Speaker 1: So that means that since it is ten o'clock, we
Speaker 1: do the hot tag and we bring in Dylan Butler
Speaker 1: and we find out was so uh I heard that
Speaker 1: Newcastle might be changing their crest.
Speaker 2: They're going they might be going away.
Speaker 1: They're going away from what they currently have for something
Speaker 1: that is probably more marketable and easier to turn. I
Speaker 1: think when it comes to selling gear, did you see this?
Speaker 3: I didn't know, and I don't know. They don't. They
Speaker 3: don't seem to have a problem selling gear to the
Speaker 3: hardcore fans. I guess they're trying to get new audiences,
Speaker 3: as you know, marketing execs. I guess we'll do. But yes,
Speaker 3: and so manage, by the way, tend to be uh
Speaker 3: spoiler free. Oh so, as I said, I I was
Speaker 3: on the last match night cover right, yeah, I think
Speaker 3: ended around one or so one one, and and that
Speaker 3: match was the seven o'clock one against Chelsea, right, huge one. Right,
Speaker 3: So uh you know, hit hit the DVR the key,
Speaker 3: here's the key to this whole thing. Okay, stayed off
Speaker 3: my phone the entire time, so I slept and soil
Speaker 3: whenever I slept until watched the match. Kept Actually I
Speaker 3: didn't even have the phone like instead of like I
Speaker 3: didn't have it upright, I had it down. Oh wow, yeah,
Speaker 3: like no one is there. Could have been like uh,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know anything. It could have been happening.
Speaker 3: I was watching I was watching the Newcastle Chelsea match.
Speaker 2: So oh man, a little.
Speaker 3: More manageable Sunday.
Speaker 2: It's eleven thirty, yeah, Arsenal, Yeah, absolutely true.
Speaker 1: Uh when you look right now as we are at
Speaker 1: Major League Soccer and the chaos, I mean, obviously we
Speaker 1: had Tyler on to start things off here on Wednesdays
Speaker 1: as we always do and discussing it.
Speaker 3: How was then he comes on here and drinks. Is
Speaker 3: that what happened around?
Speaker 2: No? No, he said that.
Speaker 1: Well, I mean he had that might be you know,
Speaker 1: happy to do that sometimes considering what's been going on
Speaker 1: here in Atlanta this year. But you know, they do
Speaker 1: watch alongs and so as a part of their you know,
Speaker 1: as a part of their external programming, and so they're
Speaker 1: doing it their watch along tonight, where if you dumped
Speaker 1: out whatever the contents of your alcohol were on the
Speaker 1: sidewalk in Austin, it would instantly turn into smoke. So
Speaker 1: nothing like the one hundred and twelve degree temperatures that
Speaker 1: are going to be going on tonight for Atlanta and Austin.
Speaker 1: We were getting in, we were getting into the watch
Speaker 1: alongs and things. Right now it's a key time. You
Speaker 1: got three matches in a week for the first of three,
Speaker 1: it's like in two of three weeks, you've got three
Speaker 1: matches in a week. You get to the halfway point
Speaker 1: of the season and you're kind of staring at right
Speaker 1: now stuff in the midweek, and you got some teams
Speaker 1: that are you got some teams in the West that
Speaker 1: are hurting. You got some teams in the East, including
Speaker 1: Atlanta that are hurting, and some of the standard names
Speaker 1: in the the East and the West. But everybody's looking
Speaker 1: at Vancouver and are we are we to the point
Speaker 1: now at Vancouver where it's we're stopping waiting for the
Speaker 1: other shoe to drop and just accepting them for where
Speaker 1: they are, that they've only lost once in their first
Speaker 1: twelve and that they're that they're right now. Uh, don't wish,
Speaker 1: don't wish it because it ain't happening right now.
Speaker 2: When it comes to down, you know, be.
Speaker 3: Funny, right like if if Ryan Gold comes back and
Speaker 3: then instantly like they start losing and like like, oh,
Speaker 3: it's actually not having Ryan Gold was was what was helping. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean, listen, it's uh, it's remarkable, Like it's not.
Speaker 3: I thought a year ago they were that team maybe
Speaker 3: just below or like their best the best version of
Speaker 3: themselves was was maybe like a tier below the elite teams,
Speaker 3: but that was like where they were gonna top off at.
