1
00:00:00,200 --> 00:00:02,760
Speaker 1: Here's what an awesome Sunday will be like. Okay, at

2
00:00:02,759 --> 00:00:06,760
Speaker 1: one o'clock the Bengals beat the Bears and then, reeling

3
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:11,040
Speaker 1: from that, Jake zivin Apple TV MLS Season Pass Bears

4
00:00:11,080 --> 00:00:15,360
Speaker 1: fan channels all of his efforts into calling FC Cincinnati

5
00:00:15,360 --> 00:00:17,759
Speaker 1: winning Game two against Columbus, and then the Orange and

6
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:21,200
Speaker 1: Blues celebrate on their field six point thirty on Sunday night.

7
00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:25,119
Speaker 1: Game two of this series. Hell is real winner advances

8
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:28,240
Speaker 1: to the conference semifinals. Jake has the call and kind

9
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:31,040
Speaker 1: enough to join us. I selfishly, I hope that's how

10
00:00:31,080 --> 00:00:32,199
Speaker 1: Sunday works, Jake, how are you?

11
00:00:33,800 --> 00:00:35,560
Speaker 2: I'm great. Look, I'm happy.

12
00:00:35,560 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 3: I'll be in the state of Ohio on Sunday where

13
00:00:38,440 --> 00:00:40,400
Speaker 3: I can watch the Bears game, and you'll just be

14
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,519
Speaker 3: on Network TV right Like it's hard for me to

15
00:00:42,560 --> 00:00:44,320
Speaker 3: watch the Bears game out where I live in Portland,

16
00:00:44,360 --> 00:00:48,080
Speaker 3: so I can watch my Bears similar spot.

17
00:00:47,800 --> 00:00:48,360
Speaker 2: Maybe to the band.

18
00:00:48,360 --> 00:00:51,520
Speaker 3: I'm not convincing the Bears this year and Bengals obviously

19
00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 3: having a tough time as well, so we'll see both

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:55,120
Speaker 3: teams need to win.

21
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: I think no question about that. FC Cincinnati needs to

22
00:01:00,080 --> 00:01:02,600
Speaker 1: and I know they did one nothing in the series.

23
00:01:02,680 --> 00:01:04,480
Speaker 1: I don't want this to go to a game free.

24
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:07,959
Speaker 1: There's too much bad history with Columbus. Close the deal.

25
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:11,600
Speaker 1: The good news is I felt like I felt like

26
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:14,680
Speaker 1: they were really in control on Monday night. Right Columbus

27
00:01:14,680 --> 00:01:17,200
Speaker 1: possesses the ball a lot. FC Cincinnati was able to

28
00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:19,800
Speaker 1: limit that. It didn't feel like once they scored, like

29
00:01:19,840 --> 00:01:22,720
Speaker 1: they were hanging on for deer life, Like if you're

30
00:01:23,160 --> 00:01:25,119
Speaker 1: you want to win, but if you kind of want

31
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:26,560
Speaker 1: to make a statement that you know what, we can

32
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 1: win the East. I thought they did that.

33
00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:31,640
Speaker 3: I agree with you, Mo, I think that Columbus were

34
00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 3: not as dangerous as we're used to them being. And

35
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 3: Cincinnati fans know better than anybody what these will for.

36
00:01:38,080 --> 00:01:41,200
Speaker 3: Nazi Columbus Crew teams look like at their best in

37
00:01:41,240 --> 00:01:43,760
Speaker 3: the attack where it's the letlist and it's rampant, and

38
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 3: to your point.

39
00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,759
Speaker 2: Even if you beat them, you're just.

40
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 3: Kind of hanging on, and it wasn't the case.

41
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:52,320
Speaker 2: On Monday night. Cincinnati were really good.

42
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,400
Speaker 3: I thought they got everything right from a tactical perspective,

43
00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:58,480
Speaker 3: and they were able to neutralize Columbus, who also to

44
00:01:58,560 --> 00:02:02,880
Speaker 3: be fair or missing their new designated player, striker Number nine,

45
00:02:02,880 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 3: with samabu Alee, and I feel like the attack didn't

46
00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:08,640
Speaker 3: have that bite without him, and he's still out for

47
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,520
Speaker 3: you know, least game two, and then I assume game

48
00:02:10,560 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 3: three as well if there is one. And then Cincinnati,

49
00:02:13,280 --> 00:02:16,080
Speaker 3: to your point, did enough in the attack. They created

50
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:18,880
Speaker 3: more chances than Columbus and ultimately they found the one

51
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,480
Speaker 3: goal and that was the difference in the game.

52
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: What's the adjustment you expect from Columbus on Sunday.

