" You would met with -- Feldman deliberately what I saw. -- you'll be hiding the fact that New England Revolution the world of Major League record it school of Leon revolution occurred dot yeah. Now yeah yours Brad tells me."
" Power stuff. Knock that stuff -- opened up very well. And our mark. New York service. Took the initiative away I think its tactics. Buyers and certainly help that. Difference. I take issue with fans is. Trying after our I think it was in an effort question news question you know. Tactical adjustments. In the in York. Spot and there -- to nothing in that game. Him anymore but in and a and that way it goes up precious two point loss there you know and in the chase for the playoffs in the I think that the news the -- may end -- ruling. That result. On the line they they have to be do you think it doesn't get any of that I I do think -- good in some ways -- you -- can't -- back and -- house. On a little bit with their win over Dallas the fact that -- pretty much kill off makes it easier road trip you know go after Rio Colorado and they you -- sports Chicago's not. The X games ago all right joining us out Jack bell on the New York Times more time. Soccer writers now. Regular updates -- Jack on -- went well mental block. Very happy to have Jack back on the show for I believe the second time."
" Jack how proud and good it's my pleasure how you do it."
" Pretty good pretty good you know we had used to. At the stadium earlier this week and so everybody is -- one now from that does it take another headed down towards New York now. So you know can figure it. I went both Knight the second night I had them a much better seat. And you and I really got the full multimedia effects. I would say the first night it was good. Met expectations this recognize lose. Lifetime experience yeah yeah Yahoo!'s news. I'm a fan and so you know if you if you're neutral on YouTube and when -- how much that -- Google's -- expect."
" I'm a friend as well and an -- circuitry. -- this stage setup and looked it's safe to say at least."
" Yeah I it was in his looked a little overblown perhaps. I'm not sure. I'm not sure if the whole 360 thing was optimize. As well as it might have been if you read the review in the -- the other day. I think it's it's the same thing. Some did some reviewers that is the best use the Senate in effect they had since -- Who wrote the -- I didn't see. I think -- on the same show without the big spaceship sort of shell. And still had this you know the rotating stage in the and then in the video screens and had the same effect that they want to make a big impression -- They've you know angered a lot of environmentalists against the carbon footprint for -- that figure on the world. Anyway enough digress let's talk football first of all let me get -- state of the red bulls Richie Williams you know who. He's got results since he's taken over from scenario is if you think he's gonna be you know given a fair shake it to get that job for --"
" You know that's a really tough question product will be your minister Sheikh I think it can look at the results and they look at its relations with this players. And and and I kept feeling the typical for big name you know -- starts at that feeling Brad it. And you know. Not just rebels. Operational here pursuit of rebels operation in Austria. Salzburg. -- It's it's a big name coaches and they sort of -- go from there. So. You know and I think it's being driven from from Austria to a big degree PPT always. The European. Approaches to have a big name coach and there's a lot of questions without -- you know when when. Would coaches come to MLS when players and analysts. Do they really know what are they getting chosen to -- so. You know rich rich rich he's a great guy. I've been a really like about the players like and he's he's gotten results. This this year and any future results -- years ago but does that warrant fulltime job. To go to school."
" Does it depend to a certain degree on non. Whether they. Have them -- pretty contractor get an agreement with. A big name a player to help make a splash with the new building in you know does that player at any input on on with the coach comes --"
" Well I don't -- that player whoever that would be he's going to have much you put them on the cushion could I think. I get a feeling that that which could be done to coach endure sporting director could be the same person and could be done by the end of this month which which."
" Sounds like Jeff Vegas is gone."
" Well. We we've certainly been -- to believe that. You know not so many words but but. You know you know can I I don't I don't know what's going on -- upper echelons and I do know that. They've been discussing should should college be a big foreigner in the sporting director. So but he knows in the last vice Versa. Should be the same person. So so those of some of the things that are going to be all right right now. No with secrecy you know I think she's cute she's been tarnished by by the relationship for. Or lack of one which which locals Soria Soria want to cool shots. And end to -- Large degree got a -- shots. You know that the players you wanted and and if you look at the roster. Is not to any analyst or -- left with so who. You know a -- in in the top spot charged with finding players. And in going to the coach had an incident which look at these guys and and story would go look and on top sums and the guys -- polluted simply have not produced."
