Reaction Monday on ATLUTD, MLS, Euro 2025: Soccer Down Here AM 7.28.25

WEBVTT
1
00:00:27.519 --> 00:00:29.480
How about this to start things off on a day.
2
00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.079
It's one version. You'll hear both versions by the time
3
00:00:33.119 --> 00:00:37.320
the show is over. But let's go ahead and go here.
4
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:39.799
I'm still trying to figure out the whole idea of
5
00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:43.159
maybe starting things with like cold opens and things like that.
6
00:00:43.200 --> 00:00:46.520
We're getting there. It's just me and logistics. But we'll
7
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:49.359
go ahead and start here with this particular goal to
8
00:00:49.399 --> 00:00:52.759
start things off on a reaction Monday, we're.
9
00:00:52.640 --> 00:00:53.759
Gonna be on the eighth.
10
00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.039
Of course, the goal is scored in out of time,
11
00:00:56.479 --> 00:00:59.679
so we'll add more lines. Are looking pret equalis e
12
00:00:59.880 --> 00:01:00.960
n you chase this one.
13
00:01:13.000 --> 00:01:15.000
Last year catch into Miami.
14
00:01:17.519 --> 00:01:20.200
That is a mirror image.
15
00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:21.359
Of the spec soccer.
16
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:21.799
They're cool.
17
00:01:21.879 --> 00:01:23.359
He scored pint of his.
18
00:01:23.439 --> 00:01:27.000
Feet twenty yards out in the angle. It's perfect for
19
00:01:27.079 --> 00:01:28.319
him to open up and put.
20
00:01:28.200 --> 00:01:31.359
It on that sweet left foot, and when he starts
21
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:32.879
to go through it that.
22
00:01:33.079 --> 00:01:36.079
Baul just takes off it sweet left foot.
23
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:39.760
Indeed, Tony husband Ross Smith on the call on Apple
24
00:01:39.799 --> 00:01:43.640
TV and courtesy of them. In Major League Soccer ninety
25
00:01:43.640 --> 00:01:47.200
plus nine, Alexi midon Chuk with the game equalizer to two.
26
00:01:47.280 --> 00:01:51.200
On the weekend, Atlanta United and Seattle will go through
27
00:01:51.280 --> 00:01:54.159
all the stats, all the numbers, and break all of
28
00:01:54.200 --> 00:01:57.319
it down here today and tomorrow as we always do
29
00:01:57.400 --> 00:01:59.319
a Gordon joining us in about eight minutes unless he
30
00:01:59.400 --> 00:02:02.560
joins us soon, which is about normal. So we'll see
31
00:02:02.840 --> 00:02:05.000
what Abe has to think about things now that he's
32
00:02:05.000 --> 00:02:07.040
had a whole thirty six hours to think about it,
33
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:09.400
and so we'll go through at Landy Unit. At hour
34
00:02:09.479 --> 00:02:11.199
number one, we'll hear from Ronnie Dilo, will go through
35
00:02:11.240 --> 00:02:13.000
all the goals, go through all the stats, all the things,
36
00:02:13.000 --> 00:02:15.280
and what you guys have to say as well. We
37
00:02:15.319 --> 00:02:18.039
do have to talk about player acquisitions because that is
38
00:02:18.080 --> 00:02:23.199
happening here in the secondary transfer window, so we'll talk
39
00:02:23.240 --> 00:02:26.759
about that. See if there's anything else in the gossip
40
00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:29.919
perman INU window, mill see if there is an update
41
00:02:30.039 --> 00:02:32.639
on any folks that have been linked to a Land United,
42
00:02:32.719 --> 00:02:34.280
and we'll get into that. Bart Keeler is going to
43
00:02:34.360 --> 00:02:35.919
join us to start off our number two to talk
44
00:02:35.919 --> 00:02:39.280
about the Euros and we will talk about cards and
45
00:02:39.280 --> 00:02:41.159
calls because there are a couple of things that I
46
00:02:41.199 --> 00:02:45.560
did want to get into with Bart and specifically having
47
00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:48.560
to do with the momentum and things like that. Morning
48
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.360
Alex Morning, Abbey We've also got transfer news and all
49
00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:56.080
reports and things like that we'll talk about overseas and
50
00:02:56.120 --> 00:02:57.479
we'll get into that this week.
51
00:02:57.560 --> 00:03:01.759
Here's kind of what we're chasing. And with this week being.
52
00:03:01.639 --> 00:03:05.280
The tail end of July leading into August, obviously that
53
00:03:05.319 --> 00:03:07.759
means we're chasing after Kayler Hodges. We get to find
54
00:03:07.800 --> 00:03:11.719
out about their field trip to Portland, Maine the USL
55
00:03:11.800 --> 00:03:13.400
Show and find out what it was like for them.
56
00:03:13.680 --> 00:03:17.000
We've got championship games coming up in the NPSL and
57
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:21.719
in USL League Two. In PSL it is El Fadalito
58
00:03:22.360 --> 00:03:24.120
and our friends at Hickory FC, so we're going to
59
00:03:24.159 --> 00:03:26.400
try and catch up with both head coaches by the
60
00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.919
time the week is done. And in USL League two
61
00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:32.759
it is Ballard FC and Vermont Green. We've reached out
62
00:03:32.759 --> 00:03:34.520
to folks at Vermont. We'll try and reach out to
63
00:03:34.639 --> 00:03:37.919
friends at Ballard and get you ready for those championship
64
00:03:37.960 --> 00:03:41.479
games this week as well. Obviously Tyler and Dylan joining
65
00:03:41.520 --> 00:03:45.400
us on Wednesday. Remember remember, remember, remember, and we're going
66
00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:49.360
to be out shortly after nine oh five. We can't
67
00:03:49.400 --> 00:03:51.719
go really long this morning because we have to catch
68
00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:57.400
up with the caretaker coach. Caretaker head coach for a
69
00:03:57.479 --> 00:04:01.360
Land United two Jose Silva. In fact, it's okay for
70
00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:05.159
Jose to join us for a conference call, the standard
71
00:04:05.159 --> 00:04:08.039
conference call that we usually have with the coach for
72
00:04:08.080 --> 00:04:12.479
the Tuesday before we go into the match of the week,
73
00:04:12.599 --> 00:04:16.879
because Jose and his wife are now proud parents, and
74
00:04:17.120 --> 00:04:20.000
I mean like literally just this weekend. So we will
75
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:26.759
see if Jose is getting time away from family, We'll
76
00:04:26.800 --> 00:04:28.680
see what it's like to be a dad. We'll see
77
00:04:28.680 --> 00:04:31.480
if he's got any sleep. That conference call is coming
78
00:04:31.519 --> 00:04:32.879
up for us as we get ready for it Land
79
00:04:32.959 --> 00:04:36.120
United and the Revs. The Revs Too at Land United
80
00:04:36.160 --> 00:04:41.480
two Wednesday morning at eleven on the network Soccer down
81
00:04:41.480 --> 00:04:44.600
here dot Mixler dot com. So pregame show ten thirty
82
00:04:45.199 --> 00:04:49.319
kick at Foxborough elevenh three.
83
00:04:49.519 --> 00:04:50.240
So you got that.
84
00:04:50.480 --> 00:04:54.199
Like, so when our show ends on Wednesday morning, then
85
00:04:54.240 --> 00:04:56.600
you can switch over to the Mixler channel and you
86
00:04:56.600 --> 00:04:58.959
can listen to it Land United too and the Revs two.
87
00:04:59.360 --> 00:05:01.279
But that con France calls coming up this morning, so
88
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:03.720
we'll find out what's going on with Jose Silva. Steve Cook,
89
00:05:03.720 --> 00:05:06.240
if you missed it, is now the head of Youth
90
00:05:06.279 --> 00:05:10.399
and Academy up at Lexington sc in USL Championship, and
91
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:13.240
so Steve is headed north and we're going to catch
92
00:05:13.279 --> 00:05:16.439
up with him obviously when things calm down. But with
93
00:05:16.560 --> 00:05:19.399
Steve heading the Lexington, Jose Silvis now your caretaker head
94
00:05:19.439 --> 00:05:21.639
coach for the twos, we'll find out what life has
95
00:05:21.879 --> 00:05:24.160
been like for him as he balances now being a
96
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:27.000
parent and being an interim head coach. So we'll get
97
00:05:27.000 --> 00:05:29.360
into that with Jose and you'll hear from that. On
98
00:05:29.560 --> 00:05:32.560
a Wednesday morning, it's that time, as always on the
99
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:35.319
Tom Coughlin scale, five minutes early means you're on time,
100
00:05:35.399 --> 00:05:37.519
so that means to ave Gordon drops by from our
101
00:05:37.560 --> 00:05:40.639
friends at ninety two nine in the game, and sir,
102
00:05:40.720 --> 00:05:43.600
I see the sunshine. I see that you're in colony square.
103
00:05:43.720 --> 00:05:45.639
Now that you've had the sum total of thirty six
104
00:05:45.720 --> 00:05:47.800
hours to think about what you and I talked about
105
00:05:47.920 --> 00:05:50.399
after it Lanta United and the draw with Seattle, anything
106
00:05:50.399 --> 00:05:51.199
else stick in your head.
107
00:05:54.040 --> 00:05:56.120
No, I mean, it's a lot more of the same.
108
00:05:56.639 --> 00:06:00.000
It's great that they can fight and don't give up
109
00:06:00.079 --> 00:06:03.759
up in matches, especially when you take such a suffering
110
00:06:04.279 --> 00:06:07.800
goal against there that felt like it was the doomsday goal.
111
00:06:08.879 --> 00:06:11.360
But in the end of it where you are on
112
00:06:11.439 --> 00:06:15.399
the season, where you are in the standings, you needed
113
00:06:15.399 --> 00:06:20.680
three points, and so it's look, it's it's gotten this way.
114
00:06:20.759 --> 00:06:24.000
Like I've been comparing the Braves and United a lot,
115
00:06:24.199 --> 00:06:28.360
it's okay to admit. It's okay to admit the postseason
116
00:06:28.439 --> 00:06:31.519
is not gonna happen right now. There's just a lot
117
00:06:31.560 --> 00:06:34.360
of things going taking place that you hope to see
118
00:06:34.600 --> 00:06:37.480
carry over into next season, and some things you obviously
119
00:06:37.560 --> 00:06:41.040
want to not carry over into next season. The good
120
00:06:41.040 --> 00:06:43.079
news from that perspective is you do start with a
121
00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:46.040
blank slate. I am excited for League's Cup. It's an
122
00:06:46.040 --> 00:06:50.879
incredibly difficult format. I think it's incredibly tough to advance
123
00:06:51.600 --> 00:06:54.959
out of League's Cup into the next round. You're probably
124
00:06:55.040 --> 00:07:01.519
talking about two victories and a shootout loss at worst.
125
00:07:02.120 --> 00:07:04.360
Maybe you need to have a shootout win as part
126
00:07:04.399 --> 00:07:08.759
of three victories, but the format is not forgiving. So
127
00:07:08.920 --> 00:07:11.040
Lady un it has to keep the same mindset that
128
00:07:11.240 --> 00:07:14.399
that I kind of felt they needed in the MLS season.
129
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:18.399
Three points or bust, and so we'll see if they
130
00:07:18.439 --> 00:07:20.519
can do that Wednesday against Nikosa.
131
00:07:20.959 --> 00:07:22.759
Yeah, and you and I are going to get all
132
00:07:22.800 --> 00:07:26.360
of our cramming in for our LEGA MkIS tests coming
133
00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:29.560
up here in a little bit. But you mentioned the
134
00:07:29.600 --> 00:07:34.360
format for League's Cup, and literally it's not like where
135
00:07:34.920 --> 00:07:37.560
they call it phase one and they're trying to promote
136
00:07:37.680 --> 00:07:41.279
winning and winning big. It's almost like Yegermeister Cup for
137
00:07:41.319 --> 00:07:41.920
a Well.
138
00:07:41.800 --> 00:07:45.079
I just you don't want to confuse phase one, like
139
00:07:45.120 --> 00:07:47.600
you said, with a group stage. It is not a
140
00:07:47.600 --> 00:07:50.079
group stage because they're not divided into groups.
141
00:07:50.120 --> 00:07:53.360
And it's not the top two out of the teams
142
00:07:53.399 --> 00:07:54.680
that you're playing move on.
143
00:07:55.240 --> 00:07:59.120
It is four of eighteen teams move on for the
144
00:07:59.240 --> 00:08:02.519
MLS sides and equally for the LEGA MX sides. And
145
00:08:02.560 --> 00:08:05.439
so you gotta not just beat one or two teams
146
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.279
from your opponent pool. You have to beat thirteen other
147
00:08:09.439 --> 00:08:13.600
fourteen other MLS squads in terms of points, and like
148
00:08:13.639 --> 00:08:15.759
you said, they need you to go after it.
149
00:08:16.120 --> 00:08:17.680
You gotta score. You've got to score a lot.
150
00:08:17.720 --> 00:08:20.720
And so we'll see what it looks like starting on
151
00:08:21.199 --> 00:08:23.480
Wednesday with Nikoxa coming to town.
152
00:08:23.639 --> 00:08:24.560
Like I said, you and I are.
153
00:08:24.439 --> 00:08:26.160
Going to be getting all of our cramming in for
154
00:08:26.199 --> 00:08:30.079
the tests and figuring out keepers and attack and all
155
00:08:30.079 --> 00:08:32.279
this kind of stuff. It'll be a fun it'll be
156
00:08:32.320 --> 00:08:36.200
a fun element inside the season. But I mean you
157
00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:39.759
and I once again, you've got a lot of space
158
00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:43.000
between you and even thinking about the nine right now,
159
00:08:43.039 --> 00:08:45.000
and I think it's an opportunity for at Landy United
160
00:08:45.039 --> 00:08:47.360
to focus on themselves for a little bit. Bring in
161
00:08:47.399 --> 00:08:50.279
all the new faces that we are seeing and possibly
162
00:08:50.360 --> 00:08:52.480
more that we have linked to a Landy United. See
163
00:08:52.480 --> 00:08:55.919
how they all integrate, and see how these veterans, most
164
00:08:55.919 --> 00:08:58.039
of them at the back and most of them you
165
00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:01.039
know right now it's center backs, and then the idea
166
00:09:01.080 --> 00:09:03.759
of a midfielder and then laoel Fonso coming in for
167
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:06.200
help on the wing. How do they integrate? And you
168
00:09:06.320 --> 00:09:10.000
have this opportunity to do that before you jump back
169
00:09:10.039 --> 00:09:13.399
into leagues, before you jump back into league play with
170
00:09:13.720 --> 00:09:15.639
Toronto on the twenty fourth at the end of the month.
171
00:09:17.240 --> 00:09:21.399
Yeah, Leo Alfonso's the interesting one. And I think Luke
172
00:09:21.440 --> 00:09:22.799
Brennan on.
173
00:09:22.679 --> 00:09:25.720
Saturday Night made it interesting because I think there's a
174
00:09:25.759 --> 00:09:29.000
world where if Luke Brennan maybe disappoints or does it
175
00:09:29.120 --> 00:09:32.000
show Ronnie Dila what he wanted to see, then you
176
00:09:32.039 --> 00:09:35.000
could bring Alfonso right into the starting lineup for me
177
00:09:35.200 --> 00:09:38.279
based on what Luke Brennan provided Saturday night in that
178
00:09:38.399 --> 00:09:41.399
draw against Seattle. I think he deserves another go here.
179
00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.600
And I mentioned this a couple of weeks ago when
180
00:09:44.600 --> 00:09:48.000
we were kind of Leak's Cup was on the precipice, like,
181
00:09:48.080 --> 00:09:50.799
I'm putting more of my energy into trying to advance
182
00:09:50.840 --> 00:09:53.679
and win in League's Cup than I am in the
183
00:09:53.799 --> 00:09:56.399
MLS season. So if I have to have a b
184
00:09:56.600 --> 00:09:59.320
rate lineup, it's going to go into an MLS match,
185
00:09:59.399 --> 00:10:01.480
not into the League's Cup match. These are gonna be
186
00:10:01.519 --> 00:10:04.440
my a Guys, if I were the manager, if I
187
00:10:04.559 --> 00:10:08.360
were the front office in detailing and planning what we
188
00:10:08.759 --> 00:10:11.279
want to go after at this point, so I would
189
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:14.200
have Luke Brennan in there. I am interested to see
190
00:10:14.799 --> 00:10:16.919
what we're gonna get. It was nice to see ste
191
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.440
On Gregorson back in there. Is it a situation where
192
00:10:20.519 --> 00:10:23.600
you could pair ste On with me High? Is it
193
00:10:23.720 --> 00:10:26.720
one for one stee On or me High? Along with
194
00:10:26.799 --> 00:10:30.320
Derek Williams. Fascinated to see what the decisions at the
195
00:10:30.360 --> 00:10:32.039
back art. I do know that I want to see
196
00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:35.360
more of me High. Didn't get to see that much
197
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.519
from him in the closing moments there. He did have
198
00:10:39.559 --> 00:10:42.759
a nice little tricky dribble, a nice little turn to
199
00:10:42.960 --> 00:10:46.080
escape some trouble. I wouldn't recommend doing that so close
200
00:10:46.120 --> 00:10:49.840
to your own goal. He made it work, all is forgiven.
201
00:10:50.200 --> 00:10:52.879
So but but I do want to see more more
202
00:10:52.879 --> 00:10:55.240
of me high, There's no doubt about that. And then
203
00:10:56.399 --> 00:10:59.799
I still again, even though I said I want this
204
00:11:00.039 --> 00:11:01.559
to be your A lineup, I would like.
205
00:11:01.519 --> 00:11:04.720
To see some Will Riley in there as well. I
206
00:11:04.720 --> 00:11:06.000
don't know.
207
00:11:06.320 --> 00:11:08.720
It's tough to make an argument because I'm not really
208
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:12.440
pulling I'm certainly not pulling Sleish off. You know, what
209
00:11:12.480 --> 00:11:14.200
do I do with moy On Bond the way he's
210
00:11:14.200 --> 00:11:17.840
played in recent weeks, So some good questions to have
211
00:11:17.960 --> 00:11:21.480
about who's gonna be available who's not. But I would
212
00:11:21.559 --> 00:11:26.320
not move out Brennan for Alfonso. So I'm fascinated to
213
00:11:26.360 --> 00:11:30.000
see what the decisions are there. Niggy's got to go,
214
00:11:30.159 --> 00:11:32.720
Latte Lotha's got to go again. I'm playing my A
215
00:11:32.840 --> 00:11:36.080
lineup against Nicasa, and look, if you don't pick up
216
00:11:36.080 --> 00:11:39.120
three points, right, if you either lose and get zero
217
00:11:39.200 --> 00:11:41.559
points or you losing a shootout and get one point,
218
00:11:42.519 --> 00:11:44.639
then maybe you start to look at it at taking
219
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:46.960
a different path because being one of the top four
220
00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:49.159
might already be gone at that point if you lose,
221
00:11:49.200 --> 00:11:51.679
if you get zero points, I just don't think you
222
00:11:51.720 --> 00:11:54.240
can get to a top four spot in advance to
223
00:11:54.279 --> 00:11:57.600
the quarterfinals. So maybe at that point you look at
224
00:11:57.600 --> 00:12:01.080
shuffling the lineup a little bit more the games of
225
00:12:01.120 --> 00:12:04.159
Pumas and Atlas. But I've given my a lineup here
226
00:12:04.159 --> 00:12:07.480
against Nikoxas, so I expect to see very similar to
227
00:12:07.519 --> 00:12:09.559
what we see for an MLS match day.
228
00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:10.200
Yeah.
229
00:12:10.240 --> 00:12:13.279
So the breakdown for those that obviously do not have
230
00:12:13.320 --> 00:12:16.519
their calendars in front of them is you have the
231
00:12:16.559 --> 00:12:20.480
matchup coming up in two days against NIKOXTT Mercedes Benz.
232
00:12:21.000 --> 00:12:25.320
Then you go to Central Florida to take on Pumas
233
00:12:26.000 --> 00:12:29.559
and that is on the second and so that's on Saturday,
234
00:12:29.600 --> 00:12:32.879
and so obviously coverage all over the place with ninety
235
00:12:32.879 --> 00:12:34.519
two nine in the game in the Odyssey app Then
236
00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:38.320
you turn around and once again you play August the sixth,
237
00:12:38.600 --> 00:12:43.159
which is midweek Wednesday against Atlas, and then if you
238
00:12:43.200 --> 00:12:45.480
don't make it out of group, you hop back into
239
00:12:45.840 --> 00:12:49.799
MLS play and you'll know what your focus is. You're
240
00:12:49.799 --> 00:12:52.039
not having to juggle one competition or the other. You
241
00:12:52.080 --> 00:12:55.279
go to Montreal on the ninth. Then you have the
242
00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:59.879
sixteenth would be the matchup in Colorado against the Rapids
243
00:13:00.360 --> 00:13:01.960
if you were to advance.
244
00:13:02.559 --> 00:13:03.679
Here's how once.
245
00:13:03.480 --> 00:13:05.519
Again, you're juggling, and it's almost like an Open Cup
246
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:09.440
situation where it's MIDWEK weekend, et cetera. On the nineteenth
247
00:13:09.559 --> 00:13:12.840
would be the quarterfinals. Nineteenth and twentieth of August is
248
00:13:12.919 --> 00:13:16.240
quarter final activity, and so that's four days after you
249
00:13:16.240 --> 00:13:18.120
would have played, and then you have to come back
250
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:20.240
and then you play that first home match against Toronto
251
00:13:20.240 --> 00:13:22.879
on the weekend, and then you're ducking back in, ducking
252
00:13:22.919 --> 00:13:26.200
back out twenty six, twenty seven, thirty one, and that's
253
00:13:26.240 --> 00:13:28.360
when you have your third place match, and your final
254
00:13:28.440 --> 00:13:30.679
is taking up the month of August, and then you're
255
00:13:30.720 --> 00:13:33.399
back into you have the September break around Labor Day,
256
00:13:33.399 --> 00:13:35.679
and then you get back into things. So there is
257
00:13:35.799 --> 00:13:37.879
that opportunity, but to your point, you got to get
258
00:13:37.879 --> 00:13:40.519
off to the hot start and make sure that you
259
00:13:40.639 --> 00:13:44.600
have that opportunity to get into the back and forth
260
00:13:44.639 --> 00:13:46.879
that you would have starting on the ninth and then
261
00:13:46.960 --> 00:13:49.720
going ninth and nineteenth, the ninth and sixteenth and nineteenth
262
00:13:49.720 --> 00:13:51.879
and all that kind of stuff. But focus on yourself first.
263
00:13:51.879 --> 00:13:56.080
Like I said, I am intrigued with the Afonso acquisition.
264
00:13:56.960 --> 00:13:59.120
You know, you've got what we saw from me high
265
00:13:59.159 --> 00:14:01.720
and then you have the other center back who's coming
266
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:04.240
in soon. He was at the match, by the way,
267
00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:09.480
on Saturday, newly married, two days worth of newly married,
268
00:14:10.039 --> 00:14:11.879
and he was at the match, although he was not
269
00:14:12.039 --> 00:14:14.080
dressed out to take part in it. And then there
270
00:14:14.120 --> 00:14:16.120
are other rumors that we get to get into. So
271
00:14:16.480 --> 00:14:18.240
welcome to the secondary transfer window.
272
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:28.000
Yeah, yeah, I mean, look, I'm fascinating out and I
273
00:14:28.039 --> 00:14:31.120
guess when Chris Henderson was fast on the pregame show
274
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:34.960
by Mike and Jason, there's still spots? Is there still
275
00:14:35.080 --> 00:14:37.759
possibility for more moves? And he said there are so
276
00:14:39.840 --> 00:14:41.960
certainly some of these decisions are I think you're getting
277
00:14:42.000 --> 00:14:47.759
to the point now where some of these decisions you
278
00:14:47.840 --> 00:14:52.320
might see names being moved out and it's tough to
279
00:14:52.360 --> 00:14:55.559
see some of the youngsters Morales and Cobb go. I
280
00:14:55.559 --> 00:14:58.120
think there's some even bigger, mainstay names that might be
281
00:14:58.159 --> 00:15:00.399
moved if you're looking to add and bring more eyes in.
282
00:15:02.120 --> 00:15:06.080
After this season. The turnover, I think he's gonna be big, big,
283
00:15:06.120 --> 00:15:07.279
big time turnovers.
284
00:15:07.279 --> 00:15:09.200
So fascinated by that.
285
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:12.039
But look, like you mentioned, when you deal with the
286
00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:15.200
back and forth of potentially playing in the knockout rounds
287
00:15:15.240 --> 00:15:18.559
for League's Cup, I mean, I'll take that that means
288
00:15:18.600 --> 00:15:20.840
that you've done something well in these first three games,
289
00:15:20.840 --> 00:15:24.080
and certainly, like I said, is certainly if you were
290
00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:28.320
into the quarterfinals, that takes such a major priority for
291
00:15:28.360 --> 00:15:30.000
me over the rest of the MLS season.
292
00:15:30.519 --> 00:15:33.559
Yeah, and we've seen that in Open Cup where you
293
00:15:33.600 --> 00:15:35.679
have teams that are well out of the playoff picture.
294
00:15:35.679 --> 00:15:37.919
We saw it with Sporting Kansas City in the US
295
00:15:38.000 --> 00:15:41.440
Open Cup a couple of seasons ago, where Sporting was
296
00:15:41.480 --> 00:15:44.120
making a run and that was what they were focused on.
