With the playoffs a week away, 30 00:01:43,920 --> 00:01:45,840 Speaker 2: Glass half mpt. You would be would sure love to 31 00:01:46,319 --> 00:01:48,920 Speaker 2: win these games by more than one nothing. Where are 32 00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:50,800 Speaker 2: you sitting coming out of these last two wins. 33 00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:53,640 Speaker 3: I love shoutouts and love one nothing wins As a coach, 34 00:01:54,200 --> 00:01:56,960 Speaker 3: I'm with you after the game. Let me say this 35 00:01:57,080 --> 00:01:59,320 Speaker 3: after the game, because you have to deal with that pressure. 36 00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:03,040 Speaker 3: Playoff add another level of pressure. So I like it 37 00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:06,240 Speaker 3: after the game. I don't like it holding on to 38 00:02:06,320 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 3: a one nothing win, right, I don't do that. I 39 00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:12,120 Speaker 3: don't think Brian Schpetzer does stress. It's stressful. Yeah, but 40 00:02:12,160 --> 00:02:14,520 Speaker 3: you look today and we got twenty three goals in 41 00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:17,960 Speaker 3: our front, four guys attacking, so I have a lot 42 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:22,600 Speaker 3: of confidence with our attack. It's it's really a unique 43 00:02:22,639 --> 00:02:24,680 Speaker 3: thing in this team in that we have a lot 44 00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:27,600 Speaker 3: of goals between. Morris hasn't had as many as normal 45 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:29,440 Speaker 3: because of due to injury, but then you got Morris 46 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:31,280 Speaker 3: and then you got a Sase and and so we 47 00:02:31,320 --> 00:02:33,160 Speaker 3: actually have quite a bit of depth up front, quite 48 00:02:33,200 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 3: a bit of flexibility in that. But so to answer 49 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,000 Speaker 3: your question, yes, after two one nothing wins back to 50 00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:45,080 Speaker 3: back after great during i'd like less stress. I'd like 51 00:02:45,120 --> 00:02:47,240 Speaker 3: to I'd like to, but it is it is an 52 00:02:47,280 --> 00:02:49,880 Speaker 3: improvement because you go back three or four games and 53 00:02:49,880 --> 00:02:52,120 Speaker 3: we've been given up late goals. So that is a 54 00:02:52,240 --> 00:02:52,919 Speaker 3: real positive. 55 00:02:53,120 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 4: Exactly. 56 00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:55,840 Speaker 2: It sort of feels like, you know, small steps, and 57 00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:58,480 Speaker 2: those small steps are so important where we go from. 58 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 2: You know, giving up that late goal the equalizes to 59 00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:04,160 Speaker 2: winning one nothing and hopefully that next step is winning 60 00:03:04,200 --> 00:03:07,720 Speaker 2: two nothing. This is an interesting game, Pete, and we're 61 00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:09,720 Speaker 2: gonna get into it pretty much, you know throughout I 62 00:03:09,720 --> 00:03:12,640 Speaker 2: think the premat show and we'll start with the lineup 63 00:03:12,680 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 2: and then we'll kind of get into what my big 64 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:17,600 Speaker 2: question is as a fan, and that's why I love 65 00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:20,200 Speaker 2: our dynamic here, Pete is because me and I am 66 00:03:20,240 --> 00:03:22,280 Speaker 2: the fan first. I've always been the fan first. They 67 00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,320 Speaker 2: just put a microphone in front of my face and 68 00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:28,400 Speaker 2: for me as the fan, I have big enormous questions 69 00:03:28,400 --> 00:03:30,840 Speaker 2: about going into this game having already locked in the 70 00:03:30,840 --> 00:03:34,720 Speaker 2: five seed, and you are the coach with a unique 71 00:03:34,720 --> 00:03:38,680 Speaker 2: personality having coached for many, many decades. I want to 72 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: ask you the burning question in a minute. Before we 73 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:45,320 Speaker 2: do that, you talked about exactly who Brian Schmenzer is 74 00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:48,400 Speaker 2: starting today. Let's go right to the delta, starting eleven 75 00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:49,920 Speaker 2: for his Seattle Sounders today. 76 00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:51,720 Speaker 3: It's a good lineup, but it's a little different, but 77 00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:56,240 Speaker 3: it's still quality. Four two three one. Stephan Fry, your 78 00:03:56,280 --> 00:03:59,760 Speaker 3: captain is in goal, Kosa Rienzi is on the right 79 00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:03,240 Speaker 3: back side, Alex roll Don and Jackson Reagan will sit 80 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 3: in the middle. Knew who on the left in front 81 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:09,200 Speaker 3: of the back four JP Jal Paulo, Danny Lava. We've 82 00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:12,920 Speaker 3: seen that combination already recently and earlier in the season. 83 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,880 Speaker 3: And then on the right, Hey Suss Ferrara, the attacking 84 00:04:15,920 --> 00:04:19,800 Speaker 3: midfielder will be Albert Rusnik. Welcome him back. After one 85 00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:22,239 Speaker 3: game off, so he should be sharp. And then Pedro 86 00:04:22,320 --> 00:04:24,160 Speaker 3: de Lavega on the left and Jordan Morris the kid 87 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:25,520 Speaker 3: from Mercer Island up front. 88 00:04:25,360 --> 00:04:27,960 Speaker 2: And should be mentioned the bench before we go any further. 89 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:32,160 Speaker 2: Andrew Thomas, Jonathan Bell, Stuart Hawkins, Reed Baker, Whiting, Snyder Burnell, 90 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,760 Speaker 2: Paul rothrock Osasea di Rossario, Danny Mazowski and Ta come 91 00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:39,920 Speaker 2: A defines player eligible for selection due to extreme hardship. 92 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,160 Speaker 2: It is Peter Kingston up with the team in New 93 00:04:43,240 --> 00:04:47,040 Speaker 2: York City not on that list. Oh, bet Vargas back 94 00:04:47,080 --> 00:04:49,760 Speaker 2: from the U twenty World Cup with Mexico. He did 95 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:52,760 Speaker 2: not it looks like make the trip. Also, Christian rolled 96 00:04:52,800 --> 00:04:55,240 Speaker 2: On back from the United States where he might have 97 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:57,280 Speaker 2: earned a spot on the World Cup roster. By the way, 98 00:04:57,320 --> 00:05:00,720 Speaker 2: maybe that fits into a postgame talk later. But Christian 99 00:05:00,839 --> 00:05:04,360 Speaker 2: roll Don also not there available, so maybe he didn't 100 00:05:04,360 --> 00:05:06,679 Speaker 2: make the trip. So both of them. You have Danny 101 00:05:06,760 --> 00:05:10,240 Speaker 2: Lava JP starting let's start with that. And also Georgie, 102 00:05:10,279 --> 00:05:12,760 Speaker 2: that's a good point, Pete, Georgie manongu Is you hold 103 00:05:12,800 --> 00:05:15,640 Speaker 2: that up not making the trip It seems like either 104 00:05:15,920 --> 00:05:19,080 Speaker 2: as he was also on international duty. Let me get 105 00:05:19,120 --> 00:05:20,960 Speaker 2: to the burning question in a minute. Let's just start 106 00:05:20,960 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 2: with your opening thoughts on the decisions from Brian Schmitzer 107 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:26,599 Speaker 2: to leave those guys and the decision to go with 108 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 2: a very first choice starting lineup in this game where 109 00:05:29,400 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 2: you're already locked into the five seed. 110 00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:33,760 Speaker 3: Well, I like it. I like it for Klannie getting 111 00:05:33,760 --> 00:05:37,920 Speaker 3: another minutes at that right back spot. Alex Roldn can 112 00:05:37,960 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: easily go back there. He's very interchangeable. I think it's 113 00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:43,240 Speaker 3: it's quite an interesting thing. Jonathan Bell, for me, has 114 00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,360 Speaker 3: been good. But Brian Schmitzer puts Alex, ral Don Jackson, Reagan. 115 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:50,120 Speaker 3: He knows best, so I'm not questioned in his decision, 116 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,719 Speaker 3: but it's interesting that he does that. Does he do 117 00:05:52,720 --> 00:05:55,680 Speaker 3: it because he wants Kilanie to get more time? Alex 118 00:05:55,680 --> 00:05:58,360 Speaker 3: can certainly handle that. He and Jackson pairwell together. So 119 00:05:58,640 --> 00:06:00,400 Speaker 3: and then in the middle of the park, Danny and 120 00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:04,080 Speaker 3: JP together. That's great for the two of them. That's 121 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:05,640 Speaker 3: great for the two of them. So this is one 122 00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:07,920 Speaker 3: of those games where they can log more minutes, get 123 00:06:07,920 --> 00:06:11,560 Speaker 3: a little more comfortable with each other, improve on their fitness. 124 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:14,080 Speaker 3: I think that's important, and I do think it's important 125 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:18,520 Speaker 3: that Christian Georgie obed get a little bit of a 126 00:06:18,520 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 3: break because we're going to go into a three game 127 00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:23,200 Speaker 3: series with whoever it is, and we're gonna need them 128 00:06:23,240 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 3: back and they'll be the two that go back in there. 129 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,000 Speaker 3: And then I think it's interesting that Paul Rothrock's not 130 00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 3: in the lineup. Just talking to Danny Jackson just now saying, well, 131 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 3: maybe this is maybe this is the group that attacking 132 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:39,039 Speaker 3: front four is quite impressive, between Pedro and the left, 133 00:06:39,200 --> 00:06:42,080 Speaker 3: Frera on the right, Albert and Jordan. At the beginning 134 00:06:42,120 --> 00:06:44,040 Speaker 3: of the season, that's probably what we thought it was gonna. 135 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:48,160 Speaker 2: Be get this Pete are three designated players, Pedro, Albert Jordan. 136 00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:53,159 Speaker 2: The Sounders as a team are starting the three designated 137 00:06:53,160 --> 00:06:56,120 Speaker 2: players on the roster together for just the fourth time 138 00:06:56,160 --> 00:06:57,520 Speaker 2: in the last two years. 139 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:02,120 Speaker 4: All this year. I mean, but you have that amazing talent. 140 00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,039 Speaker 2: And the question that I had on Sounders Weekly this 141 00:07:04,080 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 2: week was who's the odd man out? With Pedro on 142 00:07:07,080 --> 00:07:10,080 Speaker 2: the left, with Hayes, who's on the right, with Alberta 143 00:07:10,120 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 2: between him and with Jordan up top, is Paul Rothrock 144 00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: left out? 145 00:07:13,360 --> 00:07:15,080 Speaker 4: And we get the answer the answers, Yes. 146 00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 3: Here's the funny thing. It was in the paper a 147 00:07:17,880 --> 00:07:21,600 Speaker 3: couple of days ago, Jade Evans talking about Paul's contract, right, 148 00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:24,760 Speaker 3: and they're in the process of all that. Well, Brian 149 00:07:24,800 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 3: Schmittzer knows that if Paul Rothrock's on the bench, he 150 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 3: has got a caged animal, highly motivated to come in 151 00:07:32,280 --> 00:07:34,760 Speaker 3: and for the third year in a row, maybe prove 152 00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:38,200 Speaker 3: everybody that he should be starting. So it's money in 153 00:07:38,280 --> 00:07:41,600 Speaker 3: the pocket for Brian Schmetzer to put Paul, and Paul 154 00:07:41,840 --> 00:07:44,640 Speaker 3: takes it. Well. I just talked to his Georgetown coach. 155 00:07:44,680 --> 00:07:48,000 Speaker 3: He couldn't have said anything better about Paul Rother Brian Weisze. 156 00:07:48,800 --> 00:07:52,640 Speaker 3: But if Paul comes in, he's going to come in 157 00:07:52,720 --> 00:07:55,360 Speaker 3: guns a blazing and want to make a difference. So 158 00:07:55,400 --> 00:07:57,000 Speaker 3: he scored the game winner in the last game, so 159 00:07:57,280 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 3: I'm sure he's grinding his teeth a little. But this 160 00:08:00,560 --> 00:08:03,320 Speaker 3: could be This could be the group. And that's fascinating. 161 00:08:03,360 --> 00:08:08,000 Speaker 3: Two years, fourth time we've had all three deeps to amazing. 162 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,680 Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, And it's quite a lot of firepower. And 163 00:08:10,880 --> 00:08:12,880 Speaker 2: if this game is close late and you have Paul 164 00:08:12,920 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: coming on, that's quite a weapon. The question for me, 165 00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 2: Pete is will it be close late? Which leads to 166 00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,160 Speaker 2: the burning question and I come out this as a fan, 167 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:24,880 Speaker 2: and right now, the Sounders going into this game are 168 00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:27,640 Speaker 2: locked into the five seed. They cannot move up, they 169 00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,400 Speaker 2: cannot move down. The only thing that they can do 170 00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:32,960 Speaker 2: is get in good run of form. Looking at the 171 00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:36,720 Speaker 2: playoffs starting next week in Minnesota, Los Angeles, or San Diego. 172 00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 2: That's it. That's the motivation. Get in good run of form. 173 00:08:39,840 --> 00:08:42,840 Speaker 2: Maybe you can add more to that. For New York City, 174 00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,520 Speaker 2: they're right now in fifth place, tied on points with 175 00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:47,800 Speaker 2: fourth place Charlotte. 176 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:48,880 Speaker 4: They are quite. 177 00:08:48,640 --> 00:08:52,480 Speaker 2: Literally playing for home advantage in the first round of 178 00:08:52,480 --> 00:08:56,480 Speaker 2: the playoffs and very important seating for the Eastern Conference. 179 00:08:56,720 --> 00:09:00,480 Speaker 2: They are playing for a ton in this game at home. 180 00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:03,559 Speaker 2: I as a fan look at the motivation levels in 181 00:09:03,600 --> 00:09:06,200 Speaker 2: this game and see a New York City team that 182 00:09:06,640 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 2: just in terms of the things that I pointed out 183 00:09:08,920 --> 00:09:13,080 Speaker 2: there are going to be way highly motivated, potentially more 184 00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:15,199 Speaker 2: than the Sounders who are just looking to get in 185 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 2: good run form for the playoffs. I am concerned that 186 00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 2: that maybe the Sounders don't have both feet on the 187 00:09:22,559 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 2: gas that New York does. 188 00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:26,520 Speaker 4: Do I have any leg to stand on with that? 189 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:27,000 Speaker 5: Or? 190 00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:27,720 Speaker 1: Am I am? 191 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 4: I kind of being an irrational fan at that moment. 192 00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:33,800 Speaker 3: No, I think it's a fair question for sure. And 193 00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:38,319 Speaker 3: two words come to mind, pride and opportunity. Because the 194 00:09:38,679 --> 00:09:42,160 Speaker 3: wingers Ferrera and Pedro know that Paul's knocking on the door, 195 00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:43,800 Speaker 3: and if he gets in and gets a goal, he 196 00:09:43,880 --> 00:09:47,000 Speaker 3: might jump back over from JP and Danny Lava are 197 00:09:47,040 --> 00:09:50,840 Speaker 3: wanting to be in the conversation for playing in the playoffs. 198 00:09:51,240 --> 00:09:53,360 Speaker 3: Coz Orienzi the same thing. He wants to be in 199 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:56,360 Speaker 3: that conversation. And then the pride factor. So there's opportity. 200 00:09:56,400 --> 00:09:59,240 Speaker 3: Jordan Morris, he's got four goals to assist. Jordan wants 201 00:09:59,240 --> 00:09:59,839 Speaker 3: to get to six. 202 00:10:00,200 --> 00:10:01,480 Speaker 4: He's to get get in good run off for him. 203 00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,000 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, he wants to get that. So and then 204 00:10:04,040 --> 00:10:06,040 Speaker 3: there's guys knocking on the door that want to come in. 205 00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,720 Speaker 3: Uh Missovski's got to be saying, hey, I got fourteen goals, 206 00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,640 Speaker 3: give me a chance, right, And same with thse ase 207 00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,200 Speaker 3: E with his three goals. So and then there's the 208 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:20,440 Speaker 3: pride factor. And when you ask that question, I immediately 209 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,720 Speaker 3: go to Paul schools from Man United. Okay, So he's 210 00:10:24,000 --> 00:10:26,400 Speaker 3: got to get in a full ninety minute training session 211 00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 3: and he's a he is a veteran starter at Man United, 212 00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,480 Speaker 3: and he's but in order for him to get into 213 00:10:34,480 --> 00:10:36,680 Speaker 3: the first team, he has to get a full session 214 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 3: in the U twenty three's are away, the next team's away. 215 00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:41,720 Speaker 3: He's got to go train with the U nineteens. He 216 00:10:41,760 --> 00:10:44,520 Speaker 3: goes out to practice and he does the running harder 217 00:10:44,559 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 3: than anyone. He does the quality of passing better than anyone. 218 00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:51,480 Speaker 3: And players I heard two interviews. This is you know, 219 00:10:51,600 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 3: ten years ago, right, I had heard two interviews a 220 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:57,320 Speaker 3: player saying that's what a professional looks like. So for 221 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:00,560 Speaker 3: Albert Rusnik, for Stephan Frye, right, we don't know if 222 00:11:00,600 --> 00:11:03,000 Speaker 3: Steph's going to come back another year. He's got a contract, yes, 223 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,320 Speaker 3: but you never know what's going to happen. And it 224 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 3: is the last regular game of the season. And then 225 00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 3: there is a little bit of a caveat we're in 226 00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 3: New York. You're in New York. You got to bring 227 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,920 Speaker 3: your a game right to the Big Apple. So interesting 228 00:11:13,960 --> 00:11:17,720 Speaker 3: factor you mentioned it is that city field is small. 229 00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,520 Speaker 2: Let's let's take a break and let's talk about that, 230 00:11:20,160 --> 00:11:21,760 Speaker 2: because as we kind of get into the opponent Alec 231 00:11:21,840 --> 00:11:23,560 Speaker 2: in the next segment, I think one of the most 232 00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 2: interesting parts of this is where they're playing today. It's Sounders, 233 00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,160 Speaker 2: it's New York City FC. We'll take a break, we'll 234 00:11:29,200 --> 00:11:31,439 Speaker 2: come back on the pre match show and talk about 235 00:11:31,440 --> 00:11:35,400 Speaker 2: the opposition today and talk about this unusual stadium that 236 00:11:35,400 --> 00:11:37,280 Speaker 2: they are playing and as we kind of look on 237 00:11:37,320 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 2: the monitor and get it to look at this unusual 238 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:42,800 Speaker 2: dimensions of city field of baseball stadium, we'll come back 239 00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:44,920 Speaker 2: with more here on the Providence Swedish pre match show 240 00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,480 Speaker 2: sports Radio nine to fifty kr AM. 241 00:11:47,480 --> 00:11:50,800 Speaker 6: Providence and Sounders FC are proud to continue the Community 242 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:53,760 Speaker 6: Assist of the Match.

They enter decision Day same as 308 00:15:17,560 --> 00:15:19,960 Speaker 2: the Sounders, fifth place in their respective conference. 309 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 4: In New York City. 310 00:15:21,400 --> 00:15:23,800 Speaker 2: Is fifth place in the East, but they are tied 311 00:15:23,920 --> 00:15:29,040 Speaker 2: on points with fourth place Charlotte, meaning today Decision Day 312 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,840 Speaker 2: all matches happening at the same time. They will be 313 00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:35,160 Speaker 2: having an eye on the game between Charlotte and Philadelphia 314 00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,880 Speaker 2: to see if they can earn a four seed and 315 00:15:37,960 --> 00:15:40,360 Speaker 2: get home field advantage for the first round. So this 316 00:15:40,400 --> 00:15:43,400 Speaker 2: game is massively important to New York City there for 317 00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,720 Speaker 2: home field in that first round. 318 00:15:44,760 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 4: Best of three. 319 00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,560 Speaker 2: Seventeen eleven and five fifty six points on the season, 320 00:15:48,760 --> 00:15:51,560 Speaker 2: that is four more than the Seattle Sounders fifty two. 321 00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:58,560 Speaker 2: They have eleven us. They have eleven home wins this year. 322 00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,480 Speaker 2: That is the second most in the league only to 323 00:16:01,600 --> 00:16:05,000 Speaker 2: Charlotte and supporter shield winners Philadelphia, who have twelve forty 324 00:16:05,040 --> 00:16:07,640 Speaker 2: nine goals scored, seven less than the Sounders. Forty two 325 00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:10,960 Speaker 2: goals conceded is five less than the Sounders, so good 326 00:16:11,120 --> 00:16:13,560 Speaker 2: in that category. It's been a little bit of an 327 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 2: up and down stretch recently. They lost one to nothing 328 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,840 Speaker 2: in Philadelphia last weekend. Before that, they beat the Red 329 00:16:19,840 --> 00:16:22,800 Speaker 2: Bulls three to two. Before that four nothing, lost to Miami. 330 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 2: Before that, a two nothing went over Charlotte. It's back 331 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,640 Speaker 2: and forth, back and forth for City here over the 332 00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:32,320 Speaker 2: last month or so. But Pete, it's a team, as 333 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 2: we talked about, that's very motivated to get that home field, 334 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 2: and it's also a team playing outside. 335 00:16:37,080 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 4: Of their normal home. 336 00:16:38,520 --> 00:16:41,720 Speaker 2: Normally, this team plays at Yankee Stadium, the baseball stadium. 337 00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,440 Speaker 2: Today they are playing at City Field, the New York 338 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:47,800 Speaker 2: Mets baseball stadium. And as you kind of take a 339 00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 2: look at what that pitch looks like and what that 340 00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 2: field dimensions look like. You know, I had Jessica Sharman, 341 00:16:54,240 --> 00:16:56,680 Speaker 2: who's calling the match for MLS season passed on Apple TV, 342 00:16:57,080 --> 00:16:58,520 Speaker 2: and she said that this is going to be a 343 00:16:58,560 --> 00:17:02,760 Speaker 2: real factor, small tight dimensions of city field for this game. 344 00:17:03,200 --> 00:17:05,280 Speaker 3: I would agree with that. We did a game at 345 00:17:05,400 --> 00:17:08,520 Speaker 3: Yankee Stadium and before the game, we're watching the warm 346 00:17:08,560 --> 00:17:11,240 Speaker 3: up and I'm thinking, it doesn't look that small kickoff. 347 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,120 Speaker 3: I think we should take each team should take one 348 00:17:14,240 --> 00:17:16,879 Speaker 3: or two players off the field because it just looks 349 00:17:16,920 --> 00:17:20,719 Speaker 3: so I'm not kidding. It looks so fulastic, right, And 350 00:17:20,840 --> 00:17:22,880 Speaker 3: it could have been a nine on nine game, would 351 00:17:22,880 --> 00:17:25,199 Speaker 3: have been a much better use of the space. And 352 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:27,040 Speaker 3: it was tiny, and you have an advantage. When I 353 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,480 Speaker 3: coached the kids at Bomas, we played on a. 354 00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,800 Speaker 4: Football I remember that, Yeah, with the. 355 00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:35,080 Speaker 3: Crown and it was sixty five yards wide. Well, we 356 00:17:35,160 --> 00:17:37,840 Speaker 3: got better and better and better at playing in that space, 357 00:17:38,160 --> 00:17:40,159 Speaker 3: and so they do. New York City, in my opinion, 358 00:17:40,200 --> 00:17:42,600 Speaker 3: does have quite an advantage. And then man, this is 359 00:17:42,800 --> 00:17:46,199 Speaker 3: old school NESL days. You're looking at the field and 360 00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:49,959 Speaker 3: third base and second base and the space where the 361 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,639 Speaker 3: dirt is between them is covered in sawed and you 362 00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,800 Speaker 3: just wonder if that saw it's going to stick. And 363 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:58,280 Speaker 3: it's one game that they're playing this in. It's not 364 00:17:58,359 --> 00:18:00,879 Speaker 3: a World Cup game. It's not a you know, a 365 00:18:02,520 --> 00:18:05,120 Speaker 3: club World Cup game. So I can't imagine the grounds 366 00:18:05,240 --> 00:18:08,359 Speaker 3: crew was as focused and dialed in. So it'll be 367 00:18:08,400 --> 00:18:10,640 Speaker 3: interesting to see what that surface looks like. And it's 368 00:18:11,040 --> 00:18:13,960 Speaker 3: it's in, you know, one side of the field. It's 369 00:18:13,960 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 3: not down the middle. That's the good news. It's just 370 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:19,879 Speaker 3: ten yards in. But the spacing is different, and it 371 00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:22,760 Speaker 3: also means that you play obviously play different right you 372 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,159 Speaker 3: can go direct real quick. A diagonal ball can be 373 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,880 Speaker 3: you know, hit from your defensive third and springs someone 374 00:18:29,960 --> 00:18:33,119 Speaker 3: right away. So the width is the biggest issue. And 375 00:18:33,200 --> 00:18:36,000 Speaker 3: you know, we've got wingers that can cut inside. With Pedro, 376 00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:38,639 Speaker 3: we've seen him score some great goals. So it'll be 377 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:40,800 Speaker 3: interesting to see how we adjust. But it is it 378 00:18:40,920 --> 00:18:45,119 Speaker 3: is a different style of play when it's that narrow. 379 00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,080 Speaker 3: It's so much tighter. You have to move the ball 380 00:18:47,160 --> 00:18:51,160 Speaker 3: so much quicker. And I would give City the advantage 381 00:18:51,200 --> 00:18:53,040 Speaker 3: in that regard. And then also the fact that they 382 00:18:53,080 --> 00:18:53,840 Speaker 3: need this win. 383 00:18:53,920 --> 00:18:55,760 Speaker 2: Because they are used to playing in those sort of 384 00:18:56,040 --> 00:18:59,359 Speaker 2: smaller dimensions with Yankee Stadium, I know it's even smaller today. 385 00:18:59,480 --> 00:19:02,440 Speaker 2: They got to Lonzo Martinez from Costa Rica. He's somebody 386 00:19:02,440 --> 00:19:04,920 Speaker 2: to watch. Came over from Belgium a couple of years ago. 387 00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:09,200 Speaker 2: Sixteen goals last year, seventeen goals this year. Hannis Wolf 388 00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,040 Speaker 2: second on the team with eleven goals, also second in 389 00:19:12,040 --> 00:19:15,760 Speaker 2: New York City with seven assists. Maxi Morales is just 390 00:19:15,840 --> 00:19:18,040 Speaker 2: an ageless. 391 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,680 Speaker 4: One eleven assists, leads their team. They can play quick. 392 00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:23,080 Speaker 2: But you know, if this game ends up being, you know, 393 00:19:23,240 --> 00:19:26,640 Speaker 2: a defensive struggle because the offenses are playing quick, they're 394 00:19:26,680 --> 00:19:29,440 Speaker 2: playing direct, and they're playing fast, it could be turned 395 00:19:29,480 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 2: into a fun electric decision day. And you know, I guess, well, 396 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:36,640 Speaker 2: you're trying to find good run reform and look good 397 00:19:36,640 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 2: offensively going into the playoffs. Maybe this isn't good for 398 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 2: a team like this to play in these kind of dimensions. 399 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:43,320 Speaker 3: Yeah, and all of those guys are starting. Here's the 400 00:19:43,359 --> 00:19:45,600 Speaker 3: other cap. Yeah, yep, they're a five four to one. 401 00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:47,480 Speaker 3: What does that tell you? In that tight of space, 402 00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 3: they're gonna park the bus. We thought Minnesota, you know, 403 00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:52,440 Speaker 3: did a good job of doing that. They were very 404 00:19:52,440 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 3: good with five at the back, but you know, Martinez 405 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 3: upfront is very dangerous, but he's on an island by himself. 406 00:19:57,920 --> 00:19:59,679 Speaker 3: Now they're gonna, I don't know if they're gonna go 407 00:19:59,720 --> 00:20:03,040 Speaker 3: for the counter tech option, but with the space being 408 00:20:03,080 --> 00:20:07,000 Speaker 3: this small, five defenders is a lot of congestion around 409 00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 3: their box. 410 00:20:07,520 --> 00:20:09,840 Speaker 2: That is interesting because Pascal Johnson I was kind of 411 00:20:09,840 --> 00:20:12,040 Speaker 2: reading about him their head coach in his first year. 412 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:14,840 Speaker 2: He led a team in Hungary last year before making 413 00:20:14,840 --> 00:20:18,600 Speaker 2: the move. His style apparently is very aggressive, attacking high pressure. 414 00:20:18,920 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 2: So five to four to one, we'll see how that 415 00:20:21,400 --> 00:20:24,960 Speaker 2: manifests itself today with a very very lethal score in 416 00:20:25,040 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 2: Alonzo Martinez against a Sounder team that is dealing with 417 00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,280 Speaker 2: a couple injuries. Kim Ki Yemargomez on Jardi in the 418 00:20:31,320 --> 00:20:33,400 Speaker 2: back end. Will dive into the Provident Swedish Team health 419 00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,520 Speaker 2: report presented by Providence Swedish as always the official healthcare 420 00:20:36,560 --> 00:20:40,040 Speaker 2: partner of Sounders. FC Yamar out with the hamstring, Kimki 421 00:20:40,080 --> 00:20:42,479 Speaker 2: he out with a calf injury, Ryan Kent' still out 422 00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:44,920 Speaker 2: the hamstring and Paul Oriol out at the ACL. Tair 423 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,560 Speaker 2: Al Chuldan starting center back next to Jackson Reagan today. 424 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:52,160 Speaker 2: So in that regard, you definitely want to make sure 425 00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:55,080 Speaker 2: that Alonzo Martinez is covered because that is a very 426 00:20:55,440 --> 00:20:58,639 Speaker 2: very potent New York attack in this type of small space. 427 00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:00,760 Speaker 2: All Right, we'll get a break. We'll get to our 428 00:21:00,800 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 2: Sounders players to watch next.

Jordan Morris needs a goal today. 504 00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:05,400 Speaker 3: By does that mean? I agree? 505 00:25:05,480 --> 00:25:08,360 Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly, because because that's my player to watch, 506 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:10,520 Speaker 2: and I think that Jordan he needs to get off 507 00:25:10,520 --> 00:25:12,800 Speaker 2: the schneid. I mean, he scored the goal to make 508 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:15,199 Speaker 2: him the club's all time leading scorer and he's been 509 00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:18,040 Speaker 2: shut out since. He needs to be in good form 510 00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 2: going into the playoffs, and you know, having the penalty 511 00:25:21,240 --> 00:25:24,080 Speaker 2: saved last week, it wasn't a well taken penalty. He 512 00:25:24,320 --> 00:25:26,359 Speaker 2: needs to get that confidence. He needs to get in 513 00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:30,119 Speaker 2: good reform. And I think Jordan Morris needs to score 514 00:25:30,200 --> 00:25:33,280 Speaker 2: today for a lot of reasons, but mostly just for 515 00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:34,080 Speaker 2: his confidence. 516 00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:35,720 Speaker 3: I agree, and I think you'll get the service from 517 00:25:35,720 --> 00:25:39,640 Speaker 3: the flanks. You'll get service from Albert again. The narrowness 518 00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:42,840 Speaker 3: of the field will get keep the ball closer to 519 00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:44,680 Speaker 3: him at all times. He needs to stay in the 520 00:25:44,720 --> 00:25:46,679 Speaker 3: width of the goal or the width of the sixth 521 00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 3: because that's where he does his best work, between the 522 00:25:49,760 --> 00:25:52,560 Speaker 3: penalty spot and the six yard bucks, right in between 523 00:25:52,680 --> 00:25:55,200 Speaker 3: the posts if you get to that near post. So yeah, 524 00:25:55,280 --> 00:25:58,119 Speaker 3: I agree, and I think that's why Brian Spetzer has 525 00:25:58,200 --> 00:26:01,000 Speaker 3: him on is because he knows what Danny doing and 526 00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,040 Speaker 3: he's trying to get Jordan going well. 527 00:26:03,240 --> 00:26:05,240 Speaker 4: You mentioned Hazus Frere earlier this week. 528 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:06,840 Speaker 2: I had the chance to be out at Long Acres 529 00:26:06,920 --> 00:26:09,560 Speaker 2: for practice and catch up with Hazus Ferrera looking ahead 530 00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:12,440 Speaker 2: to this Decision Day match against New York City. Hazy's 531 00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:15,280 Speaker 2: Decision Day New York City FC just thoughts on the 532 00:26:15,320 --> 00:26:16,400 Speaker 2: match coming up on Saturday. 533 00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:18,320 Speaker 23: Yeah, no, I think for us it is still an 534 00:26:18,359 --> 00:26:21,920 Speaker 23: important match, no matter if it changes anything, which for 535 00:26:22,080 --> 00:26:25,040 Speaker 23: us it doesn't really change much, but we're still going 536 00:26:25,119 --> 00:26:26,520 Speaker 23: to have the mentality of a playoff game. 537 00:26:26,840 --> 00:26:27,879 Speaker 21: We know how good of a. 538 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:31,040 Speaker 23: Team they are, and that's going to help us set 539 00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 23: a standard for us in the way that we want 540 00:26:33,600 --> 00:26:37,440 Speaker 23: to approach playoffs. And so going against a good team, 541 00:26:38,720 --> 00:26:41,080 Speaker 23: it's gonna be a great game, but that's gonna just 542 00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:43,680 Speaker 23: be another momentum of a playoff match. You know, we 543 00:26:43,760 --> 00:26:47,480 Speaker 23: came off from playing Vancouver, which it was an intense match. 544 00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 23: It showed us a playoff moment, and then we go 545 00:26:49,920 --> 00:26:53,560 Speaker 23: to Portland still a playoff match, showed moments, and then 546 00:26:53,600 --> 00:26:55,600 Speaker 23: you have ourselves where we have to grind till the 547 00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,280 Speaker 23: last minute and the game is about inches. And so 548 00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:01,560 Speaker 23: we're not going into New York just to just to 549 00:27:01,600 --> 00:27:03,360 Speaker 23: mess around. We're gonna go there to try to get 550 00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,680 Speaker 23: the three points and do our best. 551 00:27:05,920 --> 00:27:08,200 Speaker 2: You mentioned New York's a good team, they're obviously fighting 552 00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:10,840 Speaker 2: for a home advantage there in the first round of 553 00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:13,159 Speaker 2: the playoffs. What do you expect from that New York 554 00:27:13,200 --> 00:27:13,640 Speaker 2: City team? 555 00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,720 Speaker 23: Now, we expect a good team with the ryn mentality 556 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:19,000 Speaker 23: to play and obviously they have something to play for, 557 00:27:19,119 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 23: and so they're going with everything that they got. Obviously, 558 00:27:22,880 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 23: you know how important home field advantage is in the playoffs, 559 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:27,920 Speaker 23: and so I'm sure that they're going to be motivated. 560 00:27:28,760 --> 00:27:31,200 Speaker 13: But we're also motivated to get three points. We don't 561 00:27:31,240 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 13: care who's in our way. 562 00:27:32,960 --> 00:27:36,240 Speaker 23: We have a deep squad that can play against anybody, 563 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:40,640 Speaker 23: and so we're excited for the opportunity and to start 564 00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:42,800 Speaker 23: going because you know, the best thing about playoffs is 565 00:27:42,840 --> 00:27:45,840 Speaker 23: that anybody can make a round, and so starting starting 566 00:27:45,960 --> 00:27:47,320 Speaker 23: early is the best thing for us. 567 00:27:47,560 --> 00:27:49,520 Speaker 2: We certainly know that here where any team can win 568 00:27:49,600 --> 00:27:52,840 Speaker 2: him as Cup, like twenty sixteen. You know, it's interesting, 569 00:27:52,880 --> 00:27:54,480 Speaker 2: you guys are in the eastern slate of games at 570 00:27:54,480 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 2: three pm Pacific, and then all the Western games are 571 00:27:57,359 --> 00:27:59,560 Speaker 2: at six pm while you guys are in the air 572 00:27:59,600 --> 00:28:02,320 Speaker 2: coming down back to Seattle when that flight lands, or 573 00:28:02,320 --> 00:28:04,480 Speaker 2: maybe you're following mid mid flight, but like when that 574 00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:06,919 Speaker 2: plane lands, how quickly are you guys opening up your 575 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,320 Speaker 2: phones seeing who wanted to see who you guys faced. 576 00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,959 Speaker 23: Yeah, I think I'm sure the coaching staffs are going 577 00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 23: to be the first ones and let it now. But 578 00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:16,240 Speaker 23: you know, we we know what we have to do, 579 00:28:16,320 --> 00:28:18,320 Speaker 23: and we're going to take care of what we can control, 580 00:28:18,440 --> 00:28:21,440 Speaker 23: you know. Besides that that that's we can't control anything 581 00:28:21,480 --> 00:28:24,200 Speaker 23: else of what other teams do. But all we know 582 00:28:24,320 --> 00:28:25,800 Speaker 23: is that we're gonna have to play two games away 583 00:28:25,880 --> 00:28:27,920 Speaker 23: and and that's gonna be tough. But we have the 584 00:28:28,280 --> 00:28:30,240 Speaker 23: mentality and the and the team to to be able 585 00:28:30,280 --> 00:28:32,200 Speaker 23: to do it. And so whoever we have to face, 586 00:28:32,280 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 23: I'm sure that they're not happy to come here to 587 00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:37,920 Speaker 23: Seattle either, and so or to face us and in 588 00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:42,120 Speaker 23: any way, and so we'll take We'll take whoever we get, 589 00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:45,000 Speaker 23: and and we just have to play as a team 590 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:46,800 Speaker 23: that we know how to do and and we have 591 00:28:46,880 --> 00:28:47,680 Speaker 23: the mentality to do it. 592 00:28:47,800 --> 00:28:48,360 Speaker 5: A f C. 593 00:28:48,520 --> 00:28:50,600 Speaker 2: San Diego Minnesota, I don't imagine there's a preference. 594 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:53,880 Speaker 23: No, I think there are tough teams there are in 595 00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,080 Speaker 23: a good stretch. You know, San Diego and LA and 596 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:01,560 Speaker 23: Minnesota all have good players, talent squad, they have their 597 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:04,280 Speaker 23: their tactics, their way to play, and so we're gonna 598 00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,240 Speaker 23: have to see it and figure out who we're gonna 599 00:29:06,280 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 23: have to play, and figure out our tactics and and 600 00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:10,800 Speaker 23: and and figure it out. But I think that the 601 00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:14,000 Speaker 23: coaches have a have a vision for us, have a 602 00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:16,600 Speaker 23: way of style that we want to play and we 603 00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:19,240 Speaker 23: want to keep going. And I'm sure that they neither 604 00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:21,640 Speaker 23: of those team would want to want to face us. Neither, 605 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:25,520 Speaker 23: And so it'll be an exciting, uh group of group 606 00:29:25,560 --> 00:29:28,760 Speaker 23: of games because that's the best of the best, and 607 00:29:28,880 --> 00:29:30,560 Speaker 23: so it's exciting. 608 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 2: Hey, good luck on Saturday, Thank you, thank you, good 609 00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:36,000 Speaker 2: stuff there from Heyesus Ferreira, Sounder fans Donald the McDonald's 610 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 2: up today and when the Sounders win, you'll win a 611 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,920 Speaker 2: Freeman Chicken the following day with minimum two dollars purchase 612 00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,760 Speaker 2: exclusively in the app. We'll get a break here, the 613 00:29:43,840 --> 00:29:45,720 Speaker 2: last break of the premat show.

