1
00:00:04.360 --> 00:00:12.640
<v Speaker 1>The welcome in for another edition of the Morning Espresso

2
00:00:12.720 --> 00:00:15.160
<v Speaker 1>here on the SDAH Network, brought to you by our

3
00:00:15.160 --> 00:00:20.399
<v Speaker 1>friends at Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's premier undergraduate learning experience and

4
00:00:21.199 --> 00:00:25.199
<v Speaker 1>soccer powerhouse. Atlanta United could use a few soccer powerhouses

5
00:00:25.280 --> 00:00:28.199
<v Speaker 1>right now. First time in club history that the team

6
00:00:28.280 --> 00:00:31.920
<v Speaker 1>has lost back to back games by three goals or more.

7
00:00:32.039 --> 00:00:35.240
<v Speaker 1>Another three nil loss on the road at Orlando City

8
00:00:35.320 --> 00:00:40.320
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend was not a pleasant match in any way.

9
00:00:40.600 --> 00:00:44.079
<v Speaker 1>A decent start, gave up a goal. Do you do

10
00:00:44.159 --> 00:00:47.840
<v Speaker 1>a var intervention on a penalty which I didn't love

11
00:00:47.880 --> 00:00:52.679
<v Speaker 1>the intervention and it took forever it's given and things

12
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:56.000
<v Speaker 1>didn't really come back from there. Two bad goals in

13
00:00:56.000 --> 00:00:59.079
<v Speaker 1>the second half and Atlanta United ends up losing three nil.

14
00:00:59.159 --> 00:01:01.240
<v Speaker 1>And look, there's a lot of pressure on the team

15
00:01:01.320 --> 00:01:04.480
<v Speaker 1>coming back home for a match on Saturday afternoon against

16
00:01:04.519 --> 00:01:08.439
<v Speaker 1>Nashville SC. A Nashville team that won seven to two

17
00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:12.959
<v Speaker 1>over the weekend against Chicago and an Atlanta team that

18
00:01:13.319 --> 00:01:17.200
<v Speaker 1>needs to find some life in it somehow, some way.

19
00:01:17.840 --> 00:01:19.719
<v Speaker 1>We'll talk a lot about this this week. There'll be

20
00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:22.640
<v Speaker 1>a lot about it this morning on SDHAM, starting at

21
00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:26.640
<v Speaker 1>nine oh five. On the YouTube page, also on Twitch,

22
00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.280
<v Speaker 1>and also on x I'll be talking about it on

23
00:01:30.400 --> 00:01:34.159
<v Speaker 1>Atlanta Soccer tonight on Tuesday as well, and we'll be

24
00:01:34.200 --> 00:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>out at training Tuesday and Thursday this week with training

25
00:01:37.159 --> 00:01:41.000
<v Speaker 1>ground dispatches on both days. Going to be a big

26
00:01:41.040 --> 00:01:45.319
<v Speaker 1>week in a very big game on Saturday against Nashville.

27
00:01:45.400 --> 00:01:47.400
<v Speaker 1>We'll be talking about it as we go. But it's

28
00:01:47.439 --> 00:01:49.200
<v Speaker 1>got to be better than it has been these last

29
00:01:49.200 --> 00:01:51.200
<v Speaker 1>two games on the road, and you've got to find

30
00:01:51.200 --> 00:01:53.319
<v Speaker 1>some goals, which you haven't done in quite a while.

31
00:01:53.760 --> 00:01:56.680
<v Speaker 2>Haven't scored a goal from the run of play.

32
00:01:56.560 --> 00:01:59.680
<v Speaker 1>Because the last goal was a penalty scored by Miguel Almeron.

33
00:02:00.719 --> 00:02:02.359
<v Speaker 1>Haven't scored a goal in the run of play in

34
00:02:02.400 --> 00:02:05.760
<v Speaker 1>a long time. That has to change. It has to change.

