WEBVTT 00:00:04.750 --> 00:00:11.769 You're listening to Raising Anchor on 990 WBOB. 00:00:17.989 --> 00:00:20.690 Welcome to the Raising Anchor Soccer Show with 00:00:20.690 --> 00:00:23.750 Matt Entrickett and Jason Carey. Your home for 00:00:23.750 --> 00:00:26.410 news, analysis, and everything Rhode Island FC. 00:00:27.230 --> 00:00:29.530 Each week they take you inside the locker room, 00:00:29.890 --> 00:00:32.090 inside the tactics, and inside the storyline 00:00:32.090 --> 00:00:39.329 shaping RIFC. Here's Matt and Jason. Rhode Island 00:00:39.329 --> 00:00:42.990 FC take care of business, defeating Westchester 00:00:42.990 --> 00:00:47.710 SC 3 -0 in Pring's Tires Cup action on the weekend. 00:00:48.149 --> 00:00:51.909 Jason, was this a result enough to restore the 00:00:51.909 --> 00:00:53.710 hopes of advancing further in this tournament, 00:00:53.990 --> 00:00:57.920 or does the journey still end here? despite the 00:00:57.920 --> 00:00:59.560 success on the pitch. We're going to find out 00:00:59.560 --> 00:01:02.039 that and so much more. First and foremost, the 00:01:02.039 --> 00:01:03.840 chairs are restored in their rightful places. 00:01:03.880 --> 00:01:06.079 You're on this side of the window. I'm on this 00:01:06.079 --> 00:01:08.159 side of the window. How are you doing, my friend? 00:01:09.019 --> 00:01:11.180 I'm doing great. It was a great weekend. Great 00:01:11.180 --> 00:01:16.159 to see RFC get a good victory there and inching 00:01:16.159 --> 00:01:18.019 ever closer to the World Cup here. Just a few 00:01:18.019 --> 00:01:20.959 more days. I'm so excited. We were at the Cape 00:01:20.959 --> 00:01:23.430 Verde send off yesterday. I don't know that that 00:01:23.430 --> 00:01:26.049 went off as well as I would have expected. I 00:01:26.049 --> 00:01:28.650 mean, the fans of the national team seemed excited 00:01:28.650 --> 00:01:30.950 just to see them. I probably would have coordinated 00:01:30.950 --> 00:01:33.730 that event a little different. You got to experience 00:01:33.730 --> 00:01:36.930 firsthand what island time really means. So I 00:01:36.930 --> 00:01:39.030 got to appreciate that from my side of things. 00:01:39.549 --> 00:01:41.170 But nevertheless, you're right. World Cup is 00:01:41.170 --> 00:01:43.829 here so much so. want to talk a couple details. 00:01:43.950 --> 00:01:45.549 Don't have any graphics tonight because we're 00:01:45.549 --> 00:01:47.510 still on island time in terms of production of 00:01:47.510 --> 00:01:49.709 this show, but there's a lot of watch parties 00:01:49.709 --> 00:01:51.969 and a couple people have reached out asking where 00:01:51.969 --> 00:01:54.849 we are going, what are Rhode Island FC and Defiant 00:01:54.849 --> 00:01:57.790 1636's watch parties. So going to kind of break 00:01:57.790 --> 00:01:59.370 these down because there's some things you should 00:01:59.370 --> 00:02:02.950 know if you want to be amongst your forever faithful 00:02:02.950 --> 00:02:05.629 or other soccer aficionados for some of these 00:02:05.629 --> 00:02:07.090 games. So first and foremost we'll go over Rhode 00:02:07.090 --> 00:02:09.810 Island FC's official watch parties really quickly. 00:02:10.080 --> 00:02:12.319 They are all at the guild. That doesn't surprise 00:02:12.319 --> 00:02:13.460 me at all. They're going to have a couple of 00:02:13.460 --> 00:02:15.539 their pub partner activations as well, like G 00:02:15.539 --> 00:02:18.219 pub and a couple of the other bars. But for most 00:02:18.219 --> 00:02:20.599 of it, it's going to be guild based locations. 00:02:21.379 --> 00:02:23.599 It's the biggest setup. It's the best bang for 00:02:23.599 --> 00:02:25.300 their buck. And again, that partnership with 00:02:25.300 --> 00:02:27.780 owner Duffy, it just makes the most sense. So 00:02:27.780 --> 00:02:29.759 here's what we know. They will be having a several 00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:32.080 watch parties. So Sunday, June 14th, they'll 00:02:32.080 --> 00:02:34.479 be for the Germany versus Cressado games as well 00:02:34.479 --> 00:02:37.550 as Netherlands versus Japan. Friday June 19th 00:02:37.550 --> 00:02:40.210 of course USA versus Australia and Scotland versus 00:02:40.210 --> 00:02:43.409 Morocco and then Saturday June 27th again Panama 00:02:43.409 --> 00:02:45.990 versus England and Colombia versus Portugal. 00:02:46.330 --> 00:02:50.189 Now you need to go to RhodeIslandLC .com and 00:02:50.189 --> 00:02:53.310 claim the free ticket access. This will be a 00:02:53.310 --> 00:02:56.069 ticketed event to get into the guild. These tickets 00:02:56.069 --> 00:02:58.229 are free. but they know that they are going to 00:02:58.229 --> 00:03:00.729 be exceeding threshold for headcount. So they 00:03:00.729 --> 00:03:03.069 want to understand who's coming, how many people 00:03:03.069 --> 00:03:05.669 are coming and be able to turn people away that 00:03:05.669 --> 00:03:07.689 maybe thought they could just roll in and be 00:03:07.689 --> 00:03:10.270 first come first serve. So go get those tickets 00:03:10.270 --> 00:03:12.349 for free. Jason, we saw that at the Cape Verde 00:03:12.349 --> 00:03:14.210 match. That was a free event and we saw people 00:03:14.210 --> 00:03:16.909 who couldn't get in because there weren't any 00:03:16.909 --> 00:03:19.530 tickets left to be distributed. However, we also 00:03:19.530 --> 00:03:21.729 know that Centerville Bank Stadium was not officially 00:03:21.729 --> 00:03:23.569 sold out. There was plenty of space for more 00:03:23.569 --> 00:03:25.840 people to come in if they had wanted to. Yeah, 00:03:25.840 --> 00:03:29.659 but that also probably was due to like the staffing 00:03:29.659 --> 00:03:32.860 on the night, right? They allotted for a certain 00:03:32.860 --> 00:03:36.280 amount of people. I don't know if there was a 00:03:36.280 --> 00:03:38.860 situation where too like people will claim free 00:03:38.860 --> 00:03:41.560 things and never exercise the right to actually 00:03:41.560 --> 00:03:45.379 attend these events. So I'd be curious what that 00:03:45.379 --> 00:03:47.939 conversion rate looked like. I hope that considering 00:03:47.939 --> 00:03:49.719 how many people wanted to go that, that people 00:03:49.719 --> 00:03:52.969 who got the tickets actually went. And, you know, 00:03:53.050 --> 00:03:56.969 when we think back to our FCs playoff runs, the 00:03:56.969 --> 00:03:59.849 guild was packed to the bone and that is just 00:03:59.849 --> 00:04:02.129 our FC. This is the world cup. Now we're going 00:04:02.129 --> 00:04:04.129 to have people visiting from out of town. You're 00:04:04.129 --> 00:04:06.830 going to have people maybe who aren't privy to 00:04:06.830 --> 00:04:09.009 our FC or just kind of don't care about it. Cause 00:04:09.009 --> 00:04:11.389 they have allegiances to other, other teams, 00:04:11.509 --> 00:04:14.800 other leagues. And so it kind of makes sense 00:04:14.800 --> 00:04:16.939 that they're going to have to kind of watch this 00:04:16.939 --> 00:04:18.779 carefully so they don't get in trouble the fire 00:04:18.779 --> 00:04:21.519 marshal again there. Yeah, no, absolutely. And 00:04:21.519 --> 00:04:23.920 then so that's the Rhode Island FC official side 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:25.860 of it. Now we're going to get into the defiant 00:04:25.860 --> 00:04:28.139 side of what they've announced so far. So Rhode 00:04:28.139 --> 00:04:31.019 Island FC partnering with three separate locations 00:04:31.019 --> 00:04:33.720 for select watch parties. First and foremost, 00:04:34.120 --> 00:04:36.879 the American opening game against Paraguay on 00:04:36.879 --> 00:04:40.220 Friday, June 12th. That's a 9 p .m. game. That 00:04:40.220 --> 00:04:42.139 will also be at the Guild. So now you have a 00:04:42.139 --> 00:04:44.240 third game or fourth game with technically a 00:04:44.240 --> 00:04:47.800 watch party at the Guild. Then Saturday in a 00:04:47.800 --> 00:04:50.980 game against for Brazil against Morocco on June 00:04:50.980 --> 00:04:54.759 13th. at 6 p .m. They're going to be at Trinity 00:04:54.759 --> 00:04:57.000 Brew House. There's a relationship going there 00:04:57.000 --> 00:04:58.759 where you know Trinity's reached out to Defiance. 00:04:58.839 --> 00:05:00.779 They want them there for that match and then 00:05:00.779 --> 00:05:02.779 here's the conflicting one which goes against 00:05:02.779 --> 00:05:05.560 what Rhode Island FC is doing. Defiance obviously 00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:07.360 partnering with Robin Front and they're going 00:05:07.360 --> 00:05:10.139 to be doing the Germany versus Curacao game on 00:05:10.139 --> 00:05:12.879 Sunday June 14th at the German American Culture 00:05:12.879 --> 00:05:16.220 Society of Rhode Island. So you can't go wrong. 00:05:16.360 --> 00:05:18.319 You're going to watch that game with someone 00:05:18.319 --> 00:05:20.449 from Rhode Island if you choose either camp I 00:05:20.449 --> 00:05:22.269 think we know we're going to be and that's probably 00:05:22.269 --> 00:05:23.730 going to be with the Germans hanging out and 00:05:23.730 --> 00:05:26.430 doing German stuff. So really excited on that 00:05:26.430 --> 00:05:29.430 one. We've talked about other matches we want 00:05:29.430 --> 00:05:31.810 to go to. I think without burning out the spots 00:05:31.810 --> 00:05:34.230 or getting this too long in the tooth when it 00:05:34.230 --> 00:05:35.910 comes to the locations, I know we're going to 00:05:35.910 --> 00:05:38.550 go to Monica for a couple of matches. I know 00:05:38.550 --> 00:05:41.110 we're going to go to the PVD fan zone. I know 00:05:41.110 --> 00:05:42.689 we're going to explore like going to one of those 00:05:42.689 --> 00:05:45.189 Mexican bars downtown for the Mexico home opener. 00:05:46.110 --> 00:05:48.230 So is there any, is there any location that I'm 00:05:48.230 --> 00:05:50.290 missing that you've been studying? Like we got 00:05:50.290 --> 00:05:53.329 to go catch at least a match there? No, I think 00:05:53.329 --> 00:05:55.050 a lot of it, like you said, sometimes we'll come 00:05:55.050 --> 00:05:57.269 down to who's actually playing and it's like, 00:05:57.310 --> 00:05:59.470 is there a community there that we can just go 00:05:59.470 --> 00:06:02.610 like have a great time and, and support their 00:06:02.610 --> 00:06:05.129 team with them and watch the match? You know, 00:06:05.129 --> 00:06:09.480 I think I'll probably Try and hit as many matches 00:06:09.480 --> 00:06:12.579 with other people as possible Maybe one or two 00:06:12.579 --> 00:06:14.560 or just kind of like have to just stay home and 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.060 watch it because there's no other option But 00:06:17.060 --> 00:06:20.019 uh, but yeah, I think it should be fun. We're 00:06:20.019 --> 00:06:21.839 gonna be out in the town try and meet as many 00:06:21.839 --> 00:06:25.220 different people and just enjoy the World Cup. 00:06:25.439 --> 00:06:27.220 Yeah, so if you guys have recommendations, slide 00:06:27.220 --> 00:06:29.639 into the DMs, message us, do whatever it takes. 00:06:29.899 --> 00:06:31.699 We've heard about Continues and Picos for the 00:06:31.699 --> 00:06:33.839 Cape Verde team games. I've heard about a couple 00:06:33.839 --> 00:06:36.420 places in Central Falls and the Greater Pawtucket 00:06:36.420 --> 00:06:39.079 area for some Colombian matches. So if there's 00:06:39.079 --> 00:06:41.540 a place we need to be to watch a game amongst 00:06:41.540 --> 00:06:43.899 the people, please let us know. We'll be happy 00:06:43.899 --> 00:06:46.399 to make sure that we go and support because we 00:06:46.399 --> 00:06:48.480 do want to be to as many of these games as possible. 00:06:49.060 --> 00:06:51.319 But got to move on and start talking about the 00:06:51.319 --> 00:06:53.620 big news that happened on Friday. Producer Torn 00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:56.319 got this completely wrong because Logan Dorsey 00:06:56.319 --> 00:06:59.079 was not an X factor on this match so much so 00:06:59.079 --> 00:07:02.339 that he was X off of this team. I've got some 00:07:02.339 --> 00:07:03.839 details that I can expand upon. I know a lot 00:07:03.839 --> 00:07:05.079 of people have been asking us all week. We've 00:07:05.079 --> 00:07:06.519 shared some things, but we have some more things 00:07:06.519 --> 00:07:09.240 we can unpack here. Do you want to start things 00:07:09.240 --> 00:07:10.860 off or is there anything that you need to ask 00:07:10.860 --> 00:07:13.480 before we get into this? I just like it kind 00:07:13.480 --> 00:07:15.699 of feels like it was out of left field. You know, 00:07:15.699 --> 00:07:17.480 like like you said, it was funny that producer 00:07:17.480 --> 00:07:19.120 Torn was like, oh yeah, it was hyping him up. 00:07:19.120 --> 00:07:21.680 And then of course, like he just often disappears. 