" This is easy in the match -- Brad Gomez. In the next door behind the scenes pastor of New England Revolution -- the world of Major League soccer exclusively on revolutions soccer dot net because. Yeah. Now cheaters. Brad. --"
" Wild man crawl ninety yards job and graduate student."
" Yeah oh. Yeah. -- Then moves very strong positive."
" Well it's a certainty now. -- if there is -- tied that game. They they'd be playing. This weekend however however I think everybody you know it did then put an exclamation point on it. And if punched a ticket it was a massive goal -- only goal of the season. And is a US open cup bomb blast. That encounters in his league totals that we -- do that before Jeff -- to its. What do you issue. -- for the revolution for the eighth straight season. -- evolution are going to -- Moscow playoffs under. Steve Nicol and then that's it well deserved there over 500 for the fifth straight year. And you know -- only only two fewer wins. Then. League leading Columbus and a few other teams an insane numbers of wins as the upcoming opponent -- surprise it's in Chicago. For the fifth straight year and the eighth time in this decade they will be playing. Chicago fire. In the playoffs. Familiarity breeds contempt no doubt about it. But it should make for -- a spiced up series between teams that definitely don't like one another. They played three times -- this year twice in the regular season splitting that with two draws and in the -- as losing a close one. 21 at home and super league semifinal game they outshot Chicago excellent 75%. Any seventeen threes is an -- equality for Brian McBride. And are caught in bronco. With a difference makers and then again they could be. In his upcoming series -- so there is certainly no easy easier task ahead of them joining us now from Chicago. -- for -- and I always -- his name wrong but he's actually I had to apologize for that nick welcome back his show I was you close."
" Critical the first shock but if you that if we show about an article about the collapse yeah. Emotional."
" Well yeah every treasury nick the Chicago sun times website blog and an excellent coverage of the fire all year long enough. Despite -- gap there the star of the show. -- I wanna ask you're inside about the about this series coming up. Let me ask you first. I noted that Chicago has pretty much had the rooms. Number and in recent times. Chicago. Five wins three draws and lasting meetings with the revolution in all competitions. That's one way to look at the other rule we look at it is that there is an all time for three years in the playoffs it's always tight between these these clubs. And the other as a played tough all three times this year to draws. I can't imagine that this is the team that they want to see in the first round."
" No I never advocated that inevitably it always comes out of there -- and the flowers notes they always know what they're gonna cook your New England at some point no matter. Where he can't understand it in June July and -- on -- and -- Yeah for whatever reason I don't know whether that it had a number lately especially in Foxboro Foxboro in them. I don't know I'm good that you will happen because I think that and that can come home last so long the partisan split on the road this season. So this -- has something figured out. I think that they be more than happy going there and get a draw that moan don't really talk click play for them and I think a lot of can easily. Whether it's -- just that -- style of play so I'm. I don't know -- it's been lately I don't know -- anything them and what is doing a little have done a lot copier and we -- the failure personnel issue. It's sort of been the way economy before that New England on that Turkey has tried every game that mattered in the classroom at once so. I think it would have been closed little bit can. Here's just another chapter eleven."
" We talked to two weeks ago for the the last game between teams by health was have been an issue for Chicago as it has been for the -- here. -- John Thornton. Missed that game and a patella wacko. I didn't see how much in play in in that you Russ game."
" I think a lot of good luck to you that he can mean -- I wanted to let the 62 minute -- like that against you refuse and little last week put it on third base so. You know -- a little bit of extra time on the path can't but he definitely still got a hamstring if you can ride and community in Columbus while back. And then he had to go play two games Mexican national team. And don't -- what you what post player I think I would fire was a little bit obsessed with that we can mock convention and now. -- and general remarks but. They can block the last two games thirty or forty minutes and I'm. You look pretty good I don't think he can give you coal mine in unique and this week but he hadn't got the last couple weeks going to and is expected to. A possibility he was workout last week first and long time and they also expect immediate consulting."
" Okay he's -- he's -- he's been a real tough one for the rose. I would element Condit is the a 100% to go."
