" Well that's follower looking for around one -- loss to a depleted Columbus Crew side. I don't know what was going odd man like -- with sharp. As Steve Nicol said they lacked quality okay can moan about the penalty calls issue that in the thirtieth I think the 82 minute. But you know you can also balanced out by saying there has played up for over. Half an hour after the -- Emanuel quote I thought it was a soft weak call so you know it cuts both ways and the -- really can't complain about the refereeing -- lousy in taking advantage of the -- V ten. And you know they did start -- look like they're going for in the late stage of the game it. You're not get a better chance -- three points in his home on stretched -- in that game. Our Stallone does on the bench you know Chad Marshall is away Marino's away Robbie Rogers away. So it just seems like an opportunity. Opportunity missed big time and it is an opportunity in his big time it's it's good for the the -- is he's he's gone off the boiled. And and to Ronald -- league goal against San Jose. So the reds are still in the eighth and final playoff spot at. The postseason started today. And -- so it's not wheels off the way. An opportunity."
" Chicago you know Chicago's -- on the play for for sure. But. You know the funny thing is -- going to actually tied on points. With with win. At home once on Saturday but in the got to -- a win is tie or better yet to win these violent games here on war. -- happened folks that are gonna miss out on. The post season for the first time since 2001 so that's. That's the deal. So. He got a good show for respect conduct Chris Doran that analyst for Chicago fire TV. Com. We'll have about five minutes -- for child from Chicago sun times and also Jeff Carlisle from my ESPN radio. I doing here this the standings right now Columbus is in the playoffs 49 points to work reds right BI Chicago 41 and 38 points. And then right now the playoffs Thursday Colorado. Would come over from the west is. As a wild card. With forty points calico -- New York did last year. And then -- west you have three keys and 44. The galaxy Houston. US US -- who puts a playoff spot in Seattle 41. -- knock him. Right behind. FC Dallas who -- real -- 36 points Toronto FC. Also 36 in DC united so. You know what you think it's. It's not an easy task for the revolution you'll be a lot better for them. If they can."
" I think get into it and it counts is back in action I can see Darcy caskets. After missing three used to be right in starting but it doesn't really that's that they really need. The -- via com. By. You graduates he was sorely missed again pat -- is playing well but. He just doesn't eat up the space the way Jeff does -- this seems hard drive. Yes. And historians of shoulders so to speak you Burton out there in the middle that is just. -- I don't know if you if you can't talent concern. I think in his Chicago you know still silent plea for. Yeah he has they've since being of VO eight seasons he do. -- you know in their bond about the risen. In the balance of power shifted back. To Chicago are you so -- he in this release on. Were really just came down to couple moments but if long goes in line -- in the prize back from injury. If those are guys who were different level -- guys around that level that there injured you know twellman and Ralston. Joseph is at that level he's a game changer -- not as much an attacking player at least usually. So. Where's it going to come from ideas there has -- to last three games words you watch. You know Kelly do you -- certain current conditions. To become real real finisher. -- I don't wanna sound too negative note. It's you know. It's -- electorate as a getting blown out. There exists they don't they lack that little bit. Quality. Makes difference in this -- it's so close between teams and you know. -- accounts this was brought into added that he's terrific player but you know he just he's so injury -- so. You know interest -- year of people think about the goal. And the goal it was a miscommunication between. Between Greece and Emanuel Wednesday. -- to the naked guy deadly looks like its policies messed up by you know when in reading that the coach's comments here with the players had to say. It sounds like an you know an equal. -- share the blame goes to Teresa and -- today. It was a misunderstanding in you know what he would do as his recent news. You know because in the game. It is awkward goofy looking -- to sort of bounces it in them were monitored Bowden. He notes you could do was never scored honestly before. Buy them that's the way it went and so anyway. On -- now down the last two games they have there final. Home game of the regular season on Saturday to 6 PM kickoff don't forget don't show up at 730 this unity yet here about halfway through the second half. Fox soccer channel on the radio WRKO and streamline them. Revolution soccer not that complicated at this -- using the end of the season awards -- to -- in the game. You know including media. The -- cup on oh by the way before any further. Thoughts and prayers are for round -- women going out to -- duties his spam in other victims that terrible car crash in Virginia in your DC. Early Tuesday morning wide blows that it is. To the peoples involved their families. And from you know sporting perspective which really takes. You know. Secondary role here but it. You know for for you look at realities they they talk about six to twelve months well. He looks like Charlie's gonna miss the World Cup it's -- It's it's a setback. For the US national team and heartbreak for a guy like this is a guy you know getting close to his peak. And he's. In all likelihood is in this. You know. 2010 World Cup I think Leo right now more -- the -- concerns or will he get back to dispute normal health. She's in serious condition. -- so on all the best early days for reforms beat your. Doctoral. You know now tonight -- It's go -- well moving it back to other relatives very pleased. To welcome in our restored."
