did you gain your advantages. 1048 00:55:45.400 --> 00:55:48.960 Using using my brain? I didn't want. I had to 1049 00:55:49.000 --> 00:55:53.199 avoid physical confrontation, right because every every striker, even yourself, 1050 00:55:53.320 --> 00:55:56.559 was stronger and faster than me. So anytime I was 1051 00:55:56.559 --> 00:55:58.360 in a fifty to fifty was no boyl for me. 1052 00:55:58.800 --> 00:56:00.719 So it was I had to be there before them. 1053 00:56:01.039 --> 00:56:02.480 So I had to know where the ball was going, 1054 00:56:02.599 --> 00:56:05.320 give myself the extra moment, and always have my brain on. 1055 00:56:05.599 --> 00:56:05.760 It. 1056 00:56:05.800 --> 00:56:09.280 Couldn't relax because just didn't have the physical tools to 1057 00:56:09.320 --> 00:56:11.599 just be lazy and make up. 1058 00:56:11.639 --> 00:56:14.400 It felt like playing against you felt sometimes I'll do 1059 00:56:14.440 --> 00:56:16.519 like a double movement or try and to spin someone them. 1060 00:56:16.679 --> 00:56:18.039 I would look at him when you're there, I'm like, 1061 00:56:18.039 --> 00:56:19.840 why are you here? Even you know I'm meant to 1062 00:56:19.880 --> 00:56:22.360 have left you on the first one. Well, yeah, credit 1063 00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:24.599 to you. It was tough to think playing against Mike. 1064 00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:28.800 All right, So, Mike, are you looking at bwp's hips 1065 00:56:28.800 --> 00:56:30.960 in a situation like that? Are you looking at the 1066 00:56:31.039 --> 00:56:32.760 running back and sitting there going Okay, the hips are 1067 00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:34.320 going this way and I'm just going to follow him there? 1068 00:56:34.360 --> 00:56:35.920 What's what? What are you looking at? 1069 00:56:37.119 --> 00:56:40.280 No, there's not time for that. It's more what I 1070 00:56:40.480 --> 00:56:43.639 see and what I would do, what I think strikers 1071 00:56:43.719 --> 00:56:46.639 will do, like, oh, where's the space? Where should he run? 1072 00:56:47.280 --> 00:56:47.480 Right? 1073 00:56:47.559 --> 00:56:50.559 And then going to that as those areas and obviously 1074 00:56:50.719 --> 00:56:52.639 you see it time and time again, and and she 1075 00:56:52.840 --> 00:56:54.360 Brad and I played against each other a lot, and 1076 00:56:54.400 --> 00:56:56.800 so after the first few times, you get a sense 1077 00:56:56.840 --> 00:56:59.480 of like, Okay, he likes to make these movements, he 1078 00:56:59.760 --> 00:57:02.480 likes to do certain things. And then you're just trying 1079 00:57:02.519 --> 00:57:04.719 to guess a little bit here and there. Right, Sometimes 1080 00:57:04.719 --> 00:57:07.239 you just especially on crosses and stuff, it's like I 1081 00:57:07.320 --> 00:57:08.920 got to just put myself in the best position that 1082 00:57:08.960 --> 00:57:11.239 I think it's going to go to, and then you know, 1083 00:57:11.360 --> 00:57:14.159 a little bit of luck helps out. But yeah, just 1084 00:57:14.280 --> 00:57:16.519 I'm not looking at the body position so much as 1085 00:57:16.920 --> 00:57:21.000 where I think he should go. But Brad was one 1086 00:57:21.000 --> 00:57:22.920 of the great ones along with Wando. It was like 1087 00:57:23.239 --> 00:57:25.280 what he's talking about double movements, right, A lot of 1088 00:57:25.280 --> 00:57:28.119 strikers don't make double movements. It's easier, right, but the 1089 00:57:28.119 --> 00:57:30.559 double movements really throw the center backs off. But him 1090 00:57:30.599 --> 00:57:34.679 and Wando and Land and the smarter guys always so 1091 00:57:34.760 --> 00:57:35.519 much more difficult. 1092 00:57:35.559 --> 00:57:37.920 Time. App as always, thanks for dropping by when you can't. 1093 00:57:37.960 --> 00:57:39.920 I will text you about your time at Rhode Island 1094 00:57:39.960 --> 00:57:42.280 FC next week and we can get to tour the 1095 00:57:42.280 --> 00:57:44.199 new stadium. Thanks as always for dropping and we'll catch 1096 00:57:44.239 --> 00:57:49.639 up with you soon, my friend. All right, all right, 1097 00:57:49.679 --> 00:57:53.400 so now it is time for BWP to drop by. 1098 00:57:53.519 --> 00:57:55.800 And thanks, first off for coming in on a Friday. 1099 00:57:55.840 --> 00:57:57.800 I know that you're getting prepped for everything. What I 1100 00:57:58.559 --> 00:58:01.159 wanted to do here on SDHA, other than welcome you 1101 00:58:01.199 --> 00:58:05.000 properly and give your Golden ticket status blocks, so to 1102 00:58:05.039 --> 00:58:08.000 come in on any Friday from ten until whenever, because 1103 00:58:08.000 --> 00:58:10.760 this is traditionally the hour of chaos, where folks can 1104 00:58:10.760 --> 00:58:12.480 come in and crash and say their piece two minutes 1105 00:58:12.480 --> 00:58:13.360 string minutes and they can go. 1106 00:58:13.519 --> 00:58:13.920 I like that. 1107 00:58:14.960 --> 00:58:18.519 So Parky kind of took one of my questions, okay 1108 00:58:18.880 --> 00:58:20.800 about you know, no, but no, it's all good. That's 1109 00:58:20.840 --> 00:58:23.400 what we're here for. So what's it like for you 1110 00:58:23.599 --> 00:58:27.079 sitting at the table and doing the gig that you've 1111 00:58:27.119 --> 00:58:28.599 got now where you get to put up with our 1112 00:58:28.639 --> 00:58:29.599 buddy Kevin Egan on. 1113 00:58:30.559 --> 00:58:33.280 First of all, Kevin, what a guy, man. I'll show 1114 00:58:33.360 --> 00:58:36.280 three sixty. You need to have energy, you need a 1115 00:58:36.320 --> 00:58:39.639 good host, and keV is, you know, perfect. He's the 1116 00:58:39.679 --> 00:58:42.000 perfect person for it because he doesn't take a moment off, 1117 00:58:42.079 --> 00:58:45.239 does his research, does his homework. He's enthusiastic. I sit 1118 00:58:45.360 --> 00:58:47.559 right next to him, so that energy just just fools 1119 00:58:47.559 --> 00:58:49.400 onto me. You know, sometimes I'm tired of moody. I 1120 00:58:49.400 --> 00:58:51.239 want to be a bit, you know, just relaxing. Kes 1121 00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:54.599 just like punching me. You know, he's amazing. What a guy. Yeah, 1122 00:58:54.639 --> 00:58:57.840 but it's very different obviously being an analyst now and 1123 00:58:57.880 --> 00:59:00.039 being in the studio because I was the guy on 1124 00:59:00.119 --> 00:59:03.079 the pitch, you know, trying to ignore these headlines, trying 1125 00:59:03.079 --> 00:59:05.320 to ignore the media and what they thought, you know, 1126 00:59:05.320 --> 00:59:08.199 trying to get my head down this. The transition was tough. 1127 00:59:08.559 --> 00:59:11.039 I found it hard talking about players I knew you don't, 1128 00:59:11.119 --> 00:59:12.679 you know, you have to you have to get over 1129 00:59:12.679 --> 00:59:15.800 that because you don't want to offend anyone. But I 1130 00:59:15.880 --> 00:59:17.519 got some advice from my dad and it was just, 1131 00:59:17.559 --> 00:59:20.800 you know, anything you would say to someone's face, then 1132 00:59:20.840 --> 00:59:22.360 you can you can say it on TV, you know. 1133 00:59:22.400 --> 00:59:25.400 And that stuck with me, and now I find it 1134 00:59:25.440 --> 00:59:28.199 easier to talk. I find it easier being myself. And 1135 00:59:28.239 --> 00:59:30.320 that's that's facts obviously to the staff and then the crew. 1136 00:59:30.360 --> 00:59:32.360 I have with me two big topics that I do 1137 00:59:32.440 --> 00:59:34.800 want to borrow you on here this morning, over the 1138 00:59:34.800 --> 00:59:37.199 next fifteen minutes, basically the good, the bad, and the 1139 00:59:37.280 --> 00:59:39.199 ugly here at the quarter pole. And I do want 1140 00:59:39.199 --> 00:59:41.519 to ask specifically about what you think about it, Landy, 1141 00:59:41.559 --> 00:59:43.960 and iighted, what direction do you want to go? First? 1142 00:59:45.079 --> 00:59:46.079 Good, the bad and the ugly? 1143 00:59:46.119 --> 00:59:47.719 All right, so good, the bad, and the ugly at 1144 00:59:47.760 --> 00:59:49.280 the quarter pole? Who's the good? 1145 00:59:51.039 --> 00:59:54.760 The good? Vancouver obviously mm hmm, yeah, Vancouver has been brilliant. 1146 00:59:55.000 --> 00:59:57.360 Sorrowson's done a great job. Even if you watched them 1147 00:59:57.440 --> 01:00:00.559 last night in the CONKAKAFT Champions Cup. This is not luck. 1148 01:00:00.760 --> 01:00:04.320 This is a well coached team with very good players 1149 01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:06.800 that you know us in this league because they're not 1150 01:00:06.880 --> 01:00:10.639 superstars and you know, they weren't playing at big clubs abroad. 1151 01:00:10.440 --> 01:00:12.880 We almost don't want to give these Brian White's and 1152 01:00:12.960 --> 01:00:19.199 Ryan Golds and these players. Takahoka the keeper, Vesselinovich blackman, 1153 01:00:19.280 --> 01:00:21.599 these guys are stars right now. This season they are stars, 1154 01:00:21.599 --> 01:00:24.159 and depending how this season goes, they they should be 1155 01:00:24.239 --> 01:00:24.880 recognized as that. 1156 01:00:25.840 --> 01:00:29.199 All right. So that's good in the Western Conference, good 1157 01:00:29.239 --> 01:00:32.280 in the Eastern Conference. Outside of Messi and friends. 1158 01:00:33.079 --> 01:00:37.039 I have to say I'm torn between three teams. Obviously, 1159 01:00:37.039 --> 01:00:40.199 the three teams, but because I think Columbus, you know, 1160 01:00:40.360 --> 01:00:42.280 this is a team I love dearly. I only spent 1161 01:00:42.320 --> 01:00:44.119 a year in Columbus, but the way they treat me there, 1162 01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:46.039 the football they played, it's just a great place to 1163 01:00:46.039 --> 01:00:48.800 play football. And Wilfrid Nanty's gone in there after Caleb 1164 01:00:48.840 --> 01:00:51.480 and done a great job. I just think I thought 1165 01:00:51.480 --> 01:00:53.119 at the beginning of the season they would struggle a bit, 1166 01:00:53.119 --> 01:00:56.559 no Kucha. You know, they lose Ramirez, that was a 1167 01:00:56.559 --> 01:00:58.079 player that could come off the bench or start and 1168 01:00:58.119 --> 01:01:00.440 get you goals. And I thought maybe this, you know, 1169 01:01:00.480 --> 01:01:02.360 maybe that last little bit that extract is going to 1170 01:01:02.400 --> 01:01:04.519 be tough. But they're still up there, you know, they're 1171 01:01:04.559 --> 01:01:06.599 still up there. They're still coach world. Wilfrid Nunt. He's 1172 01:01:06.599 --> 01:01:08.599 a very good coach, so I have to put him in. 1173 01:01:08.639 --> 01:01:10.199 I think that's a very good season start to this 1174 01:01:10.239 --> 01:01:13.079 season for him. Then Cincinnati, you know, looking at them, 1175 01:01:13.079 --> 01:01:16.360 they haven't blown me away with performances. But again, it's 1176 01:01:16.360 --> 01:01:19.239 a team that's built on some real like defensive foundations. 1177 01:01:19.440 --> 01:01:23.480 They work for each other, real team, real team like 1178 01:01:23.960 --> 01:01:28.119 efic around that squad. They're getting players back now evanders Is, 1179 01:01:28.840 --> 01:01:32.559 he's a very very top player, top top player. Yeah, 1180 01:01:32.599 --> 01:01:34.960 they're getting him going and with players to come back, 1181 01:01:35.000 --> 01:01:37.000 I just think they just get stronger and stronger. And 1182 01:01:37.039 --> 01:01:39.360 then Charlotte, because Charlotte, if you ask me, I'm not 1183 01:01:39.679 --> 01:01:41.119 you know this early in the season. I know it's 1184 01:01:41.159 --> 01:01:43.639 what ten games coming up now, I'm not putting them. 1185 01:01:43.719 --> 01:01:45.760 You know, where are they in the league now? Second? 1186 01:01:46.000 --> 01:01:49.440 Yeah, I mean they're they're right there, right, they're part 1187 01:01:49.440 --> 01:01:50.079 of that gaggle. 1188 01:01:50.199 --> 01:01:53.400 Yeah yeah, yeah. So credit to Dean Smith and his boys. 1189 01:01:53.400 --> 01:01:55.559 They still got to get Wilfrid Darhago. Imagine when he 1190 01:01:55.559 --> 01:01:58.480 starts playing really well again, you're looking at a strong team. 1191 01:01:58.840 --> 01:02:00.159 So I'd say that's the good Dar. 1192 01:02:00.280 --> 01:02:02.559 All right, so bad East or West, take your pick. 1193 01:02:04.639 --> 01:02:11.719 I'll go I'll go West first. Okay, I have to 1194 01:02:11.719 --> 01:02:14.039 throw the Galaxy in there, because they are the Galaxy 1195 01:02:15.320 --> 01:02:17.400 probably the biggest team, you know, the most famous team 1196 01:02:17.400 --> 01:02:19.960 in the MLS and when you see them in the deposition, 1197 01:02:20.079 --> 01:02:23.039 they are It's got to be tough for Great Valley. 