If our friends from 19 00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:36.680 beyond Goals menoring Michael Parkhurst and Greg Garza are not 20 00:01:36.760 --> 00:01:40.359 globe trotting or mentoring or benefiting humanity on the whole, 21 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.840 hopefully we get the chance to catch up with them 22 00:01:43.280 --> 00:01:46.760 at nine thirty and go through the Friday free kick 23 00:01:46.760 --> 00:01:49.200 and see what's going on there in between all of 24 00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:52.560 that stuff. We got a lot of news and we can, 25 00:01:52.719 --> 00:01:55.040 I guess we can. We'll go ahead and we'll go 26 00:01:55.040 --> 00:02:08.719 ahead and use this moniker. Why not? Kevin de Bruna 27 00:02:08.840 --> 00:02:13.960 not returning to Manchester City statement was released on social media. 28 00:02:14.000 --> 00:02:16.479 Pep Guardiola has come out with a statement on his 29 00:02:16.680 --> 00:02:22.199 own and you were kind of wondering when this might happen, 30 00:02:23.039 --> 00:02:27.039 considering health issues and all of the things that have 31 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:29.439 been going on with Kevin de Bruna. Obviously he's not 32 00:02:29.599 --> 00:02:34.680 happy with how his injuries have held him back. Nowast 33 00:02:34.680 --> 00:02:36.759 he's leaving Manchester City at the end of the season. 34 00:02:37.080 --> 00:02:40.919 Contract runs out in the summer, and then it was 35 00:02:41.280 --> 00:02:43.840 disclosed he's not going to be extending his deal beyond 36 00:02:43.879 --> 00:02:47.479 this campaign. Writing on the two hundred and eighty character 37 00:02:47.520 --> 00:02:51.080 app seeing this, you probably realize where this is heading. 38 00:02:51.120 --> 00:02:52.800 So I'll get straight to it. Let you all know 39 00:02:52.840 --> 00:02:54.719 that these will be my final months as a Manchester 40 00:02:54.759 --> 00:02:57.400 City player. Nothing about this is easy to write, but 41 00:02:57.439 --> 00:02:59.800 as football players, we all know this day eventually comes. 42 00:02:59.800 --> 00:03:01.520 That day is here and you deserve to hear it 43 00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:06.080 from me. First Telegraph had reported back in December. Clubs 44 00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:09.240 in Saudi Arabia are likely to show interest. CEFG want 45 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:13.479 to keep him within their stable of clubs around the 46 00:03:13.479 --> 00:03:16.639 world and such as his standing so Speaking in the 47 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:20.680 pre match presser ahead of the Manchester Darby Pep Guardiella said, 48 00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:22.599 it's a sad day, happy day for the fact that 49 00:03:22.639 --> 00:03:25.919 the pleasure I personally lived with him gave all of 50 00:03:26.000 --> 00:03:31.280 us with his humility. He gave all of us with humility, humility, 51 00:03:31.360 --> 00:03:35.639 not humidity, John humility and his influence in our success 52 00:03:35.639 --> 00:03:37.639 in the last decade that would have been impossible to 53 00:03:37.719 --> 00:03:44.080 imagine without him, when Vincent left or Sergio left or 54 00:03:44.159 --> 00:03:48.120 David Silva. It's a sad day. We still have ten games, 55 00:03:48.120 --> 00:03:51.840 hopefully eleven that we can enjoy our fans and he'll 56 00:03:51.879 --> 00:03:53.840 still get the love and recognition he deserves. I think 57 00:03:53.879 --> 00:03:55.599 I read today he's been involved in two hundred and 58 00:03:55.639 --> 00:03:57.879 eighty goals and assists in the Premier League. You always 59 00:03:57.879 --> 00:03:59.599 have to be careful for respect for players in the 60 00:03:59.680 --> 00:04:01.080 last time one of your thirty years, but come on, 61 00:04:01.080 --> 00:04:02.759 there's no doubt he's one of the greatest. For sure. 62 00:04:03.360 --> 00:04:05.800 His consistency, except for the last year when he had 63 00:04:05.800 --> 00:04:08.639 injury problems in important games and being there all the time. 64 00:04:09.520 --> 00:04:11.759 Signed in twenty fifteen for fifty four and a half 65 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.039 million pounds, Regarded as one of the club's greatest players. 66 00:04:15.039 --> 00:04:18.720 After winning six Premier League titles, two FA Cups, five 67 00:04:18.759 --> 00:04:24.360 League Cups in the Champions League, Guardiola continued his assists, 68 00:04:24.360 --> 00:04:26.879 his goals, His vision in the final third is so 69 00:04:26.959 --> 00:04:29.680 difficult to replace. Everyone can make actions, but over how 70 00:04:29.680 --> 00:04:32.600 many years in games is what makes him unique. His 71 00:04:32.680 --> 00:04:35.079 performance during this decade has been outstanding. We've won a 72 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:37.079 lot of trophies and he's been involved in every single one. 73 00:04:37.120 --> 00:04:40.199 He's part of the club. Club has said to do him. 74 00:04:40.199 --> 00:04:41.680 The door is open for the rest of his life, 75 00:04:41.680 --> 00:04:43.279 whatever he wants to do. He's part of the family 76 00:04:43.319 --> 00:04:46.240 for the club. Cities said that they plan on delivering 77 00:04:46.240 --> 00:04:49.560 a fitting tribute and a farewell. Four hundred and thirteen matches, 78 00:04:50.040 --> 00:04:52.480 one hundred and six goals, one hundred and seventy four assists. 79 00:04:52.480 --> 00:04:55.759 So Kevin de Bruna is ending his time at Manchester 80 00:04:55.839 --> 00:04:59.319 City as a player at the end of this year. 81 00:04:59.439 --> 00:05:03.120 So that is uh, that is where I guess the 82 00:05:03.120 --> 00:05:05.720 The earliest piece of news this morning involving Kevin de 83 00:05:05.800 --> 00:05:11.600 Bruna and no real surprise.

I know that we've 203 00:12:41.639 --> 00:12:46.000 got to get into and we got an update from 204 00:12:46.159 --> 00:12:52.480 our buddy Greg Garza. Greg is on a train and 205 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:56.080 if he can get if he can get to if 206 00:12:56.080 --> 00:12:59.159 he can get inside piers at airport, we'll catch up 207 00:12:59.200 --> 00:13:02.879 with Greg and find out what's going on with everything 208 00:13:03.000 --> 00:13:07.759 involving our friends at Beyond Goals menering Messrs Garza and Parkhurst. 209 00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:10.279 So that would be that would be fun if we 210 00:13:10.360 --> 00:13:14.919 ended up with Greg inside Pearson International Airport to discuss 211 00:13:15.039 --> 00:13:18.840 everything that's going on there, that would be pretty funny. 212 00:13:19.399 --> 00:13:22.000 But like I said, ten o'clock, we can whip around 213 00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:23.639 pat and Pending. That's when we catch up with Major 214 00:13:23.720 --> 00:13:25.759 League Soccer. That's when we get into major everything else, 215 00:13:25.759 --> 00:13:27.840 all right, the other promos. Since Ricky went down the 216 00:13:27.840 --> 00:13:30.480 promo road, I'll go ahead and wrap up the other promos. 217 00:13:30.679 --> 00:13:33.879 I think he said Pearson in Toronto because he sent 218 00:13:33.960 --> 00:13:36.600 us an email and he said he's on a train 219 00:13:36.720 --> 00:13:40.960 to the Toronto Airport, and I'm guessing it's Pearson, because 220 00:13:41.000 --> 00:13:43.600 if it's the one on the island, that'd be a 221 00:13:43.639 --> 00:13:46.960 heck of a train. If he's the one on the 222 00:13:47.000 --> 00:13:49.639 island that that's right next to downtown, that's a heck 223 00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:51.600 of a train ride. But I think he's on TTC 224 00:13:51.759 --> 00:13:55.000 and I think he's heading to Pearson so that if 225 00:13:55.039 --> 00:13:57.159 he can get through security in time. He has he 226 00:13:57.200 --> 00:13:59.399 has said if he can get through security, he'll join 227 00:13:59.480 --> 00:14:00.919 us and we can up with him for a couple 228 00:14:00.960 --> 00:14:03.679 of seconds. So I think it's I think he's ttceing 229 00:14:03.720 --> 00:14:06.600 on the way to Pierson. So we'll find out what's 230 00:14:06.639 --> 00:14:09.399 going on in the life of Greg Garza, the Globe 231 00:14:09.399 --> 00:14:11.399 trotter that is Greg Garza, and find out what's going 232 00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:13.879 on in the world of mentoring this time of year. 233 00:14:14.799 --> 00:14:17.639 Also all the other promos once again, Kickoff Coffee and 234 00:14:17.720 --> 00:14:22.759 Kickoff Coffeeco dot com.

I think that's all 328 00:19:27.400 --> 00:19:31.279 the promos at the moment. But once again, speaking of 329 00:19:31.440 --> 00:19:34.839 Soccer down here dot Net, yesterday we had two matches 330 00:19:34.960 --> 00:19:37.279 or two match days going on on both the channels 331 00:19:37.359 --> 00:19:42.839 on our mixler app. So it was craziness involving Dutchtown 332 00:19:42.839 --> 00:19:45.680 and Trinity Christian. That was with Maddie and Jason. Then 333 00:19:45.839 --> 00:19:48.240 I was at Hebern Christian for the matchups with Toombs 334 00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:50.279 County making the long road trip and they were coming 335 00:19:50.319 --> 00:19:53.720 north to take on Hebren Christian. Two good friends and 336 00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:56.039 Jeremy More, the head coach at Toombs and Chad Griffin, 337 00:19:56.079 --> 00:19:58.200 the head coach for both programs, and they coach both 338 00:19:58.240 --> 00:20:01.920 programs at Hebren Christian County came north to take on, 339 00:20:03.200 --> 00:20:06.039 you to take on Hebrew and Christian. And by the way, 340 00:20:06.079 --> 00:20:10.079 on the way home, they're going to go play Eatonton. 341 00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:13.440 I imagine, I don't know this for sure, they're going 342 00:20:13.480 --> 00:20:17.319 to play Putnam County in Eatonton today. I imagine that 343 00:20:17.400 --> 00:20:20.920 it was not going to be a long ride. It 344 00:20:21.000 --> 00:20:22.519 was going to be a long ride home and then 345 00:20:22.519 --> 00:20:24.400 pick up and then drive to Eatonton and drive back. 346 00:20:24.480 --> 00:20:28.119 I imagine that they're staying someplace tonight, that they stayed 347 00:20:28.119 --> 00:20:30.720 someplace last night on their way to Eatonton today. I 348 00:20:30.720 --> 00:20:33.920 do not have independent confirmation to that, but it is 349 00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:37.839 one of those where you want to challenge yourself in 350 00:20:38.000 --> 00:20:41.279 the non region schedule. Jeremy Moore wanted to do that, 351 00:20:41.359 --> 00:20:43.039 and so he paired up with the Chad who he 352 00:20:43.079 --> 00:20:46.440 knows from his time at Calvary Day on the Coast 353 00:20:47.079 --> 00:20:49.839 and so spring break for Toombs County. They're like, yeah, 354 00:20:49.839 --> 00:20:51.440 we want to keep we want to keep sharp. You 355 00:20:51.480 --> 00:20:55.240 want to play okay, fine, And so obviously traffic held 356 00:20:55.359 --> 00:20:57.160 Toombs County up a little bit. I think the match 357 00:20:57.200 --> 00:21:00.359 started a whole five minutes late yesterday, but we had 358 00:21:00.400 --> 00:21:03.079 Tombs County and Hebren Christian on the Deuce and we 359 00:21:03.279 --> 00:21:08.279 had Dutchtown and Trinity Christian on the mothership. Today it 360 00:21:08.400 --> 00:21:11.720 is Mariston Pious at the Maris School five thirty and 361 00:21:11.759 --> 00:21:14.000 seven thirty.

Yeah, I will say it was, 450 00:26:10.640 --> 00:26:13.480 of course, not without its little complications, but we made it. 451 00:26:13.559 --> 00:26:16.880 You know, you have to adjust sometimes and that's the 452 00:26:16.960 --> 00:26:20.039 name of the game. But the time we spent in 453 00:26:20.079 --> 00:26:23.880 South Carolina was great. We had good weather. The team 454 00:26:23.920 --> 00:26:26.920 did well well enough in some of the games that 455 00:26:27.000 --> 00:26:28.839 my daughter, as a freshman, got to play a little 456 00:26:28.839 --> 00:26:32.359 bit here and there, so that was great. And yeah, 457 00:26:32.359 --> 00:26:34.440 and the rest of us enjoyed the beach here and there. 458 00:26:35.519 --> 00:26:37.039 Didn't get in the water, it was freezing. 459 00:26:37.160 --> 00:26:41.759 But to take your time, do you take your clubs. 460 00:26:43.039 --> 00:26:45.039 I did not take the clubs. No room in the 461 00:26:45.079 --> 00:26:45.920 car for such things. 462 00:26:46.000 --> 00:26:48.960 John, not not even on the luggage rack on the top, 463 00:26:49.000 --> 00:26:50.720 and you sit there and cover it with a tarp 464 00:26:50.839 --> 00:26:52.799 or something, and people sit there and go he's repairing 465 00:26:52.799 --> 00:26:53.880 a house. Obviously. 466 00:26:54.119 --> 00:26:57.799 The wife wanted to take the tarp on top, and 467 00:26:57.880 --> 00:26:59.640 I was like, no, we can stuff it all in 468 00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:01.240 the car. I don't want to drive with that thing 469 00:27:01.319 --> 00:27:06.160 on top. So we crammed it and we made it so. Yes, 470 00:27:07.759 --> 00:27:10.559 I had to sacrifice the clubs. I still have not 471 00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.960 yet swung a club in twenty twenty five. It's depressing. 472 00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:20.960 We'll get there, all right. So you mentioned adventures in travel, 473 00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:22.519 so go ahead, lay them all out, get them off 474 00:27:22.559 --> 00:27:24.599 your chest. I don't know. I don't want you to. 475 00:27:24.680 --> 00:27:26.680 I don't want you to just hold it within. I 476 00:27:26.680 --> 00:27:28.759 want you to. I want you to cleanse from the 477 00:27:28.839 --> 00:27:29.920 adventures of travel. 478 00:27:30.279 --> 00:27:30.519 Yeah. 479 00:27:30.519 --> 00:27:33.200 Well, we missed an opportunity to stop by Wake Forest 480 00:27:33.240 --> 00:27:36.279 for a few hours. We planned on breaking up our 481 00:27:36.359 --> 00:27:39.440 trip and stopping at Wake for a while, but the 482 00:27:39.440 --> 00:27:41.480 two out of the four of us had the stomach 483 00:27:41.519 --> 00:27:45.559 bug overnight into the morning of travel day, so we 484 00:27:45.640 --> 00:27:49.240 canceled all plans and drove straight home and thankfully we 485 00:27:49.279 --> 00:27:53.400 had no episodes in the car, so that that's you know, 486 00:27:53.680 --> 00:27:55.000 a big positive there. 487 00:27:55.160 --> 00:27:59.880 Yeah. See, episodes in the car would be bad because 488 00:28:00.200 --> 00:28:02.880 you know, literally and you don't know if it's a 489 00:28:02.920 --> 00:28:07.519 false alarm or not. It's like, you know, pull over, stop, stop, stop, 490 00:28:07.680 --> 00:28:10.720 you know I'm gonna do something. We got a couple 491 00:28:10.799 --> 00:28:12.920 of those. Oh, you had a couple of false starts. 492 00:28:13.279 --> 00:28:15.240 We had a couple of false alarms. But I rather 493 00:28:15.279 --> 00:28:18.480 pull over and have a false alarm than not pull 494 00:28:18.480 --> 00:28:19.799 over and have a real alarm. 495 00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:24.359 Yes, that is always good. So is uh was Deacon 496 00:28:24.400 --> 00:28:26.279 happy to see you when you got home? Oh? 497 00:28:26.359 --> 00:28:27.240 Deacon made the trip? 498 00:28:27.319 --> 00:28:31.119 John?

He'll be on whatever level he's on, and 526 00:29:47.920 --> 00:29:50.000 he wants to make sure that he is in his 527 00:29:50.960 --> 00:29:53.920 poofy bed right down here, and he's crashed out and 528 00:29:53.960 --> 00:29:56.920 he's making sure that he's guarding everything and even with 529 00:29:56.960 --> 00:30:00.440 his eyes closed. Let's see. So Greg was on his 530 00:30:00.559 --> 00:30:04.200 way to Pierson on a train, and how did that 531 00:30:04.240 --> 00:30:06.799 conversation go?

