• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The entire area around.
• 0:02
  Speaker 2: Greg was talking about Occidental First Avenue South. I took
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: the train. I am the king, the absolute, undisputed King
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: of mass Transit. Now I took No one knows mass
• 0:14
  Speaker 2: transit more than me.
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: I am.
• 0:16
  Speaker 2: I am numeral udo King of mass Transits.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I'll get to that in a second.
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry. You're a mayor and a king.
• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I'm both, Yes, mayor on Friday, the King of mass Transit.
• 0:29
  Speaker 2: All right, all right, yeah, I borrowed the trident thing
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: from across the street.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: But we're no, we're here.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: I got off the train at not King Street, but
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: Union Station, which I.
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: Guess is where the light rail goes. How you got
• 0:45
  Speaker 1: off to Jackson Union Station? Probably? Yeah? Uh.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: And it was like just walking around right by the
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: International District, by Chinatown was busy.
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: I said this the other day. Let me just get
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: this out of the way.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: If I see one more blank blank story on local
• 1:02
  Speaker 2: news about how the International District is really disappointing with
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: the turnout for the World Cup, I'm gonna lose my mind.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: You know what you do when you get off the train,
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: you walk west. That's a way. That's a way from
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: the International District.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: And there was a part of me that says, I
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: wouldn't mind going to the Tie Tongue right now and
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: getting some spicy noodles.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: Sure, phenomenal place, one of my favorite places.
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: When I need you do that.
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: Because it was ten to fifteen in the morning, that's
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: probably why. And if I go in there, I've never
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: gone to the Tie Tongue without having a four finger
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: pour of a cocktail as well. And I got to
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: do a three hour show, so I'll leave that to
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: other people to do.
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: No four fingers for three hours gonna be good.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: It would have been good, Yeah, would have been good,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: But who knows what I'll say it.
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: But anyway, Yeah, I get off the thing, walk down
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: towards the stadiums, walk by King Street station and and
• 1:47
  Speaker 2: I mean it's just people everywhere.
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: I don't even know where they're going.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: Because like our friends at the Hall, the Occidental Hall,
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: which is just down the street, their beer garden opened
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: at noon. They were open already for breakfast. But they're open,
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: their beer gardens full, across the streets full. There's just
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: people everywhere. And before I go any further, and we're
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: gonna getting all the controversy anything else nice to have
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: the band back together, even only for one.
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: Day, Jess only sticking around.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: Yea, even even just for one day. The three of
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: us back together doing a show. It's been a long time.
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: And Jess Anders left us unceremoniously, just left us to do,
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: I don't know, move into his new house.
• 2:23
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, take care of it, you take life.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: Take care of his baby.
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: And then uh, and then and then this do this
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: world Cup thing which he's been doing every night with
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: his podcast.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: He just left us. And then somewhere in the mix,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: Jess left me.
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: I think I has issues.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: I think Ian's got to look in the mirror apparently.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: What's the common denominator here? What is the common denominator
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: we were talking about earlier off the record, right, what's
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the common denominator?
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: Three coaches? And you might be you? Two people leaving
• 2:55
  Speaker 1: you and you, It might be me, I might be.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: Shane, right, I don't know anyway, Good to have everybody
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: back together. Uh, just give me a feel because Greg
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: actually brought up a really good point earlier, and I
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: hadn't thought of this. Because people listen the secondary market,
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: you know, soft you'll tell you to go to venue
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: Kings or whatever, and everyone's got their secondary market. They
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: like the Venue Kings, big sponsor for the station, so
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: we would I would say go to Venue Kings as well.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: They don't pay me, they just pay him. But I
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: would say go to Venue Kings. Yes, but if you do,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: if you're gonna do it like like important thing Drake said,
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: if you're gonna do like you do for a seahawk
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: game or a cracking game or maybe even a concert
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: where you just hang out around the venue, Yeah, and
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: wait until the last second to go in and ticket prices,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: FIFA cuts it off.
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: I think he said what a half hour something before,
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Probably more like an hour. Yeah.
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: So like if you're not if you don't have a
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: ticket by four o'clock and you think you can go
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: on secondary market, you're gonna be out of luck because
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: FIFA cuts you off. And if you do buy a ticket,
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: you might be throwing two thousand dollars away because they're
• 3:52
  Speaker 2: not gonna be in. So that said, if you're not
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: going to the game, but you're want, you're driving around,
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: you're taking I kind of want to go just you
• 3:59
  Speaker 2: did the wright I did? Yeah, Australia mess Okay, so
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: what was that experience like and how would would you
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: recommend it?
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: It was absolutely fabulous. Men and Blazers did their podcast,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: their show with Marshawn Lynch.
• 4:13
  Speaker 3: When I was there, it was early in the morning.
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: It was at like eight thirty when they did their
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: whole show, but he was He was wonderful and everything
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: is fine and safe. If people are nervous about going downtown,
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't be.
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: Can we ask you this, Can you see and watch
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: the game? Okay?
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: Yes, okay, there's screens going to that and then I
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: can't see the game.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: Oh no, no, no, like everywhere in Pioneer Square they
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: have screens everywhere.
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Actually, I would recommend Pioneer Square.
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Front.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Yes, well, I mean it depends on what you want.
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: But Pioneer Square, like all of the businesses are together
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: and airing them all.
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Yes, exactly. It's very communal. So yeah, I don't know.
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: I don't think you're gonna find a bad spot.
• 5:06
  Speaker 2: Well, this is this this place down here, I mean
• 5:09
  Speaker 2: is is actually fantastic. It's the whole area.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: Oh where you guys are. Yeah, it's just gonna be
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: tough to find a spot.
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: But I would I want to go back because the
• 5:20
  Speaker 1: debates we hear and all the guys there is and
• 5:23
  Speaker 1: I don't even think this is up for debate.
• 5:26
  Speaker 2: This is and probably will be forever or at least
• 5:29
  Speaker 2: in all of our lifetimes. Yeah, the biggest event I
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: think takes sports out of it that our city has
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: ever seen. The even if we did get a Super Bowl,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: and I can tell you for a fact, the Seahawks
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: have zero desire because I've asked the question almost every year.
• 5:48
  Speaker 2: They have zero desire to host it. They don't want
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: to host it. Even if the NFL said, hey, we'd
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: like you to hoe. They want no part of it.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: But a super Bowl, it's two teams in the same
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: country from two cities. And yes it's a world wide event.
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: It gets huge numbers across the globe, but it's not
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: the World Cup. We're not going to get the Olympics
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: here probably ever. Again, that's not something city has to
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: bid on it, and our city would never do that,
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: and that would have.
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: To be summer Olympics.
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: Anyway, we don't have a mountain that's good enough for
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: skiing at that level. True, that's why it's going back
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: to Salt Lake or even BC again. But so we
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: won't have to the Olympics here, but even Olympics. I
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: can tell you from being in salt Lake, living in
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: salt Lake in two thousand and two with the Winter Olympics,
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: that was awesome. This is different, probably better, bigger, yes,
• 6:32
  Speaker 2: because it's well the differences the Olympics and I wasn't
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: up in Vancouver when they've had it up there. But
• 6:39
  Speaker 2: the thing with the Olympics is it's the venues are
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: spread out all over the place. Now, salt Lake did
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: it right. They did a downtown medal ceremony every night
• 6:46
  Speaker 2: that all the athletes that won medals. They and they
• 6:49
  Speaker 2: had a cant live concert every night with big bands
• 6:52
  Speaker 2: right down by Temple Square, and it was pretty cool.
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: We went down there two or three times, and that
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: was at night. Differences it's cold sometimes it was snowing.
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: It's seventy five degrees and people are wandering around our
• 7:02
  Speaker 2: city right now, waterfront everywhere. And then what's gonna happen
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: tonight on the global stage. This is far and away.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: It's not the biggest soccer event, it's not the biggest
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: sporting event. It's the biggest event our city would ever see.
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: I'm trying to think what could rival with even if
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: we had a convention for the Democrats with the Republicans
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: right doesn't rival that. And most people are so mad
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: at the other side they don't want any part of it.
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: So this is as big as it gets. Suck, you know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: soak it all in, enjoy it, take it all in.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: Tonight it's gonna be special. I'm jacked because my two
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: guys have credentials. They're going to the match and we
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: got I am psyched for that. Those two guys will
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: be in, they'll do a pregame show, then they're gonna
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: bust ass inside. They're gonna bust ass outside, do a
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: postgame show.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: Came for it, man, Yes, we are, yes. And I
• 7:58
  Speaker 1: said this.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: I said this to Andrews zero where Jackson sitting next me.
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: Lu says, this is not MLS obviously, and this is
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: I just went on and on about how it's a
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: bigger event that we've ever had before. But as far
• 8:10
  Speaker 2: as the sport of soccer is concerned, Jackson for years
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: and Andrews recently since he joined US, you two guys
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: have held the flag for soccer up especially Jackson for
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: a long time in this city. And I'm glad you
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: guys are gonna go in there. I'm glad you gonna
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: experience it because you guys deserve it. You you are
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: the ones, the torch bearers for this sport, and everyone
• 8:30
  Speaker 2: else is getting to see how great and beautiful sport
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: it can be despite all the nonsense that's gone on
• 8:34
  Speaker 2: in the last few days.
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: Drama, a lot of drama.
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: But what would a FIFA World Cup event be, Andrews
• 8:40
  Speaker 2: without some drama.
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: Exactly. It's all about man, screw the rest of the world.
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: Baligan's gonna play.
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: Rest you guys, if you can see me right now
• 8:47
  Speaker 2: underneath the kJ R table, I got two fingers up
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: for you, USA, USA, God bless America. Stop playing NFL
• 8:55
  Speaker 2: games in Europe and stop bitching about Baligan playing.
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: I can tell you what through the rest of the world.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Tell you one thing.
• 9:00
  Speaker 5: Country Roads take me home, not Wonderwall, even though that
• 9:04
  Speaker 5: was pretty cool, yes, exactly, every every team has like
• 9:07
  Speaker 5: their own. Uh yeah that was cool. Yeah, But it's
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: gonna be Country Roads for us today. Hope, yes, hopefully
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: that Balligan brace today is gonna hit like crack and
• 9:17
  Speaker 5: Belgium is gonna get pissed h and we're gonna win
• 9:20
  Speaker 5: two to one, and everyone's gonna scream and complain and
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: we're just gonna take it and stride and go to
• 9:25
  Speaker 5: the quarterfinals for the first.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: You guys can scream and complain all you want, Like,
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: here's the thing with FIFA this And I don't know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: maybe this is a bad analogy. I don't know, but
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: I went back. Jackson pointed this out on social media.
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: Maybe you did too, but I think it's a lot
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: of people. Other people have to the red card was
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: issued in a way that does not follow the procedures
• 9:45
  Speaker 2: and protocol of how it's supposed to be executed.
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: As far as the replay, that's like an NFL.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: That'd be like if if an NFL officials looking up
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: at the big screen going, god, we miss that call.
• 9:55
  Speaker 2: We better, we better, no challenge flag throwing, like no,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: we're just gonna go ahead and and use. You can't
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: do that, right, You cannot do that even if it's
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: the right call, which I still don't think it was
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: the right call looking at the challenge started with Balligan
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: having the other player behind it, right, But that said,
• 10:13
  Speaker 2: it was ex two one.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: So did FIFA do the right thing?
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: Yes, but not in the right way. I think that's
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: probably the way to look at it. And and I'm
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: but you know what I'm in. I'm all in Andrews,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: I'm all in Balligan players. And by the way, tell
• 10:27
  Speaker 2: us what os as are fore. Yeah, we got Portugal
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: Spain going on at the same time. Just I mean
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: the Iberian rivalry that is Portugal versus Spain. It's the
• 10:36
  Speaker 2: two teams with the oldest border, I believe of two
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: modern countries in history.
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: Not a history lesson Gus goes back to twelve o seven.
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: I believe you study in college or something.
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, I don't.
• 10:48
  Speaker 5: I don't do any research or anything for games I'm
• 10:50
  Speaker 5: doing or anything like that. So Daily Podcast Daily Podcast
• 10:54
  Speaker 5: reports that no, I just I just wing it. But no,
• 10:58
  Speaker 5: I said, it's a great game. And there's some there's
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: some beef between these two countries. So it's a it's
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: a it's a it's hard to be you know, this
• 11:04
  Speaker 5: couple good chances early. Yes, Spain's looking pretty good, but
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: also Portugal on the other side. And why is this important, Well,
• 11:11
  Speaker 5: it's because this is who the US, if they were
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: to win tonight, would play in the quarterfinals. So this
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: is a little bit of a preview. I'm doing some
• 11:18
  Speaker 5: scouting ian as well.
• 11:19
  Speaker 2: Okay, here, all right, so is Jackson Jackson is more
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: intense right now than I've ever seen.
• 11:24
  Speaker 5: Well because Spain's picked to win the tournament. So if
• 11:27
  Speaker 5: they lose, now, yikes.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: That wouldn't get pointed out? Would that get pointed out
• 11:32
  Speaker 2: in a pregame show? Probably not. Oh, he would admit it.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: He would admit it. Would Yeah, you'd make sure he admitted.
• 11:38
  Speaker 2: I would make sure would Yes, that's exactly.
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: How that goes.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, well, yeah, great, So no score there in the
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: seventeenth minute, making the eighteenth minute right now with Portugal
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: and Spain. So here's the bottom line tonight. It's US
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: and it's Belgium. Belgium was really unimpressive for eighty five
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: minutes in the round of thirty two in.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: Their first three games. Yeah, they find their way here.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: They haven't left. They've been practicing down the sounders. Hopefully
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: they gave him some food poison or something down there, Schmitzer,
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: make the grass a little bit longer. They do something
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: down there. Give me your thoughts on Baligan and the decision,
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: the decision that came down yesterday.
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean I think I think we just kind
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: of figured out the best way to look at it.
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: For me, I think it's the right decision. It's just
• 12:17
  Speaker 5: the process is a little weird for some people. But
• 12:20
  Speaker 5: for those who are saying it's unprecedented, first of all,
• 12:24
  Speaker 5: if this is what it took for you to realize
• 12:25
  Speaker 5: that FIFA is corrupt, I'm sorry.
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Well, I mean, listen, set bladder, the old FIFA president
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: Wade in already.
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he wasn't corrupt at all, not at all, not
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: at all.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's no, no one's.
• 12:39
  Speaker 1: That is the biggest pot kettle anyway. Continue.
