04:53.593 [SPEAKER_01]: And then what happened after that, I'll start with this, which is, I think for us all a bit sad, which is Noah Allen, who was the all-time 04:59.372 --> 05:03.315 [SPEAKER_01]: traded to Chicago, who we will be playing tonight. 05:04.136 --> 05:15.705 [SPEAKER_01]: But overall, I think to be honest, a surprise to a lot of people, at least to me, a player who has grown immensely over the last few years was there from the beginning. 05:16.585 --> 05:22.890 [SPEAKER_01]: And especially after being under the wing of Jordi Alba has become an excellent defender. 05:23.230 --> 05:27.774 [SPEAKER_01]: And with homegrown, great personality, great team player. 05:29.612 --> 05:56.038 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, so it was a little it was hard to see you know we knew there has to be reshuffling with a team and with the roster based on certain things but I didn't expect no Allen to be the person to leave along with David Ruiz who hadn't been getting you know a lot of playing time but was also a homegrown but yes though you know before we talk about it I think we both feel the same way which is we wish him nothing but the best he was such a great part of the center of my 05:57.550 --> 05:59.652 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, very sad to see him go. 06:01.334 --> 06:02.775 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I was definitely sad to see him go. 06:02.795 --> 06:06.378 [SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was not only sad, but just like, uh, really unexpected. 06:06.398 --> 06:10.963 [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't think I think there are plenty of people that were farther up on the list. 06:11.968 --> 06:16.110 [SPEAKER_00]: that should have left for sporting reasons and for financial reasons. 06:16.850 --> 06:17.891 [SPEAKER_00]: Why shouldn't it have been on the team? 06:17.931 --> 06:22.373 [SPEAKER_00]: He's kind of like the last one that I had on that list and actually he probably wasn't even on that list for me. 06:24.534 --> 06:29.096 [SPEAKER_00]: It's a loan deal to Chicago under the 2026 season. 06:29.637 --> 06:34.739 [SPEAKER_00]: His buy clause, he has a permanent trade option buy clause $3 million and I mean, I had. 06:37.687 --> 06:39.028 [SPEAKER_00]: I really don't know what to say. 06:39.128 --> 06:42.749 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know why he's not an inter Miami player at this point. 06:43.249 --> 06:43.829 [SPEAKER_00]: We talked about it. 06:43.849 --> 06:46.150 [SPEAKER_01]: He's right on in the injuries he's had, you know? 06:46.570 --> 06:48.851 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, I think yeah, you can look at it from two different perspectives. 06:49.031 --> 06:52.032 [SPEAKER_00]: One is from a sporting perspective. 06:52.092 --> 06:54.113 [SPEAKER_00]: The other is also from a fan perspective, right? 06:54.133 --> 06:56.473 [SPEAKER_00]: Like from a sporting perspective, it makes no sense. 06:57.314 --> 07:00.215 [SPEAKER_00]: So he's a guy that is a starter. 07:01.423 --> 07:07.610 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, I think across the league for any MLS team, for Inter Miami, specifically he was a starter. 07:08.110 --> 07:08.951 [SPEAKER_00]: He should have been a starter. 07:08.971 --> 07:10.713 [SPEAKER_00]: He was better than Rayon, in my opinion. 07:10.753 --> 07:12.815 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, he played better than Rayon. 07:13.136 --> 07:19.803 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, I mean, that was his best ability was his ability to actually be on the pitch at all the times, the availability. 07:20.023 --> 07:23.026 [SPEAKER_00]: And he's a guy that really helped 07:23.870 --> 07:38.478 [SPEAKER_00]: And multiple spots right we could play left back perfectly played it very well I think a few games ago he had what two or three assists and we were talking about is this the reincarnation of short of the album that left side I mean the way he played was. 07:38.882 --> 07:39.663 [SPEAKER_00]: wasn't insane. 07:40.764 --> 07:49.172 [SPEAKER_00]: So when you're so thin at a certain position, like left back, it's just, you don't really have any other natural player on the other side. 07:49.192 --> 07:50.674 [SPEAKER_01]: That's such a specialized position, right? 07:50.694 --> 07:56.660 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and when you're in being so fickle and you can really never count on him being on the pitch. 07:56.700 --> 08:00.424 [SPEAKER_00]: And even if he's on the pitch, you can never count on him actually finishing the game out those. 08:00.904 --> 08:01.885 [SPEAKER_00]: quite the strange move. 08:02.266 --> 08:07.393 [SPEAKER_00]: You also talk about him also being able to play at that left center back position very well too. 08:08.294 --> 08:08.875 [SPEAKER_00]: And with such a... 08:11.805 --> 08:26.256 [SPEAKER_00]: a difficult time for Miami's defense season in regards to players coming in and out and being available and not being available and not being, you know, some not playing as good as they were, like, Maxi Falcon, Luhan and Miguel getting hurt. 08:26.316 --> 08:28.558 [SPEAKER_00]: It's just like, it's just very strange, right? 08:28.698 --> 08:34.402 [SPEAKER_00]: And I think we can probably do an entire episode on why no island should be here, but that was quite stranger than from the fan perspective. 08:34.422 --> 08:36.344 [SPEAKER_00]: I think that a lot of times teams do things to 08:40.935 --> 08:46.819 [SPEAKER_00]: was a homegrown, he was part of the 2023 leaks cup winning team, the 2024 supporters shield winning team, the 2025. 08:46.939 --> 08:48.400 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm a less cup winning team. 08:48.800 --> 08:54.783 [SPEAKER_00]: He was actually voted the best 11 from the Champions Cup in 2025. 08:54.884 --> 08:59.746 [SPEAKER_00]: He was the top 11 one of the top players on that best of the 11. 09:01.207 --> 09:02.048 [SPEAKER_00]: And he's a homegrown. 09:02.388 --> 09:03.149 [SPEAKER_00]: You said it many times. 09:03.169 --> 09:05.110 [SPEAKER_00]: He's a homegrown guy, not 09:10.573 --> 09:27.487 [SPEAKER_00]: from South Florida and look, I don't know how many of you agree with me, but I think he's probably the one that embodied this team

