Yay or nay. 2 00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:11.560 I don't usually nay until I taste it, but the 3 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:15.240 description leads me to a nay, like I'm on the road. 4 00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:17.640 I'm on the I'm on the road. 5 00:00:17.679 --> 00:00:19.559 Tonay, Okay, I understood. 6 00:00:19.600 --> 00:00:25.719 I mean, I am readily an individual that I am 7 00:00:25.760 --> 00:00:29.839 not into hot food. I'm into hot sauces. I'm not 8 00:00:29.879 --> 00:00:34.439 into hot food. I mean full disclosure. Last night for dinner, 9 00:00:35.119 --> 00:00:37.719 the Boss made dinner. 10 00:00:37.359 --> 00:00:37.960 In the kitchen. 11 00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:39.960 We actually ate in the kitchen and we had we 12 00:00:40.039 --> 00:00:43.880 had chicken breasts and salads and things. And there is 13 00:00:43.960 --> 00:00:49.280 a high school football coach friend of mine who he 14 00:00:50.240 --> 00:00:55.359 has been experimenting on rubs and hot sauces because he's 15 00:00:55.359 --> 00:00:57.640 a big he's a big griller and he any fishes 16 00:00:57.679 --> 00:00:59.439 and hunts and those kinds of things, and so what 17 00:00:59.479 --> 00:01:01.119 he likes to do is he likes to go down 18 00:01:01.359 --> 00:01:04.400 the grilling path and try to come up with a rub. 19 00:01:04.760 --> 00:01:07.920 It literally took him fourteen years to perfect the rub 20 00:01:07.959 --> 00:01:11.359 that he got and it is insane and it is 21 00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:13.959 so hot for me that I barely can stand it, 22 00:01:14.040 --> 00:01:17.439 but it works very very well. I didn't That is 23 00:01:17.480 --> 00:01:21.719 one of the rare hot things that I will have 24 00:01:22.000 --> 00:01:24.599 in my kitchen, and there are plus ones that actually 25 00:01:24.640 --> 00:01:26.439 do make their own barbecue. 26 00:01:25.959 --> 00:01:28.079 Hot sauce too that we have as additions. 27 00:01:28.120 --> 00:01:30.640 Is I am not a hot food person, so I 28 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:35.879 didn't know how random off the wall sauces would fit 29 00:01:36.200 --> 00:01:37.599 in your purview either. 30 00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:42.519 Well, I mean I'm thinking, you know, blue you get 31 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:46.560 some sweetness right from the blueberry, so almost like a 32 00:01:46.599 --> 00:01:50.120 hot honey type of feel to it. I guess right. 33 00:01:50.319 --> 00:01:54.200 Right, yes, And so that was where That's kind of 34 00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:56.280 where I was going with that this morning. And now 35 00:01:56.439 --> 00:01:58.879 since Tyler mentioned it, and I figured I would go 36 00:01:58.920 --> 00:02:01.000 ahead and bring it through with you and find out 37 00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:03.680 how you work with hot food. Speaking of which, how 38 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:04.920 are you with things? 39 00:02:05.120 --> 00:02:15.840 Uh? Club World Cup? Yeah, your name sounds like the. 40 00:02:15.800 --> 00:02:17.680 First time, I think for the first time, I'm yeah, 41 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:23.039 just because it's here. You know, it was it was 42 00:02:23.080 --> 00:02:26.800 always like this tournament of like six teams or eight 43 00:02:26.840 --> 00:02:29.000 teams and you knew two of them and it was 44 00:02:29.080 --> 00:02:31.919 in the middle of the night somewhere in Tokyo or like. 45 00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:32.759 It wasn't. 46 00:02:34.000 --> 00:02:36.840 Like it didn't appeal. But I think the fact that 47 00:02:36.879 --> 00:02:39.599 it's here, that that it's that has expanded, you know, 48 00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:47.039 group stage to kind of model the World Cup. I I, uh, yeah, 49 00:02:47.400 --> 00:02:50.240 let's see, let's see. I think I think it's interesting. 50 00:02:50.879 --> 00:02:53.039 And we were going over like some of the teams 51 00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:56.960 to look at and uh, just the novelty factor of 52 00:02:57.120 --> 00:03:01.680 having like Auckland and ol Sign and and River Plate 53 00:03:02.080 --> 00:03:05.520 and Boca Juniors and botha Fogo and all of these 54 00:03:05.560 --> 00:03:08.719 folks outside of you know, those of its that follow 55 00:03:08.759 --> 00:03:10.719 the game in Europe will say.

