Speaker 1: I almost had it, almost had it punched. Almost almost almost, John,
Speaker 1: hear you there, Thanks for coming by for another Tuesday.
Speaker 1: Oh crap, my rings upstairs. But at least I'm still
Speaker 1: in the house anyway, John, here you there's Tuesday thoughts
Speaker 1: here on the SDH Network. We're gonna go over everything
Speaker 1: that we've missed on the weekend. We'll go back over
Speaker 1: Major League Soccer and the matches that are not in
Speaker 1: Landing United related. Unless there's anything else on your mind
Speaker 1: involving it Landy United. We'll get into that and we'll
Speaker 1: talk about the twes and talk about what you need,
Speaker 1: what you need to do FAM and you need to
Speaker 1: alert the masses as well when it comes to some
Speaker 1: activity involving at Land United too, so we'll get into that.
Speaker 1: We'll get into Open Cup. We have put out the
Speaker 1: bat signal for some folks and with action tonight in
Speaker 1: Open Cup, we'll go over the juice boxes there. It
Speaker 1: is also the return of league's play. Considering that you
Speaker 1: know you had the Premier League decided, you know, tell
Speaker 1: you what FA Cup you can have the weekend. You
Speaker 1: know that'd be great, you know, so you can do
Speaker 1: your thing. And it ends up with three matches today,
Speaker 1: so they're getting back into the swing of things in
Speaker 1: the Premier League. We'll get into that and discuss everything
Speaker 1: going on there, because it's today tomorrow, and then it
Speaker 1: is what's today. So today is Tuesday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday,
Speaker 1: and then they're back at it Saturday, Sunday, Monday. And
Speaker 1: you want to know who really gets screwed out of this?
Speaker 1: And I know that there are a lot of folks
Speaker 1: that are going to sit there and go, well, I
Speaker 1: don't care, but Chelsea, I mean, look at it. They
Speaker 1: So they're back today, the league is back today. They
Speaker 1: don't play till Thursday. They play go Thursday Sunday and
Speaker 1: Spurs technically, so it literally is Chelsea playing and Spurs
Speaker 1: are playing Thursday, and then they're playing on Sunday. So
Speaker 1: Thursday Sunday for Spurs and Chelsea, I can sense a
Speaker 1: lot of violins and a lot of a lot of
Speaker 1: just open weeping involving that. But yeah, in this quick
Speaker 1: turn of midweek weekend that we see a lot here
Speaker 1: in the States with open with competitions and scheduled compression
Speaker 1: and such. Schedule compression for Chelsea and Spurs has gone
Speaker 1: Thursday Sunday. I know, boohoo. But anyway, it was just
Speaker 1: I was looking at the grid and I'm like, okay,
Speaker 1: so wait a second, So who's the last match? And
Speaker 1: it's Chelsea and Spurs on Thursday at three, And then
Speaker 1: you flip around and you're like, what are they? It's
Speaker 1: like and they're the early game on sun Chelsea's the
Speaker 1: early game on Sunday and they're on the road at
Speaker 1: the g Tech and then Spurs have a home match
Speaker 1: as one of the early kickoffs at nine o'clock on
Speaker 1: Sunday morning. So G thanks for dropping by, Holy Ish Morning,
Speaker 1: Alex Morning Soccer for good o G. So, so we
Speaker 1: got all those news and we got the news to
Speaker 1: catch up with there as well, and obviously we're keeping
Speaker 1: an eye on what's going on in Kansas City with
Speaker 1: Peter Vermes. Peter Vermes mutually agreeing of the parting of
Speaker 1: the ways yesterday and that happened during the show. We
Speaker 1: actually had news break during the show for a chain
Speaker 1: and the press conference is set for today at one
Speaker 1: o'clock Eastern. I think in our conversations with Daniel Sperry
Speaker 1: that we're gonna end up catching up with Daniel on
Speaker 1: Thursday in our number one before the Power Hour of
Speaker 1: Nino and Nico. So we'll get Daniel's thoughts about what's
Speaker 1: going on. It's soccer writer for the Kansas City Star,
Speaker 1: so we'll catch up with him, get the vibe in
Speaker 1: Kansas City, and we'll discuss all of that, and we'll
Speaker 1: go through the rest of the weekend in Major League
Speaker 1: Soccer and get you ready for where we are coming
Speaker 1: into this week of preparation once again the Landy United
Speaker 1: prep and for FC Dallas and Luco Acosta, and that
Speaker 1: will be on Saturday night. So as we mentioned yesterday,
Speaker 1: you're going to have some of the some of you folks,
Speaker 1: the plus ones and the A listers who are going
Speaker 1: to be watching the first College Jupe semifinal at the
Speaker 1: same time six o nine start. The Boss is already
Speaker 1: trying to figure out her travel plan not to San Antonio,
Speaker 1: but to figure out how to watch it, and trying
Speaker 1: to determine what the locale is going to be and
Speaker 1: what you're going to be doing. So that is that's
Speaker 1: the rundown for everything this morning when it comes to
Speaker 1: Major League Soccer and getting prepped for the weekend. So
Speaker 1: all right, so there's the the early rounds of material
Speaker 1: here for this morning. So all right, Opening Kickoff bright
Speaker 1: to was buy our friends at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff
Speaker 1: Coffeeco dot Com. And I'm still trying to figure out
Speaker 1: the whole QR code thing. So I'm getting there. I'm
Speaker 1: getting there. I'm getting there, trust me. And I'm still
Speaker 1: got to figure out how to you know, upload, download
Speaker 1: those kinds of things and figure out how to properly
Speaker 1: make sure that all the information is done properly and
Speaker 1: I don't screw anything up because early days of full
Speaker 1: full disclosure, early days here, in trying the new software,
Speaker 1: I would always blow out backgrounds and I would blow
Speaker 1: out templates for guests and things, and it was pretty bad.
Speaker 1: So I'm gradually navigating that so I'm not like clicking
Speaker 1: on something and changing it or elimonade reading it completely.
Speaker 1: So that was so I'm getting there. I'm getting there,
Speaker 1: absolutely getting there. Okay, So Opening Kickoff brought to us
Speaker 1: buy our friends at Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff Coffeeco dot Com.
Speaker 1: QR code is out there somewhere. But if you start

Speaker 1: is a story from our friends at be in Sports,
Speaker 1: and this is where I get in my finances promo.
Speaker 1: Since that I'm meant went ahead and mentioned Ben if
Speaker 1: you don't have yes rich absolutely Thomas Mueller rumors as
Speaker 1: well to Philadelphia. And so if you end up with, oh,
Speaker 1: by the way, today being what today is, I'm not
Speaker 1: going to be presenting any of those. I'm not going
Speaker 1: to be exacerbating anything of like of that sort. There's nothing,
Speaker 1: nothing from me that you're going to be getting that
Speaker 1: is going to be of an April first activity, because
Speaker 1: it's too much thought. And the best ones are the
Speaker 1: ones that have that little bit of truth attached to it.
Speaker 1: You know, it's like cutting cutting a promo. It's like
Speaker 1: you're sitting there and it's like it's right on the
Speaker 1: edge and there's a little bit of truth to it.
Speaker 1: Those are the best ones. I'm not doing that today.
Speaker 1: We got too much news and too much stuff and
Speaker 1: too much to talk about. So we're not getting gonna
Speaker 1: get wrapped up in Hey, did you see this story?
Speaker 1: Wink wink, nudge nudge, How'd you do? How'd you do?
Speaker 1: And have it not be a real story. It's too
Speaker 1: much time to sit there and go Nope, not happening.
Speaker 1: But anyway, came from our friends at BN so you
Speaker 1: can get be in all the b n's newestern l
Speaker 1: a cdeo for the fans, tayt Say Lego one Lego
Speaker 1: one Max Pro and our buddy Neo tours at Gold TV,
Speaker 1: Fantz dot Co, Slash Soccer down here and you get
Speaker 1: all of the you get all the bends and you
Speaker 1: get all the stuff through our friends at Finantis. Story
Speaker 1: came from our friends at be in Sports, and you
Speaker 1: know that then the video has been there. When you
Speaker 1: watch Messi and Friends, you see this large, hulking, massive
Speaker 1: humanity that is keeping an eye on Lionel Messi and
Speaker 1: making sure that he doesn't get rushed or you know,
Speaker 1: anything happens to his person to where he is not
Speaker 1: affected physically, so that you you see this massive bodyguard
Speaker 1: who almost looks like the villain the villain heavy in
Speaker 1: Reacher season three, except he's not seventy to three or whatever.
Speaker 1: Uh you have get this, so, uh, Yassin Chuco is
Speaker 1: the gentleman's name. And ya seen Chuco is probably about
Speaker 1: two hundred and fifty pounds. That's my guess. That's that's
Speaker 1: my guess. Chuco is about two point fifty. And if
Speaker 1: you've been to a Messian Friends match, whether it's at
Speaker 1: Mercedes Been Stadium or at the Erector Set, you'll see
Speaker 1: Chuco on the sidelines kind of keeping an eye on things.
Speaker 1: Got amazing closing speed for someone who is a defensive
Speaker 1: tackle looking human being. And so we've seen Yasin Chuco
Speaker 1: with you know, Messi and friends and making sure that
Speaker 1: Messi is okay. Apparently now Messi is not going to
Speaker 1: have Chuco on the sidelines anymore. So Chucko has been
Speaker 1: gaining providence even with viral on social media. However, he
Speaker 1: has been informed by that Major League Soccer has banned
Speaker 1: his presence in the stadium's stadium, including the Erector Set,
Speaker 1: a decision that Chuco did not take long to react to,
Speaker 1: expressing his total disagreement. Quote, I worked in Europe for
Speaker 1: seven years in lega and the Champions League, only six
Speaker 1: people invaded the pitch. I came to the United States
Speaker 1: and in twenty months of work, sixteen people have already
Speaker 1: gotten on the field. I'm not the problem. Let me
Speaker 1: help messy end quote. This, however, is not the first
Speaker 1: claim made by at Chuko since he started the company
Speaker 1: across the United States. In fact, last February, once again
Speaker 1: this is from our friends at BN, he sent a
Speaker 1: strong message to the security staff president at MLS Stadium.
Speaker 1: Quote It's not my job to stop fans who invade
Speaker 1: the pitch. That's the responsibility of the stadium security. But
Speaker 1: let's be honest, most of them aren't fully focused on
Speaker 1: their duties. End quote. In his interview with House of Highlight,
Speaker 1: he also defended his work as a member of conca
Speaker 1: CAF Security, where he's supposed to continue working during the
Speaker 1: matches of the CONCACAF hemispheric extravagant quote. I love the
Speaker 1: MLS and conky Cap, but we need to work together.
Speaker 1: I love helping. I'm not better than anyone, but I
Speaker 1: have a lot of experience in Europe. That's fine. I
Speaker 1: understand their decision, but I think we could do something better.
Speaker 1: So there will be no Chuco to kick around anymore.
Speaker 1: You're on your own Major League Soccer. That's gonna be
Speaker 1: kind of disappointing because he's a fixture. But you wonder
Speaker 1: that that that's I said, that's just one side of it.
Speaker 1: We do not know MLS's perspective on Chuko and why
Speaker 1: he's no longer allowed on the touch lines or in
Speaker 1: the in the buildings to be there as security for
Speaker 1: Lionel Messi. But you won't have Chuco to run into anymore,
Speaker 1: apparently in these events, no reason given us to why.
Speaker 1: I would think that if you are someone of a
Speaker 1: of a certain level of you know, a certain level
Speaker 1: of stardom and fandom and you know, folks wanting to
Speaker 1: chase after you, that you're gonna need that extra level
Speaker 1: of security. And I mean, we can we all go
Speaker 1: into buildings and we can sit there and we look
Speaker 1: in folks with ear pieces and things like that, and
Speaker 1: we sit there and it's like, okay, well there's security.
Speaker 1: Their security and their security. I get it, Morning Local,
Speaker 1: Morning Rich. So it's I would love to know. Maybe
Speaker 1: maybe they feel that the Chuico is is equally intrusive.
Speaker 1: I don't know, but like I said, Apparently, according to Chuco,
Speaker 1: he is no longer allowed to be security at matches
Speaker 1: in Major League Soccer. Don't be surprised, though, if he
Speaker 1: continues to be security in instances that are off the field,
Speaker 1: you know, at the practice facility, shopping at the public's
Speaker 1: you know, chasing, chasing after you know we're shopping. Shopping
Speaker 1: is a pleasure. But as of right now, any match
Speaker 1: that you'll be attending, there is this apparent thought that
Speaker 1: Chuco is either a distraction or one extra body that
Speaker 1: folks need to be accounting for. And so he is
Speaker 1: no longer going to be securitying for linal Messi in
Speaker 1: the in the near future, or at least at least
Speaker 1: at MLS events. So that massive, hulking, massive humanity that
Speaker 1: is justin Chuco, the messy bodyguard, is not going to
Speaker 1: be allowed on the field. Like I said, MLS has
Speaker 1: not said why. Venues have not said why. But according
Speaker 1: to Chuco, he is no longer allowed to play in
Speaker 1: the MLS security reindeer games. So we'll keep an eye
Speaker 1: on that and find out what in the wide world
Speaker 1: of sports is going on there, and we will we
Speaker 1: will continue to effort as to the why as open
Speaker 1: in Kickoff Rocho is by our friends at Kickoff Coffee
Speaker 1: and Kickoff Coffeeco dot Com. QR codes out there in
Speaker 1: the ether somewhere. I'm sure that Abby Abby has it,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure that I have it, just trying to
Speaker 1: make sure that it's here where I don't screen anything up.
Speaker 1: So in lieu of not seeing a QR code blocking
Speaker 1: my face, then please go to Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff
Speaker 1: Coffeeco dot com and when you check out, use the
Speaker 1: code soccer down here fifteen. You get fifteen percent off
Speaker 1: your purchase. They in turn take ten percent reinvested youth games,
Speaker 1: youth initiative. Stuff that they have earmarked is cool at
Speaker 1: Kickoff Coffee and Kickoff Coffeeco dot com. All right, your promos,
Speaker 1: don't forget once again. And thanks to our friends at
Speaker 1: the Marshall Island Soccer Federation. They came on last week.
Speaker 1: I've still got some scarves. If you're gonna get the
Speaker 1: Marshall Island's gear, you can get it from them. It
Speaker 1: ships from London, except for the scarf, which ships from me.
Speaker 1: I have to ship one to I think Ohio. I
Speaker 1: got that. I got that one yesterday and so Ohio
Speaker 1: is asking for scarves. So if you wish to continue
Speaker 1: to help out the Marshall Island Soccer Federation and make
Speaker 1: sure that they can continue their work when it comes
Speaker 1: to the last nation on this planet trying to put
Speaker 1: together a national soccer program, then go to their website.

