[SPEAKER_01]: Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Messianco.
00:33.970 --> 00:53.700
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Ashley here as always with my incredible cohost Gian and today we're doing and live episode as usual But we're doing it just around two hours before kickoff of Inter Miami's mid week match against NYC FC, which will get to at the end But doing a Wednesday show not a Monday show Gian how we feeling
00:55.289 --> 00:55.890
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing good.
00:56.010 --> 00:56.630
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it Wednesday?
00:56.970 --> 00:58.672
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't know what the days are any.
00:58.812 --> 00:59.452
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so.
00:59.472 --> 01:01.694
[SPEAKER_00]: Just feel like everything's convoluted, but not I'm good.
01:01.714 --> 01:01.994
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good.
01:02.014 --> 01:02.435
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good.
01:02.535 --> 01:02.715
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good.
01:03.756 --> 01:04.436
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good.
01:04.716 --> 01:07.238
[SPEAKER_00]: I was hanging out at the Grove for a bit.
01:07.278 --> 01:08.759
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why they're local.
01:09.620 --> 01:10.761
[SPEAKER_00]: That's probably my favorite spot.
01:10.781 --> 01:13.623
[SPEAKER_00]: I think in Miami aside from probably like when would.
01:15.585 --> 01:19.468
[SPEAKER_00]: When would, you know, it's like, I know you know what should when would it.
01:20.844 --> 01:23.806
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually should let you know when I'm in the areas the next time.
01:23.826 --> 01:27.188
[SPEAKER_00]: So I typically go to winward when it's during the day.
01:27.549 --> 01:37.095
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, let's see, I'll go on a Saturday and I'll go maybe around 11, 12, one, two, and I've got my stops that I go like I go and I eat at the taco stand.
01:37.596 --> 01:38.636
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you know where that is.
01:38.876 --> 01:40.037
[SPEAKER_00]: It's my favorite taco spot.
01:40.077 --> 01:40.798
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
01:40.858 --> 01:41.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
01:41.780 --> 01:52.970
[SPEAKER_00]: talk it was called taco stand I go there and then there's a place right next to it where there's like a coffee shop and it's got really cool classic cars so I have coffee with it and I jump over the street over to billionaire boys club.
01:53.808 --> 01:56.289
[SPEAKER_00]: and I hang out there for a bit like a close and things like that.
01:56.329 --> 02:03.891
[SPEAKER_00]: So I've got like my stops, but at night, you won't catch me and when would, like, we can go, I can meet you for breakfast or brunch.
02:03.951 --> 02:04.652
[SPEAKER_01]: We'd love to.
02:04.712 --> 02:06.192
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm super, I'm super down for that.
02:06.232 --> 02:07.052
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm super down for that.
02:07.072 --> 02:11.874
[SPEAKER_01]: Because when we get places here, like really yummy breakfast places that you can eat.
02:11.894 --> 02:13.134
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you gotta let me know for sure.
02:13.195 --> 02:13.735
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm super down.
02:13.755 --> 02:16.396
[SPEAKER_00]: Joe's pizza, I freaking love and winward.
02:16.436 --> 02:17.236
[SPEAKER_00]: It's amazing.
02:17.656 --> 02:20.057
[SPEAKER_00]: And the red across the street from Joe's pizza is classic football
02:20.737 --> 02:29.122
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're like, yes, I always walk in there and I look at jerseys and stuff like that and if you ever been to the grail, the sports bar, like to watch.
02:29.162 --> 02:30.103
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've been there.
02:30.623 --> 02:31.264
[SPEAKER_01]: Super cool.
02:31.644 --> 02:32.184
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's cool.
02:32.204 --> 02:34.806
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially if you're sneakerhead, you get to go in there and then, um,
02:35.577 --> 02:47.244
[SPEAKER_00]: They bought all the coolest sneakers and stuff, but like I was telling you, at night, when we're to me is like the purge, like the movie, the purge, like I just like this, like barrels on fire and people out there like doing weird things.
02:47.264 --> 02:53.768
[SPEAKER_01]: It gets, yeah, my apartment's pretty loud on Friday and Saturday and it's like I can just hear it and I'm like, well, yeah, Anna, thank you.
02:53.808 --> 02:56.429
[SPEAKER_01]: I forget you, Gian, Anna, let's go to breakfast.
02:56.550 --> 03:00.512
[SPEAKER_01]: You can do what you want, Gian, um, totally totally love that.
03:00.532 --> 03:00.932
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, cool.
03:00.952 --> 03:01.492
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
03:01.532 --> 03:01.893
[SPEAKER_01]: Well.
03:03.556 --> 03:05.117
[SPEAKER_01]: There is a lot to talk about today.
03:05.617 --> 03:07.318
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it's a little earlier than normal.
03:07.658 --> 03:09.258
[SPEAKER_01]: What's up, Ash has a go in.
03:10.499 --> 03:12.400
[SPEAKER_01]: But a couple of reasons why I did that.
03:12.420 --> 03:27.827
[SPEAKER_01]: We thought it would be nice after Saturday's performance, to also kind of preview tonight's match, which is going to be, I don't want to say equally as important, but I think it'll be important to see if we can see some consistency, because we'll start with that.
03:31.408 --> 03:46.815
[SPEAKER_01]: with the dominating performance this past Saturday, a 4-0 win against DC United, a big home win that from minute one to minute 90, you know, it felt like Inter Miami weren't complete control, obviously the clean sheet.
03:47.335 --> 03:57.842
[SPEAKER_01]: obviously messy goals, swara's goals, at the end, them going to clap for the fans, you know, the vibes were high, and it's exactly what the team needed.
03:59.504 --> 04:11.812
[SPEAKER_01]: Needed desperately, and yeah, I mean, just to side note, I know that, you know, Nashville has been great, and then there have been a lot of really great individual performances across MLS this year.
04:12.312 --> 04:30.720
[SPEAKER_01]: And we still have time, but I just don't see a world where you can give that MVP to anyone but messy like it's just like it's crazy work what he's doing and after the emotional I'll say it's somewhat odd farewell in Argentina with the drone show we're not going to go and see
04:30.740 --> 04:50.160
[SPEAKER_01]: We did we talk about that because I really want I would love to talk about that did we talk about it We didn't talk about it yet, but I was gonna say we don't have to do a whole like I was gonna say after you can you could touch on it now as to say just after like what those emotions And everything wasn't sure what we were gonna see on Saturday and what we saw was Someone who looks just ready to ball.
04:50.420 --> 04:52.282
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say that and ball he did
04:54.341 --> 04:55.462
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that Argentina thing.
04:55.502 --> 05:15.071
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually think it's I expected more from that entire moment like and but I've had I've honestly had time to digest it and think about it a little more so yeah so what I'll say is this I initially thought it was weird that they didn't take them off of the field for like a standing ovation
05:15.711 --> 05:34.062
[SPEAKER_00]: As we've seen other players do like even for even for Lyondoski in Balsa like they did and he wasn't nearly as long as Messi was at with Argentina team He wasn't nearly as long as with Balsa but the sending off honestly was like very emotional he walked off at that you know
05:34.500 --> 05:37.242
[SPEAKER_00]: and everybody's clapping and he's crying, talking my live on those key.
05:37.742 --> 05:40.984
[SPEAKER_00]: At Balsas, so I'm like, okay, they're going to do that for Messier with Argentina.
05:41.705 --> 05:42.766
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought so too.
05:42.786 --> 05:45.007
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think a lot of people probably thought that.
05:45.647 --> 05:52.672
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought it was a missed opportunity, but after I was thinking about it in the days after, and now it's just not who he is.
05:52.692 --> 05:54.373
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, that's not who he is, exactly.
05:54.393 --> 05:57.495
[SPEAKER_00]: He probably, he probably told them, like, don't take me off.
05:57.595 --> 06:01.118
[SPEAKER_00]: Because even, even, you look at this game with a four-zero game.
06:02.275 --> 06:05.301
[SPEAKER_00]: that they just played um he didn't come off for that either.
06:05.341 --> 06:06.022
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just crazy.
06:06.042 --> 06:06.884
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't come off earlier.
06:06.964 --> 06:07.906
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't see you nighted.
06:07.986 --> 06:09.168
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like that's the same thing.
06:09.188 --> 06:10.792
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that's the greatest legacy.
06:10.812 --> 06:13.396
[SPEAKER_01]: You know the greatest way to end it is by how he does it.
06:14.239 --> 06:14.799
[SPEAKER_00]: exactly.
06:14.960 --> 06:21.984
[SPEAKER_00]: And knowing him as well, the fact that he isn't somebody that likes to spotlight on him, that would have probably been kind of a bit uncomfortable for him.
06:22.485 --> 06:29.669
[SPEAKER_00]: But I will say for any uncomfortableity that they avoided by having them walk off and be say to the speed up.
06:29.750 --> 06:36.334
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, everything after which is absolutely nullified any sense of comfortability that
06:42.858 --> 06:48.481
[SPEAKER_00]: He was about to like he was this close to bawling But then he pulled it back.
06:48.822 --> 07:07.432
[SPEAKER_00]: He pulled it back because of this drone show that starts off with a huge insurance company Advertisement and obviously AFA like they're going to look any any way that they can make money It's it's not for nothing that that that that that Yeah, he's got these things going on around him and these investment investigations and things like that, but
07:08.132 --> 07:12.475
[SPEAKER_00]: He was like, he's looking at it and he's probably like, wanting like, what the heck is this?
07:12.555 --> 07:14.977
[SPEAKER_00]: All these weird things that they're doing and then he starts.
07:15.297 --> 07:19.880
[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at the camera, like the camera focused on him and he was at times like laughing.
07:19.960 --> 07:24.864
[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't even like crying, he was laughing of what was going on and then they serenade him.
07:25.164 --> 07:32.429
[SPEAKER_00]: Like if talk about even more like too much attention on him, he must have felt so uncomfortable.
07:34.372 --> 07:38.616
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, like the what's important is that he got to experience the last game.
07:38.956 --> 07:51.889
[SPEAKER_00]: The crowd was there and they got to experience it despite what I would call from the Argentine Federation, what I would call a complete like botch of what should have been an amazing night.
07:52.009 --> 07:55.252
[SPEAKER_00]: But nonetheless, at least the crowd got to enjoy it and Messi got to enjoy it.
07:55.710 --> 07:59.871
[SPEAKER_01]: Any game at the end he even said it like this is the most I've talked in 20 years.
07:59.911 --> 08:16.057
[SPEAKER_01]: He just was talking and talking He said that I was laughing I think he was just such relief like I think that felt relief and completion on his side and that you know like in the beginning during the anthem He was choking up and I think just it's really that like
08:16.977 --> 08:20.658
[SPEAKER_01]: Not necessarily his football career is done, but like he is done with Argentina.
08:20.698 --> 08:22.539
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think there's such relief there.
08:22.559 --> 08:24.699
[SPEAKER_01]: So he was just like, he was just shooting the shit.
08:24.719 --> 08:27.520
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, just kind of just don't get it on the internet.
08:27.900 --> 08:35.222
[SPEAKER_00]: And look, Argentina should send Benina Jersey, because from what I've understood, they didn't even pay Benina to show them.
08:35.242 --> 08:36.542
[SPEAKER_01]: But where's he to enjoy it?
08:36.582 --> 08:40.743
[SPEAKER_01]: And they all got their moment with Messi after, but so anyways, it was certainly interesting.
08:40.763 --> 08:41.524
[SPEAKER_01]: But then he come down.
08:41.544 --> 08:42.924
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was more more
08:46.642 --> 08:47.250
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
08:47.270 --> 08:47.594
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
08:48.768 --> 08:58.310
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, maybe so it's just maybe he was just funny and emotional and we just never did honestly it was like I think that it was messy's worst nightmare.
08:58.330 --> 09:16.154
[SPEAKER_00]: What happened that night not only is he it was his last game with Argentina Which is probably a nightmare and of itself that he's had many times But the fact that all eyes were on him and there's a drone show and there's a serenading him and I think it was just it was quite the interesting night It was interesting.
09:16.354 --> 09:17.054
[SPEAKER_01]: It was interesting
09:18.748 --> 09:28.491
[SPEAKER_01]: But then look, we come to Saturday night and from an inner Miami standpoint, you know, the thoughts were after a tough or really tough stretch that inner Miami needed to win.
09:29.371 --> 09:38.013
[SPEAKER_01]: And not only do they do that, they won by a lot, everyone was involved even though Yannick Wright still recovering from his injury, hopefully that doesn't leak into the playoffs.
09:38.653 --> 09:45.075
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, starting to get other players healthy and back you had regular on playing, you had a week I'll playing.
09:45.861 --> 09:50.503
[SPEAKER_01]: And also, I think the clean sheet makes a huge difference.
09:50.603 --> 09:52.524
[SPEAKER_01]: Dancing Claire was back.
09:52.924 --> 09:55.685
[SPEAKER_01]: The communication seemed pretty good defensively.
09:56.305 --> 09:59.026
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's just a lot of positives taken from that night.
10:00.167 --> 10:03.748
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I mean, it was the first time in a while.
10:03.968 --> 10:07.270
[SPEAKER_01]: I really enjoyed every second of watching that in my match.
10:07.790 --> 10:12.131
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, this performance is what we should be seeing every single time.
10:12.511 --> 10:13.511
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a great way of playing it.
10:13.551 --> 10:14.231
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe not the result.
10:14.251 --> 10:20.012
[SPEAKER_01]: You're never going to get four zero when every single time, but the effort, the level of play should be there.
10:22.593 --> 10:28.674
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, I hate to be the bear of bad news, but I will say, I'm worried that that four zero worries me.
10:28.694 --> 10:29.714
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll explain to you why.
10:31.514 --> 10:34.075
[SPEAKER_00]: In August, we were on a five game losing streak.
10:34.787 --> 10:39.290
[SPEAKER_00]: that was broken up by a seven one routing of Montreal.
10:40.090 --> 10:46.294
[SPEAKER_00]: Then after that, we went on another five game losing streak if you don't count the computer and it's cut friendly.
10:47.355 --> 10:48.896
[SPEAKER_01]: And which I do more than anything.
10:50.257 --> 10:51.177
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course.
10:51.778 --> 10:58.522
[SPEAKER_00]: And then how do we break that five game winless streak with another routing, a forza routing against this United?
10:58.742 --> 10:59.883
[SPEAKER_00]: So what does that mean for us tonight?
10:59.963 --> 11:03.265
[SPEAKER_00]: Are we, I mean, are we going into another?
11:03.917 --> 11:07.742
[SPEAKER_00]: five game win this week or our things going to turn for us.
11:08.363 --> 11:12.188
[SPEAKER_00]: Finally, and we will we will back up a win with another win.
11:12.528 --> 11:14.231
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope it's that way, but I'm just looking at it.
11:14.852 --> 11:15.753
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at the numbers.
11:15.933 --> 11:18.596
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at the history here and you know, there's
11:20.023 --> 11:47.907
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a pattern here, and I just hope that into Miami once they come out and you know, they have these Statement games that mentally they're able to kind of like stay stay in that mindset and not like let go of the the gas right and and say okay You know, we had this amazing game we scored and then the next game is just like oh, I want you know, and so I'm Look at this game for zero messy score two goals
11:48.905 --> 11:50.488
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just on fire.
11:51.229 --> 11:53.773
[SPEAKER_00]: Luis Suadis scored two goals.
11:54.555 --> 11:59.223
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to talk about it in a moment as far as the actual,
12:00.288 --> 12:12.635
[SPEAKER_00]: the attack and and how we can do go moving forward, but I just think that it was great to see this team finally under under Kili Gonzalez get their first is this their first win right I believe under Kili Gonzalez not coming back.
12:12.755 --> 12:20.619
[SPEAKER_00]: Well not, yeah, not counting computer and his cup, but in Lee play this is their their first win so it's got a feel good I think for them as a team.
12:21.219 --> 12:29.705
[SPEAKER_00]: as as kind of a way for them to feel united and finally feel like maybe this is the beginning of the the ki-li era for them.
12:30.185 --> 12:30.945
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
12:31.386 --> 12:36.289
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree and look at what I liked also was, you know, Yannick Bright is a huge.
12:36.849 --> 12:37.569
[SPEAKER_01]: part of the team.
12:37.629 --> 12:41.972
[SPEAKER_01]: And like I said, not having him is much worse than than having him.
12:42.372 --> 12:46.094
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I did like is I really liked Gunnar stuff.
