But then we're gonna 91 00:04:51,080 --> 00:04:53,080 Speaker 3: have a bunch of home games with grass on the 92 00:04:53,080 --> 00:04:55,960 Speaker 3: field at Lumenfield, so that'll be great. Also, we have 93 00:04:56,080 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: Conker CAF Champions Cup action coming up next month that's 94 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,080 Speaker 3: gonna be both likely in Vancouver for the first leg 95 00:05:04,320 --> 00:05:06,839 Speaker 3: and then over in Spokane for the second leg there 96 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:10,080 Speaker 3: on March eighteenth, So Sounder is not gonna be at 97 00:05:10,120 --> 00:05:13,200 Speaker 3: lumin Field for quite a while.

Yes, we don't get it full time, but 106 00:05:36,279 --> 00:05:39,560 Speaker 3: it's exciting that we will have grass at Luminfield for 107 00:05:39,560 --> 00:05:42,039 Speaker 3: for a good long period here this year. What is 108 00:05:42,040 --> 00:05:45,840 Speaker 3: it if I count up these home games one, two, three, four, five, six, yes, 109 00:05:46,000 --> 00:05:48,760 Speaker 3: seven home games that we're gonna have for Grass for 110 00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 3: the Emlinst regular season for the Sounders this year. 111 00:05:51,000 --> 00:05:53,040 Speaker 2: That is that's pretty cool? All right? 112 00:05:53,360 --> 00:05:55,839 Speaker 3: So I mentioned Ari, I mentioned Steve, I mentioned Osasee 113 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,320 Speaker 3: de Rosario coming up. That's what's on the show tonight. 114 00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:02,640 Speaker 3: Let's quickly get into this two nothing win before we 115 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:08,200 Speaker 3: talk to osase. First things first, and that's injuries. I 116 00:06:08,240 --> 00:06:12,360 Speaker 3: don't have any new update Brian Schmitzer. I believe we're 117 00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 3: trying to get him on. 118 00:06:13,320 --> 00:06:14,679 Speaker 2: KJR later this week. 119 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,400 Speaker 3: It's still Tuesday, so we don't have the full press 120 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:21,440 Speaker 3: conferences yet from Brian updating the situation. So we have 121 00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 3: no update to Jordan Morris past what we know, which 122 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:29,280 Speaker 3: is that is a thigh quad injury. So Jordan, I 123 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 3: mean you think likely a strain coming off the field 124 00:06:32,279 --> 00:06:34,400 Speaker 3: in the sixth minute. In case you didn't see it, 125 00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:40,320 Speaker 3: Jordan Morris injured six minutes into the twenty twenty sixth season. 126 00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:44,400 Speaker 3: Our star winger, forward, attacker gets hurt and you just 127 00:06:44,680 --> 00:06:47,880 Speaker 3: feel for Jordan after such a tough twenty twenty five. 128 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:52,960 Speaker 3: Injured six minutes into twenty twenty six, so that was terrible, 129 00:06:53,000 --> 00:06:55,359 Speaker 3: But don't have any more on that. Also, don't have 130 00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 3: any more on Hassani Dotson. He is in concussion protocol. 131 00:07:00,120 --> 00:07:04,479 Speaker 3: He had a head injury about well, technically it's the 132 00:07:04,560 --> 00:07:07,160 Speaker 3: fifty fifth minute, but it's forty five plus ten because 133 00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:10,200 Speaker 3: it was in the long, long added time of the 134 00:07:10,240 --> 00:07:13,240 Speaker 3: first half. So we know his Sonny Dotson's in concussion 135 00:07:13,280 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 3: protocol and hopefully he recovers and gets back soon. So 136 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,640 Speaker 3: that's on the injury or front. Now I mentioned how 137 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 3: the first half went as long as it did. It 138 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:27,280 Speaker 3: ended up going sixty one minutes, so it was forty 139 00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 3: five minutes plus an additional sixteen of stoppage time and 140 00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: a lot of that you really do have to put 141 00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:40,160 Speaker 3: on the referee, Malik Badawi, and Malik well, how do 142 00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:43,560 Speaker 3: I say this nicely? He had a rough day. He 143 00:07:43,640 --> 00:07:46,640 Speaker 3: lost the plot in a lot of ways, a lot 144 00:07:46,680 --> 00:07:51,000 Speaker 3: of really really bad decisions and bad calls. You know, 145 00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,080 Speaker 3: we can kind of go through the timeline here and 146 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,559 Speaker 3: overall talk about his performance because in this first half, 147 00:07:56,640 --> 00:07:59,000 Speaker 3: which is pretty much where the entire discussion is the 148 00:07:59,040 --> 00:08:01,200 Speaker 3: second half goal will Man as well was great, but 149 00:08:01,760 --> 00:08:04,720 Speaker 3: was to start off. After Jordan Morris get gingered, Paul 150 00:08:04,800 --> 00:08:08,160 Speaker 3: Rothrock comes in for him, and Paul is the man 151 00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 3: of the match and was excellent. Fifteenth minute he runs 152 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:14,400 Speaker 3: down a ball going into the northwest corner of the 153 00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:18,520 Speaker 3: field and slams into the boards to keep the ball 154 00:08:18,600 --> 00:08:22,400 Speaker 3: in bounds, then immediately recovers, gets back into the field 155 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,360 Speaker 3: of play and crosses the ball in Albert Rusnak tremendous header, 156 00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 3: great finish into the back of the net. Won nothing 157 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:32,400 Speaker 3: fifteen minutes in and Paul Rothrock, who came off the bench, 158 00:08:32,440 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 3: I mean Paul said after the game, you know he 159 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:37,480 Speaker 3: had his jersey on when he was on the bench. 160 00:08:37,800 --> 00:08:40,320 Speaker 3: He sort of was just mentally trying to be ready 161 00:08:40,400 --> 00:08:42,680 Speaker 3: because it was the first game of the season. You 162 00:08:42,760 --> 00:08:46,160 Speaker 3: never know what's gonna happen. And Paul was mentally and 163 00:08:46,200 --> 00:08:49,400 Speaker 3: physically ready to go right when Jordan went down, and 164 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 3: he had a hell of a performance off the bench 165 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:55,480 Speaker 3: there coming on for Jordan in the seventh minute. So 166 00:08:55,559 --> 00:08:58,280 Speaker 3: a great job for Paul Rothrock to get to that ball. 167 00:08:58,520 --> 00:08:59,720 Speaker 3: It can't be said enough. 168 00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:00,240 Speaker 4: Now. 169 00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 3: He just works his ass off at every occasion and 170 00:09:03,080 --> 00:09:05,320 Speaker 3: is able to get the assist to Rusnak there in 171 00:09:05,360 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 3: the fifteenth minute again, and that's not taking anything away 172 00:09:08,280 --> 00:09:11,800 Speaker 3: from the job Rusnk did outstanding finished with Russneck's head. 173 00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 3: I think it's something like his only second header goal 174 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,440 Speaker 3: in his career for a guy who has scored an 175 00:09:17,480 --> 00:09:20,400 Speaker 3: insane amount of goals. So a good job by both 176 00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 3: those guys. And now we get into the Malik Badawi 177 00:09:24,960 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 3: the referee whole part of this, because there's a number 178 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,440 Speaker 3: of occasions here in the first half to go through. 179 00:09:30,840 --> 00:09:33,880 Speaker 3: First up in the seventeenth minute, where you have a 180 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:37,160 Speaker 3: free kick, a ball goes into the box. Osase goes 181 00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:39,520 Speaker 3: up for the ball and he kind of heads one 182 00:09:39,559 --> 00:09:42,920 Speaker 3: of the defenders who falls down. The ball bounces back 183 00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,680 Speaker 3: out to Alex Roldan top of the box. Long shot 184 00:09:45,720 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 3: is saved by Zach Stefan, Colorado's goalkeeper, and in the 185 00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,720 Speaker 3: rebound by Hassani Datson slammed into the back of the net. 186 00:09:53,000 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 3: It looked like it was gonna be too nothing. Mister 187 00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,720 Speaker 3: Badawi the referee goes and looks at it in var 188 00:09:59,840 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 3: on his monitor and he reviews it and says that 189 00:10:02,760 --> 00:10:05,920 Speaker 3: on that initial free kick, into the box. OSAs di 190 00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:10,240 Speaker 3: Rosario fouled the defender by hitting him with his head. 191 00:10:10,679 --> 00:10:15,040 Speaker 3: That is complete the words that I can't say on radio. 