Speaker 1: and so we'll get into that and we'll discuss everything
Speaker 1: with our buddy Nico until about eleven oh five, and
Speaker 1: then I'll go back over what happened yesterday. We got
Speaker 1: news of the morning to get into and then staying
Speaker 1: till at least eleven fifteen, and then we'll we'll get
Speaker 1: all of that stuff moving and grooving and all is
Speaker 1: all is well, I guess, maybe considering that we actually
Speaker 1: do have a signal now when we're up and running,
Speaker 1: all right, So let's go through the gold. Early in
Speaker 1: the twenty sorry, late in the twenties, our friends with
Speaker 1: a Messian Friends and Messi and Friends had a rotated
Speaker 1: lineup last night. Let me get into the lineups for you.
Speaker 1: Atlanta was about as first choice as you can get,
Speaker 1: and the interesting aspect was that Sabo was on the left,
Speaker 1: Midanchuk was on the right. As you had the injury
Speaker 1: to Shonda Silva and that created question marks up top,
Speaker 1: So then you're wondering, Okay, what are we doing here?
Speaker 1: And we found out that that was how it was
Speaker 1: going to be. But obviously Midanchuk would drift and you know,
Speaker 1: Saba would drift, and you would have those kinds of
Speaker 1: those kinds of moments. So your lineups last night, Brad
Speaker 1: and net you're back for Pedro Amador, Derek Williams left
Speaker 1: to right, Steon and Brooks, Lennon midfield, Million Bod Dax
Speaker 1: McCarty and Bart Sleish. Alexi Midanchuk was on the right,
Speaker 1: Daniel Rios in the middle, Sabo of Genize was on
Speaker 1: the left. For Messian Friends, Messi and Friends were on
Speaker 1: the bench. It was left to right Fronto Negres, Serge
Speaker 1: chrystsov Ian, Fray, Marcelo Waigant and your midfield Benja Kramowski,
Speaker 1: Yannick Bright, David Ruiz and up top it's Robert Taylor,
Speaker 1: Leo Campagna and Julian Gressel. Subs. For Atlanta United it
Speaker 1: was Jay Fortune, Edwin Musqueta, Jamal Noah Cobb, Matt Edwards,
Speaker 1: Luisa Brom, Tyler Wolf, Luke Brennan. Do not be surprised
Speaker 1: a sidebar if you end up with Noah, Matt, Maybe Tyler,
Speaker 1: and Luke Brennan making the track up to Charlotte tonight
Speaker 1: to take on for the tuesdays they take on Charlotte
Speaker 1: Independence that one or Crown Legacy, Wow, Crown Legacy, the
Speaker 1: Crown Legacies. That pregame is going to be seven o'clock
Speaker 1: kickoff seven three at seven thirty three here on the network,
Speaker 1: So it is Crown Legacy at Landy United two on
Speaker 1: the network Tonight seven o'clock pregame, we hear from Steve Cook.
Speaker 1: It's two sections with Steve Cook, and then we get
Speaker 1: ready for everything at seven thirty three. Soccer down here
Speaker 1: dot Mixlore dot com. So do not be surprised if
Speaker 1: some of the folks on the bench, specifically Noah and
Speaker 1: Luke might make their way to Matthews tonight and Landy
Speaker 1: United two and Crown Legacy bench for Horey Teeler. Because
Speaker 1: Tato Martino had yellow cart accumulation, Messi Alba Redondo, Ryan
Speaker 1: Sailor Luis Suarez, your backup keeper was Oscar Ustadi Lawson
Speaker 1: Sunderland was the one position player that did not make
Speaker 1: an appearance last night, so lost in Sunderland on the trip,
Speaker 1: and he'll be heading north after practice today, which apparently
Speaker 1: is going to be at the Children's Self Care of
Speaker 1: Atlanta training ground, so they're hanging out an extra day.
Speaker 1: They're going to practice today, get in a little region,
Speaker 1: and then head north to New York. So that's your
Speaker 1: lineups and so that's where we are. So then in
Speaker 1: the twenties, you end up with a goal for at
Speaker 1: Land United, sorry a goal against Atlanta United, David Ruiz scoring.
Speaker 1: You had a couple of defenders collapse, creating a two
Speaker 1: on one. Three ball gets behind all three players. Ruiz
Speaker 1: is open between two defenders, puts it in the net
Speaker 1: and it's one nil. So that's where we are, and
Speaker 1: that's where we were at the half. After that, Atlanta
Speaker 1: United would get the equalized and here's how it was
Speaker 1: called from our friends at ninety two nine the game
Speaker 1: in the Odyssey app some guy named Saba with the
Speaker 1: equalize on.
Speaker 3: The middle of center spot to the front side of
Speaker 3: the center circle, Upsida Headtometo or a good ball in
Speaker 3: the left corner of the eighteen.
Speaker 4: He sends it to the Pali spot header start.
Speaker 1: What's it all? You all? It's a sabotage.
Speaker 5: Another goal of this match that comes out of absolutely nowhere.
Speaker 3: Somehow though we're even at one.
Speaker 1: So we're at one one and that did not last long.
Speaker 1: Foul called just outside the eighteen, right off the edge
Speaker 1: of the d. Atlanta had five in the wall and
Speaker 1: Saba below. Wanna say it eventually evolved into six in
Speaker 1: the wall, Saba blocking on the ground level, and this
Speaker 1: gave Inner Miami the two one league. Hey, you could
Speaker 1: stand on the end of the wall. Can't do that now,
Speaker 1: You've got to be a certain distance away.
Speaker 3: So Taylor is standing over the ball, and then behind
Speaker 3: it is Campana.
Speaker 1: I wonder if you're gonna see a little misdirection here.
Speaker 3: Now it's Taylor to the left and Compana to the rank.
Speaker 3: Compana is up to it. It goes for call deflected
Speaker 3: in Well, that didn't take long to one Miami.
Speaker 1: It was to one Miami, and from there the game
Speaker 1: gets wide open. Some guy named Messi comes in with
Speaker 1: about thirty to go, and it seemed like from that
Speaker 1: moment the game just ended up being street racing. I
Speaker 1: mean literally, you pulled the governor out of the golf cart.
Speaker 1: You're going down one way, you're heading back the other way.
Speaker 1: Game gets wide open and everybody's chasing. You're trying to
Speaker 1: catch up, and your head's on a swivel and you're
Speaker 1: trying to catch up and keep up with everything. It
Speaker 1: was nuts. The final thirty minutes was played at seventy
Speaker 1: eight RPM, and that is a reference for those of
Speaker 1: us of a certain vintage. Basically, what that means is
Speaker 1: is that the record was playing really fast and you
Speaker 1: end up and there are two versions of this that
Speaker 1: I want to play, the equalizer and eventual you know,
Speaker 1: game finale at two to two. There are two versions
Speaker 1: of this that I want to play. I want to
Speaker 1: start with Mike and Jason's version once again. Here at
Speaker 1: ninety two to nine, the game in the obbit on
Speaker 1: the Odyssey app So here is your equalizer and a
Speaker 1: moment for Atlanta United fans.
Speaker 5: On the far touch line with Atlanta, Amador blocks a
Speaker 5: shot on the goal line and then starts the attack
Speaker 5: with a wonderful ball off the throw Moronchick right corner
Speaker 5: of the eighteen shot.
Speaker 1: All lots of.
Speaker 4: Troup Russia with Wompjana Colosso to open your MLS A
Speaker 4: cadillacsy Moron juckets.
Speaker 1: To two and so it's to two and that would
Speaker 1: be the eventual that would be your eventual final. But
Speaker 1: there's a different version that I want to play, and
Speaker 1: it lends itself to what Jason said at the beginning
Speaker 1: of the ninety two nine call and how the play
Speaker 1: actually developed, and as we continue to see how Pedro
Speaker 1: Amador continues to become accustomed to what is ask of him.
Speaker 1: It left back and get acquainted with everybody and all
Speaker 1: of their uh and all of their uh uh wants,
Speaker 1: desires and needs. But it was a moment of defense
Speaker 1: from Pedro Amador that started the whole thing. This is
Speaker 1: the long version and it's Jake and t t courtesy
Speaker 1: of Apple TV and MLS. Here was how the play
Speaker 1: play started. Here's Jacin Bright.
Speaker 6: Jordy Alba Suarez, Negrit, chance to serve Negre looking for
Speaker 6: Messi Sleish was there?
Speaker 1: Back to Negri now Messi.
Speaker 2: Then's Messy saved.
Speaker 7: Swarez.
Speaker 2: Funny had his eighteenth of the.
Speaker 6: Year denied by Atlanta.
Speaker 1: Who are still in it. I'm a door wonderful ball
Speaker 1: as Scaup.
Speaker 2: Charain in the.
Speaker 1: Metal Miran Sha come back of the charee. You didn't
Speaker 1: get all of it, must scare up.
Speaker 6: Blocked by Jordi Alba still in play. Jordi Alba kept
Speaker 6: that from being a corner will be a throw for
Speaker 6: Atlanta and to end at Mercedes Benz.
Speaker 1: Lennon Miron choke mirono mm hmm. And I'm gonna do
Speaker 1: this because that's what uh, that's what those of you
Speaker 1: in attendance last night did for us in the press box,
Speaker 1: those of you who are watching it is a it
Speaker 1: is a goosebump check and understandably so. I mean it was,
Speaker 1: you know, as the team as it Land United was
Speaker 1: chasing and chasing and chasing in that final thirty minutes. Yes,
Speaker 1: obviously there was the huge pop for uh Liono Messi
Speaker 1: when he came in, huge pop for when Leo Sware
Speaker 1: when the Luisuarez came in. I get it, trust me,
Speaker 1: I understand it. Getting a chance to see those guys
Speaker 1: come into your building. And I will say that there
Speaker 1: were a couple of dudes for Atlanta United that just
Speaker 1: thought of those individuals as oh dude with the ball.
Speaker 1: Maybe after the match they had a couple of minutes
Speaker 1: to sit there and sit down and go man. But
Speaker 1: Jay Fortune and Bart Sleish specifically, in trying to track
Speaker 1: down lion O, Messi kept him pretty much in check.
Speaker 1: And there were moments where Messi was trying to do
Speaker 1: some magic and I know it was two on five
Speaker 1: at points and Messi, you know, most of the time
Speaker 1: he'll sit there and he'll take it and he'll run.
Speaker 1: But I got to give a tip of the hat
Speaker 1: to Jay Fortune. I got to give a tip of
Speaker 1: the hat to Bart's Sleish for when Messi wanted to
Speaker 1: charge inside the eighteen he got stopped. Stan gregorson Derek Williams,
Speaker 1: the whole bit. But Ja Fortune specifically Jay Fortune, and
Speaker 1: Rob mentioned it after the Rob Valentino mentioned it after
Speaker 1: the match. You know, as Jay continues to get more games,
Speaker 1: get more reps, you're seeing the Jay Fortune that Atlanda
Speaker 1: United saw in Jay Fortune. So the the the numbers
Speaker 1: and let me get the numbers. On Linol. Messi came
Speaker 1: in for thirty and came in for Julian Gressel. So
Speaker 1: twenty nine minutes XG plus x A was a point
Speaker 1: twenty four one shot on target, one shot blocked, one
Speaker 1: dribble attempt successful, latitude, twenty eight, touches eighteen to twenty,
Speaker 1: passing one long ball one of three on his ground duels,
Speaker 1: lost possession five times. That was Messi in twenty nine minutes.
Speaker 1: Then Luis Suarez comes in, gives you ten coming in
Speaker 1: for Campana. In that ten minutes, Suarez had the one
Speaker 1: shot on target, so his XG plus x A, his
Speaker 1: ops was a point four to eight unsuccessful dribble attempt,
Speaker 1: one big chance miss, ten touches five or six, passing
Speaker 1: zero for two on ground duels, lost possession twice, got
Speaker 1: fouled once. So that was Louis Suarez on the night.
Speaker 1: And so obviously tomorrow will look at minutes for Atlanta
Speaker 1: United going forward and how it would look against Red Bulls.