1198 01:02:23.119 --> 01:02:25.239 Obviously they've had their issues, but yeah, I gotta throw 1199 01:02:25.239 --> 01:02:30.280 that in bad the West as well. I'll just leave 1200 01:02:30.320 --> 01:02:32.840 it with that. Actually bad in the East, and this 1201 01:02:32.920 --> 01:02:35.320 ain't the worst. And I'm with you guys now, this 1202 01:02:35.360 --> 01:02:38.880 is more because you know the frustration when I want 1203 01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:42.360 to say Atlanta, because yeah, when you spend the money 1204 01:02:42.360 --> 01:02:45.800 you did, especially on the attack. Me as an avid 1205 01:02:45.800 --> 01:02:49.000 football fan, I was excited to watch Atlanta United. How'marron 1206 01:02:49.079 --> 01:02:51.480 coming back? I've played against this team. I've played against 1207 01:02:51.519 --> 01:02:54.079 Atlanta when they are the top team at the bench. 1208 01:02:54.239 --> 01:02:57.280 It is a horrible place to play, daunted. Honestly, if 1209 01:02:57.320 --> 01:02:59.679 you don't get a good start, forget about it. You're 1210 01:02:59.719 --> 01:03:02.320 going to like you're getting run over for a day 1211 01:03:02.320 --> 01:03:04.280 and a half. Is a very tough place to play. 1212 01:03:04.440 --> 01:03:07.079 It is, so I thought those days were coming back, 1213 01:03:07.159 --> 01:03:09.639 you know, with this new front line and I've been 1214 01:03:09.679 --> 01:03:12.000 a little bit disappointed because I know the talent that's there. 1215 01:03:12.280 --> 01:03:14.880 I know it can be put together. Just they just 1216 01:03:14.880 --> 01:03:18.239 look a bit indecisive. The balance is off and I'm 1217 01:03:18.280 --> 01:03:20.480 not sure what they're trying to do. So for me, 1218 01:03:20.559 --> 01:03:23.199 that's bad, and it it's because what I expected. I 1219 01:03:23.239 --> 01:03:24.960 wanted to see more from that side. 1220 01:03:24.679 --> 01:03:27.320 All right, So Bookmarke Atlanta and push them to the back. 1221 01:03:28.159 --> 01:03:29.599 Ugly in the East and the West. 1222 01:03:31.000 --> 01:03:33.519 Oh yeah, sorry, ugly in the East and the West. 1223 01:03:33.280 --> 01:03:35.440 What's ugly Montreal? 1224 01:03:36.559 --> 01:03:40.559 It's tough to say Montreal's ugly because the fixtures, you know, 1225 01:03:40.599 --> 01:03:42.400 the schedule wasn't kind to the beginning season. They have 1226 01:03:42.440 --> 01:03:44.119 to play seven or eight what is it? Seven games 1227 01:03:44.159 --> 01:03:46.320 away from home? Yeah, I don't know if I'm in 1228 01:03:46.360 --> 01:03:48.280 that locker room, if you know what I mean, if 1229 01:03:48.320 --> 01:03:50.239 I enjoy that, I don't know how you know, you 1230 01:03:50.320 --> 01:03:53.559 get through a stretch like that. So it's tough to say. 1231 01:03:53.880 --> 01:03:55.760 You put the roof back on the Big O and 1232 01:03:55.840 --> 01:03:57.480 turn that into a functioning place. 1233 01:03:57.599 --> 01:04:02.880 Probably, it's true. It's tough for me. Have you got 1234 01:04:02.920 --> 01:04:03.719 any suggestions to me? 1235 01:04:04.159 --> 01:04:07.760 Well, I mean I was thinking, you know, for me specifically, 1236 01:04:07.840 --> 01:04:08.920 man allergies are killing. 1237 01:04:09.320 --> 01:04:10.639 They've been kicking my eye this morning. 1238 01:04:11.960 --> 01:04:14.559 So I mean I would have said obviously Montreal with 1239 01:04:14.599 --> 01:04:18.960 their rough start, you know, and you look at the bottom. 1240 01:04:19.039 --> 01:04:21.480 I would have initially said somebody like New England, but 1241 01:04:21.480 --> 01:04:24.920 then Caleb Porter found something. See I don't know how. 1242 01:04:25.679 --> 01:04:28.000 I don't know how folks made it off the tarmac 1243 01:04:28.039 --> 01:04:31.079 in San Jose after what happened. For the ride home, I. 1244 01:04:31.039 --> 01:04:35.360 Really d C is a good shout because while they 1245 01:04:35.360 --> 01:04:38.960 do have a great goalscorer DC is, they've been tough 1246 01:04:38.960 --> 01:04:41.480 to watch early in this season. You know, they've been 1247 01:04:41.519 --> 01:04:43.599 really tough to watch. Troyla saying that I know spent 1248 01:04:43.639 --> 01:04:44.960 a little bit at Troy with when I was at 1249 01:04:45.000 --> 01:04:47.480 Red Bull, and he understands the game. I know what 1250 01:04:47.519 --> 01:04:49.000 he's trying to do. That he wants to play a 1251 01:04:49.079 --> 01:04:52.039 decent side of football. Also with that counterpress thrown in there, 1252 01:04:52.039 --> 01:04:54.639 and it's you know, it hasn't looked pretty, but they 1253 01:04:54.639 --> 01:04:57.639 did get a good result at Red Bull, which is 1254 01:04:57.639 --> 01:04:59.559 not an easy place to go to. So I didn't 1255 01:04:59.559 --> 01:05:02.400 put them in ugly because I'm a fan of seeing 1256 01:05:02.400 --> 01:05:04.360 teams turning around, turning that corner. As soon as I 1257 01:05:04.360 --> 01:05:06.679 see a little den of hope. I look out for that, 1258 01:05:06.719 --> 01:05:09.639 you know, so I don't really have Ugly right now. 1259 01:05:10.199 --> 01:05:13.159 And then Ugly in the West since you had lag 1260 01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:16.119 as a bad yeah, Ugly. 1261 01:05:16.360 --> 01:05:22.079 Yeah, I mean on Kansas City. Yeah, yeah, yeah, Kansas City. 1262 01:05:22.360 --> 01:05:25.559 Again similar to the Galaxy. It's a team that we expect, 1263 01:05:25.599 --> 01:05:29.000 you know, like to be playing a good stile of football, 1264 01:05:29.000 --> 01:05:30.719 a team that we always expect to be competing in 1265 01:05:30.760 --> 01:05:32.760 the playoffs. And when you see them as low as 1266 01:05:32.760 --> 01:05:36.639 they are not stringing together some good results, you know 1267 01:05:38.039 --> 01:05:40.280 more often than not, yeah, you may have to put 1268 01:05:40.280 --> 01:05:40.960 them in that bad. 1269 01:05:40.880 --> 01:05:44.280 Category, all right. So Ugly now, yeah, that's all good. 1270 01:05:44.599 --> 01:05:47.840 The man who has three business cards with or actually 1271 01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:49.840 four if you just want to separate them all out. 1272 01:05:50.119 --> 01:05:53.639 Analyst MLS Countdown, Analyst MLS three sixty, Analyst MLS wrap up, 1273 01:05:53.719 --> 01:05:56.119 MLS Season Pass, Bradley Right, Phillips. We are now at halftime, 1274 01:05:56.320 --> 01:05:59.159 turning into the second half, and I want to break 1275 01:05:59.199 --> 01:06:01.440 things down with you. You mentioned it Landy United in 1276 01:06:01.480 --> 01:06:06.400 the bad, So I asked Parky, I said, if you 1277 01:06:06.599 --> 01:06:09.039 were in that locker room, because he now does he 1278 01:06:09.079 --> 01:06:11.280 and Greg Garza do a lot of work with their 1279 01:06:11.320 --> 01:06:13.559 mentoring aspect. Now they've got I think two hundred and 1280 01:06:13.599 --> 01:06:17.639 fifty the student athletes that they mentor with beyond goals mentoring. 1281 01:06:17.639 --> 01:06:21.000 And I said, okay, with your history with this franchise, 1282 01:06:21.360 --> 01:06:25.239 and you're now mentoring currency that you have. If you 1283 01:06:25.239 --> 01:06:27.599 were to wander into that locker room and talk to 1284 01:06:27.679 --> 01:06:29.800 these guys, even though you weren't necessarily a talker all 1285 01:06:29.800 --> 01:06:31.320 the time, but you had to stand up and say 1286 01:06:31.440 --> 01:06:34.039 the stuff. What would you say? And so you know, 1287 01:06:34.039 --> 01:06:36.920 it's like, look, it's going to turn around and the 1288 01:06:37.000 --> 01:06:38.639 you know, the conversation is going to be there, but 1289 01:06:38.719 --> 01:06:40.480 you know, just keep pushing and pushing in the moments 1290 01:06:40.519 --> 01:06:42.840 will come and then it will snowball and the positive 1291 01:06:42.880 --> 01:06:46.519 from there, unlike the snowballing that's been going on far 1292 01:06:47.039 --> 01:06:49.800 when you see Atlanta. You mentioned obviously putting them in 1293 01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:51.920 the bad because of the expectations, But what else have 1294 01:06:52.000 --> 01:06:54.039 you noticed about it Landy United this year in twenty 1295 01:06:54.079 --> 01:06:55.400 twenty five I. 1296 01:06:55.440 --> 01:06:58.320 Mentioned a little bit earlier. It's just that I don't 1297 01:06:58.440 --> 01:07:00.360 know if they It's like the defense is trying to 1298 01:07:00.400 --> 01:07:03.599 play one way and the attack is is doing another thing. 1299 01:07:04.039 --> 01:07:06.800 I don't know what they're trying to do. I can 1300 01:07:06.880 --> 01:07:09.719 only imagine that if I was, you know, coaching that side, 1301 01:07:09.760 --> 01:07:12.840 and by no means a great coach. It just looks 1302 01:07:12.840 --> 01:07:15.320 at me like it's a team that you know, they 1303 01:07:15.360 --> 01:07:18.440 should have played like Columbus or San Diego. A team 1304 01:07:18.480 --> 01:07:21.320 that looks like they're suited more in transition moments. When 1305 01:07:21.320 --> 01:07:23.880 I think of Saba on the right, he's great running 1306 01:07:23.920 --> 01:07:25.840 into space, He's great getting on the end of the 1307 01:07:25.880 --> 01:07:30.039 passes Latin that has paced to spare. I would like 1308 01:07:30.079 --> 01:07:32.039 to see him more, you know, out on the run, 1309 01:07:32.239 --> 01:07:35.320 getting getting onto through balls and being set free running 1310 01:07:35.320 --> 01:07:39.519 in behind Almron When he plays on the right, I 1311 01:07:39.599 --> 01:07:41.800 don't think it's been as affective because I think he's 1312 01:07:41.840 --> 01:07:43.719 lost a couple of yards, But I do think he 1313 01:07:43.760 --> 01:07:46.599 can still do that central ten role ways, dropping into pockets, 1314 01:07:46.599 --> 01:07:51.599 turning and creating from there and driving breaking lines. Yeah, 1315 01:07:51.960 --> 01:07:54.320 I just don't see a real way of them playing. 1316 01:07:54.360 --> 01:07:56.880 I don't see you know, the things that make them dangerous, 1317 01:07:56.880 --> 01:07:58.360 the things that I just said, I don't see them 1318 01:07:58.400 --> 01:08:00.800 doing that enough. So I I think if I walked 1319 01:08:00.800 --> 01:08:03.559 into that locker room while I'll be trying to, you know, 1320 01:08:03.599 --> 01:08:06.039 get the boys all playing one way, you know, if 1321 01:08:06.039 --> 01:08:07.960 I'm like a lot. I'll be talking to the center back, 1322 01:08:07.960 --> 01:08:10.079 to all the midfielders. You know, when you see me 1323 01:08:10.079 --> 01:08:12.400 in this place, just run, Just play me in behind, 1324 01:08:12.440 --> 01:08:14.400 you know, play me behind. Even if I don't get it. 1325 01:08:14.440 --> 01:08:16.279 We're up the field and we're attacking in their half. 1326 01:08:16.920 --> 01:08:18.880 I think they're in a place now where it can't 1327 01:08:18.880 --> 01:08:20.880 just be relied. You can't just rely on dialogue or 1328 01:08:21.279 --> 01:08:24.039 obviously is his responsibility, but the senior players in that 1329 01:08:24.039 --> 01:08:26.359 locker room have to. They have to come together. I 1330 01:08:26.359 --> 01:08:28.560 remember whenever we were going through hard times, especially at 1331 01:08:28.560 --> 01:08:31.359 Red Bull, we start from the beginning again, we start 1332 01:08:31.399 --> 01:08:34.359 from the begin the basics. First fifteen minutes, maybe we're 1333 01:08:34.359 --> 01:08:36.600 playing their half, don't concede. Then we get to that 1334 01:08:36.680 --> 01:08:39.000 fifty Past that fifteen minutes, it's a different task and 1335 01:08:39.039 --> 01:08:41.640 before you know it's halftime. The results better than it 1336 01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:44.479 was last weekend, and there's something to build off. I 1337 01:08:44.479 --> 01:08:47.000 think they have to go back to basics and forget 1338 01:08:47.039 --> 01:08:49.960 talent for a minute. Is get together, be hard to beat, 1339 01:08:50.359 --> 01:08:51.840 and then take steps from there. 1340 01:08:52.680 --> 01:08:55.920 What about somebody like an Alexi Midanchuk who we know 1341 01:08:56.279 --> 01:08:59.920 his artistry, yeah, and we know what he is capable of, 1342 01:09:00.119 --> 01:09:03.520 almost like that point guard that you see in basketball. Yes, 1343 01:09:03.840 --> 01:09:06.840 who knows where folks need the ball, but it's like 1344 01:09:07.239 --> 01:09:09.760 we talk about positional gravity, and it's something that you 1345 01:09:09.840 --> 01:09:12.239 know a lot about considering that when you had the ball, 1346 01:09:12.520 --> 01:09:14.920 you had like nine dudes just come and collapse upon you. 1347 01:09:14.960 --> 01:09:16.800 But that also means that eight other guys are open 1348 01:09:16.840 --> 01:09:19.560 at that particular moment. When you see someone like Midanchuk 1349 01:09:19.640 --> 01:09:23.279 with his artistry and he played a little deeper against 1350 01:09:23.399 --> 01:09:25.640 NYC at times because they were trying to come back, 1351 01:09:25.680 --> 01:09:27.760 and you saw what he's capable of. What about somebody 1352 01:09:27.760 --> 01:09:28.560 like Midnchuk and. 1353 01:09:28.600 --> 01:09:31.119 Yeah, you hit a nail on the head. When I 1354 01:09:31.159 --> 01:09:33.279 look at Morantu, like there's been a couple of times 1355 01:09:33.600 --> 01:09:36.439 he's had to go in that sixth row and build 1356 01:09:36.439 --> 01:09:37.960 the game for Atlanta if they are going to build, 1357 01:09:38.079 --> 01:09:39.600 if they do want to play that way, he has 1358 01:09:39.640 --> 01:09:41.279 to be in that six role because he's really good 1359 01:09:41.279 --> 01:09:43.760 on the half turn, and I think him playing in 1360 01:09:43.760 --> 01:09:46.199 the six takes a lot of responsibility. I don't want 1361 01:09:46.199 --> 01:09:47.479 to put you know, I don't want to say that 1362 01:09:47.520 --> 01:09:49.880 he's a man that is not built for that moment. 