Speaker 3: And again, you know, I feel like, you know, outside
Speaker 3: of maybe people in Vancouver, you know, I was, I
Speaker 3: was one of their biggest supporters around, you know, and
Speaker 3: we had this conversation back when Ryan Gold was even signed.
Speaker 3: I thought he was it was a great signing. I
Speaker 3: thought it was crazy underrated. I thought Brian White was underrated.
Speaker 3: You know. I don't know if it was a situation
Speaker 3: where they're just like out in the West coast, right
Speaker 3: they played these late night matches for us on the
Speaker 3: East coast. But but yeah, man, like they it's it's crazy,
Speaker 3: like it's not. It defies for a league that is
Speaker 3: as illogical as MLS is, as it defies logic, Like
Speaker 3: I mean, the parts of their like it makes like
Speaker 3: it makes sense when you look at it, but it
Speaker 3: defies logic that they have made such a leap into
Speaker 3: now becoming this team that is, you know, challenging for
Speaker 3: uh points, you know, records for Conka CAF champion, like
Speaker 3: they're the best team you know on on on this
Speaker 3: side of the world, Like I don't know, it's.
Speaker 1: Wild, Yeah, I mean, and you know, we're we're never
Speaker 1: wanted to dial up the hype machine here, but if
Speaker 1: you were to, if this pace we're to maintain, you'd
Speaker 1: be finishing with eighty one points for Vancouver. If you
Speaker 1: kept this pace up for an entire season, thirty six matches,
Speaker 1: you'd be you'd be at eighty eighty one points. So
Speaker 1: uh slightly average year in Vancouver where there are some
Speaker 1: players who I'm sure are not even household names in
Speaker 1: their own household. And then you look at Minnesota who
Speaker 1: is currently second, and they're the model of consistency three
Speaker 1: to one and two both at the home and on
Speaker 1: the road. And Eric Ramsey basically is just like, what
Speaker 1: is that circular thing that we're supposed to play with
Speaker 1: lowest possession numbers in Major League soccer because of how
Speaker 1: he wants to do things. But you're clinical and you're
Speaker 1: finishing and you want that regardless. But you've got great
Speaker 1: you've got great defense, Dan Saint Clair, and that you
Speaker 1: might possess the ball thirty five percent of the time
Speaker 1: if you're lucky. And everybody keeps looking at those numbers
Speaker 1: and it's like, how is that sustainable? But so far
Speaker 1: it's been sustainable for Minnesota in one of the more
Speaker 1: odd approaches that we've seen in quite some time, and
Speaker 1: trying to win matches.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and it's not. It's not the energy drink soccer
Speaker 3: ball as Cootie style. So listen, I love it. I mean,
Speaker 3: you know it's it's and we've said this also before.
Speaker 3: I feel like it's it's part of the evolution of
Speaker 3: this league where you've got different playing styles and different
Speaker 3: ways and you know, it's it's it's not a you know,
Speaker 3: it's it's it's not a one way to play league, right,
Speaker 3: So I think I think, you know, styles make fights,
Speaker 3: and I think that's that's what makes it great. Right,
Speaker 3: Like you you you go into it and you think
Speaker 3: about a chess match, right, a team that you know
Speaker 3: what happens when they you know, when they play Philly, right,
Speaker 3: like who's gonna nobody, Nobody wants the ball.
Speaker 1: It's just It's like pong in the old days. Just
Speaker 1: send it, just send it, and it just goes back
Speaker 1: and forth the entire time.
Speaker 3: It is another one too, like if you want to go,
Speaker 3: I can't. Like obviously, now Brian White isn't on the
Speaker 3: all Underrated team, but Robin Lude is another one too.
Speaker 3: Who I think you know, maybe he doesn't get enough
Speaker 3: credit for what he does.
Speaker 1: Okay, since you've gone down this road and we're at
Speaker 1: the one third pole, who would be who else would
Speaker 1: be on your Dylan Butler all Underrated Team?
Speaker 3: Oh jeez, I haven't even of course I bring it up,
Speaker 3: but I hadn't. I haven't really rolled.
Speaker 1: Up all right, Well, then write it down for next week.
Speaker 1: Ye all Underrated team from Dylan Butler at the one
Speaker 1: third mark. But yeah, I mean San Diego has maintained,
Speaker 1: they have sustained, and everybody's sitting there going, okay, we
Speaker 1: thought that after the hot start and to your point
Speaker 1: about you know, to your point about Ryan Gold.