Speaker 1: But once again, this is where your ted. This is
Speaker 1: where you sit there, you're raising and you sit there
Speaker 1: and go yeah, yeah, coach, I can go just ask
Speaker 1: a guy like Saba love Janeza. So Saba, and I
Speaker 1: mean this in the most incredibly flattering way possible. He
Speaker 1: left it all out there last night. I mean he
Speaker 1: was he was running his ass off, and if you
Speaker 1: caught the interview with the Hoff after the match, Saba,
Speaker 1: it's like, you know, five matches left and I'm paraphrasing,
Speaker 1: but five left, and we're gonna try and we're gonna
Speaker 1: try our hardest to get into the playoffs. But Saba
Speaker 1: left it all out there last night and his his
Speaker 1: better half was having a birthday, so he scores on
Speaker 1: her birthday. Saba last night in the full, ninety minutes
Speaker 1: one shot on target, two shots off, two shots blocked,
Speaker 1: one dribble attempt successful, forty eight touches, twenty three to
Speaker 1: twenty eight, passing eighty two percent, had the one long
Speaker 1: ball won, the one duel on the ground won one
Speaker 1: to one duel in the air, which was the goal.
Speaker 1: And so that was Saba last night. Punched a seven
Speaker 1: point three with his goal on the board. By the way,
Speaker 1: Midanchuk punched an eight point one courtesy of our friends
Speaker 1: at Sofa score and ninety minutes one goal XG ofzo
Speaker 1: point one seven, so his ops was a point five
Speaker 1: to two XG plus xa shots on target, one two
Speaker 1: off target, one blocked, had one dribble attempt successful, fifty
Speaker 1: three touches thirty one to thirty eight, passing at eighty
Speaker 1: two percent, three key passes, two for five on crosses,
Speaker 1: three of four on his long balls, one big chance
Speaker 1: created one to one duel on the ground, and that
Speaker 1: was Alexi Mitonchuk. And one of the things that I
Speaker 1: thought was telling about Miranchuk last night was once he scored,
Speaker 1: he's calling for everybody to dog pile. He's he's outside
Speaker 1: the eighteen and he's looking around and you see him go.
Speaker 1: You see him call everybody into the pile. He wants
Speaker 1: to celebrate with everyone. I mean, the man had a
Speaker 1: big night. First off, he got to meet Offset. I
Speaker 1: don't know who Offset is, but I'll take it that
Speaker 1: Offset is one of Midanchuk's favorite artists. And Offset got
Speaker 1: to hammer the golden spike. But the fact that Alexi
Speaker 1: Midonchuk got to meet Offset and then finishes the night
Speaker 1: with the equalizing goal, I mean, am five nine. He
Speaker 1: had a busy night. He had a busy night, but
Speaker 1: he calls everyone into the dogpile and he wants to
Speaker 1: celebrate with everyone. And then once everyone is back to centerline,
Speaker 1: he's the one who's going like this. You see him actually,
Speaker 1: you know, waving folks forward and getting everybody engaged and
Speaker 1: all that kind of stuff with the amount of time
Speaker 1: that was left after he scored. So I thought that
Speaker 1: that was I thought it was interesting. I thought it
Speaker 1: was cool that he's instigating all of this togetherness already
Speaker 1: and he's reminding folks, hey, we still got work to
Speaker 1: do all that kind of stuff. So I thought that
Speaker 1: that was really cool with me, the unschuke after he
Speaker 1: scored last night. So that was how it ended with it.
Speaker 1: Lanta United and Messian friends. Like I said, Messi and friends.
Speaker 1: The word is that they're going to get in some
Speaker 1: region today at Children of South Carolina training ground, and
Speaker 1: then they're gonna fly up to New York because they've
Speaker 1: got the early game on Saturday against NYCFC. So you know,
Speaker 1: if you just apply simple math to things, I would
Speaker 1: probably sit here and say, Okay, the dudes that came
Speaker 1: in off the bench, they're going to be the ones
Speaker 1: who are starting in the early game on Saturday for
Speaker 1: Inner Miami. But for Atlanta United, it's what can you
Speaker 1: give me? How many minutes can you go? Yes, coach,
Speaker 1: I'm good to go. I'm ready to play. And so
Speaker 1: that's that's what you know, I'm anticipating with all of
Speaker 1: that kind of activity that you have. So after last night,
Speaker 1: if I could type standings after last night, and like
Speaker 1: I said, we'll go over all of the other stuff
Speaker 1: and once again, whatever's on your mind. See had a
Speaker 1: lot a bit of a chakra last night. We'll catch
Speaker 1: up with Nico about that coming around ten thirty. But
Speaker 1: last night New England MONTREALI to two draw Philadelphia five
Speaker 1: to one over NYCFC and that was the shaker of
Speaker 1: the evening. It was three nil at the break, barbbo
Speaker 1: Uha and Gozdogs scoring for Philadelphia. So Rich Ransom had
Speaker 1: a good night at Yankee Stadium. So five to one Philly,
Speaker 1: and now NYC has to turn around and play Messi
Speaker 1: and Friends. In the early game on Saturday, Cruz shut
Speaker 1: out Toronto FC. That helped out Atlanty United two nil.
Speaker 1: Purple Team beat Charlotte two nil. And what Jarrett has
Speaker 1: continued to say about Charlotte continues to have its you know,
Speaker 1: to have the prophecy continue have not won in two months,
Speaker 1: well everyone once, I think once once since August in
Speaker 1: MLS competition. They won in League's Cup. Charlotte continues their
Speaker 1: slow fade. The irony that it was the Purple team
Speaker 1: that beat him last night at inter Co two nil, Houston,
Speaker 1: Vancouver won one. Kansas City put four on Colorado, winning
Speaker 1: that one four to one. FC Cincinnati beat Minnesota two
Speaker 1: to one. Nashville shut out Chicago in a bit of
Speaker 1: a stunner one nil, although it was at giotis So
Speaker 1: BJ Callahan's wind streak is now at two. Salt Lake
Speaker 1: three two over Dallas in a crazy one at Rio
Speaker 1: tinto LAFC and Austin a bit of a surprise a
Speaker 1: one one draw there. So Austin gets into LA and
Speaker 1: leaves with a point. As anticipated in our conversations with
Speaker 1: Dylan Butler yesterday, Dylan was like, yeah, take the take
Speaker 1: the over. He's the eleven gold banger. He was half right.
Speaker 1: And we also because the juice boxes only ran out
Speaker 1: at five and a half, which was I think it
Speaker 1: was a plus. It was a plus nine thousand or something.
Speaker 1: If you had taken plus five and a half, you
Speaker 1: would have gone out really well. Portland b LA four
Speaker 1: to two in a game that was nuts, and Seattle
Speaker 1: and San Jose too too. Like I said, we'll get
Speaker 1: into the Western Conference with Nico and we'll work backward
Speaker 1: with Nico. But we'll start Western Conference with Nico about
Speaker 1: ten thirty or ten thirty five. So standings and how
Speaker 1: things are. Miami once again eight points clear. Columbus with
Speaker 1: a match in hand, would only close it to seven
Speaker 1: if they were to win that match in hand. So
Speaker 1: Miami sixty three. Since he fifty five Crew at fifty three,
Speaker 1: they're in. Then the chaos starts. Orlando at forty three,
Speaker 1: two more wins than Red Bulls. Red Bulls are now
Speaker 1: in fifth, NYC in sixth. They've got a little elbowroom,
Speaker 1: but not a lot. Forty points three behind Red Bulls,
Speaker 1: two ahead of Charlotte. Charlotte has just been Charlotte's at
Speaker 1: thirty eight. Charlotte's coming back to the pack. Toronto's at
Speaker 1: thirty six, Philly's at thirty three, but Toronto's also played
Speaker 1: thirty matches. They've only got four left, so everyone behind
Speaker 1: Toronto's got a match in hand. Philly twenty nine matches,
Speaker 1: thirty three points, eight wins, same record as d C,
Speaker 1: better in goal difference by nineteen goals. That's why DC
Speaker 1: is ten, Philly is nine. Atlanta's at thirty two eight wins,
Speaker 1: same record as Nashville, better goal difference by eleven goals.
Speaker 1: Montreal is thirteenth at thirty one, Chicago is fourteenth at
Speaker 1: twenty nine. New England is twenty eight matches twenty eight points.
Speaker 1: So the get in right now to be the nine
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference, you have five teams except while
Speaker 1: you have if you include Philly, seven teams separated by
Speaker 1: five points, to get into the playoffs and be the nine.
Speaker 1: That's where you are in the Eastern Conference right now,
Speaker 1: and you have that to look into as you look
Speaker 1: forward into the matchups this weekend. NYC hosting Miami, they're
Speaker 1: the early, Charlotte hosting New England at four, so New
Speaker 1: England can do some damage in the afternoon and draw
Speaker 1: Charlotte back to the pack a little bit. Columbus hosting
Speaker 1: Purple Team. And I know that here it's no skin
Speaker 1: off anybody's nose. If you root for Crew Montreal in Chicago,
Speaker 1: affects the folks behind you, Red Bulls in Atlanta once again.
Speaker 1: Seven forty kick, seven thirty listings, seven forty kick on
Speaker 1: season pass, Nashville hosting Cincinnati. That affects what's going on
Speaker 1: around you. That's at eight forty on season Pass. And
Speaker 1: then everything else is West Coast. You have Philly in
Speaker 1: d C as a game on Sunday. Once again, that
Speaker 1: affects folks around you, so you take care of your
Speaker 1: own on the road. You get to keep an eye
Speaker 1: on Philly and d C in addition to everything else.
Speaker 1: But you'll be in a hotel room or probably on
Speaker 1: your Actually you might be in your own bed just
Speaker 1: rolling out of the rack at six fifteen on Sunday. Wow, No,
Speaker 1: you'll be in. You will have been in your own bed.
Speaker 1: You'll have slept late. You've gone in for region. You've
Speaker 1: got Philly in d C six well, and it's listed
Speaker 1: at six fifteen, but we know it's going to be
Speaker 1: six twenty five. That's on the free side of Apple
Speaker 1: TVNFS one, so that's what you're staring at. Then you
Speaker 1: get days off to get ready to the regular schedule,
Speaker 1: and then with Atlanta, it's that trip to Philly on
Speaker 1: the twenty eighth. So that is where things stand right now,
Speaker 1: involving Atlanta, everyone around them, and all the chaos that's attached.
Speaker 1: Our buddy at Nino Tortois, who's ready to come in
Speaker 1: fully loaded. Here's his shopping list as we go. Robertadors
Speaker 1: suit Americana the Champions League and he actually likes the
Speaker 1: new format. So this will give us a chance to
Speaker 1: get into the matches that have happened so far in
Speaker 1: preview what happens today, Yo Koresh and Sporting a CP
Speaker 1: Portugal revolution. Remember he had talked about Victor Jo Koresh
Speaker 1: and what he has meant to Sporting's revival in Portugal.
Speaker 1: We'll get into that. And of course is Universitario and
Speaker 1: to a championship on their one hundred year anniversary. He
Speaker 1: got a bonus track from last night and he ends
Speaker 1: it this way, fully loaded baby, So it's going to
Speaker 1: be a full half hour with Nino Tortois coming up
Speaker 1: in just a little bit. FIFA has come out with
Speaker 1: their rankings of folks in the Americas, shocking No. One.
Speaker 1: Argentina is at number one, Bracila is at five, Columbia
Speaker 1: is nine, Uruguay eleven, Mexico ahead of the US M
Speaker 1: and T seventeen and eighteen. Okay, Ecuador twenty seven, Panama
Speaker 1: thirty seven, Canada. I was about to say Canadia, Canada
Speaker 1: thirty eight. Venezuela Lamas, Venezuela there at forty. Padu is
Speaker 1: at forty three, and this is something we'll get into
Speaker 1: Nico with Nino about as well. Chile at forty nine,
Speaker 1: Coast Eka fifty, Paraguay fifty seven, Jamaica sixty one. In
Speaker 1: Honduras is at seventy seven. So those are your those
Speaker 1: are your new FIFA rankings for teams in the Americas.
Speaker 1: So let's say hi to everybody before Nino joins us
Speaker 1: at the top of the hour. Morning Alex, Morning Abby.
Speaker 1: Let's see morning David, Let's see morning Michael. Morning. Four Card.
Speaker 1: I don't four Card. I don't know if it's going
Speaker 1: to be a three hour show because, like I said,
Speaker 1: we came in late because technology was drinking affinated coffee
Speaker 1: this morning. Literally, I kept the way that this works,
Speaker 1: and I know that this is probably too much information
Speaker 1: that you really care about. But traditionally, you set up
Speaker 1: a show and it's as easy as clicking a button
Speaker 1: and it brings you into the studio space and then
Speaker 1: I get I get a mirrored shot of myself in
Speaker 1: the camera, and I can, you know, go into the
Speaker 1: studio space, get everything triggered, and then we're off and
Speaker 1: running and we can go. I kept hitting the log
Speaker 1: in to get into the studio space and it wouldn't
Speaker 1: come up. It's like, check your connection on the Internet.