12:46.354 --> 12:51.977
[SPEAKER_01]: I really like what I've been seeing from him, the energy, the the ways playing the ways trying to fit in.
12:52.037 --> 12:52.557
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that.
12:52.837 --> 12:55.859
[SPEAKER_01]: We got a few more minutes out of Rekelme, which I liked as well.
12:56.779 --> 12:57.960
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to get into it in a second.
12:57.980 --> 13:00.701
[SPEAKER_01]: The attack is something that
13:05.517 --> 13:25.240
[SPEAKER_01]: streamline like inner Miami really pressing forward because you're feeling more balanced elsewhere and you feel people making runs, et cetera, super happy to have me guy all back as one of the setterbacks makes a huge, huge difference in my opinion like, you know, let me give you a line of why you keep talking about it because just people know what you're saying.
13:25.260 --> 13:31.581
[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, no, no, the lineup against the DC United since you're talking about the players, just so people can
13:35.913 --> 13:36.574
[SPEAKER_00]: back on the bench.
13:36.594 --> 13:39.055
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's been been doing pretty good.
13:39.115 --> 13:41.836
[SPEAKER_00]: He was highly really stable.
13:41.936 --> 13:42.237
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
13:43.017 --> 13:49.240
[SPEAKER_00]: So we are really low on the left side, which is good to see him on the pitch after healthy and more.
13:49.281 --> 13:50.381
[SPEAKER_00]: Because he's very valuable.
13:50.401 --> 13:51.282
[SPEAKER_01]: What he's available.
13:52.222 --> 14:00.066
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, he's no Georgia, but no who else is, but at the same time, I think he at times can fill in that role and do good, especially on attack.
14:00.106 --> 14:00.967
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he can help out.
14:01.416 --> 14:05.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Micheal and Casimiro, Casimiro continues to slot in at that center back.
14:05.297 --> 14:06.318
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great part of it.
14:07.278 --> 14:13.300
[SPEAKER_00]: Which for me, I'm just, you know, I'm surprised that oils never did that.
14:13.460 --> 14:23.303
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought we've said this on plenty of podcasts that I thought and I think we probably agree that there was a chance that Casimiro could be a center back because of his ability to play that position.
14:23.503 --> 14:27.565
[SPEAKER_00]: He's shown that he can play very well in the fact that it's a position that we needed
14:28.653 --> 14:31.636
[SPEAKER_00]: hierarchy and we have hierarchy and every I think in every line, right?
14:31.716 --> 14:33.418
[SPEAKER_00]: You have the bull in the midfield.
14:33.438 --> 14:35.220
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got messy front.
14:35.280 --> 14:41.986
[SPEAKER_00]: You needed that hierarchy or rather that that all star player in that background could lost your the other one.
14:42.026 --> 14:43.848
[SPEAKER_00]: That was that was the experience in the background.
14:43.868 --> 14:47.592
[SPEAKER_00]: So you have that pairing of me, Gailin Casimiro and the Luhan on the right.
14:47.732 --> 14:52.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you don't have Ian Frey and I think Ian Frey is available for tonight.
14:54.297 --> 14:54.557
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
14:54.577 --> 14:55.198
[SPEAKER_00]: That'd be good.
14:55.538 --> 14:57.720
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see how that how that turns out.
14:58.020 --> 14:59.441
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, right.
14:59.461 --> 15:00.862
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Ian free play.
15:00.882 --> 15:01.943
[SPEAKER_00]: He came in a minute, 78.
15:02.083 --> 15:03.044
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't start.
15:03.524 --> 15:03.704
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
15:03.744 --> 15:04.585
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's united.
15:05.586 --> 15:07.147
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's available.
15:07.167 --> 15:07.607
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see.
15:07.647 --> 15:10.369
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, but maybe they'll stick with the hot hand of Wuhan.
15:10.389 --> 15:10.750
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see.
15:10.990 --> 15:12.191
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, obviously in a perfect world.
15:12.211 --> 15:13.552
[SPEAKER_01]: It would be Ian fry.
15:13.592 --> 15:13.792
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
15:13.812 --> 15:14.573
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the midfield.
15:14.633 --> 15:17.795
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, midfield Yargalarsa Ayala and the Paul.
15:17.815 --> 15:18.395
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously,
15:21.103 --> 15:28.250
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so you have Ayyala there where Yarnick would play, but the interesting thing is somebody seems to have lost their spot.
15:29.231 --> 15:32.494
[SPEAKER_00]: And this means her Miami team and then that is the lasco segovia.
15:32.634 --> 15:36.959
[SPEAKER_00]: So govia, um, look, but he was also on your national duty.
15:36.999 --> 15:39.041
[SPEAKER_01]: He was hurt and then he was within as well.
15:39.121 --> 15:42.404
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm curious to see if he comes back or not.
15:42.905 --> 15:44.786
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think they may be working on back slowly?
15:44.966 --> 15:49.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that kind of what you're trying to... Maybe, well, I mean, maybe, maybe, I don't know.
15:49.747 --> 15:52.188
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, and I've said it before, too, too.
15:52.228 --> 16:03.291
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't know if, like, obviously, it would be bright over Ayala, but in terms of like, what I've been seeing at a Galarsa, I think,
16:04.331 --> 16:09.814
[SPEAKER_01]: If Sagovia, if he's not hot in a game, then I don't think he brings enough value for what's needed.
16:10.494 --> 16:20.059
[SPEAKER_01]: And the consistency or the energy I'm seeing from God RSS so far, I think has been working while where you feel the true, like,
16:20.799 --> 16:25.844
[SPEAKER_01]: the feeding of into your front-threat, right, of birth that I made as far as and messy.
16:25.864 --> 16:28.747
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, to me, it seems better.
16:28.887 --> 16:41.218
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know for sure, but yeah, I think Sagovia has some great moments, but also just not enough consistency and when he's not hot and he's not shooting and scoring, he doesn't bring the other element of what you need from a midfield or, you know?
16:42.379 --> 16:46.323
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that makes sense and it'll be interesting to see if
16:47.694 --> 17:04.966
[SPEAKER_00]: Possibly your theory may be correct at it, you know, it's not necessarily that he lost it, but the fact that maybe he maybe he he's experimenting to see what works best, especially up front when I think you don't have a better than I may that is doing too well right now, so you kind of need that it's born and open there.
17:04.986 --> 17:16.133
[SPEAKER_01]: Or the fact that he's working on back you got what he got close, so he two of his shots got really close on Saturday where I thought they were confident shots, and that's what yeah.
17:16.273 --> 17:19.536
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, scaring me previously was there was like no confidence when he shot it.
17:19.616 --> 17:22.698
[SPEAKER_01]: These last two ones like those were like striker shots.
17:22.738 --> 17:23.378
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you know what I mean?
17:23.599 --> 17:25.820
[SPEAKER_01]: And so hopefully he'll start getting them in.
17:27.141 --> 17:28.402
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no 100 percent.
17:28.422 --> 17:29.803
[SPEAKER_01]: We said that last year about I end there.
17:29.823 --> 17:33.306
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember there was a lot a stretch where like he couldn't score in an ocean.
17:33.606 --> 17:35.588
[SPEAKER_01]: But then it was the leading score in the playoffs.
17:35.628 --> 17:37.329
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it could happen.
17:38.859 --> 17:39.720
[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely can't happen.
17:39.740 --> 17:43.742
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think about last year that I didn't kind of peaked at the right time.
17:44.062 --> 17:44.442
[SPEAKER_01]: Right time.
17:44.462 --> 17:45.363
[SPEAKER_00]: Really at the perfect timing.
17:45.843 --> 17:50.806
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to think about if that I didn't have that boost in performance at the end of the season.
17:51.166 --> 17:53.068
[SPEAKER_00]: We may not have been a molest cup champ.
17:53.088 --> 17:53.628
[SPEAKER_00]: So like it was.
17:54.908 --> 18:09.331
[SPEAKER_00]: He broke the record, so he's obviously messy is the biggest, or the biggest influence on the fact that we won, but that I didn't do, I mean, was huge, like huge in our run.
18:09.391 --> 18:14.032
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully, that's the bit that I'm in a story that it mirrors that I didn't do.
18:14.452 --> 18:21.153
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, and so let's talk about the attack, because we've been hinting at it when going over this past game, you know,
18:21.673 --> 18:26.557
[SPEAKER_01]: Messie has 11 goals in nine games, Swara's three goals and three.
18:26.897 --> 18:29.820
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we said, Bert, there I'm it feels like it's getting closer and closer.
18:30.200 --> 18:31.822
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully we got that switch.
18:31.842 --> 18:34.324
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm just, I was looking at just stats for the season.
18:34.344 --> 18:37.486
[SPEAKER_01]: And Messie right now has 23 goals and 13 assists.
18:39.468 --> 18:45.571
[SPEAKER_01]: which is just like crazy, but Louis Swara's 15 goals and seven assists.
18:45.731 --> 18:50.333
[SPEAKER_01]: So 23 gold contributions, like that's that's really nothing to knock your head at.
18:50.813 --> 19:00.977
[SPEAKER_01]: Roger, go to Paul 13 assists, like, you know, it's there there's some movement there and and more most importantly, though, is is like the jelling of that together.
19:01.137 --> 19:02.938
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, you know, to your point,
19:03.478 --> 19:19.212
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Suarez, like, it was an excellent game he had and if he can keep up sort of being that person where he doesn't get many chances, but if he gets it, he scores it, you know, that's what we can ask for because Messi will continue to create for himself and for others.
19:19.592 --> 19:21.734
[SPEAKER_01]: He will continue to continue to continue that.
19:21.834 --> 19:22.535
[SPEAKER_01]: I will never stop.
19:22.875 --> 19:29.220
[SPEAKER_01]: If Suarez takes the chances and keeps, you know, get gets them in, then we're looking at something good, right?
19:29.320 --> 19:30.922
[SPEAKER_01]: And we can keep that consistency.
19:32.728 --> 19:43.131
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, while you were doing what you were saying that I was trying to, I agree with you said and I'm trying to find like the MLS goal scoring leaders to see, I want to see, I wanted to see where.
19:43.151 --> 19:43.931
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to see where.
19:43.971 --> 19:44.711
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually probably see.
19:44.731 --> 19:45.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, if you, you can look it up.
19:45.911 --> 19:47.352
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted to see where Swada stands.
19:47.432 --> 19:49.432
[SPEAKER_00]: It's funny that I landed on something else.
19:49.472 --> 19:51.133
[SPEAKER_00]: Some other stats that I wasn't looking for.
19:51.853 --> 19:54.494
[SPEAKER_00]: And guess who has the most left-footed shots.
19:55.194 --> 19:55.794
[SPEAKER_00]: In that moment.
19:57.294 --> 19:57.755
[SPEAKER_01]: Massy.
19:58.595 --> 19:58.835
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
19:59.925 --> 20:03.208
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, protection is that left left for the shots.
20:03.268 --> 20:16.040
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean me wonder if I could there be somebody else Right for the let's see right for the shots That's actually hilarious.
20:16.100 --> 20:18.582
[SPEAKER_00]: You know that they don't have a stat for right for the shots.
20:18.602 --> 20:21.385
[SPEAKER_00]: They only make this stat to get messy another
20:22.242 --> 20:43.831
[SPEAKER_00]: lead in a stat it's there's no right for the shots left for the shots little messy 136 with uh and there's drier at 78 and martino hit at 64 I mean he you find it yep okay uh where's yeah yeah go ahead or do you want to ask question first well no I was gonna ask you where least what is this but you you can go ahead and just just yeah so messy's one
20:51.560 --> 20:59.984
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but, but, but Ty actually like, but, but Ty for seven, technically like he's 12 on this list, he's that he's tied for 7.
21:00.905 --> 21:01.885
[SPEAKER_01]: He has 15 goals.
21:02.426 --> 21:04.807
[SPEAKER_01]: So, like there's multiple people who have 15 goals.
21:04.847 --> 21:06.948
[SPEAKER_01]: He's tied for 7 is a better way of saying it.
21:06.968 --> 21:07.468
[SPEAKER_00]: He's tied for 7.
21:07.568 --> 21:08.289
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
21:08.949 --> 21:11.851
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and Messy is second in assist.
21:11.911 --> 21:14.412
[SPEAKER_01]: So, number one goals were second in assist.
21:15.052 --> 21:28.200
[SPEAKER_01]: God, it's only tried, you know, and then the other, you know, you have Musa from FC Dallas, you have Nielani Loski from Union, Brian White from Whitecaps.
21:28.481 --> 21:35.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Same surage, only 16 goals, which actually surprises me from Nashville with how well they're doing, and honey moved our only 14 goals.
21:35.765 --> 21:37.826
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe they're just really operating as a whole unit.
21:39.730 --> 21:47.999
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it's a Rodrigo de Paul is also ranked second, both him and Messi both have 13 assists.
21:48.499 --> 21:49.400
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know.
21:49.700 --> 22:00.391
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I wanted you to look that up because I guess what I was trying to get it is that it's honestly like a blessing for this team that Luis Suarez,
22:01.440 --> 22:11.342
[SPEAKER_00]: is being able to perform at such a high level at his age and not someone that was even expected to be a starter this season.
22:12.043 --> 22:23.105
[SPEAKER_00]: And was brought on simply because probably was brought on for another season, probably more for the next year to ride the bench with more than anything for his leadership on this team.
22:23.305 --> 22:27.646
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that you want to have a quality striker that you can bring in for
22:30.392 --> 22:57.204
[SPEAKER_00]: come in and work and have a lot of starts and a lot of minutes because of injuries and that he's able to be seventh in scoring tied for seventh in this league and have that many assists because what's the total goal contributions got 50 goals in how many assists 22 22 goal contributions for a guy that wasn't even supposed to be starting this season it's huge for Inter Miami again you don't have to do it in the you don't have silvetti
22:59.602 --> 23:03.266
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's like also had up and down to get the caution, et cetera.
23:03.426 --> 23:15.280
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he basically doesn't, it doesn't really do much on the look, you know, I, I still think though I don't want to tear him down and I want to see that he's still, I think at times finds a way to have an impact on their game.
23:15.617 --> 23:33.788
[SPEAKER_00]: this last game against the scenario he did have to assist so even though he didn't score but you really like millimetres off like where he really was close but hopefully that's him inching closer and closer to finally getting that goal because we've talked about this many times that especially when we were talking about the other day in the last season
23:34.188 --> 23:42.134
[SPEAKER_00]: You just at times you need just that one goal to go in as a ghost or as a number, you know, as an attacker and that kind of opens everything for you.
23:42.535 --> 23:54.364
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully that's just him inch and closer and until he figures that out, you know, if he can at least assist, but you're going to need more from him, especially going into the, into the postseason.
23:54.905 --> 23:56.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he hasn't scored.
23:56.913 --> 24:00.395
[SPEAKER_00]: since me, bet it on it, if I'm not mistaken.
24:00.676 --> 24:04.558
[SPEAKER_00]: You're talking about how many games, probably more than 10 games, where he has magical.
24:05.379 --> 24:07.540
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that, I mean, that's huge, how are you?
24:08.381 --> 24:09.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, there is a world cup break.
24:09.622 --> 24:11.303
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why there is a world cup break, yeah.
24:13.888 --> 24:22.031
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, I'm going to look and see when there's the last time he scored, but it's been, it's been that long for Bertha and I'm it's it's crazy.
24:22.071 --> 24:31.334
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that Inter Miami has been able to survive without the guy literally a guy that they invested so much money on to bring it and not scores is crazy.
24:31.354 --> 24:31.694
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got,
24:41.537 --> 24:42.780
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, I'm going to have to go down.
24:42.800 --> 24:46.427
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'm still scrolling and I still don't see a goal.
24:47.409 --> 24:49.272
[SPEAKER_00]: You're talking about the last time he's go here we go.
24:49.293 --> 24:52.799
[SPEAKER_00]: He scored two goals made 24th against the union.
24:53.558 --> 25:07.434
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the last time he scored and since then since scoring against the union he's played 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, around 15 or 16 games without scoring on goal for Inter Miami.
25:08.235 --> 25:10.817
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you really need something for him.
25:11.198 --> 25:12.920
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't see this team winning.
25:14.366 --> 25:17.407
[SPEAKER_00]: And well, that's up without better than I'm giving them something.
25:17.447 --> 25:24.130
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not telling you it has to be 100% turn around where he's scoring 10 goals in the postseason, but he's got to give you something.
