He uh. 180 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:22.279 I don't know how deeply he went into this, but 181 00:09:22.759 --> 00:09:25.120 he was like, you know what what makes you not 182 00:09:25.279 --> 00:09:30.919 feel well after eating white castles is. 183 00:09:29.159 --> 00:09:31.440 Is their ketchup. 184 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:34.360 Like you ask for it without ketchup and even just 185 00:09:34.360 --> 00:09:37.360 get a ketchup packet if you wanted, because that way, 186 00:09:37.399 --> 00:09:40.600 it's not like the big jug of. 187 00:09:40.759 --> 00:09:42.960 Ketchup or something. He was trying to explain some sort 188 00:09:42.960 --> 00:09:43.720 of chemistry. 189 00:09:45.080 --> 00:09:48.440 Well, and I could, because that ketchup is is out 190 00:09:48.480 --> 00:09:51.279 in the air in the environment, and it's it's room temperature, 191 00:09:51.320 --> 00:09:53.279 and it's out there for an elongated period of time. 192 00:09:53.320 --> 00:09:56.120 I get that. So no, I understand, I understand where 193 00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.200 that's coming from. But yeah, when I would go to 194 00:09:58.320 --> 00:10:01.399 the southernmost white castle in the UNI the States, in Murphreysboro, Tennessee, 195 00:10:01.440 --> 00:10:03.159 on my way to Middle Tennessee State, or on my 196 00:10:03.200 --> 00:10:05.480 way to Nashville, you peel off. It's right off of 197 00:10:05.519 --> 00:10:08.000 the interstate. You go and you get an A one. 198 00:10:08.080 --> 00:10:10.039 You get an A one white castle, and instead of 199 00:10:10.120 --> 00:10:13.559 the room temperature ketchup or the room temperature mustard, they 200 00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:15.879 put A one on it. And so that way, for me, 201 00:10:15.960 --> 00:10:18.799 it was a lot better off for me to have 202 00:10:18.879 --> 00:10:20.559 that as an option that you don't get it crystal, 203 00:10:20.559 --> 00:10:22.000 because I'm sure that if you try it's like, can 204 00:10:22.039 --> 00:10:23.360 I have an A one crystal, they look at you 205 00:10:23.440 --> 00:10:27.600 like what It's like, what are you talking about? So 206 00:10:28.080 --> 00:10:30.440 welcome to Wall Pass. Wednesday. We're halfway through the second 207 00:10:30.440 --> 00:10:32.159 with Dylan and we have such soccer. 208 00:10:32.200 --> 00:10:34.320 Yet hey, there's also yo, there's a there's an MLS 209 00:10:34.360 --> 00:10:35.240 Cup final this week. 210 00:10:35.559 --> 00:10:38.879 I've heard it is That's what I've heard that is 211 00:10:38.919 --> 00:10:41.879 not involving Messi and Friends, and it drives people crazy 212 00:10:41.919 --> 00:10:44.600 when we mentioned that that particular club, although they did 213 00:10:44.679 --> 00:10:47.399 name their new head coach and Javier Mascherano, who admitted 214 00:10:47.399 --> 00:10:49.600 that he had taken the job once before and then 215 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:53.320 backed out. Uh so Messi and Friends have a new 216 00:10:53.320 --> 00:10:56.279 head coach, Luis Suarez is a contract extension. They got 217 00:10:56.360 --> 00:10:58.799 to figure out how they're going to continue to navigate name, 218 00:10:58.840 --> 00:11:01.000 image and likeness in the South Cap and all those 219 00:11:01.080 --> 00:11:04.639 kinds of things that try to make another push Club 220 00:11:04.639 --> 00:11:06.799 World Cup. We'll get into that after in the next 221 00:11:06.799 --> 00:11:09.960 half hour because the pots are out, the TV partner, 222 00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:15.080 all those kinds of things. Lag Ricky Pooge, No Ricky Pooge, 223 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:19.159 because he blew out his ACL with Ris with thirty 224 00:11:19.240 --> 00:11:22.480 minutes to go and continue to play on it and 225 00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:25.120 contributed to the game winning goal for LAG over Seattle. 226 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.240 LAG's hosting. How do you think they tackle this without 227 00:11:28.279 --> 00:11:33.600 Ricky Poohe. 