So I think 58 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:16.599 the novelty for me is part of the attraction to 59 00:03:16.680 --> 00:03:16.960 it all. 60 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.520 Yeah, And I think like the Benz has a few matches, right, 61 00:03:20.560 --> 00:03:21.879 I think I think that should be buzzing. 62 00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:22.560 Yep. 63 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:27.240 We have Messi and Friends in Porto, we have Chelsea 64 00:03:27.520 --> 00:03:30.120 and lafc is the first one on the sixteenth, Then 65 00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:32.319 we have Messi and Friends in Porto on the nineteenth, 66 00:03:32.360 --> 00:03:34.879 and then we have in group stage man City and 67 00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:37.639 all Ayen is the late night match on the twenty second, 68 00:03:37.680 --> 00:03:41.520 and then we have three in the knockouts after that. 69 00:03:41.639 --> 00:03:42.439 So six total. 70 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:50.960 Yeah, no, So I think, yeah, like I'm not I 71 00:03:51.000 --> 00:03:54.280 think again, I think the novelty of it being an 72 00:03:54.319 --> 00:03:59.479 expanded tournament here.

Storylines here at the halfway point 108 00:05:34.319 --> 00:05:35.040 of the season for you. 109 00:05:37.360 --> 00:05:41.240 Yeah, I mean, I think obviously it starts with Vancouver, right, 110 00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:50.279 like obviously the surprise favorites for the Shield at this point, 111 00:05:50.319 --> 00:05:56.000 I think you probably could have named four different teams 112 00:05:56.680 --> 00:06:03.759 who would who would be the favorites preseason that are 113 00:06:03.800 --> 00:06:09.639 in Vancouver. I don't know, I don't know where maybe 114 00:06:09.800 --> 00:06:13.319 tenth or so. Maybe preseason you would have had Vancouver 115 00:06:14.040 --> 00:06:17.240 in the Shield race. But yeah, here they are, right, 116 00:06:17.279 --> 00:06:23.639 and they've showed consistency, which is rare in MLS. It's 117 00:06:23.639 --> 00:06:27.839 it's so rare to get a team consistently good over 118 00:06:27.920 --> 00:06:34.199 multiple competitions, despite injuries, despite travel, and they've done that. 119 00:06:35.519 --> 00:06:42.480 So of course, now the question mark is Champions Cup, right, 120 00:06:42.600 --> 00:06:43.240 like can. 121 00:06:43.199 --> 00:06:45.720 Hey what the hell happened last week against Chrissul. 122 00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:51.240 Yeah, yeah, no, you know, And and there's got to 123 00:06:51.279 --> 00:06:55.319 be now credit to Columbus last year because I do 124 00:06:55.360 --> 00:06:58.639 remember I was on their next match, which was at NYCFC, 125 00:06:59.519 --> 00:07:02.519 the first one back from from losing in the final. 126 00:07:03.639 --> 00:07:06.120 Uh and they won that match, and I think they 127 00:07:06.120 --> 00:07:07.759 went on on a bit of a run after that, 128 00:07:08.079 --> 00:07:11.360 and and they showed, you know that they were a 129 00:07:11.439 --> 00:07:16.040 championship caliber team. Uh And and they they managed that 130 00:07:16.079 --> 00:07:19.639 disappointment And it's such a it's such I think it's 131 00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:23.639 probably more mental than physical, although the physical part comes 132 00:07:23.680 --> 00:07:26.040 in too because again of all of everything that we 133 00:07:26.120 --> 00:07:26.839 mentioned about it. 134 00:07:28.240 --> 00:07:28.639 But the. 135 00:07:30.439 --> 00:07:33.879 Yeah, I mean, that's now the question for Vancouver, right 136 00:07:34.040 --> 00:07:40.040 like what do they look like, you know, post run 137 00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:42.959 to to a to a final that where they fell 138 00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:43.519 so flat? 139 00:07:44.000 --> 00:07:47.639 Yes, and you wonder if the international break is a 140 00:07:47.680 --> 00:07:49.439 good thing for them so they can just kind of 141 00:07:49.439 --> 00:07:52.279 catch their breath a little bit for the second half 142 00:07:52.279 --> 00:07:52.839 of the season. 