297
00:15:44.440 --> 00:15:46.399
Peter Vermes at the time when he was AD coach,
298
00:15:46.440 --> 00:15:48.399
He's like, yep, now we're throwing all of our resources
299
00:15:48.399 --> 00:15:50.480
into two Open Cup. You know, it is what it
300
00:15:50.519 --> 00:15:53.039
is in regular season, and you know, if we may,
301
00:15:53.120 --> 00:15:54.759
you know, if we make any kind of a push, cool,
302
00:15:55.399 --> 00:15:58.240
But you know, then look, we're focused on Open Cup
303
00:15:58.279 --> 00:16:00.440
because we made that run deep and I think they
304
00:16:00.480 --> 00:16:02.679
made it to the semifinals by the time they were done.
305
00:16:02.759 --> 00:16:05.440
But to your point, focus on there's something that you
306
00:16:05.440 --> 00:16:08.759
can chase, and so you look at the optimism of
307
00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:10.559
bringing in the new faces, how do they integrate and
308
00:16:10.600 --> 00:16:13.879
if you're chasing something more power to it. Yeah, you
309
00:16:13.919 --> 00:16:18.720
look at You know, obviously we have the you mentioned
310
00:16:18.720 --> 00:16:20.960
Morales and Cobb, and I know that that was a
311
00:16:20.960 --> 00:16:23.279
point for a lot of the seventeens. On the weekend
312
00:16:23.440 --> 00:16:26.480
effort goes to Montreal, could be upwards of eight hundred
313
00:16:26.519 --> 00:16:29.679
thousand and am by the time it's done, Noah to
314
00:16:29.919 --> 00:16:34.159
Colorado one hundred thousand there, and there's a sell on
315
00:16:34.399 --> 00:16:36.840
and then obviously some performance metrics, And I know that
316
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:39.960
that was raising some eyebrows for some folks before the
317
00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.320
weekend happened, where Noah ends up in Colorado for the
318
00:16:42.360 --> 00:16:44.720
remainder of the season and probably for longer.
319
00:16:51.360 --> 00:16:52.559
You with me, you got your ears on?
320
00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:58.039
Yeah, I lost you there, So I missed the end
321
00:16:58.080 --> 00:17:00.840
part of the question. I'll just speak on this. The
322
00:17:00.919 --> 00:17:04.000
Noah comp thing, to me is is potentially a short
323
00:17:04.079 --> 00:17:06.759
term thing, and so I wouldn't be too surprised to
324
00:17:06.759 --> 00:17:09.079
see him back at some point.
325
00:17:09.400 --> 00:17:11.160
I'm fascinating to see the development.
326
00:17:11.200 --> 00:17:13.759
Look, this is the guy we looked at at times
327
00:17:13.799 --> 00:17:18.319
towards the end. He's to play, he needs to develop
328
00:17:18.400 --> 00:17:20.920
and for whatever reason, he just wasn't getting the looking
329
00:17:21.000 --> 00:17:22.960
over a little bit, look like Matt Edwards had taken
330
00:17:23.000 --> 00:17:26.240
some of those minutes. I think everyone is very high
331
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:29.039
still on Noah Cop, but he just wasn't getting enough
332
00:17:29.039 --> 00:17:32.599
development here and and I think playing with the twos
333
00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:35.359
is only going to give him a certain level of
334
00:17:35.400 --> 00:17:37.759
development as well. I think he does need to be up.
335
00:17:37.839 --> 00:17:40.599
He's certainly that quality of a play. So I'm fascinated
336
00:17:40.640 --> 00:17:44.519
to see what he can do in Colorado and how
337
00:17:44.559 --> 00:17:47.680
he can develop and then either make a move from
338
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:50.440
there which could benefit at Lanty United, or return to
339
00:17:50.480 --> 00:17:53.599
Atlanti and and.
340
00:17:53.559 --> 00:17:54.680
Then Morales as well.
341
00:17:54.720 --> 00:17:57.319
Like this is another guy that I think the past
342
00:17:57.400 --> 00:17:59.519
couple of weeks, with the exception of whatever went down
343
00:17:59.559 --> 00:18:02.680
at halftime two weeks ago, I think you saw what
344
00:18:02.759 --> 00:18:05.119
he can provide to a back line as well. So
345
00:18:05.440 --> 00:18:07.240
I'm excited to see these guys grow.
346
00:18:07.640 --> 00:18:07.920
John.
347
00:18:07.960 --> 00:18:10.920
It's the tough part of developing talent at this level,
348
00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:16.240
especially when it's multiple guys the same position or grouping
349
00:18:16.279 --> 00:18:21.519
of positions and you just don't have the area. You
350
00:18:21.559 --> 00:18:29.200
don't have six center back, and so from that perspective,
351
00:18:29.200 --> 00:18:31.440
it's tough to see them move on, but I do
352
00:18:31.559 --> 00:18:34.599
look forward to watching them from Afar and again, it
353
00:18:34.680 --> 00:18:39.039
just continues to be a promotion tool for the academy
354
00:18:39.160 --> 00:18:43.720
and for the twos to continually pump out MLS caliber
355
00:18:43.799 --> 00:18:45.880
talent from their youth.
356
00:18:46.720 --> 00:18:48.599
All right, so go ahead and hit the promo for
357
00:18:48.759 --> 00:18:51.799
me and let everybody know what's going on with Atlanta
358
00:18:51.920 --> 00:18:54.480
United and Nickoxa in Leaks Cup.
359
00:18:55.000 --> 00:18:57.640
Yeah, no changes from our regular style.
360
00:18:57.759 --> 00:19:01.440
So we still got full hour pregame, full hour post
361
00:19:01.519 --> 00:19:04.759
game Wednesday for NACASA. Even though it's League's Cup. Everything
362
00:19:04.839 --> 00:19:07.240
is going to be the same starting at six thirty.
363
00:19:07.279 --> 00:19:10.359
Looking forward to it, and again it's a blank slate.
364
00:19:10.440 --> 00:19:15.880
Anything can happen. We look, we've seen Fordna has mentioned
365
00:19:15.920 --> 00:19:18.799
it the performance like this was a team in Seattle
366
00:19:18.880 --> 00:19:22.519
that was his top four in the Western Conference. You
367
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:26.920
played them pretty much square even, and so I'm not
368
00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:30.720
burying this team from any caliber and competition. I think
369
00:19:30.759 --> 00:19:34.079
that obviously they're too far gone from the MLS standings,
370
00:19:34.119 --> 00:19:36.559
but I would not be surprised to see them turning
371
00:19:36.640 --> 00:19:39.359
on in League's Cup, especially with a couple of these games,
372
00:19:39.359 --> 00:19:43.440
even though technically the away side being at home. So
373
00:19:43.559 --> 00:19:46.359
Wednesday night we're gonna be there Mercedes Benz Stadium and
374
00:19:46.359 --> 00:19:48.200
looking forward to it as always.
375
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:49.960
I will see you there at the stadium and we
376
00:19:50.000 --> 00:19:52.279
will be hanging out post match and talking about the
377
00:19:52.319 --> 00:19:54.559
first game in League's Cup as always, my friend, thanks
378
00:19:54.559 --> 00:19:57.000
for betting leadoff with us all week long, all season long.
379
00:19:57.039 --> 00:19:57.680
Who am I saying?
380
00:19:58.079 --> 00:19:59.680
You got it? We'll see you in a couple of days.
381
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:00.480
You got it.
382
00:20:00.519 --> 00:20:03.079
There's Abe Gordon ninety two nine in the game, and
383
00:20:03.279 --> 00:20:05.559
it's always good to have a leading off for us.
384
00:20:05.599 --> 00:20:08.200
He's our Eachiro, I guess, considering that each Hero was
385
00:20:08.400 --> 00:20:10.559
inducted into the Hall of Fame, go watch that speech.
386
00:20:10.680 --> 00:20:13.400
If you missed it, go watch each Hero's Hall of
387
00:20:13.400 --> 00:20:16.359
Fame speech. It was definitely a Hall of Fame speech,
388
00:20:17.359 --> 00:20:19.440
third time, third time in his career. He's a rookie
389
00:20:20.200 --> 00:20:22.759
and so once again from that weekend, go watch that.
390
00:20:23.440 --> 00:20:27.039
But made fun of a lot of different things and
391
00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:32.119
showed his very very it's a sledgehammer sense of humor.
392
00:20:32.160 --> 00:20:33.680
So if you've got twenty minutes, if you just want
393
00:20:33.680 --> 00:20:35.839
to play it in the background while you're doing other
394
00:20:35.880 --> 00:20:38.920
things today, go back and listen to the speech of
395
00:20:39.079 --> 00:20:41.920
each row when he was inducted into the Major League
396
00:20:41.960 --> 00:20:45.559
Baseball Hall of Fame. Hi, everybody, it's a Monday, and
397
00:20:45.680 --> 00:20:47.759
we'll go over Like I said, we'll go over everything
398
00:20:47.839 --> 00:20:51.200
from Atlanta United, whatever's on your mind this morning. Bart's
399
00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.000
going to join us in about a half hour. We'll
400
00:20:53.000 --> 00:20:56.279
talk Euros, We'll talk reffing cards and calls. We'll talk
401
00:20:56.319 --> 00:21:02.359
about you know that fella cards in the fifth minute
402
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:08.160
in game state and over correcting, and we'll get into
403
00:21:08.200 --> 00:21:12.200
the idea of being one of the most whistle prone
404
00:21:12.480 --> 00:21:17.039
center f's in Major League soccer and then not for
405
00:21:17.079 --> 00:21:19.039
some reason. So we'll get into all that coming up
406
00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:21.799
an hour number two with Abe. All right, so let's
407
00:21:21.799 --> 00:21:24.839
get into it Land United and break down everything that happened,
408
00:21:24.880 --> 00:21:26.279
go through all the names, all the numbers.
409
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:28.160
I do have an interesting piece of.
410
00:21:30.200 --> 00:21:35.319
Of just looking at transactions from the weekend, and one
411
00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:39.920
of them was the Leo Afonso deal involving that Land United,
412
00:21:40.000 --> 00:21:44.759
Messian Friends and just the the the logic that was
413
00:21:44.799 --> 00:21:47.839
attached over the last couple of previous days when it
414
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:52.119
came to Messi and friends and their front office making
415
00:21:52.160 --> 00:21:55.559
these transactions, and specifically the Afonso transaction. We'll get into
416
00:21:55.559 --> 00:21:57.039
that in a bit, all right, let's break it all down.
417
00:21:58.160 --> 00:22:02.519
It was early on for Atlanta United and it was
418
00:22:02.559 --> 00:22:07.519
an early lead for them in the matchup going up
419
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:09.839
against Seattle. Like I said there, there is something that
420
00:22:09.880 --> 00:22:12.839
I did want to discuss probably an hour number two later,
421
00:22:12.960 --> 00:22:16.039
about how difficult it is now over the last five
422
00:22:16.119 --> 00:22:18.880
years to actually win at home in Major League Soccer.
423
00:22:18.920 --> 00:22:20.240
We talked about how difficult it is.
424
00:22:20.240 --> 00:22:23.359
Someone's actually come up with the empirical evidence to break
425
00:22:23.400 --> 00:22:27.519
that all down. Early on, it was a Latte Lot
426
00:22:27.759 --> 00:22:29.880
and it was our scan of hot play. For those
427
00:22:29.920 --> 00:22:32.279
that were there at Mercedes Benge, you got to see
428
00:22:32.519 --> 00:22:34.519
me and the Hoff walk you through it. Here are
429
00:22:34.519 --> 00:22:36.720
two versions once again, let's start with our friends at
430
00:22:36.720 --> 00:22:40.240
Apple TV. It's a Tony Husband and Ross Smith early
431
00:22:40.319 --> 00:22:43.359
for Atlanta United with their goal on the board against
432
00:22:43.359 --> 00:22:49.279
Seattle at Mercedes. Benz sets up at Lotte Lot White.
433
00:22:49.279 --> 00:22:51.680
It goes brendan bike for Lotte Lot. Has he got
434
00:22:51.720 --> 00:22:52.160
an angle?
435
00:22:52.200 --> 00:22:53.119
Then it's deflected?
436
00:22:53.440 --> 00:22:54.359
He didn't get an angle?
437
00:22:54.400 --> 00:23:03.039
It did he go to defliction a long time a goal? Well,
438
00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:05.039
maybe it's the break they need.
439
00:23:04.839 --> 00:23:08.839
It because you shouldn't realis call from that buddy has
440
00:23:09.359 --> 00:23:11.440
a lot to me by galtonel Stars.
441
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:16.440
That's testing the young left package of Seattle Baker.
442
00:23:16.480 --> 00:23:19.240
Whiting's all over the place and Almrong He's able.
443
00:23:19.079 --> 00:23:22.839
To get into that front half and going further back
444
00:23:22.880 --> 00:23:26.839
on that play, the ball that Derek Williams sent forward to,
445
00:23:27.400 --> 00:23:30.079
I mean he went from one eighteen to the other
446
00:23:30.200 --> 00:23:33.200
and Miggy tracks it down on the second bounce and
447
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:35.960
you have Miggy work it to the top of the eighteen,
448
00:23:36.000 --> 00:23:38.880
give to Latte Lot. Latte Lot found Brennan off to
449
00:23:38.960 --> 00:23:41.440
the left and there was a space for Latte Lot
450
00:23:41.480 --> 00:23:43.559
to shoot through. Like I said, it was probably a
451
00:23:43.640 --> 00:23:47.759
good two yards wide space that he goes through in
452
00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:51.400
that defense and has the opportunity to put something close
453
00:23:51.440 --> 00:23:54.240
to net, bounces it off of Yamart, it goes in
454
00:23:54.279 --> 00:23:56.519
the net, and that made it one nill.
455
00:23:56.599 --> 00:23:57.640
That was the.
456
00:23:59.400 --> 00:24:01.920
That was the So here's the ninety two to nine
457
00:24:01.920 --> 00:24:03.680
in the game in the Odyssey app version. Mike and
458
00:24:03.759 --> 00:24:04.720
Jason on the call.
459
00:24:05.240 --> 00:24:07.160
It slinding it along the edge of the eighteen to
460
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:09.039
the edge of the right side of Gregor's who then
461
00:24:09.079 --> 00:24:11.079
plays after Hernandez and it'll pitch it over the top
462
00:24:11.119 --> 00:24:13.839
for all Maron and a one v one with Baker,
463
00:24:13.880 --> 00:24:16.240
Whiting and all Moron wins the race. It's bumped at
464
00:24:16.240 --> 00:24:18.079
the top of the eight team and stays on the ball.
465
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:20.480
Drop back pass Latte Lot top of the arc, ahead
466
00:24:20.519 --> 00:24:22.279
to Brendon left side of the eight team, back to
467
00:24:22.319 --> 00:24:23.920
Latte Lot, Whine up going far side.
468
00:24:23.920 --> 00:24:26.039
Here, says Cross just put it.
469
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:27.720
Into net for an own goal.
470
00:24:29.880 --> 00:24:33.599
One nil Atlanta United in the seventh minute on a stroke,
471
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:35.400
a good luck and on goal for.
472
00:24:35.519 --> 00:24:39.519
Seattle, and that was what made it one nil early
473
00:24:39.599 --> 00:24:41.680
on both versions ninety two nine the game in the
474
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.599
Odyssey app, Apple TV and Major League Soccer. Then you
475
00:24:45.839 --> 00:24:49.000
end up with the two goals that Seattle scores. You
476
00:24:49.160 --> 00:24:53.559
have the early goal in the second half, and then
477
00:24:53.599 --> 00:24:56.400
you have the goal by de Rosario. So it was
478
00:24:56.400 --> 00:24:59.039
Dela Vega who scored to make it one to one.
479
00:24:59.200 --> 00:25:02.359
Then it was de Rosario who scored it ninety plus
480
00:25:02.559 --> 00:25:06.000
five to make it two to one. And then three
481
00:25:06.119 --> 00:25:09.400
or four minutes however many were added on because remember
482
00:25:09.440 --> 00:25:11.960
Alexis to Silva had to come on for Remy two Shaan,
483
00:25:12.200 --> 00:25:14.519
and we'll get into injuries and all of that stuff too,
484
00:25:14.559 --> 00:25:18.039
with Bart coming up in our number two. But you
485
00:25:18.200 --> 00:25:24.279
have the referee transition and then you have five minutes
486
00:25:25.039 --> 00:25:28.480
go for another four. And so here's how the last
487
00:25:28.559 --> 00:25:32.200
chance the dance was for it Landy United and Mama,
488
00:25:32.240 --> 00:25:34.720
there goes that man again. We've already played the one
489
00:25:34.839 --> 00:25:37.599
version from Tony and Ross. So here's Mike and Jason
490
00:25:37.680 --> 00:25:39.480
ninety two nine in the game in the Odyssey, app
491
00:25:39.519 --> 00:25:41.599
am five nine at ninety plus nine.
492
00:25:42.400 --> 00:25:45.039
Sense it to the back post towards Amaron headed away.
493
00:25:45.119 --> 00:25:48.920
I knew who bounce out for a throw. They will
494
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:51.960
let Atlanta take it. It's thrown into Lennon. It gives
495
00:25:51.960 --> 00:25:54.720
it back to amarn me and to Moron Chuk. Top
496
00:25:54.759 --> 00:25:55.839
of the eighteen.
497
00:25:55.480 --> 00:25:56.319
Shots go.
498
00:25:58.319 --> 00:25:58.799
What so.
499
00:26:07.960 --> 00:26:11.000
Prob Russia with one.
500
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:14.960
Atlanta United, for the third time of their last four matches,
501
00:26:15.440 --> 00:26:16.839
steals a point.
502
00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:20.200
At the deaf AM five nine at ninety plus nine
503
00:26:20.240 --> 00:26:22.359
to make it two to two, and so Atlanta United
504
00:26:22.400 --> 00:26:25.680
once again gets a point from none, and that's how
505
00:26:25.680 --> 00:26:28.519
the match ends with a two to two draw. And
506
00:26:29.839 --> 00:26:33.880
going through all of the numbers, then the stats and
507
00:26:33.920 --> 00:26:36.640
the SOFA score and all that kind of stuff, we'll
508
00:26:36.680 --> 00:26:39.960
get into that here. So we had mentioned in the
509
00:26:40.000 --> 00:26:45.759
postgame show that it was nine shots to two in
510
00:26:45.839 --> 00:26:50.000
the first forty five minutes, Luke Brennan had the opportunity
511
00:26:50.000 --> 00:26:52.319
that hit the post flush, and I mean hit the
512
00:26:52.359 --> 00:26:56.039
post flush. I think that if that goes in, then
513
00:26:56.160 --> 00:26:59.039
obviously get we talk about game state a lot. I
514
00:26:59.039 --> 00:27:03.119
think the game state change with those with that particular
515
00:27:03.160 --> 00:27:05.279
shot or any of those other opportunities in the first
516
00:27:05.319 --> 00:27:07.599
forty five if that goes in, in addition to the
517
00:27:07.599 --> 00:27:10.039
one that bounces off of Yamar and goes into the net.
518
00:27:10.880 --> 00:27:14.640
On the day, Atlanta scoring slightly less than the overall
519
00:27:14.839 --> 00:27:17.319
courtesy of our friends at Sofa score. You're starting eleven
520
00:27:17.359 --> 00:27:22.400
Brad and net Pedro, Derek Steon and Ronald Hernandez a
521
00:27:22.480 --> 00:27:26.960
warrior back four. The three of the four that started
522
00:27:27.240 --> 00:27:29.680
scored a seven or a seven point one. Steon with
523
00:27:29.720 --> 00:27:31.680
the yellow card. Like I said, we'll get into that
524
00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:34.039
nowur number two ste On with the yellow card, he
525
00:27:34.160 --> 00:27:37.599
grated a little less on Sofa score. From the back
526
00:27:37.640 --> 00:27:40.400
four that were there, Bart had a six point eight,
527
00:27:40.680 --> 00:27:44.519
Tristan had a six point seven. You had Alexi at
528
00:27:44.519 --> 00:27:48.480
a seven to four. Obviously that was the game tying goal,
529
00:27:48.680 --> 00:27:51.839
plus everything else that he did on the day was
530
00:27:51.880 --> 00:27:53.880
why I gave him my player the match.
531
00:27:54.359 --> 00:27:55.200
Then up top.
532
00:27:55.279 --> 00:27:59.559
It was Luke Brennan, Miggy and Latte lott A Latte
533
00:27:59.559 --> 00:28:01.519
a lot of say point nine, Migia seven to one,
534
00:28:01.680 --> 00:28:05.279
Lucas seven to nine. We talked about Luke Brennan and
535
00:28:05.279 --> 00:28:06.920
what he was bringing to the table.
536
00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:09.799
So, uh, Luke, it'd be.
537
00:28:09.839 --> 00:28:12.960
Nice if I could actually, oh, I don't know, look
538
00:28:13.000 --> 00:28:15.079
at numbers and things, but you're not gonna let there
539
00:28:15.119 --> 00:28:19.319
we go, okay, so Luke goes seventy seven minutes. Saba
540
00:28:19.400 --> 00:28:22.039
came in for the end twenty five touches, thirteen of
541
00:28:22.079 --> 00:28:26.519
eighteen passing, had the one shot of well see, had
542
00:28:26.559 --> 00:28:29.279
one shot off target, one block and one hit the woodwork.
543
00:28:29.440 --> 00:28:32.160
He was three or four on his duels, fouled once
544
00:28:33.400 --> 00:28:35.200
and had the one off side. So that was Luke
545
00:28:35.240 --> 00:28:40.880
Brennan's day. Looking at the return for Steon Gregorson, Mihai
546
00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:44.680
came in in the sixty sixth minute and filled in
547
00:28:44.720 --> 00:28:47.680
for Gregorson for the final twenty plus five clearances for
548
00:28:47.759 --> 00:28:51.359
Steon on the day, three picks, two for five on
549
00:28:51.440 --> 00:28:55.480
his duels, he was fouled once and he had two fouls,
550
00:28:55.559 --> 00:28:59.680
so Stean Gregorson had two fouls. The first foul was
551
00:28:59.720 --> 00:29:02.960
a professional foul and he gets a yellow card in
552
00:29:02.960 --> 00:29:06.359
the fifth minute, and frankly, with that second card, the
553
00:29:06.359 --> 00:29:08.880
way that Remy Tushon had been officiating, it would not
554
00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:12.519
have surprised me if he would have awarded another yellow
555
00:29:12.519 --> 00:29:14.000
at that point. But like I said, it has nothing
556
00:29:14.039 --> 00:29:16.359
to do with Steon's behavior. It has more to do
557
00:29:16.480 --> 00:29:20.240
with Remy Touschon and his interpretation of what's been going
558
00:29:20.279 --> 00:29:20.680
with what was.
559
00:29:20.640 --> 00:29:21.519
Going on in the match.
560
00:29:21.920 --> 00:29:24.920
Fifty six touches for Steon, forty two to forty six,
561
00:29:25.000 --> 00:29:27.119
passing it ninety one percent two for three on long
562
00:29:27.160 --> 00:29:30.359
balls Derek. I want to get into Derek's numbers because
563
00:29:30.359 --> 00:29:32.960
of that, the long ball that created that helped create
564
00:29:33.000 --> 00:29:37.119
that first goal. Ninety minutes played full seven clearances for
565
00:29:37.240 --> 00:29:40.359
Derek on the afternoon, one block, two picks, two tackles,
566
00:29:40.799 --> 00:29:44.440
five of eight on his duels, seventy touches, fifty one
567
00:29:44.480 --> 00:29:47.200
to fifty seven passing and eighty nine percent five of
568
00:29:47.319 --> 00:29:49.559
nine on long balls for Derek on the afternoon.
569
00:29:49.640 --> 00:29:51.319
So busy day for him.
570
00:29:51.319 --> 00:29:54.559
And if you missed it with Alexi on the on
571
00:29:54.680 --> 00:29:56.440
the day seven point four.
572
00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:58.680
Obviously it was adjusted to a seven point four.
573
00:29:59.000 --> 00:30:02.240
I think it was a initially ninety minutes on the day,
574
00:30:02.279 --> 00:30:04.599
sixty two touches, forty one to forty nine passing and
575
00:30:04.640 --> 00:30:07.200
eighty four percent two key passes, four for six on
576
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.400
long balls, one shot on, one shot off, two shots blocked,
577
00:30:11.400 --> 00:30:13.279
one for three on the dribble, I had the one
578
00:30:13.319 --> 00:30:16.160
big chance that was missed. Three for six on his duels,
579
00:30:16.680 --> 00:30:19.799
and he had one clearance and one total tackle. To
580
00:30:19.880 --> 00:30:23.319
go with all of that, your stats on the day,
581
00:30:25.039 --> 00:30:27.039
and then once again, I look at stats and I
582
00:30:27.079 --> 00:30:29.319
sit there, and time of possession to me is like
583
00:30:29.359 --> 00:30:30.759
time of possession in college football.
584
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.559
I mentioned it on the postgame show. It's what you
585
00:30:33.720 --> 00:30:34.160
do with it.
586
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:39.000
You could run, you could have a run based offense.
587
00:30:39.279 --> 00:30:41.680
You could run wing T for all I care. You
588
00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:44.599
could run triple option. But if you don't score, it
589
00:30:44.680 --> 00:30:49.279
means nothing. All you're doing is chewing up clock. You
590
00:30:49.319 --> 00:30:52.079
could run spread and you could have virtually no time
591
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:55.880
of possession. But are you scoring points? So I look
592
00:30:55.880 --> 00:30:57.799
at time of possession, I'm kind of like, EH, doesn't
593
00:30:57.839 --> 00:30:58.440
really matter to me.
594
00:30:59.160 --> 00:30:59.279
Uh.
