Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ex president of the Sons of Ben, Matt Gantastic X
head Capo Adam Booth, ex player and forever a Union
legend Sebastian Latoo. These may be exes, but they're the
experts when it comes to the Philadelphia Union. This is
Exes in the U.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Welcome back, everybody to another exciting week of Exes in
the U. This is actually episode number forty eight again.
I'm Matt Candazak, former President of Sons Ben. I'm joined
by ex head Capitol Adam Booth and of course for
every Union legend Sebastian Latoo. Guys, what a week, Adam?
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I'm good, I'm tired. I love my child.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
He's great.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
But you know, the Union have been happy to me
get through these sleepless nights a little bit better, so
I'm happy about it.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, Saba, how about yourself? How was this week?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
As we was great?
Speaker 5 (00:55):
I think a great win, you know, like and I'm saying,
like those full gores good, you know too, pursue into
a beautiful week and he.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Has been the case.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
So exciting for a match this weekend in Cincinnati and uh,
you know, for another great residents.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, and like we said, uh, Seba just did Union Insider,
so he's got some some tips for us about what's
gonna happen with Cincinnati, And of course you are going
out to Cincinnati covering it, so I know you're dialed
in and we'll get into that after we discussed the
happiness that happened in Chester, which was Chicago for nothing,
statement win and a little luck, Miami tide, Columbus loss,
(01:35):
Cincinnati was shut out, San Diego was held scoreless against Portland,
so that means we're back on top of the supporter
shield grace. So guys, Seba, why don't you tell us
about this game? I mean, four goals four different players,
I mean unbelievable. What were your thoughts on the Chicago
and can we can we play Chicago every week?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah? I think it was a very very good food.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Performance, you know, like you say, four goals for four
defferent players. I think offensively we're really dialed in, and defensively,
I think we really shut down.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Chicago offense is one of the best, you know in
the league.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
You know, Andrew Wick with a clean ship where I
think it's very good for his confidence. Knowing that Drey
right now, is you know, having a little injury and
not sure when he will be back. So I think, yeah,
beside maybe I will say in a game like the
post in the second half, then Chicago got, you know,
to maybe get back at one one, I think we
were ready in control of that game. I think like
(02:36):
having especially like Wagner, you know, having a great game
Westfield on the right side, or really helping offensively, you know,
the team with you know, going up and down. It's
it's really like the best of the Union offensively, we
can recreate a lot of things. And and I feel
like two with Els Key commingunity team, I was like
(02:57):
I already say a few times, but I'm a big
fan of how he played, you know, like his his
decision making, his goal was amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
We can see the quality of the players.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
So it's been now a couple of you know games
he has been with the team, and you can see
it's kind of like getting into the system and the
way to play when he plays the number ten or
if he plays a forward.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
But I think it's a great addition to the team.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
So now overall, great reaction after a tough loss in
a Red Bulls we were kind of like hoping to
see a game like that and the deliver. So now
full confidence for this weekend against Cincinnati, like you said,
just lost every result went our way last weekend, So
let's you know, try to make a good result in
(03:46):
Sincey because he could be a big turnaround for the
race or first, you know, the first place in the East,
and of course you know the shield. But I think
right now the focus is just to get the positive results,
so maybe we can this weekend be.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
In the playoff.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Of course, you know mentioned Ty got a goal. He's
at sixteen goals now, so he's third in the Golden
Boot race. Milan. I mean, it looks like he found
his role with the team and he has two goals
and three appearances. I think with that is that eleven
or twelve for him now in MLS counting his San
Diego So I mean he's looking like he's fitting in. Adam,
(04:28):
what your thoughts on this? For nothing?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Just beautiful win. Look, this is what we looked for,
you know. Frankly, it was one of these things where
the Union definitely looked dominant in a lot of these games,
but the last putting the game away was just a
difficulty that they were suffering. Through for the better part
of this season, and I think putting together a four
(04:56):
nothing quality match against a team that's actually pretty solid,
you know, Chicago will be in the conversation for some
of those last playoff spots when a come, when the
time comes. So to do that against a team like that,
I think was a really good boost to the morale.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
It was.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
It was a dominating performance. You know, you got Andrew
Rick in there, and it wasn't just the fact that
he was in there. He was making saves. He made
a couple of good wow moments, and at this point
you really shouldn't be shocked by what anything he does
other than the fact that his age, because he has
enough MLS minutes for me to declare him a quality
(05:37):
goal leiade at least for this league standard. And you know,
I feel confident with him between the sticks. This has
nothing to do with how good I believe Andre Blake is,
because I do. I believe if Andre Blake is in
the net, Union have a better chance to win than
lose ninety nine percent of the time. But you know,
the kid has come in, he's done great. To see
four different goal scorers, including Kai Wagner, who does a
(06:01):
lot of setting up for goals for him to give
himself atally as well. It was it was a refreshing result.
It really I think at least washed away some of
the feelings and some of the grime over the last
couple of weeks in terms of the results that have
been gritty to say the least. So I think, you know,
(06:24):
having a team that is at the top, occasionally you
would like to see them exert inflex that dominance. And
they did and it shows a lot of potential. And
you want this team to get hot right now, you know,
you want this to be if Andre has to be out,
let's score six goals a game again, you know, let's
play at high intensity levels offensively, and let's make sure
(06:49):
that everyone kind of sees the ball going to the
net because you're going to need that come playoff time.
I think more times than not, it's not just the starters,
guys coming off the bench making contributions to win new matches.
