00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:15.839
Welcome in for another edition of The Morning Espresso on
2
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.519
the SDCH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's
3
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:25.120
premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse. I'm Jason Longshore.
4
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.960
Thanks for hanging out with me, starting another week of
5
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.559
the Espresso. Let's get caught up on World Cup qualifying.
6
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:36.159
Michael Marino hat trick as Spain was brilliant in a
7
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:41.000
six zero win over Turkey on the road yesterday. Marino
8
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.840
was incredible. It wasn't just your run of the mill
9
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.479
hat trick. The first came at the end of a
10
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:52.840
classic Spain kind of team move, the second a controlled
11
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.920
finish off of a pass from Pedri and then the
12
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.119
third a curler into the top corner. Pretty good stuff
13
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.040
from Michael Marino. Spain was unstoppable. It's their second biggest
14
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.519
ever away win in World Cup qualifying Germany. They bounced
15
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.560
back after a loss in Slovakia in game one to nil.
16
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.959
They won at home three to one over Northern Ireland.
17
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.719
Took them until the final quarter of their meeting with
18
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.200
Northern Ireland before they could secure the victory. Floria inverts
19
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.439
with the free kick to seal the win and the
20
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.400
Germans upset the Northern Irish a little bit with their
21
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.959
complaints about the style of play afterwards, to the point
22
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.680
that the return match in Belfast could be interesting. The
23
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:39.879
Dutch they went on the road and won three to
24
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.239
two against Lithuania. Memphis to Pi became the all time
25
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.799
leading Dutch goalscorer with his fifty first and fifty second
26
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:51.239
international goals to move clear of Robin van Percy. The
27
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.640
Dutch have ten points through four They lead on goal
28
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.760
difference ahead of Poland, who have played one game more.
29
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.560
But the performances weren't great in this run. A one
30
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.640
to one draw with Poland on Thursday and then the
31
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.560
three two win over Lithuania. A lot of criticism in
32
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.439
the Dutch media, which isn't exactly uncommon, but that's what's
33
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:13.400
happening at the moment. Portugal first match since the death
34
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.759
of their forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva
35
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.680
in a car accident. They took an impressive first step
36
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.240
to the World Cup finals, sweeping aside Armenia five nil.
37
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.919
Christna Ronaldo was brilliant here in this one for Portugal.
38
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.560
He scored in both halves, the second a shot from distance.
39
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.479
He has one hundred and forty goals now in his
40
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:39.639
international career. Joel Felix with two goals as well. They're
41
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.599
playing together at Al Nasser. Saudi based player Joel Conselo
42
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:50.039
also contributed route for Portugal as they beat Armenia five nil. Saturday,
43
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.919
Austria hosted Cyprus and the match was delayed after a
44
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.800
sinkhole opened up on the pitch during the second half.
45
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.639
Paused in the seventy fifth minute at the Rafician Arena
46
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.199
in Linz, to the home of Lask where George Bellow plays,
47
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.520
a sinkhole the size of a football was discovered on
48
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.680
the edge of the home team's penalty area. Austria goalkeeper
49
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.759
Alexander Schleger was pulling large clumps of turf out of
50
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.879
the hole as the referee stopped play. Play resumed ten
51
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.800
minutes later with ten minutes ten Play resumed with ten
52
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.639
minutes of stoppage time added to the end of the
53
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.560
second half. This isn't the first time that a sinkhole
54
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.400
has appeared in the playing surface. During an Austria match
55
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.400
June of twenty twenty two, at a different stadium, a
56
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.120
sinkhole appeared in the center circle shortly after full time
57
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.800
of Austria's Nations League match against Denmark at the Ernst
58
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.759
Hoppel Stadium in Vienna. What is going on with Austria?
59
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.479
They did win one nil over Cyprus. Wasn't pretty for Austria.
60
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:56.199
Marcel Sabatzer's fifty fourth minute penalty gets the win. Ralph
61
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.479
Ragnik's side is now second in Group H, three points
62
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:04.000
behind Bosnia and Herzegovina with a game in hand. England
63
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.240
four wins out of four in World Cup qualifying for them,
64
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.680
wasn't exactly convincing against Andorra. A little bit different look
65
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.240
to the starting eleven for Thomas Tukel Pukayosaka, Phil Foden,
66
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.439
Cole Palmer all out injured, total control of the match,
67
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.800
never really looked in any danger, but it wasn't very
68
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:26.279
exciting either against Andorra. Belgium. Kevin de Bruyne the talisman
69
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.279
for Belgium. A stunning goal to break the deadlock set
70
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.879
Belgium away on a six nil win to beat Kazakhstan
71
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.319
in their World Cup qualifier yesterday. Let's go to Africa Morocco.
72
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.040
They became the first African nation to qualify for the
73
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.879
World Cup. Five nil win over ten man Niger in Rabot.
74
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.959
The Atlas Lions were semi finalists in the last World Cup.
75
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.639
All they needed was three points. They knew that coming
76
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.920
into the match after Tanzania could only draw one to
77
00:04:54.920 --> 00:05:00.560
one in Congo earlier on Friday, Nigeria they re their
78
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:06.279
hopes of automatic qualification one nil win over Rwanda. It
79
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.959
wasn't easy in this one for Nigeria. It took a
80
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.279
goal from new Wolf striker tol Lou Arikadare that was
81
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.079
the match winner six minutes into the second half of
82
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.600
volley from close range. So Nigeria leapfrogs Rwanda to go
83
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.000
third in Group SEE, six points behind leader South Africa,
84
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:29.519
who they will play in South Africa on Tuesday, massive
85
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.680
massive match in African World Cup qualifying. Nigeria will also
86
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.439
be without Victor Osiemen who suffered a foot injury. He
87
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.839
missed the trip now after being injured in that match
88
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:45.240
against Rwanda. Azerbaijan they have terminated the contract of their
89
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:49.079
national team coach Fernando Santos. This was by mutual consent
90
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.279
announced today, days after a five nil loss to Iceland
91
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.920
in a World Cup qualifier. Santos winless and eleven matches
92
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.000
since taking charge of Azerbaijan in June of twenty twenty five,
93
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.160
for nine losses out of the eleven. It was so bad.
