WEBVTT 00:00:09.960 --> 00:00:15.279 It's time for Scuttlebutt Ultras. Quick takes 00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:17.920 from our Patreon Ultras, sharing their soundest 00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:21.480 thoughts straight from the heart. Your voice, 00:00:21.519 --> 00:00:37.439 your moment. Hello and welcome to another episode 00:00:37.439 --> 00:00:41.329 of Scuttlebutt Ultras here. Part of the Sounders 00:00:41.329 --> 00:00:43.850 Scuttlebutt Network, I'm Cameron Collins. I am 00:00:43.850 --> 00:00:47.969 here with Your Ultras, the group of gentlemen 00:00:47.969 --> 00:00:51.429 who are here every week for you to break down 00:00:51.429 --> 00:00:53.689 what's going on with the Sounders in their own 00:00:53.689 --> 00:00:56.909 unique way. We're going to start just randomly 00:00:56.909 --> 00:00:58.850 in the bottom right corner. What's up, Dan? How 00:00:58.850 --> 00:01:02.670 are you doing? Hey, what's going on? I'm hoping 00:01:02.670 --> 00:01:04.790 somebody can explain to me why I woke up this 00:01:04.790 --> 00:01:07.430 morning feeling like we lost yesterday. So maybe 00:01:07.430 --> 00:01:10.579 we can get to that by the end. Middle fingers 00:01:10.579 --> 00:01:14.219 up to everybody. Cedar, how are you doing today? 00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:20.379 Everything's good. Happy to be back talking this 00:01:20.379 --> 00:01:26.019 game. Yeah, I will echo Dan's sentiments. I actually 00:01:26.019 --> 00:01:27.659 haven't seen the video, but I heard it was the 00:01:27.659 --> 00:01:31.379 saddest, most somber Jingle Bells of all time. 00:01:31.760 --> 00:01:35.079 It came up and I moved along because I wasn't 00:01:35.079 --> 00:01:40.239 feeling it. We do have the man of two names always, 00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:42.640 Alex Diaz. Hey, how's it going? How you doing, 00:01:42.659 --> 00:01:44.640 Alex? I mean, I'm probably on the same boat as 00:01:44.640 --> 00:01:48.680 everybody here. I think we... Yeah, we'll find 00:01:48.680 --> 00:01:51.939 out. I'm interested to see how hot the takes 00:01:51.939 --> 00:01:57.599 are. 12 plus almost 24, about 22 hours removed 00:01:57.599 --> 00:02:00.859 from the end of the match as we are actually 00:02:00.859 --> 00:02:04.140 recording before the regular Scuttlebutt show 00:02:04.140 --> 00:02:07.310 this week because... We often record on Monday 00:02:07.310 --> 00:02:10.009 nights, but I think that might be a regular thing 00:02:10.009 --> 00:02:12.389 because we might have a little bit of a cadence 00:02:12.389 --> 00:02:15.750 down here now that we have a bunch of games coming 00:02:15.750 --> 00:02:18.750 up recording here on Sunday nights, a night of 00:02:18.750 --> 00:02:22.629 the Club World Cup final where Chelsea shockingly 00:02:22.629 --> 00:02:26.069 came out and destroyed PSG. Who's got thoughts 00:02:26.069 --> 00:02:30.509 on that surprising outcome? I'm pretty sure we 00:02:30.509 --> 00:02:33.590 all said that Chelsea was going to win, so we 00:02:33.590 --> 00:02:34.969 could probably just move on and not bring it 00:02:34.969 --> 00:02:40.139 up anymore. Yeah, perfect. Yeah, I mean, as a 00:02:40.139 --> 00:02:43.520 Chelsea supporter for 30 years and a PSG supporter 00:02:43.520 --> 00:02:47.919 for 25, I was as shocked as everyone. Of course, 00:02:47.979 --> 00:02:51.219 Cole Palmer did Cole Palmer things, but you wouldn't 00:02:51.219 --> 00:02:54.000 think that a young Chelsea team could just take 00:02:54.000 --> 00:02:56.960 out a young PSG team like that, one who had been 00:02:56.960 --> 00:03:04.900 gelling really well together. All right, let's 00:03:04.900 --> 00:03:07.710 talk Sounders. Let's just go. Let's just go into 00:03:07.710 --> 00:03:12.889 it. It helps to have superstars, I think. Cole 00:03:12.889 --> 00:03:16.629 Palmer scoring twice. Messi scoring twice. The 00:03:16.629 --> 00:03:19.449 Sounders, do we have a superstar back in our 00:03:19.449 --> 00:03:22.129 midst as Jordan Morris gets a start and, of course, 00:03:22.150 --> 00:03:24.949 scores a goal on a beautiful assist from Paul 00:03:24.949 --> 00:03:26.849 Rothrock. Where are we at, Dan? What do you think 00:03:26.849 --> 00:03:28.789 about Jordan Morris' return to the starting lineup? 00:03:28.969 --> 00:03:31.250 Yeah, 15 minutes in and he had already put it 00:03:31.250 --> 00:03:33.539 in the back of the net. And I was watching the 00:03:33.539 --> 00:03:36.719 game with my kiddo, Joe, and I just could not 00:03:36.719 --> 00:03:38.379 remember, and I just didn't have the bandwidth 00:03:38.379 --> 00:03:40.860 to go look it up. But when is the last time we 00:03:40.860 --> 00:03:42.879 scored a goal off of a Seattle Sounders head? 00:03:44.000 --> 00:03:48.139 I feel like it's been a while. And besides his 00:03:48.139 --> 00:03:49.960 speed, that's something else he brings, is the 00:03:49.960 --> 00:03:52.819 ability to take in a high cross and put it in 00:03:52.819 --> 00:03:55.780 the back of the net with some force. That came 00:03:55.780 --> 00:03:58.719 off of his head fast. He might have had one in 00:03:58.719 --> 00:04:00.909 the Club World Cup, but... It's been a while. 00:04:01.030 --> 00:04:05.650 But that was off a deflection. Yeah, yeah, yeah. 00:04:06.770 --> 00:04:10.830 But it's, you know, definitely something to see, 00:04:10.870 --> 00:04:12.789 Alex. What did you think about Jordan's return 00:04:12.789 --> 00:04:14.990 to the starting lineup? Only 45 minutes, but 00:04:14.990 --> 00:04:17.389 a pretty good shift considering what we saw. 00:04:17.410 --> 00:04:19.610 Oh, yeah. I think it was great for him to get 00:04:19.610 --> 00:04:22.529 on the score sheet. Like, that was basically, 00:04:22.529 --> 00:04:25.790 like, his on -back moment. Like, this is why 00:04:25.790 --> 00:04:28.490 I'm the DP. And it was a beautiful cross from 00:04:28.490 --> 00:04:30.620 Rothrock, and it was just... That header, all 00:04:30.620 --> 00:04:33.339 you have to do is put it on frame, put it anywhere 00:04:33.339 --> 00:04:35.360 on the side. As long as you don't hit it straight 00:04:35.360 --> 00:04:37.899 at the goalie, it's going in. Nine times out 00:04:37.899 --> 00:04:43.339 of ten. Yeah, we saw Rusnak have a shot that 00:04:43.339 --> 00:04:45.759 nine times out of ten is going in, and the defender 00:04:45.759 --> 00:04:47.759 beat the goalie, and the defender stopped it 00:04:47.759 --> 00:04:51.720 a little bit after that. But, yeah, I was pretty 00:04:51.720 --> 00:04:56.000 happy about that. Cedar Morris is back. Did you 00:04:56.000 --> 00:04:58.399 see what you wanted to see out of him, especially 00:04:58.399 --> 00:05:01.430 at the number nine? Yeah, he was stretching the 00:05:01.430 --> 00:05:03.509 field. He's a little bit, you know, obviously 00:05:03.509 --> 00:05:06.269 he's a little bit bigger than Masovsky. He provides 00:05:06.269 --> 00:05:10.490 that physical presence that maybe Masovsky doesn't 00:05:10.490 --> 00:05:14.230 quite have. And he was dropping into the midfield, 00:05:14.310 --> 00:05:18.269 collecting balls, distributing as well. He's 00:05:18.269 --> 00:05:21.970 good at that. We all know this. And man, yeah, 00:05:22.069 --> 00:05:24.970 I wish he could have kept on the field there, 00:05:25.029 --> 00:05:28.110 but he looked so, when they went to halftime. 00:05:28.560 --> 00:05:31.620 they cut to him and his face was so red. Like 00:05:31.620 --> 00:05:34.420 he was, he was totally winded. So he's still 00:05:34.420 --> 00:05:36.740 ramping back up, but yeah, it's great to see 00:05:36.740 --> 00:05:39.220 him. Let's see everything click right away with 00:05:39.220 --> 00:05:42.120 him back on the field. I got to say, I don't 00:05:42.120 --> 00:05:44.620 know how he does it as I have type two diabetes, 00:05:44.779 --> 00:05:48.000 which is in remission because I got diagnosed 00:05:48.000 --> 00:05:49.839 and immediately did everything I needed to do 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:53.860 within a year to make my A1C and everything get 00:05:53.860 --> 00:05:55.939 down to levels where it doesn't really affect 00:05:55.939 --> 00:05:58.670 me. because I take my medicine every day. But 00:05:58.670 --> 00:06:01.889 Jordan having type one diabetes, just the fatigue 00:06:01.889 --> 00:06:05.149 I feel alone. I can't imagine being an athlete 00:06:05.149 --> 00:06:07.029 and running that much and then having to deal 00:06:07.029 --> 00:06:09.750 with, you've seen tons of baseball players, especially 00:06:09.750 --> 00:06:12.149 that in the way it can affect them. So being 00:06:12.149 --> 00:06:14.370 a soccer player, it's gotta be pretty draining. 00:06:15.870 --> 00:06:22.629 It's impressive. Yeah, absolutely. So could Jordan 00:06:22.629 --> 00:06:25.970 be the answer to what we need? I mean, We haven't 00:06:25.970 --> 00:06:27.829 been scoring goals. I don't remember which one 00:06:27.829 --> 00:06:29.569 of you mentioned it, but we were expecting goals 00:06:29.569 --> 00:06:31.689 in this match. We got three all in the first 00:06:31.689 --> 00:06:33.829 half. It almost felt like a tale of two halves, 00:06:33.910 --> 00:06:35.250 though, where the second half was just holding 00:06:35.250 --> 00:06:39.550 on. Took our foot off the gas. Partially, Danny 00:06:39.550 --> 00:06:44.790 Mazovsky had a rough second half, including what 00:06:44.790 --> 00:06:46.870 Sounders fans were complaining about. But upon 00:06:46.870 --> 00:06:48.629 replay, it seemed like a pretty clear penalty 00:06:48.629 --> 00:06:53.639 on Danny, taking out the guy's lower leg. The 00:06:53.639 --> 00:06:55.399 other one is a little more questionable in my 00:06:55.399 --> 00:06:58.879 opinion, but I don't know. How are we feeling 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:02.540 about the team with Jordan up top just in general? 00:07:02.600 --> 00:07:04.540 Is this something you think is sustainable, three 00:07:04.540 --> 00:07:07.100 goal games and something the Sounders will now 00:07:07.100 --> 00:07:09.699 be able to do regularly and help out the defense 00:07:09.699 --> 00:07:15.319 a bit? Take it away anyway. No, I don't think 00:07:15.319 --> 00:07:19.360 that we're going to see three goal games all 00:07:19.360 --> 00:07:23.589 the time. I think the two -game goals are going 00:07:23.589 --> 00:07:25.370 to be more common instead of the one -game goals. 00:07:25.490 --> 00:07:28.550 I think that could help. But I still have a concern 00:07:28.550 --> 00:07:31.610 that with Morris on the field, you're taking 00:07:31.610 --> 00:07:36.009 Danny off. Previously, Danny's been the one scoring 00:07:36.009 --> 00:07:39.189 the goals. He's got six on the year, and we don't 00:07:39.189 --> 00:07:42.350 have two goal scorers on the field, even with 00:07:42.350 --> 00:07:46.990 just Morris. Maybe Rothrock can get it here and 00:07:46.990 --> 00:07:51.829 there. In this game, Jesus, he got his goal. 00:07:51.990 --> 00:07:56.230 It was a tap -in, but I was texting back and 00:07:56.230 --> 00:07:58.970 forth with some folks, and there were some chances 00:07:58.970 --> 00:08:02.610 earlier that Jesus just again kind of flubbed 00:08:02.610 --> 00:08:06.610 a little bit before he did get his goal. So I 00:08:06.610 --> 00:08:10.389 do not expect going forward that we're going 00:08:10.389 --> 00:08:13.209 to get three games more times than not. I would 00:08:13.209 --> 00:08:15.250 expect a little bit more of two games, but three 00:08:15.250 --> 00:08:22.399 is – I think that's asking a lot. So after last 00:08:22.399 --> 00:08:24.379 night, I should say, Rave Green TV noted that 00:08:24.379 --> 00:08:29.220 Danny has one goal in his last 11 games. And 00:08:29.220 --> 00:08:31.660 he's continued to be in the right position, it 00:08:31.660 --> 00:08:33.299 seems like, over and over again, but has not 00:08:33.299 --> 00:08:36.059 really been able to score. Do you think that 00:08:36.059 --> 00:08:39.580 that is a Danny problem, or is that an inability 00:08:39.580 --> 00:08:41.980 to get Danny? I mean, it seems like he is getting 00:08:41.980 --> 00:08:48.879 some dangerous position balls to him. Is he going 00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:50.399 to get those goals if he hasn't been able to 00:08:50.399 --> 00:08:52.200 do it without Jordan? Does it open up another 00:08:52.200 --> 00:08:54.200 path to him if we're playing two at the top? 00:08:56.120 --> 00:08:58.059 I don't know how often we're going to see two 00:08:58.059 --> 00:09:00.960 at the top, but I think it's a Danny problem. 