I didn't know 536 00:30:14.079 --> 00:30:15.839 if this was like a like a oh my god, 537 00:30:15.839 --> 00:30:17.400 I'm gonna do a quick tag it kind of a thing. 538 00:30:17.799 --> 00:30:20.680 I was like, no, no stress, I'm stress all right. 539 00:30:21.200 --> 00:30:25.319 So then my first question has to do with detaching 540 00:30:25.400 --> 00:30:29.119 and taking it easy when it comes to your mentees 541 00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.160 and parents and such. Do they find it easy to 542 00:30:33.359 --> 00:30:38.160 unplug because they need the time to unplug, or because 543 00:30:38.160 --> 00:30:41.960 they're so wired into wanting to be successful. You have 544 00:30:42.079 --> 00:30:44.039 all of these type a's that you kind of have 545 00:30:44.119 --> 00:30:47.039 to talk away from being on the field and being 546 00:30:47.039 --> 00:30:48.480 attached to the sport all the time. 547 00:30:49.039 --> 00:30:52.720 Yeah, I think the higher level athletes and families definitely 548 00:30:52.759 --> 00:30:56.319 have a little bit more of a challenge sometimes unplugging. 549 00:30:57.559 --> 00:31:01.759 The fear of getting behind or missing a practice or 550 00:31:01.839 --> 00:31:05.759 missing a game, or just not working out for a 551 00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:11.640 few days. I really can get to people. So I 552 00:31:11.759 --> 00:31:16.200 definitely see that, especially the higher the higher up you go, 553 00:31:17.519 --> 00:31:20.880 you know, there's some obviously that's you know, have no 554 00:31:20.960 --> 00:31:24.119 problem taking breaks and understand it and see it and everything. 555 00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:27.559 But yeah, there's definitely some that we work with where 556 00:31:27.599 --> 00:31:29.480 we have to encourage things and let them know, hey, 557 00:31:29.480 --> 00:31:32.319 it's going to be all right. You know. I I 558 00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:36.119 played seasonally when I was growing up, right, I mean 559 00:31:36.160 --> 00:31:38.519 I kicked the ball around the house constantly and all 560 00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:43.599 the time. But you know, as far as team structured stuff, yeah, seasonally, 561 00:31:43.680 --> 00:31:45.319 so you'll be just fine. 562 00:31:45.880 --> 00:31:47.759 I have this, I just have this vision of you 563 00:31:47.920 --> 00:31:51.720 kicking the ball around the house off season and uh, 564 00:31:51.839 --> 00:31:54.880 you know, smashing garage doors and going up against you know, 565 00:31:54.920 --> 00:31:56.920 like we have the hockey players that are always in 566 00:31:56.960 --> 00:31:59.160 the basement and they're always sitting there and shooting pucks 567 00:31:59.200 --> 00:32:03.799 and hitting posts and the steel the steel poles that 568 00:32:03.839 --> 00:32:05.880 are in the basement. How did you how did you 569 00:32:05.920 --> 00:32:07.599 deal with that indoors off season? 570 00:32:09.200 --> 00:32:11.680 Yeah, well, we did play a fair share of indoor soccer, 571 00:32:12.960 --> 00:32:15.079 so you know, I guess there was more than just 572 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:16.720 you know, one or two seasons. There was a lot 573 00:32:16.759 --> 00:32:19.759 of indoor soccer. But inside my own house, yeah, there 574 00:32:19.799 --> 00:32:23.279 is a step from the porch into the actual house. 575 00:32:23.680 --> 00:32:28.160 You know, the porch is covered, but a step into 576 00:32:28.200 --> 00:32:32.519 the actual house. And that step got abused with a 577 00:32:32.599 --> 00:32:37.880 size three soccer ball. And thankfully my parents never gave 578 00:32:37.920 --> 00:32:41.960 me a hard time about hearing a constant thud, thud thud. 579 00:32:43.599 --> 00:32:46.119 My aunt was a different story. Anytime she was over, 580 00:32:46.200 --> 00:32:48.960 it was like, can you stop kicking the ball? 581 00:32:52.599 --> 00:32:56.680 And you're like, no, yeah, what else am I supposed 582 00:32:56.759 --> 00:32:58.559 to do? It's like, well, well, do you want me 583 00:32:58.599 --> 00:33:00.000 to come in there and hang out with you? 584 00:33:00.000 --> 00:33:05.119 Who I Actually, I've thought about it, John, And next 585 00:33:05.119 --> 00:33:06.920 time I'm home, I'm going to try and take like 586 00:33:06.960 --> 00:33:10.599 a picture and video of these two areas right at 587 00:33:10.720 --> 00:33:13.400 my house that I put in hours and hours and 588 00:33:13.440 --> 00:33:16.079 hours of kicking a soccer ball against. So that's it 589 00:33:16.160 --> 00:33:19.759 to give other people a you know, just a vision 590 00:33:19.960 --> 00:33:22.000 of what it is. And you know, kids these days 591 00:33:22.000 --> 00:33:24.640 think they need to have you know, this net, that net, 592 00:33:24.720 --> 00:33:27.880 this bounce back. You know, I have to be at practice. 593 00:33:27.920 --> 00:33:29.839 Oh there's every excuse in the book as to what 594 00:33:29.880 --> 00:33:32.119 they need in order to get better. And I had 595 00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:35.799 a step and a concrete little wall underneath the siding 596 00:33:35.839 --> 00:33:38.559 of my house and that was it, and it was 597 00:33:38.640 --> 00:33:39.240 just enough for. 598 00:33:39.240 --> 00:33:42.920 Me back in my day, exactly one of those kind 599 00:33:42.960 --> 00:33:44.079 of arguments. 600 00:33:45.039 --> 00:33:46.799 Start the video with that quote. 601 00:33:47.160 --> 00:33:50.759 Back in my day, I walked uphill in the snow 602 00:33:50.920 --> 00:33:54.880 both ways to play ninety minutes of outdoor soccer in 603 00:33:54.920 --> 00:33:59.519 the middle of February. I just had that Yeah. Absolutely, yeah, 604 00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:01.400 And I know, I know you walked uphill both ways 605 00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:06.559 going to and from when you and I still want 606 00:34:06.559 --> 00:34:09.599 to stick to the detachment idea and what it's like. 607 00:34:09.719 --> 00:34:13.400 So the higher the level, obviously there's always fomo and 608 00:34:13.440 --> 00:34:15.239 you're you know, sitting there going oh my god, oh 609 00:34:15.280 --> 00:34:18.960 my god, oh my god, I'm falling behind. But when 610 00:34:19.000 --> 00:34:23.239 you have the talk, the talk with those higher level 611 00:34:23.480 --> 00:34:29.039 aspiration or levels of success folks, after you say it's 612 00:34:29.079 --> 00:34:31.239 okay to detach, does it sink in or do you 613 00:34:31.280 --> 00:34:32.719 have to kind of sit there and poke at them 614 00:34:32.719 --> 00:34:34.840 a couple of times and go, No, it's okay, I've 615 00:34:34.880 --> 00:34:37.199 done it, and here are my examples. Why or do 616 00:34:37.280 --> 00:34:38.960 they sit there it is it a one and done 617 00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:40.199 with them? Or do you have to kind of sit 618 00:34:40.239 --> 00:34:42.719 there and hammer at them a little bit? No, it's cool, 619 00:34:42.760 --> 00:34:43.719 it's okay to lay out. 620 00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:47.840 Yeah. I think rarely messages are a one and done, 621 00:34:48.440 --> 00:34:51.480 and I think it helps, no doubt right to get 622 00:34:51.519 --> 00:34:53.840 a perspective of someone that's been in their shoes and 623 00:34:53.880 --> 00:34:57.960 had higher level success. But you know, I think that 624 00:34:58.039 --> 00:35:00.320 they always think we all times are different now and 625 00:35:00.559 --> 00:35:02.559 you know I have to be, you know, keeping up 626 00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:05.199 with the joneses or otherwise I'll fall behind. Or they 627 00:35:05.239 --> 00:35:07.239 just don't. You just don't get it what my coach 628 00:35:07.320 --> 00:35:09.159 is like or this and that that. You know, that 629 00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:13.639 may all be well and true, but yeah, I wish 630 00:35:13.679 --> 00:35:15.639 I could talk to some coaches out there as well 631 00:35:15.719 --> 00:35:18.840 and let them know, Hey, you know, if a kid's 632 00:35:18.840 --> 00:35:20.599 going to miss a game or this or that, or 633 00:35:20.639 --> 00:35:23.360 a training session or whatnot, or you know, it's not 634 00:35:23.440 --> 00:35:26.920 the end of the world, like figure it out, you know. 635 00:35:27.119 --> 00:35:29.719 So so then what would you tell What would you 636 00:35:29.760 --> 00:35:33.920 tell these coaches who are as high wired as everybody else? 637 00:35:34.000 --> 00:35:37.320 It's like, because they I think they are just as 638 00:35:37.400 --> 00:35:40.719 driven toward championships and success and things like that, and 639 00:35:40.760 --> 00:35:43.719 then that feeds to wanting more championships and more success, 640 00:35:43.760 --> 00:35:46.920 and that that ending hamster wheel that's there. What would 641 00:35:46.960 --> 00:35:48.679 you tell coaches in these situations? 642 00:35:50.159 --> 00:35:52.719 Yeah, I just remember with my son when he was 643 00:35:54.400 --> 00:36:00.199 how old was he eight? Maybe nine? Max? Playing in 644 00:36:00.199 --> 00:36:03.800 Atlanta and he was doing baseball and soccer, you know, soccer, 645 00:36:04.760 --> 00:36:10.719 you know, the academy level soccer and baseball, and both 646 00:36:11.320 --> 00:36:14.800 coaches were like, yeah, we're you encourage multiple sports and 647 00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:17.239 it's okay, da da da. But both of them were 648 00:36:17.239 --> 00:36:19.760 basically like, you know, we encourage it, just don't miss 649 00:36:19.760 --> 00:36:26.119 my practice, don't miss my game essentially, right, yeah, And 650 00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:28.519 so yeah, it's just such a challenge, right, you know, 651 00:36:28.599 --> 00:36:30.119 you tie and tell them like, yeah, we're going to 652 00:36:30.199 --> 00:36:31.880 do the best we can to manage both, but there's 653 00:36:31.920 --> 00:36:33.960 overlap here and we're going to miss some stuff here 654 00:36:33.960 --> 00:36:37.079 and there. And I get that from a coaching perspective, Hey, 655 00:36:37.119 --> 00:36:39.719 you can't have six players miss a game because you know, 656 00:36:39.840 --> 00:36:44.679 then we can't play the game, you know, but there's 657 00:36:44.679 --> 00:36:47.119 got to be a better way where we can still 658 00:36:47.159 --> 00:36:51.079 allow children to play multiple sports, especially under the age 659 00:36:51.079 --> 00:36:56.760 of eleven or twelve. It's just it's just crazy, uh, 660 00:36:56.800 --> 00:36:58.840 And so I just let him know that, Hey, you know, 661 00:36:58.920 --> 00:37:01.599 it's it's not the end of the world. And you 662 00:37:01.599 --> 00:37:05.719 know you want a happy, healthy, excited player, right. I 663 00:37:05.760 --> 00:37:08.519 don't care if this kid shows up to every training, 664 00:37:08.519 --> 00:37:10.960 If he shows up because he's forced to and doesn't 665 00:37:11.000 --> 00:37:13.760 want to be there, you know, what good is that doing? 666 00:37:13.800 --> 00:37:19.239 Anyone including the player? And the family. So yeah, it's 667 00:37:19.519 --> 00:37:21.559 I think they get a little bit too wrapped up 668 00:37:21.599 --> 00:37:25.519 in it and you know, too focused on results and 669 00:37:25.599 --> 00:37:28.880 winning and too much of it and for themselves, and like, hey, 670 00:37:29.079 --> 00:37:31.920 what's best for the athletes here? What's most important? Because 671 00:37:32.639 --> 00:37:34.639 you know, we're not winning the World Cup here at 672 00:37:34.760 --> 00:37:37.559 you know, nine U, ten U, eleven U, right, but 673 00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:41.360 could we help develop a player that might help us 674 00:37:41.360 --> 00:37:44.760 win a World Cup in the future. Maybe, but not 675 00:37:44.880 --> 00:37:45.960 if they don't love the game. 676 00:37:47.679 --> 00:37:50.719 So you know, when you have these talks with adults, 677 00:37:50.719 --> 00:37:52.800 and you know, if you have those talks with those 678 00:37:52.880 --> 00:37:55.480 kinds of those kinds of adults, hopefully it would sync 679 00:37:55.559 --> 00:38:01.719 in and when you you're trying to impress upon them 680 00:38:01.800 --> 00:38:03.719 that it's okay to miss a couple of things. Are 681 00:38:03.800 --> 00:38:07.239 you the are you the parent slash mentor that is 682 00:38:07.920 --> 00:38:11.079 encouraging playing multiple sports or are you a a one 683 00:38:11.159 --> 00:38:15.960 person you know sport mentor activist. How are you as 684 00:38:15.960 --> 00:38:17.800 a dad and how are you as a mentor when 685 00:38:17.840 --> 00:38:20.480 it comes to playing more than one sport and being 686 00:38:20.519 --> 00:38:21.519 seasonal about things. 687 00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:25.840 I love it, don't get me wrong. I love it 688 00:38:25.880 --> 00:38:28.559 and I encourage it, but I also know it's so 689 00:38:28.679 --> 00:38:33.239 difficult it's so so difficult, and it's challenging, and it's expensive, 690 00:38:33.320 --> 00:38:37.119 and it's a lot on families. So I honestly don't 691 00:38:37.159 --> 00:38:41.440 know how realistic it is. And I hate even saying that, right, 692 00:38:41.480 --> 00:38:46.159 because yes, it's possible, you know, if you're only doing 693 00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:52.000 rec to do seasonally, right, But even with my own son, 694 00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:55.599 we had to move on from rec baseball, especially here 695 00:38:55.639 --> 00:38:59.280 in Ohio. Rec baseball down in the South is much different, yea, 696 00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:02.519 but here it was you know, he was playing with 697 00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:05.079 kids who couldn't catch a ball, and you know, he's 698 00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:07.719 trying to really develop and get better and things, and 699 00:39:07.760 --> 00:39:11.000 so it was like, this isn't really helping him. He's 700 00:39:11.000 --> 00:39:13.920 not having fun going to practice doing this stuff. So 701 00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:15.559 we had to move on. And then when you get 702 00:39:15.599 --> 00:39:19.119 to a travel team, it's so difficult to play another sport. 703 00:39:19.480 --> 00:39:24.199 So as much as I encourage it, it's so unrealistic. 704 00:39:25.159 --> 00:39:28.239 Unfortunately that's the way it is right now, and so 705 00:39:28.800 --> 00:39:30.760 you know, I don't want to, you know, yeah, you 706 00:39:30.760 --> 00:39:34.880 should play multiple sports, and when it's so challenging, and 707 00:39:35.400 --> 00:39:39.119 there are some players in high school that play multiple sports, 708 00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:42.400 which is great, and I see that. I even see 709 00:39:42.440 --> 00:39:46.880 it here locally, which is fantastic, but for high level 710 00:39:46.920 --> 00:39:49.440 athletes who are trying to get better, it's just so challenging, 711 00:39:49.480 --> 00:39:52.800 even from an age of like nine or ten. And 712 00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:56.280 so I feel for parents, and I feel for kids 713 00:39:56.280 --> 00:40:00.360 that wanted to play multiple sports but feel like they can't. 714 00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:04.639 So yeah, I mean, and is this an opinion that 715 00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:09.000 you've developed over time more as a father to understand, Okay, 716 00:40:09.199 --> 00:40:11.280 it probably needs to be just locked down into one 717 00:40:11.320 --> 00:40:14.679 sport or was this something that has become something that 718 00:40:14.719 --> 00:40:17.079 you've discovered over time. Was it was there a moment 719 00:40:17.079 --> 00:40:18.880 where you're like, yeah, it probably needs to be just 720 00:40:18.920 --> 00:40:20.760 one sport, or was it something that you've kind of 721 00:40:20.800 --> 00:40:21.559 just figured out. 722 00:40:23.199 --> 00:40:25.199 I think down in Atlanta when we were trying to 723 00:40:25.239 --> 00:40:29.840 do NASA soccer and what was it east side baseball 724 00:40:30.480 --> 00:40:32.360 from my son, you know, we were trying to have 725 00:40:32.440 --> 00:40:36.719 him play multiple sports, and the commitment just from the parents, 726 00:40:37.159 --> 00:40:39.800 right driving him to one practice, getting him taking him 727 00:40:39.800 --> 00:40:41.960 straight to the other practice, like having dinner in the 728 00:40:42.000 --> 00:40:46.400 car in between. You know, like, that's a lot. It's 729 00:40:46.440 --> 00:40:48.760 a lot on us, it's a lot on him, and 730 00:40:49.840 --> 00:40:52.719 you know, it's just challenging as much as he loved 731 00:40:52.760 --> 00:40:55.880 playing both. And I want him to play both. It 732 00:40:55.960 --> 00:40:59.360 was just a lot, and it only gets tougher as 733 00:40:59.360 --> 00:41:02.800 they get older. And so yes, I'm still a proponent, 734 00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:05.440 and I think it's great for athletes to play multiple sports. 735 00:41:05.480 --> 00:41:09.400 I really do believe that. Number one, it's you're less 736 00:41:09.480 --> 00:41:12.679 likely to get these injuries at a younger age from overuse. 737 00:41:13.079 --> 00:41:16.159 And number two, I really do believe that there's so 738 00:41:16.239 --> 00:41:19.599 many things from multiple sports that you can learn and 739 00:41:19.880 --> 00:41:25.199 use in your main sport that it's so beneficial. But 740 00:41:26.400 --> 00:41:29.440 it's tough. It's tough, and maybe as the second sport, 741 00:41:29.519 --> 00:41:33.719 you can play it recreationally and that's the that's the 742 00:41:33.800 --> 00:41:36.119 way you can do it. But it's impossible to play 743 00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:40.559 two travel teams or two you know, higher level sports. 744 00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:47.199 Is there a sport that you would recommend? Abby's mentions 745 00:41:47.280 --> 00:41:51.119 that you know her son continued with dances as a 746 00:41:51.199 --> 00:41:54.800 sidebar to help out with soccer and skills and fuxuly such, 747 00:41:55.599 --> 00:41:57.760 and that's a wild card that I would have never pictured. 748 00:41:57.760 --> 00:42:00.760 But it makes a whole lot of sense if there 749 00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:05.880 was a sport that you could pair with soccer, and 750 00:42:05.920 --> 00:42:08.519 like if soccer was your a number one, you know, 751 00:42:08.559 --> 00:42:11.000 it's like, okay, this is where my bread's buttered. I'm 752 00:42:11.039 --> 00:42:14.280 going down this road. What sport do you think would 753 00:42:14.320 --> 00:42:18.320 compliment soccer the most when it comes to what you 754 00:42:18.360 --> 00:42:21.079 want to carry with you, whether it's skill set, mental, 755 00:42:21.920 --> 00:42:23.840 all of those different aspects. If you want soccer to 756 00:42:23.840 --> 00:42:26.199 be your number one, what sport do you think would 757 00:42:26.199 --> 00:42:29.199 be a good compliment, at least recreationally to help things 758 00:42:29.239 --> 00:42:32.000 out so you can still be number one in soccer, 759 00:42:32.000 --> 00:42:35.239 but still widen your skill set, be strong in other areas, 760 00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:36.039 those kinds of things. 761 00:42:36.199 --> 00:42:39.920 Yeah, and it's a great question, John, and I think that, honestly, 762 00:42:40.039 --> 00:42:43.840 there's probably ten sports that could help out, right, Because 763 00:42:43.920 --> 00:42:46.159 I played baseball growing up, and you think, like, oh, 764 00:42:46.239 --> 00:42:47.679 how could baseball help soccer? 765 00:42:47.800 --> 00:42:47.920 Right? 766 00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:52.840 But I truly believe because in baseball I learned before soccer, 767 00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:54.719 what are you going to do with the ball when 768 00:42:54.760 --> 00:42:59.079 it comes to you? Right? Every pitch, every pitch, guys 769 00:42:59.119 --> 00:43:01.840 on base different things. Right. Where am I on the field? 770 00:43:01.880 --> 00:43:03.599 What am I going to do if the ball comes 771 00:43:03.599 --> 00:43:04.760 to me? What am I going to do if it's 772 00:43:04.800 --> 00:43:06.639 hit short, if it's hit to my left, it's hit 773 00:43:06.760 --> 00:43:08.719 to my right, Does that change what I'm going to 774 00:43:08.760 --> 00:43:11.320 do with the ball when I get it? Like all 775 00:43:11.360 --> 00:43:14.199 those little mental things that I'm thinking about, and then 776 00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:16.920 in soccer you start thinking about the same thing. Okay, 777 00:43:16.960 --> 00:43:19.400 thinking ahead, right, what am I going to do with 778 00:43:19.440 --> 00:43:21.519 the ball if if it comes over to me? And 779 00:43:21.559 --> 00:43:23.880 so now I'm reading the field a little bit more 780 00:43:24.360 --> 00:43:27.400 and seeing things. And so this is just one small example. Right, 781 00:43:27.559 --> 00:43:30.599 swimming could be so great for cardio, right if you 782 00:43:30.679 --> 00:43:34.960 have to do a winter sport. Right, even even karate 783 00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:40.079 you know jiu jitsu right for discipline and dance for flexibility. 784 00:43:40.079 --> 00:43:43.519 There's so many different sports that can have a benefit 785 00:43:43.599 --> 00:43:47.039 on your soccer play on or off the field, that 786 00:43:47.280 --> 00:43:50.960 it's there really is so many different ones. And I 787 00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:54.679 think that you can find something within every sport that 788 00:43:54.760 --> 00:43:57.119 can help you in another sport, including soccer. 