94
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:07.079
And then the postgame press conferences media from Azerbaijan were
95
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:11.120
informing Santos of a direct flight from Iceland to his
96
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:16.240
home country of Portugal. Yeah, not good. Today's qualifiers Italy
97
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.800
they will look to make three victories in a row
98
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.480
as they face Israel in a match today, and it's
99
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.600
a big one for Italy. They got to go basically
100
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.959
unbeaten the rest of the way and flip the gold
101
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.879
difference to pass Norway to earn automatic qualification. They will
102
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:36.839
host Norway in November. Israel they are nine points through
103
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.040
four games. They're in the second spot ahead of Italy,
104
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.519
so this is a big one as both teams try
105
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.560
to challenge Norway for that automatic spot. Croatia they will
106
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.800
try to pull level on points with Cechia as they
107
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:53.240
host Montenegro today. Croatia has a significant advantage in gold difference.
108
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:54.720
They would also have a game in hand if they
109
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.720
get the three points, so they would be in control
110
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:01.279
of their group. Libya in African qualifying, they host winless
111
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.360
Swatini today. A win in Group C in Africa really
112
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.319
becomes interesting here. If Libya can do it, all eyes
113
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.240
are going to be on Cape Verde and Cameroon tomorrow.
114
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.879
Cape Verdi leading the group, Cameroon second. Libya would pull
115
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:16.800
to within two points at the top of the table
116
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.560
with two games left to play in October. If they
117
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:23.480
get the win today Algeria, they could clinch qualification today
118
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.480
with a win and some other results going their way.
119
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.360
In Group G, Algeria's on the road at Guinea. They
120
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.920
need Uganda to fault to fail to pick up maximum
121
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.279
points at home to Somalia. They need help from Botswana
122
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.079
to take points off of Mozambique Tunisia. They can earn
123
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.199
a spot by the end of this window. If they
124
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.480
win at Equatorial Guinea today, they won't know till tomorrow
125
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.279
with the results there. Group I, this is the Group
126
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.920
of Chaos in Africa. Colmos has played their games in
127
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.439
this round. They sit on fifteen points in second place.
128
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.560
They've got two games left in October. That's one point
129
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.720
behind Ghana. Ghana are on sixteen points. They host Molly,
130
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.519
who is on twelve points in fourth place, but very
131
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.920
much still alive. In this group, Madagascar is in third
132
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:10.839
place on thirteen points. They host winless Chad today now.
133
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.560
Even though they haven't won, Chad threw the group into
134
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:17.800
chaos with a draw against Ghana, the leaders on Thursday.
135
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.720
MLS updates from the weekend. Owen Wolf formerly of the
136
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:25.480
Atlanta United Academy before moving to Austin with his father.
137
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.600
It's one of the hottest young Americans in MLS. Scored
138
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.079
a goal, had an assist on the late winner Austin
139
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:34.600
two to one win at Sporting Kansas City. Twenty years old.
140
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.440
Wolf made it five goals in his last seven appearances
141
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.159
with the equalizer in the thirty seventh minute. It was
142
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.799
his corner that found CJ. Faudry for his first MLS
143
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:47.000
goal that was the match winner in the eighty second minute.
144
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.960
Wolf leads Austin with eleven goal contributions this season. The
145
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.840
win also puts them into sixth place in the Western Conference,
146
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.720
eight points above the playoff line with six to play.
147
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.919
Dallas one one draw at Saint Louis City despite losing
148
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:04.799
goalkeeper Michael Colode with a red card in the sixteenth minute.
149
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.440
Jacob Jackson made his FC Dallas debut and goal eleven
150
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.919
saves for him in the match, second most saves in
151
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:16.159
FC Dallas history. The thirteen combined saves by Coloda and
152
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.000
Jackson are the most ever in a match for FC Dallas.
153
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.080
Saint Louis finished the match with an edge of forty
154
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.279
one to five in shots, but only one goal out
155
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:28.879
of forty one shots. In WSL Kansas City Current, they
156
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:32.039
beat BAFC two nil at PayPal Park to extend their
157
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:36.440
league lead over Washington to seventeen points. The current set
158
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:39.039
INWSL records for the most wins on the road in
159
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:42.639
a season with nine and consecutive shutout minutes with six
160
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.840
hundred and thirty two. Black Cowendanofski also became just the
161
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:51.200
second coach in NWSL history after Laura Harvey, to earn
162
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:56.120
one hundred regular season wins. The Chicago Stars. They celebrated
163
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.440
their first game at Northwestern University with a five to
164
00:09:58.840 --> 00:10:03.480
win over the defending champions Orlando Pride. Ludmilla and Julia
165
00:10:03.559 --> 00:10:06.000
Grosso each had a goal and an assist as the
166
00:10:06.000 --> 00:10:09.600
Stars won for only the second time in nineteen games.
167
00:10:09.639 --> 00:10:12.799
In twenty twenty five, they drew over ten thousand fans
168
00:10:12.840 --> 00:10:16.759
to Northwestern Medicine Field at Martin Stadium that's gonna be
169
00:10:16.919 --> 00:10:20.279
Chicago's new home in twenty twenty six. The twelve thousand
170

miss Chelsea's two to one win over Manchester City with
191
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.840
a calf injury, and Alyssa Thompson just transfer went through
192
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.519
right before the game, the day before the game, so
193
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:47.039
Nobelissa Thompson obviously yet for Chelsea. She'll start training with
194
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:51.120

first win over an SEC team since two thousand and five.
