It's another week of sdh AM Soccer's 7 00:00:43.719 --> 00:00:48.520 morning show. And today, well we'll kind of catch up 8 00:00:48.520 --> 00:00:51.320 over the weekend. There's a lot of morning news, especially 9 00:00:51.399 --> 00:00:55.880 going on overseas in England, with coaches shifting and players 10 00:00:55.880 --> 00:00:58.880 shifting and stuff like that that we'll get into. We 11 00:00:59.000 --> 00:01:03.000 know a champion chip game from a couple of semi 12 00:01:03.000 --> 00:01:05.680 finals that happened this weekend. We'll kind of track it 13 00:01:05.760 --> 00:01:08.159 and let you know what it's going to look like. 14 00:01:08.239 --> 00:01:11.159 Two teams in Florida playing for a championship in one 15 00:01:11.239 --> 00:01:14.760 of the women's leagues. We'll have your defining moments from 16 00:01:14.959 --> 00:01:18.760 those matchups coming up here in our number one. Obviously 17 00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:21.040 here at our number one, we'll catch up with Abe Gordon. 18 00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:28.359 Abe is multitasking, so you have if you have multiple 19 00:01:28.359 --> 00:01:31.840 devices going on right now, you might be hearing Abe 20 00:01:31.840 --> 00:01:34.680 doing more than one thing. So Abe is on tape. 21 00:01:34.879 --> 00:01:37.000 We caught up with Abe. We'll play him here in 22 00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:39.040 just a little bit, get you ready. As a bat's 23 00:01:39.079 --> 00:01:43.719 lead off on Mondays, Ricky's already jacked up and excited 24 00:01:43.719 --> 00:01:47.599 about the contract renewal of a particular individual at Al Nasser, 25 00:01:48.239 --> 00:01:51.040 So Ricky's in this morning very very early with what's 26 00:01:51.079 --> 00:01:54.480 going on there Nations League. We do have some fun 27 00:01:54.560 --> 00:01:58.599 math involving our friends from San Marino and qualification for 28 00:01:58.879 --> 00:02:02.719 the World Cup, which we think was rather unique and interesting, 29 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:06.519 and so there's irony that's attached to that. If you 30 00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.360 caught up with morning Espresso, you know that there are 31 00:02:09.400 --> 00:02:13.960 coaching changes going on and coaching desires that might be happening. So, 32 00:02:14.199 --> 00:02:15.840 like I said, there's a lot going on in the 33 00:02:16.000 --> 00:02:20.199 news department. Abes is more philosophical or we get you 34 00:02:20.240 --> 00:02:22.240 ready for what's going to be going down on Thursday. 35 00:02:22.280 --> 00:02:23.680 We'll see if we can catch up with our buddy 36 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:26.960 Glenn Crooks between now and then and give the NYCFC 37 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.439 version of preparation for a match up Thursday night in 38 00:02:30.479 --> 00:02:33.560 the Bronx on ninety two nine in the Game of 39 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.840 the Odyssey app as everybody tries to race back from 40 00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:41.319 national team duty, where you've seen a lot of folks 41 00:02:41.360 --> 00:02:47.400 for at Land United score goals and be active regardless 42 00:02:47.439 --> 00:02:49.520 of what level they are when it comes to it. 43 00:02:49.639 --> 00:02:52.639 Landy United, So we'll see what happens there once again, 44 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:55.120 is the race is on. You have one more match 45 00:02:55.840 --> 00:02:59.840 in the international window, mostly tomorrow. Some of them are 46 00:02:59.879 --> 00:03:02.840 on on tonight, some of them tonight, most of them tomorrow. 47 00:03:03.319 --> 00:03:07.240 Planes are going to be caught on Wednesday trying to 48 00:03:07.319 --> 00:03:10.879 figure out, Okay, who do I have, how many minutes? 49 00:03:11.560 --> 00:03:12.639 Where can I put you? 50 00:03:13.199 --> 00:03:16.199 Those kinds of things for Ronnie DLAs Atlanta United gets 51 00:03:16.240 --> 00:03:18.879 ready for the second half of the season, first matchup 52 00:03:18.919 --> 00:03:23.240 in the Bronx against NYCFC our number two obviously, Bart 53 00:03:23.360 --> 00:03:26.120 Kieler from the Soccer for US pod, where we will 54 00:03:26.159 --> 00:03:30.199 discuss what happened over the weekend. We'll hear from Mauricio 55 00:03:30.280 --> 00:03:34.759 Pochettino as we lead into Bart, and we'll let you 56 00:03:34.879 --> 00:03:38.360 know what's on Bart's mind. Where the US men's national 57 00:03:38.400 --> 00:03:41.520 team had won the league till they didn't end up 58 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.439 losing two to one in East Hartford to Turque, and 59 00:03:46.000 --> 00:03:49.319 we'll see what Bart's thoughts are. The sky is falling 60 00:03:49.479 --> 00:03:52.439 from all the feedback that he has been getting. There 61 00:03:52.520 --> 00:03:54.719 has been a bit of a back and forth involving 62 00:03:54.840 --> 00:03:57.199 folks who are mad about who is in who is 63 00:03:57.319 --> 00:04:00.879 not in, and we did get in to that with Bart. 64 00:04:01.000 --> 00:04:04.960 Leading into the weekend, we'll see how opinions I've either altered, 65 00:04:05.120 --> 00:04:08.599 changed or been reinforced with what happened with who wasn't 66 00:04:08.680 --> 00:04:11.759 around for the US men's national team in their matchup 67 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:15.039 against Turkey as they get ready for the matchup tomorrow. 68 00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.600 Speaking of tomorrow, in Nashville, we'll hear from our friend 69 00:04:18.680 --> 00:04:21.519 Lucas Panzica, who along with Jamie Watson, is going to 70 00:04:21.560 --> 00:04:24.319 be calling the matchup on Westwood One. Lucas will be 71 00:04:24.399 --> 00:04:27.720 batting lead off tomorrow, so we'll catch up with Lucas. 72 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:30.079 We'll try and track down Jamie and see if we 73 00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:33.839 can catch up with Jamie about it too, but we'll 74 00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:37.360 get their thoughts about everything leading into the matchup. So 75 00:04:37.480 --> 00:04:39.399 Lucas Panzica is going to be calling the match for 76 00:04:39.480 --> 00:04:41.240 Westwood one. We'll catch up with him bat and lead 77 00:04:41.279 --> 00:04:44.759 off tomorrow as they get ready for the US playing 78 00:04:44.879 --> 00:04:48.319 at g Otis and so that'll be a really cool 79 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:53.519 catch up there on Tuesday for US here at Sdham. 80 00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:59.319 So that's the rundown and starting at ten thirty, so 81 00:04:59.560 --> 00:05:03.800 in an hour hour and twenty minutes from now, An 82 00:05:03.920 --> 00:05:06.800 hour and twenty minutes from now. It is a moment 83 00:05:06.959 --> 00:05:09.879 at Mercedes been Stadium that folks have been waiting for 84 00:05:10.240 --> 00:05:16.399 for a while. You're gonna get conversion from turf to 85 00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.079 grass starting at ten thirty, or at least that's when 86 00:05:19.120 --> 00:05:22.199 they let the media in. So if I'm not mistaken, 87 00:05:22.240 --> 00:05:25.519 I think Jason and our Caroline Hood are there and 88 00:05:25.639 --> 00:05:28.160 we'll see if there's anything going on at ten thirty 89 00:05:28.439 --> 00:05:31.800 with the conversion of the grass. The surface at Mercedes 90 00:05:31.839 --> 00:05:35.040 bends to grass for the Club World Cup, so I 91 00:05:35.160 --> 00:05:37.600 know that Jason will be in inside the walls for 92 00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:40.439 that as we'll see if there's anything going on, maybe Jason. 93 00:05:40.560 --> 00:05:43.199 Maybe we'll see Jason rolling the grass out as a 94 00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:45.560 part of it. So we'll see what happens. But grass 95 00:05:45.600 --> 00:05:49.360 conversion starts at least for the media at ten thirty, 96 00:05:49.560 --> 00:05:51.879 so we'll have that in coming up in the final 97 00:05:52.720 --> 00:05:55.000 half hour of the show as well. So once again 98 00:05:55.040 --> 00:05:56.800 Abe Gordon coming up on tape here in just a 99 00:05:56.879 --> 00:05:59.319 little bit. Bart Keeler joining us from the soccer for 100 00:05:59.439 --> 00:06:01.839 USPOD at the top of our number two to talk 101 00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:03.839 about the men's national team and all the things. We've 102 00:06:03.879 --> 00:06:06.639 got all the news in between, coaches that are shifting 103 00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:09.439 from one team to another, players shifting from one team 104 00:06:09.519 --> 00:06:12.199 to another, all the news that happened this past weekend 105 00:06:12.600 --> 00:06:16.959 and all of the things. So let's say hi to 106 00:06:17.000 --> 00:06:20.160 everybody before we get into Abe Gordon. This morning in 107 00:06:20.240 --> 00:06:22.680 ninety two nine in the game and the Odyssey app 108 00:06:22.759 --> 00:06:27.399 So let's see Morning Ricky, Morning Abby, Morning David. And 109 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:30.519 those are the early returns, and so let's see. So 110 00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:35.360 Ricky is quite pleased. I know this will shock you 111 00:06:35.639 --> 00:06:39.040 with what went down with Christiano Ronaldo at the age 112 00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:43.319 of two hundred and twenty seven getting a nation's league 113 00:06:43.399 --> 00:06:49.480 title for Portugal, and Ricky's like, I wish you wouldn't 114 00:06:49.480 --> 00:06:53.600 have renewed, Morning Abby, And I'm thinking that everybody is 115 00:06:54.120 --> 00:06:58.519 gassed up in there volunteerism and getting ready for Club World, 116 00:06:58.560 --> 00:07:01.000 Coppage and all that kind of stuff. Morning David, David's 117 00:07:01.000 --> 00:07:04.000 in start. Ricky starts his training on Wednesday, so we'll 118 00:07:04.000 --> 00:07:07.879 see what happens there. David last day of Live Watch 119 00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:11.240 until he returns from the annual Ohio Michigan family trip. 120 00:07:12.560 --> 00:07:14.439 So all right, so David, how does that work? 121 00:07:15.759 --> 00:07:19.240 Are you allowed to mention the state up north when 122 00:07:19.279 --> 00:07:21.439 you're in Ohio, and then do you mention the state 123 00:07:21.639 --> 00:07:23.040 the state down south when. 124 00:07:22.959 --> 00:07:24.439 You're in Michigan. Is that how that works? 125 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:29.240 I didn't I don't know where family allegiances are when 126 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:31.240 it comes to college football, and I didn't know if 127 00:07:31.279 --> 00:07:33.800 it was the state up north in the state down south, 128 00:07:33.879 --> 00:07:38.399 depending on where you are in your summer travels. Oh, okay, 129 00:07:38.519 --> 00:07:42.439 so so it is? So it is the the So 130 00:07:42.639 --> 00:07:45.160 if your wife's a Michigan fan, as David lets us know, 131 00:07:46.639 --> 00:07:51.360 and so David's wife is a Michigan fan, So how 132 00:07:51.439 --> 00:07:56.959 does she respond when you're in Ohio? Is it just 133 00:07:57.079 --> 00:08:05.600 something that has to be endured? I cannot believe family's 134 00:08:05.680 --> 00:08:10.480 Ohio state wife is a Michigan fan. Lots of lip biting. Okay, 135 00:08:12.240 --> 00:08:16.079 I wish you nothing, Yes, I very carefully, very carefully 136 00:08:16.199 --> 00:08:19.800 worded and progressed through.

Like every 370 00:20:38.519 --> 00:20:42.000 time I looked up, I was being tweeted at another 371 00:20:42.119 --> 00:20:44.880 goal from a member of Atlanta United. I mean, what, 372 00:20:45.279 --> 00:20:48.319 Sleeash had a nice little worm burner. I think I 373 00:20:48.400 --> 00:20:52.119 saw Jay Fortune score. I think Sava scored. So the 374 00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:54.200 good news is if they can get back and they 375 00:20:54.359 --> 00:20:57.759 are rested, it feels like some of these guys are informed. 376 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:01.480 I think I saw Niggy had a nice performance as well. 377 00:21:01.680 --> 00:21:04.559 So if these guys can get back, maybe And we 378 00:21:04.680 --> 00:21:07.599 talked about this a little bit, maybe not here on 379 00:21:07.680 --> 00:21:12.000 the podcast, but certainly on the full time report, just 380 00:21:12.160 --> 00:21:16.119 these guys getting out and going away to their international 381 00:21:16.200 --> 00:21:22.240 squads and international duty and just kind of gaining confidence 382 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:25.559 from strong performances. And I think now the challenges can 383 00:21:25.640 --> 00:21:29.160 you bring that both the level of performance but also 384 00:21:29.240 --> 00:21:32.200 the confidence that you have as an individual what it's 385 00:21:32.279 --> 00:21:34.960 like to win again sometimes can help a little bit. 386 00:21:35.039 --> 00:21:39.640 Maybe someone should tell the Braves that, But just any 387 00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:42.799 little boost right now, because I thought there was a 388 00:21:42.880 --> 00:21:46.160 disproportionate reaction. We're gonna be honest to the loss against 389 00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:48.960 Red Bulls. It was certainly frustrating. No one's denying that, 390 00:21:49.640 --> 00:21:52.720 but that one loss didn't mean you lose all six 391 00:21:52.839 --> 00:21:56.759 of these road games or five left here, and I 392 00:21:56.839 --> 00:21:59.240 do think it was a little disproportionate. I do think 393 00:21:59.279 --> 00:22:02.400 there is still the possibility that you have some momentum 394 00:22:02.440 --> 00:22:06.039 moving forward after those recent home wins, and so I'm 395 00:22:06.119 --> 00:22:10.279 looking forward to it. I do understand the Little League 396 00:22:10.359 --> 00:22:13.440 pitch and how it may be adjust what you need 397 00:22:13.559 --> 00:22:17.920 to do, how you develop and score goals, So I'm 398 00:22:17.960 --> 00:22:20.559 looking forward to seeing how Ronnie Diler manages that for 399 00:22:20.680 --> 00:22:23.720 his first time here, but obviously he's very familiar with 400 00:22:23.880 --> 00:22:27.480 the pitch up there from previous stops. So I'm feeling 401 00:22:27.519 --> 00:22:31.119 pretty good. If we're gonna be honest, a little break, 402 00:22:31.720 --> 00:22:34.000 a little bit of a mental step away from the 403 00:22:34.119 --> 00:22:37.400 disappointing loss, and seeing all these guys play at a 404 00:22:37.480 --> 00:22:40.640 high level, perform at a high level, and hopefully getting 405 00:22:40.720 --> 00:22:42.960 back here's got me kind of juiced up for Thursday. 406 00:22:42.960 --> 00:22:45.079 If we're gonna be honest, Yeah, And I know that 407 00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:48.559 we're also kind of keeping an eye on the injury front. 408 00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:51.000 You're gonna be getting interest in William Bob back at 409 00:22:51.079 --> 00:22:53.920 some point. He's turning the end of that recovery process. 410 00:22:54.000 --> 00:22:57.799 But you do Los came in Tookashi and the backup 411 00:22:57.880 --> 00:23:00.440 that you had at the striker position. So there is 412 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:02.400 a give and take when it comes to the injury 413 00:23:02.480 --> 00:23:05.480 element of it all. But you know, you look at 414 00:23:06.039 --> 00:23:07.920 Lot's a lot who all he has to do is 415 00:23:08.000 --> 00:23:11.079 fly from Toronto, so you know, as long as he 416 00:23:11.119 --> 00:23:13.920 can navigate Pierson Airport traffic, then he can get to 417 00:23:14.039 --> 00:23:16.319 New York and everything is fine there. But no, I 418 00:23:16.440 --> 00:23:20.839 think that to your point, you're looking at a match 419 00:23:21.000 --> 00:23:25.119 with NYC where it's not you just have to be 420 00:23:25.279 --> 00:23:29.000 mentally on for a full ninety minutes just because of 421 00:23:29.160 --> 00:23:32.319 all of the reverb and the pinball that happens there. 422 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:34.920 It's not something where you're focused on build up. You're 423 00:23:34.960 --> 00:23:38.319 focused on passing and shooting and having all of the 424 00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:41.519 lineup in its past form with Saba out on the outside. 425 00:23:41.799 --> 00:23:45.359 Like I said, I'm intrigued, as are you, for the 426 00:23:45.759 --> 00:23:48.759 reasons that it's a different approach in New York when 427 00:23:48.799 --> 00:23:50.480 it comes to playing in the Bronx as it would 428 00:23:50.519 --> 00:23:52.160 be on a traditional pitch. 429 00:23:52.240 --> 00:23:53.759 And yes, I did just use air quotes. 430 00:23:54.160 --> 00:23:54.359 Yeah. 431 00:23:54.440 --> 00:23:56.720 And the concerning thing is some of the quality of 432 00:23:56.799 --> 00:23:59.720 Golden Lane United has given up. How turnovers had led 433 00:23:59.799 --> 00:24:03.480 to chances. How misplays in the back have led to chances. 434 00:24:03.519 --> 00:24:06.759 And I do think because of what you face up there, 435 00:24:06.960 --> 00:24:10.279 it probably gets magnified a little bit, and you have 436 00:24:10.480 --> 00:24:13.880 to be, as you mentioned, extra tight, extra focused. Every 437 00:24:14.000 --> 00:24:18.160 bounce has to be yours. The turnovers in the midfield, 438 00:24:18.279 --> 00:24:22.519 especially in the defensive midfield that is closer to an 439 00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:26.039 attacking point, you've got to be tight on those. And 440 00:24:26.240 --> 00:24:29.039 so there's no doubt about it. You're gonna have to 441 00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.640 come and play better than you did against Red Bulls. 442 00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:36.920 And I don't know how many times throughout the streak 443 00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:40.759 of losses that I mentioned this to you. Even in 444 00:24:40.880 --> 00:24:44.480 some of the wins, goals are too easy to come 445 00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:47.839 by for Landy and iited opponents. You just I mean, 446 00:24:47.920 --> 00:24:51.720 imagine if this team made opponents work as hard to 447 00:24:51.799 --> 00:24:54.359 score goals as it Landy and United has to work 448 00:24:54.440 --> 00:24:57.519 to score goals. I mean, it'd be an immensely different season. 449 00:24:57.960 --> 00:25:00.000 And I don't think it's because of a lack of quality. 450 00:25:00.119 --> 00:25:02.000 I don't think it's a lack of talent. I just 451 00:25:02.079 --> 00:25:06.119 think there have been so many miscues, mistakes and misplays 452 00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:09.880 that have absolutely cost this team. And there just haven't 453 00:25:09.920 --> 00:25:13.519 been the other end of that where you're the benefactor 454 00:25:13.680 --> 00:25:15.640 of some of those. There's been a couple here or there. 455 00:25:15.759 --> 00:25:18.839 But I just think you got to be buttoned up 456 00:25:18.880 --> 00:25:21.880 and dialed in. There's no doubt about that. I still 457 00:25:21.960 --> 00:25:23.880 think there's a season to be had if you can 458 00:25:23.960 --> 00:25:24.400 clean up. 459 00:25:25.160 --> 00:25:25.680 I really do. 460 00:25:26.279 --> 00:25:30.160 I don't think it's such a situation where there's no talent. 461 00:25:30.359 --> 00:25:32.400 I think we've seen because of some of the wins 462 00:25:32.440 --> 00:25:35.440 here that if you can just clean up something that 463 00:25:35.599 --> 00:25:38.039 makes it easy to beat you, that you can go 464 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:40.839 on a run. So I'm still confident. Now it needs 465 00:25:40.920 --> 00:25:43.920 to start, right, I mean, you're past halfway now, this 466 00:25:44.079 --> 00:25:47.680 is the official past halfway point coming up, and so 467 00:25:48.200 --> 00:25:50.119 you need to start to turn it around a little bit. 468 00:25:50.200 --> 00:25:52.680 I think you started to and now you need to 469 00:25:52.720 --> 00:25:56.000 continue that, especially as the only squad in the East 470 00:25:56.000 --> 00:25:57.599 that hasn't been able to do much on the road. 471 00:25:57.880 --> 00:26:01.039 Yeah, and you look at what it looks like on 472 00:26:01.119 --> 00:26:04.519 the road at Land United five and two on the 473 00:26:04.680 --> 00:26:08.440 road and they are the only team not to get 474 00:26:08.920 --> 00:26:11.400 a full point result on the road this year. You 475 00:26:11.440 --> 00:26:13.119 do have a couple of folks that only have one 476 00:26:13.200 --> 00:26:14.200 win on the road, and so on. 477 00:26:14.279 --> 00:26:16.799 And so forth. But at Land United right now five 478 00:26:16.880 --> 00:26:19.119 and two in the Eastern Conference. 