more than anybody, even more than Messi himself, who showed the most heart for this team that showed the most love for this team. 09:28.067 --> 09:30.650 [SPEAKER_00]: And even where there were those weird moments where 09:31.330 --> 09:37.133 [SPEAKER_00]: And there were a lot of gripes with the team not coming in and saying, hi, or maybe not a priest showing their appreciation to the fans. 09:37.173 --> 09:38.514 [SPEAKER_00]: However, you feel about that. 09:38.874 --> 09:40.895 [SPEAKER_00]: He was one that winner loose. 09:41.255 --> 09:42.776 [SPEAKER_00]: He was always acknowledging the fans. 09:43.536 --> 09:47.258 [SPEAKER_00]: So it's quite a strange that he's no longer on this team. 09:48.338 --> 09:51.060 [SPEAKER_00]: And that he's on Eastern Conference rival team. 09:52.148 --> 10:08.816 [SPEAKER_00]: And we'll see, look, Messi, if he's the leading player with most games for Inter Miami, 132 games, 3 goals, 7 assists, if Messi sticks around for 2027, that'll, Messi potentially will beat him out for that. 10:09.077 --> 10:12.979 [SPEAKER_00]: Those amount of games, but right now, there's no one coming close to him yet, so. 10:13.699 --> 10:18.061 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, no, and I mean, I guess the best compliment you can have as a player and 10:20.447 --> 10:29.192 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, shocked and upset the fan base was for what, you know, is a player who last year was, you know, not a, not your starting left back. 10:29.272 --> 10:31.774 [SPEAKER_01]: Obviously when you had one of the best of all time in Jordi Abba. 10:32.375 --> 11:00.513 [SPEAKER_01]: but was we had to slot in at center back a lot of times um you know and and also I think and I I see it all the time like in my opinion Messy has such a great relationship with both Noah Allen and Ian Frey which you see a lot in it and it always kind of makes me chuckle because I always wonder like what language they communicated and I think you know I I just they they he's helped them both grow and they both grown so much as teenagers and you know 11:02.394 --> 11:12.199 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, yeah, and so it's, you know, for no island that I did this comment from Ash probably that all front office probably outsmarted itself with roster rules had to sell cheap for good return. 11:12.359 --> 11:12.899 [SPEAKER_01]: That's true. 11:12.919 --> 11:14.520 [SPEAKER_01]: I mean, it's a possibility. 11:14.740 --> 11:16.761 [SPEAKER_01]: I think we don't know for sure what's going to happen. 11:16.841 --> 11:25.845 [SPEAKER_00]: It's just strange because there's other players that they yeah, as I was saying when I, you know, when we first started discussing like there's other players on you think about a player like that. 11:25.865 --> 11:26.685 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, right. 11:26.905 --> 11:28.546 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I mean, a guy that really, 11:29.297 --> 11:31.218 [SPEAKER_00]: with the amount of moonfielders that this team has. 11:31.898 --> 11:33.179 [SPEAKER_00]: But I'm not going to see anybody. 11:33.239 --> 11:35.320 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm not going to see much playing time. 11:36.360 --> 11:38.581 [SPEAKER_00]: And yet he's still here, right? 11:38.621 --> 11:39.902 [SPEAKER_00]: You talk about Luhan. 11:40.002 --> 11:48.906 [SPEAKER_00]: You talk about, I think the one that probably is burning a hole in everybody's head right now is Faku Nomura. 11:49.146 --> 11:56.369 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, I thought about a guy that's, I think he's making over a million, one of the highest paid defenders, and he's still here. 11:57.738 --> 12:02.383 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm going to have a lot of fun all ones that we probably would have expected more. 12:04.426 --> 12:13.416 [SPEAKER_01]: Time will tell, I guess, what that, you know, why and what that looks like, but again, not tonight, but out time tonight, I wish Noah Allen the absolute best. 12:14.116 --> 12:20.938 [SPEAKER_01]: And he always, I mean, you know, again, it's not like he doesn't deserve it on his own merit or his own abilities. 12:21.418 --> 12:25.519 [SPEAKER_01]: I think it's cool to say it's a teenager that you have to play with Messy and do so much link up play. 12:25.559 --> 12:37.282 [SPEAKER_01]: And you got to be a part of a championship team play with Swara, Uzkats, Alba, like those are things most players and most teenagers who are homegrown from South Florida from Pepper Pines don't get to say. 12:37.822 --> 12:39.582 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, so we wish him just the very best. 12:39.842 --> 12:41.283 [SPEAKER_01]: And uh, yeah, we'll see. 12:41.563 --> 12:45.144 [SPEAKER_01]: But when uh, when one door closes, the other opens. 12:45.184 --> 12:52.785 [SPEAKER_01]: And that's for us to talk about the new signings, which is Galarsa and Philippi, uh, how do they, and I apologize. 12:52.805 --> 12:53.585 [SPEAKER_01]: My name is pronounced. 12:53.605 --> 12:54.846 [SPEAKER_01]: I do my best on the show. 12:55.106 --> 12:58.026 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, how do you think, uh, 13:09.340 --> 13:24.202 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, I, I mean, I think that there are opportunities to make this team better and they're in like very obvious holes in this team. 13:25.897 --> 13:32.041 [SPEAKER_00]: And I think we can all kind of pinpoint where those holes are and most of them are all the way in the back in the defense. 13:32.721 --> 13:39.365 [SPEAKER_00]: And they keep making signings that maybe don't make sense and it goes back to literally what we just spoke about. 13:39.385 --> 13:42.487 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like, you need a defender, you need defense. 13:42.727 --> 13:48.331 [SPEAKER_00]: You get rid of one of your best defenders and you bring in two guys and aren't defenders. 13:49.117 --> 13:57.706 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, I mean, not not sequentially obviously, it's not he comes out, but you know, all kind of ruin the same same windows same time frame in and it just doesn't kind of make sense. 13:58.227 --> 14:06.876 [SPEAKER_00]: The Matias Galarsa signing it is alone from revered plate through the rest of