1363 01:09:49.960 --> 01:09:52.319 But I think when you play him in a ten, 1364 01:09:52.359 --> 01:09:53.760 we will look at him and be like, Okay, make 1365 01:09:53.800 --> 01:09:55.560 something happen. We look at him in that Evander rope, 1366 01:09:55.640 --> 01:09:58.640 you know, in what Almaron is coming here to do, 1367 01:09:58.680 --> 01:10:00.439 and I think it's a little bit unfair on. So 1368 01:10:00.439 --> 01:10:02.119 if you play him in the six I think he's 1369 01:10:02.199 --> 01:10:03.640 really good, like I said, at getting on the half 1370 01:10:03.640 --> 01:10:06.000 tend then he can find those players when you put 1371 01:10:06.079 --> 01:10:07.479 him into ten, I don't think he's a man for 1372 01:10:07.479 --> 01:10:09.720 the big moments. You know, in every game. I think 1373 01:10:09.720 --> 01:10:11.720 you see more of his qualities playing deeper on the field, 1374 01:10:11.840 --> 01:10:14.000 deeper down the field, and I think that will help 1375 01:10:14.039 --> 01:10:15.159 at landa a little bit more. 1376 01:10:15.640 --> 01:10:18.600 And you know, in this system that Ronnie currently has 1377 01:10:18.680 --> 01:10:20.800 formationally it's a four two three one, you're dealing with 1378 01:10:20.840 --> 01:10:24.479 two sixes. You have guys like Bart Slash, who he's 1379 01:10:24.479 --> 01:10:25.880 got a bit of a mean streak to him, but 1380 01:10:25.920 --> 01:10:28.560 you're also seeing younger players like Jay Fortune step up. 1381 01:10:28.800 --> 01:10:31.520 You see him atteas Click, who was brought in from 1382 01:10:31.600 --> 01:10:35.640 d C for a pack of Pall Mall's, some Hostess 1383 01:10:35.640 --> 01:10:39.960 twinkies and a box of matches. And you know, when 1384 01:10:39.960 --> 01:10:41.800 he gets healthy, I know what he can bring to 1385 01:10:41.840 --> 01:10:43.359 the table as well. When you look at the rest 1386 01:10:43.399 --> 01:10:45.600 of this roster outside of that attacking for what else 1387 01:10:45.600 --> 01:10:46.039 do you see? 1388 01:10:46.399 --> 01:10:48.720 I see good players, especially if he getting the right 1389 01:10:48.720 --> 01:10:50.800 ones on the field. I see good players. I see 1390 01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:52.920 a team that can play both ways. I see a 1391 01:10:52.960 --> 01:10:54.520 team that could play in transition, and I see a 1392 01:10:54.520 --> 01:10:56.079 team that could build if the right players in the 1393 01:10:56.119 --> 01:10:58.199 right spot. This is why I put them in the 1394 01:10:58.239 --> 01:11:00.840 bad because I don't get I am not seeing it. 1395 01:11:01.680 --> 01:11:04.680 There's no excuse it's a good roster. I'm seeing teams 1396 01:11:04.680 --> 01:11:07.560 with If you take Austin for example, I don't that 1397 01:11:07.880 --> 01:11:12.119 Ross is not bad than Atlanta's, but they've got some 1398 01:11:12.239 --> 01:11:14.039 kind of together and it's they're hard to beat and 1399 01:11:14.079 --> 01:11:16.439 they're somehow right now up the table. 1400 01:11:16.560 --> 01:11:20.239 Well, but they can't score. It's like you bringing all 1401 01:11:20.279 --> 01:11:23.119 this hot you bring in all this heavyweight talent, and 1402 01:11:23.520 --> 01:11:29.479 what Basquez has two? Uh what it's uh yeah, it. 1403 01:11:29.439 --> 01:11:31.279 Hasn't been good enough. You're right, That's what I'm saying. 1404 01:11:31.319 --> 01:11:33.680 For them in attacking, it hasn't been good enough. But 1405 01:11:33.720 --> 01:11:35.640 they can still be at the top of the table. 1406 01:11:36.079 --> 01:11:39.079 So for me, why is Atlanta not doing something similar. 1407 01:11:39.079 --> 01:11:41.199 I'm not saying play that style of football. I'm saying, 1408 01:11:41.520 --> 01:11:44.119 you know, at least putting these performances where Okay, the 1409 01:11:44.159 --> 01:11:46.399 attack's not going well, but you don't just come to 1410 01:11:46.600 --> 01:11:48.560 the Bens and beat us. You know this is a 1411 01:11:48.560 --> 01:11:50.920 difficult team, This should be a difficult team to play against. 1412 01:11:51.880 --> 01:11:53.439 Then you dropped a whole lot of am to bring 1413 01:11:53.479 --> 01:11:55.640 in Robert Taylor away from Messi and friends to help 1414 01:11:55.680 --> 01:11:58.159 out with your offense. Three minute warning. I know I'm 1415 01:11:58.239 --> 01:12:01.600 keeping you to a clock, all right. So this weekend 1416 01:12:01.720 --> 01:12:05.680 it is Atlanta and the Purple Team in Central Florida. See. Yeah, 1417 01:12:06.079 --> 01:12:07.880 The thing is the only way that we can mention 1418 01:12:08.000 --> 01:12:11.520 the O word here is if we if we sing 1419 01:12:11.560 --> 01:12:16.000 it like Book of Mormon, literally, we have to say Orlando. 1420 01:12:16.359 --> 01:12:18.439 We're going to say that. Otherwise they're just the Purple team. 1421 01:12:18.560 --> 01:12:20.279 Just good. I used to do that when I played 1422 01:12:20.279 --> 01:12:22.279 for the Rebel. I would call it the New York City 1423 01:12:22.319 --> 01:12:24.399 the Blue Team. So I get it. I get it. 1424 01:12:24.800 --> 01:12:28.439 So Atlanta United in the Purple team coming up this weekend. 1425 01:12:28.840 --> 01:12:30.880 When you see this kind of a rivalry match like 1426 01:12:30.920 --> 01:12:33.239 you did with Red and Blue, what sticks to mind 1427 01:12:33.239 --> 01:12:34.039 in this matchup for you? 1428 01:12:35.439 --> 01:12:37.520 So you talking about gameplay first of all? Yeah, I'll 1429 01:12:37.560 --> 01:12:39.279 talk about gameplay first and one and I'll talk about 1430 01:12:39.319 --> 01:12:42.359 how I would go into those games. So I think gameplay, 1431 01:12:42.600 --> 01:12:44.159 the game's there for the take you for both teams. 1432 01:12:44.199 --> 01:12:46.840 Both teams not in a great place. So if I'm 1433 01:12:46.880 --> 01:12:49.680 in each locker room, I'll go into that game thinking 1434 01:12:49.720 --> 01:12:52.000 we can win this if we just do ABC, we 1435 01:12:52.039 --> 01:12:56.479 can win this game. For Orlando at the moment that 1436 01:12:55.399 --> 01:12:58.560 that front four that started off so well and not 1437 01:12:58.600 --> 01:13:01.880 firing on all cylinders, uglying that plays into your hands. 1438 01:13:02.079 --> 01:13:03.960 I think if you can make the game difficult in 1439 01:13:04.000 --> 01:13:07.279 the first half, first half of the half, first half, sorry, 1440 01:13:07.880 --> 01:13:11.319 then you're looking at maybe getting a good result. Yeah, 1441 01:13:11.319 --> 01:13:13.359 but I expect to see fireworks. These are the kind 1442 01:13:13.359 --> 01:13:16.399 of games that can that can turn your season. These 1443 01:13:16.479 --> 01:13:18.439 kind of games for Atlanta. Now, if you get a 1444 01:13:18.439 --> 01:13:21.319 big win here and build a meta from this place, 1445 01:13:21.359 --> 01:13:24.159 you can look back come you know, October and whatever 1446 01:13:24.159 --> 01:13:25.600 and say, you know what, when we played that game, 1447 01:13:25.600 --> 01:13:27.880 when we beat one of our rivals. I think that's 1448 01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:29.720 the way you can put, you know, a stamp where 1449 01:13:29.920 --> 01:13:31.600 the season started to change for them. 1450 01:13:32.000 --> 01:13:34.279 All right, last question for you, the time to cut 1451 01:13:34.279 --> 01:13:37.479 the promo because you are on MLS countdown, MLS three 1452 01:13:37.520 --> 01:13:39.760 sixty and MLS wrap up on MLS season pass as 1453 01:13:39.880 --> 01:13:43.159 MLS Bradley Right, Phillips, I feel like now MLS needs 1454 01:13:43.199 --> 01:13:45.319 to be in front of every single aspect of your name, 1455 01:13:45.359 --> 01:13:47.640 with everything that you're doing up there with Apple these days. 1456 01:13:47.760 --> 01:13:49.680 What's going on this weekend? When do you go into 1457 01:13:49.720 --> 01:13:52.720 production meetings? When do you get to see Kevin Egan? 1458 01:13:52.760 --> 01:13:54.840 What cut the promo for me? What book should expect 1459 01:13:54.840 --> 01:13:55.359 this weekend? 1460 01:13:55.560 --> 01:13:59.359 Okay, so I'll head up to Connecticut on Saturday morning. 1461 01:13:59.439 --> 01:14:02.359 I'll get to this sh studio maybe two thirty, sit down, 1462 01:14:02.399 --> 01:14:04.000 gathering my thoughts, and that's when you start seeing the 1463 01:14:04.000 --> 01:14:07.920 boys come in. First of all, Yeah, production meeting, Yeah, 1464 01:14:07.920 --> 01:14:10.239 and then we'll go we'll go on air for the 1465 01:14:10.279 --> 01:14:13.079 first tundown, maybe six thirty. You know, after all the 1466 01:14:13.079 --> 01:14:15.039 prep's done for those few hours six point thirty, do 1467 01:14:15.159 --> 01:14:18.000 an hour just building up the games, building some excitement, 1468 01:14:18.119 --> 01:14:20.319 letting you know our opinions. And then straight after that 1469 01:14:20.359 --> 01:14:22.439 won't even move from the studio three sixty and that's 1470 01:14:22.439 --> 01:14:24.560 when it gets hectic. And that's where your boy keV 1471 01:14:24.600 --> 01:14:26.560 comes in and just gets that energy going. We've just 1472 01:14:26.600 --> 01:14:29.199 got a bunch of games going on, a bunch of goals, 1473 01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:32.000 bunch of key plays just a lot of fun. It's 1474 01:14:32.039 --> 01:14:33.840 a long time, but that's like the most fun you 1475 01:14:33.880 --> 01:14:36.600 can have in five to six hours. Honestly, it's brilliant. 1476 01:14:36.960 --> 01:14:39.279 And after that, I was gonna say, what's it like 1477 01:14:39.319 --> 01:14:41.039 flying without a net for six hours? 1478 01:14:41.560 --> 01:14:44.319 It's crazy because you're watching so the mone it will 1479 01:14:44.359 --> 01:14:46.479 be to our right somewhere. So I want to focus 1480 01:14:46.479 --> 01:14:48.000 on the show, but I also want to see what's 1481 01:14:48.000 --> 01:14:49.479 happening in the game. So when we do go to 1482 01:14:49.520 --> 01:14:51.439 that key play, I have some good feedback for you. 1483 01:14:51.520 --> 01:14:53.720 I have some good analysis. There's been times where you 1484 01:14:53.760 --> 01:14:55.920 get pull, you might miss a goal. It comes up 1485 01:14:55.960 --> 01:14:57.800 as a key play. We get to watch it obviously, 1486 01:14:57.840 --> 01:14:59.439 but I haven't seen the build up, so I don't 1487 01:14:59.439 --> 01:15:01.439 even know how this all's come about, you know what 1488 01:15:01.479 --> 01:15:04.000 I mean. So it's hard really focusing on the game 1489 01:15:04.000 --> 01:15:05.680 that's on the screen, what you guys might be seeing them, 1490 01:15:05.720 --> 01:15:07.880 focusing on getting little nuggets for you guys. So when 1491 01:15:07.920 --> 01:15:11.199 you see that key play giving you the information, it's crazy, 1492 01:15:11.199 --> 01:15:12.479 it's carnage. 1493 01:15:12.319 --> 01:15:14.800 It is it's and then but the thing is you 1494 01:15:14.880 --> 01:15:16.279 may not be able to see the build up, but 1495 01:15:16.279 --> 01:15:17.880 then you get to see the build up on MLS 1496 01:15:17.920 --> 01:15:18.439 wrap up. 1497 01:15:18.399 --> 01:15:21.239 Right facts, So that wrap up is like a it's 1498 01:15:21.279 --> 01:15:25.239 probably the show where you get to really talk about 1499 01:15:25.279 --> 01:15:26.960 what you saw in a game, because we've seen them 1500 01:15:27.000 --> 01:15:28.600 all on the Saturday and now we do the wrap 1501 01:15:28.680 --> 01:15:31.800 up on Sunday night after Sunday Night soccer. So now 1502 01:15:31.840 --> 01:15:33.520 I've seen all those goals. Now I've seen all those 1503 01:15:33.520 --> 01:15:35.399 build ups. Now I've heard all the talks, what people 1504 01:15:35.439 --> 01:15:37.439 think and what my opinions are. So wrap up you 1505 01:15:37.439 --> 01:15:39.359 can really have conversations. That's why you see it's a 1506 01:15:39.359 --> 01:15:41.640 more laid back ride. We're in the sofas you know, 1507 01:15:41.680 --> 01:15:44.039 we're in the comfy seats, and we're talking and really 1508 01:15:44.079 --> 01:15:47.039 dissecting these games and our thoughts on the weekend. 1509 01:15:46.880 --> 01:15:49.399 Especially if you're sitting in a hard chair for six hours. 1510 01:15:51.359 --> 01:15:54.640 As always, you are officially now golden ticket status. You 1511 01:15:54.720 --> 01:15:57.680 have the garage door opener, you know where the spare 1512 01:15:57.760 --> 01:16:00.279 key is, and so anytime you want to come in 1513 01:16:00.319 --> 01:16:02.680 and crashing this hour of chaos as we get the 1514 01:16:02.720 --> 01:16:04.520 weekend prepped, you know you can. 1515 01:16:05.039 --> 01:16:07.399 I like that.