Ah Seattle in New 685 00:33:22,440 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 2: York City have not played in the NLS regular season. 686 00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:28,760 Speaker 2: It's important wording there since twenty nineteen. That was a 687 00:33:28,840 --> 00:33:32,320 Speaker 2: three to nothing win for NYCFC over at Yankee Stadium. 688 00:33:32,440 --> 00:33:34,720 Speaker 4: I believe that was in a downpour in the Rain. 689 00:33:34,800 --> 00:33:37,840 Speaker 2: I believe in OZ years back, that's where they play 690 00:33:37,920 --> 00:33:40,840 Speaker 2: most of their matches, Yankee Stadium. But I will also 691 00:33:41,000 --> 00:33:44,760 Speaker 2: mention that they more recently played at Lumen Field and 692 00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:48,080 Speaker 2: at Yankee Stadium. In twenty twenty two in the CONCACAFFT 693 00:33:48,200 --> 00:33:52,680 Speaker 2: Champions League semifinals. Seattle won that series on aggregate four 694 00:33:52,720 --> 00:33:55,800 Speaker 2: to two. Of course, ended up winning CCL. Only team 695 00:33:55,880 --> 00:34:00,120 Speaker 2: in MLS ever do that, but across all competitions, when 696 00:34:00,160 --> 00:34:02,400 Speaker 2: every single game the Sounders are three to three and 697 00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:06,160 Speaker 2: one against New York City one two and one on 698 00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:08,920 Speaker 2: the road, Pete Viewing, what are your keys to this 699 00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:11,440 Speaker 2: decision day match for the Seattle Sounders. 700 00:34:11,400 --> 00:34:14,239 Speaker 3: With the narrowness of this field, changing the point of 701 00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:17,759 Speaker 3: attack quickly to catch a team while they're shifting is 702 00:34:17,800 --> 00:34:20,080 Speaker 3: going to be important. So getting it left to right, 703 00:34:20,239 --> 00:34:22,840 Speaker 3: getting it from the left to the middle to the 704 00:34:22,960 --> 00:34:25,440 Speaker 3: right quickly very important. And then I think it's important 705 00:34:25,480 --> 00:34:30,440 Speaker 3: that we get Albert our four attackers, Pedro Jesus, Albert Jordan. 706 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:33,480 Speaker 3: They have to be very sharp today. Albert's gonna get 707 00:34:33,520 --> 00:34:35,640 Speaker 3: balls at the edge of the box. Can he slip 708 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:38,560 Speaker 3: people in? Can he turn in the middle third, spring 709 00:34:38,600 --> 00:34:41,240 Speaker 3: the ball wide, get players in behind, so on the attack, 710 00:34:41,880 --> 00:34:45,000 Speaker 3: changing the point of attack, not being the same every 711 00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:48,440 Speaker 3: single time. At the back, Alex Rodon and Jackson Reagan 712 00:34:48,440 --> 00:34:50,839 Speaker 3: are comfortable with each other. But you're going to face 713 00:34:50,880 --> 00:34:52,880 Speaker 3: a team that really needs to climb the ladder on 714 00:34:53,000 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 3: their side of the table. So you're gonna have to 715 00:34:56,000 --> 00:34:58,120 Speaker 3: make sure you don't give anything away. And by the way, 716 00:34:58,520 --> 00:35:00,160 Speaker 3: you can't shut off in a game like that is 717 00:35:00,239 --> 00:35:02,840 Speaker 3: because the narrowness of the field and the shortness of 718 00:35:02,920 --> 00:35:03,680 Speaker 3: the field as well. 719 00:35:03,880 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 2: That's exactly right, you mentioned need to climb. They are 720 00:35:06,239 --> 00:35:08,560 Speaker 2: in fifth place right now in the Eastern Conference. They 721 00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:10,680 Speaker 2: have a chance to move up into fourth place and 722 00:35:10,840 --> 00:35:14,319 Speaker 2: earn home field advantage in that first round best of three. 723 00:35:14,400 --> 00:35:16,879 Speaker 2: New York has a lot to play for Seattle. They're 724 00:35:16,920 --> 00:35:18,560 Speaker 2: locked into the five seed. We're looking to get in 725 00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:21,600 Speaker 2: good run of form for the playoffs starting next weekend. 726 00:35:21,640 --> 00:35:25,040 Speaker 2: That will be either at LAFC at San Diego or 727 00:35:25,200 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 2: at Minnesota. We won't know the answer to who they 728 00:35:27,920 --> 00:35:31,880 Speaker 2: play until about eight pm tonight.

I'm Danny Jackson alongside former Sounders Captain 801 00:39:34,680 --> 00:39:37,080 Speaker 11: Brad Evans. Before we get to bread for his initial 802 00:39:37,160 --> 00:39:38,960 Speaker 11: thoughts and his keys to the game, Let's get you 803 00:39:39,040 --> 00:39:43,120 Speaker 11: the Delta. Starting eleven for Brian Schmitzer and Your Sounders, 804 00:39:43,480 --> 00:39:47,120 Speaker 11: Sep and Freiin Gohl about four of Koloney, Kosa Rienzi 805 00:39:47,200 --> 00:39:51,000 Speaker 11: on the right. Alex Rodin will slide alongside Jackson Reagan 806 00:39:51,120 --> 00:39:54,680 Speaker 11: in the middle, and then Knew who back from international duty. 807 00:39:54,719 --> 00:39:57,759 Speaker 11: He'll slide on that left hand side. Danny Lavor JP 808 00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:00,760 Speaker 11: will start again in the middle of the park. Christian 809 00:40:00,880 --> 00:40:04,560 Speaker 11: Roldan and Obed get a break today after their international travels. 810 00:40:04,960 --> 00:40:08,319 Speaker 11: Jesus Ferrera on the right, Albert Rouznek in the ten 811 00:40:08,680 --> 00:40:10,960 Speaker 11: peedro De la Vega on the left, and then Jordan 812 00:40:11,080 --> 00:40:15,040 Speaker 11: Morris up front for New York Matt freezing goal. We 813 00:40:15,160 --> 00:40:16,960 Speaker 11: think it might be a three to four to three, 814 00:40:17,040 --> 00:40:18,600 Speaker 11: but it could be a four to two three one 815 00:40:18,640 --> 00:40:20,560 Speaker 11: as well. We'll go with a three at the back. 816 00:40:20,640 --> 00:40:23,919 Speaker 11: Right now, it's Gustavo Martin's and Hack. It'll be Gray 817 00:40:24,000 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 11: on the right, O'Toole on the left, Perea and potentially 818 00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:31,440 Speaker 11: morale Is alongside, and then Wolf Fernandez Marcau and then 819 00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:36,280 Speaker 11: their seventeen gold man from Costa Rica, Alonso Martinez upfront. 820 00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 11: So as the players start getting themselves ready in the 821 00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:42,640 Speaker 11: tight confines of city Field. For New York, it was 822 00:40:42,680 --> 00:40:44,359 Speaker 11: a question mark of where they were going to play 823 00:40:44,360 --> 00:40:46,680 Speaker 11: in these final games of the season. With the Yankees 824 00:40:46,719 --> 00:40:50,480 Speaker 11: in the playoffs, it was scrubbed to play at Yankee Stadium. 825 00:40:50,520 --> 00:40:53,400 Speaker 11: They will play Yankee Stadium for the playoff games, but 826 00:40:53,560 --> 00:40:56,080 Speaker 11: here at City Field, right next door to where their 827 00:40:56,160 --> 00:40:59,560 Speaker 11: new stadium, Etty Hard Park is getting built. That'll be 828 00:40:59,600 --> 00:41:03,120 Speaker 11: ready in twenty twenty seven. But they play here at 829 00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:06,319 Speaker 11: the New York Mets Stadium in New York, where there's 830 00:41:06,360 --> 00:41:10,320 Speaker 11: good Sounders already. Brian Schmittz mentioned it just before leaving 831 00:41:10,440 --> 00:41:13,120 Speaker 11: on the plane that what's the message to the team, 832 00:41:13,160 --> 00:41:15,400 Speaker 11: and it's about getting on the travels, getting to the 833 00:41:15,440 --> 00:41:17,399 Speaker 11: East Coast and not just turning up for the fun 834 00:41:17,480 --> 00:41:19,560 Speaker 11: of it, but to get a win and get a 835 00:41:19,719 --> 00:41:23,239 Speaker 11: good performance ahead of those playoffs. It's been a while 836 00:41:23,280 --> 00:41:27,240 Speaker 11: since New York and the Sounders met. As Jackson mentioned, 837 00:41:27,320 --> 00:41:30,680 Speaker 11: it was in playoffs in the semi finals of CONCACAFF 838 00:41:30,760 --> 00:41:33,920 Speaker 11: Champions Cup in twenty twenty two, an aggregate win for 839 00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:37,239 Speaker 11: the Sounders before they went on and won that championship. 840 00:41:37,280 --> 00:41:40,720 Speaker 11: The first MLS team, of course to win CONCACAFF Champions 841 00:41:40,760 --> 00:41:42,920 Speaker 11: Cup of New York City. They're looking to try and 842 00:41:42,960 --> 00:41:46,600 Speaker 11: get back on the winning trail. Twenty twenty one was 843 00:41:46,640 --> 00:41:50,000 Speaker 11: an MLS Cup win and it was against our foe, 844 00:41:50,160 --> 00:41:52,880 Speaker 11: the Portland Timbers. Back of course, the Sounders had a 845 00:41:52,960 --> 00:41:56,560 Speaker 11: great run up to that year, making the championships in 846 00:41:56,680 --> 00:42:00,879 Speaker 11: twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen, twenty nineteen, and then the last 847 00:42:00,920 --> 00:42:03,000 Speaker 11: time the sound has turned up it was twenty twenty 848 00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:06,000 Speaker 11: where they lost to the Columbus Crew. And here we 849 00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:10,000 Speaker 11: go New York City in their traditional light blue tops, 850 00:42:10,239 --> 00:42:14,239 Speaker 11: white shorts, and light blue socks. They're attacking the goal 851 00:42:14,320 --> 00:42:16,800 Speaker 11: to our right, and the Sounders are in their traditional 852 00:42:16,840 --> 00:42:20,160 Speaker 11: anniversary kid of green shirts, blue shorts and white socks. 853 00:42:20,440 --> 00:42:24,440 Speaker 11: They're attacking the goal to our left. See the Sounders 854 00:42:24,440 --> 00:42:26,000 Speaker 11: can get off a good start. It was a fourth 855 00:42:26,120 --> 00:42:29,600 Speaker 11: minute goal last week for Paul Rothrock got that one 856 00:42:29,719 --> 00:42:32,719 Speaker 11: nil win for RSL. Who's just the start that Brian 857 00:42:32,760 --> 00:42:37,399 Speaker 11: Schmetzer needed and wanted from his team. RSL needed that win, 858 00:42:37,520 --> 00:42:39,839 Speaker 11: and they still need something to go right for them 859 00:42:40,280 --> 00:42:43,560 Speaker 11: in today's games on Decision Day, Sounders playing in the 860 00:42:43,719 --> 00:42:48,720 Speaker 11: unfamiliar timeframe of three pm here on the West Coast 861 00:42:49,239 --> 00:42:53,480 Speaker 11: six pm East Coast time. And of course it is 862 00:42:53,520 --> 00:42:56,840 Speaker 11: this fifteen team each conference setup, so there is always 863 00:42:56,880 --> 00:42:59,800 Speaker 11: going to be that final game matchup between East versus West. 864 00:43:00,440 --> 00:43:03,480 Speaker 11: Sound has pulled the short store in that one. This 865 00:43:03,680 --> 00:43:05,759 Speaker 11: particular year. But for the sound it's not much to 866 00:43:05,800 --> 00:43:08,160 Speaker 11: play for in terms of positioning. But for New York 867 00:43:08,239 --> 00:43:11,399 Speaker 11: Cities all to play for. They're sitting in fifth as 868 00:43:11,440 --> 00:43:13,960 Speaker 11: all hoster teams the whole host of results that could 869 00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:16,680 Speaker 11: go their way to push them up into the top 870 00:43:16,840 --> 00:43:20,520 Speaker 11: four in which they would host as home field advantage. 871 00:43:20,560 --> 00:43:23,439 Speaker 11: That first game, as new has it on the left 872 00:43:23,480 --> 00:43:27,160 Speaker 11: hand side, back from international duty with Cameroon, is it 873 00:43:27,200 --> 00:43:30,040 Speaker 11: ball goes out down the laby Lord sure in that 874 00:43:30,160 --> 00:43:33,200 Speaker 11: pass goes out of bound on this near side, ball 875 00:43:33,280 --> 00:43:35,480 Speaker 11: gets thrown in picked up in the middle of part 876 00:43:35,560 --> 00:43:38,120 Speaker 11: by Morales, the player, as Brian Schweitz said, it's like 877 00:43:38,239 --> 00:43:41,479 Speaker 11: fine wine as Morales just continues to get better and better. 878 00:43:42,320 --> 00:43:47,200 Speaker 11: Sits on two goals eleven assists for his campaign. New 879 00:43:47,320 --> 00:43:52,680 Speaker 11: York City pick it up with their enigmatic Martins in 880 00:43:52,719 --> 00:43:55,520 Speaker 11: the middle of the park. It's clipped forward toward seventeen 881 00:43:55,600 --> 00:43:58,239 Speaker 11: gold Man headed away by Jackson Reagan, picked up by 882 00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:02,600 Speaker 11: Laver and then played square. I JP sounders building out 883 00:44:02,600 --> 00:44:04,759 Speaker 11: of the back and these tight confines. You can see 884 00:44:04,800 --> 00:44:07,600 Speaker 11: the little hash mark for the ten yard line away 885 00:44:07,640 --> 00:44:10,200 Speaker 11: from the corner flag. That always gives an indication of 886 00:44:10,280 --> 00:44:12,719 Speaker 11: how narrow. The field is just a couple of yards 887 00:44:12,760 --> 00:44:15,600 Speaker 11: away from the corner the eighteen yard box on that 888 00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:19,560 Speaker 11: end line, so it is tight and has Bete Fewing 889 00:44:19,600 --> 00:44:21,600 Speaker 11: said in the pregame, it's a matter of can you 890 00:44:21,719 --> 00:44:24,120 Speaker 11: keep the ball, move it quickly, don't give up mistakes, 891 00:44:24,160 --> 00:44:26,279 Speaker 11: because as soon as you give the ball up, you'll 892 00:44:26,320 --> 00:44:29,520 Speaker 11: be turning and sprinting back to your own goal. A 893 00:44:29,520 --> 00:44:31,880 Speaker 11: little bit like starfire in some ways you can go 894 00:44:32,040 --> 00:44:34,400 Speaker 11: one direction and in a blink of an eye you 895 00:44:34,480 --> 00:44:36,440 Speaker 11: go in the other direction. But there comes the Sounders 896 00:44:36,440 --> 00:44:40,680 Speaker 11: thrown in well to labor, just absorb the pressure, earns 897 00:44:40,719 --> 00:44:44,080 Speaker 11: the free kick just outside their right corner of the 898 00:44:44,160 --> 00:44:48,799 Speaker 11: eighteen yard box. Stephan Fry looking for another clean sheet. 899 00:44:48,960 --> 00:44:50,960 Speaker 11: Nine clean sheets on the season so far for the 900 00:44:51,080 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 11: Sounders up to I thinks one hundred and twenty four 901 00:44:54,160 --> 00:44:57,440 Speaker 11: clean sheets for Stephan Fry. Still a ways to go 902 00:44:57,680 --> 00:44:59,680 Speaker 11: to catch number one. As he sits to number two 903 00:45:00,239 --> 00:45:06,480 Speaker 11: time Sephan Fryan all pink tonight. They're standing outside of 904 00:45:06,480 --> 00:45:10,919 Speaker 11: his eighteen yard box. Gotta launch this one. Long ball 905 00:45:11,040 --> 00:45:14,440 Speaker 11: goes in towards the Ford line in Jordan Morris, who 906 00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:17,120 Speaker 11: definitely needs a goal today. Little sloppy by Kilani. Here 907 00:45:17,200 --> 00:45:20,840 Speaker 11: comes New York in transition quickly to Martinez strikes it. 908 00:45:21,120 --> 00:45:25,360 Speaker 11: Good block by Jackson Reagan, and for the Sounders is 909 00:45:25,360 --> 00:45:27,120 Speaker 11: their first corner kit. They're gonna have to defend. As 910 00:45:27,160 --> 00:45:29,320 Speaker 11: the ball goes out on this near side, down to 911 00:45:29,440 --> 00:45:32,480 Speaker 11: our right hand side. That's not what the Sounders need 912 00:45:32,560 --> 00:45:34,440 Speaker 11: to do. Let's give the ball away sloppily in the 913 00:45:34,480 --> 00:45:36,000 Speaker 11: middle of the park, and this time it was Killan. 914 00:45:36,120 --> 00:45:38,839 Speaker 11: He was a quick break by New York, but good 915 00:45:38,880 --> 00:45:40,920 Speaker 11: defending by Jackson Reagan. But they are gonna have to 916 00:45:41,000 --> 00:45:44,280 Speaker 11: defend this corner kick. Four minutes in nil nil Sounders 917 00:45:44,360 --> 00:45:48,759 Speaker 11: New York. Here in Queens and New York City, ball 918 00:45:48,840 --> 00:45:51,080 Speaker 11: goes in and flicked around. Ball bounces around the eighteen 919 00:45:51,120 --> 00:45:53,920 Speaker 11: yard box, calmly played out by Jackson Reagan. Here's Kilani 920 00:45:54,040 --> 00:45:59,400 Speaker 11: now turns away from pressure, chased down by Gustavo and 921 00:45:59,440 --> 00:46:01,600 Speaker 11: then the ball it's knocked out on this near side. 922 00:46:01,760 --> 00:46:03,719 Speaker 11: Actually was great that knocked it out on this right 923 00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:09,719 Speaker 11: hand side. As Kolaney just tracks back into his right 924 00:46:09,800 --> 00:46:12,240 Speaker 11: hand side position. Here come the Sounders in the possession 925 00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:18,440 Speaker 11: of labor and then knew who calm and compose are 926 00:46:18,480 --> 00:46:20,920 Speaker 11: the Sounders. That's the message from Brian Schmitzer today is 927 00:46:21,080 --> 00:46:23,800 Speaker 11: just can you absorb it? It's a great preparation for 928 00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:26,399 Speaker 11: the playoffs, no doubt about it. It was RSL who 929 00:46:26,440 --> 00:46:28,759 Speaker 11: needed a win last week. The Sounders took care of 930 00:46:28,840 --> 00:46:33,400 Speaker 11: business there missing eleven players in that particular game, you 931 00:46:33,400 --> 00:46:35,720 Speaker 11: wouldn't know it in the performance, especially in that first 932 00:46:35,800 --> 00:46:38,640 Speaker 11: half where the Sounder's gone on top of RSL early 933 00:46:39,520 --> 00:46:41,760 Speaker 11: and managed to see the game out for their second 934 00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:46,000 Speaker 11: clean sheet in as many games. And as Brian mentioned 935 00:46:46,480 --> 00:46:50,400 Speaker 11: this week in his presser, two clean sheets back to 936 00:46:50,480 --> 00:46:53,440 Speaker 11: back against a desperate RSL who'd been the foe for 937 00:46:53,520 --> 00:46:56,919 Speaker 11: the Sounders. That was only the second win in nine 938 00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:01,239 Speaker 11: games against RSL. It's good preparation for the playoffs. Now 939 00:47:01,320 --> 00:47:03,720 Speaker 11: the Sounders and they're attacking through the field, just slowing 940 00:47:03,760 --> 00:47:06,759 Speaker 11: things down. On the far side the Sounders right in 941 00:47:06,800 --> 00:47:09,640 Speaker 11: the foot of Roll Don rolls it into Jordan Morris 942 00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,960 Speaker 11: just comes back, needs a quick touch and then spins 943 00:47:12,000 --> 00:47:14,760 Speaker 11: into the space. Switch a play by Rolldan Well played 944 00:47:14,840 --> 00:47:17,320 Speaker 11: from right hand side to this near side the left 945 00:47:17,400 --> 00:47:19,839 Speaker 11: and Petro dela Vega and it'll be interesting to see 946 00:47:19,880 --> 00:47:24,879 Speaker 11: if Dela Vega Ferrera Rosneck and Morris will be you're 947 00:47:24,920 --> 00:47:29,040 Speaker 11: attacking four going into the playoffs, and maybe that's the 948 00:47:29,160 --> 00:47:33,080 Speaker 11: test that Brian Schwetzen needs to check out. Are they 949 00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:36,960 Speaker 11: going to play that four with Rothrock on the bench, who, 950 00:47:37,040 --> 00:47:40,279 Speaker 11: of course has had a stellar, stellar year. And here 951 00:47:40,360 --> 00:47:43,360 Speaker 11: comes Rossneck, middle of the part, rolls its squares, Ferra 952 00:47:43,440 --> 00:47:45,080 Speaker 11: trying to find a pocket of space coming off that 953 00:47:45,200 --> 00:47:47,680 Speaker 11: right hand side, ball goes all the way back. So 954 00:47:47,760 --> 00:47:49,920 Speaker 11: Brad Evans, let me bring you in keys to the 955 00:47:49,960 --> 00:47:52,279 Speaker 11: game tonight. New York City need to get a win 956 00:47:52,400 --> 00:47:54,399 Speaker 11: to push themselves or give themselves a chance of getting 957 00:47:54,400 --> 00:47:57,560 Speaker 11: into four spots. Sounders have secured fifth, but how do 958 00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:59,440 Speaker 11: they get three points here in these tight confines a 959 00:47:59,480 --> 00:47:59,959 Speaker 11: city field. 960 00:48:00,080 --> 00:48:01,920 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think that's the biggest thing is New York 961 00:48:01,960 --> 00:48:04,640 Speaker 6: City's playing for something today, right, not just getting into 962 00:48:04,680 --> 00:48:07,040 Speaker 6: the playoffs and getting that home field advantage. So playing 963 00:48:07,080 --> 00:48:09,320 Speaker 6: at home it's a difficult task, and we've had some 964 00:48:09,440 --> 00:48:12,200 Speaker 6: success here in years past in New York City. But 965 00:48:12,280 --> 00:48:13,920 Speaker 6: I think for the Sounders it's all about can we 966 00:48:13,960 --> 00:48:16,360 Speaker 6: get a good performance, especially for Jordan Morris. We have 967 00:48:16,440 --> 00:48:17,600 Speaker 6: to get Jordan off the mark. Tonight. 968 00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:21,560 Speaker 11: It comes Farrera just takes a shot deflected wide, so 969 00:48:21,600 --> 00:48:23,240 Speaker 11: it's gonna be a first corner kick for the Sounders. 970 00:48:23,280 --> 00:48:26,400 Speaker 11: Good play by the Sounders, good patients play through the midfield. 971 00:48:27,480 --> 00:48:30,320 Speaker 11: Farah looks like he's got fresh and clean shaven face 972 00:48:30,440 --> 00:48:34,759 Speaker 11: there just the mustache. It's a playoff look if I've 973 00:48:34,760 --> 00:48:35,239 Speaker 11: ever seen one. 974 00:48:35,360 --> 00:48:37,319 Speaker 6: Oh, that's a playoff look. I remember those days. 975 00:48:38,520 --> 00:48:42,600 Speaker 11: Not quite November yet, but it's got the look for it. 976 00:48:42,680 --> 00:48:44,640 Speaker 11: But here come the Sounder is right hand side corner 977 00:48:44,719 --> 00:48:49,600 Speaker 11: kick with Russneck, of course missed a game due to 978 00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:52,120 Speaker 11: a red card against the Timbers. The ball comes in 979 00:48:52,280 --> 00:48:56,680 Speaker 11: flick away by New York. Picked up this near side 980 00:48:56,760 --> 00:48:58,560 Speaker 11: by Kerlaan. He's gonna roll it all the way back 981 00:48:58,600 --> 00:49:04,799 Speaker 11: to Alex. Rolled clips it in flat square ball headed clear, 982 00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:06,439 Speaker 11: but picked up by the green shirts of the Sounds. 983 00:49:06,480 --> 00:49:09,160 Speaker 11: They're attacking the goal to our left. Hi comes calling, quick, 984 00:49:09,200 --> 00:49:13,160 Speaker 11: little turn, guests pass, huck comes inside strike by Ferrera, 985 00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:16,680 Speaker 11: well blowed by Gustavo, then laid off well by Jackson 986 00:49:16,760 --> 00:49:20,040 Speaker 11: Ray and go a little nick whipped it now by 987 00:49:20,680 --> 00:49:22,919 Speaker 11: lay of Town. And it was a chance by Knew, 988 00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:24,640 Speaker 11: who looks like the assistant referees flag on the far 989 00:49:24,760 --> 00:49:26,960 Speaker 11: side went up, But there's a chance on the bat 990 00:49:27,000 --> 00:49:29,080 Speaker 11: post by Knew who found himself in a couple of 991 00:49:29,200 --> 00:49:31,160 Speaker 11: yards of free space. But it's gonna be a free kick. 992 00:49:31,320 --> 00:49:33,640 Speaker 6: No, no, yeah, we'll work from the Sounders, and when 993 00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:35,919 Speaker 6: they have patient build up, the guys seem to seem 994 00:49:36,000 --> 00:49:38,360 Speaker 6: to get more opportunities. It's a few years ago we 995 00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,359 Speaker 6: asked why aren't they swinging the ball in and even 996 00:49:40,400 --> 00:49:42,280 Speaker 6: that moments this year, but they seem to have found 997 00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:44,239 Speaker 6: the rhythm and we've been ou at practice enough to 998 00:49:44,280 --> 00:49:46,800 Speaker 6: watch them play and it's all about keeping possession and 999 00:49:46,880 --> 00:49:49,640 Speaker 6: waiting for the right opportunity, and the Sounders do really 1000 00:49:49,680 --> 00:49:52,279 Speaker 6: well there. So at least get across into the box 1001 00:49:52,360 --> 00:49:54,800 Speaker 6: with Danny Lava and Knew who just a couple of 1002 00:49:54,840 --> 00:49:57,839 Speaker 6: yards offside. But still even in that moment, knw Who's 1003 00:49:57,840 --> 00:49:59,240 Speaker 6: got to know he's got to hit that ball across 1004 00:49:59,320 --> 00:50:01,120 Speaker 6: the keeper or right to the ground at his feet. 1005 00:50:01,160 --> 00:50:03,759 Speaker 6: Maybe it slips through the keeper's legs. So look for 1006 00:50:03,840 --> 00:50:06,080 Speaker 6: that one again, I think tonight as the Sounders keep 1007 00:50:06,120 --> 00:50:06,560 Speaker 6: moving the ball. 1008 00:50:07,200 --> 00:50:12,080 Speaker 11: Certainly New York have had a strong start or strong 1009 00:50:12,200 --> 00:50:15,120 Speaker 11: ending to the year in terms of just performances. They've 1010 00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:16,880 Speaker 11: got a really good win against New York Red Bulls 1011 00:50:17,360 --> 00:50:20,440 Speaker 11: fell short of Philadelphia that secured their supporters shield win. 1012 00:50:21,239 --> 00:50:23,400 Speaker 11: But it's been forty nine goals scored in their season 1013 00:50:23,480 --> 00:50:26,640 Speaker 11: so far, only forty two goals giving up by New 1014 00:50:26,719 --> 00:50:31,840 Speaker 11: York City. It was Miami that got almost ten percent 1015 00:50:31,960 --> 00:50:35,600 Speaker 11: of those goals for nil loss two goals by Messy 1016 00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:40,680 Speaker 11: and that was here in New York. So they're still 1017 00:50:40,760 --> 00:50:44,080 Speaker 11: licking their wounds off that one. They'll be looking to 1018 00:50:44,160 --> 00:50:46,279 Speaker 11: try and finish off strong in this regular season. Here 1019 00:50:46,400 --> 00:50:50,239 Speaker 11: decision day in MLS. All the Western Conference games still 1020 00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:54,399 Speaker 11: to come up six pm Pacific time, or all those 1021 00:50:55,719 --> 00:50:59,520 Speaker 11: Western Conference games, and most all has been sealed up. 1022 00:50:59,560 --> 00:51:03,399 Speaker 11: It's just those final two slots now, Colorado San Jose 1023 00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:09,920 Speaker 11: sitting below the line. It's gonna be Dallas and RSL 1024 00:51:10,080 --> 00:51:11,719 Speaker 11: just sit above the line right now. But just a 1025 00:51:11,760 --> 00:51:13,719 Speaker 11: couple of points between all those teams, and the ball 1026 00:51:13,800 --> 00:51:16,640 Speaker 11: goes back to Freeze. US men's national team player of course, 1027 00:51:17,200 --> 00:51:19,120 Speaker 11: just signed a fresh contract about a month ago that 1028 00:51:19,760 --> 00:51:23,600 Speaker 11: keeps him in New York till twenty thirty. And it 1029 00:51:23,680 --> 00:51:25,520 Speaker 11: comes to elevator coming off that left hand side, just 1030 00:51:25,600 --> 00:51:27,960 Speaker 11: drops the ball to JP and then clattered into by 1031 00:51:29,520 --> 00:51:32,960 Speaker 11: New York City man Fernando's macau. 1032 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:35,200 Speaker 6: A good start for the Sounder is Brett. Yeah, you 1033 00:51:35,280 --> 00:51:36,919 Speaker 6: have to say for the Sounders a good start away 1034 00:51:36,960 --> 00:51:39,440 Speaker 6: from home. But the record showed this year right, only 1035 00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:41,400 Speaker 6: four wins on the road, I think for the Sounders, 1036 00:51:41,440 --> 00:51:44,800 Speaker 6: which is uncharacteristic of Sounders teams in the past. But 1037 00:51:44,880 --> 00:51:46,560 Speaker 6: it's about how you finish. So can you pick up 1038 00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:48,880 Speaker 6: a victory here on the road with a good start. 1039 00:51:49,440 --> 00:51:51,719 Speaker 6: We all know, yes, good starts are great, but you 1040 00:51:51,840 --> 00:51:54,239 Speaker 6: have to have a tangible goal or two at the 1041 00:51:54,320 --> 00:51:55,600 Speaker 6: end of this one to feel like you've had a 1042 00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:58,320 Speaker 6: successful trip, and hopefully for the Sounders is keeping it 1043 00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:00,719 Speaker 6: to zero in the back once again, reach shoutouts in 1044 00:52:00,760 --> 00:52:03,720 Speaker 6: a row for the boys and especially heading into the playoffs, 1045 00:52:03,760 --> 00:52:05,920 Speaker 6: going away from home first is going to be a 1046 00:52:05,920 --> 00:52:06,600 Speaker 6: difficult task. 1047 00:52:07,440 --> 00:52:10,120 Speaker 11: Paul played free kick played short by Rusnek picked up 1048 00:52:10,120 --> 00:52:11,960 Speaker 11: by New York Kid. That come in transitions where they 1049 00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:15,040 Speaker 11: can be dangerous far side the left as a ball 1050 00:52:15,080 --> 00:52:17,040 Speaker 11: gets whipped in all the way through, it's gonna skip 1051 00:52:17,080 --> 00:52:19,200 Speaker 11: through and Russneck could play that. Initial free kicks have 1052 00:52:19,320 --> 00:52:22,040 Speaker 11: to chase it down deep, not what your number ten 1053 00:52:22,120 --> 00:52:26,640 Speaker 11: wants to do is a little apology to as much 1054 00:52:26,719 --> 00:52:28,640 Speaker 11: as center back, so have to trot all the way 1055 00:52:28,719 --> 00:52:31,000 Speaker 11: up the field and then sprint all the way back. 1056 00:52:32,239 --> 00:52:33,640 Speaker 11: It's good to have him back in the team and 1057 00:52:33,680 --> 00:52:37,360 Speaker 11: it's gonna be interesting. We talked about it, the attacking four. 1058 00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:40,200 Speaker 11: Is this the four that Brian Schwetz who has identified 1059 00:52:40,239 --> 00:52:42,360 Speaker 11: now as the four that could take them into the playoffs? 1060 00:52:42,600 --> 00:52:45,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't know. I still think that Paul Rothrock 1061 00:52:45,480 --> 00:52:47,640 Speaker 6: has to be in the mix. He's knocking on the door. 1062 00:52:47,719 --> 00:52:50,920 Speaker 6: But if you look at experienced players and those that 1063 00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,400 Speaker 6: have gotten your results this year, I think Paul Rothrock 1064 00:52:53,480 --> 00:52:56,400 Speaker 6: is right there as well. So it's really hard to 1065 00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:58,400 Speaker 6: keep these four off the field. Though, when you talk 1066 00:52:58,440 --> 00:53:01,000 Speaker 6: about big games and hey, sus has really come to 1067 00:53:01,080 --> 00:53:04,120 Speaker 6: life in the past two months, right, He's really showed 1068 00:53:04,160 --> 00:53:05,760 Speaker 6: what he can do. And I think we were asking 1069 00:53:05,880 --> 00:53:07,920 Speaker 6: questions of him early on this season of when are 1070 00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,440 Speaker 6: we going to see that player that we saw at 1071 00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:13,040 Speaker 6: FC Dallas, who took control of games, who made things 1072 00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:14,520 Speaker 6: happen all up and down the field. And I think 1073 00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:17,240 Speaker 6: he's come into that role. And that's with bouncing around 1074 00:53:17,280 --> 00:53:20,040 Speaker 6: from left, right and center, right hand side. 1075 00:53:19,840 --> 00:53:23,280 Speaker 11: New York City brings it in shinned away by Alex 1076 00:53:23,400 --> 00:53:26,120 Speaker 11: Royal darn if in doubt knock it out, which he 1077 00:53:26,239 --> 00:53:27,920 Speaker 11: just did, thrown out for a corner on this near 1078 00:53:28,080 --> 00:53:31,160 Speaker 11: side for New York ten yards or so from the 1079 00:53:31,239 --> 00:53:34,959 Speaker 11: corner flag. Alex now played in the right hand side 1080 00:53:34,960 --> 00:53:39,640 Speaker 11: of the three of course last week, and then slotted 1081 00:53:39,719 --> 00:53:43,880 Speaker 11: into central midfield when needed as well played goalkeeper of 1082 00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:46,000 Speaker 11: course as Alex so I pretty much played in every 1083 00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:50,399 Speaker 11: single position, one of the anchor foundational players in terms 1084 00:53:50,440 --> 00:53:55,040 Speaker 11: of experience. Now it comes New York on their right 1085 00:53:55,120 --> 00:53:58,600 Speaker 11: hand side with Fernandez, Macau just drops the ball backler 1086 00:53:58,760 --> 00:54:03,279 Speaker 11: nibble by you who it's gonna be Martinez, He's gonna 1087 00:54:03,520 --> 00:54:05,239 Speaker 11: roll it all the way back. Captain for New York 1088 00:54:05,320 --> 00:54:09,800 Speaker 11: City Matt Freeze, as you mentioned, national team player, certainly 1089 00:54:10,920 --> 00:54:14,160 Speaker 11: in Pochettino's plans, as is a certain Christian rolled on 1090 00:54:14,360 --> 00:54:19,239 Speaker 11: and to assist against Australia. Good solid performance, lots of 1091 00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:22,879 Speaker 11: positive comments coming out of head coach Pochettino after the game, 1092 00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:26,680 Speaker 11: and you talk about timing as a player, Brad playing 1093 00:54:26,760 --> 00:54:29,319 Speaker 11: well at the right time and for Christian he's found 1094 00:54:29,360 --> 00:54:31,359 Speaker 11: himself in camp at the right time performing well. 1095 00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:34,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, look, I think I look back on my career 1096 00:54:34,440 --> 00:54:37,719 Speaker 6: and my opportunity with the under twenties came after qualification 1097 00:54:38,280 --> 00:54:40,520 Speaker 6: and a player got injured and Ziggy saw me play 1098 00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:42,359 Speaker 6: in college and say, hey, let's give this guy a try, 1099 00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,279 Speaker 6: And that's when I see the opportunity. We were only 1100 00:54:44,320 --> 00:54:46,200 Speaker 6: two and a half, two and a half months out 1101 00:54:46,440 --> 00:54:48,600 Speaker 6: from the Under twenty World Cup, and the same is 1102 00:54:48,640 --> 00:54:50,120 Speaker 6: kind of happening right now for Christian. 