Speaker 1 (00:00):
Ex president of the Sons of Ben, Matt Gantastic ax
had Capo, Adam Booth, ex player, and forever a Union legend,
Sebastian Latou. 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 Wow. What a week in Union
soccer history. I'm coming live from Germany because the Union's
play has driven me right to the Bavarian beer halls
so I can get over some of this again. I'm
Matt and Dazak, former president of the Sons of Ben,
(00:41):
and I'm joined with a former ex Kapo, Adam Booth
and of course forever legend Sebastian la Two gentlemen, how
are you coping with this past four days of Union soccer?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
I just want to move on be Saturday right now,
so hopefully we forget about it.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Adam, have you remembered any of us? Oh? I would
remember all this for the rest of my life. Unfortunately
the same way I remember the two thousand and two
mls Cup of an intruciating detail. But I believe a
palette cleanser is coming Saturday, so that'll that'll help me.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Out a lot, boy, do we hope? So yeah, so
let's let's let's get dive into it. We were at
Vancouver and let's just say Brian White, Sabastian Burholter, Tristan Blackman,
Thomas Mueller, they just kind of had their way with
the Union with what I have to say is an
epic delta ass beating, you know, to take an Eagles term.
(01:40):
They they whooped us a weird starting lineup and you know, Sebah,
you you watch this game, what did you do you
think Bradley was just like, hey, let's save up everybody
for the US Open Cup or what did you make
of that lineup? I mean, he's done it before, but
it just didn't seem like the strongest option that we had.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, I mean, he was for sure not maybe the
full starting in eleven, but we know he did it before,
you know, this season and he worked pretty well, so
I guess he was his mentality to kind of get
into that game knowing that, Yeah, with the travel and
like you said, Open Cup, you know, coming out right
after to try to rest some leg playing on turf,
and you know, we talk about it like we came
(02:22):
back on a good win in Cincinnati, which was a huge,
you know thing to give a little caution to the team.
So I think he just took it that way and try,
you know, something you had been doing or season. But
the only thing at that time he kind of bie
us in a butt and you know, we are not
as good as a game that we kind of mixed
(02:43):
up the starter and the person coming from the bench.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And I mean also Vancouver, I thought all the rest
that they had they might be rusty, you know, when
you're not playing as much. But man, they came out
firing Adam your thoughts on seven mil I don't even
know how to say that, Like is there a Spanish
word for that, like don't see Sarah, or you know,
like a Canadian word.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
For We've done this to other clubs before, so I
guess eventually get your taste of your own medicine, you know,
hello DC United. But I think one of the things
about this particular game was, and you know, hand up,
I was the first person to say, rotate a squad,
you know, make sure that you have the best legs
(03:28):
that you have going into Nashville, because frankly, for me
across the board, that game was infinitely more significant than
this game against Vancouver, mainly just because the cushion that
you have in the Eastern Conference right now, it's not
a lot, but it is enough, especially with you owning
the tiebreaker now against Cincinnati, that you can afford to
(03:54):
possibly not throw a game, but not give the best effort,
just to you know, possibly try to go for the
US Open Cup. That was my philosophy and the get go,
and once I saw the lineup, I kind of felt
that that's what they were going for. Look, I think
also seven nothing happens in a vacuum sometimes, you know,
(04:14):
I don't think you know, it doesn't happen often. But
I think if we look at the number straight up
and be just like, man, that's ridiculous. But if you
look at well, hero is a penalty, and this was
a penalty, and this was like it just it came
to a point where you're like, yeah, Nathan, you have
a right back playing center back and all of these
things going, and you have a man who should who
(04:34):
I think we know at this point has no business
playing right back playing right back. It just wasn't necessarily
saying we put out the best union possible and got schlacked.
We put out a rotation squad, which is similar to
how I would probably pay FIFA in twenty twelve, trying
to just figure if I can place somebody in a hole,
(04:55):
like you know, putting Aaron Wheeler at center back, you
know that kind of thing, just trying to figure something
and didn't work. It was It was a disaster. Class
I know a couple of people who were Muller fans
who were all happy for him succeeding at the highest level,
but beyond that, you know, that was a burned the
tape game in every conceivable way. It was so bad
(05:17):
that I didn't even want to dwell on it because
it was just like, well, what are you going to
learn from that? Not a thing? You know, that was
just a disaster. Disasters happen, you know. Sometimes you lose
by forty in basketball, it happens.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, And historically the Union have never lost by more
than four goals in MS play until that game, and
I think the worst was maybe six nothing against the
Mexican team in League's cupp or one of those competitions.
So yeah, that doesn't happen, you know, in the history
of the club, And holy crap, Bradley was just you
(05:52):
know his quote, they exposed and exploited us. Today, we
lost the battle, the war, the fight the sun rises
against and we move on and they move on to Nashville.
And that wasn't very good either, because Nashville takes the
third win in three games this year. I mean I
(06:13):
was calling it the double revenge game. But now, holy crap.
I mean, Nashville beats us. What march They've ruined me
in Sebastian July fourth weekend, we're traveling, and now they
took away the US Open Cup.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
I mean, just stop, unbelievable. Just stop talking to Nashville
all your revenge games. Stopped labeling any games against Nashville anything,
They're just just stop. I don't I don't believe in
jinks Is, but man, the evidence is piling up at
this point.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, Subba, your thoughts on Nashville. I mean, I know
you probably touched on it on the on the TV
shows today. Your thoughts on that US Opening Cup game,
because I mean, people can blame like bad refereeing, but
it just wasn't good anywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
No. I mean, definitely, we are liking a lot of offense.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
You know, we don't have a shot on target barely,
you know, try to make the goal keeper we never
play again for we'll make a same and he was
kind of a bit shaky, and I guess on most
of the first goal is where we score with Queen
Sulvan coming in on in the second half, so now
he was, Yeah, a little bit lack of offense. You can
see the guys kind of like playing a bit too fast,
(07:18):
like one shot to combine and stuff, you know, taking
their time.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I thought we, you know, we could do better or
like as.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well defensively, I really just like we we kind of
fell asleep on a long throw, you know, give the lead.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Nothing a lot happened before that.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
And and yeah, like you said, I think the second
goal is very unfortunate because I don't think it's a
foul on Cabag there. And you can see like the
frustration a lot about the guys starting with you know,
Damiani getting early yellow and kind of already you can
see like the frustration starting from the team. And then
you could kind of like change that a little bit,
like let's not focus about the referees they are going
to be with there sometimes go your way, but knowing
(07:57):
that you know, you're the union, you play away, you're
first in the league. Referee once usually you know, it's
kind of advantage maybe sometimes like and the dog, and
it's what everybody is right now because we are still
first in the East. So yeah, I would say, can
we see less frustration and more like like energy into
(08:20):
the game to try to win it back, stay together,
like more positive than just to try to you know,
like you said, point the finger at all the stuff
happening around us, which some you can control but some
you can't, especially like this Farley was not a fol
and the second goal happened, I thought, like the momentum
in second half when Queen came on.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Was good.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
The goal, you know, and then we have maybe one or.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Two chants you know who are like miss you know
the two two, and of course at the end like
Surage class. You know, right now the guy is working
on clouds whatever he touched in the back of the net.