So the Union flexing their depth and their ability to
play on both sides of the ball was was really
(07:10):
nice to see. And good to see Jack Elliott too.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
It was okay to see him, but anyhow, but Seba
I want to ask you, can you walk us through
that set piece that Kai had. I mean, maybe do
a little play by play on that that That's something
I think Kai said they they practiced a few times,
but I guess they shelved it. But you want to
just go into how how how guys on the field,
We'll talk about that and try to try to incorporate
(07:36):
something that's a pretty cute little set piece.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Yeah, I think you know in that moment, especially actual
the three of them we are on the board. You know,
he was last key, Wagner and Sivan. It's kind of
a free kick that anybody can hit. It's raining me
doorle options at the end of the day, I would
I like it's you know, as they kind of came
up with who's going to take it, he was not
you know, a fight or anything.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
And you can see what's healthy about this team.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
It's they know their rules, they know what to do,
and they figured out that, Yeah, it could have probably
be better for a car who probably has a you know,
great left foot, and you know, he got really well
played at the perfect timing and at the end, you know,
after say the whole of Chicago really fell apart. He
didn't really stayed together and you know, we find like
(08:25):
a little hole and it was a great strike by
a back guy. But what I feel like about, you know,
this free kick was more about, you know, the discussion
before he was nobody like, hey, I'm taking it, you're
taking it. I've been in those few times and there's
always one or two play. I'm feeling good about it,
and it's kind of a little fight at the end
on this one. I don't think it was anything he was.
(08:46):
We knew who was going to take it, you know,
but in the three of them and had a little
discussion and they got you know, quickly, you know, the
decision about what they were going to do.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
And it was well played because you know they called
that goal. So but big goal is not to be
up to zero because we.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Are kind of waiting for that for a long time
and being up one zero for a long time and
giving up like goal.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
This one really felt good.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
But yeah, what I what I will say to about
another game and I forgot take about It's what really
marked me to us watching it.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
It's our patient we were you know in our build up.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Especially like the first goal and something that didn't happen
that game, it's you know, losing those balls in the
middle of the back kind of like forcing the issue
that we have been doing a little bit the past
couple of game. When you know we are getting counter
attack against us, it's something that we didn't do. We
don't try to do the pass you know, right in
the middle where every defense are waiting for. We are
(09:45):
really moving the ball or left to right, right to
left and then you know, go with it. So I
really like like that as well from the team, not
forcing the issue and be comfortable on the ball, especially
when they are all.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, a great point, and they we've been saying it
all year that they really are playing like a team.
So again, great win, great performance from from everybody, you know,
the coaching staff, and you know, let's let's hope, you know,
we carry this into Cincinnati. Little little union news we
mentioned it. Blake's out for a couple of weeks. I
don't know, does this guy need to start doing some
(10:20):
tai chi or some yoga, adam to get these hamstrings
a little bit stronger. It's just, uh, it's it's a constant.
There's two constants with Blake. You know, he's always he's
great and he's injured. We got some UH international national
team call ups. Tye Dan Le, Jean Jacques and uh
Nate all got caught up to the UH to the
(10:42):
national teams for the international window, and we had some
U seven teams caught up, including CAVN. So congratulations to
those guys. Now, Adam, I have a question for you
in these notes. I think there's something you wanted to
talk about. Can you explain to me pixels?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Okay, so, and you know, but if you want to
take a nap, that's fine, I understand.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Legitimately, we need to talk about how MLS does not
allow deviation with this Adidas contract. Like, I'm not gonna
be here and sit and talk about the merits of
having a league that has a single sponsor for the
whole league. As an American sports fan, That's how I
grew up, So I'm not really unhurt. It's not unheard of.
(11:23):
But within that that you should allow creativity and difference
to exist. You know, there should be something to be
said about making jerseys that are unique to the teams,
making merchandise and paraphernalia that have GEO tagged, you know,
(11:46):
elements to it. Just make it something that is unique
to the club or the location or whatever. Like I understand,
Adidas is just printing all of these things out and
just putting a new bad on top of it and
just saying, hey, look it's whatever club you root for
his new warm up top. But the reason why Matt
(12:07):
said pixels was this week was the video game E
Sports Top, which I believe is coinciding with FC twenty
six's arrival. And it's just so lazy at this point
and such an obvious cash grab that you make so
many of these warm up tops, and as opposed to
(12:30):
just being like, why don't we get a graphic designer
to come in from each one of these clubs and
add elements to it that makes it unique to their
own city and make it people have more incentive to
buy it. They just make the same thing for the
entire league, and it's just so it's just so lazy,
and it's just so uninspired, and it just it bothers
(12:54):
me because it just reminds you on how corporate all
of this is. I don't try to suspend my belief
in form the Premier League is still in love with
the romantic side of football like it used to be.
You know the fact that Everton doesn't play in Goodess
in Park is one of the greatest examples of that
for me right now. But it does speak to me
(13:18):
that you could try to not seem as like just
a corporate entity as you are when you keep doing
this stuff over and over and over again. Like I
worked for the esports department with the Union. You know
I could have and I'm not saying I needed to be,
but there's several people who could have been like, hey,
(13:39):
we have history in this. We are the most winningest
club in esports history. Like we have our own lounge,
we have all of these elements that make it unique
to us. That would be something where I can see
that selling. But just making the same thing that someone's
going to be wearing in Seattle but with a different badge,
it just it feels so lazy, uninspired, And it's my
(14:02):
little rant, but you know, like I'm just kind of
getting tired of it.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So will you be buying one of these September sixteenth
when it drops at the show?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
No No, And I, in full disclosure, I got the
last one that came out because I really just liked
the design of it.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
And now I just like whatever, but as well, but yeah,
same thing I do. I do hate Sometimes you see
that kit, like you know, the one we got last
last week or a couple of weeks ago, and you'll
see a redb Bull fan wearing it and you're like, oh,
go you Oh no, that's got a whole different logo
to it.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
You know.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
It's just yeah, because I enjoy seeing people wearing Philadelphia
sports stuffs when I'm traveling, you know, in the airport,
because I can give a go fills, Go Union, go Birds,
you know. But yeah, that that I totally understand the right.
And now we got to make up sure subs a week.
But guys, no, no, no, I didn't snip.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I didn't snip. I don't want to say something. I
was talking about this, which is funny. A friend of
mine bought you know, the kind of Captain America.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Do you remember, Yeah, and you went in.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
He went to an away game for whatever, I think
maybe Nashville, and he saw somebody was the same shild
and he was like a great child man, go Union.