Speaker 1: And I'm looking at you know, multiple monitors and things,
Speaker 1: and I know that since the large television device that's
Speaker 1: off to my left is also attached to our Internet,
Speaker 1: it's on monitors on this is not as I point
Speaker 1: forward and let you know what I'm talking about. So
Speaker 1: I kept clicking into the studio space literally for like
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes, check your Internet connection or let us know,
Speaker 1: And so then I end up hitting you know, the
Speaker 1: second that I ask for technical assistance. Then that's when
Speaker 1: it triggered and ran actually four card let me see.
Speaker 1: I mean the eleven o'clock hour for me is pretty clean,
Speaker 1: although I do have some editing to do this afternoon
Speaker 1: before we have a Crown Legacy and the two's on
Speaker 1: the network tonight. Like I said, we're going we're going
Speaker 1: to eleven fifteen because I came on at nine to fifteen.
Speaker 1: We're doing the two hours that much. I do know
Speaker 1: we might have some conversation just to round it off
Speaker 1: to eleven thirty. We'll see three hour show no, because
Speaker 1: I got to save the pipes for at Land United
Speaker 1: two later tonight on the network. So we'll be in
Speaker 1: that you know, we'll be in that neighborhood. We'll be
Speaker 1: like eleven thirty ish before we go. If we had
Speaker 1: anything going on like the good old days. Perhaps there
Speaker 1: is a certain amount of parking and travel. Lament Alex
Speaker 1: picked up his cousin in East Cobb at six, didn't
Speaker 1: park until seven thirty five, in five minutes to into
Speaker 1: the building. It was a seven forty start. Twenty of
Speaker 1: those minutes spent waiting to turn right into the blue
Speaker 1: lot well full disclosure. With Maddie and Sophia. It took
Speaker 1: them an hour and fifteen minutes to get three the
Speaker 1: last three miles so and they got stuck with the
Speaker 1: Greyhound Galacticos going in the opposite lane trying to get
Speaker 1: into the building. And by the way, by the way,
Speaker 1: oh Scarf, there we go, New Scarf and resurgence and
Speaker 1: all that. By the way, I don't know how many
Speaker 1: of you come in from the eastern part of the
Speaker 1: Metro Atlanta area. This is a public service announcement for
Speaker 1: those of you who want to come into Mercedes Been
Speaker 1: Stadium for whatever event. Falcons Travis Kelce's girlfriend, because I
Speaker 1: think she's got to show this weekend or early next
Speaker 1: week the lovely, talented and ever powerful Taylor Swift. If
Speaker 1: you're coming from the east side of town and you're
Speaker 1: not coming in on the freeway and you're coming in
Speaker 1: to Cab Avenue, don't or when you get to say
Speaker 1: the King Library, work away from that straight shot down
Speaker 1: to Cab Avenue, because when you get when you cross
Speaker 1: the connector, when you come over the downtown Connector and
Speaker 1: you get into the Georgia State University Grady Hospital area,
Speaker 1: there is major road construction, and I mean major, major, major, major,
Speaker 1: major major, I mean enough to anger everybody. Traditionally those
Speaker 1: lanes are one in, one out in a turn lane.
Speaker 1: Then when you get into Georgia State it's you know,
Speaker 1: you have traffic, you know, cement and things like that,
Speaker 1: but it's still basically three lanes until you get into
Speaker 1: the Georgia State campus and it's two. By then the
Speaker 1: problem's gone. But in the stretch between Grady Hospital and
Speaker 1: the one way street that comes from the Capitol and
Speaker 1: turns into Piedmont Avenue, three lanes turn into basically one
Speaker 1: in three quarters because they've taken the middle lane, the
Speaker 1: turn lane, and turned it into their construction area they're fixing.
Speaker 1: I guess the pipes. Maybe it's infrastructure week with the
Speaker 1: City of Atlanta, I don't know. But coming in onto
Speaker 1: cab Avenue literally you're having to scale curbs and go
Speaker 1: into driveways coming out of parking decks on the Georgia
Speaker 1: State Campus to work around them. And they have cops posted,
Speaker 1: so you're not able to really turn when you want
Speaker 1: to turn, or go straight when you want to go
Speaker 1: straight until further notice. And I'll probably end up being
Speaker 1: the guinea pig for most of this. If you're coming
Speaker 1: from the eastern part of town, when you get to
Speaker 1: Grady Hospital, find another way to get to the stadium
Speaker 1: because straight shot for that one block was fifteen minutes
Speaker 1: of me sitting waiting because of construction and cops and
Speaker 1: turn lanes and all that. So when you get to Grady,
Speaker 1: find another way to get around it and get into
Speaker 1: the building. So public service announcement brought to you by
Speaker 1: me Ropes Midanchuk did not look good on the right,
Speaker 1: and it might have been out of necessity. And also
Speaker 1: you know you're going to have situations because remember Shandi
Speaker 1: was injured, so you didn't have a whole lot of
Speaker 1: presents on the left hand side. Saba has played on
Speaker 1: the left. Midanchuk has played there, but not played played
Speaker 1: Saba we know has drifted off to the left and
Speaker 1: has switched sides in the past. With whomever's on the
Speaker 1: left hand side, he's helped, you know, tilt the field
Speaker 1: and do those kinds of things we've seen Saba on
Speaker 1: the left, it might have been just straight out of necessity.
Speaker 1: So having Midanchuk as a bit of an activator on
Speaker 1: the right hand side to set up that left foot.
Speaker 1: As we saw with the goal, you see the positional
Speaker 1: gravity that Alexi Midanchuk brings. In only a few matches,
Speaker 1: you see how defenses are gravitating to am five to
Speaker 1: nine who is six ' three, so everyone drifts toward
Speaker 1: Midanchuk to try and neutralize him. That creates opportunities for others.
Speaker 1: And the way that Midanchuk plays instead of you know,
Speaker 1: charging in two on five or charging and trying to
Speaker 1: get past defenders considering that he's a guy that wants
Speaker 1: to pass and get it back. You have that kind
Speaker 1: of quick activity. People close, find your opening, find your open, dude,
Speaker 1: get out of trouble, get the return, keep going that's
Speaker 1: what that's what you could anticipate coming forward with metn Chuk.
Speaker 1: But yeah, Pedro Amador, let me get into Amador's numbers.
Speaker 1: Amador last night, and like I said, we played the
Speaker 1: long version. I played the long version of the equalizer
Speaker 1: on purpose because of what we're seeing from Pedro Amador
Speaker 1: on the left as a left back. And that damn
Speaker 1: bandage over his left eye continues to just make me crazy,
Speaker 1: continues to drive me nuts. So last night, Pedro Amador
Speaker 1: a seven point nine on the left, Derek Is seven,
Speaker 1: oh Stiana seven to two, brooks A seven to one,
Speaker 1: Brad A seven, Tristan mulliam Ba six point three, Daksa
Speaker 1: six point seven, bart A seven to one. We mentioned
Speaker 1: Sabas seven point three, Daniel rios A six point seven,
Speaker 1: miton chukin eight point one. Pedro Amador with his seven
Speaker 1: point nine last night. Here's Pedro's numbers. Ninety four minutes
Speaker 1: had the one a xa ofo point one, one one clearance,
Speaker 1: one block, four picks, one tackle, wonderuble past one clearance
Speaker 1: off the line, three of five on ground duels, one
Speaker 1: to two in the air, so four for seven in
Speaker 1: his duels last night. Fouled twice, sixty three touches, forty
Speaker 1: of forty four, passing at ninety one percent, one key pass,
Speaker 1: one cross, three of four on long balls. That's what
Speaker 1: you got from Pedro Amador last night. And that clearance
Speaker 1: off the line, remember that clearance, and it was a
Speaker 1: clearance where as he was looking and you see him
Speaker 1: look over his shoulder. He looks over his shoulder and
Speaker 1: is on the line and clears it on the line,
Speaker 1: directing it to a teammate to start to break the
Speaker 1: other way, which eventually creates the equalizer to make it
Speaker 1: two too. And once again Rob made a pot point
Speaker 1: in the postgame press conference where we were all discussing
Speaker 1: the goal, Rob made a point to dial it back
Speaker 1: to go to the beginning of the play and and
Speaker 1: UH mentioned Pedro's effort for being there to clear the
Speaker 1: ball off the line to start the break and come
Speaker 1: back the other way. But yeah, Pedromedor last night is
Speaker 1: seven point nine. He was second on the grade scale
Speaker 1: courtesy of our friends at SOFA score Midon chukin eight
Speaker 1: point one and he scored Pedro Amador a seven point nine.
Speaker 1: And you heard all the different categories that Pedro affected
Speaker 1: play last night by the way Jay seven to Edwin
Speaker 1: Musquada six and Jamala six point six, Cohen Cobb, Matt Edwards,
Speaker 1: Luisa brom Tyler Wolf, Luke Brennan did not play Sean
Speaker 1: day out with the foot, Quinton Westburg out with concussion
Speaker 1: protocol and Ronald Hernandez out. If you have not like
Speaker 1: on your lunch hour today, do me a favor on
Speaker 1: your lunch hour today. Go to soccer down here, dot
Speaker 1: Nette and check out the Ronald Hernandez piece. Very very
Speaker 1: cool piece that that was done with with Maddie and
Speaker 1: Jason catching up with Ronald. Go to soccer down here,
Speaker 1: dot Nette and catch up the the Ronald Hernandez piece.
Speaker 1: And ropes would like to see Brenna over Musketa more often.
Speaker 1: I mean a lot of folks, Yeah, I mean Edwin.
Speaker 1: Like I said, Edwin runs like the new the new,
Speaker 1: the newborn calf. And he also runs like he needs
Speaker 1: to go see a break specialist, and you know doesn't
Speaker 1: know how to stop. But hey, you bring in Edwin,
Speaker 1: you have him run for run like hell. And I
Speaker 1: think last night to me anyway, was exposure to why
Speaker 1: I don't think my that MESSI and friends win an
Speaker 1: MLS Cup. I still think it's Columbus. I think still,
Speaker 1: I still think Columbus comes out of the East. It's
Speaker 1: those last thirty minutes to me that show why I
Speaker 1: think it's gonna be Columbus and not Messy. In Friends,
Speaker 1: Morning Nicks, like I said, Morning Next Morning, Abby, Abby
Speaker 1: says that she'd wish those who ask her player the
Speaker 1: match would give a defensive player just choice one, so
Speaker 1: Abby will be back for the final fifteen minutes. Michael
Speaker 1: Head Morning, Hutch, Morning Hutch, Morning David. David took Marta.
Speaker 1: Let's see Morning Michael, Morning David. You guys are still
Speaker 1: talking about Marta. Yeah, Nick's Andamendor did it all with
Speaker 1: a big ass bandage on his head. Big ass bandage
Speaker 1: on his head he did. Like I said, that bandage
Speaker 1: over his left eye drives me damn nuts, just because
Speaker 1: of what we talked about Monday and Tuesday and Wednesday,
Speaker 1: probably about why that bandage is there, and Pedro had
Speaker 1: to kind of sit there and he had to kind
Speaker 1: of mash it down so it didn't fall off, so
Speaker 1: he wouldn't have to leave and get more treatment on
Speaker 1: it and get the the uh. The Revolutionary War band
Speaker 1: bandage attached to it. The only thing missing would be
Speaker 1: the fife and the drum at that point. But that
Speaker 1: was yeah, Saturday night, the only thing missing was the
Speaker 1: fife and the drum. With Pedro Amador and Emelio pointing
Speaker 1: out after forty ish for the final fifty minutes, XG
Speaker 1: was point eight. I mean, look, that might have been
Speaker 1: the case. You take it, you take it, you learn
Speaker 1: from it. If it was point oh eight, you came
Speaker 1: out of there with the point teams around. You didn't
Speaker 1: last night. You're still right in the middle of the
Speaker 1: pack trying to chase after the nine and really you
Speaker 1: got four matches left and with Charlotte going, I don't.
Speaker 7: Know, Charlotte has not won. Charlotte has won once in
Speaker 7: the last two months, once in the last two months.
Speaker 7: Keep an eye on all of that. Keep an eye
Speaker 7: on all of it.
Speaker 1: After Nino and after Nico, we do have to talk
Speaker 1: about Manchester City because once again, like I said, and
Speaker 1: we'll get into the Champions League coming up with Nino
Speaker 1: in just a little bit. But there's a talk of punch.
Speaker 1: Like I said, we're in the we're in the ten
Speaker 1: week tribunal of the Trial of the Century this week
Speaker 1: for the next ten weeks. We will be involved in
Speaker 1: the Trial of the Century this week involving Manchester City.