789 00:43:57.760 --> 00:44:00.440 And well then you know there's golf to help you 790 00:44:00.480 --> 00:44:04.880 out with you know, geometry and you know things like that. Well, 791 00:44:04.920 --> 00:44:07.559 and no, this was no lie. I had a conversation 792 00:44:08.000 --> 00:44:11.760 with Molly McCarty and she's the girls head coach at 793 00:44:11.800 --> 00:44:16.440 Jefferson High School and it hit me she's a geometry 794 00:44:16.480 --> 00:44:20.519 teacher on campus and I'm thinking to myself, it it 795 00:44:21.039 --> 00:44:23.320 hit in my head. I'm like, wait a minute, you've 796 00:44:23.320 --> 00:44:27.760 got a geometry teacher teaching soccer, and so you know, 797 00:44:27.800 --> 00:44:31.119 a soccer coach teaching geometry and it's triangles and angles 798 00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:34.480 and approaches and all the and I'm like, my head 799 00:44:34.519 --> 00:44:38.119 basically exploded during the high school show because you had 800 00:44:38.119 --> 00:44:41.360 a geometry teacher who's focused on Okay, well, if your 801 00:44:41.400 --> 00:44:43.400 angle is this and this and this, then you have 802 00:44:43.440 --> 00:44:45.400 one hundred and eighty degrees and all this. And I'm like, 803 00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:48.480 oh my god, it didn't quite hit me that it 804 00:44:48.519 --> 00:44:54.599 doesn't matter what you think might not be there to 805 00:44:54.679 --> 00:44:56.840 help affect you on the field or off. You mentioned 806 00:44:56.880 --> 00:44:58.880 as many as ten different sports and talking about ten 807 00:44:58.920 --> 00:45:01.239 different ways to do things. You don't know what class 808 00:45:01.280 --> 00:45:03.800 is going to help you out, you know, mentally to 809 00:45:03.800 --> 00:45:06.760 figure things out, whether it's geometry, it's like, oh, angles 810 00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:08.840 here and being in triangles and passing drills and things 811 00:45:08.840 --> 00:45:11.519 like that. You never know where you're going to get 812 00:45:11.599 --> 00:45:13.719 hit with something that you think is going to help you. 813 00:45:13.800 --> 00:45:17.480 And so having an open mind about all these things 814 00:45:17.480 --> 00:45:19.480 I think is just as important as figuring out what 815 00:45:19.599 --> 00:45:21.119 complimentary sport can help you. 816 00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:24.039 In soccer totally, because I see the comments on the 817 00:45:24.079 --> 00:45:27.159 side and yeah, you think about basketball, Okay, how do 818 00:45:27.199 --> 00:45:29.440 I have success against a player that's a foot taller 819 00:45:29.440 --> 00:45:31.440 than me? If I'm twelve years old and this kid's 820 00:45:31.480 --> 00:45:33.840 way developed, then I'm not yet right? How do I 821 00:45:33.880 --> 00:45:36.400 have success on a basketball court? Same thing in soccer? 822 00:45:36.760 --> 00:45:36.960 Right? 823 00:45:37.039 --> 00:45:40.000 Golf? I would think what I would get the most 824 00:45:40.000 --> 00:45:42.400 out of golf is how to bounce back from mistakes? 825 00:45:43.159 --> 00:45:43.320 Right? 826 00:45:43.360 --> 00:45:46.119 That happened so much on the golf course, right, but 827 00:45:46.400 --> 00:45:49.440 it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what just happened. How 828 00:45:49.480 --> 00:45:52.079 am I going to hit my next shot? Same thing 829 00:45:52.119 --> 00:45:54.760 in soccer, right, get over your mistakes quick. So it's 830 00:45:54.840 --> 00:45:57.639 just endless, absolutely. 831 00:45:57.159 --> 00:46:01.840 Endless, get you know. And that's another thing is just 832 00:46:02.039 --> 00:46:04.280 kind of the short term memory aspect of it all 833 00:46:04.440 --> 00:46:08.199 that since you open that door. Short term memory is 834 00:46:08.199 --> 00:46:12.199 something that I know that we all would like to have, 835 00:46:12.599 --> 00:46:15.599 and it's probably one of the most difficult things to accomplish. 836 00:46:16.920 --> 00:46:21.400 How do you have short term memory but long term recall? 837 00:46:21.440 --> 00:46:23.960 If that makes any sense. It's like get rid of 838 00:46:23.960 --> 00:46:26.559 the mistake, but don't forget about the mistake. How difficult 839 00:46:26.719 --> 00:46:28.559 is it to accomplish both of those? 840 00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:34.760 Yeah, very very you know. I think that what we 841 00:46:34.960 --> 00:46:42.039 try to encourage is forget it momentarily right, and allow 842 00:46:42.119 --> 00:46:45.280 yourself afterwards to go back and say, what can I 843 00:46:45.360 --> 00:46:48.119 learn from that? Right? Why did this occur? And how 844 00:46:48.159 --> 00:46:50.519 can I get better from it? So you bank it 845 00:46:50.920 --> 00:46:54.199 and say I'll come back to it, but refocus right 846 00:46:54.239 --> 00:46:57.159 now so that I don't make another mistake. And you know, 847 00:46:57.320 --> 00:47:01.119 things start to snowball here and you're your memory will 848 00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:03.840 go back to it for sure, right, especially whenever we 849 00:47:03.920 --> 00:47:08.639 make a mistake, right, it's it's ingrained real quick, so 850 00:47:08.639 --> 00:47:10.239 we can we can always go back to it after 851 00:47:10.280 --> 00:47:12.840 the game, right. You can always remember most of the 852 00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:15.159 mistakes you make, especially right after a game, and you 853 00:47:15.159 --> 00:47:17.440 can journal them at that point and learn from them 854 00:47:17.440 --> 00:47:20.639 and figure them out. Right, But you know, in the moment, 855 00:47:21.079 --> 00:47:25.440 we try to help our athletes definitely have that short 856 00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:27.320 term memory, that goldfish memory. 857 00:47:27.599 --> 00:47:30.400 Yeah. Michael Parkhurst at MF Parkers on the two hundred 858 00:47:30.400 --> 00:47:32.840 and eighty character app and Beyond Goals Menoring Beyond Goals 859 00:47:32.840 --> 00:47:34.719 Menoring dot Com at b G Menoring on the two 860 00:47:34.800 --> 00:47:37.400 hundred and eighty character app and the reason that And 861 00:47:37.519 --> 00:47:40.360 so since you've mentioned being a goldfish and being a 862 00:47:40.400 --> 00:47:43.000 young player out there fort Landy and I did last 863 00:47:43.000 --> 00:47:46.679 time out, you had Pedro Amador I think it was 864 00:47:46.840 --> 00:47:49.079 ninety minutes before the match is like, I can't go, 865 00:47:49.400 --> 00:47:51.639 and he was viewed, I can't go. And so what 866 00:47:51.719 --> 00:47:53.280 you what you end up doing is you end up 867 00:47:53.320 --> 00:47:56.559 tapping a seventeen year old and Dominic chong Qui, who 868 00:47:56.719 --> 00:47:59.199 Ronnie Daila has a lot of faith in, and he's grown, 869 00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:03.039 you know, incrementally and astronomically in just a handful of 870 00:48:03.039 --> 00:48:05.199 time that he's spent coming through the Academy, spent time 871 00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:08.000 with the Academy and the US and the two's and such. 872 00:48:08.840 --> 00:48:12.119 He's thrown into the pile and literally it is like, okay, 873 00:48:12.199 --> 00:48:15.320 dom you're starting. And so you have a seventeen year 874 00:48:15.360 --> 00:48:19.800 old going up against NYC in front of forty two 875 00:48:19.840 --> 00:48:23.559 thousand people, and yes, he does make a mistake that 876 00:48:23.679 --> 00:48:26.079 leads to a goal. But one of the things that 877 00:48:26.119 --> 00:48:29.679 you noticed is that the older players, the veteran players, 878 00:48:29.679 --> 00:48:32.199 Brad being one of them, you know, first thing they do, 879 00:48:32.559 --> 00:48:35.920 you know, when mistake happens, you put your arm around 880 00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:38.800 him and it's like you're you're not yelling Ranning Raving 881 00:48:38.840 --> 00:48:40.840 sitting there and going you know what the bleepity bleep. 882 00:48:40.920 --> 00:48:43.400 It is literally a situation where a seventeen year old 883 00:48:43.400 --> 00:48:46.519 has been thrown into the pile and you've got to 884 00:48:46.559 --> 00:48:50.960 make sure that that goldfish mentality is there. He banks 885 00:48:51.000 --> 00:48:53.559 things and he ends up putting up fifty seven minutes 886 00:48:53.599 --> 00:48:55.920 and Matt Edwards plays his third position at the back 887 00:48:56.000 --> 00:48:57.719 four that he's done so far this year. You had 888 00:48:57.719 --> 00:49:01.000 two younger players come and step in a situation like that. 889 00:49:01.079 --> 00:49:03.320 But the advice that you're getting from a guy like 890 00:49:03.400 --> 00:49:05.360 Brad in that situation, I think is just as key 891 00:49:05.360 --> 00:49:06.800 to help bank everything. 892 00:49:06.880 --> 00:49:10.400 Oh for sure. And that is such a challenging situation 893 00:49:10.559 --> 00:49:15.760 and such a learning opportunity for him because it's tough 894 00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:18.159 to find out you're going to start, you know, late 895 00:49:18.639 --> 00:49:20.840 like that in the first place. It's tough to come 896 00:49:20.880 --> 00:49:24.960 off a bench unexpectedly and you learn real quick. And 897 00:49:25.079 --> 00:49:28.639 my pre prayed as as much as I needed to 898 00:49:28.679 --> 00:49:31.039 be as if I was starting, And I'm not saying 899 00:49:31.119 --> 00:49:33.559 he was or he wasn't, right, but I know from 900 00:49:33.559 --> 00:49:36.239 my experience and other guys, right, it's just different when 901 00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:39.320 you're not starting, right. I even ate more at pregame 902 00:49:39.360 --> 00:49:43.400 meal when I wasn't starting, because otherwise I'm starving sitting 903 00:49:43.400 --> 00:49:46.320 on the bench, not playing and get to halftime, I'm 904 00:49:46.400 --> 00:49:50.280 so hungry, So I just would eat more and maybe 905 00:49:50.320 --> 00:49:52.800 I wouldn't do as much film if I knew, like, okay, 906 00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:54.800 I'm not going to play like I don't need to 907 00:49:54.960 --> 00:49:58.559 know everything right or you know whatever, it might be right, 908 00:49:58.599 --> 00:50:01.480 and so are you as prepared right? And so you 909 00:50:01.599 --> 00:50:05.840 learn these lessons and what is my body need? You know, 910 00:50:05.960 --> 00:50:08.320 to get ready real quick? I was talking to a 911 00:50:08.400 --> 00:50:10.079 mena the other day that came off the bench and 912 00:50:10.079 --> 00:50:12.480 had to play right away, and it's like, okay, when 913 00:50:12.480 --> 00:50:14.800 you've got two minutes to warm up, what does your 914 00:50:14.840 --> 00:50:17.360 body need? How do you get ready that quick? 915 00:50:17.800 --> 00:50:17.920 Right? 916 00:50:18.559 --> 00:50:21.800 Only you can figure that out through experience. And so 917 00:50:23.000 --> 00:50:26.519 you know, for for dom like the experience of that 918 00:50:27.440 --> 00:50:29.679 forget forget the mistake on the field, but just the 919 00:50:29.719 --> 00:50:34.119 experience of okay, going from not starting to starting to preparation, 920 00:50:34.239 --> 00:50:38.039 quick preparation, get ready, body change mentally, you know, lock 921 00:50:38.119 --> 00:50:41.480 in all these types of things, and then obviously the 922 00:50:41.480 --> 00:50:46.199 the play on the field. Right, this is invaluable for him, 923 00:50:46.840 --> 00:50:51.800 and I'm glad that you know, it wasn't a a 924 00:50:51.840 --> 00:50:56.599 moment that we couldn't come back from, you know, but yeah, 925 00:50:56.679 --> 00:50:58.800 that's I think he's going to be stronger in the 926 00:50:58.800 --> 00:51:02.159 future because of a day like Saturday, as difficult as 927 00:51:02.159 --> 00:51:03.599 it probably was for him. 928 00:51:04.119 --> 00:51:07.519 A handful of minutes left here. And so you got 929 00:51:07.559 --> 00:51:11.400 a team in Atlanta United that had a seven goal thriller, 930 00:51:12.760 --> 00:51:16.039 chaos that happened last time out in a home stand 931 00:51:16.719 --> 00:51:19.840 and where are you looking in the times that you 932 00:51:19.920 --> 00:51:21.440 get to catch up and see what's going on with 933 00:51:21.440 --> 00:51:23.920 a Land United, whether it's highlights or three sixty or whatever. 934 00:51:24.960 --> 00:51:26.440 Now that they've come out the other side on a 935 00:51:26.440 --> 00:51:28.559 seven goal thriller, you got to learn a lot of things. 936 00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:30.039 You got to learn how to come back when you 937 00:51:30.039 --> 00:51:31.960 were down. You got to kind of figure things out 938 00:51:31.960 --> 00:51:33.559 a little bit on the fly on the field. What 939 00:51:33.639 --> 00:51:35.920 did your takeaways from it? Lanta United in NYC? 940 00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:38.920 It was it was fun and exciting to watch. I 941 00:51:38.960 --> 00:51:42.760 watched the game and yeah, it was awesome. I think 942 00:51:42.800 --> 00:51:45.199 the Venz was rocking. It was loud, and you know, 943 00:51:45.239 --> 00:51:48.119 I think that coming back in a game like that 944 00:51:48.280 --> 00:51:52.920 can really pump a team up more than you know 945 00:51:52.920 --> 00:51:54.519 if you just go out there and beat them two 946 00:51:54.599 --> 00:51:58.760 zero three zero, because you know, he just knowing that 947 00:51:58.920 --> 00:52:02.480 you can come back from deficit is so important. We weren't. 948 00:52:03.199 --> 00:52:05.639 We weren't very good at that when I was at Atlanta. Honestly, 949 00:52:05.719 --> 00:52:09.800 I don't you know, especially the first two years we 950 00:52:09.880 --> 00:52:11.639 just did we didn't come back very often. You can 951 00:52:11.639 --> 00:52:16.920 look at the stats, the statistics, Yeah, that those things, 952 00:52:17.360 --> 00:52:20.599 but that's that's a really important thing for a group 953 00:52:20.639 --> 00:52:23.239 to have to have that mentality of knowing, Okay, we 954 00:52:23.280 --> 00:52:26.679 can come back here, We'll be all right. And I 955 00:52:26.679 --> 00:52:28.880 think that's what the front four can give you. The 956 00:52:28.920 --> 00:52:31.719 front five, you know, I think I tweeted after the 957 00:52:31.760 --> 00:52:35.119 game that I and I thought this prior to the game. 958 00:52:35.440 --> 00:52:37.920 I was watching the game prior and I can't remember 959 00:52:37.920 --> 00:52:40.559 who we played, and I thought, Maggie is not as 960 00:52:40.599 --> 00:52:43.079 involved as he needs to be. He needs to play 961 00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:45.840 centrally more. And I don't know what that does to 962 00:52:45.880 --> 00:52:50.159 the rest of the team or or whatever, but to 963 00:52:50.239 --> 00:52:53.719 get the best out of Miggie and if he since 964 00:52:53.719 --> 00:52:56.239 he's your best player, I think he needs to play centrally. 965 00:52:56.920 --> 00:53:00.320 I get that playing him wide gets the most talent 966 00:53:00.440 --> 00:53:03.880 on the field, but you know, I think that we 967 00:53:03.960 --> 00:53:06.400 saw what having Meggie centrally can do. 968 00:53:07.320 --> 00:53:11.280 And you've now got f CD coming to town, and 969 00:53:11.400 --> 00:53:14.480 oh it was the two two draw with Sincy at TQL. 970 00:53:15.039 --> 00:53:16.639 That was the one before that, and then. 971 00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:18.719 The last home game. Sorry, I don't know who the 972 00:53:18.800 --> 00:53:19.800 lost home game that was. 973 00:53:19.840 --> 00:53:20.840 That was Messi and Friends. 974 00:53:21.519 --> 00:53:22.320 Oh yeah, that's right. 975 00:53:22.840 --> 00:53:26.159 And so the two to one matchup against Messi and 976 00:53:26.199 --> 00:53:27.519 Friends and they go on the road to play at 977 00:53:27.519 --> 00:53:29.320 TQL and then they get the four to three. Crazy 978 00:53:29.400 --> 00:53:32.760 Now they got Luco Acosta coming to town. Uh this 979 00:53:32.800 --> 00:53:37.039 weekend for FC D. I'd like to ask a question 980 00:53:37.119 --> 00:53:41.400 to the Mogulan training. You now have your opponent in 981 00:53:41.519 --> 00:53:45.639 Open Cup and it is p Hop, the Portland Hearts 982 00:53:45.679 --> 00:53:49.480 a Pine What what is the what's the vibe with 983 00:53:50.400 --> 00:53:52.320 our i f C and p Hop next round of 984 00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:53.039 the Open Cup? 985 00:53:53.079 --> 00:53:55.599 Sir, Yeah, it's exciting, you know. I think it's it's 986 00:53:55.599 --> 00:53:58.159 great to have another team in New England. We played 987 00:53:58.159 --> 00:54:00.159 them a couple of times actually in pre season and 988 00:54:00.559 --> 00:54:03.320 they're a good team. I think we tied both games, 989 00:54:03.880 --> 00:54:08.239 but they absolutely could have beat us and so they're 990 00:54:08.360 --> 00:54:11.280 they're a strong squad and so I'm happy for Portland. 991 00:54:11.280 --> 00:54:13.280 I'm happy they've got a good team and they've got 992 00:54:13.320 --> 00:54:15.960 a team in general. So yeah, it'll be exciting, it'll 993 00:54:16.000 --> 00:54:16.320 be fun. 994 00:54:16.679 --> 00:54:21.840 Okay, David with a question, did the Menace approach you 995 00:54:22.000 --> 00:54:23.360 to go with the All Star team? 996 00:54:25.039 --> 00:54:29.519 They did not, And I think that word has gotten 997 00:54:29.559 --> 00:54:32.679 out there enough to know that I don't partake in 998 00:54:32.760 --> 00:54:36.280 such things, because I was approached by a few different 999 00:54:36.320 --> 00:54:41.000 TST teams and guys reaching out and I told them, 1000 00:54:41.199 --> 00:54:44.800 I appreciate it, guys, but no, thank you. So no 1001 00:54:45.360 --> 00:54:46.320 no such thing for me. 1002 00:54:46.599 --> 00:54:48.599 Okay, just jacking all right, what's the latest will beyond 1003 00:54:48.639 --> 00:54:50.559 goals and beyond goals mentering?

I mean, honestly, once again, I will show 1028 00:56:04.719 --> 00:56:09.559 you the amount of questions that I have for Michael 1029 00:56:09.599 --> 00:56:13.599 Parkhurst and Greg Garza on a given day.

Very very cool that 1036 00:56:32.880 --> 00:56:34.679 we get to catch up with them and find out 1037 00:56:34.679 --> 00:56:36.480 what's going on, and that they put up with me 1038 00:56:36.519 --> 00:56:40.000 and all of my wanderings and all that kind of stuff. 1039 00:56:40.039 --> 00:56:44.599 But Michael Parkers beyond goals Menoring, Michael Parkers, Rhode Island FC, 1040 00:56:45.679 --> 00:56:50.920 all of the things that are there with Oh, Abby's 1041 00:56:50.920 --> 00:56:53.199 got to breakfast at La Motelaine, all right, we'll enjoy that. 1042 00:56:53.960 --> 00:56:55.480 You know, you could always just bring us in there 1043 00:56:55.519 --> 00:56:57.519 with you and just have the YouTube up on your 1044 00:56:57.559 --> 00:56:59.599 phone and just to have us be like the Party 1045 00:56:59.639 --> 00:57:02.559 of three. But no, they put up with me a 1046 00:57:02.599 --> 00:57:04.440 great deal with all the questions that I have because, 1047 00:57:04.480 --> 00:57:07.400 like I said, I don't really have anything prepared. Something 1048 00:57:07.480 --> 00:57:10.639 might trigger in my head during the week, and then 1049 00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:15.760 the on the field stuff is something that is a natural, 1050 00:57:15.760 --> 00:57:17.960 but then it'll trigger something. It'll trigger an idea and 1051 00:57:17.960 --> 00:57:20.679 trigger an idea in a conversation, and that's where all 1052 00:57:20.719 --> 00:57:23.400 of that stuff goes. So beyond goalsmenoring dot com if 1053 00:57:23.400 --> 00:57:27.159 you have a student athlete or a parent that might 1054 00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:30.679 need mentoring, assistance and or help, and at BG Mentoring, 1055 00:57:31.079 --> 00:57:33.760 it is at MF. Parkhurst and Greg Garza is on 1056 00:57:33.840 --> 00:57:37.119 Instagram and is not on Twitter. All right, our number 1057 00:57:37.159 --> 00:57:39.880 two and that means it's the weekend whip around Patent 1058 00:57:39.920 --> 00:57:42.599 pending Trademark Comming Center, hopefully rather than later. I'm gonna 1059 00:57:42.639 --> 00:57:44.760 go through the odds in the Premier League. We'll go 1060 00:57:44.800 --> 00:57:46.920 through what to watch, where to watch it, how to 1061 00:57:46.960 --> 00:57:48.519 watch it, all those kinds of things, and then get 1062 00:57:48.559 --> 00:57:51.880 you ready for MLS Atlanta United FC Dallas coming up. 1063 00:57:52.159 --> 00:57:54.519 If you missed the conversation that we had with Ryan 1064 00:57:54.559 --> 00:57:56.960 Figured the play by play voice on FC Dallas and 1065 00:57:56.960 --> 00:57:58.679 the FC Dallas app, you can go back and listen 1066 00:57:58.760 --> 00:58:00.800 to that. One of the things that I do want 1067 00:58:00.840 --> 00:58:02.920 to bring up with Jason in his film study is 1068 00:58:02.960 --> 00:58:05.440 the idea of running down that right hand side against 1069 00:58:05.440 --> 00:58:08.360 that left back, the young left back that's going to 1070 00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:12.199 be in because of injury for FCD. So it might 1071 00:58:12.239 --> 00:58:14.920 be run the right, run the right, run the right, 1072 00:58:15.039 --> 00:58:17.239 challenge the kid, challenge the kid, challenge the kid, and 1073 00:58:17.239 --> 00:58:19.880 then when you have insurance come over for FCD. That 1074 00:58:19.880 --> 00:58:22.840 means that somebody else is open, finding that open person 1075 00:58:22.840 --> 00:58:25.280 as you're attacking down the right up against the young 1076 00:58:25.360 --> 00:58:27.440 left back for FC Dallas. That to me is probably 1077 00:58:27.480 --> 00:58:29.199 going to be something to keep an eye on for 1078 00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:30.440 those of you that are going to be a part 1079 00:58:30.480 --> 00:58:34.119 of the forty thousand plus at Mercedes Benz on the weekend. 1080 00:58:34.199 --> 00:58:38.280 All right, So we mentioned what's going on with Kevin 1081 00:58:38.280 --> 00:58:41.679 de Bruna and Manchester City, and so you have teams 1082 00:58:41.719 --> 00:58:45.559 that wrapped up the midweek yesterday with Chelsea and Spurs. 1083 00:58:46.199 --> 00:58:51.239 So you have five on Saturday. It's four on Sunday 1084 00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:54.800 and lester and Newcastle is Monday night football before they 1085 00:58:54.840 --> 00:59:00.639 go back at it again on Saturdays and such. So yes, 1086 00:59:01.480 --> 00:59:05.559 seven to twelve, Yes, okay, early match.