And then he saw the Nashville patch on his which
was you know, the same child but defon Tim and
they was like oh and he thought it was just
you know, for a union because of course, you know,
is the city of the degression of independence, and you know,
(15:22):
it was like, oh, it's an American flag, but no.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
It was not.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
So Yeah, if he felt disappointed, for sure, You're speak why.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Would he not? You know, it's just so it would
just be so easy to just not do that, you
know or whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Well, as you were talking about MLS being a corporate
chill at him. Let's just go right into it. Lee's Cup.
It was an MLS final for Miami beat Orlando City,
Seattle beat the Galaxy. So we're gonna have Miami versus
Seattle in Seattle this Sunday. If you're absolutely bored and
(15:56):
have nothing else to do, you can tune in to
see if Messi gets another cup for for South Florida.
We'll see. The only other lead news I have was, dude,
Chris Albright pulled a uh not really Ernst Tanner, but
he made some moves. Man, they get Brenner back, and
uh mar, how do you say that last name? Adam Dominica?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
No, no, no, that's all you my friend, go for
it that way.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
But uh yeah, so Cincinnati just came out firing in
the transfer deadline. I mean they are, and who knows
if these guys are gonna be ready for this game.
Maybe that's the and sab, but we'll go right into it.
Do you think Brenner and the guy I can't pronounce
his last name Marzuik? Marzuik? Is that all you say?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
It?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Breathe?
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I'm not sure. I would have to you know, work
on it before the game on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, do you think those guys are gonna show up?
Speaker 5 (16:50):
I mean they might, but I feel like, you know,
when you have a team on Cincinnati, will you get
you know, two of those guys who are supposed now
maybe to become a starter for them, does he move
a little bit?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Like the chemistry in this group?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
They just you know, signed those guys and they lost,
you know, at home against New York City FC. So
I feel like they are now chasing a little bit
and they need to, you know, get some goals and
some offense out of them. So it takes you know,
time to get guys back, you know, to like the
chemistry of a team who has been doing great for
(17:27):
the benning of the season. So I hope they are
not ready. I hope they still need to figure out
the system and everything, and hopefully the Union take advantage
of that.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, and we're going to talk about it away. Cincinnati
seventh said one o loss to New York City. They've
lost two of three since their their League's Cup exit.
They've taken ten points from their last seven ammal scheme.
So not haven't been performing the way Cincinnati we think
they are, But they have a four game stretch. They're
(17:58):
getting us, Nashville and Orlando. I mean, so they have
a similar gauntlet that we're running through as well, because
we've got Cincinnati and then Vancouver. So Saba, I mean,
you've you've done some studying already on this. What do
you think about the Cincinnati game? You know, where's what
should we look for to hope that the Union get
(18:20):
a result in Cincinnati?
Speaker 5 (18:23):
I mean, I feel we're gonna look for a battle,
you know, and for like some guys not fighting for
every board, you know, since he's now in the chasing seats,
we are like in first, so a wain would be fantastic,
and I think the loss they had last week to
New York City Elcy show them that it's possible. But
you need to be for sure, discipline defensively, you know
(18:46):
they're going to try to come hard on on the Union,
but we can beat them. It's definitely a tough stadium,
but I think we are a you know, in a
great position.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Being still first in front of them, since in pretty
much to make the game.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
And I really really hope, like with the week of preparasion,
being on a you know, a good mental space, with
like the winn against Chicago, we can kind of keep
something on that and get another busy roup because if we,
let's say, beat Cincinnati, which I think it's possible, you
put them in a now five points and then you
(19:25):
go to Vancouver, which is another tough game and another
tough road. But like you said, Cincinnati play in Nashville
and it's big, you know, it's like the number two
playing number three, So it could be you know, some
points we can win as well in that and you
can see a big maybe.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Margin after the Vancouver game.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
So I'm really looking for, well, of course, one game
all the time again since it's not gonna be easy
and come you know at the Union. It feels like
almost like a like a final of the East maybe.
But what I like about the fact that we have
two tough games away. I said that in a show today.
You can really like brings the team together, you know,
(20:02):
being away. You don't play at home in the month.
And if you get you know, like the team together
like they've been doing it from the beginning, it could
be huge enough for the rest of the season in
the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, and I want to just mention one thing that
you said about it, and then I'll get into Adam.
That stadium is tough. But the toughest thing about that stadium,
guys is trying to go to the bathroom because they
have like all these bathrooms but literally two stalls, Like
it's impossible. You wait in line. I'm never in a
stadium in my life waited longer in line. So that's
my ran against Cincinnati. Do better with that nice stadium, Adam,
(20:36):
your faults on Cincinnati ifc.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Look, this is going to start a stretch that is
going to be tough for the Union, obviously, especially playing
on the road a lot of these matches. But Cincinnati
hasn't playing i would say mediocre at best at home recently.
Their last win was a July sixteenth at home. They've
(21:00):
lost I believe four matches in a row at TQL Stadium.
So it's been tough. It's been tough for Cincinnati as
of late, and this is probably why all Bright and
then have brought up the firepower that is necessary that
they're trying to, you know, chase the Union with. Right now,
this game doesn't is a very I mean, it's monumental
(21:22):
obviously because either way it does make a giant shift
in the standings, but ultimately, if you look at it objectively,
you know, if I'm going to sell it to you,
I'm going to say this is for the Eastern Conference.
You know, if I'm going to be a broadcaster, not SEBA,
but if I'm going to be a broadcaster on a
third party and I'm trying to sell it to a neutral,
I'm going to say this is for the East. As
(21:44):
a person who's a Union fan, I know, ultimately Union
win or tie is gangbusters for the Union. The Union
loss doesn't sink them. And because really what you said
is true about Cincinnati's gauntlet towards the end of the
season themselves that they have to go through, and if
the Union figure out a way to win this game,
(22:06):
then you're five points up and that's going to be tough,
especially if they can find a way to get result
against Nashville, then you really posh start to season separation
with them at the top, frankly, separation that they maybe
should have already had. But that's another conversation. But what's
real about this is for Cincinnati, this is pretty much
(22:27):
a win or this is going to be really difficult
to climb them out in situation for them. So I
look at it where this is not Union play with
house money. You want to go in there and you
want to smash them. You want to do the best
you can to win. You want to play like you
are the desperate team. But realistically, you know it's not
going to ruin the Union to not get a result here,
(22:50):
but it will definitely boost them in a positive direction
and go for the supporter shield moving forward. And it's
a winnable game. You know, if you look at Theincinnati
all this season, they've won a lot of games, but
they've never really looked but so dominant in a handful
of them. They have a plus seven goal differential at
(23:10):
this point in the season, where in comparison, I believe
the Union have a plus fifteen. And it's just you
don't a team that's that high up, but it's still
not winning games in decisive margins. You know, it something
to the least look at. And I don't know if
Cincinnati is quote worrying about that, but their offensive production
(23:32):
has not been there, and I think that something that
the Union can definitely take advantage of.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, the thing is, I know we've been focused for
going Cincinnati then Vancouver, but there's some time in between.