If you missed 1564 01:18:32.840 --> 01:18:35.680 that interview that we had, like it's a chance to 1565 01:18:36.199 --> 01:18:38.680 catch up with Mike Gramajo and find out what's going 1566 01:18:38.720 --> 01:18:41.720 on with everything down there with the Purple team and 1567 01:18:41.720 --> 01:18:45.079 speaking of Fridays and having the garage door opener, we 1568 01:18:45.119 --> 01:18:48.880 bring in Bart Keeler. So yeah, as I mentioned the 1569 01:18:48.880 --> 01:18:51.439 garage door opener in the Hour Chaos, I'm like, yeah, 1570 01:18:51.479 --> 01:18:53.119 there's Bart, So what's on your mind? 1571 01:18:53.239 --> 01:18:55.520 Well, I commit bringing breaking news. 1572 01:18:55.319 --> 01:18:57.439 John, you've broken news. 1573 01:18:58.359 --> 01:19:01.439 I have not, but I am reporting from a report 1574 01:19:01.680 --> 01:19:05.520 that NWSL has submitted an application to US Soccer to 1575 01:19:05.600 --> 01:19:08.640 launch a Division two league starting in twenty twenty six, 1576 01:19:08.680 --> 01:19:11.760 which John, if you look at a calendar, is next year. Yeah, 1577 01:19:11.800 --> 01:19:15.399 next year. So this is really cool and I felt 1578 01:19:15.479 --> 01:19:17.800 like our people should hear about this because I'm sure 1579 01:19:17.800 --> 01:19:20.279 this will then also spark conversation of why don't they 1580 01:19:20.319 --> 01:19:23.079 have one in Atlanta, which I'm sure will be fun 1581 01:19:23.119 --> 01:19:24.079 to listen to. 1582 01:19:24.439 --> 01:19:40.199 Okay, so please, there you go. Now now it's officially official. 1583 01:19:40.359 --> 01:19:44.119 Yeah, it is. So eight existing NWSL clubs will field 1584 01:19:44.159 --> 01:19:48.239 affiliated team for its inaugural season, should the plans be 1585 01:19:48.239 --> 01:19:51.720 approved by us Soccer. Obviously, again, as we're learning with 1586 01:19:52.079 --> 01:19:55.359 USL on the men's side, you do have to submit plans, 1587 01:19:55.359 --> 01:19:58.119 but given that they are tied to the NWSL club 1588 01:19:58.159 --> 01:20:02.840 and stadium, all eight teams which are AFC Kansas City Current, 1589 01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:07.159 North Carolina Courage, New York, New Jersey, Gotham, Orlando Pride, 1590 01:20:07.199 --> 01:20:10.439 Raising Louisville and Seattle Rain, and the Washington Spirit, all 1591 01:20:10.640 --> 01:20:15.000 eight of those teams meet a super seed. By the way, 1592 01:20:15.359 --> 01:20:17.640 the Division two requirement on the women's side, which is 1593 01:20:17.680 --> 01:20:21.439 simply have six teams in your first year and need 1594 01:20:21.479 --> 01:20:24.439 to be at five hundred thousand plus metro area in 1595 01:20:24.479 --> 01:20:26.880 a two thousand plus stadium where all those teams meet. 1596 01:20:26.960 --> 01:20:31.840 That So John, this for everyone following along, this is 1597 01:20:31.960 --> 01:20:35.000 essentially going to be INWSL next pro. 1598 01:20:35.079 --> 01:20:37.960 Okay, go for it. 1599 01:20:39.000 --> 01:20:42.039 The goal is to have all of the sixteen NWSL 1600 01:20:42.079 --> 01:20:46.359 teams have an affiliated team in this league. They will 1601 01:20:46.359 --> 01:20:49.600 do a double round robin the first time around with 1602 01:20:49.720 --> 01:20:52.720 playoffs at the end. So this is I think a 1603 01:20:52.720 --> 01:20:56.560 good step for NWSL. But I think this is also 1604 01:20:56.600 --> 01:21:00.800 a great way to open up a second vision, a 1605 01:21:00.880 --> 01:21:04.119 second tier of player development in this country. We've seen 1606 01:21:04.880 --> 01:21:07.960 recently obviously with USL Super League trying to create another 1607 01:21:08.000 --> 01:21:13.720 Division one league, and then WPSL bringing a professional league 1608 01:21:13.760 --> 01:21:17.199 at the D two level as well. This is just 1609 01:21:17.239 --> 01:21:20.600 an evolving landscape for women's soccer that's pretty awesome. 1610 01:21:21.119 --> 01:21:24.239 According to the documents obtained by CBS Sports, the application 1611 01:21:24.399 --> 01:21:29.319 was filed on April one. Yeah file that dataway and 1612 01:21:30.399 --> 01:21:34.159 six page letters signed by NWSL Commissioner Jessica Berman submitted 1613 01:21:34.199 --> 01:21:36.960 to US Soccer CEO and Secretary General J. T. Batson. 1614 01:21:37.000 --> 01:21:40.279 In the letter, Berman likens the proposed Division two league 1615 01:21:40.279 --> 01:21:42.159 to the minor league baseball system, writing that it is 1616 01:21:42.239 --> 01:21:46.479 quote imperative that NWSL creates a robust pipeline for world 1617 01:21:46.560 --> 01:21:50.600 class athletes to fuel the explosive growth, meaning the existing 1618 01:21:50.720 --> 01:21:53.880 Division one explosive growth. D two once again described as 1619 01:21:53.880 --> 01:21:56.680 a transitional space between the college game and the professional game, 1620 01:21:57.039 --> 01:22:00.640 one where young players can experience the quote technical, tactical, 1621 01:22:00.720 --> 01:22:03.119 and mental demands say, I was trying to think of 1622 01:22:03.159 --> 01:22:04.840 a T word that would you would go right up 1623 01:22:04.880 --> 01:22:08.840 public speaking one oh one, so technical, tactical, and thought provoking. 1624 01:22:08.960 --> 01:22:12.600 Maybe top flight soccer demand. So once again you mentioned 1625 01:22:12.640 --> 01:22:15.720 the eight and playoffs at the end of the fourteen 1626 01:22:15.720 --> 01:22:18.159 game regular season. Number one, place four, two place three 1627 01:22:18.279 --> 01:22:21.359 winners get into a championship. League confirmed the proposal in 1628 01:22:21.399 --> 01:22:26.640 a following statement to CBS Sports several sentences long. But 1629 01:22:26.680 --> 01:22:29.720 they want to look forward to building a strong foundation 1630 01:22:29.800 --> 01:22:32.199 for future generations of players, officials, coaches, and sure the 1631 01:22:32.199 --> 01:22:36.039 continued advancement of the women's game. And so you mentioned 1632 01:22:36.079 --> 01:22:39.439 the capacities that are there. All Division one teams expected 1633 01:22:39.439 --> 01:22:42.319 to form an affiliated second tier within the first four years, 1634 01:22:42.920 --> 01:22:45.000 a point in which the NWSL will have at least 1635 01:22:45.039 --> 01:22:48.079 sixteen expansion teams in Boston and Denver having their inaugural 1636 01:22:48.159 --> 01:22:52.560 seasons next year. Teams unaffiliated with the NWSL also be welcome. 1637 01:22:52.640 --> 01:22:55.800 And as you mentioned, so this would be NWSL Next Pro, 1638 01:22:56.479 --> 01:23:01.079 where we have in MLS Next Pro, the Carolina Cores, 1639 01:23:01.119 --> 01:23:03.760 you have the Chattanooga FC's, you have those, And that 1640 01:23:03.880 --> 01:23:06.800 is what they encouraged from the beginning, is that MLS 1641 01:23:06.800 --> 01:23:09.520 Next pro wanted to have in addition to the Major 1642 01:23:09.600 --> 01:23:13.359 League Soccer franchises, they wanted to have the independent ownership 1643 01:23:13.399 --> 01:23:16.119 groups to have franchises to the grid. And that's what 1644 01:23:16.159 --> 01:23:19.159 you've gotten so far. So the NWSL following in those footsteps. 1645 01:23:19.319 --> 01:23:22.119 Yeah, again, this makes a lot of sense for a 1646 01:23:22.159 --> 01:23:24.319 couple of reasons, John, and I'll but then I'll explain 1647 01:23:24.359 --> 01:23:26.039 why this doesn't make sense for another reason. 1648 01:23:26.119 --> 01:23:28.000 So there's a lot of sense other than the fact 1649 01:23:28.000 --> 01:23:28.600 it's next year. 1650 01:23:29.000 --> 01:23:31.239 Well, I don't think that's the issue, John, when you 1651 01:23:31.239 --> 01:23:34.000 look at the fact that this is these are existing 1652 01:23:34.039 --> 01:23:37.319 teams with stadiums that exist. You know, we're not We're 1653 01:23:37.319 --> 01:23:40.399 not building something really new. It's just about filling a roster. 1654 01:23:40.560 --> 01:23:43.359 And as I have said plenty of times, there's a 1655 01:23:43.439 --> 01:23:46.680 lot of women's professional soccer talent in this country. 1656 01:23:46.880 --> 01:23:47.119 Right. 1657 01:23:47.239 --> 01:23:50.239 But so from that say, it makes sense, right, there's 1658 01:23:50.439 --> 01:23:54.520 there are people out there who want a shot, a 1659 01:23:54.600 --> 01:23:58.239 legitimate shot, and deserve a legitimate shot at proving they 1660 01:23:58.239 --> 01:24:03.680 can be perfect level and nw with cel level quality players, 1661 01:24:04.000 --> 01:24:07.079 if that makes sense. Second reason this makes a lot 1662 01:24:07.079 --> 01:24:09.439 of sense is we have seen, especially this year, a 1663 01:24:09.439 --> 01:24:12.560 lot of chatter and obviously this goes back to what 1664 01:24:12.840 --> 01:24:15.119 three years ago with Olivia Multie with a lot of 1665 01:24:15.159 --> 01:24:21.039 teenagers who are good enough to play professionally needing to 1666 01:24:21.079 --> 01:24:24.359 come to NWSL because they have just outgrown where they 1667 01:24:24.359 --> 01:24:28.319 are currently and John, we see this in MLS Next 1668 01:24:28.359 --> 01:24:31.279 Pro where there are a lot of teenagers who are 1669 01:24:31.600 --> 01:24:35.960 out of the academy level. You know what I'm saying, 1670 01:24:36.159 --> 01:24:40.399 they are better than that, they're not truly MLS ready, 1671 01:24:40.399 --> 01:24:42.359 and I think we're seeing that as well with NWSL, 1672 01:24:42.399 --> 01:24:47.279 where a lot of these players are brought up because well, 1673 01:24:47.680 --> 01:24:50.199 she's good enough to be a professional, but maybe not 1674 01:24:50.279 --> 01:24:54.239 full time. And the other reason is, well, craft we 1675 01:24:54.279 --> 01:24:55.720 need to bring up a player because we've got a 1676 01:24:55.760 --> 01:25:00.359 lot of injuries, and this reserve team essentially does provide 1677 01:25:00.399 --> 01:25:02.560 them that. We obviously have seen that a few times 1678 01:25:02.560 --> 01:25:07.399 with Atlanta United this year. Where it doesn't make sense 1679 01:25:08.279 --> 01:25:11.520 is that NWSL teams do not have the academy structure 1680 01:25:11.960 --> 01:25:14.520 that MLS and a lot of other professional leagues do. 1681 01:25:14.720 --> 01:25:17.840 So obviously in the Premier League you have you know, 1682 01:25:18.119 --> 01:25:21.239 your professional Premier League clubs, and then they have the 1683 01:25:21.319 --> 01:25:24.279 U twenty one league that you know acts basically as 1684 01:25:24.319 --> 01:25:27.520 a reserve league, but also kind of the for lack 1685 01:25:27.560 --> 01:25:29.880 of a better term, minor league where you send a 1686 01:25:29.920 --> 01:25:33.680 recovering star on there to make a recovery start. 1687 01:25:33.800 --> 01:25:34.000 Right. 1688 01:25:34.239 --> 01:25:38.399 Yeah, So I think this is a strategic move from 1689 01:25:38.520 --> 01:25:42.560 NWSL to provide clubs with a great way to kind 1690 01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:45.560 of build out their roster without having to build out 1691 01:25:45.600 --> 01:25:48.640 their roster. They're just doing it on a whole separate place. 1692 01:25:49.800 --> 01:25:52.520 But I'm curious what this means for the league and 1693 01:25:52.560 --> 01:25:56.239 if this was truly a response to the WPSL pro move. 1694 01:25:56.399 --> 01:26:00.720 I don't think it was one, because WPSL no offense 1695 01:26:00.720 --> 01:26:06.000 to Cherokee. It's a perfectly acceptable county that's not a 1696 01:26:06.039 --> 01:26:09.720 big market, if you will, for a soccer team, that's 1697 01:26:09.760 --> 01:26:15.039 not even to the extent of Rome or Gainesville or 1698 01:26:15.079 --> 01:26:18.039 any or even Peachtree City. Again, no offense tove Cherokee. 1699 01:26:18.079 --> 01:26:20.319 I'm not I'm not telling y'all, y'all don't matter. But 1700 01:26:21.239 --> 01:26:23.520 that's not the market that you would expect for a 1701 01:26:23.560 --> 01:26:26.760 truly professional team. So for NWSL to be looking at 1702 01:26:26.840 --> 01:26:33.159 just creating second teams for their existing markets, I guess 1703 01:26:33.159 --> 01:26:36.439 it gives a little bit more legitimacy to the club 1704 01:26:36.520 --> 01:26:39.159 that they're going to be running and Hopefully they think 1705 01:26:39.199 --> 01:26:41.199 that that means they'll get more people come try out 1706 01:26:41.239 --> 01:26:44.520 who and their minds are more worthy of a full 1707 01:26:44.560 --> 01:26:45.840 professional contract. 1708 01:26:46.239 --> 01:26:50.720 Right uh. WPSL for those that may not have recalled, 1709 01:26:51.199 --> 01:26:54.640 not there is no Division two Women's League. WPSL pro 1710 01:26:54.720 --> 01:26:57.479 announced the plans just last week to launch D two. 1711 01:26:57.560 --> 01:26:59.800 They were initially going to be D three, but then 1712 01:26:59.800 --> 01:27:02.399 there launching is D two. You have to have a 1713 01:27:02.840 --> 01:27:06.520 seven figure commitment on the books when you present your 1714 01:27:06.520 --> 01:27:09.920 proposal to the WFL, and Georgia Impact is doing exactly 1715 01:27:09.960 --> 01:27:14.239 that up in Cherokee County and Cleveland, I believe Cleveland Soccer, 1716 01:27:14.279 --> 01:27:17.880 Cleveland Soccer group they were chasing after an NWSL group. 