Speaker 1: First off, barbark John, before we start, we are going
Speaker 1: to put an embargo, for Bart's sake, on a certain
Speaker 1: school south of Pennsylvania. So we're gonna let's put an
Speaker 1: embargo on that right now. Bart had a bad enough
Speaker 1: week on that front.
Speaker 2: Did I drunkenly email the alumni Association and athletic department
Speaker 2: to cancel the donations I had made that week?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 1: Wow, so well, embargo the redacted place south south of Pennsylvania.
Speaker 4: We can just.
Speaker 5: You have enough problems without that.
Speaker 4: Wow, Bart, you sound like you're still attempting to recover
Speaker 4: from a brawl. Comma backyard, John, My soul is broken.
Speaker 3: Coaching. I didn't even have watched the Lama United game
Speaker 3: on Saturday.
Speaker 4: Neil Brown's the head coach.
Speaker 5: No, I know it did.
Speaker 4: Oh Pat Nardozy?
Speaker 5: Is Nordoozy still there? I feel like they've had the
Speaker 5: same coat.
Speaker 1: I feel like Nordoozy's been there since Dave Wanstad left.
Speaker 3: They had oh crap, not Todd Graham.
Speaker 4: God to Todd Graham.
Speaker 5: Well, I would imagine it's not Todd Graham. Because it
Speaker 5: was Todd Graham, this program might have shut down.
Speaker 4: Well well, and Todd would have left I think he
Speaker 4: did leave. What it's just basically Todd Graham goes in
Speaker 4: for a year coach.
Speaker 3: Anyway.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, I mean.
Speaker 2: My soul is not in a great place this morning.
Speaker 2: That's why I sound like I'm still recovering. Also, my
Speaker 2: voice is a little because I was busy yelling at
Speaker 2: a certain income poop who managed to.
Speaker 3: Again break my soul.
Speaker 4: So Todd Graham, Keith Patterson, Paul Chris, Joe, Rudolph Patnar, Doozy,
Speaker 4: I like to a coaching.
Speaker 2: Here for the good decade. Yeah, but Arsenal be Tottenham.
Speaker 2: That's great.
Speaker 4: Well we got We've got some reughing down here to
Speaker 4: talk about that one we do as a part of
Speaker 4: the discussion. But no, But first thing that I wanted
Speaker 4: to go into with you this morning is involving the
Speaker 4: the the promotional walk that was had at WBD the
Speaker 4: WBD Glass in cased building in New York City, where
Speaker 4: it is now officially official the US men's national team
Speaker 4: have a a new head coach, and we have not
Speaker 4: had you on since that promotional walk and subsequent press conference.
Speaker 4: Now that Mercia Pochettino is here, he is officially official.
Speaker 4: All of the Chelsea based contract elements have been apparently
Speaker 4: sorted and signed, and so now Mercia Pochettino, the worst
Speaker 4: kept secret and all of international is now nih ann
Speaker 4: and now part of the US soccer community. What say you,
Speaker 4: Bart Keeler.
Speaker 2: Well, I thought you heard a lot of similar things
Speaker 2: to what you would have heard and a Greg Borhalter conference,
Speaker 2: But you also heard a lot of different ideas but
Speaker 2: also framing of some concepts. You know, look, I don't
Speaker 2: think it's I don't think it's going to be a
Speaker 2: drastic change in how this team plays. You know, it'll
Speaker 2: still be a team that wants to have the ball.
Speaker 2: How they get that ball will be a little different.
Speaker 2: You know, he emphasized a lot of running off the ball,
Speaker 2: both defensively and offensively, and I think that specifically will
Speaker 2: be a key change.
Speaker 3: Is we've grown accustomed to seeing.