" The house for a Chicago fire television well I. We're not doing the game for TV's regionally here knowing the -- are going to be on in Chicago with Chris I know you follow the the fire very closely dated days could have you back on the show."
" It Brett thanks so it's good to talk to you nice that we can all watch on fox soccer channel that you -- I like to work too so. A good look for the guys on fox this week."
" Its shares absolutely. Where oh where does the Chicago fire team stand right now it's been a strange season with -- you know the whole book -- Samari. Incident and you know is -- video -- go -- now line up in this likely his last season but there's still. In real only strong position and at the playoffs start today would be the resident in the fire going at that again."
" Seems like it's an annual affair with Brad went to the -- meet and and this late and regular season match up visit is actually constant on the schedule as well. There's a lot of -- Perl almost every -- this weekend which is sort of unusual you've been involved in the league for so many years can you remember such a tight race this latency."
" No no question about it the of the fire can clinch that number -- birth but with even a tie. On. On Saturday so. Yeah yeah yeah these upstarts founders have an important game and you know Colorado everybody yeah it's it's it's it's really -- really hangs in the balance -- on these teams. Right behind the reds. Have a lot to play for so you know their diet is the reds are gonna get any by taking the weekend off. Giving them --"
" That that's exactly right and I think that's the biggest part of this quote straight solely policies and that no one's taken a break. It's not uncommon -- get the last two or three games of the season and for coaches to start resting their stars. Especially when they view figure that they've got a position in the playoff race sewn up and there's very little you can influence where they are effective moment. Chicago fire. Cannot clinch this. Supporters feel they simply they don't have a chance to get two games left they get all six points they're not gonna find not going to be -- Columbus which currently sits atop the east and in the league for the supporters shield which you will point sweater at the end of the regular season so Chicago got to do is continue to fight that second place. Spot. And if they go to third my thought is what's gonna hurt them there are still gonna have to number three right or play number two so -- I I think -- thinking this is just be steady. Get a point on the road if you can three point would be ideal. And they come home and wrap up the regular season with -- us which you know still -- a fifteen minutes of fighting tooth in nail. Probably don't have as good a chance. So the others to finish up with postseason hopes."
" go to achieve this is then I think democracy I think that is there does -- fight for home field."
" Right that's what you know what that's what it is I'm thinking of or the other Western Conference and it's actually done it number four number five. I'm sorry about."
" Yea and I just I think it is going to be you know when you see that that that's bad for the revolution because you know Chicago has a better chance to win a game like that. And there you know the reds. You know issue their final game is at Columbus Day is it okay you Columbus might be resting guys but I they have the opportunity to you know to win the supporter shield do you think they're going to be. Playing the second string navy after they beat them in enough Foxborough on Saturday night with essentially the second string but. You know I just I look at these games and it's just -- the reds have a tough running on Chicago Columbus act on this and a a my next question for his -- court Blanco is he. Do you expect to note to play on Saturday."
" Well I I know he's been with Mexico qualifiers. And a -- dorks fact that he would be available for Saturday night's game but I don't know that. Blah -- was away for qualifiers. Had a piece of problem. In September getting back out of Mexico. Because the visa expired so he missed the he he came back. He completely the next -- suffered hamstring injury he rested -- for a week and happen and I think you left began to look back to Mexico. All that's said. It would be probably. In Chicago's best interest to give him another opportunity to rest. But -- a pushed him for Saturday night then make an arrest him on Thursday night against you so. You know it's it wouldn't surprise me if there was some rest involved there but it wouldn't surprise either block -- wanted to be part of these two games. Which is club record you know his community really hasn't spent a lot of time with the last few weeks in terms of -- match time. And and be ready for the first round of the playoffs."
" And here -- injury going into the World Cup qualifiers is that correct."