198
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.720
Reyes Gordon's finish off of an Aliah Fidul Cross was
199
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:08.240
the difference. Mercer's women they dominated Gardner Webb five mil win.
200
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:12.039
On Senior Day, Oklahoma transfer and senior Morgan Ikele Barner
201
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.840
had a hat trick. She's been playing really, really well
202
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.799
for the Bears as of late. Mercer's men, it was
203
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.879
a crazy finish. It's a weird game all the way around.
204
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.720
A mishit cross from Toluada Yemmi ends up in the
205
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.639
back of the net in the last minute, forty plus
206
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.360
seconds left on the clock that pulled them level with
207
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:34.000
number twenty two ranks South Florida. Match finished one pint one.
208
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.720
South Florida had all the control of the game. They
209
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:40.360
were slowing everything down, they were keeping possession, they were
210
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:44.279
playing keep away, but they didn't put the game away.
211
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.919
And sometimes when you do that, miss hit crosses end
212
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:49.240
up in the back of the net and you end
213
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.440
up dropping results. Georgia's women they drew one to one
214
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.559

In January, turned down a lucrative offer to become Belgium's
232
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:59.519
national team coach, which is why even yesterday people familiar
233
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:01.440
with him weren't sure if he'd even take the job
234
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.440
at Levercusen, but it sounds like he has. Byron Munich
235
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.279
on the women's side, they smashed the Frauen Bundesliga's attendance record,
236
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.159

sixty two for their two nail win over byer Leverkusen

00:14:18.919 --> 00:14:22.360
eight thousand for a match between Cologne and Eintrach Frankfurt
240
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.200

a framed jersey moments after their three nail loss to
243
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:38.000
the Houston Dash. Not something you typically see in retired
244
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:43.000
jersey numbers in the sport. Occasionally it will happen. San
245
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.360
Diego Wave have made that happen for Alex Morgan. News
246
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.000
out of England today Tottenham Hotspur. They say they are
247
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:53.840
categorically not for sale, despite expressions of interest from various parties,
248
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:58.320
including former Newcastle co owner Amanda Staveley. The departure of
249
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.679
Daniel Levy on Thursday, when he he was let go
250
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.039
it sparked rumors of an imminent change of ownership. On
251
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:09.200
Monday morning, PCP International Finance, the investment vehicle led by Staveley,
252
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.519
They confirmed that they had been interested in a potential move.
253
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:16.639
They confirmed that they quote do not intend to make
254
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.720
an offer for Tottenham unquote, and takeover rules mean that
255
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.960
the company cannot return with an offer for the club
256
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:27.440
within the next six months. Andrea Onnana. He is closing
257
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:30.240
in on a loan move to Trabzonspor in Turkey after
258
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:34.039
deciding to leave Manchester United's According to ESPN, he also
259
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.200
stands to virtually double his wages by leaving for the
260
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.039
rest of the season. Not bad PSG. They are unhappy
261
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.720
with French national team head coach Dider dea Schamp for
262
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:47.200
playing Usman Dimbele in Friday's match against Ukraine, despite the
263
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:50.879
forward having a hamstring injury that PSG described as serious.
264
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:54.240
Dimbele a strong candidate for the ballon d'Or probably should
265
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.200
win it. He will be sidelined for at least six weeks.
266
00:15:57.399 --> 00:16:00.039
Desiree Due will also miss four weeks after being in
267
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.759
in the match. PSG has written to the French Football
268
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:06.440
Federation demanding a better working relationship between club and country.
269
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:10.840
They want a more transparent and collaborative medical coordination protocol
270
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:13.480
and the club wants to prevent these kind of things
271
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:16.720
from happening in the future. The club says they provided
272
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.759
the national team with medical information concerning workloads and the
273
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:23.279
injury risk to their players. They argue that Deschamp, who
274
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.360
accepted that they received the reports, just overlooked it. Then
275
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:29.360
Belle is going to miss the first Champions League game
276
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.919
against Atalanta, the second one away at Barcelona, and potentially
277
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:35.960
the trip to bayer Leverkusen in legah, He's going to
278
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.960
miss a big game with Marseille, along with several other fixtures.
279
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:42.320
Centuries all around. At PSG head coach Luis Enriquez was
280
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.159
sent for surgery after breaking a collarbone in a cycling
281
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:47.759
accident on Friday. It's going to be okay, but man
282
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.279
psg'sus bad luck right now. Also bad luck. Arling Holland
283
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.000
Manchester City striker suffered a cut to his face that
284
00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.559
required stitches after a freak accident while on international duty
285
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:02.759
with Norway. He posted a picture on Snapchat showing a
286
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.000
cut under the right side of his lip, with the
287
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:08.599
caption just got banged out by a bus door thumbs
288
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:13.960
up emoji, three stitches, laughing face emoji. Norwegian publication VG
289
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.039
they report that he was hit by a luggage door
290
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.960
as he exited the bus, not a serious injury. He
291
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.240
continued to joke about the accident on social media. He
292
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.720
said the cut look good. Not looking good at the
293
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.839
moment is Barcelona's not gonna get out of this edition
294
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.400
of the Morning Espresso without a little Barcelona talk. That's
295
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.559
what we do around here. They always provide the content.
296
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:36.839
And we still don't know where their first La Lega
297
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:38.880
home match is going to be played. I mean it's
298
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:40.720
going to be this weekend. We don't know where it's
299
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.799
gonna be played though it's match week and we don't
300
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.200
know where the games? Can it be? Can't be delayed
301
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:51.839
much longer? Can it? Should be announced? Tomorrow Barcelona City
302
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:54.680
Council will carry out a new inspection of the construction
303
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:58.680
work at the Spotify camp new the Blograna does not
304
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:02.000
have the final construction certificate that it must have to
305
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:05.240
send to the Barcelona City Council in order to grant
306
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:09.759
the first occupancy license for the stadium. So it's looking
307
00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:11.440
more and more like the game is going to have
308
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:13.640
to be played and La League is allowing them to
309
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:17.480
do this at the Estadi Johann Kroif, the small stadium
310
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.319
for the reserve team and for the women's team. It's
311
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:24.680
not a good situation. They're really not even supposed to
312
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:27.079
play it there because of the size, but they can
313
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.680
meet all the technical requirements that they need to. Barcelona
314
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.160
is still trying to get the game in the Camp New.