twenty twenty six. 14:07.496 --> 14:07.737 [SPEAKER_00]: Look. 14:09.292 --> 14:29.652 [SPEAKER_00]: So, we'll say he kind of did well in the World Cup for about a while, but at the same time, it's like, it's such a small, like, window of games and for his own team here in MLS, he didn't do that good, and it's like, 14:30.616 --> 14:31.678 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I don't know. 14:31.898 --> 14:32.459 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't see it. 14:32.479 --> 14:40.489 [SPEAKER_00]: I think that we already have a midfield like a midfield that is packed with quality, that you don't need another guy. 14:42.391 --> 14:46.817 [SPEAKER_00]: So like that has I guess Galatas, maybe his his skillset. 14:46.837 --> 14:47.958 [SPEAKER_00]: I just don't think it's needed. 14:50.106 --> 14:52.008 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm just kind of looking through some of his stuff right now. 14:52.108 --> 14:57.254 [SPEAKER_00]: He's got, it looks like on his long with Atlanta, he had one assist in 10 matches. 14:57.494 --> 15:08.527 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you have, you have their ball, who's assisting, you have Yonic Bright in the middle that's playing X and they, you have the last go so go, yeah, that is a step away from playing in Europe. 15:08.891 --> 15:11.852 [SPEAKER_00]: You have Silvetti when as soon as he comes back and is ready to play. 15:12.533 --> 15:15.054 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you have plenty of quality there. 15:15.134 --> 15:16.795 [SPEAKER_00]: I guess that doesn't make sense to me. 15:17.015 --> 15:21.537 [SPEAKER_00]: Davida Yala, unfortunately, doesn't get playing time, but to bring in my aunt, my aunt, my aunt, my aunt, my aunt, I don't know. 15:21.857 --> 15:24.138 [SPEAKER_00]: Also, you look at the games that I find out why I played. 15:24.558 --> 15:29.780 [SPEAKER_00]: And Gala, to me is a guy that's going to be a possibly a liability, if he gets playing time. 15:29.820 --> 15:34.302 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he's like, if you look at some of his files that he had, it was this plays that he made. 15:34.403 --> 15:34.943 [SPEAKER_00]: I grew up. 15:35.603 --> 15:39.765 [SPEAKER_00]: You're very aggressive, it's very aggressive player and I don't think that you really need that player profile. 15:39.785 --> 15:44.626 [SPEAKER_00]: You've already, you know, got guys that are aggressive and I think it's kind of responsible. 15:44.646 --> 15:48.828 [SPEAKER_00]: You have Casa Miro that has that aggression, you have the ball, obviously that has that aggression. 15:48.848 --> 15:50.048 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's funny. 15:50.068 --> 15:53.849 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm saying this and I'm like, I'm thinking about all the players are from they're all aggressive. 15:53.869 --> 15:57.611 [SPEAKER_00]: They're all, you know, but I think that they have a little bit more of a restraints. 15:57.711 --> 16:00.952 [SPEAKER_00]: And I, I feel that Matthew has got lots of release in that player. 16:00.972 --> 16:03.173 [SPEAKER_00]: He's a type of guy that you, you know, 16:04.008 --> 16:12.873 [SPEAKER_00]: Remember when we used to have to worry about what's his face and defense this center back? 16:13.574 --> 16:15.235 [SPEAKER_00]: He's always getting yellows and reds. 16:15.495 --> 16:20.958 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh, it would, uh, the, oh my gosh, from the first season, right? 16:21.278 --> 16:21.959 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh my god. 16:22.239 --> 16:26.021 [SPEAKER_00]: From first season for like we just, uh, we just traded him. 16:27.822 --> 16:29.684 [SPEAKER_00]: Skinny guy, tall Argentinian. 16:30.984 --> 16:31.204 [SPEAKER_01]: Oh. 16:32.995 --> 16:35.237 [SPEAKER_01]: Go Masavila. 16:35.357 --> 16:36.898 [SPEAKER_00]: I had a brain fart and you almost had one. 16:37.038 --> 16:39.760 [SPEAKER_01]: It's getting hard just seeing it. 16:39.780 --> 16:43.282 [SPEAKER_01]: Remember the first season, the two defenders we had who would always get. 16:43.302 --> 16:45.243 [SPEAKER_01]: I couldn't for the life. 16:45.263 --> 16:47.085 [SPEAKER_01]: Remember who they were right now their names. 16:49.614 --> 16:59.799 [SPEAKER_00]: Anyway, sorry keep going, but yeah, so so it reminds me of him like that's the type of player I feel you get with my dear Alas, I hope I'm wrong and I hope I hope if he does a playing time get playing time They'll do well. 16:59.819 --> 17:08.663 [SPEAKER_00]: I just I just didn't see the need honestly for for that For that signing now the get me Philippi Brazilian winner 19 years old 17:09.699 --> 17:11.660 [SPEAKER_00]: from by made us on a U22 slot. 17:11.960 --> 17:21.005 [SPEAKER_00]: Now I can understand a bit more because one of the things that I always thought from the very beginning of this season is that if we were gonna invest in players, I thought that they should invest in a winger. 17:21.325 --> 17:22.685 [SPEAKER_00]: And I thought that was really important. 17:23.126 --> 17:25.167 [SPEAKER_00]: And more than ever now, if you have 17:25.847 --> 17:42.083 [SPEAKER_00]: Mateo Silvetti, hurt, you don't really have a backup for him that has that type of skills that can play out wide and then take on a player and open up space for himself and has the ability to do step-overs and be able to create his own opportunities. 17:42.783 --> 17:49.170 [SPEAKER_00]: And then, especially at the end on the other side, now you have a guy that can do that type of stuff and I think that that's really 17:50.148 --> 17:51.069 [SPEAKER_00]: I think that that's really important. 17:51.089 --> 17:53.271 [SPEAKER_00]: So that's a player that I think will probably have more of an impact. 17:53.311 --> 17:53.711 [SPEAKER_00]: He's young. 17:53.971 --> 18:08.184 [SPEAKER_00]: Again, 19 year old, we'll see how much our new coach, Gileo Gonzalez, how much he'll how much responsibility and availability he'll give to get me Philippe. 18:08.204 --> 18:13.448 [SPEAKER_00]: But I think I like that more than the, so when I think that he'll be, you'll have a bigger impact on 18:14.602 --> 18:15.323 [SPEAKER_00]: on Inter Miami. 18:15.703 -->

18:22.910 [SPEAKER_00]: And look, that's a couple of young guys that we've gone over the last few months talking about Frixio Gaisel, 18 years old, Philippe, 19 years old. 18:22.950 --> 18:25.733 [SPEAKER_01]: It's been excellent, by the way, when being put into games, I think. 18:26.950 --> 18:29.993 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, well, I mean, I'm glad you do because he's a codorian. 18:30.053 --> 18:30.914 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm glad you think that. 18:30.934 --> 18:31.434 [SPEAKER_00]: Okay, excellent. 18:31.454 --> 18:33.336 [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't want to put for a teenager. 18:33.516 --> 18:34.818 [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's played good. 18:35.118 --> 18:35.638 [SPEAKER_01]: I'll take that back. 18:35.678 --> 18:41.404 [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's played good for, you know, not amazing, but I liked, in his first game played, I thought really good. 18:41.424 --> 18:43.606 [SPEAKER_01]: This, the last one, obviously, a little bit different. 18:43.626 --> 18:45.368 [SPEAKER_00]: I think he's, I think he's struggled a bit. 18:46.469 --> 18:48.551 [SPEAKER_00]: And I see the potential in him. 18:49.051 --> 18:50.793 [SPEAKER_00]: I think it'll take a few more games to him. 18:50.953 --> 18:51.354 [SPEAKER_00]: Hopefully. 18:52.054 --> 18:57.857 [SPEAKER_00]: Sooner rather than later, but look, the reason he's playing is because everybody else has played really bad. 18:58.317 --> 19:00.738 [SPEAKER_00]: That's why I think it's gone on the play in time. 19:00.758 --> 19:09.742 [SPEAKER_00]: I think if Lu Khan or Maxi Falcon were playing a lot better, I see a 12 fast center back who's available, and I'm like great. 