Last 21 00:01:28.040 --> 00:01:30.920 night in Conker caf hemisphic Extravaganza where there weren't a 22 00:01:30.920 --> 00:01:34.000 whole lot of goals scored, and that was the first 23 00:01:34.079 --> 00:01:36.680 legs of the quarterfinals. More of those tonight. We'll get 24 00:01:36.680 --> 00:01:38.879 into the juice boxes there as well. That include Messi 25 00:01:38.920 --> 00:01:41.359 and Friends traveling to Los Angeles to take on LAFC. 26 00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:46.319 So that's on the table. Ten thirty, we bring in 27 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:48.680 Ryan Figured, one of the play by play voices for 28 00:01:48.760 --> 00:01:54.040 FC Dallas. He's going to discuss FC Dallas, maybe the sidekicks, 29 00:01:54.400 --> 00:01:58.280 you know, maybe it may be the Tornado.

So Tyler, Dylan Ryan, that's the show 39 00:02:23.680 --> 00:02:25.520 this morning. Whatever else is on your mind when it 40 00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:29.280 comes to wall Pass Wednesday, and you can throw that 41 00:02:29.360 --> 00:02:33.520 in as you always do, morning, Alex, And so we 42 00:02:33.599 --> 00:02:36.560 will hang on to that. And just a reminder from 43 00:02:36.560 --> 00:02:40.840 what happened yesterday in our deep dive about USL, probably 44 00:02:40.879 --> 00:02:43.000 need to catch up with some folks behind the scenes 45 00:02:43.039 --> 00:02:45.280 and find out what the proral deal is and if 46 00:02:45.319 --> 00:02:48.599 they can get a waiver, because not every stadium was 47 00:02:48.680 --> 00:02:53.520 gonna match fifteen thousand, you know, So we'll see what 48 00:02:53.520 --> 00:02:57.199 the waivers and the possibilities are. Except unless it's only 49 00:02:57.400 --> 00:02:59.360 large market teams are the only ones allowed to be 50 00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:02.479 relegated from the first division USL League One set uptown 51 00:03:02.520 --> 00:03:05.439 the USL Championship, So we'll keep an eye on that 52 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.639 going forward, all right.

I know that 70 00:04:07.360 --> 00:04:11.759 shocks you all. So last night in the Open Cup, 71 00:04:11.800 --> 00:04:13.680 we did have the Magic of the Open Cup, by 72 00:04:13.680 --> 00:04:15.759 the way, and it came out in a couple of 73 00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:21.600 different forms. And we'll get into the the activity today 74 00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:25.480 six point thirty. It is a pea hoot Portland Hearts 75 00:04:25.480 --> 00:04:30.360 of Pine and Hartford Athletic Louden is taking on Who 76 00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:36.160 is that? Louden's got a home? Who is this? This 77 00:04:36.199 --> 00:04:37.959 is what happens when you don't have when you don't 78 00:04:38.000 --> 00:04:41.519 have the actual layout. It's Segrifield and Leesburg Louden United. 79 00:04:41.560 --> 00:04:44.560 It's playing tonight and they've got oh, Virginia Dream that's who. 80 00:04:44.560 --> 00:04:48.000 They've got.

I mean 85 00:05:08.160 --> 00:05:13.600 you've seen the that you have seen the layout and 86 00:05:13.759 --> 00:05:18.879 the desires of everyone ons. I mean on one side 87 00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:20.759 of the equation. One side of the equation has just 88 00:05:20.800 --> 00:05:26.040 been completely and totally just been talking, talking, talking. The 89 00:05:26.079 --> 00:05:27.879 other side hasn't so. 90 00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:28.879 Uh. 91 00:05:30.040 --> 00:05:33.759 Ten matches today in a US Open Cup Round two. 92 00:05:34.439 --> 00:05:39.519 But last night crazy crazy, crazy, So Crew two, by 93 00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:43.120 the way, started off the evening at six o'clock at 94 00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:46.240 the death Star Lower dot Comfield. They shut out Lexington 95 00:05:46.319 --> 00:05:49.319 Sporting Club by the final of three nil. Did not 96 00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:53.360 necessarily have that cup set on the board. But Crew 97 00:05:53.399 --> 00:05:57.759 two knocks off lexs C three and il then probably 98 00:05:57.800 --> 00:06:01.399 one of the wackier matches of the night. Uh, you know, 99 00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:05.040 not necessarily even for the first eighty minutes. It was 100 00:06:05.120 --> 00:06:10.000 South Georgia Tormenta knocking off four to OSC and four 101 00:06:10.000 --> 00:06:11.879 to OH. Had control of it pretty much in the 102 00:06:11.879 --> 00:06:15.600 first ten minutes, but then you end up with the 103 00:06:15.800 --> 00:06:20.560 chaos that would ensue. Tormento gets a two nil lead, 104 00:06:21.360 --> 00:06:26.120 you have a penalty call, and honestly, you know, if 105 00:06:26.160 --> 00:06:29.199 there had been any kind of review the penalty cake, 106 00:06:29.480 --> 00:06:31.680 the actual penalty kick probably would have been asked to 107 00:06:31.680 --> 00:06:34.920 have been taken again. But anyway, you go from two 108 00:06:35.000 --> 00:06:38.959 nil for Tormenta to two to two and then you 109 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:44.199 end up with Tormento scoring at ninety plus four I think, 110 00:06:45.040 --> 00:06:47.439 and there was ten added minutes of this one once 111 00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:50.680 again hashtag magic of the Open Cup. Tormenta ends up 112 00:06:50.720 --> 00:06:53.839 getting the duke three to two. It's like tat ato 113 00:06:53.959 --> 00:06:55.639 nail lead lost the two nail lead. It was two 114 00:06:55.680 --> 00:06:57.120 to two, and then it's three to two finals, so 115 00:06:57.160 --> 00:07:01.480 Tormenta advances to the next round. The MIAMIFC knocked off 116 00:07:01.480 --> 00:07:04.639 Messi and Friends too, so it will be an interesting 117 00:07:04.639 --> 00:07:08.079 week for them because meeting Messi and Friends too, well 118 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.639 and technically for the MIAMIFC because of USL Championship activity 119 00:07:12.959 --> 00:07:16.040 USL Championship activity. For the MIAMIFC. They beat Messi and 120 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:18.120 Friends one Neil Messi and friends too come up to 121 00:07:18.199 --> 00:07:21.879 Atlanta to take on Atlanta United two on Sunday. What 122 00:07:21.920 --> 00:07:25.040 will they look like, especially after having to play on Tuesday, 123 00:07:25.240 --> 00:07:29.279 so they go weekend Tuesday weekend with travel, what will 124 00:07:29.319 --> 00:07:31.439 they look like? That would be an interesting question there. 125 00:07:32.199 --> 00:07:35.519 Also on the board, Charlotte Independence knocked off Carolina Corps. 126 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:39.439 Took a long time, AET took the extra thirty before 127 00:07:39.439 --> 00:07:41.759 the two to one win there with Charlotte and cor 128 00:07:42.519 --> 00:07:46.079 Then El fad Alito.

This is from 134 00:08:04.319 --> 00:08:09.079 Tim Thomas over at the Cup dot US. Second half, 135 00:08:09.120 --> 00:08:12.160 you get a Zuluwaga goal and then you're tied at one, 136 00:08:12.199 --> 00:08:16.120 and then Edgard Cray gets the game winner two to one. 137 00:08:16.160 --> 00:08:20.399 El Fa Delito advances past Monterey Bay. Then Avy Alta 138 00:08:20.480 --> 00:08:24.160 advanced out of USL League one, beating LAFC two two 139 00:08:24.199 --> 00:08:27.920 to one, and that one went ae T as well. 140 00:08:28.079 --> 00:08:32.519 So late night in the Inland Empire.

They have continued to refer to 194 00:11:58.080 --> 00:12:01.600 Red Wolves as the team from East Ridge. Yep, and 195 00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:06.159 so depending on your perspective, uh, this is this has 196 00:12:06.360 --> 00:12:10.440 so many different drops of context and blood feud and 197 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:16.039 geography and road construction and blue versus red.