143 00:07:53.160 --> 00:07:58.240 Yeah, they've got Seattle coming up on what is that Sunday? 144 00:08:01.319 --> 00:08:03.240 But yeah, then then then a little bit of a 145 00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:05.759 break after that for sure. But then that's I think 146 00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:07.319 it's at a perfect time definitely. 147 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:07.800 Yeah. 148 00:08:08.000 --> 00:08:13.040 Uh then if we're talking about Vancouver, then when I 149 00:08:13.079 --> 00:08:17.759 mentioned La g and just how crazy it has been 150 00:08:17.839 --> 00:08:21.120 to stare at them and go, you've got to be 151 00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:21.959 kidding me with this. 152 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:25.399 Yeah, and and and them too, like you gave him 153 00:08:25.399 --> 00:08:29.839 a little bit of a of the leeway, Like yeah, 154 00:08:30.000 --> 00:08:33.879 you know, Cup was incredible.

We don't know? 184 00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:18.120 You know, like you started a hunter in the nineteen eighties, 185 00:10:18.120 --> 00:10:18.559 that's what he. 186 00:10:21.879 --> 00:10:26.720 And uh, you know, but in a in a it's 187 00:10:26.720 --> 00:10:29.759 weird to say, because they're they're they're they've been struggling 188 00:10:29.759 --> 00:10:32.200 this year, but in a Saint Louis type of way. 189 00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:37.480 They established the way they wanted to play very early, right, 190 00:10:37.519 --> 00:10:40.679 and they and they stuck to that they got the 191 00:10:40.679 --> 00:10:46.120 pieces to play that way, and they've been great. They've 192 00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:48.960 been great through this first half of the season. So 193 00:10:49.039 --> 00:10:54.120 that definitely, you know another team that's been a big surprise. Uh, 194 00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:55.960 in a in a good way and and in a 195 00:10:56.159 --> 00:11:02.879 in a in a sort of after arc drunk socceryway. 196 00:11:03.000 --> 00:11:06.960 So hes San Jose, Right, they've been great. Yes, they 197 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.559 lead the West, and goals for they're one of the most. 198 00:11:09.559 --> 00:11:12.919 And goals against. Why the hell not go over on 199 00:11:12.960 --> 00:11:14.720 the juice boxes every time they play a thing? 200 00:11:15.120 --> 00:11:15.399 Yes? 201 00:11:15.799 --> 00:11:19.919 Absolutely true? Uh did Saint Louis? Did all Caps fire 202 00:11:19.919 --> 00:11:20.960 o luft Melbourg too soon? 203 00:11:21.799 --> 00:11:21.879 No? 204 00:11:23.480 --> 00:11:27.440 So you thought it was that bad even after fifteen matches? Yes, okay, 205 00:11:28.919 --> 00:11:29.200 And so. 206 00:11:29.600 --> 00:11:31.399 Sometimes you have to take a mulligan, I think with 207 00:11:31.519 --> 00:11:32.000 some of these. 