315
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.960
They're going to work with all parties involved, trying to
316
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.279
get everything done to have this game at the Camp New,
317
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.599
but they don't have what they need. They don't have
318
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.079
the final construction certificate. The city council hasn't been able
319
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:53.160
to inspect the work. Yeah, good job Barcelona. Maybe we'll
320
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.400
find out before the game where it's going to be played.
321
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:58.279
That'll do it for this edition of The Morning Espresso
322
00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:01.119
will be back tomorrow to get your for the final
323
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:04.400
day of the international break with World Cup qualifiers all
324
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:09.200
over the place, international friendlies and more. That will be tomorrow. Also,
325
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:13.079
don't forget tomorrow night, we're having an event part of
326
00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:17.359
our Atlanta Soccer City USA series at Emory University. We're
327
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:19.920
going to talk to Emory men's head coach Corey Griner,
328
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:24.079
women's head coach Sue Patberg to talk about Emory soccer,
329
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:27.880
their place in the Atlanta soccer ecosystem, the history of
330
00:19:27.920 --> 00:19:31.240
the program which dates back to nineteen fifty eight, and more.
331
00:19:31.319 --> 00:19:34.279
That's going to start at seven o'clock in the Jones
332
00:19:34.400 --> 00:19:37.960
Room at the Woodruff Library on campus at Emory University.
333
00:19:38.240 --> 00:19:40.680
Hope you can be there for us or with us
334
00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:44.920
for that. We'll also have content from that on our
335
00:19:44.960 --> 00:19:48.400
social media platforms as well. We'll have some social media
336
00:19:48.440 --> 00:19:52.319
content from John Nelson's trip to Statesborough to see South
337
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.920
Georgia Tormento over the weekend, an interview with owner Darren
338
00:19:54.960 --> 00:19:57.599
van Tassel that'll be up on the network later today,
339
00:19:57.640 --> 00:20:01.519
along with SDHAM which we'll start at nine on the
340
00:20:01.640 --> 00:20:06.319
Soccer down here, YouTube x and Twitch channels. I'll be
341
00:20:06.359 --> 00:20:08.599
back with Espresso tomorrow. See y'all then,
1
00:00:12.759 --> 00:00:15.839
Welcome in for another edition of The Morning Espresso on
2
00:00:15.880 --> 00:00:19.519
the SDCH Network, brought to you by Oglethorpe University, Atlanta's
3
00:00:19.559 --> 00:00:25.120
premier undergraduate learning experience and soccer powerhouse. I'm Jason Longshore.
4
00:00:25.160 --> 00:00:27.960
Thanks for hanging out with me, starting another week of
5
00:00:28.120 --> 00:00:31.559
the Espresso. Let's get caught up on World Cup qualifying.
6
00:00:31.920 --> 00:00:36.159
Michael Marino hat trick as Spain was brilliant in a
7
00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:41.000
six zero win over Turkey on the road yesterday. Marino
8
00:00:41.439 --> 00:00:43.840
was incredible. It wasn't just your run of the mill
9
00:00:44.000 --> 00:00:47.479
hat trick. The first came at the end of a
10
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:52.840
classic Spain kind of team move, the second a controlled
11
00:00:52.920 --> 00:00:55.920
finish off of a pass from Pedri and then the
12
00:00:55.960 --> 00:01:00.119
third a curler into the top corner. Pretty good stuff
13
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:04.040
from Michael Marino. Spain was unstoppable. It's their second biggest
14
00:01:04.120 --> 00:01:08.519
ever away win in World Cup qualifying Germany. They bounced
15
00:01:08.519 --> 00:01:12.560
back after a loss in Slovakia in game one to nil.
16
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.959
They won at home three to one over Northern Ireland.
17
00:01:16.400 --> 00:01:18.719
Took them until the final quarter of their meeting with
18
00:01:18.799 --> 00:01:22.200
Northern Ireland before they could secure the victory. Floria inverts
19
00:01:22.400 --> 00:01:26.439
with the free kick to seal the win and the
20
00:01:26.519 --> 00:01:29.400
Germans upset the Northern Irish a little bit with their
21
00:01:29.400 --> 00:01:32.959
complaints about the style of play afterwards, to the point
22
00:01:33.000 --> 00:01:37.680
that the return match in Belfast could be interesting. The
23
00:01:37.799 --> 00:01:39.879
Dutch they went on the road and won three to
24
00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:43.239
two against Lithuania. Memphis to Pi became the all time
25
00:01:43.319 --> 00:01:46.799
leading Dutch goalscorer with his fifty first and fifty second
26
00:01:46.840 --> 00:01:51.239
international goals to move clear of Robin van Percy. The
27
00:01:51.319 --> 00:01:53.640
Dutch have ten points through four They lead on goal
28
00:01:53.719 --> 00:01:56.760
difference ahead of Poland, who have played one game more.
29
00:01:57.560 --> 00:02:00.560
But the performances weren't great in this run. A one
30
00:02:00.599 --> 00:02:02.640
to one draw with Poland on Thursday and then the
31
00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:05.560
three two win over Lithuania. A lot of criticism in
32
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:09.439
the Dutch media, which isn't exactly uncommon, but that's what's
33
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:13.400
happening at the moment. Portugal first match since the death
34
00:02:13.479 --> 00:02:16.759
of their forward Diogo Jota and his brother Andre Silva
35
00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:19.680
in a car accident. They took an impressive first step
36
00:02:19.680 --> 00:02:23.240
to the World Cup finals, sweeping aside Armenia five nil.