" Let me ask you questions. Now he's gone it's a little bit easier. And if you have this is he has a long line of you know he got some short term success of Chicago's oriented. And he led the red -- really gives you room most predictions -- the final. Last year. But you always heard whispers that uterus a bit of -- you know Charlotte -- Charlotte and aspect to his his schtick is active. Use a fitness guy which somehow taken on his professorial. Demeanor and became you know they have posited himself as this. They're great student and teacher of the game. By then you know people real soccer -- they were really what is this guy's background coach Molinari you know and did pretty well in the U latched on. You know it's a couple of you know big jobs over England -- really you know pre load on the potable. What's this guy that good or was it. Witten it was all a sham or they received as a bad situation in New York where that is you know -- it's hard to figure out what Juan Carlos are really was."
" Well product tickets I think it's a bit of a squabble -- Somebody. It's enemy well you know the guy was just to corporate fitness coach and and I think. At least a year when you look at it finally you know perhaps they were right. It I was extremely studious and and studious with this approach to game. He could argue that I've I've always. Questions. You know professional coach who's always up -- on the sidelines. You know if you don't prepare -- team. During the week. In training. What do you think years you don't do by screaming at them. You know for ninety minutes of the game. Urged it to an expedition US. So so I think you know what he -- the goods. You know -- when you look back on -- you question was was -- miracle in a lot of ways. You know they'd be. Team magically immune to play Aussie and literally it back into place else. So so you had that and then. You know they have a lot of of of a couple games in the place -- to three games in the playoffs. And also there -- the final and and everybody's really forgotten about what are what kind of ragged season it was able long. You know -- realists. Like like many coaches from from overseas -- he's decent first and and and team. The construction of the team really showed it and and in this here. In the -- just it just. It didn't exist which it was there was nobody in the middle predictable that on sale. To -- this was when you look at it was was poorly constructed. Court. Like people selling extra extra -- on hand. And you know you want to about the direction and an awful long story saying you know I want to power I want I want to you know to pick one place in control of and you know -- each speech was more."
" Well I've Friday night you know is that a sign that he there is any Solana -- is a better player than when he shows under Soriano. Or is it disease and age were in others he can come off the bench. And make an impact but he's he's maybe pass -- needed you know to make it look like Richie Williams Nixon tactical adjustments says that earned them. The rebels draw against you know a revolution to that was hungry for three points."
" You know what I I think I think which is a very astute so Africa I think you'd find not a lot with. Which players who you know who had decent careers they weren't certain -- store as they do they were gonna be storms. And need to kind of what's school on the game and I think you know there's a lot of the a lot of guys like that. Here and as it is played -- coaches like that overseas as well also so. You know I think I think -- has has that has that working for him. Problem. You know I think which was which so solo artists. You know he hasn't shown. All that much easier. And -- you know you know Brett I'm on the big believer that that would when players trouble here. At city in April may June. In most cases they've already played a whole year in and they walking into at the last and you know. It's compute Beaver -- her -- is believed to quickly a lot of ways. And and I just think -- that it takes it takes awhile to get acclimated and and and you'll also going to mix that. That a guy like like Salinas is is playing on artificial turf which nobody likes to -- now. And and he put he put all those factors together and travel to new country. And and and you don't I I try to hold off judgment on on guys coming in. These early in the season at midseason because. You know I'd like to see them from from the get go in full analyst season. And they're trying to make a judgment because because it's also unfair but did again you don't -- much of that about. The rebels patrol and Rojas and and and really. You know they were this situation last summer coming in the -- summer. You know okay give a little slider until until full year and and boy that it will be -- now because they have to do anything."
" For a well. We know that the New York Red Bulls are not gonna make the playoffs this year. Based on what you've seen out of them recently Friday night and looking at the table. New England still with one or two games in hand and everybody of them. In the east and at least game and I and everybody. They're pursuing all the you know as you say. In the west. Do you think that knew him as a good job to get six games."
