" It's easier moon met with Brad -- deliberately what. Yeah yeah. In the next you'll behind the scenes pastor of the New England Revolution and the world of Major League soccer exclusively on revolution -- dot net -- all of now he yeah. -- years. Brad Phelps live."
" Three well how about that. Risk our lives their last game. In the playoffs next. And while it was the dominant performance. Over the San Jose earthquakes. Race showed it you know what do have the ability to win. When they're not on their a game and a full credited to Steve -- for some tackles and made. -- first goal came nowhere. To be fair. Reflect on better by issuers slate -- miscue. Rolls his class the -- and -- other class with a goal by Wells Thompson now leads elastic. -- 67%. Over David Beckham's. Strike and super Klesko. By the way most people I know you know David Beckham did not mean to bounce on the way he did. I thought he did -- across the -- about job is prettier. You know the Italian lacrosse opens up news. Makes -- gold digger. There's disease he has expect sixers bounced and it makes news or -- Wednesday -- that goes on on target but it. Soccer players and -- clothes were so. Anyway well was did mean -- for the fourth quarter and Internet game winner of the late goal is cause for concern. And -- here to help us analyze the game on on the Saturday and in the -- prospects going forward managed just back in the mix. At least this week -- for an -- have."
" Of the Boston Globe Franco -- It yes so there was there was access to cameo appearance have been here couple times -- summer that you actually the game's story you you know I know what you wanna know if you're back on the deep into the short answer is no right."
" Right at the short answer -- longer slightly longer answer would be that you know there -- transition that the globe and a it -- Should be Beckham will be in -- next season and -- stability at this year but she's she's gonna phase in the do more patriots stuff so so we'll this sort of sign of the what's gonna happen in the future."
" Okay so we will see -- around more than we have yet the last year that's great to hear and a what what what what -- your overall thoughts in the game obviously keep good role going you know the game you know is sorted tale through hands."
" Yeah that's right. You know certainly -- for all basically in. Into what there was a problem guys and so. In you know they. They were but not -- revolutions and happy a couple of adjustments and really. Change is around the world -- we did see you sort of get some of that in addition out of that would detect like you use should be."
" Yeah I think that's -- a good point and it's it's part it's just taking people while taking the shots one thing by. You know you heard the twentieth minute interview with Steve -- and he was frustrated at the -- weren't getting wells the ball to put pressure on your browser Africa early or part of part of that is I think. Wells' teammates confidence in. His ability to people want."
" Probably. -- those things. The world just just go right at guys and then I think you know. After was sure he can do that it is expected it would do more things in. There's another question originally in east coast they can -- he hasn't had -- You know as well I think that's what -- does -- their career a little bit and you know that you I was really good because. You know that's the kind of thing that you know he just he can think about that who instinctive they. You know -- accused. So that a theory is just part of -- a moment just gold for."
" Hey Greg Wallace did point out that he'd taken a couple long range shot to his right foot in in the first half so he -- think in the long shot but he did not instinctively pull the trigger with his ostensibly weaker foot."
" Angela what things were -- in the you know prison break which -- you know you'll wind up you and he hit it could it and you know you -- appreciate it left -- Look over this posted that you do that I thought that was you know clear pure one it is part."
" Now do you think that he now is per presumptive starter. You know and the Steny came on they weren't having the spots that he took office which is wing. Payments -- has been on the benefit and in large part because his performances -- as a result of an ankle injury which we presume there's heal sooner rather than later so. You know memories -- Castro as a big game the knots over again how you think the wing shape shape up for this next thing you know 45 game stretch."
" As reported that talks it is it that would -- do options you know and you know it was for the it was Kansas City. I mean that's that's -- actually yeah actually. Also originally so in the future and get him about it. The second one goes right in world laughed. As well that's another option -- year -- also. Good point -- they -- the conditions -- a lot department. Is it they're worried that. We want well -- in the raid. Should be more slugfest you know it is your right. After coaches. With put it should be better conditions and and a team that's down Kansas City in the world who would. Some sort of covered this area once."
" They what they they want I'd have to watch out for those instances that he frank is Hercules Gomez who always -- to -- to good spots in the ribs aren't disciplined internal tracking back. Gomez cheats but he's effective against -- as -- cheats and that means the you know the who whether it's Marie's you know hours and the Orwell's or even -- can't cheat against him."
" The point there -- And upon -- certainly unfortunate. -- unfortunately Hercules and."