• 12:42
  Speaker 5: But it's also I think, like we said, all we
• 12:45
  Speaker 5: really want out of all this is to get the
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: right call, and I think the right outcome has happened.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: That Baligan should not have been suspended. And what you
• 12:54
  Speaker 5: said about v R's use, I totally agree with. I
• 12:58
  Speaker 5: think if they were to call it a red card
• 13:00
  Speaker 5: on the field, or even a yellow card on the field,
• 13:03
  Speaker 5: then the process of elevating it till red card is sound.
• 13:07
  Speaker 5: But because it wasn't even called a foul, var was
• 13:10
  Speaker 5: used incorrectly and that was US Soccer's kind of angle
• 13:14
  Speaker 5: they took uh to try and get this overturned. I
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: was going into everything. I was less worried about Baligan
• 13:21
  Speaker 5: missing this game than a lot of other people were.
• 13:22
  Speaker 5: I really like Ricardo Peppy, so I wasn't. This isn't
• 13:26
  Speaker 5: a huge deal for me there. Chuck mentioned it this morning.
• 13:30
  Speaker 5: There might even be a route that Baligan doesn't even
• 13:32
  Speaker 5: start in this game, because they might have gone through
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: the whole process and they're in their training for this
• 13:37
  Speaker 5: match with Peppy as their striker, and they might think, okay,
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: last second literally just came down yesterday. We're not gonna
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: switch our plans. That would be such a mind blank
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: to Belgium.
• 13:49
  Speaker 1: We can win.
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: And then and then all of a sudden you bring
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: them in like can you imagine I'm listen, I'm tracking
• 13:58
  Speaker 2: with that. I'm I'm all in for that. See I
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: kind of like that.
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: Or you're already up to zero and you're like, eh,
• 14:03
  Speaker 5: we had him back, we don't even need him, we
• 14:05
  Speaker 5: don't even need I.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: Think you play him at some point for this reason.
• 14:08
  Speaker 1: The entire world.
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: You've got other soccer federations besides Belgium that are losing
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: their mind and screaming and yelling and say that they've
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: got it.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: You know they's all Europeans by the way.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, which we'll get to that side of it a second,
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: but you know, everyone's cold. You know, I think you
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: have to play him. I don't know if you have
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: to start him, because I think what you said is
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: a really good point, Like maybe maybe it's not maybe
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: you don't start.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Him, but if.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: He doesn't play, I don't like that optics either, Okay,
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: only from this standpoint.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: I don't want them to feel like they caved.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like the FIFA ruled in favor of you, and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: you're I don't want anybody. I don't want the appearance of, hey,
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: we're worried about that, because now Belgium's come out and
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: they said they'll take any steps necessary. He's on the
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: sheet to play and all this stuff, Well what does
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: that mean? Like, are you just gonna not watch walk
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: on the pitch?
• 14:52
  Speaker 1: You to leave? What are you gonna do? Like?
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Or you're gonna protest afterwards and hope that can you imagine?
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: This is how messed up FIFA is. US wins two
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: to one, right, Balgan gets the game winner, Belgium protests
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: fifial rules or rules in their favor, and US doesn't
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: play the could never happen, would never happen. How did
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: you think that this would be overturned?
• 15:14
  Speaker 1: I think there was a small chance, but there was
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: a possibility.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: Yes, Like one of the reasons is because this again,
• 15:20
  Speaker 5: this is not unpresenting.
• 15:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: So Christiano Ronaldo in the second to last match leading
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: up to the World Cup, in a friendly, different competition,
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: but by rule, cards carry over into the World Cup
• 15:33
  Speaker 5: because it's international play, right, he gets a red card,
• 15:37
  Speaker 5: by a pretty egregious red card, because he elbows someone
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: very hard in a friendly, knowing that if you get
• 15:43
  Speaker 5: a red card you will be suspended for the FIFA
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: World Cup matches. They do the exact same thing that
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: they did to Flora and Balgan's red card. They suspend
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: the suspension for a year just so he can play
• 15:55
  Speaker 5: at this World Cup. So this is not just happening
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: to the US.
• 15:58
  Speaker 1: This wait, wait, is that a European country? Yes, yes,
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: it is, just check it. Yeah, I just wanted to confirm. Yeah,
• 16:05
  Speaker 1: all right.
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: Listen, we'll take a break, we'll come back. Nico Morina
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: was on with Gregor. Great stuff. He brought we He
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: Greg asked him the question. He's kind of the he's
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: the soccer analyst at Fox thirteen. He's been on with
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: Greg a number of times on our station. Does a
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: terrific job sounders at heart right, that's U yeah, among other.
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: Things that he does. We'll hear his answer. We'll continue
• 16:23
  Speaker 1: to talk about it. How much fun is this?
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: It's July. The sixth Manners just went five to one
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: last week. We'll get to them at one o'clock with
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: the molliwat Monday.
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: But this is fun.
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: This, this event deserves all of our attention, with maybe
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: just that one exception with little manrors in between. We'll
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: do that next nine three point three Kterfmly.
• 16:49
  Speaker 1: Very good. I love the back where Jimmy's on first.
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: What it was it four hours and thirty minutes away
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: for four and a half hours away until kickoff. We're
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: four hours away from the pregames, you know, the official
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: pregame show here in nine three point three KFM with
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: Jackson and Anders. They'll bring it to you pre half
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: in post of course, we'll take the feed from the
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: great John Strong on the play by play call tonight
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: as well. Us Belgium right here on your home for
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: the World Cup nine three point three KFM. We're gonna
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: get to Nico Moreno in a second if we Yeah,
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: we'll do it here. We'll get to in a second.
• 17:21
  Speaker 2: We're talking about Baligan. You believe that the right decision
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: in the end was made.
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: Yeah, cause I don't think it was a red card
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: and the fact that the process in getting to the
• 17:33
  Speaker 5: red card originally through var was incorrect.
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: So I think the right outcome is made has been
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: made yet, okay.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: Which sometimes most of us would just say, that's all
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: that matters, right right, the right at I might be
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: there the I'm talking about there.
• 17:47
  Speaker 1: Sorry, people come by, Hey, how are you? It's been
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: a while.
• 17:50
  Speaker 2: So they did a show with Jimmy's No Score by
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: the way Portugal sand there in the thirty first minute,
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: Nico Moreno sounders at hearts Yeah, Fox thirteen soccer analysts.
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: You see him on the TV broadcast with the Aaron
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: and the crew all the time. He was on with
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Greg this Morning's been on with Greg a few times.
• 18:03
  Speaker 2: Is a great job covering the sport. I would think
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: you would agree, correct, you give me yourment, he gives.
• 18:08
  Speaker 1: I give him my endorsement for sure.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: Then that's good enough for me, all right. He was
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: all with Greg early Greg asked him very simple, what
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: about Balligan?
• 18:17
  Speaker 6: So is it extremely complicated? I mean, I myself find
• 18:22
  Speaker 6: a lot of indecision in what I want to think
• 18:25
  Speaker 6: about this, right because I am of two thoughts right
• 18:29
  Speaker 6: on one side, I totally feel like there is some
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: sort of sports justice that will be able to play
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: this game, because I thought that var was used inadequately
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: and not to the regulation by using those still frames
• 18:44
  Speaker 6: to give Ballagun that red card. However, the way that
• 18:49
  Speaker 6: this is kind of coming together reminds me a lot
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: of and your family is going to kind of maybe
• 18:54
  Speaker 6: see what I'm talking about here, because it feels a
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: lot like the tuck rule, where nobody really knew that
• 19:00
  Speaker 6: I was the rule and then all of a sudden
• 19:02
  Speaker 6: it decides a game and now it becomes a thing.
• 19:06
  Speaker 6: This article twenty seven is being in voked to suspend
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: the suspension, to stop the suspension or the disciplinary measure
• 19:15
  Speaker 6: that was given to Boligain is what it has everybody
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: kind of running for the hills that there isn't any
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: clarity from FIFA. There's a lot of individuals, both in
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: the soccer world and in the political spectrum that are
• 19:32
  Speaker 6: trying to take credit for this, or they're saying that
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: they make calls. There's so many layers of this thing
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: that the reality at the end of the day is
• 19:38
  Speaker 6: that the optics are bad because it does feel like
• 19:42
  Speaker 6: the host team is getting some sort of advantage to
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: get a player that she's been suspended in this game. However,
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: I want to clarify this is not the team's fault.
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: Anyone who is implying that Marisso Pochettino should sit Balligan
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: for this game and though is going to be allowed
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: or he's going to be available, it's crazy. I mean, look,
• 20:06
  Speaker 6: the guys are there to win, to do a job,
• 20:09
  Speaker 6: to create an objective and get the final or win
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: a title. And if completely out of their control FIFA
• 20:19
  Speaker 6: has decided that color and Baligan is going to be
• 20:21
  Speaker 6: able to play this game, then you got to play them.
• 20:24
  Speaker 6: You cannot just sit them. So the guys, it's out
• 20:27
  Speaker 6: of their control. All they have to do is go
• 20:30
  Speaker 6: and play this game with whatever tools they have and
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: if that's one of them, then that's it. But unfortunately,
• 20:36
  Speaker 6: the narrative at one point or another, if this USA
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: team wins tonight I think they will, there's gonna be
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: some sort of narrative an asterisk if you will, about
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: the rules being bent for this uster's national team, and
• 20:52
  Speaker 6: I feel like it's unfair to a group that has
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: earned every single match, in every single minute that they've
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: been on tournaments.
• 21:01
  Speaker 7: It's the ultimate that he's playing, however, and it sounds
• 21:05
  Speaker 7: like two wrongs made it right here, that it was
• 21:07
  Speaker 7: wrong that there was a red card to begin with,
• 21:08
  Speaker 7: and that was wrong how the process was to put
• 21:10
  Speaker 7: him back in. But so is that the takeaway the
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: two wrongs made it right and two wrongs shouldn't make
• 21:18
  Speaker 7: it right here, or is the fact in your mind
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: he should have never been red card first, and explain
• 21:22
  Speaker 7: what you mean about var was misapplied here with the
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: stop frame in the slowdown.
• 21:29
  Speaker 6: Yeah, so I stan firmly that Volume should have never
• 21:37
  Speaker 6: been given a red card using the slowdown of Var
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: in the still pictures without the benefit of the context
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: of the play and the leverage of his body and
• 21:51
  Speaker 6: the fact that he was playing space and not the defender.
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: FIFA to their I don't know if credit haves have
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: a very vague with some of the wording, and so
• 22:02
  Speaker 6: intent kind of gets taken out of the situation, which
• 22:06
  Speaker 6: to me is ludicrous because if I'm fighting for space
• 22:09
  Speaker 6: to get the ball and I don't see where your
• 22:12
  Speaker 6: foots at, I should not be penalized for that, and
• 22:15
  Speaker 6: he shouldn't be taken as reckless because if you use
• 22:19
  Speaker 6: a still frame of the impact and the severity of
• 22:25
  Speaker 6: that injury, sure you can make a case, but you
• 22:27
  Speaker 6: have to allow context and the regular speed of that
• 22:31
  Speaker 6: play to determine whether it was malicious or reckless or not.
• 22:37
  Speaker 6: And that's where I feel like it was misinterpret So
• 22:40
  Speaker 6: now do two wrongs make it right?
• 22:43
  Speaker 8: Well?
• 22:43
  Speaker 6: Fortunately, yeah, because of the way FIFA is kind of
• 22:47
  Speaker 6: putting it out, because this article twenty seven does give
• 22:51
  Speaker 6: FIFA or this judicial body the benefit to decide whether
• 22:56
  Speaker 6: or not he should be suspended. And let me clarify,
• 22:59
  Speaker 6: I won't thing. The red card's not being taken away.
• 23:01
  Speaker 6: He's being put into a probational period where he's gonna
• 23:06
  Speaker 6: be able to continue to play, and if he gets
• 23:09
  Speaker 6: another red card, then he would essentially serve both of
• 23:13
  Speaker 6: those red cards or that could be suspended for a
• 23:16
  Speaker 6: longer period of time. So he kind of goes into
• 23:19
  Speaker 6: this provisional period as he plays for the US seventeen.
• 23:23
  Speaker 6: So it's so complicated and complex that it would have
• 23:27
  Speaker 6: been not just nice but almost important for FIFA to
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: come out with the statement of their own But it
• 23:33
  Speaker 6: sounds like we're not going to get it.
• 23:38
  Speaker 5: Thought Sanders just expertly pointed out in all facets by him,
• 23:43
  Speaker 5: he does a fantastic job, and it's worth pointing out that,
• 23:46
  Speaker 5: you know, he would never tell you this, but he's
• 23:49
  Speaker 5: from Colombia.
• 23:50
  Speaker 1: His wife is from Mexico. So if you're like, he
• 23:54
  Speaker 1: told us that, yeah, and.
• 23:56
  Speaker 5: That, that kind of tells you that he's not coming
• 23:58
  Speaker 5: at this from a USA fan perspective. So this is
• 24:01
  Speaker 5: a guy that looks at this from the outside looking
• 24:03
  Speaker 5: in and knows exactly what's going on. And I think
• 24:07
  Speaker 5: Greg was the first one to say two wrongs made
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: it right here, and I think that's kind of the
• 24:12
  Speaker 5: right way to think about this. The only thing that
• 24:14
  Speaker 5: I'm worried about, and we're already seeing the fallout from this.
• 24:19
  Speaker 5: WILL teams, Wow, what a chance for Portugal. Unfortunately Ronaldo
• 24:24
  Speaker 5: just unable to put it over the line. Will teams
• 24:27
  Speaker 5: now start to look for this as a way to
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: kind of rescind a red card, knowing that FIFA can
• 24:32
  Speaker 5: step in whenever they want.
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: But France has already done that.
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: They had a yellow card in their last game versus
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: Paraguay that they're trying to invoke Article twenty seven to
• 24:41
  Speaker 5: get it taken over.
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: Well, let's just go back. So there was a red
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: card last night in England Mexico. There's a red card
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: in that match, and no one disputed the red card.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: Now right, like, not all red cards are created the same.
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: I think it goes back inherently to one thing, like
• 24:55
  Speaker 2: and we joked about it on the air on Thursday
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: when I was doing my show on Thursday, I said, well, well.
• 25:00
  Speaker 1: You know one of the wild things.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: We're watching the match on a cell phone, playing in
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: a golf league on a Wednesday golf league, which we're
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: all like, man, we should just now we'll watch it.
• 25:09
  Speaker 1: That's fine, here we go, So we'll do that.