1717 01:27:18.960 --> 01:27:24.079 They did not get it the NWSL approval, and so 1718 01:27:24.199 --> 01:27:26.720 then they went to the WPSL route. And so that's 1719 01:27:26.760 --> 01:27:30.079 where they're trying to build their soccer specific stadium and 1720 01:27:30.119 --> 01:27:33.840 come online as a league starting in twenty twenty six, 1721 01:27:33.960 --> 01:27:37.399 awaiting sanctioning from US Soccer. Once again, they would be 1722 01:27:37.479 --> 01:27:40.079 Division two if both get the all clear, and so 1723 01:27:40.239 --> 01:27:43.560 you would have multiple you'd have multiple leagues with the 1724 01:27:43.600 --> 01:27:46.159 same divisional layout. And so we'll see what happens here 1725 01:27:46.159 --> 01:27:47.960 as everything starts to head toward twenty six. 1726 01:27:48.279 --> 01:27:51.840 It's also somewhat of an understanding of the landscape. Or 1727 01:27:52.000 --> 01:27:54.199 you look at the USL Super League, which I do 1728 01:27:54.279 --> 01:27:57.600 not think is rivaling INWSL in any way right now, 1729 01:27:57.640 --> 01:28:01.039 but they do also have the USL League, which is 1730 01:28:01.199 --> 01:28:04.520 somewhat of their minor league. It's pre professional Division III level. 1731 01:28:06.279 --> 01:28:09.520 The number one takeaway John love the fact that we 1732 01:28:09.560 --> 01:28:14.680 are getting more division to women's soccer. Obviously we had 1733 01:28:14.800 --> 01:28:17.960 zero coming into this year and now we've added quite 1734 01:28:17.960 --> 01:28:20.199 a bit. And I think that alone is great for 1735 01:28:20.239 --> 01:28:24.479 the women's soccer professional period pyramid here in this country, 1736 01:28:24.520 --> 01:28:28.399 because that is something that I think when you're looking 1737 01:28:28.399 --> 01:28:31.760 at building the health of your professional leagues, you need 1738 01:28:31.840 --> 01:28:34.520 to have something below them where people can come and 1739 01:28:34.920 --> 01:28:37.800 either just play because they want to play, or possibly 1740 01:28:37.880 --> 01:28:40.039 prove that they belong in the first division. 1741 01:28:40.600 --> 01:28:43.600 All right, So it is the last half hour, and 1742 01:28:43.680 --> 01:28:45.479 so that means that we go into weekend, whip around 1743 01:28:45.479 --> 01:28:47.960 pat and pending trademark coming sooner hopefully rather than later, 1744 01:28:48.640 --> 01:28:50.960 and we run through all of the other matchups and 1745 01:28:51.000 --> 01:28:53.359 as folks come in in the hour of chaos, we 1746 01:28:53.439 --> 01:28:56.520 discuss what is on everybody's mind. Yes, we know Atlanta 1747 01:28:56.600 --> 01:28:58.359 is taking on the Purple team. We traditionally try to 1748 01:28:58.399 --> 01:29:00.600 save that one for the last all your. 1749 01:29:00.439 --> 01:29:02.920 Favorite Orlando Purple Team moment. 1750 01:29:03.000 --> 01:29:06.239 John got to ask you, I think it's got to 1751 01:29:06.239 --> 01:29:07.239 be Bendi face, doesn't it. 1752 01:29:07.920 --> 01:29:10.920 Okay, Yeah, that makes sense. 1753 01:29:11.199 --> 01:29:12.680 I think I think it has to be. Oh, by 1754 01:29:12.720 --> 01:29:16.159 the way, uh MLS assignments match day ten. Going back 1755 01:29:16.159 --> 01:29:19.399 to our conversation that we had with UH with Mark 1756 01:29:19.439 --> 01:29:22.560 Geiger and UH, once again, I can't thank our friends 1757 01:29:22.560 --> 01:29:25.880 at PRO for dialing us up with that particular Q 1758 01:29:26.000 --> 01:29:28.560 and A session. There was one question that I left 1759 01:29:28.600 --> 01:29:31.560 on the table that I will ask them next time, 1760 01:29:32.439 --> 01:29:36.479 so UH, and that question is when PRO is called 1761 01:29:36.520 --> 01:29:39.920 to the principal's office, who is the principal? That's what 1762 01:29:39.960 --> 01:29:42.800 I want to know. So if if there are issues 1763 01:29:42.840 --> 01:29:46.560 that a higher power feels need to be addressed with PRO, 1764 01:29:46.680 --> 01:29:49.439 who is the principle and the principal's office, That's what 1765 01:29:49.479 --> 01:29:52.560 I want to know. Who are they accountable to going up? 1766 01:29:52.680 --> 01:29:53.560 That's what I want to know. 1767 01:29:53.720 --> 01:29:57.199 It's a great question because again that that breakdown is 1768 01:29:57.239 --> 01:30:02.319 you have prs A. Yes, Sorry to make sure I 1769 01:30:02.319 --> 01:30:07.000 got that acronym right, professional reference p s R A 1770 01:30:07.039 --> 01:30:08.760 professional Soccer Referee Association. 1771 01:30:08.800 --> 01:30:09.119 There we go. 1772 01:30:09.800 --> 01:30:13.479 P R s A is Public Relation Society. Yes, uh, 1773 01:30:14.000 --> 01:30:18.439 that's the that's the I know. Uh anyway, p s 1774 01:30:18.560 --> 01:30:23.399 A R is the union, right and then PRO is 1775 01:30:23.439 --> 01:30:27.560 the assigning body, and so they work together, but they're 1776 01:30:27.600 --> 01:30:31.680 not the same function, right And yeah, that's a great question. 1777 01:30:32.119 --> 01:30:36.279 PSR is there to benefit the officials that are engaged 1778 01:30:36.319 --> 01:30:41.079 in PRO and propctivities. So who is so like when 1779 01:30:41.119 --> 01:30:43.640 people are mad at PRO, who's where do they go 1780 01:30:43.680 --> 01:30:44.760 for the principal. 1781 01:30:44.640 --> 01:30:47.640 I would imagine it's MLS owners, to be quite honest, 1782 01:30:48.319 --> 01:30:50.560 at least, that would be what I would imagine is 1783 01:30:50.600 --> 01:30:54.439 that that that's the reviewing processes. You know, maybe not 1784 01:30:54.520 --> 01:30:56.880 owners specifically, but you know what I mean. The MLS 1785 01:30:56.960 --> 01:30:58.560 is competition people. 1786 01:30:58.600 --> 01:31:01.439 The alternate, the alternate governor or whoever gets uh doctor 1787 01:31:01.560 --> 01:31:04.680 bust into sitting into the zoom call.

Any of those assignments stick out to 1842 01:34:23.319 --> 01:34:26.039 you for imbalance or advantage? 1843 01:34:27.039 --> 01:34:30.279 Uh, well, I will say I think giving Chris Penzo 1844 01:34:30.399 --> 01:34:33.920 the Dynamo Austin match is a little bit interesting only 1845 01:34:33.920 --> 01:34:35.960 because no offense to Chris. But I would have expected 1846 01:34:37.079 --> 01:34:45.119 someone a little bit more navigable, yeah, to get a 1847 01:34:45.239 --> 01:34:49.000 rivalry match like that. Uh huh So, honestly, like, I 1848 01:34:49.239 --> 01:34:53.520 feel like duych would have been a good assignment for 1849 01:34:53.600 --> 01:34:55.800 that one, just because he does call a lot of 1850 01:34:55.840 --> 01:34:58.119 fouls and that's what you need in a game that's 1851 01:34:58.119 --> 01:35:00.920 going to probably lead to people being very stupid, but 1852 01:35:01.239 --> 01:35:04.239 we'll see. I mean, Penzil is obviously a very experienced referee, 1853 01:35:04.239 --> 01:35:06.199 but yeah, a little bit interesting. I mean there are 1854 01:35:06.199 --> 01:35:11.399 some there are some assignments that Rubio Vazquaz with Philly 1855 01:35:11.680 --> 01:35:15.560 and then Weedo Gonzales Junior with Cruz San Jose. I 1856 01:35:15.600 --> 01:35:18.920 know that probably make more sense maybe from standings, but 1857 01:35:19.000 --> 01:35:21.279 I just feel like, you know, you got an actual 1858 01:35:21.399 --> 01:35:25.640 rivalry match in Copetejas even put someone a little bit 1859 01:35:25.640 --> 01:35:31.159 more navigable reading the room. Yeah, you having someone who 1860 01:35:31.199 --> 01:35:33.239 can read the room not stuck in their ways. 1861 01:35:33.479 --> 01:35:35.920 Yes, Jared's now joining us here as we go through 1862 01:35:35.960 --> 01:35:38.760 weekend whip around and our juice boxes. Jarrett, your timing 1863 01:35:38.800 --> 01:35:45.520 is impeccable. Okay, two thirty FC Cincinnati and Sporting FC 1864 01:35:45.600 --> 01:35:48.119 Cincinnati is a minus one sixty one, Sporting a plus 1865 01:35:48.159 --> 01:35:49.800 four h seven. Do I need to go any further? 1866 01:35:51.680 --> 01:35:53.039 I don't know if you need to go further, But 1867 01:35:53.479 --> 01:35:55.720 like Sporting has been getting the dead cat bounce out 1868 01:35:55.720 --> 01:35:59.560 of this yeah, and played a drunk ass game last week, 1869 01:36:00.680 --> 01:36:03.960 Cincinnati's just kind of still waiting for the engine to 1870 01:36:03.960 --> 01:36:07.640 turn over offensively. But what they're doing differently than some 1871 01:36:07.880 --> 01:36:09.960 clubs that we will not name is that they are 1872 01:36:10.039 --> 01:36:12.920 keeping the ball out of the net consistently. Yes, which 1873 01:36:12.960 --> 01:36:14.800 is ironic because when they played that club we will 1874 01:36:14.800 --> 01:36:17.479 not talk about right now, they gave up two goals 1875 01:36:17.479 --> 01:36:20.319 in the process. But they've been very good at keeping 1876 01:36:20.520 --> 01:36:22.520 teams out of the net and keeping that big zero 1877 01:36:22.560 --> 01:36:24.239 on the board, which, hey man, a lot of people 1878 01:36:24.279 --> 01:36:26.239 got pissed when Frank the board wanted to play that way. 1879 01:36:26.680 --> 01:36:28.199 Bet y'all missed that shit now, don't you. 1880 01:36:28.479 --> 01:36:30.920 There's the E rating for the day out. A boy, 1881 01:36:31.079 --> 01:36:33.039 he's in here for like three minutes, ready to go? 1882 01:36:33.119 --> 01:36:35.439 All right, So bart de FC Cincinnati Sporting. 1883 01:36:39.399 --> 01:36:43.359 You know what, I'm just glad that Sporting continues to exist, 1884 01:36:43.439 --> 01:36:47.279 and I'm proud of them for continuing that. 1885 01:36:47.560 --> 01:36:49.560 It sounds like a truck on them for actually getting 1886 01:36:49.640 --> 01:36:51.600 rid of their manager when a year and. 1887 01:36:51.600 --> 01:36:52.079 A half ago. 1888 01:36:52.359 --> 01:36:57.119 Yeah, you know, I think Sporting is I'm sad we 1889 01:36:57.159 --> 01:36:58.880 don't have them on the schedule this year. Let's just 1890 01:36:58.880 --> 01:36:59.479 put it that way. 1891 01:37:00.279 --> 01:37:01.680 I'm jod nervous about it now. 1892 01:37:02.399 --> 01:37:05.720 Well, yeah, that's true. But since he since he's also 1893 01:37:05.800 --> 01:37:08.760 one of those teams that, when you look at the 1894 01:37:08.880 --> 01:37:13.479 league overall, somehow feel like they're underperforming but aren't, if 1895 01:37:13.479 --> 01:37:14.560 that makes any sense. 1896 01:37:14.640 --> 01:37:16.359 Yeah, maybe that doesn't. 1897 01:37:16.079 --> 01:37:18.039 Click at Charlotte's on top, and I didn't expect that. 1898 01:37:18.119 --> 01:37:23.039 But yeah, I'm still like, man, I've been I've been 1899 01:37:23.039 --> 01:37:24.560 trying to I'm still trying to be careful about how 1900 01:37:24.560 --> 01:37:26.840 I talk about Charlotte because I am impressed with them 1901 01:37:27.199 --> 01:37:33.079 on one hand, and kind of like Minnesota, I don't 1902 01:37:33.199 --> 01:37:37.119 know if it works in the playoffs, pet bl might 1903 01:37:37.119 --> 01:37:41.760 be your front runner for MVP, and he deserves his flowers. 1904 01:37:42.439 --> 01:37:44.479 They god forbid they go on the road though in 1905 01:37:44.520 --> 01:37:48.319 the playoffs, because they've been horrendous on the road this year. 1906 01:37:48.640 --> 01:37:53.319 They've been outstanding at home. Yeah, they've also played a 1907 01:37:53.359 --> 01:37:56.479 lot of games where they have not looked like the 1908 01:37:56.520 --> 01:37:59.760 better team except for like a ten minute stretch. 1909 01:38:00.399 --> 01:38:01.439 Mm hmmm mmmm. 1910 01:38:02.479 --> 01:38:04.680 So it's not wrong. Yeah, so you guys are saying, 1911 01:38:04.800 --> 01:38:06.720 so Bart staring at the draw out of plus three 1912 01:38:06.760 --> 01:38:08.319 oh nine, I think is what he's staring at. 1913 01:38:09.199 --> 01:38:14.359 Honestly, Yes, but since these problems, I don't They just 1914 01:38:14.439 --> 01:38:17.079 don't score enough slash create enough chances. That's been their 1915 01:38:17.079 --> 01:38:19.680 biggest kind of issue. And so if you're playing a 1916 01:38:19.720 --> 01:38:24.279 team like Sporting that is climbing out of a hole, 1917 01:38:24.520 --> 01:38:27.079 if that's the way you want to put it, I 1918 01:38:27.159 --> 01:38:30.359 don't know. I would put my money on sincey yes, 1919 01:38:31.119 --> 01:38:33.960 I would put the I would put the whoppers Robin 1920 01:38:34.000 --> 01:38:36.960 Eggs on since since we yes. 1921 01:38:38.359 --> 01:38:41.960 Go through there you go you want, you want a 1922 01:38:42.079 --> 01:38:44.319 player who would have been a fun pick up at 1923 01:38:44.399 --> 01:38:47.920 the deadline for a team if if if Kansas City 1924 01:38:48.000 --> 01:38:51.239 had stayed dead, they've kind of crawled. They've they've pushed 1925 01:38:51.279 --> 01:38:52.920 the hand out of the grave. Now it's a matter 1926 01:38:53.199 --> 01:38:54.960 they take themselves out and they get pushed back down. 1927 01:38:57.039 --> 01:38:59.079 Daniel Shallowe would have been a very fun pick up 1928 01:38:59.079 --> 01:39:00.520 for a lot of teams to clear in Atlanta. 1929 01:39:02.159 --> 01:39:05.840 Wow, Daniel to actually make a move that benefited the team. 1930 01:39:05.960 --> 01:39:07.840 But yeah, not just Atlanta. 1931 01:39:07.840 --> 01:39:09.520 A lot of teams could have used Daniel Shallowy. This 1932 01:39:09.640 --> 01:39:11.640 isn't just like an Atlanta thing. This is like a 1933 01:39:11.840 --> 01:39:16.079 Daniel Shallowie has just been like a steady little source 1934 01:39:16.319 --> 01:39:18.800 of productivity on left wing for them. 1935 01:39:18.720 --> 01:39:19.279 For a while. 1936 01:39:19.800 --> 01:39:23.239 Yeah, including their bad years, he's been pretty Yeah. 1937 01:39:23.600 --> 01:39:26.479 Yeah, he's not putting up. He's not always gonna put 1938 01:39:26.520 --> 01:39:28.520 up double digit goals and assists, but he just goes 1939 01:39:28.560 --> 01:39:32.159 out there and produces. Speaking of fort of former Kansas 1940 01:39:32.159 --> 01:39:35.039 City players, though Johnny Russell is going to RSL. 1941 01:39:34.960 --> 01:39:38.199 Yeah, I'd have taken him. 1942 01:39:38.880 --> 01:39:41.920 Yeah, you Perna the reason Johnny Russell's a bit of 1943 01:39:41.920 --> 01:39:43.760 a ship kicker.