35
00:02:05.799 --> 00:02:08.479
<v Speaker 1>I wish there was an easy answer to it. I

36
00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.560
<v Speaker 1>think people are in times trying to oversimplify it. It's

37
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:16.039
<v Speaker 1>a it's not a good situation, and we will see

38
00:02:16.039 --> 00:02:18.120
<v Speaker 1>what happens this week. It's a very big week for

39
00:02:18.280 --> 00:02:20.800
<v Speaker 1>the club and we'll see what happens. Let's talk around

40
00:02:20.879 --> 00:02:23.759
<v Speaker 1>MLS right now. Enter Miami. They lost their first game

41
00:02:24.000 --> 00:02:27.280
<v Speaker 1>of the season in terms of MLS play, lost to

42
00:02:27.319 --> 00:02:29.759
<v Speaker 1>Dallas for to three. They had to lead three one

43
00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:34.000
<v Speaker 1>after the hour mark, rested Messi, rested Busquetz, wrested Alba,

44
00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:37.520
<v Speaker 1>rested Suarez. Ahead of the CONCA CAF Champions Cup second

45
00:02:37.599 --> 00:02:41.520
<v Speaker 1>leg against Vancouver in the semi final, Jave Masherno put

46
00:02:41.520 --> 00:02:44.919
<v Speaker 1>his hand up afterwards took blame for the loss, said

47
00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:46.919
<v Speaker 1>we played a very good game for sixty five minutes,

48
00:02:47.000 --> 00:02:49.479
<v Speaker 1>managed to come back from being one nailed down early,

49
00:02:50.400 --> 00:02:52.599
<v Speaker 1>he said, But unfortunately I made a mistake in reading

50
00:02:52.639 --> 00:02:54.479
<v Speaker 1>the match in In the end, I couldn't help the players.

51
00:02:54.520 --> 00:02:57.039
<v Speaker 1>They kind of got too defensive there with the lead

52
00:02:57.080 --> 00:03:00.879
<v Speaker 1>and ended ended up costing them. On the other side

53
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.400
<v Speaker 1>of that semi final, they won three to one at

54
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:07.319
<v Speaker 1>Minnesota United. Sebastian Burhalter scored from outside the eighteen, his

55
00:03:07.400 --> 00:03:10.280
<v Speaker 1>third goal in the month of April. He'd only scored

56
00:03:10.360 --> 00:03:13.919
<v Speaker 1>five goals across all competitions in his first five pro seasons.

57
00:03:13.919 --> 00:03:17.680
<v Speaker 1>He's got three goals in April. Also in this match,

58
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:20.520
<v Speaker 1>MLS announced that it is aware of a reported violation

59
00:03:20.680 --> 00:03:25.199
<v Speaker 1>of the league's non discrimination policy. Happened late in the game,

60
00:03:25.319 --> 00:03:29.319
<v Speaker 1>apparently ninety fifth minute. The broadcast feed showed a verbal

61
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:35.039
<v Speaker 1>altercation between Minnesota's Joseph Rosalis and Vancouver's Emmanuel Sabi, with

62
00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:39.360
<v Speaker 1>Sabi's teammate Berhalter joining in and gesturing at Rosalis. There

63
00:03:39.360 --> 00:03:44.840
<v Speaker 1>were continued arguments after the final whistle. MLS is investigating,

64
00:03:45.000 --> 00:03:48.960
<v Speaker 1>as are both clubs. Mentioned Chicago's seven to two loss

65
00:03:49.000 --> 00:03:52.520
<v Speaker 1>to Nashville, Greg Berhalter apologized. He said, we deserve to

66
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.680
<v Speaker 1>lose the way we did. Blame the defeat not just

67
00:03:55.719 --> 00:03:59.280
<v Speaker 1>on the defense, but a collective failure is the quote

68
00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:04.680
<v Speaker 1>across all lines quote. Today was an absolute disaster, unquote. Cincinnati.

69
00:04:04.719 --> 00:04:06.879
<v Speaker 1>They stay on top in the East, a two to

70
00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:09.680
<v Speaker 1>one win over Kansas City Kevin Dankey with a goal

71
00:04:09.719 --> 00:04:12.000
<v Speaker 1>of the Year contender a bicycle kick in the seventy

72
00:04:12.000 --> 00:04:16.120
<v Speaker 1>eighth minute. Portland, they remain unbeaten in seven straight after

73
00:04:16.160 --> 00:04:18.600
<v Speaker 1>a four to two win in Los Angeles over the

74
00:04:18.600 --> 00:04:22.720
<v Speaker 1>Galaxy and Denny Bwanga last night scored an amazing goal