25:24.170 --> 25:27.271
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's going to be really hard without without it.
25:27.291 --> 25:27.932
[SPEAKER_01]: Great.
25:27.992 --> 25:33.814
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I think Francisco, it's true that it feels like Miami may have got the wrong type of striker.
25:33.954 --> 25:37.836
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's been a weird season for him overall, hopefully turns around.
25:37.916 --> 25:40.617
[SPEAKER_01]: If not, I think there will have to be some movement because.
25:41.298 --> 25:44.539
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Swar is obviously the legs can't keep going.
25:45.260 --> 25:47.281
[SPEAKER_01]: You will have to lay on the back next year.
25:47.301 --> 25:47.981
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see.
25:48.301 --> 25:57.906
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but you know, the issue is that you said that Ash, I, I like that you said that, um, that even though Louis Swar is a scoring, it's about his legs.
25:57.946 --> 26:01.787
[SPEAKER_00]: And what you mean by that is, it's, it's about his, uh, his fitness.
26:02.087 --> 26:07.750
[SPEAKER_00]: Not, not, well, not only his, his fitness, but the fact that obviously he's aging and he can't run as much.
26:08.639 --> 26:37.473
[SPEAKER_00]: And we tend to think about that from the offensive perspective right the attack because you see him I mean at times it literally looks like his knees just going to fall off the Mr. potato head like it's just it's that bad, but but one of the things that we have to I was looking right now at the stats and one of the stats I saw in to Miami has the most goals in a molest I think they have like 68 right now so they're not having an issue scoring but where does where does the lack of fitness.
26:39.665 --> 26:41.846
[SPEAKER_00]: hurt you from a Luis Suarez.
26:41.886 --> 26:42.626
[SPEAKER_00]: It's on defense.
26:43.166 --> 26:50.849
[SPEAKER_00]: It's on defense because not only do you have Messi who doesn't help much on defense and it's part that's that's also tactical.
26:51.329 --> 26:53.870
[SPEAKER_00]: It's him you know that Messi likes to walk.
26:54.330 --> 26:56.971
[SPEAKER_00]: Messi scans the field left and right.
26:57.191 --> 26:59.211
[SPEAKER_00]: That's even advice that he's given some of the younger guys.
26:59.231 --> 27:00.752
[SPEAKER_00]: They've said it in press conferences.
27:01.092 --> 27:01.852
[SPEAKER_00]: What's an advice that
27:08.079 --> 27:27.612
[SPEAKER_00]: So his job is to stay up, but that I'm it helps on defense, but when you have two guys that don't help much on defense to talk messy and sweaters, that's one of the reasons why into Miami also allows so many goals and even though they score more than any team in an MLS, that means they're not winning much because of that they give up too many goals.
27:27.652 --> 27:31.215
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, I, I just think that you, if,
27:32.153 --> 27:41.905
[SPEAKER_00]: If you have a, if you have a bit that I'm in that scoring, then that allows you to maybe give a regal man a chance to, to, you know, put him more out, why regal and more in the middle of X Luis Suarez.
27:42.226 --> 27:49.434
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the Suarez can be on the bench, there you go, Felipe, Suarez, Messi and then Felipe can help you on defense.
27:49.695 --> 27:50.316
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be huge.
27:50.656 --> 27:51.616
[SPEAKER_00]: I like what I often recommend those minutes.
27:51.636 --> 27:52.857
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, yeah, like I said, I'll say, I'll say it once.
27:52.877 --> 27:53.317
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it twice.
27:53.377 --> 27:54.057
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it in a million times.
27:54.077 --> 27:55.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Brazilian Recall may offense winning attack.
27:55.097 --> 27:55.457
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it will work.
27:55.477 --> 27:55.917
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure of it.
27:55.937 --> 27:56.278
[SPEAKER_01]: So I agree.
27:56.338 --> 27:57.118
[SPEAKER_01]: What we'll see in and I'll say it once.
27:57.138 --> 27:57.578
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
27:57.598 --> 27:58.078
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
27:58.098 --> 27:58.578
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
27:58.598 --> 27:58.938
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
27:58.958 --> 27:59.318
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
27:59.338 --> 27:59.879
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
27:59.899 --> 28:00.319
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:00.359 --> 28:00.759
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:00.799 --> 28:01.179
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:01.199 --> 28:01.619
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:01.679 --> 28:02.099
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:02.119 --> 28:02.979
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:02.999 --> 28:03.360
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:03.640 --> 28:04.020
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:04.040 --> 28:04.440
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:04.460 --> 28:04.880
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:04.900 --> 28:05.240
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:05.260 --> 28:05.620
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:05.640 --> 28:06.160
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:06.180 --> 28:06.621
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:06.641 --> 28:07.041
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:07.061 --> 28:07.401
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:07.501 --> 28:07.901
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:07.921 --> 28:08.301
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once
28:09.143 --> 28:13.846
[SPEAKER_01]: Tonight we'll be really important because Ash says, you know, we've purged the losing aura.
28:14.207 --> 28:19.330
[SPEAKER_01]: It felt like that Saturday, um, it, it hopefully will feel like that tonight.
28:19.530 --> 28:20.471
[SPEAKER_01]: It will be very important.
28:21.051 --> 28:30.358
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and before we get into the preview, just really, really quickly, something that I saw that that that came across my desk that I wasn't expecting to see,
28:31.158 --> 28:34.499
[SPEAKER_01]: especially after the retirement from Argentina last weekend.
28:34.839 --> 28:57.767
[SPEAKER_01]: The last tango was this question, which is is there a possibility we're going to see an extension for Leonardo Messi that goes beyond next year maybe looking like there could be anywhere from two to four to five more years in MLS and let me tell you why I say that because a lot of reports came out from Argentina
29:00.270 --> 29:20.705
[SPEAKER_01]: After the final match, he didn't in Argentina, and this was a lot of it was on Twitter and from personalities and from people who follow the team that, that from what they've heard from their sources, messy is he put the end of his chapter with Argentina, but he doesn't feel close to wanting to retire or stop.
29:20.805 --> 29:21.566
[SPEAKER_01]: He still feels good.
29:21.606 --> 29:22.506
[SPEAKER_01]: He still really likes it.
29:22.786 --> 29:23.427
[SPEAKER_01]: He likes seeing
29:23.758 --> 29:25.619
[SPEAKER_01]: his kids at the Academy, he likes it.
29:25.639 --> 29:31.782
[SPEAKER_01]: You saw he peep out this secondary mansion and Miami next to his current one and making a big compound.
29:32.503 --> 29:37.225
[SPEAKER_01]: And people, he's not running away as quick as people may think.
29:37.885 --> 29:42.148
[SPEAKER_01]: There's not a lot of ground on the story yet.
29:42.188 --> 29:43.148
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll have to wait and see.
29:43.188 --> 29:46.310
[SPEAKER_01]: I think a lot of it will depend honestly on how the season plans out.
29:46.890 --> 29:59.933
[SPEAKER_01]: But I thought it was interesting on polymarket that there's there was what like a now like a a higher percent chance on which he and not to say you can exactly trust it, but that there's a Hold on, let me find it.
29:59.993 --> 30:15.217
[SPEAKER_01]: I could afford a 47 percent chance that he's going to extend his contract to at least twenty twenty eight Fifty percent of people betting on that is quite a jump from where we were a few months ago, so I don't know just I thought yay
30:16.978 --> 30:18.400
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going one step at a time.
30:18.440 --> 30:22.387
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like let's first see if he comes back next season first before we think about it.
30:22.447 --> 30:23.709
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he's supposed to be
30:24.832 --> 30:27.253
[SPEAKER_00]: He, I mean, on paper, but so it's Jordi Alva.
30:28.053 --> 30:31.455
[SPEAKER_00]: Jordi Alva literally signed the contract and then didn't show up for practice.
30:31.835 --> 30:32.815
[SPEAKER_00]: We talking about practice.
30:33.156 --> 30:36.437
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's, it's, it's, it can, it can happen.
30:37.037 --> 30:38.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it can definitely happen.
30:38.078 --> 30:39.758
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a little, little, little reference.
30:39.778 --> 30:41.199
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's right.
30:41.259 --> 30:47.762
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Boose gets, you know, in interviews, it's made it seem like he was thinking about it, but there was a chance that he would come back.
30:47.782 --> 30:50.183
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a message with different planets and both of them.
30:50.243 --> 30:51.023
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a different entity.
30:52.584 --> 31:00.970
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but so much has happened in Messi's life that it's even, like, Buzquez has just, he's tired and he wanted a coach.
31:01.070 --> 31:06.634
[SPEAKER_00]: Jordan Yalba, he, I don't know what his, he had a crazy like 180 change of mind.
31:06.654 --> 31:11.217
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what influence that, but Messi so much has happened in his life.
31:12.227 --> 31:16.951
[SPEAKER_00]: His father passing was obviously like catastrophic for him.
31:16.991 --> 31:25.219
[SPEAKER_00]: I think for most people would be the catastrophic thing in your life, especially so many that were so intertwined with his other love, which is football.
31:25.659 --> 31:26.500
[SPEAKER_00]: That's his other love.
31:26.520 --> 31:28.321
[SPEAKER_00]: So two things are crazy intertwined.
31:29.022 --> 31:33.906
[SPEAKER_00]: Then he retires from Argentina.
31:33.986 --> 31:35.468
[SPEAKER_00]: His other love that he has.
31:35.628 --> 31:36.689
[SPEAKER_00]: And now he's got left right now.
31:36.709 --> 31:37.570
[SPEAKER_00]: I was into Miami.
31:38.325 --> 31:44.790
[SPEAKER_00]: And, and Antonella, you know, she's, I don't want her to come back and tell us that we're mentioning his loves and we didn't mention her.
31:45.271 --> 31:58.562
[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, to me it's like, If this is all he's got left football wise, and Inter Miami doesn't win them a less cup after not winning
32:00.703 --> 32:05.067
[SPEAKER_00]: champions cup after not winning a league cup after not winning supporters shield.
32:05.427 --> 32:13.574
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it may be something I may be very difficult for for Messi to say do I want to come back to this to a project that is not a winning project?
32:14.467 --> 32:35.479
[SPEAKER_00]: to a project that has had three different coaches in a span of four or five months to a team that doesn't seem to have an identity, to a team that spends almost $20 million on a forward from league iamakeys that can't score and on top of that if they don't win them a less cup or if they don't if they don't find a way to get the champions cup next season
32:36.427 --> 32:40.030
[SPEAKER_00]: and he doesn't have the opportunity to fight for an international cup other than the next cup.
32:40.371 --> 32:44.494
[SPEAKER_00]: That's also something that I think can help steer him and that he may not be back.
32:44.534 --> 32:50.800
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not saying he won't, but I'm saying that the possibility of him not coming back next season certainly exists.
32:51.180 --> 32:51.921
[SPEAKER_00]: It's real.
32:52.081 --> 32:52.622
[SPEAKER_00]: It can happen.
32:53.202 --> 32:54.583
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's actually both though.
32:54.763 --> 32:58.225
[SPEAKER_01]: I think there's a high chance of both, which makes it interesting, right?
32:58.585 --> 33:02.907
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there could be a chance that he doesn't with everything you said at stake.
33:03.247 --> 33:05.729
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think on the other side of things, do you go well?
33:06.169 --> 33:08.950
[SPEAKER_01]: I think now, like, there's every chance you'll continue.
33:09.070 --> 33:09.671
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
33:09.691 --> 33:11.692
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I think you could flip the coin both ways.
33:12.452 --> 33:13.973
[SPEAKER_01]: And we'll just have to wait and see.
33:14.333 --> 33:15.754
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is an interesting comment.
33:16.534 --> 33:20.257
[SPEAKER_01]: He has two Spanish clubs, co-owns, and Argentina club, Newelles.
33:20.277 --> 33:21.078
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not going to know us.
33:21.178 --> 33:21.798
[SPEAKER_01]: I promise you that.
33:22.119 --> 33:25.201
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel very confident that he's last team will be in a Miami.
33:26.522 --> 33:27.703
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel pretty strongly about that.
33:28.163 --> 33:36.410
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, if he does play our next season, I guess the question, probably the main question that we're talking about is whether he'll resign.
33:37.470 --> 33:40.691
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's on an extension after, but at that point he's 41.
33:40.711 --> 33:43.152
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, is he going to be playing at 41 years old.
33:43.272 --> 33:45.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Like he's the best right now in the league.
33:46.154 --> 33:47.894
[SPEAKER_01]: He's he was the best in the world cup.
33:48.254 --> 33:51.556
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, yeah, I mean, yeah, I think he's changing to talk about two years.
33:51.956 --> 33:57.918
[SPEAKER_01]: He's watching his kids his kids grow in the academy and and you know me.
33:58.239 --> 33:58.599
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
33:58.699 --> 33:59.059
[SPEAKER_01]: I think.
33:59.559 --> 34:01.040
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he has stakes in the team.
34:01.080 --> 34:02.341
[SPEAKER_01]: He has stakes in the MLS.
34:02.381 --> 34:04.383
[SPEAKER_01]: He has stakes in the share.
34:04.623 --> 34:10.748
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of things that he, you know, his, his fingerprints are wrapped around and into Miami, the stadium.
34:10.768 --> 34:15.571
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot, you know, so I think I think the biggest, I think, yeah, no, I agree with you.
34:15.631 --> 34:16.852
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think there's more factors.
34:17.333 --> 34:24.138
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the sporting factor, the, the current, whatever the state of the club is.
34:25.213 --> 34:27.735
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll determine what he does moving forward.
34:27.755 --> 34:37.242
[SPEAKER_00]: But also, when you're talking about other factors, it's what was mentioned here by, I believe, where is it by a pepto?
34:37.903 --> 34:41.686
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he does have other things going on around him.
34:42.613 --> 34:43.233
[SPEAKER_00]: football wise.
34:43.253 --> 34:44.574
[SPEAKER_00]: He's he can he's bought clubs.
34:44.594 --> 34:46.415
[SPEAKER_00]: He just finished buying another Spanish club.
34:46.675 --> 34:48.376
[SPEAKER_00]: He had that first one and then he bought one.
34:48.396 --> 34:52.777
[SPEAKER_01]: He wanted to buy all the clubs around Barcelona and then just take them.
34:52.797 --> 35:01.741
[SPEAKER_00]: But those that's something that he may want to focus on too, because I know that Jordi Alba actually he I think one of the reasons he left was he also has a sporting project.
35:01.801 --> 35:03.642
[SPEAKER_00]: He I think he bought a team or something like that.
35:03.702 --> 35:05.003
[SPEAKER_00]: He wanted to focus on that.
35:07.264 --> 35:08.424
[SPEAKER_00]: So that may be something too.
35:08.444 --> 35:09.945
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the determining factor for him.
35:10.960 --> 35:12.561
[SPEAKER_01]: 100% and look, time will tell.
35:12.581 --> 35:15.641
[SPEAKER_01]: I think to your point how Intermoir may perform time will tell.
35:15.701 --> 35:19.723
[SPEAKER_01]: He does have that, I think it's like an E club to like a e sports thing.
35:20.023 --> 35:21.143
[SPEAKER_01]: He has a lot of other things.
35:21.643 --> 35:26.865
[SPEAKER_01]: I think though, I'll just say the one thing that makes a different from every other person.
35:27.725 --> 35:30.866
[SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, to be fair, the same could be said about Ronaldo.
35:31.746 --> 35:34.427
[SPEAKER_01]: Their level and messy level in particular.
35:35.102 --> 35:54.488
[SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to stop when you're still this good like for a lot of players when they're it's like Lebron James like it's hard for he could have stopped a long time ago it's hard to stop when you're still this good and I really mean he looks all the Cristiano looks all oh, I may be and maybe Lebron's a better example of a Christian is older.
35:56.392 --> 36:02.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Am I crazy to say this Cristiano looks older than sweat is like the way he's walking at I don't know if you've seen some of these.
36:02.395 --> 36:03.936
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just trying to get the thousand goals.
36:03.956 --> 36:06.537
[SPEAKER_01]: He's doing everything he can to see to get the thousand.
36:06.557 --> 36:08.258
[SPEAKER_00]: That dude is hobbling like you.
36:08.278 --> 36:08.879
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
36:08.959 --> 36:09.579
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I know.
36:09.659 --> 36:10.619
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not a good example.
36:10.880 --> 36:19.444
[SPEAKER_01]: I think LeBron actually is probably a more comparable example where yeah, like when you're playing at such a high level, it's hard to just stop, you know.