So then you're already before the game that he was
of course that guy and mooked out to watch, but
especially Sarage and he puts straight in the back of
the net. So if you look on like I defensively
(09:03):
we let him. You know, we let him score on
us and he was kind of the thing. So we
need to be better defensively on the guys we know
who are like the best, and I think offensively too.
Like it's overall, you know, I feel like we need
to just raise a bar and I think, yeah, it's
a good wake up call to finish the season and
kind of say, hey, we are still first, but you
(09:23):
need to put back the work that the guy' been
doing from the beginning of the year, and I think
they will on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, this was a rough to say the least two games,
but like you said, because of a little luck with
the other MLS teams, we're still in first place. We're
still on first for the Supporter Shield. So it's not
like jump off the bandwagon go crazy yet. But they
need a wake up call and the offense needs a
(09:50):
kick in the ass, is what I think, Adam. You
thoughts on Nashville and then just general how we get
through going to the rest of the year. We'll get
into the upcoming game, but you know your thoughts, what
do we need to do after seeing this Nashville game
and even the Vancouver game, Like, what does the Union
need to do to make sure we salvage the season
since we still are in first place.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Yeah, I feel like the word salvage is a little
harsh there. I still think when you're in like you're
really in control of your own destiny for at least
one trophy this year, if not putting yourself in a
prime position for two, first and foremost. I think when
I was talking to a couple of my friends before
the game, I was like, this is going to be
the toughest test I think for the rest of the
season for the Union. I do believe Charlotte is also
(10:35):
going to be difficult, but depending on that point in
the season, you hope that game matters a lot less
than it does now. But I always I thought away
at Nashville was going to be the toughest test for
the rest of this season, and because look, the fact
of the matter is Nashville is in the top three
for a reason. They've been one of the best teams
(10:55):
in the Eastern Conference all year long. Surge is on fire.
He's probably gonna win the Golden Boot ahead of Lionel Messi,
which I don't think if you asked Sam Surgeon when
he was a child, if that was gonna be a
possibility for him to be in the same league as
Messy and for him to outscore Messy. But he's in
that position right now. That game was winnable, that game
(11:16):
was least tieable, and you you had opportunities. Yeah, that
was not a foul, but you know again that life come,
Life comes at you fast, and the Eagles were not eagles.
Fall started against the Kansasy Chiefs and we're not gonna
call that. You know, comes at you fast. So I'm like, look,
that game is tough, but I did not go into
it with the utmost confidence and what and had nothing
(11:36):
to do with Vancouver. I just think that type of
a game, especially a semi final with a club like
Nashville who is definitely hungry for silverware as much as
the Union are, that's tough. That's a tough win. That's
a tough place to go into and try to win.
And so I don't I don't blame so much of
it on the Union per se as and just being
(11:57):
bad as much as you know, National is very good,
but you have to stop the amount of shots on
goal you've given up between Vancouver and Nashville. You gave
up thirty shots total and twenty of them on target.
That's insane for a two game stretch to have that
many shots on target. And it just seems for a
(12:20):
keeper like Andrew Rick, who again I think he's very good.
I think he's very capable, but that is a lot
of you know, targeting from guys like I don't know,
Thomas Mueller and you know, say have Surage and some
of the best strikers in MLS and probably some of
the best strikers on the planet. Like he's not getting
these shots from the third striker on Austin right now.
(12:41):
So that being said, I think you have to figure
out a way to stop getting many shots on you.
And I think it has to become the defensive midfield
as much it is as a center backing issue. Look,
you lack depth at center back, and it's very obvious
at this point. And we've talked to the people who
(13:02):
run this club and they said that they tried very
hard to get some depth that center back and it
just didn't get over the line. But now it's pretty
glaring your lack of depth at that position. You have
enough strikers, you know, to rotate for two different squads.
The problem is if you don't have enough people in
the back end to get the ball to the in
the possession and make sure that the other guys are
(13:23):
not outscoring you. It doesn't matter if you've spent all
the money on the top flight of your strikers, because
it does Bruno or you're a or these guys are
just not going to get the ball anyway. I think
you're still in a good position to win the Supporter
Shield in my eyes. You know, you have a favorable
schedule down the stretch. You still have a team like
(13:44):
New England that you've been very successful against recently. You
have a team like DC that you've been very successful
against recently. You have a team like New York where
you don't know where they're going to be, but that's
a very winnable game as well. So I think you
are in a position to win the Shield and it
shouldn't matter so much that this little stretch and this
blip happened. Same reason why. Look, the Mets swept the
(14:05):
Phillies Phillies and then the Phillies won the division before
anyone else. Bad stretches happen. I just think if there
are concerns and there are things about the union that
have been exposed. These are the things that need to
be addressed in this next transfer window. You have to
figure out what your center back depth is and you
(14:26):
have to live in the universe where Alijndobadoya never plays
right back again.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah, and speaking of you know, future and I don't know, sadness,
maybe just food for thought. This might be the last
US Open Cup that we play in for the next
two or three years. But that's thinking because next year
we're definitely playing the League's Cup the way it's set up,
so we may not have a shot at the US
Open Cup for and who knows when you want that,
(14:54):
because that means you're having a big year to do
that unless US Soccer and MLS come up with So
this might be the last time we go deep into
the US Open Cup for the near future, because hopefully
the futures break for the team. So let's just food
for thought.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
You know, it's so weird. That's just such a weird
Sorry to answerrupt, but that's just a weird concept of
the more successful you are, you're just now eliminated from
another company. Like it's like, I know, it's like the
conference league, but like, but it's not set up that way.