They've got like a week's breaks. There's time to so
we should be all in. I mean, Bradley's got to
push all the chips in just to get the get
a good result. And why I say a good result,
I want three points out of Cincinnati and then again
September thirteenth is Vancouver and then open Cup against Nashville.
(24:02):
That's a tighter window. So if you guys just a
real brief, you know, let's take a look at Vancouver
and then we can kind of call it a day
and get ready for the Cincinnati game. But Saba, what
are you thinking about Vancouver. I mean, they're gonna be
well rested. I think they're gonna have three week break
or something for some reason, and they're five points back
of the Union. Four points behind San Diego, but they've
(24:24):
got a game in hand. So I mean, this Vancouver
game is important for them for you know, the Western
Conference and the shield and playoff standings and any thoughts
on on Vancouver and they're there addition of a German superstar.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Yeah, I mean it is important.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
But I'm gonna give you a Bradley count and and
I think the only focus right now, I see there
is so much time, you know between those two games.
I'm really thinking about Cincinnati. But like Adam said, it's
for me Cincinnati, it's like a game that, yes, they
don't really need to win and the loss is not
you know, bad what I wanted them to play, you know,
their full potential, not kind of like waiting. But I
(25:01):
would say, like, could we do almost a similar game
and we have been doing in Orlando at the beginning
of the year, you know, like to be on top
of them and relentless, you know, and classify for everybody.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Like a performance like this, like the team will I
would love to see them do.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
So yeah, I'm thinking about just since and I think
all the guys are probably just focusing on that now
and we are going to just you know, see what's
going to happen that game. But yeah, I'm if I'm
a player, like in a local room, like right now,
you just think about that game and try to get
three points. So then you have like a week to rest,
you can enjoy and then you can really really focus
(25:39):
on Vancouver and long trip.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
And like you say, after Vancouver is going to be a.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Right away open care because they're going to fly right
away from Vancouver to Nashville for the semifinal.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Well, Adam, we got our marching orders. We're not going
to even talk about Vancouver. We're just going to focus
on Cincinnati getting three points, getting a little revenge on
that squad that is stolen everything from an accountant, a coach,
you know, a GM. They they're still they're still the
Ohio Union. You know, let's just face it. But we
definitely need to get the win. I think everybody's an
(26:13):
agreement that that's what we want, even though, like you
guys said, it won't be the end of the world,
but I think we want to win. Adam, you have
any parting thoughts.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Look, this is gonna be the gauntlet right here, and
it's gonna be tough, you know, And this is why
you get the depth that you do, and we can
talk about the merits of making it. Eelski a number
ten winger at this point, I'm as sure what he's
going to be as even though he's new as a forward.
(26:44):
But you know, this is why you have your depth,
This is why you have you know, the personnel that
you have because you're gonna need all hands on deck
for two different competitions and you have to give one
hundred percent in all of them. You know, I would
have liked us to have a little bit more of
a buffer on the shield right now so you can
focus maybe a little bit more on the open Cup
when it comes when that time comes. But you know,
(27:07):
all hands on deck, and let's see if we can
get in the next couple of matches.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yea, I'd like to see the Sullivans both get a
goal each, you know, just to just to put the
icing on the cake. But yeah, I mean, that's what
we're looking for. And I am praying right now to
your American airlines have the Wi Fi working. I'm on
my way to Brazil during this game and I need
to get the connection, so please have the Wi Fi working.
That's all I'm asking for Saba. You have any final
(27:32):
parting words for us?
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Now, I will be according to the game in Cincinnati,
not with Day because of the US Open for tennis,
so with a red dune.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
But you know, I like him. He was a lucky
charm when we went this year to Atlanta and we
got the win. So I'm looking for another win with
him this weekend.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Oh you got Ray done with You're Good's that's a
Temple broadcasting pro right there. So well I will if
the Wi Fi is working, I'm gonna beet tuning in
ninety seven five get the radio feed and watching it
on mute for the Apple TV. So, guys, thanks again

and the U. Everybody out there, thanks for tuning in,
(28:13):
Thanks for interacting with us on the socials, and we

thanks a lot, guys, Go Union
Ex president of the Sons of Ben, Matt Gantastic X
head Capo Adam Booth, ex player and forever a Union
legend Sebastian Latoo. These may be exes, but they're the
experts when it comes to the Philadelphia Union. This is
Exes in the U.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Welcome back, everybody to another exciting week of Exes in
the U. This is actually episode number forty eight again.
I'm Matt Candazak, former President of Sons Ben. I'm joined
by ex head Capitol Adam Booth and of course for
every Union legend Sebastian Latoo. Guys, what a week, Adam?
How you doing?
Speaker 3 (00:41):
I'm good, I'm tired. I love my child.
Speaker 4 (00:45):
He's great.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
But you know, the Union have been happy to me
get through these sleepless nights a little bit better, so
I'm happy about it.
Speaker 2 (00:52):
Yeah, Saba, how about yourself? How was this week?
Speaker 4 (00:54):
As we was great?
Speaker 5 (00:55):
I think a great win, you know, like and I'm saying,
like those full gores good, you know too, pursue into
a beautiful week and he.
Speaker 4 (01:04):
Has been the case.