Oh but you know, I think 264 00:15:42.759 --> 00:15:46.720 like it'll be one of those where a couple of 265 00:15:46.720 --> 00:15:50.159 weeks ago, like we had MICHAELA Ganona Ellen and I 266 00:15:50.240 --> 00:15:52.000 had the game pulled up because that was when De 267 00:15:52.120 --> 00:15:56.120 Moines was playing, and we were trying to give like 268 00:15:56.200 --> 00:15:58.440 slight updates about what was going on in the game 269 00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:02.879 because he's like, oh, right, okay, yeah you can. 270 00:16:03.279 --> 00:16:06.360 You can't give I don't think, you know, I don't 271 00:16:06.360 --> 00:16:08.799 think if you're like part of the uh you know, 272 00:16:08.879 --> 00:16:11.679 part of part of the outside world, that you can 273 00:16:11.759 --> 00:16:14.720 do play by play. Yeah. 274 00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:16.600 US Soccer might not be happy about that. 275 00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:20.480 So but if you did, hey, look at this, yeah, 276 00:16:20.559 --> 00:16:25.919 look at this kind of analysis. So I just saw this. Yeah, 277 00:16:25.960 --> 00:16:28.159 So what was it like with mckaleay. 278 00:16:29.159 --> 00:16:31.120 He was like, as I mentioned, I was like, yeah, 279 00:16:31.159 --> 00:16:33.120 you know, the game start now. He's like, yeah, as 280 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:34.799 soon as I get done here, I'm gonna go turn 281 00:16:34.840 --> 00:16:37.080 it on. He was like, so, who's starting, what's going 282 00:16:37.120 --> 00:16:38.799 on in it? How's it going. I'm like, well, at 283 00:16:38.799 --> 00:16:41.200 this point, because it was like thirty minutes in, I 284 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.240 was like, your boys haven't really progressed the ball to 285 00:16:45.279 --> 00:16:48.799 the other side of the pitch at this point. So no, 286 00:16:48.960 --> 00:16:52.519 but I think I think this Chattanooga Darby will be 287 00:16:52.600 --> 00:16:54.080 much much more entertaining. 288 00:16:54.159 --> 00:16:57.519 For sure, tremendous I'm so looking forward to it. Uh, 289 00:16:58.639 --> 00:17:00.879 Like I said, don't sleep on it, becaus you know, 290 00:17:01.000 --> 00:17:05.400 Tormenta had a close one last night. Yeah, and literally 291 00:17:05.480 --> 00:17:07.599 it was like, okay, two nil, ten minutes to go, 292 00:17:07.680 --> 00:17:10.000 and then all of a sudden, all of a sudden, 293 00:17:10.359 --> 00:17:15.119 the hood comes up, the oil drops, and the engine died, 294 00:17:15.880 --> 00:17:18.039 and it was like, all right, let's try and just 295 00:17:18.160 --> 00:17:20.680 get this thing over the Let's get this thing over 296 00:17:20.759 --> 00:17:23.119 the over the finish line, and they did with a 297 00:17:23.160 --> 00:17:25.440 goal later than later north of ninety. 298 00:17:26.400 --> 00:17:30.720 Jackson and are you know, like yeah, Jack Hopkins, yeah, Jpop, Yeah, yeah. 299 00:17:30.880 --> 00:17:34.799 He he was in our discord last night. And the 300 00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.960 range of emotions that this man went through in a 301 00:17:38.000 --> 00:17:42.240 few minutes because he is obviously a massive Tormenta fan. 302 00:17:42.880 --> 00:17:44.799 He's covered some of the games for the for the 303 00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:48.759 site and everything, like the dude, besides Atlanta lives and 304 00:17:48.799 --> 00:17:53.079 breathes South Georgia, Tormento, and he was like, forget about 305 00:17:53.079 --> 00:17:56.839 what just happened down in Statesboro, and then like a 306 00:17:56.839 --> 00:17:59.920 couple of minutes later, twelve minutes later, he's like, never 307 00:18:00.000 --> 00:18:00.559 her mind. 308 00:18:00.599 --> 00:18:02.960 Bazini my heart. 309 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:05.920 I was like, dude, you're going through it, man, Elizabeth. 310 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:11.079 It's a big one. I'm coming and Jackson would have 311 00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:15.319 to look that reference up on the wood. Uh. Now 312 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.240 that you've had, you and the audience over at SNS 313 00:18:18.240 --> 00:18:19.880 and everybody over there have had a couple of days 314 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:21.680 to kind of process what has gone on with it? 315 00:18:21.799 --> 00:18:23.640 Landy United, have you? First off, I guess, have you 316 00:18:23.680 --> 00:18:27.519 recovered from what happened with it? Landy, Knighted and NYC. 317 00:18:28.000 --> 00:18:29.000 That's the first question. 318 00:18:29.759 --> 00:18:33.880 So first of all, neither one of us were there, 319 00:18:35.279 --> 00:18:39.039 which means one of us is not allowed back in 320 00:18:39.079 --> 00:18:39.920 the bins apparently. 321 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:40.680 Huh. 322 00:18:40.920 --> 00:18:46.640 Yeah, the answer is no, I have not because so 323 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:48.640 obviously I wasn't there at the stadium this time. This 324 00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:53.000 was like my one obligatory absence of the year. You 325 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:54.200 had a lot of stuff going on this We have 326 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:56.680 friends of family in town. But I was watching it 327 00:18:57.480 --> 00:19:01.759 sitting next to a fire pit and a lake, and 328 00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:06.359 I went, I really, I you know, I'm sitting here 329 00:19:06.400 --> 00:19:10.839 talking about Jackson. I probably was the same exact way 330 00:19:11.000 --> 00:19:13.799 on Saturday. I almost threw my phone in the lake. 331 00:19:13.880 --> 00:19:15.799 I almost threw it in the fire, I almost jumped 332 00:19:15.799 --> 00:19:18.839 in the lake, almost jumped in the fire. I went 333 00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:21.119 through all of it. Oh man, I was like I'm 334 00:19:21.119 --> 00:19:23.039 going to turn this stupid game off. I should be 335 00:19:23.119 --> 00:19:26.079 enjoying myself right now. I'm not enjoying myself to oh 336 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:27.799 this is getting a little bit better. Oh my god. 337 00:19:28.960 --> 00:19:34.079 It was all over the place. Oh man, full range 338 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:36.960 of emotions. It goes up there with with you know, 339 00:19:37.000 --> 00:19:41.440 that famous twenty eighteen San Jose game is one of 340 00:19:41.480 --> 00:19:45.400 the wildest, for sure. But I think it, you know, 341 00:19:45.519 --> 00:19:47.319 it kind of reinforced a lot of the stuff that 342 00:19:47.319 --> 00:19:51.240 we talked about. I mean, man, I don't even know 343 00:19:51.240 --> 00:19:52.359 where to start, because. 344 00:19:52.119 --> 00:19:55.720 Like the beginning is usually a good the beginning. 345 00:19:55.400 --> 00:19:57.799 Is usually a good chronological place to start. I mean, 346 00:19:59.000 --> 00:20:04.279 it wasn't great, right, Like the team this season so far, 347 00:20:05.279 --> 00:20:07.160 it's not always been a tale of two halves. It's 348 00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:09.960 just been a tale of one. The switch is flipped, 349 00:20:10.440 --> 00:20:15.599 it seems like. And it was just back and forth 350 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:20.559 in the beginning, and then obviously New York gets their goal, 351 00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:24.440 you know, fairly early on. I loved the first goal 352 00:20:24.599 --> 00:20:27.240 with Moran Chuck. I love the you know, the kind 353 00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:29.200 of build up. I love the fact that you got 354 00:20:29.240 --> 00:20:32.119 all four of your your you know, primetime attackers involved 355 00:20:32.119 --> 00:20:35.759 in it. Latte Lithe will tell you that was a pass, 356 00:20:36.039 --> 00:20:39.960 It was not who cares, It still counts as an assist. 357 00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:45.079 But then, like you know, the the beginning of the 358 00:20:45.119 --> 00:20:46.839 second half, the way things kind of fell apart, it 359 00:20:46.880 --> 00:20:48.400 was it was a little concerning. It still is a 360 00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:51.799 little concerning because you shouldn't have that happen, you know. 361 00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.680 Still now people have asked me multiple times, like what 362 00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:58.319 about Dom shon Qui. I'm not worried about Dom schon 363 00:20:58.440 --> 00:21:02.039 Qui in the slightest it He is seventeen years old. 364 00:21:03.039 --> 00:21:05.319 He got told moments before opening whistle that he was 365 00:21:05.359 --> 00:21:08.200 going to get the start in front of forty five. 366 00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:11.160 You're tacked on the shoulder, sir. 367 00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:16.480 Guess what you're doing now? That is a That is 368 00:21:16.519 --> 00:21:19.279 a weird, weird place to be for a seventeen year 369 00:21:19.279 --> 00:21:22.240 old kid. Now, we've watched him all the way through 370 00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:29.119 preseason and beyond, but I mean, he made a mistake 371 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:32.400 that any professional soccer player could make on any given day. 372 00:21:32.720 --> 00:21:34.759 The one thing that I take out of this match 373 00:21:34.799 --> 00:21:38.240 that I really want to see Dom improve on, and 374 00:21:38.279 --> 00:21:40.680 it kind of goes back to some stuff that Dyla 375 00:21:40.759 --> 00:21:43.240 talked about in the near the end of the preseason 376 00:21:43.319 --> 00:21:46.359 was his positioning. I think if there's something like specific 377 00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:49.319 that he needs to maybe just fine tune. It's just 378 00:21:49.759 --> 00:21:51.799 where to be at any given time. On a team 379 00:21:51.839 --> 00:21:57.000 that uses their wingbacks as both attack and defense heavily, 380 00:21:57.799 --> 00:21:58.960 you have to know where you've got to be at 381 00:21:58.960 --> 00:22:00.440 any given time. And I think that's that's one of 382 00:22:00.480 --> 00:22:02.440 those things that comes with experience, it comes with coaching. 383 00:22:02.839 --> 00:22:05.160 He's on the right track. He made a mistake. New 384 00:22:05.240 --> 00:22:07.759 York City made mistakes. Everybody made mistakes. It is what 385 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:10.119 it is. You take away all the mistakes, and Atlanta 386 00:22:10.200 --> 00:22:14.759 still I think wins this game to one. So as 387 00:22:14.759 --> 00:22:17.359 far as he is concerned, man, I'm not worried about 388 00:22:17.440 --> 00:22:23.799 Dom at all. He's fine. He's good to go. Besides that, 389 00:22:24.000 --> 00:22:27.759 I mean, you know, there's been this back and forth 390 00:22:27.799 --> 00:22:30.200 about maryon Chuck and where he belongs, and I think 391 00:22:30.519 --> 00:22:32.960 there are a lot of factors that take into consideration here. 392 00:22:32.960 --> 00:22:35.920 But I think when you have a team that wants 393 00:22:35.920 --> 00:22:38.119 to attack, that you're playing against that wants to attack 394 00:22:38.160 --> 00:22:43.480 a lot, you have to study the midfield somehow, and 395 00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:47.039 you saw that in the second half. But you also 396 00:22:47.079 --> 00:22:48.559 saw New York take their foot off the gas a 397 00:22:48.599 --> 00:22:51.799 little bit, so I think, you know, it's not that 398 00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:54.480 you have to move a Lexi to be a permanent 399 00:22:54.559 --> 00:22:57.039 number eight or a connector all the time. I think 400 00:22:58.119 --> 00:23:01.759 Miggy is a right winger or left winger wherever he 401 00:23:01.759 --> 00:23:03.480 wants to play. Is smart enough to know, like if 402 00:23:03.519 --> 00:23:06.200 you tell him, hey, while Alexi's playing as a ten, 403 00:23:06.279 --> 00:23:09.400 I need you to be more of a whatever. Give 404 00:23:09.480 --> 00:23:13.519 him space. That'll give you space, It'll give everybody space. 405 00:23:13.880 --> 00:23:15.400 But then the moment that you might have to do 406 00:23:15.480 --> 00:23:17.680 that kind of experiment where you're moving Alexi back as 407 00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:19.720 more of a connector and a build up player from 408 00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.599 the back, then you move Mickey to that central location, 409 00:23:23.759 --> 00:23:27.400 let him do whatever he wants to do. So it's 410 00:23:27.440 --> 00:23:29.920 just it's interesting. It's kind of an interesting conundrum that 411 00:23:30.000 --> 00:23:32.400 Daila has right now with you know, where am I 412 00:23:32.400 --> 00:23:33.759 going to get the most out of my players? Like 413 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.359 Saba has looked infinitely better on the right, I don't 414 00:23:37.400 --> 00:23:41.039 think there's any like question about how much better he 415 00:23:41.200 --> 00:23:44.720 is over there. But to do all that, you do 416 00:23:44.799 --> 00:23:48.039 have to tweak some things. So this is a this 417 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:50.279 is a I think a period of maybe learning for 418 00:23:50.359 --> 00:23:52.240 the coaching staff, trying to figure out where they can 419 00:23:52.640 --> 00:23:54.880 get the absolute most out of out of the players 420 00:23:54.920 --> 00:23:57.599 at any given time, because it's not just where they 421 00:23:57.640 --> 00:24:01.319 start at the opening whistle games chain during the game. 422 00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:05.559 What I know, right, it's just weird, especially when it's 423 00:24:05.599 --> 00:24:08.279 three to one. Yeah, but yeah, I mean, I think 424 00:24:08.319 --> 00:24:10.079 I think there's there's just as part of the learning 425 00:24:10.119 --> 00:24:12.200 process of figuring out like who's who's going to fit 426 00:24:12.319 --> 00:24:15.039 the way that you want to play the best in 427 00:24:15.079 --> 00:24:18.400 what positions, that they could still be really good at. 428 00:24:19.319 --> 00:24:24.960 To your point about Mirnchuk, here's it. Here are his numbers, 429 00:24:25.039 --> 00:24:28.799 courtesy of our friends at SOFA score Play. The full 430 00:24:28.880 --> 00:24:34.319 ninety got the goal, fifty eight touches, two incomplete passes 431 00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.759 or two inaccurate passes on forty five attempts, forty three 432 00:24:37.839 --> 00:24:41.759 of forty five passing on fifty eight touches ninety six percent. 433 00:24:42.640 --> 00:24:46.640 Three key passes, two crosses, three long balls, one big 434 00:24:46.759 --> 00:24:50.039 chance created, two shots on target, three of five on 435 00:24:50.160 --> 00:24:55.720 ground duels, three tackles. That's hitting a boatload of different 436 00:24:55.759 --> 00:25:00.640 categories for somebody who I have always in vision as 437 00:25:00.799 --> 00:25:05.799 almost as the conductor of this orchestra because of the 438 00:25:06.160 --> 00:25:08.480 imagination that he has in the touch that he has. 439 00:25:08.559 --> 00:25:11.839 But knocking off all of those different categories in this 440 00:25:11.960 --> 00:25:15.680 match of chaos and going ninety six percent passing. And 441 00:25:15.720 --> 00:25:19.039 it wasn't just you know fourteen or fifteen or you 442 00:25:19.119 --> 00:25:21.920 know nineteen and twenty, this forty three or forty five. 443 00:25:22.480 --> 00:25:24.920 I mean, that's not messing around. He had a day 444 00:25:24.920 --> 00:25:27.119 where he hit a bunch of different categories, did a 445 00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:29.759 bunch of different things for you as the as the 446 00:25:29.799 --> 00:25:32.640 maestro there with the baton, you know, making things happen. 447 00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:35.480 Yeah, And it wasn't that it was like you know, 448 00:25:35.519 --> 00:25:38.119 backwards passes or lateral passes. I mean he was he 449 00:25:38.160 --> 00:25:40.480 was hitting some progressive passes, which is what you want 450 00:25:40.480 --> 00:25:42.480 to see out of your eight or ten. It doesn't 451 00:25:42.480 --> 00:25:44.400 matter what number you want to give him at the time. 452 00:25:44.440 --> 00:25:47.480 But I mean, I don't know. I guess he saw 453 00:25:47.519 --> 00:25:50.440 the rooted in the stripes videos like man excrety people. 454 00:25:54.359 --> 00:25:56.079 I thought. 455 00:25:56.960 --> 00:26:01.319 I think the way that he plays, everybody's been really 456 00:26:01.400 --> 00:26:02.680 hunging up on like is he a ten? 457 00:26:02.880 --> 00:26:03.200 Is he not? 458 00:26:04.119 --> 00:26:06.599 I think it's more about where can you give him 459 00:26:06.640 --> 00:26:10.759 a little bit more space to take that extra split 460 00:26:10.799 --> 00:26:13.240 second to make the proper pass that's going to benefit 461 00:26:13.279 --> 00:26:14.839 the team the most, and play and doing that as 462 00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:18.359 a quote unquote number ten, you're often more in very 463 00:26:18.400 --> 00:26:22.440 tight spaces where you have to maybe take on guys 464 00:26:22.519 --> 00:26:25.640 one v one, it's a little bit harder to play 465 00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:28.640 that through ball or that you know, very very precise 466 00:26:28.759 --> 00:26:33.319 pass that you want. But if you if you drop 467 00:26:33.359 --> 00:26:37.440 back a little bit and you you kind of allow 468 00:26:37.559 --> 00:26:40.359 him to be that conductor or that connector that's kind 469 00:26:40.400 --> 00:26:44.359 of what I keep calling him. You look at when 470 00:26:44.359 --> 00:26:46.400 he has just a moment of space and he can 471 00:26:46.440 --> 00:26:48.799 pick out just about anybody on the field. And I 472 00:26:48.839 --> 00:26:51.960 think I could be completely wrong with this, but I 473 00:26:52.000 --> 00:26:54.480 just think it's that maybe that little bit of pressure 474 00:26:54.559 --> 00:26:56.400 being taken off of his back to say, like, man, 475 00:26:56.440 --> 00:27:00.279 I've got space and time. He can control the ball 476 00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:03.400 pretty well, you know, as as like a as like 477 00:27:03.440 --> 00:27:07.720 a box to box guy. He is not the Almada 478 00:27:07.960 --> 00:27:10.079 or Moreno, who's gonna go and take on guys one 479 00:27:10.160 --> 00:27:12.240 v one and like you know, dribbling boy around them 480 00:27:12.279 --> 00:27:15.079 and all that kind of stuff. That's just not his game. Yeah, 481 00:27:15.200 --> 00:27:20.039 tribly boy, But he he does have that wherewithal I 482 00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:23.200 mean to almost see somebody behind him on the other 483 00:27:23.279 --> 00:27:25.359 side of the pitch and then make a pass with 484 00:27:25.440 --> 00:27:31.200 his non dominant foot right to them. That's that's the 485 00:27:31.240 --> 00:27:33.559 strength of Alexi Mirn Chuck, and if you can unlock 486 00:27:33.640 --> 00:27:36.200 that and use it more often, then you, I think 487 00:27:36.200 --> 00:27:37.759 you're gonna get a lot more out of him. It's 488 00:27:37.759 --> 00:27:41.000 it's what we've been talking about. I guess kind of 489 00:27:41.000 --> 00:27:43.920 what Henry wrote about last week and then and then 490 00:27:44.039 --> 00:27:46.680 now now he's been insufferable since he wrote that article. 491 00:27:48.039 --> 00:27:51.759 Not really, but it's you know, it's I think it's 492 00:27:51.759 --> 00:27:57.559 just it does kind of lend itself maybe to taking 493 00:27:57.559 --> 00:27:59.759 a little bit of the pressure off of him so 494 00:27:59.839 --> 00:28:03.039 that he can have just a tiny bit more space 495 00:28:03.119 --> 00:28:06.160 to operate and to think about what he wants everybody 496 00:28:06.160 --> 00:28:07.519 in front of him to do, and then what he 497 00:28:07.559 --> 00:28:09.039 can do to feed them. 498 00:28:09.319 --> 00:28:11.480 So then are we going to be starting starting to 499 00:28:11.519 --> 00:28:14.799 call Aleximi don't chook the Downtown Connector? Is that? Uh? 500 00:28:14.880 --> 00:28:16.599 Hey man, I like it. 501 00:28:17.559 --> 00:28:18.119 I like it. 502 00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:20.599 This fits. 503 00:28:20.839 --> 00:28:23.519 I mean with the with the kit everything. 504 00:28:24.000 --> 00:28:24.799 Yeah, this fit. 505 00:28:25.200 --> 00:28:27.480 Just just call a M five nine to Downtown Connector 506 00:28:27.480 --> 00:28:29.039 and you got it all locked and loaded. 507 00:28:29.079 --> 00:28:30.440 You know, we come up with a lot of things 508 00:28:30.519 --> 00:28:33.880 in this one once weekly segment that really need a 509 00:28:33.920 --> 00:28:34.559 lot more credit. 510 00:28:34.599 --> 00:28:38.039 I'm just saying, well, I mean, hey, look, it's you 511 00:28:38.079 --> 00:28:41.039 know what is it that our boy arn't Anderson used 512 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:43.039 to say, or still says, I'm not want toot my 513 00:28:43.079 --> 00:28:47.880 own hornbit to toot. Yeah, oh yeah. So look, anytime, 514 00:28:47.960 --> 00:28:50.079 anytime you get the chance to quote the four Horsemen, 515 00:28:50.119 --> 00:28:50.759 you know you're going to do it. 516 00:28:50.839 --> 00:28:51.000 Right. 517 00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:55.920 So you're about you're you're in the process of throwing 518 00:28:55.960 --> 00:28:58.640 your phone in the water, in the process of drying 519 00:28:58.720 --> 00:29:00.920 it out in the fire. Once you what you have 520 00:29:01.559 --> 00:29:04.480 dived into whatever body of water you were next to. Yep, 521 00:29:05.240 --> 00:29:10.160 and you're down three to one. Chaos continues to ensue. 522 00:29:10.400 --> 00:29:13.839 Midanchuk is there with you, and then you mentioned not 523 00:29:14.200 --> 00:29:17.599 you get the own goal from Keaton Parks and you're 524 00:29:17.880 --> 00:29:20.759 getting all of this momentum and all this stuff from 525 00:29:20.839 --> 00:29:24.119 the casual perspective from which you were watching. Were folks 526 00:29:24.160 --> 00:29:26.920 starting to gravitate towards your mobile device as you were 527 00:29:26.960 --> 00:29:30.200 sitting there and trying to keep your wits about you? 528 00:29:30.240 --> 00:29:32.880 What was what was on from three two to three three, three, 529 00:29:32.960 --> 00:29:33.720 three to four three? 530 00:29:34.200 --> 00:29:36.640 It was because I'm sitting there and I'm watching the game, 531 00:29:36.720 --> 00:29:41.440 and like everybody's asking me, like, because most of these 532 00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:44.599 folks are like casual, they landing on the fans like 533 00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:47.640 you know, they'll they'll watch the show, they'll watch the 534 00:29:47.680 --> 00:29:52.279 games occasionally, but they're not like hardcore, you know. So 535 00:29:53.559 --> 00:29:55.079 at the half, I'm like, all right, well, this is 536 00:29:55.079 --> 00:29:57.920 all right, it's okay, Like you got an equalizer back. 537 00:29:58.400 --> 00:30:00.400 Now you just got forty five to take the lead, 538 00:30:00.759 --> 00:30:04.799 get out with three points. And then that second half 539 00:30:04.799 --> 00:30:11.000 started and I was well saying things that I can't 540 00:30:11.039 --> 00:30:11.920 say normally. 541 00:30:12.079 --> 00:30:14.359 Well, you know, you just warn us and you sit 542 00:30:14.480 --> 00:30:16.799 there and we put the E rating up when we 543 00:30:16.880 --> 00:30:18.200 posted yeah, oh that's all we do. 544 00:30:18.799 --> 00:30:21.279 I was so frustrated. I was like, man, it is 545 00:30:21.400 --> 00:30:25.640 this mentality thing, and like, so then we're all having 546 00:30:25.640 --> 00:30:28.799 these conversations and I'm like, dude, I am so close 547 00:30:28.839 --> 00:30:30.440 to just like turning this game off and I'm gonna 548 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:32.440 watch it again later when I can i can focus 549 00:30:32.519 --> 00:30:35.400 on it more, and which I did also, but I 550 00:30:35.480 --> 00:30:40.400 kept watching and and then you know, you get the 551 00:30:40.680 --> 00:30:42.640 one back and it's like, all right, well that's cool. 552 00:30:42.680 --> 00:30:46.640 But in the history of Atlanta United and a lot 553 00:30:46.680 --> 00:30:48.799 of soccer teams like this doesn't have you don't come 554 00:30:48.839 --> 00:30:52.599 back from this often. If you do, it is drunk. 555 00:30:52.920 --> 00:30:56.160 It is absolutely drunk. So when it was three to two, 556 00:30:56.240 --> 00:30:57.799 it was like, all right, well, I mean it was cool. Hey, 557 00:30:57.799 --> 00:31:01.720 you got it. You got one. Back has channeled the 558 00:31:01.759 --> 00:31:06.359 on goal gods again, he's done it. But I'm sitting 559 00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:08.440 there watching and then when it hits three three, I'm like, okay, 560 00:31:08.440 --> 00:31:10.480 hang on a minute now. And then that was when 561 00:31:10.480 --> 00:31:12.079 I kind of jumped up and I was like, let's go, 562 00:31:12.440 --> 00:31:14.880 and everybody started coming over. And then from that point 563 00:31:14.920 --> 00:31:17.000 on all the way until the end of the match, 564 00:31:17.559 --> 00:31:22.319 everybody was glued around. And then the final fifteenth well 565 00:31:22.359 --> 00:31:26.319 ten minutes or whatever it was, everybody's watching the screen 566 00:31:26.640 --> 00:31:29.440 and the moment that the Latte Loth goal went in, 567 00:31:30.240 --> 00:31:33.920 people jumping around, people are screaming. The neighbors probably thought, 568 00:31:34.200 --> 00:31:35.839 I don't know what they thought. They were like these 569 00:31:35.880 --> 00:31:36.960 freaking insane. 570 00:31:36.720 --> 00:31:38.160 You don't care what the neighbors thought. 571 00:31:38.160 --> 00:31:41.240 I didn't know, like y'all, y'all saw the Atlanta United shirt. 572 00:31:41.240 --> 00:31:45.519 All right, something good just happened. So we did our 573 00:31:45.519 --> 00:31:49.519 celebrations and then set back down and then waited with 574 00:31:49.640 --> 00:31:55.599 baited breath for the last few minutes. And there was 575 00:31:55.640 --> 00:31:58.240 the goal that was it was clearly offside, but there 576 00:31:58.359 --> 00:32:02.880 was the goal. And before I had a moment to 577 00:32:02.920 --> 00:32:04.680 be like, oh, that, well, that was offside, Like that's 578 00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:08.160 got to be called back. Somebody that was watching was like, 579 00:32:08.519 --> 00:32:13.240 this is some bulley. I'm like, you have no idea 580 00:32:13.519 --> 00:32:17.559 because normally that's how this goes down. Thankfully it was 581 00:32:17.559 --> 00:32:19.519 offside and we were all good to go. So we 582 00:32:19.559 --> 00:32:22.240 went through the full gamut of emotions. Man, it was insane. 583 00:32:22.359 --> 00:32:24.720 So the and the four to three go, well, I 584 00:32:24.759 --> 00:32:28.359 guess first off, let's still you know, discuss the the 585 00:32:28.440 --> 00:32:31.240 set piece where you see both Latte Lot and Miggy 586 00:32:31.359 --> 00:32:34.960 jump out of the gym and Miggy and MIGGI gets 587 00:32:35.039 --> 00:32:39.160 there first. I'm like, okay, uh good, good to see 588 00:32:39.160 --> 00:32:42.480 that Miggy's got hops when requested. It's like, uh, like 589 00:32:42.480 --> 00:32:46.799 you're saying, I like an order of hops from mister elmern. Yeah, 590 00:32:46.880 --> 00:32:48.680 so I mean Migi got hops man. 591 00:32:48.960 --> 00:32:53.720 Yeah, I'm almost a little disappointed. And that goal be 592 00:32:53.880 --> 00:32:57.799 only because I'm saying this for a reason. I don't 593 00:32:57.799 --> 00:33:01.960 think it did MIGGI justice. Now I wasn't there, so like, 594 00:33:02.039 --> 00:33:05.759 I do regret a little bit the fact that I 595 00:33:05.759 --> 00:33:09.079 didn't get to see his first goal back. However, however, however, 596 00:33:10.079 --> 00:33:15.640 perfect ref for that. By the way, however, I think 597 00:33:15.680 --> 00:33:18.000 there was so much confusion around who got to it 598 00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:20.920 initially that I think it maybe pulled a little bit 599 00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:24.920 of the that extra oomph. And it's not taking anything 600 00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:28.000 away from Latte laugh, but everybody's been waiting on that 601 00:33:28.039 --> 00:33:30.519 one because he almost had that one shot that was 602 00:33:30.599 --> 00:33:33.000 kind of a weak shot, like a little bit earlier. Yeah, 603 00:33:34.240 --> 00:33:36.440 that would have been that the place would have blown up, 604 00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:38.880 because that's one of those where it's like, hey, all Miggie, 605 00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:41.440 he did his thing, he got on the ball, took 606 00:33:41.480 --> 00:33:43.400 the shot. But because this header was just kind of 607 00:33:43.440 --> 00:33:46.440 like who got that, I think maybe it took a 608 00:33:46.440 --> 00:33:47.759 little bit of the air out of like what could 609 00:33:47.759 --> 00:33:52.039 have been that Meggie explosion. So in my head, I'm 610 00:33:52.359 --> 00:33:54.720 pretending that like this weekend, he'll get one that's like 611 00:33:54.759 --> 00:33:57.720 a full on open play, like he just ate somebody's 612 00:33:57.720 --> 00:33:59.559 soul and then scored and then the place is gonna 613 00:33:59.559 --> 00:34:03.039 blow up to make myself feel better about missing the 614 00:34:03.039 --> 00:34:08.199 first one. But it was either way, Matt Edwards unsung 615 00:34:08.239 --> 00:34:11.920 hero of that sequence. For sure, I thought he he 616 00:34:12.000 --> 00:34:14.920 did really well and then playing it over to shanday, 617 00:34:14.960 --> 00:34:18.280 who you know, you might try that same little chip 618 00:34:19.199 --> 00:34:21.760 a million times and not get it right, but he 619 00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:23.719 did it, and thankfully he had two guys waiting there 620 00:34:23.760 --> 00:34:24.840 and one of them was able to get on the 621 00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:25.280 end of it. 622 00:34:26.000 --> 00:34:28.760 I'll put a bookmark in Matt Edwards and we'll talk 623 00:34:28.760 --> 00:34:32.760 about Matt in a bit. But then, you know, to 624 00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:35.480 just have a night of chaos like we had with 625 00:34:35.519 --> 00:34:39.880 it Landy United, and to have it end on one 626 00:34:39.880 --> 00:34:45.400 of those moments where Matt Freeze is being summoned apparently, 627 00:34:45.559 --> 00:34:47.639 it's like, you know, bro, come on out. I'm shepherd, 628 00:34:47.679 --> 00:34:52.480 I'm shielding and shepherding for a reason. So I'm requesting 629 00:34:52.480 --> 00:34:56.840 your assistance sir, and grabbing and grabbing this, grabbing this 630 00:34:56.960 --> 00:35:00.519 bouncing soccer ball away from the player. And I don't 631 00:35:00.519 --> 00:35:03.119 know what it is about strikers being inside the eighteen 632 00:35:03.199 --> 00:35:08.320 and moments are weird. But we've had We've had Grand theft, Jamal, 633 00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:15.280 We've had We've had Papa shot from Latte Lot and 634 00:35:15.360 --> 00:35:17.599 it's just sure, you just kind of throw up your 635 00:35:17.599 --> 00:35:19.960 hands after after all these years you said to go yes, sure, 636 00:35:20.000 --> 00:35:20.320 why not? 637 00:35:20.960 --> 00:35:21.239 Yeah? 638 00:35:21.320 --> 00:35:22.360 Why not go ahead? 639 00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:22.920 Whatever? 640 00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:24.400 You know. 641 00:35:25.320 --> 00:35:27.159 We we kind of got into like a little bit 642 00:35:27.159 --> 00:35:30.480 of a debate on on him as Monday about this, 643 00:35:32.599 --> 00:35:35.559 like was it was it Matt Freeze, was it Martin's Who? 644 00:35:35.639 --> 00:35:38.920 Like what? Who was it? And I don't think you 645 00:35:38.920 --> 00:35:41.679 can put the blame on either one of them solely. 646 00:35:42.000 --> 00:35:44.159 I think like it's both, like they they've got to 647 00:35:44.199 --> 00:35:46.320 figure it out. Man, you can't make that mistake. And 648 00:35:46.480 --> 00:35:51.119 I saw, you know, the the Twitter thread Bill Hamid 649 00:35:51.239 --> 00:35:54.079 got involved. Bill's giving his opinions. 650 00:35:54.280 --> 00:35:56.880 Oh boy, there's the comments. There are plenty of comments 651 00:35:56.880 --> 00:35:58.000 that I'm just gonna not come. 652 00:35:58.199 --> 00:36:02.119 Yeah, but I'm like, you know, the easy thing to 653 00:36:02.159 --> 00:36:03.719 do there is just send send the ball out for 654 00:36:03.719 --> 00:36:06.199 a freaking corner or throw in. So I totally agree 655 00:36:06.239 --> 00:36:10.679 with that. You gotta do something. Yeah, also go keep However, 656 00:36:11.000 --> 00:36:12.920 it's your box, man, like you got to you gotta 657 00:36:12.920 --> 00:36:15.039 make a decision. So whatever, it's both of them. But 658 00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:17.920 then on top of that, because that's been the argument, 659 00:36:18.760 --> 00:36:20.559 I feel like Latze a Loth has not gotten enough 660 00:36:20.559 --> 00:36:24.719 credit for this goal, like not not only did he 661 00:36:24.800 --> 00:36:28.920 run down this ball like a freaking gazelle, and which 662 00:36:28.960 --> 00:36:31.360 I think was maybe part of the confusion. Honestly, I 663 00:36:31.360 --> 00:36:33.760 think Martin's thought he had maybe a little bit more time, 664 00:36:33.880 --> 00:36:37.079 Freeze thought maybe had a little bit more time, But 665 00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:41.079 Latte lath is sneaky fast, Like you don't realize until 666 00:36:41.079 --> 00:36:43.639 he turns on the eighteenth gear or whatever that he 667 00:36:43.679 --> 00:36:47.199 has that he's coming like he's coming in hot, and 668 00:36:47.400 --> 00:36:49.519 I think he was there before they realized it. And 669 00:36:49.719 --> 00:36:53.320 for him to get in between them kind of win 670 00:36:53.400 --> 00:36:56.840 the ball and then chip the ball at that angle 671 00:36:56.920 --> 00:37:01.079 over the top of the goalkeeper with enough Ford momentum 672 00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:03.239 to not allow another defender to run in and kick 673 00:37:03.280 --> 00:37:07.639 it out. That is like Chef's kiss level striking. That 674 00:37:07.760 --> 00:37:09.920 was beautiful, So like he needs a lot of credit 675 00:37:09.920 --> 00:37:12.079 for that. It wasn't just the fact that the goalkeeper 676 00:37:12.719 --> 00:37:20.119 and the captain completely had a day. M lat deserves 677 00:37:20.159 --> 00:37:23.480 a lot of credit also Martin's as a captain. And 678 00:37:23.519 --> 00:37:25.760 that was some crappy reaction. I don't care whose fault 679 00:37:25.760 --> 00:37:30.400 it was. Don't do that, Yeah you can't. I mean, 680 00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:31.639 I get be a pissed. 681 00:37:31.400 --> 00:37:33.920 The gesticulations of Thiego Martinez. 682 00:37:34.599 --> 00:37:36.400 He was. He was quite upset, Yes, he. 683 00:37:36.360 --> 00:37:38.280 Was quite upset. Well, when you have this happened, I 684 00:37:38.280 --> 00:37:41.679 could understand why. Yeah, for sure, Atlanta was down three 685 00:37:41.880 --> 00:37:45.280 one at the hour mark and I've come back to equalize. 686 00:37:45.480 --> 00:37:48.440 Sand playing over the top for lante Van over his 687 00:37:48.599 --> 00:37:52.880 head for his and what te what steals it chucks 688 00:37:52.920 --> 00:37:53.880 it into the head. 689 00:37:54.440 --> 00:38:02.400 Scores at Lanta United has come back from two balls 690 00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:04.400 down to take the lead. 691 00:38:05.039 --> 00:38:09.519 Incredible layer play New York's not wrong. 692 00:38:10.519 --> 00:38:13.639 No what a ball a boy? 693 00:38:13.719 --> 00:38:16.159 Brad by the way, oh see, and this is this 694 00:38:16.199 --> 00:38:19.920 is a thing that I have and I'm not the 695 00:38:19.920 --> 00:38:22.880 only one here. Where's the assist I know that's that's 696 00:38:22.880 --> 00:38:26.719 horse crap? Where is the assist for for Brad Gazanne? 697 00:38:26.760 --> 00:38:29.199 Because I needed the points in Fantasy to at least 698 00:38:29.239 --> 00:38:32.199 close my margin a little bit going into Sunday. 699 00:38:31.960 --> 00:38:34.039 I won Fantasy. I didn't change anything. I won by 700 00:38:34.079 --> 00:38:36.320 two points. This weekend. I got so lucky. 701 00:38:37.239 --> 00:38:41.800 Anyway, my my, I went with Red Bulls defense, going 702 00:38:41.880 --> 00:38:44.679 up and thinking that you know, New England wasn't going 703 00:38:44.760 --> 00:38:48.239 to score. And so the two guys I had combined 704 00:38:48.239 --> 00:38:50.800 for a one point total. One of the guys I 705 00:38:50.840 --> 00:38:52.320 had actually punched a negative. 706 00:38:53.400 --> 00:38:55.400 That's happened to me twice this season so far. 707 00:38:55.599 --> 00:38:57.880 Yeah, so I had I had a negative punched in 708 00:38:58.599 --> 00:39:01.800 two and a minus one. I should have stuck with 709 00:39:01.920 --> 00:39:04.440 Vancouver on defense, where I hit oliochmed and he had 710 00:39:05.719 --> 00:39:07.960 a plus nine.