Yes it is. And it even got 1143 01:02:15.280 --> 01:02:18.199 to the point to where Samantha Tarkovsky dropped an S 1144 01:02:18.280 --> 01:02:22.719 bomb on the gram So it's paragraph three. But the 1145 01:02:22.760 --> 01:02:25.800 pure ish messages, the threats, that's intentional. That's on you. 1146 01:02:25.840 --> 01:02:27.679 Football is a sport, but the way some so called 1147 01:02:27.760 --> 01:02:30.320 fans behave is disgraceful.

You can catch that in audio video 1210 01:06:43.639 --> 01:06:46.880 or newsletter form and you can find out what's on 1211 01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:49.480 Jason's mind for the for like fifteen minutes every morning, 1212 01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:54.079 and we go deeper and in depth here on SDHAM. 1213 01:06:54.320 --> 01:06:58.079 So you got all that is une pasta coglu out, 1214 01:06:58.079 --> 01:07:01.360 overdone and gone because it appears that he cupped his 1215 01:07:01.480 --> 01:07:05.639 ear to the fans and everybody's like, oh, that's intentional. 1216 01:07:05.719 --> 01:07:07.199 He did what he did to Oh, I don't you know. 1217 01:07:07.280 --> 01:07:10.159 And so there's the standard amount of hue and cry 1218 01:07:10.239 --> 01:07:13.639 involving Pasta coagulo. He denied goating the fans by cupping 1219 01:07:13.679 --> 01:07:17.960 his ears, so this might be, this might be done 1220 01:07:18.239 --> 01:07:21.239 by At the end of this year, Rude van Nisseleroy 1221 01:07:21.360 --> 01:07:24.880 dropped Harry Winks from Lester's squad in a row over 1222 01:07:24.920 --> 01:07:31.559 a one hundred mile commute. Van Miissseleroy wanted Winks to 1223 01:07:31.599 --> 01:07:35.719 spend one night a week at the training ground and 1224 01:07:35.760 --> 01:07:38.320 now he's axed him from the squad after he refused 1225 01:07:38.320 --> 01:07:43.199 to compromise on the commute. Van Misseileroy had a confrontation 1226 01:07:43.320 --> 01:07:45.480 with Winks over the international break after he declined to 1227 01:07:45.519 --> 01:07:47.239 request to stay overnight one day a week at the 1228 01:07:47.239 --> 01:07:50.679 training ground.

Understood to have his own private reasons 1235 01:08:12.519 --> 01:08:15.280 for commuting every day to training, announced the birth of 1236 01:08:15.280 --> 01:08:19.439 a baby girl on Thursday, and Zomaresca also allowed the 1237 01:08:19.479 --> 01:08:22.279 midfielder to travel from his base without any issues. Van 1238 01:08:22.359 --> 01:08:25.359 Nisselroy reacted angrily, according to Percy, to what he perceived 1239 01:08:25.399 --> 01:08:29.039 as in discipline and excluded Winks from the squad for 1240 01:08:29.079 --> 01:08:32.439 Wednesday night's match at Manchester City Keen for Winks to 1241 01:08:32.439 --> 01:08:34.760 stay overnight to aid preparation, with the squad training in 1242 01:08:34.800 --> 01:08:38.520 the afternoon before a session the following morning.

Telegraph revealed that he was given permission 1247 01:08:55.720 --> 01:08:57.680 to bring his pet on the one occasion because his 1248 01:08:57.760 --> 01:08:59.479 family were away and no one was there to care 1249 01:08:59.520 --> 01:09:02.119 for it. Vested guard has not appeared in any lester 1250 01:09:02.239 --> 01:09:05.800 squad since a loss at the end of February, fourteen 1251 01:09:05.840 --> 01:09:09.039 losses in the last fifteen matches for Leicester. Sorry, Nicks, 1252 01:09:09.960 --> 01:09:13.359 So it's a rough go in Van Misseleroy, Rude Van 1253 01:09:13.399 --> 01:09:18.960 Nisseleroy is mad at Harry Winks and it's uh, it 1254 01:09:19.000 --> 01:09:23.760 ain't looking good. It is not looking good. All right, 1255 01:09:23.840 --> 01:09:27.000 let's get into the weekend preps in Major League Soccer. 1256 01:09:27.039 --> 01:09:29.520 We'll go through all of the matches. We'll go through 1257 01:09:29.560 --> 01:09:31.600 the standings, we'll lay out everything. We'll give you the 1258 01:09:31.680 --> 01:09:34.399 juice boxes as we go here, and I anticipate Jason 1259 01:09:34.439 --> 01:09:36.399 joining us in about fifteen minutes. We'll see who else 1260 01:09:36.399 --> 01:09:39.239 gets to crash and who wants to crash. We'll roll 1261 01:09:39.279 --> 01:09:42.960 through the matchups, give you the juice boxes. Questions across 1262 01:09:43.000 --> 01:09:44.479 the board. I want to know what you think in 1263 01:09:44.520 --> 01:09:46.199 the twitch pitch. I want to have I want you 1264 01:09:46.239 --> 01:09:52.000 guys to know what is going on there. You go, 1265 01:09:52.960 --> 01:09:55.720 David with a question basically about d c qw ish, So, 1266 01:09:55.760 --> 01:09:57.640 who has the fourteen year old left back academy name 1267 01:09:57.680 --> 01:09:59.399 for all of us to invest in his every three years? 1268 01:09:59.439 --> 01:10:01.119 We have a seventeen year old phenom left back well, 1269 01:10:01.119 --> 01:10:04.800 this is left back you. But that is a question 1270 01:10:04.960 --> 01:10:09.600 for uh. That's a question for UH, that for Jason 1271 01:10:09.720 --> 01:10:12.720 and for Maddie about next up when it comes to 1272 01:10:12.800 --> 01:10:14.439 left back you, who else to keep an eye on? 1273 01:10:14.520 --> 01:10:17.319 So we'll we'll pose that question when they come in. 1274 01:10:17.800 --> 01:10:20.119 So left back you continues, that needs to be a 1275 01:10:20.159 --> 01:10:22.680 T shirt with us. All right, here's your rundown of 1276 01:10:22.720 --> 01:10:27.039 the matchups, complete with juice boxes. Charlotte nashvilleests he's going 1277 01:10:27.119 --> 01:10:28.920 to start things off at two thirty. This is where 1278 01:10:28.920 --> 01:10:30.880 we've got to find out who the officials are as 1279 01:10:30.880 --> 01:10:34.359 well when it comes to all of the pro the 1280 01:10:34.399 --> 01:10:38.640 pro refereeing assignments, and we will get those as well. 1281 01:10:38.720 --> 01:10:44.600 So Charlotte is starting things off in the weekend match 1282 01:10:44.680 --> 01:10:47.680 Day seven assignments. Will go over those once again. Coming 1283 01:10:47.760 --> 01:10:51.119 up in a bit, we'll go over Lucas a Apala's 1284 01:10:51.159 --> 01:10:54.880 in the middle, Corey Parker's your AR one, Kyle Atkins 1285 01:10:55.000 --> 01:10:57.760 is your AR two, Calin Radoslav your fourth, Greg Dapka 1286 01:10:57.800 --> 01:11:01.000 and Tom Supple your VA are and your A V 1287 01:11:01.159 --> 01:11:06.279 A R. In this particular matchup, Charlotte at home even 1288 01:11:06.279 --> 01:11:09.840 money plus one hundred draws A plus two thirty six 1289 01:11:10.000 --> 01:11:15.359 Nashville SC is a plus two seventy seven and apparently 1290 01:11:15.439 --> 01:11:19.079 Dean Smith is none too pleased with the development of 1291 01:11:19.119 --> 01:11:27.119 Wolf Zaha, so it was interesting comments. Apparently Zaha has 1292 01:11:27.159 --> 01:11:31.199 to grow into uh, he's got to grow into what's 1293 01:11:31.239 --> 01:11:37.399 going on wilf If I could spell Wilfrid, wilf Zaha, 1294 01:11:38.680 --> 01:11:43.720 so Wilfrid Zaha. So that there there were press conference 1295 01:11:43.720 --> 01:11:50.000 stuff this week with the latest in Wilf Zaha. But 1296 01:11:50.800 --> 01:11:55.800 obviously we'll keep an eye on that. But you know 1297 01:11:57.800 --> 01:12:04.000 that that Wilf Zaha, it is uh, you know, he's 1298 01:12:04.039 --> 01:12:07.239 out there and he's he is like the main gun 1299 01:12:07.520 --> 01:12:11.159 that folks are looking at for Charlotte, and it's going 1300 01:12:11.199 --> 01:12:15.319 to be up to Zaha to adjust to everything, you know, 1301 01:12:15.439 --> 01:12:16.880 and all you've got to do is look as as 1302 01:12:16.880 --> 01:12:19.439 far back as the matchup against Messian friends. They're gonna 1303 01:12:19.439 --> 01:12:21.199 faul and they're going to be physical, and it's up 1304 01:12:21.199 --> 01:12:23.520 for him to adjust, and it's also up to Charlotte 1305 01:12:23.520 --> 01:12:27.520 to adjust to help see if pet Beel is going 1306 01:12:27.600 --> 01:12:30.920 to help him be that secondary that secondary name, because 1307 01:12:31.560 --> 01:12:33.680 it's you know, hey, wolf, go long and we'll get 1308 01:12:33.680 --> 01:12:36.279 it to you. But when you're being physical and you're 1309 01:12:36.279 --> 01:12:38.520 being fouled and he gets frustrated than who you're gonna 1310 01:12:38.520 --> 01:12:43.119 have step up? So that's the uh, that's the quest 1311 01:12:43.199 --> 01:12:45.600 right now for Charlotte. Charlotte is in the wolf Zaha 1312 01:12:45.640 --> 01:12:49.720 offensive loop. Who's gonna help? And then when they help, 1313 01:12:49.760 --> 01:12:52.800 does that free up Zaha? So right now Charlotte is 1314 01:12:52.920 --> 01:12:57.079 even money plus one hundred Nashville a plus two seventy 1315 01:12:57.119 --> 01:13:00.439 seven in your draws a plus two thirty six forty. 1316 01:13:01.399 --> 01:13:03.159 I look at the times and I just add ten minutes. 1317 01:13:03.199 --> 01:13:08.039 Now RSL hosting Lag RSL at a plus one o 1318 01:13:08.199 --> 01:13:11.159 eight LAG, and the draw basically within the range of 1319 01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:14.840 ERA at about a plus two forty two. Guido Gonzalez Junior, 1320 01:13:14.840 --> 01:13:17.239 the man in the middle, Jeffrey Greeson, Ben Pilgrim, your 1321 01:13:17.479 --> 01:13:20.960 ar's Thomas Snyder is your fourth Jeff Gamble and Cloudy 1322 01:13:21.000 --> 01:13:26.840 you Badea are your VR and your AVAR for the 1323 01:13:27.159 --> 01:13:30.199 other matchups there you're looking at, I mean LAG playing 1324 01:13:30.199 --> 01:13:33.239 in the midweek RSL. You know, safe Haven at home. 1325 01:13:34.960 --> 01:13:37.439 So I'm looking once again at the home side here 1326 01:13:37.479 --> 01:13:40.359 at a plus one oh eight. But once again LAG 1327 01:13:40.479 --> 01:13:42.239 played in the midweek. They're gonna have a quick turn. 1328 01:13:42.279 --> 01:13:43.920 What does the lineup look like, how are they with 1329 01:13:44.000 --> 01:13:46.439 their minutes all those kinds of things. I'm looking at 1330 01:13:46.520 --> 01:13:50.000 RSL here Crew and CF Montreal. We're gonna save it 1331 01:13:50.119 --> 01:13:54.439 Landy United in FC Dolls Crewe and CF Montreal Crewe 1332 01:13:54.520 --> 01:13:56.680 naturally a huge favorite of A minus two thirty eight 1333 01:13:56.800 --> 01:13:59.439 draws a plus three seventy three. Cf Montreal is a 1334 01:13:59.439 --> 01:14:03.560 plus five eight. Alexis Da Silva's demand in the middle. 1335 01:14:03.640 --> 01:14:06.600 Logan Brown is your ar oscar Mitchell Carvallo is your 1336 01:14:06.800 --> 01:14:09.520 ar two. Nabil bin Salah is your fourth as sore 1337 01:14:09.560 --> 01:14:13.199 in Steutschka and Robert Schat your var and your avar. 1338 01:14:14.920 --> 01:14:18.079 Cf Montreal, what are you gonna do? Now? What you 1339 01:14:18.079 --> 01:14:20.439 What are you doing with CF Montreal right now? I 1340 01:14:20.479 --> 01:14:24.039 mean as I said, I will say it again. If 1341 01:14:24.840 --> 01:14:27.880 CF Montreal wins at Crue, you will see me drink 1342 01:14:27.880 --> 01:14:31.479 Diet Mountain Do in the air. That's where we are. 1343 01:14:32.720 --> 01:14:34.680 I don't see a whole lot of promise in this 1344 01:14:34.760 --> 01:14:37.640 matchup for CF Montreal. They ground out a result last time. 1345 01:14:37.640 --> 01:14:38.800 It was not a win. It was a bit of 1346 01:14:38.800 --> 01:14:42.840 a stunner that they that they drew Chicago. I don't 1347 01:14:42.840 --> 01:14:44.920 know if that says more about Chicago or about c 1348 01:14:45.079 --> 01:14:49.239 F Montreal, but it's crue and so we'll see what 1349 01:14:49.279 --> 01:14:51.720 happens at a minus two thirty eight at seven forty 1350 01:14:52.439 --> 01:14:56.000 Cincinnati and the Revs. Cincinnati minus one seventy nine. Your 1351 01:14:56.039 --> 01:14:58.079 draws a plus three twenty one. The Revs are a 1352 01:14:58.079 --> 01:15:00.800 plus four thirty seven. Pierre Loucals airs in the middle, 1353 01:15:01.119 --> 01:15:04.680 Lee is Arfa Diego bloss your ars, Marcus Deliveri your 1354 01:15:04.680 --> 01:15:09.159 fourth Advanderissevich and Tom Supple your var and your avar 1355 01:15:09.319 --> 01:15:11.600 so Supple will be on his second match of the 1356 01:15:11.720 --> 01:15:16.920 day as an avar Ava R and Charlotte Nashville Ava 1357 01:15:17.079 --> 01:15:21.279 R and Cincinnati and the Revs. Once again, the Revs 1358 01:15:21.800 --> 01:15:26.159 got they were fortunate last time out. The Revs were 1359 01:15:26.199 --> 01:15:28.920 fortunate set piece from Carlos Hill. Once again. They've only 1360 01:15:28.920 --> 01:15:32.960 scored three goals this year, not a whole lot of 1361 01:15:33.000 --> 01:15:37.039 goals for for the Revs to have been scored this season. 1362 01:15:38.000 --> 01:15:41.640 Going to Cincinnati as a decided underdog, We'll see what 1363 01:15:41.720 --> 01:15:44.079 happens here, but obviously I'm leaning to the home side. 1364 01:15:44.600 --> 01:15:47.159 One of the more intriguing matchups outside of Atlanta. Early 1365 01:15:47.199 --> 01:15:49.960 starts at seven point forty Red Bulls in Chicago, fire 1366 01:15:50.039 --> 01:15:53.199 at SI Stadium Red Bulls of minus one twenty eight 1367 01:15:53.399 --> 01:15:56.159 fire or a plus two or plus three forty nine 1368 01:15:56.199 --> 01:15:59.319 in your draw is a plus two fifty nine in 1369 01:15:59.760 --> 01:16:02.760 that matchup. Jyra Marufo is in the middle. Corey Rockwall, 1370 01:16:02.760 --> 01:16:05.479 Adam Winkowski your ars. J C. Griggs is your fourth. 1371 01:16:05.920 --> 01:16:11.119 Jeff Gamble and Craig Lowry are your var and your avar. 1372 01:16:11.399 --> 01:16:14.279 This one's going to be an interesting one. It's going 1373 01:16:14.359 --> 01:16:17.000 to be an interesting one for a couple of different reasons. 1374 01:16:17.119 --> 01:16:19.600 Is Chicago on the road or what are they like 1375 01:16:19.680 --> 01:16:22.000 on the road? Are they for real or do they 1376 01:16:22.000 --> 01:16:25.119 still have things to figure out on the road? Red Bulls, 1377 01:16:25.439 --> 01:16:27.800 they need to get back onto the winning side. They 1378 01:16:27.800 --> 01:16:29.399 get the chance to do it at home to minus 1379 01:16:29.439 --> 01:16:33.560 one twenty eight. Defense really let him down last time out. 1380 01:16:33.560 --> 01:16:35.399 They really let me down in fantasy. By the way, 1381 01:16:35.399 --> 01:16:37.439 fix your fantasy teams if you have not in whatever 1382 01:16:37.479 --> 01:16:41.840 league you're in. But yeah, how did Red Bulls respond 1383 01:16:41.880 --> 01:16:43.840 after last week? How to fire respond on the road 1384 01:16:43.880 --> 01:16:48.520 after what happened last week with CF Montreal? I'm thinking 1385 01:16:48.640 --> 01:16:51.520 draw here. I think they cancel each other out or 1386 01:16:51.520 --> 01:16:53.039 if it is going to be a Red Bull win 1387 01:16:53.119 --> 01:16:56.560 it's going to be a tight one. Philadelphia and Orlando 1388 01:16:56.720 --> 01:16:58.439 Purple team is a plus two to fifteen on the 1389 01:16:58.520 --> 01:17:00.920 road draws a plus two to seventy one. Philadelphia is 1390 01:17:00.960 --> 01:17:04.800 a plus one ten is mayor pec Mitch is in 1391 01:17:04.840 --> 01:17:09.199 the middle, Gerrard Carder, Lebieu or le buis sorry, is 1392 01:17:09.279 --> 01:17:13.560 your ar along with Eduardo Jeff Luis Diego Arroyo is 1393 01:17:13.600 --> 01:17:16.119 your fourth units Morocci and Brian done your var and 1394 01:17:16.159 --> 01:17:24.520 your avar. Philadelphia the Bradley Carnell to Philadelphia Union going 1395 01:17:24.600 --> 01:17:28.479 up against the Orlando City team. By the way, conversations 1396 01:17:28.520 --> 01:17:31.840 this week. Now again we went through this two years 1397 01:17:31.840 --> 01:17:41.039 ago about the contract situations involving Oscar Pereja and Luis Moosey. 