" I do -- has a good shot and is said to have you know to have won two games hand on. Just differently computing. The cheapest. So. Don't read them I mean again I think it's gonna come right -- last week and cease and for all these teams you know. That right -- a kind of polished enough in -- series maturities and in terms of ports. So problem. You know I'd another Seattle on the weekend in and insert Seattle's been good structure of -- recently. -- cut as many results so so that's that's you know that's a tough -- but but he but also yes you know coming across country. You know. I I it was written -- chances when it comes 2222 audience and Brad. You know again it -- last week --"
" Jacqueline ass is bigger picture question -- you run on your blog couple weeks ago. And you know is a story that -- it's headlines and then and then has gone away is is David Beckham. -- Buying into the Montreal in Packers he really going to be an owner you think when this -- when this all and done because at one point you know few months go look like you is. For taking MLS all together."
" Well DD information I have is that. Key most definitely will exercise his options. He has options contracts and that will enable him to to buy by analyst. Operating -- Forcibly told that the that that clause in the contract is no lead is only -- that -- completes his analyst contract which means. Plane from 2001 season. So so you know. He and his people you know Brett really see United States is insurgent territory for the game. As his place and holds. Great potential and and you know. There are smaller and the minute visit manipulative. And they know what they want and need the kind of about how critical marketing and and when you look -- situation I think I think right now com. You know my actual fiscal from from being. Out of running last November. To -- two looking like the ball flight nineteen team and analysts and Tibetan people get by go to one -- is. Is really -- but at that a -- with an infrastructure already they have to have to worry about. Hiring. Final -- and and putting a team together."
" And they could just expand the Super Tuesday."
" Yes -- cut and -- and what's even better about. Much real impact has already reached agreement with the province of -- To to finance expansion stage. So -- Tibetan people sitting -- it -- to have a stadium and team in place. Well it will -- to get patriotic items is committed to integrity. They put their name on the team and and it is sweeteners. Some international -- So I didn't."
" As it's candidates not even as passionate as Canadians can be about soccer Jack. It's not that lucrative US market."
" I think you know -- I I I agree with you and I think. You know in my mind. And -- probably probably wants to Beckham's Indians in New York was in one. Hand and you know. At least as well talk to bar code to what changed by twelve to twelve for some point. You to that and look around now we see the economic situation in the way it is to take it -- will post equipped with Bernie Madoff. And typically isn't anybody right now in New York certainly. Barcelona is -- has been talked about that is he's been the talk of porcelain -- in mind rebels. But but you know Barcelona has an office in an analyst HQ in Manhattan. And you can get rich city in the nineteen."
" Feel like they've backed off that -- It is one -- for the time being at least until the economy gets there."
" I tried to keep you probably right although -- also I believed to have an election coming up next year so include those who write who knows what to -- seek. Is after that election and and you know would start a new team in in the in the plastic what he or the courts could be astronomical. Which built a new stadium later rebels I think the whole idea of the team in New York to have them actually physically which in one of five or somewhere."
" And maybe alien in Queens so you could access the -- market that."
" That's right that's right. And and that's. You know that's a really big -- because as you know -- two ripples are basically Jersey team they've been planning. It's -- and Harrison which is which also went line and New York. But they're also planning to build. The training facility. Out in in in panel report which are livid torture its its its nearly an hour from me so. So in effect --"
" Orientation is definitely north Jersey and eighty you know if you lower Manhattan. Have if you take the path train and certainly if you're in Jamaica queens or you know Huntington -- on your commitment rebels."
" You know and so so you know the -- as pretty seamlessly. But analysts on on notice that erection Montreal and you thinking of putting it somewhere else and Saint Louis. I don't know."
" But didn't nets in the Mets who want you -- on that -- in any of the acts. --"
" I like it I like it. And its sponsorship."
" Yeah because you can't spell the unions. And you can -- And it got. So. That now shifting focus completely -- are the national team. Pretty much think US with two games to go off by. Sixteen points."
" I would I would think so -- was six of -- I don't think interest for the group I think it probably need oh points or two. To. To really you know to ensure that the that the extradition. In the in the top rate but. -- certainly going to Honduras is going to be difficult and and play Costa -- whole. Costa -- anywhere is not going to be easy but it is as you know Costa Rica just change coaches and in midstream and circle their results. So -- you know and and I think this Mexico looks like they have their easiest. These two games last. So you know in my mind -- west he was should be it should be."