192 00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:19,280 Speaker 3: And it was just a terrible, beyond terrible, terrible call. 193 00:10:20,040 --> 00:10:22,680 Speaker 3: The defender sold it well. You're gonna hear Osase talk 194 00:10:22,760 --> 00:10:26,560 Speaker 3: about his perspective on this play in just a few minutes, 195 00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 3: and he said himself that the defender sold it really well. 196 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,480 Speaker 3: When Osase's head went into him and he falls down 197 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:37,240 Speaker 3: acting like he just got shot, uh, And clearly Osase 198 00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:40,480 Speaker 3: did not hit him that hard with his head. The referee, 199 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 3: though Badawi, says that's a foul, no goal, that's call 200 00:10:44,200 --> 00:10:49,080 Speaker 3: bad number one. Then twenty fifth minute, a straight red 201 00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:52,120 Speaker 3: card was giving to Colorado's Noah kabb A center back 202 00:10:52,640 --> 00:10:55,480 Speaker 3: for a hard collision with Paul Rothrock on a pass. 203 00:10:56,760 --> 00:10:59,800 Speaker 3: Again Malik Badawi. The referee goes to the monitor on 204 00:10:59,880 --> 00:11:03,520 Speaker 3: v comes off of the monitor and says, it was 205 00:11:03,640 --> 00:11:07,120 Speaker 3: such a reckless challenge, but it's only a yellow card 206 00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:10,400 Speaker 3: and just the way he set it up. The referee 207 00:11:10,960 --> 00:11:14,480 Speaker 3: in speaking to the crowd was just laughable. If it's 208 00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,679 Speaker 3: a reckless challenge, and he elbowed Paul Rothrock in the head. 209 00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,120 Speaker 3: That's a red card, but he changes the red to 210 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,760 Speaker 3: a yellow, which was just call number two questionable and 211 00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:26,640 Speaker 3: just what the hell is this referee doing. 212 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,640 Speaker 2: Later in the first half, Paul Rothrock. 213 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:32,840 Speaker 3: Thirty ninth minute was dragged down in the box, not 214 00:11:33,080 --> 00:11:34,360 Speaker 3: ruled a penalty kick. 215 00:11:34,679 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: I could see that one go both ways. 216 00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:40,920 Speaker 3: But if you're gonna go to VAR for the previous two, 217 00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:44,240 Speaker 3: you gotta go to VR for that. I'll say this again, 218 00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:47,160 Speaker 3: and I say this every single time. All I want 219 00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:51,480 Speaker 3: from referees is consistency, and Malik Badawi could be the 220 00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:55,840 Speaker 3: farthest thing from consistent in this game on Sunday, So 221 00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:58,200 Speaker 3: he doesn't go to VAR despite the fact that Paul 222 00:11:58,280 --> 00:11:59,800 Speaker 3: Rothrock was dragged down in the box. 223 00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:01,160 Speaker 2: So there's that. 224 00:12:02,000 --> 00:12:06,240 Speaker 3: Then later in the unbelievable amount of added time again 225 00:12:06,280 --> 00:12:10,080 Speaker 3: we the MLS record for first half minutes is sixty one. 226 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:14,160 Speaker 3: This game tied the record. According to Noah Rife of 227 00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,440 Speaker 3: Lobbing Scorchers, tied the record for sixty one minutes played 228 00:12:18,880 --> 00:12:22,240 Speaker 3: in the first half of soccer. And in that sixteen 229 00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 3: minutes you have a really hard collision with Hassani Dots 230 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:28,560 Speaker 3: in the midfield. He ends up going into concussion protocol 231 00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:32,160 Speaker 3: for this hit, and I believe there was no card given. 232 00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,360 Speaker 3: There might have been a yellow card given there in 233 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,320 Speaker 3: what was the forty five plus ten. Hassani has to 234 00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:39,360 Speaker 3: come out of the game. Snyder Burnell goes in from 235 00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 3: Snyder Burnell, by the way, great performance, I thought, off 236 00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:45,559 Speaker 3: the bench and plays a Hassani. But you know, overall 237 00:12:45,880 --> 00:12:49,920 Speaker 3: just really really bad. But you know, at the end 238 00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 3: of the day, the Sounders got a two nothing wins, 239 00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,640 Speaker 3: so you can't complain too much. But the referee, Malik 240 00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 3: Bedawi just he lost the plot and he had a 241 00:12:56,960 --> 00:12:59,839 Speaker 3: terrible day at the office. As Callin Rose said on 242 00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:02,920 Speaker 3: the show, it's preseason for all of us refs included. 243 00:13:03,520 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 3: Second half though, great series here in the sixty second 244 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,320 Speaker 3: minute where osaz de Rosario hits a ball out wide 245 00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:12,240 Speaker 3: to the right to Hasus Ferreira. Ferrera Come's streaking up 246 00:13:12,280 --> 00:13:15,560 Speaker 3: the right side and takes a slight deflection, but his 247 00:13:15,720 --> 00:13:17,520 Speaker 3: pass all the way through to the back post for 248 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:20,280 Speaker 3: Paul Rothrock. Rothrock puts it in the back of the 249 00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,960 Speaker 3: ned and that is your two nothing lead. We got 250 00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:24,760 Speaker 3: a couple other subs for the rest of the game. 251 00:13:24,840 --> 00:13:27,440 Speaker 3: Georgie Manongu gets on the field, Danny Mazoski gets on 252 00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:30,600 Speaker 3: the field, Paul Ariola great to see him back, he 253 00:13:30,679 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 3: gets on the field. So at the end of the day, 254 00:13:33,200 --> 00:13:35,280 Speaker 3: the Sounders come away with a two nothing win when 255 00:13:35,320 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 3: this game probably could have been something like four nothing. 256 00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:42,400 Speaker 3: But you know, the referee again in preseason mode. So 257 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:46,360 Speaker 3: that was how the two nothing win went. And the 258 00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 3: whole situation there in the wild first half with the referee. 259 00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 3: What did Osase de Rosario see in that game? What 260 00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 3: happened on that play where they took the goal off 261 00:13:56,559 --> 00:13:59,680 Speaker 3: the board, and how does he think this long road 262 00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,680 Speaker 3: stretch away from Loomin Field will affect the team? A 263 00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 3: lot of good stuff here in my conversation with Osase 264 00:14:05,720 --> 00:14:08,760 Speaker 3: de Rosario, which started with just his reaction after the 265 00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,440 Speaker 3: two nothing win over Colorado. 266 00:14:10,720 --> 00:14:13,080 Speaker 5: First of all, respect to my teammates. It was a 267 00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:15,240 Speaker 5: great win and a shutout. That's what we look for 268 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,480 Speaker 5: and it felt great. I mean winning at home first game, 269 00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:18,480 Speaker 5: no better feeling. 270 00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:20,840 Speaker 3: Take me through the second goal that you were a 271 00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:23,240 Speaker 3: part of hitting that ball out? Why to haesus Ferra, 272 00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:24,360 Speaker 3: what did you see on that play? 273 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,080 Speaker 5: Well, going into the second half, we want to be direct, 274 00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 5: and you know, we want to score goals because one 275 00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,040 Speaker 5: the lead is very dangerous, you know, so we were 276 00:14:33,080 --> 00:14:35,240 Speaker 5: definitely going for a goal in the second half, and 277 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,320 Speaker 5: I felt in that moment, you know, Hazus made a 278 00:14:38,360 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 5: great run and Paul made a great run. Me coming 279 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,040 Speaker 5: into the to the middle, dropping low and the winger 280 00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:47,240 Speaker 5: staying high. It was just a very good team play. 281 00:14:47,320 --> 00:14:50,040 Speaker 5: So yeah, I seen Hazus spun the ball right into him. 282 00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:52,480 Speaker 5: And Hayzus knows what to do. He's a quality player. 