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: And so we're watching it on the phone when that happened,
• 25:17
  Speaker 2: I literally and there's no word of I'm like, there's
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: no way that's a red card. Why are we looking
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: at this? And I think I talked to my buddy
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: Steve Shrek was playing with us, who is bas a
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: soccer guy and plays a time like he's like what
• 25:28
  Speaker 2: the I go Yeah, because when you watch it in
• 25:30
  Speaker 2: real time, like no, and then you watch the freeze
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: frame and you're like, okay, there's that. Yeah, there's no intent.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: So let's just say for argument's sake, maybe it's fifty
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: to fifty.
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: Sure, but it's not even but for this and the only.
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: Reason the fifty that it is is because you freeze frame, right,
• 25:45
  Speaker 2: and that visual is kind of but if you actually
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: go full speed where the play begin, Yes, balligin in
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: front of the player, right, yep, who initiated the fact that.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: Is not looking at the player, he's looking at the ball.
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: And the challenge got initiated by the opposition from behind
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: ball again until he moved forward. All those things come
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: into play. So in the end, the fact that it
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: was a red card, I'm I was sitting there for
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: three holes last half.
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: Like how yes, exactly. And one more thing.
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah, there was no appeal whatsoever from Bosnia when it happened.
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: They just were worried about the guy on the ground.
• 26:20
  Speaker 5: They were going up to the referee asking for a
• 26:22
  Speaker 5: red card or anything like that, because they saw it
• 26:25
  Speaker 5: the same way that we all have seen it.
• 26:26
  Speaker 1: It's fifty to fifty challenge.
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: It's one of the things with soccer that I think
• 26:30
  Speaker 2: people in our country that are just watching it for
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: the first time, are casual fans or what have you.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: It incredibly subjective. They have a hard time with that.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: It is the most subjective sport in so many ways.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: It's not like the NFL, where there's a written rule
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: for every single flag that they can throw. It's like
• 26:44
  Speaker 5: it's kind of up to the referee discretion a lot.
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: Of these times.
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: And I've said it before, I don't know, I like,
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: we want to be letter of the law, like last
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: night the PK on Harry Kane, yep, like letter of
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: the lot. Sure, I guess yeah, I mean, but you
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: have to again, even for that, you gotta slow it,
• 27:01
  Speaker 2: like if you watch a real time and go both
• 27:03
  Speaker 2: challenging the ball exactly no penalty.
• 27:05
  Speaker 1: So then that gives the appearance of.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: A softness, like really soft, be very subjective, which goes
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: back to and someday maybe you can get the timing
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: is just ridiculous, Like there's no sport in the world.
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: There's nothing in this on this planet including soccer played
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: you played D one level. What do they do if
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: there's a stoppage, referee crosses his hands, the clock stops.
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: Everyone knows. My wife's like, how do we know how
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: much times left to go? Only one person does, And
• 27:38
  Speaker 2: it's very subjective. They're gonna wait till they lose possession

  Speaker 2: And so then you're gonna tell me, we're gonna go

• 27:47
  Speaker 2: late and stoppage time past the time that they allowed. Yeah,
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: but I know the rest of the world's okay with it.
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: Some of us aren't. But you know what, the rest
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: of the world is okay with bal again, and we are.

  Speaker 2: I am, Mass Transit's a big way of life for you.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Uh no, So I like this is great. Hey, you
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: gotta do show Jimmy's cool. How are getting there? How
• 31:07
  Speaker 2: we getting home? I don't know find out. I think
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: the spoiled working for TV stations in me just having
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: media passes and like, we'll just shuttle people down there.
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: I'm like, okay, we're on our own, So what do
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: we do now? I joke about this all four first
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: couple of years of oday. Took a bus every day
• 31:24
  Speaker 2: from Magnolia up to First Hill. Took a bus. When
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: I worked downtown at KBI for years, I took a bus.
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: I was a big bus guy. But this whole light
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: rail thing, this is different now. I figured it out
• 31:34
  Speaker 2: in New York when we went cover to the Super Bowl.
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: Took about a day to get to the path slashed
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: something that was harder, just a path and the subway.
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: I had to switch up. But I was a little
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: nervous today coming down. Talk to my daughter. She's like, yeah,
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: they live in a Saqua. She goes, yeah, we just
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: drive to the Bellevue South station, south Bellvue station, jump.
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: On the light rail, go to a Merita games. I'm like, okay,
• 31:52
  Speaker 1: something like are we sure, yeah, we can, we can
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: do that. So I did.
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: Now here's my in all seriousness, here's the thing. Because
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: Jackson came up from Federal Way and the parking lot
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: in Federal Way was almost fully says and that was
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: like an hour ago, an hour and a half ago,
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: an hour and a half ago, Jackson, Yeah, but an
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: hour and half to go. Now, if you think you're
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: gonna park it Angle Lake or the tuck Willa station,
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: you're sadly mistaken. There's no chance if Federal Way's almost
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: full those two. Because I've gone to tuck Willa before.
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: Last time I took it was full. Goes up quick,
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: you're done. Bellevue, FYI I got there at nine fifty,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: like our am station in the morning. They had some
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: parking lot of tenants there Hey, do you have to
• 32:34
  Speaker 2: put No, you have to pay for parking. I go,
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: is there a spot left somewhere? He goes, maybe on
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: the roof, and he was right on the roof. It
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: was damn. It was probably level there's five I think
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: because on fifth level. Wow, and it was almost full.
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: Now people actually have jobs and they're going to work
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: today and they use that to park and go into
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: you know, it jumps over. But I would just say
• 32:55
  Speaker 2: be wary if you're planning on doing that, be wary
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: because you may find it challenging to find a place
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: to park at those mass transit train stations that are
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: like like a main one like Federal Way Bellevue.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Maybe you can go to Redmon and just do the
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: long trip what have you.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: But yeah, our our parking lot in Bellvy was almost
• 33:12
  Speaker 2: full at nine to fifty this morning. It's crazy, Yeah,
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: but it was very easy, you know, kind of cool
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: drive you fly across it. Unlike going down MLK Away
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: and the other one coming north to south, there's no
• 33:22
  Speaker 2: which is you have to stop and stop light and stuff.
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: It takes an hour.
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: It takes an hour from tuck Willa. Yeah, I could
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: walk here faster, and I got our threat to on
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: my knees. Bellevue is massively easy. I mean I might
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: think about doing that for a Mariner game and those
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: riding the water. Yeah, just be beautiful out gorgeous too,
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: gorgeous right now? So so, yeah, so we got a
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: lot going on here. Jimmy's on first. Yeah, sharing got
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: people walking in with flags draped around him.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: Right now. I want to ask that one of the
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Ka Chuck brothers. I can't tell. I want to ask
• 33:49
  Speaker 1: you something.
• 33:50
  Speaker 5: Yes, is there any event in the world that brings
• 33:52
  Speaker 5: the world together more than the World Cup? Because I
• 33:54
  Speaker 5: feel like I've seen nothing but positive interactions between rival fans.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think it's very Olympics, Like, Yeah, I think
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: the Olympics does that too. I think the Olympics does
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: a feel good to it because I'm biased. I love soccer.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: I see this stuff all the time. Oh and I think,
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: you know, and there's a good point because I think
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: with this we that was very much the case.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: Now with the Baliga.
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: And stuff, there's gonna be a little more animosity and
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: there's gonna be a little more anti us sentiment out
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: there because so far, I don't think we've seen a
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: lot of that.
• 34:24
  Speaker 1: Yep.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: You know, a country that a lot of people don't like,
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: if we're being honest, and the president that most of
• 34:29
  Speaker 2: the world hates. Like I think we're easy to kind
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: of take shots at. But then, like you said, the
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: first few couple of three weeks of this thing have
• 34:35
  Speaker 2: been great. Now with the Baaligan deal and everyone is
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: it everyone or just the European nations against us?
• 34:41
  Speaker 1: It's almost exclusively European nations. Why is that? Why is
• 34:45
  Speaker 1: that they're soft? Okay, you said it, not me? You
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: said it not me? Is it not the same in hockey?
• 34:55
  Speaker 10: Oh?
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Gotcha? So soft Euros and French You don't see this crab.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: You don't see this crap from the South American teams.
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: That's what I thought. That's what's looking like.
• 35:09
  Speaker 2: You got other teams like chirping right now, and it's
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: like we're gonna all, you know, stand up to Belgium.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: I do notice this.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: Portugal, Portugal was close right, yeah, Like they haven't say anything.
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: No, they haven't because they know they understand the hypocrisy. Okay,
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: is basically Portugal is like, we're gonna sit this one out.
• 35:30
  Speaker 2: It's best if we sit this one out of for
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Portugal right now, then nothing good is gonna come out
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: of that. If we're Portugal and saying, hey, we're gonna
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: pot you know what they should do. They should say
• 35:38
  Speaker 2: we applaud fiefus decision. If you're Portugal, you say we
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: applaud fiefis decision was the right decision.
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: The right decision was made.
• 35:45
  Speaker 2: And you know we stand by the United States of America.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: God bless America USA. Quite a statement for them to say,
• 35:54
  Speaker 2: I think they should, they should. I think they should,
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: you know what? And then if we get knocked out,
• 35:59
  Speaker 2: we're team ports go all the way.
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: No, I do know about that one. I don't know

  Speaker 2: clappers here? Dyke by the way, jes don't freak out,
• 39:02
  Speaker 2: and Nathan Bishop as well. Jimmy's on first is the location.
• 39:05
  Speaker 2: In true transparency, however, I am taping this in Issaquah
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: at my daughter's house on the way to my mass
• 39:16
  Speaker 2: transit Virgin voyage here in a few minutes. So because
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: of the fact that we have to be at Jimmy's
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: today and we can't get to Jimmy's unless you go
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: to the International District and walk three miles. We're doing
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: this early in the morning, so if something catastrophic happens,
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: I would just say, hey, that's our apologies to you.
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: If Baligan doesn't play, then that's what happens. Because we're
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: gonna start before we get to the mirrors, opening thoughts
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: on the corruption of FIFA and how it's benefited the US.
• 39:46
  Speaker 11: Nathan Bishop, one of the things that I've really been enjoying.
• 39:51
  Speaker 11: I'm a soccer casual, but I know enough to get
• 39:53
  Speaker 11: FIFA's whole deal, which is that they make the IOC
• 39:56
  Speaker 11: look like a very tied up and proper administration and
• 39:58
  Speaker 11: organization as far as Eruption is concerned. So it's been
• 40:01
  Speaker 11: very what's the scene from Casablanca where he says, I'm shocked,
• 40:05
  Speaker 11: shocked to find gambling here in this establishment. That's been
• 40:08
  Speaker 11: very much like what I've seen the American soccer fan
• 40:10
  Speaker 11: experience in the past twenty four hours, because it's like, oh, wait,
• 40:13
  Speaker 11: are you telling me this isn't potentially on the up
• 40:16
  Speaker 11: and up? Oh my gosh. And is it possible that
• 40:17
  Speaker 11: the person currently in charge of our country is perfectly
• 40:21
  Speaker 11: suited to communicate with the people that run FIFA for
• 40:23
  Speaker 11: better and for worse. Yes, I think that's the case.
• 40:26
  Speaker 11: Do I think that America will win today two to one? Yes?
• 40:29
  Speaker 11: I do do. I think it's going to be an
• 40:31
  Speaker 11: experience that people in this city are going to remember
• 40:33
  Speaker 11: for the rest of their lives. I also think that
• 40:35
  Speaker 11: I believe that we will win.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: I love all that, Chris, you're a resident soccer expert, Ditch,
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: I'll go ahead.
• 40:44
  Speaker 12: You know, it's very funny that people are acting like
• 40:47
  Speaker 12: I don't know if you guys have seen the meme
• 40:49
  Speaker 12: of the first time about the guy who's about to
• 40:51
  Speaker 12: be hung, Like, is this your first time corruption? Because
• 40:56
  Speaker 12: four years ago people died because of FIFA. Let's not
• 41:00
  Speaker 12: like this is like the worst thing that's ever happened.
• 41:03
  Speaker 12: But I'm actually glad you brought it up because I
• 41:05
  Speaker 12: was gonna mention in my opening statement. I've seen a
• 41:07
  Speaker 12: bunch of people talk about how there's gonna be an
• 41:11
  Speaker 12: asterisk if US wins, especially, and stuff like that. Number one, No,
• 41:16
  Speaker 12: there's not. That's not how asterix works. Number two. It
• 41:20
  Speaker 12: does kind of remind me of this has been brought
• 41:23
  Speaker 12: up to me before that sometimes the Seattle sports fan
• 41:27
  Speaker 12: has a negative feedback because we care a little bit
• 41:33
  Speaker 12: too much about what other people think about us. Like
• 41:36
  Speaker 12: we do the we don't get the respect that other
• 41:40
  Speaker 12: teams get. Don't let it bug you. I hate to
• 41:43
  Speaker 12: tell people how to fan. Don't let this bug you.
• 41:46
  Speaker 12: If you're rooting for Team USA tonight, despite the problems
• 41:49
  Speaker 12: with the country and despite the issues with the potential
• 41:53
  Speaker 12: of a guy putting his nose where it shouldn't be,
• 41:56
  Speaker 12: don't let it bug you. Do not conflate nationalism with
• 41:59
  Speaker 12: paid triotism. Do not conflate liking something with supporting something else,
• 42:05
  Speaker 12: and that's the same thing for the Mariners. Don't give
• 42:08
  Speaker 12: a crap what Mad Dog Radio is telling you. Don't
• 42:10
  Speaker 12: give a crap what some guy on Instagram has to
• 42:14
  Speaker 12: say about the farm system. Like what you want to like,
• 42:17
  Speaker 12: and don't let other people make you feel bad for
• 42:19
  Speaker 12: liking it.
• 42:20
  Speaker 2: I'm with you, buddy, I'm a thousand percent it is.
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: You know the funny thing. I kept thinking, and we'll
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: get to baseball, but I mean, this is the topic
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: of the day. Everyone's going nice. My favorite thing with
• 42:31
  Speaker 2: this whole deal is what you just said, Chris, Like,
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: first of all, why do we care what anybody in
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Europe thinks, or Africa or any other name. Why do
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: we care? First of all, it was the wrong call,
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: but more importantly, what results, what the suspension resulted from,
• 42:51
  Speaker 2: was a var that was not done properly and didn't
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: fall protocol. There's no other sport that would allow that
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: to go through like that right where it's like, well,
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: you know, it's like an NFL referee going well, I
• 43:04
  Speaker 2: didn't see it on the replay, I but I looked
• 43:06
  Speaker 2: up on the big screen. You're not allowed to do
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: that you can't do that, that's not part of it.
• 43:11
  Speaker 2: So and I'm with you who cares? I mean, I
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: two middle fingers for the rest of the world right now.