" Yeah. Well I remember. You know our commute in -- the last six weeks or are sort of a blurb because so many different things started after. But you know the good news is that Brian McBride is back a lot sooner than -- What people thought -- he scored against Toronto and I would say after this week respite Chicago resident George. All in all likelihood has regained significant fitness. That was the one concern coming back early was that while he was able to exit during -- rehab from the surgery. It was necessarily match fitness and that he wasn't out competing in Wednesday -- images that sort of thing. So. Brian McBride still very strong -- top and got -- like Patrick Jaco. We saw com. Peter while we sort of come out of his shell this is young player -- the midfield to. Scored two goals -- school. On his first times strikes was just tremendous. So that's an important component Chris -- in the field as well as Logan pause. -- Oh in the -- to."
" Interesting well. You know -- pop you how's he going for truth virus now final score is on the air."
" Yeah we're. You know we get a little I think -- get a little frustrated. That Marcos Wake Forest not as well developed this -- laughed because some of his. Cutting runs into the inside from the left and if you slot. You can any opportunity to bombs strike the ball -- what really -- paper has left. Justin map on the other hand to a lot of -- stands snow's been a very consistent. I'm liking -- on the left side. Does a great job with his right especially on services from outside. And so you know Marco -- got delivered or have to develop that school. Toolbox of that he can use it against opponents. But those midfielders have been very strong you know the fire has had to put up with the lingering injury -- which aren't going to -- com. And so or is not going to be politico this weekend and that's a big -- and I know he's very disappointed -- they're very important cog in the wheel from the fires especially in postseason. That they mentioned guys like Peter -- step up to the plate and they play well and and in the back on some injuries which will condi recently. Hampered the his ability to contribute on a regular basis. And CJ brown is back conforms to that's been the good news with the -- so Murray's the part. I'm CJ brown is back -- playing very well on the captain has got a nice job anchoring the defense for the better part of this season."
" One guy his name isn't getting mentioned as often as I would think is a potential defender of the year now I think Chad Marshall can win going away. But -- Condit for me. He's one of the top. Two not three or four. Guys and back -- in -- only seen him have good days against the reds when he plays a national TV. Or is is is MI wrong as saying that even if he's maybe you'll more risks taken some coaches my life that he's a guy who. Defense consistently and athletically -- distribution is pretty good too."
" No Brett I think -- on the market. Yeah I think he does have big gains on national TV I think there's some incentives internally for him to do that. We started this season wondering if -- was even gonna walk on the fuel for the fire. There were some disputes. At least on second and stories about how -- expressed some. Desire to be moved to another teen. But he was under contract and you know 11 -- Soria left the fire was really unwilling in this course more than a year ago. -- The fire was really unwilling to -- Conseco because of the potential that he offered in terms of this -- Country has developed into amateur. Defenders he has -- checked himself a little bit. More consistently. This year in terms of I'm sneaking forward and getting involved in attacking he picks his -- a lot better than he did what it was a couple years younger. He's very strong defensively won you -- he's great in the air and on restarts these huge target. He reminds me a -- Joseph Charlie's got. A little better and actually be a lot better vision of the field as -- mid -- able to distribute the ball side to side much more practically. But -- time -- I think your assessment is right on in the last couple years this guy has really. Com owned that defensive spot. In the league it's Israel it could be in one of the better defenders."
" putting out the best eleven against a good European team you know with the best from analysts I would have -- Condit is my center the central vendors. -- Red eyes by you know because when you see these guys week in week out the -- you know do you agree with me on that. When you talk about -- that being consistent I'm surprised to hear that -- maybe the numbers don't lie because he does have you know that the assists it to show that. For me he's always been guys -- the sum of his parts and hasn't the -- the potential to -- on him when he's a teenager. But maybe I'm being arson I'm just you know he's a guy who hasn't performed particularly well and I've seen embezzle overall body -- work is -- satisfactory."