37
00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:27.919
Christna Ronaldo was brilliant here in this one for Portugal.
38
00:02:28.120 --> 00:02:31.560
He scored in both halves, the second a shot from distance.
39
00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.479
He has one hundred and forty goals now in his
40
00:02:34.639 --> 00:02:39.639
international career. Joel Felix with two goals as well. They're
41
00:02:39.680 --> 00:02:43.599
playing together at Al Nasser. Saudi based player Joel Conselo
42
00:02:43.840 --> 00:02:50.039
also contributed route for Portugal as they beat Armenia five nil. Saturday,
43
00:02:50.240 --> 00:02:54.919
Austria hosted Cyprus and the match was delayed after a
44
00:02:55.039 --> 00:02:57.800
sinkhole opened up on the pitch during the second half.
45
00:02:58.400 --> 00:03:02.639
Paused in the seventy fifth minute at the Rafician Arena
46
00:03:02.719 --> 00:03:07.199
in Linz, to the home of Lask where George Bellow plays,
47
00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:10.520
a sinkhole the size of a football was discovered on
48
00:03:10.560 --> 00:03:13.680
the edge of the home team's penalty area. Austria goalkeeper
49
00:03:13.719 --> 00:03:17.759
Alexander Schleger was pulling large clumps of turf out of
50
00:03:17.800 --> 00:03:21.879
the hole as the referee stopped play. Play resumed ten
51
00:03:21.919 --> 00:03:25.800
minutes later with ten minutes ten Play resumed with ten
52
00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:27.639
minutes of stoppage time added to the end of the
53
00:03:27.680 --> 00:03:30.560
second half. This isn't the first time that a sinkhole
54
00:03:30.560 --> 00:03:33.400
has appeared in the playing surface. During an Austria match
55
00:03:34.000 --> 00:03:37.400
June of twenty twenty two, at a different stadium, a
56
00:03:37.439 --> 00:03:41.120
sinkhole appeared in the center circle shortly after full time
57
00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.800
of Austria's Nations League match against Denmark at the Ernst
58
00:03:44.800 --> 00:03:47.759
Hoppel Stadium in Vienna. What is going on with Austria?
59
00:03:47.919 --> 00:03:51.479
They did win one nil over Cyprus. Wasn't pretty for Austria.
60
00:03:51.759 --> 00:03:56.199
Marcel Sabatzer's fifty fourth minute penalty gets the win. Ralph
61
00:03:56.280 --> 00:03:59.479
Ragnik's side is now second in Group H, three points
62
00:03:59.560 --> 00:04:04.000
behind Bosnia and Herzegovina with a game in hand. England
63
00:04:04.039 --> 00:04:07.240
four wins out of four in World Cup qualifying for them,
64
00:04:07.400 --> 00:04:11.680
wasn't exactly convincing against Andorra. A little bit different look
65
00:04:11.719 --> 00:04:15.240
to the starting eleven for Thomas Tukel Pukayosaka, Phil Foden,
66
00:04:15.280 --> 00:04:18.439
Cole Palmer all out injured, total control of the match,
67
00:04:18.519 --> 00:04:20.800
never really looked in any danger, but it wasn't very
68
00:04:20.839 --> 00:04:26.279
exciting either against Andorra. Belgium. Kevin de Bruyne the talisman
69
00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:29.279
for Belgium. A stunning goal to break the deadlock set
70
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:32.879
Belgium away on a six nil win to beat Kazakhstan
71
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:37.319
in their World Cup qualifier yesterday. Let's go to Africa Morocco.
72
00:04:37.399 --> 00:04:40.040
They became the first African nation to qualify for the
73
00:04:40.040 --> 00:04:43.879
World Cup. Five nil win over ten man Niger in Rabot.
74
00:04:44.399 --> 00:04:47.959
The Atlas Lions were semi finalists in the last World Cup.
75
00:04:48.279 --> 00:04:50.639
All they needed was three points. They knew that coming
76
00:04:50.720 --> 00:04:54.920
into the match after Tanzania could only draw one to
77
00:04:54.920 --> 00:05:00.560
one in Congo earlier on Friday, Nigeria they re their
78
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:06.279
hopes of automatic qualification one nil win over Rwanda. It
79
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:09.959
wasn't easy in this one for Nigeria. It took a
80
00:05:10.000 --> 00:05:14.279
goal from new Wolf striker tol Lou Arikadare that was
81
00:05:14.319 --> 00:05:17.079
the match winner six minutes into the second half of
82
00:05:17.160 --> 00:05:21.600
volley from close range. So Nigeria leapfrogs Rwanda to go
83
00:05:21.720 --> 00:05:25.000
third in Group SEE, six points behind leader South Africa,
84
00:05:25.160 --> 00:05:29.519
who they will play in South Africa on Tuesday, massive
85
00:05:30.000 --> 00:05:33.680
massive match in African World Cup qualifying. Nigeria will also
86
00:05:33.759 --> 00:05:37.439
be without Victor Osiemen who suffered a foot injury. He
87
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.839
missed the trip now after being injured in that match
88
00:05:40.879 --> 00:05:45.240
against Rwanda. Azerbaijan they have terminated the contract of their
89
00:05:45.319 --> 00:05:49.079
national team coach Fernando Santos. This was by mutual consent
90
00:05:49.800 --> 00:05:53.279
announced today, days after a five nil loss to Iceland
91
00:05:53.279 --> 00:05:56.920
in a World Cup qualifier. Santos winless and eleven matches
92
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.000
since taking charge of Azerbaijan in June of twenty twenty five,
93
00:06:00.120 --> 00:06:03.160
for nine losses out of the eleven. It was so bad.