228 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:38.440 Can vnch like the easy answer would be Royce, but 229 00:11:38.559 --> 00:11:42.279 he also is not healthy, So I would say you're 230 00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:46.639 more likely. Like if I were to put a shilling 231 00:11:47.120 --> 00:11:51.279 or a shekel on it, I would say Diego Fagundez 232 00:11:51.360 --> 00:11:55.279 is in the eleven. He's filled in for Pooch before, 233 00:11:55.879 --> 00:11:59.519 has done a great job. MLS veteran, has been on 234 00:11:59.559 --> 00:12:04.840 this stage before. He will not be rattled by the situation. Look, 235 00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:06.799 he's not Ricky, right, nobody else is. 236 00:12:06.840 --> 00:12:09.919 But I think he would do a solid job in 237 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:10.799 that role. 238 00:12:12.120 --> 00:12:16.159 And with Red Bulls. The what we talked about with 239 00:12:16.240 --> 00:12:18.840 Tyler in the hour number one when we actually did 240 00:12:18.879 --> 00:12:22.759 talk soccer had to do with the idea that they 241 00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:25.720 are different with Emil Forsburg than without and mil Forsburg 242 00:12:25.960 --> 00:12:30.320 and this is this is a much sounder, well rounded, 243 00:12:30.399 --> 00:12:33.879 more offensively based club with Emil Forsburg kind of turning 244 00:12:33.960 --> 00:12:37.240 the screws than when they don't have him. You've got 245 00:12:37.279 --> 00:12:40.360 to see the different Red Bulls with him, yeah than 246 00:12:40.399 --> 00:12:41.200 without it. Yeah. 247 00:12:41.200 --> 00:12:43.360 And I think it's a combination, right, It's it's Forstburg 248 00:12:43.519 --> 00:12:51.240 in slight tweak tactically in the back, right like with 249 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:54.480 the five or the three center backs if you will, 250 00:12:55.000 --> 00:12:57.799 and then the two wing backs they'll push up and 251 00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:02.639 they'll press, but also they've become a lot more more 252 00:13:02.759 --> 00:13:05.080 direct in the sense where you know they're getting it 253 00:13:05.080 --> 00:13:07.159 out right away, which is more kind of we're used 254 00:13:07.200 --> 00:13:09.480 to with red bull ball. But you know they're winning 255 00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:11.440 the first and second balls in midfield and then they're 256 00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:15.080 going and now they have a Forsburg to play those 257 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:19.559 balls right, to push those balls forward. If there's a 258 00:13:19.600 --> 00:13:22.159 foul on a second ball, that's one now you've got 259 00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:25.159 Forstburg in a dangerous situation to hit a free kick. 260 00:13:25.320 --> 00:13:25.480 Right. 261 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:30.759 He also is a guy you know what do we 262 00:13:30.799 --> 00:13:34.960 associate most with Red bull soccer, right, like just one 263 00:13:35.080 --> 00:13:38.279 hundred miles an hour like NASCAR car crashes. 264 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:38.519 Right. 265 00:13:38.720 --> 00:13:41.480 Yeah, he's the guy who will put his foot on 266 00:13:41.480 --> 00:13:43.519 the brake and he'll put his foot on the ball 267 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:45.840 and slow it down when it needs to be slowed 268 00:13:45.840 --> 00:13:46.399 down too. 269 00:13:46.480 --> 00:13:50.720 So yeah, he's he's that guy. 270 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:56.000 He's the guy the fans clamored for for the front 271 00:13:56.039 --> 00:13:58.200 office to finally spend some money in the offseason. 272 00:13:58.200 --> 00:14:04.000 They did that. And another guy he won't be rattled by. 273 00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:05.919 The situation, right, Like he's played in World Cups, he's 274 00:14:05.960 --> 00:14:10.120 played on Champions League nights with with the beautiful music playing. 275 00:14:10.799 --> 00:14:15.120 He's he's you know, he's done it all. He's played 276 00:14:15.159 --> 00:14:15.759 in the boond. 277 00:14:15.559 --> 00:14:19.399 This league obviously at a high level, So I think 278 00:14:19.399 --> 00:14:21.759 a great moment for him for sure. But yeah, if 279 00:14:21.799 --> 00:14:25.799 Red Bulls are to do anything in this, Forsburg is 280 00:14:25.879 --> 00:14:30.320 going to be involved somehow, Right, He's going to play 281 00:14:29.600 --> 00:14:33.240 a big ball forward, He's gonna hit a free kick, 282 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:37.919 He's he's gonna play a factor should the Red Bulls 283 00:14:37.919 --> 00:14:40.440 pull the upset. 