" I wouldn't say the percent of -- in the last two weeks with hamstring issues that he had a long time he heard himself into galaxies about. Few weeks back so I would be questionable but. And sort of mentioned about two weeks they've gone without Gonzales. Outlook on the defense of one. And has -- constrict -- account and so including. Flat against Cuba so CJ brown and fidelity. And and -- who is you know I'm pretty good that the yeah and -- defendant quick gum ball. They've been there that's what that group and I think after that -- And this was killed just two. And they got the win and they. But the momentum. That they get comes from two straight shutout into the defensive minded guy was -- defensive team -- And the pride in a block of and and and it seems so it constriction to pick them even it is sort of a makeshift crew of -- guys like empire Fijian. This is determined that and then another -- and sort of been the bench --"
" I was like this on Robinson and it seemed like Hamlin took over you know is an injury problems insert took a step backwards. Off from where he'd been. But it. The essence of -- in in terms of the last game you know how. To waste into Chicago feel -- I know that they felt like it should have been yellow card and Chris were often. That -- try to around that reason and fact the replays suggest that you might have a good shot. For a penalty I've come down both sides of talk about say it probably is should have been a penalty even though the cockpit was light I think could reach created the collision. And Walters made -- look bad -- losing his feet to easily to take another step even cleaned."
" That they were they were pretty -- the sort of a week later it still hadn't -- settled when they. When they beat she looked at night and maybe in my own goal and had fourteen -- the public and scored on home. But they don't own goal. -- And a lot of the players impression of that and we we didn't get the golden meeting in new England and I felt that we can't take last week didn't catch a break -- all --"
" You know that's true but the would you also agree that the revolution on largely out chance Chicago on the night to -- and finish."
" Yeah yes I don't. I would I would agree that."
" Okay it's you know if the other revolution we go back to to -- calls on their recent road trip we're you know one where there is a double hand ball and you've got called on playing another one word. That penalty called against the rooms in it and it worked for the Republicans. Asbestos off calls we're all evens out but I agree -- should have been. At the time I didn't on the -- within I got a chance wants replace several times I think that certainly should have been yellow card it is Gonzalez wasn't sure wanted to you know when playoff. So but anyway. That's water under the bridge both teams made the playoffs and eleven wins. From -- is a fair reflection of what the revolution have done I don't know what you think about Chicago as you alluded to earlier strangely they have been particularly good. At home within the next on the road what do you attribute that to connect."
" Yeah I don't know that it -- so that mr. should have been really strong on the and they have really struggled at home I don't know he can tackle those guys may say well you could make a big deal out of the you don't play well but. The numbers add up that they can't necessarily defend their home -- so I don't know what it's been. But it noted that bode well for legal in the playoffs playing on the road but not home I don't know they they probably if there record reflects. Pretty accurate what they've done in the going -- what you're saying rescued at eleven win. I'm. Probably -- blocked if you -- could have -- humor and they coughed up. At least three or four games you know second half -- late -- little. But they also got a -- Columbus of the coalition gotten gotten a couple other ones. They've been doing consistent I think. That's -- the trend all season long so. They can go and play -- in Columbus and can lose next week somebody they have no business will include some. I think this is pretty represented what a -- that played pretty consistent -- overall pretty good conduct of the playoffs and then if you get some consistency gone over three weeks or months."
" We let me ask you this is rooted builders do a small -- cloud hanging over the fire at least from -- this essentially looks the word around the league is not this is not just and who this guy trying to stir up trouble. Everywhere. We go we hear tennis -- Dead Man Walking his knock and less Chicago win the whole thing he's at the end of the year the that the owner. And -- just doesn't like him don't like his style under the has enough charisma. And there's none of them attacking coach. And that he's gone and no matter wise unless they pull off an improbable analysts have pictures at some -- of."
" I would -- up to a point where I think he likely would be safe if they make you know and if they lose to a good team. I am I think it would and then -- for sure that. I think it would be increasingly costly and out of balance to poet and if you made -- all that new analyst cup. Especially with a lot of injuries they've had quite yet a Dead Man Walking and yet I would agree if they go -- first round. Yeah Contra accepted fees and whether try to I think probably because because they can do is looking for. And you want to win very competitively and we Anglican on the but. He's added on a couple other guys we've heard a lot of rumors about correctly Sheila there's much -- that. But. Yeah I wouldn't be surprised if that's typical on the first count and if they do have to get -- movement to play. Look at Columbus it Columbus the -- they lose again and they didn't longevity -- unfortunately he's probably gone but. If they make you want I don't know can fire a guy who made it -- mark got."
