WEBVTT 1 00:00:26.519 --> 00:00:29.079 So oh man, I thought I hit it. You gotta 2 00:00:29.120 --> 00:00:30.879 hit the show camera button. That's a bit of a 3 00:00:31.039 --> 00:00:33.399 bit of an issue, John, hear you there. It's Tuesday, 4 00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:36.560 Tuesday thoughts here on the network, and here's the rundown 5 00:00:36.640 --> 00:00:38.920 for the day. First off, sorry about the hiccup. I 6 00:00:38.960 --> 00:00:41.359 thought I had queued it back the intro instead of 7 00:00:41.399 --> 00:00:44.359 it hitting that weird note off the top, but apparently 8 00:00:44.399 --> 00:00:46.000 I didn't, So you've got a weird note off the 9 00:00:46.000 --> 00:00:49.399 top instead of everything else. All right, So here's the deal. 10 00:00:50.039 --> 00:00:55.600 Here's where we are today, batting lead off, and whenever 11 00:00:57.799 --> 00:00:59.920 the man who's in charge, or one of the men 12 00:01:00.079 --> 00:01:02.240 in charge can hop in, we're gonna catch up with 13 00:01:02.320 --> 00:01:04.879 Lloyd Hours, technical Director of the Marshall Island Soccer Federation. 14 00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.879 Thus the reason that we're wearing the jersey today, and 15 00:01:09.040 --> 00:01:11.439 we got a reason to wear the jersey today, it 16 00:01:11.519 --> 00:01:14.840 is because we've got some really cool news coming from 17 00:01:14.840 --> 00:01:18.480 the Marshall Island Soccer Federation and the State of Arkansas. 18 00:01:19.120 --> 00:01:21.719 So we'll have that coming up in just a little 19 00:01:21.760 --> 00:01:24.400 bit when Lloyd can drop by and let us know 20 00:01:24.439 --> 00:01:26.280 what in the wide world of sports is going on. 21 00:01:26.879 --> 00:01:29.200 Then after that we get you rolled into the day, 22 00:01:29.760 --> 00:01:34.840 it is Open Cup, it is MLS review from the weekend, 23 00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:37.719 and god forbid, if you're a fan of the La Galaxy, 24 00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:41.040 then we can talk a little bit about maybe the 25 00:01:41.159 --> 00:01:43.840 second legs of semi finals when it comes to Champions 26 00:01:43.920 --> 00:01:46.799 League and anything else on your mind. We'll talk about 27 00:01:46.799 --> 00:01:49.040 what happened in high school last night, get you set 28 00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:51.079 up for the noon show and everything else that's going 29 00:01:51.120 --> 00:01:55.159 on there, so without any further ado, wasting no time, 30 00:01:55.439 --> 00:01:58.040 as the man is ready to go. It is like 31 00:01:58.120 --> 00:02:01.519 early afternoon, so nine plus five is fourteen, so it's 32 00:02:01.519 --> 00:02:04.640 a little after two o'clock in the afternoon on the 33 00:02:04.719 --> 00:02:07.799 other side of the Atlantic Ocean. What show gives you that? 34 00:02:08.719 --> 00:02:12.240 I think ours none others. We bring in Lloyd Ours 35 00:02:12.280 --> 00:02:14.840 TD for the Marshall Island Soccer Federation. How are you, 36 00:02:14.919 --> 00:02:15.319 my friend. 37 00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:18.280 I'm good, I'm good. I'm a little bit nasily. We're 38 00:02:18.319 --> 00:02:21.479 struggling with hay fever here in the UK, but good 39 00:02:21.479 --> 00:02:21.919 to be back. 40 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:24.360 Wait. Always a pleasure, yep, I am right there with you. 41 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:28.120 Allergies are with me. You know, when we figured out 42 00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:29.879 that you could do this on a quick turn, I 43 00:02:29.919 --> 00:02:31.840 was trying to figure out what gear to wear. 44 00:02:32.199 --> 00:02:34.120 And obviously I appreciate it. 45 00:02:34.199 --> 00:02:36.439 Well, I had to go with this because if I 46 00:02:36.520 --> 00:02:39.520 wore the the the newer one of the two, then 47 00:02:39.560 --> 00:02:42.039 it would end up being like just massive flares and 48 00:02:42.080 --> 00:02:44.639 no one could actually see my face, which might actually 49 00:02:44.680 --> 00:02:47.879 be an improvement. But I figured I would go and 50 00:02:47.919 --> 00:02:51.919 bust out the og the og jersey. And the reason 51 00:02:52.240 --> 00:02:55.759 that I wanted to bring you on and you and 52 00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:58.719 mad or anybody else that could answer the siren song 53 00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.680 this morning is that for those that have been keeping 54 00:03:01.800 --> 00:03:06.360 track of a particular Kickstarter project about what the desire 55 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:10.520 was for the Federation, and it's august In, Arkansas, which 56 00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:12.439 sounds like some kind of a Norman Rock roll painting 57 00:03:14.400 --> 00:03:19.240 august In Arkansas actually is going to happen because you 58 00:03:19.479 --> 00:03:22.800 made your number on the Kickstarter project. When did you 59 00:03:22.960 --> 00:03:24.639 find out that you made the number? 60 00:03:25.599 --> 00:03:29.520 Well, I have to be like the damper on it slightly, 61 00:03:30.159 --> 00:03:33.000 only because so we found out as it was rolling. 62 00:03:33.039 --> 00:03:34.560 I don't know about Matt and Justin, but we were 63 00:03:34.599 --> 00:03:38.319 like refreshing out our feeds every every hour, it seemed, 64 00:03:38.479 --> 00:03:41.120 and then someone beat us to it. So we have 65 00:03:41.159 --> 00:03:44.319 a guy called Woody Watson who is Arkansas based and 66 00:03:44.560 --> 00:03:46.560 is doing a lot of legwork on the ground for us, 67 00:03:47.159 --> 00:03:49.000 and he beat us to it. He put it into 68 00:03:49.039 --> 00:03:51.479 our little WhatsApp group and if you made it. So 69 00:03:51.919 --> 00:03:54.039 we reached that twenty thousand pounds and think it is 70 00:03:54.039 --> 00:03:57.400 about twenty six thousand dollars, which is amazing and to 71 00:03:57.439 --> 00:03:59.599 be honest, yeah, that that covers a big chunk of 72 00:03:59.719 --> 00:04:04.960 the the funding needed. I guess the big thing for 73 00:04:05.080 --> 00:04:06.800 us now is we do need an extra push, which 74 00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:10.919 we're going to try to do from sponsorships. So the 75 00:04:10.960 --> 00:04:14.680 twenty grand will twenty pound will cover our accommodation. So 76 00:04:14.919 --> 00:04:16.639 not only do we have to cover ourselves and give 77 00:04:16.680 --> 00:04:19.519 ourselves somewhere to stay for our team. As a host nation, 78 00:04:19.639 --> 00:04:22.680 we have to provide that for the visiting nations as well. 79 00:04:23.399 --> 00:04:25.360 So food in accommodation is put up by the host nation, 80 00:04:25.439 --> 00:04:28.639 which is us, so that covers that, which is fantastic. 81 00:04:29.639 --> 00:04:31.680 Now we've got the big push to get us there, 82 00:04:31.800 --> 00:04:33.800 So that's where the sponsorship is going to come in. 83 00:04:33.839 --> 00:04:36.879 Hopefully we can find someone that wants to put their name, 84 00:04:37.040 --> 00:04:40.399 you know, their company's brand in across the You could 85 00:04:40.399 --> 00:04:43.480 be the headline sponsor, you could be sponsoring goalkeeper gloves, 86 00:04:43.519 --> 00:04:46.160 whatever it may be balls match day experience, whether it 87 00:04:46.160 --> 00:04:48.560 may be, but that's where this sponsorship drives. Now going 88 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:50.759 to come. But yeah, the big Chunkers is gone, which 89 00:04:50.800 --> 00:04:51.279 is amazing. 90 00:04:51.639 --> 00:04:54.720 What has it been like for all of you guys 91 00:04:54.800 --> 00:04:57.319 to come up with this idea? Well, first off, where 92 00:04:57.360 --> 00:05:00.319 did you come up with the kickstarter idea? Try and 93 00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:01.319 see if that would help. 94 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.839 To be honest, it was Matt. I don't think I 95 00:05:04.839 --> 00:05:06.240 can take credit for it. I don't think anyone else 96 00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:08.800 can as well. It was Matt's idea because we had 97 00:05:08.839 --> 00:05:12.120 the go fundme patron when we first started, which everyone 98 00:05:12.160 --> 00:05:14.160 seems to be doing it, you know, every everyone has 99 00:05:14.160 --> 00:05:17.240 that approach. With the Kickstarter, it seems a little bit 100 00:05:18.399 --> 00:05:23.079 cooler because the draw and the sort of the appeal 101 00:05:23.079 --> 00:05:26.399 of the kickstarter is you risk it, you have it all, 102 00:05:26.480 --> 00:05:29.120 or you lose it. So we set the bar high. 103 00:05:29.120 --> 00:05:32.319 But by on in mind to run the tournament itself 104 00:05:32.439 --> 00:05:35.279 is going to be around seventy thousand, sixty thousand pounds. 105 00:05:38.319 --> 00:05:41.240 We have unfortunately had guam that are dropped out, which 106 00:05:41.279 --> 00:05:44.160 is a shame, but in the one hand, it makes 107 00:05:44.199 --> 00:05:45.680 it easier to frustrating a little bit money, so it 108 00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:48.839 does drop it slightly on the other side, it makes 109 00:05:48.839 --> 00:05:50.439 it sad that they couldn't take up because they're a 110 00:05:50.439 --> 00:05:53.480 big ally that we wanted to use. But yeah, with 111 00:05:53.560 --> 00:05:56.800 the Kickstarter we knew the figure. But at the same time, 112 00:05:56.839 --> 00:05:59.959 if you don't hit the limit is yeah, you lose 113 00:06:00.040 --> 00:06:01.839 whatever's in there. So you might be you know, five 114 00:06:02.120 --> 00:06:05.519 pound five dollars short, but you losing whatever's in there. 115 00:06:05.920 --> 00:06:07.600 So we thought, well, we're too risky to put the 116 00:06:07.600 --> 00:06:10.079 full of out. We've put twenty thousands and yeah, we 117 00:06:10.439 --> 00:06:13.439 fortunately made it, but I think we've twelve days to 118 00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:14.199 spare as well. 119 00:06:15.279 --> 00:06:20.839 And to have this kind of attention to an idea. 120 00:06:21.519 --> 00:06:24.279 How wide ranging has it been where folks have been 121 00:06:24.279 --> 00:06:28.639 able to sit there and express interest in the project? 122 00:06:28.680 --> 00:06:30.639 How many folks have been reaching out? Has your WhatsApp 123 00:06:30.680 --> 00:06:32.639 group been blowing up from all around the planet. 124 00:06:33.120 --> 00:06:35.920 Oh, honestly, honestly, Like I think we've got about ten 125 00:06:35.959 --> 00:06:39.399 new WhatsApp groups now because we self and Matt and 126 00:06:39.519 --> 00:06:41.920 just didn't have one anyway. Then we had like board ones, 127 00:06:41.920 --> 00:06:44.160 and we had ones with just a couple of people Markansas. 128 00:06:44.600 --> 00:06:46.959 Now we've got ones with people that are running it 129 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.680 in terms of setting the things up, so we you know, 130 00:06:49.680 --> 00:06:51.959 we want at certain venue, we wanted for certain times. 131 00:06:52.000 --> 00:06:54.800 We want practice at certain times for all the teams. 132 00:06:55.279 --> 00:06:57.879 But we are the other side of the world. We're 133 00:06:57.920 --> 00:07:00.600 collecting with people twelve hours ahead and also six was behind, 134 00:07:01.079 --> 00:07:04.360 so collaborating rather. So we've got Woody that's doing that 135 00:07:04.439 --> 00:07:06.319 for us. But yeah, then we've got other groups as well. 136 00:07:06.399 --> 00:07:09.279 So we've had a fortunately, had a group of I 137 00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:12.199 want to say six or seven people that have expressed 138 00:07:12.199 --> 00:07:15.680 interest in just helping with ideas and sharing it and 139 00:07:16.240 --> 00:07:18.839 they've created a new WhatsApp group. But no, it's been amazing, 140 00:07:18.959 --> 00:07:21.319 and you know, the press we've had from it has 141 00:07:21.360 --> 00:07:23.600 been has been great. As usual, We've got to keep 142 00:07:23.639 --> 00:07:26.399 the momentum going and keep the message in the in 143 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:27.160 the media from now. 144 00:07:27.199 --> 00:07:30.120 Anyway, how did you come up with Springdale as your venue? 145 00:07:32.000 --> 00:07:33.879 I can't remember if we've spoken about it before. I'm 146 00:07:33.920 --> 00:07:36.079 pretty sure we have, but I'm not sure. But yeah, 147 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:42.040 Springdale is that the the hub of non RMI based communities. 148 00:07:42.399 --> 00:07:45.279 It's the largest marsh Lease community based outside of the 149 00:07:45.319 --> 00:07:49.680 Marshal Lands itself. Whenever we've done anything in terms of 150 00:07:49.720 --> 00:07:53.920 the US based activities, women's camps, stuff like that, it's 151 00:07:53.920 --> 00:07:57.279 been in Arkansas, especially you know, mostly around Springdale, So 152 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:00.839 whenever we look at doing aties in the US, it'll 153 00:08:00.839 --> 00:08:03.560 always be based on spring Down. Now we felt that, yeah, 154 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:07.000 this is this is where we should be. We in 155 00:08:07.040 --> 00:08:08.959 a ground scheme of things. You probably look at it 156 00:08:09.000 --> 00:08:11.199 and think we wanted to be a Magoro, But for 157 00:08:11.240 --> 00:08:13.480 a first game, it was difficult to get the buy 158 00:08:13.480 --> 00:08:17.040 in from people to come to majorro being honest, because 159 00:08:17.040 --> 00:08:19.759 it's so expensive and there's a risk for them. Whereas 160 00:08:20.079 --> 00:08:22.600 we've had really good relations with common ca cafe nations. 161 00:08:23.160 --> 00:08:24.680 We reached out to a few a lot of people 162 00:08:24.720 --> 00:08:27.319 wanted to come back but couldn't quite make it work, 163 00:08:27.360 --> 00:08:29.879 but US, Virgin Islands and Turks and Kikos could And 164 00:08:30.680 --> 00:08:32.559 we felt then that, you know, the US is the 165 00:08:32.559 --> 00:08:35.440 place to be for us. So that's where we chose. 166 00:08:36.200 --> 00:08:39.000 And the for those that may not know, it's right 167 00:08:39.039 --> 00:08:42.200 there in that four Corners area where it's northwest Arkansas. 168 00:08:42.200 --> 00:08:45.080 Then if you flip and go across the border into Oklahoma, 169 00:08:45.120 --> 00:08:48.080 there's some coies that are there on the eastern side 170 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:50.559 of that border, right up there in that that cross 171 00:08:50.600 --> 00:08:57.080 section of Missouri and Kansas and Oklahoma and Arkansas and 172 00:08:57.279 --> 00:09:02.120 it looks like the venue that you maybe right now 173 00:09:02.159 --> 00:09:04.799 that is looking like it's going to be Springdale High 174 00:09:04.799 --> 00:09:06.720 School right there, right in the heart of the whole thing. 175 00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:11.639 Yeah, so it's and that's an impressive venue as well. 176 00:09:12.200 --> 00:09:16.960 It really is impressive, and yeah, we're looking forward to 177 00:09:17.000 --> 00:09:19.799 playing it. Really is amazing that like for us, you 178 00:09:19.840 --> 00:09:24.240 look at schools here any sport, it's just a field 179 00:09:24.399 --> 00:09:27.600 for you for any sport. But to play in a 180 00:09:27.679 --> 00:09:30.440 six thousand seat or six thousand capacity stadium which is 181 00:09:30.440 --> 00:09:34.440 a high school is absolutely mind blowing for us. But yeah, 182 00:09:34.480 --> 00:09:36.240 amazing in the sense that we're going to play there, 183 00:09:36.360 --> 00:09:38.240 and it only gives us inspiration when you look at 184 00:09:38.559 --> 00:09:42.759 nations like Greenland for example, with their Conker Caffe applications 185 00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.039 at the moment, and you think, yes, we are technically 186 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:48.080 that side of the world. We're in a different region, 187 00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:51.519 but we have such good political ties to the US, 188 00:09:51.840 --> 00:09:53.960 we have good transport links to the US, we have 189 00:09:54.000 --> 00:09:56.399 good relations with conquer caaff nations. Why don't we put 190 00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:59.399 on our show and see what we can do and 191 00:09:59.720 --> 00:10:01.480 see where it takes us. I guess see. 192 00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:03.759 Now that's the next step is that for the Marshall 193 00:10:03.759 --> 00:10:07.720 Islands to take on Greenland that I. 194 00:10:08.039 --> 00:10:10.440 Speak to their technical director Saur and I speak to 195 00:10:10.440 --> 00:10:12.679 say quite a lot, and he's a really good guy. 196 00:10:12.879 --> 00:10:16.440 Very similar to that story to ours, but they are 197 00:10:16.480 --> 00:10:18.639 just a little bit more advanced than us and a 198 00:10:18.679 --> 00:10:21.360 little bit further down that line. But yeah, they're they're 199 00:10:21.360 --> 00:10:25.759 coming to London in October. So I did express some interest. 200 00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:28.320 I will play you. But the downside I realized is 201 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:30.080 it doesn't give us a lot of time to raise 202 00:10:30.080 --> 00:10:31.279 the money to do it, so I don't think it 203 00:10:31.320 --> 00:10:34.039 will happen, But yeah, we'll make it happen at some point, 204 00:10:34.039 --> 00:10:34.480 I'm sure. 205 00:10:34.639 --> 00:10:37.799 Yeah, the friendlies of the Marshall Islands in Greenland. So 206 00:10:37.919 --> 00:10:40.919 if you look back to day number one when you 207 00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:44.080 dove into this project, when you and Justin and you 208 00:10:44.159 --> 00:10:47.440 all dove into this to sit there and get to 209 00:10:47.519 --> 00:10:50.399 where it is now, and I know a lot of 210 00:10:50.399 --> 00:10:51.840 folks will sit there and say, well, it's the next 211 00:10:51.919 --> 00:10:53.759 number of years. But at the same time, I'm sure 212 00:10:53.799 --> 00:10:55.200 it feels just like the other day. 213 00:10:55.080 --> 00:10:56.799 When you started, Oh it really does? 214 00:10:57.200 --> 00:11:00.440 I mean, what is what runs through your mind about 215 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:05.320 everything about where the entire soccer community has embraced the 216 00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:07.480 story and want to see you grow and want to 217 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:10.000 see the Marshall Islands represent what's it been like from 218 00:11:10.080 --> 00:11:13.240 day one and now to get to this next stage, 219 00:11:13.240 --> 00:11:15.200 in this next event coming up in ones. 220 00:11:16.919 --> 00:11:19.960 I think for us it's been trying to maintain a 221 00:11:19.960 --> 00:11:22.039 bit of level headedness and trying to make sure that 222 00:11:22.200 --> 00:11:24.399 we don't one we don't get carried away with ourselves, 223 00:11:24.399 --> 00:11:26.879 but also people don't get carried away with expectations, right 224 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:32.759 because the common theme is that people wanted to see 225 00:11:32.759 --> 00:11:35.360 the eleven to eleven games since day one, and we 226 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:37.879 realized quite quickly that wasn't going to happen because obviously, 227 00:11:39.399 --> 00:11:41.519 you know, we were starting out from fresh from scratch, 228 00:11:42.039 --> 00:11:44.480 so we needed to make sure it was sustainable. We 229 00:11:44.519 --> 00:11:46.639 needed kids playing, we needed adults playing. We needed to 230 00:11:46.679 --> 00:11:49.320 actually but this summer, for example, half the squad's not 231 00:11:49.360 --> 00:11:51.000 going to be living in the Marshall Islands. Half of 232 00:11:51.000 --> 00:11:53.600 it are Marshals people that live in different places. But 233 00:11:53.639 --> 00:11:55.720 we wouldn't have had that opportunity to do that in 234 00:11:55.759 --> 00:11:59.120 the early days. But yeah, it's just making sure that 235 00:11:59.120 --> 00:12:01.440 people stayed relevant or sorry, we stayed relevant to what 236 00:12:01.440 --> 00:12:04.240 people wanted to see. We've tried to make sure that 237 00:12:04.279 --> 00:12:07.720 we had good achievements and things we ticked off along 238 00:12:07.759 --> 00:12:10.440 the way foot sale last year being like a stepping 239 00:12:10.480 --> 00:12:13.600 stone with the international fixtures last summer, but this is 240 00:12:13.639 --> 00:12:18.600 now where people have been building towards and without naming 241 00:12:18.679 --> 00:12:21.519 names as a regional nation, which is very similar next 242 00:12:21.519 --> 00:12:23.600 door to the Marshall Islands who've tried doing something similar 243 00:12:23.600 --> 00:12:27.799 and haven't got anything close to what we've managed to do, 244 00:12:27.840 --> 00:12:29.840 which is testaments what we've been doing. But also in 245 00:12:29.879 --> 00:12:32.080 terms of a kickstart, I think that raised like six 246 00:12:32.159 --> 00:12:35.200 hundred pounds, whereas obviously we've managed to hit twenty thousand 247 00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:38.799 in two months and I think that's just down. So 248 00:12:38.840 --> 00:12:42.000 we've kept the interest flowing, but we've also kept that 249 00:12:42.879 --> 00:12:45.039 appeal of the potential of what we've got coming up, 250 00:12:45.320 --> 00:12:47.159 and we've got massive aims for what we want to 251 00:12:47.200 --> 00:12:50.120 do after this. So this is now just becoming part 252 00:12:50.159 --> 00:12:51.720 of a stepping stone and we want to make sure 253 00:12:51.759 --> 00:12:52.840 it's a good one for us. 254 00:12:53.080 --> 00:12:55.159 Lloyd Aros, technical Director of the Marshall arl On Tzacer 255 00:12:55.240 --> 00:12:58.200 Federation Bett and leader here this morning because he's fighting 256 00:12:58.240 --> 00:13:01.000 allergies and I know that that we have. When you 257 00:13:01.159 --> 00:13:03.559 duck your camera out, I know that's when you're fighting 258 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:08.000 to dial it back in. It's like, Okay, he's going 259 00:13:08.080 --> 00:13:09.799 to ask a question and turn my camera off and 260 00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:11.600 I got to fix something and then I'll come right back. 261 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:15.000 I know exactly that feelings cool. When was the last 262 00:13:15.000 --> 00:13:17.039 time you were on the island and helping out on 263 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:18.000 futsal and everything? 