Speaker 1: There's talk of unprecedented punishments. Like I said, we'll get
Speaker 1: into well, actually tell you well, because I'll circle back
Speaker 1: to it if we have time with Nino. But obviously
Speaker 1: we'll talk about it after Nico at eleven oh five,
Speaker 1: when we wrap up the show and go over everything
Speaker 1: else that's happened. To catch you up on the news
Speaker 1: of yesterday. But yeah, there's talk of like unprecedented published punishments.
Speaker 1: So we'll get into that hutch for my money, both
Speaker 1: Miami and Columbus or the teams we want for serious
Speaker 1: rivalries right now, am High, bring it, bring it, bring
Speaker 1: it absolutely, am High, think air Force and Michael's mentioning
Speaker 1: all the teams around. Let's see, so you mentioned where
Speaker 1: Atlanta is, Yeah, I mean everybody from nine to fifteen
Speaker 1: seven or eight wins, but I mean and going into
Speaker 1: the year, and you go u a little further. Charlotte's
Speaker 1: got ten, but they've had ten for a while, NYC's
Speaker 1: got eleven, Red Bulls have ten, Orlando's only got twelve,
Speaker 1: and I think that that speaks more of the competitive
Speaker 1: nature of the Eastern Conference in Major League Soccer more
Speaker 1: than anything else. And a man who knows about the
Speaker 1: Eastern Conference of Major League Soccer, he is properly hydrated,
Speaker 1: I believe. And it's time to go fully loaded with
Speaker 1: our man. We're gonna go live to Peru. I love
Speaker 1: to say that, by the way, fully loaded, brother.

Speaker 1: is something really special with a dude that was in
Speaker 1: the Championship and lightened it up at Coventry City who
Speaker 1: is now lighting it up in Portugal and doing really
Speaker 1: good stuff for sporting. It is the Victor Jokuesh universe,

Speaker 2: a big baseball fan, if you know, I'm a big, big,
Speaker 2: big baseball fan.
Speaker 1: But you bring up my you bring up my boy Otani.
Speaker 1: I'm an Angels fan, and so for me to see Showy, well,
Speaker 1: all right, so baseball down here, which normally runs it
Speaker 1: like three on Wednesday mornings, he was a part Otani
Speaker 1: and Trout fantastic, love love it, love it. So Otani
Speaker 1: is gonna be a free agent. Our owner is more
Speaker 1: than happy to just spend bad money over bad money.
Speaker 1: RTI moreno. And so we're right there at the end
Speaker 1: of the trade window and we're kind of hanging out
Speaker 1: in the wildcard race at the time they decide, no,
Speaker 1: we're gonna hang on to Showy Otani at the end
Speaker 1: of his contract and then not then not get anything
Speaker 1: for him. Literally literally, we're gonna hang on to the guy,
Speaker 1: and then we're gonna even add more people and not
Speaker 1: trade Otani knowing he's gonna be a free agent at
Speaker 1: the end of the year and he's probably gonna walk,
Speaker 1: and he eventually did, and we knew he was gonna
Speaker 1: go up the five Freeway to go be with the Dodgers.
Speaker 1: And then so what happens Otani gets injured. The dudes
Speaker 1: that they bring in they let some of them go
Speaker 1: in a salary dump thirty days later because we sucked
Speaker 1: and didn't get into the wild Card. We're like three
Speaker 1: and ten on the run in and just blew it
Speaker 1: all up. Otani leaves, goes up the five to the Dodgers,
Speaker 1: and we're just kind of sitting there twiddling our thumbs
Speaker 1: and the owner says, you know what, I'm gonna sell,
Speaker 1: and the Angels fans are like, halla freaking louja. And
Speaker 1: then and then a month later, Morana's like, nah, I
Speaker 1: think I'll hang on to the team, and we're all
Speaker 1: just sitting there going, dude, no, that's what as an
Speaker 1: Angels fan with Otani now that he's with the Dodgers
Speaker 1: and he's forty eight and forty eight or whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's so close to fifty.
Speaker 8: Man, he's he's gonna do it.
Speaker 9: All right, Man, I didn't know you were an I'm sorry, man,
Speaker 9: It's just it drives me crazy.
Speaker 1: So uh yeah. So you end up with Victor Yokish
Speaker 1: being the showy Otani of the Portuguese League. Uh, where
Speaker 1: where do things stand right now? In the standings after
Speaker 1: this past weekend of your calls on Goal.
Speaker 10: TV, the forty clubs five and oh five, I know, man,
Speaker 10: all right, they're they're not taking any prisoners, man, they're
Speaker 10: just running over people.
Speaker 2: They're destroying teams on the road, all right. So out
Speaker 2: of these out.
Speaker 8: Of these five games for Sport, and they played three
Speaker 8: games away away.
Speaker 2: From the avalade and then won. Anyways, man, and this
Speaker 2: is this is all right.
Speaker 8: They've been calling this league for six years now, right,
Speaker 8: and every year it was the U, the two kings
Speaker 8: of Portolo, Porta Pia Portal trading, you know, trading turn championships.
Speaker 8: But then the uh, they're going to the big three,
Speaker 8: right with Sporting. But Sporting hasn't had a championship years
Speaker 8: for twenty years, all right. Last last championship was in
Speaker 8: two thousand and two, and then they won nineteen years
Speaker 8: later in twenty twenty one. But they they'd won again
Speaker 8: last year and their own verge, they are on route
Speaker 8: to win by I want to say a long long
Speaker 8: distance on this championship.
Speaker 2: I was I'm talking. I got a we got a
Speaker 2: podcast with the guys and do that Tuesday.
Speaker 8: I'm talking with the guys from a representative from Sporting Club,
Speaker 8: one from a pigam for Porto, right, and the h
Speaker 8: the Sporting guy, he's always kind of nervous. You know,
Speaker 8: don't say this, don't say that we want to win, please,
Speaker 8: because what if we don't win?
Speaker 2: What happened a lot of season? Man, what did I
Speaker 2: tell you last season? In round three I was I
Speaker 2: was calling the gamest and a boy.
Speaker 8: Round three, I was like, all right, these guys, they're
Speaker 8: gonna win the championship.
Speaker 2: Don't say that, you know, you're gonna jinx it.
Speaker 8: Because he has a reason for that, because over the
Speaker 8: nineteen years span up without any titles.
Speaker 2: At least in seven seven.
Speaker 8: Seasons they were leading and they'll dig rail at the
Speaker 8: end of the season.
Speaker 2: They get I.
Speaker 8: Forgot how they say, how is it saying they got
Speaker 8: a saying in Portugal like Sporting for Christmas Porto in
Speaker 8: February and then they pig end up winning the championship.
Speaker 8: I don't know how it works, but that they know
Speaker 8: that Sporting Club always spuns a gas at the end
Speaker 8: of the season. It's not the same, it's not it's
Speaker 8: it's a different era. And and Sporting Club change everything
Speaker 8: when they grew and Amory back in twenty nineteen, twenty
Speaker 8: twenty doing depend yeah, dependen the years when they sign up.
Speaker 2: Ruin Amadem the guy change the mentality of these teams.
Speaker 2: Of this team he is.
Speaker 8: He's a coach that also loves to promote young young talent.
Speaker 2: By the way, talking about young talent sport, the club
Speaker 2: is the youngest.
Speaker 8: They have the youngest roster also twenty three point four
Speaker 8: years average.
Speaker 2: Twenty three all right, okay, okay.
Speaker 8: So and then the leading and there they got this
Speaker 8: I forgot how many goals to score already it is
Speaker 8: I think it's nineteen it is nineteen and four. That's
Speaker 8: the nine think goes score and four considered two consider
Speaker 8: only twice, only twice in five games.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 2: So that that's how good this team is.
Speaker 8: And they gotta have that awesome startup Champions League in
Speaker 8: but they got a tough group.

Speaker 1: and then Midanchuk scored with about ten to go to
Speaker 1: tie it too, and the last thirty minutes was absolute chaos.
Speaker 1: You know what it is, since we're talking MLS, it
Speaker 1: is that time. It is that time for the last
Speaker 1: half hour of Thursday, where we have the melding of minds.
Speaker 1: We have the twitch pitch staring at this harmonic convergence
Speaker 1: of all of these different zones coming together. And as
Speaker 1: I stare in the green room, I see someone who
Speaker 1: is all business.
Speaker 6: He is in.
Speaker 1: Business attire today. He ain't wearing the lid. He might
Speaker 1: have the rave green mug and might be on cup
Speaker 1: of coffee number three. We will check this out, but
Speaker 1: we have to roll the special open because that's what
Speaker 1: we have. Because we are going to add to the
Speaker 1: discussion for the handoff, our buddy Nico Moreno from Pulso's
Speaker 1: Sports and the Soccer Bar, So special Open, Here we go,
Speaker 1: street fight coming right at you. Two three four, The
Speaker 1: melding of minds and the handoff. On Thursday, we were
Speaker 1: discussing Major League Soccer and Nino Torres's beloved Columbus crew.
Speaker 1: We bring in Nico Moreno from Pulso Sports and the
Speaker 1: Soccer Bar to discuss everything. So I will put it
Speaker 1: to the table Nino, to continue your education as to
Speaker 1: what's going on while you're focused in Portugal and the Bird,
Speaker 1: the Doors and SOUD American and everything Gold TV. Question
Speaker 1: that you have for Nico Moreno on the handoff? What
Speaker 1: is your question sir about Major League soccer?
Speaker 2: Mister Moreno, good morning? First off, first off, right, so
Speaker 2: what are your chances for your team this year?
Speaker 1: What are you?
Speaker 2: What are your chances for you? Saunders?
Speaker 16: Well for so all, good morning.
Speaker 4: You know, always a pleasure to have you join us
Speaker 4: or what's join and John, I'm just here just visiting,
Speaker 4: but always have fantastic to have you. Yes, by the way, John,
Speaker 4: you're right on. This is Cup number three of Joe
Speaker 4: and I think you finally hit, you finally hit I
Speaker 4: mean you know I got here about midnight from the
Speaker 4: Sounders game. Had to watch some games because I always
Speaker 4: got to watch all these ninety minutes of at least
Speaker 4: three games.
Speaker 16: So it was a It was a rough night, got
Speaker 16: about two hours of sleep.
Speaker 4: But to your question, you know, chances of I'm guessing
Speaker 4: getting a title or getting to a final, Uh, there
Speaker 4: aren't many. To be honest, This team, yes, today, prove
Speaker 4: what I've been saying here over the last couple of
Speaker 4: weeks that there are times where results can be outliers.
Speaker 4: There are times that results can hide some of the
Speaker 4: realities of a team, and last night was part of it.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 4: You played the a team that's eliminated the worst team
Speaker 4: in MLS if you will, and you are a command
Speaker 4: to zero, a brace from Jordan Morris. You think that
Speaker 4: you have the game under control. But in a combination
Speaker 4: of missed opportunities, a team that I felt pulled their
Speaker 4: foot off the gas and substitutions by Bryan Smetzer that
Speaker 4: I think told the team, let's hold the ball, let's
Speaker 4: just hold on to this score. It did not go
Speaker 4: their way because all it took was you were already
Speaker 4: in a game where you started off in the wrong foot.
Speaker 4: Quakes get the first goal, then you get the brace,
Speaker 4: so you kind of match it up. You're up to one.
Speaker 4: They were the better team in the first forty five,
Speaker 4: but then after that you just won goal from an equalizer,
Speaker 4: So you need to finish the game, and that was
Speaker 4: never intended in that second half. I think that they
Speaker 4: had plenty of opportunities and I don't want to put
Speaker 4: a lot on Brian. Josh at Tensio, he has a
Speaker 4: play where he from midfield goes all the way down
Speaker 4: coast to coast to uh. The other side final third
Speaker 4: makes a wrong decision, Jordan Morris gets a one on
Speaker 4: one against the goalkeeper missuses. There was so many missed
Speaker 4: opportunities by the individuals on the field, but Brian needs
Speaker 4: to do a little more. Raul Ridiez was sitting on
Speaker 4: the bench waiting to come on. In the post conference,
Speaker 4: brand Smetzer said, you know where the experience guys that
Speaker 4: could have made this game put it away, held the ball,
Speaker 4: all these things. Well, you had experience on the bench
Speaker 4: and you decided not to use it. You brought in
Speaker 4: Manongu and Readbaker Whiton, which I understand. Why you want
Speaker 4: the speed, you want the velocity.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 4: He talked about transition moments, which they did have. But
Speaker 4: there are times where you have to make substitutions early
Speaker 4: enough to kill the game and not to just manage
Speaker 4: it and hold it. And that's why at the end
Speaker 4: of the game, the worst team in the Western Conference
Speaker 4: ends up tying the game and stealing two points that instead.