00:09:01.139 --> 00:09:03.539 I think there's a reason that he is a career 00:09:03.539 --> 00:09:06.899 MLS backup, even with the position that he gets 00:09:06.899 --> 00:09:10.740 in. And we got our six goals out of him. He helped 00:09:10.740 --> 00:09:13.220 us through this patch, and so I definitely am 00:09:13.220 --> 00:09:16.309 grateful. for the services that he has provided, 00:09:16.509 --> 00:09:20.289 but I'm also extremely glad Jordan's back. I 00:09:20.289 --> 00:09:24.070 still want one more dead -eye dick, if you will, 00:09:24.210 --> 00:09:27.909 that's going to score some goals. Yeah, I know 00:09:27.909 --> 00:09:32.370 our colleagues over at Lobbing Scorchers talking 00:09:32.370 --> 00:09:36.110 about, I think it was earlier today or yesterday 00:09:36.110 --> 00:09:41.629 on their YouTube page, how NOAA Ohio doesn't 00:09:41.629 --> 00:09:43.750 want to leave because they only have one forward 00:09:43.750 --> 00:09:46.129 there. And so the Sounders are going to have 00:09:46.129 --> 00:09:48.850 to offer upwards of $10 -11 million to bring 00:09:48.850 --> 00:09:51.629 him in to the club, which doesn't seem like something 00:09:51.629 --> 00:09:53.970 the club is willing to do for a player that won't 00:09:53.970 --> 00:09:56.990 be starting unless they see him with a long future 00:09:56.990 --> 00:10:01.429 here. So what we have is what we're going to 00:10:01.429 --> 00:10:05.269 get, at least for the short term. I don't know, 00:10:05.269 --> 00:10:07.429 Cedar, what about you? How are you feeling with... 00:10:08.639 --> 00:10:10.379 How we're going to do moving forward with Jordan 00:10:10.379 --> 00:10:12.279 Morris coming back and hopefully playing more 00:10:12.279 --> 00:10:15.220 and more minutes every game. Yeah, I feel pretty 00:10:15.220 --> 00:10:19.639 good. I mean, it probably is a little reductive 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:23.779 to say, but we scored three in the half that 00:10:23.779 --> 00:10:26.379 he was playing and we scored none in the half 00:10:26.379 --> 00:10:30.120 that he wasn't playing. So I think he just not 00:10:30.120 --> 00:10:33.500 only with the actual opportunities in the box, 00:10:33.600 --> 00:10:37.039 do I think he's, you know, probably a little 00:10:37.039 --> 00:10:41.070 bit. better than Masovsky, but also you see him 00:10:41.070 --> 00:10:44.129 again, drop into the midfield. You see him receive 00:10:44.129 --> 00:10:46.750 the ball, distribute it back out and then go 00:10:46.750 --> 00:10:49.529 find space. He's, he's really good at that. He's 00:10:49.529 --> 00:10:51.990 been doing it for years. So I think he, he just 00:10:51.990 --> 00:10:54.590 stretches, not only stretches the field vertically, 00:10:54.629 --> 00:10:58.990 but also is able to kind of almost be a, you 00:10:58.990 --> 00:11:04.570 know, a drop back into, to the, to the top of 00:11:04.570 --> 00:11:06.870 the box when we're in possession and help facilitate. 00:11:07.500 --> 00:11:12.120 more of an attack. So I'm, I'm, I'm excited to 00:11:12.120 --> 00:11:16.440 see him be back at full, full stamina because 00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:19.940 I think, I think he, he may be the missing piece 00:11:19.940 --> 00:11:24.779 for us scoring, you know, hopefully more than 00:11:24.779 --> 00:11:31.559 one goal game or any. Yeah. No, I think it's, 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.419 it's good to see him back on the field because 00:11:33.419 --> 00:11:38.009 he offers. a different sort of attack than danny 00:11:38.009 --> 00:11:40.769 musovsky does like we're able to play him in 00:11:40.769 --> 00:11:43.629 through and behind he's able to run out defenders 00:11:43.629 --> 00:11:47.110 like you guys said earlier he's a big much bigger 00:11:47.110 --> 00:11:53.309 body than than danny and like you say i guess 00:11:53.309 --> 00:11:55.590 he's able to score headers now too you haven't 00:11:55.590 --> 00:12:00.080 seen that in a while and it's just I think he 00:12:00.080 --> 00:12:03.019 might be the missing piece to the formula that 00:12:03.019 --> 00:12:06.440 we need to be able to unlock defenses and score 00:12:06.440 --> 00:12:15.220 more goals. Was there anything else that happened 00:12:15.220 --> 00:12:17.200 during this game that might be worth discussing? 00:12:17.320 --> 00:12:20.340 Anything controversial or surprising? I mean, 00:12:20.340 --> 00:12:22.539 at this point, I'm not surprised by what happened. 00:12:22.820 --> 00:12:26.809 Surprising? Yeah. I don't think anything surprising 00:12:26.809 --> 00:12:29.629 happened. I think it was more so it was a matter 00:12:29.629 --> 00:12:35.789 of time until we saw it happen. Yeah. I mean, 00:12:35.870 --> 00:12:40.570 knew who receives a red card for throwing a ball 00:12:40.570 --> 00:12:45.850 at a fan. In our Discord, if you join the Discord, 00:12:46.129 --> 00:12:50.440 you see Nicholas posted the video. of him picking 00:12:50.440 --> 00:12:53.480 the ball up off the ball stand and just chucking 00:12:53.480 --> 00:12:57.120 it directly at the fan as hard as he could, according 00:12:57.120 --> 00:12:59.980 to Brian Schmetzer, for giving him the finger, 00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:04.159 which I think is also what he was trying to tell 00:13:04.159 --> 00:13:06.019 the ref in what has become one of the funniest 00:13:06.019 --> 00:13:10.279 pictures I have ever seen, which is the ref running 00:13:10.279 --> 00:13:12.399 at Nuhu and him just giving him the finger because 00:13:12.399 --> 00:13:16.820 he's trying to say, look what he did to me. What 00:13:16.820 --> 00:13:21.220 gives? Like, what is Nuhu doing here? They lazed. 00:13:21.820 --> 00:13:28.399 Well, I mean. Someone to go. Yeah. So on one 00:13:28.399 --> 00:13:33.240 hand, I get that what he did is he's probably 00:13:33.240 --> 00:13:35.759 going to suffer some consequences. The team may 00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:37.919 even suffer some consequences with him being 00:13:37.919 --> 00:13:41.240 absent because I still think he is the best to 00:13:41.240 --> 00:13:45.799 man that. left back position, especially if we're 00:13:45.799 --> 00:13:51.100 going to play with a three back. But I do, part 00:13:51.100 --> 00:13:55.220 of me, the, so my, I'm a real big fan of Loki 00:13:55.220 --> 00:14:03.179 and I really enjoy the, you know, I really, it's 00:14:03.179 --> 00:14:05.240 my background already. Him flipping the ref off 00:14:05.240 --> 00:14:07.600 is the background of my computer and part of 00:14:07.600 --> 00:14:09.559 me does enjoy it. The lizard part of my brain 00:14:09.559 --> 00:14:13.639 enjoys seeing New Who. act a fool and cause problems. 00:14:13.820 --> 00:14:16.039 I just hate that it is going to hurt the team 00:14:16.039 --> 00:14:21.899 in the long run. Alex, what do you think? I just 00:14:21.899 --> 00:14:26.539 don't even know what to say. I think as a professional 00:14:26.539 --> 00:14:29.879 athlete, or just a person in general, you shouldn't 00:14:29.879 --> 00:14:36.600 be reacting that way. Who knows? Maybe the fan 00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:39.639 crossed the line. You know you're going to go 00:14:39.639 --> 00:14:42.159 into places, hostile environments, where fans 00:14:42.159 --> 00:14:45.080 are going to try to heckle. And that's where 00:14:45.080 --> 00:14:48.059 you have to have a strong mentality and be able 00:14:48.059 --> 00:14:49.960 to not react. Because that's what they want. 00:14:50.039 --> 00:14:51.500 They want to get a reaction out of you. They 00:14:51.500 --> 00:14:53.840 want to throw you off your game. And as we've 00:14:53.840 --> 00:14:55.940 seen before, it's very easy to throw Nuhu off 00:14:55.940 --> 00:14:58.960 his game. There's a lot of examples of mental 00:14:58.960 --> 00:15:04.580 lapse where he did something that led to a goal, 00:15:04.700 --> 00:15:08.120 led to a card. And at this point, I'm not surprised 00:15:08.120 --> 00:15:09.960 that he did something. It was just like, Oh, 00:15:10.019 --> 00:15:15.460 what did he do this time? I feel like if it had 00:15:15.460 --> 00:15:19.240 been something more than just the finger Schmetzer, 00:15:19.240 --> 00:15:21.460 like if it had said something racist or something 00:15:21.460 --> 00:15:23.980 like that, because you know what? I'll be honest. 00:15:24.080 --> 00:15:27.259 I'm fully for going full Eric Cantona and kicking 00:15:27.259 --> 00:15:28.940 a fan in the head. If they say something racist, 00:15:29.019 --> 00:15:30.620 I don't have a problem with that. I would support 00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:33.899 new who in that instance, but you, you just can't 00:15:33.899 --> 00:15:36.299 let someone because go look at the replay of, 00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:39.600 Jordan Morris' goal. The entire crowd behind 00:15:39.600 --> 00:15:42.080 him is giving him the finger after he scores, 00:15:42.100 --> 00:15:45.419 if you watch that. It's insane. And he's not 00:15:45.419 --> 00:15:48.259 going over there and chucking balls at him. It's 00:15:48.259 --> 00:15:50.320 just, I mean, obviously a point of frustration. 00:15:50.720 --> 00:15:54.600 Cedar, where are you at on this? Yeah, I think, 00:15:54.700 --> 00:15:58.100 you know, you can't control other people's behavior, 00:15:58.320 --> 00:16:01.429 right? And especially if you're... I wouldn't 00:16:01.429 --> 00:16:03.289 know what it feels like to be a professional 00:16:03.289 --> 00:16:06.370 athlete and have people boo heckle you or, or, 00:16:06.389 --> 00:16:09.330 you know, throw the finger at you. But again, 00:16:09.470 --> 00:16:12.110 you, you can't control their behavior. All you 00:16:12.110 --> 00:16:14.389 can do is control your own behavior. And I think 00:16:14.389 --> 00:16:17.649 that, you know, it seems like the Sounders under 00:16:17.649 --> 00:16:21.049 Brian Schmetzer, he really, he really tries to 00:16:21.049 --> 00:16:24.669 set that standard that he, he got set upon him 00:16:24.669 --> 00:16:27.409 when he was a teenager, you know, at the club 00:16:27.409 --> 00:16:33.240 way back in the day. Of, you know, being a certain 00:16:33.240 --> 00:16:37.179 level of person in your conduct and being responsible. 00:16:37.399 --> 00:16:41.320 And I just don't see how Nuhu throwing a ball 00:16:41.320 --> 00:16:45.200 at a fan, which, you know, I mean, technically 00:16:45.200 --> 00:16:50.700 that's assault. It doesn't seem like that's not 00:16:50.700 --> 00:16:53.580 Sounders behavior. And, you know, he was away 00:16:53.580 --> 00:16:56.320 from the team too in that moment. The whole thing 00:16:56.320 --> 00:16:59.970 is just. It's unfortunate. That was weird. There 00:16:59.970 --> 00:17:02.429 was a couple sounders by him, but why were they 00:17:02.429 --> 00:17:05.470 way over there and not with the team? That was 00:17:05.470 --> 00:17:08.509 kind of weird. Right. It's like, dude, just focus 00:17:08.509 --> 00:17:11.750 on your team. Focus on the game. And it put us 00:17:11.750 --> 00:17:14.529 short staff for some really critical moments 00:17:14.529 --> 00:17:18.549 because Sporting KC had been putting us under 00:17:18.549 --> 00:17:21.390 pressure, and they were only down a goal. And 00:17:21.390 --> 00:17:23.789 then you take a man off the field, it makes it 00:17:23.789 --> 00:17:26.549 that much harder to close out. potentially a 00:17:26.549 --> 00:17:29.549 road win fortunately we did get it but it's just 00:17:29.549 --> 00:17:32.829 like oh man like what you know what are we doing 00:17:32.829 --> 00:17:35.710 what are we doing let's we gotta we gotta all 00:17:35.710 --> 00:17:38.029 behave as a team we gotta we gotta be together 00:17:38.029 --> 00:17:41.529 and and he was he was literally physically separate 00:17:41.529 --> 00:17:45.269 from everybody else and yeah it was it was disappointing 00:17:45.269 --> 00:17:48.769 to see um but hopefully hopefully it gets uh 00:17:48.769 --> 00:17:52.670 rectified and you know maybe he'll maybe he'll 00:17:53.340 --> 00:17:56.299 learn and not do it again i don't know but yeah 00:17:56.299 --> 00:17:59.619 it's it's uh it's frustrating for sure i was 00:17:59.619 --> 00:18:01.900 just watching footage of the brawl on the field 00:18:01.900 --> 00:18:04.839 at uh after at the club world cup final after 00:18:04.839 --> 00:18:08.559 the game ended where uh luis enrique the coach 00:18:08.559 --> 00:18:11.740 shoved gel pedro of chelsea because he was getting 00:18:11.740 --> 00:18:17.259 the face of uh dunorama dunorama and uh uh some 00:18:17.259 --> 00:18:20.660 other people but The way it went down, it looks 00:18:20.660 --> 00:18:24.259 like Luis Enrique. Yeah, he slapped him. He's 00:18:24.259 --> 00:18:28.740 been watching some slap boxing. Yeah, yeah. I 00:18:28.740 --> 00:18:31.400 can't imagine Schmetzer ever doing that, although 00:18:31.400 --> 00:18:33.380 there's probably some times I wish someone would 00:18:33.380 --> 00:18:38.319 have done that to a few opposing players. Yeah, 00:18:38.420 --> 00:18:42.059 I mean, what do you do with Nuhu at this point 00:18:42.059 --> 00:18:43.500 if you're Schmetzer? I mean, he said, we'll deal 00:18:43.500 --> 00:18:46.880 with it internally. See, the thing is, this isn't 00:18:46.880 --> 00:18:48.799 the first time. This isn't the second time. This 00:18:48.799 --> 00:18:50.720 isn't the third time. This isn't the fourth time. 00:18:50.740 --> 00:18:53.619 This is the seventh or eighth time that there's 00:18:53.619 --> 00:18:57.119 been NUHU issues of late over the last few years. 00:18:57.380 --> 00:18:59.319 And if you look at his whole career, even more. 00:18:59.740 --> 00:19:03.039 I know he doesn't have the support system that 00:19:03.039 --> 00:19:04.940 a lot of the other players have. He moved all 00:19:04.940 --> 00:19:09.319 the way across the world on his own. But it seems 00:19:09.319 --> 00:19:12.829 like... Because of that, and he feels like he's 00:19:12.829 --> 00:19:15.509 on his own, he's acting out in ways that aren't 00:19:15.509 --> 00:19:16.950 just going to not help the Sounders, aren't going 00:19:16.950 --> 00:19:20.069 to help his career. What's the next step for 00:19:20.069 --> 00:19:21.829 the Sounders here? What do you do if you're the 00:19:21.829 --> 00:19:26.119 coach? So since Jerry Epstein and Trump being 00:19:26.119 --> 00:19:30.359 on the client list is back in the news, I have 00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:32.839 a hot take or a conspiracy theory for everyone 00:19:32.839 --> 00:19:38.039 for the Sounders. And it goes like this. What 00:19:38.039 --> 00:19:40.799 we're seeing with New Who this year and last 00:19:40.799 --> 00:19:44.900 year in particular. So I think the team. I don't 00:19:44.900 --> 00:19:46.839 think anybody's going to disagree that with the 00:19:46.839 --> 00:19:49.940 fans, there has been some issues where maybe 00:19:49.940 --> 00:19:52.779 the vibes are down. That's whatever that means. 