264 00:13:18.440 --> 00:13:20.720 February? So yeah, a couple of moms go down. 265 00:13:20.840 --> 00:13:23.480 So what was what was it like back on the 266 00:13:23.519 --> 00:13:25.159 island last time you were there with all of the 267 00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:27.679 footstal and getting everybody acclimated to all of that. What 268 00:13:27.759 --> 00:13:28.519 was your last trip like? 269 00:13:29.799 --> 00:13:31.720 Yeah, it was really good, to be honest, it was 270 00:13:31.759 --> 00:13:34.200 different because the first time I went out, it was 271 00:13:34.200 --> 00:13:38.399 a case of trying to uh just work out what 272 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:40.919 was going to happen, what was the layer of the land. 273 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:44.840 The second time was more around the tournament of footsalth tournament. 274 00:13:44.879 --> 00:13:48.799 The third time was more around coach education, but also 275 00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:52.440 see another islands. So Madro was good because it allowed 276 00:13:52.519 --> 00:13:54.039 us to see the same people we keep seeing, but 277 00:13:54.120 --> 00:13:56.480 also how they develop it. But then we had the 278 00:13:56.559 --> 00:13:58.879 chance to go to Quadline obviously the home of the 279 00:13:58.960 --> 00:14:03.240 US military base, but uniting Quadaline the under the Soccer 280 00:14:03.279 --> 00:14:08.240 Federation banner and in e by as well. Is an 281 00:14:08.320 --> 00:14:14.399 interesting place there we goes tactical. The EVA is an 282 00:14:14.440 --> 00:14:16.120 interesting place in the sense of it's one of the 283 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:20.759 most poverty stricken places in the world. It's the sixth 284 00:14:20.879 --> 00:14:26.639 largest or sorry sick, most condensed population in the world. 285 00:14:27.720 --> 00:14:30.159 You've got around twenty thousand people living in like three 286 00:14:30.159 --> 00:14:34.279 square miles. Wow. And it was eye opening because there 287 00:14:34.360 --> 00:14:38.879 is just nothing it. Poverty is probably is key you're king, 288 00:14:39.399 --> 00:14:42.360 and it's crazy to think that because the twenty minute 289 00:14:42.360 --> 00:14:45.960 boat right away, you've got Quadline which has everything you 290 00:14:46.039 --> 00:14:48.039 have an hour away by flight you've got Maduro, which 291 00:14:48.080 --> 00:14:52.399 is obviously in between the two. So it's yeah, it 292 00:14:52.440 --> 00:14:54.200 was eye opening that sense. But the good thing for 293 00:14:54.320 --> 00:14:56.960 us was seeing how we could help there. We've got 294 00:14:56.960 --> 00:15:01.720 sessions happening there now, so yeah, it's a different trip 295 00:15:01.759 --> 00:15:04.000 in the sense of it was more around uniting different 296 00:15:04.039 --> 00:15:06.279 areas rather than just the technical side. But on the 297 00:15:06.279 --> 00:15:10.679 technical side we realized people play a little good Quadleene 298 00:15:10.679 --> 00:15:15.679 played against majurow footsal and outdoor, and that's where we've 299 00:15:16.039 --> 00:15:18.600 managed to use a bit of a recruitment strategy for 300 00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:19.679 this summer's games as well. 301 00:15:20.360 --> 00:15:23.879 What's it been like for you and for everyone attached 302 00:15:23.879 --> 00:15:26.519 to the project to try and unite each and every 303 00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:29.200 island in the chain that you've been touching with. What's 304 00:15:29.200 --> 00:15:31.120 it been like to try that, to have that unifier it. 305 00:15:33.159 --> 00:15:35.600 In terms of having Quadleene on board. 306 00:15:35.440 --> 00:15:39.159 Yeah, qua you know eby Quadleen Madiro. 307 00:15:40.960 --> 00:15:44.360 Well, because Quadlene has always had some form of soccer 308 00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:47.440 going on. They've had a soccer season for I don't 309 00:15:47.480 --> 00:15:49.919 even know how long in terms of a two month season, 310 00:15:50.559 --> 00:15:54.919 but it's it's very very well organized, very well structured. 311 00:15:54.960 --> 00:15:58.000 But once soccer season's done, it moves onto the next sport, 312 00:15:58.000 --> 00:15:59.559 the next sport, the next sport. It just goes around. 313 00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.720 But we also realize because that's happening, there will be 314 00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:05.919 players that have either playing at a decent level because 315 00:16:05.960 --> 00:16:09.159 it's competitive, but also they've probably come into Quajalin from 316 00:16:09.200 --> 00:16:11.320 somewhere else. They probably have a soccer background and there 317 00:16:11.360 --> 00:16:12.639 are a lot of people that live there that have 318 00:16:12.679 --> 00:16:15.039 been there for years. Kids have grown up on Ireland. 319 00:16:15.519 --> 00:16:18.080 So for example, this summer we've got players from Quadline 320 00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:20.720 who have been on Quajalen or in the Marsh Islands 321 00:16:20.759 --> 00:16:24.559 in general for twenty years, but have also got players 322 00:16:24.600 --> 00:16:28.440 that are young but we're born in the Marshall Islands 323 00:16:28.480 --> 00:16:30.120 and have grown up in the marsh Islands and are 324 00:16:30.120 --> 00:16:32.840 living on Quadaline. And yeah, it allows us to open 325 00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:34.600 up that player, Paul, but it also allows us to 326 00:16:34.600 --> 00:16:36.720 do more things and more opportunities for the guys from 327 00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.919 major roys go and play there and vice versa. 328 00:16:39.480 --> 00:16:42.360 What about the idea of of unifying all of these 329 00:16:42.399 --> 00:16:47.240 different communities in socioeconomic backgrounds where you go from poverty, 330 00:16:47.799 --> 00:16:50.440 you know, you go from poverty to an island that's 331 00:16:50.480 --> 00:16:52.519 got pretty much everything to the one that's in the middle. 332 00:16:52.559 --> 00:16:54.720 As you're talking about, what's it like to unite these 333 00:16:54.799 --> 00:16:57.919 three groups together through the sport of football. 334 00:16:58.320 --> 00:17:00.480 Yeah, I think that's always been a game sorry our 335 00:17:00.519 --> 00:17:03.360 aim as well in this game, because we've always said 336 00:17:03.399 --> 00:17:05.960 that our aim is to unite communities regardless of where 337 00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:09.519 they are, for Marshal's people around around the world. We 338 00:17:09.559 --> 00:17:13.960 had players from Masuro who hadn't left Maduro before and 339 00:17:14.000 --> 00:17:15.359 one of them was saying to me like, oh, this 340 00:17:15.440 --> 00:17:17.240 is the best weekend of my life. And you're thinking 341 00:17:18.039 --> 00:17:20.839 you've only gone to Quajalin and it's but it is 342 00:17:20.880 --> 00:17:24.400 like night and day. And then so seeing the opportunities 343 00:17:24.400 --> 00:17:27.759 that we're given through the sport is unbelievable. But hopefully 344 00:17:27.799 --> 00:17:29.359 that's something that we can just build on in the 345 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.559 future as well. But like this summer, for example, we've 346 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:35.680 got yeah, players from quaj Leine, players from Madro, players 347 00:17:35.680 --> 00:17:38.400 from the US or a mainland US based We've also 348 00:17:38.440 --> 00:17:40.640 got a couple of Marshal Lease players that are marshal 349 00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:44.079 Lea's but live in Germany. And so the difference then 350 00:17:44.200 --> 00:17:48.720 is even broader because it's you know, even for the 351 00:17:48.759 --> 00:17:51.400 guys that are US based compared to the European based, 352 00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:53.960 they've still grown up in a different way, different style 353 00:17:54.000 --> 00:17:57.039 of playing the game, and cultural beliefs, whatever it may be. 354 00:17:57.119 --> 00:18:00.680 It's going to be interesting to unite those different backgrounds 355 00:18:00.720 --> 00:18:03.279 and cultures. Anyway, he has one group. 356 00:18:03.599 --> 00:18:06.599 What's it like to get notifications? How does that happen? 357 00:18:06.680 --> 00:18:08.559 It's like, yes, I live in Germany and I'm of 358 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.160 Marshall's descent. How does that work? How does that happen? 359 00:18:13.119 --> 00:18:18.240 So prior to the US links to the Marshall Islands, 360 00:18:19.319 --> 00:18:22.759 it was like a German occupation. A lot of marsh 361 00:18:22.799 --> 00:18:24.759 LEAs have ended up in Germany over the years. Over 362 00:18:24.759 --> 00:18:28.200 the years, and then one guy reached out to us 363 00:18:28.240 --> 00:18:31.599 saying on Instagram, I think saying look I'm marsh Lee's 364 00:18:31.640 --> 00:18:34.559 I play soccer or a football's I think. And it 365 00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:36.559 was like, right, okay, but we get a lot of 366 00:18:36.599 --> 00:18:38.920 messages from people saying I want to play for the 367 00:18:38.920 --> 00:18:41.400 marshal Lions, but they're not marshal Le's. But this guy 368 00:18:41.480 --> 00:18:43.359 was adamant. I was like, look, if you can prove 369 00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:46.960 you are marshal Le's, got brilliant. So he did. He 370 00:18:47.000 --> 00:18:49.240 went away, he came back with birth certificates with his 371 00:18:49.319 --> 00:18:53.640 grandparents and right, okay, fair enough, but he's only seventeen, 372 00:18:54.240 --> 00:18:58.680 but he plays in the German fourth Division. And then 373 00:18:58.720 --> 00:19:01.519 from him he found another guy that is also seventy, 374 00:19:02.440 --> 00:19:05.480 also has Marshley's grandparents, who also plays in the German 375 00:19:05.519 --> 00:19:08.119 fourth Division. So we're like, okay, fair enough. So and 376 00:19:08.119 --> 00:19:12.480 then there was another one who is in Surbia who 377 00:19:12.519 --> 00:19:17.319 is marsh Ley's but can't play this summer, will be 378 00:19:17.319 --> 00:19:20.160 available for future games after that. But yeah, it's unbelievable 379 00:19:20.160 --> 00:19:23.160 how these different people just keep popping up from different places. 380 00:19:23.400 --> 00:19:26.480 All right, So what's next on the board to get 381 00:19:26.559 --> 00:19:29.359 ready for August in Arkansas? What can folks do? How 382 00:19:29.400 --> 00:19:31.559 can they help out. Just because you've hit the marker 383 00:19:31.599 --> 00:19:34.359 and the Kickstarter project doesn't mean that they should stop. 384 00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:37.200 No, no, no, So we've got twelve d eleven days 385 00:19:37.279 --> 00:19:39.240 left I think now with the Kickstarter, So if that 386 00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:42.000 can keep rising, brilliant because it just allows us to 387 00:19:42.000 --> 00:19:44.759 do more. But yeah, the next thing is if people 388 00:19:44.759 --> 00:19:49.839 are listening from companies who might want a media promotion 389 00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:54.920 in terms of worldwide media, social media, the branding opportunity, 390 00:19:55.119 --> 00:19:58.319 just community relations, doing something good for the community, then 391 00:19:58.359 --> 00:20:01.079 get in touch because we've got loads of for sponsorship 392 00:20:01.079 --> 00:20:04.440 packages ranging from I think it ranges from two thousand 393 00:20:04.519 --> 00:20:09.240 dollars to sixty thousand dollars, so it's endless opportunities to 394 00:20:09.240 --> 00:20:09.880 get involved. 395 00:20:10.160 --> 00:20:12.279 As always, my friend, it's great to see you. I 396 00:20:12.319 --> 00:20:16.279 know that we're both fighting. I know we're both fighting allergies. 397 00:20:15.799 --> 00:20:18.720 And that's suck, but appreciate it. 398 00:20:19.079 --> 00:20:21.359 You know that you got the keys to the kingdom. 399 00:20:21.400 --> 00:20:23.319 You can come in anytime.

Fantastic that you 403 00:20:30.920 --> 00:20:32.880 made the marker on the Kickstarter. I know that it's 404 00:20:32.960 --> 00:20:35.000 just the beginning of everything and looking forward to seeing 405 00:20:35.000 --> 00:20:37.160 you in August and Arkansas, my friend. Thanks for dropping out, 406 00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:39.599 Thank you for having us appreciate it all right. Lloyd Auers, 407 00:20:39.599 --> 00:20:44.079 technical director of the Marshall Island Soccer Federation, dropping by. So, yes, Joe, 408 00:20:44.079 --> 00:20:45.880 So I'm gonna do the screen sharing thing that I 409 00:20:45.880 --> 00:20:49.279 did yesterday just to let you know what's going on 410 00:20:49.319 --> 00:20:51.079 and you can kind of see it, and I'll navigate 411 00:20:51.160 --> 00:20:55.960 through the U the Kickstarter project for you just so 412 00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:58.440 you can see what's going on and let you know. So, 413 00:20:58.640 --> 00:21:02.720 all right, they they cleared it's twenty six thousand US, 414 00:21:02.759 --> 00:21:07.319 so it's like twenty thousand pounds, and so let's see that. 415 00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:13.160 Did that? Now? Screen share and here we go. So 416 00:21:13.279 --> 00:21:18.240 let me share what you're staring at. And so there's 417 00:21:18.319 --> 00:21:21.599 the project in and of itself. And so once again 418 00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:26.480 there's the marker. They made the marker, and right there 419 00:21:27.160 --> 00:21:30.880 is the twenty six five ninety eight US and so 420 00:21:31.000 --> 00:21:33.839 that's what they made eleven days to go on the project. 421 00:21:33.920 --> 00:21:35.519 And then they sit there and they break the whole 422 00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:38.359 thing down like we've been following, you know, each and 423 00:21:38.400 --> 00:21:41.279 every time. And so then you end up with a 424 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:44.160 bunch of different updates and everything. And so here is 425 00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.160 once again how you can help out at least just 426 00:21:47.279 --> 00:21:52.279 start Springdale, Arkansas.

But once again talking about risks and challenges 431 00:22:05.039 --> 00:22:07.039 in the FAQ and all those kinds of things. But 432 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:11.599 so and here's the rewards.

Yes, we'll be there. 460 00:23:41.319 --> 00:23:43.319 I know it's the beginning of high school football season 461 00:23:43.359 --> 00:23:48.200 here in Georgia, but it is, by the way, it's 462 00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:51.000 a really cool moment that you really I think can 463 00:23:51.039 --> 00:23:54.599 only have like once in a lifetime. So that's the 464 00:23:54.599 --> 00:23:57.319 cool stuff.

That's when the tournament, the Outrigger 467 00:24:03.119 --> 00:24:07.279 Challenge Cup is gonna happen, and it's gonna be fun 468 00:24:07.359 --> 00:24:12.359 to see how it's received there in Arkansas as the 469 00:24:12.400 --> 00:24:15.200 next stage of this for the Marshall Island Soccer Federation. 470 00:24:15.319 --> 00:24:17.000 So once again, very very cool that we were able 471 00:24:17.000 --> 00:24:19.880 to grab Lloyd through his hay fever and his allergies 472 00:24:19.880 --> 00:24:22.400 to talk about what's going on this morning. So Lloyd 473 00:24:22.400 --> 00:24:26.359 hour's bat and lead off. They made their number. So 474 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:29.640 once again you still got sponsorship opportunities if you know 475 00:24:29.680 --> 00:24:33.400 anybody that is looking to grow the beautiful game and 476 00:24:33.599 --> 00:24:35.200 you can reach out to them and you can be 477 00:24:35.359 --> 00:24:37.359 you know, hey, title sponsor the whole thing and it's 478 00:24:37.359 --> 00:24:40.039 taken care of and the goodwill that's attached would be 479 00:24:40.039 --> 00:24:42.920 absolutely amazing. So there you go. Great to catch up 480 00:24:42.920 --> 00:24:46.160 with Lloyd as always and find out what's the latest, 481 00:24:46.200 --> 00:24:49.039 because like I said, I was debating which jersey to wear, 482 00:24:49.079 --> 00:24:50.640 and that's the other thing. You go to the store 483 00:24:51.599 --> 00:24:55.079 and you could really go to the poorhouse. Legitimately you 484 00:24:55.079 --> 00:24:58.000 could go to the poorhouse, but it's for a good cause. 485 00:24:58.440 --> 00:25:00.799 And so we've been keep an eye on them from 486 00:25:00.839 --> 00:25:04.359 the absolute beginning. We are you know obviously that we're 487 00:25:05.160 --> 00:25:07.039 in in for a penny, in for a pound, and 488 00:25:07.119 --> 00:25:09.599 in for our dumping our wallet upside down, and just 489 00:25:09.640 --> 00:25:12.359 making sure that they continue to get all the the 490 00:25:12.480 --> 00:25:16.119 great publicity as the story continues to go involving the 491 00:25:16.480 --> 00:25:19.480 Marshall Island Soccer Federation as they continue to grow once again. 492 00:25:19.799 --> 00:25:23.440 August fourteen through sixteen, Springdale, Arkansas, Springdale High School, they 493 00:25:23.480 --> 00:25:27.039 made their Kickstarter number, But that doesn't mean you got 494 00:25:27.079 --> 00:25:29.519 to stop, because there's a lot of stuff that has 495 00:25:29.559 --> 00:25:32.680 to be done between now and August for infrastructure and 496 00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:34.640 all that kind of stuff. So it's three months out 497 00:25:35.279 --> 00:25:38.680 and so that's the next stage is trying to get 498 00:25:38.680 --> 00:25:43.119 everything organized there in Springdale for the entire gathering there 499 00:25:44.279 --> 00:25:47.200 for the twenty twenty five Outrigger Challenge cups, so very 500 00:25:47.319 --> 00:25:50.720 very cool stuff there and catching up with Lloyd. So Hi, 501 00:25:50.839 --> 00:25:54.680 good morning.