1103 00:54:52,080 --> 00:54:53,759 Speaker 11: It comes j P. Tris to flick it through, It 1104 00:54:53,800 --> 00:54:56,319 Speaker 11: takes a deflection, it has to be chased down by 1105 00:54:58,200 --> 00:55:01,480 Speaker 11: Gray and then hook down the line being should have 1106 00:55:01,520 --> 00:55:04,000 Speaker 11: Alex ho holdan coming in. Good play by Alex. He 1107 00:55:04,040 --> 00:55:07,279 Speaker 11: hooks the ball down a little pushing the back, good 1108 00:55:07,320 --> 00:55:10,200 Speaker 11: play by JP. All the experience there felt the pressure 1109 00:55:10,440 --> 00:55:11,960 Speaker 11: went down. It's gonna be a free kick in a 1110 00:55:11,960 --> 00:55:14,120 Speaker 11: good spot on his left hand side for good delivery 1111 00:55:14,160 --> 00:55:14,760 Speaker 11: by Rosnik. 1112 00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:17,239 Speaker 6: Yeah, just to go back to Christian, it's the right 1113 00:55:17,320 --> 00:55:19,319 Speaker 6: opportunity in the right time. And you never know when 1114 00:55:19,360 --> 00:55:21,239 Speaker 6: your name is gonna get called. But that has been 1115 00:55:21,360 --> 00:55:23,680 Speaker 6: Christian throughout his entire career. You never know when your 1116 00:55:23,719 --> 00:55:26,279 Speaker 6: name's gonna get called, and he's always stepped up and 1117 00:55:26,400 --> 00:55:28,520 Speaker 6: played in big moments and been such a pivotal point 1118 00:55:28,560 --> 00:55:30,719 Speaker 6: for this team. And then Jp on the flip side 1119 00:55:30,719 --> 00:55:32,960 Speaker 6: of that, you get injured, possibly in acl what's the 1120 00:55:33,040 --> 00:55:36,080 Speaker 6: mental kind of effect of that one. But he stepped 1121 00:55:36,080 --> 00:55:38,600 Speaker 6: in and filled in that role really, really well. And 1122 00:55:38,719 --> 00:55:41,040 Speaker 6: you see that veteran experience winning a free kick in 1123 00:55:41,120 --> 00:55:41,800 Speaker 6: dangerous areas. 1124 00:55:42,200 --> 00:55:44,560 Speaker 11: Rosnick whipped him with his right foot. Good delivery is 1125 00:55:44,560 --> 00:55:46,600 Speaker 11: headed up and away by New York and then Fernandez 1126 00:55:46,680 --> 00:55:49,640 Speaker 11: macaw or cushioned header and then given away by New York, 1127 00:55:49,719 --> 00:55:53,040 Speaker 11: kept by Danny Labor, then given away and Cross comes 1128 00:55:53,640 --> 00:55:56,200 Speaker 11: rolls on, taking no chances, just hooks it away with 1129 00:55:56,280 --> 00:55:59,879 Speaker 11: his right foot, no nonsense defending by Alex so far. 1130 00:56:00,080 --> 00:56:02,280 Speaker 6: Yeah twice now, just come in at the last moment 1131 00:56:02,800 --> 00:56:04,279 Speaker 6: to get it in with his toes. Just send it 1132 00:56:04,360 --> 00:56:06,239 Speaker 6: out of bounds. And as a center back, those are 1133 00:56:06,280 --> 00:56:08,120 Speaker 6: the dangerous ones, right if you go to ground there 1134 00:56:08,520 --> 00:56:10,239 Speaker 6: you might commit a foul if the attacker gets to 1135 00:56:10,320 --> 00:56:13,440 Speaker 6: the ball first. Alex, I mean he showed his prowess 1136 00:56:13,560 --> 00:56:16,520 Speaker 6: now and being able to play just a few years 1137 00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,040 Speaker 6: ago really as a right winger. And you know, ten 1138 00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:20,879 Speaker 6: to twelve assists on a year and now he finds 1139 00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,520 Speaker 6: himself consistently as a right back, and now it's the 1140 00:56:24,600 --> 00:56:26,920 Speaker 6: center back for multiple games. And it goes to the 1141 00:56:27,000 --> 00:56:29,320 Speaker 6: soccer iq right. We've talked about it last week and 1142 00:56:29,760 --> 00:56:31,239 Speaker 6: he and his brother both have it in space. 1143 00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:35,480 Speaker 11: It comes New York down their left hand side. A 1144 00:56:35,600 --> 00:56:39,200 Speaker 11: tool comes in, cleared by roll John with his right foot. 1145 00:56:39,200 --> 00:56:42,080 Speaker 11: Again right place, right time so far. For Alex, of course, 1146 00:56:42,239 --> 00:56:45,800 Speaker 11: was the mercurial number ten playmaker for CLU under a 1147 00:56:45,840 --> 00:56:50,879 Speaker 11: certain pete feuing. It comes New York down their left 1148 00:56:50,880 --> 00:56:55,080 Speaker 11: hand side, far side. The left wins the throw in again. 1149 00:56:55,200 --> 00:56:57,320 Speaker 11: Ty Confines of city field. His place was packed to 1150 00:56:57,400 --> 00:56:59,680 Speaker 11: the brim with messy not quite as full today, but 1151 00:57:00,080 --> 00:57:04,839 Speaker 11: well that good atmospheres. Fernandez Macaw has it the number 1152 00:57:04,920 --> 00:57:09,640 Speaker 11: seven Argentinian. It's gonna be a free kick. So let 1153 00:57:09,640 --> 00:57:11,120 Speaker 11: me just catch you a quick question from a playing 1154 00:57:11,160 --> 00:57:14,520 Speaker 11: standpoint playing on slightly tight to confines, like, how does 1155 00:57:14,560 --> 00:57:17,880 Speaker 11: it change the dynamics of the game. Obviously the basics 1156 00:57:17,920 --> 00:57:19,960 Speaker 11: are that there's less time and space, But in terms 1157 00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:22,040 Speaker 11: of preparation for this, is it something you just have 1158 00:57:22,080 --> 00:57:23,280 Speaker 11: to adapt to on the field at the time. 1159 00:57:23,360 --> 00:57:25,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think the sounders probably this week we're training 1160 00:57:25,680 --> 00:57:27,840 Speaker 6: on a field that was this, that was this. I 1161 00:57:27,880 --> 00:57:30,680 Speaker 6: guess you'd say skinny thin, right. Not oftentimes do you 1162 00:57:30,760 --> 00:57:32,160 Speaker 6: get to play on fields like this. I mean, I 1163 00:57:32,240 --> 00:57:35,160 Speaker 6: remember my time's playing against Kansas City a community one ballpark, 1164 00:57:35,240 --> 00:57:37,680 Speaker 6: same thing. And it's not just that it's tighter. It's 1165 00:57:37,720 --> 00:57:39,800 Speaker 6: the site lines all around the field where you think 1166 00:57:39,880 --> 00:57:41,680 Speaker 6: there should be a fan in a certain area, and 1167 00:57:41,720 --> 00:57:44,880 Speaker 6: your brain remembers this for thirty plus games in a season, 1168 00:57:45,040 --> 00:57:46,560 Speaker 6: and then all of a sudden there's open space. So 1169 00:57:47,200 --> 00:57:49,400 Speaker 6: it's more the dimensions of the of the area that 1170 00:57:49,440 --> 00:57:51,160 Speaker 6: you're playing in versus just the field. I mean, the 1171 00:57:51,280 --> 00:57:53,680 Speaker 6: Sounders have played Open Cup games in the past, they've 1172 00:57:53,720 --> 00:57:56,840 Speaker 6: had to play Conker, CAF Champions League, whatever it may be, traveling, 1173 00:57:56,960 --> 00:58:01,440 Speaker 6: So I actually I think this plays into the Sounders' 1174 00:58:01,480 --> 00:58:04,160 Speaker 6: hands tonight. If they can keep the ball in tight areas, 1175 00:58:04,200 --> 00:58:07,000 Speaker 6: in good spaces, I think it'll work into their favor. 1176 00:58:07,440 --> 00:58:09,320 Speaker 6: I mean, I remember when when Obed was on the 1177 00:58:09,360 --> 00:58:11,440 Speaker 6: team in Clint and we went there and just destroyed 1178 00:58:11,480 --> 00:58:14,680 Speaker 6: New York City and it was basically the The Obafemi 1179 00:58:14,760 --> 00:58:16,760 Speaker 6: Martin Show on that day. And I think it's going 1180 00:58:16,800 --> 00:58:18,960 Speaker 6: to take a moment of brilliance tonight to get in 1181 00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:21,280 Speaker 6: the back of the net. But the Sounders, I mean 1182 00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:23,480 Speaker 6: they're up for the task. And at this point in 1183 00:58:23,560 --> 00:58:26,320 Speaker 6: the season, you think they've seen it all. I think 1184 00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:28,560 Speaker 6: there's just a good opportunity to be road warriors tonight. 1185 00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:32,920 Speaker 11: Sounders have it on their left hand side. Now, a 1186 00:58:32,960 --> 00:58:35,400 Speaker 11: little run inside by delevag I try to get involved. 1187 00:58:35,480 --> 00:58:39,720 Speaker 11: Sixteen minutes gone here nil nil New York City Sounders, 1188 00:58:40,480 --> 00:58:43,240 Speaker 11: And this score update is presented by Toyo to nil 1189 00:58:43,320 --> 00:58:48,120 Speaker 11: nil between East versus West Well of Sports Radio nine 1190 00:58:48,120 --> 00:58:51,800 Speaker 11: to fifty k AM today. Tough loss by the Huskies 1191 00:58:52,560 --> 00:58:56,120 Speaker 11: in the Big House, but what a game yesterday in Seattle. 1192 00:58:56,640 --> 00:58:58,800 Speaker 11: The marin is putting a smile on everyone's face, is 1193 00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:02,520 Speaker 11: walking around the city today. Let's see what they can 1194 00:59:02,600 --> 00:59:06,080 Speaker 11: do on their travels. Leading three games to two. So 1195 00:59:06,840 --> 00:59:09,200 Speaker 11: resilience is a message that Brian Schmittz likes to give 1196 00:59:09,240 --> 00:59:12,200 Speaker 11: a lot, and certainly the Mariners stubbed their toe in 1197 00:59:12,280 --> 00:59:17,000 Speaker 11: those two first home games, burned down to the Blue Jays, 1198 00:59:17,040 --> 00:59:20,439 Speaker 11: but then they managed to pick things up. As Della 1199 00:59:20,520 --> 00:59:23,520 Speaker 11: vegas on that that's a nasty look. We're looking down 1200 00:59:23,520 --> 00:59:25,280 Speaker 11: on our screen here, Brad, and that looked like a 1201 00:59:25,480 --> 00:59:27,160 Speaker 11: nasty little looks like. 1202 00:59:27,280 --> 00:59:30,040 Speaker 6: It might be as his kneecap there. 1203 00:59:30,120 --> 00:59:32,680 Speaker 11: Maybe just looking at the replay here and how he 1204 00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:36,000 Speaker 11: twisted it, I don't have to see if that's gonna 1205 00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:37,720 Speaker 11: be something you can get up from or if that's. 1206 00:59:37,720 --> 00:59:40,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, if we're not seeing multiple camera views after the play, 1207 00:59:41,240 --> 00:59:43,840 Speaker 6: they must have seen something there. Yeah, that didn't look 1208 00:59:43,880 --> 00:59:47,480 Speaker 6: good for for Pedro there and clearly screaming for the 1209 00:59:48,160 --> 00:59:50,040 Speaker 6: for someone to come across it. Well, there was nothing 1210 00:59:50,120 --> 00:59:54,640 Speaker 6: malicious in it really. Yeah, he's definitely grimacing in his face, 1211 00:59:55,480 --> 01:00:01,120 Speaker 6: calling over what looks to be the orthopedic doctor. Maybe. Yeah, 1212 01:00:01,160 --> 01:00:04,240 Speaker 6: that one looks like a tough one for Pedro. I 1213 01:00:04,280 --> 01:00:05,960 Speaker 6: think they may have shown a replay in the stands 1214 01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,800 Speaker 6: because you hear the fans kind of groaning a little 1215 01:00:07,840 --> 01:00:08,720 Speaker 6: bit in the background. 1216 01:00:09,560 --> 01:00:12,520 Speaker 11: It's like a twist and just the wrong pressure at 1217 01:00:12,560 --> 01:00:18,000 Speaker 11: the wrong angle. And we'll see what the coaching staff 1218 01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,400 Speaker 11: and the medical staff will do with this for medical 1219 01:00:21,440 --> 01:00:25,720 Speaker 11: stuff around Pedro right now, just checking on his knee 1220 01:00:25,840 --> 01:00:33,520 Speaker 11: concern from Fello Argentinian Morales number ten from Rosario, same 1221 01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:38,000 Speaker 11: location and hometown as Messy of course, and we'll see 1222 01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:39,800 Speaker 11: if we get an introduction of Paul Rothrock. 1223 01:00:39,880 --> 01:00:40,200 Speaker 13: Now, so. 1224 01:00:42,120 --> 01:00:43,720 Speaker 11: Events that we don't ever want to see as a 1225 01:00:43,760 --> 01:00:46,320 Speaker 11: player going down injured. And we just see this replay now, Brad, 1226 01:00:46,360 --> 01:00:47,280 Speaker 11: maybe you can walk through it and. 1227 01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:50,800 Speaker 6: See what he wasn't there. It's on this turn, almost 1228 01:00:50,840 --> 01:00:54,440 Speaker 6: looks like his knee hits his knee and offsets his 1229 01:00:55,400 --> 01:00:58,880 Speaker 6: Almost looks like his kneecap may have gotten dislocated there. 1230 01:00:58,880 --> 01:01:02,000 Speaker 6: It looked like, right, I don't know, that's a scary one. 1231 01:01:02,920 --> 01:01:06,560 Speaker 11: Yep, got shifted down. There's still some concern, lots of 1232 01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,720 Speaker 11: medical stuff around Pedrod it right now, Albert Rosneck sitting 1233 01:01:09,760 --> 01:01:12,520 Speaker 11: next to him. Well, tonight's match is presented by the 1234 01:01:12,560 --> 01:01:18,640 Speaker 11: Western Washington Toyota Dealers, and A's Pedro gets some care 1235 01:01:18,680 --> 01:01:20,600 Speaker 11: and attention for the medical stuff. Let's just flip to 1236 01:01:22,080 --> 01:01:27,600 Speaker 11: Christian rolled On and Pochettino and what the next camp 1237 01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:29,720 Speaker 11: will look like for him, of course, And I mean 1238 01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:33,200 Speaker 11: we talk about a game of games. The US and 1239 01:01:33,240 --> 01:01:36,040 Speaker 11: men's nation team will play a group game here in Seattle, 1240 01:01:37,000 --> 01:01:40,120 Speaker 11: and it's definitely conceivable that Christian Roldan could play a part. 1241 01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:42,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah, I'm looking at part of World Cup qualifying 1242 01:01:42,720 --> 01:01:46,080 Speaker 6: in twenty fourteen. We played here against Panama in twenty thirteen, 1243 01:01:46,200 --> 01:01:50,439 Speaker 6: myself and Eddie Johnson, and it was it's really hard 1244 01:01:50,480 --> 01:01:52,320 Speaker 6: to put into words what I think that meant to 1245 01:01:52,400 --> 01:01:53,960 Speaker 6: both of us. And to be able to play here 1246 01:01:54,040 --> 01:01:56,520 Speaker 6: in Seattle. Obviously you walk out and it's a sea 1247 01:01:56,560 --> 01:01:58,400 Speaker 6: of red, white and blue, but you know that that's 1248 01:01:58,440 --> 01:02:01,960 Speaker 6: your home. And we that the fans were gonna show 1249 01:02:02,040 --> 01:02:03,840 Speaker 6: up and show out, and they sure did on that 1250 01:02:03,960 --> 01:02:05,320 Speaker 6: day and we go on to win that game. I 1251 01:02:05,360 --> 01:02:07,560 Speaker 6: think Eddie scored in that game as well. And for 1252 01:02:07,680 --> 01:02:09,680 Speaker 6: Christian no how have the opportunity to do it with 1253 01:02:09,800 --> 01:02:12,240 Speaker 6: a with a World Cup right, that just adds so 1254 01:02:12,480 --> 01:02:15,320 Speaker 6: much to it. To do it here in Seattle would 1255 01:02:15,320 --> 01:02:17,000 Speaker 6: be incredible. Now, there's a lot of work to do 1256 01:02:17,400 --> 01:02:21,400 Speaker 6: for Christian. I think he's at an old enough age 1257 01:02:21,480 --> 01:02:25,320 Speaker 6: now where win comments are made, Like Pochettino said, like 1258 01:02:25,400 --> 01:02:27,560 Speaker 6: if you could carve out your ultimate soccer player, it 1259 01:02:27,600 --> 01:02:30,960 Speaker 6: would basically be in the image of a Christian rolled on. 1260 01:02:32,280 --> 01:02:33,520 Speaker 1: I think he can live up to that. 1261 01:02:34,040 --> 01:02:36,080 Speaker 6: I think his shoulders are big enough and he's at 1262 01:02:36,120 --> 01:02:38,760 Speaker 6: an old enough age now where those comments don't really 1263 01:02:38,800 --> 01:02:40,800 Speaker 6: affect him. He's gonna play his game and do it well. 1264 01:02:40,840 --> 01:02:43,280 Speaker 6: He knows what got him here to this point and 1265 01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:47,000 Speaker 6: now can he put it into practice. And I think 1266 01:02:47,040 --> 01:02:48,960 Speaker 6: for him it's just about staying healthy at this point. 1267 01:02:50,240 --> 01:02:52,960 Speaker 11: It certainly is for him. It's he's been a resilient player. 1268 01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:57,640 Speaker 11: Of course, he's had issues with some back to back concussions. 1269 01:02:57,680 --> 01:02:59,640 Speaker 11: Of course, that cats him out for a good while. 1270 01:03:00,840 --> 01:03:04,160 Speaker 11: He and Alex both suffered from concussions in the last 1271 01:03:04,200 --> 01:03:06,760 Speaker 11: couple of years. But we're seeing Paul Rothrock now warming up. 1272 01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:09,400 Speaker 11: It's going to be a likeful like switch for Brian Schmitze. 1273 01:03:10,120 --> 01:03:11,840 Speaker 11: There was probably a decision that he had to make 1274 01:03:11,920 --> 01:03:14,760 Speaker 11: with his coaching staff on which attacking three to sit 1275 01:03:14,840 --> 01:03:19,160 Speaker 11: behind Jordan Morris. But there's a long, long delay here. 1276 01:03:19,160 --> 01:03:20,440 Speaker 11: There's gonna be a lot of time added on the 1277 01:03:20,560 --> 01:03:23,160 Speaker 11: end of this first half as sound as players just 1278 01:03:23,240 --> 01:03:27,040 Speaker 11: need to mentally reset and Brad maybe talk about as 1279 01:03:27,040 --> 01:03:29,040 Speaker 11: a player when you have an injury like this and 1280 01:03:29,280 --> 01:03:31,880 Speaker 11: a long pause, especially a concern. We saw it Stephen Fry. 1281 01:03:31,920 --> 01:03:33,280 Speaker 11: Of course, that was at the very end of the 1282 01:03:33,400 --> 01:03:36,800 Speaker 11: game that they managed to think as Nanca and Schmitz 1283 01:03:36,840 --> 01:03:39,080 Speaker 11: came together and just kind of ended the game, but 1284 01:03:39,200 --> 01:03:41,840 Speaker 11: this one is obviously a lot different in this first half. 1285 01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:44,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think going over this one again for those 1286 01:03:44,400 --> 01:03:46,720 Speaker 6: that are listening. It was not malicious, right, It was 1287 01:03:46,800 --> 01:03:49,960 Speaker 6: just a twist. It was a freak little accident. But 1288 01:03:50,040 --> 01:03:52,240 Speaker 6: I think for the guys to regroup. Now you see 1289 01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:55,240 Speaker 6: Schwetz and his staff talking to the players. You now 1290 01:03:55,680 --> 01:03:58,720 Speaker 6: see Steph JP talking to the players. It's about coming 1291 01:03:58,800 --> 01:04:01,400 Speaker 6: together and you always expect as a player these things 1292 01:04:01,440 --> 01:04:04,360 Speaker 6: could happen, right, And when we're taught, you now have 1293 01:04:04,480 --> 01:04:06,440 Speaker 6: to get switched on and switched in. It's not like 1294 01:04:06,680 --> 01:04:09,280 Speaker 6: just the Sounders team has now stopped to play. It's 1295 01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:11,320 Speaker 6: also New York City, right, both teams in a little 1296 01:04:11,320 --> 01:04:13,520 Speaker 6: bit of a rhythm, Sounders a little bit more so. 1297 01:04:13,680 --> 01:04:15,880 Speaker 6: Now it's up. Can the Sounders come together as a 1298 01:04:15,920 --> 01:04:20,120 Speaker 6: group and get back into a rhythm. But these long stoppages, 1299 01:04:20,160 --> 01:04:23,920 Speaker 6: I mean we're at five or six minutes already, as 1300 01:04:24,000 --> 01:04:26,600 Speaker 6: Pedro kind of wheeled off, yep. 1301 01:04:26,760 --> 01:04:28,400 Speaker 11: Just to give a bit of a picture of what 1302 01:04:28,560 --> 01:04:31,240 Speaker 11: is happening right now, Petro's right on the sideline. He's 1303 01:04:31,280 --> 01:04:34,280 Speaker 11: now being picked up by a stretcher. So sad to 1304 01:04:34,400 --> 01:04:37,240 Speaker 11: see as he was coming back to his really best form, 1305 01:04:37,320 --> 01:04:39,240 Speaker 11: of course, and he's just picked up now put on 1306 01:04:39,320 --> 01:04:43,880 Speaker 11: a medical cart that's on the field. Fans are standing 1307 01:04:43,960 --> 01:04:47,320 Speaker 11: up giving a round of applause, of course, and Pedro's 1308 01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:51,240 Speaker 11: going to be driven off and given some attention I'm 1309 01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:54,919 Speaker 11: sure inside the dressing room medical area before potentially having 1310 01:04:54,960 --> 01:04:59,440 Speaker 11: to go off. So maybe a medical facility somewhere in 1311 01:04:59,520 --> 01:05:02,560 Speaker 11: the city here, So we're about as far away from 1312 01:05:02,960 --> 01:05:06,400 Speaker 11: home as you can get, so not helpful necessarily for 1313 01:05:06,480 --> 01:05:10,720 Speaker 11: the sounds and their medical staff. Some foreign surroundings around here, 1314 01:05:10,800 --> 01:05:13,400 Speaker 11: but they'll get well taken care of. Paul Rothrock now 1315 01:05:13,880 --> 01:05:16,880 Speaker 11: comes on, so for Brian Schmidt, so he's going to 1316 01:05:16,880 --> 01:05:18,919 Speaker 11: get a lightful like switch, but not in a manner 1317 01:05:18,960 --> 01:05:21,840 Speaker 11: in which you'd want in any day. As Dela Vega 1318 01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:27,200 Speaker 11: gets sub doubt due to injury, and then Paul Rothrock's 1319 01:05:27,200 --> 01:05:29,000 Speaker 11: got to come on that left hand side. It's gonna 1320 01:05:29,000 --> 01:05:32,360 Speaker 11: be a lightful like switch for goal seven assists man 1321 01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,440 Speaker 11: is Paul Rothrock. And now the players are going to 1322 01:05:35,480 --> 01:05:39,400 Speaker 11: have to reset and get themselves in a position where 1323 01:05:39,440 --> 01:05:43,360 Speaker 11: they can refocus on the game because we've got a 1324 01:05:43,400 --> 01:05:44,080 Speaker 11: lot of time left. 1325 01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:47,080 Speaker 6: Bread Yeah, and Pedro's coming off right now just clapping 1326 01:05:47,160 --> 01:05:48,920 Speaker 6: his hands gives the little thumbs up, and the New 1327 01:05:49,000 --> 01:05:51,880 Speaker 6: York City fans as well clapping him off, just a 1328 01:05:51,920 --> 01:05:54,880 Speaker 6: little respect coming off the field there. But you got 1329 01:05:54,960 --> 01:05:57,880 Speaker 6: to feel for Pedro at this moment, right, He's battled 1330 01:05:57,880 --> 01:06:00,680 Speaker 6: back from last year's significant injuries that kept him out 1331 01:06:00,680 --> 01:06:02,200 Speaker 6: for a long time, and like you said, playing is 1332 01:06:02,560 --> 01:06:05,360 Speaker 6: playing his best soccer as of late. And then to 1333 01:06:05,400 --> 01:06:08,400 Speaker 6: come off the field with another one. You know, hopefully 1334 01:06:08,440 --> 01:06:10,960 Speaker 6: it's if it is just a ptel at tent a 1335 01:06:11,040 --> 01:06:14,080 Speaker 6: patella like kneecap, right, that it can just be shifted 1336 01:06:14,160 --> 01:06:16,480 Speaker 6: back into place and in a couple of weeks you're 1337 01:06:16,560 --> 01:06:18,160 Speaker 6: kind of you're kind of back into the mix, we 1338 01:06:18,240 --> 01:06:21,160 Speaker 6: hope for best case scenario. But now for the Sounders, 1339 01:06:21,240 --> 01:06:24,080 Speaker 6: this quick shift into straight into playing, can they get 1340 01:06:24,080 --> 01:06:27,800 Speaker 6: into a rhythm quickly? That's the one that they've been 1341 01:06:27,840 --> 01:06:31,040 Speaker 6: looking for significantly, right, just trying to unlock Jordan Morris 1342 01:06:31,920 --> 01:06:34,600 Speaker 6: and using his speed and anything they can do to 1343 01:06:34,640 --> 01:06:36,800 Speaker 6: get Jordan in behind to get him a couple opportunities 1344 01:06:36,880 --> 01:06:39,000 Speaker 6: on goal. And how important would it be for the 1345 01:06:39,080 --> 01:06:41,520 Speaker 6: Sounders to get him to today heading into the playoffs 1346 01:06:41,560 --> 01:06:43,320 Speaker 6: As you're you know, your DP at the end of 1347 01:06:43,320 --> 01:06:45,600 Speaker 6: the day, we forget that Jordan. I think we forget 1348 01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:47,920 Speaker 6: sometimes that Jordan is a DP, one of the highest 1349 01:06:47,960 --> 01:06:50,360 Speaker 6: paid players on the team page to score goals, so 1350 01:06:50,440 --> 01:06:51,880 Speaker 6: that pressure is building on him as well. 1351 01:06:52,200 --> 01:06:54,720 Speaker 11: Harry is now on the right hand side, run inside 1352 01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:57,560 Speaker 11: by Kilan. He cuts it back to Jordan, goes down. 1353 01:06:57,920 --> 01:07:01,080 Speaker 11: Referee's looking at it and is a penalty. Brilliant play 1354 01:07:01,160 --> 01:07:03,400 Speaker 11: by Jordan. Came off that right hand side, he fed 1355 01:07:03,440 --> 01:07:07,280 Speaker 11: it into Kilaney. They'll reverse pass back into the run 1356 01:07:07,360 --> 01:07:10,360 Speaker 11: of Jordan Morris and he saw the pressure of Martin's 1357 01:07:10,360 --> 01:07:13,040 Speaker 11: coming across. He took a touch past him, felt the 1358 01:07:13,120 --> 01:07:15,880 Speaker 11: pressure went down and it's a penalty kick. 1359 01:07:16,440 --> 01:07:18,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, we'll see about this one. It was a little 1360 01:07:18,760 --> 01:07:21,160 Speaker 6: late from the referee. Jordan looked to go down pretty 1361 01:07:21,200 --> 01:07:24,200 Speaker 6: easy on this one. We'll have to wait to see 1362 01:07:24,200 --> 01:07:27,160 Speaker 6: a replay. It's well done by Jordan. Look, it's simple, 1363 01:07:27,320 --> 01:07:29,280 Speaker 6: simple soccer given. Gold gets down the line and then 1364 01:07:29,320 --> 01:07:31,200 Speaker 6: it's a run from Klannie inside the box and he 1365 01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:33,080 Speaker 6: does all the right things. Pull this one back. Jordan's 1366 01:07:33,080 --> 01:07:35,440 Speaker 6: gets a touch of the ball. Yeah, I don't think 1367 01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:37,160 Speaker 6: that's a pen Let's wash it here in slow motion 1368 01:07:37,800 --> 01:07:39,960 Speaker 6: It depends on it's if he gets his foot. We 1369 01:07:40,000 --> 01:07:42,640 Speaker 6: can't really tell from this angle. That's a little soft. 1370 01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:44,880 Speaker 11: So the question always is is there enough evidence to 1371 01:07:44,920 --> 01:07:47,080 Speaker 11: turn it over? Was that contact and if there was contact, 1372 01:07:47,080 --> 01:07:49,920 Speaker 11: by default he went down. Can they turn that over? 1373 01:07:50,000 --> 01:07:50,320 Speaker 11: I don't know. 1374 01:07:50,600 --> 01:07:52,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, they'll have to send it to VR to make 1375 01:07:52,600 --> 01:07:55,360 Speaker 6: Chris Pencil think about this one. 1376 01:07:56,120 --> 01:08:03,200 Speaker 11: Yeah, Chris Pencer. Referee down below VR is Jeff Gamble, 1377 01:08:03,360 --> 01:08:07,840 Speaker 11: So we'll see what mister Gamble make of this. Sounders 1378 01:08:07,960 --> 01:08:10,760 Speaker 11: New York City players well, New York City have pleaded 1379 01:08:10,760 --> 01:08:12,640 Speaker 11: in their case. Of course, Sounder is right. Now have 1380 01:08:12,720 --> 01:08:16,360 Speaker 11: the ball in the hands of Ruzzneck and that's gonna 1381 01:08:16,360 --> 01:08:18,479 Speaker 11: be VR check. Referee's gonna do it, and whenever we 1382 01:08:18,560 --> 01:08:20,960 Speaker 11: see that now, most likely he has been given the 1383 01:08:21,000 --> 01:08:25,280 Speaker 11: information he needs just to validate on the field. It 1384 01:08:25,360 --> 01:08:26,800 Speaker 11: looks like this one's coming back. 1385 01:08:26,880 --> 01:08:29,559 Speaker 6: Brad, Yeah, I think so. I mean, Martin's does all 1386 01:08:29,600 --> 01:08:31,760 Speaker 6: the right things here and just puts enough pressure. But 1387 01:08:31,880 --> 01:08:34,439 Speaker 6: I unless there's something in slow motion here where he 1388 01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:38,240 Speaker 6: steps on his foot that makes Jordan lose his balance. 1389 01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:42,840 Speaker 6: So here it is a good angle. Jordan clearly touches 1390 01:08:42,880 --> 01:08:48,920 Speaker 6: the ball first and doesn't step on his foot at all. 1391 01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:52,080 Speaker 6: Jordan tries to drag his foot across, but that's not 1392 01:08:52,160 --> 01:08:54,360 Speaker 6: gonna be enough. I think that'll be a good enough 1393 01:08:54,439 --> 01:08:57,240 Speaker 6: view for Chris pen Soul to overturn this one. 1394 01:08:57,360 --> 01:09:00,320 Speaker 11: Yeah, the view we're looking at is as Martin's could 1395 01:09:00,320 --> 01:09:03,120 Speaker 11: his right foot down, you could see the toe in 1396 01:09:03,200 --> 01:09:05,880 Speaker 11: the full foot of Marris just behind it. 1397 01:09:06,280 --> 01:09:08,400 Speaker 6: But you know what Jordan has to do here when 1398 01:09:08,439 --> 01:09:10,799 Speaker 6: he touches this ball, He's got to lean into Martin's 1399 01:09:11,240 --> 01:09:12,760 Speaker 6: right He's got to lean in and try to get 1400 01:09:12,800 --> 01:09:15,880 Speaker 6: as much contact as he can on the ball. I mean, 1401 01:09:15,920 --> 01:09:17,280 Speaker 6: you have to think if this was going in the 1402 01:09:17,320 --> 01:09:19,040 Speaker 6: other way and Jackson Reagan did that to one of 1403 01:09:19,040 --> 01:09:22,680 Speaker 6: their strikers, you say, absolutely no penalty. He exactly if 1404 01:09:22,720 --> 01:09:24,720 Speaker 6: a player does that, throws up their arms like they're 1405 01:09:24,760 --> 01:09:25,479 Speaker 6: on a roller coaster. 1406 01:09:25,600 --> 01:09:28,040 Speaker 11: Well, it's been interesting with Jordan Marris missed the penalty 1407 01:09:28,160 --> 01:09:31,040 Speaker 11: last week. Would he have been given the responsibility to 1408 01:09:31,160 --> 01:09:33,120 Speaker 11: step up and here's the referees. He's gonna put his 1409 01:09:33,240 --> 01:09:34,080 Speaker 11: VR check. 1410 01:09:33,960 --> 01:09:35,080 Speaker 6: And tell us. 1411 01:09:39,160 --> 01:09:41,040 Speaker 11: You have you hear from the chairs from the crowd, 1412 01:09:41,720 --> 01:09:45,960 Speaker 11: decision of penalties being overturned, and Jordan Marris is probably 1413 01:09:45,960 --> 01:09:47,600 Speaker 11: gona give a little high five to Martinez. 1414 01:09:49,800 --> 01:09:51,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, but look, the build up to the play was brilliant. 1415 01:09:52,040 --> 01:09:54,479 Speaker 6: Hey ready, wasson, Let's not forget it started out out 1416 01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:57,040 Speaker 6: of the back and some really good play from the 1417 01:09:57,080 --> 01:10:02,479 Speaker 6: Sounders coming through the midfield. Decent opportunity. 1418 01:10:03,400 --> 01:10:06,200 Speaker 11: Well sound as FC Socket is presented by Provident, Swedish 1419 01:10:06,320 --> 01:10:09,519 Speaker 11: official healthcare partner of Sounders. FC's we get here in 1420 01:10:09,560 --> 01:10:13,960 Speaker 11: the twenty ninth minute nil nil New York City Sounders 1421 01:10:14,000 --> 01:10:17,320 Speaker 11: here in city field in the New York City area 1422 01:10:17,400 --> 01:10:22,479 Speaker 11: and borough of Queen's Kilane stuffs another ball a little short? 1423 01:10:22,560 --> 01:10:24,679 Speaker 11: Is that twice now in this first half? As Kilane 1424 01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:28,439 Speaker 11: which just misplayed that ball backwards. We're on nine fifty 1425 01:10:29,840 --> 01:10:34,680 Speaker 11: am here in New York They New York habit play 1426 01:10:34,720 --> 01:10:38,280 Speaker 11: at square. Jackson Reagan right place, right time, just gets 1427 01:10:38,320 --> 01:10:41,599 Speaker 11: his left boot and who sit forward? Jordan Morris scrapping 1428 01:10:41,680 --> 01:10:44,320 Speaker 11: for it. Should I find anything right now to get 1429 01:10:45,040 --> 01:10:49,240 Speaker 11: on the score sheet? Of course Jordan missed League's Cup. 1430 01:10:49,280 --> 01:10:51,240 Speaker 11: As the ball goes in good run by New York 1431 01:10:51,280 --> 01:10:55,000 Speaker 11: City towards the end line, great defending by rolled on again. 1432 01:10:55,080 --> 01:10:58,599 Speaker 11: He goes down to the deck and the cutback ran 1433 01:10:58,800 --> 01:11:01,640 Speaker 11: right into all don shin over the end line. It 1434 01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:03,679 Speaker 11: goes corner. Good defending by Alex. 1435 01:11:03,960 --> 01:11:05,920 Speaker 6: Great defending. These are the toughest ones. I thought he'd 1436 01:11:05,960 --> 01:11:08,360 Speaker 6: hit it right there, but insteads Alexa get to the byline, 1437 01:11:08,720 --> 01:11:10,599 Speaker 6: cuts it back on a forty five. Alex does all 1438 01:11:10,600 --> 01:11:13,000 Speaker 6: the right things, block the low, the low ball right, 1439 01:11:13,080 --> 01:11:15,719 Speaker 6: let everything go high. Steph can deal with that. Jackson 1440 01:11:15,720 --> 01:11:17,240 Speaker 6: can deal with it, but you have to take away 1441 01:11:17,320 --> 01:11:18,920 Speaker 6: one of the options. I think if you stay on 1442 01:11:18,960 --> 01:11:21,400 Speaker 6: your feet and you reach, might go through your legs 1443 01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:23,559 Speaker 6: and be in the back of the net. Well done. 1444 01:11:23,920 --> 01:11:26,760 Speaker 11: There's Morales from New York left hand side. It's gonna 1445 01:11:26,760 --> 01:11:28,240 Speaker 11: be with his right foot. It's going to be an 1446 01:11:28,280 --> 01:11:31,400 Speaker 11: in swinger with that right foot, and it comes low 1447 01:11:31,479 --> 01:11:33,639 Speaker 11: towards the near corner of the six, cleared by Jordan. 