75
00:04:22.800 --> 00:04:24.879
<v Speaker 1>deep in stoppage time to level the match with Saint

76
00:04:24.879 --> 00:04:27.920
<v Speaker 1>Louis two too. It was a chaotic go ahead goal

77
00:04:28.000 --> 00:04:31.120
<v Speaker 1>for the visitors, where the ball's deflecting around, it deflects

78
00:04:31.480 --> 00:04:33.839
<v Speaker 1>a clearance, deflects off the back of a player into

79
00:04:33.879 --> 00:04:36.920
<v Speaker 1>the back of the net. They checked var for about

80
00:04:36.959 --> 00:04:40.800
<v Speaker 1>five different things in the situation, nothing given, so it's

81
00:04:40.839 --> 00:04:42.959
<v Speaker 1>a goal. But then Bwanga goes down and puts the

82
00:04:42.959 --> 00:04:45.360
<v Speaker 1>team on his back and finds the equalizer. To two

83
00:04:46.000 --> 00:04:49.920
<v Speaker 1>top five teams in MLS after this weekend, Vancouver number

84
00:04:50.000 --> 00:04:53.279
<v Speaker 1>one on twenty three points, Cincinnati on twenty two, Columbus

85
00:04:53.319 --> 00:04:56.639
<v Speaker 1>on twenty one, Philadelphia on nineteen, Charlotte on nineteen.

86
00:04:56.720 --> 00:04:58.920
<v Speaker 2>They lost to New England at home over the weekend.

87
00:04:59.399 --> 00:05:03.279
<v Speaker 1>Bottom Fire DC on nine, Kansas City on seven, Toronto

88
00:05:03.279 --> 00:05:07.040
<v Speaker 1>on seven, Montreal on three, and La Galaxy on three.

89
00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:12.040
<v Speaker 1>Y're defending champions Copa del Ray in Spain. What a match,

90
00:05:12.199 --> 00:05:16.600
<v Speaker 1>Jules Conde. He scored an extra time winner to beat

91
00:05:16.680 --> 00:05:19.600
<v Speaker 1>Real Madrid. It was two to two through ninety minutes.

92
00:05:19.639 --> 00:05:22.759
<v Speaker 1>It looked like penalties were coming. Counde scored from about

93
00:05:22.759 --> 00:05:25.639
<v Speaker 1>twenty two yards out, a great goal to win it.

94
00:05:26.160 --> 00:05:28.040
<v Speaker 1>Barca had been the better team in the first half,

95
00:05:28.160 --> 00:05:32.079
<v Speaker 1>Pedri with an outstanding goal from outside the eighteen to

96
00:05:32.160 --> 00:05:33.079
<v Speaker 1>open the scoring.

97
00:05:33.560 --> 00:05:34.399
<v Speaker 2>Real Madrid.

98
00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.000
<v Speaker 1>They improved dramatically when killing and Pope came on as

99
00:05:38.000 --> 00:05:41.360
<v Speaker 1>a substitute, curled a free kick into the bottom corner

100
00:05:41.680 --> 00:05:45.160
<v Speaker 1>that tied it to a many headed Real Madrid into

101
00:05:45.199 --> 00:05:49.600
<v Speaker 1>the lead from an Artagouler corner. Barcelona leveled it before

102
00:05:49.639 --> 00:05:53.040
<v Speaker 1>the end of regulation. Federal Dorees ran onto La Migna.

103
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:57.519
<v Speaker 1>Mal's long ball dribbled, the goalkeeper slotted it in. Looked

104
00:05:57.600 --> 00:05:59.959
<v Speaker 1>like Barcelona was going to get a penalty and injury

105
00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:04.000
<v Speaker 1>time or Athena drew it. Decision was overturned after a

106
00:06:04.079 --> 00:06:08.240
<v Speaker 1>long var check goes to extra time. Counde's goal makes

107
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:11.600
<v Speaker 1>the difference. The whole build up to this was dominated

108
00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:16.800
<v Speaker 1>by scrutiny of the referees. It was in large part

109
00:06:16.879 --> 00:06:21.199
<v Speaker 1>due to a video that Real Madrid TV posted complaining