00:07:22.160 --> 00:07:25.290 It's unfortunate to see him go especially now 00:07:25.290 --> 00:07:28.110 that like we see that he's in another team in 00:07:28.110 --> 00:07:30.110 the league and especially a team that we haven't 00:07:30.110 --> 00:07:32.529 played yet so he could be used against us which 00:07:32.529 --> 00:07:35.810 is not ideal and I think that will be the thing 00:07:35.810 --> 00:07:38.050 that we see the most is he will be used against 00:07:38.050 --> 00:07:43.089 us in that August 29th match Clay also had some 00:07:43.089 --> 00:07:45.829 comments about it at the end of the game. Listen, 00:07:45.949 --> 00:07:47.870 this is a first for the club. We are no stranger 00:07:47.870 --> 00:07:50.529 when it comes to having low knees recalled. We've 00:07:50.529 --> 00:07:53.709 now seen it with first and foremost Jack Paniotou 00:07:53.709 --> 00:07:55.870 famously getting recalled. We've seen it with 00:07:55.870 --> 00:07:58.149 Matthew Corker in where we didn't even understand 00:07:58.149 --> 00:07:59.649 that signing in the first place. It was only 00:07:59.649 --> 00:08:01.800 going to be a handful of games. And now we see 00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:03.560 Logan Dorsey, you know, there was a couple of 00:08:03.560 --> 00:08:05.019 questions in the mailbag, like, do we need to 00:08:05.019 --> 00:08:07.480 protect pity at all costs? I don't think that 00:08:07.480 --> 00:08:10.300 move is even financially viable to recall him 00:08:10.300 --> 00:08:12.379 at this point, because I'm not sure where he 00:08:12.379 --> 00:08:15.259 would be able to even make it make sense cost 00:08:15.259 --> 00:08:18.139 effectiveness wise to find another playing opportunity 00:08:18.139 --> 00:08:20.319 somewhere else. So I think pity is at any risk. 00:08:20.800 --> 00:08:22.839 There's a lot more to unpack here with Logan 00:08:22.839 --> 00:08:24.740 Dorsey, though. And you know, first and foremost, 00:08:24.800 --> 00:08:26.600 we have to talk about where Logan Dorsey is in 00:08:26.600 --> 00:08:28.639 this career. You know, he came off of being one 00:08:28.639 --> 00:08:31.540 of the most electric strikers out of MLS Next 00:08:31.540 --> 00:08:34.580 Pro last season. There were a lot of clubs that 00:08:34.580 --> 00:08:37.419 wanted to see Dorsey in their camps during the 00:08:37.419 --> 00:08:39.799 preseason or maybe being a trialist or even just 00:08:39.799 --> 00:08:42.120 signing outright on the championship and even 00:08:42.120 --> 00:08:45.500 USL one side of things. And you have to understand 00:08:45.500 --> 00:08:48.340 that there's a very good relationship between 00:08:48.340 --> 00:08:51.299 Minnesota United and Rhode Island FC. It's not. 00:08:51.389 --> 00:08:54.429 Just luck that we've had Morris Dugan, Hugo Baccarac, 00:08:54.610 --> 00:08:57.409 and now Logan Dorsey on alone. There's a relationship 00:08:57.409 --> 00:09:00.570 between these technical staffs that has grown 00:09:00.570 --> 00:09:02.830 into something very, I think, successful when 00:09:02.830 --> 00:09:05.429 we look at all three of these players. But then 00:09:05.429 --> 00:09:08.169 when you look at Logan Dorsey specifically, it's 00:09:08.169 --> 00:09:10.710 pretty transparent as to why he's no longer with 00:09:10.710 --> 00:09:14.509 Rhode Island FC. Only gets 146 minutes across 00:09:14.509 --> 00:09:17.610 all of his playing opportunities, gets the first 00:09:17.610 --> 00:09:19.590 goal of the season. He's plastered all over at 00:09:19.590 --> 00:09:22.450 ilnfc .com, or at least he was for that first 00:09:22.450 --> 00:09:26.549 goal at home this year. Two goals in that same 00:09:26.549 --> 00:09:29.830 time span. That's not a bad per 90 stat line, 00:09:30.009 --> 00:09:33.190 but here we are almost at the halfway point in 00:09:33.190 --> 00:09:36.470 the season and only 146 minutes for a player. 00:09:36.860 --> 00:09:39.179 who was playing in almost every match, almost 00:09:39.179 --> 00:09:41.279 the entirety of her match, scoring in the double 00:09:41.279 --> 00:09:44.340 digits last season in an MLS Next Pro side, you 00:09:44.340 --> 00:09:46.240 start to have to ask questions, whether you're 00:09:46.240 --> 00:09:48.799 Minnesota United, you're Logan Dorsey yourself 00:09:48.799 --> 00:09:51.220 on like, what exactly is this going to be for 00:09:51.220 --> 00:09:53.559 me? Especially if Minnesota is looking at him 00:09:53.559 --> 00:09:57.000 as being the next guy, possibly being a secondary 00:09:57.000 --> 00:09:59.700 tertiary striker for the senior team sooner than 00:09:59.700 --> 00:10:02.279 later. These questions all start to kind of percolate 00:10:02.279 --> 00:10:04.139 to the top and say like, hey, what's really going 00:10:04.139 --> 00:10:06.700 on with Logan? Why isn't he playing? Yeah. And 00:10:06.700 --> 00:10:08.720 then what's crazy is you, you brought up a few 00:10:08.720 --> 00:10:10.639 other players there. Like if you compare them 00:10:10.639 --> 00:10:14.139 to a Matthew Cochran who was here for what four 00:10:14.139 --> 00:10:16.500 or five games, he put up more minutes than Logan 00:10:16.500 --> 00:10:21.059 Dorsey did. So it does make you wonder like what 00:10:21.059 --> 00:10:25.220 was going on behind there. Was it, he just wasn't 00:10:25.220 --> 00:10:27.600 fitting. Like what was Kano's vision for the 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:29.940 team? Why wasn't he getting enough minutes? I 00:10:29.940 --> 00:10:32.980 mean, at this point it's all speculation. But 00:10:32.980 --> 00:10:35.360 clearly they, they were not happy and they, like 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:37.879 you said, they, they see him as someone who needs 00:10:37.879 --> 00:10:41.379 that development time. And, you know, Tulsa from 00:10:41.379 --> 00:10:44.860 what I understand needs a striker. So he's probably 00:10:44.860 --> 00:10:48.000 going to get quite a few minutes there. Just 00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:50.419 from a curiosity point, I'll kind of be like 00:10:50.419 --> 00:10:52.679 half paying attention to see like, okay, how 00:10:52.679 --> 00:10:54.879 is he doing? Or are we going to like look back 00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:56.539 on that and regret that? Is he going to have 00:10:56.539 --> 00:10:59.500 a, a good rest of the season, or is this going 00:10:59.500 --> 00:11:01.279 to be one of those things? He comes out the other 00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:04.549 side of it with. Three goals from like, you know, 00:11:04.570 --> 00:11:06.610 900 minutes away. Okay. Yeah, whatever. Like, 00:11:06.789 --> 00:11:08.389 I mean, it's, it's unfortunate we didn't keep 00:11:08.389 --> 00:11:12.139 them, but maybe really not a big loss on our 00:11:12.139 --> 00:11:14.639 side. I mean, so from the conversations I've 00:11:14.639 --> 00:11:16.860 had with both sides, the only person I haven't 00:11:16.860 --> 00:11:19.399 talked to is Logan himself. Ironically, he was 00:11:19.399 --> 00:11:22.299 next on our interview list. So I feel like I 00:11:22.299 --> 00:11:24.019 got to start going after the low knees faster. 00:11:24.220 --> 00:11:26.019 The same thing happened with Jack. I got Jack 00:11:26.019 --> 00:11:28.399 last time, but I got to pay attention to this 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:30.240 in the future. But so from what I've heard from 00:11:30.240 --> 00:11:32.820 both campuses, it's twofold is one. Yes, Minnesota 00:11:32.820 --> 00:11:35.399 wanted to see Logan be playing more, but obviously 00:11:35.399 --> 00:11:38.679 there's no. There's no rules written to the contract 00:11:38.679 --> 00:11:40.799 that if they're not at X minutes, then they get 00:11:40.799 --> 00:11:42.980 recalled. I've heard some things say that like 00:11:42.980 --> 00:11:46.299 the the loan expired, which that was interesting. 00:11:46.419 --> 00:11:47.820 I haven't been able to confirm that either on 00:11:47.820 --> 00:11:49.940 whether these are set up in six month windows 00:11:49.940 --> 00:11:53.139 and then they're reevaluated so that both teams 00:11:53.139 --> 00:11:55.620 can analyze and say, hey, we're. I'm going to 00:11:55.620 --> 00:11:58.179 recall him at this point. We're at that maturation 00:11:58.179 --> 00:12:00.679 date, but what is the thing I know for sure is 00:12:00.679 --> 00:12:03.799 that this was not a decision from Minnesota United. 00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:06.200 A lot of people and maybe I maybe misled people 00:12:06.200 --> 00:12:08.679 too, saying Minnesota wants to see Logan take 00:12:08.679 --> 00:12:11.659 the next step. This entire decision was activated 00:12:11.659 --> 00:12:14.340 by Logan Dorsey himself, so I want to make sure 00:12:14.340 --> 00:12:17.779 people understand that that Logan chose and requested 00:12:17.779 --> 00:12:20.799 to be released from Rhode Island FC to then go 00:12:20.799 --> 00:12:23.720 play somewhere else now. clearly with the level 00:12:23.720 --> 00:12:25.879 of speed and expediting that this happened in 00:12:25.879 --> 00:12:29.179 both the recall of the loan and then the signing 00:12:29.179 --> 00:12:31.580 of FC Tulsa, this was probably something that 00:12:31.580 --> 00:12:34.500 was being negotiated as soon as Logan felt uncomfortable. 00:12:34.840 --> 00:12:36.580 And we'll hear some things from both Kano and 00:12:36.580 --> 00:12:38.440 Clay a little later that kind of match that up. 00:12:38.879 --> 00:12:40.779 But from what I've been told directly from my 00:12:40.779 --> 00:12:43.659 sources is that Logan needed, he felt that he 00:12:43.659 --> 00:12:45.419 needed to get more playing time, he needed to 00:12:45.419 --> 00:12:47.620 be more productive, and he needed to use this 00:12:47.620 --> 00:12:50.179 year to catapult himself. It wasn't a decision 00:12:50.179 --> 00:12:52.519 he came easily to. He did not want to leave Rhode 00:12:52.519 --> 00:12:55.500 Island F .C., but I think all parties understood 00:12:55.500 --> 00:12:58.379 where he was at and said, OK, Logan's got to 00:12:58.379 --> 00:13:00.080 do what's best for Logan. And unfortunately, 00:13:00.220 --> 00:13:02.080 that means his time with Rhode Island F .C. comes 00:13:02.080 --> 00:13:04.919 to a rather albeit short end, unfortunately. 00:13:05.680 --> 00:13:07.759 Is that something that you say like you're a 00:13:07.759 --> 00:13:09.919 little surprised and when you see strikers wanting 00:13:09.919 --> 00:13:12.879 to get out because Jack door Jack Panagiotto 00:13:12.879 --> 00:13:15.460 Jack Dorsey Jack Panagiotto was his own like 00:13:15.460 --> 00:13:17.179 that was not in his control he would have never 00:13:17.179 --> 00:13:19.740 wanted to leave at that point just for a one 00:13:19.740 --> 00:13:23.360 leagues cup match and Matthew Corcoran I think 00:13:23.360 --> 00:13:24.600 he was just doing everything he could to get 00:13:24.600 --> 00:13:26.779 minutes so that he could make a senior team claim 00:13:26.779 --> 00:13:28.679 by the time they got to playoffs which he did 00:13:28.679 --> 00:13:31.740 especially in that open cup run this one feels 00:13:31.740 --> 00:13:35.059 like the first time ever where Hey, I'm I'm choosing 00:13:35.059 --> 00:13:37.279 not to stay with you Rhode Islanders. I'm breaking 00:13:37.279 --> 00:13:39.480 up with you that change How you feel about a 00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:42.259 player when they do that? No, I think I have 00:13:42.259 --> 00:13:45.059 to you have to respect it right a lot of these 00:13:45.059 --> 00:13:48.360 players do not have long careers and If you feel 00:13:48.360 --> 00:13:50.460 you're in a position where you are not getting 00:13:50.460 --> 00:13:54.059 the time to showcase or develop your talents 00:13:54.059 --> 00:13:57.379 Waiting another six months to a year. That's 00:13:57.379 --> 00:14:01.059 a long long time in regards to a soccer player's 00:14:01.059 --> 00:14:04.470 career So I kind of understand it if he if he 00:14:04.470 --> 00:14:07.330 felt that he needed to move on to develop his 00:14:07.330 --> 00:14:10.129 game. Some fortunate like I said if it turns 00:14:10.129 --> 00:14:13.009 out that he comes good then maybe we look back 00:14:13.009 --> 00:14:15.710 on that and think maybe could we have done better 00:14:15.710 --> 00:14:17.950 there you know could be could be a lesson for 00:14:17.950 --> 00:14:19.809 us but yeah I can't hate him for it. I think 00:14:19.809 --> 00:14:21.809 the two interesting things for fans to watch 00:14:21.809 --> 00:14:24.289 in Logan's career now progression wise with FC 00:14:24.289 --> 00:14:26.750 Tulsa remember John Morris he said one of his 00:14:26.750 --> 00:14:29.740 biggest like. got it wrong or surprises of the 00:14:29.740 --> 00:14:31.899 year in player pool was the fact that Philip 00:14:31.899 --> 00:14:34.460 Goodrum was not really being activated FC Tulsa. 00:14:34.820 --> 00:14:38.360 So now with his time there, would that transform 00:14:38.360 --> 00:14:41.899 into more productivity? And I look at Goodrum 00:14:41.899 --> 00:14:44.539 as a similar player profile to Williams. We kept 00:14:44.539 --> 00:14:47.299 asking, could we put two brute force strikers 00:14:47.299 --> 00:14:49.820 in at the same time in a double strike force 00:14:49.820 --> 00:14:52.980 pairing? If we see Logan play alongside Goodrum. 00:14:53.259 --> 00:14:56.379 What would that mean for this team? And did we 00:14:56.379 --> 00:14:57.980 not take those notes because that's I think the 00:14:57.980 --> 00:15:00.080 most interesting part on will he be successful? 00:15:00.100 --> 00:15:01.799 And then of course, how many goals is he going 00:15:01.799 --> 00:15:05.100 to score against us on August 29th? I mean, hopefully 00:15:05.100 --> 00:15:08.480 none, but. The way we're cursed. I mean, yeah, 00:15:08.539 --> 00:15:10.899 he'll probably at least pick up one. Logan Dorsey 00:15:10.899 --> 00:15:12.720 chose to play on a baseball field and said they 00:15:12.720 --> 00:15:14.480 would stay with Rhode Island FC. That's all I'm 00:15:14.480 --> 00:15:16.100 going to say. But hey, we got to get to break. 00:15:16.139 --> 00:15:17.399 And when we return, we're going to break down 00:15:17.399 --> 00:15:19.879 the table standings and Prinks Cup action, as 00:15:19.879 --> 00:15:22.740 well as how Kano constructed this team ahead 00:15:22.740 --> 00:15:25.500 of that match last weekend. All here on the Raising 00:15:25.500 --> 00:15:30.620 Anchor Soccer Show. Thank you for listening to 00:15:30.620 --> 00:15:33.220 tonight's broadcast powered by Sprout Coworking. 00:15:33.240 --> 00:15:35.539 For all your business needs, large or small, 00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:40.299 visit SproutCoworking .com. Powering 990 WBOB, 00:15:40.600 --> 00:15:43.899 that's SproutCoworking .com. Now let's get back 00:15:43.899 --> 00:15:47.600 to the raising anchor soccer ship on 990 WBOB 00:15:47.600 --> 00:15:52.100 with Matt Entrickett and Jason Carey. All right. 