479 00:26:19.160 --> 00:26:22.680 All right, so since you are you are optimistic towards 480 00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.240 the second half of the season. This was a question 481 00:26:26.799 --> 00:26:31.359 that was posed when we were up at Nofaux Brewingen 482 00:26:31.440 --> 00:26:36.400 coming on Saturday. When it comes to bright spots in 483 00:26:36.480 --> 00:26:39.400 the first half of the season for it Land United, 484 00:26:39.839 --> 00:26:42.960 and we and Maddie and Jason and I each had 485 00:26:43.160 --> 00:26:46.680 our different answers, But I will pose this question to you. 486 00:26:47.599 --> 00:26:51.079 Who are bright spots for you in the first half 487 00:26:51.160 --> 00:26:54.319 of the season for it Land United when it comes 488 00:26:54.400 --> 00:26:58.200 to what you've seen, even though the current win loss 489 00:26:58.279 --> 00:27:01.559 record does not reflect what a lot of folks would 490 00:27:01.599 --> 00:27:03.039 have liked to have seen at the beginning of the year. 491 00:27:03.400 --> 00:27:07.200 Yeah, I mean, I imagine like them, you start immediately 492 00:27:07.559 --> 00:27:10.759 with the homegrowns in the academy, and it's Matt Edwards 493 00:27:10.799 --> 00:27:13.720 and Jay Fortune. Those are the first two and we've 494 00:27:13.759 --> 00:27:17.000 talked about them at length in pregame shows and postgame 495 00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:20.480 shows here on the podcast as well. I think you 496 00:27:20.640 --> 00:27:23.000 have to start there, but I actually want to take 497 00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:25.920 it a step back further. The first bright spot is 498 00:27:26.440 --> 00:27:30.680 the recognition from Ronnie Dila the development of the formation 499 00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:33.279 right right, the five in the back, the three center backs. 500 00:27:33.400 --> 00:27:37.240 I don't think Matt Edwards becomes what he's become without 501 00:27:37.279 --> 00:27:39.519 the recognition of we're going to switch to this formation 502 00:27:40.079 --> 00:27:43.720 and see if it works. And likewise j Fortune for 503 00:27:44.000 --> 00:27:46.400 a lot of the same reasons. I think this formation 504 00:27:47.000 --> 00:27:50.519 has allowed those two specific guys to really blossom and 505 00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:54.160 bloom into what they've been the last I don't know, 506 00:27:54.279 --> 00:27:56.839 five to six match days, whatever the number is. I 507 00:27:56.960 --> 00:27:58.720 think you go a little bit further back, and I 508 00:27:58.799 --> 00:28:01.319 know he's been banged up here there. Just Moyaba has 509 00:28:01.400 --> 00:28:03.880 had the best season that he's had as a member 510 00:28:03.880 --> 00:28:06.799 of Villady United, and it comes off of some really 511 00:28:06.920 --> 00:28:10.079 tough moments a year ago where a lot of people 512 00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:13.519 were really down on his ability and his performance. Mistakes 513 00:28:13.640 --> 00:28:16.119 got made and sometimes they still do. But I think 514 00:28:16.240 --> 00:28:21.240 moya Ba has been very good as well. And then 515 00:28:21.519 --> 00:28:25.599 like the Ages Wonder, like Brad Guzan, really just stays 516 00:28:25.640 --> 00:28:29.240 at a high level. And you know, I don't know 517 00:28:29.359 --> 00:28:33.079 what I expected coming off of his injuries. I don't 518 00:28:33.119 --> 00:28:37.599 know what I expected another year later as he gets 519 00:28:37.799 --> 00:28:41.640 older and inevitably is one year closer to retirement, but 520 00:28:42.039 --> 00:28:46.039 he's just playing at a high level, and I just 521 00:28:46.240 --> 00:28:48.599 I don't know when the falloff is gonna come. I'm 522 00:28:48.960 --> 00:28:52.559 a little nervous about like continually giving him contracts or 523 00:28:52.640 --> 00:28:57.000 doesn't seem to be some great succession plan there. But 524 00:28:57.160 --> 00:28:59.640 he's also playing at a very high level, and I 525 00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:05.079 think it has to be noted as well recently Moronchuk 526 00:29:06.000 --> 00:29:08.440 the past three or four matches, so I you know, 527 00:29:08.559 --> 00:29:10.200 we got to see a little bit more of that 528 00:29:10.440 --> 00:29:11.079 to continue. 529 00:29:11.920 --> 00:29:13.440 But he's played very well also. 530 00:29:13.799 --> 00:29:17.559 Yeah, and those were the common threads you have. You 531 00:29:17.720 --> 00:29:21.599 had I said, Matt Edwards and the homegrowns, and then 532 00:29:21.640 --> 00:29:23.839 you had Brad was mentioned, and you had made on 533 00:29:23.920 --> 00:29:27.680 Chuk mentioned, you had you know, Saba recently with the 534 00:29:27.799 --> 00:29:29.519 change in formation, with what you were able to do 535 00:29:29.599 --> 00:29:31.400 on the right hand side. He was another one that 536 00:29:31.599 --> 00:29:35.000 was part of the the that particular crew that was mentioned. 537 00:29:35.319 --> 00:29:37.839 And honestly, Tira, I know he hasn't been given a 538 00:29:37.920 --> 00:29:40.400 ton of play time just because of Latte Lot, but 539 00:29:40.839 --> 00:29:43.880 he has scored some of the more important and significant 540 00:29:43.920 --> 00:29:45.319 goals for the club this year. 541 00:29:45.640 --> 00:29:45.880 Yeah. 542 00:29:46.519 --> 00:29:49.920 How much of the US national team did you pay 543 00:29:49.960 --> 00:29:52.359 attention to at or at all this past weekend? 544 00:29:52.599 --> 00:29:55.400 I watched a minute in twenty and then I tweeted 545 00:29:55.519 --> 00:30:00.720 out about some nastiness from the Glenn and then I 546 00:30:00.839 --> 00:30:03.400 watched the rest of the match and was like, all right, 547 00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:06.200 these guys don't don't know what they're doing yet as 548 00:30:06.240 --> 00:30:08.880 a unit, and that's not a huge surprise. There's a 549 00:30:09.000 --> 00:30:12.720 lot of new names, a lot of people probably playing together, 550 00:30:12.839 --> 00:30:14.720 and I know they had a short camp and all that, 551 00:30:14.880 --> 00:30:19.160 but this is a kind of a investigation period. It's 552 00:30:19.200 --> 00:30:22.240 a development period to figure out who are your best 553 00:30:22.279 --> 00:30:25.400 guys and who do you want to carry that flag 554 00:30:25.480 --> 00:30:28.240 when the World Cup comes, and so I think there's 555 00:30:28.279 --> 00:30:31.880 a lot of figuring things out still. Obviously it was 556 00:30:31.920 --> 00:30:35.039 a great start and then it was all all ugly 557 00:30:35.119 --> 00:30:38.880 from there and unfortunately a couple of goals that remind 558 00:30:38.960 --> 00:30:41.200 me a little bit too much of watching Atlanta United. 559 00:30:41.599 --> 00:30:44.880 Misplays in the back, a deflection gets by the keeper. 560 00:30:46.920 --> 00:30:49.720 You didn't make Turkey work hard enough to score goals, 561 00:30:49.960 --> 00:30:53.359 and so that certainly is frustrating and you'll see if 562 00:30:53.400 --> 00:30:57.279 you can do better. What is that tomorrow night against Switzerland? 563 00:30:57.400 --> 00:30:58.599 Is that who they got? 564 00:30:58.680 --> 00:30:58.839 Yeah? 565 00:30:59.039 --> 00:31:01.720 So in Nashville, Oh yeah, I'm. 566 00:31:01.559 --> 00:31:03.640 Not gonna overreact to it, like I know everyone wants 567 00:31:03.680 --> 00:31:05.319 to be like, you're the United States. You can't be 568 00:31:05.400 --> 00:31:08.079 losing a Turkey. I'm like, I get it, but at 569 00:31:08.079 --> 00:31:11.559 the same time we're figuring things out. I'm not gonna 570 00:31:11.599 --> 00:31:16.480 get too worried about it. But yeah, I'm I'm just 571 00:31:16.559 --> 00:31:19.200 not an overreactor when it comes to that. I'll worry 572 00:31:19.319 --> 00:31:20.279 when the games matter. 573 00:31:20.759 --> 00:31:24.559 Well, And that was my follow up question was that 574 00:31:24.680 --> 00:31:27.319 you seem to have folks that are bent out of 575 00:31:27.440 --> 00:31:30.079 shape about not having some of your big guns as 576 00:31:30.119 --> 00:31:32.920 you get ready for Gold Cup in this camp and 577 00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:36.279 things like that. So you're of the camp of, look, 578 00:31:36.440 --> 00:31:39.519 I need to figure out who guys twelve through twenty 579 00:31:39.640 --> 00:31:42.559 six are. I'm not worried about one through eleven when 580 00:31:42.559 --> 00:31:45.680 I'm playing turkey in East Hartford and Switzerland and Nashville. 581 00:31:46.359 --> 00:31:48.519 Yeah, I mean, look, with respect to the Gold Cup, 582 00:31:48.640 --> 00:31:51.559 like I don't know who won like the two thousand 583 00:31:51.599 --> 00:31:54.279 and three Gold Cup or I don't know if they 584 00:31:54.359 --> 00:31:55.960 held one that year. But but I mean, you get 585 00:31:56.039 --> 00:31:58.799 the point, like the World Cup is what matters, and 586 00:31:58.880 --> 00:32:01.640 people are gonna a freak out about pulistic and not 587 00:32:01.799 --> 00:32:03.400 representing the country. 588 00:32:03.039 --> 00:32:03.359 And all that. 589 00:32:03.680 --> 00:32:06.000 All I'm sitting here is asking is is this guy 590 00:32:06.079 --> 00:32:08.400 gonna be healthy and ready to roll when the World 591 00:32:08.480 --> 00:32:10.839 Cup comes around, because that's what's most important. And so 592 00:32:11.599 --> 00:32:14.119 I totally understand it. And he's been carrying the banner 593 00:32:14.200 --> 00:32:20.079 for this this country practically single handedly for almost a 594 00:32:20.200 --> 00:32:23.000 decade now half a decade at least in regards to 595 00:32:23.079 --> 00:32:26.720 pulistic and so he needs some time. He's gonna get 596 00:32:26.839 --> 00:32:30.000 himself ready mentally, physically and be there for the World Cup. 597 00:32:30.039 --> 00:32:32.880 I have no doubts about that. So I was talking 598 00:32:32.920 --> 00:32:35.160 with Maddie about this off air one day, and it 599 00:32:35.359 --> 00:32:38.119 just the the overreaction to he doesn't want to do 600 00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:40.119 this or doesn't want to do that, or how could 601 00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:42.960 you not? And and just like man, I'm just so 602 00:32:43.359 --> 00:32:47.839 singularly focused on the World Cup. Like I just some 603 00:32:48.039 --> 00:32:51.039 of these tournaments it's cool to be in, and certainly 604 00:32:51.119 --> 00:32:53.559 I want to win them, but like, I'm not gonna 605 00:32:53.599 --> 00:32:56.440 overreact if we don't, nor am I like gonna overly 606 00:32:56.559 --> 00:32:59.519 celebrate if we do. It's just the World Cup matters 607 00:32:59.559 --> 00:33:04.279 so much more that all of my focus as soon 608 00:33:04.359 --> 00:33:07.400 as the World Cup ends is all right, what's the 609 00:33:07.519 --> 00:33:11.200 plan over the next four years to get the best 610 00:33:11.279 --> 00:33:13.960 team possible for the next World Cup? Like I would 611 00:33:14.000 --> 00:33:17.119 have managed US Soccer completely differently over the past, like 612 00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:20.720 twelve or sixteen years, because I don't think enough attention 613 00:33:20.960 --> 00:33:23.640 was paid to how do we develop our guys for 614 00:33:23.799 --> 00:33:25.559 four years from now? I think too much of it 615 00:33:25.759 --> 00:33:27.599 was here are So, I mean, we can't be running 616 00:33:27.640 --> 00:33:30.000 thirty six year old guys and thirty seven year old 617 00:33:30.039 --> 00:33:32.720 guys out there just because they've they've been with the 618 00:33:32.799 --> 00:33:35.440 program for a while, Like, no, bring out the young guys, 619 00:33:35.559 --> 00:33:38.200 let them start to develop, because in three years, that's 620 00:33:38.200 --> 00:33:41.039 who's gonna be on the World Cup team, not some 621 00:33:41.200 --> 00:33:43.519 thirty seven year old defender thirty eight year old defender. 622 00:33:43.559 --> 00:33:46.119 I won't use any names midfielders who have been there 623 00:33:46.319 --> 00:33:50.279 or whatever. I don't think they've really had that singular 624 00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:53.160 mindset and that that, to me, has been a little 625 00:33:53.160 --> 00:33:54.599 bit of a failure from US Soccer. 626 00:33:54.960 --> 00:33:58.119 So you know, you're you're not gonna mention somebody who 627 00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:00.799 might whose name might sound like skim Cream. 628 00:34:01.759 --> 00:34:03.400 Well, look this goes back. 629 00:34:03.680 --> 00:34:07.559 It's not just him, and look maybe he'll he'll be 630 00:34:07.640 --> 00:34:10.679 there for the World Cup, sure, but like this goes back, 631 00:34:11.000 --> 00:34:14.199 there have been times we're running guys out there, and 632 00:34:14.559 --> 00:34:17.039 my mindset is, if you know a guy's not gonna 633 00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:19.079 be on the next World Cup team. I have no 634 00:34:19.280 --> 00:34:22.360 need for him at all to be part of the program. 635 00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:25.639 It's just for me. 636 00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:29.079 Everything after a World Cup is about building for the 637 00:34:29.159 --> 00:34:31.679 next three and a half years through World Cup qualifying, 638 00:34:31.760 --> 00:34:34.559 but to the World Cup ultimately. And if a guy 639 00:34:34.719 --> 00:34:37.239 is not gonna be there for the next World Cup, 640 00:34:37.440 --> 00:34:39.920 unless you're in such a bad shape, and the US 641 00:34:40.000 --> 00:34:42.719 Soccer shouldn't be in this position that you need a 642 00:34:42.800 --> 00:34:46.320 guy to help you qualify for a World Cup unless 643 00:34:46.360 --> 00:34:47.960 you really are in that situation. 644 00:34:48.840 --> 00:34:49.559 I move on. 645 00:34:50.559 --> 00:34:52.920 Let's bring in some youth in the midfield, or youth 646 00:34:53.000 --> 00:34:57.960 up top, or youth in the back line and figure 647 00:34:58.000 --> 00:35:00.559 it all out and get these guys going, because I 648 00:35:00.719 --> 00:35:04.440 just I feel like you're wasting opportunities to figure out 649 00:35:04.480 --> 00:35:06.920 who your best guys are for the next three four 650 00:35:07.039 --> 00:35:08.280 years and the cycle after that. 651 00:35:08.719 --> 00:35:12.280 All right, broadcast plans for NYC and the U twelve pitch. 652 00:35:12.559 --> 00:35:15.800 Yeah, we're looking forward to it again. An odd kickoff 653 00:35:15.960 --> 00:35:19.760 evening Thursday, But Mike and Jason will be up there 654 00:35:19.800 --> 00:35:22.079 and join the Big Apple. I will be back in 655 00:35:22.280 --> 00:35:25.400 studio getting you set with the five straps counting down 656 00:35:25.440 --> 00:35:28.119 for an hour beforehand and then certainly back with you 657 00:35:28.760 --> 00:35:31.199 for the full time report afterwards. So looking forward to it. 658 00:35:31.360 --> 00:35:33.960 I'm gonna remain confident all week. No one could break 659 00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:36.840 my stride, at least not until kickoff on Thursday. 660 00:35:37.039 --> 00:35:39.599 And no one can slow you down.

Ashley Orcis plays it to Besett Hogan. 720 00:39:24.159 --> 00:39:26.320 That's been a little quiet today as well. 721 00:39:27.559 --> 00:39:28.480 About this ball. 722 00:39:28.679 --> 00:39:31.880 Jemona on the end of it, looping. 723 00:39:31.599 --> 00:39:35.559 Towards goal like Carly Jamona puts Tampa Bay on top. 724 00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:52.039 What a three bread here, and it almost seemed like 725 00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:56.440 it was in slow motion as she was able to 726 00:39:56.679 --> 00:39:57.679 just chip it over. 727 00:39:58.159 --> 00:40:02.840 Madison White hit that side netting. So it's the two 728 00:40:02.920 --> 00:40:04.760 and the four that make it to the final and 729 00:40:04.800 --> 00:40:07.760 the USL Super League on Saturday once again, that's on 730 00:40:07.920 --> 00:40:10.800 Peacock two two one wins, two to one win for 731 00:40:10.920 --> 00:40:14.239 Fort Lauderdale, two to one win for Tampa Bay and 732 00:40:14.400 --> 00:40:18.320 so Tampa Bay Sun will host as the two seeds. So, uh, 733 00:40:19.280 --> 00:40:21.000 we'll see if we can catch up with some folks 734 00:40:21.079 --> 00:40:22.840 on this one and later on the later on in 735 00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:24.960 the week specifically to kind of get the lowdown as 736 00:40:25.000 --> 00:40:28.880 to what happened this season and find out what the 737 00:40:29.079 --> 00:40:32.159 the overall vibe is about the USL Super League, and 738 00:40:32.320 --> 00:40:34.880 we'll find out, uh, we'll find out about the title 739 00:40:34.960 --> 00:40:37.480 game and we'll send we are we've been efforting all 740 00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:39.719 season long trying to talk to some folks who are 741 00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:43.400 the hires up, higher ups, HighRes up, kind of like 742 00:40:43.480 --> 00:40:46.960 poets laureate the folks in charge. And so we'll see 743 00:40:47.000 --> 00:40:49.760 if we can come up with either a primo mortem 744 00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:51.840 or a post mortem when it comes to the season 745 00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:54.239 here with the USL Super League. But that's your title game. 746 00:40:54.559 --> 00:40:56.880 It is the two seed Tampa hosting the four seed 747 00:40:56.920 --> 00:40:59.239 Fort Lauderdale, and that is going to be this weekend 748 00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:04.199 once again courtesy of our friends at Peacock. Carol Locklear, 749 00:41:04.239 --> 00:41:06.440 by the way, gets the brace in that one, getting 750 00:41:06.519 --> 00:41:09.559 both goals, and so that is how it ends up 751 00:41:09.960 --> 00:41:13.280 with the win for Fort Lauderdale. In the one hundred 752 00:41:13.320 --> 00:41:17.639 and twentieth minute, people, one hundred and twentieth minute, Caroll 753 00:41:17.679 --> 00:41:20.480 Locklear gets the duke and it ends. 754 00:41:20.440 --> 00:41:24.239 Up with the win there for Fort Lauderdale. 755 00:41:24.239 --> 00:41:26.360 All right, so let's take the tour and let you 756 00:41:26.480 --> 00:41:28.719 know what's going on with all the news and everything, 757 00:41:29.360 --> 00:41:32.159 and there is a lot of news that is going 758 00:41:32.239 --> 00:41:36.960 on overseas this morning. It appears that Thomas Frank looks 759 00:41:37.039 --> 00:41:40.119 like he is going to be taking the gig with spurs. 760 00:41:41.679 --> 00:41:44.639 May your Lord help you, sir, h it's gonna be 761 00:41:44.760 --> 00:41:47.800 a I hope they give you the resources that you're 762 00:41:47.880 --> 00:41:50.880 hunting for verbally agreed to terms. According to our buddy 763 00:41:50.880 --> 00:41:54.840 Bend Jacobs, ongoing discussions over back room staff deals subject 764 00:41:54.920 --> 00:41:58.719 to Frank's release clause being triggered, but he is expected 765 00:41:58.840 --> 00:42:02.159 to replace Ajpasterac that comes from Alex Crook, Ben Jacobs 766 00:42:02.800 --> 00:42:05.519 and others parties now finalizing the appointment. 767 00:42:05.559 --> 00:42:06.639 As of about an hour. 768 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:09.719 Ago, Angelino set to sign for All Hill All after 769 00:42:09.800 --> 00:42:12.079 agreeing to terms. Offer of up the twenty three million 770 00:42:12.159 --> 00:42:15.920 euro was made, Roma expected to accept. We do have 771 00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:20.159 some other news involving Calcio coming up in a bit 772 00:42:21.079 --> 00:42:24.079 and it's not good. Manchester City have agreed to have 773 00:42:24.280 --> 00:42:27.039 reached an agreement with Leon to sign Ryan Cherokee for 774 00:42:27.159 --> 00:42:30.920 forty million euro five year deal. Deals expected to be 775 00:42:31.000 --> 00:42:33.079 completed in time for the Club World Cup. 776 00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:35.679 Let's see. 777 00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:39.039 Everton confirmed they've offered new contracts to Seamus Coleman and 778 00:42:39.400 --> 00:42:43.639 Addrissa Gay, adding they continue to liaise with representatives of 779 00:42:43.679 --> 00:42:46.920 Michael Keene, Dominic Calvert Lewin, all four players due to 780 00:42:47.000 --> 00:42:49.880 be out of contract at the end of June. Iacs 781 00:42:49.920 --> 00:42:53.320 interested in signing Antonio Cordero on loan from Newcastle. The 782 00:42:53.360 --> 00:42:56.960 eighteen year old Spanish winger also has options in Germany 783 00:42:57.119 --> 00:43:00.880 in Spain Newcastle. According to our buddy Benji, Jacob's definitely 784 00:43:00.960 --> 00:43:05.159 going to loan Cordero out next season. The joke that 785 00:43:05.400 --> 00:43:09.840 I gave Ricky when the show started, where Ricky was 786 00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:15.320 quite pleased about what happened in the Nations League and Portugal. 787 00:43:15.679 --> 00:43:19.440 After one hundred and twenty minutes in PK's Christiano Ronaldo 788 00:43:19.480 --> 00:43:23.239 says he will extend his deal at Al Nasser quote 789 00:43:23.320 --> 00:43:27.360 my future, nothing will change Al Naser, yes, So Al 790 00:43:27.440 --> 00:43:30.079 Naser been working on renewing the Al Ronaldo for almost 791 00:43:30.119 --> 00:43:34.280 a year. Chelsea Confirmamed Usar has joined from Strasbourg an 792 00:43:34.360 --> 00:43:37.400 eight year contract fee in the region of fourteen million euro. 793 00:43:37.559 --> 00:43:38.920 The plans for Sar to be a part of the 794 00:43:38.920 --> 00:43:42.280 club World Cup squad and so it was a five 795 00:43:42.320 --> 00:43:46.159 to three shootout victory, two to two after extra time, 796 00:43:46.280 --> 00:43:50.800 Christiano Ronaldo scoring the equalizer, Rubin Neves the game winning penalty. 