" Those who do we see stuff like that before and other sports no I ask you Leo how does a pretty. Hands on owner from when I seen my question even britney's interesting I mean we've heard him. Bandy about and his name bandied about other openings. -- closed since he's been that she was US including the Seattle job but the guy who's interviewed and was on the short list before. The Chicago job and last opened up and also I was on the -- was from Seattle job. A -- narrator is not go is is now gone. Or the other guy who you heard it was actually offered the Chicago job was John Spencer. -- now do you think that the there's regret that he didn't get one of those one of those guys and you know former player a foreign guy. Who has alienated a little more personality charisma like both the spending and iron --"
" Maybe I don't know their regret the being -- question and I have opposite -- I think I've obviously did want and then they only offered in the job. And that sort of settled for the announcement. -- more -- got hired we kept all the players and indeed they communicate the job and in the consulting. -- that the corporation on -- assessment and second option but then -- more than willing kicked out for himself I don't know there's in the abandoned them in the playoffs. Last couple years and I think you've been pretty good but who say whether or not -- to a -- and would say when another."
" Yeah I also heard they heard they offered Spencer really short money it was not only barely equivalent to. When he's making -- assists in Houston and."
" And I put it. But he says you can -- should the money -- couldn't wasn't enough to motivate you to move my hand from Houston bush."
" Well that's -- strange to me though because Tom has spent money on players you brought food at a deeply. You know it and not everybody is made of money the way you know EG. Paul wiles in Joe -- of world -- but it seems strange to me. That the -- of Seattle and LA. We'll splashed casting you know together and head coach. What you know especially after getting kind of outbid for Juan Carlos was Oreo that -- that scenario that was unfortunate and sort of embarrassing for Chicago. Why -- they spend if you want you know if you 900000 dollars or. -- a couple of template in multiples of 10000 extra bit to get it John Spencer."
" I didn't have to remember that it and there was no good news on the job relatively new on the job all of us can go out. He's -- took over the club. One and August. And then all that. The cooking -- also happened in December and January want to look at this summer and and then as the -- was I think in early January stroke. Who's sending a contusion and maybe god -- understand a little bit -- money I mean I'm -- high profile coach patent. My personal Internet and couple other people. Would say that he he want. Coke a dynamic coach now and is a good coach and -- player's coach and former player and but he's not a dynamic."
" LA is dynamically when he you know went to the wall with. The cars tomorrow."
" Well yeah that wouldn't have this big moment but other than that he's not high profile coach he's not a."
" He's a cool. You guys low temperature it's you what you like and a lot of situations."
" So does he want him to. Have more interest in getting you know got an international coach maybe a little bit more actions does -- want somebody. Who could be maybe if they. Franchise. -- about -- benefits that your coach he the most dynamic person on the team affiliated with the club momentarily and block or. I want -- not a dynamic person that he's really soccer player and a leader but he's you know not nearly."
" I would describe -- with a colorful character but he's here here's a personality is certainly well now it. You told me last Enron. That the Broncos is and always in the back for for 2010 without McBride."
" I'm glad that the big question and that they have a lot questions they have -- or seven guys that I cannot. Back which is another reason why they're gonna do it they better they better win because if you. Could there realistically get blown up that it lost all -- civil -- in my car I don't think again Condit back. I don't think I don't know Michael top of another question mark I don't think. They'll get it back that sounds. Look like the big one when he went down with his shoulder injury in July August. Q and he's not real talkative and that was very cryptic about the reasons why he was getting this surgery then he says a lot of do it. Ownership opinion amounts. If you could talk about it now you talk about that later I think he wanted to come back I couldn't they want to clearly won here I don't think you can go anywhere else I don't think. I mean helping that market comeback in England and I don't think. And the economy -- in an -- he's come here. And here he felt bad about approving them he wanted to come back here and facility and get another daughter. I don't know but I will take back rumor that I heard was. Brian what could put an offer into the fire and the fire rejected I was gonna wait and see if that was worth the money that you're going to be productive done. Do all in -- day and and I don't know I think you probably don't and beyond in terms of the leadership is --"
" And I for a comeback player of the year for Sony just -- in these instances since coming back from injury last."
" Monsoon. If you ask anybody in -- he's one of those clear and understood I'm glad that he is a leader and about and that's invaluable right and I'm thinking about that. Probably everyone."
" Absolutely no I'm I'm a fan always have been and I think he's only got better with age because. This -- hurricane savvy and now he does so much more than just win would have balls knockdowns and then you know score goals they'll -- people always talk about -- in front of goal in the air. But -- I these investor link of -- in the history of the room he just seems."