1398 01:17:42.560 --> 01:17:46.920 So what happens there. That's a decision for the the 1399 01:17:47.039 --> 01:17:50.079 hierarchy in Orlando to figure out what they want to 1400 01:17:50.119 --> 01:17:56.920 do involving Oscar Pereja teams getting older. What resources is 1401 01:17:57.000 --> 01:18:00.520 Luis Moosey going to have going forward? Do they wait 1402 01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:01.920 till the end of the year, do they try and 1403 01:18:02.000 --> 01:18:03.720 come up with some kind of a decision to lock 1404 01:18:03.760 --> 01:18:07.439 him in that kind of a thing. So keep an 1405 01:18:07.439 --> 01:18:10.439 eye on the Purple team off the field. On the 1406 01:18:10.479 --> 01:18:13.960 field Philadelphia at a plus one ten. I think what 1407 01:18:14.000 --> 01:18:17.560 we've seen now that Ty Barbo is back from international duty, 1408 01:18:18.000 --> 01:18:21.239 we'll see what Philadelphia looks like offensively. I'm leaning Philly 1409 01:18:21.279 --> 01:18:25.760 here seven forty five, which is seven fifty five, so 1410 01:18:25.800 --> 01:18:29.279 that's a big fox. In pregame show, Austin hosting Portland 1411 01:18:29.319 --> 01:18:31.239 at Q two, Austin a big favorite of a minus 1412 01:18:31.239 --> 01:18:34.199 one forty one Portland scoring goals, they're to plus three 1413 01:18:34.279 --> 01:18:36.279 sixty eight. Your draws at a plus two to eighty. 1414 01:18:36.920 --> 01:18:39.760 Drew Fisher's in the middle. Chris Elliot, Ricardo Ocampo are 1415 01:18:39.800 --> 01:18:43.199 your ar's, John Freeman as your fourth no relation, Ory 1416 01:18:43.319 --> 01:18:45.840 Gonzales and Might camp Minor are your var and your 1417 01:18:45.880 --> 01:18:52.680 avar in that one. Austin at home, got to get 1418 01:18:52.680 --> 01:18:55.239 some work done Portland's scoring, so maybe the play here 1419 01:18:55.319 --> 01:18:59.319 is a total if you want to avoid Austin at 1420 01:18:59.359 --> 01:19:02.000 that minus one, or if you want to chase after 1421 01:19:02.079 --> 01:19:05.600 Portland at the plus two to eighty. For the draw 1422 01:19:05.640 --> 01:19:09.680 in ninety minutes, the totals over under two and a 1423 01:19:09.760 --> 01:19:11.880 half is the over two and a half a minus 1424 01:19:11.880 --> 01:19:14.520 one twenty eight. Over three is a plus one thirty three. 1425 01:19:15.079 --> 01:19:17.600 Over three and a half is a plus one eighty seven. 1426 01:19:17.680 --> 01:19:22.319 I like that one, so over under three and a 1427 01:19:22.359 --> 01:19:24.359 half a plus one eighty seven. Keep an eye on 1428 01:19:24.399 --> 01:19:27.680 that one in that matchup with Portland on the road 1429 01:19:27.720 --> 01:19:33.359 at Austin, Helen Michelle. Houston hosting LAFC once again, LAFC 1430 01:19:34.159 --> 01:19:37.720 in the midweek, going up against Messi and Friends. Houston 1431 01:19:37.840 --> 01:19:39.520 favored at home, but it's on the plus side of 1432 01:19:39.560 --> 01:19:41.640 the plus one forty two your draws a plus two 1433 01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:46.079 thirty one. LAFC is a plus one eighty nine. Philip 1434 01:19:46.159 --> 01:19:49.119 Duyitch is the man in the middle. Corey Richards and 1435 01:19:49.279 --> 01:19:52.800 Justin Howard are your ars. Matt Thompson is your fourth. 1436 01:19:52.920 --> 01:19:55.520 David Barry. We remember David Barry as a var in 1437 01:19:55.560 --> 01:20:00.159 Atlanta against LAFC, but it was against Matti Bogus now 1438 01:20:00.159 --> 01:20:04.079 at Krusos Soul and Claudio Badea is your avar in 1439 01:20:04.199 --> 01:20:07.800 that particular matchup. So it's a test for Houston. Houston 1440 01:20:07.920 --> 01:20:12.119 right now desperately looking for a win at the bottom 1441 01:20:12.159 --> 01:20:17.680 of the West and LAFC coming off of playing Messi 1442 01:20:17.680 --> 01:20:20.000 and Friends winning a grinder one nil in the midweek. 1443 01:20:21.520 --> 01:20:27.880 Does Houston get it? We've been talking about who they lost, 1444 01:20:28.119 --> 01:20:30.760 Ace Acha and Kataskia and you really didn't replace him. 1445 01:20:32.600 --> 01:20:35.359 So maybe the draw here at plus two thirty one, 1446 01:20:35.479 --> 01:20:38.760 just saying I seventy one Derby Sporting in Saint Louis 1447 01:20:38.760 --> 01:20:43.239 City SC and with all of the problems that we've 1448 01:20:43.319 --> 01:20:47.640 seen involving Sporting Kansas City, and we've talked about him 1449 01:20:47.640 --> 01:20:50.960 a lot all week. Tory Penso, Catherine Nesbitt Brook Mayo, 1450 01:20:51.039 --> 01:20:55.319 by the way, refing your ar segig Demianchuk is your fourth, 1451 01:20:55.399 --> 01:20:58.239 Michael Radchuck and Meghan Mullen your your var and your 1452 01:20:58.239 --> 01:21:07.279 avar with Sporting. Where are you going? Carrie's a Wagnin's 1453 01:21:07.279 --> 01:21:10.920 going to be your interim going forward? Don't know for 1454 01:21:11.000 --> 01:21:12.680 how long, don't know if there's going to be a 1455 01:21:12.720 --> 01:21:16.479 big name named chief soccer officer. Don't know if you're 1456 01:21:16.520 --> 01:21:18.760 going to have someone who's going to be brought in. 1457 01:21:18.800 --> 01:21:20.680 Don't know what that whole process is going to be like. 1458 01:21:21.359 --> 01:21:23.199 Catch the interview that we had with Daniel Sperry from 1459 01:21:23.199 --> 01:21:30.239 the Kansas City Star on the network, and Sporting has questions, 1460 01:21:31.720 --> 01:21:34.079 the time frame in which they answer them is going 1461 01:21:34.119 --> 01:21:38.640 to be part of the palace intrigue here going forward. 1462 01:21:39.800 --> 01:21:42.640 You're not going to have low and I believe if 1463 01:21:42.880 --> 01:21:47.720 you're Saint Louis, so maybe it's another total match. I 1464 01:21:47.720 --> 01:21:50.159 don't know if I want to go after somebody who 1465 01:21:50.279 --> 01:21:53.000 wants to pick a winner in this one with Sporting 1466 01:21:53.039 --> 01:21:58.479 and City, but that one's at eight forty at Children's 1467 01:21:58.479 --> 01:22:02.279 Mercy Park. So we'll go ahead and we'll dive into 1468 01:22:02.279 --> 01:22:07.800 the totals. Two and a half a minus one thirty 1469 01:22:07.840 --> 01:22:10.039 six three a plus one twenty seven. Three and a 1470 01:22:10.079 --> 01:22:15.560 half is a plus one eighty. Under three and a 1471 01:22:15.600 --> 01:22:18.720 half is a minus two fifty. So if you're looking 1472 01:22:18.800 --> 01:22:21.279 at two and a half over two and a half 1473 01:22:21.319 --> 01:22:23.159 a minus one thirty six, under two and a half 1474 01:22:23.199 --> 01:22:25.239 a plus one oh three, and that's when things start 1475 01:22:25.279 --> 01:22:28.960 to shift. So if you're looking at uh goalkeepers standing 1476 01:22:29.000 --> 01:22:32.239 on their head. Ten million retiring, by the way, uh 1477 01:22:32.399 --> 01:22:37.760 that was announced by Sporting yesterday. I believe. So it is. 1478 01:22:37.920 --> 01:22:38.039 UH. 1479 01:22:38.760 --> 01:22:41.399 It is going to be a ten millionals Sporting Kansas 1480 01:22:41.399 --> 01:22:43.720 City going forward. I mean it had been already this year, 1481 01:22:43.760 --> 01:22:47.479 but ten million officially retiring one of the great penalty 1482 01:22:47.520 --> 01:22:50.159 kick stoppers in the history of this planet or any 1483 01:22:50.199 --> 01:22:55.319 other planet. White Caps in Colorado at nine thirty or 1484 01:22:55.439 --> 01:22:59.520 nine forty Vancouver at home at BC Place A minus 1485 01:22:59.520 --> 01:23:03.279 one twenty they went through pumas. They went through it 1486 01:23:03.279 --> 01:23:05.239 with Pumas in the midweek, so you've got that to 1487 01:23:05.239 --> 01:23:09.439 come around from from Conca caf Colorado draw plus two 1488 01:23:09.520 --> 01:23:12.800 eighty one and Colorado to win a plus three twenty four. 1489 01:23:14.840 --> 01:23:18.920 Catcha Coraleeva, Stefan Tanaka front and Chris Wadam. You're ref 1490 01:23:18.920 --> 01:23:21.600 and your ars photos bezakas your fourth, Timothy Ford is 1491 01:23:21.600 --> 01:23:26.279 your VR, Joshua Patlack is your ab a var Vancouver 1492 01:23:26.359 --> 01:23:31.000 traditionally tough place to play. Literally, that's the first conversation 1493 01:23:31.079 --> 01:23:33.399 piece you should have in any of this. Tough place 1494 01:23:33.439 --> 01:23:38.960 to play, and so Vancouver playing in the midweek, probably 1495 01:23:38.960 --> 01:23:42.560 gonna try and grind this down to a halt. Colorado 1496 01:23:42.640 --> 01:23:43.960 might have to do a lot of the leg of 1497 01:23:44.000 --> 01:23:48.560 the legwork here, So maybe it's a draw. Maybe take 1498 01:23:48.560 --> 01:23:51.880 the under on a total somewhere. Not anticipating a whole 1499 01:23:51.880 --> 01:23:54.680 lot of goals in this one. The late game on 1500 01:23:54.800 --> 01:23:58.159 Saturday night, San Diego FC hosting Seattle, our conversation with 1501 01:23:58.239 --> 01:24:00.680 Nico Moreno caught up with him about it. You can 1502 01:24:00.720 --> 01:24:03.880 catch that conversation either on the SDH YouTube channel late 1503 01:24:03.920 --> 01:24:07.000 in the conversation yesterday and Yesterday show the last half hour, 1504 01:24:07.800 --> 01:24:10.279 or you can listen to it on your favorite podcatcher 1505 01:24:10.319 --> 01:24:12.560 because we pull that segment and post it separately. When 1506 01:24:12.600 --> 01:24:15.399 we do Thursdays with Nico San Diego at home at 1507 01:24:15.399 --> 01:24:17.359 snap Dragon, A plus one on a quarter draws a 1508 01:24:17.359 --> 01:24:21.000 plus two thirty five. Seattle is a plus two to eleven, 1509 01:24:22.439 --> 01:24:25.600 and so the crew for that one, Malik Badawi, Jason White, 1510 01:24:25.600 --> 01:24:29.239 Felicia Mariskal will send a Mendosa is your fourth Armando 1511 01:24:29.319 --> 01:24:31.960 via ray Al and Mike camp Miner or your VR 1512 01:24:32.000 --> 01:24:34.319 and your avar. That's the second match of the day 1513 01:24:34.319 --> 01:24:37.760 for camp Minor. He's literally going from Austin and Portland 1514 01:24:37.840 --> 01:24:40.640 into the next room to get ready for San Diego 1515 01:24:40.680 --> 01:24:44.399 and Seattle at ten thirty, so he sleeps in. Make 1516 01:24:44.439 --> 01:24:46.600 sure he's got his red Bull or his caffeine or 1517 01:24:46.600 --> 01:24:48.239 whatever with him because he's going from one booth to 1518 01:24:48.279 --> 01:24:53.640 the next, back to back avars. So we'll keep an 1519 01:24:53.640 --> 01:24:56.960 eye on stuff like that. A couple of matches on 1520 01:24:58.079 --> 01:25:04.319 Sunday to look at NYC and Minnesota United. Let me 1521 01:25:04.359 --> 01:25:07.520 see which I want to see which, let me see 1522 01:25:07.520 --> 01:25:11.079 if this is actually going to be at the U 1523 01:25:11.119 --> 01:25:12.920 twelve pitch in the Bronx or if they're moving it 1524 01:25:13.000 --> 01:25:17.640 to Queens. So when the schedule pops up, I'll be 1525 01:25:17.640 --> 01:25:22.039 able to tell you nothing like clicking on buttons and 1526 01:25:22.119 --> 01:25:28.399 not having them behave all right, So it is on 1527 01:25:28.800 --> 01:25:31.239 Sunday at Yankee Stadium, so it is in the Bronx. 1528 01:25:32.119 --> 01:25:35.479 So it is a three ten start, three five and 1529 01:25:35.600 --> 01:25:39.920 seven on Sunday on Apple TV MLS Season Pass Sunday 1530 01:25:39.960 --> 01:25:41.560 Night Soccer. We'll get to that one in a bit. 1531 01:25:42.560 --> 01:25:45.039 So NYC hosting Minnesota on the U twelve pitch at 1532 01:25:45.119 --> 01:25:48.760 Yankee Stadium. Sergey Boyco, the man in the middle, Adam Garner, 1533 01:25:48.840 --> 01:25:51.960 Johnny Facchini, Luis Diego Arroyo, the rest of your crew, 1534 01:25:52.000 --> 01:25:55.560 your ars, and your fourth. Timothy Ford is your VAR. 1535 01:25:55.800 --> 01:26:02.479 So he goes from being the nine thirty VAR to 1536 01:26:02.600 --> 01:26:04.760 catching a flight first thing in the morning to go 1537 01:26:04.800 --> 01:26:07.119 to Yankee Stadium. Actually, no, he's still VR, so he 1538 01:26:07.159 --> 01:26:08.720 just goes over the room. Okay, remember I thought he 1539 01:26:08.840 --> 01:26:11.159 was the fourth for a second, but Timothy Ford your VR. 1540 01:26:11.239 --> 01:26:14.079 Jonathan Johnson is your av R. So Timothy Ford gets 1541 01:26:14.079 --> 01:26:15.399 to sleep in a little bit, but he's there for 1542 01:26:15.439 --> 01:26:19.439 the first match for VR on Sunday. I've got to 1543 01:26:19.439 --> 01:26:21.960 go NYC here just on premise, just because of how 1544 01:26:21.960 --> 01:26:24.720 difficult it is to play at Yankee Stadium. Plus one 1545 01:26:24.800 --> 01:26:27.079 fourteen Minnesota United A plus two eleven your draws A 1546 01:26:27.079 --> 01:26:30.560 plus two fifty seven in the composite five o'clock or 1547 01:26:30.680 --> 01:26:33.640 five ten San Jose and DC United. And I think 1548 01:26:33.680 --> 01:26:36.439 this was just one where the juice boxers were just like, yeah, whatever, 1549 01:26:37.039 --> 01:26:39.600 because literally the numbers are the same except for the 1550 01:26:39.680 --> 01:26:43.279 draw option in the composite with all the juice box purveyors. 1551 01:26:43.680 --> 01:26:47.680 NYC Minnesota odds and San Jose DC United odds are identical. 1552 01:26:47.720 --> 01:26:51.600 Plus what fourteen and plus two ten draws a little 1553 01:26:51.640 --> 01:26:53.840 bigger for San Jose and DC at a plus two 1554 01:26:53.920 --> 01:26:58.760 sixty six early afternoons start on a Sunday, DC having 1555 01:26:58.800 --> 01:27:00.720 to travel. I can see what why San Jose's a 1556 01:27:00.760 --> 01:27:02.920 plus one fourteen. I would lean the home team here. 1557 01:27:04.079 --> 01:27:09.760 Sunday Night soccer Messi and Friends hosting Toronto FC. It's 1558 01:27:09.800 --> 01:27:11.079 part of your life that you won't be able to 1559 01:27:11.079 --> 01:27:14.800 get back, but you're probably gonna watch it anyway. Messi 1560 01:27:14.840 --> 01:27:17.159 and Friends of Mine is two fifty six. Robin Fraser 1561 01:27:17.199 --> 01:27:20.000 runs into the erector set buzzsaw to plus six twenty 1562 01:27:20.000 --> 01:27:25.760 seven draws A plus three eighty six. San Jose's crew, 1563 01:27:25.840 --> 01:27:29.840 Victor Reevos, Jeremy Keiso, Stephen McGonagall, Joe Dickerson is your fourth, 1564 01:27:29.960 --> 01:27:34.439 David Barry is your VR, and Matthew Rodman is your avar. 1565 01:27:35.119 --> 01:27:39.439 Rubiol Vasquez the man in the middle with Jeremy Hanson, 1566 01:27:39.479 --> 01:27:43.359 Mike Nickerson, and Chris Penso, Daniel Radford, Jonathan Johnson. So 1567 01:27:43.479 --> 01:27:46.439 Jonathan Johnson goes from the three o'clock game Yankee Stadium 1568 01:27:46.439 --> 01:27:49.079 to get a game off to go to the Erector 1569 01:27:49.159 --> 01:27:54.079 set game is the avar in Dallas Vasquez, Jeremy Hanson, 1570 01:27:54.119 --> 01:27:58.159 Mike Nickerson, Chris Penso, Daniel Radford, Jonathan Johnson. So those 1571 01:27:58.159 --> 01:28:04.199 are your matchups with You're with your teams there. But 1572 01:28:04.279 --> 01:28:09.159 once again, Miami minus two fifty six in this one. 1573 01:28:12.000 --> 01:28:15.600 Going over the standings just so we've got the four 1574 01:28:15.720 --> 01:28:21.960 knowledge going into the weekend. In the East, Miami five 1575 01:28:22.039 --> 01:28:26.560 matches thirteen points, Philadelphia Columbus both twelve points out of 1576 01:28:26.560 --> 01:28:30.039 the blocks in six. Philadelphia's got the better goal difference 1577 01:28:30.039 --> 01:28:32.359 by one. Of course, we're six matches into a thirty 1578 01:28:32.359 --> 01:28:36.199 four match schedule. Chicago at eleven points. Charlotte, Nashville, Orlando 1579 01:28:36.239 --> 01:28:39.600 each with ten. Cincinnati with ten gots five, six, seven, eight. 1580 01:28:40.840 --> 01:28:44.159 Charlotte has more goals scored one the Nashville and their 1581 01:28:44.199 --> 01:28:48.239 equal on goal difference. Orlando is third in goal different 1582 01:28:48.279 --> 01:28:52.119 Cincinnati is fourth with a minus.

Everybody's at 1584 01:28:56.760 --> 01:28:59.720 two two and two goal difference means Red Bulls, NYC 1585 01:29:00.079 --> 01:29:02.399 Atland United in that order. That gets you to twelve 1586 01:29:03.560 --> 01:29:06.039 six point six matches for d C New England with 1587 01:29:06.119 --> 01:29:09.119 their win last time out, first win of the year, 1588 01:29:09.560 --> 01:29:12.359 four points ahead of Toronto and Montreal.