Like you were going to tell me that the Champions
League and then the Europa League and then the Conference
(15:30):
League was set up that way where it was like
League's Cup then US Open Cup. But that's not how
it's set up. They're all equal championships. So like, this
is why, that's what frustrates me about it is it's
just the whole structure of this in the first place
makes zero sense. You know, even if we did win
this US Open Cup, we didn't play half of Major
(15:51):
League Soccer. It wasn't even an option for US. You know.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
The conspiracy theory says, so seboking total to that goal
scoring record, and that's it.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
I'm fine with that.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, so congratulations, long lived that record.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
So let's let's talk a little bit about the US
men's national team. One big news, big big news. They're
coming to the Subaru Park November fifteenth. Riverends pretty much
sold out. I didn't get on it. I gotta figure
out what I'm doing. But they're gonna play Paraguay, you know,
and bomby November, so that'll be good. And Adam the
(16:27):
crisis has averted the USA beach Japan to zero. How
do you and now you spent your honeymoon in Japan,
how do you say del Cicero in Japanese?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
My wife was the one who actually took the duel
Ingo Japanese courses. I was too busy trying to get
my Italians's and ship. This now not an option for
me for another reasons. But anyway, Yeah, I mean, look,
do I feel slightly better about the US national team?
Absolutely not. Why would I. I mean, that's a good
win though it is a good win. Japan's a good
squad historically, has been a great time to say. Blue
(17:01):
have been one of the best teams in Asia for
a while, and I think to get your get back,
that's a good win, all right. Like I'm not gonna
I can't poo poo every time we compete, especially if
they do something. Okay, we kind of have to do
this off of our own soil eventually, right, Like I
(17:21):
know the whole I know the World Cup is in America,
so technically know, But like I think, bringing everyone to
our country and only occasionally beating these guys is getting
a little weird for me, you know, Like I feel
and I feel like we get more tested if we
left soil. I don't know. I'm not sure what the
protocol is for our host nation when they're about to
(17:42):
have a World Cup. Just do they never leave their
country again after that? I don't know, but that it
is weird right now.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Well, the weird thing is the rosters. You know, the
next camp it starts October sixth, So roster's got to
come in. We got to figure out what cons is
gonna do. And the only comfort I have is I'm
waiting for Seba to tell us a story about the
nineteen ninety eight French team and correlate that to the
US team so we feel better about this squad.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Yeah, you would wait for next year, you know, we
plenty of time left. Just enjoys the waiting against Japan
and enjoys the game at home, you know, as a
concoursion cooking from Adam right now, he's trying to find,
like anything he can to dislike his national team.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah. And speaking of the national team and World Cup,
tickets were made available via lottery for visa cardholders.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
I haven't seen anything.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I'm signed up for it. I haven't gotten any info.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I don't know anybody that's gotten a ticket yet, but
apparently tickets are going out for the World Cup, so
keep signing up the FIFA dot com and all that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Now in news, the.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
New England Revolution have parted ways with their head coach
Kalip Porter. And you know who they're talking to, Adam,
have you heard this rumor? Jim Jim Jim jimmyth curtain,
the one James Curtain, one James t curtain from Star
Trek thing. So yeah, that's uh, that's the rumor that
(19:14):
Jim's talking to them. And I gotta say, that's a fire.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
That's like a dumpster fire.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
If I'm Jim, I'm like, no, I go to Kansas
City before I go to New England.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
So, but your thoughts on Jim going to New.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
England, I mean, he could be a good fit for him.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
He can turn this thing around and always been pretty
much a shoot show over there for a couple of season. Now,
you know, they have pretty much nothing to play, you know,
even if they're still technically in a playoff possibility, but
if we after sorry, after we beat them this weekend,
they're gonna be out of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
So it could be like.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Good three or four game for him to see what's
going on and want to build a you know, for
next year. But yeah, I mean he knows the area,
you know, the club, they have a stadium coming.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I'll get out of here, come on, no way.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
But yeah, I mean it's definitely like a club who
you know, spend money on their coach and anything. So
if he was saying about that, because he was a
saying that we didn't spend much money here anymore, so
he could maybe get to roast he once.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Well, hopefully he gets some of that Bill Bellicheck money.
You know, just get the bag gym get the bag.
But speaking of New England, Adam, do you want to
lead us off? I mean, you got New England this weekend? Baby,
Come on, this is this is who we needed to play?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Oh we this is this. I really hope this is
a palate cleanser for us after the last couple of matches,
and I think, especially at home, I think it has
the potential of being one. Here's the thing, and this
is really what I need to point out. Uh, that's
one of I think one of the worst jobs in
MLS right now. And the reason why I believe it's
one of the worst jobs in MLS. Is I just
(21:00):
you get to a point where you look at a
club and you don't really know what the direction of
them is, you know. And I'm not sure if you
notice this as a as a player SEBA when you're
playing against some of the these kind of rudderless clubs
that kind of have these roster can configurations and just
random sign inches and all of that. Like I look
(21:21):
at New England as all of the potential in the universe,
yet I just don't know if the people at the
top would you know, work well enough with Jim to
get them into a position like that. And I think
Jim's does he really want to do another project? Like
he's established himself as a good enough manager to not
require to build something from scratch, you know, Like I
(21:42):
feel like he is is good enough to wait for
something more lucrative to show up, because there could be
like the La Galaxy gig coming up in a couple
of years that they finally give that up much more
they have their like they that seems like a much
more profitable idea, or there's a lot of other moments.
I just I like the idea of Jim getting another
(22:04):
shot in MLS because he deserves it obviously, but just
New England just feels like such a like after a
man who is being sought after by a club like
Cincinnati for him to go to New England, which just
feels such like a letdown for his potential as a manager.