Speaker 2: You know, Chuky Lozano.
Speaker 1: The Chuky gets injured in the first home match and
Speaker 1: they continue to play well, and then you're thinking, okay,
Speaker 1: well maybe maybe Chukey can you kind of stay injured
Speaker 1: for a little bit, well, you know, they're sea legs
Speaker 1: unders and then they kind.
Speaker 3: Of Dryers become the like, excuse me, before the start
Speaker 3: of the year, you'd been like, yep, clearly the best
Speaker 3: DP in San Diego is is Chooky and Dryer has been.
Speaker 1: Yes, and so he has been a mainstay on my
Speaker 1: fantasy team. Full disclosure, there you go. So you know
Speaker 1: it's they regress to the mean a little bit. They
Speaker 1: tried to build through the spine, and now San Diego
Speaker 1: seems to have kind of come back to It's like, okay,
Speaker 1: we took that first body shot and now we're you know,
Speaker 1: we caught our breath a little bit, and now we're
Speaker 1: getting back to being adjusted in the league, in the
Speaker 1: Western Conference.
Speaker 2: And I think that outside.
Speaker 1: Of you know, one and two, I think that three
Speaker 1: through seven, if not eight, I think it's just gonna
Speaker 1: be one of those street fights for the rest of
Speaker 1: the year where you're gonna see somebody have a good week,
Speaker 1: whether it's Portland or Seattle or LAFC. And then they're
Speaker 1: gonna hop up, and then someone else hops up. And
Speaker 1: so I think that the West just for the casual observer.
Speaker 1: If you take if you take Minnesota out, and if
Speaker 1: you take you take Vancouver out, then I think that
Speaker 1: it's gonna be fun to see three through nine, at
Speaker 1: least in the Western Conference.
Speaker 2: But because of how much chaos it could be for.
Speaker 3: Sure, you know, in Seattle, Seattle getting results with you know,
Speaker 3: without their main stars who are hurt, right, that's impressive.
Speaker 3: Apparently Roy Kent is doing it right from coming from England, Portland,
Speaker 3: you know, getting results as as as well. So yeah,
Speaker 3: I think I think, you know, that's another fun part
Speaker 3: of this league as well. It's it's uh, you know,
Speaker 3: there isn't It's maddening for a fan, no doubt, but
Speaker 3: there isn't that super consistency week to week where you know, yeah,
Speaker 3: I mean it. It is a roller coaster a bit
Speaker 3: right among these teams, you know, with the exception, I guess,
Speaker 3: have the very good and the very and the very bad.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so all right, so since you mentioned the very bad,
Speaker 1: it is stunning to see how Schleprock seems to have
Speaker 1: taken over in Carson, California. And it's it's like one
Speaker 1: thing or another and it's an own goal and yamane
Speaker 1: face turns into also.
Speaker 3: A spectacular goal. Yes, and It wasn't like a deflection
Speaker 3: off of a heel off of a free kick like
Speaker 3: this was. This was like I am going to put
Speaker 3: this ball into my own net.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and it is.
Speaker 1: You know, you I don't know if you can sit
Speaker 1: there and go, well, you know, this might be the
Speaker 1: this might be how one player does in fact make
Speaker 1: a difference.
Speaker 3: But you can't be it's not on one guy.
Speaker 2: It can't be anymore well, and I know that that's
Speaker 2: the thing.
Speaker 1: It's like you look at it and you're like, well,
Speaker 1: you thought that it was going to be, you know,
Speaker 1: no offense and not having Ricky put was gonna lend
Speaker 1: itself to the rough start while they were trying to
Speaker 1: figure out what was going on, and uh, Joseph painTill
Speaker 1: was trying to come back and get healthy. So you
Speaker 1: might have had one and a half of your killer pees.
Speaker 1: But then painTill comes back and then it turns into
Speaker 1: what it is and it's not improving, and it just
Speaker 1: seems like, uh, this literally is like droopy Dog and
Speaker 1: Schleprock and you know, the in the black cloud and
Speaker 1: everything is hanging over Carson, California, and you know, you
Speaker 1: send the Goodyear blimp up from next door, and it could,
Speaker 1: you know, blow the fans as much as humanly possible
Speaker 1: to try to send that marine layer away.
Speaker 2: And it ain't happening right now. It is just bad.