Speaker 1: Soccer is just better in Atlanta SDH Network here, Grady
Speaker 1: Baby logo there, and the Boss has stolen the black one,
Speaker 1: and so I have to wear the red one, very
Speaker 1: very comfortable. And once again, if you help out, Grady Baby,
Speaker 1: what you're doing is you're helping out middle school soccer
Speaker 1: programs attached to the Atlanta Public School system. So there's
Speaker 1: that to help and aid and how things go. At
Speaker 1: Soccer down here dot net, you can get all of
Speaker 1: our new SDH network gear and you can also get
Speaker 1: some stuff with the Ruckus and the Attack. I believe
Speaker 1: those are the two franchises that Jason has done some
Speaker 1: retro artwork for, and you can get that gear as well.
Speaker 1: You go to Soccer down here dot net, you can
Speaker 1: get all the gear there and you can continue to
Speaker 1: add to your stacks, because when I add to the stacks,
Speaker 1: the boss ends up taking it first, and so she
Speaker 1: winds up wearing most of our gear long before I do.
Speaker 1: And so morning, and yes, by the way, I am
Speaker 1: wearing the same sweatshirt that I wore yesterday because I
Speaker 1: wore it for the show. And I know that a
Speaker 1: lot of you sit thereing a man do you sleep
Speaker 1: in your gear? Pretty much? But the what happened yesterday
Speaker 1: was I wore this for a couple of hours and
Speaker 1: then you know, the front came through and the weather
Speaker 1: came through and everything, and so it's like, okay, I've
Speaker 1: got to get ready and go to Walton for Walton
Speaker 1: Marrist And so I took the sweatshirt off. And so
Speaker 1: I come down here to the office this morning and
Speaker 1: I had a T shirt on and I still do
Speaker 1: it is respecting the dearly departed San Francisco State University
Speaker 1: soccer program. And so I come down here to the
Speaker 1: office and it is freezing. So what I ended up
Speaker 1: doing was going back upstairs, getting the sweatshirt that I
Speaker 1: wore on the show yesterday, putting it on this morning.
Speaker 1: And that's where we are. So is that that is
Speaker 1: how that is how the wardrobe works. Sometimes you sit
Speaker 1: there and it's like, okay, I can try to be
Speaker 1: as artistic as humanly possible when it comes to the gear,
Speaker 1: and it's like, you know, how what do I want
Speaker 1: to what message do I wish to express today? And
Speaker 1: I was I was thinking, you know, I could I
Speaker 1: could sit there and show support for San Francisco State
Speaker 1: freezing my butt off. I'm like yeah, So much for
Speaker 1: that idea. So ends up with me wearing the same
Speaker 1: sweatshirt that I wore yesterday and you know, once again
Speaker 1: living like a bachelor. I know that shocks each and
Speaker 1: every one of you. So, uh, today a couple of
Speaker 1: quick things. Conona Ball has announced the rule where keepers
Speaker 1: can hold the ball for only eight seconds before the
Speaker 1: ref awards a corner to the opposition. That will be
Speaker 1: in use in Robertadoris and sud Americana. Note from the
Speaker 1: Secretary's General, Notice from the Secretary's General in concicate and
Speaker 1: a conno ball. So you've got you got that. That's
Speaker 1: keep an eye on that. And when I ended the
Speaker 1: we're all gonna have our timers up where it's gonna
Speaker 1: be like is it eight? I don't know, is it

Speaker 1: So the boss is off to physical therapy and just
Speaker 1: need to make sure that she is in good shape. There.
Speaker 1: She got the cast off and she's got the plate.
Speaker 1: She's got to get she's got to get her note

Speaker 1: when she goes through metal detectors and airports, they don't
Speaker 1: freak out to make sure that it's like, why is
Speaker 1: this going off? Well, I have a plate here, and
Speaker 1: then you got to actually you actually do get a card.
Speaker 1: You can sit there and go here's why you sit there,
Speaker 1: and you're get it's like an excused absence. So we'll
Speaker 1: see how the the we'll see how the boss continues
Speaker 1: to go with physical therapy. All right, here's a rundown
Speaker 1: for this morning. It is we have put out the
Speaker 1: bat signal for some Open Cup guests and we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens. We do have Open Cup tonight. We'll go

Speaker 1: of it. Five matches today. We put at the bat
Speaker 1: signal for the morning, and we'll see if any of
Speaker 1: the folks that are lounging around the hotel want to
Speaker 1: take you know, ten minutes or so and just kind
Speaker 1: of let everybody know what's going on as they get
Speaker 1: ready for their matchups. So we'll drift into Open Cup
Speaker 1: a little bit, drift into the news of the morning.
Speaker 1: Like I said, Premier League is back up and running.
Speaker 1: Go over the juice boxes that go over what else
Speaker 1: is on your mind from Atlanta United, what else is

Speaker 1: school soccer. Last night it was Marist and Walton in
Speaker 1: a non region game. They were like, yeah, we'll go
Speaker 1: ahead and pair up two teams on the girls side.
Speaker 1: I would anticipate going very, very deep in the playoffs.
Speaker 1: Golastraw after eighty went to penalties and a shot off
Speaker 1: the post in the fifth frame and that was the
Speaker 1: difference and so Walton ends up with the win. In PKS,