36:19.724 --> 36:22.085
[SPEAKER_01]: It just I think that's true and and he is.
36:22.125 --> 36:23.246
[SPEAKER_01]: He's the best in MLS.
36:23.526 --> 36:25.047
[SPEAKER_01]: He was just the best at the World Cup.
36:25.487 --> 36:32.911
[SPEAKER_01]: He can be the best anywhere and so when you're still the best like you want everyone so wants to be the best I think that applies to him too.
36:33.372 --> 36:41.116
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see no conversations on it yet Yeah, this is your source it's still scoring bangers the body may be not be there, but
36:41.556 --> 36:44.820
[SPEAKER_01]: He still he gets he scores those goals where you're like them.
36:45.001 --> 36:45.761
[SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of crazy.
36:46.182 --> 36:54.112
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see we'll just have to watch a tap and see I would just thought that a couple of those tweets were interesting.
36:54.132 --> 36:57.036
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought the polymark thing was interesting and you know
36:57.547 --> 37:14.431
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't know everything so we'll see a big factor though is going to be starting tonight though can we keep the momentum rolling can we can the team Kind of start getting themselves ready for the playoffs on the super high note and to your point have a great end of the season, which would maybe make him stay.
37:16.172 --> 37:18.232
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's talk about it tonight.
37:18.392 --> 37:20.633
[SPEAKER_01]: Intermiumy playing against New York City FC.
37:22.182 --> 37:30.387
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, at new stadium, hopefully trying to now really make it a fortress after Saturday's performance.
37:31.759 --> 37:59.712
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a must win, not even like, it's a must win because New York, like there's when you go to Columbus when you're playing against national like those are difficult teams difficult situations, et cetera, like you should be you should be New York City at home and I think it's a must win to show that we're not going back to those five game losing streaks we're not just having these little glimmers like we're seeing players come back we're getting in an identity.
38:00.152 --> 38:03.836
[SPEAKER_01]: we're playing consistent, you know, things are well-hinged up.
38:04.197 --> 38:06.099
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to see it in a game like this.
38:06.159 --> 38:08.081
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a game that should feel like a lay-up.
38:08.201 --> 38:09.342
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, not a lay-up, you know what I mean?
38:09.362 --> 38:11.865
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, like, it should feel like we expect to win.
38:12.866 --> 38:13.447
[SPEAKER_01]: In my opinion.
38:16.008 --> 38:19.271
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you want to close out the season strong, going into the playoffs.
38:20.031 --> 38:25.296
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I feel like we've been saying this every episode over the last two months, like you need to finish this out strong.
38:25.776 --> 38:29.820
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to go into the playoffs and then, okay, let's try to turn it on.
38:29.920 --> 38:35.344
[SPEAKER_00]: No, you want to go in there on at least some sort of a streak, especially within your coach.
38:35.384 --> 38:37.346
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to figure out the line up now.
38:37.426 --> 38:39.087
[SPEAKER_00]: You want him to figure out the strategy.
38:39.107 --> 38:42.110
[SPEAKER_00]: You want him to get that defense in line before the playoffs start.
38:42.510 --> 38:43.331
[SPEAKER_00]: Miami right now has a 65,
38:44.652 --> 38:49.175
[SPEAKER_00]: of Miami's probability of winning tonight is 65% and pretend to win.
38:49.195 --> 38:51.536
[SPEAKER_01]: New York City or 10th in the East, you know?
38:51.556 --> 38:56.559
[SPEAKER_00]: 10th in the East, they've won eight of 28 league matches.
38:56.819 --> 39:01.581
[SPEAKER_00]: They have a 29% win rate, and they just came off of a two-one loss at Chicago.
39:02.882 --> 39:08.505
[SPEAKER_00]: But they do have a player, Medgal, 15 goals, and 55 chances created this season.
39:08.545 --> 39:09.786
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be the guy to look out for.
39:14.467 --> 39:15.107
[SPEAKER_00]: for Inter Miami.
39:15.127 --> 39:19.089
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an important game because when you go into the playoffs, you want home field advantage, right?
39:19.730 --> 39:19.990
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
39:20.110 --> 39:24.212
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a home field advantage and the east right now is really, really tight.
39:24.232 --> 39:24.952
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
39:25.032 --> 39:29.314
[SPEAKER_00]: Inter Miami's margin of air right now is very slim, slim to none.
39:31.175 --> 39:37.378
[SPEAKER_00]: Chicago, I'm looking at the standing, Chicago, New England, and Charlotte can all pass Miami.
39:38.018 --> 39:39.859
[SPEAKER_00]: If Miami drops points tonight.
39:41.420 --> 39:41.600
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
39:42.250 --> 39:46.394
[SPEAKER_00]: Chicago is one point back and you England and Charlotte are three points back.
39:47.374 --> 39:53.940
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why it's It's important thinking about that perspective where it's like you want to make sure you have it's you want to make sure
39:57.112 --> 40:15.367
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, all the other thing, too, is looking at it from the NYC's perspective, NYC's not going to just kill over and they go, we're tempted, you were tenth in the league and intramami is going to beat us and who cares, just go in there and try not to make a clown out of yourself, just try to keep it tight, a two zero, you know, two zero or only losing one zero is a win for us.
40:15.427 --> 40:19.230
[SPEAKER_00]: No, they're going to go in there and they're going to try to win and they're going to try to win for multiple reasons.
40:19.270 --> 40:23.774
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one, because every single team tries to show it against intramami, they want to prove a point, they want to say,
40:24.254 --> 40:27.096
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, Inter Miami, they get all the praise, they get all the visibility.
40:27.156 --> 40:28.057
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's Messi's team.
40:28.557 --> 40:29.438
[SPEAKER_00]: Teams are sick of that.
40:29.838 --> 40:41.486
[SPEAKER_00]: They're tired of the attention and the praise that Inter Miami gets and they try to go in there and you see this all the time with these teams that will come out of a four or five game losing streak and give Inter Miami the toughest game they've ever seen.
40:41.606 --> 40:43.688
[SPEAKER_00]: Go and go and play out of the mind.
40:43.728 --> 40:43.928
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
40:43.948 --> 40:45.729
[SPEAKER_01]: Prime, you know, Gigi Buffon.
40:45.829 --> 40:46.750
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
40:46.890 --> 40:47.431
[SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy.
40:47.451 --> 40:50.233
[SPEAKER_00]: So you know, from that perspective, this isn't going to be an easy game.
40:50.893 --> 40:55.335
[SPEAKER_00]: The other side of it is you have to look at the standings as well and see what's going on with New York City.
40:55.355 --> 40:56.595
[SPEAKER_00]: New York City right now is 10th.
40:56.995 --> 40:58.996
[SPEAKER_00]: They're fighting for a playoff spot themselves.
40:59.176 --> 41:01.097
[SPEAKER_01]: And the wildfire right there is super close.
41:01.157 --> 41:01.957
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
41:01.977 --> 41:05.318
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're looking for that eighth and ninth playoff qualifier spot.
41:05.638 --> 41:14.802
[SPEAKER_00]: They have 33 points and above them are Cincinnati with 36 and on Red Bull, New York with 36 and the even Orlando City in seventh place is at 37.
41:14.822 --> 41:14.862
[SPEAKER_00]: So
41:18.547 --> 41:20.668
[SPEAKER_00]: They're fighting for their lives, fighting for their lives.
41:20.688 --> 41:27.192
[SPEAKER_00]: So this isn't going to be, at least it shouldn't be, given the scenario, it shouldn't be an easy game.
41:27.652 --> 41:47.122
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, we'll have to see, Miami comes off of a five game losing streak with a four-rowing can, they build off of that, and have another great game, or they gonna do the same thing they did when they came off of the last losing streak with that seven-one win, and then just do the right back into the same bad pattern
41:47.659 --> 41:52.641
[SPEAKER_00]: bad behaviors, and we'll have to see, hopefully this is the beginning of something new.
41:52.941 --> 41:55.602
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll build off of Kaylee's first win in the regular season.
41:56.262 --> 41:57.543
[SPEAKER_00]: And what do we have?
41:57.583 --> 41:58.723
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's five games left.
41:58.743 --> 42:00.244
[SPEAKER_00]: They've almost taken her six games left.
42:00.524 --> 42:05.446
[SPEAKER_01]: And look, players, back, new players, back, new players are fitting in making a difference.
42:05.466 --> 42:06.986
[SPEAKER_01]: Some players are coming back from injury.
42:07.407 --> 42:11.308
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there's things that are now kind of going in our direction.
42:11.708 --> 42:15.770
[SPEAKER_01]: I think what we should do, we haven't done this in a while, is I think we should give score predictions for tonight.
42:17.200 --> 42:18.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm down for sports predictions.
42:18.421 --> 42:20.123
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me just give one last tidbit.
42:20.143 --> 42:25.487
[SPEAKER_00]: So you guys know, it's because it's always cool to see how these teams have matched up in the past, not that always.
42:25.547 --> 42:37.678
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an indicator, but it's good to know, Miami has won the last three meetings between New York City and themselves going back to the 20, 25, semi final and the last six head to heads.
42:38.458 --> 42:40.341
[SPEAKER_00]: Three wins, three draws in zero losses.
42:40.361 --> 42:43.084
[SPEAKER_00]: So they haven't lost in quite a while to NYC FC.
42:43.145 --> 42:46.309
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully they were to to keep that going.
42:46.329 --> 42:48.211
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I'm super down for some predictions.
42:48.231 --> 42:49.232
[SPEAKER_00]: Just go ahead and do it.
42:50.454 --> 42:51.515
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you want me to go first?
42:52.397 --> 42:52.697
[SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead.
42:53.647 --> 42:55.608
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, and are my only wins three to one.
42:56.168 --> 43:13.453
[SPEAKER_01]: I would like us to keep, you know, to try and keep a clean sheet, but I think that doesn't necessarily, you know, it's more like wishful thinking, hopefully, because we are getting a stronger defense and, you know, especially if Ian Fraser is able to start.
43:13.843 --> 43:19.886
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I feel good about Ian Frey, Kassimiro, Mikhail, and Regulon, like, I feel good about that defense.
43:20.106 --> 43:21.546
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's so we'll see.
43:21.887 --> 43:23.607
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I think the goals will continue to come.
43:23.667 --> 43:24.908
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think three to one.
43:26.709 --> 43:26.949
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.
43:27.649 --> 43:28.489
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that three to one.
43:30.470 --> 43:36.233
[SPEAKER_00]: Three to one, just because it's really tough to it's tough for Interman to get a clean sheet.
43:36.253 --> 43:39.875
[SPEAKER_00]: So I can see why you're like, OK, there are at least going to get that one goal.
43:42.365 --> 43:52.416
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go with I really I want messy the score obviously every game just as fun to watch him score, but what I really really want is a bet that I'm in this game.
43:52.476 --> 43:55.159
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's it's so important for bet that I'm in a score.
43:55.339 --> 43:56.401
[SPEAKER_00]: We got me.
43:56.461 --> 43:57.622
[SPEAKER_01]: I want that too.
43:57.642 --> 43:58.523
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be nice too.
43:59.183 --> 44:10.948
[SPEAKER_00]: What I want from Nick, I'd like to see some of this Brazilian Jogavonito type of stuff, you know, I'd like to see maybe do some stepovers, maybe a little, not make something.
44:11.148 --> 44:13.269
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like to see that Brazilian flare come out of them.
44:13.289 --> 44:20.632
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know of this because they name them, Rickelme, so he's maybe doing more Argentina stuff, but we need to see some of that Brazilian flare out of him.
44:20.752 --> 44:24.534
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, look, I'm going to go with a messy go with a verteramengo
44:26.715 --> 44:41.641
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I'm going towards your, your, your score that uh, so I'm going to go, I'm going to go to one, now I'm going to go to one, just to make it a little different, even though I, I am leaning more towards yours, I'm going to go with it's a better day and a messy goal for a to the, let's do two zero.
44:41.681 --> 44:43.582
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to bank on that second.
44:43.662 --> 44:45.683
[SPEAKER_00]: I really want to see that, I think that's that's important.
44:46.303 --> 44:56.966
[SPEAKER_01]: I would rather like I'd be happier with a 2-nil than a 3-1 because I want to see the clean sheet too, but you know we'll wait and see most importantly and remind me we need to win and it needs to feel good.
44:56.986 --> 45:07.508
[SPEAKER_01]: Do the players I think we're seeing in real time the players blending like I said what I've been most impressed with with Galarsa is his ability to blend in with the team so quickly.
45:07.810 --> 45:08.851
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's super important.
45:08.871 --> 45:13.913
[SPEAKER_01]: Mikael and Frey have already blended with the team before their injury and Mikael's injury.
45:13.933 --> 45:17.615
[SPEAKER_01]: He was playing every game, Casimir, I was fit right in.
45:18.496 --> 45:27.180
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I think it's tonight's an important game and remind me half to win and continue the consistency.
45:27.680 --> 45:34.344
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, make sure, like I said, make sure you are following us on Twitter slash X because we will be providing
45:35.278 --> 45:36.519
[SPEAKER_01]: updates during the match.
45:37.320 --> 45:40.663
[SPEAKER_01]: Make sure you're subscribed on YouTube at five reasons football.
45:41.103 --> 45:45.507
[SPEAKER_01]: Like this video, turn the notification bell on, it helps us a lot and subscribe.
45:46.568 --> 45:49.350
[SPEAKER_01]: And as always, thank you, a Philippe goal would be.
45:49.450 --> 45:52.633
[SPEAKER_01]: I honestly, like, recount my scoring would be a slay.
45:52.853 --> 45:53.794
[SPEAKER_01]: So I really want to see that.
45:54.034 --> 45:56.316
[SPEAKER_01]: But there are my two, but I really like to see that.
45:56.376 --> 45:58.198
[SPEAKER_01]: So thank you everyone for watching as always.
45:58.838 --> 46:01.081
[SPEAKER_01]: And participating, it's really great.
46:01.221 --> 46:01.802
[SPEAKER_01]: We enjoy it.
46:01.822 --> 46:03.243
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll be back next week, of course.
46:03.704 --> 46:04.385
[SPEAKER_01]: Talk in our Miami.
46:04.405 --> 46:07.188
[SPEAKER_01]: We're really getting to the business end of the season, exciting things.
46:07.648 --> 46:13.475
[SPEAKER_01]: So for this episode of Messing Ho, I'm Ashley, Vattage, Gian, and we will see you next time.
46:14.356 --> 46:14.837
[SPEAKER_00]: See you guys.
00:29.248 --> 00:33.770
[SPEAKER_01]: Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Messianco.
00:33.970 --> 00:53.700
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm Ashley here as always with my incredible cohost Gian and today we're doing and live episode as usual But we're doing it just around two hours before kickoff of Inter Miami's mid week match against NYC FC, which will get to at the end But doing a Wednesday show not a Monday show Gian how we feeling
00:55.289 --> 00:55.890
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm doing good.
00:56.010 --> 00:56.630
[SPEAKER_00]: Is it Wednesday?
00:56.970 --> 00:58.672
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't know what the days are any.
00:58.812 --> 00:59.452
[SPEAKER_00]: I think so.
00:59.472 --> 01:01.694
[SPEAKER_00]: Just feel like everything's convoluted, but not I'm good.
01:01.714 --> 01:01.994
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good.
01:02.014 --> 01:02.435
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good.
01:02.535 --> 01:02.715
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good.
01:03.756 --> 01:04.436
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm good.
01:04.716 --> 01:07.238
[SPEAKER_00]: I was hanging out at the Grove for a bit.
01:07.278 --> 01:08.759
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why they're local.
01:09.620 --> 01:10.761
[SPEAKER_00]: That's probably my favorite spot.
01:10.781 --> 01:13.623
[SPEAKER_00]: I think in Miami aside from probably like when would.
01:15.585 --> 01:19.468
[SPEAKER_00]: When would, you know, it's like, I know you know what should when would it.
01:20.844 --> 01:23.806
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually should let you know when I'm in the areas the next time.
01:23.826 --> 01:27.188
[SPEAKER_00]: So I typically go to winward when it's during the day.
01:27.549 --> 01:37.095
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, let's see, I'll go on a Saturday and I'll go maybe around 11, 12, one, two, and I've got my stops that I go like I go and I eat at the taco stand.
01:37.596 --> 01:38.636
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know if you know where that is.
01:38.876 --> 01:40.037
[SPEAKER_00]: It's my favorite taco spot.
