WEBVTT 1 00:00:27.039 --> 00:00:29.440 Bases drop throwing it around of sdh am, sorry about 2 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:35.399 nine oh six. I don't I don't know if if 3 00:00:35.439 --> 00:00:41.759 this happens to you at all, But when when well, 4 00:00:41.799 --> 00:00:43.359 first and foremost, how many of you had the power 5 00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:47.200 go out last night? Just checking? And you know, for 6 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:50.159 us here at office HD, it was kind of flickery, 7 00:00:50.679 --> 00:00:55.039 and it was between ten and eleven where you had 8 00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:58.000 the power would it would and it would be like 9 00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.159 the whole transformer thing where it would go on and 10 00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:02.200 off and on and off and on and off, and 11 00:01:02.240 --> 00:01:05.560 it would be really annoying and you would basically have 12 00:01:05.640 --> 00:01:09.760 to sit there and turn off everything so you wouldn't 13 00:01:09.799 --> 00:01:12.560 have anything like short out. I mean literally here in 14 00:01:12.599 --> 00:01:14.920 the office, I had to turn out all the monitors 15 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:17.840 and everything so when the power would come back on, 16 00:01:18.680 --> 00:01:20.599 you wouldn't have a monitor pop back off. And then 17 00:01:20.599 --> 00:01:22.719 when the power would go back up, the monitor goes off. 18 00:01:22.719 --> 00:01:24.480 And you don't want power surges and all that kind 19 00:01:24.480 --> 00:01:28.120 of stuff anyway, So turned off everything here in the 20 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:29.920 office because I kind of got fed up with everything 21 00:01:29.920 --> 00:01:32.959 and I was just watching what was going on on 22 00:01:33.319 --> 00:01:36.920 like devices and stuff. So that was that was kind 23 00:01:36.920 --> 00:01:40.359 of the late evening aspect of things, But I kind 24 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:45.319 of forget that not everything immediately turns on or immediately 25 00:01:45.359 --> 00:01:47.719 turns off, and you know, every single time everything comes 26 00:01:47.760 --> 00:01:51.480 back on, not everything comes back on with it. Case endpoint. 27 00:01:51.560 --> 00:01:57.200 The computer literally the first time that everything went off 28 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:01.439 last night, computer didn't turn back on. You know, I think, 29 00:02:01.560 --> 00:02:03.760 I'm thinking it's like everything else, you know, Okay, so 30 00:02:03.799 --> 00:02:06.239 the power's back on, computer will turn back on and reboot. No, 31 00:02:07.239 --> 00:02:10.960 So it took me trying to remember, oh yeah, you've 32 00:02:10.960 --> 00:02:13.599 got to reboot the computer and turn it on separately 33 00:02:13.800 --> 00:02:17.879 before things could be what they are. So that's why 34 00:02:18.000 --> 00:02:20.560 that's why nine oh six was nine oh six morning, Alex. 35 00:02:21.560 --> 00:02:24.599 We do have all the transfer news to get into overseas, 36 00:02:24.719 --> 00:02:28.240 everyone is moving all of the deck chairs around trying 37 00:02:28.240 --> 00:02:31.080 to figure out, okay, who's in, who's not, who's going where. 38 00:02:31.120 --> 00:02:34.240 We'll get into all that this morning. We've also got 39 00:02:34.719 --> 00:02:37.159 a preview of League's Cup. We've also got to review 40 00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:41.759 what happened on Saturday and Friday and Saturday in Major 41 00:02:41.840 --> 00:02:44.080 League Soccer to get you ready for League's Cup. They 42 00:02:44.080 --> 00:02:46.879 actually have seeds and seeding and things like that for 43 00:02:48.560 --> 00:02:52.680 leagues cups. So if I mentioned like the twenty eighth seed. 44 00:02:52.759 --> 00:02:55.800 I think at Landy United and the cocksar twenty eight 45 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.599 and twenty nine of the thirty six. So if I 46 00:02:59.680 --> 00:03:03.199 mentioned and seeds, that's where that came from. So we go. 47 00:03:03.280 --> 00:03:05.400 We'll go over the weekend in Major League Soccer. Go 48 00:03:05.439 --> 00:03:07.439 over the rest of the clubs. Get you ready for 49 00:03:07.520 --> 00:03:10.439 League's Cup, Go into juice boxes, get into your previews. 50 00:03:10.479 --> 00:03:14.199 There there's some news to get into, there's some stuff 51 00:03:14.199 --> 00:03:18.840 below the radar to get into. And Kayler Hodges is 52 00:03:18.879 --> 00:03:21.039 going to join us at ten thirty because it is 53 00:03:21.120 --> 00:03:23.800 the last Tuesday of the month, and so that means 54 00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:27.000 we catch up with everything going on in USL With Kayler. 55 00:03:27.039 --> 00:03:30.080 We get to find out about their road trip to Portland, 56 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:33.599 Maine and find out what that was like where Portland, 57 00:03:33.680 --> 00:03:39.039 Maine and Vermont Green they're really turning into stuff that 58 00:03:39.080 --> 00:03:40.840 we kind of knew, but now the rest of the 59 00:03:40.879 --> 00:03:46.000 country is learning about just how the sport is up there. 60 00:03:46.680 --> 00:03:52.159 Full disclosure. We are chasing after our friends at Vermont 61 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:56.520 Green and Vermont Green and Ballard are playing for the 62 00:03:56.719 --> 00:03:59.759 championship in USL League two this weekend, so hopefully we 63 00:03:59.800 --> 00:04:02.439 can have some representation and that before the week is out. 64 00:04:02.840 --> 00:04:05.280 Looks like we're gonna catch up with our friends at 65 00:04:05.360 --> 00:04:11.719 HICKORYFC because they are playing in the NPSL Championship. Head 66 00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:13.960 coach Carlos Rubio. I've given him a couple of time 67 00:04:14.000 --> 00:04:18.680 slots Tomorrow, Thursday, and Friday. I know that Carlos kind 68 00:04:18.720 --> 00:04:22.000 of when he wanders around the Lenor Ryan campus. He's 69 00:04:22.040 --> 00:04:24.079 an early guy. So he's probably gonna be an hour 70 00:04:24.160 --> 00:04:26.759 number one at some point over the next couple of 71 00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:29.560 days because they're getting ready to travel out to El 72 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:33.240 Fadalito to play in the NPSL Championship and that's going 73 00:04:33.319 --> 00:04:35.959 to be at keys Our Stadium late Saturday night our time. 74 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.959 So Hickory is heading out to El Fadalito and we'll 75 00:04:40.959 --> 00:04:43.240 catch up with head coach Carlos Rubio of Hickory FC 76 00:04:43.600 --> 00:04:46.360 that week is what we're doing. And so we'll catch 77 00:04:46.399 --> 00:04:52.360 up with him in a little bit. Getting ready for practice. Yeah, 78 00:04:52.399 --> 00:04:57.439 it's getting ready for practice in conditions that are suboptimal 79 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:00.920 for human beings. And so yeah, and so I'm waiting, 80 00:05:01.160 --> 00:05:03.120 So Maddie, are you prepped? Are are you? Are you 81 00:05:03.240 --> 00:05:06.639 locked in? Okay, So just checking.

Hello, Hello, there we go. 83 00:05:16.480 --> 00:05:20.040 Now there it is, Yes, there it is full, full, full, 84 00:05:20.160 --> 00:05:20.759 full picture. 85 00:05:22.319 --> 00:05:25.120 Well nothing the sun because if I put it in 86 00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:27.120 the song last time and overheat it, So I'm keeping 87 00:05:27.120 --> 00:05:28.279 it like right on the vent. 88 00:05:28.519 --> 00:05:30.240 So we're hoping that the States. 89 00:05:30.639 --> 00:05:34.000 Yeah. Uh, just wanted to check in with you as 90 00:05:34.040 --> 00:05:37.120 you get ready for practice at the Children's Self Care 91 00:05:37.120 --> 00:05:39.759 of Atlanta training ground. Getting ready for Atlanta United and 92 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:42.959 Nikosa tomorrow in a League's Cup. I think we have 93 00:05:43.000 --> 00:05:45.240 to say it with that kind of emphasis. The COSA, 94 00:05:45.360 --> 00:05:46.839 you know, just one of those kinds of things where 95 00:05:46.839 --> 00:05:48.839 you sit there and you wake everybody up. Oh, there 96 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:50.600 she goes, and she turns it looking it. 97 00:05:50.560 --> 00:05:51.040 The other way. 98 00:05:51.160 --> 00:05:56.040 That might be. That's fine, it's a steering whel you're 99 00:05:56.079 --> 00:05:58.920 in a car at a practice facility. Does it really matter? 100 00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.879 Let me, you're in a car. 101 00:06:02.560 --> 00:06:03.600 No, Yeah, it doesn't matter. 102 00:06:04.639 --> 00:06:09.519 Yeah, Cox and the Coxa. Uh. Probably the biggest news 103 00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:16.480 involving Atlanta United yesterday was, Yes, hydration is important. The 104 00:06:16.519 --> 00:06:21.959 release of Luisa Brohm, which gives at Landy United some 105 00:06:22.519 --> 00:06:25.480 cap mobility. When it comes to the remainder of this season, 106 00:06:26.040 --> 00:06:27.959 you have to keep an eye out on the better 107 00:06:28.000 --> 00:06:31.720 call transaction is that where this is is this one 108 00:06:31.759 --> 00:06:33.759 for one where it comes to the money and how 109 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:35.560 much is left over all the things. But yeah, the 110 00:06:35.560 --> 00:06:38.680 biggest news yesterday Luisa bram on his way out and 111 00:06:38.720 --> 00:06:40.040 being wived by Land United. 112 00:06:40.839 --> 00:06:41.560 Yeah, I mean. 113 00:06:41.720 --> 00:06:44.480 Chris Henderson has talked about it in the media avtibility 114 00:06:44.519 --> 00:06:47.480 to us last week and even you know on ninety 115 00:06:47.680 --> 00:06:49.920 nine with Mike and Jason. You know, they want to 116 00:06:49.959 --> 00:06:52.439 make moves in this sin this transfer window, they want 117 00:06:52.480 --> 00:06:54.759 to make some big moves and also not even this window, 118 00:06:54.759 --> 00:06:57.360 but also even looking ahead to the window at. 119 00:06:57.279 --> 00:06:58.360 The end of the season as well. 120 00:06:58.480 --> 00:07:00.839 You know, So this is probably one of those steps 121 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:02.360 to try to clear up some. 122 00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:04.199 Space to possibly bring in somebody. 123 00:07:05.279 --> 00:07:09.439 But it's just one of those things where it's the unfortunate. 124 00:07:08.800 --> 00:07:09.240 Part of this. 125 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:12.839 I wish louis a whole bunch of luck wherever he 126 00:07:12.879 --> 00:07:15.199 goes next to them. He's a very very talented center back. 127 00:07:16.000 --> 00:07:17.720 Any team would be lucky to have him, very calm, 128 00:07:17.839 --> 00:07:21.000 very composed. But it's a part of what Chris Henderson 129 00:07:21.040 --> 00:07:22.879 has talked about is that they want to clear up 130 00:07:22.920 --> 00:07:25.360 space to make room for some transfers and to make 131 00:07:25.399 --> 00:07:26.519 some moves here in this window. 132 00:07:28.040 --> 00:07:31.920 Now that you've had an extra day to ingest what 133 00:07:32.120 --> 00:07:35.160 happened with Atlanta and Seattle, what sticks out in your 134 00:07:35.160 --> 00:07:38.639 mind from this As Atlanta United gets a bit of 135 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:40.959 a break from MLS play, the three game homestand is 136 00:07:40.959 --> 00:07:42.920 over and you're getting ready for League's Cup, what still 137 00:07:42.959 --> 00:07:45.240 sticks in your brain from what we saw on the weekend. 138 00:07:45.680 --> 00:07:47.560 I think for me, it's just, you know, I think 139 00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:50.079 it's cleaning up just some small mistakes. It felt like 140 00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:52.560 a lot of the two goals that were conceded felt 141 00:07:52.600 --> 00:07:53.879 very avoidable. 142 00:07:54.839 --> 00:07:57.519 And it's just cleaning up those small things defensively. 143 00:07:58.000 --> 00:07:59.959 But I think you would have really saw it for 144 00:08:00.680 --> 00:08:02.480 I think you had a really good first staff, like 145 00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.480 we saw as well against Charlotte too. 146 00:08:05.519 --> 00:08:07.240 You had two really solid first staffs. 147 00:08:07.319 --> 00:08:10.360 It's just keeping that consistency all the way through the 148 00:08:10.399 --> 00:08:12.959 second half as well, and it's trying to find a 149 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:15.759 way to be switched on in that sense. I thought 150 00:08:15.800 --> 00:08:19.399 Alexi Madanchu had a phenomenal performance. I thought he played 151 00:08:19.720 --> 00:08:21.480 very very well, and I want to give him his 152 00:08:21.519 --> 00:08:24.240 flowers because he he did very very good. And I'm 153 00:08:24.240 --> 00:08:26.720 not just talking about the wonder goal that happened at 154 00:08:26.720 --> 00:08:29.920 the end. He played very very good against Seattle. He 155 00:08:29.959 --> 00:08:33.600 played very well against Charlotte too. Alexei Mananchuk played very 156 00:08:33.720 --> 00:08:35.639 very well. It was really cool to get to see 157 00:08:35.679 --> 00:08:37.720 him an am high as well check into the maps 158 00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.320 for a little bit as well. I really loved seeing 159 00:08:40.320 --> 00:08:43.039 the way that he came in immediately and was commanding 160 00:08:43.080 --> 00:08:46.080 and he was moving pieces around, getting things going. He 161 00:08:46.279 --> 00:08:48.919 was being a voice out there, and I think that's 162 00:08:49.000 --> 00:08:51.039 really important, and it's very cool to go ahead and 163 00:08:51.080 --> 00:08:53.200 see a new guy take that stamp and be like hey, 164 00:08:53.360 --> 00:08:54.720 because that's what Ronni Dallas said. 165 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:55.240 He's a leader. 166 00:08:55.279 --> 00:08:57.000 He's gonna be someone who's gonna come in and help 167 00:08:57.120 --> 00:08:59.759 be a voice in the back, to be another voice 168 00:08:59.759 --> 00:09:02.279 out there, and I think that's really important when you 169 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:06.080 have those players who can be those voices at all areas. 170 00:09:06.080 --> 00:09:06.559 On the field. 171 00:09:06.639 --> 00:09:08.679 You have Miguel wearing the arm band up talk, you 172 00:09:08.759 --> 00:09:11.799 have Sleish in the middle kind of directing some things around, 173 00:09:11.840 --> 00:09:12.799 being that voice there. 174 00:09:13.000 --> 00:09:14.120 If you get me high as well. 175 00:09:14.120 --> 00:09:15.840 I think Derek has also been a voice back there 176 00:09:15.879 --> 00:09:17.559 as well, but I think you get me high as 177 00:09:17.600 --> 00:09:20.240 well coming in and being another voice out there, then 178 00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:22.200 you get Brad in the back right there in between 179 00:09:22.200 --> 00:09:25.120 the posts directing things around as well. You're getting some 180 00:09:25.200 --> 00:09:28.320 really solid leadership voices in these moments, and I think 181 00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:31.679 that's important as well. But for me, it's just consistency 182 00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:34.399 and it's cleaning up those small mistakes as well. And 183 00:09:35.120 --> 00:09:36.960 before I get off my rant as well, I think 184 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:40.120 Ronald Hernandez has also been very very outstanding. I mean 185 00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:43.440 the past that led to the first goal for brilliant, 186 00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.519 absolutely brilliant. Yeah, but I'd give Ronald his flowers as well, 187 00:09:48.559 --> 00:09:50.639 because he has been very, very good in the last 188 00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:51.360 two games as well. 189 00:09:51.759 --> 00:09:54.600 Okay, so I'll go ahead and let's let's have some 190 00:09:54.679 --> 00:09:59.279 fun here on a Tuesday morning. Well, no, it's good fun. 191 00:09:59.320 --> 00:10:01.960 It's good fun. Uh. Let's see. Do you remember this 192 00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:05.240 sence It to the back post towards Amroon, headed away 193 00:10:05.320 --> 00:10:09.159 by Knew who bounce out for a throw. They will 194 00:10:09.200 --> 00:10:12.200 let Atlanta take it. It's thrown into Lennon and gives 195 00:10:12.200 --> 00:10:15.039 it back to amarn Me and Moran Chuk top of 196 00:10:15.080 --> 00:10:31.960 the eighteen shot. What's up from Russia With one, Atlanta, 197 00:10:32.080 --> 00:10:35.159 united for the third time in their last four matches, 198 00:10:35.679 --> 00:10:37.559 steals a point at the death. 199 00:10:39.039 --> 00:10:40.919 I did not know, Mike did. 200 00:10:40.960 --> 00:10:42.919 That's offer him. That's cool. 201 00:10:43.240 --> 00:10:44.200 Oh, let's go Mike. 202 00:10:44.639 --> 00:10:44.720 No. 203 00:10:44.879 --> 00:10:47.320 I also love Jason's little doubt. 204 00:10:47.440 --> 00:10:50.000 This is the thing that, uh, we've got to figure 205 00:10:50.000 --> 00:10:56.000 out either from from Jake or from Tom Sharrowsky or 206 00:10:56.080 --> 00:10:59.919 you know whoever's at the Imitation Palacial Studios at Colony 207 00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:03.240 Square or in the booth, We've got to figure out 208 00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:06.440 how to isolate that and have that as a drop. 209 00:11:07.240 --> 00:11:10.480 I'm sure we can. I'm sure there's a way to 210 00:11:10.480 --> 00:11:10.759 get that. 211 00:11:10.879 --> 00:11:11.759 Woo. Yeah. 212 00:11:11.879 --> 00:11:14.039 No, I'm sure there's a way. If not, then I'll 213 00:11:14.080 --> 00:11:15.559 just I'll take a voice. 214 00:11:15.279 --> 00:11:17.799 Recorder to like, I'll just like keep it in there 215 00:11:17.919 --> 00:11:19.799 and then we'll like it. We'll just have Jason when 216 00:11:19.840 --> 00:11:20.720 he says it, will have it. 217 00:11:21.200 --> 00:11:25.120 Yeah. So to your point, I wanted to go through 218 00:11:25.159 --> 00:11:27.679 a couple of the numbers. According to our friends at 219 00:11:27.679 --> 00:11:31.159 Sofa score uh, Ronald a part of the top end 220 00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.000 for Atlanta United seven point one on the day. Obviously 221 00:11:35.120 --> 00:11:37.000 me unchooke with the goal at a seven point four. 222 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.679 So your top starters Derek, Ronald and Niggi each with 223 00:11:41.799 --> 00:11:45.639 seven point ones. Ronald on the afternoon played almost the 224 00:11:45.679 --> 00:11:49.320 full ninety before Brooks came in late. It was three clearances, 225 00:11:49.399 --> 00:11:52.360 two picks, two total tackles, one dribble pass, four of 226 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.720 seven on his duel's sixty nine touches forty three of 227 00:11:55.799 --> 00:11:58.559 forty nine, passing at eighty eight percent, two key passes, 228 00:11:58.919 --> 00:12:02.440 including the one that led to the first goal, one 229 00:12:02.480 --> 00:12:04.759 accurate cross, two for six on long balls, had the 230 00:12:04.759 --> 00:12:08.120 one shot off target. So once again Ronald Hernandez clicking 231 00:12:08.120 --> 00:12:10.240 off a bunch of different boxes for at Landing Night. 232 00:12:10.919 --> 00:12:11.519 Yeah. 233 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:14.080 I think one thing that I always talked about, even 234 00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:17.360 in pregame too, with Ronald, Ronald brings you something in 235 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.879 the back that is very different than I think a 236 00:12:19.879 --> 00:12:22.240 lot of people don't really recognize and don't see it 237 00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:25.240 as a quality that's not important. Ronald brings the grit 238 00:12:25.320 --> 00:12:29.519 and the heart, and from talking to him so many times, 239 00:12:30.200 --> 00:12:32.600 he bleeds for this club. I've said it a lot 240 00:12:32.679 --> 00:12:35.080 of times, but I mean you can feel it, like 241 00:12:35.120 --> 00:12:38.639 when he talks about the club, it radiates like he 242 00:12:38.639 --> 00:12:43.519 he will put everything, blood, sweat and tears into helping 243 00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:45.639 this club succeed. And that's what he's done. He's stepped 244 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.159 up in those moments. He's been a right back. He's 245 00:12:48.159 --> 00:12:50.159 been a center back, He's been a left back. He 246 00:12:50.240 --> 00:12:52.279 will be wherever you need him to be and he 247 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:54.320 will help the team. And I think him in this 248 00:12:54.440 --> 00:12:57.480 right back role, comparing with Miggy as well, you have 249 00:12:57.559 --> 00:13:00.720 that relationship that blooms outside as well. That really does 250 00:13:00.840 --> 00:13:03.440 help when you are on the pitch. You know each 251 00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.919 other well, you know what makes each other tick. That 252 00:13:06.080 --> 00:13:09.000 helps a lot. But I think Ronald has brought something 253 00:13:09.000 --> 00:13:10.919 that I really love. Like I've always talked about him 254 00:13:10.919 --> 00:13:12.720 defensively and how really solid he is in that. 255 00:13:13.159 --> 00:13:15.120 I've loved seeing him offensively. 256 00:13:15.240 --> 00:13:17.000 He's had a lot of great moments in the last 257 00:13:17.039 --> 00:13:19.759 couple of games where I've been like, oh, Ronald, like 258 00:13:19.799 --> 00:13:22.200 he had oh there was like him combining with Miguel 259 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:26.919 and with Alexi too. That the duo there with Ronald 260 00:13:26.919 --> 00:13:29.720 and Alexi has been really fun to watch, Like it's 261 00:13:29.759 --> 00:13:32.639 like the combination with Luke and Moyemba, Like it's something 262 00:13:32.639 --> 00:13:35.600 different you wouldn't have expected to but that connection has 263 00:13:35.639 --> 00:13:38.320 been really cool to watch. And Ronald has had some 264 00:13:38.360 --> 00:13:40.960 really good moments and good passes. I'm thinking back to 265 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.559 that cutback to Alexi right at the top of the box, 266 00:13:43.559 --> 00:13:45.639 which I'm like, I didn't think. I sat up there 267 00:13:45.720 --> 00:13:47.799 and I turned to Caroline and I was like, I 268 00:13:47.840 --> 00:13:50.879 was like, oh, like I was really happy with it. No, 269 00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:53.240 But I think Ronald has been very good. I think 270 00:13:53.279 --> 00:13:57.360 Alexi has been very very good. I think Miguel has 271 00:13:57.480 --> 00:13:59.639 done a good job as well on that right side 272 00:13:59.759 --> 00:14:03.360 and that combination there, and I think you're seeing the 273 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:06.399 piece click here. I think it's about keeping consistency throughout 274 00:14:06.399 --> 00:14:08.879 the second half and cleaning up those mistakes and being 275 00:14:08.879 --> 00:14:11.399 switched on at all times because you're going up against 276 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.759 ACASA and I haven't done a whole bunch of research 277 00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:15.559 on them yet. That's my that's my mission for today 278 00:14:15.679 --> 00:14:17.480 is doing a lot of research on them today as well. 279 00:14:17.519 --> 00:14:19.919 But it's a new opponent. It's an opponent you've never 280 00:14:19.919 --> 00:14:23.080 really seen before. And Lega A Mechi's we all know. 281 00:14:23.039 --> 00:14:25.279 How good those sides are as well, So it's a 282 00:14:25.279 --> 00:14:26.360 new opponent. 283 00:14:25.960 --> 00:14:28.879 And it's really gonna be interesting to see how United 284 00:14:29.120 --> 00:14:31.679 navigates this new challenge heading in the League's Cup, because 285 00:14:31.799 --> 00:14:33.399 it's not like it was last year, where you have 286 00:14:33.480 --> 00:14:35.480 maybe an MLS club that you know a little bit. 287 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:38.000 It is all Lega a Mechis, it's all lega a mechi. 288 00:14:38.159 --> 00:14:41.720 So it's really studying getting that down. And you know, 289 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:44.519 if you enough the energy of what's gonna happen tomorrow, 290 00:14:44.600 --> 00:14:46.320 you know it first game of League's Cup. 291 00:14:46.320 --> 00:14:49.159 It's gonna be fun. I'm excited for it. I'm really excited. 292 00:14:49.559 --> 00:14:51.360 All right. So let me skip forward since I know 293 00:14:51.360 --> 00:14:53.200 I've only got you for another couple of minutes before 294 00:14:53.240 --> 00:14:56.720 you duck out into the heat and stay properly hydrated. 295 00:14:57.360 --> 00:14:59.159 You got you, so, you got your sunglasses, Your ready 296 00:14:59.159 --> 00:15:02.600 to go, You got your hydration, You're ready to go.