" Well I don't -- always it was over the ball. From -- I don't know if we -- much defensively other than that rather than trying to kill. That was. In hindsight especially it's usually. Pretty silly because who's our contacts that hasn't been -- routers between these teams over the years and as stupid is as Gomez is tackle wasn't Ralston there's a gamer earlier this year. How is that when the reds lost 31 after it was Eric hearted I don't think you -- the game for England you're on TV. But early in the game when Ralston had a shot at Gomez took Eric Gomez you know with the -- tackle those comparable in force. And witness to what Gomez put on him and it is sort of obviate the need for any of them than not since it went off last October so. You know it is anyways I think that's that's behind this but I well still looking at San Jose and maybe not just the sanity of the holes are -- this season. Even though obviously there as one has salary dose of playing in central midfield role. Is there any doubt anymore that he's even as a sort of understudy or third option you know if he's one of the best target -- an MLS even if it's not his preferred position."
" It's good point yeah I mean he is you know I really think that as well you know what it's all over importer that reportedly -- You know that versatility is just one more -- personal -- ever so we actually I think he. He can -- You know -- should be part of their because so he wore one of two it's legal problems such as you know. He would open the -- that's sort but he you know. Did defended that's what they -- put it yeah yeah I think those. Thirty minutes or every he put his -- you know you really was effective. And not just not as -- when it would also like that but also. You know just hold the ball well with the goal rude crude --"
" What we're hearing about Ed -- is how close do you think he is and how important you rated him as being to the -- chances going down the stretch."
" Yeah I -- a class player -- Steve Nicol. Suggested that he's -- we weren't physically. These classes he's he's physically. Just about perfect in this week you -- strong and after the open big enough and that he's got a really good coaches and just just wouldn't you know those little. Subtle things that. Figured to general we have in the weeks. I think he's really good opportunity that was beaten with a -- with it about it with quality out you know it's it's -- Lot of upside of this team that they can. Some guys back which is starting to do."
" Tactic of completely agree if it cigars and tells this is healthy for the playoffs or it presuming they make the plans are these healthy down the stretch. Then the rest have have have a chance to do something because. I agree with your Frankie. He's a guy who you feel like if you was a little bit less injury prone would still be playing for you know immunity -- even when the big leagues and in Europe because. Like you say you don't see many 64 target men who -- comfortable on the ball. It can hold up with a soft touches you so Obama. You know I think he's very important word I think -- it's in the and the proposal because you know wondering began coming back and they they clearly weren't happy the way you play against --"
" You know -- he really yeah. What did you do it slow it just he stood up we have the whatever. It I guess so that was good part of it is because. He doesn't get so open it isn't to consult with -- colonel parker and so. Rupert coaches -- would across the ball. There's a -- said that. Can you please get tired you know maybe that's just give -- performance that are."
" I hear it's on for you fracas comes from. Listener breadth not breath -- another Brad writes in. Jose's been very impressive and much improved in the central defense what's the difference coaching to reduce risk taking. Risk taking with the ball more established communication with his fellow defenders -- let -- quickly I think both those factors Fred mentions. Are important that your risk taking with the ball -- where passes at the back -- you know try to control under pressure is only team. And yet inevitably over fifteen games are gonna improve the communication you with Islam is language skills and I think both of those things have gotten better. But I also the -- always a good one on one defenders is defending better in the team. Concept now we are your thoughts right."
" Yeah and I think he's starting start -- record it and I hit a little bit of -- And then -- it is so bad because of the communications or pork in this. You'd just very aggressive and -- that but you know I think he was really really effective yeah coupled with is that. Yeah that the incident sort of fit into the team concept refugees. He's. He could record -- that you can conveniently. Stewart -- struggled picnic."
" Yeah this issue with how long it's taking get real -- get back to fitness as I was always the plan -- you're gonna have Albright on the right and you know the idea in the central defense of both those guys and how long terms of the fact that the two rookies have -- and and and Jose comes out of nowhere. Really. It is really chances -- whole complexion this season so. Tigers -- another email question. -- is worth addressing although the particulars are different both cases there -- ago given -- shut out -- last two games. Frank I think the coaches -- approached the problem and and the players which is really one in the same in this case."
" Craig report that going to be okay so their transition. Generally isn't really bad things to do with -- problem now if you win the -- to their community were from the he'll -- political aspiration thing you know and I -- young guys and you know that you -- these these long seasons. You know what accounts -- you know that that experience ever achieve -- what can happen there. You know probably pay off the party we get along and hopefully this season for them."