19:10.582 --> 19:10.983 [SPEAKER_01]: Put him in. 19:11.023 --> 19:11.803 [SPEAKER_01]: He's amazing. 19:11.843 --> 19:17.626 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean he's 6, 6, 4, he's an African huge, so And he's one of the things that we've done. 19:18.966 --> 19:19.326 [SPEAKER_00]: 18. 19:19.366 --> 19:20.807 [SPEAKER_00]: He's 18 years old, six years old. 19:21.067 --> 19:24.649 [SPEAKER_00]: And one of the things that we've struggled with in the past are set pieces. 19:24.669 --> 19:32.453 [SPEAKER_00]: So the fact that we can have him next to our, you know, four foot two, maxi falcon and no longer force you know, Alan, I'm joking. 19:32.473 --> 19:35.054 [SPEAKER_00]: They're not that short, but um, it's definitely good to have. 19:35.095 --> 19:36.875 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's what maxi falcon for sure. 19:36.955 --> 19:37.896 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly. 19:37.976 --> 19:47.581 [SPEAKER_00]: So, um, yeah, those, I think those, hopefully, I say, though, or continue to improve, um, we definitely need him, especially with the injuries that we had in the and consistency we've had in the back one. 19:48.543 --> 19:52.484 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I mean, I think you said it all and you said it really well. 19:52.624 --> 19:54.784 [SPEAKER_01]: Galarsa, I don't really understand. 19:54.904 --> 20:12.148 [SPEAKER_01]: Maybe time will tell, maybe it's that the intermium in the coaching and they don't trust Ayala until what they needed to figure out a different solution, maybe they wanted to like, you know, be able to keep like, you know, that maybe they wanted to keep 20:13.836 --> 20:17.719 [SPEAKER_01]: pushing forward and so they wanted to be able to have the Paul push forward, maybe more. 20:17.779 --> 20:20.001 [SPEAKER_01]: So I don't know what we'll have to wait and see. 20:20.542 --> 20:21.763 [SPEAKER_01]: I've for regal me though. 20:22.083 --> 20:28.749 [SPEAKER_01]: For me, that checks a lot of boxes like young, winger, Brazilian, exciting, name is regal me. 20:28.869 --> 20:29.629 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm like perfect. 20:29.690 --> 20:30.210 [SPEAKER_01]: Let's see it. 20:30.350 --> 20:33.773 [SPEAKER_01]: I want to, I don't know what's going to happen, but I like the sound of it. 20:33.853 --> 20:40.639 [SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see in, and you know, with the injuries that we've seen, obviously, to Mateo so that the end that I went in there. 20:41.039 --> 20:51.126 [SPEAKER_01]: and availability and just, you know, how there has been some struggles with the overall I'd say wing play of inner Miami, um, it'll be interesting to see. 20:51.666 --> 21:02.854 [SPEAKER_01]: So, you know, we'll, we'll, we'll just wait and see how and if they have an impact or if it's made me, you know, building for the future, I think there's just a lot of question marks and so we'll have to wait and see. 21:03.635 --> 21:06.677 [SPEAKER_01]: Um, I say, though, also, you know what, it was the eye test. 21:06.857 --> 21:09.419 [SPEAKER_01]: I saw him and I, I like, I watched him and 21:11.318 --> 21:11.938 [SPEAKER_01]: I think he's good. 21:12.138 --> 21:17.399 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, it just passed the eye test where I was like showing good, fundamental. 21:17.419 --> 21:19.460 [SPEAKER_00]: Well, maybe you know, you, those are your, your scout eyes. 21:19.500 --> 21:22.721 [SPEAKER_00]: Like, if you were scouting to you, you're like, you know, I see something in that guy. 21:22.801 --> 21:28.662 [SPEAKER_00]: And I, I, I hope he does good for the sake of him to Miami and also as an Ecuadorian, I hope he does, I don't hope he does good. 21:28.682 --> 21:38.165 [SPEAKER_00]: I just think he's still very raw, very raw, and he's gonna take some time to really be what hopefully a lot of us think he can be for this team. 21:38.185 --> 21:39.945 [SPEAKER_01]: Look, I mean, have I ever been wrong before? 21:41.158 --> 22:01.459 [SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see, but yeah, so that's the end now of players, so now what's kind of transitioned to the team overall and you know what was outside of these these moves for the players what I think added to the unrest of fans and of the team was over the weekend. 22:02.848 --> 22:06.610 [SPEAKER_01]: the draw versus Atlanta, where it was a rain delay. 22:06.730 --> 22:16.255 [SPEAKER_01]: But then late Saturday night, inner Miami had two leads scored twice, but Atlanta was able to get the points

back. 22:16.315 --> 22:20.197 [SPEAKER_01]: It was a gnarly match, I think, and honestly, 22:21.492 --> 22:30.455 [SPEAKER_01]: it's never really a big point because there's so many factors that happen in a game so many moments and and and I don't think it it defines it. 22:30.916 --> 22:33.056 [SPEAKER_01]: I thought the refereeing was really not good. 22:33.276 --> 22:36.118 [SPEAKER_01]: I thought it was compared to a lot of like most matches. 22:36.478 --> 22:43.660 [SPEAKER_01]: It was something I noticed and I was like this is really blow a par and you know it seemed like Inter Miami where we're really not getting any calls. 22:44.281 --> 22:45.221 [SPEAKER_01]: They're two penalties. 22:45.241 --> 22:47.142 [SPEAKER_01]: It was crazy in my opinion. 22:48.971 --> 23:06.660 [SPEAKER_01]: But like I said, there's so many moments in a match where like I don't think that defines it overall it just ended up being a frustrating night almost had a last second goal that mess you almost had this amazing goal with the last second that you know, that would have turned into a three to win and it would have been a great rallying moment. 23:07.084 --> 23:20.308 [SPEAKER_01]: instead it turns into a two to draw or you see messy at the end of the game, you know, when you know, he's frustrated and upset, uh, jarring with players, jarring with the raff and and, you know, doesn't happen very often. 23:20.368 --> 23:23.549 [SPEAKER_01]: So when it doesn't, you know, it's not never a good sign. 23:23.909 --> 23:27.010 [SPEAKER_01]: And it was against our former coach, Tata Martino, who, uh, 23:28.270 --> 23:47.702 [SPEAKER_01]: got the better of Aoyos and of of the squad and it felt like not a step back necessarily, but as the season winds down and you know, forget a supporter shield feels like it's getting a bit out of reach, but I'd still back and remind me to win playoffs and to win the cup. 23:48.083 --> 23:53.166 [SPEAKER_01]: But games like this in moments like this, I think it it brings worry and unrest. 