Speaker 1: Uh, here we go, Here we go with Bruce Burry
Speaker 1: Dave Johnson. It's first eleven, yes, eleven minutes or less.
Speaker 1: We give you the latest on DC and I is
Speaker 1: we get set for the New England Revolution on Wednesday night. Now, yes,
Speaker 1: it was a letdown after that thrilling Open Cup win
Speaker 1: in two nothing lost of New York Red Bulls and
Speaker 1: DC and I is struggling to score in league play.
Speaker 1: We'll get to that in a moment. But at the
Speaker 1: other end of the field, Louis Barrazza now broken.
Speaker 2: Up in midfield, the Red Bulls a ball through to Valencia, Valencia,
Speaker 2: I'm winning. A foot raceman rolls to flex across, but
Speaker 2: now it comes to force Worth.
Speaker 1: Barazzas stones up ten yards from the Endlins, Bruce Burray,
Speaker 1: what are you seeing from Louis Barrazza as he has
Speaker 1: really secured that starting goalkeeper role.
Speaker 3: First of all, he's a veteran of six years and
Speaker 3: he's seen pretty much everything. And you know, his positioning
Speaker 3: is really good, you know what. I call him as
Speaker 3: quick as Kim latterly know. But he's at this point
Speaker 3: a better a goalkeeper, better option at this point right now.
Speaker 1: But finishing has been a challenge.
Speaker 2: Kajima goes now through the box to murlw Meryle Jurns
Speaker 2: left for a shot saved by Cornell Oh twelve yards
Speaker 2: twelve yards a goal and left foot a shot by
Speaker 2: Merle is saying.
Speaker 1: By Cornell, Jacob Murle working so hard, just not able
Speaker 1: to finish.
Speaker 4: You got to be a killer. You just have to.
Speaker 3: You have to find a way to get it in
Speaker 3: the back of the net. The shot that Jacob hit,
Speaker 3: he did everything right, and then the shot wasn't of
Speaker 3: the quality necessary to be. You know, a goalkeeper like
Speaker 3: Cornell we're talking of, we expect because we've seen these goals.
Speaker 3: We expect more, you know, like we expect we expect
Speaker 3: him bope out of out of Jacob.
Speaker 4: But you know he's not. He's two years in the league. Man,
Speaker 4: he's twenty two years old, Dave.
Speaker 3: They have to run a basically what you would call
Speaker 3: a three man weave in basketball. They have to have
Speaker 3: three wingers in front of eight. The eight defend. If
Speaker 3: you can get up the field, great, if not, stay
Speaker 3: back let those guys run. It's what the national team
Speaker 3: does because they don't have Josie Altador, they.
Speaker 4: Don't have Brian McBride.
Speaker 3: They don't have that big center forward that they need, uh,
Speaker 3: and that is what we have to do. We cannot
Speaker 3: hit and hope to Jacob Merle, it's not gonna work.
Speaker 4: It's just going to.
Speaker 3: Continue to keep coming back to you and eventually it's attrition.
Speaker 3: Eventually is going to kill you. It's gonna it's gonna
Speaker 3: you know, it's.
Speaker 4: Gonna blow up and they're going to score.
Speaker 1: And you know all too well about turnovers, turnover.
Speaker 2: And Schoper mulching play said, why now the Carmona left
Speaker 2: of the area, Carmona fob of the box, Foursburg Firs
Speaker 2: springs at the Harper, Harper the shot, the goal, tampern
Speaker 2: Harper scores, turnover leads to a goal.
Speaker 1: And for Lucas mcnonten.
Speaker 5: I think just limiting the transitions and the giveaways and
Speaker 5: trying to play in their half. What they're really good
Speaker 5: at is second balls, playing over the top, playing behind you,
Speaker 5: making you uncomfortable in whatever situation that is. You see,
Speaker 5: when their center backs have the ball, they don't really
Speaker 5: think about playing through balls, playing through the middle. They
Speaker 5: just want to put in behind you and cause you trouble.
Speaker 5: And so if you limit your mistakes.
Speaker 4: That's the that's the hard part.
Speaker 3: You immediately have to you know, get everyone galvanized. You know,
Speaker 3: where do you need to be. Lucas Parlan does a
Speaker 3: great job as a communicator. Like I said, you know
Speaker 3: in the pregame, is probably a little bit wrong and skewed,
Speaker 3: saying fifty percent of the time.
Speaker 4: But man, you give it away in this league, Dave,
Speaker 4: they'll punish it.
Speaker 1: Now getting back to that thrilling Open Cup victory. Yeah,
Speaker 1: DC and I one on the day but lost their
Speaker 1: pizza money.
Speaker 2: We're still buzzing about the other night and we can
Speaker 2: do that. L Abana putting the ball on the spot.
Speaker 2: Jordan Varn has made three saves in this penalty shootout.
Speaker 2: Whistle sounds Abana of pumpts and inside Jordan far Fur
Speaker 2: saves time in.
Speaker 1: The quarter finals for these you.
Speaker 2: Jordan Farr makes four saves to allow DC and I
Speaker 2: had to advance their quarterfinals. Now, you know, teams have fun.
Speaker 2: This is camarader You had a little you have some
Speaker 2: a pot of money based on who's late and fines
Speaker 2: and that type of thing, and you've you've lost it
Speaker 2: all because of Jordan Farr.
Speaker 5: Well, first, of all, thank you for having me. Yep,
Speaker 5: and uh yeah, funny story. I mean, when when a
Speaker 5: keeper gets subbed into a game, you know he's done
Speaker 5: amazingly in training. We obviously pactice penalty kicks and you
Speaker 5: see that he's he's got reflexes like a cat. He's
Speaker 5: jumping all over the place and making it safe. So
Speaker 5: coach's decision put him in, and us watching from the
Speaker 5: from the box, we're saying, you know, we have this
Speaker 5: pizza party and then in the year, if guys come late,
Speaker 5: we get fines and we start betting this this big
Speaker 5: pot of money, saying Jordan's gonna save two penalties and
Speaker 5: end up saying four, so we lost all the money.
Speaker 5: But yeah, he's he's a legend already in this club.
Speaker 2: Well, I think we can get a bunch of supporters together.
Speaker 2: We'll throw a pizza party for Jordan and the rest
Speaker 2: of you. Because that was a night to remember for
Speaker 2: DC Night.
Speaker 1: And that's why we show up or tune in. You
Speaker 1: never know what to expect. DC toned New England Revolution.