00:15:52.519 --> 00:15:55.480 With the win over Westchester there, RAFC were 00:15:55.480 --> 00:15:58.990 in second place. and uh the group there until 00:15:58.990 --> 00:16:03.070 uh sunday afternoon when uh brooklyn kind of 00:16:03.070 --> 00:16:06.409 thrashed part uh partland hearts of pines there 00:16:06.409 --> 00:16:09.029 five one something we can't do apparently every 00:16:09.029 --> 00:16:11.870 other championship team no problem getting through 00:16:11.870 --> 00:16:15.370 the hearts of pine yeah not sure what happened 00:16:15.370 --> 00:16:18.870 there um we do play brooklyn in the final round 00:16:18.870 --> 00:16:21.950 so beating them can put us in a really good potential 00:16:21.950 --> 00:16:24.649 spot for second place The thing we don't know 00:16:24.649 --> 00:16:27.529 is how Hartford will manage their last game, 00:16:27.850 --> 00:16:31.929 but they play Westchester. So I don't expect 00:16:31.929 --> 00:16:35.269 them to drop any points there. And the thing 00:16:35.269 --> 00:16:38.710 is second place is just for the wild card. So 00:16:38.710 --> 00:16:42.110 we're currently not the best wild card moving 00:16:42.110 --> 00:16:45.029 forward. So we definitely have to hope that some 00:16:45.029 --> 00:16:49.419 other dominoes fall in our place. So. Still still 00:16:49.419 --> 00:16:52.259 work to do, but it's unfortunately really not 00:16:52.259 --> 00:16:54.679 in our hands there so mathematically though what 00:16:54.679 --> 00:16:57.179 you're saying if I interpreted that right is 00:16:57.179 --> 00:17:00.799 that should Rhode Island FC win. And Hartford 00:17:00.799 --> 00:17:05.099 lose and Brooklyn lose you obviously they would 00:17:05.099 --> 00:17:07.859 have been you're saying there's a chance there 00:17:07.859 --> 00:17:11.039 is a chance maybe maybe Westchester pulls out 00:17:11.039 --> 00:17:14.400 a generational performance. Connor McGlynn you 00:17:14.400 --> 00:17:17.849 know turns into like. Prime Daniele De Rossi 00:17:17.849 --> 00:17:20.829 from Roma and just, you know, thrashes them somehow. 00:17:21.069 --> 00:17:23.930 Like, who knows? Is there any way where we're 00:17:23.930 --> 00:17:26.769 allowed to legally loan players down to Westchester 00:17:26.769 --> 00:17:30.190 for that game? I mean, USL has some weird rules. 00:17:30.309 --> 00:17:32.529 I mean, Westchester has a, I heard on last week's 00:17:32.529 --> 00:17:34.089 show when I was absent, they have their goalkeeper 00:17:34.089 --> 00:17:36.509 coach activated as their backup keeper right 00:17:36.509 --> 00:17:39.410 now. How, like, do we need to have a one day 00:17:39.410 --> 00:17:41.930 contract for JJ just to dunk on them or something? 00:17:42.299 --> 00:17:45.339 How do we help Westchester help us at this point? 00:17:46.500 --> 00:17:49.660 But looking at it though too, even if we were 00:17:49.660 --> 00:17:53.259 to win and they were to lose in a draw based 00:17:53.259 --> 00:17:55.700 on the goal differential alone, not only do we 00:17:55.700 --> 00:17:58.039 then have to beat Brooklyn, we would also have 00:17:58.039 --> 00:18:00.420 to mathematically do it by a factor of what we 00:18:00.420 --> 00:18:03.420 are down. We're plus two, they're plus five. 00:18:03.960 --> 00:18:05.859 So we need at least three goals without Brooklyn 00:18:05.859 --> 00:18:07.720 responding and it would need to be a nil nil 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:12.200 where they lose in pens to Westchester. that's 00:18:12.200 --> 00:18:14.400 the minimum floor or they lose outright and we 00:18:14.400 --> 00:18:18.180 win and it doesn't matter so it's possible but 00:18:18.180 --> 00:18:22.279 a lot of things have to go our way there that's 00:18:22.279 --> 00:18:24.579 that is tough you don't like to see it and like 00:18:24.579 --> 00:18:26.359 you said there's so many other teams that are 00:18:26.359 --> 00:18:30.200 already at six points or more with again similar 00:18:30.200 --> 00:18:32.559 opponents in their competitions remaining that 00:18:32.559 --> 00:18:34.940 the wild card is really out of our reach so a 00:18:34.940 --> 00:18:37.140 lot of things have to go really right for this 00:18:37.140 --> 00:18:40.740 now It sucks to see I have one question that 00:18:40.740 --> 00:18:42.579 I want to advocate for and I think this needs 00:18:42.579 --> 00:18:45.059 to be something that's changed at the USL HQ 00:18:45.059 --> 00:18:48.579 level moving forward. I feel like that one of 00:18:48.579 --> 00:18:50.579 the things that did not go well for us in this 00:18:50.579 --> 00:18:53.039 is that both of our first rounds of the tournament 00:18:53.039 --> 00:18:56.319 were away matches and I feel like that teams 00:18:56.319 --> 00:18:59.480 need to be given every opportunity to not fall 00:18:59.480 --> 00:19:02.299 so far behind in the point standings that they 00:19:02.299 --> 00:19:06.359 need a way home away home or a. home away, a 00:19:06.359 --> 00:19:10.259 home away. Like I really feel for the sanctity 00:19:10.259 --> 00:19:12.400 of this tournament that that's something that 00:19:12.400 --> 00:19:14.980 should have to happen. I also think that if you're 00:19:14.980 --> 00:19:18.220 going to mix things up, it could possibly still 00:19:18.220 --> 00:19:21.200 be championship side, then a USL one side, then 00:19:21.200 --> 00:19:23.160 championship side. I think there needs to be 00:19:23.160 --> 00:19:25.559 a little bit better schedule regimen on this. 00:19:25.960 --> 00:19:28.059 Do you think I'm crazy for saying that? Or because 00:19:28.059 --> 00:19:30.440 I mean, our first game, imagine the momentum 00:19:30.440 --> 00:19:32.119 that this would have built if this had been our 00:19:32.119 --> 00:19:35.210 opening salvo in the Prince Tires Cup. You know, 00:19:35.210 --> 00:19:37.150 I don't think you're crazy there. I mean, we, 00:19:37.250 --> 00:19:39.150 the benefit of having two away is then now we 00:19:39.150 --> 00:19:42.210 have two at home, right? So if we could have 00:19:42.210 --> 00:19:44.309 mustered a little bit better of a performance, 00:19:44.609 --> 00:19:46.849 then, you know, maybe we be in a really good 00:19:46.849 --> 00:19:49.390 position. The problem is with only four matches, 00:19:49.910 --> 00:19:52.849 you really don't have any like room to slip up, 00:19:52.990 --> 00:19:55.569 especially because there's numerous teams in 00:19:55.569 --> 00:19:57.910 each group where they're not all playing each 00:19:57.910 --> 00:20:01.490 other. So it's not really an even playing field. 00:20:02.619 --> 00:20:05.539 So some of it is just unfortunately just kind 00:20:05.539 --> 00:20:09.160 of a dice roll I think as the league continues 00:20:09.160 --> 00:20:11.859 to expand we grow more teams Maybe they will 00:20:11.859 --> 00:20:14.359 continue to look at this competition and there's 00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.240 some things they can do to maybe Maybe even actually 00:20:17.240 --> 00:20:19.420 expand the amount of groups right and just have 00:20:19.420 --> 00:20:21.920 smaller groups and become a little even more 00:20:21.920 --> 00:20:23.859 regional and just say hey You know, these are 00:20:23.859 --> 00:20:26.279 the four teams in this group Everyone plays each 00:20:26.279 --> 00:20:28.619 other once home one away or something and then 00:20:28.619 --> 00:20:30.579 we'll move on from there into like some sort 00:20:30.579 --> 00:20:34.809 of bracket but at this point like a I can't hate 00:20:34.809 --> 00:20:37.490 it, you know, we I think we just we kind of Got 00:20:37.490 --> 00:20:40.029 a little bit of a favorable draw last year and 00:20:40.029 --> 00:20:42.210 this time maybe not so much But we also kind 00:20:42.210 --> 00:20:44.049 of shot ourselves in the foot there, too I know 00:20:44.049 --> 00:20:46.230 this is like not the point of this conversation 00:20:46.230 --> 00:20:48.150 But one of the things that irks me the most is 00:20:48.150 --> 00:20:49.869 that I just don't believe that we needed this 00:20:49.869 --> 00:20:53.140 tournament yet. I feel like with the amount of 00:20:53.140 --> 00:20:55.920 teams that are in each of the USL one and the 00:20:55.920 --> 00:20:57.759 championship. I think this could have been a 00:20:57.759 --> 00:21:00.099 tournament that lived in USL one for a little 00:21:00.099 --> 00:21:03.000 bit longer because they only have what? 17 teams 00:21:03.000 --> 00:21:06.519 in USL one with championship at 25. I still much 00:21:06.519 --> 00:21:08.880 would have rather seen us play every opponent 00:21:08.880 --> 00:21:11.779 in both the Eastern and Western Conference and 00:21:11.779 --> 00:21:14.799 get to this when the teams kind of more spread 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:17.039 themselves out evenly when Premier activates. 00:21:17.440 --> 00:21:20.869 I still don't really like. Cause now mathematically 00:21:20.869 --> 00:21:22.329 it's possible. I hear what you're saying, but 00:21:22.329 --> 00:21:24.910 I think part of this is to like, they're trying 00:21:24.910 --> 00:21:27.089 to mirror European soccer more, right? So you 00:21:27.089 --> 00:21:30.650 have a tournament that is just your, your divisions, 00:21:30.730 --> 00:21:33.970 your teams throwing the top on the fact that 00:21:33.970 --> 00:21:37.769 open cup is it's still alive, but it feels like 00:21:37.769 --> 00:21:40.809 it's, you know, MLS is trying to ignore it. Like 00:21:40.809 --> 00:21:43.670 it's not that important of a thing. Who knows 00:21:43.670 --> 00:21:45.730 what that'll look like in a few more years. If 00:21:45.730 --> 00:21:48.670 that competition will even like still exists. 00:21:48.880 --> 00:21:52.559 I hope it does, but. But at that point, I think 00:21:52.559 --> 00:21:54.500 USL was trying to get ahead of the fact that 00:21:54.500 --> 00:21:58.140 like they're trying to bring like more and a 00:21:58.140 --> 00:22:00.000 ride to their own league. And like, look, we 00:22:00.000 --> 00:22:01.980 have our own competitions. If you don't want 00:22:01.980 --> 00:22:04.220 to do the Open Cup like, you know, we're going 00:22:04.220 --> 00:22:06.059 to just do our own thing. Or when Birmingham 00:22:06.059 --> 00:22:08.400 Legion doesn't even qualify for the Open Cup. 00:22:08.880 --> 00:22:11.200 Yeah, we go that route. But listen, we got to 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:14.119 move on. It's just an observation. Let's get 00:22:14.119 --> 00:22:15.680 forward. So how did Kano set up for this? Because 00:22:15.680 --> 00:22:18.099 I think he fielded. Probably the best possible 00:22:18.099 --> 00:22:19.640 starting line. If we had questions ahead of this, 00:22:19.740 --> 00:22:21.880 would he do that or would he go a different direction? 00:22:22.059 --> 00:22:25.480 And I think he got this one right. Yeah, he fielded 00:22:25.480 --> 00:22:28.299 a very strong lineup here with Koke Vegas and 00:22:28.299 --> 00:22:32.000 Net here. Back for Nick Skardina, Kareefa Yao, 00:22:32.240 --> 00:22:34.960 Freg Nodarse and Aldair Sanchez. We saw a return 00:22:34.960 --> 00:22:37.779 of Nodarse there, kind of a center back roll. 00:22:39.079 --> 00:22:41.480 Holy midfielders there, Clay Holstad and Hugo 00:22:41.480 --> 00:22:44.329 Baccarac. With, uh, your attacking midfielders 00:22:44.329 --> 00:22:46.829 of know if you saw an Amos Shapiro, Thompson, 00:22:47.210 --> 00:22:51.029 Augustine Rodriguez, and JJ Williams up top. 00:22:51.289 --> 00:22:53.069 Conno definitely showing that he's taking this 00:22:53.069 --> 00:22:56.250 very seriously, pulling no punches. I mean, that 00:22:56.250 --> 00:22:58.809 kind of had to there's if they did not win, there's 00:22:58.809 --> 00:23:01.619 no opportunity to all for them to advance. Right. 00:23:01.720 --> 00:23:03.220 No, I mean, and, you know, we're going to talk 00:23:03.220 --> 00:23:04.880 about a couple of things really quickly here. 00:23:05.180 --> 00:23:07.460 Good to see Jamie Peters back in the rotation. 00:23:07.460 --> 00:23:10.460 Obviously now someone's got to fill in for striker 00:23:10.460 --> 00:23:12.740 number three or two on the night with Logan Dorsey 00:23:12.740 --> 00:23:16.619 now gone Leo Afonso. I'm not sure if he was relegated 00:23:16.619 --> 00:23:19.940 to the secondary role because there was a lack 00:23:19.940 --> 00:23:22.279 of striker output. That'll be something we're 00:23:22.279 --> 00:23:24.220 going to have to watch because historically we've 00:23:24.220 --> 00:23:26.980 seen Afonso get on the starting eleven. He gets 00:23:26.980 --> 00:23:29.140 a goal in this game, so that'll be something 00:23:29.140 --> 00:23:32.089 to watch. I want to ask, though, beyond the fact 00:23:32.089 --> 00:23:34.769 that Jamin Peters and, of course, the legendary 00:23:34.769 --> 00:23:38.630 Kevin Vang get into their USL Cup debuts, want 00:23:38.630 --> 00:23:41.150 to ask about Petty Rodriguez out on the left 00:23:41.150 --> 00:23:42.670 wing. We've seen him float there. We've seen 00:23:42.670 --> 00:23:45.390 him combine with Afonso or even Quisera when 00:23:45.390 --> 00:23:48.210 he gets over there. How do we feel more with 00:23:48.210 --> 00:23:51.210 Rodriguez pushed out wide versus being tucked 00:23:51.210 --> 00:23:53.430 in centrally in a more distribution and chance 00:23:53.430 --> 00:23:56.490 creation role? I thought he had another and another 00:23:56.490 --> 00:23:59.450 good match there. We saw him play out there out 00:23:59.450 --> 00:24:02.819 wide against Indy. Very much a little bit a little 00:24:02.819 --> 00:24:05.640 too little too late there kind of to salvage 00:24:05.640 --> 00:24:08.500 anything from that match But he was he was definitely 00:24:08.500 --> 00:24:10.880 creating some attacking opportunities whipping 00:24:10.880 --> 00:24:14.740 in some crosses there So I I don't I don't hate 00:24:14.740 --> 00:24:16.980 it as long as the team continues to perform well 00:24:16.980 --> 00:24:20.440 and pick up points I Agree completely on that 00:24:20.440 --> 00:24:22.119 the other question, you know, we saw this we 00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:24.099 were discussing on the discord with some people 00:24:24.099 --> 00:24:25.900 earlier in the week We were talking about will 00:24:25.900 --> 00:24:28.559 Danny Rivera ever see the light of day on this 00:24:28.559 --> 00:24:31.670 team again didn't see him in this match in that 00:24:31.670 --> 00:24:35.430 capacity. I hope they let him outside. That being 00:24:35.430 --> 00:24:38.549 said, though, you know, we're definitely a back 00:24:38.549 --> 00:24:40.890 four now. And I had mentioned how, you know, 00:24:40.890 --> 00:24:43.289 it's it's unfortunate to not be able to see a 00:24:43.289 --> 00:24:45.829 player like Frank D 'Arcy find his way into this 00:24:45.829 --> 00:24:49.529 team because he's not going to unthrone Kareefa 00:24:49.529 --> 00:24:52.369 Yao. He's not going to unthrone Omni -Joke when 00:24:52.369 --> 00:24:55.049 he's, you know, looking good. I do think and 00:24:55.049 --> 00:24:57.450 I still continue to believe that he's a better 00:24:57.450 --> 00:25:00.329 defender right now than Grant Stoneman. So it's 00:25:00.329 --> 00:25:03.369 good to see right back to in left center back 00:25:03.369 --> 00:25:06.890 to his positioning now on the weekend. He looked 00:25:06.890 --> 00:25:09.690 comfortable. He looked good in that role. Is 00:25:09.690 --> 00:25:11.789 there a case to be made that he should be considered? 