" There -- I agree. Now the reds have you know after Kansas City this sort of -- charmed life always home games. Changes the only three of the last. Eight after that our home -- some typical way trips coming up in the short term. You know. US USA aren't where they were 23 months ago. The resort on the better of them but it's still you know one of those fire and half our flights. And you know it is tricky. You know -- the -- had some good you know Western Conference -- way wins like Seattle and Houston but it's a tricky trip and then also New York. All of us are on the bounce because the put a coaching change they want to in a row and and and that's never easy -- they've got one -- long held back complain well."
" Yeah there is completely there mean revolution doesn't go very well at Giants Stadium but you know it. That circus -- in this newly decorated with dean Richards also played really well. I'll go back and you'd be. Do you know they've got a lot of new guys that nobody apparently removed completely could be. The talks tough opponent you know there's -- new life you know that's how he's. -- achieve almost wrote that you -- now there really are indeed. I don't I don't think -- there you know. Much much better than they used to be in the old days. Do better protect there'll. Quote politically take these states."
" Well yes it's a more organized league top to bottom terms of you know tactics and -- it's more like a real league it. When we look back you know another twenty years frank -- if it's really going to be apparent how. How green and house are wide open things were those first unify the years because like any Leo I think he went back to the English Leo look pretty wild and -- OPEC. To that it is very beginnings of that as well so. You know I I agree with you -- although I will say. You know is giving full credit to the -- for winning against Real Salt Lake and San Jose a look at those teams that I I feel like. Right now there there's not enough to go around you know I mean in terms of quality players. You know within the boom resources that the teams especially ones that don't have DP. Resources. It seems like. You know it's a couple players -- difference between being a contender or not and if one or two guys go down you make -- wrong draft choice -- the wrong guy away. Then you're out of the mix you know I mean like some of these teams look thin. On the ground and makes you wonder what's gonna happen when Philadelphia Vancouver and in Portland coming next over the years."
" You know income figure out a way I think to get a little more resourceful well into the equation because it is -- without. Caught with -- and Cortland. No -- differently -- they would their integrity."
" The hobbies and bet com he's been bad you do -- When he compared expectations anyway."
" You know that could be that still noses is that a couple of guys who would've been pretty good team and still be in good good good in the Albany -- here. In noble -- and put it look incidences. It's that close that -- got to got to figure out ways certificate."
" Well I think that's sort of my point oh right okay Cornell Glen is a guy who's. You know -- with a lot of fanfare he's tornado for Trinidad in the Trinidad in week. But never really done the business in MLS he's those guys who sprints in behind his the clear and fires -- for me he's has never been the guy who delivers on. On his ability and condi is a guy who may have peaked at 21 you know like I could go wrong. But you know I've never been a big buyer of him you know -- it's like left handed pitching the united it's always an in demand that you know he's left -- player. I -- a little bit light weight but they put a lot of that basket you know I mean and they you know I don't know is exact number is the relative salary cap yeah they took a little chance and then the economy's going to be good talking to San Jose people the fact comedy and parker -- haven't it is good they lost Lima. And those and and and now they're just not as good as they were they had to get rid of Cochran and Garcia threw -- defenders are counting on and that's enough to change about your season."
" You know and so when you -- resourceful. How much more resourceful and you get they're combing the rain forced to Central America -- they're going to West Africa as small countries. Where other teams goes out like began via. You know I mean. And taking to be very fair flotsam and jets in the the European clubs haven't side. But where else are you gonna go next Azerbaijan. Rwanda. Will run -- a country for a."
" countries. But it is really to have to move farther farthest -- you know. He's been eastern Europe you know sort of America yeah I don't mean I mean. I think the commitment has to be there you know it's fiction you have to go that far it goes -- because. Legislators. You're kind of crossover just -- you're never gonna get that -- graduate of America's so. You're you're you're getting third line guys and openness you know they can or guys that are past their pride and hope that they can somehow. You know make it yeah it is I guess which is to better or with a little more money."
" Well there I was in to say I've said on this air before but when you say we get more resourceful than that picky picky picky. You know syllables error resources so. You know that's. That's it comes down to -- hate to say the ownership doesn't want me to say it but that's that's the truth of the matter and it doesn't have to be huge multiple the current number but he does have to keep expanding -- not. Yeah it's has expanded. Well I'm out there doing negotiating for the players -- on the show but I think everybody takes I -- pretty well. It either adding three more teams and the powers that be at the we need to know that they need to you know that the ownership level border governors level. Like guys know the can't you know you know you pay for -- very competitive world -- market."
" What exactly right it's you know it's absolutely. Quality control issue right now does ski -- if they want basically and got. That's you know whatever that's that are reflected in the yes I think in the north. Last you know you're into the coveted post fans actually you know our sophisticated enough to know that they're gonna demand you know that these teams. You know produce of these kind of with Seattle's got here and you know hopefully they can do that."