00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:54.960 I'm probably too old to be using that phrase, 00:19:55.059 --> 00:19:57.799 but I think the team itself is filling some of 00:19:57.799 --> 00:20:00.460 those vibe issues with the vibes being down. 00:20:00.559 --> 00:20:03.819 And I think new who here is the canary in the 00:20:03.819 --> 00:20:07.519 coal mine type of deal where. Every time we see 00:20:07.519 --> 00:20:10.460 this happen, it is where we're in a game state 00:20:10.460 --> 00:20:14.119 where things are pretty bad. In the Vancouver 00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:18.480 game, whenever he got that red card there, the 00:20:18.480 --> 00:20:23.759 diarrhea boys were taking it to us. So I think 00:20:23.759 --> 00:20:27.000 that what we're seeing with Nuhu is maybe a little 00:20:27.000 --> 00:20:28.799 bit of what's going on behind the scenes with 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:31.640 some of the team. there because I know there 00:20:31.640 --> 00:20:34.299 was some discontent reported last year with Raul 00:20:34.299 --> 00:20:37.119 or Nuhu too and that just didn't clear up over 00:20:37.119 --> 00:20:39.240 the offseason so that's my conspiracy theory 00:20:39.240 --> 00:20:42.519 was zero evidence whatsoever except for my gut 00:20:42.519 --> 00:20:44.359 but hey that's good enough for Kash Patel so 00:20:44.359 --> 00:20:51.200 it's good enough for me Cedar where you at on 00:20:51.200 --> 00:20:53.039 this like what are you doing if you're Schmetzer 00:20:53.039 --> 00:20:58.059 or the GM or how do you handle this and this 00:20:58.059 --> 00:21:01.089 is a different type of issue than some of the 00:21:01.089 --> 00:21:03.930 other petulantness we've seen from him because 00:21:03.930 --> 00:21:07.829 this is violent conduct, not just an on -the 00:21:07.829 --> 00:21:11.190 -field play where you kick someone in a stupid 00:21:11.190 --> 00:21:14.970 position or something. Yeah, that's to me where 00:21:14.970 --> 00:21:18.470 I'm really disappointed because it's one thing 00:21:18.470 --> 00:21:22.250 to have a reckless challenge against a fellow 00:21:22.250 --> 00:21:27.390 sporting competitor, but I think to cross that 00:21:27.390 --> 00:21:32.859 line and deliberately throw a soccer ball at 00:21:32.859 --> 00:21:37.579 a fan. I don't know. I mean, I haven't, I don't 00:21:37.579 --> 00:21:41.920 recall seeing really any incident like that in 00:21:41.920 --> 00:21:44.920 MLS in the past few years, or if ever, I know 00:21:44.920 --> 00:21:47.619 there have been many incidents in world football 00:21:47.619 --> 00:21:50.799 for sure, but I can't remember seeing that in 00:21:50.799 --> 00:21:56.099 this league. Yeah. It's, it's to me, that's, 00:21:56.099 --> 00:21:59.299 that's just not. that's not okay that's not the 00:21:59.299 --> 00:22:01.839 kind of behavior that we want to see out of anybody 00:22:01.839 --> 00:22:04.900 and especially not one of our own players um 00:22:04.900 --> 00:22:09.400 as for how it gets dealt with i i would be the 00:22:09.400 --> 00:22:12.059 worst person to ask i have no idea what kind 00:22:12.059 --> 00:22:16.099 of um uh you know i don't know what kind of the 00:22:16.099 --> 00:22:19.500 the disciplinary kind of culture um a head coach 00:22:19.500 --> 00:22:24.680 would have to does actually cultivate in moments 00:22:24.680 --> 00:22:27.519 like that. But, you know, for the most part, 00:22:27.619 --> 00:22:31.500 I trust Brian in terms of how he runs the team. 00:22:31.579 --> 00:22:36.019 So I'm sure he's got his own ideas that he's 00:22:36.019 --> 00:22:38.900 probably already enacting. So, you know, other 00:22:38.900 --> 00:22:41.579 than that, it's, you know, if Nuhu gets suspended 00:22:41.579 --> 00:22:43.619 by the league, the team gets fine, Nuhu gets 00:22:43.619 --> 00:22:46.940 fine. I mean, it'll be next man up, obviously. 00:22:48.399 --> 00:22:50.980 I like Reed Baker Whiting. I like what he brings 00:22:50.980 --> 00:22:53.160 to the team. So I'm excited to see him get more 00:22:53.160 --> 00:22:55.960 playing time. And yeah, it's just unfortunate. 00:22:55.980 --> 00:23:00.599 I hope that New Who is able to get back into 00:23:00.599 --> 00:23:03.000 the good graces of the team and the fan base 00:23:03.000 --> 00:23:09.680 and be the best version of himself that we know 00:23:09.680 --> 00:23:11.720 he can be. I mean, we all know what his potential 00:23:11.720 --> 00:23:16.220 is. insane amounts of potential. And I think 00:23:16.220 --> 00:23:18.220 that's really the frustrating part too, is like, 00:23:18.259 --> 00:23:20.500 we know how great of a guy he is. We all like 00:23:20.500 --> 00:23:23.819 new who, and we all know how good of a soccer 00:23:23.819 --> 00:23:26.839 player he can be. And right now, you know, both 00:23:26.839 --> 00:23:30.960 are like, you know, and both are down, like clearly 00:23:30.960 --> 00:23:33.839 he's not in a good spot and it's tough to see 00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.200 somebody, you know, struggling with their mental 00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:40.039 health, emotional health, all of that. So it's, 00:23:40.039 --> 00:23:42.950 it's just like, all right, hopefully. He's able 00:23:42.950 --> 00:23:46.549 to get things right. And, you know, things will 00:23:46.549 --> 00:23:48.109 be better moving forward. That's what I would 00:23:48.109 --> 00:23:54.390 hope for. I mean, he's such a good player that 00:23:54.390 --> 00:23:57.849 you can't have a player of his caliber that is 00:23:57.849 --> 00:24:00.069 going to get kicked out of the game every other 00:24:00.069 --> 00:24:04.390 game. Right? Like, you need, it's better to have 00:24:04.390 --> 00:24:05.990 someone who's not as good if you know they're 00:24:05.990 --> 00:24:08.049 going to be able to play the entire time at this 00:24:08.049 --> 00:24:12.130 point. Alex. Contract ends at the end of this 00:24:12.130 --> 00:24:13.829 year. They have a club option for next year. 00:24:14.029 --> 00:24:15.769 Do you think this affects that at all? Do you 00:24:15.769 --> 00:24:18.130 think this is just a bump in the road? Or are 00:24:18.130 --> 00:24:19.650 the Sounders rethinking about what they're going 00:24:19.650 --> 00:24:21.410 to do moving forward here and whether they're 00:24:21.410 --> 00:24:23.549 going to exercise the club option on them for 00:24:23.549 --> 00:24:27.910 2026? I think it doesn't help his case for the 00:24:27.910 --> 00:24:31.130 club to exercise their option. I mean, if he's 00:24:31.130 --> 00:24:36.029 bringing bad publicity to the club, it tarnishes 00:24:36.029 --> 00:24:39.220 their reputation. It just, it isn't a good look. 00:24:39.339 --> 00:24:41.079 It isn't a good look for the club. It isn't a 00:24:41.079 --> 00:24:44.200 good look for the league. And apparently, I guess 00:24:44.200 --> 00:24:49.299 the fan is going to press charges on Nuhu. So 00:24:49.299 --> 00:24:53.460 it's just, I think the fan is going to press 00:24:53.460 --> 00:25:00.319 charges on Nuhu. That's what I heard. I mean, 00:25:00.339 --> 00:25:03.140 I'm sure he can because it is outside the bounds 00:25:03.140 --> 00:25:05.720 of playing the game, but goodness gracious, that 00:25:05.720 --> 00:25:09.240 just seems like a short -sighted thing to do. 00:25:09.359 --> 00:25:16.759 His response was over the top, but come on. You 00:25:16.759 --> 00:25:19.279 did something to provoke it, right? You're not 00:25:19.279 --> 00:25:23.279 innocent in this. I mean, sure, you did what 00:25:23.279 --> 00:25:26.339 the fan got under his skin enough. And like I 00:25:26.339 --> 00:25:28.380 said, if it comes out that something else was 00:25:28.380 --> 00:25:30.200 said and there was something else that happened, 00:25:30.279 --> 00:25:32.019 but I feel like Schmetzer would have said that 00:25:32.019 --> 00:25:33.779 first thing if that was the case, and we would 00:25:33.779 --> 00:25:35.539 have already got a notice from the league saying 00:25:35.539 --> 00:25:39.359 they're looking at an incident involving racism, 00:25:39.460 --> 00:25:40.599 because that's what we see when these things 00:25:40.599 --> 00:25:45.559 happen. And I think if Nuhu... Well, then can 00:25:45.559 --> 00:25:50.460 Roldan go back and retroactively charge their 00:25:50.460 --> 00:25:52.839 goalie for body slamming him? That was not a 00:25:52.839 --> 00:25:54.299 soccer move. It was during the games, though. 00:25:57.230 --> 00:25:59.369 So was this. Actually, the play was stopped. 00:25:59.569 --> 00:26:02.589 Wasn't it the VAR check? Or was it a cooling 00:26:02.589 --> 00:26:05.769 break? It was a penalty. No, it was a penalty. 00:26:05.910 --> 00:26:07.809 It was after the penalty. But yeah, I mean, it 00:26:07.809 --> 00:26:14.690 was still part of the game. Yeah, I guess we 00:26:14.690 --> 00:26:16.769 need those now. I don't know why the Kansas City 00:26:16.769 --> 00:26:19.150 fans are so mad. I mean, they love professional 00:26:19.150 --> 00:26:21.730 wrestling so much. This is straight out of... 00:26:22.140 --> 00:26:24.740 Something that you would see in WWE or wrestling 00:26:24.740 --> 00:26:30.940 now is some fan engagement and interaction. I 00:26:30.940 --> 00:26:33.059 just watched the video. The ball got thrown in 00:26:33.059 --> 00:26:35.200 the stands, bounced up in the air, and somebody 00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:40.440 behind him caught it. I mean, it's not fun to 00:26:40.440 --> 00:26:42.140 get hit in the head with the ball, right? I got 00:26:42.140 --> 00:26:44.000 a concussion earlier this year, so I don't recommend 00:26:44.000 --> 00:26:47.519 it. But yeah, Cedar, what were you saying? Oh, 00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:52.380 I wasn't saying anything. Sorry. I'm not here 00:26:52.380 --> 00:26:56.960 to speak. What are you talking about? Yeah. I 00:26:56.960 --> 00:27:00.559 mean, so what do you think happens? Is this a 00:27:00.559 --> 00:27:04.759 three -game ban and then, you know, he does whatever 00:27:04.759 --> 00:27:06.500 penance he needs to do behind the scenes and 00:27:06.500 --> 00:27:09.319 he's back out there? Is this Reed steals his 00:27:09.319 --> 00:27:12.200 job like we thought might happen if the PSG match 00:27:12.200 --> 00:27:13.920 hadn't fallen on his birthday? I don't know. 00:27:14.539 --> 00:27:17.660 Is this, you know? What happens here now? Isn't 00:27:17.660 --> 00:27:20.259 this new who's job or might he lose this? How 00:27:20.259 --> 00:27:21.819 does he go? How do you put him back on the pitch? 00:27:21.819 --> 00:27:24.259 Yeah, I agree with Dan. I don't, if I'm a coach, 00:27:24.319 --> 00:27:25.819 I'm not putting a player out there without a 00:27:25.819 --> 00:27:28.559 serious consequences. He's got to sit a few matches. 00:27:31.759 --> 00:27:34.299 I mean, Reed is, is out next match too, right? 00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:36.519 Since he got, didn't he get a second yellow in 00:27:36.519 --> 00:27:38.819 the match? No, did he just, no, he just got that. 00:27:38.859 --> 00:27:40.859 He didn't get it on the, that was last week. 00:27:41.119 --> 00:27:42.819 See, it's so hard to keep track with all the 00:27:42.819 --> 00:27:49.619 rest. That was AKR. Yeah. So who's going to get 00:27:49.619 --> 00:27:51.160 the next red card? Who are we putting money on? 00:27:54.599 --> 00:27:56.980 I mean, it's guaranteed at this point we're going 00:27:56.980 --> 00:27:58.819 to get one at least. Maybe not next match. I 00:27:58.819 --> 00:28:00.539 think Jackson will get the next one. I say Thomas. 00:28:00.759 --> 00:28:06.599 I think Jackson. Oh, I bet you Christian. I would 00:28:06.599 --> 00:28:09.180 say Christian. He's probably due. He got bailed 00:28:09.180 --> 00:28:12.180 out the last time. Well, how much are we putting 00:28:12.180 --> 00:28:15.529 on this? Because I'm excited now. I'll go with 00:28:15.529 --> 00:28:20.309 Thomas. So, hey, we all, you, Cedar's got Christian. 00:28:21.750 --> 00:28:25.509 And then who did you have? I got Jackson. Alex, 00:28:25.609 --> 00:28:28.410 you got Jackson? Okay, yeah. We put 10 on it. 00:28:28.430 --> 00:28:31.910 The winner walks out with the money. I like it. 00:28:32.049 --> 00:28:34.970 I like it. Honestly, I mean, Nicholas should 00:28:34.970 --> 00:28:38.619 put this. as you know one of the one of the categories 00:28:38.619 --> 00:28:41.079 in the will there be a red prediction yes like 00:28:41.079 --> 00:28:43.599 an over under on like yellow cards will there 00:28:43.599 --> 00:28:49.240 be a red yeah will there be a red you get a point 00:28:49.240 --> 00:28:52.140 you know if you're right i certainly was wrong 00:28:52.140 --> 00:28:54.259 with my one one prediction this week although 00:28:54.259 --> 00:29:02.019 i guess i took one one yeah I came on the show 00:29:02.019 --> 00:29:04.240 last week and was talking about it's going to 00:29:04.240 --> 00:29:06.519 be 3 -1, and then I put 1 -1 when I filled out 00:29:06.519 --> 00:29:10.359 my form. I was wrong both ways. It was 3 -2. 00:29:13.140 --> 00:29:18.000 I think, Dan, you were the closest, right? No, 00:29:18.140 --> 00:29:20.259 I don't know ball. I have no ball knowledge. 