Soccer is 650 00:34:03.519 --> 00:34:07.720 in Session live presented by our friends at Kaiser Permanente. 651 00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:12.599 We have coaches and brackets and things and stuff because 652 00:34:12.719 --> 00:34:17.599 yesterday it was all of the girl's action that broke 653 00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:20.639 itself down to get you ready for the semifinals on 654 00:34:20.679 --> 00:34:25.320 the eighth. And there's only one match I think that 655 00:34:25.480 --> 00:34:29.079 is in play and it's Hebron Christian hosting Holy Innocence. 656 00:34:29.119 --> 00:34:31.079 That one is tonight at seven thirty is a part 657 00:34:31.119 --> 00:34:34.679 of a double header at Hebren Christian. But we do 658 00:34:34.800 --> 00:34:38.239 know everyone else. We know everyone else that is getting 659 00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:42.559 together on the eighth in the semifinals for the girls, 660 00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:45.679 and we will be hearing i think from Shaun Guillery 661 00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:47.519 at noon, the head coach at Jackson as he gets 662 00:34:47.559 --> 00:34:50.679 ready on a match day on the boy's side, and 663 00:34:50.719 --> 00:34:52.199 we'll see if we can catch up with our friends 664 00:34:52.239 --> 00:34:55.320 from Pike County as well and find out about that 665 00:34:55.400 --> 00:35:00.000 tonight in Dalton. It is our matchup with Saint Pots 666 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:03.960 in Dalton, so we'll be on a little beforehand. I 667 00:35:03.960 --> 00:35:06.800 think it's a six o'clock kick. Don't quote me yet, 668 00:35:07.840 --> 00:35:16.960 and so is it a six o'clock kick tonight? Let's 669 00:35:16.960 --> 00:35:25.119 see Dalton Catamount Soccer April the eighteenth. No, no, it's 670 00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:29.679 too far back. And no, I don't want to find 671 00:35:29.679 --> 00:35:33.400 out about who's you? What's it's Harry Kane because what 672 00:35:33.440 --> 00:35:36.800 does Harry Kane have to do with Dalton? Nothing? Okay, 673 00:35:36.800 --> 00:35:38.960 So let's go to the other side, Saint Pius Soccer. 674 00:35:39.039 --> 00:35:43.440 Let's see if we can find out. Okay, So Saint Pius. 675 00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:50.519 So Saint Pius Boys Saturday Saturday Saturday, sharp says the 676 00:35:50.519 --> 00:35:52.599 East Dyte. How old is that? That's the twenty eighth, 677 00:35:52.679 --> 00:35:56.159 No wonder, okay, So it is Saint Pius at Dalton 678 00:35:56.280 --> 00:36:00.599 is number one, at number three, at number one, and 679 00:36:00.679 --> 00:36:03.360 that is going on. Six point thirty is the start time, 680 00:36:03.440 --> 00:36:06.119 So six point fifteen will be on with the pregame 681 00:36:06.119 --> 00:36:08.159 show to get you through your brackets and get you started. 682 00:36:08.199 --> 00:36:11.320 On the evening six thirty kick at Chapel Harmon, so 683 00:36:11.440 --> 00:36:14.360 Saint Pius can get out of the city and not 684 00:36:14.559 --> 00:36:17.920 be stuck in traffic. So it is Saint Pius at 685 00:36:18.000 --> 00:36:20.440 Dalton on the boy's side, number three at number one 686 00:36:21.039 --> 00:36:25.920 in the classification six point fifteen pregame six thirty kick 687 00:36:26.719 --> 00:36:29.239 and we will keep you posted on everything going on there. 688 00:36:29.320 --> 00:36:31.039 We are still trying to figure out where we are 689 00:36:31.079 --> 00:36:34.960 going to be on Thursday. We won't know Friday until 690 00:36:34.960 --> 00:36:39.320 tonight and if you follow it along on social media, 691 00:36:39.400 --> 00:36:44.360 yesterday it was it was let known that to Tino 692 00:36:44.360 --> 00:36:47.599 Hernandez's time at Calhoun is done after four seasons. And 693 00:36:47.679 --> 00:36:52.719 so there's a picture of Bama and Tino on their 694 00:36:52.760 --> 00:36:55.639 Facebook account. And after the match is over and the 695 00:36:55.639 --> 00:36:57.639 two to one loss to Johnson, it was announced that 696 00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:02.639 Tino Hernandez is leaving Calhoun. And it has been really 697 00:37:02.679 --> 00:37:06.239 cool to see what he has been able to do 698 00:37:06.679 --> 00:37:09.000 with that program as a part of that program over 699 00:37:09.039 --> 00:37:12.400 the last handful of years. So Tino Hernandez is leaving 700 00:37:12.599 --> 00:37:16.079 the program at Calhoun and we can't wait to see 701 00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:18.159 the next steps and stages as to what's going on 702 00:37:18.239 --> 00:37:20.559 up there with the Yellow Jackets. But Johnson Gainesville, by 703 00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:23.400 the way, Johnson Gainesville has the quick turn. They are 704 00:37:23.440 --> 00:37:27.519 playing tonight. So we mentioned going and playing three matches 705 00:37:27.519 --> 00:37:30.440 in a week just to get to the finals. Johnson 706 00:37:30.440 --> 00:37:34.880 Gainesville's in the first step of that. Johnson Gainswell's going 707 00:37:34.920 --> 00:37:37.719 up against Chestity tonight, and I think it's a seven 708 00:37:37.920 --> 00:37:40.360 thirty start, but at least you're not having to travel 709 00:37:40.360 --> 00:37:42.760 from one end of the state to the other. And 710 00:37:42.840 --> 00:37:45.920 so what you can traditionally do is have conversations in 711 00:37:46.000 --> 00:37:48.360 weeks that are compressed like this and sit there and go, well, 712 00:37:48.400 --> 00:37:52.159 can we push it back chess Toit was like no 713 00:37:53.360 --> 00:37:57.280 after the discussions, and so Johnson Gainsville and Chessity, Johnson 714 00:37:57.320 --> 00:37:59.320 gains Will on a quick turn after having played fifty 715 00:37:59.320 --> 00:38:04.159 two minutes aside, they had to drive back and play today. 716 00:38:04.679 --> 00:38:06.519 And so that's what Johnson Gainesville is doing in the 717 00:38:06.519 --> 00:38:09.280 matchup with Chessity, and so that is going to be 718 00:38:09.360 --> 00:38:12.719 tonight on the boys' side to get them caught up 719 00:38:13.119 --> 00:38:14.760 so they can The winner of that one gets to 720 00:38:14.800 --> 00:38:17.360 play on Friday. So literally it could be three matches 721 00:38:17.400 --> 00:38:21.079 in five days. For Johnson Gainesville, for the winner of 722 00:38:21.079 --> 00:38:24.320 Seawan Ringold, and for the winner of Jenkins and Northwest 723 00:38:24.320 --> 00:38:27.480 Whitfield to make it to the final. That's what you're 724 00:38:27.480 --> 00:38:29.599 getting into on the high school side. So at noon 725 00:38:29.639 --> 00:38:32.239 will go through all your brackets and catch up with 726 00:38:32.360 --> 00:38:34.880 the coaches and let you know what's going on in 727 00:38:34.880 --> 00:38:37.679 and around the State of Georgia with Soccer's in Session 728 00:38:37.679 --> 00:38:42.199 Playoff Daily Live presented by our friends at Kaiser Permanente tomorrow. 729 00:38:42.320 --> 00:38:45.599 On that show, Heather Richardson, the head coach at Social 730 00:38:45.639 --> 00:38:48.239 Circle on the girls side, because Wednesday's the off day 731 00:38:48.320 --> 00:38:52.400 or the makeup day. So if you play on Monday, 732 00:38:52.440 --> 00:38:54.639 if you're a girls a team and a quarters, you're 733 00:38:54.679 --> 00:38:58.960 playing on Thursday in theory in the semifinals, So Wednesday 734 00:38:59.119 --> 00:39:01.559 is your transition from Tuesday Friday. So it looks like 735 00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:04.440 Heather Richardson is going to be there from a Social 736 00:39:04.440 --> 00:39:06.400 Circle on the girls side. Megan Hill, the head coach 737 00:39:06.400 --> 00:39:08.719 from Buford. Buford had a big win last night, you 738 00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:11.440 heard that one on the network of one nil win 739 00:39:11.519 --> 00:39:15.440 number four versus number five nationally to get to the 740 00:39:15.480 --> 00:39:21.840 semi finals. And you're playing West for Site three of 741 00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:26.400 the top five teams in the country are on the 742 00:39:26.519 --> 00:39:29.400 right hand side of the bracket and six A girls, 743 00:39:29.960 --> 00:39:33.280 So that's what you're staring at. You know, it is 744 00:39:33.480 --> 00:39:37.280 rapid fire, and you end up with like three, four 745 00:39:37.320 --> 00:39:42.000 and five nationally in one place because of the rotation 746 00:39:42.079 --> 00:39:44.159 of the brackets and not because of power rankings or anything, 747 00:39:44.159 --> 00:39:46.639 but because of the rotation of the brackets and the 748 00:39:46.679 --> 00:39:50.360 regions that you play, you end up with all of 749 00:39:51.199 --> 00:39:53.400 that going on on the right hand side of the bracket. 750 00:39:53.440 --> 00:39:55.760 And so it is murderer's row trying to get out 751 00:39:56.119 --> 00:39:57.840 of the right hand side just to make it to 752 00:39:57.880 --> 00:40:01.760 the final West for si up er right. Last night, 753 00:40:01.880 --> 00:40:04.880 number four, number five nationally playing each other at Buford 754 00:40:05.159 --> 00:40:08.480 packed house by the way of about twelve hundred there 755 00:40:08.519 --> 00:40:11.159 at one of the the American football practice fields that 756 00:40:11.199 --> 00:40:15.519 doubles as either a lacrosse or a soccer field otherwise. 757 00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:18.280 But yeah, you had it was a packed house. Brookwood 758 00:40:18.320 --> 00:40:21.239 was there. Great season. I know that it ended soon, 759 00:40:21.440 --> 00:40:24.280 sooner than the doctor Mike Tolmack and the Broncos would 760 00:40:24.280 --> 00:40:29.000 have liked. But and it's probably also screams for power rankings. 761 00:40:30.360 --> 00:40:35.000 But number four versus number five nationally in a quarterfinal. 762 00:40:37.559 --> 00:40:40.480 Then you still have another top five national matchup in 763 00:40:40.519 --> 00:40:42.760 the semi final to get you to the final out 764 00:40:42.760 --> 00:40:45.119 of the right hand side and six eight girls crazy, 765 00:40:45.920 --> 00:40:48.000 But no, we were there for that last night. So 766 00:40:48.199 --> 00:40:50.960 it is Aaron Paul also joining tomorrow at twelve forty 767 00:40:51.480 --> 00:40:53.960 and we might have to just do ten minutes with 768 00:40:54.039 --> 00:40:55.920 coaches and go rapid fire for that one on the 769 00:40:55.920 --> 00:40:57.559 off day, because I don't know how many coaches are 770 00:40:57.559 --> 00:41:01.679 going to want to join on a match day, especially 771 00:41:01.719 --> 00:41:03.519 if it's a semi final match day. But we'll see 772 00:41:03.559 --> 00:41:05.599 what we can come up with. So today it looks 773 00:41:05.639 --> 00:41:07.920 like we're going to Jackson at noon, and we might 774 00:41:07.920 --> 00:41:10.079 be going to Zebulin, it might be going to a 775 00:41:10.079 --> 00:41:13.679 couple of other places. But tomorrow soccer's in session is 776 00:41:13.679 --> 00:41:16.559 Social Circle Buford, Morgan County, and we'll have that for 777 00:41:16.599 --> 00:41:20.880 you tomorrow on the network. All right, So it's a 778 00:41:20.960 --> 00:41:23.960 quarter tilt, and so why don't we do this morning, 779 00:41:23.960 --> 00:41:27.559 Lowville morning morning? All right, So let's do this. Let's 780 00:41:27.599 --> 00:41:30.880 go through the rest of the week in Major League Soccer, 781 00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:33.559 and if there's anything else left on your mind from 782 00:41:33.679 --> 00:41:37.639 Atlanta United and Nashville, lay it all out. Because we 783 00:41:37.679 --> 00:41:39.760 had the conversation yesterday. I wanted to start it and 784 00:41:39.800 --> 00:41:43.079 I wanted to let everybody say what's on their mind 785 00:41:43.440 --> 00:41:46.000 and we can talk about it and push forward. But 786 00:41:46.079 --> 00:41:48.199 let's get into what happened. So the rest of the show, 787 00:41:48.639 --> 00:41:50.320 we'll go through what happened in the rest of the 788 00:41:50.320 --> 00:41:53.480 weekend in Major League Soccer, we'll go through Open Cup, 789 00:41:53.719 --> 00:41:55.119 and we'll go through the news of the day and 790 00:41:55.159 --> 00:41:57.199 get you ready for everything going on. By the way, 791 00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:01.039 if if you like to get your news a little earlier, 792 00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:03.480 you can always get the morning Espresso from our friends 793 00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:06.480 at Oglethorpe University and our buddy Jason Longshore. You might 794 00:42:06.519 --> 00:42:09.320 know Jason. Jason gets through all of the am news 795 00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:12.000 that comes across his desk and you can subscribe for that. 796 00:42:12.280 --> 00:42:15.960 You can you can get that in newsletter form. You 797 00:42:15.960 --> 00:42:17.719 can get that in video form you can watch on 798 00:42:17.760 --> 00:42:21.199 the SDH network YouTube channel, or you can get it 799 00:42:21.239 --> 00:42:23.199 in podcast form. If you believe in audio and you 800 00:42:23.239 --> 00:42:25.239 just want to listen to Jason, like you're driving into work, 801 00:42:25.320 --> 00:42:27.920 you get your morning espresso. There so a couple different 802 00:42:27.920 --> 00:42:30.159 ways that you can get your morning espresso with Jason. 803 00:42:30.440 --> 00:42:34.400 Brought to us by our friends at Oglethorpe University. And 804 00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:38.039 so you've got that, and he's got his fifteen to 805 00:42:38.079 --> 00:42:40.480 twenty minutes worth of news. Here we go through a 806 00:42:40.480 --> 00:42:42.119 little bit more in depth as we always do. So 807 00:42:42.199 --> 00:42:43.599 let's go through the rest of the weekend in Major 808 00:42:43.639 --> 00:42:45.559 League Soccer. And like I said, if there's anything that 809 00:42:45.679 --> 00:42:48.360 is hanging over your heads from Atlanta United in Nashville, 810 00:42:48.519 --> 00:42:54.800 we got that too. Now we could work backward and 811 00:42:54.880 --> 00:42:58.559 we could really talk about what in the wide world 812 00:42:58.599 --> 00:43:02.679 of sports is going on in Los Angeles. And I'm 813 00:43:02.679 --> 00:43:08.239 not necessarily meaning LAFC, considering that that LAFC kind of 814 00:43:08.840 --> 00:43:12.199 you know, they they're they're doing their own thing. But 815 00:43:12.639 --> 00:43:15.880 you have open Cup tonight. We'll get into those numbers, 816 00:43:16.480 --> 00:43:18.400 we'll get into juice boxes and let you know what's 817 00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:20.800 going on there. But last week in Major League Soccer, 818 00:43:20.880 --> 00:43:25.960 last weekend, New England beats Toronto to nil? Was it 819 00:43:26.199 --> 00:43:29.119 something as simple as a formation changed for Caleb Porter 820 00:43:30.440 --> 00:43:33.079 carlos Hel once again continue to do carlos Hel things. 821 00:43:33.719 --> 00:43:37.440 But we'll go over the standings in a bit. But 822 00:43:37.599 --> 00:43:41.239 if you look at Toronto, I mean, by all accounts 823 00:43:41.360 --> 00:43:44.920 and across the board, Robin Fraser is regarded as a 824 00:43:45.000 --> 00:43:51.440 fantastic guy and a great coach. But Robin Fraser right 825 00:43:51.480 --> 00:43:56.000 now is in a really rough situation in Toronto. Toronto 826 00:43:56.480 --> 00:44:03.480 is stuck, stuck with on tracks and trying to get 827 00:44:03.480 --> 00:44:06.519 out of them. Maybe it happens in the summer window, 828 00:44:11.039 --> 00:44:14.320 but we'll see right now, Toronto's in a world of 829 00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:20.840 hurt and they are in a world of hurt. Columbus 830 00:44:20.920 --> 00:44:26.440 beats Charlotte by the score of four to two. We'll 831 00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:29.840 get into the post match with Charlotte in a bit. 832 00:44:31.440 --> 00:44:36.320 Chambois and Rossi scored to make it two nil. Zahg 833 00:44:36.360 --> 00:44:39.119 scored from the spot to make it two to one. 834 00:44:39.360 --> 00:44:41.320 Azy Jackson scored to make it three to one. A 835 00:44:41.360 --> 00:44:43.440 bottomate it three to two, Jason Russell row made it 836 00:44:43.480 --> 00:44:46.800 four two, and that was your final. So you've got 837 00:44:48.239 --> 00:44:57.920 those kind of numbers that are being shown by uh 838 00:44:58.280 --> 00:45:02.920 Charlotte on the road, and it is getting to a 839 00:45:03.119 --> 00:45:12.039 point where you're wondering, you know, with with pet Bl 840 00:45:12.159 --> 00:45:18.000 and what pet Bl means to this bunch. And so 841 00:45:18.119 --> 00:45:22.159 you look at all of the all of the action. 842 00:45:22.360 --> 00:45:25.559 Pet Bl is back in rehab as of yesterday. He's 843 00:45:25.599 --> 00:45:27.719 not going to risk him for Open Cup, but hopeful 844 00:45:27.840 --> 00:45:36.960 he is back Saturday for the for the matchup, and 845 00:45:37.000 --> 00:45:42.599 there are folks that are somewhat concerned. It's like, well, yes, 846 00:45:42.679 --> 00:45:45.039 the XG is up if you believe in XG, but 847 00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:50.400 at the same time, what you're conceding is still on 848 00:45:50.480 --> 00:45:57.480 the increase, and so that I think is probably one 849 00:45:57.480 --> 00:45:59.760 of the things that you're staring at if you are 850 00:46:01.800 --> 00:46:08.320 if you're Charlotte, Dean Smith asked after the match on 851 00:46:08.480 --> 00:46:12.119 Wolf's saha, I thought he was okay tonight. Dean Smith 852 00:46:12.119 --> 00:46:14.079 said he hadn't played regularly for a year. It's gonna 853 00:46:14.119 --> 00:46:16.199 take time, said, It's a competitive league, so it's gonna 854 00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:23.320 take time to adjust. Also mention that pundits sometimes criticized prematurely, 855 00:46:26.000 --> 00:46:28.960 So that's where Dean Smith is. After a four to 856 00:46:29.000 --> 00:46:41.000 two loss against Columbus, pundits somehow criticized prematurely. Christian Collina. 