Speaker 1 (00:00):
Uh, here we go, Here we go with Bruce Burry
Dave Johnson. It's first eleven, yes, eleven minutes or less.
We give you the latest on DC and I is
we get set for the New England Revolution on Wednesday night. Now, yes,
it was a letdown after that thrilling Open Cup win
in two nothing lost of New York Red Bulls and
DC and I is struggling to score in league play.
We'll get to that in a moment. But at the
(00:21):
other end of the field, Louis Barrazza now broken.
Speaker 2 (00:24):
Up in midfield, the Red Bulls a ball through to Valencia, Valencia,
I'm winning. A foot raceman rolls to flex across, but
now it comes to force Worth.
Speaker 1 (00:32):
Barazzas stones up ten yards from the Endlins, Bruce Burray,
what are you seeing from Louis Barrazza as he has
really secured that starting goalkeeper role.
Speaker 3 (00:41):
First of all, he's a veteran of six years and
he's seen pretty much everything. And you know, his positioning
is really good, you know what. I call him as
quick as Kim latterly know. But he's at this point
a better a goalkeeper, better option at this point right now.
Speaker 1 (00:56):
But finishing has been a challenge.
Speaker 2 (00:59):
Kajima goes now through the box to murlw Meryle Jurns
left for a shot saved by Cornell Oh twelve yards
twelve yards a goal and left foot a shot by
Merle is saying.
Speaker 1 (01:11):
By Cornell, Jacob Murle working so hard, just not able
to finish.
Speaker 4 (01:16):
You got to be a killer. You just have to.
Speaker 3 (01:18):
You have to find a way to get it in
the back of the net. The shot that Jacob hit,
he did everything right, and then the shot wasn't of
the quality necessary to be. You know, a goalkeeper like
Cornell we're talking of, we expect because we've seen these goals.
We expect more, you know, like we expect we expect
him bope out of out of Jacob.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
But you know he's not. He's two years in the league. Man,
he's twenty two years old, Dave.
Speaker 3 (01:43):
They have to run a basically what you would call
a three man weave in basketball. They have to have
three wingers in front of eight. The eight defend. If
you can get up the field, great, if not, stay
back let those guys run. It's what the national team
does because they don't have Josie Altador, they.
Speaker 4 (02:04):
Don't have Brian McBride.
Speaker 3 (02:05):
They don't have that big center forward that they need, uh,
and that is what we have to do. We cannot
hit and hope to Jacob Merle, it's not gonna work.
Speaker 4 (02:16):
It's just going to.
Speaker 3 (02:17):
Continue to keep coming back to you and eventually it's attrition.
Eventually is going to kill you. It's gonna it's gonna
you know, it's.
Speaker 4 (02:25):
Gonna blow up and they're going to score.
Speaker 1 (02:28):
And you know all too well about turnovers, turnover.
Speaker 2 (02:31):
And Schoper mulching play said, why now the Carmona left
of the area, Carmona fob of the box, Foursburg Firs
springs at the Harper, Harper the shot, the goal, tampern
Harper scores, turnover leads to a goal.
Speaker 1 (02:46):
And for Lucas mcnonten.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
I think just limiting the transitions and the giveaways and
trying to play in their half. What they're really good
at is second balls, playing over the top, playing behind you,
making you uncomfortable in whatever situation that is. You see,
when their center backs have the ball, they don't really
think about playing through balls, playing through the middle. They
just want to put in behind you and cause you trouble.
And so if you limit your mistakes.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
That's the that's the hard part.
Speaker 3 (03:08):
You immediately have to you know, get everyone galvanized. You know,
where do you need to be. Lucas Parlan does a
great job as a communicator. Like I said, you know
in the pregame, is probably a little bit wrong and skewed,
saying fifty percent of the time.
Speaker 4 (03:23):
But man, you give it away in this league, Dave,
they'll punish it.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Now getting back to that thrilling Open Cup victory. Yeah,
DC and I one on the day but lost their
pizza money.
Speaker 2 (03:35):
We're still buzzing about the other night and we can
do that. L Abana putting the ball on the spot.
Jordan Varn has made three saves in this penalty shootout.
Whistle sounds Abana of pumpts and inside Jordan far Fur
(03:59):
saves time in.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
The quarter finals for these you.
Speaker 2 (04:03):
Jordan Farr makes four saves to allow DC and I
had to advance their quarterfinals. Now, you know, teams have fun.
This is camarader You had a little you have some
a pot of money based on who's late and fines
and that type of thing, and you've you've lost it
all because of Jordan Farr.
Speaker 5 (04:20):
Well, first, of all, thank you for having me. Yep,
and uh yeah, funny story. I mean, when when a
keeper gets subbed into a game, you know he's done
amazingly in training. We obviously pactice penalty kicks and you
see that he's he's got reflexes like a cat. He's
jumping all over the place and making it safe. So
coach's decision put him in, and us watching from the
from the box, we're saying, you know, we have this
(04:41):
pizza party and then in the year, if guys come late,
we get fines and we start betting this this big
pot of money, saying Jordan's gonna save two penalties and
end up saying four, so we lost all the money.
But yeah, he's he's a legend already in this club.
Speaker 2 (04:56):
Well, I think we can get a bunch of supporters together.
We'll throw a pizza party for Jordan and the rest
of you. Because that was a night to remember for
DC Night.
Speaker 1 (05:03):

never know what to expect. DC toned New England Revolution.