284 00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:44.039 And I know we'll get more into what La does 285 00:14:44.080 --> 00:14:46.080 what La is doing at given a moment, but I 286 00:14:46.120 --> 00:14:48.000 want to ask you about because it is your turf 287 00:14:48.320 --> 00:14:52.399 up there in New York, about Sandro Schwartz and not 288 00:14:52.519 --> 00:14:55.000 just getting them to this point of getting them to 289 00:14:55.039 --> 00:14:58.799 a Cup final, but the changes that were, you know, 290 00:14:58.919 --> 00:15:02.360 not just on the field, but like culturally that may 291 00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:04.559 have happened in the last year when Sandro Sports comes 292 00:15:04.559 --> 00:15:08.679 in takes over this squad and kind of it seems 293 00:15:08.720 --> 00:15:10.600 like they're more evolved in the way they played that 294 00:15:10.639 --> 00:15:13.519 It's there were moments where in the past it kind 295 00:15:13.519 --> 00:15:15.000 of felt like, hey, if you can just punt it 296 00:15:15.000 --> 00:15:17.440 down into their corner, if you're willing to just not 297 00:15:17.519 --> 00:15:19.799 have the ball, you can kind of limit them. 298 00:15:19.799 --> 00:15:21.720 But you know you talked about Forstsberg. 299 00:15:21.360 --> 00:15:24.279 Giving them, giving them that out of dimension of being 300 00:15:24.320 --> 00:15:27.440 that that game breaking player. But it feels from a 301 00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:32.080 distance like Sandro sports helped also kind of change the 302 00:15:32.200 --> 00:15:33.960 culture a bit and get things moving in the right 303 00:15:33.960 --> 00:15:34.840 direction for that club. 304 00:15:35.399 --> 00:15:38.159 Yeah, And I think to what he's done, maybe better 305 00:15:38.200 --> 00:15:44.840 than others before him, is he's given a clear plan B, right, 306 00:15:45.000 --> 00:15:46.720 or even a plan C like I mentioned right, Like 307 00:15:46.759 --> 00:15:48.440 they've gone the three in the back now, like, so 308 00:15:48.519 --> 00:15:50.879 they played one way at the start of the year 309 00:15:51.080 --> 00:15:56.240 wasn't working right, So maybe in other iterations of the 310 00:15:56.279 --> 00:15:58.679 Red Bulls, you're like, we gotta keep going. It's gonna 311 00:15:58.720 --> 00:16:02.639 it's gonna work eventually, right, And they weren't maybe comfortable 312 00:16:02.679 --> 00:16:06.240 in a plan B right. I remember Chris Armis when 313 00:16:06.240 --> 00:16:09.159 he was the head coach, was talking to me about, 314 00:16:09.519 --> 00:16:11.320 you know, trying to get the team to be more 315 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:13.639 comfortable on the ball, which is exactly what Santra Schwartz 316 00:16:13.679 --> 00:16:16.279 is doing here as well. But they weren't at the 317 00:16:16.320 --> 00:16:20.600 time because they were so used to the one way 318 00:16:20.600 --> 00:16:23.559 of playing right. So I think what Sandro has done 319 00:16:23.600 --> 00:16:29.080 is he's made this team more comfortable playing in different ways. 320 00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:31.919 And like I said of the postseason, you know it's 321 00:16:31.919 --> 00:16:34.960 been now less on the ball and more Route one 322 00:16:35.159 --> 00:16:40.039 and more first and second balls being one, and now 323 00:16:40.080 --> 00:16:42.279 a difference maker, you know, up in the attack. And 324 00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:46.240 by the way, completely nothing to do with any of that. 325 00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:50.639 But since the wall pass Wednesday, you gotta love a 326 00:16:50.720 --> 00:16:53.919 head coach in an Eastern Conference final wearing. 327 00:16:53.600 --> 00:16:54.399 A trucker hat. 328 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:58.240 Yes, oh yes, dude, when's the last time that has happened? 329 00:16:58.559 --> 00:16:58.759 Right? 330 00:16:58.879 --> 00:17:02.879 Like, coaches with trucker hats are met now one to 331 00:17:02.919 --> 00:17:04.559 o in Eastern Conference finals. 332 00:17:04.880 --> 00:17:08.720 I legitimately no, I thought it was. I legitimately thought 333 00:17:08.720 --> 00:17:10.799 it was a von Dutch litt I legitimately did. 334 00:17:11.240 --> 00:17:12.160 That was so awesome. 335 00:17:12.519 --> 00:17:15.720 And it turns out that it's an Adidas hat. Yeah, 336 00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:21.839 Adidas is making trucker hats for people. Loved it, Adidas, 337 00:17:21.839 --> 00:17:26.240 What have you done with Adidas catering to the trucker 338 00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:27.680 hat element of us? 339 00:17:27.680 --> 00:17:30.640 All I want to I want to bring in sort 340 00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:37.240 of like this over arching, big, sort of overlooking thing 341 00:17:37.240 --> 00:17:39.000 here in the final, which which I thought, at least I. 342 00:17:38.960 --> 00:17:41.039 Don't know, was interesting. Maybe you guys won't. 343 00:17:41.039 --> 00:17:47.599 But so two MLS originals right on either side of 344 00:17:47.839 --> 00:17:53.599 the two coasts. Both had a noisy neighbor come into town. 345 00:17:54.200 --> 00:17:57.799 Right. Both of those noisy neighbors then. 346 00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:04.000 Played uh better than the originals, right, and and they 347 00:18:04.039 --> 00:18:06.839 got like, you know, there's a lot of people who 348 00:18:06.839 --> 00:18:11.680 were Red Boat fans who were who were just disenfranchised. 