Speaker 1: have a couple of other things going on tonight as well,
Speaker 1: Open Cup and crossovers and things like that, so we'll
Speaker 1: get into all of that. Columbus and lex sc by
Speaker 1: the way, kicks things off at six o'clock on the
Speaker 1: the US Soccer YouTube channel. So yesterday or yesterday last
Speaker 1: week in Major League Soccer, here was the rundown of
Speaker 1: the weekend and we discussed it yesterday with the penalty kick,
Speaker 1: with the penalty kick call, the PK call that went
Speaker 1: to var New England got points this season. They finally
Speaker 1: ended up getting more than one point. They ended up
Speaker 1: full with the late PK conversion and it was late
Speaker 1: goal by Carlos Heel and then the PK. So New
Speaker 1: England gets a win over Red Bulls two one Toronto
Speaker 1: and Vancouver. None of us can get our lives back.
Speaker 1: If any of you watch that match, I don't know,
Speaker 1: I mean more power to you. I guess I guess
Speaker 1: Vancouver had more possession. Now I'm just gonna take this
Speaker 1: from the Toronto perspective. Toronto had six shots, Vancouver had
Speaker 1: ten more half of those shots on target. Vancouver had
Speaker 1: five shots on target of the sixteen, but Toronto only
Speaker 1: had six shots total, three shots, three blocked. Passing accuracy
Speaker 1: at under eighty percent. Fifteen corners in the match, twelve
Speaker 1: of them went to Vancouver. Twenty four total crosses. Two
Speaker 1: thirds of those went to Vancouver. At least they had
Speaker 1: more offside than Vancouver did. Three two xg was three
Speaker 1: times for Vancouver what it was for Toronto. Four saves
Speaker 1: to three for Toronto, eleven clearances to nine, sixteen fouls
Speaker 1: to fourteen, so fairly even matchouts of the that included
Speaker 1: the idea of no goals being scored, but Toronto Vancouver
Speaker 1: goal of straw. None of us can get our lives
Speaker 1: back on that one. Colorado beat Charlotte two nil Georgia
Speaker 1: Mihailovitch two goals in three minutes, one of them a
Speaker 1: p K. And so Charlotte you're going okay, Well, which
Speaker 1: Charlotte team am I getting here? They had more possession,
Speaker 1: They were out shot twenty to ten. Total crosses, twelve
Speaker 1: of the fifteen went to Colorado x G. Get this,
Speaker 1: the x G on the day was almost four times
Speaker 1: three point three to point eight if you believe in
Speaker 1: those kinds of things. But two goals for Georgia Mahailovitch
Speaker 1: in a short period of time, and Charlotte once again.
Speaker 1: I think Charlotte is who we think they are, Zaha
Speaker 1: on a vert and then everybody else fills in behind.
Speaker 1: Right now, that seems to be the philosophy of Dean Smith.
Speaker 1: Columbus beat d C two one at auty Field. Ben
Speaker 1: tech scored in the thirteenth, and then Diego Rossi continues
Speaker 1: to be either completely on or completely off. He is
Speaker 1: a light switch. You can't have a light switch in
Speaker 1: the middle because then you start to hear the shorts
Speaker 1: and the electricity, and then you might blow a fuse
Speaker 1: or something. Diego Rossi, to me, is a light switch
Speaker 1: either completely on or completely off, waiting for the idea
Speaker 1: to happen. There. It's like, okay, on, off, on, off on.
Speaker 1: Diego Rossi was on. Ben Techy scored in the thirteenth,
Speaker 1: Rossi came back and scored five three minutes later, and
Speaker 1: then it was one one at the break, and then
Speaker 1: Rossi scored in the sixty fifth to make it two
Speaker 1: to one. That was your final for DC. Shots even
Speaker 1: eight eight six shots on target for Columbus, only two
Speaker 1: for DC. XG one point seven to one for d C.
Speaker 1: I said, I always get scurely on the math and
Speaker 1: figuring out an XG. I saw it most of the time.
Speaker 1: I just ended up going with a final score. But anyway,
Speaker 1: two to one, Columbus comes from behind to beat DC.
Speaker 1: I wonder where Troy Lacene's patience level is when it
Speaker 1: comes to the front office in DC Enter Miami. Messi
Speaker 1: and friends meet Philadelphia two to one. Sorry, rich So,
Speaker 1: Robert Taylor, Lionel Messi. I don't know if you've heard
Speaker 1: of him. Taylor scores in the twenty third. Messi scored
Speaker 1: in the fifty seventh Welcome Back, and now he's like
Speaker 1: corporate Messy. He's no longer like shaggy Emo Messi. He's
Speaker 1: now corporate messy. It's like next thing you anticipate him
Speaker 1: wandering out of the locker room wearing a three piece
Speaker 1: suit looking like Cody Rhodes, you know, straight up businessman. Briefcase,
Speaker 1: the whole deal. God's Dogs scored ten minutes to go
Speaker 1: to make it two to one, and I think the
Speaker 1: the the personification of how messy can get under folks skin.
Speaker 1: And I don't know if you saw this video, but
Speaker 1: Lionel Messi was posting up against all the what to
Speaker 1: Makanya and he kind of bumps into Mkanya three times.
Speaker 1: He's like posting up client. It's like, literally, it's like
Speaker 1: the car that's trying to smash into the parking space.
Speaker 1: You back up, you back in, you back up, you
Speaker 1: back in, you back up, your back in. So on
Speaker 1: the fourth time, uh, Mkanya had had enough and he
Speaker 1: apparently it literally just kind of just shoves Messy and
Speaker 1: then Messy falls and it's a foul. So that's once again,
Speaker 1: you know the frustration of dealing with corporate Messi in
Speaker 1: that particular match two won your final Messi and friends
Speaker 1: over Philadelphia, and they continue to be at the top
Speaker 1: of the standings in the Eastern Conference with over standings
Speaker 1: on a roll on the hole in just a bit
Speaker 1: Chicago and Montreal, I honestly thought I was gonna get
Speaker 1: more out of Chicago than I did. So if a
Speaker 1: new coach bump in Montreal is an assistant and you
Speaker 1: get a draw that shows you, I guess where see
Speaker 1: if Montreal is I totally expected more out of Chicago
Speaker 1: in this one, didn't get it, and it ends up
Speaker 1: with Zinkernaugle scoring in the first half and then Seay
Speaker 1: scoring in the second half one to one. Nobody scored
Speaker 1: the final forty minutes, and no one's gonna get that
Speaker 1: ninety minutes of their life back. What ended up is
Speaker 1: the death knell for Peter Urmes, the two to one
Speaker 1: win for Dallas at Toyota over Kansas City shallow. We
Speaker 1: scored to make it one nill than a cost in
Speaker 1: Lao Chuse or two minutes apart in the thirty seventh
Speaker 1: and the thirty ninth to won your final, and Peter
Speaker 1: Urmes is out. Minnesota at home knocks off RSL. RSL's
Speaker 1: traditionally just not good on the road, Taniella will say,
Speaker 1: scored on either side of halftime, too nil your final. There,
Speaker 1: Cincinnati beat Nashville at g Otis Bauer scored in the
Speaker 1: thirty ninth. Den K, who's back from international duty, scored
Speaker 1: four minutes later, or sorry, Evanders scored four minutes later
Speaker 1: than Denk scored in a pk at ninety plus one
Speaker 1: for the difference, So if Anders Golasso is probably going
Speaker 1: to be up there for goal of the week. Monitor
Speaker 1: appropriately Purple team beat Lag and where we see everybody
Speaker 1: losing patients with other clubs right now, I think everybody
Speaker 1: understands with Lag, with the injuries, no Ricky Pooge and
Speaker 1: you're getting paintcil back, it's going to take some time.
Speaker 1: Sea ram Christian Ramiro scored in the fourteenth minute and
Speaker 1: you had a one Nier league going into the final
Speaker 1: fifteen Oheites scores from the spot and then Louise Morielle
Speaker 1: scores in the ninetieth minute. But I think the larger
Speaker 1: question is in net for Lag. That's the larger element
Speaker 1: in this is where Greg Vanny seems to be trying
Speaker 1: to determine who his keeper is. Is it McCarthy or
Speaker 1: is it Mikovich. That seems to be the question and
Speaker 1: Greg Vanny can't seem to settle on it right now.
Speaker 1: McCarthy was in in this matchup against the Purple team,
Speaker 1: by the way, Paintsill was on the bench to start
Speaker 1: things off. So because of yellow cart accumulation and such,
Speaker 1: Dan Kaylickman was your match day manager along with Jason Bett,
Speaker 1: Nick Theslov. You did not have Greg Vanny, not that
Speaker 1: it necessarily has any real impact except in game day
Speaker 1: iplementation or anything like that, but Paintsal on the bench.
Speaker 1: You're getting him back. But the larger question in lag
Speaker 1: seems to be in net is it McCarthy is at Mikovich.
Speaker 1: Neither seems to be doing the job to the great
Speaker 1: satisfaction of anyone and everyone that's attached. But Orlando got
Speaker 1: the duke on the road. LA's at the bottom of
Speaker 1: the table in the West. Once again, we'll take a
Speaker 1: peek at that in a second. San Diego and lafc
Speaker 1: So Cali Classico. This one was about as crazy as
Speaker 1: we figured it would be. McVeigh Valakari mighten score three
Speaker 1: Nils San Diego after forty minutes. Small Yakov scored at
Speaker 1: the forty third under at forty five plus five, so
Speaker 1: literally it was three to two at the break. Igor
Speaker 1: Jesu's got an early second half red card, so he
Speaker 1: will not be available this week. But three two at
Speaker 1: the break, three to your final. And to sit there
Speaker 1: and look at the numbers in this one, San Diego
Speaker 1: had sixty percent of the possession fourteen shots to twelve,
Speaker 1: six shots on goal of four, four block shots to two,
Speaker 1: seven hundred and seventy six total passes in that match
Speaker 1: for San Diego. Holy crap, seven hundred and seventy six
Speaker 1: total passes. I mean, when you're a man, when you're
Speaker 1: a man up, I can see why you're seeing. You know,
Speaker 1: bing bing bing bing bing, ninety two percent accuracy, just
Speaker 1: under it. Four hundred and fifty eight total passes, eighty
Speaker 1: nine percent for LAFC, total crosses eight to two for
Speaker 1: San Diego, one to five of the eight duels x
Speaker 1: G three point three to two point one, five saves,
Speaker 1: three to LAFC and two to CJ Dos Santos. Seven
Speaker 1: clearances for LAFC, twenty fouls, twelve of them for San Diego,
Speaker 1: four yellows for San Diego, three yellows and the red
Speaker 1: for LAFC. Yellow card to tjukulas on welcome back, chooky,
Speaker 1: yellow card to Kumato, yellow card to Segura. Igor Hayesius
Speaker 1: got a second yellow to account for the red. Taverskov
Speaker 1: Igor hayes seuss in the twentieth and then the fifty third,
Speaker 1: so literally he gets a he's playing on a yellow
Speaker 1: for twenty five minutes, gets to halftime, then another eight
Speaker 1: and then he gets a yellow, second yellow when he's gone.
Speaker 1: Martinez gets a yellow in the nineteenth Nigger got a
Speaker 1: yellow in the fourteenth. To try and set an early
Speaker 1: tone in that one, Tory Penzo, Jeremy Kieeso, Calli Smith
Speaker 1: and Ricardo fieriro Va R, Daniel Radford, Avia R, Kyle
Speaker 1: Atkins in front of thirty two and a half thousand
Speaker 1: at Snapdragon. Oh not Deny and Rich. I'll get to
Speaker 1: your oloase video in a second. Twenty fouls twelve twelve,
Speaker 1: twelve of them to San Diego, four yellows for San Diego,
Speaker 1: three yellows for LAFC in the red card at the break,
Speaker 1: and it ends up with it being uh three two
Speaker 1: three two at the half and three two finals. So
Speaker 1: that was uh, that was where it ended up. But
Speaker 1: the the larger point I think in uh in all
Speaker 1: of it was the stuff that happened after the match
Speaker 1: in and of itself, And you had a lot of
Speaker 1: fans that were not liking one another and tried to
Speaker 1: take it out upon each other out in the parking lot.
Speaker 1: So and there was one video that came out of
Speaker 1: San Diego. That was nasty. That was pretty bad, a
Speaker 1: couple of fans getting into it and one getting sucker
Speaker 1: punched from behind. So so Cali Classico three two San
Speaker 1: Diego in the final, San Jose and Seattle a one
Speaker 1: one draw PayPal Park. We'll talk to Nico Moreno about
Speaker 1: it on Thursday. Plus the Ryan Kent signing that is
Speaker 1: apparently dropping today. They posted the social media video about
Speaker 1: you know, making you making the jersey and everything and
Speaker 1: you're hot pressing everything, and so I believe that's going
Speaker 1: to happen today. Ryan Kent gets added. We'll talk to
Speaker 1: Nico about Ryan Kent and how his first couple of
Speaker 1: days at school were. On Thursday, in the last half
Speaker 1: hour of the show, Austin beat Saint Louis in a
Speaker 1: game that took a while because of weather, and Austin
Speaker 1: got a goal on the board. Then the game was suspended,
Speaker 1: I think with about twenty five to go because of
Speaker 1: weather in the area. Is Zuni scored in the thirty
Speaker 1: third and that was the difference. By the time that
Speaker 1: you got into halftime, came back out, had your weather delay,
Speaker 1: came back and finished, and then you had Saint Louis
Speaker 1: City City sc and Austin continued to play the second
Speaker 1: teams Mlist next Proteins had a double header there after that,
Speaker 1: but Austin wins. They move on. Portland beat Houston three
Speaker 1: to one at Providence Park. I think if you're looking
Speaker 1: at folks, you might be looking at Ben Olsen just
Speaker 1: for a quick trigger fingers and things like that. Morris
Speaker 1: score than the sixtieth. Anthony got the double twenty third
Speaker 1: and seventy first minute, but not before front regular season
Speaker 1: Fronto Escobar scores for Houston and the Dynamo get there,
Speaker 1: drawing even at one, but then two goals by Anthony
Speaker 1: won eleven minutes later and then one on the second half.
Speaker 1: Portland wins at three to one, and so Portland admits
Speaker 1: that they can play better after that match, So we'll
Speaker 1: see how well Portland can play better. But they are
Speaker 1: scoring a lot, and so folks are having to keep
Speaker 1: up with Phil Nevill and trying to find out what
Speaker 1: is how can we catch on a daily basis, how
Speaker 1: can we catch Portland offensively? So the Eastern Conference standings,
Speaker 1: and like I said, Rich, I will get into the
Speaker 1: MESSI and friends in a second Miami at thirteen points
Speaker 1: after five match in hand point on top of Filling
Speaker 1: and Columbus. Philadelphia right now obviously more wins four to
Speaker 1: three over Columbus, and they've got just as many points
Speaker 1: at twelve. Chicago is after six matches with eleven points. Charlotte, Nashville, Orlando,
Speaker 1: Cincinnati all at three two and one, all at three
Speaker 1: two and one goal difference. Charlotte's ahead of Nashville on
Speaker 1: goals scored, so they have the same number of goal difference.
Speaker 1: Then they go to goal scored, so Charlotte's in fifth,
Speaker 1: Nashville is in sixth ten goals scored to nine. Orlando
Speaker 1: is a plus three in goal difference, Cincinnati is a
Speaker 1: minus one in goal difference. New York Red Bulls and
Speaker 1: NYC and Atlanta they're all at eight points to two
Speaker 1: and two across the board. Atlanta United has the worst
Speaker 1: goal difference of all three. That gets you to twelfth.
Speaker 1: In d C. D C has six points, one two
Speaker 1: and three. New England get their first win. They're at
Speaker 1: four points. Frankly, they got lucky. Sorry shooter. It was
Speaker 1: a late salvo by Carlos Heel and then the PK call,
Speaker 1: which was the right call. As we talked about yesterday,
Speaker 1: then Toronto and Montreal both four and two. Toronto has
Speaker 1: a better goal difference minus six to minus seven. Montreal
Speaker 1: has only scored three goals in six matches. Two of
Speaker 1: those were against Atlantic Knight in the season open Since then,
Speaker 1: one goal and five. They have one more match away
Speaker 1: from home. And remember what I said still applies. If if, if, if,
Speaker 1: if there is a win, if there is a win
Speaker 1: this weekend by Toronto by a Montreal by CF Montreal,
Speaker 1: see if Montreal goes into Columbus and Columbus remembers coming
Speaker 1: off of Open Cup. So if Columbus loses to Montreal,
Speaker 1: Montreal gets full points and I mean full points, not
Speaker 1: a draw or anything but full points, first win of
Speaker 1: the season, I will drink diet Mountain Do on the air.
Speaker 1: That's not going to change that. That wager is still there.
Speaker 1: That wager is still there. That if see if Montreal
Speaker 1: wins this weekend, their last road game to start the season.
Speaker 1: Still no idea. Who is being looked at to be
Speaker 1: the new head coach in Montreal. I know Derek, I
Speaker 1: know it is I know it's risky. If if, if, if,
Speaker 1: This is how confident I am either in the rest
Speaker 1: of mls or how lacking in confidence I am. Will
Speaker 1: see if Montreal, if if if, if see if Montreal
Speaker 1: wins on the weekend, you will see me drink Diet
Speaker 1: Mountain do on the air, because, as you well know,
Speaker 1: this is regular. This is not this is not unletted.
Speaker 1: This is regular. It's the only regular that I drink
Speaker 1: during the day though, And just to prove, just to
Speaker 1: prove that it's not just a cup, those of you
Speaker 1: who are watching on video here it is. There's your
Speaker 1: two leader right there. So it's the regular stuff. If
Speaker 1: there is a win this weekend from CF Montreal, I'm
Speaker 1: drinking Diet Mountain doing the air, and you will see
Speaker 1: that it is Diet Mountain Dewey. I'm not just gonna
Speaker 1: hide it in the cup or anything and sit there
Speaker 1: and say that it is and oh, well he's got it.
Speaker 1: You know. No, it's gonna be legit. It will be
Speaker 1: a legit drinking of a product, a legit drinking of
Speaker 1: a product. Trust me, trust me, trust me, I will
Speaker 1: be I don't drink Diet Mountain doing the air. But
Speaker 1: that's how confident I am in CF Montreal losing that
Speaker 1: seventh road game in a row to start their season.
Speaker 1: That is the Eastern Conference, Western Conference, Vancouver still on top.
Speaker 1: I I you know, I was, I will sit here
Speaker 1: and say it early turns being what they are early on,
Speaker 1: I said that I didn't know what Vancouver was gonna hold. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you still had some of the same players, but you've
Speaker 1: got a new coach, new coaching staff, all the things
Speaker 1: right now unaffected one of the top offenses in the
Speaker 1: Western Conference thirteen points, one point ahead of Austin. I
Speaker 1: did not have that. In early returns. San Diego in third,