595
00:31:00.079 --> 00:31:02.359
In the overall, Once again, getting into the numbers, nine
596
00:31:02.400 --> 00:31:06.440
total shots in the first forty five compared to two
597
00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:10.799
for Seattle. One corner each Atlanta had less passes, but
598
00:31:10.839 --> 00:31:13.599
once again, it's what you do with it. Seventeen tackles
599
00:31:13.599 --> 00:31:16.440
in the first half, eleven for Seattle, twelve free kicks
600
00:31:16.440 --> 00:31:20.799
seven to Seattle, the one yellow card, one big chance
601
00:31:20.839 --> 00:31:24.160
missed for it Landa United. It was the one off side,
602
00:31:24.240 --> 00:31:26.960
fifty three percent on the duels twenty of thirty four
603
00:31:26.960 --> 00:31:27.599
to fourteen.
604
00:31:28.680 --> 00:31:29.319
Eight of.
605
00:31:31.359 --> 00:31:34.079
The thirteen in the air went to Atlanta United. Three
606
00:31:34.279 --> 00:31:37.920
attacks on the dribble compared to two total tackles. Once
607
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.000
again we mentioned the seventeen total tackles eleven of Seattle,
608
00:31:41.279 --> 00:31:46.319
thirteen picks seven to six Seattle, fifty eight recoveries thirty
609
00:31:46.319 --> 00:31:48.920
to twenty eight for Atlanta and Atlanta in the first
610
00:31:49.000 --> 00:31:52.559
Atlanta in the first half had fourteen clearances in the
611
00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:57.079
first half compared to five for Seattle. So in the
612
00:31:57.119 --> 00:32:00.319
overall you see how things come, how you thinks evolve
613
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:03.119
out nine to two, it goes to six four in
614
00:32:03.160 --> 00:32:05.599
the second half. Total shots thirteen eight by the time
615
00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:09.279
they were done, seven corners four to four, four to
616
00:32:09.359 --> 00:32:12.759
four Atlanta, a four for Seattle, three for Atlanta. Twenty
617
00:32:12.839 --> 00:32:14.920
four fouls called. And once again that's a mix of
618
00:32:14.960 --> 00:32:18.759
Toushan who was well below his season average, and Alexis
619
00:32:18.799 --> 00:32:23.160
de Silva slightly more passes for Seattle. Twenty nine tackles,
620
00:32:23.200 --> 00:32:26.799
sixteen for Seattle, twenty four free kicks, thirteen for Seattle.
621
00:32:27.160 --> 00:32:32.079
Four yellow cards once again yellow cards versus percentage of
622
00:32:32.119 --> 00:32:36.640
fouls called very very high in this match. Twenty touches
623
00:32:36.680 --> 00:32:40.200
inside the eighteen for Atlanta United, seventeen to four Seattle
624
00:32:40.519 --> 00:32:43.000
on the days, fifty to fifteen on your duels thirty
625
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:45.480
two each, thirteen of twenty four in the air won
626
00:32:45.559 --> 00:32:49.119
by Seattle. On the dribble it was eight of eighteen
627
00:32:49.200 --> 00:32:52.119
compared to four of eight. We mentioned the picks twelve
628
00:32:52.160 --> 00:32:55.920
eleven to Seattle, fifty one p fifty for Seattle. On
629
00:32:56.000 --> 00:32:58.880
recoveries twenty six, twenty five in clearances, most of those
630
00:32:58.920 --> 00:33:03.240
once again coming in the first half for Atlanta United.
631
00:33:03.319 --> 00:33:06.200
Here's Ronnie Dilah after the match. Just a little bit
632
00:33:06.279 --> 00:33:08.680
of what Ronnie had to say. It was pretty much
633
00:33:08.720 --> 00:33:12.480
the the opening salvo from the initial question from Doug
634
00:33:12.559 --> 00:33:18.000
Robertson of the AJAC discussing obviously pleased with the fact
635
00:33:18.039 --> 00:33:20.160
that your team continued to fight you end up with
636
00:33:20.200 --> 00:33:22.640
a two to two draw, but it was the fact
637
00:33:22.680 --> 00:33:24.920
that you had a one nil lead and you finished
638
00:33:24.920 --> 00:33:26.960
with a two to two draw. Here's Ronnie Diala from
639
00:33:26.960 --> 00:33:27.920
the post match presser.
640
00:33:28.480 --> 00:33:32.319
I'm frustrated about that, and I think a whole team
641
00:33:32.400 --> 00:33:36.160
are that. But again, we do so much good and uh,
642
00:33:36.640 --> 00:33:39.559
we have indecizes moment. We have not been good enough
643
00:33:39.640 --> 00:33:42.400
this season and today as well, we meet a very
644
00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:44.720
good team. I have to say that they organized, are
645
00:33:44.839 --> 00:33:48.240
good players, and we need to be very disciplined and
646
00:33:48.519 --> 00:33:50.319
good on the ball if we're gonna make something. I
647
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:52.759
think we played a very very good first off something
648
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:55.039
or the best we have done. They had nothing. We
649
00:33:55.160 --> 00:34:01.279
had three four good opportunities, and we should we created
650
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:03.400
more in that that period. I think we've had switched
651
00:34:03.400 --> 00:34:04.720
to play a little bit more, we little bit more
652
00:34:04.720 --> 00:34:06.759
patient and lost or of the pitch accurate in the
653
00:34:06.759 --> 00:34:09.199
lost pitch, I think we will get more chances than
654
00:34:09.239 --> 00:34:13.239
we had and I see in the end of the
655
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:16.039
first half we start to be a little bit more tired. Uh,
656
00:34:16.119 --> 00:34:18.079
and then you take that into the second half. I
657
00:34:18.119 --> 00:34:21.039
think that's that's what's happening. We have players that that
658
00:34:21.559 --> 00:34:24.000
drops in the second half, and then we we don't
659
00:34:24.039 --> 00:34:26.119
want the ball enough. We don't move en off and
660
00:34:26.159 --> 00:34:29.800
then they have the ball too much, and then we
661
00:34:29.920 --> 00:34:33.239
start to do go straight instead of switch. And when
662
00:34:33.239 --> 00:34:36.039
we switched it we had good opportunities. But today and
663
00:34:36.079 --> 00:34:39.039
we did that good in the many many coincidences in
664
00:34:39.119 --> 00:34:41.679
the game, but we started to play when we get tired,
665
00:34:41.719 --> 00:34:43.519
more straight balls and then we lose it too much
666
00:34:43.519 --> 00:34:45.519
and then we have to recover. So we need to
667
00:34:45.599 --> 00:34:48.199
keep the ball more against these kind of teams. This
668
00:34:48.360 --> 00:34:51.559
is the level, the top level in them. Less there's Seattle,
669
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:54.719
Columbus teams, Cincinnati.
670
00:34:56.039 --> 00:34:56.719
You can feel it.
671
00:34:56.880 --> 00:34:59.719
They are on that we are not so far away,
672
00:34:59.760 --> 00:35:02.079
but we are far away. And when we talk about points,
673
00:35:02.559 --> 00:35:05.000
but I think the three four games now, the performances
674
00:35:05.000 --> 00:35:08.960
are we look differently, we look better and I see
675
00:35:08.960 --> 00:35:10.800
improvement all the time. And that's the only thing I
676
00:35:10.840 --> 00:35:13.159
have to focus on, and that we we need to
677
00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:17.719
keep on working with the patterns that we had, the
678
00:35:17.920 --> 00:35:20.800
relationships inside it. Now it happens things on the right
679
00:35:20.840 --> 00:35:23.320
side happens a lot also on the left side now
680
00:35:23.320 --> 00:35:27.119
with will and distet come in good positions and Pedro
681
00:35:27.880 --> 00:35:30.519
and now it is a crossing situations. How we get
682
00:35:30.559 --> 00:35:34.039
more chances out of this opportunity and the defense live.
683
00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:35.079
We need to keep concentration.
684
00:35:35.280 --> 00:35:39.639
That's like you cannot play eighty five minutes and the defense
685
00:35:39.639 --> 00:35:43.159
you have to play nineteen and today it's the first
686
00:35:43.199 --> 00:35:45.840
goal is is a challenge there. It's the only bit
687
00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:49.639
on organized. Also we had was one outside there, so
688
00:35:49.639 --> 00:35:52.039
that's so we have to read that situation and win
689
00:35:52.079 --> 00:35:54.440
the challenge. And the second is across we have to stop.
690
00:35:54.480 --> 00:35:57.320
And then also we have three three against one in side.
691
00:35:57.320 --> 00:35:59.039
I say the box as well. So it's isn't these
692
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:05.239
things we have talked about times, but but I see improvement,
693
00:36:05.639 --> 00:36:10.639
pressings better and we have more organized than the well
694
00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:11.760
be creating more.
695
00:36:12.400 --> 00:36:15.199
To Ronnie's point, to a point that's been made in
696
00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:18.440
the twitch pitch, Yeah, Steon was boxed out by Bruce
697
00:36:18.519 --> 00:36:24.079
Knock on the long ball that was creating the opportunity
698
00:36:24.719 --> 00:36:28.119
for Dela Vega to go and be a part of
699
00:36:28.159 --> 00:36:30.079
the three v one where Derek was caught back.
700
00:36:30.239 --> 00:36:33.280
But yeah, rus Knock basically boxed.
701
00:36:32.920 --> 00:36:38.920
Out Steon and prevented Steon from getting back to improve
702
00:36:38.960 --> 00:36:41.400
the odds a little bit on that on that breakaway
703
00:36:41.400 --> 00:36:44.199
after the bounce, and so that was why Derek was
704
00:36:44.280 --> 00:36:46.880
kind of left to his lonesome back there. Uh but well,
705
00:36:46.920 --> 00:36:49.519
like I said, you know, credit to Albert Rusknock for
706
00:36:50.320 --> 00:36:54.559
seeing that Steon was backtracking and creating an issue to
707
00:36:54.599 --> 00:36:57.760
where he made it difficult and then nay impossible for
708
00:36:58.079 --> 00:36:59.880
Stean Gregorson to come back to help out in the
709
00:37:00.239 --> 00:37:03.920
on that goal for you know, for Seattle with Pedro
710
00:37:04.000 --> 00:37:07.800
del Vega that even things up at won And to
711
00:37:08.239 --> 00:37:10.760
Ronnie's point, there were a couple of things that stuck
712
00:37:10.800 --> 00:37:11.400
out to me.
713
00:37:13.119 --> 00:37:13.920
You know, they're in.
714
00:37:15.559 --> 00:37:21.880
Both Maddie's conversation that she had with him and that
715
00:37:21.880 --> 00:37:25.119
that you heard there in the the opening little bit
716
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:30.039
of the press post match press conference, he did say
717
00:37:30.159 --> 00:37:33.199
Ronnie did say that they were tired. You can't defend
718
00:37:33.199 --> 00:37:36.880
for eighty five and he did say that they seemed
719
00:37:36.920 --> 00:37:37.519
a bit tired.
720
00:37:37.559 --> 00:37:38.360
And I think that.
721
00:37:38.360 --> 00:37:41.800
You look at all of the effort that they presented
722
00:37:42.440 --> 00:37:46.360
defensively and trying to create opportunities in that first twenty
723
00:37:46.400 --> 00:37:50.440
five minutes, and I think that that probably contributed to it.
724
00:37:50.480 --> 00:37:53.000
All that effort that you spent early came back and
725
00:37:53.039 --> 00:37:56.800
got you later. But it was you saw in that
726
00:37:56.840 --> 00:37:59.800
first half trying to create turnovers, trying to create short fields,
727
00:37:59.800 --> 00:38:02.199
and I opportunities. You saw that out of Atlanta United.
728
00:38:02.480 --> 00:38:05.119
It's just that they got the one, they didn't get
729
00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:08.440
the second, and the opportunities were there and that didn't
730
00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:12.239
quite happen. So, you know, losing the ball too easily,
731
00:38:12.559 --> 00:38:16.920
getting caught on mistakes. We mentioned that with Stean. He
732
00:38:17.000 --> 00:38:19.559
thinks that he thought in the conversation with Maddy, thought
733
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:23.440
that they deserved the draw, but they felt like that
734
00:38:23.480 --> 00:38:25.400
they should have won the game. They are getting better,
735
00:38:25.480 --> 00:38:28.719
especially with timing. They thought that me Hi was steady,
736
00:38:29.079 --> 00:38:30.920
and like I said, this is Matt the conversation that
737
00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:33.760
Maddie then carrying into the postgame comments, thought that me
738
00:38:33.840 --> 00:38:36.480
Hi was steady in his first twenty five minutes and
739
00:38:37.280 --> 00:38:38.000
that was, like I.
740
00:38:37.920 --> 00:38:40.079
Said, that's what our buddy Nino Torres has told us.
741
00:38:39.960 --> 00:38:44.239
About Naomi High, is that he's going to be steady
742
00:38:44.280 --> 00:38:48.599
for you the Honda Accord of center backs. So you're
743
00:38:48.599 --> 00:38:52.599
looking to that coming up with me High as he continues,
744
00:38:52.639 --> 00:38:57.119
and you saw some of the leadership and the taking
745
00:38:57.199 --> 00:39:00.320
charge that we are used to seeing on the tapes,
746
00:39:00.360 --> 00:39:05.320
and then the intelligence reports on me High and going
747
00:39:05.400 --> 00:39:07.840
into the second goal.
748
00:39:07.880 --> 00:39:09.000
I know that it was a point.
749
00:39:08.760 --> 00:39:13.000
That Abe made on the full Time Report where you
750
00:39:13.320 --> 00:39:16.480
have the conversation between me High and Brooks and I
751
00:39:16.519 --> 00:39:19.519
don't know if something got lost or what have you,
752
00:39:19.559 --> 00:39:23.039
but it was just it was new teammates together trying
753
00:39:23.079 --> 00:39:26.280
to have a conversation and directing traffic. And then it
754
00:39:26.400 --> 00:39:30.039
ends up with the Rosario going around Derek Williams and
755
00:39:30.519 --> 00:39:33.039
getting the getting to the ball before Derek before the
756
00:39:33.159 --> 00:39:35.320
Rosario puts it in the net that then made it
757
00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:39.760
to one before it Land United got to chase after
758
00:39:39.880 --> 00:39:45.760
the the eventual game tying goal. He did Ronnie did
759
00:39:45.800 --> 00:39:49.400
mention the relationships between Luke, Tristan and Pedro on the
760
00:39:49.519 --> 00:39:52.679
left and then Minan, Chuck Niggi and Ronald Hernandez on
761
00:39:52.719 --> 00:39:58.920
the right. I would if if you've got time, go
762
00:39:59.039 --> 00:40:01.320
back and listen to the interview that Maddie and Jason
763
00:40:01.320 --> 00:40:04.760
did with Ronald postmatch on the Full Time Report, and
764
00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:11.719
it gets you. It reinforces what we've thought about Ronald. Basically,
765
00:40:11.880 --> 00:40:13.480
it's like, tell me what you need me to do,
766
00:40:14.039 --> 00:40:16.440
and I'll go do it. And like I said, Ronald
767
00:40:16.440 --> 00:40:18.719
was one of the highest grades at the back for
768
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:24.039
Atlanta United defensively and playing at right back to start
769
00:40:24.119 --> 00:40:27.960
against Seattle, so that's a requested required listening is to
770
00:40:28.000 --> 00:40:30.079
go back to the full time report listening to the conversation.
771
00:40:30.119 --> 00:40:32.599
I think it was in the third block, and I
772
00:40:32.639 --> 00:40:34.599
may pull it and we may play it tomorrow. If
773
00:40:34.679 --> 00:40:36.159
you don't have the chance to listen to it, I
774
00:40:36.199 --> 00:40:38.880
may pull that interview and we'll play it tomorrow. Is
775
00:40:38.920 --> 00:40:42.960
a part of looking back at the rest of Major League,
776
00:40:43.039 --> 00:40:46.000
at the rest of Major League Soccer, and with Lanta United,
777
00:40:46.079 --> 00:40:48.000
Ronnie did say that he thought that the pressing game
778
00:40:48.039 --> 00:40:49.280
was better, and like I said, it goes back to
779
00:40:49.280 --> 00:40:50.960
that first twenty five minutes. I would agree to that,
780
00:40:51.880 --> 00:40:56.559
and I would agree that the pressing game it was better,
781
00:40:56.679 --> 00:41:02.320
creating opportunities for Atlanta United, especially first forty five. Luke
782
00:41:02.559 --> 00:41:04.639
in the postgame and the full time report, in the
783
00:41:04.679 --> 00:41:07.400
interview that we had getting to know Tristan a little better,
784
00:41:07.440 --> 00:41:13.239
building chemistry there, feeling better with composure with reps and
785
00:41:13.599 --> 00:41:19.119
holding the ball and not just sitting there and just
786
00:41:19.159 --> 00:41:21.159
smashing it forward. It's like I've got it. I've got
787
00:41:21.159 --> 00:41:23.800
to do something with it. Luke, you noticed in the
788
00:41:23.840 --> 00:41:28.960
match this past weekend, becoming more composed, more comfortable with
789
00:41:28.960 --> 00:41:32.000
the relationships on the left hand side, and actually pausing
790
00:41:32.039 --> 00:41:35.199
a little bit to think and force the opponent to
791
00:41:35.239 --> 00:41:37.239
think as well. It's like, Okay, what's Luke gonna do
792
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:39.760
with it? And that comes with experience and we're seeing
793
00:41:39.840 --> 00:41:43.039
that where Luke is getting better every single time, and
794
00:41:43.079 --> 00:41:46.159
he is also he is also he was causing problems
795
00:41:46.480 --> 00:41:51.039
with Yeamar. Yeamar was chirping to whoever the center f
796
00:41:51.280 --> 00:41:53.480
was and basically then when the match was over to
797
00:41:53.519 --> 00:41:57.960
all four refs, Uh, Luke got under Yamar's skin. Luke
798
00:41:57.960 --> 00:42:00.519
gets under everybody's skin. And that's been one of the
799
00:42:00.519 --> 00:42:03.440
fun things to see that. Uh, Luke will run at you,
800
00:42:03.519 --> 00:42:06.880
Louc will try to create problems. Lucal draw fowls and
801
00:42:07.599 --> 00:42:10.000
Luke and Luke and Yamar. I think Yamar was having
802
00:42:10.000 --> 00:42:12.880
his hands full with Luke Brennan as a part of
803
00:42:12.920 --> 00:42:18.840
what was going on. Uh, speaking of that left hand side,
804
00:42:19.519 --> 00:42:21.400
Speaking of the left hand side, I wanted to bring
805
00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:25.360
this up. One better call supposed to supposedly next couple
806
00:42:25.400 --> 00:42:28.800
of days he'll be getting integrated with at Lanty United.
807
00:42:28.880 --> 00:42:31.159
I think it's going to be a couple of weeks
808
00:42:31.199 --> 00:42:32.400
before we see better call.
809
00:42:32.480 --> 00:42:35.840
At the back uh paperwork and stuff.
810
00:42:36.599 --> 00:42:39.760
Layo Fonso you don't have to worry about that because
811
00:42:39.920 --> 00:42:43.159
Alfonso being in Major League Soccer coming in. I think
812
00:42:43.159 --> 00:42:45.320
he was drafted, if memory serves, he was drafted by
813
00:42:45.400 --> 00:42:50.719
Chris Henderson out of Virginia. So Leofonso coming in to
814
00:42:50.760 --> 00:42:54.360
be a part of the future for Atlanta United. And
815
00:42:54.400 --> 00:43:00.440
this was pointed out by Franco Ponzzo, And it was
816
00:43:01.519 --> 00:43:08.360
interesting to see how things are kind of going for
817
00:43:08.480 --> 00:43:14.360
Messi and friends these days. The deal so yesterday afternoon,
818
00:43:14.480 --> 00:43:17.800
so two was it two o'clock?
819
00:43:18.440 --> 00:43:21.519
So it was it six? So wait nineteen five?
820
00:43:21.599 --> 00:43:25.320
So about two two fifteen, two thirty yesterday afternoon, the
821
00:43:25.320 --> 00:43:27.440
deal was official, according to Franco. And you saw it
822
00:43:27.519 --> 00:43:31.960
Landy United post, you know, welcome Leo. Here's what Franco
823
00:43:32.000 --> 00:43:36.519
Ponzzo said about the trade and about how Messi and
824
00:43:36.519 --> 00:43:41.480
Friends have been doing business recently. So Miami, Sorry, Abbe
825
00:43:41.559 --> 00:43:45.079
Fort Lauderdale, Messi and friends. Messi and Friends send a
826
00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:49.360
Lala Fonso and two hundred and twenty five thousand dollars
827
00:43:49.360 --> 00:43:54.320
in gam to it Land United for an international slot.
828
00:43:54.679 --> 00:43:59.280
Presuming that the international slot is for Rodrigo de Paul Elmotrcito.
829
00:44:00.960 --> 00:44:03.320
So does that mean that he is a Montrecito Madman.
830
00:44:04.480 --> 00:44:07.199
But anyway, so here's the first part of the deal.
831
00:44:08.599 --> 00:44:13.199
Messi and friends send a Fonso and two hundred and
832
00:44:13.239 --> 00:44:17.360
twenty five thousand dollars in AM for an international slot.
833
00:44:17.480 --> 00:44:22.239
So now this probably has jacked up the rate for
834
00:44:22.280 --> 00:44:25.679
an international slot amongst lead league transactions. So good on
835
00:44:25.760 --> 00:44:30.199
Atlanta United for driving up the market. Afonso and two
836
00:44:30.320 --> 00:44:33.280
hundred and twenty five thousand dollars in GAM for an
837
00:44:33.320 --> 00:44:39.119
international slot a couple days ago. Late last week, Messi
838
00:44:39.159 --> 00:44:44.159
and friends traded an international roster slot to Portland for
839
00:44:44.280 --> 00:44:48.400
one hundred and thirty five thousand dollars in GAM, assuming
840
00:44:48.440 --> 00:44:51.119
that they needed the GAM to help pay for Rodrigo
841
00:44:51.199 --> 00:44:51.880
to Paul.
842
00:44:51.679 --> 00:44:55.519
In a league structure, and then they're gonna work.
843
00:44:55.519 --> 00:44:57.159
It's like, we'll figure it, we'll figure it out, we'll
844
00:44:57.159 --> 00:44:58.599
get him in the door, we'll figure it out later.
845
00:45:00.000 --> 00:45:04.239
I think that's where this was headache. We need AM. Okay, well,
846
00:45:04.280 --> 00:45:06.719
what do we do. Well, let's trade an international slot.
847
00:45:06.840 --> 00:45:08.800
What kind of resources do we have? What we've got
848
00:45:08.800 --> 00:45:14.159
an international slot? Okay, so let's trade that to Portland
849
00:45:14.800 --> 00:45:18.559
and then we'll get some We'll get some GAM. So
850
00:45:18.639 --> 00:45:24.559
you did that, so you got some GAM for an
851
00:45:24.599 --> 00:45:30.440
international slot. Then you send a player and more GAM
852
00:45:30.440 --> 00:45:34.360
than you brought in for the international slot that you lost,
853
00:45:34.480 --> 00:45:38.760
so you could presumably bring in Rodrigo de Paul. Over
854
00:45:38.800 --> 00:45:43.559
the span of say three days, two transactions from Messi
855
00:45:43.639 --> 00:45:50.760
and friends, they spend ninety thousand dollars in GAM and
856
00:45:50.840 --> 00:45:58.519
move a player on. Desperate teams and eagle eyed front
857
00:45:58.519 --> 00:46:04.400
office folks. That's what Messi and friends did the last
858
00:46:04.400 --> 00:46:07.400
couple of days to bring in a player and then
859
00:46:07.519 --> 00:46:12.000
create some space. They spent money, they spent league money,
860
00:46:12.039 --> 00:46:15.360
they spent they spent garber bucks, but they spend garber
861
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:19.599
bucks to move a player along so they could bring
862
00:46:19.639 --> 00:46:22.920
in another player. And like I said, I I don't there.
863
00:46:23.199 --> 00:46:27.039
I think they're interrelated. I don't know how many other
864
00:46:27.039 --> 00:46:30.599
folks think they're interrelated. But you've got to bring in
865
00:46:31.000 --> 00:46:33.280
you've got to bring in gam. You've got to bring
866
00:46:33.320 --> 00:46:37.559
in am event of some description so you can pay
867
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:40.639
for the player who's a loan and then, as we anticipated,
868
00:46:40.639 --> 00:46:42.280
it's a loan deal this year, and then you're paying
869
00:46:42.320 --> 00:46:45.440
him as a DP later on unless you buy down
870
00:46:45.440 --> 00:46:48.159
other folks and he's a high tam or what have you.
871
00:46:48.199 --> 00:46:51.400
But I think the plan is to buy him down.
872
00:46:51.800 --> 00:46:53.519
He's a loan deal for the rest of this season
873
00:46:53.519 --> 00:46:56.679
because it's only what a third of the year. So
874
00:46:56.840 --> 00:46:59.920
you pro rate some Garber bucks to pay rod r
875
00:47:00.159 --> 00:47:03.559
Go to Paul this year. We'll gladly pay you this year,
876
00:47:03.599 --> 00:47:05.239
and we'll pay you more for the next three in
877
00:47:05.280 --> 00:47:12.079
the deal. So you needed that money first. You need
878
00:47:12.079 --> 00:47:18.000
the international slot first money be damned, and that's what
879
00:47:18.079 --> 00:47:23.280
you ended up doing. You send it an international slot
880
00:47:23.440 --> 00:47:26.559
for gam so you could bring in Rodrigo to Paul
881
00:47:26.800 --> 00:47:30.519
and pay for him. Oh crap, we need an international slot.