01:40.077 --> 01:40.798
[SPEAKER_01]: Oh, yeah.
01:40.858 --> 01:41.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
01:41.780 --> 01:52.970
[SPEAKER_00]: talk it was called taco stand I go there and then there's a place right next to it where there's like a coffee shop and it's got really cool classic cars so I have coffee with it and I jump over the street over to billionaire boys club.
01:53.808 --> 01:56.289
[SPEAKER_00]: and I hang out there for a bit like a close and things like that.
01:56.329 --> 02:03.891
[SPEAKER_00]: So I've got like my stops, but at night, you won't catch me and when would, like, we can go, I can meet you for breakfast or brunch.
02:03.951 --> 02:04.652
[SPEAKER_01]: We'd love to.
02:04.712 --> 02:06.192
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm super, I'm super down for that.
02:06.232 --> 02:07.052
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm super down for that.
02:07.072 --> 02:11.874
[SPEAKER_01]: Because when we get places here, like really yummy breakfast places that you can eat.
02:11.894 --> 02:13.134
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, you gotta let me know for sure.
02:13.195 --> 02:13.735
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm super down.
02:13.755 --> 02:16.396
[SPEAKER_00]: Joe's pizza, I freaking love and winward.
02:16.436 --> 02:17.236
[SPEAKER_00]: It's amazing.
02:17.656 --> 02:20.057
[SPEAKER_00]: And the red across the street from Joe's pizza is classic football
02:20.737 --> 02:29.122
[SPEAKER_00]: So if you're like, yes, I always walk in there and I look at jerseys and stuff like that and if you ever been to the grail, the sports bar, like to watch.
02:29.162 --> 02:30.103
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I've been there.
02:30.623 --> 02:31.264
[SPEAKER_01]: Super cool.
02:31.644 --> 02:32.184
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, it's cool.
02:32.204 --> 02:34.806
[SPEAKER_00]: Especially if you're sneakerhead, you get to go in there and then, um,
02:35.577 --> 02:47.244
[SPEAKER_00]: They bought all the coolest sneakers and stuff, but like I was telling you, at night, when we're to me is like the purge, like the movie, the purge, like I just like this, like barrels on fire and people out there like doing weird things.
02:47.264 --> 02:53.768
[SPEAKER_01]: It gets, yeah, my apartment's pretty loud on Friday and Saturday and it's like I can just hear it and I'm like, well, yeah, Anna, thank you.
02:53.808 --> 02:56.429
[SPEAKER_01]: I forget you, Gian, Anna, let's go to breakfast.
02:56.550 --> 03:00.512
[SPEAKER_01]: You can do what you want, Gian, um, totally totally love that.
03:00.532 --> 03:00.932
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, cool.
03:00.952 --> 03:01.492
[SPEAKER_01]: All right.
03:01.532 --> 03:01.893
[SPEAKER_01]: Well.
03:03.556 --> 03:05.117
[SPEAKER_01]: There is a lot to talk about today.
03:05.617 --> 03:07.318
[SPEAKER_01]: I know it's a little earlier than normal.
03:07.658 --> 03:09.258
[SPEAKER_01]: What's up, Ash has a go in.
03:10.499 --> 03:12.400
[SPEAKER_01]: But a couple of reasons why I did that.
03:12.420 --> 03:27.827
[SPEAKER_01]: We thought it would be nice after Saturday's performance, to also kind of preview tonight's match, which is going to be, I don't want to say equally as important, but I think it'll be important to see if we can see some consistency, because we'll start with that.
03:31.408 --> 03:46.815
[SPEAKER_01]: with the dominating performance this past Saturday, a 4-0 win against DC United, a big home win that from minute one to minute 90, you know, it felt like Inter Miami weren't complete control, obviously the clean sheet.
03:47.335 --> 03:57.842
[SPEAKER_01]: obviously messy goals, swara's goals, at the end, them going to clap for the fans, you know, the vibes were high, and it's exactly what the team needed.
03:59.504 --> 04:11.812
[SPEAKER_01]: Needed desperately, and yeah, I mean, just to side note, I know that, you know, Nashville has been great, and then there have been a lot of really great individual performances across MLS this year.
04:12.312 --> 04:30.720
[SPEAKER_01]: And we still have time, but I just don't see a world where you can give that MVP to anyone but messy like it's just like it's crazy work what he's doing and after the emotional I'll say it's somewhat odd farewell in Argentina with the drone show we're not going to go and see
04:30.740 --> 04:50.160
[SPEAKER_01]: We did we talk about that because I really want I would love to talk about that did we talk about it We didn't talk about it yet, but I was gonna say we don't have to do a whole like I was gonna say after you can you could touch on it now as to say just after like what those emotions And everything wasn't sure what we were gonna see on Saturday and what we saw was Someone who looks just ready to ball.
04:50.420 --> 04:52.282
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say that and ball he did
04:54.341 --> 04:55.462
[SPEAKER_00]: So yeah, that Argentina thing.
04:55.502 --> 05:15.071
[SPEAKER_00]: I actually think it's I expected more from that entire moment like and but I've had I've honestly had time to digest it and think about it a little more so yeah so what I'll say is this I initially thought it was weird that they didn't take them off of the field for like a standing ovation
05:15.711 --> 05:34.062
[SPEAKER_00]: As we've seen other players do like even for even for Lyondoski in Balsa like they did and he wasn't nearly as long as Messi was at with Argentina team He wasn't nearly as long as with Balsa but the sending off honestly was like very emotional he walked off at that you know
05:34.500 --> 05:37.242
[SPEAKER_00]: and everybody's clapping and he's crying, talking my live on those key.
05:37.742 --> 05:40.984
[SPEAKER_00]: At Balsas, so I'm like, okay, they're going to do that for Messier with Argentina.
05:41.705 --> 05:42.766
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought so too.
05:42.786 --> 05:45.007
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think a lot of people probably thought that.
05:45.647 --> 05:52.672
[SPEAKER_00]: And I thought it was a missed opportunity, but after I was thinking about it in the days after, and now it's just not who he is.
05:52.692 --> 05:54.373
[SPEAKER_00]: It's like, that's not who he is, exactly.
05:54.393 --> 05:57.495
[SPEAKER_00]: He probably, he probably told them, like, don't take me off.
05:57.595 --> 06:01.118
[SPEAKER_00]: Because even, even, you look at this game with a four-zero game.
06:02.275 --> 06:05.301
[SPEAKER_00]: that they just played um he didn't come off for that either.
06:05.341 --> 06:06.022
[SPEAKER_01]: It's just crazy.
06:06.042 --> 06:06.884
[SPEAKER_01]: He didn't come off earlier.
06:06.964 --> 06:07.906
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't see you nighted.
06:07.986 --> 06:09.168
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm like that's the same thing.
06:09.188 --> 06:10.792
[SPEAKER_00]: Maybe that's the greatest legacy.
06:10.812 --> 06:13.396
[SPEAKER_01]: You know the greatest way to end it is by how he does it.
06:14.239 --> 06:14.799
[SPEAKER_00]: exactly.
06:14.960 --> 06:21.984
[SPEAKER_00]: And knowing him as well, the fact that he isn't somebody that likes to spotlight on him, that would have probably been kind of a bit uncomfortable for him.
06:22.485 --> 06:29.669
[SPEAKER_00]: But I will say for any uncomfortableity that they avoided by having them walk off and be say to the speed up.
06:29.750 --> 06:36.334
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, everything after which is absolutely nullified any sense of comfortability that
06:42.858 --> 06:48.481
[SPEAKER_00]: He was about to like he was this close to bawling But then he pulled it back.
06:48.822 --> 07:07.432
[SPEAKER_00]: He pulled it back because of this drone show that starts off with a huge insurance company Advertisement and obviously AFA like they're going to look any any way that they can make money It's it's not for nothing that that that that that Yeah, he's got these things going on around him and these investment investigations and things like that, but
07:08.132 --> 07:12.475
[SPEAKER_00]: He was like, he's looking at it and he's probably like, wanting like, what the heck is this?
07:12.555 --> 07:14.977
[SPEAKER_00]: All these weird things that they're doing and then he starts.
07:15.297 --> 07:19.880
[SPEAKER_00]: If you look at the camera, like the camera focused on him and he was at times like laughing.
07:19.960 --> 07:24.864
[SPEAKER_00]: He wasn't even like crying, he was laughing of what was going on and then they serenade him.
07:25.164 --> 07:32.429
[SPEAKER_00]: Like if talk about even more like too much attention on him, he must have felt so uncomfortable.
07:34.372 --> 07:38.616
[SPEAKER_00]: Anyways, like the what's important is that he got to experience the last game.
07:38.956 --> 07:51.889
[SPEAKER_00]: The crowd was there and they got to experience it despite what I would call from the Argentine Federation, what I would call a complete like botch of what should have been an amazing night.
07:52.009 --> 07:55.252
[SPEAKER_00]: But nonetheless, at least the crowd got to enjoy it and Messi got to enjoy it.
07:55.710 --> 07:59.871
[SPEAKER_01]: Any game at the end he even said it like this is the most I've talked in 20 years.
07:59.911 --> 08:16.057
[SPEAKER_01]: He just was talking and talking He said that I was laughing I think he was just such relief like I think that felt relief and completion on his side and that you know like in the beginning during the anthem He was choking up and I think just it's really that like
08:16.977 --> 08:20.658
[SPEAKER_01]: Not necessarily his football career is done, but like he is done with Argentina.
08:20.698 --> 08:22.539
[SPEAKER_01]: And I think there's such relief there.
08:22.559 --> 08:24.699
[SPEAKER_01]: So he was just like, he was just shooting the shit.
08:24.719 --> 08:27.520
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, just kind of just don't get it on the internet.
08:27.900 --> 08:35.222
[SPEAKER_00]: And look, Argentina should send Benina Jersey, because from what I've understood, they didn't even pay Benina to show them.
08:35.242 --> 08:36.542
[SPEAKER_01]: But where's he to enjoy it?
08:36.582 --> 08:40.743
[SPEAKER_01]: And they all got their moment with Messi after, but so anyways, it was certainly interesting.
08:40.763 --> 08:41.524
[SPEAKER_01]: But then he come down.
08:41.544 --> 08:42.924
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought it was more more
08:46.642 --> 08:47.250
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
08:47.270 --> 08:47.594
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
08:48.768 --> 08:58.310
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, maybe so it's just maybe he was just funny and emotional and we just never did honestly it was like I think that it was messy's worst nightmare.
08:58.330 --> 09:16.154
[SPEAKER_00]: What happened that night not only is he it was his last game with Argentina Which is probably a nightmare and of itself that he's had many times But the fact that all eyes were on him and there's a drone show and there's a serenading him and I think it was just it was quite the interesting night It was interesting.
09:16.354 --> 09:17.054
[SPEAKER_01]: It was interesting
09:18.748 --> 09:28.491
[SPEAKER_01]: But then look, we come to Saturday night and from an inner Miami standpoint, you know, the thoughts were after a tough or really tough stretch that inner Miami needed to win.
09:29.371 --> 09:38.013
[SPEAKER_01]: And not only do they do that, they won by a lot, everyone was involved even though Yannick Wright still recovering from his injury, hopefully that doesn't leak into the playoffs.
09:38.653 --> 09:45.075
[SPEAKER_01]: But, you know, starting to get other players healthy and back you had regular on playing, you had a week I'll playing.
09:45.861 --> 09:50.503
[SPEAKER_01]: And also, I think the clean sheet makes a huge difference.
09:50.603 --> 09:52.524
[SPEAKER_01]: Dancing Claire was back.
09:52.924 --> 09:55.685
[SPEAKER_01]: The communication seemed pretty good defensively.
09:56.305 --> 09:59.026
[SPEAKER_01]: And there's just a lot of positives taken from that night.
10:00.167 --> 10:03.748
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I mean, it was the first time in a while.
10:03.968 --> 10:07.270
[SPEAKER_01]: I really enjoyed every second of watching that in my match.
10:07.790 --> 10:12.131
[SPEAKER_01]: I was like, this performance is what we should be seeing every single time.
10:12.511 --> 10:13.511
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a great way of playing it.
10:13.551 --> 10:14.231
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe not the result.
10:14.251 --> 10:20.012
[SPEAKER_01]: You're never going to get four zero when every single time, but the effort, the level of play should be there.
10:22.593 --> 10:28.674
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, I hate to be the bear of bad news, but I will say, I'm worried that that four zero worries me.
10:28.694 --> 10:29.714
[SPEAKER_00]: And I'll explain to you why.
10:31.514 --> 10:34.075
[SPEAKER_00]: In August, we were on a five game losing streak.
10:34.787 --> 10:39.290
[SPEAKER_00]: that was broken up by a seven one routing of Montreal.
10:40.090 --> 10:46.294
[SPEAKER_00]: Then after that, we went on another five game losing streak if you don't count the computer and it's cut friendly.
10:47.355 --> 10:48.896
[SPEAKER_01]: And which I do more than anything.
10:50.257 --> 10:51.177
[SPEAKER_00]: Of course.
10:51.778 --> 10:58.522
[SPEAKER_00]: And then how do we break that five game winless streak with another routing, a forza routing against this United?
10:58.742 --> 10:59.883
[SPEAKER_00]: So what does that mean for us tonight?
10:59.963 --> 11:03.265
[SPEAKER_00]: Are we, I mean, are we going into another?
11:03.917 --> 11:07.742
[SPEAKER_00]: five game win this week or our things going to turn for us.
11:08.363 --> 11:12.188
[SPEAKER_00]: Finally, and we will we will back up a win with another win.
11:12.528 --> 11:14.231
[SPEAKER_00]: I hope it's that way, but I'm just looking at it.
11:14.852 --> 11:15.753
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at the numbers.
11:15.933 --> 11:18.596
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm looking at the history here and you know, there's
11:20.023 --> 11:47.907
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a pattern here, and I just hope that into Miami once they come out and you know, they have these Statement games that mentally they're able to kind of like stay stay in that mindset and not like let go of the the gas right and and say okay You know, we had this amazing game we scored and then the next game is just like oh, I want you know, and so I'm Look at this game for zero messy score two goals
11:48.905 --> 11:50.488
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just on fire.
11:51.229 --> 11:53.773
[SPEAKER_00]: Luis Suadis scored two goals.
11:54.555 --> 11:59.223
[SPEAKER_00]: And we're going to talk about it in a moment as far as the actual,
12:00.288 --> 12:12.635
[SPEAKER_00]: the attack and and how we can do go moving forward, but I just think that it was great to see this team finally under under Kili Gonzalez get their first is this their first win right I believe under Kili Gonzalez not coming back.
12:12.755 --> 12:20.619
[SPEAKER_00]: Well not, yeah, not counting computer and his cup, but in Lee play this is their their first win so it's got a feel good I think for them as a team.
12:21.219 --> 12:29.705
[SPEAKER_00]: as as kind of a way for them to feel united and finally feel like maybe this is the beginning of the the ki-li era for them.
12:30.185 --> 12:30.945
[SPEAKER_01]: Right.
12:31.386 --> 12:36.289
[SPEAKER_01]: I agree and look at what I liked also was, you know, Yannick Bright is a huge.
12:36.849 --> 12:37.569
[SPEAKER_01]: part of the team.
12:37.629 --> 12:41.972
[SPEAKER_01]: And like I said, not having him is much worse than than having him.
12:42.372 --> 12:46.094
[SPEAKER_01]: But what I did like is I really liked Gunnar stuff.
12:46.354 --> 12:51.977
[SPEAKER_01]: I really like what I've been seeing from him, the energy, the the ways playing the ways trying to fit in.
12:52.037 --> 12:52.557
[SPEAKER_01]: I like that.
12:52.837 --> 12:55.859
[SPEAKER_01]: We got a few more minutes out of Rekelme, which I liked as well.
12:56.779 --> 12:57.960
[SPEAKER_01]: We're going to get into it in a second.
12:57.980 --> 13:00.701
[SPEAKER_01]: The attack is something that
13:05.517 --> 13:25.240
[SPEAKER_01]: streamline like inner Miami really pressing forward because you're feeling more balanced elsewhere and you feel people making runs, et cetera, super happy to have me guy all back as one of the setterbacks makes a huge, huge difference in my opinion like, you know, let me give you a line of why you keep talking about it because just people know what you're saying.
13:25.260 --> 13:31.581
[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, no, no, the lineup against the DC United since you're talking about the players, just so people can
13:35.913 --> 13:36.574
[SPEAKER_00]: back on the bench.