Speaker 2: The US national team be stagnant in possession and seem
Speaker 2: like they're out of ideas, and that to me comes
Speaker 2: from a lack of off wall movement for your teammates. And
Speaker 2: so that in particular could be an immediate change that
Speaker 2: unlocks the athleticism and fitness levels that American players have
Speaker 2: and uses them in a positive way. But he seems
Speaker 2: to you know, there's a reason he's been a very
Speaker 2: successful coach at a lot of big clubs is because
Speaker 2: he understands what he believes and how to communicate that
Speaker 2: to the players. And you know, it sounds again, there
Speaker 2: were some things he said that were similar to what
Speaker 2: Greg Burholter would say, but they sound different and they
Speaker 2: are framed differently. And then there's a lot of different
Speaker 2: things that he mentioned and those are what I'm hoping
Speaker 2: that we can see bear out in the these next
Speaker 2: two windows.
Speaker 4: Jared with bart on the national team, anything in your
Speaker 4: mind from the signings and.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, I guess what's your I guess runway with
Speaker 1: this where you're kind of is what's the runway like
Speaker 1: in terms of, hey, there might be some bumps in
Speaker 1: the road while we get everything installed, while people get acclimated,
Speaker 1: that sort of thing. You know, what's what's your runway
Speaker 1: here with like how comfort how how long you're comfortable
Speaker 1: with just kind of maybe hiccups for lack of a
Speaker 1: better word. I know, we're two years out from a
Speaker 1: World Cup, so we only have so much time.
Speaker 2: Well, I think, you know, he said himself that they're
Speaker 2: not going to make excuses and they're not going to,
Speaker 2: you know, look at this and say, oh, well, we
Speaker 2: don't have the time, and he said there is time,
Speaker 2: so he wants us to hold them to that standard.
Speaker 2: But you know, I think you have two friendlies in
Speaker 2: October where it will probably be a little rough to
Speaker 2: watch the team figure out what they're supposed to do.
Speaker 3: At given times during the game.
Speaker 2: But again, I don't think that there will be a
Speaker 2: drastic change from what we were trying to do with
Speaker 2: Burhalter versus what we were trying to will be trying.
Speaker 3: To do with Buchettino.
Speaker 2: I do think there will be key points of emphasis
Speaker 2: that are different, and I think those are the things
Speaker 2: that Patch in the immediate time frame can communicate with
Speaker 2: the team and say look this this, this is great,
Speaker 2: but this is what I want you to do, or
Speaker 2: these are the things you need to be worried about
Speaker 2: off the ball and on the ball. But then you know,
Speaker 2: in November you get into Nations League, and as much
Speaker 2: as we joke about playing a Caribbean country in the
Speaker 2: middle of November, Greg Burhalter's team struggled against these early
Speaker 2: round Nations League's opponents in this kind of secondary tier
Speaker 2: in Conca Calf and you know you don't have the
Speaker 2: runway to screw up there because you need to be
Speaker 2: in that nation's league final come March. Because you know
Speaker 2: the amount of truly competitive matches.
Speaker 3: Is very low going into the next.
Speaker 2: World Cup, and you need to use these as preparation
Speaker 2: to be able to, you know, respond when a team
Speaker 2: that is playing for something comes out and hit you
Speaker 2: in the mouth. Because we saw that happen in Collpa America,
Speaker 2: where a team that was playing for something and playing
Speaker 2: with some passion that our team clearly didn't have, you know,
Speaker 2: when they came out and punched us in the mouth,
Speaker 2: we took that and stepped back a few steps and
Speaker 2: didn't really have a response. So those are important games
Speaker 2: because we know that those teams, and this is something
Speaker 2: he also touched on in the press conference, those teams
Speaker 2: come to compete, they come to fight, and they come
Speaker 2: with every game. And if those aren't exist, if those
Speaker 2: don't exist within the team every single time they step
Speaker 2: foot on the field, which they have not under Greg Burholter,
Speaker 2: and I think he is very much to blame for that,
Speaker 2: despite people's wanting to blame players. Yes, Greg never approached
Speaker 2: a friendly as a doer die situation, and to be
Speaker 2: quite honest, from the sounds of the press conferences leading up,
Speaker 2: he did not approach Copo America as a doer die situation.