Speaker 16: Of putting you third in the Western Conference, now have
Speaker 16: you at fifth.
Speaker 2: Now we're still doing the playoffs at one vers eight?
Speaker 2: Is that two versus? Is that how it goes in
Speaker 2: the playoffs?
Speaker 1: We've added the eight nine. There's a there's an eight. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there's an eight nine play in now, and then after
Speaker 1: that it's survivor of the eight nine gets the one seven, two, six, three, three, six, four,
Speaker 1: five and five at four.
Speaker 8: Yeah, So technically you're going to go against the rapids
Speaker 8: if everything stands as it is now.
Speaker 16: Right, maybe yeah? Maybe so.
Speaker 4: So all in all, I just don't think this team
Speaker 4: has enough to compete against the top teams of the
Speaker 4: Western Conference. I'll be blunt and I'll be honestly, I
Speaker 4: don't know how you call it. I don't want to
Speaker 4: shugert coded.
Speaker 16: I'm not going to show your put it right.
Speaker 4: So that's just the reality of it and the team's DP,
Speaker 4: which is better at le Vega. You saw him coming
Speaker 4: here today, but he looked in a different page. He
Speaker 4: just didn't seem to mold with the rest of the team.
Speaker 4: He's so eager to show the team and the fans
Speaker 4: what he can do because he's been hindered by injuries
Speaker 4: that there was a couple of times where he got
Speaker 4: the ball, he could have settled it, driven towards the eighteen,
Speaker 4: made a pass, made a better shot, but he just
Speaker 4: took a first shot trying to make a banger because
Speaker 4: he's just so eager to try to make a change.
Speaker 4: So there's just so many components.
Speaker 16: For Seattle that are not there that I just don't
Speaker 16: think that they have a chance.
Speaker 4: If you have to put it, maybe fifteen percent chance
Speaker 4: that they put it all together, everything comes together and
Speaker 4: they make a run and are in the final. But
Speaker 4: I just don't see it.
Speaker 1: A quick, quick promo what are you doing on Gold
Speaker 1: TV this weekend? Then you know.
Speaker 2: We do, uh the Premier League go with the Big
Speaker 2: three with Porto Mphica.
Speaker 11: I'm sporting and it's gonna be a massive, massive game
Speaker 11: this week and in the Premier League it's gonna be
Speaker 11: uh what's this uh da gim and ees or undefeated.
Speaker 2: We're gonna play.
Speaker 8: It's gonna host Sporto and then they're gonna give Paro
Speaker 8: the first loss of the season. It's gonna be a
Speaker 8: Street five man. It's gonna be a Street five one
Speaker 8: that goes on Saturday at one pm Eastern time. So
Speaker 8: stay tune for that game. Man, that's the game of
Speaker 8: the weekend.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 1: What he said at Gold TV, our budding Nino torres
Speaker 1: here for the first half hour of the Power Hour.
Speaker 1: We have been fully loaded. My friend has always great
Speaker 1: to care. You saved the pipes, hang out with the Pedito,
Speaker 1: and we will see you again next week unless you
Speaker 1: want to crash your party anytime you want. I see,
Speaker 1: that's the handoff, and now it's time to catch up.
Speaker 1: So you said cup number three? Is that correct?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, oh yeah, that is Cup number three and
Speaker 4: it's finally hitting man. Right before I jumped on, I
Speaker 4: was still kind of trying to figure it out, feeling
Speaker 4: I'm signing to get it back.
Speaker 1: Obviously, we will end with cliffhanger, as we always do.
Speaker 1: But last night we say I saved the Western Conference
Speaker 1: discussion for when you get to come by because of
Speaker 1: the chaos. That is a different kind of chaos in
Speaker 1: the West than it is in the East. Western Conference
Speaker 1: matchups last night Houston at Hell and a Shell tiede
Speaker 1: Vancouver one one Kansas City. I think with the shock
Speaker 1: of the night beating Colorado for to one at Children's
Speaker 1: Mercy Cincinnati on the road, knocking the Loons out to one,
Speaker 1: and then you end up with Salt Lake, who's been
Speaker 1: trying to find them sell you know when you don't
Speaker 1: have a die Gomez anymore, and they did last night
Speaker 1: at home at Rio Tinto against Dallas three to two.
Speaker 1: LAFC and Austin tie at one on the road. But
Speaker 1: if you look at Sebastian Dreuci's social media's he might
Speaker 1: be over the whole thing. In Austin, you mentioned Seattle
Speaker 1: and San Jose. That should have been three points for
Speaker 1: you and it only ended up being one. I can
Speaker 1: just imagine what sports talk is going to be outside
Speaker 1: of us this morning, and then the chaos of Portland
Speaker 1: and Los Angeles. Dylan Butler was on yesterday from MLS
Speaker 1: Soccer dot Com. He said it was going to be
Speaker 1: a six to five banger. Unfortunately, the juice boxes only
Speaker 1: went up to five and a half, and it was
Speaker 1: a four figure number. And if you went five and
Speaker 1: a half, if you went over on five and a half,
Speaker 1: you came out and the juice boxes pretty sexy. Because
Speaker 1: Portland put four on La. It was chaotic, but it
Speaker 1: didn't seem like it was gonna be, you know, like
Speaker 1: it was gonna be close at times, like it was
Speaker 1: at three to two, and then Portland gets the one
Speaker 1: for more late to go four to with the Western Conference.
Speaker 1: With what happened last night, what do you think?
Speaker 16: First of all, I mean that was a Mexican brawl
Speaker 16: and knew you knew that coming in.
Speaker 4: I mean that was like Morales Barrera, like pac Man Marquees,
Speaker 4: like you know it was gonna be you know, all
Speaker 4: out because there are two offensive squads, right, I mean,
Speaker 4: you can tell what you want about the Timbers back
Speaker 4: line and the deficiencies defensively, by boy, do they have
Speaker 4: weapons on the offensive side, and so do La.
Speaker 16: So that was a great game.
Speaker 4: There's one of the ones that kept me up last
Speaker 4: night watching ninety minutes of it. And you could just
Speaker 4: see it right. So when I look at the standings, man,
Speaker 4: I just think that it's a good reflection of what's
Speaker 4: going on. For the most part, I feel like Seattle's
Speaker 4: still above where they really should be. I think that
Speaker 4: Oursel now has a chance to win the Western Conference
Speaker 4: in LAFC dropping points lac Has. They've struggled and I've
Speaker 4: seen it consistently. Now they've went back to a four
Speaker 4: man back line, and I'm not sure it's because of
Speaker 4: the Murdijo injury, and I feel like they're at their
Speaker 4: best when they're playing with those three monsters in the back.
Speaker 4: Not sure if there's also a little bit of exhausting
Speaker 4: players and a lot of like the grind of the
Speaker 4: entirety of the season. Bu Wanga, Kick Olivera, all these
Speaker 4: guys that were at a really high level at one
Speaker 4: point right now they're they're just not as high and
Speaker 4: they've really they've really struggled with that. They really need
Speaker 4: those guys to be on points. So I think Oursel
Speaker 4: last night they founded without Carlos Gumms. Finally they've struggled
Speaker 4: to do that. Julio was the demand. I mean he
Speaker 4: did everything out running defenders, doing the audiginal type of
Speaker 4: shot from have field, putting it together. No Chicho, right,
Speaker 4: and you still get a good result against a good
Speaker 4: team that really challenged you, because Dallas did that. So
Speaker 4: I think oursel can really get up there. So I
Speaker 4: think still from one to four, that's what you're gonna get.
Speaker 4: It doesn't matter how those four move I think that
Speaker 4: those four teams that you see right now, Galaxy, RSL, LAFC,
Speaker 4: and Colorado, those are going to fight those four spots
Speaker 4: until the end of the season. I don't see anybody
Speaker 4: below that get in above. I see Seattle maybe maybe struggling.
Speaker 4: We'll see what happened with Houston. That's their next game,
Speaker 4: right and they have a bye week, So teams are
Speaker 4: going to be able to get some coins on them.
Speaker 4: So in ten days they'll face Houston directly. Can be
Speaker 4: back by then because you know how much Houston misses
Speaker 4: that guy. So I just think that we'll see a
Speaker 4: a movement, a Settle still get in. I have no
Speaker 4: doubt Settle still get in. But I think Portland and
Speaker 4: Houston are gonna be above the Seattle Sounders by the
Speaker 4: end of the season.
Speaker 1: I mean it's and we're looking at the same thing
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference, although it's a little lower where
Speaker 1: Traditionally you see the purple team on the slow fade.
Speaker 1: Once Oscar Perejow realizes, oh, I'm in the playoffs now,
Speaker 1: then you just kind of see. Traditionally you could see
Speaker 1: them kind of go. Charlotte is the one that is
Speaker 1: really doing that, and that angle is pretty steep for
Speaker 1: Charlotte right now, with five matches to go in the
Speaker 1: regular season, they were in the seven. They've only won
Speaker 1: once in the last two months, and if it wasn't
Speaker 1: for Christian Kalina, I think they'd be a lot worse.
Speaker 1: But they're the ones that are doing the fade, and
Speaker 1: they're drawing Toronto into the seven, Philly and DC and
Speaker 1: Atlanta and Nashville and Montreal, everybody who is seven teams
Speaker 1: five points from nine to fifteen. They hit a hot streak.
Speaker 1: They're drawing themselves up close. I think Charlotte's the team
Speaker 1: to look at in the home stretch here and kind
Speaker 1: of sit there and go, I don't know, man.
Speaker 4: First of all, how are we still talking about Nashville.
Speaker 4: I mean, BJ Callen had just came and figured it out.
Speaker 4: I mean, what is going on? I thought Nasha was
Speaker 4: a team that we would not worry about. For the
Speaker 4: rest of the season and they found some fire. They
Speaker 4: found it just recently, so a couple of wings back
Speaker 4: to back. I think Orlando they also have figured out,
Speaker 4: and that team is very talented, and they continue to
Speaker 4: play o Haita in that tank position just seems to
Speaker 4: be on real for Kundo Tourists is very confident, whether
Speaker 4: it's Enriquez or whether there it is.
Speaker 16: Duncan.
Speaker 4: They have some really good strikers and finish yours off top,
Speaker 4: so that's gonna be interesting. But I give you and
Speaker 4: I do buy in on Charlotte just not having enough.
Speaker 4: Sometimes you're Goki can only do so much. Defensive presence
Speaker 4: can only do so much, and when you can't challenge
Speaker 4: teams and you can get back from at least a
Speaker 4: one zero deficit, it's just very hard to do.
Speaker 16: And I just don't think they have enough.
Speaker 4: Creative players to generate enough to just be able to
Speaker 4: come back from a game, whether there's a one zero
Speaker 4: deficit two zero deficit, and in MLS you need that
Speaker 4: from time to time. So I'll give you that. I
Speaker 4: still believe in Atlanta. I still think DC United's gonna
Speaker 4: have some to say, so we'll see. But I do
Speaker 4: see Charlotte being the team that comes off Toronto. Man,
Speaker 4: Toronto's that's so hard to figure out sometimes because I
Speaker 4: feel like they have the components to be a tough
Speaker 4: playoff team, but they got to get there first, They
Speaker 4: got to get their first and their schedule is not
Speaker 4: easy necessarily. I like a lot of the talent, I
Speaker 4: like a lot of the pieces, because they end up
Speaker 4: playing the finished this he said with Miami they played
Speaker 4: Red Bulls.
Speaker 16: Chicago is an easy one, but there's just some some games.
Speaker 4: There Colorado where you know things can get complicated for
Speaker 4: for Toronto.
Speaker 2: But I'm with you.
Speaker 16: I think Charlotte can be the team that comes off
Speaker 16: the easiest.
Speaker 1: And three out of four in that Toronto mess because
Speaker 1: they only have one less they got one less match
Speaker 1: and everybody else, So three of those mentioned in the
Speaker 1: run and it's gonna be pretty tough. We we were
Speaker 1: having a philosophical argument on the show this week. Obviously
Speaker 1: here people are frustrated about the state of things and uh,
Speaker 1: you know, wanting more players in the transfer window. Even
Speaker 1: though you end up with Amador in mid On Chook,
Speaker 1: you're still looking for that winger, You're still looking for
Speaker 1: the starting nine. You're looking for a head coach all
Speaker 1: you're looking for a technical director, GM, whatever you want
Speaker 1: to call it. And there was frustration here in the
Speaker 1: market about fans throwing their hands up basically, and it's
Speaker 1: just like, look, I just don't even go into the playoffs,
Speaker 1: don't make it in play the kids. Those kinds of
Speaker 1: things are you seeing in the Western Conference? Not necessarily
Speaker 1: in Seattle because Brian's already playing the kids cause you
Speaker 1: mentioned Red Baker, Whiting and Paul Rothrock getting minutes and
Speaker 1: things like that. Are you seeing the teams that are
Speaker 1: kind of hovering toward the playoff bar in the Western Conference?