" We're thinking this team's stance because I honestly going to the cycle I was and I thought that. You know ability wise there wasn't much progress I think the is not much progress as one would have hoped war. From the US perspective I think that the player pools much. Broader. And it used to be put it in terms of what that the -- level ability I just don't -- versus that the 2002 team. Huge leap forward you know when it's playing great. You know on their game. Dempsey even out the -- in the eighties can be difference makers from the you know you have -- when you read his coaching staff -- Hammond haters out there to you know at that level you know. Michael Bradley good player you know -- and fail Hummer guys like that you Ricardo Clark good guys but these are not. -- guys will be starting for top teams in England -- you know."
" where they -- And I agree I agree with you are. I do it and I think with. One of the challenges that to Bob Bradley has has to putting together teams that he's you know he's putting -- together. The team that it basically use it on on their clubs. About everybody complementary players. And you know put together a national team no way you waiting for guys to step opened an. And put themselves above that the -- take control of the team and really we we don't have anybody like I'm. I think probably the closest we have this is land and it -- that he's played well last couple games he's he's he's driven the team the last couple games. An and beautiful fall he did it's confederations cup. You know I think a lot of people Clinton in the go you know they just expect more from -- on a more consistent basis. And at least -- a national team level it doesn't seem to be coming. You know -- read it was a it was always it's always been amazing to me you know. There were certain guys who he put on the national team and -- look -- different players at an enemy that possibly is willing to predict electrocuted. And have a presidential teams like just discussed terrific -- apps."
" We I mean huge seller. Frankly. I really really accurately these are greatly Harlem you know analyst low -- he drives me nuts then. He runs socks off. He came across double --"
" Well he can culpable but but you don't I I think what trickier to -- and actually you know -- in the constable. --"
" I think that's holiest to meet our full -- possible. I think that's part of the problem jacket I hear coaches say that ultimately that he does -- defenders like it's like you know -- you expect aphorism brought them. You want a guy can get forward with the ball and defend. And -- and I -- that then it should be out there."
" I do know what you mean and I think -- even you -- a sort of a decent incidents in its. It's a hole there and you know it is his -- like -- it could studio -- perhaps."
" I can defend them you can cross the ball well. He'd get forty -- feet."
" I'd I'd I'd like to see him out there and and and seamless he would he does. -- I mean I don't -- portrayal -- Quite quite a bit but but also. You know I expect a lot of these guys just need to. To assert themselves the war ended in -- in net. In that category you know I I think good good things happen when when he when he touches the ball. And if that's the case -- untouchable. And you look at I'd like I'd like Charlie Davies like out the door but top of likable. They can give us -- combination of speed and strength which you know which we haven't had. And you know they're going to be -- church or any decency. So. You know it it's it's always careful definitely with the US it I think Pratt and and you know. Actually it's it's it's going to be this way you know I don't see anybody. How do our horizons -- rise about it he twenties -- seventeens in and in making huge impacts. You know the rest -- cycle or order South Africa."
" Okay final question Jack and -- taking it really user you know the way the big picture Milo there a call from macro perspective. What's it gonna take because OK now I know we don't have the same football cultures. You know Scotland where this traditional kids. You know from from a working class background room using -- or it's it's getting there we have these soccer -- the kids are exposed it. Top level game in the way you and I were never able you know regular basis in. You know with all the clogs and all the coaching all the exposure it you know it it it doesn't you know now. The kid who is you know it was eight years old when fox soccer channel. First came on. Cable. You know is now nineteen years old. And went through an era where the closer very competitive and there's no question the US is -- you know more good players than ever before. Why aren't -- players coming out. Why they couldn't believe why does this relate to rosy outlook or not it's not a good player he's got a job you were arguably it's awfully in the world. But like why does he have a better touch or wire -- thirty Josie outdoors. Coming to us."
" Well. You know -- mentioned soc culture that specific. Things. I think also in. You know -- it's it's it's it's it'll cliched line in in in in movies you know a -- society. And in a lot of ways it's it's the world we listen right now brat. In terms of -- two versions in and another thing to do it. But but I think really at at horsepower. For your American athletes. We're considering poor or who are you you lead athletes have been. Identify -- so you know again took all these things don't always stand now. But you know what -- when -- kid is sitting here with his parents. You know 89101112. And looking over the landscape and and you know that played soccer that plays football that's what what have you. We're tests which still most lucrative opportunity there it's it's certainly. It's it's not soccer in the United States to put that. You know it could -- could be soccer overseas and in a number of Americans have made pretty good livings. And is seen as -- players overseas."