00:29:23.420 --> 00:29:26.519 I feel like with the Sounders, it's hard to tell. 00:29:26.619 --> 00:29:28.400 All right, let's finish up this match and then 00:29:28.400 --> 00:29:31.990 take a break here. 3 -2 seemed like a tale of 00:29:31.990 --> 00:29:33.650 two halves. Dominate the first half and just 00:29:33.650 --> 00:29:35.710 hold on in that second half. Of course, both 00:29:35.710 --> 00:29:38.710 goals were penalties. Did you see other goals 00:29:38.710 --> 00:29:41.789 coming for them? Or do you think that it was 00:29:41.789 --> 00:29:44.410 just tactical errors and the Sounders that led 00:29:44.410 --> 00:29:45.789 to those penalties and really we should have 00:29:45.789 --> 00:29:48.130 finished that game 3 -0? No, I mean, I want to 00:29:48.130 --> 00:29:50.950 give credit to Alex for his save that he had 00:29:50.950 --> 00:29:54.849 that he cramped right after. That save saved 00:29:54.849 --> 00:30:02.480 us two points. For sure. And it was awkward enough 00:30:02.480 --> 00:30:05.519 that you saw, was it Jovalich? One of those players 00:30:05.519 --> 00:30:07.980 on the other team run up to him immediately and 00:30:07.980 --> 00:30:09.500 check on him because of how awkward it was. I 00:30:09.500 --> 00:30:10.839 was like, oh, don't tell me he did his knee. 00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:12.700 I was like, don't tell me he did something to 00:30:12.700 --> 00:30:16.180 his knee. It looked gnarly, but it was just like 00:30:16.180 --> 00:30:22.579 he saved it with the tip of his cleat. Well, 00:30:22.700 --> 00:30:25.299 I've never seen somebody move their body like 00:30:25.299 --> 00:30:28.559 that. The way he did. I've never seen anybody 00:30:28.559 --> 00:30:30.440 do that. I think we can make the assumption that 00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:36.460 he's been going to yoga with his wife. Well, 00:30:36.579 --> 00:30:38.440 probably a lot of these guys do it. It's good 00:30:38.440 --> 00:30:42.460 for you. Otherwise, you're going to break something. 00:30:43.440 --> 00:30:46.380 Not only did he save two points, he also saved 00:30:46.380 --> 00:30:48.200 the fan base from probably one of the largest 00:30:48.200 --> 00:30:51.339 crash outs. Could you imagine? how upset people 00:30:51.339 --> 00:30:54.599 would be if we drew that game at 3 -3. Being 00:30:54.599 --> 00:30:58.160 up 3 -0, I would have crashed down. It would 00:30:58.160 --> 00:31:00.779 have felt like that Mariners game where they 00:31:00.779 --> 00:31:04.119 blew it the other day when we were recording. 00:31:04.259 --> 00:31:07.480 It turns out that Munoz was tipping pitches and 00:31:07.480 --> 00:31:09.619 the Yankees figured that out, which is why they 00:31:09.619 --> 00:31:13.299 blew him up. That's typical Mariners. They start 00:31:13.299 --> 00:31:15.039 off good and then at the end of the game you 00:31:15.039 --> 00:31:19.369 look and they lost. They just destroyed Detroit 00:31:19.369 --> 00:31:24.809 three games since then. Yeah, we'll always lose 00:31:24.809 --> 00:31:28.869 to the Yankees, right? Except for 1995. And we'll 00:31:28.869 --> 00:31:32.269 play down to the really bad teams, but then somehow 00:31:32.269 --> 00:31:35.329 we'll beat the best team in baseball and look 00:31:35.329 --> 00:31:36.589 incredible. And then we'll get a rough patch. 00:31:37.309 --> 00:31:40.829 And then we're all crawling into the playoffs. 00:31:40.829 --> 00:31:45.180 Big shout out. To Cole Palmer, who Trump showed 00:31:45.180 --> 00:31:47.759 up to celebrate the championship with Chelsea, 00:31:47.960 --> 00:31:50.440 and then you see a video of Cole Palmer being 00:31:50.440 --> 00:31:52.599 like, why is Trump here? He's like, get this 00:31:52.599 --> 00:31:57.859 guy out of here. Yeah, basically. Why is Infantino 00:31:57.859 --> 00:32:03.339 trying to take him off when he didn't move? He's 00:32:03.339 --> 00:32:07.440 Trump. Hey, somebody let Trump take a free kick. 00:32:08.000 --> 00:32:09.799 Just let him kick the ball. I just want to see 00:32:09.799 --> 00:32:11.299 him kick the ball. He can't walk up airplane 00:32:11.299 --> 00:32:14.819 steps. He might get a hard attack. Hit a PK. 00:32:16.000 --> 00:32:18.059 Let's get him on the crossbar challenge at halftime. 00:32:21.579 --> 00:32:25.279 That is a tough one, hitting it off the crossbar. 00:32:25.500 --> 00:32:27.500 I will say that. I've always wanted to see him 00:32:27.500 --> 00:32:32.140 try to run five feet. He's going to say, I won't 00:32:32.140 --> 00:32:38.750 run five feet, but I'll run for office. So one 00:32:38.750 --> 00:32:41.150 last thing. I kind of had questions for everybody 00:32:41.150 --> 00:32:43.170 else about this game. Something that I picked 00:32:43.170 --> 00:32:45.230 up on and I was thinking, and so I was wondering, 00:32:45.269 --> 00:32:47.410 at the end of the game, we looked absolutely 00:32:47.410 --> 00:32:50.470 gassed. And I know the weather was in the 80s, 00:32:50.470 --> 00:32:53.109 70 % humidity. And we got a bunch of Seattle 00:32:53.109 --> 00:32:55.710 boys as in like, hey, we live in Seattle, but 00:32:55.710 --> 00:32:59.529 half these guys grew up in Seattle anyway. And 00:32:59.529 --> 00:33:02.670 we looked gassed. I thought there at the end, 00:33:02.710 --> 00:33:06.170 before the last PK, there was a sequence where 00:33:06.170 --> 00:33:09.329 Christian started stretching his calf in the 00:33:09.329 --> 00:33:12.769 middle, waving at the sidelines. The ball goes 00:33:12.769 --> 00:33:15.450 out and he doesn't get taken off. And, you know, 00:33:15.509 --> 00:33:17.470 the camera's not following around Brian or Christian, 00:33:17.529 --> 00:33:19.369 so I can't really see. But, you know, it went 00:33:19.369 --> 00:33:20.769 back to Christian and he's still on the pitch. 00:33:20.910 --> 00:33:23.400 And I was like. Why didn't we take him off at 00:33:23.400 --> 00:33:26.059 that time? And then right after that is when 00:33:26.059 --> 00:33:28.099 that weird sequence happened where he just tried 00:33:28.099 --> 00:33:30.799 to follow the ball like he was fouled. And then 00:33:30.799 --> 00:33:34.099 off of the, you know, he didn't get the call 00:33:34.099 --> 00:33:36.299 and then the ball bounced into the penalty box. 00:33:36.619 --> 00:33:39.039 And so was y 'all seeing some fatigue that like, 00:33:39.079 --> 00:33:40.839 hey, our midfield probably should have got rotated 00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:44.180 out there in the 80, 85th minute? Or was y 'all 00:33:44.180 --> 00:33:46.700 happy with letting them write it out and taking 00:33:46.700 --> 00:33:50.759 a chance? I'm not sure if you noticed that. Christian 00:33:50.759 --> 00:33:53.900 cut his socks. He had two big holes on the back 00:33:53.900 --> 00:33:56.779 of his socks. Normally, players do that to relieve 00:33:56.779 --> 00:33:59.759 compression and pressure from the socks. I think 00:33:59.759 --> 00:34:02.640 that he's either battling shin splints or fatigue. 00:34:03.960 --> 00:34:07.720 As I was saying in the Discord, join the Discord, 00:34:07.900 --> 00:34:10.579 is that we should have subbed him off around 00:34:10.579 --> 00:34:13.280 the 60th minute just to give us rest. We were 00:34:13.280 --> 00:34:18.300 up 3 -0. That's when we have to be rotating. 00:34:20.739 --> 00:34:23.000 I mean, who are you rotating in at that point, 00:34:23.079 --> 00:34:25.559 though? I mean, we were deep at that position, 00:34:25.679 --> 00:34:27.820 but now with JP out, who would have been next 00:34:27.820 --> 00:34:32.199 in line, I mean, it's Danny, right? You move 00:34:32.199 --> 00:34:34.780 Riosnack into a deeper midfield role, then you 00:34:34.780 --> 00:34:39.019 put in someone that can play the 10. Yeah. I 00:34:39.019 --> 00:34:40.780 mean, we did see last year when Schmetzer would 00:34:40.780 --> 00:34:42.739 do this late in matches, it came back to bite 00:34:42.739 --> 00:34:45.800 us, but that was, of course, Atencio and Danny 00:34:45.800 --> 00:34:48.420 that were coming in, including in the Heritage 00:34:48.420 --> 00:34:51.920 Cup. where we were moments away from winning 00:34:51.920 --> 00:34:53.719 the Heritage Cup, and instead I had to go give 00:34:53.719 --> 00:34:58.559 it to San Jose in the locker room. Oh, boy. And 00:34:58.559 --> 00:35:01.760 Wednesday is the next match in that Heritage 00:35:01.760 --> 00:35:04.800 Cup. If the Sounders win, we'll present it to 00:35:04.800 --> 00:35:07.340 the captain on the field. Otherwise, back to 00:35:07.340 --> 00:35:09.500 the locker room. I don't even remember, what 00:35:09.500 --> 00:35:11.460 did we do down there in the opening match? I'll 00:35:11.460 --> 00:35:15.460 look that up while Cedar says what's happening. 00:35:18.000 --> 00:35:20.199 What am I saying? What's happening? What's going 00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:28.519 on? The subs. Yeah. Look, I mean, Christian runs 00:35:28.519 --> 00:35:33.039 his ass off every single game. So I feel like 00:35:33.039 --> 00:35:39.500 it's not like you're going to fully. I don't 00:35:39.500 --> 00:35:40.960 feel like we're at the point where you're like, 00:35:41.039 --> 00:35:43.000 oh, let's give him a whole game off or anything 00:35:43.000 --> 00:35:45.719 like that. But I mean, give the man some rest. 00:35:46.000 --> 00:35:48.380 So I wouldn't mind seeing Danny out there more. 00:35:48.480 --> 00:35:52.360 I forgot before he got subbed on. I like forgot 00:35:52.360 --> 00:35:54.800 he was on the team, you know, this past game. 00:35:54.880 --> 00:35:56.860 I was like, oh, yeah, there's Danny Leyva. I 00:35:56.860 --> 00:35:58.840 haven't seen him in like, you know, a fucking 00:35:58.840 --> 00:36:03.179 year. So last year he was good, right? Like he 00:36:03.179 --> 00:36:06.880 had some really good player. We cannot. replicate 00:36:06.880 --> 00:36:09.519 with any other player yeah he's a good player 00:36:09.519 --> 00:36:11.639 and you know he's hungry to play well i mean 00:36:11.639 --> 00:36:14.079 put him out there he's gonna run his ass off 00:36:14.079 --> 00:36:17.920 and yeah if christian needs some i mean the last 00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:21.440 thing we would need is for christian to you know 00:36:21.440 --> 00:36:23.719 pull a calf or a hammy or something knock on 00:36:23.719 --> 00:36:26.079 wood you know and that's that's what happens 00:36:26.079 --> 00:36:29.500 when people are really really gassed so yeah 00:36:29.500 --> 00:36:32.940 i i don't know i mean this has been this has 00:36:32.940 --> 00:36:37.280 been a topic of conversation Ever since Brian 00:36:37.280 --> 00:36:40.019 took over being head coach, it's his substitution 00:36:40.019 --> 00:36:43.840 patterns. I don't know. He's going to do what 00:36:43.840 --> 00:36:46.380 he wants to do and what he feels is the right 00:36:46.380 --> 00:36:49.980 thing to do. There's nothing that we say that 00:36:49.980 --> 00:36:54.380 will change that. It's definitely a little puzzling 00:36:54.380 --> 00:37:00.260 at times. Game down in San Jose was 1 -1. Rusnak 00:37:00.260 --> 00:37:02.920 hitting an 80th minute goal from the right wing. 00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:08.179 to tie that match. Noting now that the Quakes 00:37:08.179 --> 00:37:11.340 all -time against Sounders, this is MLS era, 00:37:11.539 --> 00:37:20.820 15 -15 -11. But since 2021 in all competitions, 00:37:20.980 --> 00:37:23.340 they are 5 -0 -3, so they have not lost to us 00:37:23.340 --> 00:37:29.139 in eight matches. So it's quite surprising. I've 00:37:29.139 --> 00:37:30.579 been at a few of those matches where we were 00:37:30.579 --> 00:37:33.559 winning late and then blew it. either making 00:37:33.559 --> 00:37:37.280 it be a tie or a loss down in San Jose last year. 00:37:38.480 --> 00:37:43.019 So it'll be interesting to see. Heritage Cup, 00:37:43.239 --> 00:37:46.360 both Seattle's won it eight times. San Jose's 00:37:46.360 --> 00:37:50.219 won it nine times. Oh, no, also eight. So San 00:37:50.219 --> 00:37:52.579 Jose's aiming to keep it for a fourth consecutive 00:37:52.579 --> 00:37:56.460 year. We'll find out on Wednesday. If it's a 00:37:56.460 --> 00:37:59.119 tie game and it's higher than 1 -1. San Jose 00:37:59.119 --> 00:38:02.039 gets it if the Sounders win or it's a 0 -0 tie. 00:38:03.019 --> 00:38:08.800 It's coming home. It's coming home. It's the 00:38:08.800 --> 00:38:10.639 one we've all been waiting for. This is the one 00:38:10.639 --> 00:38:13.659 poker we're going to win this year. Wait, is 00:38:13.659 --> 00:38:18.599 it just us and San Jose? It is right now. That's 00:38:18.599 --> 00:38:22.519 not the plan long term. So the deal is the Heritage 00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:25.539 Cup is a trophy that celebrates teams that played 00:38:25.539 --> 00:38:29.400 in the NASL. and Vancouver and Portland both 00:38:29.400 --> 00:38:31.360 turned down the opportunity to be a part of it 00:38:31.360 --> 00:38:33.340 because we already had the Cascadia Cup. So they 00:38:33.340 --> 00:38:36.940 were like, it's just Cascadia Cup plus San Jose. 00:38:37.219 --> 00:38:40.519 But I think that was short -sighted because there's 00:38:40.519 --> 00:38:42.619 other teams out there that exist. And so we're 00:38:42.619 --> 00:38:45.480 probably in the years coming forward as we've 00:38:45.480 --> 00:38:49.500 formed a nonprofit, and it's going to be a 501c3 00:38:49.500 --> 00:38:53.130 around this. there will be the opportunity to 00:38:53.130 --> 00:38:56.690 add cities that had, so we may not see this same 00:38:56.690 --> 00:38:59.309 team name, but cities that were in ASL teams 00:38:59.309 --> 00:39:02.690 we can add into the process. I don't think that's 00:39:02.690 --> 00:39:04.789 finalized because we have to vote on it, but 00:39:04.789 --> 00:39:07.269 that's my feeling is we may see San Diego join. 00:39:07.409 --> 00:39:11.369 We may see potentially one of the LA teams, Minnesota 00:39:11.369 --> 00:39:17.110 teams like that may come into the fold and try 00:39:17.110 --> 00:39:20.690 for this cup of. celebrating the NASL heritage 00:39:20.690 --> 00:39:27.230 of our soccer teams and the league. Yes, exactly. 