94
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:07.079
And then the postgame press conferences media from Azerbaijan were
95
00:06:07.079 --> 00:06:11.120
informing Santos of a direct flight from Iceland to his
96
00:06:11.199 --> 00:06:16.240
home country of Portugal. Yeah, not good. Today's qualifiers Italy
97
00:06:16.439 --> 00:06:18.800
they will look to make three victories in a row
98
00:06:18.800 --> 00:06:21.480
as they face Israel in a match today, and it's
99
00:06:21.480 --> 00:06:23.600
a big one for Italy. They got to go basically
100
00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:26.959
unbeaten the rest of the way and flip the gold
101
00:06:26.959 --> 00:06:30.879
difference to pass Norway to earn automatic qualification. They will
102
00:06:30.879 --> 00:06:36.839
host Norway in November. Israel they are nine points through
103
00:06:36.920 --> 00:06:40.040
four games. They're in the second spot ahead of Italy,
104
00:06:40.480 --> 00:06:42.519
so this is a big one as both teams try
105
00:06:42.519 --> 00:06:46.560
to challenge Norway for that automatic spot. Croatia they will
106
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:48.800
try to pull level on points with Cechia as they
107
00:06:48.839 --> 00:06:53.240
host Montenegro today. Croatia has a significant advantage in gold difference.
108
00:06:53.279 --> 00:06:54.720
They would also have a game in hand if they
109
00:06:54.800 --> 00:06:56.720
get the three points, so they would be in control
110
00:06:56.800 --> 00:07:01.279
of their group. Libya in African qualifying, they host winless
111
00:07:01.399 --> 00:07:05.360
Swatini today. A win in Group C in Africa really
112
00:07:05.399 --> 00:07:08.319
becomes interesting here. If Libya can do it, all eyes
113
00:07:08.360 --> 00:07:11.240
are going to be on Cape Verde and Cameroon tomorrow.
114
00:07:11.600 --> 00:07:14.879
Cape Verdi leading the group, Cameroon second. Libya would pull
115
00:07:14.920 --> 00:07:16.800
to within two points at the top of the table
116
00:07:16.839 --> 00:07:19.560
with two games left to play in October. If they
117
00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:23.480
get the win today Algeria, they could clinch qualification today
118
00:07:23.519 --> 00:07:25.480
with a win and some other results going their way.
119
00:07:25.519 --> 00:07:28.360
In Group G, Algeria's on the road at Guinea. They
120
00:07:28.360 --> 00:07:30.920
need Uganda to fault to fail to pick up maximum
121
00:07:30.959 --> 00:07:34.279
points at home to Somalia. They need help from Botswana
122
00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:38.079
to take points off of Mozambique Tunisia. They can earn
123
00:07:38.120 --> 00:07:40.199
a spot by the end of this window. If they
124
00:07:40.240 --> 00:07:43.480
win at Equatorial Guinea today, they won't know till tomorrow
125
00:07:43.519 --> 00:07:47.279
with the results there. Group I, this is the Group
126
00:07:47.279 --> 00:07:50.920
of Chaos in Africa. Colmos has played their games in
127
00:07:50.920 --> 00:07:53.439
this round. They sit on fifteen points in second place.
128
00:07:53.439 --> 00:07:56.560
They've got two games left in October. That's one point
129
00:07:56.560 --> 00:08:00.720
behind Ghana. Ghana are on sixteen points. They host Molly,
130
00:08:00.800 --> 00:08:03.519
who is on twelve points in fourth place, but very
131
00:08:03.600 --> 00:08:06.920
much still alive. In this group, Madagascar is in third
132
00:08:06.959 --> 00:08:10.839
place on thirteen points. They host winless Chad today now.
133
00:08:10.879 --> 00:08:13.560
Even though they haven't won, Chad threw the group into
134
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:17.800
chaos with a draw against Ghana, the leaders on Thursday.
135
00:08:18.839 --> 00:08:21.720
MLS updates from the weekend. Owen Wolf formerly of the
136
00:08:21.720 --> 00:08:25.480
Atlanta United Academy before moving to Austin with his father.
137
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:28.600
It's one of the hottest young Americans in MLS. Scored
138
00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.079
a goal, had an assist on the late winner Austin
139
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:34.600
two to one win at Sporting Kansas City. Twenty years old.
140
00:08:34.639 --> 00:08:37.440
Wolf made it five goals in his last seven appearances
141
00:08:37.759 --> 00:08:40.159
with the equalizer in the thirty seventh minute. It was
142
00:08:40.159 --> 00:08:43.799
his corner that found CJ. Faudry for his first MLS
143
00:08:43.799 --> 00:08:47.000
goal that was the match winner in the eighty second minute.
144
00:08:47.080 --> 00:08:50.960
Wolf leads Austin with eleven goal contributions this season. The
145
00:08:51.000 --> 00:08:53.840
win also puts them into sixth place in the Western Conference,
146
00:08:53.879 --> 00:08:56.720
eight points above the playoff line with six to play.
147
00:08:57.639 --> 00:09:00.919
Dallas one one draw at Saint Louis City despite losing
148
00:09:00.919 --> 00:09:04.799
goalkeeper Michael Colode with a red card in the sixteenth minute.
149
00:09:04.919 --> 00:09:08.440
Jacob Jackson made his FC Dallas debut and goal eleven
150
00:09:08.480 --> 00:09:11.919
saves for him in the match, second most saves in
151
00:09:12.000 --> 00:09:16.159
FC Dallas history. The thirteen combined saves by Coloda and
152
00:09:16.240 --> 00:09:19.000
Jackson are the most ever in a match for FC Dallas.