• 43:17
  Speaker 2: And you know, I find it rich myself. And Andrews
• 43:21
  Speaker 2: and I talked about this in the first hour of
• 43:23
  Speaker 2: the show that that all of a sudden, the most
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: corrupt individual in the history of sports, including the IOC,
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: former FIFA president, Set Bladder.
• 43:31
  Speaker 1: Is what is now?
• 43:35
  Speaker 12: All right?
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: Really yeah, that's the that's the beacon of ethics and
• 43:41
  Speaker 2: morality and sports is step Bladder.
• 43:44
  Speaker 12: You know what's funny is today I mentioned today on
• 43:47
  Speaker 12: Blue Sky that like that's the ultimate Tim Robinson. We're
• 43:50
  Speaker 12: all trying to find the guy who's doing this having
• 43:53
  Speaker 12: set Bladder in the hot dog costume. Try tell anybody
• 43:56
  Speaker 12: about corruption, Like, give me a break, dude, go ahead, Nathan.
• 44:01
  Speaker 11: Oh, I was just gonna say, I mean, I think
• 44:03
  Speaker 11: if we're going to try to grock this for the
• 44:06
  Speaker 11: non soccer American fan getting into it, just imagine if
• 44:10
  Speaker 11: you were, like say a Washington State Cougar football fan,
• 44:12
  Speaker 11: and you were kicking USC's athen to call the seam
• 44:14
  Speaker 11: and you made a great play and like there was
• 44:16
  Speaker 11: a call made to the booth during the game by
• 44:20
  Speaker 11: Pack twelve officials in order to get the call overturned. Hypothetically,
• 44:24
  Speaker 11: where that to occur, it would be kind of in
• 44:26
  Speaker 11: line with what's going on with the USA.
• 44:27
  Speaker 2: Wait a second. First of all, it's been like ten years.
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: It's still too soon for that.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: I is.
• 44:33
  Speaker 11: I am team Coogan on that one. That was an
• 44:35
  Speaker 11: outrageous screw usc forever. I hate them so much.
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: They can just oh God, yeah, listen, stuff happens all
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: the time, end of the day. It was wrong, We
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: got righted and as we speak right now we think
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: he's still playing, but God knows what will happen in between.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: All right, let's get to baseball. Small wat Day brought
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: to my Simply Sales, Simply Sail dot Com. Simply Sale
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: is just crushing right now. World Cup Gear, by the way,
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: go check their stuff out Simply Seattle, simply dot com.
• 45:02
  Speaker 2: And yes, Jess waighs in on the text line or
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: blank and Gustin, Yes, we are all. Yes, we do
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: remember him. Thank you?
• 45:09
  Speaker 13: All right?
• 45:10
  Speaker 1: What a week?
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: I mean, what a difference a week makes, at least
• 45:13
  Speaker 2: in terms of the record. There was some interesting moments
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: along the way, but it's a results based business. Boys
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: five and one week Nathan fire Away.
• 45:21
  Speaker 11: I loved it because it's proof of concept of what
• 45:24
  Speaker 11: we think that this team can be in its current form.
• 45:26
  Speaker 11: I think, especially with Julia Rodriguez unfortunately out on the
• 45:30
  Speaker 11: IL till potentially after the All Star break. You don't know,
• 45:32
  Speaker 11: concussions are really weird things. This team is going to
• 45:35
  Speaker 11: struggle to score runs more often than not. As great
• 45:38
  Speaker 11: as Saturday was, and it was really really refreshing to
• 45:41
  Speaker 11: see this team actually come out, put together an offensive
• 45:44
  Speaker 11: performance and beat the crap out of somebody for a change. Overall,
• 45:48
  Speaker 11: what this week reminded me of is that for all
• 45:51
  Speaker 11: of their flaws, when this team is great and when
• 45:55
  Speaker 11: they are awesome as much fun as last year was,
• 45:58
  Speaker 11: for most of this decade, what has driven the success
• 46:01
  Speaker 11: of this franchise has been the starting pitching, and the
• 46:03
  Speaker 11: starting pitching showed the hell out this week. They gave
• 46:07
  Speaker 11: up seven runs in six games they had every single
• 46:11
  Speaker 11: starter went at least six innings. Two went into the
• 46:14
  Speaker 11: eighth inning, the other two went into the seventh. I think,
• 46:17
  Speaker 11: just a phenomenal, dominating performance that overcomes so many other
• 46:22
  Speaker 11: roster inadequacies that we're seeing. They still, Saturday Aside, are
• 46:26
  Speaker 11: really struggling to score in a way that feels consistent
• 46:29
  Speaker 11: and repeatable. They still can't play defense to save their life.
• 46:33
  Speaker 11: JP Crawford made another one of the very worst throws
• 46:35
  Speaker 11: that I've ever seen in my life this week from
• 46:38
  Speaker 11: third base. So there are still problems. But when you
• 46:41
  Speaker 11: run out a rotation like this that is capable of
• 46:44
  Speaker 11: just completely it, they just wash over everything else because
• 46:48
  Speaker 11: they're so dominant and so good, and it was so
• 46:50
  Speaker 11: great with an injured bullpen. I already mentioned it, but
• 46:53
  Speaker 11: just to see take that bullpen leverage stuff out of it.
• 46:56
  Speaker 11: You don't have to worry about it. Don't make Dan
• 46:58
  Speaker 11: Wilson have to rem remember how to stack together three
• 47:01
  Speaker 11: or four relievers at a time. Just go into the
• 47:03
  Speaker 11: seventh and the eighth. Let them run, don't worry about piggyback,
• 47:06
  Speaker 11: don't overthink it. You have the best and deepest rotation
• 47:09
  Speaker 11: into the American League. Let it eat because that is
• 47:12
  Speaker 11: what's going to carry this team for the foreseeable future.
• 47:17
  Speaker 12: Chris Yeah, So the sweep for the Angels, I'm just
• 47:23
  Speaker 12: gonna be I'm gonna keep it one hundred with you,
• 47:25
  Speaker 12: as the kids like to say, Yeah, honey, did nothing
• 47:31
  Speaker 12: for me because the angel stink and you know they're
• 47:34
  Speaker 12: They're just such a bad baseball team. And honestly, that
• 47:37
  Speaker 12: one nothing victory was more frustrating than enjoyable, Like the
• 47:41
  Speaker 12: offense was just so wretched in that game, I couldn't
• 47:44
  Speaker 12: enjoy it. Then Friday wasn't a hell of a lot
• 47:46
  Speaker 12: of fun either, But Saturday and Sunday was as much
• 47:50
  Speaker 12: fun as I've had watching the Seattle Mariners this year,
• 47:52
  Speaker 12: in part because you beat your most hated rival. And
• 47:56
  Speaker 12: I'm sorry, if you're a Houston Astro fan listening to
• 47:58
  Speaker 12: this right now, you have been, you surped. You are
• 48:02
  Speaker 12: no longer the Seattle Mariners' biggest rival. The Toronto Blue
• 48:05
  Speaker 12: Jays are the Seattle Mariners' biggest rival, and it's been
• 48:09
  Speaker 12: created not just because of the Alcs, but because of
• 48:13
  Speaker 12: their well, for lack of a better term, invasion of Seattle.
• 48:16
  Speaker 12: And I know this has been happening for a while now,
• 48:19
  Speaker 12: but this is now a bigger deal because of that
• 48:23
  Speaker 12: postseason series, because these are both two teams that are
• 48:27
  Speaker 12: on similar paths, not exactly. The Blue Jays have been
• 48:31
  Speaker 12: kind of a disaster this year. I looked at that
• 48:33
  Speaker 12: lineup today and I was like, oh my gosh, there
• 48:36
  Speaker 12: are a lot more Mariners I'd rather have than Toronto
• 48:39
  Speaker 12: Blue Jays in a lineup. That's a weird thing to stay.
• 48:42
  Speaker 12: But winning those games against your you know what, not
• 48:46
  Speaker 12: just rival, your hated rival, is a lot of fun.
• 48:50
  Speaker 12: And Nathan hit the nail on the head with proof
• 48:53
  Speaker 12: of concept. I've said it a couple of times and
• 48:55
  Speaker 12: he stole it from me, and that's fine.
• 48:56
  Speaker 11: But I'm just so ready to see this on a
• 49:02
  Speaker 11: more consistent basis.
• 49:04
  Speaker 12: The other big thing was following up Saturday, the Americers
• 49:07
  Speaker 12: have played some really good games this year and looked like, Okay,
• 49:10
  Speaker 12: is this the turning point and then put on an
• 49:12
  Speaker 12: absolute s show the next game. To play two straight
• 49:16
  Speaker 12: quality games like that really warmed the cockles in my
• 49:19
  Speaker 12: heart as well.
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: First series win for Seattle over Toronto at T Mobiles
• 49:24
  Speaker 2: since in three years basically so they've been I mean,
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: so that's a that's kind of a nice little thing
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: along the way. And obviously the pitching was the pitching
• 49:31
  Speaker 2: was a star Blue Jays shut out in the last
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: two games three hits or less in consecutive games, only
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: the third time that's happened in the Blue Jays franchise history.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: So let's let's get into pitching a little bit. Chris
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: piggyback no more just a six man rotation. I kind
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: of always wonder like, well, what could have been how
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: many games? I mean, I think the piggyback record was
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: what three and two? Is that?
• 49:54
  Speaker 14: Right?
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: Or two and one means? I mean, so they only
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: lost one or two games in there, But you just
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: don't know how it also affects the next game or
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: the game after, right, So like there's there is like
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: a little bit, but are we done messing around?
• 50:07
  Speaker 12: I don't know, and I don't think the Seattle Mariners know,
• 50:10
  Speaker 12: because the lack of communication here has just been kind
• 50:14
  Speaker 12: of embarrassing to be honest with you, Like to come
• 50:17
  Speaker 12: out with that statement about how it was unanimous, we
• 50:20
  Speaker 12: unanimously agreed to this, and then to be like, uh,
• 50:23
  Speaker 12: never mind, and then never mind again, it tells you
• 50:27
  Speaker 12: that they really are kind of playing this by ear
• 50:29
  Speaker 12: or the piggyback was just nonsense, and it was the
• 50:32
  Speaker 12: thing that they were doing because they didn't trust Luis
• 50:34
  Speaker 12: Castillo well with how good Luis Castillo has pitched and
• 50:38
  Speaker 12: with how well like especially Bryce Miller has pitched like
• 50:41
  Speaker 12: he might be the ace of the staff right now,
• 50:43
  Speaker 12: the piggyback should be gone, and honestly, what should be
• 50:47
  Speaker 12: happening is figuring out a way to make a move
• 50:50
  Speaker 12: for one of these starters to go get a bat
• 50:52
  Speaker 12: to help you get to the World Series. And you
• 50:54
  Speaker 12: know the reason you can do that is because you
• 50:56
  Speaker 12: have some pitching depth in the minors. You have a
• 50:58
  Speaker 12: guy like Kate Anderson who could come up and help you.
• 51:01
  Speaker 12: You have a guy like Ryan Sloan who theoretically could
• 51:04
  Speaker 12: come up and help you, and you have the prospects
• 51:06
  Speaker 12: too if something bad were to happen, make a trade
• 51:08
  Speaker 12: for a back end starter here. But I think the
• 51:11
  Speaker 12: piggyback should go away. It was way more of a
• 51:15
  Speaker 12: like you mentioned last week, and its escapegoat for what
• 51:18
  Speaker 12: was going on with everything. But it just makes more
• 51:23
  Speaker 12: sense to have these five guys and while they're here,
• 51:25
  Speaker 12: you might as well go with six.
• 51:28
  Speaker 11: Nathan, Yeah, I don't think I had. I think I
• 51:32
  Speaker 11: was pretty clear intellectually as a concept. I was totally
• 51:35
  Speaker 11: fine with the six man with the piggyback rotation, but
• 51:39
  Speaker 11: to Chris's point, the communication and the implementation of it
• 51:42
  Speaker 11: has just been so classic Mariners. They just cannot figure
• 51:46
  Speaker 11: out or commit to an idea or get off of
• 51:49
  Speaker 11: their get out of their own way with it. And
• 51:52
  Speaker 11: it's clear, as much as they wanted to say, I
• 51:54
  Speaker 11: laughed out loud the first time that they, you know,
• 51:57
  Speaker 11: there were very obvious about it being unanimou Yeah, that's
• 52:00
  Speaker 11: something that a unanimous vote getter would say, is that
• 52:03
  Speaker 11: it's unanimous. That's what they always say so loudly about that.
• 52:06
  Speaker 11: It was very funny when they projected that and then
• 52:08
  Speaker 11: immediately started to waffle. I think it was last Saturday
• 52:11
  Speaker 11: where Logan Gilbert was supposed to be the piggyback starter
• 52:14
  Speaker 11: and they woke up in the morning and told everybody, Nope,
• 52:16
  Speaker 11: never mind, we slept on it and it's not gonna work.
• 52:19
  Speaker 11: So you just can't keep on doing that. And I
• 52:21
  Speaker 11: don't know, like what gets said to us publicly, I'm
• 52:24
  Speaker 11: sure is not exactly the same one to one that's
• 52:26
  Speaker 11: getting said behind closed doors. But it's clear that the
• 52:29
  Speaker 11: communication was not great. It's clear that not everybody was
• 52:33
  Speaker 11: on board with this. And if that's the case, like
• 52:35
  Speaker 11: I said at the open man. This is the heartbeat
• 52:38
  Speaker 11: of your organization. Take care of these guys like whatever
• 52:41
  Speaker 11: they need to feel comfortable and in their best position
• 52:44
  Speaker 11: to thrive, let them do it. And lastly, just circling
• 52:47
  Speaker 11: back a little bit, I'm gonna fred Astare on the
• 52:49
  Speaker 11: FCC here a little bit and just say how happy
• 52:51
  Speaker 11: I am that Dick Clapper's cockles are doing good.
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: Nat the Bishop. Chris Crawford's a Want Monday brought to
• 52:58

• 53:12
  Speaker 2: at checkout. When we're all sitting downe let's just let's
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: do a little update on the on the dumper if
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: we can. Chris cal Rawley hits him back to back games. So,
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: I mean, we've been wondering and worrying. We saw the
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: towering home run the other day. Is he maybe turning
• 53:32
  Speaker 2: a corner? Do you think I heard the clump yesterday
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: from Goldie and or Hyphen on the Peacock Slash NBC
• 53:40
  Speaker 2: Sports broadcast that everyone's really happy about across the country
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: that oh, he's starting to figure it out. Do you
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: see anything? Is he figuring it out?