" Well yeah and you know why and that shows -- that can be done well you know certainly see -- investment news delete coming in -- do I don't know how he managed to get Gaza Brad Evans account you know be unprotected for the -- For the expansion draft. But he also the resources to bring in a good VP like -- younger who has contributed they had you know our founding player in Kasey Keller has made a big difference. But let me just say this I think it's past the point now where it's just. Sophisticated soccer markets like you -- Boston Chicago Seattle Toronto the demand good soccer. It's not 1996 I think that's these are caught the league by surprise is that this digital television explosion was gonna bring. Every Major League in the world. Into the homes of people so they can comparison shop and -- people who I don't think have any right to be returned to the soccer stuff you know it's like I talked youth coaches and you know in -- my circle of friends -- what we only watch you know arsenal is literally watching arsenal. That we've got nothing to talk about but later used each day Leo if you watch it you know Europa league game with Andrew electors -- like that you tell me. That that better MLS teams are that far off of that level I don't think so."
" Right well. You do have the choice war in leadership. You know those of --"
" Her and hurt in -- it hurts them -- as it helps the sport. But I'm not sure it in her and it helps MLS in a week in week out basis if you see what happens when those teams show up to play it MLS facilities -- crowd of 4050000."
" What. It was to -- but I think. Look at the reality we recognize it and try to. He looked it up a notch wouldn't be knocking -- the leadership to walk. In community. Doesn't mean he can't. No -- in you have to make it better -- talk about well."
" And more and consistently better I think it's a good bet to bet the best. At its best analysts is very good but you spread the resources then and you're gonna have less consistency I think."
" So I can of the black elected they'll war eastern. Conference finals Grozny as these -- that was dated the revolution really cute page. There was there was one that is apparently making. That the Eastern Conference final."
" Favorite game I ever called. Even though we lost the Arabs lost again."
" Yeah cricket and you know I mean there's no reason fact that you have been put it like it really is like -- we corporal quite often. In and I can't be done you know then then he got so open and Eudora it goes dozens and dozens standard Garrett you -- report and a piece he's -- those standards earlier earlier on in the league and in -- some other teams of have come up and tried to match that. And -- that's that's when -- court I'm not sure that. The league is doing everything that the chances to make sure that happens."
" All right frank will leave you the last word there appreciate the time and good to have you back in the mix if not on the beat and we'll talk to you real soon and frank till up. -- in the business very lucky to have in this market's been.

" Happy to -- and I the other side of the class -- yes there is I can reach news and your on the other side the last.

By group named fabulous. And came across that this summer. I don't know I just though fewer -- in my it's my time to dock."
" Okay -- yeah -- well you you don't get to talk a lot of appear on the -- the whole game. And if you served an apprenticeship Ricardo learning on the job where people can see your mistakes you certainly went through that. You'll on the revolution games of the patriots games -- if if you're off by a few seconds especially the pats game but any any live event here at the stadium. -- you're under some pressure."
" Yeah -- with the average fan doesn't know ways. From my -- Standing or standpoint down on the field I'm trying to put together an event that that runs flawlessly from. The music that were playing pre game for the music that we play at half time -- replays that we're allowed to show that we put up on the video board. You know that that's the big things that people -- in the notice you know we showed the wrong -- the league of their missiles -- you know that's controversy can't show that. On the smaller set of people don't necessarily know -- in that pregame period. You know. We have a timeline that scripted to the second. You know if we know that the games kicking off at 73630. Exactly. And the national anthem has to happen at 730 to thirty begun by 73430. Because that was communicated to the broadcast partners and stuff like that if work off on that. He can -- break early and it just it has a ripple effect across many fronts that the average person watching game does."
" Now yeah well I can tell that from experience is one of the teams that wasn't you guys in the game two Davids I've wanted to do is late coming locker room and I could talk for an extra two minutes and you know that have trouble doing doing times those those whose taxing. I if you guys do great job and there's so much it goes into the not just actual live execution but the pre production and making sure you know you guys have added. Things like elect not to pump videos which you've always had here Richard you know I think you're better than anything else is your -- but also specific videos or some of the rival teams talk about that'll."