And you get 347 00:17:13.359 --> 00:17:15.000 to ask you get to ask one of the fans 348 00:17:15.000 --> 00:17:15.720 about Borne withouth. 349 00:17:16.279 --> 00:17:16.480 I do. 350 00:17:17.279 --> 00:17:19.759 I get to ask west Ham fans. 351 00:17:19.799 --> 00:17:23.119 But west Ham, that is true, and Everton and mess 352 00:17:23.359 --> 00:17:25.519 and Everton and Manchester United. Uh do you need? Do 353 00:17:25.559 --> 00:17:27.480 you need to exit your automobile? I do. 354 00:17:27.559 --> 00:17:29.319 I gotta go to train and I gotta I gotta 355 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:30.960 go film some cool content. 356 00:17:31.279 --> 00:17:33.200 All right, So go film some cool content. We'll catch 357 00:17:33.279 --> 00:17:35.319 up with you later, all right, guys, We'll see you later. 358 00:17:35.640 --> 00:17:38.640 It goes Maddie. Uh, Maddie's a practice because Maddie's got 359 00:17:38.640 --> 00:17:42.279 to get ready for Landy United and the Coxhi. I 360 00:17:42.279 --> 00:17:44.119 feel like we have to say it that way, a Coxhi. 361 00:17:44.640 --> 00:17:46.759 So Landy United and the cox and the Coxa right 362 00:17:46.759 --> 00:17:50.920 now is seventh in lega Amakis. They have just started 363 00:17:51.599 --> 00:17:57.799 the uh where are we? Is this? This is a forture? 364 00:17:57.880 --> 00:18:00.599 I think, yeah, this is aperture because Klaus Suraga at 365 00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.240 the other end of the year. So they are right 366 00:18:04.279 --> 00:18:06.319 now one one in one. They've hit every box in 367 00:18:06.359 --> 00:18:11.240 the first three matches and they are seventh and tied 368 00:18:11.279 --> 00:18:16.279 with Mazatlan with record and goal difference. I'm guessing that 369 00:18:16.359 --> 00:18:18.880 Coxa has scored more goals because the current standings that 370 00:18:18.920 --> 00:18:21.359 I have do not carry all the way through.

Morning Dell, 402 00:19:54.440 --> 00:19:58.480 Morning Ricky. I don't know, Ricky has probably one of 403 00:19:58.480 --> 00:20:01.839 the more insight whole question so far. Early in the morning. 404 00:20:01.839 --> 00:20:03.720 Are we going to show up on an episode of FX? 405 00:20:05.160 --> 00:20:08.880 I don't know if MS Boston is going to be 406 00:20:08.960 --> 00:20:13.920 in the building, but I would imagine that there is 407 00:20:14.039 --> 00:20:17.240 going to be at least one camera shooting b roll 408 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:19.519 and they're probably going to pay rights fees if they 409 00:20:19.519 --> 00:20:22.359 don't if they didn't have anybody in the building, uh 410 00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:24.839 for the matchup in Leagues Cup and all that kind 411 00:20:24.839 --> 00:20:28.240 of stuff. So the series, I believe, if I, if 412 00:20:28.240 --> 00:20:31.519 I am not mistaken, the series that is actually off 413 00:20:31.559 --> 00:20:38.480 and running and so you can go and uh follow 414 00:20:38.559 --> 00:20:41.920 up on it. And there there there is the way 415 00:20:42.039 --> 00:20:45.880 that like it's uh n Cooxa America. Hang on, let 416 00:20:45.920 --> 00:20:47.640 me let me get the let me get the actual 417 00:20:47.880 --> 00:20:53.400 name of the the group that that owns uh, let's 418 00:20:53.400 --> 00:20:57.359 see Nacoxa ownership because it's like it's like Nacoxa America 419 00:20:58.319 --> 00:21:02.440 LLC or something like that. Because it's a fifty percent. 420 00:21:02.880 --> 00:21:08.279 It's almost fifty percent and almost not so. It it's 421 00:21:08.559 --> 00:21:13.480 owned by Ernest Dootina, Hedro Flores and n ex Football 422 00:21:13.720 --> 00:21:18.720 usallc Literally, it's like almost fifty percent to NX Football 423 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:21.759 and that's the group that has all the celebrities in it. 424 00:21:22.079 --> 00:21:26.039 And Ernest Dotina hero Flores is the chairman and the owner, 425 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:28.279 and I think that's why he's got slightly more than 426 00:21:28.319 --> 00:21:33.519 fifty percent. It's not quite fifty percent for NX Football, 427 00:21:34.400 --> 00:21:38.880 but that is where that's where they are. So the 428 00:21:39.440 --> 00:21:44.519 group that picked up the almost fifty percent ownership, from 429 00:21:44.599 --> 00:21:50.839 what I understand, includes former owners from DC United, former 430 00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:57.039 managers from Swansea City and celebrities Eva longoriam as an Uzil, 431 00:21:57.160 --> 00:22:01.480 Sean Mary and Justin Verlander, Kate Upton and then as 432 00:22:01.599 --> 00:22:06.799 kind of a flip, the coxa's backers purchased five percent 433 00:22:06.880 --> 00:22:10.359 of Wrexham back in April of last year, and Rob 434 00:22:10.440 --> 00:22:14.200 Mack and Ryan Reynolds purchased the same in the COXA. 435 00:22:15.599 --> 00:22:18.799 So Rob MC and Ryan Reynolds, Rob Mack, I'm kind 436 00:22:18.799 --> 00:22:21.480 of with Caitlin Olson in this one. Rob MC and 437 00:22:21.519 --> 00:22:26.359 Ryan Reynolds purchased five percent on the COXA as the 438 00:22:26.400 --> 00:22:32.559 Inex Football folks purchased five percent of Rexham, so that's 439 00:22:32.559 --> 00:22:36.559 that's where the layout is. So Senor Flores has I 440 00:22:36.559 --> 00:22:40.039 think just over fifty percent. Inex Football USA has just 441 00:22:40.480 --> 00:22:43.240 under fifty percent, and that's where I don't know what 442 00:22:43.279 --> 00:22:49.039 the actual percentage percentage breakdown is. But but I say 443 00:22:49.079 --> 00:22:51.359 butt butt butt butt butt, but I don't know what 444 00:22:51.400 --> 00:22:54.200 the layout is. So Ricky says one in episodes one 445 00:22:54.200 --> 00:22:58.160 and two premiere August seven, and episodes episode two showed 446 00:22:58.200 --> 00:23:03.240 description specifically mentioned League's Cup. Okay, so let's see. So 447 00:23:03.480 --> 00:23:06.359 if I wonder what their turnaround time is when it 448 00:23:06.400 --> 00:23:09.119 comes to their editing and such, that that to me 449 00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:11.160 is going to be one of the larger questions here. 450 00:23:11.440 --> 00:23:14.200 How how close to events are they going to be 451 00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:18.440 where Wrexham spends the entire season And then you start 452 00:23:18.480 --> 00:23:21.000 to get the episodes coming out. Is the COXA more 453 00:23:21.039 --> 00:23:24.640 of the quick turn or is it? Or what's going on? 454 00:23:24.680 --> 00:23:27.559 But I do not know if miss Baston is going 455 00:23:27.559 --> 00:23:30.279 to be in the building on Wednesday or if she's 456 00:23:30.319 --> 00:23:32.759 going to be following the club along as they go 457 00:23:32.839 --> 00:23:36.200 in League's Cup. So we'll see. And obviously on Thursday, 458 00:23:36.240 --> 00:23:40.000 we will report back and let you know what it 459 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:43.160 looks like and did we see cameras you know, and 460 00:23:43.279 --> 00:23:45.279 we'll all be were in our SDH gear. So maybe hey, 461 00:23:45.480 --> 00:23:48.240 here's here's a roundabout way for SDH to make it 462 00:23:48.279 --> 00:23:52.680 onto international programming where SDH gear as Nikoxa is playing 463 00:23:52.680 --> 00:23:58.000 at Lanty Knight. Yeah, and Riocky, I think you're right on. 464 00:23:58.119 --> 00:24:00.599 He says, it sounds kind of hard knoxish if it's 465 00:24:00.599 --> 00:24:05.160 that quick, and that's that's the key. If if Nakasa 466 00:24:05.359 --> 00:24:08.720 is done more in real time. I think to your point, Ricky, 467 00:24:08.759 --> 00:24:13.200 I think it might be more hard Nooxie than Welcome 468 00:24:13.240 --> 00:24:16.519 to Wrexham, which is more recapish, if that makes any sense. 469 00:24:16.559 --> 00:24:18.880 So I think that does. That's what we're staring at 470 00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:23.599 when it comes to those particular different differences when it 471 00:24:23.640 --> 00:24:27.079 comes to TV production in those particular elements. All right, 472 00:24:27.160 --> 00:24:31.799 So since we're here, let me go and look at 473 00:24:32.359 --> 00:24:34.559 juice boxes for leagues cup. First off, let me see 474 00:24:34.559 --> 00:24:37.000 if juice boxes exist. I would imagine that they do. 475 00:24:39.960 --> 00:24:45.160 So we do world club friendly Summer Series, Club friendly 476 00:24:45.200 --> 00:24:50.720 World Championships, So North and Central America, how about that 477 00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:54.200 League's Cup. There we go Okay, so we do have 478 00:24:54.480 --> 00:24:57.039 for today since we're kind of already in the League's 479 00:24:57.079 --> 00:25:00.440 Cup portion, we've kind of steered into this to today. 480 00:25:01.319 --> 00:25:03.519 It is, oh, and do we have the do we 481 00:25:03.559 --> 00:25:06.920 have the announcers and or the officials? So if we 482 00:25:07.000 --> 00:25:09.839 have announcers and or officials, obviously we'll keep an eye 483 00:25:09.880 --> 00:25:17.160 on that too, all right. So MLS Communications is traditionally 484 00:25:17.160 --> 00:25:21.039 where we go to find out do we have announced cruise, 485 00:25:21.559 --> 00:25:26.279 And obviously as things go, we will make sure that 486 00:25:26.319 --> 00:25:30.319 we are not We're not drifting away or anything like 487 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:34.039 that to all of these Oh and you know your mission, folks, 488 00:25:34.079 --> 00:25:36.119 the reason that we played them an onto goal Goal 489 00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:37.920 of the Week honors. You know what you have to do. 490 00:25:38.400 --> 00:25:40.920 So all right, So we do not in MLS Communication 491 00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:43.680 have the broadcast cruise yet. Let's see if MLS on 492 00:25:43.720 --> 00:25:50.960 air has anything, and they have the promos and that's it. 493 00:25:51.000 --> 00:25:55.839 They don't have any up to date. They don't have 494 00:25:55.880 --> 00:25:59.680 any up to date announce cruise or anything like that. Okay, 495 00:25:59.680 --> 00:26:03.039 so I don't know our announced cruise yet. And hopefully 496 00:26:03.079 --> 00:26:05.359 on Friday we can be caught up with our friends 497 00:26:05.400 --> 00:26:07.359 at Major League Soccer and we can catch up with 498 00:26:07.440 --> 00:26:12.079 Leagu's Cup Okay Juice Boxes for tonight, and these are 499 00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:17.720 all matches that are going to be obviously on Apple 500 00:26:17.759 --> 00:26:23.079 TV Plus and MLS Season Pass. So Teluca and Columbus. 501 00:26:23.720 --> 00:26:27.160 Teluca is ranked number three, Columbus is ranked number four, 502 00:26:27.240 --> 00:26:30.799 seeded number three and number four. Teluca right now is 503 00:26:30.799 --> 00:26:33.359 a plus one fifty two. Your draws a plus two 504 00:26:33.440 --> 00:26:37.359 seventy five. Crew are a plus one forty one. The 505 00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:43.720 other seven o'clocker is CF Montreal favored at home at 506 00:26:43.759 --> 00:26:47.000 Dodd Suputo in Phase one against a twenty five seed 507 00:26:47.119 --> 00:26:52.839 CF Montreal against twenty seven seed Club Leone. And that's 508 00:26:52.839 --> 00:26:55.680 it's Dodd Suputo a little after seven o'clock, so we'll 509 00:26:55.680 --> 00:26:59.519 say seven to ten. Montreal is favored at a plus 510 00:26:59.519 --> 00:27:02.599 one four. Laone is a plus one seventy three and 511 00:27:02.640 --> 00:27:05.599 your draw is a plus two thirty six. Eight o'clock. 512 00:27:06.559 --> 00:27:11.920 It is nineteenth seed NYCFC. I feel like I'm having 513 00:27:11.920 --> 00:27:14.519 to read this like the tournaments that we have in 514 00:27:14.599 --> 00:27:19.839 March and April, nineteenth seed NYC taking on thirty fifth 515 00:27:19.880 --> 00:27:25.319 seed Puebla. And this one is not in the Bronx, 516 00:27:26.519 --> 00:27:30.920 It is not at Dylan Butler estates, it is in Harrison, 517 00:27:30.960 --> 00:27:38.200 New Jersey. So NYC ranked nineteen is taking on Puebla 518 00:27:38.720 --> 00:27:43.440 ranked thirty five eight ten kick in New Jersey, no 519 00:27:43.519 --> 00:27:46.839 real surprise. NYC's favorite at minus one seventy nine. Peebl's 520 00:27:46.839 --> 00:27:48.960 a plus four and a quarter in the composite courtesy 521 00:27:48.960 --> 00:27:51.559 of our friends at Odds Portal and your draws a 522 00:27:51.599 --> 00:27:55.599 plus three zho nine nine ten start at Helena Shell 523 00:27:56.759 --> 00:28:00.000 It is at t Grace ranked number five, taking all 524 00:28:00.079 --> 00:28:03.200 on Houston Dynamo, who are ranked number fifteen. Tigris is 525 00:28:03.240 --> 00:28:05.759 favored at a minus one oh nine. Keep an eye 526 00:28:05.799 --> 00:28:08.960 on who travels and who doesn't. Then you have the 527 00:28:09.039 --> 00:28:11.920 draw to plus two five four Dynamo at a plus 528 00:28:11.960 --> 00:28:16.240 two sixty six. Then you have a ten thirty ten 529 00:28:16.359 --> 00:28:19.720 forty A ten forty start at BEMO in Phase one, 530 00:28:20.519 --> 00:28:26.720 six seated LAFC taking on thirty three seeded Mazatlan. LAFC 531 00:28:26.839 --> 00:28:29.200 at a minus one seventy five draws a plus two 532 00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:32.079 ninety six and Mazatlan is a plus four twenty six. 533 00:28:32.559 --> 00:28:38.000 And then at the UH and UH we give. That 534 00:28:38.359 --> 00:28:42.160 is going to be fun tracking down Adrian Gocia Marcus. 535 00:28:42.640 --> 00:28:48.119 If you have the opportunity and this is literally, if 536 00:28:48.559 --> 00:28:50.279 this is it. You know, if you're at home and 537 00:28:50.279 --> 00:28:52.799 you've got Apple TV Plus, or even if you don't 538 00:28:52.839 --> 00:28:58.519 have Apple TV Plus and you have access to San 539 00:28:58.559 --> 00:29:03.519 Diego Sportstock Radio specifically AM seven sixty, go and listen 540 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:08.559 to Adrian Garcia Marcus. He is required listening in Major 541 00:29:08.640 --> 00:29:14.279 League Soccer. So if you have the opportunity to like it, literally, 542 00:29:14.319 --> 00:29:16.559 if you're just if you're if you're at home and 543 00:29:16.640 --> 00:29:19.720 you want to listen to local radio option, which I imagine 544 00:29:19.720 --> 00:29:21.880 is still available on Apple TV Plus. If it's not, 545 00:29:21.880 --> 00:29:23.640 then then it needs to be fixed. But I don't know, 546 00:29:23.720 --> 00:29:26.880 but I would imagine. So if you're up late tonight, 547 00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:31.200 here's your public service announcement. Listen to Pachuca and San 548 00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:36.440 Diego FC. Go to the local radio option. No offense 549 00:29:36.480 --> 00:29:38.400 to who might be calling the match for Apple TV 550 00:29:38.480 --> 00:29:42.519 Plus an MLS season pass, but go listen to Adrian Garciamarcus. 551 00:29:43.880 --> 00:29:49.480 Because of how he he is, he's he was one 552 00:29:49.519 --> 00:29:53.279 of my favorites, full disclosure. He was one of my 553 00:29:53.440 --> 00:29:57.920 favorites when he was doing Lega a Mechis on Fox 554 00:29:57.960 --> 00:30:01.920 Sports and and you would have the late night Lega 555 00:30:01.960 --> 00:30:04.920 Emickys games on Fox Sports on FS one, and it 556 00:30:04.960 --> 00:30:08.519 would be him and American legend Kobe Jones, or it 557 00:30:08.559 --> 00:30:11.359 would be any of the other analysts that are there 558 00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:15.759 with him. But his descriptions truly do paint a picture. 559 00:30:16.119 --> 00:30:17.640 And he also is played by play for the San 560 00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:21.519 Diego Chargers, so you have that going into the season 561 00:30:21.559 --> 00:30:27.200 as well. But Adrian Garcia Marquis refers to the stadium 562 00:30:27.599 --> 00:30:31.279 inasmuch as Snapdragon is the joint that paid the fee 563 00:30:31.319 --> 00:30:34.440 that has the name on the marquee, he refers to 564 00:30:34.480 --> 00:30:36.920 it as the Murf Dragon, considering it was on those 565 00:30:37.000 --> 00:30:41.519 premises where Jack Murphy Stadium was, and he refers to 566 00:30:41.559 --> 00:30:45.279 the stadium as the Murf Dragon. And since they are 567 00:30:45.319 --> 00:30:50.720 in San Diego, the touch lines are not touch lines, 568 00:30:50.720 --> 00:30:55.400 they're coastlines. So it's on the east coast line of 569 00:30:55.480 --> 00:30:58.680 the far far coast line and near coast line. And 570 00:30:58.720 --> 00:31:00.920 that's out. That's literally just a piece of it. I 571 00:31:00.960 --> 00:31:05.240 can't do it justice where he comes up with the 572 00:31:05.240 --> 00:31:08.880 things that he does, but he has a great affinity 573 00:31:08.880 --> 00:31:13.039 for music. We have traded our appreciation for drummers for 574 00:31:13.200 --> 00:31:17.519 Rush on the social media's but yes, if you had 575 00:31:17.599 --> 00:31:20.319 this is your public service announcement, go Listen to a 576 00:31:20.400 --> 00:31:23.839 San Diego FC broadcast, listen to the local radio option. 577 00:31:23.920 --> 00:31:27.039 Listen to Adrian Garcia marquis, you will not regret it. 578 00:31:27.640 --> 00:31:32.119 And when we have opposition research for the Atlanta United 579 00:31:32.279 --> 00:31:35.160 and San Diego FC, when San Diego comes to town, 580 00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:38.240 you bet you're you know what we are chasing after 581 00:31:38.279 --> 00:31:39.960 AGM to make sure that he can be on the 582 00:31:40.000 --> 00:31:42.480 show to break everything down. And I have the impression 583 00:31:43.759 --> 00:31:50.079 that you have. Uh, it's it's gonna be It's gonna 584 00:31:50.119 --> 00:31:53.160 be fun. It's gonna be a fun one, all right. Uh, 585 00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:56.799 Ricky being the intrepid producer, a part of the intrepid 586 00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:01.119 producer brigade that we have, Ricky, he has on the 587 00:32:01.160 --> 00:32:06.279 list this morning.

