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
Ex's in the U.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Welcome back, everybody. This is Ex's in the U. It
is episode number thirty nine. Again. I am a former
President's Sons of Ben. I'm joined with ex head Capo
Adam Booth and of course were graced by the presence
of Union legend Sebastian Latoo. Gentlemen, how is everyone doing?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
You went fine, doing great?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I'm great. Well, we've got a lot to get into
in a little bit of time, so we are going
to jump right into the last couple of weeks. Adam,
the Union went down to Dallas and came away with nothing.
It's pretty much, you know, got a point. I guess
(01:02):
you gotta be happy with that, but you were hoping
for a win. I mean, we had some injuries. The
Union were up a man, which I guess I feel
sometimes that is harder to score when teams are hunkering down.
But a lot of possession and one shot on goals.
So Adam, you want to you want to review real
quick what you thought of Dallas Besides disappointment, I.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Mean, look, that was a game you should have got
three points from the fact that Dallas went down to
ten men was something. For the majority of this game.
You should have been able to take advantage of that.
You outshot them, you outpossessed them. You should have won
that game. You did not, but you didn't lose, which
this is one of the few sports on Planet Earth
for that also matters. So I'd say it's a disappointing
(01:44):
night in Frisco. I would say that all things considered,
you got to look at the fact that this team
has probably dropped at least six points at this part.
At this point of the season, we're in winnable games
and it's not necessarily a too much cause for alarm,
but you could be up ten points in the supporter
(02:06):
shield race very easily. And that's kind of what I'm
looking at right now, where Look, you're having a great season,
and if anything, this tells you that you still have
things to improve on. But you got to get you
got to put some of these games away, especially when
you were playing an inferior opponent that's down to ten
men and you know, all things considered.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, I mean, and we're gonna get Sebastians take on this.
But you know, it was a really busy May and
they were ending May.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
On that kind of note.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So I can kind of understand some tired legs some
of your thoughts on the Dallas game.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yeah, I mean, I'm kind of with an Adam on this.
I think, you know's a red gal was a huge
helpful Union too. Maybe try to get this three points.
I think we'd be okay with a one point in
this game. But yeah, it's kind of like, okay, we
had a chance. Could we get this three points? No,
but we didn't retake advantage.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
We try.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
But I feel like you said, I think a big
month of May, a lot of games, you know, two
games on the road and not you know, getting the
three point at the end was a bit you know, disappointing,
but we still don't defeat it, you know, since a
long time, and it was the game for almost now
two months, so you know, the team is still on
(03:20):
top of the standing. And I think it was those
a couple of days being off with just a game
against Atlas was you know, something for the team to
to be able to rest and get back on track
and now you know, having you know, a home game
against Charlotte.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
But yeah, still positive for the team.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
But again as a fan, as a person for the team,
you're like, why don't we get you know, those three
points when the Dallas player with ten men?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, so and and and you brought it up and
it was a good transition. Atlas came to town, which
used to be a really really big game in Chester, Pennsylvania,
and no, it wasn't. I showed up. I went, I'm
gonna be honest, I left it halftime because it really
wasn't worth my time to see anymore because you could
tell the Union were playing majority of the reserves, and
(04:14):
I think got list was doing the same thing, and
the environment wasn't there. And the last time that listeners
in town, their fans were not well behaved. Can you
agree with me, Adam, This is a.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Smidge, you know, but I think it's all relative and
the grating curve of American sports fandom.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, so this one was disappointing. I mean, if there
was twenty five hundred fans, I'd be shocked if that
was it. Atlas had a very small crowd, and you
can point to the current conditions is the reasoning why
they weren't coming to the game. But Union fans didn't
come out, you know, So it was just one of
those why do we play this? Well? At least some
(04:50):
of the reserves got in and played and we got
to win two to one, and Oliver actually played pretty
well in net. So that was the one takeaway I
took either of you guys. I didn't look around. Did
you guys go to the game? Did you see any
of it? Old on Matt So, okay, so it's up
there is Yeah, Adam, did you go to the Atlas game?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I did not go to the Atlas game, but I
kept an eye on it out of the corner of
my eye, because, you know, I felt like there was
gonna be a lot of young players playing, and I
felt like, look, these friendlies are cosmetic at best. I
don't think the Union even thought they would get more
than four thousand people showing up to this thing in
the first place. You know, but when you have these
(05:36):
international breaks, that for once MLS is kind of observing.
I know, they had four teams play on Wednesday, but
when you have these little breaks, I recognize the fact
that you know, it's just for building purposes. This was
just to give these guys something to do. Padoya. You know,
(05:57):
all these guys who are not making their own purpose
active national teams and you know you too, and at
LEAs get some get some playing time, gets a ladder,
gets out of the country. Everyone wins. But in that respect,
but you know, I don't you take this with a
grain of salt. It was it was good to see
that the young players were playing. Good to see Davis
(06:18):
get that goal. Uh, you know, the the youth Academy
is still youth academy eing and you see the fruits
of that labor are still coming through the pipeline. So
that's good to see. But yeah, you know that was
just a thing. And okay, move on to the next You.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Know exactly, h did you Did you see any of
the the atleas.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
No I did not. No, I did not. Again, I
was a weekend vacation with my wife, But no, I
mean those games.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Yes, it's friendly, it's it's a possibility for you know,
head coach to see some young guys, give some minutes
to the guys didn't play a lot in the past
couple of weeks, and I've been to those games.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
You know, it's uh, it's more entertainment. Uh.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
You know, you play forty five minutes usually and you
move on to the next it's kind of like a trait,
like a like a practice, you know, with fans pretty
much watching it.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
So yeah, I don't watch it. I just saw the highlights.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
But other that, yeah, it was not as many fans
maybe could have been, you know during the first few
years when I played, when a Mexican team come to town.
So yeah, it looked like not really anybody was interesting
and it plus it's a game we kind of came late,
you know, schedule. He was not really a part of it,
and they added up I think like two or three
(07:32):
months ago. So yeah, something good for the team to
keep playing and not be off too long because you know,
they had a break and now you know they have
a game this weekend and then another break. So it's
it was good to just kind of, you know, get
some minutes for the team so they they still play
and they don't you know, get get too cold to
start again against Charlotte.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Amost, like Adam said, I said, you said, it's good
that you know, Union to some academy projects got to play.