But for a preview of the match, yeah, look, I
think the Union have a get back game here coming,
you know. I think this is a classic opportunity now
(22:28):
after you know, okay, cool pressure is off now from
the US Open Cup. You don't have to worry about
traveling to Minnesota or Austin for a final in a
couple of weeks and rotating rosters again. You can just
focus on accumulating as many points as possible to maintain
your lead and win a trophy if they're I don't
(22:48):
know if these guys are gonna dwell too much on
since Nashville. I hope they haven't, and I hope if
they if they can use it as fuel at worse,
but completely forget about it at best and take it
and take it to New England. I think this is
an opportunity to again flex why you are and have
been one of the best teams in Major League Soccer
(23:08):
this whole year. You know, we keep saying, you know,
everything from here is almost gangbusters from what the expectations
of this club was. But now the expectations have shifted.
You've proven that you're good enough, so now stop the
inferior and keep it moving.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, New England's sitting at eleventh place, thirty two points, subbah.
I mean, what's the what's your what's your scouting report
on New England? And what do we need to do
to make sure we get the three points and come
out and get the bad taste out of our mouth.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
I think that justin to focus on the himself, you know,
forget about who he is where, you know, just brings
this game like it's a you know, a playoff game,
you know, brings the energy and everything to take out
of himself. I think New England don't play so much
as the guy's up pretty much playing follows our job
next year.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Whoever is a head coach, gim or.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Somebody else to show that they can have a part
of of this team next year, because a lot of
change will happen in this team for sure. And yeah,
it's don't don't play as well, I say in the
show today is like, don't play at the level of
the of the open, you know, raise the bar, don't
hang to a one year old lead. You know, let's
just keep going and you know, make it like a
(24:18):
good comeback after a poor week and you know, attack
the last four game of the season like the strong way,
because yeah, I think we play DC in DC with
you know, a game we need to win as well.
You know, they have nothing to play for, so it
will be kind of almost the same type of game,
but one away and one at home, and then you.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Have New York City FC at home.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
We will feel more like a playoff game because they
are in a playoff right now, and then shutout at
the end. So can we go to Charlotte and be
in front and you know like having a bit of
cashion or do we have to go there and you know,
try to get a win on the last game and
he will really feel like a playoff game, which is
what I like. At the end, it's like you go
to Charlotte or feeling that a big playoff game before
(25:01):
the playoff. But New England is like it's a it's
a win, it's a three points. You don't have the
three points. It's a it's a disappointment.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, and you touched on the schedule, it's it's New England,
it's DC, you're looking at six points there, then it's
New York City and then Charlotte, who's sitting third. So yeah,
I think we definitely want to bank on getting you know,
three points out of out.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Of yeah, and maybe the win this weekend.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
I will have to look again under standing, but could
almost or be close to get like a home advantage
playoff game as well, which I think it's like always
the first ability for a body counter and like the
way it has been working, and.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
I saw it a bit.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
It's like, you know, it gives go to the team,
and they have kind of always like a stretch of
you know, four or five games, and I think they
are probably going to those far off like those four
last game and like, okay, what do we want to accomplish?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
How many points we want to get?
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Let's get you know, first objective is you know, playoff.
We've got the playoff, now can we have a home advantage?
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Boom?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
And I to go to the home Saturday and then
it's like all right, the last one is window shift,
you know, and he's the highest in this ending. So
uh yeah, I like that game against in England because
you can already bring them back momentum as the.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Team totally a great I mean, we got two rough games.
Now we've got two that we should handle our business,
and then we're going to see about New York City
and Charlotte end this year. And I mean weather for
this Saturday, it looks beautiful. So what you're calling this game, right, Adam?
You think you're going to be able to make it there?
Speaker 5 (26:32):
I do not. It was been I tried really hard,
but I think now that I'm gently concussed, it's probably
better if I just chill out here for a while,
especially with like the importance of these games. You know
how I go harder than your average, so I think
protect myself here.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But I'm going to try to sneak this game on
my phone when I'm in the VS in tents, so
we're going to see what happens. But yeah, hopefully we
do what we're supposed to do and we win this
game against New England and we end the season strong
and come out with some hardware. Guys, anything else that
you can think of before we wrap this up.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Yes, just reminding every fans that as the game is
at two City PM and not seven city, so defil
want you know kickoff time as well, which you know
I can maybe change a little bit and the way
you prepare, but for all the fans gets there early.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
You know it'll be fun.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
It's a great to bring the kids at that game
and hopefully we see you knows a great win.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
See I was gonna say it was great for some
Saturday day drinking, but now you're bringing the kids involved,
you know, I mean, you know, I'm a.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
It's changed by you saying kids were coming. I'm still
day drinking. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Well, everybody, get get the day drinking on. Make sure
super U Park is a fortress, make New England feel unwelcome,
because you know that's what we gotta do to win this. Gentlemen,
thank you so much. By the way, guys, congrats, this
was episode number five zero. We're getting an AARP card
(28:03):
for this for this pot now.
Speaker 5 (28:06):
Yeah that's funny.
Speaker 2 (28:08):
So everybody, thanks again for tuning in. Seba Adam, thanks
for being part of this.
Speaker 5 (28:13):
This was exsiting you.
Speaker 2 (28:14):
Episode number five zero in the books, Let's Go to Union,

Welcome back everybody to Wow. What a week in Union
soccer history. I'm coming live from Germany because the Union's
play has driven me right to the Bavarian beer halls
so I can get over some of this again. I'm
Matt and Dazak, former president of the Sons of Ben,
(00:41):
and I'm joined with a former ex Kapo, Adam Booth
and of course forever legend Sebastian la Two gentlemen, how
are you coping with this past four days of Union soccer?
Speaker 3 (00:55):
Yeah?
Speaker 4 (00:55):
I just want to move on be Saturday right now,
so hopefully we forget about it.
Speaker 5 (01:01):
Adam, have you remembered any of us? Oh? I would
remember all this for the rest of my life. Unfortunately
the same way I remember the two thousand and two
mls Cup of an intruciating detail. But I believe a
palette cleanser is coming Saturday, so that'll that'll help me.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Out a lot, boy, do we hope? So yeah, so
let's let's let's get dive into it. We were at
Vancouver and let's just say Brian White, Sabastian Burholter, Tristan Blackman,
Thomas Mueller, they just kind of had their way with
the Union with what I have to say is an
epic delta ass beating, you know, to take an Eagles term.