It is that center 720 00:39:29.599 --> 00:39:34.000 back roll partines Tannski Freeze to come get it, confuse you. 721 00:39:53.920 --> 00:39:57.599 It's another costly error for New York City, and the 722 00:39:57.719 --> 00:40:01.400 comeback is Chi just to not complete Friendsland. That's the 723 00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:04.159 short version. But yes, that was That was Tyler's call, 724 00:40:04.679 --> 00:40:09.679 and I texted because I, like you, was not at 725 00:40:09.719 --> 00:40:12.360 the Bends, and so I'm gathering intail as we go. 726 00:40:13.760 --> 00:40:17.760 I was with the Boss on a date night and 727 00:40:17.840 --> 00:40:21.800 because we were close to an anniversary, which was Monday, 728 00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:26.599 by the way, Uh yes, first date anniversary sixteen years ago. 729 00:40:26.880 --> 00:40:27.280 There you go. 730 00:40:27.800 --> 00:40:30.840 And so yeah, we're we're that couple. We celebrate that 731 00:40:30.880 --> 00:40:33.760 in addition to anniversaries, and so do we I. 732 00:40:33.719 --> 00:40:37.199 Mean to a degree, like it always gets recognized every year, but. 733 00:40:37.639 --> 00:40:39.159 We have we have what we referred to as First 734 00:40:39.239 --> 00:40:44.000 Day Aniversary. And so that was Monday, and so Saturday 735 00:40:44.119 --> 00:40:46.639 we went to the Jasonisbel concert at the Fox, and 736 00:40:46.679 --> 00:40:50.199 so I was in a building where I could get 737 00:40:50.280 --> 00:40:53.760 no cell service whatsoever because of the brick and everything 738 00:40:53.800 --> 00:40:56.280 that is encased inside the Fox Theater. I guess that's 739 00:40:56.320 --> 00:40:59.320 their way of saying, focus on what you're watching, don't 740 00:40:59.320 --> 00:41:02.280 focus on your you know. And there were about five 741 00:41:02.360 --> 00:41:04.559 or six people that were trying to record bits and 742 00:41:04.599 --> 00:41:06.679 pieces of the concert, and the folks at the Fox 743 00:41:06.679 --> 00:41:08.400 were none too pleased with that and telling folks to 744 00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:10.679 put their phones away, yep, because you're not supposed to 745 00:41:10.760 --> 00:41:13.840 do that, yep. But yeah, I was. I was going 746 00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:16.719 full disclosure. I was texting back and forth with Tyler 747 00:41:16.800 --> 00:41:19.280 and not you, the other Tyler, Tyler Tarrems. I was 748 00:41:19.320 --> 00:41:21.000 texting back and forth with him and I'm like, Tyler, 749 00:41:21.039 --> 00:41:22.519 what happened? And so he broke it all down for 750 00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:25.239 me with four to three. But so, yeah, you had 751 00:41:25.239 --> 00:41:28.000 that kind of chaos. I wanted to put a bookmark 752 00:41:28.039 --> 00:41:29.639 in Matt Edwards so I could bring up the topic 753 00:41:29.679 --> 00:41:33.320 of Matt Edwards. Now third position he's played on the 754 00:41:33.360 --> 00:41:37.800 back line this year. Yeah, and it's just like, you know, okay, fine, 755 00:41:37.920 --> 00:41:39.239 tell me what I got to do, I'll go out 756 00:41:39.239 --> 00:41:41.079 and do it. And you're you're continuing to see that 757 00:41:41.199 --> 00:41:44.280 from Matt Edwards and how he's adjusting to life with that. 758 00:41:44.440 --> 00:41:45.519 Landy knighted in the first. 759 00:41:45.360 --> 00:41:50.159 Team, Yeah, put me in, coach. I mean, I don't know. 760 00:41:50.239 --> 00:41:56.079 I thought he looked confident, like really confident, and I 761 00:41:56.079 --> 00:41:59.760 don't know if maybe it was the moment they kind 762 00:41:59.760 --> 00:42:02.119 of spurred him on a little bit, but I just thought, 763 00:42:02.159 --> 00:42:04.760 like the confidence in which he played, especially, I mean, 764 00:42:04.840 --> 00:42:07.719 it's not just that goal that you know was the 765 00:42:07.760 --> 00:42:10.039 past that Silva Silva did some little things and then 766 00:42:10.559 --> 00:42:13.079 chipped it in, but like, I think it was just 767 00:42:14.199 --> 00:42:17.559 where he was talking about positioning, where he was positioned, 768 00:42:19.159 --> 00:42:22.119 taking guys on one v one, not being afraid to 769 00:42:22.159 --> 00:42:27.159 do it, taking risks. I just thought, like, hey man, 770 00:42:29.119 --> 00:42:32.320 you you had one game in the beginning of the season, 771 00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:35.239 first game where it was it was it was a 772 00:42:35.239 --> 00:42:41.280 little bit of a struggle. Then you absolutely destroyed a 773 00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:49.199 Premier league striker winger for forty five minutes, and then you, 774 00:42:49.440 --> 00:42:52.920 among others, had a mistake right that that led to 775 00:42:53.119 --> 00:42:57.039 a goal. But you've kept at it and you haven't really. 776 00:42:57.079 --> 00:42:59.519 I mean he even told us at the trading ground, like, 777 00:43:00.280 --> 00:43:02.840 you know, I just I put it behind me. My 778 00:43:03.559 --> 00:43:06.199 teammates they helped me through it, you know, as they should, 779 00:43:07.679 --> 00:43:09.840 and so I'm good. And he's just kept chugging along. 780 00:43:09.920 --> 00:43:11.800 And he got thrown in as a center back and 781 00:43:12.519 --> 00:43:16.079 did his thing. And I mean, like, is he playing perfect? No, 782 00:43:16.320 --> 00:43:19.320 But like I think for what he's been through in 783 00:43:19.360 --> 00:43:23.639 such a short time this season, a lot of guys 784 00:43:23.639 --> 00:43:27.159 would have absolutely lost confidence by this point, and he's 785 00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:29.920 just doing his thing and this I think he looked really, 786 00:43:29.960 --> 00:43:32.440 really good in this one, and he helped Spur on 787 00:43:32.480 --> 00:43:33.480 a comeback. 788 00:43:33.760 --> 00:43:36.199 And I think that speaks a lot to at least, 789 00:43:36.239 --> 00:43:38.199 you know, what we're seeing so far in the first 790 00:43:38.760 --> 00:43:42.679 two months of this group being together, where the players 791 00:43:42.679 --> 00:43:45.239 are trying to understand what Ronnie Dila wants and then 792 00:43:45.239 --> 00:43:49.360 you're adjusting to what's going on. And Ronnie has said, Okay, 793 00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:51.119 you know, after a loss, the first thing I got 794 00:43:51.159 --> 00:43:53.079 to do is look at myself. I got to figure out, okay, 795 00:43:53.760 --> 00:43:54.800 you know, was it this was it? 796 00:43:54.880 --> 00:43:55.320 This? Was it? 797 00:43:55.440 --> 00:43:55.519 This? 798 00:43:55.639 --> 00:44:00.440 How do we address these issues and first time that 799 00:44:00.519 --> 00:44:02.880 you've gone you know that you've been down to in 800 00:44:02.920 --> 00:44:05.320 a long time. I think everybody goes back to the 801 00:44:05.400 --> 00:44:10.000 chaos in San Jose in MLS after dark when you 802 00:44:10.039 --> 00:44:13.000 when you have these kinds of matches, and you know, 803 00:44:13.079 --> 00:44:15.400 the these kinds of matches can go one of two 804 00:44:15.400 --> 00:44:18.079 ways for you emotionally. You can sit there and ride 805 00:44:18.079 --> 00:44:20.480 that wave and sit there and go, Okay, we're capable 806 00:44:20.519 --> 00:44:23.880 of doing X, or you know, we escaped. And I 807 00:44:23.880 --> 00:44:27.159 think that it's okay to have both of those in 808 00:44:27.280 --> 00:44:31.880 concert when it comes to your your emotional wherewithal going forward. 809 00:44:32.400 --> 00:44:35.039 Just you know, let one be more positive than the other, 810 00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:37.840 but don't forget the second emotion that's attached to this 811 00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:38.320 whole thing. 812 00:44:38.800 --> 00:44:41.719 Yeah, and I that's kind of been one of the 813 00:44:41.760 --> 00:44:45.000 one of the points that I was hitting on when 814 00:44:45.000 --> 00:44:46.079 we did our reaction show. 815 00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:46.719 I think. 816 00:44:49.360 --> 00:44:53.679 You have to celebrate this game because there's a lot today. 817 00:44:53.719 --> 00:44:55.400 And it's not just the fact that you won. It's 818 00:44:55.440 --> 00:44:57.039 not even just the fact that you came back. It's 819 00:44:57.039 --> 00:45:00.920 the fact that you you got all of your attackers 820 00:45:00.920 --> 00:45:03.480 that you've you know, admittedly paid so much money for 821 00:45:03.840 --> 00:45:09.239 involved in multiple ways, like Alexi getting his goal and 822 00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:11.639 being very involved in the game and affecting the game 823 00:45:11.679 --> 00:45:14.119 the way that he did, especially after you know the 824 00:45:14.119 --> 00:45:19.719 criticism that he's received. You know, Saba, who who should 825 00:45:19.800 --> 00:45:22.639 have two goals at this point or at least to assist. Yeah, 826 00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:26.599 but he's he's making that happen right just and and 827 00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:30.239 don't take away any credit from him with like the 828 00:45:30.239 --> 00:45:32.480 first touch to get around the you know, defender, like 829 00:45:32.559 --> 00:45:34.639 everything that he did to build up that own goal, 830 00:45:35.800 --> 00:45:40.000 that's what you needed there for lat Lath with the assist, 831 00:45:40.079 --> 00:45:42.400 with the goal the game winner, like that's what you 832 00:45:42.480 --> 00:45:45.119 paid paid the money for. And then of course Meigi 833 00:45:45.199 --> 00:45:48.880 doing doing what Niggi does, being involved everywhere Like this 834 00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:50.679 is I think the first game where you've gotten all 835 00:45:50.719 --> 00:45:53.400 of it kind of come together. Now, it would have 836 00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:55.119 been nice if it like came together and you just 837 00:45:55.519 --> 00:45:58.079 spanked New York City out of the bends, but whatever, 838 00:45:58.159 --> 00:46:02.119 it doesn't always go down that way. But you're seeing, 839 00:46:02.599 --> 00:46:06.599 you know, the chemistry that we're always talking about kind 840 00:46:06.599 --> 00:46:08.800 of maybe coming together a little bit at this point. 841 00:46:08.840 --> 00:46:12.360 And you can see that Dayla is tweaking things and 842 00:46:12.400 --> 00:46:15.360 fine tuning things and moving guys around and making the 843 00:46:15.440 --> 00:46:18.599 chess moves and out of your coach. That's what you 844 00:46:18.639 --> 00:46:20.159 want to see as well. So like there's a lot 845 00:46:20.559 --> 00:46:22.840 just kind of behind the scenes that happened in this 846 00:46:22.960 --> 00:46:26.440 match that needs to be celebrated. But of course then 847 00:46:26.440 --> 00:46:27.639 you got to go back and you have to look 848 00:46:27.639 --> 00:46:31.559 at the silly mistakes, like again the dom chon Quei thing. 849 00:46:32.239 --> 00:46:34.840 Give a seventeen year old if you put into the 850 00:46:34.880 --> 00:46:37.239 starting lineup at the last minute in front of forty 851 00:46:37.239 --> 00:46:41.119 five thousand people, I would be more shocked if he 852 00:46:41.159 --> 00:46:44.159 didn't make a mistake or two. I'm not worried about 853 00:46:44.199 --> 00:46:46.039 that at all. It is what it is. And and 854 00:46:46.440 --> 00:46:50.199 kudos to Derek and Brad for not chewing his rear 855 00:46:50.320 --> 00:46:53.239 end off. I think he doesn't need that. He knows 856 00:46:53.280 --> 00:46:58.480 what happened. He doesn't need Dad Tom's two screaming at 857 00:46:58.519 --> 00:47:00.000 him for making a mistake. It is what it is, 858 00:47:00.760 --> 00:47:03.760 so you know, and then then the other mistakes, there's 859 00:47:03.760 --> 00:47:06.639 definitely some stuff to be had there, but like, celebrate 860 00:47:06.639 --> 00:47:09.119 what you what you've progressed in, and celebrate the win, 861 00:47:09.639 --> 00:47:11.119 go back and take a look at the film and say, 862 00:47:11.119 --> 00:47:13.679 all right, we've got to get these mistakes under control, 863 00:47:14.039 --> 00:47:18.039 like immediately, because we can do that and with the 864 00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:21.039 goals that we'll put in win, we're gonna be all right. 865 00:47:22.719 --> 00:47:25.920 And now you get to uh face coming up this weekend. 866 00:47:26.199 --> 00:47:30.639 If dude, if anybody loses an aerial duel against Luco Acosta, 867 00:47:31.000 --> 00:47:32.639 I might jump out of the press box. 868 00:47:34.519 --> 00:47:36.920 So you have you, I just. 869 00:47:37.199 --> 00:47:40.159 Don't please don't do it. It's like this past weekend 870 00:47:40.639 --> 00:47:42.760 Sydney was saying the same thing about maxim morales, like 871 00:47:42.840 --> 00:47:48.719 don't don't you dare. But Luco Acosta unfortunately has a 872 00:47:49.880 --> 00:47:54.559 knock on wood, has a thing with Atlanta United. Hopefully 873 00:47:54.559 --> 00:47:57.000 he's lost that now that he's joined another team, but 874 00:47:57.280 --> 00:47:59.079 that is that is a concern for sure. 875 00:47:59.480 --> 00:48:03.840 Yeah, and you know, you you have someone like Luco 876 00:48:03.960 --> 00:48:06.360 who is a certifiable pain in the you know what, 877 00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:11.159 and he just finds ways to get open. I mean 878 00:48:11.199 --> 00:48:14.840 he you know, it's he's got dudes who are five 879 00:48:14.920 --> 00:48:17.559 six inches taller than he is setting picks. You know, 880 00:48:17.599 --> 00:48:20.880 you get lost in traffic, you find that extra space. 881 00:48:20.960 --> 00:48:23.639 I mean, honestly, it's like it's like that point guard 882 00:48:23.639 --> 00:48:27.440 that we see in basketball where you're running, you're running 883 00:48:27.440 --> 00:48:31.239 the motion offense, and then he senses that opening and 884 00:48:31.280 --> 00:48:33.519 he just wants to kind of just kind of shave 885 00:48:33.599 --> 00:48:35.639 off of the outside shoulder off of one of the picks, 886 00:48:35.639 --> 00:48:37.440 and he gets himself some space and that's all he 887 00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:39.960 needs to launch a three. And that's what I've I've 888 00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:42.199 you know, we have. I've always kind of noticed with 889 00:48:42.280 --> 00:48:45.119 Luco Luco, it's like he's in the he's in the motion, 890 00:48:45.280 --> 00:48:47.719 he's in the weave, and it's like, Okay, I'm gonna 891 00:48:47.760 --> 00:48:49.760 cut this pic. I'm gonna cut coming off of this 892 00:48:49.840 --> 00:48:53.280 pict short to give me some space.