Speaker 5 (01:04):
So exciting for a match this weekend in Cincinnati and uh,
you know, for another great residents.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
Yeah, and like we said, uh, Seba just did Union Insider,
so he's got some some tips for us about what's
gonna happen with Cincinnati, And of course you are going
out to Cincinnati covering it, so I know you're dialed
in and we'll get into that after we discussed the
happiness that happened in Chester, which was Chicago for nothing,
statement win and a little luck, Miami tide, Columbus loss,
(01:35):
Cincinnati was shut out, San Diego was held scoreless against Portland,
so that means we're back on top of the supporter
shield grace. So guys, Seba, why don't you tell us
about this game? I mean, four goals four different players,
I mean unbelievable. What were your thoughts on the Chicago
and can we can we play Chicago every week?
Speaker 4 (01:57):
Yeah? I think it was a very very good food.
Speaker 5 (02:00):
Performance, you know, like you say, four goals for four
defferent players. I think offensively we're really dialed in, and defensively,
I think we really shut down.
Speaker 4 (02:09):
Chicago offense is one of the best, you know in
the league.
Speaker 5 (02:14):
You know, Andrew Wick with a clean ship where I
think it's very good for his confidence. Knowing that Drey
right now, is you know, having a little injury and
not sure when he will be back. So I think, yeah,
beside maybe I will say in a game like the
post in the second half, then Chicago got, you know,
to maybe get back at one one, I think we
were ready in control of that game. I think like
(02:36):
having especially like Wagner, you know, having a great game
Westfield on the right side, or really helping offensively, you know,
the team with you know, going up and down. It's
it's really like the best of the Union offensively, we
can recreate a lot of things. And and I feel
like two with Els Key commingunity team, I was like
(02:57):
I already say a few times, but I'm a big
fan of how he played, you know, like his his
decision making, his goal was amazing.
Speaker 4 (03:05):
We can see the quality of the players.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
So it's been now a couple of you know games
he has been with the team, and you can see
it's kind of like getting into the system and the
way to play when he plays the number ten or
if he plays a forward.
Speaker 4 (03:20):
But I think it's a great addition to the team.
Speaker 5 (03:23):
So now overall, great reaction after a tough loss in
a Red Bulls we were kind of like hoping to
see a game like that and the deliver. So now
full confidence for this weekend against Cincinnati, like you said,
just lost every result went our way last weekend, So
let's you know, try to make a good result in
(03:46):
Sincey because he could be a big turnaround for the
race or first, you know, the first place in the East,
and of course you know the shield. But I think
right now the focus is just to get the positive results,
so maybe we can this weekend be.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
In the playoff.
Speaker 2 (04:05):
Of course, you know mentioned Ty got a goal. He's
at sixteen goals now, so he's third in the Golden
Boot race. Milan. I mean, it looks like he found
his role with the team and he has two goals
and three appearances. I think with that is that eleven
or twelve for him now in MLS counting his San
Diego So I mean he's looking like he's fitting in. Adam,
(04:28):
what your thoughts on this? For nothing?
Speaker 3 (04:30):
Just beautiful win. Look, this is what we looked for,
you know. Frankly, it was one of these things where
the Union definitely looked dominant in a lot of these games,
but the last putting the game away was just a
difficulty that they were suffering. Through for the better part
of this season, and I think putting together a four
(04:56):
nothing quality match against a team that's actually pretty solid,
you know, Chicago will be in the conversation for some
of those last playoff spots when a come, when the
time comes. So to do that against a team like that,
I think was a really good boost to the morale.
Speaker 4 (05:14):
It was.
Speaker 3 (05:14):
It was a dominating performance. You know, you got Andrew
Rick in there, and it wasn't just the fact that
he was in there. He was making saves. He made
a couple of good wow moments, and at this point
you really shouldn't be shocked by what anything he does
other than the fact that his age, because he has
enough MLS minutes for me to declare him a quality
(05:37):
goal leiade at least for this league standard. And you know,
I feel confident with him between the sticks. This has
nothing to do with how good I believe Andre Blake is,
because I do. I believe if Andre Blake is in
the net, Union have a better chance to win than
lose ninety nine percent of the time. But you know,
the kid has come in, he's done great. To see
four different goal scorers, including Kai Wagner, who does a
(06:01):
lot of setting up for goals for him to give
himself atally as well. It was it was a refreshing result.
It really I think at least washed away some of
the feelings and some of the grime over the last
couple of weeks in terms of the results that have
been gritty to say the least. So I think, you know,
(06:24):
having a team that is at the top, occasionally you
would like to see them exert inflex that dominance. And
they did and it shows a lot of potential. And
you want this team to get hot right now, you know,
you want this to be if Andre has to be out,
let's score six goals a game again, you know, let's
play at high intensity levels offensively, and let's make sure
(06:49):
that everyone kind of sees the ball going to the
net because you're going to need that come playoff time.
I think more times than not, it's not just the starters,
guys coming off the bench making contributions to win new matches.
So the Union flexing their depth and their ability to
play on both sides of the ball was was really
(07:10):
nice to see. And good to see Jack Elliott too.
Speaker 2 (07:15):
It was okay to see him, but anyhow, but Seba
I want to ask you, can you walk us through
that set piece that Kai had. I mean, maybe do
a little play by play on that that That's something
I think Kai said they they practiced a few times,
but I guess they shelved it. But you want to
just go into how how how guys on the field,
We'll talk about that and try to try to incorporate
(07:36):
something that's a pretty cute little set piece.
Speaker 5 (07:40):
Yeah, I think you know in that moment, especially actual
the three of them we are on the board. You know,
he was last key, Wagner and Sivan. It's kind of
a free kick that anybody can hit. It's raining me
doorle options at the end of the day, I would
I like it's you know, as they kind of came
up with who's going to take it, he was not
you know, a fight or anything.
Speaker 4 (08:01):
And you can see what's healthy about this team.