882
00:47:33.280 --> 00:47:39.320
Chris Henderson comes knocking on your door. Hey, how about this, dude,
883
00:47:39.559 --> 00:47:45.880
and we'll give you an international slot. You give us
884
00:47:45.880 --> 00:47:53.760
some gam too, so Atlanta Nighted could probably make more deals.
885
00:47:53.519 --> 00:47:56.280
That's the That's the kind of stuff that Messi and
886
00:47:56.320 --> 00:47:59.000
friends have to do these days to kind of fit
887
00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:03.719
folks under the cap. I give them full credit for
888
00:48:05.199 --> 00:48:08.000
trying to figure out how to be this imaginative. Plus
889
00:48:08.079 --> 00:48:09.960
the notion of hey, do you want to play with
890
00:48:10.239 --> 00:48:15.559
Lano Messi, which basically I think is how every conversation starts.
891
00:48:17.000 --> 00:48:21.360
Leo wants you to come play with him. Okay, what
892
00:48:21.400 --> 00:48:23.000
do you want it, Well, what do we need to do, Well,
893
00:48:23.039 --> 00:48:25.559
we'll figure it out. Just come on over and we'll
894
00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:27.960
figure it out. I think that's basically how all the
895
00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:30.480
conversations go. Hey, come on over, we'll figure it out.
896
00:48:32.920 --> 00:48:36.880
And apparently Messi and the Boss were on the cam
897
00:48:36.920 --> 00:48:40.679
for the Coldplay concert that that they went to go
898
00:48:40.719 --> 00:48:44.000
see the other day. But yes, the creative financing a
899
00:48:44.039 --> 00:48:46.199
one oh one that has to be done currently in
900
00:48:46.280 --> 00:48:49.920
Fort Lauderdale to make ends meet as they as they
901
00:48:50.079 --> 00:48:55.800
race toward trying to win things this year. I just
902
00:48:55.840 --> 00:49:00.639
thought it was intriguing that you had to after you
903
00:49:00.719 --> 00:49:04.480
had sold away or traded away. You traded away an
904
00:49:04.480 --> 00:49:06.920
international slot for gam to pay for a player. Then
905
00:49:06.920 --> 00:49:08.480
you've got to figure out how to put the player
906
00:49:09.360 --> 00:49:14.400
in under your designations. So you end up getting an
907
00:49:14.400 --> 00:49:16.840
international slot, but you have to overpay for it because
908
00:49:16.840 --> 00:49:19.760
you really need it, and you ended up sacrificing a
909
00:49:19.760 --> 00:49:21.360
player out of the deal who really wouldn't getting a
910
00:49:21.360 --> 00:49:26.360
whole lot of playing time. It's very very it's smart business,
911
00:49:26.920 --> 00:49:33.719
as the kids say, smart business, keeping an eye on things.
912
00:49:34.320 --> 00:49:38.440
I mean, just to give you an idea about Lao
913
00:49:38.480 --> 00:49:44.039
Afonso when it comes to stats and numbers and things
914
00:49:45.880 --> 00:49:49.920
like officially official stuff. This year, Alfonso wasn't getting a
915
00:49:49.960 --> 00:49:56.360
whole lot of work. I'm literally having to go all
916
00:49:56.400 --> 00:49:58.320
the way down to the bottom of the page. Laoe
917
00:49:58.320 --> 00:50:06.840
Afonso played in three matches this year, one start, eighty
918
00:50:06.920 --> 00:50:11.079
nine minutes total. Twice he was a sub. Obviously, he
919
00:50:11.119 --> 00:50:16.159
didn't score in any of the matches, passing percentage at
920
00:50:16.199 --> 00:50:23.159
seventy one percent, but three matches.
921
00:50:23.679 --> 00:50:30.800
A winger for three matches, and.
922
00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:32.440
Then that was kind of part and parcel as to
923
00:50:32.440 --> 00:50:34.119
why they had to bring up a body of reda
924
00:50:34.679 --> 00:50:37.360
from Messi and friends too to help fill out roster space.
925
00:50:39.280 --> 00:50:42.679
Probably doing that going forward just a bit. But yeah,
926
00:50:42.760 --> 00:50:49.440
Leola Fonso three matches this season. He was named to
927
00:50:49.519 --> 00:50:51.280
the Team of the match day. By the way, at
928
00:50:51.320 --> 00:50:56.840
one point last year game winning goal in the victory
929
00:50:56.840 --> 00:51:01.960
over Philadelphia. Joined the first team in April of last year,
930
00:51:03.639 --> 00:51:06.199
got his first goal then, but this year has not
931
00:51:06.320 --> 00:51:12.760
been playing eleven matches last year, one start, two goals.
932
00:51:13.400 --> 00:51:17.480
This year three matches, one start, eighty nine minutes, one shot,
933
00:51:21.159 --> 00:51:26.159
four fouls, whistled one against in the yellow card. So
934
00:51:27.199 --> 00:51:30.599
somebody who was not getting minutes sitting on the bench
935
00:51:33.159 --> 00:51:35.679
and he sat on the bench for a lot of matches.
936
00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:40.840
Last time he was active in a match from Messian
937
00:51:40.880 --> 00:51:50.360
Friends as a sub. Made the tenth against Minnesota. Started
938
00:51:50.599 --> 00:51:55.480
for Messian Friends two. Played sixty seven minutes April twenty
939
00:51:55.519 --> 00:51:57.559
seventh against Dallas. That's where he got the bulk of
940
00:51:57.559 --> 00:52:05.960
his minutes. Started for the twos April tenth. Literally, that's it.
941
00:52:07.920 --> 00:52:11.920
He's been sitting on the bench. I mean he might
942
00:52:11.960 --> 00:52:14.079
have a he might have had a memorial chair at
943
00:52:14.079 --> 00:52:17.039
the Erector set, or at least a chair that was
944
00:52:17.079 --> 00:52:21.000
familiar with him. Oh, this is Leo. He's coming over
945
00:52:21.039 --> 00:52:28.760
to sit down. Alfonso didn't play, didn't play starter, next Pro,
946
00:52:29.000 --> 00:52:32.960
this is his season. This is Leel Afonso's season, And
947
00:52:33.039 --> 00:52:37.880
this is Chris Henderson seeing something that could be of value.
948
00:52:38.039 --> 00:52:42.840
And he's also making league men. His contract is up
949
00:52:42.840 --> 00:52:44.840
at the end of this year, but he has options
950
00:52:44.840 --> 00:52:51.719
for the next two seasons. Substitute, substitute starter, next Pro
951
00:52:52.760 --> 00:53:00.119
substitute starter, first team substitute starter, next Pro substitut to
952
00:53:00.280 --> 00:53:01.239
Major League Soccer.
953
00:53:01.400 --> 00:53:02.079
Made the tent.
954
00:53:04.320 --> 00:53:11.159
Listed as a sub ever since then hadn't played. So
955
00:53:13.480 --> 00:53:16.360
Chris Henderson sees someone who can attack from the wing
956
00:53:18.679 --> 00:53:23.760
and Leo Alfonso, takes him off of the hands of
957
00:53:23.800 --> 00:53:29.880
his old franchise, gets money out of the deal, money
958
00:53:29.920 --> 00:53:36.880
and a player for an international spot. So that's Chris
959
00:53:36.920 --> 00:53:40.719
Henderson wheeling and dealing right now. So better call probably
960
00:53:40.719 --> 00:53:49.159
a couple weeks away Layoefonso in house, so we'll see
961
00:53:49.639 --> 00:53:54.159
what the latest is there about that integration and going
962
00:53:54.199 --> 00:54:01.199
back and checking on the rumor train of Stephen Alsat
963
00:54:04.079 --> 00:54:11.000
going back to the end of last week listed as
964
00:54:11.039 --> 00:54:18.159
an eminent departure, but nothing new, listed as an eminent
965
00:54:18.199 --> 00:54:25.440
departure and an expected departure all the things, and so
966
00:54:25.480 --> 00:54:28.800
it's listed at one point five one point five million
967
00:54:28.840 --> 00:54:32.239
pounds I think another five hundred thousand add ons. Whole
968
00:54:32.320 --> 00:54:36.800
Daily Mail had an article that was posted late last week.
969
00:54:37.519 --> 00:54:40.800
The Whole Daily Mail literally almost a week ago had
970
00:54:40.880 --> 00:54:43.960
Alsat heading for a whole city exit Columbian midfielder set
971
00:54:44.000 --> 00:54:45.960
for moved to Atlanta.
972
00:54:46.440 --> 00:54:47.800
So that's what you're staring at there.
973
00:54:47.880 --> 00:54:50.320
That's the keep an eye on the Steven alsatte remember
974
00:54:50.360 --> 00:54:54.760
Wasserman as a part of the stick, and keep an
975
00:54:54.800 --> 00:54:58.760
eye on all of that. Our number two that means
976
00:54:58.760 --> 00:55:00.880
one thing is where we get to do discuss everything
977
00:55:00.920 --> 00:55:04.079
that angers me on a weekly basis, especially when it
978
00:55:04.079 --> 00:55:06.559
comes to the inconsistencies of folks that have whistles and
979
00:55:06.679 --> 00:55:09.719
cards on their person. And it's time to bring in
980
00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:11.960
Bart Keeler from the Soccer for US pod where we
981
00:55:12.000 --> 00:55:15.119
talk about the Euros and card calls a Happy Monday,
982
00:55:15.199 --> 00:55:17.199
Come up, part explamation.
983
00:55:16.800 --> 00:55:19.679
Point Happy Monday, John. How are we today? Oh?
984
00:55:19.800 --> 00:55:23.960
It's look, apparently it went home. We have to talk
985
00:55:24.000 --> 00:55:24.519
about that.
986
00:55:25.480 --> 00:55:28.760
The home it went or stayed rather, maybe that's the
987
00:55:29.199 --> 00:55:30.360
terminology for today.
988
00:55:30.639 --> 00:55:35.039
Yes, and so where were you taking? Where were you
989
00:55:35.079 --> 00:55:37.320
taking in said match? Were you having were you having
990
00:55:37.320 --> 00:55:40.960
a live or were you Were you actually watching this match?
991
00:55:41.039 --> 00:55:41.519
Yesterday?
992
00:55:41.639 --> 00:55:43.840
I was watching at Joe Lene Joe Lene, the new
993
00:55:43.840 --> 00:55:47.280
women's sports bar in town with a packed house.
994
00:55:47.119 --> 00:55:50.639
I might add, so very nice to see that. Yeah,
995
00:55:50.679 --> 00:55:53.280
it was entertaining.
996
00:55:53.360 --> 00:55:55.039
I mean I think that you could look at a
997
00:55:55.519 --> 00:55:58.599
game that ends one to one and go eh, all right,
998
00:55:58.639 --> 00:56:01.000
that was fine, But there were chances.
999
00:56:01.119 --> 00:56:03.199
Both teams had the penalty kicks.
1000
00:56:03.320 --> 00:56:06.519
This time at least the goalkeepers saved them that they
1001
00:56:06.519 --> 00:56:10.280
weren't just bad penalty kicks. Cad A Coal especially had
1002
00:56:10.320 --> 00:56:16.639
two saves that were really phenomenal. And it it stayed home, John,
1003
00:56:16.679 --> 00:56:18.519
I don't think that it's.
1004
00:56:20.480 --> 00:56:20.719
Look.
1005
00:56:20.760 --> 00:56:25.400
I think when you look at this tournament, you look
1006
00:56:25.440 --> 00:56:28.639
at Spain, you look at England, and you go okay,
1007
00:56:28.679 --> 00:56:31.840
these are clearly two of the best teams in the world.
1008
00:56:33.119 --> 00:56:37.599
England has a problem with showing it super consistently, but
1009
00:56:37.679 --> 00:56:40.920
they've made three finals in a row, one two of them.
1010
00:56:41.280 --> 00:56:44.519
Spain has made two finals in a row, only one one.
1011
00:56:45.320 --> 00:56:46.119
And I'll just.
1012
00:56:46.079 --> 00:56:49.199
Again add that until the Women's World Cup in twenty
1013
00:56:49.239 --> 00:56:53.679
twenty three, Spain had never won a knockout match in
1014
00:56:53.719 --> 00:56:57.079
an international tournament. So, despite what you know, people who
1015
00:56:57.119 --> 00:57:00.840
started watching the game in twenty twenty three believe Spain
1016
00:57:00.960 --> 00:57:05.400
has not been a pre eminent powerhouse in this game.
1017
00:57:05.519 --> 00:57:09.239
Barcelona has been really good because they faced zero competition
1018
00:57:09.280 --> 00:57:12.360
from their league, but they have been able to in
1019
00:57:12.400 --> 00:57:16.400
the last half decade put together a team that knows
1020
00:57:16.400 --> 00:57:19.360
how to win and how to play tournament style soccer.
1021
00:57:19.400 --> 00:57:22.159
They were just slightly unfortunate to not get the job
1022
00:57:22.199 --> 00:57:25.639
done on Sunday. They probably had a couple more chances
1023
00:57:25.639 --> 00:57:28.000
that should have found the back of the net than
1024
00:57:28.400 --> 00:57:32.599
England did, but you got to make your penalty kicks, so.
1025
00:57:32.559 --> 00:57:36.199
Then what would you say this this says? What would
1026
00:57:36.239 --> 00:57:39.679
you say this says about montseetme and what she has
1027
00:57:39.719 --> 00:57:43.119
been able to do as the head coach there in Spain.
1028
00:57:43.360 --> 00:57:45.519
I mean, I think she's kept the level where it
1029
00:57:45.559 --> 00:57:50.199
needs to be. Spain is also in the semi finals.
1030
00:57:50.280 --> 00:57:52.800
That's where we're at of Nations League. That'll be in
1031
00:57:52.840 --> 00:57:57.519
October and November, semi finals and finals. So for me,
1032
00:57:58.480 --> 00:58:00.760
she's kept it at the level that it it was
1033
00:58:00.800 --> 00:58:01.639
supposed to be at.
1034
00:58:01.880 --> 00:58:02.039
Right.
1035
00:58:02.679 --> 00:58:06.079
Look again, you make a final, I think yes, you
1036
00:58:06.079 --> 00:58:11.480
could say, oh, we should have won. That's not how
1037
00:58:11.519 --> 00:58:15.400
finals work. Unfortunately, you know, yes they could have.
1038
00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:17.840
Yes, they had plenty of chances.
1039
00:58:17.880 --> 00:58:20.119
They just didn't get it done the way that they
1040
00:58:20.159 --> 00:58:23.440
did back in twenty twenty three. Where again it's not
1041
00:58:23.480 --> 00:58:26.639
like they blew the doors off England either. So these
1042
00:58:26.639 --> 00:58:29.239
two teams are fairly well mashed. I think they're a
1043
00:58:29.280 --> 00:58:34.400
good example of what modern football should look like. Specifically,
1044
00:58:34.400 --> 00:58:36.039
if you want to look at England, you're probably going
1045
00:58:36.119 --> 00:58:38.559
to see a lot of characteristics that will ring true
1046
00:58:38.599 --> 00:58:40.159
for our women's national team in.
1047
00:58:40.159 --> 00:58:43.800
The way that they try to play with purposeful.
1048
00:58:43.239 --> 00:58:45.719
Possession, play with full possession.
1049
00:58:45.960 --> 00:58:48.280
Yeah, not just having the ball to have the ball,
1050
00:58:48.280 --> 00:58:53.039
which Spain sometimes runs into that problem. But I think
1051
00:58:53.079 --> 00:58:57.760
Monsey Tome has kept the level as expected for Spain. Again,
1052
00:58:58.679 --> 00:59:01.679
it got to a final right and and looked darn
1053
00:59:01.760 --> 00:59:05.159
good getting to the final. They're into the semi finals
1054
00:59:05.199 --> 00:59:07.599
of Nations League. I would expect them to probably be
1055
00:59:07.639 --> 00:59:08.559
in the final as well.
1056
00:59:09.719 --> 00:59:10.400
Those are.
1057
00:59:12.519 --> 00:59:16.000
That is the standard Spain expects right now. You know
1058
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:22.159
who's not in a semi final. It's England.
1059
00:59:19.480 --> 00:59:25.400
England. We only do that when they're not performing well.
1060
00:59:25.480 --> 00:59:29.440
Yeah, yeah, Nick breaks that down and then then he'll
1061
00:59:29.480 --> 00:59:30.920
he'll bust that out better than anybody.
1062
00:59:30.920 --> 00:59:31.679
But exactly.
1063
00:59:32.199 --> 00:59:34.159
But but that I think is is a testament to
1064
00:59:34.199 --> 00:59:37.239
the level that Spain has kept and I think tomy
1065
00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:39.360
Is is a big part of that.
1066
00:59:40.159 --> 00:59:44.280
When since we're we're on uh Spain at the moment,
1067
00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:49.400
I don't think you can mention Spain. There are a
1068
00:59:49.440 --> 00:59:51.519
couple of different ways that I want to look at this.
1069
00:59:51.599 --> 00:59:53.320
I want to look at bone, Mattie, I want to
1070
00:59:53.320 --> 00:59:56.639
look at on a battlea. I want to look at
1071
00:59:56.679 --> 01:00:01.079
the keeper and what we've seen from then technically really
1072
01:00:01.119 --> 01:00:04.920
both keepers cuddling a call and uh, Hannah Hampton, I
1073
01:00:04.960 --> 01:00:06.880
do want to look at them and their performance. And
1074
01:00:06.920 --> 01:00:09.559
if anybody has not had the chance to read the
1075
01:00:09.679 --> 01:00:12.280
article about Hannah Hampton, I think it's in the athletic
1076
01:00:13.239 --> 01:00:16.519
and how she is doing what she's doing on the
1077
01:00:16.519 --> 01:00:21.119
world stage with the lack of I think it's the
1078
01:00:21.199 --> 01:00:22.280
lack of depth perception.
1079
01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:23.000
I think it is.
1080
01:00:24.119 --> 01:00:27.320
Yeah, I mean it's an amazing ocular issue. Yeah, the
1081
01:00:27.599 --> 01:00:29.920
ocular issue that she has and that she's able to
1082
01:00:29.960 --> 01:00:31.119
function the way that she does.
1083
01:00:31.760 --> 01:00:32.880
Uh, so we.
1084
01:00:32.800 --> 01:00:35.800
Can talk about since you were talking about Spain, we
1085
01:00:35.920 --> 01:00:42.599
can get into bon Monty battle. Uh there's a bunch
1086
01:00:42.599 --> 01:00:44.480
of different talking points with Spain. Where do you want
1087
01:00:44.480 --> 01:00:45.320
to go first.
1088
01:00:45.400 --> 01:00:48.440
Well, let's talk bon Manti. My bestest friend who I've
1089
01:00:48.559 --> 01:00:51.920
been lucky to meet in life like a drive by,
1090
01:00:52.039 --> 01:00:56.480
Hey take a photo with me on the street, so Wellington.
1091
01:00:58.519 --> 01:01:03.840
She is, look, I think ballandor winner.
1092
01:01:05.280 --> 01:01:09.800
I think, quite honestly, the most deserving of anyone out there.
1093
01:01:10.159 --> 01:01:11.280
When you look at what she.
1094
01:01:11.599 --> 01:01:17.559
Consistently produces, I think, if you're gonna get real, you know, technical,
1095
01:01:17.599 --> 01:01:20.639
I think there's only one player who probably could could
1096
01:01:20.639 --> 01:01:22.400
beat her out for a bolland or and that sort
1097
01:01:22.400 --> 01:01:27.000
of spin Spain teammate. But not club teammate Marianna cal Dente,
1098
01:01:27.039 --> 01:01:30.400
who has put together a great season in her own
1099
01:01:30.480 --> 01:01:33.480
right and scored the goal of this game. So I think,
1100
01:01:33.599 --> 01:01:35.800
if you want to look at bon Mati, she's great,
1101
01:01:36.199 --> 01:01:42.639
but there's a couple other Spaniards who it's just so impressive, John,
1102
01:01:43.119 --> 01:01:49.800
how across the board there are playmakers for this team.
1103
01:01:50.599 --> 01:01:54.360
Bon Mati is the engine that keeps them running though,
1104
01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:55.960
and I think that's what makes her so important to
1105
01:01:55.960 --> 01:01:59.599
the Spain team is how she I mean, the goal
1106
01:01:59.639 --> 01:02:02.320
she scored in the semi final was a fantastic bit
1107
01:02:02.400 --> 01:02:09.159
of just raw talent combined with supreme intelligence, right, and
1108
01:02:09.199 --> 01:02:11.440
I think that describes her so well. She is a
1109
01:02:11.519 --> 01:02:16.920
smart but technically savvy, h and physically fit player. I mean,
1110
01:02:16.960 --> 01:02:20.360
the woman was in the hospital just like fl like
1111
01:02:20.519 --> 01:02:23.960
you know, seventy two hours before their opener and played
1112
01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:26.360
in that game, which you know, I wouldn't have personally
1113
01:02:26.400 --> 01:02:29.360
played her, but I understand maybe a little bit the
1114
01:02:29.400 --> 01:02:32.360
logic by making sure she can do it. But that's
1115
01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:36.440
impressive and for her to be, i mean, essentially a
1116
01:02:36.480 --> 01:02:40.920
total mainstay for Spain in this tournament outside of the opener,
1117
01:02:42.039 --> 01:02:44.880
speaks a hell of a lot to her mental and
1118
01:02:44.920 --> 01:02:45.840
physical fortitude.
1119
01:02:46.599 --> 01:02:49.559
Yes, and so it was.
1120
01:02:49.800 --> 01:02:54.599
It was fun to see called dente Peteus bon Monty.
1121
01:02:54.800 --> 01:02:57.880
Butla call. I mean it's a it's a fun it's
1122
01:02:57.920 --> 01:02:58.599
a fun group.
1123
01:02:59.000 --> 01:03:04.559
Watch it is, and I think that's they're fun in
1124
01:03:04.639 --> 01:03:05.199
a different way.
1125
01:03:05.360 --> 01:03:07.559
I will continue to say that the US women's national
1126
01:03:07.599 --> 01:03:09.480
team is right up there with the talent level that
1127
01:03:09.519 --> 01:03:13.719
Spain has, especially when at our fullest potential.
1128
01:03:13.880 --> 01:03:15.360
Right but.
1129
01:03:17.639 --> 01:03:21.159
Sorry, but but Spain has a different level.
1130
01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:23.000
Of talent, and I think the fact that they get
1131
01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:26.000
to play together for the most part in their club.
1132
01:03:26.800 --> 01:03:30.519
Does give them an advantage that the US will just
1133
01:03:30.559 --> 01:03:31.039
never have.
1134
01:03:32.480 --> 01:03:34.960
The US is not going to be a national team
1135
01:03:35.000 --> 01:03:38.320
that has a bunch of their women play on the
1136
01:03:38.360 --> 01:03:42.880
same club team because NWSL is vastly different than what
1137
01:03:42.960 --> 01:03:44.880
LaLiga is or any real European team.
1138
01:03:45.000 --> 01:03:45.199
Yeah.
1139
01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:51.360
Even if you look at the the England team, right,
1140
01:03:51.400 --> 01:03:53.280
I mean, it's it's a lot of Chelsea, it's a
1141
01:03:53.280 --> 01:03:55.239
lot of Arsenal, and then you've got a couple of
1142
01:03:55.280 --> 01:04:02.599
the Manchester's strown in right now that I think reads
1143
01:04:02.599 --> 01:04:06.039
good competition within the league, which I'll always prefer league
1144
01:04:06.079 --> 01:04:09.199
competition over a bunch of players who play together.
1145
01:04:09.320 --> 01:04:12.840
But what Barcelona is able to do to help the.
1146
01:04:12.840 --> 01:04:16.960
Spanish national team with bon Monty, with potas with Keina,
1147
01:04:17.119 --> 01:04:21.599
with Catacle, with the entire back line, is is really
1148
01:04:21.599 --> 01:04:24.000
helpful and I think that helps with the continuity. I mean,
1149
01:04:24.039 --> 01:04:26.599
obviously all the coaches I think who have been for
1150
01:04:26.679 --> 01:04:28.960
the Spanish national team have come out of some sort
1151
01:04:29.000 --> 01:04:30.480
of Barcelona connection as well.
1152
01:04:31.119 --> 01:04:32.360
There's no surprise there.
1153
01:04:33.159 --> 01:04:36.159
On the England side. And this is two separate ways
1154
01:04:36.199 --> 01:04:43.280
to address this particular topic. Aside from having removed James
1155
01:04:43.320 --> 01:04:46.320
in the fortieth minute, how do you not start Chloe killing?
1156
01:04:49.480 --> 01:04:52.679
I think Serena Viegman is known for having her preferred
1157
01:04:52.679 --> 01:04:56.960
lineup and then she also has kind of a prescribed
1158
01:04:57.119 --> 01:04:59.559
preferred set of subs and Chloe Kelly happens to be
1159
01:04:59.639 --> 01:05:03.039
one of them. You could argue that Chloe Kelly is
1160
01:05:03.079 --> 01:05:11.079
able to be so impactful, yeah, because James is running
1161
01:05:11.079 --> 01:05:14.320
at back lines for well, this case there's only forty
1162
01:05:14.360 --> 01:05:16.559
but a lot of times sixty to seventy to eighty minutes,
1163
01:05:16.880 --> 01:05:22.519
and that allows Chloe Kelly to attack just tired legs.