00:25:12.029 --> 00:25:13.829 I mean, maybe Homidy is probably going to slot 00:25:13.829 --> 00:25:15.609 right back in as soon as we get his timetables 00:25:15.609 --> 00:25:17.829 on his health. But is there a reason that we 00:25:17.829 --> 00:25:19.630 should think that we see rotation between him 00:25:19.630 --> 00:25:21.990 and Stoneman for competing over that spot until 00:25:21.990 --> 00:25:26.029 Omidy returns? I mean, I think it would be Frank's 00:25:26.029 --> 00:25:29.009 position at this point to kind of fight for. 00:25:29.889 --> 00:25:33.509 Um, Stoneman obviously still has some qualities 00:25:33.509 --> 00:25:36.430 I think that he can bring to this team, but I 00:25:36.430 --> 00:25:38.589 think more often than not, you'll see him like 00:25:38.589 --> 00:25:42.309 in that tertiary kind of rotational role. Um, 00:25:42.730 --> 00:25:45.190 maybe if we were in a better position in this 00:25:45.190 --> 00:25:47.910 match, you know, you would have seen him play, 00:25:47.910 --> 00:25:50.250 right? Because we wouldn't have like, this is 00:25:50.250 --> 00:25:52.789 one of those lineups where like we're not taking 00:25:52.789 --> 00:25:54.789 a chance. We have to win this. So I'm putting 00:25:54.789 --> 00:25:58.079 out the best possible lineup I can. But I you 00:25:58.079 --> 00:26:00.779 would think against a you know usl1 team that 00:26:00.779 --> 00:26:03.579 he can he can hold down the fourth. They're perfectly 00:26:03.579 --> 00:26:05.839 fine Yeah, I did remember someone reached out 00:26:05.839 --> 00:26:07.900 and said I didn't realize Kevin Vang was a right 00:26:07.900 --> 00:26:10.259 back because he was swapping in for Nick Scardina 00:26:10.259 --> 00:26:12.920 in the substitution and listen all that matters 00:26:12.920 --> 00:26:15.039 is that you know is that it's not Danny Rivera 00:26:15.039 --> 00:26:17.579 making those plays and Something needs to be 00:26:17.579 --> 00:26:20.420 fixed about that. It's still that still boggles 00:26:20.420 --> 00:26:22.619 my mind really quickly. Who were your heroes? 00:26:22.619 --> 00:26:24.730 Who are your zeros on this roster? Yeah, I'm 00:26:24.730 --> 00:26:26.089 going to have to go with Noah. If you saw him 00:26:26.089 --> 00:26:28.529 as my hero, he put up a really strong performance. 00:26:28.630 --> 00:26:31.349 Didn't get any numbers in terms of goals or assists 00:26:31.349 --> 00:26:34.089 there, but I think that if he continues playing 00:26:34.089 --> 00:26:36.470 the way that he does, he's going to pick some 00:26:36.470 --> 00:26:39.930 up and it's just good to kind of see him playing 00:26:39.930 --> 00:26:42.490 with a little bit more like confidence than, 00:26:42.609 --> 00:26:46.009 than last year with the commanding performance, 00:26:46.029 --> 00:26:47.890 the way that we did, it's hard to like, I can't 00:26:47.890 --> 00:26:49.529 really pick a player as a zero, especially if 00:26:49.529 --> 00:26:52.009 you statistically look at all of them, they all 00:26:52.009 --> 00:26:56.400 were fantastic. You know 730 match time. Maybe 00:26:56.400 --> 00:26:58.079 that's a zero. We got rained on at the end of 00:26:58.079 --> 00:26:59.900 the night They had to push up the fireworks right 00:26:59.900 --> 00:27:02.539 away after the match because the rain was gonna 00:27:02.539 --> 00:27:04.519 happen if the game started a little earlier Maybe 00:27:04.519 --> 00:27:07.799 maybe that wouldn't happen. I don't know It just 00:27:07.799 --> 00:27:10.920 it feels it feels a bit late. I I have heard 00:27:11.899 --> 00:27:13.559 unconfirmed, but I have heard through multiple 00:27:13.559 --> 00:27:16.559 people that have the ability to influence this 00:27:16.559 --> 00:27:18.519 in next year's calendars that there will never 00:27:18.519 --> 00:27:21.220 be a 730 match again. I don't know if that's 00:27:21.220 --> 00:27:23.900 true, but I've heard from several sources that 00:27:23.900 --> 00:27:26.180 it is something that the club is taking a deep 00:27:26.180 --> 00:27:29.079 look at and that they will probably never see 00:27:29.079 --> 00:27:32.819 the light of day again. Those are meant for Tuesday, 00:27:32.980 --> 00:27:34.960 Wednesday games where it's midweek and it's open 00:27:34.960 --> 00:27:37.079 cup or something, right? You could even argue 00:27:37.079 --> 00:27:39.339 the heat of summer. It's like at the apex of 00:27:39.339 --> 00:27:42.390 it. I could see it then too. But not when there's 00:27:42.390 --> 00:27:44.569 still rain prevalent or it's still like you're 00:27:44.569 --> 00:27:46.170 fighting for 50 degree temperatures. Those are 00:27:46.170 --> 00:27:48.329 4 p .m. Games. Let the kids come out and play 00:27:48.329 --> 00:27:51.210 because it was kids night too, especially. All 00:27:51.210 --> 00:27:53.670 right. Well, my hero was Aldo Sanchez. He gets 00:27:53.670 --> 00:27:56.630 an assist. He continues to show really like how 00:27:56.630 --> 00:27:59.210 much he has cemented that left back. Originally 00:27:59.210 --> 00:28:02.289 left wing back role. I don't think there was 00:28:02.289 --> 00:28:04.349 I think there was a moment from last year even 00:28:04.349 --> 00:28:05.490 through now where it's like, you know, could 00:28:05.490 --> 00:28:07.470 you interchange this with any other player? Joe 00:28:07.470 --> 00:28:09.900 J. He was fighting for. That that role amongst 00:28:09.900 --> 00:28:11.920 your J. Now with him on the right side of things 00:28:11.920 --> 00:28:14.000 often, I just don't think there's another player 00:28:14.000 --> 00:28:16.759 that could unsettle all day. All day, Sanchez 00:28:16.759 --> 00:28:18.700 would have to get in his own way to unsettle 00:28:18.700 --> 00:28:21.500 himself and not be a starter on the squad. You 00:28:21.500 --> 00:28:23.200 said it's hard to find a zero. I think that's 00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:25.619 right. I'm going with Zach Carrevo. He doesn't 00:28:25.619 --> 00:28:27.440 deserve it, but I'm not going to be like you 00:28:27.440 --> 00:28:30.359 and not name a player. I think Zach Carrevo had 00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:32.819 the weakest showing on the night, especially 00:28:32.819 --> 00:28:35.750 as a substitute only. didn't feel like he did 00:28:35.750 --> 00:28:38.430 much to change the game. In fact, it felt like 00:28:38.430 --> 00:28:40.250 Rhode Island was a little bit sloppier once he 00:28:40.250 --> 00:28:42.130 came in. Like the rhythm just seemed a little 00:28:42.130 --> 00:28:44.329 off. Took a while for him to grow into it. But 00:28:44.329 --> 00:28:46.549 by no means does he deserve a zero. But I've 00:28:46.549 --> 00:28:48.410 got to give it to one player. And I'm not afraid, 00:28:48.549 --> 00:28:51.150 unlike you, to hurt some feelings along the way. 00:28:51.690 --> 00:28:53.589 But we got to go to our break. And when we return, 00:28:53.710 --> 00:28:56.250 we're going to talk to Kano as well as Klay on 00:28:56.250 --> 00:28:58.130 their opinions on the match and then break down 00:28:58.130 --> 00:29:00.390 some of the biggest moments from a weekend's 00:29:00.390 --> 00:29:02.950 result. It's all here on The Raising Anchor Soccer 00:29:02.950 --> 00:29:08.690 Show.

Now, let's get back to the raising anchor 00:29:24.430 --> 00:29:28.390 soccer ship on 990 WBOB with Matt Entrickett 00:29:28.390 --> 00:29:33.069 and Jason Carey. All right back here on the raising 00:29:33.069 --> 00:29:34.890 anchor soccer show We're gonna start things off 00:29:34.890 --> 00:29:37.950 with coach Kano and his thoughts after the match 00:29:37.950 --> 00:29:40.170 We've heard a lot of feedback about people not 00:29:40.170 --> 00:29:41.730 being able to hear the interview questions So 00:29:41.730 --> 00:29:43.609 I'm gonna break these down for the first time 00:29:43.609 --> 00:29:45.490 ever So we're gonna do this a little bit differently 00:29:45.490 --> 00:29:47.809 tonight, and this is a this is a first run So 00:29:47.809 --> 00:29:50.049 we ask everyone to bear with us in case we get 00:29:50.049 --> 00:29:52.690 this completely wrong But here's coach Kano on 00:29:52.690 --> 00:29:56.809 recapping the match overall So much more from 00:29:56.809 --> 00:29:59.349 the team, I think we can be so much more clinical 00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:05.819 So much dominance in the game and territory. 00:30:06.920 --> 00:30:08.539 They made it difficult for us in the first half. 00:30:08.940 --> 00:30:10.579 They put so many numbers behind the ball. It's 00:30:10.579 --> 00:30:13.539 difficult to break them down. But I still think 00:30:13.539 --> 00:30:16.220 we have players that are good enough to be able 00:30:16.220 --> 00:30:23.220 to break that down. So yeah, obviously happy 00:30:23.220 --> 00:30:26.099 we won at home on kids night and send everybody 00:30:26.099 --> 00:30:28.980 home happy. But so much more we can be better. 00:30:30.620 --> 00:30:33.420 So that's Kano. You know, it's weird. I ran into 00:30:33.420 --> 00:30:35.660 producer Torrin at the match. We actually had 00:30:35.660 --> 00:30:38.420 a 10 minute conversation and this is the truth 00:30:38.420 --> 00:30:42.000 about the inability of this team to break down 00:30:42.000 --> 00:30:44.380 the low block and find scoring opportunities, 00:30:44.480 --> 00:30:47.779 scoring lanes, getting that momentum. It's interesting 00:30:47.779 --> 00:30:51.640 to hear Kano say, despite a very commanding win, 00:30:52.000 --> 00:30:53.740 you know, didn't really give any flowers other 00:30:53.740 --> 00:30:55.819 than it was kids night and that they got the 00:30:55.819 --> 00:30:58.440 win. More frustrating that, you know, and we've 00:30:58.440 --> 00:31:00.970 seen this all season, Jason, that when teams 00:31:00.970 --> 00:31:03.349 start to turtle against us and get more compact 00:31:03.349 --> 00:31:06.289 defensively, that it suddenly becomes a lot more 00:31:06.289 --> 00:31:07.809 difficult for Rhode Island to find the back of 00:31:07.809 --> 00:31:10.369 the net. And a lot of that has to do with the 00:31:10.369 --> 00:31:12.970 way that this team plays, right? They're direct. 00:31:13.130 --> 00:31:15.150 They like to go on the wings. They send in crosses. 00:31:15.309 --> 00:31:16.869 When you think about, like, how do you break 00:31:16.869 --> 00:31:19.589 down a low block? Well, you want tricky players 00:31:19.589 --> 00:31:22.950 who can kind of find those intricate passes to 00:31:22.950 --> 00:31:26.410 cut lines and create opportunities. And I just 00:31:26.410 --> 00:31:29.250 look at the squad and I don't see anyone with 00:31:29.250 --> 00:31:31.890 any sort of resemblance to that with the exception 00:31:31.890 --> 00:31:35.250 of maybe is that what we thought pity was or 00:31:35.250 --> 00:31:37.750 is pity more like, you know, our traditional 00:31:37.750 --> 00:31:41.450 type of like winger. It's hard to say this early 00:31:41.450 --> 00:31:45.150 into his career with our FC. He hasn't really 00:31:45.150 --> 00:31:47.849 shown us that he can break down those low blocks 00:31:47.849 --> 00:31:49.789 yet. So I don't think maybe that's not something 00:31:49.789 --> 00:31:53.599 he has in his wheelhouse. I think that's. A little 00:31:53.599 --> 00:31:56.019 bit of it. I also think though that at times 00:31:56.019 --> 00:31:58.720 when and this happens a lot to any team that 00:31:58.720 --> 00:32:00.859 faces a low block. We even saw this with Arsenal 00:32:00.859 --> 00:32:04.359 and PSG in the Champions League final that to 00:32:04.359 --> 00:32:07.700 me it's always that when they recycle the ball 00:32:07.700 --> 00:32:10.079 and they bring it to the top of the box, it seems 00:32:10.079 --> 00:32:13.640 very static. There's not players trying to screen 00:32:13.640 --> 00:32:16.640 lanes. There's not players trying to create and 00:32:16.640 --> 00:32:19.740 draw defenders away. It's very much what. Is 00:32:19.740 --> 00:32:21.740 the positioning of the player on the outside 00:32:21.740 --> 00:32:24.539 looking in trying to do? Does it become a law? 00:32:24.559 --> 00:32:27.380 Is it a? Is it an overload on the wing to current 00:32:27.380 --> 00:32:30.339 create and force the change in direction that 00:32:30.339 --> 00:32:32.799 that attacks and it come from? A lot of the times, 00:32:32.799 --> 00:32:34.059 though, I see we're done enough. See players 00:32:34.059 --> 00:32:35.920 when they get to that moment in time, they just 00:32:35.920 --> 00:32:38.019 kind of stand there and go. We're going to wait 00:32:38.019 --> 00:32:40.200 to see what you do with the ball. No, if you 00:32:40.200 --> 00:32:42.579 saw on or what you do with the ball, they are 00:32:42.579 --> 00:32:44.660 Sanchez. And I think that's why we do see a lot 00:32:44.660 --> 00:32:46.900 of crossing be a result, because that's one of 00:32:46.900 --> 00:32:49.329 the best ways to. break a low block is like okay 00:32:49.329 --> 00:32:50.730 we're gonna throw something in the mixer and 00:32:50.730 --> 00:32:53.190 if jj can get the vertical that he got in this 00:32:53.190 --> 00:32:55.490 game where he had like a 10 foot jump to head 00:32:55.490 --> 00:32:57.470 that ball in like okay then that's what it's 00:32:57.470 --> 00:32:59.910 going to be so i think that is part of kano's 00:32:59.910 --> 00:33:02.450 planning but it is still frustrating to see this 00:33:02.450 --> 00:33:06.970 team not find the ability to to to carve through 00:33:06.970 --> 00:33:09.140 a team even when they are in that low block I 00:33:09.140 --> 00:33:11.180 don't know which team is the best Jason in the 00:33:11.180 --> 00:33:12.980 championship at breaking down the low block. 