857 00:46:41.159 --> 00:46:44.280 You know, once again you're looking at bailing bailing folks out. 858 00:46:44.360 --> 00:46:48.880 Collina is really good at that. Charlotte drops to fifth 859 00:46:48.920 --> 00:46:53.199 in the East. Bielle was out in the match, so 860 00:46:53.280 --> 00:47:00.440 you got to see what he means. Jaquille Marshall Ruddy, 861 00:47:01.320 --> 00:47:04.519 which I thought was a really sneaky good pickup if 862 00:47:04.519 --> 00:47:10.480 he's used properly. On loan from Montreal, came in right 863 00:47:10.519 --> 00:47:14.519 back and played for the final thirty minutes. Tim Reim 864 00:47:14.679 --> 00:47:21.199 is regarded as somewhat of a stock down. A lot 865 00:47:21.199 --> 00:47:24.079 of folks are saying that perhaps Reim was responsible for 866 00:47:24.119 --> 00:47:29.519 two of the four goals. On the third goal, Reim 867 00:47:29.599 --> 00:47:31.440 tried to clear it and went right to mo Farsi 868 00:47:31.559 --> 00:47:36.760 setting up Azy Jackson had problems tracking Jason Russell Rowe 869 00:47:36.760 --> 00:47:40.599 on goal number four. Christian Collina had seven saves on 870 00:47:40.719 --> 00:47:46.320 Saturday seven, So think how it would have been if 871 00:47:46.360 --> 00:47:48.760 you did not have someone standing on his head as 872 00:47:48.760 --> 00:47:57.360 regularly as Christian Colleena does, and so you know if 873 00:47:57.400 --> 00:48:03.599 you have if you have a Christian Kalina off day, 874 00:48:06.280 --> 00:48:13.280 then you may end up with what you had after 875 00:48:13.320 --> 00:48:15.400 the match or just after the match. It was a 876 00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:17.800 four to two result, so you could end up with 877 00:48:17.920 --> 00:48:21.599 more than four goals on the board if you didn't 878 00:48:21.599 --> 00:48:24.280 have somebody like a Christian Collina there. But Dean Smith 879 00:48:24.280 --> 00:48:28.519 had been it. They made too many basic errors. Smith 880 00:48:28.599 --> 00:48:31.760 on the crew. I think they're a good team, but 881 00:48:31.800 --> 00:48:34.280 when you make too many basic errors against a good team, 882 00:48:35.360 --> 00:48:40.480 then that's what happens. Smith felt that Dean Smith felt 883 00:48:40.480 --> 00:48:45.239 that Patrick Ajimong and Eedon Toklamatti played well together. A 884 00:48:45.320 --> 00:48:47.239 Jiamung might have had a penalty when he was pulled 885 00:48:47.280 --> 00:48:53.639 down missing pet Biel. He thought that Brent Bronico was 886 00:48:53.679 --> 00:48:56.599 their best player. The manner of the goals was the 887 00:48:56.599 --> 00:48:58.719 most disappointing. The second one. I believe there was a 888 00:48:58.760 --> 00:49:00.559 foul on Patrick, and I felt that fourth was a 889 00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:05.400 good goal for them. So too many errors is I 890 00:49:05.440 --> 00:49:10.000 think it is going to be the common thread involving 891 00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:15.039 what Charlotte did or did not accomplish in their matchup 892 00:49:15.079 --> 00:49:17.159 against Columbus. I think I think they're a good team. 893 00:49:17.920 --> 00:49:20.440 I think they're a good team. Uh huh sure, okay, fine, 894 00:49:21.320 --> 00:49:24.000 all right, so morning Harry, morning Dell. Yes, we'll get 895 00:49:24.039 --> 00:49:26.880 into Open Cup coming up in a bit. So I 896 00:49:26.880 --> 00:49:31.480 think they're a good team. And frankly, i'd love to 897 00:49:31.519 --> 00:49:36.119 know how you actually do foul Patrick Agimong and have 898 00:49:36.280 --> 00:49:39.639 Agimung go down being fouled. Considering that he is seven 899 00:49:39.719 --> 00:49:44.079 feet nine inches tall and two hundred and thirty pounds, 900 00:49:44.599 --> 00:49:47.000 you're really gonna have to foul Patrick Gojimong to get 901 00:49:47.079 --> 00:49:53.320 him to go down, and that in itself adds to 902 00:49:53.400 --> 00:49:57.320 the the lovely chaos up front involving what we see 903 00:49:57.360 --> 00:50:00.519 from Charlotte these days. DC United beat Colorado two to one, 904 00:50:01.239 --> 00:50:04.840 probably one of the shocks of the weekend, considering that 905 00:50:04.960 --> 00:50:08.559 you had been tech and Jose Kajima scoring within three 906 00:50:08.599 --> 00:50:11.679 minutes of each other in ated time in the first half. 907 00:50:12.639 --> 00:50:20.039 After you had a Yappie goal to lead everything off 908 00:50:21.159 --> 00:50:23.480 in the forty third minute, so you had literally a 909 00:50:24.320 --> 00:50:26.440 fifty two. So you had a ten minute stretch, a 910 00:50:26.480 --> 00:50:29.519 nine minute stretch where all three goals were scored yappy 911 00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:31.679 scores to make it one nil for Colorado. Then DC 912 00:50:31.760 --> 00:50:37.719 scores twice, been Techy and Jose Kajima for Troy l say, 913 00:50:39.400 --> 00:50:41.599 and you end up with a win for d C. 914 00:50:41.760 --> 00:50:43.840 And we'll go over the numbers because I remember DC. 915 00:50:43.960 --> 00:50:46.599 I thought d C was favored at home, I think 916 00:50:46.960 --> 00:50:48.719 if I remember correctly, and we were all kind of 917 00:50:48.760 --> 00:50:52.599 shocked that DC was favored at home. So I d 918 00:50:52.760 --> 00:50:54.719 C favored at home. They got the win on Colorado. 919 00:50:54.760 --> 00:50:56.320 Colorado is still trying to figure out how to win 920 00:50:56.360 --> 00:51:01.599 on the road. Inner Mess and Friends, they went like 921 00:51:01.679 --> 00:51:05.280 Incredible Hulk. You know, remember the old TV series Don't 922 00:51:05.320 --> 00:51:07.400 Make Me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry. 923 00:51:08.400 --> 00:51:12.480 So Messi and friends put up four at home at 924 00:51:12.480 --> 00:51:18.039 the Erector Set against Red Bulls. They got mad. Fafa 925 00:51:18.079 --> 00:51:21.199 Pico scored, Chell Away, Gant scored, Luis Suarez scored, and 926 00:51:21.199 --> 00:51:24.159 then Messi scored in the second half. Mohammed Sofo scored 927 00:51:24.159 --> 00:51:25.519 to make it three to one at the break. Then 928 00:51:25.559 --> 00:51:28.800 Messi scored in the sixty seventh. But yeah, Yannick Bright 929 00:51:28.880 --> 00:51:32.760 scored Chell Away Gant in the first thirty, then Luis 930 00:51:32.760 --> 00:51:38.280 Suarez and Messi. So Messi and friends got mad, and 931 00:51:38.360 --> 00:51:40.199 I guess we found out what happens when Messi and 932 00:51:40.199 --> 00:51:42.400 friends get mad, and when they're all, you know, healthy 933 00:51:42.440 --> 00:51:48.559 and somewhat rested. Philly beat Montreal. Montreal chasing after lag 934 00:51:48.840 --> 00:51:51.199 for the worst record in Major League Soccer at the moment, 935 00:51:51.239 --> 00:51:53.920 but Philly scored twice and won on the roads Dotsuputo 936 00:51:55.159 --> 00:51:58.119 one of the roughest places to play when Montreal is 937 00:51:58.159 --> 00:52:04.760 in rhythm. Minnesota put three on Austin. Makes you wonder 938 00:52:04.800 --> 00:52:10.039 about Austin. You bring in Robert Taylor because of your 939 00:52:10.159 --> 00:52:14.880 DPS and the money that you've spent, And so I'm 940 00:52:14.880 --> 00:52:16.599 going to dig into this one here just so we 941 00:52:16.599 --> 00:52:20.039 can kind of see what's going on with what happened 942 00:52:20.039 --> 00:52:27.360 with the Austin FC and Minnesota United. So let's check 943 00:52:27.400 --> 00:52:33.679 the numbers for Austin FC. Austin FC, by the way, 944 00:52:33.719 --> 00:52:38.679 they've lost three of their last four, given up five, 945 00:52:38.719 --> 00:52:43.880 given up two, given up three lineups for Austin. Brad 946 00:52:43.920 --> 00:52:48.960 Stuver in net back for of Biro Heinzeikes Swatalk and 947 00:52:49.079 --> 00:52:56.880 John Gallaher Sabovich, Sanchez, Ilier and Owen Wolf in your midfield, 948 00:52:58.360 --> 00:53:03.760 and your three dps Bucari, Vasquez and a Zuni up top. 949 00:53:05.199 --> 00:53:10.440 But you gave up four. You gave up four and 950 00:53:10.480 --> 00:53:15.679 you had two thirds of the possession because once again 951 00:53:15.760 --> 00:53:21.119 Eric Ramsey thinks the ball has cooties three on the 952 00:53:21.320 --> 00:53:23.760 literally two to one in possession number sixty seven percent 953 00:53:23.800 --> 00:53:31.360 to thirty three percent. Three big chances for Austin, none converted, 954 00:53:33.199 --> 00:53:36.159 Ilie Sanchez credited for an own goal, by the way, 955 00:53:36.800 --> 00:53:41.000 so Ilie gets an own goal, merchanic and then Pereira 956 00:53:42.960 --> 00:53:47.280 at ninety plus one, twenty five total shots on the 957 00:53:47.360 --> 00:53:51.599 day fourteen by Austin. Eleven shots from Minnesota and they 958 00:53:51.599 --> 00:53:55.920 only had possession one third at the time, three saves 959 00:53:55.920 --> 00:54:03.079 for Dame Saint Clair, five for Stuver. Twenty five fouls 960 00:54:03.119 --> 00:54:07.199 called in the match, fourteen on Minnesota, twenty eight tackles 961 00:54:07.239 --> 00:54:10.559 fourteen each, one yellow card, and that was on Austin. 962 00:54:12.960 --> 00:54:15.760 Most of Austin shots inside the eighteen. You had a 963 00:54:15.760 --> 00:54:20.559 couple right on the edge of the eighteen. But getting 964 00:54:20.599 --> 00:54:24.880 into the individual numbers, individuals scoring from our friends from 965 00:54:24.920 --> 00:54:32.280 SOFA score, so mirto Uzuni sixty minutes before he got pulled. 966 00:54:33.320 --> 00:54:37.280 One shot on target, three shots off, seventeen passes on 967 00:54:37.320 --> 00:54:41.079 the day for Uzuni, sixteen completions, three of six on 968 00:54:41.119 --> 00:54:45.039 his ground. Duel's fouled once, one pick. So a quiet 969 00:54:45.079 --> 00:54:47.039 day for Uzuni. So you have a quiet day and 970 00:54:47.079 --> 00:54:50.639 SOFA score gives you a seven point two US Open 971 00:54:50.679 --> 00:54:55.360 Cup hero Brandon Vasquez played the full ninety seven of 972 00:54:55.519 --> 00:55:03.239 fifteen passing for Brandon Vasquez of fifteen forty seven percent 973 00:55:04.719 --> 00:55:09.280 three key passes, so literally seven passes completed in fifteen. 974 00:55:09.400 --> 00:55:14.000 Three of them were registered as key passes. He was 975 00:55:14.159 --> 00:55:19.400 four of twelve otherwise three key passes of his seven completions, 976 00:55:19.480 --> 00:55:25.480 four were just completions, four of twelve in just passing 977 00:55:25.519 --> 00:55:28.320 in general, that did not create any kind of an 978 00:55:28.320 --> 00:55:32.679 action toward goal. Two big chances created seven to twelve 979 00:55:32.719 --> 00:55:36.599 on his duels, lost possession ten times, it was fouled 980 00:55:36.599 --> 00:55:39.400 three times, had three clears, had to pick and a tackle, 981 00:55:40.320 --> 00:55:42.559 and he registered a seven point six according to our 982 00:55:42.599 --> 00:55:46.360 friends at SOFA Score, I don't know how that translates. 983 00:55:46.360 --> 00:55:50.400 I'd love to know their math. Bukari Oswan Bukari, the 984 00:55:50.400 --> 00:55:54.079 other DP gave you sixty one shot on target, one 985 00:55:54.119 --> 00:55:59.519 shot off, fourteen of eighteen passing, one cross successful, three 986 00:55:59.519 --> 00:56:02.599 of eight on ground. Duell's lost possession twelve times, had 987 00:56:02.599 --> 00:56:07.320 a clearance in two total tackles. So basically, just looking 988 00:56:07.360 --> 00:56:14.480 at this at face just face level, it appeared that 989 00:56:14.519 --> 00:56:18.239 Minnesota basically wanted to prevent Brandon Vasquez from getting the ball, 990 00:56:19.039 --> 00:56:20.880 and when he did, force him into making a bad 991 00:56:20.920 --> 00:56:25.519 decision four for twelve passing outside of his three key passes. 992 00:56:28.719 --> 00:56:33.880 And so you had a three five two for Minnesota. 993 00:56:36.719 --> 00:56:40.360 Saint Claren Net, Romero, Bauxol and Diaz. You're five in 994 00:56:40.400 --> 00:56:47.199 the midfield Merchanic Perreira, will Trap, Harvey and Bungo long 995 00:56:47.239 --> 00:56:53.320 Jane Bongo lung Juane got the start as your five 996 00:56:53.360 --> 00:56:55.800 three two three five two is your right wing back, 997 00:56:57.159 --> 00:57:00.960 tany Alla will say and Robin load up top. And 998 00:57:01.000 --> 00:57:06.000 for those that are looking for the numbers, Julian Gressel 999 00:57:06.079 --> 00:57:07.960 came in for Harvey and came in for twenty six 1000 00:57:08.039 --> 00:57:12.079 minutes five to seven passing, had won long ball, won 1001 00:57:12.159 --> 00:57:15.440 all of his duels three for three, fouled once, had 1002 00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:17.719 a block, a pick, a tackle, and a clearance off 1003 00:57:17.719 --> 00:57:21.719 the line. So welcome to Minnesota, Julian Gressel. You played 1004 00:57:21.719 --> 00:57:27.639 twenty six minutes, but the key apparently in defense, at 1005 00:57:27.719 --> 00:57:29.599 least through the eyes of Eric Ramsey, who only wanted 1006 00:57:29.599 --> 00:57:32.079 the ball a third of the time. Don't let Brandon 1007 00:57:32.159 --> 00:57:36.519 Vasquez beat you. And you are still at a point 1008 00:57:37.440 --> 00:57:41.760 to where I think og might still be second in 1009 00:57:41.920 --> 00:57:49.400 goals for Austin FC this year. It's it's it's out 1010 00:57:49.440 --> 00:57:53.039 there right now. It is out there for Austin FC. 1011 00:57:53.880 --> 00:57:58.199 Chicago and Orlando. The next team four Atlanta United, not 1012 00:57:58.280 --> 00:58:03.119 the purple team. The other one goalless draw and so 1013 00:58:03.360 --> 00:58:09.559 Chicago having problems. You had a red card for Chris Brady. 1014 00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:12.519 That meant that Jonathan gall the thirty four year old homegrown, 1015 00:58:13.039 --> 00:58:16.559 the hometown, hometown player, who's on your supple, who was 1016 00:58:16.599 --> 00:58:19.559 one of your supplemental pickups. Jonathan Gall finished the match 1017 00:58:19.599 --> 00:58:22.599 for you. Obviously, that means that Brady won't be available 1018 00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:24.639 this weekend. Jonathan Gall will be in net. But you 1019 00:58:24.679 --> 00:58:27.199 had to play most of the match with ten no 1020 00:58:27.320 --> 00:58:29.880 goals on the board. You got out of town. Everybody 1021 00:58:29.880 --> 00:58:33.920 got a point. San Diego as close to Cinco de 1022 00:58:34.000 --> 00:58:39.480 Mayo as possible, got five to start May against Dallas, 1023 00:58:40.039 --> 00:58:41.800 and I guess that means that there are questions now 1024 00:58:41.880 --> 00:58:47.400 once again with Dallas. Jukie Lozano scored two early to 1025 00:58:47.559 --> 00:58:53.519 knelt the break. Then Dryer Valakari and Milaniloski underrated pickup 1026 00:58:53.519 --> 00:58:56.280 from USL Championship. I know that Dell and Harry know 1027 00:58:56.440 --> 00:58:59.039 all about Milan Olaski in his time at Orange County. 1028 00:59:00.920 --> 00:59:11.159 Five on the board, five on the board, ponderous propagandists 1029 00:59:11.239 --> 00:59:15.320 fifty three. M. Sorry, you're gonna get blocked, and I 1030 00:59:15.360 --> 00:59:18.079 apologize that this blows my flow every single time. But 1031 00:59:18.079 --> 00:59:22.880 I'm annoyed when you end up with a bot that 1032 00:59:22.960 --> 00:59:32.639 comes in looking for cheap viewers. So bot bot, so viewer, 1033 00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:40.440 so lisit tay shun bot. I think I spelled that right, Okay, 1034 00:59:40.480 --> 00:59:42.719 I did twenty three characters. That's it. Thank you for 1035 00:59:42.760 --> 00:59:50.519 submitting your report. So yeah, so that's where San Diego 1036 00:59:50.679 --> 00:59:54.840 is and that's where Dallas was. San Diego putting five 1037 00:59:54.880 --> 00:59:59.840 on the board against Dallas. Let's check Dallas's numbers while 1038 00:59:59.840 --> 01:00:05.400 we're here. Let's check Dallas. But yeah, Austin has only 1039 01:00:05.440 --> 01:00:10.239 scored two goals in their last five matches, three goals 1040 01:00:10.239 --> 01:00:16.360 in their last six. They've been held scoreless in half 1041 01:00:16.400 --> 01:00:20.039 of those. We'll get into the goal scoring in Austin 1042 01:00:20.039 --> 01:00:30.480 in a bit, but yeah, FC Dallas, FC Dallas, and no, 1043 01:00:30.559 --> 01:00:37.320 I don't want that one. Silly people. So FC Dallas, 1044 01:00:38.440 --> 01:00:42.599 I think they're still trying to figure out if you 1045 01:00:42.639 --> 01:00:45.519 don't get the ball to Lucco a Costa or Peter Mussa, 1046 01:00:45.920 --> 01:00:49.119 what are you gonna do? And I don't know which 1047 01:00:49.199 --> 01:00:54.159 Dallas you're gonna get. Frankly, here's Dallas's last five. They're one, 1048 01:00:54.199 --> 01:00:57.440 two and two, by the way, lose five nil, win 1049 01:00:57.599 --> 01:01:01.960 four three goal of straw who's been a lose to 1050 01:01:02.000 --> 01:01:05.760 Seattle one nil, and then the draw to Atlanta one one. 1051 01:01:05.920 --> 01:01:11.440 You don't know which version you're gonna get. Stats for 1052 01:01:11.639 --> 01:01:14.039 FC Dallas in this matchup, they had forty percent of 1053 01:01:14.039 --> 01:01:18.199 the ball. They had forty percent of the ball and 1054 01:01:18.239 --> 01:01:22.719 you're down five nil, no big chances, nine shots, four 1055 01:01:22.880 --> 01:01:31.159 saves for Martin Paz, thirty one fouls called seventeen on Dallas, 1056 01:01:34.079 --> 01:01:40.320 two yellow cards on the day, shots on target only 1057 01:01:40.400 --> 01:01:44.159 two five goals on the board for San Diego. They 1058 01:01:44.159 --> 01:01:48.320 had nine shots on target heirgo, five shots off target, 1059 01:01:49.000 --> 01:01:53.480 nine total shots and two blocks, six shots from outside 1060 01:01:53.559 --> 01:01:55.679 the eighteen for Dallas. So I think you know where 1061 01:01:55.719 --> 01:01:58.880 mikey Varus is going philosophically, at least in that matchup. 1062 01:02:00.079 --> 01:02:04.840 Touches in the penalty area compared to nineteen once again, 1063 01:02:04.840 --> 01:02:10.199 how many shots inside the eighteen three? So not a 1064 01:02:10.199 --> 01:02:13.079 good day for Dallas once again, Dallas, I think is 1065 01:02:13.079 --> 01:02:17.920 still trying to figure out Dallas. Once you get past 1066 01:02:18.239 --> 01:02:20.760 that matchup where San Diego put five and it was 1067 01:02:20.840 --> 01:02:26.280 over in a hurry, Vancouver continues to win. I think 1068 01:02:26.320 --> 01:02:30.079 anybody that is doubting Vancouver now do so at your 1069 01:02:30.079 --> 01:02:35.440 own peril, because when you have what is going on 1070 01:02:35.480 --> 01:02:39.239 with Yesper Sorenson, he just keeps grinding out results, getting 1071 01:02:39.320 --> 01:02:45.960 dudes and being there for prime Vancouver winning. Like I said, 1072 01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:47.239 we'll go over the standings in a bit, just to 1073 01:02:47.239 --> 01:02:48.800 give you the idea of what the space is like. 1074 01:02:50.280 --> 01:02:52.639 But it's the same lineup, the same dudes, doing the 1075 01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:57.519 same things. And now there is talk at least that 1076 01:02:57.559 --> 01:02:59.800 there is a suggestion from some folks who are waving 1077 01:02:59.800 --> 01:03:03.719 their hands in the air that Maritio Pochettino should probably 1078 01:03:03.719 --> 01:03:08.039 look at Sebastian Burholter instead of Geo Raina. And there 1079 01:03:08.039 --> 01:03:13.199 are questions involving injuries for the US national team. Next time, Bartizon, 1080 01:03:13.280 --> 01:03:16.880 we'll discuss that for the handful of friendlies coming up 1081 01:03:16.920 --> 01:03:21.400 in June, that Mauricio Pochettino has to kind of, you know, 1082 01:03:21.719 --> 01:03:24.280 scratch his chin over about what to do. There are 1083 01:03:24.280 --> 01:03:27.920 a couple of those decisions. But now with Sebastian Burholter's 1084 01:03:27.960 --> 01:03:31.159 play in Vancouver, there is talk that Sebastian Burholter should 1085 01:03:31.159 --> 01:03:34.880 be in the discussion for being on a roster and 1086 01:03:34.920 --> 01:03:38.599 getting call ups. So we'll see. But Vancouver put two 1087 01:03:38.599 --> 01:03:40.960 on the board. They beat RSL, and the goal by 1088 01:03:41.119 --> 01:03:44.400 RSL was a penalty late by Diego Luna, so it 1089 01:03:44.440 --> 01:03:48.039 really wasn't necessarily that close, but the Diego Luna penalty 1090 01:03:48.159 --> 01:03:50.360 made it so and it pushed RSL at the end 1091 01:03:50.360 --> 01:03:53.920 to try to get chase after an equalizer. LAFC beat 1092 01:03:54.159 --> 01:03:58.760 Houston Dynamo two nil. San Jose put four on Portland 1093 01:03:58.800 --> 01:04:03.239 at PayPal Park. Seattle put four on Saint Louis. Sorry, 1094 01:04:03.360 --> 01:04:08.400 Saint Louis City SC Seattle scored four without Jordan Morris 1095 01:04:08.400 --> 01:04:10.440 for probably about another month. We'll catch up with the 1096 01:04:10.519 --> 01:04:13.559 Nico Moreno and we'll ask about that next time he 1097 01:04:13.639 --> 01:04:18.400 comes in. On Thursday, NYC BTFC Cincinnati one nil, and 1098 01:04:18.440 --> 01:04:25.320 then Kansas City Sporting Kansas City set a record against LAG. 1099 01:04:25.559 --> 01:04:28.679 And if you're LAG, obviously, Maya Yoshida had the face 1100 01:04:28.719 --> 01:04:32.760 of the true expression of what we've seen from LAG 1101 01:04:32.960 --> 01:04:40.360 this season. Maya Yoshida had an own goal and that 1102 01:04:40.519 --> 01:04:43.199 was the only goal in the match for Sporting A Lag. 1103 01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:48.320 Gabriel Peck would leave injured. Joseph Painseill I believe would 1104 01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:54.000 leave injured. So the Killer Peas are dinged up. We 1105 01:04:54.039 --> 01:04:56.039 all know about Ricky Pooh, He's still out for a 1106 01:04:56.079 --> 01:05:00.920 long time. Gabriel Peck was the healthy one coming into 1107 01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:04.639 the year. He left the match injured. No report yet. 1108 01:05:05.559 --> 01:05:08.800 Joseph Paintzill started the season injured. He got dinged up 1109 01:05:08.800 --> 01:05:12.559 in the match against Sporting Kansas City, Marco Royce almost 1110 01:05:12.639 --> 01:05:15.760 tied it with a free kick or a set piece late, 1111 01:05:15.800 --> 01:05:19.639 but he went off the crossbar. First time ever in 1112 01:05:19.679 --> 01:05:21.800 the history of Major League Soccer that a team won 1113 01:05:21.880 --> 01:05:26.280 a match without a shot on target. Mayo Yoshida, I 1114 01:05:26.280 --> 01:05:30.199 don't Mayoyshida does not yield credit for Sporting Kansas City 1115 01:05:30.199 --> 01:05:34.639 in this case. But may Yoshida because it went off 1116 01:05:34.639 --> 01:05:37.559 of his person and behind his keeper. That's a goal 1117 01:05:37.599 --> 01:05:39.920 for Kansas City. First time that's ever happened in the 1118 01:05:39.920 --> 01:05:42.880 history of Major League Soccer. But Sporting Kansas City comes 1119 01:05:42.920 --> 01:05:46.840 out with a win. Carrie's a wagnin once again. Sporting 1120 01:05:46.880 --> 01:05:52.840 Kansas City under carry Z has turned things around, gotten 1121 01:05:52.880 --> 01:05:56.800 results in their last four matches, I believe, and so 1122 01:05:56.960 --> 01:06:00.480 Carrie Z has turned things around with Sporting Kansas City. 1123 01:06:02.119 --> 01:06:05.000 But hey, look, you're Sporting. You get a one nil win. 1124 01:06:05.039 --> 01:06:06.639 However you get a one nil win. Is however you 1125 01:06:06.639 --> 01:06:09.480 get a one nil win. Your grinding results you're trying 1126 01:06:09.480 --> 01:06:11.079 to get out of the cellar. You're getting them however 1127 01:06:11.079 --> 01:06:14.599 you get them. So right now, the way things stand 1128 01:06:14.719 --> 01:06:21.760 after match Week eleven, Columbus at twenty four points, Philadelphia 1129 01:06:21.840 --> 01:06:25.920 is at twenty two, have a far superior goal difference 1130 01:06:26.000 --> 01:06:31.400 than FC Cincinnati, same record seven three and one. Messi 1131 01:06:31.480 --> 01:06:33.639 and Friends of a match in hand, they're at twenty 1132 01:06:33.679 --> 01:06:38.920 one points. So basically, if they win their match in hand, 1133 01:06:38.960 --> 01:06:40.679 they would probably be at the top of the table 1134 01:06:42.599 --> 01:06:44.880 and they'd have a superior goal difference, you would think. 