You know, we got to see them. So it is
what it is. It was an exercise. But Adam, instead
of talking about the academy, do you know that the
Union have a second academy, a pipeline and it's the
business side. Adam, I don't know if you saw this,
(08:13):
but Ali Genteel has left the MLS to go to
the NFL. This is I think the seventh person from
the Union business side to go to the NFL, to Houston, Texas.
I mean, we got to talk about this pipeline of
talent that's coming through the business side of the Union
and how this is going to affect the pod because Adam,
(08:34):
I don't know if I told you, we are now
the Philadelphia Pod for the Houston Texans h Town baby htown.
Just we're chasing that NFL money like everybody else looks.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It's first all shout out to ag you know, she
was one of the people who helped me get my
EMLS career started up and all that fun stuff.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
It was always one of the nicest people back in
the early days of my CAPO ing. So shout out
to her. Also shout out to Philadelphia. At this point,
we need to take that bridge sign out of Trenton
and put it in Philly where it's Philly makes and
the world takes because apparently we're just out here as
a manufacturing uh situation for them.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
And I mean, like cool, Google gool gool cool.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Good for her, And shout out to the Houston Texans.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I like them as an organization.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I stroud. How do you think he's going to do
six one oh five five, five ninety seven ninety seven.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I look, man, I'll bring him. I like CJ shout
a lot too. I think he's great.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I think they need an offensive line.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
YO, give him an offensive line. He's scary.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Well yeah, congratulations and and and Texans stay away from
our people, Okay, Kansas City Current stole one of ours. Two. Also,
just let you know that's that's we're gonna We're gonna
do more business side academy news in the future. But
speaking of call ups, dude, the Union for this past
international break Dre Harril, Danlee, CJ. Rick, both Sullivan's, Vasquez,
(10:07):
Frankie Westfield, like guys got some work in during this
and we'll talk about the upcoming Gold Cup, and we
talk about Charlotte but Club World Cup, LAFC gets to
join the join the big boys, and we're starting Monday
the sixteenth, Lincoln Financial Field. You know, we've got some
we've got some good ones. We've got you know, Man
City coming, We've got Chelsea of course, and Juventus, Madrid, Salzburg.
(10:33):
So I'm I'm I'm looking at it. I'm thinking the
twenty fourth, I'm going, but I'm waiting for tickets to
go down because seven and I were talking the tickets
are either like fifty five dollars or fifteen hundred. So
I'm just sitting there on stub Hub or game time,
just sniping those and we'll see what happens. In other
exciting news at them July fourth weekend, it's down to
(10:55):
only travel solo. You can only buy packages. You have
ticket and tailgate packages if you want to get down there.
And I think we might have room in the hotel.
Some go to Philly Sports trips dot com. But Sebastian
Latou is gonna be We're gonna let him loose on Broadway.
So this is gonna be his first time on Broadway.
So Saba, you're looking forward to Nashville.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Yeah, I am. It's it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
You know, spaying is a fourth of July in the
Defense cities and jar it's always fun to see how
people celebrated. But yeah, happy to meet with his older fans,
you know, having fun watching you know, the game together
and hopefully a great game.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
And I know a w for the team.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, and if anyone's going down independently, we've got a
ticket and tailgate package, so chop on the site. August second,
Frankfurt's coming to town. I don't know if Paxston's gonna
be there or not, but we're gonna be announcing, you know,
some kind of party with brah Schmidt. So for that
friendly And then the only thing I had in League
new is Adam. Saint Louis is on their fourth coach.
(11:54):
So thank you Saint Louis for giving us Bradley. We
really appreciate it. Good times. And here's here's something that's
going to be upsetting to you, Adam. The US men's
national team. We got to talk a little bit about this.
I mean, Paxton gets a late call up, Nate gets
a call up, crossing broad Kevin Kinkaid did some math
(12:16):
of the USA Gold Cup roster as union players or alumni,
but unfortunately we played Turkey and lost two to one
union alumni Jack has a banger. And then against Switzerland,
I mean, we pretty much had half the roster playing,
but we got blown out for nothing. So, Adam, the
(12:36):
floor is yours for USA, how you're feeling, and then
Sebastian will tell you it's going to be okay.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I short answer, this is an unmitigated disaster in every
conceivable way.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
And here's the best part about this.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
The weird ironic hope is going to be well Polistic
didn't play, and McKinney didn't play, and Jedi wasn't there,
and with all of that said, that's going to make
the difference.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So Gio Renna's gonna save us.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Essentially, my question is who's the goalie because can't be
Matt Turner at this point.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Oh, you cannot tell me.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
That Matt Turner is your starting goalkeeper for the for
not only just the Gold Cup, I'm talking about the
World Cup. I can't imagine this is your starting keeper
in twenty twenty six unless there is a drastic turnaround
in his performance.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Which he's not.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Even gaining minutes in his in was it Nottingham Forest
two years ago? Crystal Palace last year, he's not even
getting tick Oh. I think he's in France next now
he's on now he's on his way to Olympica, uh Leon,
So you know, maybe that he will finally get some play.
(13:54):
But at the same time, I'm like looking at him
right now and I'm like, this can't be We like
the America constraint.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Used to be a goalkeeper, you know, you used to.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Say Americans, they might not be the greatest football players
in the world, but they somehow can still play with
their hands.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
They're really good with their hands. Let's make them goalkeeper.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
So you won't Brad Guzan against stem Cell.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'm gonna say this right now.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Is Brad Guzan so much worse than the pool we have?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Actively?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I don't even want to entertain that line of fuck,
because that's that's.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
I'm retreading Sean Johnson. He's back in the fray. Apparently
I'm retreading Zach Stephan. He's back in the fray. Apparently,
God go Zolina. He was just sent to the moon.