1448 01:11:33,680 --> 01:11:36,240 Speaker 11: Morris with his right foot just clips it over the 1449 01:11:36,320 --> 01:11:38,040 Speaker 11: halfway line and the ball has to go all the 1450 01:11:38,080 --> 01:11:43,000 Speaker 11: way back by O'Toole to the goalkeeper. Knocks it forward, 1451 01:11:43,160 --> 01:11:45,960 Speaker 11: just slices off his right foot. He's going to bounce. 1452 01:11:45,960 --> 01:11:49,280 Speaker 11: It's be easily collected by Jackson. Reagan on this near 1453 01:11:49,439 --> 01:11:53,559 Speaker 11: side rolls it in square to JP who's been efficient 1454 01:11:53,640 --> 01:11:55,639 Speaker 11: so far as JP and Danny Labor, not too much 1455 01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,840 Speaker 11: pressure coming through the sound As midfield so far. Very 1456 01:11:58,920 --> 01:12:01,680 Speaker 11: much like RSL last week, where JP was able to 1457 01:12:01,720 --> 01:12:05,200 Speaker 11: maybe get over the minute count that Brian initially maybe 1458 01:12:05,240 --> 01:12:07,400 Speaker 11: had planned for him, just a man in which the game. 1459 01:12:07,280 --> 01:12:09,960 Speaker 6: Went Brad Yeah, yeah, And I think JP has showed 1460 01:12:09,960 --> 01:12:12,679 Speaker 6: it you can play that role and keep the ball. 1461 01:12:12,920 --> 01:12:15,200 Speaker 6: You're gonna extend your minutes, You're gonna extend your career. 1462 01:12:15,520 --> 01:12:18,000 Speaker 6: It's when JP gets in moments and the Sounders get 1463 01:12:18,080 --> 01:12:20,080 Speaker 6: under pressure where he has to chase side to side 1464 01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:22,599 Speaker 6: and the Sounders feel like they're under the gun. That's 1465 01:12:22,600 --> 01:12:24,640 Speaker 6: where JP gets in trouble because he just doesn't have 1466 01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:27,559 Speaker 6: the quickness just yet. But he's got Danny Lava right 1467 01:12:27,600 --> 01:12:29,679 Speaker 6: beside him, and something we talked about this week with Dany, 1468 01:12:29,680 --> 01:12:32,679 Speaker 6: he's been fantastic. But for me, I see a change 1469 01:12:32,720 --> 01:12:35,200 Speaker 6: in the first forty five minutes and the second forty 1470 01:12:35,200 --> 01:12:37,559 Speaker 6: five minutes. He puts so much effort in him, covers 1471 01:12:37,640 --> 01:12:40,160 Speaker 6: so much ground that he needs to be more like 1472 01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:42,360 Speaker 6: JP and pick and choose his moments a bit better. 1473 01:12:42,400 --> 01:12:44,840 Speaker 6: Then he becomes a full, complete ninety minute player and 1474 01:12:44,920 --> 01:12:46,719 Speaker 6: not just a ninety minute player, but a ninety minute 1475 01:12:46,760 --> 01:12:47,400 Speaker 6: impact player. 1476 01:12:48,080 --> 01:12:50,080 Speaker 11: As the ball goes fort toor Jordan Marsh tries to 1477 01:12:50,160 --> 01:12:52,840 Speaker 11: knock it back, giving up picked up now by New 1478 01:12:52,920 --> 01:12:54,840 Speaker 11: York City in the center circle, rolls it in square 1479 01:12:54,960 --> 01:12:58,640 Speaker 11: quickly to Martinez, but won by the Sounder is now 1480 01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:00,920 Speaker 11: the foot of Russneck tries to thread the needle in behind. 1481 01:13:00,920 --> 01:13:03,639 Speaker 11: Here comes Jordan Morris left side of the eighteen yard 1482 01:13:03,680 --> 01:13:06,360 Speaker 11: book track, well by Martin's and it's going to be 1483 01:13:06,400 --> 01:13:10,080 Speaker 11: a thrown deep, deep on the Sounders left hand side. 1484 01:13:10,080 --> 01:13:12,479 Speaker 11: As we're looking at Sounder's attacking the goal to our left, 1485 01:13:12,960 --> 01:13:15,840 Speaker 11: Neil Neil Sounders, New York just after the thirty minute mark. 1486 01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:18,560 Speaker 11: We expect to have a good number of minutes of 1487 01:13:18,680 --> 01:13:22,479 Speaker 11: added time. Pedro de la Vega unfortunately picked up an 1488 01:13:22,520 --> 01:13:26,679 Speaker 11: injury was carted off the field. Paul Rothrock now playing 1489 01:13:26,720 --> 01:13:27,920 Speaker 11: on that left hand side. 1490 01:13:29,880 --> 01:13:30,000 Speaker 26: Well. 1491 01:13:30,040 --> 01:13:32,400 Speaker 11: This corporated audio cast of Major League Soccer may not 1492 01:13:32,439 --> 01:13:36,479 Speaker 11: be retransmitted, reproduced, or rebroadcast without their express rint consent 1493 01:13:36,760 --> 01:13:39,559 Speaker 11: of Major League Soccer. It's gonna be a long throw 1494 01:13:39,640 --> 01:13:41,840 Speaker 11: for the Sounders on this left hand side with Paul 1495 01:13:41,920 --> 01:13:44,600 Speaker 11: Rothrock in it comes narrow confines of the field low, 1496 01:13:44,720 --> 01:13:46,759 Speaker 11: the balls to go deep into the eighteen yard box 1497 01:13:47,240 --> 01:13:50,360 Speaker 11: headed by GP back to Paul left hand side, twenty 1498 01:13:50,400 --> 01:13:53,439 Speaker 11: five yards from the end line, just hugging this near 1499 01:13:53,560 --> 01:13:55,840 Speaker 11: touch line as the ball goes back to Alex rolled 1500 01:13:55,880 --> 01:13:57,880 Speaker 11: on in his own half of the field too. Knew 1501 01:13:57,880 --> 01:14:01,599 Speaker 11: who so mentioned. Back from international duty, a good number 1502 01:14:01,640 --> 01:14:04,960 Speaker 11: of players, oh bet Christian just left at home to 1503 01:14:05,800 --> 01:14:11,360 Speaker 11: recover from their travels and play. Of course, Christian played 1504 01:14:11,360 --> 01:14:14,400 Speaker 11: a good number of minutes just a few days ago 1505 01:14:14,640 --> 01:14:16,920 Speaker 11: against Australia where he got two assists. Of the ball 1506 01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:20,240 Speaker 11: bounces through and it comes and for JP, Brad and 1507 01:14:20,400 --> 01:14:23,320 Speaker 11: Danny it's a perfect field tykon fines, not too much 1508 01:14:23,400 --> 01:14:26,479 Speaker 11: real estate to cover, but the challenges playing with pressure 1509 01:14:26,600 --> 01:14:28,400 Speaker 11: and ball under pressure, and those two can do it 1510 01:14:28,680 --> 01:14:29,400 Speaker 11: any day of the week. 1511 01:14:29,479 --> 01:14:31,960 Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly. It's gonna save their legs at the end 1512 01:14:32,000 --> 01:14:33,640 Speaker 6: of the day. And you wouldn't think that, you know, 1513 01:14:33,800 --> 01:14:35,599 Speaker 6: four or five yards on either side of the field 1514 01:14:35,720 --> 01:14:37,080 Speaker 6: is going to change the game that much, but it 1515 01:14:37,160 --> 01:14:39,439 Speaker 6: really does. If you've done any training with youth teams 1516 01:14:39,680 --> 01:14:41,200 Speaker 6: and you start it small and then you make it 1517 01:14:41,439 --> 01:14:44,439 Speaker 6: just a little bit bigger, somehow things start to connect 1518 01:14:44,760 --> 01:14:46,360 Speaker 6: just a little bit more so for those two it's 1519 01:14:46,360 --> 01:14:48,759 Speaker 6: going to be how they sit together in that midfield. 1520 01:14:48,840 --> 01:14:50,960 Speaker 6: Let Rusnak do some work in front of you, and 1521 01:14:51,080 --> 01:14:53,360 Speaker 6: let Jordan too. Why not on a field like this, 1522 01:14:53,720 --> 01:14:55,920 Speaker 6: the Sounders away from home can let New York City 1523 01:14:55,960 --> 01:14:58,240 Speaker 6: have the ball in the back, let Jordan drop back 1524 01:14:58,240 --> 01:15:01,439 Speaker 6: a little bit deeper, and r two sixers can basically 1525 01:15:01,600 --> 01:15:04,080 Speaker 6: just sit and hope that they don't have to cover 1526 01:15:04,200 --> 01:15:06,320 Speaker 6: too much ground as players get in and out of position. 1527 01:15:07,360 --> 01:15:10,320 Speaker 11: Ball on the left hand side for New York City 1528 01:15:10,360 --> 01:15:14,920 Speaker 11: try to wriggle through a couple of green shirts. There's 1529 01:15:15,040 --> 01:15:17,599 Speaker 11: o'tool on the far side, wins the court. Actually whin's 1530 01:15:17,600 --> 01:15:20,160 Speaker 11: the thrown on the far side five yards from the 1531 01:15:20,320 --> 01:15:25,280 Speaker 11: corner flag, quickly thrown into Morales. Sunda starts stepping up 1532 01:15:25,280 --> 01:15:27,080 Speaker 11: their line top of their eighteen yard box. The ball 1533 01:15:27,200 --> 01:15:33,479 Speaker 11: goes back to martinz and then square into Gray finds 1534 01:15:33,560 --> 01:15:36,519 Speaker 11: Gustavo far side the left picked up by O'Toole just 1535 01:15:36,600 --> 01:15:42,559 Speaker 11: drops it back and it goes to Maxim. Morales able 1536 01:15:42,600 --> 01:15:44,519 Speaker 11: to turn with no real pressure left hand side and 1537 01:15:44,560 --> 01:15:49,280 Speaker 11: cuts the ball back to Martinez top of the box. 1538 01:15:49,400 --> 01:15:53,120 Speaker 11: Referee doesn't think anything of it crowd won a foul. 1539 01:15:53,439 --> 01:15:57,479 Speaker 11: Nothing given by Chris Pensul, the man in the middle. 1540 01:15:58,160 --> 01:16:00,400 Speaker 11: It's already made a big call Vrch. It was a 1541 01:16:00,439 --> 01:16:03,080 Speaker 11: penalty given and then it was overturned on Jordan Morris. 1542 01:16:04,600 --> 01:16:07,880 Speaker 11: As you mentioned, Jordan needs a goal. It feels like 1543 01:16:08,000 --> 01:16:12,200 Speaker 11: six goals since the league's cut final. Had a chance 1544 01:16:13,640 --> 01:16:16,040 Speaker 11: last week from the penalty spot, wasn't able to convert. 1545 01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:19,000 Speaker 11: And it just feels Brad getting Jordan on the score 1546 01:16:19,040 --> 01:16:21,600 Speaker 11: sheet before the playoffs and any which way is what 1547 01:16:21,720 --> 01:16:22,920 Speaker 11: Brian Schmezer probably wants. 1548 01:16:23,200 --> 01:16:25,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, and that was just it was a perfect opportunity. 1549 01:16:25,520 --> 01:16:28,200 Speaker 6: I got to speak with Andy Rose on Sunday and 1550 01:16:28,280 --> 01:16:30,960 Speaker 6: he was like, look, we've been taking penalty kicks since 1551 01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:33,400 Speaker 6: Pete before the beginning part of this year because we 1552 01:16:33,439 --> 01:16:36,240 Speaker 6: knew what tournaments were coming up, just in case. And 1553 01:16:36,320 --> 01:16:38,800 Speaker 6: he said Jordan's penalties were unbelievable. It goes right side 1554 01:16:38,880 --> 01:16:40,880 Speaker 6: top wins every single time, and I think the group 1555 01:16:40,960 --> 01:16:44,439 Speaker 6: was confident. He was confident. It just didn't work out. 1556 01:16:44,920 --> 01:16:47,080 Speaker 11: Dan Leba tries to thread the needle into a Rosnak, 1557 01:16:47,200 --> 01:16:49,240 Speaker 11: just skips by Rosnak over the end line. It goes 1558 01:16:49,280 --> 01:16:51,760 Speaker 11: it's going to be a goal kick for New York 1559 01:16:51,880 --> 01:16:54,960 Speaker 11: Neil nil here thirty five minute mark. As he mentioned, 1560 01:16:55,040 --> 01:16:57,560 Speaker 11: we will tick past that forty five minute mark with 1561 01:16:57,680 --> 01:17:00,280 Speaker 11: some significant added time because of an injury to Pedro 1562 01:17:00,360 --> 01:17:02,920 Speaker 11: de la Vega had to be carted off the field unfortunately, 1563 01:17:03,560 --> 01:17:07,479 Speaker 11: look like some kneecap injury and we'll get a read 1564 01:17:07,520 --> 01:17:09,599 Speaker 11: on that, I'm sure after the game. We'll see if 1565 01:17:09,600 --> 01:17:11,479 Speaker 11: Brian Schmidtz has some news to share in his press 1566 01:17:11,520 --> 01:17:13,599 Speaker 11: conference or something next week. 1567 01:17:13,680 --> 01:17:17,240 Speaker 6: But we know what was interesting when Ziggi was the coach. 1568 01:17:17,400 --> 01:17:19,280 Speaker 6: Before the game, he'd write down the lineup and then 1569 01:17:19,280 --> 01:17:21,519 Speaker 6: he would always put the two penalty kick takers on 1570 01:17:21,680 --> 01:17:25,160 Speaker 6: a sheet, and so whoever it was on that week, 1571 01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:26,800 Speaker 6: it was one or two, the whole group knew what 1572 01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:28,800 Speaker 6: was going to happen. And Schmitzer doesn't do that with 1573 01:17:28,880 --> 01:17:30,320 Speaker 6: the squad. He gives it up to the team to 1574 01:17:30,360 --> 01:17:31,439 Speaker 6: make the decision on the field. 1575 01:17:31,600 --> 01:17:36,280 Speaker 11: Here's New York towards the endline Wolf trusted Wriggle free 1576 01:17:36,560 --> 01:17:40,439 Speaker 11: eleven gold Men is Wolf the second and goals to 1577 01:17:40,760 --> 01:17:42,679 Speaker 11: just Martinez and number sixteen. 1578 01:17:42,760 --> 01:17:44,760 Speaker 6: As a couple of New. 1579 01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:47,360 Speaker 11: York players comes and puts pressure on, but calmly back 1580 01:17:47,360 --> 01:17:50,439 Speaker 11: to Alex Roldan who plays the pull through two blue 1581 01:17:50,520 --> 01:17:52,840 Speaker 11: shirts and finds Ruzneck. If there's a player that can 1582 01:17:52,880 --> 01:17:55,599 Speaker 11: receive the ball in the pressure is that man Albert 1583 01:17:55,720 --> 01:17:57,800 Speaker 11: who does regular the pressure and then plays it square 1584 01:17:57,840 --> 01:18:02,080 Speaker 11: quickly into Danny Labor, who again earned his opportunity today 1585 01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:06,120 Speaker 11: based on his practice and also his performance last week 1586 01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:10,559 Speaker 11: against RSL where he did play alongside JP and Bran. 1587 01:18:10,600 --> 01:18:13,040 Speaker 11: Schmetz was asked about the concern maybe of not having 1588 01:18:13,120 --> 01:18:15,080 Speaker 11: Obed and Christian together in the middle of the park, 1589 01:18:15,160 --> 01:18:18,280 Speaker 11: and as common was well, Danny and JP have never 1590 01:18:18,360 --> 01:18:20,880 Speaker 11: let me down when playing together, and they've played times together. 1591 01:18:20,960 --> 01:18:24,360 Speaker 11: Of course at the beginning parts of the season when 1592 01:18:24,720 --> 01:18:27,679 Speaker 11: we had a whole congestion of conker CAFT Champions Cup games, 1593 01:18:27,800 --> 01:18:30,559 Speaker 11: MLS games, was that rotation, and they've had some games 1594 01:18:30,640 --> 01:18:33,200 Speaker 11: under their belt and if nothing else, they're playing together 1595 01:18:33,200 --> 01:18:35,240 Speaker 11: every single day and practice against the starting eleven. 1596 01:18:35,439 --> 01:18:37,559 Speaker 6: Yeah, and look for Danny Leva. I think the biggest 1597 01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:40,160 Speaker 6: jump for him was going on loan last year into 1598 01:18:40,240 --> 01:18:43,040 Speaker 6: a different into a different team and a different environment 1599 01:18:43,120 --> 01:18:45,640 Speaker 6: and to really take control. He did really well. I 1600 01:18:45,680 --> 01:18:48,360 Speaker 6: think Kilane's picked up a bloody nose here. On eron 1601 01:18:48,720 --> 01:18:51,679 Speaker 6: elbow as the play kind of stops. So for Danny Leva, 1602 01:18:52,040 --> 01:18:54,439 Speaker 6: it has been the evolution for him. But let's not 1603 01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:57,320 Speaker 6: forget he's the one who came in here before the 1604 01:18:57,400 --> 01:18:59,800 Speaker 6: other guys stepped into their roles the youngsters, and he 1605 01:18:59,880 --> 01:19:03,080 Speaker 6: was supposed to be the next big thing. But he's 1606 01:19:03,160 --> 01:19:05,679 Speaker 6: now just kind of finding that maturity in that form 1607 01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:09,639 Speaker 6: and the patience. When he came in, he was extremely athletic. 1608 01:19:09,720 --> 01:19:11,640 Speaker 6: He was able to wiggle out of every situation. But 1609 01:19:11,840 --> 01:19:14,400 Speaker 6: now you're seeing a smarter player, and I think that 1610 01:19:14,520 --> 01:19:15,680 Speaker 6: does a lot to you. When you have to go 1611 01:19:15,800 --> 01:19:17,640 Speaker 6: away from home, you get out of your environment, you 1612 01:19:17,680 --> 01:19:19,400 Speaker 6: have kind of have to grow up quick, even at 1613 01:19:19,479 --> 01:19:22,000 Speaker 6: his young age. But he's come back into the Sounders 1614 01:19:22,040 --> 01:19:24,800 Speaker 6: and stayed hungry. That's a difficult position to be in. 1615 01:19:24,880 --> 01:19:26,280 Speaker 6: You come you don't know when your number is going 1616 01:19:26,320 --> 01:19:28,760 Speaker 6: to be cold, and that's always difficult. So for him, 1617 01:19:28,840 --> 01:19:32,120 Speaker 6: credit to Danny for always stepping in being a team player. 1618 01:19:32,439 --> 01:19:34,400 Speaker 6: But he's got some really good mentors around him, and 1619 01:19:34,479 --> 01:19:37,519 Speaker 6: luckily he's paired with JP who's been through it for years. 1620 01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:42,280 Speaker 11: Well, big score to update you on Charlotte playing Philadelphia 1621 01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:44,240 Speaker 11: in Charlotte. We thought it might be a tough game 1622 01:19:44,360 --> 01:19:47,760 Speaker 11: for Charlotte playing it's the support a Shield champs in Philadelphia, 1623 01:19:47,880 --> 01:19:51,000 Speaker 11: but of course Philly not anything to play for other 1624 01:19:51,080 --> 01:19:53,400 Speaker 11: than finishing off the season strong. But it's going to 1625 01:19:53,439 --> 01:19:56,120 Speaker 11: be it's too nil right now to Charlotte. They were 1626 01:19:56,240 --> 01:20:00,160 Speaker 11: in fourth position coming into the games this evening, New 1627 01:20:00,240 --> 01:20:03,080 Speaker 11: York City sitting right in fifth, and as a reminder 1628 01:20:03,080 --> 01:20:05,080 Speaker 11: of the top four get home field advantage and the 1629 01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:08,320 Speaker 11: best of three games in the first round proper. And 1630 01:20:08,400 --> 01:20:11,439 Speaker 11: then so five, six, seven, and eight will travel in 1631 01:20:11,560 --> 01:20:14,639 Speaker 11: that first game eight versus nine will be a midweek 1632 01:20:14,720 --> 01:20:17,599 Speaker 11: playoff game, single game elimination game to see who plays 1633 01:20:17,880 --> 01:20:22,040 Speaker 11: and qualifies in that first round proper, they will sit 1634 01:20:22,200 --> 01:20:27,400 Speaker 11: as the eighth seed. And for the Sounders, they're still waiting, 1635 01:20:27,439 --> 01:20:29,080 Speaker 11: and they'll have to wait a little longer. Probably when 1636 01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:30,960 Speaker 11: they get off their plane coming back home, they'll know 1637 01:20:31,080 --> 01:20:35,439 Speaker 11: exactly who they're playing, because the Sounders still have a 1638 01:20:35,520 --> 01:20:37,040 Speaker 11: question mark on who they play. 1639 01:20:37,160 --> 01:20:37,400 Speaker 6: Right now. 1640 01:20:37,439 --> 01:20:40,880 Speaker 11: It's Minnesota sitting fourth, but you've also got LAFC in 1641 01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:44,280 Speaker 11: San Diego sitting in third and second, and things could 1642 01:20:44,320 --> 01:20:46,640 Speaker 11: shake out where any of those three teams could be 1643 01:20:46,680 --> 01:20:50,120 Speaker 11: the opposition for the Sounders, and that two, three and 1644 01:20:50,280 --> 01:20:53,559 Speaker 11: four could circulate through and change up and right, I'll 1645 01:20:53,600 --> 01:20:55,840 Speaker 11: last you on the road to Minnesota, on the road 1646 01:20:55,880 --> 01:20:59,960 Speaker 11: to LAFC, on the road to San Diego. Where would 1647 01:20:59,960 --> 01:21:01,800 Speaker 11: you money being? Where you who do you want to play? 1648 01:21:02,080 --> 01:21:04,560 Speaker 6: Yeah? Well least out of those three, I'd want to 1649 01:21:04,600 --> 01:21:06,920 Speaker 6: play LAFC right now, Right, I think with those two 1650 01:21:07,040 --> 01:21:10,479 Speaker 6: up front have scored something like seventeen out of the 1651 01:21:10,560 --> 01:21:13,759 Speaker 6: last nineteen goals for them, which is absolutely incredible between 1652 01:21:13,760 --> 01:21:16,800 Speaker 6: Bologo and Sun and just the history between the two 1653 01:21:16,960 --> 01:21:20,920 Speaker 6: powerhouse clubs in the West. Now, Minnesota doesn't scare me 1654 01:21:21,040 --> 01:21:24,479 Speaker 6: as much as San Diego does. I think San Diego 1655 01:21:24,560 --> 01:21:27,000 Speaker 6: playing in a four to three to three it really 1656 01:21:28,680 --> 01:21:30,920 Speaker 6: the challenge for the Sounders was how did they play 1657 01:21:31,000 --> 01:21:33,120 Speaker 6: out of that pressure? And they got caught multiple times, 1658 01:21:33,160 --> 01:21:36,240 Speaker 6: whether it was in Seattle or or down in San Diego. 1659 01:21:36,600 --> 01:21:39,599 Speaker 6: And then you have the results against Minnesota not ideal either, Right, 1660 01:21:39,840 --> 01:21:43,080 Speaker 6: you have a draw in Minnesota was the latest result. 1661 01:21:43,200 --> 01:21:44,920 Speaker 6: They sit back in a five to three two. Play 1662 01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:48,080 Speaker 6: for set pieces. Are the Sounders the best at defending 1663 01:21:48,160 --> 01:21:52,080 Speaker 6: set pieces? Not really this year, but scoring set pieces? 1664 01:21:52,160 --> 01:21:55,559 Speaker 6: They haven't been great either, and so I think i'd 1665 01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:59,240 Speaker 6: take Minnesota out of that group just because they don't 1666 01:21:59,240 --> 01:22:02,400 Speaker 6: really have that gusto going forward that I think San 1667 01:22:02,439 --> 01:22:03,120 Speaker 6: Diego does. 1668 01:22:03,360 --> 01:22:06,240 Speaker 11: I agree, you think the best of three, Minnesota might 1669 01:22:06,280 --> 01:22:07,960 Speaker 11: give you the best chance of winning two of those 1670 01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:11,840 Speaker 11: three games, and then it's a single elimination game. You'll 1671 01:22:11,880 --> 01:22:15,880 Speaker 11: be on the road. Yes to LAFC, San Diego, whoever 1672 01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:19,439 Speaker 11: it might be at that time. But for the Sounders, 1673 01:22:21,040 --> 01:22:22,960 Speaker 11: I think Minnesota would be a good bet. They'll give 1674 01:22:23,080 --> 01:22:25,960 Speaker 11: possession up, but they've been effective in the manner in 1675 01:22:25,960 --> 01:22:28,160 Speaker 11: which they've played. It comes to corner caick now for 1676 01:22:28,240 --> 01:22:31,120 Speaker 11: New York. Whipped in, headed clear by Jordan, not convincingly, 1677 01:22:31,160 --> 01:22:34,240 Speaker 11: and then hacked over the top by Gray with his 1678 01:22:34,960 --> 01:22:37,599 Speaker 11: weaker left foot, goes high and wide into the stand 1679 01:22:37,680 --> 01:22:40,080 Speaker 11: behind Steph and FRI's goal. It's gonna be a goal 1680 01:22:40,200 --> 01:22:44,200 Speaker 11: kick forty minute mark here, New York nil, Sounders Nils. 1681 01:22:44,240 --> 01:22:47,280 Speaker 11: You get here on decision Day in MLS final game 1682 01:22:47,320 --> 01:22:50,160 Speaker 11: of the regular season, Sounders have fifth position all wrapped up. 1683 01:22:51,080 --> 01:22:53,000 Speaker 11: The question now is who do they play? And I'll 1684 01:22:53,040 --> 01:22:54,840 Speaker 11: have to wait just a little longer. They're playing on 1685 01:22:54,880 --> 01:22:59,400 Speaker 11: that eastern conference schedule today is East versus West. Fifteen 1686 01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:01,800 Speaker 11: team in each conference, there's always gonna be that odd 1687 01:23:01,920 --> 01:23:05,240 Speaker 11: one out. For this year, it's Sounders in New York 1688 01:23:05,240 --> 01:23:07,679 Speaker 11: and here comes New York over lapping run by otool, 1689 01:23:08,200 --> 01:23:12,599 Speaker 11: drop of the shoulder and it gets it coming off 1690 01:23:12,600 --> 01:23:14,719 Speaker 11: an off side position but managed to hold it. Perea 1691 01:23:15,040 --> 01:23:17,760 Speaker 11: in behind in support has the ball. Now goes back 1692 01:23:17,800 --> 01:23:21,760 Speaker 11: to Gustava, rolls it across to Martinz dead center of 1693 01:23:21,840 --> 01:23:23,360 Speaker 11: the middle of the field, comes out to this near 1694 01:23:23,439 --> 01:23:25,439 Speaker 11: sight to great down the line. It goes heavy on 1695 01:23:25,520 --> 01:23:28,200 Speaker 11: the pass. Sounds will take that all day long. It's 1696 01:23:28,240 --> 01:23:28,960 Speaker 11: gonna be a goal kick. 1697 01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:31,400 Speaker 6: No, No, here's the difference you see in a Sounders 1698 01:23:31,439 --> 01:23:33,519 Speaker 6: team versus New York City. Yes, New York City has 1699 01:23:33,560 --> 01:23:35,960 Speaker 6: some incredible athletes, but when it comes to those pivotal 1700 01:23:36,040 --> 01:23:38,759 Speaker 6: moments of making the right pass when the moment should 1701 01:23:38,960 --> 01:23:41,479 Speaker 6: should be, the Sounders provide it more often than not. 1702 01:23:41,720 --> 01:23:43,840 Speaker 6: And I think that's what we'll propel this team is 1703 01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,280 Speaker 6: just that maturity and the constant training on when we're 1704 01:23:46,320 --> 01:23:48,600 Speaker 6: in moments of pressure, can we keep the ball and 1705 01:23:48,720 --> 01:23:51,840 Speaker 6: really fight through. Sounders started off this game I think fantastic, 1706 01:23:52,400 --> 01:23:56,160 Speaker 6: multiple opportunities, possession, swinging the ball side to side, and then, 1707 01:23:56,680 --> 01:23:58,080 Speaker 6: just like a couple of weeks ago, you get a 1708 01:23:58,120 --> 01:23:59,960 Speaker 6: couple of injuries and it kind of takes the win 1709 01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:01,400 Speaker 6: out of the Sales on the night, and I think 1710 01:24:01,439 --> 01:24:04,080 Speaker 6: the Sounders since that injury happened, I've kind of been 1711 01:24:04,120 --> 01:24:07,360 Speaker 6: fighting just to get into halftime, maintained possession, no real 1712 01:24:07,439 --> 01:24:11,040 Speaker 6: clear cut opportunities. JP gets caught with the ball now 1713 01:24:11,040 --> 01:24:14,559 Speaker 6: it's Danny Labor. New York City have to ratchet up 1714 01:24:14,680 --> 01:24:18,120 Speaker 6: if they want any any opportunity to buy for that 1715 01:24:18,200 --> 01:24:19,000 Speaker 6: fourth place spot. 1716 01:24:19,200 --> 01:24:22,400 Speaker 11: We'll played by JP on Perea. But O'Toole has it, 1717 01:24:22,560 --> 01:24:24,000 Speaker 11: rolls it out to the far side the left of 1718 01:24:24,080 --> 01:24:29,000 Speaker 11: Morales just cuts it back to O'Toole one goal, one 1719 01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:31,280 Speaker 11: assist on his campaign, has made a couple of overlapping 1720 01:24:31,320 --> 01:24:34,080 Speaker 11: runs on that left hand side. It's Gray has it 1721 01:24:34,680 --> 01:24:41,799 Speaker 11: of comes Fernandez mcau really clean left foot does mccau 1722 01:24:42,040 --> 01:24:45,640 Speaker 11: Breness Airi's Argentinian native four goals, eleven assists on his 1723 01:24:46,600 --> 01:24:51,040 Speaker 11: campaign this year. Starvo receives it fast side the left 1724 01:24:51,080 --> 01:24:53,760 Speaker 11: is Morales just finding pocketsas basically launched it towards the 1725 01:24:53,840 --> 01:24:57,880 Speaker 11: back post. Won by Fernandez Macau against Knew who has 1726 01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:00,600 Speaker 11: knew who goes in a little bit clumsily maybe and 1727 01:25:00,680 --> 01:25:03,360 Speaker 11: then just Macaw goes down referee and the sister referee 1728 01:25:03,400 --> 01:25:04,080 Speaker 11: is not given anything. 1729 01:25:04,200 --> 01:25:04,719 Speaker 13: So far. 1730 01:25:06,400 --> 01:25:11,080 Speaker 11: Martinez isn't able to handle the clearance. August Ricochet is 1731 01:25:11,120 --> 01:25:17,479 Speaker 11: off the New York Captain's shins. Referee got something in 1732 01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:19,720 Speaker 11: his earpiece, told him to keep going. Nothing there on 1733 01:25:19,800 --> 01:25:22,600 Speaker 11: that challenge by Knew who. You need to be a 1734 01:25:22,640 --> 01:25:24,560 Speaker 11: little bit careful. It's heart and mouth time sometimes I 1735 01:25:24,760 --> 01:25:26,120 Speaker 11: knew who goes flying over there? 1736 01:25:26,600 --> 01:25:28,920 Speaker 6: Well, you build a reputation for yourself too. I think 1737 01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:32,360 Speaker 6: every time the referee has to right, maybe just tuck 1738 01:25:32,400 --> 01:25:34,439 Speaker 6: his ear piece in a little tighter to make sure 1739 01:25:34,479 --> 01:25:36,840 Speaker 6: he doesn't hear anything calming in when it's Knew who 1740 01:25:36,920 --> 01:25:37,559 Speaker 6: making a tackle. 1741 01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:41,960 Speaker 11: Sounders have it in there attacking half of the field 1742 01:25:42,040 --> 01:25:44,040 Speaker 11: now with raw Dodge rolls it out to the far 1743 01:25:44,200 --> 01:25:49,880 Speaker 11: side with Kilany's got two tissues stuffed in his nose 1744 01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:54,000 Speaker 11: after so that maybe just got a little collision the 1745 01:25:54,200 --> 01:25:56,600 Speaker 11: cause of bloody nose as Labor plays it around the 1746 01:25:56,680 --> 01:25:59,519 Speaker 11: corner well to JP who's been calm and composed in 1747 01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:02,800 Speaker 11: the middle of the park. And Ferrera getting a little 1748 01:26:02,840 --> 01:26:04,080 Speaker 11: bit of the ball. It's been a little quiet in 1749 01:26:04,120 --> 01:26:07,200 Speaker 11: this first half as Ferrera, but he's finding those pockets 1750 01:26:07,240 --> 01:26:11,120 Speaker 11: of space and certainly almost shining lights so far this season. 1751 01:26:11,120 --> 01:26:12,479 Speaker 11: It took him a little while to get going, as 1752 01:26:12,520 --> 01:26:15,360 Speaker 11: you'd expect coming from Dallas, his hometown club hadn't played 1753 01:26:15,360 --> 01:26:19,080 Speaker 11: anywhere else except Dallas, and then took the opportunity to 1754 01:26:19,320 --> 01:26:22,200 Speaker 11: change things up and reboot his career to some extent, 1755 01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:25,800 Speaker 11: even though he's top of the pier when it comes 1756 01:26:25,800 --> 01:26:28,439 Speaker 11: to goals for any player below the age of twenty five, 1757 01:26:28,560 --> 01:26:31,839 Speaker 11: hit that mark this year where he went past Landon Donovan. 1758 01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:35,599 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think for Verira, you rarely rarely see him 1759 01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:37,760 Speaker 6: lose the ball or make the wrong decision and you 1760 01:26:37,880 --> 01:26:39,519 Speaker 6: have to have guys like that on the field. Now 1761 01:26:39,520 --> 01:26:41,920 Speaker 6: if you could just get him going offensively as well. 1762 01:26:42,560 --> 01:26:44,280 Speaker 6: He doesn't really have the keys to the car like 1763 01:26:44,360 --> 01:26:46,000 Speaker 6: he did in Dallas, and that changes the way that 1764 01:26:46,080 --> 01:26:48,320 Speaker 6: you play. He's still trying to find his footing of 1765 01:26:48,439 --> 01:26:51,439 Speaker 6: exactly how he fits into this Sounders team number one, 1766 01:26:51,840 --> 01:26:54,360 Speaker 6: and I think what made FC Dallas a great team 1767 01:26:54,640 --> 01:26:56,920 Speaker 6: was heesus Ferrara and we need to get to the 1768 01:26:56,960 --> 01:26:59,320 Speaker 6: point here with the sounders where the sounders have to 1769 01:26:59,360 --> 01:27:02,080 Speaker 6: make him a great player too and really allow him 1770 01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:05,439 Speaker 6: to shine. Just haven't really unlocked where he's where, Where 1771 01:27:05,560 --> 01:27:07,519 Speaker 6: is he best at? Is he a number nine? Is 1772 01:27:07,960 --> 01:27:10,800 Speaker 6: he withdrawn number nine? Is her right winger a number ten? 1773 01:27:11,720 --> 01:27:13,680 Speaker 6: So he's played multiple positions, So credit to him for 1774 01:27:13,720 --> 01:27:16,080 Speaker 6: still putting his head down and more often than not 1775 01:27:16,240 --> 01:27:17,120 Speaker 6: making the right decision. 1776 01:27:17,680 --> 01:27:19,679 Speaker 11: New York have It corner of the eighteen yobox flicks 1777 01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:22,719 Speaker 11: away by Jackson, just finds the foot of Ananda's mcow strike. 1778 01:27:22,800 --> 01:27:26,479 Speaker 11: Top of the books. Great save byfe Freud, who is 1779 01:27:26,600 --> 01:27:29,519 Speaker 11: left flung himself to his left hand side bulsolly and 1780 01:27:29,600 --> 01:27:32,720 Speaker 11: eventually goes up. Maybe it was an assistant refreeze flight 1781 01:27:32,880 --> 01:27:37,160 Speaker 11: came up for the rebounded rebound from stef and Fry's safe. 1782 01:27:37,240 --> 01:27:40,400 Speaker 11: But again Stephen Fry, the critical moment stands strong, makes 1783 01:27:40,439 --> 01:27:40,960 Speaker 11: a great safe. 1784 01:27:41,040 --> 01:27:43,360 Speaker 6: Yeah, what an awkward player here. Ball swung in Jackson 1785 01:27:43,439 --> 01:27:46,240 Speaker 6: last ditch effort and then it's new who applying pressure 1786 01:27:46,240 --> 01:27:47,920 Speaker 6: and then a swing and a miss and then a 1787 01:27:47,960 --> 01:27:50,840 Speaker 6: shot from the top of the box. Stephen Fry makes 1788 01:27:50,840 --> 01:27:54,560 Speaker 6: a great save. Just a little slit ball top of 1789 01:27:54,600 --> 01:27:57,519 Speaker 6: the eighteen actually comes off an ankle. It's a decent 1790 01:27:57,600 --> 01:28:00,639 Speaker 6: strike there and a good save, strong hand Stephan Fry. 1791 01:28:02,080 --> 01:28:04,320 Speaker 11: There's Frying with possession of the ball, just clips it 1792 01:28:04,400 --> 01:28:08,280 Speaker 11: out to the far side and headed forward by Colone. 1793 01:28:08,360 --> 01:28:11,240 Speaker 11: We'll played by for just as Brad Evans mentioned, keeping 1794 01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:13,320 Speaker 11: the ball, not giving the ball away and there's Colonie 1795 01:28:13,360 --> 01:28:17,760 Speaker 11: wins the foul and the first yellow card of the game. 1796 01:28:18,920 --> 01:28:22,400 Speaker 11: We'll spend like it matters by supporting BIPOC and diverse 1797 01:28:22,560 --> 01:28:26,640 Speaker 11: owned businesses all year long.