" So odds are you better often so."
" Right now what it is and I think. You know analysts certainly has to be cognizant of that Pratt put but I think you know they have their plan and wants to -- their plants. And that's -- well -- good. You know. You know what does it do. It long -- does doesn't dissuade more people and it didn't track and it's okay to have the infrastructure but ultimately became the -- on the field and and you -- could use as your players and an actor. Our our millions of of the American kids out there -- world where office. So. You know it's it's a multifaceted question we probably could talk about it for a horse."
" Sir I don't screw things I think it. It is the main things and is the big challenge in. Which. You know you could say okay well. You know there are some teams like Seattle and LA and New York it would -- on increased salary cap. You know. Significantly. And even if they increase out 300%. Let's take it whenever it is now well -- so. Increased 300 it's. It's it's -- Does that improve. You know late that we you and I would -- recognize that we we watch soccer all day every day. Job. But for casual passive stance does that bring -- that still doesn't bring you close. Any eighties you know top leagues we talk about Spain. In England and in Italy Germany France you know in terms of what the options of pain right so you know you're. You know maybe now you're competing with the Norway Denmark and you're not losing you know. -- the that are American players those leagues but I just don't know you know how far it have to go and most of the owners in MLS. Are gonna go there until revenue streams you know supports -- to -- way to."
" While it is in essence and and I think by loosening. But listen so our deputy director -- probably going to want to -- get teams going overseas supplies but. You know but I I think. One -- important facet of booze and most of what they agencies so you know no immediate sign of Sunnis. -- As well yes YouTube but but but really. Most analyst and still have. Formal scouting apparatus. I think both of us know that it did it agent sprinklers to in detention lost in you know that was for the -- oppose the rebels -- goes for everybody. So so it's kind of you know it is it's a weird kind of system but it but I think what you know with which American kids you know analyst takes a lot of criticism lately for being a kind of -- leakage while you know. What's wrong with being secretly in developing players and selling them on and and being able to finance academies in. And other things with transfer fees they all do all which two players who want Google sees it always keep players. Who don't want it -- so so you know really its its case by case thing. In the -- most I think. The place to go overseas you know optical two reasons that go from for the quality of play and also -- they go for. To make decent -- so so you know everybody's got different reasons for doing these things."
" Well it's true. Well I think it's gonna get there it does more to get there as quickly as everybody sometimes which is."
" I may contribute -- I'm honestly it's it's. Is going to take time you know people talk about. Beckham being the turning point to war you know could play in the World Cup and to confederations cup -- And all these things manner and will these things there are. Steps along the way beating Spain playing Brazil final. It is looking for the big banks in the aloha. And look at other than winning the world cup of secure debt or any of those moments there."
" I agree people say you know. You know you know to keep you keep waiting for -- soccer people is key element that could be the next big thing well no we're saying is. It's a big thing everywhere else and it's you know it's already pretty big here it's you know these things go incrementally it's it doesn't. Doesn't happen overnight you can't go back to a time. We think it is that industrial revolution when these things are getting locked in culturally as as a sports. Players and each individual society so. Anyway I think I think -- and I hear from the same perspective we could go all day -- what is in effect your date Jack fell to New York Times excellent stuff on the block in the paper appreciate the time."
" Bret thank you any time. We have to."
" Jack felt good stuff all right well on the other side his -- we're going to talk to. Alan Ramsey of gold -- come on another guy -- I think a lot of good things. --"
" 2009 New England Revolution here -- here at the rebels. Shopping patriot place. Right next July debut of the revolution -- all of the visual revolution merchandise you'll need get the 2009 home -- jerseys with an even number of your favorite player -- half point -- if you're. Don't do and number. -- Much more when they're huge selection of revolutionize the Muslim men and women kid named in the revolution -- Photoshop is -- big -- everywhere on the -- we can always available."
" in Basra is new England's premier entertainment dining and shopping destination experience -- patriot place presented by -- interactive museum dedicated to the history of England but the Stanley a lot of check out the latest summer movie -- peninsula for a concert or comedy show itself is not -- retailers and the -- only -- Of course there's always dinner and drinks has died until it's over with intimacy with the experience -- class medical care at Brigham and women's national health care center located on site at -- it plays. -- Yeah."