00:39:27.630 --> 00:39:30.690 I'm not old enough to have attended. I guess 00:39:30.690 --> 00:39:32.210 I am technically old enough to have attended 00:39:32.210 --> 00:39:35.869 a match, but I don't think I ever did. That's 00:39:35.869 --> 00:39:39.969 cool because if that becomes more of a thing, 00:39:40.070 --> 00:39:43.059 just like I asked, like, oh, who's in it? begs 00:39:43.059 --> 00:39:45.219 the conversation like, oh, yeah, these are the 00:39:45.219 --> 00:39:48.139 teams, these are the cities that have that heritage, 00:39:48.380 --> 00:39:52.139 literally, of NASL. Yeah, absolutely. And then 00:39:52.139 --> 00:39:54.659 you get to talking about it. That's cool. Yeah, 00:39:54.699 --> 00:39:58.260 and Portland and Vancouver can join later, but 00:39:58.260 --> 00:40:01.400 I think maybe they need to be punished a little 00:40:01.400 --> 00:40:05.460 bit and not be allowed in until last. So we will 00:40:05.460 --> 00:40:08.579 see. Did you get your question answered there, 00:40:08.659 --> 00:40:13.739 Dan? Yeah. that was it my i at in my thoughts 00:40:13.739 --> 00:40:17.099 at the moment was oh god christian is is hurting 00:40:17.099 --> 00:40:19.539 he we just did to christian what we did to morris 00:40:19.539 --> 00:40:21.800 earlier in the year so that's that's always one 00:40:21.800 --> 00:40:26.820 of my fears i mean if a cramp if it's cramping 00:40:26.820 --> 00:40:29.699 though you know like he's going to be okay number 00:40:29.699 --> 00:40:31.860 one and number two he can waste time by going 00:40:31.860 --> 00:40:34.480 down right i just didn't know at the time if 00:40:34.480 --> 00:40:36.900 it was cramping if he had popped his calf or 00:40:36.900 --> 00:40:39.900 his hamstring as he's stretching you know i I 00:40:39.900 --> 00:40:43.179 just didn't know. Oh, Alex, I thought maybe Tor. 00:40:43.460 --> 00:40:50.380 He did that. An accounting note, though, we actually 00:40:50.380 --> 00:40:55.880 play Colorado this Wednesday. Oh, sorry. I switched 00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:00.500 the two games. Colorado is Wednesday and San 00:41:00.500 --> 00:41:04.440 Jose is Saturday. It is throwback week, of course. 00:41:04.440 --> 00:41:06.340 On Saturday, I have a chance to see the Heritage 00:41:06.340 --> 00:41:10.579 Cup. So you're saying there's a chance? Maybe 00:41:10.579 --> 00:41:16.860 you're saying there's a chance. Absolutely. No, 00:41:16.920 --> 00:41:18.880 I think we've seen enough to duck 10 points from 00:41:18.880 --> 00:41:28.239 Everton. That's good. Wait, so are we all in 00:41:28.239 --> 00:41:31.539 agreement on the... I thought that first penalty 00:41:31.539 --> 00:41:34.119 for Sporting Kansas City, I thought it was kind 00:41:34.119 --> 00:41:38.599 of weak. I did too. That was the moose kill. 00:41:39.099 --> 00:41:44.360 Oh, the moose one? Yeah. I watched, what was 00:41:44.360 --> 00:41:50.019 the second one? Who fell, the peddler? No. Who 00:41:50.019 --> 00:41:53.139 was it? Was it RBW? Yeah, Rebecca Whitey. One 00:41:53.139 --> 00:41:55.340 of them, now I've got them backwards. One of 00:41:55.340 --> 00:41:57.019 them was weak, and the other one looked weak, 00:41:57.059 --> 00:41:58.579 and then when you rewatched it, he just straight 00:41:58.579 --> 00:42:05.789 up took out his legs. I think, so as... As somebody 00:42:05.789 --> 00:42:08.170 that's new to soccer and, of course, from Texas 00:42:08.170 --> 00:42:11.409 and grew up with football, if I have one complaint, 00:42:11.610 --> 00:42:14.170 now that I understand the offside rule, if I 00:42:14.170 --> 00:42:16.949 have one complaint, it is players going down 00:42:16.949 --> 00:42:20.329 with just the most minute touch. And, like, yeah, 00:42:20.389 --> 00:42:24.489 I think Danny hit his leg, but he didn't have 00:42:24.489 --> 00:42:27.409 to go down. It wasn't he was knocked down. He 00:42:27.409 --> 00:42:30.670 fell down after filling contact. And, no, just 00:42:30.670 --> 00:42:33.190 the sports that I grew up playing, that's some 00:42:33.190 --> 00:42:35.760 bitch -ass shit, man. Stand up and play. But 00:42:35.760 --> 00:42:38.340 that's the game. They got a PK and a point out 00:42:38.340 --> 00:42:43.739 of it. Welcome to soccer. Yeah. Yeah, you can 00:42:43.739 --> 00:42:47.019 thank the Brazilians. Neymar. Neymar specifically. 00:42:48.900 --> 00:42:51.360 Yeah. Well, here's the thing. The refs are supposed 00:42:51.360 --> 00:42:53.699 to be calling that, and they often will just 00:42:53.699 --> 00:42:56.780 not call it a foul when really they need to start 00:42:56.780 --> 00:43:01.210 giving cards for simulation. It's on the rule 00:43:01.210 --> 00:43:03.030 book. It's on the rule book, but then again, 00:43:03.050 --> 00:43:05.449 it's at the discretion of the ref, and that's 00:43:05.449 --> 00:43:08.250 where the issue is. Right, but you start doing 00:43:08.250 --> 00:43:09.929 that, you're going to see a lot less diving. 00:43:10.150 --> 00:43:14.250 I mean, Josie Altidore dove more than anybody 00:43:14.250 --> 00:43:17.090 in the history of sports, except for Manu Ginobili, 00:43:17.170 --> 00:43:21.809 maybe. Josie's a big dude. He is a big dude, 00:43:21.849 --> 00:43:25.369 but if the wind hit him, he would blow over like 00:43:25.369 --> 00:43:29.000 he was this tiny little thing. uh it drove me 00:43:29.000 --> 00:43:34.500 crazy so i don't know it's it's it is an interesting 00:43:34.500 --> 00:43:38.380 thing i i don't know i just it just looked like 00:43:38.380 --> 00:43:41.519 danny like sidled up to him like yeah there was 00:43:41.519 --> 00:43:44.159 contact but it wasn't like he tackled him from 00:43:44.159 --> 00:43:47.519 behind or anything yeah i thought it was i'd 00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:49.159 have to re -watch it because when i did watch 00:43:49.159 --> 00:43:52.460 a clip again it seemed pretty good uh i mean 00:43:52.460 --> 00:43:55.429 it seemed like it was a penalty but I don't know 00:43:55.429 --> 00:43:57.710 that it was the first time I watched it. And 00:43:57.710 --> 00:44:01.050 the second one was, Reeds was, once they showed 00:44:01.050 --> 00:44:03.710 it again. It was like, oh, yeah, Reeds is fair. 00:44:05.989 --> 00:44:11.090 Here's what I'm asking for. If Danny and Reeds 00:44:11.090 --> 00:44:13.610 was both penalties, then how come it wasn't a 00:44:13.610 --> 00:44:17.710 penalty with Obed in the box? It was pretty much 00:44:17.710 --> 00:44:19.969 the same thing. Obed kind of slows down his run 00:44:19.969 --> 00:44:22.679 a little bit. forces the contact from behind, 00:44:22.820 --> 00:44:24.960 and then goes down after receiving the contact. 00:44:25.440 --> 00:44:29.239 So if that's not a penalty, then the other two 00:44:29.239 --> 00:44:31.679 should have been penalties. Yellow for simulation 00:44:31.679 --> 00:44:36.619 on Obed. That's what we would get. Seriously. 00:44:39.219 --> 00:44:40.559 It's a red for simulation. We don't get those 00:44:40.559 --> 00:44:48.800 calls. Oh my God. Oh, also every time they cut 00:44:48.800 --> 00:44:52.699 to Danny Masovsky, like in a closeup of his face 00:44:52.699 --> 00:44:54.739 during a game, I swear to God, he reminds me 00:44:54.739 --> 00:44:58.619 so much of Napoleon dynamite. Yeah. Oh yeah. 00:44:59.159 --> 00:45:01.320 Oh my God. Anyone was not, you're right. The 00:45:01.320 --> 00:45:03.500 Danny one was, was the one that was not the penalty. 00:45:03.619 --> 00:45:05.260 Like that was a ridiculous call. You can see 00:45:05.260 --> 00:45:07.400 his face reaction after he knew what he did. 00:45:07.940 --> 00:45:14.110 He's like, fuck. He looks just like Napoleon 00:45:14.110 --> 00:45:16.889 Dynamite, his mouth kind of open there. I don't 00:45:16.889 --> 00:45:21.530 know. He does. Reid was the one that was clearly 00:45:21.530 --> 00:45:25.230 a penalty. Yeah, Reid tripped the attacker. He 00:45:25.230 --> 00:45:29.210 hit his knee and knocked him over, basically. 00:45:29.909 --> 00:45:38.339 Yeah, I mean, it's a rough one for Danny. You 00:45:38.339 --> 00:45:40.219 can't put yourself in that position, especially 00:45:40.219 --> 00:45:41.920 as a forward. What are you doing defending in 00:45:41.920 --> 00:45:46.199 your own box? That's Brian Smith's ball. No, 00:45:46.320 --> 00:45:47.699 you don't see forwards back that far. Jordan 00:45:47.699 --> 00:45:52.519 was back there. They do defend, but not usually 00:45:52.519 --> 00:45:54.639 back that far. Well, that's because, what, our 00:45:54.639 --> 00:45:56.780 defense isn't good enough? Get some good defense. 00:45:56.780 --> 00:45:58.119 We've got to worry about getting a nine first. 00:46:01.280 --> 00:46:04.000 Yeah, true, true. Let's take a break. Let's listen 00:46:04.000 --> 00:46:25.989 to the Patreon ad, and we'll be right back. Hey, 00:46:26.010 --> 00:46:27.829 everybody.

We talked about it last episode. 00:48:15.489 --> 00:48:16.989 We've got to do some more Patreon stuff coming 00:48:16.989 --> 00:48:19.829 up here, but I think we can have some fun stuff 00:48:19.829 --> 00:48:21.750 going on. The next two matches are at home, though, 00:48:21.789 --> 00:48:24.150 so I don't think we can record live from them. 00:48:24.349 --> 00:48:27.110 You know what would be fun is to... do a day 00:48:27.110 --> 00:48:29.030 in the life where you just carry like a little 00:48:29.030 --> 00:48:31.789 GoPro with you around and film what it's like 00:48:31.789 --> 00:48:35.090 to go sit with ECS. Alex, can you do that? If 00:48:35.090 --> 00:48:37.110 you guys give me a GoPro, yeah, I'll do it. Yeah. 00:48:37.190 --> 00:48:39.210 The problem is they won't let you, we can, but 00:48:39.210 --> 00:48:42.030 they don't, we probably have to clear it in advance, 00:48:42.210 --> 00:48:45.869 but that's something to think about. My buddy 00:48:45.869 --> 00:48:50.349 has the meta glasses. So if I were to get those, 00:48:50.530 --> 00:48:52.949 that could work. It wouldn't be like consistent 00:48:52.949 --> 00:48:57.030 video, but it would just be. Some clips. Especially 00:48:57.030 --> 00:49:00.610 in a game where we should win. Before we get 00:49:00.610 --> 00:49:04.989 into our top lineup of all time, let's talk about 00:49:04.989 --> 00:49:08.389 this upcoming match. We have a Colorado team 00:49:08.389 --> 00:49:14.769 coming in that just dropped a match to... Oh 00:49:14.769 --> 00:49:17.530 no, that's their last match? They beat Vancouver 00:49:17.530 --> 00:49:23.690 yesterday 3 -0 at home, but lost 3 -0 at LAFC. 00:49:24.380 --> 00:49:27.099 the match before where they got a six minute 00:49:27.099 --> 00:49:28.880 red card and then played the whole game down 00:49:28.880 --> 00:49:34.239 a man, basically. So Colorado seems to be a team 00:49:34.239 --> 00:49:41.119 of ups and downs, I guess we'll say with some 00:49:41.119 --> 00:49:43.239 great performances and just getting demolished 00:49:43.239 --> 00:49:47.219 by Portland a few times. How are you feeling 00:49:47.219 --> 00:49:51.639 about this Colorado Seattle matchup? A typically 00:49:51.639 --> 00:49:55.369 tough matchup for us. In Colorado, but maybe 00:49:55.369 --> 00:50:00.530 not so much at home. We've played good at home 00:50:00.530 --> 00:50:03.550 this year. That's when we've really been able 00:50:03.550 --> 00:50:06.250 to score the most. But if Jordan's back, you've 00:50:06.250 --> 00:50:07.829 got to think that he's probably going to get 00:50:07.829 --> 00:50:12.000 another 45 start again. I don't know, with it 00:50:12.000 --> 00:50:14.300 being a midweek game, maybe they bring him off 00:50:14.300 --> 00:50:16.760 on the 60 -minute just to make sure that he has 00:50:16.760 --> 00:50:20.099 enough time to rest. But, man, I'm looking at 00:50:20.099 --> 00:50:22.079 the stats right now, and the goal difference 00:50:22.079 --> 00:50:26.980 for Colorado is negative six. Yeah. That is not 00:50:26.980 --> 00:50:30.179 good. They've been blown out. I think Portland 00:50:30.179 --> 00:50:33.920 has beat them 3 -0 twice maybe. They gave up 00:50:33.920 --> 00:50:38.929 three goals to LAFC. Yeah, it's been a rough 00:50:38.929 --> 00:50:41.510 go of it for them. Two goals to San Jose, two 00:50:41.510 --> 00:50:45.090 goals to San Diego. Oh, two to one was the first 00:50:45.090 --> 00:50:48.610 Portland game. That's right. So, yeah, they've 00:50:48.610 --> 00:50:52.030 been giving up a lot of goals. Is this a chance 00:50:52.030 --> 00:50:56.989 to put another three up? Yeah, well, I'm interested 00:50:56.989 --> 00:50:59.409 to see what we're, you know, because there's 00:50:59.409 --> 00:51:00.909 some talk that we are going to get some rotation 00:51:00.909 --> 00:51:03.650 with our attacking band. And I would like to 00:51:03.650 --> 00:51:07.110 see Pedro. But with Jordan, I would like to see 00:51:07.110 --> 00:51:09.170 Pedro with the starters at the beginning of the 00:51:09.170 --> 00:51:12.030 game and kind of get an evaluation. The last 00:51:12.030 --> 00:51:14.489 two or three times I've actually, you know, we've 00:51:14.489 --> 00:51:17.269 seen Pedro play. It's been late in the game. 00:51:17.309 --> 00:51:19.750 The game state is already in the endgame, and 00:51:19.750 --> 00:51:24.650 we just haven't seen what we wanted. So for the 00:51:24.650 --> 00:51:26.269 entertainment, for the fans, I want to see it. 00:51:26.289 --> 00:51:30.730 And I think Pedro needs to start immensely. I 00:51:30.730 --> 00:51:32.889 think throwing him a start would be important 00:51:32.889 --> 00:51:36.019 for his psyche. And again, this is just me going 00:51:36.019 --> 00:51:39.260 off the Kash Patel gut, so no evidence whatsoever 00:51:39.260 --> 00:51:43.539 to suggest this. But his body language and demeanor 00:51:43.539 --> 00:51:47.260 just from the TV against Kansas City, I think 00:51:47.260 --> 00:51:48.900 a start would be beneficial to him, and I would 00:51:48.900 --> 00:51:52.360 be excited to see him start again. Yeah, he looked 00:51:52.360 --> 00:51:54.639 really tentative. He looked really tentative 00:51:54.639 --> 00:51:56.760 on the ball. He looked like he was a little hesitant 00:51:56.760 --> 00:52:02.019 to make decisions. And yeah, sometimes his spacing 00:52:02.019 --> 00:52:05.400 seemed a little weird. He seemed like he was 00:52:05.400 --> 00:52:08.300 ball watching a few times. Like I saw, I saw 00:52:08.300 --> 00:52:10.820 certain points in the game. Schmetzer was like 00:52:10.820 --> 00:52:13.460 yelling at him to like, you know, track this 00:52:13.460 --> 00:52:15.960 guy, pay attention to this guy. You know, this 00:52:15.960 --> 00:52:18.579 is just super anecdotal because I'm sitting at 00:52:18.579 --> 00:52:21.679 home watching, but you know, I, I was like, Oh, 00:52:21.739 --> 00:52:24.539 that's interesting. Like, is he not, you know, 00:52:24.539 --> 00:52:26.539 is he not playing the way that they want him 00:52:26.539 --> 00:52:29.559 to? And also just like Dan is saying his body 00:52:29.559 --> 00:52:32.440 language. Yeah. Maybe, maybe he wouldn't feel 00:52:32.440 --> 00:52:37.650 a bit more. juiced up if he got a start. Could 00:52:37.650 --> 00:52:42.269 we see Ryan Kent out there as well? Oh, I hope 00:52:42.269 --> 00:52:45.409 so. Oh, you want to know what my lineup would 00:52:45.409 --> 00:52:49.590 be? Yeah, I mean, yeah. First, Pedro, do you 00:52:49.590 --> 00:52:50.690 think he should get some time? And what about 00:52:50.690 --> 00:52:53.730 Ryan Kent? Oh, yeah. In the Napoleon Dynamite 00:52:53.730 --> 00:53:00.400 voice, vote for Pedro. So, let Pedro start. Have 00:53:00.400 --> 00:53:02.880 they used that? If no one's used that, they need 00:53:02.880 --> 00:53:05.159 to be using that. I'm using it. I put a patent 00:53:05.159 --> 00:53:08.760 on it. Okay. I'm going to start using it now. 00:53:09.280 --> 00:53:13.019 No, I think you start Pedro. You start Morris, 00:53:13.119 --> 00:53:18.260 but you take him off at half again. I guess you 00:53:18.260 --> 00:53:25.559 do play Rusnak, and then you play... Give Ken 00:53:25.559 --> 00:53:29.880 a run out there. If not, it'll be Rothrock. Same 00:53:29.880 --> 00:53:35.840 midfield. And then we'll see Kalani come back. 00:53:36.960 --> 00:53:39.159 Hopefully. Who's starting at left back, though? 