" Yeah it's. I don't know you know Justin is sort of different birdies arm she's very quiet. He's always been that way you know. When he was 1718 years old news quiet when he was with the united you're sort of understood why he's in the locker room. I'm guys -- been playing for 1015 years. But he still sort it that way com he's a very modest guy. He doesn't -- the spotlight to himself last couple games he's played very very well. Very effective. Was able to -- an -- the last -- last week before that to the two week break. You know I think. I think that is just got -- comfortable. Comfortable in the role as as that. Midfielder who constrict the ball. He's got a great left footage -- very strong when he gets diagonal from the outside and cuts in word. And conservative ball -- very very well. I just think -- he's cutting the ball in the word and he's making his way to the top of the box from the middle of the field at east. Much more -- And and you got guys like Brian McBride and a lot go work clogging up the middle. Because that's where they are virtuoso -- a few well. I think it's. I think it's unfair to ask Justin -- beat him there and make something happen to -- It's really a dynamic goat or a function of the personnel that have surrounded just to map. Com I think he's more than just the guy who on the sideline gets to the goal line and searchable across but. Because of personnel that are available to the fire staff right now it's sort of talk to. It's sort talked to say they going to take -- you know take it speaks to block goes got to take that space that McBride is occupying. Trying to."
" and I've never seen that simple as that kind of player. And I think you know he did he does deadly does the job I think. It's just interest in its -- Robbie Rogers for Columbus gets called in. To the national team now on just to map doesn't seem to get as many of those looks as east news and for me honestly I I would take map over routers but it's you know -- it just feels like people's somehow. Expected more from them and yeah you know and and that and that -- may just be unfair you know I don't mean in terms of being like a guy bosses the match I mean you're employing. Left wing I think all the qualities that you describe are are spot on and he does bring that you know I think the -- need to be wary of and certainly there wing players. Thompson the -- Mansoor Ali. We do well -- you know take a good spots knock it into fourth quarter maps can take advantage of those those spaces. You know I used I raises interest because you you see a more a lot more than I -- last player wanna ask you about as a batter -- Because for me -- one of the surprise guys is here."
" Yeah is so he done very well he's -- in mid -- in the early part of this season but then. As Saddam interests -- portion of Gonzales to goddesses. Working through some injuries and so he's unavailable. Operating Prudhoe it was a very traditional outside. Marking -- moves to the left side. Take your -- this place. And -- that comes right back. Respect -- pushes speaking of that from the flank. And it's terrific one -- one defensive situations. I think there are great qualities to his -- has matured just from the cities all. And you know so obviously coaching staff has tremendous faith in him and that he's able. Handle those responsibilities. So they're very very well."
" How do you think Chicago seasoning and right now."
" It's you know the black and -- series -- You know. Archer won the first priorities is going to be a -- going to hurt. Am only because. Both of these teams play so hard way and ending up with each other. I think here. One of the dynamics of the fire -- years that they've become much more technical. In that they are not as physical team. -- maybe they would be in past years. And I really I think in that regard you have to go back to do. Some Chris -- seasons. And the -- marsh seasons certainly she brings. Them apart in the physical. Match that. With those guys missing in the middle this scheme becomes cleaner in the sense that it's it's really all about ball movement. Com although child porn and last -- he's not going to be in there. And so it's it's raw taking one -- and delivering you know get the ball you wake of the ball away Logan pause. It's strong on the ball defensively when he's playing on the attack to get the ball quickly. New England. Is missing some of those players are typically quite that way in and you know I can't tell you out -- pointless to -- about Steve -- yeah. Injury -- note he was gonna be missing for the rest and see you know such a professional. Such a query. And to people who follow the league -- means so much to a Major League soccer's all out. I just was just devastating -- that he wouldn't be. Entered this season. But when when you start adding sort of the other components that New England brings and you got sites were very clean on the ball like -- Joseph -- Joseph doesn't. Backed down from anything. So as long as -- remains technical and the all continues to move I think this paper's Chicago. But it England is able to start stringing two entry passes together and for Chicago's defense to adjusts. To the point where they may make him a mistake adjusting. Armed services into the box and the column can probably be pretty dangerous for an answer to cap."
" Good analysis appreciate the insight and expertise Chris -- Chicago fire TV finished taking the time this morning."
" Thanks so -- you guys in the post season."
" good luck with Sosa and Chris. Good it is that he spent a lot of time working the sidelines in the pregame post game on down the field and good to see him -- to the Booth as you know -- and could them on the show again now we'll have more fire -- talk on the other side of this break. --"
" list -- players are so close the revolution can taste it there was the reds take on the -- teams and adolescents begin their quest for the cup. Because you'll Budweiser quest for the cup to pack one ticket for you would want broke away and you'll receive two free pint glasses from -- every point it's a chance for the MLS cup -- the balance.

Don't resemble most exciting part of the old seasoned group of your Budweiser -- packs -- can -- the -- as they go on their quest for the cup."