23:55.367 --> 23:56.508 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, look, I um, 23:58.145 --> 24:04.128 [SPEAKER_00]: I didn't get to watch the match in the moment because I was out. 24:04.669 --> 24:05.589 [SPEAKER_01]: We had a life, yeah. 24:05.909 --> 24:06.430 [SPEAKER_00]: I have a life. 24:06.450 --> 24:10.672 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, you lose it and I lose it, right there. 24:11.613 --> 24:13.554 [SPEAKER_00]: But I was, let's just stay. 24:13.594 --> 24:14.854 [SPEAKER_00]: I was in and around the stadium. 24:14.874 --> 24:17.076 [SPEAKER_01]: Someone asked you the live tweeting, God. 24:19.657 --> 24:22.799 [SPEAKER_00]: So, but I was around, I was actually, 24:24.452 --> 24:36.858 [SPEAKER_00]: In the grove and coconut grove, you guys are aware with or you guys know my friends that the grove and look I was like I kept adding these alerts about the the rain delay and I'm like. 24:37.598 --> 24:39.379 [SPEAKER_00]: not or the lightning delay would are. 24:39.759 --> 24:52.644 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I don't know if these guys are gonna play today because I'm looking at the, I know, I think it's like you can't have lightning for at least 30 minutes or something with the certain perimeter around the stadium and I'm just looking, there's lightning everywhere. 24:52.664 --> 24:54.465 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like, I really do not. 24:54.565 --> 25:05.970 [SPEAKER_00]: So the fact that they were able to actually get the game off was quite surprising to me because I really was like wanting to say it was gonna happen but look, usually, 25:07.558 --> 25:21.243 [SPEAKER_00]: a team's home is like their fortress and that's like where they win the games and into Miami, it's quite the opposite, into Miami is in a way team and they can't seem to kind of like cement themselves at new stadium. 25:21.283 --> 25:22.683 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's not their fortress. 25:22.743 --> 25:23.644 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not like you. 25:23.704 --> 25:25.964 [SPEAKER_01]: That's really not the Montreal game was going to do, but. 25:26.144 --> 25:27.505 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly. 25:27.565 --> 25:30.186 [SPEAKER_00]: And it's you know, I wonder when that's going to happen. 25:30.526 --> 25:32.847 [SPEAKER_00]: We'll see maybe it's next season or hopefully it 25:36.847 --> 25:39.048 [SPEAKER_00]: the drop points to to at home. 25:39.708 --> 25:44.211 [SPEAKER_00]: Gasimito in SWAT is scoring, which for me, it's interesting. 25:44.231 --> 25:46.712 [SPEAKER_00]: I think Gasimito is his second game in a row that he scores. 25:46.732 --> 25:48.733 [SPEAKER_01]: He's an off of that pointer header. 25:48.773 --> 25:49.593 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, exactly. 25:50.074 --> 25:52.014 [SPEAKER_00]: A set piece king is what he is. 25:52.034 --> 25:54.596 [SPEAKER_00]: His connection with Messi on those set pieces is quite. 25:55.356 --> 26:00.040 [SPEAKER_00]: uh, quite the thing and I think it's something that you should bring right after all the years of route. 26:00.180 --> 26:00.640 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 26:00.700 --> 26:00.860 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 26:00.880 --> 26:02.401 [SPEAKER_00]: They have that connection there. 26:02.422 --> 26:02.662 [SPEAKER_00]: I guess. 26:02.822 --> 26:09.847 [SPEAKER_00]: And, you know, it's, it was, I think we only had basically Ian free scoring on set pieces and now we've got, uh, gas emitted to add to that list. 26:09.867 --> 26:12.609 [SPEAKER_00]: So I think that's a good thing to look at if you want to look at positives, right? 26:13.029 --> 26:15.872 [SPEAKER_00]: On another positive could be that's why it is, uh, although, 26:17.433 --> 26:23.177 [SPEAKER_00]: All in and brittle continues to, you know, cement his, it was a sick move, too. 26:23.257 --> 26:24.298 [SPEAKER_01]: It's a sick move. 26:24.338 --> 26:24.579 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 26:24.759 --> 26:29.302 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he scored that, I think that makes back to back goals, back to back games. 26:29.663 --> 26:29.883 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 26:30.063 --> 26:39.571

[SPEAKER_00]: And if I look right now, his MLS log here, he's got 12 goals and either sits on the season, which is better than he did in 2025, he had 10 and 10 and 20, 25. 26:41.072 --> 26:45.574 [SPEAKER_00]: And he's a one that says the way from matching his nine in 2024. 26:45.634 --> 26:47.775 [SPEAKER_00]: So, um, he's 20. 26:47.815 --> 26:52.337 [SPEAKER_01]: Those politicians for a player at his age and who wasn't the starter, it's pretty impressive. 26:52.397 --> 26:52.797 [SPEAKER_01]: No doubt. 26:53.458 --> 26:58.180 [SPEAKER_00]: Look, he's doing better than most DPs in an other across, I'm a lot. 26:58.220 --> 27:02.262 [SPEAKER_00]: So, I think that that's, again, he's, he's starting. 27:03.426 --> 27:05.387 [SPEAKER_00]: But I think he's starting more out of necessity. 27:06.147 --> 27:21.834 [SPEAKER_00]: And maybe if you had a healthier team, he'd probably be on the bench, but the fact that the guy that probably wasn't the plan to have start this season is coming off of the bench or getting this time and producing this much, I think is a good thing to take out as well. 27:22.114 --> 27:30.758 [SPEAKER_00]: And look, when this team is fully expecting to be on the bench, but to know that you have that guy coming off the bench for special moments later on probably in the playoffs. 27:32.101 --> 27:34.931 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, maybe you need a goal right and I think that's a good thing to have. 27:35.792 --> 27:49.962 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, I don't know if it burnt around me though doesn't get get back into the goal scoring form and they have to make a choice I don't know they may be choosing swars over berth and I'm a certain situations Oh, how do you how do you sit your how do you sit your D.P. 27:50.062 --> 28:03.772 [SPEAKER_00]: like it that guy the amount of money that you're paying that guy the amount that you paid for that guy Yeah, it being incredibly insane to have to sit him and knowing that he it took him some time But he started playing very well, and then he got injured and it's 28:03.992 --> 28:06.413 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, and I think it's what maybe it's only been a few games. 28:06.434 --> 28:17.260 [SPEAKER_00]: We're not talking about, you know, five Sure, what's it maybe been maybe two or three games since he since he came back and Do this can cost it do this, you know, no, no, for sure. 28:17.360 --> 28:18.160 [SPEAKER_00]: He needs some time. 28:18.200 --> 28:21.642 [SPEAKER_00]: So But yeah, I look into Miami. 28:21.702 --> 28:23.543 [SPEAKER_00]: It's I think it's a story of Inter Miami. 