So seven minutes of any time, 1800 01:28:33,680 --> 01:28:35,559 Speaker 11: all of it due to that injury on Della Vega 1801 01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:39,320 Speaker 11: had to be carted off the field about twenty minutes 1802 01:28:39,360 --> 01:28:41,439 Speaker 11: into the game, picked up a knee injury. We'll get 1803 01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:45,120 Speaker 11: more reports and information as they come in, most likely 1804 01:28:45,160 --> 01:28:48,400 Speaker 11: will be postgame from Brian Schmidtz all the club. But 1805 01:28:49,000 --> 01:28:53,080 Speaker 11: very unfortunate for Pedro of course, and an unfortunate for 1806 01:28:53,120 --> 01:28:57,000 Speaker 11: the club as well as gets that critical part of 1807 01:28:57,040 --> 01:29:00,200 Speaker 11: the season as we enter the playoffs next week. But 1808 01:29:00,280 --> 01:29:03,120 Speaker 11: there is a bit of hope in terms of Ryan 1809 01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:06,280 Speaker 11: Kent as well, who's back in practice this week. Another 1810 01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:08,439 Speaker 11: player that can play on that left hand side lightful 1811 01:29:08,560 --> 01:29:11,720 Speaker 11: like position as Pedro, and of course Paul Rothrock is 1812 01:29:11,720 --> 01:29:14,599 Speaker 11: a player that started most games this season has played 1813 01:29:14,600 --> 01:29:17,960 Speaker 11: incredibly well. He comes off the bench and replaces Dela 1814 01:29:18,040 --> 01:29:21,840 Speaker 11: Vega as Jackson brings the ball down and comfortably back 1815 01:29:21,880 --> 01:29:25,320 Speaker 11: to Stephan Frye.

You have to 1824 01:29:51,920 --> 01:29:55,479 Speaker 6: do all these years, I mean over over ten years 1825 01:29:55,560 --> 01:29:59,439 Speaker 6: now playing in a baseball stadium right, much like Sporting 1826 01:29:59,520 --> 01:30:01,800 Speaker 6: Kansas City, you play inside Arrowhead, then you got to 1827 01:30:01,840 --> 01:30:04,840 Speaker 6: go to a baseball stadium and then all of a sudden, oh. 1828 01:30:04,800 --> 01:30:07,160 Speaker 11: The advantage was given and then it was a yellow card. 1829 01:30:07,240 --> 01:30:11,640 Speaker 11: The referee could have let things go JP got smashed down. 1830 01:30:11,680 --> 01:30:13,639 Speaker 11: It was great play by JP, just flicked it around 1831 01:30:13,680 --> 01:30:16,400 Speaker 11: the corner as the pressure came in. It's gonna be 1832 01:30:16,439 --> 01:30:17,240 Speaker 11: a yellow card. 1833 01:30:17,360 --> 01:30:19,599 Speaker 6: But well, this is the second week in a row 1834 01:30:19,680 --> 01:30:21,800 Speaker 6: that this has happened with these referees and Schmetz. When 1835 01:30:21,800 --> 01:30:24,120 Speaker 6: I was doing sideline last week, Schmetz was incensed a 1836 01:30:24,160 --> 01:30:26,960 Speaker 6: couple moments where let the play develop. It doesn't matter 1837 01:30:27,000 --> 01:30:29,000 Speaker 6: if it's twenty seconds later, go ahead and call it 1838 01:30:29,080 --> 01:30:31,280 Speaker 6: back or the Sounders don't get anything out of an 1839 01:30:31,320 --> 01:30:33,680 Speaker 6: opportunity now because he's pulling the ball back. But the 1840 01:30:33,720 --> 01:30:35,679 Speaker 6: Sounders are on the break regardless if it's a yellow 1841 01:30:35,720 --> 01:30:39,280 Speaker 6: card or not. Certainly yellow card here, but then Paul 1842 01:30:39,320 --> 01:30:41,680 Speaker 6: Rothrock's on a break moving forward. If we don't get 1843 01:30:41,720 --> 01:30:43,479 Speaker 6: anything out it, then you stop to play and give 1844 01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:46,920 Speaker 6: a yellow card after. It's like the opposite of the 1845 01:30:46,960 --> 01:30:48,640 Speaker 6: off side rule now right, I was gonna say, this 1846 01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:51,920 Speaker 6: is a referee s age offsides. Takes thirty forty seconds 1847 01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:54,400 Speaker 6: for them to raise the flag. Something could happen. Here's 1848 01:30:54,439 --> 01:30:57,160 Speaker 6: something does happen. The Sounders have an advantage and the 1849 01:30:57,240 --> 01:31:01,400 Speaker 6: referee blows the whistle right away. A bit confusing. 1850 01:31:02,560 --> 01:31:05,360 Speaker 11: Efficient first half so far, as Coloney got a shirt 1851 01:31:05,479 --> 01:31:07,519 Speaker 11: change no number on his back right now due to 1852 01:31:07,560 --> 01:31:11,080 Speaker 11: that bloody nose, as Labor goes down and eventually wins 1853 01:31:11,160 --> 01:31:13,519 Speaker 11: the foul from the second third to ten potentially, as 1854 01:31:14,080 --> 01:31:17,280 Speaker 11: Peer goes in and just has a hack on Danny Laver, 1855 01:31:17,400 --> 01:31:21,120 Speaker 11: who's been quietly efficient in this first half alongside JP. 1856 01:31:21,320 --> 01:31:23,080 Speaker 11: But a chance from a set piece for the Sounders. 1857 01:31:23,880 --> 01:31:26,000 Speaker 11: As we tick past the four minute mark of the 1858 01:31:26,160 --> 01:31:30,080 Speaker 11: seven New York Neil Sounders nilness score date is presented 1859 01:31:30,160 --> 01:31:34,800 Speaker 11: by Providence Swedish. I'm sure the message ringing in the 1860 01:31:34,880 --> 01:31:37,599 Speaker 11: player's ears now is just keep things tight, nothing away. 1861 01:31:37,640 --> 01:31:39,120 Speaker 11: Can you nick a goal before you go into the 1862 01:31:39,160 --> 01:31:42,479 Speaker 11: locker room. It's going to be with Rusneck just flicks 1863 01:31:42,520 --> 01:31:45,600 Speaker 11: it forward, headed away by Martinez, comes across, but it 1864 01:31:45,640 --> 01:31:47,720 Speaker 11: can only knock it over the end line, and it's 1865 01:31:47,760 --> 01:31:49,639 Speaker 11: going to be a corner kick for the sound There's 1866 01:31:49,640 --> 01:31:52,679 Speaker 11: another chance from a set piece, and let's just reiterate 1867 01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:55,760 Speaker 11: some of the challenges the Sounders have had in set 1868 01:31:55,840 --> 01:31:58,280 Speaker 11: pieces and corner kicks. From one hundred and seventy five 1869 01:31:58,360 --> 01:32:00,960 Speaker 11: corner kicks coming into today's game, they but only scored two. 1870 01:32:01,320 --> 01:32:05,360 Speaker 11: Can they make it three headed clear and they can't. 1871 01:32:05,479 --> 01:32:09,200 Speaker 11: So the number in the percentage continues to tick up 1872 01:32:09,240 --> 01:32:12,000 Speaker 11: in terms of the lack of productivity from corner kicks. 1873 01:32:12,080 --> 01:32:14,880 Speaker 11: In twenty twenty one f one hundred and fifty five 1874 01:32:15,000 --> 01:32:18,800 Speaker 11: corner kicks nine goals. So Sounders have the height and 1875 01:32:18,880 --> 01:32:21,080 Speaker 11: the size, and obviously the quality of delivery is just 1876 01:32:22,040 --> 01:32:25,200 Speaker 11: a factor of I'm getting on the end of it. 1877 01:32:25,240 --> 01:32:27,559 Speaker 11: But it comes to New York with two minutes ago 1878 01:32:27,720 --> 01:32:30,200 Speaker 11: of the seven ball in behind is Perere inside the 1879 01:32:30,240 --> 01:32:32,120 Speaker 11: eighteen yard box. We'll take that all day long. As 1880 01:32:32,200 --> 01:32:35,400 Speaker 11: he hacks the ball over the crossbar, it was in 1881 01:32:35,479 --> 01:32:38,000 Speaker 11: a shot, it wasn't a cross but here's a goalkick. Well, 1882 01:32:38,040 --> 01:32:38,439 Speaker 11: they'll nil. 1883 01:32:38,560 --> 01:32:40,479 Speaker 6: And here's where the Sounders have to show their class. 1884 01:32:40,680 --> 01:32:42,719 Speaker 6: You don't see that from a Sounders player that often. 1885 01:32:42,760 --> 01:32:44,679 Speaker 6: You get in behind and you just have a willy 1886 01:32:44,760 --> 01:32:47,920 Speaker 6: nilly effort right from a player who's in a decent 1887 01:32:48,000 --> 01:32:50,760 Speaker 6: position but just not making the right decision. But the 1888 01:32:50,800 --> 01:32:54,080 Speaker 6: Sounders have not found themselves in those positions just yet 1889 01:32:54,120 --> 01:32:56,479 Speaker 6: today in this game. And that'll be the next step 1890 01:32:56,560 --> 01:32:58,360 Speaker 6: at halftime for Schmidz to break it down. How can 1891 01:32:58,439 --> 01:33:02,120 Speaker 6: we keep better possession in New York City's defensive third. Yes, 1892 01:33:02,280 --> 01:33:04,160 Speaker 6: it's three or five in the back, however you want 1893 01:33:04,200 --> 01:33:06,599 Speaker 6: to look at it. But we have to maintain possession 1894 01:33:06,600 --> 01:33:09,200 Speaker 6: of the ball higher up the field and get into 1895 01:33:09,240 --> 01:33:11,880 Speaker 6: these the spots that New York City have found a 1896 01:33:11,960 --> 01:33:13,759 Speaker 6: few times here and put the Sounders under pressure. 1897 01:33:16,080 --> 01:33:19,640 Speaker 11: All goes back to roll down to Kohlan each to 1898 01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:21,760 Speaker 11: look careful on that right hand side, goes back to Fry. 1899 01:33:21,760 --> 01:33:25,200 Speaker 11: Who's gonna clip it forward? It's the tight confines. It's 1900 01:33:25,280 --> 01:33:27,400 Speaker 11: just knocks it out of bounds. On the far side, 1901 01:33:27,960 --> 01:33:30,600 Speaker 11: there's a thrown to New York City in that the 1902 01:33:30,760 --> 01:33:34,840 Speaker 11: narrow confines of this field. Just it's that muscle memory 1903 01:33:34,920 --> 01:33:36,960 Speaker 11: is he tries to clip the ball to the outside, 1904 01:33:37,080 --> 01:33:40,200 Speaker 11: goes over the head of a Sounders player now rolled 1905 01:33:40,240 --> 01:33:42,720 Speaker 11: on has it right hand side? Does the smart thing? 1906 01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:46,280 Speaker 11: Whips it down the line? Morris heads it forward, clatter 1907 01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:48,759 Speaker 11: it into by Gustavo, but no foul given by the referee. 1908 01:33:48,840 --> 01:33:51,519 Speaker 11: Picked up now by JP who just launches the ball 1909 01:33:51,600 --> 01:33:54,800 Speaker 11: up in the air. Fifteen seconds to go of this 1910 01:33:55,280 --> 01:33:58,200 Speaker 11: first half, the ball gets clipped towards this near side 1911 01:33:58,200 --> 01:34:00,560 Speaker 11: to New Can the Sounders get one more chance on 1912 01:34:00,640 --> 01:34:03,040 Speaker 11: this left hand side ball whipped in, ball bounced around 1913 01:34:03,080 --> 01:34:05,840 Speaker 11: top of the box, picked up by Perea and that 1914 01:34:05,880 --> 01:34:08,840 Speaker 11: should be just about that. Smart foul by Kilane something 1915 01:34:08,880 --> 01:34:10,240 Speaker 11: he doesn't pick it up a yellow card, but no 1916 01:34:10,400 --> 01:34:13,559 Speaker 11: yellow card given as at this time by the referee, 1917 01:34:14,439 --> 01:34:16,680 Speaker 11: and that should be just about that. As we wait 1918 01:34:16,800 --> 01:34:19,599 Speaker 11: for Pete Fewing and Jackson fail to join us after 1919 01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:22,760 Speaker 11: the break to give us all there analysis coming out 1920 01:34:22,760 --> 01:34:25,800 Speaker 11: this first half, but for Brian Schmidt, so it was 1921 01:34:25,840 --> 01:34:28,960 Speaker 11: a reset for the team. About the twenty two minute mark, 1922 01:34:31,479 --> 01:34:33,559 Speaker 11: I say yellow card, I think by Freeze who came 1923 01:34:33,600 --> 01:34:38,080 Speaker 11: out to try and argue his case, and the referee 1924 01:34:38,160 --> 01:34:40,800 Speaker 11: should just pull this first half to a close. I 1925 01:34:40,840 --> 01:34:42,439 Speaker 11: think they arguing the fact that there was two quick 1926 01:34:42,520 --> 01:34:44,679 Speaker 11: fire yellow cards in New York and not one on Kilani. 1927 01:34:45,040 --> 01:34:47,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's fair and one is stopping the 1928 01:34:47,360 --> 01:34:49,840 Speaker 6: play just like it was for the Sounders. I think 1929 01:34:49,880 --> 01:34:52,280 Speaker 6: it's fair from Freeze and he's got enough experience and 1930 01:34:53,160 --> 01:34:55,800 Speaker 6: thinks he's got a voice and Chris Pencil says, no, 1931 01:34:55,960 --> 01:34:58,639 Speaker 6: you don't, there's a yellow card a voice, but he's 1932 01:34:58,640 --> 01:34:59,240 Speaker 6: a yellow card. 1933 01:35:01,080 --> 01:35:03,680 Speaker 11: Sounders have it fast side. I'm ticking towards the eight 1934 01:35:03,760 --> 01:35:05,960 Speaker 11: minute mark now of this seven so I'm not quite 1935 01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:11,200 Speaker 11: sure what the referees adding on should bring this to 1936 01:35:11,280 --> 01:35:14,719 Speaker 11: a finish. And there it is, just as a OTO's 1937 01:35:14,720 --> 01:35:16,960 Speaker 11: about to throw it in, he blows to whistle of 1938 01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:19,439 Speaker 11: the end of this first half. So no score to 1939 01:35:19,479 --> 01:35:23,360 Speaker 11: speak of. The only bit of unfortunate action for the 1940 01:35:23,479 --> 01:35:27,040 Speaker 11: Sounders will be the injury to Pedro de la Vega. 1941 01:35:27,120 --> 01:35:29,680 Speaker 11: He had to go off in that first half, and 1942 01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:32,519 Speaker 11: then Rothrock came on. But Brad your final. 1943 01:35:32,320 --> 01:35:34,280 Speaker 6: Thoughts, Yeah, I think Schmtze will go into the locker 1944 01:35:34,360 --> 01:35:38,320 Speaker 6: room decently happy with how things have gone so far. 1945 01:35:38,400 --> 01:35:41,839 Speaker 6: The Sounders with good possession early on, a couple half chances, 1946 01:35:42,600 --> 01:35:45,400 Speaker 6: but still yet to create that real opportunity.

It's what they 2006 01:39:03,200 --> 01:39:06,479 Speaker 2: essentially played because there was about nine minutes added there 2007 01:39:07,080 --> 01:39:10,320 Speaker 2: by our referee today after that first half, and there 2008 01:39:10,400 --> 01:39:13,200 Speaker 2: is a lot to discuss.

Pete, we got to start with this twentieth minute. 2014 01:39:26,600 --> 01:39:29,960 Speaker 2: Pedro de la Vega has a knee injury. A cart 2015 01:39:30,120 --> 01:39:33,879 Speaker 2: stretcher came out took Pedro off the field. Paul Rothrock 2016 01:39:33,960 --> 01:39:36,679 Speaker 2: came on a few minutes later for that left wing swap. 2017 01:39:37,120 --> 01:39:40,720 Speaker 2: But what we don't have official word yet, But what 2018 01:39:40,960 --> 01:39:43,360 Speaker 2: did you see from what happened to Pedro de la Vega. 2019 01:39:43,520 --> 01:39:46,400 Speaker 3: Yeah, as Brad and Danny said, it wasn't malicious. There 2020 01:39:46,479 --> 01:39:48,479 Speaker 3: was no bad tackle or anything like that, but it 2021 01:39:48,640 --> 01:39:51,320 Speaker 3: was awkward. As he Spaun and pirouetted to go up 2022 01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:56,680 Speaker 3: the field, the knee seemed to do something out of 2023 01:39:56,760 --> 01:40:00,760 Speaker 3: the norm. So and then as he landed, he looked 2024 01:40:00,760 --> 01:40:03,439 Speaker 3: at his knee and pointed at his knee right away, 2025 01:40:03,560 --> 01:40:05,720 Speaker 3: and it didn't look right. 2026 01:40:05,960 --> 01:40:07,160 Speaker 2: You got to you got a good look at the 2027 01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:09,400 Speaker 2: knee and the replay and you wrote down. So I 2028 01:40:09,439 --> 01:40:10,519 Speaker 2: don't know if you want to share it, but you 2029 01:40:10,600 --> 01:40:12,760 Speaker 2: wrote down something to what you thought it could be. Yeah, 2030 01:40:12,800 --> 01:40:15,559 Speaker 2: I'm no doctor, and we are We are no doctors, folks, 2031 01:40:15,600 --> 01:40:16,599 Speaker 2: We are no doctors. 2032 01:40:16,800 --> 01:40:19,440 Speaker 3: My first thought was, because of the way he responded, 2033 01:40:20,320 --> 01:40:24,479 Speaker 3: was that maybe a patilla dislocated ptella. It just looked 2034 01:40:24,560 --> 01:40:28,960 Speaker 3: knee cap yead, It looked it looked just out of shape. 2035 01:40:29,000 --> 01:40:32,800 Speaker 3: And so but again that's I don't think we're listen. 2036 01:40:32,840 --> 01:40:34,040 Speaker 4: We're not doctors, but we are. 2037 01:40:34,280 --> 01:40:36,320 Speaker 2: We are just you know, we are on the radio 2038 01:40:36,400 --> 01:40:39,080 Speaker 2: right now talking about what we think in your experience 2039 01:40:39,080 --> 01:40:41,240 Speaker 2: as a head coach, when a player has a dislocated kneecap, 2040 01:40:41,280 --> 01:40:41,840 Speaker 2: what does that mean. 2041 01:40:42,720 --> 01:40:45,080 Speaker 3: It's not as bad as an acl for sure, it's 2042 01:40:45,160 --> 01:40:47,200 Speaker 3: not as bad as a moniscus. It's get it back 2043 01:40:47,240 --> 01:40:50,439 Speaker 3: in place and restrengthen it and bring it back. And 2044 01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:54,080 Speaker 3: just by his response, I've dislocated a couple of things 2045 01:40:54,120 --> 01:40:56,479 Speaker 3: and you just kind of go, man, that looks weird 2046 01:40:56,800 --> 01:41:00,559 Speaker 3: and it's not painful. It's awkward, it is a little painful, 2047 01:41:00,600 --> 01:41:03,320 Speaker 3: but it's not terrible. So that's what I kind of 2048 01:41:03,439 --> 01:41:05,920 Speaker 3: that was my first when I was watching it live, 2049 01:41:07,040 --> 01:41:09,160 Speaker 3: not even in the replay. Right away, I thought, that's 2050 01:41:09,200 --> 01:41:11,960 Speaker 3: what that looked like. So and there wasn't a lot 2051 01:41:12,040 --> 01:41:16,840 Speaker 3: of panic with the with the medical staff, like a 2052 01:41:17,160 --> 01:41:18,120 Speaker 3: broken bone. 2053 01:41:17,920 --> 01:41:18,560 Speaker 6: Or something like that. 2054 01:41:18,840 --> 01:41:20,640 Speaker 2: So we did just get official word, and this is 2055 01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:24,160 Speaker 2: what we can share. Official word is a right knee 2056 01:41:24,560 --> 01:41:27,400 Speaker 2: injury for Pedro dalea Vega. That's all we have official, 2057 01:41:27,760 --> 01:41:31,519 Speaker 2: a right knee injury to Pedro dale Vega. So that 2058 01:41:31,840 --> 01:41:34,479 Speaker 2: is the big news to come out of that first half. Also, 2059 01:41:34,600 --> 01:41:37,840 Speaker 2: there was a penalty called var looked at it. Jordan 2060 01:41:37,880 --> 01:41:40,479 Speaker 2: Morris did not get stepped on in the box, so 2061 01:41:40,640 --> 01:41:43,720 Speaker 2: a penalty was rescinded, so that led us to the 2062 01:41:43,880 --> 01:41:47,439 Speaker 2: zero zero score. I would just very quickly say, if 2063 01:41:47,479 --> 01:41:50,519 Speaker 2: you're going to say that Jordan Morris didn't get stepped 2064 01:41:50,560 --> 01:41:54,040 Speaker 2: on and he still made the dive, isn't that simulation 2065 01:41:54,439 --> 01:41:55,120 Speaker 2: question mark? 2066 01:41:55,640 --> 01:41:57,400 Speaker 4: But that's all I'll say about that. It's a zero 2067 01:41:57,520 --> 01:41:58,400 Speaker 4: zero game at the half. 2068 01:41:58,600 --> 01:42:00,360 Speaker 2: We'll talk about some keys to the second half in 2069 01:42:00,439 --> 01:42:03,800 Speaker 2: a zero zero game between Seattle and NYCFC.

If the playoffs started at this moment, 2141 01:45:43,080 --> 01:45:45,720 Speaker 2: they'd be facing Miami. New York City is going to 2142 01:45:45,760 --> 01:45:47,120 Speaker 2: be on the front foot. They are going to be 2143 01:45:47,240 --> 01:45:49,120 Speaker 2: wanting to score because they do not want to face 2144 01:45:49,200 --> 01:45:52,799 Speaker 2: Miami in the first round. Given that piece of information. 2145 01:45:53,160 --> 01:45:55,120 Speaker 2: What are the keys for the Sounders to the second half. 2146 01:45:55,280 --> 01:45:56,680 Speaker 3: I think we're good at the back. I think the 2147 01:45:56,720 --> 01:45:59,200 Speaker 3: back four has been very solid. I think we've been 2148 01:45:59,240 --> 01:46:02,080 Speaker 3: good with JP and Leva. The wing play. You gotta 2149 01:46:02,080 --> 01:46:04,880 Speaker 3: get Paul Rothrock engaged for our engaged. Get the ball 2150 01:46:04,920 --> 01:46:07,000 Speaker 3: on Albert a little bit more, and we've got to 2151 01:46:07,040 --> 01:46:10,400 Speaker 3: get balls some service into Jordan Morris, whether it is 2152 01:46:10,479 --> 01:46:12,639 Speaker 3: a vertical pass, whether it is getting to the inline 2153 01:46:12,640 --> 01:46:15,360 Speaker 3: cutting back, or whether it's crosses from deep. But right 2154 01:46:15,439 --> 01:46:18,839 Speaker 3: now the front four are not really in sync. Hopefully 2155 01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:22,240 Speaker 3: they will have adjusted enough to the smaller field, smaller 2156 01:46:22,400 --> 01:46:24,880 Speaker 3: less space and can start clicking a little bit. 2157 01:46:24,960 --> 01:46:26,760 Speaker 4: It's Sounder zero, New York City zero. 2158 01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:29,160 Speaker 2: Second Half with Danny and Brad is next on Sports 2159 01:46:29,240 --> 01:46:30,880 Speaker 2: Radio nine to fifty KJR AM. 2160 01:46:31,160 --> 01:46:33,320 Speaker 18: Want the same expert advice from the pros at a 2161 01:46:33,400 --> 01:46:37,440 Speaker 18: discount tire store while shopping for tires online, Meet treadwell 2162 01:46:37,720 --> 01:46:41,639 Speaker 18: your personal tire guide.