00:33:13.359 --> 00:33:15.559 I'd love to find out and then just start watching. 00:33:15.559 --> 00:33:18.279 Maybe Tampa. It probably is Tampa at this point, 00:33:18.660 --> 00:33:21.460 but nevertheless frustrating for Kano. Here's 00:33:21.460 --> 00:33:23.559 what he had to say about his roster selection. 00:33:23.759 --> 00:33:25.920 I asked him, you know, historically we've seen 00:33:25.920 --> 00:33:28.559 an open cup and especially these types of pranks. 00:33:28.619 --> 00:33:31.079 Jägermeister cups against USL one sides we've 00:33:31.079 --> 00:33:33.640 seen across the league a little bit of experimentation 00:33:33.640 --> 00:33:36.380 and this is what he had to say on it from his 00:33:36.380 --> 00:33:41.119 side. I don't know if I agree if I experiment 00:33:41.119 --> 00:33:43.019 in cup games and certainly try to give players 00:33:43.019 --> 00:33:46.460 minutes that deserve minutes but my thought process 00:33:46.460 --> 00:33:48.220 and our thought process is always to put a team 00:33:48.220 --> 00:33:51.319 on the field to win the game. I will never put 00:33:51.319 --> 00:33:52.700 a team on the field that I don't think can win 00:33:52.700 --> 00:33:54.720 a game. Our number one goalkeeper, we're trying 00:33:54.720 --> 00:33:58.119 to win the game so you have to earn the right 00:33:58.119 --> 00:34:02.670 to play. I forgot to mention, I also asked in 00:34:02.670 --> 00:34:05.670 that question why we haven't seen a goalkeeper 00:34:05.670 --> 00:34:08.630 outside of Koke Vegas. Kano making it very clear 00:34:08.630 --> 00:34:11.010 and transparent. Koke is the number one and no 00:34:11.010 --> 00:34:14.449 one has earned that spot above him. Feels a little 00:34:14.449 --> 00:34:16.929 bit interesting considering how much we saw of 00:34:16.929 --> 00:34:19.030 Jackson Lee and I don't think there would have 00:34:19.030 --> 00:34:20.909 been a single time that Kano would ever say that 00:34:20.909 --> 00:34:23.070 Jackson Lee was better than Koke Vegas, so that 00:34:23.070 --> 00:34:25.989 felt a bit... disconnected from what we've seen 00:34:25.989 --> 00:34:27.949 in the past out of him. Maybe he just doesn't 00:34:27.949 --> 00:34:30.250 like the idea of us challenging him on why none 00:34:30.250 --> 00:34:31.949 of the backup keepers have seen minutes this 00:34:31.949 --> 00:34:34.829 season. But it sounds like then, despite whether 00:34:34.829 --> 00:34:37.590 it's Brooklyn or any other competition this year, 00:34:37.710 --> 00:34:40.110 unless Koke is not healthy or for some reason 00:34:40.110 --> 00:34:42.769 he slipped on the performance ladder, we probably 00:34:42.769 --> 00:34:45.070 won't see Castro or Meyer at all this season. 00:34:46.130 --> 00:34:49.409 Yeah, I wonder if that final line there from 00:34:49.409 --> 00:34:51.969 him about like having to kind of earn the right 00:34:51.969 --> 00:34:55.170 to play I wonder if that's You think there's 00:34:55.170 --> 00:34:57.210 any sort of dig there to anybody does he feel 00:34:57.210 --> 00:34:59.789 that maybe some of the the fringe players are 00:34:59.789 --> 00:35:02.369 not? Working hard enough to get themselves into 00:35:02.369 --> 00:35:06.670 the first team. I Don't think he I don't think 00:35:06.670 --> 00:35:08.829 he does not much as a dig but more like a challenge 00:35:08.829 --> 00:35:11.190 like a like show to me like why I should put 00:35:11.190 --> 00:35:14.329 you in I mean look at Danny Revere as a better 00:35:14.329 --> 00:35:16.769 example than Jacob Castro then. Danny Revere 00:35:16.769 --> 00:35:20.469 was a starting right back for the best defensive 00:35:20.469 --> 00:35:23.150 side in the in the Riverhounds two years ago. 00:35:23.610 --> 00:35:25.869 Injuries notwithstanding from last season he's 00:35:25.869 --> 00:35:30.030 got to be better or as good as maybe not Nick 00:35:30.030 --> 00:35:32.150 Scardina but you know one of the centerbacks 00:35:32.150 --> 00:35:34.269 that have been masquerading in that role at times 00:35:34.269 --> 00:35:38.010 like to me like to not even make this the 18 00:35:38.010 --> 00:35:42.190 -man roster for the for the match day like what 00:35:42.190 --> 00:35:45.369 is better look like? Danny Rivera's situation 00:35:45.369 --> 00:35:47.510 reminds me very much of Gabby Albus from year 00:35:47.510 --> 00:35:49.750 one at this point. Like it seems like if you're 00:35:49.750 --> 00:35:52.909 not doing what Kano wants you to do, that no 00:35:52.909 --> 00:35:54.849 matter how good your performances are, that it's 00:35:54.849 --> 00:35:57.389 just not gonna get you on the roster. But with 00:35:57.389 --> 00:36:01.010 the keepers and like how much of a core they 00:36:01.010 --> 00:36:03.130 are, I... I don't know if this is a challenge 00:36:03.130 --> 00:36:04.829 to his players. It certainly feels like it's 00:36:04.829 --> 00:36:06.550 a challenge to us when we ask the question of 00:36:06.550 --> 00:36:09.829 saying, hey, why are these players not playing? 00:36:09.989 --> 00:36:11.829 Well, yeah, obviously, we don't know the comings 00:36:11.829 --> 00:36:13.969 and goings of how good they are on game day. 00:36:13.989 --> 00:36:16.530 But we would think that that's a moment to allow 00:36:16.530 --> 00:36:18.469 a player like Jacob Cacher to show you what he 00:36:18.469 --> 00:36:21.409 can do. Now doesn't look necessarily like it. 00:36:21.909 --> 00:36:23.590 But at the same time, you can't argue with the 00:36:23.590 --> 00:36:25.610 man about wanting to get the results. It's Koke 00:36:25.610 --> 00:36:28.070 Vegas, the sixth clean sheet now across all competitions. 00:36:28.210 --> 00:36:30.570 It's the 28th of his Rhode Island FC career. 00:36:31.340 --> 00:36:33.039 He's played every single minute of the season 00:36:33.039 --> 00:36:34.880 something we didn't see in years one or two So 00:36:34.880 --> 00:36:36.880 like I'm not mad about it I just kind of feel 00:36:36.880 --> 00:36:39.119 like I thought we would see Castro because that's 00:36:39.119 --> 00:36:41.179 been the example that's been set from previous 00:36:41.179 --> 00:36:44.219 season. That's all Yeah, no. All right. So then 00:36:44.219 --> 00:36:46.300 next up here's a question We asked him about 00:36:46.300 --> 00:36:48.579 the upcoming match against Loudon as the last 00:36:48.579 --> 00:36:50.380 match before the World Cup break and then also 00:36:50.380 --> 00:36:52.739 what the players would be able to experience 00:36:52.739 --> 00:36:55.199 For their downtime considering there's a pretty 00:36:55.199 --> 00:36:57.019 large gap between the Loudon and Orange County 00:36:57.019 --> 00:37:03.880 match They're close to us in the table. The table's 00:37:03.880 --> 00:37:14.199 close. We want to win the game. Yeah, the break 00:37:14.199 --> 00:37:16.900 will be nice. Everybody in the league, I guess, 00:37:16.940 --> 00:37:19.659 has a weekend off, but we have a bye. So that's 00:37:19.659 --> 00:37:23.159 why ours is longer. But yeah, it's trying to 00:37:23.159 --> 00:37:25.320 win the game. They have a five -day mental health 00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:27.460 break that every team in the league has to submit 00:37:27.460 --> 00:37:30.099 that you. pick dates and it has to be league 00:37:30.099 --> 00:37:32.500 approved or union approved and ours is five, 00:37:32.539 --> 00:37:37.940 five days. I think just about everybody in the 00:37:37.940 --> 00:37:40.440 league is I think that's intentional that they 00:37:40.440 --> 00:37:42.019 wanted to take some sort of break in the league 00:37:42.019 --> 00:37:44.300 through the world world cup but ours is just 00:37:44.300 --> 00:37:48.909 happens to be longer. So that's Kano. telling 00:37:48.909 --> 00:37:51.329 us basically that there is a bi -week built in, 00:37:51.369 --> 00:37:53.530 which is why they have an extended gap, and then 00:37:53.530 --> 00:37:55.849 also there's the five -week mandatory sabbatical 00:37:55.849 --> 00:37:58.090 for player mental well -being. It makes sense 00:37:58.090 --> 00:38:00.309 that they all chose it for the World Cup break 00:38:00.309 --> 00:38:04.590 period, but a bit surprised to hear that we also 00:38:04.590 --> 00:38:06.849 had another bi -week strategically placed here. 00:38:07.110 --> 00:38:08.670 I'm gonna have to look at the rest of the USL 00:38:08.670 --> 00:38:10.690 calendar. I thought... Everyone was on these 00:38:10.690 --> 00:38:12.670 larger scale breaks. Maybe that's something that 00:38:12.670 --> 00:38:14.730 we're gonna have to go back and reflect on as 00:38:14.730 --> 00:38:16.449 teams will be. I know teams were playing through 00:38:16.449 --> 00:38:18.289 the corridor, but I didn't know it was gonna 00:38:18.289 --> 00:38:21.010 be that necessarily close. So kudos to whoever 00:38:21.010 --> 00:38:22.789 wrote the schedule for Rhode Island FC to allow 00:38:22.789 --> 00:38:25.150 us to focus completely on the World Cup instead 00:38:25.150 --> 00:38:29.909 of our USL one side there. Any common, any curiosities 00:38:29.909 --> 00:38:32.369 about that or pretty straightforward? No, I think 00:38:32.369 --> 00:38:34.230 that's pretty straightforward. It's, it's, it's 00:38:34.230 --> 00:38:36.190 cool that they're, they're getting that opportunity, 00:38:36.190 --> 00:38:39.789 right? They, they're all fans of the game. So 00:38:39.789 --> 00:38:41.889 for them to kind of get to, to kind of enjoy 00:38:41.889 --> 00:38:44.010 that and not have to just constantly be working 00:38:44.010 --> 00:38:47.010 like that's awesome for them. Yep. And then here's, 00:38:47.010 --> 00:38:49.389 here's Kano's final comments on Logan Dorsey 00:38:49.389 --> 00:38:51.889 being recalled to Minnesota United. And then 00:38:51.889 --> 00:38:58.309 of course, signed to FC Tulsa. We wish him the 00:38:58.309 --> 00:39:03.849 best. He left in the best, best possible way. 00:39:04.250 --> 00:39:06.949 He, I think it was a tough decision for him to 00:39:06.949 --> 00:39:09.639 go, but He obviously had conversations with his 00:39:09.639 --> 00:39:12.440 parent club and Tulsa, and ultimately he's Minnesota 00:39:12.440 --> 00:39:14.300 United's player, so that was the decision that 00:39:14.300 --> 00:39:20.099 was made. He was a great guy to coach right up 00:39:20.099 --> 00:39:22.360 until the end. He left early yesterday morning, 00:39:22.400 --> 00:39:24.659 but he wanted to communicate to the guys, but 00:39:24.659 --> 00:39:27.219 he couldn't. He had an early flight, but we wish 00:39:27.219 --> 00:39:32.320 him well. I think it's August 29th when we play 00:39:32.320 --> 00:39:37.349 him. He's a great kid and so coachable. So humble, 00:39:37.710 --> 00:39:42.710 just works hard, but I think it was going to 00:39:42.710 --> 00:39:46.250 be tough for him to get minutes. And I think 00:39:46.250 --> 00:39:49.869 he can get more there, wherever that works out 00:39:49.869 --> 00:39:53.849 for him or not. Hopefully it does, but that was 00:39:53.849 --> 00:40:03.400 just as simple as that. behind, or do you feel 00:40:03.400 --> 00:40:05.260 like you have the talent on the roster to carry 00:40:05.260 --> 00:40:07.980 yourself through until maybe that moment comes 00:40:07.980 --> 00:40:10.420 a little later in the season? Yeah, I mean, we're 00:40:10.420 --> 00:40:12.039 always looking to add everywhere. I think we 00:40:12.039 --> 00:40:14.940 have enough forward -thinking players. I think 00:40:14.940 --> 00:40:17.659 Noah can play in the nine. I think Leo could 00:40:17.659 --> 00:40:20.300 play in the nine. There's some situations where 00:40:20.300 --> 00:40:24.500 Dwayne can play up there, Jamin. So I think we 00:40:24.500 --> 00:40:27.300 have enough in -house, and we won't just bring 00:40:27.300 --> 00:40:28.780 somebody in for the sake of bringing somebody 00:40:28.780 --> 00:40:31.869 in. As I always say every position is upgradable. 