Apparently no one knows where he is Ethan Holvrath. I
don't know where he is either.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So my question to.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
The audience is, authentically, is Brad Guzan that much worse
than these guys at this point, because I don't know.
At least he's playing like Brad Guzanna, at least playing
minutes right now now, he is twintuple the amount of
minutes that Matt Turner has been playing. So I'm just saying, look,
(15:08):
I think we're just going to be bad, and that's okay.
I think that if the US messed around and got
to a quarterfinal in the World Cup based off of
the power of friendship and the fact that they're home games, mazzle,
but that's the ceiling for this team. I can't imagine
anything better than that, and that should be very disappointing
to US soccer fans. Just flat out you should have
(15:32):
This should have been a team that came together, that
gelled together, that showed the globe that Americans can play
not just on our own soil but internationally. And it
just seems like we're in we're headed towards. Won't be
(15:54):
as bad as South Africa hosting the World Cup, I'll say,
but definitely one of a time where you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Be like, wow, we really had opportunity here and we
squander something.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Sebastian, I need you to save us, save the USA.
Tell us it's gonna be okay.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
You're already trying to you know, making you look very
very bad. Ferro against was pretty bad act, especially the
first half. But yeah, it's it's tough, but you can
really show like two, it's you play a good team
of is one of the best you know, European country
in the past couple of.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Years, and you can see that.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Let's say, when you have a roster just made up
MS player, it's still under you know, they need more experience,
you know, they need to play more all those games,
and right now the US is under Yes, I mean
the European player will for sure help the team. But
you know, it was perfectly a good reminder to all
those young players in that Yeah, okay, you might be
(16:52):
good right now you got cold up, but you need
to work much harder if you want to compete against
one of those teams. But yeah, I was more the
SAIDs the point about the the attitude of the player,
you know, like they didn't we are.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Very hungry to run to show what they can do.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
They kind of play like, okay, we we made it
because you know, we are the best network team right now.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
So I don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
It was a yeah, a bit disappointing because I didn't
see like the like fire into their their fit to
kind of run hard and play hard and even if
it's the friendly but and he was, you know, to
get ready for the Gold gup, but he was not
really the best preparation for them to get ready for
this tournament.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
No, they looked disjoin it. I didn't see any kind
of identity. So the Gold Cup's going to be very interesting.
But the most interesting thing about US soccer right now, guys,
is Mark Polistic versus Lennon Donovan. That is so far
the best story I have seen coming out. Mark Polisic
using chat GPT to snap back at Landon Donovan. Adam
(17:54):
your laugh and I know you rd it, you saw it,
your thoughts because I'm personally on politic side right now
because I don't like Landon Donovan. I don't know what
it is about him. I just don't like the face.
But Adam, your thoughts on a Mark pollisics use the
chat GPT for slats for clotbacks.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I think America.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
One of the greatest issues American soccer has is that
our mediocrity has been so tremendous throughout the decade that
Landon Donovan.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Is important to us.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Because I can't like and he's scored some incredible goals
for US. I remember the goal against Ghana in the
World Cup. I remember a lot of his contributions. I
have a Landon Donovan US jersey somewhere in that closet
in there. Shut up and like, I'm really really exhausted
(18:46):
by former players and former like national team players coming
on and absolutely trashing this generation of players. I do
believe there are some points of merit, and I do
believe that what Seba's saying is right.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
The hunger is not there.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I equate it to when Madden got the exclusive NFL
license for video games and then they didn't have any
more competition, So Madden hasn't been the same level of
a game since. Once you realize you're kind of locked
into that position. I think a lot of these guys
have been coasting ever since. I know Weston McKenny and
Polistic and Jedi and all these guys believe no one's
(19:26):
ever going to take their spots, so therefore they're just
hanging out. In fact, the only person who's ever had
themselves truly challenged was Geno Renna, and that was for
a multitude of other reasons.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
So all this to say, I'm really exhausted by.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
These guys, these former players, is being like, well, back
in my day, we had more love of the badge,
we had more dedication.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
And all that.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
When Landon Donovan is documented for taking sabbaticals, for taking
time off, and for being a pain in the ass
too many people on the mL, on the US national
soccer team, this is Carly Lloyd with less hardware to me,
And that's really what annoys me about this is just
shut up. You're not helping, Like do you believe that
(20:10):
by saying these words, you're lighting a fire under the
butts of the US and the players, Like do you
think you're the next Alexi Lawless who is going to.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Just draw them out via shame?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
If this team is not good enough, this team is
not good enough, and if their passion is not there,
their passion's not there. But you complaining about these guys
not wanting it as much as you did when we could.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Tell not all the time you wanted it Landon.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
It's it's just it's really disappointed to me, and it
really just reeks of not jealousy, but it just reminds
me of like, Yo, Landing, your time in each in
Europe was five and a half minutes, like you had
a cup of coffee and it wasn't a good one.
You know, we have people like Polistic who were actually
making contributions to Ti Milan and Juventus with McKenny and
(20:57):
guys who were winning trophies and championships, and you're barely
making it a fulm. It just reeks of jealousy and
an aptitude and I'm just like, shut up, my guy.
Let them fail, but I don't need to hear your
voice while they're failing.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Say that's the vote number two for Mark Polistic. Sebastian,
did you see the the extreme between Christian politic stat
Mark and Lendon Donovan online?
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Yeah I saw it, and yeah, I mean I'm kind
of like with with that. I'm on it. It's just
as an explayer as well.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
It's the same when I talk, you know, to the
Union and when I'm on the radio and if they
don't play well or whatever, I'm not you know, just
talking about oh I did that and whatever. It's I
kind of know it's it's a struggle sometimes, you know,
you don't have the best game, so you always try
to be on the side of the player, especially you
have been one of them, so I understand that.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Yeah, sorry London. You never had a career, you know,
in in Europe like those guys.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
You went on little down here and there during the
MNS break during the winter, but you decided to stay.