" He's really great and no last season and scored the loss in the men's coach I'm looking toward not portable he almost article written. In on the road -- all that cost side and from what I need. Click -- begin and he scored a lot of movement in this field and sort of cool off in the -- in the -- He's a pretty clutch play -- a lot of invaluable and off the field for the -- because the local that we couldn't -- you could put up a billboard. Because these guys that everybody went journey to the game with a that's a compliment -- in that fashion you know telemarketing except an informal way to -- structure."
" All right well unless you -- your neck out now. You said that the Chicago be content with a draw. In game one which by the way is now on Sunday through and by losing -- Oprah knows that by now but there's one of the clear it's not on Saturday Sunday. On 111 November 1 2 PM kickoff doing time. What do you think happens in a series -- your production."
" I think I'm thinking about this and particularly -- that it kept hoping it could and so consistent but I think. I think they go into and I -- begin to draw the outcome for -- like that but couldn't get go and then get the draw. I think that. I think they come home and win -- going to be pretty good I think he just have a little bit too much debt and now not -- got a -- and I think. I think. I was a little bit too much debt but I don't know that and get that even -- could -- and I don't see the fire. I'm -- out in front -- because on the what kind -- ethnic coming in all over this period not amendment you know. But I would illegal amendment it."
" Passengers -- released any prediction the game itself figures into the past -- The answers. All right -- good stuff nobody has more more stuff from on the Chicago when you do in -- next time now now. -- Yeah okay I get I'm gonna do. I apologize I'm practice next time that it according to write good stuff like urge everybody review on on the moon sometimes website and appreciated. Let them."
" Wells was C on -- on Sunday night. Now I again I want to emphasize the game is now. The 2 PM kickoff on Sunday that's a fox soccer channel radio WR can -- to get out to the game. This playoff soccer you can see all the football highlights and like 120 -- knowledge it was and a patriots game. In -- homeless patriots accused games can be done right what do you do to be a nice day on Sunday get out to the game I quick break -- back Jim down."

The dot com longtime observer of the team and joining us live from a restraining right now -- right."
" I'm very well it's. Looking thing. Dodgers have -- they left about an hour ago in the to -- as oh running around claiming. It looked bright. You know -- the field but everybody's you know and like well -- so. Good lightly training. And considering it -- for two days you know it does a lot of cobwebs out that was that game."
" Yeah and a lot of turbulence usually flying out of -- Columbus don't know if I attribute those on the shorter trips and always music -- bad weather and you -- and I. But I I by religion if you -- do."
" If you're numbers out this time to go to -- let me know I don't want to miss through the reason you're on the -- because I know you're doing columns on. I know I've you know policy -- case and OK well that you get you have to say this this series of events and sequence of events. Was improbable if not impossible going into the weekend who. I thought there as you -- The playoff place Saturday night's the results when his wells they could have hoped. I love it you what if you read them you know a computer program the pilot told there's a lot of wanted to 51 point chance of that happening."
" exactly well. -- it -- sort of reminded me of 2002 went you know they didn't qualifier about. But of course this is much more as a mathematical. Do any thing but. Yeah that was I have this funny feeling going into Saturday that the things are gonna go away. And entrances. They still could not qualified I was in the game in Columbus and the fact that took against the Columbus it was actually yeah. While the morning and exciting game that is not just in terms of quality of."
" Yeah I it was certainly a fun game over. All I think there are a lot of events I think both teams especially the rest try to attack now. From sort of pure football point of view you have to be honest it's in that -- wants a lot of balls down the channel. Janikowski is and I -- really you know cancel each other values like two heavyweights leaning on each other in the sort of middle rounds editor on late night boxing you know didn't. Look like to me. And I do -- never really looked like spring preview I thought but way here's a -- solid equality of his of this service was as good as we've seen. And you know it was a great battle in midfield in the video both teams you know created -- just the reds kept us don't want to mostly quiet. --"
" Yeah -- is the first guy we see get a step on all testimony here. Yeah that was really. -- okay going to events and I doubt you look on launching tonight next. -- thanks Jim we'll see a little bit later me call you back okay."