110
00:06:21.319 --> 00:06:24.000
<v Speaker 1>about the referee and pointing out mistakes that he had

111
00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:26.959
<v Speaker 1>made in previous games. The referee had a press conference

112
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:31.519
<v Speaker 1>on Friday, tearfully talking about how it was and I

113
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.800
<v Speaker 1>can't really repeat it. Not FCC violations here, but we're

114
00:06:34.800 --> 00:06:37.160
<v Speaker 1>not gonna run a foul of that and have to

115
00:06:37.160 --> 00:06:41.040
<v Speaker 1>put the adult language thing on here. But the referee

116
00:06:41.079 --> 00:06:43.959
<v Speaker 1>was very upset about the video. This is not the

117
00:06:43.959 --> 00:06:46.040
<v Speaker 1>first time that Real Madrid has done this. I think

118
00:06:46.079 --> 00:06:48.240
<v Speaker 1>it's a horrible look and it's something that the club

119
00:06:48.319 --> 00:06:49.600
<v Speaker 1>really has to stop doing.

120
00:06:49.920 --> 00:06:55.079
<v Speaker 2>It's for a club that I think has tried to.

121
00:06:55.160 --> 00:07:01.040
<v Speaker 1>Always bring an air of honor outside of their time

122
00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:05.000
<v Speaker 1>with Jose Mourinho. This is a horrible look and they've

123
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:08.000
<v Speaker 1>done it all season and it's created issues going into

124
00:07:08.000 --> 00:07:10.439
<v Speaker 1>pretty much every big game that they've done this with

125
00:07:10.800 --> 00:07:14.319
<v Speaker 1>In this one you get more issues. Antonio Rudeger throws

126
00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:18.399
<v Speaker 1>something on the field after a decision very late. He's

127
00:07:18.399 --> 00:07:21.040
<v Speaker 1>sent off. Lucas Vasquez is sent off from the bench,

128
00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:23.560
<v Speaker 1>Jude Bellingham is sent off after the final whistle for

129
00:07:23.600 --> 00:07:28.120
<v Speaker 1>angrily confronting officials. It's just an extremely bad look. There

130
00:07:28.199 --> 00:07:30.879
<v Speaker 1>was talk that after the referees press conference that Real

131
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:32.920
<v Speaker 1>Madrid wasn't going to go forward with any of the

132
00:07:32.920 --> 00:07:35.680
<v Speaker 1>pomp and circumstance around the Copa del Rey final.

133
00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:36.720
<v Speaker 2>They eventually did.

134
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:41.600
<v Speaker 1>Spain's got to get control of the situation in general

135
00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:44.759
<v Speaker 1>the Spanish Federation a La Liga. But Real Madrid has

136
00:07:44.800 --> 00:07:49.399
<v Speaker 1>to stop with this, they really do. It's gotten really bad.

137
00:07:50.519 --> 00:07:52.360
<v Speaker 1>Also with Real Madrid, they got to figure out what

138
00:07:52.360 --> 00:07:54.839
<v Speaker 1>they're going to do with the coaching situation. Carlo Ancelotti

139
00:07:54.920 --> 00:07:57.720
<v Speaker 1>set for more talks about taking over as the Brazilian

140
00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:03.199
<v Speaker 1>national team manager that continue. A Brazilian businessman, Diego Fernanje

141
00:08:03.680 --> 00:08:06.600
<v Speaker 1>has been acting on behalf of the Brazilian federation. He

142
00:08:06.720 --> 00:08:08.639
<v Speaker 1>was at the game. He's going to sit down with

143
00:08:08.680 --> 00:08:13.480
<v Speaker 1>Carlo Ancelotti, reportedly sometime this week, trying to get Ancelotti

144
00:08:13.519 --> 00:08:15.560
<v Speaker 1>to take the Brazil job as soon as the La

145
00:08:15.600 --> 00:08:19.240
<v Speaker 1>Liga season is over. That would mean Ancelotti would leave

146
00:08:19.279 --> 00:08:21.120
<v Speaker 1>before the Club World Cup and he would be in

147
00:08:21.160 --> 00:08:24.920
<v Speaker 1>place for the June World Cup qualifiers for Brazil. Shabi

148
00:08:24.959 --> 00:08:28.120
<v Speaker 1>Alonso byer Levercusen they're waiting for a call from Real

149
00:08:28.199 --> 00:08:30.920
<v Speaker 1>Madrid to figure out what's going to happen with them.