" And what we try to do this year's -- Build on the -- or a little bit and we all know how have DC United's fans feel about UN and the revolution in general. So I give my own video next year chair that's a the -- we try to do is you know show those moments. You know from gains against the Houston Dynamo we all know the revolution's history with the Houston Dynamo and things that it happened over the course a year which I won't get into. But you know. Showing some of those moments in a way that he's here fan in the stands here watching -- you know what. I hate those guys and I'm gonna make here at every opportunity I have today I'm gonna cheer loud and I'm gonna do my best help the reds as the twelfth man. Cheering from the stands and getting getting involved and --"
" You're going a bit that is why -- Theo we'll point out that that's. Also in the larger context of her server reenergize refocus. Lancet today to to boost. And authenticate. In stadium experience has been a part of the you know from the the bang Camaro. -- theme song to -- more soccer specific god type entertainments. It can get I know that some people are very familiar with the do you talk more of more about that."
" Jeremy what what we try to do is in the past and not to -- the past and anything like that. Now a lot of a lot of the entertainment that we try to do -- Was very geared across demographics so we were trying to appease. The youth soccer player we hear their parents who are here that teenage currently -- person who's here. Sending you would hear anything any team that would be from Joe Joe the Miley Cyrus to Bon Jovi Q. Tons of different music sample was tried to do this year is just try to opponent in it's something that. You know. If it is your taste in music you're not gonna be offended by here in standing -- gonna analysts and you know what I like I don't mind it. It's not what I would have my iPod right now. But you know what it's kind of cool it's -- beat its -- and -- lyrical. You know it's that it's a fun song and trying to create patent find the right mix has been the biggest. Project that we took on at at the conclusion last season and trying to put together play was that that -- that. You know. Not alienated certain group but. Almost opened their eyes to something that heavy walk away at a bingo. That's on the plate that was chemical bank Merrill came up you know. They were a local group who all of a sudden it has kind of exploded in and hit it big and -- ironically had a song called revolution. And after listening to a hearing to -- this song you know we sit you know we think a video of this we got in touch with their management group. People in the band. Our actual big soccer fans and you know they were excited about partnering with revolution and having this become an authentic for for revolution -- You know if they hit it big you know for example that the song that we play it at revolution in her before kickoff it's that somewhere pollution and -- just mentioned. That song actually this year. For the American football fans that is on the net and 2010 addition of the team that. Nearly combine now and every time I've heard that and trailers and stuff like that the first thing that pops in my head -- doesn't that the patents is a revolution."
" Right well as and it's great that you guys are able working out with the with the band and their management to have these are the anthem for the team this year and I. It shows that you know it's not bottom team that's top level you know big time contest now it's it because nowadays you know. If it's prime more important it is to be in Madden in terms or record sales there digital downloads and it is to be. On the radio the way music is distributed -- that that's a credit to you guys are working their relationship and and getting that into the mix. Now it's not just the songs over the over the PA over news we've had some great events there are a couple of concerts before the game you have them all kinds of wacky stuff people parachuting in and -- talk about some of those other sort of entertainment promotional things."
" We've done a couple different things you know through through the relationship with patriot place in the rock applause initiative which tried to bring some local bands to the stadium. Can create a pregame party in and start building that atmosphere earning and getting people involved. Com. Segment that. On the stuff when you're in demand -- producer and a and you know the the other thing that we've. We've tried to do is you know partner with some other groups to try to do things that. You know not just necessarily meet the objectives of the sponsors which is very important to us from marketing and sales perspective. It adds entertainment for the fans and and that's that's the biggest thing is is whatever we do. We want it to be entertaining and if it's you know we need to -- our relationship regretful. You know what can we do -- then that's exciting and fun and if urine -- yeah. That was the cool thing that it -- And what about this Saturday a fireworks from a -- we're doing it we have partnered with a company at New Hampshire how that was advanced higher tech next. Most of our fans probably seen them seen some involvement with them in the past that that. The revolution games up on the power in the south end zone you know notably during the national anthem and they say rockets' red glare -- couple -- and issued up. The for this one -- you'll see that you also see if we put on the net -- see some fireworks after that but the big thing is we're gonna do probably about a ten minute firework show. Following the game. That you know we hope everybody stays in their seats analysts around the stadium and become an off the S outside the stadium. In which to resurrect is done through -- on an -- than any interviews on the field. But it should be pretty good show and you know it's something that we look to view annually going forward and no let people market account of that and holiday weekend in September just a weekend in September and then Gillette Stadium you're gonna see some fireworks fourth July's RD pass but. Here's an opportunity until today."
" Labored so. Exactly so you know they'll be good distraction to present when she Roman candles critical roles in the Booth at the Sam Tyler -- this guy."