349 00:18:11.680 --> 00:18:14.039 They were like, we're done, Like these guys are, you know, 350 00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:18.880 and they went to become ny CFC fans, and the 351 00:18:18.960 --> 00:18:21.680 and the l a f C comes in, you know, 352 00:18:22.079 --> 00:18:27.039 Vala they're playing uh sexy football and n y CFC 353 00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.119 is doing their thing. They're inside the city. L a 354 00:18:30.240 --> 00:18:32.640 f C are inside the city. These other two teams 355 00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:36.680 are in the suburbs. And they both went MLS cups. 356 00:18:36.759 --> 00:18:36.920 Right. 357 00:18:37.039 --> 00:18:42.920 So now both of these clubs, these MLS originals, are like, Christ, 358 00:18:43.000 --> 00:18:45.039 what we got to do something here, Like we've got 359 00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:48.640 to We've got to you know, become that team again 360 00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:53.160 in our area. And that's kind of like what we're 361 00:18:53.240 --> 00:18:55.039 seeing here. Obviously l a f C going for a 362 00:18:55.119 --> 00:18:59.240 record six MLS title and Red Bulls looking for their first. 363 00:18:59.279 --> 00:19:03.160 But I thought it was kind of interesting the you know, 364 00:19:03.519 --> 00:19:04.200 the journey I. 365 00:19:04.200 --> 00:19:05.200 Guess if you will. 366 00:19:06.720 --> 00:19:08.640 Off the field or I guess on the field, as well, 367 00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:10.559 but just you know, for the hearts and minds kind 368 00:19:10.599 --> 00:19:12.839 of thing in their respective areas. 369 00:19:13.039 --> 00:19:14.960 It almost sounds like a story that could be written 370 00:19:15.359 --> 00:19:20.960 almost for a website. Maybe you mentioned we talked about 371 00:19:20.960 --> 00:19:24.839 the injury situation with la g and who's probably going 372 00:19:24.880 --> 00:19:27.720 to have to be focused on so they can function, 373 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:31.200 and who the subs would be Below the radar for 374 00:19:31.480 --> 00:19:33.359 Red Bulls. I know we all sit there and the 375 00:19:33.359 --> 00:19:37.720 shiny object is Emil Forsberg. For you, who do we 376 00:19:37.759 --> 00:19:43.400 need to focus on to determine sustained success in MLS 377 00:19:43.480 --> 00:19:45.839 Cup for Red Bulls Outside of a mil Forsburg, who 378 00:19:45.880 --> 00:19:46.440 else would it be? 379 00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:51.960 Yeah, I mean, uh, I think, like I think the 380 00:19:51.960 --> 00:19:56.640 midfield is going to be really interesting. I think I 381 00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:59.920 think a Daniel Edelman is gonna is gonna have to 382 00:20:00.039 --> 00:20:02.480 to run of socks off in the midfield and and 383 00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:05.359 and really you know, help win a lot of those 384 00:20:05.400 --> 00:20:09.319 balls in the midfield and and break up you know, 385 00:20:09.359 --> 00:20:12.720 the best the best attack in MLS, right we could 386 00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:15.759 say it, or certainly in the postseason and they then 387 00:20:15.759 --> 00:20:19.720 they showed during the regular season obviously too. But I 388 00:20:19.720 --> 00:20:21.440 think he's gonna be be key. I think of John 389 00:20:21.480 --> 00:20:23.680 Tolkien as well, right, like on both sides of the ball. 390 00:20:23.720 --> 00:20:25.839 He's gonna come up as a wing back. He's gonna press. 391 00:20:27.039 --> 00:20:29.519 He's going to try to make you know, paint sale 392 00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:34.400 and pex life a living heck, and then also play 393 00:20:35.440 --> 00:20:38.920 uh incredible balls like he did to the back post 394 00:20:39.119 --> 00:20:43.079 rays right, so and and I got a shout out 395 00:20:43.640 --> 00:20:47.680 my Long Islanders man, the Neelas Brothers massive peak was strong. 396 00:20:49.200 --> 00:20:51.359 And by the way, if you guys are ever in Massapequa, 397 00:20:51.440 --> 00:20:55.599 I I don't know when that would happen.