1164
01:05:23.000 --> 01:05:27.760
But hard to argue with Chloe Kelly's production and an
1165
01:05:27.800 --> 01:05:33.920
impact on the field for the English national team. She
1166
01:05:34.079 --> 01:05:36.559
got the winner in twenty twenty well twenty twenty two
1167
01:05:37.559 --> 01:05:39.840
and then scores the ceiling.
1168
01:05:39.519 --> 01:05:42.960
Goal penalty kick for this one. It's it's pretty impressive.
1169
01:05:44.119 --> 01:05:47.800
She It's sad because you could tell immediately when she
1170
01:05:47.800 --> 01:05:51.119
came onto the field the upgrade England had of the attack.
1171
01:05:51.559 --> 01:05:57.159
And it's concerning that Lauren James was that hurt and playing.
1172
01:05:57.719 --> 01:06:01.719
But sometimes what a FI I don't have to you know, requires.
1173
01:06:01.280 --> 01:06:03.079
The people on the day.
1174
01:06:03.239 --> 01:06:07.599
Chloe Kelly seven point six highest rated player, tied with
1175
01:06:08.039 --> 01:06:11.280
Williamson at the back as a position player. Obviously Hannah
1176
01:06:11.320 --> 01:06:13.639
Hampton with an eight point two. She had the highest
1177
01:06:13.719 --> 01:06:16.760
rating for SOFA score. Chloe, you got to do a
1178
01:06:16.800 --> 01:06:19.840
lot this game, John, Yes, she did. We'll get seventy
1179
01:06:19.920 --> 01:06:22.480
nine minutes, one assist, one shot on, one shot off,
1180
01:06:23.440 --> 01:06:26.079
one penalty kick, shootout goal, thirty one touches for Chloe
1181
01:06:26.159 --> 01:06:29.599
Kelly eight to thirteen in passing, two key passes, three
1182
01:06:29.599 --> 01:06:32.159
of five on crosses, one big chance created, two for
1183
01:06:32.239 --> 01:06:35.320
six on her ground duels, three clearances, have pick, two
1184
01:06:35.360 --> 01:06:37.880
tackles and three dribbles passed. So that gets into what
1185
01:06:37.960 --> 01:06:40.639
Chloe Kelly was responsible for in that matchup.
1186
01:06:42.480 --> 01:06:45.199
Look, As an Arsenal fan, I'm very glad we sealed
1187
01:06:45.199 --> 01:06:46.039
the deal on that one.
1188
01:06:46.280 --> 01:06:50.559
I mean that sincerely. It was. We were very fortunate
1189
01:06:50.599 --> 01:06:51.400
to get her on the loan.
1190
01:06:51.480 --> 01:06:53.119
I think she is a big reason why we ended
1191
01:06:53.199 --> 01:06:58.840
up winning the Champions League, and if I can put
1192
01:06:58.880 --> 01:07:00.480
some bets down right now, I think she would be
1193
01:07:00.519 --> 01:07:02.239
a big reason why we win the league next year.
1194
01:07:02.719 --> 01:07:06.039
Yes, and obviously that's my over confident.
1195
01:07:06.119 --> 01:07:07.920
The season hasn't started. Arsenal voice.
1196
01:07:08.400 --> 01:07:10.199
Hey, wone asked me about the men's team, because I
1197
01:07:10.280 --> 01:07:13.719
might over I might burst with confidence, which is a
1198
01:07:13.920 --> 01:07:16.079
very dangerous space for an Arsenal fan to be.
1199
01:07:17.199 --> 01:07:21.119
Hey, look, I know, and we're getting into that. Hannah Hampton.
1200
01:07:22.239 --> 01:07:25.519
We mentioned that she was the highest rated player on
1201
01:07:25.559 --> 01:07:27.199
the day. Yes, she had a whole lot of work
1202
01:07:27.239 --> 01:07:29.920
to do. So here here's her numbers. Obviously, she plays
1203
01:07:29.960 --> 01:07:32.920
the full one twenty four saves, one punch clear, two
1204
01:07:32.960 --> 01:07:35.960
for two on her runouts, three saves inside the eighteen
1205
01:07:36.079 --> 01:07:38.960
two pk saves, sixty six touches, twenty nine to fifty three,
1206
01:07:39.000 --> 01:07:42.320
passing at fifty five percent, thirteen to thirty seven on
1207
01:07:42.480 --> 01:07:45.559
long balls. That they that is an insane number of
1208
01:07:45.599 --> 01:07:49.159
attempts for me, I'm looking at one hundred and twenty minutes.
1209
01:07:49.199 --> 01:07:52.840
Also thirteen to thirty seven long balls, two clears on
1210
01:07:52.880 --> 01:07:55.760
the day. Hannah Hampton, Yes, she she, Both she and
1211
01:07:56.000 --> 01:07:57.960
Colleena call were very very busy.
1212
01:07:58.039 --> 01:07:58.239
Sir.
1213
01:07:59.480 --> 01:08:01.960
Yeah, I think I do want to talk about Hampton
1214
01:08:02.000 --> 01:08:05.679
because she wasn't the starter for this team a month
1215
01:08:05.719 --> 01:08:13.719
and a half ago due to retirements. You know, Mary
1216
01:08:13.719 --> 01:08:17.359
Ours was supposed to be the starter, who is by
1217
01:08:17.399 --> 01:08:22.399
all accounts a fantastic goalkeeper, and Hampton, you know, she's
1218
01:08:22.720 --> 01:08:28.119
been the starter for Chelsea. But even then, I'll just
1219
01:08:28.159 --> 01:08:30.079
say it, I don't think she ever was like that
1220
01:08:31.399 --> 01:08:36.239
super convincing starter at Chelsea. I think it's fair to
1221
01:08:36.239 --> 01:08:39.840
say she had a shaky first game against France and
1222
01:08:40.720 --> 01:08:43.119
I personally was wondering, Okay, how did she win the
1223
01:08:43.119 --> 01:08:45.479
starting job? And I mean because you have two other
1224
01:08:45.560 --> 01:08:50.960
goalkeepers on the England back line. Who one who started
1225
01:08:51.000 --> 01:08:53.680
for a league champion last year that's Morehouse who plays
1226
01:08:53.680 --> 01:08:58.560
for Orlando Pride. And then you also have from Manchester
1227
01:08:58.640 --> 01:09:04.199
City and a trophy win goalkeeper in Kara Keating that
1228
01:09:04.520 --> 01:09:10.159
is a phenomenal shot stopper. So like that alone is
1229
01:09:10.319 --> 01:09:15.359
is I think a testament to Hampton's mental toughness that
1230
01:09:15.399 --> 01:09:19.000
she won this job and kept it because it could
1231
01:09:19.000 --> 01:09:22.199
have been very easy. After the France match, the first
1232
01:09:22.199 --> 01:09:25.119
time Savannah Wiegman has ever lost a match at the
1233
01:09:25.159 --> 01:09:27.800
Euros by the way to say, okay, well we're going
1234
01:09:27.840 --> 01:09:31.600
to go with someone different, because I don't know how
1235
01:09:31.640 --> 01:09:34.039
subtled the actual starting position was at that point, but
1236
01:09:34.079 --> 01:09:38.960
apparently it was, and she lived up to that that
1237
01:09:39.079 --> 01:09:42.439
call to be the savior for England a couple times
1238
01:09:42.439 --> 01:09:42.960
in that game.
1239
01:09:43.520 --> 01:09:43.880
Well.
1240
01:09:44.119 --> 01:09:49.439
And also the idea of I'm guessing it's stickham or
1241
01:09:49.479 --> 01:09:51.319
whatever it was, but you got to put your notes
1242
01:09:51.319 --> 01:09:54.119
where you ever put your notes, right, I mean Jordan
1243
01:09:54.199 --> 01:09:57.960
Pickford does it on the water bottle, and Hannah Hampton
1244
01:09:58.319 --> 01:10:01.640
apparently had it written down yep. And you get the
1245
01:10:01.800 --> 01:10:03.840
you get the stick them working, and you post you
1246
01:10:04.000 --> 01:10:05.920
do your post it note right here and then you
1247
01:10:05.920 --> 01:10:08.079
put you put your you put your keeper jersey over
1248
01:10:08.119 --> 01:10:10.479
that and you sit there and apparently the physio had
1249
01:10:10.520 --> 01:10:15.119
to like cut a cut a seam to where to
1250
01:10:15.279 --> 01:10:17.840
actually get to where you could tuck the arm up
1251
01:10:17.920 --> 01:10:20.359
to put the stick them down, to put your notes down,
1252
01:10:20.600 --> 01:10:22.359
to put your sleep back down. Just you can sit
1253
01:10:22.399 --> 01:10:24.079
there and look at your notes and everybody's else is
1254
01:10:24.079 --> 01:10:26.159
sitting there kind of looking at it, going okay, and
1255
01:10:26.199 --> 01:10:28.239
then so Hannah Hampton's like, I got my notes.
1256
01:10:28.399 --> 01:10:30.760
I'm just sorry. I'm just reading. So just adjusting my sleever,
1257
01:10:30.880 --> 01:10:31.560
that's all I'm doing.
1258
01:10:31.560 --> 01:10:34.479
So uh one of the more unique ways to to
1259
01:10:34.600 --> 01:10:38.000
keep your notes, get your cliffs notes in the situationally.
1260
01:10:37.479 --> 01:10:41.520
Yeah uh, like you said, people do it the way
1261
01:10:41.520 --> 01:10:41.960
they need to.
1262
01:10:42.279 --> 01:10:48.600
Uh huh so uh huh yeah yeah so uh, gamesmanship
1263
01:10:48.680 --> 01:10:50.359
and all that and studying.
1264
01:10:50.399 --> 01:10:51.720
Hey, as long as if there ain't no.
1265
01:10:51.680 --> 01:10:53.920
Rule on it, then you're gonna do what you're gonna
1266
01:10:53.920 --> 01:10:57.399
do to get the get the advantage. And speaking of which,
1267
01:10:57.520 --> 01:11:01.119
rules of the game, Laws of the game, that was
1268
01:11:01.199 --> 01:11:05.239
one heck of a divot that Beth Mead had in
1269
01:11:05.640 --> 01:11:08.039
her in her first p K. So if you would
1270
01:11:08.079 --> 01:11:11.960
please serve for those that are not familiar with this adjustment,
1271
01:11:12.399 --> 01:11:13.079
two things.
1272
01:11:13.199 --> 01:11:14.079
When it comes to.
1273
01:11:14.399 --> 01:11:18.439
Kick, please please elaborate on what folks saw if they
1274
01:11:18.479 --> 01:11:19.600
were initially confused.
1275
01:11:19.840 --> 01:11:22.159
All right, well, if you want to follow along, you
1276
01:11:22.159 --> 01:11:27.079
can go to your I fab Laws of the Game, which,
1277
01:11:27.119 --> 01:11:30.319
by the way, is where we're going to find the
1278
01:11:30.439 --> 01:11:35.399
protocol for penalty kicks. And this is a new modification
1279
01:11:35.479 --> 01:11:39.119
to the laws of the game where if you have
1280
01:11:39.479 --> 01:11:43.199
a what essentially accounts to a double touch, kicking it
1281
01:11:43.239 --> 01:11:47.840
twice instead of it being a nullified and.
1282
01:11:50.119 --> 01:11:51.840
A nullified goal penalty kick, and.
1283
01:11:51.840 --> 01:11:54.960
Then what used to be an indirect free kick coming out,
1284
01:11:56.079 --> 01:11:59.479
you get to retake it if the ball enters the
1285
01:11:59.479 --> 01:12:02.800
back of the net. So had Beth meat either it
1286
01:12:02.960 --> 01:12:06.079
saved or she missed, we don't retake it.
1287
01:12:06.319 --> 01:12:07.239
Yeah, But because she.
1288
01:12:07.840 --> 01:12:11.840
Shanked it to the back of the net, uh, and
1289
01:12:12.159 --> 01:12:14.119
it was very clear that it affected it. I think
1290
01:12:14.159 --> 01:12:15.840
that was the other thing is you could see that
1291
01:12:15.880 --> 01:12:19.000
it came off of her plant foot and that.
1292
01:12:20.640 --> 01:12:21.880
Misdirected it the other way.
1293
01:12:23.359 --> 01:12:27.840
I I will say, I'm a little curious about the
1294
01:12:28.119 --> 01:12:30.439
because the way I had it explained is that there
1295
01:12:30.479 --> 01:12:33.439
are sensors and these balls, obviously these match balls have sensors,
1296
01:12:33.479 --> 01:12:35.359
and then that's how they have the goal line technology
1297
01:12:35.359 --> 01:12:39.239
and everything. Apparently that's how they're able to determine that right,
1298
01:12:39.319 --> 01:12:43.640
same with like a handball, I think as well, But
1299
01:12:45.279 --> 01:12:47.279
I don't understand how you couldn't just do a quick
1300
01:12:47.399 --> 01:12:50.199
var check of this period and just you know, use
1301
01:12:50.239 --> 01:12:52.680
the videotape to go, oh yeah, he definitely did you know,
1302
01:12:52.760 --> 01:12:56.760
like I think that was the Athletico Madrid this.
1303
01:12:56.680 --> 01:12:58.119
Year, last year.
1304
01:12:58.159 --> 01:13:03.039
I'm trying to remember Julian Alvarez last season Champions League.
1305
01:13:03.479 --> 01:13:05.119
Yea, Julian Alvarez is double yeah.
1306
01:13:05.159 --> 01:13:06.359
Okay, so Alasa So.
1307
01:13:09.840 --> 01:13:12.600
For this one, Beth mead, she touches it twice. But
1308
01:13:12.640 --> 01:13:14.840
why can't we just I mean, sure we need to
1309
01:13:14.840 --> 01:13:17.640
sence there, that's fine, but like us video to look
1310
01:13:17.680 --> 01:13:17.920
at it.
1311
01:13:18.520 --> 01:13:21.239
I don't know, John, but.
1312
01:13:21.239 --> 01:13:24.319
This was this was an update from that incident last
1313
01:13:24.359 --> 01:13:27.279
year where now instead of it being a nullified and
1314
01:13:27.319 --> 01:13:29.880
we have an infraction that results in an inter a
1315
01:13:29.960 --> 01:13:32.840
free kick, we just take the kick over again. Now
1316
01:13:33.239 --> 01:13:36.560
where this does deviate from the loss of the game
1317
01:13:36.640 --> 01:13:40.760
is typically if you have a double touch free kick, right,
1318
01:13:41.560 --> 01:13:46.199
then you do have what would be an endrek free
1319
01:13:46.239 --> 01:13:48.239
kick for the opposing team.
1320
01:13:50.319 --> 01:13:54.880
There you go, okay, uh, then you end up with
1321
01:13:55.479 --> 01:14:00.319
Chloe Kelly with I mean, if we thought that Joseph
1322
01:14:00.800 --> 01:14:07.079
had a unique approach when it came to pks, Chloe Kelly,
1323
01:14:08.159 --> 01:14:11.960
Chloe Kelly got her a real unique and interesting way
1324
01:14:11.960 --> 01:14:14.600
to look at things. It's like high knee lit It's
1325
01:14:14.600 --> 01:14:17.039
like she's like mister Wrestling two with the high knee
1326
01:14:17.039 --> 01:14:19.880
lift and then all that kind of stuff that has
1327
01:14:19.880 --> 01:14:22.199
got to be I do not envy keepers in this
1328
01:14:22.279 --> 01:14:26.880
situation because of the whole start stop nature of PK's
1329
01:14:27.000 --> 01:14:28.960
and all of the movement and all this kind of stuff.
1330
01:14:28.960 --> 01:14:32.000
I do not envy them with the current with the
1331
01:14:32.039 --> 01:14:33.800
current laws of the game being what they.
1332
01:14:33.640 --> 01:14:37.399
Are, I will say this.
1333
01:14:37.600 --> 01:14:40.840
I will say this, Yeah, I think this is not
1334
01:14:41.039 --> 01:14:45.520
as problematic as the true start stop, sorry stop.
1335
01:14:45.800 --> 01:14:48.920
Yeah, this is a I would argue.
1336
01:14:50.439 --> 01:14:52.239
If I were to, if Bart were to Waiven's magic
1337
01:14:52.279 --> 01:14:55.319
Wind and be able to make a law change, you
1338
01:14:55.399 --> 01:14:58.920
would have to have a once you start your run up,
1339
01:14:58.960 --> 01:15:02.279
you cannot stop it or whatever. This would fit into
1340
01:15:02.279 --> 01:15:04.840
that in my opinion, because she just loves her leg
1341
01:15:04.920 --> 01:15:08.039
up high and then kind of does her run up.
1342
01:15:08.079 --> 01:15:14.119
There's no real stop, right. But I think this is
1343
01:15:13.239 --> 01:15:19.920
a really good psychological thing, I think more than anything
1344
01:15:19.960 --> 01:15:27.359
for the kicker, because I think I think of it
1345
01:15:27.439 --> 01:15:30.800
a little bit like free throws in the fact that
1346
01:15:30.880 --> 01:15:33.800
a lot of NBA players have like a very.
1347
01:15:35.399 --> 01:15:40.600
It may not seem like it's super in depth.
1348
01:15:41.199 --> 01:15:43.239
But a lot of NBA players, a lot of basketball players,
1349
01:15:43.239 --> 01:15:45.800
a lot of tennis players as well, have a routine
1350
01:15:45.840 --> 01:15:49.199
that they go through before a free throw or a serve, right,
1351
01:15:49.279 --> 01:15:53.720
I know, like I do. I played tennis for well
1352
01:15:53.880 --> 01:15:57.920
a long time and I still I've now started playing
1353
01:15:57.920 --> 01:16:00.760
pickleball a little bit, and I have the same kind
1354
01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:03.159
of routine even when I played like ping pong, Right, yeah,
1355
01:16:03.560 --> 01:16:06.920
I have a service routine. Yep, This to me is
1356
01:16:07.000 --> 01:16:08.880
very much like that. Now, obviously you don't, you know,
1357
01:16:08.960 --> 01:16:12.319
a service routine happens every point when you're serving. This
1358
01:16:12.439 --> 01:16:14.720
is a you know, you do it every once in
1359
01:16:14.720 --> 01:16:16.680
a while type thing. Hopefully you're not doing it at.
1360
01:16:16.640 --> 01:16:18.439
All like.
1361
01:16:19.520 --> 01:16:21.840
Chloe Kelly, and it's a like a forty it's a
1362
01:16:21.840 --> 01:16:25.399
forty yard piece. It's like I'm gonna lift my knee
1363
01:16:25.399 --> 01:16:27.199
and go and scene you know.
1364
01:16:27.479 --> 01:16:30.359
Yeah, yeah, I don't think you know, she's not doing
1365
01:16:30.359 --> 01:16:35.680
it for that, But this is a she actually does
1366
01:16:36.000 --> 01:16:39.079
the little ball flick, by the way, for corner kicks.
1367
01:16:39.079 --> 01:16:40.560
I don't know if you mentioned that. She like she
1368
01:16:40.720 --> 01:16:42.439
kind of does the ball spin three times.
1369
01:16:42.600 --> 01:16:43.560
Okay, still does that on.
1370
01:16:43.800 --> 01:16:46.840
Her corner kicks, But I think it's a psychological thing
1371
01:16:47.039 --> 01:16:52.199
for the kicker to create a routine so that they
1372
01:16:52.920 --> 01:16:57.399
have some some level of consistency and control in that moment.
1373
01:16:57.479 --> 01:16:59.720
This goes into sports psych If you want to talk
1374
01:16:59.720 --> 01:17:01.479
about that, go get a degree in that, or go
1375
01:17:01.520 --> 01:17:04.039
take a class at a local community college, because it
1376
01:17:04.119 --> 01:17:09.279
is quite interesting the benefits of routine.
1377
01:17:09.520 --> 01:17:10.239
Yeah.
1378
01:17:10.319 --> 01:17:15.119
I had a conversation once with Jack Llewellyn, and Jack
1379
01:17:15.279 --> 01:17:18.079
is a was a longtime sports psychologist and he helped
1380
01:17:18.079 --> 01:17:22.640
out the Braves in their glory years, and he would
1381
01:17:22.640 --> 01:17:29.199
talk to placekickers in National Football League and he would
1382
01:17:29.760 --> 01:17:32.960
go to their habits and have those be those trigger
1383
01:17:33.000 --> 01:17:36.680
words like you're going to approach something. And there was
1384
01:17:36.800 --> 01:17:41.119
one particular player who he consulted, big Golfer, like scratch golfer,
1385
01:17:41.800 --> 01:17:45.119
and he gave him the word birdie as like something
1386
01:17:45.159 --> 01:17:49.279
to think about when he's out there playing football getting
1387
01:17:49.399 --> 01:17:52.560
ready to kick a field goal or kick a ball
1388
01:17:52.600 --> 01:17:55.920
in a key moment, think birdie in your approach because
1389
01:17:55.960 --> 01:17:59.239
that's you know, successful going up against the scorecard in golf.
1390
01:17:59.279 --> 01:18:01.560
And so it's those kinds of things that you see
1391
01:18:01.600 --> 01:18:04.640
with sports psychologists that are those kinds of trigger words
1392
01:18:04.640 --> 01:18:05.000
as well.
1393
01:18:06.880 --> 01:18:08.439
Yeah, I mean again, we are.
1394
01:18:09.039 --> 01:18:12.960
Visualization is a great tool, and I think that goes
1395
01:18:13.000 --> 01:18:16.520
to that as like, hey, you're thinking about we're doing
1396
01:18:16.520 --> 01:18:20.079
this in a positive way, you know. I'm sure again
1397
01:18:21.279 --> 01:18:24.960
I'll speak to this from again my own kind of standpoint.
1398
01:18:25.000 --> 01:18:28.800
I do on occasion take penalty kicks and I'm not thinking, oh,
1399
01:18:28.800 --> 01:18:30.920
I'm going to miss. I'm thinking, Okay, I'm gonna put
1400
01:18:30.920 --> 01:18:33.760
this right here and I'm gonna score. Little things like
1401
01:18:33.840 --> 01:18:36.880
that are what I think people don't realize make professional
1402
01:18:36.880 --> 01:18:40.840
athletes successful. And I think Chloe Kelly is a great
1403
01:18:40.880 --> 01:18:45.560
example of both a routine working in your favor and
1404
01:18:45.600 --> 01:18:47.920
then what clearly is a mindset, because even the one
1405
01:18:47.960 --> 01:18:52.079
that she missed right against Italy, well she still scored it.
1406
01:18:53.039 --> 01:18:53.159
HM.
1407
01:18:53.920 --> 01:18:58.680
So are Mary ERPs and Millie Bright going to regret
1408
01:18:58.720 --> 01:18:59.960
walking out on their team?
1409
01:19:00.239 --> 01:19:00.319
No?
1410
01:19:00.640 --> 01:19:01.319
I don't think so.
1411
01:19:01.439 --> 01:19:04.319
I think ARP seems to be a little bit more
1412
01:19:04.680 --> 01:19:07.600
of a personal decision.
1413
01:19:07.680 --> 01:19:08.640
She said she was done.
1414
01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:12.920
Now regret maybe, but like, I don't think they're going
1415
01:19:12.960 --> 01:19:15.319
to be that. I think Arp's had reached her point
1416
01:19:15.319 --> 01:19:17.359
where she thought it was time for her to back away.
1417
01:19:17.680 --> 01:19:19.800
Milly Bright maybe, but I mean I think it's fair
1418
01:19:19.840 --> 01:19:24.640
to say that that was a mutual parting.
1419
01:19:24.680 --> 01:19:26.640
I think she realized she wasn't going to be playing
1420
01:19:26.720 --> 01:19:32.199
the role she had in previous tournaments, and that's on her.
1421
01:19:32.319 --> 01:19:34.520
But no, I mean, I think they're going to be
1422
01:19:34.560 --> 01:19:37.359
the biggest cheerleaders for this team. And honestly, one of
1423
01:19:37.439 --> 01:19:39.840
the things that I think has been a positive over
1424
01:19:39.880 --> 01:19:46.159
the past five years, not blackout, but other people have
1425
01:19:46.279 --> 01:19:50.279
encouraged women's soccer players to decouple the national team and
1426
01:19:50.359 --> 01:19:54.720
club team careers and so you're able to retire from
1427
01:19:54.720 --> 01:19:56.760
the national team understanding like, hey, I'm not at that
1428
01:19:56.920 --> 01:20:00.000
level anymore at thirty one, thirty two, thirty three years,
1429
01:20:00.319 --> 01:20:03.199
but yeah, I can still play club ball. And so
1430
01:20:03.279 --> 01:20:06.399
I think, especially for Mellie Bright, I think she'll be
1431
01:20:06.520 --> 01:20:09.960
fine in her club career going forward, but probably okay
1432
01:20:09.960 --> 01:20:15.479
to not have the demands and extra stress on her
1433
01:20:15.520 --> 01:20:17.880
body that a national team career.
1434
01:20:18.359 --> 01:20:22.159
What'sign you And Lucy Brown's played the entire euro with
1435
01:20:22.199 --> 01:20:23.439
a broken tibia.
1436
01:20:25.039 --> 01:20:28.399
She's a Yeah, apparently she's a different type of human.
1437
01:20:30.039 --> 01:20:30.680
She really is.
1438
01:20:31.359 --> 01:20:34.199
That is aggressive though, I mean that is hockey player level.
1439
01:20:34.479 --> 01:20:35.840
Yeah, toughness.