Speaker 5 (08:03):
It's they know their rules, they know what to do,
and they figured out that, Yeah, it could have probably
be better for a car who probably has a you know,
great left foot, and you know, he got really well
played at the perfect timing and at the end, you know,
after say the whole of Chicago really fell apart. He
didn't really stayed together and you know, we find like
(08:25):
a little hole and it was a great strike by
a back guy. But what I feel like about, you know,
this free kick was more about, you know, the discussion
before he was nobody like, hey, I'm taking it, you're
taking it. I've been in those few times and there's
always one or two play. I'm feeling good about it,
and it's kind of a little fight at the end
on this one. I don't think it was anything he was.
(08:46):
We knew who was going to take it, you know,
but in the three of them and had a little
discussion and they got you know, quickly, you know, the
decision about what they were going to do.
Speaker 4 (08:56):
And it was well played because you know they called
that goal. So but big goal is not to be
up to zero because we.
Speaker 5 (09:05):
Are kind of waiting for that for a long time
and being up one zero for a long time and
giving up like goal.
Speaker 4 (09:10):
This one really felt good.
Speaker 5 (09:11):
But yeah, what I what I will say to about
another game and I forgot take about It's what really
marked me to us watching it.
Speaker 4 (09:18):
It's our patient we were you know in our build up.
Speaker 5 (09:22):
Especially like the first goal and something that didn't happen
that game, it's you know, losing those balls in the
middle of the back kind of like forcing the issue
that we have been doing a little bit the past
couple of game. When you know we are getting counter
attack against us, it's something that we didn't do. We
don't try to do the pass you know, right in
the middle where every defense are waiting for. We are
(09:45):
really moving the ball or left to right, right to
left and then you know, go with it. So I
really like like that as well from the team, not
forcing the issue and be comfortable on the ball, especially
when they are all.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah, a great point, and they we've been saying it
all year that they really are playing like a team.
So again, great win, great performance from from everybody, you know,
the coaching staff, and you know, let's let's hope, you know,
we carry this into Cincinnati. Little little union news we
mentioned it. Blake's out for a couple of weeks. I
don't know, does this guy need to start doing some
(10:20):
tai chi or some yoga, adam to get these hamstrings
a little bit stronger. It's just, uh, it's it's a constant.
There's two constants with Blake. You know, he's always he's
great and he's injured. We got some UH international national
team call ups. Tye Dan Le, Jean Jacques and uh
Nate all got caught up to the UH to the
(10:42):
national teams for the international window, and we had some
U seven teams caught up, including CAVN. So congratulations to
those guys. Now, Adam, I have a question for you
in these notes. I think there's something you wanted to
talk about. Can you explain to me pixels?
Speaker 3 (10:57):
Okay, so, and you know, but if you want to
take a nap, that's fine, I understand.
Speaker 4 (11:02):
Now.
Speaker 3 (11:03):
Legitimately, we need to talk about how MLS does not
allow deviation with this Adidas contract. Like, I'm not gonna
be here and sit and talk about the merits of
having a league that has a single sponsor for the
whole league. As an American sports fan, That's how I
grew up, So I'm not really unhurt. It's not unheard of.
(11:23):
But within that that you should allow creativity and difference
to exist. You know, there should be something to be
said about making jerseys that are unique to the teams,
making merchandise and paraphernalia that have GEO tagged, you know,
(11:46):
elements to it. Just make it something that is unique
to the club or the location or whatever. Like I understand,
Adidas is just printing all of these things out and
just putting a new bad on top of it and
just saying, hey, look it's whatever club you root for
his new warm up top. But the reason why Matt
(12:07):
said pixels was this week was the video game E
Sports Top, which I believe is coinciding with FC twenty
six's arrival. And it's just so lazy at this point
and such an obvious cash grab that you make so
many of these warm up tops, and as opposed to
(12:30):
just being like, why don't we get a graphic designer
to come in from each one of these clubs and
add elements to it that makes it unique to their
own city and make it people have more incentive to
buy it. They just make the same thing for the
entire league, and it's just so it's just so lazy,
and it's just so uninspired, and it just it bothers
(12:54):
me because it just reminds you on how corporate all
of this is. I don't try to suspend my belief
in form the Premier League is still in love with
the romantic side of football like it used to be.
You know the fact that Everton doesn't play in Goodess
in Park is one of the greatest examples of that
for me right now. But it does speak to me
(13:18):
that you could try to not seem as like just
a corporate entity as you are when you keep doing
this stuff over and over and over again. Like I
worked for the esports department with the Union. You know
I could have and I'm not saying I needed to be,
but there's several people who could have been like, hey,
(13:39):
we have history in this. We are the most winningest
club in esports history. Like we have our own lounge,
we have all of these elements that make it unique
to us. That would be something where I can see
that selling. But just making the same thing that someone's
going to be wearing in Seattle but with a different badge,
it just it feels so lazy, uninspired, And it's my
(14:02):
little rant, but you know, like I'm just kind of
getting tired of it.
Speaker 2 (14:07):
So will you be buying one of these September sixteenth
when it drops at the show?
Speaker 3 (14:11):
No No, And I, in full disclosure, I got the
last one that came out because I really just liked
the design of it.
Speaker 2 (14:17):
And now I just like whatever, but as well, but yeah,
same thing I do. I do hate Sometimes you see
that kit, like you know, the one we got last
last week or a couple of weeks ago, and you'll
see a redb Bull fan wearing it and you're like, oh,
go you Oh no, that's got a whole different logo
to it.
Speaker 3 (14:31):
You know.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
It's just yeah, because I enjoy seeing people wearing Philadelphia
sports stuffs when I'm traveling, you know, in the airport,
because I can give a go fills, Go Union, go Birds,
you know. But yeah, that that I totally understand the right.
And now we got to make up sure subs a week.
But guys, no, no, no, I didn't snip.
Speaker 5 (14:49):
I didn't snip. I don't want to say something. I
was talking about this, which is funny. A friend of
mine bought you know, the kind of Captain America.
Speaker 4 (14:56):
Do you remember, Yeah, and you went in.
Speaker 5 (15:00):
He went to an away game for whatever, I think
maybe Nashville, and he saw somebody was the same shild
and he was like a great child man, go Union.
And then he saw the Nashville patch on his which
was you know, the same child but defon Tim and
they was like oh and he thought it was just
you know, for a union because of course, you know,
is the city of the degression of independence, and you know,
(15:22):
it was like, oh, it's an American flag, but no.