• 53:48
  Speaker 12: I think he looked really good over those last two games,
• 53:51
  Speaker 12: and you know, the approach has been great, like he's
• 53:54
  Speaker 12: drawn walks. It's just the timing has not been there whatsoever.
• 53:58
  Speaker 12: But it wasn't just know that that absolute moonshot home
• 54:03
  Speaker 12: run that he hit on Saturday. I love the line
• 54:06
  Speaker 12: drive that he hit for the sacrifice fly, and then
• 54:09
  Speaker 12: the line drive as well that he hits for the
• 54:10
  Speaker 12: base hit, and you know he he I don't think
• 54:14
  Speaker 12: he's pressing. I don't think he's trying to do too much.
• 54:16
  Speaker 12: I just feel like the results haven't been there. And
• 54:19
  Speaker 12: maybe this is just baseball God saying you hit sixty
• 54:22
  Speaker 12: home runs. Dude, you're gonna go through some stuff in
• 54:26
  Speaker 12: the Year of Our Lord twenty twenty six. Man, Like
• 54:28
  Speaker 12: there's gonna be some regression. Now, the regression has been
• 54:33
  Speaker 12: so much further than anyone could have imagined, on top
• 54:35
  Speaker 12: of the fact that he has clearly not been healthy.
• 54:38
  Speaker 12: And I still don't think he's anywhere close to one
• 54:40
  Speaker 12: hundred percent. I mean, he just can't be. You cannot
• 54:44
  Speaker 12: be to have those type of results be this much worse,
• 54:47
  Speaker 12: like not just this much worse, worse than twenty twenty four,
• 54:50
  Speaker 12: worse than twenty twenty three, worse than twenty twenty two,
• 54:53
  Speaker 12: considerably worse than those years. But I do feel like
• 54:56
  Speaker 12: he's starting to He's definitely picking up the baseball FI.
• 55:00
  Speaker 12: I love that he hasn't been swinging out of his
• 55:03
  Speaker 12: you know what, It's just the timing hasn't been quite there.
• 55:06
  Speaker 12: I saw really good timing over the last two days.
• 55:09
  Speaker 11: Can I add on to that too, just anecdotically, I haven't. Yeah,
• 55:13
  Speaker 11: I haven't done any I haven't done any analysis on this.
• 55:15
  Speaker 11: So this is great radio for me to be doing.
• 55:17
  Speaker 11: But anecdotally watching Cal, especially from the left side, to
• 55:20
  Speaker 11: Chris's point on timing, he does such a great job
• 55:23
  Speaker 11: when he's going right of I think of the first
• 55:27
  Speaker 11: home run that Edgar Martinez hit in nineteen ninety five
• 55:29
  Speaker 11: in that game the series against the Yankees, where he
• 55:32
  Speaker 11: got his hands inside the ball and still kept it
• 55:34
  Speaker 11: fair on an inside fastball. And what I've seen from
• 55:36
  Speaker 11: Cal a lot from the left side is that the
• 55:39
  Speaker 11: hands and the head of the bat are coming through
• 55:41
  Speaker 11: just just a tiny bit too fast on that inside pitch,
• 55:45
  Speaker 11: and the ones that he's squaring, he's pulling foul. That's
• 55:48
  Speaker 11: to Chris's point on the timing. He's hit three, four,
• 55:50
  Speaker 11: maybe more balls that would be home runs if he
• 55:53
  Speaker 11: kept them fair down that right field line. That's the
• 55:55
  Speaker 11: timing thing, and that's the encouraging thing about that bomb.
• 55:57
  Speaker 11: On Saturday. They again went into his kit in there
• 56:00
  Speaker 11: and he kept it fair off the walls of the
• 56:03
  Speaker 11: hit it here cafe. So if he starts doing that,
• 56:05
  Speaker 11: if he can just get that timing on that inside pitch,
• 56:08
  Speaker 11: I think that's what makes it work. From the left
• 56:10
  Speaker 11: side at least. The right handed thing is a whole
• 56:12
  Speaker 11: other ball of wax, and I think it's a completely
• 56:14
  Speaker 11: different swing. But timing wise, look for him just making
• 56:18
  Speaker 11: that great contact, that lift contact. This is what he
• 56:20
  Speaker 11: has such a nice loop and natural loop in that
• 56:23
  Speaker 11: left handed swing on inside pitches. He just needs to
• 56:26
  Speaker 11: keep the hands back just to hair more to keep
• 56:28
  Speaker 11: that ball fair. And if he's doing that, he'll be
• 56:30
  Speaker 11: right back to where he was.
• 56:32
  Speaker 2: You know, if they would have just put him on
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: the injury list, sooner. I blame the training stage. I'm sorry,
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: I'm joking. Sorry, sorry, sorry, I come on with me
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: next week.
• 56:42
  Speaker 12: Man, let's be careful.
• 56:43
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna just say it's okay. We like you justin
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: We're just joking. And you know it wasn't kJ R
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: that said that. It was another station that may even
• 56:53
  Speaker 2: be your flagship, doesn't US. I've heard there is. Yeah, yeah,
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: it's just simple. You can't hear it. They don't have
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: a good app like we do. iHeartRadio app. Go check
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: it out. It's free. All right, we'll take a break,
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: we'll come back. All Star teams were announced. Such a
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: weird deal. I'm always like anti All Star guy all
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: the way through and then every year when stuff comes
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: out and it's like, here are the All Star teams,
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: and I'm pissed off, Like it's just it's inevitable. It's
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: inevitable that happens every single year. So we'll talk about that.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: Mollywap Monday brought to you I Simply Seattle, simply sall
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: dot com Molliwap fifteen and check out for all of
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: your gear, especially for that little tournament going on right now.
• 57:33
  Speaker 2: As Seattle shows itself off where Jimmy's on first nine
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: three point three KM. All right, welcome back in Simply
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: Seattle brings you bulliwak Monday, molliwap Mondayttle dot Com molliwa.
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: Check out Jimmy's on first getting ready for a little
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: soccer match later on tonight. Nathan's already made the call.
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: Would you say two to one for three two to one,
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: we're gonna win?
• 58:01
  Speaker 12: Okay, Chris, you agree, I'm gonna say three to one.
• 58:05
  Speaker 12: They're gonna get a late.
• 58:07
  Speaker 2: God, the rest of the world win. And if a
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: certain guy scores like one or two of those goals, oh,
• 58:13
  Speaker 2: it'll just be glorious. The rest of the world just
• 58:15
  Speaker 2: when you just when you wonder if the world can
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: hate us more.
• 58:19
  Speaker 12: Then this happens. I'm a belligan.
• 58:21
  Speaker 2: How about he throws a lat trick up on the
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: board or something. God starts chasing, starts chasing the Golden boot.
• 58:29
  Speaker 2: He's a long ways away from that, but away we go.
• 58:30
  Speaker 2: All right, Listen, man, I I rarely I'm the biggest
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: hypocrit in the world. I don't care. I don't care
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: about all Star games. I don't care about Itel's wards
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: And then you're like, well, wait a second, Randy's the
• 58:41
  Speaker 2: only All Star, And then I started thinking, maybe he's
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: the only guy that deserves it all though weird with
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: this great pitching staff, but maybe when you jack him
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: around and piggyback and everything like that, it takes it away.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know, you guys, tell me what are your
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: thoughts on NAT. I'll start with you all Star Mariners
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: snubs or do they get it right?
• 58:58
  Speaker 11: I mean, I let's be clear. I first of all,
• 59:01
  Speaker 11: I'm with you, Ian. I don't particularly get too wound
• 59:04
  Speaker 11: up about All Stars, although sometimes it's fun to get
• 59:06
  Speaker 11: upset about snubs. But I absolutely expect at least one
• 59:10
  Speaker 11: or two more of the arms to get added between
• 59:12
  Speaker 11: now and the game. That's just the way this stuff works,
• 59:14
  Speaker 11: the way the rotations are gonna line up. Like, honestly,
• 59:17
  Speaker 11: they end up dropping guys because the way the rotation turns.
• 59:20
  Speaker 11: And if another team has to do that, take your
• 59:22
  Speaker 11: friggin pick of which Mariners starter you want to have
• 59:24
  Speaker 11: him sub in. Whoever's off the rotation could conceivably do it.
• 59:27
  Speaker 11: I'm really rooting for Emerson Hancock to get the nod
• 59:30
  Speaker 11: here before the All Star Game because I think that'd
• 59:32
  Speaker 11: just be such a cool story for that guy, and
• 59:34
  Speaker 11: he's had such a great first half after being the
• 59:36
  Speaker 11: kind of forgotten guy that I'd love for him to
• 59:38
  Speaker 11: do it, and for the guy that got in. I mean, look,
• 59:41
  Speaker 11: Radio Rosarina is one of the best acquisitions of the
• 59:44
  Speaker 11: Jerry Depoto era, and I think it kind of flies
• 59:47
  Speaker 11: under the radar because it wasn't one of those this
• 59:50
  Speaker 11: team love. I've mentioned this before. This front off is
• 59:52
  Speaker 11: just loves being clever. They love trying to get guys
• 59:55
  Speaker 11: at the margins and like finding this unpolished gem and
• 59:59
  Speaker 11: getting this great value out of something and putting one
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 11: over another team. But Randy and Roserena was a great
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 11: player in Tampa Bay and the Marin has traded for
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 11: him to be a great player in Seattle, and he's
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 11: been a great player in Seattle. And I'm really happy
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 11: for him because going down the stretch last year and
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 11: through the playoffs, given his skill set in where he
• 1:00:15
  Speaker 11: was at in his age curve, there was reason to
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 11: think that maybe Randy was falling off and he wasn't
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 11: going to be a dependable everyday player this year. And
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 11: he's not only been that, he's saved their Butts this year.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 11: He's been their best hitter pretty much since opening day,
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 11: so it couldn't be happening here for the guy. I
• 1:00:31
  Speaker 11: think that the Marinas will end up getting one or
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 11: two more arms in, and honestly, I know their record.
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 11: I know that they're in first place in the division. Dude,
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 11: there's not that many guys on this roster that deserve
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 11: to be All Stars this year. Let's just be honest
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 11: about it. It's fine, Chris, I don't care.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 12: I wish none of them went and they all got
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 12: a nice wake off, and you know I'll end up
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 12: having to cover it, I'm sure, or something along those lines.
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 12: It's a meaningless event.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 11: I don't care, Can I Can I just say I'm
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 11: always happy for the if the players care and they're
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 11: excited about it, I'm really happy for him. I know
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 11: that for some guys it means a lot.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 12: Yeah, Oh for sure.
• 1:01:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I would say. I guess my question, you, Chris,
• 1:01:15
  Speaker 2: would be this because Nathan brought it up, and I
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 2: think this is this maybe speaks to the scuffles they've
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: had offensively, especially There wasn't really a snub, was there.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: There was no snub offense on the as far as
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: the batters are concerned.
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 12: No, no, absolutely not. And Bryce Miller absolutely would have
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 12: made it if not for the fact that he doesn't
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 12: have like the innings that some of these other guys have.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 12: And you know, you look at Logan Gilbert's numbers and
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 12: Emerson Hancock's numbers, and they're right in line with a
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 12: lot of guys who made the team or you know,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 12: will be potential cast offs because of when they pitch.
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 12: And I don't remember when Gilbert and Miller are scheduled
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 12: to pitch, because who can know anything when you got
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 12: a piggyback potentially threatening your rotation order. But yeah, I mean, look,
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 12: none of the hitters were good enough outside of Randy A.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 12: Rose Arena to get there, andres when you certainly wasn't
• 1:02:06
  Speaker 12: good enough in this first half to be a repeat
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 12: All Star, and none of the pitchers outside of Miller.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 12: And again, the argument for Miller would have to be,
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 12: you probably have to double his innings in order to
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 12: justify putting him on this All Star team. So yeah,
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 12: that's ultimately where I end up with. And oh, by
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 12: the way, I.
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 2: Just don't care, all right, that is okay, before we
• 1:02:30
  Speaker 2: get to let me just wrap things up here real quick.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 2: I'm with you first of all, as far as that
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: I think it does speak volumes where they are, you know.
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: I mean, Julio was trending in that direction, but didn't
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 2: have didn't have the June you know, at least the
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 2: results wise. By the way, your friend Chris Chris, your
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: friend Joshian last week did point out that Julio deserved
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: better this month, like in terms of his expected you know,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: average whatever whatever nerd number he gives me every week
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 2: that only you guys understand, but which I think was
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: a positive development. I do want to I don't want
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 2: to swuff I joke about it, but I think it's
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 2: important that you know, like Julio didn't have a great
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: first month, had a really strong May. Numbers in June
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: weren't spectacular. They were pretty bad except for the fact that,
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 2: like the ball, he just didn't have a good luck
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 2: along the way.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 12: Yeah, he made hard contacted the ball just didn't get
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 12: over the fence, and a lot of that hard contact
• 1:03:17
  Speaker 12: ended up in gloves. I'm just a little tired of
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 12: seeing excuses for it, you know what I mean. Like,
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 12: and Jim's not making an excuses. He's just being honest
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 12: with us, And like you know, Julio Rodriguez has an
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 12: OPS plus right now is one thirteen, which is above average,
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 12: and we have not seen anywhere close to the best
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 12: of him. I'm not worried about Julio. I have no
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 12: doubt there's enough of a sample size here that the
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 12: second half is going to be good. I just can't
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 12: get too concerned about a bad June from Julio Rodriguez
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 12: because I've seen it enough that it hasn't ended up battering.
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 2: All righty, let's do this. Let's wrap it up with
• 1:03:54
  Speaker 2: the final, uh little game, the final week before we
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: get to the All Star brand, and I head into
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 2: the little bit of the mid season summer class whatever
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 2: the hell they want to call it these days. The
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: trip to Florida Ladies and gentlemen, Miami and then Tampa
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: at Bay. So, Nathan, you're shaking your head thoughts.
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 11: Yeah, they better be able to bottle what they did
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 11: Saturday and Sunday, because this road trip sucks. And the
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 11: Marlins are one of the hottest teams in baseball, really feisty, competitive,
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 11: pre interesting team over there. And then Tampa's doing the
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 11: witchcraft thing where they just win every single baseball baseball
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 11: game that they play. I think Junior Kevinira has hit
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 11: eighteen home runs in the last four games or something
• 1:04:37
  Speaker 11: like that, which I'm pretty sure is a major league record.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 11: So and just extrapolating past that, I know we'll talk
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 11: about it. They got to get it together, not just
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 11: this week. The schedule more or less between now and
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 11: the end of August is very tough.