208 00:11:32.240 --> 00:11:35.000 Well, but then all right, so we talked to the 209 00:11:35.039 --> 00:11:38.879 folks at ball watching in Saint Louis last week and 210 00:11:39.360 --> 00:11:41.759 we went down this, we went down this rabbit hole. 211 00:11:41.879 --> 00:11:44.440 But then how many mulligans does a guy like Lutzpan 212 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:48.639 and Steel get. I'm with you on that, because you know, 213 00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:52.399 you bring in Carnel and rookie pitch your first time 214 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:55.320 through the league, you know, you see what happens. You 215 00:11:55.440 --> 00:11:59.360 find out systemically that you're good in a one off, 216 00:11:59.399 --> 00:12:02.080 but in the best three you get found out. Then 217 00:12:02.159 --> 00:12:04.840 you come back season two and you come off to 218 00:12:04.879 --> 00:12:08.960 the slow start, You wig and you let Carnell go, 219 00:12:09.279 --> 00:12:11.440 and then you go through the rest of that year 220 00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:13.879 with injuries and such, and you don't make the playoffs. 221 00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:15.440 And now here in year three you're bringing all off 222 00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:17.879 Melbourg and he only lasts fifteen matches. How much of 223 00:12:17.919 --> 00:12:20.039 a leash does Fon and Steel get, Now. 224 00:12:21.600 --> 00:12:29.399 That's a great question. I think it will. I think 225 00:12:29.399 --> 00:12:35.440 it'll depend on what they look like going forward. And uh, 226 00:12:37.159 --> 00:12:40.080 you know, I get. I guess he's unless it's a 227 00:12:40.159 --> 00:12:45.720 very short leash, he's certainly gonna be in the in 228 00:12:45.720 --> 00:12:48.399 in the decision making process and a big way for 229 00:12:48.440 --> 00:12:49.360 the for the next. 230 00:12:49.159 --> 00:12:51.360 Coach, right you would think so. 231 00:12:51.679 --> 00:12:55.679 But that's where I think the short least comes in. Right, 232 00:12:55.759 --> 00:12:59.559 So we're gonna give you another chance hire this next guy. 233 00:12:59.639 --> 00:13:02.440 But that that's got a hit right away, I think. 234 00:13:03.200 --> 00:13:06.159 And speaking of Carnell, all of a sudden, he's in 235 00:13:06.240 --> 00:13:10.080 Philly and it is the Bradley Carnell Show, taking over 236 00:13:10.120 --> 00:13:12.720 for Jim Curtin, and you're four points clear of everybody 237 00:13:12.720 --> 00:13:13.879 else at the halfway point. 238 00:13:13.720 --> 00:13:22.879 In the East, another surprise. You know you thought Gazdag goes, 239 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:30.679 selling curtain goes. It's gonna be a team that's gonna 240 00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:38.639 rely on largely on the on the academy, filtering up 241 00:13:38.799 --> 00:13:41.639 good players, and we're gonna we're gonna go on the 242 00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:47.960 cheap and see where that brings us. And Typeribo has 243 00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.279 been one of the best forwards to this point. Right, 244 00:13:50.360 --> 00:13:54.440 a Golden Boot contender had a red Hot Star. He's 245 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:57.559 a guy who has a lot of like he scores 246 00:13:57.600 --> 00:14:00.679 his goals in bunches, so like when he gets on 247 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:03.399 a run, he gets scored like eight goals and like 248 00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:07.480 a five game span. Right, So the young guys have 249 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:14.360 all played too high levels. They've got some of the 250 00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:18.200 best eleven I think in a few different spots. 