So you know, you cannot talk. You don't know why
it is to be under pressure like this more than
six months. So yeah, it's I'll be disappointed for me
to say that, especially being you know who is in
(22:12):
the US you know, national team and as an icon
for of people doing each time in the league.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's unanimous four team Polisic. But yeah, anyhow, so that's
that's the drama. We're gonna watch. The Gold Cup begins
and it runs until July sixth, so we're going to
be well, we'll see who we're missing. Let's get into Charlotte.
We've got eighth place Charlotte coming into town June fourteenth.
(22:39):
The future head of US Soccer, Tommy Wilson is bringing
his his group in, so it'll be good to see
Tommy pre game, not during the game. And we will
be missing Dre, HARRYL Danley, and Quinn, but Charlotte missing
two big ones. Patrick and Tim Riemer are going to
be gone from Arlotte, so they're missing their star forward
(23:01):
and their best defender. It's going to be an interesting game.
And seven I were talking before. Out of the four
we're missing, I go, Danlee is probably the biggest hole
we have to fill in them maybe neat right now,
I'm not even saying Andre Blake's the biggest miss or Quinn,
which I'm shocked at. But yeah, so guys, who wants
to do a little preview with.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Charlotte, I mean, real quick, it's just it's simple enough
where what you said is one hundred percent correct. I
think Rick has proven himself a capable goalie in Major
league soccer as of right now. I mean that being said,
he is allowed a clunker. You know, I can say
that and he can let in four goals, and I
don't think my sentence is any less true. You know,
(23:44):
I think he's proven that he's ready for the big
time here. So look, Andre Blake is better, and Andre
Blake is when you have him, you are a better team.
But I don't believe the fall off is but so
big now where you feel this is now a game
in peril.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Same thing I think.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
I think Danley is one of the best players that
we had. I think that signing doesn't get enough credit
even to this point of what that was in terms
of trying to find the replacement for Jose Martinez and
really solidify that midfield. So I think that was really
a really good piece added to the equation. Quinn Sullivan's
(24:25):
on fire, So I mean, I think we're gonna miss
in a little bit more than then we think, But
I do believe in the depth that we have up
top so that that will be something.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
That will be mitigated. But yeah, Quinn, but this look,
go get the points here and is my philosophy on.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
This exactly Semashian your thoughts on upcoming Charlotte and even
looking at.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
This one, Yeah, I it's a perfect time to take them.
And again, even if we are missing you a few guys,
I think you know that is quite strong and he
just will hopefully show us again that it's not just
eleven players, it's.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
A full group is going to get a result.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
And out of the two squad between Charlotte and Philly,
I think even if we are missing four players and
they are missing just two, I like our chances. I
like the way you know the team has been playing
when somebody needs to step up, so hopefully, you know,
we do it from the first minute. He's been a
long break, and you know we need to get three
(25:22):
points at home after another you know break after that game,
and then two away game against Columbus and Chicago, which
are going to be two tough games because both of
those team are arguing in Chicago. What seven two in
DC or something like this, like seven to one. Yeah,
so and then have all all of their best players
as well. So yeah, big game. But it's yeah, I
(25:44):
feel like we have we have. I feel good about
the game. And somebody else knows stepping up and taking
the role of Queen Sullivan and then lead the midfield
together win.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I'm looking forward to it. I think it's gonna be
a good game. Guys should be a little bit more arrested,
gear back up to go and continue this run that
we're on. All right, well, we're gonna put a bow
on this on a couple couple of housekeeping the LA
two soccer summer camp July twenty first to the twenty fourth,
while with Crest seven.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Still room, yep, still room, still room.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
So yeah, hurry up.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Adam, you're bringing Leo down to develop that left foot.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
I don't even know what foot he has yet, that's
how young he is, but we will figure it out.
If it is a left foot, I will cultivate the
hell out of that though.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And Adam the Hotbirds Hot Bird summer.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Oh man, I wish I could talk better about us
for now three and four after being three and oh
because you know, the doggy dog world of the UFA
is intense. But we have a beautiful matchup against the
Pittsburgh Thunderbirds for the Commonwealth Cup that is somewhere in
my house right now. I can't see it. But yeah,
that'll be this Saturday at six pm on watch UFA TV.
(26:58):
And we're gonna have a live game on NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
On June twenty eighth, so you know, set your calendars.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
When when's the next home game that that game.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
That will be it June twenty eighth will be our
next home game which will be also Cultural Heritage Night.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
So here we go. Well, gentlemen, Sebastian La two, Adam Booth,
thank you very much for joining us and sharing our
wealth of knowledge in our polistic versus Landon Donovan takes.
This was episode thirty nine of X's and the U.
Everybody will see it super Park on Saturday night. Thank you,
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
Ex's in the U.
Speaker 2 (00:20):
Welcome back, everybody. This is Ex's in the U. It
is episode number thirty nine. Again. I am a former
President's Sons of Ben. I'm joined with ex head Capo
Adam Booth and of course were graced by the presence
of Union legend Sebastian Latoo. Gentlemen, how is everyone doing?
Speaker 3 (00:40):
You went fine, doing great?
Speaker 2 (00:41):
I'm great. Well, we've got a lot to get into
in a little bit of time, so we are going
to jump right into the last couple of weeks. Adam,
the Union went down to Dallas and came away with nothing.
It's pretty much, you know, got a point. I guess
(01:02):
you gotta be happy with that, but you were hoping
for a win. I mean, we had some injuries. The
Union were up a man, which I guess I feel
sometimes that is harder to score when teams are hunkering down.
But a lot of possession and one shot on goals.
So Adam, you want to you want to review real
quick what you thought of Dallas Besides disappointment, I.
Speaker 4 (01:23):
Mean, look, that was a game you should have got
three points from the fact that Dallas went down to
ten men was something. For the majority of this game.
You should have been able to take advantage of that.
You outshot them, you outpossessed them. You should have won
that game. You did not, but you didn't lose, which
this is one of the few sports on Planet Earth
for that also matters. So I'd say it's a disappointing
(01:44):
night in Frisco. I would say that all things considered,
you got to look at the fact that this team
has probably dropped at least six points at this part.