Speaker 2: It's a bad scene.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I will I will agree with Greg Vanny and
Speaker 3: in in in this one point that obviously, if you
Speaker 3: take away three designated players off of any team, they're
Speaker 3: not nearly what that team should be.
Speaker 2: M hm.
Speaker 3: That said, and every team deals with injuries, and I'm
Speaker 3: sure there's been a few teams who have been without
Speaker 3: all three dp's over the course of the last year
Speaker 3: or two. But those teams also don't lose seven nil. Uh,
Speaker 3: you know, they don't. They don't get off to a
Speaker 3: to a winless in twelve like it's not they don't
Speaker 3: go to get to historic lows. Right, That's that is
Speaker 3: exclusively in lag thing right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it is.
Speaker 1: Oh, I don't know, I know, we run we run
Speaker 1: out of things to say, almost and it's like you're
Speaker 1: to the point where.
Speaker 3: You're almost now they're in Philly tonight.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and so and it's like you're you're in Philly
Speaker 1: and we ran through the schedule and it's like there
Speaker 1: was a match I think it was. I think RSL
Speaker 1: was coming late in the month, and I thought that
Speaker 1: that might be the first opportunity for a win is
Speaker 1: later this month, and your first win would come at
Speaker 1: the halfway point.
Speaker 2: Of the season.
Speaker 1: That that is, it's literally you're you're to the point
Speaker 1: where you're trying to find the live chicken at this point.
Speaker 3: Yeah. And and you're in Philly tonight, and and the
Speaker 3: weather is going to be god awful the soccer might
Speaker 3: be as well. Uh, and then you go home for
Speaker 3: TRAFFICO like to fit to like and and look, you
Speaker 3: know with uh, you know, like I'm I think we've
Speaker 3: said this, like I'm I'm like, I'm a fan of
Speaker 3: those kind of a little bit under the radar rivalry games,
Speaker 3: you know, like I love I love Rocky Mountain Cup,
Speaker 3: I love the Canadian Classic. But look, traffic, Oh, is
Speaker 3: that top rivalry?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: I do not rem member there being usually those teams
Speaker 3: are fairly in the same area, right in the same
Speaker 3: zip code. Yeah, I mean it's it's not even close
Speaker 3: right now, Like it's been historically bad and it doesn't
Speaker 3: it doesn't look like it's getting any better.
Speaker 1: I mean, you've got somebody who's getting curb service from
Speaker 1: the valet, and then you've got somebody who's like parked
Speaker 1: in like the fourth sub basement trying to figure out
Speaker 1: where the car is.
Speaker 2: I mean, it's can you get the car to start?
Speaker 2: Oh it's yeah, bird poop.
Speaker 3: It's got flyers all over it, like that park here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and all the all the boot on the tire,
Speaker 1: all the tickets that.
Speaker 2: Got from sitting there, you know.
Speaker 1: And you can't you can't bring the record down to
Speaker 1: the sub basement to get it because the record can't
Speaker 1: navigate all that space.
Speaker 3: You have to have the trophy in the trunk.
Speaker 2: And yeah, it's like a crow bar.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like then there's like like a seven iron
Speaker 1: that's like one of those old per Semon woods.
Speaker 2: It's kind of hanging out of the back seat, you know.
Speaker 2: Just uh it is.
Speaker 1: I cannot remember a team that was as successful as
Speaker 1: it was the year before, completely and totally just falling
Speaker 1: down on itself and tripping down the stairs as much
Speaker 1: as we've seen Lag do this year.
Speaker 3: He's funny too, because like Red Bull, the previous time
Speaker 3: they made MLS Cup, they did so like I think
Speaker 3: they made the playoffs the last day of the regular seasons,
Speaker 3: like they weren't like super great during the year and
Speaker 3: then the year after they made MLS Cup they were horrible.
Speaker 3: But like they weren't very good the year before either,
Speaker 3: like they just happened to kind of trip into the
Speaker 3: playoffs and and and get on a get on a
Speaker 3: a hot streak a little bit and and fortunes went
Speaker 3: their way. But the next year, you know, they they made, uh,
Speaker 3: they made Champions League and they dropped. They lost to
Speaker 3: W Connection from from snad W Connection. Wow. I went,
Speaker 3: I went to I went to that, I went to
Speaker 3: that away match actually nice and Marabella Trinidad nice.
Speaker 2: That's that's strong. Uh.