Nah, So how did you get 907 00:49:43.119 --> 00:49:44.480 victimized by April fools? 908 00:49:46.639 --> 00:49:48.559 You know what's so frustrating about it is it wasn't 909 00:49:48.599 --> 00:49:53.880 even that it was an April fool's joke. It was 910 00:49:54.039 --> 00:49:56.559 just life said, hey, even though you're trying to avoid 911 00:49:56.599 --> 00:49:59.360 April fools, I'm going to April fools you except it's 912 00:49:59.360 --> 00:50:01.400 not actually April. I'm really gonna do this to you 913 00:50:02.519 --> 00:50:06.000 in one day yesterday, Okay, I had a brand new 914 00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:10.719 lawnmower break and I spent four hours trying to figure 915 00:50:10.760 --> 00:50:13.440 out how to get it repaired, slash fixed, slash replaced 916 00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:19.280 because it is brand new. Okay, still haven't got an answer, answer. 917 00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:22.880 See, I mean do well. First and foremost, my first 918 00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:24.760 question is do you know that this was, in fact 919 00:50:24.800 --> 00:50:25.599 a new lawn mower. 920 00:50:26.320 --> 00:50:29.280 Oh yeah, yeah, I was the one that bought it. 921 00:50:29.599 --> 00:50:32.239 Okay, Well, but I mean it's like it wasn't like 922 00:50:32.360 --> 00:50:34.280 you bought it off of the showroom floor or everything. 923 00:50:34.280 --> 00:50:35.079 It was like in the box. 924 00:50:35.199 --> 00:50:37.559 It was in the box. I put it together. Okay, yeah, 925 00:50:37.599 --> 00:50:39.960 one hundred percent like came out the box. I put 926 00:50:39.960 --> 00:50:42.440 a couple of bolts in, put the oil in the 927 00:50:42.440 --> 00:50:47.760 whole nine yards Okay, so yeah, that happened. And when 928 00:50:47.800 --> 00:50:49.159 that happened, I was like, all right, well, I'm gonna 929 00:50:49.159 --> 00:50:51.119 at least go use the weed eater. I'm gonna go 930 00:50:51.199 --> 00:50:54.000 do my little you know stuff around the house. Went 931 00:50:54.039 --> 00:50:57.039 to go crank up the weed eater, and right when 932 00:50:57.039 --> 00:51:02.800 it was about to crank up, the string broke. And then. 933 00:51:04.159 --> 00:51:05.519 Third piece of equipment. 934 00:51:06.400 --> 00:51:10.760 And then that night last night, my wife was trying 935 00:51:10.800 --> 00:51:13.840 to do some work. We're getting our oldest kind of 936 00:51:13.920 --> 00:51:17.679 getting some college stuff prepared, and she goes to open 937 00:51:17.760 --> 00:51:21.719 up her laptop and the hinge on the laptop just breaks, 938 00:51:22.480 --> 00:51:27.239 like the screen just broke been there, which thankfully we 939 00:51:27.360 --> 00:51:31.320 have two very capable children who were able to get 940 00:51:31.320 --> 00:51:34.079 it back kind of together and put a screw in 941 00:51:34.119 --> 00:51:35.920 there and it's working. But I'm like, dude, what is 942 00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:40.519 going on today? This is absolute garbage. So I'm grateful 943 00:51:40.559 --> 00:51:44.159 that April Fool's is over, And yes it is. It is, 944 00:51:44.239 --> 00:51:47.519 Max Bretos. You can get on later because I'm done. 945 00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:48.760 I'm done with April first. 946 00:51:48.960 --> 00:51:52.559 Yes, one Florida state or two another. It will be 947 00:51:52.559 --> 00:51:56.920 good to have, good to have Max talking. Yes, good 948 00:51:56.920 --> 00:52:00.840 to have him on the show. Yeah. I mean literally 949 00:52:00.920 --> 00:52:04.079 everybody was trying to figure out all the April foolsy 950 00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:07.360 and stuff. You know, has had a thing with Formula 951 00:52:07.400 --> 00:52:10.199 one where they're they've got a new sponsor, and everybody's like, oh, 952 00:52:10.199 --> 00:52:13.039 are we sure about that? Yeah, that that wasn't no 953 00:52:13.079 --> 00:52:17.000 April Fools. But it takes entirely too much effort for me. 954 00:52:17.639 --> 00:52:20.760 It's like cutting a promo. The best promos are the 955 00:52:20.800 --> 00:52:24.719 ones that have that are that are shrouded in truth, 956 00:52:25.719 --> 00:52:27.320 and it's like you sit there and you have a 957 00:52:27.360 --> 00:52:29.679 point of view, but there's still there's still some truth 958 00:52:29.719 --> 00:52:32.920 bombs in there. Those are the Those are the best 959 00:52:33.119 --> 00:52:39.360 April Fools notifications that you get, you know. But for 960 00:52:39.519 --> 00:52:42.400 me to try and formulate something like that with everything 961 00:52:42.440 --> 00:52:45.199 that we have going on, it would take entirely too 962 00:52:45.280 --> 00:52:48.960 much time out of my day to sit there and go, well, hey, 963 00:52:49.039 --> 00:52:53.159 you know what, wink wink April fool No, it's just no, 964 00:52:53.320 --> 00:52:56.480 it's look, with all the news going on and all 965 00:52:56.480 --> 00:52:58.480 the stuff we got to talk about, No, I can't. 966 00:52:58.519 --> 00:53:00.679 I can't waste any time on that kind of a shenanigan. 967 00:53:00.719 --> 00:53:01.079 I really can. 968 00:53:01.199 --> 00:53:03.800 Yeah, on the day before my wife was like, are 969 00:53:03.840 --> 00:53:06.760 you gonna do anything for scribes and spikes for April Fools? 970 00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:09.000 And I was like I kind of thought about it, 971 00:53:09.320 --> 00:53:11.800 like just what what could I do? But I couldn't 972 00:53:11.800 --> 00:53:14.039 put that much like mental energy into it, and I 973 00:53:14.119 --> 00:53:15.719 just ended up being like, you know what it is, 974 00:53:15.719 --> 00:53:17.320 what it is. I'm not like, I don't even like 975 00:53:17.360 --> 00:53:19.480 this holiday whatever. I don't like this day. It's so. 976 00:53:20.920 --> 00:53:23.840 It is not a national holiday that people like it. 977 00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:30.039 Like something came to me, I'll participate, right, So yeah, 978 00:53:30.079 --> 00:53:32.599 I was just like, dude, I can't.

It has just been party city. And 1025 00:56:03.159 --> 00:56:06.599 as someone who's been in Newcastle on a Friday and 1026 00:56:06.599 --> 00:56:11.760 Saturday night, I can attest to uh the wildness that 1027 00:56:12.639 --> 00:56:15.440 it is. And that was not even with a trophy 1028 00:56:15.599 --> 00:56:16.719 to celebrate. 1029 00:56:17.960 --> 00:56:18.559 It. 1030 00:56:18.559 --> 00:56:20.840 It has no doubt been madness up there. 1031 00:56:21.360 --> 00:56:25.159 And I mean that's uh, I'm waiting for you to 1032 00:56:25.199 --> 00:56:27.480 get that scarf and add it to your background. 1033 00:56:28.199 --> 00:56:30.280 Yeah, I wonder. Well, the problem a little bit here 1034 00:56:30.400 --> 00:56:33.639 is it's a pretty well established background, so I would 1035 00:56:33.679 --> 00:56:38.280 need to like get rid of something. 1036 00:56:38.880 --> 00:56:41.480 Oh no, no, no, no, you just get another You 1037 00:56:41.559 --> 00:56:46.719 end up getting another shower rod and you're string it across. 1038 00:56:47.199 --> 00:56:49.360 These are just all up on the on the wall. 1039 00:56:49.440 --> 00:56:53.119 But see like I have some over there too. See 1040 00:56:53.119 --> 00:56:56.239 like I got uh in that corner. That's the corner 1041 00:56:56.239 --> 00:56:57.239 you don't usually see here. 1042 00:56:57.599 --> 00:56:59.079 We don't usually see that corner. 1043 00:56:59.159 --> 00:57:01.440 Yeah, so I have a little bit of room there. 1044 00:57:01.760 --> 00:57:05.239 There's your Campion's Cup one. Yeah, nicely done. 1045 00:57:05.920 --> 00:57:08.360 Little All Star Game two thousand and eight. 1046 00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:11.880 Oh see now that's strong though. That's good a right, Toronto, 1047 00:57:11.920 --> 00:57:15.760 I think that was That's a good one. Yeah, yeah, 1048 00:57:16.119 --> 00:57:17.400 but no, you just you just need to get a 1049 00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:21.960 bigger You need bigger studio space. That's the that's the 1050 00:57:21.960 --> 00:57:27.159 biggest thing there. So biggest news that came from the 1051 00:57:27.199 --> 00:57:31.440 week was the dismissal of Peter Urmes, mutually agreeing to 1052 00:57:31.480 --> 00:57:34.920 part ways after seventeen years as coach. One of the 1053 00:57:34.960 --> 00:57:37.440 pieces of the fabric that is Sporting Kansas City. And 1054 00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:39.400 that's where I wanted to start off with you this week. 1055 00:57:40.400 --> 00:57:42.920 I know that for the longest time it was like 1056 00:57:43.599 --> 00:57:46.400 he's gone, He's staying he's going, he's staying, he's going, 1057 00:57:46.480 --> 00:57:48.440 he's staying. Oh, they had a really bad start, but 1058 00:57:48.480 --> 00:57:50.440 now they turn into zombie Sporting and they come out 1059 00:57:50.480 --> 00:57:52.440 of lane eight, they make the playoffs, they make a run, 1060 00:57:52.519 --> 00:57:55.199 do this, do that, mid season acquisitions and they get 1061 00:57:55.239 --> 00:57:58.360 into the playoffs, all this kind of stuff, and I 1062 00:57:58.440 --> 00:58:01.239 mean it finally just got to the point to where 1063 00:58:01.559 --> 00:58:04.840 Dallas puts you in your seat and it was time 1064 00:58:04.920 --> 00:58:09.280 for Peter Vermes to go. I mean, Sporting is Sporting's 1065 00:58:09.320 --> 00:58:11.599 hurting right now. And that's kind of where I wanted 1066 00:58:11.599 --> 00:58:13.760 to start, was with Sporting and Peter Urmes and your 1067 00:58:13.760 --> 00:58:16.480 thoughts about Vermes on the whole, what he's meant to 1068 00:58:16.519 --> 00:58:19.440 Sporting Kansas City and now that he's gone, now. 1069 00:58:19.239 --> 00:58:24.119 What Yeah, So a lot to a lot to dig 1070 00:58:24.159 --> 00:58:30.079 into there. But first for the legacy part, you know, 1071 00:58:30.119 --> 00:58:35.639 I I I want MLS to get to the point 1072 00:58:35.760 --> 00:58:44.840 where like there's more people, more fans who respect and 1073 00:58:45.079 --> 00:58:47.400 understand the history. 1074 00:58:47.440 --> 00:58:47.960 Of the league. 1075 00:58:48.000 --> 00:58:52.480 Right Like I've been around for the beginning, but so 1076 00:58:52.599 --> 00:58:58.760 many fans and look, you guys, you know you're you 1077 00:58:58.760 --> 00:59:04.679 you you understand it. You know when your city enters 1078 00:59:04.719 --> 00:59:07.000 into it. That's kind of where you start, a lot 1079 00:59:07.039 --> 00:59:09.559 of people don't go backwards with that, you know. So 1080 00:59:09.679 --> 00:59:13.039 for Atlanta, you know, you start with with Meggie and 1081 00:59:13.119 --> 00:59:16.320 Joseph and and that whole crew, and like that's your beginning. 1082 00:59:17.360 --> 00:59:22.760 You're launching off point for for your MLS sort of understanding, 1083 00:59:22.840 --> 00:59:25.360 if you will, right, And the same happened in Seattle, right, 1084 00:59:25.400 --> 00:59:31.719 the same happened in Portland. But I say this because 1085 00:59:33.159 --> 00:59:39.119 I think you understand more about what Peter Remise has 1086 00:59:39.159 --> 00:59:43.719 meant to Kansas City and that organization more when when 1087 00:59:43.760 --> 00:59:47.079 you understand the past, right, Like, this is a guy 1088 00:59:47.199 --> 00:59:49.599 like I don't know if there's a I mean I 1089 00:59:50.000 --> 00:59:52.280 should I would, I should say I'd imagine at some 1090 00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:54.079 point the stadium would be built, right, But like, I 1091 00:59:54.079 --> 00:59:56.280 don't know if a stadium gets built without Peter Remise 1092 00:59:56.880 --> 00:59:59.960 doing what he does there, right, Like, they don't become 1093 01:00:01.719 --> 01:00:04.719 a club that had how many straight shutouts? And I'm 1094 01:00:05.239 --> 01:00:08.920 sorry sellouts? How many you know that that was? 1095 01:00:09.559 --> 01:00:10.039 Uh? 1096 01:00:10.599 --> 01:00:13.519 It became a venue for the US national team. The 1097 01:00:13.559 --> 01:00:17.480 culture that was built there, so much of that is 1098 01:00:17.480 --> 01:00:24.159 is on Peter Remise, right, Like for him to have 1099 01:00:24.360 --> 01:00:27.800 his run as long as he did is remarkable. There's 1100 01:00:27.800 --> 01:00:31.360 no doubt about it, right, So I think he deserves 1101 01:00:31.360 --> 01:00:37.840 his plaudits. And uh yeah, you know, it's it's it. 1102 01:00:39.039 --> 01:00:40.599 We We've said it a couple of years ago. I 1103 01:00:40.599 --> 01:00:42.239 think I think sort of the beginning of the end 1104 01:00:42.320 --> 01:00:48.840 is when he uh you know, doesn't refresh that roster 1105 01:00:49.039 --> 01:00:53.480 quick enough. You know, now now you're now it's becomes 1106 01:00:53.480 --> 01:00:56.480 more difficult, right like and and you're kind of swimming 1107 01:00:56.519 --> 01:00:58.440 upstream a little bit. And and that was the case 1108 01:00:58.480 --> 01:00:59.760 I think with them, and they had to take a 1109 01:00:59.760 --> 01:01:02.719 few swings at a few players, and some misses and 1110 01:01:02.760 --> 01:01:06.039 injuries and all kinds of things that happened. But listen, 1111 01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:12.000 he should go down as a legacy guy, no doubt, 1112 01:01:12.079 --> 01:01:15.400 for sporting. Now to the second part of your question. 1113 01:01:17.239 --> 01:01:20.679 Because of all of that I just said, because. 1114 01:01:20.280 --> 01:01:20.960 He was so. 1115 01:01:23.000 --> 01:01:25.639 Ingrained and he was so sporting Kansas City, right, he 1116 01:01:25.719 --> 01:01:30.320 was mister sport in Kansas City, the what next becomes 1117 01:01:30.360 --> 01:01:34.239 so much harder. Like if he was just the coach 1118 01:01:34.320 --> 01:01:37.760 for a couple of years, all right, Well, you just 1119 01:01:37.760 --> 01:01:40.000 find a new coach and you figure out a new 1120 01:01:40.000 --> 01:01:42.800 way to do things. But when it's a guy who's 1121 01:01:42.840 --> 01:01:46.880 been there for so long, who you know, look, you 1122 01:01:47.199 --> 01:01:49.639 knew when you when Peter Remi stepped out that they 1123 01:01:49.639 --> 01:01:51.079 were playing in a four to three three you know 1124 01:01:51.119 --> 01:01:53.320 they were pressing, you know, you know, you know you 1125 01:01:53.360 --> 01:01:58.440 ran for a game. Also, he had, you know, those 1126 01:01:58.440 --> 01:02:01.920 different roles, right, he wasn't just the head coach. And 1127 01:02:01.960 --> 01:02:08.000 I think in today's MLS world, I think if you 1128 01:02:08.119 --> 01:02:11.039 put I think that's why you don't see a lot 1129 01:02:11.039 --> 01:02:15.320 of technical directors last head coaches around, right, there's only 1130 01:02:15.559 --> 01:02:20.039 a handful or less than a handful, because you know, 1131 01:02:20.079 --> 01:02:21.599 when you put all your eggs in that one basket 1132 01:02:21.639 --> 01:02:24.400 and then you've got and they break, you know, that's 1133 01:02:24.400 --> 01:02:25.079 a big mess. 1134 01:02:25.400 --> 01:02:26.480 Yes, that's a big mess. 1135 01:02:28.599 --> 01:02:29.920 I don't know where they go from here, to be. 1136 01:02:29.840 --> 01:02:32.000 Honest, like, yeah, because Carrie's a Wagne is going to 1137 01:02:32.039 --> 01:02:33.800 take over as the innerm I imagine for the rest 1138 01:02:33.800 --> 01:02:37.840 of this season unless there's that guy that is out 1139 01:02:37.880 --> 01:02:42.480 there that they sit there and go ooh. And but 1140 01:02:42.679 --> 01:02:45.920 do you as a manager who would be coming into 1141 01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:50.920 this situation, as we always say, you don't want to 1142 01:02:50.920 --> 01:02:53.880 be the guy that replaces the guy. Yeah, you want 1143 01:02:53.880 --> 01:02:55.920 to be the guy that replaces the guy that replaces 1144 01:02:55.960 --> 01:03:00.119 the guy. So then do all of the names that 1145 01:03:00.159 --> 01:03:03.920 we would have circling through our head. Wait until twenty 1146 01:03:04.039 --> 01:03:06.760 six and see, you know the success rate of carries 1147 01:03:06.760 --> 01:03:10.760 the Wagnin and or does someone sit there? I would 1148 01:03:10.800 --> 01:03:13.440 I would think of it this way. If there is 1149 01:03:13.480 --> 01:03:18.559 a young coach that wants to go ahead and get 1150 01:03:18.599 --> 01:03:22.159 that gig, they think they're ready for that first major 1151 01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:25.639 league soccer gig or that first Division one gig, that 1152 01:03:25.800 --> 01:03:28.320 young coach is gonna want to jump the line with 1153 01:03:28.360 --> 01:03:30.320 all the experience guys who are just going to kind 1154 01:03:30.320 --> 01:03:34.079 of wait and see what the offseason is with sporting. Hey, 1155 01:03:34.119 --> 01:03:37.000 I can work with this group. Young coach who wants 1156 01:03:37.039 --> 01:03:40.079 to jump the line would be there for whenever they 1157 01:03:40.079 --> 01:03:43.280 feel that carries the Wagnin's run is okay, you're cool. 1158 01:03:43.800 --> 01:03:45.800 But I would think a lot of the experience names 1159 01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:48.639 would wait things out until after this season is over. 1160 01:03:49.280 --> 01:03:53.679 And that's a long wait. That's November, man, and yeah, 1161 01:03:53.920 --> 01:03:57.239 you're dealing with this this kind of dynamic here. The 1162 01:03:57.320 --> 01:03:59.360 experienced guys are gonna want to wait. Then they're gonna 1163 01:03:59.360 --> 01:04:02.760 want to get conversations with the front office and promises 1164 01:04:02.800 --> 01:04:05.159 and such. I think the young coach that wants to 1165 01:04:05.199 --> 01:04:06.679 jump the line is gonna sit there and say I 1166 01:04:06.760 --> 01:04:08.719 can work with this group. I think that's where you're 1167 01:04:08.719 --> 01:04:11.320 looking here in the interim with Kansas City outside of 1168 01:04:11.360 --> 01:04:12.559 Kerry's a Wagden taken over. 1169 01:04:13.039 --> 01:04:17.559 And of course too though you know, look this this 1170 01:04:17.840 --> 01:04:22.320 has been thought. This wasn't a knee jerk reaction, right, 1171 01:04:22.360 --> 01:04:24.480 this has no doubt been thought about for a while. 1172 01:04:25.840 --> 01:04:28.880 You don't just think about like you think of it too. 1173 01:04:29.400 --> 01:04:31.440 If you're someone in that position, you don't think about, 1174 01:04:31.880 --> 01:04:33.480 all right, we have to get rid of him. It's 1175 01:04:33.519 --> 01:04:36.760 we get rid of him, then what is next? So 1176 01:04:37.960 --> 01:04:39.880 I don't know if they've already had these conversations, but 1177 01:04:40.000 --> 01:04:46.079 certainly probably internally they have a board of potential people there. 1178 01:04:46.079 --> 01:04:52.320 And there's no shortage of MLS experienced people out there, right, 1179 01:04:52.599 --> 01:04:55.280 I mean some of the bigger names too, Jim Curtin, 1180 01:04:55.400 --> 01:05:03.679 Bob Bradley, Like, there's people there who have you know, 1181 01:05:03.719 --> 01:05:07.519 as much experience in the league, you know, or almost 1182 01:05:07.559 --> 01:05:10.960 as much. I think Vermeis goes back to today one, Yeah, 1183 01:05:11.719 --> 01:05:13.360 in this league as as vermeistos, So. 1184 01:05:15.480 --> 01:05:19.920 Who and uh, I'm I'm gonna look at transferm marked here. 1185 01:05:20.039 --> 01:05:22.360 So I guess we'll kind of workshop this as we 1186 01:05:22.400 --> 01:05:26.719 go I mean you mentioned names that are out there. 1187 01:05:27.559 --> 01:05:29.679 You've got it. You've got a Bob Bradley that's out there. 1188 01:05:29.719 --> 01:05:34.159 Geo Sevaes is out there, he's working. So I mean 1189 01:05:34.199 --> 01:05:37.360 there there's there are plenty of folks that we know 1190 01:05:38.679 --> 01:05:42.000 that would be the ones that are the common sense 1191 01:05:42.119 --> 01:05:45.280 names of Okay, yeah, I could see that individual, but 1192 01:05:45.320 --> 01:05:50.960 I would think that with this group, and I wanted 1193 01:05:51.000 --> 01:05:53.280 to look at ages and things like that when it 1194 01:05:53.320 --> 01:05:57.960 comes to who's available and contracts and things like that, 1195 01:05:58.119 --> 01:06:01.280 So contracts at the end into this year that you 1196 01:06:01.400 --> 01:06:07.400 have to think about Eric, Tommy Leamania, Rodoya, Libold Fernandez 1197 01:06:07.440 --> 01:06:12.239 who's currently injured, Rosero, Kyrie Shelton who's thirty one, Memo 1198 01:06:12.320 --> 01:06:16.360 Rodriguez who's twenty nine, Andrew Brody who is injured, Voladaire 1199 01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:22.519 and Dembay the Song, Mason, toy A Goatta, Pulls Camp 1200 01:06:22.920 --> 01:06:28.639 Miller A Friifa, and Showy that's that's night, thank you. 1201 01:06:30.079 --> 01:06:32.280 Five Wait hang on, all right, let me count the 1202 01:06:32.360 --> 01:06:37.679 number of dudes here five nine, any that's like thirteen 1203 01:06:37.760 --> 01:06:40.519 or fourteen dudes that you're staring at here, two four, six, 1204 01:06:40.639 --> 01:06:46.280 eight nine to get to Voladair twelve fifteen seventeen. Dudes, 1205 01:06:46.320 --> 01:06:48.920 you've got to make contract decisions on whose contracts are 1206 01:06:48.920 --> 01:06:50.920 out at the end of this season. So if you 1207 01:06:51.079 --> 01:06:55.800 were a manager that looked at that group and was like, Okay, 1208 01:06:56.559 --> 01:06:59.599 SHALLOWI has shallow He's there till the end of twenty six, 1209 01:06:59.719 --> 01:07:03.559 same with Suleimanov. Manu Garcia is a twenty seven, Jovolich 1210 01:07:03.679 --> 01:07:05.920 is a twenty seven, Jake Davis is a twenty seven. 1211 01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:09.719 Court Camp Bartletney and James are twenty seven. So there 1212 01:07:09.840 --> 01:07:13.840 are and I'm gonna kind of say this, and there 1213 01:07:13.880 --> 01:07:20.000 are pieces that are there past this season, Shallowy, Jovolich. 1214 01:07:20.519 --> 01:07:21.519 There's some stuff there. 1215 01:07:21.519 --> 01:07:22.880 I think the ones you mentioned too are the more 1216 01:07:22.920 --> 01:07:26.679 cordy core pieces as well. Yeah, like the ones that 1217 01:07:26.719 --> 01:07:29.840 are that are go beyond twenty five. 1218 01:07:29.880 --> 01:07:34.599 I mean yeah, So the those core pieces, the Shallowy 1219 01:07:34.800 --> 01:07:38.119 and Joviolch, you know, part of your your scoring output. 1220 01:07:38.199 --> 01:07:41.360 That So there's some stuff that you can work with here. 1221 01:07:41.360 --> 01:07:43.679 There's some clay that you can mold an art class. 1222 01:07:43.719 --> 01:07:45.639 If you're that manager that wants to come in with 1223 01:07:45.679 --> 01:07:47.360 this group after this season. 1224 01:07:48.400 --> 01:07:51.960 Yeah, for sure. And I don't think of all those 1225 01:07:52.000 --> 01:07:55.079 that you mentioned that you've got to come to a 1226 01:07:55.079 --> 01:07:59.400 contract decision on like there's a host you could just say, 1227 01:07:59.519 --> 01:08:08.960 piece out two and there's probably a few that you can. Yeah, 1228 01:08:09.119 --> 01:08:12.039 I don't think, you know, I don't think a lot 1229 01:08:12.079 --> 01:08:15.519 of those are big money parts, right. 1230 01:08:15.519 --> 01:08:20.399 So no, I mean Yoviolich.