13:36.594 --> 13:39.055
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's been been doing pretty good.
13:39.115 --> 13:41.836
[SPEAKER_00]: He was highly really stable.
13:41.936 --> 13:42.237
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes.
13:43.017 --> 13:49.240
[SPEAKER_00]: So we are really low on the left side, which is good to see him on the pitch after healthy and more.
13:49.281 --> 13:50.381
[SPEAKER_00]: Because he's very valuable.
13:50.401 --> 13:51.282
[SPEAKER_01]: What he's available.
13:52.222 --> 14:00.066
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I mean, he's no Georgia, but no who else is, but at the same time, I think he at times can fill in that role and do good, especially on attack.
14:00.106 --> 14:00.967
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he can help out.
14:01.416 --> 14:05.277
[SPEAKER_00]: Micheal and Casimiro, Casimiro continues to slot in at that center back.
14:05.297 --> 14:06.318
[SPEAKER_00]: It's a great part of it.
14:07.278 --> 14:13.300
[SPEAKER_00]: Which for me, I'm just, you know, I'm surprised that oils never did that.
14:13.460 --> 14:23.303
[SPEAKER_00]: I thought we've said this on plenty of podcasts that I thought and I think we probably agree that there was a chance that Casimiro could be a center back because of his ability to play that position.
14:23.503 --> 14:27.565
[SPEAKER_00]: He's shown that he can play very well in the fact that it's a position that we needed
14:28.653 --> 14:31.636
[SPEAKER_00]: hierarchy and we have hierarchy and every I think in every line, right?
14:31.716 --> 14:33.418
[SPEAKER_00]: You have the bull in the midfield.
14:33.438 --> 14:35.220
[SPEAKER_00]: You've got messy front.
14:35.280 --> 14:41.986
[SPEAKER_00]: You needed that hierarchy or rather that that all star player in that background could lost your the other one.
14:42.026 --> 14:43.848
[SPEAKER_00]: That was that was the experience in the background.
14:43.868 --> 14:47.592
[SPEAKER_00]: So you have that pairing of me, Gailin Casimiro and the Luhan on the right.
14:47.732 --> 14:52.957
[SPEAKER_00]: Obviously, you don't have Ian Frey and I think Ian Frey is available for tonight.
14:54.297 --> 14:54.557
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay.
14:54.577 --> 14:55.198
[SPEAKER_00]: That'd be good.
14:55.538 --> 14:57.720
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see how that how that turns out.
14:58.020 --> 14:59.441
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, right.
14:59.461 --> 15:00.862
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, Ian free play.
15:00.882 --> 15:01.943
[SPEAKER_00]: He came in a minute, 78.
15:02.083 --> 15:03.044
[SPEAKER_00]: He didn't start.
15:03.524 --> 15:03.704
[SPEAKER_00]: Right.
15:03.744 --> 15:04.585
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's united.
15:05.586 --> 15:07.147
[SPEAKER_01]: And he's available.
15:07.167 --> 15:07.607
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see.
15:07.647 --> 15:10.369
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, but maybe they'll stick with the hot hand of Wuhan.
15:10.389 --> 15:10.750
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll see.
15:10.990 --> 15:12.191
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, obviously in a perfect world.
15:12.211 --> 15:13.552
[SPEAKER_01]: It would be Ian fry.
15:13.592 --> 15:13.792
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay.
15:13.812 --> 15:14.573
[SPEAKER_01]: And then the midfield.
15:14.633 --> 15:17.795
[SPEAKER_00]: And then, midfield Yargalarsa Ayala and the Paul.
15:17.815 --> 15:18.395
[SPEAKER_00]: So obviously,
15:21.103 --> 15:28.250
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, so you have Ayyala there where Yarnick would play, but the interesting thing is somebody seems to have lost their spot.
15:29.231 --> 15:32.494
[SPEAKER_00]: And this means her Miami team and then that is the lasco segovia.
15:32.634 --> 15:36.959
[SPEAKER_00]: So govia, um, look, but he was also on your national duty.
15:36.999 --> 15:39.041
[SPEAKER_01]: He was hurt and then he was within as well.
15:39.121 --> 15:42.404
[SPEAKER_01]: So I'm curious to see if he comes back or not.
15:42.905 --> 15:44.786
[SPEAKER_00]: Do you think they may be working on back slowly?
15:44.966 --> 15:49.547
[SPEAKER_01]: Is that kind of what you're trying to... Maybe, well, I mean, maybe, maybe, I don't know.
15:49.747 --> 15:52.188
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know, and I've said it before, too, too.
15:52.228 --> 16:03.291
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, I don't know if, like, obviously, it would be bright over Ayala, but in terms of like, what I've been seeing at a Galarsa, I think,
16:04.331 --> 16:09.814
[SPEAKER_01]: If Sagovia, if he's not hot in a game, then I don't think he brings enough value for what's needed.
16:10.494 --> 16:20.059
[SPEAKER_01]: And the consistency or the energy I'm seeing from God RSS so far, I think has been working while where you feel the true, like,
16:20.799 --> 16:25.844
[SPEAKER_01]: the feeding of into your front-threat, right, of birth that I made as far as and messy.
16:25.864 --> 16:28.747
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, to me, it seems better.
16:28.887 --> 16:41.218
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know for sure, but yeah, I think Sagovia has some great moments, but also just not enough consistency and when he's not hot and he's not shooting and scoring, he doesn't bring the other element of what you need from a midfield or, you know?
16:42.379 --> 16:46.323
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that makes sense and it'll be interesting to see if
16:47.694 --> 17:04.966
[SPEAKER_00]: Possibly your theory may be correct at it, you know, it's not necessarily that he lost it, but the fact that maybe he maybe he he's experimenting to see what works best, especially up front when I think you don't have a better than I may that is doing too well right now, so you kind of need that it's born and open there.
17:04.986 --> 17:16.133
[SPEAKER_01]: Or the fact that he's working on back you got what he got close, so he two of his shots got really close on Saturday where I thought they were confident shots, and that's what yeah.
17:16.273 --> 17:19.536
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, scaring me previously was there was like no confidence when he shot it.
17:19.616 --> 17:22.698
[SPEAKER_01]: These last two ones like those were like striker shots.
17:22.738 --> 17:23.378
[SPEAKER_01]: Do you know what I mean?
17:23.599 --> 17:25.820
[SPEAKER_01]: And so hopefully he'll start getting them in.
17:27.141 --> 17:28.402
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, no 100 percent.
17:28.422 --> 17:29.803
[SPEAKER_01]: We said that last year about I end there.
17:29.823 --> 17:33.306
[SPEAKER_01]: Remember there was a lot a stretch where like he couldn't score in an ocean.
17:33.606 --> 17:35.588
[SPEAKER_01]: But then it was the leading score in the playoffs.
17:35.628 --> 17:37.329
[SPEAKER_01]: Like it could happen.
17:38.859 --> 17:39.720
[SPEAKER_00]: I definitely can't happen.
17:39.740 --> 17:43.742
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I think about last year that I didn't kind of peaked at the right time.
17:44.062 --> 17:44.442
[SPEAKER_01]: Right time.
17:44.462 --> 17:45.363
[SPEAKER_00]: Really at the perfect timing.
17:45.843 --> 17:50.806
[SPEAKER_00]: You got to think about if that I didn't have that boost in performance at the end of the season.
17:51.166 --> 17:53.068
[SPEAKER_00]: We may not have been a molest cup champ.
17:53.088 --> 17:53.628
[SPEAKER_00]: So like it was.
17:54.908 --> 18:09.331
[SPEAKER_00]: He broke the record, so he's obviously messy is the biggest, or the biggest influence on the fact that we won, but that I didn't do, I mean, was huge, like huge in our run.
18:09.391 --> 18:14.032
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully, that's the bit that I'm in a story that it mirrors that I didn't do.
18:14.452 --> 18:21.153
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, well, and so let's talk about the attack, because we've been hinting at it when going over this past game, you know,
18:21.673 --> 18:26.557
[SPEAKER_01]: Messie has 11 goals in nine games, Swara's three goals and three.
18:26.897 --> 18:29.820
[SPEAKER_01]: Like we said, Bert, there I'm it feels like it's getting closer and closer.
18:30.200 --> 18:31.822
[SPEAKER_01]: Hopefully we got that switch.
18:31.842 --> 18:34.324
[SPEAKER_01]: And I'm just, I was looking at just stats for the season.
18:34.344 --> 18:37.486
[SPEAKER_01]: And Messie right now has 23 goals and 13 assists.
18:39.468 --> 18:45.571
[SPEAKER_01]: which is just like crazy, but Louis Swara's 15 goals and seven assists.
18:45.731 --> 18:50.333
[SPEAKER_01]: So 23 gold contributions, like that's that's really nothing to knock your head at.
18:50.813 --> 19:00.977
[SPEAKER_01]: Roger, go to Paul 13 assists, like, you know, it's there there's some movement there and and more most importantly, though, is is like the jelling of that together.
19:01.137 --> 19:02.938
[SPEAKER_01]: And so, you know, to your point,
19:03.478 --> 19:19.212
[SPEAKER_01]: I think Suarez, like, it was an excellent game he had and if he can keep up sort of being that person where he doesn't get many chances, but if he gets it, he scores it, you know, that's what we can ask for because Messi will continue to create for himself and for others.
19:19.592 --> 19:21.734
[SPEAKER_01]: He will continue to continue to continue that.
19:21.834 --> 19:22.535
[SPEAKER_01]: I will never stop.
19:22.875 --> 19:29.220
[SPEAKER_01]: If Suarez takes the chances and keeps, you know, get gets them in, then we're looking at something good, right?
19:29.320 --> 19:30.922
[SPEAKER_01]: And we can keep that consistency.
19:32.728 --> 19:43.131
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, while you were doing what you were saying that I was trying to, I agree with you said and I'm trying to find like the MLS goal scoring leaders to see, I want to see, I wanted to see where.
19:43.151 --> 19:43.931
[SPEAKER_01]: I wanted to see where.
19:43.971 --> 19:44.711
[SPEAKER_01]: I actually probably see.
19:44.731 --> 19:45.891
[SPEAKER_00]: Yes, if you, you can look it up.
19:45.911 --> 19:47.352
[SPEAKER_00]: I wanted to see where Swada stands.
19:47.432 --> 19:49.432
[SPEAKER_00]: It's funny that I landed on something else.
19:49.472 --> 19:51.133
[SPEAKER_00]: Some other stats that I wasn't looking for.
19:51.853 --> 19:54.494
[SPEAKER_00]: And guess who has the most left-footed shots.
19:55.194 --> 19:55.794
[SPEAKER_00]: In that moment.
19:57.294 --> 19:57.755
[SPEAKER_01]: Massy.
19:58.595 --> 19:58.835
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
19:59.925 --> 20:03.208
[SPEAKER_00]: Okay, protection is that left left for the shots.
20:03.268 --> 20:16.040
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean me wonder if I could there be somebody else Right for the let's see right for the shots That's actually hilarious.
20:16.100 --> 20:18.582
[SPEAKER_00]: You know that they don't have a stat for right for the shots.
20:18.602 --> 20:21.385
[SPEAKER_00]: They only make this stat to get messy another
20:22.242 --> 20:43.831
[SPEAKER_00]: lead in a stat it's there's no right for the shots left for the shots little messy 136 with uh and there's drier at 78 and martino hit at 64 I mean he you find it yep okay uh where's yeah yeah go ahead or do you want to ask question first well no I was gonna ask you where least what is this but you you can go ahead and just just yeah so messy's one
20:51.560 --> 20:59.984
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, but, but, but Ty actually like, but, but Ty for seven, technically like he's 12 on this list, he's that he's tied for 7.
21:00.905 --> 21:01.885
[SPEAKER_01]: He has 15 goals.
21:02.426 --> 21:04.807
[SPEAKER_01]: So, like there's multiple people who have 15 goals.
21:04.847 --> 21:06.948
[SPEAKER_01]: He's tied for 7 is a better way of saying it.
21:06.968 --> 21:07.468
[SPEAKER_00]: He's tied for 7.
21:07.568 --> 21:08.289
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, yeah.
21:08.949 --> 21:11.851
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and Messy is second in assist.
21:11.911 --> 21:14.412
[SPEAKER_01]: So, number one goals were second in assist.
21:15.052 --> 21:28.200
[SPEAKER_01]: God, it's only tried, you know, and then the other, you know, you have Musa from FC Dallas, you have Nielani Loski from Union, Brian White from Whitecaps.
21:28.481 --> 21:35.625
[SPEAKER_01]: Same surage, only 16 goals, which actually surprises me from Nashville with how well they're doing, and honey moved our only 14 goals.
21:35.765 --> 21:37.826
[SPEAKER_01]: Maybe they're just really operating as a whole unit.
21:39.730 --> 21:47.999
[SPEAKER_01]: But yeah, it's a Rodrigo de Paul is also ranked second, both him and Messi both have 13 assists.
21:48.499 --> 21:49.400
[SPEAKER_01]: So, you know.
21:49.700 --> 22:00.391
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, I wanted you to look that up because I guess what I was trying to get it is that it's honestly like a blessing for this team that Luis Suarez,
22:01.440 --> 22:11.342
[SPEAKER_00]: is being able to perform at such a high level at his age and not someone that was even expected to be a starter this season.
22:12.043 --> 22:23.105
[SPEAKER_00]: And was brought on simply because probably was brought on for another season, probably more for the next year to ride the bench with more than anything for his leadership on this team.
22:23.305 --> 22:27.646
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that you want to have a quality striker that you can bring in for
22:30.392 --> 22:57.204
[SPEAKER_00]: come in and work and have a lot of starts and a lot of minutes because of injuries and that he's able to be seventh in scoring tied for seventh in this league and have that many assists because what's the total goal contributions got 50 goals in how many assists 22 22 goal contributions for a guy that wasn't even supposed to be starting this season it's huge for Inter Miami again you don't have to do it in the you don't have silvetti
22:59.602 --> 23:03.266
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, it's like also had up and down to get the caution, et cetera.
23:03.426 --> 23:15.280
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, he basically doesn't, it doesn't really do much on the look, you know, I, I still think though I don't want to tear him down and I want to see that he's still, I think at times finds a way to have an impact on their game.
23:15.617 --> 23:33.788
[SPEAKER_00]: this last game against the scenario he did have to assist so even though he didn't score but you really like millimetres off like where he really was close but hopefully that's him inching closer and closer to finally getting that goal because we've talked about this many times that especially when we were talking about the other day in the last season
23:34.188 --> 23:42.134
[SPEAKER_00]: You just at times you need just that one goal to go in as a ghost or as a number, you know, as an attacker and that kind of opens everything for you.
23:42.535 --> 23:54.364
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully that's just him inch and closer and until he figures that out, you know, if he can at least assist, but you're going to need more from him, especially going into the, into the postseason.
23:54.905 --> 23:56.126
[SPEAKER_00]: I think he hasn't scored.
23:56.913 --> 24:00.395
[SPEAKER_00]: since me, bet it on it, if I'm not mistaken.
24:00.676 --> 24:04.558
[SPEAKER_00]: You're talking about how many games, probably more than 10 games, where he has magical.
24:05.379 --> 24:07.540
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, that, I mean, that's huge, how are you?
24:08.381 --> 24:09.602
[SPEAKER_01]: Well, there is a world cup break.
24:09.622 --> 24:11.303
[SPEAKER_01]: That's why there is a world cup break, yeah.
24:13.888 --> 24:22.031
[SPEAKER_00]: Look, I'm going to look and see when there's the last time he scored, but it's been, it's been that long for Bertha and I'm it's it's crazy.
24:22.071 --> 24:31.334
[SPEAKER_00]: And the fact that Inter Miami has been able to survive without the guy literally a guy that they invested so much money on to bring it and not scores is crazy.
24:31.354 --> 24:31.694
[SPEAKER_00]: He's got,
24:41.537 --> 24:42.780
[SPEAKER_00]: Wow, I'm going to have to go down.
24:42.800 --> 24:46.427
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I'm still scrolling and I still don't see a goal.
24:47.409 --> 24:49.272
[SPEAKER_00]: You're talking about the last time he's go here we go.
24:49.293 --> 24:52.799
[SPEAKER_00]: He scored two goals made 24th against the union.
24:53.558 --> 25:07.434
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the last time he scored and since then since scoring against the union he's played 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, around 15 or 16 games without scoring on goal for Inter Miami.