153
00:09:19.200 --> 00:09:22.080
Saint Louis finished the match with an edge of forty
154
00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.279
one to five in shots, but only one goal out
155
00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:28.879
of forty one shots. In WSL Kansas City Current, they
156
00:09:28.879 --> 00:09:32.039
beat BAFC two nil at PayPal Park to extend their
157
00:09:32.159 --> 00:09:36.440
league lead over Washington to seventeen points. The current set
158
00:09:36.480 --> 00:09:39.039
INWSL records for the most wins on the road in
159
00:09:39.120 --> 00:09:42.639
a season with nine and consecutive shutout minutes with six
160
00:09:42.759 --> 00:09:46.840
hundred and thirty two. Black Cowendanofski also became just the
161
00:09:46.840 --> 00:09:51.200
second coach in NWSL history after Laura Harvey, to earn
162
00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:56.120
one hundred regular season wins. The Chicago Stars. They celebrated
163
00:09:56.159 --> 00:09:58.440

190
00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:36.840
miss Chelsea's two to one win over Manchester City with
191
00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:40.840
a calf injury, and Alyssa Thompson just transfer went through
192
00:11:41.000 --> 00:11:43.519
right before the game, the day before the game, so
193
00:11:43.600 --> 00:11:47.039
Nobelissa Thompson obviously yet for Chelsea. She'll start training with
194
00:11:47.080 --> 00:11:51.120

first win over an SEC team since two thousand and five.
198
00:12:00.480 --> 00:12:03.720
Reyes Gordon's finish off of an Aliah Fidul Cross was
199
00:12:03.840 --> 00:12:08.240
the difference. Mercer's women they dominated Gardner Webb five mil win.
200
00:12:08.360 --> 00:12:12.039
On Senior Day, Oklahoma transfer and senior Morgan Ikele Barner
201
00:12:12.320 --> 00:12:14.840
had a hat trick. She's been playing really, really well
202
00:12:14.879 --> 00:12:17.799
for the Bears as of late. Mercer's men, it was
203
00:12:17.840 --> 00:12:20.879
a crazy finish. It's a weird game all the way around.
204
00:12:21.399 --> 00:12:24.720
A mishit cross from Toluada Yemmi ends up in the
205
00:12:24.759 --> 00:12:27.639
back of the net in the last minute, forty plus
206
00:12:27.679 --> 00:12:30.360
seconds left on the clock that pulled them level with
207
00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:34.000
number twenty two ranks South Florida. Match finished one pint one.
208
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:37.720
South Florida had all the control of the game. They
209
00:12:37.799 --> 00:12:40.360
were slowing everything down, they were keeping possession, they were
210
00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:44.279
playing keep away, but they didn't put the game away.
211
00:12:44.759 --> 00:12:47.919
And sometimes when you do that, miss hit crosses end
212
00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:49.240
up in the back of the net and you end
213
00:12:49.320 --> 00:12:52.440
up dropping results. Georgia's women they drew one to one
214
00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:54.559

In January, turned down a lucrative offer to become Belgium's
232
00:13:55.639 --> 00:13:59.519
national team coach, which is why even yesterday people familiar
233
00:13:59.559 --> 00:14:01.440
with him weren't sure if he'd even take the job
234
00:14:01.519 --> 00:14:05.440
at Levercusen, but it sounds like he has. Byron Munich
235
00:14:05.519 --> 00:14:09.279
on the women's side, they smashed the Frauen Bundesliga's attendance record,
236
00:14:09.360 --> 00:14:12.159

eight thousand for a match between Cologne and Eintrach Frankfurt
240
00:14:22.360 --> 00:14:26.200

a framed jersey moments after their three nail loss to
243
00:14:32.919 --> 00:14:38.000
the Houston Dash. Not something you typically see in retired
244
00:14:38.240 --> 00:14:43.000
jersey numbers in the sport. Occasionally it will happen. San
245
00:14:43.039 --> 00:14:46.360
Diego Wave have made that happen for Alex Morgan. News
246
00:14:46.399 --> 00:14:49.000
out of England today Tottenham Hotspur. They say they are
247
00:14:49.159 --> 00:14:53.840
categorically not for sale, despite expressions of interest from various parties,
248
00:14:53.879 --> 00:14:58.320
including former Newcastle co owner Amanda Staveley. The departure of
249
00:14:58.399 --> 00:15:00.679
Daniel Levy on Thursday, when he he was let go
250
00:15:00.759 --> 00:15:04.039
it sparked rumors of an imminent change of ownership. On
251
00:15:04.120 --> 00:15:09.200
Monday morning, PCP International Finance, the investment vehicle led by Staveley,
252
00:15:09.720 --> 00:15:12.519
They confirmed that they had been interested in a potential move.
253
00:15:12.799 --> 00:15:16.639
They confirmed that they quote do not intend to make
254
00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:20.720
an offer for Tottenham unquote, and takeover rules mean that
255
00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.960
the company cannot return with an offer for the club
256
00:15:24.000 --> 00:15:27.440
within the next six months. Andrea Onnana. He is closing
257
00:15:27.480 --> 00:15:30.240
in on a loan move to Trabzonspor in Turkey after
258
00:15:30.320 --> 00:15:34.039
deciding to leave Manchester United's According to ESPN, he also
259
00:15:34.080 --> 00:15:37.200
stands to virtually double his wages by leaving for the
260
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.039
rest of the season. Not bad PSG. They are unhappy
261
00:15:41.080 --> 00:15:43.720
with French national team head coach Dider dea Schamp for
262
00:15:43.799 --> 00:15:47.200
playing Usman Dimbele in Friday's match against Ukraine, despite the
263
00:15:47.240 --> 00:15:50.879
forward having a hamstring injury that PSG described as serious.
264
00:15:51.399 --> 00:15:54.240
Dimbele a strong candidate for the ballon d'Or probably should
265
00:15:54.240 --> 00:15:57.200
win it. He will be sidelined for at least six weeks.
266
00:15:57.399 --> 00:16:00.039
Desiree Due will also miss four weeks after being in
267
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:02.759
in the match. PSG has written to the French Football
268
00:16:02.840 --> 00:16:06.440
Federation demanding a better working relationship between club and country.