" This is we're not using the Internet on an airplane yeah American Airlines -- things here putting lives and -- flights you know I actually had the idea a while back for Wi-Fi. It's my idea wasn't called Wi-Fi. What was it called brand is called bright side. Well it's very clever -- you have to get it ratified. Unfortunately -- on the ground Wi-Fi now available on select flights you know why you fly -- American Airlines."

" We okay. In new."
" RA. Second segment here on in the net. Or Wednesday -- and down. Second last week of the regular season. Fire and there has kicked off at 6 PM. -- stadium on Saturday night. And that's the focus of this program. Again you come up Saturday and about joining us now is nick perch off from Chicago sun times. Use."
" The ground level perspective on there as a country opponent nick Norah. Are good at first I -- here. And I wanna get yours are independent perspective you really wanna put Chris storm on the spot. Because is awkward thing for him by you know and I've been there too because you know obviously united TV for the for the team and that's so it works in in -- and allies but I. How bad as the fallout from the cars from Mars is certainly bad enough that time that they downloaded him right quick to the French league. And you know -- it didn't take long for them to to jettison a guy who. You at Intel just you know before that had been a big part of their future plans use one you know got big upside. And -- by their very proud of and and my question is. You know who OK he's gone to they've sort of cut out that cancer is a word but is there is there's still. Some sickness and in the body of the club is so far as the word on the street is that debt is Dennis hamlets. He sort of control over the club was questioned and that is ownership isn't thrilled with the way he's run things since it took oversee coaches is that just rumor."
" God I think there's certain truth I don't all -- stems from. -- the cartoon art that was sort of want at all content but. Hmm yeah follows pretty ugly I mean especially on a personal level between those two guys between his roots here whose stock he's agent and former. Here forever midfield. Gather some definite issue of whether or not he's trying to keep -- stems from comfortably now from the ownership I think it might come internally for some players on the on the players. You know again it's six that is winning games so if they can. Sort of right the ship right now they're banged up right now but they can win some games. And the Nicaragua McClatchy nick Campbell Scott I think in my change if you think that there's definite pressure and the -- incidents. Sort of give itself focal point -- to look at."
" Yeah. Well I guess Leo that leads the money in the next guy wanna bring shoppers who is -- some wacko. He's banged up but he also is he's not coming back is that correct that we know there's no question he's come back. All right and I must admit that more."
" Yeah it was sort of I mean what -- actually say it I would -- billion -- six weeks ago. That he sort of began talking. About the fact that he wanted to come back and it's partly replace and he can do another year here. The general consensus from some of the -- guidance from some other. Players in the knowledge that yeah he's coming back is to fire will have a minute to compare -- financial. -- he's gonna do another year this is also a guy who say he retired Mexican national human and you know and now we seven and so I'd -- to get --"
" Yell like a beautiful woman -- October reserves a right to changes in line."
" Absolutely help. So I think they're gonna be flexible as of today about the maybe the last month six we can send a comeback really be effective remedies. This -- the first year where he really missed a lot not a lot but substantial time with injuries he finally starting to. To show us some of his agent. It could be a couple weeks after the first two years."
" Yeah they still those that pick up sponsor is not gonna get you know him they -- he takes his wells anybody he Guillermo -- go -- But the thing is I think probably those hits hurt more now on his more brittle and used to be Kasinga he doesn't why guys up to the point where they wanna kick wants out."
" and he got protection swaps probably have as much as anyone in police I think. The two years ago gladly consultant you know there -- a number solve the one copy -- every one he -- he takes two or three that don't call them yes on the itself. A bizarre picture but. Yeah he's contributed -- this is the first here he's really any injuries. He got robbed he would say to him work out like that final thing yeah."
" not only is it just from the for the time missed it and how injured is he now. Because I only he was -- hip injury before it went off of Mexico so do you think you'll be -- Saturday."
" I'm I'm headed arm down currency undervalued since it was pretty battered. One when -- recruit a couple of weeks ago. So we'll figure it to do what he's up to Mexico they brought in now from what I've heard they've brought in another player if you can't go. From them. I mean that we call for maybe had Barbara not correct you'll see what he does for the gamma camera. With -- sort of give him a very lovely children how he wouldn't want to come -- what YouTube physically you know how well -- covered. And an -- kind of cramped cubicles got that the two of them."