25:08.235 --> 25:10.817
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, you really need something for him.
25:11.198 --> 25:12.920
[SPEAKER_00]: I just don't see this team winning.
25:14.366 --> 25:17.407
[SPEAKER_00]: And well, that's up without better than I'm giving them something.
25:17.447 --> 25:24.130
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm not telling you it has to be 100% turn around where he's scoring 10 goals in the postseason, but he's got to give you something.
25:24.170 --> 25:27.271
[SPEAKER_00]: And it's going to be really hard without without it.
25:27.291 --> 25:27.932
[SPEAKER_01]: Great.
25:27.992 --> 25:33.814
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, and I think Francisco, it's true that it feels like Miami may have got the wrong type of striker.
25:33.954 --> 25:37.836
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's been a weird season for him overall, hopefully turns around.
25:37.916 --> 25:40.617
[SPEAKER_01]: If not, I think there will have to be some movement because.
25:41.298 --> 25:44.539
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, Swar is obviously the legs can't keep going.
25:45.260 --> 25:47.281
[SPEAKER_01]: You will have to lay on the back next year.
25:47.301 --> 25:47.981
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see.
25:48.301 --> 25:57.906
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, but you know, the issue is that you said that Ash, I, I like that you said that, um, that even though Louis Swar is a scoring, it's about his legs.
25:57.946 --> 26:01.787
[SPEAKER_00]: And what you mean by that is, it's, it's about his, uh, his fitness.
26:02.087 --> 26:07.750
[SPEAKER_00]: Not, not, well, not only his, his fitness, but the fact that obviously he's aging and he can't run as much.
26:08.639 --> 26:37.473
[SPEAKER_00]: And we tend to think about that from the offensive perspective right the attack because you see him I mean at times it literally looks like his knees just going to fall off the Mr. potato head like it's just it's that bad, but but one of the things that we have to I was looking right now at the stats and one of the stats I saw in to Miami has the most goals in a molest I think they have like 68 right now so they're not having an issue scoring but where does where does the lack of fitness.
26:39.665 --> 26:41.846
[SPEAKER_00]: hurt you from a Luis Suarez.
26:41.886 --> 26:42.626
[SPEAKER_00]: It's on defense.
26:43.166 --> 26:50.849
[SPEAKER_00]: It's on defense because not only do you have Messi who doesn't help much on defense and it's part that's that's also tactical.
26:51.329 --> 26:53.870
[SPEAKER_00]: It's him you know that Messi likes to walk.
26:54.330 --> 26:56.971
[SPEAKER_00]: Messi scans the field left and right.
26:57.191 --> 26:59.211
[SPEAKER_00]: That's even advice that he's given some of the younger guys.
26:59.231 --> 27:00.752
[SPEAKER_00]: They've said it in press conferences.
27:01.092 --> 27:01.852
[SPEAKER_00]: What's an advice that
27:08.079 --> 27:27.612
[SPEAKER_00]: So his job is to stay up, but that I'm it helps on defense, but when you have two guys that don't help much on defense to talk messy and sweaters, that's one of the reasons why into Miami also allows so many goals and even though they score more than any team in an MLS, that means they're not winning much because of that they give up too many goals.
27:27.652 --> 27:31.215
[SPEAKER_00]: So, I mean, I, I just think that you, if,
27:32.153 --> 27:41.905
[SPEAKER_00]: If you have a, if you have a bit that I'm in that scoring, then that allows you to maybe give a regal man a chance to, to, you know, put him more out, why regal and more in the middle of X Luis Suarez.
27:42.226 --> 27:49.434
[SPEAKER_00]: And then the Suarez can be on the bench, there you go, Felipe, Suarez, Messi and then Felipe can help you on defense.
27:49.695 --> 27:50.316
[SPEAKER_00]: It'll be huge.
27:50.656 --> 27:51.616
[SPEAKER_00]: I like what I often recommend those minutes.
27:51.636 --> 27:52.857
[SPEAKER_01]: And I mean, yeah, like I said, I'll say, I'll say it once.
27:52.877 --> 27:53.317
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it twice.
27:53.377 --> 27:54.057
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it in a million times.
27:54.077 --> 27:55.077
[SPEAKER_01]: Brazilian Recall may offense winning attack.
27:55.097 --> 27:55.457
[SPEAKER_01]: Yes, it will work.
27:55.477 --> 27:55.917
[SPEAKER_01]: I'm sure of it.
27:55.937 --> 27:56.278
[SPEAKER_01]: So I agree.
27:56.338 --> 27:57.118
[SPEAKER_01]: What we'll see in and I'll say it once.
27:57.138 --> 27:57.578
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
27:57.598 --> 27:58.078
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
27:58.098 --> 27:58.578
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
27:58.598 --> 27:58.938
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
27:58.958 --> 27:59.318
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
27:59.338 --> 27:59.879
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
27:59.899 --> 28:00.319
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:00.359 --> 28:00.759
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:00.799 --> 28:01.179
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:01.199 --> 28:01.619
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:01.679 --> 28:02.099
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:02.119 --> 28:02.979
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:02.999 --> 28:03.360
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:03.640 --> 28:04.020
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:04.040 --> 28:04.440
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:04.460 --> 28:04.880
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:04.900 --> 28:05.240
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:05.260 --> 28:05.620
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:05.640 --> 28:06.160
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:06.180 --> 28:06.621
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:06.641 --> 28:07.041
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:07.061 --> 28:07.401
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:07.501 --> 28:07.901
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once.
28:07.921 --> 28:08.301
[SPEAKER_01]: I'll say it once
28:09.143 --> 28:13.846
[SPEAKER_01]: Tonight we'll be really important because Ash says, you know, we've purged the losing aura.
28:14.207 --> 28:19.330
[SPEAKER_01]: It felt like that Saturday, um, it, it hopefully will feel like that tonight.
28:19.530 --> 28:20.471
[SPEAKER_01]: It will be very important.
28:21.051 --> 28:30.358
[SPEAKER_01]: Um, and before we get into the preview, just really, really quickly, something that I saw that that that came across my desk that I wasn't expecting to see,
28:31.158 --> 28:34.499
[SPEAKER_01]: especially after the retirement from Argentina last weekend.
28:34.839 --> 28:57.767
[SPEAKER_01]: The last tango was this question, which is is there a possibility we're going to see an extension for Leonardo Messi that goes beyond next year maybe looking like there could be anywhere from two to four to five more years in MLS and let me tell you why I say that because a lot of reports came out from Argentina
29:00.270 --> 29:20.705
[SPEAKER_01]: After the final match, he didn't in Argentina, and this was a lot of it was on Twitter and from personalities and from people who follow the team that, that from what they've heard from their sources, messy is he put the end of his chapter with Argentina, but he doesn't feel close to wanting to retire or stop.
29:20.805 --> 29:21.566
[SPEAKER_01]: He still feels good.
29:21.606 --> 29:22.506
[SPEAKER_01]: He still really likes it.
29:22.786 --> 29:23.427
[SPEAKER_01]: He likes seeing
29:23.758 --> 29:25.619
[SPEAKER_01]: his kids at the Academy, he likes it.
29:25.639 --> 29:31.782
[SPEAKER_01]: You saw he peep out this secondary mansion and Miami next to his current one and making a big compound.
29:32.503 --> 29:37.225
[SPEAKER_01]: And people, he's not running away as quick as people may think.
29:37.885 --> 29:42.148
[SPEAKER_01]: There's not a lot of ground on the story yet.
29:42.188 --> 29:43.148
[SPEAKER_01]: We'll have to wait and see.
29:43.188 --> 29:46.310
[SPEAKER_01]: I think a lot of it will depend honestly on how the season plans out.
29:46.890 --> 29:59.933
[SPEAKER_01]: But I thought it was interesting on polymarket that there's there was what like a now like a a higher percent chance on which he and not to say you can exactly trust it, but that there's a Hold on, let me find it.
29:59.993 --> 30:15.217
[SPEAKER_01]: I could afford a 47 percent chance that he's going to extend his contract to at least twenty twenty eight Fifty percent of people betting on that is quite a jump from where we were a few months ago, so I don't know just I thought yay
30:16.978 --> 30:18.400
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going one step at a time.
30:18.440 --> 30:22.387
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm like let's first see if he comes back next season first before we think about it.
30:22.447 --> 30:23.709
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, he's supposed to be
30:24.832 --> 30:27.253
[SPEAKER_00]: He, I mean, on paper, but so it's Jordi Alva.
30:28.053 --> 30:31.455
[SPEAKER_00]: Jordi Alva literally signed the contract and then didn't show up for practice.
30:31.835 --> 30:32.815
[SPEAKER_00]: We talking about practice.
30:33.156 --> 30:36.437
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it's, it's, it's, it can, it can happen.
30:37.037 --> 30:38.018
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, it can definitely happen.
30:38.078 --> 30:39.758
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a little, little, little reference.
30:39.778 --> 30:41.199
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's right.
30:41.259 --> 30:47.762
[SPEAKER_00]: And then Boose gets, you know, in interviews, it's made it seem like he was thinking about it, but there was a chance that he would come back.
30:47.782 --> 30:50.183
[SPEAKER_01]: He had a message with different planets and both of them.
30:50.243 --> 30:51.023
[SPEAKER_01]: It's a different entity.
30:52.584 --> 31:00.970
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, but so much has happened in Messi's life that it's even, like, Buzquez has just, he's tired and he wanted a coach.
31:01.070 --> 31:06.634
[SPEAKER_00]: Jordan Yalba, he, I don't know what his, he had a crazy like 180 change of mind.
31:06.654 --> 31:11.217
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know what influence that, but Messi so much has happened in his life.
31:12.227 --> 31:16.951
[SPEAKER_00]: His father passing was obviously like catastrophic for him.
31:16.991 --> 31:25.219
[SPEAKER_00]: I think for most people would be the catastrophic thing in your life, especially so many that were so intertwined with his other love, which is football.
31:25.659 --> 31:26.500
[SPEAKER_00]: That's his other love.
31:26.520 --> 31:28.321
[SPEAKER_00]: So two things are crazy intertwined.
31:29.022 --> 31:33.906
[SPEAKER_00]: Then he retires from Argentina.
31:33.986 --> 31:35.468
[SPEAKER_00]: His other love that he has.
31:35.628 --> 31:36.689
[SPEAKER_00]: And now he's got left right now.
31:36.709 --> 31:37.570
[SPEAKER_00]: I was into Miami.
31:38.325 --> 31:44.790
[SPEAKER_00]: And, and Antonella, you know, she's, I don't want her to come back and tell us that we're mentioning his loves and we didn't mention her.
31:45.271 --> 31:58.562
[SPEAKER_00]: So, um, to me it's like, If this is all he's got left football wise, and Inter Miami doesn't win them a less cup after not winning
32:00.703 --> 32:05.067
[SPEAKER_00]: champions cup after not winning a league cup after not winning supporters shield.
32:05.427 --> 32:13.574
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it may be something I may be very difficult for for Messi to say do I want to come back to this to a project that is not a winning project?
32:14.467 --> 32:35.479
[SPEAKER_00]: to a project that has had three different coaches in a span of four or five months to a team that doesn't seem to have an identity, to a team that spends almost $20 million on a forward from league iamakeys that can't score and on top of that if they don't win them a less cup or if they don't if they don't find a way to get the champions cup next season
32:36.427 --> 32:40.030
[SPEAKER_00]: and he doesn't have the opportunity to fight for an international cup other than the next cup.
32:40.371 --> 32:44.494
[SPEAKER_00]: That's also something that I think can help steer him and that he may not be back.
32:44.534 --> 32:50.800
[SPEAKER_00]: So I'm not saying he won't, but I'm saying that the possibility of him not coming back next season certainly exists.
32:51.180 --> 32:51.921
[SPEAKER_00]: It's real.
32:52.081 --> 32:52.622
[SPEAKER_00]: It can happen.
32:53.202 --> 32:54.583
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's actually both though.
32:54.763 --> 32:58.225
[SPEAKER_01]: I think there's a high chance of both, which makes it interesting, right?
32:58.585 --> 33:02.907
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there could be a chance that he doesn't with everything you said at stake.
33:03.247 --> 33:05.729
[SPEAKER_01]: But I think on the other side of things, do you go well?
33:06.169 --> 33:08.950
[SPEAKER_01]: I think now, like, there's every chance you'll continue.
33:09.070 --> 33:09.671
[SPEAKER_01]: You know what I mean?
33:09.691 --> 33:11.692
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I think you could flip the coin both ways.
33:12.452 --> 33:13.973
[SPEAKER_01]: And we'll just have to wait and see.
33:14.333 --> 33:15.754
[SPEAKER_01]: I think this is an interesting comment.
33:16.534 --> 33:20.257
[SPEAKER_01]: He has two Spanish clubs, co-owns, and Argentina club, Newelles.
33:20.277 --> 33:21.078
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not going to know us.
33:21.178 --> 33:21.798
[SPEAKER_01]: I promise you that.
33:22.119 --> 33:25.201
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel very confident that he's last team will be in a Miami.
33:26.522 --> 33:27.703
[SPEAKER_01]: I feel pretty strongly about that.
33:28.163 --> 33:36.410
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, if he does play our next season, I guess the question, probably the main question that we're talking about is whether he'll resign.
33:37.470 --> 33:40.691
[SPEAKER_00]: And he's on an extension after, but at that point he's 41.
33:40.711 --> 33:43.152
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, is he going to be playing at 41 years old.
33:43.272 --> 33:45.994
[SPEAKER_01]: Like he's the best right now in the league.
33:46.154 --> 33:47.894
[SPEAKER_01]: He's he was the best in the world cup.
33:48.254 --> 33:51.556
[SPEAKER_00]: You know, yeah, I mean, yeah, I think he's changing to talk about two years.
33:51.956 --> 33:57.918
[SPEAKER_01]: He's watching his kids his kids grow in the academy and and you know me.
33:58.239 --> 33:58.599
[SPEAKER_01]: I don't know.
33:58.699 --> 33:59.059
[SPEAKER_01]: I think.
33:59.559 --> 34:01.040
[SPEAKER_01]: You know, he has stakes in the team.
34:01.080 --> 34:02.341
[SPEAKER_01]: He has stakes in the MLS.
34:02.381 --> 34:04.383
[SPEAKER_01]: He has stakes in the share.
34:04.623 --> 34:10.748
[SPEAKER_01]: There's a lot of things that he, you know, his, his fingerprints are wrapped around and into Miami, the stadium.
34:10.768 --> 34:15.571
[SPEAKER_00]: There's a lot, you know, so I think I think the biggest, I think, yeah, no, I agree with you.
34:15.631 --> 34:16.852
[SPEAKER_00]: I do think there's more factors.
34:17.333 --> 34:24.138
[SPEAKER_00]: I think the sporting factor, the, the current, whatever the state of the club is.
34:25.213 --> 34:27.735
[SPEAKER_00]: We'll determine what he does moving forward.
34:27.755 --> 34:37.242
[SPEAKER_00]: But also, when you're talking about other factors, it's what was mentioned here by, I believe, where is it by a pepto?
34:37.903 --> 34:41.686
[SPEAKER_00]: Like, he does have other things going on around him.
34:42.613 --> 34:43.233
[SPEAKER_00]: football wise.
34:43.253 --> 34:44.574
[SPEAKER_00]: He's he can he's bought clubs.
34:44.594 --> 34:46.415
[SPEAKER_00]: He just finished buying another Spanish club.
34:46.675 --> 34:48.376
[SPEAKER_00]: He had that first one and then he bought one.
34:48.396 --> 34:52.777
[SPEAKER_01]: He wanted to buy all the clubs around Barcelona and then just take them.
34:52.797 --> 35:01.741
[SPEAKER_00]: But those that's something that he may want to focus on too, because I know that Jordi Alba actually he I think one of the reasons he left was he also has a sporting project.
35:01.801 --> 35:03.642
[SPEAKER_00]: He I think he bought a team or something like that.
35:03.702 --> 35:05.003
[SPEAKER_00]: He wanted to focus on that.
35:07.264 --> 35:08.424
[SPEAKER_00]: So that may be something too.
35:08.444 --> 35:09.945
[SPEAKER_00]: That's the determining factor for him.
35:10.960 --> 35:12.561
[SPEAKER_01]: 100% and look, time will tell.
35:12.581 --> 35:15.641
[SPEAKER_01]: I think to your point how Intermoir may perform time will tell.