Speaker 3 (15:25):
It was not.
Speaker 4 (15:25):
So Yeah, if he felt disappointed, for sure, You're speak why.
Speaker 3 (15:29):
Would he not? You know, it's just so it would
just be so easy to just not do that, you
know or whatever.
Speaker 2 (15:36):
Well, as you were talking about MLS being a corporate
chill at him. Let's just go right into it. Lee's Cup.
It was an MLS final for Miami beat Orlando City,
Seattle beat the Galaxy. So we're gonna have Miami versus
Seattle in Seattle this Sunday. If you're absolutely bored and
(15:56):
have nothing else to do, you can tune in to
see if Messi gets another cup for for South Florida.
We'll see. The only other lead news I have was, dude,
Chris Albright pulled a uh not really Ernst Tanner, but
he made some moves. Man, they get Brenner back, and
uh mar, how do you say that last name? Adam Dominica?
Speaker 3 (16:19):
No, no, no, that's all you my friend, go for
it that way.
Speaker 2 (16:22):
But uh yeah, so Cincinnati just came out firing in
the transfer deadline. I mean they are, and who knows
if these guys are gonna be ready for this game.
Maybe that's the and sab, but we'll go right into it.
Do you think Brenner and the guy I can't pronounce
his last name Marzuik? Marzuik? Is that all you say?
Speaker 4 (16:40):
It?
Speaker 3 (16:41):
Breathe?
Speaker 4 (16:43):
I'm not sure. I would have to you know, work
on it before the game on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (16:47):
Yeah, do you think those guys are gonna show up?
Speaker 5 (16:50):
I mean they might, but I feel like, you know,
when you have a team on Cincinnati, will you get
you know, two of those guys who are supposed now
maybe to become a starter for them, does he move
a little bit?
Speaker 4 (17:03):
Like the chemistry in this group?
Speaker 5 (17:07):
They just you know, signed those guys and they lost,
you know, at home against New York City FC. So
I feel like they are now chasing a little bit
and they need to, you know, get some goals and
some offense out of them. So it takes you know,
time to get guys back, you know, to like the
chemistry of a team who has been doing great for
(17:27):
the benning of the season. So I hope they are
not ready. I hope they still need to figure out
the system and everything, and hopefully the Union take advantage
of that.
Speaker 2 (17:37):
Yeah, and we're going to talk about it away. Cincinnati
seventh said one o loss to New York City. They've
lost two of three since their their League's Cup exit.
They've taken ten points from their last seven ammal scheme.
So not haven't been performing the way Cincinnati we think
they are, But they have a four game stretch. They're
(17:58):
getting us, Nashville and Orlando. I mean, so they have
a similar gauntlet that we're running through as well, because
we've got Cincinnati and then Vancouver. So Saba, I mean,
you've you've done some studying already on this. What do
you think about the Cincinnati game? You know, where's what
should we look for to hope that the Union get
(18:20):
a result in Cincinnati?
Speaker 5 (18:23):
I mean, I feel we're gonna look for a battle,
you know, and for like some guys not fighting for
every board, you know, since he's now in the chasing seats,
we are like in first, so a wain would be fantastic,
and I think the loss they had last week to
New York City Elcy show them that it's possible. But
you need to be for sure, discipline defensively, you know
(18:46):
they're going to try to come hard on on the Union,
but we can beat them. It's definitely a tough stadium,
but I think we are a you know, in a
great position.
Speaker 4 (18:56):
Being still first in front of them, since in pretty
much to make the game.
Speaker 5 (19:01):
And I really really hope, like with the week of preparasion,
being on a you know, a good mental space, with
like the winn against Chicago, we can kind of keep
something on that and get another busy roup because if we,
let's say, beat Cincinnati, which I think it's possible, you
put them in a now five points and then you
(19:25):
go to Vancouver, which is another tough game and another
tough road. But like you said, Cincinnati play in Nashville
and it's big, you know, it's like the number two
playing number three, So it could be you know, some
points we can win as well in that and you
can see a big maybe.
Speaker 4 (19:40):
Margin after the Vancouver game.
Speaker 5 (19:42):
So I'm really looking for, well, of course, one game
all the time again since it's not gonna be easy
and come you know at the Union. It feels like
almost like a like a final of the East maybe.
But what I like about the fact that we have
two tough games away. I said that in a show today.
You can really like brings the team together, you know,
(20:02):
being away. You don't play at home in the month.
And if you get you know, like the team together
like they've been doing it from the beginning, it could
be huge enough for the rest of the season in
the playoffs.
Speaker 2 (20:14):
Yeah, and I want to just mention one thing that
you said about it, and then I'll get into Adam.
That stadium is tough. But the toughest thing about that stadium,
guys is trying to go to the bathroom because they
have like all these bathrooms but literally two stalls, Like
it's impossible. You wait in line. I'm never in a
stadium in my life waited longer in line. So that's
my ran against Cincinnati. Do better with that nice stadium, Adam,
(20:36):
your faults on Cincinnati ifc.
Speaker 3 (20:39):
Look, this is going to start a stretch that is
going to be tough for the Union, obviously, especially playing
on the road a lot of these matches. But Cincinnati
hasn't playing i would say mediocre at best at home recently.
Their last win was a July sixteenth at home. They've
(21:00):
lost I believe four matches in a row at TQL Stadium.
So it's been tough. It's been tough for Cincinnati as
of late, and this is probably why all Bright and
then have brought up the firepower that is necessary that
they're trying to, you know, chase the Union with. Right now,
this game doesn't is a very I mean, it's monumental
(21:22):
obviously because either way it does make a giant shift
in the standings, but ultimately, if you look at it objectively,
you know, if I'm going to sell it to you,
I'm going to say this is for the Eastern Conference.