28:23.563 --> 28:29.927 [SPEAKER_00]: It's it's an Inter Miami team that you never know what you're going to get They go and be the team seven one and then they come back against a 28:31.628 --> 28:39.416 [SPEAKER_00]: a 14th place team in the east and then they get the tie at home like that's the intramyammy story. 28:39.796 --> 28:50.846 [SPEAKER_00]: The other part of the intramyammy story is they take a lead into the second half to one and then nothing happens for 35 minutes and you can kind of 28:51.696 --> 28:55.278 [SPEAKER_00]: feel it right like if they don't they need to they need to get that one goal. 28:55.519 --> 28:58.321 [SPEAKER_00]: I've I feel like I've relived the same movie over and over again. 28:58.601 --> 29:11.550 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm like okay they're leading the leading one goal and that puts the game away just one ball and it puts the game away and you keep the other team alive you give them you know that that hope and if you do that 29:12.330 --> 29:18.560 [SPEAKER_00]: And you don't capitalize on your chances, things like this happen where, you know, the tie-in, what was it? 29:18.600 --> 29:21.945 [SPEAKER_00]: Minutes 87, and we're soft up penalty. 29:21.985 --> 29:24.549 [SPEAKER_00]: Now, how you feel about the penalty, I don't know. 29:24.569 --> 29:27.313 [SPEAKER_00]: I saw a fixing, I said, we're getting pissed in the... 29:28.434 --> 29:28.915 [SPEAKER_00]: Post games. 29:28.935 --> 29:34.958 [SPEAKER_00]: I thought the second one was crazy, but at the end they shouldn't be in that position Yeah, we have the most goals. 29:35.378 --> 29:37.400 [SPEAKER_00]: I think they have 58 goals if I'm not mistaken. 29:37.420 --> 29:42.002 [SPEAKER_00]: They have the most goals like how how do you how are you putting yourself in the position? 29:42.523 --> 29:55.431 [SPEAKER_00]: To lose I would rather get to to tie in minute 87 like they should have put those opportunity as a way And they got they got to fix that before playoffs come around before the postseason comes around. 29:55.451 --> 29:55.891 [SPEAKER_00]: It's really important 29:56.567 --> 30:02.695 [SPEAKER_01]: And that's a perfect transition because, you know, we got to talk about the pressure of this team and of what's happening, right? 30:02.715 --> 30:13.628 [SPEAKER_01]: Like now we, you know, in within a season, this is now three coaches were still waiting obviously for for our new coach to arrive loyal to still there. 30:14.340 --> 30:20.704 [SPEAKER_01]: But we know the decision has been made to trophies out of contention most likely support or shield, too. 30:22.405 --> 30:29.089 [SPEAKER_01]: The weight of defending a championship in Miami, you put it perfectly like the pressure has been and is mounting. 30:29.189 --> 30:35.072 [SPEAKER_01]: And you know, there's a lot of things that could happen in a good or bad way. 30:35.112 --> 30:39.475 [SPEAKER_01]: That's going to dictate the future of this team and the, you know, 30:39.865 --> 31:02.935 [SPEAKER_01]: the crown is heavy as they say and it's important with the addition to you've made like there should be no world where a team that you have messy swars, gossipy at all that Paul playing, you know, that you shouldn't it shouldn't be a shoe in right and obvious at least making it as far as you can, but it feels that 31:03.835 --> 31:10.917 [SPEAKER_01]: So far, the season has not lived up to what we expected with this new

stadium with all the drama, with everything. 31:11.037 --> 31:11.617 [SPEAKER_01]: I don't know. 31:11.737 --> 31:12.757 [SPEAKER_01]: It's been up and down. 31:12.777 --> 31:21.500 [SPEAKER_01]: And as we get to the business end of it, you know, it's, I think, important more now than ever that we start to see confidence and consistency. 31:24.100 --> 31:26.861 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, this, this team. 31:26.881 --> 31:27.281 [SPEAKER_00]: It's true. 31:27.321 --> 31:28.221 [SPEAKER_01]: It's not helping. 31:28.281 --> 31:29.142 [SPEAKER_01]: It's been an injury. 31:29.162 --> 31:30.442 [SPEAKER_01]: It's been an injury season. 31:31.370 --> 31:55.550 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think I don't know if it was last episode of that episode before we talked about that I think that's something that's important to note like it's not just that Guillermooyos came in and it was a crapshire it wasn't like we have to I think we have to give him his flowers tuned understand like there were circumstances that were beyond his power and that I think any coach probably would have struggled with. 31:56.353 --> 32:17.169 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, he came in here and this team was, I think doing really well, he, he, he, if we remember the young ones came in after Machinano, and he had this team at six one and one, and that's a, that's really good for just stepping and he's like 19 of 24 points when he first came in and he had 26 goals in eight matches. 32:17.209 --> 32:18.189 [SPEAKER_00]: I mean, this team was flying. 32:18.530 --> 32:20.091 [SPEAKER_00]: We talked about it in various episodes. 32:20.111 --> 32:24.234 [SPEAKER_00]: How great this team, how how it went from boring under Machinano to 32:26.322 --> 32:26.702 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 32:26.923 --> 32:30.466 [SPEAKER_00]: And then you have multiple, multiple injuries. 32:31.106 --> 32:31.847 [SPEAKER_00]: Me, guys. 32:32.307 --> 32:43.677 [SPEAKER_00]: And yeah, and I think the criticism and it's not even, you're not talking about like, um, interesting to, to guys that were maybe not on the top of the, you start my like, you're, some of your top players. 32:43.717 --> 32:44.298 [SPEAKER_01]: So that's it. 32:44.418 --> 32:44.618 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 32:45.339 --> 32:48.782 [SPEAKER_00]: And I think if there's any criticism of oils, it would be, 32:50.112 --> 33:05.976 [SPEAKER_00]: probably maybe the criticism that he couldn't adapt to the difficulties that he was facing right and maybe being able to find the way to make this team play without some of these players. 33:06.316 --> 33:08.157 [SPEAKER_00]: Again, difficult, a difficult task. 33:09.988 --> 33:13.892 [SPEAKER_00]: but I still think that some of these games where they were struggling, they were still the better team. 33:14.493 --> 33:17.997 [SPEAKER_01]: And even when you're trying to get on the message, it was father just died, too. 33:18.017 --> 33:20.800 [SPEAKER_01]: Like it's all these things, so many things, yeah. 33:21.040 --> 33:22.602 [SPEAKER_00]: All those