797 00:43:51.239 --> 00:43:53.840 Robert Lewandowski don't know if you saw this announced he 798 00:43:53.920 --> 00:43:56.559 is not going to play for Poland again while Michael 799 00:43:56.679 --> 00:44:01.280 Probierres is in charge as head coach, so we will 800 00:44:01.400 --> 00:44:05.559 keep an eye on Lewandowsky Poland and him not playing 801 00:44:05.840 --> 00:44:09.760 while things are currently going on. Victor Oceman has turned 802 00:44:09.800 --> 00:44:12.440 down all hill, all travel and medical schedule to complete 803 00:44:12.480 --> 00:44:12.760 the deal. 804 00:44:12.800 --> 00:44:14.000 In time for the Club World Cup. 805 00:44:14.519 --> 00:44:17.440 Seventy five million euro package was in place with Knopoly, 806 00:44:17.559 --> 00:44:23.159 but formally rejected the offer, and so now that ain't happening. 807 00:44:23.280 --> 00:44:27.000 Bucci Laba was the first to break that news. Dortmann 808 00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:30.199 agreed to a thirty eight million euro package with Sunderland 809 00:44:30.280 --> 00:44:33.199 for Joe Bellingham for britzill Romano. On the top of 810 00:44:33.360 --> 00:44:38.000 that one, Bellingham is expected to sign a five year 811 00:44:38.440 --> 00:44:42.679 deal and so now Osceman's all Hill all rejection means 812 00:44:42.719 --> 00:44:44.639 that it is going to be a race to try 813 00:44:44.679 --> 00:44:48.400 to figure out Victor o'ceman and what's going on with Galatasarai. 814 00:44:49.119 --> 00:44:53.000 So Genowa confirmed Patrick Vieira has signed a new contract 815 00:44:53.199 --> 00:44:56.559 until the summer of twenty twenty seven. The other piece 816 00:44:56.599 --> 00:45:00.360 of news that we wanted to get into before kind 817 00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:03.639 of lean into all of the other gossip bermeran and 818 00:45:03.639 --> 00:45:05.400 innuendo what to watch, where to watch it and how 819 00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:11.079 to watch it has to do with Brescia, and you know, 820 00:45:12.119 --> 00:45:18.679 the one the individual who probably could give us a 821 00:45:19.000 --> 00:45:27.199 better breakdown of context would be Nick. But apparently Brescia 822 00:45:27.400 --> 00:45:30.119 is struggling to pay their three million euro debt and 823 00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:34.320 they have filed for bankruptcy. So it now looks like 824 00:45:34.880 --> 00:45:37.800 they are going to go extinct after one hundred and 825 00:45:37.960 --> 00:45:42.119 fourteen years, one hundred and fourteen years of play, and 826 00:45:42.199 --> 00:45:46.920 it looks like Brescia will be no more unable to 827 00:45:46.920 --> 00:45:49.039 pay a debt, a three million year old declared bankruptcy, 828 00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:51.280 one hundred and fourteen years of history, and it looks 829 00:45:51.320 --> 00:45:56.440 like Brescia is going to be facing expulsion from professional 830 00:45:56.559 --> 00:46:01.360 leagues in Italy. So keep an eye out on that. 831 00:46:02.440 --> 00:46:05.719 You know, it is a lot of inbounds and outbounds 832 00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:10.960 for players and such, and so you're talking Debaggio, Pep Guardiola, 833 00:46:11.159 --> 00:46:16.519 George Haji. No one really knows what is the future 834 00:46:17.400 --> 00:46:22.039 for Brescia, but it looks like they might be facing 835 00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:26.920 the end of it all and it might be might 836 00:46:27.000 --> 00:46:29.679 be heading all the way down to serid might be 837 00:46:29.840 --> 00:46:35.000 heading out to might be just being completely and totally 838 00:46:35.039 --> 00:46:37.480 wiped off the planet. So we'll keep an eye on Brescia, 839 00:46:37.519 --> 00:46:40.519 but it ain't looking good for a club that is 840 00:46:40.639 --> 00:46:44.079 having a three million euro in debt. You go to 841 00:46:44.159 --> 00:46:50.559 their official two hundred and eighty character app and back 842 00:46:50.639 --> 00:46:55.239 on the twenty ninth of May, they had an official 843 00:46:56.760 --> 00:47:01.400 correspondence they acknowledged the decision of the National Federal Court 844 00:47:01.480 --> 00:47:04.360 examining reasons also with regard to all the detailed defenses 845 00:47:04.400 --> 00:47:07.199 brought to the attention of federal judges, reserve the right 846 00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:10.159 to an appeal of the process. But that was back 847 00:47:10.239 --> 00:47:13.159 on the twenty ninth of May, and we have heard 848 00:47:13.280 --> 00:47:17.320 nothing since. When it comes to Brescia's, so it could 849 00:47:17.320 --> 00:47:21.039 be another historic club that could be completely and totally 850 00:47:21.119 --> 00:47:26.000 out the door. David Ornstein kind of breaking the news 851 00:47:26.159 --> 00:47:30.960 that we've been breaking a bit. Ornstein now says that 852 00:47:31.679 --> 00:47:35.800 Thomas Frank hope they're hoping for an agreement with Frank 853 00:47:35.840 --> 00:47:39.159 in the next forty eight hours. And so David Ornstein 854 00:47:39.199 --> 00:47:42.199 once again very very busy. He mentions Ryan Cherokee, He 855 00:47:42.400 --> 00:47:46.800 mentions Jamie Gittens getting a from Brusha Dortmund, having Chelsea 856 00:47:46.880 --> 00:47:50.000 submitting an official proposal for Gettens, having agreed to a 857 00:47:50.199 --> 00:47:52.440 seven year contract with the Ford. But keep an eye 858 00:47:52.440 --> 00:47:55.320 on the next forty eight hours involving Thomas Frank, and 859 00:47:55.639 --> 00:47:58.719 when it comes to Thomas Frank leaving Brentford and heading 860 00:47:58.800 --> 00:48:01.960 to Spurs to be their head coach since Angepasta Coglu 861 00:48:02.840 --> 00:48:06.760 was told that his services were no longer desired. 862 00:48:06.840 --> 00:48:07.679 To be head coach. 863 00:48:07.840 --> 00:48:10.960 Like I said, I'm just hoping that Thomas Frank gets 864 00:48:11.000 --> 00:48:15.880 the resources that he is looking in on. But of course, 865 00:48:17.079 --> 00:48:18.960 knowing what he had to deal with with Brentford, he 866 00:48:19.079 --> 00:48:22.800 knows about how to deal with things economically, and so maybe. 867 00:48:24.079 --> 00:48:26.360 It would be just like a larger name. 868 00:48:27.719 --> 00:48:30.320 And Thomas Frank dealing with the same kind of emo 869 00:48:30.960 --> 00:48:33.360 economic constraints that he had at Brentford now just doing 870 00:48:33.400 --> 00:48:36.360 it with a club that has a larger name and 871 00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:40.360 a longer pedigree than Brentford. Now the big question is 872 00:48:40.519 --> 00:48:44.559 for Brentford the trickle down effect. They're looking at selling 873 00:48:44.599 --> 00:48:49.400 Brian and Buomo and who do you bring in along 874 00:48:49.480 --> 00:48:52.679 the same vein as Thomas Frank, who knows how to 875 00:48:54.159 --> 00:48:57.280 deal with the budget, have a fantastic recruiting staff, make 876 00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:03.599 sure that those folks that are looking for talent can 877 00:49:03.679 --> 00:49:07.039 do so in the same economic constraints that Brentford had 878 00:49:07.119 --> 00:49:09.000 under Thomas Frank and had the same level of mid 879 00:49:09.320 --> 00:49:12.039 tables success that they had under Thomas Frank. So keep 880 00:49:12.079 --> 00:49:16.480 an eye on Brentford and the higher for Thomas Frank. 881 00:49:16.559 --> 00:49:18.599 Should the next forty eight hours come to pass and 882 00:49:18.679 --> 00:49:21.039 Thomas Frank become the new head coach at Spurs. So 883 00:49:21.639 --> 00:49:26.639 how does Brentford follow up Thomas Frank especially selling Brian 884 00:49:26.719 --> 00:49:30.440 and Bouomo and anyone else that comes knocking on Brentford's door? 885 00:49:30.639 --> 00:49:32.599 So what does Brentford do for an Encore? That to 886 00:49:32.679 --> 00:49:35.559 me is the larger question in all of this. 887 00:49:36.519 --> 00:49:38.960 Liverpool set to make a final offer worth one hundred 888 00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:42.559 and eighteen million pounds inclusive of add ons for Floyd 889 00:49:42.599 --> 00:49:45.760 and Vertz after Byer Lever Cusan rejected a one hundred 890 00:49:45.760 --> 00:49:50.079 and thirteen million pound bid. Four Letter Paper Evertson interested 891 00:49:50.159 --> 00:49:51.920 in Jack Grealish, but any move might have to be 892 00:49:51.960 --> 00:49:54.280 a loan deal because of his wages at Manchester City. 893 00:49:54.360 --> 00:49:57.679 Once again, the Four Letter Paper Real Madrid to make 894 00:49:57.760 --> 00:50:00.400 one last attempt to sun Ralel Sociod's twenty six year 895 00:50:00.400 --> 00:50:03.639 old Martin Zuba Mendi close to joining Arsenal. They've yet 896 00:50:03.719 --> 00:50:07.119 to agree with Arbi Leipzig over Benjamin Seshko, but the 897 00:50:07.199 --> 00:50:10.000 next round of talks have been scheduled. Rasmus Hoyland says 898 00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:12.519 he's not thinking about leaving Manchester United despite being linked 899 00:50:12.559 --> 00:50:16.199 with a move to inter Milan. Miles Lewis Skelly set 900 00:50:16.280 --> 00:50:18.760 to a new Arsenal deal despite interest from Real Madrid. 901 00:50:19.400 --> 00:50:22.320 Chelsea's offer of thirty five million euro for Jamie Gittens 902 00:50:22.360 --> 00:50:25.159 has been rejected by Dortmann, who are demanding fifty to sixty, 903 00:50:26.800 --> 00:50:28.800 so you're looking at a difference of at least thirteen 904 00:50:28.880 --> 00:50:32.280 million pounds on the bottom. Chelsea prepared to pay ac 905 00:50:32.400 --> 00:50:36.320 Milan up to fifteen million euro for Mikey Magnon Verona 906 00:50:36.360 --> 00:50:40.000 and Diego Coppola has interest from Bournemouth and Como. Once 907 00:50:40.000 --> 00:50:43.920 again we mentioned Victor Osimhan Jaden Sancho one player amongst 908 00:50:43.920 --> 00:50:47.159 several who Al Hilal are considering signing this summer, and 909 00:50:47.440 --> 00:50:51.840 the Italian Football Federation keen for Claudio Ranieri to take 910 00:50:52.000 --> 00:50:55.360 over after Spiletti has been let. 911 00:50:55.360 --> 00:50:58.679 Go to be the manager. 912 00:51:00.519 --> 00:51:04.239 So once again Danny Rust, Ben Jacobs, everybody sitting there 913 00:51:04.239 --> 00:51:06.400 saying there's a verbal agreement in place with Spurs and 914 00:51:06.480 --> 00:51:08.920 Thomas Frank that we'll keep an eye on that all right. 915 00:51:08.960 --> 00:51:12.199 Before Bart joins us here to start our number two, 916 00:51:12.440 --> 00:51:17.480 what I wanted to do was play the moments that 917 00:51:18.159 --> 00:51:20.440 kind of led into that are going to lead into 918 00:51:20.480 --> 00:51:24.719 our conversation with Bart. First and foremost, the US men's 919 00:51:24.840 --> 00:51:28.360 national team wasting no time, no time, no time, no 920 00:51:28.519 --> 00:51:32.360 time getting on the board in East Hartford in nasty conditions. 921 00:51:32.480 --> 00:51:36.719 It's just rainy and bah going up against turkea first minute. 922 00:51:36.840 --> 00:51:39.159 Here's Jack McGlenn courtesy of our friends at T and 923 00:51:39.199 --> 00:51:42.679 T and US Soccer. See that is given his. 924 00:51:42.880 --> 00:51:44.960 First stop with the United States today. 925 00:51:45.000 --> 00:51:46.280 Here is Richard's at. 926 00:51:46.199 --> 00:51:48.480 The Palace Stout. He went to the kay a couple 927 00:51:48.480 --> 00:51:51.519 of weeks ago. Chowman in the midfield, up to on Toughway, 928 00:51:51.880 --> 00:51:53.440 pushing the roll down the right side. 929 00:51:54.920 --> 00:51:59.559 Jock mclenns and Strip Bullard might kick it down stops 930 00:52:03.079 --> 00:52:10.719 just sixty seconds. Job, Hey, you're out of Jack McGlenn. 931 00:52:20.360 --> 00:52:23.119 And so that was Jack McGlenn scoring for the US 932 00:52:23.239 --> 00:52:25.760 men's national team. That would be the only goal that 933 00:52:25.800 --> 00:52:30.000 the US men's national team would score, and Turkilla would 934 00:52:30.000 --> 00:52:32.119 score two in quick succession. Like I said, we'll get 935 00:52:32.199 --> 00:52:35.920 into that with Bart and the the context subtext, all 936 00:52:35.960 --> 00:52:38.960 of the text. You had a one nill lead, then 937 00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:41.079 you're down to one. You don't get an equalizer, So 938 00:52:41.159 --> 00:52:43.360 we'll get into that context coming up on the other side. 939 00:52:43.599 --> 00:52:47.320 Here's Maurcio Pochettino after the match and the two to 940 00:52:47.360 --> 00:52:50.440 one lost to Turkia and East Hartford once again courtesy 941 00:52:50.480 --> 00:52:51.679 of our friends at US Soccer. 942 00:52:53.079 --> 00:52:58.840 The performance I seen was good. I think we faced 943 00:52:58.880 --> 00:53:00.400 today at the like. 944 00:53:02.320 --> 00:53:05.800 Turkey, that is a very good team with the sperience 945 00:53:05.880 --> 00:53:10.400 player player on the top. And I think this group 946 00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:13.480 of players playing for first time, I think we started 947 00:53:13.559 --> 00:53:16.239 the game so well. We played twenty minutes. I think 948 00:53:16.599 --> 00:53:20.960 in a high level. I think we did very good things, 949 00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:25.719 very posit these things one need last happen for us. 950 00:53:27.360 --> 00:53:29.920 I think, yes, it was an impact on emotional impact 951 00:53:29.960 --> 00:53:33.199 when we concede that after we score in the second action, 952 00:53:34.280 --> 00:53:36.599 after to concede the first we conceded in two minutes, 953 00:53:36.639 --> 00:53:38.880 we con see two goals. That was was difficult to 954 00:53:39.000 --> 00:53:43.559 handle for the team. And yes, that we suffer a 955 00:53:43.599 --> 00:53:45.480 litterally until to the end of the first half. But 956 00:53:45.639 --> 00:53:48.480 I think the second half with recovery, our and our 957 00:53:49.599 --> 00:53:53.639 way to perform, and I think the second half was an. 958 00:53:53.559 --> 00:53:55.039 Even game overall. 959 00:53:55.119 --> 00:53:57.519 I think maybe we can't say that we maybe we 960 00:53:57.760 --> 00:54:02.320 served the draw, but we lose. But I think we 961 00:54:02.400 --> 00:54:05.000 need to be positive because today I think only we 962 00:54:05.039 --> 00:54:15.679 can talk about only football actions soccer action, but not 963 00:54:16.199 --> 00:54:21.519 I think the team showed great energy, great mentality, great altitude, 964 00:54:22.079 --> 00:54:25.320 and then it's this type of game that maybe if 965 00:54:25.360 --> 00:54:27.199 you made a mistake, you can't lose it. 966 00:54:27.239 --> 00:54:30.119 But made a mistake because it's it's okay, it's football. 967 00:54:31.559 --> 00:54:33.440 That is why I think I am so so happy 968 00:54:33.519 --> 00:54:36.960 about in the way that I think we delivered the 969 00:54:37.000 --> 00:54:38.400 show and in the way that we. 970 00:54:39.880 --> 00:54:41.159 Try to play. 971 00:54:42.920 --> 00:54:45.519 Yes, so positive because I think we have another game 972 00:54:45.679 --> 00:54:48.400 now to prepare the Good Cup and then to face 973 00:54:48.480 --> 00:54:50.960 the World Cup in a in a good condition. 974 00:54:51.880 --> 00:54:55.239 Where's your Botchettino after the two one loss to Torquilla 975 00:54:55.480 --> 00:54:59.519 in East Hartford, and he thought that they might have 976 00:54:59.599 --> 00:55:04.920 deserved draw. But once again, you know, you're trying to navigate, 977 00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:11.000 as we were talking about with Abe, You're trying to 978 00:55:11.079 --> 00:55:13.559 figure out I guess slots twelve through twenty six or 979 00:55:13.599 --> 00:55:15.679 twelve through twenty eight. And this is where we bring 980 00:55:15.760 --> 00:55:18.960 in Bart Keeler as we break everything down on our 981 00:55:19.079 --> 00:55:21.559 Mondays and we have us, M, ME and T to 982 00:55:21.639 --> 00:55:24.079 talk about, plus the double dog show that happened in 983 00:55:24.199 --> 00:55:26.639 Seattle and anything else that popped into Bart's head. But 984 00:55:26.719 --> 00:55:32.960 first and foremost, sir, we watched what happened, and I 985 00:55:33.079 --> 00:55:36.280 made a point to play the Mercy Pochatino sound leading 986 00:55:36.719 --> 00:55:41.239 to your appearance here this morning. Uh, you know, you 987 00:55:41.360 --> 00:55:43.880 had a one nil lead, and we'll walk through it. 988 00:55:44.039 --> 00:55:46.639 But you couldn't have asked really for a better start 989 00:55:46.760 --> 00:55:50.239 going up against TURKIEB where Jack McGlenn decided to drop 990 00:55:50.280 --> 00:55:53.039 an absolute bomb from about twenty three to get things 991 00:55:53.039 --> 00:55:54.079 started in the first minute. 992 00:55:55.719 --> 00:55:58.199 Well, Jack McGlenn did what Jack McGlenn does. 993 00:56:00.239 --> 00:56:02.400 Hey, and er Leck is interested in it, so now 994 00:56:02.480 --> 00:56:02.679 we know. 995 00:56:02.880 --> 00:56:05.519 Yeah, you know, I wish he had played better at 996 00:56:05.559 --> 00:56:07.119 the rest of the game. But you know, I think 997 00:56:07.159 --> 00:56:09.159 it's also fair to ask why the dude is playing 998 00:56:09.199 --> 00:56:12.199 on the wing, But that's a whole other Well, actually 999 00:56:12.199 --> 00:56:16.840 it's a conversation for right now anyway. But I think 1000 00:56:17.480 --> 00:56:21.360 when you look back at this game and Maurico Poccino, now, 1001 00:56:21.400 --> 00:56:23.599 granted he's trying to put a positive spin on things 1002 00:56:23.599 --> 00:56:26.280 because Humboy has lost three matches in a row, but 1003 00:56:27.599 --> 00:56:29.960 it wasn't as bad as I think a lot of 1004 00:56:29.960 --> 00:56:31.679 people want to make this out to be. It just 1005 00:56:31.760 --> 00:56:35.760 truly wasn't. I think there is some perspective that is 1006 00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:39.679 being lost here. Turkey is playing, they're basically their first 1007 00:56:39.760 --> 00:56:42.559 choice lineup. Artic Gouler and others who are playing in 1008 00:56:42.599 --> 00:56:45.199 the Club World Cup chose to plan these friendlies. Now 1009 00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:48.800 this is an indictment on the US stars who are 1010 00:56:49.400 --> 00:56:54.719 too I don't know, tired to play these friendlies. But whatever, 1011 00:56:54.880 --> 00:56:57.719 they're not here, So that means that, especially when you 1012 00:56:57.760 --> 00:57:00.880 looked at the starting lineup John not first choice starting 1013 00:57:00.920 --> 00:57:06.880 lineup at all, but like one position and that was 1014 00:57:07.039 --> 00:57:11.280 one center back right, you could argue Chris Richards is 1015 00:57:11.320 --> 00:57:13.199 your only guy, and that starting eleven who is a 1016 00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:17.400 first choice guy. And so yeah, it makes sense that 1017 00:57:17.559 --> 00:57:22.440 the final fifteen minutes of the first half, maybe final 1018 00:57:22.480 --> 00:57:28.840 twenty was bad, just straight up bad, bad soccer, bad teamwork, 1019 00:57:28.960 --> 00:57:35.199 bad everything. But it wasn't like this is an unexpected 1020 00:57:35.280 --> 00:57:37.159 result when you look at the grand scheme of things 1021 00:57:37.239 --> 00:57:38.760 and then you look at what happened in the second 1022 00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:42.159 half where I felt the team well, yes, they gave 1023 00:57:42.280 --> 00:57:44.360 up some chances that they don't need to be giving up, 1024 00:57:44.960 --> 00:57:48.440 created several chances, and had some half opportunities that they 1025 00:57:48.480 --> 00:57:50.039 need to figure out how do we convert that to 1026 00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:54.000 true full opportunities. Part of that is having a striker 1027 00:57:54.039 --> 00:57:57.000 whose feet aren't made of concrete bricks. Part of that 1028 00:57:57.199 --> 00:58:00.559 is having, you know, your supposed guys who are going 1029 00:58:00.639 --> 00:58:03.760 to lead this team stepping up to play better. Part 1030 00:58:03.800 --> 00:58:05.840 of that is putting a header that you have within 1031 00:58:06.280 --> 00:58:10.480 eight yards inside the goal, not at the keeper's hands. 1032 00:58:10.679 --> 00:58:14.039 And you can look back at this game and see 1033 00:58:14.039 --> 00:58:18.320 a lot of opportunities that were missed, be it flat 1034 00:58:18.360 --> 00:58:21.719 out missed or the last connection was missed. You know, 1035 00:58:21.800 --> 00:58:25.960 it's like a classifieds in a nineteen eighties newspaper over here. 1036 00:58:26.760 --> 00:58:30.519 Oh wow, you know. So you look at. 1037 00:58:32.079 --> 00:58:36.880 Mcclenn, Malec, Tillman, Diego Luna, there were there were folks 1038 00:58:36.960 --> 00:58:41.440 that I know that you know, you have the instant 1039 00:58:41.519 --> 00:58:44.000 gravitation toward when you're sitting there and you're looking at 1040 00:58:44.079 --> 00:58:47.719 shiny objects going up in this match. But you get 1041 00:58:47.760 --> 00:58:51.199 the one Nill lead and then it comes down to 1042 00:58:51.920 --> 00:58:55.039 simple decision making and it was not a good decision 1043 00:58:55.519 --> 00:58:59.679 on the pass that created a quick turnover in an equalizer, 1044 00:58:59.840 --> 00:59:05.679 and then you're trying to from that moment forward figure out, Okay, 1045 00:59:06.119 --> 00:59:08.280 now we're tied, how do we get out of this jam? 1046 00:59:08.480 --> 00:59:11.960 And it creates another opportunity and Torquilla takes advantage of it. 1047 00:59:12.159 --> 00:59:14.719 So it comes down to it came down to I 1048 00:59:14.760 --> 00:59:18.480 think individual decisions and decision making in moments of pressure 1049 00:59:18.960 --> 00:59:22.800 that were created by Turkia trying to create short fields 1050 00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:24.239 and trying to be clinical. 