Al Zat set 604 00:33:16.799 --> 00:33:19.880 to fly to the US tomorrow for his medical conversion 605 00:33:20.680 --> 00:33:25.839 right this very second, about two and a half million bucks. 606 00:33:26.519 --> 00:33:32.200 So one point eight seven zero one million, eight hundred 607 00:33:32.240 --> 00:33:35.119 and seventy thousand, one million, five for the fee three 608 00:33:35.160 --> 00:33:38.200 hundred and seventy thousand add ons right now, literally it 609 00:33:38.279 --> 00:33:42.319 is almost two point four nine million dollars two point 610 00:33:42.359 --> 00:33:44.759 four eight nine two million, four hundred eighty nine thousand, 611 00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:48.680 one hundred and sixty eight dollars and fifty nine cents. 612 00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:52.480 I probably could cover the fifty nine cents on that transaction, 613 00:33:53.680 --> 00:33:58.519 So thank you, Ricky. So Alzat appears to be in 614 00:33:58.640 --> 00:34:01.759 the barn set to fly to the US tomorrow for 615 00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:08.440 his medical So that adds another Wasserman client in the 616 00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:13.599 conversations with Atlanta United, and so that gives you another 617 00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:19.079 midfielder to add to the stacks. Me high end about 618 00:34:19.119 --> 00:34:21.639 a call in probably a couple weeks away from playing 619 00:34:21.679 --> 00:34:25.639 because of paperwork, and Steven Alzate in the midfield to 620 00:34:25.719 --> 00:34:30.920 help out Bartos Sleish and Christian William ba at cetaa 621 00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:34.159 et seta et setada. So all right, so let's go 622 00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:38.760 to our friends at transfer Marked and get the breakdown 623 00:34:38.800 --> 00:34:44.000 of Steven Alzate twenty six years old, born in London, 624 00:34:44.239 --> 00:34:49.519 Colombian citizenship, a central midfielder, plays the majority of his 625 00:34:49.679 --> 00:34:52.480 space in the central midfield, has played both the mid 626 00:34:52.519 --> 00:35:00.000 and attacking mid and contract at Hull expires in a year, 627 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:03.760 so this was Hul getting something for an asset in 628 00:35:03.840 --> 00:35:05.880 the final year of its deal. There was a club 629 00:35:05.920 --> 00:35:10.599 option to go with. So as we now follow Steven 630 00:35:10.760 --> 00:35:14.519 underscore alzat nine to eight on the ig, the Insta 631 00:35:15.320 --> 00:35:18.880 or the the Graham as the kids call it, I 632 00:35:18.880 --> 00:35:21.559 guess we'll follow Wasserman football while we're thinking about it, 633 00:35:21.599 --> 00:35:24.760 So we'll go ahead and follow Washerman football. Steven underscore 634 00:35:24.840 --> 00:35:31.880 Alzat nine to eight. Jordan is already following Steven Alzat. 635 00:35:32.519 --> 00:35:36.960 Nothing updated as of yet with Alzat on his Instagram. 636 00:35:37.000 --> 00:35:39.760 Nothing about flying into a you know, leaving Heathrow or 637 00:35:39.760 --> 00:35:46.159 something like that. Nothing there so far on Alzat, but 638 00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:50.320 once again mainly a central midfielder, stay at home. Twenty 639 00:35:50.360 --> 00:35:52.920 eight matches in the Championship last year, did have the 640 00:35:52.960 --> 00:35:56.239 one assist, two yellow cards in just under two thousand minutes. 641 00:35:56.280 --> 00:35:59.159 Played a match in the FA Cup as well. Before 642 00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:05.920 that twenty three to twenty four he spent time at 643 00:36:06.039 --> 00:36:12.239 Standard Liege twenty four matches twenty five in all comps 644 00:36:12.679 --> 00:36:16.679 including the Krokey Cup. Two goals, four assists at Standard 645 00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:21.480 Lieges in twenty three twenty four. It was twenty nine 646 00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:27.800 thirty thirty one comps combined to Brighton and Standard Liege 647 00:36:27.840 --> 00:36:31.119 in twenty two to twenty three, four goals, five assists 648 00:36:31.119 --> 00:36:34.880 in just under two thousand minutes. Premier League FA Cup, 649 00:36:35.639 --> 00:36:39.800 Gummy Bear Cup Brighton twelve matches in twenty one twenty two. 650 00:36:40.000 --> 00:36:44.400 Same for Brighton Premier League PL two FA Cup in 651 00:36:44.440 --> 00:36:48.599 twenty twenty one eighteen matches, two goals, one assist. Most 652 00:36:48.639 --> 00:36:53.480 of his time once again, and he has played three 653 00:36:53.679 --> 00:36:58.320 five eight different positions when he has been a professional footballer, 654 00:36:58.679 --> 00:37:00.519 but the majority of his time has been as a 655 00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:05.840 central midfielder Stay at Home Charlie five goals, nine assists, 656 00:37:05.880 --> 00:37:10.159 sixty seven matches. He's played d mid thirty five matches, 657 00:37:10.199 --> 00:37:14.480 attacking midfielder thirty two. So basically, if you combine his 658 00:37:14.559 --> 00:37:17.239 time as a defensive midfielder and an attacking midfielder, say 659 00:37:17.320 --> 00:37:22.280 number of games as a CMD. So central midfielder also 660 00:37:22.320 --> 00:37:25.119 has played left mid, center forward, right mid, right back 661 00:37:25.119 --> 00:37:27.559 in one match at a second striker fifty four matches 662 00:37:27.559 --> 00:37:31.880 at Standard Liege five and nine, Brighton fifty one matches 663 00:37:31.880 --> 00:37:34.960 three and two whole City no goals scored, twenty nine 664 00:37:35.039 --> 00:37:38.159 matches played, one assist time with Brighton U twenty one, 665 00:37:38.239 --> 00:37:41.679 Swindon Town and Layton Orient as well. So that is 666 00:37:42.559 --> 00:37:49.079 the Stephen Alzat stats breakdown. So let's go to Let's 667 00:37:49.079 --> 00:37:52.360 go to Wasserman. Let me just see what Let's see 668 00:37:52.400 --> 00:37:54.719 what Wasserman has to say, because this is where we 669 00:37:54.760 --> 00:37:57.719 go into transfer marked and we try and figure out. Okay, 670 00:37:58.119 --> 00:38:01.559 let's look at his profile and it'll say Wasserman and 671 00:38:01.599 --> 00:38:06.639 you click on Wasserman and you roll and find out, okay, 672 00:38:06.800 --> 00:38:09.719 where it's like, where's my Wasserman? Okay, so once again 673 00:38:09.840 --> 00:38:13.599 interested club at Lanty United. All right, so three hours 674 00:38:13.599 --> 00:38:15.480 ago now that we have turned into the third hour, 675 00:38:15.559 --> 00:38:19.719 six forty one this morning, Sky Sports News reporting, Mark McCadam, 676 00:38:19.800 --> 00:38:22.639 Chris Sidle at Lanty Nighted agreed to Hull for Steven 677 00:38:22.719 --> 00:38:30.079 Alzate one point eight seven zero million pounds, and we 678 00:38:30.119 --> 00:38:34.440 will we will take care of Life Underscore Size Encore 679 00:38:35.000 --> 00:38:39.079 HW garbage. So we're gonna bot you. It's been a 680 00:38:39.079 --> 00:38:40.840 while since we've had a bot. I almost got out 681 00:38:40.880 --> 00:38:47.639 of practice. So we will block and or report Life 682 00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:58.199 Size Core HW garbage and so report bot. Nothing like 683 00:38:58.199 --> 00:39:00.639 a bot on a Tuesday morning? Do you have to 684 00:39:00.639 --> 00:39:10.719 take care of all? Right? Uh, viewer solicitation bot? That 685 00:39:10.840 --> 00:39:13.599 I spelled solicitation wrong, I did, I didn't add the middle. 686 00:39:13.639 --> 00:39:15.719 I all right, So there we go, twenty three characters 687 00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:20.480 bot submitted and there we go, and Dell doing a 688 00:39:20.639 --> 00:39:24.360 producer work as well. Exactly, Dell, what's all that a bot? 689 00:39:24.639 --> 00:39:27.079 I know? I did? I did that? Was I covered 690 00:39:27.599 --> 00:39:33.960 a couple of gray cups and literally would be like, well, 691 00:39:34.000 --> 00:39:36.000 no one says, a boot up here with my with 692 00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:37.599 my buddy, who is my shooter? He goes, No, one 693 00:39:37.639 --> 00:39:39.440 says a boot up here in Canada. Sure enough, the 694 00:39:39.440 --> 00:39:41.280 first person we interviewed dropped in a boot and you 695 00:39:41.280 --> 00:39:44.119 see the camera kind of going like this. But did 696 00:39:44.599 --> 00:39:51.280 Dell with the producer work linked the highlights for Steven Alzate? So, uh, 697 00:39:51.679 --> 00:39:54.719 all right, So let's let's see if we can come 698 00:39:54.800 --> 00:39:58.880 up with a secondary source. Although I'm not, I am not, 699 00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:04.599 I am not, I'm not doubting Mark McAdam and Chris Siddle, 700 00:40:05.880 --> 00:40:09.760 I'm not. I'm not doing that. Well, you get Tommy scoops. So, 701 00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:17.039 uh all right, So someone I've never heard of, uh, 702 00:40:17.320 --> 00:40:25.159 permanent transfer in some in some former fashion. Uh let's see. 703 00:40:25.199 --> 00:40:31.639 So okay, so Pepe Sierra, who is kickstreaming sin Boletta, 704 00:40:33.199 --> 00:40:38.400 was with WIN Sports and W Radio in Colombia. He 705 00:40:40.239 --> 00:40:44.440 Colombian International has already accepted the terms to join traveling tomorrow, 706 00:40:44.519 --> 00:40:47.239 he see, And so Ppe Sierra is he seeing Tom 707 00:40:47.280 --> 00:40:54.159 Bogert Bogert two and a half personal terms, agreed seven 708 00:40:54.239 --> 00:41:01.480 caps for Colombia. Ben Jacobs also secondarily reporting it. So 709 00:41:01.559 --> 00:41:11.039 it looks like it is Jacobs and Bogert from Gimme Sport. 710 00:41:11.199 --> 00:41:16.239 They are all looping through on each other, and you 711 00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:20.840 had a couple of folks reference other places. So okay, 712 00:41:20.880 --> 00:41:24.719 So Bogert is seeing Pepe Sierra, a Pepe Sierra, so 713 00:41:24.800 --> 00:41:30.599 Pepe Sierra and Bogert along with Alex Crook and Ben 714 00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:38.280 Jacobs and then Mark McAdam and Chris Sidle. So it 715 00:41:38.360 --> 00:41:41.639 looks like you have about six different folks from three 716 00:41:41.719 --> 00:41:48.519 separate places that are locking Steven Alzate in and the 717 00:41:48.679 --> 00:41:54.320 over and so that's what you're staring at. So six 718 00:41:54.360 --> 00:41:57.559 different folks look like they have locked it down in 719 00:41:57.559 --> 00:42:01.559 one place or another. So h McAdam sit all from 720 00:42:01.559 --> 00:42:07.920 sky Ppe Sierra from a Colombian media, both Wind Sports 721 00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:15.280 and Wradio, and Alex Crook and Tom Bogert and Ben Jacobs. 722 00:42:15.800 --> 00:42:18.079 So I'm thinking that since all of these folks are 723 00:42:18.079 --> 00:42:19.800 on the same page, I think it's safe to sit 724 00:42:19.880 --> 00:42:25.400 there and go And that Steven Alzate is on his 725 00:42:25.639 --> 00:42:31.519 way medical or man's flying over medical should be happening 726 00:42:31.519 --> 00:42:36.559 sometime soon. So alzat central midfielder working his way over 727 00:42:37.239 --> 00:42:43.320 and he should be the next edition for Atlanta United 728 00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:46.199 in the midfield. Here as we are in the window. 729 00:42:46.320 --> 00:42:51.840 So once again a brom yesterday waved Alzat apparently coming 730 00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:55.719 in with all the information that we have this morning. 731 00:42:56.159 --> 00:42:58.960 Thank you Ricky, and thank you Dell for lifting doing 732 00:42:58.960 --> 00:43:03.639 a lot of the heavier lift. So uh yeah, Bogert 733 00:43:03.679 --> 00:43:06.320 six minutes ago according to Ricky. So that's where we are. 734 00:43:06.400 --> 00:43:08.960 So I guess next we will be waiting for the 735 00:43:09.559 --> 00:43:13.079 uh five stripes don't stop from the social media and 736 00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:16.280 you know it could be you know, I want you 737 00:43:16.280 --> 00:43:18.159 to see. Now this is where we're trying to figure 738 00:43:18.159 --> 00:43:19.880 out how they would announce it. Is it something of 739 00:43:19.920 --> 00:43:23.760 a tiger, is it something of a hull? Is it 740 00:43:24.159 --> 00:43:28.320 something Colombia that that's the this is this is the 741 00:43:28.360 --> 00:43:30.840 guessing game that we have with the social team, but 742 00:43:30.920 --> 00:43:32.519 trying to figure out how they they're going to be 743 00:43:32.599 --> 00:43:37.639 doing the five stripes don't stop. So to recap so far, 744 00:43:38.639 --> 00:43:46.039 it is Morales cob out a brom waved me high 745 00:43:46.119 --> 00:43:53.199 in better call coming in and uh Leo Alfonso in 746 00:43:54.519 --> 00:43:58.360 and Steven Alzate on his way, So that that's where 747 00:43:58.360 --> 00:44:01.239 we are. We figured that there would be a lot 748 00:44:01.280 --> 00:44:05.119 of noise by Atlanta United in this window and we 749 00:44:05.320 --> 00:44:09.960 have uh, we have not been uh we have not 750 00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:16.280 been second guest with those timelines. Four card uh uh, 751 00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:18.440 So I'll go with the first one. Four card medicals 752 00:44:18.480 --> 00:44:21.199 tomorrow and announcement probably Thursday or Friday. So if medicals 753 00:44:21.239 --> 00:44:26.199 are so, if today is Tuesday flies Wednesday, my guess 754 00:44:26.360 --> 00:44:28.840 is is that it's probably on Friday to get you 755 00:44:28.880 --> 00:44:31.119 into the weekend, to get you ready for match number two. 756 00:44:32.559 --> 00:44:35.800 That's my thought. So that's that's what I'm That's that's 757 00:44:35.800 --> 00:44:39.599 what I'm thinking when it comes to all these things. 758 00:44:41.000 --> 00:44:44.679 So that that's my guess. I would probably say Friday morning, 759 00:44:46.000 --> 00:44:50.119 if everything goes as well as anticipated, you would have 760 00:44:51.800 --> 00:44:56.519 uh huh did you say better call? Uh let's see, 761 00:44:57.119 --> 00:45:01.679 uh bet it's all also, uh, we'll have to see 762 00:45:01.719 --> 00:45:05.039 how we got to figure all this stuff out. Probably, Yeah, 763 00:45:05.079 --> 00:45:08.639 So my guess is Friday morning, if everything goes well, 764 00:45:10.159 --> 00:45:14.320 then you probably would be a Friday morning announcement something 765 00:45:14.360 --> 00:45:18.599 like that leading into the weekend. That's my guess. And Ricky, 766 00:45:18.760 --> 00:45:20.840 we're gonna win and make our FX Network debut a 767 00:45:20.880 --> 00:45:24.320 good one. Yeah, you are not alone in that, I'm sure, 768 00:45:25.360 --> 00:45:29.199 kaylor Hodges. In the month of everything USL so we 769 00:45:29.239 --> 00:45:31.440 got to talk Jegermeister. We got to talk their visit 770 00:45:31.519 --> 00:45:34.239 to Portland, find out what it's like to go sample, 771 00:45:34.280 --> 00:45:38.079 what's up there, p hop in League one, USL Championship, 772 00:45:38.119 --> 00:45:40.039 all the things. We'll catch up with Kaylor coming up 773 00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:42.840 bottom of the hour in about forty minutes to break 774 00:45:42.880 --> 00:45:51.239 everything down. Speaking of transfers. Speaking of transfers, you'll remember, 775 00:45:52.280 --> 00:45:54.760 and I want to do this just so I can see, 776 00:45:57.159 --> 00:46:01.119 just so I can see my own responses here. So 777 00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:10.880 all right, I have sent so three days ago. Three 778 00:46:10.960 --> 00:46:16.880 days ago, I sent a note to John Texter or 779 00:46:16.880 --> 00:46:19.320 what I assume an and or imagined to be John 780 00:46:19.320 --> 00:46:25.280 Texter's Instagram account. So we are on day three of 781 00:46:25.320 --> 00:46:30.000 requesting an interview with John Texter about anything and everything. 782 00:46:31.480 --> 00:46:34.639 I will clear the decks. I literally will clear all 783 00:46:34.639 --> 00:46:41.320 the decks. We'll come up with a day and I 784 00:46:41.440 --> 00:46:45.920 literally will lock everything out. It's like, all right, in 785 00:46:45.960 --> 00:46:47.159 a perfect world, I'd love for it to be a 786 00:46:47.239 --> 00:46:53.400 Tuesday where you know, all right, here's the deal, shows 787 00:46:53.400 --> 00:46:55.519 wide open. Don't know what part of the planet you're on, 788 00:46:55.800 --> 00:46:58.000 We'll figure it out. If you can't come on live, 789 00:46:58.079 --> 00:47:02.320 we'll do a special. So we are three days into 790 00:47:02.400 --> 00:47:09.599 inviting John Texter onto the show, and uh, I have 791 00:47:09.719 --> 00:47:16.320 gotten zero response, zero, none, not up bupptis am I 792 00:47:16.480 --> 00:47:24.679 anticipating one. No common courtesy would be nice, But I 793 00:47:24.840 --> 00:47:29.119 have yet to get a response from John Texter. And 794 00:47:29.159 --> 00:47:30.719 like I said, I told him, I said, traditionally it's 795 00:47:30.719 --> 00:47:33.039 fifteen to twenty minutes when we do these interviews, but 796 00:47:33.079 --> 00:47:34.840 I'd be more than happy to blow out the whole thing. 797 00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:40.239 So we are day three of not hearing from John 798 00:47:40.280 --> 00:47:43.719 Texter at all, So we'll keep an eye on that 799 00:47:43.840 --> 00:47:48.239 as well. So, uh, that that's your that's your that's 800 00:47:48.239 --> 00:47:51.800 your John Texter. Update, now that this transaction with Chiago 801 00:47:51.840 --> 00:47:56.519 Almada has occurred, is it Landa United getting that sell 802 00:47:56.519 --> 00:48:00.840 on fee? Like I said, we're talking about thirty million 803 00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:07.719 bucks ish somewhere in there that a particular club needs 804 00:48:07.719 --> 00:48:13.039 to send to another particular club. I'm just saying, you know, 805 00:48:14.719 --> 00:48:20.000 I'm just saying, So we'll keep an eye. Obviously, we'll 806 00:48:20.039 --> 00:48:23.440 keep an eye on that as we go. There are 807 00:48:23.440 --> 00:48:26.000 a couple of like deep divy stories that I wanted 808 00:48:26.000 --> 00:48:29.679 to get into this morning just to kind of keep 809 00:48:29.800 --> 00:48:35.239 all of everybody's eyes on things. And one of them 810 00:48:35.280 --> 00:48:37.400 has to do with a club in trouble and they 811 00:48:37.400 --> 00:48:39.239 are a nationallygue club and they have been in the 812 00:48:39.280 --> 00:48:43.400 lower divisions in England League One, League two in the 813 00:48:43.480 --> 00:48:47.440 last decade and now it's pretty bad and so I 814 00:48:47.480 --> 00:48:50.639 wanted to get into that particular club just to let 815 00:48:50.719 --> 00:48:54.559 you know how bad things are. Sheffield Wednesday once again 816 00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:58.119 getting into the whole John Texter thing. They lost their 817 00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:03.360 coach earlier. Today Danny Roll out the door. They separated 818 00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:09.559 by mutual consent of course when paying people, and initially 819 00:49:09.920 --> 00:49:11.880 Danny Roll was like, no, I'm not coming in. Then 820 00:49:11.920 --> 00:49:14.440 he decided he was. Then the players that had not 821 00:49:17.360 --> 00:49:19.679 come back because of how they were treated by Sheffield 822 00:49:19.719 --> 00:49:22.440 Wednesday looked at Danny Roll and they're like bruh. Then 823 00:49:22.559 --> 00:49:25.400 Role changed his mind. Today they're separating by mutual consent. 824 00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:26.960 But there is another club that I did want to 825 00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:31.760 look at, and then another. Then another story going on 826 00:49:31.800 --> 00:49:35.280 from our friends at Yosumar Football that has to do 827 00:49:35.679 --> 00:49:39.920 with uh here's their headline and the head the the 828 00:49:39.960 --> 00:49:44.320 title of the article is PUSA Change from Filipo Claire 829 00:49:46.719 --> 00:49:49.639 and it has to do with Premier League clubs looking 830 00:49:49.639 --> 00:49:54.639 for betting partners and the UK regulators that are just 831 00:49:54.719 --> 00:49:56.440 kind of staring at things when it comes to the 832 00:49:56.480 --> 00:49:59.280 gambling aspects that you see in front on front of 833 00:49:59.320 --> 00:50:03.599 all of the jerseys in the Premier League.