I still don't know if Robin Fraser 1951 01:40:07.720 --> 01:40:11.399 is a great manager. And again I've said this every week. 1952 01:40:11.479 --> 01:40:13.439 I'll continue to say it. We won't know if he's 1953 01:40:13.439 --> 01:40:16.000 a great manager because he managing Toronto or Toronto's kind 1954 01:40:16.000 --> 01:40:16.359 of a mess. 1955 01:40:17.199 --> 01:40:18.000 Yes, it's true. 1956 01:40:18.920 --> 01:40:23.000 Apparently very apparently falls. I think he's I genuinely think 1957 01:40:23.000 --> 01:40:26.560 he's going to fall into the Chris Armis category, which 1958 01:40:26.600 --> 01:40:28.560 is I don't know that I've ever heard anyone have 1959 01:40:28.600 --> 01:40:30.600 a crossroad to say about Chris Armis, Like he's very 1960 01:40:30.640 --> 01:40:33.800 well thought of as a person. Yeah, no one really 1961 01:40:33.880 --> 01:40:36.640 knew how good of a manager he was because when 1962 01:40:36.680 --> 01:40:38.920 Toronto brought him in, that roster wasn't built to play style. 1963 01:40:39.399 --> 01:40:42.720 And now he's flourishing in Colorado. God bless him. I'm 1964 01:40:42.800 --> 01:40:44.199 in Fraser seems like a very good guy. 1965 01:40:45.000 --> 01:40:45.960 I don't know how good he is. 1966 01:40:48.119 --> 01:40:51.439 Red fuls Jared minus one twenty hosting CF Montreal to 1967 01:40:51.479 --> 01:40:52.560 plus three fifty three. 1968 01:40:54.479 --> 01:40:56.600 Redble hitting perfect by any means, like they've had some 1969 01:40:56.720 --> 01:40:58.279 really dirty performances. 1970 01:40:58.439 --> 01:40:59.199 Yes, they have dirt. 1971 01:41:00.399 --> 01:41:03.520 I'd like to know the money line for Montreal to score. 1972 01:41:04.479 --> 01:41:07.760 Yeah, there you go, Well that would be I would 1973 01:41:07.800 --> 01:41:08.079 take the. 1974 01:41:08.119 --> 01:41:11.960 Over under a Montreal one a point five and go 1975 01:41:12.199 --> 01:41:13.039 under even you know. 1976 01:41:15.479 --> 01:41:18.399 All right, so your your your numbers. 1977 01:41:18.479 --> 01:41:21.680 By the way, John can't pull this right now. 1978 01:41:22.079 --> 01:41:24.319 Yeah, I mean it's it's I'm sitting here and looking 1979 01:41:24.359 --> 01:41:27.479 at like match facts and things like that and head 1980 01:41:27.520 --> 01:41:29.359 to head and all that kind of stuff.

Remember the goals you gave up 2068 01:45:40.359 --> 01:45:44.880 in that game were freaking Galazzo by DC and then 2069 01:45:45.000 --> 01:45:47.359 Josh Cohen rolling the ball to d C. 2070 01:45:50.680 --> 01:45:52.760 Yeah, and then you match Spentech. 2071 01:45:52.920 --> 01:45:55.239 Morales beat him with a tire iron for ninety minutes, 2072 01:45:55.239 --> 01:45:57.119 which is how you have to play him. Yeah, you do, 2073 01:45:57.279 --> 01:45:59.800 because he's such a physical presence with such an immense 2074 01:46:00.319 --> 01:46:01.119 control and position. 2075 01:46:01.560 --> 01:46:03.960 Yeah.

He's a great player. 2080 01:46:15.479 --> 01:46:17.760 This is me saying Charlotte has been doing all this 2081 01:46:17.880 --> 01:46:21.840 called wolfrid. Zaha not really doing what I think they expected, 2082 01:46:21.880 --> 01:46:24.159 what everyone expected of him, Like he scored that goal 2083 01:46:24.159 --> 01:46:27.399 against Atlanta on like basically a putback and everyone at 2084 01:46:27.520 --> 01:46:31.680 MLS Digital lost their ever loving minds and tried to 2085 01:46:31.920 --> 01:46:36.439 like coordinate him that day. Hasn't really he's produced. I 2086 01:46:36.479 --> 01:46:38.199 think he's been very good off the ball with his 2087 01:46:38.279 --> 01:46:41.159 gravity and his movement. He's gonna draw fouls and get 2088 01:46:41.159 --> 01:46:46.239 you in good positions, but he hasn't carried them. Honestly, 2089 01:46:46.319 --> 01:46:48.279 It kind of makes them scary in that regard. I'm 2090 01:46:48.359 --> 01:46:50.079 still a little nervous because I need them to go 2091 01:46:50.199 --> 01:46:53.800 show me something on the road. But that's a me problem. 2092 01:46:54.119 --> 01:46:57.600 Yes, all right, So we got to get through nine 2093 01:46:57.640 --> 01:47:01.039 other matches before we talk about Atlanta in the Purple team, Okay, Bart, 2094 01:47:01.239 --> 01:47:05.159 crew in the earthquakes creuse a minus two awake quakes or. 2095 01:47:05.279 --> 01:47:09.479 Yeah, I would San Jose's good.

Right, 2115 01:48:09.640 --> 01:48:11.920 Oh my god, the inevitability is just gonna crush me. 2116 01:48:12.319 --> 01:48:16.520 Yep, so Jared San Diego FC hosting RSL to minus 2117 01:48:16.560 --> 01:48:19.039 one thirty five Bart. 2118 01:48:21.039 --> 01:48:24.000 Yeah, and RSL was without Diego Luna, So why even 2119 01:48:24.000 --> 01:48:24.319 watching them? 2120 01:48:24.479 --> 01:48:27.680 Well, they were scinded the red Oh that's right, because 2121 01:48:27.840 --> 01:48:32.159 Pro screwed up because it was incondubious that he got 2122 01:48:32.199 --> 01:48:34.279 it in the beginning with I think he was again, 2123 01:48:34.520 --> 01:48:37.479 both of those guys should have got a card, right, 2124 01:48:37.560 --> 01:48:39.800 card was upheld because apparently couldn't find an angle that 2125 01:48:39.960 --> 01:48:40.479 didn't show. 2126 01:48:40.600 --> 01:48:40.960 I don't know. 2127 01:48:41.319 --> 01:48:43.359 Still san Diego at home, Yeah, they've proven to be 2128 01:48:43.359 --> 01:48:43.800 pretty good. 2129 01:48:44.159 --> 01:48:47.279 Uh, Copete has Bart Houston a plus one ten hosting 2130 01:48:47.319 --> 01:48:48.720 Austin at A plus two fifty. 2131 01:48:49.239 --> 01:48:54.479 I weirdly am gonna take Austin. I would put my 2132 01:48:54.560 --> 01:48:59.920 full money on Austin. Houston is still I don't like 2133 01:49:00.159 --> 01:49:03.880 talk about it. Disappointed they Yeah, I'm gonna make this statement. 2134 01:49:03.920 --> 01:49:06.920 I think Houston is way more disappointing this year than Atlanta. 2135 01:49:07.720 --> 01:49:12.640 Because Houston had a good last year, like actually good, 2136 01:49:12.880 --> 01:49:17.720 showed improvement, did things. Now, there are some transfers that 2137 01:49:17.760 --> 01:49:22.239 they made or that happened that maybe dropped their floor 2138 01:49:22.439 --> 01:49:24.159 a lot. But I think a lot of people are 2139 01:49:24.159 --> 01:49:27.279 expecting Houston to be where Austin is in the table 2140 01:49:27.640 --> 01:49:30.119 and they're not. So I'm putting I would put my 2141 01:49:30.159 --> 01:49:31.960 full money on Austin. 2142 01:49:32.600 --> 01:49:39.159 Jared, I don't believe in either one of these teams. 2143 01:49:39.239 --> 01:49:40.720 I guess I believe in Austin a little. 2144 01:49:40.479 --> 01:49:46.399 Bit more, believe in Houston a little bit less. 2145 01:49:46.479 --> 01:49:49.439 I do believe in and Brad Stuver, and I do 2146 01:49:49.600 --> 01:49:51.600 think that is one of those things where I think 2147 01:49:51.680 --> 01:49:55.039 he he and there are a couple of goalkeepers in 2148 01:49:55.119 --> 01:49:57.840 this league who actively make their team better, and Stuver 2149 01:49:58.039 --> 01:50:01.119 is one of those. The only reason Charlotte is as 2150 01:50:01.119 --> 01:50:04.319 good as they are is because Christian Collina the Atlanta 2151 01:50:04.319 --> 01:50:04.880 in the first. 2152 01:50:04.720 --> 01:50:09.479 Half, Christian Kalina consisted like the day Christian Klina starts 2153 01:50:09.520 --> 01:50:11.840 to slip is the day it's dark and Charlotte real. 2154 01:50:11.800 --> 01:50:15.239 Quick, listen, Charlotte, you'rreven goals against on the season, right, 2155 01:50:15.399 --> 01:50:19.279 you know what they're expected goals against us thirteen point one. 2156 01:50:19.960 --> 01:50:25.079 Yeah, he's a stick the goal difference. Yeah, he's been 2157 01:50:25.119 --> 01:50:29.319 a muted for years. Like that's just that's just what 2158 01:50:29.520 --> 01:50:30.119 he's been. 2159 01:50:30.479 --> 01:50:33.239 He has become the new Andre Blake. Not that Andrea 2160 01:50:33.279 --> 01:50:35.319 Blake is bad, but Andre Blake was the dude who 2161 01:50:35.439 --> 01:50:37.800 was the reason a lot of times Philly wasn't given 2162 01:50:37.920 --> 01:50:39.800 up all the goals they probably should have been given up. 2163 01:50:40.399 --> 01:50:44.439 Christian, we've taken that this and see what you're getting into. 2164 01:50:44.560 --> 01:50:45.520 Bart is. 2165 01:50:45.640 --> 01:50:48.479 One of my things that makes me nervous about Charlotte 2166 01:50:48.640 --> 01:50:52.000 is that they play more defensive, They sit more and 2167 01:50:52.039 --> 01:50:52.720 they'll play you on the. 2168 01:50:52.720 --> 01:50:56.239 Counters m They still give them a lot of chances. 2169 01:50:56.560 --> 01:51:00.239 Yes, that they play defensive, but they're still giving up chances. Now, 2170 01:51:01.319 --> 01:51:03.079 you can talk whatever trash you want when you know 2171 01:51:03.199 --> 01:51:07.680 Christian Cleana as you should is in my opinion, because 2172 01:51:07.680 --> 01:51:09.840 if we had Christian Kleina, I would be letting everyone 2173 01:51:09.880 --> 01:51:11.760 in their mother know. That's how I would introduce myself 2174 01:51:11.760 --> 01:51:14.399 on the phone. Yeah, live in the city where Christian 2175 01:51:14.439 --> 01:51:17.760 Kleina is saving everything under the sun. But if he's 2176 01:51:17.800 --> 01:51:21.000 not saving everything under the sun, it gets weird. It's 2177 01:51:21.119 --> 01:51:25.000 really weird. Brett Stuver is going to end up in 2178 01:51:25.159 --> 01:51:29.239 basically whatever this soccer goalkeeper equivalent to PTSD treatment is. Though, 2179 01:51:29.399 --> 01:51:32.520 Like you know those soldiers in World War One who 2180 01:51:32.600 --> 01:51:36.720 were like at the Psalm or at Vert Dunn where 2181 01:51:36.800 --> 01:51:38.680 they were just getting shelled for months on end, Like 2182 01:51:38.760 --> 01:51:40.520 it's just the sound of shells hitting the ground for 2183 01:51:40.640 --> 01:51:42.960 months on in and it was a constant day and night. 2184 01:51:43.439 --> 01:51:45.760 That's gonna be Brad Steuver because he's been in a 2185 01:51:45.920 --> 01:51:51.359 firing range since Austin started. Like he's like leading the 2186 01:51:51.560 --> 01:51:55.359 known universe and saves every year. He has to, though, 2187 01:51:55.600 --> 01:51:57.560 because they're going to get forward, and they can give 2188 01:51:57.600 --> 01:51:59.399 them a chance of even when they don't get forward. 2189 01:52:00.119 --> 01:52:03.359 Lesson for it. But like I want one day for 2190 01:52:03.479 --> 01:52:05.560 Brad Stubt and not have to do something because I 2191 01:52:05.680 --> 01:52:08.439 feel like he should be able to do the thanos 2192 01:52:08.520 --> 01:52:10.640 and look out on the grateful universe. 2193 01:52:10.319 --> 01:52:13.600 And rest mm hm, this might be a good year 2194 01:52:13.640 --> 01:52:17.840 for it. Who knows Austin is doing things. So I again, 2195 01:52:18.239 --> 01:52:20.640 my money's on Austin because I have more players there 2196 01:52:20.680 --> 01:52:22.359 than I believe can be good. 2197 01:52:22.960 --> 01:52:25.439 I'm with you that I'm disappointed with Houston'm disappointed with 2198 01:52:25.479 --> 01:52:27.520 all of Texas. I thought Dallas would click better, and 2199 01:52:27.600 --> 01:52:30.000 a lot of that as Peter Mussa being great and 2200 01:52:30.159 --> 01:52:33.439 Lucho Costa is not really clicking yet. I thought Dallas 2201 01:52:33.439 --> 01:52:34.439 would be better than they are too. 2202 01:52:35.239 --> 01:52:38.279 Nashville and Chicago Jared Nashville to minus one eleven, Chicago 2203 01:52:38.359 --> 01:52:39.399 north of plus three hundred. 2204 01:52:39.760 --> 01:52:40.199 I am. 2205 01:52:41.680 --> 01:52:46.560 I believe in three g I believe once again that 2206 01:52:47.000 --> 01:52:51.119 Greg Burrhalter might have been a good not great national 2207 01:52:51.159 --> 01:52:54.800 team coach, like still stuck to thorn in Mexico's eye repeatedly, 2208 01:52:54.840 --> 01:52:58.359 which is funny. Went to the World Cup and tried 2209 01:52:58.399 --> 01:53:02.000 to play and did successfully at times. It wasn't perfect. 