Speaker 2: And you know the Argentinian desperation, the Argentinian passion hopefully translates.
Speaker 3: From Bodgettino to the US mistational.
Speaker 4: Team looking at just some of the quick quotes from
Speaker 4: the opportunity football is to touch the right button and
Speaker 4: start to perform. And we need to really believe in
Speaker 4: achieving big things. We need to believe that we can win,
Speaker 4: that we can win, not only a game, that we
Speaker 4: can win the World Cup end quote. And she said
Speaker 4: players are so intelligence, so talented, they can play in
Speaker 4: a different way. For sure. I think we have time
Speaker 4: to integrate whatever philosophy that Mercy Pochattino wants. He says,
Speaker 4: the circumstances after the Copo America situation weren't good for
Speaker 4: the players to manage in the last two games. But
Speaker 4: the most important thing is to see the potential that
Speaker 4: we have. I see very good players end quote. I
Speaker 4: send the message to every single player around the world.
Speaker 4: They have the door open. Considering that no MLS players
Speaker 4: saw Copa action and twenty three to the twenty six
Speaker 4: were European based. Cade Cal, the late replacement for Geo Rena,
Speaker 4: was the only Mexico based US player called into the
Speaker 4: last three camps. So obviously Pochettino's trying to hit the
Speaker 4: right buttons in the press conference. He's trying to win
Speaker 4: the press conference by saying things that folks want to hear.
Speaker 2: Right, Absolutely, he he has experienced this. He's been at
Speaker 2: a lot of clubs and you know he's that.
Speaker 3: That's why I do think that to an extent.
Speaker 2: It it's he's going to say the right things and
Speaker 2: say them in the right way, because there's a reason
Speaker 2: he got hired at places like Tottenham, like PSG, like Chelsea.
Speaker 2: But the fact that he for the most part has
Speaker 2: been able to take what he says in a press
Speaker 2: conference and then apply that and communicate that.
Speaker 3: Is different than I think again that we had with the.
Speaker 2: Guy previous because and I'm sorry, like it's just I'm
Speaker 2: not trying to make Greteck out to be this terrible coach,
Speaker 2: because your Clinson is a terrible coach.
Speaker 3: Greg Burholter is just wasn't doing his job well this
Speaker 3: past cycle.
Speaker 4: The recency attachment is where you are with your discussion.
Speaker 2: But the yeah, but the reality is, John, we had
Speaker 2: to make a stark decision after the Copa America tournament
Speaker 2: to move on from the guy who, in theory, was
Speaker 2: hired to get.
Speaker 3: Us to the next World Cup.
Speaker 2: So you are going to compare them, and again, I
Speaker 2: just think I go back to the idea of intensity
Speaker 2: and urgency where he talks about, you know, we're not
Speaker 2: here to play, we're here to compete, talking about the players,
Speaker 2: talking more about the players, about how his coaching staff
Speaker 2: will be evaluating them from day one. You know, nothing
Speaker 2: is not No opportunity to evaluate players' ability to compete
Speaker 2: and perform in a match is going unused, and hopefully
Speaker 2: that translates to actual winning. And I think if any
Speaker 2: US fan will tell you that sometimes winning isn't even enough.
Speaker 2: You know, beating Trinidad by the skinning your teeth and
Speaker 2: a two legged tie isn't enough. You know, barely qualifying
Speaker 2: for the twenty twenty two World Cup by finishing third
Speaker 2: is not enough.
Speaker 3: If you're going to be the big dog in the region,
Speaker 3: you need to dominate the region. And hopefully this beentality.
Speaker 2: These minor adjustments to this playing style can help.