Speaker 1: I did not have that in early returns Minnesota fourth.
Speaker 1: I that was about close. San Diego, Minnesota, Colorado each
Speaker 1: with the same record. San Diego's got a better goal
Speaker 1: difference in Minnesota and Colorado. Right now, that's your three
Speaker 1: four five Portland with the win. I thought there were
Speaker 1: going to be problems all right now. Portland's scoring goals
Speaker 1: ten points ahead of Dallas on goal difference. Dallas at
Speaker 1: three two and one, LAFC at nine points, at three
Speaker 1: and three, Saint Louis City at eight points. They're the
Speaker 1: nine Morning tom Ca from New Hampshire San Jose. Not
Speaker 1: knowing which San Jose are gonna get the San Jose
Speaker 1: boxes of chocolate. They're in tenth. RSL six point six
Speaker 1: matches Seattle six point six matches. The horrendous goal difference,
Speaker 1: by the way for Seattle. Seattle's one, two and three
Speaker 1: eight scored eight against RSL has given up eleven goals,
Speaker 1: They've only scored five and they're two and four. So
Speaker 1: it's a battle of extremes with RSL RSL two and
Speaker 1: four in the year, they've only scored five goals, they've
Speaker 1: given up eleven, they've got six points. And then at
Speaker 1: the bottom and like I said, we already found out
Speaker 1: what was gonna happen with Peter Urmeys. Losing five of
Speaker 1: your first six, You've only scored six goals in six matches,
Speaker 1: you've given up twelve. Losing by an aggregate of two
Speaker 1: to one over your first six matches is not good.
Speaker 1: Parting of the ways with Peter Urmeys happening yesterday on
Speaker 1: the show once again, Kerries a Wagnan is going to
Speaker 1: be the interim head coach for the rest of the year.
Speaker 1: And now the shopping begins for Sporting and we'll see
Speaker 1: what happens. But then you look at Houston oh four
Speaker 1: and two out of the blocks, and we probably should
Speaker 1: have Glenn Davis on to discuss this at some point.
Speaker 1: Oh four and two out of the block. You've only
Speaker 1: scored four goals. Remember you moved Coco Kata Skia on.
Speaker 1: Don't know if you've found suitable replacements or if you've
Speaker 1: thought you found suitable replacements. They're not contributing to the
Speaker 1: levels that you wanted them to. But Houston right now,
Speaker 1: they've only scored four goals in six matches. They've given
Speaker 1: up eleven oh four and two, much like Los Angeles.
Speaker 1: But like I said, with Los Angeles, short of the
Speaker 1: keeper issues that we're seeing with with Los Angeles, we
Speaker 1: know the injury issues Paintsal on the bench working his
Speaker 1: way back into playing shape. You don't have Ricky Pooge,
Speaker 1: Marco Royce, Diego fagund Is expected to step up. They
Speaker 1: have none. So I think that Greg Vanny is out
Speaker 1: of that discussion level being what it is, considering that
Speaker 1: you just won MLS Cup and two of your big
Speaker 1: players are injured. But Houston, look at Houston. I think
Speaker 1: that that's one where you sit there and the warning
Speaker 1: lights are going right now, you're checking, you're checking your
Speaker 1: you're checking your driver's console and there's like a light
Speaker 1: going your check engine light's going with Houston right now,
Speaker 1: and we know what's going on with Montreal. Laurrence Courtrois out.
Speaker 1: I don't. I mean you look at Robin Frasier. I
Speaker 1: would imagine that Maple Leave Sports and Entertainment is patient
Speaker 1: because they still have some financial things that they need
Speaker 1: to work out and trying to figure out who they're
Speaker 1: keeping and who they might be bringing in. But you
Speaker 1: never know right now. Laurren cour Trois out. If I'm
Speaker 1: Laurent con Trois or if I'm will for Nanci, my
Speaker 1: first phone call is to Laurence Courtois, Hey, bruh, you
Speaker 1: want to come in, you want to come back, you
Speaker 1: want to get back into Major League soccer, you want
Speaker 1: to come back and get the band back together. That
Speaker 1: literally would be my first phone call. If if Wilfrid
Speaker 1: Nanci is calling somebody, I'm calling the Rock Courtois. But
Speaker 1: that's your standings after this particular match week. But the
Speaker 1: points that were made, the point that were the points
Speaker 1: that were made. Rich read an article on Choiko's field banning.
Speaker 1: He says, one hundred percent has to be coming from
Speaker 1: another team owner who stadium security union probably complained about
Speaker 1: him doing their job. And that makes sense, That absolutely
Speaker 1: makes sense. But I would also posit in that that
Speaker 1: them in my defense, if I was messy and friends,
Speaker 1: i'd sit there and go, look, it's not like he's
Speaker 1: just you know, Joe Schmoe from Lee's Summit Missouri, who's
Speaker 1: out there on the field. You're talking about one of
Speaker 1: the world's largest assets in the sport. But to your point, Rich,
Speaker 1: it would not surprise me if there was some jacket
Speaker 1: union that came into play and was like, well, why
Speaker 1: is here? It was doing our job. He's helping you
Speaker 1: do your job. The fact that he has the MMA
Speaker 1: training that he has and I think there's a workout
Speaker 1: that was posted with Choiko, the fact that he's got
Speaker 1: an MMA background and can pretty much take out anybody
Speaker 1: and has a fantastic closing speed for someone who is
Speaker 1: as large as he is. HM, he's helping you do
Speaker 1: your job. But apparently, and to richest point, like I said,
Speaker 1: I think, to richest point, literally, it would be one
Speaker 1: of those where you're like, you know, if if if
Speaker 1: if just saying you might need a little help. I mean,
Speaker 1: he's not like I said, He's not just from Least Summit, Missouri,
Speaker 1: and he's out there and right wing for Messi and friends.
Speaker 1: He's Messy. I'm here to help. But it would not
Speaker 1: surprise Rich if you were correct, morning, Harry, uh if
Speaker 1: it was somebody. Oh and and absolutely it was a flop.
Speaker 1: Absolutely it was a flop. Yeah, Rich, looking at the video,
Speaker 1: Messi flopped end of Yeah, Oh absolutely he did. I mean, yeah,
Speaker 1: Messi's banging into him, He's banging into the he's banging
Speaker 1: into the parking space, and uh Ola Kanye gives him
Speaker 1: the push, and of course Messi just goes flying ten
Speaker 1: yards forward, gets the foul call. Oh absolutely, yes, able,
Speaker 1: Messi dives and gets the foul that never happened, never happens,
Speaker 1: but yeah, it was funny. Literally, Messi's backing the car
Speaker 1: into the parking space. Third, three times, fourth time, Oliver
Speaker 1: Kanye pushes him. It's like he backs into him. Oliver
Speaker 1: Kanye pushes, and then Messi launches himself toward Pittsburgh. Messi
Speaker 1: got the foul call. So yes, and so okay, So
Speaker 1: Harry's betting Montreal loses by multiple goals. All right, So
Speaker 1: since we're there, we'll go ahead and drift into the
Speaker 1: juice boxes. So let me let me check the early
Speaker 1: juice boxes. Obviously, as the week goes along, we'll continue
Speaker 1: to check them. But right now CF. Montreal on the
Speaker 1: road in the composite courtesy of our friends at odds
Speaker 1: Portal is a plus five eighteen. Crue is a minus
Speaker 1: two twenty two ninety minute draws a plus three fifty four.
Speaker 1: So those are the numbers leaning into this matchup, and
Speaker 1: they're one of the seven forties. There are a lot
Speaker 1: of seven forties one two, three, four, five, seven forties
Speaker 1: this upcoming week on Saturday in Major League Soccer. But yes,
Speaker 1: CF Montreal on the road at Crewe at a plus
Speaker 1: five eighteen. I wouldn't touch that from anybody. I wouldn't
Speaker 1: let you touch it. So yeah Montreal, Nope. But yeah, Harry,
Speaker 1: it's looking bad. And like I said, Tom, good morning,
Speaker 1: may everything in New Hampshire be a cold and crisp
Speaker 1: and make sure that everything is okay meteorologically, because like
Speaker 1: I said, right now, Midwest, upper Midwest, it's gonna get nasty,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna get nasty years the week goes along anyway,
Speaker 1: So that's what we're staring at from the week that
Speaker 1: was in Major League Soccer, and you're going, who, there's
Speaker 1: just there's some stuff out there. You know, how many
Speaker 1: coaches and what's the career dissipation? Light on all these things.
Speaker 1: We've already had two go one because an owner is
Speaker 1: who the owner is, and the other once again with
Speaker 1: Peter Ermes, you kind of drifted in and out. You're
Speaker 1: kind of going, eh, you know, and it's does he
Speaker 1: have the right to retire on his own terms? And
Speaker 1: you're thinking perhaps, and then maybe, and then he always
Speaker 1: comes back and then everything is there, and then it's not,
Speaker 1: and then it's there and then it's not. Okay. Finally
Speaker 1: just got to the point where you're done. Speaking of LAFC.
Speaker 1: By the way, don't know if you if you've heard this,
Speaker 1: but remember the FIFA is considering an LAFC Clube America
Speaker 1: playoff to replace Layond at the Club World Cup. I
Speaker 1: know a venue that's about eight miles away from here.
Speaker 1: I'm sure that would love to host it. Considering the
Speaker 1: one game playoff, the winner of this one would also
Speaker 1: get nine and a half million dollars in prize money,
Speaker 1: because that's what Conka CAFF qualifiers get and then they
Speaker 1: would be Chelsea's first opponent in the tournament that's going
Speaker 1: to be held here in April May and a couple
Speaker 1: of months FIFA said it was considering LAFC and Club
Speaker 1: America as the playoff teams. Once again. Those two selections
Speaker 1: continue to make Aliwalenzay mad because it was their complaint
Speaker 1: back last year that led to Leon getting ousted from
Speaker 1: the tournament. FIFA expelled laon last week because of the
Speaker 1: club sharing ownership group with Grupo Pachuca. Pachuka qualified winning
Speaker 1: in twenty four. Leon qualified winning in twenty three same
Speaker 1: tournament conking CAF Hemispheric Extravaganza. Both clubs are owned by
Speaker 1: Group of Pachuca, which has stakes in Real Oviedo among others.
Speaker 1: Article ten of FIFA's REGs for the Club World stipulate
Speaker 1: quote no individual or legal entity may have ConTroll or
Speaker 1: influence over more than one club participating in the competition,
Speaker 1: and that if two or more clubs failed to meet
Speaker 1: the criteria, only one of them may be admitted to
Speaker 1: the competition. End quote. Alowallnseay submitted the complaint back in November,
Speaker 1: then went to cass in January. FIFA expelled my own
Speaker 1: last week, but they didn't say what they were going
Speaker 1: to do about a replacement group of Pachuca said it
Speaker 1: would argue their case to cast in a hearing that's
Speaker 1: gonna happen in three weeks in Madrid. And I have
Speaker 1: this vision in my mind of either a dude with
Speaker 1: a letter opener behind a large desk or a pen
Speaker 1: that he's wagging into a television camera, or maybe just
Speaker 1: wildly gesticulating in general and taking papers and sweeping them
Speaker 1: off a large desk, turning over, turning over snack machines
Speaker 1: in a break room. Group of Pachuca in a statement,
Speaker 1: So whomever you personified with that individual making that statement quote,
Speaker 1: we are dissatisfied with this decision and will appeal it
Speaker 1: to the fullest extent possible. We will defend what was
Speaker 1: one on the field. Okay, like I said, I figured,
Speaker 1: this is this is one of these. It's one of these,
Speaker 1: or it's a letter opener and the guy's kind of
Speaker 1: twiddling with it, or the individual's twiddling with the letter opener,
Speaker 1: or it's one of those where that's they're gonna that's
Speaker 1: what they're gonna do. And then the guy said, and
Speaker 1: then you know whoever the individual is, takes his left hand,
Speaker 1: he just sweeps the all of the papers off of
Speaker 1: the desk and comes up with that two sentence statement,
Speaker 1: Governor Lapetamine, I didn't get a harump out of you
Speaker 1: sweep the papers off. We are dissatisfied with this decision.
Speaker 1: Stomp your feet, kind of like Vrukas salt and Willy Wonka.
Speaker 1: I want it now, Daddy, I want it now. You
Speaker 1: stomp your feet. Alia Lendsay did not make the direct
Speaker 1: appeal that for themselves all the so they have encouraged
Speaker 1: Olowa Ensay has said, well we should be next in line.
Speaker 1: They haven't gone through the official channels, but there have
Speaker 1: been folks in Costa Rica who have intimated who are
Speaker 1: close to Aliwa Linzay Ye it should be us. There's
Speaker 1: like this list, there's this list of teams that they're like, Nope,
Speaker 1: should be us, No, should be us, It should be no,
Speaker 1: it's us. We'll just do elimination chamber and get over it.
Speaker 1: FIFA's Club World Cup REGs work in Aliwa Linzay's favor,
Speaker 1: according to Alex Abnos at The Guardian, winning your confederation's
Speaker 1: Championship or landing high enough in FIFA's club ranking, which
Speaker 1: takes into account results over the previous four years, separating
Speaker 1: teams by confederation. Importantly, FIFA also stipulates that no more
Speaker 1: than two clubs per country may participate in the tournament
Speaker 1: unless those clubs have qualified winning their confederations championship. Example,
Speaker 1: the first of the UEFA well A twelve Club World
Speaker 1: Cup spots went to the winners of the four previous
Speaker 1: champions leagues Manchester City, who has issues of their own
Speaker 1: that we'll get into in a second, Chelsea and Real Madrid,
Speaker 1: who won it twice. That leaves nine spots open ballot,
Speaker 1: and those were allocated on the four year ranking in FIFA.
Speaker 1: Red Bull Salzburg makes it over Liverpool, BARSA Milan and
Speaker 1: RBI Leipzig because those club's countries had already qualified two
Speaker 1: or more teams in the competition, while Austria did not.
Speaker 1: Conker CAF was given four in the competition, plus the
Speaker 1: additional host country spot for the US, which we had
Speaker 1: pegged all of us here when we saw that coddastl
Speaker 1: of the host country spot. That host country spot you
Speaker 1: get the the host country spot who in their right
Speaker 1: mind was gonna sit there and say, well, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: gonna be Sporting Jack's no offense. You know, it's gonna
Speaker 1: be Spraybury High School. It's gonna be you know, the
Speaker 1: the un the uh, you know, Duluth, the f C,
Speaker 1: and our buddy John Schuster. It's gonna be one of those. No.
Speaker 1: When we saw when all of us here in the
Speaker 1: collective saw that you had that host country optional spot
Speaker 1: or whatever the heck they called it. What did they
Speaker 1: call it? The host country spot? Just the host country spot.
Speaker 1: When the host country spot came available, who for a
Speaker 1: second did not guess what club was gonna go in
Speaker 1: that host country spot. We absolutely all had it pegged here,
Speaker 1: all of you in the Twitch pitch, all of us
Speaker 1: here slot whatever, you know, thirty or thirty two, Yeah,
Speaker 1: slot thirty two. Of course it was gonna go to
Speaker 1: Messian Friends. And then then Fantino shows up and just
Speaker 1: storms onto the field late in the MLS season and
Speaker 1: the first match of the Club World Cup is going
Speaker 1: to be at hard Rock. What folks at hard Rock
Speaker 1: are like, Oh, that's news to us. So that's where
Speaker 1: we are aliveallndsay's kind of like, well, you know, fam
Speaker 1: we've got the numbers Pachuca and Leone. The other qualifiers
Speaker 1: included Seattle and Monterey, who won the CONKA CAF Hemispheric Extravaganza.
Speaker 1: So now without Leone and Inner Miami, both Mexico and
Speaker 1: US still get the represented by the maximum number of
Speaker 1: two Monterey, Pachuca, Sounders and Messian Friends. Article ten of
Speaker 1: its regulations FIFA says that the General Secretariat in quotation
Speaker 1: marks should decide how to replace a club that runs
Speaker 1: a foul of the multi club ownership rules. Regulations state
Speaker 1: the decision should take into account, in particular the respective
Speaker 1: rankings of the clubs concerned and the applicable quota for
Speaker 1: confederation and or member association. So if FIFA blocks clubs
Speaker 1: from the US and Mexico from taking Laon's place, then
Speaker 1: it goes to the four year ranking system and the
Speaker 1: highest non Mexico, non US or non American franchise availables
Speaker 1: Alla wellensa in there at fifteen. FIFA said LAFC was
Speaker 1: selected for the playoff because of their status as a
Speaker 1: runner up to Leone in the twenty three Triple C.
Speaker 1: Club America was selected by being the top ranked team
Speaker 1: in the FIFA Club World Cup Confederation ranking, through which
Speaker 1: qualification is also determined layone. Players and staff have spoken
Speaker 1: out against the decision to ex captain Andras Guardado, taking
Speaker 1: a dig at Alolens quote, the team's raising their hands
Speaker 1: for the right to compete in our place should be
Speaker 1: ashamed of themselves. It is a brutal injustice. So that's
Speaker 1: where we are with the Club World Cup. We still
Speaker 1: have Team thirty two to be figured out. David, How
Speaker 1: did it take so long to expel them? So FIFA
Speaker 1: is stupid? Well, yeah, they're just kind of like, yo,
Speaker 1: you know, you're just kind of thinking, You're kind of like, well,
Speaker 1: you know, I think I think I think it'd be
Speaker 1: you know, like it'd be a great idea, that sounds fantastic.
Speaker 1: We'll take it under advisement, and so they go back
Speaker 1: to las On, Switzerland. Today. I feel arbiter, and you
Speaker 1: try and figure it out. So what's the timetable here?
Speaker 1: I mean, honestly, I think what they do is they
Speaker 1: try to come up with solutions while kicking the can
Speaker 1: down the road, simultaneously trying to see if somebody else
Speaker 1: will come up with a solution as well. Okay, if
Speaker 1: we have to, and then they try to make it
Speaker 1: into a situation that is virtually impossible for some folks
Speaker 1: to try to navigate if they're really if you're really interested,
Speaker 1: then you got to get a team together by X date.
Speaker 1: But now a lot of this, that's they kind of
Speaker 1: wait for a while and then yeah, okay, then you've
Speaker 1: got to come up with something, David. So that's and
Speaker 1: Tom Tom. To Tom's point, apparently they're only dissatisfied. I mean,