1135 01:06:46.960 --> 01:06:49.800 Considering that they have a superior goal difference to Columbus 1136 01:06:49.840 --> 01:06:53.519 now and they have a match in hand, it would 1137 01:06:53.519 --> 01:06:55.440 be an identical record if they were to catch up. 1138 01:06:58.639 --> 01:07:05.599 Charlotte'son fifth, despite Dean Smith's protestation. Seemingly on a weekly basis, 1139 01:07:06.840 --> 01:07:12.480 Nashville is in six, same record as NYC, superior goal 1140 01:07:12.559 --> 01:07:18.079 difference to Nashville there, Orlando has won less win there 1141 01:07:18.119 --> 01:07:21.679 in eighth. New England is in ninth. Once again, the 1142 01:07:21.719 --> 01:07:25.280 formation change seems to have worked for Caleb Porter. Red 1143 01:07:25.280 --> 01:07:28.000 Bulls are below the playoff bar. They are in tenth, 1144 01:07:28.159 --> 01:07:32.880 Chicago is in eleventh. DC United right now is at 1145 01:07:32.880 --> 01:07:36.039 twelve points, Atlanta United is ten, So basically you're six 1146 01:07:36.079 --> 01:07:38.519 points out of a playoff spot. Two wins in a 1147 01:07:38.519 --> 01:07:41.880 hot week, and then you have Toronto on Montreal. Toronto 1148 01:07:42.039 --> 01:07:45.199 is one six and four. They have scored eight goals 1149 01:07:45.239 --> 01:07:50.440 in eleven matches. They've given up sixteen. Montreal has yet 1150 01:07:50.480 --> 01:07:53.400 to win this season. We'll get to lag in a minute. 1151 01:07:55.199 --> 01:08:00.239 Montreal is eight and three. They have scored five goals 1152 01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:03.679 two and one at home, o six and two on 1153 01:08:03.719 --> 01:08:06.320 the road, obviously, because they had to start the season 1154 01:08:06.320 --> 01:08:08.280 on the road because you can't play at the Big 1155 01:08:08.280 --> 01:08:10.760 Oh because the roof is busted, and you can't play 1156 01:08:10.760 --> 01:08:14.119 at Stott Suputa because it's open air unless you want 1157 01:08:14.119 --> 01:08:18.079 to play orange ball all day long. Eight and three, 1158 01:08:18.239 --> 01:08:20.920 five goals scored, they've only given up sixteen, mind you, 1159 01:08:22.000 --> 01:08:27.800 so that's a goal difference of one four five. But 1160 01:08:29.319 --> 01:08:31.560 you're still at the bottom of the table. So combining 1161 01:08:31.600 --> 01:08:34.560 the Canadian teams in the Eastern Conference, here's where you 1162 01:08:34.600 --> 01:08:41.000 are after match week eleven one, fourteen and seven. You've 1163 01:08:41.000 --> 01:08:45.560 scored thirteen, you've given up thirty two. That's where things 1164 01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:51.199 are right now in the Eastern Conference in Canada fourteenth 1165 01:08:51.199 --> 01:08:57.079 and fifteen. Western Conference. Vancouver is seven points clear, seven 1166 01:08:57.760 --> 01:09:00.520 like one more than six seven points clear. And I 1167 01:09:00.560 --> 01:09:02.399 had to do it traditionally. I do it like this, 1168 01:09:02.479 --> 01:09:04.000 but I have to remember that you're looking at me 1169 01:09:04.039 --> 01:09:08.039 in a mirror, so seven points clear eight one and two. 1170 01:09:08.079 --> 01:09:13.119 They have lost once in in MLS play this season 1171 01:09:14.640 --> 01:09:18.800 eight one two Yoi Tacaoka has given up eight goals 1172 01:09:18.800 --> 01:09:23.840 in eleven matches. Stingy is defense in Major League Soccer 1173 01:09:23.920 --> 01:09:26.239 this side of New England. New England has only given 1174 01:09:26.319 --> 01:09:31.439 up seven goals. They've only scored nine. But the stingiest 1175 01:09:31.600 --> 01:09:36.319 defense in Major League Soccer is New England. I would 1176 01:09:36.399 --> 01:09:41.640 never have figured that New England's given up seven goals 1177 01:09:41.640 --> 01:09:45.239 in ten matches. Vancouver is given up eight and eleven. 1178 01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:48.279 Those are your top two defenses and goals allowed in 1179 01:09:48.319 --> 01:09:53.079 Major League Soccer. So Vancouver scored twenty two, so they're 1180 01:09:53.119 --> 01:09:56.760 averaging to a match. They've only given up eight, so 1181 01:09:56.880 --> 01:10:04.760 a goal difference of plus fourteen. Already this year, Minnesota 1182 01:10:05.119 --> 01:10:09.319 second at nineteen points. Once again, ball's got cooties. They 1183 01:10:09.359 --> 01:10:12.159 don't want possession. I think they are on track to 1184 01:10:12.279 --> 01:10:18.079 have the by far, the lowest possession numbers in Major 1185 01:10:18.159 --> 01:10:22.279 League Soccer history. Remember against Austin they only had a 1186 01:10:22.279 --> 01:10:23.920 third of the time. Didn't care. You got three on 1187 01:10:23.960 --> 01:10:29.800 the board, you won. Let them make the mistakes with 1188 01:10:29.840 --> 01:10:31.800 the ball. As long as you're clinical. It shouldn't matter 1189 01:10:34.039 --> 01:10:38.800 Portland's at eighteen points. San Diego, who I think kind 1190 01:10:38.800 --> 01:10:40.960 of regressed to the mean a little bit after that 1191 01:10:41.039 --> 01:10:43.520 initial bump of oh crap, were in Major League Soccer 1192 01:10:43.560 --> 01:10:45.840 and you're doing well, then you had the oh crap 1193 01:10:45.840 --> 01:10:51.399 war in Major League Soccer. So then San Diego identical 1194 01:10:51.479 --> 01:10:55.199 record as LAFC, but a superior goal difference. Austin has 1195 01:10:55.199 --> 01:11:00.319 only scored seven goals this year eleven matches, seven goals. 1196 01:11:01.840 --> 01:11:04.359 You're five to five and one because Brad Stuever has 1197 01:11:04.439 --> 01:11:06.479 kept you in matches. He's got a goals against a 1198 01:11:06.560 --> 01:11:09.600 one point one to eight thirteen goals allowed in eleven matches. 1199 01:11:11.159 --> 01:11:17.720 So let's check Austin's stats. Shall we goals on the 1200 01:11:17.760 --> 01:11:24.159 board you have, and I think og might actually be 1201 01:11:24.439 --> 01:11:28.960 tied for the team lead in goals because if Elier's 1202 01:11:29.000 --> 01:11:31.079 got one, I know that somebody there's got to be 1203 01:11:31.119 --> 01:11:35.560 other own goals in there. So Brandon Vasquez open cap hero, 1204 01:11:35.720 --> 01:11:41.720 Brandon Vasquez, I'm sorry, leads actual human beings in goals 1205 01:11:41.760 --> 01:11:45.199 scored for Austin this year. Like I said, I think 1206 01:11:45.239 --> 01:11:47.239 now with the ille eight own goal, I think that 1207 01:11:47.479 --> 01:11:50.840 own goal and Brandon Vasquez us open coup hero Brandon 1208 01:11:50.920 --> 01:11:57.039 Vasquez have the same number of goals, So an inanimate 1209 01:11:57.079 --> 01:12:02.119 object and a league and a game construct and Brandon 1210 01:12:02.199 --> 01:12:05.359 Vasquez had the same number of goals leading Austin FC 1211 01:12:05.520 --> 01:12:14.479 this year. Two Gajermei Biro, Danny Pereira, John gallaher Osman Buccari, 1212 01:12:14.840 --> 01:12:21.880 Mirto Uzuni each have one. So the money that you've 1213 01:12:21.920 --> 01:12:25.119 spent on those three dps up top before you even 1214 01:12:25.159 --> 01:12:31.000 brought in Robert Taylor, they're scoring for you compared to 1215 01:12:31.000 --> 01:12:37.359 everybody else on your roster just ain't really scoring. Three 1216 01:12:37.439 --> 01:12:39.960 players on a front line and a four to three 1217 01:12:40.079 --> 01:12:43.520 three that you have spent an inordinate amount of money 1218 01:12:43.560 --> 01:12:50.159 to bring in four goals of your team's seven that 1219 01:12:50.399 --> 01:12:54.680 you know proportionately percentage wise fifty three percent of your 1220 01:12:54.720 --> 01:12:57.119 goals that over the span of a season is great. 1221 01:12:58.079 --> 01:12:59.960 You brought in all these big guns fifty three per 1222 01:13:00.079 --> 01:13:03.079 son of the goals they've scored. Fantastic, But that's four 1223 01:13:03.119 --> 01:13:06.960 of seven. That's where Austin is right now with Nico 1224 01:13:07.039 --> 01:13:12.199 Seves us Open Cup hero Brandon Vasquez with two, I 1225 01:13:12.239 --> 01:13:19.279 think og has two, Biro, Pereira, galaher Bucari and Uzuni 1226 01:13:20.239 --> 01:13:27.000 each with one. Seven goals scored by Austin this entire season. 1227 01:13:29.319 --> 01:13:34.640 So that's where Austin is right now. That's where Austin 1228 01:13:34.680 --> 01:13:38.880 is right now. Atlanta United has scored twelve twelve goals. 1229 01:13:38.920 --> 01:13:40.560 I mean, but they are not the They're not the 1230 01:13:40.600 --> 01:13:45.479 worst offense in the Eastern Conference at all. New England's 1231 01:13:45.479 --> 01:13:51.439 only scored nine, Toronto scored eight, Montreal has scored five. Austin, 1232 01:13:51.560 --> 01:13:56.520 Saint Louis, and Lag they're all single digits and there 1233 01:13:56.560 --> 01:13:59.960 have been and Houston scored ten. RSL has scored twelve, 1234 01:14:00.560 --> 01:14:03.039 So there are teams still in single digits and goals scored. 1235 01:14:04.199 --> 01:14:06.279 To Derek's point, that was made in the twitch pitch, 1236 01:14:08.159 --> 01:14:11.159 so Seattle finally scoring goals, they finally woke up, I 1237 01:14:11.199 --> 01:14:16.000 think sixteen points, but once again one less win than Austin. 1238 01:14:17.000 --> 01:14:20.000 Same with Colorado. Seattle's got a better goal difference at 1239 01:14:20.039 --> 01:14:23.319 seven to eight. Dallas, you don't know which Dallas you're 1240 01:14:23.359 --> 01:14:25.880 gonna get. Is it gonna be the one that is 1241 01:14:25.880 --> 01:14:30.560 gonna be saved by Martin Paz or is it gonna 1242 01:14:30.600 --> 01:14:33.000 be the one that just gets absolutely out gunned And 1243 01:14:33.079 --> 01:14:41.039 get this, Dallas at home are one in three. Away 1244 01:14:41.039 --> 01:14:43.399 from home, there three to one in three, which is 1245 01:14:43.439 --> 01:14:47.640 a flip from everything else that we've known traditionally. You 1246 01:14:47.680 --> 01:14:49.079 know how hard it is to win on the road 1247 01:14:49.079 --> 01:14:51.720 in Major League soccer. It is the reverse for Dallas. 1248 01:14:52.840 --> 01:14:54.720 I don't know. Maybe the construction is getting to them. 1249 01:14:54.760 --> 01:14:57.640 Maybe it's like the construction dust and you know, all 1250 01:14:57.680 --> 01:15:00.800 of the stuff that's going on while they're renovation Toyota 1251 01:15:00.880 --> 01:15:05.039 Stadium and the National Soccer Hall of Fame. Maybe they 1252 01:15:05.119 --> 01:15:07.000 need to just wear hard hats out there or something. 1253 01:15:07.880 --> 01:15:10.920 But yeah, Dallas away from home three to one and three. 1254 01:15:11.159 --> 01:15:15.840 Oh oh sorry, Derek referring to amount of money spent 1255 01:15:15.840 --> 01:15:22.640 in goal scored. Yeah, true, absolutely true. Let's see, David, 1256 01:15:22.680 --> 01:15:27.520 has Atlanta scored twelve or ten? Atlanta has scored twelve, 1257 01:15:30.600 --> 01:15:34.760 and I think, well, we'll go back and we'll see. Yes, Derek, 1258 01:15:34.800 --> 01:15:41.239 absolutely true, money spent proportional to goal scored. Absolutely Atlanta 1259 01:15:41.319 --> 01:15:43.600 is listed as scoring twelve goals. I think what they 1260 01:15:43.680 --> 01:15:50.680 do is they include ogs into those categories. I think 1261 01:15:50.720 --> 01:15:54.720 in overall goals, I think that's how it is eight ten. 1262 01:15:55.199 --> 01:15:59.960 So yes, human beings have scored ten goals for Atlanta 1263 01:16:00.319 --> 01:16:04.119 this year. Late Lot has half of them, Migy has three, 1264 01:16:04.399 --> 01:16:08.479 Mosquita and Midanchu keV won so four goal scorers and 1265 01:16:09.439 --> 01:16:15.680 uh ten by human beings for Atlanta United. So that's 1266 01:16:15.800 --> 01:16:18.840 that's where Land United is. In goals scored this year, 1267 01:16:19.319 --> 01:16:25.319 two ogs five from Latte Lot Miggy with three one 1268 01:16:25.359 --> 01:16:29.079 from a fast Eddy and one from Midanchuk. So yes, yes, Derek, 1269 01:16:29.079 --> 01:16:35.119 once again, absolutely true. All right, So Dallas once again, 1270 01:16:35.159 --> 01:16:38.680 it's it's dumbfounding. They're three to one and three San 1271 01:16:38.800 --> 01:16:43.159 Jose away from home, San Jose thirteen points RSLs at twelve. 1272 01:16:43.520 --> 01:16:46.680 Kansas City and All Caps and Houston are each with ten. 1273 01:16:46.880 --> 01:16:49.680 Kansas City has the most wins of the three. Then 1274 01:16:49.840 --> 01:16:54.119 Saint Louis and Houston have the same record and better 1275 01:16:54.159 --> 01:16:56.600 goal difference goes to All Caps. Lag, by the way, 1276 01:16:58.600 --> 01:17:04.039 matching Montreal with the start this season worst ever start 1277 01:17:04.119 --> 01:17:06.479 for a rainning MLS Cup champ oh eight and three, 1278 01:17:07.600 --> 01:17:13.800 eight goals scored for Lag, twenty one allowed when you 1279 01:17:13.840 --> 01:17:18.359 hammehad you hemorrhage bad and they're consistent four and one 1280 01:17:18.439 --> 01:17:23.199 at home, four and two on the road. And the 1281 01:17:23.600 --> 01:17:28.279 look from Mayo Yoshida after the ball goes into the net, 1282 01:17:28.359 --> 01:17:30.239 fighting for as long as they had trying to get 1283 01:17:30.279 --> 01:17:33.479 a result out of Kansas City. About sums it up 1284 01:17:33.479 --> 01:17:41.840 for LAG three points eight and three Montreal three points 1285 01:17:42.000 --> 01:17:45.520 eight and three and they've scored two less goals. Worst 1286 01:17:45.560 --> 01:17:51.760 ever start for a club that's a raining MLS Cup 1287 01:17:51.840 --> 01:18:00.720 champ and looking at the LAG schedule, don't I don't know, literally, 1288 01:18:00.760 --> 01:18:05.800 I don't know where this gets better. At New York 1289 01:18:06.000 --> 01:18:10.399 Red Bulls, so you're in Harrison, New Jersey. Then you 1290 01:18:10.439 --> 01:18:12.600 go and I guess you stay out there instead of 1291 01:18:12.600 --> 01:18:17.239 flying all the way back to LA. So this weekend 1292 01:18:18.920 --> 01:18:24.760 you play in Harrison, New Jersey. Midweek you play against 1293 01:18:24.800 --> 01:18:28.840 Philadelphia at Subaru Park, then you come back home for 1294 01:18:29.000 --> 01:18:32.880 L Traffico. Then you go to San Diego and play 1295 01:18:32.880 --> 01:18:38.279 at Snapdragon. Then you got Cali Classico at home. Then 1296 01:18:38.319 --> 01:18:46.039 you got RSL at home in Carson. That's May. That 1297 01:18:46.159 --> 01:18:48.439 is May. That is six matches and the rest of 1298 01:18:48.479 --> 01:18:51.000 the month for LAG and twenty one to twenty two days. 1299 01:18:52.920 --> 01:19:00.000 Tell me where the win is. I can't. I literally 1300 01:19:00.119 --> 01:19:02.319 cannot tell you where the win is in that group. 1301 01:19:05.439 --> 01:19:08.279 I'm going to juice boxes here in a second, but 1302 01:19:08.439 --> 01:19:10.960 I can't. I cannot tell you where the wind is. 1303 01:19:11.000 --> 01:19:18.279 I really can't. At Red Bulls midweek to Philly weekend 1304 01:19:18.960 --> 01:19:24.560 l Traffico following week. It's the I five Darby. I 1305 01:19:24.560 --> 01:19:26.880 guess I haven't come up with a name for it yet. 1306 01:19:26.880 --> 01:19:30.479 I don't think anybody has. Cali Classico. And then RSL 1307 01:19:30.560 --> 01:19:38.359 comes to Carson. Maybe it's that one that's May. Six 1308 01:19:38.439 --> 01:19:40.920 matches left for lag in May, and I'm going, where 1309 01:19:41.000 --> 01:19:47.800 is the win? Will monitor obviously Gabriel Peck and Joseph Paintzil, 1310 01:19:48.840 --> 01:19:54.560 But where is the win? I don't see it. Maybe 1311 01:19:54.600 --> 01:19:56.840 a point here or there, but I don't see the win. 1312 01:19:57.279 --> 01:20:05.520 I really don't. I really don't. And then if you 1313 01:20:05.920 --> 01:20:11.279 have this May that we're looking at, then you go 1314 01:20:11.279 --> 01:20:13.880 into the international break the beginning of June for the 1315 01:20:13.920 --> 01:20:18.159 friendlies with the US national team, et cetera. Then you 1316 01:20:18.239 --> 01:20:20.920 come back and you've got Saint Louis at Saint Louis 1317 01:20:20.920 --> 01:20:27.920 on the fourteenth of June. Maybe that's it. But you 1318 01:20:28.159 --> 01:20:33.760 could be through May and your season could be done 1319 01:20:33.800 --> 01:20:37.640 halfway through the year. At the end of May and 1320 01:20:37.680 --> 01:20:45.239 you're done and you're the reigning MLS Cup champ. Yes, 1321 01:20:45.279 --> 01:20:47.640 that speaks a lot to what Ricky Pooge means to you. 1322 01:20:49.600 --> 01:20:55.600 But remember you sold Dejon Joviolache. You sold Dejan Yovileache. 1323 01:20:55.680 --> 01:20:58.520 I guess thinking that Diego Fagundez and Christian Ramirez and 1324 01:20:58.520 --> 01:21:02.640 Miguel Barry would be enough to fill the spaces for you, 1325 01:21:04.760 --> 01:21:08.520 but that hasn't happened yet. Marco Royce still has not 1326 01:21:08.600 --> 01:21:13.920 been able to find his touch in Los Angeles. But 1327 01:21:14.119 --> 01:21:17.560 LAG is in a bad spot and we literally could 1328 01:21:17.600 --> 01:21:20.680 be writing them out of everything at the end of May. 1329 01:21:22.159 --> 01:21:24.720 I cannot remember the last time something like that has 1330 01:21:24.720 --> 01:21:34.560 ever happened. Legitimately, I can't, absolutely can't. So that's where 1331 01:21:34.560 --> 01:21:38.680 we are with Major League Soccer and the weekend that 1332 01:21:38.960 --> 01:21:43.840 was we now we've got Open Cup to think about. 