Speaker 1: By the way, says Luis Marlow has released in the
Speaker 1: last couple of minutes that Domi Torn is not going
Speaker 1: to be Chievas as new coach. Negotiations between Chievas and
Speaker 1: Domy Torent have fallen through after he left h I
Speaker 1: thought to go San Luis last couple of weeks ago.
Speaker 1: So can confirmed Torant's arrival at Chievas is completely off
Speaker 1: the table. Difficulties in reaching an agreement and so now
Speaker 1: it could be that Domiye Torent might be going to
Speaker 1: Ariados de Monterrey. He and Gabriel Milito are the two
Speaker 1: big contenders to take over that gig.
Speaker 3: So that why why maybe maybe maybe cash is the answer,
Speaker 3: but oh, I'm sure I would anyone want to be
Speaker 3: a head coach, uh for for Legams team.
Speaker 1: That's that's that's the issue, because the churn rate is
Speaker 1: very high. I mean literally, you're going into that anticipating
Speaker 1: getting sacked. So you are going in there for a
Speaker 1: cash grab because there is no sense of stability in Legamakis.
Speaker 1: And so that's uh, never.
Speaker 3: Mind buying a house. You'ren't even renting a house. Well,
Speaker 3: you're in a hotel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's like I'm doing the weekly hotel thing and
Speaker 1: it's all it's all there that that ain't happening for me.
Speaker 1: So uh yeah, that's just that, uh ah, that ain't there.
Speaker 1: Uh juice boxes. Tonight, we did mention a couple of
Speaker 1: other matches. We did mention a couple of matches out
Speaker 1: of the blocks. Uh, NYC is an underdog at DC United.
Speaker 1: NYC is almost a plus two hundred in the composite
Speaker 1: going up against the DC United, who is a plus
Speaker 1: one twenty.
Speaker 2: That seems like a rather large margin, sir.
Speaker 3: Yeah, again, I don't.
Speaker 2: Folks about this.
Speaker 3: They seem to recommend make during on Major League Soccer.
Speaker 1: No Orlando and Charlotte. Orlando is a purple team is
Speaker 1: a minus one twenty and Charlotte is a plus a
Speaker 1: three to four in the composite. I don't think we
Speaker 1: could have an MLS match day without either wil Saha
Speaker 1: or Dean Smith yelling into the breeze, and they get
Speaker 1: to do it now with the purple team as a
Speaker 1: decided underdog tonight.
Speaker 2: What do you think.
Speaker 3: I think that's an interesting match, you know, it's one
Speaker 3: of the especially I think for the early kickoffs. I
Speaker 3: think that's what I'm going to keep an eye out for,
Speaker 3: just out of curiosity. I mean, one, it's kind of
Speaker 3: like what are what Orlando is?
Speaker 2: Well?
Speaker 3: I mean, what of either team is showing up?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 3: Like what Orlando is showing up? They were the team
Speaker 3: that couldn't get scored on for like five straight games.
Speaker 3: They didn't do a lot of scoring themselves, and then
Speaker 3: and then then you just get into this like drunk
Speaker 3: match with with New England where they both you know,
Speaker 3: it was like six goals combined. So I don't know
Speaker 3: what to expect out of that one. You know, Charlotte
Speaker 3: on the road isn't Charlotte at home clearly, but I
Speaker 3: could see why Orlando obviously would be would be a
Speaker 3: favorite there. I mean, you know, Philly, Philly l a
Speaker 3: for obvious reasons. Is you know you you you watch
Speaker 3: that one out of curiosity.
Speaker 1: Lag is a plus four hundred. By the way, eight
Speaker 1: touching that one for nothing?
Speaker 2: Is that?
Speaker 3: Is that how many goals too? That they're expected to
Speaker 3: plus four hundred?
Speaker 1: That's I mean, Philly's a minus one fifty nine, Draws
Speaker 1: a plus three oh one, and Lag is a plus
Speaker 1: four hundred. Uh, Cincinnati's at Toronto. They're favored on the road,
Speaker 1: which I find interesting because traditionally folks going up to
Speaker 1: Bemo you always end up as a dog, even though
Speaker 1: you would be the favorite on paper. But they never
Speaker 1: played the games on paper, as we are told. Minnesota
Speaker 1: at Houston, Minnesota's favored on the road of the plus
Speaker 1: one forty eight. Nashville and Red Bulls at g Otis
Speaker 1: at eight thirty. Nashville's a minus one twenty two, red
Speaker 1: Bulls almost a plus three hundred.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean that's that's another one. I think that
Speaker 3: that's interesting, you know, with obviously read but coming off
Speaker 3: that historic win, they go to they go to Nashville. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I think that's the one to watch as well. I mean, unfortunately,
Speaker 3: the only like rivalry week match of the midweek is
Speaker 3: you know, two teams that aren't really playing too well
Speaker 3: right now, right Saint Louis and SKC.