150
00:08:31.519 --> 00:08:34.320
<v Speaker 1>Marca has reported this in Spain, but they've also reported

151
00:08:34.360 --> 00:08:38.879
<v Speaker 1>that conversations are still at least being had internally at

152
00:08:38.919 --> 00:08:42.879
<v Speaker 1>Real Madrid about talking to Jurgen Klop. Now, Klop's agent

153
00:08:43.200 --> 00:08:45.679
<v Speaker 1>shut down rumors that he was unhappy in his role

154
00:08:45.720 --> 00:08:49.559
<v Speaker 1>with Red Bull. That kind of said, I'm not interested

155
00:08:49.600 --> 00:08:52.679
<v Speaker 1>in going back to management. He has a contract. There's

156
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:55.200
<v Speaker 1>nothing more to say. But as we know, contracts can

157
00:08:55.240 --> 00:08:58.039
<v Speaker 1>be broken and they can be bought out. Same thing

158
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:00.440
<v Speaker 1>with Shabi Alonzo. By the way, there is a track

159
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:02.799
<v Speaker 1>leverkeus And has said they won't stand in the way,

160
00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:04.559
<v Speaker 1>but they're going to have to get some money out

161
00:09:04.600 --> 00:09:06.919
<v Speaker 1>of this, as would Red Bull. If Real Madrid is

162
00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:10.159
<v Speaker 1>going to go for either Klop or Shabi Alonso, stay tuned.

163
00:09:10.639 --> 00:09:14.600
<v Speaker 1>Speaking of Jurgen Klop his previous team Liverpool, they won

164
00:09:14.679 --> 00:09:18.480
<v Speaker 1>their second Premier League title, their twentieth English top flight championship.

165
00:09:18.759 --> 00:09:22.039
<v Speaker 1>They're now level with Manchester United as the most successful

166
00:09:22.080 --> 00:09:25.200
<v Speaker 1>side in English top flight history with twenty championships.

167
00:09:25.720 --> 00:09:26.360
<v Speaker 2>Arnest Slott.

168
00:09:26.399 --> 00:09:28.960
<v Speaker 1>He becomes the third manager in Liverpool's history to win

169
00:09:29.000 --> 00:09:31.799
<v Speaker 1>the title in his first season in charge. Joe Fagan

170
00:09:31.799 --> 00:09:34.120
<v Speaker 1>did it in nineteen eighty four, Kenny dald Gleish did

171
00:09:34.120 --> 00:09:36.799
<v Speaker 1>it in nineteen eighty six. He also joins an elite

172
00:09:36.840 --> 00:09:40.720
<v Speaker 1>group of managers Jose Mourinho, Carlo Ancelotti, Manuel Pellegrini and

173
00:09:40.799 --> 00:09:44.240
<v Speaker 1>Antonio Conte who won the Premier League in their first season.

174
00:09:44.799 --> 00:09:49.480
<v Speaker 1>Mosala twenty eight goals, eighteen assists, crazy numbers. Four games

175
00:09:49.559 --> 00:09:53.799
<v Speaker 1>left Sala's one goal contribution away from tying the forty

176
00:09:53.960 --> 00:09:57.279
<v Speaker 1>seven that's the record that's set by Alan Shear and

177
00:09:57.279 --> 00:10:00.159
<v Speaker 1>Andy Cole. Those were during forty two games. He seas

178
00:10:00.399 --> 00:10:05.320
<v Speaker 1>not thirty eight incredible for Mosala. Incredible for Liverpool, Incredible

179
00:10:05.360 --> 00:10:08.639
<v Speaker 1>for Arne Slot. Nobody gave them a chance to win

180
00:10:08.679 --> 00:10:12.960
<v Speaker 1>the league this season. Everybody was talking about he's gonna fail,

181
00:10:13.080 --> 00:10:15.919
<v Speaker 1>he might be the first manager fired, and he wins

182
00:10:16.159 --> 00:10:19.159
<v Speaker 1>the title. Incredible work from Arne Slott and great work