(01:40):
They they whooped us a weird starting lineup and you know, Sebah,
you you watch this game, what did you do you
think Bradley was just like, hey, let's save up everybody
for the US Open Cup or what did you make
of that lineup? I mean, he's done it before, but
it just didn't seem like the strongest option that we had.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, I mean, he was for sure not maybe the
full starting in eleven, but we know he did it before,
you know, this season and he worked pretty well, so
I guess he was his mentality to kind of get
into that game knowing that, Yeah, with the travel and
like you said, Open Cup, you know, coming out right
after to try to rest some leg playing on turf,
and you know, we talk about it like we came
(02:22):
back on a good win in Cincinnati, which was a huge,
you know thing to give a little caution to the team.
So I think he just took it that way and try,
you know, something you had been doing or season. But
the only thing at that time he kind of bie
us in a butt and you know, we are not
as good as a game that we kind of mixed
(02:43):
up the starter and the person coming from the bench.
Speaker 5 (02:47):
Yeah, definitely.
Speaker 2 (02:48):
And I mean also Vancouver, I thought all the rest
that they had they might be rusty, you know, when
you're not playing as much. But man, they came out
firing Adam your thoughts on seven mil I don't even
know how to say that, Like is there a Spanish
word for that, like don't see Sarah, or you know,
like a Canadian word.
Speaker 5 (03:07):
For We've done this to other clubs before, so I
guess eventually get your taste of your own medicine, you know,
hello DC United. But I think one of the things
about this particular game was, and you know, hand up,
I was the first person to say, rotate a squad,
you know, make sure that you have the best legs
(03:28):
that you have going into Nashville, because frankly, for me
across the board, that game was infinitely more significant than
this game against Vancouver, mainly just because the cushion that
you have in the Eastern Conference right now, it's not
a lot, but it is enough, especially with you owning
the tiebreaker now against Cincinnati, that you can afford to
(03:54):
possibly not throw a game, but not give the best effort,
just to you know, possibly try to go for the
US Open Cup. That was my philosophy and the get go,
and once I saw the lineup, I kind of felt
that that's what they were going for. Look, I think
also seven nothing happens in a vacuum sometimes, you know,
(04:14):
I don't think you know, it doesn't happen often. But
I think if we look at the number straight up
and be just like, man, that's ridiculous. But if you
look at well, hero is a penalty, and this was
a penalty, and this was like it just it came
to a point where you're like, yeah, Nathan, you have
a right back playing center back and all of these
things going, and you have a man who should who
(04:34):
I think we know at this point has no business
playing right back playing right back. It just wasn't necessarily
saying we put out the best union possible and got schlacked.
We put out a rotation squad, which is similar to
how I would probably pay FIFA in twenty twelve, trying
to just figure if I can place somebody in a hole,
(04:55):
like you know, putting Aaron Wheeler at center back, you
know that kind of thing, just trying to figure something
and didn't work. It was It was a disaster. Class
I know a couple of people who were Muller fans
who were all happy for him succeeding at the highest level,
but beyond that, you know, that was a burned the
tape game in every conceivable way. It was so bad
(05:17):
that I didn't even want to dwell on it because
it was just like, well, what are you going to
learn from that? Not a thing? You know, that was
just a disaster. Disasters happen, you know. Sometimes you lose
by forty in basketball, it happens.
Speaker 2 (05:30):
Yeah, And historically the Union have never lost by more
than four goals in MS play until that game, and
I think the worst was maybe six nothing against the
Mexican team in League's cupp or one of those competitions.
So yeah, that doesn't happen, you know, in the history
of the club, And holy crap, Bradley was just you
(05:52):
know his quote, they exposed and exploited us. Today, we
lost the battle, the war, the fight the sun rises
against and we move on and they move on to Nashville.
And that wasn't very good either, because Nashville takes the
third win in three games this year. I mean I
(06:13):
was calling it the double revenge game. But now, holy crap.
I mean, Nashville beats us. What march They've ruined me
in Sebastian July fourth weekend, we're traveling, and now they
took away the US Open Cup.
Speaker 5 (06:24):
I mean, just stop, unbelievable. Just stop talking to Nashville
all your revenge games. Stopped labeling any games against Nashville anything,
They're just just stop. I don't I don't believe in
jinks Is, but man, the evidence is piling up at
this point.
Speaker 2 (06:39):
Yeah, Subba, your thoughts on Nashville. I mean, I know
you probably touched on it on the on the TV
shows today. Your thoughts on that US Opening Cup game,
because I mean, people can blame like bad refereeing, but
it just wasn't good anywhere.
Speaker 3 (06:52):
No. I mean, definitely, we are liking a lot of offense.
Speaker 4 (06:56):
You know, we don't have a shot on target barely,
you know, try to make the goal keeper we never
play again for we'll make a same and he was
kind of a bit shaky, and I guess on most
of the first goal is where we score with Queen
Sulvan coming in on in the second half, so now
he was, Yeah, a little bit lack of offense. You can
see the guys kind of like playing a bit too fast,
(07:18):
like one shot to combine and stuff, you know, taking
their time.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
I thought we, you know, we could do better or
like as.
Speaker 4 (07:27):
Well defensively, I really just like we we kind of
fell asleep on a long throw, you know, give the lead.
Speaker 3 (07:33):
Nothing a lot happened before that.
Speaker 4 (07:35):
And and yeah, like you said, I think the second
goal is very unfortunate because I don't think it's a
foul on Cabag there. And you can see like the
frustration a lot about the guys starting with you know,
Damiani getting early yellow and kind of already you can
see like the frustration starting from the team. And then
you could kind of like change that a little bit,
like let's not focus about the referees they are going
to be with there sometimes go your way, but knowing
(07:57):
that you know, you're the union, you play away, you're
first in the league. Referee once usually you know, it's
kind of advantage maybe sometimes like and the dog, and
it's what everybody is right now because we are still
first in the East. So yeah, I would say, can
we see less frustration and more like like energy into
(08:20):
the game to try to win it back, stay together,
like more positive than just to try to you know,
like you said, point the finger at all the stuff
happening around us, which some you can control but some
you can't, especially like this Farley was not a fol
and the second goal happened, I thought, like the momentum
in second half when Queen came on.
