" big difference in the second half from the first it was the spark that got even as gallant."
" I think when dead at this summit Fannie and I have announced that it will be -- the benefit that Bennett and a laptop we can't go to the moment they send him. And that and that Texans aren't and I second -- and I have a lot we keep the blog -- we had more chances of that's very got the -- to me just give the Barnett that that's the lowest."
" Hard to think about next week how huge is that mentally to have this went in the Ford Fusion -- mean the other problems right now -- in that moment. We want to get she wants him to have equipment especially he didn't have a great tennis and but that it might violently -- each one can. Get you want that film that get back in the Eastern Conference but I think --"
" Q well he's gone and hour and a setback of -- It's very rare that we see. Male walk away from our Kristina Akra Wells Thompson earned it with that great -- great job Christina thank you right gentlemen salary. And wells and we welcome you into the Booth on this resurrect. -- has won three in a row you you you would say that they played as well the night as they did on Sunday or even last Thursday in Seattle but it is a good second half effort. And they -- the business."
" Another cup the business done over the coaches we've got happy with the performance overall I think they'll be glad that the mentality in the constitution's second half and it's it's one more sort of piece of evidence that you need that target men up top to really compete. Against the big defenders that are in this league you need -- sorry Joseph up there. Guitarist Eric house -- when he gets healthy again that'll be another big -- presence of top they really need that."
" Like Tarzan cast is not a lot of tonight but that they wanna get him fully fit and particularly the pilots are really not able to deal early on with the -- there. But in the telecast -- Arturo Alvarez is Nike for the defense on several occasions starting very early. Which is amazing -- run in the first the first 45 belonged to -- them the good example of him coach coming through flawlessly path want to people. The video that again a little bit later he makes both they the high bid for the waits it waits and have the shot that -- Hillary certainly fit. More Alvarez against rookie Alston backing off respecting the ability -- that he keeps his belt after all went down and want the last few heads briefly on frame Redfield. Well there but is it different second half. Great flick on header just because it's this. Golf business. Little tough but in the back of the net very -- took the cable on it could -- a little quicker the better fluids that wouldn't do posting up the live up top. The role they did great run. Midfield this time. Ralston and Wells Thompson. Does it by himself here. The yard and -- within. Far post great shots and really over the death of the defenders to -- just a little stutter step to the right but the inside of the left. That has the space with the into the fourth vote. The -- out shot San Jose right ten to five margin in the second half so really a tale of a."
" If you periods there -- down Saddam they'll be unhappy as you said during the live telecast Greg. With a giving up the late goal in stoppage time that is that was you know really the only blot on the top book in the second data was very very late the second game."
" A row that they've given up a goal last week it was only goal on Sunday that relate goal to ruin the shot out but you know we talked about the defensive -- organization a lot better again. -- they held the type for very long time Ramon Sanchez gets the goal the last minute. Was all alone no one applying pressure -- even actually overheard Matt -- when he was walking off the field after the game. Talking to assistant coach -- Williams and -- There was no water around a while wasn't so. Around well I will say this now at the reds are scoring 23 goals a game it doesn't hurt nearly as much -- to give up one of those late goals. -- email questions from our viewers tonight first -- from Jonathan how do we think that players react or how does the style change. Which already Joseph goes up top before. All the players react by scoring goals but won the tournament. Basically what it is that the confidence that you complain that ball up into his into his chest into his feet he's going to be able to hold onto the ball. Fighting off the defender. We heard both Thompson talking about then he can spread it wide and that's the reaction that really comes -- plated him. The defense collapses on him in -- you can get a wide out to the guys were open. -- more emails Larry asks. Do we feel that -- will get serious most valuable player consideration in the league why he always seems to be. In the mix it hasn't gotten you word yet at some point he asked to write -- mean at some point you have to start -- about sorry Joseph of being an MVP candidate. As more than just that when we talk about at all times at this time when he really has to do it you know -- that the year I think when he's having such a good season. It's up to us the pundits on the outside to recognize. You know what he deserves serious consideration for the perennial All-Star perennial best eleven but it lot of thought into how the team does absolutely. We talked about it during the game -- how many points to the reds need in September to secure a playoff spot well because you never known how many. Points teams are gonna gain or lose because draws obviously when -- split the points there's no exact formula. Doing the permutations people's I think route 42 may be 43 this year. You know image if you were saying -- from broadcasters between forty and 43 I think it's going to be on the high in -- some people I've talked -- that you might need 45 to secure a spot. I think it's probably going to be around 43 -- elements of nine games left you. You -- there in the standings in nine games left 33 points that they -- ten points out of 2747. Available. Very doable for the ribs and a good position. You know building it's new it's not that far behind Chicago that they could start to catch up with Chicago. And get that second place position in the Eastern Conference that there the next right now having won three in a row let's hear -- to head coach Steve Nicol had to say about the game."
" Yeah I mean we didn't. Wouldn't hold the ball well -- stuff. You know which. In August is a combination of you know bibles which to look in the you know Canada don't battled the optional. And we felt. Phil -- a little bit so they can do you know chicken -- single agent who can get involved invokes. To the change in induce you to trying to. Clinton -- If two guys at the puck and the more pressure really but also to try and hold the Volga. I don't think you'll. It. Enemies in -- set of fullness you know we knew we gonna -- will not suffice -- double trouble looks. So quietly enemies how to explain to animate it real difficulty case. In many passes to -- is this going. And so number one we use going to be elated. Prelude to the stage of the season you know it's it's a good result. You know we -- any points. Clinton silky -- was against he get points for winning the stage India. And we completed well is he intent and then it's fantastic. And we want to know when. Longer they have reached -- the game between their indices and you don't wanna go play well. Blended the excess of the results now. Really deserve that you know he east. -- obviously with two people in every week. And the only thing it it's -- him was to keep walkin' on it and you know week it's on its and you give it four months ago Illinois don't you know we -- he's in great condition. And he's taking chunks. And not just -- stabilized regularly. Deserve to play up that last week."
" Yeah right I decided to back up."
" Well that she wasn't getting into position defensively. And when you had. We need to do the least keep that. You know keep that -- so tournament -- Nepalese hosts in the UK he's actually gets to global him. Those. -- and couldn't take it. -- Well you know Kelly is it tough to find solutions and its -- 1015 minutes the it was a ball again. You know when you can be sure I don't feel that's fun stuff playoffs consumed. The book -- for Ozal. It was a danger to the problem."
" But you. Steve -- his thoughts on the game -- be pleased with the with a W if there are some things he says Greg. That weren't perfect but we get another email from. Or Gordon who writes to us from Ireland is from the UK Liverpool fat just start to -- the risks -- much better second half. And he was -- out of -- tries to bring off to bed but what do decision as he says it all change official are just so that viewers agree. Steve Nicol was -- to talk about that what sorry Joseph brought when he did come on to be able to hold on the ball applying a little bit more pressure on the guys in back. -- do they can apply pressure when he when they have the ball and defending but the real pressure on -- backs that are on Centre back especially. When you have a retarded guy who's going to be battling for every single ball and you haven't nice clever player like Ralston. He's making that run off of that and that's how they linked up the first go."
" All right Greg well the -- now move on to play the Kansas City Wizards here at home week from tonight. Provider readable failing to -- in the family or packing food for tickets four hot dogs for soda or pop or free parking. And fireworks start to 68 dollars call 1877.