2210 01:53:02.079 --> 01:53:05.960 There were plenty of issues. I think you've seen a 2211 01:53:06.000 --> 01:53:08.640 lot more national team managers than Greg, and I think 2212 01:53:08.720 --> 01:53:10.119 he's a much better club manager. 2213 01:53:10.319 --> 01:53:11.119 And my. 2214 01:53:12.880 --> 01:53:16.640 I still firmly hope that he wins a trophy this year. 2215 01:53:16.680 --> 01:53:18.159 Don't know what trophy would be. I hope he wins 2216 01:53:18.199 --> 01:53:21.199 a trophy this year with Chicago because it would burn 2217 01:53:21.399 --> 01:53:23.800 down US Soccer Twitter and I want to see it. 2218 01:53:24.960 --> 01:53:27.479 Well, this is the Burholter Derby. I mean, you've got 2219 01:53:27.680 --> 01:53:32.199 Greg and you've got BJ. I am gonna go with 2220 01:53:32.359 --> 01:53:32.680 the draw. 2221 01:53:33.119 --> 01:53:35.800 Okay, draw is a plus two to fifty six. So 2222 01:53:36.000 --> 01:53:40.199 bart Colorado hosting Seattle juice boxers threw a blanket over 2223 01:53:40.239 --> 01:53:43.279 the whole thing. Basically, it's a plus one sixty five. 2224 01:53:43.359 --> 01:53:45.399 Either side draws a plus two twenty nine, so they 2225 01:53:45.439 --> 01:53:45.920 don't even know. 2226 01:53:46.560 --> 01:53:46.920 I don't. 2227 01:53:46.960 --> 01:53:53.159 I don't know either. Because Seattle is underperforming. I think 2228 01:53:53.159 --> 01:53:56.800 it's fair to say Colorado is I think wants to 2229 01:53:56.920 --> 01:54:01.079 be good, but haven't been good, have been above average. 2230 01:54:02.640 --> 01:54:06.880 I would go with I'm gonna go with Colorado at. 2231 01:54:06.800 --> 01:54:11.479 Home, Colorado at home, go look at go look at 2232 01:54:11.520 --> 01:54:13.520 just about any Colorado home game, and you'll see you 2233 01:54:13.640 --> 01:54:16.319 very You'll notice it in like the sixty fifth minute. 2234 01:54:16.399 --> 01:54:18.000 Watch the watch the way the game shifts in like 2235 01:54:18.039 --> 01:54:20.159 the sixty fifth minute, just because it gets to that 2236 01:54:20.279 --> 01:54:25.039 point where you can't breathe anymoreocating. 2237 01:54:23.439 --> 01:54:24.319 Literal sea level. 2238 01:54:25.119 --> 01:54:29.560 H Yeah, so you've got that. Sunday Minnesota United Vancouver, 2239 01:54:29.720 --> 01:54:32.520 Minnesota United, JAREDI minus one oh two, Vancouver a plus 2240 01:54:32.560 --> 01:54:35.079 two seventy eight, coming off of their win last night, 2241 01:54:35.159 --> 01:54:36.119 and I don't think they care. 2242 01:54:36.239 --> 01:54:40.479 Give me Minnesota, I don't like. Okay, this is some 2243 01:54:40.600 --> 01:54:42.800 of this is stylistic. Some of this is me being 2244 01:54:43.079 --> 01:54:47.840 a little bitchy and stylistic about things and kind of 2245 01:54:47.880 --> 01:54:52.199 in a mood. As it stands, Minnesota might set the 2246 01:54:52.279 --> 01:54:55.319 record for lowest average possession MLS. I know that people 2247 01:54:55.399 --> 01:54:58.000 are a possession of verse almost at this point because 2248 01:54:58.039 --> 01:55:00.239 of the way Atlanta has played since what's check the 2249 01:55:00.319 --> 01:55:04.600 notes of twenty twenty, where like we've talked about dominating possession, 2250 01:55:04.880 --> 01:55:06.960 Minnesota has the ball, Like they played a game this 2251 01:55:07.079 --> 01:55:08.560 year where they had the ball like twenty nine percent 2252 01:55:08.560 --> 01:55:08.920 of the time. 2253 01:55:10.520 --> 01:55:12.399 No care, I man, I. 2254 01:55:14.119 --> 01:55:16.279 That ish will put me to sleep. Man, Yeah, I 2255 01:55:16.560 --> 01:55:18.680 get you can play out on the counter. That's great. 2256 01:55:19.680 --> 01:55:22.760 I'm still curious how Julian greslol fits out there. Just 2257 01:55:22.920 --> 01:55:25.239 because you're a team that's being at you're gonna be 2258 01:55:25.279 --> 01:55:28.119 asked to defend over sixty percent of the time. And 2259 01:55:28.279 --> 01:55:29.479 he's not a defensive player. 2260 01:55:29.960 --> 01:55:30.079 Now. 2261 01:55:30.119 --> 01:55:31.680 When he gets out on the counter, yeah, he's gonna 2262 01:55:31.720 --> 01:55:33.680 he's gonna run, he's gonna hit early crosses, and that's 2263 01:55:33.680 --> 01:55:36.840 gonna be incredibly dangerous asking him to defend sixty percent 2264 01:55:36.880 --> 01:55:40.039 of the time. I don't know about that. I'm not 2265 01:55:40.239 --> 01:55:42.520 one hundred percent solid on that because I've also watched 2266 01:55:42.720 --> 01:55:44.960 two of the most reputable managers that have ever come 2267 01:55:45.000 --> 01:55:47.680 through this league bench him in the playoffs when it 2268 01:55:47.800 --> 01:55:50.560 mattered most mm hm. So you can call me a 2269 01:55:50.600 --> 01:55:52.159 hater if you want to, But I also watch two 2270 01:55:52.159 --> 01:55:54.439 of the best managers, two the more well regarded managers 2271 01:55:54.439 --> 01:55:56.800 in this league bench him in the playoffs from more 2272 01:55:56.800 --> 01:55:58.960 defensive security, and now he's going to a team that's 2273 01:55:58.960 --> 01:56:01.239 gonna defend a lot. Still give me Minnesota in this 2274 01:56:01.359 --> 01:56:03.560 because Vancouver played in the midweek and played an emotional 2275 01:56:03.600 --> 01:56:06.520 game last night and just stuck Messi in the face 2276 01:56:06.960 --> 01:56:08.279 with a skunk and it was great. 2277 01:56:09.119 --> 01:56:12.279 And speaking of which, Messi and friends barn reminus one 2278 01:56:12.399 --> 01:56:15.079 eighty two hosting FC Dallas at a plus four forty two. 2279 01:56:15.199 --> 01:56:15.840 Is Messi mad? 2280 01:56:18.640 --> 01:56:20.800 You know, I'm actually curious how this is going to 2281 01:56:20.880 --> 01:56:23.039 set up, because yes, I think they're going to be mad, 2282 01:56:24.319 --> 01:56:29.399 But I mean that travel from Vancouver midweek and a 2283 01:56:29.479 --> 01:56:33.159 short midweek at that, yeah, man, you know, back to Miami. 2284 01:56:33.920 --> 01:56:36.039 I'm interested to see how that plays for you know, 2285 01:56:36.199 --> 01:56:39.720 the old guys. And that doesn't mean I think they'll lose. 2286 01:56:39.800 --> 01:56:42.119 I'm just curious. I do think Miami is should be 2287 01:56:42.199 --> 01:56:46.560 the favorite and will win, but I'm very curious how 2288 01:56:46.640 --> 01:56:51.000 that works, because look, Miami had no business beating Columbus 2289 01:56:51.079 --> 01:56:53.600 last week, no business whatsoever. 2290 01:56:54.079 --> 01:56:56.439 Again, they got lucky, and. 2291 01:56:56.640 --> 01:57:00.399 I'll give Columbus credit. They were They filled that stadium 2292 01:57:00.479 --> 01:57:03.119 with a lot of Crew fans up and up and 2293 01:57:04.680 --> 01:57:06.760 the city that has a repper that catches on fire. 2294 01:57:07.119 --> 01:57:12.640 But sad baby, I will say this, I have enjoyed 2295 01:57:12.760 --> 01:57:15.920 multiple trips to Cleveland. It is a very cute big city. Anyway, 2296 01:57:16.560 --> 01:57:19.640 did not deserve to win that game. I'm wondering if 2297 01:57:19.960 --> 01:57:23.000 karma was this midweek or if karma will stick with 2298 01:57:23.119 --> 01:57:24.920 them for the Saturday or for the Sunday. 2299 01:57:25.039 --> 01:57:29.479 That's my question, all right, Jared l a f C 2300 01:57:29.640 --> 01:57:33.079 and All Caps. Lafc's minus one eighty nine Saint Louis. 2301 01:57:32.840 --> 01:57:36.119 City All Caps LAFC still can't win. 2302 01:57:36.159 --> 01:57:38.319 Plus four seventy five your draws a plus three twenty 2303 01:57:38.359 --> 01:57:43.680 two las. I'm sorry, LAFC, I was thinking Galaxy, lay, 2304 01:57:43.760 --> 01:57:49.520 I'm Carl, Yeah, LAFC. Sorry, I'm thinking Galaxy just because 2305 01:57:49.520 --> 01:57:53.239 the Galaxy are like literally winning that. Oh my god, dude, 2306 01:57:53.479 --> 01:57:56.119 Like to the point now where I'm like, I don't 2307 01:57:56.159 --> 01:57:58.920 know if this is a precky poosh thing anymore, or 2308 01:57:58.960 --> 01:58:00.880 if this is just a we need to get you, 2309 01:58:01.159 --> 01:58:02.359 like in an MRI. 2310 01:58:02.359 --> 01:58:03.600 Machine now kind of bad. 2311 01:58:04.960 --> 01:58:09.039 Well give me give me l A C. 2312 01:58:09.159 --> 01:58:12.000 I guess I'm not one hundred percent sold on l C. 2313 01:58:13.720 --> 01:58:22.079 Yeah yeah, maybe maybe Olivia Cherue gets another goal. I 2314 01:58:24.520 --> 01:58:30.640 I'm still absolutely floored that they were not made. He's 2315 01:58:30.640 --> 01:58:34.079 not He was not slandered more by the Mothership for 2316 01:58:34.239 --> 01:58:36.960 going this long without scoring a goal on MLS. I 2317 01:58:37.000 --> 01:58:39.720 feel like any other team you bring in, like a 2318 01:58:40.279 --> 01:58:43.399 known World Cup winning international striker and he goes this 2319 01:58:43.520 --> 01:58:45.119 long without scoring, we would have been hearing about it 2320 01:58:45.199 --> 01:58:48.560 every damn week on the wrap up show or on 2321 01:58:48.640 --> 01:58:51.479 pregame or whatever, or on every podcast known to mankind 2322 01:58:51.560 --> 01:58:54.239 that the league puts out. We never heard about it, 2323 01:58:54.279 --> 01:58:57.159 while Olivia was just kind of strolling through the meadow whatever. 2324 01:58:58.439 --> 01:59:01.000 Mm hmm, yeah, I mean he is mister July on 2325 01:59:01.039 --> 01:59:03.680 the calendar, I would imagine Lag a minus one oh 2326 01:59:03.840 --> 01:59:07.199 five favored against Portland Timbers at a plus two forty 2327 01:59:07.239 --> 01:59:09.039 two draws a plus two ninety two bart. 2328 01:59:09.680 --> 01:59:13.039 False no Portland. That we just what Jared just said, 2329 01:59:13.119 --> 01:59:16.239 copy paste sorry now Portland. 2330 01:59:18.199 --> 01:59:22.680 So that gets us the matchup involving at Landy United 2331 01:59:22.720 --> 01:59:24.840 in the Purple team, Purple teams of minus one thirty 2332 01:59:24.920 --> 01:59:27.680 three draws A plus two seventy eight and at Landy 2333 01:59:27.720 --> 01:59:29.319 United Jared plus three fifty five. 2334 01:59:33.079 --> 01:59:33.640 I'm not like. 2335 01:59:35.239 --> 01:59:36.960 This is kind of sound thefeatist and I don't want 2336 01:59:37.000 --> 01:59:39.279 it to so whatever, take it for what it is. 2337 01:59:40.199 --> 01:59:42.000 I'm not nearly as worried about the result this week 2338 01:59:42.039 --> 01:59:47.279 as I am the fight. If you lose this to nil, 2339 01:59:48.399 --> 01:59:54.119 but you come out, you throw some hips into people, 2340 01:59:54.479 --> 01:59:56.039 you pick up a couple of cards, you get into 2341 01:59:56.079 --> 02:00:01.279 a mass confrontation, you put shots on goal, and you 2342 02:00:01.479 --> 02:00:02.760 have eleven. 2343 02:00:02.439 --> 02:00:03.880 Guys who have each other's back. 2344 02:00:05.800 --> 02:00:07.560 I'm not going to be happy, but I'm going to 2345 02:00:07.600 --> 02:00:11.520 be less irate, if that makes sense, because, like I 2346 02:00:11.600 --> 02:00:14.680 said Monday, the thing that bothers me right now and 2347 02:00:14.840 --> 02:00:17.640 talked about this for Jason after the Tuesdame the other night, 2348 02:00:18.600 --> 02:00:21.079 was how often it feels like they don't have each 2349 02:00:21.119 --> 02:00:25.199 other's back when somebody makes a mistake. Like when Brookslynen 2350 02:00:25.279 --> 02:00:29.239 dribbled into basically a giant bear trapped for the second goal, 2351 02:00:30.119 --> 02:00:35.960 it didn't feel like anybody picked him up. It did 2352 02:00:36.039 --> 02:00:42.319 not feel like whenever there's a mistake, they're picking each 2353 02:00:42.319 --> 02:00:44.239 other up. Go watch the teams that are near the 2354 02:00:44.319 --> 02:00:46.159 top of the table. When somebody makes a mistake, somebody 2355 02:00:46.199 --> 02:00:48.520 else slides in to back them up, to pick them up, 2356 02:00:48.600 --> 02:00:52.640 to carry each other. They work as a FAILINGX. Right now, 2357 02:00:52.680 --> 02:00:55.319 it feels like it's not working as a FAILINGX. They're 2358 02:00:55.399 --> 02:00:59.199 not picking each other up, they're not correcting each other's 2359 02:00:59.239 --> 02:01:02.119 mistakes by being there to make sure that mistakes don't compound. 