" Okay sounds good idea mark Watson now with the team now should mention that we talked about it on a Sunday night. Watson the Kennedy international play four games at the reds back in 1986 and he is CIA interim. Our first assistant coach now under Steve Nicol after the departure Paul mariner. And I got to spend some time mark over the we -- great guy a real football guy you know we played over in England. For teams like Oxford united high value came out of university BC Basra and the Canadian League. The best known on in this. Country not just replaying through a Columbus Crew will also replace for the Charleston Battery winning a championship. With the you've been a leading US on one battery. Many species that's still human cell by the way there's one doings there with -- a second division in the owners are rising up against -- new ownership of the -- That's another story all of Watson I think you know. He's out he's not Paul mariner but he's he's he's a smart guy he's been these. Charleston Battery. And he is a -- very -- accomplish that soccer person. Who knows the risk actually play for DC united -- the only blot on his copy book but I he -- for DC Columbus. And the resident in Indiana last. I had -- gone pretty well over in England as well and also had you know three stints at various generations of Vancouver played with Montreal. He's been all over the place. Ottawa. -- three of the team's -- in the old Canadian -- actually fold over the years he was there nothing do with him brilliant is this sort of fly by night situation until. Some of the better a Canadian teams gone into the yeah. Into the meeting. But in any case I'm mark Watson former senator Barack is now the third member revolutionize. Coaching staff -- Williams and we may be seen whether rocks and sticks around next year or not he does have a job. With the Charleston Battery isn't mentioned. You know he's he's pretty settled down there but he certainly would certainly be good candidate. In the meantime the -- big about the series coming up. All the history and -- at the rays got their first ever playoff win against Chicago back in 2000 that he had turned off remember six nothing. At Soldier Field. So -- Nazis came crashing. Crashing to a halt the so the other that nasty 2002 series the image of -- Raza stamping on on jay -- comes to mind. Than he would in 2005 there's also well you know 2003. You had to Chris Armas or -- who was in an extra time at the new Soldier Field. First and -- packed that stadium to play after a couple years of the virus Naperville. And then in 2005. There was that you complete war on the floor one nothing game. Now whether as scored I believe pretty early in the game and then. And then Gonzales cigars. Here to have scored. But there was offside and Andy Herron went nuts and -- the the linesman. All hell broke loose at the end of the game and you know his act -- and has -- Joseph had a thing and it is really pretty close to being you know full on -- Gillette Stadium security. That is very well with them mark restrain -- realize that the pictures that. Where you -- sort of sorted things out before this that he was really. I get into it but that's sort of set the tone for the next. Couple years the reds pulled out and that penalty kick shootout in victory in 2006. Where you -- Guerrero the guy who would. Sort of median yield of Sharif -- all the order for each Hillary and all that. Now is an incredible. Incredible moment in recent -- making those those penalties. Then in 2007. The -- as the prevailed again. And went onto the to the files and and in no way it was a Chicago last year -- the drawing -- and then of so when the nasty tempered game at least the end. Three nothing in Chicago and resolve packets sent off after a -- blog go broke -- best. I gamesmanship or for that win but it deservedly so it really sets up another great series to game series home and home. I ripples penalties to decide if they're still tied. At the end game to game two will be Saturday on the seventh. At Toyota Park game one again I don't mean to be a dead horse but it's worth mentioning tell all your friends just of people aren't confused the game is now at 2 o'clock on Sunday. Game 1:2 o'clock Sunday and a I got a message for the producer and Khatami era in nine years ago -- They wanted to get off the air. Reason people wanna hear my voice entrance at the seriousness. Break it's time for the break aren't with a quick break we'll be right back is great producing by."
" the -- is new England's premier entertainment dining and shopping destination experience -- patriot place presented by drinking and interactive museum dedicated to the history of England but the family will wanna check out early this summer movie showcase -- for a concert -- and -- this live -- retailers and the reasons only -- gunshots.

A person special events are always happy to take place from dropped the plaza every Saturday and Sunday to the kids love story time every Tuesday to the area's largest -- dislike -- location bathroom next to Gillette Stadium and parking is -- store and restaurant hours and event and it's a good -- stuff. --"
" And and we."
" I want to thank. Bryant's -- on saving myself for myself. --"
" I was I was teeing up to six years and he does is brought down the free in the iron long this the steel curtain. But I yet you're right let's get to our next guest -- Oh patriot place and may I suggest that was dark and I'm that was doctor fat fingering that. Let me suggest launch a patriot place what a nice day to stay right go to CBS scene. Or two east Windsor state jacks or five guys you wanna have agrees run and -- and as you pay that traveling Chicago fans the north and the steam. On. Red Robin for amber. -- Louis -- is the scene and that's the scene after the game. CBS scene. That's him that's closest. Anyway get to the game and -- mentioned get to the game and I indoor team starts this week and I'm telling everybody they're playing time is. Directly linked to. Whether they come to the game or not when guys do know will be at the game even though he changed it. They changed the game but he still of the must change his plane ticket. -- result -- that analyst for fox soccer channel. An analyst coverage all -- is with us now so how -- and a."