Speaker 1: Are you sensing the same kind of frustration from them,
Speaker 1: Or when you interact with other fan bases, are you
Speaker 1: seeing fans that want to sit there and it's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean I want to push into the playoffs. I
Speaker 1: want to see where we can go. Or are you
Speaker 1: seeing fans that are apathetic with those teams right there
Speaker 1: on the edge so it's like, now we'll go ahead
Speaker 1: and we'll work on what's wrong with us and we'll
Speaker 1: get ready for next season. What do you see?
Speaker 4: Yeah, the two famisies that they see the most frustrated
Speaker 4: are ones that I think we saw come in and
Speaker 4: I told you they were going to be ahead of
Speaker 4: cold season, which in Minnesota, and those fans that they
Speaker 4: want just radical changes and they want things to just
Speaker 4: get figured out. And even if they do have the
Speaker 4: coach for the future, they feel like the the future
Speaker 4: in terms of players is just not there right. They
Speaker 4: don't have that, they don't have enough of the new
Speaker 4: dps to know where they're going. There are questions about Pooky,
Speaker 4: and there's questions about the style of play.
Speaker 16: So those are the fan bases that I feel.
Speaker 4: Like maybe are in that let's just if we don't
Speaker 4: make it, maybe it'll be good for us to just reset,
Speaker 4: restart it and get going.
Speaker 16: In Austin. Austin fans as well, they have been fed
Speaker 16: up for a very long time.
Speaker 4: You mentioned the Rusie. We go back to Fagundes and
Speaker 4: the problems that they had with him and how much
Speaker 4: the fan base loved them. There's many that have been
Speaker 4: calling for the head coach for a very long time
Speaker 4: and they haven't got that. So that could be another
Speaker 4: team that they would rather perhaps just not make that
Speaker 4: push at the end of the season, be eliminated and
Speaker 4: then that's gonna create what everybody's been looking for, which
Speaker 4: is changes from the top all the way to the bottom.
Speaker 1: Okay, it's Cliffhanger time, and we know what that means.
Speaker 1: This is where we sit there and look at our buddy,
Speaker 1: Nico's juice boxes and figure out what he wants to
Speaker 1: do with him in addition to his cups of coffee
Speaker 1: and all weekend long, and we get an early start
Speaker 1: and it's an intriguing one. On Saturday, Messi and Friends
Speaker 1: on the road to Yankee Stadium to take on NYC.
Speaker 1: It's a two o'clock start in the Yankee Stadium in
Speaker 1: the Bronx slight underdog Messi and Friends after what happened
Speaker 1: last night, NYC's favored at a plus one forty seven.
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna run through games and you just start
Speaker 1: talking about him when you want to talk about something.
Speaker 4: Yeah. What are the numbers of New Tomaomi again?
Speaker 1: Plus one sixty? They are the road dog.
Speaker 16: Tough one is simply because.
Speaker 4: New yor City of c gets blown out, but in
Speaker 4: in Miami got pushed in a limit by Atlanta and
Speaker 4: they have so many injuries, specifically in that back line.
Speaker 4: Ian Fray seems like he cannot go anymore. Christoph came
Speaker 4: off because he was done. I don't know if it
Speaker 4: was a cramp or he pulled something. We got at
Speaker 4: some point was on the ground holding his knee. I mean,
Speaker 4: there's a lot of components there where you know, maybe
Speaker 4: New York City of he does have a little bit
Speaker 4: of that edge. What are the goals on that? Maybe
Speaker 4: I'm more interested on the goals.
Speaker 1: Okay, so let's check the goals on it and see
Speaker 1: where we are currently. Let's see the over under seriously. Yeah, man,
Speaker 1: last night the over under at five and a half
Speaker 1: for Portland and Lag was like plus two thousand. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was sick. It doesn't change until three. Two and
Speaker 1: a half is one fifty minus one fifty four. Three
Speaker 1: is a play us side at one o six. Three
Speaker 1: and a half is a plus one sixty. So if
Speaker 1: you want to say two to one, you could get
Speaker 1: that out of a plus one oh six. If you
Speaker 1: want to go higher, then you're looking three and a
Speaker 1: half at plus one sixty.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I'll probably go three and a half, three and
Speaker 4: a half I feel comfortable with I think that that
Speaker 4: could be a minimum for that game in Miami. Regardless
Speaker 4: of what's going on in the back end. You can tell,
Speaker 4: and you can see how they were able to expose
Speaker 4: Atlanta a couple of times yesterday, but they were also
Speaker 4: exposed to comes. I mean, if it's not because Mosquarra
Speaker 4: cannot finish in front of goal, Atlanta probably wins that
Speaker 4: game three two.
Speaker 16: I mean that breakaway Mostcarra had on that right side.
Speaker 4: I mean, yes, obviously credit to the goalkeeper, but you
Speaker 4: should finish that. So I think there's one, could be
Speaker 4: three and a half at the very least. I'll take that,
Speaker 4: all right.
Speaker 1: Charlotte on the minus side, hosting the Revs at minus
Speaker 1: one forty seven c F Montreal plus one nineteen, hosting
Speaker 1: Chicago Fire at a plus two six crew and the
Speaker 1: Purple team seven thirty so seven forty start crew am
Speaker 1: minus one thirty three Purple team of plus three twenty one.
Speaker 1: Your draw is a plus three oh three. Wow.
Speaker 16: Oh uh huh wow uh man.
Speaker 4: I don't know if I have the guts to take
Speaker 4: Orlando against Columbus, but that that that that is tempting,
Speaker 4: very tempting, for sure. What's the what are the goals
Speaker 4: on that one?
Speaker 1: I say, when when you weren't gonna pick a side.
Speaker 1: I'm sitting there thinking, Okay, he's looking at a number.
Speaker 1: He is absolutely looking at the number. Yeah, all right,
Speaker 1: so goals, we'll start at two and a half. Two
Speaker 1: and a half a minus one seventy five. Three is
Speaker 1: a minus one oh nine. Three and a half is
Speaker 1: a plus is it? Three and a half is a
Speaker 1: plus one forty one?
Speaker 4: Jeez? Man? So what's four? Does he go down high?
Speaker 4: Four and a half?
Speaker 1: Four and a half is plus three twenty three?
Speaker 4: No, no, no, no that there's a reason why that's
Speaker 4: so high.
Speaker 16: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Yeah, if I had to take on that, I probably
Speaker 4: I'll probably do the three and a half maybe, but
Speaker 4: but yeah, that's a tough one. I think I would
Speaker 4: love to take orlanda city, but they are so hard
Speaker 4: to figure out. And although they have looked a lot better,
Speaker 4: Columbus is Columbus, and I'm not betting against Columbus.
Speaker 1: All right, So I'm gonna save red Bulls in Atlanta
Speaker 1: United in Seattle, and uh, what you're up to? Uh
Speaker 1: what you're you're off, aren't you? You don't have a
Speaker 1: you don't have a uh.
Speaker 4: Yeah we're off.
Speaker 16: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've got to buy a week.
Speaker 1: Okay, So I'll save red Bulls in Atlanta for last.
Speaker 1: Uh COPA Tejas Houston favored on the road at Q
Speaker 1: two at a plus one fifty taking on Austin FC.
Speaker 1: FC Dallas a dog at home taking on l A
Speaker 1: f C who's probably gonna come in mad at a
Speaker 1: plus one fourteen. FC Dallas a plus two oh nine.
Speaker 1: Nashville a big home dog against FC Cincinnati, no real
Speaker 1: surprise at a plus one eighty nine. FC Cincinnati plus
Speaker 1: one thirty seven. Sporting on the minus side minus one
Speaker 1: oh six hosting the loans of the plus two forty
Speaker 1: eight Rapids minus one thirty five, hosting Toronto at plus
Speaker 1: three twenty two RSL minus one twenty seven Portland to
Speaker 1: plus two seventy eight Galaxy minus one eighteen hosting Vancouver
Speaker 1: at plus two seventy three, and San Jose and all Caps.
Speaker 1: The juice boxers were like, put a blanket over that
Speaker 1: one more than the margin of error in and around
Speaker 1: plus one fifty Sunday game Philly and DC. Philly is
Speaker 1: minus one eighteen. DC coming to town of a plus
Speaker 1: two sixty six. What sticks in your head?
Speaker 6: Uh?
Speaker 4: That we also lake Portland? Man I don't know why
Speaker 4: is calling my name, Irsel. As much as they showed
Speaker 4: us last night that they have the business and they
Speaker 4: can do it if they play us open as they
Speaker 4: did Dallas, they and they take that right to Portland.
Speaker 4: Portland will give him hell, so let me get the goals,
Speaker 4: but I'm gonna take Portland regardless of I think Portland.
Speaker 4: It's it's an interesting one. I think that they met
Speaker 4: chup well against rsl uh So. Yeah, let me get Portland,
Speaker 4: but let me let me see the goals because I
Speaker 4: would be willing to go four and a half of now.
Speaker 1: Ooh, four and a half a plus two twenty one.
Speaker 16: Hey, man, give me that double down. Man, love that.
Speaker 16: I like to see it.
Speaker 4: I don't know why you call my name, and sometimes
Speaker 4: you've got to go with the gut. That's an interesting one,
Speaker 4: but that's probably the one that really really sticks out
Speaker 4: for me.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no doubt. I mean, there are a lot of
Speaker 1: teams that are favored at home, and there's some lopsided
Speaker 1: matchups that really don't have any bearing on the playoff
Speaker 1: picture four and a half plus two twenty one in
Speaker 1: that matchup, so it was it was calling out the
Speaker 1: Sirens song was there the plus two twenty one.
Speaker 4: Yeah, man, I just see it. Man, it is look
Speaker 4: probaly kidding up going into the playoffs. I think it
Speaker 4: could be a real dark horse. If you're not thinking
Speaker 4: that that Portland is the team that is going to
Speaker 4: give you problems, they're gonna end up getting you out
Speaker 4: of the out of the playoffs. I go back to
Speaker 4: that Seattle Portland game where Bill Neville decided to just
Speaker 4: keep his uh fullbacks home and just play a little
Speaker 4: bit more cautiously. And then that was without two main players.
Speaker 4: Obviously no Capecita and I don't think no evandering now on.
Speaker 4: So even then they were able to really kind of
Speaker 4: change it up a little bit. So I feel like
Speaker 4: going into the playoffs, Phil will be able to do
Speaker 4: enough adjustments to just ease up the issues in the
Speaker 4: back end and then just let those monsters up top
Speaker 4: their do their thing. Uh, Evander is hot. Was thinking
Speaker 4: it was thirteen goals already. Mosquerra looks really really comfortable,
Speaker 4: really good. Felipe Mora, I think he should be called
Speaker 4: up by Chile. So, man, I think Portland is going
Speaker 4: to be a problem.
Speaker 1: All right, the one that called out to me as
Speaker 1: you were talking sirens, songs and totals. Lag and Vancouver.
Speaker 1: Three and a half is a plus one eleven four
Speaker 1: is a plus one eighty five. Four and a half
Speaker 1: is a plus two forty six. I like just as
Speaker 1: a little one. I like the three and a half
Speaker 1: in Lag and Vancouver. I'm thinking some goals can be
Speaker 1: had there. But I'm traditionally a chicken, so I'm only
Speaker 1: going to go up to the three and a half
Speaker 1: when it comes to Lag and the white Caps.
Speaker 4: Yeah, what'd you say it was the four and a
Speaker 4: half on that one?
Speaker 1: Well, hang on, all right, let me go back, all right,
Speaker 1: So Lag and Vancouver. The four and a half on
Speaker 1: Lag and Vancouver is a plus two four six.
Speaker 4: I'd be willing to go four and a half in
Speaker 4: now on myself, Okay, I really would. That could be
Speaker 4: a very open ended game. You know what l Eli
Speaker 4: Galaxy can do. They fell short against Portland. They're gonna
Speaker 4: want to come out there and just give it all
Speaker 4: to Vancouver. If Vancouver is needed of points, They're not
Speaker 4: fearful to just push up those wing backs. So yeah,
Speaker 4: that could be a little bit of a battle right there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, last one on the board for US. Red Bulls
Speaker 1: minus one forty five Atlanta United on the road of
Speaker 1: a plus three point fifty one your draw at Red
Speaker 1: Bull Arena plus three oh seven.