" Its interest in I don't think I'm telling tales as school here because he's such demanding player play against a lot of teams really to order resents of his gamesmanship. But after the revolution coaches. Steve -- and Paul mariner had him at the All-Star game last year up in Toronto. I think their opinion of him changed. Because you know if it I think he showed respect towards them as he realized right away that they were lake -- or soccer guys who had been players at a high level. And you know say there is like in dating and have a common. You know language linguistically. Like they understood the language of of football. And they gained a respect for him and I think it was mutual so and -- to say you know. Did they won't sort of -- come off. Effort for bodies of which is which is unusual with guys like them because they're from their British tradition where you don't do that. And they've built a state packed ice so smart you have to watch at all times and as an ultimate compliment from from my nickel manner."
" Yet he is smart player he really is very savvy about the way it goes. About a lot of things -- field and he brought a lot of people the wrong way especially American soccer players and sort of disciplined in the the note I think had no extra dramatics and he's still -- few others. Just. To sort this out on the field and yet. Yeah but he just just muster little player and passing parade -- fire I think what he respects and what. He gravitate to these -- the complaint again and appreciation for the game. That means he's got -- nineteen year old kid on -- 21 healthcare can and can't finish a breakaway and he's gonna have gotten here it's another guy on the team who. You know -- and I'm gonna let him here and I think he deserves appreciation forgot completely."
" Right and I think he price he'll play in and likewise your pros he's earned the right in the he's actually doing to put the player -- his team favored again easier. Because that's the way he learned that Saudi you know. It you know it's it's rough. Discipline rough justice -- that tell you -- he can't he can't take the heat you know that you're not in I'm ready to be approach so in Ohio I -- I respect guys like I just you know because I'm an American fan site and a lot more. Through Western European notices northern your desire. I'm of the mind I really don't like the I think he -- against him. You one step further than that he needs to. But you know I also due respect you know that -- that guy can change -- game with. One plane that's we saw the super league semifinal mixed. You know I I didn't give -- must though. And he said wow always a doubt the difference was Chicago it to see your pros McBride and and block -- Bob McBride drew that foul that led to to the free kick for the game winner and blocked by their great service from the flank in the first half for -- also used to. Guys who does that differ levels that the -- what the -- at the moment."
" So yeah I would agree and you'd think that with two -- that level player that could. When she or won't do it as he's about -- them."
" Well the -- the -- tight and you know it is sometimes the weakest link thing too because. You all these teams have you guys at their make it 2030 use -- you know and and that's that's the thing you can take advantage of that. And that and I was gonna ask you this about -- you know one of the what things you hear on the -- of Beckham. Thing where there isn't as the successor disaster on the POs are people still the judge in the in the you know the jury may still be out on that. I've heard privately that. You know block go even though he's been a success in how -- helped Chicago gains and success in the field. But they haven't made their marketing money at the same way that that. Beckham made for LA is act is that true."
" Yeah but I also think that there I mean I think there's on the one David Beckham I don't know anybody that you keep it under terms of marketing and sales that's. They did really well first got here July 2 of them they did really well right away from the -- terms of -- a terrible thing if it's sort of dissipated a little utter their attendance numbers are way down and entered doubly glad anyway. Yeah maybe the book has worn off a little bit but I I still think that he's not fair batons.

Tests and guys out you know what it what you expect the lineup to be -- is obviously big game for Costa Rica."
" What is that I think for that reason you're gonna see a pretty close approximation of the lineup -- played against Honduras. Certainly everything that the players on them Bob Riley said. Indicate that they're gonna put a pretty strong lineup out on the field and and I think that's actually the right thing I think if you know you're on just if you wanna see the US you'll put in their best effort and them play their best players who became obviously does have huge impact on. You know -- and then he goes to South Africa. So I think that's actually what you're gonna see you're you know there might be you know two or three changes. Of course you know Charlie Davies.

An and you're right David speed really added a different dimension and and I think it makes it easier. For Bradley from Atlanta Donovan back into midfield certainly Donovan had played in midfield for a lot of the games previous to that. Glad I I think get. You know if it made that decision a little bit easier to make and and certainly you Donovan could be if you're looking for that kind of power and speed combination. Movie Donovan back up top is one possibility but he's been so effective operating out of midfield. And it it's certainly an international -- being able to -- that the goal. And run it people really place -- strength so it it doesn't leave the US national team and a bit of a quandary is Vista howl. How you you solve that problem. I think it's in the short term certainly.