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 12: Yeah, yeah, it is a it's a gauntlet. And I'll
• 1:04:55
  Speaker 12: say this, the Miami Marlins are due some baseball karmat
• 1:04:58
  Speaker 12: because they pulled a guy after seven perfect innings at
• 1:05:01
  Speaker 12: ninety two pitches. So I can't root for that baseball
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 12: team to have success because that's one of the stupidest
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 12: things that I've ever seen. And I think we'd be
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 12: talking about it more if it wasn't for the stupid
• 1:05:10
  Speaker 12: thing that is happening with the soccer team. But if
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 12: you can go three and three this week, I think
• 1:05:14
  Speaker 12: you're doing really well.
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, headed the break and away you go, all right, gentlemen,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: tonight US Ben's national team final question would be this, Chris,
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: We've seen a lot of sports heer. I don't even
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: think there's a debate. It's the biggest thing that's ever
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 2: happened to city sports wise, is it not?
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 12: Oh? Without question? Like just absolutely, and anybody who has
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 12: a chance to go, I really wish I could go
• 1:05:38
  Speaker 12: appreciate it because you will probably never see anything quite
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 12: like this, Like a World Series will be huge. If
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 12: somehow Seattle ever got a Super Bowl, it would be
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 12: maybe just a tier below I would say for this,
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 12: Like the only thing I think it'd be bigger is
• 1:05:53
  Speaker 12: the World Cup Final and if USA was playing in
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 12: the World Cup Final as well, Like that's the only
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 12: way I could see this being any bigger. Like this
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 12: is awesome, and appreciate it, and appreciate how cool of
• 1:06:03
  Speaker 12: a sports down Seattle, Washington is.
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 11: Two point seven billion people watch the Cape Verde Argentina game.
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 11: Like it's impossible to really get the American sports mind
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 11: if you're not huge into soccer, understand what a global
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 11: event these things really are. Like we're shining, We're putting
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 11: every This is like the World Series and the Super
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 11: Bowl and the Stanley Cup and the college football national
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 11: title all combined into one thing, and the entire world
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 11: is watching it at the exact same time. It's also
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 11: perfect weather outside Seattle is going to show out. This
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 11: is going to be such an incredible moment for the city.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 11: I just it is, without a doubt, the biggest sporting
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 11: event in this region's history by a fair margin.
• 1:06:44
  Speaker 1: I think.
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: Go subscribe to mile Y on YouTube and check out
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: our friend Chris Crawford after every Marider game. In the meantime,
• 1:06:50
  Speaker 2: we'll talk to you boys next week. Go Usa, you
• 1:06:52
  Speaker 2: will say you will say back. Anders re joins us
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 2: at Jimmy's next.
• 1:07:00
  Speaker 9: In Forness on your home for the Huskies cracking and
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 9: the Twelfth Man, brought to you by Seattle's closest snow
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 9: Call me Casino and Hotel on Sports Radio ninety three
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 9: point three kjr FM.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 2: All right, we're back here at Jimmy's on first Dan
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: Forness Anderson Hurst on and shotgun. He'll be of course,
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: uh pre half at postgame as well. The game is
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 2: there right here on I three point three k FM.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: Jackson Felt will be on that broadcast as well. He's
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: here with us and to a headset on because these
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: two guys just wandered occidental a moment ago. Before I
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: get to that no score Portugal, Spain, Jackson, what are
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 2: we seeing.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 1: Spain is not clinical enough in the final third.
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 15: They're getting bodies and they're getting chances in the box,
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 15: but they're just not coming through with good enough plays.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 15: And eventually you wonder if a guy like Ronaldo isn't
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 15: gonna capitalize on one moment and have a hero moment.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 1: Portugal is very much in this game right now.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 2: Anders you want Spain right, Yeah, mainly because of some juice. Okay,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: have hop out from from a murcus downpoint us A.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 5: To be honest, I could see both of these they haven't.
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 5: Neither has really impressed me that much. I think us
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 5: kind of I would have thought originally that the US,
• 1:08:12
  Speaker 5: no matter who they would have played, would have been
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 5: the underdog. I'm starting to think they have a chance
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 5: against both of these teams who they played.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: I agree.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 15: I mean, if Spain plays this poorly and can't seem
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 15: to get up, I mean they get shots off, but
• 1:08:24
  Speaker 15: they're not good shots.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 1: They're not dangerous shots.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 15: In Portugal, I've always thought the United States had a
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 15: chance against Portugal, so right now we should be dreaming
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 15: of a semi final against.
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 1: France, all right, Just as if someone said that.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 2: It's almost who's all right now. Listen, Should I pull
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 2: a Softy here and try to get a peele chanting?
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: That's just you know, you know, if he was here
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: by the way, just yes or no, yeah, no yes?
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 1: Or how about if how about if Anders does it?
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 1: I'm not that. I don't think I'm not either.
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 15: It is not like it's just I don't know. There's
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 15: something that only shops only him. So he he walked
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 15: through here, we were walking. He's wearing the the Apollo
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 15: Creed America shorts right now, and he like he shaved
• 1:09:14
  Speaker 15: his head and I'm a little bit surprised he didn't
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 15: actually paint his head with.
• 1:09:18
  Speaker 1: I don't know if I did. I didn't look. I
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 1: didn't want to look that close.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 3: Jack best friend.
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 1: Jackson.
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 5: He's saving it for the sun because then he'll get
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 5: sunburned and he'll be all read.
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 1: I see. You know.
• 1:09:30
  Speaker 2: The thing the thing with those shorts and his outfit
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 2: is with his buddy Casey.
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 1: I think he actually bury his buddy Barry. They walk
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: by like Softy.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: Looks as normal as can be because there's people here
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: like it's you know, Andrews mentioned this early Jackson. The
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: cool thing about the World Cup that we're seeing here
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 2: in Seattle, like there's there's literally three Belgian fans in here.
• 1:09:51
  Speaker 2: Everyone else is America and USA, and these three guys
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: are shaking. Everyone's having fun, everyone's together. The patriotism that
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 2: were like, everyone's wearing stars and stripes USA something I
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 2: didn't have that I wore blue and red. So I
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 2: figured out you got it, I got it right, Like
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 2: this is such a unique event. We've sat in this
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 2: bar a lot of times over the years since I
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 2: think they opened in two thousand and seven, two thousand
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: and eight, first time we came in here, you know,
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 2: for baseball, and then we've had so many football games
• 1:10:24
  Speaker 2: and Monday night games, championship games. If those three guys
• 1:10:29
  Speaker 2: were in the Belgium jerseys were wearing forty Niner jerseys.
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 1: Right now, yeah, it wouldn't be really very good, you know.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 2: But yet these guys despind all the acrimony between the
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: two countries federations.
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 1: Everyone's just having a beer. Man the fans pretty cool.
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 10: You know.
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 15: It's it's I think you look at the games yesterday
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 15: right where you have the final after the win celebrations
• 1:10:50
  Speaker 15: for Norway who do the Viking Row yes and New
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 15: York New Jersey Stadium was filled with brazil fans mostly
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 15: probably about ninety percent Brazil fans, and so many state
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 15: to just take it in and just like, oh my gosh,
• 1:11:03
  Speaker 15: this is the Viking Row, Like we just want to
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 15: be here and watch this and experiences. Last night England
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 15: at a Staudi US Tech and they're in Mexico City exactly,
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 15: and Mexico fans are right there taking in wonder Wall
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 15: a couple sections over just watching it.
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 1: I think it's the appreciation of the cultures.
• 1:11:19
  Speaker 15: It's the appreciation of the majesty of this event that
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 15: we can all love that we're coming together over a
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 15: over this sports.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't want to do it today. In the
• 1:11:29
  Speaker 2: back of my mind, I do wonder, like what will
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: be the aftershocks. Ninety four, the MLS was created, and
• 1:11:37
  Speaker 2: that was a big deal and great for US, and
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: it just sucked it took so long for us to
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 2: get a team in the MLS here in Seattle because,
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: as we've shown, there's no better soccer city in America.
• 1:11:45
  Speaker 2: Story that's not up for debate, but like we'll talk
• 1:11:49
  Speaker 2: about it down the road. The further the US goes,
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 2: the better. It's just simples and I'm not talking just
• 1:11:54
  Speaker 2: sort rooting interest, just overall and what I mean with
• 1:11:57
  Speaker 2: the growth of sport. I would just say this again.
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: We'll talk about can help the MLS and stuff that's
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 2: for another day. But what I do think, where I
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: do think it will help guys is at the youth
• 1:12:06
  Speaker 2: level because playing soccer right now, more so than ever before.
• 1:12:12
  Speaker 1: Has been cool is cool.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 5: Brad Evans talked about this yesterday we did the Mexico
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 5: England game.
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 1: Fantastic game, by the way.
• 1:12:19
  Speaker 5: But he said, this is a huge moment for those
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 5: people because it's not just about you know, seeing your
• 1:12:26
  Speaker 5: national team have success on the big stage. Yes, that's important,
• 1:12:29
  Speaker 5: it's about how the rest of the world views people
• 1:12:32
  Speaker 5: from the US. These guys are now going to be
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 5: taken seriously, not just the first team, but when you're
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 5: a European team recruiting for players, you saw that the
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 5: US and kind of them growing up through other European teams,
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 5: which most of this team is at this point, and
• 1:12:49
  Speaker 5: you see that, now, okay, I can get the players
• 1:12:52
  Speaker 5: like that on my team. It's going to create another
• 1:12:55
  Speaker 5: avenue for younger players to now go do that, and
• 1:12:58
  Speaker 5: it's gonna continue the tenuously be a cycle.
• 1:13:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just I think it's gonna be a boost for
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: you soccer, I really do. I think it's gonna be
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 2: a big booth booth for you sofcer.
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 15: The thing with you know, young athletic kids right now
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 15: is that you look at the avenues to go baseball, football, basketball, soccer,
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 15: even hockey right now. Obviously with the new ice ring
• 1:13:15
  Speaker 15: going on the east side, it's one of those things
• 1:13:18
  Speaker 15: where soccer, with the with this tournament, should have another
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 15: boom that leads to another golden generation. Right now, the
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 15: United States are in a golden generation well minus let's
• 1:13:28
  Speaker 15: just minus twenty five years, let's minus thirty years. That's
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 15: when a lot of this team was, you know, their
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 15: parents were just thinking about having kids. They raise them
• 1:13:38
  Speaker 15: in soccer. Those kids then go into soccer, you get
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 15: your Christian polistic, you get your you know stars there now.
• 1:13:43
  Speaker 15: So let's get another golden generation thirty years from now.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 1: Thanks to this and that staying one zero.
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 15: In the ninety first minute Spain with what looks to
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 15: be the winner.
• 1:13:54
  Speaker 1: Wow, I would thank you very much. I don't know
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 1: if i'd say that, Jackson. We've seen enough dramatic.
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like I wait, five minutes of extra time. It says,
• 1:14:04
  Speaker 2: it says six minutes at a time. In the ninety
• 1:14:06
  Speaker 2: first minute, you know it's gonna be twelve.
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 15: Let me let me namely one time Portugal has been
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 15: truly dangerous today. Uh, not a ton, Yeah, in the
• 1:14:15
  Speaker 15: first half a little bit.
• 1:14:16
  Speaker 5: And then the other thing is Spain is not conceded
• 1:14:18
  Speaker 5: a goal as whole tournament, and like, I just haven't
• 1:14:20
  Speaker 5: seen Portugal play offensively very well at all. And Spain
• 1:14:24
  Speaker 5: is so good on defense that I I mean, I'd
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 5: put five bucks down on the table easily right now
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 5: that this thing ends one.
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 1: Nothing, Okay. I know a guy they're checking for off side,
• 1:14:37
  Speaker 1: he looks like.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 5: And let's let's wrap it all around here, because yes,
• 1:14:41
  Speaker 5: it's great that the US is having success, and that's
• 1:14:43
  Speaker 5: huge for soccer in this country.
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 1:14:45
  Speaker 5: What I think is the biggest win of this tournament
• 1:14:47
  Speaker 5: isn't how well the US is doing. It's how everyone
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 5: is noticing the other stars of the game, whether that's Holland,
• 1:14:53
  Speaker 5: whether that's in Bape, and you're noticing that this is
• 1:14:57
  Speaker 5: a huge deal in the rest of the world, and
• 1:14:58
  Speaker 5: they're seeing why.
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 2: It feels like me, maybe I'm wrong here, And maybe
• 1:15:02
  Speaker 2: it's just because the world's become smaller with social media
• 1:15:04
  Speaker 2: and the fact you can watch any game anywhere, anytime.
• 1:15:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, you guys all get up at the you
• 1:15:09
  Speaker 2: know ass crack it on on Saturdays and watch stuff
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: on Peach or whatever else. So it is the world's
• 1:15:14
  Speaker 2: smaller in that regard. It does feel though, as you
• 1:15:16
  Speaker 2: start naming all those names that maybe now the sport
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: does have I would just say more superstars than it's
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: had before.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 1: I agree, it used to.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 5: Be like like it was Ronaldo Messi for the longest
• 1:15:27
  Speaker 5: time and then a huge drop off. Well, I mean,
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 5: like you don't get that level of player, but it's
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 5: like it's spread out throughout that like.
• 1:15:33
  Speaker 2: I go back to like my youth and playing like Okay,
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: Pele was the guy, right, but that was it. Beckenbauer
• 1:15:38
  Speaker 2: was special, right, you know, and later on you get
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 2: Maradona and and but it was always like one or two, right,
• 1:15:44
  Speaker 2: you guys, just run all of a half dozen dudes
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 2: everyone's watching right now that are all breaking records.
• 1:15:49
  Speaker 15: Imagine imagine if Holland, in his size, speed and athleticism
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 15: and just pure talent played in the seventies.
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 1: Yeah he would.
• 1:15:57
  Speaker 15: I mean, like we all know, you know, modern athletes,
• 1:16:00
  Speaker 15: you're stronger, faster than ever before.
• 1:16:01
  Speaker 1: Right.
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 15: If Early Holland played in the seventy he would have
• 1:16:04
  Speaker 15: scored one hundred goals a year a year.
• 1:16:08
  Speaker 2: I mean, listen, we're all around these guys. I mean,
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: I bet Brad and guys like that would tell you.
• 1:16:12
  Speaker 2: I mean, even since Brad played the bigger, stronger, fast,
• 1:16:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah right, I mean, it's just I think that's what
• 1:16:17
  Speaker 2: it is. All right, Jackson, have a great time today, buddy,
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: was gonna be fine time.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 1:16:23

• 1:16:26
  Speaker 2: Felts on the talkbacks.