At this point of the season, we're in winnable games
and it's not necessarily a too much cause for alarm,
but you could be up ten points in the supporter
(02:06):
shield race very easily. And that's kind of what I'm
looking at right now, where Look, you're having a great season,
and if anything, this tells you that you still have
things to improve on. But you got to get you
got to put some of these games away, especially when
you were playing an inferior opponent that's down to ten
men and you know, all things considered.
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Yeah, I mean, and we're gonna get Sebastians take on this.
But you know, it was a really busy May and
they were ending May.
Speaker 3 (02:35):
On that kind of note.
Speaker 2 (02:36):
So I can kind of understand some tired legs some
of your thoughts on the Dallas game.
Speaker 5 (02:41):
Yeah, I mean, I'm kind of with an Adam on this.
I think, you know's a red gal was a huge
helpful Union too. Maybe try to get this three points.
I think we'd be okay with a one point in
this game. But yeah, it's kind of like, okay, we
had a chance. Could we get this three points? No,
but we didn't retake advantage.
Speaker 6 (02:58):
We try.
Speaker 5 (02:59):
But I feel like you said, I think a big
month of May, a lot of games, you know, two
games on the road and not you know, getting the
three point at the end was a bit you know, disappointing,
but we still don't defeat it, you know, since a
long time, and it was the game for almost now
two months, so you know, the team is still on
(03:20):
top of the standing. And I think it was those
a couple of days being off with just a game
against Atlas was you know, something for the team to
to be able to rest and get back on track
and now you know, having you know, a home game
against Charlotte.
Speaker 6 (03:36):
But yeah, still positive for the team.
Speaker 5 (03:40):
But again as a fan, as a person for the team,
you're like, why don't we get you know, those three
points when the Dallas player with ten men?
Speaker 2 (03:50):
Yeah, so and and and you brought it up and
it was a good transition. Atlas came to town, which
used to be a really really big game in Chester, Pennsylvania,
and no, it wasn't. I showed up. I went, I'm
gonna be honest, I left it halftime because it really
wasn't worth my time to see anymore because you could
tell the Union were playing majority of the reserves, and
(04:14):
I think got list was doing the same thing, and
the environment wasn't there. And the last time that listeners
in town, their fans were not well behaved. Can you
agree with me, Adam, This is a.
Speaker 4 (04:23):
Smidge, you know, but I think it's all relative and
the grating curve of American sports fandom.
Speaker 2 (04:28):
Yeah, so this one was disappointing. I mean, if there
was twenty five hundred fans, I'd be shocked if that
was it. Atlas had a very small crowd, and you
can point to the current conditions is the reasoning why
they weren't coming to the game. But Union fans didn't
come out, you know, So it was just one of
those why do we play this? Well? At least some
(04:50):
of the reserves got in and played and we got
to win two to one, and Oliver actually played pretty
well in net. So that was the one takeaway I
took either of you guys. I didn't look around. Did
you guys go to the game? Did you see any
of it? Old on Matt So, okay, so it's up
there is Yeah, Adam, did you go to the Atlas game?
Speaker 4 (05:13):
I did not go to the Atlas game, but I
kept an eye on it out of the corner of
my eye, because, you know, I felt like there was
gonna be a lot of young players playing, and I
felt like, look, these friendlies are cosmetic at best. I
don't think the Union even thought they would get more
than four thousand people showing up to this thing in
the first place. You know, but when you have these
(05:36):
international breaks, that for once MLS is kind of observing.
I know, they had four teams play on Wednesday, but
when you have these little breaks, I recognize the fact
that you know, it's just for building purposes. This was
just to give these guys something to do. Padoya. You know,
(05:57):
all these guys who are not making their own purpose
active national teams and you know you too, and at
LEAs get some get some playing time, gets a ladder,
gets out of the country. Everyone wins. But in that respect,
but you know, I don't you take this with a
grain of salt. It was it was good to see
that the young players were playing. Good to see Davis
(06:18):
get that goal. Uh, you know, the the youth Academy
is still youth academy eing and you see the fruits
of that labor are still coming through the pipeline. So
that's good to see. But yeah, you know that was
just a thing. And okay, move on to the next You.
Speaker 2 (06:32):
Know exactly, h did you Did you see any of
the the atleas.
Speaker 6 (06:38):
No I did not. No, I did not. Again, I
was a weekend vacation with my wife, But no, I
mean those games.
Speaker 5 (06:45):
Yes, it's friendly, it's it's a possibility for you know,
head coach to see some young guys, give some minutes
to the guys didn't play a lot in the past
couple of weeks, and I've been to those games.
Speaker 6 (06:56):
You know, it's uh, it's more entertainment. Uh.
Speaker 5 (07:00):
You know, you play forty five minutes usually and you
move on to the next it's kind of like a trait,
like a like a practice, you know, with fans pretty
much watching it.
Speaker 6 (07:08):
So yeah, I don't watch it. I just saw the highlights.
Speaker 5 (07:12):
But other that, yeah, it was not as many fans
maybe could have been, you know during the first few
years when I played, when a Mexican team come to town.
So yeah, it looked like not really anybody was interesting
and it plus it's a game we kind of came late,
you know, schedule. He was not really a part of it,
and they added up I think like two or three
(07:32):
months ago. So yeah, something good for the team to
keep playing and not be off too long because you know,
they had a break and now you know they have
a game this weekend and then another break. So it's
it was good to just kind of, you know, get
some minutes for the team so they they still play
and they don't you know, get get too cold to
start again against Charlotte.
Speaker 2 (07:52):
Amost, like Adam said, I said, you said, it's good
that you know, Union to some academy projects got to play.
You know, we got to see them. So it is
what it is. It was an exercise. But Adam, instead
of talking about the academy, do you know that the
Union have a second academy, a pipeline and it's the
business side. Adam, I don't know if you saw this,
(08:13):
but Ali Genteel has left the MLS to go to
the NFL. This is I think the seventh person from
the Union business side to go to the NFL, to Houston, Texas.
I mean, we got to talk about this pipeline of
talent that's coming through the business side of the Union
and how this is going to affect the pod because Adam,
(08:34):
I don't know if I told you, we are now
the Philadelphia Pod for the Houston Texans h Town baby htown.