Jason will have the call for you, 884 00:52:38.760 --> 00:52:44.360 I think on Wednesday, but it's the twos in Foxborough 885 00:52:44.440 --> 00:52:49.159 taking on the Revs. Eleven o'clock start and they're doing 886 00:52:49.199 --> 00:52:53.360 that tomorrow morning, So you keep your bookmarks ready on 887 00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:56.280 the network for all of our coverage with the twos 888 00:52:56.320 --> 00:52:59.239 and the Revs. Two that is tomorrow morning at eleven. 889 00:52:59.320 --> 00:53:01.840 Then we have all your coverage from n Acosa that 890 00:53:01.960 --> 00:53:04.920 is a normal broadcast on ninety two nine in the 891 00:53:04.920 --> 00:53:07.039 game in the Odyssey app so it's gonna be five 892 00:53:07.079 --> 00:53:11.480 stripes countdown kicking things off at is it six thirty? 893 00:53:11.760 --> 00:53:15.840 Hang on? It? Is it six thirty or seven? Hang on? 894 00:53:15.920 --> 00:53:19.159 Hang on? So there's seven thirty, so seven forty start. 895 00:53:19.199 --> 00:53:22.079 I believe. I believe they're taking the same format that 896 00:53:22.119 --> 00:53:25.639 we do with Major League Soccer. So number twenty eight 897 00:53:25.679 --> 00:53:29.480 seed NACOXA, number twenty nine seed Atlanta United, Apple TVMLS 898 00:53:29.480 --> 00:53:33.119 Season Pass and Apple TV Plus.

Then 900 00:53:36.480 --> 00:53:38.599 it will be Mike and Jason on play by play, 901 00:53:38.840 --> 00:53:40.960 and then Abe and I will have the postgame report 902 00:53:41.360 --> 00:53:45.280 and it'll be on ninety two nine in the game 903 00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:47.400 in the Odyssey app seven to forty kick from Mercedes 904 00:53:47.400 --> 00:53:51.280 Benz Stadium.

They were 1002 00:59:12.079 --> 00:59:15.559 showing the Polish League yesterday, which I thought was interesting 1003 00:59:15.639 --> 00:59:18.760 and intriguing, and that's a part of their grid this year. 1004 00:59:18.800 --> 00:59:22.920 You get all the the Aftcon, the Wafcon, Libertadors sud Americana. 1005 00:59:23.599 --> 00:59:25.960 They've even tapped into Tigo Sports and Canal for and 1006 00:59:26.000 --> 00:59:28.559 c ATV now, so you're getting more Central American stuff, 1007 00:59:28.880 --> 00:59:32.079 all the b ins, Cdeo, Noister Tella for the fans, 1008 00:59:32.239 --> 00:59:36.320 Taysa our Buddy, Nino Torres and Gold TV.

See now, I know that 1011 00:59:43.000 --> 00:59:45.199 I'm leaving something behind and it's going to annoy me 1012 00:59:45.360 --> 00:59:48.480 when I do. Because you can listen to watch Tay 1013 00:59:48.519 --> 00:59:52.679 Say for all of their programming. Let's see watch now, 1014 00:59:52.719 --> 00:59:54.360 I want to watch now. So what do we have 1015 00:59:55.800 --> 01:00:00.159 Let's just say featured content. The Brasilero is in this 1016 01:00:00.280 --> 01:00:04.280 year as well, So it is Sportia on TASA talking 1017 01:00:04.320 --> 01:00:09.400 about how bad things are at Boca Juniors and it 1018 01:00:09.480 --> 01:00:15.159 looks like, obviously, if if there is not a win, 1019 01:00:15.920 --> 01:00:21.639 it looks like that the coaching staff might be out 1020 01:00:21.679 --> 01:00:25.039 at Boca Juniors. I cannot think of a worse run 1021 01:00:25.079 --> 01:00:29.440 that they have had recently, but Boca Juniors has not 1022 01:00:29.599 --> 01:00:31.760 been doing well and apparently if they do not beat 1023 01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:37.920 Urakhan then that might be it. Let's see so super Football, 1024 01:00:38.400 --> 01:00:41.679 paddle Lega one, Legal one, Max pro b and Taysea 1025 01:00:41.800 --> 01:00:46.400 Goal TV and they even have a TVV now too. 1026 01:00:46.679 --> 01:00:48.920 Some of the stuff is part of their basic package, 1027 01:00:48.960 --> 01:00:51.320 some of the stuff is a part of the Expando package, 1028 01:00:51.360 --> 01:00:55.840 but a lot of the things are there and be 1029 01:00:56.039 --> 01:00:59.360 a true to add to your true nature of crazy 1030 01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:04.320 finants FNTZ dot co slash Soccer down here. So you 1031 01:01:04.400 --> 01:01:07.639 got all that all right. So Ricky as a public service, 1032 01:01:07.679 --> 01:01:09.480 since we're here, before I get into the rest of 1033 01:01:09.639 --> 01:01:12.960 Major League Soccer and the news and those newsy stories 1034 01:01:12.960 --> 01:01:15.800 that I wanted to get into this morning, Ricky as 1035 01:01:15.840 --> 01:01:19.639 a public service has given us a Flamingo player announcement 1036 01:01:19.679 --> 01:01:25.519 on social media and I will h Emerson Royal as 1037 01:01:25.679 --> 01:01:31.119 black Panther. Wow, that's a lot of work. So here 1038 01:01:31.400 --> 01:01:36.280 is where here, Here's where it is. So Emerson Royal 1039 01:01:36.519 --> 01:01:40.239 was mentioned as their newest player and they have him 1040 01:01:40.280 --> 01:01:45.760 completely and totally maxed out as black Panther. I think 1041 01:01:45.800 --> 01:01:50.800 the lesson there do not piss off Emerson Royal. It's 1042 01:01:50.840 --> 01:01:52.960 a gorgeous photo. It's a lot of a lot of 1043 01:01:52.960 --> 01:01:56.679 work that went into that. So no, I mean, I 1044 01:01:56.800 --> 01:01:59.400 you know, I don't know. Yeah, I mean, I don't 1045 01:01:59.400 --> 01:02:03.400 know why they thought that Emerson Royal and black Panther 1046 01:02:03.519 --> 01:02:05.079 would be a way to go. I don't know if 1047 01:02:05.119 --> 01:02:08.559 there's any backstory there. A lot of work went into it. 1048 01:02:08.559 --> 01:02:14.119 It's gorgeous. Flamingo went in that direction. So I have 1049 01:02:15.119 --> 01:02:19.320 questions obviously, But I mean, like I said, it's gorgeous. 1050 01:02:19.320 --> 01:02:20.679 A lot of work went into it, but I have 1051 01:02:20.719 --> 01:02:24.639 north the idea why they went that way, no clue. Yeah, 1052 01:02:24.719 --> 01:02:26.119 Ricky's like, I don't know why they thought that was 1053 01:02:26.159 --> 01:02:28.800 a great idea. I couldn't tell you. I don't I 1054 01:02:28.840 --> 01:02:30.599 do not know. I don't know if there's any history 1055 01:02:30.639 --> 01:02:32.519 there or if this was just something they thought there 1056 01:02:32.559 --> 01:02:34.840 It was like, well, you know what, what if we 1057 01:02:34.920 --> 01:02:39.199 did this? So we'll see what the response is on 1058 01:02:40.280 --> 01:02:43.679 social media when it comes to that. Okay, last weekend 1059 01:02:43.679 --> 01:02:46.440 in Major League Soccer, just to get everybody caught up, 1060 01:02:46.480 --> 01:02:49.039 and we'll get you into the standings heading into Leagues Cup, 1061 01:02:50.679 --> 01:02:56.920 heading into Leagues Cup. From the weekend, you had Montreal 1062 01:02:57.039 --> 01:02:59.639 shocking New England, and then that was that literally was 1063 01:02:59.639 --> 01:03:00.840 one of the things where you sit to you know, 1064 01:03:00.920 --> 01:03:05.000 really did not have that one on the Bengo card. 1065 01:03:05.159 --> 01:03:07.599 I did not I legitimately did not have that one 1066 01:03:07.639 --> 01:03:10.239 on the Bengo card at all. And so you end 1067 01:03:10.320 --> 01:03:14.639 up with Montreal shocking New England. And now since it's 1068 01:03:14.639 --> 01:03:18.039 a day that ends, and why everybody in the Northeast 1069 01:03:18.519 --> 01:03:20.800 is sitting there and they're looking at Caleb Porter and 1070 01:03:20.840 --> 01:03:24.880 they're going, why are you our coach. The hardcore fans 1071 01:03:24.880 --> 01:03:29.719 are sitting there going, you know what, really we have 1072 01:03:29.800 --> 01:03:31.519 to put up with him after all of that run 1073 01:03:31.599 --> 01:03:37.599 of form and then all of a sudden not so much. So. 1074 01:03:37.880 --> 01:03:39.960 Back on Friday, cee IF Montreal at a plus three 1075 01:03:40.079 --> 01:03:42.199 thirty seven beat the Revs three to one. Purple Team 1076 01:03:42.239 --> 01:03:44.000 beat Crew three to one. I think that the margin 1077 01:03:44.119 --> 01:03:46.119 was probably a surprise, but of course, when you're chasing 1078 01:03:46.159 --> 01:03:49.239 a match and you're down, then you end up with 1079 01:03:49.280 --> 01:03:51.440 transition moments, and that's why it got to three to one. 1080 01:03:52.000 --> 01:03:55.719 Purple Team wanted a plus two to eight nycing a shootout. 1081 01:03:56.199 --> 01:03:59.119 Beats Dallas in Dallas at a plus one sixty five 1082 01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:03.920 four to three trick there on the way, and the 1083 01:04:04.079 --> 01:04:08.559 fans in Dallas are letting Luco Acosta have it because 1084 01:04:08.599 --> 01:04:16.239 I think they've had it with Luco Acosta. It has 1085 01:04:16.280 --> 01:04:20.880 not been a successful transaction and it has not gone 1086 01:04:21.079 --> 01:04:26.719 very well for Luco Acosta in Dallas. Let me grab 1087 01:04:26.800 --> 01:04:33.079 the numbers just so, just so we can see his 1088 01:04:33.519 --> 01:04:39.119 match log output this season, and literally the last two 1089 01:04:39.159 --> 01:04:43.400 matches he has been a second half sub. So he 1090 01:04:43.679 --> 01:04:56.000 has this season. Let's see two, three, four, six six 1091 01:04:56.119 --> 01:05:01.639 goals on the board six goals so far this season 1092 01:05:01.760 --> 01:05:07.039 for Dallas, but since the brace he scored back on 1093 01:05:07.119 --> 01:05:09.719 June fourteenth, he has been goose eggs in his last 1094 01:05:09.719 --> 01:05:15.119 five three matches he started and now he is being 1095 01:05:15.159 --> 01:05:19.920 shaken up by Eric Quill. Last match he started was 1096 01:05:20.000 --> 01:05:27.519 July fourth, has not scored since June fourteenth, had two 1097 01:05:27.599 --> 01:05:30.559 matches before that when he scored an Open Cup. So 1098 01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:36.639 it's six goals in all comps to where it is 1099 01:05:36.800 --> 01:05:41.800 literally four goals this season in MLS play, two goals 1100 01:05:41.800 --> 01:05:44.440 in Open Cup. So he has scored against Red Bulls 1101 01:05:44.440 --> 01:05:47.119 and Open Cup and he's scored against av Alta in 1102 01:05:47.239 --> 01:05:50.800 Open Cup. I know a lot of folks are sitting 1103 01:05:50.840 --> 01:05:57.639 there going four goals for Luco Acosta in MLS this season, 1104 01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:01.119 two in Open Cup, one against Avie Alta. Fans have 1105 01:06:01.119 --> 01:06:04.440 had it and they are letting him. So if you 1106 01:06:04.599 --> 01:06:06.599 if you want to go on social media and you 1107 01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:09.880 want to see just how much that they're letting. They're 1108 01:06:09.920 --> 01:06:12.280 letting Luco Costa have it. The fans of SC Dallas 1109 01:06:12.280 --> 01:06:18.559 have had it last two matches as a sub and 1110 01:06:18.760 --> 01:06:21.159 the biggest thing right now they're just like, you know, 1111 01:06:21.239 --> 01:06:25.039 what if he if he sits, if he go. If 1112 01:06:25.079 --> 01:06:31.280 he goes to North Texas, we are not going to mind. 1113 01:06:32.960 --> 01:06:35.039 So that's where the situation is with luco A Costa 1114 01:06:35.159 --> 01:06:37.440 right now. Four to three shootout. He had nothing to 1115 01:06:37.440 --> 01:06:41.679 do with it. Four goals in Major League Soccer this season. 1116 01:06:42.559 --> 01:06:44.440 San Diego in one of the matches. We did talk 1117 01:06:44.480 --> 01:06:46.760 about it yesterday and somewhat in reughing down here with 1118 01:06:46.880 --> 01:06:51.239 bart where you had the back line of Nashville kind 1119 01:06:51.239 --> 01:06:55.719 of sitting there and running the edge with Drew Fisher. 1120 01:06:56.960 --> 01:07:00.639 Then they found where the edge was. They certainly did 1121 01:07:01.239 --> 01:07:04.559 one nil win for San Diego at a plus one 1122 01:07:04.679 --> 01:07:09.320 thirty five. I'm guessing that the the late opportunity for 1123 01:07:09.360 --> 01:07:13.400 Anders Dryer ended up as an off side call late chance. 1124 01:07:13.440 --> 01:07:16.199 In transition, Portland shuts out LAFC. That was one of 1125 01:07:16.239 --> 01:07:18.719 the biggest news news and notes from the last weekend. 1126 01:07:19.360 --> 01:07:24.480 At a plus six forty six, Portland biggest, the biggest 1127 01:07:24.519 --> 01:07:28.119 number on the board wins at LAFC. LAFC going in 1128 01:07:28.239 --> 01:07:31.559 was a minus two fifty. Portland goes on to win 1129 01:07:32.000 --> 01:07:34.320 at a plus six forty six, big three points for them. 1130 01:07:35.440 --> 01:07:38.760 Messi and friends in Cincinnati. Both sides were pissed by 1131 01:07:38.800 --> 01:07:42.760 the end of it all. Cincinnati thought they had a 1132 01:07:42.760 --> 01:07:47.119 game winner, but after a lengthy VR review Video Assistant referee, 1133 01:07:47.239 --> 01:07:50.800 Yeah VR review, Pat Noonon had a reason to be mad. 1134 01:07:50.840 --> 01:07:53.679 He thinks Messi and Friends had a reason to be mad. 1135 01:07:53.760 --> 01:07:58.039 They think going back to a bit of the discussion 1136 01:07:58.079 --> 01:08:03.559 we had yesterday, this higher situation where you did not 1137 01:08:03.679 --> 01:08:07.039 and how does Jordi Alba get shafted in this conversation, 1138 01:08:07.119 --> 01:08:12.280 everybody's focusing on Messy, no one's mentioning Jordi Albo. What 1139 01:08:12.320 --> 01:08:16.560 does Jordi Alba have to say about this? But legitimately, 1140 01:08:16.680 --> 01:08:20.680 this is all you had to do if you were 1141 01:08:22.720 --> 01:08:25.840 if you were Messy and Friends, literally all you had 1142 01:08:25.880 --> 01:08:33.239 to do in your schedule. We've seen other clubs do 1143 01:08:33.359 --> 01:08:37.159 it all the time, and said the example that I 1144 01:08:37.279 --> 01:08:41.640 give is always Greg Popovich load management, and he got 1145 01:08:41.680 --> 01:08:46.640 away with it in the five to one win against 1146 01:08:46.800 --> 01:08:53.079 Red Bulls. Here's what you do. Here's your one oh 1147 01:08:53.079 --> 01:09:00.680 one for making sure that your stars stay stars. This 1148 01:09:00.760 --> 01:09:05.920 is this is one oh one. Legitimately you're up, all right, 1149 01:09:05.960 --> 01:09:08.439 So let's let's go into the game. Let's go into 1150 01:09:08.479 --> 01:09:12.760 the game. Here. Second, so, uh, you had a goal 1151 01:09:14.520 --> 01:09:22.079 for Red Bulls in the fourteenth minute. Jordi Alba scores 1152 01:09:22.680 --> 01:09:26.000 the twenty fourth Tlasco Segovia scores in the twenty seventh 1153 01:09:26.119 --> 01:09:27.680 and forty five plus three, so it's three to one 1154 01:09:27.680 --> 01:09:36.119 at the break. Then I see falcona yellow, Michello awaygana 1155 01:09:36.159 --> 01:09:44.239 yellow and color me shocked. So Messi scores in the 1156 01:09:44.319 --> 01:09:52.920 sixtieth substitutions happen, none of them, Messy, Kramowski in Agenda 1157 01:09:53.039 --> 01:09:59.600 out Yick Bright in Segovia out, Ovulous in Luhan out. 1158 01:09:59.640 --> 01:10:02.319 Messi scores again to make it five to one, assists 1159 01:10:02.319 --> 01:10:07.760 from Sarez and Kramowsky. At that moment, you're up by four. 1160 01:10:10.279 --> 01:10:13.000 At that moment, I'm thinking that the match is in hand. 1161 01:10:16.560 --> 01:10:22.640 Maybe before the match in Harrison, New Jersey, you Reinforce 1162 01:10:22.680 --> 01:10:27.640 in a conversation behind closed doors, Dude, do you want 1163 01:10:27.640 --> 01:10:28.720 to play in the All Star Game? 1164 01:10:28.760 --> 01:10:28.800 No? 1165 01:10:28.880 --> 01:10:35.399 I really don't. Okay, then let's do this at a 1166 01:10:35.439 --> 01:10:38.000 point late in the match. I know it's not what 1167 01:10:38.119 --> 01:10:44.399 you really like, knowing the competitor that you are. What 1168 01:10:44.520 --> 01:10:49.800 if we did this seventy you know, late in the 1169 01:10:49.840 --> 01:10:52.880 match matches in control. If the match is in control, 1170 01:10:52.960 --> 01:10:57.479 let's do this. We check you out of the match. 1171 01:10:58.960 --> 01:11:01.800 We have the physio's look at you. After the match 1172 01:11:01.880 --> 01:11:05.119 is over, we come out in the postmatch press conference 1173 01:11:05.159 --> 01:11:06.640 and we sit there and say, we're going to keep 1174 01:11:06.640 --> 01:11:10.520 an eye on Leo. We're going to keep an eye 1175 01:11:10.560 --> 01:11:13.039 on him. You know, muscles, you know, you know, thirty 1176 01:11:13.039 --> 01:11:14.439 eight and all. We're going to keep an eye on 1177 01:11:14.520 --> 01:11:16.399 him and try to manage his minutes and make sure 1178 01:11:16.439 --> 01:11:18.640 that he's gonna be okay for us because of all 1179 01:11:18.680 --> 01:11:21.560 these competitions that we've been in, et cetera, et cetera, 1180 01:11:21.560 --> 01:11:25.800 et cetera. So you send up a bit of a 1181 01:11:25.800 --> 01:11:33.359 flare after the the Red Bulls blowout, and then you 1182 01:11:33.560 --> 01:11:39.680 go to the league and go and this is literally 1183 01:11:39.760 --> 01:11:42.239 after you have checked him out of the match. Like 1184 01:11:42.279 --> 01:11:44.640 I said, if the match is in control, matches in control. 1185 01:11:44.680 --> 01:11:46.680 If not, then after ninety minutes, then you still come 1186 01:11:46.720 --> 01:11:50.039 out after the match. Physios have told me that we 1187 01:11:50.119 --> 01:11:52.439 have to kind of manage Leo and manage his minutes 1188 01:11:52.479 --> 01:11:54.640 because he's got a muscle pull or a strain or 1189 01:11:54.680 --> 01:11:56.439 something like that. We got to keep an eye on him, 1190 01:11:56.479 --> 01:11:58.199 especially if we want to be as successful as we 1191 01:11:58.239 --> 01:12:00.960 want to be and win MLS Cup for our fans. 1192 01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:04.760 Here in twenty twenty five, and that is the word. 1193 01:12:04.800 --> 01:12:08.760 It goes public, goes public. Hey, we got to keep 1194 01:12:08.760 --> 01:12:11.560 an eye out on Leo and Jordia Alba. Jordia Alba, 1195 01:12:11.600 --> 01:12:13.000 by the way, checked out in the eighty fifth minute. 