1440
01:20:36.640 --> 01:20:39.760
Quote after the match, I've actually played the whole tournament
1441
01:20:39.760 --> 01:20:43.159
with a fractured tibia, but no one knew then. I've
1442
01:20:43.199 --> 01:20:45.720
just hurt my knee today on the other leg. I
1443
01:20:45.760 --> 01:20:47.319
think that's why I got a lot of praise from
1444
01:20:47.319 --> 01:20:49.159
the girls after the Sweden game, because I've been in
1445
01:20:49.159 --> 01:20:50.680
a lot of pain. But that's what it takes to
1446
01:20:50.680 --> 01:20:54.880
play for England. That's what I'll do. I think we
1447
01:20:54.920 --> 01:20:57.119
inspire each other by playing through things like that, and
1448
01:20:57.119 --> 01:20:58.840
they got us to the end of them in the end.
1449
01:20:58.880 --> 01:21:01.000
It was very painful, but I'm a party and kind
1450
01:21:01.039 --> 01:21:01.760
of enjoy it.
1451
01:21:01.840 --> 01:21:02.239
That's it.
1452
01:21:04.239 --> 01:21:07.039
Yeah, Weirdly, the pain goes away when you're when you've
1453
01:21:07.479 --> 01:21:10.680
lifted a trophy. But I mean, John ninety minutes against France,
1454
01:21:10.760 --> 01:21:13.319
eighty four against the Netherlands. Her shortest game seventy nine
1455
01:21:13.319 --> 01:21:14.239
minutes against Whales.
1456
01:21:15.600 --> 01:21:18.600
Yeah, on a on a broken tib.
1457
01:21:18.880 --> 01:21:22.239
Yeah, on a okay, not a complete fracture. Still, Abby,
1458
01:21:22.319 --> 01:21:25.439
I don't want to play a two back to back
1459
01:21:25.439 --> 01:21:28.600
one hundred twenty minute games on a cracked fibia. That
1460
01:21:28.640 --> 01:21:31.000
doesn't sound great. And then one hundred and five against Spain.
1461
01:21:31.119 --> 01:21:33.840
So yeah, her shortest outing was still seventy nine minutes.
1462
01:21:34.560 --> 01:21:37.359
Yeah, I mean, look, you got you gotta crack tib
1463
01:21:37.800 --> 01:21:44.279
look full disclosure. I broke my fibula in high school bicycling.
1464
01:21:44.399 --> 01:21:46.680
What I would do to stay in shape is I
1465
01:21:46.680 --> 01:21:50.399
would bicycle five to ten miles a couple of times
1466
01:21:50.399 --> 01:21:52.079
a week. You know, if I got bored, you know,
1467
01:21:52.119 --> 01:21:56.479
I'd go for an extra lap and so snap my fibula.
1468
01:21:56.760 --> 01:21:58.439
I went into the doctor's office. He said, of all
1469
01:21:58.479 --> 01:22:00.720
the useless bones in the body to break, you broke one.
1470
01:22:01.399 --> 01:22:03.079
And it was eight weeks in a cast and I
1471
01:22:03.079 --> 01:22:05.840
could do virtually nothing because it was the fibula. Fibul
1472
01:22:05.960 --> 01:22:07.640
is the one on the back. Tibby is the one
1473
01:22:07.640 --> 01:22:10.079
on the front. So basically, think of it this way.
1474
01:22:10.399 --> 01:22:14.640
Somebody kicks you hard enough on the front bone of
1475
01:22:14.680 --> 01:22:17.600
the leg and it's got a crack in it, and
1476
01:22:17.640 --> 01:22:20.640
you play all those minutes that you play to help
1477
01:22:20.680 --> 01:22:24.640
your team win a tournament. Lucy Bron's get exactly that.
1478
01:22:24.640 --> 01:22:28.439
That's crazy to me. But you know, Lucy Brons might
1479
01:22:28.479 --> 01:22:29.640
be just crazy when you're playing.
1480
01:22:29.760 --> 01:22:31.239
I mean I think she might be. I think anyone
1481
01:22:31.279 --> 01:22:33.119
who's met he would probably say she's a little bit crazy.
1482
01:22:33.199 --> 01:22:36.239
So and one more player I want to focus on
1483
01:22:36.279 --> 01:22:38.760
for England is what do you think the price tag is?
1484
01:22:38.800 --> 01:22:40.640
Going to be for Michelle Ajimon going forward.
1485
01:22:42.479 --> 01:22:44.880
Well, that that is an interesting one. It depends on
1486
01:22:44.920 --> 01:22:47.720
if Arsenal truly wants to sell her. I think right now,
1487
01:22:49.560 --> 01:22:52.640
at least this past season, Arsenal had Alessia Russo and
1488
01:22:52.680 --> 01:22:56.880
then Stina black Sinius in that striker central striker role,
1489
01:22:57.840 --> 01:23:00.479
as well as Lena Hurti, but that's not quite the same.
1490
01:23:00.520 --> 01:23:04.920
She's retired now. I think if you're Arsenal, you're looking
1491
01:23:05.039 --> 01:23:10.760
at truly are you able to let Stina walk? And
1492
01:23:10.800 --> 01:23:13.840
that's gonna be a little sad because she's been a
1493
01:23:13.840 --> 01:23:16.199
club favorite for quite some time. Obviously scored the game
1494
01:23:16.199 --> 01:23:20.520
winner in the UEFA Champions League Final this past May.
1495
01:23:20.640 --> 01:23:23.479
But if you're looking at it, you can go, okay,
1496
01:23:23.479 --> 01:23:25.760
well we can kind of maybe let Stina or another
1497
01:23:25.840 --> 01:23:30.159
player like that walk. Bring back Michelle because she's at Brighton.
1498
01:23:32.319 --> 01:23:36.000
That I think could be the possibility. The other possibility
1499
01:23:36.039 --> 01:23:39.840
is you're looking at I don't know about record breaking,
1500
01:23:40.399 --> 01:23:43.479
but possibly. I mean the record right now is Arsenal
1501
01:23:43.520 --> 01:23:47.520
trading for Olivia Smith for one point what two million pounds,
1502
01:23:48.439 --> 01:23:51.239
which was more than Chelsea bought Naomi Germa for. I
1503
01:23:51.279 --> 01:23:53.039
don't know if I quite agree with that. I think
1504
01:23:53.039 --> 01:23:55.039
Germa is a much better player than Smith, but Smith
1505
01:23:55.119 --> 01:23:58.560
is an attacking player and Germa is a defender, and
1506
01:23:58.600 --> 01:24:02.159
we know how that goes. John, So I think Agaiman
1507
01:24:02.319 --> 01:24:10.359
will it's got to be close to a million. I think,
1508
01:24:10.520 --> 01:24:12.279
I mean it could be nine hundred, but I think
1509
01:24:12.399 --> 01:24:15.960
close to a million for someone of that age who
1510
01:24:16.079 --> 01:24:17.800
is already producing so much at.
1511
01:24:17.720 --> 01:24:23.279
The national international level. We shall see. I think Arsenal
1512
01:24:24.000 --> 01:24:27.000
has a choice to make here. Do you keep the
1513
01:24:27.079 --> 01:24:27.560
young up.
1514
01:24:27.439 --> 01:24:31.720
And colling talent or do you cash in on her?
1515
01:24:32.640 --> 01:24:37.800
I don't know, bartm yes, nothing like that. Jared's now
1516
01:24:37.880 --> 01:24:42.520
joining us for cards and calls and other things. I
1517
01:24:42.560 --> 01:24:46.439
had My first question for you, Bart has to do
1518
01:24:47.800 --> 01:24:51.039
with a fifth minute yellow card.
1519
01:24:52.720 --> 01:24:54.960
I heard you talking about this on the post game show.
1520
01:24:56.279 --> 01:24:58.720
And as much as I didn't get the chance to
1521
01:24:59.159 --> 01:25:03.840
go into it, it was one of those things where
1522
01:25:03.880 --> 01:25:07.199
I'm like, Okay, you really better be sure about that,
1523
01:25:07.359 --> 01:25:13.600
because that should dictate your pace for fouling, carding, et cetera,
1524
01:25:14.479 --> 01:25:18.359
and for some reason it did not. So I guess
1525
01:25:18.359 --> 01:25:22.119
I'm trying to approach this in two separate ways. Fifth
1526
01:25:22.159 --> 01:25:24.319
minute yellow, you better be confident. Yes, it was a
1527
01:25:24.319 --> 01:25:28.319
professional foul out. I'm not denying, but for you to
1528
01:25:28.520 --> 01:25:32.680
do that, there were other opportunities in the match to
1529
01:25:33.359 --> 01:25:36.359
do the same thing, yet you were compelled, for whatever
1530
01:25:36.399 --> 01:25:39.439
reason not to do it. Once again, the inconsistencies drive
1531
01:25:39.479 --> 01:25:41.119
me crazy when it comes to officiate.
1532
01:25:41.920 --> 01:25:44.960
Yeah, I think, first off, I'll just say that not
1533
01:25:46.039 --> 01:25:47.640
just because you give a yellow card in the fifth
1534
01:25:47.680 --> 01:25:50.039
minute doesn't mean you need to be giving a yellow
1535
01:25:50.039 --> 01:25:52.760
card out of five minutes, because, as you said, that
1536
01:25:53.560 --> 01:25:56.279
type of foul is a yellow card point plane period.
1537
01:25:56.800 --> 01:26:01.359
But as we've kind of seen, apparently professional fouls don't
1538
01:26:01.399 --> 01:26:05.039
count as yellow cards when you're playing against Atlanta United again.
1539
01:26:04.840 --> 01:26:05.800
We talked about this last week.
1540
01:26:05.840 --> 01:26:10.560
We're off because Charlotte's bunch of lowdown, dirty cheaters dirty
1541
01:26:10.640 --> 01:26:11.359
got away with it.
1542
01:26:11.560 --> 01:26:15.439
Yes, this kind of feels a little bit like that.
1543
01:26:15.479 --> 01:26:18.319
We're like, yeah, okay, Stean gets a yellow card for
1544
01:26:18.600 --> 01:26:22.520
a what is stopping a promising attack. Totally agree that
1545
01:26:22.600 --> 01:26:26.319
needs to be applied, you know, consistently across the board.
1546
01:26:27.039 --> 01:26:34.000
I don't think that the referee necessarily thirteen fouls to
1547
01:26:34.119 --> 01:26:40.439
yellow cards for Seattle eleven fouls two four Atlanta. You know,
1548
01:26:40.479 --> 01:26:42.720
that feels somewhat fair, But I think to your point
1549
01:26:42.840 --> 01:26:46.600
of okay, I don't know if this was a match
1550
01:26:46.680 --> 01:26:48.640
a we needed to control the tempo of the match
1551
01:26:48.720 --> 01:26:51.640
or the stress and heat of the match that early,
1552
01:26:51.800 --> 01:26:53.399
or if it was just like, oh, that's a stopping
1553
01:26:53.439 --> 01:26:57.760
a promising attack. Here you go, and the referee didn't
1554
01:26:57.800 --> 01:26:58.279
catch it the.
1555
01:26:58.199 --> 01:26:58.720
Rest of the game.
1556
01:26:59.399 --> 01:26:59.880
Mm hmm.
1557
01:27:00.439 --> 01:27:05.079
What I'm saying, Jared, welcome on a Monday. What's on
1558
01:27:05.119 --> 01:27:05.840
your mind?
1559
01:27:06.640 --> 01:27:13.760
So to that point, give credit to h I missed
1560
01:27:13.760 --> 01:27:16.439
this last week obviously, with Bart's complained about Charlotte and
1561
01:27:16.520 --> 01:27:18.319
versus in Freshmen, do you.
1562
01:27:18.600 --> 01:27:20.680
Agree or disagree that Charlotte are a bunch of lowdown,
1563
01:27:20.720 --> 01:27:21.680
dirty cheaters.
1564
01:27:22.000 --> 01:27:27.319
I find them tiresome. I find I find Dean Smith
1565
01:27:27.479 --> 01:27:29.920
very tiresome. And I'm gonna be honest with you, if
1566
01:27:29.960 --> 01:27:31.920
you listen to Dean Smith's post game, there's a lot
1567
01:27:31.960 --> 01:27:37.800
of times where, especially when they were struggling, where I like,
1568
01:27:40.359 --> 01:27:43.560
I'm amazed at some of the stuff he has said
1569
01:27:43.600 --> 01:27:46.720
about like he's like, man, this this is kind of
1570
01:27:46.720 --> 01:27:49.560
like that separation with coaches in college in the NFL,
1571
01:27:49.720 --> 01:27:51.399
where I'm like, you can talk to kids that way,
1572
01:27:51.439 --> 01:27:56.119
it's hard to talk to adults. That way, he just
1573
01:27:56.159 --> 01:28:00.600
gets very high and mighty on them. Sometimes I digress.
1574
01:28:01.960 --> 01:28:04.199
So one of the things he laid the groundwork for
1575
01:28:04.239 --> 01:28:08.399
that in the victory in Charlotte, because he threw a
1576
01:28:08.439 --> 01:28:11.439
fit when they got a persistent infringement yellow because I
1577
01:28:11.479 --> 01:28:14.600
kept kicking Miguel Almeron like four different guys kicked him
1578
01:28:14.600 --> 01:28:16.680
inside of like five minutes, and the ref gave a
1579
01:28:16.680 --> 01:28:18.640
persistent in Frenchman yell, and he's like, that never happens
1580
01:28:18.640 --> 01:28:20.399
for us. I promise it does.
1581
01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:20.680
Dean.
1582
01:28:21.760 --> 01:28:24.479
Also, you have Wilfrid Zaha, who has never met an official.
1583
01:28:24.520 --> 01:28:29.000
He did not set against him. So I don't know
1584
01:28:29.039 --> 01:28:32.199
if you saw the Nashville game this week. No, there
1585
01:28:32.319 --> 01:28:38.239
was a very interesting group of decisions from the officiating front.
1586
01:28:39.159 --> 01:28:44.399
So Nashville has h has one of their outside backs
1587
01:28:44.439 --> 01:28:48.239
who proceeds to get a yellow card. It's it's it's
1588
01:28:48.279 --> 01:28:52.079
a it's a harsh yellow. But then he immediately commits
1589
01:28:52.119 --> 01:28:54.960
a foul right afterward, and a couple of minutes later
1590
01:28:55.640 --> 01:28:58.600
he stops a promising attempt to count. The guy gets
1591
01:28:58.600 --> 01:29:01.359
the ball with the defend on his back, tries to
1592
01:29:01.399 --> 01:29:04.239
turn it, is pulled down. It is not given as
1593
01:29:04.279 --> 01:29:08.119
a second yellow And what we were discussing about this
1594
01:29:08.239 --> 01:29:11.760
part is the are those situations where you and I
1595
01:29:11.800 --> 01:29:13.880
get that there are times when you don't want to
1596
01:29:13.960 --> 01:29:17.119
impact the game more so than you already are by
1597
01:29:17.239 --> 01:29:20.159
sending a player off. But when a player is begging
1598
01:29:20.239 --> 01:29:23.199
to be sent off and you don't do it, he
1599
01:29:23.399 --> 01:29:25.199
boxed himself in for the rest of the game on
1600
01:29:25.399 --> 01:29:26.960
what was and was not a yellow card.
1601
01:29:27.359 --> 01:29:32.479
Yeah, so I think you can what bothers me is
1602
01:29:32.520 --> 01:29:36.600
a stopping a promising attack. Yellow card needs to be
1603
01:29:36.680 --> 01:29:45.560
compulsory because that is the uh, the fender admitting I'll
1604
01:29:45.560 --> 01:29:46.640
take the yellow card.
1605
01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:49.000
Just what it is.
1606
01:29:49.159 --> 01:29:52.239
You know, commit that type of foul in an area
1607
01:29:52.239 --> 01:29:58.880
that is stopping a promising attack, then you need to
1608
01:29:58.960 --> 01:29:59.479
look at.
1609
01:29:59.319 --> 01:30:01.479
It and say, okay, you earned it.
1610
01:30:02.199 --> 01:30:02.279
Uh.
1611
01:30:02.439 --> 01:30:04.279
And to your point, I think you know you don't
1612
01:30:04.279 --> 01:30:07.359
want to You don't want to send off a player
1613
01:30:07.359 --> 01:30:10.319
for two yellow cards because you do kind of want
1614
01:30:10.359 --> 01:30:15.119
to reserve a red card for a serious incident. But
1615
01:30:16.079 --> 01:30:20.680
if you're committing two yellow card fouls, that's on you.
1616
01:30:21.479 --> 01:30:24.039
That's not my fault as a as a referee that
1617
01:30:24.239 --> 01:30:28.239
you did the two things that are yellow cards. And
1618
01:30:28.319 --> 01:30:30.039
I get I get your point. Of if you're going
1619
01:30:30.079 --> 01:30:32.159
to give a yellow card for a certain type of foul,
1620
01:30:34.600 --> 01:30:36.760
you need to be consistent throughout the rest of the game.
1621
01:30:37.039 --> 01:30:42.159
And you know, Nashville maybe got a little lucky. Didn't
1622
01:30:42.199 --> 01:30:43.279
help them, but they got.
1623
01:30:43.119 --> 01:30:47.720
A little in out in it set up this situation
1624
01:30:47.800 --> 01:30:51.760
where San Diego correctly, like so's tricky Lazano was absolutely
1625
01:30:51.840 --> 01:30:53.960
a terrorism on the west side of the field that game.
1626
01:30:54.920 --> 01:30:56.720
Here they signed a good player and he turned out
1627
01:30:56.760 --> 01:30:58.279
being good. Hey when that.
1628
01:30:58.239 --> 01:31:01.920
Happens Andres was right there, man, they could have been
1629
01:31:01.960 --> 01:31:03.680
like every other team in MLS that has come into
1630
01:31:03.680 --> 01:31:06.000
the league since twenty fifteen and threatened to sign on
1631
01:31:06.000 --> 01:31:08.960
their escort al though and didn't do it. Yeah, take
1632
01:31:10.199 --> 01:31:13.840
but the uh, but he set himself up for this
1633
01:31:13.880 --> 01:31:16.279
situation where every time there's a foul, he was getting
1634
01:31:16.279 --> 01:31:21.119
grouped and crowded by these San Diego players who were
1635
01:31:21.159 --> 01:31:23.800
correctly like, you can't give it yellow here, can't give
1636
01:31:23.800 --> 01:31:25.319
a yellow, Oh, you gotta give a yellow for that.
1637
01:31:25.560 --> 01:31:26.279
So yeah, I don't.
1638
01:31:26.319 --> 01:31:28.119
I think he gave one yellow to the San Diego
1639
01:31:28.119 --> 01:31:30.359
player late the game. But other than that, like he
1640
01:31:30.479 --> 01:31:34.239
kind of boxing himself in where he couldn't he couldn't
1641
01:31:34.279 --> 01:31:36.560
you You couldn't not send that guy off with a
1642
01:31:36.560 --> 01:31:40.399
second yellow and then turn around and give yellow cards
1643
01:31:40.399 --> 01:31:43.359
for practically anything short of assault and battery.
1644
01:31:44.760 --> 01:31:46.560
Well, and I think one of the things that I
1645
01:31:46.560 --> 01:31:49.359
would agree with Jason is if you get a yellow card,
1646
01:31:49.399 --> 01:31:51.800
so love it, skits a yellow card in what sixty
1647
01:31:51.880 --> 01:31:52.279
ninth minute?
1648
01:31:52.319 --> 01:31:53.319
Is that who we're talking about here?
1649
01:31:53.439 --> 01:31:55.560
Well, I think it's Polazios. I think is who Jared
1650
01:31:55.640 --> 01:31:58.159
is wrapped up about. And these should because Pelasios was
1651
01:31:58.159 --> 01:32:01.840
the one who was completely in totally is raising hell.
1652
01:32:01.720 --> 01:32:03.239
Oh okay, got it? Okay? Correct?
1653
01:32:04.840 --> 01:32:08.520
Colosios was Colosius was actively in hell in that game
1654
01:32:08.760 --> 01:32:14.359
again targeting him, but it was it was good for
1655
01:32:14.479 --> 01:32:16.600
San Diego, like they had an advantage that took advantage
1656
01:32:16.640 --> 01:32:16.800
of it.
1657
01:32:17.000 --> 01:32:18.359
He com and I see.
1658
01:32:18.359 --> 01:32:20.439
And the thing is, I thought his first yellow card
1659
01:32:20.479 --> 01:32:22.560
was a little harsh, Like I thought he was a
1660
01:32:22.600 --> 01:32:24.560
little quick in yellow and kind of put himself into
1661
01:32:24.560 --> 01:32:28.159
a situation where well, you just gave a really soft
1662
01:32:28.239 --> 01:32:30.960
yellow to this guy. But then Pelosios a foul like
1663
01:32:31.000 --> 01:32:33.279
eight seconds later, and then another another bad one like
1664
01:32:33.319 --> 01:32:35.199
three minutes later. I'm like, well, now you've put yourself
1665
01:32:35.199 --> 01:32:36.199
in a really good situation.
1666
01:32:36.239 --> 01:32:37.960
I mean, he only committed three thousand in the match,
1667
01:32:38.000 --> 01:32:41.640
which is not really person like persistent infringement overall.
1668
01:32:41.720 --> 01:32:44.760
But what you described there, Jared is.
1669
01:32:46.840 --> 01:32:49.720
You have three in a row that is absolutely persistent
1670
01:32:49.760 --> 01:32:52.560
infringement regardless, right, I mean, you can't commit three thousand
1671
01:32:52.560 --> 01:32:53.399
and five minutes.
1672
01:32:53.119 --> 01:32:55.399
And be like, I'm good, it's fine. You know.
1673
01:32:57.239 --> 01:33:00.399
That's worth the yellow card. You're being careless, and that
1674
01:33:00.520 --> 01:33:04.439
is that is a point of contention.
1675
01:33:04.560 --> 01:33:04.920
I agree.
1676
01:33:04.960 --> 01:33:07.239
I think that's something that I would like to see better,
1677
01:33:08.319 --> 01:33:09.239
better consistency.
1678
01:33:09.279 --> 01:33:11.000
And this is something I say to myself.
1679
01:33:11.000 --> 01:33:15.720
Of compulsory yellow cards, because it's also remembering that I
1680
01:33:15.760 --> 01:33:19.279
have to give the yellow card for that thing. And
1681
01:33:20.079 --> 01:33:24.239
sometimes it's it's look, they're professionals. I would expect them
1682
01:33:24.279 --> 01:33:25.520
to be a little bit more on it.
1683
01:33:25.439 --> 01:33:26.680
But it's.
1684
01:33:28.079 --> 01:33:30.079
So then you So then let me ask you this,
1685
01:33:30.159 --> 01:33:35.399
how hard is it to remember for a centerf Sometimes
1686
01:33:35.520 --> 01:33:38.279
Oh yeah, I've got to go back and I have to.
1687
01:33:38.399 --> 01:33:40.920
You know, you've got a moment that's filed away. How
1688
01:33:40.920 --> 01:33:43.239
difficult is it to circle back? Oh yeah, I'm supposed
1689
01:33:43.279 --> 01:33:44.840
to because of what happened earlier.
1690
01:33:45.119 --> 01:33:49.079
It is so especially when it comes to. I do
1691
01:33:49.159 --> 01:33:51.880
think stopping a promising attack is a harder one because
1692
01:33:52.920 --> 01:33:59.079
sometimes you don't have the full field awareness of where
1693
01:33:59.199 --> 01:34:01.880
the foul occurred on the field, right, especially if it's
1694
01:34:01.880 --> 01:34:06.159
in the attacking team's half the field right. And this
1695
01:34:06.279 --> 01:34:08.439
I think was what happened with the pet Biel foals,
1696
01:34:08.479 --> 01:34:10.720
that it was kind of in our half of the field,
1697
01:34:10.800 --> 01:34:12.920
even though I think it was in like the center circle.
1698
01:34:13.399 --> 01:34:17.000
But that can be hard because you're going, okay, is
1699
01:34:17.000 --> 01:34:18.319
that really a promising attack?
1700
01:34:18.840 --> 01:34:22.199
Right? They we do not have the eleven.
1701
01:34:21.960 --> 01:34:24.800
B eleven, you know, the all twenty two camera, or
1702
01:34:24.840 --> 01:34:29.199
even the sideline camera where you can see, oh well,
1703
01:34:29.239 --> 01:34:30.600
there's only three guys.
1704
01:34:30.640 --> 01:34:30.800
You know.
1705
01:34:30.880 --> 01:34:36.960
It's hard. So that is definitely one that a little
1706
01:34:36.960 --> 01:34:39.960
more difficult. However, a lot of times the action itself
1707
01:34:40.039 --> 01:34:43.680
is pretty pretty damning when it comes to what is
1708
01:34:43.760 --> 01:34:48.600
a stopping a promising attack? Grabbing someone by the back
1709
01:34:48.640 --> 01:34:51.560
of the jersey, you know, those types of actions. We
1710
01:34:51.640 --> 01:34:53.680
don't read intent, but you can clearly see intent when
1711
01:34:53.680 --> 01:34:57.520
someone's trying to stop an attack from from happening, and
1712
01:34:57.840 --> 01:35:03.159
we can be a little bit more, We need to
1713
01:35:03.159 --> 01:35:06.680
be a little bit more ready to issue that card.
1714
01:35:06.800 --> 01:35:07.680
Let's just put it that way.
1715
01:35:08.000 --> 01:35:12.399
Yeah, and that was because you know, having jareded remind
1716
01:35:12.479 --> 01:35:16.640
us about Pelosi, The The Adventures of Pelasios on the Weekend,
1717
01:35:17.039 --> 01:35:18.880
where literally it's like, you.
1718
01:35:18.840 --> 01:35:20.560
Know, I'm gonna do it. I'm gonna do it.