283 00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:55,720 Speaker 5: And Paul Rothrock, you know, he's prime time, so we 284 00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,000 Speaker 5: already know what he does. 285 00:14:57,480 --> 00:14:58,240 Speaker 2: We certainly do. 286 00:14:58,680 --> 00:15:00,880 Speaker 3: You know a lot was made about your season and 287 00:15:01,080 --> 00:15:03,280 Speaker 3: scoring a lot of goals, having a lot of success, 288 00:15:03,320 --> 00:15:07,960 Speaker 3: being very much inform, getting the start in the first game. 289 00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 2: Was that any surprise to you. 290 00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:15,320 Speaker 5: Well, I'm gonna say no, I felt like I earned it, 291 00:15:15,360 --> 00:15:18,040 Speaker 5: I deserved it, And uh no, I'm not gonna say 292 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 5: it's a. 293 00:15:18,320 --> 00:15:22,400 Speaker 3: Surprise, right. I love the confidence there. Let's look at 294 00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 3: the other side of that. You've clearly had so much success. 295 00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:26,560 Speaker 3: What do you feel like you need to get better 296 00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:27,200 Speaker 3: at right now? 297 00:15:28,480 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 2: Consistency? 298 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:32,280 Speaker 5: I would say scoring more and more and being more 299 00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,400 Speaker 5: consistent on the scoreboard. You know, there's a lot of 300 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:38,480 Speaker 5: you know, attributes to my game, and you know, playing 301 00:15:38,480 --> 00:15:40,400 Speaker 5: through the league and you know league in in a 302 00:15:40,440 --> 00:15:43,360 Speaker 5: lot of minutes this year, you know I would just progress, 303 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:47,760 Speaker 5: you know, naturally, because through the end of last year, 304 00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,080 Speaker 5: going into preseason this year, I felt like I've you know, 305 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:53,320 Speaker 5: up my game just naturally because the level you know, 306 00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:55,680 Speaker 5: you show you throw a guy into the sharks to 307 00:15:55,720 --> 00:15:57,640 Speaker 5: see if you can swimming. You know, I think I'm 308 00:15:57,800 --> 00:15:58,720 Speaker 5: swimming very well. 309 00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:02,280 Speaker 3: You're one of the sharks. It seems like, let's talk 310 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:04,880 Speaker 3: about the game itself. You mentioned how one nothing leads 311 00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 3: are dangerous. 312 00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:06,880 Speaker 2: The way that. 313 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:09,240 Speaker 3: First half went, you end up playing for sixty one 314 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:10,760 Speaker 3: minutes in that first half. 315 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:12,720 Speaker 1: What was that like dealing. 316 00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:16,240 Speaker 3: With all the for lack of a better word, bs 317 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,000 Speaker 3: that happened with var and the referee and everything else. 318 00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:21,680 Speaker 5: No, well, you have to understand, it's it's the new 319 00:16:22,720 --> 00:16:24,440 Speaker 5: it's a it's it's part of the game in the 320 00:16:24,480 --> 00:16:27,360 Speaker 5: new and the new age in the new world. So 321 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:31,320 Speaker 5: all that stoppages and it's very it's very hard to 322 00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,600 Speaker 5: keep your mind in it because once you stopped the game, 323 00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 5: it's it's like you kind of like lose track of 324 00:16:37,040 --> 00:16:38,960 Speaker 5: what you're you know, you go into the game thinking, 325 00:16:39,080 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 5: so you know, staying focused during those you know, like 326 00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,960 Speaker 5: five minutes while the rest are making decisions and stuff. 327 00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:50,080 Speaker 5: It's all about keeping focus and understanding your job. So 328 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,240 Speaker 5: when it when a game kicks off again, you're not 329 00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,760 Speaker 5: late or you're not you know, Lasa daisical on the 330 00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 5: next play. 331 00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:57,320 Speaker 3: What are your tips for staying focused in that those 332 00:16:57,360 --> 00:16:58,560 Speaker 3: long stretches of VR. 333 00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:03,440 Speaker 5: Well, you know, controlling your breathing. It is a very 334 00:17:03,480 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 5: good one. You know. I've always thought controlling my breathing 335 00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:10,280 Speaker 5: will keep me focused and keep my mind very centered. 336 00:17:10,320 --> 00:17:15,080 Speaker 5: And yeah, I just feel like, you know, as a striker, 337 00:17:15,080 --> 00:17:16,960 Speaker 5: I always want to score a goal, so my mind 338 00:17:17,040 --> 00:17:20,240 Speaker 5: is always stinking. So in those in those moments, establishers, 339 00:17:20,280 --> 00:17:23,320 Speaker 5: I'm always thinking, Okay, what did I learned from these defenders? 340 00:17:23,320 --> 00:17:26,160 Speaker 5: And you know, just you know, keep my mind focused 341 00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 5: in the game, not worried about anything outside, just keeping 342 00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:29,880 Speaker 5: it very focused within the game. 343 00:17:30,440 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 3: In that sense, the play where they go back and 344 00:17:33,359 --> 00:17:35,919 Speaker 3: they say that you fouled the defender and that's what 345 00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:38,199 Speaker 3: led to the goal getting pushed off the board. I 346 00:17:38,200 --> 00:17:40,440 Speaker 3: guess what do you take away from from that situation. 347 00:17:40,840 --> 00:17:43,200 Speaker 5: I mean, I don't think it was. I don't I 348 00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 5: mean it was. It was definitely had to have contact, 349 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 5: but you know, I just I was going for the ball. 350 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:48,520 Speaker 5: He's going for the ball. 351 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:49,919 Speaker 6: You know. 352 00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:53,280 Speaker 5: I guess he sold it in better words. You can 353 00:17:53,320 --> 00:17:55,280 Speaker 5: say it like he went to the ground. I mean 354 00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,479 Speaker 5: I didn't really feel it. He might have felt him 355 00:17:57,480 --> 00:18:01,640 Speaker 5: more than me because I got a hard head. But yeah, no, 356 00:18:01,720 --> 00:18:04,159 Speaker 5: it's it's it was. It was a tough call. It 357 00:18:04,200 --> 00:18:05,840 Speaker 5: was a it was a tough decision for the ref. 358 00:18:05,840 --> 00:18:07,960 Speaker 5: I can't blame them because you know, those those are 359 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,960 Speaker 5: little moments in a game that you know, it's really 360 00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 5: all up to the ref. So yeah, you know, it's okay. 361 00:18:13,040 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 5: Though we came out with the wins, so I'm not 362 00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:16,720 Speaker 5: really that angry now. 363 00:18:17,240 --> 00:18:19,840 Speaker 3: It was very very well said. I don't have to 364 00:18:19,840 --> 00:18:22,360 Speaker 3: say it politically correct. I can say it was a terrible. 365 00:18:22,080 --> 00:18:23,160 Speaker 4: Call, and we can we can. 366 00:18:24,000 --> 00:18:27,639 Speaker 3: You can smile about it now to nothing win. The 367 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:31,000 Speaker 3: interesting thing now is that because they're putting grass down 368 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,800 Speaker 3: at lumin Field for the World Cup, you guys don't 369 00:18:33,800 --> 00:18:36,040 Speaker 3: have a home game here at Lumen for almost two 370 00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:38,560 Speaker 3: months on the road next week at Salt Lake for 371 00:18:38,600 --> 00:18:40,520 Speaker 3: the first of many games on the road. How does 372 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:43,359 Speaker 3: it feel to now have this long road stretch. 373 00:18:44,119 --> 00:18:49,000 Speaker 5: Well, it's it's it's always hard to win away in MLS, 374 00:18:49,040 --> 00:18:51,840 Speaker 5: so we're gonna have to bring well. I would say 375 00:18:51,840 --> 00:18:54,359 Speaker 5: winning this game gave us a good push, gave us 376 00:18:54,359 --> 00:18:57,040 Speaker 5: our confidence we needed to start the season, especially now 377 00:18:57,080 --> 00:19:00,440 Speaker 5: we're playing away from home. So bringing this comf bring 378 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,919 Speaker 5: us win. I think the fans are gonna come and 379 00:19:02,960 --> 00:19:07,280 Speaker 5: support us even over there. That's very important. And you know, 380 00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:09,640 Speaker 5: like I said, the confidence that we're gonna go into 381 00:19:09,680 --> 00:19:12,680 Speaker 5: that game is confidence we're leaving this game with is 382 00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:15,240 Speaker 5: gonna be very important going into day's AWA games. 383 00:19:15,280 --> 00:19:15,600 Speaker 4: Awesome. 384 00:19:15,720 --> 00:19:17,360 Speaker 3: So I was like, good luck to Slake, thank. 385 00:19:17,200 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 5: You very much. 386 00:19:18,000 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 3: Well that's good stuff there from Mossasse de Rosario your 387 00:19:20,560 --> 00:19:23,359 Speaker 3: Sounders Forward.