1196 01:12:13.000 --> 01:12:16.720 Morales came in for him, so Jordie Alba checked out. 1197 01:12:18.039 --> 01:12:20.800 Jordie Alba and Messi are supposed to go to Austin 1198 01:12:20.920 --> 01:12:28.840 to play in All Star festivities and parties. But if 1199 01:12:28.840 --> 01:12:31.760 they but if you come out after the Red Bulls 1200 01:12:31.760 --> 01:12:32.920 match and sit there and say, hey, we got to 1201 01:12:32.960 --> 01:12:39.960 keep an eye on them, and then the league nos, 1202 01:12:40.000 --> 01:12:42.920 like literally, you say it publicly, the league knows, Hey, okay, 1203 01:12:43.520 --> 01:12:45.359 we got to keep an eye on Messi and Jordia Alba. 1204 01:12:45.439 --> 01:12:47.640 You know, they're kind of kind of slowing down a 1205 01:12:47.640 --> 01:12:49.439 little bit. We got to keep an eye on their muscles. 1206 01:12:49.640 --> 01:12:51.439 They're gonna spend some extra time on the training table. 1207 01:12:51.479 --> 01:12:54.479 They may not practice, you know, on Monday or something. 1208 01:12:54.520 --> 01:12:59.279 They may not go through things. So you know, they're 1209 01:12:59.279 --> 01:13:03.319 they're participant in Austin, might be in doubt. They'll go. 1210 01:13:04.760 --> 01:13:07.119 They'll they'll go and they'll they'll hang out. I don't 1211 01:13:07.119 --> 01:13:10.079 know how effective they'll be. They'll be great ambassadors. For 1212 01:13:10.239 --> 01:13:17.439 from Messian friends, but they'll go. You didn't do that. 1213 01:13:19.239 --> 01:13:24.359 You basically said that you didn't that at the last 1214 01:13:24.680 --> 01:13:29.520 they're they're not going. Now you understand the hue and cry. 1215 01:13:29.680 --> 01:13:34.720 If you had laid some groundwork to where you had 1216 01:13:34.720 --> 01:13:38.000 said that your stars are a little dinged, you got 1217 01:13:38.039 --> 01:13:40.880 to check some muscles out, you got to do some stuff. 1218 01:13:42.239 --> 01:13:44.279 They've got to be healthy. I don't know if they 1219 01:13:44.319 --> 01:13:50.079 can do competition against LEGA amtkis. They'll be more than 1220 01:13:50.119 --> 01:13:53.800 happy to be ambassadors, but I would recommend, if I'm 1221 01:13:54.039 --> 01:13:56.479 if I'm Javier Mascherano, at that point, I would recommend 1222 01:13:56.960 --> 01:14:01.119 that their minutes and activities be limited in Austin, Texas 1223 01:14:02.399 --> 01:14:05.359 because of what is remaining on our plate this year 1224 01:14:05.720 --> 01:14:08.119 for the successes for inter Miami. I think the league 1225 01:14:08.119 --> 01:14:13.920 would understand you at that point. Lay some groundwork. Don't 1226 01:14:13.960 --> 01:14:16.039 just drop a bomb on folks. Don't just sit there 1227 01:14:16.119 --> 01:14:20.319 and sit there and say nah, they ain't common. Lay 1228 01:14:20.359 --> 01:14:25.319 some groundwork. And I know that there have been folks 1229 01:14:25.359 --> 01:14:29.359 who have been doing there have they have been doing 1230 01:14:29.399 --> 01:14:35.199 some things. I mean, I'm fairly certain and like I said, 1231 01:14:35.199 --> 01:14:37.319 this is me just guessing, and I know four cardia 1232 01:14:37.840 --> 01:14:43.159 mls is being petty. I'm sure that in the contracts 1233 01:14:43.239 --> 01:14:51.720 somewhere there's a nebulous phrase that said other duties as defined. 1234 01:14:54.720 --> 01:14:59.560 That's probably a nebulous phrase, and I'm sure that all 1235 01:14:59.560 --> 01:15:04.680 star would fit in that. Then that phrasing. All you 1236 01:15:04.760 --> 01:15:07.760 gotta do is lay some groundwork. To think of it 1237 01:15:07.800 --> 01:15:14.760 as c ya think of it that way. How can 1238 01:15:14.880 --> 01:15:20.560 you keep your stars healthy and still have them represent 1239 01:15:20.640 --> 01:15:26.079 your club and represent the league. In the end, it 1240 01:15:26.199 --> 01:15:28.520 was referred to Don Garber said he had a difficult 1241 01:15:28.520 --> 01:15:32.880 decision to make, and then we had all those theories 1242 01:15:32.920 --> 01:15:35.640 about well it'll be a suspension. It just won't be 1243 01:15:35.680 --> 01:15:42.039 the suspension if you had laid the groundwork ahead of time. 1244 01:15:43.359 --> 01:15:48.119 In that Red Bulls post match presser, hey man, I 1245 01:15:48.119 --> 01:15:51.439 don't know. Yeah, I got to look out for my guys. 1246 01:15:51.479 --> 01:15:53.800 And you know you saw Leo walking off the field. 1247 01:15:53.800 --> 01:15:56.760 He's a little a little slow. Jordie Album a little slow. 1248 01:15:56.880 --> 01:16:01.560 And where's Jordi Alba been in this discussion? Lay some 1249 01:16:01.720 --> 01:16:07.600 groundwork for this stuff. To protect the golden goose, sometimes 1250 01:16:07.600 --> 01:16:13.359 you've got to have the down pillow. That's what you've 1251 01:16:13.359 --> 01:16:21.680 got to do. No One in the administration in Fort Lauderdale. 1252 01:16:22.159 --> 01:16:24.600 I don't know, did they just think that well? And 1253 01:16:24.640 --> 01:16:29.359 as somewhat rhetorical as I ask this, just play, just 1254 01:16:29.439 --> 01:16:31.640 play by the rules that are there in front of you. 1255 01:16:33.279 --> 01:16:37.239 Sure the idea might be a little you know, antiquated 1256 01:16:37.359 --> 01:16:41.000 of you know your you're you are a contracted You're 1257 01:16:41.079 --> 01:16:45.560 a contractor under a league, and what the league says goes. Sure, 1258 01:16:46.800 --> 01:16:50.880 I get that you're under contract to Major League Soccer. 1259 01:16:50.920 --> 01:16:54.239 Therefore Major League Soccer needs you to be in Austin, Texas. Okay, cool, 1260 01:16:55.800 --> 01:16:59.359 I get it. Nothing wrong with that to be honored 1261 01:16:59.359 --> 01:17:02.159 to be a part of, you know, our fixes for 1262 01:17:02.199 --> 01:17:05.199 the All Star Game at Q two. And I'm sure 1263 01:17:05.199 --> 01:17:06.840 that there were a lot of folks that were mad 1264 01:17:08.279 --> 01:17:10.960 that bought tickets to Q two that didn't get the 1265 01:17:11.039 --> 01:17:14.640 chance to see Messy and Friends at Q two. Under 1266 01:17:14.680 --> 01:17:18.680 any circumstance, all you had to do ahead of time, 1267 01:17:19.960 --> 01:17:25.560 lay some groundwork instead of sitting there and everybody yapping 1268 01:17:25.600 --> 01:17:31.560 at the top of their lungs and going rare about 1269 01:17:31.600 --> 01:17:38.560 being mistreated. In this situation about an arcane rule, Take 1270 01:17:38.600 --> 01:17:42.359 the rules in front of you, do what's best for 1271 01:17:42.399 --> 01:17:52.520 your club, act accordingly, just a little professionalism, and then 1272 01:17:52.600 --> 01:17:54.560 after the fact, sit there and go, well, you know, 1273 01:17:54.720 --> 01:17:58.520 we would have liked for Leo to rehabilitate in Fort 1274 01:17:58.560 --> 01:18:01.520 Lauderdale during this time. We understand that, you know, we 1275 01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:04.720 understand that both he and Jordie Alba had you know, 1276 01:18:06.600 --> 01:18:10.920 responsibilities about to say, duties, responsibilities for the league in Austin, 1277 01:18:10.960 --> 01:18:14.079 Texas during All Star during All Story Week. We understand 1278 01:18:14.119 --> 01:18:19.640 that in lieu of what our coach Javiermascherano said post 1279 01:18:19.720 --> 01:18:26.279 match in Harrison, New Jersey, we would respect, we would 1280 01:18:26.279 --> 01:18:30.520 ask for respect from the league that their activities be minimized. 1281 01:18:32.479 --> 01:18:37.319 They're dinged up. That's all you had to do. And 1282 01:18:37.399 --> 01:18:39.640 now you have this hue and cry from one end 1283 01:18:39.640 --> 01:18:43.199 of the planet to the other where you're sitting there 1284 01:18:43.199 --> 01:18:48.720 going everything's wrong, everything is upside down. We're not getting 1285 01:18:48.800 --> 01:18:51.399 you know, we're not being respected this and that. It's arcane. 1286 01:18:51.399 --> 01:18:57.680 It's old, dude. Those are the rules. They're the rules. 1287 01:18:58.239 --> 01:19:01.920 Are U l e. S rules, That's what they are. 1288 01:19:02.880 --> 01:19:04.319 All you got to do is abide by him. It's 1289 01:19:04.359 --> 01:19:09.800 not hard. We're catching up with him before the school 1290 01:19:09.880 --> 01:19:15.720 year starts and he's in a car. I guess he 1291 01:19:15.800 --> 01:19:17.640 worked out early this morning. He's trying to get everything 1292 01:19:17.640 --> 01:19:20.680 all squared away. So we bring in Kaylor Hodges and 1293 01:19:20.720 --> 01:19:23.560 find out what's going on in the world of USL 1294 01:19:23.640 --> 01:19:27.920 USL Championship road trips et Ceter Taylor, Where are you, sir? 1295 01:19:28.760 --> 01:19:33.279 I am currently in a truck and I am taking 1296 01:19:33.359 --> 01:19:36.560 a slight thirty minute break of teaching so I can 1297 01:19:36.600 --> 01:19:39.960 talk about the USL Championship League one and Portland Hearts 1298 01:19:40.000 --> 01:19:42.479 of Pine and League two and all the good stuff 1299 01:19:42.520 --> 01:19:43.439 that's happening in the world. 1300 01:19:44.239 --> 01:19:47.359 Absolutely true, and we thank you for it. First off, 1301 01:19:47.399 --> 01:19:49.640 let's talk about the roadie. How was the road trip, sir? 1302 01:19:50.520 --> 01:19:56.600 Well, second straight year I was able to go. However, 1303 01:19:57.880 --> 01:20:01.239 I got a new job and the week I started 1304 01:20:01.239 --> 01:20:02.800 my job with the week we had to go, and 1305 01:20:02.840 --> 01:20:04.600 turns out they don't want to give you PTO. Then 1306 01:20:04.760 --> 01:20:09.319 that's the whole thing. But everything that I've gathered and 1307 01:20:09.359 --> 01:20:11.800 I've talked to the guys and we were able to 1308 01:20:11.800 --> 01:20:16.199 get everything set up. I mean, Patty and Damien and Kevin, 1309 01:20:16.319 --> 01:20:19.800 everybody at Portland were a class And the videos I've 1310 01:20:19.880 --> 01:20:22.760 seen so far, the videos that we're putting together for 1311 01:20:22.800 --> 01:20:27.760 the USL show, it's incredible. We loved Oakland, but they 1312 01:20:27.840 --> 01:20:30.920 said this several times on the show Portland Hearts of 1313 01:20:31.000 --> 01:20:34.159 Pine are the class in the USL. Now the class? 1314 01:20:35.000 --> 01:20:39.079 All right, Okay, we can't wait for that video to 1315 01:20:39.119 --> 01:20:41.880 be to be punched out, popped out and shown to 1316 01:20:42.039 --> 01:20:45.600 all the places. And it's something that we got into 1317 01:20:45.640 --> 01:20:48.279 a little bit early on in the program where we 1318 01:20:48.279 --> 01:20:50.479 were talking about Pea Hop and we were talking about 1319 01:20:50.560 --> 01:20:53.960 Vermont Green and we're chasing after Vermont Green as they 1320 01:20:53.960 --> 01:20:56.439 get ready for ballad for the League two championship. Yep, 1321 01:20:56.800 --> 01:21:01.319 but the Northeast Northeast. They're really showing that if you 1322 01:21:01.359 --> 01:21:04.039 didn't know us as a market, then you're really going 1323 01:21:04.119 --> 01:21:05.680 to get to know us as a market because you 1324 01:21:05.720 --> 01:21:07.720 can't get seats at Pea Hopy, you can't get seats 1325 01:21:07.720 --> 01:21:11.079 at Vermont Green and Vermont Green's chasing after a championship. 1326 01:21:11.760 --> 01:21:14.720 Yeah. When we talked to Kevin sul who you guys 1327 01:21:14.760 --> 01:21:17.760 know from his Atlanta days, but we talked to him 1328 01:21:17.760 --> 01:21:20.319 and he said, yeah, there is not a single seat 1329 01:21:20.319 --> 01:21:22.359 available for the rest of the season. We are sold 1330 01:21:22.359 --> 01:21:25.239 out for the rest of the season. We have he said, 1331 01:21:25.359 --> 01:21:28.720 we can't really control the resale market, but it's getting 1332 01:21:28.800 --> 01:21:31.199 up to eighty dollars eighty to one hundred dollars per 1333 01:21:31.279 --> 01:21:35.920 seat for just the USL League one season. Wow, And 1334 01:21:36.359 --> 01:21:39.479 he was like, we can't control what people buy and resell, really, 1335 01:21:39.720 --> 01:21:42.800 but that's what's going for It's been incredible. And with 1336 01:21:42.920 --> 01:21:45.560 Vermont Green, they've always had this showing. And then you 1337 01:21:45.680 --> 01:21:49.039 had University of Vermont win the nc DOUBA and you 1338 01:21:49.239 --> 01:21:51.760 saw the kind of crowd they had. I mean, heck, 1339 01:21:52.319 --> 01:21:56.760 South Georgia's formentioned zone. Yanna Bezini has been absolutely killing 1340 01:21:56.800 --> 01:22:00.239 the game down there, and you're seeing the quality of 1341 01:22:00.359 --> 01:22:03.479 Vermont Green and University of Vermont. I feel like the 1342 01:22:03.520 --> 01:22:06.560 North or the Northeast got a bad rep because people 1343 01:22:06.680 --> 01:22:10.439 kind of see what the Red Bulls kind of look 1344 01:22:10.479 --> 01:22:13.039 like right now, what the Revolution look like right now, 1345 01:22:13.239 --> 01:22:16.399 kind of what New York City looks like right now. 1346 01:22:17.199 --> 01:22:20.560 But if you know anything about Northeast sports, they are 1347 01:22:20.640 --> 01:22:24.479 fanatics about everything. I don't think it's a shock that 1348 01:22:24.600 --> 01:22:27.000 this is a hotbed, as it should be, because you 1349 01:22:27.039 --> 01:22:29.079 have owners that are trying to do right by the 1350 01:22:29.119 --> 01:22:30.119 fans at all times. 1351 01:22:31.279 --> 01:22:35.119 USL Championship. As we look at things, You've got Jegermeister 1352 01:22:35.239 --> 01:22:38.319 stuff going on. Legsiond of acquired in the league, how 1353 01:22:38.520 --> 01:22:42.520 from Vegas Lights, Isaac Gangkings joining Ford Madison from Rhode 1354 01:22:42.520 --> 01:22:46.479 Island Vegas Lights, getting Mackenzie Gaines and Anthony Herbert from 1355 01:22:46.520 --> 01:22:49.560 New Mexico. Where do you want to start? 1356 01:22:50.119 --> 01:22:54.800 I think the biggest one is the corresponding move for 1357 01:22:55.800 --> 01:23:00.319 Las Vegas Lives, which was in Valentino well to to 1358 01:23:00.399 --> 01:23:05.199 New Mexico United, where I mean Noel is one of 1359 01:23:05.239 --> 01:23:08.399 the brightest young attacking players. That I say young, I 1360 01:23:08.399 --> 01:23:11.359 mean he's like mid twenties. That's young, but not according 1361 01:23:11.399 --> 01:23:14.560 to soccer anymore. But he is one of the bright 1362 01:23:14.680 --> 01:23:18.359 players that this league has offered. He's reunited with Sanchez 1363 01:23:18.720 --> 01:23:22.840 where he really shown brightly. And this is an open West. 1364 01:23:22.880 --> 01:23:25.720 We see FC Tulsa sitting at top on the top 1365 01:23:25.840 --> 01:23:29.439 right now, but I think everybody knows what New Mexico 1366 01:23:29.560 --> 01:23:31.920 is and what's coming and the fact that Noel is 1367 01:23:31.960 --> 01:23:34.520 adding to that piece and adding to that midfield, adding 1368 01:23:34.560 --> 01:23:39.760 to that forward line, people should be terrified on that front. 1369 01:23:40.560 --> 01:23:43.119 Kind of for the Southeast people. If you're looking at 1370 01:23:43.159 --> 01:23:46.239 the legion thing, I think the Howell signing is and 1371 01:23:46.279 --> 01:23:48.199 it's a signing for now, but I think it's more 1372 01:23:48.199 --> 01:23:51.239 of an a tent for the future as you are 1373 01:23:51.319 --> 01:23:55.800 seeing like Romie Zamuda, He's not going to be in 1374 01:23:55.880 --> 01:23:58.039 Legion for very long. He's going to be sold for 1375 01:23:58.119 --> 01:24:01.119 a lot of money you have got. It's like Famialkbita, 1376 01:24:01.159 --> 01:24:03.560 who's been injured lately. You know you have a lot 1377 01:24:03.560 --> 01:24:07.439 of kind of rotation in his back line. Jiaga Swarez's 1378 01:24:07.479 --> 01:24:09.720 only in on loan. That have to look at next 1379 01:24:09.720 --> 01:24:12.640 your signing despite him being a Jamaican international. 1380 01:24:13.640 --> 01:24:17.439 You mentioned the West and Tulsa right now, it's like 1381 01:24:17.680 --> 01:24:21.399 you've got two groups. Basically, you've got the lead pack 1382 01:24:21.479 --> 01:24:24.159 with Tulsa San Antonio two points behind, so we're back 1383 01:24:24.199 --> 01:24:28.039 to good San Antonio now this season yep, New Mexico 1384 01:24:28.119 --> 01:24:31.800 at twenty five, Sacramento at twenty four, and then the chaos. 1385 01:24:31.840 --> 01:24:34.359 You have Phoenix and El Paso at twenty three, monter 1386 01:24:34.399 --> 01:24:36.239 A Bay at twenty two, even though they've lost four 1387 01:24:36.319 --> 01:24:39.800 or five, Orange County at twenty they right now with 1388 01:24:39.840 --> 01:24:42.199 two matches in hand or ahead of Roots who have 1389 01:24:42.279 --> 01:24:46.840 won three of five. Lexington's at nineteen. Lexington hasn't lost 1390 01:24:46.920 --> 01:24:50.319 in five. Vegas Lights they've lost three of five. They're 1391 01:24:50.359 --> 01:24:52.600 kind of stumbling around and when they lose, they lose big. 1392 01:24:52.640 --> 01:24:56.079 Their goal difference is massive right now, and switchbacks right 1393 01:24:56.079 --> 01:25:00.840 now at eighteen points. So you've got eighteen separated by 1394 01:25:00.920 --> 01:25:04.680 five points from five to thirteen in the West right now. 1395 01:25:06.039 --> 01:25:08.039 Yeah, I mean I say it last time. Look out 1396 01:25:08.079 --> 01:25:10.560 for Lexington, of course. I mean the talent they have 1397 01:25:10.800 --> 01:25:15.239 is ridiculous, and they finally have landed on an eighteen 1398 01:25:16.000 --> 01:25:19.399 they match day roster when they just kept signing people 1399 01:25:19.439 --> 01:25:22.119 because they've realized they could just keep doing that. They 1400 01:25:22.159 --> 01:25:24.359 just kind of kept rotating that eighteen. It feels like 1401 01:25:24.359 --> 01:25:28.960 they finally landed on By Terry Boss's landed on something 1402 01:25:30.520 --> 01:25:34.000 I've said it from day one. By Motoka in Phoenix. 1403 01:25:34.279 --> 01:25:37.800 I respect him so much. I watch any post match 1404 01:25:37.800 --> 01:25:39.840 presser for him and I want to run through a 1405 01:25:39.840 --> 01:25:42.800 brick wall for him, and there's no It shows you 1406 01:25:42.840 --> 01:25:46.920 why Phoenix may be overperforming a little bit. I don't 1407 01:25:47.039 --> 01:25:49.920 know if Phoenix is good enough to compete for a championship, 1408 01:25:50.359 --> 01:25:52.439 but also it's Phoenix. They're a little bit of the 1409 01:25:52.520 --> 01:25:54.720 Dark Empire. If they make it to the playoffs, you 1410 01:25:54.800 --> 01:25:58.920 fear them, especially they are playing as a team. I 1411 01:25:58.920 --> 01:26:02.000 think there's a lot of teams in that mix Oakland roots. 