1051 00:59:24.679 --> 00:59:26.480 Well, and one of those by a guy who is 1052 00:59:26.519 --> 00:59:28.480 supposed to be a leader of this team right now. 1053 00:59:28.920 --> 00:59:32.599 I mean, you have several players at his position not here, 1054 00:59:33.320 --> 00:59:35.960 and Johnny Cardoso puts out a flat up stinker. John. 1055 00:59:36.119 --> 00:59:39.480 I mean we're talking, you know, the baby had ribs 1056 00:59:39.519 --> 00:59:44.679 for the first time, stinker and it was I mean, 1057 00:59:44.880 --> 00:59:49.079 looking at his fop operating below five is atrocious, right, 1058 00:59:50.119 --> 00:59:54.559 And in that moment specifically was really bad. But he 1059 00:59:54.639 --> 00:59:57.320 also provided really nothing else. And he's a guy who 1060 00:59:57.920 --> 01:00:01.400 is kareem toward the Josh Sergeant Bro, are you actually 1061 01:00:01.480 --> 01:00:06.039 good question? Because he has yet to put out a 1062 01:00:06.079 --> 01:00:09.880 good performance for this US national team, despite looking pretty 1063 01:00:09.920 --> 01:00:12.519 good at the club level. Now you can argue he's 1064 01:00:12.559 --> 01:00:15.800 not being played in the exact way that he does 1065 01:00:15.880 --> 01:00:18.199 for real the tease. But Bro's still a deep lying 1066 01:00:18.559 --> 01:00:21.960 ish center midfielder, right. This is not like you're asking 1067 01:00:22.079 --> 01:00:25.199 him to be a left back and he's failing. 1068 01:00:25.480 --> 01:00:28.239 So we're talking deep lying ish and there was a 1069 01:00:28.280 --> 01:00:30.119 beat there and I'm like, okay, So does he mean 1070 01:00:30.199 --> 01:00:32.519 deep lying ish or does he mean deep lying ish? 1071 01:00:32.719 --> 01:00:34.800 And so it took me a second to deep dish. 1072 01:00:37.440 --> 01:00:39.840 I know if you meant that space in there for 1073 01:00:39.960 --> 01:00:43.960 deep lying deep deep lying ish or deep lying ish. 1074 01:00:44.559 --> 01:00:47.440 So it took me a second. Okay, it's a munch, but. 1075 01:00:47.639 --> 01:00:49.679 No, that's I mean, that's the thing is like. Okay, well, 1076 01:00:49.719 --> 01:00:51.400 I'm sorry that you're asking you to play a little 1077 01:00:51.400 --> 01:00:56.159 bit more as a sixth than an eight. Figure it out, man, 1078 01:00:56.440 --> 01:00:59.320 This is not that different. You know, Jay Fortune can 1079 01:00:59.360 --> 01:01:01.440 figure out how to play left back for a terrible 1080 01:01:01.440 --> 01:01:03.000 Atlanta un out of team. You could figure out how 1081 01:01:03.000 --> 01:01:05.840 to play center mid in a slightly different space. Sorry, 1082 01:01:05.920 --> 01:01:08.679 your coordinates on the field aren't exactly the same as 1083 01:01:08.679 --> 01:01:11.239 you're used to figure it out, and he's not doing it, 1084 01:01:11.800 --> 01:01:15.039 and that repeatedly has been the problem for him to 1085 01:01:15.159 --> 01:01:17.960 the point where I don't want to see him at 1086 01:01:18.000 --> 01:01:20.199 all during this Gold Cup because what has he shown me? 1087 01:01:21.519 --> 01:01:23.320 If I see him against Trinidad and Tobago and he 1088 01:01:23.400 --> 01:01:26.880 looks fine, okay, good Haysus Ferrera, did that? Look where 1089 01:01:26.880 --> 01:01:30.679 he is right now? Ask Seattle about that. Yeah, I'm 1090 01:01:30.719 --> 01:01:32.840 probably sure we will get Seattle about. 1091 01:01:32.599 --> 01:01:33.199 That in a little bit. 1092 01:01:33.400 --> 01:01:36.599 It's real, So that is you're right, John, I mean 1093 01:01:36.639 --> 01:01:38.639 the individual moments. Look, we have to say at Miles 1094 01:01:38.719 --> 01:01:43.039 Robinson was just also bad this game. He is not 1095 01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:45.639 necessarily to blame for that goal, second goal, but he 1096 01:01:45.760 --> 01:01:47.960 had a chance to clear the ball and completely fails 1097 01:01:48.039 --> 01:01:52.960 to do so. He also was not great working with 1098 01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:55.239 Richards for the rest of the match. He's not an 1099 01:01:55.280 --> 01:01:57.119 Atlanta guy anymore. So we don't have to claim him, 1100 01:01:57.119 --> 01:01:58.679 but you know, we still want him to do well 1101 01:01:58.719 --> 01:02:01.519 and he didn't. And he's had some really bad performances 1102 01:02:01.559 --> 01:02:03.159 for the US national I mean, he looked bad in 1103 01:02:03.280 --> 01:02:06.480 January camp, right, remember that going back to that, he 1104 01:02:06.639 --> 01:02:09.079 was not the guy you expected him to be in 1105 01:02:09.159 --> 01:02:12.280 a January camp roster. It's kind of sad to see, 1106 01:02:12.320 --> 01:02:16.400 to be quite honest. But John, Yeah, and that's the thing, 1107 01:02:16.559 --> 01:02:18.679 is like you're going to remember these two goals because 1108 01:02:18.719 --> 01:02:23.079 within this ban of what four minutes, everything floaded. But 1109 01:02:23.559 --> 01:02:25.960 the rest of the match was okay enough, especially the 1110 01:02:26.039 --> 01:02:26.519 second half. 1111 01:02:26.920 --> 01:02:29.679 Yes, and so let's roll through the numbers as it's 1112 01:02:30.000 --> 01:02:34.639 presented by our friends at Soccer America. Seven players getting 1113 01:02:34.719 --> 01:02:39.079 their first opportunity in this window to represent their country 1114 01:02:39.199 --> 01:02:44.440 Matt Freeze, three saves, two clears, and then the two 1115 01:02:44.519 --> 01:02:47.440 goals in four minutes. They give Freeze in his first 1116 01:02:47.559 --> 01:02:48.280 cap of five. 1117 01:02:50.960 --> 01:02:52.599 I mean, I don't think any of the goals were 1118 01:02:52.639 --> 01:03:02.079 his fault. Sure, sure he still gave up two goals, 1119 01:03:02.119 --> 01:03:03.280 but you know, I don't think any of them were 1120 01:03:03.320 --> 01:03:03.719 his fault. 1121 01:03:03.960 --> 01:03:05.239 Right defenders. 1122 01:03:05.320 --> 01:03:08.199 You mentioned Chris Richards central defense, and this is once 1123 01:03:08.239 --> 01:03:10.519 again what we always do for a baseline is go 1124 01:03:10.639 --> 01:03:13.960 to our friends at Soccer America Mike way Tala responsible 1125 01:03:14.039 --> 01:03:17.119 for this one. Central defender Chris Richards seemed to reach 1126 01:03:17.199 --> 01:03:18.920 all Turkish high balls with his head, but when the 1127 01:03:18.960 --> 01:03:20.559 Turks kept the ball on the ground, the US back 1128 01:03:20.639 --> 01:03:24.119 line became vulnerable, even had midfield help. While failing to 1129 01:03:24.159 --> 01:03:27.639 intervene before Turkulu's go ahead to make it two one. 1130 01:03:27.719 --> 01:03:30.760 During the build up, Miles Robinson and Alex Freeman both 1131 01:03:31.119 --> 01:03:34.559 tackled left back Max Arston had moved to the middle 1132 01:03:34.719 --> 01:03:37.559 when Ogu's i Den fired from the right wing. The 1133 01:03:37.599 --> 01:03:41.199 ball that deflected off of Robinson to Turkulu's feet. Right 1134 01:03:41.320 --> 01:03:44.159 back debutant Freeman out of position on Turkey's first big 1135 01:03:44.320 --> 01:03:47.199 chance when Kenan Yieldez served up artegoulair for a wide 1136 01:03:47.199 --> 01:03:50.559 open chance he had high over the bar. Debutant fared 1137 01:03:50.599 --> 01:03:53.719 okay under plenty of pressure without risking forward movement. Richard's 1138 01:03:53.760 --> 01:03:56.519 block shot steadied the back line during Turkeya's second half 1139 01:03:56.599 --> 01:03:57.320 counter attacks. 1140 01:03:57.920 --> 01:03:58.719 This is harsh. 1141 01:04:00.119 --> 01:04:03.679 Alex Freeman of three miles also gets a three from 1142 01:04:03.760 --> 01:04:06.719 Lloyd Talla. Chris Richards is six, Max Arston a four. 1143 01:04:07.840 --> 01:04:09.960 I think it's hardest on Max Arsten. I thought he 1144 01:04:10.039 --> 01:04:11.880 was better than a four, but he also only you know, 1145 01:04:12.079 --> 01:04:15.079 didn't play as much, so that's gonna factor him that now. 1146 01:04:15.159 --> 01:04:18.559 I did not think Freeman played well. John Sorry, I know, 1147 01:04:19.119 --> 01:04:21.000 I know the whole point of this camp is to 1148 01:04:21.039 --> 01:04:23.239 prop up MLS guys who have had a decent season. 1149 01:04:23.360 --> 01:04:25.760 But Freeman did not show the promise that I think 1150 01:04:25.800 --> 01:04:30.400 he brought in to camp with and certainly didn't show 1151 01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:34.159 the hype that a lot of MLS dudes have have 1152 01:04:34.760 --> 01:04:38.119 said about him. And look, like I said, I haven't 1153 01:04:38.119 --> 01:04:41.960 watched them extensively, but he hasn't looked great. Against he 1154 01:04:42.000 --> 01:04:44.440 didn't look great, and against Atlanta nined in a one game, uh, 1155 01:04:44.599 --> 01:04:46.039 and then the other game was kind of a non 1156 01:04:46.119 --> 01:04:48.920 factor because our team is unable at that point to 1157 01:04:49.119 --> 01:04:51.920 create any type of offense, So you know, that's pretty important, 1158 01:04:53.599 --> 01:04:56.559 and I just don't think he did anything worth remembering 1159 01:04:56.679 --> 01:04:59.840 to quote honest one of three on dribbles, which is 1160 01:05:00.039 --> 01:05:01.880 kind of the thing he's supposed to bring is some 1161 01:05:02.400 --> 01:05:09.800 slightly more offensive juice. But this is debut. You get 1162 01:05:09.840 --> 01:05:11.960 one bad chance and hopefully you can put it behind 1163 01:05:12.000 --> 01:05:13.960 you and you learn from it, because it is I mean, look, 1164 01:05:14.400 --> 01:05:16.519 the conditions were not great. 1165 01:05:16.920 --> 01:05:17.400 Yeah, but. 1166 01:05:20.519 --> 01:05:24.000 You're gonna play in rain, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, you 1167 01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:26.679 are got to figure it out. Yes, that that's where 1168 01:05:26.679 --> 01:05:27.639 we're at. You gotta figure it out. 1169 01:05:27.840 --> 01:05:28.039 Yeah. 1170 01:05:28.280 --> 01:05:30.599 Midfield, A false sense of comfort came over the five 1171 01:05:30.679 --> 01:05:33.239 man midfield in the early going when they easily pass 1172 01:05:33.320 --> 01:05:35.880 this together after Jack mcglenn's well it's more it was 1173 01:05:36.039 --> 01:05:38.760 more than eighteen Mike, but he's his eighteen yard Golosso 1174 01:05:39.480 --> 01:05:42.079 that cohesion waned midway through the first half when the 1175 01:05:42.119 --> 01:05:43.800 Turk shifted into an attacking gear. 1176 01:05:44.119 --> 01:05:46.880 He mentioned Johnny. Johnny took two. 1177 01:05:46.880 --> 01:05:49.480 Lazy touches near the USA's penalty spot for banging the 1178 01:05:49.519 --> 01:05:51.880 ball in Artigulaire's leg, from which it rolled into the 1179 01:05:52.000 --> 01:05:55.440 US net at one one lost the ball shortly afterward 1180 01:05:55.519 --> 01:05:57.760 in his own half for another Turkey chance, replaced at 1181 01:05:57.800 --> 01:06:01.360 halftime in a planned move. Tilman won more balls in 1182 01:06:01.400 --> 01:06:04.320 midfield than Cardoso, but after being part of the McGlenn 1183 01:06:04.360 --> 01:06:08.360 given go on the USA, early goal infrequently sparked promising attacks. 1184 01:06:08.800 --> 01:06:11.920 Besides a good cross that Luca Delatori's skied over the crossbar. 1185 01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:14.559 In the second half, still Delatori was the most capable 1186 01:06:14.639 --> 01:06:18.320 of the midfield core in progressing play forward for the USA, 1187 01:06:18.440 --> 01:06:21.679 Diego Luna initiated a counter attack that led to a 1188 01:06:21.760 --> 01:06:23.920 McGlenn block shot and a six yard headed that Tilman 1189 01:06:24.000 --> 01:06:28.199 headed into Burke User's hands. Tilman's weak effort came after 1190 01:06:28.239 --> 01:06:30.320 a strong US start to the second half that included 1191 01:06:30.400 --> 01:06:33.559 Arsten shooting high from insight the penalty area. McGlenn gets 1192 01:06:33.599 --> 01:06:37.360 a seven, now like Tilman gets a five, Johnny a two. 1193 01:06:37.519 --> 01:06:39.119 I think that's the first time I've ever seen a 1194 01:06:39.199 --> 01:06:43.199 two from Soccer America. Luca Dilatoria six, and Diego Luna 1195 01:06:43.280 --> 01:06:44.000 got a five. 1196 01:06:46.840 --> 01:06:48.719 I think that was really generous to McGlenn. I think 1197 01:06:48.760 --> 01:06:52.360 we're factoring in his goal a little too much. Look, 1198 01:06:52.440 --> 01:06:54.039 you score a banger like that, you get an extra 1199 01:06:54.079 --> 01:06:56.000 point maybe to your rating. But at the same time, 1200 01:06:56.039 --> 01:06:58.840 I don't think he who is particularly effective the rest 1201 01:06:58.840 --> 01:07:00.039 of the game. To the fact that I think I 1202 01:07:00.039 --> 01:07:04.440 think his former union teammate out shown him when he 1203 01:07:04.559 --> 01:07:09.400 came on in the second half. But Deleatoria I actually 1204 01:07:09.440 --> 01:07:12.559 thought was one of those guys that pleasantly surprised me 1205 01:07:12.639 --> 01:07:16.840 as someone who I don't know looked competent. I'm not 1206 01:07:16.920 --> 01:07:19.079 saying he looked great, looked like he knew what he 1207 01:07:19.199 --> 01:07:22.280 was doing both individually and within the team. Didn't really 1208 01:07:22.320 --> 01:07:26.679 amount to a whole whole lot. But comparing Cardoso to 1209 01:07:26.840 --> 01:07:29.159 till A Tory, he was great, and again I think 1210 01:07:29.199 --> 01:07:32.320 Tilman again just a slightly disappointing performance. Yes he gets 1211 01:07:32.400 --> 01:07:36.440 the assist heavy air on the air quotes there, John, 1212 01:07:39.440 --> 01:07:42.840 but he was again just not the dude we need 1213 01:07:42.960 --> 01:07:44.440 to see. I mean, if you're going to play in 1214 01:07:44.480 --> 01:07:48.679 that attacking midfield role and have the come in with 1215 01:07:48.760 --> 01:07:51.119 the season you had with PSV, the last two seasons 1216 01:07:51.360 --> 01:07:55.239 you've had with PSV, the production you've you've given that team, 1217 01:07:55.800 --> 01:07:57.760 and every single time he come to this national team 1218 01:07:57.760 --> 01:08:00.400 it's just meh. Again, he has yet to score for 1219 01:08:00.519 --> 01:08:04.519 his for the the USA again, another one who's kind 1220 01:08:04.559 --> 01:08:08.360 of careening into the maybe not Kreening, but you know, 1221 01:08:08.559 --> 01:08:11.119 the the a little bit of sleep of the wheel 1222 01:08:11.400 --> 01:08:15.480 and kind of moving toward that Josh Sargent camp of 1223 01:08:16.239 --> 01:08:18.039 what's the point of bringing you in when you don't produce? 1224 01:08:18.920 --> 01:08:21.119 And unfortunately for him, he is in a position where 1225 01:08:21.159 --> 01:08:24.560 production goal production is necessary. An assist is fine, but 1226 01:08:26.319 --> 01:08:30.399 again that assist was not necessarily some magical stroke of 1227 01:08:30.439 --> 01:08:32.560 the brush. That was a pass to a dude who 1228 01:08:32.560 --> 01:08:36.319 did a lot of heavy lifting after it. It just 1229 01:08:36.479 --> 01:08:39.279 hasn't been there for Tillman and that's the frustrating part 1230 01:08:39.319 --> 01:08:44.319 again for him and Cardoso. We are as fans. You 1231 01:08:44.439 --> 01:08:46.000 look at them play week in and week out for 1232 01:08:46.039 --> 01:08:48.800 their club teams, especially a guy like Cardoso who plays 1233 01:08:48.880 --> 01:08:51.560 at Real Batist, who made a conference league final and 1234 01:08:51.920 --> 01:08:55.279 you know, lost to a team that shamefully isn't playing 1235 01:08:55.319 --> 01:08:59.760 in the tournament. You know, I mean, it's not clicking 1236 01:08:59.800 --> 01:09:02.039 for some reason at the national team. And Tillman same thing. 1237 01:09:02.119 --> 01:09:04.520 I mean, he lights at at PSV, comes here and 1238 01:09:04.600 --> 01:09:07.000 it's like, bro, where is that, especially when you compare 1239 01:09:07.039 --> 01:09:09.800 him to his PSV teammates. Right, Peppy shows up to 1240 01:09:09.840 --> 01:09:14.039 the national team regularly scores, right, dust, although we haven't 1241 01:09:14.039 --> 01:09:17.680 seen him in it what feels like a decade when 1242 01:09:17.720 --> 01:09:19.560 he has played for the national team. You go, oh, 1243 01:09:19.680 --> 01:09:23.239 that dude's special, right, And so it's just really frustrating 1244 01:09:23.319 --> 01:09:26.159 that Tilman is not able to do that, especially in 1245 01:09:26.199 --> 01:09:27.960 the game that we needed him to do that. 1246 01:09:29.199 --> 01:09:30.479 Big Pat got a four. 1247 01:09:31.720 --> 01:09:34.760 Patrick Ajimung wrestling with Turkey's defenders produced a couple of 1248 01:09:34.800 --> 01:09:36.920 layoffs and corner kicks. When he finally had room to 1249 01:09:37.000 --> 01:09:39.600 Unleasha's shot from Luna's fifty third minute pass, it flew 1250 01:09:39.640 --> 01:09:40.439 straight to the keeper. 1251 01:09:40.479 --> 01:09:42.239 So Big Pat just got four on the day. 1252 01:09:42.960 --> 01:09:46.479 Yeah, homeboy, welcome to actual defending. It's not MLS anymore. 1253 01:09:46.560 --> 01:09:46.680 You know. 1254 01:09:46.720 --> 01:09:48.720 I'm sorry to say it, but MLS you know this. 1255 01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:51.079 Let me look at landing Atti center backs. Lord knows 1256 01:09:51.119 --> 01:09:53.199 they can't defend a sneeze in a paper bag. 1257 01:09:53.319 --> 01:09:57.000 But for cowboy, careful, cowboy. 1258 01:09:57.159 --> 01:10:01.439 Okay, a lot of MLS defenders cannot defend a sneeze 1259 01:10:01.479 --> 01:10:04.720 with a tissue, and some of them play for Atlania. 1260 01:10:05.359 --> 01:10:08.399 But Pat had to kind of have a wake up call, 1261 01:10:08.600 --> 01:10:10.520 and I don't think he really ever woke up to it. 1262 01:10:11.079 --> 01:10:13.880 But it's you know, because I even think with Nations League, 1263 01:10:13.920 --> 01:10:16.880 it was like, okay, well, yeah, you're playing some Panamanian 1264 01:10:17.000 --> 01:10:20.199 or Canadian defenders that are decent, but there's a level 1265 01:10:20.239 --> 01:10:23.960 of defending the Turkish players, right and a lot of 1266 01:10:24.039 --> 01:10:31.159 these very savvy, heady European players have that just we 1267 01:10:31.239 --> 01:10:34.720 don't have in this hemisphere, and they know how to 1268 01:10:34.800 --> 01:10:38.560 defend a big, strong, physical dude, and they they defended 1269 01:10:38.600 --> 01:10:41.800 it pretty well, not the showing I think he would want. 1270 01:10:41.960 --> 01:10:46.319 The problem here is John, we don't really have a 1271 01:10:46.359 --> 01:10:49.079 guy that is screaming to come off the bench behind 1272 01:10:49.159 --> 01:10:50.880 him because Brian White, if you want to get when 1273 01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:52.199 we get it to him, we'll talk about him. But 1274 01:10:52.239 --> 01:10:55.800 Brian White wasn't The answer is Damian Down's the answer. 1275 01:10:55.880 --> 01:10:57.840 I don't know. The dude's twenty and has like a 1276 01:10:58.000 --> 01:11:00.960 year and a half of professional underneath his belt, same 1277 01:11:01.000 --> 01:11:04.000 as Arguming. So it's just it's tough right now because 1278 01:11:04.039 --> 01:11:07.760 the striker selection in this particular camp is dismal. And 1279 01:11:08.039 --> 01:11:10.199 that's no offense on those guys. It's just we're talking 1280 01:11:10.239 --> 01:11:14.520 about like five six seven on the depth chart compared 1281 01:11:14.560 --> 01:11:19.199 to even a guy like you know, Ricardo Peppy or 1282 01:11:19.279 --> 01:11:21.920 possibly even a guy like Brandon Vazquez being here where 1283 01:11:21.920 --> 01:11:25.119 you just feel slightly more comfortable because you've seen them 1284 01:11:25.319 --> 01:11:26.479 do it for the national team. 1285 01:11:26.800 --> 01:11:28.560 I just haven't seen him do it for Austin FC. 1286 01:11:28.680 --> 01:11:29.439 But that's another. 1287 01:11:32.000 --> 01:11:35.239 They Hey, listen, Austin scored against US. He scored against US. 1288 01:11:35.319 --> 01:11:38.000 I can't tell you another time that Austin scored. 1289 01:11:37.800 --> 01:11:43.720 Does except for our buddy og Yeah, Og, Yeah. He 1290 01:11:43.880 --> 01:11:46.199 was at one point the second leading goal scorer for Austin. 1291 01:11:46.479 --> 01:11:48.520 But I don't think he can is eligible for national 1292 01:11:48.600 --> 01:11:50.760 team caps, and it doesn't matter what team we're talking about. 1293 01:11:51.479 --> 01:11:55.000 Tyler Adams limited to forty five minutes because fitness issues, 1294 01:11:55.079 --> 01:11:57.600 being a major improvement over Johnny no doubt, contributed to 1295 01:11:57.640 --> 01:12:00.960 a lively start to the second half. USA managed to 1296 01:12:00.960 --> 01:12:03.319 get the ball deep into the Turkish half often, but 1297 01:12:03.399 --> 01:12:05.319 had limited ideas on how to capitalize. 