You know, if I'm going to be a broadcaster, not SEBA,
but if I'm going to be a broadcaster on a
third party and I'm trying to sell it to a neutral,
I'm going to say this is for the East. As
(21:44):
a person who's a Union fan, I know, ultimately Union
win or tie is gangbusters for the Union. The Union
loss doesn't sink them. And because really what you said
is true about Cincinnati's gauntlet towards the end of the
season themselves that they have to go through, and if
the Union figure out a way to win this game,
(22:06):
then you're five points up and that's going to be tough,
especially if they can find a way to get result
against Nashville, then you really posh start to season separation
with them at the top, frankly, separation that they maybe
should have already had. But that's another conversation. But what's
real about this is for Cincinnati, this is pretty much
(22:27):
a win or this is going to be really difficult
to climb them out in situation for them. So I
look at it where this is not Union play with
house money. You want to go in there and you
want to smash them. You want to do the best
you can to win. You want to play like you
are the desperate team. But realistically, you know it's not
going to ruin the Union to not get a result here,
(22:50):
but it will definitely boost them in a positive direction
and go for the supporter shield moving forward. And it's
a winnable game. You know, if you look at Theincinnati
all this season, they've won a lot of games, but
they've never really looked but so dominant in a handful
of them. They have a plus seven goal differential at
(23:10):
this point in the season, where in comparison, I believe
the Union have a plus fifteen. And it's just you
don't a team that's that high up, but it's still
not winning games in decisive margins. You know, it something
to the least look at. And I don't know if
Cincinnati is quote worrying about that, but their offensive production
(23:32):
has not been there, and I think that something that
the Union can definitely take advantage of.
Speaker 2 (23:38):
Yeah, the thing is, I know we've been focused for
going Cincinnati then Vancouver, but there's some time in between.
They've got like a week's breaks. There's time to so
we should be all in. I mean, Bradley's got to
push all the chips in just to get the get
a good result. And why I say a good result,
I want three points out of Cincinnati and then again
September thirteenth is Vancouver and then open Cup against Nashville.
(24:02):
That's a tighter window. So if you guys just a
real brief, you know, let's take a look at Vancouver
and then we can kind of call it a day
and get ready for the Cincinnati game. But Saba, what
are you thinking about Vancouver. I mean, they're gonna be
well rested. I think they're gonna have three week break
or something for some reason, and they're five points back
of the Union. Four points behind San Diego, but they've
(24:24):
got a game in hand. So I mean, this Vancouver
game is important for them for you know, the Western
Conference and the shield and playoff standings and any thoughts
on on Vancouver and they're there addition of a German superstar.
Speaker 4 (24:38):
Yeah, I mean it is important.
Speaker 5 (24:39):
But I'm gonna give you a Bradley count and and
I think the only focus right now, I see there
is so much time, you know between those two games.
I'm really thinking about Cincinnati. But like Adam said, it's
for me Cincinnati, it's like a game that, yes, they
don't really need to win and the loss is not
you know, bad what I wanted them to play, you know,
their full potential, not kind of like waiting. But I
(25:01):
would say, like, could we do almost a similar game
and we have been doing in Orlando at the beginning
of the year, you know, like to be on top
of them and relentless, you know, and classify for everybody.
Speaker 4 (25:12):
Like a performance like this, like the team will I
would love to see them do.
Speaker 5 (25:16):
So yeah, I'm thinking about just since and I think
all the guys are probably just focusing on that now
and we are going to just you know, see what's
going to happen that game. But yeah, I'm if I'm
a player, like in a local room, like right now,
you just think about that game and try to get
three points. So then you have like a week to rest,
you can enjoy and then you can really really focus
(25:39):
on Vancouver and long trip.
Speaker 4 (25:41):
And like you say, after Vancouver is going to be a.
Speaker 5 (25:43):
Right away open care because they're going to fly right
away from Vancouver to Nashville for the semifinal.
Speaker 2 (25:49):
Well, Adam, we got our marching orders. We're not going
to even talk about Vancouver. We're just going to focus
on Cincinnati getting three points, getting a little revenge on
that squad that is stolen everything from an accountant, a coach,
you know, a GM. They they're still they're still the
Ohio Union. You know, let's just face it. But we
definitely need to get the win. I think everybody's an
(26:13):
agreement that that's what we want, even though, like you
guys said, it won't be the end of the world,
but I think we want to win. Adam, you have
any parting thoughts.
Speaker 3 (26:21):
Look, this is gonna be the gauntlet right here, and
it's gonna be tough, you know, And this is why
you get the depth that you do, and we can
talk about the merits of making it. Eelski a number
ten winger at this point, I'm as sure what he's
going to be as even though he's new as a forward.
(26:44):
But you know, this is why you have your depth,
This is why you have you know, the personnel that
you have because you're gonna need all hands on deck
for two different competitions and you have to give one
hundred percent in all of them. You know, I would
have liked us to have a little bit more of
a buffer on the shield right now so you can
focus maybe a little bit more on the open Cup
when it comes when that time comes. But you know,
(27:07):
all hands on deck, and let's see if we can
get in the next couple of matches.
Speaker 2 (27:11):
Yea, I'd like to see the Sullivans both get a
goal each, you know, just to just to put the
icing on the cake. But yeah, I mean, that's what
we're looking for. And I am praying right now to
your American airlines have the Wi Fi working. I'm on
my way to Brazil during this game and I need
to get the connection, so please have the Wi Fi working.
That's all I'm asking for Saba. You have any final
(27:32):
parting words for us?
Speaker 5 (27:35):
Now, I will be according to the game in Cincinnati,
not with Day because of the US Open for tennis,
so with a red dune.
Speaker 4 (27:42):
But you know, I like him. He was a lucky
charm when we went this year to Atlanta and we
got the win. So I'm looking for another win with
him this weekend.
Speaker 2 (27:51):
Oh you got Ray done with You're Good's that's a
Temple broadcasting pro right there. So well I will if
the Wi Fi is working, I'm gonna beet tuning in
ninety seven five get the radio feed and watching it
on mute for the Apple TV. So, guys, thanks again
for joining. This was episode number forty eight of X's
and the U. Everybody out there, thanks for tuning in,
(28:13):
Thanks for interacting with us on the socials, and we
hope to see you soon at suber U Park. Adam Seba,
thanks a lot, guys, Go Union