00:53:39.579 --> 00:53:45.940 Reid. Or John Bell. No, not John Bell. I start 00:53:45.940 --> 00:53:48.599 Reid. Because I think we're going to be at home. 00:53:48.679 --> 00:53:53.400 We'll have a lot more possession. We'll do the, 00:53:53.500 --> 00:53:56.940 like semester says, play when we're in possession, 00:53:57.059 --> 00:54:01.150 have the three center backs. And then the midfield 00:54:01.150 --> 00:54:06.610 be high. I don't know. He's just going to roll 00:54:06.610 --> 00:54:09.789 out the same lineup as before. And then someone's 00:54:09.789 --> 00:54:11.389 going to get hurt, and we're going to have this 00:54:11.389 --> 00:54:17.010 cycle all over again. Yeah, go ahead, Dan. I 00:54:17.010 --> 00:54:19.150 think a big question is, are you starting Alex 00:54:19.150 --> 00:54:21.750 at center back again? Are you going to run with 00:54:21.750 --> 00:54:24.929 Reagan and Alex at center back and let KKR fly 00:54:24.929 --> 00:54:29.699 up that right wing? Put Alex back and maybe play 00:54:29.699 --> 00:54:33.099 Bell there in center back instead so that you 00:54:33.099 --> 00:54:37.860 would have Reed, KKR out on the wings. How are 00:54:37.860 --> 00:54:43.199 you going to do that? Let me give you some stats 00:54:43.199 --> 00:54:45.619 real quick before you all decide on that. In 00:54:45.619 --> 00:54:49.340 the game against Vancouver, Colorado had 16 shots, 00:54:49.440 --> 00:54:53.219 including seven on target, both better than Vancouver, 00:54:53.320 --> 00:54:58.130 but only 41 % of possession. and only 82 % pass 00:54:58.130 --> 00:55:01.130 accuracy. They did commit only eight fouls to 00:55:01.130 --> 00:55:05.409 16 for Vancouver, but they did have two yellows 00:55:05.409 --> 00:55:07.769 and three offsides more than Vancouver. Vancouver 00:55:07.769 --> 00:55:10.630 also had more corners. So here's a low possession, 00:55:11.010 --> 00:55:16.329 high shot team. What does that mean for our lineup? 00:55:16.510 --> 00:55:19.630 Does it change anything for you? Are you sure 00:55:19.630 --> 00:55:23.110 we're not playing Minnesota? These are not that 00:55:23.110 --> 00:55:27.670 bad, possession -wise. No, it's kind of – I would 00:55:27.670 --> 00:55:29.630 say it almost sounds like Sunder's kryptonite 00:55:29.630 --> 00:55:33.329 with the team sitting back and then going when 00:55:33.329 --> 00:55:36.570 they get the chance. No, it doesn't change. I 00:55:36.570 --> 00:55:38.429 mean, I would start – I think I would run with 00:55:38.429 --> 00:55:41.389 Alex back at center back again if I was the one 00:55:41.389 --> 00:55:45.969 making the choice and then have KKR. I had to 00:55:45.969 --> 00:55:48.949 let KKR push up the field and hopefully we see 00:55:48.949 --> 00:55:53.150 Morris and getting the ball fed to him. I think 00:55:53.150 --> 00:55:59.010 there's a lot – that gets me excited. Cedar, 00:55:59.070 --> 00:56:04.889 what about you? Yeah, to your point, Colorado, 00:56:05.849 --> 00:56:11.130 their possession, it's kind of varied over the 00:56:11.130 --> 00:56:17.050 season. Some games they've had over 50%, cracking 00:56:17.050 --> 00:56:21.630 60, 66 during one game against Sporting Kansas 00:56:21.630 --> 00:56:24.329 City just a couple of weeks ago. And then they've 00:56:24.329 --> 00:56:27.960 also, Then the next week they have 28 % against 00:56:27.960 --> 00:56:32.059 LAFC, a team that doesn't want to have the ball. 00:56:32.280 --> 00:56:38.400 So I have no idea what to expect. I mean, I haven't 00:56:38.400 --> 00:56:42.139 watched really any Colorado games this year except 00:56:42.139 --> 00:56:46.380 for our 1 -1 draw against them on the road. So, 00:56:46.380 --> 00:56:49.159 yeah, I don't know. I don't think they're going 00:56:49.159 --> 00:56:53.460 to be – I don't know. I feel like Sporting Kansas 00:56:53.460 --> 00:56:56.980 City – we'll probably end up being more dangerous 00:56:56.980 --> 00:57:00.000 than we'll have been more dangerous against us 00:57:00.000 --> 00:57:04.239 than Colorado will be. But I mean, I just trust 00:57:04.239 --> 00:57:07.400 in our, in our talent. If we're able to play 00:57:07.400 --> 00:57:09.559 the way we want to play, I'm not, I'm not concerned 00:57:09.559 --> 00:57:11.820 about Colorado. I feel like they're a team that's 00:57:11.820 --> 00:57:15.219 kind of, you know, all over the place and a little 00:57:15.219 --> 00:57:18.079 streaky. It seems like they go on losing streaks, 00:57:18.079 --> 00:57:20.000 you know, then they'll win a couple of games. 00:57:20.059 --> 00:57:21.920 They'll draw one and then go on another losing 00:57:21.920 --> 00:57:25.099 streak. So I, I'm not, I'm not super concerned 00:57:25.099 --> 00:57:28.320 about them in particular. I think what I'm concerned 00:57:28.320 --> 00:57:30.500 about is like, hey, can we play with the energy 00:57:30.500 --> 00:57:35.079 and the capacity that we know we have? Because 00:57:35.079 --> 00:57:39.860 if we don't, then any team can beat us. Yeah, 00:57:39.920 --> 00:57:44.590 makes sense. So give me a score prediction. For 00:57:44.590 --> 00:57:47.949 the Colorado match on Wednesday, it's very funny 00:57:47.949 --> 00:57:50.289 that I was talking about San Jose being Wednesday 00:57:50.289 --> 00:57:51.929 when I had already pulled up all the Colorado 00:57:51.929 --> 00:57:57.210 stats ready to go to discuss with you. But what's 00:57:57.210 --> 00:58:00.409 your score prediction then if we are assuming 00:58:00.409 --> 00:58:08.809 starting Jordan and coming out firing? I think 00:58:08.809 --> 00:58:11.710 we're going to get 3 -1, and Jordan's going to 00:58:11.710 --> 00:58:13.789 have a brace, and Pedro's going to get that goal. 00:58:16.109 --> 00:58:18.489 and it's going to be a very exciting night. So 00:58:18.489 --> 00:58:20.690 that's what I'm going to go with, 3 -1 Sounders. 00:58:23.250 --> 00:58:27.929 Cedar? I also think 3 -1 Sounders, I think they're 00:58:27.929 --> 00:58:31.309 going to get, I think Colorado's going to get 00:58:31.309 --> 00:58:34.889 a really stupid penalty late, and Georgie Mihailovich 00:58:34.889 --> 00:58:39.090 will sink it home, and we'll end up with a win. 00:58:43.349 --> 00:58:47.530 Alex, where are you at? Also 3 -1 Sounders. I 00:58:47.530 --> 00:58:53.429 think Jordan scores. Kent gets his first. And 00:58:53.429 --> 00:58:56.829 then Pedro scores. I'm going to be the Discord 00:58:56.829 --> 00:59:01.909 vote for Pedro. Yeah. I'll go 3 -2 then. I think 00:59:01.909 --> 00:59:04.829 Sounders probably take a 3 -0 lead and then give 00:59:04.829 --> 00:59:07.530 up two goals. And then, of course, we have a 00:59:07.530 --> 00:59:10.469 nervy finish because, according to Schmetzer, 00:59:11.019 --> 00:59:13.659 A win is a win. So three points, you take it 00:59:13.659 --> 00:59:17.780 anywhere. I would rather discuss how to not allow 00:59:17.780 --> 00:59:20.920 three goals in a single half, but yeah, I'm going 00:59:20.920 --> 00:59:23.239 three, two sounders for my prediction may change 00:59:23.239 --> 00:59:26.980 by the time I record with the, the, the scuttlebutt 00:59:26.980 --> 00:59:29.719 dudes, but you've all convinced me we're going 00:59:29.719 --> 00:59:33.659 to win the game. So I'm going. Wait, wait, wait. 00:59:33.719 --> 00:59:37.900 I actually want to change mine. I now want to 00:59:37.900 --> 00:59:41.199 go three, one Colorado. I can't be the same as 00:59:41.199 --> 00:59:45.340 everybody else. I'm going to add that Ree's going 00:59:45.340 --> 00:59:50.880 to get a red. Oh, no. Again? Again. This time 00:59:50.880 --> 00:59:53.980 it will be a straight red. Oh, gosh. As long 00:59:53.980 --> 00:59:55.380 as he doesn't throw the ball in the stands, we 00:59:55.380 --> 00:59:57.079 should be okay. No, he's going to throw the ball 00:59:57.079 --> 01:00:01.960 at the Colorado bench. Yeah. That's better. That's 01:00:01.960 --> 01:00:04.940 probably less of a penalty. I mean, that you 01:00:04.940 --> 01:00:06.940 just get a yellow. It's not a straight red. No, 01:00:06.940 --> 01:00:09.679 because he's not Argentinian. So he's going to 01:00:09.679 --> 01:00:13.179 get a red. Yeah, but weren't you the guy who 01:00:13.179 --> 01:00:15.019 said that Suarez was done and then he looked 01:00:15.019 --> 01:00:17.260 brilliant again this week for Miami? That's all 01:00:17.260 --> 01:00:18.860 I'm saying. I didn't watch the game. Can we still 01:00:18.860 --> 01:00:22.619 call him the city van? I don't watch Miami ball. 01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:28.440 Let's do a little game here before we finish 01:00:28.440 --> 01:00:30.400 up. We talked about it last show. It was my homework 01:00:30.400 --> 01:00:33.619 for all of you. And if you haven't done it, I'm 01:00:33.619 --> 01:00:35.780 an easy grader, so you can do it as we're going. 01:00:36.449 --> 01:00:38.670 but we know Dan has done it. So we're going to 01:00:38.670 --> 01:00:41.170 start with you, Dan. All -time Sounders 4 -4 01:00:41.170 --> 01:00:45.690 -2 lineup. So this was a lot of fun because it 01:00:45.690 --> 01:00:48.250 gave me an opportunity to kind of dig into some 01:00:48.250 --> 01:00:50.289 of the players that I missed coming into the 01:00:50.289 --> 01:00:53.329 Sounders just a couple years ago. So I really 01:00:53.329 --> 01:00:55.789 enjoyed this and watching some of the highlights 01:00:55.789 --> 01:01:00.849 of these players. Let's go from forward backwards 01:01:00.849 --> 01:01:03.389 because I think... Oh, forward backwards? Yeah, 01:01:03.389 --> 01:01:05.030 because there's some that will be obvious, and 01:01:05.030 --> 01:01:07.210 I think there's some that might be a little – 01:01:07.210 --> 01:01:10.730 But my forwards, I think that's where people 01:01:10.730 --> 01:01:13.449 are going to get upset. Oh, no. This is going 01:01:13.449 --> 01:01:15.869 to be fun then because you see your forwards, 01:01:15.989 --> 01:01:17.929 and then we can talk to everyone else. Yeah. 01:01:18.250 --> 01:01:21.730 Okay, so if I'm playing the top two, I'm playing 01:01:21.730 --> 01:01:27.829 with Ryle and Oba. Oh, okay. Okay. Nice. Nice. 01:01:29.170 --> 01:01:31.409 Then moving into the midfield, I got Morris on 01:01:31.409 --> 01:01:34.480 the left. Ladero, Alonzo, and then Christian 01:01:34.480 --> 01:01:38.840 on the right. And then with the back four, I 01:01:38.840 --> 01:01:42.579 got Brad Smith, Zach Scott, Chad Marshall, Yedlin. 01:01:43.420 --> 01:01:46.960 Wow. Interesting. Interesting. There's definitely 01:01:46.960 --> 01:01:50.480 some differences that I have. Some debates that 01:01:50.480 --> 01:01:53.480 I had there. Who you got a goalkeeper? Yeah, 01:01:53.500 --> 01:01:56.699 that's true. Have we had a goalkeeper before, 01:01:56.780 --> 01:02:00.389 Fry? I thought we played with 10 men before Fry 01:02:00.389 --> 01:02:05.110 played with us. Spurning, your obvious choices 01:02:05.110 --> 01:02:07.289 are Spurn, and it's not a difficult – I mean, 01:02:07.309 --> 01:02:10.090 it is a difficult choice. Spurning and, of course, 01:02:10.090 --> 01:02:13.070 Casey Keller versus Fry. We've had other goalies, 01:02:13.110 --> 01:02:15.710 but those are the main ones, and they all – an 01:02:15.710 --> 01:02:17.869 argument can be made for all of them. Absolutely. 01:02:18.849 --> 01:02:21.929 So we're assuming you go with Fry there? 100%, 01:02:21.929 --> 01:02:26.269 yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's a pretty good lineup. 