" And me."
" Great. Beautiful lives. 3000. Let's do -- deal. Yeah. Forty. Not able -- the show and so Paul mariner was over. You know. Two -- on Monday that he had you know photos. While. Code. You."
" Okay check them out they'll streams some of that service -- this whole thing. US icicles you'll but fitting tribute to a great -- is very important. You know Paul matter you know and its Wednesday close touch with these countries complain for a -- such -- focus now to our friend Alan Ramsey of gold Viacom. Who we think it was one of our own your revolution radio. Started his Austin -- media career -- on the revolution TV. And and radio is that that's right for."
" Com now welcome back Needham. They're very -- pretty good."
" But before -- the -- I want to ask you a question about soccer Texas this year from. -- to -- same hometown as Clint Dempsey and you know you see you that it really your where you're from. Is where I think a lot of people feel like it's the kind of place that's gonna produce more. Clean -- he's going forward because it's -- the crossroads intersection of the Latin. Soccer culture with Mexicans as I'm not mistaken and Salvadoran. Immigrants and the more angle. -- traditional American. An African American athletes. There what. How and where you don't live up here for a few years now and certainly you ministries during the produced some some good players too that. Can you compare -- contrast the soccer culture down -- where -- from news or southeast Texas with what you see here in the northeast."
" The industry yeah. Well one of the big differences obviously is. In that what effect is you can play soccer outdoors around you know there's a major differences in the amount that we can play the amount that we can find out there. As compared to what you can do appear. A lot more in what appeared so I think. I think -- people get used to playing their small quick name appear a little more. The other thing I think it happened in Texas a lot more the a lot of pickup game. A lot of games where there's there's not a lot training there's not a lot of structure to it. Used to produce a lot of their creative players. That are used -- on the ball lie. -- would really kind of strange. Because. Influence of the Mexican players that are there -- says with Salvadorian players. On the African American player and you know. He does hit those you get this crop election down there the bay county athlete that. They are outlawed they're playing -- their games you know all the Tom on the same field. You can shall appear around on children in my outbound Brackett director. Most of the other out around the area you can show up at these -- Regularly and just play pick -- game. And I don't think it's I don't think that there is something to be spared war. The large amount of Mexican players that are in the area that. Art director immigrant from Mexico. First generation got -- than that of -- in the taxes and grow up playing and that culture. And I also think they're good coaches them there. I think it overlooked a lot. -- that there has. Soccer market decorative art school. Washington Martin the brilliant coach it's art art look at the concern. And like any Hernandez that I'm in an area. Doesn't really understand the game that really know how to produce good players. At the same topic because -- little more freedom to express themselves and and -- the -- go --"
" That's why is it suspecting you're gonna say and I think it's a it's a it's a good point I I do think. Things have changed here I've noticed -- shift just watch my daughter play. -- nationally and in this area they want kids with the ball their feet and dribbling more there's more of an emphasis on there's no question great policy. We're talking about the other day. They're growing up that there is more of an emphasis on through northern European not long balls well but -- more more like the Dutch -- want to touch. I'll play up here and I think playing a small spaces of -- or and I think it's. A cultural thing as well. Interesting you mentioned Danny Hernandez he finally got to FC Dallas even try to get to the bells and analysts for a long time -- I ask you is you know the I know he raise his profile -- don't play from the Cox and equivalent of Mars. Talk about what it means for an American. Guy down there to go play. The Mexican -- in in certain status that that Danielle is is made for himself. It's going pro."
" In Pilar has come down actually played college ball and that count. And any that he wrote in the soccer culture. Which is it strange that. Acting community there he went and played in in the -- premier and those. But I watched that you know even brought up -- what I want that's what a lot of people in fact who watched -- doctors concerned. Until it though it came along that was ruling out options on Sunday watched the Mexican premiere on PB. So I think -- they're going to Mexico implying it's. That's really their goal more than Major League soccer a lot of cases. Well I think they get better chances there in in some instances. Like you know for example of Victoria. And I picked up and I can of the -- At a young age and younger brother. That although they they might not have the chance to go to college. Because they didn't necessarily fit into the side in the lead in the things that division one college coaches with the war in that area. There's only one division one college there that he can play. Soccer. All of that have been you know. So public about their options are limited but when they make it in the Mexican bear out there he goes to. Mexican community impact it would obviously is a massive part of the community intact is always you know automated. It's pretty close to -- of the population. Although god they've they've become -- to their -- communities it's it's big for them."