1298 01:12:05.399 --> 01:12:08.079 In the end. Keeper Uzer made two saves. 1299 01:12:08.520 --> 01:12:11.039 Quinn Sullivan managed to cross after some nifty moves, but 1300 01:12:11.119 --> 01:12:14.239 mis hit a shot from Hodgie Wright's most impressive service. 1301 01:12:14.319 --> 01:12:17.800 So Tyler Adams gets at six, Mark McKenzie, Hodgi Wright 1302 01:12:17.920 --> 01:12:20.600 get five's. Nathan Harriel, in his first cap, got a 1303 01:12:20.720 --> 01:12:23.039 four Quinn Sullivan his first cap get a five. 1304 01:12:23.560 --> 01:12:26.439 Ryan White got a five as well. 1305 01:12:26.880 --> 01:12:30.840 What did you say that McKenzie got, Uh, McKenzie got 1306 01:12:30.880 --> 01:12:33.880 a five according to Waytala, I. 1307 01:12:33.880 --> 01:12:36.119 Think that's harsh. I I think what we learned of 1308 01:12:36.159 --> 01:12:40.279 this game, John, most importantly is McKenzie. Now, granted, I 1309 01:12:40.319 --> 01:12:42.119 will say that they had Tyler Adams in front of them, 1310 01:12:42.239 --> 01:12:44.920 so maybe that is it, But McKenzie and Richards looked 1311 01:12:44.960 --> 01:12:45.720 best together. 1312 01:12:46.039 --> 01:12:46.279 Yeah. 1313 01:12:49.560 --> 01:12:51.439 Again, I don't think Miles had a great game. Now 1314 01:12:52.319 --> 01:12:56.479 in Miles's defense, Johnny Cardozo was doing I don't know 1315 01:12:56.560 --> 01:12:57.119 what he was doing. 1316 01:12:57.239 --> 01:12:58.359 He was. 1317 01:13:00.119 --> 01:13:04.159 Creating chances. John, You're right, here's creating chances, not Varan 1318 01:13:04.199 --> 01:13:08.520 tam And So either a, you learned that these center 1319 01:13:08.600 --> 01:13:10.560 backs are really good and probably need to be the 1320 01:13:10.600 --> 01:13:12.960 pairing you see going forward, which is still my belief. 1321 01:13:13.359 --> 01:13:16.079 But also maybe we learned be that Tyler Adams is 1322 01:13:16.199 --> 01:13:19.600 just another level of invaluable when he's on the field, 1323 01:13:19.680 --> 01:13:25.359 because not only did he mop up a lot clean 1324 01:13:25.479 --> 01:13:29.079 up a lot, but he also because of that was 1325 01:13:29.159 --> 01:13:31.680 able to then turn that into offense very quickly, mainly 1326 01:13:31.720 --> 01:13:33.960 by himself. I think Tyler, this was the best obscene 1327 01:13:34.000 --> 01:13:37.760 and play offensively for the US national team. He was inside. 1328 01:13:38.119 --> 01:13:40.760 He was inside the opponent's box creating chances John that 1329 01:13:40.960 --> 01:13:44.359 is like, I mean, welcome, but like that's just not 1330 01:13:44.479 --> 01:13:47.239 what he usually does because that's not where his positioning 1331 01:13:47.279 --> 01:13:48.520 on the field was. But I think that was the 1332 01:13:48.560 --> 01:13:52.000 result of him and other defenders. I thought, again, I 1333 01:13:52.039 --> 01:13:55.479 thought Dalatry played really well this game, but I thought 1334 01:13:55.520 --> 01:13:57.520 Tyler and Dealatori on that second have did a great 1335 01:13:57.600 --> 01:14:02.000 job of keeping Turkey from being able to truly break 1336 01:14:02.039 --> 01:14:04.239 out unless it was a long ball long right. That 1337 01:14:04.319 --> 01:14:05.760 seemed to be the only time they were able to 1338 01:14:05.840 --> 01:14:10.199 really break out of pressure. And I think that in 1339 01:14:10.319 --> 01:14:13.680 itself is another good thing to take from this game 1340 01:14:14.000 --> 01:14:18.720 is well, Yes, Tyler Adams being probably the best player 1341 01:14:18.880 --> 01:14:20.479 on the field for the US national team is not 1342 01:14:20.560 --> 01:14:24.279 a surprise, but it's nice to see. And if you 1343 01:14:24.319 --> 01:14:26.159 can get him with a guy like de la Torre, 1344 01:14:26.600 --> 01:14:29.479 who is a very good kind of clean up dude 1345 01:14:29.520 --> 01:14:33.840 as well both and you can add the quick transition 1346 01:14:33.960 --> 01:14:36.560 to offense, that is a good sign. As you got 1347 01:14:36.640 --> 01:14:38.079 to the Gold Cup where you're going to be playing 1348 01:14:38.079 --> 01:14:43.399 a team like Haiti and trinidadam Tobago who aren't great. 1349 01:14:45.279 --> 01:14:48.000 Yeah, and then but at the same time, you know 1350 01:14:48.119 --> 01:14:51.319 that you have an idea as to what they may 1351 01:14:51.520 --> 01:14:53.800 do defensively and it's going to be up to you 1352 01:14:54.000 --> 01:14:56.840 to try to work around that. Yep, when it comes 1353 01:14:56.880 --> 01:14:59.239 to Gold Cup and they start actually against Trinidad and 1354 01:14:59.319 --> 01:15:01.279 Tobago and San Jose on the weekend. 1355 01:15:01.479 --> 01:15:04.479 So that's again why I think it's positive to see 1356 01:15:04.520 --> 01:15:08.039 Tyler playing such great attacking soccer. I mean, I think 1357 01:15:08.079 --> 01:15:10.640 that was good and he and Luca did really well 1358 01:15:11.159 --> 01:15:13.680 in that phase of game. So to answer your point John, 1359 01:15:13.880 --> 01:15:16.119 of how trend adam Haiti are most likely going to 1360 01:15:16.159 --> 01:15:20.520 put I don't know, seventeen people a brick house and 1361 01:15:20.920 --> 01:15:23.279 possibly an Orca or two and in front of the net. 1362 01:15:24.279 --> 01:15:28.399 You know, having those guys show some offensive prowess was 1363 01:15:28.479 --> 01:15:29.319 really nice this game. 1364 01:15:29.960 --> 01:15:32.840 The US has a seven game winless streak against the 1365 01:15:32.840 --> 01:15:36.479 European team since beating Bosnian Herzegovina back in December twenty 1366 01:15:36.520 --> 01:15:39.600 twenty one, five game losing streaks since their twenty twenty 1367 01:15:39.640 --> 01:15:44.199 two World Cup ties against Wales in England, and that 1368 01:15:44.359 --> 01:15:49.680 sets up obviously the friendly Tuesday in Nashville. So shots 1369 01:15:49.840 --> 01:15:54.359 five to three for Turkey, shots on target thirteen to eleven. 1370 01:15:54.720 --> 01:15:58.520 That's got to be reversed. Now, that's not shots on target. 1371 01:15:58.600 --> 01:15:59.399 Thirteen shots. 1372 01:15:59.439 --> 01:16:04.000 Oh yeah, well that is reversed. But the US had 1373 01:16:04.079 --> 01:16:05.239 more shots. 1374 01:16:05.079 --> 01:16:05.880 Yeah than Turkey. 1375 01:16:06.039 --> 01:16:10.239 Yes, sure, thirteen shots to eleven and three on three 1376 01:16:10.319 --> 01:16:13.840 to five on target the target. Yeah, Soccer America has 1377 01:16:13.840 --> 01:16:16.039 the numbers flipped. Yea, they just yeah, they put the 1378 01:16:16.119 --> 01:16:20.479 wrong Yes, three saves for Matt Freeze, two on the 1379 01:16:20.560 --> 01:16:24.399 Turkish side, nine corners five for Turkey. Twenty two fouls, 1380 01:16:24.520 --> 01:16:28.039 fourteen of them called on the United States, just the 1381 01:16:28.079 --> 01:16:31.079 one off side, and then sixty forty in possession for 1382 01:16:31.439 --> 01:16:33.600 the US. Of course, when you have a two to 1383 01:16:33.640 --> 01:16:35.479 one lead, it's just like, nah, don't want it. 1384 01:16:35.560 --> 01:16:36.119 It's all good. 1385 01:16:36.199 --> 01:16:37.520 You can, you can, you know, you can do with 1386 01:16:37.520 --> 01:16:38.359 it whatever you want. 1387 01:16:38.479 --> 01:16:40.880 And then you end up where you are. 1388 01:16:41.159 --> 01:16:45.520 So now you have the second you have the second 1389 01:16:45.560 --> 01:16:49.239 friendly coming up tomorrow up in Nashville. 1390 01:16:50.560 --> 01:16:52.199 Do we know what the ticket prices are? 1391 01:16:52.279 --> 01:16:55.000 First and foremost, Well, I paid fifty five dollars a 1392 01:16:55.079 --> 01:16:57.680 ticket for my ticket, and now they're not twenty five 1393 01:16:57.760 --> 01:17:00.119 dollars because it's running a special for walkers and and 1394 01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:04.079 playing in Nashville. So thanks you as soccer for. 1395 01:17:04.119 --> 01:17:04.760 Doing that to me. 1396 01:17:09.319 --> 01:17:11.319 Oh boy, there's plenty of tickets available if you I 1397 01:17:11.359 --> 01:17:13.039 want to make the trip up. I'm leaving tonight, getting 1398 01:17:13.039 --> 01:17:15.920 on a Greyhound at four thirty and heading on up 1399 01:17:15.960 --> 01:17:16.800 to Nashville. 1400 01:17:17.000 --> 01:17:22.960 Okay, okay, So expectations in this matchup for you are. 1401 01:17:23.000 --> 01:17:29.199 What, well, I expect to add Swiss to a Turkey sandwich. 1402 01:17:29.840 --> 01:17:34.640 That's my bad joke about that this morning. I'm sorry, John, 1403 01:17:35.760 --> 01:17:38.039 I don't know, John. I mean, look, I think that 1404 01:17:39.039 --> 01:17:41.800 stat line you just laid out about European competition and 1405 01:17:41.920 --> 01:17:46.079 our lack of success against said the European competition is 1406 01:17:46.159 --> 01:17:48.279 really disheartening. You mentioned that game. 1407 01:17:48.439 --> 01:17:50.399 But at the end of the day, does it matter 1408 01:17:50.600 --> 01:17:51.960 considering Yeah, John, because you got. 1409 01:17:51.960 --> 01:17:54.319 To beat them on occasion in a World Cup. I 1410 01:17:54.399 --> 01:17:56.039 mean you got to, right, I mean that was the 1411 01:17:56.079 --> 01:17:56.840 problem where. 1412 01:17:56.960 --> 01:17:59.439 You're kicking When you're kicking tires, Does it matter in 1413 01:17:59.479 --> 01:18:01.520 the context the beach matchhup though, is my point? 1414 01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:03.479 I mean, John, we've been kicking Dan tires on this 1415 01:18:03.560 --> 01:18:06.079 team for what feels like five years now, and that's 1416 01:18:06.159 --> 01:18:08.720 the problem is eventually these guys got to show up 1417 01:18:08.720 --> 01:18:11.000 and do it. So yes, it does matter because again. 1418 01:18:11.279 --> 01:18:13.479 You got to show up and do it now again. 1419 01:18:13.640 --> 01:18:16.760 If you I think when you look at Oh, if 1420 01:18:16.800 --> 01:18:19.359 you don't loot beat Switzerland, is the sky falling? No, 1421 01:18:19.600 --> 01:18:23.239 because this is, as I laid out earlier, not your 1422 01:18:23.279 --> 01:18:28.800 first cheer choice team, not your You know, you're not 1423 01:18:28.880 --> 01:18:31.720 putting a lineup out there to necessarily say, Okay, this 1424 01:18:31.880 --> 01:18:34.600 is the best eleven I have, right even within the 1425 01:18:34.800 --> 01:18:41.159 second choice squad. For the most part, that said yes, 1426 01:18:41.359 --> 01:18:45.920 that's said you gotta start getting results. And and you 1427 01:18:46.000 --> 01:18:48.720 mentioned BOSSI John, that Bosnia game was a December friendly 1428 01:18:48.720 --> 01:18:55.880 outside of a FIFA window, So you gotta start getting something. 1429 01:18:56.600 --> 01:18:59.960 And I think more importantly, the vibes are way off 1430 01:19:00.000 --> 01:19:03.680 off with this team right now. And you had thirty 1431 01:19:03.720 --> 01:19:06.359 four thousand. I could go on to a long die 1432 01:19:06.479 --> 01:19:11.119 tribe about that. Thirty four thousand in East Hartford, Connecticut 1433 01:19:12.760 --> 01:19:16.399 in the rain. Good for them who are ready to 1434 01:19:16.479 --> 01:19:20.720 support you. You're gonna have twenty five is thousand here 1435 01:19:20.760 --> 01:19:26.560 in Nashville maybe less you know tomorrow you're rapidly losing 1436 01:19:27.880 --> 01:19:29.920 support from the fan base. That's just got to call 1437 01:19:29.960 --> 01:19:31.399 it what it is, John, And I hate to me 1438 01:19:32.199 --> 01:19:34.760 how much have we gone through that for the past 1439 01:19:34.840 --> 01:19:38.000 two years, three years, four years. It's our local club 1440 01:19:38.159 --> 01:19:41.960 right where you can't just keep selling people on promise. 1441 01:19:43.159 --> 01:19:45.319 You can't just keep selling people on oh well, we 1442 01:19:45.399 --> 01:19:50.600 have talented players. You got to win on occasion. Unfortunately, 1443 01:19:50.680 --> 01:19:54.520 and furthermore, you could possibly looking up four losses in 1444 01:19:54.600 --> 01:19:56.840 a row heading into a Gold Cup. That's not great 1445 01:19:56.880 --> 01:19:59.760 at all either. And again you can say they're friendlies, 1446 01:19:59.760 --> 01:20:03.800 and are, but we know better than anyone that in 1447 01:20:03.880 --> 01:20:09.840 the United States friendlies aren't just seen as exercises. We 1448 01:20:09.960 --> 01:20:12.439 do expect to win, especially when US Soccer is charging 1449 01:20:12.439 --> 01:20:15.319 the amount of the prices charging for tickets. And I 1450 01:20:15.399 --> 01:20:17.560 mean that sincerely. I mean that sincerely. 1451 01:20:18.159 --> 01:20:22.840 With soccer you don't up charging that much frankly, but no, I. 1452 01:20:22.840 --> 01:20:24.199 Mean that's but that's the problem is you have a 1453 01:20:24.239 --> 01:20:27.279 lot of people paying a lot of money to support 1454 01:20:27.359 --> 01:20:31.399 this team. People are paying more money for these daggum 1455 01:20:31.479 --> 01:20:33.880 Gold Cup tickets because they pretend like they are paying 1456 01:20:33.960 --> 01:20:36.760 for two matches, which is the biggest scam in the 1457 01:20:37.159 --> 01:20:45.319 Northern Hemisphere. And and that is the problem is especially 1458 01:20:45.640 --> 01:20:48.039 you know, I I even was like, why am I 1459 01:20:48.079 --> 01:20:52.960 going up? I can watch this from home, I mean 1460 01:20:53.039 --> 01:20:54.479 at the bar. But you know, for a heck of 1461 01:20:54.479 --> 01:20:56.439 a lot cheaper than whatever had cost me to get 1462 01:20:56.479 --> 01:21:03.000 there to tend the match. So I mean we're teetering on. 1463 01:21:03.720 --> 01:21:05.520 We might already be there, to be quite honest, because 1464 01:21:05.560 --> 01:21:09.399 the results since last summer have just been dismal and 1465 01:21:12.039 --> 01:21:13.680 it's not great, John, Sorry. 1466 01:21:13.479 --> 01:21:13.880 It's just not. 1467 01:21:15.439 --> 01:21:15.479 So. 1468 01:21:15.640 --> 01:21:20.520 Before we get into repping down here and activity with 1469 01:21:20.720 --> 01:21:23.279 the seattle that one of them involving new who who 1470 01:21:23.600 --> 01:21:25.039 you know, I was waiting for him to get the 1471 01:21:25.359 --> 01:21:30.680 new Who hat trick, you know, foul car injection goal, 1472 01:21:30.840 --> 01:21:33.760 you know. So we'll get into the new Who hat 1473 01:21:33.800 --> 01:21:38.880 trick in a second. But apparently Mark Polisik decided to 1474 01:21:39.039 --> 01:21:42.840 go on to the media that is social and chase 1475 01:21:42.920 --> 01:21:47.439 after don Ovan and his comments about not playing in 1476 01:21:47.640 --> 01:21:54.880 certain tournament situations, and so landed Donovan goes on television, 1477 01:21:54.880 --> 01:21:56.640 I'm not going to play it, considering the network that 1478 01:21:56.720 --> 01:21:58.920 it was attached to, in the situation that's attached to 1479 01:21:59.079 --> 01:22:01.760 and trying to sit there and say things in a 1480 01:22:01.920 --> 01:22:02.800 studio situation. 1481 01:22:02.920 --> 01:22:03.319 I get that. 1482 01:22:04.600 --> 01:22:09.760 So Mark Polisik then goes on social media and says, 1483 01:22:10.000 --> 01:22:12.239 this guy is talking about commitment. 1484 01:22:12.399 --> 01:22:13.119 Look in the mirror. 1485 01:22:13.359 --> 01:22:16.439 Plus grow a pairer and call names out or are 1486 01:22:16.520 --> 01:22:19.199 you afraid next time you want an interview you'll get 1487 01:22:19.279 --> 01:22:20.239 rejected again? 1488 01:22:21.840 --> 01:22:25.079 Oh right, well yeah sure, call him out, put on 1489 01:22:25.279 --> 01:22:29.640 blast publicly that Christian Polistic needs to show up and 1490 01:22:29.680 --> 01:22:34.039 stop belly aching, right, because that's the consensus here. As 1491 01:22:34.119 --> 01:22:37.199 you are, you committed to this national team and you 1492 01:22:37.279 --> 01:22:40.600 can look. I understand that there are some optic issues 1493 01:22:40.720 --> 01:22:43.439 with the messenger of being Landon Donovan who famously took 1494 01:22:43.479 --> 01:22:46.399 a sabbatical from this team, right, and that caused him 1495 01:22:46.439 --> 01:22:50.920 to be left off of the twenty fourteen World Cup roster. 1496 01:22:51.119 --> 01:22:54.000 And apparently the coach at the time has come out 1497 01:22:54.000 --> 01:22:56.960 publicly and said that, yes, that sabbatical did lead to 1498 01:22:57.079 --> 01:22:58.600 the decision of yeah, being a part of the. 1499 01:22:58.600 --> 01:23:03.399 Club, yeah, which is a fair question of commitment. However, 1500 01:23:05.119 --> 01:23:07.640 that was not something that was how do I put 1501 01:23:07.680 --> 01:23:12.079 this nicely? That was well known, well documented and well explained. 1502 01:23:13.439 --> 01:23:14.920 And I think that is the issue right now is 1503 01:23:15.000 --> 01:23:18.600 Christian Politic. I ain't said nothing. He himself has not 1504 01:23:18.800 --> 01:23:22.279 said a damn thing he has said to you Wes Soccer, 1505 01:23:22.319 --> 01:23:25.880 who then reported to us the things he has maybe 1506 01:23:25.960 --> 01:23:29.279 possibly said or his team or the club or whatever. 1507 01:23:29.439 --> 01:23:33.520 Has said, possibly to media about maybe a lingering issue 1508 01:23:33.680 --> 01:23:38.319 of an injury. So if you're tired of getting called out, 1509 01:23:38.439 --> 01:23:44.840 bro say something. Don't have your dad, So go on 1510 01:23:44.960 --> 01:23:47.600 an Instagram story and say something when you're mad, because 1511 01:23:47.640 --> 01:23:50.039 you're mad that they said that your son isn't committed 1512 01:23:50.039 --> 01:23:52.920 to the natural team when homeboy has not played in 1513 01:23:53.000 --> 01:23:56.720 a Gold Cup since twenty nineteen. Okay, and again, the 1514 01:23:56.840 --> 01:24:00.680 last time we saw you, Christian Polistic, you were losing 1515 01:24:01.439 --> 01:24:04.279 two games in a nation's league final, and the time 1516 01:24:04.319 --> 01:24:10.000 we saw you before that, you're failing at the Copo America, 1517 01:24:10.640 --> 01:24:13.079 first host nation to ever get grouped at a Copo America. 1518 01:24:13.359 --> 01:24:15.319 So why don't you look at yourself in the mirror, 1519 01:24:15.399 --> 01:24:20.039 Christian Polistic, mister Captain America, captain of this national team, 1520 01:24:20.880 --> 01:24:22.680 and ask yourself what are you doing to make this 1521 01:24:22.800 --> 01:24:29.000 team better? Sorry, I'm over it. I don't y'all need 1522 01:24:29.119 --> 01:24:32.439 to stop y'all meeting these players. Y'all need to stop 1523 01:24:33.000 --> 01:24:38.279 acting like we're not. We're asking something monumental of you 1524 01:24:38.439 --> 01:24:40.960 to be committed and win for this national team. With 1525 01:24:41.119 --> 01:24:43.119 a talent as much talent as you claim to have 1526 01:24:43.279 --> 01:24:44.239 in the career that you've. 1527 01:24:44.119 --> 01:24:48.479 Had, you see there you go. 1528 01:24:50.600 --> 01:24:53.560 That's why I figured, Uh, I figured bringing up the 1529 01:24:53.640 --> 01:24:58.439 topic would get get an answer this morning. I mean, uh, 1530 01:24:58.680 --> 01:25:01.720 Catalucci says that so policit can't handle a cold, rainy 1531 01:25:01.760 --> 01:25:02.520 day in Connecticut. 1532 01:25:05.600 --> 01:25:07.479 I mean it's he. 1533 01:25:07.520 --> 01:25:09.560 Probably would have, you know, heard his left toe playing 1534 01:25:09.600 --> 01:25:10.960 on this field, and then he would have been out 1535 01:25:11.000 --> 01:25:15.800 for it. I mean that's oh, but again I could 1536 01:25:15.880 --> 01:25:19.560 understand if he said, hey, look, for example, Jedi Robinson 1537 01:25:20.279 --> 01:25:22.479 saying I had have some knee probably you know, I 1538 01:25:22.560 --> 01:25:26.000 had a procedure to make sure my knee was better. Right, 1539 01:25:26.560 --> 01:25:28.319 that makes sense. Okay, now is the time to do 1540 01:25:28.399 --> 01:25:32.399 it now again. My other issue is we got guys 1541 01:25:32.720 --> 01:25:35.159 on Turkey whose teams are playing in the Club World Cup. 1542 01:25:35.159 --> 01:25:36.760 Who they're going to be playing with those teams? Arda 1543 01:25:36.800 --> 01:25:39.239 Guler is playing in the Club World Cup with real 1544 01:25:39.680 --> 01:25:40.439 frickin Madrid. 1545 01:25:42.159 --> 01:25:46.800 Mm hmm, but he's here mm hmmm. 1546 01:25:47.079 --> 01:25:49.840 Poltic, you ain't got an excuse. Your club ain't doing 1547 01:25:49.920 --> 01:25:53.479 crap this summer? Where are you, bro? You couldn't even 1548 01:25:53.520 --> 01:25:54.560 make it for these friendlies? 1549 01:25:57.399 --> 01:26:00.600 Yeah, and I mean that's uh what well? And yes, 1550 01:26:00.720 --> 01:26:04.279 Milanicaly is a nice place for exile. Uh, let's get 1551 01:26:04.399 --> 01:26:08.359 into some of the the the reffing down here moments 1552 01:26:08.399 --> 01:26:10.159 of the weekend. And really we only have to go 1553 01:26:10.239 --> 01:26:15.479 to one place, and and it is Seattle, and it 1554 01:26:15.560 --> 01:26:19.560 was technically Vancouver. Yes, involve it, Yes, thank you, involving 1555 01:26:20.119 --> 01:26:23.920 involving Seattle and our and our man knew who, and 1556 01:26:24.279 --> 01:26:25.399 he wasn't the only one. 1557 01:26:26.079 --> 01:26:32.319 But nevertheless, when was the last time you saw a 1558 01:26:32.760 --> 01:26:35.760 literally a back to back. 1559 01:26:37.039 --> 01:26:41.880 Red like we had for Seattle where they go from 1560 01:26:41.960 --> 01:26:48.199 eleven B eleven to eleven B nine rather quickly.