Speaker 4: Bart Keeler hanging out with US at Bartabas Prime nineteen
Speaker 4: for the Soccer for USPOD at Soccer for the Soccer
Speaker 4: for US POD at Soccer for US POD on the
Speaker 4: two hundred and eighty character app also on the table
Speaker 4: this morning. I do want to get into the late
Speaker 4: night that some of us had watching activities Columbia. We
Speaker 4: will get into that. We've also got some reffing down
Speaker 4: here for Bart and Bart I'm gonna try to keep
Speaker 4: you for fifteen minutes so you don't completely and totally
Speaker 4: blow out your voice. So Will I will try to
Speaker 4: keep you till ten thirty and just that way you
Speaker 4: can get into your your honey and diving into everything else, Jared,
Speaker 4: anything else on your mind US national team wise, before
Speaker 4: we head to the youth national team and the chaos
Speaker 4: last night in Colombia.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I know he left it open, so you know, look,
Speaker 1: everybody's on the table here.
Speaker 5: Any kind of off the wall that you're looking at
Speaker 5: for people who are eligible who maybe have fallen out
Speaker 5: of favor to get back into the mix for the
Speaker 5: US national team.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think the one that has the biggest I
Speaker 2: guess opportunity to get back into this group is maybe
Speaker 2: a Jordan p Fock, who has been playing really well
Speaker 2: at top level leagues for several seasons in a row
Speaker 2: and has just clearly not been favored by Burrhalter.
Speaker 3: Right, And I'm not saying that he is.
Speaker 2: Definitively better than any of the strikers we've seen, but
Speaker 2: he's clearly doing something right for club, and so like,
Speaker 2: I like that as someone who I think just can
Speaker 2: benefit from just different eyes looking.
Speaker 3: At the playerpool.
Speaker 2: But I've said a whole long I mean, look, the
Speaker 2: reality is the playerpool is what the playerpool is.
Speaker 3: And if you don't think that Tim.
Speaker 2: Way At, Christian Polistic, Georena Wester McKenney, you know, if
Speaker 2: those guys aren't the best players we have, Jedi Robinson
Speaker 2: and Serginio Desk aren't the two best fullbacks we have,
Speaker 2: then I don't know if I can you're a reliable
Speaker 2: narrator in the story right now, because that's just the issue.
Speaker 3: Now. There are going to be some French players that
Speaker 3: I think can benefit, you know, and.
Speaker 2: There might be guys who are currently with the team
Speaker 2: that get a little bit more priority I'm thinking maybe
Speaker 2: a Luca Delatore, possibly Marlon Fosse. But at the same time,
Speaker 2: it's the player pool is not going to just magically
Speaker 2: get better.
Speaker 3: You know. What we hope is.
Speaker 2: The players who come into camp respond to what he's
Speaker 2: telling them and can execute better.
Speaker 4: For those that decided to stay up and knew where
Speaker 4: to find it. FS two. The chaos that was happening
Speaker 4: last night in the tournament that is going on in
Speaker 4: Collie and various and sundry other cities, the U twenty
Speaker 4: World Cup. The US is now in the Semis once again.
Speaker 4: Local love Jordan Dudley, Riley Jackson a part of this.
Speaker 4: The US was down two nil in the second half,
Speaker 4: and I would swear up and down that there were
Speaker 4: two chances for penalties to be called in the seventies
Speaker 4: in the eighties that were not so. Germany had a
Speaker 4: two nil league going into ninety plus. The US scores
Speaker 4: at ninety plus seven. The US scores at ninety plus
Speaker 4: eight to equalize to send it to an extra thirty
Speaker 4: players just basically tried to survive and not to totally,
Speaker 4: you know, cramp up. In that thirty minutes, it goes
Speaker 4: to peak US wins three to one in PKS, and
Speaker 4: the chaos that was there bordered on truthfully national team
Speaker 4: after dark. I mean it was out of control last night.
Speaker 4: But the US makes it to the Semis and the
Speaker 4: U twenty Women's World Cup come back for the ages,
Speaker 4: and yeah, and the way that it's being looked at
Speaker 4: its goals at ninety plus eight and ninety plus nine
Speaker 4: as opposed to ninety plus seven and ninety plus eight.
Speaker 4: So yeah, go ahead and go ahead and add to that.