" It I think just touch on them we we did this year back to the video videos -- Brett was down. You know fortunately we've been very lucky with the play of the team lately and we've seen the -- back and Leo we spent a lot of time in the offseason. Coming up with these goals videos and posted on defend the fort that net back at the beginning the season after the home opener. What these videos where and now I've I've seen some mixed reviews and a lot of people say some of these videos look look like an iPod commercial. While I think as a compliment the go ahead I would say the style is similar to the iPod commercial. But. They're not -- the people who are in those videos.

Was the national stage and especially identified with his hometown. Kansas City Wizards Sean we'll -- joins us for the second time this season. We'll get them -- instrument."
" Read all the placement. And thank you for having me back."
" I think when we last spoke. It might have been hard you. To believe that. That occurred and also wasn't gonna make it to the finish line this season. It distancing seem like things are going that badly in back in June and I think that can the wizards were -- pollution in the table. You know the the the the beat them at home the plea the revolution dude who brought here to let steam and super -- And it was all the insert them you know the beginning of August they start to hear whispers that he might be one of the under pressure coaches along with so Juan Carlos -- And it surprised me because -- he wasn't done at the bottom of the table. Expectations. -- had -- had been raised Sean by his own success. Tears are making the playoffs at all and and they may be changed its season. How much of a surprise is that you."
" Well Brad I don't think it would have been a surprise at all -- at all so would have not been rehired and this is finally here is contracts so would not been retired operative caught back. It that -- did not reach the playoffs I think that was probably about a 100% guarantee. Also I think secret and also had to probably win at least the first round of the -- had the wizards got in his evidently -- they've done in the last two years blasters this that in. The reformers in memory the -- in the first round of the playoffs and you look at probably in 95% chance the -- and also is gone I was a little bit surprised that the timing but then. They came off of one of the worst performances in club history and I shouldn't. It's a bit around the Clinton's state when you're winded. I can't recollect more than four others in the history of the club dating back in 96 and talking about August 1. Looting six -- awaited Dallas it was embarrassing it was really embarrassing defeat. That was the end of -- also in Peter Hermes is a good friend of mine like cardinal thought dopey little better handle a little longer. That that the Burmese moves over from technical director job -- as interim coach in. He hadn't done any better for Peter Hermes losing to you know one -- and then. At one bill at home last Saturday night versus Israel so late in the -- an example what -- was and top 43 minute in. In the city -- and find the link through. Did they tell ethically bad it is for in the Brad 30 win in the last twenty matches in all competitions one goals in the last. Eight matches in all competitions."
" You know is that that there's a lot."
" It is firm knees. Not as a coach is obviously in -- things go exceptionally well down the stretch he's likely not going to be the man on the bench to start the year 2010. Is he is Burmese under under pressure. As. On the technical side because. You know in all of a certain amount of creditor blame has to go to the guy who we really had his finger on the trigger and in assembling the team. Yeah we we've at least at least from where it looks from the outside are more than the coached it."
" Well -- army certainly is responsible the technical director for hiring head coach. It's interesting situation because technical director means a lot of different things in the sport football and utilized different things in Major League soccer. Your technical director New England as a different role in the technical director Pete -- leaving in the city with critical who was in charge. But the army is head of all things on the football but on the soccer side. And that includes transfers for -- scouting hiring head coach. So when you look at some of the foreign players that were brought in -- cold bottle Corliss merit -- on for you did not perform exceptionally well. Maybe that falls back to -- birdies when you look at some of the trade that happened on now well Hercules Gomez you. He's been mainly it started this year it has been I think over achieved that I don't think he's done great."
" He doesn't as a -- does against the revolutionary."
" Yeah record book that's very true ending the compliment player and fair enough maybe that's so."
" Intended to deep intimate stories that compliment player. Eight Thompson who has struggled at times and get into the unions really that remain close to a place in the first eleven."
" That is treated in work at that well."
" Maybe that they respected universities but that apple look at a lot of the things that can burn is done which is now rehabilitate the brand in the city wizards."
" You probably have to leave in this town not -- to play by play announcer on television civic club but the live in this town. To see just how little it was in 20052006. When. They were going to be sold they were going to fold they were going to be suspended they had no home in. The army you know has been at the forefront of getting people excited about the wizards -- a tiny place 10385. Compact the community America ballpark but. It's usually at least within a thousand people of being full and what to -- with -- overall the wizards they haven't won a -- of Matt. Active in the last two and a half years certainly not secure but he played overall. I think it's fairly exciting brand of soccer probably more exciting and on the Bob -- In his last two years in charge of the club so."