01:02:27.019 --> 01:02:30.019 I've got to say, Cedar, what are you thinking 01:02:30.019 --> 01:02:35.760 here for your lineup? Up top, I've got Raul and 01:02:35.760 --> 01:02:39.780 Clint Dempsey. And I'd have Dempsey kind of be 01:02:39.780 --> 01:02:44.280 more of a shadow striker there. And then basically 01:02:44.280 --> 01:02:51.539 same midfield as Dan, Morris, left mid, Lodero, 01:02:51.780 --> 01:02:54.960 Alonzo, and then Christian on the right. And 01:02:54.960 --> 01:02:58.119 then back line, I've got Nuhu left back. I've 01:02:58.119 --> 01:03:02.079 got Chad Marshall, Yamar at center back. And 01:03:02.079 --> 01:03:05.340 then Kelvin Leardom at right back. And then Fry 01:03:05.340 --> 01:03:10.280 and Goal. That was my debate at right back. Leardom 01:03:10.280 --> 01:03:15.039 versus Yedlin. Tough. I know. Tough one. I know. 01:03:15.179 --> 01:03:18.079 Alex, what's your lineup? So I'm going to do 01:03:18.079 --> 01:03:22.920 Raul and Clint up top. Yeah. Same midfield as 01:03:22.920 --> 01:03:28.570 Cedar. Dan with Morris, Nico, Alonzo, and Roldan. 01:03:29.449 --> 01:03:32.630 All right. So right back, I'm taking Brad Evans. 01:03:33.170 --> 01:03:37.010 Oh. And then I'm taking Yamar, Chad Marshall, 01:03:37.389 --> 01:03:42.449 and then Leo Gonzalez. Interesting. Interesting. 01:03:45.730 --> 01:03:49.010 So I got. Oh, yeah. Sorry. I forgot you got goal. 01:03:49.170 --> 01:03:52.030 And then goal, I'm taking Casey Keller. Okay. 01:03:52.380 --> 01:03:57.059 Not a bad choice. Not a bad choice. I have Raul 01:03:57.059 --> 01:04:00.199 and Deuce up top. I originally was going to do 01:04:00.199 --> 01:04:02.079 Oba and Deuce, but then I remembered that Oba 01:04:02.079 --> 01:04:04.320 never scored a playoff goal in his entire career 01:04:04.320 --> 01:04:08.019 and would always fizzle out by then, so couldn't 01:04:08.019 --> 01:04:11.420 do it. Midfield is the exact same. Jordan, Nico, 01:04:11.579 --> 01:04:15.099 Ozzie, and Christian. I did go with Nuhu at left 01:04:15.099 --> 01:04:18.800 back. Chad Marshall. I had a big debate between 01:04:18.800 --> 01:04:21.699 Roman and Yamar at center back, and I went with 01:04:21.699 --> 01:04:24.860 Yamar. And then I had a big debate between Yedlin 01:04:24.860 --> 01:04:27.719 and Leardom, and I went with Yedlin. And then, 01:04:27.739 --> 01:04:29.639 of course, I went with Fry just because of his 01:04:29.639 --> 01:04:34.199 longevity and just what he's done for our team. 01:04:34.320 --> 01:04:36.920 But I will say Sperning was pretty amazing. He 01:04:36.920 --> 01:04:41.739 just wasn't here enough years. I think it's telling, 01:04:41.840 --> 01:04:45.059 though, that for the MLS, we have quite a few 01:04:45.059 --> 01:04:49.639 players there. That could potentially and should 01:04:49.639 --> 01:04:52.699 definitely one day be in the circle of legends. 01:04:52.800 --> 01:04:57.739 But we'll have to see because you have to have 01:04:57.739 --> 01:05:02.219 to qualify. You have to meet certain criteria. 01:05:02.760 --> 01:05:13.599 And Jordan, Christian, Yamar, Nuhu are all years 01:05:13.599 --> 01:05:20.610 off. And Raul are all, it's like four to five 01:05:20.610 --> 01:05:23.869 years after they retire. So they won't make it 01:05:23.869 --> 01:05:26.969 for a long time. But I think Ozzy's eligible 01:05:26.969 --> 01:05:30.130 first ballot, if I'm not mistaken. So we could 01:05:30.130 --> 01:05:33.909 see Ozzy. Deuce might be, I'd have to look at 01:05:33.909 --> 01:05:36.590 the number of games he played. Also, there may 01:05:36.590 --> 01:05:39.670 be a question of, was he involved with the championship? 01:05:39.690 --> 01:05:41.869 Because he was on the roster, but he was, remember, 01:05:41.889 --> 01:05:45.150 injured when that happened. But I think he was 01:05:45.150 --> 01:05:48.289 there for, oh, I was going to say US Open Cup. 01:05:50.309 --> 01:05:57.690 But another year, maybe. Chad Marshall, we'd 01:05:57.690 --> 01:05:59.730 have to look at the timing. And Yamar, of course, 01:05:59.789 --> 01:06:03.610 is still active. So Roman is the type of player 01:06:03.610 --> 01:06:06.250 who does not get in on straight numbers, but 01:06:06.250 --> 01:06:08.110 there are special categories that could get him 01:06:08.110 --> 01:06:10.670 in. But he also may be the type of player who, 01:06:10.730 --> 01:06:14.659 just based on the criteria, which... nicholas 01:06:14.659 --> 01:06:17.000 and i wrote and then was adapted by the sounders 01:06:17.000 --> 01:06:20.519 uh he wouldn't get in because he didn't meet 01:06:20.519 --> 01:06:22.719 some of those numbers but he could get in in 01:06:22.719 --> 01:06:25.639 like as a moment like his penalty obviously is 01:06:25.639 --> 01:06:28.599 the biggest moment in sounders history maybe 01:06:28.599 --> 01:06:34.920 the save but yeah so that's fun i mean i think 01:06:34.920 --> 01:06:39.340 trying to decide that was tough and i also think 01:06:39.340 --> 01:06:43.690 we all went with MLS, which is interesting because 01:06:43.690 --> 01:06:45.090 we had this discussion at the end of the last 01:06:45.090 --> 01:06:48.929 show. Who might have we included instead? I don't 01:06:48.929 --> 01:06:50.869 know enough about the NASL Sounders, which is 01:06:50.869 --> 01:06:53.750 why there is representation for those people 01:06:53.750 --> 01:06:56.750 on the circle of legends. I know some of the 01:06:56.750 --> 01:06:59.809 players are, but I don't know of their true impact. 01:06:59.969 --> 01:07:02.250 So we'll be able to look at those numbers. And 01:07:02.250 --> 01:07:04.369 USL, although it was minor league, I mean, there's 01:07:04.369 --> 01:07:07.349 still some legends there that potentially could 01:07:07.349 --> 01:07:11.710 be involved. I looked it up. There's 40 players 01:07:11.710 --> 01:07:14.570 who've played defender for the Sounders all time. 01:07:15.449 --> 01:07:18.449 There's probably more now, but that was as of 01:07:18.449 --> 01:07:22.190 like three years ago. So I guess it's more at 01:07:22.190 --> 01:07:27.550 this point. Does that lineup that y 'all picked, 01:07:27.610 --> 01:07:29.409 since they're largely the same with the exception 01:07:29.409 --> 01:07:31.269 of a different center back, different right back, 01:07:31.449 --> 01:07:35.650 different goalie, does that lineup and left back, 01:07:35.750 --> 01:07:40.559 does that lineup win a championship? And the 01:07:40.559 --> 01:07:48.199 MLS. Yeah. Yeah. No. Yeah, of course it does. 01:07:49.099 --> 01:07:51.380 Wait, who's the one that has Nuhu at left back? 01:07:51.780 --> 01:07:55.139 I do. Yeah, you're getting red card in the final. 01:07:55.219 --> 01:07:59.119 You're losing on a PK. Oh, no. I mean, I just 01:07:59.119 --> 01:08:02.239 don't. Most red cards go to you. I don't see. 01:08:02.280 --> 01:08:07.340 To me, Nuhu, player -wise, is the best left back 01:08:07.340 --> 01:08:11.289 we've ever had. I think he just. It's hard with 01:08:11.289 --> 01:08:14.250 what's going on right now, right? How do you 01:08:14.250 --> 01:08:20.350 decide? Also, we wouldn't play them in a 4 -4 01:08:20.350 --> 01:08:23.329 -2, right? I mean, we'd probably have – you'd 01:08:23.329 --> 01:08:26.609 drop Alonzo and Roldan, you know, as defensive 01:08:26.609 --> 01:08:28.750 midfielders, right? I mean, you'd play Christian 01:08:28.750 --> 01:08:30.909 on the right and have Ozzie back. If you're playing 01:08:30.909 --> 01:08:33.750 two forwards. If you're only playing one forward, 01:08:33.789 --> 01:08:35.390 then you drop Christian back and bring in a different 01:08:35.390 --> 01:08:39.779 right mid. My guess is if we're playing with 01:08:39.779 --> 01:08:42.579 two at the top, I mean, you do the diamond in 01:08:42.579 --> 01:08:44.020 the middle, and then you got the four at the 01:08:44.020 --> 01:08:47.979 back. You could go four triple two. Say that 01:08:47.979 --> 01:08:51.180 again? Four triple two with the two CDMs, two 01:08:51.180 --> 01:08:55.779 cams, and then two strikers. Jordan can play. 01:08:55.899 --> 01:08:57.880 That was Schmetzer as coach. That's not happening. 01:08:58.100 --> 01:09:00.119 This is where I'm the coach, and we're playing 01:09:00.119 --> 01:09:02.460 FIFA. We can't score from the wing in that instance. 01:09:02.520 --> 01:09:04.220 Well, if we're playing FIFA, I'm doing three 01:09:04.220 --> 01:09:06.899 at the back, which is my always lineup. Three 01:09:06.899 --> 01:09:09.500 center backs, and then I don't put anyone at 01:09:09.500 --> 01:09:13.140 wing back. I want extra attacking players up 01:09:13.140 --> 01:09:15.739 top. So that's why I put Brad Evans as my right 01:09:15.739 --> 01:09:17.859 back, because in possession, we're going to be 01:09:17.859 --> 01:09:19.899 three in the back, and you just have Leo Gonzalez 01:09:19.899 --> 01:09:25.890 running up the line. Yeah. Yeah. Leo played 137 01:09:25.890 --> 01:09:28.310 matches at the time. It was the fifth most in 01:09:28.310 --> 01:09:30.430 club history. I think it's now probably the eighth 01:09:30.430 --> 01:09:34.350 or ninth most in seven seasons from 2009 to 2015. 01:09:36.109 --> 01:09:38.909 And he won the U .S. Open Cup in 09, 10, 11, 01:09:39.010 --> 01:09:42.489 and 14 in the Sport Shield. More than 10 ,000 01:09:42.489 --> 01:09:44.609 minutes. I happen to have that open on another 01:09:44.609 --> 01:09:47.770 window here, so I did not memorize that. No, 01:09:47.810 --> 01:09:50.310 I just Googled left backs in Sounders history, 01:09:50.430 --> 01:09:54.960 and that's the one that came up. Yeah. I was 01:09:54.960 --> 01:09:57.159 like, I don't want to pick new who. Chad Marshall 01:09:57.159 --> 01:10:00.399 got four best 11 honors. Of course, only two 01:10:00.399 --> 01:10:02.840 with the Sounders. But isn't the award named 01:10:02.840 --> 01:10:05.100 after him for best defender in the league? Isn't 01:10:05.100 --> 01:10:07.859 it the Chad Marshall Award? I think so, right? 01:10:09.199 --> 01:10:11.640 See, so when you guys think of Chad Marshall, 01:10:11.680 --> 01:10:13.340 do you guys think of him in his time in Seattle 01:10:13.340 --> 01:10:17.979 or his time in Columbus? Was it Columbus? Columbus, 01:10:18.180 --> 01:10:22.260 yeah. Because I heard that on another podcast. 01:10:22.880 --> 01:10:25.199 He did 10 years in Columbus, but the Sounders 01:10:25.199 --> 01:10:29.260 didn't exist before then. So MLS didn't exist 01:10:29.260 --> 01:10:37.119 until 2019. 29. He did five years with Columbus 01:10:37.119 --> 01:10:43.319 while the Sounders were a team. And then he came 01:10:43.319 --> 01:10:46.859 here. So I definitely think of him as a Sounders 01:10:46.859 --> 01:10:48.680 player before a Columbus player. I mean, and 01:10:48.680 --> 01:10:52.460 plus he's still around in some capacity. We saved 01:10:52.460 --> 01:10:55.479 them from Columbus. Brad Evans came that same 01:10:55.479 --> 01:10:59.520 year. Or no, a couple years. Yeah, same year. 01:11:00.680 --> 01:11:04.399 Nice. That's pretty good. So the MLS didn't start 01:11:04.399 --> 01:11:12.039 until 2009. We invented soccer, right? Seattle 01:11:12.039 --> 01:11:15.039 invented soccer. Well, that's why the ball this 01:11:15.039 --> 01:11:19.859 year is Seattle colors. Green and blue. Absolutely. 01:11:20.590 --> 01:11:26.590 You guys see we have a fourth kit? Yeah, we have 01:11:26.590 --> 01:11:29.550 a fourth kit. It's already dropped. The All -Star 01:11:29.550 --> 01:11:32.430 jersey? Yeah, the All -Star jersey. I don't think 01:11:32.430 --> 01:11:35.850 we have any All -Stars, do we? No, because there's 01:11:35.850 --> 01:11:38.590 an East Coast Spice. I mean, that is true, but 01:11:38.590 --> 01:11:40.750 I'm not sure if there's... Okay, that's a good 01:11:40.750 --> 01:11:43.689 question. For the three of you, who on the Sounders 01:11:43.689 --> 01:11:47.369 roster deserves to be on the All -Star team? 01:11:47.430 --> 01:11:49.609 I would say Fry, but he's hurt, so we can't count 01:11:49.609 --> 01:11:53.760 him. Well, I mean, he could come. Christian, 01:11:53.779 --> 01:12:00.840 for sure. And Rusnak. Yeah. It's a tough position, 01:12:00.920 --> 01:12:03.319 though, for him based on what other people are 01:12:03.319 --> 01:12:04.859 doing around the league. Yeah, I don't think 01:12:04.859 --> 01:12:08.760 he's producing enough. Yeah, but it's subjective, 01:12:08.939 --> 01:12:13.119 and that's who I think. Your eyes deceive you. 01:12:13.880 --> 01:12:19.510 The Austin coach, what's his face? Is it Nico 01:12:19.510 --> 01:12:24.010 Estevez? Well, he picked Brandon. Yeah, Vasquez 01:12:24.010 --> 01:12:28.210 is done. Yeah, exactly, right? No, but what I'm 01:12:28.210 --> 01:12:30.449 saying is the Austin head coach, I forgot his 01:12:30.449 --> 01:12:34.470 name, but he had initially picked Brandon Vasquez, 01:12:34.529 --> 01:12:39.370 his own player, to be an all -star over. Sam 01:12:39.370 --> 01:12:42.390 Surridge, who leads the league in goals. It's 01:12:42.390 --> 01:12:45.270 just like, okay, well, that's stupid. That's 01:12:45.270 --> 01:12:48.470 really dumb. And that's why karma came in. I 01:12:48.470 --> 01:12:51.289 will choose who I want. No, because we don't 01:12:51.289 --> 01:12:54.289 want Ruznik to tear his ACL. No, we don't. It's 01:12:54.289 --> 01:12:57.869 fine. I honestly don't care about... I mean, 01:12:57.869 --> 01:12:59.750 they care. The players probably care a little 01:12:59.750 --> 01:13:02.130 bit, but I don't care about who's an all -star 01:13:02.130 --> 01:13:06.390 or not. less games for us to have our guys get 01:13:06.390 --> 01:13:09.149 injured in. Are they playing League of Mechies 01:13:09.149 --> 01:13:13.789 All -Stars? Yeah. That's a better game. We did 01:13:13.789 --> 01:13:16.069 get a player in the MLS Next All -Star game, 01:13:16.229 --> 01:13:19.229 Ronan Learning, who I don't even know who that 01:13:19.229 --> 01:13:22.229 is, but he's a Sounders youth player, apparently. 