" And do great Brett thanks for having me on good morning yeah I'm on the west coast -- did. Make a nice look up the people."
" You yeah I'm glad again the captain's job and I'm sorry to wake up -- we appreciate it helps us. Promote the game that it -- out last night that that they changed at times."
" Well we have I think whatever it was going down on Sunday our producer who was second that we might be going back -- you know we've had hoped that they and a -- show that we didn't go away. And one of the points that we empathize with that -- teams that are playing well and then I mean I don't play in the right away that can compete with any of these eighteen. That make it you want if you get through work. And a lot hook up -- that it only are breaking down let the post game show I had. Have a feeling that New England is gonna go to Columbus and here we -- that's -- and I wouldn't be surprised that sure enough they did. We have so we had to figure out which if we were gonna get we're gonna be on the west coast to quit gonna go to Seattle the other -- Thursday night game. So that any individual go backe back. Which is good because it I think it is luck this was the rematch of the semifinal actually write people out there may not."
" Well as a rematch now five years in a row solely -- they get about a strong rivalry in the playoffs. At least a consistent as consistent rivalries we've had the time this decade these teams come together in the playoffs so. And there isn't continuity with personnel and stuff you know you go back to journey so today there was no evidence."
" Yeah I mean obviously New England is gonna live shot -- at all until they hated coming on Sunday you know no problem with easy adjustment. And looking forward to. This series -- I think it's gonna be exciting I think in New England this job. You know starting to peak given the circumstances of the players that they were McCain and in which you obviously think you'd like get behind twellman and Ralston. That won't be there but they'll be there entry it. And always gonna be difficult -- in Chicago you talked about I heard that lateral. They went there we can't let the -- speculating in Chicago I think it could come down connect speculate that it is under Canadian limit. And I think get New England they have to play almost a perfect game. In both matches -- come out of it and can pass through but they'd you have that capability -- cogent --"
" Well the game that I look too because it's injury even. In their two regular season matches in the semifinals. A super league Christopher. The reds lost 21 and game where they actually dominated in terms of chances -- seventeen. Three year five as a but he came down to moments block of putting an inning and he was allowed to pick up his head and left flank but an inch perfect -- crossed. This Brian McBride finish first time and then to ride. Drew a foul the top of the box with light contact rookie Darius marched they then block of winners from the dead ball. So is as -- to moments equality for two guys that changed the whole thing. And that's and he is being -- between the -- because twellman and Ralston the guys are giving equality in the red sites how the -- Mentally prepared to deal with things you know these things -- Fox's."
" Who everything you talk about right there is right on I think at fifteen love the play out of the -- you know. The cream rises to the crop and inadequate like about fifty local blog -- like Donovan Beckham. You know each team in Seattle you have you have a couple -- example Lanka and -- where they can make a different that the you know. And can recognize the moment the failures of big interview the -- touch on the game. In it and initiate. I think that. It ended standpoint and also I -- conclude an excellent well I mean even the facial expressions of all the Chicago. And play -- They know that new England's very competent capable they have the capacity -- thinking -- and they went back to that period in the coming together I think that. New England -- also -- in the regular meeting in Chicago. Like. Chicago -- the government they cut in the last game but that particular time that you probably everybody said. It was great -- when they hit the elderly. And then they came back -- you know if you look at it regain that they've played to that -- where they've where they've pushed out where they have a great little surge. Where they come back up. I think have to play the game with a great Chicago. In the last match that we did two weeks ago -- came out. They came out. The movement. Was. You know there was heightened awareness and there he. -- like -- recovery collectively cover when they were playing which is very important yeah. Cannot allow Chicago Kabila at the time and space between it and -- in view -- the upshot could be on the way out. And play truly -- Chicago will kill you they have a handful of players. You know when you're we have a plethora of players in the -- That can move up -- feel very quickly and they can they can do it in a coordinated fashion. But I liked the way it wasn't that high energy with players running without an idea I think with the idea that it was all through the coal and nuclear. Everything came out of the midfield and -- and who -- what they were really mean -- always been available. They collected the ball they've got a reputable -- like Clinton cabinet and the union. --"
" Yeah yeah and it's always it's always very good against Columbus is is that his services very good."