Speaker 4: What do you think fifty one for Atlanta? Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'll be willing to take it. Look, Red Bulls is
Speaker 4: another team that I felt like, had they brought in
Speaker 4: one more piece in the summer window, we'd probably be
Speaker 4: talking about a really, really good team. But they struggle
Speaker 4: in the offensive end. They're very sporadic there. Sometimes they
Speaker 4: can give you what you got and I think against Atlanta,
Speaker 4: you need to force Atlanta to and you need to
Speaker 4: push back, just like Miami did last night. And I
Speaker 4: don't know if Red Bulls are going to be willing
Speaker 4: to do that. I mean, they lost to Chicago for
Speaker 4: christ X two to one. So I really do think
Speaker 4: that Atlantic can take the momentum from a very well
Speaker 4: fought game against Inner Miami and and and bring it
Speaker 4: against Red Bulls and get get a get a result.
Speaker 1: Soccer Bar and Pulso Sports, what do we need to know?
Speaker 4: Uh, soccer Bar today was going to be delayed all
Speaker 4: the way till eleven o'clock Pacific as we are working
Speaker 4: on getting a couple of things going. Uh, we will
Speaker 4: have Ernand Lopez, who talked to me after the frustrating
Speaker 4: to two draft for Seattle, but one of the left
Speaker 4: that sionse alacer Room very happy despite being eliminated. He
Speaker 4: tells me, we're playing for positions. We're playing to show
Speaker 4: everybody that we are a good collective unit. So that
Speaker 4: that's an interested you of you there that we'll have
Speaker 4: in soccer bar here at eleven o'clock Pacific and in
Speaker 4: POLSL sports we will have not just yet, but we
Speaker 4: will end up having by Saturday something to hear from
Speaker 4: the Sounders after this frustrating loss. You can though, catch
Speaker 4: the postgame conference with brand Smetzer, where essentially he does
Speaker 4: take a lot of the blame for what happened yesterday.
Speaker 4: I asked him directly, you know, when you have a
Speaker 4: game that essentially you could kill, that you've been controlling,
Speaker 4: how much of that falls on you and not the players?
Speaker 4: And he took responsibility to accountability for it. So go
Speaker 4: ahead and check that out a pool support as well.
Speaker 1: What you said as always, my friend, great to have
Speaker 1: you here on your Thursdays with Thursdays with Nico and
Speaker 1: your third cup of coffee. Enjoy your Rave Green, the
Speaker 1: contents inside the ray Green. We will catch up with
Speaker 1: you next week. My friend, love you and be safe.
Speaker 1: Thank you.
Speaker 4: Boss, take it easy.
Speaker 1: And so he's gonna go have coffee and he's going
Speaker 1: to continue to drink coffee. And boy, you want to
Speaker 1: talk about something at eleven am Pacific time two pm
Speaker 1: Eastern where somebody's really going to be on the coffee run, definitely,
Speaker 1: If you want to catch up with Nico and the
Speaker 1: programming over at Soccer Bar and Pulso Sports, please do
Speaker 1: all right, So news of the am and so, like
Speaker 1: I said, we're in the plus zone considering that technology
Speaker 1: did not cooperate with us this morning until nine to
Speaker 1: fifteen easterns. So we are still going because we got
Speaker 1: news to talk about, news, gossip, bomer and innuendo. What
Speaker 1: to watch, where to watch it, how to watch? Okay?
Speaker 1: From our friends at the Telegraph. It is the notion
Speaker 1: that Manchester City, Ben Rumsby over at the Telegraph, could
Speaker 1: be expelled from all competitions, not just the Premier League.
Speaker 1: According to Rumsby, rules governing the FAC the Gummy Bear Cup,
Speaker 1: the Champions League and the Club World Cup suggested that
Speaker 1: City could be banned there as well. Rumsby says it
Speaker 1: can be revealed that City would be at risk of
Speaker 1: being expelled from both FA Cup and Gummy Bear no
Speaker 1: certainty that they would be able to continue in the
Speaker 1: play in the Champions League at the Club World Cup
Speaker 1: either at the so called Trial of the Century this week.
Speaker 1: Premier League rivals do not believe a one off points
Speaker 1: deduction would be a sufficient punishment if Manchester City's found
Speaker 1: guilty of the vast majority of offenses they stand accused of.
Speaker 1: Committee expulsion would satisfy those calling for a harsher sanction,
Speaker 1: but would also risk throwing English football into chaos and
Speaker 1: could lead to its four time defending champs continuing to
Speaker 1: play FA Cup, Gummy Bear Cup Champions League. Rumsby then
Speaker 1: comes in with a transitional element to continue this particular
Speaker 1: thought pattern one more time. Rumsby says the rules of
Speaker 1: the two domestic cup competitions do raise the prospect of
Speaker 1: cities exile from the game being extended beyond the Premier League.
Speaker 1: Clause thirty one of the FA Cup rules, for example,
Speaker 1: quote where a club has been admitted to participate in
Speaker 1: the competition but is then removed from the league in
Speaker 1: which it competes or its league fixtures are suspended, the
Speaker 1: Professional Game Board may remove the club from the competition.
Speaker 1: The PGB is made up of reps of the Premier
Speaker 1: League in the EFL EFL Cup rules, the Gummy Bear
Speaker 1: Cup basically meanwhile, define participating clubs as quote each member
Speaker 1: from time to time of the league and each member
Speaker 1: from time to time of the Premier League. Rules governing
Speaker 1: the Champions League appear to be more complex, with teams
Speaker 1: requiring a UEFA Club License to play in UEFA competitions. YUEFA,
Speaker 1: the FA and the prem all have rules in the
Speaker 1: administration of such licenses, and The Telegraph has been unable
Speaker 1: to ascertain whether expulsion from a domestic league could be
Speaker 1: grounds four withdrawal. Similarly, detailed regulations governing FIFA's expanded Club
Speaker 1: World Cup do not appear to be publicly available. It's
Speaker 1: almost like the Club World Cup is like the ACC
Speaker 1: and the Deed of Gift. However, if City are expelled
Speaker 1: from all domestic football could make it very difficult for
Speaker 1: them to continue to play in Champions League and Club
Speaker 1: World Cup, given the long gaps they would face between
Speaker 1: competitive fixtures, prospect of them winning those competitions at the
Speaker 1: end of a season in which they are thrown out
Speaker 1: of the Premier League and potentially other competitions would also
Speaker 1: rankle with rival clubs and supporters. Oh boy, did you
Speaker 1: imagine what the Gallagher brothers would be saying about something
Speaker 1: like that? Leicester City in Leicester City and Steve Cooper,
Speaker 1: He's hot, Sam Wallace, Steve and this is the headline.
Speaker 1: Steve Cooper accuses PGML of using quote false images to
Speaker 1: cover up a VAR blunder controversy occurred when Crystal Palace
Speaker 1: forward Mateta was initially ruled to be offside for what
Speaker 1: turned out to be his first goal in the draw.
Speaker 1: Steve Cooper has accused var of using quote false images
Speaker 1: to cover up its awful human error his words after
Speaker 1: overturning the on field offside decision for Jean Felipe Matete's
Speaker 1: goal against Crystal Palace on Saturday that was the first
Speaker 1: goal in the two nil It was two nil at
Speaker 1: the time. It was the first goal on a two
Speaker 1: goal come back to to draw. The club told PGMOL,
Speaker 1: the referees organization, that they had chosen the wrong frame
Speaker 1: for the kick point the moment at which the ball
Speaker 1: was played to Mateta while referee Tony Harrington stuck to
Speaker 1: the on field decision to rule the goal offside, along
Speaker 1: with his assistants VR Andy Madley ruled it on side.
Speaker 1: Lester met on Monday with Martin Atkinson, the Select Group
Speaker 1: one manager for the top referees, to register their concerns
Speaker 1: with PGMOL and no resolution was reached. So basically it
Speaker 1: sounds like Lester went to the PGML headquarters, talked to
Speaker 1: their general manager, let's have a conversation, and then then
Speaker 1: nothing happened after that. Lester's case was that when Tyrek
Speaker 1: Mitchell crossed the ball, Mateta was off side. Lester say
Speaker 1: the subsequent frame in which their fullback James Justin extended
Speaker 1: his leg to block the cross was the one used
Speaker 1: erroneously by var as the crucial kickpoint. Today. In his
Speaker 1: press conference, Steve Cooper quote, it was an awful human error.
Speaker 1: It's been hidden in the media that has been as
Speaker 1: disappointing as the error itself. We've seen the images that
Speaker 1: show he was clearly offside, but they froze it at
Speaker 1: the wrong time. Everything that has been seen has been
Speaker 1: a false image. We showed the Premier League that they
Speaker 1: used the wrong image. We had a massive error go
Speaker 1: against us. We don't want it to go under the
Speaker 1: radar because it's not fair to players or supporters. Errors
Speaker 1: like that shouldn't happen. That's why we're changing the semi
Speaker 1: automated off side. We felt very let down by it.
Speaker 1: Need to stand up for the club until the Premier
Speaker 1: League what we thought. We asked them to explain the
Speaker 1: decision and it confirmed they were wrong in terms of
Speaker 1: when they stopped the game. It's not been near the media.
Speaker 1: Everything you've seen on Match of the Day or Sky
Speaker 1: was wrong. We showed PGMOL that but they've not come
Speaker 1: back to us since. PGMOL says it considers the decision
Speaker 1: made by VAR to have been correct. It says that
Speaker 1: Howard Webb was not available to meet with Lester on
Speaker 1: Monday because he was attending a conference in the morning
Speaker 1: as well as filming his television segment on Sky Monday night.
Speaker 1: So Lester's hot footballers are thinking about going on strike.
Speaker 1: Remember we discussed what Rodriy was thinking about and what
Speaker 1: Allison was talking about. With the expanded schedules and everything,
Speaker 1: Now footballers could go on strike and still play for
Speaker 1: their clubs. Guard out for the foreseeable future in quotation
Speaker 1: marks is the major injury blow to Arsenal might be
Speaker 1: a couple of months, So we'll see what the uh,
Speaker 1: We'll see what's going on there. Uh. Like we mentioned
Speaker 1: Kevin de Burna injured and we have to keep an
Speaker 1: eye on that leading into the Arsenal match on the weekend.
Speaker 1: And there's one other story. Okay, so the EFL, there's
Speaker 1: two other stories. Matt Hughes at The Guardian. The EFL
Speaker 1: wants to charge Lester with financial rules breach if they're relegated.
Speaker 1: And remember that while you're in the Premier League you
Speaker 1: can have a for profit and sustainability. You can lose
Speaker 1: one hundred and five million pounds over a three year period.
Speaker 1: Lester is up on charges in a breach. EFL wants
Speaker 1: to charge Lester over the alleged breach of PSR that
Speaker 1: the Premi Year League was blocked from pursuing if Lester
Speaker 1: is in fact relegated this year. EFLs understood to be
Speaker 1: seeking legal advice after an independent commission rule the Premier
Speaker 1: League had no jurisdiction to charge Lester for overspending the
Speaker 1: twenty two to twenty three campaign. The legal team argued
Speaker 1: after relegation last year, they were not a Premier League club.
Speaker 1: When they submitted their accounts for twenty two to twenty
Speaker 1: three club had been charged with a twenty four point
Speaker 1: four million pound breach of the one hundred and five
Speaker 1: million pound loss. Based on the punishments given to Everton
Speaker 1: and Forest, it would have resulted in a deduction of
Speaker 1: up to seven points if they had been found guilty.