things were huge. 33:22.642 --> 33:29.890 [SPEAKER_00]: But anyways, this team was built to win championships, to win silverware. 33:31.290 --> 33:35.431 [SPEAKER_00]: and they built investments into a new stadium. 33:36.251 --> 33:38.652 [SPEAKER_00]: And they get to lift anything in that stadium. 33:39.052 --> 33:49.915 [SPEAKER_00]: They already missed out on championship Cup, which for them was one of their, if not probably their biggest priority was championship Cup, they missed out on league Cup, league Cup, you know. 33:50.395 --> 33:55.457 [SPEAKER_00]: when and and past and and they looked at nothing like the team that they should have looked like in that. 33:55.877 --> 34:00.498 [SPEAKER_00]: And now what they have is they have supportive shield left, which is looking more and more out of reach. 34:00.518 --> 34:08.141 [SPEAKER_00]: They had an opportunity against that Lancet to to cut the league out from Nashville had a tie to believe, so they could have you know 34:08.871 --> 34:15.516 [SPEAKER_00]: I close the lead a bit there and looks the more and more out of grass, naturalist paint and credible right now. 34:15.817 --> 34:20.420 [SPEAKER_00]: They might break the MLS regular season record with how they're going and playing really well. 34:21.261 --> 34:30.569 [SPEAKER_00]: So now I think all focus needs to be on the MLS cup and and look what I'll say about that is to me when I judge a season it's not just. 34:31.595 --> 34:36.259 [SPEAKER_00]: The season was a failure or the season was a success for me when I look at a season. 34:36.279 --> 34:40.703 [SPEAKER_00]: I think a season is made up of both the season is made up of successes and failures, right? 34:41.083 --> 34:49.471 [SPEAKER_00]: And I think you can have successes and failures along the way and still, at the end, look at these successes you've had and say, you know what, overall this is, it's been a successful season. 34:49.491 --> 34:57.478 [SPEAKER_00]: And for me, when I look at 2026, if even though we didn't win a championship, if we can win an MLS Cup, 34:58.342 --> 34:59.403 [SPEAKER_00]: and go back to back. 34:59.984 --> 35:02.106 [SPEAKER_00]: I think for me, that's a successful season. 35:02.146 --> 35:04.769 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, not at the start, how you finish up times, right? 35:05.149 --> 35:09.053 [SPEAKER_00]: We failed at the championship, we failed at the league's cup and supporters' seal. 35:09.634 --> 35:16.501 [SPEAKER_00]: But if you're gonna go back to back and win the league title, I think that's a success and any team would. 35:17.422 --> 35:20.426 [SPEAKER_00]: I can't think of any team that wins a season. 35:21.086 --> 35:25.048 [SPEAKER_00]: and Winston title and says it was a failure of a season that's impossible. 35:25.068 --> 35:26.949 [SPEAKER_00]: So this season is still salvageable. 35:26.969 --> 35:34.413 [SPEAKER_00]: And then what's most important is not only winning the, the, the, the, I'm a less cup, but then getting that birth into champions cup in a season. 35:34.433 --> 35:36.174 [SPEAKER_00]: So this season is far from over. 35:37.315 --> 35:38.855 [SPEAKER_00]: It can still be a successful season. 35:38.915 --> 35:41.077 [SPEAKER_00]: This team has more than enough to get it done. 35:41.977 --> 35:56.699 [SPEAKER_00]: What's tough is the fact that they're going to bring in a new coach right before the MLS playoffs and I mean I don't think I don't know if I've I've seen that often anywhere in the world where you bring in a new coach right before the 35:58.461 --> 36:14.123 [SPEAKER_00]: I think all you said to stuck around, that's the, you cannot debate that, just because of how far they are into the season right, but we'll see, I really, I really have my hopes up for this coach and obviously going to back him, but we can still win. 36:14.143 --> 36:15.285 [SPEAKER_00]: I really do think so. 36:15.886 --> 36:16.566 [SPEAKER_01]: I think so too. 36:16.726 --> 36:17.487 [SPEAKER_01]: I think so too. 36:17.627 --> 36:29.332 [SPEAKER_01]: And, you know, it starts with as as we get closer, like starting to win these games, re establish your identity and feel confident, right? 36:29.352 --> 36:31.393 [SPEAKER_01]: Like, and we do that is by winning. 36:31.433 --> 36:36.015 [SPEAKER_01]: And so perfect transition to tonight, which is, uh, 36:37.803 --> 36:48.273 [SPEAKER_01]: two big things, one messy playing at soldier field, which is awesome, two, and playing against Levantowski, which is also going to be, I think. 36:49.447 --> 37:17.672 [SPEAKER_01]: You know, a battle in itself and so it's going to be a difficult game and also know how and I'm I'm I'm curious they're going to start know how and I'm not but overall it's it's in a game where like I think it's really important for Inter Miami to get a result and you know get their confidence back play strongly and you know figure things out because what people care about the most is results right and messaging normally 37:18.371 --> 37:19.892 [SPEAKER_01]: performance well on big stages. 37:19.992 --> 37:23.536 [SPEAKER_01]: There's no denying that soldier field is for sure a big stage. 37:25.297 --> 37:25.878 [SPEAKER_01]: It'll be fun. 37:26.418 --> 37:37.388 [SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I'm just hoping more than anything for a win and for the team to get just get back the confidence in the cohesion. 37:37.408 --> 37:40.371 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I think it's an important game. 37:41.411 --> 37:42.893 [SPEAKER_01]: Campione sculpture, that's true. 37:42.913 --> 37:43.874 [SPEAKER_01]: There's two trophies left. 37:44.975 --> 37:45.215 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah. 37:46.440 --> 37:59.091 [SPEAKER_00]: I think it's an important game more from a moral standpoint from morale rather than because they need consistency is what they need. 37:59.111 --> 38:05.356 [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't mean anything winning 7-1 and then at home 2-2, right? 38:06.136 --> 38:09.179 [SPEAKER_00]: You need this team to look good night in and night out. 38:09.259

--> 38:10.580 [SPEAKER_00]: And that's something that they haven't done. 38:10.960 --> 38:12.602 [SPEAKER_00]: You never know what instrument any team. 38:13.538 --> 38:14.038 [SPEAKER_00]: you're going to get. 38:14.539 --> 38:21.623 [SPEAKER_00]: And I think when you look at the playoffs just around the corner, you're going to want to get a string of games where you go back to back to back winning, right? 38:22.103 --> 38:28.687 [SPEAKER_00]: And they're facing a Chicago team that is literally right behind them, third place in the east, Miami, second place in the eastern, five points behind. 38:29.607 --> 38:48.195 [SPEAKER_00]: Um, so they could close the gap with our second place in the east, and I think that that's going to be important for them to, to make sure that they, they keep that gap between themselves, looking at Chicago, and their recent form, their winlists, uh, in their last four matches. 