I'm 2218 01:49:48,720 --> 01:49:51,800 Speaker 11: Danny Jackson alongside Brad Evans here in the booth for 2219 01:49:51,920 --> 01:49:54,960 Speaker 11: this final game of the regular season. Things on the 2220 01:49:55,439 --> 01:49:59,360 Speaker 11: Eastern Conference start to shake out, as Jackson Feltz mentioned, 2221 01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:02,960 Speaker 11: Miami trailing right now two on to Nashville. That changes 2222 01:50:03,040 --> 01:50:06,240 Speaker 11: things up pretty starkly for New York City, who with 2223 01:50:06,400 --> 01:50:08,880 Speaker 11: a win could have maybe jumped into home field advantage 2224 01:50:08,880 --> 01:50:11,200 Speaker 11: into that top four slot, but they dropped to seven 2225 01:50:11,320 --> 01:50:14,679 Speaker 11: now and the way that Cincinnati is winning, Miami is losing. 2226 01:50:15,160 --> 01:50:17,920 Speaker 11: That would be a Miami New York City matchup in 2227 01:50:18,000 --> 01:50:21,400 Speaker 11: that first round of the playoffs. Say home away home 2228 01:50:22,920 --> 01:50:26,200 Speaker 11: setup for that series for the higher seed, and here 2229 01:50:26,320 --> 01:50:28,120 Speaker 11: come the Sounders for the second half. They get us 2230 01:50:28,160 --> 01:50:33,120 Speaker 11: going with Albert Rouzneck Sounders in all green shirts, blue 2231 01:50:33,200 --> 01:50:36,360 Speaker 11: shorts and white socks today their anniversary kit attacking the 2232 01:50:36,400 --> 01:50:38,680 Speaker 11: goal to our right for the second half. And then 2233 01:50:38,760 --> 01:50:42,559 Speaker 11: New York City in their light blue shirts, white shorts, 2234 01:50:42,720 --> 01:50:46,040 Speaker 11: light blue socks aka Man City of course for the 2235 01:50:46,080 --> 01:50:48,800 Speaker 11: City football group. So the ball goes in top right 2236 01:50:48,880 --> 01:50:51,320 Speaker 11: corner of the box as Hack gets it, and he's 2237 01:50:51,320 --> 01:50:52,479 Speaker 11: in a yellow card, so he has to be a 2238 01:50:52,520 --> 01:50:54,400 Speaker 11: little bit careful the second half. Who was a quick 2239 01:50:54,439 --> 01:50:58,040 Speaker 11: fire yellow card for O'Toole and Hack. Towards the end 2240 01:50:58,080 --> 01:51:01,120 Speaker 11: of that first half, York City have it gonna whip 2241 01:51:01,120 --> 01:51:03,400 Speaker 11: it in along the six headed up and away and 2242 01:51:03,560 --> 01:51:06,599 Speaker 11: flick by Jackson O Reagan picked up on this near 2243 01:51:06,720 --> 01:51:09,040 Speaker 11: side by Colin. He's be a little bit careful as 2244 01:51:10,200 --> 01:51:14,000 Speaker 11: Martinez goes down, just falls down, does Alonzo Martinez the 2245 01:51:14,320 --> 01:51:17,000 Speaker 11: top goal scorer of the endline goal kick and Brad Evans, 2246 01:51:17,080 --> 01:51:19,040 Speaker 11: Your thoughts are the first half and then keys to 2247 01:51:19,080 --> 01:51:19,639 Speaker 11: the second half. 2248 01:51:19,760 --> 01:51:21,800 Speaker 6: Yeah, first half, Sounders came out strong and then of 2249 01:51:21,840 --> 01:51:23,920 Speaker 6: course you pick up an injury and that kind of 2250 01:51:23,960 --> 01:51:25,720 Speaker 6: defleats things just a little bit, and the Sounders just 2251 01:51:25,720 --> 01:51:28,400 Speaker 6: couldn't get into a rhythm. Out of the back seem fine, 2252 01:51:28,439 --> 01:51:31,080 Speaker 6: but then moving forward into the attacking third, a little 2253 01:51:31,120 --> 01:51:34,439 Speaker 6: bit disjointed, no real clear cut opportunities save for the 2254 01:51:34,520 --> 01:51:37,720 Speaker 6: Jordan Morris, shall we call it a dive. We'll call 2255 01:51:37,760 --> 01:51:40,040 Speaker 6: it a dive. And so in the second half, I 2256 01:51:40,040 --> 01:51:41,840 Speaker 6: think the adjustments are going to be, Hey, we all 2257 01:51:41,920 --> 01:51:43,640 Speaker 6: have to ramp it up just a little bit, ten 2258 01:51:43,640 --> 01:51:46,559 Speaker 6: to fifteen percent in the attacking third, stayed more focused. 2259 01:51:46,960 --> 01:51:48,840 Speaker 6: New York City's done a good job tonight. They haven't 2260 01:51:48,880 --> 01:51:51,640 Speaker 6: really given anything to the Sounders in a way of 2261 01:51:51,720 --> 01:51:54,679 Speaker 6: a bad pass or an arrant long bowl or anything 2262 01:51:54,840 --> 01:51:57,519 Speaker 6: really in behind. And I think they know that that's 2263 01:51:57,520 --> 01:51:59,920 Speaker 6: what Jordan Morris wants, right. They're not going to play 2264 01:52:00,040 --> 01:52:01,560 Speaker 6: the high line like a lot of teams do and 2265 01:52:01,640 --> 01:52:04,720 Speaker 6: live and die by it, much like Salt Lake last week, 2266 01:52:05,040 --> 01:52:08,040 Speaker 6: Highline the entire time pushing to get points for New 2267 01:52:08,120 --> 01:52:09,720 Speaker 6: York City. They kind of know where they stand now, 2268 01:52:09,760 --> 01:52:11,919 Speaker 6: and I think that They'll be happy to keep possession, 2269 01:52:11,960 --> 01:52:15,280 Speaker 6: wait for the right opportunity. When the Sounders do maintain 2270 01:52:15,320 --> 01:52:18,000 Speaker 6: the ball, they're gonna have to do something special with it. 2271 01:52:18,960 --> 01:52:20,719 Speaker 11: New York have it on this near side the left 2272 01:52:20,800 --> 01:52:22,960 Speaker 11: with o'tool. Let's get you the lineups coming out for 2273 01:52:23,000 --> 01:52:26,320 Speaker 11: the second half of Brian SCHMIDTZ and no changes for Brian. 2274 01:52:26,920 --> 01:52:30,679 Speaker 11: It's frying goal about four of Kilaney, Alex Jackson, Knuho 2275 01:52:30,920 --> 01:52:34,960 Speaker 11: JP alongside Danny Labor middle of the park. JP actually 2276 01:52:35,000 --> 01:52:38,080 Speaker 11: hazes Ferrara, Albert Ruzneck and then Paul Rothrock came on 2277 01:52:38,200 --> 01:52:40,559 Speaker 11: for that injured Della Vaga in that first half. He'll 2278 01:52:40,560 --> 01:52:43,040 Speaker 11: be on the left hand side, and then Jordan Morris 2279 01:52:43,240 --> 01:52:45,680 Speaker 11: up front and it comes Farrera tries to whip it 2280 01:52:45,760 --> 01:52:47,599 Speaker 11: a little heavy on the pass. The idea was right, 2281 01:52:47,720 --> 01:52:50,280 Speaker 11: try to find the space beeen goalkeeper and back line 2282 01:52:50,280 --> 01:52:53,320 Speaker 11: for Jordan Morris. Freeze comes out the US men's national 2283 01:52:53,400 --> 01:52:57,840 Speaker 11: team player and just rolls it out to Hark for 2284 01:52:58,000 --> 01:53:02,080 Speaker 11: New York City see has it slow pressure from the 2285 01:53:02,120 --> 01:53:04,560 Speaker 11: sound as they retreat. That line of confrontation will just 2286 01:53:04,600 --> 01:53:07,519 Speaker 11: sit about ten yards inside. They're attacking half of the 2287 01:53:07,600 --> 01:53:11,639 Speaker 11: field as Rosnek now just steps forward and now Rothrock goes. 2288 01:53:11,680 --> 01:53:14,679 Speaker 11: As brad Evans mentioned towards the end of that first half, 2289 01:53:15,200 --> 01:53:18,040 Speaker 11: Rothrock hasn't been his usual self in terms of busy play. 2290 01:53:18,120 --> 01:53:21,000 Speaker 11: But here comes New York. Now, good defending by Alex 2291 01:53:21,040 --> 01:53:23,720 Speaker 11: has done that a few times in that first half 2292 01:53:23,840 --> 01:53:26,800 Speaker 11: and first tests of the second half. A couple of 2293 01:53:26,880 --> 01:53:29,840 Speaker 11: minutes in comes across, takes it off the toe of Martinez, 2294 01:53:30,280 --> 01:53:31,000 Speaker 11: goes over the end line. 2295 01:53:31,080 --> 01:53:33,200 Speaker 6: Yeah, this little throw ball here just a little dummy, 2296 01:53:33,439 --> 01:53:35,679 Speaker 6: and here comes Alex roll Don Martinez such a quick 2297 01:53:35,680 --> 01:53:38,640 Speaker 6: and crafty player. But Alex Roldan I think, sticks his 2298 01:53:38,720 --> 01:53:43,120 Speaker 6: foot out and then gets a boot from from Martinez. 2299 01:53:43,160 --> 01:53:45,920 Speaker 6: There comes up limping a little bit lame. It seems 2300 01:53:45,920 --> 01:53:47,840 Speaker 6: to be fine. Yep, saw one right there for Alex. 2301 01:53:47,880 --> 01:53:49,479 Speaker 6: But it's gonna be a corner kick on this left 2302 01:53:49,479 --> 01:53:50,400 Speaker 6: hand side for New York. 2303 01:53:50,439 --> 01:53:53,720 Speaker 11: It's gonna be an inswinger by Morales. And it goes 2304 01:53:53,880 --> 01:53:57,479 Speaker 11: middle of the six, headed away and then headed further 2305 01:53:57,560 --> 01:54:00,479 Speaker 11: forward by Albert. Eleven men behind the ball for the sound. 2306 01:54:00,520 --> 01:54:02,800 Speaker 11: His ball gets clipped in towards the backstick big frame 2307 01:54:02,840 --> 01:54:04,920 Speaker 11: of Jackson ring and goes up wins the ball, but 2308 01:54:05,040 --> 01:54:06,800 Speaker 11: it just pops up in the end and picked up 2309 01:54:07,200 --> 01:54:09,920 Speaker 11: by Gray, whipping him with his right foot. There's Jackson again, 2310 01:54:10,040 --> 01:54:13,040 Speaker 11: this time stoops low heads the ball away. Sounders step 2311 01:54:13,080 --> 01:54:14,640 Speaker 11: out to the top of their eighteen now drop in 2312 01:54:14,720 --> 01:54:17,439 Speaker 11: a couple of yards as Morales has it flat ball 2313 01:54:17,560 --> 01:54:21,120 Speaker 11: into the middle of the eighteen yard boxes. Sound as 2314 01:54:21,240 --> 01:54:24,800 Speaker 11: players asking for a foul on Kilaney. Good step by 2315 01:54:25,439 --> 01:54:28,960 Speaker 11: JP coming across the help sounds number six throwing in 2316 01:54:29,040 --> 01:54:31,480 Speaker 11: quickly by New York and then whipping again with Moralesay's 2317 01:54:31,800 --> 01:54:35,520 Speaker 11: big frame of Perea goes across Alex headed clear by 2318 01:54:35,720 --> 01:54:38,360 Speaker 11: Jackson far side and here comes Wrath. It now just 2319 01:54:38,440 --> 01:54:40,640 Speaker 11: hustles and Harry's and the referee gives a foul and 2320 01:54:40,720 --> 01:54:43,560 Speaker 11: that's gonna frustrate rath Rock, but maybe the right decision, 2321 01:54:43,600 --> 01:54:44,280 Speaker 11: free kicking New York. 2322 01:54:44,440 --> 01:54:46,600 Speaker 6: Yeah, well done. And that's the Paul Rothrock you want 2323 01:54:46,680 --> 01:54:49,160 Speaker 6: right fighting for every ball, just trying to get enough 2324 01:54:49,600 --> 01:54:52,760 Speaker 6: out of Gray to strip that ball. And then off 2325 01:54:52,800 --> 01:54:55,720 Speaker 6: he goes. And Gray does everything he should do. Feel 2326 01:54:55,720 --> 01:54:58,440 Speaker 6: the pressure fall down. But in that moment you risk 2327 01:54:58,560 --> 01:55:00,920 Speaker 6: if you just go down and it's not a that's 2328 01:55:00,920 --> 01:55:02,960 Speaker 6: a quick counter attack. The sounder is under some pressure 2329 01:55:03,000 --> 01:55:06,000 Speaker 6: here six or seven crosses into the box from New 2330 01:55:06,120 --> 01:55:08,880 Speaker 6: York City. I think they know the situation that they're in. 2331 01:55:09,920 --> 01:55:11,760 Speaker 11: It's going to be a New York free kick now 2332 01:55:11,800 --> 01:55:13,920 Speaker 11: on the right hand side, forty yards or so from 2333 01:55:13,960 --> 01:55:16,960 Speaker 11: Sefron Fries goal whipped in and headed away by Jackson 2334 01:55:17,080 --> 01:55:20,120 Speaker 11: Reagan or six foot five of him going up and 2335 01:55:20,200 --> 01:55:21,880 Speaker 11: just flicking the ball away. It's going to come out 2336 01:55:21,920 --> 01:55:24,800 Speaker 11: in these tight confines of city field, narrower than the 2337 01:55:24,880 --> 01:55:28,360 Speaker 11: normal playing surface the Sounders maybe used to certainly at 2338 01:55:28,400 --> 01:55:34,120 Speaker 11: home home of the New York Mets. Of course, we 2339 01:55:34,240 --> 01:55:37,720 Speaker 11: had a high flying start to their season this year, 2340 01:55:37,840 --> 01:55:41,120 Speaker 11: but petered out very quickly in the last month or 2341 01:55:41,160 --> 01:55:45,760 Speaker 11: so of the season. Didn't make the playoffs. Or gets 2342 01:55:45,800 --> 01:55:49,080 Speaker 11: headed up and away by Sounders and then slashed away 2343 01:55:49,160 --> 01:55:52,000 Speaker 11: by Jackson, clipped forward by Rice and that good play 2344 01:55:52,200 --> 01:55:54,480 Speaker 11: Feria's in Jordan Morris making a run through the middle, 2345 01:55:54,520 --> 01:55:59,960 Speaker 11: trap well by Gustavo. As Farrera comes away from pressure. 2346 01:56:00,200 --> 01:56:02,720 Speaker 11: Martins now at for again right hand side, got some 2347 01:56:02,800 --> 01:56:05,600 Speaker 11: time in space long the six, it goes and Jordan 2348 01:56:05,640 --> 01:56:07,960 Speaker 11: made a quick run towards an air post. Martin's right 2349 01:56:08,000 --> 01:56:10,080 Speaker 11: spot goes over the end line corner kick Sounders. 2350 01:56:10,360 --> 01:56:12,240 Speaker 6: Just when you think Faria takes too big of a 2351 01:56:12,360 --> 01:56:14,160 Speaker 6: touch there, he does all the right things, just pulls 2352 01:56:14,200 --> 01:56:16,880 Speaker 6: it back with the bottom of his foot and then 2353 01:56:16,880 --> 01:56:19,280 Speaker 6: it's just a little It's good possession play, right, that's 2354 01:56:19,320 --> 01:56:21,160 Speaker 6: what we asked for earlier. Stays in the right spot. 2355 01:56:21,240 --> 01:56:23,320 Speaker 6: New York City defenders are trying to get back into 2356 01:56:23,400 --> 01:56:25,640 Speaker 6: position that they've been pulled out of, and it's the 2357 01:56:25,720 --> 01:56:29,120 Speaker 6: right play. Ball slipped along the six and a last 2358 01:56:29,160 --> 01:56:31,200 Speaker 6: ditch effort from New York City. 2359 01:56:31,880 --> 01:56:34,080 Speaker 11: Can the Sounders find their third goal from a corner 2360 01:56:34,160 --> 01:56:36,600 Speaker 11: kick of this season. Ball on the right hand side, 2361 01:56:36,720 --> 01:56:39,880 Speaker 11: outswinger by Rusnak, goes in heady clear top of the 2362 01:56:39,920 --> 01:56:42,480 Speaker 11: boxes Klan. He plays it quickly to Farrera, a good 2363 01:56:42,520 --> 01:56:45,760 Speaker 11: position and there's Morrison inside the six yard box. They 2364 01:56:45,800 --> 01:56:48,560 Speaker 11: says the refereee flight goes up. He didn't hit the target. 2365 01:56:48,640 --> 01:56:51,160 Speaker 11: He sliced it wide. It's going to be a free 2366 01:56:51,240 --> 01:56:54,720 Speaker 11: kick just a few yards out from Freezer's goal. But 2367 01:56:55,280 --> 01:56:57,920 Speaker 11: really good chance for Mario's good spot offside. 2368 01:56:58,080 --> 01:56:59,440 Speaker 6: Yeah, if we could watch that one again, I think 2369 01:56:59,480 --> 01:57:02,840 Speaker 6: it's Hayesou that's actually coming from an offside position. Could 2370 01:57:02,840 --> 01:57:04,840 Speaker 6: have been Jordan, but in the right spot. And that's 2371 01:57:04,880 --> 01:57:06,920 Speaker 6: what we've been asking for the sounders twice twice now 2372 01:57:08,080 --> 01:57:10,160 Speaker 6: in about a minute and a half, two good services 2373 01:57:10,920 --> 01:57:13,800 Speaker 6: starting to make end roads and getting forward. The play 2374 01:57:13,880 --> 01:57:16,480 Speaker 6: that led up to that Haesus Ferrara breakaway was fantastic, 2375 01:57:16,520 --> 01:57:19,520 Speaker 6: a little header into space and Jordan just pops free 2376 01:57:19,560 --> 01:57:22,360 Speaker 6: in a clipped in ball in behind from Albert Rusnak 2377 01:57:23,320 --> 01:57:24,880 Speaker 6: to release. And those are the three that you want 2378 01:57:24,960 --> 01:57:26,360 Speaker 6: syncing up and playing well together. 2379 01:57:27,280 --> 01:57:29,280 Speaker 11: Right hand's side for New York, they whip it in, 2380 01:57:29,360 --> 01:57:33,600 Speaker 11: it's clipped away by Roldan, then picked up now middle 2381 01:57:33,600 --> 01:57:36,400 Speaker 11: of the field by JP just clips it forward for 2382 01:57:36,560 --> 01:57:41,120 Speaker 11: rare challenges but loses out left hand side. Good strike 2383 01:57:41,240 --> 01:57:43,680 Speaker 11: but slices it over. It's gonna be a goal kick. Sounders. 2384 01:57:43,760 --> 01:57:47,040 Speaker 11: Let's get you the lineup for New York. It's freezing gold. 2385 01:57:47,040 --> 01:57:48,440 Speaker 11: We think it's gonna be a back three again for 2386 01:57:48,520 --> 01:57:52,640 Speaker 11: this second half. Gustavo Martinez and Huck. Then it's Gray Morales, 2387 01:57:52,840 --> 01:57:57,200 Speaker 11: Perea and O'Toole and then Wolf Fernandez Macau and then 2388 01:57:57,240 --> 01:58:00,600 Speaker 11: the seventeen gold man up front is Martinez. It's been 2389 01:58:00,680 --> 01:58:04,080 Speaker 11: somewhat quite so far marshaled well by roll Down and 2390 01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:08,640 Speaker 11: Jackson Reagan. Play by the Sounders under pressure right hand 2391 01:58:08,720 --> 01:58:12,680 Speaker 11: side so confident passed by Danny Labor, it clips it 2392 01:58:12,720 --> 01:58:15,240 Speaker 11: towards Jackson Reagan inside his eighteen yard box from this 2393 01:58:15,320 --> 01:58:17,520 Speaker 11: near side the right now it finds it to Knew 2394 01:58:17,520 --> 01:58:19,680 Speaker 11: who far side the left back inside it goes to 2395 01:58:20,280 --> 01:58:23,360 Speaker 11: JP just inside the Sounders half for the field now 2396 01:58:23,440 --> 01:58:27,280 Speaker 11: as they enter the attacking half, slowly but surely. Nice 2397 01:58:27,320 --> 01:58:30,600 Speaker 11: patient play from the Sounders. New York City do need 2398 01:58:30,680 --> 01:58:32,600 Speaker 11: to try and get a result. We'll see if they 2399 01:58:32,600 --> 01:58:34,280 Speaker 11: press a little bit higher. As the ball tries to 2400 01:58:34,880 --> 01:58:37,320 Speaker 11: be played through by Rosnack, cut out well by Gray 2401 01:58:37,440 --> 01:58:40,880 Speaker 11: and then given up by New York. In transition, Sounders 2402 01:58:40,920 --> 01:58:42,680 Speaker 11: pick it up inside their attacking half of the field 2403 01:58:42,760 --> 01:58:48,560 Speaker 11: again with JP just foot on the ball, slowing things down. 2404 01:58:48,720 --> 01:58:51,280 Speaker 11: Knew who makes a run inside, giving space for Rothrock 2405 01:58:51,600 --> 01:58:55,839 Speaker 11: on the far side the left substitute for Della veaguin 2406 01:58:55,920 --> 01:58:57,960 Speaker 11: that first half, as he mentioned in the about twenty 2407 01:58:58,160 --> 01:59:01,800 Speaker 11: minute mark. Unfortunately, Dela Vega went down. Looked like some 2408 01:59:01,920 --> 01:59:05,600 Speaker 11: kneecap injury, just a manner in which we saw it. 2409 01:59:05,640 --> 01:59:07,560 Speaker 11: As it's headed forward by Roth or there's new who 2410 01:59:07,600 --> 01:59:10,600 Speaker 11: putting pressure on Martin's I think he was off side 2411 01:59:10,880 --> 01:59:13,640 Speaker 11: as the referee flag goes up, it was foreign territory 2412 01:59:13,680 --> 01:59:16,520 Speaker 11: to new Who is the furthest man forward free kick 2413 01:59:16,560 --> 01:59:16,960 Speaker 11: New York. 2414 01:59:16,920 --> 01:59:19,040 Speaker 6: Neil Neil, Yeah, well done by the Sounders. And it 2415 01:59:19,120 --> 01:59:21,080 Speaker 6: almost looks the way that the Sounders are building they're 2416 01:59:21,080 --> 01:59:23,720 Speaker 6: almost waiting for a set play. They must recognize something 2417 01:59:24,160 --> 01:59:27,480 Speaker 6: in New York City where no midfielder is taking unnecessary 2418 01:59:27,560 --> 01:59:29,520 Speaker 6: touches is what I like. They're trying to get the 2419 01:59:29,560 --> 01:59:31,840 Speaker 6: ball in a position to where the two number six 2420 01:59:31,960 --> 01:59:34,120 Speaker 6: is JP and Leva are facing forward, and then they're 2421 01:59:34,120 --> 01:59:38,480 Speaker 6: building out of out of that zone. It's like Alex 2422 01:59:38,560 --> 01:59:41,960 Speaker 6: Roldon is coming off in JP a little double sub 2423 01:59:42,080 --> 01:59:44,600 Speaker 6: right now. May have picked up something on that one 2424 01:59:44,680 --> 01:59:47,200 Speaker 6: that from Martinez where he came across. 2425 01:59:46,920 --> 01:59:49,240 Speaker 11: In the first second half. Yeah, so rolled on off 2426 01:59:49,360 --> 01:59:53,560 Speaker 11: j Jonathan bell on. It would likely shift Jackson to 2427 01:59:53,680 --> 01:59:57,680 Speaker 11: the right of the two centre backs, and then Jonathan 2428 01:59:57,760 --> 02:00:00,600 Speaker 11: to the left side, and then Snyder Brunew we got 2429 02:00:00,720 --> 02:00:04,080 Speaker 11: to start just a couple of weeks ago. He'll play 2430 02:00:04,080 --> 02:00:06,760 Speaker 11: alongside Danny Labor. JP goes off. He's played his minutes 2431 02:00:06,800 --> 02:00:10,920 Speaker 11: fifty five minutes goold run out for JP. Another good 2432 02:00:11,040 --> 02:00:13,120 Speaker 11: shift for the experienced Brazilian. 2433 02:00:14,200 --> 02:00:15,640 Speaker 6: I think this will could be a good pitch for 2434 02:00:16,000 --> 02:00:18,640 Speaker 6: Snyder to step into. It's on grass, It's gonna play fast. 2435 02:00:18,720 --> 02:00:20,520 Speaker 6: He's a physical player. I think he can use his 2436 02:00:20,600 --> 02:00:22,560 Speaker 6: prowess today. He'll cover a lot of ground in there. 2437 02:00:23,400 --> 02:00:25,320 Speaker 6: We thought JP might be able to push a little 2438 02:00:25,320 --> 02:00:28,440 Speaker 6: bit longer, but maybe a little bit more athleticism in 2439 02:00:28,480 --> 02:00:30,160 Speaker 6: the middle of the park is what Schmetzer needs in 2440 02:00:30,200 --> 02:00:32,600 Speaker 6: this second half to get us out of that pressure. 2441 02:00:33,240 --> 02:00:36,120 Speaker 6: Moving forward, we'll get in. 2442 02:00:36,240 --> 02:00:38,600 Speaker 11: It's good step by Jonathan bel for his first introduction, 2443 02:00:39,440 --> 02:00:42,080 Speaker 11: first meaningful play in this second half as he just 2444 02:00:42,080 --> 02:00:44,120 Speaker 11: stepped on the field. Of course, Snyder Brunelle with a 2445 02:00:44,200 --> 02:00:49,120 Speaker 11: U nineteen youth national team in the international window. He 2446 02:00:49,360 --> 02:00:52,160 Speaker 11: was gone, one of the eleven players missing last week. 2447 02:00:52,240 --> 02:00:56,880 Speaker 11: He was a last minute add to that squad. I 2448 02:00:57,000 --> 02:00:59,120 Speaker 11: mean a good time for Snighter to get some meaningful 2449 02:00:59,160 --> 02:01:02,400 Speaker 11: minutes against our with so many players missing. But JVP 2450 02:01:02,480 --> 02:01:04,200 Speaker 11: and Danny Labor did a great job and then they 2451 02:01:04,400 --> 02:01:07,560 Speaker 11: earned their starting spot again today. As Obed and Christian 2452 02:01:07,960 --> 02:01:10,280 Speaker 11: are at home just resting up. As Snyder Brunell just 2453 02:01:10,320 --> 02:01:14,040 Speaker 11: flicks it around the corner. Good play by Snyder finds Russneck. 2454 02:01:16,560 --> 02:01:19,120 Speaker 11: There is Snyder two goals in his campaign so far 2455 02:01:20,440 --> 02:01:24,600 Speaker 11: New York Sorry, Ellie Galaxy and Kansas City were his 2456 02:01:24,680 --> 02:01:29,040 Speaker 11: two goals. Got his first introduction as a first team 2457 02:01:29,040 --> 02:01:33,160 Speaker 11: player against Cruisers all and that seven Niel hammering in 2458 02:01:33,280 --> 02:01:35,720 Speaker 11: League's Cup, of course, with the most memorable goal of 2459 02:01:37,040 --> 02:01:39,200 Speaker 11: this season many seasons with Dela Vega's goal. But hit 2460 02:01:39,200 --> 02:01:41,120 Speaker 11: come the Sounders. Now ball rolled in towards the end 2461 02:01:41,200 --> 02:01:43,920 Speaker 11: line too that man Snyder Brunell picks it up left 2462 02:01:43,960 --> 02:01:46,200 Speaker 11: corner of the eighteen yard box back to Russneck has 2463 02:01:46,240 --> 02:01:48,840 Speaker 11: some time and space goes back to Danny Labor makes 2464 02:01:48,880 --> 02:01:51,320 Speaker 11: the angle Knew who making a run now down the 2465 02:01:51,400 --> 02:01:53,520 Speaker 11: left hand side. Ball goes into Snyder just flicks it 2466 02:01:53,600 --> 02:01:56,800 Speaker 11: over the top and then cushion header by Gray back 2467 02:01:56,800 --> 02:02:00,400 Speaker 11: to the goalkeeper. His freeze just walks out with the 2468 02:02:00,440 --> 02:02:03,520 Speaker 11: ball in his hands. Sound is unable to unlock. There's 2469 02:02:03,560 --> 02:02:05,600 Speaker 11: been somewhat of a stubborn back line so far from 2470 02:02:05,640 --> 02:02:07,640 Speaker 11: New York City, and it looks. 2471 02:02:07,400 --> 02:02:09,040 Speaker 6: Like Snyder's going to come in and push a little 2472 02:02:09,040 --> 02:02:12,240 Speaker 6: bit higher and now usually it's JP sitting in that spot, 2473 02:02:12,320 --> 02:02:14,760 Speaker 6: so Danny Leber and Schneider Bern now are going to 2474 02:02:14,760 --> 02:02:16,840 Speaker 6: have to be really careful and one of them has 2475 02:02:16,920 --> 02:02:18,600 Speaker 6: to sit in front of the back four at all 2476 02:02:18,720 --> 02:02:21,080 Speaker 6: times for the Sounders to be successful in this one, 2477 02:02:21,080 --> 02:02:23,440 Speaker 6: because New York will punish you three in the midfield. 2478 02:02:23,800 --> 02:02:25,640 Speaker 6: They're going to fly forward knowing that they have to 2479 02:02:25,720 --> 02:02:28,200 Speaker 6: get and they have to score two goals at least 2480 02:02:29,360 --> 02:02:32,400 Speaker 6: to really seal this one, and the Sounder is looking 2481 02:02:32,440 --> 02:02:33,680 Speaker 6: to play to zero. So it's a bit of a 2482 02:02:33,760 --> 02:02:36,200 Speaker 6: chess match right now as the Sounders build out of 2483 02:02:36,240 --> 02:02:38,800 Speaker 6: the back looking to get a goal, but also not 2484 02:02:39,000 --> 02:02:41,360 Speaker 6: leaving too much in front of the back four. 2485 02:02:42,160 --> 02:02:46,320 Speaker 11: Yep, Sounders just ticking behind a fifty eight percent possession 2486 02:02:46,440 --> 02:02:49,400 Speaker 11: right now. Just the two shots from the Sounders haven't 2487 02:02:49,440 --> 02:02:53,440 Speaker 11: tested Matt Freeze yet seven shots for New York with 2488 02:02:53,560 --> 02:02:55,240 Speaker 11: just a one on target so far that was left 2489 02:02:55,280 --> 02:02:57,880 Speaker 11: handed saved by Fry. Here comes the Sounder right hand side. 2490 02:02:57,920 --> 02:03:01,160 Speaker 11: Klany strikes it low is looking to angle the ball 2491 02:03:01,240 --> 02:03:04,000 Speaker 11: to the far post, didn't quite get the connection he 2492 02:03:04,080 --> 02:03:07,160 Speaker 11: wanted or the direction goes into the arms of Freeze 2493 02:03:07,200 --> 02:03:08,200 Speaker 11: for a comfortable safe. 2494 02:03:08,120 --> 02:03:10,040 Speaker 6: Yeah, well done. From the Sounders. This ball is trying 2495 02:03:10,080 --> 02:03:12,240 Speaker 6: to be slipped in and it's Hesus Ferrara pops out 2496 02:03:12,240 --> 02:03:14,120 Speaker 6: to but look here, it takes a little deflection I think, 2497 02:03:14,200 --> 02:03:16,960 Speaker 6: and sends it back at Matt Freeze. I think it 2498 02:03:17,080 --> 02:03:18,960 Speaker 6: was destined for the corner there and at least draw 2499 02:03:19,000 --> 02:03:21,960 Speaker 6: a little save. And I think it's the right decision 2500 02:03:22,000 --> 02:03:23,880 Speaker 6: in that moment inside the box. Take a shot, make 2501 02:03:24,040 --> 02:03:27,240 Speaker 6: make Matt Freeze just be tested a little bit in 2502 02:03:27,360 --> 02:03:29,600 Speaker 6: that moment, the. 2503 02:03:29,680 --> 02:03:33,120 Speaker 11: Snody Brunelle, good patience, good confidence from the young man 2504 02:03:33,200 --> 02:03:35,680 Speaker 11: as he gets the ball off Danny Lavor. 2505 02:03:35,920 --> 02:03:37,880 Speaker 6: A lot of room for the Sounders to play in 2506 02:03:37,920 --> 02:03:40,000 Speaker 6: midfield today. A bit of a surprise. You don't often 2507 02:03:40,080 --> 02:03:43,120 Speaker 6: see this for the Sounders. Every midfielder that gets the 2508 02:03:43,200 --> 02:03:47,800 Speaker 6: ball happy to turn and face forward, no real pressure. 2509 02:03:47,800 --> 02:03:50,320 Speaker 11: Especially on such tight field. It's the sound as if 2510 02:03:51,400 --> 02:03:53,400 Speaker 11: manas you other's technical players on the field. A little 2511 02:03:53,400 --> 02:03:55,400 Speaker 11: flick around the corner by Rowthorpe pulled down. But here 2512 02:03:55,400 --> 02:03:57,960 Speaker 11: comes snidy Brunell advantage given left corner of the box 2513 02:03:58,800 --> 02:04:01,560 Speaker 11: finds Danny Laver. Now Snyder again rolls at square, gets 2514 02:04:01,560 --> 02:04:04,480 Speaker 11: pulled down. I think by moralest game keeps going down 2515 02:04:04,520 --> 02:04:06,280 Speaker 11: the line. He goes Afare on this right hand side 2516 02:04:06,280 --> 02:04:07,640 Speaker 11: a couple of yards from the end line, clips it 2517 02:04:07,640 --> 02:04:10,840 Speaker 11: towards the back stick and it bounces through to Russneck. 2518 02:04:11,560 --> 02:04:14,920 Speaker 11: Gray closes down as does Fernanda's Macau. Sounders still have 2519 02:04:15,040 --> 02:04:18,360 Speaker 11: it twenty five yards from gold left hand side of 2520 02:04:18,480 --> 02:04:21,280 Speaker 11: center top of the boxes. Labor can he strike it 2521 02:04:21,360 --> 02:04:26,440 Speaker 11: good block by Perea as Fernand's Macaw and Rothrocks scrap 2522 02:04:26,520 --> 02:04:29,280 Speaker 11: for it on the far side, and there's New York 2523 02:04:29,320 --> 02:04:31,400 Speaker 11: City that come away with it right corner of the box. 2524 02:04:32,360 --> 02:04:34,680 Speaker 11: Sounder attacking the goal to our right in their green shirts, 2525 02:04:34,720 --> 02:04:37,120 Speaker 11: blue shorts, White Sox win the ball on the left 2526 02:04:37,120 --> 02:04:40,680 Speaker 11: hand side, quickly into Snyder. Brunell now goes to Danny 2527 02:04:40,760 --> 02:04:43,120 Speaker 11: Laver to the right is Kline making his run, just 2528 02:04:43,200 --> 02:04:45,040 Speaker 11: flicks it around the corner to Jordan. They'll give and 2529 02:04:45,160 --> 02:04:48,280 Speaker 11: go to Laver and just too many bodies wasn't able 2530 02:04:48,360 --> 02:04:50,440 Speaker 11: to get through, but picked up by Jonathan Bell, rolls 2531 02:04:50,440 --> 02:04:52,280 Speaker 11: a nice ball out to Rothrock, who tries to turn 2532 02:04:52,320 --> 02:04:55,720 Speaker 11: around the corner. Referee eventually waits for the advantage. Nothing 2533 02:04:55,800 --> 02:04:58,640 Speaker 11: there it gets a free kick does Rothrock on the 2534 02:04:58,800 --> 02:05:04,000 Speaker 11: experienced morale whispers of whiskers of gray hair through his bed, 2535 02:05:04,080 --> 02:05:07,400 Speaker 11: and his hair shows the experience of the argentinium. But 2536 02:05:07,400 --> 02:05:08,840 Speaker 11: it's gonna be a free kick for the sound isn't 2537 02:05:08,840 --> 02:05:14,840 Speaker 11: a chance to deliver some good delivery from Russnick from 2538 02:05:14,880 --> 02:05:15,760 Speaker 11: their left hand site. 2539 02:05:15,840 --> 02:05:17,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, good build up from the sounders for the past 2540 02:05:17,880 --> 02:05:19,960 Speaker 6: three or four minutes, really putting New York City under 2541 02:05:20,000 --> 02:05:22,120 Speaker 6: the gun. And on that one he sues breaks free 2542 02:05:22,160 --> 02:05:24,120 Speaker 6: and you see Jordan Morris motioning for that ball to 2543 02:05:24,200 --> 02:05:26,520 Speaker 6: be lifted. Jordan, your responsibility is to get to the 2544 02:05:26,600 --> 02:05:29,680 Speaker 6: near post. If he sus decides to lift it, that's 2545 02:05:29,720 --> 02:05:30,360 Speaker 6: not your job. 2546 02:05:31,680 --> 02:05:33,480 Speaker 11: By Rusnak. Good delivery headed on a. 2547 02:05:36,000 --> 02:05:37,120 Speaker 21: There's Jordan Morris. 2548 02:05:37,480 --> 02:05:40,400 Speaker 11: That's the goal he was looking for. It came from 2549 02:05:40,440 --> 02:05:44,120 Speaker 11: a free kick. Good delivery by russneck a glancing ahead 2550 02:05:44,160 --> 02:05:47,040 Speaker 11: of by Morris, and the sounders lead one nail. 2551 02:05:47,480 --> 02:05:49,920 Speaker 6: That's all in the service. And when you have good service, 2552 02:05:50,040 --> 02:05:53,680 Speaker 6: you give yourself the best opportunity. And the sounder's done 2553 02:05:53,760 --> 02:05:56,720 Speaker 6: so well in the past four or five minutes. Continuous pressure. 2554 02:05:57,080 --> 02:06:00,280 Speaker 6: Jordan just unlucky on a couple plays before that and 2555 02:06:00,440 --> 02:06:02,920 Speaker 6: throughout this one. But that's a persistence of a good striker. 2556 02:06:02,960 --> 02:06:05,280 Speaker 6: When you get your opportunity, you put it in the 2557 02:06:05,360 --> 02:06:08,360 Speaker 6: back of the net. And for Jordan Morris, what a 2558 02:06:08,440 --> 02:06:11,280 Speaker 6: momentous goal that is for him at this point, ball 2559 02:06:11,360 --> 02:06:14,480 Speaker 6: swung in here, does everything right, starts offside, gets himself 2560 02:06:14,520 --> 02:06:17,840 Speaker 6: onside and I think it's Perea actually that drops a 2561 02:06:17,880 --> 02:06:19,880 Speaker 6: little bit early there and Jordan just gets a flick 2562 02:06:19,920 --> 02:06:21,760 Speaker 6: on that one, puts it far posting into the back 2563 02:06:21,800 --> 02:06:24,560 Speaker 6: of the net. Just a little glancing header and that's 2564 02:06:24,560 --> 02:06:27,240 Speaker 6: all you need. And ay, when that ball's coming in, 2565 02:06:27,360 --> 02:06:29,400 Speaker 6: you're taught. You turn your head, you look at your 2566 02:06:29,440 --> 02:06:31,440 Speaker 6: target and oftentimes the ball is going to go exactly 2567 02:06:31,480 --> 02:06:33,400 Speaker 6: where you want it to. He alects to go far 2568 02:06:33,520 --> 02:06:36,600 Speaker 6: posts there and Matt Freeze nothing he can do about 2569 02:06:36,640 --> 02:06:40,080 Speaker 6: that one except make a dive for the cameras. 2570 02:06:40,280 --> 02:06:42,360 Speaker 11: Yet fifth gold in the season for Jordan Morris got 2571 02:06:42,520 --> 02:06:45,280 Speaker 11: his second assist of the year and is thirty eighth 2572 02:06:45,440 --> 02:06:47,600 Speaker 11: of his career. That got him into fourth all time 2573 02:06:47,680 --> 02:06:52,000 Speaker 11: and assists as a Sounder, and of course he bypassed 2574 02:06:52,080 --> 02:06:55,080 Speaker 11: Ruy Diaz for the top goalscorer all time in the 2575 02:06:55,200 --> 02:06:58,520 Speaker 11: MLS era for the Sounders, so he ticks towards that 2576 02:06:58,680 --> 02:07:02,320 Speaker 11: ninety goal mart Now, how big is that one for Jordan? Yeah, 2577 02:07:02,400 --> 02:07:04,240 Speaker 11: going too the playoffs and we we talked about it 2578 02:07:04,280 --> 02:07:06,480 Speaker 11: at the beginning of the game. Jackson Pete talked about 2579 02:07:06,480 --> 02:07:08,520 Speaker 11: it as well. He just needed a goal. And sometimes 2580 02:07:08,600 --> 02:07:10,000 Speaker 11: it's those goals we'd have to think about it. 2581 02:07:10,040 --> 02:07:12,920 Speaker 6: He just react, yeah and yeah. You get a penalty 2582 02:07:13,000 --> 02:07:14,920 Speaker 6: kick last week and it's the complete opposite. You have 2583 02:07:15,000 --> 02:07:17,640 Speaker 6: to think the entire time. So for Jordan, yeah, good 2584 02:07:17,640 --> 02:07:19,320 Speaker 6: to get them one off his back. And you saw 2585 02:07:19,360 --> 02:07:21,640 Speaker 6: it in Austin. He was so close on a number 2586 02:07:21,640 --> 02:07:24,360 Speaker 6: of occasions, and that seems like forever ago now. And 2587 02:07:24,400 --> 02:07:26,360 Speaker 6: then you go into practice and I'm sure the finishing 2588 02:07:26,480 --> 02:07:28,440 Speaker 6: is good, you're feeling good, but there's nothing like scoring 2589 02:07:28,480 --> 02:07:30,640 Speaker 6: in a game, getting that one off your back. You'd 2590 02:07:30,680 --> 02:07:33,120 Speaker 6: kind of just take a deep breath and you get 2591 02:07:33,200 --> 02:07:35,600 Speaker 6: back into the rhythm of Oh, I remember what that 2592 02:07:35,680 --> 02:07:36,480 Speaker 6: feels like. Yep. 2593 02:07:36,640 --> 02:07:40,920 Speaker 11: Sixty second minute here at City Field Sports Radio nine 2594 02:07:40,920 --> 02:07:43,040 Speaker 11: to fifty kgs. The ball goes in behind cut out 2595 02:07:43,040 --> 02:07:46,440 Speaker 11: well by Gray. Sounders won New York City nil on 2596 02:07:46,520 --> 02:07:49,520 Speaker 11: Decision Day, final game of the regular season for all 2597 02:07:49,640 --> 02:07:53,120 Speaker 11: teams in MLS. This score Day is presented by Toyota, 2598 02:07:54,280 --> 02:07:56,280 Speaker 11: and I'm sure Brian was looking at his watch and 2599 02:07:56,360 --> 02:07:58,800 Speaker 11: looking down his bench. When do you introduce Danny Massofski. 2600 02:07:58,840 --> 02:08:00,560 Speaker 11: He's your top goal scorer this year, of course, with 2601 02:08:00,680 --> 02:08:04,720 Speaker 11: fourteen goals in the regular season campaign, sixteen goals in all, 2602 02:08:05,840 --> 02:08:09,280 Speaker 11: but Jordan Morris. Now, I'm assuming for Brian he's gonna 2603 02:08:09,320 --> 02:08:11,960 Speaker 11: let Jordan run out a little bit longer here. I'm 2604 02:08:12,000 --> 02:08:14,280 Speaker 11: sure there was a tough decision that Brian would have 2605 02:08:14,280 --> 02:08:16,960 Speaker 11: had to make at some point. Is you want Jordan 2606 02:08:17,040 --> 02:08:19,520 Speaker 11: to get a goal, Brad, but you've also got your 2607 02:08:19,600 --> 02:08:21,200 Speaker 11: leading goal scorer on the bench and you got a 2608 02:08:21,280 --> 02:08:22,040 Speaker 11: nail note game. 2609 02:08:22,320 --> 02:08:24,720 Speaker 6: Yeah. Look, those are the decisions for the manager, not 2610 02:08:24,840 --> 02:08:26,800 Speaker 6: for us. We can speculate all we want. We don't 2611 02:08:26,800 --> 02:08:29,320 Speaker 6: watch training every single day. But I think it's the 2612 02:08:29,360 --> 02:08:31,640 Speaker 6: fact that Jordan's been here for so long. He's your DP. 2613 02:08:31,840 --> 02:08:34,720 Speaker 6: You have to get him going before the playoffs. And 2614 02:08:34,840 --> 02:08:38,920 Speaker 6: to make a little sliding tackle there. From Snyder, it. 2615 02:08:39,040 --> 02:08:41,840 Speaker 26: Was resonate maybe yellow card. We'll just take a look 2616 02:08:41,880 --> 02:08:44,920 Speaker 26: and see if he gets one. Is but you'll always 2617 02:08:44,960 --> 02:08:47,920 Speaker 26: have these questions right about your striker. That's the main 2618 02:08:48,040 --> 02:08:50,800 Speaker 26: job is you could connect fifty five passes in a game, 2619 02:08:50,840 --> 02:08:51,960 Speaker 26: but if you don't put the ball in the back 2620 02:08:51,960 --> 02:08:53,920 Speaker 26: of the net, it doesn't matter. When we had Clint Dempsey, 2621 02:08:55,320 --> 02:08:56,920 Speaker 26: there was a game that I watched from up top. 2622 02:08:56,960 --> 02:08:59,480 Speaker 26: I was injured and I asked Robbie to just what 2623 02:08:59,560 --> 02:09:02,240 Speaker 26: were his that's that game? Did he sprint at all? No, 2624 02:09:02,520 --> 02:09:06,760 Speaker 26: not one high intensity sprint during the game, but he 2625 02:09:06,840 --> 02:09:08,800 Speaker 26: had two goals and we won two to one at home. 2626 02:09:09,160 --> 02:09:10,320 Speaker 6: That's a striker. Yeah. 2627 02:09:10,600 --> 02:09:13,360 Speaker 11: I mean Harland of course, is the player that is 2628 02:09:13,440 --> 02:09:15,720 Speaker 11: probably demanded to do a bit more from pet but 2629 02:09:17,200 --> 02:09:19,600 Speaker 11: continues to score goal after goal, game after game, and 2630 02:09:19,680 --> 02:09:25,400 Speaker 11: he may touch the ball five times. It's fascinating fowards 2631 02:09:25,440 --> 02:09:27,720 Speaker 11: if they can be streaky at times, and Jordan is 2632 02:09:27,760 --> 02:09:29,280 Speaker 11: one of those players when he gets on a streak. 2633 02:09:29,360 --> 02:09:32,160 Speaker 11: Danny Musoski showed it this year with five goals in 2634 02:09:32,280 --> 02:09:37,600 Speaker 11: a row, but match the record for a sounder. But 2635 02:09:37,720 --> 02:09:39,480 Speaker 11: if Jordan can get the goal today and he can 2636 02:09:39,560 --> 02:09:43,280 Speaker 11: get on a streak, perfect time to find it with 2637 02:09:43,400 --> 02:09:44,960 Speaker 11: the playoffs looming next week, and I. 2638 02:09:45,000 --> 02:09:47,280 Speaker 6: Think especially away from home, you show that you can 2639 02:09:47,320 --> 02:09:49,440 Speaker 6: do it away from home, the group can potentially tonight 2640 02:09:49,520 --> 02:09:52,080 Speaker 6: win away from home and that'll be big when you're 2641 02:09:52,080 --> 02:09:55,720 Speaker 6: playing away home, away in a tough place in Minnesota 2642 02:09:55,760 --> 02:09:58,080 Speaker 6: against what will look just like this, a back three, 2643 02:09:58,160 --> 02:10:02,720 Speaker 6: back five for the majority of it. And it comes 2644 02:10:02,760 --> 02:10:07,120 Speaker 6: down to set pieces. Set pieces will win you championships. 