251 00:14:18.279 --> 00:14:18.399 Right. 252 00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:22.759 Kaive Wagner continues to be one of the best outside 253 00:14:22.759 --> 00:14:28.080 backs in the league. And and they're playing you know, 254 00:14:28.120 --> 00:14:32.879 they they've they've put all their cards in on energy 255 00:14:32.960 --> 00:14:36.480 drink soccer and it's and it's really benefited them. 256 00:14:36.480 --> 00:14:39.759 Well, so now then you look at Messi and friends 257 00:14:40.000 --> 00:14:42.519 and literally you don't know which one of them you're 258 00:14:42.519 --> 00:14:44.679 gonna get you're gonna get the you're gonna get angry, 259 00:14:44.720 --> 00:14:48.080 messy where you just basically take Columbus out back and 260 00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:51.200 sit there and uh, you know, lock the door and 261 00:14:51.320 --> 00:14:53.440 have them stuck in the backyard and the rainstorm and 262 00:14:53.480 --> 00:14:55.879 then no way to get back in the house. Or 263 00:14:56.120 --> 00:14:59.240 they're the club that gives up four or five and 264 00:14:59.440 --> 00:15:01.759 it turns into absolute chaos. 265 00:15:03.000 --> 00:15:05.000 Where are you leaning with them? 266 00:15:05.720 --> 00:15:09.000 I don't know if it's going to be sustainable with 267 00:15:09.080 --> 00:15:11.759 this kind of a pace, with the defense that we've seen, 268 00:15:11.879 --> 00:15:13.279 especially in a playoff series. 269 00:15:15.679 --> 00:15:19.600 Yeah, so I think with Miami, the one of the 270 00:15:19.639 --> 00:15:20.600 things they need to do. 271 00:15:21.960 --> 00:15:25.440 Stop scory that yeah. 272 00:15:26.679 --> 00:15:33.360 Is, uh, is to not be as messy dependent as 273 00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:38.919 they've been. Right. So it's not like, you know, like 274 00:15:38.960 --> 00:15:42.720 when Lebron was at his best, Right, It's it's like, 275 00:15:43.600 --> 00:15:47.519 give the ball to Lebron, clear out and let him 276 00:15:47.559 --> 00:15:52.960 do his thing. This is a sport with a much 277 00:15:52.960 --> 00:15:56.120 bigger field and and and and more than double the 278 00:15:56.120 --> 00:16:00.240 players as an NBA court, Right, So you can't just 279 00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:04.440 give the ball to Messi and then let him be magical, 280 00:16:04.519 --> 00:16:06.960 even though he can do that, right, Like, you've gotta 281 00:16:08.000 --> 00:16:13.559 you've got to not always force feed him the ball, 282 00:16:13.600 --> 00:16:16.080 I think, which is something that they've been doing a 283 00:16:16.120 --> 00:16:20.000 lot of, right, So I think I think that's that's 284 00:16:20.000 --> 00:16:25.320 one and you did mention another another important valuable for them. 285 00:16:25.440 --> 00:16:26.879 So let people score as much. 286 00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:29.440 Bill but soccer dot Com drop and by as he 287 00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:33.039 always does on Wednesdays. Okay, your top vote getters, Uh 288 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:36.720 no no screen no screen saving needed. Yeah, sorry about 289 00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.200 that having different categories. And this is from first and foremost. 290 00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:44.679 Stop playing league all Star teams. Uh, from outside of 291 00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:47.519 your own league. Play yourself, make it, make you know 292 00:16:47.960 --> 00:16:48.399 the whole. 