Speaker 1: So the EFL will now argue if Lester is in
Speaker 1: fact relegated, that they can impose sanctions for that cycle
Speaker 1: because despite having competed in the Premier League for all
Speaker 1: three years, they were officially in the Championship. When their
Speaker 1: accounts were submitted, Lester's permitted losses reduced to eighty three
Speaker 1: million because of the EFL spending limits. So so the
Speaker 1: losses in the Premier League at one oh five, because
Speaker 1: they're the Premier League, and because the Championship is the Championship,
Speaker 1: it's eighty three million, and so the EFL might chase
Speaker 1: after them for having lost more than eighty three million
Speaker 1: in a three year window period. So Lester have to
Speaker 1: submit their accounts for the twenty three to twenty four
Speaker 1: season by the end of the calendar year. They recorded
Speaker 1: pre tax losses of ninety two and a half and
Speaker 1: ninety million and twenty two and twenty three before the
Speaker 1: Premier League's deductions for infrastructure spending, but remain confident of
Speaker 1: avoiding a breach. So keep an eye on that unless
Speaker 1: Lester turns a massive profit in that third year. If
Speaker 1: I'm understanding this correctly, you've got to turn like one
Speaker 1: hundred million pound profit in year three otherwise you're in
Speaker 1: violation of the EFL's version of profit and sustainability. So
Speaker 1: that's why they're thinking that they might be able to
Speaker 1: take Lester to court at their relegate. Do you get
Speaker 1: all that there's a test later on? I saw this
Speaker 1: story and Jessica Charman immediately texted me back and the
Speaker 1: words that she used and I hope that I'm not
Speaker 1: out of I hope I'm not out of school by
Speaker 1: saying this. She said that her heart hurt. And it's
Speaker 1: about Lester, I mean sorry, it's about Redding, Rob Kuig's takeover,
Speaker 1: his apparently collapse. So we're back where we were. Ben
Speaker 1: Fisher at The Guardian, the former Wickham owner wanted to
Speaker 1: buy the League One club, and we all know that
Speaker 1: die Young, the Redding owner, doesn't need to be an owner.
Speaker 1: He needs to sell. He wants to sell. It's kind
Speaker 1: of like a Mike Ashley situation. It's like you keep
Speaker 1: moving the bar and so now Rob Koigg's perspective, deal
Speaker 1: to buy Redding has collapsed. He satisfied the EFL's Owners
Speaker 1: and Director's test, but Redding's owner Die Young failed to
Speaker 1: complete a deal to sell. The immediate future will be
Speaker 1: funded by money generated from the sell on clause and
Speaker 1: the deal that took Michael Elise to Byron Munich from
Speaker 1: Crystal Palace. Palace paid Redding eight million for the midfielder
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty one. We have all of the point deductions.
Speaker 1: In the past. Kuwig had invested at least five million
Speaker 1: pounds to meet monthly bills and wages. Reddings say that
Speaker 1: Kuig has been paid back, attended matches. Wanted to revive
Speaker 1: the club. Reading supporters continue to protest against Die Young.
Speaker 1: Club says Young remains committed to the sale of Reading
Speaker 1: and provisions are in place to fund the club until
Speaker 1: a transaction is completed. Kuig and his business partner Todd
Speaker 1: Troclaire wanted to expected to complete a deal by the
Speaker 1: end of July, but a complex purchase according to The Guardian,
Speaker 1: encompassing laws in multiple countries, proved protracted. Kuik struck a
Speaker 1: basic agreement on terms in June, wanted to bring in
Speaker 1: former Wickham captor Joe Jacobson as sporting director. Kuig spent
Speaker 1: transferred deadline day at Redding wanted to sign at least
Speaker 1: three players, but he could only get one because it
Speaker 1: was a loan deal and Lester is on an EFL
Speaker 1: embargo that prevents them from paying fees for players. Looks
Speaker 1: like according to the math, Redding might make about three
Speaker 1: point six million pounds on the fifty million pound transfer
Speaker 1: of Oleise's supposed to be paid an installments one this year,
Speaker 1: another one in January. The annual wage bill at Reading
Speaker 1: is understood to be about five million pounds and so
Speaker 1: if you pay one point eight now and then one
Speaker 1: point eight after the first of the year, it will
Speaker 1: be a good start after the first of the year.
Speaker 1: But you got to make it to the end of
Speaker 1: the year. Recent transfer windows they've sold homegrown youngsters to
Speaker 1: fund the day to day running of the club. And
Speaker 1: remember Redding's financial difficulties meant that the women's side, a
Speaker 1: women's Super League team until a year and a half
Speaker 1: ago they had to pull out from the championship. They're
Speaker 1: now in the fifth tier. So if you could keep
Speaker 1: an eye out and an ear out and give your
Speaker 1: best thoughts and vibes to Jess and everything that is
Speaker 1: going through. Everything that she and her fellow Redding fans
Speaker 1: are going through, it sucks, absolutely sucks that she's going
Speaker 1: through that.
Speaker 4: Right now.
Speaker 1: Reminder real quick that tonight seven o'clock pregame seven thirty
Speaker 1: three kick at Landy United two Crown Legacy here on
Speaker 1: the network. I'll have the call for you on that one.
Speaker 1: We're gonna hear from Steve Cook and it was a
Speaker 1: deep conversation that we're going to play a little bit.
Speaker 1: In the A block, we'll have the highlights from all
Speaker 1: the chaos that happened against Huntsvioll City Football Club. We'll
Speaker 1: hear from Steve Cook, not once, but twice. Get you
Speaker 1: ready for what's going on busy night in MLS next
Speaker 1: Pro We'll get into that in just a little bit.
Speaker 1: So let's see if there's anything else in the world
Speaker 1: of football. Well, here we go. Well, like I said,
Speaker 1: just checking to see if there's anything going on, and
Speaker 1: I'm checking all of the all of the papers. As
Speaker 1: Will Patten said in Remember the Titans and let's see
Speaker 1: all of the Manchester City talk that we discussed. Gary
Speaker 1: O'Neil rus the same problems as Wolves have exited the
Speaker 1: Carabout Cup at Brighton. He wants to bring in more players.
Speaker 1: Wolves are like, no, we're cool. Man City and women's soccer.
Speaker 1: Man City failed to submit a visa application for Bunny
Speaker 1: Shaw ahead of their matchup against Paris FC. Manchester City
Speaker 1: did in fact beat the beat Paris FC fairly well
Speaker 1: despite missing Bunny Shaw with that visa issue, so keep
Speaker 1: an eye on that as everything rolls forward. On the
Speaker 1: women's side of things. A lot of Everton out penalties
Speaker 1: in the Gummy Bear Cup so intriguing to say the
Speaker 1: very least. In all of this. Casumiro's link to Turkey
Speaker 1: and that we know, all right, So Gossip, Brimmer and Nuendo.
Speaker 1: What to watch? Where to watch it? How to watch it? Yes, Abby,
Speaker 1: the home finale Tuesday the twenty fourth against Enter Miami,

Speaker 1: Atlanta United two and for the Philadelphia Union two. Then
Speaker 1: on the twenty ninth, but tonight seven o'clock pregame seven
Speaker 1: thirty three kick at Landy United two at Crown Legacy
Speaker 1: in the Eastern Conference. Once again we'll get into the
Speaker 1: stats and the standings in a bit. Chelsea opened to
Speaker 1: letting Mikailo Mudrick leave the club in January. Marseille interested
Speaker 1: in the twenty three year old Remember it was like
Speaker 1: a seventy set what is it? A sixty four million
Speaker 1: dollar price tag signed him to an eight year deal,
Speaker 1: so the the funds were broken up over eight years
Speaker 1: and the Mudric deal I think was the last deal
Speaker 1: in the queue before UEFA was like, no, you can
Speaker 1: only do five year deals and break up the funds.
Speaker 1: You can't do an eight Arsenal have open talks with
Speaker 1: Gabriel Muggalais, although talks with the Brazil international are in
Speaker 1: the early stages. Christian Erickson, linked with the leaving man
Speaker 1: Chester United in the summer one year left on his contract,
Speaker 1: says he did not consider leaving the old Trafford club
Speaker 1: for letter paper, Ral Sociodd and Martin Zubamendi regret not
Speaker 1: moving to Liverpool. Martin Zubamendi regrets not moving to Liverpool
Speaker 1: and wants Liverpool to come back in for him. Ac
Speaker 1: Milan Adviser's Laton has contacted former BRUSHA Dortmund boss Edin
Speaker 1: Teresich with a Palafonseka already under pressure. I remember we
Speaker 1: talked about the Derossi firing. Yesterday you brought in Yurich
Speaker 1: as Nick suspected. But it's all about the America for
Speaker 1: the American owners and the conglomerates. It's all about the Championship,
Speaker 1: the Champions League money and placing high to get into
Speaker 1: the Champions League to continue to churn that revenue. Inter
Speaker 1: Milan president Giuseppe Madota said the club were signed close
Speaker 1: to signing Erly Hollow when he was fifteen, only for
Speaker 1: red tape to scover the move. She didn't sign him.
Speaker 1: Digit Arsenal could lose Tomiyasu in January. Inter min Lan
Speaker 1: Napoli Juve interested three letter pap Ben Chilwell expected to
Speaker 1: leave Chelsea in January despite returning your first team training.
Speaker 1: Chelsea could appoint Session Gupta, the executive VP of the
Speaker 1: Minnesota Timberwo Wolves, to a role at the Stanford Bridge
Speaker 1: Club Newcastle monitoring Chelsea's eighteen year old right back josh
Speaker 1: A Chiampong, and could try to make a move for
Speaker 1: the U nineteen international in the summer. So that's your gossip, Brummer.

Speaker 1: Friends Too. You want to go, go, It's the last
Speaker 1: regular season home match of the season, so go and
Speaker 1: catch up with the twos, especially if you haven't seen
Speaker 1: them this year MLS Next Pro because of everything going
Speaker 1: on in MLS Next Pro schedule. For today, it's just
Speaker 1: the one game just at Landy United two and Crown
Speaker 1: Legacy at Matthew seven thirty is on Mlsnextpro dot Com
Speaker 1: and on the SDH Network once again seven o'clock pregame
Speaker 1: seven thirty three kick. Saturday. You have the two matches
Speaker 1: that are dancing around Major League Soccer games season pass
Speaker 1: as New England Chattanooga FC seven o'clock on Nextpro dot Com,
Speaker 1: Cascadia Next Pro Style Tacoma at Whitecaps two, and then
Speaker 1: that gets you into the standings. They leave Saturday alone. Sunday,
Speaker 1: a lot of folks play, and we'll get into that
Speaker 1: probably in the broadcast itself tonight as the twos take
Speaker 1: on Crown Legacy. Your standings in the East. Basically, here's
Speaker 1: how it is for at Landy United specifically, they gotta win,
Speaker 1: they gotta win out. Forty points is the magic number,
Speaker 1: and they've got to hope that no one gets north
Speaker 1: of forty. Atlanta United would finish with ten wins. Then
Speaker 1: you get into tie breakers with everyone else around them.
Speaker 1: The one that you have to worry about would be
Speaker 1: Red Bulls when it comes to goals scored tiebreakers themselves
Speaker 1: in order total number of wins, goal difference, goals for
Speaker 1: shootout wins, so total number of wins would be ten,
Speaker 1: you'd be tied, goal difference being your second category. Right
Speaker 1: now for Atlanta, you're at minus twenty. That's really gonna
Speaker 1: hurt you. So getting to that second tiebreaker is really
Speaker 1: going to hurt right now. Se Cincinnati two in forty
Speaker 1: eight points, Philadelphia forty six points. So the battle for
Speaker 1: the one and the two continuing Purple Team OCB is
Speaker 1: at forty three. Enter Miami too is a forty two
Speaker 1: with wins in my CFC two forty two and ten wins.
Speaker 1: Right now, they have a better goal difference than Columbus
Speaker 1: Crew two, who is the six. Fire to is the
Speaker 1: seven at forty one. Crown Legacy right now is the
Speaker 1: eight at forty Chattanooge FC at thirty eight Carolina Court
Speaker 1: thirty seven, Toronto FC two at thirty four, Red Bulls
Speaker 1: two at thirty three, at Landy United two at thirty one.
Speaker 1: So that's where we are. Landy Nighty two has got
Speaker 1: a win, win big and win them all and hope
Speaker 1: that no one clears forty points. So that's where we
Speaker 1: are heading into the weekend involving at Landy Nighty two.
Speaker 1: But it starts tonight. Starts tonight with the matchup at
Speaker 1: Crown Legacy seven o'clock pre game, seven to thirty three
Speaker 1: kick and so then from there it's the game at
Speaker 1: home the regular season finale on the twenty fourth, and
Speaker 1: then the twos in Philly in the regular season finale
Speaker 1: on Sunday the twenty ninth. So that's where we are
Speaker 1: with all of that. Let me quickly, let me check
Speaker 1: and see if there's anything else that I'm missing before
Speaker 1: we get out of here, and once again seven o'clock
Speaker 1: pre game. Back again for that. The CEO at al
Speaker 1: Nasra says, Christiano Ronaldo doesn't control the club. I believe

Speaker 1: would imagine that the second he is not in charge,
Speaker 1: that he will want to jet out the door. Unquestionably,
Speaker 1: Real Madrid is interested in Arsenal's William Saliba, according to
Speaker 1: The Independent, keen to reinforce their back line next summer.