" Yeah yeah I think it's important and that the early scene in that game -- guy who works for you Brad. Did we want it to count. You know the community that quality -- that we're coming into their pushing. Yahoo! called and on the right side -- and -- forwarding he was torment can step back -- position. Of Chicago that you need that type of not only with this -- that type of pressure that going to be coordinating attribute think. Is gonna come down to New England when they really can't legally do it without twellman is finishing the big goal of finishing when they get their moment. You know -- kept one early in that can put himself could figure -- that energy the pressure that they can get two or maybe three. I hope they have to try to play that type. That the nature. The mentality of an Hamlet an independent. -- he goes away he's gonna try to be secure in the beginning of the -- try to be secure he'll try to fake -- and organized block very compact. Jolie Pitt got sickened fifteen minute and then when they have their local push forward when you watch when you observe how Chicago pushes forward it's pretty impressive. You -- in that. It's very coordinated. -- top players that you will play like Koppel McBride luckily the allowing. But you came in the other data also got heated at this speed declared a couple. You have the speed of play at the Campbell a what New -- gonna bring in this game what with the players around him bailout can play. You know and he can he can work because you've got players around them that will put -- in into the game."
" What is your read on Garcia caskets for the revolution scored a great goal -- only go on that and that super league is sending you against Chicago and he. He's he's more tactical I think people give him credit for because of his size -- played Osasuna and port though and he has soft food. Do you see him as a guy can be different regular listeners."
" I think he -- to be an idea forgetting that twice giving a lot of in yeah. You have this structure behind you play a little into it can go to achieve political clout he wouldn't be human Dolly -- I'd like to feel a little bit more variation -- commercial came in the second half. That Castro actually the better linking. -- To a player like I took out here and then be in the other two white players and their pure speed they get to -- is becoming a little bit predictable one dimensional dot org. If you're playing a team in the middle of the -- where they're flat footed you know there might be might. Much if not might not be a playoff mentality you know -- every element of the game that secure. And I think you need you always -- different kind of variation but he looks like -- player that. You know he's got the quality control backed out what I would stay on the ball and a couple of speed of the game that you see regularly Cochran you know better than they want. You know in the country because you followed American. Football for so long that you -- a couple. It becomes. Without the auto without the rhythm and change the -- Hey that's like -- like Iran Kuwait and Joseph are so important because they can give you concur -- that can turn out quick quick combinations and a lot of ball behind this -- You know to to to a player from -- position so it it if he can stay in the area work a box I like that little bit that I've seen him. Play when he clearly within a short while ago it looked a little bit that I pinnacle you can tell that he's that good -- I think it is going to be. I don't actually they have to play that game every single player on the field you could bring. Above what they can it ended the actual contribution as well let me. In that he could have. Action you know you're running 2030 yards out of -- don't they would play maybe that equipped to deal with what Campbell you'll have another twenty or thirty yard cannot allow him he's got third option that. That might be the option that he -- you want."
" Rather that it takes it away from here you come over you -- shoulder on and then he draws a foul."
" Luckily they suck and you as a coach you've got a demand. And then -- even think about they give these players that I will contraction of the country the feeling if you want to -- port for auction -- different -- they don't seem sequentially like here's 1234. You know -- like how you talk about how Brady is all corps there make him. And they gonna decide negatively the Wright want if you put the right a lot of pressure on -- you know maybe two of those options go away just because W president. You know being called the player in the way that you hunt them down I think that New England to pick came with a right mentality the last time they played Chicago they -- With the same country than country and hopefully they can get -- goal for new England and they look at guru. And so we will that the -- going back."
" Alan no question no question if you let us as we have the last relating -- the goal at home and then. They they had to open up a little bit more than they probably wanted to in the second game look around -- other series. Columbus Salt Lake you got Seattle Houston you got super classic go home and home and home with LH US USA. What do you think -- officers."