00:40:32.130 --> 00:40:38.570 So always trying to get better Yeah So one he 00:40:38.570 --> 00:40:40.730 again kind of reinforcing from the conversations 00:40:40.730 --> 00:40:42.969 I had separate from that about Logan Dorsey's 00:40:42.969 --> 00:40:45.929 decision to activate getting recalled Not sure 00:40:45.929 --> 00:40:48.150 how FC Tulsa got into the mix on that one. That 00:40:48.150 --> 00:40:50.289 will be the curious thing I think what you said 00:40:50.289 --> 00:40:52.050 earlier it made sense based on their profile 00:40:52.050 --> 00:40:55.030 and lack of attacking Menace that it's a good 00:40:55.030 --> 00:40:58.610 opportunity for Logan want to touch into though 00:40:58.570 --> 00:41:01.590 the need to replace them immediately. Right now, 00:41:01.730 --> 00:41:03.670 Kano thinks, and maybe there's something to it 00:41:03.670 --> 00:41:06.050 that, you know, that's not necessarily something 00:41:06.050 --> 00:41:07.929 that he needs to even really consider, that there's 00:41:07.929 --> 00:41:11.949 enough depth in the ninth or the number nine 00:41:11.949 --> 00:41:14.429 position, I should say, to kind of carry us through 00:41:14.429 --> 00:41:17.389 until he needs to take it seriously to evaluate 00:41:17.389 --> 00:41:19.750 if there's a player he can find out there to 00:41:19.750 --> 00:41:23.969 reinforce. Yeah, I mean, Kano does love to kind 00:41:23.969 --> 00:41:27.820 of, you know, take Square pegs and make them 00:41:27.820 --> 00:41:31.099 fit into round holes, right? So we've seen You 00:41:31.099 --> 00:41:34.280 know clay play as a right wing back. We've seen 00:41:34.280 --> 00:41:37.239 multiple center backs play as full backs plays 00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:41.920 midfielders so Absolutely, could we put no up 00:41:41.920 --> 00:41:44.739 top could put busy up top like you can do all 00:41:44.739 --> 00:41:46.820 those type of options that the concern there 00:41:46.820 --> 00:41:49.480 is then What does that drop off look like? Can 00:41:49.480 --> 00:41:53.019 we continue to get? performances we need from 00:41:53.019 --> 00:41:56.360 them and can we Sure. If we go up two or three 00:41:56.360 --> 00:41:58.059 nil in the first half, yeah, you can close the 00:41:58.059 --> 00:41:59.960 game out. Just throw someone up there to just 00:41:59.960 --> 00:42:03.679 kind of press and just work so that we can keep 00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:07.440 JJ rest and healthy. The problem is, and it's 00:42:07.440 --> 00:42:09.539 one thing for a keeper to play every game in 00:42:09.539 --> 00:42:11.719 the season. They don't, they're not running, 00:42:11.719 --> 00:42:15.000 you know, like 10 miles a game like some of these 00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:17.980 other guys do, but do we get to a point where 00:42:17.980 --> 00:42:20.059 we run some of our players into the ground and 00:42:20.059 --> 00:42:23.869 we don't see that kind of Late fall kind of late 00:42:23.869 --> 00:42:26.230 early or late summer kind of early fall kind 00:42:26.230 --> 00:42:28.730 of running where like our form really catches 00:42:28.730 --> 00:42:31.530 fire because we ran everyone into the ground. 00:42:32.909 --> 00:42:34.929 I think they will be looking for someone but 00:42:34.929 --> 00:42:36.250 i think he's right they're not just gonna go 00:42:36.250 --> 00:42:38.030 pick up anyone it's gotta be someone that makes 00:42:38.030 --> 00:42:41.150 sense but jj will need some sort of backup there. 00:42:41.500 --> 00:42:43.300 Because unfortunately, we just haven't seen it 00:42:43.300 --> 00:42:45.440 yet for him to stay healthy for a full season 00:42:45.440 --> 00:42:47.739 for us Yeah, lots of questions in the mailbag 00:42:47.739 --> 00:42:50.139 about who we should go out and get but we'll 00:42:50.139 --> 00:42:54.000 save that for then Wanna now move into clay and 00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:56.139 this is gonna be our extra time segment So this 00:42:56.139 --> 00:42:59.280 is exclusive to our YouTube and our podcast channels. 00:42:59.300 --> 00:43:02.260 The radio group will not hear this So let's get 00:43:02.260 --> 00:43:05.519 cracking on what clay holsted had to say about 00:43:05.519 --> 00:43:10.469 his goal on the night Did you see my first shot? 00:43:10.469 --> 00:43:14.429 It wasn't exactly close. I think the first one 00:43:14.429 --> 00:43:16.230 was in the parking lot. The second one was a 00:43:16.230 --> 00:43:19.889 bit better. I mean, it feels good. I think, like 00:43:19.889 --> 00:43:22.690 anything, it's just a confidence game. So seeing 00:43:22.690 --> 00:43:25.769 one go in is, I mean, it's always nice. It just 00:43:25.769 --> 00:43:27.489 kind of gives you the confidence to keep going, 00:43:27.630 --> 00:43:29.969 keep shooting, and know that you haven't quite 00:43:29.969 --> 00:43:32.949 lost it yet. So no, I mean, it feels good. So 00:43:32.949 --> 00:43:35.550 I mean, it was definitely the, after all the 00:43:35.550 --> 00:43:38.010 work we put in for the first 10, 15 minutes. 00:43:38.300 --> 00:43:41.400 finally needing like having one drop was nice 00:43:41.400 --> 00:43:45.179 so that was me asking i opened up the question 00:43:45.179 --> 00:43:47.519 with uh what's it feel like to finally score 00:43:47.519 --> 00:43:51.000 this season and and i meant to say prinks tire 00:43:51.000 --> 00:43:53.780 but I didn't say that. And so he's like, what 00:43:53.780 --> 00:43:55.000 are you talking about? I've already scored a 00:43:55.000 --> 00:43:56.280 goal this season. I'm like, yeah, that was in 00:43:56.280 --> 00:43:58.679 league play. This is Prinks tire. And so then 00:43:58.679 --> 00:44:01.159 he started talking about skying it. Listen, Clay 00:44:01.159 --> 00:44:03.579 has, you know, and we talked to, I also cut this 00:44:03.579 --> 00:44:05.679 out of the question part, but Clay historically 00:44:05.679 --> 00:44:08.059 known for bangers. Uh, we've seen a different 00:44:08.059 --> 00:44:10.199 version of him this season. Now he's been getting 00:44:10.199 --> 00:44:12.940 a little bit more close inside the box, closer 00:44:12.940 --> 00:44:16.039 to goal mouth, been doing some damage in different 00:44:16.039 --> 00:44:19.119 ways, not just that, you know, taking one from 00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:22.019 25 yards and letting it rip. Have we seen an 00:44:22.019 --> 00:44:24.179 evolution in his game, despite the fact, like 00:44:24.179 --> 00:44:26.360 he said, he skied one into the parking lot to 00:44:26.360 --> 00:44:28.320 begin the match? Possibly. I mean, that could 00:44:28.320 --> 00:44:30.920 be somewhat of the direction of this team where 00:44:30.920 --> 00:44:33.219 they're trying to get touches into the box and 00:44:33.219 --> 00:44:35.900 trying to create slightly higher goal scoring 00:44:35.900 --> 00:44:39.820 opportunities in regards to, you know, just, 00:44:39.860 --> 00:44:42.219 you know, not taking shots from 35 yards out. 00:44:42.219 --> 00:44:44.519 We know that he can do those pretty well. He's 00:44:44.519 --> 00:44:47.539 usually good for a few of them a year, but those 00:44:47.539 --> 00:44:51.150 can be so few and far between that. Give yourself 00:44:51.150 --> 00:44:53.090 a much better opportunity getting like, you know, 00:44:53.190 --> 00:44:55.710 six yards out. Yeah, that goal, by the way, his 00:44:55.710 --> 00:44:58.269 10th of his Rhode Island FC career. He's now 00:44:58.269 --> 00:45:00.769 the fifth player to enter the double digit goals 00:45:00.769 --> 00:45:03.150 club. So we got to get him his card for into 00:45:03.150 --> 00:45:04.710 the card carrying member now of Rhode Island 00:45:04.710 --> 00:45:08.690 FC. Here's Clay talking about now, despite the 00:45:08.690 --> 00:45:11.449 win, what the challenges that he's going to face 00:45:11.449 --> 00:45:14.510 in advancing and Prinks Cup look like. I think 00:45:14.510 --> 00:45:19.110 it's one game at a time as always just. unfortunately 00:45:19.110 --> 00:45:22.250 how we started it wasn't ideal so from now on 00:45:22.250 --> 00:45:25.190 I mean we win just do what we can I mean at the 00:45:25.190 --> 00:45:27.510 bare minimum it's gonna be momentum games for 00:45:27.510 --> 00:45:29.949 us so we go out there just win the rest of them 00:45:29.949 --> 00:45:33.110 and then you know hope that fate's got us going 00:45:33.110 --> 00:45:35.329 in if it doesn't it doesn't but we're gonna use 00:45:35.329 --> 00:45:39.389 these games for improvements statements all that 00:45:39.389 --> 00:45:42.250 so I mean it's another game that we get to get 00:45:42.250 --> 00:45:44.730 better and we get to like entertain and show 00:45:44.730 --> 00:45:46.960 what we're gonna do so I think it's Let's just 00:45:46.960 --> 00:45:48.900 go out there, do what we can, give everything 00:45:48.900 --> 00:45:52.320 we got and then just hope for the best. Yeah, 00:45:52.420 --> 00:45:54.880 I think that's the only way you can look at this 00:45:54.880 --> 00:45:56.639 point is that if the result doesn't necessarily 00:45:56.639 --> 00:45:58.400 impact your future because it's not within your 00:45:58.400 --> 00:46:00.820 control, you can still use this as momentum. 00:46:01.340 --> 00:46:03.139 There's a question here in a second about Loudon 00:46:03.139 --> 00:46:05.909 and I'm really curious. how that translates, 00:46:05.929 --> 00:46:07.510 especially against a side that we haven't ever 00:46:07.510 --> 00:46:10.730 seen success. Do you think a loss could have 00:46:10.730 --> 00:46:12.869 devastated this team then from a morale standpoint? 00:46:13.170 --> 00:46:14.909 Like, obviously it didn't happen, but to play 00:46:14.909 --> 00:46:17.190 devil's advocate for a second, if we say it's 00:46:17.190 --> 00:46:19.190 all about momentum and setting some standards 00:46:19.190 --> 00:46:23.869 for yourself, does that change anything? Possibly. 00:46:24.590 --> 00:46:27.989 I think a loss would be pretty demoralizing for 00:46:27.989 --> 00:46:31.730 them. So for them to go out there and make a 00:46:31.730 --> 00:46:33.489 win, like you said, for statements, right, to 00:46:33.489 --> 00:46:36.469 say that, hey, like Sure, like we are we are 00:46:36.469 --> 00:46:39.230 still here. Don't forget about us Like we're 00:46:39.230 --> 00:46:41.210 you know, they can also if anything use these 00:46:41.210 --> 00:46:44.449 as a free swing right so that they can just keep 00:46:44.449 --> 00:46:47.050 Kind of getting that more practice under the 00:46:47.050 --> 00:46:49.650 belt and kind of fine -tuning some of their their 00:46:49.650 --> 00:46:52.690 tactics and skills there And then here's clay 00:46:52.690 --> 00:46:55.690 on running into former teammate Connor McGlynn 00:46:55.690 --> 00:46:59.750 out of Westchester saying saying Connor's awesome 00:46:59.750 --> 00:47:02.929 I think everybody on the team loves them. It 00:47:02.929 --> 00:47:07.320 was I mean, just a top tier guy. So having him 00:47:07.320 --> 00:47:09.340 not start was definitely nice, because it definitely 00:47:09.340 --> 00:47:11.199 minimized the amount of long balls we were going 00:47:11.199 --> 00:47:14.559 to, like those pings that he always hit. So that 00:47:14.559 --> 00:47:16.159 wasn't exactly the worst thing in the world. 00:47:16.619 --> 00:47:18.739 But no, I mean, it was great. So I mean, when 00:47:18.739 --> 00:47:20.219 he came on, he definitely made a difference too, 00:47:20.219 --> 00:47:22.699 which we could have had him off for another 30 00:47:22.699 --> 00:47:26.059 minutes. That would have been nice. But no, it 00:47:26.059 --> 00:47:27.739 was great to see him. I think everybody here 00:47:27.739 --> 00:47:33.039 loves him. He's a great guy, great player. So 00:47:33.039 --> 00:47:35.960 you asked earlier about, you know, did Westchester, 00:47:35.960 --> 00:47:37.099 we talked about this, we didn't really bring 00:47:37.099 --> 00:47:38.980 it up in the show, did Westchester play their 00:47:38.980 --> 00:47:41.699 best, strongest 11, or are they already in experimental 00:47:41.699 --> 00:47:44.659 phase, knowing that they have no hope of advancing? 00:47:46.119 --> 00:47:48.239 I don't know the roster well enough, I know you 00:47:48.239 --> 00:47:50.579 and Toren did the breakdown last week, but I 00:47:50.579 --> 00:47:53.340 was genuinely surprised that Connor McGlynn was 00:47:53.340 --> 00:47:55.940 not in this lineup to start the match, and he 00:47:55.940 --> 00:47:58.820 was a very late sub at that, especially concerning 00:47:58.820 --> 00:48:01.010 that Westchester was already down to, to begin 00:48:01.010 --> 00:48:03.630 with. So in neither was their best attacking 00:48:03.630 --> 00:48:06.469 threat this season, uh, in Guzan. Yeah. Like 00:48:06.469 --> 00:48:08.550 those two, those two combined have been like 00:48:08.550 --> 00:48:10.210 where they've been getting their goals and to 00:48:10.210 --> 00:48:13.030 see neither of them start the game kind of felt 00:48:13.030 --> 00:48:16.190 like last year's Portland hearts of pine match, 00:48:16.469 --> 00:48:19.409 where didn't seem like Bobby Murphy wouldn't 00:48:19.409 --> 00:48:21.489 admit it, but kind of didn't feel like they were 00:48:21.489 --> 00:48:24.010 taking this match as serious. They thought we're 00:48:24.010 --> 00:48:26.889 not in a good position. We're worried about the 00:48:26.889 --> 00:48:29.650 league. Let's just rotate some players will sub 00:48:29.650 --> 00:48:31.369 some of the better ones in second half and just 00:48:31.369 --> 00:48:33.130 see what happens. Yeah, and with three games 00:48:33.130 --> 00:48:35.730 with Westchester in the next seven days, they 00:48:35.730 --> 00:48:38.309 desperately need to start recovering points in 00:48:38.309 --> 00:48:40.590 the USL one standings. That makes a lot of sense. 