Speaker 5 (08:39):
Was good.
Speaker 3 (08:40):
The goal, you know, and then we have maybe one or.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
Two chants you know who are like miss you know
the two two, and of course at the end like
Surage class. You know, right now the guy is working
on clouds whatever he touched in the back of the net.
So then you're already before the game that he was
of course that guy and mooked out to watch, but
especially Sarage and he puts straight in the back of
the net. So if you look on like I defensively
(09:03):
we let him. You know, we let him score on
us and he was kind of the thing. So we
need to be better defensively on the guys we know
who are like the best, and I think offensively too.
Like it's overall, you know, I feel like we need
to just raise a bar and I think, yeah, it's
a good wake up call to finish the season and
kind of say, hey, we are still first, but you
(09:23):
need to put back the work that the guy' been
doing from the beginning of the year, and I think
they will on Saturday.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Yeah, this was a rough to say the least two games,
but like you said, because of a little luck with
the other MLS teams, we're still in first place. We're
still on first for the Supporter Shield. So it's not
like jump off the bandwagon go crazy yet. But they
need a wake up call and the offense needs a
(09:50):
kick in the ass, is what I think, Adam. You
thoughts on Nashville and then just general how we get
through going to the rest of the year. We'll get
into the upcoming game, but you know your thoughts, what
do we need to do after seeing this Nashville game
and even the Vancouver game, Like, what does the Union
need to do to make sure we salvage the season
since we still are in first place.
Speaker 5 (10:12):
Yeah, I feel like the word salvage is a little
harsh there. I still think when you're in like you're
really in control of your own destiny for at least
one trophy this year, if not putting yourself in a
prime position for two, first and foremost. I think when
I was talking to a couple of my friends before
the game, I was like, this is going to be
the toughest test I think for the rest of the
season for the Union. I do believe Charlotte is also
(10:35):
going to be difficult, but depending on that point in
the season, you hope that game matters a lot less
than it does now. But I always I thought away
at Nashville was going to be the toughest test for
the rest of this season, and because look, the fact
of the matter is Nashville is in the top three
for a reason. They've been one of the best teams
(10:55):
in the Eastern Conference all year long. Surge is on fire.
He's probably gonna win the Golden Boot ahead of Lionel Messi,
which I don't think if you asked Sam Surgeon when
he was a child, if that was gonna be a
possibility for him to be in the same league as
Messy and for him to outscore Messy. But he's in
that position right now. That game was winnable, that game
(11:16):
was least tieable, and you you had opportunities. Yeah, that
was not a foul, but you know again that life come,
Life comes at you fast, and the Eagles were not eagles.
Fall started against the Kansasy Chiefs and we're not gonna
call that. You know, comes at you fast. So I'm like, look,
that game is tough, but I did not go into
it with the utmost confidence and what and had nothing
(11:36):
to do with Vancouver. I just think that type of
a game, especially a semi final with a club like
Nashville who is definitely hungry for silverware as much as
the Union are, that's tough. That's a tough win. That's
a tough place to go into and try to win.
And so I don't I don't blame so much of
it on the Union per se as and just being
(11:57):
bad as much as you know, National is very good,
but you have to stop the amount of shots on
goal you've given up between Vancouver and Nashville. You gave
up thirty shots total and twenty of them on target.
That's insane for a two game stretch to have that
many shots on target. And it just seems for a
(12:20):
keeper like Andrew Rick, who again I think he's very good.
I think he's very capable, but that is a lot
of you know, targeting from guys like I don't know,
Thomas Mueller and you know, say have Surage and some
of the best strikers in MLS and probably some of
the best strikers on the planet. Like he's not getting
these shots from the third striker on Austin right now.
(12:41):
So that being said, I think you have to figure
out a way to stop getting many shots on you.
And I think it has to become the defensive midfield
as much it is as a center backing issue. Look,
you lack depth at center back, and it's very obvious
at this point. And we've talked to the people who
(13:02):
run this club and they said that they tried very
hard to get some depth that center back and it
just didn't get over the line. But now it's pretty
glaring your lack of depth at that position. You have
enough strikers, you know, to rotate for two different squads.
The problem is if you don't have enough people in
the back end to get the ball to the in
the possession and make sure that the other guys are
(13:23):
not outscoring you. It doesn't matter if you've spent all
the money on the top flight of your strikers, because
it does Bruno or you're a or these guys are
just not going to get the ball anyway. I think
you're still in a good position to win the Supporter
Shield in my eyes. You know, you have a favorable
schedule down the stretch. You still have a team like
(13:44):
New England that you've been very successful against recently. You
have a team like DC that you've been very successful
against recently. You have a team like New York where
you don't know where they're going to be, but that's
a very winnable game as well. So I think you
are in a position to win the Shield and it
shouldn't matter so much that this little stretch and this
blip happened. Same reason why. Look, the Mets swept the
(14:05):
Phillies Phillies and then the Phillies won the division before
anyone else. Bad stretches happen. I just think if there
are concerns and there are things about the union that
have been exposed. These are the things that need to
be addressed in this next transfer window. You have to
figure out what your center back depth is and you
(14:26):
have to live in the universe where Alijndobadoya never plays
right back again.
Speaker 2 (14:31):
Yeah, and speaking of you know, future and I don't know, sadness,
maybe just food for thought. This might be the last
US Open Cup that we play in for the next
two or three years. But that's thinking because next year
we're definitely playing the League's Cup the way it's set up,
so we may not have a shot at the US
Open Cup for and who knows when you want that,
(14:54):
because that means you're having a big year to do
that unless US Soccer and MLS come up with So
this might be the last time we go deep into
the US Open Cup for the near future, because hopefully
the futures break for the team. So let's just food
for thought.