Just we're chasing that NFL money like everybody else looks.
Speaker 4 (08:47):
It's first all shout out to ag you know, she
was one of the people who helped me get my
EMLS career started up and all that fun stuff.
Speaker 6 (08:55):
You know.
Speaker 4 (08:55):
It was always one of the nicest people back in
the early days of my CAPO ing. So shout out
to her. Also shout out to Philadelphia. At this point,
we need to take that bridge sign out of Trenton
and put it in Philly where it's Philly makes and
the world takes because apparently we're just out here as
a manufacturing uh situation for them.
Speaker 3 (09:18):
And I mean, like cool, Google gool gool cool.
Speaker 4 (09:20):
Good for her, And shout out to the Houston Texans.
Speaker 3 (09:25):
I like them as an organization.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
I stroud. How do you think he's going to do
six one oh five five, five ninety seven ninety seven.
Speaker 3 (09:32):
I look, man, I'll bring him. I like CJ shout
a lot too. I think he's great.
Speaker 2 (09:36):
I think they need an offensive line.
Speaker 3 (09:38):
YO, give him an offensive line. He's scary.
Speaker 2 (09:43):
Well yeah, congratulations and and and Texans stay away from
our people, Okay, Kansas City Current stole one of ours. Two. Also,
just let you know that's that's we're gonna We're gonna
do more business side academy news in the future. But
speaking of call ups, dude, the Union for this past
international break Dre Harril, Danlee, CJ. Rick, both Sullivan's, Vasquez,
(10:07):
Frankie Westfield, like guys got some work in during this
and we'll talk about the upcoming Gold Cup, and we
talk about Charlotte but Club World Cup, LAFC gets to
join the join the big boys, and we're starting Monday
the sixteenth, Lincoln Financial Field. You know, we've got some
we've got some good ones. We've got you know, Man
City coming, We've got Chelsea of course, and Juventus, Madrid, Salzburg.
(10:33):
So I'm I'm I'm looking at it. I'm thinking the
twenty fourth, I'm going, but I'm waiting for tickets to
go down because seven and I were talking the tickets
are either like fifty five dollars or fifteen hundred. So
I'm just sitting there on stub Hub or game time,
just sniping those and we'll see what happens. In other
exciting news at them July fourth weekend, it's down to
(10:55):
only travel solo. You can only buy packages. You have
ticket and tailgate packages if you want to get down there.
And I think we might have room in the hotel.
Some go to Philly Sports trips dot com. But Sebastian
Latou is gonna be We're gonna let him loose on Broadway.
So this is gonna be his first time on Broadway.
So Saba, you're looking forward to Nashville.
Speaker 6 (11:15):
Yeah, I am. It's it's gonna be fun.
Speaker 5 (11:16):
You know, spaying is a fourth of July in the
Defense cities and jar it's always fun to see how
people celebrated. But yeah, happy to meet with his older fans,
you know, having fun watching you know, the game together
and hopefully a great game.
Speaker 6 (11:30):
And I know a w for the team.
Speaker 2 (11:32):
Yeah, and if anyone's going down independently, we've got a
ticket and tailgate package, so chop on the site. August second,
Frankfurt's coming to town. I don't know if Paxston's gonna
be there or not, but we're gonna be announcing, you know,
some kind of party with brah Schmidt. So for that
friendly And then the only thing I had in League
new is Adam. Saint Louis is on their fourth coach.
(11:54):
So thank you Saint Louis for giving us Bradley. We
really appreciate it. Good times. And here's here's something that's
going to be upsetting to you, Adam. The US men's
national team. We got to talk a little bit about this.
I mean, Paxton gets a late call up, Nate gets
a call up, crossing broad Kevin Kinkaid did some math
(12:16):
of the USA Gold Cup roster as union players or alumni,
but unfortunately we played Turkey and lost two to one
union alumni Jack has a banger. And then against Switzerland,
I mean, we pretty much had half the roster playing,
but we got blown out for nothing. So, Adam, the
(12:36):
floor is yours for USA, how you're feeling, and then
Sebastian will tell you it's going to be okay.
Speaker 4 (12:42):
I short answer, this is an unmitigated disaster in every
conceivable way.
Speaker 3 (12:46):
And here's the best part about this.
Speaker 4 (12:50):
The weird ironic hope is going to be well Polistic
didn't play, and McKinney didn't play, and Jedi wasn't there,
and with all of that said, that's going to make
the difference.
Speaker 2 (13:04):
So Gio Renna's gonna save us.
Speaker 4 (13:07):
Essentially, my question is who's the goalie because can't be
Matt Turner at this point.
Speaker 3 (13:14):
Oh, you cannot tell me.
Speaker 4 (13:17):
That Matt Turner is your starting goalkeeper for the for
not only just the Gold Cup, I'm talking about the
World Cup. I can't imagine this is your starting keeper
in twenty twenty six unless there is a drastic turnaround
in his performance.
Speaker 3 (13:31):
Which he's not.
Speaker 4 (13:32):
Even gaining minutes in his in was it Nottingham Forest
two years ago? Crystal Palace last year, he's not even
getting tick Oh. I think he's in France next now
he's on now he's on his way to Olympica, uh Leon,
So you know, maybe that he will finally get some play.
(13:54):
But at the same time, I'm like looking at him
right now and I'm like, this can't be We like
the America constraint.
Speaker 3 (14:00):
Used to be a goalkeeper, you know, you used to.
Speaker 4 (14:03):
Say Americans, they might not be the greatest football players
in the world, but they somehow can still play with
their hands.
Speaker 3 (14:10):
They're really good with their hands. Let's make them goalkeeper.
Speaker 2 (14:13):
So you won't Brad Guzan against stem Cell.
Speaker 3 (14:16):
I'm gonna say this right now.
Speaker 4 (14:18):
Is Brad Guzan so much worse than the pool we have?
Speaker 3 (14:24):
Actively?
Speaker 2 (14:25):
I don't even want to entertain that line of fuck,
because that's that's.