293 00:16:48.679 --> 00:16:49.000 Look. 294 00:16:49.799 --> 00:16:51.879 I just that that bugs me more than anything else. 295 00:16:51.919 --> 00:16:54.440 It's like, look, make it, make it your league, showcase, 296 00:16:54.480 --> 00:16:57.200 your players, have it be. You know, we we fixed 297 00:16:57.240 --> 00:16:59.600 the All Star Game back to back years and turned 298 00:16:59.639 --> 00:17:02.320 it into Royal Rumble and made it fun. And you 299 00:17:02.360 --> 00:17:05.359 know you're not sitting there and you know, raging about 300 00:17:05.599 --> 00:17:07.000 the format and what's going on. 301 00:17:08.400 --> 00:17:09.359 Top vote getters. 302 00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:11.240 We have the top fives with a week to go 303 00:17:11.359 --> 00:17:15.519 left before July twenty third, at Q two in front 304 00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:17.480 of a too small a crowd, And I do want 305 00:17:17.519 --> 00:17:18.960 to talk to you about Chicago and that news that 306 00:17:19.000 --> 00:17:21.359 came out yesterday before you get out of here. We 307 00:17:21.400 --> 00:17:24.720 have our top fives in the categories for top vote getters, 308 00:17:25.119 --> 00:17:26.839 and there are seven different categories. 309 00:17:26.839 --> 00:17:28.559 We'll start at the back and work our way forward. 310 00:17:29.240 --> 00:17:32.920 Keeper top five Gallesse Saint, Clair taka Oka, Martin Paz 311 00:17:32.960 --> 00:17:34.000 and Carlos Coronell. 312 00:17:34.039 --> 00:17:35.319 What say you, Dylan Butler? 313 00:17:36.839 --> 00:17:38.119 None of those other guy I picked? 314 00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:39.079 Who'd you pick? 315 00:17:39.720 --> 00:17:40.480 Matt Freeze? 316 00:17:40.920 --> 00:17:43.839 Ah? Okay, understood? Okay? And why sir? 317 00:17:44.519 --> 00:17:47.960 I think he's been nycfsc's best player and you don't, 318 00:17:48.240 --> 00:17:53.000 which also probably speaks to why they're they're middling in 319 00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:55.640 the middle of the of the Eastern Conference. You don't 320 00:17:55.640 --> 00:17:57.960 want your goalie to be your best player, but he 321 00:17:58.079 --> 00:17:59.160 has been. He's been excellent. 322 00:18:00.119 --> 00:18:01.079 Uh. So. 323 00:18:01.640 --> 00:18:06.000 Left back Jordi Alba, Kai Wagner, Max Arfsten, Ryan Hollingshead, 324 00:18:06.079 --> 00:18:06.680 Daniel Love. 325 00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:09.079 It's yeah, I've got Max Arsten there. 326 00:18:09.279 --> 00:18:11.039 Okay, understood? Uh? 327 00:18:11.240 --> 00:18:16.119 Center backs Tristan Blackman from Vancouver, Michael Boxall from Minnesota, 328 00:18:16.200 --> 00:18:19.079 Jacob Glesnis, Miles Robinson and Ranko Vesselnovitch. 329 00:18:19.920 --> 00:18:22.000 I've got black men and less okay? 330 00:18:22.759 --> 00:18:23.599 Uh? 331 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:26.480 Right back, and this one to me seemed like a 332 00:18:26.480 --> 00:18:28.960 bit of a slam dunk, although it did kind of 333 00:18:29.039 --> 00:18:31.240 as a Laine eight pick from the beginning of the year, 334 00:18:31.759 --> 00:18:35.160 Alex Freeman, Andy Nahar Mo, Farcie Griffin, Dorsey, Alex rolled 335 00:18:35.200 --> 00:18:39.000 on yeah Freeman, Yes, I had Freeman for me and 336 00:18:39.039 --> 00:18:42.640 I was like, okay, I wonder how he is, uh 337 00:18:42.799 --> 00:18:45.079 you know, on on a on a vert route, you know, 338 00:18:45.119 --> 00:18:46.680 I wonder how he defends that way. 339 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:51.440 And by the way, just as a disclaimer, yes for mine, 340 00:18:53.000 --> 00:18:59.599 MESSI didn't need my vote. Yeah, these guys needed my vote. Yeah, 341 00:18:59.720 --> 00:19:02.680 let's let Messi's not part of my eleven. 