Speaker 1: You're not in Kansas anymore. I've seen the billboard in
Speaker 1: the scarf. I know how that works.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so Nashville in Atlanta.
Speaker 3: By the way, I know you I'm sure you know.
Speaker 3: I just jams down here, but I'm sure this has
Speaker 3: been part of the cars. You've got to win that game, yep, right,
Speaker 3: Like you have to win that game, yep.
Speaker 1: Like, and we you know you're like we mentioned that
Speaker 1: you you have five matches left in May. It's a
Speaker 1: it's a three matches in seven days. Then you play
Speaker 1: like on Sunday, and then you end up with three
Speaker 1: matches in seven days to wrap up the month. And
Speaker 1: you've got to start, you know, if you're serious about
Speaker 1: making a push and not being like Zombie Sounders or
Speaker 1: something like that, independent of a Zombie Sounders like move,
Speaker 1: then this would be one of those matches to do it.
Speaker 2: In considering that Austin doesn't score and.
Speaker 3: Hasn't Philly's coming into town, right, So yeah.
Speaker 1: So you've got to you've got to you've got to
Speaker 1: figure out a way to put it away so you
Speaker 1: can be ready even though you're injury depleted at the
Speaker 1: moment at the back, and then get ready for Philly
Speaker 1: coming in on the weekend. So there's all the things
Speaker 1: that are coming together. Uh So, yeah, all Caps and sporting.
Speaker 1: All Caps are favored at a minus one oh one.
Speaker 1: Austin is a plus one oh six, hosting atlandy and
Speaker 1: ied at the plus two twenty three. RSL is hosting Portland.
Speaker 1: RSL is a plus one oh four, and Portland is
Speaker 1: a plus two thirds four draws a plus two seventy three.
Speaker 1: In the composite, I would probably end up taking the
Speaker 1: over in that one and not and not staying close
Speaker 1: to a total or you know, one way or the other.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking at goals scored in that one, not
Speaker 1: necessarily a winner in that one.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a fair shout. I think that's got the
Speaker 3: that's got the possibility for uh, I don't know, three
Speaker 3: to two, maybe.
Speaker 1: Well, a little after darkness, a little ms after darkness,
Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot.
Speaker 3: Of heat on the after darkness. You know when you
Speaker 3: look down at the at the games, you're about to.
Speaker 2: Mention LAFC and Seattle.
Speaker 1: Laf C is favorite of the plus one ten draw
Speaker 1: in Seattle, basically a plus two forty four in the composite,
Speaker 1: pretty much the same thing. Well, you think about LAFC
Speaker 1: and Seattle more goals as opposed to picking a team.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that's the I think that is the
Speaker 3: match of the match night. Okay, you know, I think
Speaker 3: I think I think both teams are going well right now.
Speaker 3: You know, it's it's that whole you know, I mean
Speaker 3: Seattle Seattle kind of it's been there Boogeyman a little bit,
Speaker 3: although they they solve that, you know, the end of
Speaker 3: their they're losing streak or they're winless streak against them.
Speaker 3: But you know, both team's playing well right now. I
Speaker 3: mean obviously, look, there's a lot of eyes. Will also
Speaker 3: be in San Jose in another one too. I don't
Speaker 3: know what the over is there, but that could that
Speaker 3: could see one of those you pick as well.
Speaker 1: Okay, so we will skip San Diego and Colorado for
Speaker 1: the moment. So we will go to the total in
Speaker 1: that match for San Jose and Messi and Friends. Over
Speaker 1: under three and a half is a plus one thirteen.
Speaker 2: That's low.
Speaker 1: Over under four and a half is a plus two
Speaker 1: fifty four. So if you're looking at something three two ish,
Speaker 1: you could jump on it basically at a plus two
Speaker 1: fifty and go over four and a half at plus
Speaker 1: two fifty four.