00:48:40.590 --> 00:48:43.329 And then here's Clay's final conversation about 00:48:43.329 --> 00:48:45.889 Loudon and taking on that opponent this upcoming 00:48:45.889 --> 00:48:55.289 weekend. I think just I mean capitalizing knowing 00:48:55.289 --> 00:48:57.579 that we have stuff to work on, but. capitalizing 00:48:57.579 --> 00:49:00.500 on the positives. I mean, just three goals in 00:49:00.500 --> 00:49:04.199 one night is great to see. And then, like you 00:49:04.199 --> 00:49:06.820 said, working on stuff on the low block. But 00:49:06.820 --> 00:49:09.739 I mean, a win's a win. So USL League One or championship, 00:49:10.239 --> 00:49:11.840 a win's a win. I think that we kind of dominated 00:49:11.840 --> 00:49:13.679 tonight and that we showed that when we're playing 00:49:13.679 --> 00:49:16.260 and we're really clicking, that it doesn't really 00:49:16.260 --> 00:49:18.619 matter what team we're going to play. We're going 00:49:18.619 --> 00:49:20.840 to cause problems. And then just using that going 00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:22.940 into next week and just know that it doesn't 00:49:22.940 --> 00:49:24.340 really matter. We need to start stringing more. 00:49:24.349 --> 00:49:26.210 more than one game together so instead of riding 00:49:26.210 --> 00:49:28.090 the roller coaster string in a couple wins and 00:49:28.090 --> 00:49:34.809 a couple good performances. So talk to Clay about 00:49:34.809 --> 00:49:36.789 that and we talked about the low block and that's 00:49:36.789 --> 00:49:38.090 something that they are continuing to work on 00:49:38.090 --> 00:49:40.110 also asked him about Logan he said he's a good 00:49:40.110 --> 00:49:42.389 guy sucks to see him go he's happy he won't get 00:49:42.389 --> 00:49:45.590 confused anymore for being Logan Dorsey from 00:49:45.590 --> 00:49:47.829 behind so he's really excited about that and 00:49:47.829 --> 00:49:49.130 the other thing he mentioned too I said what 00:49:49.130 --> 00:49:50.809 are you going to tell him when he comes back 00:49:50.809 --> 00:49:52.909 or when you go see him on August 29th he said 00:49:52.909 --> 00:49:54.920 why don't you just pass me the ball. Maybe you'll 00:49:54.920 --> 00:49:56.840 remember to pass me the ball instead of your 00:49:56.840 --> 00:49:59.260 new teammates and I can score. And he also said, 00:49:59.260 --> 00:50:00.760 you know, please don't score a couple of goals 00:50:00.760 --> 00:50:03.519 against us. So even even Clay subscribes the 00:50:03.519 --> 00:50:05.539 idea that former Rhode Island FC players can 00:50:05.539 --> 00:50:07.900 do some damage to the squad. But speaking of 00:50:07.900 --> 00:50:09.860 the goals, speaking of the electricity on the 00:50:09.860 --> 00:50:12.019 night, three goals in this match, two coming 00:50:12.019 --> 00:50:13.960 in the first half. We've talked that this team's 00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:16.199 not a first half team when it comes to goals. 00:50:16.800 --> 00:50:19.199 Well, Clay also says, you know, hold my soccer 00:50:19.199 --> 00:50:21.860 ball here for a second. J .J. also then goes 00:50:21.860 --> 00:50:26.010 right back into it. One, I want to talk about 00:50:26.010 --> 00:50:28.210 beyond the goals in the first half. I think I 00:50:28.210 --> 00:50:30.090 could not find this step fast enough for the 00:50:30.090 --> 00:50:32.389 show, but I think this is the quickest succession 00:50:32.389 --> 00:50:34.849 of goals being scored in Rhode Island NFC's short 00:50:34.849 --> 00:50:37.110 history. I think it's pretty close. It was what? 00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:39.579 Three, two, three minutes, three minutes between 00:50:39.579 --> 00:50:42.280 each goal. Yeah. So like they, they didn't have 00:50:42.280 --> 00:50:44.239 enough time to reset the graphics to get ready 00:50:44.239 --> 00:50:46.679 for that second goal. That's how fast it came 00:50:46.679 --> 00:50:49.559 to it. JJ Williams, of course now with his team 00:50:49.559 --> 00:50:51.900 leading eighth goal of the season across all 00:50:51.900 --> 00:50:55.239 competitions. Uh, it's his 13th, it's his eighth 00:50:55.239 --> 00:50:58.199 goal in 13 appearances. It's his fifth goal in 00:50:58.199 --> 00:51:00.860 nine games. We talk about the consistency of 00:51:00.860 --> 00:51:03.019 keeping JJ red hot. I don't think he can get 00:51:03.019 --> 00:51:05.420 much hotter than that. And of course now he leads 00:51:05.420 --> 00:51:09.719 the club with 20. 27 goals all time in his record. 00:51:12.340 --> 00:51:14.679 We can talk about the Leo Fonzo goal. I think 00:51:14.679 --> 00:51:16.539 it was great that he gets that goal. He needed 00:51:16.539 --> 00:51:18.940 to continue to find the back of the net. He's 00:51:18.940 --> 00:51:20.599 been a little bit of streakiness in the season. 00:51:21.179 --> 00:51:23.000 It was good to see Aldair Sanchez, of course, 00:51:23.159 --> 00:51:25.119 with the assist. Did you have a favorite goal 00:51:25.119 --> 00:51:30.440 on the night? I liked how Clay's happened from 00:51:30.440 --> 00:51:32.920 the like it wasn't maybe the most beautiful goal, 00:51:32.960 --> 00:51:36.949 but to like Like that's what you want to see 00:51:36.949 --> 00:51:40.610 from Kano's team, right? Pushing the team back, 00:51:40.909 --> 00:51:42.909 pressing them, winning the ball in a threatening 00:51:42.909 --> 00:51:45.949 position, immediately turning into attack. It 00:51:45.949 --> 00:51:47.769 kind of felt like the perfect example of like 00:51:47.769 --> 00:51:50.150 this is exactly what he wants. Yeah, so I mean 00:51:50.150 --> 00:51:52.429 there was what 20 shots in the first half for 00:51:52.429 --> 00:51:55.150 Rhode Island. It was something insane. You look 00:51:55.150 --> 00:51:57.190 at like the way they were able to recycle and 00:51:57.190 --> 00:51:59.909 contain and pin Westchester's back line. I thought 00:51:59.909 --> 00:52:01.610 in the first half before the goals came because 00:52:01.610 --> 00:52:03.730 they came so close to almost the end of that 00:52:03.730 --> 00:52:05.530 first half. I thought the only thing Rhode Island 00:52:05.530 --> 00:52:08.570 FC was missing was. that secondary tertiary runner. 00:52:08.769 --> 00:52:10.949 They were putting the ball into space, but there 00:52:10.949 --> 00:52:12.989 just wasn't anyone there at that final moment. 00:52:13.090 --> 00:52:15.230 But again, they would continuously recycle the 00:52:15.230 --> 00:52:17.429 ball. They'd get that ball back and then go at 00:52:17.429 --> 00:52:19.130 it again. And again, they were relentless. The 00:52:19.130 --> 00:52:21.010 goals just weren't coming. It felt like a reflection 00:52:21.010 --> 00:52:24.050 of the season where 20 shots is the macro for 00:52:24.050 --> 00:52:26.690 the entirety of the of the night. And then we 00:52:26.690 --> 00:52:28.789 get two goals out of it. It's one of those things 00:52:28.789 --> 00:52:31.269 that was very reminiscent. So I agree. I think 00:52:31.269 --> 00:52:33.130 JJ's header, when you get that high, you get 00:52:33.130 --> 00:52:36.059 that kind of verticality over a keeper. that's 00:52:36.059 --> 00:52:37.960 something to behold. Usually you just don't see 00:52:37.960 --> 00:52:40.940 that happen. Too often, JJ is getting pushed 00:52:40.940 --> 00:52:45.460 around, held onto. When JJ is left like that, 00:52:45.659 --> 00:52:48.960 he can soar, and we saw that on the night. But 00:52:48.960 --> 00:52:51.079 we gotta go to break for our final one, and we're 00:52:51.079 --> 00:52:53.099 gonna get back to the regular show here. Don't 00:52:53.099 --> 00:52:55.360 go anywhere. When we return, it's the mailbag 00:52:55.360 --> 00:52:58.179 all here on The Raising Anchor Soccer Show. Now, 00:52:58.179 --> 00:53:00.420 let's get back to The Raising Anchor Soccer Show 00:53:00.420 --> 00:53:05.079 on 990 WBOB with Matt Entrickett and Jason Carey. 00:53:06.010 --> 00:53:09.170 All right here with the mailbag to Ross writes 00:53:09.170 --> 00:53:12.269 in how did Logan Dorsey end up in Tulsa? I think 00:53:12.269 --> 00:53:14.570 we covered this Yeah, we pretty much covered 00:53:14.570 --> 00:53:17.210 it essentially. He wanted more minutes. They 00:53:17.210 --> 00:53:20.650 need a striker So it just kind of worked out 00:53:20.650 --> 00:53:24.570 that way They I think they they lost some of 00:53:24.570 --> 00:53:27.090 their gusto after making the finals last year 00:53:27.090 --> 00:53:29.510 So they need to retool a bit there I hope he 00:53:29.510 --> 00:53:31.610 is not successful for Rhode Island of sea reasons, 00:53:31.610 --> 00:53:34.690 but selfishly also I hope he finds success with 00:53:34.690 --> 00:53:37.809 that team Yeah, uh, we've got two people asking 00:53:37.809 --> 00:53:40.690 basically the same question. So, uh, Ben S and 00:53:40.690 --> 00:53:44.030 Matt J both asking with Dorsey gone, who are 00:53:44.030 --> 00:53:46.409 we bringing in or who would you want to see get 00:53:46.409 --> 00:53:48.809 picked up? So I think Conno said he's not just 00:53:48.809 --> 00:53:50.150 going to get a player for the sake of getting 00:53:50.150 --> 00:53:52.170 a player. I talked to a couple of the technical 00:53:52.170 --> 00:53:54.130 staff members on the weekend and said, like, 00:53:54.369 --> 00:53:56.130 you guys always have your ghost squads ready 00:53:56.130 --> 00:53:58.389 to go. Like those, the roster construction is 00:53:58.389 --> 00:54:00.769 never done. Like do you already have player profiles? 00:54:00.949 --> 00:54:03.329 They said absolutely we can activate a player 00:54:03.329 --> 00:54:05.389 tomorrow if we needed it six months down the 00:54:05.389 --> 00:54:07.050 road or we could wait the entire season like 00:54:07.050 --> 00:54:10.079 they have flexibility. Kano, I don't think will 00:54:10.079 --> 00:54:12.039 leave it open because it's a spot on the roster. 00:54:12.079 --> 00:54:14.400 He can go back out. He's very good at finding 00:54:14.400 --> 00:54:17.159 loans even if we can't hold on to them. So I'm 00:54:17.159 --> 00:54:19.900 sure post World Cup will see something. I talked 00:54:19.900 --> 00:54:22.139 with Ben S personally and he and I are on the 00:54:22.139 --> 00:54:23.699 same wavelength. I think Matt Hughes would be 00:54:23.699 --> 00:54:26.139 a good get. He's one of New England's best strikers 00:54:26.139 --> 00:54:29.500 after Bazzini last season or two seasons ago 00:54:29.500 --> 00:54:32.460 and not really doing a lot in his in his current 00:54:32.460 --> 00:54:34.340 setup. We could see a lot of value in getting 00:54:34.340 --> 00:54:37.440 a player like Matt Hughes onto the team. Eric 00:54:37.440 --> 00:54:39.599 Enrightson. Realistically, do we have a shot 00:54:39.599 --> 00:54:42.559 at the prinks wild card spot? So I mean Eric 00:54:42.559 --> 00:54:44.699 doesn't even believe we have a shot at the top 00:54:44.699 --> 00:54:47.039 spot in group five We're talking wild card. I 00:54:47.039 --> 00:54:51.039 mean there it's possible. It just requires that 00:54:51.039 --> 00:54:55.219 basically all the other second teams like Do 00:54:55.219 --> 00:54:57.900 their worst I think there's seven six teams that 00:54:57.900 --> 00:55:00.780 have six points already. So six teams have to 00:55:00.780 --> 00:55:03.480 lose For us and then I think the only other team 00:55:03.480 --> 00:55:05.880 that has five is Pittsburgh. So yeah, I mean, 00:55:05.880 --> 00:55:08.340 it's just kind of like If all those other teams 00:55:08.340 --> 00:55:13.019 like draw nil nil draws and then somehow losing 00:55:13.019 --> 00:55:16.420 penalties to whoever they play. Then it's possible. 00:55:16.420 --> 00:55:18.699 It's just it's it's really out of our hands. 00:55:19.179 --> 00:55:22.059 Unfortunately, Brad K here says fought mob now 00:55:22.059 --> 00:55:24.599 has us rated as the 4th best team in the championship. 00:55:25.079 --> 00:55:27.280 Considering we are a 9th in the standings, do 00:55:27.280 --> 00:55:29.440 you understand what underlying stat is driving 00:55:29.440 --> 00:55:31.880 this frustrating? This team isn't in a higher 00:55:31.880 --> 00:55:34.420 position. Yeah, so we talked about this because 00:55:34.420 --> 00:55:37.280 I also was like, hey, like. This this team should 00:55:37.280 --> 00:55:39.840 be higher up the table for what it is and and 00:55:39.840 --> 00:55:41.820 Jason had the better answer, but I didn't highlight 00:55:41.820 --> 00:55:43.800 this the right way So I have to answer it now 00:55:43.800 --> 00:55:46.940 Rhode Island whether they're passing the success 00:55:46.940 --> 00:55:49.199 eyeball test of like the results and the points 00:55:49.690 --> 00:55:51.670 they're doing everything else that the indicators 00:55:51.670 --> 00:55:54.110 would say are the right things to do. They lead 00:55:54.110 --> 00:55:56.230 or at least are a top quartile team in things 00:55:56.230 --> 00:56:00.050 like possession, in passing sequence, in crossing, 00:56:00.469 --> 00:56:03.789 in shots, in goals. I mean they're at 1 .7 goals 00:56:03.789 --> 00:56:07.050 per game right now. We again scored 19 last season 00:56:07.050 --> 00:56:08.989 so we were under one for the entirety of the 00:56:08.989 --> 00:56:11.969 season. They're doing a lot of the mechanical 00:56:11.969 --> 00:56:13.929 things correct. I think we're leading in tackles, 00:56:14.250 --> 00:56:17.030 defensive interceptions, and recovery. Like we, 00:56:17.190 --> 00:56:20.429 this team is good. It just doesn't end up working 00:56:20.429 --> 00:56:22.730 out in a way that gets us the favorable result 00:56:22.730 --> 00:56:25.030 or three points in certain conditions in certain 00:56:25.030 --> 00:56:28.050 matches. So holistically this team is very good 00:56:28.050 --> 00:56:30.469 and that's why when people say Kano out I don't 00:56:30.469 --> 00:56:32.150 know what they're talking about because this 00:56:32.150 --> 00:56:34.250 team just needs this one little thing which I 00:56:34.250 --> 00:56:35.949 think Jason you would say might be just luck 00:56:35.949 --> 00:56:38.090 at that point. You can be really good and still 00:56:38.090 --> 00:56:40.469 lose a game and I think that's what Rhode Island 00:56:40.469 --> 00:56:42.929 is seeing right now. And I think this seems only 00:56:42.929 --> 00:56:44.630 get better as some of these players that have 00:56:44.630 --> 00:56:47.110 been integrated in season are gelling more and 00:56:47.110 --> 00:56:48.829 more. I mean, we see the relationship between 00:56:48.829 --> 00:56:50.989 the midfield trio. We see the strikers and the 00:56:50.989 --> 00:56:52.690 wingers now getting better and better with their 00:56:52.690 --> 00:56:54.909 wing backs and their new back four system. Like 00:56:54.909 --> 00:56:57.889 this team continues to improve. I think that 00:56:57.889 --> 00:57:00.050 this team is a fourth place team and that maybe 00:57:00.050 --> 00:57:01.869 if we can get the results our way, maybe there's 00:57:01.869 --> 00:57:03.349 a home playoff breath. But I think we are also 00:57:03.349 --> 00:57:05.650 getting further and further away from that. So 00:57:05.650 --> 00:57:07.989 in my heart and what the statistics say, we're 00:57:07.989 --> 00:57:09.889 a good team. Unfortunately, sometimes it just 00:57:09.889 --> 00:57:11.510 doesn't manifest in that thing we call luck. 00:57:11.789 --> 00:57:14.949 Yeah, if we continue the way that we're we're 00:57:14.949 --> 00:57:17.670 going on like we're definitely going to go on 00:57:17.670 --> 00:57:20.690 a late run like we have in the past. Leo O writes 00:57:20.690 --> 00:57:22.570 in, we've seen both mid -season low knees and 00:57:22.570 --> 00:57:24.670 permanent transfer players come in each season 00:57:24.670 --> 00:57:27.210 so far in this club's existence. Assuming this 00:57:27.210 --> 00:57:28.829 trend continues, where would you guys expect 00:57:28.829 --> 00:57:30.869 to see reinforcements brought in? And would you 00:57:30.869 --> 00:57:32.570 guys be hoping for either low knees like we've 00:57:32.570 --> 00:57:35.449 had in Corcoran or permanent signings like Bizzi 00:57:35.449 --> 00:57:36.949 and Omidy? So a little bit different than Matt 00:57:36.949 --> 00:57:40.329 Jean and Ben's questions. Do we want a low knee 00:57:40.329 --> 00:57:42.429 for this second half of the season or do we want 00:57:42.429 --> 00:57:45.670 a permanent? I would almost lean towards Loney. 