342 00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:03.079 Yeah. 343 00:19:03.400 --> 00:19:07.119 Hey, look with with the understanding, he will be part 344 00:19:07.119 --> 00:19:07.519 of the eleven. 345 00:19:07.559 --> 00:19:09.880 Oh yeah, yeah, he'll be like the special wildcard, kind 346 00:19:09.880 --> 00:19:13.240 of like when Johnny and Fantino announced Team thirty two 347 00:19:13.240 --> 00:19:16.599 in the Club World Cup, the world was shocked. Attacking 348 00:19:16.680 --> 00:19:22.599 mids Evander, Diego Luna, Christiana Spinosa, Lucco Acosta, Pep Biel. 349 00:19:22.759 --> 00:19:25.480 So the first team you mentioned those of my two Evander. 350 00:19:25.160 --> 00:19:27.680 And Luna, Okay, why over the others. 351 00:19:28.839 --> 00:19:34.039 I think a Vander, I think a Vander is in 352 00:19:34.079 --> 00:19:41.279 a MVP conversation and he's only going to get better. 353 00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:44.839 I think on that team, and Diego Luna is the 354 00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:46.880 best version of Diego Luna that we've seen. I think 355 00:19:46.880 --> 00:19:51.920 he's he's taken that next step to elite. 356 00:19:52.240 --> 00:19:56.359 So he's been awesome on a. 357 00:19:57.920 --> 00:20:00.920 You know, on a team that you would call bad. 358 00:20:01.039 --> 00:20:01.319 Right now. 359 00:20:01.359 --> 00:20:04.000 For ours, I was gonna say, yeah, four, ten and 360 00:20:04.039 --> 00:20:07.359 three at the halfway point. They've scored sixteen goals this year, 361 00:20:07.359 --> 00:20:11.640 and Diego Luna, I imagine, has had goal actions attached 362 00:20:11.759 --> 00:20:12.559 to most. 363 00:20:12.440 --> 00:20:13.759 If not all of them. 364 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.839 Sixteen goals, twenty five allowed in seventeen matches, So that 365 00:20:17.960 --> 00:20:22.720 is a goal difference of seventeen and twenty five is 366 00:20:23.039 --> 00:20:26.839 one eight over seventeen. It's like one point five to 367 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:29.720 five somewhere in there. But they're not even scoring a 368 00:20:29.720 --> 00:20:34.079 goal match and Diego Luna is When RSL is on 369 00:20:34.359 --> 00:20:36.640 and Diego Luna gets to show you the Diego Luna 370 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:39.359 that we know is there, it's a fun watch. But 371 00:20:39.480 --> 00:20:41.759 for the most of the time this season RSL has 372 00:20:41.759 --> 00:20:46.440 not been a fun watch at all. Forwards, you mentioned 373 00:20:46.599 --> 00:20:52.200 the guy that doesn't need really anybody's vote, Baribou, Brian White, 374 00:20:52.480 --> 00:20:54.880 Danny Bologa, Onders Dryer. 375 00:20:54.559 --> 00:20:55.519 Where else did you go? 376 00:20:58.720 --> 00:21:05.759 I've got White, I understood, I've got I've got Barribo okay, 377 00:21:06.279 --> 00:21:07.799 and I've got Bowanga. 378 00:21:07.440 --> 00:21:11.880 Okay, uh, And I mean Dryer for me, got off 379 00:21:11.880 --> 00:21:13.839 to a hot start in San Diego, but he's kind 380 00:21:13.839 --> 00:21:15.559 of come back to the rest of the pack a 381 00:21:15.599 --> 00:21:16.039 little bit. 382 00:21:16.799 --> 00:21:17.119 Uh. 383 00:21:17.160 --> 00:21:20.839 Inasmuch as San Diego has continued to be successful, Dryer 384 00:21:20.960 --> 00:21:22.880 has not helped me out in fantasy as much as 385 00:21:22.880 --> 00:21:24.599 he did at the beginning of the season that he 386 00:21:24.720 --> 00:21:25.480 has recently. 387 00:21:25.519 --> 00:21:28.480 So I think those front three, I think the front five, 388 00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:31.240 if you will, like those three positions of two attacking, 389 00:21:31.279 --> 00:21:35.559 those are the hardest.