So a 1235 01:08:33.279 --> 01:08:35.000 God has got a value of two and a half 1236 01:08:35.199 --> 01:08:39.359 million euro, Eric Tommy's at two million euro, Brody is 1237 01:08:39.399 --> 01:08:41.720 at a million and a half, Fernandez is at a 1238 01:08:41.760 --> 01:08:45.319 million twenty, Memo Rodrigue is a million twenty. A lot 1239 01:08:45.359 --> 01:08:48.039 of folks are in that million range. And then you 1240 01:08:48.079 --> 01:08:50.119 know the ones that are valued at less than a 1241 01:08:50.159 --> 01:08:54.800 million that are out this year Libel, Toy, b Song, Shelton, 1242 01:08:54.920 --> 01:08:58.920 Poll's Camp and the God bless you, Keeper Shi Wei 1243 01:08:59.279 --> 01:09:02.319 and Jansen mill So, and you got a couple of 1244 01:09:02.640 --> 01:09:06.199 college you know, Court Camp Bartletney and James Bartlett and 1245 01:09:06.279 --> 01:09:07.760 James thank you for your support. 1246 01:09:07.800 --> 01:09:08.079 Here you go. 1247 01:09:08.840 --> 01:09:11.920 Uh So, there's a lot of dudes that are you know, 1248 01:09:12.239 --> 01:09:15.560 it's like the manageable with their values and probably even 1249 01:09:15.560 --> 01:09:20.399 more manageable with their salary figures. So I mean, this 1250 01:09:20.119 --> 01:09:22.920 is this is something where if they let you cook, 1251 01:09:23.000 --> 01:09:24.920 I think you could be well if you were, if 1252 01:09:24.920 --> 01:09:28.359 you were an experienced manager with all of the with 1253 01:09:28.439 --> 01:09:30.640 all of the space that you would have with just 1254 01:09:30.800 --> 01:09:33.960 roster space. Coming into the twenty sixth seeds. 1255 01:09:34.239 --> 01:09:36.880 I agree, and I think I would imagine management too 1256 01:09:36.920 --> 01:09:41.039 would be would be uh, you know, willing to spend. 1257 01:09:41.920 --> 01:09:44.399 You know, I think I think they they they proved 1258 01:09:44.439 --> 01:09:48.600 that a little bit with with going out and splashing 1259 01:09:48.600 --> 01:09:51.600 a cash on polito. Obviously that kind of experiment didn't 1260 01:09:52.199 --> 01:09:54.399 go the way they hoped it would because of the injuries, 1261 01:09:54.439 --> 01:09:58.319 but you know they before that they were very frugal. 1262 01:09:58.399 --> 01:10:01.760 So you know, I think I think, especially when you 1263 01:10:02.680 --> 01:10:08.279 make a change like this, a cultural shift, if you will, 1264 01:10:09.000 --> 01:10:13.039 because again of Vermes' tenure, I think you need to 1265 01:10:13.079 --> 01:10:15.680 also back it up with you know, opening up the 1266 01:10:15.760 --> 01:10:16.199 check book. 1267 01:10:17.520 --> 01:10:23.640 Now in the West, Lag, you know, Lag is getting 1268 01:10:24.199 --> 01:10:27.039 paintsil back. He was on the bench last week and 1269 01:10:27.079 --> 01:10:31.159 then you had Conker caf hemispheric extravaganza this week, and 1270 01:10:31.960 --> 01:10:34.039 you know, you still don't have Ricky Pooge. I know 1271 01:10:34.119 --> 01:10:36.399 the expectation is there for Marco Roys and Diego Fa 1272 01:10:36.439 --> 01:10:39.760 Gundez at ali E at ali e to you pick 1273 01:10:39.840 --> 01:10:43.159 up the slack in the interim, I you know, anybody 1274 01:10:43.199 --> 01:10:47.840 that's calling for Greg Vanny is you know? No? Because look, dude, 1275 01:10:47.840 --> 01:10:50.800 one MLS Cup and he's dealing with things right now, 1276 01:10:50.800 --> 01:10:53.079 and he's also in multiple competitions. The one that I 1277 01:10:53.079 --> 01:10:59.000 would circle would be Houston because of expectations and such 1278 01:10:59.119 --> 01:11:00.880 and lack of goal scoring. 1279 01:11:01.399 --> 01:11:03.199 But I don't know how much that's on Olsen, like 1280 01:11:05.039 --> 01:11:06.760 and and we're you know, we're not part of these 1281 01:11:06.800 --> 01:11:10.159 conversations obviously, right, but like you we talked about it before. 1282 01:11:10.199 --> 01:11:16.199 You lose two hugely influential midfielders, you don't really replace 1283 01:11:16.239 --> 01:11:20.199 those guys and you knew, so like, is that on 1284 01:11:20.359 --> 01:11:21.720 Olson or is it on on Stad? 1285 01:11:21.800 --> 01:11:26.079 You know? Yeah, I mean you don't have a you 1286 01:11:26.079 --> 01:11:29.720 don't have Kataskia. You didn't replace them, and the goals 1287 01:11:29.720 --> 01:11:33.439 aren't there. I'm just I'm just wondering. And I posed 1288 01:11:33.439 --> 01:11:38.560 this more as a question out of keeping up with 1289 01:11:38.600 --> 01:11:41.119 the Joneses and hitting panic buttons more than anything else. 1290 01:11:41.119 --> 01:11:45.239 I'm not trying to attach logic to it. 1291 01:11:45.159 --> 01:11:46.319 It is mos after all. 1292 01:11:46.640 --> 01:11:50.239 Yeah, so we've already had one firing that wasn't attached 1293 01:11:50.239 --> 01:11:54.880 to logic in Montreal. Color me shocked. Then you have 1294 01:11:55.159 --> 01:11:58.600 the one in Kansas City, which you know, you just 1295 01:11:58.720 --> 01:12:00.720 I think you kind of you hit that point where 1296 01:12:00.720 --> 01:12:03.479 it's just kind of like, yeah, after all of the 1297 01:12:03.520 --> 01:12:05.640 you know, the ups and downs, it's probably just like, yeah, 1298 01:12:05.680 --> 01:12:06.960 we probably should. 1299 01:12:06.680 --> 01:12:08.720 Yeah, that's slow burn the last couple of years. 1300 01:12:08.880 --> 01:12:13.199 And then you end up now with teams that you 1301 01:12:13.319 --> 01:12:15.640 were right now, Like I said, Lag in Houston, they're 1302 01:12:15.640 --> 01:12:17.319 the ones at the bottom of the table in the 1303 01:12:17.600 --> 01:12:22.000 Western Conference, and you're sitting there going, okay, Lag. You know, look, 1304 01:12:22.039 --> 01:12:26.920 if Lag wigs out, then something really ain't right because 1305 01:12:27.439 --> 01:12:30.479 I would think that Vanny's got enough of an extension 1306 01:12:30.560 --> 01:12:33.119 court after you know, winning MLS Cup that you shouldn't 1307 01:12:33.159 --> 01:12:36.000 be concerned with what you're seeing with them right now. 1308 01:12:36.039 --> 01:12:38.840 And so by process of elimination, I know that we 1309 01:12:38.920 --> 01:12:43.399 had Caleb Porter on the list, Robin Fraser, depending on 1310 01:12:43.439 --> 01:12:47.359 your how you gauged your panic button in Toronto, I 1311 01:12:47.359 --> 01:12:51.039 think Robin Fraser was just given a crappy car and 1312 01:12:51.079 --> 01:12:52.960 he's trying to get to work to it every day. 1313 01:12:53.000 --> 01:12:54.720 It's like I told you it was. 1314 01:12:54.840 --> 01:12:58.720 It was that house that was you know, like it 1315 01:12:59.239 --> 01:13:04.439 was mark valued at nine hundred thousand and it was 1316 01:13:04.520 --> 01:13:06.680 lower to five hundred thousand, and you're like, this is 1317 01:13:06.680 --> 01:13:08.239 a great deal. Why is it so cheap? 1318 01:13:08.439 --> 01:13:11.279 Uh oh, I see yes. And then Tom Hanks and 1319 01:13:11.319 --> 01:13:13.119 Shelley Long come into the house and they sit there 1320 01:13:13.119 --> 01:13:15.680 and it's like and you know, things fall through upper 1321 01:13:15.680 --> 01:13:18.159 floors and things like that. You're going, uh, yeah, I 1322 01:13:18.199 --> 01:13:19.920 need to bring in Chip and Joanna on this one 1323 01:13:19.920 --> 01:13:24.000 to renovate this house. Caleb Porter would be I think 1324 01:13:24.039 --> 01:13:27.840 on the list for me, even still, even as they 1325 01:13:27.960 --> 01:13:30.239 knocked off Red Bulls this past week. So I mean, 1326 01:13:30.359 --> 01:13:34.880 right now, as you look at things Houston and this 1327 01:13:35.000 --> 01:13:37.560 is just slow starts. I mean you're looking at Houston, 1328 01:13:37.680 --> 01:13:40.479 you're looking at Toronto, and you're looking at New England. 1329 01:13:40.560 --> 01:13:42.640 But I think that Toronto is just kind of keep 1330 01:13:42.840 --> 01:13:45.199 just putting up with Robin Fraser's like, Robin, do whatever 1331 01:13:45.239 --> 01:13:48.680 you can with it, and you know, you're you're fine 1332 01:13:48.720 --> 01:13:50.720 for the interim. But I'm still looking at New England 1333 01:13:50.760 --> 01:13:53.239 and you know, I'm not looking logically, but I'm looking 1334 01:13:53.279 --> 01:13:54.000 at Houston too. 1335 01:13:54.960 --> 01:13:56.680 And I think in New England, right, like I think 1336 01:13:58.199 --> 01:13:59.840 I forgot who I want to give credit. I want 1337 01:13:59.880 --> 01:14:04.520 to say maybe Donny. Donny might have had it. I 1338 01:14:04.560 --> 01:14:07.000 was listening in on on on their show, he and 1339 01:14:07.119 --> 01:14:11.279 he and Meola a couple of days ago, and I 1340 01:14:11.319 --> 01:14:19.600 think he said Porter's record was identical to Vermeise's record, 1341 01:14:20.439 --> 01:14:24.119 like over that course of games, like you know, until 1342 01:14:24.199 --> 01:14:29.680 until until this winning as Red Bulls, so like over 1343 01:14:29.760 --> 01:14:32.199 I think the thirteen games or whatever it was that 1344 01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:36.479 you know, you go back into last year with Porters. 1345 01:14:36.520 --> 01:14:39.960 So yeah, I don't know it was that? Was that 1346 01:14:40.079 --> 01:14:42.920 a was that a stay of execution? 1347 01:14:43.399 --> 01:14:43.560 You know? 1348 01:14:43.640 --> 01:14:47.840 How much more time does he have? My guess, yeah. 1349 01:14:47.920 --> 01:14:51.319 That it is. I mean if we if we go 1350 01:14:51.399 --> 01:14:54.640 walking down this road with New England and you're one, 1351 01:14:54.680 --> 01:14:56.840 three and one, you've only scored three goals by the. 1352 01:14:56.760 --> 01:14:59.600 Way, three well, you've only scored two, I think what 1353 01:14:59.760 --> 01:15:01.720 the the opposition helps you out with one of them. 1354 01:15:01.800 --> 01:15:04.119 Yes, so your second leading scorer in New England is 1355 01:15:04.159 --> 01:15:06.840 own goal. Who is hell of an MVP season, by 1356 01:15:06.880 --> 01:15:11.199 the way, I mean og across the board in League soccer. 1357 01:15:11.800 --> 01:15:15.720 Fantastic work in the Golden Boot race. Uh, so you've 1358 01:15:15.760 --> 01:15:20.439 got if you're New England, you go to Cincinnati, you 1359 01:15:20.560 --> 01:15:24.560 come here to Atlanta, then you get NYC at Gillette 1360 01:15:24.600 --> 01:15:27.039 on the nineteenth, and then you go to Charlotte. So 1361 01:15:27.079 --> 01:15:30.760 three of your next four on the road Cincinnati, Atlanta's 1362 01:15:30.840 --> 01:15:33.920 Charlotte and you and you host NYC. That's the month 1363 01:15:33.960 --> 01:15:36.239 of April for you. If you're Caleb Porter. 1364 01:15:38.600 --> 01:15:42.079 And you only have Carlos Heel as your goal scorer. 1365 01:15:41.920 --> 01:15:44.640 Uh huh yeah, and uh I think Campana is still 1366 01:15:44.680 --> 01:15:48.239 out for another solid couple of weeks. So I mean 1367 01:15:48.279 --> 01:15:50.520 basically you pin. I mean, then what the Carlos Heel 1368 01:15:50.560 --> 01:15:52.880 goal was off a set piece? Yeah, so it was 1369 01:15:52.920 --> 01:15:55.000 a chance to leave Carlos Hill by himself, to have 1370 01:15:55.119 --> 01:15:59.439 him you know, imagine what's going on? Ah, I mean 1371 01:15:59.640 --> 01:16:01.520 I would, I would. I would put it in the 1372 01:16:01.520 --> 01:16:05.239 stay of execution category where Caleb Porter is concerned. 1373 01:16:05.600 --> 01:16:07.119 I think his seed is the hottest right now. 1374 01:16:07.279 --> 01:16:12.600 Okay, so then if if he if he is the 1375 01:16:13.479 --> 01:16:17.039 uh if he is the hotter than hot sauce, what's 1376 01:16:17.119 --> 01:16:19.800 the show where they they have the celebrities asking questions, 1377 01:16:20.199 --> 01:16:23.680 ask questions and they eat wings and. 1378 01:16:23.159 --> 01:16:25.199 I don't know, I've never seen this show. 1379 01:16:25.319 --> 01:16:29.119 No, that's it's it's it's like an online thing. It's uh, 1380 01:16:29.159 --> 01:16:32.479 you're you're eating wings and asking and being asked questions. 1381 01:16:33.239 --> 01:16:37.239 Uh, celebrities who ride in cars and drink coffee and wings. 1382 01:16:37.560 --> 01:16:41.960 Yeah, it's something. It's something like that Hot oneans hot ones, 1383 01:16:42.600 --> 01:16:45.920 hot ones, Okay, hot ones Uh. YouTube talk show with 1384 01:16:46.000 --> 01:16:51.159 Shawn Evans and Chris Shawn Berger, and it is basic 1385 01:16:51.199 --> 01:16:55.039 premise involves celebrities being interviewed over a platter of increasingly 1386 01:16:55.079 --> 01:16:56.399 spicy chicken wings. 1387 01:16:57.560 --> 01:17:00.000 So it starts out like not so hot, and then 1388 01:17:00.199 --> 01:17:01.680 like that it gets hotter again. 1389 01:17:01.760 --> 01:17:07.000 Yes, and so two streaming awards. Basically celebrity guests eat 1390 01:17:07.039 --> 01:17:10.039 ten chicken wings or a vegetarian vegan alternative based on 1391 01:17:10.079 --> 01:17:15.000 the guest's preference, each prepared to the progressively hotter hot sauce. 1392 01:17:15.439 --> 01:17:18.359 Evans states the show's taglin at the beginning of each episode, 1393 01:17:18.399 --> 01:17:21.680 the show with hot questions and even hotter wings. The 1394 01:17:21.720 --> 01:17:24.920 first sauce presented it's like free Rocha, which has a 1395 01:17:25.000 --> 01:17:29.520 rating of twenty two hundred Scoville units. Then there was 1396 01:17:29.680 --> 01:17:34.720 one in season twenty two that had a Scovell rating 1397 01:17:34.840 --> 01:17:40.159 of more than two million Scoville. Guests are encouraged to 1398 01:17:40.159 --> 01:17:43.000 put a minuscule extra amount of the last dab of 1399 01:17:43.039 --> 01:17:45.800 the two million scobll on the final wing. It's not required, 1400 01:17:46.319 --> 01:17:48.239 but most guests have to do so, even when already 1401 01:17:48.239 --> 01:17:51.079 struggling with the heat of the previous wings. After each wing, 1402 01:17:51.640 --> 01:17:55.680 Evans usually asked the guest an interview question. Starting with 1403 01:17:55.760 --> 01:17:59.640 softball questions, wings get hotter.