  Speaker 5: World Cup with Portugal, so he is now out of

  Speaker 2: But we're at Jimmy's on first. It's packed, the area

• 1:18:34
  Speaker 2: friend Danny Jackson. He's the voice of the Sounders. He
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 2: joins us right now in the Beacon putting hotline. Hi Danny,
• 1:18:38
  Speaker 2: how are you?
• 1:18:40
  Speaker 13: Hi? Guys doing well?
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 2: Here we go, buddy, here we go. We got a
• 1:18:45
  Speaker 2: big one. It doesn't get much better than that. Let's
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 2: let's first, I told Andrews I want to get into
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 2: tonight's match and what all of us should be watching?
• 1:18:55
  Speaker 2: What you experts tell us we should be watching Fortnite?
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 2: Before we get to that. Let's just get your thoughts
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 2: on the biggest story there is Balligan will play. Everyone's
• 1:19:06
  Speaker 2: upset not named the United States of America. Give us
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: your thoughts on the decision and moving forward.
• 1:19:12
  Speaker 1: What you think.
• 1:19:15
  Speaker 14: Well, it's unprecedented, had no question about that. I think
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 14: the last time a red card was rescinded or appealed
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 14: and suspended was in nineteen sixty two, so it's.
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 10: A long time.
• 1:19:26
  Speaker 14: Yes, there was a few decisions made before the World Cup,
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 14: with the likes of Ronaldo coming into the World Cup,
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 14: but nothing in a World Cup.
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 10: And I think there's two buckets of it.
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 13: It was never a red card.
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 14: I think we can most people would agree with that.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 14: You know, the slow Moe replay is always going to
• 1:19:41
  Speaker 14: make things look much worse.
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 10: Than they actually are.
• 1:19:43
  Speaker 14: It was coming together two players. It was not a
• 1:19:46
  Speaker 14: red card. It was maybe yellow at best. The rector
• 1:19:50
  Speaker 14: we didn't even make that decision. I believe on the
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 14: field it was all dar And of course things happened
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 14: in the last twenty four hours. And I just hope for
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 14: the US team and that players this is not a distraction.
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 14: It will be inevitably. I hope they can push that
• 1:20:03
  Speaker 14: aside once they get onto the field, but it will
• 1:20:06
  Speaker 14: be a difficult task to get rid of the noise
• 1:20:10
  Speaker 14: and that's going to be up to the coaching staff
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 14: to do that. But it's a positive, of course for
• 1:20:14
  Speaker 14: the US, but in the manner in which it happened
• 1:20:16
  Speaker 14: in some ways, you don't want to put an asterisk
• 1:20:18
  Speaker 14: against anything the US have done so far because it's
• 1:20:21
  Speaker 14: been all positive.
• 1:20:22
  Speaker 10: It's been an incredible run so far.
• 1:20:25
  Speaker 2: Danny and then Andrews jump in after Danny, the distraction
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 2: and all of that. If this match will be played
• 1:20:33
  Speaker 2: was being played in Vancouver, Toronto or one of the
• 1:20:36
  Speaker 2: two stadiums in Mexico, I think there would be my mind,
• 1:20:40
  Speaker 2: there might be a conference because that's an interesting point
• 1:20:42
  Speaker 2: about quote distractions in terms of the atmosphere and the steam.
• 1:20:46
  Speaker 2: The good news Danny, I would think, is playing the
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: match here in Seattle, Like people here don't care. Listen,
• 1:20:52
  Speaker 2: there're to America, USA, let's go. But they think the
• 1:20:56
  Speaker 2: decision was great. So I do believe that some of
• 1:20:58
  Speaker 2: that distraction will take this way or won't take place
• 1:21:01
  Speaker 2: win another stadium.
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 14: Would you agree, I would agree one hundred percent, But
• 1:21:06
  Speaker 14: you know, it's just the noise around it, and Balligan
• 1:21:09
  Speaker 14: has found himself in a.
• 1:21:11
  Speaker 13: Bit of a storm here.
• 1:21:13
  Speaker 14: And obviously he's been nothing but spectacular in this World Cup.
• 1:21:16
  Speaker 14: It was an unfortunate red card. It went through the process.
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 14: But the interesting thing, of course, you add fuel to
• 1:21:22
  Speaker 14: the fire for Belgium, you have fuel to the fire
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 14: for many other countries. You see this as somewhat of
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 14: an injustice preferential treatment potentially, and you've already seen the
• 1:21:30
  Speaker 14: likes of France start to appeal a yellow card for
• 1:21:33
  Speaker 14: their main man. Police say, so, you know that the
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 14: kind of the domino effect of this, we'll see where
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 14: it goes. But you're absolutely right. I think for this
• 1:21:40
  Speaker 14: particular game, it's actually the amp the crowd up because
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 14: what was maybe a negative going into this game and
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 14: maybe brought the US back down to even par with
• 1:21:49
  Speaker 14: Belgium with having a Balligan out their main go to guy.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 14: He really structures the way that the US attack, and
• 1:21:55
  Speaker 14: he's obviously scored a number of goals in the World
• 1:21:57
  Speaker 14: Cup so far. The crowd will be into it, they'll
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 14: be so happy. Of course, it's just the other things
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 14: to go around it. So I think the US, let
• 1:22:05
  Speaker 14: mean listen that players are professional. The coach has been
• 1:22:07
  Speaker 14: through a lot of other distractions of the course of
• 1:22:10
  Speaker 14: his career, Pochettino, so he'll prepare these players. Once they
• 1:22:13
  Speaker 14: cross that white line, it'll all be noise and they'll
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 14: look at the positive side of things having their main
• 1:22:18
  Speaker 14: man on the field.
• 1:22:20
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Danny, I'm wondering what you think that Pochettino will
• 1:22:23
  Speaker 5: kind of frame this with his team, because you mentioned
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 5: that he's dealt with these kind of distractions in the past.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 5: I almost feel like this will be almost a rallying
• 1:22:32
  Speaker 5: cry for these American players, kind of an US against
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 5: the world ship on my shoulder sort of thing. Can
• 1:22:37
  Speaker 5: that actually be a positive with all this noise going on,
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 5: that they can kind of take that and run with
• 1:22:42
  Speaker 5: it a little bit here in the next for their run,
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 5: however long it lasts.
• 1:22:47
  Speaker 14: And I agree it has to be right. You have
• 1:22:49
  Speaker 14: to frame it as a positive. There's no question the
• 1:22:52
  Speaker 14: US team are better because Baligan's on the field, and
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 14: of course the manner in which he chose the US
• 1:22:57
  Speaker 14: and being born because his mother was not.
• 1:22:59
  Speaker 10: Allowed to fly home to the UK and.
• 1:23:01
  Speaker 13: Through birthright he was able to play for the US.
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 14: But I think for you know, on the on the
• 1:23:06
  Speaker 14: foot side. Of course, Belgium will have as a rallying
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 14: cry as well. You know everything stats against US, Look
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 14: what's happening, you know, look what the US is getting,
• 1:23:15
  Speaker 14: you know, from a preferential treatment standpoint. So you could
• 1:23:18
  Speaker 14: have both camps, you know, framing this in very different ways,
• 1:23:22
  Speaker 14: but both probably in the same manner.
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 13: As you mentioned, it has to be a positive.
• 1:23:25
  Speaker 14: There's no way you can even allow any negativity to
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 14: come into that dressing room because the US has some
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 14: so many fantastic things fighting against ten men against Bosnia,
• 1:23:35
  Speaker 14: as the as the English did esday against Mexico in
• 1:23:37
  Speaker 14: a very you know, tough environment. You know, those things
• 1:23:41
  Speaker 14: galvanize you, and you know these are pros. They'll they'll
• 1:23:44
  Speaker 14: they'll figure these things out. But the coaching staff will
• 1:23:46
  Speaker 14: definitely make it a positive.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I have a.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 5: Question regarding whether you would start him or not, because
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 5: they just found out yesterday, the day before the game,
• 1:23:55
  Speaker 5: that he would be available, and then of course with
• 1:23:57
  Speaker 5: Belgium appealing, you never know what's going to happen, so
• 1:24:00
  Speaker 5: there's a lot of question marks about his availability. It
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 5: obviously has been confirmed that he is available for this game,
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 5: but with preparing these last five or six days since
• 1:24:10
  Speaker 5: their Bosnia game, knowing that he might have been out,
• 1:24:13
  Speaker 5: probably had been out until recently, possibly having Ricardo Pepi
• 1:24:19
  Speaker 5: or Hodgie Wright as your starting player. Now do you
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 5: make the switch to go back to your starter or
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 5: is it too recent? And how much does the preparation
• 1:24:29
  Speaker 5: process go into your decision making. If you're Mauricio Pochettino.
• 1:24:33
  Speaker 14: You know, it's almost like an injury right where you
• 1:24:36
  Speaker 14: know a player might be and he might be out
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 14: because of injuries.
• 1:24:39
  Speaker 13: He's classified as fit to play, You're going to put
• 1:24:41
  Speaker 13: your main guy in the lineup if he's available.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 14: The different question is is does Pochettino do something from
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 14: a moral standpoint or however you want to frame it.
• 1:24:50
  Speaker 14: Does he not play him because of the noise around it.
• 1:24:53
  Speaker 14: But on the flip side, Belgium of course have been
• 1:24:56
  Speaker 14: preparing for a different player than Baligan, so they've been
• 1:25:00
  Speaker 14: all that preparation down at long Ag because of the Sounders.
• 1:25:03
  Speaker 13: Training facility has been with.
• 1:25:05
  Speaker 14: The idea that the US don't have that dynamic threatening behind.
• 1:25:09
  Speaker 14: Maybe they have a different selection because of that. Maybe
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 14: they play higher up the field, maybe they can squeeze
• 1:25:15
  Speaker 14: the US more so, their tactics are out the window
• 1:25:18
  Speaker 14: as well. So I think Baligan goes in because I
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 14: think the Popsinoscy has to play him at this point.
• 1:25:25
  Speaker 10: In some ways, you're being doing a disservice, I think.
• 1:25:28
  Speaker 14: To his team if he wasn't selecting because he is
• 1:25:30
  Speaker 14: their main guy. But for Belgium, they've been preparing for
• 1:25:34
  Speaker 14: a different player, a different system, maybe a different setup,
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 14: and now they suddenly have to flip.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 13: So there's that piece of it as well. That's that
• 1:25:41
  Speaker 13: Belgium have to figure out.
• 1:25:42
  Speaker 1: Danny Jackson joining US.
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and was brought that up earlier, and I thought
• 1:25:46
  Speaker 2: it was there's an interesting dynamic here for the United
• 1:25:49
  Speaker 2: States and Porcaccino, like, do you actually go down that
• 1:25:53
  Speaker 2: road of starting Pepe and knowing you got Balligan on
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: the bench and if you need it, and just can
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: you imagine if he comes off the bench yeh, like
• 1:26:02
  Speaker 2: in the sixtieth minute and a zero zero game or something,
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: well just imagine, I mean, the building's gonna have energy anyway.
• 1:26:09
  Speaker 2: I think this is such a huge advantage for the US.
• 1:26:12
  Speaker 2: I'd even thought about that. J Hunters brought it up, Danny,
• 1:26:15
  Speaker 2: but I think you've got maybe there is a decision,
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: maybe there's no decision. But I'm also sitting on the
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: other side of find Belgium. I'm like, and this is
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: why why they were pissed, right, is because it was
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: last minute they're preparing for now they don't know what
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 2: the hell.
• 1:26:27
  Speaker 1: There are great advantages that Danny. They have no idea
• 1:26:29
  Speaker 1: what to prepare for.
• 1:26:31
  Speaker 14: You know that there's definitely a play that and in
• 1:26:33
  Speaker 14: some ways that kind of recognizes the the situation is
• 1:26:37
  Speaker 14: being uncommon, right, and it's you know, there's no precedent
• 1:26:41
  Speaker 14: to it in some ways, so so Focio couldn't recognize
• 1:26:44
  Speaker 14: the strange situation trying to recognize the injustice that Belgium
• 1:26:47
  Speaker 14: feel with Baligant by not stopping him.
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 10: But you're right, you get a kind of a two
• 1:26:51
  Speaker 10: punch that.
• 1:26:52
  Speaker 14: You get a player that's prepared to play in Pepy
• 1:26:55
  Speaker 14: or in had you write and haw'd you write? By
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 14: all accounts, it's more than like to like, I think
• 1:27:00
  Speaker 14: he can get in behind, he can run the channels.
• 1:27:03
  Speaker 14: It doesn't affect in the US so much as maybe Pathy,
• 1:27:05
  Speaker 14: who plays a little deeper and doesn't have that over
• 1:27:08
  Speaker 14: the top threat.
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 10: But yeah, bringing him on then.
• 1:27:10
  Speaker 13: Of the bench.
• 1:27:11
  Speaker 14: I mean, can you just imagine what the crowd would do?
• 1:27:13
  Speaker 13: Then? Yeah, you know it's a tough one.
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 14: I mean, Balchechino is in a tough situation as a coach,
• 1:27:20
  Speaker 14: you know, and it's gonna be fascinating.
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 13: See how this one plays out.
• 1:27:23
  Speaker 14: Well, we'll know in what like an hour an hour
• 1:27:26
  Speaker 14: in change when the lineups come out, for sure.
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: Danny Jackson, the voice of the Sounders, also part of
• 1:27:31
  Speaker 2: our coverage along the iHeart Network in ninety three point
• 1:27:33
  Speaker 2: three KJFM with the World Cup. Joining us here Beacon
• 1:27:36
  Speaker 2: pumping hotline. We're live at Jimmy's on first with the
• 1:27:38
  Speaker 2: places packed. The area is packed everyone, I mean literally,
• 1:27:42
  Speaker 2: we've spotted three Belgium fans are here.
• 1:27:44
  Speaker 1: That's it.
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 13: Yeah, what all?
• 1:27:45
  Speaker 2: There are two more walking by. It's insane. All right, Danny,
• 1:27:48
  Speaker 2: I wanna go to you and then Anders you jump in.
• 1:27:51
  Speaker 2: Let's just go. We've got a lot of casual fans.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: We're all sitting around. Okay, we're watching this match tonight.
• 1:27:56
  Speaker 2: We sit down. All the dramas put to bed belligans
• 1:27:59
  Speaker 2: in this starting eleven.
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 1: Here we go.
• 1:28:02
  Speaker 2: We saw a Belgium team that they didn't do anything
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: for eighty four and a half minutes and finally got
• 1:28:07
  Speaker 2: things going in the round of thirty two match. Danny,
• 1:28:10
  Speaker 2: what should fans be watching for tonight? It's good or
• 1:28:14
  Speaker 2: bad for the US. I guess both.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 13: Well.