It's good to 415 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,040 Speaker 4: have games to talk about again. Looking forward to that. 416 00:20:55,280 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 3: It really really is no more previewing and no more 417 00:20:58,359 --> 00:21:01,639 Speaker 3: pronoxticating all of what's the We actually have things to 418 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:05,000 Speaker 3: talk about. Your thoughts on the Sounders two nothing win 419 00:21:05,080 --> 00:21:06,560 Speaker 3: over Colorado. 420 00:21:08,000 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 4: Well, I thought there was a lot to like as 421 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:13,479 Speaker 4: far as the performance offensively. It was great to see 422 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 4: Paul roths Rock have the game that he did. I thought, Hey, 423 00:21:16,640 --> 00:21:19,920 Speaker 4: sust Ferreira looked great. Obviously, I think there is a 424 00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:22,560 Speaker 4: damper on it with the Jordan Morris injury and Hasani 425 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 4: Dotson also coming off. I mean, we'll see what the 426 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:28,679 Speaker 4: severity is on those. But seeing Jordan go down with 427 00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:31,160 Speaker 4: another one is just so tough given everything that he's 428 00:21:31,200 --> 00:21:34,119 Speaker 4: dealt with over the last year, so you feel for 429 00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:37,160 Speaker 4: the guy. But it was good to see Paul roths 430 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:39,480 Speaker 4: Rock get in there and immediately look like his old 431 00:21:39,480 --> 00:21:42,080 Speaker 4: self contract hasn't changed him. So that was all great. 432 00:21:42,840 --> 00:21:46,159 Speaker 4: There was the first half that devolved into chaos with 433 00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:49,680 Speaker 4: the officiating there, which was also unfortunate, but I guess 434 00:21:49,680 --> 00:21:52,639 Speaker 4: it was good content, but that's still I did. I 435 00:21:52,680 --> 00:21:57,320 Speaker 4: did find myself getting very irritated in that first half 436 00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 4: with just you know, a lot of facets of that, 437 00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 4: but how long the delays were. 438 00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:03,719 Speaker 3: For the most part, Yeah, we spent some time on 439 00:22:03,760 --> 00:22:07,960 Speaker 3: that in the first second referee Elik Badawi and his adventures. 440 00:22:08,440 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 3: I imagine when you and Noah did the postgame show 441 00:22:10,920 --> 00:22:12,880 Speaker 3: from Lumenfield, which was by the way, in the booth 442 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:15,879 Speaker 3: right next to us, I thought that was quite fun, folks. 443 00:22:16,080 --> 00:22:19,200 Speaker 3: I used to subscribe to Lobbing Scorches on YouTube. Also, 444 00:22:19,280 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 3: you can get Lobbing Scorches of the podcast on the 445 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 3: iHeartRadio app as well. But their YouTube page they have 446 00:22:24,440 --> 00:22:27,400 Speaker 3: the live kickoff shows on Monday morning under the Lights 447 00:22:27,400 --> 00:22:29,760 Speaker 3: Thursday nights, and then the postgame shows from lumen Field 448 00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:33,200 Speaker 3: as well. I imagine you guys spent some time talking 449 00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,600 Speaker 3: about mister Malik Badawi from the referee standpoint. I thought 450 00:22:37,640 --> 00:22:39,760 Speaker 3: he was abysmal. What did you see? 451 00:22:41,480 --> 00:22:43,440 Speaker 4: I mean, yeah, there were just a lot of issues 452 00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,840 Speaker 4: with it. But for me, again, I think the biggest 453 00:22:46,840 --> 00:22:49,120 Speaker 4: thing I have an issue with is how long these 454 00:22:49,200 --> 00:22:53,480 Speaker 4: var reviews are taking. It seems like there's a disconnect 455 00:22:53,480 --> 00:22:56,120 Speaker 4: between the clear and obvious threshold and just the pure 456 00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:59,679 Speaker 4: amount of time that we are spending on this. You know, 457 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:02,200 Speaker 4: if you go over there and you can't tell very 458 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 4: quickly whether or not the call needs to be overturned, 459 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,240 Speaker 4: then it literally it cannot possibly be clear and obvious. 460 00:23:08,520 --> 00:23:10,640 Speaker 4: So the fact that he's standing there for forty five 461 00:23:10,680 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 4: minutes at a time looking at these calls, it's too much. 462 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,720 Speaker 4: It's too long. You can't have it go that long anytime, Jackson. 463 00:23:16,800 --> 00:23:18,720 Speaker 4: You have a game that is in the first half 464 00:23:18,760 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 4: of the match, and you see the number sixty on 465 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,760 Speaker 4: the clock, that's you shouldn't see that. That shouldn't happen. 466 00:23:25,000 --> 00:23:26,919 Speaker 4: It can't happen. It did not need to happen in 467 00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:29,879 Speaker 4: that situation. So, you know, this guy, apparently this is 468 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,560 Speaker 4: his first ever MLS game, So hopefully he doesn't do 469 00:23:33,600 --> 00:23:36,959 Speaker 4: another one for a while because that was tough. But maybe, 470 00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:38,760 Speaker 4: you know, get back in the film room, get back 471 00:23:38,760 --> 00:23:41,439 Speaker 4: on the training ground, recalibrate, maybe give him another go 472 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:42,200 Speaker 4: in a few weeks. Yeah. 473 00:23:42,200 --> 00:23:44,919 Speaker 3: Callan Rose said in the postgame show, it's preseason for everyone. 474 00:23:45,040 --> 00:23:47,640 Speaker 3: Refs included, I didn't know it was his first game. 475 00:23:48,080 --> 00:23:50,840 Speaker 3: That's an important point I think to bring up. But 476 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:53,639 Speaker 3: your partner with lobbing scorchs, Noah Rive, had the stat 477 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:58,080 Speaker 3: that it tied the record for the longest half in 478 00:23:58,280 --> 00:24:02,160 Speaker 3: MLS history at sixty one minutes plus sixteen outed onto 479 00:24:02,200 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 3: the forty five, So quite insane. There in a great 480 00:24:05,840 --> 00:24:07,440 Speaker 3: stat there from Noah. 481 00:24:07,520 --> 00:24:07,760 Speaker 4: Yeah. 482 00:24:08,080 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 3: Rough rough day from the fishing standpoint, but I guess 483 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,880 Speaker 3: I'll forgive it if it's your first MLS match ever. 484 00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,639 Speaker 3: Now you mentioned Jordan Morris. That is the next question. 485 00:24:16,720 --> 00:24:20,280 Speaker 3: What's your concern meter level? I don't know if we 486 00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:21,960 Speaker 3: want to do the kind of the forest fire you 487 00:24:21,960 --> 00:24:24,800 Speaker 3: know barometer, but what color you are? 488 00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:26,080 Speaker 2: But where are you at with. 489 00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,679 Speaker 3: With Jordan potentially, you know, having this potential quad or 490 00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:32,920 Speaker 3: thigh strain. We know it's a quad thigh injury. Where 491 00:24:33,040 --> 00:24:34,320 Speaker 3: you at with that concern level? 492 00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:38,159 Speaker 4: I mean pretty concern. You know, this is one of 493 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,360 Speaker 4: your designated players who had well documented injury struggles last year, 494 00:24:42,400 --> 00:24:44,720 Speaker 4: and it feels like you were just able to now 495 00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:46,560 Speaker 4: get the off season to ramp him up and get 496 00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,680 Speaker 4: him back, and then he gets hurt within ten minutes 497 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:51,080 Speaker 4: of the first game. I mainly just feel bad for him. 498 00:24:51,080 --> 00:24:54,399 Speaker 4: Like he's spoken about how mentally challenging it was to 499 00:24:54,440 --> 00:24:56,520 Speaker 4: get through last year and seemed like he was ready 500 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:58,440 Speaker 4: to come back and only only to get hurt again, 501 00:24:58,760 --> 00:25:01,400 Speaker 4: and he was so excited, been looking forward to being back. 502 00:25:01,480 --> 00:25:04,679 Speaker 4: So you just you're you're gutted for the guy, but 503 00:25:04,800 --> 00:25:06,600 Speaker 4: you know, as far as how the Sounders are gonna 504 00:25:06,600 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 4: make do without him, I think this roster is uniquely 505 00:25:09,720 --> 00:25:13,360 Speaker 4: set up, as they've shown to withstand injuries like this. Unfortunately, 506 00:25:13,480 --> 00:25:16,000 Speaker 4: you wouldn't like to have played with as without two 507 00:25:16,000 --> 00:25:17,840 Speaker 4: of their designated players as much as they've had to 508 00:25:17,960 --> 00:25:20,160 Speaker 4: over the last year or so. But when you factor 509 00:25:20,200 --> 00:25:22,800 Speaker 4: Pedro de la Vega in there too, as they've had 510 00:25:23,000 --> 00:25:25,320 Speaker 4: their two dps, two out of their three dp's missing 511 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,600 Speaker 4: for a lot of time over the past year or so, 512 00:25:28,280 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 4: and they've managed to make do very well. I mean, 513 00:25:30,880 --> 00:25:33,080 Speaker 4: you saw why last night. Paul Rothrock comes in and 514 00:25:33,080 --> 00:25:35,440 Speaker 4: he looks incredible. He was playing like a deep winger 515 00:25:35,440 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 4: out there. So I mean, you have depth, especially at 516 00:25:38,800 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 4: that spot on the field, to theoretically be able to 517 00:25:42,119 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 4: withstand this and stay afloat and maybe even still be 518 00:25:44,880 --> 00:25:47,119 Speaker 4: really good. It just there is kind of that feeling 519 00:25:47,160 --> 00:25:49,680 Speaker 4: of like, Man, can this team really reach its peak 520 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 4: peak ceiling if two out of the three dps aren't 521 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:55,240 Speaker 4: out there? Maybe, but it makes it more challenging and 522 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:57,159 Speaker 4: more than anything, I just wish we could see it 523 00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,600 Speaker 4: for any extended period of time at all. 524 00:26:00,240 --> 00:26:02,960 Speaker 3: That's exactly right, and we just hopefully can get these 525 00:26:02,960 --> 00:26:06,000 Speaker 3: guys healthy Hasani dots and the concussion protocol too. You 526 00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:09,400 Speaker 3: just need this team to get healthier before they get 527 00:26:09,440 --> 00:26:12,399 Speaker 3: more hurt. Ari Lean was our guest.