183
00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:21.200
<v Speaker 1>but from Jurgen Klopp as well on the way out

184
00:10:21.240 --> 00:10:25.279
<v Speaker 1>in helping Arne Slot be set up for success. It's

185
00:10:25.600 --> 00:10:29.240
<v Speaker 1>hard to follow a legend. It's very hard to follow

186
00:10:29.279 --> 00:10:32.759
<v Speaker 1>a legend. After they did not win, Arnes Slot went

187
00:10:33.000 --> 00:10:36.919
<v Speaker 1>better than the legend with this title. After last season

188
00:10:36.919 --> 00:10:39.000
<v Speaker 1>that was a little bit of a disappointment for Liverpool.

189
00:10:39.720 --> 00:10:43.679
<v Speaker 1>UEFA Women's Champions League Arsenal with an incredible comeback. They

190
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:47.440
<v Speaker 1>whooped up on Leone in France for one win for

191
00:10:47.600 --> 00:10:50.679
<v Speaker 1>Arsenal in front of twenty thousand people. They were down

192
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.279
<v Speaker 1>to one after a late winner for Leon in London.

193
00:10:54.559 --> 00:10:57.600
<v Speaker 1>So Arsenal gets to the UEFA Women's Champions League final.

194
00:10:57.639 --> 00:11:01.399
<v Speaker 1>They will face Barcelona. Speaking of whooping up Barcelona, where

195
00:11:01.399 --> 00:11:03.360
<v Speaker 1>they won the second leg against Chelsea four to one.

196
00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:05.279
<v Speaker 1>They won the first leg against Chelsea four to one.

197
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:08.240
<v Speaker 1>They win the series eight to two on aggregate. Barsa

198
00:11:08.279 --> 00:11:13.320
<v Speaker 1>and Arsenal in the UEFA Women's Champions League Final INWSL

199
00:11:14.000 --> 00:11:17.360
<v Speaker 1>Kansas City, Current first place coming into the weekend, they

200
00:11:17.440 --> 00:11:20.159
<v Speaker 1>lose three to two, first loss of the season to

201
00:11:20.200 --> 00:11:24.279
<v Speaker 1>the North Carolina Courage. Courage hadn't won in five Current

202
00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:28.240
<v Speaker 1>was perfect with five wins in five games. Kaylee Kurtz

203
00:11:28.360 --> 00:11:31.600
<v Speaker 1>equalized in the ninetieth minute. Ashley Sanchez won the game

204
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.039
<v Speaker 1>for the Courage three minutes later. There's also news on

205
00:11:35.080 --> 00:11:37.399
<v Speaker 1>the NWSL front that they're going to start a second

206
00:11:37.480 --> 00:11:41.159
<v Speaker 1>division very similar to MLS Next Pro as a reserve league.

207
00:11:41.200 --> 00:11:45.679
<v Speaker 1>Eight teams are committed in starting second teams in NWSL's

208
00:11:45.759 --> 00:11:46.840
<v Speaker 1>new second division.

209
00:11:47.759 --> 00:11:49.159
<v Speaker 2>FA Cup semi Finals.

210
00:11:49.240 --> 00:11:52.519
<v Speaker 1>Manchester City they've qualified for the FA Cup Final for

211
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:55.080
<v Speaker 1>the fourteenth time in their history. Two nil winners over

212
00:11:55.159 --> 00:11:59.759
<v Speaker 1>Nottingham Forest Crystal Palace, three nail winners over Aston Villa.

213
00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.080
<v Speaker 1>They'll meet in the final on May seventeen at Wembley.

214
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:08.080
<v Speaker 1>Wrexham they have advanced to the championship. Now they have

215
00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:11.639
<v Speaker 1>earned promotion, first time in forty three years that they

216
00:12:11.679 --> 00:12:14.960
<v Speaker 1>will be in the second division, first time any club

217
00:12:14.960 --> 00:12:20.679
<v Speaker 1>has achieved three straight promotions across England's top tiers. Club

218
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:23.559
<v Speaker 1>was bought by Ryan Reynolds Rob Mcalenny two point five

219
00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:27.639
<v Speaker 1>million dollars. In twenty twenty one, they were promoted back

220
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:31.440
<v Speaker 1>to the EFL after fifteen years. In twenty twenty three,

221
00:12:31.919 --> 00:12:34.440
<v Speaker 1>they were promoted after a second place finish in League

222
00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:37.320
<v Speaker 1>two last year. Looks like they're going to finish second

223
00:12:37.440 --> 00:12:42.000
<v Speaker 1>in this League one to go to the championship this year.