01:13:22.649 --> 01:13:25.470 The only Sounders player we know in the Academy 01:13:25.470 --> 01:13:30.020 is Omar Hassan. I don't know. I've never heard 01:13:30.020 --> 01:13:33.479 that player in my life. So Sounders FC Academy, 01:13:33.640 --> 01:13:37.239 Ronan Learning. MLS Next announced that he is 01:13:37.239 --> 01:13:39.680 on that. He joined the Sounders Academy in 2002, 01:13:39.939 --> 01:13:44.159 scored in 18 matches, 15 starts during the 2024 01:13:44.159 --> 01:13:47.060 -25 MLS Next season, scoring three goals, including 01:13:47.060 --> 01:13:50.579 a brace against San Jose. He recently played 01:13:50.579 --> 01:13:52.840 with Sounders FC Academy in the 2025 Generation 01:13:52.840 --> 01:13:56.460 Adidas Cup at the U18 level, finishing third 01:13:56.460 --> 01:13:59.000 in Group F. I remember when he used to win those 01:13:59.000 --> 01:14:01.699 against like Real Madrid and teams like that. 01:14:03.119 --> 01:14:08.399 Oh yeah. It's rough. It is rough, but yeah. So 01:14:08.399 --> 01:14:10.640 we have one youth player that made the all -star 01:14:10.640 --> 01:14:13.640 game and wasn't Alex, the highest rated Sounders 01:14:13.640 --> 01:14:19.520 player in the all -stars for right back for all 01:14:19.520 --> 01:14:22.340 positions. He was the highest on the list. Yes. 01:14:22.399 --> 01:14:27.149 Yes, he was. He was the only one that was top 01:14:27.149 --> 01:14:30.729 three at any position. Dan, how many votes did 01:14:30.729 --> 01:14:43.109 you submit? For MLS or for 2024 elections? For 01:14:43.109 --> 01:14:49.090 MLS. Oh, none. I guess you can blame me for the 01:14:49.090 --> 01:14:51.520 Sounders not having anybody in there. I mean, 01:14:51.560 --> 01:14:54.500 the midfielders are Sebastian Berhalter, David 01:14:54.500 --> 01:14:59.159 DaCosta, Evander, Diego Luna, Jeppe Tverskasov, 01:14:59.399 --> 01:15:04.220 and Philippe Zinkernagel. The three of them, 01:15:04.380 --> 01:15:10.939 including DaCosta, being coach selections. It's 01:15:10.939 --> 01:15:14.460 hard to argue. Not surprising. It's a pretty 01:15:14.460 --> 01:15:16.699 good midfield, and they went heavy on the forwards. 01:15:18.040 --> 01:15:21.960 And no defenders. The coach selected a Cincinnati 01:15:21.960 --> 01:15:25.199 player, a Nashville player, a Union player, and 01:15:25.199 --> 01:15:29.399 a Columbus Crew player to come in. Man, Andy 01:15:29.399 --> 01:15:31.279 Nahar. I didn't even know he was still in the 01:15:31.279 --> 01:15:35.180 league. Wow. I think it would be way more fun 01:15:35.180 --> 01:15:39.340 if they just did East versus West. No money. 01:15:40.920 --> 01:15:43.340 Is there money in this? I don't think there's 01:15:43.340 --> 01:15:46.359 money. No one's paying to go to see. The league 01:15:46.359 --> 01:15:49.979 that makes fans. perhaps, but they're already 01:15:49.979 --> 01:15:52.739 going to have to go to Leagues Cup a week later. 01:15:52.899 --> 01:15:56.439 This is July 23rd. Leagues Cup starts literally 01:15:56.439 --> 01:15:59.640 a week later. The cartel sponsors them. Could 01:15:59.640 --> 01:16:04.859 be. They send their taxes to the U .S. and it 01:16:04.859 --> 01:16:07.680 pays for them. I did not realize that Andy Nahar 01:16:07.680 --> 01:16:11.720 went and played at Olympia, meaning the team 01:16:11.720 --> 01:16:13.800 in Honduras where he plays for the national team. 01:16:14.329 --> 01:16:16.189 or several years before coming back. In my head, 01:16:16.210 --> 01:16:18.770 he's always a DC United player where he's done 01:16:18.770 --> 01:16:26.989 two stints with a total of 152 matches. Long 01:16:26.989 --> 01:16:30.090 time player. That's a lot. Yeah, he did go to 01:16:30.090 --> 01:16:35.529 Anderlicht as well. So quality player that maybe 01:16:35.529 --> 01:16:39.289 the United States should have done more to get 01:16:39.289 --> 01:16:41.949 on the national team since he moved to the US 01:16:41.949 --> 01:16:46.260 at the age of 13. Isn't that always the case? 01:16:47.180 --> 01:16:51.399 Who did I learn? Who's the second best player 01:16:51.399 --> 01:16:55.699 for Canada? I found out today he was born in 01:16:55.699 --> 01:16:58.380 the United States. Jonathan David? Yeah, Jonathan 01:16:58.380 --> 01:17:01.000 David was born in the United States and does 01:17:01.000 --> 01:17:04.300 not play for the USA. Come on. I think he had 01:17:04.300 --> 01:17:08.159 the one -time switch too. Oh, did they put him 01:17:08.159 --> 01:17:11.060 on our team for a little bit? Maybe at the youth 01:17:11.060 --> 01:17:15.979 level. Yeah, well. It would sure be nice if we 01:17:15.979 --> 01:17:19.779 had a player of his quality on our team. It looks 01:17:19.779 --> 01:17:23.739 like, no, he's been at Canada since U17. Born 01:17:23.739 --> 01:17:30.279 in Brooklyn, New York. They moved to Haiti when 01:17:30.279 --> 01:17:32.460 he was a baby and then immigrated to Ottawa. 01:17:33.180 --> 01:17:39.060 Should have brought him in. Big mistake. Damn 01:17:39.060 --> 01:17:40.720 it. Especially because we need a nine at the 01:17:40.720 --> 01:17:46.069 national level. Right. That's for our U .S. men's 01:17:46.069 --> 01:17:48.510 national team edition of the show. How do you 01:17:48.510 --> 01:17:54.130 guys feel about Pochettino? Fine. I mean, I think 01:17:54.130 --> 01:17:56.510 he did pretty well considering we had a bunch 01:17:56.510 --> 01:17:58.409 of trash players on the field and all our starters 01:17:58.409 --> 01:18:01.510 were gone. They didn't want to go. Remember, 01:18:01.670 --> 01:18:05.510 Pulisic needed some rest. He wanted to go to 01:18:05.510 --> 01:18:09.189 Cancun. Yep. I think he should have not let them 01:18:09.189 --> 01:18:10.850 go. I think they should have said, well, then 01:18:10.850 --> 01:18:13.479 you're not going to be in the World Cup. Landon 01:18:13.479 --> 01:18:17.220 Donovan was talking about it with the goalkeeper, 01:18:17.359 --> 01:18:21.140 Tim Howard, saying that in our day, the Gold 01:18:21.140 --> 01:18:24.500 Cup before the World Cup was when, okay, these 01:18:24.500 --> 01:18:28.079 are our rotations coming up for the World Cup, 01:18:28.100 --> 01:18:29.479 and we're going to run them now and see how they 01:18:29.479 --> 01:18:31.239 work. And he should have just said, you got to 01:18:31.239 --> 01:18:36.119 come. So my guess is that U .S. soccer is let 01:18:36.119 --> 01:18:39.760 them be babies and not do that. Yeah, I think 01:18:39.760 --> 01:18:42.090 it. the entitlement that they feel just because 01:18:42.090 --> 01:18:47.630 they're in Europe. Yeah, my excitement for the 01:18:47.630 --> 01:18:52.109 U .S. Mints team is probably at a record low 01:18:52.109 --> 01:18:57.750 right now. Terrible time for it to happen with 01:18:57.750 --> 01:19:00.329 the World Cup coming up. In the United States, 01:19:00.369 --> 01:19:04.949 no less. Oh, yeah. Don't worry, Dan. It's not 01:19:04.949 --> 01:19:06.689 too late to do the one -time switch to root for 01:19:06.689 --> 01:19:11.909 Mexico. Yeah, it's that easy. Or Canada. That's 01:19:11.909 --> 01:19:15.449 actually hilarious. Are you going to one -time 01:19:15.449 --> 01:19:17.770 switch like you did from Portland to Seattle? 01:19:17.970 --> 01:19:21.390 Is this what we're talking about? Moving from 01:19:21.390 --> 01:19:25.130 Seattle to Portland is not even the closest going 01:19:25.130 --> 01:19:27.710 from U .S. to Mexico. I haven't even gone to 01:19:27.710 --> 01:19:30.369 a Portland game. You're going to keep bringing 01:19:30.369 --> 01:19:32.329 that up until you burn the jersey. I know. You 01:19:32.329 --> 01:19:33.670 said you're going to burn that jersey. I haven't 01:19:33.670 --> 01:19:35.510 seen any pictures of that jersey burning yet. 01:19:35.869 --> 01:19:39.710 I said I was going to burn it on the 4th of October 01:19:39.710 --> 01:19:42.029 when we play against the Timbers. That's a long 01:19:42.029 --> 01:19:43.649 ways away, but it's a good birthday present. 01:19:43.649 --> 01:19:46.569 Better be on YouTube as soon as it happens. Yeah, 01:19:46.590 --> 01:19:48.289 I'm going to get arrested. Are you guys going 01:19:48.289 --> 01:19:51.409 to pay my bill? Oh, this should be for the Patreon. 01:19:51.850 --> 01:19:55.750 Yeah. There you go. Or a little jersey roast. 01:19:56.270 --> 01:19:58.409 Yeah, but we all got to do it together, so whenever 01:19:58.409 --> 01:20:07.180 that happens. So here we go. Here's the Patreon 01:20:07.180 --> 01:20:09.560 episode. We're going to go to downtown Portland 01:20:09.560 --> 01:20:12.859 and we're going to watch Alex. Oh, he just, I 01:20:12.859 --> 01:20:15.300 think he just got off. Yeah. He didn't like the 01:20:15.300 --> 01:20:20.199 idea. Hold up. I'm looking for something. He 01:20:20.199 --> 01:20:22.319 was excited that we weren't going to hold him 01:20:22.319 --> 01:20:24.260 to it. So we didn't know he was a Portland fan 01:20:24.260 --> 01:20:26.500 to begin with. While he's looking for that, I 01:20:26.500 --> 01:20:28.720 will say I did see a post right now from yesterday 01:20:28.720 --> 01:20:30.859 of someone posting the Sounders logo, but the 01:20:30.859 --> 01:20:35.779 two stars on the top are red. Red cards, we keep 01:20:35.779 --> 01:20:38.079 getting. That's because I was actually going 01:20:38.079 --> 01:20:40.579 to give it to you as a gift, Cameron. I was going 01:20:40.579 --> 01:20:43.500 to give you the Portland jersey. I would not 01:20:43.500 --> 01:20:46.479 have any use of a Portland jersey. Well, you 01:20:46.479 --> 01:20:48.739 said you were short on toilet paper. Yeah, that 01:20:48.739 --> 01:20:55.029 is true. Oh, there it is. Oh, that's so ugly. 01:20:55.789 --> 01:21:01.350 Yeah. What do we do with that? We're going to 01:21:01.350 --> 01:21:05.710 burn it. All I'm going to say is I'm glad that 01:21:05.710 --> 01:21:07.569 people are listening to this podcast instead 01:21:07.569 --> 01:21:10.609 of seeing the podcast. Right. They didn't see 01:21:10.609 --> 01:21:12.649 that. They didn't have to see one of the olders 01:21:12.649 --> 01:21:16.229 holding up a Portland jersey. I will say that. 01:21:17.199 --> 01:21:19.640 If you were a Portland fan and want to become 01:21:19.640 --> 01:21:22.859 a Sounders fan, you're more than welcome. You 01:21:22.859 --> 01:21:25.399 know, there's people that have done wrong in 01:21:25.399 --> 01:21:27.979 their lives and they've repented and become better 01:21:27.979 --> 01:21:31.840 people. It's understandable. Maybe you were confused. 01:21:31.939 --> 01:21:34.479 You grew up there and it took you to realize 01:21:34.479 --> 01:21:37.140 that Portland is just like that petulant little 01:21:37.140 --> 01:21:39.539 sibling that is not as cool as the older sibling 01:21:39.539 --> 01:21:43.060 up North. So come root for the Sounders, real 01:21:43.060 --> 01:21:48.260 soccer city, USA. There's a small fee, though, 01:21:48.319 --> 01:21:51.739 for the Switch. You have to join the Patreon. 01:21:52.460 --> 01:21:55.560 Yeah, join the Patreon. Perfect. And join the 01:21:55.560 --> 01:21:58.640 Discord. That's when we'll know you're legit. 01:21:59.020 --> 01:22:00.880 Yeah, that's when we know you're a real Sounders 01:22:00.880 --> 01:22:06.279 fan. It was on clearance, and I'm a... I was 01:22:06.279 --> 01:22:11.479 young. Those are the other teams. I have other 01:22:11.479 --> 01:22:14.119 teams' jerseys. I have a Nashville jersey. I 01:22:14.119 --> 01:22:16.939 have a Washington, D .C., D .C. United jersey. 01:22:17.619 --> 01:22:20.199 I just bought a St. Louis jersey the other day. 01:22:20.939 --> 01:22:24.979 I didn't buy a St. Louis. Who did I buy? An Ajax 01:22:24.979 --> 01:22:30.539 jersey. Trailblazers, I would buy a Trailblazers 01:22:30.539 --> 01:22:34.210 jersey, but that's it. No, I wouldn't. I saw 01:22:34.210 --> 01:22:37.489 the weirdest Jersey. Cause I looked it up after 01:22:37.489 --> 01:22:38.989 I was like, wait, did he ever play for them? 01:22:39.029 --> 01:22:42.949 I saw, I was in, I was in a, I think it was Fremont 01:22:42.949 --> 01:22:46.590 at like the, like one of those, you know, basement 01:22:46.590 --> 01:22:49.909 kind of thrift shop, like, you know, vintage 01:22:49.909 --> 01:22:54.050 stores. And I saw an IX Jersey that was black 01:22:54.050 --> 01:22:56.710 and it had red and green. Like it was, they're 01:22:56.710 --> 01:22:59.350 doing some kind of Rasta thing. Oh yeah. And 01:22:59.350 --> 01:23:03.720 on the. on the back it the the name on the jersey 01:23:03.720 --> 01:23:07.680 was areola like paul areola and i was like wait 01:23:07.680 --> 01:23:10.520 what like he never played for them did he so 01:23:10.520 --> 01:23:12.720 i looked up you know his career and i couldn't 01:23:12.720 --> 01:23:16.100 find anything and i couldn't find any any areola 01:23:16.100 --> 01:23:18.960 ever playing for iax you know i didn't look too 01:23:18.960 --> 01:23:22.479 hard but i was like what is this jersey like 01:23:22.479 --> 01:23:25.880 it looked legit too it was adidas it was you 01:23:25.880 --> 01:23:28.729 know it looked nice It said Ariel. I think it 01:23:28.729 --> 01:23:30.550 was the number six or something. I was like, 01:23:30.649 --> 01:23:33.590 did somebody just mock this up? It might have 01:23:33.590 --> 01:23:37.250 been like a fan press where they do custom names. 01:23:37.689 --> 01:23:40.390 You probably came across a Sunday League jersey. 01:23:41.630 --> 01:23:45.989 Oh, yeah. I mean, I don't know. They did a Bob 01:23:45.989 --> 01:23:48.770 Marley -themed jersey. Yeah, I remember that. 01:23:49.069 --> 01:23:51.829 It's rare, so if someone got rid of that, they're 01:23:51.829 --> 01:23:57.189 crazy. They are crazy. Hold on to that. Well, 01:23:57.210 --> 01:23:59.550 I didn't buy it, so it might still be there. 01:23:59.670 --> 01:24:03.810 Yeah. For all you bargain hunters. I think it's 01:24:03.810 --> 01:24:06.250 time to get out of here. Any final words before 01:24:06.250 --> 01:24:12.970 we move along? No. Sounds like there isn't. All 01:24:12.970 --> 01:24:17.210 out of words. Okay. We'll leave it there. They 01:24:17.210 --> 01:24:21.670 can find you all on the Discord. Oh, look at 01:24:21.670 --> 01:24:29.840 that.