I know, that's a lot 1574 01:27:25.279 --> 01:27:26.279 violent conduct. 1575 01:27:26.319 --> 01:27:29.720 Apparently, that okay, good, because I want That's what I 1576 01:27:29.760 --> 01:27:31.640 wanted to talk about here, John, This is not dog 1577 01:27:31.800 --> 01:27:33.960 So so I'll let you run through the thing, but 1578 01:27:34.239 --> 01:27:36.640 I'll explain why the red card was given for what 1579 01:27:36.760 --> 01:27:37.520 it was given for. 1580 01:27:39.000 --> 01:27:43.960 So knew who sent off for violent conduct? 1581 01:27:44.239 --> 01:27:45.600 Well wait a second, let me see if this is 1582 01:27:45.640 --> 01:27:49.399 in fact the correct match first and foremost, because God 1583 01:27:49.600 --> 01:27:50.840 knows knew who. 1584 01:27:51.119 --> 01:27:52.840 Yeah, knew who's had his fair share. 1585 01:27:52.920 --> 01:27:55.640 Knew who is knew who is a Oh no, this 1586 01:27:55.840 --> 01:27:59.720 is like old Okay, so knew who red card? 1587 01:28:00.279 --> 01:28:02.600 Hang on, I need to figure out how to find 1588 01:28:02.640 --> 01:28:07.000 these match reports literally, because again, when a referee reports 1589 01:28:07.079 --> 01:28:09.720 this both writes it in his book and reports it 1590 01:28:09.760 --> 01:28:12.159 to the league, there is a okay. 1591 01:28:12.520 --> 01:28:18.399 So so all right, so I have one report saying 1592 01:28:18.800 --> 01:28:23.039 that it was foul as the last defender, which I 1593 01:28:23.079 --> 01:28:23.920 don't think it was. 1594 01:28:24.680 --> 01:28:26.920 It wasn't, and that's why I want to talk about it. Yeah, 1595 01:28:27.319 --> 01:28:28.960 this is the talking point of the morning with it. 1596 01:28:29.359 --> 01:28:29.680 Okay. 1597 01:28:30.000 --> 01:28:36.800 So I'm looking at trying to figure out why knew 1598 01:28:36.840 --> 01:28:40.079 who got sent off and. 1599 01:28:41.960 --> 01:28:44.479 It is literally. 1600 01:28:49.039 --> 01:28:53.359 So everyone is sitting here saying that it was last 1601 01:28:53.680 --> 01:28:58.600 defender in references and I am not seeing anything to 1602 01:28:58.760 --> 01:29:04.319 the contrary about it being something other than last defenders. 1603 01:29:04.479 --> 01:29:08.359 So let's go through the play. We can't show it 1604 01:29:08.439 --> 01:29:14.159 because we get dinged from the official police type folks. 1605 01:29:14.840 --> 01:29:18.119 But so as we as we walk through the play, 1606 01:29:18.600 --> 01:29:20.680 as we are wont to do, as we do these things, 1607 01:29:21.600 --> 01:29:24.560 so long pass. It's a big switch going from left 1608 01:29:24.560 --> 01:29:28.600 to right, and it is this is this beautiful past 1609 01:29:28.920 --> 01:29:35.439 late late in the fifty first minute, so Long up 1610 01:29:35.520 --> 01:29:40.079 the right hand side and Laborda heads it down to 1611 01:29:40.359 --> 01:29:47.600 himself Knew who basically grabs Laborda and it's almost to 1612 01:29:47.720 --> 01:29:49.880 the point to where it is a it is a 1613 01:29:50.039 --> 01:29:55.439 hog caller. Literally, you're you're you're grabbing and Knew who 1614 01:29:55.560 --> 01:29:59.920 grabs Laborda on his near shoulder, left shoulder, and Base 1615 01:30:00.760 --> 01:30:04.800 rips and pulls and spins Laborda down and it's an 1616 01:30:04.880 --> 01:30:09.439 easy call. But they're saying from there are reports that 1617 01:30:09.800 --> 01:30:12.479 say that it was because Knew, who was the last 1618 01:30:12.760 --> 01:30:18.920 defender between Laborda and the net, it's given the call. 1619 01:30:19.119 --> 01:30:21.520 And I'm like, no, it's he's not. 1620 01:30:22.039 --> 01:30:23.560 And that's the problem that I have with this is 1621 01:30:23.720 --> 01:30:26.119 I do think it's fair to say that at the 1622 01:30:26.239 --> 01:30:31.560 time of the foul there aren't many defenders back. But 1623 01:30:32.119 --> 01:30:33.960 I'll tell you why. I don't think this is dog sell. 1624 01:30:35.680 --> 01:30:36.800 But it is still a red card. 1625 01:30:37.439 --> 01:30:40.640 Yeah, no, yeah, that is true. 1626 01:30:41.159 --> 01:30:43.720 Yeah, to me, it's not dog soo because I think 1627 01:30:43.760 --> 01:30:45.560 when you look at the defenders, I think it's fair 1628 01:30:45.600 --> 01:30:48.880 to say knew who was the last defender, right, but 1629 01:30:49.000 --> 01:30:51.039 there are other defenders in the area and the reason 1630 01:30:51.119 --> 01:30:53.239 there are other defenders in their area who have a 1631 01:30:53.359 --> 01:30:56.079 playable chance on the ball. Right, that's not the official terminology, 1632 01:30:56.119 --> 01:30:58.479 but we're looking at like, can can you in theory 1633 01:30:59.079 --> 01:31:02.600 defend this play right, not even with in theory, in 1634 01:31:03.159 --> 01:31:09.640 realistic expectation within this play the distance and direction toward 1635 01:31:09.720 --> 01:31:11.800 goal or why I don't think this is dog so 1636 01:31:12.000 --> 01:31:15.000 because this is he is still far out in the 1637 01:31:15.239 --> 01:31:20.800 far right channel about twenty five yards from the touch 1638 01:31:20.880 --> 01:31:24.960 line or excuse me, from the goal line, possibly at 1639 01:31:25.000 --> 01:31:26.479 that point. I'm not good at math, but that's at 1640 01:31:26.560 --> 01:31:29.239 least thirty five yards from goal itself. If I'm looking 1641 01:31:29.319 --> 01:31:33.920 at trit econometry, there you know sign co signed tangent. 1642 01:31:35.319 --> 01:31:40.479 I I don't think this is dog so for those reasons, 1643 01:31:40.640 --> 01:31:42.239 and I don't even think you could say that even 1644 01:31:42.279 --> 01:31:44.319 in those reasons, he's the last defender. I think there 1645 01:31:44.359 --> 01:31:46.640 are two other defenders who again are in a reasonable, 1646 01:31:46.760 --> 01:31:50.560 reasonable position. Especially is it roll Don who's playing in 1647 01:31:50.600 --> 01:31:54.000 that left center back role for them, maybe is making 1648 01:31:54.079 --> 01:31:58.079 a recovery run that in my opinion. 1649 01:31:58.039 --> 01:31:58.720 That was not rolled on. 1650 01:31:58.800 --> 01:32:03.439 It's the other one who if knew, who doesn't make 1651 01:32:03.520 --> 01:32:06.880 this play. It's probably going to be based on how 1652 01:32:06.920 --> 01:32:09.880 we're moving making a play on the ball, or at 1653 01:32:09.960 --> 01:32:13.680 least within reason and able to get there. So I 1654 01:32:13.800 --> 01:32:16.439 do not agree that this is dog. So, however, John, 1655 01:32:17.279 --> 01:32:20.600 this is serious foul play. Yes, this is a red card. 1656 01:32:20.680 --> 01:32:24.560 You cannot horse collar tackle someone like this. I mean, 1657 01:32:24.600 --> 01:32:26.279 how many times have you seen that in a high 1658 01:32:26.279 --> 01:32:29.119 school or college or pro game on the high on 1659 01:32:29.199 --> 01:32:32.399 the foot on the American football side of things, mister foot, 1660 01:32:32.479 --> 01:32:34.319 mister Georgia high school football. 1661 01:32:34.359 --> 01:32:36.920 And you know, the. 1662 01:32:39.760 --> 01:32:42.279 Back judge, side judge, line judge, all would have had 1663 01:32:42.279 --> 01:32:46.960 their flags out on this one because this is this 1664 01:32:47.159 --> 01:32:51.399 is this is penalty, this personal foul penalty, right, and 1665 01:32:51.600 --> 01:32:54.840 so from that standpoint, this is absolutely a red card. 1666 01:32:55.520 --> 01:32:58.840 I just disagree slightly that it's dogs. So I do 1667 01:32:59.039 --> 01:33:02.079 think though that it's serious foul play, possibly violent conduct. 1668 01:33:02.119 --> 01:33:04.439 But I'll give him serious foul play because it's within 1669 01:33:04.520 --> 01:33:06.079 the realm of trying to play soccer. 1670 01:33:06.560 --> 01:33:11.760 Yeah, sure, some folks might sit there and say that 1671 01:33:11.760 --> 01:33:17.720 there are times when knew who doesn't, But well, yeah, uh, 1672 01:33:17.880 --> 01:33:20.720 the only thing I'm seeing, literally the only thing I 1673 01:33:20.840 --> 01:33:21.359 am seeing. 1674 01:33:21.920 --> 01:33:26.359 It's possible they wrote it that way. It is because 1675 01:33:26.680 --> 01:33:29.399 this is the thing, John, This red card is not 1676 01:33:29.600 --> 01:33:33.279 going to go to var No, because this is on 1677 01:33:33.479 --> 01:33:35.359 multiple counts of red card, Like, this is not a 1678 01:33:35.439 --> 01:33:38.800 clear and obvious error. No, So I'm sure the referee 1679 01:33:38.840 --> 01:33:39.520 wrote dog. 1680 01:33:39.399 --> 01:33:41.800 Sell was not for anybody else. 1681 01:33:41.880 --> 01:33:44.640 Well, yeah, the referee may have wrote in his book 1682 01:33:44.920 --> 01:33:47.640 dogs or foul as elastpin or whatever their code is, 1683 01:33:47.880 --> 01:33:49.880 and that probably is what made it to the match report. 1684 01:33:50.239 --> 01:33:52.359 I think had you had a chance to look at this, 1685 01:33:52.920 --> 01:33:54.960 they would agree that it's not dog sew. But it's 1686 01:33:55.000 --> 01:33:59.479 still a red card worthy. But still it's still violent conduct, 1687 01:33:59.560 --> 01:34:02.520 serious play, some of those things. And to be fair, 1688 01:34:02.640 --> 01:34:04.680 sometimes you kind of have to combine a lot of things. 1689 01:34:04.760 --> 01:34:07.760 It's at least stopping a promising attack, and it's at 1690 01:34:07.880 --> 01:34:10.840 least a reckless foul. And while you don't necessarily put 1691 01:34:10.880 --> 01:34:14.439 those together an equal red, it's it's all red. You know, 1692 01:34:14.520 --> 01:34:18.840 it all comes out red in the wash, you know. Yeah, 1693 01:34:19.359 --> 01:34:21.319 it's a bad foul. John, This is this is bad. 1694 01:34:21.399 --> 01:34:23.079 I I would not be surprised if there is a 1695 01:34:23.159 --> 01:34:26.079 fine coming his way because of the nature of this foul. 1696 01:34:26.640 --> 01:34:30.079 H I don't I don't know if it's worthy any 1697 01:34:30.239 --> 01:34:34.119 more suspension. I don't know. That's up to the Disco 1698 01:34:34.239 --> 01:34:39.640 committee because again, it's not violent conduct. I don't think 1699 01:34:39.680 --> 01:34:42.199 it's sad. It's within the realm of playing soccer. This 1700 01:34:42.359 --> 01:34:46.079 is literally a soccer play. Yeah, but I mean this 1701 01:34:46.199 --> 01:34:47.920 is at least a flight a flagrant too. 1702 01:34:47.960 --> 01:34:51.680 You know, yeah, yeah, yeah, it is. 1703 01:34:52.239 --> 01:34:57.479 So he'll get suspended his match, maybe maybe two uh, 1704 01:34:58.199 --> 01:35:00.800 whatever the penalties are. And then and I would imagine 1705 01:35:00.840 --> 01:35:03.079 he'll get a fine. I don't know if there'll be 1706 01:35:03.159 --> 01:35:05.039 more than that, because again it's not like he threw 1707 01:35:05.079 --> 01:35:07.239 a punch or play with stopped and he did this. 1708 01:35:07.720 --> 01:35:10.159 If that makes sense, No, it does. It absolutely sound. 1709 01:35:10.600 --> 01:35:13.960 And then, of course, though I haven't seen one like 1710 01:35:14.000 --> 01:35:16.960 this in a very long time. Yeah, And so three 1711 01:35:17.039 --> 01:35:21.319 minutes later, three minutes later, Jonathan Bell. 1712 01:35:21.960 --> 01:35:24.399 By the way, a lot happened within those three minutes 1713 01:35:24.720 --> 01:35:26.760 in the match too, which is kind of the fun part. 1714 01:35:26.840 --> 01:35:28.720 It's like it wasn't like, oh well and they did 1715 01:35:28.760 --> 01:35:31.479 it again. No, there was stuff that happened within the match. Yeah, 1716 01:35:32.600 --> 01:35:36.520 Vancouver mounted like at least two attacks and then yeah, 1717 01:35:36.680 --> 01:35:38.920 I'll let you walk through it because it's yeah. 1718 01:35:39.000 --> 01:35:43.560 And so legitimately you're like, yeah, knew, who gets the 1719 01:35:43.640 --> 01:35:50.239 red And then you have activity in the middle. Then 1720 01:35:50.279 --> 01:35:52.399 you have a shot just why to the target in 1721 01:35:52.439 --> 01:35:55.840 the fifty fourth and so Stephen Fry is getting ready 1722 01:35:55.920 --> 01:35:59.840 to go. Now then you end up with once again 1723 01:36:00.520 --> 01:36:06.960 another long ball over the top and then just contact from. 1724 01:36:06.960 --> 01:36:10.800 Bell and Bell's minimal contact. I hate it for him, but. 1725 01:36:10.880 --> 01:36:14.079 Belle's like no, no, no, no no, and then it's it. 1726 01:36:15.079 --> 01:36:19.079 It's like literally John Bell just like he grabs briefly 1727 01:36:20.199 --> 01:36:22.720 and it's almost like a clicking. It's almost like a 1728 01:36:22.760 --> 01:36:28.119 clicking of the boots. And then Priso goes down and 1729 01:36:28.319 --> 01:36:30.600 then you see Bell go no no, no, no no, 1730 01:36:30.720 --> 01:36:34.239 and then it goes red card and literally it's yeat 1731 01:36:34.359 --> 01:36:36.840 the well. And the thing is is that it is 1732 01:36:37.399 --> 01:36:42.039 clicking of the boots one each and then Preso worse 1733 01:36:42.159 --> 01:36:46.560 by contact with himself and makes it. Then his own 1734 01:36:46.680 --> 01:36:49.520 contact with himself is what makes him go down. Now, 1735 01:36:50.000 --> 01:36:53.319 so clicking of the boots and then hits himself goes 1736 01:36:53.399 --> 01:36:55.640 down just outside the eighteen and then that's a red. 1737 01:36:56.600 --> 01:36:56.800 Yeah. 1738 01:36:57.039 --> 01:36:59.279 I do hate this for Bell. This is a soft 1739 01:36:59.399 --> 01:37:02.560 red card in the sense that, look, the foul is 1740 01:37:04.279 --> 01:37:07.039 minimal at best, but he clearly trips them. I mean 1741 01:37:07.079 --> 01:37:08.640 you can see it. He very clearly trips them. He 1742 01:37:08.760 --> 01:37:12.479 very clearly makes contact with him. But he is in 1743 01:37:12.560 --> 01:37:16.000 the position here where while there may be other defenders 1744 01:37:16.039 --> 01:37:21.159 in the realm, right, they are on the field in 1745 01:37:21.279 --> 01:37:24.640 a generally same area. This the reason why this is 1746 01:37:24.680 --> 01:37:27.039 definitely dogged so is because you're looking at the distance 1747 01:37:27.119 --> 01:37:29.960 to goal and the direction of play, and he is 1748 01:37:30.000 --> 01:37:32.399 pretty much going in on goal. The foul happens. I 1749 01:37:32.439 --> 01:37:34.439 don't know, would you say that nineteen yards out? 1750 01:37:34.479 --> 01:37:37.920 I mean, that's that's sorry, it's Emmanual Sobby. It's not 1751 01:37:38.079 --> 01:37:40.640 rough priso, but yeah, it is on Emmanuel Sabby. Yeah, 1752 01:37:40.840 --> 01:37:41.920 just outside the eighteen. 1753 01:37:42.159 --> 01:37:44.720 It's it's very close to I mean, he's lucky that 1754 01:37:44.800 --> 01:37:46.600 he didn't take another step or two and that could 1755 01:37:46.600 --> 01:37:49.119 have possibly just been a penalty, which means he wouldn't 1756 01:37:49.119 --> 01:37:52.319 have got a red card, by the way, but it's 1757 01:37:52.520 --> 01:37:54.800 dogged so unfortunately for him, and that's why he gets 1758 01:37:54.880 --> 01:37:58.840 in off. It's not a particularly bad foul. It's maybe clumsy, 1759 01:37:59.600 --> 01:38:02.079 but you know, it's not a bad foul. This would 1760 01:38:02.079 --> 01:38:03.800 have This happens a lot in soccer where you just 1761 01:38:03.880 --> 01:38:07.039 catch someone's ankle and that, yeah, that's a foul. But 1762 01:38:07.239 --> 01:38:10.000 because of the distance, the direction of goal, of the 1763 01:38:10.079 --> 01:38:12.000 distance that the I mean, the player is very clearly 1764 01:38:12.079 --> 01:38:15.880 in control of the ball, it's dog. 1765 01:38:15.760 --> 01:38:20.760 So for all those reasons, Okay, so explain why it 1766 01:38:20.920 --> 01:38:24.880 would not be a red in that situation, because I 1767 01:38:24.960 --> 01:38:26.640 know a lot of folks will sit there and they'll 1768 01:38:26.680 --> 01:38:30.159 go dog so red when it's either one or the 1769 01:38:30.239 --> 01:38:31.800 other and not both, so. 1770 01:38:32.079 --> 01:38:35.680 Dog so red and dog so yellow. We really only 1771 01:38:35.720 --> 01:38:39.760 reserve dog so yellow for fouls inside the penalty area 1772 01:38:39.920 --> 01:38:43.520 that are denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity. But the 1773 01:38:43.600 --> 01:38:46.199 fouls have to be in some way, shape or form 1774 01:38:46.279 --> 01:38:49.439 within a natural soccer play. So this would have been 1775 01:38:49.680 --> 01:38:52.239 I think in that conversation it is tripping. It's not 1776 01:38:52.439 --> 01:38:55.720 like he yanked him down from behind or just ran 1777 01:38:55.800 --> 01:38:59.479 into him right he is with There is nothing and 1778 01:38:59.520 --> 01:39:03.079 again we're not judging intent, but there's nothing serious about this. 1779 01:39:03.800 --> 01:39:08.239 There's nothing cynical about this. There's nothing to the point 1780 01:39:08.279 --> 01:39:10.039 of like, oh, well, he clearly didn't have a chance. 1781 01:39:10.039 --> 01:39:11.439 He's just trying to run and catch up with the 1782 01:39:11.520 --> 01:39:14.159 dude and he clips him from behind. Right, So in 1783 01:39:14.279 --> 01:39:17.279 that case, this is a natural soccer play, if that 1784 01:39:17.399 --> 01:39:20.119 makes any sense, Like this is something we see all 1785 01:39:20.199 --> 01:39:21.920 the time in the game where people are running next 1786 01:39:21.960 --> 01:39:23.960 to each other. It's fine. He just happens to be 1787 01:39:24.560 --> 01:39:26.960 half a step slower and clips him on the heels. 1788 01:39:27.439 --> 01:39:30.680 So if that happens inside the penalty area, yes it's 1789 01:39:30.680 --> 01:39:33.680 still dogs. So but because we give a penalty kick, 1790 01:39:34.000 --> 01:39:36.680 we do not want to punish the team more than 1791 01:39:36.760 --> 01:39:39.479 already giving them a penalty kick, which in today's day 1792 01:39:39.479 --> 01:39:41.560 and age, is very much likely going to result in 1793 01:39:41.640 --> 01:39:44.199 a goal. I think the actually a penalty kick is 1794 01:39:44.239 --> 01:39:46.640 still like point seventy three, so you know, the chances 1795 01:39:46.680 --> 01:39:52.039 are you're scoring that even with Stephan frying goal. And 1796 01:39:52.199 --> 01:39:55.239 so we don't want to what be called put them 1797 01:39:55.279 --> 01:39:57.239 in double jeopardy where they are now down a goal 1798 01:39:57.760 --> 01:40:01.239 and down a man. So, oh, I don't even know 1799 01:40:01.279 --> 01:40:03.760 how long it's been, maybe ten years now they removed 1800 01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:08.640 that aspect of the dog. So inside a penalty area 1801 01:40:08.760 --> 01:40:11.439 for a common foul, if that's the best way to 1802 01:40:11.520 --> 01:40:11.760 put it. 1803 01:40:12.079 --> 01:40:15.920 Yeah, So that was that was why I wanted to 1804 01:40:16.039 --> 01:40:18.119 because folks will sit there and they'll wave at one, 1805 01:40:18.159 --> 01:40:19.920 and they'll sit there and go, well, why wasn't it both? 1806 01:40:19.960 --> 01:40:22.039 And that was why I wanted to walk through that 1807 01:40:22.159 --> 01:40:24.920 because there are times where you'll you'll see literally you 1808 01:40:24.960 --> 01:40:27.760 will see fans who might be watching a match or 1809 01:40:27.800 --> 01:40:29.600 they'll be at a match and they'll sit there and look, well, 1810 01:40:29.640 --> 01:40:32.840 why wasn't it you know, A and B as opposed 1811 01:40:32.840 --> 01:40:34.279 to A or so. 1812 01:40:34.800 --> 01:40:37.239 For example, John, a handball inside the penalty area for 1813 01:40:37.760 --> 01:40:40.520 denying an obvious goal scoring opportunity. That's a red card 1814 01:40:40.640 --> 01:40:43.279 because duh, that's not an actual soccer Player're not allowed 1815 01:40:43.319 --> 01:40:46.399 to use your hands on the sport. Another one could 1816 01:40:46.439 --> 01:40:51.239 be so for example, maybe not quite what new Who did, 1817 01:40:51.359 --> 01:40:54.079 but grabbing someone by the shoulder and pulling them down 1818 01:40:54.159 --> 01:40:56.960 could be seen as not a soccer play, right that is, 1819 01:40:59.159 --> 01:41:01.439 especially from behind like that you could still give a 1820 01:41:01.600 --> 01:41:05.239 red card for that, but like you know, just slightly 1821 01:41:05.319 --> 01:41:08.800 being off on your on your challenge shoulder to shoulder, 1822 01:41:08.840 --> 01:41:11.920 that slightly miss, not really tripping from behind, and this 1823 01:41:12.119 --> 01:41:17.640 instance not really so again, common fouls that are still 1824 01:41:17.680 --> 01:41:19.680 dogs o. And this is a perfect example, right, this 1825 01:41:19.840 --> 01:41:22.880 is John. Look, this is a common foul. I don't 1826 01:41:22.880 --> 01:41:25.279 think again, I don't think there's anything wrong with it. Look, 1827 01:41:25.359 --> 01:41:29.119 you trip them, it's fine, But you happen to be 1828 01:41:29.159 --> 01:41:32.439 the last defender on a goal scoring opportunity, and therefore 1829 01:41:32.479 --> 01:41:34.840 the foul to not the obvious goal scoring opportunity. It's 1830 01:41:34.880 --> 01:41:36.840 dog soa it's red card. If that happens in the 1831 01:41:36.960 --> 01:41:39.640 penalty area, it's probably just yellow. It should be just 1832 01:41:39.680 --> 01:41:41.239 too yellow and get the penalty kick. 1833 01:41:41.439 --> 01:41:45.359 So okay, all right, so you are heading north? So 1834 01:41:45.600 --> 01:41:47.359 when are you heading north and getting everything? 