" he -- from when you look at. Seattle is what a great matchup -- Dominic Kinnear. That -- that they go back to and he was -- technical support on the US national team. And Dominic and there was one of the players that -- kept cook but the World Cup canola and it is with great interest untreated. They've been here each other -- well I think that the biggest one of those guys that. If you look like he'd. Even vehicle you get into the playoffs and each game of the one out situation and that this scale hit. In their favor because they know how to do the preparation during the workweek -- how to get their players -- the end and the equality. Within the and the moment. Think Seattle is that came in golf ball you can we covered that leapt upon -- that they played enough. Help I'll look up and it was it was pretty disappointed. Absolutely intentional -- to the -- but why -- down to -- because they felt they they need to walk. -- that that it was going to be easy and they were very high in advance in in that cock and the in the packet we were vulnerable in the back so I think they've been very patient when everybody the -- the players that. That you. That you can break the pattern in committed contraction it was like what goes in the loop. Getting forward into the presidential election equipment in the behind Seattle can immediately huge edge. Source Seattle on the first play it's gonna come down again all the -- of them could actually. I like you I'm very excited to watch a game I get a little slight edge. On the surprise element here where Seattle that maybe they can not go crew. The only mentions. Like doctor Bruce Arena -- today -- we're talking about a player in Europe and and he's -- got a laser focus you know I think he's got everything right -- you know all cylinders innovative and -- quite confident. They gallantry you know they're doing and when you have a player like Landon Donovan and -- Beckham who. Beckham now in -- first came to the week. And everybody was talking about it's free kick and so forth and and that that all the glamour and is he really good -- and that we've broken down I think that you get the weather in New York on fox yeah. And I said I -- People need to the other thing that David Beckham interview you'll play with a Real Madrid which can be I would colliding indeed -- phenomenal Raoul you know there he picked up a lot of -- can change the rhythm and you've got an incredible vision and you'll feel. After playing we love him that well if he got a call from a single greatest lucrative go to -- in as a professional it was great but it also kept in motivating. In the pace -- why you play in the first question he brought them back LA. Go to couldn't complete pink it's not the most exciting team in the world. LA galaxy I don't think that I -- thinking but that's all it you know they have -- veteran had a good to pollution. They know how to play with complete vehicle right allegedly gave in or out yet in the key players. Inconvenient incorporate him. With good rhythm going forward for the team that and -- graduate -- you know who is down between -- and in the first half that loss to Chicago in Chicago the week before and certainly that give a little conflict which outlook but -- cookie again -- the competitive heat -- those two team if this thing. And New England in Chicago. And you get this thing kind of even though they're going to be in about Albania look at that could be one he took. You know one part of the field definitely going to be. Thoughtful in that territory we shouldn't be a golf course every minute."
" And any chance. The Columbus gets battered. Open the altitude Real Salt Lake it's tough to play there."
" Columbus to the one team. When there. The composition that they can in the makeup of the team that it when you watch them. -- legally go back three weeks because we've been -- and worked rather well actually we try. And you go back connect came in Columbus never had to kick it out of first year you were doing was -- and that -- 11 deal that would with a location -- that they're very well balanced in the center of if they get into the match and they look good cap and not all that heroic figure it out. Good good can control it on the field as a team collectively they've been probably the most impressive fifteen. That can -- you get. That they see the light they click in in the adapted very well what what they're up again I think that the altitude is. Definitely question but more importantly just the way that -- can Christ. Had Real Salt Lake play in the last -- when they play their best football they can best football we've seen in the whole year yeah. I think within -- and there was one -- where. They didn't score but they made -- vodka. -- But the fluidity of the movement and they're changing in the in the final -- between I'd say maybe you know multiple platform -- clay. It would like they were playing on memory and then Andy Williams pat Healy concluded by it by trying to bend around that got our culture would that be -- why. But -- doubt that action right there was telling it was beautiful if you had shown that eloquently well so all over the world -- can cool. -- brilliant beautiful beautiful. Until they have their right -- they have the right. Temple that they -- there."
" Whole. Leo that this story would live as they haven't been able to. Gore you know this day that call we have -- in -- they have a little bit going to win it. When it counted you know the first half and coalition great pictures they're back for a stroll. All it hurt like -- You know haters give you one very short he's vertical -- a -- hi Anita good Kuwait by the way that I -- will be all good will be I've had violated health good when. We -- doing and I think you're good -- On the left side a couple of hit that link it to -- I don't think that Columbus has an outstanding. Central midfield. You know but he did what they get below quite clear they do a lot of the white I think all would do much more. You know to open up big gaming yet but could you -- go forward then -- what you see a lot of people yeah I think it. I think it does Salt Lake in the altitude. You're gonna be difficult for coalition would then obviously they come back to Columbus public hasn't been quite it's quite good on the road having."