1333 01:21:44.039 --> 01:21:47.760 So you've got all of these teams that had everything 1334 01:21:48.279 --> 01:21:50.520 going on this weekend, then they have Open Cup to 1335 01:21:50.560 --> 01:21:55.760 think about, and we welcome our Open Cup overlords to 1336 01:21:55.840 --> 01:22:01.920 all of the discussions and everything. And of course I'm 1337 01:22:01.960 --> 01:22:03.840 hitting the wrong button to try and get your juice 1338 01:22:03.840 --> 01:22:08.399 boxes tonight, says not what I was looking for. So 1339 01:22:09.119 --> 01:22:12.640 Open Cup you got half. You got a handful of 1340 01:22:12.640 --> 01:22:19.560 matches tonight. And I know that Dell is getting ready 1341 01:22:20.279 --> 01:22:24.880 for the matchup against d C United. Dell is u 1342 01:22:25.560 --> 01:22:28.920 DC United somehow DC United, I mean, and it's probably 1343 01:22:29.000 --> 01:22:31.399 just because they're at home. DC United's a minus one twenty. 1344 01:22:33.199 --> 01:22:35.680 DC United is a minus one twenty at seven o'clock. 1345 01:22:37.079 --> 01:22:39.640 Ninety minute draws a plus two fifty seven. Charleston's a 1346 01:22:39.640 --> 01:22:45.359 plus two seventy eight. I think defensively, obviously of d C. 1347 01:22:45.479 --> 01:22:47.159 I want to see what DC's lineup looks like. But 1348 01:22:47.159 --> 01:22:50.520 if you're having to guard Christian Binteke, and I feel 1349 01:22:50.560 --> 01:22:55.039 and I feel like I'm referencing this like basketball. You 1350 01:22:55.079 --> 01:22:59.479 got you gotta have some very very tall center backs, 1351 01:22:59.600 --> 01:23:03.880 and you go to shield and shadow against Christian Binteke. 1352 01:23:06.520 --> 01:23:08.720 I think that you're I think that the defense for 1353 01:23:08.840 --> 01:23:12.640 DC can be had. So maybe it's that ninety minute 1354 01:23:12.720 --> 01:23:19.560 draw two fifty seven. Maybe it's MD Myers. Maybe you 1355 01:23:19.640 --> 01:23:21.800 slow things down to keep it away from ben Teke, 1356 01:23:21.960 --> 01:23:23.840 but you've got to find a way so he does 1357 01:23:23.920 --> 01:23:29.680 not beat you. Charlotte and North Carolina FC, I need 1358 01:23:29.720 --> 01:23:34.399 to get that Dean Linky drop. Charlotte is a minus 1359 01:23:34.399 --> 01:23:38.920 one oh four, going to carry at seven. North Carolina 1360 01:23:38.960 --> 01:23:40.880 and the draw basically the same in and around A 1361 01:23:40.920 --> 01:23:45.039 plus two forty five. Nashville and Chattanooga red Wolves. Nashville's 1362 01:23:45.039 --> 01:23:47.560 a minus twelve fifty at g otis once again eight 1363 01:23:47.560 --> 01:23:50.680 o'clock ninety minute draws A plus eight seventy one red 1364 01:23:50.720 --> 01:23:52.800 Wolves on the road a PLU. Basically, they're a plus 1365 01:23:52.840 --> 01:23:58.119 nineteen seventy five. I don't think that Chattanooga's got the 1366 01:23:58.119 --> 01:24:03.760 firepower to combat what BJ Callahan wants to do with Nashville. 1367 01:24:04.000 --> 01:24:07.279 I imagine that BJ Callahan will rotate a little bit. 1368 01:24:09.800 --> 01:24:14.880 Don't know how much he'll rotate, but I would imagine 1369 01:24:15.000 --> 01:24:19.600 that you'll probably have your big guns on the bench, 1370 01:24:19.640 --> 01:24:22.000 and if you need them late to come and get 1371 01:24:22.039 --> 01:24:24.800 a result, that is probably what BJ Callahan will do. 1372 01:24:26.439 --> 01:24:32.319 But yeah, Nashville to minus twelve fifty red Bulls on 1373 01:24:32.359 --> 01:24:35.520 the road at Colorado Springs, that's a nine to thirty 1374 01:24:35.640 --> 01:24:40.520 kick Switchbacks or a plus two thirty four red bulls 1375 01:24:40.600 --> 01:24:43.520 or even money plus one hundred. I don't know how 1376 01:24:44.319 --> 01:24:51.800 Switchbacks will respond to the press that red bulls are 1377 01:24:51.800 --> 01:24:56.359 going to bring out. That to me would be the 1378 01:24:56.359 --> 01:24:58.199 biggest thing. I think that if red Bulls get an 1379 01:24:58.239 --> 01:25:02.000 early goal, it's over because red bulls will come out, 1380 01:25:02.000 --> 01:25:08.000 they'll do their press. If Colorado Springs can't handle it, 1381 01:25:08.079 --> 01:25:10.199 and have some early turnovers and turn it into a 1382 01:25:10.239 --> 01:25:12.279 bit of a shooting gallery for Red Bulls. I think 1383 01:25:12.279 --> 01:25:15.159 it's over early because all Red Bulls are gonna do. 1384 01:25:15.199 --> 01:25:18.239 They're gonna get one, they're gonna press, They're going to 1385 01:25:18.319 --> 01:25:22.880 force Colorado Springs to try and pressure themselves to try 1386 01:25:22.880 --> 01:25:26.239 and chase after an equalizer. But I think if Red 1387 01:25:26.279 --> 01:25:31.199 Bulls get an early goal, it's over. Tacoma hosting Portland 1388 01:25:31.840 --> 01:25:37.520 ten o'clock Tacoma at Starfire is a plus four seventy six. 1389 01:25:38.520 --> 01:25:41.560 Ninety minute draws a plus four fifty three, and Portland 1390 01:25:41.600 --> 01:25:45.640 Timbers are a minus two seventy. We all know what 1391 01:25:45.680 --> 01:25:53.079 Starfire can do as a venue. Tacoma slash Seattle Sounders 1392 01:25:53.119 --> 01:25:58.199 didn't flinch one bit when it came to hosting. They 1393 01:25:58.199 --> 01:26:07.119 put Tacoma and had like, yep, well we know what 1394 01:26:07.199 --> 01:26:13.520 Starfire can do. Whether it's Seattle or Tacoma Sounders are 1395 01:26:13.520 --> 01:26:17.159 defiance doesn't matter. Starfire can be a pain in the ass. 1396 01:26:18.760 --> 01:26:22.880 I don't know if Portland treats it that way or 1397 01:26:22.880 --> 01:26:26.159 if they just come in and are all business and 1398 01:26:26.199 --> 01:26:27.880 they get the goals on the board they need and 1399 01:26:27.920 --> 01:26:30.279 try to get out of town. That a minus two seventy. 1400 01:26:30.840 --> 01:26:34.560 I think that's what's gonna happen. I think if Portland 1401 01:26:34.680 --> 01:26:38.880 just buckles down task at hand, we got work to do. 1402 01:26:40.199 --> 01:26:43.079 You don't look at everybody else that's starfire, focus on yourself. 1403 01:26:43.119 --> 01:26:46.520 I think Portland will be okay. But the longer that 1404 01:26:46.760 --> 01:26:53.359 Portland keeps to coma in this match, then it's gonna 1405 01:26:53.359 --> 01:26:56.000 get a little dicey for Portland. Like I said, I'm 1406 01:26:56.000 --> 01:26:59.800 not gonna touch that minus two seventy. I wouldn't, But 1407 01:27:00.119 --> 01:27:05.439 the longer Tacoma's in the match, watch out. I don't 1408 01:27:05.439 --> 01:27:08.039 think it'd be the same way like Chattanooga versus Nashville 1409 01:27:08.119 --> 01:27:14.159 or anything like that. But I think that Portland takes 1410 01:27:14.199 --> 01:27:16.199 care of business. I think what you might do is 1411 01:27:16.239 --> 01:27:21.039 look at totals. So as I sit here and go totals, 1412 01:27:21.119 --> 01:27:29.239 let's look at totals, shall we. So totals four Tacoma 1413 01:27:29.279 --> 01:27:32.039 and Portland two and a half of minus three forty two, 1414 01:27:32.680 --> 01:27:35.000 three and a half of minus one thirty and it 1415 01:27:35.000 --> 01:27:40.000 flips it four to a plus one twenty seven, So 1416 01:27:40.119 --> 01:27:42.119 four and a half a plus one sixty five. I 1417 01:27:42.479 --> 01:27:46.279 could see that going to something. But you're also under 1418 01:27:46.319 --> 01:27:49.760 the assumption that Tacoma would be the one scoring to 1419 01:27:49.800 --> 01:27:51.520 get it to that four and a half or five. 1420 01:27:53.680 --> 01:27:57.439 So if you said three two or four to one, maybe, 1421 01:27:57.560 --> 01:27:59.640 but I don't know if Portland gets there or not 1422 01:28:01.680 --> 01:28:03.600 four and a half a plus one sixty five, I'm 1423 01:28:03.600 --> 01:28:07.800 not touching it. So those are the matchups tonight in 1424 01:28:07.920 --> 01:28:19.000 Open Cup. Tomorrow is everybody else nine Tomorrow River Hounds 1425 01:28:19.039 --> 01:28:22.520 hosting NYC. NYC is currently favored. We'll go through these numbers. 1426 01:28:22.560 --> 01:28:24.520 We'll see if they change tomorrow when we talk about 1427 01:28:24.520 --> 01:28:27.479 Open Cup again, and our number one and our number 1428 01:28:27.800 --> 01:28:32.600 one early and then our number two after Dylan lou City, Minnesota, United. 1429 01:28:35.640 --> 01:28:38.199 Lou City could take this one at Lynn Family at 1430 01:28:38.239 --> 01:28:42.800 a plus one eighty seven. Keep an eye on that number. 1431 01:28:43.720 --> 01:28:46.479 Minnesota doesn't want the ball. Lou City is more than 1432 01:28:46.520 --> 01:28:49.439 happy to have it. You're going into Lynn Family. It's 1433 01:28:49.479 --> 01:28:52.560 going to be a hot crowd. Keep an eye on 1434 01:28:52.560 --> 01:28:56.720 that one. Philadelphia and Indy eleven. Philadelphia a big favorite 1435 01:28:56.720 --> 01:28:58.760 at subar Ru Park, no surprise, they should take care 1436 01:28:58.760 --> 01:29:02.079 of business out of minus two eighty sive Rhode Island 1437 01:29:02.119 --> 01:29:05.000 and the Revs. That's gonna be the fun one for 1438 01:29:05.039 --> 01:29:08.119 a bunch of different reasons because of our ties. Obviously 1439 01:29:08.159 --> 01:29:11.399 with Michael Parkhurst and Rhode Island FC, Rhode Island a 1440 01:29:11.439 --> 01:29:15.800 slight underdog at a plus one seventy five. Once again, 1441 01:29:15.840 --> 01:29:19.840 New England doesn't score the plus one thirty seven. They're favored. 1442 01:29:21.199 --> 01:29:25.319 But I don't quite see if you're looking for a 1443 01:29:25.359 --> 01:29:29.279 total go the under on that one. I don't see 1444 01:29:29.319 --> 01:29:32.319 a whole lot of goals in that one. I really don't. 1445 01:29:34.239 --> 01:29:35.880 Rhode Island and New England one and a half a 1446 01:29:35.960 --> 01:29:40.359 minus four twenty nine. They're thinking there's gonna be a 1447 01:29:40.399 --> 01:29:41.760 lot of goals here. Two and a half is a 1448 01:29:41.760 --> 01:29:44.119 minus one twenty seven, and it flips at two and 1449 01:29:44.760 --> 01:29:47.720 two point seventy five. Three is a plus one thirty six. 1450 01:29:47.840 --> 01:29:49.560 Three and a half is a plus one eighty one. 1451 01:29:50.159 --> 01:29:51.600 So if you think it's gonna be a three to 1452 01:29:51.640 --> 01:29:56.800 one match, you can get to the plus side. I'm 1453 01:29:56.800 --> 01:29:58.159 not gonna touch it. I don't think there's gonna be 1454 01:29:58.159 --> 01:30:01.159 a lot of goals there. I think New England is 1455 01:30:01.159 --> 01:30:04.439 gonna play it fairly normally. They might get a goal 1456 01:30:04.520 --> 01:30:07.319 or two, but I don't see it getting to that 1457 01:30:07.439 --> 01:30:11.239 Overttal on the plus Tampa Bay and the Purple Team 1458 01:30:11.279 --> 01:30:13.800 Purple teams of minus one twenty three. Tampa Bay's a 1459 01:30:13.800 --> 01:30:17.960 plus three to zero three not surprising. I think that 1460 01:30:18.000 --> 01:30:21.159 the Purple team takes care of business. Chicago hosting Detroit 1461 01:30:21.199 --> 01:30:25.279 City at a minus one fifty nine. Will Austin score 1462 01:30:25.359 --> 01:30:33.359 goals against El Paso Locomotive? Who knows Austin's a minus 1463 01:30:33.359 --> 01:30:37.079 two oh four at the corner of thirty eighth in Washington. 1464 01:30:37.079 --> 01:30:39.760 Phoenix hosting the Houston Dynamo at a plus three nineteen. 1465 01:30:39.800 --> 01:30:42.279 Dynamo are favorite of a minus one thirty nine despite their 1466 01:30:42.359 --> 01:30:46.199 lack of goals and lack of wins. That might be 1467 01:30:46.239 --> 01:30:51.119 a cup set contender. And then Sacramento hosting San Jose 1468 01:30:51.439 --> 01:30:54.479 San Jose at Hard Health a minus one forty three. 1469 01:30:54.840 --> 01:30:58.640 That one could be another cup set. So keep an 1470 01:30:58.680 --> 01:31:04.600 eye on Open Cup after Dark tonight and tomorrow. But 1471 01:31:04.680 --> 01:31:06.760 like I said, we'll go back over the juice boxes 1472 01:31:06.800 --> 01:31:11.840 in this one and in this particular run once we 1473 01:31:11.880 --> 01:31:15.680 see how things shift. But I think Open Cup after 1474 01:31:15.760 --> 01:31:21.279 Dark could be dangerous today and tomorrow, and so we'll 1475 01:31:21.279 --> 01:31:24.760 see what happens there. But I think that you're probably 1476 01:31:25.079 --> 01:31:27.960 you might see lou City in Minnesota, United tomorrow. Keep 1477 01:31:27.960 --> 01:31:32.840 an eye on that one, but I think tonight I 1478 01:31:32.840 --> 01:31:35.720 don't see why Charleston can't last ninety minutes with DC United. 1479 01:31:37.640 --> 01:31:40.439 He said, just find a way to front and bracket 1480 01:31:40.600 --> 01:31:43.880 Christian Bineke. If he starts that, I think is the 1481 01:31:43.880 --> 01:31:51.600 difference there. Force DC United to work. If you're North Carolina, 1482 01:31:51.640 --> 01:31:54.840 foul the ish out of Charlotte, and especially if Zaha 1483 01:31:54.960 --> 01:32:00.600 starts Nashville, I think is going to rotate out with Chattanooga. 1484 01:32:00.920 --> 01:32:02.960 And like I said, if Red Bulls get a quick 1485 01:32:02.960 --> 01:32:06.560 goal tonight against the Switchbacks, I think it's done. But 1486 01:32:06.640 --> 01:32:09.279 Tacoma hosting Portland, that one could be crazy. So keep 1487 01:32:09.279 --> 01:32:10.800 an eye on that one late. We'll get back into 1488 01:32:10.840 --> 01:32:15.359 the juice boxes tomorrow for that particular go round. Rich 1489 01:32:16.119 --> 01:32:17.800 Red bull is gonna try so hard to lose and 1490 01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:20.840 get out of the Open Cup. You sure you think 1491 01:32:20.840 --> 01:32:22.720 that they just want to take the trip to Colorado 1492 01:32:22.760 --> 01:32:24.319 And She's just like, yeah, we'll go to Colorado Springs, 1493 01:32:24.319 --> 01:32:31.279 have a kick about and go home. Or do they 1494 01:32:31.279 --> 01:32:36.960 want that trophy? Do they want that trophy? We'll find out. 1495 01:32:38.000 --> 01:32:40.560 Let's say hi to everybody. Morning, Alex Morning, Logo, Morning 1496 01:32:40.560 --> 01:32:45.000 Harry Morning, Dell. Dell is all jacked up about the 1497 01:32:45.000 --> 01:32:49.319 matchup with DC. Troy La Saint Zach Prince, former Battery 1498 01:32:49.359 --> 01:32:54.279 players Fi del Barajas, Derek Dotson, former Battery players for 1499 01:32:54.399 --> 01:32:58.399 del Barajas. I hope that Charleston used the money wisely. 1500 01:32:59.159 --> 01:33:09.920 Morning Abby, gonna be May yes and so yes, Morning Derek, 1501 01:33:10.000 --> 01:33:14.000 Morning David, and Morning Rich. So that's where we are. 1502 01:33:14.960 --> 01:33:17.439 Let's get into gossip, rumor and innu window, what to 1503 01:33:17.439 --> 01:33:18.800 watch or to watch it, how to watch it, and 1504 01:33:18.840 --> 01:33:21.319 then all the other news of the morning that you 1505 01:33:21.399 --> 01:33:24.439 get to pay attention to, and we'll lay it all 1506 01:33:24.520 --> 01:33:27.960 out for you. We've had a couple of sackings overseas. 1507 01:33:30.119 --> 01:33:33.960 You know, Trent Alexander Ardold is officially heading away from Liverpool. 1508 01:33:34.000 --> 01:33:37.760 That was made officially official this morning. I'm guessing that 1509 01:33:37.840 --> 01:33:41.119 the fee that Liverpool was looking for, which I would hope, 1510 01:33:41.359 --> 01:33:45.760 I love Real Madrid, Real Madrid, how about fifty thousand 1511 01:33:45.760 --> 01:33:52.000 pounds legitimately I would have had a laugh track ready 1512 01:33:52.119 --> 01:33:56.560 if I was Liverpool. Fifty thousand pounds just to release 1513 01:33:56.600 --> 01:33:59.039 him early. It's like, well, you know, we kind of 1514 01:33:59.079 --> 01:34:02.279 like him for the Club World Cup. Can you release 1515 01:34:02.319 --> 01:34:04.359 him early? Now that you won the title and everything. 1516 01:34:04.399 --> 01:34:08.039 I imagine that played into it. Well, yeah, but it's 1517 01:34:08.039 --> 01:34:11.319 gonna cost you how much fifty thousand pounds? Legitimately, I'd go, 1518 01:34:16.359 --> 01:34:18.439 I hope I just didn't spit all over my microphone. 1519 01:34:20.560 --> 01:34:24.239 Fifty thousand pounds initially, that's what? Yeah, how about fifty 1520 01:34:24.279 --> 01:34:31.279 how about fifty grand? It's like the It's almost like 1521 01:34:31.319 --> 01:34:34.439 an inverted draft day thing, you know, where Kevin Costrant 1522 01:34:34.479 --> 01:34:36.279 the mute button and he's, you know, telling everybody in 1523 01:34:36.279 --> 01:34:39.119 the room to shut up. Liverpool's in their room, aren't 1524 01:34:39.119 --> 01:34:42.960 a slutt and everybody and they're like and pointing at 1525 01:34:42.960 --> 01:34:48.319 the phone. Our situations changed in just thirty seconds ago. 1526 01:34:50.079 --> 01:34:53.880 It won't be fifty thousand pounds, but literally, real Madrid, 1527 01:34:53.920 --> 01:34:56.600 how about fifty thousand pounds to release turn Alexander Arnold 1528 01:34:56.600 --> 01:35:01.359 Early laughter in the room would have been my first response. 1529 01:35:01.840 --> 01:35:07.439 They'd be like, nah, fam, talk to you later. Click. Well, 1530 01:35:07.520 --> 01:35:09.960 we'll get into all of that stuff here in a second. 1531 01:35:10.199 --> 01:35:12.960 So gossip, rumor, innuendo, what to watch, where to watch it, 1532 01:35:13.000 --> 01:35:16.439 how to watch it? Let you know what's going on 1533 01:35:16.520 --> 01:35:20.600 this morning. Looks like Manchester United have named their price 1534 01:35:20.680 --> 01:35:24.760 on Garnacho. They told Chelsea they're gonna have to pay 1535 01:35:24.800 --> 01:35:31.279 sixty five million pounds to sign him this summer. Sixty 1536 01:35:31.319 --> 01:35:34.640 five million pounds. Of course, that's also from the other 1537 01:35:34.720 --> 01:35:36.840 four Letter paper, so I mean this is me holding 1538 01:35:36.840 --> 01:35:41.279 my breath. Everton and Wolves are interested in signing former 1539 01:35:41.399 --> 01:35:45.319 Arsenal forward Nicola Pepe out of contract at Via Rail 1540 01:35:45.399 --> 01:35:49.239 in the summer. Leroy Sane has changed his agent, which 1541 01:35:49.239 --> 01:35:51.720 has put a question mark over his future at Bayern 1542 01:35:51.800 --> 01:35:54.000 Munich and the contract extension that was close to being 1543 01:35:54.000 --> 01:35:58.199 agreed Florian Plettenberg. Liverpool set to spend big in the 1544 01:35:58.199 --> 01:36:00.960 summer in the market for a new left back, center 1545 01:36:00.960 --> 01:36:04.079 back and striker. Chelsea set the whole talks with Moist's 1546 01:36:04.079 --> 01:36:08.279 Caesato over a new contract this summer as a reward 1547 01:36:08.319 --> 01:36:12.520 for his performance, and once again six year contract four 1548 01:36:12.560 --> 01:36:16.720 Real Madrid set to take effect from July first, and 1549 01:36:16.800 --> 01:36:21.239 apparently according to the Four Letter Network, Trent Alexander Arnold 1550 01:36:21.279 --> 01:36:24.399 rejected the offer of a significant pay raise to remain 1551 01:36:24.479 --> 01:36:28.319 with Liverpool beyond the end of the season. Southampton's Aaron 1552 01:36:28.399 --> 01:36:32.640 Ramsdale's wanted by United in West ham Marco Silva and 1553 01:36:32.840 --> 01:36:36.159 Nuno Espirito Santo at Forest among the candidates being considered 1554 01:36:36.720 --> 01:36:41.680 by al hillal Aston Villa keeping tabs on Andre lunin 1555 01:36:42.399 --> 01:36:45.560 As Emmy Martinez continues to be linked with a summer 1556 01:36:45.680 --> 01:36:51.479 exit that's from the Birmingham Mail. So what to watch, 1557 01:36:51.479 --> 01:36:54.319 where to watch it, how to watch it? Like I said, 1558 01:36:54.359 --> 01:36:55.720 then we'll get into the other news of the day 1559 01:36:55.720 --> 01:36:58.840 and anything else we might have missed.