Speaker 4: So ninety plus eight, ninety plus nine, you down two, Neil,
Speaker 4: you tie it to you go to PKS, you win
Speaker 4: in PKS, You're now in the Semis. Holy ish.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well got a great point like this is I mean,
Speaker 2: we got our we The second goal Germany scored was
Speaker 2: even late, right.
Speaker 3: I Mean that was the thing that I wasn't able
Speaker 3: to I wasn't able.
Speaker 2: To watch this game because I was flying back from Pittsburgh,
Speaker 2: which I will maintain as one of the most underrated
Speaker 2: cities in this country. And so I'm like, I'm able
Speaker 2: to keep up with it on Twitter, and I'm getting
Speaker 2: the notifications I have landed.
Speaker 3: I'm on Marta like all these things.
Speaker 4: And.
Speaker 2: I did I don't want to say I turned it off,
Speaker 2: but because I didn't, but like I was like, all right,
Speaker 2: well that sucks. But as my continual stance is, you
Speaker 2: know the goal of these youth tournaments is to get
Speaker 2: there to show well. And with most youth tournaments, the
Speaker 2: crap shoot is a crap shoot. Make the knockouts and
Speaker 2: see what can happen. And hey, look, Germany is not
Speaker 2: a bad team.
Speaker 3: They clearly have talent.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: And you know from watching the highlights, it's not like
Speaker 2: the US got completely dominated. It's just the fact that
Speaker 2: Germany got a penalty kick called for them to Actually
Speaker 2: we saved one in the first half. And we'll talk
Speaker 2: about that in just a second, because I want to
Speaker 2: talk about that young lady. But that is to go
Speaker 2: back to a po Chattino for a second. He mentioned
Speaker 2: the US women multiple times in his press conference as
Speaker 2: being the model of how to compete, how to fight,
Speaker 2: how to win, and they showed that last night. Why
Speaker 2: this program, uh, you know, despite Tracy Kevin's coaching them,
Speaker 2: is finding ways.
Speaker 4: To win games.
Speaker 3: Yeah, well yeah, I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: I just I think ran about Tracy Kevins and I
Speaker 2: don't know why she's still employed. But I think the
Speaker 2: thing John is and this is where for all those
Speaker 2: who bemoaned somehow that this talent was gone from the
Speaker 2: US team, this is one of the most professionally infused
Speaker 2: rosters we I think it's the most professionally infused roster
Speaker 2: we've ever sent to.
Speaker 3: Any these competition, in World Cup competition.
Speaker 2: And I think that was one of those things that
Speaker 2: shined last night is you saw players who understood what
Speaker 2: it meant to physically and mentally fight to get a
Speaker 2: result because they have to do that with their CLIP teams,
Speaker 2: right especially in NWSL, where you know every week it
Speaker 2: seems like we have a new team that's out in
Speaker 2: and in the playoffs. There's a lot of stake in NWSL,
Speaker 2: and so that that to me was what came through
Speaker 2: last night and the quality and the determination of these players.
Speaker 4: And it's it was absolutely insane to see that match
Speaker 4: go the way that it did.
Speaker 2: I mean, John, that last goal was that sent Nora
Speaker 2: scored was was determination and grit.
Speaker 3: She just beat the goalkeeper to the wall.
Speaker 4: Yep.
Speaker 3: And again that that is talent, but that is desire.
Speaker 2: That is playing hard, playing through the whistle, and that
Speaker 2: was it was a wonderful comeback, and then we could
Speaker 2: talk about her It's teague and why who not only
Speaker 2: saved the penal in the game, yes, had the game
Speaker 2: winning safe after as you mentioned, hometown girl Riley Jackson
Speaker 2: the third penalty kick that sealed it. Basically, but T
Speaker 2: and I had a fantastic game end goals.
Speaker 3: As a whole. She looks.