Speaker 1: when you're putting together a press release, weird in two sentences,
Speaker 1: we are dissatisfied. Okay, well that's cool. So so you're
Speaker 1: just a little mad, is what you're saying. Yeah, instead
Speaker 1: of putting together this rage promo of like five paragraphs
Speaker 1: explaining your situation, we are extremely dissatisfied or just weird,
Speaker 1: we are dissatisfied. Was it just dissatisfaction or was it
Speaker 1: extreme dissatisfaction? Yeah, we're just dissatisfied. So it was just
Speaker 1: straight up dissatisfaction. Okay, so yeah, we are dissatisfied. I mean,
Speaker 1: come on, man, light a fire under it, say that
Speaker 1: you're more than just dissatisfied, and put it into a
Speaker 1: five paragraph essay and make it Make it count, man,
Speaker 1: make it count. We are dissatisfied. I mean literally, that
Speaker 1: just sounds like you're walking up to the customer service
Speaker 1: table and you hit your uh you want to pound
Speaker 1: the table with your hand because you got like a
Speaker 1: bad you got a bad ticket, or you got the
Speaker 1: wrong size, and you're going back to exchange it. I
Speaker 1: am dissatisfied with this shirt and then you pound the table.
Speaker 1: What's that gonna get the Is the customer service rep
Speaker 1: gonna sit there and be that much more influenced if
Speaker 1: you sit there and yell and get mad and pound
Speaker 1: the I didn't like this shirt, pound, and the customer
Speaker 1: service rep on the other side of the table is
Speaker 1: gonna sit there and go, uh, do you have your receipt?
Speaker 1: And you sit there and you fumble for it and
Speaker 1: the line gets longer behind you. Yeah, here it is.
Speaker 1: It's not on this receipt, Yeah it is. It's right there. Well,
Speaker 1: why are you returning this shirt? I don't like it.
Speaker 1: That's not a reason, sir. Is it the wrong size, No,
Speaker 1: it's the right size. It's the right color. Was it
Speaker 1: the wrong color? No? Color was fine. I'm just dissatisfied
Speaker 1: with it. Okay, you can't. You can't just shove the
Speaker 1: You can't just shove the box and the receipt to
Speaker 1: the customer service rep and expect them to like jump.
Speaker 1: So if you go into it, especially if you're man
Speaker 1: from the beginning, that CSR is going to sit there
Speaker 1: and really kind of just you know, spin their wheels.
Speaker 1: But if you go into the customer service department, I'd
Speaker 1: like to exchange this, please, And what's wrong with them?
Speaker 2: So?
Speaker 1: It just it was the wrong size. The person who
Speaker 1: who bought it for me, they you know, they weren't
Speaker 1: you know, they thought I was one size and it's another.
Speaker 1: And it's just it's it's just the wrong size. And
Speaker 1: I need to I need to get a refund for it,
Speaker 1: or I need to exchange it. Okay, See what they're
Speaker 1: trying to do. I think they're trying to get more
Speaker 1: with the honey than with vinegar by saying they're dissatisfied.
Speaker 1: We're dissatisfied. You know. It's like when Rachel came wandering
Speaker 1: in uh in the pilot for Friends, and Ross is
Speaker 1: talking about being he wants to be married, and Rachel
Speaker 1: comes through the door. Chandler goes, I'd like a million dollars.
Speaker 1: That's kind of what we're getting into here. So yes,
Speaker 1: Tom only dissatisfied. That's very disappointing. Why do I always
Speaker 1: get a warped one in Louis participation, Yes, Kessey, in
Speaker 1: Louis participation. Here's a box of fidget spinners. And and
Speaker 1: by the way, those fidget spinners they actually do have
Speaker 1: the Club World Cup logo on them. Or it's the
Speaker 1: fidget spinner that is the the test toy, that is
Speaker 1: the replica of the trophy, and so the fidget spinner
Speaker 1: is actually the the arcs of the trophy and they
Speaker 1: kind of do their little spinning deal in and around
Speaker 1: the outside. That's your Club World Cup fidget spinner instead
Speaker 1: of doing it in the middle and going like this.
Speaker 1: The it's of the individual rings of the Club World
Speaker 1: Cup trophy. And you sit there and you pick a
Speaker 1: ring and you you know, do whatever. You hit all
Speaker 1: three and then they go in different directions things like that.
Speaker 1: That is your Club World Cup fidget spinner. Thank you, FIFA,
Speaker 1: We've just solved another problem for you. For your chachkes
Speaker 1: at the FIFA store. Doesn't have to be an actual
Speaker 1: fidget spinner. It can be a spinner of the Club
Speaker 1: World Cup Trophy that you get your own key and
Speaker 1: you can unlock and unlock at any time. David's like,
Speaker 1: I really don't care about their disappointment for not letting
Speaker 1: the women on the field get them in with the
Speaker 1: cash Invaul. They have a chance to manipulate group play
Speaker 1: results to double rich themselves. Not that team's fault, but
Speaker 1: their joint ownership issue. Is the ownership issues to deal with.
Speaker 1: Lesson learned. Read the rule book. Read the rule book.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying. Anyway, Just read the rule book. Man.
Speaker 1: It's like, well, oh, it's like you want to win,
Speaker 1: and you want to try and sit there and I
Speaker 1: guess and sit there and flip one to the other.
Speaker 1: You know, I'm just saying, I'm thinking, you know, maybe
Speaker 1: you want all of your teams to win, and so
Speaker 1: by the time you want your teams to win, that's
Speaker 1: what you're thinking about. Maddy Cruz getting ready for practice
Speaker 1: this morning with a Land United. So are you at
Speaker 1: the Children's Health Care of Atlanta training ground? I.
Speaker 2: In fact, am I spot right now, and I'm I'm
Speaker 2: just chilling to hang it out. I'm gonna strecond here early,
Speaker 2: so that way I can hop on a little bit,
Speaker 2: not on Thursdays, so that that might be a little
Speaker 2: bit jam packed, So maybe we'll hold off on that one.
Speaker 1: But I am going to Okay, what are you anticipating
Speaker 1: at practice today, young lady is at Land United's getting
Speaker 1: ready to take on FC Dallas.
Speaker 2: Oh, I mean it's a full session today, so we'll
Speaker 2: get to watch everything, which will be very nice. So
Speaker 2: we'll get to see kind of I guess early on
Speaker 2: what everyone's thinking, especially with how you're going to be
Speaker 2: set up. But I know we're chatting with Ustean Gregerson
Speaker 2: and Matt Edwards today that is who we're slated to.
Speaker 3: Be talking to in media today.
Speaker 2: So yeah, it'll be a long session just to kind
Speaker 2: of you know, get things rolling and you know, figure
Speaker 2: out some pieces. But yeah, it'll be fun. It's supposed
Speaker 2: to be nice weather too, which I'm kind of excited about.
Speaker 1: So yes, Matt Edwards, the Swiss Army Knife for the
Speaker 1: back line for a Landy United, who I think he
Speaker 1: is now officially played three of the four positions at
Speaker 1: the back any given moments so far this season.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what, and like that that's someone you
Speaker 2: need though, especially with the hold and growns as well.
Speaker 2: Like it shows he's versatility. He can play wherever, and
Speaker 2: that's very valuable, especially with everything because you know you
Speaker 2: can have him on the bench, he can come in
Speaker 2: for anybody in any given moment.
Speaker 3: That that's huge.
Speaker 1: Dominic Chong Qui, I want to discuss DCQ a little bit,
Speaker 1: and I know that we have had the chance with
Speaker 1: his time with the twos in the Academy to see
Speaker 1: him continue to grow and evolve. And Ronnie Dila because
Speaker 1: of just you know, just a concern on Pedro Amador.
Speaker 1: No update on that yet. But by the way, by
Speaker 1: the way, sir, you get tapped on the shoulder, it's
Speaker 1: like you're you're starting today, and it's like, oh crap,
Speaker 1: I'm starting today, and you don't have time to think
Speaker 1: about it. And if you're DCQ and he goes out
Speaker 1: there and puts out fifty seven minutes in front of
Speaker 1: forty two thousand.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it shows the level that Dominic is at,
Speaker 2: you know, to be able to step out there and
Speaker 2: really honestly seem unfazed. I really thought that he had
Speaker 2: a great game. You know, obviously everyone's gonna talk about
Speaker 2: that one miscue there for that one goal. But again,
Speaker 2: like it's a mistake, and that's something Ronnie has talked
Speaker 2: about since the very beginning of his tenure here is
Speaker 2: you know, he doesn't want players to be afraid to
Speaker 2: make mistakes. He doesn't want them to, you know, be
Speaker 2: afraid of those consequences. And I mean, Dominic is a
Speaker 2: player where we've seen him with the twos, he's really
Speaker 2: shined and we've seen him make those mistakes. We've seen
Speaker 2: him bounce right back. He's not a player that's gonna
Speaker 2: kind of bring it down a little bit. And it's
Speaker 2: a good learning experience for him, you know, and it's
Speaker 2: one of those moments where you get real end game experience.
Speaker 2: And other than that, like I thought he had a
Speaker 2: great game for him, coming in, immediately coming in, making
Speaker 2: an impact, being solid.
Speaker 3: I thought he played really well.
Speaker 2: And you know, Ronnie Diila talked about him as well
Speaker 2: in his postgame press conference. He chatted with the media
Speaker 2: as well afterwards, and you know, he gave a lot
Speaker 2: of credit to the coaching staff. I asked about Steve
Speaker 2: and how he helped, and you know, it's just it's great,
Speaker 2: you know. Unfortunately for Steve, he didn't have him on Sunday.
Speaker 2: I think he was a little upset about that one,
Speaker 2: but you know what it happens.
Speaker 1: So all right, since you have transitioned to the twos,
Speaker 1: let's talk about the twos. Rodrigo Neri up for goal
Speaker 1: of the Week. Atlanta United two coming down. They were
Speaker 1: down once, one nil, It came back to title on
Speaker 1: a goal Bynary, down to one, come back to tid
Speaker 1: on a goal by Nary. Lose eventually in PK's walk
Speaker 1: away with a point at home against the chattanooguev C.
Speaker 1: Messi and friends too coming to town this uh, this
Speaker 1: Sunday night at the fraction. What are some of your
Speaker 1: thoughts where the twos are concerned? After the the title
Speaker 1: one with chattanoogev C.
Speaker 2: It's it's one that's so strange because obviously, like it
Speaker 2: was a very back and forth game, but it's something
Speaker 2: we've talked about with the first team as well, and
Speaker 2: it's you know, capitalizing on those chances in the first half.
Speaker 2: You know, you look at the stats of the first
Speaker 2: half and Chattanooga I think had a little bit more shots,
Speaker 2: but I think Atlanta had a lot more of the
Speaker 2: clear cut shots, and I thought that they were dominating
Speaker 2: the game, not the sense of shots or possession anything.
Speaker 2: I thought they actually looked the better team in the
Speaker 2: first half, but you gotta make those chances count. Second
Speaker 2: half comes around, it's a little bit of a stake
Speaker 2: in the back line, and you know, Chattanooga is able
Speaker 2: to bounce it, able to get one nil, but then
Speaker 2: the Twos were able to bounce back again get an equalizer. Obviously,
Speaker 2: Steve even mentioned, you know, it's kind of a weirdish
Speaker 2: situation with a counter attack not leaving someone back there
Speaker 2: to defend that, and that gives up another goal, and
Speaker 2: that's something obviously to work on. But you then came
Speaker 2: back to tie it up again. I mean, crazy, crazy school.
Speaker 2: I think I've seen in a hot minute too from
Speaker 2: Rodrigo Nary. The delivery. I gotta talk about the sequence
Speaker 2: because I watched it again last night and I was like,
Speaker 2: oh my god.
Speaker 3: It.
Speaker 2: First of all, brilliant ball from Hobby, brilliant, he picked out,
Speaker 2: he picked out, came into gosh, is he's making the
Speaker 2: run in, and then came in just so intelligent, knows
Speaker 2: that Narry's right there, Narry's calling for it. He heads
Speaker 2: it down in Narry off the knee and then just
Speaker 2: whips it like that is incredible and it's brilliant. It
Speaker 2: shows the fight and the team to be able to
Speaker 2: come back and get an equalizer like that and to
Speaker 2: get a result, and then obviously you go to penalties,
Speaker 2: and like it's with MLS next pro, if you tie,
Speaker 2: you go to penalties to get the extra point. I mean,
Speaker 2: they did the same thing up against Orlando, you know,
Speaker 2: and it's maybe cleaning up some of those penalty taking
Speaker 2: skills and what you do.
Speaker 3: But I mean, for me, I think penalties are all
Speaker 3: just a mind game.
Speaker 2: Like I feel like it really is, you know, just
Speaker 2: like you gotta stay in the game and get focused,
Speaker 2: and a lot of that can you know, be swayed.
Speaker 2: Especially I believe the Chattanooga goalkeeper was doing a little
Speaker 2: bit of extracurriculars there, you know, doing some taent thing, which.
Speaker 1: Well, and here's here's the other thing involving Yakapovich, I
Speaker 1: think that.
Speaker 2: Where throughout that game, by the way, he had an
Speaker 2: outstanding game.
Speaker 1: And I think with with Yakapovich, he was trying to
Speaker 1: make sure that the ball was on the spot that
Speaker 1: he was It's like, well, is it on the sp
Speaker 1: or is it not on the spot? I don't, you know,
Speaker 1: it's got to be marked where it's supposed to be.
Speaker 1: And he was trying to get into the heads of
Speaker 1: the Atlanta United to younger players anyway possible, you know,
Speaker 1: make make sure that they're you know, make sure the
Speaker 1: run up is right, make sure the balls at the
Speaker 1: right place. You know, are you talking to the players themselves.
Speaker 1: I think Yakapovich had a bit of a clinic when
Speaker 1: it came to trying to get into opposing players heads
Speaker 1: in a PK situation.
Speaker 2: Yeah, totally totally with that. I think that's exactly what
Speaker 2: it was. And you know, and it happens. You know,
Speaker 2: you have some days where you take good penalties, you
Speaker 2: have some days where you don't. And Yakopovich I think
Speaker 2: had an outstanding game from the staves that he had,
Speaker 2: so when we went into the penalty shootout already, I
Speaker 2: was like ooh, and especially pairing it with Josh Cohen
Speaker 2: as well, who we know is very very good at
Speaker 2: penalty taking situations as well as we've seen him with
Speaker 2: the twos with Open Cup, with everything else, I think,
Speaker 2: you know, it was gonna be an interesting one.
Speaker 3: I thought it would have gone either way.
Speaker 2: But again, you know, Chattanoogo is able to come out
Speaker 2: top and you know what, hey, they'll need that victory,
Speaker 2: especially heading into their which who that's gonna be Uh,
Speaker 2: that's gonna be a fun one, that's for sure.
Speaker 1: Yes, where And the wording has already come out and
Speaker 1: has been very consistent on the Chattanoga f C side
Speaker 1: of things, where they're not playing a team from Chattanooga,
Speaker 1: they're playing a team from East Ridge. Apparently there's six
Speaker 1: thousand tickets have apparently already been sold for this matchup
Speaker 1: at Fort Finley tomorrow, and it will be intriguing, to
Speaker 1: say the very least, when it comes to FC and
Speaker 1: Red Wolves going at it in Open Cup. Tormentous playing
Speaker 1: tonight and Open Cup they've got four o sc the
Speaker 1: UPSL side out of Dallas and Core is playing tonight,
Speaker 1: they've got Josh Charlotte. Independence will go over the juice
Speaker 1: boxes and all of those in just a little bit.
Speaker 1: FC Dallas, you got to turn the page. If you
Speaker 1: are Atlanta United, where it was four to three craziness
Speaker 1: and you got to see each of the dp's contribute
Speaker 1: in one way or another. But you got to turn
Speaker 1: the page because perpetual pain in the you know what,
Speaker 1: Lucco Acosta is coming to town for FC Dallas.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you know it's uh. You were able to come
Speaker 3: out and give a solid performance.
Speaker 2: You know, you had a weird first half, didn't I think,
Speaker 2: play your best, and then you come out in the
Speaker 2: second half and you're able to bounce back after a
Speaker 2: three one deficit like already, And again, I think it
Speaker 2: shows the same thing that.
Speaker 3: I've said about the twos.
Speaker 2: It shows the fight and the character of this side,
Speaker 2: and it's something that Ronnie Daila really emphasized, and it
Speaker 2: shows that the fight is is there with this team
Speaker 2: and that is so important to have.
Speaker 3: I think going throughout the rest of the season.
Speaker 2: That was my biggest takeaway from it was the fact
Speaker 2: that you were able to battle to try and find
Speaker 2: something and you were able to find the victory.
Speaker 3: You're able to get all three points.
Speaker 2: You weren't even just able to get the tie, you
Speaker 2: were able to get the full three points and that's
Speaker 2: huge and all of that stuff. I just got to
Speaker 2: you gotta take the positives from this game and you
Speaker 2: got to turn it around to FC Dallas because it's
Speaker 2: an interesting one with FC Dallas too, because like they've
Speaker 2: kind of have been like kind of teetering on like
Speaker 2: pretty good, maybe not so good. I honestly thought we
Speaker 2: would have seen a little bit more of Bruto Acosta.
Speaker 2: I feel like we haven't a lot of him. And
Speaker 2: you know, and it's interesting too, you played this team
Speaker 2: in preseason as well. We'll see how put together they
Speaker 2: are and everything else like that. But yeah, so everyone
Speaker 2: else is walking up for training right now, so I
Speaker 2: think this might be my time to leave you unfortunately.
Speaker 1: All right, So Maddi Cruise is going to training. She's
Speaker 1: gonna go and she's going to get a whole bunch
Speaker 1: of intel and get to training ground dispatches and all
Speaker 1: that kind of stuff. So she's gonna go get smart
Speaker 1: and have the rest of us get smart with her.
Speaker 1: So Maddy Cruise is at the Children's Healthcare of Atlanta
Speaker 1: training ground getting ready for a Land United as they
Speaker 1: prep for FC Dallas. Trying to put in my CFC
Speaker 1: in the rearview mirror from a result standpoint, but not
Speaker 1: from a lessons standpoint. So we'll see what the track
Speaker 1: is this week with Atlanta United as they get ready