Like I said, 1582 01:38:21.600 --> 01:38:24.399 I think today and tomorrow both Open Cups after dark, 1583 01:38:26.920 --> 01:38:32.000 that's going to be fun stuff to listen to. Okay, now, 1584 01:38:32.039 --> 01:38:36.159 Aston Villa in our News of the day, Aston Villa 1585 01:38:36.239 --> 01:38:40.960 is pretty hot, not as a club, minds you in 1586 01:38:41.000 --> 01:38:44.760 the standings, but they're somewhat angered and wrankled at the 1587 01:38:44.800 --> 01:38:51.000 second John Percy at the Telegraph. Aston Villa have accused 1588 01:38:51.159 --> 01:38:57.479 the Premier League of showing clear prejudice toward the club's 1589 01:38:57.479 --> 01:39:03.159 supporters after their match with Spurs was reschedul Senior Villa 1590 01:39:03.199 --> 01:39:05.720 officials are furious with the League for moving the home 1591 01:39:05.720 --> 01:39:12.199 match against Spurs forward two days to help Spurs in 1592 01:39:12.239 --> 01:39:18.479 their bid to win Europa on course to reach the 1593 01:39:18.479 --> 01:39:20.399 final after beating Bodo Glint three to one in their 1594 01:39:20.439 --> 01:39:23.359 semi ask the Premier League to move their trip to 1595 01:39:23.439 --> 01:39:28.439 Villa Park to help maximize preparation time. Villa's home final 1596 01:39:28.479 --> 01:39:31.560 home match of the season, initially due to be played 1597 01:39:31.600 --> 01:39:34.279 on Sunday the eighteenth, now is going to take place 1598 01:39:34.279 --> 01:39:38.760 on Friday the sixteenth, five days before the Europa League Final. 1599 01:39:38.760 --> 01:39:42.479 In bill Bout. The new date was confirmed this morning 1600 01:39:43.760 --> 01:39:47.960 and now Villa has two fewer days to prepare for Spurs. Villa, 1601 01:39:49.199 --> 01:39:52.880 chasing after a top five finish, already mad with the 1602 01:39:52.880 --> 01:39:55.640 Premier League after the movie their home match against Liverpool 1603 01:39:55.680 --> 01:39:59.319 was rejected in March. Supporters have also hit out the 1604 01:39:59.359 --> 01:40:05.760 decision on social media, with Monchi, Villa's president of football operations, 1605 01:40:05.800 --> 01:40:08.800 insisting the decision. Quote is not what we wanted end 1606 01:40:08.920 --> 01:40:19.960 quote Manchi on his personal Twitter account. Quote our fans 1607 01:40:20.000 --> 01:40:21.840 didn't deserve it, but we tried hard to keep the 1608 01:40:21.840 --> 01:40:24.119 match to protect the most important for us, you and 1609 01:40:24.239 --> 01:40:29.439 our team. End quote. We need you on Friday. Damion Vitegani, 1610 01:40:30.119 --> 01:40:34.199 Villa's director of football operations, went further in a long post, 1611 01:40:35.439 --> 01:40:40.439 claiming there was a clear prejudice towards Villa fans. Vitegani 1612 01:40:40.479 --> 01:40:43.279 also insisted his club quote didn't feel this support in 1613 01:40:43.319 --> 01:40:47.039 their last two European campaigns Conference League last year, Champions 1614 01:40:47.079 --> 01:40:51.199 League this year. Vitigani wrote, European football is not only 1615 01:40:51.199 --> 01:40:54.520 demanding for English clubs just on the verge of finals. 1616 01:40:55.319 --> 01:41:01.680 Villa right now is in seventh and they are in 1617 01:41:01.720 --> 01:41:06.960 that gaggled between among three and seven, separated by five teams, 1618 01:41:06.960 --> 01:41:12.039 separated by four points. Man City at sixty four, Newcastle 1619 01:41:12.119 --> 01:41:18.640 Chelsea at sixty three. Even on goal difference Forrest is 1620 01:41:18.680 --> 01:41:24.880 at sixty one, Villa is at sixty So Villa's pretty 1621 01:41:24.880 --> 01:41:28.880 mad right now. No precedent for the Premier League moving 1622 01:41:28.920 --> 01:41:33.199 games to benefit clubs playing in Europe. United are also 1623 01:41:33.399 --> 01:41:35.479 in the Europa League SEMIS and they have a three 1624 01:41:35.560 --> 01:41:38.600 yer lead over Bill Boo from the first leg in 1625 01:41:38.640 --> 01:41:41.600 Spain last week. United also playing a Premier League match 1626 01:41:41.640 --> 01:41:46.600 on Friday against Chelsea the sixteenth, so Manchester United and 1627 01:41:46.680 --> 01:41:48.960 Spurs would have the same amount of preparation time should 1628 01:41:48.960 --> 01:41:52.359 they both reach Europa League Final Premier League set in 1629 01:41:52.399 --> 01:41:57.600 a statement quote. This is following a request from Spurs 1630 01:41:57.640 --> 01:42:00.880 in view of their potential participation in the UEFA Europa 1631 01:42:00.960 --> 01:42:03.239 League Final on Wednesday May twenty one. Additionally, the match 1632 01:42:03.279 --> 01:42:06.119 between Chelsea and Manchester United also taking place on Friday 1633 01:42:06.399 --> 01:42:09.800 May sixteen. We'll now kick off at twenty fifteen BST, 1634 01:42:11.319 --> 01:42:14.560 so twenty minus fight, so three to fifteen East Coast time. 1635 01:42:15.560 --> 01:42:21.359 So that is what you're That is what is going on, 1636 01:42:23.960 --> 01:42:30.960 involving scheduled changes and people who are mad. So you 1637 01:42:31.039 --> 01:42:35.119 want things to change, Hey, can you change it? That's cool, 1638 01:42:35.520 --> 01:42:39.399 you changed it. But then all of a sudden, hey, 1639 01:42:39.399 --> 01:42:44.000 wait a minute, we're doing something too. How about us 1640 01:42:44.039 --> 01:42:48.079 and not changing it? Well, not so much, not yeah, 1641 01:42:48.319 --> 01:42:57.640 not so much. So that's that's part of what's going on. 1642 01:42:57.880 --> 01:43:00.399 In the Championship. Watford is sacked Tom Clever after a 1643 01:43:00.399 --> 01:43:07.039 fourteenth place finish, and Al ak Lee Saudi domination of 1644 01:43:07.079 --> 01:43:10.399 the Asian Champions League is a concern. John Durden at 1645 01:43:10.399 --> 01:43:15.159 The Guardian Riadmarraz and Bobby Fermino starred in a tournament, 1646 01:43:15.159 --> 01:43:18.279 but an unbalanced format reflects political power in the continent. 1647 01:43:19.239 --> 01:43:25.960 That's from h once again. John Durden, so Al Aklee 1648 01:43:26.000 --> 01:43:28.640 lifts the Champions League Elite trophy for the first time 1649 01:43:28.760 --> 01:43:35.680 Saudi after defeating Kawasaki Frontal of Japan. Roberto Fermino has 1650 01:43:35.720 --> 01:43:40.680 not been registered in the Saudi Pro League, where teams 1651 01:43:40.680 --> 01:43:45.880 are allowed only ten foreign players. His spot was taken 1652 01:43:45.920 --> 01:43:51.359 by Galino, a Brazilian fellow Brazilian signed from Porto in January. 1653 01:43:51.439 --> 01:43:58.000 In Asia, however, no such restrictions. Fermino back in the 1654 01:43:58.039 --> 01:44:05.119 Fold named the tournament's MV and so Fermino scored both 1655 01:44:05.159 --> 01:44:12.239 goals and the two nil went over Kawasaki Frontal and 1656 01:44:12.319 --> 01:44:19.800 so now Mattias Jaisel gets a championship eight hundred million 1657 01:44:19.920 --> 01:44:25.600 pounds spent in the transfer window. And once again remember 1658 01:44:25.600 --> 01:44:31.319 the PIF took over Al Hillal and Al Nasser and 1659 01:44:31.399 --> 01:44:38.399 took over the two clubs and are spending big money, 1660 01:44:40.399 --> 01:44:50.439 big money boost for the Champions League in Asia, never 1661 01:44:50.479 --> 01:44:52.880 really known how to promote the tournament across the continent, 1662 01:44:53.439 --> 01:44:56.479 but then you've got Ronaldo Benzema, Neymar and so the 1663 01:44:56.520 --> 01:45:00.239 marketing does itself, and so the Asian Champions League was 1664 01:45:00.279 --> 01:45:08.960 big news. Scene was set for the format. AFC had 1665 01:45:09.000 --> 01:45:11.960 already decided to host all games from the quarterfinals onwards. 1666 01:45:11.960 --> 01:45:17.720 In Jetta Last eight finally met three local teams beat 1667 01:45:17.720 --> 01:45:22.720 Eastern opposition fourteen to one. Guang Ju, South Korean team 1668 01:45:22.760 --> 01:45:26.600 making their continental debut, had to go twenty hours for 1669 01:45:26.760 --> 01:45:29.520 a one legged quarterfinal against the team playing at home 1670 01:45:29.560 --> 01:45:32.439 with the wage beil thirty times higher than theirs. All 1671 01:45:32.520 --> 01:45:37.399 Hill All beats Guangju seven nil. Then you would have 1672 01:45:37.399 --> 01:45:42.399 had a semi final against Allaklee wage bill twenty eight 1673 01:45:42.399 --> 01:45:47.800 times higher than Guangju. Sadi clubs once again getting automatic 1674 01:45:47.840 --> 01:45:51.560 home advantage. Nothing wrong with the old home and away 1675 01:45:51.560 --> 01:46:00.039 format according to according to Durdin, but once again, the 1676 01:46:00.079 --> 01:46:02.720 Asian Champions League doesn't have the same rules of engagement 1677 01:46:02.760 --> 01:46:06.920 that the Saudi Pro League does. So if you overstack 1678 01:46:07.039 --> 01:46:09.840 your roster and you go more than the ten in 1679 01:46:09.960 --> 01:46:13.600 number of the foreign born players that you bring in, 1680 01:46:16.239 --> 01:46:18.600 you can't do more than ten on your roster in 1681 01:46:18.640 --> 01:46:20.640 the league that we neither condone, endorse, no or promote. 1682 01:46:20.680 --> 01:46:23.720 But in the Asian Champions League those rules do not apply, 1683 01:46:25.520 --> 01:46:27.640 and so you get in someone like Bobby Fermino who 1684 01:46:27.680 --> 01:46:30.479 can come in and score and be an MVP, even 1685 01:46:30.520 --> 01:46:32.840 though he wasn't registered in the Saudi Pro League to 1686 01:46:32.840 --> 01:46:34.680 play in the Saudi Pro League. Does that make sense? 1687 01:46:36.359 --> 01:46:38.520 So that's what you're looking at and what you're getting 1688 01:46:38.520 --> 01:46:42.960 into involving just something to keep an eye on, just 1689 01:46:43.000 --> 01:46:47.720 something to keep an eye on as we go. You 1690 01:46:47.920 --> 01:46:56.840 know that we have been spending time in u There 1691 01:46:56.840 --> 01:46:59.720 are some I'm trying to figure out how to phrase this, 1692 01:47:01.479 --> 01:47:05.960 there are some stories that just continue to give, give, give, give, give, give, 1693 01:47:06.319 --> 01:47:11.560 the stories that never end. And one of those stories 1694 01:47:12.520 --> 01:47:20.000 is the Wagatha Christie tale. And we have now learned 1695 01:47:21.600 --> 01:47:24.239 early this morning, our time here on the East Coast, 1696 01:47:24.880 --> 01:47:28.199 that Rebecca Vardy has agreed to pay one point two 1697 01:47:28.399 --> 01:47:32.600 million pounds of Colleen Rooney's legal costs in the libel case. 1698 01:47:36.039 --> 01:47:38.520 The judge told Varty is a judge has been told 1699 01:47:38.520 --> 01:47:41.159 that Vardi is still resisting a payment of three hundred 1700 01:47:41.159 --> 01:47:47.159 thousand pounds to recap from once again our friends at 1701 01:47:47.199 --> 01:47:49.960 the Guardian, Rebecca Vardy has agreed to pay ailst one 1702 01:47:50.000 --> 01:47:54.399 point two million pounds of Colleen Rooney's legal costs. The 1703 01:47:54.560 --> 01:48:00.720 libel battle is not yet done. Colleen rue Me, once again, 1704 01:48:00.840 --> 01:48:04.439 a wife of Wayne, claimed to have run up a 1705 01:48:04.479 --> 01:48:07.520 legal bill totally more than one point eight million pounds 1706 01:48:07.560 --> 01:48:11.800 after she accused Rebecca Vardi of leaking her private information 1707 01:48:11.840 --> 01:48:14.640 to the press on social media. In twenty nineteen, a 1708 01:48:14.800 --> 01:48:20.880 judge found the claim was quote substantially true end quote. 1709 01:48:21.159 --> 01:48:27.680 In written submissions for a hearing today, Varty's barrister, Juliette 1710 01:48:27.680 --> 01:48:35.600 Wells said that Rooney's total legal bill of one million, 1711 01:48:35.680 --> 01:48:38.720 eight hundred thirty three thousand, nine hundred and six pounds 1712 01:48:38.800 --> 01:48:43.359 and eighty nine quid or pennies or whatever the equivalent 1713 01:48:43.399 --> 01:48:46.600 is has now been settled at one million, one hundred 1714 01:48:46.640 --> 01:48:54.119 and ninety thousand pounds, so it's one and one eighth 1715 01:48:54.279 --> 01:49:00.880 million plus interest, so one million, one hundred ninety It 1716 01:49:01.359 --> 01:49:05.000 had been expected to last nine days after Jamie Carpenter 1717 01:49:05.239 --> 01:49:08.159 King's Council, Thank you, Abby and everybody who told me 1718 01:49:08.199 --> 01:49:10.520 what Casey and QC were, because I had no idea. 1719 01:49:11.479 --> 01:49:15.600 I was just thinking quality control. Hearing had been inspected 1720 01:49:15.640 --> 01:49:19.359 to last nine days after Jamie Carpenter King's Council for 1721 01:49:19.479 --> 01:49:21.560 Vardi said on a written submission that the bill had 1722 01:49:21.600 --> 01:49:25.479 a kitchen sink approach and included over one hundred and 1723 01:49:25.479 --> 01:49:27.640 twenty thousand pounds of cost, to which Missus Rooney had 1724 01:49:27.680 --> 01:49:33.399 no entitlement. He said this included costs for a lawyer 1725 01:49:33.520 --> 01:49:38.119 staying quote at the Nobu Hotel and Kraig's substantial dinner 1726 01:49:38.119 --> 01:49:41.119 and drinks charges, as well as many bar charges in quote. 1727 01:49:43.920 --> 01:49:48.680 That's pretty solid. Try to throw that in on the bill. 1728 01:49:48.880 --> 01:49:53.199 Robin Dunn for Rooney, said in court that the solicitor 1729 01:49:53.279 --> 01:49:55.920 did not book the Nobu Hotel. He booked a modest hotel, 1730 01:49:56.239 --> 01:49:58.079 but on the first night of staying there that they 1731 01:49:58.119 --> 01:50:02.399 did not have any working WiFi or s. He was 1732 01:50:02.399 --> 01:50:04.880 offered to stay at the Noboo by the defendant's agent, 1733 01:50:04.880 --> 01:50:09.079 who has a preferential rate. Dunn said that the food 1734 01:50:09.119 --> 01:50:10.840 and many bar tab ran up to two hundred and 1735 01:50:10.840 --> 01:50:12.920 twenty five pounds, but said the mini bar tab ran 1736 01:50:12.960 --> 01:50:15.039 to seven pounds and ran to two bottles of water. 1737 01:50:16.119 --> 01:50:20.079 In written submissions, he said it sits ill in Missus 1738 01:50:20.159 --> 01:50:24.039 Vardy's mouth to now claim that Missus Rooney's costs, a 1739 01:50:24.079 --> 01:50:26.520 great deal of which were caused directly by her conduct, 1740 01:50:26.520 --> 01:50:30.119 are unreasonable. The two sides have now come to a 1741 01:50:30.119 --> 01:50:34.359 commercial agreement in quotation marks, leaving just Rooney's claim for 1742 01:50:34.399 --> 01:50:37.960 assessment costs to be decided. Wells has said these costs 1743 01:50:38.000 --> 01:50:40.279 should be capped at no more than one hundred thousand pounds. 1744 01:50:41.680 --> 01:50:43.880 The full amount of the assessment costs will be determined 1745 01:50:43.880 --> 01:50:46.479 at the hearing before the cost Judge Mark Whalen, who 1746 01:50:46.479 --> 01:50:49.119 said he was pleased that the two sides had come 1747 01:50:49.199 --> 01:50:53.279 to a commercial accommodation on the main sum and obviously 1748 01:50:53.319 --> 01:51:00.000 neither Vardy nor Rooney attended the remote hearing. Must be nice, 1749 01:51:00.199 --> 01:51:06.680 nice man. Looks like Robin Robert Lewandowski is set to 1750 01:51:06.760 --> 01:51:13.640 return for Barca in the matchup against Inter. Well, like 1751 01:51:13.680 --> 01:51:15.680 I said, once again, just keep an eye on that 1752 01:51:15.720 --> 01:51:20.479 one today because of of the considerable scoring that happened 1753 01:51:20.520 --> 01:51:24.680 in the first one, see if it happens in the 1754 01:51:24.720 --> 01:51:27.840 second one. And I'll go back and check the juice 1755 01:51:27.840 --> 01:51:30.960 boxes once again and see what they are in that matchup, 1756 01:51:31.000 --> 01:51:34.920 and also the total. We keep an eye on the 1757 01:51:34.960 --> 01:51:38.199 total in that one. So that's why we'll we'll make 1758 01:51:38.199 --> 01:51:42.119 a we'll make a quick race and see what's going 1759 01:51:42.199 --> 01:51:46.680 on with that one.