2645 02:10:07,160 --> 02:10:10,000 Speaker 6: And I think every coach throughout time has said that, Yes, 2646 02:10:10,080 --> 02:10:11,920 Speaker 6: Farrare a top of the box aeront passed by New York. 2647 02:10:11,920 --> 02:10:13,120 Speaker 6: He's able to turn away from pressure. 2648 02:10:13,160 --> 02:10:15,760 Speaker 11: Bull goes in. Here comes Jordan inside the eighteen yard bods, 2649 02:10:15,760 --> 02:10:18,960 Speaker 11: he's a drop his shoulder rust that has it strike blocked. Oh, 2650 02:10:19,080 --> 02:10:20,720 Speaker 11: Jordan had a chance. He could have just whipped his 2651 02:10:20,880 --> 02:10:23,480 Speaker 11: right foot around it to find that far post. Didn't 2652 02:10:23,520 --> 02:10:23,840 Speaker 11: take it. 2653 02:10:24,280 --> 02:10:26,600 Speaker 6: It was perfect, It was laid up, perfect for a 2654 02:10:26,680 --> 02:10:29,800 Speaker 6: right footed strike, inside foot. Let it go. He's just 2655 02:10:29,800 --> 02:10:32,280 Speaker 6: scored a goal four minutes ago. Go ahead, take your chance, 2656 02:10:32,800 --> 02:10:34,400 Speaker 6: or swing it on to your left foot and drive 2657 02:10:34,440 --> 02:10:39,000 Speaker 6: it at the keeper's face, whatever it may be. That's 2658 02:10:39,040 --> 02:10:41,000 Speaker 6: a tough one for me because Jordan's gotta be that, 2659 02:10:41,280 --> 02:10:44,240 Speaker 6: gotta be Hungry's aching to Austin right. He's got the 2660 02:10:44,280 --> 02:10:46,560 Speaker 6: opportunity in front of goal. Alexa lay it off twice 2661 02:10:46,600 --> 02:10:48,880 Speaker 6: in that game. But if you're at number nine, you're 2662 02:10:48,880 --> 02:10:50,520 Speaker 6: looking to get on the score sheet. You gotta take 2663 02:10:50,560 --> 02:10:52,800 Speaker 6: those shots. No one's gonna tell you you should have 2664 02:10:52,840 --> 02:10:53,520 Speaker 6: done any different. 2665 02:10:54,240 --> 02:10:56,760 Speaker 11: Boy gets clipped him by a labor clear somewhat by 2666 02:10:56,840 --> 02:10:59,440 Speaker 11: New York but not well, finds Brunell top of the box. 2667 02:10:59,480 --> 02:11:01,960 Speaker 11: Could quick by. Brunelle tries to rig away from pressure 2668 02:11:02,440 --> 02:11:05,360 Speaker 11: picked up by New York City and hark as he 2669 02:11:05,680 --> 02:11:09,640 Speaker 11: steers the ball forward a vailables o tool down this 2670 02:11:09,800 --> 02:11:13,200 Speaker 11: left hand side here comes It's a little drop of 2671 02:11:13,240 --> 02:11:18,320 Speaker 11: the shoulder of good play by Kallanney. It's going to 2672 02:11:18,360 --> 02:11:20,040 Speaker 11: be a cornerkick though for New York because they try 2673 02:11:20,040 --> 02:11:22,400 Speaker 11: to respond quickly. Here Sounds leading one goal to nil, 2674 02:11:23,400 --> 02:11:27,520 Speaker 11: and tonight's match is presented by the Western Washington Toyota Dealers. 2675 02:11:27,680 --> 02:11:33,720 Speaker 11: Sounders have to defend this corner kick now on this 2676 02:11:33,880 --> 02:11:35,800 Speaker 11: left on their left hand side. It be a right 2677 02:11:35,880 --> 02:11:38,760 Speaker 11: foot in swinger and it goes towards the penalty spot, 2678 02:11:38,800 --> 02:11:44,280 Speaker 11: headed forward by Martin's right down the gut of Fryer 2679 02:11:44,360 --> 02:11:48,640 Speaker 11: is able to collect it comfortably in the end and 2680 02:11:48,760 --> 02:11:49,520 Speaker 11: Sounders will build. 2681 02:11:49,800 --> 02:11:51,200 Speaker 6: It's a good header at the end of the day, 2682 02:11:51,280 --> 02:11:53,680 Speaker 6: but if you're twelve fifteen yards out, it's going to 2683 02:11:53,720 --> 02:11:56,920 Speaker 6: be really tough to beat any keeper in this league, 2684 02:11:58,360 --> 02:12:00,480 Speaker 6: and all sometimes you have to do. Hey, Susan does well, 2685 02:12:00,720 --> 02:12:03,240 Speaker 6: just get a body on a player and make it difficult. 2686 02:12:03,280 --> 02:12:04,280 Speaker 6: Doesn't get a clear header. 2687 02:12:06,320 --> 02:12:09,960 Speaker 11: Well, Nashville is now to too, Nashville Miami, and that 2688 02:12:10,040 --> 02:12:13,360 Speaker 11: shakes things up again in the standings. Cincinnati leading two 2689 02:12:13,400 --> 02:12:17,440 Speaker 11: goals to nail Charlotte needed leading two goals in against Philadelphia. 2690 02:12:17,480 --> 02:12:22,240 Speaker 11: So Charlotte have solidified for sure their home field advantage. 2691 02:12:22,800 --> 02:12:24,640 Speaker 11: And now it's about where did New York City sit 2692 02:12:24,760 --> 02:12:26,960 Speaker 11: the trailing? The sound is one nil right now here 2693 02:12:27,040 --> 02:12:30,120 Speaker 11: at home, and then we'll see how things shake out 2694 02:12:30,200 --> 02:12:37,080 Speaker 11: above them, if it'll be Miami or potentially Charlotte. It 2695 02:12:37,120 --> 02:12:39,720 Speaker 11: comes to New York just top of their attacking eighteen 2696 02:12:39,800 --> 02:12:41,960 Speaker 11: yard box sounders holding the top of their box, just 2697 02:12:42,080 --> 02:12:44,440 Speaker 11: takes a strike, slight deflection, maybe just took the sting 2698 02:12:44,520 --> 02:12:46,320 Speaker 11: out of it all the way through to Fry is 2699 02:12:46,360 --> 02:12:48,800 Speaker 11: able to gather it comfortably. It's gonna be classed as 2700 02:12:48,800 --> 02:12:53,360 Speaker 11: another save for Steph and Fry, but easy pickings for Steph. 2701 02:12:53,920 --> 02:12:55,560 Speaker 11: The ball gets flicked around the corner by a rose 2702 02:12:55,600 --> 02:12:57,400 Speaker 11: like good play ball down the middle. Now Jordan Morris 2703 02:12:57,480 --> 02:13:00,600 Speaker 11: is available by Rothrock and it goes it just plays 2704 02:13:00,640 --> 02:13:03,360 Speaker 11: it sideways, not forward. Just has to hold up his 2705 02:13:03,480 --> 02:13:05,960 Speaker 11: run now does Jordan. It was two verses one for 2706 02:13:06,080 --> 02:13:09,040 Speaker 11: the Sounders. As the Green Shirts move forward now in 2707 02:13:09,160 --> 02:13:12,440 Speaker 11: support Snider Brunell has it just slows things down, rolls 2708 02:13:12,440 --> 02:13:15,040 Speaker 11: it to Jackson. Reagan playing on the right of the four, 2709 02:13:15,800 --> 02:13:18,120 Speaker 11: now should the right. The two center backs lepping run 2710 02:13:18,160 --> 02:13:20,680 Speaker 11: by Carlanie Rothrock now playing on this right hand side, 2711 02:13:22,640 --> 02:13:24,400 Speaker 11: all goes back to Colonie. He just comes off that 2712 02:13:24,920 --> 02:13:28,000 Speaker 11: near touchline. As we're looking at it, sound attacking the 2713 02:13:28,040 --> 02:13:31,400 Speaker 11: goal to our right step in by Fernandez. Macau picks 2714 02:13:31,440 --> 02:13:35,320 Speaker 11: the ball up with his left foot and then wriggles 2715 02:13:35,400 --> 02:13:40,440 Speaker 11: it out to one of his midfield teammates left hand 2716 02:13:40,480 --> 02:13:45,040 Speaker 11: side and available and support is oh Tool off the outside. 2717 02:13:45,080 --> 02:13:45,800 Speaker 6: He comes. 2718 02:13:47,040 --> 02:13:49,680 Speaker 11: Skip forward as Martinez step in by Jordan Morris, Advan 2719 02:13:49,840 --> 02:13:51,160 Speaker 11: is given strike right down the middle. 2720 02:13:51,200 --> 02:13:51,360 Speaker 19: Again. 2721 02:13:51,400 --> 02:13:54,000 Speaker 11: It's going to be a comfortable save by Stephan Frye. 2722 02:13:54,160 --> 02:13:57,480 Speaker 6: Yeah, both teams just playing and soccer right now, Everything 2723 02:13:57,520 --> 02:13:59,600 Speaker 6: in the midfield has been so wide open every time 2724 02:13:59,640 --> 02:14:02,240 Speaker 6: he gets the ball. Yes, he finds amazing pockets on 2725 02:14:02,320 --> 02:14:05,520 Speaker 6: the field, but then he releases Paul Rothrock. You have 2726 02:14:05,640 --> 02:14:07,240 Speaker 6: to know that Jordan Morris is there and you got 2727 02:14:07,360 --> 02:14:08,800 Speaker 6: to do everything you can do to put that ball 2728 02:14:08,880 --> 02:14:10,440 Speaker 6: in front of him. Bring it to your left foot 2729 02:14:10,480 --> 02:14:12,040 Speaker 6: so that when you play it to your left you've 2730 02:14:12,080 --> 02:14:14,880 Speaker 6: got a little inside rotation so the ball goes in 2731 02:14:14,920 --> 02:14:18,840 Speaker 6: front of him. Just a little tiny things tactically that 2732 02:14:18,920 --> 02:14:22,240 Speaker 6: are gonna set up Jordan much much better. And then 2733 02:14:22,280 --> 02:14:24,320 Speaker 6: on the flip side you lose possession high up the 2734 02:14:24,320 --> 02:14:27,360 Speaker 6: field and within four passes New York City gets an 2735 02:14:27,360 --> 02:14:29,880 Speaker 6: opportunity once again on goal, and you can feel New 2736 02:14:29,960 --> 02:14:31,760 Speaker 6: York City under the gun here for a little bit. 2737 02:14:32,440 --> 02:14:34,800 Speaker 6: They're gonna start pushing forward here, but that will open 2738 02:14:34,920 --> 02:14:36,920 Speaker 6: up things for the Sounders. I think that's what they want, 2739 02:14:37,560 --> 02:14:39,160 Speaker 6: and this one is for New York to be open. 2740 02:14:40,680 --> 02:14:42,480 Speaker 6: I think Bruce Knack and Ferrara a gonna find more 2741 02:14:42,520 --> 02:14:43,720 Speaker 6: of the ball and more joy yep. 2742 02:14:43,800 --> 02:14:47,240 Speaker 11: New York have now shifted to a full back system 2743 02:14:47,280 --> 02:14:52,360 Speaker 11: with two center backs. As Gustava goes off, William Fernandez 2744 02:14:52,440 --> 02:14:54,840 Speaker 11: comes on the number eleven, Johnny Shore number thirty two 2745 02:14:55,040 --> 02:14:57,520 Speaker 11: on oh hated number twenty six on as well. But 2746 02:14:57,560 --> 02:14:59,320 Speaker 11: here it comes for Er now inside the etu of 2747 02:14:59,400 --> 02:15:02,280 Speaker 11: Boox and there was a hopeful shot in the end 2748 02:15:02,360 --> 02:15:04,800 Speaker 11: EASi League saved by freeze. But the game is really 2749 02:15:04,880 --> 02:15:08,440 Speaker 11: opening up now. Can the Sounders just get get control. 2750 02:15:08,520 --> 02:15:10,520 Speaker 11: They are leading one nil and it's New York has 2751 02:15:10,560 --> 02:15:13,120 Speaker 11: got the impetus and move forward and try to find 2752 02:15:13,120 --> 02:15:15,920 Speaker 11: a goal as they try and solidify a spot far 2753 02:15:16,080 --> 02:15:20,400 Speaker 11: up the Eastern Conference standings. I think their goal now 2754 02:15:20,520 --> 02:15:23,600 Speaker 11: is to avoid Miami at all costs. And we'll just 2755 02:15:23,680 --> 02:15:25,720 Speaker 11: see and keep you updated on some of the results 2756 02:15:25,760 --> 02:15:29,640 Speaker 11: as they come in. They tie things up down in Nashville. 2757 02:15:29,880 --> 02:15:34,480 Speaker 11: Nashville is another team that had the opportunity to sidestep 2758 02:15:35,720 --> 02:15:38,840 Speaker 11: Charlotte and New York because they were sitting in sixth spot. 2759 02:15:39,800 --> 02:15:41,720 Speaker 11: And Miami now is leading three goals to two, so 2760 02:15:41,840 --> 02:15:45,880 Speaker 11: that elevates Miami up. We'll see what happens below. We'll 2761 02:15:45,960 --> 02:15:49,600 Speaker 11: keep things will, things will keep shaking out. And about 2762 02:15:49,640 --> 02:15:51,720 Speaker 11: these decision days, it's a great thing by MLS. They 2763 02:15:51,760 --> 02:15:54,680 Speaker 11: really to make things exciting, especially when there's those clumps 2764 02:15:54,680 --> 02:15:56,280 Speaker 11: of teams who are fighting for the same spot. 2765 02:15:56,480 --> 02:15:58,720 Speaker 6: Yeah, it's a fun time to watch soccer. It's one 2766 02:15:58,720 --> 02:16:00,120 Speaker 6: of those days where you just kind of have to 2767 02:16:00,200 --> 02:16:02,200 Speaker 6: turn the TV on and catch as much as you 2768 02:16:02,760 --> 02:16:04,600 Speaker 6: as you can and following along in the standing because 2769 02:16:04,640 --> 02:16:07,480 Speaker 6: it's an ever evolving thing and now there's so many 2770 02:16:07,520 --> 02:16:09,360 Speaker 6: team It didn't used to be this way when I 2771 02:16:09,480 --> 02:16:10,400 Speaker 6: was in the league early on. 2772 02:16:11,840 --> 02:16:13,840 Speaker 11: It comes rof try to wriggle free of. 2773 02:16:15,400 --> 02:16:17,800 Speaker 6: And now that there's so many teams, it just gives 2774 02:16:17,800 --> 02:16:20,480 Speaker 6: them more of an opportunity for a playoff, a playoff 2775 02:16:20,560 --> 02:16:23,640 Speaker 6: day basically where it's it's do or die for a 2776 02:16:23,720 --> 02:16:24,480 Speaker 6: lot of teams today. 2777 02:16:25,840 --> 02:16:29,800 Speaker 11: So Miami as it stands right now, third position, Charlotte fourth, 2778 02:16:30,400 --> 02:16:32,760 Speaker 11: they're leading two goals to l. New York City will 2779 02:16:32,760 --> 02:16:35,200 Speaker 11: stay in fifth because Nashville now will slide back down 2780 02:16:35,240 --> 02:16:38,720 Speaker 11: to sixth after conceding two on the on the bounce 2781 02:16:38,800 --> 02:16:40,760 Speaker 11: right there, they were leading two to one going into 2782 02:16:40,800 --> 02:16:44,800 Speaker 11: the second half, and then New York City will play 2783 02:16:44,959 --> 02:16:50,720 Speaker 11: Charlotte as it stands fourth versus fifth Sounders. Can they 2784 02:16:50,800 --> 02:16:54,520 Speaker 11: continue to play through here and finish off the season 2785 02:16:54,640 --> 02:16:57,600 Speaker 11: decision day with a win and potentially know the clean 2786 02:16:57,680 --> 02:17:00,600 Speaker 11: sheet two back to back too, clean sheets back to 2787 02:17:00,720 --> 02:17:06,760 Speaker 11: back against Portland and RSL, And before that, he was 2788 02:17:06,840 --> 02:17:10,760 Speaker 11: a toye against Vancouver, so one a draw in two 2789 02:17:10,879 --> 02:17:16,240 Speaker 11: wins in the last three games. Good performances, good results 2790 02:17:16,280 --> 02:17:19,840 Speaker 11: going into playoffs, and another difficult place to play of course, 2791 02:17:19,879 --> 02:17:22,879 Speaker 11: with New York City needing a win, just like RSL 2792 02:17:22,959 --> 02:17:25,040 Speaker 11: needed last week. Because I think Labor goes down and 2793 02:17:25,080 --> 02:17:27,200 Speaker 11: the referee just waits for the advantage. Jordan Morris had 2794 02:17:27,200 --> 02:17:29,280 Speaker 11: a chance, but it's going to get pulled back and 2795 02:17:29,320 --> 02:17:30,680 Speaker 11: it's going to be a free kick for the Sounders 2796 02:17:30,720 --> 02:17:32,400 Speaker 11: and it's going to kill a few more valuable seconds 2797 02:17:32,440 --> 02:17:34,320 Speaker 11: off the clock as we get here in the seventy 2798 02:17:34,400 --> 02:17:36,800 Speaker 11: third minute with Sounders leading one goal to nil. 2799 02:17:36,920 --> 02:17:39,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, well done by Danny Labor once again. And this 2800 02:17:39,520 --> 02:17:41,920 Speaker 6: is what we were talking about. Can he put in 2801 02:17:42,320 --> 02:17:44,720 Speaker 6: a full ninety minute performance and tonight he's going to 2802 02:17:44,760 --> 02:17:47,240 Speaker 6: be asked to do that. And I think he's shown 2803 02:17:47,320 --> 02:17:50,160 Speaker 6: really well tonight, finding the pockets, his creativity, the passes 2804 02:17:50,200 --> 02:17:52,440 Speaker 6: that he sees. Like we said, he's just learned so 2805 02:17:52,680 --> 02:17:55,520 Speaker 6: much and he's finally got his opportunity to be on 2806 02:17:55,600 --> 02:17:57,760 Speaker 6: the pitch and be that lynch pin in the midfield. 2807 02:17:59,400 --> 02:18:01,840 Speaker 6: Unfortunately for the Sounders, Chris benzil Let's out one play 2808 02:18:01,879 --> 02:18:05,320 Speaker 6: out this time. It makes the right decision and calls 2809 02:18:05,360 --> 02:18:06,640 Speaker 6: it backs. 2810 02:18:06,720 --> 02:18:08,920 Speaker 11: Jonathan Bell just wriguling away for pressure. Knew who just 2811 02:18:08,959 --> 02:18:11,000 Speaker 11: wriggled away from pressure on that left hand side. Bench 2812 02:18:11,240 --> 02:18:14,200 Speaker 11: goes back to Jonathan Bell. It's a free kick, so 2813 02:18:14,360 --> 02:18:16,160 Speaker 11: afre we just wait again, just give a couple of 2814 02:18:16,200 --> 02:18:18,400 Speaker 11: seconds to see that Sounders could get the advantage. They 2815 02:18:18,440 --> 02:18:21,400 Speaker 11: have to go back, so no advantage given. But I 2816 02:18:21,720 --> 02:18:23,400 Speaker 11: think maybe the advantage should have been given because this 2817 02:18:23,480 --> 02:18:25,880 Speaker 11: is a more difficult spot in some ways the Sounds 2818 02:18:25,920 --> 02:18:28,920 Speaker 11: have broken out of pressure, but news gonna have it. 2819 02:18:29,240 --> 02:18:31,000 Speaker 6: I think we're yet to figure out this New York 2820 02:18:31,040 --> 02:18:34,440 Speaker 6: City team, and they are too. It's how they want 2821 02:18:34,480 --> 02:18:36,600 Speaker 6: to play. Sometimes they're mixing it up between long balls. 2822 02:18:36,600 --> 02:18:38,879 Speaker 6: They're trying to play through the midfield, but every time 2823 02:18:38,920 --> 02:18:41,040 Speaker 6: a ball goes into a striker a little bit disjointed. Yes, 2824 02:18:41,080 --> 02:18:44,240 Speaker 6: they've tested Stephan Fry a couple of times, but it's 2825 02:18:44,240 --> 02:18:45,920 Speaker 6: only been in chaos. It hasn't really been from the 2826 02:18:45,959 --> 02:18:48,520 Speaker 6: build up for New York City. Nothing beautified tonight for them. 2827 02:18:49,959 --> 02:18:52,520 Speaker 6: I think the Sounders have a real opportunity to pile 2828 02:18:52,600 --> 02:18:55,000 Speaker 6: it on here. For twenty ish minutes left. 2829 02:18:54,879 --> 02:18:57,520 Speaker 11: You need to execute this final plays, trying to get 2830 02:18:57,520 --> 02:18:59,880 Speaker 11: that second goal and give themselves some breathing room. Here 2831 02:19:00,080 --> 02:19:01,960 Speaker 11: is it get into the final fifteen minutes or so 2832 02:19:02,280 --> 02:19:05,640 Speaker 11: at City Field Sports Radio nine to fifty KGr wherever 2833 02:19:05,680 --> 02:19:08,440 Speaker 11: you're joining us, Thank you for listening in when it's 2834 02:19:08,440 --> 02:19:11,560 Speaker 11: SYNCD up to Apple at home in the car Sounders 2835 02:19:11,640 --> 02:19:14,160 Speaker 11: on decision Day, final game of the regular season. We'll 2836 02:19:14,160 --> 02:19:16,280 Speaker 11: wait to see what happens tonight on who the opponent 2837 02:19:16,280 --> 02:19:18,320 Speaker 11: will be in the first round proper Sounders have already 2838 02:19:18,360 --> 02:19:22,920 Speaker 11: tild the deified fifth position in the Western Conference standings. 2839 02:19:23,000 --> 02:19:26,120 Speaker 11: This is an East versus West matchup. The rest of 2840 02:19:26,440 --> 02:19:28,520 Speaker 11: the fourteen teams in the Western Conference will play at 2841 02:19:28,520 --> 02:19:31,680 Speaker 11: six pm Pacific, and the Sounders once they make their 2842 02:19:31,720 --> 02:19:33,840 Speaker 11: flight home. By the time they get off their plane, 2843 02:19:33,840 --> 02:19:36,440 Speaker 11: they'll know exactly who they'll be playing. And it could 2844 02:19:36,480 --> 02:19:38,480 Speaker 11: be Minnesota as it stands right now, but it also 2845 02:19:38,520 --> 02:19:41,000 Speaker 11: could be LAFC. It could be San Diego, just depends 2846 02:19:41,080 --> 02:19:44,440 Speaker 11: on how results go. So lots to play for in 2847 02:19:44,600 --> 02:19:47,480 Speaker 11: terms of what's happening in the top four. They all 2848 02:19:47,520 --> 02:19:50,640 Speaker 11: get home field advantages. Just about who do they face 2849 02:19:51,040 --> 02:19:54,720 Speaker 11: in that best of three series? And then there's four 2850 02:19:54,800 --> 02:20:01,840 Speaker 11: teams vying four their playoff lives in RSL Dallas, San Jose, Colorado, 2851 02:20:02,760 --> 02:20:07,000 Speaker 11: San Jose, hoping for some kind of bit of magic. 2852 02:20:07,080 --> 02:20:09,800 Speaker 11: But here comes Rothrock. Can he produce something here on 2853 02:20:09,879 --> 02:20:12,560 Speaker 11: that left hand side? And Gray comes away, there is 2854 02:20:12,640 --> 02:20:17,080 Speaker 11: he Harry's and hustles as you'd expect, eventually goes back 2855 02:20:17,160 --> 02:20:20,000 Speaker 11: and New York will build again with Perea. 2856 02:20:20,200 --> 02:20:22,320 Speaker 6: What a great bout of possession for the Sounders though, 2857 02:20:22,360 --> 02:20:24,840 Speaker 6: And you can see Schmeetzer's up on his sideline barking orders, 2858 02:20:24,879 --> 02:20:27,160 Speaker 6: and I think it's it's a little bit of posturing. 2859 02:20:27,200 --> 02:20:28,880 Speaker 6: He wants more out of his team. He knows that 2860 02:20:28,920 --> 02:20:31,119 Speaker 6: the playoffs are coming up and it's gonna take more 2861 02:20:31,200 --> 02:20:33,960 Speaker 6: than tonight's effort. It's gonna have to be even ramped 2862 02:20:34,040 --> 02:20:35,680 Speaker 6: up even more. And I think he's trying to drive 2863 02:20:35,760 --> 02:20:38,080 Speaker 6: that home to his guys. And he must smell an 2864 02:20:38,120 --> 02:20:41,080 Speaker 6: opportunity too, because every time Snyder Danny Leva get a 2865 02:20:41,080 --> 02:20:43,800 Speaker 6: ball in the midfield, they're clear to move forward. Now 2866 02:20:43,879 --> 02:20:46,440 Speaker 6: Schmittz is saying, we've got to produce something. We're going 2867 02:20:46,520 --> 02:20:48,080 Speaker 6: to maintain. This possession. 2868 02:20:49,640 --> 02:20:51,920 Speaker 11: Comes great down the right hand side, it goes towards 2869 02:20:51,959 --> 02:20:54,280 Speaker 11: the end line, flicks it in top of the six 2870 02:20:54,400 --> 02:20:57,000 Speaker 11: yard box. Good block by Jackson Reagan. I think it 2871 02:20:57,120 --> 02:21:00,920 Speaker 11: was Martinez who managed to turn quickly into quick snap shot, 2872 02:21:01,000 --> 02:21:03,080 Speaker 11: but it was blocked by Jackson. Reagan has had a 2873 02:21:03,120 --> 02:21:07,240 Speaker 11: really good performance so far, anchoring the back four right place, 2874 02:21:07,360 --> 02:21:09,440 Speaker 11: right time on a number of different occasions. Just got 2875 02:21:09,480 --> 02:21:12,119 Speaker 11: his right foot in front of the shot. 2876 02:21:12,760 --> 02:21:12,920 Speaker 1: Yeah. 2877 02:21:12,959 --> 02:21:14,960 Speaker 6: You see Paul rothrock there just with four or five 2878 02:21:15,040 --> 02:21:17,800 Speaker 6: yards off off of Gray and it allows him just 2879 02:21:18,160 --> 02:21:19,800 Speaker 6: enough time on the ball to slip it in behind 2880 02:21:20,200 --> 02:21:21,119 Speaker 6: and create some chaos. 2881 02:21:21,360 --> 02:21:24,440 Speaker 11: Ball whipped in and there's Jackson again, powerful header away 2882 02:21:24,600 --> 02:21:27,440 Speaker 11: clears his lines. Whipped back in by Fernandez Macou towards 2883 02:21:27,480 --> 02:21:30,240 Speaker 11: the back stick. It's going to bounce through Jordan Morris 2884 02:21:30,280 --> 02:21:33,480 Speaker 11: closing the ball down back. He goes to Gray, tries 2885 02:21:33,520 --> 02:21:35,640 Speaker 11: a roller towards the end line, trapped by Danny Labor. 2886 02:21:35,680 --> 02:21:40,200 Speaker 11: Good play by Danny. He just tracked the run of 2887 02:21:40,360 --> 02:21:45,000 Speaker 11: Johnny Shore towards the end line. Managed to see it out. 2888 02:21:45,040 --> 02:21:47,480 Speaker 11: But it's gonna be another corner kick now. Fernande's the 2889 02:21:47,600 --> 02:21:49,480 Speaker 11: sub number eleven is going to take you with his 2890 02:21:49,600 --> 02:21:52,360 Speaker 11: left foot in swinger from New York's right hand side. 2891 02:21:52,360 --> 02:21:54,360 Speaker 11: They're attacking the goal to our left. Ball comes in 2892 02:21:55,160 --> 02:21:58,480 Speaker 11: good powerful header again by Jackson Reagan. Gray has it. 2893 02:21:58,480 --> 02:22:01,039 Speaker 11: He's going to strike it. And that's exactly what you want, 2894 02:22:01,160 --> 02:22:03,520 Speaker 11: is your right back striking the ball. It slice over 2895 02:22:03,600 --> 02:22:06,760 Speaker 11: the top, more of a clearance in a shot goal kick, 2896 02:22:07,040 --> 02:22:08,000 Speaker 11: sound as lead one nil. 2897 02:22:08,160 --> 02:22:10,840 Speaker 6: Yeah, if I'm a New York City striker Martinez, whoever 2898 02:22:10,840 --> 02:22:12,760 Speaker 6: it is, I'm in sense that Grey gets the ball 2899 02:22:12,800 --> 02:22:15,200 Speaker 6: there outside the box and has a go. When we're 2900 02:22:15,200 --> 02:22:17,440 Speaker 6: all sitting in the box. We've got them under pressure 2901 02:22:18,000 --> 02:22:19,840 Speaker 6: and that's the easiest pass. It's just to clip that 2902 02:22:19,959 --> 02:22:22,959 Speaker 6: one at the far post. And it's decision making at 2903 02:22:22,959 --> 02:22:24,400 Speaker 6: the end of the day. And as a youngster you 2904 02:22:24,480 --> 02:22:26,640 Speaker 6: got to figure it out at some point and do 2905 02:22:26,720 --> 02:22:28,880 Speaker 6: what's best for your team, not what's best for you. 2906 02:22:30,920 --> 02:22:33,600 Speaker 11: So that was Gray's final contribution to the game, and 2907 02:22:33,680 --> 02:22:36,640 Speaker 11: not a great one. So he gets pulled off. Ellenich 2908 02:22:36,959 --> 02:22:40,160 Speaker 11: goes on. Sounds probably sad to see Grey go after 2909 02:22:40,280 --> 02:22:42,080 Speaker 11: a couple of those shots have gone over the top. 2910 02:22:43,720 --> 02:22:48,560 Speaker 11: But Ellenitch comes on number thirty five, Pray goes off 2911 02:22:48,600 --> 02:22:50,520 Speaker 11: as well. We'll just get a confirmation for that sub 2912 02:22:50,600 --> 02:22:54,480 Speaker 11: as well. Sounders will build out of the back down 2913 02:22:54,520 --> 02:22:58,120 Speaker 11: the left hand side. It goes towards Rothrock, who's had 2914 02:22:58,200 --> 02:22:59,920 Speaker 11: some spurts, but it feels like it just has a 2915 02:23:00,080 --> 02:23:02,840 Speaker 11: found the game so far. It feels like it's a 2916 02:23:02,840 --> 02:23:04,840 Speaker 11: perfect game for him. Whether the space will open up 2917 02:23:04,879 --> 02:23:07,080 Speaker 11: for him and in just his desire to get up 2918 02:23:07,120 --> 02:23:09,520 Speaker 11: and down the field will hopefully benefit him and the 2919 02:23:09,600 --> 02:23:14,160 Speaker 11: Sounders getting some chances. And it comes Ferrara plays the 2920 02:23:14,200 --> 02:23:16,920 Speaker 11: ball in wide open through the middle. Now is Danny 2921 02:23:17,000 --> 02:23:20,600 Speaker 11: Labor just crosses into the attacking half of the field 2922 02:23:20,600 --> 02:23:22,560 Speaker 11: and nothing. Ford has to go back new who turns 2923 02:23:22,600 --> 02:23:25,200 Speaker 11: away from pressure. Johnny Show putting pressure on for the 2924 02:23:25,280 --> 02:23:29,480 Speaker 11: Light Blues of New York City as they're looking to 2925 02:23:29,520 --> 02:23:33,480 Speaker 11: try and solify their spot in fifth position, trying to 2926 02:23:33,480 --> 02:23:36,560 Speaker 11: avoid Miami, who sit third. Right now, as the ball 2927 02:23:36,640 --> 02:23:39,320 Speaker 11: goes into Jordan Morris out to the right hand side, 2928 02:23:39,360 --> 02:23:41,080 Speaker 11: it comes to Kolin. He's got to whip it across 2929 02:23:41,120 --> 02:23:43,760 Speaker 11: the six and it's headed clear by Martin's picked up 2930 02:23:43,760 --> 02:23:46,320 Speaker 11: by Fernandez, top of the box, closed down by Brunell. 2931 02:23:49,120 --> 02:23:52,800 Speaker 11: It's all about to Illinich on the right hand side 2932 02:23:52,879 --> 02:23:55,480 Speaker 11: is going to hook it into the middle, picked up 2933 02:23:55,520 --> 02:23:59,080 Speaker 11: well by Martinez and then turned away from pressure. Brilliantly 2934 02:23:59,160 --> 02:23:59,920 Speaker 11: by Jackson Rae. 2935 02:24:00,520 --> 02:24:02,760 Speaker 6: That's so good from Jackson Reagan. He's got three New 2936 02:24:02,840 --> 02:24:05,080 Speaker 6: York City attackers around him and just uses his pure 2937 02:24:05,160 --> 02:24:07,600 Speaker 6: strength to get out of that situation. 2938 02:24:10,480 --> 02:24:13,280 Speaker 11: So it's Carrizo number twenty nine. We'll confirm that who 2939 02:24:13,440 --> 02:24:16,880 Speaker 11: came on for Perea in the middle of the park. 2940 02:24:18,400 --> 02:24:21,000 Speaker 11: Get here in the seventy ninth minute, just over ten 2941 02:24:21,080 --> 02:24:24,280 Speaker 11: minutes ago of the ninety in this final game of 2942 02:24:24,320 --> 02:24:27,280 Speaker 11: the regular season at City Field, New York Sports Radio 2943 02:24:27,320 --> 02:24:30,680 Speaker 11: nine to fifty am, Sounders leading one goal to nil 2944 02:24:31,920 --> 02:24:35,560 Speaker 11: against the Eastern Conference team of New York City FC, 2945 02:24:35,720 --> 02:24:38,400 Speaker 11: of course part of City Football Group, Manchester City being 2946 02:24:38,440 --> 02:24:41,560 Speaker 11: one of them, and the score date is presented by 2947 02:24:42,120 --> 02:24:46,080 Speaker 11: Provident Swedish and the Sounders to get another clean sheet, 2948 02:24:46,080 --> 02:24:48,280 Speaker 11: a third clean sheet in three games. Wouldn't that be 2949 02:24:48,320 --> 02:24:50,760 Speaker 11: a great way to enter the playoffs. It's been a 2950 02:24:50,800 --> 02:24:54,440 Speaker 11: bit of a rocky season relative to past two seasons. Defensively, 2951 02:24:55,120 --> 02:24:58,080 Speaker 11: here they come with Jackson rig Lot'll flick around the corner. 2952 02:24:58,160 --> 02:25:01,640 Speaker 11: Jackson's really enjoying his football tries. Verse passed by Russneck, 2953 02:25:01,840 --> 02:25:05,560 Speaker 11: stepped in well by Labor right side of the eighteen 2954 02:25:05,640 --> 02:25:09,959 Speaker 11: yard boxes. Kline comes across, just waits a little bit 2955 02:25:10,040 --> 02:25:11,800 Speaker 11: too long on the balls over the top now and 2956 02:25:11,879 --> 02:25:15,640 Speaker 11: the speed of new Jonathan Bell just couldn't find the 2957 02:25:15,680 --> 02:25:18,640 Speaker 11: ball back to Stephan Frye and it goes over the 2958 02:25:18,760 --> 02:25:20,879 Speaker 11: end line. Martinez is looking for the space in behind. 2959 02:25:20,959 --> 02:25:23,640 Speaker 11: Good defending. Just couldn't connect the pass back to fry 2960 02:25:23,720 --> 02:25:24,680 Speaker 11: It's gonna be a corner kick. 2961 02:25:24,800 --> 02:25:27,400 Speaker 6: Yeah, good defending from Jonathan Bell. Their last ditch. You 2962 02:25:27,760 --> 02:25:30,440 Speaker 6: are the last man. Jackson Reagan had vacated his space 2963 02:25:30,480 --> 02:25:32,400 Speaker 6: as playing as a right center back, and the three 2964 02:25:33,120 --> 02:25:35,040 Speaker 6: plays the ball out wide and Klannie gets caught with 2965 02:25:35,120 --> 02:25:37,000 Speaker 6: the ball and it's a quick transition. New York City 2966 02:25:37,040 --> 02:25:39,280 Speaker 6: does a good job of recognizing the Jackson's pulled out 2967 02:25:39,280 --> 02:25:43,360 Speaker 6: of space. Jonathan Bell the great recovery run. 2968 02:25:43,680 --> 02:25:45,480 Speaker 11: Yep, all the subs are now for New York City. 2969 02:25:45,520 --> 02:25:47,959 Speaker 11: They've made that moves. Ball comes in. Sounders were Jackson 2970 02:25:48,040 --> 02:25:50,680 Speaker 11: Reagan again? How many heads is z one inside the 2971 02:25:50,760 --> 02:25:52,840 Speaker 11: eighteen yard box today? It's got be in double digits 2972 02:25:52,879 --> 02:25:56,360 Speaker 11: for sure, and he comes Fernandos mrcouich has to drill it. 2973 02:25:56,440 --> 02:25:58,440 Speaker 11: Sounds will say that all day long as it skips 2974 02:25:58,440 --> 02:26:00,960 Speaker 11: all the way through to the far side, ten yards 2975 02:26:01,000 --> 02:26:03,800 Speaker 11: from the corner flag. It's gonna be a Sounders throw 2976 02:26:04,280 --> 02:26:06,880 Speaker 11: as new who trots over and tries to burn off 2977 02:26:06,879 --> 02:26:08,520 Speaker 11: a couple of valuable seconds we get here in the 2978 02:26:08,560 --> 02:26:09,240 Speaker 11: final ten minutes. 2979 02:26:09,280 --> 02:26:12,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, Jackson's gonna have a headache after this game. That's 2980 02:26:12,920 --> 02:26:15,600 Speaker 6: at least ten so far from corner kicks or set 2981 02:26:15,640 --> 02:26:17,680 Speaker 6: pieces cleared out just by him. And I think what 2982 02:26:17,760 --> 02:26:19,600 Speaker 6: the Sounders have done is they've switched him into a 2983 02:26:19,760 --> 02:26:22,120 Speaker 6: role where he's free the entire time, and he just 2984 02:26:22,160 --> 02:26:23,920 Speaker 6: goes and hunts for the ball. And I think it's 2985 02:26:23,920 --> 02:26:25,640 Speaker 6: a good decision, right. You want your best header of 2986 02:26:25,720 --> 02:26:27,480 Speaker 6: the ball, your tallest guy, just to be in a 2987 02:26:27,560 --> 02:26:30,600 Speaker 6: position in the middle of the mix. You're not responsible 2988 02:26:30,640 --> 02:26:33,280 Speaker 6: for marking anyone, but your job is wherever the ball goes, 2989 02:26:33,680 --> 02:26:35,959 Speaker 6: you have to go find it well. 2990 02:26:35,959 --> 02:26:38,960 Speaker 11: Sounders FC Sock is presented by a Provident Swedish official 2991 02:26:39,000 --> 02:26:44,400 Speaker 11: healthcare partner of Sounders FC. As we mentioned, the Sounders 2992 02:26:44,480 --> 02:26:47,800 Speaker 11: are heading into the outy twenty twenty five MLS cut playoffs. 2993 02:26:47,840 --> 02:26:50,640 Speaker 11: Tonight's decision day match will determine our seating for playoffs 2994 02:26:50,920 --> 02:26:53,720 Speaker 11: and who we will be playing. We are guaranteed to 2995 02:26:53,760 --> 02:26:57,040 Speaker 11: be playing at home for round one match two, as 2996 02:26:57,280 --> 02:27:00,320 Speaker 11: New York City have it. It's a deflection and it's 2997 02:27:00,400 --> 02:27:01,680 Speaker 11: in the back of the net. It was new who 2998 02:27:01,760 --> 02:27:04,480 Speaker 11: came across and he tried to deflect it. In New 2999 02:27:04,560 --> 02:27:07,640 Speaker 11: York City get that goal they were looking for, and 3000 02:27:07,800 --> 02:27:10,240 Speaker 11: unfortunately for the sounds that give one up here late. 3001 02:27:11,040 --> 02:27:12,880 Speaker 6: One one and this goes all the way back to 3002 02:27:12,959 --> 02:27:15,120 Speaker 6: Paul Rothrock here though the sounders are in a great 3003 02:27:15,160 --> 02:27:17,640 Speaker 6: position to kill some more time off the clock. The 3004 02:27:17,720 --> 02:27:20,160 Speaker 6: camera's not even adjusted to the field and Paul Rothrock 3005 02:27:20,200 --> 02:27:22,200 Speaker 6: takes a quick free kick to put it back in play. 3006 02:27:22,520 --> 02:27:25,200 Speaker 6: You're up one nothing with nine minutes left. Knew who 3007 02:27:25,240 --> 02:27:27,879 Speaker 6: should be responsible for that ball to be put back 3008 02:27:27,959 --> 02:27:30,920 Speaker 6: into play? And it's a little slit ball here from 3009 02:27:31,000 --> 02:27:33,480 Speaker 6: Danny Leva thinks he's got a square ball's wide open, 3010 02:27:34,680 --> 02:27:36,360 Speaker 6: does all the right things here and Knew who just 3011 02:27:36,400 --> 02:27:39,600 Speaker 6: a little last at cheffer. Jonathan Bell comes out, actually 3012 02:27:39,680 --> 02:27:43,840 Speaker 6: catches the underside of Knew who's leg and Jonathan Bell 3013 02:27:43,879 --> 02:27:45,280 Speaker 6: there and a little bit of a mix up with 3014 02:27:45,400 --> 02:27:49,200 Speaker 6: Knew who who steps who stays wide and Stephan Fry 3015 02:27:49,360 --> 02:27:52,280 Speaker 6: nothing he can do on that one straight into the ground. 3016 02:27:52,280 --> 02:27:55,720 Speaker 6: Stephan fry thinks it's going low and the Sounders just 3017 02:27:55,800 --> 02:27:58,800 Speaker 6: kind of shoot themselves in the foot. But again, why 3018 02:27:58,800 --> 02:28:02,280 Speaker 6: are you taking a quick free kick when you've got 3019 02:28:02,480 --> 02:28:05,000 Speaker 6: limited amount of time on the clock. It's got to 3020 02:28:05,080 --> 02:28:09,680 Speaker 6: be more mature, better game management from Rothrock in that moment, 3021 02:28:10,800 --> 02:28:12,440 Speaker 6: and I think Schwetz will be asking, why are we 3022 02:28:12,520 --> 02:28:14,800 Speaker 6: taking a quick free kick there? Let New York City 3023 02:28:14,920 --> 02:28:17,840 Speaker 6: drop all the way back ping the ball forward. Let's 3024 02:28:17,879 --> 02:28:20,199 Speaker 6: fight for the second ball. We've done it so well tonight. 3025 02:28:21,040 --> 02:28:23,760 Speaker 11: Especially with New York City pushing men forward, the pressure 3026 02:28:24,040 --> 02:28:25,640 Speaker 11: is going to come further out the field. If they 3027 02:28:25,680 --> 02:28:28,720 Speaker 11: could just bypass that pressure, They've shown they can find 3028 02:28:28,760 --> 02:28:32,040 Speaker 11: pockets of space, as the New York City fans celebrate, 3029 02:28:34,520 --> 02:28:36,320 Speaker 11: But for the sound Is and Brian Schmidt, so that's 3030 02:28:36,560 --> 02:28:39,120 Speaker 11: a stinger to give up in the final ten minutes. 3031 02:28:39,160 --> 02:28:41,280 Speaker 11: It's happened a few times now as you look in 3032 02:28:41,440 --> 02:28:43,720 Speaker 11: previous games, Austin being one of them lost the game, 3033 02:28:43,800 --> 02:28:47,600 Speaker 11: then New York LA Galaxy as well. See a couple 3034 02:28:47,640 --> 02:28:50,960 Speaker 11: of changes here. Danny Massovski read Baker Whiting coming on 3035 02:28:51,080 --> 02:28:57,720 Speaker 11: the field for Rara. I believe Morris will be off, 3036 02:28:57,800 --> 02:29:01,440 Speaker 11: so be Morris and for off Massoski read Baker Whiting on. 3037 02:29:03,400 --> 02:29:07,320 Speaker 11: Let's see if the Sounders can somehow chlora goal back here, 3038 02:29:07,360 --> 02:29:09,879 Speaker 11: but they have to defend. Now, this is real playoff 3039 02:29:09,959 --> 02:29:11,760 Speaker 11: stuff here now where New York City are going to 3040 02:29:11,840 --> 02:29:15,480 Speaker 11: try and go after the juggular here and try and 3041 02:29:15,520 --> 02:29:17,680 Speaker 11: get that winning goal. Good play by Reid on the 3042 02:29:17,760 --> 02:29:21,400 Speaker 11: far side, weels away from pressure, wins the ball off 3043 02:29:23,160 --> 02:29:25,160 Speaker 11: New York City and then giving up and it's a foul. 3044 02:29:26,080 --> 02:29:29,600 Speaker 11: I think it's on roth by Fernandez, the sub just 3045 02:29:29,680 --> 02:29:32,039 Speaker 11: inside the Sounders attacking half of the field and sounds. 3046 02:29:32,080 --> 02:29:34,160 Speaker 11: Now we'll tell you Toy's Snody Brunello that won the 3047 02:29:34,240 --> 02:29:37,600 Speaker 11: foul and it sounds now will take their time to 3048 02:29:37,640 --> 02:29:38,480 Speaker 11: take this free kick. 3049 02:29:39,200 --> 02:29:40,880 Speaker 6: Well, the Sounders are going to push forward now. I 3050 02:29:40,959 --> 02:29:43,880 Speaker 6: mean a draw does them nothing, a loss does them 3051 02:29:44,240 --> 02:29:46,080 Speaker 6: and a win doesn't either other than confidence. So you 3052 02:29:46,160 --> 02:29:48,280 Speaker 6: might as well go for the win here and see 3053 02:29:48,320 --> 02:29:50,120 Speaker 6: if you can create a couple opportunities. There'll be a 3054 02:29:50,160 --> 02:29:51,920 Speaker 6: little bit of stoppage time at the end of this one, 3055 02:29:51,959 --> 02:29:56,560 Speaker 6: maybe seven or eight minutes remaining in total. I think 3056 02:29:56,879 --> 02:29:59,120 Speaker 6: with Musovski coming on the field, it'll give him a 3057 02:29:59,240 --> 02:30:04,039 Speaker 6: chance to to get kind of dust dust, the dirt 3058 02:30:04,080 --> 02:30:06,080 Speaker 6: off of his shoes and hopefully he can find a 3059 02:30:06,240 --> 02:30:06,960 Speaker 6: magical winner. 3060 02:30:07,840 --> 02:30:11,320 Speaker 11: A quick free kick that costs us that goal also 3061 02:30:11,760 --> 02:30:13,840 Speaker 11: cut my read down as well, So let me finish 3062 02:30:13,920 --> 02:30:16,040 Speaker 11: up what's going on here. So we're guaranteed to be 3063 02:30:16,080 --> 02:30:18,040 Speaker 11: playing at home for a Round one match.