Speaker 1: Leone is outside the velvet rope at the moment. But
Speaker 1: they're trying to find a way. They're trying to find

Speaker 1: you guys look familiar. But yeah, the winner of LAFC
Speaker 1: and Cluobe America comes in with their flashy limo, you know,

Speaker 1: roof and the pool and everything. Yeah, the winter, the
Speaker 1: winner of LAFC and Club America comes up, and that's
Speaker 1: the limo that they're coming in. Like I said, you

Speaker 1: and you're allowed into the party. He hands you an envelope.
Speaker 1: It's you don't hand him an invitation. He's got your

Speaker 1: so you know, Brian Schmittzer goes walking in. He's got
Speaker 1: Stephan Fry. Yeah yes, mister Schmitzer, yes you and mister Fry,

Speaker 1: velvet rope. And then there's a dude that's got like
Speaker 1: a box and he hands it's like one that says Seattle.
Speaker 1: And so the Seattle envelope goes to Schmitzer and Stephan
Speaker 1: Fry and before they walk into the party, they open
Speaker 1: it up and they see that there's a check for
Speaker 1: nine point five five million dollars. Yep, we're in the
Speaker 1: right place. And one one of the others like, here,
Speaker 1: let me hang on to that. No, I'm hanging on
Speaker 1: to it. Schmittzer kind of puts it in his jacket pocket.