Speaker 5 (15:10):
You know, it's so weird. That's just such a weird
Sorry to answerrupt, but that's just a weird concept of
the more successful you are, you're just now eliminated from
another company. Like it's like, I know, it's like the
conference league, but like, but it's not set up that way.
Like you were going to tell me that the Champions
League and then the Europa League and then the Conference
(15:30):
League was set up that way where it was like
League's Cup then US Open Cup. But that's not how
it's set up. They're all equal championships. So like, this
is why, that's what frustrates me about it is it's
just the whole structure of this in the first place
makes zero sense. You know, even if we did win
this US Open Cup, we didn't play half of Major
(15:51):
League Soccer. It wasn't even an option for US. You know.
Speaker 2 (15:53):
The conspiracy theory says, so seboking total to that goal
scoring record, and that's it.
Speaker 5 (15:58):
I'm fine with that.
Speaker 3 (16:00):
I appreciate it.
Speaker 2 (16:01):
Yeah, so congratulations, long lived that record.
Speaker 5 (16:05):
Oh man.
Speaker 2 (16:06):
So let's let's talk a little bit about the US
men's national team. One big news, big big news. They're
coming to the Subaru Park November fifteenth. Riverends pretty much
sold out. I didn't get on it. I gotta figure
out what I'm doing. But they're gonna play Paraguay, you know,
and bomby November, so that'll be good. And Adam the
(16:27):
crisis has averted the USA beach Japan to zero. How
do you and now you spent your honeymoon in Japan,
how do you say del Cicero in Japanese?
Speaker 5 (16:37):
My wife was the one who actually took the duel
Ingo Japanese courses. I was too busy trying to get
my Italians's and ship. This now not an option for
me for another reasons. But anyway, Yeah, I mean, look,
do I feel slightly better about the US national team?
Absolutely not. Why would I. I mean, that's a good
win though it is a good win. Japan's a good
squad historically, has been a great time to say. Blue
(17:01):
have been one of the best teams in Asia for
a while, and I think to get your get back,
that's a good win, all right. Like I'm not gonna
I can't poo poo every time we compete, especially if
they do something. Okay, we kind of have to do
this off of our own soil eventually, right, Like I
(17:21):
know the whole I know the World Cup is in America,
so technically know, But like I think, bringing everyone to
our country and only occasionally beating these guys is getting
a little weird for me, you know, Like I feel
and I feel like we get more tested if we
left soil. I don't know. I'm not sure what the
protocol is for our host nation when they're about to
(17:42):
have a World Cup. Just do they never leave their
country again after that? I don't know, but that it
is weird right now.
Speaker 2 (17:50):
Well, the weird thing is the rosters. You know, the
next camp it starts October sixth, So roster's got to
come in. We got to figure out what cons is
gonna do. And the only comfort I have is I'm
waiting for Seba to tell us a story about the
nineteen ninety eight French team and correlate that to the
US team so we feel better about this squad.
Speaker 4 (18:10):
Yeah, you would wait for next year, you know, we
plenty of time left. Just enjoys the waiting against Japan
and enjoys the game at home, you know, as a
concoursion cooking from Adam right now, he's trying to find,
like anything he can to dislike his national team.
Speaker 2 (18:26):
Yeah. And speaking of the national team and World Cup,
tickets were made available via lottery for visa cardholders.
Speaker 5 (18:35):
I haven't seen anything.
Speaker 2 (18:36):
I'm signed up for it. I haven't gotten any info.
Speaker 5 (18:38):
I have no idea.
Speaker 2 (18:39):
I don't know anybody that's gotten a ticket yet, but
apparently tickets are going out for the World Cup, so
keep signing up the FIFA dot com and all that
kind of stuff.
Speaker 5 (18:48):
Now in news, the.
Speaker 2 (18:51):
New England Revolution have parted ways with their head coach
Kalip Porter. And you know who they're talking to, Adam,
have you heard this rumor? Jim Jim Jim jimmyth curtain,
the one James Curtain, one James t curtain from Star
Trek thing. So yeah, that's uh, that's the rumor that
(19:14):
Jim's talking to them. And I gotta say, that's a fire.
Speaker 5 (19:19):
That's like a dumpster fire.
Speaker 2 (19:20):
If I'm Jim, I'm like, no, I go to Kansas
City before I go to New England.
Speaker 5 (19:26):
So, but your thoughts on Jim going to New.
Speaker 3 (19:27):
England, I mean, he could be a good fit for him.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
He can turn this thing around and always been pretty
much a shoot show over there for a couple of season. Now,
you know, they have pretty much nothing to play, you know,
even if they're still technically in a playoff possibility, but
if we after sorry, after we beat them this weekend,
they're gonna be out of the playoffs.
Speaker 3 (19:50):
So it could be like.
Speaker 4 (19:53):
Good three or four game for him to see what's
going on and want to build a you know, for
next year. But yeah, I mean he knows the area,
you know, the club, they have a stadium coming.
Speaker 2 (20:06):
I'll get out of here, come on, no way.
Speaker 4 (20:10):
But yeah, I mean it's definitely like a club who
you know, spend money on their coach and anything. So
if he was saying about that, because he was a
saying that we didn't spend much money here anymore, so
he could maybe get to roast he once.
Speaker 2 (20:26):
Well, hopefully he gets some of that Bill Bellicheck money.
You know, just get the bag gym get the bag.
But speaking of New England, Adam, do you want to
lead us off? I mean, you got New England this weekend? Baby,
Come on, this is this is who we needed to play?
Speaker 5 (20:40):
Oh we this is this. I really hope this is
a palate cleanser for us after the last couple of matches,
and I think, especially at home, I think it has
the potential of being one. Here's the thing, and this
is really what I need to point out. Uh, that's
one of I think one of the worst jobs in
MLS right now. And the reason why I believe it's
one of the worst jobs in MLS. Is I just
(21:00):
you get to a point where you look at a
club and you don't really know what the direction of
them is, you know. And I'm not sure if you
notice this as a as a player SEBA when you're
playing against some of the these kind of rudderless clubs
that kind of have these roster can configurations and just
random sign inches and all of that. Like I look
(21:21):
at New England as all of the potential in the universe,
yet I just don't know if the people at the
top would you know, work well enough with Jim to
get them into a position like that. And I think
Jim's does he really want to do another project? Like
he's established himself as a good enough manager to not
require to build something from scratch, you know, Like I
(21:42):
feel like he is is good enough to wait for
something more lucrative to show up, because there could be
like the La Galaxy gig coming up in a couple
of years that they finally give that up much more
they have their like they that seems like a much
more profitable idea, or there's a lot of other moments.