38:49.036 --> 38:50.576 [SPEAKER_00]: So they haven't been doing too good. 38:50.596 --> 38:54.018 [SPEAKER_00]: They have, uh, what, three draws in a loss in the last four 38:59.543 --> 39:13.572 [SPEAKER_00]: Right, so they haven't lost, they haven't lost imagine in the last time, so I don't I think there'll be a forum for me to bowl opponent, especially when León doski León doski is one of those players and it's just like sweaters that he can make something out of nothing and all he needs is one opportunity. 39:13.752 --> 39:20.756 [SPEAKER_00]: So I think Inter Miami's defense is going to have to be on the tip top shape because that's the type of guy that you don't want to give him an opportunity. 39:20.776 --> 39:22.417 [SPEAKER_00]: It's not even about, you know, 39:23.959 --> 39:28.523 [SPEAKER_00]: It's it's it's not even about like keeping the ball away from him as much as possible. 39:28.543 --> 39:36.531 [SPEAKER_00]: It's like literally try your best for him not to get one opportunity because he's one of those guys that doesn't waste them just like sweaters and 39:37.785 --> 39:39.246 [SPEAKER_01]: Monday of Harry Kane, too, like. 39:39.426 --> 39:40.267 [SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, exactly. 39:40.827 --> 39:42.549 [SPEAKER_01]: Just a sniff of a score. 39:42.709 --> 39:44.590 [SPEAKER_00]: He's a focal point of that offense. 39:44.610 --> 39:50.195 [SPEAKER_00]: Like all the centers, all the aerial balls are going to be in his direction. 39:50.335 --> 39:51.496 [SPEAKER_00]: They're going to be looking for him. 39:51.536 --> 39:56.639 [SPEAKER_00]: He's quite good at his aerial game, heading the ball and scoring. 39:56.659 --> 40:01.443 [SPEAKER_00]: So it'll be also important for Inter Miami to focus on him during set pieces, as well. 40:01.903 --> 40:03.885 [SPEAKER_00]: It'll be interesting to see if Noah Allen plays. 40:04.666 --> 40:05.586 [SPEAKER_00]: I think Noah Allen. 40:06.667 --> 40:09.209 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, he loves Miami. 40:09.269 --> 40:13.512 [SPEAKER_00]: I think you can you can tell also by the the goodbye. 40:13.532

--> 40:18.816 [SPEAKER_00]: It doesn't give any of the strategy to them, but oh, you bet 100% he will. 40:18.876 --> 40:19.597 [SPEAKER_00]: 100% he will. 40:19.937 --> 40:28.563 [SPEAKER_00]: He'll give the strategy, but look, there's always that that little chip on your shoulder when you're playing against your former team, especially because he wanted to stay and he 40:29.824 --> 40:32.492 [SPEAKER_00]: You know, the truth is he got kicked out of the team. 40:32.512 --> 40:34.197 [SPEAKER_00]: So I'm sure that he has that chip on his shoulder. 40:34.237 --> 40:35.902 [SPEAKER_00]: He wants it to beat us. 40:37.921 --> 40:43.787 [SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I think it'll be, I think it'll be a really even in a tough game. 40:44.487 --> 40:51.094 [SPEAKER_00]: But I do think, in chamami, need to start finding some consistency if they want to do well in the playoffs. 40:51.254 --> 40:55.198 [SPEAKER_00]: And we'll have to see what they think of it, who this defense always looks different. 40:55.338 --> 40:56.679 [SPEAKER_00]: Every freaking game, it looks different. 40:56.979 --> 41:00.703 [SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I did want to address something, actually, the defense. 41:01.759 --> 41:16.645 [SPEAKER_00]: Gassimito as a center back and then it will probably see him again as a center back today and I think that's important to know because look One of the things I thought when we were first going to sign Gassimito, I promised you I thought that he was going to play a center back I really did. 41:17.025 --> 41:25.448 [SPEAKER_00]: I was surprised when they put him in the midfield because to me I didn't see I Number one, I don't think yonic bright 41:26.268 --> 41:29.733 [SPEAKER_00]: the Bowling Gassimito words work well in a midfield. 41:30.254 --> 41:31.616 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't think that's the case. 41:32.818 --> 41:38.726 [SPEAKER_00]: And I also don't think you can sacrifice one to make another, that you can't sacrifice yawning bright to have a cassimito in the bull. 41:38.987 --> 41:42.212 [SPEAKER_00]: You can't sacrifice Gassimito to have yawning bright or... 41:42.632 --> 41:45.094 [SPEAKER_00]: You can't sacrifice a bright task. 41:45.495 --> 41:46.876 [SPEAKER_00]: I don't know. 41:47.036 --> 41:50.840 [SPEAKER_00]: I forgot who I mentioned already, but you can't sacrifice one of them to have the other two plates. 41:50.860 --> 41:58.527 [SPEAKER_00]: The other weight, the only way for that to work is to have Casimiro in the defense at the center back, which he has plenty of experience doing. 41:58.967 --> 42:01.709 [SPEAKER_00]: He's done that in the past and he's quite well at it. 42:01.749 --> 42:07.715 [SPEAKER_00]: So I think Casimiro, we may see him as a center back to rest of the season and tomorrow as well. 42:07.980 --> 42:08.381 [SPEAKER_01]: Crazy. 42:08.802 --> 42:09.082 [SPEAKER_01]: Yeah. 42:09.643 --> 42:10.625 [SPEAKER_01]: No, it's a good point to it. 42:11.066 --> 42:15.234 [SPEAKER_01]: It will be interesting to see what the team

looks like and what happens. 42:16.885 --> 42:32.839 [SPEAKER_01]: And we'll be doing live tweeting as well, so make sure you're following us at Messianco, but just to wrap up predictions, what since normally we don't, we do, we've been doing the Monday show and the games are normally over the weekend, so we don't necessarily do that, but work. 42:33.279 --> 42:38.944 [SPEAKER_01]: We have the game in two and a half hours, so I want us to put in some scores and see how we do. 42:39.224 --> 42:41.626 [SPEAKER_01]: I have mine, if you want me to go first, you tell me. 42:43.167 --> 42:44.288 [SPEAKER_00]: Not so, I'll go. 42:46.266 --> 42:57.106 [SPEAKER_00]: I'll always try to look at the past few games to kind of look at what the scores might be in Chicago scored four against Toronto two against Seattle in the last two games. 42:58.462 --> 43:00.625 [SPEAKER_01]: I'm just trying to be smart about your pronunciation. 43:00.705 --> 43:03.088 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to do the mathematics on this. 43:03.168 --> 43:06.151 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm trying to be statistic statistic statistician. 43:06.172 --> 43:12.199 [SPEAKER_00]: That statistician has a damn tough word for me. 43:12.319 --> 43:16.464 [SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go, I'm going to take four divided by two. 43:17.778 --> 43:19.319 [SPEAKER_00]: and come up with two for Chicago. 43:20.099 --> 43:24.342 [SPEAKER_00]: And then for Inter Miami, I'm gonna go these four seven last time. 43:25.342 --> 43:28.444 [SPEAKER_00]: And I mean, sorry, previously, then two against Atlantis. 43:28.804 --> 43:31.646 [SPEAKER_00]: Seven minus two is five, so I'm gonna go five, two. 43:33.166 --> 43:33.667 [SPEAKER_00]: Five, two or so. 43:33.687 --> 43:34.147 [SPEAKER_00]: Do you see that coming?