1412 01:26:02.560 --> 01:26:05.600 Not only are they getting hot. And I've made the 1413 01:26:05.640 --> 01:26:07.680 mistake a few weeks ago saying we see this with 1414 01:26:07.720 --> 01:26:10.920 Oakland every year they get a new coach or they 1415 01:26:10.960 --> 01:26:13.880 have a coach, they start playing bad, they fire their coach, 1416 01:26:13.960 --> 01:26:16.399 they getting a new coach, they start winning. We're like, oh, 1417 01:26:16.479 --> 01:26:19.279 this is the answer. But Phil Auber has done something 1418 01:26:19.319 --> 01:26:23.479 which has made them defensively solid. This is sustainable. 1419 01:26:24.399 --> 01:26:24.640 Right. 1420 01:26:24.920 --> 01:26:27.479 The last few times that we have seen Oakland fire coach, 1421 01:26:27.560 --> 01:26:31.479 fire coach, they'll score five goals, they'll conceive four goals, 1422 01:26:31.479 --> 01:26:34.600 and we're like, man, the vibes are immaculate. But Oakland 1423 01:26:34.840 --> 01:26:38.840 is just grinding out games and are so defensively solid 1424 01:26:39.560 --> 01:26:42.079 that I don't know who can break them down at 1425 01:26:42.079 --> 01:26:42.920 this point. 1426 01:26:43.239 --> 01:26:47.319 Eastern Conference, Hey, look it's Charleston and lew City at 1427 01:26:47.319 --> 01:26:49.039 the top, and then it's everybody. 1428 01:26:48.600 --> 01:26:52.840 Else who would have seen it coming me. 1429 01:26:56.159 --> 01:26:59.079 How is it, and this is probably something of a 1430 01:26:59.159 --> 01:27:01.960 rhetorical question, and how is it that Charleston and Low 1431 01:27:02.119 --> 01:27:06.000 City continue to be just the best of the East 1432 01:27:06.039 --> 01:27:09.239 and there is this performance gap between them and everyone 1433 01:27:09.359 --> 01:27:11.439 else consistently year in and year own. 1434 01:27:13.960 --> 01:27:16.239 Well, you know, there's a couple of years ago where 1435 01:27:16.279 --> 01:27:18.199 lou City kind of fell off a little bit and 1436 01:27:18.199 --> 01:27:20.880 they were sitting around six in the East, and then 1437 01:27:20.920 --> 01:27:23.000 they go on the rye and make it as conference finals. 1438 01:27:23.039 --> 01:27:28.079 Because none of it matters, none of it's real. You 1439 01:27:28.199 --> 01:27:31.520 do see them look Buck, but we build this consistence 1440 01:27:31.600 --> 01:27:33.760 like I see, like Lucity has, and you have the 1441 01:27:33.800 --> 01:27:35.960 stadium like they have, you have the training facility that 1442 01:27:36.039 --> 01:27:40.640 they do. At this point, despite being a second division club, 1443 01:27:41.600 --> 01:27:46.159 they are self sustaining. People know the name, people know 1444 01:27:46.199 --> 01:27:49.039 that if they go there and they shine, they'll be sold. 1445 01:27:50.840 --> 01:27:54.560 They know that they have expand Charleston, on the other hand, 1446 01:27:54.760 --> 01:27:58.359 if you remember three four years ago they were the 1447 01:27:58.399 --> 01:28:03.439 worst team in the league, they were terrific. They bring 1448 01:28:03.439 --> 01:28:07.439 in a new president and then bring in Ben Peerman, 1449 01:28:07.600 --> 01:28:10.159 which I have never heard players say bad things about 1450 01:28:10.199 --> 01:28:12.960 Ben Peureman. I've only had wonderful experience with Ben Peerman. 1451 01:28:13.680 --> 01:28:17.880 That's a guy that plays fun football, right. And we 1452 01:28:18.000 --> 01:28:20.560 talked to Oliver Gage a few weeks ago, who's at Louden, 1453 01:28:20.760 --> 01:28:26.199 and this connects because Charleston was not very attractive. Louden 1454 01:28:26.319 --> 01:28:29.560 was not very attractive. We know that. The Gage said that, 1455 01:28:29.640 --> 01:28:33.159 they said, you know what, screw winning maybe a little bit. 1456 01:28:33.239 --> 01:28:37.439 We're going to play attractive soccer. We're going to play 1457 01:28:37.600 --> 01:28:41.359 fun soccer. So when players played against them, they kept 1458 01:28:41.359 --> 01:28:44.479 telling them, Hey, that was the fun brand that you played. 1459 01:28:45.159 --> 01:28:47.439 And that's what Ben Peerman did a lot of people. 1460 01:28:47.600 --> 01:28:50.520 He brought in good players, they brought in expensive players, 1461 01:28:50.920 --> 01:28:54.079 but he made them fun to play for. And so 1462 01:28:54.279 --> 01:28:57.640 now they have become self recruiting because when you go there, 1463 01:28:57.680 --> 01:28:59.720 you're going to play, You're going to have a good 1464 01:28:59.760 --> 01:29:02.960 time while you're doing your job. So they have become 1465 01:29:03.039 --> 01:29:06.279 self sustaining at this point, which is the exact opposite 1466 01:29:06.279 --> 01:29:13.319 way of Bob Lilly, who they do. They are always good, 1467 01:29:14.800 --> 01:29:16.960 but he's able to act like a college coach because 1468 01:29:16.960 --> 01:29:19.520 he only sounds college players right, But he's able to 1469 01:29:19.600 --> 01:29:22.239 recruit college guys like, hey, I will give you your 1470 01:29:22.359 --> 01:29:25.880 chance of playing professionally. You're used to being screened at 1471 01:29:26.000 --> 01:29:29.560 being this and being that, because that's what you're used to, 1472 01:29:29.800 --> 01:29:32.720 and he can get away with it because they don't 1473 01:29:32.760 --> 01:29:36.319 know any different, and they keep winning. It's completely different 1474 01:29:36.319 --> 01:29:39.159 ways of attacking the issue, but they do end up 1475 01:29:39.199 --> 01:29:40.720 self recruiting, and. 1476 01:29:41.079 --> 01:29:43.840 It's like college players and Robbie Mertz that's usually how 1477 01:29:43.880 --> 01:29:46.079 it is in Pittsburgh tradition. 1478 01:29:46.840 --> 01:29:50.039 Robbie Murtz Jount of Forbes and for some reason still 1479 01:29:50.119 --> 01:29:53.720 Danny Griffin like want they're all there and then just 1480 01:29:54.039 --> 01:29:56.880 some random goalkeeper that they'll get back there. And he's 1481 01:29:56.920 --> 01:29:59.079 the best that we've ever seen. Shout out Eric Dick 1482 01:29:59.159 --> 01:29:59.920 for being awesome. 1483 01:30:00.359 --> 01:30:04.479 Yes, right now a loud in North Carolina are three 1484 01:30:04.520 --> 01:30:08.760 and four. And then you have the Peloton. You've got Pittsburgh, 1485 01:30:08.800 --> 01:30:11.319 Detroit City. What do you have any latest on the 1486 01:30:11.720 --> 01:30:15.359 stadium relocation build? They want to tear up the hospital. 1487 01:30:15.399 --> 01:30:17.119 What's the latest there? Do you have anything? 1488 01:30:17.359 --> 01:30:21.720 Yeah, last we heard they actually, if I'm remembering my 1489 01:30:21.840 --> 01:30:27.399 number correctly, they came in fifteen million over budget. Well, 1490 01:30:28.079 --> 01:30:33.359 however they have investment for it. They're already getting sponsorships 1491 01:30:33.399 --> 01:30:36.079 to build up that money. So it seems like all 1492 01:30:36.119 --> 01:30:38.720 systems go on that front. It feels like that is 1493 01:30:39.720 --> 01:30:42.800 of all the possible study adventures, that's the one I'm 1494 01:30:42.840 --> 01:30:45.560 willing to put money on that has not already put 1495 01:30:45.600 --> 01:30:48.239 a shovel and ground and wheels. 1496 01:30:48.319 --> 01:30:50.560 Kind of came off a little bit with Detroit City, 1497 01:30:50.600 --> 01:30:53.159 I think was Trevor James was released from his duties 1498 01:30:53.239 --> 01:30:54.560 up top if I remember correctly. 1499 01:30:55.039 --> 01:30:59.079 Yeah, there's a lot of speculation around that. But his 1500 01:30:59.239 --> 01:31:02.720 wife is still with the club. I believe he's the 1501 01:31:02.840 --> 01:31:07.359 vice Sports Video if I remember correctly, and she was 1502 01:31:07.840 --> 01:31:10.680 reportedly not released from the club, So it feels like 1503 01:31:11.279 --> 01:31:13.600 it was a bit of a mutual decision and maybe 1504 01:31:13.640 --> 01:31:16.000 not because they weren't doing well. There's a lot of 1505 01:31:16.039 --> 01:31:18.319 speculation that can go in there, but clearly there's no 1506 01:31:18.720 --> 01:31:23.800 bad blood between those. I do think though that with 1507 01:31:23.960 --> 01:31:28.760 a new director of football coming in Danny Dickyo might 1508 01:31:28.800 --> 01:31:31.239 have the hottest seat in the USL across any level 1509 01:31:31.880 --> 01:31:35.680 because their standing say one thing. But you have to 1510 01:31:35.720 --> 01:31:39.159 watch the Detroit City match. They are pretty handsomely the 1511 01:31:39.239 --> 01:31:42.399 worst team in the USL Championship right now. Wow, they 1512 01:31:42.560 --> 01:31:46.720 are horrific. They got found out. Everybody figured out that 1513 01:31:46.800 --> 01:31:49.279 when they play as direct as they do, if you 1514 01:31:49.319 --> 01:31:53.319 can stop that, they had no other options. And that's 1515 01:31:53.359 --> 01:31:55.319 not to say that they can't figure it out. They 1516 01:31:55.319 --> 01:31:58.319 have an extremely talented team and they can get themselves right. 1517 01:31:58.720 --> 01:32:02.159 But if you're looking on form, it's it's pretty grim 1518 01:32:02.640 --> 01:32:04.800 and it does not look like it's getting any better. 1519 01:32:05.319 --> 01:32:09.279 That if Vickyo does not really sort this out in 1520 01:32:09.359 --> 01:32:12.399 the next few weeks. I would not be shocked if 1521 01:32:12.880 --> 01:32:15.119 he's let go and they let the new director of 1522 01:32:15.119 --> 01:32:19.239 football figure out his next manager. 1523 01:32:20.239 --> 01:32:23.760 One win in five, four points in their last five 1524 01:32:23.880 --> 01:32:26.880 three losses and right now they're in six. And we 1525 01:32:27.000 --> 01:32:30.560 mentioned that Peloton that's there not quite as crazy as 1526 01:32:30.680 --> 01:32:34.000 the West Pittsburgh at fifth at twenty two, Detroit City 1527 01:32:34.000 --> 01:32:37.640 at twenty one, having lost three of five, Indy eleven 1528 01:32:37.680 --> 01:32:40.439 at twenty and they had a two game win streak 1529 01:32:40.439 --> 01:32:45.600 snap last time out, Legion at eighteen, and they have 1530 01:32:45.880 --> 01:32:49.279 better goal difference. They have one less win than the MIAMIFC. 1531 01:32:49.560 --> 01:32:52.600 But you're hit. But right now it's marks in each 1532 01:32:52.640 --> 01:32:55.319 of the three columns. But Birmingham has only won once 1533 01:32:55.439 --> 01:33:00.000 in five. The MIAMIFC has not one in four. Rode 1534 01:33:00.039 --> 01:33:04.319 Island with El Klamaco in the back pocket, they haven't 1535 01:33:04.359 --> 01:33:08.760 won in uh, they haven't won in four. Rowdies and 1536 01:33:08.840 --> 01:33:11.720 you want to talk a stadium situation and ownership and 1537 01:33:11.760 --> 01:33:16.079 everything with Tampa Bay, I mean the rowdies. What's your 1538 01:33:16.199 --> 01:33:18.720 vibe on the rowdies because it's the same ownership group 1539 01:33:18.760 --> 01:33:22.159 that owns the Rays. And we know that Stuart Sternberg 1540 01:33:22.239 --> 01:33:24.520 has put the Rays up for sale. We don't know 1541 01:33:24.520 --> 01:33:26.560 what's going on with the future of the Rays. Are 1542 01:33:26.560 --> 01:33:29.000 they Tampa, are they Saint Pete? Are they not going 1543 01:33:29.039 --> 01:33:30.840 to be Are they going back in the old Sun? 1544 01:33:30.920 --> 01:33:32.960 Are they going back in the dome? What's going on? 1545 01:33:33.000 --> 01:33:34.079 What's up with the Rowdies? 1546 01:33:34.520 --> 01:33:37.479 Okay, so first off, they get Don Cashiadow as their 1547 01:33:37.520 --> 01:33:40.119 head coach. I mean, yeah, that is a big pool 1548 01:33:40.760 --> 01:33:42.560 and that shows I think a lot of people that 1549 01:33:42.600 --> 01:33:46.319 they don't need to worry about investment. The investment is 1550 01:33:46.399 --> 01:33:50.239 still there now Sternberg has pulled out, he is no 1551 01:33:50.319 --> 01:33:53.279 longer beings. They've put the team up for sale with 1552 01:33:53.520 --> 01:33:57.199 the Rays. The Rowdies are also for sale. The Rays 1553 01:33:57.239 --> 01:34:01.760 and Rowdies are a combined venture. They are attached. So 1554 01:34:02.119 --> 01:34:05.640 if you buy the Rays, you buy the Rowties. So 1555 01:34:06.119 --> 01:34:09.399 that's going to lead to some interesting things. Granted, when 1556 01:34:09.399 --> 01:34:11.720 you're looking at was it cost to run the Rays 1557 01:34:11.840 --> 01:34:13.600 versus what it costs to run the Rowties, that's a 1558 01:34:13.840 --> 01:34:17.720 drop in the bucket. It's absolutely nothing. There was that 1559 01:34:17.800 --> 01:34:22.199 conversation of will they move out of Owling That felt 1560 01:34:22.199 --> 01:34:27.840 like a lot of political posturing between Sernberg and Saint Pete. 1561 01:34:29.680 --> 01:34:31.960 We want to keep you around, but if you're not 1562 01:34:32.079 --> 01:34:34.199 being if you're not too sure, we're going to tear 1563 01:34:34.239 --> 01:34:36.239 down owl laying and build our own thing because we 1564 01:34:36.319 --> 01:34:38.439 can do that. It felt like a lot of posturing 1565 01:34:38.479 --> 01:34:40.439 to me. That's kind of what I was hearing as well. 1566 01:34:42.880 --> 01:34:45.479 For me, I don't know what ends up happening. Because 1567 01:34:45.560 --> 01:34:49.680 the Tampa Bay Sun location and future USL headquarters location 1568 01:34:50.399 --> 01:34:54.720 is being eyed as the future Rays stadium, that pot 1569 01:34:54.720 --> 01:34:57.600 of land is being eyed as the same thing. And 1570 01:34:57.800 --> 01:35:03.800 while the Sun and Route have shared ownership, Sternberg is 1571 01:35:03.800 --> 01:35:07.600 not the shared owner, so that is a completely different venture. 1572 01:35:07.720 --> 01:35:09.039 So a lot of people just as saying, well the 1573 01:35:09.079 --> 01:35:11.720 routies will just move in with the sign and everything 1574 01:35:11.720 --> 01:35:16.920 we find. Maybe not. So I don't know what's gonna 1575 01:35:16.960 --> 01:35:20.199 happen there. I don't know if the USL has purchased 1576 01:35:20.319 --> 01:35:23.600 the land, because if they have and they sell it 1577 01:35:23.640 --> 01:35:26.159 to the Rays, they're gonna come out big profit, build 1578 01:35:26.199 --> 01:35:29.960 somewhere else. But not too sure how that's going to look. 1579 01:35:30.560 --> 01:35:33.680 If there's about to be a legal battle between MLB 1580 01:35:34.239 --> 01:35:36.399 and USL. I think we know who the winter's going 1581 01:35:36.479 --> 01:35:38.920 to be, so that's going to get a little bit 1582 01:35:39.000 --> 01:35:42.239 messy on a little bit later down the road, depending 1583 01:35:42.279 --> 01:35:44.920 on what happens with what the Rays want to do. 1584 01:35:45.960 --> 01:35:50.039 Jaegermeister. Greenville advanced out of Group six, loud and out 1585 01:35:50.039 --> 01:35:53.680 of group five, Hartford's a wild card, Rhode Island is 1586 01:35:53.800 --> 01:35:57.760 in advanced out of group four, Birmingham's a wildcard out 1587 01:35:57.800 --> 01:36:01.279 of group three. In the eleven advanced, UH, San Antonio 1588 01:36:01.319 --> 01:36:03.840 out of group two, Sacramento out of group one. What 1589 01:36:03.880 --> 01:36:05.720 are your takeaways out Yaegermeister to date? 1590 01:36:07.439 --> 01:36:10.840 First off, it may be the best Cup competition ever existed. 1591 01:36:13.000 --> 01:36:21.119 I love the yeger Mester Cups so much. But there's 1592 01:36:21.159 --> 01:36:23.840 a lot of things that go on here. There's gonna 1593 01:36:23.840 --> 01:36:26.359 be a couple of logistic things that happen, so kind 1594 01:36:26.359 --> 01:36:28.920 of keep your eye on some logistics. Dates are dropping 1595 01:36:29.039 --> 01:36:32.239 in like fifteen minutes. Dates and times dropped very soon 1596 01:36:34.239 --> 01:36:37.000 for me. I think there's a couple of things to 1597 01:36:37.079 --> 01:36:40.800 keep your eye on. And congrats to Greenville. They're going 1598 01:36:40.880 --> 01:36:44.479 They were the only flagship League One to go through. 1599 01:36:44.520 --> 01:36:47.159 They are carrying the flag and I don't think they 1600 01:36:47.159 --> 01:36:49.760 could have gotten a better draw than Indy. I think 1601 01:36:49.800 --> 01:36:50.920 they can beat the eleven. 1602 01:36:51.600 --> 01:36:51.720 UH. 1603 01:36:51.800 --> 01:36:54.399 The eleven have been really good at shutting up shop 1604 01:36:54.479 --> 01:36:58.239 and we're just going to kind of be little defensive, 1605 01:36:59.079 --> 01:37:01.439 so is Greenville. So India is going to have the 1606 01:37:01.479 --> 01:37:05.720 onus on them to try to go forward. I think 1607 01:37:05.760 --> 01:37:09.199 Greenville can sustain that pressure, and that's not Indy's game. 1608 01:37:09.479 --> 01:37:12.159 I think this is a perfect situation for the Triumph 1609 01:37:12.239 --> 01:37:16.880 to win. I borderline think they're going to when you're 1610 01:37:16.920 --> 01:37:19.319 looking at Rhode Island Legion, who are going to be 1611 01:37:19.319 --> 01:37:22.439 facing up Rhode Island doesn't look great. Legion are on 1612 01:37:22.479 --> 01:37:24.760 the up and up right now. It's going to be 1613 01:37:24.760 --> 01:37:26.840 a home game for Rhode Island, which is great for them, 1614 01:37:27.680 --> 01:37:32.079 but home has not been friendly confines for Rhode Island FC. 1615 01:37:32.920 --> 01:37:35.319 And this is a Legion team that's never beaten Rhode Island. 