I just I like the idea of Jim getting another
(22:04):
shot in MLS because he deserves it obviously, but just
New England just feels like such a like after a
man who is being sought after by a club like
Cincinnati for him to go to New England, which just
feels such like a letdown for his potential as a manager.
But for a preview of the match, yeah, look, I
think the Union have a get back game here coming,
you know. I think this is a classic opportunity now
(22:28):
after you know, okay, cool pressure is off now from
the US Open Cup. You don't have to worry about
traveling to Minnesota or Austin for a final in a
couple of weeks and rotating rosters again. You can just
focus on accumulating as many points as possible to maintain
your lead and win a trophy if they're I don't
(22:48):
know if these guys are gonna dwell too much on
since Nashville. I hope they haven't, and I hope if
they if they can use it as fuel at worse,
but completely forget about it at best and take it
and take it to New England. I think this is
an opportunity to again flex why you are and have
been one of the best teams in Major League Soccer
(23:08):
this whole year. You know, we keep saying, you know,
everything from here is almost gangbusters from what the expectations
of this club was. But now the expectations have shifted.
You've proven that you're good enough, so now stop the
inferior and keep it moving.
Speaker 2 (23:24):
Yeah, New England's sitting at eleventh place, thirty two points, subbah.
I mean, what's the what's your what's your scouting report
on New England? And what do we need to do
to make sure we get the three points and come
out and get the bad taste out of our mouth.
Speaker 4 (23:39):
I think that justin to focus on the himself, you know,
forget about who he is where, you know, just brings
this game like it's a you know, a playoff game,
you know, brings the energy and everything to take out
of himself. I think New England don't play so much
as the guy's up pretty much playing follows our job
next year.
Speaker 3 (23:54):
Whoever is a head coach, gim or.
Speaker 4 (23:56):
Somebody else to show that they can have a part
of of this team next year, because a lot of
change will happen in this team for sure. And yeah,
it's don't don't play as well, I say in the
show today is like, don't play at the level of
the of the open, you know, raise the bar, don't
hang to a one year old lead. You know, let's
just keep going and you know, make it like a
(24:18):
good comeback after a poor week and you know, attack
the last four game of the season like the strong way,
because yeah, I think we play DC in DC with
you know, a game we need to win as well.
You know, they have nothing to play for, so it
will be kind of almost the same type of game,
but one away and one at home, and then you.
Speaker 3 (24:39):
Have New York City FC at home.
Speaker 4 (24:40):
We will feel more like a playoff game because they
are in a playoff right now, and then shutout at
the end. So can we go to Charlotte and be
in front and you know like having a bit of
cashion or do we have to go there and you know,
try to get a win on the last game and
he will really feel like a playoff game, which is
what I like. At the end, it's like you go
to Charlotte or feeling that a big playoff game before
(25:01):
the playoff. But New England is like it's a it's
a win, it's a three points. You don't have the
three points. It's a it's a disappointment.
Speaker 2 (25:09):
Yeah, and you touched on the schedule, it's it's New England,
it's DC, you're looking at six points there, then it's
New York City and then Charlotte, who's sitting third. So yeah,
I think we definitely want to bank on getting you know,
three points out of out.
Speaker 3 (25:25):
Of yeah, and maybe the win this weekend.
Speaker 4 (25:29):
I will have to look again under standing, but could
almost or be close to get like a home advantage
playoff game as well, which I think it's like always
the first ability for a body counter and like the
way it has been working, and.
Speaker 3 (25:42):
I saw it a bit.
Speaker 4 (25:43):
It's like, you know, it gives go to the team,
and they have kind of always like a stretch of
you know, four or five games, and I think they
are probably going to those far off like those four
last game and like, okay, what do we want to accomplish?
Speaker 3 (25:52):
How many points we want to get?
Speaker 4 (25:53):
Let's get you know, first objective is you know, playoff.
We've got the playoff, now can we have a home advantage?
Speaker 3 (25:59):
Boom?
Speaker 4 (26:00):
And I to go to the home Saturday and then
it's like all right, the last one is window shift,
you know, and he's the highest in this ending. So
uh yeah, I like that game against in England because
you can already bring them back momentum as the.
Speaker 2 (26:13):
Team totally a great I mean, we got two rough games.
Now we've got two that we should handle our business,
and then we're going to see about New York City
and Charlotte end this year. And I mean weather for
this Saturday, it looks beautiful. So what you're calling this game, right, Adam?
You think you're going to be able to make it there?
Speaker 5 (26:32):
I do not. It was been I tried really hard,
but I think now that I'm gently concussed, it's probably
better if I just chill out here for a while,
especially with like the importance of these games. You know
how I go harder than your average, so I think
protect myself here.
Speaker 2 (26:50):
But I'm going to try to sneak this game on
my phone when I'm in the VS in tents, so
we're going to see what happens. But yeah, hopefully we
do what we're supposed to do and we win this
game against New England and we end the season strong
and come out with some hardware. Guys, anything else that
you can think of before we wrap this up.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Yes, just reminding every fans that as the game is
at two City PM and not seven city, so defil
want you know kickoff time as well, which you know
I can maybe change a little bit and the way
you prepare, but for all the fans gets there early.
Speaker 3 (27:23):
You know it'll be fun.
Speaker 4 (27:25):
It's a great to bring the kids at that game
and hopefully we see you knows a great win.
Speaker 2 (27:30):
See I was gonna say it was great for some
Saturday day drinking, but now you're bringing the kids involved,
you know, I mean, you know, I'm a.
Speaker 5 (27:39):
It's changed by you saying kids were coming. I'm still
day drinking. I don't know what you're talking about.
Speaker 2 (27:43):
Well, everybody, get get the day drinking on. Make sure
super U Park is a fortress, make New England feel unwelcome,
because you know that's what we gotta do to win this. Gentlemen,