1835 01:41:47.439 --> 01:41:50.880 My greyhound bus leaves at four thirty eight, a very 1836 01:41:51.000 --> 01:41:53.239 precise time. So I'm taking a grand Hound up and 1837 01:41:53.279 --> 01:41:56.199 then I'm coming back tomorrow after the game with some 1838 01:41:56.279 --> 01:41:58.760 of the friends who are going up tomorrow. They you know, 1839 01:41:59.159 --> 01:42:01.119 must be nice to not real jobs. They can drive 1840 01:42:01.199 --> 01:42:03.119 up and back. I'm kidding. They have real jobs. 1841 01:42:03.159 --> 01:42:03.720 They just have the. 1842 01:42:03.760 --> 01:42:06.439 Ability to drive up and back the same day. I don't. 1843 01:42:06.479 --> 01:42:08.920 I gotta work tomorrow. I saw I'm working from Nashville tomorrow. 1844 01:42:09.039 --> 01:42:13.479 There, don't tell my boss that you're working from Nashville. 1845 01:42:13.720 --> 01:42:15.880 No, I've I've got it cleared. I was like, I'm 1846 01:42:15.920 --> 01:42:17.039 working from home on Tuesday. 1847 01:42:17.319 --> 01:42:21.439 Yes, I'm working from home on Tuesday. Yes, absolutely true. 1848 01:42:21.960 --> 01:42:24.920 It's just a home happens to be wherever the laptop. Yeah. No, 1849 01:42:25.039 --> 01:42:27.800 I'm right there with you, all right. So the most 1850 01:42:27.920 --> 01:42:30.520 recent episode of the Soccer for US pod is out. 1851 01:42:30.680 --> 01:42:31.359 What else do we need? 1852 01:42:32.439 --> 01:42:35.279 We may record Wednesday, depending on what my energy levels 1853 01:42:35.319 --> 01:42:38.239 are to recap these friendlies and look at the Gold Cup. 1854 01:42:38.279 --> 01:42:41.800 I think our goal is to get an idea of 1855 01:42:41.920 --> 01:42:44.039 who we think are starting eleven should be for the 1856 01:42:44.079 --> 01:42:46.560 Gold Cup. But as we discussed in the last episode, 1857 01:42:47.079 --> 01:42:49.720 that's even still tricky because are you putting your best 1858 01:42:49.760 --> 01:42:56.000 eleven out against Trinidad when probably the most important game 1859 01:42:56.079 --> 01:42:59.239 is that game against Saudi Arabia Or do you just say, look, 1860 01:42:59.279 --> 01:43:01.199 we got to get all points that we can. We're 1861 01:43:01.199 --> 01:43:03.119 putting our best eleven out there as best as possible, 1862 01:43:03.119 --> 01:43:05.479 as many times as possible. That's the kind of the 1863 01:43:05.560 --> 01:43:07.600 balancing act. Now, if you remember John, the Gold Cup 1864 01:43:07.640 --> 01:43:12.640 schedule fields compressed. You go Sunday, Thursday, Sunday, but then 1865 01:43:12.680 --> 01:43:14.760 you get a whole week off because the quarterfinals don't 1866 01:43:14.760 --> 01:43:20.359 start until Saturday, the twenty eighth yeah, twenty eight, and 1867 01:43:20.439 --> 01:43:22.079 so we'll either play the twenty eighth or twenty ninth 1868 01:43:22.159 --> 01:43:24.000 for a semi final, and then you play a quarter 1869 01:43:24.600 --> 01:43:27.600 excuse me, a quarterfinals. Then you have semi finals midweek 1870 01:43:27.880 --> 01:43:32.119 final on a Sunday, So it's like two compressed schedules, 1871 01:43:32.159 --> 01:43:33.720 but you get a whole week off in between them. 1872 01:43:33.880 --> 01:43:36.800 So that's the question of how much do you put 1873 01:43:36.800 --> 01:43:40.119 out there in that group stage to beat Trinidad, to 1874 01:43:40.199 --> 01:43:43.399 beat Haiti. I would argue, John, you need to run 1875 01:43:43.479 --> 01:43:46.039 up the score as much as possible against Trinidad because 1876 01:43:46.560 --> 01:43:50.520 Saudi is a good team and you can't guarantee you're 1877 01:43:50.520 --> 01:43:53.119 gonna win that game. So if you go out there 1878 01:43:53.159 --> 01:43:59.399 and put ten on Trinidad hopeful that puts you in 1879 01:43:59.439 --> 01:44:02.760 a good position even if you don't beat Saudi Arabia 1880 01:44:02.840 --> 01:44:04.840 but still don't lose. If you tie them, you know 1881 01:44:05.079 --> 01:44:08.359 you're still feeling good, especially Haiti on the last match 1882 01:44:08.439 --> 01:44:10.560 day as well to possibly get some more goals. So 1883 01:44:11.840 --> 01:44:13.640 it's just tricky, John, I think that's the hard part 1884 01:44:13.680 --> 01:44:17.960 about this, these two friendlies with the not having the 1885 01:44:18.000 --> 01:44:22.319 first choice guys, is if you're using these friendlies to 1886 01:44:22.439 --> 01:44:27.600 learn about Gold Cup positioning, great if you're using these 1887 01:44:27.640 --> 01:44:29.720 friendlies to learn about who can and can't compete at 1888 01:44:29.760 --> 01:44:33.279 a World Cup later, possibly also good. But it's just 1889 01:44:33.359 --> 01:44:35.039 kind of tough because I feel like you got a 1890 01:44:35.079 --> 01:44:37.840 lot of goals that aren't necessarily How do we get 1891 01:44:37.880 --> 01:44:40.439 the best twenty six together next summer? 1892 01:44:41.239 --> 01:44:44.680 Yeah, so obviously we're going to be watching and keeping 1893 01:44:44.720 --> 01:44:47.079 an eye and following along as we go through. 1894 01:44:47.479 --> 01:44:49.920 I do have a question, John, if you'll let me sure, 1895 01:44:51.359 --> 01:44:54.560 Planet John, Sorry, Planet John, not you John, Planet John. 1896 01:44:54.560 --> 01:44:56.920 In the chat, what where is the link to this 1897 01:44:57.119 --> 01:44:59.920 Athletico Dallas stadium plans Because the only thing I've seen 1898 01:45:00.760 --> 01:45:03.880 regarding them is the training facility plans, which look great, 1899 01:45:03.920 --> 01:45:07.520 and the you know, the big multi million dollars soccer complex. 1900 01:45:07.600 --> 01:45:11.079 So I'd love to see where you're seeing the stadium 1901 01:45:11.159 --> 01:45:15.399 plan discussion, because that's been one of my harp the 1902 01:45:15.479 --> 01:45:17.399 things I've harped on is a lot of USL teams 1903 01:45:17.439 --> 01:45:19.640 who claim they're going to somehow massive, magically be better 1904 01:45:19.720 --> 01:45:23.039 than MLS teams when pro rel gets instituted don't have 1905 01:45:23.239 --> 01:45:27.279 stadiums of their own. And I think that's a vital 1906 01:45:27.319 --> 01:45:30.680 piece of the pie here that no one's really factoring 1907 01:45:30.760 --> 01:45:32.479 in but I would love to see that because I 1908 01:45:32.520 --> 01:45:36.560 think Athletico Dallas fantastic crust. I'd love to see what 1909 01:45:36.600 --> 01:45:37.359 they're going to do with it. 1910 01:45:37.960 --> 01:45:41.319 Yes, and so obviously keeping on all of that, we 1911 01:45:41.439 --> 01:45:42.800 know what our title game is going to be in 1912 01:45:42.960 --> 01:45:46.720 USL Super Zigue, and we will see what it looks 1913 01:45:46.840 --> 01:45:50.119 like elsewhere in and around everything. Just be safe going 1914 01:45:50.199 --> 01:45:53.119 up there, have fun, and make sure that you take 1915 01:45:53.119 --> 01:45:55.600 a lot of notes, and this is going to be 1916 01:45:55.680 --> 01:45:58.199 your busy time, a lot of notes. Yes, Yeah, well, 1917 01:45:58.199 --> 01:46:00.840 it's going to be your busy time with us involving everything, 1918 01:46:00.920 --> 01:46:04.600 involving the national teams, involving Gold Cup, and we're we're 1919 01:46:04.640 --> 01:46:08.600 going to budget you with the actual paying gigs as 1920 01:46:08.640 --> 01:46:10.359 best we can as always. 1921 01:46:10.239 --> 01:46:13.720 John can, I can I also share a conspiracy theory? Sure, 1922 01:46:14.840 --> 01:46:18.600 USL Super League? Sure, where is the us L headquarter? 1923 01:46:19.520 --> 01:46:21.560 I believe it is headquartered in Tampa, Florida. 1924 01:46:21.880 --> 01:46:24.159 Okay, And both of these teams that made the final 1925 01:46:24.479 --> 01:46:25.239 are from which. 1926 01:46:25.119 --> 01:46:26.840 State I believe that would be Florida. 1927 01:46:26.920 --> 01:46:30.319 So yes, couldn't have written a better script for him? Yeah, well, 1928 01:46:30.399 --> 01:46:32.920 I mean it's I'm joking they earned it, but yeah, 1929 01:46:32.960 --> 01:46:34.720 it's just kind of it's coincidental, ain't it? 1930 01:46:35.039 --> 01:46:38.760 And where is the where is the championship game being played? 1931 01:46:38.960 --> 01:46:42.560 I believe that will be in the great city, mildly 1932 01:46:42.600 --> 01:46:43.840 good city of Tampa, Florida. 1933 01:46:44.239 --> 01:46:48.239 See, I'm actually and it's and it's and it's at 1934 01:46:48.319 --> 01:46:56.319 that that constructed beautiful riverfront, bayfront medium that that that 1935 01:46:56.479 --> 01:46:58.439 hosts the the Tampa Bay Sun. 1936 01:46:58.600 --> 01:47:01.359 So yep, uh yeah, so four be good for them. 1937 01:47:01.439 --> 01:47:02.359 I think this has been fun. 1938 01:47:02.560 --> 01:47:04.319 Yeah, it's going to be fun. So we'll keep an 1939 01:47:04.319 --> 01:47:06.199 eye on it as we go. Enjoy the rest of 1940 01:47:06.199 --> 01:47:07.840 your day, my friend.

But yeah, 1946 01:47:21.880 --> 01:47:24.520 all right, there goes bart and so Rich. Good to 1947 01:47:24.560 --> 01:47:26.920 see you popping in to say hi, as always, nice 1948 01:47:26.960 --> 01:47:29.720 to have you here. All right, so let's get into 1949 01:47:29.960 --> 01:47:33.039 all of the other news. Apparently, as it is laid 1950 01:47:33.119 --> 01:47:41.399 out the code, the the release clause for Thomas Frank 1951 01:47:42.119 --> 01:47:46.640 has laid out to about ten pounds and so that 1952 01:47:46.920 --> 01:47:49.439 is the that is the the check that has to 1953 01:47:49.520 --> 01:47:55.399 be cut for Thomas Frank to be going from Brentford to. 1954 01:47:57.159 --> 01:47:57.560 Spurs. 1955 01:47:58.199 --> 01:48:00.880 And so keep an eye on the the ten million, 1956 01:48:01.119 --> 01:48:05.079 the ten million dollars that goes from one place to 1957 01:48:05.159 --> 01:48:08.520 the next. And so we will see, we will see 1958 01:48:08.560 --> 01:48:12.079 what the latest is there when it comes to that 1959 01:48:12.239 --> 01:48:17.439 particular matchup. Souh, ten million, that's what we were, That's 1960 01:48:17.479 --> 01:48:21.960 what we're staring at. So ten million is the it 1961 01:48:22.119 --> 01:48:26.560 is the number for Thomas Frank to be laid out 1962 01:48:27.119 --> 01:48:28.560 to go from one place. 1963 01:48:28.960 --> 01:48:30.680 To the other. 1964 01:48:31.039 --> 01:48:33.680 So that's that's what we'll keep an eye on when 1965 01:48:33.720 --> 01:48:38.279 it comes to that particular matchup and that particular new 1966 01:48:38.680 --> 01:48:43.800 line on his new line on his dossier, his CV. 1967 01:48:44.359 --> 01:48:46.960 And so that's where uh, that's that's where we are 1968 01:48:47.039 --> 01:48:50.239 when it comes to that. Let's see, I'm trying to 1969 01:48:50.279 --> 01:48:53.880 think of what other stuff I had that was listed. 1970 01:48:54.279 --> 01:48:57.000 Oh oh oh oh oh, yeah, we got to talk 1971 01:48:57.039 --> 01:48:57.760 about that, all right. 1972 01:48:57.920 --> 01:49:02.399 So we know that it looks like. 1973 01:49:03.880 --> 01:49:08.319 The wages for the Club World Cup are a bit 1974 01:49:08.359 --> 01:49:12.119 of an issue at the moment, and you have players 1975 01:49:12.359 --> 01:49:16.119 for Major League Soccer who are less than pleased with 1976 01:49:16.319 --> 01:49:22.560 the layout of how much, who's getting what and where? 1977 01:49:24.039 --> 01:49:25.840 So you've got. 1978 01:49:27.439 --> 01:49:28.920 Where is it? Where is it? Where's where is it? 1979 01:49:28.920 --> 01:49:33.359 Where's it? It's in the news section. Where's my news section? Here? 1980 01:49:33.439 --> 01:49:36.840 I don't need I need headlines, but I don't need Uh. 1981 01:49:38.520 --> 01:49:39.079 Where was it? 1982 01:49:39.159 --> 01:49:40.960 And so it's like I go to the one place 1983 01:49:41.000 --> 01:49:45.600 where I thought I could find it, and then of course, uh. 1984 01:49:46.079 --> 01:49:47.720 Where is it? Where is it? Where is It's? 1985 01:49:47.840 --> 01:49:47.880 Not? 1986 01:49:48.039 --> 01:49:48.960 There? Not there? 1987 01:49:49.159 --> 01:49:54.439 Not there Portugal beating Spain third straight loss. Nations League reaction. 1988 01:49:55.039 --> 01:49:58.159 That was not what I was looking for. But okay, 1989 01:49:59.119 --> 01:50:02.239 all right, so what if we did this? So if 1990 01:50:02.279 --> 01:50:06.199 we go here and get that? Okay, so here we go. 1991 01:50:07.279 --> 01:50:12.640 This is from Lizzie Bescherano. At all, discussions between MLS 1992 01:50:12.760 --> 01:50:18.800 and the pa up prize money and player compensation remain 1993 01:50:18.920 --> 01:50:21.479 on going, two sides failing to agree so far on terms. 1994 01:50:21.520 --> 01:50:25.479 In a newly revised section of the CBA Seattle Players 1995 01:50:25.520 --> 01:50:28.640 once again we mentioned that with the t shirts, MLSPA 1996 01:50:28.760 --> 01:50:31.479 initially released a statement and supported the player's actions two 1997 01:50:31.520 --> 01:50:33.399 parties demanding a fair share of the Club World Cup 1998 01:50:33.439 --> 01:50:36.199 prize money team secured and qualified for the international tournament. 1999 01:50:37.319 --> 01:50:40.279 Original CBA stated players received fifty percent of the money 2000 01:50:40.319 --> 01:50:42.560 from outside tournaments with a cap of a million dollars. 2001 01:50:42.560 --> 01:50:44.840 Source with knowledge of the discussions told the Four Letter 2002 01:50:44.880 --> 01:50:48.079 that a revised proposal from MLS committed to grant players 2003 01:50:48.680 --> 01:50:51.279 on the three participating teams twenty percent of the performance 2004 01:50:51.319 --> 01:50:54.960 related payments for wins, draws, and round advancement. Players collectively 2005 01:50:55.000 --> 01:50:57.880 would receive a million dollars for participation, in addition to 2006 01:50:57.960 --> 01:51:01.800 any money earned for victory's draws around callification throughout the tournament. Separately, 2007 01:51:02.479 --> 01:51:05.119 LAFC earned a quarter of a million dollars collectively for 2008 01:51:05.199 --> 01:51:08.039 the victory against Clubamerica in the playoff May thirty first 2009 01:51:08.079 --> 01:51:11.039 to secure a spot in the tournament. MLSPA received the 2010 01:51:11.119 --> 01:51:13.920 proposal back on Friday. Source with knowledge of the discussions 2011 01:51:13.960 --> 01:51:17.159 added MLSPA demanded a larger percentage, but has not formally 2012 01:51:17.239 --> 01:51:21.399 responded to the league's proposal. In a statement, however, MLSPA 2013 01:51:21.479 --> 01:51:25.399 called the actions taken by MLS as quote, retaliatory, end quote, 2014 01:51:25.439 --> 01:51:31.079 and unsatisfactory quote. In the statement, the timing, substance and 2015 01:51:31.159 --> 01:51:33.920 retaliatory nature of the proposal sends a clear message MLS 2016 01:51:33.960 --> 01:51:36.359 does not respect or value players' efforts with regard to 2017 01:51:36.399 --> 01:51:39.239 this tournament. Although not surprised, the players in MLSPA deeply 2018 01:51:39.279 --> 01:51:42.479 disappointed by this message. MLS's refusal to negotiate in good 2019 01:51:42.520 --> 01:51:45.079 faith has created a major distraction for the players who 2020 01:51:45.079 --> 01:51:49.079 should be focusing on preparing for a major international competition. However, 2021 01:51:49.159 --> 01:51:51.880 players will not be silenced by threats from MLS. Players 2022 01:51:51.920 --> 01:51:54.560 remain united in using their collective voice in demanding a 2023 01:51:54.640 --> 01:51:56.479 fair share of the rewards earned for their hard work. 2024 01:51:56.600 --> 01:52:01.840 End Quote organization later added that MLS introduced quote back 2025 01:52:02.000 --> 01:52:06.119 end compensation of twenty percent, an amount that remains below 2026 01:52:06.159 --> 01:52:10.239 the international standard end quote and also Quote did not 2027 01:52:10.359 --> 01:52:12.680 add a single dollar for players from the twenty eight million, 2028 01:52:12.680 --> 01:52:14.880 six hundred and fifty thousand dollars win fall that MLS 2029 01:52:14.880 --> 01:52:17.760 will be paid by FIFA. According to the MLSPA, the 2030 01:52:17.760 --> 01:52:20.479 player's share of that amount remains at barely ten percent. 2031 01:52:21.439 --> 01:52:23.520 Two sides have yet to agree on new terms, making 2032 01:52:23.600 --> 01:52:26.079 the current CBA the standard of work. Stoppage by MLS 2033 01:52:26.119 --> 01:52:28.760 players over the bonus dispute isn't possible due to provisions 2034 01:52:28.800 --> 01:52:31.920 in the CBA. Under the current CBA, players have agreed 2035 01:52:31.960 --> 01:52:34.399 not to strike over issues that fall within the scope 2036 01:52:34.520 --> 01:52:36.319 of the agreement, but they still have the right to 2037 01:52:36.399 --> 01:52:40.239 engage in protected actions under federal labor law. And once 2038 01:52:40.239 --> 01:52:44.319 again that is from Jeff Carlisle and Lizzie Bescherano when 2039 01:52:44.359 --> 01:52:51.279 it comes to the latest involving all of those numbers, 2040 01:52:51.479 --> 01:52:54.520 and trust me, it's a lot of numbers that are 2041 01:52:54.680 --> 01:52:58.840 attached to all of it. I'm trying to see if 2042 01:52:58.840 --> 01:53:02.520 there is anything else that. 2043 01:53:02.600 --> 01:53:07.800 Would be attached to the latest. 