1616 01:37:35.359 --> 01:37:38.119 This is a team that's highly motivated to finally get 1617 01:37:38.159 --> 01:37:40.199 their first win against their former coach and a lot 1618 01:37:40.199 --> 01:37:42.880 of their former friends. I'm trying to think of other 1619 01:37:42.920 --> 01:37:45.000 matchups off the top of my head. When you look 1620 01:37:45.039 --> 01:37:47.640 out West and you look at all those different kinds 1621 01:37:47.640 --> 01:37:51.880 of matchups that are happening out there, I don't see 1622 01:37:51.880 --> 01:37:54.079 any way that San Antonio doesn't just blow all the 1623 01:37:54.079 --> 01:37:57.880 way through. At this point, they are so good right 1624 01:37:57.920 --> 01:38:01.399 now that San Antonio puts their the forward, I think 1625 01:38:01.439 --> 01:38:04.560 that they are going to win almost every match. Does 1626 01:38:04.600 --> 01:38:08.279 it involve my legion losing to Rhode Island, Yes, But 1627 01:38:08.439 --> 01:38:11.399 judging from what I'm seeing from this kind of lineup, 1628 01:38:12.119 --> 01:38:15.920 I am so heavily rooting for Rhode Island versus heart 1629 01:38:15.960 --> 01:38:26.239 Ford Part four Okay, because Islands it, I need it. 1630 01:38:26.880 --> 01:38:32.119 You know what that means? League one, it's stuff on 1631 01:38:32.239 --> 01:38:34.920 the field and off. Spokane's kind of come back to 1632 01:38:34.960 --> 01:38:36.840 the pack a little bit. It's turned into a big 1633 01:38:36.880 --> 01:38:40.159 gaggle up at the top, Spokane Red Wolves, Avy Alta 1634 01:38:40.199 --> 01:38:43.159 and Charlotte Independence. Kayler Hodges at Kaylor Hodges at the 1635 01:38:43.239 --> 01:38:46.239 USL Show, hanging out in his truck so he doesn't 1636 01:38:46.279 --> 01:38:50.399 get in trouble in his new gig one. Knox Naples, Texoma, 1637 01:38:50.479 --> 01:38:53.960 pe Hop Greenville. And then you have the second the 1638 01:38:54.079 --> 01:38:57.119 Chase group that's south of the playoff bar. But there's 1639 01:38:57.119 --> 01:38:59.880 been news off the field since we caught up with 1640 01:39:00.119 --> 01:39:03.520 you last you. Gene is now in the mix and 1641 01:39:03.560 --> 01:39:07.560 the Cosmos are back in the mix and they're playing 1642 01:39:07.720 --> 01:39:11.000 in New Jersey apparently. So you can take on the 1643 01:39:11.000 --> 01:39:12.640 field off the field wherever you want to go. 1644 01:39:16.319 --> 01:39:20.279 Okay, they are going to be twenty twenty six. Branding's 1645 01:39:20.319 --> 01:39:23.960 coming later this year, got their primary investor. They are official, 1646 01:39:24.039 --> 01:39:26.239 it's happening. Shout out to our friend alv Ashton who 1647 01:39:26.239 --> 01:39:31.880 did the digging on that with Oh gosh, while was 1648 01:39:31.920 --> 01:39:36.199 the other off the field, Oh the Cosmos. Yeah, this 1649 01:39:36.319 --> 01:39:38.600 is not the first time that the Cosmos have played 1650 01:39:38.640 --> 01:39:42.399 in New Jersey, so this is not the first time 1651 01:39:42.399 --> 01:39:45.800 that they have not been to New York Cosmos. Right, 1652 01:39:47.760 --> 01:39:52.720 if you are way too deep into the lower league sphere, 1653 01:39:53.159 --> 01:39:58.960 you know about the matchmaker Scott Matchmaker, where he control 1654 01:39:59.720 --> 01:40:02.600 of the Cosmos and he's getting to a legal battle 1655 01:40:02.680 --> 01:40:06.640 with the It's it's a bunch of garbage. And honestly, 1656 01:40:06.680 --> 01:40:09.319 I'm kind of excited to see if it goes to 1657 01:40:10.279 --> 01:40:12.359 court because it would be funny. 1658 01:40:13.960 --> 01:40:16.600 A lot of discovery phase. Brother, that's how it always goes. 1659 01:40:17.000 --> 01:40:21.600 Yes, And so for me, I think that the Cosmos 1660 01:40:21.640 --> 01:40:26.920 brand coming back is fine. And they have people like 1661 01:40:26.960 --> 01:40:29.640 they're part of their front office. Were the former owners 1662 01:40:29.640 --> 01:40:33.119 of the Cosmos. They have former nasf in a sl 1663 01:40:33.239 --> 01:40:37.359 people in their front office. So it feels like it's 1664 01:40:37.359 --> 01:40:40.680 going to be fairly true to what the Cosmos were 1665 01:40:40.720 --> 01:40:45.119 in their second iteration basically. But in the end, if 1666 01:40:45.159 --> 01:40:48.159 it ends up just being purely cosmetic and they're just 1667 01:40:48.239 --> 01:40:51.680 they're just kind of costplaying as the does the Cosmos, 1668 01:40:52.159 --> 01:40:55.640 that's fine because it's it's an old brand that everybody knows, 1669 01:40:55.640 --> 01:40:59.600 that everybody loves or absolutely despises, depending on who you are, 1670 01:40:59.640 --> 01:41:05.239 and that's fun. Ye for me you mentioned Sto Cane. 1671 01:41:05.640 --> 01:41:10.239 I think the interesting part was they beat Westchester and 1672 01:41:10.279 --> 01:41:14.239 then they had to force it, and so they take 1673 01:41:14.239 --> 01:41:16.279 a three to two win and it's now a three 1674 01:41:16.279 --> 01:41:18.640 to no loss, which means they had two straight three 1675 01:41:18.720 --> 01:41:22.119 no losses despite scoring three goals in one match. It's crazy, 1676 01:41:23.239 --> 01:41:26.159 but it brought Westchester up from the bottom, gave them 1677 01:41:26.199 --> 01:41:29.520 a plus three goal difference so that they didn't earn, 1678 01:41:30.399 --> 01:41:33.680 and it brings Spokane down a little bit. Do I 1679 01:41:33.720 --> 01:41:35.159 think it's going to be a game changer. Do I 1680 01:41:35.159 --> 01:41:37.439 think that Westchester is going to make the playoffs off 1681 01:41:37.479 --> 01:41:39.960 of this? No? Do I think that Spokane is going 1682 01:41:39.960 --> 01:41:44.319 to end up being maybe one of the lower than 1683 01:41:44.359 --> 01:41:47.520 the top two teams in the in the League one. No, 1684 01:41:47.600 --> 01:41:49.880 I think they're going to finish top two. But it 1685 01:41:49.920 --> 01:41:52.800 does just for the play or for the teams below Westchester, 1686 01:41:53.479 --> 01:41:58.840 it made their life even harder, and it's a what 1687 01:41:59.079 --> 01:42:02.279 ends up happening. What ended up happening here was they 1688 01:42:02.319 --> 01:42:06.600 had Javier Hill, not Louis Hill, the other heel. He 1689 01:42:07.039 --> 01:42:10.840 was put onto the bench and there was a clerical 1690 01:42:10.960 --> 01:42:14.479 error essentially where they added him into the match day 1691 01:42:14.520 --> 01:42:19.159 eleven or match day squad too late. He was sitting 1692 01:42:19.279 --> 01:42:21.840 after the fifty five minute mark and they did the 1693 01:42:22.159 --> 01:42:26.600 very notorious Upsie Daisy clause and said the fat him 1694 01:42:27.640 --> 01:42:32.000 opta in the league website put hit heel in because 1695 01:42:32.520 --> 01:42:36.359 they put him into the squad. They didn't. The league 1696 01:42:36.359 --> 01:42:38.479 website doesn't really discern if he was added in on 1697 01:42:38.560 --> 01:42:40.920 time because you can make changes if there's an injury, 1698 01:42:40.920 --> 01:42:43.680 so they just kind of assumed. But that didn't happen. 1699 01:42:44.119 --> 01:42:48.079 He wasn't added into the roster and they played him. 1700 01:42:48.199 --> 01:42:50.880 He got a key pass that led to a goal, 1701 01:42:51.520 --> 01:42:53.680 and then about ten minutes later he gets pulled off 1702 01:42:53.680 --> 01:42:56.279 the field because the other team realized he wasn't on 1703 01:42:56.319 --> 01:43:00.640 the roster. So it turned into a big chaos. Spokane 1704 01:43:00.720 --> 01:43:04.720 loses three points off of a really simple mistake. And 1705 01:43:04.800 --> 01:43:06.960 if I was the teams below if I'm like for 1706 01:43:07.279 --> 01:43:10.840 mass in you and Omaha, I'm really mad at Spokane 1707 01:43:11.119 --> 01:43:14.159 because you made my life so much harder to try 1708 01:43:14.199 --> 01:43:15.319 to get back into this thing. 1709 01:43:16.319 --> 01:43:18.880 All right, one last question, so you don't get any 1710 01:43:18.880 --> 01:43:22.000 more trouble. USL two's got a title game. Ballard's in it. 1711 01:43:22.079 --> 01:43:25.560 Oh no, what a shock. And it's gonna be Vermont 1712 01:43:25.640 --> 01:43:29.560 Green and Ballard this one. Really. I mean, if you 1713 01:43:29.760 --> 01:43:32.119 didn't have your field trip already planned where you'd gone 1714 01:43:32.159 --> 01:43:34.079 to go seep hop, my guess is you'd probably be 1715 01:43:34.159 --> 01:43:36.079 up there at Vermont Green taking in this one. 1716 01:43:36.520 --> 01:43:40.640 I whoever hosted it, We've seen Ballard host two years 1717 01:43:40.680 --> 01:43:45.039 ago and it was stunning on what their crowd was like. 1718 01:43:45.560 --> 01:43:48.880 Virtue Field up in Vermont has been a mad house 1719 01:43:49.039 --> 01:43:55.319 all year long. If you aren't watching this match because 1720 01:43:55.439 --> 01:43:58.239 I don't want to watch USL lead two. First off, 1721 01:43:58.319 --> 01:44:00.600 I promise you your favorite uf OL club that is 1722 01:44:00.640 --> 01:44:02.720 going to sign a player from one of those two teams. 1723 01:44:03.079 --> 01:44:08.479 I promise you they are so talented and you're going 1724 01:44:08.560 --> 01:44:13.239 to be stunned at the crowd and how involved they are, 1725 01:44:13.399 --> 01:44:16.159 how intense it is, and it's gonna be a lot 1726 01:44:16.159 --> 01:44:17.920 of people that say well to send Vermont up to 1727 01:44:18.119 --> 01:44:21.000 League one. Vermont has this very and I'm trying to 1728 01:44:21.000 --> 01:44:24.760 remember the rivallere. Basically they don't they are anti carbon emissions. 1729 01:44:25.159 --> 01:44:28.640 Yes, so the zero zero footprint, I think is the 1730 01:44:28.800 --> 01:44:29.640 zero footprints. 1731 01:44:29.640 --> 01:44:34.079 There are things so they can't fly across country because 1732 01:44:34.079 --> 01:44:38.760 it will leave carbon footprint. They are not in League one. 1733 01:44:38.840 --> 01:44:41.079 It's not because the league doesn't want them. It's not 1734 01:44:41.239 --> 01:44:44.199 because they haven't earned it. It's because they are sticking 1735 01:44:44.239 --> 01:44:49.800 to their laurels. But I I mean, you look at 1736 01:44:49.800 --> 01:44:53.600 this Vermont team and they going to get their goal, 1737 01:44:53.680 --> 01:44:55.960 their golper and I'm blanket on his name. Mister Mont 1738 01:44:56.880 --> 01:45:01.680 is good and he can stop it anything. But Ballard 1739 01:45:01.760 --> 01:45:04.000 plays a high flying offense that when they were in 1740 01:45:04.039 --> 01:45:07.800 that Pacific Northwest Division, they were the class and they 1741 01:45:07.800 --> 01:45:10.439 had good teams up there, and they were. 1742 01:45:10.439 --> 01:45:12.720 Talking about talking about n Are you talking about Nicholas 1743 01:45:12.720 --> 01:45:16.039 Hairsek Yes, that's okay, and. 1744 01:45:17.239 --> 01:45:20.680 They just I think that this is going to go 1745 01:45:20.720 --> 01:45:25.039 to penalties. I think these two teams are so evenly matched, 1746 01:45:25.560 --> 01:45:28.560 and I promise you you need to watch it. You 1747 01:45:28.840 --> 01:45:32.239 need to watch this match. It is these are two 1748 01:45:32.359 --> 01:45:36.600 class teams that could be competing about half of the 1749 01:45:36.600 --> 01:45:39.680 players on each team are going to be professionals, and 1750 01:45:39.760 --> 01:45:43.479 it's a beyond professional atmosphere. It's gonna be incredible. 1751 01:45:44.760 --> 01:45:46.560 And on that note, do you need a note to 1752 01:45:46.600 --> 01:45:47.560 get back in class? 1753 01:45:48.720 --> 01:45:50.359 No, I can just say I'm sorry, and I think 1754 01:45:50.399 --> 01:45:52.159 I'll be okay, Okay. 1755 01:45:51.960 --> 01:45:55.199 All right, So next month when we catch up with you, 1756 01:45:55.239 --> 01:45:56.840 we'll figure out how to catch up with you and 1757 01:45:56.880 --> 01:45:58.800 not to get you into any kind of trouble during 1758 01:45:58.800 --> 01:46:02.279 the school year. Okay, all right, appreciate you having me always. 1759 01:46:02.319 --> 01:46:04.800 It's always great to have Kaylor Hodges from at the 1760 01:46:04.960 --> 01:46:09.319 USL Show, at the USL Show, at Kaylor Hodges at 1761 01:46:09.319 --> 01:46:13.159 his new gig in his truck, making sure that he 1762 01:46:13.199 --> 01:46:16.399 could break down everything going on in USL. And that 1763 01:46:16.520 --> 01:46:18.840 was a good tour. But yeah, if you've got the chance, 1764 01:46:19.279 --> 01:46:22.119 watch the USL League two title game this weekend with 1765 01:46:22.479 --> 01:46:30.359 Vermont Green and with Ballard and from environment alone, you 1766 01:46:30.399 --> 01:46:33.079 will not be sorry. You will not be sorry at 1767 01:46:33.079 --> 01:46:38.399 all when it comes to seeing these environments and how 1768 01:46:38.439 --> 01:46:44.159 they and how they trot out. But yeah, Vermont Green 1769 01:46:44.239 --> 01:46:48.720 knocked off Dothan United in penalties, four thousand fans in Burlington. 1770 01:46:50.479 --> 01:46:55.680 They're going to play Ballard Saturday at seven o'clock. Tickets 1771 01:46:55.920 --> 01:46:59.439 went on sale about forty five minutes ago. They're also 1772 01:46:59.479 --> 01:47:02.720 included in your season ticket, by the way, And yes, 1773 01:47:02.960 --> 01:47:05.199 Vermont Green is probably going to end up with a 1774 01:47:05.279 --> 01:47:09.720 boatload of our money getting their gear, because if you 1775 01:47:09.800 --> 01:47:13.039 haven't been Vermont greenfc dot com, go look at their 1776 01:47:13.079 --> 01:47:15.800 gear and good luck getting out of there with your wallet. 1777 01:47:16.600 --> 01:47:21.439 So Vermont Green Ballard USL League two Saturday, seven o'clock, 1778 01:47:21.560 --> 01:47:24.319 Virtue feel find a way to watch it if you 1779 01:47:24.319 --> 01:47:28.279 don't have anything else going on. Eastern Conference champs knocking 1780 01:47:28.319 --> 01:47:31.720 off lions Bridge beat Dothan and they're in the title 1781 01:47:31.760 --> 01:47:35.439 game and Ballard once again, they're Kings of the West. 1782 01:47:35.520 --> 01:47:38.399 They're gonna make their way. But I did not register 1783 01:47:38.560 --> 01:47:45.119 with me that they can't promote, they can't promote themselves 1784 01:47:45.199 --> 01:47:47.439 or go to USL League one because of the travel, 1785 01:47:48.319 --> 01:47:53.119 because of their zero carbon footprint. That didn't register with 1786 01:47:53.319 --> 01:47:57.760 me until until Taylor was talking about it. Because I 1787 01:47:57.840 --> 01:48:00.680 think about it, I mean, you could play and that'd 1788 01:48:00.680 --> 01:48:12.119 be a great rivalry. Spokane, Chattanooga, av Alta, Charlotte One, Knox, Naples, Texoma, Pea, 1789 01:48:12.199 --> 01:48:18.119 hop Greenville, Richmond, Ford, Madison, South Georgia west Chester Union. Omha. 1790 01:48:18.159 --> 01:48:22.479 I mean you could barnstorm your way through it. And 1791 01:48:22.720 --> 01:48:25.279 I mean you could do like maybe the first if 1792 01:48:25.319 --> 01:48:27.520 you spent the first like the cold we if you 1793 01:48:27.560 --> 01:48:32.239 did a snowbird schedule, if you did a snowbird schedule, 1794 01:48:32.399 --> 01:48:34.279 and then for the rest of the season, like you 1795 01:48:34.319 --> 01:48:36.159 spent your first half of the year on the road, 1796 01:48:36.560 --> 01:48:39.840 and then you just barnstormed your way through and survived 1797 01:48:39.880 --> 01:48:42.000 it and went home and spent the second half of 1798 01:48:42.000 --> 01:48:44.560 the schedule at home. Maybe you could do it that way. 1799 01:48:47.439 --> 01:48:48.760 That'd be the only way that I could I mean, 1800 01:48:48.800 --> 01:48:51.720 it'd be kind of unique, and I'd love to see 1801 01:48:51.720 --> 01:48:55.039 that documented in some way. That'd be the only way 1802 01:48:55.079 --> 01:48:57.760 I could think of that you would do it. You 1803 01:48:57.800 --> 01:49:00.000 saved the pea hop match for you know, you could 1804 01:49:00.119 --> 01:49:01.920 do pe hop at home. You could do west Chester 1805 01:49:02.000 --> 01:49:08.880 at home. But yeah, if you went that may ye see, 1806 01:49:08.880 --> 01:49:12.399 you could do west Chester. But then outside of Westchester 1807 01:49:12.520 --> 01:49:15.880 and Portland, Hearts of Pine, everything else that have to 1808 01:49:15.920 --> 01:49:19.880 be on the road. And if you just barnstormed your 1809 01:49:19.920 --> 01:49:26.920 way through like a six week deal, or you know, 1810 01:49:26.960 --> 01:49:29.359 if you did it like in nine weeks. You spent 1811 01:49:29.439 --> 01:49:31.199 the first two months of the season, Like if you 1812 01:49:31.199 --> 01:49:33.880 did March in April or February and March or whenever, 1813 01:49:33.880 --> 01:49:35.640 if you did that on the road then came back, 1814 01:49:36.760 --> 01:49:38.000 that'd be the only way to do it. But I'd 1815 01:49:38.039 --> 01:49:43.199 forgotten about the zero footprint thing. So that's that's very 1816 01:49:43.680 --> 01:49:46.319 that's wild and cool. But yeah, if you find a way, 1817 01:49:47.640 --> 01:49:52.000 you find a way to watch the U League two final, 1818 01:49:52.039 --> 01:49:53.800 go watch a League two final. It's gonna be a 1819 01:49:53.800 --> 01:49:57.479 hell of an environment. Alex, back to our Messy and 1820 01:49:57.479 --> 01:50:00.560 Friends discussion. Got the impression that from Garber that Miami 1821 01:50:00.600 --> 01:50:02.159 didn't tell the league they weren't going to even make 1822 01:50:02.199 --> 01:50:04.000 the trip. That's the case, and I bet the league 1823 01:50:04.000 --> 01:50:08.840 would have worked it. Yes, I mean seriously, Alex, to 1824 01:50:08.560 --> 01:50:13.279 to your point and thank you for subscribing. By the 1825 01:50:13.279 --> 01:50:18.399 way legit. I mean, think about it. But all you've 1826 01:50:18.439 --> 01:50:19.800 got to do is put up that front that we 1827 01:50:19.840 --> 01:50:24.560 were talking about. Hey, you know, he's kind of dinged 1828 01:50:26.720 --> 01:50:30.920 and if you were to ask Niko Estevez, you know, 1829 01:50:31.000 --> 01:50:34.840 can you not play him? Can you not play him? 1830 01:50:34.840 --> 01:50:36.520 In Geordie Alba. I mean, they can be there, they 1831 01:50:36.520 --> 01:50:38.640 can do all the you know, maybe they could do 1832 01:50:38.680 --> 01:50:41.479 a part of the skills competition or something, but they 1833 01:50:41.479 --> 01:50:43.319 can't be in the match just because we need to 1834 01:50:43.359 --> 01:50:46.279 keep an eye on him because of their injury. We're 1835 01:50:46.319 --> 01:50:49.439 monitoring their injury. I mean literally have the physio there 1836 01:50:49.479 --> 01:50:52.000 the entire time, just kind of with the with the 1837 01:50:53.000 --> 01:50:58.199 with the muscle gun like Christiano Ronaldo has probably in 1838 01:50:58.239 --> 01:51:01.880 his back pocket someplace. Literally just have the physio hovering 1839 01:51:01.920 --> 01:51:06.520 over the two of them the entire time. Set the 1840 01:51:06.560 --> 01:51:10.640 steps early so you don't end up with the fueror 1841 01:51:10.720 --> 01:51:17.239 late and people talking out of school. It's not hard, 1842 01:51:18.800 --> 01:51:22.760 just saying come on people morning Logville, glad you're here. 1843 01:51:24.840 --> 01:51:28.039 So Kayler Hodges tonight the USL Show at the USL 1844 01:51:28.079 --> 01:51:31.039 Show tonight.