Ari, let's 532 00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:26,639 Speaker 3: go around the league and talk about the rest of 533 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:31,920 Speaker 3: MLS and a lot was made about LAFC versus Miami 534 00:26:32,320 --> 00:26:36,560 Speaker 3: at the Coliseum, seventy three thousand people in attendance to 535 00:26:36,560 --> 00:26:41,280 Speaker 3: see LAFC whoop Miami three to nothing. What did you 536 00:26:41,400 --> 00:26:44,000 Speaker 3: see in that dominant effort by the hosts? 537 00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:48,040 Speaker 4: Well, I was surprised at how one sided. That was excellent. 538 00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:51,280 Speaker 4: I mean, I think going into that game, everyone kind 539 00:26:51,280 --> 00:26:53,800 Speaker 4: of considered those two teams top of the league, the 540 00:26:53,840 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 4: top two favorites for everything. Anyone who's picking the Supporter 541 00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,840 Speaker 4: Shield or MLS Cup is picking one of those two teams, 542 00:27:00,119 --> 00:27:02,760 Speaker 4: And frankly, a lot of people were probably picking Inner Miami. 543 00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:04,919 Speaker 4: I know, I was for a lot of stuff, considering 544 00:27:04,960 --> 00:27:07,719 Speaker 4: the off season that they had, all the players that 545 00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:10,360 Speaker 4: they brought in. They have Herman bert ram Now, who 546 00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:12,400 Speaker 4: is the best one of the best strikers in CONCACAF 547 00:27:12,640 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 4: is not the best, and so all the signs pointed 548 00:27:15,640 --> 00:27:19,760 Speaker 4: to them just being an absolute unstoppable force this year, 549 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,439 Speaker 4: and it was kind of surprising to see them not 550 00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:24,720 Speaker 4: only not look like that, but not even look really 551 00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:28,199 Speaker 4: close to lafc's level. You know, I know, Inner Miami 552 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,840 Speaker 4: was the road team in that scenario. Maybe it takes 553 00:27:30,840 --> 00:27:33,640 Speaker 4: some time to ramp up and they eventually do hit 554 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,720 Speaker 4: the level we all expect them to, But for them 555 00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:38,040 Speaker 4: to come out in their MLS Cup title defense and 556 00:27:38,080 --> 00:27:40,680 Speaker 4: look like that, I gotta say I was pretty surprised. 557 00:27:40,720 --> 00:27:42,720 Speaker 4: And I mean I do think you have to equally 558 00:27:42,800 --> 00:27:46,080 Speaker 4: credit and be impressed with LAFC. I mean, Mark des Santos, 559 00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:48,640 Speaker 4: it looks like he's not missed a beat over there, 560 00:27:49,080 --> 00:27:52,480 Speaker 4: and they had a really great offseason I think too, 561 00:27:52,480 --> 00:27:57,639 Speaker 4: purely because they got Stephan Gustakio from Canadian international midfielder 562 00:27:57,800 --> 00:28:01,399 Speaker 4: who looks absolutely like a perfect fits for them so far. So, 563 00:28:01,800 --> 00:28:05,439 Speaker 4: if anything, I think I came out reinforced in the 564 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,280 Speaker 4: in the belief that LAFC is probably the team to 565 00:28:08,320 --> 00:28:11,320 Speaker 4: beat in the West right now, but also pretty surprised 566 00:28:11,320 --> 00:28:15,080 Speaker 4: about that performance from Inner Miami, although I don't think 567 00:28:15,119 --> 00:28:17,879 Speaker 4: that it really means much about Inner Miami's prospects this season. 568 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:20,120 Speaker 4: They're probably still going to be a sixty five plus 569 00:28:20,160 --> 00:28:20,600 Speaker 4: point team. 570 00:28:20,720 --> 00:28:22,680 Speaker 3: Well, that was my next fall up question is how 571 00:28:22,720 --> 00:28:24,919 Speaker 3: this affects your thoughts on Miami. So let me go 572 00:28:24,920 --> 00:28:27,520 Speaker 3: to the other fall up question. What the hell happened 573 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:29,600 Speaker 3: with Messi and the referees at the end of the game. 574 00:28:29,640 --> 00:28:32,520 Speaker 3: Did he really go to their locker room, which is 575 00:28:32,680 --> 00:28:35,840 Speaker 3: which is my mind boggling to think about a player 576 00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 3: going into a referee locker room after the game. 577 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:41,360 Speaker 4: If that happened, yeah, so well so the video I 578 00:28:41,440 --> 00:28:43,800 Speaker 4: saw was that it looked like he was kind of 579 00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:46,680 Speaker 4: going after them and tried to go into an area 580 00:28:46,720 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 4: that people were saying that we're the referees locker room. 581 00:28:48,960 --> 00:28:54,520 Speaker 4: But ironically enough, fus famously cool headed Luis Suarez, it 582 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,360 Speaker 4: was the one who swooped in there and apparently restrained 583 00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,000 Speaker 4: Messi from going in there. So you know, if Louis 584 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:02,280 Speaker 4: Suarez is acting as the voice the reason, you've lost 585 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:04,120 Speaker 4: the plot a little bit, that's not how you usually 586 00:29:04,200 --> 00:29:07,560 Speaker 4: see that go down. But apparently he didn't actually go 587 00:29:07,640 --> 00:29:10,960 Speaker 4: into the re ref's room. He was headed back there 588 00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,400 Speaker 4: got restrained by Luis Tuarez, so he's not going to 589 00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:15,680 Speaker 4: get suspended for it. But the fact that he was 590 00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,920 Speaker 4: that upset about what happened in the game should tell 591 00:29:17,920 --> 00:29:19,040 Speaker 4: you something about how the game went. 592 00:29:19,200 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely so. 593 00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 3: Ari Luine was our guest writer, editor, mlsoccer dot com, 594 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:25,600 Speaker 3: host of Lobbings Scorchers. 595 00:29:26,280 --> 00:29:26,520 Speaker 5: Ari. 596 00:29:27,040 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 3: The other big big news from the last week in 597 00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:32,560 Speaker 3: Major League Soccer is that United States men's national team 598 00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:36,440 Speaker 3: forward Josh Sargent he's moving from England to Believe in 599 00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:40,400 Speaker 3: Norwich back over to North America, not to the States though, 600 00:29:40,640 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 3: he's going to be joining Toronto FC. What do you 601 00:29:43,560 --> 00:29:46,200 Speaker 3: think about this massive move for Toronto? 602 00:29:47,440 --> 00:29:51,160 Speaker 4: Well, if the reports are accurate, they are spending near 603 00:29:51,600 --> 00:29:54,280 Speaker 4: MLS record amount of money to get him over here. 604 00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:57,120 Speaker 4: I'm just about to be over twenty million dollar fee, 605 00:29:57,440 --> 00:29:59,800 Speaker 4: I want to say. So my first reaction is that, 606 00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,120 Speaker 4: you know, I think Josh Sargent's a good player. He's 607 00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,560 Speaker 4: been doing really well with Norwich in the English Championship. 