269
00:16:06.759 --> 00:16:10.840
They want a more transparent and collaborative medical coordination protocol
270
00:16:11.480 --> 00:16:13.480
and the club wants to prevent these kind of things
271
00:16:13.480 --> 00:16:16.720
from happening in the future. The club says they provided
272
00:16:16.720 --> 00:16:19.759
the national team with medical information concerning workloads and the
273
00:16:19.799 --> 00:16:23.279
injury risk to their players. They argue that Deschamp, who
274
00:16:23.279 --> 00:16:27.360
accepted that they received the reports, just overlooked it. Then
275
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:29.360
Belle is going to miss the first Champions League game
276
00:16:29.399 --> 00:16:32.919
against Atalanta, the second one away at Barcelona, and potentially
277
00:16:33.039 --> 00:16:35.960
the trip to bayer Leverkusen in legah, He's going to
278
00:16:35.960 --> 00:16:38.960
miss a big game with Marseille, along with several other fixtures.
279
00:16:39.519 --> 00:16:42.320
Centuries all around. At PSG head coach Luis Enriquez was
280
00:16:42.320 --> 00:16:45.159
sent for surgery after breaking a collarbone in a cycling
281
00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:47.759
accident on Friday. It's going to be okay, but man
282
00:16:48.000 --> 00:16:52.279
psg'sus bad luck right now. Also bad luck. Arling Holland
283
00:16:52.480 --> 00:16:56.000
Manchester City striker suffered a cut to his face that
284
00:16:56.120 --> 00:16:59.559
required stitches after a freak accident while on international duty
285
00:16:59.600 --> 00:17:02.759
with Norway. He posted a picture on Snapchat showing a
286
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:05.000
cut under the right side of his lip, with the
287
00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:08.599
caption just got banged out by a bus door thumbs
288
00:17:08.640 --> 00:17:13.960
up emoji, three stitches, laughing face emoji. Norwegian publication VG
289
00:17:14.759 --> 00:17:17.039
they report that he was hit by a luggage door
290
00:17:17.039 --> 00:17:19.960
as he exited the bus, not a serious injury. He
291
00:17:20.000 --> 00:17:22.240
continued to joke about the accident on social media. He
292
00:17:22.279 --> 00:17:25.720
said the cut look good. Not looking good at the
293
00:17:25.720 --> 00:17:28.839
moment is Barcelona's not gonna get out of this edition
294
00:17:28.880 --> 00:17:31.400
of the Morning Espresso without a little Barcelona talk. That's
295
00:17:31.440 --> 00:17:34.559
what we do around here. They always provide the content.
296
00:17:34.680 --> 00:17:36.839
And we still don't know where their first La Lega
297
00:17:36.880 --> 00:17:38.880
home match is going to be played. I mean it's
298
00:17:38.920 --> 00:17:40.720
going to be this weekend. We don't know where it's
299
00:17:40.720 --> 00:17:44.799
gonna be played though it's match week and we don't
300
00:17:44.839 --> 00:17:47.200
know where the games? Can it be? Can't be delayed
301
00:17:47.279 --> 00:17:51.839
much longer? Can it? Should be announced? Tomorrow Barcelona City
302
00:17:51.839 --> 00:17:54.680
Council will carry out a new inspection of the construction
303
00:17:54.839 --> 00:17:58.680
work at the Spotify camp new the Blograna does not
304
00:17:58.880 --> 00:18:02.000
have the final construction certificate that it must have to
305
00:18:02.119 --> 00:18:05.240
send to the Barcelona City Council in order to grant
306
00:18:05.359 --> 00:18:09.759
the first occupancy license for the stadium. So it's looking
307
00:18:09.799 --> 00:18:11.440
more and more like the game is going to have
308
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:13.640
to be played and La League is allowing them to
309
00:18:13.720 --> 00:18:17.480
do this at the Estadi Johann Kroif, the small stadium
310
00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:21.319
for the reserve team and for the women's team. It's
311
00:18:22.400 --> 00:18:24.680
not a good situation. They're really not even supposed to
312
00:18:24.720 --> 00:18:27.079
play it there because of the size, but they can
313
00:18:27.119 --> 00:18:30.680
meet all the technical requirements that they need to. Barcelona
314
00:18:30.759 --> 00:18:33.160
is still trying to get the game in the Camp New.
315
00:18:33.440 --> 00:18:37.960
They're going to work with all parties involved, trying to
316
00:18:38.079 --> 00:18:41.279
get everything done to have this game at the Camp New,
317
00:18:41.400 --> 00:18:44.599
but they don't have what they need. They don't have
318
00:18:44.599 --> 00:18:48.079
the final construction certificate. The city council hasn't been able
319
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:53.160
to inspect the work. Yeah, good job Barcelona. Maybe we'll
320
00:18:53.160 --> 00:18:55.400
find out before the game where it's going to be played.
321
00:18:55.920 --> 00:18:58.279
That'll do it for this edition of The Morning Espresso
322
00:18:58.319 --> 00:19:01.119
will be back tomorrow to get your for the final
323
00:19:01.240 --> 00:19:04.400
day of the international break with World Cup qualifiers all
324
00:19:04.519 --> 00:19:09.200
over the place, international friendlies and more. That will be tomorrow. Also,
325
00:19:09.279 --> 00:19:13.079
don't forget tomorrow night, we're having an event part of
326
00:19:13.119 --> 00:19:17.359
our Atlanta Soccer City USA series at Emory University. We're
327
00:19:17.359 --> 00:19:19.920
going to talk to Emory men's head coach Corey Griner,
328
00:19:20.200 --> 00:19:24.079
women's head coach Sue Patberg to talk about Emory soccer,
329
00:19:24.240 --> 00:19:27.880