So it's somewhat of a limited thing, but 1861 01:52:30.600 --> 01:52:33.359 keep an eye on everything Leagues Cup, League Cup, Leagues 1862 01:52:33.359 --> 01:52:37.199 Cup and League's Cup. Now all the gossip, rumored, innuendo, 1863 01:52:37.279 --> 01:52:38.600 what to watch, where to watch it, and how to 1864 01:52:38.640 --> 01:52:40.279 watch it. Since we've done that last part, let's do 1865 01:52:40.319 --> 01:52:43.920 the first part. Checking in with our friend Ben Jacobs, 1866 01:52:43.960 --> 01:52:46.880 who's been very, very busy. Oh, by the way, this 1867 01:52:46.960 --> 01:52:48.600 was the other thing that was bugging the hell out 1868 01:52:48.600 --> 01:52:54.960 of me. Laurel Fayler can confirm that Cincinnati is going 1869 01:52:54.960 --> 01:52:58.279 to be trading Tumas Mueller's discovery rights to Vancouver for 1870 01:52:58.319 --> 01:53:02.399 four hundred thousand dollars in gam not done yet, Path 1871 01:53:02.520 --> 01:53:05.079 is paid for Mueller to sign with the white Caps, 1872 01:53:05.680 --> 01:53:10.560 and so gam the the Dibbs deal for Thomas Mueller 1873 01:53:10.680 --> 01:53:13.720 is going to be four hundred thousand bucks. That's the 1874 01:53:13.760 --> 01:53:15.920 other thing that bugs me is all this DIBs deals. 1875 01:53:16.680 --> 01:53:19.760 It's like, well, you know, Christiano Ronaldo Dibbs, I've got 1876 01:53:19.800 --> 01:53:21.960 his discovery rights. It wor it's it there. You bounce 1877 01:53:22.000 --> 01:53:27.279 around Jude Bellingham killing him bappe Thomas Mueller. When do 1878 01:53:27.319 --> 01:53:29.720 you set your DIBs lists anyway? Is that something that 1879 01:53:29.760 --> 01:53:31.119 you get to do at the beginning of the year, 1880 01:53:32.279 --> 01:53:34.319 look at some thirty somethings and sit there and go 1881 01:53:34.439 --> 01:53:40.399 dibbs ugh, discovery rights. That's the other thing that bugs me. 1882 01:53:41.279 --> 01:53:44.720 But yeahs Laurel Failer confirming and Tommy Scoops FC Cincinnati 1883 01:53:44.720 --> 01:53:47.680 trading Thomas Mueller's discovery rights to Vancouver four hundred thousand 1884 01:53:47.720 --> 01:53:52.119 dollars in in am and so that looks like they're 1885 01:53:52.159 --> 01:53:55.800 that much closer to Thomas Mueller joining Vancouver this season. 1886 01:53:55.840 --> 01:53:59.199 Once again, much like Rodrigo de Paul, it would be 1887 01:53:59.800 --> 01:54:04.039 a TAM deal this year. He's a TAM player this 1888 01:54:04.119 --> 01:54:05.960 year and then he turns into a DP next year. 1889 01:54:07.720 --> 01:54:12.359 So keep an Eye on that since he getting up 1890 01:54:12.960 --> 01:54:15.439 to around four hundred thousand according to Tommy Scoops for 1891 01:54:15.520 --> 01:54:19.000 rights final steps in formality, so Ben Jacobs, Tom Bogert, 1892 01:54:19.199 --> 01:54:22.520 Laurel Failer all confirming from a bunch of different directions. 1893 01:54:22.520 --> 01:54:25.880 It looks like Thomas Mueller signing and agreeing in principle, 1894 01:54:26.359 --> 01:54:29.479 finalizing the Mueller signing and agreeing in principle for the rights. 1895 01:54:29.920 --> 01:54:33.720 So it looks like Thomas Mueller is heading to Vancouver 1896 01:54:33.840 --> 01:54:37.239 to be a part of the white Caps. Ben Jacobs 1897 01:54:37.319 --> 01:54:40.680 on a couple of different things this morning, mentioning the 1898 01:54:41.000 --> 01:54:45.399 Thomas Mueller deal. You've got the parade for the Lionesses 1899 01:54:45.640 --> 01:54:49.399 going on. It's huge, It's awesome. Manchester United narrowing their 1900 01:54:49.399 --> 01:54:52.680 striker search down to Ali Watkins and Benjamin Seshko. Joel 1901 01:54:52.720 --> 01:54:57.479 Felix has done the scarf hold up and the jersey wearing. 1902 01:54:57.520 --> 01:55:01.840 He is nal Ad al Nasser reminder once again. Alzas, 1903 01:55:02.359 --> 01:55:11.359 Ben Jacobs, Alex Crook, Tom Bogert, and Sky Sports News 1904 01:55:11.399 --> 01:55:15.640 all confirming or all leaning into the notion that Steven 1905 01:55:15.640 --> 01:55:19.199 Alzate will be heading to Mark McAdam. Chris saidol Sky 1906 01:55:19.199 --> 01:55:23.640 Sports News that Steven Alzatte joining Atlanta United from Whole 1907 01:55:23.680 --> 01:55:27.399 City one point five million fee plus three hundred and 1908 01:55:27.439 --> 01:55:29.439 seventy thousand and add on, so it comes out to 1909 01:55:29.520 --> 01:55:34.000 like two you know, like, uh, what do we say 1910 01:55:34.000 --> 01:55:37.760 two point what like just under just under an even figure. 1911 01:55:39.000 --> 01:55:41.439 So yeah, just under an even figure in the currency 1912 01:55:41.479 --> 01:55:45.840 converting converter, Uh, one point eight translates into two point 1913 01:55:45.880 --> 01:55:48.039 four nine two, So it's even gone up a little bit, 1914 01:55:48.600 --> 01:55:50.920 uh since the show started. So roughly two and a 1915 01:55:50.960 --> 01:55:54.439 half million bucks two and a half million bucks total 1916 01:55:54.960 --> 01:55:58.199 for Steven Alzate from Hull City to Atlanta United. 1917 01:55:58.880 --> 01:55:59.000 Uh. 1918 01:55:59.159 --> 01:56:03.880 Sky Sports News is gimme Sports and Alex Crook all 1919 01:56:04.119 --> 01:56:06.319 kind of leaning in that direction, So keep an eye 1920 01:56:06.399 --> 01:56:12.239 on that going forward when it comes to the new 1921 01:56:12.279 --> 01:56:17.640 deals and everything that is laid out there. Al Nasser 1922 01:56:17.720 --> 01:56:20.840 confirmed Joel Felix a two year deal thirty million euro 1923 01:56:20.920 --> 01:56:25.279 plus twenty million package. Chelsea retain a sell on. Liverpool 1924 01:56:25.319 --> 01:56:27.720 won the race for will Wright after making an improved 1925 01:56:27.760 --> 01:56:31.079 offer to Salford City. Arsenal tried to come in initially 1926 01:56:31.119 --> 01:56:34.079 outbidding Liverpool. Liverpool eventually was able to reach a club 1927 01:56:34.119 --> 01:56:38.760 to club agreement with Salford City on a six figure deal. 1928 01:56:38.880 --> 01:56:42.000 Leicester confirmed Osmir Begovic has joined on a one year 1929 01:56:42.039 --> 01:56:47.279 contract and Henrik Petterson expected to be named Danny Roll's replacement. 1930 01:56:47.720 --> 01:56:51.079 Danny Roll leaving Sheffield Wednesday by mutual consent. This morning 1931 01:56:51.079 --> 01:56:54.399 Manchester United once again we mentioned Olie Watkins. Talks have 1932 01:56:54.479 --> 01:56:58.039 already taken place. Villa prefer to keep, will not entertain 1933 01:56:58.079 --> 01:57:01.479 a sale without a replacement. According to Jacobs, they value 1934 01:57:01.520 --> 01:57:04.279 Watkins at sixty million pounds, but United think a deal 1935 01:57:04.319 --> 01:57:07.920 could be possible for less. They'll Villa find another striker. 1936 01:57:08.520 --> 01:57:11.279 United also exploring Benjamin Seshko in a move driven by 1937 01:57:11.359 --> 01:57:15.640 Christopher Vivel. Leipzig still asking for eighty million euro plus. 1938 01:57:15.960 --> 01:57:20.079 Manchester United face competition from Newcastle, who are currently more 1939 01:57:20.119 --> 01:57:22.920 advanced in discussions. Both clubs are hoping that the price 1940 01:57:23.000 --> 01:57:27.119 drops closer to seventy million euro a bid forer Nico 1941 01:57:27.279 --> 01:57:30.880 Jackson remains unlikely currently not on a deal Manchester United 1942 01:57:30.960 --> 01:57:35.479 or working on due to the cost.

City's position remains 1946 01:57:47.319 --> 01:57:49.600 that Mcattee can only leave for a figure closer to 1947 01:57:49.640 --> 01:57:52.640 the forty two and a half that was received when 1948 01:57:52.640 --> 01:57:56.920 Cole Palmer left for Chelsea. PEP prefers to keep mcattee 1949 01:57:57.359 --> 01:57:59.960 exit will be sanctioned if the player asks to leave, 1950 01:58:00.039 --> 01:58:03.880 even the club's valuation is to be met. Dortmund currently 1951 01:58:03.920 --> 01:58:06.560 debating whether to make an approach for Jaden Sancho. Manchester 1952 01:58:06.640 --> 01:58:09.800 United prepared to sell for seventeen million pounds or twenty 1953 01:58:09.840 --> 01:58:12.760 million Euro, prices now dropped lower than Chelsea's twenty five 1954 01:58:12.840 --> 01:58:17.359 million pound obligation to buy. You've still in talks with 1955 01:58:17.520 --> 01:58:20.439 Sancho as well. Garnacho is expected to leave in the 1956 01:58:20.439 --> 01:58:23.600 coming weeks, prioritizing a move within the Premier League. You 1957 01:58:23.640 --> 01:58:26.239 would welcome an approach from Chelsea. I mean, how does 1958 01:58:26.279 --> 01:58:29.960 this work? You know, I don't want to be here. 1959 01:58:30.000 --> 01:58:31.760 But if somebody came knock on the door, and if 1960 01:58:31.760 --> 01:58:36.119 these guys came knock on the door, that'd be great. Hey, 1961 01:58:36.239 --> 01:58:41.039 you knock on my door and I'll answer all you 1962 01:58:41.119 --> 01:58:45.520 others you knock on my door. Not so much. You knock, 1963 01:58:45.840 --> 01:58:49.279 I'll answer. You can get you know, Garnach's got his 1964 01:58:49.479 --> 01:58:53.239 ring camera out in the kitchen. That's right that who 1965 01:58:53.359 --> 01:58:57.600 is that? So David Moy's no, I'm not answering. Moyes 1966 01:58:57.640 --> 01:58:59.760 said on the summer series that they're looking to add 1967 01:58:59.800 --> 01:59:04.439 more players. By the way, Chelsea could potentially assign Chavi 1968 01:59:04.560 --> 01:59:08.920 Simon and Garnacho. Eddie how On Alexander Esock quote, he's 1969 01:59:08.960 --> 01:59:11.159 still our player, he's contracted to us. We to a 1970 01:59:11.239 --> 01:59:14.720 degree control what's next. I'd love to believe all possibilities 1971 01:59:14.720 --> 01:59:17.800 are still available. Received no formal offer. My wish has 1972 01:59:17.800 --> 01:59:19.920 always been he stays, but that's done in my full control. 1973 01:59:24.000 --> 01:59:26.079 Chelsea U twenty one coach has left Strasbourg to be 1974 01:59:26.119 --> 01:59:31.399 an assistant under Liam Rossignore. Let's see Chelsea close to 1975 01:59:31.399 --> 01:59:34.279 an agreement and principle with i AX for Jordel Hato. 1976 01:59:35.479 --> 01:59:38.279 Al Aklee is saying that they're prioritizing six to eight 1977 01:59:38.319 --> 01:59:42.279 new players this summer midfield priority Bisuma, Bill al il 1978 01:59:42.359 --> 01:59:45.920 Kanus and Wilfrid indeed are discussed internally. They even inquired 1979 01:59:45.960 --> 01:59:49.039 on Morgan Gibbs White before the window open Southampton confrom 1980 01:59:49.119 --> 01:59:52.399 Young Bednarek has joined Porto after his release clause was 1981 01:59:52.399 --> 01:59:56.039 triggered at six and a half million pounds, Fabio Vieira 1982 01:59:56.199 --> 01:59:58.439 added to their list of midfield options at west Ham. 1983 01:59:58.479 --> 02:00:00.600 Noll approach at to Arsenal. Vieira is now a name 1984 02:00:00.600 --> 02:00:04.399 of interest. West Ham planning to add multiple midfielders this summer. 1985 02:00:06.920 --> 02:00:11.680 So that's the early round of gossip room redinuendo. Let's 1986 02:00:11.680 --> 02:00:15.760 see if there's anything else involving other players. Everton or 1987 02:00:15.800 --> 02:00:20.359 wanting Jack Grealish apparently on a loan deal facing competition 1988 02:00:20.439 --> 02:00:24.279 from west Ham and Knopoly. Brentford are not willing to 1989 02:00:24.319 --> 02:00:27.000 sell you on Visa to Newcastle at any price unless 1990 02:00:27.000 --> 02:00:31.279 they sign a replacement first. And basically Visa thought that 1991 02:00:31.319 --> 02:00:33.840 the number was twenty six million that he was going 1992 02:00:33.880 --> 02:00:38.319 to be released at Brentford is saying thirty. Visa is 1993 02:00:38.359 --> 02:00:42.159 not interested in participating in any kind of practice activities 1994 02:00:42.720 --> 02:00:45.319 and he doesn't want to do much of anything until 1995 02:00:45.760 --> 02:00:50.640 an exit strategy has been agreed to. United had made 1996 02:00:50.640 --> 02:00:53.520 a bit of forty million euro for sporting midfielder, more 1997 02:00:53.560 --> 02:00:56.239 than Schulmand, but the Portuguese club won at least fifty 1998 02:00:56.239 --> 02:00:58.920 million euro for the Danish international as a target for Juve. 1999 02:00:59.600 --> 02:01:03.039 Leeds missed out on Igo Pashaw despite lodging an improved 2000 02:01:03.039 --> 02:01:05.279 second bid with fine orders.

If Forrest beat Monopoly to Endouye's signature, 2007 02:01:25.720 --> 02:01:28.800 they could step up their interest in Grealish or Garnacho. 2008 02:01:28.920 --> 02:01:33.319 Three litter paper Everton interested in Leons Ainsley Maitland Niles, 2009 02:01:33.319 --> 02:01:35.319 who they targeted back in twenty twenty one when he 2010 02:01:35.359 --> 02:01:37.560 was at Arsenal. Chelsea have no intention of selling Mark 2011 02:01:37.600 --> 02:01:41.960 Cucarella Kukurea sorry amid speculation with clubs in Saudi Arabia. 2012 02:01:42.520 --> 02:01:46.119 Villa midfielder Morgan Rodgers top target for Chelsea.

Munich are the 2015 02:01:52.880 --> 02:01:55.399 only club to express an interest in Chavi Simone, but 2016 02:01:55.479 --> 02:01:59.159 he prefers a move to the prem.

So 2074 02:05:49.479 --> 02:05:58.319 that is the uh the latest there at morecambe negative 2075 02:05:58.399 --> 02:06:04.000 media reports.

But it is not looking good for a 2078 02:06:09.399 --> 02:06:13.439 one hundred and five year old club where you have 2079 02:06:13.520 --> 02:06:16.359 an embattled owner and they were relegated out of the 2080 02:06:16.359 --> 02:06:19.880 EFL for the first time in almost two decades because 2081 02:06:19.920 --> 02:06:23.039 of their performance last season, so once again we'll keep 2082 02:06:23.039 --> 02:06:26.560 an eye on that.