1719
01:35:20.640 --> 01:35:22.840
I'm doing it, you know, and you're gonna keep doing
1720
01:35:22.880 --> 01:35:26.359
it until until whenever you keep pushing that line, you
1721
01:35:26.439 --> 01:35:28.560
keep pushing it and pushing it and pushing it, and
1722
01:35:28.640 --> 01:35:31.359
if there's no response from the center f then yeah, okay,
1723
01:35:31.640 --> 01:35:34.840
so that's the bar, and it's you know, I'm gonna
1724
01:35:34.920 --> 01:35:38.239
keep going up against it until you literally do something.
1725
01:35:38.960 --> 01:35:42.119
You know, kid's gonna be you know, kid's gonna be
1726
01:35:42.119 --> 01:35:44.720
obnoxious and noisy, and sometimes you just gotta pop them
1727
01:35:44.760 --> 01:35:45.199
on the butt.
1728
01:35:45.800 --> 01:35:49.119
Yeah, I mean, you're worse not mine. I'm not. I'm
1729
01:35:49.119 --> 01:35:53.680
not a parent. So look that's how it feels.
1730
01:35:53.359 --> 01:35:55.960
Like I'm talking about on the receiving end of that one. Brother,
1731
01:35:56.000 --> 01:35:57.399
I am not. I am not a parent.
1732
01:35:57.680 --> 01:36:00.920
Sometimes when you're officiating game game, you have to threaten
1733
01:36:01.000 --> 01:36:04.039
to pull this car over and turn this car around.
1734
01:36:04.039 --> 01:36:06.279
We will We're not going to dairy queen.
1735
01:36:06.720 --> 01:36:08.439
Yeah, one hundred percent.
1736
01:36:08.560 --> 01:36:11.479
I do agree with that, Jordan and your question about
1737
01:36:11.880 --> 01:36:13.520
yellow card accumulation for leagues.
1738
01:36:13.319 --> 01:36:17.520
Cups, since it's the referee thing. Three yellow cards in
1739
01:36:17.640 --> 01:36:21.279
phase one, whatever that means nowadays.
1740
01:36:20.600 --> 01:36:22.399
Well, it's not. It's not group stage.
1741
01:36:22.439 --> 01:36:25.560
Literally, it's like, I know, the top four teams advance
1742
01:36:26.119 --> 01:36:29.760
and basically what they're trying to do is encourage you know,
1743
01:36:30.439 --> 01:36:33.479
they're trying to encourage wins and goals and goal difference.
1744
01:36:33.520 --> 01:36:38.159
That's what now I get it Phase one, one stage.
1745
01:36:38.560 --> 01:36:40.239
They're not group stage, group stage.
1746
01:36:40.399 --> 01:36:43.880
No, yea, three yellow.
1747
01:36:43.600 --> 01:36:47.520
Cards, I know three the league phase.
1748
01:36:47.239 --> 01:36:49.800
Whatever, trying to make fetch happen.
1749
01:36:50.439 --> 01:36:50.760
I know.
1750
01:36:53.359 --> 01:36:56.039
Three yellow cards through phase one will be suspended for
1751
01:36:56.119 --> 01:37:00.720
the match following your third yellow card. So really, what
1752
01:37:00.720 --> 01:37:03.199
it's saying is if you get a yellow card in
1753
01:37:03.239 --> 01:37:07.960
all three games, Franko escbar, you will be suspended for
1754
01:37:08.000 --> 01:37:10.319
the next match. But they reset at the quarterfinals, so
1755
01:37:10.520 --> 01:37:14.239
I think there's only quarterfinals. It's only quarterfinals, semi finals, finals.
1756
01:37:14.119 --> 01:37:16.119
Right, He goes a four to two.
1757
01:37:16.199 --> 01:37:21.720
Yeah, yeah, so it's basically three matches you're suspended. Yeah,
1758
01:37:22.640 --> 01:37:25.039
so phase one, there's only three matches in phase one
1759
01:37:25.079 --> 01:37:26.560
if I'm correct about.
1760
01:37:26.439 --> 01:37:30.319
Yeah, I don't care about the group that you are
1761
01:37:30.319 --> 01:37:33.319
in is Phase one, you.
1762
01:37:33.279 --> 01:37:35.399
Play three matches, yes, so if you get a yellow
1763
01:37:35.439 --> 01:37:36.520
card and all three of those.
1764
01:37:36.359 --> 01:37:39.319
Matches, you'll be suspended for the quarterfinals.
1765
01:37:39.439 --> 01:37:45.079
But they reset basically this after like once we hit
1766
01:37:45.199 --> 01:37:46.800
knockout phase, they do reset.
1767
01:37:46.920 --> 01:37:50.199
So if you have two yellow cards through phase one,
1768
01:37:52.479 --> 01:37:54.600
you have zero once the quarterfinals start.
1769
01:37:54.680 --> 01:37:56.479
But if you do have the three during the phase one,
1770
01:37:56.479 --> 01:37:59.199
which again would be a yellow card every game, yes,
1771
01:38:00.119 --> 01:38:02.199
then you would have to miss the next match, which
1772
01:38:02.239 --> 01:38:03.119
would be the quarterfinal.
1773
01:38:03.920 --> 01:38:05.279
But that's and then you're fine.
1774
01:38:05.359 --> 01:38:07.520
But then a recess and you're basically fine because yeah,
1775
01:38:07.560 --> 01:38:08.800
it's it's.
1776
01:38:11.199 --> 01:38:13.960
Three yellow cards, quarterfinal you sit.
1777
01:38:14.159 --> 01:38:17.760
Yeah, final final, Yeah, yellow cards and penalty kicks that
1778
01:38:17.880 --> 01:38:19.920
will apply in accord us with the penalty kick procedure
1779
01:38:20.000 --> 01:38:21.239
set forth below, So we'll.
1780
01:38:21.079 --> 01:38:21.760
Get into that later.
1781
01:38:21.840 --> 01:38:25.720
But yeah, yeah, So basically, Jordan, I don't think there's
1782
01:38:25.720 --> 01:38:28.479
a real one. There's no real possibility of an Atlanta
1783
01:38:28.520 --> 01:38:30.760
Nighted player missing a match because we were not gonna
1784
01:38:30.760 --> 01:38:32.560
win any matches in the phase one because we've never
1785
01:38:32.560 --> 01:38:35.319
won a match this entire tournament, and we won't have to.
1786
01:38:35.239 --> 01:38:37.279
Worry about them missing a quarterfinal match.
1787
01:38:37.279 --> 01:38:39.920
Oh I'm sorry, that's two supposed to be positive about
1788
01:38:39.920 --> 01:38:40.880
a landing night on this show.
1789
01:38:40.920 --> 01:38:42.479
We're only like to be positive.
1790
01:38:42.079 --> 01:38:44.520
About that is not that is sir.
1791
01:38:44.760 --> 01:38:46.760
You listen to me for the last.
1792
01:38:47.079 --> 01:38:48.760
Jared, you and I are in the same boat. We're
1793
01:38:48.800 --> 01:38:51.600
just over it. I think we are just like, could y'all.
1794
01:38:51.319 --> 01:38:53.239
Just do you know what my nights consist of?
1795
01:38:53.279 --> 01:38:53.439
Now?
1796
01:38:54.039 --> 01:38:57.560
So here's here's my timeline.
1797
01:38:58.600 --> 01:38:58.920
You know what.
1798
01:38:58.960 --> 01:39:00.760
The great thing about where it now is is the
1799
01:39:00.800 --> 01:39:04.159
games at five thirty mm hm, So like I'm cooking
1800
01:39:04.199 --> 01:39:07.720
dinner and like watching the game and going, wow, those
1801
01:39:07.720 --> 01:39:09.439
are some really good moments. By the way, we're back
1802
01:39:09.439 --> 01:39:12.279
to like early season kinds of struggles, which is which
1803
01:39:12.319 --> 01:39:15.239
is translates to instead of ninety minutes of being frustrated,
1804
01:39:15.279 --> 01:39:18.039
you're going forty five minutes going oh my god, what
1805
01:39:18.159 --> 01:39:21.960
might have been? M hm, And then you go and
1806
01:39:22.000 --> 01:39:26.439
then and then everyone takes an ambient at halftime and
1807
01:39:27.279 --> 01:39:30.800
curls up with a good book. And then the final
1808
01:39:30.800 --> 01:39:35.439
whistle blows after Alexi Mornchuk, who had zero interest in
1809
01:39:35.520 --> 01:39:41.439
celebrating that goal and was look, give give a Lexi credit.
1810
01:39:41.640 --> 01:39:44.000
Man was all business. That was the reaction of a
1811
01:39:44.000 --> 01:39:46.960
man who was so sick of this entire season, and
1812
01:39:47.000 --> 01:39:49.199
he's just out of there hitting bangers because he can.
1813
01:39:51.159 --> 01:39:56.640
But the ambient wore off eighty ninth ninety minute. But
1814
01:39:58.960 --> 01:40:01.640
the games of five point thirty seven thirty games over,
1815
01:40:03.079 --> 01:40:05.600
I move on to the RSL game. You move on
1816
01:40:05.600 --> 01:40:08.960
to your street. Yeah, but it's seven thirty. That game,
1817
01:40:09.000 --> 01:40:11.199
it's at nine thirty, Like, do you do you know
1818
01:40:11.199 --> 01:40:14.199
how wonderful this is. I'm gonna get SEC games at
1819
01:40:14.199 --> 01:40:15.079
one thirty in thought.
1820
01:40:15.319 --> 01:40:17.760
Oh wow, that's right. You get you get ten at
1821
01:40:17.760 --> 01:40:19.039
the ten o'clock ams.
1822
01:40:19.119 --> 01:40:20.119
Yeah, you get some ten am.
1823
01:40:20.279 --> 01:40:22.680
You get some ten am SEC kickoffs, big.
1824
01:40:22.760 --> 01:40:24.960
NAM kickoff for Jared Smith over here.
1825
01:40:25.640 --> 01:40:30.159
Yes, I'm trying to live right, I know. Even even
1826
01:40:30.199 --> 01:40:33.439
the late night Galaxy games come on at like eight o'clock.
1827
01:40:33.640 --> 01:40:36.399
Yeah, you got eight thirty, eight and eight thirty Galaxy games.
1828
01:40:36.680 --> 01:40:38.319
Bart is me and Fachelle is still a good player
1829
01:40:38.319 --> 01:40:38.680
to watch.
1830
01:40:38.840 --> 01:40:43.720
Yes, she had an injury issue when she went to Chelsea,
1831
01:40:44.159 --> 01:40:49.239
like literally got hurt immediately upon joining Chelsea. She's now
1832
01:40:49.279 --> 01:40:54.279
back in n WSL, and I think that will help her.
1833
01:40:55.279 --> 01:40:56.399
You gotta remember, we.
1834
01:40:56.319 --> 01:41:01.039
Haven't seen a true we have self with Wilson obviously,
1835
01:41:01.119 --> 01:41:05.399
but she's pregnant so she will be playing for a
1836
01:41:05.439 --> 01:41:10.319
little bit. Yeah, I haven't seen a true number nine
1837
01:41:10.399 --> 01:41:13.479
that can back up Kat maccario yet. I think we've
1838
01:41:13.520 --> 01:41:16.439
tried Lynn Biandolo. It hasn't quite worked the same way.
1839
01:41:18.479 --> 01:41:21.479
Official is still a player that's worth keeping an eye
1840
01:41:21.479 --> 01:41:25.039
on because I think she can be if you're looking
1841
01:41:25.079 --> 01:41:28.399
at a building a roster. She's a little bit bigger, tall,
1842
01:41:28.479 --> 01:41:31.279
or stronger than the other two, much better in the air,
1843
01:41:31.840 --> 01:41:36.000
and actually is good at that. So you know, if
1844
01:41:36.039 --> 01:41:41.800
you're building a tournament roster, that's a pretty good player
1845
01:41:41.800 --> 01:41:44.800
to have in it. She's also pretty technically gifted. She's
1846
01:41:44.840 --> 01:41:48.119
not like just a She's not just a lump it
1847
01:41:48.159 --> 01:41:50.640
at orangel head at home. So yeah, she's still a
1848
01:41:50.640 --> 01:41:52.479
good player to watch. She just has been injured what
1849
01:41:52.520 --> 01:41:53.720
feels like a year and a half.
1850
01:41:56.520 --> 01:41:58.520
Correct. I am happy those games in early so I
1851
01:41:58.560 --> 01:42:00.640
can go to bed. I'm tired the end of the day.
1852
01:42:00.800 --> 01:42:02.640
Jared, are you on the are you on the camp of?
1853
01:42:02.720 --> 01:42:05.399
Like concerts just start at like seven on the dot.
1854
01:42:06.039 --> 01:42:07.840
No, I can get I can get myself geared up
1855
01:42:07.880 --> 01:42:10.119
for a concert to go later, because, like I I've
1856
01:42:10.199 --> 01:42:12.560
done enough content, I've worked enough concerts I've gone to
1857
01:42:12.640 --> 01:42:15.880
enough concerts to understand that Dwords are at seven show
1858
01:42:15.920 --> 01:42:18.000
starts today and like, yeah, that's the opening act. I
1859
01:42:18.199 --> 01:42:20.039
gotta wait till nine for my for my band to
1860
01:42:20.039 --> 01:42:23.199
come on, maybe ten, And that's okay, totally okay. I
1861
01:42:23.199 --> 01:42:26.399
can get I can gear myself up with that. But yeah,
1862
01:42:26.479 --> 01:42:28.520
like I'm I can hear myself up to stay up
1863
01:42:28.560 --> 01:42:32.000
late and watch game, but I'm I'm also not gonna
1864
01:42:32.000 --> 01:42:33.640
look a gift horse in the mouth when the game
1865
01:42:33.760 --> 01:42:35.239
ends at seven thirty and I can go about my
1866
01:42:35.319 --> 01:42:41.399
day that that that part's great, zero complaints. Here's my
1867
01:42:41.479 --> 01:42:45.880
question for Bart. Has England burned all of their good
1868
01:42:46.039 --> 01:42:50.560
fortune in this tournament or just most of it? Not
1869
01:42:50.600 --> 01:42:52.920
to say they weren't good. I'm not saying they were
1870
01:42:52.960 --> 01:42:55.880
not good and they were not worthy champions of that tournament,
1871
01:42:56.319 --> 01:42:59.199
but holy hell, the amount of horseshoes and lucky rabbit's
1872
01:42:59.199 --> 01:43:03.159
foots that team had at times this tournament. And never
1873
01:43:03.199 --> 01:43:06.960
apologize for good luck, but holy hell.
1874
01:43:07.119 --> 01:43:09.239
Well, I'll say this, I think they're gonna have a
1875
01:43:09.239 --> 01:43:12.600
little bit of a more roster turnover heading to twenty
1876
01:43:12.640 --> 01:43:14.600
twenty seven. I think people forget that the Women's World
1877
01:43:14.640 --> 01:43:18.039
Cup is two full years away. Same with Spain. I
1878
01:43:18.119 --> 01:43:20.239
think Spain's the one. I'm a little bit more concerned
1879
01:43:20.279 --> 01:43:24.880
with having a drop off, Jarrett, because their current generation
1880
01:43:25.119 --> 01:43:28.039
has been really good for a long time. I'm not
1881
01:43:28.399 --> 01:43:31.600
like fully convinced that the next generation is that great
1882
01:43:31.720 --> 01:43:36.640
Potter Yoelo is good, but like the rest, Pena is okay, Like, well,
1883
01:43:36.680 --> 01:43:40.600
pen is great, but like do you have enough in
1884
01:43:40.640 --> 01:43:43.720
the tank behind that? So Barcelona's got to start, you know,
1885
01:43:43.840 --> 01:43:46.720
turning out some better players. I think when you're looking
1886
01:43:46.720 --> 01:43:49.359
at England, the luck might be certain players may have
1887
01:43:49.399 --> 01:43:53.760
gotten a little lucky, maybe that cumulative luck, and if
1888
01:43:53.800 --> 01:43:56.079
you bring in some new players then the commulative luck
1889
01:43:56.119 --> 01:43:59.520
will reset. So maybe that's the key for England in
1890
01:43:59.560 --> 01:44:01.880
twenty two. But like I said, they're not in the
1891
01:44:01.920 --> 01:44:04.640
Nation's league finals, so I ain't got to worry about that.
1892
01:44:04.760 --> 01:44:08.880
They have, you know, a year until they have any
1893
01:44:08.960 --> 01:44:09.920
real thing to worry about.
1894
01:44:10.279 --> 01:44:13.239
Yes, So what's the latest for soccer for us PO D.
1895
01:44:13.840 --> 01:44:15.399
We are hopefully recording tomorrow.
1896
01:44:15.439 --> 01:44:17.039
There you go, that is the plan.
1897
01:44:17.520 --> 01:44:19.319
Uh, and we are not talking about the us M
1898
01:44:19.359 --> 01:44:19.560
and T.
1899
01:44:21.560 --> 01:44:23.960
Okay, because what are we going to talk about ain't
1900
01:44:23.960 --> 01:44:25.239
doing right now? I ain't doing.
1901
01:44:26.079 --> 01:44:27.279
We're going to talk about.
1902
01:44:28.439 --> 01:44:32.920
Right also that Jared, we need a break. We are
1903
01:44:32.920 --> 01:44:36.039
talking a little MLS. We're talking. We're talking US, M
1904
01:44:36.079 --> 01:44:38.840
and T and the Lake. We'll be talking CONCACAFF rankings.
1905
01:44:38.840 --> 01:44:40.359
I don't know if you saw the rankings that came out.
1906
01:44:40.800 --> 01:44:42.800
Yeah, that was weird.
1907
01:44:43.039 --> 01:44:44.319
We'll try to explain why.
1908
01:44:44.359 --> 01:44:46.399
And it comes down to Costa Rica got to play
1909
01:44:46.399 --> 01:44:48.119
a bunch of World Cup qualifiers the US and it
1910
01:44:48.159 --> 01:44:49.760
gets to play while the US.
1911
01:44:49.720 --> 01:44:52.920
Was so it was a bulk buy for Costa Rica
1912
01:44:53.000 --> 01:44:54.560
is what got them higher rank Yeah.
1913
01:44:54.600 --> 01:44:59.960
So the CONCACAFF rankings rank your performances in conca CAF
1914
01:45:00.119 --> 01:45:06.239
competitions higher than anything else, so they're the weight is
1915
01:45:06.319 --> 01:45:07.199
given toward those.
1916
01:45:07.239 --> 01:45:10.560
And so while the US has gone farther in.
1917
01:45:10.600 --> 01:45:13.840
All these CONCACAFF competitions, technically Costa Rica has played more
1918
01:45:13.840 --> 01:45:17.279
of those matches because you think about in March, Well,
1919
01:45:17.319 --> 01:45:19.920
we lost both of those matches and that's not great.
1920
01:45:22.680 --> 01:45:26.800
We did get to the final, right, but we really
1921
01:45:26.800 --> 01:45:29.479
in theory, only played two more matches in Costa Rica,
1922
01:45:29.520 --> 01:45:33.319
and technically we didn't beat Costa Rica according to rankings,
1923
01:45:33.319 --> 01:45:37.479
because as y'all should know, winning in a penalty kickshootout
1924
01:45:37.560 --> 01:45:39.600
is not a win, you just advance.
1925
01:45:39.760 --> 01:45:45.079
The game technically ends in a draw, which is dumb.
1926
01:45:47.159 --> 01:45:47.640
What do I know?
1927
01:45:48.319 --> 01:45:48.439
Uh?
1928
01:45:48.640 --> 01:45:54.000
So they because of the World Cup qualifier, World Cup qualifiers, John,
1929
01:45:54.000 --> 01:45:55.479
I'm getting that upper plate thing that.
1930
01:45:55.439 --> 01:45:56.920
I'm right there with you, brother.
1931
01:45:58.640 --> 01:46:01.359
Because of the World Cup qualify fires that Costa Rica
1932
01:46:01.479 --> 01:46:06.479
has played recently. Those just matter more, right, You get
1933
01:46:06.479 --> 01:46:08.439
more points if you and especially if you win them,
1934
01:46:08.439 --> 01:46:11.600
which they've been playing worse teams than the US has played,
1935
01:46:11.640 --> 01:46:14.199
but they win, so that's more points.
1936
01:46:14.239 --> 01:46:16.560
Now. I still think it's crazy that they are.
1937
01:46:16.760 --> 01:46:18.359
The US has now dropped down to fifth, But we
1938
01:46:18.399 --> 01:46:20.760
will be talking about that as well as some other
1939
01:46:20.880 --> 01:46:24.840
quick hit topics about MLS and US soccer that aren't
1940
01:46:25.039 --> 01:46:27.840
necessarily US USM and T related.
1941
01:46:28.079 --> 01:46:30.199
Okay, looking forward to it. As always with the soccer
1942
01:46:30.239 --> 01:46:31.119
for US po D.
1943
01:46:31.760 --> 01:46:33.920
We're a lull, Jarrett, we don't even have NWSL to
1944
01:46:33.960 --> 01:46:36.800
talk about, like, well they're not well, you know, we
1945
01:46:36.880 --> 01:46:40.039
gotta we gotta make stuff. Well, they come back soon,
1946
01:46:40.319 --> 01:46:40.680
Wall you.
1947
01:46:40.600 --> 01:46:41.239
Come back too.
1948
01:46:41.760 --> 01:46:46.359
So the Monkey, the Monkey's Paul, the monkeys Paul did
1949
01:46:46.399 --> 01:46:50.520
the like like bent for me personally, and that I
1950
01:46:50.560 --> 01:46:52.399
was like, man, I was so excited, Like I'm going
1951
01:46:52.439 --> 01:46:54.560
to move. Someone has an NWSL team. I moved to
1952
01:46:54.600 --> 01:46:57.000
some player the NWSL team that's one, two and ten.
1953
01:46:57.720 --> 01:47:00.680
Yeah, but maybe they'll be good soon.
1954
01:47:01.239 --> 01:47:02.479
Maybe they'll be get in the second half of the
1955
01:47:02.560 --> 01:47:05.199
year like they were last year, and the inexplicably bad
1956
01:47:05.239 --> 01:47:06.760
in the first half of the year like they are this year.
1957
01:47:06.960 --> 01:47:07.199
Wow.
1958
01:47:07.600 --> 01:47:10.119
Yeah, because I went to I went to the Seattle
1959
01:47:10.199 --> 01:47:14.720
rain game on the twenty first in June, and Jesus Christ.
1960
01:47:17.199 --> 01:47:19.600
I mean maybe the silver lining Jared is you get
1961
01:47:19.600 --> 01:47:22.880
to see other good NWSL teams come to Salt Lake.
1962
01:47:23.359 --> 01:47:26.680
I mean yeah, like Seattle were fine. The Seattle were
1963
01:47:27.399 --> 01:47:31.000
they were fine. They weren't amazing fine, they were just
1964
01:47:31.079 --> 01:47:33.560
kind of there, but they never really got out of
1965
01:47:33.560 --> 01:47:38.279
third gear. Get Orlando this, Uh no, that's that's the
1966
01:47:38.279 --> 01:47:43.199
way Kansas City and Jaesus City coming out. Ye, that
1967
01:47:43.279 --> 01:47:47.359
might be fun, Jesus Christ, Nope, well it'll be fun
1968
01:47:47.960 --> 01:47:50.880
Kansas City. Is it funny that Kansas City and Utah
1969
01:47:50.920 --> 01:47:52.760
like volleyed a team back and forth for a while.
1970
01:47:52.800 --> 01:47:55.439
Now they both have teams and and Kansas City has
1971
01:47:55.520 --> 01:47:57.920
basically turned into a sentinel from X men.
1972
01:47:59.000 --> 01:48:02.159
I mean derne Barn. You invest what you invest and
1973
01:48:02.199 --> 01:48:09.680
you get what you pay for. Yeah, always yeah, yeah,
1974
01:48:09.920 --> 01:48:11.760
and is going to do that?
1975
01:48:12.119 --> 01:48:14.279
Yes, yes, Code of Paks CFC.
1976
01:48:14.520 --> 01:48:17.159
Go go look up the reference and uh, we're gonna
1977
01:48:17.199 --> 01:48:18.479
end up buying all the gear.
1978
01:48:18.680 --> 01:48:21.079
As always barre beautiful logo. Oh absolutely.
1979
01:48:21.680 --> 01:48:23.399
Uh, Bart is always great to catch up with you
1980
01:48:23.439 --> 01:48:25.279
on Monday's my friend. And you know that if there's
1981
01:48:25.279 --> 01:48:26.880
anything else going on in your brain, you know, you
1982
01:48:26.920 --> 01:48:28.479
get the keys to the garage door.
1983
01:48:28.520 --> 01:48:29.600
You know you can crash it anytime.
1984
01:48:29.640 --> 01:48:31.880
Look, John, I am drinking out of the Atlantic in
1985
01:48:31.960 --> 01:48:32.600
mud today.
1986
01:48:32.680 --> 01:48:33.039
Okay.
1987
01:48:33.560 --> 01:48:35.960
I I have personally decided I will no longer be
1988
01:48:36.000 --> 01:48:38.159
tending the matches this year because I would rather spend
1989
01:48:38.159 --> 01:48:39.680
my time and energies.
1990
01:48:41.439 --> 01:48:44.159
Not being stressed out by this team.
1991
01:48:44.279 --> 01:48:50.199
But I enjoyed a great hot pot on Saturday night
1992
01:48:50.720 --> 01:48:52.600
instead of and now granted I was you know, the
1993
01:48:52.600 --> 01:48:56.840
phone was set up there as I'm eating, but you know,
1994
01:48:57.159 --> 01:49:00.199
not having to fully be involved.