Austin FC is at twelve. San Diego, Minnesota, 1593 01:29:30.920 --> 01:29:33.600 Colorado each at three one in two goal difference being 1594 01:29:33.680 --> 01:29:37.720 San Diego, Minnesota, Colorado, Portland and Dallas each with ten 1595 01:29:37.760 --> 01:29:40.880 points at three to two and one better goal difference 1596 01:29:40.920 --> 01:29:44.479 in Portland eight to nine. Right now is LAFC with 1597 01:29:44.640 --> 01:29:49.079 nine points. Saint Louis City sc with eight San Jose 1598 01:29:49.159 --> 01:29:51.079 at seven points. Once again, you don't know which one 1599 01:29:51.079 --> 01:29:56.560 you're gonna get. RSL and Seattle each with six points, 1600 01:29:57.359 --> 01:30:00.439 Lag with two points, Houston with two point wh's they're 1601 01:30:00.439 --> 01:30:03.520 both at four and two, and that's why we've been 1602 01:30:03.560 --> 01:30:06.039 saying kind of keep an eye on if once again 1603 01:30:06.159 --> 01:30:10.119 you're looking at folks that might be looking for changes 1604 01:30:10.119 --> 01:30:12.439 of address. We've already seen it with Laurent Curtwi, which 1605 01:30:12.479 --> 01:30:16.760 was ridiculous, and now we've seen it with Peter Urmes. 1606 01:30:17.279 --> 01:30:20.159 But Houston at oh four and two, LA at O 1607 01:30:20.279 --> 01:30:24.359 four and two, LA has scored one more goal, so 1608 01:30:24.359 --> 01:30:29.439 we're to the second tiebreaker. Kansas City one point oh 1609 01:30:29.520 --> 01:30:33.560 five and one six goals scored, giving up two on average, 1610 01:30:34.920 --> 01:30:37.399 and it's only scoring one on average O two and 1611 01:30:37.439 --> 01:30:39.840 one O three and oho at home and away this season. 1612 01:30:39.920 --> 01:30:43.199 So that's where things stand going into the match that 1613 01:30:43.239 --> 01:30:45.319 we're going to talk about here with it Landy United 1614 01:30:45.880 --> 01:30:50.279 and FC Dallas at Lanty United minus one fifty two 1615 01:30:50.319 --> 01:30:56.399 at home against FCD. FC Dallas is a plus three 1616 01:30:56.560 --> 01:31:02.119 sixty one draws a plus three twelve. If you get 1617 01:31:02.159 --> 01:31:05.960 into the other numbers you want to get into totals 1618 01:31:06.000 --> 01:31:09.520 and things like that. The over under over under two 1619 01:31:09.520 --> 01:31:11.199 and a half of minus one eighty five three and 1620 01:31:11.239 --> 01:31:13.520 a half a plus one thirty one, So they're kind 1621 01:31:13.520 --> 01:31:15.520 of under selling it a little bit. They're thinking something 1622 01:31:15.560 --> 01:31:19.159 too oneish four and a half a plus three hundred 1623 01:31:19.960 --> 01:31:22.720 considering what happened last time. Just for giggles, if it 1624 01:31:22.800 --> 01:31:24.920 ended up four to three again, the over hundred and 1625 01:31:24.920 --> 01:31:26.680 six and a half is a plus fourteen to fifty. 1626 01:31:27.680 --> 01:31:29.760 Once again, that's in the composite courtesy of our friends 1627 01:31:29.760 --> 01:31:38.520 of odds Portal. And the question that we have is 1628 01:31:38.560 --> 01:31:41.439 once again the conversation that we had with Ryan Figurret, 1629 01:31:41.439 --> 01:31:45.039 where you have a young left back who has made 1630 01:31:45.079 --> 01:31:48.760 his way up through the academy and he's been getting minutes, 1631 01:31:48.800 --> 01:31:50.159 but it looks like he's going to be getting the 1632 01:31:50.199 --> 01:31:55.399 start coming out of the blocks at left back. So 1633 01:31:55.520 --> 01:31:58.319 then the attack that we know with Atlanta United down 1634 01:31:58.319 --> 01:32:01.439 the right is right in the cross hairs of that replacement. 1635 01:32:03.880 --> 01:32:07.800 Quoting the boss when she's referring to someone who is 1636 01:32:10.079 --> 01:32:12.399 trying to either have fun in the house and have 1637 01:32:12.479 --> 01:32:17.479 Zuomi's or needs to go outside and visit the uh, 1638 01:32:17.720 --> 01:32:20.000 visit the trees and the bushes run run un run, 1639 01:32:20.039 --> 01:32:24.680 run run run. Okay, he's still asleep. He didn't trigger that. 1640 01:32:24.760 --> 01:32:28.399 But anyway, that's what's That's what I'm looking at. I'm 1641 01:32:28.399 --> 01:32:30.439 looking at the left side of the defense for FC Dallas, 1642 01:32:30.439 --> 01:32:31.920 the right side of the attack for at Lanty knight 1643 01:32:33.800 --> 01:32:38.640 and how FC Dallas will help in the defense in 1644 01:32:38.720 --> 01:32:43.279 that particular pattern of offense for at Landey knighted and 1645 01:32:43.319 --> 01:32:46.359 then once again adjusted the adjustment. I figured it's going 1646 01:32:46.399 --> 01:32:53.159 to be down the right hand side of the attack, Brooks, Saba, Midanchuk, Miggy, 1647 01:32:53.760 --> 01:32:55.720 all of that down the right hand side, going up 1648 01:32:55.720 --> 01:32:59.920 against a young left back for FC Dallas. How does 1649 01:33:00.159 --> 01:33:02.920 Dallas then adjust to that adjustment? How does Atlanta adjust 1650 01:33:02.920 --> 01:33:04.760 to that? So you figured there's gonna be some shading, 1651 01:33:04.800 --> 01:33:07.159 there's gonna be some protection over there. Then how does 1652 01:33:07.199 --> 01:33:09.359 Atlanta sit there and adjust to that protection and the 1653 01:33:09.359 --> 01:33:14.159 shading from FC Dallas. So there you go. There, It 1654 01:33:14.239 --> 01:33:19.760 is ricky looking at the schedule disappointing. The league had 1655 01:33:19.760 --> 01:33:21.800 an opportunity to have a replaying of the first MLS 1656 01:33:21.840 --> 01:33:24.319 match on Sunday Night soccer, and they picked miying me 1657 01:33:24.319 --> 01:33:28.960 in Toronto morning. Look though I was everybody this morning. 1658 01:33:30.119 --> 01:33:32.399 So yeah, so you get Sunday Night soccer and you're 1659 01:33:32.439 --> 01:33:35.960 going with the you're going with Messi and Friends, And 1660 01:33:36.840 --> 01:33:38.239 I guess I should look at the Did I look 1661 01:33:38.239 --> 01:33:41.319 at the total on this one already? Because if you 1662 01:33:41.359 --> 01:33:44.079 look at the the I know we looked at the numbers. 1663 01:33:44.159 --> 01:33:46.640 Let me look at the total and see what the 1664 01:33:46.680 --> 01:33:50.439 totals are in this particular matchup on Sunday Night soccer, 1665 01:33:51.319 --> 01:33:55.680 uh over under Messi and Friends in Toronto two and 1666 01:33:55.680 --> 01:33:59.279 a half of minus one eighty four, three and a 1667 01:33:59.319 --> 01:34:01.640 half a plus one five. So if it gets to 1668 01:34:02.560 --> 01:34:07.479 two two and you've cleared the plus one thirty five 1669 01:34:09.399 --> 01:34:12.520 at the erector set, you're looking for four goals, you 1670 01:34:12.520 --> 01:34:16.199 can get that at the plus one thirty five. Four 1671 01:34:16.239 --> 01:34:18.000 and a half is a plus three fifteen. So if 1672 01:34:18.039 --> 01:34:19.479 you think it's gonna go to three to two, you 1673 01:34:19.479 --> 01:34:22.600 can get it at a plus four fifteen. Yeah, a 1674 01:34:22.600 --> 01:34:25.279 plus three fifteen in the composite, so plus three fifteen 1675 01:34:25.279 --> 01:34:28.680 at four and a half, uh it is three and 1676 01:34:28.680 --> 01:34:30.920 a half a plus one thirty five and two and 1677 01:34:30.920 --> 01:34:33.039 a half of minus one eighty four. Sometimes I just 1678 01:34:33.039 --> 01:34:34.560 think they just throw numbers up there to throw them 1679 01:34:34.640 --> 01:34:38.760 up there. But anyway, So not a surprise, everything kind 1680 01:34:38.800 --> 01:34:41.960 of shifts around three and Messi and friends of the 1681 01:34:42.000 --> 01:34:44.640 minus two fifty six in that one. In that matchup 1682 01:34:44.680 --> 01:34:49.319 once again, folks in the middle, Ruby Elvaskiez, Jeremy Hansen, 1683 01:34:49.359 --> 01:34:53.239 Mike Nickerson, Chris Penso, your VR, Daniel Radford, Jonathan Johnson, 1684 01:34:53.279 --> 01:34:57.399 your AVA R for Atlanta it is Ricardo Fierro in 1685 01:34:57.399 --> 01:35:01.760 the middle, Ryan Graves, Kevin Klinger, Benjamin Meyer your ars 1686 01:35:01.760 --> 01:35:06.039 and your fourth Armando v Arials your VAR. Your AVA 1687 01:35:06.159 --> 01:35:09.640 R is Jeff Mushik. So Armando v a Raal is 1688 01:35:09.680 --> 01:35:13.680 your VAR in this matchup with Ricardo Fieriro on the 1689 01:35:13.680 --> 01:35:18.439 board for uh being the man in the middle in 1690 01:35:18.439 --> 01:35:20.840 this particular matchup, but for it Landy United. For me, 1691 01:35:21.840 --> 01:35:24.079 once again, it's that first matchup going down the right 1692 01:35:24.079 --> 01:35:26.199 hand side of the attack up against a young left back. 1693 01:35:27.439 --> 01:35:30.039 What does FCD do to help shade and help with 1694 01:35:30.159 --> 01:35:33.319 numbers and what does it Landy United to do when 1695 01:35:33.359 --> 01:35:36.479 they find that numerical advantage and then find the open man. 1696 01:35:38.119 --> 01:35:40.039 So that's what I'm That's what I'm staring at here. 1697 01:35:40.800 --> 01:35:43.439 Hit it early, hit it often, and we'll see what 1698 01:35:43.479 --> 01:35:47.800 happens when folks Sudjust that's what I'm staring at with 1699 01:35:47.840 --> 01:35:49.680 that particular matchup. Let me know what's on your mind 1700 01:35:49.680 --> 01:35:52.920 when it comes to this one as well. Other news 1701 01:35:53.680 --> 01:35:55.760 in and around, Like I said, we talked about the 1702 01:35:56.039 --> 01:35:59.640 MLS juice boxes. We talked about the Premier League juice 1703 01:35:59.640 --> 01:36:03.279 box that are there, and all of the other issues 1704 01:36:03.319 --> 01:36:11.760 that are attached with m Yeah, and all the other 1705 01:36:11.800 --> 01:36:14.840 silliness and stupidity that's attached there as well. Let me 1706 01:36:14.880 --> 01:36:18.239 go through the other news that is that is in 1707 01:36:18.279 --> 01:36:20.239 and around this morning. Once again, we talked about Kevin 1708 01:36:20.239 --> 01:36:24.000 de Bruna and there's a concern or just a wonder 1709 01:36:24.000 --> 01:36:26.239 if he would be available for the Club World Cup 1710 01:36:27.800 --> 01:36:29.640 or if he would be available for someone else in 1711 01:36:29.680 --> 01:36:33.880 the Club World Cup. So that that to me is 1712 01:36:33.920 --> 01:36:35.840 one of the larger points. So if it's at the 1713 01:36:35.920 --> 01:36:39.960 end of the season to Bruna, where does he go 1714 01:36:44.359 --> 01:36:49.800 and does it end up being someplace else that you're 1715 01:36:51.159 --> 01:36:53.319 that you could end up playing for if you transfer 1716 01:36:53.359 --> 01:37:00.319 in the extraordinary transfer window. That's the uh That is 1717 01:37:00.359 --> 01:37:04.279 the other elements in all of this. Speaking of Manchester City, 1718 01:37:04.319 --> 01:37:06.600 details of the clubs and this is from a PA 1719 01:37:06.720 --> 01:37:09.039 media details of the club's legal challenge to the prems 1720 01:37:09.079 --> 01:37:12.119 updated rules on commercial deals have been shared with their rivals. 1721 01:37:13.720 --> 01:37:16.800 City launched the arbitration proceedings back on January twenty against 1722 01:37:16.840 --> 01:37:21.479 the validity of the amended Associated Party Transaction rules, which 1723 01:37:21.520 --> 01:37:23.680 seek to ensure that deals struck between clubs and entities 1724 01:37:23.720 --> 01:37:27.079 link to the ownership or fair market value. The League 1725 01:37:27.119 --> 01:37:30.279 is understood to have emailed clubs on Thursday to inform 1726 01:37:30.319 --> 01:37:33.079 them of a statement of claim from City dated March 1727 01:37:33.119 --> 01:37:36.960 twenty seven. The claim sets out the details of cities 1728 01:37:37.079 --> 01:37:41.439 arguments against the rules. The Times reports that it criticizes 1729 01:37:41.479 --> 01:37:44.479 the Premier League's treatment of shareholder loans under the new 1730 01:37:44.479 --> 01:37:48.399 APT rules, saying that it is quote distorting economic competition 1731 01:37:48.560 --> 01:37:53.560 between clubs. Times reports claims names Arsenal, Brighton, Everton and 1732 01:37:53.640 --> 01:37:57.039 Lester of clubs who have had an unfair advantage as 1733 01:37:57.039 --> 01:38:00.840 a result of how shareholder loans have been treated. APT 1734 01:38:01.000 --> 01:38:03.960 rules originally introduced back in December twenty one following the 1735 01:38:03.960 --> 01:38:09.079 Saudi takeover Newcastle rules successfully challenged by City last year. 1736 01:38:10.159 --> 01:38:13.319 A tribunal found them unlawful on multiple grounds. The rules 1737 01:38:13.359 --> 01:38:16.880 not City, including the fact that they excluded shareholder loans 1738 01:38:16.880 --> 01:38:21.399 from fair market value assessments. Premier League consulted with clubs 1739 01:38:21.399 --> 01:38:25.000 on amendments, sixteen teams voting on favor of the amended 1740 01:38:25.039 --> 01:38:27.960 rules at a meeting last November. City launched a challenge 1741 01:38:28.000 --> 01:38:31.720 to the amended rules. Statement of claim on Thursday linked 1742 01:38:31.720 --> 01:38:34.359 to the challenge City in the Premier League of decline 1743 01:38:34.399 --> 01:38:42.119 comment and so that's where that's where we are with 1744 01:38:42.359 --> 01:38:47.119 Manchester City in the sport's highest court. And then I 1745 01:38:47.119 --> 01:38:50.840 guess this is technically breaking rule and breaking news. It's 1746 01:38:50.880 --> 01:38:54.880 going to hold fast track appeals next month as Leone 1747 01:38:54.880 --> 01:38:58.159 tries to overturn the FIFA decision to expel them from 1748 01:38:58.199 --> 01:39:01.239 the Club World Cup. Ass has said that Leon and 1749 01:39:01.279 --> 01:39:07.399 Pachuca have separately filed appeals against FIFA's ruling that barred 1750 01:39:07.479 --> 01:39:09.520 Leon from the Club World Cup because the clubs have 1751 01:39:09.600 --> 01:39:15.920 the same owner. Club Laon has filed and this is 1752 01:39:15.920 --> 01:39:19.640 the quote from the court. Club Leon filed an additional 1753 01:39:19.680 --> 01:39:22.479 appeal against the decision by the FIFA Secretary General to 1754 01:39:22.520 --> 01:39:26.279 be reinstated in the competition. No target was given for 1755 01:39:26.319 --> 01:39:31.680 a verdict in the case. FIFA revealed plans this week 1756 01:39:31.720 --> 01:39:35.800 for the one game qualification playoff between LAFC and Clubamedica 1757 01:39:35.920 --> 01:39:39.520 if the ruling is upheld by cass alaw Alenze, once 1758 01:39:39.560 --> 01:39:42.039 again still arguing their case that they should be Team 1759 01:39:42.079 --> 01:39:48.199 thirty two cases being heard on appeal April twenty third 1760 01:39:48.279 --> 01:39:52.079 in Madrid, though it is listed by the Guardian that 1761 01:39:52.159 --> 01:39:56.960 its importance is secondary to the Leone appeal. Leon included 1762 01:39:57.079 --> 01:40:00.800 by FIFA in the tournament draw in December, despite the 1763 01:40:00.800 --> 01:40:03.199 pending multi club ownership issue drawn in with a group 1764 01:40:03.239 --> 01:40:07.920 of Chelsea esperance of Tunisia and Flamingo. Whichever club wins 1765 01:40:07.960 --> 01:40:10.279 the spot opens the tournament with a game against Chelsea 1766 01:40:10.359 --> 01:40:14.960 in Atlanta. So I guess you know what that means. 1767 01:40:15.000 --> 01:40:16.880 I guess that means we should probably check ticket Master 1768 01:40:16.960 --> 01:40:20.479 and find out what the Club World Cup tickets are 1769 01:40:20.479 --> 01:40:26.079 going for and if things have changed or if they 1770 01:40:26.079 --> 01:40:31.960 are any different. Once again sliding down into a oh 1771 01:40:32.000 --> 01:40:34.439 it was promoted. I was wondering why a Jim Gaffigan 1772 01:40:34.520 --> 01:40:37.720 event was in the Club World Cup section. So we'll 1773 01:40:37.720 --> 01:40:39.920 see what happens here, once again, finding tickets for the 1774 01:40:39.960 --> 01:40:44.520 opener right now listed as Chelsea and Club Leone. Yes, 1775 01:40:44.560 --> 01:40:48.680 I agree, and so get in price still at eighty 1776 01:40:48.720 --> 01:40:51.000 three sixty five, so that has not changed, even though 1777 01:40:51.000 --> 01:40:52.840 we're still trying to figure out who the opponent may 1778 01:40:52.920 --> 01:40:55.920 or may not be. Let's bring in Jason here with 1779 01:40:56.520 --> 01:40:59.319 twenty minutes to go. How much time? How much time 1780 01:40:59.359 --> 01:41:02.520 we got your partner, as as much time as you need. Okay, 1781 01:41:02.920 --> 01:41:05.039 just we'll go through the end of the show here. 1782 01:41:06.199 --> 01:41:08.920 When you look at I guess the first thing is 1783 01:41:08.960 --> 01:41:12.079 the news about Dominic chong Qui. Dominic chong Qui gets 1784 01:41:12.119 --> 01:41:15.520 his deal and once again left back you is showing 1785 01:41:15.560 --> 01:41:17.319 up for Atlanta United another contract. 1786 01:41:17.720 --> 01:41:21.880 Crazy George Bellow, Caleb Wiley, and now Dominic chong Qui 1787 01:41:22.439 --> 01:41:26.319 in a team that is in its ninth season, has 1788 01:41:26.359 --> 01:41:33.319 already produced three youth internationals for the US and three 1789 01:41:33.880 --> 01:41:36.720 players out of your academy in the same position. And 1790 01:41:36.800 --> 01:41:39.439 it's not like, you know, there's something in the water 1791 01:41:39.479 --> 01:41:41.600 about playing left back in Atlanta. It's a position it's 1792 01:41:41.600 --> 01:41:44.439 actually kind of hard to develop. It's crazy, it's very 1793 01:41:44.520 --> 01:41:48.640 very cool. It's awesome for dom a player that you know, 1794 01:41:48.680 --> 01:41:51.600 I remember seeing with the U six teams when they 1795 01:41:51.600 --> 01:41:56.199 won a national championship and he jumped off the screen 1796 01:41:56.439 --> 01:41:59.920 watching those games and their run to that MLS Next 1797 01:42:00.159 --> 01:42:03.880 Tournament title. And then last year, you know, you start 1798 01:42:03.920 --> 01:42:07.399 to see him around the twos earlier in the year, 1799 01:42:07.600 --> 01:42:10.520 and you never know, and sometimes you know, everybody's on 1800 01:42:10.560 --> 01:42:15.039 different pathways. Sometimes guys make that connection really quick. Sometimes 1801 01:42:15.039 --> 01:42:18.359 guys are able to handle it physically but maybe not emotionally. 1802 01:42:18.439 --> 01:42:22.000 Sometimes guys have the composure and the technical skill but 1803 01:42:22.399 --> 01:42:25.720 don't handle the physicality well. I think Dom is one 1804 01:42:25.720 --> 01:42:28.039 of those guys that has been able to combine all 1805 01:42:28.079 --> 01:42:31.680 of it. And once he kicked in the door with 1806 01:42:31.760 --> 01:42:34.840 the twos last year, came off the bench a couple 1807 01:42:34.840 --> 01:42:38.479 of times, was impactful every time he got on the field. 1808 01:42:39.199 --> 01:42:43.199 Once he started to do that, he took the job 1809 01:42:43.279 --> 01:42:47.159 and he never gave it back. And then this preseason, look, 1810 01:42:47.199 --> 01:42:50.359 it's another opportunity. He signed to a pro deal in 1811 01:42:50.439 --> 01:42:54.159 the off season, with the homegrown kicking in next year, 1812 01:42:55.000 --> 01:42:59.239 and with the injury to Pedro Amador in preseason, Dom 1813 01:42:59.279 --> 01:43:01.840 gets a lot of play time and he just fits 1814 01:43:01.880 --> 01:43:03.560 right in, you know, like that's the thing is. You 1815 01:43:03.560 --> 01:43:06.279 see him play with the first team in preseason, and 1816 01:43:06.359 --> 01:43:09.680 Ronnie Dila talked about it all preseason. He just looks 1817 01:43:09.720 --> 01:43:12.239 like he belongs. And it's something that Steve Cook mentioned 1818 01:43:12.319 --> 01:43:16.560 last season consistently when he went up the next rung 1819 01:43:16.560 --> 01:43:20.920 in the ladder. He didn't look overwhelmed, and he adjusted 1820 01:43:21.520 --> 01:43:27.159 and adapted really well, really quickly, and it was kind 1821 01:43:27.159 --> 01:43:29.960 of a matter of time, you know, with Pedro being 1822 01:43:30.000 --> 01:43:32.319 a little bit slower to get back into the flow 1823 01:43:32.359 --> 01:43:37.680 of things. The season, Dom kept getting opportunities and he 1824 01:43:37.800 --> 01:43:43.039 kept doing everything that he could with them. And look, 1825 01:43:43.199 --> 01:43:46.159 people can say whatever they want about last week. He 1826 01:43:46.199 --> 01:43:49.880 made a mistake. He's a young player making his first start. 