608 00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:06,760 Speaker 4: He's been one of the more consistent goal scorers in 609 00:30:06,800 --> 00:30:08,600 Speaker 4: that league for the last three or four years or 610 00:30:08,600 --> 00:30:11,000 Speaker 4: however long he's been there. Is he a twenty plus 611 00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 4: million dollar striker. That's tough for me to get there, 612 00:30:15,000 --> 00:30:17,000 Speaker 4: But it looks like that's what they're gonna do. And 613 00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 4: Toronto left if they for all their shortcomings, spending isn't 614 00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:22,640 Speaker 4: one of them, they're willing to spend and so if 615 00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:24,880 Speaker 4: they if they want him that badly to spend that 616 00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:27,760 Speaker 4: much money on him, then you know, I say, have 617 00:30:27,880 --> 00:30:31,560 Speaker 4: at it. But is he going to be worse that 618 00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:33,760 Speaker 4: as far to be worth that, he has to be 619 00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,720 Speaker 4: like a golden boot MLS Best eleven type number nine 620 00:30:37,760 --> 00:30:40,240 Speaker 4: for them, And I don't know if he's got that 621 00:30:40,360 --> 00:30:42,680 Speaker 4: type of ceiling, but at the very least their club 622 00:30:42,680 --> 00:30:45,640 Speaker 4: that's searching for kind of just a floor and basic competency. 623 00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:49,960 Speaker 4: So a player like Sergeants could offer you some something 624 00:30:49,960 --> 00:30:51,160 Speaker 4: to that effect, even if. 625 00:30:51,040 --> 00:30:53,640 Speaker 3: They are over paying for Yeah, there's one thing we 626 00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:55,800 Speaker 3: know about Toronto in the last few years. It's paying 627 00:30:55,840 --> 00:30:58,040 Speaker 3: a lot of money for somebody who doesn't live up 628 00:30:58,080 --> 00:31:00,560 Speaker 3: to the promise. So it'll be into to see if 629 00:31:00,600 --> 00:31:03,280 Speaker 3: this one works out where others in recent memory have not. 630 00:31:04,320 --> 00:31:06,880 Speaker 3: What did Miami spend on berts Rame? Because I remember 631 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:09,360 Speaker 3: when we Bercherrame came here to Seattle for League's Cup 632 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 3: and just absolutely, you know, was reckless and in how 633 00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:16,479 Speaker 3: good he was, not reckless bad, reckless good. He just 634 00:31:16,880 --> 00:31:19,080 Speaker 3: was just you know, throttling everything into the back of 635 00:31:19,160 --> 00:31:21,080 Speaker 3: the net. What did Miami spend on him? 636 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:25,480 Speaker 4: I believe there was something around fifteen million, not quite 637 00:31:25,560 --> 00:31:27,840 Speaker 4: the record, but that is kind of the type of 638 00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:30,400 Speaker 4: see that they've been able to drop on anybody they 639 00:31:30,440 --> 00:31:31,320 Speaker 4: want the last couple. 640 00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:33,920 Speaker 3: Of years, right, And I would say bertserame right now. 641 00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,160 Speaker 3: He's probably more dangerous just in terms of if Seattle 642 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:41,960 Speaker 3: is hosting Miami, if Seattle is hosting Toronto, which Striker 643 00:31:42,040 --> 00:31:44,520 Speaker 3: scares me more, bert Rame scares me more. And then 644 00:31:44,560 --> 00:31:47,960 Speaker 3: they paid less for him, So that's interesting ari lasting 645 00:31:47,960 --> 00:31:49,840 Speaker 3: for you. Let's go to kind of standouts from the 646 00:31:49,840 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 3: first week of the MLS season. Big wins for San Diego, Nashville, 647 00:31:54,680 --> 00:31:57,560 Speaker 3: San Jose. Of course it was against a what eighteen 648 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 3: man Kansas City team. What stood out to you you 649 00:32:00,280 --> 00:32:02,280 Speaker 3: from the first week of some big winners. 650 00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:04,920 Speaker 4: Well, I think Nashville is a good shout. I was 651 00:32:04,920 --> 00:32:07,200 Speaker 4: really high on them all off season with the signing 652 00:32:07,280 --> 00:32:09,680 Speaker 4: of Christian Espinosa, which was the biggest free agent on 653 00:32:09,720 --> 00:32:12,480 Speaker 4: the market and kind of just a uniquely good fit 654 00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:14,720 Speaker 4: for them. And I think you've seen it in their 655 00:32:14,720 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 4: first CONCA cav champions Cup game and in this first 656 00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 4: regular season game. Their attack looks pretty unstoppable in a 657 00:32:21,240 --> 00:32:23,280 Speaker 4: way that you would expect it for an attack that 658 00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 4: has Christian Espinoza, Haiti Mutar and Sam Surage. I was 659 00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:29,760 Speaker 4: also this is kind of a more random shot, but 660 00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,440 Speaker 4: I was pretty impressed by the New York Red Bulls. 661 00:32:32,440 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 4: Michael Bradley making his head coaching debut. It's a debut, 662 00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:39,000 Speaker 4: it's a road match in Orlando. He rolls out a 663 00:32:39,000 --> 00:32:42,160 Speaker 4: lineup that has three I believe teenagers in it, similar 664 00:32:42,200 --> 00:32:45,800 Speaker 4: to Seattle's famous lineup at Austin FCS a few years ago. 665 00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,760 Speaker 4: He rolls out a lineup that has three teenagers in it, 666 00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 4: including a guy named a kid named Julian Hall over 667 00:32:52,640 --> 00:32:55,360 Speaker 4: air Chupo Moting who's one of their designated players. So 668 00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:57,480 Speaker 4: that's kind of a gussy move. And then it paid off. 669 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,320 Speaker 4: Julian Hall get the brace. All three of those kids 670 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:01,880 Speaker 4: look really good and then they win the game. So 671 00:33:01,960 --> 00:33:04,560 Speaker 4: you know, we'll see if they can build on that. 672 00:33:04,600 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 4: But I did find myself looking at that and being like, 673 00:33:07,000 --> 00:33:10,040 Speaker 4: all right, Michael Bradley, that's a pretty actually genuinely impressive 674 00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:11,320 Speaker 4: start to your coaching career. 675 00:33:11,640 --> 00:33:15,720 Speaker 3: If if the United States moves on from Potch after 676 00:33:15,760 --> 00:33:19,480 Speaker 3: this World Cup, what do you think Michael Bradley potentially 677 00:33:19,520 --> 00:33:22,040 Speaker 3: is the United next United States men's national team coach. 678 00:33:22,640 --> 00:33:24,960 Speaker 4: I mean, depending on how he does at the club level. 679 00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:27,440 Speaker 4: It's not actually the craziest thing I've ever heard. His 680 00:33:27,600 --> 00:33:30,760 Speaker 4: dad had that job at one point, so you know, 681 00:33:30,840 --> 00:33:33,800 Speaker 4: I would want I want to see him, see him 682 00:33:33,800 --> 00:33:35,560 Speaker 4: a little more at the club level to prove that 683 00:33:35,600 --> 00:33:37,920 Speaker 4: he's got these coaching chops. But you know, if he 684 00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:40,320 Speaker 4: shows that he's good enough, I don't I don't hate it. 685 00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,160 Speaker 3: All right, Ari, We will talk to you next week, 686 00:33:43,240 --> 00:33:45,720 Speaker 3: hopefully the next Salt Lake game. We don't get a 687 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:48,920 Speaker 3: refereeing performance like we got in the opener, so we'll 688 00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:51,360 Speaker 3: talk to you next week here on Sounders Weekly.