I'm just I'm not wired that way. 1417 01:18:33.680 --> 01:18:36.319 I'm not one to sit there. I want to enjoy 1418 01:18:36.399 --> 01:18:39.720 the food, yeah, And I can't enjoy the food if 1419 01:18:39.760 --> 01:18:42.359 I'm dealing with something that has a two million plus 1420 01:18:42.359 --> 01:18:45.640 Scoville unit. You know, It's like you're sitting there and 1421 01:18:45.640 --> 01:18:47.279 you're trying to figure out if your tongue is still 1422 01:18:47.319 --> 01:18:49.880 attached to your person. You're you're trying to reach for 1423 01:18:49.960 --> 01:18:51.800 liquid to try to sit there, and you're you're not 1424 01:18:51.880 --> 01:18:54.680 even drinking the liquid. You're just submerging your tongue in 1425 01:18:54.760 --> 01:18:58.760 it so your tongue doesn't die and you don't die. 1426 01:18:59.239 --> 01:19:02.760 I look, I am, I am, and you can ask 1427 01:19:02.960 --> 01:19:06.960 Jason or Jarrett or Nick or Maddie or anybody here 1428 01:19:07.000 --> 01:19:11.319 at the network. I am the least flavored individual when 1429 01:19:11.359 --> 01:19:14.279 it comes to food. If the food can't do it 1430 01:19:14.359 --> 01:19:18.880 on its own natural juices and cooking progression, then why 1431 01:19:18.880 --> 01:19:21.159 do I feel like I should add stuff to it 1432 01:19:21.199 --> 01:19:22.000 to make it better? 1433 01:19:22.359 --> 01:19:22.720 Okay? 1434 01:19:24.960 --> 01:19:25.319 Ok fair? 1435 01:19:25.600 --> 01:19:28.000 I'm I mean I'm also seven hundred and twelve years old, 1436 01:19:28.039 --> 01:19:30.239 so that would make sense when it comes to my 1437 01:19:30.279 --> 01:19:32.560 food choices. So what about you? Are you? Are you 1438 01:19:32.600 --> 01:19:33.600 a spicy or you? 1439 01:19:33.640 --> 01:19:33.720 What? 1440 01:19:34.079 --> 01:19:34.279 Yeah? 1441 01:19:34.319 --> 01:19:36.359 No, I guess I would I would go. I think 1442 01:19:36.359 --> 01:19:38.439 if I was out with my boys and we were 1443 01:19:38.479 --> 01:19:42.960 a some wings, I would go a medium, like I 1444 01:19:43.000 --> 01:19:47.039 would go just a step ahead of mild, but not 1445 01:19:47.119 --> 01:19:47.560 beyond that. 1446 01:19:48.000 --> 01:19:51.000 Okay, it's just yeah, I can't. You know, I still 1447 01:19:51.039 --> 01:19:54.079 want to function when I'm eating. I don't want to 1448 01:19:54.119 --> 01:19:57.079 sit there and go. You know, this is so bad, 1449 01:19:57.119 --> 01:19:59.880 the pain, the pain, the pain. I can't. I can't 1450 01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:00.840 can't do that, Like. 1451 01:20:00.800 --> 01:20:02.920 I think usually what you do is like, uh, you 1452 01:20:02.960 --> 01:20:06.319 know my group of friends like, well we'll do uh, 1453 01:20:06.880 --> 01:20:09.520 we'll do whatever, like depending on how many of it, 1454 01:20:09.600 --> 01:20:12.840 like we'll do half medium like and it would you 1455 01:20:12.920 --> 01:20:16.359 like barbecue as the other craft you know. 1456 01:20:16.560 --> 01:20:20.039 Okay, Uh, this upcoming week, a couple of this seems 1457 01:20:20.079 --> 01:20:23.560 like it's uh the top of the table and the 1458 01:20:23.880 --> 01:20:28.239 bottom of the table. You've got uh RSL and L 1459 01:20:28.319 --> 01:20:31.079 A G. You've got Crew in Montreal, Cincinnati and the 1460 01:20:31.119 --> 01:20:33.880 Revs Red Bulls in Chicago. Fire. We haven't even talked 1461 01:20:33.920 --> 01:20:37.159 about Burholter yet this year, Yeah, and what he's and 1462 01:20:37.199 --> 01:20:40.920 what he's doing with Chicago and you know, hey, Hugo 1463 01:20:41.039 --> 01:20:44.960 Kuipers has found apparently Hugo Kuiper's and so uh so 1464 01:20:45.199 --> 01:20:48.079 Chicago out of the blocks and Burrholter. Did you expect 1465 01:20:48.159 --> 01:20:49.960 that it was going to be like this for for 1466 01:20:50.159 --> 01:20:51.680 Chicago and Burholter so far? 1467 01:20:52.520 --> 01:20:58.000 Yeah, I mean, I I i'mmagine I wasn't sure, you know, 1468 01:20:58.039 --> 01:21:01.760 like I I I thought he could potentially have success. 1469 01:21:01.800 --> 01:21:02.680 But if that's just. 1470 01:21:04.119 --> 01:21:07.600 It feels like one of those locations that you know, 1471 01:21:07.640 --> 01:21:13.720 you're every year you're like, you know, what if Chicago 1472 01:21:14.159 --> 01:21:14.520 was good? 1473 01:21:15.000 --> 01:21:17.560 You know, like what if Chicago was good? 1474 01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:21.840 You know, like and I feel like the league is 1475 01:21:21.880 --> 01:21:23.760 better when it is like it's such a great market. 1476 01:21:23.800 --> 01:21:26.600 It's one of the the Raiders or the Yankees. Like 1477 01:21:26.680 --> 01:21:28.880 when the when the Oakland is good, or when the 1478 01:21:28.960 --> 01:21:31.079 Yankees are good, or when the when the Yankees and 1479 01:21:31.119 --> 01:21:33.920 the Dodgers and the Cubs are good, then the league 1480 01:21:34.000 --> 01:21:34.680 is a better place. 1481 01:21:34.760 --> 01:21:39.039 Yeah, I think so, you know, and and you know, 1482 01:21:39.079 --> 01:21:43.840 I mean they it feels like every couple of years 1483 01:21:43.840 --> 01:21:47.800 like they're like, well this is uh Chicago fire, like 1484 01:21:47.840 --> 01:21:50.720 you know, we we they made the big announcement about 1485 01:21:51.319 --> 01:21:53.880 moving to Soldier Field again like all right, great, you 1486 01:21:53.920 --> 01:21:57.359 know it's a great move. Move downtown and now we 1487 01:21:57.600 --> 01:21:59.800 have a new crust like okay, great, how about the 1488 01:21:59.800 --> 01:22:04.039 saw Like we're gonna a little bit here and he's 1489 01:22:04.119 --> 01:22:07.239 kind of missing yeah uh. And they have dressed they 1490 01:22:07.239 --> 01:22:11.479 have they have addressed that this year, you know, and 1491 01:22:11.520 --> 01:22:17.159 the and the early the early uh, early preeople, here 1492 01:22:17.239 --> 01:22:18.920 is a good one from from Baltar. 1493 01:22:19.039 --> 01:22:22.199 So the early precinct reporting right now, they're they're two 1494 01:22:22.239 --> 01:22:24.319 points out of first and yeah, which is with a 1495 01:22:24.319 --> 01:22:27.680 match in hand. So uh, you know, so we'll continue 1496 01:22:27.680 --> 01:22:29.560 to see that. And they're one of the highest scoring 1497 01:22:29.560 --> 01:22:31.039 teams in the Eastern Conference so far. 1498 01:22:31.560 --> 01:22:35.239 U huh, playing like their pants are on fire. 1499 01:22:35.279 --> 01:22:35.680 I love it. 1500 01:22:35.800 --> 01:22:38.000 Well, it is a contract year for around like they 1501 01:22:38.119 --> 01:22:41.760 had a lot of hot wings. Yes, I mean it's 1502 01:22:41.800 --> 01:22:45.479 another contract year for Luis Moozy and for Oscar Pereja, 1503 01:22:45.600 --> 01:22:49.319 so you know that. I think that that's another question 1504 01:22:49.399 --> 01:22:52.399 as we go into the off season with the Purple team. 1505 01:22:53.119 --> 01:22:56.039 Do you feel like you've hit your ceiling with this 1506 01:22:56.079 --> 01:22:59.560 front office coat and head coach combination. Do you think 1507 01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:01.319 you can do better or do you think you need 1508 01:23:01.319 --> 01:23:05.079 to do different? That to me, what you and and 1509 01:23:05.199 --> 01:23:07.840 you know you're gonna have some You're gonna have to 1510 01:23:07.880 --> 01:23:09.880 have some turnover. I would think that you're gonna have 1511 01:23:09.920 --> 01:23:13.439 to look at keeper because Gallesse is not getting any 1512 01:23:13.479 --> 01:23:17.319 younger and you've given up. You know, we mentioned them 1513 01:23:17.359 --> 01:23:22.039 having the best offense in the U in the Eastern Conference. 1514 01:23:22.760 --> 01:23:25.439 They're tied for the worst defense in the Eastern Conference 1515 01:23:25.479 --> 01:23:28.560 with Toronto. That's just. 1516 01:23:30.239 --> 01:23:33.680 Yes, but that means they're fun to watch, not denying 1517 01:23:33.720 --> 01:23:35.640 that you're a neutral at least, right. 1518 01:23:35.520 --> 01:23:38.600 Yes, So I mean right now you're the worst in 1519 01:23:38.640 --> 01:23:40.960 goal difference, you're you're seventh if you're the purple team. 1520 01:23:40.960 --> 01:23:43.720 But still, I mean, that's uh stuff to keep an 1521 01:23:43.720 --> 01:23:45.720 eye on as we go.