So if 1770 01:52:22.960 --> 01:52:26.560 you want to go read the Matthew Hall, you want 1771 01:52:26.600 --> 01:52:29.399 to go read the Matthew Hall evaluation of the whole thing, 1772 01:52:30.800 --> 01:52:35.159 then please do so.

In headline form, Brighton's owner Tony Bloom 1782 01:53:15.000 --> 01:53:19.800 wants to pump ten million pounds into Hearts in the 1783 01:53:19.800 --> 01:53:24.279 Scottish League, and so the club's fans are saying, man, 1784 01:53:24.359 --> 01:53:28.239 that is what they refer to as an unprecedented opportunity. 1785 01:53:28.720 --> 01:53:34.399 About half of Heart's entire annual turnover could enable them 1786 01:53:34.399 --> 01:53:37.520 to pull away from similar sized rivals like Aberdeen and Hibbs, 1787 01:53:37.600 --> 01:53:40.720 draw closer to Celtic and Rangers. Involved in talks for 1788 01:53:40.760 --> 01:53:45.960 several months, Hearts are fan owned. Bloom would get two 1789 01:53:46.560 --> 01:53:49.840 sevenths of the club, but no voting rights, meaning that 1790 01:53:49.880 --> 01:53:51.680 there would be no delution of voting power for the 1791 01:53:51.680 --> 01:53:55.199 fans group majority shareholder, the Foundation of Hearts. They would 1792 01:53:55.239 --> 01:53:58.560 continue to hold seventy five point one percent of voting rights. 1793 01:53:59.239 --> 01:54:01.720 Bloom wants to on a personal basis, and although he 1794 01:54:01.760 --> 01:54:04.359 will be entitled to a seat on Heart's board, he's 1795 01:54:04.359 --> 01:54:08.479 indicated he'll put forward a representative to act on his behalf. 1796 01:54:10.479 --> 01:54:13.039 Foundation of Heart said Bloom believes he can disrupt Scottish 1797 01:54:13.079 --> 01:54:14.600 football and wants to be a part of a new 1798 01:54:14.720 --> 01:54:18.239 glorious chapter in Hearts. So keep an eye on that 1799 01:54:18.279 --> 01:54:23.520 one as that continues to grow and evolve. We'll see 1800 01:54:23.560 --> 01:54:29.560 what happens there over in in Scottish football. Once again, 1801 01:54:29.800 --> 01:54:34.680 remember today six thirty kick six to fifteen pregame at 1802 01:54:34.720 --> 01:54:38.800 Chapel Harmon in Dalton. It is going to be Saint 1803 01:54:38.880 --> 01:54:42.039 Pious number three going up against the number one Dalton Boys. 1804 01:54:42.680 --> 01:54:44.640 And we'll have that one for you on the network. Mattie, 1805 01:54:44.680 --> 01:54:46.039 Jason and I will be up there with you six 1806 01:54:46.159 --> 01:54:49.359 fifteen kick for pregame and then six thirty kick at 1807 01:54:49.399 --> 01:54:51.800 Chapel Harmon. We'll have that one for you. We'll have 1808 01:54:51.880 --> 01:54:55.720 that one for you tonight and we'll let you know 1809 01:54:55.800 --> 01:54:58.800 when we know where we're going to be Thursday and Friday. 1810 01:54:58.800 --> 01:55:00.279 We will let you know where we're going going to 1811 01:55:00.319 --> 01:55:03.680 be Thursday and Friday for high School once again. At noon, 1812 01:55:03.800 --> 01:55:06.439 soccer is in session Playoff Daily Live presented by Kaiser 1813 01:55:06.439 --> 01:55:11.680 Permanente and will be joined by Coach Guillory at Jackson. 1814 01:55:12.039 --> 01:55:13.760 We'll see if any other folks can join us. We'll 1815 01:55:13.760 --> 01:55:15.239 go through all the brackets from yesterday and get you 1816 01:55:15.319 --> 01:55:22.239 ready for all of that now as of forty minutes ago. 1817 01:55:23.840 --> 01:55:27.399 Now the fun really does start. So I guess what 1818 01:55:27.560 --> 01:55:30.359 I'll do. I think I can get away with this 1819 01:55:30.399 --> 01:55:46.119 one officially as of about forty minutes ago. And this 1820 01:55:46.199 --> 01:55:47.840 affects those of us that are going to be keeping 1821 01:55:47.840 --> 01:55:52.039 an eye on the Club World Cup. Club Leone is 1822 01:55:52.159 --> 01:55:56.680 out of the Club World Cup forty minutes ago. Court 1823 01:55:56.680 --> 01:55:59.960 of Arbitration for Sport has rejected their appeal to be reinstated. 1824 01:56:00.439 --> 01:56:04.000 CASS heard appeals from Leon and Pachuca, who once again 1825 01:56:04.279 --> 01:56:08.560 part of Grupo Pachuca. Leon were removed from the tournament 1826 01:56:08.640 --> 01:56:11.800 for a breach of multi club rules. Pachuca remains in 1827 01:56:13.119 --> 01:56:16.159 Leon had argued the club had been sufficiently placed in 1828 01:56:16.199 --> 01:56:20.479 a blind trust removing conflict. Aliwa Lindsay failed in their 1829 01:56:20.520 --> 01:56:23.439 appeal to take the vacant spot after they were the 1830 01:56:23.479 --> 01:56:28.119 ones who flagged the conflict between Laon and Pachuca. Now, 1831 01:56:28.800 --> 01:56:32.279 FIFA is going to stage a playoff match between Clubamerica 1832 01:56:32.319 --> 01:56:36.079 and LAFC to determine who gets the final spot in 1833 01:56:36.159 --> 01:56:40.520 Group D. The winner gets Chelsea, Flamenco and Tunis and 1834 01:56:40.560 --> 01:56:43.239 gain a guaranteed entry fee of nine point five to 1835 01:56:43.319 --> 01:56:46.039 five million dollars in additional two million in group stage 1836 01:56:46.039 --> 01:56:48.960 wins million for a draw in the round by round 1837 01:56:49.039 --> 01:56:52.880 prize money Dayton location of the playoff set yet to 1838 01:56:52.880 --> 01:56:55.359 be final licensed. FIFA had to wait for CASSES ruling 1839 01:56:55.439 --> 01:57:02.079 John Sutcliffe at the four letter had mentioned that it 1840 01:57:02.199 --> 01:57:04.520 was going to be on the thirty first of May, 1841 01:57:06.279 --> 01:57:11.720 so we'll see what happens there. But right now, Club's 1842 01:57:12.119 --> 01:57:18.199 Club Layons expedited cast hearing appeal was to be reinstated, 1843 01:57:18.760 --> 01:57:22.239 was rejected and so now FIFA has to figure out 1844 01:57:22.239 --> 01:57:24.720 when Club America in LAFC are going to play, to 1845 01:57:24.720 --> 01:57:30.600 figure out who gets that final spot. So Alo Ellenza's 1846 01:57:30.640 --> 01:57:34.359 appeal fails to be team thirty two on merit. In 1847 01:57:34.439 --> 01:57:40.359 their appeal, Club laywons. Club Layons appeal goes by the 1848 01:57:40.399 --> 01:57:46.680 Wayside cast panel examine the evidence concluded that the trust 1849 01:57:46.920 --> 01:57:56.399 was quote insufficient to comply with multi club regulations. So 1850 01:57:56.479 --> 01:58:03.760 you got that the Trent Alexander Arnold saga once again. 1851 01:58:03.880 --> 01:58:07.920 Rowls now prepared to offer over five hundred thousand dollars pounds. Sorry. 1852 01:58:09.079 --> 01:58:12.680 Liverpool's statement intentionally stressed that Alexander Arnold will leave on 1853 01:58:12.760 --> 01:58:15.880 his contract expires, but an early exit was being worked on. 1854 01:58:17.680 --> 01:58:22.800 Obviously Liverpool want more than five hundred thousand expectation to 1855 01:58:22.840 --> 01:58:25.359 be released early, especially in time for the Club World Cup. 1856 01:58:26.079 --> 01:58:31.199 So he mentioned Tom cleverly mentioned Real Madrid. Liam Manning 1857 01:58:31.319 --> 01:58:33.359 is one of the names under consideration for the Lester 1858 01:58:33.479 --> 01:58:36.560 job with the expectation that rud Van Nisselroy will leave. 1859 01:58:37.239 --> 01:58:45.560 Manning has overseen Bristol City since seven eight sixty eight 1860 01:58:45.560 --> 01:58:48.479 points Bristol City second highed Championship tally since promotion in 1861 01:58:48.479 --> 01:58:52.079 twenty fifteen. Manchester United yet to receive any approach for 1862 01:58:52.119 --> 01:58:56.359 Brunan fernandezh despite genuine interest from Al Hilal. As called 1863 01:58:56.359 --> 01:58:58.760 by Chris Wheeler at The Daily Mail, Fernandez is viewed 1864 01:58:58.800 --> 01:59:02.399 as not for sale. Also approached in the summer of 1865 01:59:02.399 --> 01:59:04.479 twenty four into Kennedy wished to stay in Europe until 1866 01:59:04.479 --> 01:59:07.399 after the twenty six World Cup. All Hill All wants 1867 01:59:07.439 --> 01:59:09.560 some big signings ahead of the Club World Cup in 1868 01:59:09.640 --> 01:59:15.000 the extraordinary window that will be available to them. Victor 1869 01:59:15.039 --> 01:59:18.199 Osimhan is an option being considered once again since most 1870 01:59:18.239 --> 01:59:23.640 Slaw signed the two year contract extension. However, Hilal's priority 1871 01:59:23.680 --> 01:59:28.279 is to replace Jorge ha Seuss, Marco Silva, Neuno Simone 1872 01:59:28.319 --> 01:59:32.880 and Zagi Shavi and Jose Mourinho also discussed internally, but 1873 01:59:32.920 --> 01:59:38.479 no approach to either on the date draw yesterday with 1874 01:59:38.520 --> 01:59:43.159 Crystal Palace Nottingham Forest. Crystal Palace means that that draw 1875 01:59:43.279 --> 01:59:48.560 Forest is now too adrift of a Champions League spot. Leicester, 1876 01:59:48.680 --> 01:59:51.399 West Ham and Chelsea are the run in for Forest. 1877 01:59:52.199 --> 01:59:55.640 If Forrest beats Lester, then they either move into a 1878 01:59:55.720 --> 01:59:58.359 Champions League spot above either Newcastle or Chelsea, or move 1879 01:59:58.479 --> 02:00:01.000 level with both since they would play each other on Sunday. 1880 02:00:01.079 --> 02:00:03.439 So you've got that to keep an eye on. So 1881 02:00:03.600 --> 02:00:09.720 that is what's going on. Flamengo interested in signing Joel 1882 02:00:09.760 --> 02:00:13.319 Felex in time for the Club World Cup. No offer 1883 02:00:13.439 --> 02:00:17.159 or even talks with Chelsea yet Flamengo are for now 1884 02:00:17.199 --> 02:00:22.439 or only exploring a deal on the player's side, and 1885 02:00:22.520 --> 02:00:25.640 going back to Tommy Scoops, the latest on a couple 1886 02:00:25.680 --> 02:00:29.479 of the big stars. Paul Tenorio says that Chicago Fire 1887 02:00:29.720 --> 02:00:32.560 have pole position on Kevin de Bruna, even though Dibbs 1888 02:00:32.600 --> 02:00:35.680 right now are with Messi and friends. Given the choice, 1889 02:00:37.039 --> 02:00:40.000 as we say, what would you rather do February or 1890 02:00:40.000 --> 02:00:43.000 March in Chicago or February and March in Fort Lauderdale, 1891 02:00:43.159 --> 02:00:46.359 it's a no brainer. Do Bruna prefers them less over 1892 02:00:46.439 --> 02:00:50.319 Saudi Arabia, According to Tommy Scoops, hopes to have a 1893 02:00:50.319 --> 02:00:52.359 decision made this month to determine whether he can play 1894 02:00:52.359 --> 02:00:55.439 in the club World Cup with Manchester City, which would 1895 02:00:55.439 --> 02:00:57.600 have to be negotiated with whatever new club he wants 1896 02:00:57.640 --> 02:01:01.079 to go to. And so now how apparently the Fire 1897 02:01:01.279 --> 02:01:07.239 have to Bruna's discovery rights. Messi and friends had them, 1898 02:01:07.239 --> 02:01:13.159 but no DP spot was open. Sources add this is 1899 02:01:13.159 --> 02:01:16.279 why San Diego FC renounced the rights because there wouldn't 1900 02:01:16.319 --> 02:01:18.880 be a chance to negotiate to make some allocation money. 1901 02:01:19.760 --> 02:01:23.840 Situation differs from Marco Royce, in which Charlotte received four 1902 02:01:23.880 --> 02:01:27.439 hundred thousand gam for the right to sign him. Charlotte 1903 02:01:27.439 --> 02:01:30.159 offered Royce the DP deal took less money to sign 1904 02:01:30.199 --> 02:01:33.640 with the Galaxy, so the Galaxy had to compensate Charlotte. 1905 02:01:35.680 --> 02:01:38.520 When it comes to Paul Pogba, DC United have had 1906 02:01:38.560 --> 02:01:45.119 preliminary discussions talks being led by ownership Mueller Almas. Mueller, 1907 02:01:45.119 --> 02:01:48.319 on the other hand, link with LAFC preliminary talks and 1908 02:01:48.399 --> 02:01:51.439 Dude part to a partnership between LAFC and Bayern Munich. 1909 02:01:51.720 --> 02:01:56.119 Per sources, skepticism that talks have become advanced, as rumors 1910 02:01:56.119 --> 02:02:02.159 in Germany have suggested. Once again, remember Steve Arundelo is 1911 02:02:02.279 --> 02:02:04.319 leaving at the end of this season. You've got Olivier 1912 02:02:04.479 --> 02:02:12.319 Jerroux you wonder about Fit Diego Rossio that has been 1913 02:02:12.319 --> 02:02:16.920 acquired by RSLs homegrown rights away from Philadelphia Union. RSL 1914 02:02:16.960 --> 02:02:19.760 signed Rossio to a professional contract, starting with the second 1915 02:02:19.760 --> 02:02:21.880 team for the rest of twenty twenty five, with Rail 1916 02:02:22.000 --> 02:02:24.920 Monarchs turning to the first team in January. Philly's gonna 1917 02:02:24.920 --> 02:02:27.840 get allocation money for the homegrown rights. Union offered a 1918 02:02:27.840 --> 02:02:30.399 second team deal earlier this year, Rosseo turned it down. 1919 02:02:30.800 --> 02:02:34.319 Mless and Linga MX interested in him, but Ral Monarchs 1920 02:02:34.880 --> 02:02:37.399 got the deal done. Eligible for both US and Mexico. 1921 02:02:37.800 --> 02:02:41.640 Made his professional debut with Philadelphia Union two this year, 1922 02:02:42.159 --> 02:02:44.399 player of the tournament at the twenty four GA Cup 1923 02:02:45.359 --> 02:02:48.800 and so fifteen year old academy stand up Malik Yakopovich 1924 02:02:49.479 --> 02:02:53.199 was signed to a professional deal by the Union. Jose Nunez, 1925 02:02:53.239 --> 02:02:56.039 first to report that top priority for the club to 1926 02:02:56.039 --> 02:02:59.039 get signed, didn't want to block Rossio's progress, opened the 1927 02:02:59.079 --> 02:03:01.279 letting him lead, just as they did for Anice Saidi, 1928 02:03:01.520 --> 02:03:05.720 who was traded to San Diego this winter. Colorado finalizing 1929 02:03:05.720 --> 02:03:08.119 a deal to sign Australia youth international center back Lucas 1930 02:03:08.159 --> 02:03:12.800 Harrington from Brisbane Roar seventeen. He'll join Colorado in January, 1931 02:03:14.359 --> 02:03:17.000 a lot of folks were anticipating that Harrington would end 1932 02:03:17.079 --> 02:03:21.680 up in Europe and that got headed off. So seventeen 1933 02:03:21.760 --> 02:03:25.399 years old. Unrelated Moode Charleston Battery finalizing a deal to 1934 02:03:25.399 --> 02:03:28.319 get center back Michael Edwards on loan from the rap 1935 02:03:29.439 --> 02:03:32.239 Needing consistent minutes. It makes sense so to go to 1936 02:03:32.279 --> 02:03:35.920 a place like Charleston and Richie. Ledesma is advanced in 1937 02:03:36.000 --> 02:03:39.600 advanced talks with Chievas from PSV, Eindhope and first coming 1938 02:03:39.600 --> 02:03:42.640 from Sesel Luis Merlow. PSV have an offer on the 1939 02:03:42.640 --> 02:03:46.319 table for an extension. Other clubs are hopeful Chievas leads 1940 02:03:46.359 --> 02:03:48.439 the way out of contract this summer and can signed 1941 02:03:48.479 --> 02:03:52.680 elsewhere on a free. PSV rejected a January transfer offer 1942 02:03:52.720 --> 02:03:57.760 from Clubamerica for Ledesma. Thirty seven appearances, mainstay in the 1943 02:03:57.840 --> 02:04:01.560 Champions League in eleven other twelve matches twenty three. He's 1944 02:04:01.560 --> 02:04:05.079 spent on loan with NYCFC one cap with the US Mexico. 1945 02:04:05.119 --> 02:04:08.880 Has been in contact for a potential switch. So that's 1946 02:04:08.880 --> 02:04:11.159 your run down of the day. Once again, we'll be 1947 02:04:11.199 --> 02:04:13.520 back to talk high school, coming back top of the hour. 1948 02:04:14.079 --> 02:04:18.720 You will also be in You'll be able to listen 1949 02:04:18.760 --> 02:04:22.319 to Howard Hamilton and the Cope labertadoris update because we 1950 02:04:22.399 --> 02:04:24.880 got matches coming up there tonight.