1827 01:43:50.920 --> 01:43:54.920 Team gets punished for it. It happens he was very 1828 01:43:54.920 --> 01:43:58.199 good before that. He was not the Dom that we've 1829 01:43:58.199 --> 01:44:01.439 seen with the twos in the academy in that it's 1830 01:44:01.479 --> 01:44:03.800 his first start. He's figuring it out the pace of 1831 01:44:03.840 --> 01:44:05.880 the game. He wasn't prepared to start. All the different 1832 01:44:05.880 --> 01:44:10.520 things that happen with that, but that moment is a moment, 1833 01:44:10.680 --> 01:44:13.359 and it's one that I think back to. Caleb Wiley 1834 01:44:13.600 --> 01:44:16.279 made that kind of a mistake in the Red Bulls 1835 01:44:16.319 --> 01:44:19.600 game during twenty twenty two, and Gonzala Pineda said, He's 1836 01:44:19.640 --> 01:44:21.920 going to be better off for making that mistake now 1837 01:44:22.319 --> 01:44:24.600 than making it at twenty one. At twenty two years old, 1838 01:44:25.199 --> 01:44:27.920 Dom's going to be the same way. So I thought 1839 01:44:27.960 --> 01:44:29.960 the fact that he spoke to the media afterwards says 1840 01:44:29.960 --> 01:44:32.800 a lot about who he is and his confidence level 1841 01:44:33.000 --> 01:44:36.560 and what he's going to be, and that that was 1842 01:44:36.640 --> 01:44:40.680 maybe what impressed me the most so far about Dominic 1843 01:44:40.760 --> 01:44:43.720 chon Kui is on a night like that with the 1844 01:44:43.760 --> 01:44:46.920 mistake that he made, he didn't run and hide. He 1845 01:44:47.000 --> 01:44:50.119 spoke to the media, and that says a lot about 1846 01:44:50.119 --> 01:44:51.359 his character. I was really impressed. 1847 01:44:51.560 --> 01:44:55.720 Fifty seven minutes too, total tackles. It was winning two 1848 01:44:56.000 --> 01:44:58.319 duels on the day on the ground, thirty two touches, 1849 01:44:58.359 --> 01:45:01.920 sixty nine percent passing, and then Matthew Edwards comes in 1850 01:45:02.479 --> 01:45:06.039 and runs the other thirty three minutes. And so now 1851 01:45:06.039 --> 01:45:08.600 Matthew Edwards is I think one position away from filling 1852 01:45:08.600 --> 01:45:10.399 out the Bengo card on the back line this year. 1853 01:45:10.399 --> 01:45:13.199 And matt continues to impress. Yeah, he's played, I mean 1854 01:45:13.199 --> 01:45:15.560 all across the back line. He hasn't played on either 1855 01:45:15.640 --> 01:45:17.680 side of center back, but he's played right back, he's 1856 01:45:17.680 --> 01:45:20.279 played center back, he's played left back. He came up 1857 01:45:20.279 --> 01:45:21.600 as a six, and maybe we see him as a 1858 01:45:21.600 --> 01:45:25.439 six at some point. You're really lucky with the guys 1859 01:45:25.439 --> 01:45:28.439 that you're developing out of the academy, and I think 1860 01:45:28.520 --> 01:45:31.319 it goes back to the original investment that Arthur Blank 1861 01:45:31.359 --> 01:45:33.840 made to start the academy a year early and you've 1862 01:45:33.840 --> 01:45:36.560 seen it pay off consistently. And now what you want 1863 01:45:36.600 --> 01:45:40.800 to see as this club continues to grow and especially 1864 01:45:40.920 --> 01:45:43.720 grow its depth, and not just depth in the first 1865 01:45:43.720 --> 01:45:47.199 team roster, but depth as a club. You want to 1866 01:45:47.199 --> 01:45:49.119 see more homegrowns come up, and you want to see 1867 01:45:49.119 --> 01:45:51.560 more homegrowns play, and you want to see more homegrown 1868 01:45:51.680 --> 01:45:55.920 show quicker that they're able to play at this level 1869 01:45:55.920 --> 01:45:58.319 and contribute to the first team, because we've seen it 1870 01:45:58.399 --> 01:46:02.960 around MLS over this last decade or so. Plus the 1871 01:46:03.000 --> 01:46:06.079 clubs that are able to increase their depth and get 1872 01:46:06.119 --> 01:46:10.600 contributions from guys they develop, and that's homegrowns, that's guys 1873 01:46:10.600 --> 01:46:13.319 that they draft, that's guys that they sign and come 1874 01:46:13.359 --> 01:46:17.720 through the second team. In a cap league, you have 1875 01:46:17.800 --> 01:46:21.359 to have those kinds of contributions. You're not asking them 1876 01:46:21.479 --> 01:46:25.199 to be MLS best eleven at times. I think, you know, 1877 01:46:25.279 --> 01:46:27.399 Caleb Wiley showed that he was at that kind of level. 1878 01:46:27.439 --> 01:46:30.880 I think Dom has that kind of potential that you'd 1879 01:46:30.960 --> 01:46:33.640 love to see that, but you can't guarantee that you 1880 01:46:33.720 --> 01:46:35.840 want guys to be able to come in and contribute 1881 01:46:35.880 --> 01:46:39.720 and do like what you're seeing with Matt. You know, 1882 01:46:39.840 --> 01:46:43.279 Matt is another one who signed the twos last year, 1883 01:46:43.800 --> 01:46:46.239 wasn't guaranteed anything. That's something that he told us when 1884 01:46:46.279 --> 01:46:48.279 he signed his first team deal middle of the last season. 1885 01:46:48.680 --> 01:46:50.800 He didn't walk into the twos with that guarantee of 1886 01:46:50.840 --> 01:46:53.239 a first team deal. It was we're gonna sign you, 1887 01:46:53.279 --> 01:46:55.319 We're gonna pay you. We want to see what you 1888 01:46:55.359 --> 01:46:58.960 can turn into. He's turned into a really dependable player 1889 01:46:59.039 --> 01:47:01.520 at the MLS level. It's very very cool to see, 1890 01:47:01.560 --> 01:47:03.279 and he's just one of the good guys. I hope 1891 01:47:03.319 --> 01:47:05.479 he saw the clip that we shared from this week 1892 01:47:05.680 --> 01:47:10.680 in training where this is a guy who, long term 1893 01:47:10.760 --> 01:47:13.600 in his life, is going to contribute a lot to 1894 01:47:13.680 --> 01:47:15.479 the sport. He's going to be a coach, he's going 1895 01:47:15.520 --> 01:47:19.399 to end up having a long professional career, and you're 1896 01:47:19.439 --> 01:47:22.479 already seeing him be a mentor in ways to a 1897 01:47:22.520 --> 01:47:23.119 guy like Dom. 1898 01:47:23.600 --> 01:47:26.840 So that's very very cool to see. What has study 1899 01:47:26.840 --> 01:47:28.760 Hall been like for you getting ready for FC Dallas. 1900 01:47:28.800 --> 01:47:30.159 What have you seen at the Children's South Care of 1901 01:47:30.159 --> 01:47:32.920 Atlanta training ground this week? What are you expecting from 1902 01:47:33.000 --> 01:47:36.880 Atlanta United coming off the seven goal car crash that 1903 01:47:37.039 --> 01:47:38.640 ended up full points by the end of it. 1904 01:47:38.600 --> 01:47:41.159 All, hopefully a fewer goals conceded. That's one thing that 1905 01:47:41.199 --> 01:47:42.920 I hope that we see because that was not fun. 1906 01:47:44.399 --> 01:47:47.840 The outcome was fun. The chaos was fun for people 1907 01:47:47.840 --> 01:47:50.479 who aren't sweating through it the way that we were 1908 01:47:50.520 --> 01:47:52.199 trying to call that game because it was a nuts 1909 01:47:53.880 --> 01:47:56.039 Dallas is a team we saw in the preseason finale. 1910 01:47:56.199 --> 01:47:58.159 You know, we got to see them up close in Mariatta. 1911 01:47:58.600 --> 01:48:02.079 I think a team that plays in a very very 1912 01:48:02.079 --> 01:48:06.000 similar way to Atlanta United. You've got different personnel, so 1913 01:48:06.039 --> 01:48:09.560 there's a different flavor to it, but a lot of 1914 01:48:10.000 --> 01:48:13.159 similar ingredients, and you're trying to get to the same 1915 01:48:13.279 --> 01:48:15.079 kind of a dish in the way that you want 1916 01:48:15.079 --> 01:48:17.239 to play. You want the ball, you want to play 1917 01:48:17.279 --> 01:48:18.800 in a four to three three. You want to be 1918 01:48:18.960 --> 01:48:21.079 very good with your counter pressure. You want to be 1919 01:48:21.880 --> 01:48:23.760 you want to play a very high line. You want 1920 01:48:23.800 --> 01:48:28.199 to make it very difficult for the opponent to feel comfortable. 1921 01:48:29.520 --> 01:48:32.359 You'd go about it different ways. I mean, Luciano Acosta 1922 01:48:32.399 --> 01:48:34.720 is a very different kind of player than Alexi Moranchuk. 1923 01:48:34.800 --> 01:48:38.439 Both are maestros. Both are very talented on the ball. 1924 01:48:39.039 --> 01:48:41.640 Alexi gives you more on the defensive side, Luco doesn't, 1925 01:48:41.640 --> 01:48:43.720 so you have to make up that ground. I think 1926 01:48:43.760 --> 01:48:45.840 at Land and center backs are better on the ball 1927 01:48:45.920 --> 01:48:49.159 than Dallas's center backs, but Dallas's center backs maybe more athletics, 1928 01:48:49.199 --> 01:48:51.720 so that high line they can do it and they 1929 01:48:51.760 --> 01:48:54.880 cainge back and recover. We'll find out how athletic they are. 1930 01:48:54.880 --> 01:48:56.439 And chasing a latte a lot, that's going to be 1931 01:48:56.479 --> 01:48:59.640 an interesting battle. It's a game that you got to 1932 01:48:59.640 --> 01:49:03.439 take control and I want to see a little bit 1933 01:49:03.439 --> 01:49:05.119 more of that in this game. I think that's the 1934 01:49:05.159 --> 01:49:08.880 next step for this Atlanta United team is and watching 1935 01:49:08.920 --> 01:49:10.960 training sessions over the past few weeks, I think you're 1936 01:49:11.000 --> 01:49:14.439 seeing Ronnie Diila and his staff really hone in on 1937 01:49:14.479 --> 01:49:16.399 wanting to be better with the ball. Because if this 1938 01:49:16.479 --> 01:49:18.239 team's better with the ball, you don't get into the 1939 01:49:18.239 --> 01:49:21.119 weird games like you had last week. You don't have 1940 01:49:21.279 --> 01:49:23.720 some of those moments where the opponent wins the ball 1941 01:49:23.760 --> 01:49:28.760 from you, gets forward quickly and you're unbalanced. You don't 1942 01:49:28.800 --> 01:49:32.319 have those breakdown moments, and you've got to be better 1943 01:49:32.319 --> 01:49:35.800 in possession, and that's when we talk possession. I'm not 1944 01:49:35.840 --> 01:49:38.119 saying just keep the ball. I'm talking about what you 1945 01:49:38.239 --> 01:49:41.039 do with it. So how you build up, how you 1946 01:49:41.079 --> 01:49:44.039 get past lines of the opponent, how you get through 1947 01:49:44.079 --> 01:49:47.199 that first line of pressure, how you eliminate guys, how 1948 01:49:47.279 --> 01:49:49.800 you make the wingers and the strikers say, man, I 1949 01:49:49.800 --> 01:49:52.000 don't want to chase these guys all day and you 1950 01:49:52.039 --> 01:49:54.479 break them. You want to do that, And when you 1951 01:49:54.520 --> 01:49:56.880 start to do that, then you can do more and 1952 01:49:56.960 --> 01:50:01.239 more and more in terms of controlling the I don't 1953 01:50:01.239 --> 01:50:03.800 think we've seen enough patience from Atlanta United at times 1954 01:50:03.840 --> 01:50:06.319 with the ball, and that's one of the next steps 1955 01:50:06.399 --> 01:50:09.399 for me, is being able to pick your spots of 1956 01:50:10.439 --> 01:50:13.720 putting your foot on the gas and going and put 1957 01:50:13.720 --> 01:50:17.520 your foot on the ball and keeping it to work 1958 01:50:17.600 --> 01:50:20.319 it into a better spot. I think that's the next 1959 01:50:20.600 --> 01:50:23.520 step for this group and maybe we'll see some elements 1960 01:50:23.600 --> 01:50:25.880 of that and that growth tomorrow night. 1961 01:50:26.520 --> 01:50:30.800 What other matchups, Not that you're looking at nineteen matches 1962 01:50:30.840 --> 01:50:32.199 at one time, but when you look at the rest 1963 01:50:32.199 --> 01:50:34.000 of the schedule in Major League Soccer, what sticks out 1964 01:50:34.039 --> 01:50:34.359 to you This. 1965 01:50:34.319 --> 01:50:38.800 Weekend, I want to see Philadelphia and Orlando. Philadelphia went 1966 01:50:38.800 --> 01:50:41.680 to Central Florida and smacked Orlando around earlier this year. 1967 01:50:41.760 --> 01:50:44.960 Do you see some revenge from the Purple folks in 1968 01:50:45.000 --> 01:50:48.039 that one? I want to see what Miami and LAFC 1969 01:50:48.159 --> 01:50:51.359 look like with a massive second leg in concer CAF 1970 01:50:51.479 --> 01:50:55.720 looming next week. How much rotation do you see from 1971 01:50:55.720 --> 01:50:58.319 those teams? What do they look like? Are they looking ahead? 1972 01:50:58.720 --> 01:51:00.840 Do they get caught in that regard? Same for Vancouver 1973 01:51:00.880 --> 01:51:04.760 in La Galaxy for that matter. Austin in Portland is 1974 01:51:04.760 --> 01:51:07.199 an interesting game to me. I want to see if 1975 01:51:07.239 --> 01:51:10.399 Portland is for real, for real, or if it's just 1976 01:51:10.479 --> 01:51:13.000 been a couple of good games. I still don't know 1977 01:51:13.000 --> 01:51:15.600 how to feel about Austin. I think a lot of 1978 01:51:15.600 --> 01:51:18.640 people have talked about, you know, what Atlanta's spent and 1979 01:51:19.119 --> 01:51:22.079 how they're looking and where it is. I think Austin 1980 01:51:22.119 --> 01:51:23.680 has spent a lot of money as well, and it's 1981 01:51:23.720 --> 01:51:27.039 a very different conversation about them because I haven't seen 1982 01:51:27.039 --> 01:51:30.199 as many of the positives. They've been better defensively, which 1983 01:51:30.520 --> 01:51:33.279 than I expected, but they didn't spend their money defensively 1984 01:51:33.319 --> 01:51:35.399 expect they spent the money to score goals, and they're 1985 01:51:35.399 --> 01:51:37.600 not scoring a lot, and they're being kind of wasteful 1986 01:51:37.640 --> 01:51:40.039 at times in front of goal. So let's see what 1987 01:51:40.079 --> 01:51:44.439 that ends up looking like. But also, you know, I 1988 01:51:44.439 --> 01:51:46.279 think when you look around the league this weekend, you 1989 01:51:46.319 --> 01:51:48.560 have to look at San Jose and DC and the 1990 01:51:48.560 --> 01:51:52.079 reason why it's history. You know, it's Sunday, late afternoon, 1991 01:51:53.760 --> 01:51:57.239 it will be the It's the thirtieth season of Major 1992 01:51:57.279 --> 01:52:01.399 League Soccer, and on April sixth in nineteen ninety the 1993 01:52:01.479 --> 01:52:03.920 league started in San Jose. It was the Clash at 1994 01:52:03.960 --> 01:52:06.359 that point, it wasn't the Earthquakes. Bruce Arena was there. 1995 01:52:06.399 --> 01:52:09.079 He was coaching on the other sideline for DC. So 1996 01:52:09.159 --> 01:52:11.760 that's actually really cool. I think you'll you'll see a 1997 01:52:11.800 --> 01:52:13.840 lot of cool elements with that. That's one that I 1998 01:52:13.960 --> 01:52:17.159 definitely want to watch. I haven't had a chance to 1999 01:52:17.159 --> 01:52:19.680 sit down and watched the mini documentary that came out 2000 01:52:19.760 --> 01:52:24.039 yesterday on Apple TV. I definitely want to spend some 2001 01:52:24.119 --> 01:52:28.600 time with that because, you know, I remember that day 2002 01:52:29.199 --> 01:52:33.640 I was in college at Uga, drove back home to 2003 01:52:33.680 --> 01:52:35.520 watch the game with some of my soccer play and 2004 01:52:35.560 --> 01:52:38.439 friends from high school because it was that big of 2005 01:52:38.479 --> 01:52:43.319 a deal to us that now we were going to 2006 01:52:43.439 --> 01:52:47.079 have a real big league of our own, you know, 2007 01:52:47.119 --> 01:52:49.640 we had. We'd started going to Atlanta Ruckus games the 2008 01:52:49.640 --> 01:52:53.520 season before, we had, you know, started to have a 2009 01:52:53.600 --> 01:52:57.880 little bit of exposure to professional soccer in this country. 2010 01:52:58.079 --> 01:53:03.159 That day changed everything for the game in this country. 2011 01:53:03.199 --> 01:53:05.960 So it's very cool that the league put DC and 2012 01:53:06.039 --> 01:53:10.239 San Jose on that date. I'm glad that they acknowledged it. 2013 01:53:10.239 --> 01:53:13.039 It's very cool and it'll be cool to look back 2014 01:53:13.079 --> 01:53:16.520 at it, because you know, like, I'm not doing what 2015 01:53:16.600 --> 01:53:19.159 I do if that game doesn't happen, if this league 2016 01:53:19.159 --> 01:53:22.800 doesn't happen, We're not hosting a World Cup next year, 2017 01:53:22.920 --> 01:53:25.000 We're not hosting Club World Cup, we don't have Mercedes 2018 01:53:25.039 --> 01:53:28.399 Benz Stadium with soccer in mind, all those things. It 2019 01:53:28.520 --> 01:53:31.920 starts from April sixth, nineteen ninety six, when everything kicked 2020 01:53:31.960 --> 01:53:34.600 off and everybody said that it wasn't going to work, 2021 01:53:34.640 --> 01:53:37.119 And well it's worked pretty. 2022 01:53:36.840 --> 01:53:39.600 Well, I think. So where did you end up watching 2023 01:53:39.640 --> 01:53:41.399 the match? By the way, Oh, at home? 2024 01:53:41.600 --> 01:53:43.920 Just watched it home, Okay, had friends over and watched 2025 01:53:43.920 --> 01:53:48.279 it at my parents' house on Stockbridge. Man, Look that 2026 01:53:48.840 --> 01:53:50.760 that was what we were you know that summer we 2027 01:53:50.880 --> 01:53:56.079 of oh, we went to Damon's in Stockbridge and begged 2028 01:53:56.119 --> 01:53:59.960 them to turn their satellite dishes to whatever sports channel 2029 01:54:00.199 --> 01:54:02.920 Dallas at a game on on a weekend or on 2030 01:54:02.960 --> 01:54:06.039 a midweek. We got to know all the satellite coordinates 2031 01:54:06.079 --> 01:54:09.199 and all the different regional sports networks that Damon's could 2032 01:54:09.239 --> 01:54:10.720 pick up, and we beg them to put it on 2033 01:54:10.720 --> 01:54:13.560 one of the big TVs and uh watch games and 2034 01:54:13.560 --> 01:54:18.399 they hated to see us coming. Wow. We gave them 2035 01:54:18.399 --> 01:54:20.359 some of our money, so it was all good. Uh. 2036 01:54:20.800 --> 01:54:22.600 It's it's been cool to see it grow. 2037 01:54:22.640 --> 01:54:24.520 I mean you think back to that and you always 2038 01:54:24.520 --> 01:54:27.439 have these flashbacks of how things were and you get 2039 01:54:27.479 --> 01:54:30.600 thrown back into a moment. That will be one that 2040 01:54:30.680 --> 01:54:34.319 I will definitely remember sitting and watching that game and 2041 01:54:34.399 --> 01:54:39.079 being so excited to see teams representing US cities in 2042 01:54:39.159 --> 01:54:43.319 a stadium that was full with national team players playing 2043 01:54:43.560 --> 01:54:47.479 and what you dreamed that it could be and it 2044 01:54:47.600 --> 01:54:49.640 surpassed every single bit of it. 2045 01:54:51.239 --> 01:54:55.680 Yes, Damon's a place for ribs, David, Damon's was great. 2046 01:54:55.920 --> 01:54:59.479 Yeah, Damon's had like it was the first like gigantic 2047 01:55:00.720 --> 01:55:05.239 sports bar ish kind of thing like in Atlanta. I 2048 01:55:05.239 --> 01:55:07.800 mean we were on the south side of town in Atlanta. 2049 01:55:07.880 --> 01:55:10.479 You had Jocks and Jill's at that point, but you 2050 01:55:10.520 --> 01:55:14.479 didn't have the gigantic screens that Damon's had. I mean, 2051 01:55:14.520 --> 01:55:16.520 I think most of them had the same kind of format, 2052 01:55:16.840 --> 01:55:20.920 like the one a Stockbridge had four giant screens and 2053 01:55:21.079 --> 01:55:23.199 you had a little audio box at your table and 2054 01:55:23.199 --> 01:55:25.159 you could pick which screen you wanted the audio from. 2055 01:55:25.159 --> 01:55:26.319 Like that was amazing. 