" I'm not rated blanket parties I mean ABM -- because he's a good friend of mine but I think he's done a lot of things right he continues to get better."
" I don't know Peterborough is will be to head coach next year and -- Turkey once again next year. But I think it's just the battle walked it will be back its technical director and it doesn't go back full time. The technical director job bread then he's -- hires a coach."
" How is Claudio Lopez has been for you this year because he you know he looks like he can still pull the string in and changing game. That with one touch but his wheels are starting to go is that fair to say."
" Well it squarely into -- I don't think there's any question about that this is somebody who played two World Cup and Olympic Games Argentina."
" Played in Italy at the in the first division played. In -- different division play in Argentina in the first it is it's. He did the end of his career I think the best indicator of that is not what he's done on the field this year but the fact that he was willing to take game massive -- designated player status remained in the city wizards."
" He likes the club like the style of soccer they play I think influences I'm an analysis that we really like living the American midwest. If he's back next year I would think that probably is finally here with the club and I don't know what he really had planned he's a fairly private individually speak limited English as speak limited Spanish but even if the players between an everyday. I don't know that they really know what he wants to do. It seems to me like he's enjoying himself whole lot more -- than it was last stupid and last year he had. Net its expectations he should have been having according to what the wizards thought still look at take the year last year and he did not have this. Concord but prosecutor and a so look at -- go to eight year this year I think. He's been very I don't think he's been great I think he's been very good. It probably with the pressure off in the windows that he's -- and his career. Maybe he just enjoy himself and realized that he did not meet demand the lead the club been clearly is not in the man police club."
" We're looking at the way -- Kansas City sets. Is as a team right now you -- talked off line this week. John and and one of the things we discussed was that in the when you get as Jimmy Conrad the -- the fact we're doesn't inspire tremendous and competent competence you have. You know an untested rookie Julian and that these -- a miscast right back in. The little engine that could go Lance Watson everybody's favorite guy out there with beyond this you know that's a tough ask for for lance. And for me Manhattan you know when you no matter who will you put out there. You know whether it's you know Harrington user's personal -- whether somebody tells you that they're they're they're they're not that strong. At the back but that hasn't even really been the problem is six nothing against Dallas that the problem but there they're not scoring goals so -- you know where it is their responsibility lies there -- Arnault made the All-Star team he's -- call that he hasn't produced the way he has. You know at times in the past Adam Kristin you know he's a decent target -- he just back from injury. And then you know you're you look at guys like Gomez and -- very these are all observations you made that I'm looking at that the lineup right now. And you know you're where where the -- a couple of."
" that's a great question to your point about the defense I think Jimmy Conrad is having three defenders -- types these as -- it's him yesterday -- chances to -- I think you're getting. A lot more respect -- you realize currently because you're playing with guys who were really unproven you know -- level. Guys that you mention -- in the morning. Eric hold on internal emit their son attends the."
" None of these players are really proceed this first choice now met people hurt in this city kids from Notre Dame having a strong year but. I don't know how many clubs and MLS that he would be starting every single match. It's the that this situation where -- look at somebody like secret widely used in the Brandon rideau. -- Chicago and you think. These guys who will be starting for Kansas City it and number five -- number -- the -- even for their respective clubs. But now clearly the problem is not defenseman in the -- that have to do with Jimmy Conrad having. Excellent season by marketing department having a pretty good these."
" With the -- score line none of these are victories are right in the last eight matches that the wizards. One bill one bill bill bill one want located at six mil to -- one no one --"
" It's not the day if not the well that's why I asked about Lopez you know it. If he is expected to be the guy -- pulling the strings units not the guy finishing. -- how much of that. Falls back on him. You know Santiago rehearsing is really playing him more and deeper lying role but they want him to be more electric Pirillo that it could go to his rights -- there on the brain and around and and being the guy makes the past. To the guy makes that the killer."
" Well there's not that there's not one Eagles score on this club and."
" In spurts wolf I think he's done some great things on his date you looked about as it is nice strike and an -- but. Yet and we've been on is that he's been struggling with injury he was actually out through injury in the last match -- past week it was not even -- the -- I don't even pointless to -- wolf I think he's really over achieved this season. They're not been."
" level of service from the -- field and right now with the plate with two holding midfielders subject keeper Santiago is eight."
" We don't have that classic playmaker forget the old batch number and Brad is someone who can actually move the ball and currently make it. The URL I think is really -- being put up I think he'd be -- it -- indeed US international caliber when he and on the -- of the midfield. He can shoot from distance to get up and down like -- is that position the wizards don't have that luxury products sold on -- beat them on the area. He's played two matches both opposite and."