First and foremost, for those that may 1587 01:26:55.880 --> 01:26:59.119 not know, you're a hometown guy, getting to call for 1588 01:26:59.199 --> 01:27:02.199 your hometown team. What's that like for you to be 1589 01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:03.239 a part of things now? 1590 01:27:03.920 --> 01:27:07.680 Yeah, it's literally a dream come true. I started broadcasting, 1591 01:27:08.239 --> 01:27:10.279 you know, seven years ago now in college. I went 1592 01:27:10.319 --> 01:27:13.439 down to college at Trendy University. But I'm originally from Dallas, 1593 01:27:13.479 --> 01:27:16.039 grew up going to games, grew up listening to Mark 1594 01:27:16.079 --> 01:27:19.039 Followill Steve Davis who's now my partner on the broadcast 1595 01:27:19.079 --> 01:27:23.399 every week, so you know, when I started broadcasting, obviously, 1596 01:27:23.880 --> 01:27:26.399 you know, calling MLS games is a huge goal, and 1597 01:27:26.600 --> 01:27:28.720 to be able to accomplish that with my hometown team 1598 01:27:28.720 --> 01:27:30.880 has been has been a dream come true. And and 1599 01:27:30.920 --> 01:27:32.760 to do shows like this and be part of, you know, 1600 01:27:32.920 --> 01:27:35.520 the outreach for the club as well as the voice 1601 01:27:35.600 --> 01:27:38.560 of the team is amazing. So just really enjoying it 1602 01:27:38.600 --> 01:27:41.039 so far. It's been a lot of fun, kind of 1603 01:27:41.079 --> 01:27:43.199 being a part of the new energy I was with 1604 01:27:43.239 --> 01:27:45.399 the team before in a different capacity, and I still 1605 01:27:45.399 --> 01:27:48.439 do some social media stuff as well, but you know, 1606 01:27:48.880 --> 01:27:50.560 coming in and sort of being the voice of this 1607 01:27:50.600 --> 01:27:52.640 new era with Eric quill Is is a lot of fun. 1608 01:27:53.239 --> 01:27:56.119 What's your first FC Dallas memory. 1609 01:27:59.079 --> 01:28:04.560 I would say opening Day against Philadelphia Union. It was 1610 01:28:04.600 --> 01:28:07.920 somewhere in the Oscar Pere hot era, so twenty twelve 1611 01:28:08.319 --> 01:28:12.159 to twenty sixteen, somewhere in there. Came to Opening Day 1612 01:28:12.319 --> 01:28:16.039 with my family. They the team scored, and they ran 1613 01:28:16.079 --> 01:28:18.159 to the corner and celebrated in a row boat where 1614 01:28:18.159 --> 01:28:19.960 they all sat one in front of each one in 1615 01:28:20.000 --> 01:28:22.439 front of each other, rowing the boat, which I just 1616 01:28:22.640 --> 01:28:25.319 that's always stuck with me growing up, going to games 1617 01:28:25.319 --> 01:28:27.560 with friends, watching Kenny Cooper, who's now a good friend 1618 01:28:27.600 --> 01:28:29.239 and a member of the front office, is one of 1619 01:28:29.239 --> 01:28:33.159 our ambassadors score, you know, ripped the shirt off, swinging around, 1620 01:28:33.279 --> 01:28:36.000 all those things. Those are some of the earliest memories 1621 01:28:36.000 --> 01:28:38.399 for sure. Come to Toyota Stadium back when it's Pizza 1622 01:28:38.439 --> 01:28:38.880 Hull Park. 1623 01:28:39.159 --> 01:28:41.119 So are you rowing the boat in the booth when 1624 01:28:41.399 --> 01:28:43.239 Lucho scores? Is that what you're doing? Now? 1625 01:28:43.680 --> 01:28:45.560 Yeah, I think we're gonna have to get coordinated goal 1626 01:28:45.600 --> 01:28:47.640 celebrations in the booth. I know, you guys do a 1627 01:28:47.680 --> 01:28:50.760 great job over at Atlanta United with the Booth camp, 1628 01:28:50.840 --> 01:28:52.760 which I think is something we might implement down the road. 1629 01:28:52.760 --> 01:28:54.319 And if we do, you know, we got we gotta 1630 01:28:54.319 --> 01:28:56.319 go viral, we gotta we got to bring the attention. So, 1631 01:28:56.680 --> 01:28:59.680 you know, goal celebrations, coordinated goal celebrations with our with 1632 01:28:59.720 --> 01:29:01.840 our or Man booth. We'll get creative with it. 1633 01:29:02.239 --> 01:29:04.720 Looking forward to that, let me ask you what's it 1634 01:29:04.760 --> 01:29:09.079 been like to see the first first couple of matches 1635 01:29:09.119 --> 01:29:11.960 under the Eric Quill administration. What kind of energy has 1636 01:29:12.000 --> 01:29:13.920 he brought in and how is it How is it 1637 01:29:13.960 --> 01:29:15.000 different with Quill now? 1638 01:29:15.800 --> 01:29:17.520 Yeah, so I think I have a little bit of 1639 01:29:17.520 --> 01:29:19.520 a unique perspective because I got to travel with the 1640 01:29:19.560 --> 01:29:23.640 team to Portugal for preseason and that was the first 1641 01:29:23.720 --> 01:29:25.600 you know, they had a week before that, and but 1642 01:29:25.640 --> 01:29:27.800 that was the first real sort of getting into the 1643 01:29:27.840 --> 01:29:30.640 meat and bones of it with Eric Quill. The tactical ideas, 1644 01:29:31.159 --> 01:29:33.319 the amount of running and the amount of fitness that 1645 01:29:33.359 --> 01:29:35.199 they were doing, which was more than I'd ever seen 1646 01:29:35.680 --> 01:29:40.680 previously with Niko Stevez, RPD Husain, so the intensity. But 1647 01:29:40.760 --> 01:29:43.000 also you know, I think Eric does a really good 1648 01:29:43.039 --> 01:29:45.680 job of focusing on what's important and not getting distracted 1649 01:29:45.680 --> 01:29:48.279 by you know, small things. He knows how to bring 1650 01:29:48.319 --> 01:29:50.399 the group together. He knows how to inspire the team. 1651 01:29:51.159 --> 01:29:55.039 He really values hard work from the whole dogs thing 1652 01:29:55.039 --> 01:29:57.560 that I mentioned when I first came on. He wants 1653 01:29:57.600 --> 01:29:59.680 the team to be eleven dogs and fight for the 1654 01:29:59.720 --> 01:30:02.800 bad and fight for the fans. And bringing that mentality 1655 01:30:02.840 --> 01:30:06.039 has sort of alongside bringing a whole host of new players, 1656 01:30:06.039 --> 01:30:08.840 has definitely made for it completely changed FCY Dallas team 1657 01:30:08.840 --> 01:30:10.760 this year and in the past when we went on 1658 01:30:10.800 --> 01:30:12.680 the road, it was like, you know, if we could 1659 01:30:12.680 --> 01:30:14.640 grab a draw, that'd be great. For the past couple 1660 01:30:14.640 --> 01:30:17.520 of seasons. Last year we had one road win, and 1661 01:30:17.680 --> 01:30:20.159 this year it's already so different. We have seven points 1662 01:30:20.199 --> 01:30:22.159 on the road from three games, and now we go 1663 01:30:22.199 --> 01:30:24.560 into these road games with the real, you know mentality 1664 01:30:24.560 --> 01:30:26.239 that we could go and get a win at any 1665 01:30:26.279 --> 01:30:28.640 point at any venue. And that's what I think makes 1666 01:30:28.680 --> 01:30:30.079 for an exciting matchup this weekend. 1667 01:30:30.600 --> 01:30:33.640 New faces coming in obviously we'll talk about Luco in 1668 01:30:33.680 --> 01:30:36.560 a sec. But you've got the integration with folks like 1669 01:30:36.600 --> 01:30:40.479 Leo Chu and Luco Acosta with Pedro Musa, where is 1670 01:30:40.560 --> 01:30:43.720 that Where is that integration, Where where is that coming 1671 01:30:43.760 --> 01:30:47.199 together and the melding of ideas with the new faces. 1672 01:30:47.199 --> 01:30:48.520 Where do you think that is right now? 1673 01:30:49.039 --> 01:30:52.800 I still think it's early. First of all, we came 1674 01:30:52.840 --> 01:30:54.840 into things with the idea of playing in a four 1675 01:30:54.840 --> 01:30:57.640 to two three one, defending in a four to four two, 1676 01:30:58.239 --> 01:31:01.760 and then we signed Luco Acosta, and you know, ideally 1677 01:31:01.800 --> 01:31:03.920 you think he fits right into that number ten position, 1678 01:31:03.960 --> 01:31:05.600 but I think we saw in the first couple of 1679 01:31:05.600 --> 01:31:09.920 weeks that defensively it wasn't working and they weren't finding 1680 01:31:10.000 --> 01:31:12.039 Lucco in the spots that we needed to find him, 1681 01:31:12.039 --> 01:31:13.880 that he was having to pop out wide or drop 1682 01:31:13.960 --> 01:31:16.560 deep to receive the ball. So the last couple of 1683 01:31:16.600 --> 01:31:19.359 weeks the team changed to having an extra midfielder in there, 1684 01:31:19.439 --> 01:31:21.600 sort of a diamond. The team calls it a four 1685 01:31:21.640 --> 01:31:24.039 to three to one two, but basically having at number 1686 01:31:24.079 --> 01:31:26.000 six whose job is just to win the ball back, 1687 01:31:26.039 --> 01:31:28.960 that's Ramiro, and then having two number eights there to 1688 01:31:29.000 --> 01:31:31.840 support Luco has really allowed him to get into more 1689 01:31:31.920 --> 01:31:35.520 dangerous positions. And you know, he has been instrumental in 1690 01:31:35.560 --> 01:31:37.640 the last in this little two game win streak here 1691 01:31:37.680 --> 01:31:40.600 at RSL and then home against Kansas City, and he's 1692 01:31:40.600 --> 01:31:43.239 popping up in areas where he can actually hurt the opposition, 1693 01:31:43.520 --> 01:31:45.960 you know, combining with Musa really well. I think the 1694 01:31:46.079 --> 01:31:49.600 Musa Luco combination has gone, you know, swimmingly. I think 1695 01:31:49.600 --> 01:31:52.560 it's gone much quicker than I expected those two players 1696 01:31:52.560 --> 01:31:54.920 to tell. It's been who's going to be the number, 1697 01:31:55.199 --> 01:31:57.600 the third guy, kind of the second forward in the formation. 1698 01:31:57.680 --> 01:32:00.479 That's what we're trying to figure out. Anderson Julio has 1699 01:32:00.479 --> 01:32:02.560 been amazing since he came over, but he's missed the 1700 01:32:02.600 --> 01:32:04.680 last three weeks. He had to go get his green card, 1701 01:32:04.960 --> 01:32:07.119 so we actually haven't seen him in this new formation. 1702 01:32:07.239 --> 01:32:09.880 I expect that he's probably gonna be the starter, but 1703 01:32:09.920 --> 01:32:12.079 we haven't seen that yet, and so that chemistry is 1704 01:32:12.079 --> 01:32:13.479 going to have to come as well. He'd been playing 1705 01:32:13.520 --> 01:32:15.960 on the left wing for majority of preseason in the 1706 01:32:15.960 --> 01:32:18.479 first couple of weeks as well, so I think that's 1707 01:32:18.520 --> 01:32:20.920 the ideal front three. Leo Chio's got the last two starts, 1708 01:32:21.000 --> 01:32:24.079 Logan Farrington's an option as well. Padrinho has a goal 1709 01:32:24.279 --> 01:32:26.399 on the season, so there's options. But I think it's 1710 01:32:26.439 --> 01:32:28.239 going to be Julio and that's going to be, you know, 1711 01:32:28.319 --> 01:32:30.600 something they're gonna have to build as he's back this week. 1712 01:32:30.640 --> 01:32:34.039 He's back in full training and hopefully and involved against Atlanta. 1713 01:32:33.640 --> 01:32:36.399 For Lucho so far eight shots four on target and 1714 01:32:36.439 --> 01:32:38.279 those four on target, three of them have gone to 1715 01:32:38.319 --> 01:32:40.479 the back of the net. With the next g if 1716 01:32:40.479 --> 01:32:42.199 you believe in those kinds of things, that just over 1717 01:32:42.239 --> 01:32:44.880 two at two point oh six. So you mentioned that 1718 01:32:45.159 --> 01:32:48.199 front all things being equal in a perfect world for 1719 01:32:48.399 --> 01:32:51.399 eric Quill, how do you envision the starting eleven in 1720 01:32:51.479 --> 01:32:54.039 this matchup coming up against Atlanta night. 1721 01:32:54.399 --> 01:32:56.920 Yeah, I think the front three. If Julio is fit 1722 01:32:57.000 --> 01:32:59.239 and ready to go, I think he'll come into play 1723 01:32:59.239 --> 01:33:02.800 alongside Usa in the two striker formation, and then Lucho 1724 01:33:02.920 --> 01:33:05.840 behind them the midfield. I don't expect a ton of change. 1725 01:33:05.840 --> 01:33:09.119 I think Patrickson leget As the two number eights will 1726 01:33:09.119 --> 01:33:11.680 probably hold their position and Ramiro has been really solid 1727 01:33:11.960 --> 01:33:14.119 coming over from Brazil in the offseason. Is one of 1728 01:33:14.640 --> 01:33:18.920 eighteen new players I think in total. Back four, we've 1729 01:33:19.159 --> 01:33:21.800 had one change recently, Marco Farfan. We had to announce 1730 01:33:21.840 --> 01:33:23.880 this week he's going to have surgery, so he's been 1731 01:33:23.920 --> 01:33:27.760 the starting left back homegrow Nolan Norris is involved now 1732 01:33:27.800 --> 01:33:31.239 he's played you know, left back for the youth national teams. 1733 01:33:31.239 --> 01:33:33.680 He's the captain of the you twenties, so he this 1734 01:33:33.720 --> 01:33:35.760 is his first real opportunity at the MLS level to 1735 01:33:35.760 --> 01:33:37.560 play that position and sort of make it his own 1736 01:33:37.600 --> 01:33:40.560 over the next month to six weeks. So that'll be 1737 01:33:40.600 --> 01:33:42.560 one to watch at left back. And obviously you guys 1738 01:33:42.600 --> 01:33:45.239 have some pretty lethal options in the attack, so he's 1739 01:33:45.239 --> 01:33:47.479 gonna get a tough matchup, whether it's you know, up 1740 01:33:47.479 --> 01:33:50.039 against Almi Roan. I love Janite whoever it is on 1741 01:33:50.079 --> 01:33:52.720 the right for Atlanta, but I think the one player 1742 01:33:52.800 --> 01:33:54.239 that I want to you know, sort of spread the 1743 01:33:54.239 --> 01:33:56.239 gospel about when I go on shows like this is 1744 01:33:56.479 --> 01:33:59.199 Assasier Roghide, our new center back who came over from 1745 01:33:59.239 --> 01:34:03.760 the French Second. He's He's just phenomenal. This guy. He 1746 01:34:03.800 --> 01:34:06.119 has all the tools to become a top level center 1747 01:34:06.119 --> 01:34:08.680 back if he isn't already in Major League Soccer. He's 1748 01:34:08.680 --> 01:34:12.479 got the physicality, the recovery speed, he's got line breaking passing, 1749 01:34:12.560 --> 01:34:15.119 he's got the smarts to think through the game as well. 1750 01:34:15.279 --> 01:34:18.560 He's been such a fantastic addition for us, and thinking 1751 01:34:18.600 --> 01:34:21.560 back to when Dallas played Atlanta in preseason. He was 1752 01:34:21.600 --> 01:34:24.640 not there yet neither and Musa wasn't there. There's some 1753 01:34:24.680 --> 01:34:27.279 other pieces that weren't there in that game, but particularly 1754 01:34:27.319 --> 01:34:29.399 when Latte Lot came off the bench in that game 1755 01:34:29.520 --> 01:34:31.319 and I was like, oh my god, this guy's pace 1756 01:34:31.439 --> 01:34:34.079 is phenomenal. This is going to be a problem when 1757 01:34:34.119 --> 01:34:35.960 we see him in just a couple of months. But 1758 01:34:36.079 --> 01:34:38.840 I think Osase has that speed as well. I think 1759 01:34:38.880 --> 01:34:40.600 if we get a foot race between those two, it's 1760 01:34:40.600 --> 01:34:42.680 going to be Olympic standard, Like we're gonna need to 1761 01:34:42.680 --> 01:34:44.399 hand out a gold medal between the two of those 1762 01:34:44.800 --> 01:34:47.560 after the game, because that's the level of athlete that 1763 01:34:47.600 --> 01:34:49.880 he is. And I know you guys have taken to 1764 01:34:50.079 --> 01:34:52.640 Latte a Lot very well, and he's taken to the 1765 01:34:52.640 --> 01:34:54.439 team very well. So I think that's going to be 1766 01:34:54.439 --> 01:34:57.279 a matchup to watch. Besides that, I think not a 1767 01:34:57.319 --> 01:34:59.560 ton of changes beside Tulio coming into the lineup in 1768 01:34:59.640 --> 01:35:02.560 Norris continuing sort of deputizing a left back. 1769 01:35:03.399 --> 01:35:08.520 How do you think formationally or philosophically, Norris will get 1770 01:35:08.560 --> 01:35:12.840 protected Considering that you're already anticipating and if he's at 1771 01:35:12.880 --> 01:35:15.399 left back, you know that down the right hand side 1772 01:35:15.399 --> 01:35:18.520 it's going to be Brooks, it's going to be Saba, 1773 01:35:18.680 --> 01:35:22.520 it's going to be Switches. How do you anticipate he's 1774 01:35:22.560 --> 01:35:24.800 going to be protected or is there a level of 1775 01:35:24.880 --> 01:35:27.720 confidence there that he can be left on an island 1776 01:35:27.840 --> 01:35:30.760 for a while and he can navigate things one B 1777 01:35:30.880 --> 01:35:31.479 one Okay. 1778 01:35:32.159 --> 01:35:34.279 I think he's a very smart player. I think his 1779 01:35:34.479 --> 01:35:36.840 biggest weakness and the reason that he hasn't got this 1780 01:35:36.880 --> 01:35:40.920 opportunity yet in the past couple of years is his pace, 1781 01:35:41.079 --> 01:35:43.039 and so that is a concern up against Atlanta, who 1782 01:35:43.079 --> 01:35:45.039 is a running team. I think you guys are in 1783 01:35:45.039 --> 01:35:47.640 the top three and pretty much every running metric and 1784 01:35:47.720 --> 01:35:49.720 obviously have a ton of pace. So I think the 1785 01:35:49.800 --> 01:35:51.560 cover is going to have to come from sort of 1786 01:35:51.600 --> 01:35:54.560 the left number eighth, the left center mid, which is Patrickson. 1787 01:35:55.199 --> 01:35:57.920 He's a young Ecuadorian player who is really good box 1788 01:35:58.000 --> 01:36:02.079 to box, gets involved defensively as well as going forward, 1789 01:36:02.319 --> 01:36:04.960 So he's going to have to cover him from, whether 1790 01:36:05.000 --> 01:36:08.680 it's Lenen on the overlap, whoever it is. And then 1791 01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:11.880 Ossase Arguide, who already mentioned was excellent and just helping 1792 01:36:11.920 --> 01:36:14.560 Dolling through that first start against Kansas City and helping 1793 01:36:14.600 --> 01:36:16.159 put out fires on that side, So I think he 1794 01:36:16.199 --> 01:36:18.399 has a good support network around it, but he's there's 1795 01:36:18.439 --> 01:36:20.000 going to be moments in the game where he's going 1796 01:36:20.039 --> 01:36:21.800 to have to stand up one B one and be counted, 1797 01:36:21.840 --> 01:36:23.520 and you know, we have a lot of faith in them, 1798 01:36:23.560 --> 01:36:25.840 and it's on to him to repay that faith. 1799 01:36:26.359 --> 01:36:30.039 Right now, as things stand in the West, six matches in, 1800 01:36:30.239 --> 01:36:33.680 three wins to the good goals and goals goals allowed 1801 01:36:33.720 --> 01:36:36.479 dead even at nine and nine. So smack dab mid 1802 01:36:37.039 --> 01:36:39.760 middle of activity right now, three points obviously out of 1803 01:36:39.800 --> 01:36:43.399 first with early returns. How would you grade what you've 1804 01:36:43.439 --> 01:36:47.279 seen so far from the booth six matches in which 1805 01:36:47.319 --> 01:36:50.359 is what six over thirty four? It's maybe twenty percent 1806 01:36:50.479 --> 01:36:52.720 or something like that. At the twenty percent mark, where 1807 01:36:52.720 --> 01:36:56.000 would you see? How would you grade FC Dallas so 1808 01:36:56.079 --> 01:36:58.159 far with all of these new faces and a new 1809 01:36:58.159 --> 01:36:59.800 head coach, How would you grade what you've seen? 1810 01:37:00.199 --> 01:37:02.039 Yeah, I think other teams around the league that have 1811 01:37:02.079 --> 01:37:05.680 had this, you know, this amount of change are struggling, 1812 01:37:05.800 --> 01:37:07.800 and I think it's understandable to struggle with that amount 1813 01:37:07.800 --> 01:37:09.720 of change. But we brought in a ton of quality. 1814 01:37:10.039 --> 01:37:14.199 Liuto Costa obviously paramount in that discussion, So I think 1815 01:37:14.319 --> 01:37:16.840 I would give it, you know, a high B because 1816 01:37:16.840 --> 01:37:19.800 I think the results have been really solid, and particularly 1817 01:37:19.840 --> 01:37:22.079 the road results those home The first two home games 1818 01:37:22.079 --> 01:37:25.399 were disappointing, but I think the performances and the tactical 1819 01:37:25.439 --> 01:37:28.760 ideas and the game model have a ton of room 1820 01:37:28.840 --> 01:37:31.199 to grow. And that is what excites me because in 1821 01:37:31.239 --> 01:37:33.279 the past, when Dallas wasn't up for a game, they 1822 01:37:33.319 --> 01:37:35.520 just weren't going to get a result. And this version 1823 01:37:35.520 --> 01:37:38.279 of FC Dallas under Eric Quill, with almost an entirely 1824 01:37:38.319 --> 01:37:40.800 new lineup, is going to fight for a result even 1825 01:37:40.840 --> 01:37:42.800 when they're not at their best, and even when the 1826 01:37:42.840 --> 01:37:45.880 tactical matchup feels like it's going against them, They've been 1827 01:37:45.920 --> 01:37:48.000 able to claw back from behind. They've won the most 1828 01:37:48.000 --> 01:37:50.439 points from losing positions of anyone in Major League Soccer 1829 01:37:50.479 --> 01:37:52.560 in the opening six weeks, which I think is a 1830 01:37:52.600 --> 01:37:54.880 testament to the mentality. And now if we can see 1831 01:37:54.880 --> 01:37:56.720 the growth on the tactical side, then that's just going 1832 01:37:56.720 --> 01:37:58.199 to bring the quality to the forefront. 1833 01:37:58.560 --> 01:38:02.159 What was the level of xpect for the supporters coming 1834 01:38:02.199 --> 01:38:05.119 into this year, knowing that there was a coaching change, 1835 01:38:05.199 --> 01:38:08.439 knowing the frustrations from last year, what was the I 1836 01:38:08.439 --> 01:38:11.239 guess the level of expectation and the level of patients 1837 01:38:11.239 --> 01:38:13.119 from the fans coming into twenty twenty five. 1838 01:38:13.600 --> 01:38:15.520 It's such a hard one, right because of just the 1839 01:38:15.600 --> 01:38:18.800 sheer amount of change, and you know, the stadium looks 1840 01:38:18.840 --> 01:38:21.119 different this year. We're going through renovation, so there's a 1841 01:38:21.119 --> 01:38:23.560 little bit of a weird cloud over things in that way. 1842 01:38:23.600 --> 01:38:26.319 But I think to his credit, from day one, eric 1843 01:38:26.399 --> 01:38:28.039 Quile came in and said, we want to be fighting 1844 01:38:28.039 --> 01:38:29.319 at the top of the table, we want to be 1845 01:38:29.359 --> 01:38:32.279 fighting for championships, and he wasn't afraid to put his 1846 01:38:32.359 --> 01:38:35.640 name alongside those statements. And that's for a club that's 1847 01:38:35.680 --> 01:38:39.439 never won MLS Cup, and that's his paramount goal is 1848 01:38:39.439 --> 01:38:41.720 to bring the first MLS Cup to Dallas. And not 1849 01:38:42.199 --> 01:38:44.960 to say that the fan expectation immediately rose to that level, 1850 01:38:45.000 --> 01:38:46.720 but I think they sort of stood up and said, okay, 1851 01:38:47.119 --> 01:38:49.600 now let's see it. In the first couple of home games, 1852 01:38:49.600 --> 01:38:52.159 it was disappointing. But now against Kansas City, you get 1853 01:38:52.159 --> 01:38:53.880 the home form right, and you've shown that you can 1854 01:38:53.920 --> 01:38:56.840 win on the road. So I think expectations are steadily climbing. 1855 01:38:56.840 --> 01:38:59.479 And obviously when you bring into Lucho Acosta, you're expected 1856 01:38:59.520 --> 01:39:01.439 to fight in the playoff positions at the bare minimum, 1857 01:39:01.479 --> 01:39:02.800 and he's going to help you get there, and he 1858 01:39:02.840 --> 01:39:05.359 already has. I think he's won six seven points all 1859 01:39:05.399 --> 01:39:07.119 on his own with his goals so far this season, 1860 01:39:07.159 --> 01:39:09.439 so I think that'll continue over the course of the year. 1861 01:39:09.720 --> 01:39:15.239 How would you break down how Eric is stylistically and 1862 01:39:15.239 --> 01:39:18.199 philosophically as a coach for someone who hasn't seen him 1863 01:39:18.520 --> 01:39:20.600 on the touch line, for someone who hasn't seen him 1864 01:39:20.640 --> 01:39:22.880 at practice, how would you break down the kind of 1865 01:39:23.000 --> 01:39:27.239 coach that Eric is both emotionally and tactically when it 1866 01:39:27.239 --> 01:39:29.319 comes to how he wants to have things out there 1867 01:39:29.319 --> 01:39:29.680 on the pitch. 1868 01:39:30.239 --> 01:39:32.119 Well, first and foremost, you're going to notice the bright 1869 01:39:32.159 --> 01:39:34.439 red hat that he rocks on the touch line. That's, 1870 01:39:35.239 --> 01:39:37.479 you know, that's become his trademark. He tried the white 1871 01:39:37.479 --> 01:39:39.479 hat against Vancouver and we lost, and I don't think 1872 01:39:39.479 --> 01:39:41.199 we're going to see the white hat again. So the 1873 01:39:41.239 --> 01:39:44.199 red hat has been a trademark of his reign so far. 1874 01:39:44.319 --> 01:39:46.920 But no, I think on a more serious note, he's 1875 01:39:46.920 --> 01:39:49.600 a player, he's a player's coach, but he's also a 1876 01:39:49.640 --> 01:39:52.520 really strong motivator in that he knows how to get 1877 01:39:52.560 --> 01:39:54.880 the best out of guys. He really values work on 1878 01:39:54.920 --> 01:39:57.079 the training ground. He's going to give opportunities to people 1879 01:39:57.079 --> 01:39:59.600 who train well, and he's going to take opportunities away 1880 01:39:59.600 --> 01:40:01.760 from people who you know don't put in one hundred 1881 01:40:01.760 --> 01:40:03.800 percent on the training ground. So I think he really 1882 01:40:03.920 --> 01:40:06.079 values hard work. And that's what we've seen, you know, 1883 01:40:06.159 --> 01:40:08.960 so far through the opening six weeks. Is anytime that 1884 01:40:09.039 --> 01:40:11.359 someone's done well in training, they're going to get that opportunity, 1885 01:40:11.359 --> 01:40:13.439 whether it's from the start or off the bench. And 1886 01:40:14.000 --> 01:40:17.399 I think it's become even more of a meritocracy where 1887 01:40:17.399 --> 01:40:19.880 players don't have they can't feel comfortable, you know, they 1888 01:40:19.880 --> 01:40:21.520 they don't feel like their name is written in pen 1889 01:40:21.600 --> 01:40:24.520 unless you're maybe Moussa Lucho Acosta. But those guys are 1890 01:40:24.800 --> 01:40:27.279 Those guys are top professionals and they train well every day. 1891 01:40:27.279 --> 01:40:27.840 And that's you know. 1892 01:40:27.960 --> 01:40:30.800 Eric Quiles told us that he's fiery on the touch line. 1893 01:40:30.800 --> 01:40:32.960 He's gonna let the other coach have it even more 1894 01:40:33.039 --> 01:40:35.720 so than the referee, which I think you know is 1895 01:40:35.760 --> 01:40:38.319 more common with last game, he's up against one of 1896 01:40:38.319 --> 01:40:40.439 his good friends and Peter Vermiz, somebody who's played with 1897 01:40:40.479 --> 01:40:43.159 in his playing career. Going back to the Kansas City 1898 01:40:43.159 --> 01:40:45.199 Wizards and they're getting into it on the sideline. He 1899 01:40:45.239 --> 01:40:48.119 got into it on the sideline with US Restaurants and 1900 01:40:48.119 --> 01:40:50.399 for Vancouver as well. So An he's you know, he's 1901 01:40:50.479 --> 01:40:52.279 he's a fiery character. And I think that's what this 1902 01:40:52.359 --> 01:40:54.960 team needed, was somebody who's going to lead the team emotionally, 1903 01:40:55.000 --> 01:40:57.960 with energy and and sort of get them going from 1904 01:40:57.960 --> 01:40:59.800 the sideline. And that's been fun to see. 1905 01:41:00.279 --> 01:41:02.560 So for someone who is going to be looking at 1906 01:41:02.600 --> 01:41:06.079 FC Dallas for the first time this year, at Mercedes Benz, 1907 01:41:06.119 --> 01:41:09.359 whether it's listening to you on the call, listening or 1908 01:41:09.399 --> 01:41:13.119 watching on Apple or in person, Mercedes Benz, you're drawn 1909 01:41:13.159 --> 01:41:15.600 to the big names. You're drawn to the Peter Mooses, 1910 01:41:15.600 --> 01:41:18.840 You're drawn to the Lucco Acostas. For things to go 1911 01:41:19.039 --> 01:41:22.359 well for FC Dallas, give me one of those second 1912 01:41:22.479 --> 01:41:25.119 level guys. Give me a foot soldier instead of a 1913 01:41:25.199 --> 01:41:28.479 star at the front. Who in the foot soldiers has 1914 01:41:28.560 --> 01:41:30.880 to do well? And it might even be somebody that 1915 01:41:30.960 --> 01:41:33.399 you call in off the bench, you know, late, if 1916 01:41:33.439 --> 01:41:36.439 you need that, you need to who would you gravitate toward. 1917 01:41:36.479 --> 01:41:38.600 That would be those second level dudes. To see the 1918 01:41:38.640 --> 01:41:40.000 successes for FCD. 1919 01:41:40.760 --> 01:41:43.000 Yeah, I think the midfield battle in this one is 1920 01:41:43.039 --> 01:41:45.079 going to be really interesting because I know, you know, 1921 01:41:45.119 --> 01:41:48.479 there's been some conversation with Atlanta about the best position 1922 01:41:48.520 --> 01:41:52.760 from Miranchuk, the best combination in midfield. I think for Dallas, Ramiro, 1923 01:41:53.119 --> 01:41:57.199 our new number six, Brazilian, very experienced in Brazil's top 1924 01:41:57.239 --> 01:42:01.439 flight one Copa lebdadoris with Grimy in the past, he 1925 01:42:01.520 --> 01:42:04.800 has come to the team and just given us that rock, 1926 01:42:04.840 --> 01:42:07.079 that anchor at the base of midfield. And when we 1927 01:42:07.079 --> 01:42:08.880 were playing in sort of a double pivot before, it 1928 01:42:08.880 --> 01:42:11.039 didn't suit his game as much, just because he's not 1929 01:42:11.159 --> 01:42:14.840 a huge ground cover, he doesn't have a ton of mobility. 1930 01:42:15.079 --> 01:42:17.239 But now that we've moved into that single number six, 1931 01:42:17.239 --> 01:42:19.079 he's done a really good job of shielding the back 1932 01:42:19.119 --> 01:42:22.159 line over the last two games. And I think something 1933 01:42:22.159 --> 01:42:24.720 that we're still yet to see from this midfield, this 1934 01:42:24.760 --> 01:42:28.319 new midfield diamond shape for Dallas is just consistent ball 1935 01:42:28.319 --> 01:42:31.079 progression up the field that they've been really good in 1936 01:42:31.119 --> 01:42:32.800 the moments when they've been able to hit quickly on 1937 01:42:32.840 --> 01:42:34.720 the counter. They've been really good when they've been able 1938 01:42:34.760 --> 01:42:38.159 to force turnovers, but when the other team is pressing them, 1939 01:42:38.199 --> 01:42:40.319 they haven't found the answers so far to playing out, 1940 01:42:40.319 --> 01:42:41.880 So I think that's going to come down to Ramiro 1941 01:42:42.039 --> 01:42:45.119 finding the passes Sebastian Legett and there as well as 1942 01:42:45.159 --> 01:42:48.640 longside Patrickson Delgado in that midfield three. Can they progress 1943 01:42:48.680 --> 01:42:50.439 the ball up the field when Atlanta is putting them 1944 01:42:50.520 --> 01:42:53.199 under pressure and as opposed to just hitting on the counter, 1945 01:42:53.239 --> 01:42:55.880 because ultimately that's not going to be sustainable over the 1946 01:42:55.880 --> 01:42:57.520 course of ninety minutes or over the course of the 1947 01:42:57.560 --> 01:42:59.119 season to just be up and down the field and 1948 01:42:59.119 --> 01:43:01.680 then back defending, you know, for for a large majority 1949 01:43:01.720 --> 01:43:03.880 of the game. So can they find some sustained possession, 1950 01:43:04.079 --> 01:43:06.640 particularly if they get a lead at the Bens this weekend? 1951 01:43:06.760 --> 01:43:08.439 All right, what's study hall like for you for the 1952 01:43:08.439 --> 01:43:10.079 rest of the week getting ready for this one? 1953 01:43:10.479 --> 01:43:12.600 Well, I'll be I'll be tuned into your show, So 1954 01:43:12.760 --> 01:43:14.680 I'd like to listen to some of the Atlanta podcasts 1955 01:43:14.720 --> 01:43:17.920 as well. Always do some opposition scouting that way, just 1956 01:43:17.640 --> 01:43:22.119 to just to get a vibe how this goes exactly exactly. 1957 01:43:22.199 --> 01:43:26.039 Definitely do some opposition scouting and just make sure you know, 1958 01:43:26.119 --> 01:43:28.880 familiar with the team, be out at training and catch 1959 01:43:28.920 --> 01:43:31.880 any sort of any developments, any tactical ideas that they're 1960 01:43:31.880 --> 01:43:34.119 going to try and implement. Talk to Eric Quill on Friday, 1961 01:43:34.159 --> 01:43:36.560 and then we'll be in the booth at Toyota Stadium 1962 01:43:36.600 --> 01:43:38.800 calling it. I wish I was there at Mercedes ben Stadium. 1963 01:43:38.880 --> 01:43:41.159 That's a bucket listen one to to catch for sure 1964 01:43:41.159 --> 01:43:43.640 at some point. But we'll be in the booth at 1965 01:43:43.680 --> 01:43:46.000 Toyota Stadium calling it for for our fans on the 1966 01:43:46.039 --> 01:43:47.720 Fcadouts radio network. 1967 01:43:47.880 --> 01:43:49.439 Satan. Now, you hit the promo for me on the 1968 01:43:49.439 --> 01:43:51.199 way out the door, so I didn't have to ask 1969 01:43:51.239 --> 01:43:54.239 that question.