Speaker 4 (14:31):
I'm retreading Sean Johnson. He's back in the fray. Apparently
I'm retreading Zach Stephan. He's back in the fray. Apparently,
God go Zolina. He was just sent to the moon.
Apparently no one knows where he is Ethan Holvrath. I
don't know where he is either.
Speaker 2 (14:47):
So my question to.
Speaker 4 (14:47):
The audience is, authentically, is Brad Guzan that much worse
than these guys at this point, because I don't know.
At least he's playing like Brad Guzanna, at least playing
minutes right now now, he is twintuple the amount of
minutes that Matt Turner has been playing. So I'm just saying, look,
(15:08):
I think we're just going to be bad, and that's okay.
I think that if the US messed around and got
to a quarterfinal in the World Cup based off of
the power of friendship and the fact that they're home games, mazzle,
but that's the ceiling for this team. I can't imagine
anything better than that, and that should be very disappointing
to US soccer fans. Just flat out you should have
(15:32):
This should have been a team that came together, that
gelled together, that showed the globe that Americans can play
not just on our own soil but internationally. And it
just seems like we're in we're headed towards. Won't be
(15:54):
as bad as South Africa hosting the World Cup, I'll say,
but definitely one of a time where you're gonna.
Speaker 3 (15:59):
Be like, wow, we really had opportunity here and we
squander something.
Speaker 2 (16:03):
Sebastian, I need you to save us, save the USA.
Tell us it's gonna be okay.
Speaker 5 (16:09):
You're already trying to you know, making you look very
very bad. Ferro against was pretty bad act, especially the
first half. But yeah, it's it's tough, but you can
really show like two, it's you play a good team
of is one of the best you know, European country
in the past couple of.
Speaker 6 (16:25):
Years, and you can see that.
Speaker 5 (16:28):
Let's say, when you have a roster just made up
MS player, it's still under you know, they need more experience,
you know, they need to play more all those games,
and right now the US is under Yes, I mean
the European player will for sure help the team. But
you know, it was perfectly a good reminder to all
those young players in that Yeah, okay, you might be
(16:52):
good right now you got cold up, but you need
to work much harder if you want to compete against
one of those teams. But yeah, I was more the
SAIDs the point about the the attitude of the player,
you know, like they didn't we are.
Speaker 6 (17:05):
Very hungry to run to show what they can do.
Speaker 5 (17:07):
They kind of play like, okay, we we made it
because you know, we are the best network team right now.
Speaker 6 (17:13):
So I don't know.
Speaker 5 (17:14):
It was a yeah, a bit disappointing because I didn't
see like the like fire into their their fit to
kind of run hard and play hard and even if
it's the friendly but and he was, you know, to
get ready for the Gold gup, but he was not
really the best preparation for them to get ready for
this tournament.
Speaker 2 (17:32):
No, they looked disjoin it. I didn't see any kind
of identity. So the Gold Cup's going to be very interesting.
But the most interesting thing about US soccer right now, guys,
is Mark Polistic versus Lennon Donovan. That is so far
the best story I have seen coming out. Mark Polisic
using chat GPT to snap back at Landon Donovan. Adam
(17:54):
your laugh and I know you rd it, you saw it,
your thoughts because I'm personally on politic side right now
because I don't like Landon Donovan. I don't know what
it is about him. I just don't like the face.
But Adam, your thoughts on a Mark pollisics use the
chat GPT for slats for clotbacks.
Speaker 3 (18:12):
I think America.
Speaker 4 (18:14):
One of the greatest issues American soccer has is that
our mediocrity has been so tremendous throughout the decade that
Landon Donovan.
Speaker 3 (18:22):
Is important to us.
Speaker 4 (18:25):
Because I can't like and he's scored some incredible goals
for US. I remember the goal against Ghana in the
World Cup. I remember a lot of his contributions. I
have a Landon Donovan US jersey somewhere in that closet
in there. Shut up and like, I'm really really exhausted
(18:46):
by former players and former like national team players coming
on and absolutely trashing this generation of players. I do
believe there are some points of merit, and I do
believe that what Seba's saying is right.
Speaker 3 (19:02):
The hunger is not there.
Speaker 4 (19:04):
I equate it to when Madden got the exclusive NFL
license for video games and then they didn't have any
more competition, So Madden hasn't been the same level of
a game since. Once you realize you're kind of locked
into that position. I think a lot of these guys
have been coasting ever since. I know Weston McKenny and
Polistic and Jedi and all these guys believe no one's
(19:26):
ever going to take their spots, so therefore they're just
hanging out. In fact, the only person who's ever had
themselves truly challenged was Geno Renna, and that was for
a multitude of other reasons.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
So all this to say, I'm really exhausted by.
Speaker 4 (19:42):
These guys, these former players, is being like, well, back
in my day, we had more love of the badge,
we had more dedication.
Speaker 3 (19:49):
And all that.
Speaker 4 (19:49):
When Landon Donovan is documented for taking sabbaticals, for taking
time off, and for being a pain in the ass
too many people on the mL, on the US national
soccer team, this is Carly Lloyd with less hardware to me,
And that's really what annoys me about this is just
shut up. You're not helping, Like do you believe that
(20:10):
by saying these words, you're lighting a fire under the
butts of the US and the players, Like do you
think you're the next Alexi Lawless who is going to.
Speaker 3 (20:17):
Just draw them out via shame?
Speaker 4 (20:21):
If this team is not good enough, this team is
not good enough, and if their passion is not there,
their passion's not there. But you complaining about these guys
not wanting it as much as you did when we could.
Speaker 3 (20:31):
Tell not all the time you wanted it Landon.
Speaker 4 (20:35):
It's it's just it's really disappointed to me, and it
really just reeks of not jealousy, but it just reminds
me of like, Yo, Landing, your time in each in
Europe was five and a half minutes, like you had
a cup of coffee and it wasn't a good one.
You know, we have people like Polistic who were actually
making contributions to Ti Milan and Juventus with McKenny and
(20:57):
guys who were winning trophies and championships, and you're barely
making it a fulm. It just reeks of jealousy and
an aptitude and I'm just like, shut up, my guy.