" What are other criticisms and youth soccer in years is that. It doesn't do good enough job. And anyway especially the senior national team of integrating. You to come. Some Mexican Americans. Soccer cultures. Especially when you see in Texas and California. And it's only the guys becomes -- size. Who played college ball who have a shock to make it and analysts as -- US national team. But sometimes it seems -- so much it is you know it's I was -- when you talk America is you tours the -- program. On the one hand -- it would certainly give. The US there are completely different dimension -- players there they'll go there at the same time the style that the US plays doesn't really suit their abilities. And in the long run even if you get more Mexican American kids are -- news program I think. It's an you know is it lets you completely abandoned you know what's great about -- is that he sort of both roles at the one in some -- you know he's a big strong. You know. Angle located is 6190 pounds -- run by people for fun. Doesn't mind mixing you know you've played -- bull run that it feels that the fast footwork in the sense of creativity where. Not too many guys were -- package like that so. In unless you shift. And you're playing more of Mexican island you know short passing game you know dribbling in in its possession game. How how do you guys like that and now."
" Carefully you know everywhere what do you do with calico they Torre. Like again I think he's a good player I think he does -- creative ability to. But. Governor fairly moderate defender. You know it doesn't doesn't accept it and when ball. And he plays and but from that -- mostly. You could -- on the left is obviously got a great -- and let again aren't your battles and concerned you have to be able of the fair and those positions. I think if -- of it and -- I think as much to do it a lack of options at left back and that does let him being. A and Patrick leapt back about -- safety board -- you watched him play in the super leader and you know. Let's be honest. Adopt from I can go. To in the school. I mean without around in doubles all my. But he can't afford it and in the attack epic -- you're seen as lacking. I think what like. What you're saying is -- You can't just wrote the and they don't fit into the system is adopted and what we do well what you're seeing is based around and that is what I think yeah. Still searching for active and he. I don't think that we don't think they control about of the national ball whether the same. They've won things effectively. They won game play and actually wrote a position to make into the World Cup. And I just I don't know what the bow out there to be to get them immigrated. It it would help to. Yet upon a swap or an -- cover and they can do what goes actually them them a little bit of pre roll. In the food from the Bob Bradley -- right now there's really not a place. For."
" let's shift our attention revolution. Disappointing results revolution perspective against European struggled. All year and the -- really control in the first half you know I thought the first portion of the second half. And they they -- just defending too deeply. In the second half. Signals that titles now."
" Absolutely. They they dropped it rupturing the let out all the pressure on them it's really part of Stanford and fire. He just can't fit back in that wave after wave of pressure imagine. Lack of possession going forward was. What the big thing I think Greg and out of an excellent job when he got a problem that you know when we knew the revolution in the trying to get away and you wanna call Charlie don't feel Rockland Maine quite a bit you want them on the ball much Uganda and they just couldn't seem to -- bowed out in the flow of things. And no doubt that really do adopt older and there are not in the ball around and changing the pay to play back -- revolution player."
" Yeah role role in the last two games is not seen enough of the ball. For me. Allen then you're free disagrees with the I think. That's what I would wanna see fund Steve -- if you know now that Ramadan is coming to a close. And in the house humans alone the only user proper nutrition and hopefully Euro zone -- If you get in cows is back and he's -- he can hold the ball and there's no -- and Kelly today and Wells Thompson I think. Have performed extremely well in spots has visited the exploits of the reds needed them come from. But I -- to -- on the wings. -- as the top -- he is if they can get the ball to his feet. And and they don't cough it up as the as the move into the you know build -- play. Then you could send those guys forward to write it but if if the ball getting turned over in the middle third. Then that's when the -- cements -- senior product position they -- and the team gets punished and defenders are left out one on one."