Speaker 2: I haven't been sold on her before this tournament, to
Speaker 2: be quite honest, mainly because it's hard. It's really hard
Speaker 2: to tell and cocky cap competition. It just as I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: but she has bawled out this World Cup in my opinion,
Speaker 2: And whoever ends up drafting her or not drafting her anymore,
Speaker 2: whoever ends up signing her in NWSL or possibly abroad,
Speaker 2: I mean, I think she would make a team like
Speaker 2: nine Arsenal a thousand times better. She's going to make
Speaker 2: a fan base very happy.
Speaker 4: It's it will be intriguing, to say the very least,
Speaker 4: when it comes to what you're looking at from the
Speaker 4: group that was there, it was it has been a
Speaker 4: great watch to see them work their way through the
Speaker 4: tournament and getting into the semis. You know, that is
Speaker 4: that it's been. That's been a fun watch so far.
Speaker 4: All right, so seven minutes. Like I said, I'm gonna
Speaker 4: keep you to thirty so that way your voice doesn't die.
Speaker 4: There was some raffing down here this week, and one
Speaker 4: of them has to do with moments in the other
Speaker 4: match that you were paying attention to that has nothing
Speaker 4: to do with the backyard brawl, the possible kind of
Speaker 4: a backyard brawl. But yeah, true, that is absolutely true. Yeah.
Speaker 4: The the nld as it is either hashtag or you know,
Speaker 4: I like, if you're one of the cool kids and
Speaker 4: you refer to it, you know as the nld the
Speaker 4: North London Derby, you have to do the finger pistols.
Speaker 3: Not to be confused with the nld S.
Speaker 4: No, no, no no. That would be an early round
Speaker 4: of the playoffs. Arsenal knocking off Spurs one nil. Mikhail
Speaker 4: Arteta admitted that he lost sleep trying to figure out
Speaker 4: what his lineup was going to be. I'd like to
Speaker 4: thank him for the back line that he did construct,
Speaker 4: because that really did help me out in fantasy this
Speaker 4: past week. I gave him full credit for that, and
Speaker 4: I started Gabrielle the red card on the Urian Timber
Speaker 4: foul on Pedro poro, contact with the ball, then contact
Speaker 4: with the player. The ref shows yellow to Urian timber
Speaker 4: checked by var for a potential red it was waved
Speaker 4: off as no red card. And this goes off of
Speaker 4: the Curtis Jones ives Busuma challenge about a year ago.
Speaker 4: But there are things that you look into account about
Speaker 4: force and getting to the ball first in contact with
Speaker 4: the player. Walk us through that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think specific to the incident you are looking at,
Speaker 2: we can't judge intent, John, but you can kind of
Speaker 2: infer intent to play the ball, right, And so this
Speaker 2: to me wasn't a red card worthy because this was
Speaker 2: within a natural action of play, okay, right.
Speaker 3: The player was in control of himself for the most part.
Speaker 2: While he may have been careless slash reckless with his challenge,
Speaker 2: he was in control.
Speaker 3: He was doing something within a normal play of the game. Right.
Speaker 3: This was not.
Speaker 2: Serious foul play by any stretch. And that's just what
Speaker 2: we're looking for. If you look at this and go, yeah,
Speaker 2: that serious foul play? Was that something that was, you know,
Speaker 2: using his body to target and flick pain on another
Speaker 2: part of the other person's body. You know, just because
Speaker 2: there is a nasty challenge doesn't always mean that it's
Speaker 2: a red card. And I thought this was a decent
Speaker 2: example of just going through this step of okay.
Speaker 3: Careless, yes, reckless absolutely serious foul play no, because it wasn't.
Speaker 2: Foul play, right, and this was just well, yeah, you
Speaker 2: miss time to challenge. You may maybe miss aligned your
Speaker 2: challenge if you will.
Speaker 4: Your aim was off, the challenge was misaligned.
Speaker 2: But this was not to me. This was just not
Speaker 2: an example of serious foul play. And so therefore it's
Speaker 2: not a red card. It's not dog so it's not
Speaker 2: any it's not any of those things, right. This is
Speaker 2: within the natural realm of playing soccer.