53
00:02:24,440 --> 00:02:27,880
Speaker 3: I think they'll be a little more dynamic going forward.

54
00:02:28,600 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 3: I think they're going to try to get their wing

55
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 3: backs involved a little bit more, uh, and just try

56
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 3: to go go quicker. I mean, they were not in

57
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,400
Speaker 3: sync as they usually are, and they're a team that

58
00:02:41,080 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 3: when they're flying, it just looks it looks like it's

59
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 3: like heart almost right, It's like a symphony. It's like

60
00:02:46,880 --> 00:02:48,840
Speaker 3: this piece and this piece, and they know exactly where

61
00:02:48,840 --> 00:02:52,240
Speaker 3: everybody's going to be, and they can find spaces that

62
00:02:52,320 --> 00:02:54,880
Speaker 3: you're not ready for and they want that way. I

63
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:58,760
Speaker 3: think they'll be more ready. I'm interested to see who starts.

64
00:02:58,440 --> 00:02:59,000
Speaker 2: In the attack.

65
00:02:59,120 --> 00:03:02,280
Speaker 3: Will will for Nasi go back to Daniel Gozdog, who

66
00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 3: they spent a lot of money to acquire from the

67
00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:07,360
Speaker 3: Philadelphia Union in April and it hasn't worked out to

68
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:09,760
Speaker 3: the extent that people would have expected. But to me

69
00:03:09,880 --> 00:03:13,359
Speaker 3: that front three, other than Diego Rossi didn't really threaten

70
00:03:13,400 --> 00:03:16,519
Speaker 3: Cincinnati enough on Game one. Well, he really kind of

71
00:03:16,600 --> 00:03:18,280
Speaker 3: rolled the dice and say, all right, look, god dog,

72
00:03:18,600 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 3: you're still a main man. We're paying a lot of

73
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,280
Speaker 3: money to you, and we paid a lot of money

74
00:03:22,280 --> 00:03:25,079
Speaker 3: for you. Now's the time to shign and go back

75
00:03:25,120 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 3: to him to start. I'm curious to see if that's

76
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:29,359
Speaker 3: the move on Sunday.

77
00:03:29,639 --> 00:03:31,840
Speaker 1: I don't know that you could have asked Chris Albright

78
00:03:31,919 --> 00:03:34,720
Speaker 1: to be more active during the transfer window than he

79
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: was late summer, and did so with the stated goal

80
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 1: of we're trying to win that We're trying to win

81
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:42,720
Speaker 1: the MLS Cup this year. These are the things I

82
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:45,440
Speaker 1: need to do they bring back, Brenner. Do you believe

83
00:03:45,480 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: that those series of moves positioned this team to at

84
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:49,800
Speaker 1: least get to the final?

85
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:54,160
Speaker 3: I think well, man, I think they've done as well

86
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:56,760
Speaker 3: as they could to your point, and getting to the

87
00:03:56,800 --> 00:03:59,600
Speaker 3: final in its own right is going to be a

88
00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 3: massive task in the Eastern Conference because the East is

89
00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,840
Speaker 3: so good. But I think they have as good of

90
00:04:05,840 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 3: a chance as anybody, and not just Brenner. Samuel Geedy

91
00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,360
Speaker 3: they love him, and look he started over obin a

92
00:04:12,400 --> 00:04:17,039
Speaker 3: Woboedo who yes got from an injury. But Wobedo started

93
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:19,080
Speaker 3: and played forty five minutes on decision day, and Patt

94
00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 3: Nowton said that Gheedy didn't because he was coming back

95
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 3: from international duty. He was with I think the full

96
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:26,880
Speaker 3: Vaki in under twenty one team, so he had a

97
00:04:26,920 --> 00:04:27,599
Speaker 3: lot of travel.

98
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,880
Speaker 2: But now Wobado.

99
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:32,200
Speaker 3: Has you know, look he went forty five minutes, he started,

100
00:04:32,480 --> 00:04:34,920
Speaker 3: and and and he probably could have started Game one,

101
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:37,200
Speaker 3: maybe not gone ninety minutes, but Pat Nononon went with

102
00:04:37,240 --> 00:04:40,440
Speaker 3: Samuel Geedy and Wobado played what ten minutes to bench,

103
00:04:40,520 --> 00:04:43,440
Speaker 3: So that shows you what they think of Samuel Geede,

104
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,200
Speaker 3: how much trust they have in him, whether you know,

105
00:04:46,480 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 3: in as the playoffs won and if Cincinnati continues on,

106
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,800
Speaker 3: will it be Geedy, will it be Woboedo in that

107
00:04:51,839 --> 00:04:52,760
Speaker 3: spot next to Buka.