That's what we're going 1989 01:44:35.800 --> 01:44:39.600 to try and do this season is when the opposition, 1990 01:44:39.840 --> 01:44:43.199 you know, when obviously the opposition's there, we know who 1991 01:44:43.279 --> 01:44:45.039 we can grab on to and we'll see if we 1992 01:44:45.039 --> 01:44:47.199 can get them on to discuss what's going on.

Like I said, Tyler dropped in three 2000 01:45:01.399 --> 01:45:03.800 times in a week, so he's got the keys of 2001 01:45:03.840 --> 01:45:05.840 the kingdom. He's a dangerous man, so I Bryan Figured. 2002 01:45:05.880 --> 01:45:08.119 Good to catch up with Ryan the hometown guy in 2003 01:45:08.119 --> 01:45:10.399 his first season calling games for FC Dallas on the 2004 01:45:10.439 --> 01:45:14.039 FC Dallas app and for FC Dallas.

And so yeah, Eric got a yellow last 2031 01:46:50.560 --> 01:46:53.399 yellow card last match against Sporting Kansas City.

This summer, United 2146 01:53:22.399 --> 01:53:24.720 stepped up their interest in Liam d Lapp, who's rated 2147 01:53:24.720 --> 01:53:27.159 at forty million pounds four letter paper.

Newcastle plotting a move for 2156 01:53:53.319 --> 01:53:58.159 Liverpool's Harvey Elliott, Chelsea considering a move worth forty million 2157 01:53:58.199 --> 01:54:02.119 euro for Via Ral strike, Tiero Barrett Tierra No Berry 2158 01:54:02.800 --> 01:54:08.039 that's from Fieshahes.

So that's 2165 01:54:27.680 --> 01:54:33.560 your gossip rumor innu window. Now the activity and the 2166 01:54:33.600 --> 01:54:36.159 stories and everything else that's come across the desk before 2167 01:54:36.199 --> 01:54:38.880 we get out of here once again, thanks to Thanks 2168 01:54:38.920 --> 01:54:41.039 to everybody who'd dropped in this morning. Ryan Figured from 2169 01:54:41.119 --> 01:54:43.880 FC Dallas, Dylan Butler from MLS Soccer dot Com and 2170 01:54:43.920 --> 01:54:47.760 Tyler Tyler the other Tyler Tyler Pilgrim from Scarves and 2171 01:54:47.880 --> 01:54:50.199 Spikes from ember Tonight seven o'clock they have their show 2172 01:54:50.439 --> 01:54:53.960 plus Max Bretos on tape, so we'll be able to 2173 01:54:54.000 --> 01:55:00.560 listen to that. Let's see the scores that happen yes yesterday. 2174 01:55:01.359 --> 01:55:04.960 I'm trying to see if there's any news that has 2175 01:55:05.239 --> 01:55:10.479 come across the desk, and I'm trying to see it 2176 01:55:10.560 --> 01:55:13.920 does not look like there's been a whole lot of 2177 01:55:14.000 --> 01:55:17.840 news yet this morning. So oh, we got to get 2178 01:55:17.840 --> 01:55:20.199 into Barcelona before we go. We definitely have to get 2179 01:55:20.199 --> 01:55:23.479 into Barcelona before we know. Manchester United Women's said coach 2180 01:55:23.520 --> 01:55:25.720 Mark Skinner, signed a new deal to June twenty seven, 2181 01:55:25.760 --> 01:55:29.720 with the option of an extra year. Carlo Ancelotti is 2182 01:55:29.760 --> 01:55:34.079 in his tax fraud trial, quoted in Cortus saying I 2183 01:55:34.079 --> 01:55:38.199 never realized something wasn't right. Keep an eye on that now. 2184 01:55:40.279 --> 01:55:44.399 We probably should catch up with Jessica Charman on a 2185 01:55:44.399 --> 01:55:49.199 bunch of different things, but specifically reading and things are 2186 01:55:49.239 --> 01:55:52.720 looking pretty Dicey and Dodgy. Right now, the club has 2187 01:55:52.760 --> 01:55:55.840 a deadline of Saturday from the EFL to agree to 2188 01:55:55.960 --> 01:56:00.640 a sale. Rob Kuhig has rejected an off from current 2189 01:56:00.680 --> 01:56:03.359 owner Die Young. Kuig says he wants to see a 2190 01:56:03.520 --> 01:56:08.520 legally binding document. This is inexclusive by Matt Hughes. Now 2191 01:56:09.000 --> 01:56:12.000 Rob Koig once again rejecting a proposal to lift his 2192 01:56:12.119 --> 01:56:15.760 security over the stadium and the training ground. Redding have 2193 01:56:15.840 --> 01:56:18.119 sent a legal letter to Kuig offering to play some 2194 01:56:18.159 --> 01:56:21.479 of the proceeds from the proposed sale to Robert Platek 2195 01:56:21.560 --> 01:56:23.880 in a frozen Escro account, pending the result of his 2196 01:56:23.960 --> 01:56:26.479 High Court claim for twelve million pounds scheduled for July. 2197 01:56:27.159 --> 01:56:31.960 Kuig is suing Reading for loss of opportunity after Die 2198 01:56:32.039 --> 01:56:35.119 Young withdrew from a sale agreement last summer, with a 2199 01:56:35.159 --> 01:56:38.399 hearing at London's Commercial Court last month confirming his mortgages 2200 01:56:38.399 --> 01:56:42.319 against the club's property assets remain in place. Redding's offer 2201 01:56:43.119 --> 01:56:45.600 is an attempt to resolve the impasse before a deadline 2202 01:56:45.640 --> 01:56:47.479 of Saturday for the club to be sold, which is 2203 01:56:47.479 --> 01:56:50.760 the result of the decision to disqualify Die Young as 2204 01:56:50.800 --> 01:56:54.000 a director back in February. The EFL board will meet 2205 01:56:54.039 --> 01:56:56.399 on Thursday to discuss the next steps if the sale 2206 01:56:56.520 --> 01:57:01.720 is not imminent. Options include suspending Redga, preventing them from playing, 2207 01:57:02.000 --> 01:57:05.039 which would have implications in the League One promotion race. 2208 01:57:05.520 --> 01:57:07.920 Rob Kogg's lawyers are understood to have applied to Redding 2209 01:57:07.920 --> 01:57:11.039 with a rejection, which increases fears the club could be 2210 01:57:11.079 --> 01:57:14.560 suspended in inter administration. Kuwig said, I told my lawyers 2211 01:57:14.560 --> 01:57:16.800 to respond with comeback when it's real. I have very 2212 01:57:16.800 --> 01:57:21.880 little faith in them. Frankly. I had twenty five documents signed, 2213 01:57:21.880 --> 01:57:24.520 I spent over a million on legal and transaction fees, 2214 01:57:24.560 --> 01:57:27.039 came to England for a week. Money was my account 2215 01:57:27.079 --> 01:57:29.720 ready to go. Nothing to talk about until they come 2216 01:57:29.760 --> 01:57:32.159 to me with a binding agreement. I want to see 2217 01:57:32.159 --> 01:57:34.880 a legally binding document signed by both seller and buyer. 2218 01:57:35.199 --> 01:57:38.680 That's when we'll have an agreement. Kuig still has aspirations 2219 01:57:38.720 --> 01:57:42.880 to buy Redding despite taking this approach to negotiations, reluctant 2220 01:57:42.880 --> 01:57:44.840 to hand the club to plot Tech, the co head 2221 01:57:44.840 --> 01:57:49.319 of global credit at private equity firm BDT and MSD Partners. 2222 01:57:49.359 --> 01:57:52.520 We all know about MSD and Michael Dill. Kuwig formally 2223 01:57:52.520 --> 01:57:55.880 owned Wickham, claims that Redding violated the terms of his 2224 01:57:55.920 --> 01:58:00.279 purchase agreement by entering exclusive talks with plot Tech. Is 2225 01:58:00.319 --> 01:58:04.960 extremely reluctant to suspend retting one point outside the playoff spots, 2226 01:58:04.960 --> 01:58:07.239 but need evidence that the standoff can be resolved if 2227 01:58:07.279 --> 01:58:10.720 it's going to extend this week's deadline. Club said in 2228 01:58:10.760 --> 01:58:13.479 a statement back on the twenty first of March, mister 2229 01:58:13.560 --> 01:58:15.520 Dye remains committed to working with the EFL to sell 2230 01:58:15.560 --> 01:58:19.359 the club and secure it's long term future. I know 2231 01:58:19.439 --> 01:58:23.880 that Jess is not enjoying life right now, but we 2232 01:58:23.960 --> 01:58:26.680 do need to catch up with Jess and find out 2233 01:58:27.800 --> 01:58:31.680 what the latest is and find out what's going on 2234 01:58:32.199 --> 01:58:35.399 there with that now to get into Barcelona before we 2235 01:58:35.680 --> 01:58:41.439 get out of here this morning. You remember, and it's 2236 01:58:41.479 --> 01:58:43.880 you know, it's almost like a bit of a running gag. 2237 01:58:46.560 --> 01:58:49.920 You know, hansi Flick has them right now in the 2238 01:58:50.000 --> 01:58:57.479 hunt for three trophies. But the financial situation, like I said, 2239 01:58:57.479 --> 01:59:00.680 the financial situation, we sit there and we go, you know, 2240 01:59:02.560 --> 01:59:08.279 we'd really like for something to happen here to where they, oh, 2241 01:59:08.399 --> 01:59:15.359 I don't know, can pay bills and bring in players 2242 01:59:15.920 --> 01:59:19.880 who knows. Marc Andre Trustegan resumed training, defying the fear 2243 01:59:19.880 --> 01:59:22.439 that the knee injury suffered in September would end his season. 2244 01:59:23.920 --> 01:59:28.560 But it came out this morning and I want to 2245 01:59:28.600 --> 01:59:34.000 go back to what went down when it came to 2246 01:59:34.159 --> 01:59:37.079 and no, that was not what I hit. So here's 2247 01:59:37.560 --> 01:59:46.479 here's the rundown from this morning. The story from Paul Balous, 2248 01:59:46.720 --> 01:59:54.199 the FC Barcelona correspondent for the Athletic. It is right 2249 01:59:54.279 --> 02:00:01.359 now pretty bad. La Leguas say Barcelona are not meeting 2250 02:00:01.399 --> 02:00:04.359 financial fair play rules and have reported to the authorities 2251 02:00:04.399 --> 02:00:07.560 an auditor of the club employed for four days. It's 2252 02:00:07.600 --> 02:00:15.279 like you want to gig for four days. Here, you 2253 02:00:15.319 --> 02:00:20.239 want to gig for four days. We need you as 2254 02:00:20.279 --> 02:00:27.960 an auditor to do this. So Paul Bolous and more, 2255 02:00:29.439 --> 02:00:34.279 when you have multiple dudes who are writing a story, 2256 02:00:34.520 --> 02:00:36.840 is what is it we always say about the deadlines 2257 02:00:38.640 --> 02:00:42.920 blouse at all at the Athletic. LaLiga says Barsla not 2258 02:00:43.000 --> 02:00:45.840 meeting FFP rules and have reported to the authorities and 2259 02:00:45.960 --> 02:00:49.920 auditor to the club employed for four days, which played 2260 02:00:49.920 --> 02:00:51.960 a vital role in them being allowed to use Dannielmo 2261 02:00:52.039 --> 02:00:53.960 and Poe Victor in the second half of the season. 2262 02:00:54.479 --> 02:00:59.239 According to LaLiga, the unnamed auditor was appointed by Barcelona 2263 02:00:59.479 --> 02:01:01.319 on the last day of the calendar year last year, 2264 02:01:01.359 --> 02:01:03.880 December thirty first, and provided a certificate to the league 2265 02:01:03.880 --> 02:01:07.680 which confirmed the sale of vip seating to Middle Eastern 2266 02:01:07.680 --> 02:01:10.960 investors worth one hundred million euro to the club was 2267 02:01:11.079 --> 02:01:13.960 properly accounted for as income in the club's p and 2268 02:01:14.039 --> 02:01:16.920 L statements for twenty four to twenty five. It was 2269 02:01:17.000 --> 02:01:22.159 this sale that allowed Barsa to meet financial regulations granted 2270 02:01:22.159 --> 02:01:24.960 permission from the Spanish government in January to play Danny 2271 02:01:25.000 --> 02:01:27.880 Omo and Po Victor for at least three months. This 2272 02:01:28.079 --> 02:01:33.399 is while according to Balus, the Conseiljo Superior did deport 2273 02:01:33.479 --> 02:01:38.600 this the Superior Sports Council, the government's high sports council 2274 02:01:38.720 --> 02:01:43.159 that reviews LaLiga and national team decisions, to de register 2275 02:01:43.279 --> 02:01:46.079 the two players, which was due to Barcelona's late filing 2276 02:01:46.119 --> 02:01:48.840 of financial documents regarding the sale of the vip seating. 2277 02:01:49.119 --> 02:01:52.760 The ruling is expected to be delivered honor before Monday. 2278 02:01:54.159 --> 02:01:56.319 The latest issue, according to the Oliga, is that Barsa 2279 02:01:56.399 --> 02:01:59.359 have reported three auditors to LaLiga in the space of 2280 02:01:59.399 --> 02:02:02.439 three months, and the other two have not included the 2281 02:02:02.439 --> 02:02:04.399 sale of the vip seating and their statements to the 2282 02:02:04.439 --> 02:02:10.159 league three auditors. One said yet these seats were sold, 2283 02:02:10.199 --> 02:02:14.159 the other two that were employed did not. Grant Thornton, 2284 02:02:14.279 --> 02:02:16.359 was acting for Barcelona up until the end of the 2285 02:02:16.399 --> 02:02:19.319 calendar year, filed an interim financial statement with no mention 2286 02:02:19.399 --> 02:02:22.960 of the VIP seating and crow has been in place 2287 02:02:23.000 --> 02:02:26.760 since the unnamed auditor and filed a limited review report 2288 02:02:26.800 --> 02:02:30.199 to La Liga. LaLiga argues that the according to the 2289 02:02:30.199 --> 02:02:34.159 IFS filed by the statement filed by Grant Thornton, that 2290 02:02:34.199 --> 02:02:38.600 Barcelona did not nor does it currently have any positive 2291 02:02:38.640 --> 02:02:41.760 balance or registration capacity publicly known as fair play to 2292 02:02:41.880 --> 02:02:45.800 register Danny Omo and Poe Victor. The league has informed 2293 02:02:45.800 --> 02:02:48.359 of Barcelona that their squad cost limit has been reduced 2294 02:02:48.399 --> 02:02:50.159 by the amount of the sale of the VIP seating 2295 02:02:50.600 --> 02:02:57.119 based on the submitted statement that was the ifs. LaLiga 2296 02:02:57.159 --> 02:03:01.000 has also shared with the High Sports Council and intends 2297 02:03:01.039 --> 02:03:03.760 to file a formal complaint with Spain's Institute of Accounting 2298 02:03:03.760 --> 02:03:07.319 and Auditing against the unnamed auditor employed by Barcelona for 2299 02:03:07.399 --> 02:03:10.199 four days, literally between December thirty first and January third, 2300 02:03:11.079 --> 02:03:13.680 four days. This auditor comes in says, yeah, you're cool. 2301 02:03:13.720 --> 02:03:19.560 They sold these suites to Middle Eastern investors and everything's 2302 02:03:19.600 --> 02:03:23.399 on the up and up. The other two auditors were like, well, no, 2303 02:03:24.720 --> 02:03:32.680 it's not. Quote from Joan Laporta. Barcelona currently on a 2304 02:03:32.800 --> 02:03:38.479 nineteen game unbeaten an unbeaten rung run rung a nineteen 2305 02:03:38.640 --> 02:03:45.560 match unbeaten run, top of Litiga Champions League quarters, second 2306 02:03:45.600 --> 02:03:49.760 leg Copa deel Ray semi tonight against Athletico Madrid.

We should know more by Monday, but this 2316 02:04:29.520 --> 02:04:32.079 looks like a mess and a half. One auditor says, yeah, 2317 02:04:32.119 --> 02:04:35.760 they're good.