" So argue let."
" Come back and it is that so much -- an accurate that's a realistic possibility."
" But when you again look at the type of strikers -- your buddy Adam -- the projected to be."
" In the starting eleven and then really it had almost all of this the end of last month wiped out through injury eight ounces and mentioned has worked out. Hercules Gomez played a lot of topical route they've been playing in the white midfield."
" The witness just don't really have an answer to partner with -- wall. It may be put a little more pressure on Lopez although I think he's having -- season."
" But for me first and foremost the problem lies in the fact it is no creation in this -- from the field."
" Let me ask you this. You talked about them playing entertaining style of soccer at home that's that what we saw we are in Kansas a year earlier this year -- Oh win Kansas city's been here couple times -- looked very much. Effective. They've come out and and look you know to hit on the -- to look you know. To play for results. Their position now Sean could be brutally frank where they can't afford a whole lot more highs. Eighty to take three points or. In a couple weeks they'll be mathematically eliminated from the playoff race the way you know teams above them are piling up points right now. So do they they have. It's a meeting at the common to new England and opened up on Saturday."
" Well need to move -- next -- is at your place on Saturday and then awaited DC united on Wednesday that awaited new York and by the way. The -- of -- on Friday and they're not coming home until Sunday September 13. There aren't a lot of long road trips like that MLS at the very long road trip."
" If the wizards don't get in my estimation seven point from those three matches I think -- C dot. I think that they have to get at least two victories in the draw from those three matches."
" So the point now where you're right a loss but draw it really doesn't matter maybe more how -- it helps them a little bit the next couple of days of training that these but the points but. This in the club it's not looking for morale -- looking to get the playoffs. You have both now Bradley the crowd has played alongside."
" You had seven points in three matches he did very healthy you get nine point three match that you can pretty much resurrect this."
" That's the residue that's the resident."
" No question about that. So the wizards are not done yet. But again these three matches going itself does this really tell I think the story of the remainder of their seat and if they can make a play up what sort -- will punish me equally."
" And do you expect to see -- Josh wolf. Back in the mix you'll certainly be along for the ride the road trip which is a question of how Sunnis back to the story alive and and would you expect hole by. In it back in the back line over over Harrington who I always thought of that as an outside player."
" I'm not sure you'll be on hold by ambac and he's obviously going to make the trip everyone -- it was a."
" Is making the trip again because it's great matchup that said Kevin Souter is out through injury everybody is making the -- on it including off wolf as you mentioned. I think it Peter -- once they continue to go in the midfield with Matt he's I think he saw some good things. There were things and Eric hold mine mainly what he did with the ball at this speed when he was trying want to counter attack that of the universe -- probably was not and people it was a central defender at Notre Dame university in east really kind of miscast playing it outside back in his first MLS season. All -- may get its start I think -- at some point is going to get back in. I think he's probably 5050 right now the New England match in -- it's much better on the the united match since September ninth."
" Also the situation I think Brad where. Is Josh wolf can help the wizards and they have a chance to make the playoffs of course they're immediately begin to -- little quicker but if the wizards."
" Losing your place on Saturday visit rfk stadium and when they -- Walt stole a 100%. You really wanna put them and that type of situation in meeting the urgency is gone."
" All right well nobody has more insight. Into what the Kansas City Wizards are doing than you do shall we really appreciate their expertise and and the diamond -- port authority go for men."
" Shall we -- voice of the Kansas City Wizards great job. One thing is Sean certainly also Jason Horton great debut. As an actual yes. On this show we've heard time and over the years uses the -- remark. Who together get his thoughts on what he does and nobody knows this better. Then the -- we call. The doctor. I and -- upfront Franco Franco -- What a cool guy you know it's good to have him back. Restaurant so good lineup against and the risk keep the winning streak going three. On the dropped three of about 30 Sutherland right now and Kansas -- not do them do well you know that is the reds -- reds. Can pretty much I think very Kansas City. With that with the wind and eliminate one potential competitor for the bottom. Wild card spots. Reds are -- to the top two teams. You know if you look at the games in hand there the reds have a shot to win the east -- through 96 and six three games of 500. I get out again as he talked about there's a firework shows you we you know about the family four -- 68 -- pizza pop. Corn sodas hot box -- It's okay you wanna the other I you know me I would take both. Fast -- All right well it's a good value and its -- take on the Labor Day weekend. And there is ours yet. In form side analysts have come supported numerous if you listen to show you -- him again. All right that's that I got. Next week we we will be off to. Carol for -- Could be interest are talking."