Steve ken 715 00:35:06,040 --> 00:35:09,959 Speaker 3: Gelosi joins us right here on kjr's Sounders Weekly show. 716 00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,359 Speaker 2: Steve, how you doing well? 717 00:35:12,440 --> 00:35:16,719 Speaker 6: I guess Jackson it was business taken care of by 718 00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:20,360 Speaker 6: your Seattle sounders. But looking back at that first half 719 00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,879 Speaker 6: at sixty one minutes, we're not getting back. 720 00:35:23,280 --> 00:35:26,920 Speaker 3: Oh that's a great way, but. 721 00:35:28,600 --> 00:35:28,880 Speaker 2: It was. 722 00:35:29,080 --> 00:35:31,200 Speaker 6: It was not you know, it's not going to be 723 00:35:31,239 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 6: classified as a barn burner, but you know, in the 724 00:35:33,920 --> 00:35:36,880 Speaker 6: end you're going to remember the three points I suppose, 725 00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:38,600 Speaker 6: and a nice start for Seattle. 726 00:35:38,760 --> 00:35:41,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, that's sixteen minutes that was added in the first half, 727 00:35:41,760 --> 00:35:43,800 Speaker 3: or that we ended up adding and we added twelve 728 00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:47,680 Speaker 3: which turned into sixteen. Uh yeah, that was that was rough. 729 00:35:47,719 --> 00:35:50,919 Speaker 3: You know, let's just start right there. I know you're 730 00:35:50,960 --> 00:35:55,279 Speaker 3: a broadcaster for Apple TV in the league. I've spent 731 00:35:55,360 --> 00:35:58,200 Speaker 3: a lot of the show giving my thoughts on Malik Badalwi, 732 00:35:58,280 --> 00:36:01,880 Speaker 3: the referee, what was you're and Danny's just take on 733 00:36:02,800 --> 00:36:04,880 Speaker 3: his game there in the first sixty one minutes. 734 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:08,600 Speaker 6: Well, certainly I did not think the Hassani dots and 735 00:36:08,719 --> 00:36:11,600 Speaker 6: goals should have called been called back based on what 736 00:36:11,719 --> 00:36:17,080 Speaker 6: we saw on multiple reviews, and obviously our friends differed 737 00:36:17,120 --> 00:36:21,040 Speaker 6: on that, and that's okay, that's argumentative. You can also 738 00:36:21,160 --> 00:36:24,560 Speaker 6: talk about the rescinded red card, and it was an 739 00:36:24,560 --> 00:36:27,239 Speaker 6: interesting string of events when we were on the air, 740 00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:31,560 Speaker 6: quite frankly, Jackson, because when Bedali pulls out the red card, 741 00:36:32,080 --> 00:36:35,600 Speaker 6: there's a glare because of all of the rain, and 742 00:36:35,880 --> 00:36:38,759 Speaker 6: we didn't pick it up immediately that it was a red. 743 00:36:38,840 --> 00:36:41,320 Speaker 6: On the English broadcast, we were not. It was almost 744 00:36:41,320 --> 00:36:43,920 Speaker 6: like it was orange the way the light was hitting it, 745 00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:46,480 Speaker 6: and because of the nature of the foul that we 746 00:36:46,560 --> 00:36:49,480 Speaker 6: saw in real time, we just thought it was yellow. 747 00:36:49,719 --> 00:36:52,640 Speaker 6: Then we see rock Rock walking off the field, we 748 00:36:52,719 --> 00:36:54,840 Speaker 6: are told indeed. 749 00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:55,440 Speaker 4: It was a red. 750 00:36:55,960 --> 00:36:58,040 Speaker 6: We didn't think there was any basis for. 751 00:36:57,920 --> 00:36:58,760 Speaker 4: It to be a red. 752 00:36:59,040 --> 00:37:01,680 Speaker 6: And then when the referee goes to the monitor at 753 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:04,680 Speaker 6: the end of the day, neither did he so it 754 00:37:04,760 --> 00:37:07,520 Speaker 6: was kind of a mess. But also more than that, 755 00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,000 Speaker 6: the stop start nature of the game is something that 756 00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:15,080 Speaker 6: I don't appreciate, and the referee is always going to 757 00:37:15,120 --> 00:37:18,960 Speaker 6: do what he thinks is justified. I understand that, but 758 00:37:19,400 --> 00:37:22,319 Speaker 6: I thought there were a lot of moments in that 759 00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:26,000 Speaker 6: first half where the referee can give a lot more 760 00:37:26,440 --> 00:37:29,880 Speaker 6: latitude in just calling tactical files. I didn't think he 761 00:37:29,960 --> 00:37:32,239 Speaker 6: had to call as many as he did. It's a 762 00:37:32,239 --> 00:37:36,640 Speaker 6: footnote again, the better team won by multiple goals. If 763 00:37:36,680 --> 00:37:39,279 Speaker 6: the game was called a different way, maybe it would 764 00:37:39,320 --> 00:37:39,680 Speaker 6: have been. 765 00:37:39,600 --> 00:37:41,240 Speaker 4: Three nothing instead of two nothing. 766 00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:43,480 Speaker 3: At the end of the day, Yes, Steven, we spent 767 00:37:43,600 --> 00:37:46,560 Speaker 3: some time, you know, talking pregame about the Sounders attack 768 00:37:46,680 --> 00:37:49,920 Speaker 3: and talking about how all the balance is there and 769 00:37:49,960 --> 00:37:51,680 Speaker 3: how they'll be able to hit you with the width 770 00:37:51,760 --> 00:37:53,840 Speaker 3: of Jordan on the left, and you know, how it 771 00:37:53,840 --> 00:37:56,560 Speaker 3: will work with the midfielders and where Albert Rusnak and 772 00:37:56,560 --> 00:38:00,000 Speaker 3: Hases Ferreira go with Jordan out wide left YadA y'alli. 773 00:38:00,160 --> 00:38:02,400 Speaker 3: We spent a bunch of time with Danny talking about this, 774 00:38:02,800 --> 00:38:06,040 Speaker 3: and six minutes into the game all of our talk 775 00:38:06,040 --> 00:38:09,120 Speaker 3: about the strategy goes out the window when Morris gets 776 00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:12,239 Speaker 3: his thigh quad injury, Paul Rothrock has to come on, 777 00:38:12,880 --> 00:38:16,719 Speaker 3: and you know, just get from your two eyes, what 778 00:38:16,840 --> 00:38:20,000 Speaker 3: did you see Paul Rothrock do so well in his 779 00:38:20,160 --> 00:38:24,520 Speaker 3: time off the bench, coming in for an injured Jordan, showing. 780 00:38:24,239 --> 00:38:27,000 Speaker 6: A little moxie to start, And I think the effort 781 00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:31,319 Speaker 6: setting up the first goal needs no elaborate explanation. I mean, 782 00:38:31,400 --> 00:38:34,480 Speaker 6: that's all hustle, that's just him wanting it in a 783 00:38:34,560 --> 00:38:37,560 Speaker 6: moment more than any other player on the field. But 784 00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:40,520 Speaker 6: there's also the quality of service to tack onto that, 785 00:38:40,840 --> 00:38:43,719 Speaker 6: with Rusna being able to finish on a header, which 786 00:38:43,760 --> 00:38:46,560 Speaker 6: he I don't believe has done too many times in 787 00:38:46,600 --> 00:38:49,560 Speaker 6: his career. You know, it's funny. In the chat with 788 00:38:50,000 --> 00:38:52,600 Speaker 6: Brian Schmitzer that we had leading up to the game 789 00:38:52,680 --> 00:38:55,720 Speaker 6: earlier in the week, he talked about the big picture 790 00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:59,239 Speaker 6: for this Seattle team, and some of it focused on 791 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:02,600 Speaker 6: the goalkeeper with Thomas getting the nod over Fry and 792 00:39:02,719 --> 00:39:05,440 Speaker 6: how Fry feels about all of it. But he also 793 00:39:05,520 --> 00:39:09,319 Speaker 6: added this Stephan Frye has company in guys who are 794 00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:13,799 Speaker 6: in that situation because we have about eighteen guys on 795 00:39:13,840 --> 00:39:18,160 Speaker 6: this team that deserve to start, and Paul Rothrock certainly 796 00:39:18,200 --> 00:39:21,279 Speaker 6: would be one of those eighteen based on what he's 797 00:39:21,320 --> 00:39:23,759 Speaker 6: done in the past and now certainly the statement that 798 00:39:23,800 --> 00:39:26,759 Speaker 6: he makes on opening night. Does he slide into the 799 00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,560 Speaker 6: starting eleven next week because Morris is out well, quite 800 00:39:30,680 --> 00:39:33,200 Speaker 6: possibly we're still awaiting, I believe at this time the 801 00:39:33,280 --> 00:39:36,399 Speaker 6: extent of the Jordan Morris injury. But I think he's 802 00:39:36,440 --> 00:39:40,160 Speaker 6: in a situation where he's shown himself so well and 803 00:39:40,239 --> 00:39:43,440 Speaker 6: now is in this very good place within the locker 804 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:46,239 Speaker 6: room and also among the fan base, of course, which 805 00:39:46,280 --> 00:39:48,560 Speaker 6: is now coming to adore this guy based on what 806 00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,960 Speaker 6: he's contributed, and it figures to be a player who's 807 00:39:51,960 --> 00:39:54,319 Speaker 6: going to play a key role. I'm not sure you 808 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:57,520 Speaker 6: probably locally have a better handle on how close he 809 00:39:57,680 --> 00:39:59,839 Speaker 6: was to leaving, But at the end of the day 810 00:40:00,160 --> 00:40:03,319 Speaker 6: he said, Seattle's in my heart. Probably at the end 811 00:40:03,320 --> 00:40:05,520 Speaker 6: of the day, if that's what your heart's telling you, 812 00:40:05,520 --> 00:40:07,800 Speaker 6: you made the right decision to stay with a Sounders. 