2360 02:01:03.199 --> 02:01:06.680 I need to see that, need to see some togetherness 2361 02:01:06.720 --> 02:01:10.600 in it. And like I said, you want to win 2362 02:01:10.640 --> 02:01:13.880 in Orlando every damn time. It's a rivalry. Miss me 2363 02:01:14.039 --> 02:01:20.439 with your non rivalry bullshit. However, However, right now, you're 2364 02:01:20.520 --> 02:01:22.279 not in a position where it looks like you're gonna 2365 02:01:22.279 --> 02:01:25.920 go get that. I would love to be wrong. Go 2366 02:01:26.039 --> 02:01:28.239 show me fight, though, Go show me that you're going 2367 02:01:28.319 --> 02:01:30.319 to play as a team. Go show me that you're 2368 02:01:30.359 --> 02:01:33.359 gonna pick each other up, that you're gonna be fiery 2369 02:01:33.520 --> 02:01:36.359 and under control, but also maybe stick a thorn in 2370 02:01:36.439 --> 02:01:40.399 somebody's paul. Go show me that. Please, let's start with 2371 02:01:40.520 --> 02:01:43.159 that and then work our way up. I'm not asking 2372 02:01:43.199 --> 02:01:45.359 you to climb the mountain in one week, but I 2373 02:01:45.439 --> 02:01:47.680 am asking you to put a foot on the mountain. 2374 02:01:48.760 --> 02:01:52.720 Art Orlando is one of the most They are who 2375 02:01:52.800 --> 02:01:56.640 we thought they are teams in the fact that they 2376 02:01:57.760 --> 02:02:03.319 look three three wins, four draws, they marginally overperform both 2377 02:02:03.720 --> 02:02:08.520 XG four and against, meaning they're gonna give you a 2378 02:02:08.760 --> 02:02:13.039 very consistent performance and with a coach that's been there 2379 02:02:13.079 --> 02:02:18.840 for what three four years now. My concern is Orlando 2380 02:02:19.039 --> 02:02:21.439 is just a more stable soccer club right now than 2381 02:02:21.479 --> 02:02:24.920 Atlanta United. And that is probably the greatest indictment of 2382 02:02:25.000 --> 02:02:28.319 this team right now, is it. Orlando looks calm, cool 2383 02:02:28.359 --> 02:02:33.640 and collected compared to Atlanta United. I'm with Jared though 2384 02:02:33.720 --> 02:02:36.359 that I don't think we win. But you need to 2385 02:02:36.520 --> 02:02:39.600 prove to me that all the things you keep telling 2386 02:02:39.720 --> 02:02:42.399 us in the media are gonna come true. Because I 2387 02:02:42.479 --> 02:02:45.000 sat here and listen to y'all last week. Tell me 2388 02:02:45.079 --> 02:02:48.680 about how, oh this pre match press conference was great. 2389 02:02:49.439 --> 02:02:51.760 Players were coming out and they were saying, they said 2390 02:02:51.760 --> 02:02:54.560 all the right things, and what happened on Saturday night 2391 02:02:54.680 --> 02:02:59.319 last Saturday night was shameful. So y'all need to stop 2392 02:02:59.439 --> 02:03:04.000 talking and show the hell up. Prove to me you're 2393 02:03:04.039 --> 02:03:06.800 ready to fight. Prove to me you're ready to battle 2394 02:03:06.840 --> 02:03:09.640 for each other because y'all ain't done that yet this year, 2395 02:03:10.119 --> 02:03:13.439 and it's it's very sad. As someone who pays a 2396 02:03:13.479 --> 02:03:15.479 lot of money to watch this team week in and 2397 02:03:15.520 --> 02:03:18.359 week out, that's all I'm asking for. Prove to me 2398 02:03:18.439 --> 02:03:20.560 that I'm paying money for something worth watching. 2399 02:03:22.159 --> 02:03:25.479 And that is another week here at SDH once again 2400 02:03:25.680 --> 02:03:29.279 on Friday, the Hour of Chaos thanks to Bart who 2401 02:03:29.319 --> 02:03:32.560 came in with breaking news. Bart came bearing breaking news 2402 02:03:32.640 --> 02:03:35.439 on a Friday and so we had that to start 2403 02:03:35.520 --> 02:03:38.399 things off here as well. And as always, it's great 2404 02:03:38.399 --> 02:03:40.079 to catch up with Jarrett when Jarrett can come in 2405 02:03:40.199 --> 02:03:42.399 and crash. Great to have Bradley Wright Phillips once again. 2406 02:03:42.479 --> 02:03:44.279 Let me get the let me get the title description 2407 02:03:44.359 --> 02:03:48.239 of the Multiple Business Card Analyst MLS Countdown Analyst MLS 2408 02:03:48.279 --> 02:03:51.920 three sixty Analyst MLS wrap Up on MLS Season Pass. 2409 02:03:52.359 --> 02:03:54.680 So we got to catch up with MLSBWP this morning 2410 02:03:54.760 --> 02:03:56.800 and that was really cool. Oh yeah, I caught up 2411 02:03:56.800 --> 02:03:58.560 with a BWP to start Hour number two. Had a 2412 02:03:58.560 --> 02:04:00.880 little bit of a crossover with the BWP. 2413 02:04:01.600 --> 02:04:02.439 I know you did that. 2414 02:04:03.359 --> 02:04:04.199 Charlotte has news. 2415 02:04:04.760 --> 02:04:05.840 Oh, Charlotte has news. 2416 02:04:06.399 --> 02:04:08.520 Yeah, Charlotte has waived Ben Bender. 2417 02:04:09.960 --> 02:04:14.800 Okay, so Ben Bender. Let me check our friends at 2418 02:04:15.840 --> 02:04:18.560 MLS players and the salary guide, so we see what 2419 02:04:18.680 --> 02:04:20.920 Ben Bender might have been bringing to the table here. 2420 02:04:21.640 --> 02:04:23.880 So he was the number one pick a couple of 2421 02:04:23.960 --> 02:04:26.600 years of their first year. But dude's been like a 2422 02:04:26.680 --> 02:04:28.640 scrappy little sob since he got there. 2423 02:04:28.640 --> 02:04:29.279 I've liked him. 2424 02:04:29.880 --> 02:04:32.920 Yep. Central midfielder guaranteed compensation one hundred and twenty five 2425 02:04:33.000 --> 02:04:36.560 thousand dollars. So if anybody wishes to grab Ben Bender 2426 02:04:36.600 --> 02:04:39.319 on a free I believe they can do so as 2427 02:04:39.359 --> 02:04:41.920 long as he fits within their salary cap specifications and 2428 02:04:42.279 --> 02:04:43.960 they don't have to wait for any time in the 2429 02:04:44.039 --> 02:04:47.000 near future. So Ben Bender out the door. Obviously, that 2430 02:04:47.159 --> 02:04:51.319 shows the thoughts that Dean Smith has about his midfield 2431 02:04:51.800 --> 02:04:55.159 you know right now, and doesn't want the former number 2432 02:04:55.199 --> 02:04:58.399 one pick out of Clemson. And so we will continue 2433 02:04:58.399 --> 02:05:02.359 the Palace intrigue involving that Michael Parkhurst crossover with BWP 2434 02:05:02.560 --> 02:05:06.760 or sorry Michael Parkers and a crossover with MLSBWP. Then 2435 02:05:06.800 --> 02:05:11.000 it was Jared and it was Bart here on a Friday. 2436 02:05:11.119 --> 02:05:15.399 So coming up to absolutely you did so top of 2437 02:05:15.479 --> 02:05:18.520 the hour once again it is Soccer's in session. We 2438 02:05:18.680 --> 02:05:21.119 catch up with Mike Pettett, the head coach at Callaway. 2439 02:05:21.119 --> 02:05:22.640 On the boys and girls sides, We've got an interview 2440 02:05:22.640 --> 02:05:25.399 with Chris Romano, the boys coach at I was about 2441 02:05:25.399 --> 02:05:28.840 to say Orlando County. It was a Coney County girls 2442 02:05:28.920 --> 02:05:31.840 team won last night on the air against Johnson Gainesville 2443 02:05:32.039 --> 02:05:34.199 boys play today. We caught up with coach Romana before 2444 02:05:34.239 --> 02:05:36.239 the matchup and we'll play that.

I think soccer landscape in this country. 2466 02:06:39.640 --> 02:06:42.399 We owe it to our ourselves and to the sport 2467 02:06:42.479 --> 02:06:44.880 to continue to support it and let's hope that we 2468 02:06:44.960 --> 02:06:49.840 can continue to grow this game here as we head 2469 02:06:49.880 --> 02:06:50.840 into twenty twenty six. 2470 02:06:52.199 --> 02:06:55.800 Twenty twenty six, that's eight months. It's almost seven months away, Jared. 2471 02:06:55.960 --> 02:06:57.520 Last thoughts on the week on the whole. 2472 02:06:57.359 --> 02:06:59.520 For you, this is my once again my ann you'll 2473 02:06:59.560 --> 02:07:03.640 reminder of you to go follow the Scottish Women's Professional League. 2474 02:07:04.399 --> 02:07:09.119 The WPL just keeps throwing bangers every single year. Usually 2475 02:07:09.199 --> 02:07:11.720 it's traditionally been a three horse race between Rangers, Celtic 2476 02:07:11.800 --> 02:07:14.680 and Glasgow City. Last year Celtic won the title on 2477 02:07:14.840 --> 02:07:17.720 the last day of the year in the last five 2478 02:07:17.840 --> 02:07:23.239 minutes with the game winner. This season, as they do 2479 02:07:23.359 --> 02:07:25.439 the split just like they do in the men's side, 2480 02:07:25.479 --> 02:07:27.560 where they split the top. They split the twelve teams 2481 02:07:27.600 --> 02:07:32.239 to a championship group and then a relegation group. With 2482 02:07:32.359 --> 02:07:35.760 a couple of games left, Hibbs ear in a first 2483 02:07:35.800 --> 02:07:39.199 place on sixty four points. Rangers are on sixty two, 2484 02:07:39.279 --> 02:07:42.800 Glasgow City's on sixty one. The Celtic Hearts the Motherwell 2485 02:07:42.840 --> 02:07:45.520 are just kind of down there, meandering. Celtic has not 2486 02:07:45.640 --> 02:07:48.439 been good, which is kind of it's been weird, like 2487 02:07:48.800 --> 02:07:51.560 a lot of what they did last year was really 2488 02:07:51.600 --> 02:07:53.960 good with front Alonzo in charge. In front Alonzo leaves 2489 02:07:54.239 --> 02:07:56.439 in the middle of the day, takes the job in Houston, 2490 02:07:56.560 --> 02:08:00.319 doesn't stay with the Houston dash like just disappear years 2491 02:08:00.359 --> 02:08:02.640 off the face of the earth. Still don't know what 2492 02:08:02.880 --> 02:08:06.159 the actual blue hell happened in Houston. He's over in 2493 02:08:06.239 --> 02:08:11.000 Spain now, I think. But they end up winning the 2494 02:08:11.079 --> 02:08:13.199 league on the last day of the season. But they 2495 02:08:13.239 --> 02:08:15.439 haven't been as good this year, sitting on fifty six points. 2496 02:08:15.479 --> 02:08:21.039 But again, this league constantly produces insane end of the 2497 02:08:21.159 --> 02:08:25.079 season situations. A couple of years ago. Two years ago, 2498 02:08:25.119 --> 02:08:27.800 they went into decision day with Rangers, Glasgow City and 2499 02:08:27.840 --> 02:08:30.319 Celtic all capable of winning it within two points of 2500 02:08:30.399 --> 02:08:32.640 each other and Rangers won it in like the ninety 2501 02:08:32.720 --> 02:08:36.079 third minute to seal the title. This year is Hiss 2502 02:08:36.319 --> 02:08:40.439 on top, two point two points ahead and three teams 2503 02:08:40.479 --> 02:08:44.159 separated by three points. Keep an eye on the SWPL. 2504 02:08:44.640 --> 02:08:46.960 It's gonna get dumb and it's gonna be a lot 2505 02:08:47.000 --> 02:08:48.000 of fun if you want to watch them. 2506 02:08:48.119 --> 02:08:48.680 That's very likely. 2507 02:08:48.720 --> 02:08:50.880 It's gonna come down to the last twenty minutes once again. 2508 02:08:52.359 --> 02:08:57.239 Fran Alonzo, by the way, is Coachingliga Feminine Departiva la Caruna. 2509 02:08:57.560 --> 02:09:00.239 That's where I have no idea what his damage was, 2510 02:09:00.319 --> 02:09:01.960 but when he was in Houston, he took like a 2511 02:09:02.119 --> 02:09:03.960 leave that they claimed was like medical and they were 2512 02:09:04.000 --> 02:09:05.600 not very clear about it, and then he just never 2513 02:09:05.680 --> 02:09:06.079 came back. 2514 02:09:06.359 --> 02:09:10.760 Yep. Six months in hired three days before Christmas in 2515 02:09:10.840 --> 02:09:15.039 twenty twenty three, left unspecified reasons June twenty second of 2516 02:09:15.119 --> 02:09:18.479 twenty four on the first of October, parted ways November 2517 02:09:18.520 --> 02:09:21.680 twenty five, Happy Thanksgiving, appointed manager of Lega F Club 2518 02:09:21.720 --> 02:09:24.920 at Deportiva dela Caruno.