00:57:45.929 --> 00:57:48.409 And the only reason being that maybe if it's 00:57:48.409 --> 00:57:50.989 something that doesn't have as many strings attached 00:57:50.989 --> 00:57:55.650 to it as like them being able to leave. But the 00:57:55.650 --> 00:57:58.369 problem is this team feels like Kano already 00:57:58.369 --> 00:58:01.570 has his decided 11 and you can maybe extend that 00:58:01.570 --> 00:58:05.389 to like 12, 13 or 14. But any player we're going 00:58:05.389 --> 00:58:08.090 to bring in is not going to be in a position 00:58:08.090 --> 00:58:11.340 to really like crack that star 11, unless we 00:58:11.340 --> 00:58:14.019 find another hominy joke who just is somehow 00:58:14.019 --> 00:58:17.159 a massive upgrade to, to a position that we didn't 00:58:17.159 --> 00:58:23.079 know we even needed. Um, so in that regards, 00:58:23.260 --> 00:58:25.719 I mean, like, or why not even both? I mean, if 00:58:25.719 --> 00:58:28.320 we have the space, you bring in a loan for temporary 00:58:28.320 --> 00:58:30.800 to kind of get us through those. The dog days 00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:32.760 of summer. And then you bring in another kind 00:58:32.760 --> 00:58:35.360 of youth player who's like, they're going to 00:58:35.360 --> 00:58:36.980 start to integrate in the second half of the 00:58:36.980 --> 00:58:39.500 season and someone maybe for next year. I mean, 00:58:40.139 --> 00:58:42.500 again, results don't show it, but I almost wonder, 00:58:42.639 --> 00:58:44.179 like, we haven't heard a lot of player contract 00:58:44.179 --> 00:58:46.400 extensions. We know the ones that are going to 00:58:46.400 --> 00:58:49.400 26, 27, now even 28. I don't even know if there's 00:58:49.400 --> 00:58:52.159 a player that I would say Kano should be releasing 00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:53.619 at the end of the season, at least out of the 00:58:53.619 --> 00:58:56.300 starting 11. So unless there's a player that 00:58:56.300 --> 00:58:58.719 maybe potentially they would lose because he 00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:01.099 could get scouted to a better league or would 00:59:01.099 --> 00:59:03.940 want to activate some way of moving on, that's 00:59:03.940 --> 00:59:05.760 the only spot I would see. So yeah, you are looking 00:59:05.760 --> 00:59:09.550 for that secondary tertiary role. To me, you're 00:59:09.550 --> 00:59:11.349 playing a lot better when you are playing with 00:59:11.349 --> 00:59:13.449 low knee money than versus a permanent transfer 00:59:13.449 --> 00:59:15.650 because I just don't think we need another starting 00:59:15.650 --> 00:59:19.449 caliber player right now. Yeah. Joe P here. Good 00:59:19.449 --> 00:59:22.510 back on track game or what I call a morale booster 00:59:22.510 --> 00:59:24.989 against West Chester. It was good to see Clay 00:59:24.989 --> 00:59:27.829 get back to his dominant form and Noah showed 00:59:27.829 --> 00:59:31.130 flashes of his play in 2024. I know Kano looks 00:59:31.130 --> 00:59:33.309 at the defensive formation of sides before he 00:59:33.309 --> 00:59:35.989 decides to press or not. We will see if he uses 00:59:35.989 --> 00:59:38.650 it against Loudon. We need the three points to 00:59:38.650 --> 00:59:41.090 keep pace before the break. We need the three 00:59:41.090 --> 00:59:43.710 points for a lot of different reasons. We need 00:59:43.710 --> 00:59:45.570 to beat Loudon for the first time ever. We need 00:59:45.570 --> 00:59:47.869 to keep the pace before the break and we need 00:59:47.869 --> 00:59:50.309 to be able to jump Loudon and get further into 00:59:50.309 --> 00:59:51.750 the, well, we're not jumping them, but we need 00:59:51.750 --> 00:59:54.590 to get further into the, a win could put us back 00:59:54.590 --> 00:59:56.409 into playoffs for the first time in a long time 00:59:56.409 --> 00:59:57.889 this season. I don't even know if we were ever 00:59:57.889 --> 01:00:00.409 in the playoffs officially. Have we been, have 01:00:00.409 --> 01:00:03.679 we been over the line yet this season? I don't 01:00:03.679 --> 01:00:05.820 think if it was it was like the first game of 01:00:05.820 --> 01:00:08.739 the season. Well, no, cuz I don't I don't think 01:00:08.739 --> 01:00:10.980 we How does the roster start when there's zero 01:00:10.980 --> 01:00:13.800 matches played? I think it's alphabetically. 01:00:13.800 --> 01:00:16.260 So we're still towards the bottom. Yeah, okay 01:00:16.260 --> 01:00:19.480 Stacey L writes in did you get to say happy birthday 01:00:19.480 --> 01:00:21.840 to chip this weekend? I did get a chance to run 01:00:21.840 --> 01:00:24.960 into him. So yeah, I I did get that opportunity 01:00:24.960 --> 01:00:27.340 I have a video of him hugging chip and doing 01:00:27.340 --> 01:00:29.639 a little twirl. So whether he remembers that 01:00:29.639 --> 01:00:34.460 or not different story Bob D here says, were 01:00:34.460 --> 01:00:37.360 you surprised to see Koke Vegas and net on Saturday, 01:00:37.699 --> 01:00:39.780 given that Westchester has gone one year without 01:00:39.780 --> 01:00:42.619 scoring, winning a single game on the road? Wouldn't 01:00:42.619 --> 01:00:44.659 this have been the perfect game to see Castro 01:00:44.659 --> 01:00:48.920 or Meyer? Yes, I mean, I'm not surprised because 01:00:48.920 --> 01:00:50.679 I think I'm the one, especially I remember the 01:00:50.679 --> 01:00:52.699 notes and then Jason and Torrin were talking. 01:00:52.739 --> 01:00:54.579 Oh, it's Torrin. I was like, it's it's the Vegas 01:00:54.579 --> 01:00:57.920 show. I listen, especially for what Kano said. 01:00:58.019 --> 01:01:00.340 It sounds like Castro and Meyer won't find a 01:01:00.340 --> 01:01:03.030 way in unless. Vegas gets hurt and I'm going 01:01:03.030 --> 01:01:04.250 to knock on wood on that because we don't want 01:01:04.250 --> 01:01:06.650 to see that. I just I think this is the Vegas 01:01:06.650 --> 01:01:08.730 year, the year of the Vegas in the Chinese Zodiac, 01:01:08.889 --> 01:01:11.110 so I just don't see it any other way. Unfortunately, 01:01:11.510 --> 01:01:12.989 but it would have been a perfect game to see 01:01:12.989 --> 01:01:15.750 a player like Castro or Meyer in Mike are catching 01:01:15.750 --> 01:01:18.190 up on the pods just finished the John Morrissey 01:01:18.190 --> 01:01:20.849 episode. You are behind my friend. Who do you 01:01:20.849 --> 01:01:23.849 guys think are early contenders for our AFC player 01:01:23.849 --> 01:01:27.309 or defender of the year? We're sticking to defenders. 01:01:27.630 --> 01:01:29.769 You got to throw Kareef his name in there. The 01:01:29.769 --> 01:01:31.949 consistency justice person. I was going to say 01:01:31.949 --> 01:01:33.690 Sanchez, but the problem is like a funny thing. 01:01:33.690 --> 01:01:35.730 I would put him more in the player there because 01:01:35.730 --> 01:01:39.010 he he does. He played on both sides of the ball. 01:01:40.070 --> 01:01:43.090 Right, and so there's no one. There's no one 01:01:43.090 --> 01:01:45.250 taking that away from JJ Williams this year or 01:01:45.250 --> 01:01:47.090 Georgia. It's one of those like you just know. 01:01:47.809 --> 01:01:51.340 I guess you would put him in the. you know, the 01:01:51.340 --> 01:01:53.179 discussion then for defenders well too, especially 01:01:53.179 --> 01:01:55.900 because we haven't seen consistency from our 01:01:55.900 --> 01:01:57.579 other defenders yet this year. Not that they 01:01:57.579 --> 01:01:59.500 have been bad at all, but they've all kind of 01:01:59.500 --> 01:02:02.800 had off games where I, I can't say that about 01:02:02.800 --> 01:02:05.159 Sanchez or Kareefa. I think Nick Scardino also 01:02:05.159 --> 01:02:07.179 making a case, but he missed a lot of early. 01:02:07.860 --> 01:02:10.400 He didn't hit the ground running with us. He 01:02:10.400 --> 01:02:13.639 needed a few more weeks to jail. Rachel H saying 01:02:13.639 --> 01:02:15.920 it feels like all we do is score a crazy amount 01:02:15.920 --> 01:02:18.940 of goals at home. Is it to say to say we're good 01:02:18.940 --> 01:02:22.719 at home? I mean, I yeah, I don't think this is 01:02:22.719 --> 01:02:27.440 a bad team. I did do the numbers. 21 goals in 01:02:27.440 --> 01:02:30.780 10 games at Santa Real Bank Stadium so far this 01:02:30.780 --> 01:02:35.239 year. So just that's 2 .1 goals per game. And 01:02:35.239 --> 01:02:36.960 I'm counting 10 games because we have to count 01:02:36.960 --> 01:02:39.179 the revs match that was away. We scored one in 01:02:39.179 --> 01:02:42.880 that Jason 21 goals. I will remind you, we scored 01:02:42.880 --> 01:02:45.739 19 all season at home in Centerville Bank last 01:02:45.739 --> 01:02:48.400 season. I think we are a very good team at home 01:02:48.400 --> 01:02:51.179 this year. Even if we have weird results like 01:02:51.179 --> 01:02:53.699 that Birmingham match or a draw against Tampa 01:02:53.699 --> 01:02:55.659 Bay, I think we're a very good team at home. 01:02:55.739 --> 01:02:57.559 And that's, again, why this isn't translating 01:02:57.559 --> 01:02:59.840 that this table standing should be better than 01:02:59.840 --> 01:03:03.280 what it is. This question shouldn't even be asked, 01:03:03.400 --> 01:03:06.679 but I forgot that it was. Ben W, what's your 01:03:06.679 --> 01:03:08.860 favorite pregame sandwich that you've ever had? 01:03:09.099 --> 01:03:14.480 Ever. Oh, man. That's tough. Is a burger a sandwich? 01:03:16.179 --> 01:03:19.079 I mean, that's like asking is ravioli a hot tart, 01:03:19.079 --> 01:03:23.000 you know? He wants to know if the Cuban he made 01:03:23.000 --> 01:03:25.420 you was the best sandwich that or maybe he wants 01:03:25.420 --> 01:03:27.519 to ask me this. He's asking you because I didn't 01:03:27.519 --> 01:03:30.460 have it. Oh, Ben, I don't remember. You're gonna 01:03:30.460 --> 01:03:32.599 have to make me another one and then I will be 01:03:32.599 --> 01:03:35.760 able to report it. That's the answer. I mean, 01:03:35.820 --> 01:03:38.489 I'll take it. I'll take a Cuban. I remember The 01:03:38.489 --> 01:03:41.210 sliders he had, he made the first game were fantastic. 01:03:41.610 --> 01:03:43.789 So stop giving Ben credit. He doesn't deserve. 01:03:44.150 --> 01:03:45.590 Thank you for feeding and thank you for everyone 01:03:45.590 --> 01:03:50.309 that feeds us at the pre games. Joe. Who else? 01:03:52.359 --> 01:03:54.460 If I don't remember your name, yell at me in 01:03:54.460 --> 01:03:56.860 the DMS and we'll go from there. Kyle K says, 01:03:56.940 --> 01:03:59.159 who's your dark horse for the world cup? So a 01:03:59.159 --> 01:04:01.340 couple of episodes ago I joked that it was France 01:04:01.340 --> 01:04:03.679 and then someone I think was Sam Ladoff was like, 01:04:03.679 --> 01:04:06.500 France is a good team. Like it was called being 01:04:06.500 --> 01:04:10.380 facetious. So statistically we talked about this 01:04:10.380 --> 01:04:12.960 yesterday. Japan for some reason is considered 01:04:12.960 --> 01:04:14.619 one of the best dark horses. Everyone's been 01:04:14.619 --> 01:04:16.920 saying that and I'm like, I've I've been. I guess 01:04:16.920 --> 01:04:19.460 I'm sleeping on Japan, too. I haven't paid that 01:04:19.460 --> 01:04:21.719 much attention to them. So if you're asking me 01:04:21.719 --> 01:04:24.360 for the future bets here, then apparently it's 01:04:24.360 --> 01:04:26.880 Japan. But my heart of heart tells me and it's 01:04:26.880 --> 01:04:28.860 not even fair because to be a dark horse means 01:04:28.860 --> 01:04:32.300 you have to you have to be like questionable. 01:04:32.599 --> 01:04:35.039 And I think I think Morocco could have a really 01:04:35.039 --> 01:04:37.179 good run again, considering how well they did 01:04:37.179 --> 01:04:39.039 last time around. They've only gotten better. 01:04:39.260 --> 01:04:41.159 They're hosting the World Cup next year. Their 01:04:41.159 --> 01:04:43.539 federation has put a lot of resources into building 01:04:43.539 --> 01:04:46.829 their talent. So four years later, This will 01:04:46.829 --> 01:04:48.429 be the test of are they getting better or was 01:04:48.429 --> 01:04:50.670 that a fluke? Was that a flash in the pan? My 01:04:50.670 --> 01:04:54.349 money is on Morocco. I know you've got 2014 Belgium 01:04:54.349 --> 01:04:57.170 as your dark horse as you should. Yeah, they're 01:04:57.170 --> 01:05:00.269 running it back. Did you see the Lukaku training 01:05:00.269 --> 01:05:03.909 video where he missed every single... I mean, 01:05:03.949 --> 01:05:05.889 you could do that for any player, but it was 01:05:05.889 --> 01:05:09.670 also absolutely hilarious. So yeah, there's your 01:05:09.670 --> 01:05:13.070 answer, Kyle. It's either Morocco, Japan or Belgium. 01:05:13.150 --> 01:05:14.650 So just bet on one of the three and you'll get 01:05:14.650 --> 01:05:17.630 a... Nice pay down. Oh Justin Justin asking for 01:05:17.630 --> 01:05:20.539 of course just this see this is what I knew Justin 01:05:20.539 --> 01:05:22.199 in the chat going I don't get a shout out for 01:05:22.199 --> 01:05:24.300 cooking.