813 00:40:07,880 --> 00:40:10,160 Speaker 3: Yeah, he certainly did, and then certainly he's going to 814 00:40:10,239 --> 00:40:13,920 Speaker 3: get some opportunities to start while Morris comes back from injury. 815 00:40:14,280 --> 00:40:17,759 Speaker 3: Steve Cangelosi is our guest. He's Apple TV broadcaster, was 816 00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:21,160 Speaker 3: the voice for it Sounders Colorado Rapids alongside Danny Agan 817 00:40:21,200 --> 00:40:24,120 Speaker 3: Botham last weekend. He'll be also on the call with 818 00:40:24,239 --> 00:40:27,600 Speaker 3: Danny this coming Saturday for Sounders salt Lake four thirty 819 00:40:27,680 --> 00:40:30,960 Speaker 3: kickoff there Apple TV and nine to fifty KM on 820 00:40:31,040 --> 00:40:34,840 Speaker 3: the radio side. Steve, Obviously, we're still a ways away 821 00:40:34,880 --> 00:40:38,040 Speaker 3: from from Saturday against Salt Lake. But the interesting thing 822 00:40:38,520 --> 00:40:40,880 Speaker 3: is that the Sounders are having or not the Sounders, 823 00:40:40,880 --> 00:40:44,640 Speaker 3: but Luminfield is having grass installed for the World Cup. 824 00:40:44,800 --> 00:40:47,480 Speaker 3: They're gonna be away from home for the next five 825 00:40:47,719 --> 00:40:51,200 Speaker 3: MLS regular season games plus any Conca Calf games they play, 826 00:40:51,239 --> 00:40:54,399 Speaker 3: the first one being over and Spokane. You know, I 827 00:40:54,440 --> 00:40:58,160 Speaker 3: know that you've obviously seen so many teams in MLS 828 00:40:58,280 --> 00:41:01,520 Speaker 3: who've undergone stadium situation and have to spend time away. 829 00:41:01,840 --> 00:41:04,360 Speaker 3: Certainly New York City playing in Yankee Stadium one of 830 00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:07,720 Speaker 3: those many many cases. I'm wondering, in your long time 831 00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,879 Speaker 3: around the league and viewing teams that have these situations 832 00:41:10,880 --> 00:41:13,920 Speaker 3: being away from home, the Sounders haven't had this happen often. 833 00:41:14,280 --> 00:41:16,680 Speaker 3: You know, how challenging do you think that this is 834 00:41:16,719 --> 00:41:19,239 Speaker 3: going to be for the Sounders in this stretch where 835 00:41:19,239 --> 00:41:22,799 Speaker 3: they have to playway away, away away and not be 836 00:41:23,040 --> 00:41:25,520 Speaker 3: in their home park, a lumin field for you know, 837 00:41:25,719 --> 00:41:26,800 Speaker 3: almost two months. 838 00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:30,080 Speaker 6: Well, if there was any dearth of leadership at the 839 00:41:30,200 --> 00:41:33,680 Speaker 6: top and people who haven't thought extensively about this, I 840 00:41:33,680 --> 00:41:36,919 Speaker 6: would say it's a potential problem. So I don't think 841 00:41:36,960 --> 00:41:39,960 Speaker 6: it's a big issue for this group in particular, because 842 00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:42,000 Speaker 6: I think by and large, there are a lot of 843 00:41:42,080 --> 00:41:45,719 Speaker 6: veteran leaders with the group that won't allow this to 844 00:41:45,840 --> 00:41:50,840 Speaker 6: be a distraction. I'm aware quite obviously where Seattle is geographically, 845 00:41:50,960 --> 00:41:54,160 Speaker 6: and it's a more challenging travel schedule than most teams 846 00:41:54,160 --> 00:41:57,600 Speaker 6: in Major League Soccer. But I look at it pretty simply, Jackson. 847 00:41:57,600 --> 00:41:59,600 Speaker 6: It all evens out at the end of the day, 848 00:41:59,880 --> 00:42:01,840 Speaker 6: and at the end of the day, you're still lining 849 00:42:01,920 --> 00:42:04,319 Speaker 6: up for seventeen home games, and if that's on the 850 00:42:04,400 --> 00:42:06,840 Speaker 6: back end of the season instead of the first half, 851 00:42:07,040 --> 00:42:10,080 Speaker 6: then so be it. I think good teams navigate this, 852 00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:12,879 Speaker 6: and the Sounders are not alone this season. Obviously, You've 853 00:42:12,920 --> 00:42:15,800 Speaker 6: got an into Miami side that's not going to play 854 00:42:15,800 --> 00:42:19,600 Speaker 6: its first game at home until they opened Miami Freedom 855 00:42:19,640 --> 00:42:22,680 Speaker 6: Park in that first week of April. But the cream 856 00:42:22,719 --> 00:42:25,759 Speaker 6: always rises to the top, and I think with the Sounders, 857 00:42:25,840 --> 00:42:28,040 Speaker 6: you're looking at a top five team, and if the 858 00:42:28,080 --> 00:42:30,719 Speaker 6: points come on the back end instead of the front end, 859 00:42:31,120 --> 00:42:33,800 Speaker 6: so be it. But last night was a nice start, 860 00:42:33,920 --> 00:42:39,279 Speaker 6: and I do understand the desire to start perhaps a 861 00:42:39,280 --> 00:42:41,479 Speaker 6: little faster than you did one year ago. 862 00:42:41,719 --> 00:42:45,080 Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely need that for sure, and hopefully the team 863 00:42:45,120 --> 00:42:47,560 Speaker 3: can play well on the road and continue to start 864 00:42:47,600 --> 00:42:51,359 Speaker 3: after the two nothing win over Colorado. Steveles wrap with this. 865 00:42:51,440 --> 00:42:54,719 Speaker 3: You mentioned Miami. We have the full week in the 866 00:42:54,719 --> 00:42:57,520 Speaker 3: books for Week one of the MLS twenty twenty six season. 867 00:42:57,800 --> 00:43:00,480 Speaker 3: You got some blowouts. We obviously got seven twenty five 868 00:43:00,520 --> 00:43:05,360 Speaker 3: thousand people to see LAFC beating Miami three nothing. Just 869 00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:07,800 Speaker 3: overall your takeaways from the first week of the season 870 00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:08,560 Speaker 3: in this league. 871 00:43:09,360 --> 00:43:13,280 Speaker 6: Yeah, and the LAFC game was eye opening. I haven't 872 00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:15,560 Speaker 6: watched the whole thing yet because I had a couple 873 00:43:15,600 --> 00:43:17,600 Speaker 6: of games on my own. I was in Portland as 874 00:43:17,640 --> 00:43:20,400 Speaker 6: well on Saturday neither as you know, Jackson, but I 875 00:43:20,440 --> 00:43:23,800 Speaker 6: saw the extensive highlights of it. There was a lot 876 00:43:23,880 --> 00:43:27,440 Speaker 6: to read into that game, how good Bowonga was and 877 00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,480 Speaker 6: Dame Saint Clair, the reigning goalkeeper of the Year, who 878 00:43:30,560 --> 00:43:33,640 Speaker 6: was personally responsible for one of those goals. He comes 879 00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:36,359 Speaker 6: off the line makes a mistake on the bowlonga goal. 880 00:43:36,760 --> 00:43:40,560 Speaker 6: Things that cannot happen now. They've rebuilt some things. There's 881 00:43:40,640 --> 00:43:43,080 Speaker 6: a lot of new personnel in Miami, even though they 882 00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:45,279 Speaker 6: are the defending champs, So there are some things for 883 00:43:45,440 --> 00:43:47,880 Speaker 6: Mashadano to work on moving forward. 884 00:43:48,280 --> 00:43:49,640 Speaker 4: Some of the other highlights. 885 00:43:49,680 --> 00:43:52,319 Speaker 6: You know, I'm the New York guy, and to see 886 00:43:52,320 --> 00:43:55,799 Speaker 6: a seventeen year old like Julian Hall be named the 887 00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:59,720 Speaker 6: player of match Day one with the performance he had 888 00:44:00,239 --> 00:44:05,120 Speaker 6: is extremely encouraging for a team there that needs a makeover, 889 00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:08,480 Speaker 6: and that was a wonderful start. My other big takeaway 890 00:44:08,680 --> 00:44:11,239 Speaker 6: kind of swings us back to the Sounders a little bit. 891 00:44:11,719 --> 00:44:14,400 Speaker 6: I really hope in my heart of hearts it's not 892 00:44:14,520 --> 00:44:17,480 Speaker 6: a long time away for Jordan Morris, and I hope 893 00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:19,960 Speaker 6: it's not a long time away for a Vander that's 894 00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:22,600 Speaker 6: one of the best players in the league, who also 895 00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,960 Speaker 6: came off after only eleven minutes. Goes to give you 896 00:44:28,040 --> 00:44:30,920 Speaker 6: remind you of the old adage you can't win anything 897 00:44:31,239 --> 00:44:33,839 Speaker 6: in the opening week of the season, but you sure 898 00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:36,520 Speaker 6: can lose a lot. And I hope those two players, 899 00:44:36,560 --> 00:44:39,480 Speaker 6: two very very important players to the league are going 900 00:44:39,560 --> 00:44:40,160 Speaker 6: to be okay. 901 00:44:40,320 --> 00:44:43,560 Speaker 3: Steve appreciate the time as always, my friend.