Speaker 1: with a plastic bin with individual envelopes hand you your
Speaker 1: envelope that's got your name on it. You open the envelope,
Speaker 1: check for nine point five five million dollars for walking
Speaker 1: in the door. Then that same dude is gonna be
Speaker 1: at each and every venue after each and every day
Speaker 1: to hand you another check if you draw or if
Speaker 1: you win. He's got like two separate checks. He just
Speaker 1: fills in the amount he's got it. He's got a
Speaker 1: check that he sits there, and it's like for whatever
Speaker 1: team fits a draw, he fills out two checks for
Speaker 1: like a million dollars each. Representatives come at the end
Speaker 1: of the match. He's like the atm. He hands up
Speaker 1: a million dollar check. Here a million dollars to both sides.
Speaker 1: Somebody wins. One person walks over to the pay window. Yes,
Speaker 1: there's your two million dollar check. Because remember, you get,
Speaker 1: you do get. You do get money, but not as
Speaker 1: much if you win. If you draw none, if you
Speaker 1: lose in group play, but you draw, you get a check.
Speaker 1: You win, you get a bigger check. Jack and jack
Speaker 1: and jack and jick pee. That's men his money exactly.
Speaker 1: Four cards wondering if they've got a billion dollars to
Speaker 1: hand out? Why am I volunteering to work the games
Speaker 1: so you don't have to pay two hundred and forty
Speaker 1: to go in and watch? All right? Now that four
Speaker 1: cards open that door morning four card? Uh now that
Speaker 1: four card has has opened that door. Uh okay, so
Speaker 1: let's take it. Let's take a peek. Let's take a
Speaker 1: peek of the prices, shall we. Well, let's go to
Speaker 1: let's go to our friendly neighbor hood venue in the
Speaker 1: secondary market and find out just off the top of
Speaker 1: our heads what you would be spending if if you
Speaker 1: wanted to go and see the Club World Cup matches.
Speaker 1: And we'll just take the the we'll take the one venue.
Speaker 1: We'll just take the one venue for uh for for Atlanta.
Speaker 1: So let's let's go ahead, We'll go. We'll go soccer. No,
Speaker 1: I'm not near Hollywood, United States. I guess because of
Speaker 1: the last time that I was doing something that way,
Speaker 1: it decided it was going to do it, all right,
Speaker 1: So okay, all right, So now for the venue that
Speaker 1: is local here in the United State, in this particular
Speaker 1: section of the southeastern United States, we'll just do the
Speaker 1: low local ones. I know, we could go to like
Speaker 1: g Otis and look at that, and we could sit
Speaker 1: there and look at the price tags. We might do
Speaker 1: that as we get closer. So Chelsea and Club layone, Monday,
Speaker 1: June sixteenth, three o'clock in the afternoon. Once again, get
Speaker 1: in price. This is what we're going to talk about here,
Speaker 1: the get in price right now for the Club World Cup.
Speaker 1: Get in price upper tank Mercedes Benz eighty four dollars,
Speaker 1: and that is processing fee four dollars a ticket, you
Speaker 1: know all that stuff, So eighty four eighty four. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's looking like eighty four bucks in the upper tank.
Speaker 1: And if you want to get into the lower bowl
Speaker 1: in the forty five degree angles, it's also eighty four dollars. No, no,
Speaker 1: that's section three. That's not That is not what we're
Speaker 1: looking at here. So why are you not giving that
Speaker 1: to me anyway? But all right, so upper tank to
Speaker 1: get in eighty four dollars for Chelsea and Club Lane.
Speaker 1: Now Messi and friends in FC Porto, Thursday, June nineteenth,
Speaker 1: at three o'clock. Once again, upper tank, get in price
Speaker 1: ninety bucks. Eighty nine to twenty is what you're looking
Speaker 1: at for Messi and Friends in FC Porto. Manchester City
Speaker 1: and the all Aien they're the late game on January
Speaker 1: twenty second. Once again, get in price sixty seven dollars
Speaker 1: to get in because once again late night, the twenty second,
Speaker 1: you're the last match of the day. So get in
Speaker 1: price for Manchester City and all Aen sixty seven dollars.
Speaker 1: Then round of sixteen ticket June twenty ninth at noon
Speaker 1: at Mercedes Benz get in price ninety five dollars. Round
Speaker 1: of sixteen Tuesday Night at nine July first, get in
Speaker 1: price seventy eight twenty five, and it's all in the
Speaker 1: three hundred levels anywhere from seventy eight twenty five to
Speaker 1: eighty five eighty six ninety dollars and so on. So
Speaker 1: the round of sixteen, the second Round of sixteen match,
Speaker 1: that one is going to be intriguing. Quarter final matchup Saturday,
Speaker 1: July fifth at noon, get in price two twenty two fifty.
Speaker 1: So the quarter final matchup is the one that really
Speaker 1: blows the curve on the get in price. So that
Speaker 1: is what you're staring at right now for price tags
Speaker 1: and things like that to go in. So if you
Speaker 1: wanted to go four card, if you wanted to go in,
Speaker 1: and if you wanted to watch all of those clubs
Speaker 1: and all of those matches, then you're probably saving three
Speaker 1: hundred moore. You're probably saving close to six hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty bucks a ticket if you want to go see
Speaker 1: all six just to get in the building. That's not
Speaker 1: to be in the corners on the lower level in
Speaker 1: the one hundreds, that's just to get in and hang
Speaker 1: out on the three hundred level, so get in price.
Speaker 1: Upper bowl aren't a whole lot of tickets. Well, the
Speaker 1: tickets themselves lower bowl and the mez those seem to
Speaker 1: be moving. End zone corners not so much. Upper tank
Speaker 1: not moving or at least available for resale more than
Speaker 1: the average bear. But you're looking at for those six events,
Speaker 1: you're looking at like six hundred and fifty bucks to
Speaker 1: go in to be a part of all of those
Speaker 1: events that you're saving by volunteering to go. I don't
Speaker 1: know what they would have you do when it comes
Speaker 1: to volunteering. I'd be like, okay, you are you the guy?
Speaker 1: Are you the guy with the clipboard and the velvet rope?
Speaker 1: Four card? This might be what you're doing. You might
Speaker 1: be the dude with the clipboard and the velvet rope.
Speaker 1: You might be the guy that's a security for the
Speaker 1: guy with the envelopes that he gets to hand out
Speaker 1: after the matches are over. That's what you're You might
Speaker 1: be that person. But as we get closer, we'll continue
Speaker 1: to monitor prices and such, and we'll sit there and
Speaker 1: we'll look at him and go okay, okay, okay, okay, okay,
Speaker 1: Where's where are the things moving? Where is it going,
Speaker 1: what's it not doing, what's it doing those kinds of things,
Speaker 1: so that will keep an eye on. But yeah, it
Speaker 1: looks like it's least right now with the get in.
Speaker 1: As you're volunteering, you're saving yourself about six hundred and
Speaker 1: fifty bucks a ticket for all six so eighty some
Speaker 1: ninety times five four seven four point fifty and then
Speaker 1: two twenty six seventy six seventy five. Yes, training session
Speaker 1: this Saturday for volunteers or it's an orientation thing at
Speaker 1: GSU before the Atlanta nighted match. Okay, we need intelling,
Speaker 1: we need updates, we need to find out what that's
Speaker 1: what they're what they're telling you. You can't say anything bad,
Speaker 1: you can't wear this, you can't wear this. We'll give
Speaker 1: you a ceremonial key for the Club World Cup trophy.
Speaker 1: But that's what you're getting, that's what you're getting into.
Speaker 1: You're saving yourself an ish load of money. Okay, So
Speaker 1: since we mentioned Open Cup, so Open Cup is today.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately our friends from a Carolina Corps are stuck in
Speaker 1: meetings and so we can't quite catch up with them.
Speaker 1: We also have a note out to four to oh
Speaker 1: to see if we can catch up with them as
Speaker 1: they get ready for Tormenta. Here's your juice boxes for
Speaker 1: this go round. Crew two hosting Lexington. This one, I
Speaker 1: think is at the death star right now. Lexington is
Speaker 1: a minus one sixty one on the road taking on
Speaker 1: Crew two at a plus three nineteen ninety minute draws
Speaker 1: a plus three oh seven seven o'clock Tormenta and four
Speaker 1: to oh out of the UPSL. Tormenta is a minus
Speaker 1: five point fifty six ninety minute draw for four to oh,
Speaker 1: and Tormenta is a plus four ninety five. Your four
Speaker 1: to oh to win outright is a plus eleven seventy three.
Speaker 1: And remember that four to oh were the ones that
Speaker 1: knocked off Texoma at Sherman Bearcat Stadium in the last round.
Speaker 1: So four to oh as a UPSL side knocked off
Speaker 1: a USL League one side. And you have them now
Speaker 1: traveling the Statesboro, Georgia to take on TORMENTUS seven o'clock
Speaker 1: seven thirty Charlotte Independence, Carolina core Core on the to
Speaker 1: plus three sixty two Independence of minus one seventy five
Speaker 1: draws a plus three oh seven. Messi and friends two
Speaker 1: against the MIAMIFC. This one, this might be your line
Speaker 1: mistake of the day. The MIAMIFC is a plus one
Speaker 1: oh two draws a plus two sixty eight. Messi and
Speaker 1: Friends two are a plus one ninety nine. Basically a
Speaker 1: plus two hundred and it's wobbling right now for those
Speaker 1: that may not know. For those that may not know
Speaker 1: the MIAMIFC, and when we have Kayler hodges on to
Speaker 1: discuss these kinds of things, the miamif C is not
Speaker 1: a very good team. They are not a very good team.
Speaker 1: They're really not to give you an idea. In the
Speaker 1: power rankings, they are twenty second out of twenty fourth
Speaker 1: right now oh to four out of the blocks this
Speaker 1: season in USL Championship Power rankings have the Roots at
Speaker 1: three and one and Hartford Athletic at oh to three,
Speaker 1: below Miami the MIAMIFC in the rankings after the first
Speaker 1: four match weeks last last season, you'll remember that the
Speaker 1: Miami f C was just g a W D awful
Speaker 1: four matches this season, lost them all. Lost in New
Speaker 1: Mexico one nil, lost of the Rowdies to to one,
Speaker 1: lost to Indy eleven three to one, lost to Detroit
Speaker 1: City two nil. So that's what has happened so far
Speaker 1: in the first four matches eight goals allowed to score
Speaker 1: twelve in in the Eastern Conference. Below Hertford Athletic, they're
Speaker 1: the only other team in the East that has not
Speaker 1: scored a point this year. In the standings, Roots actually
Speaker 1: do have a draw. But then last year, when they
Speaker 1: spent an ish ton of money on folks in the
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference, they were dead blank and last three twenty
Speaker 1: nine and two with a goal difference of minus sixty three.
Speaker 1: That's what the Miami FC was last year, three twenty
Speaker 1: nine and two with the goal difference of minus sixty
Speaker 1: three and a thirty four game schedule. So today you're favored.
Speaker 1: You travel all the way up to the Erector set
Speaker 1: from Florida International, you go from Boca, you go from
Speaker 1: Boca to Fort Lauderdale. This is a real challenging road
Speaker 1: trip where Messi and friends two or a plus one
Speaker 1: ninety nine. Your draws a plus two sixty eight. That
Speaker 1: might be to me the line mistake of the day.
Speaker 1: If you're looking for a cup set, that would be
Speaker 1: the one for me. Late night, ten o'clock Monterey Bay
Speaker 1: and El fa Alito, do not miss, Do not mess
Speaker 1: with the Champs out of the NPSL Monterey Beza minus
Speaker 1: five twenty six to your ninety minute draws A plus
Speaker 1: four eighty two. El Fadalito on at plus eleven seventy eight.
Speaker 1: I like the draw in that one. Av Alta hosting
Speaker 1: LAFC two. Avy Alta is favored. LAFC two is a
Speaker 1: plus two eighty six, and your draws a plus two
Speaker 1: sixty two. So those are your six matchups in open
Speaker 1: Cup tonight, Lexington SC favored at Crew two. Torment A
Speaker 1: big favorite at home against four OSC, the UPSL side
Speaker 1: out of Dallas, Charlotte Independent's big favorite against Corps Messi
Speaker 1: and Friends to a big underdog at home to the MIAMIFC.
Speaker 1: Monterey Bay big favorite at home against El Fadlito A.
Speaker 1: V Alta a favorite of a minus one twenty eight
Speaker 1: against LAFC two. It's in thank you for card for
Speaker 1: doing the work of the insider and letting us know
Speaker 1: what's gonna find out today at three All Hill a
Speaker 1: LAC League quarterfinal Leg one of the CALF Champions League.
Speaker 1: And so we'll see what happens there. We will go
Speaker 1: through gossip Berman and you Windo what to watch, Where
Speaker 1: to watch it, how to watch it. Then Tom thinks
Speaker 1: that the MIAMIFC turns into a USL League One club.
Speaker 1: Oh do I think that they're turning it into a
Speaker 1: D one USL club? Just waiting it out until then?
Speaker 1: I think, honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if they tried
Speaker 1: to get more ownership backing and tried to go into
Speaker 1: that first division group. Because and so Tom, when Taylor
Speaker 1: comes in next time at the end of the month,
Speaker 1: last Tuesday of the month, remind us to talk about
Speaker 1: the MIAMIFC and what he first sees is their future. Frankly,
Speaker 1: for me, they spent an ish ton of money, got
Speaker 1: no results, were awful. They lost twenty nine to thirty four,
Speaker 1: and were the laughingstock of USL Championship. I think that's
Speaker 1: safe to say. So then they decided to just let
Speaker 1: everybody go build with the young talent, build with cheap talent.
Speaker 1: Figure it out from there. And you know, they're scoring goals,
Speaker 1: they're just not winning any matches. So they have now
Speaker 1: gone to the flip side of the equation and they
Speaker 1: are trying to sit there and go, Okay, how do
Speaker 1: we build now? And then they try and build in
Speaker 1: a different way. And so if this younger build works
Speaker 1: over time, which you have to have patients for, is
Speaker 1: this what they do going forward? And I think that
Speaker 1: because of it being Miami, I think they try and
Speaker 1: elevate to that first division status line so that way
Speaker 1: they have a top ten television market as a part
Speaker 1: of the group in that first ever first division league
Speaker 1: from USL. I have no basis in fact for what
Speaker 1: I think, but trying to think of things, think of
Speaker 1: things in economic in the most base economic way possible.
Speaker 1: Give you an example when we do the college basketball
Speaker 1: and football podcasts over on the OSG sports side of things.
Speaker 1: Because of my background in television, I'm always looking at
Speaker 1: a tournament as a television program. So think of this
Speaker 1: new USL product as a television program. What do you
Speaker 1: need for this television program to succeed? You need eyeballs
Speaker 1: in whatever way possible, over the air product, streaming, what
Speaker 1: have you? Butts in seats? So where right now? If
Speaker 1: you were USL Championships, say, who do you want to
Speaker 1: be a part of that first division, that new first
Speaker 1: division league when it starts. You want your established winning programs.
Speaker 1: So that means Loose City, Detroit City, is the top
Speaker 1: fifteen market, Tampa is a top fifteen market, Miami's a
Speaker 1: top fifteen market. But like I said, off the top
Speaker 1: of my head, I do I have no I have
Speaker 1: no bearing and no thought as to who would be
Speaker 1: moving up to that first division, but thinking at it
Speaker 1: in its most base terms, trying to get as many
Speaker 1: butts in seats as possible, have larger stadia, and try
Speaker 1: to have folks watching it. However, they would consume it
Speaker 1: if you look at it from winning programs in top
Speaker 1: ten markets in the East, Loose City, Detroit City, Tampa Bay, Miami,
Speaker 1: if they wanted to move up. Harry probably could give
Speaker 1: you an idea as to San Antonio and their desires.
Speaker 1: Do they want to stay in USL Championship or do
Speaker 1: they want to move up Monterey Bay? Do they have
Speaker 1: the financials or do they stay as Monterey Bay and
Speaker 1: not try to market themselves into Oakland, San Francisco that
Speaker 1: kind of a thing as a no col franchise. Sacramento
Speaker 1: is one of your big guns in the league. Sacramento
Speaker 1: now obviously the home the temporary home of the A's
Speaker 1: baseball team until they figure out if they're going to
Speaker 1: be able to build that building in Vegas or not
Speaker 1: speaking of Vegas, they might be one that would go
Speaker 1: up Oakland perhaps. So there are may be five or
Speaker 1: six teams right now currently in USL Championship that I
Speaker 1: could envision going up into this new first division element
Speaker 1: on market size alone and viewership and market share and
Speaker 1: ownership of the market share. Because if you include a
Speaker 1: San Antonio when they do well, if you include a
Speaker 1: Sacramento Sacramento at hard Health Park when they're winning, you
Speaker 1: can't get a ticket. You cannot get a ticket. That's
Speaker 1: the kind of eyeballs that I think you're looking for
Speaker 1: with this first division thing with USL. I think you're
Speaker 1: looking to put butts in seats, and I think that
Speaker 1: you are looking to figure out what can we do
Speaker 1: to make this look look big field big and present
Speaker 1: itself as being big in larger television markets, to get
Speaker 1: the exposure, to get folks out, to get more exposure
Speaker 1: and get more folks out, to continue to win, to
Speaker 1: get more folks in the building, to turn it into
Speaker 1: a supply and demand issue when it comes to your ticket.
Speaker 1: So then you end up trying to have folks watch
Speaker 1: and consume however they can since they can't get there
Speaker 1: in person, you know, creating artificial demand through winning, So
Speaker 1: that would be what I would That's what I'm looking at. Basically,
Speaker 1: Tom is also waiting for the USL League One club
Speaker 1: to get a qualifying investor for them to work in
Speaker 1: New Hampshire. And by the way, keep an eye out
Speaker 1: for New Orleans in USL League One, or New Orleans
Speaker 1: for those of US south of the Mason Dixon line.
Speaker 1: It looks like New Orleans is going into League two
Speaker 1: with the overall goal of going into League one. So
Speaker 1: keep an eye on New Orleans as a market for
Speaker 1: USL going for a future for card. If there's a
Speaker 1: requirement for market size, I don't. It's how can they
Speaker 1: pro reil since they can't control market size expanded in
Speaker 1: MLS cities. Maybe, But I'm looking at it this way.
Speaker 1: If I'm not saying it's a requirement for market size,
Speaker 1: it's more of a desire for market size. Let me
Speaker 1: phrase it that way. You you want to be in
Speaker 1: markets that matter for your product, and so there's two
Speaker 1: ways to go about this. You can go about this
Speaker 1: by looking at it trying to find large markets for
Speaker 1: your consumption and large markets for your fans. Oh you
Speaker 1: thought it thought it is a US Soccer requirement for
Speaker 1: US D one. So let me let's let's let's take
Speaker 1: a peek at this real quick. Let's let's work shop
Speaker 1: this uh D one requirements. All right, So US Soccer
Speaker 1: D one requirements. We're using the Google machine here and
Speaker 1: seeing if we can come up. Okay, So Pro league standards, yes,
Speaker 1: and waiver, but waivers are a thing. Okay, VIPO vip
Speaker 1: jackets are dropping soon for USA Soccer. Those are pretty
Speaker 1: sweet Pro league standards. I don't want it downloaded. I