2056 01:55:26.359 --> 01:55:28.960 In nineteen ninety six, You're like, what is this technology? 2057 01:55:29.000 --> 01:55:32.520 This is unbelievable. Yeah, it was cool. Yeah, and then the 2058 01:55:32.479 --> 01:55:34.640 food was pretty good. It was pretty good. Yeah, I went. 2059 01:55:34.720 --> 01:55:37.239 I spent a lot of time at the Damon's at Underground, Yes, 2060 01:55:37.479 --> 01:55:38.560 doing the same exact thing. 2061 01:55:38.760 --> 01:55:40.600 Did they have the four giant screens at Underground? 2062 01:55:40.880 --> 01:55:43.520 Yes, okay we had. We had, and we had the 2063 01:55:43.560 --> 01:55:45.920 dial where you could, you know, change it to wherever 2064 01:55:45.960 --> 01:55:48.319 you wanted to. And yeah, we were hounding. We were 2065 01:55:48.359 --> 01:55:51.079 hounding the folks at Damon's Underground trying to get things 2066 01:55:51.119 --> 01:55:53.600 watched on the satellite that everybody else was looking at us. 2067 01:55:53.600 --> 01:55:56.800 Like, here's the satellite coordinates. You're showing two games on 2068 01:55:56.840 --> 01:55:59.239 that on different screens. Put us put the game on 2069 01:55:59.279 --> 01:56:02.159 this one. What is this league? What are you talking about? 2070 01:56:02.640 --> 01:56:02.920 Hello? 2071 01:56:03.119 --> 01:56:03.720 Just please? 2072 01:56:04.239 --> 01:56:08.439 Absolutely true? Yeah, we got the twos this weekend after 2073 01:56:08.800 --> 01:56:12.680 Atlanta United and FC Dallas. It's MESSI and Friends to 2074 01:56:12.840 --> 01:56:14.439 coming to the fraction on Sunday night. 2075 01:56:15.359 --> 01:56:17.520 MESSI and Friends too is not coming. MESSI will not 2076 01:56:17.600 --> 01:56:20.920 be there. He is not sending his kids, He's not 2077 01:56:21.039 --> 01:56:24.319 sending anybody from Messy Land. 2078 01:56:24.399 --> 01:56:26.479 Maybe his bodyguard can come since he's banned from games 2079 01:56:26.520 --> 01:56:30.079 these days sidelines at Kennesaw. It would be great. Yeah, 2080 01:56:30.079 --> 01:56:32.039 it's not. I don't know. 2081 01:56:32.079 --> 01:56:35.000 It's not a good look when the bodyguard is doing media. 2082 01:56:35.680 --> 01:56:37.880 Don't you normally want to be low profile in that 2083 01:56:37.920 --> 01:56:40.800 situation you kind of do. Just saying that seems weird. 2084 01:56:41.079 --> 01:56:42.720 It's all seemed weird. I've kind of stayed away from 2085 01:56:42.720 --> 01:56:45.439 that whole story because of that. But no, it's the 2086 01:56:45.720 --> 01:56:47.760 two's have had a couple of good results but haven't 2087 01:56:47.760 --> 01:56:49.680 gotten enough to show for it, with two two draws 2088 01:56:49.720 --> 01:56:52.000 the last two times out, and there were a lot 2089 01:56:52.039 --> 01:56:54.520 of good things in the game last time against Chattanooga. 2090 01:56:56.279 --> 01:56:58.960 Potential to see some first team guys again who aren't 2091 01:56:58.960 --> 01:57:01.199 getting time. Now that you're getting more guys healthy, I 2092 01:57:01.199 --> 01:57:04.159 think you'll see, you know, guys like came in to 2093 01:57:04.279 --> 01:57:07.960 Gushi or Jamal Tira get runouts with the twos and 2094 01:57:08.479 --> 01:57:10.680 then look that I means Georgie Gonari is going to 2095 01:57:10.760 --> 01:57:13.399 have to produce from the bench or produce in more 2096 01:57:13.439 --> 01:57:15.800 limited minutes, and he did against Chattanooga with a couple 2097 01:57:15.840 --> 01:57:18.520 of good goals. I thout Cooper Sanchez playing next to 2098 01:57:18.560 --> 01:57:21.640 Will Riley. That was very good for Cooper and good 2099 01:57:21.720 --> 01:57:26.039 step in his development. You'll get some of the academy 2100 01:57:26.039 --> 01:57:27.439 guys back in the mix. Had a chance to see 2101 01:57:27.439 --> 01:57:29.520 a little bit of training yesterday. Brandon Dunham, who's got 2102 01:57:29.600 --> 01:57:32.119 off to a great start this season. He was back 2103 01:57:32.159 --> 01:57:36.079 training with the group, John o'ransom and goal. I think 2104 01:57:36.119 --> 01:57:38.399 we'll see him get some games a little bit this 2105 01:57:38.439 --> 01:57:42.479 summer as you rotate guys around. But yeah, looking forward 2106 01:57:42.520 --> 01:57:45.000 to it as always. I mean, if you're excited about 2107 01:57:45.000 --> 01:57:47.920 the Dominic Chong Queen news, you should be paying attention 2108 01:57:47.960 --> 01:57:50.920 to the twos because you'll see the next doms, the 2109 01:57:50.960 --> 01:57:53.960 next Riley's, the next Brennan's. 2110 01:57:53.960 --> 01:57:55.279 You might see Brennan in this one. 2111 01:57:55.399 --> 01:57:59.119 You'll see those next guys coming through this Atlanta United 2112 01:57:59.119 --> 01:58:01.760 two team. And I like to look so far of 2113 01:58:01.840 --> 01:58:04.079 this team. You just want to see it come together 2114 01:58:04.199 --> 01:58:06.720 and get some wins. And get three points instead of 2115 01:58:06.760 --> 01:58:08.279 one and going into a shootout. 2116 01:58:08.319 --> 01:58:13.399 For a second, you mentioned Chattanooga f C. I can't 2117 01:58:13.439 --> 01:58:16.640 let you go without talking about Open Cup and the 2118 01:58:16.640 --> 01:58:20.600 magic of said Open Cup and the absolute craziness of 2119 01:58:20.640 --> 01:58:23.920 this past go around. We now have the round three matchups. 2120 01:58:23.960 --> 01:58:25.840 We talked about them at the beginning, but twelve thousand 2121 01:58:25.840 --> 01:58:28.640 showed up at Fort Finley for Chattanooga Red Wolves and 2122 01:58:28.680 --> 01:58:32.159 Chattanooga f C. El Father Alito was an upset. What'd 2123 01:58:32.159 --> 01:58:34.359 you think about Round two? That's fun? 2124 01:58:34.399 --> 01:58:36.640 I mean the Chattanooga match was a lot of fun 2125 01:58:36.640 --> 01:58:39.600 to watch. You're talking about something that we hadn't seen 2126 01:58:39.680 --> 01:58:44.039 yet and something that one side of it has fought 2127 01:58:44.119 --> 01:58:47.119 against from day one and the other I think is 2128 01:58:47.399 --> 01:58:51.520 just kind of doing their own thing. It's been very 2129 01:58:51.520 --> 01:58:53.479 funny to see how people feel about it, and very 2130 01:58:53.479 --> 01:58:57.279 funny to see what's the socially acceptable way to feel 2131 01:58:57.279 --> 01:58:59.680 about things when you talk about this matchup, which is 2132 01:59:00.720 --> 01:59:04.880 if you know more of the deep dives behind the scenes, 2133 01:59:04.960 --> 01:59:06.079 maybe those things change. 2134 01:59:06.119 --> 01:59:06.640 I don't know. 2135 01:59:08.760 --> 01:59:13.119 Red Wolves one look, you can be romantic about everything 2136 01:59:13.159 --> 01:59:14.960 as much as you want. It was a great crowd 2137 01:59:15.000 --> 01:59:16.439 and full credit to Chattanooga FC. 2138 01:59:16.640 --> 01:59:16.840 For that. 2139 01:59:16.960 --> 01:59:18.920 Finley Stadium is a great place to watch a game. 2140 01:59:18.960 --> 01:59:20.680 I've seen a ton of them there. I've seen a 2141 01:59:20.720 --> 01:59:23.680 ton of Chattanooga FC games. I've been on the opposing 2142 01:59:23.720 --> 01:59:27.840 side of a lot of those games seeing Chattanooga play. 2143 01:59:27.880 --> 01:59:30.239 This is a club that has done a lot of 2144 01:59:30.279 --> 01:59:33.760 really special things, and they created a market that was 2145 01:59:34.239 --> 01:59:37.000 desirable enough for somebody else to come in and want 2146 01:59:37.039 --> 01:59:40.000 to start a team. That's a credit to Chattanooga FC. 2147 01:59:42.520 --> 01:59:47.000 Open market and building markets to build the game. You 2148 01:59:47.119 --> 01:59:49.840 want to see that, and the best teams are going 2149 01:59:49.880 --> 01:59:53.920 to survive. And I think in these situations, and I 2150 01:59:53.960 --> 01:59:58.920 think at times people run from this too much. These 2151 01:59:58.960 --> 02:00:02.520 are the moments that take get to another level. And yes, 2152 02:00:02.680 --> 02:00:06.000 a city like Chattanooga can support two teams at this level. 2153 02:00:07.439 --> 02:00:11.520 Neither one is going to be at a first division 2154 02:00:12.560 --> 02:00:16.119 level in terms of and I know USL, and I 2155 02:00:16.159 --> 02:00:18.960 know promotion, relegation and I know all these things. 2156 02:00:19.640 --> 02:00:20.680 They're not going to be. 2157 02:00:20.800 --> 02:00:25.520 At a first division level of business in terms of 2158 02:00:25.640 --> 02:00:28.279 revenue and potential loss of revenue of having another team 2159 02:00:28.319 --> 02:00:30.640 in their city. As in Atlanta United as an LA 2160 02:00:30.680 --> 02:00:32.880 Galaxy as an LA, Chattanooga is not as big of 2161 02:00:32.920 --> 02:00:35.439 a market, So the dollars and cents are going to 2162 02:00:35.439 --> 02:00:38.000 look different no matter what the certificate on the wall says. 2163 02:00:38.039 --> 02:00:41.039 In terms of the level you're playing at, you can 2164 02:00:41.039 --> 02:00:42.279 support two teams. 2165 02:00:42.359 --> 02:00:43.880 And especially the way that it's set up. 2166 02:00:43.920 --> 02:00:46.600 You've got what the Chattanooga Red Wolves have built in 2167 02:00:46.640 --> 02:00:49.680 East Ridge, literally built it. They built the stadium. It's 2168 02:00:49.680 --> 02:00:52.960 a great stadium to see games. We've been there, really 2169 02:00:53.159 --> 02:00:57.720 enjoy what they've built. In a separate area of that metro, 2170 02:00:58.520 --> 02:01:02.199 Chattanooga FC playing at Finley Stadium, a stadium built for Tennessee. 2171 02:01:02.239 --> 02:01:07.039 Chattanooga Stadium built to host one Double A Football Championship games, 2172 02:01:07.079 --> 02:01:10.479 which they've got plaques on the wall. A stadium that 2173 02:01:10.720 --> 02:01:14.840 is a great asset to the city. I love that 2174 02:01:14.960 --> 02:01:17.239 you have both, and I love that you had both 2175 02:01:17.319 --> 02:01:19.199 represented on this night. You had a lot of red 2176 02:01:19.239 --> 02:01:21.319 Wolves fans there, you had a lot more Chattanooga FC 2177 02:01:21.439 --> 02:01:24.199 fans there. It's one of the biggest attendances that Chattanooga 2178 02:01:24.239 --> 02:01:26.479 FC's ever had, one of their biggest attendances they've had 2179 02:01:26.520 --> 02:01:29.319 in a long time. And you got a great spectacle 2180 02:01:29.720 --> 02:01:32.159 and you got all the stuff in the Shenanigans afterwards, 2181 02:01:32.159 --> 02:01:34.520 and it's great. You know, like that stuff's fun. It 2182 02:01:34.520 --> 02:01:36.720 didn't get out of hand, it didn't get ridiculous. It's 2183 02:01:37.439 --> 02:01:39.920 good that you had friction. It's good that you had 2184 02:01:39.960 --> 02:01:42.319 fans running on the field waving flags. And I mean 2185 02:01:42.359 --> 02:01:44.680 you can't literally plant a flag on a turf field, 2186 02:01:44.680 --> 02:01:48.159 by the way, like that doesn't happen. But the symbolism 2187 02:01:48.279 --> 02:01:50.159 of it, you had fans run out there and nobody 2188 02:01:50.199 --> 02:01:52.359 did anything, and you had Red Wolves players run out 2189 02:01:52.359 --> 02:01:54.279 there with a flag, and everybody wants to push and 2190 02:01:54.279 --> 02:01:56.439 shove and make their statements and do their thing and 2191 02:01:56.520 --> 02:01:59.079 all that, and you know, it is what it is, 2192 02:02:00.119 --> 02:02:03.880 teams moving on and one team's not. And frankly, like 2193 02:02:03.920 --> 02:02:06.239 when you start to get really down to the soccer 2194 02:02:06.279 --> 02:02:08.960 element of it, I think at times and this is 2195 02:02:09.000 --> 02:02:12.079 something that I really really stress and I get a 2196 02:02:12.119 --> 02:02:16.239 little frustrated in the grassroots side of the game in 2197 02:02:16.279 --> 02:02:22.159 that we get so hung up on being trendy or 2198 02:02:22.279 --> 02:02:26.279 being what some people say is cool, or having a 2199 02:02:26.279 --> 02:02:28.880 great logo or having a great T shirt or having 2200 02:02:28.880 --> 02:02:32.239 a great slogan or doing cool social media. I get 2201 02:02:32.239 --> 02:02:34.439 it all that part. It's an element of branding. It's 2202 02:02:34.520 --> 02:02:39.399 very important. You gotta win, you gotta win games. You 2203 02:02:39.399 --> 02:02:43.960 gotta win championships, you gotta win trophies. Why is Atlanta 2204 02:02:44.079 --> 02:02:49.039 united with the expectations that they have because they won 2205 02:02:49.479 --> 02:02:51.760 quickly and now they haven't won in a while and 2206 02:02:51.800 --> 02:02:56.680 people are antsy. Chattanooga has had opportunities to get close 2207 02:02:56.720 --> 02:03:00.880 to winning things. Chattanooga FC, they've had the opportunity to 2208 02:03:00.880 --> 02:03:04.199 get close and they haven't enough. They need to win. 2209 02:03:05.039 --> 02:03:07.039 They're at levels where they can win. You know, we 2210 02:03:07.560 --> 02:03:09.920 have this conversation about forward Madison in US League won 2211 02:03:09.960 --> 02:03:12.479 a lot. They do amazing stuff with their branding. The 2212 02:03:12.800 --> 02:03:16.960 Flamingo stuff is fun, it's great. They do cool jerseys. 2213 02:03:16.960 --> 02:03:19.199 Sometimes they're not so cool, but they do a million 2214 02:03:19.279 --> 02:03:23.039 of them. Yes, they have more jerseys than wins. Like, 2215 02:03:23.560 --> 02:03:26.039 what are we doing with that? Like, it's got to 2216 02:03:26.079 --> 02:03:29.880 be about the soccer and it's not about the posturing. 2217 02:03:30.600 --> 02:03:34.279 It's not about the branding. To me, that's part of 2218 02:03:34.319 --> 02:03:38.880 it that can get you off the ground. You're soccer club. 2219 02:03:39.560 --> 02:03:42.039 The soccer has to back it up. And we go 2220 02:03:42.079 --> 02:03:46.560 back to the beginning of the conversation. There is no 2221 02:03:46.720 --> 02:03:50.319 reason why you shouldn't see more players being developed in 2222 02:03:50.479 --> 02:03:53.199 these markets outside of costs and outside of resources. And 2223 02:03:53.239 --> 02:03:56.680 that's real. But when you're building a club, you have 2224 02:03:56.720 --> 02:04:02.600 to think about building players, building teams and winning trophies. 2225 02:04:03.720 --> 02:04:06.560 That's why you do this, not to sell t shirts. 2226 02:04:07.880 --> 02:04:10.760 You want to sell some along the way, but that 2227 02:04:10.840 --> 02:04:15.279 can't be the priority. It can't be the we're better 2228 02:04:15.359 --> 02:04:18.439 than you, because we are whatever we say we are, 2229 02:04:18.560 --> 02:04:22.000 we're authentic, Whe're this where that no no, no, no, win 2230 02:04:22.840 --> 02:04:27.239 win stuff. That's what's going to determine it. And if 2231 02:04:27.279 --> 02:04:31.359 you come in and you win this game, you get 2232 02:04:31.359 --> 02:04:34.079 to talk for a little while. And there was a 2233 02:04:34.079 --> 02:04:37.840 lot of talk for a lot of years about one 2234 02:04:37.880 --> 02:04:39.239 club being inferior to the other. 2235 02:04:40.199 --> 02:04:41.439 Well, the first time. 2236 02:04:41.319 --> 02:04:46.720 They met, the red team won. So now the Blue 2237 02:04:46.720 --> 02:04:50.039 team pick themselves up, go have a great season in MLS, 2238 02:04:50.039 --> 02:04:53.560 next pro, make the playoffs, make a run, try to 2239 02:04:53.560 --> 02:04:57.399 win a trophy, develop some players, continue planting your roots 2240 02:04:57.399 --> 02:04:59.560 that you've been doing since two thousand and nine. And 2241 02:05:00.199 --> 02:05:02.640 time you play in a game that matters against the 2242 02:05:02.640 --> 02:05:07.039 red team from East Ridge, beat them and then you 2243 02:05:07.079 --> 02:05:09.439 can talk and talk and do it. And then the 2244 02:05:09.479 --> 02:05:11.399 Red team's got to pick themselves up and we continue 2245 02:05:11.399 --> 02:05:13.159 and that's that's the beauty of it, right. 2246 02:05:14.000 --> 02:05:15.039 But it's about the soccer. 2247 02:05:15.800 --> 02:05:18.800 Too often in the lower divisions, we get too hung 2248 02:05:18.880 --> 02:05:21.359 up on having a cool brand, selling a cool T 2249 02:05:21.520 --> 02:05:26.479 shirt but now a nice scarf, having a crazy jersey. Win, 2250 02:05:27.880 --> 02:05:31.920 develop players and grow the game, not grow the T shirt. 2251 02:05:32.159 --> 02:05:34.399 Grow the game. That's what I want to see more of. 2252 02:05:34.560 --> 02:05:37.039 And Chattanooga is a prime example where they've grown the game. 2253 02:05:37.399 --> 02:05:39.560 But at times it gets a little too hung up 2254 02:05:39.560 --> 02:05:42.279 on posturing about what's cool and what's not cool, and 2255 02:05:42.319 --> 02:05:44.159 it just needs to be about You got two teams 2256 02:05:44.840 --> 02:05:48.520 that are both at the third division level in a 2257 02:05:48.640 --> 02:05:51.359 great soccer market that yes, one's been there longer than 2258 02:05:51.399 --> 02:05:54.399 the other, and you had an amazing spectacle with so 2259 02:05:54.479 --> 02:05:59.159 many eyeballs on it from around the country. Capitalize on that. 2260 02:05:59.640 --> 02:06:03.079 Go get better players, go build better teams, Go win trophies. 2261 02:06:04.000 --> 02:06:07.960 That's it. Our weekend starts later today. As a matter 2262 02:06:08.039 --> 02:06:09.640 of fact, when it comes to. 2263 02:06:09.439 --> 02:06:13.840 It, never stops. John, weekend is week It's all the same. 2264 02:06:13.920 --> 02:06:17.199 At this point, Yes, my weekend already started. I was 2265 02:06:17.199 --> 02:06:19.680 I've already been to the Bens and back. That's true. 2266 02:06:20.560 --> 02:06:23.000 You were there for you were doing some really cool 2267 02:06:23.039 --> 02:06:24.199 stuff with the Premier League side. 2268 02:06:24.439 --> 02:06:28.199 I met a mascot. Literally, we got pictures to shoot 2269 02:06:28.239 --> 02:06:30.960 to prove it. Okay, there is a mascot now the 2270 02:06:31.000 --> 02:06:35.279 SDH Network and nineteen nine a game good interview with 2271 02:06:35.319 --> 02:06:38.279 Carlton Cole west Ham legend.

Really cool to see west 2276 02:06:51.279 --> 02:06:54.239 Ham coming to pay us a visit. Of a lot 2277 02:06:54.239 --> 02:06:56.439 of people are coming to pay us a visit over 2278 02:06:56.479 --> 02:06:59.840 the next few years, with a World Cup coming, with 2279 02:06:59.880 --> 02:07:02.560 a Club World Cup coming, with Premier League Summer series coming, 2280 02:07:04.279 --> 02:07:07.399 just like what Chattanooga's building and being a great soccer 2281 02:07:07.479 --> 02:07:10.239 town in the United States, and no offense Chattanooga. I'm 2282 02:07:10.239 --> 02:07:12.520 not saying that in a derogatory way. Please don't do it. 2283 02:07:12.640 --> 02:07:13.439 Atlanta's bigger. 2284 02:07:13.439 --> 02:07:14.439 It just is. 2285 02:07:14.960 --> 02:07:18.479 But Chattanooga has shown that you can build a lot 2286 02:07:18.479 --> 02:07:20.960 of really cool things in soccer in the Southeast, and 2287 02:07:21.000 --> 02:07:24.239 Atlanta has done the same, different scale. But yes, so 2288 02:07:24.479 --> 02:07:26.039 Atlanta is going to get a lot of visits, and 2289 02:07:26.039 --> 02:07:27.600 I think Chattanooga's going to get a lot of visits 2290 02:07:27.640 --> 02:07:29.359 off of that too, just like I think Dalton's going 2291 02:07:29.399 --> 02:07:31.000 to get a lot of visits, and Gainesville is going 2292 02:07:31.039 --> 02:07:33.199 to get a lot of visits, and Greenville is going 2293 02:07:33.279 --> 02:07:35.079 to benefit from me. You got Ronald Daniel hanging out 2294 02:07:35.079 --> 02:07:37.439 in Greenville. I mean, come on, these things are cool. 2295 02:07:37.880 --> 02:07:40.359 So you're going to have a lot of people come 2296 02:07:40.399 --> 02:07:42.560 in to pay visits.