Let them fail, but I don't need to hear your
voice while they're failing.
Speaker 2 (21:10):
Say that's the vote number two for Mark Polistic. Sebastian,
did you see the the extreme between Christian politic stat
Mark and Lendon Donovan online?
Speaker 6 (21:20):
Yeah I saw it, and yeah, I mean I'm kind
of like with with that. I'm on it. It's just
as an explayer as well.
Speaker 5 (21:26):
It's the same when I talk, you know, to the
Union and when I'm on the radio and if they
don't play well or whatever, I'm not you know, just
talking about oh I did that and whatever. It's I
kind of know it's it's a struggle sometimes, you know,
you don't have the best game, so you always try
to be on the side of the player, especially you
have been one of them, so I understand that.
Speaker 6 (21:46):
Yeah, sorry London. You never had a career, you know,
in in Europe like those guys.
Speaker 5 (21:51):
You went on little down here and there during the
MNS break during the winter, but you decided to stay.
So you know, you cannot talk. You don't know why
it is to be under pressure like this more than
six months. So yeah, it's I'll be disappointed for me
to say that, especially being you know who is in
(22:12):
the US you know, national team and as an icon
for of people doing each time in the league.
Speaker 2 (22:19):
It's unanimous four team Polisic. But yeah, anyhow, so that's
that's the drama. We're gonna watch. The Gold Cup begins
and it runs until July sixth, so we're going to
be well, we'll see who we're missing. Let's get into Charlotte.
We've got eighth place Charlotte coming into town June fourteenth.
(22:39):
The future head of US Soccer, Tommy Wilson is bringing
his his group in, so it'll be good to see
Tommy pre game, not during the game. And we will
be missing Dre, HARRYL Danley, and Quinn, but Charlotte missing
two big ones. Patrick and Tim Riemer are going to
be gone from Arlotte, so they're missing their star forward
(23:01):
and their best defender. It's going to be an interesting game.
And seven I were talking before. Out of the four
we're missing, I go, Danlee is probably the biggest hole
we have to fill in them maybe neat right now,
I'm not even saying Andre Blake's the biggest miss or Quinn,
which I'm shocked at. But yeah, so guys, who wants
to do a little preview with.
Speaker 4 (23:22):
Charlotte, I mean, real quick, it's just it's simple enough
where what you said is one hundred percent correct. I
think Rick has proven himself a capable goalie in Major
league soccer as of right now. I mean that being said,
he is allowed a clunker. You know, I can say
that and he can let in four goals, and I
don't think my sentence is any less true. You know,
(23:44):
I think he's proven that he's ready for the big
time here. So look, Andre Blake is better, and Andre
Blake is when you have him, you are a better team.
But I don't believe the fall off is but so
big now where you feel this is now a game
in peril.
Speaker 3 (24:04):
Same thing I think.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
I think Danley is one of the best players that
we had. I think that signing doesn't get enough credit
even to this point of what that was in terms
of trying to find the replacement for Jose Martinez and
really solidify that midfield. So I think that was really
a really good piece added to the equation. Quinn Sullivan's
(24:25):
on fire, So I mean, I think we're gonna miss
in a little bit more than then we think, But
I do believe in the depth that we have up
top so that that will be something.
Speaker 3 (24:34):
That will be mitigated. But yeah, Quinn, but this look,
go get the points here and is my philosophy on.
Speaker 2 (24:40):
This exactly Semashian your thoughts on upcoming Charlotte and even
looking at.
Speaker 5 (24:45):
This one, Yeah, I it's a perfect time to take them.
And again, even if we are missing you a few guys,
I think you know that is quite strong and he
just will hopefully show us again that it's not just
eleven players, it's.
Speaker 6 (25:00):
A full group is going to get a result.
Speaker 5 (25:01):
And out of the two squad between Charlotte and Philly,
I think even if we are missing four players and
they are missing just two, I like our chances. I
like the way you know the team has been playing
when somebody needs to step up, so hopefully, you know,
we do it from the first minute. He's been a
long break, and you know we need to get three
(25:22):
points at home after another you know break after that game,
and then two away game against Columbus and Chicago, which
are going to be two tough games because both of
those team are arguing in Chicago. What seven two in
DC or something like this, like seven to one. Yeah,
so and then have all all of their best players
as well. So yeah, big game. But it's yeah, I
(25:44):
feel like we have we have. I feel good about
the game. And somebody else knows stepping up and taking
the role of Queen Sullivan and then lead the midfield
together win.
Speaker 3 (25:55):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (25:55):
I'm looking forward to it. I think it's gonna be
a good game. Guys should be a little bit more arrested,
gear back up to go and continue this run that
we're on. All right, well, we're gonna put a bow
on this on a couple couple of housekeeping the LA
two soccer summer camp July twenty first to the twenty fourth,
while with Crest seven.
Speaker 5 (26:13):
Still room, yep, still room, still room.
Speaker 6 (26:16):
So yeah, hurry up.
Speaker 2 (26:19):
Adam, you're bringing Leo down to develop that left foot.
Speaker 4 (26:24):
I don't even know what foot he has yet, that's
how young he is, but we will figure it out.
If it is a left foot, I will cultivate the
hell out of that though.
Speaker 3 (26:30):
Don't worry.
Speaker 2 (26:32):
And Adam the Hotbirds Hot Bird summer.
Speaker 4 (26:35):
Oh man, I wish I could talk better about us
for now three and four after being three and oh
because you know, the doggy dog world of the UFA
is intense. But we have a beautiful matchup against the
Pittsburgh Thunderbirds for the Commonwealth Cup that is somewhere in
my house right now. I can't see it. But yeah,
that'll be this Saturday at six pm on watch UFA TV.
(26:58):
And we're gonna have a live game on NBC Sports Philadelphia.
Speaker 3 (27:03):
On June twenty eighth, so you know, set your calendars.
Speaker 2 (27:06):
When when's the next home game that that game.
Speaker 3 (27:08):
That will be it June twenty eighth will be our
next home game which will be also Cultural Heritage Night.
Speaker 2 (27:13):