As the Sounders earn a corner kick 3067 02:30:30,480 --> 02:30:32,959 Speaker 11: from this right hand side, it was rotocker went down 3068 02:30:33,000 --> 02:30:35,840 Speaker 11: the right hand side, deflection over the end line. 3069 02:30:35,920 --> 02:30:36,320 Speaker 6: Is you get here? 3070 02:30:36,360 --> 02:30:39,240 Speaker 11: In the final five minutes New York one Sounders one? 3071 02:30:41,080 --> 02:30:43,720 Speaker 11: Can the Sounders work their way back into the lead 3072 02:30:43,800 --> 02:30:47,680 Speaker 11: here they took a lead and the second half and 3073 02:30:49,520 --> 02:30:52,160 Speaker 11: for the Sounders, can they eke it out again? Another 3074 02:30:52,240 --> 02:30:56,440 Speaker 11: victory on the East Coast? Have strike, good strike by 3075 02:30:56,560 --> 02:30:59,520 Speaker 11: Brunell as New York City flew himself in front of 3076 02:30:59,520 --> 02:31:03,960 Speaker 11: the ball a freeze calling a foul. We'll see what 3077 02:31:04,000 --> 02:31:07,080 Speaker 11: that is. May it's a little push by Jackson or 3078 02:31:07,120 --> 02:31:09,120 Speaker 11: one of these attacking players for that corner kick. But 3079 02:31:09,200 --> 02:31:10,959 Speaker 11: it comes New York sitting down the right hand side, 3080 02:31:11,120 --> 02:31:13,520 Speaker 11: ball inside, good play by Brunell, a little reverse ball 3081 02:31:13,560 --> 02:31:17,600 Speaker 11: into Labor, center of the field and the center circle 3082 02:31:17,680 --> 02:31:20,240 Speaker 11: ball down by Brunell, puts his hand on it, plays 3083 02:31:20,280 --> 02:31:22,040 Speaker 11: it quickly down his right hand side. Now and now 3084 02:31:22,120 --> 02:31:25,480 Speaker 11: Sounders can go at some speed with Kilany to Rothrock 3085 02:31:25,600 --> 02:31:27,800 Speaker 11: eighteen yards from the endline, plays it inside to Labor, 3086 02:31:27,879 --> 02:31:30,400 Speaker 11: flicks it around the corner. Can Rothrock get there? Not 3087 02:31:30,560 --> 02:31:33,000 Speaker 11: quite goes clattering in. It's going to be a corner kick. 3088 02:31:33,040 --> 02:31:36,640 Speaker 11: It was a coming together of two players. The blue 3089 02:31:36,720 --> 02:31:39,520 Speaker 11: shirt an old Tool on the ground, Rothrock still on 3090 02:31:39,560 --> 02:31:41,680 Speaker 11: the ground as well. It was a fair challenge. At 3091 02:31:41,760 --> 02:31:43,680 Speaker 11: least he had the chance to go after it. No foul, 3092 02:31:43,720 --> 02:31:44,640 Speaker 11: It's going to be a corner kick. 3093 02:31:44,920 --> 02:31:47,040 Speaker 6: I think Rothrock gets the better of Old Tool here. 3094 02:31:48,760 --> 02:31:51,920 Speaker 6: We watched the replay. It's just pure effort from Paul Rothrock. 3095 02:31:51,959 --> 02:31:53,520 Speaker 6: Here he's sliding to make a play on the ball 3096 02:31:53,560 --> 02:31:55,400 Speaker 6: and Old two just gets there first. And that's one 3097 02:31:55,440 --> 02:31:58,240 Speaker 6: where you can't pull out of the challenge. Your momentum 3098 02:31:58,320 --> 02:31:59,800 Speaker 6: is gonna take you through. A ball get slipped in 3099 02:31:59,840 --> 02:32:03,920 Speaker 6: by Danny Lava and O'Toole just takes a deflection, and 3100 02:32:04,000 --> 02:32:05,960 Speaker 6: I think he's actually trying to play it out of bounds, 3101 02:32:06,000 --> 02:32:09,560 Speaker 6: and on any other day it might be a foul bull. 3102 02:32:09,400 --> 02:32:15,200 Speaker 11: Whipped an outswinger headed down all Jackson Reagan. It's been 3103 02:32:15,240 --> 02:32:19,080 Speaker 11: a brilliant performance by Jackson defensively. And now he steps 3104 02:32:19,160 --> 02:32:21,800 Speaker 11: up and hammers a header into the back of the 3105 02:32:21,920 --> 02:32:24,560 Speaker 11: net and the sounders lead to one here. 3106 02:32:24,480 --> 02:32:25,119 Speaker 16: In New York. 3107 02:32:25,640 --> 02:32:28,039 Speaker 6: What ahead of that is by Jackson. Reagan just gets 3108 02:32:28,120 --> 02:32:31,680 Speaker 6: up higher than everyone else and smashes that one almost 3109 02:32:31,680 --> 02:32:34,600 Speaker 6: from the peak spot twelve yards out into the back 3110 02:32:34,640 --> 02:32:36,720 Speaker 6: of the net. Again, Matt frees nothing he can do. 3111 02:32:37,200 --> 02:32:38,960 Speaker 6: Initially on the service, I thought it was going to 3112 02:32:39,000 --> 02:32:41,400 Speaker 6: be too flighty, too much in the air. But Jackson 3113 02:32:41,440 --> 02:32:44,400 Speaker 6: gets up and just towers up above. Ball comes in 3114 02:32:44,480 --> 02:32:47,640 Speaker 6: swung in here from Danny Leva and beats his defender. 3115 02:32:47,680 --> 02:32:49,240 Speaker 6: It's just a one on one match up there, and 3116 02:32:49,280 --> 02:32:51,920 Speaker 6: it's just pure strength and you can't match Look at that. 3117 02:32:52,000 --> 02:32:53,600 Speaker 6: Just grabs him by the shirt, shoves him out of 3118 02:32:53,600 --> 02:32:57,240 Speaker 6: the way, gets up and just smashes that ball straight 3119 02:32:57,280 --> 02:32:59,240 Speaker 6: in the back of the net. You see Rusnak smile, 3120 02:33:01,480 --> 02:33:02,959 Speaker 6: and that tells you everything right there. 3121 02:33:04,560 --> 02:33:07,520 Speaker 11: Well, Rosnik was standing somewhat front of the goalkeeper, but 3122 02:33:07,560 --> 02:33:10,080 Speaker 11: hopefully the referee will not bring it back. But as 3123 02:33:10,120 --> 02:33:12,240 Speaker 11: we say in England, that was a proper header. 3124 02:33:12,360 --> 02:33:14,160 Speaker 6: That was a proper header. I mean, that's what you've 3125 02:33:14,200 --> 02:33:16,240 Speaker 6: been asking for. And if he can get five or 3126 02:33:16,280 --> 02:33:17,119 Speaker 6: six of those a year. 3127 02:33:17,200 --> 02:33:18,760 Speaker 11: We talked about it last week and we've taught you 3128 02:33:18,840 --> 02:33:20,280 Speaker 11: and I have talked about it before as well. And 3129 02:33:21,480 --> 02:33:22,640 Speaker 11: he's got the ability. 3130 02:33:22,959 --> 02:33:24,840 Speaker 6: He's got. He's shown it this year. That's two I 3131 02:33:24,920 --> 02:33:26,200 Speaker 6: think this year for him so far. 3132 02:33:26,560 --> 02:33:26,760 Speaker 13: Yep. 3133 02:33:27,000 --> 02:33:29,040 Speaker 6: And I just think if he can add that to 3134 02:33:29,240 --> 02:33:31,280 Speaker 6: his repertoire and really have that in his bag, he'll 3135 02:33:31,520 --> 02:33:33,520 Speaker 6: be in with the US national team. I don't see 3136 02:33:33,520 --> 02:33:35,320 Speaker 6: why you can't when you have an aerial threat like 3137 02:33:35,400 --> 02:33:39,200 Speaker 6: that offensively and then obviously defensively. He's shown it, but 3138 02:33:39,320 --> 02:33:42,240 Speaker 6: you have to have it on the offensive side. That's 3139 02:33:42,320 --> 02:33:43,280 Speaker 6: just a fantastic header. 3140 02:33:43,360 --> 02:33:45,240 Speaker 11: Now this sounds. Have to see these final these five 3141 02:33:45,280 --> 02:33:48,480 Speaker 11: minutes and he's been a conversation between Fryan Knew who 3142 02:33:48,520 --> 02:33:50,240 Speaker 11: he just flicks the ball up. He had no pressure, 3143 02:33:50,280 --> 02:33:52,600 Speaker 11: could have let it go over the end line. Takes 3144 02:33:52,640 --> 02:33:55,360 Speaker 11: safety first method, but it does go over the endline 3145 02:33:55,360 --> 02:33:57,440 Speaker 11: for a corner kick from New York on their right hand. Sorry, 3146 02:33:57,480 --> 02:34:00,480 Speaker 11: it's gonna be Fernandez with his left foot as Freeze 3147 02:34:00,520 --> 02:34:03,800 Speaker 11: comes up. Now, final ninety seconds of the ninety minutes. 3148 02:34:03,879 --> 02:34:09,039 Speaker 11: Ball comes in, whipped in, headed away by New picked 3149 02:34:09,120 --> 02:34:11,720 Speaker 11: up by Ruznak. Can you riggle out of pressure? Freeze? 3150 02:34:11,760 --> 02:34:15,360 Speaker 11: Isn't a full sprint back as Labor just knocks it along. 3151 02:34:15,480 --> 02:34:17,440 Speaker 11: Not a bad choice by Danny at all, just knocks 3152 02:34:17,480 --> 02:34:21,640 Speaker 11: it down into the channel, relieves pressure. Sound is leading 3153 02:34:21,720 --> 02:34:26,760 Speaker 11: two goals to one. A smart decision, final minute of 3154 02:34:26,840 --> 02:34:29,040 Speaker 11: the ninety whatever the referee will add on. And what 3155 02:34:29,160 --> 02:34:32,359 Speaker 11: a result this would be, coming into a tough environment 3156 02:34:32,440 --> 02:34:34,640 Speaker 11: against a team that needed to really win to push 3157 02:34:34,720 --> 02:34:36,720 Speaker 11: themselves into that top four. 3158 02:34:37,800 --> 02:34:39,760 Speaker 6: Well you hear Schmitz are yelling there, calm the game, 3159 02:34:39,879 --> 02:34:43,720 Speaker 6: Calm the game. And I think there's moments to be calm. Yes, 3160 02:34:43,800 --> 02:34:46,280 Speaker 6: But when you're entering the ninetieth minute and you're feeling 3161 02:34:46,360 --> 02:34:48,440 Speaker 6: some pressure, you got tired legs, there's nothing wrong with 3162 02:34:48,520 --> 02:34:50,640 Speaker 6: sending that ball sixty seventy yards up the field. 3163 02:34:51,640 --> 02:34:53,320 Speaker 11: New York have it on their left hand side of 3164 02:34:53,400 --> 02:34:56,560 Speaker 11: their tool goes back to Huk and then to Martine. 3165 02:34:56,720 --> 02:34:59,000 Speaker 11: Sound as eleven men behind the ball just five yards 3166 02:34:59,040 --> 02:35:01,920 Speaker 11: outside their eighteen yard box. Brunelle just gets his right 3167 02:35:01,959 --> 02:35:05,240 Speaker 11: foot into it, knocks it down. The Sounders left chased 3168 02:35:05,280 --> 02:35:07,880 Speaker 11: by Reed and he'll probably retreat now, i'd imagine, but 3169 02:35:08,120 --> 02:35:10,480 Speaker 11: Rossneck's gonna put some pressure on Martin's and the Sounders 3170 02:35:10,480 --> 02:35:15,400 Speaker 11: are gonna step up their lines. Mussovski is gonna come 3171 02:35:15,480 --> 02:35:18,640 Speaker 11: across and put some pressure on Huck Sounders leading to 3172 02:35:18,720 --> 02:35:21,440 Speaker 11: to one here as we get to the ninety minute mark, 3173 02:35:21,480 --> 02:35:23,360 Speaker 11: and we'll just look down and see what the fourth 3174 02:35:23,400 --> 02:35:26,080 Speaker 11: official puts on his board. In terms of added time, 3175 02:35:26,160 --> 02:35:27,880 Speaker 11: it was seven minutes of added time due to the 3176 02:35:27,959 --> 02:35:32,760 Speaker 11: Della Vega injury. Great takedown by Rosnack. Ball goes into 3177 02:35:32,840 --> 02:35:35,039 Speaker 11: Mussosi top of the eighteen yard but try to Wriggle 3178 02:35:35,320 --> 02:35:37,520 Speaker 11: away from pressure. Roth Rock was available to the right, 3179 02:35:37,600 --> 02:35:39,640 Speaker 11: but New York win the ball. Now the ball goes 3180 02:35:39,720 --> 02:35:43,359 Speaker 11: over the top. It's a foot race between Martinez and Jackson. 3181 02:35:43,440 --> 02:35:47,800 Speaker 11: It goes wide. Jackson just did just enough. He was 3182 02:35:47,879 --> 02:35:51,440 Speaker 11: scrambling back. He went to ground and I think Jackson 3183 02:35:51,480 --> 02:35:55,120 Speaker 11: with that challenge is just enough to knock off Martinez. 3184 02:35:55,879 --> 02:35:57,960 Speaker 11: It goes wide. It's a goal kick. Sounds lead to 3185 02:35:58,040 --> 02:36:01,040 Speaker 11: to one, but Brad Evans that was a chance for 3186 02:36:01,120 --> 02:36:02,039 Speaker 11: New York going the other way. 3187 02:36:02,120 --> 02:36:05,000 Speaker 6: Well, listen, it all starts with Danny Mussovski. You've con 3188 02:36:05,080 --> 02:36:07,280 Speaker 6: on the field, You've been on for five minutes. The ball, yes, 3189 02:36:07,360 --> 02:36:09,320 Speaker 6: you take a bad touch. Why are you not sprinting 3190 02:36:09,440 --> 02:36:12,080 Speaker 6: to pressure the ball? To try to put some pressure 3191 02:36:12,440 --> 02:36:14,440 Speaker 6: on a New York City defender, whether it's Hawk or 3192 02:36:14,480 --> 02:36:17,879 Speaker 6: Martinz whatever it may be. It just blows my mind 3193 02:36:17,920 --> 02:36:19,360 Speaker 6: and the fact that there isn't a player on the 3194 02:36:19,440 --> 02:36:22,400 Speaker 6: field that I can see that's screaming at him put 3195 02:36:22,480 --> 02:36:25,840 Speaker 6: pressure on the ball, and Stephan Fry with his angle there, 3196 02:36:25,920 --> 02:36:28,760 Speaker 6: that back post was wide open and just enough from 3197 02:36:28,840 --> 02:36:31,080 Speaker 6: Jackson Reagan to put Martinez off and not be able 3198 02:36:31,080 --> 02:36:32,440 Speaker 6: to curl that ball inside the post. 3199 02:36:34,280 --> 02:36:36,680 Speaker 11: New York have it on this that left hand side 3200 02:36:36,720 --> 02:36:38,520 Speaker 11: sounder is right, pick it up? Do the sounders in 3201 02:36:38,560 --> 02:36:40,600 Speaker 11: the green shirts? With Danny Lava no pressure on the 3202 02:36:40,600 --> 02:36:44,120 Speaker 11: ball goes back to Jackson. One touch ball inside by 3203 02:36:44,200 --> 02:36:47,960 Speaker 11: Kline gives it a way to Fernandez. Macauey comes number eleven, 3204 02:36:48,040 --> 02:36:50,800 Speaker 11: Fernandez outside the left foot down the right hand side. 3205 02:36:51,440 --> 02:36:54,240 Speaker 11: It goes a little step over and down the line 3206 02:36:54,280 --> 02:36:56,160 Speaker 11: towards Fernandez a couple of yards from the end line 3207 02:36:56,160 --> 02:36:58,760 Speaker 11: with his right foot just clips it into Martinez with 3208 02:36:58,840 --> 02:37:02,040 Speaker 11: his head from about four teen yards. Couldn't get the 3209 02:37:02,600 --> 02:37:05,800 Speaker 11: requisite power as Jackson Reagan did from a similar distance. 3210 02:37:05,920 --> 02:37:08,600 Speaker 11: Now the Sounds pick it up on their right hand side. 3211 02:37:08,760 --> 02:37:13,800 Speaker 11: Just need to preserve now the lead as Calany rulls 3212 02:37:13,840 --> 02:37:17,240 Speaker 11: it back to steph Fryn launches it up five minutes 3213 02:37:17,240 --> 02:37:19,640 Speaker 11: about it time two minutes of the five aided tick 3214 02:37:19,760 --> 02:37:23,240 Speaker 11: by Masaski goes down, chased by Ruznek. Balled to the 3215 02:37:23,320 --> 02:37:28,359 Speaker 11: right hand side for New York overlapping run by Illinich, 3216 02:37:28,840 --> 02:37:33,360 Speaker 11: closed down by Knew who back it goes closed down 3217 02:37:33,400 --> 02:37:36,440 Speaker 11: by Reed, now right hand side whipped in good challenge 3218 02:37:36,480 --> 02:37:39,160 Speaker 11: by Knew who is He's demanding a bit more from 3219 02:37:39,240 --> 02:37:44,800 Speaker 11: Reed and Nich wins the throw in ten yards from 3220 02:37:44,840 --> 02:37:47,240 Speaker 11: the corner flag, throws it in quickly goes back Sound 3221 02:37:47,280 --> 02:37:50,280 Speaker 11: to step up their line to Martinez. Now to huck 3222 02:37:51,080 --> 02:37:56,520 Speaker 11: O'tooll has it just inside left position. Sound is holding 3223 02:37:56,560 --> 02:37:58,520 Speaker 11: the top of their eighteen yard box. Down goes Snyder, 3224 02:37:58,600 --> 02:38:00,480 Speaker 11: trying to cut out that ball. Fernandez has it now 3225 02:38:00,560 --> 02:38:03,200 Speaker 11: to Martinez trying to wriggle it through to Fernandoz who 3226 02:38:03,200 --> 02:38:06,480 Speaker 11: made the running behind, and it scoots through to Stephan Fry. 3227 02:38:08,480 --> 02:38:10,520 Speaker 11: He just burns a couple of seconds off before he 3228 02:38:10,560 --> 02:38:12,440 Speaker 11: picks the ball up and then steps the lines up 3229 02:38:12,480 --> 02:38:14,360 Speaker 11: and he's going to launch the ball forward. No messing 3230 02:38:14,400 --> 02:38:18,200 Speaker 11: around now. Two minutes to go of the five Sounders 3231 02:38:18,280 --> 02:38:21,879 Speaker 11: leading two goals to one here in New York final 3232 02:38:21,959 --> 02:38:24,440 Speaker 11: game of the season, Decision Day, sounders have locked up fifth. 3233 02:38:25,120 --> 02:38:26,680 Speaker 11: New York City is going to wait and see what 3234 02:38:26,800 --> 02:38:29,360 Speaker 11: they have ahead of them as a sound as well 3235 02:38:29,400 --> 02:38:32,760 Speaker 11: as they wait to see the results coming out of 3236 02:38:32,840 --> 02:38:36,039 Speaker 11: Decision Day on the West Coast or the Western Conference. 3237 02:38:36,080 --> 02:38:38,920 Speaker 11: As hut goes down and eventually the assistant referees flight 3238 02:38:39,000 --> 02:38:41,160 Speaker 11: goes up. That's just what you were talking about, Brett 3239 02:38:41,160 --> 02:38:44,080 Speaker 11: a few I don't know, an hour ago, the frustration 3240 02:38:44,120 --> 02:38:45,840 Speaker 11: where asistant referee flights go up so late. 3241 02:38:46,000 --> 02:38:48,520 Speaker 6: Yeah, it came up at that moment. It didn't look 3242 02:38:48,560 --> 02:38:51,640 Speaker 6: like Reid was off sides on that one, but certainly 3243 02:38:51,760 --> 02:38:53,360 Speaker 6: was and no Sounders with some defending to do. 3244 02:38:53,600 --> 02:38:55,760 Speaker 11: Yep, Sounders need to retreat now, ball in the right 3245 02:38:55,840 --> 02:38:57,600 Speaker 11: corner of the eighteen yard box for New York is 3246 02:38:57,640 --> 02:38:59,680 Speaker 11: gonna be flicked in and headed away by Jonathan Bell 3247 02:38:59,720 --> 02:39:03,560 Speaker 11: who well so far coming in for Alex rolled on 3248 02:39:03,720 --> 02:39:06,920 Speaker 11: alongside Jackson. Reagano has been a rock as Jackson and 3249 02:39:07,080 --> 02:39:08,959 Speaker 11: he's got the second goal for the Sounders, but they 3250 02:39:09,040 --> 02:39:10,760 Speaker 11: have to defend now a few minutes to go. Ball 3251 02:39:10,840 --> 02:39:13,120 Speaker 11: goes across, there is a big right foot of Jackson 3252 02:39:13,560 --> 02:39:15,760 Speaker 11: and then it's flicked forward. They're asking for a corner kick, 3253 02:39:15,840 --> 02:39:20,480 Speaker 11: nothing there. The referee points to the goal kick, and 3254 02:39:20,600 --> 02:39:22,800 Speaker 11: now we've got about sixty seconds to go for the 3255 02:39:22,920 --> 02:39:26,879 Speaker 11: Sounders to get an all important confidence building win away 3256 02:39:26,920 --> 02:39:31,800 Speaker 11: from home into another difficult place, and the Sounders will 3257 02:39:32,600 --> 02:39:35,640 Speaker 11: if they can retain this too to one lead, get 3258 02:39:35,720 --> 02:39:38,400 Speaker 11: three points, they'll go into the playoffs in the back 3259 02:39:38,440 --> 02:39:43,720 Speaker 11: of four games unbeaten, three wins and a tie. Two 3260 02:39:43,800 --> 02:39:47,800 Speaker 11: of those wins came from clean sheets, so the Sounders 3261 02:39:47,840 --> 02:39:50,840 Speaker 11: have found their footing again coming out of league's Cup final. 3262 02:39:51,200 --> 02:39:53,520 Speaker 11: So the ball goes down the line. Good breakout by 3263 02:39:53,680 --> 02:39:56,480 Speaker 11: knew who and he clips the ball down the line. 3264 02:39:56,560 --> 02:40:01,040 Speaker 11: Thirty seconds ago Sounders leading two goals to one, New 3265 02:40:01,120 --> 02:40:03,720 Speaker 11: York have the ball center of the park. Sound As 3266 02:40:03,720 --> 02:40:08,080 Speaker 11: eleven men behind the ball as they rotate across the field. 3267 02:40:08,240 --> 02:40:12,119 Speaker 11: Left hand side is Martinez now center of the parks, 3268 02:40:12,160 --> 02:40:15,000 Speaker 11: flicked in by Fernandez, headed away by Kolan, who's had 3269 02:40:15,000 --> 02:40:18,440 Speaker 11: another good solid outing on that right back spot, getting 3270 02:40:18,480 --> 02:40:21,640 Speaker 11: a battering into the face with a bloody nose, and 3271 02:40:21,760 --> 02:40:24,000 Speaker 11: we certainly wish Della Vega all the best. We're going 3272 02:40:24,040 --> 02:40:26,160 Speaker 11: to wait to see what reports we get coming out 3273 02:40:26,280 --> 02:40:31,320 Speaker 11: of New York and there's a referees whistle And for 3274 02:40:31,400 --> 02:40:35,600 Speaker 11: the Sounders, it was a hard for ninety minutes, but 3275 02:40:35,760 --> 02:40:39,280 Speaker 11: they deserved what is now a win. And it was 3276 02:40:39,360 --> 02:40:42,440 Speaker 11: a goal by Morris, his first goal since coming back 3277 02:40:42,480 --> 02:40:46,200 Speaker 11: from injury. Much needed goal for Jordan Morris and equalized 3278 02:40:46,240 --> 02:40:48,840 Speaker 11: by New York City. And then it was a powerful 3279 02:40:48,920 --> 02:40:52,200 Speaker 11: headed by Jackson Reagan, who should be named in my opinion, 3280 02:40:52,280 --> 02:40:55,760 Speaker 11: man of the match defensively was fantastic, powerful header gets 3281 02:40:55,840 --> 02:40:58,120 Speaker 11: the third goal from a cornerkick for the Sounders this 3282 02:40:58,320 --> 02:40:59,920 Speaker 11: season and what a time to do it. 3283 02:41:00,120 --> 02:41:02,920 Speaker 6: Brat your final thoughts, Yeah, well done from the Sounders. Look, 3284 02:41:02,920 --> 02:41:05,240 Speaker 6: it's always difficult to travel across the country and you 3285 02:41:05,320 --> 02:41:07,959 Speaker 6: got to leave on a Thursday train there again on Friday, 3286 02:41:08,280 --> 02:41:10,400 Speaker 6: and especially at the tail end of the season. It 3287 02:41:10,520 --> 02:41:13,800 Speaker 6: was the only Western Conference Eastern Conference matchup this weekend 3288 02:41:13,840 --> 02:41:15,560 Speaker 6: and it happened to be the Sounders, so credit to 3289 02:41:15,600 --> 02:41:18,440 Speaker 6: them for traveling across the country. Alex Roldon steps in 3290 02:41:18,520 --> 02:41:20,680 Speaker 6: as center back once again. Colonie has a right back, 3291 02:41:20,760 --> 02:41:22,480 Speaker 6: so still a little bit of a mix up in 3292 02:41:22,720 --> 02:41:24,280 Speaker 6: the back line, but able to come out with a 3293 02:41:24,360 --> 02:41:27,199 Speaker 6: victory and to get Jordan a goal tonight was massive 3294 02:41:27,280 --> 02:41:30,240 Speaker 6: for the Sounders. His confidence, you see the players surrounding him, 3295 02:41:30,240 --> 02:41:32,960 Speaker 6: you see the coaching staff. But like you said, Jackson 3296 02:41:33,000 --> 02:41:37,160 Speaker 6: Reagan was fantastic tonight and that header was something special. 3297 02:41:37,200 --> 02:41:38,400 Speaker 6: You just love to see it, right. 3298 02:41:40,160 --> 02:41:43,760 Speaker 11: Dominant performance by Jackson Reagan on both sides of the ball, 3299 02:41:43,840 --> 02:41:47,800 Speaker 11: and eventually the Sounders manage to claw out a really 3300 02:41:47,879 --> 02:41:50,000 Speaker 11: important three points to get in the confidence to move 3301 02:41:50,080 --> 02:41:52,960 Speaker 11: forward into the playoffs.