Speaker 4: Then the one of the other points that I wanted
Speaker 4: to discuss had to do with and we see this
Speaker 4: a lot where you will have a save made by
Speaker 4: a keeper and it's a parry or a push or
Speaker 4: what have you. The save is made by the keeper
Speaker 4: and it forces another outbound motion. He doesn't hang on
Speaker 4: to it. He's either pushing it, parrying it. You know,
Speaker 4: it's a you know, a reflex action to push it
Speaker 4: away from the body. So you get that reflex action
Speaker 4: or the perry from the keeper and it goes into
Speaker 4: a player whose arms are away from the silhouette. And
Speaker 4: it's not just because on the rebound off of the
Speaker 4: save it hits an arm that's outside the silhouette. The
Speaker 4: handball no handball discussion comes up because while the player's
Speaker 4: hands are away from his body, it's not a natural position,
Speaker 4: but it's coming off of a goalkeeper save. Action's the
Speaker 4: what's the idea there?
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think this is I think we had a
Speaker 3: handball discussion.
Speaker 2: Yeah, in the REV scheme that kind of fell under
Speaker 2: this as well, where yes, you want to have them
Speaker 2: not have you know, the arm outside the natural silhouette
Speaker 2: of the body. We are looking for if this is
Speaker 2: a relatively natural position for the arm if you're trying
Speaker 2: to play soccer, right, But we also do try to
Speaker 2: take into account a little bit the ability to.
Speaker 3: React or not be at fault of a weird deflection.
Speaker 4: Right. You know.
Speaker 2: The other thing that needs to be side is you
Speaker 2: cannot score directly from a handball. So if the attack,
Speaker 2: if this were, you know, the attacker hitting their arm
Speaker 2: and then they score, you can't do that. So you know,
Speaker 2: there's there's obviously when the ball hits your hand from
Speaker 2: a short distance or a random deflection, unless you're the attacker.
Speaker 3: Who then scores.
Speaker 2: Yes, we're not really looking to call that because you
Speaker 2: have to allow for some.
Speaker 3: You have to understand that the ball is going to
Speaker 3: hit you in.
Speaker 2: Random places on your body because it bounces randomly. Unfortunately,
Speaker 2: though it's a sphere, it does not always act in
Speaker 2: a logical manner.
Speaker 4: Mm hmm. Okay, So, like I said, I just I
Speaker 4: wanted to run through those particular moments and get your
Speaker 4: thoughts on it on a on a purposefully shortened segment
Speaker 4: with you, because like I said, if you don't have
Speaker 4: your pipes, then it doesn't help you out and having
Speaker 4: discussions with other folks doing the pipes.
Speaker 2: Are there there just tired John.
Speaker 4: The rest of the bodies kind of trying to catch up,
Speaker 4: but just tired, tired of playing the game. Huh, tired
Speaker 4: of tired of being insane. Yeah, absolutely true. All right,
Speaker 4: so we will let you. We will let you go
Speaker 4: and get get in a morning nap or anything else
Speaker 4: that you need to do. The honey, and I.
Speaker 3: Am at work currently, so that won't happen.
Speaker 4: Well, well, know what you need to do is you
Speaker 4: need to create like under the desk, like George Costanza,
Speaker 4: what help do the same kind of a thing where
Speaker 4: you can kind of hollow out your desk and turn
Speaker 4: it into a living space so you can actually sit
Speaker 4: there and function and do more than one thing, and
Speaker 4: folks can sit there and wonder where you are. They
Speaker 4: open the door and they don't see you sitting at
Speaker 4: your desk, and you're like, you know, I'm underneath my desk.

Speaker 4: the back and forth fourth quarter that I know probably
Speaker 4: took ten years off of your life. And we will
Speaker 4: catch up with you when we'll catch up with you,
Speaker 4: obviously in this sense next week, and obviously if anything
Speaker 4: else happens when it comes to national team stuff or