224
00:12:42.440 --> 00:12:45.639
<v Speaker 1>Birmingham City, Who's going to win the league one hundred

225
00:12:45.639 --> 00:12:48.759
<v Speaker 1>and five points. That is a new League one points record,

226
00:12:48.799 --> 00:12:52.120
<v Speaker 1>breaking Wolves's one hundred and three points in twenty fourteen.

227
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:55.799
<v Speaker 1>So two interesting teams. Wrexham's going to get a lot

228
00:12:55.840 --> 00:12:58.679
<v Speaker 1>of the headlines. Birmingham City another one that are going

229
00:12:58.759 --> 00:13:01.480
<v Speaker 1>up into the championship. Very very curious to watch the

230
00:13:01.559 --> 00:13:06.600
<v Speaker 1>championship next season. SARAA Napoli. They now have the lead

231
00:13:06.679 --> 00:13:09.480
<v Speaker 1>by three points over Inter ter lost at home to

232
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:14.840
<v Speaker 1>Roma Napoli one two nil over Torino. Scott mctominy scored

233
00:13:14.919 --> 00:13:18.120
<v Speaker 1>both goals for Napoli. He's got eleven on the season,

234
00:13:18.200 --> 00:13:21.159
<v Speaker 1>now the most by a Scottish player in sari AI history,

235
00:13:21.519 --> 00:13:25.679
<v Speaker 1>passing Dennis Law's nineteen sixty two season at Toreno Enter.

236
00:13:25.720 --> 00:13:29.159
<v Speaker 1>On the other side, They look exhausted. They were going

237
00:13:29.200 --> 00:13:33.000
<v Speaker 1>for a quadruple. They didn't score against Bologna a few

238
00:13:33.000 --> 00:13:35.519
<v Speaker 1>games ago, they didn't score against Milan, and the Copa

239
00:13:35.559 --> 00:13:40.039
<v Speaker 1>Italia semi final second leg they didn't score against Roma.

240
00:13:40.240 --> 00:13:43.279
<v Speaker 1>They might not have any trophies after not too long

241
00:13:43.320 --> 00:13:45.480
<v Speaker 1>ago looking for a quadruple.

242
00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.440
<v Speaker 2>They do have Champions League. They do get Barcelona this week.

243
00:13:49.519 --> 00:13:50.440
<v Speaker 2>We'll be talking about it.

244
00:13:50.480 --> 00:13:52.960
<v Speaker 1>But can they find something because right now it's not

245
00:13:53.000 --> 00:13:56.159
<v Speaker 1>good for Inter and they're in second place in Sarria,

246
00:13:56.320 --> 00:14:00.159
<v Speaker 1>River and Boca. The Argentine Superclassico River with the two

247
00:14:00.200 --> 00:14:05.240
<v Speaker 1>one win Franco Mastantuono and Sebastian Drewsy Your goal scorers.

248
00:14:05.759 --> 00:14:09.840
<v Speaker 1>The free kick from Maustantuono seventeen years old. He's one

249
00:14:09.879 --> 00:14:12.360
<v Speaker 1>of the next jewels of Argentine football. All the big

250
00:14:12.399 --> 00:14:14.799
<v Speaker 1>clubs around the world want to sign him. What a

251
00:14:14.879 --> 00:14:18.039
<v Speaker 1>free kick from him? Go seek that one out. River

252
00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:21.919
<v Speaker 1>is trying to get to level the all time series

253
00:14:21.960 --> 00:14:25.759
<v Speaker 1>with Boca. They're four wins away from doing that. Let's

254
00:14:25.759 --> 00:14:31.000
<v Speaker 1>go to Africa. The African Champions League surprises in the

255
00:14:31.000 --> 00:14:33.240
<v Speaker 1>semi finals. We've talked about it a little bit here

<v Speaker 1>time late in the second leg in Cairo, the Sundowns

263
00:14:59.559 --> 00:15:02.639