Speaker 1: of such funds for any league shall be twenty million,
Speaker 1: used to cover the cost of the team's operation, including,
Speaker 1: without limitation, player and staff salary and wages, stadium lease commitments,
Speaker 1: and third party vendor obligations. In addition to commitments by
Speaker 1: each team of the league, each ownership group must demonstrate
Speaker 1: financial capacity to operate the team for five years. Team
Speaker 1: organization league must have broadcasting cable clarity. High quality internet
Speaker 1: streaming of regular season games satisfies this requirement. So here
Speaker 1: is the link to what I was just reading there.
Speaker 1: So that's what I was reading. So now you've got
Speaker 1: that and set it into set it into motion, so
Speaker 1: bookmark a click on that. That's your guidelines. That's the
Speaker 1: pro league rules according to US Soccer. So if you're
Speaker 1: looking at Nielsen household numbers, so let's go ahead. Let's
Speaker 1: go ahead and go into the Nielsen ratings, Nielsen media
Speaker 1: research expanding out of home panels. I don't want insights,
Speaker 1: I want the markets, new upfronts and guides. I don't care.
Speaker 1: So legitimately, all right, so let's see tv ADI household numbers.
Speaker 1: I'm trying to find out, all right, So the eighty
Speaker 1: I's okay. Statista number of TV households in twenty three
Speaker 1: and twenty four except all whatever, I don't care. Statista
Speaker 1: wants you to pay two hundred dollars CTV enabled for
Speaker 1: television insights, smart TVs and seventy nine percent of homes.
Speaker 1: Uh all right, So I need my TV television market designations?
Speaker 1: All right? So where are see you? Now? This here
Speaker 1: we go, listed TV stations in North America by market. Okay, now, uh,
Speaker 1: all right. So the two hundred and ten DMA is
Speaker 1: listed by the twenty four to twenty five Nielsen ratings.
Speaker 1: So if we go, let's just let's go. Let's blow
Speaker 1: through the top thirty here real quick. New York, La, Chicago, Dallas, Philly, Houston, Atlanta, Washington, Boston,
Speaker 1: San Francisco, Oakland, San Jose is number ten. So Oakland,
Speaker 1: so all right, so let's take it with what we're
Speaker 1: looking at. LA. Orange County probably would qualify if they
Speaker 1: wanted to make that jump. Chicago, USL has been talked
Speaker 1: about there for years. Dallas, we know about USL. Dallas.
Speaker 1: They're coming online. Don't be surprised if they eventually work
Speaker 1: their way North Houston. We have other cities in Texas
Speaker 1: to look at Atlanta, d C, Boston, Oakland would satisfy
Speaker 1: market number ten. Rowdies would satisfy market number eleven. Phoenix
Speaker 1: satisfies number twelve, Detroit number fourteen. Let's see, Miami gives
Speaker 1: you eighteen, Sacramento gives you number twenty. I should have
Speaker 1: been counting off here, so and I'm going technically by
Speaker 1: what we see. So one, two, three, four, five, six,
Speaker 1: seven markets in the top twenty. Then you would have
Speaker 1: eight in the top twenty five with Indianapolis nine in
Speaker 1: the top twenty seven with Pittsburgh. San Antonio gives you
Speaker 1: ten by market thirty one, Hartford and market thirty two.
Speaker 1: USL Milwaukee technically would give you twelve by market thirty eight.
Speaker 1: Yet four card Tampa is Tampa Saint Pete. That's market
Speaker 1: number eleven. So to get to with your current markets
Speaker 1: in the USL, you would have to go to get
Speaker 1: to number twelve, it would be Milwaukee's anticipated franchise and
Speaker 1: if it's not there, then you could get to fourteen.
Speaker 1: If Vegas was in line at forty and Jacksonville comes
Speaker 1: online at forty one. So with current USL clubs not
Speaker 1: looking at expansion, not looking at anything else to satisfy
Speaker 1: the League one model. If you just took the clubs
Speaker 1: they had on hand, it would take you to market
Speaker 1: forty one. With Jacksonville coming online as that fourteenth, Team
Speaker 1: twelve would get you to market thirty eight. With the
Speaker 1: USL Milwaukee project, then Vegas and Jacksonville would get you
Speaker 1: to Club thirteen Club fourteen, And that legitimately is if
Speaker 1: all of them were even interested in drifting up to
Speaker 1: this new Division one program that USL has in mind.
Speaker 1: So you would be saturated to market forty one with
Speaker 1: fourteen teams in Division one. Jacksonville's building their own I think, cashman.
Speaker 1: Let me see here at USL stadium capacities. Let's see
Speaker 1: if the Google machine can help us out here. Okay,
Speaker 1: So stadium's USL championship. Okay, So no, I just want
Speaker 1: I want the capacities. I don't want the news on them. Okay,
Speaker 1: So stadium overviews. Okay, So here we go. Our friends
Speaker 1: at transfer Mark, they are going to help us out. No,
Speaker 1: I don't want You're no all right? So protectives at
Speaker 1: forty seven to one FIU if they play at the
Speaker 1: Football Stadium, South Aikia Stadium would give you twenty Lynn
Speaker 1: Family at fifteen three Oakland. We know that Oakland can
Speaker 1: seat twenty six twenty seven, but fifteen thousand capacity Isotopes
Speaker 1: at thirteen to five, cash Man at twelve five, Mike
Speaker 1: is twelve to one one one, hard Health eleven five
Speaker 1: sixty nine. WakeMed would give you ten. Phoenix Rising, which
Speaker 1: is a temporary facility, could give you ten. I think
Speaker 1: it's modular, so you could expand it. El Paso is
Speaker 1: a baseball stadium. If they my guess is they would
Speaker 1: not go to the new Division one. Toyota is at
Speaker 1: eighty two ninety six. Harry, I would need your advice
Speaker 1: when it comes to expansion, perhaps seventy five percent. They
Speaker 1: need eleven teams and million plus markets. Yes, four card, yes,
Speaker 1: that is correct. So the television markets. Let's see, so
Speaker 1: Jacksonville just to get the TV numbers initial visibility. No,
Speaker 1: so those are your DMAs and I need the numbers.
Speaker 1: But if so, if you go eleven, the fourteen would
Speaker 1: be need to be north of a million, so full power,
Speaker 1: low power outlining. How many see this is the problem
Speaker 1: is that I need the actual household numbers here, and
Speaker 1: you would think that folks would give this to you.
Speaker 1: So DMAs must carries DTV coverage maps by location. I
Speaker 1: need the TV markets, TV station's FCC federal regulations, and
Speaker 1: I know that this is incredible radio for those of
Speaker 1: you who are listening on radio on audio, and by
Speaker 1: the way, once again thanks to our friends at the
Speaker 1: fired Up network in Canada for those that you watch
Speaker 1: there and also on twelve ounce Sports who are now
Speaker 1: adding the programming here with SDH. So all right, so
Speaker 1: my homework is to come up with the eighty I
Speaker 1: numbers medium market and find out who is north of
Speaker 1: a million for eleven of the fourteen. Yeah, and four card,
Speaker 1: I think that's the rub unless you get a waiver.
Speaker 1: Four card makes a good point. So you would need
Speaker 1: in this division one element eleven of the fourteen teams
Speaker 1: in a perfect world or seventy five percent of twelve,
Speaker 1: So nine of twelve or eleven of fourteen need to
Speaker 1: be in households that have a million or more. But
Speaker 1: one or more of the high market teams getting relegated,
Speaker 1: then you need more teams to keep the eleven and
Speaker 1: the D one level. So that that's the rub in
Speaker 1: all of this. That is something that we need to
Speaker 1: check on waivers and we need to check on all
Speaker 1: of the other attachments that go with this because to
Speaker 1: your point four card, to your point to stay d one,
Speaker 1: if you had one of your big guns that was relegated,
Speaker 1: you would need to I would think have at least
Speaker 1: a big gun or more big guns on file, or
Speaker 1: have one of your big guns be promoted from the
Speaker 1: USL Championship to USL Division one, not League one, but
Speaker 1: Division one. So it's either nine of twelve or eleven
Speaker 1: or fourteen, and you've got to have unless there's a
Speaker 1: waiver in there somewhere from US Soccer. Excellent point. Hang
Speaker 1: on to that, hang on to that info. So my
Speaker 1: homework is to figure out which households have more than
Speaker 1: a million viewers for this league going forward. So that's
Speaker 1: my homework. Where's my pen? All right? So hang on
Speaker 1: us households one million plus? Okay, So that's my homework
Speaker 1: today that I've got to figure that out. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 1: big guns would have to be poorly run, highly unlikely
Speaker 1: with a wink wink, wink, nudge nudge, how'd you do?
Speaker 1: How'd you do? Okay, So, stadium capacities after the first
Speaker 1: five or six currently in USL Championship that kind of
Speaker 1: gets a little eyebrow raising, Okay before we go, just
Speaker 1: to keep an eye on things. Sheffield Wednesday. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you heard about this, and like I said,
Speaker 1: this is just stuff to kind of you know, keep
Speaker 1: in your files, like, oh yeah, I heard about this.
Speaker 1: Sheffield Wednesdays players. Apparently we're not paid on time and
Speaker 1: so you know, not paid due to the Chen Sirie
Speaker 1: cash flow issues defon chen Siri has been chairman at
Speaker 1: Sheffield Wednesday since twenty fifteen, failed to pay their players'
Speaker 1: wages for March due to cash flow problems suffered by
Speaker 1: their owner. Club said it was a temporary issue due
Speaker 1: to debts owe to the Thai businessman whose family controlled
Speaker 1: Tie Union Group, the world's largest producer of canned tuna.
Speaker 1: Sheffield Wednesday twelfth in the Championship, five points outside the
Speaker 1: playoff places, facing Whole City at home on Saturday. They
Speaker 1: claim it is because of significant money owed, not because
Speaker 1: of problems of their own. PFA are a whare the
Speaker 1: Owl's issue. She's in touch with the players. Twenty nineteen,
Speaker 1: when Sheffield Wednesday sold Hillsborough two Chance Serrie for about
Speaker 1: sixty million pounds ensure they didn't preach spending rules. Twenty
Speaker 1: twenty three, Chance Siri asked fans to raise two million
Speaker 1: pounds to help the club pay an outstanding debt to
Speaker 1: Her Majesty's revenue and customs to cover wages. Last November,
Speaker 1: they were placed under a registration in Bargo by the
Speaker 1: EFL of amounts owe to their version of the irs.
Speaker 1: Stewardship of the club criticized by fans who protested while
Speaker 1: his relationship with manager Danny Roll has become strained, fans
Speaker 1: demanding answer second registration embargo in twelve months back in November.
Speaker 1: And so you have a manager like Danny Roll having
Speaker 1: a deal with Sheffield Wednesday ownership and folks are not happy.
Speaker 1: Also on the board before we get out of here,
Speaker 1: a couple of other things, No, Tom perfectly. Look. Look,
Speaker 1: the thing about what we do.
Speaker 2: On a.
Speaker 1: Daily basis is we are here to report, we are
Speaker 1: here to inform, we are here to entertain, and if
Speaker 1: we have instances where we do deep dives, that's why
Speaker 1: we have this space. So homework is part of the deal,
Speaker 1: learning about things so we can all be and myself included,
Speaker 1: so we can all be better informed and we can
Speaker 1: better understand what folks want to do. That's why we're
Speaker 1: That's why we're here on a daily basis to have fun,
Speaker 1: catch up with each other, news of the day, guests,
Speaker 1: entertain do good journalism, and become and become smarter and
Speaker 1: more well rounded. God knows I need that. But to
Speaker 1: do homework so we can approach things right and so
Speaker 1: we have all of our facts and evidence when we
Speaker 1: when we can talk about and we're not just kind
Speaker 1: of shooting off at the hip. I admit I shoot
Speaker 1: off at the hip, but it's done in jest. A
Speaker 1: lot of the times. You guys know that I had
Speaker 1: the fund that I have and the fun that we
Speaker 1: all have here together. But to be well informed, we
Speaker 1: need to we need to do these kinds of things
Speaker 1: because if this is what's coming up to be a
Speaker 1: part of the landscape, it makes sense to be informed
Speaker 1: and find out, Okay, can there be a waiver?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Where where are the households? Where does the one million marker?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 1: Cut things off? Strictly? In eighty eyes, if those fourteen
Speaker 1: clubs were to go up to Division one in the USL,
Speaker 1: it would cut off at market forty one. And that's
Speaker 1: if everyone was interested and look four card to be
Speaker 1: perfectly honest. Nothing wrong with rabbit holes, Absolutely nothing wrong
Speaker 1: with rabbit holes. We go down rabbit holes, we become
Speaker 1: more informed, we become we become educated as we go
Speaker 1: about the topics of the day. And that's what I like.
Speaker 1: And I like to be able to be in a
Speaker 1: place where we can inform, entertain enlighten and find out
Speaker 1: stuff we didn't know. Zero issue with it whatsoever. None. Okay,
Speaker 1: So it looks like it might be that Aerling Holland
Speaker 1: might be out for six weeks and he is asking
Speaker 1: his side to adapt. Aerling Holland in the matchup against
Speaker 1: Bournemouth stated that Holland will be out from to seven
Speaker 1: weeks with his ankle injury as they try to qualify
Speaker 1: for Champions League and get the FA Cup forced off.
Speaker 1: In the matchup against Bournemouth, doctors told him five to
Speaker 1: seven weeks back at the end of the season for
Speaker 1: the Club World Cup. He will be ready. So keep
Speaker 1: an eye on Manchester City. Carlo Ancelotti is going to
Speaker 1: stand trial as he is a cue of a million
Speaker 1: euro tax fraud charged with not declaring earnings from image rights.
Speaker 1: Sam Jones at the Guardian says he's going to appear
Speaker 1: in court to stand trial on charges of defrauding Spain's
Speaker 1: tax office in undeclared image rights from twenty fourteen to
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen. Prosecutors who were seeking a jail term of
Speaker 1: four years and nine months, alleged that Enchilatti used shell
Speaker 1: companies outside Spain to create quote opacity visa vi the
Speaker 1: Spanish treasury, concealing the real beneficiary of the income from
Speaker 1: the exploitation of his image rights. They claim, despite his
Speaker 1: status as a Spanish resident for tax purposes, the coach
Speaker 1: declared only his personal earnings from the club and omitted
Speaker 1: the income he received from the sale of his image rights.
Speaker 1: Prosecutors alleged he failed to pay a total of just
Speaker 1: over a million euro and taxes on the sale of
Speaker 1: those rights to which amounted to one point two four
Speaker 1: million and fourteen two point nine to six The following
Speaker 1: year trial, which is going to be held in Madrid,
Speaker 1: supposed to last couple of days. Don't anger the taxman. Also,
Speaker 1: the FA is lobbying the government to make tailgating a
Speaker 1: criminal offense. And what we call tailgating and what they
Speaker 1: call tailgating or two different things. The FA has stepped
Speaker 1: up its lobbying of the government to make forced entry
Speaker 1: into football stadia tailgating a criminal offense. Policing Minister Dame
Speaker 1: Diana Johnson was a guest of the FA. Sixty eight
Speaker 1: of the ninety one arrests were made for folks attempting
Speaker 1: to enter the ground without a ticket. Tailgating at turnstiles
Speaker 1: is not a criminal offense, according to the Guardian, Metropolitan
Speaker 1: Police Force to make the sixty eight arrests on the
Speaker 1: ground of suspicion of fraud. No charges have been issued
Speaker 1: owing to very low conviction rates for tailgating, which has
Speaker 1: become a major issue for the FA and for some
Speaker 1: top flight Premier League clubs tailgating. Their version of tailgating
Speaker 1: and our version of tailgating different. Wrexham has a record
Speaker 1: revenue of twenty six point seven million pounds after a
Speaker 1: boost out of the US. Chelsea is reporting a one
Speaker 1: hundred and twenty eight million pound plus profit after selling
Speaker 1: the women's side to themselves. How you like that To
Speaker 1: get this, I'm gonna sell something to me and I'm
Speaker 1: gonna record a profit. So Chelsea, okay, Now this is
Speaker 1: once again from from Jacob Steinberg at The Guardian. Okay,
Speaker 1: Chelsea appear and this is Steinberg's writing. Chelsea appear to
Speaker 1: have complied with the Premier League's PSR profit and sustainability
Speaker 1: rules through player sales by selling the women's team to
Speaker 1: the club's parent company. So wait and I guess. Because
Speaker 1: when you're dealing with the Premier League side you try
Speaker 1: to sell a hotel to a subsidiary that is linked
Speaker 1: to yourself because it's straight up the Premier League, that's bad.
Speaker 1: But when you try and sell the women's team to yourself,
Speaker 1: that works from a business perspective. So Chelsea announced they
Speaker 1: had turned last year's pre tax loss of ninety point
Speaker 1: one million pounds to do a pre tax profit of
Speaker 1: one hundred and twenty eight point four million. For the
Speaker 1: financial year ending June thirty of twenty twenty four, Chelsea's
Speaker 1: revenue dipped to four hundred and sixty eight and a
Speaker 1: half million pounds. Financial picture quote benefited from increased profit
Speaker 1: on disposal of player registrations and repositioning of Chelsea Football
Speaker 1: Club Women Limited. Club added the profits on disposal of
Speaker 1: the player registrations of one hundred and fifty two and
Speaker 1: a half and a profit on disposal of subsidiaries of
Speaker 1: one hundred ninety eight point seven million led to an
Speaker 1: overall net profit of twenty nine point six after tax.
Speaker 1: Predicted at the time of last year takeover of the
Speaker 1: women's team by Chelsea's parent company, blue Co twenty two,
Speaker 1: that the deal would help Chelsea comply with PSR move
Speaker 1: his face scrutiny from the Premier League in relation to
Speaker 1: rules around fair market value and associated party transactions. League
Speaker 1: past Chelsea selling two hotels just at Stanford Bridge to
Speaker 1: blue Co for seventy six and a half million last year.
Speaker 1: Once again, remember the hotels League past, Chelsea selling two
Speaker 1: hotels at Stanford Bridge to Blueco twenty two for seventy
Speaker 1: six and a half million, and apparently they rankle at
Speaker 1: the idea of the women's team being sold from Chelsea
Speaker 1: to a subsidiary to create profit. That's all you're doing,
Speaker 1: is this. That's all you're doing. You're just sliding from
Speaker 1: side to side. Let's see. I'm trying to think if
Speaker 1: there's anything else that I have missed. Oh uh, I
Speaker 1: think we don't even have Conca caf tonight. I think
Speaker 1: we do really quickly and then we'll get into what
Speaker 1: to watch, Where to watch it? How to watch it? Uh,
Speaker 1: North and Central America. Okay, Yeah, Triple C going on
Speaker 1: today and tomorrow. So it is clubeo America, cruz As
Speaker 1: Soul Club America is plus one o eight ninety minute
Speaker 1: draws A plus two forty two, Cruisusuo is a plus
Speaker 1: two thirty seven and at eleven fifteen Lag hosting Ti Gris.
Speaker 1: Lag is a dog at a plus one sixty four
Speaker 1: t Grace probably without Jimiac and a couple of others
Speaker 1: because they just don't want them to travels a plus
Speaker 1: one fifty two and your draws A plus two forty three,
Speaker 1: So basically draw option from our friends at Odd's portal.
Speaker 1: They don't know. Tigris is a road favorite, slightly. Club
Speaker 1: America is a home favorite by a lot. Tomorrow it's
Speaker 1: white Caps, Pumas, LAFC and Messian Friends. So that's the
Speaker 1: activity in conker Calf today. In the prem we had
Speaker 1: three matches. We have three two at two forty five,
Speaker 1: Arsenal minus two four hosting Fulhama at a plus six
Speaker 1: thirty eight, Wolves a plus one fifty hosting west Ham
Speaker 1: Ata plus one ninety seven and at three o'clock. Forest
Speaker 1: favored against Manchester United at a plus one twenty nine.
Speaker 1: Manchester United, it's a plus two twelve. Bulk of the
Speaker 1: action is tomorrow and then you have the one matchup
Speaker 1: to wrap things up on Thursday before those teams play
Speaker 1: again on Sunday. Chie. Thanks, So, yes, the tailgating thing
Speaker 1: is different to us than it is in in England.
Speaker 1: That's the word I'm looking for. Tailgating is different in England. Okay,
Speaker 1: So homework was performed, uh fifty five metro areas over
Speaker 1: a million, thank you, four card. That's what I was
Speaker 1: looking for. Metropolitan statistical area, all right, So metropolitan statistical
Speaker 1: area goes to all right, so forty one, okay, so
Speaker 1: this is metropolitan statistical area. And so now that's the question.
Speaker 1: Does it go statistical area or does it go with
Speaker 1: DMA according to television, so Jacksonville would be at thirty
Speaker 1: eight instead of forty one. They're forty one in television,
Speaker 1: but they're thirty eight in area. So then you have Providence,
Speaker 1: and I believe we heard Michael Parker say that Rhode
Speaker 1: Island would jump up to that division one. So if
Speaker 1: we go below forty one, Oklahoma City, the return of
Speaker 1: the energy. If that was to happen, it would be
Speaker 1: at forty two. Louisville at forty three. Memphis is a
Speaker 1: market you would need to get back into. Birmingham at
Speaker 1: forty seven. Hartford we already had on the list, and
Speaker 1: FC Tulsa, so and if Union, I don't know if
Speaker 1: you Union Omaha would jump, but you would have the
Speaker 1: possibility of another four so as many as eighteen in
Speaker 1: the top fifty if they all wanted to go. So
Speaker 1: there's some wiggle room there that's attached. So four card
Speaker 1: USL just needs to get the stadia above fifteen thousand
Speaker 1: for teams to get promoted to the D one right now,
Speaker 1: that's going to be a problem considering that there's six
Speaker 1: of them right now that are fifteen thousand or more.
Speaker 1: So that's what you're staring at. Okay, gossip Berman and
Speaker 1: you into what to watch, where to watch it, how
Speaker 1: to watch it, and then we'll get out of here
Speaker 1: and then we'll get you ready for what's going on
Speaker 1: tomorrow once again, Tyler Dylan Moore in session at noon,
Speaker 1: and we're going to be an event in Fayetteville at
Speaker 1: four o'clock tomorrow afternoon with us Soccer. It was as
Speaker 1: they continue to expand their thoughts and the game in
Speaker 1: Fayette County looking for Daniel Sperry from the Kansas City
Speaker 1: started to join us on Thursday with Nina and Nico.
Speaker 1: Thursday is the SDH one and two on the network,
Speaker 1: dutch Town and Trinity Christian Toombs County Hebron Christian. Those
Speaker 1: will be on the network on Thursday and then Friday.
Speaker 1: It's a getting you ready for the weekend and we
Speaker 1: do have a matchup squared away and we're trying to
Speaker 1: get the just final final on that matchup on Friday.
Speaker 1: But we know where we'd like to go. Okay, Gospermor
Speaker 1: and Innu into what to watch or to watch it?
Speaker 1: How to watch it? Born with what forty five million
Speaker 1: pounds for Melosh karcash Amid interest from Liverpool City are
Speaker 1: going to try and find try and sign William Saliba,
Speaker 1: also a target for Real Madrid. Ac Milan's Tiani Rinders
Speaker 1: also a target for Manchester City, having made contact with
Speaker 1: the Syria club Christiano Ronaldo. The idea, according to Tuto's Sport,
Speaker 1: that he would join Inter Milan for the Club World
Speaker 1: Cup is not a serious one for that particular club
Speaker 1: Arsenal considering Eintrach Frankfurt Hugo Akatike as an alternative to
Speaker 1: Alexander Esach. Chelsea not currently expecting to sign a new
Speaker 1: first team keeper in the summer. Nzo Moresca is gonna
Speaker 1: have Georgi Petrovich and Mike Penders who are on loan
Speaker 1: with Strasburg and joining from Gank to challenge from the
Speaker 1: spot we mentioned Becayosaka him hanging around for a while
Speaker 1: yesterday with bart Barcelona is saying that Paedri is not
Speaker 1: at for sale, amid reports linking him to Manchester City,
Speaker 1: who believe that he would be the replacement for Kevin
Speaker 1: de Brunna and Fabio Paratici is said to become Asimlan
Speaker 1: sporting director when his band from football activities in his
Speaker 1: homeland ends. Now what to watch heor to watch it?

Speaker 1: replaces her on the roster for the USWNT for the
Speaker 1: friendlies against Brazil two times in a four day period.
Speaker 1: So that's your stuff. That's all we need. That's going on.