" That's a very good point and now it is I think he's kind of see what the revolution need to do. In the closing run you've got to have a applicable law. And just as importantly it has that is in the ability to. Get the ball and that we should speed on those wings and what the revolution have mostly in Major League soccer. Can't compete with it the speed of Matt Rollins opting them. And another part of that is happening now is. More effective because they and their admirable and -- data they can win it. And that in in front of goal you know it doesn't look good leisurely -- he -- in the middle and not have or the army and the."
" Am -- totally bias or is is doing is getting no protection from. -- directories."
" I don't think you're getting much protection from preparations. At the same time. -- You know -- they're gonna take not because defenders are gonna lead and soul men know try to -- them off the ball in the big guy you know. -- Just don't get a lot of protection on the ground."
" No that's that's a fair point. Probably. Has much to do I'm not there's any bias against in particular it is it seems like. And Taylor Twellman forgot I was asleep with superstar in this league advertising on the field he. Never seems to get a great deal protections. Such as ours. Yeah if you if they're. You know please. A bit today you since the revolution. Or not going to make it work."
" We'll look at the very of that place on the -- you know. Other that I vulnerable and you know honestly. Out to be a lot of failure after Saturday. That we know how they do against Seattle and the right now. -- right now. I don't know they have. What it takes the philosophy about strong enough to make the playoffs. Let a win over Seattle betrayed I am -- an entirely. So if I'm if I'm betting right now upgrade. They probably don't. Like. That bubble that one -- you know I was sixteen that are that are fighting for that spot and we know what the revolution making on the go they can get archery and you know there there there there in the playoffs they can even make -- in the playoffs. Such -- MLS right."
" Yeah that so it goes I think another thing about MLS is you know one or two players -- big difference for him and I think it. The reds need to be you know mindful maybe even a little bit fearful defected even though they've had incredibly impressive win at Seattle back. August 20. And the pretty much neutralize Freddy Montero. They did that against Seattle team that did not have 31 -- and he is really the catalyst for and you know he's the kind of spring. Montero with these -- the field and I think it's gonna be huge challenge for functional these just two points to contain and shut him down."
" Thinking about that -- I think it can be very interesting to watch out the revolution try to build them. It. If they try to reach all -- go for a little more. A little bit more the playmaker adamant that -- and the gap on. Credit back at the end -- actually match watched. With just you know I think I think we're sort of turned into one of the better be of the intermittently. You know what about what would opt for pop. On I'm concerned. At that position. I would suspect -- that musical format want to do. It's already free to move around and leave jet -- in the lord black that the things I'm it is is. -- great player you know like that but it's so they act differently so. But it is a lot I think. It's should be a big crowd -- a lot of people try to -- you know."
" Yeah the first time ever for for Seattle in town so. Yeah I'm looking forward to two. Alan finally looking around MLS. You know we think the teams that are sort of surging now and we think are the ones that are fading as is really tough with the result the results are so close over the weekend you know in the news. It is all against you to come down you know -- penalty call him you know lifetime games on both ends. You know is there as you know is it if it can you can initiate a long way or the other at this point in terms of the the teams that are on the oval. Like this always achieve this is -- two --"
" And what once again it's Israel as their heart felt like you said it it's coming down to a goal here gold bear. You know a bit revolt on the road changes things for it came entirely. I I really can't I really can't traffic. I think Toronto. And some of their revolt and then have been questionable -- haven't been good on the road at all. And that could come into play going down the stretch on. And it. Major League soccer the hard thing to we -- and week out you know I mean two weeks ago you lock your feet out go out and about the galaxy. And I think it out here playing good ball right now you know. It's -- street that's part of do each and every week. I don't know I don't know tell you there."
" Not only and that's I was asking you -- that it seems to editors there is so much parity. And you know trials -- literal Spence who is the rule. Yeah you know Dallas phones away and again -- was matters as we stand for and then. They lose to Kansas City and all the seasons essentially the liquid crystal ball to Pittsburgh's they're gone. Where is Kansas City now as a realized. Tenants if that in two to. That game them both of them pretty much."
" I mean like that it would go here go there and Google on the road. -- wondered certain quiet it's an update create these Major League soccer. The number one thing here. The greens are expected to be good you know Houston Columbus. Chicago. All right that they got that. -- In the you know and there's there's a lot of -- the talent to make the final push -- really make some noise in the playoffs they get there. You know so it it's a bit -- it."
" You know it's who -- the right to know them. All right -- I appreciate the time general Clark you."