108
00:04:52,839 --> 00:04:55,920
Speaker 2: I don't know, but it's it's another big move.

109
00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,279
Speaker 3: I think in the summer that maybe went under the radar,

110
00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:02,160
Speaker 3: overshadowed by Brenner, but a guy who's really helping this team, right.

111
00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:05,200
Speaker 1: Now Philly wins game one, New York City wins Game one,

112
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,680
Speaker 1: Miami wins Game one, FC Cincinnati wins game one. Is

113
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: there a takeaway from the first series of games in

114
00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:11,920
Speaker 1: the East?

115
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:13,640
Speaker 2: Overall?

116
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,560
Speaker 3: So far in these playoffs, it's the dominance of home teams.

117
00:05:16,600 --> 00:05:19,080
Speaker 3: There's only been one away team that's won a game,

118
00:05:19,240 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 3: and that was the team you just mentioned, New York

119
00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:25,200
Speaker 3: City beating Charlotte, which to me that four or five

120
00:05:25,440 --> 00:05:27,840
Speaker 3: was the most kind of up in the air of

121
00:05:27,880 --> 00:05:30,880
Speaker 3: the series. But I think all of the teams that

122
00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,000
Speaker 3: lost Game one are also really good, and it wouldn't

123
00:05:33,040 --> 00:05:35,080
Speaker 3: surprise me if any of them win Game two. Of course,

124
00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:37,640
Speaker 3: that includes the Columbus crew, right who who were a

125
00:05:37,720 --> 00:05:42,799
Speaker 3: fantastic team. Chicago took Philly the penalties. Nashville the team

126
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:45,919
Speaker 3: that I think of all the teams out East, the

127
00:05:45,960 --> 00:05:49,160
Speaker 3: team that didn't show up to the biggest extent on

128
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:51,320
Speaker 3: Game one. They were not very good against Miami and

129
00:05:51,400 --> 00:05:54,039
Speaker 3: controlled that game. They've got a big task ahead in

130
00:05:54,080 --> 00:05:57,360
Speaker 3: Game two. And from a Cincinnati perspective, you're watching that

131
00:05:57,360 --> 00:05:59,960
Speaker 3: that's Saturday night, and you know that if Miami win

132
00:06:00,120 --> 00:06:03,599
Speaker 3: that in Game two, they're through the Semis and Now,

133
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,560
Speaker 3: if if you're Cincinnati and you win Game two, who's

134
00:06:07,560 --> 00:06:10,679
Speaker 3: next for you? It's it's Reenel Messi, it's inter Miami

135
00:06:10,760 --> 00:06:13,120
Speaker 3: coming to Tiquol Stadium in a conference semi final.

136
00:06:13,520 --> 00:06:15,800
Speaker 2: That would be box office. That would be an incredible

137
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 2: game the book.

138
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,839
Speaker 3: Both those teams that have to get through their their

139
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:22,240
Speaker 3: their their Round one series that they're in right now.

140
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,120
Speaker 1: I'm petty. I just want to see Cincinnati to celebrate

141
00:06:25,120 --> 00:06:25,679
Speaker 1: on their field.

142
00:06:27,160 --> 00:06:32,640
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't blame you, of course, of course. Look and

143
00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 3: it'd be a little bit of payback from twenty twenty.

144
00:06:35,200 --> 00:06:35,960
Speaker 2: Three, wouldn't it.

145
00:06:36,080 --> 00:06:40,760
Speaker 3: A little crew celebrated winning the East and advancing to

146
00:06:40,880 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 3: MLS couped Tiquol Stadium in pretty dramatic comeback fashion. U.

147
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,960
Speaker 3: I think it would be cathartic for a lot of

148
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,840
Speaker 3: Cincinnati supporters. What I've learned from calling a lot of

149
00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:54,040
Speaker 3: these games is there is the something, there's something you know,

150
00:06:54,200 --> 00:06:57,159
Speaker 3: yellow and black kind of hanging over Cincinnati supporters right

151
00:06:57,279 --> 00:07:01,159
Speaker 3: Like Columbus have gotten the better of Cincinnati in big games.

152
00:07:01,600 --> 00:07:04,000
Speaker 3: And I think for Cincinnati, if they can turn that

153
00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 3: around this year, that there'd be some guitarists.

154
00:07:06,360 --> 00:07:10,000
Speaker 1: There without question. Uh, you have a great call on Sunday.

155
00:07:10,080 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: We always love having you man. Thanks so much.

156
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,120
Speaker 2: Thanks MO anytime, great to chat