35:15.701 --> 35:19.723
[SPEAKER_01]: He does have that, I think it's like an E club to like a e sports thing.
35:20.023 --> 35:21.143
[SPEAKER_01]: He has a lot of other things.
35:21.643 --> 35:26.865
[SPEAKER_01]: I think though, I'll just say the one thing that makes a different from every other person.
35:27.725 --> 35:30.866
[SPEAKER_01]: And honestly, to be fair, the same could be said about Ronaldo.
35:31.746 --> 35:34.427
[SPEAKER_01]: Their level and messy level in particular.
35:35.102 --> 35:54.488
[SPEAKER_01]: It's hard to stop when you're still this good like for a lot of players when they're it's like Lebron James like it's hard for he could have stopped a long time ago it's hard to stop when you're still this good and I really mean he looks all the Cristiano looks all oh, I may be and maybe Lebron's a better example of a Christian is older.
35:56.392 --> 36:02.375
[SPEAKER_00]: Am I crazy to say this Cristiano looks older than sweat is like the way he's walking at I don't know if you've seen some of these.
36:02.395 --> 36:03.936
[SPEAKER_00]: He's just trying to get the thousand goals.
36:03.956 --> 36:06.537
[SPEAKER_01]: He's doing everything he can to see to get the thousand.
36:06.557 --> 36:08.258
[SPEAKER_00]: That dude is hobbling like you.
36:08.278 --> 36:08.879
[SPEAKER_00]: I know.
36:08.959 --> 36:09.579
[SPEAKER_00]: No, I know.
36:09.659 --> 36:10.619
[SPEAKER_01]: He's not a good example.
36:10.880 --> 36:19.444
[SPEAKER_01]: I think LeBron actually is probably a more comparable example where yeah, like when you're playing at such a high level, it's hard to just stop, you know.
36:19.724 --> 36:22.085
[SPEAKER_01]: It just I think that's true and and he is.
36:22.125 --> 36:23.246
[SPEAKER_01]: He's the best in MLS.
36:23.526 --> 36:25.047
[SPEAKER_01]: He was just the best at the World Cup.
36:25.487 --> 36:32.911
[SPEAKER_01]: He can be the best anywhere and so when you're still the best like you want everyone so wants to be the best I think that applies to him too.
36:33.372 --> 36:41.116
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see no conversations on it yet Yeah, this is your source it's still scoring bangers the body may be not be there, but
36:41.556 --> 36:44.820
[SPEAKER_01]: He still he gets he scores those goals where you're like them.
36:45.001 --> 36:45.761
[SPEAKER_01]: That's kind of crazy.
36:46.182 --> 36:54.112
[SPEAKER_01]: So we'll see we'll just have to watch a tap and see I would just thought that a couple of those tweets were interesting.
36:54.132 --> 36:57.036
[SPEAKER_01]: I thought the polymark thing was interesting and you know
36:57.547 --> 37:14.431
[SPEAKER_01]: We don't know everything so we'll see a big factor though is going to be starting tonight though can we keep the momentum rolling can we can the team Kind of start getting themselves ready for the playoffs on the super high note and to your point have a great end of the season, which would maybe make him stay.
37:16.172 --> 37:18.232
[SPEAKER_01]: So let's talk about it tonight.
37:18.392 --> 37:20.633
[SPEAKER_01]: Intermiumy playing against New York City FC.
37:22.182 --> 37:30.387
[SPEAKER_01]: Again, at new stadium, hopefully trying to now really make it a fortress after Saturday's performance.
37:31.759 --> 37:59.712
[SPEAKER_01]: I think it's a must win, not even like, it's a must win because New York, like there's when you go to Columbus when you're playing against national like those are difficult teams difficult situations, et cetera, like you should be you should be New York City at home and I think it's a must win to show that we're not going back to those five game losing streaks we're not just having these little glimmers like we're seeing players come back we're getting in an identity.
38:00.152 --> 38:03.836
[SPEAKER_01]: we're playing consistent, you know, things are well-hinged up.
38:04.197 --> 38:06.099
[SPEAKER_01]: I need to see it in a game like this.
38:06.159 --> 38:08.081
[SPEAKER_01]: This is a game that should feel like a lay-up.
38:08.201 --> 38:09.342
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, not a lay-up, you know what I mean?
38:09.362 --> 38:11.865
[SPEAKER_01]: I mean, like, it should feel like we expect to win.
38:12.866 --> 38:13.447
[SPEAKER_01]: In my opinion.
38:16.008 --> 38:19.271
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, you want to close out the season strong, going into the playoffs.
38:20.031 --> 38:25.296
[SPEAKER_00]: I mean, I feel like we've been saying this every episode over the last two months, like you need to finish this out strong.
38:25.776 --> 38:29.820
[SPEAKER_00]: You don't want to go into the playoffs and then, okay, let's try to turn it on.
38:29.920 --> 38:35.344
[SPEAKER_00]: No, you want to go in there on at least some sort of a streak, especially within your coach.
38:35.384 --> 38:37.346
[SPEAKER_00]: You want to figure out the line up now.
38:37.426 --> 38:39.087
[SPEAKER_00]: You want him to figure out the strategy.
38:39.107 --> 38:42.110
[SPEAKER_00]: You want him to get that defense in line before the playoffs start.
38:42.510 --> 38:43.331
[SPEAKER_00]: Miami right now has a 65,
38:44.652 --> 38:49.175
[SPEAKER_00]: of Miami's probability of winning tonight is 65% and pretend to win.
38:49.195 --> 38:51.536
[SPEAKER_01]: New York City or 10th in the East, you know?
38:51.556 --> 38:56.559
[SPEAKER_00]: 10th in the East, they've won eight of 28 league matches.
38:56.819 --> 39:01.581
[SPEAKER_00]: They have a 29% win rate, and they just came off of a two-one loss at Chicago.
39:02.882 --> 39:08.505
[SPEAKER_00]: But they do have a player, Medgal, 15 goals, and 55 chances created this season.
39:08.545 --> 39:09.786
[SPEAKER_00]: He's going to be the guy to look out for.
39:14.467 --> 39:15.107
[SPEAKER_00]: for Inter Miami.
39:15.127 --> 39:19.089
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an important game because when you go into the playoffs, you want home field advantage, right?
39:19.730 --> 39:19.990
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
39:20.110 --> 39:24.212
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm a home field advantage and the east right now is really, really tight.
39:24.232 --> 39:24.952
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
39:25.032 --> 39:29.314
[SPEAKER_00]: Inter Miami's margin of air right now is very slim, slim to none.
39:31.175 --> 39:37.378
[SPEAKER_00]: Chicago, I'm looking at the standing, Chicago, New England, and Charlotte can all pass Miami.
39:38.018 --> 39:39.859
[SPEAKER_00]: If Miami drops points tonight.
39:41.420 --> 39:41.600
[SPEAKER_01]: Yep.
39:42.250 --> 39:46.394
[SPEAKER_00]: Chicago is one point back and you England and Charlotte are three points back.
39:47.374 --> 39:53.940
[SPEAKER_00]: So that's why it's It's important thinking about that perspective where it's like you want to make sure you have it's you want to make sure
39:57.112 --> 40:15.367
[SPEAKER_00]: Um, all the other thing, too, is looking at it from the NYC's perspective, NYC's not going to just kill over and they go, we're tempted, you were tenth in the league and intramami is going to beat us and who cares, just go in there and try not to make a clown out of yourself, just try to keep it tight, a two zero, you know, two zero or only losing one zero is a win for us.
40:15.427 --> 40:19.230
[SPEAKER_00]: No, they're going to go in there and they're going to try to win and they're going to try to win for multiple reasons.
40:19.270 --> 40:23.774
[SPEAKER_00]: Number one, because every single team tries to show it against intramami, they want to prove a point, they want to say,
40:24.254 --> 40:27.096
[SPEAKER_00]: you know, Inter Miami, they get all the praise, they get all the visibility.
40:27.156 --> 40:28.057
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, it's Messi's team.
40:28.557 --> 40:29.438
[SPEAKER_00]: Teams are sick of that.
40:29.838 --> 40:41.486
[SPEAKER_00]: They're tired of the attention and the praise that Inter Miami gets and they try to go in there and you see this all the time with these teams that will come out of a four or five game losing streak and give Inter Miami the toughest game they've ever seen.
40:41.606 --> 40:43.688
[SPEAKER_00]: Go and go and play out of the mind.
40:43.728 --> 40:43.928
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah.
40:43.948 --> 40:45.729
[SPEAKER_01]: Prime, you know, Gigi Buffon.
40:45.829 --> 40:46.750
[SPEAKER_00]: Exactly.
40:46.890 --> 40:47.431
[SPEAKER_00]: It's crazy.
40:47.451 --> 40:50.233
[SPEAKER_00]: So you know, from that perspective, this isn't going to be an easy game.
40:50.893 --> 40:55.335
[SPEAKER_00]: The other side of it is you have to look at the standings as well and see what's going on with New York City.
40:55.355 --> 40:56.595
[SPEAKER_00]: New York City right now is 10th.
40:56.995 --> 40:58.996
[SPEAKER_00]: They're fighting for a playoff spot themselves.
40:59.176 --> 41:01.097
[SPEAKER_01]: And the wildfire right there is super close.
41:01.157 --> 41:01.957
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah.
41:01.977 --> 41:05.318
[SPEAKER_00]: Yeah, they're looking for that eighth and ninth playoff qualifier spot.
41:05.638 --> 41:14.802
[SPEAKER_00]: They have 33 points and above them are Cincinnati with 36 and on Red Bull, New York with 36 and the even Orlando City in seventh place is at 37.
41:14.822 --> 41:14.862
[SPEAKER_00]: So
41:18.547 --> 41:20.668
[SPEAKER_00]: They're fighting for their lives, fighting for their lives.
41:20.688 --> 41:27.192
[SPEAKER_00]: So this isn't going to be, at least it shouldn't be, given the scenario, it shouldn't be an easy game.
41:27.652 --> 41:47.122
[SPEAKER_00]: But again, we'll have to see, Miami comes off of a five game losing streak with a four-rowing can, they build off of that, and have another great game, or they gonna do the same thing they did when they came off of the last losing streak with that seven-one win, and then just do the right back into the same bad pattern
41:47.659 --> 41:52.641
[SPEAKER_00]: bad behaviors, and we'll have to see, hopefully this is the beginning of something new.
41:52.941 --> 41:55.602
[SPEAKER_00]: They'll build off of Kaylee's first win in the regular season.
41:56.262 --> 41:57.543
[SPEAKER_00]: And what do we have?
41:57.583 --> 41:58.723
[SPEAKER_00]: I think there's five games left.
41:58.743 --> 42:00.244
[SPEAKER_00]: They've almost taken her six games left.
42:00.524 --> 42:05.446
[SPEAKER_01]: And look, players, back, new players, back, new players are fitting in making a difference.
42:05.466 --> 42:06.986
[SPEAKER_01]: Some players are coming back from injury.
42:07.407 --> 42:11.308
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, there's things that are now kind of going in our direction.
42:11.708 --> 42:15.770
[SPEAKER_01]: I think what we should do, we haven't done this in a while, is I think we should give score predictions for tonight.
42:17.200 --> 42:18.401
[SPEAKER_00]: Oh, I'm down for sports predictions.
42:18.421 --> 42:20.123
[SPEAKER_00]: Let me just give one last tidbit.
42:20.143 --> 42:25.487
[SPEAKER_00]: So you guys know, it's because it's always cool to see how these teams have matched up in the past, not that always.
42:25.547 --> 42:37.678
[SPEAKER_00]: It's an indicator, but it's good to know, Miami has won the last three meetings between New York City and themselves going back to the 20, 25, semi final and the last six head to heads.
42:38.458 --> 42:40.341
[SPEAKER_00]: Three wins, three draws in zero losses.
42:40.361 --> 42:43.084
[SPEAKER_00]: So they haven't lost in quite a while to NYC FC.
42:43.145 --> 42:46.309
[SPEAKER_00]: So hopefully they were to to keep that going.
42:46.329 --> 42:48.211
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, I'm super down for some predictions.
42:48.231 --> 42:49.232
[SPEAKER_00]: Just go ahead and do it.
42:50.454 --> 42:51.515
[SPEAKER_01]: Okay, you want me to go first?
42:52.397 --> 42:52.697
[SPEAKER_00]: Go ahead.
42:53.647 --> 42:55.608
[SPEAKER_01]: I think, and are my only wins three to one.
42:56.168 --> 43:13.453
[SPEAKER_01]: I would like us to keep, you know, to try and keep a clean sheet, but I think that doesn't necessarily, you know, it's more like wishful thinking, hopefully, because we are getting a stronger defense and, you know, especially if Ian Fraser is able to start.
43:13.843 --> 43:19.886
[SPEAKER_01]: Like, I feel good about Ian Frey, Kassimiro, Mikhail, and Regulon, like, I feel good about that defense.
43:20.106 --> 43:21.546
[SPEAKER_01]: Yeah, that's so we'll see.
43:21.887 --> 43:23.607
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, I think the goals will continue to come.
43:23.667 --> 43:24.908
[SPEAKER_01]: So I think three to one.
43:26.709 --> 43:26.949
[SPEAKER_00]: OK.
43:27.649 --> 43:28.489
[SPEAKER_00]: I like that three to one.
43:30.470 --> 43:36.233
[SPEAKER_00]: Three to one, just because it's really tough to it's tough for Interman to get a clean sheet.
43:36.253 --> 43:39.875
[SPEAKER_00]: So I can see why you're like, OK, there are at least going to get that one goal.
43:42.365 --> 43:52.416
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to go with I really I want messy the score obviously every game just as fun to watch him score, but what I really really want is a bet that I'm in this game.
43:52.476 --> 43:55.159
[SPEAKER_00]: I think it's it's so important for bet that I'm in a score.
43:55.339 --> 43:56.401
[SPEAKER_00]: We got me.
43:56.461 --> 43:57.622
[SPEAKER_01]: I want that too.
43:57.642 --> 43:58.523
[SPEAKER_00]: That would be nice too.
43:59.183 --> 44:10.948
[SPEAKER_00]: What I want from Nick, I'd like to see some of this Brazilian Jogavonito type of stuff, you know, I'd like to see maybe do some stepovers, maybe a little, not make something.
44:11.148 --> 44:13.269
[SPEAKER_00]: I'd like to see that Brazilian flare come out of them.
44:13.289 --> 44:20.632
[SPEAKER_00]: I don't know of this because they name them, Rickelme, so he's maybe doing more Argentina stuff, but we need to see some of that Brazilian flare out of him.
44:20.752 --> 44:24.534
[SPEAKER_00]: But yeah, look, I'm going to go with a messy go with a verteramengo
44:26.715 --> 44:41.641
[SPEAKER_00]: And then I'm going towards your, your, your score that uh, so I'm going to go, I'm going to go to one, now I'm going to go to one, just to make it a little different, even though I, I am leaning more towards yours, I'm going to go with it's a better day and a messy goal for a to the, let's do two zero.
44:41.681 --> 44:43.582
[SPEAKER_00]: I'm going to bank on that second.
44:43.662 --> 44:45.683
[SPEAKER_00]: I really want to see that, I think that's that's important.
44:46.303 --> 44:56.966
[SPEAKER_01]: I would rather like I'd be happier with a 2-nil than a 3-1 because I want to see the clean sheet too, but you know we'll wait and see most importantly and remind me we need to win and it needs to feel good.
44:56.986 --> 45:07.508
[SPEAKER_01]: Do the players I think we're seeing in real time the players blending like I said what I've been most impressed with with Galarsa is his ability to blend in with the team so quickly.
45:07.810 --> 45:08.851
[SPEAKER_01]: I think that's super important.
45:08.871 --> 45:13.913
[SPEAKER_01]: Mikael and Frey have already blended with the team before their injury and Mikael's injury.
45:13.933 --> 45:17.615
[SPEAKER_01]: He was playing every game, Casimir, I was fit right in.
45:18.496 --> 45:27.180
[SPEAKER_01]: So yeah, I think it's tonight's an important game and remind me half to win and continue the consistency.
45:27.680 --> 45:34.344
[SPEAKER_01]: And yeah, make sure, like I said, make sure you are following us on Twitter slash X because we will be providing

45:49.450 --> 45:52.633
[SPEAKER_01]: I honestly, like, recount my scoring would be a slay.
45:52.853 --> 45:53.794
[SPEAKER_01]: So I really want to see that.
45:54.034 --> 45:56.316