1995
01:48:59.880 --> 01:49:01.359
By Yeah, it was at the tailgate. It was good
1996
01:49:01.359 --> 01:49:01.760
to see that.
1997
01:49:01.880 --> 01:49:04.439
I think that's if I can, my parting message would
1998
01:49:04.439 --> 01:49:07.479
be we still have a great community around Atlanting United,
1999
01:49:07.560 --> 01:49:09.439
even if our team and our club hates us and
2000
01:49:09.439 --> 01:49:10.119
doesn't want us to.
2001
01:49:10.079 --> 01:49:12.720
Actually experience joy. We have.
2002
01:49:15.880 --> 01:49:19.359
We have great people in the Lanting United Community and
2003
01:49:19.399 --> 01:49:23.039
we are blessed to have those people. Two of y'all
2004
01:49:23.039 --> 01:49:24.840
among that, some of y'all in the chat among that.
2005
01:49:26.560 --> 01:49:29.079
So thank you all for making it special. And we'll
2006
01:49:29.079 --> 01:49:32.159
get through the season. And apparently we don't have anything
2007
01:49:32.199 --> 01:49:34.760
to look forward toward for the next two years anyway,
2008
01:49:34.840 --> 01:49:36.319
so you know we'll get there eventually.
2009
01:49:36.560 --> 01:49:37.079
Uh huh.
2010
01:49:37.199 --> 01:49:39.600
As always And there's my parting shot.
2011
01:49:40.239 --> 01:49:41.520
Yes, bye, there goes.
2012
01:49:41.399 --> 01:49:43.439
Bard Parthian archers and their best.
2013
01:49:43.720 --> 01:49:44.000
Yes.
2014
01:49:44.079 --> 01:49:45.600
But you know what, it's there.
2015
01:49:45.640 --> 01:49:48.960
There is a certain like once you make peace with
2016
01:49:49.000 --> 01:49:51.680
the fact, like, look, this season is this season is
2017
01:49:51.800 --> 01:49:54.479
kind of cooked. And I say kind of because I
2018
01:49:54.479 --> 01:49:58.560
always say kind of because you're not mathematics.
2019
01:49:57.800 --> 01:50:00.720
And that's what I always that's where I always have
2020
01:50:00.840 --> 01:50:04.279
as my basis in the conversations we have. Until you
2021
01:50:04.319 --> 01:50:08.920
are mathematically eliminated, you're still chasing after something. Coaches are
2022
01:50:08.960 --> 01:50:12.239
always looking at players, front office is looking to always improve.
2023
01:50:12.279 --> 01:50:14.359
I would rather have a front office and a coaching
2024
01:50:14.399 --> 01:50:18.680
staff that is willing to continue to chase and try
2025
01:50:18.720 --> 01:50:19.800
to make yourself better.
2026
01:50:20.239 --> 01:50:20.800
And hit the.
2027
01:50:20.720 --> 01:50:24.880
Ground running for you know, whatever the following months are,
2028
01:50:24.920 --> 01:50:26.760
instead of just sitting there going and being all droopy
2029
01:50:26.800 --> 01:50:28.479
dog about everything and going, well, I don't know.
2030
01:50:29.920 --> 01:50:33.520
Well, the thing is is you you have Again, we've
2031
01:50:33.520 --> 01:50:38.239
talked about this before. The winter window this year should
2032
01:50:38.239 --> 01:50:40.359
be a super blood bath. I know Alex and Alex
2033
01:50:40.399 --> 01:50:42.439
Pasi and I have talked about this summer window being
2034
01:50:42.439 --> 01:50:45.960
a blood bath. Winter should be even more so because
2035
01:50:45.960 --> 01:50:47.199
you have a lot of guys who are out of
2036
01:50:47.239 --> 01:50:49.199
contract or coming up on options options.
2037
01:50:49.199 --> 01:50:52.359
I have no interest in picking up Yeah players ended
2038
01:50:52.399 --> 01:50:52.920
this season.
2039
01:50:53.520 --> 01:50:57.279
Yeah, great, beautiful because what you have isn't working. So anyway,
2040
01:50:57.520 --> 01:51:01.520
as I was saying, thanks pretty much. Cooked. Once you
2041
01:51:01.960 --> 01:51:04.760
make peace with the fact that you're cooked, there is
2042
01:51:04.800 --> 01:51:07.479
a certain sick joy you can get in I think.
2043
01:51:07.720 --> 01:51:10.279
I think Atlanta leaves the league in draws. Keep doing that.
2044
01:51:12.520 --> 01:51:15.399
Keep doing that because you're going to play teams that
2045
01:51:15.439 --> 01:51:18.680
are at or above the playoff line. Keep doing draws,
2046
01:51:19.319 --> 01:51:22.880
and keep doing it in the ninety third minute, like,
2047
01:51:23.479 --> 01:51:26.079
if you're not going to make the playoffs, if you're
2048
01:51:26.079 --> 01:51:28.279
not going to spark joy on a daily basis in
2049
01:51:28.359 --> 01:51:33.319
terms of wins, playing the spoiler role as someone who
2050
01:51:33.359 --> 01:51:36.000
has watched the Atlanta Falcons since they were a small child,
2051
01:51:36.199 --> 01:51:38.840
which was a terrible decision to make as a child,
2052
01:51:40.159 --> 01:51:44.319
to invest in that team emotionally, at least ruined if
2053
01:51:44.319 --> 01:51:45.920
you're not going to have a good year, at least
2054
01:51:46.000 --> 01:51:48.600
ruin everyone else's year. Like screw someone out of the
2055
01:51:48.600 --> 01:51:51.399
playoffs with like a late draw on decision day, score
2056
01:51:51.439 --> 01:51:53.079
a goal in the ninety third minute and knock someone
2057
01:51:53.079 --> 01:51:56.239
out of the plaoffs, and like, make sure to drag
2058
01:51:56.359 --> 01:51:59.359
someone down into the misery with you. Well, at least
2059
01:51:59.359 --> 01:52:01.720
you can do is drag someone down there with you.
2060
01:52:02.119 --> 01:52:05.039
Well, that's like the old Calvin and Hobbs cartoon that
2061
01:52:05.079 --> 01:52:11.359
we always reference where Calvin comes to school and he's
2062
01:52:11.560 --> 01:52:15.840
in a really foul mood and Susie comes up and
2063
01:52:16.359 --> 01:52:20.520
is trying to She's wondering why he's in a foul mood,
2064
01:52:21.039 --> 01:52:24.279
and he really doesn't give a whole lot of great
2065
01:52:24.279 --> 01:52:26.800
answers to Susie or anything, and just continues to piss
2066
01:52:26.840 --> 01:52:29.680
her off. And then Susie leaves the conversation being in
2067
01:52:29.720 --> 01:52:32.960
a bad mood. And to your point, that's how the
2068
01:52:33.119 --> 01:52:36.359
frames end is that there's nothing better than sharing your
2069
01:52:36.399 --> 01:52:38.640
bad mood with somebody else and that was basically that
2070
01:52:39.079 --> 01:52:40.399
was the base of the cartoon.
2071
01:52:40.960 --> 01:52:43.399
And so here here comes the bearing of being how
2072
01:52:43.479 --> 01:52:45.880
can spend before you've were talking to being prepared for
2073
01:52:45.920 --> 01:52:51.880
me Atlanta sports fan, But every franchise has had their
2074
01:52:52.079 --> 01:52:55.279
like on only two franchises in the city current of
2075
01:52:55.319 --> 01:52:59.319
the major sports franchises. If you're gonna twist my r
2076
01:52:59.359 --> 01:53:01.439
and tell me the the Georgia's form or three cool
2077
01:53:01.560 --> 01:53:05.359
fine three that one year and I think it was
2078
01:53:05.399 --> 01:53:10.399
twenty sixteen when they won Lacrosse National Championship up in
2079
01:53:10.560 --> 01:53:15.239
like up in like Calgary or something like the top
2080
01:53:15.319 --> 01:53:18.079
like the Thomas brothers just started mulling people with a
2081
01:53:18.159 --> 01:53:18.720
lacrosse stick.
2082
01:53:18.840 --> 01:53:19.239
Was great.
2083
01:53:19.319 --> 01:53:24.479
Oh yeah, le Thomas like scoring like five goals a game.
2084
01:53:27.600 --> 01:53:32.079
The rest of them have have given you something that
2085
01:53:32.279 --> 01:53:36.479
is fun at different points. You know, the Falcons up
2086
01:53:36.600 --> 01:53:40.520
until the Super Bowl fifty one, like up until the
2087
01:53:40.600 --> 01:53:41.239
fourth quarter.
2088
01:53:42.279 --> 01:53:46.520
That's a great right form won the NLL championship.
2089
01:53:46.960 --> 01:53:52.319
Okay, yeah, nineteen ninety eight, absolutely fun ride for the Falcons.
2090
01:53:52.319 --> 01:53:55.359
Hawks had some fun rides. The Braves have had some
2091
01:53:55.439 --> 01:53:59.800
amazingly fun rides. And in fact, I'm very pissy about
2092
01:53:59.800 --> 01:54:03.159
the Braves right now, not necessarily because they're bad, but
2093
01:54:03.239 --> 01:54:06.600
because everyone's acting like the Braves are the Miami Marlins
2094
01:54:06.720 --> 01:54:11.439
and everyone is dooming and glooming. This this team that, yeah,
2095
01:54:11.560 --> 01:54:13.159
it's four years on since you want, it's idle. The
2096
01:54:13.199 --> 01:54:16.119
good will's mostly gone from that, and you need to
2097
01:54:16.119 --> 01:54:18.520
spend some money because you're pulling in an obsea number
2098
01:54:18.520 --> 01:54:21.119
of revenue because Cobb County is paying for your stadium.
2099
01:54:21.600 --> 01:54:23.800
Do not publicly fund your stadiums. I swear to Christ
2100
01:54:24.000 --> 01:54:26.199
stop doing it. Let the billionaires pay for their own
2101
01:54:26.239 --> 01:54:33.920
damn stadiums. But you're not spending in all areas. And
2102
01:54:33.920 --> 01:54:35.760
that'd be great if you were. But don't act like
2103
01:54:35.800 --> 01:54:37.439
this team a couple of you know, a year or
2104
01:54:37.439 --> 01:54:39.960
two ago, was not just fine. Even last year when
2105
01:54:40.000 --> 01:54:43.960
they made the Wildcard, their advanced metrics were like through
2106
01:54:44.000 --> 01:54:46.920
the roof. They were just unfortunate. And this year they're
2107
01:54:46.960 --> 01:54:51.680
just banged up and guys are underperforming. Shit happens. Don't
2108
01:54:51.720 --> 01:54:54.439
don't treat the Braves like they are some perennial loser.
2109
01:54:54.560 --> 01:54:56.720
And where you get to pretend you're a sad sack
2110
01:54:56.760 --> 01:55:00.279
about it all. Every franchise here has given you and
2111
01:55:00.319 --> 01:55:04.279
bad the thing with Atlanta is that it is more
2112
01:55:04.359 --> 01:55:08.640
extreme when it happens. It's just kind of the nature
2113
01:55:08.680 --> 01:55:12.000
of the beast. And Atlanta United has been stuck in
2114
01:55:12.079 --> 01:55:14.399
the mud for a while, but it hasn't been It's
2115
01:55:14.520 --> 01:55:17.439
never been like stuck in the mud for an entire season.
2116
01:55:20.439 --> 01:55:22.119
Well I say that, actually, I say that twenty twenty
2117
01:55:22.199 --> 01:55:24.039
was definitely stuck in the mud for the entire season
2118
01:55:25.079 --> 01:55:30.760
because you because again the fall crumb of everything is
2119
01:55:30.800 --> 01:55:35.079
just a plowing his knee out in Nashville because Franks fired,
2120
01:55:36.239 --> 01:55:37.560
you link through the rest.
2121
01:55:37.359 --> 01:55:41.479
Of the right there that that's the that's your butterfly
2122
01:55:41.520 --> 01:55:42.199
effect moment.
2123
01:55:42.600 --> 01:55:44.600
And then Frank de bars fired and you move on.
2124
01:55:45.399 --> 01:55:50.880
But like after heinse is fired, like that comes in
2125
01:55:51.199 --> 01:55:56.159
and you you make the playoffs, like you you you
2126
01:55:56.239 --> 01:56:00.880
have some fun moments there, like you get the end
2127
01:56:00.920 --> 01:56:03.199
of twenty three, like the wind the summer window in
2128
01:56:03.239 --> 01:56:05.520
twenty three and you come out of the gates firing
2129
01:56:05.560 --> 01:56:07.680
and you're really fun and you take Columbus to a
2130
01:56:07.720 --> 01:56:10.840
third game like last year, you get the late season
2131
01:56:10.880 --> 01:56:13.119
push with Rob Like it has never really been a
2132
01:56:13.159 --> 01:56:15.880
full aside from the COVID year, it feels like you
2133
01:56:15.920 --> 01:56:19.199
haven't really had like the full season of misery. Yeah,
2134
01:56:19.359 --> 01:56:23.600
like you've had stretches of fun and exciting and optimism,
2135
01:56:24.039 --> 01:56:27.640
so that that part's great. And yeah, you'll you'll try,
2136
01:56:27.720 --> 01:56:31.079
you try and get back to it, and you try,
2137
01:56:31.079 --> 01:56:34.840
and they consistently try and swing big to get back
2138
01:56:34.880 --> 01:56:37.000
into it, which I appreciate because I would rather you
2139
01:56:37.079 --> 01:56:41.239
try and swing big, yes, then not to swing at all.
2140
01:56:41.359 --> 01:56:41.520
Now.
2141
01:56:42.000 --> 01:56:46.119
I sometimes rather you swing smaller and smarter.
2142
01:56:45.720 --> 01:56:49.920
Just make contact, get somebody over, hit that ground ball
2143
01:56:50.000 --> 01:56:51.520
to the first base side, and get the runner over
2144
01:56:51.560 --> 01:56:51.880
to third.
2145
01:56:52.079 --> 01:56:52.399
Yes.
2146
01:56:52.880 --> 01:56:56.760
Does that mean that I like John We talked about
2147
01:56:56.760 --> 01:57:00.520
this in the green room when he was sold. When
2148
01:57:00.880 --> 01:57:02.960
Joviolich was sold to Kanpas City, I'm like, if I
2149
01:57:03.039 --> 01:57:06.520
know he was available, I'd have taken Joviolch here right now. Yeah,
2150
01:57:06.680 --> 01:57:11.720
like I would happily taken Yoviolich in Atlanta and saved
2151
01:57:11.760 --> 01:57:13.680
the twenty plus million dollars you spend on a manual
2152
01:57:13.760 --> 01:57:16.039
late lot and spent it elsewhere. And it's not to
2153
01:57:16.039 --> 01:57:20.119
say the latte a lot isn't no trying because you
2154
01:57:20.279 --> 01:57:21.840
absolutely disappointed this year.
2155
01:57:21.960 --> 01:57:24.199
You know what can bring you though, Yeah.
2156
01:57:24.039 --> 01:57:27.239
It's it's not a matter of you know, he's not trying.
2157
01:57:27.279 --> 01:57:27.600
It is.
2158
01:57:28.520 --> 01:57:30.880
He has not converted. He's not getting a ton of chances,
2159
01:57:30.880 --> 01:57:34.000
but he's not converting the chances you get for him.
2160
01:57:34.239 --> 01:57:36.960
And he has not performed to the valuation that you
2161
01:57:37.079 --> 01:57:38.840
set for him. But then most of your players have
2162
01:57:38.960 --> 01:57:42.840
not performed to the valuation that you set for them.
2163
01:57:43.159 --> 01:57:45.119
And those are one of those moments. I'm like, if
2164
01:57:45.199 --> 01:57:50.279
Yovich was available, go get him and and pocket that
2165
01:57:50.319 --> 01:57:54.800
twenty million or spend it elsewhere. Again, We'll see what
2166
01:57:54.840 --> 01:57:57.880
they do in the winter. And again, I know that's
2167
01:57:57.920 --> 01:58:00.880
a broken record. I know we are in a exhaustive,
2168
01:58:02.239 --> 01:58:05.800
very exhaustive sequence where every year it feels like you're
2169
01:58:06.560 --> 01:58:09.159
the ground. Now we've got to Now you're like resetting,

Jeez.
2238
02:01:39.560 --> 02:01:42.159
Okay, So apparently according to build and this is my
2239
02:01:42.479 --> 02:01:46.239
this will be my swan song. Sure Today MLS is
2240
02:01:46.239 --> 02:01:52.079
having to intervene and mediate the domas Mula situation. So
2241
02:01:52.279 --> 02:01:53.479
for those of you that don't know. I don't know
2242
02:01:53.479 --> 02:01:54.359
if you did you go over.
2243
02:01:54.239 --> 02:01:55.720
This already, have not had the chance.
2244
02:01:55.760 --> 02:01:59.119
It is on the okay, okay, So thamas Mula is
2245
02:02:00.000 --> 02:02:06.760
lining up to is lining up to go to Vancouver.
2246
02:02:07.079 --> 02:02:11.520
Right to go in British Columbia. However, the Discovery right
2247
02:02:11.520 --> 02:02:15.199
to sit with Cincinnati, and apparently Cincinnati is being big
2248
02:02:15.239 --> 02:02:21.079
silly heads about it it. Yeah, so we we went
2249
02:02:21.119 --> 02:02:22.920
over this a couple of years ago with the Yelly
2250
02:02:23.000 --> 02:02:27.760
Galaxy give the Royce and I think it was I
2251
02:02:27.760 --> 02:02:31.840
think it was Charlotte had his rights. Yeah, and Charlotte
2252
02:02:31.880 --> 02:02:34.760
was like, well we wanted him. And basically MLS will
2253
02:02:34.760 --> 02:02:37.319
come in and say, that's great that you wanted. You
2254
02:02:37.359 --> 02:02:40.039
know this discovery right things. Discovery is the right thing
2255
02:02:40.079 --> 02:02:42.560
that we put into effect and created our own problem here. Yeah,
2256
02:02:42.560 --> 02:02:45.239
we're going to mediate you figuring out how much money
2257
02:02:45.439 --> 02:02:47.319
you're going to get. So what's gonna end up happening
2258
02:02:47.359 --> 02:02:49.760
is Vancouver is going to get Cincinnati a bunch of money.
2259
02:02:50.640 --> 02:02:52.680
Helped a couple of hundred thousand dollars in cam Yeah,
2260
02:02:52.720 --> 02:02:54.960
maybe I don't know, four hundred and fifty thousand. If
2261
02:02:54.960 --> 02:02:57.279
you asked me to twist if you twisted my arm
2262
02:02:57.319 --> 02:02:58.640
and asked me, I would say, this ends at like
2263
02:02:58.680 --> 02:03:03.640
four fifty in gam then you will give it to Cincinnati.
2264
02:03:03.960 --> 02:03:10.039
Cincinnati will piss off and will give you the discovery rights.
2265
02:03:10.680 --> 02:03:13.760
What I don't expect to happen is for Cincinnati to
2266
02:03:13.840 --> 02:03:16.239
sit there and hold their breath like and spoil Toddler
2267
02:03:16.680 --> 02:03:19.720
in a kmart because they didn't get a toy, and
2268
02:03:19.880 --> 02:03:23.439
kill the deal entirely. I cannot see a world in
2269
02:03:23.520 --> 02:03:27.800
which the league allows domas Mura to fall through to
2270
02:03:27.960 --> 02:03:33.239
Vancouver simply because Cincinnati is throwing a piss fit, And
2271
02:03:33.279 --> 02:03:36.319
then maybe MLS can have a decision and have a
2272
02:03:36.359 --> 02:03:38.319
meeting at some point and go, you know what, Discovery
2273
02:03:38.359 --> 02:03:40.000
rights are carousing more problems than their worth.
2274
02:03:41.359 --> 02:03:47.840
Dibbs are stupid, Dibbs' rights are dumb. That's the bottom line.
2275
02:03:48.399 --> 02:03:53.439
That is the bottom lines, and we have yet to discuss,
2276
02:03:54.760 --> 02:03:57.359
and we'll discuss it tomorrow along with everything else going
2277
02:03:57.399 --> 02:04:02.439
on and around the league, Vancouver stadium situation and people
2278
02:04:02.680 --> 02:04:06.840
in Fort Lauderdale who are mad about the rules of
2279
02:04:06.880 --> 02:04:11.159
engagement as they currently exist involving all star games and
2280
02:04:11.279 --> 02:04:12.800
league events and things like that.
2281
02:04:12.920 --> 02:04:18.000
The same ship. First off, Orge Moss has spent his
2282
02:04:18.239 --> 02:04:21.479
entirety complaining about any and everything that doesn't bend to
2283
02:04:21.560 --> 02:04:24.720
his will since he's been involved with Orlando since Miami.
2284
02:04:25.000 --> 02:04:29.960
Oh I'm so sorry, Orlando, because you actually have a
2285
02:04:30.039 --> 02:04:32.840
sane setup right now and a same manager who beat
2286
02:04:32.840 --> 02:04:34.319
Columbus by two goals over the week, and.
2287
02:04:34.239 --> 02:04:35.960
It took you a long time to get to that.
2288
02:04:36.039 --> 02:04:40.199
Yeah, well they played well. Orlando was good in that game.
2289
02:04:42.479 --> 02:04:45.920
So Moss is complaining about Messy and then you know,
2290
02:04:46.000 --> 02:04:48.319
now you're floating the stories all well, this might impact
2291
02:04:48.359 --> 02:04:50.920
him is if he stays like this.
2292
02:04:50.920 --> 02:04:51.880
This is a this is the.
2293
02:04:51.840 --> 02:04:55.840
Worst thing that's ever happened. You knew the rule. This
2294
02:04:55.920 --> 02:04:58.920
is getting mad at the This is like getting mad
2295
02:04:59.039 --> 02:05:02.399
at the the meter maid who is coming around and
2296
02:05:02.399 --> 02:05:04.520
giving you a ticket after you left your car parked
2297
02:05:04.520 --> 02:05:07.079
on the curve where it says do not park, and
2298
02:05:07.079 --> 02:05:08.520
you didn't leave it for five minutes so you could
2299
02:05:08.560 --> 02:05:10.680
run inside and drop something off. You left it there
2300
02:05:10.680 --> 02:05:12.760
for two hours, and then you're mad about the ticket.
2301
02:05:12.840 --> 02:05:15.920
There you understand that there are rules in place. The
2302
02:05:16.000 --> 02:05:18.359
rules apply to everybody, and by the way, you could
2303
02:05:18.359 --> 02:05:20.960
have gotten around this just come out and say, hey,
2304
02:05:21.800 --> 02:05:24.960
the last game before the All Star break. You're talking
2305
02:05:24.960 --> 02:05:26.880
to MESSI, Hey, you're gonna go play the All Star Game.
2306
02:05:27.399 --> 02:05:28.520
Hell no, I don't want to go play the Ell
2307
02:05:28.520 --> 02:05:33.800
Star Game. Great, Hey, Messi's on our injury report you
2308
02:05:33.880 --> 02:05:37.720
got he's questionable. He's questionable with a hamstring injury. He
2309
02:05:37.800 --> 02:05:42.119
ends up playing that game. Great, Hey that that that
2310
02:05:42.119 --> 02:05:44.880
that hamstring got aggravated. He can't do the All Star
2311
02:05:45.279 --> 02:05:48.359
he cannot play, and just put him on and say
2312
02:05:48.359 --> 02:05:50.399
he's too injured. Have somebody come in and replace him,
2313
02:05:50.920 --> 02:05:52.000
and give the league a run up.
2314
02:05:51.920 --> 02:05:53.079
And say, hey, same with Jordy.
2315
02:05:53.399 --> 02:05:57.920
He'sa Messi's banged up, hamstring, got a he was already sore.
2316
02:05:58.000 --> 02:06:00.439
He was on our injury report and he got a CD.
2317
02:06:01.199 --> 02:06:05.359
He can't play. Have someone come in and replace him. Sorry,
2318
02:06:05.920 --> 02:06:08.159
it happens. And then for the next three games after
2319
02:06:08.159 --> 02:06:10.319
the All Star break, just pretend like that week gave
2320
02:06:10.399 --> 02:06:14.079
him a break. After the next three games, have him
2321
02:06:14.079 --> 02:06:16.760
pop up into a report is questionable, maybe Dadvil one week,
2322
02:06:17.319 --> 02:06:21.399
just just just to build up the tension, have him
2323
02:06:21.439 --> 02:06:26.039
pop on is questionable and have him play. There you go,
2324
02:06:26.319 --> 02:06:29.760
problem solved problems instead of just outright saying he's not
2325
02:06:29.800 --> 02:06:32.439
gonna play and then throwing a little bitch fit because
2326
02:06:32.520 --> 02:06:34.640
you didn't get the entire leak to bend to your
2327
02:06:34.720 --> 02:06:38.239
will and and undo a rule that has been in place.
2328
02:06:38.560 --> 02:06:38.760
Yeah.
2329
02:06:38.840 --> 02:06:40.439
Yeah, you want to change the rule. That's fine, you
2330
02:06:40.640 --> 02:06:44.000
change the rule of the Board of Governors meetings, but
2331
02:06:44.119 --> 02:06:47.159
please stop complaining about every little thing under the sun
2332
02:06:47.239 --> 02:06:51.000
because it doesn't bend to your whim.
2333
02:06:51.039 --> 02:06:53.640
Oh it won't be the last time though, but yeah,

and you still are going to find time and energy
2340
02:07:10.840 --> 02:07:13.880
to bitch and moan about when the few things don't
2341
02:07:13.880 --> 02:07:16.760
go your way. Correct, enjoy another first round elimination.