2044 01:53:07.880 --> 01:53:12.239 It's like so nothing there, nothing there, nothing there. Edward 2045 01:53:12.359 --> 01:53:20.520 of Tansley at the Athletic as of the overnight once 2046 01:53:20.640 --> 01:53:25.239 again best clubs in the world. What do I need 2047 01:53:25.319 --> 01:53:27.720 to know about the lesser known teams? Auckland City the 2048 01:53:27.800 --> 01:53:30.600 only reps from Oceania have won the Champions League there 2049 01:53:30.640 --> 01:53:34.479 eleven times in fourteen years. Botha Fogo ad E and 2050 01:53:34.600 --> 01:53:36.800 f groups only have one European team, so teams from 2051 01:53:36.800 --> 01:53:39.000 another continent will progress to the Round of sixteen from 2052 01:53:39.039 --> 01:53:42.199 these groups. In group H Al Hilal and Pachuca should 2053 01:53:42.239 --> 01:53:46.640 challenge Salzburg for second behind Real Madrid. Obviously, the favorites 2054 01:53:46.680 --> 01:53:51.239 are PSG, who once again demolished Inter Milan five mil 2055 01:53:51.239 --> 01:53:56.279 in the Champions League final. Real Madrid obviously attached Manchester City. 2056 01:53:56.359 --> 01:53:57.039 That's attached. 2057 01:53:57.960 --> 01:53:59.600 You've got a lot of the big names that are 2058 01:54:00.039 --> 01:54:03.680 attached as well. Real Madrid will have Shabi Alonso in 2059 01:54:03.720 --> 01:54:07.199 the dugout and former Liverpool defender Trent Alexander Arnold set 2060 01:54:07.239 --> 01:54:09.920 to make his Madrid debut after they paid the fee 2061 01:54:10.279 --> 01:54:12.159 for him to join for the tournament. Liam d Lapp 2062 01:54:12.159 --> 01:54:14.920 could make his debut for Chelsea. Inter Milan will have 2063 01:54:14.960 --> 01:54:17.640 a new manager, expected to be former defender Christian Chievu 2064 01:54:17.760 --> 01:54:20.960 after Inzagi left for Al Hilal. Other deals could see 2065 01:54:21.000 --> 01:54:25.680 Jonathan Toff feature for Bayern Munich and Georgino for Flamingo. 2066 01:54:26.119 --> 01:54:29.880 So that is that's what you're that's what you're looking at. 2067 01:54:29.920 --> 01:54:35.039 But remember right now, you've got grass being installed at 2068 01:54:35.079 --> 01:54:40.760 Mercedes Benz Stadium. Grass grass, grass, grass, So we'll see 2069 01:54:40.800 --> 01:54:43.600 what happens. We'll see what happens there. What to watch, 2070 01:54:43.600 --> 01:54:44.960 Where to watch it, how to watch it. It's a 2071 01:54:45.000 --> 01:54:50.079 light day today. World Cup qualifying Italy and Moldova's at 2072 01:54:50.119 --> 01:54:53.399 two forty five and International Friendly coming up at noon 2073 01:54:53.439 --> 01:54:56.720 Eastern Liechtenstein and Scotland. Both of those are on FS two. 2074 01:54:57.359 --> 01:54:59.880 Fox deport As is in the middle of a broadcast 2075 01:55:00.159 --> 01:55:03.760 the U twenty tournament, the Maurice Riveo, Panama and France 2076 01:55:03.800 --> 01:55:05.479 at the bottom of the hour of Fox Soccer, plus 2077 01:55:05.560 --> 01:55:08.800 as World Cup qualifying Kazakhstan and North Macedonia going on 2078 01:55:09.000 --> 01:55:11.800 right now, should be started the second half and at 2079 01:55:11.800 --> 01:55:16.239 two forty five it is Estonia and Norway. And speaking 2080 01:55:16.279 --> 01:55:18.119 of qualifying, I saw this and this was kind of 2081 01:55:18.239 --> 01:55:22.680 like a really cool h This was a really cool 2082 01:55:24.680 --> 01:55:28.279 stat from our friends at I want to say it 2083 01:55:28.359 --> 01:55:32.199 was at the sweeper Pod, but it has to do 2084 01:55:32.319 --> 01:55:36.720 with our friends at San Marino. And the wild thing 2085 01:55:36.800 --> 01:55:43.359 about this is you have the possibility and this came 2086 01:55:43.399 --> 01:55:48.199 out yesterday of San Marino having a thirty four percent 2087 01:55:48.439 --> 01:55:52.920 chance to reach the World Cup playoffs. And you know 2088 01:55:53.000 --> 01:55:56.199 how we are about our friends from San Marino. Their 2089 01:55:56.279 --> 01:56:00.359 most probable semi final opponent if they make it of 2090 01:56:00.760 --> 01:56:06.520 this weekend would be Italy first and foremost sixteen percent chance, 2091 01:56:07.119 --> 01:56:11.159 and then Turquilla at eleven percent. Then it would be Ukraine, Denmark, Croatia, Belgium, 2092 01:56:11.159 --> 01:56:14.640 Switzerland and France. That's your top eight and most probable 2093 01:56:14.680 --> 01:56:19.760 semi final opponents. To reach the playoffs, San Marino needs 2094 01:56:19.960 --> 01:56:25.840 both Romania and Sweden to finish top two in their 2095 01:56:25.920 --> 01:56:30.399 World Cup qualifying groups. The list of most likely playoff 2096 01:56:30.439 --> 01:56:33.399 opponents for every European team is once again available for 2097 01:56:33.520 --> 01:56:36.680 our friends from our friends at Football Meets Data. But 2098 01:56:37.399 --> 01:56:41.600 the fact that San Marino of all countries has a 2099 01:56:41.720 --> 01:56:45.359 thirty four percent chance of reaching the World Cup playoffs 2100 01:56:48.079 --> 01:56:52.640 and our friends at sweeper Pod san Marino versus Italy, 2101 01:56:53.840 --> 01:56:55.760 and it would be the first time I think that 2102 01:56:56.359 --> 01:57:02.680 you have a completely and totally landlocked playing another. 2103 01:57:02.119 --> 01:57:06.119 Nation to be a part of the tournament. So you 2104 01:57:06.279 --> 01:57:09.479 got that, You've got that to hang on to. 2105 01:57:11.079 --> 01:57:14.960 Other news just to kind of wander around before we 2106 01:57:15.039 --> 01:57:18.359 get out of here today. And once again we've mentioned, 2107 01:57:18.840 --> 01:57:26.119 We've mentioned Thomas Frank. We mentioned Thomas Frank once again. 2108 01:57:26.199 --> 01:57:28.560 That's about another forty eight hours. Keep an eye on that. 2109 01:57:29.439 --> 01:57:32.359 Newcastle is stepping up their pursuit of Pedro after missing 2110 01:57:32.399 --> 01:57:36.119 out on Brian and Buomo and apparently also according to 2111 01:57:36.199 --> 01:57:41.279 Newcastle and our friend Luke Edwards at the Telegraph, the 2112 01:57:41.359 --> 01:57:45.800 club's deals are being blocked by prices and restrictions because 2113 01:57:45.840 --> 01:57:50.640 of PSR. Newcastle growing increasingly frustrated by rival clubs putting 2114 01:57:50.640 --> 01:57:54.640 a Saudi tax on transfer Saudi taxing quotation marks and 2115 01:57:54.800 --> 01:57:59.920 refusing to be held to ransom over key targets. Telegraphs 2116 01:58:00.159 --> 01:58:05.520 Port have been kind of privy to the negotiations for 2117 01:58:05.560 --> 01:58:07.479 players of mid warnings there's not enough money to spend 2118 01:58:07.560 --> 01:58:09.399 large amounts on each of the four players they want 2119 01:58:09.439 --> 01:58:12.199 to sign. Senior club sources believe a so called Saudi 2120 01:58:12.279 --> 01:58:14.800 tax has plagued the club since to take over the PIF. 2121 01:58:15.800 --> 01:58:16.800 As a result, they're. 2122 01:58:16.600 --> 01:58:19.600 Trying to explain to rival clubs that there is a 2123 01:58:20.119 --> 01:58:23.560 warped perception of their spending power. They remain heavily restrained 2124 01:58:23.560 --> 01:58:28.479 by PSR profit and sustainability. New contract for Esach also 2125 01:58:28.560 --> 01:58:31.399 in the pipeline. Talks are expected to start in next month. 2126 01:58:31.520 --> 01:58:35.479 Newcastle can't spend upward of sixty pounds on players when 2127 01:58:35.520 --> 01:58:39.239 wages are also a consideration. Although the sale of Mickey 2128 01:58:39.279 --> 01:58:41.399 and Lloyd Kelly brought in around twenty five and has 2129 01:58:41.439 --> 01:58:43.960 given Newcastle some flexibility, there isn't a lot of headroom. 2130 01:58:44.239 --> 01:58:47.720 According to Luke Edwards, Newcastle targeting a keeper looks like 2131 01:58:47.760 --> 01:58:51.279 it's Burnley's James Trafford, center back, right sided forward and 2132 01:58:51.319 --> 01:58:54.680 a striker, depending on player sales and other midfielder could arrive, 2133 01:58:54.800 --> 01:58:58.760 especially if long staff is expected to depart, so an 2134 01:58:58.840 --> 01:59:01.840 example of the whole Saudi tax thing comes within Boomo 2135 01:59:01.920 --> 01:59:06.359 as an example, Cameronian was identified as a leading target 2136 01:59:06.479 --> 01:59:10.199 two weeks ago, but once again the wage demands as 2137 01:59:10.239 --> 01:59:12.239 well as the transfer fee of more than sixty million 2138 01:59:12.319 --> 01:59:14.560 pounds proved to be too expensive a deal to pursue, 2139 01:59:15.479 --> 01:59:17.960 and Boomo would have likely been their highest earner if 2140 01:59:17.960 --> 01:59:20.560 he had signed. That would have inevitably prompted others at 2141 01:59:20.600 --> 01:59:23.319 the club to ask for parody, which moves your wage 2142 01:59:23.399 --> 01:59:23.840 bill up. 2143 01:59:24.760 --> 01:59:27.720 And then if you don't sign folks. 2144 01:59:28.640 --> 01:59:31.199 To match what Brian and Buomo would have been making, 2145 01:59:31.319 --> 01:59:33.760 then you got pissed off people that are playing for you, 2146 01:59:33.880 --> 01:59:37.720 that are on your roster. Negotiations with ESAC will what 2147 01:59:37.800 --> 01:59:40.199 will be difficult, according to Edwards, bringing in new players 2148 01:59:40.239 --> 01:59:43.840 on significantly more money than that. Once again it's fraught 2149 01:59:43.920 --> 01:59:49.239 with danger. Semeno and Ilanga have been discussed extensively, born 2150 01:59:49.319 --> 01:59:53.199 with the Nottingham Forest. Jew Pedro another player who's been 2151 01:59:53.239 --> 01:59:57.800 repeatedly scouted, seen as a strong potential signing, but Jeel 2152 01:59:57.840 --> 02:00:01.800 Pedro's price tag could be upward of seventy million pounds. Then, 2153 02:00:01.840 --> 02:00:05.560 once again, the mount outbound plus the wage bill could 2154 02:00:05.600 --> 02:00:07.560 make it difficult for you, and so that's where your 2155 02:00:07.640 --> 02:00:10.359 cycle is. James Mcattee is liked by Eddie how could 2156 02:00:10.359 --> 02:00:13.439 be available for twenty five not getting in a first 2157 02:00:13.520 --> 02:00:17.239 team minutes under Pep Guardiola at City. Mohammed Kudus is 2158 02:00:17.279 --> 02:00:21.319 another player that they're looking at at west Ham. Mark 2159 02:00:21.399 --> 02:00:24.880 gay Hee is valued at around forty million. Crystal Palace 2160 02:00:24.920 --> 02:00:29.239 of explored a deal involving Usban Diamande if gay He goes, 2161 02:00:30.199 --> 02:00:33.239 and so that Luke Edwards article over at the Telegraph 2162 02:00:33.319 --> 02:00:35.640 kind of breaks down what it looks like right now 2163 02:00:36.479 --> 02:00:39.600 for folks to chase after things inside the walls at 2164 02:00:39.680 --> 02:00:44.640 Newcastle and they have to be very very careful about 2165 02:00:45.039 --> 02:00:46.880 how they're going to be spending their money so they 2166 02:00:46.920 --> 02:00:50.439 don't fall in line and violate PSR. So that's the 2167 02:00:50.840 --> 02:00:58.479 largest element there involving our friends at Newcastle. Then in mckail, 2168 02:00:58.479 --> 02:01:02.119 Antonio is nearing an exit as apparently he and west 2169 02:01:02.159 --> 02:01:07.479 Ham cannot agree on terms. We've mentioned Robert Lewandowski before 2170 02:01:07.479 --> 02:01:10.560 we get out of here. Lewandowski says, as long as 2171 02:01:10.640 --> 02:01:15.159 Probierre's is the coach, he ain't gonna play. He's been 2172 02:01:15.279 --> 02:01:18.960 left feeling betrayed and very hurt by Probierres after quitting 2173 02:01:19.000 --> 02:01:21.800 the setup because of a row over losing the captaincy, 2174 02:01:22.720 --> 02:01:25.039 stripped of the armband on Sunday by Probierres, who is 2175 02:01:25.039 --> 02:01:30.119 appointed midfielder Peter Zelinsky as captain instead. Lewandowski then announced 2176 02:01:30.159 --> 02:01:32.279 he was quitting the national team, citing a loss of 2177 02:01:32.399 --> 02:01:34.479 trust in the coach, refusing to return to play for 2178 02:01:34.560 --> 02:01:36.720 his country as long as the coach remains in charge. 2179 02:01:37.319 --> 02:01:40.520 It's been in charge since twenty three. Lee led the 2180 02:01:40.560 --> 02:01:43.640 team at the Euros last summer quote, I hope I 2181 02:01:43.680 --> 02:01:45.279 will still have another chance to play again for the 2182 02:01:45.319 --> 02:01:49.239 best fans in the world. Lewandowski was scathing in his 2183 02:01:49.319 --> 02:01:52.319 criticism of how Probierres handled the situation, quote, I haven't 2184 02:01:52.359 --> 02:01:54.760 been captain for a year or two. I've been wearing 2185 02:01:54.800 --> 02:01:56.560 the armband for eleven years. I've been playing for the 2186 02:01:56.640 --> 02:01:58.800 national team for seventeen. Seemed to me that such matters 2187 02:01:58.800 --> 02:02:01.560 should be handled differently. Everything was communicated over the phone. 2188 02:02:02.840 --> 02:02:05.359 Really shouldn't be like this. The coach betrayed my trust. 2189 02:02:05.399 --> 02:02:07.640 The national team has always been the most important thing 2190 02:02:07.680 --> 02:02:09.840 to me. At the same time, I'm very hurt by 2191 02:02:09.880 --> 02:02:12.039 what has happened. It's not even about the decision regarding 2192 02:02:12.079 --> 02:02:14.359 the armband, but about the way it was communicated to me. 2193 02:02:14.560 --> 02:02:15.079 End quote. 2194 02:02:16.479 --> 02:02:19.800 Press conference Monday, Probier said he called Lewandowski Sunday night 2195 02:02:21.479 --> 02:02:24.880 from Finland or Poland play on Tuesday. Robert replied, the 2196 02:02:25.000 --> 02:02:27.359 armband means nothing and it won't change anything in the team. 2197 02:02:27.399 --> 02:02:30.840 According to Probier's about a second call later that evening, 2198 02:02:30.920 --> 02:02:33.600 Probiers said, quote, he told me to make it sound 2199 02:02:33.680 --> 02:02:36.359 like he had given up the armband. I replied that 2200 02:02:36.439 --> 02:02:39.119 I wouldn't do that. Later I learned from the media 2201 02:02:39.159 --> 02:02:41.000 that Robert had given up playing for the national team. 2202 02:02:41.039 --> 02:02:42.479 No one is closing the door on him, but I 2203 02:02:42.560 --> 02:02:44.600 wish him luck. There are situations in life when you 2204 02:02:44.640 --> 02:02:46.760 get offended and then you move on. In football, you 2205 02:02:46.840 --> 02:02:50.359 can't get offended. When I asked whether he considered retiring 2206 02:02:50.399 --> 02:02:54.560 from international football altogether, Lewandowski also accused Probiers of caving 2207 02:02:54.680 --> 02:02:59.399 into media pressure and breaking agreements. Lewandowski said, I want 2208 02:02:59.399 --> 02:03:00.800 to sit down and think about it all calmly. You 2209 02:03:00.840 --> 02:03:02.119 need to catch my breath and I will be able 2210 02:03:02.159 --> 02:03:03.800 to say more about my thoughts and what's next. 2211 02:03:04.560 --> 02:03:04.880 Today. 2212 02:03:04.920 --> 02:03:07.359 There is regret and anger. I've always cared a lot 2213 02:03:07.359 --> 02:03:09.560 about the national team. Nothing has changed in that respect. 2214 02:03:09.960 --> 02:03:10.399 End quote. 2215 02:03:12.159 --> 02:03:14.840 So one hundred and fifty eight appearances, forty nine more 2216 02:03:14.880 --> 02:03:19.720 than a Yakablajakowski pull in face Finland and Helsinki Tuesday night, 2217 02:03:19.800 --> 02:03:21.920 trying to get their one hundred percent record and keep 2218 02:03:22.000 --> 02:03:24.640 that intact for qualifying for the World Cup for twenty six. 2219 02:03:25.840 --> 02:03:28.359 So that's your rundown of everything going on today. I'm 2220 02:03:28.399 --> 02:03:30.279 sure we've left some news on the table, and I 2221 02:03:30.359 --> 02:03:33.199 apologize for that, but we'll be back at it again 2222 02:03:33.680 --> 02:03:37.039 tomorrow morning at nine oh five. Lucas Panziku's going to 2223 02:03:37.079 --> 02:03:42.359 be calling the match for UH Westwood one along with 2224 02:03:42.479 --> 02:03:44.199 Jamie Watson going to join us bat and lead off. 2225 02:03:44.199 --> 02:03:45.800 We'll see if Jamie can join us too. We'll get 2226 02:03:45.800 --> 02:03:47.640 you through your Tuesday. We'll talk about what happened in 2227 02:03:47.640 --> 02:03:50.199 the weekend in Major League Soccer outside of the Double 2228 02:03:50.319 --> 02:03:53.960 Reds in Seattle. Get you ready for Club World Cup, 2229 02:03:54.039 --> 02:03:55.720 get you ready for Gold Cup, get you ready for 2230 02:03:55.760 --> 02:04:02.560 all the things. Wednesday, once again, traditionally it is Tyler, 2231 02:04:02.720 --> 02:04:06.119 it is Dylan, and we'll get you ready there. Thursday 2232 02:04:06.159 --> 02:04:08.640 it's Nino and Nico. Friday will get you ready for 2233 02:04:08.680 --> 02:04:11.680 the weekend, very very busy weekend across the board. There's 2234 02:04:11.720 --> 02:04:13.640 a lot of ish going on, and I mean that 2235 02:04:14.079 --> 02:04:17.560 in the most official way possible. There's a lot of stuff. 2236 02:04:18.640 --> 02:04:21.680 Gold Cup, Club, World Cup, MLS, it's all happening all 2237 02:04:21.720 --> 02:04:23.439 at once, and we'll talk about it here the whole 2238 02:04:23.479 --> 02:04:25.840 time before we get out of here, David, is the 2239 02:04:25.920 --> 02:04:28.680 spending PSR issue just new or more of an issue now? 2240 02:04:29.960 --> 02:04:31.760 Or is this more like the other things in the 2241 02:04:31.800 --> 02:04:36.279 news coverage? Is that much better than before? Huh h? 2242 02:04:37.039 --> 02:04:39.479 I mean I think that it's probably more vigilant now, 2243 02:04:40.319 --> 02:04:44.279 So it might be the latter where spending in PSR 2244 02:04:44.439 --> 02:04:46.800 you just kind of were like, okay, well and then 2245 02:04:46.840 --> 02:04:49.840 when something happened, you're like, oh, it happened. But now 2246 02:04:49.960 --> 02:04:52.640 with everybody keeping an eye on things, I'd like to 2247 02:04:52.680 --> 02:04:56.119 attribute it to journalism and chasing after things and making 2248 02:04:56.159 --> 02:04:59.720 sure that folks are kept abreast of all the situations. 2249 02:04:59.760 --> 02:05:04.479 But we'll see, so, yeah, we'll see, we'll see what 2250 02:05:04.560 --> 02:05:06.399 it is. But i'd like to attribute it to journalism 2251 02:05:08.119 --> 02:05:10.279 being somewhat self serving in all that where you've got 2252 02:05:10.279 --> 02:05:12.000 a lot of folks who are trying to get stories 2253 02:05:12.840 --> 02:05:15.600 and that's the other thing in this. Make sure that 2254 02:05:15.720 --> 02:05:18.159 the stories and the sourcing that you see in these 2255 02:05:18.239 --> 02:05:20.680 kinds of things are accurate. Check your sources, check your sources, 2256 02:05:20.760 --> 02:05:23.840 check your sources. But I'd like to attribute it to journalism. 2257 02:05:23.920 --> 02:05:24.319 That's just me. 2258 02:05:25.319 --> 02:05:29.000 Uh yeah, and yeah, David, all these well poor rich 2259 02:05:29.039 --> 02:05:30.880 people seem to want a salary cap. Yeah, because it 2260 02:05:30.880 --> 02:05:34.359 controls their bottom line and it's not spending out of 2261 02:05:34.399 --> 02:05:37.279 control that you find in the championship in the second 2262 02:05:37.319 --> 02:05:40.439 division in England. That's another story for another day for 2263 02:05:40.520 --> 02:05:42.920 everybody here at SDH. I'm just John.

So they're installing grass. 2273 02:06:07.359 --> 02:06:10.119 Keep an eye out on SDH socials. Jason will probably 2274 02:06:10.159 --> 02:06:11.920 have all the pictures of them rolling out the grass 2275 02:06:12.000 --> 02:06:14.560 for you and what the conversations are like as they're 2276 02:06:14.600 --> 02:06:16.479 rolling out the grass getting ready for the Club World Cup, 2277 02:06:16.520 --> 02:06:19.920 which we will be covering for you across the board. 2278 02:06:20.159 --> 02:06:22.520 So for everybody here at SDH, I'm just John seeing 2279 02:06:22.520 --> 02:06:24.239 a little less than twenty two much of plots.