• 1:28:17
  Speaker 14: I think the US will play on the front foot.
• 1:28:19
  Speaker 14: If they can do what they did against Australia here
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 14: in Seattle and score within ten minutes like they did
• 1:28:24
  Speaker 14: in their first game against Paraguay, that's what the US
• 1:28:26
  Speaker 14: will twenty do. They know Belgium a slow stars, so
• 1:28:29
  Speaker 14: the US have to get on the front ft to
• 1:28:31
  Speaker 14: galvanize that crowd. But you've got some world class players
• 1:28:35
  Speaker 14: in Belgium. So if the US pressed down the right
• 1:28:37
  Speaker 14: hand side as they have done with the likes of Death,
• 1:28:40
  Speaker 14: we're leaving gaps on that left hand side for a
• 1:28:42
  Speaker 14: player called Doku, who's one of the world's best wingers.
• 1:28:45
  Speaker 13: He's been indifferent in terms.
• 1:28:46
  Speaker 14: Of his performances so far, but he's been distracted by
• 1:28:50
  Speaker 14: the birth of his child. He went back to Europe
• 1:28:52
  Speaker 14: for that, came back to the US to join the camp.
• 1:28:55
  Speaker 14: He got some pushback for media because.
• 1:28:57
  Speaker 10: Of that decision, but I think he's.
• 1:28:59
  Speaker 14: Now going to be ready to play this type of game,
• 1:29:01
  Speaker 14: and he played for Man City, so these big occasions
• 1:29:04
  Speaker 14: aren't gonna be daunting for him. But I think it
• 1:29:06
  Speaker 14: all comes down to how does that midfield trio, or
• 1:29:10
  Speaker 14: maybe the four players, if you add polistics into it
• 1:29:12
  Speaker 14: as well, how do they play. I think they can
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 14: overrun the Belgium midfield by few athleticism.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 13: They've shown that they can play with a ball at
• 1:29:19
  Speaker 13: their seat as well. The world.
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 14: I think that the teams out there now recognize and
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 14: appreciate that not just a technical.
• 1:29:26
  Speaker 10: Awareness that the US national team have on the pocketina.
• 1:29:29
  Speaker 13: But the technical prowess they have. So I think you'll
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 13: see a fast, high tempo game.
• 1:29:33
  Speaker 14: You will not see Belgium sit in and defend like
• 1:29:36
  Speaker 14: the teams having it to the US. This will be
• 1:29:39
  Speaker 14: wide open and it'll be fascinating to see which team
• 1:29:42
  Speaker 14: can take control of those pockets of space because the
• 1:29:46
  Speaker 14: likes of de Bruyner, you know, if he gets space
• 1:29:48
  Speaker 14: in the middle of the field, he can pick apart
• 1:29:50
  Speaker 14: a pass. It's gonna be a fascinating matchup. I think
• 1:29:55
  Speaker 14: Belgium is the better team to play than Senegal that
• 1:29:58
  Speaker 14: are just incredibly athletic.
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 13: I think they were extremely unfortunate to lose, of.
• 1:30:02
  Speaker 14: Course against Belgium, but I think this game matches up
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 14: very well for the US, and I think that their athleticism.
• 1:30:08
  Speaker 13: And dynamic playing the check and third will win the day.
• 1:30:12
  Speaker 5: Yeah, Danny, I'm interested to see if you agree with this,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 5: because to me, the biggest question is how Belgium's gonna play.
• 1:30:18
  Speaker 5: You saw exactly and you mentioned there that you expect
• 1:30:22
  Speaker 5: them to play on the front foot, which I think
• 1:30:24
  Speaker 5: has been the type of a team that has given
• 1:30:27
  Speaker 5: the US a little bit of fits. If you look
• 1:30:30
  Speaker 5: at the first game versus Paraguay, they tried to sit back,
• 1:30:32
  Speaker 5: playing a low block that was obviously unsuccessful. The first
• 1:30:36
  Speaker 5: half versus Australia, same thing, and then Australia switched in
• 1:30:39
  Speaker 5: the second half to play a four to three to
• 1:30:41
  Speaker 5: three and kind of go at the US a little bit,
• 1:30:43
  Speaker 5: and that's where the US got really uncomfortable. And then
• 1:30:46
  Speaker 5: obviously in the third game against Turkey, they had nothing
• 1:30:49
  Speaker 5: really to lose, they were kind of to take it
• 1:30:51
  Speaker 5: towards the US and that's a big reason why the
• 1:30:53
  Speaker 5: US ended up losing that game. And then kind of
• 1:30:56
  Speaker 5: all the way in the round of thirty two, Bosnia
• 1:30:58
  Speaker 5: ends up kind of sitting back a little bit and
• 1:31:00
  Speaker 5: plays right. The US is hands So I haven't seen
• 1:31:04
  Speaker 5: the full on attacking prowess from Belgium for the entirety
• 1:31:08
  Speaker 5: of the tournament. They can turn it on at times,
• 1:31:11
  Speaker 5: but I'm interested to see what you think in terms
• 1:31:13
  Speaker 5: of how they're gonna come out in this game, because
• 1:31:16
  Speaker 5: the blueprint is there that if you kind of put
• 1:31:19
  Speaker 5: the US under pressure in their own end, that's what
• 1:31:22
  Speaker 5: kind of gives them the most trouble.
• 1:31:25
  Speaker 14: Agreed, and the course's muscle memory for Belgium, they won
• 1:31:28
  Speaker 14: five to two in the spring of this year. Right
• 1:31:31
  Speaker 14: dominant performance by them. Very different lineup in terms of
• 1:31:34
  Speaker 14: players and personnel, but they did expose the US and
• 1:31:37
  Speaker 14: some of their weaknesses. Docu had a field day in
• 1:31:40
  Speaker 14: that particular day. I just don't think this team has
• 1:31:42
  Speaker 14: played their best. Like you said, Belgium have not played
• 1:31:44
  Speaker 14: up to the level. This is a golden generation for them.
• 1:31:47
  Speaker 14: This is the last chance for the likes of Lukaku
• 1:31:50
  Speaker 14: and de Bruyna to play at this level.
• 1:31:53
  Speaker 13: I believe you know of what.
• 1:31:54
  Speaker 14: Is expected from a national team, but I think the
• 1:31:57
  Speaker 14: lights of Docu, He's not going to play and sit back.
• 1:32:00
  Speaker 13: You will want to go on the front foot.
• 1:32:01
  Speaker 14: And I think tactically these players have played in big games.
• 1:32:05
  Speaker 13: Look at Teelaman's.
• 1:32:06
  Speaker 14: Obviously want to you know, want at Leicester City. He
• 1:32:09
  Speaker 14: then went to Aston Villa, won a European Cup there,
• 1:32:12
  Speaker 14: captain of the team now scores that header, earns that
• 1:32:16
  Speaker 14: penalty in the last game, scores that penalty.
• 1:32:18
  Speaker 13: Of the last kick of the game.
• 1:32:20
  Speaker 14: I mean, these are big time players who can play
• 1:32:22
  Speaker 14: in big time moments.
• 1:32:23
  Speaker 13: And they've played on this level before. So I don't
• 1:32:25
  Speaker 13: think they're going to sit back. It's just not in
• 1:32:27
  Speaker 13: their DNA.
• 1:32:28
  Speaker 14: The question is can they withstand the momentum of a crowd.
• 1:32:32
  Speaker 14: They're going to have to let the English dig in Mexico.
• 1:32:35
  Speaker 14: They're going to have to absorb that that passion.
• 1:32:39
  Speaker 13: From the crowd. They're going to have to absorb the inevitable.
• 1:32:41
  Speaker 14: Coming out of the blocks fast that the US will
• 1:32:43
  Speaker 14: have because it's been successful for them in games past,
• 1:32:46
  Speaker 14: and when they come out fast and the crowd will
• 1:32:49
  Speaker 14: drive them on.
• 1:32:50
  Speaker 13: So they can they absorb that first twenty.
• 1:32:52
  Speaker 14: Minutes and then can they find their game, which is
• 1:32:54
  Speaker 14: playing on the front foot.
• 1:32:56
  Speaker 2: Danny, you got a whole pre game show with these
• 1:32:58
  Speaker 2: guys coming up, so I'll just wrap it up a
• 1:32:59
  Speaker 2: quick one. Do you believe the US is a better side?
• 1:33:04
  Speaker 14: I think now they are.
• 1:33:05
  Speaker 10: If again goes back to Baligan, I think they are.
• 1:33:07
  Speaker 10: I think they can expose some weakness in the back
• 1:33:09
  Speaker 10: line for Belgium.
• 1:33:10
  Speaker 14: They have a great goalkeeper, one of the world's best
• 1:33:12
  Speaker 14: in Courtois.
• 1:33:13
  Speaker 13: I think the.
• 1:33:14
  Speaker 10: US with Balligan, they they they.
• 1:33:16
  Speaker 14: They are the they have the advantage now, I think
• 1:33:19
  Speaker 14: with them and the ability to run in between the
• 1:33:21
  Speaker 14: lines and into the channels, that'll e suppose a slightly
• 1:33:24
  Speaker 14: weakened back forth for Belgium. So I think maybe it's
• 1:33:27
  Speaker 14: a two to one win for the US, but it'll.
• 1:33:30
  Speaker 10: Be tight, There'll be no question.
• 1:33:31
  Speaker 14: And don't forget Belgium will feel galvanized by their come
• 1:33:35
  Speaker 14: from behind win, which has never happened in a World
• 1:33:37
  Speaker 14: Cup to come back from two no down within the
• 1:33:39
  Speaker 14: last five minutes of the game. So they'll use that
• 1:33:41
  Speaker 14: as momentum to drive them on and US will have
• 1:33:43
  Speaker 14: to absorb that that that flurry as well.
• 1:33:46
  Speaker 2: Great stuff, Danning, it's been it's been awesome having you
• 1:33:49
  Speaker 2: on the station, this show, other shows pre imposed you

• 1:34:11
  Speaker 2: I am the king of mask. I'll let you know
• 1:34:14
  Speaker 2: if I'm still the king when I try to get
• 1:34:15
  Speaker 2: the hell out of here a little bit.
• 1:34:16
  Speaker 1: But that's a big test. That's a big, big test.
• 1:34:19
  Speaker 2: I'm going against the grain, though fair enough to be good, right,
• 1:34:22
  Speaker 2: because I'm everyone else coming in, I'm going going out.
• 1:34:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm going good. Like why you're leaving it in
• 1:34:26
  Speaker 1: because I don't have two grand to drop on tickets? Yeah,
• 1:34:29
  Speaker 1: I don't think so.
• 1:34:30
  Speaker 3: I think he'll be okay.
• 1:34:33
  Speaker 1: Look, Fox does a great job on television. Anyway.
• 1:34:37
  Speaker 2: Let's just all right, here's we'll do. We'll take some
• 1:34:39
  Speaker 2: text next four nine four to five one. That is,
• 1:34:41
  Speaker 2: it's coming to text line four nine four five one.
• 1:34:44
  Speaker 2: Your thoughts, your comments, your questions, your concerns. We're talking
• 1:34:47
  Speaker 2: World Cup today. Got some talkbacks too, Do we have
• 1:34:49
  Speaker 2: a talkback too?
• 1:34:50
  Speaker 3: We have two so far.
• 1:34:52
  Speaker 1: I just I'm best asking for one. I need data. Felts.
• 1:34:55
  Speaker 1: Come on, FIFA Felts. We need you.
• 1:34:57
  Speaker 3: I think we're are another selection of our Uh.
• 1:35:03
  Speaker 2: I need FIFA felts. Furious felts. He is running around
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 2: here right now.
• 1:35:07
  Speaker 1: I just he's on it. He's right over there, he's
• 1:35:11
  Speaker 1: on twelve. He switched chairs now, yeah, he just moved around.
• 1:35:14
  Speaker 1: He's too nervous. Good, you know what. God speed to you.
• 1:35:17
  Speaker 1: Thank you need it. I'm gonna need it. We'll check
• 1:35:20
  Speaker 1: those texts next.
• 1:35:26
  Speaker 12: Yeah, guys, Chip here.
• 1:35:28
  Speaker 16: As excited as I am for the game, I am
• 1:35:29
  Speaker 16: also highly annoyed at the rhetoric surrounding the reversal of
• 1:35:32
  Speaker 16: this red card and Ian like you said, who cares, right,
• 1:35:35
  Speaker 16: forget whatever what other people think. But why is people's
• 1:35:38
  Speaker 16: outgraage starting so late in the story. Shouldn't it begin with?
• 1:35:41
  Speaker 16: Var was used incorrectly? The onfield refs just have to yield.
• 1:35:44
  Speaker 16: They weren't like, hey, this isn't how we do things.
• 1:35:47
  Speaker 16: FIFA didn't couldn't just come out and say hey, it
• 1:35:49
  Speaker 16: never should have been used like that to be called.
• 1:35:51
  Speaker 16: So it's that's our grounds for reversing it. None of
• 1:35:53
  Speaker 16: this makes sense.
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 12: Who cares?
• 1:35:54
  Speaker 17: Go Usa, Oho, everyone coming from the trees in my bank.
• 1:36:01
  Speaker 2: Hang on, Mike, we'll get to my kind of second.
• 1:36:02
  Speaker 2: Let me sorry, Jess, I just want to respond to Ship.
• 1:36:05
  Speaker 2: Smartest talkback we've had in a long time, all the time.
• 1:36:08
  Speaker 2: That's a great talkback.
• 1:36:09
  Speaker 1: He's right.
• 1:36:11
  Speaker 2: Here's why, Like I don't care what the rest of
• 1:36:14
  Speaker 2: the world says, Like I really don't. The rest of
• 1:36:16
  Speaker 2: the world can pound in America, USA, And let's just
• 1:36:21
  Speaker 2: all joking aside.
• 1:36:22
  Speaker 1: Let's go back to what happened. Ship's right, and and
• 1:36:26
  Speaker 1: Danny talked about it.
• 1:36:27
  Speaker 2: You talked about it, Nico, Nico Moreno talked about like
• 1:36:32
  Speaker 2: he shouldn't have should not have been kicked out based
• 1:36:34
  Speaker 2: on the wrong usage of the wrong interpretation how you
• 1:36:38
  Speaker 2: use var.
• 1:36:39
  Speaker 5: One of the biggest issues is that FIFA and Nico said,
• 1:36:41
  Speaker 5: this has not come out and made a statement as
• 1:36:43
  Speaker 5: of why they just invoked an article off the rules.
• 1:36:46
  Speaker 1: Maybe I do like Belgium.
• 1:36:48
  Speaker 2: You were saying, if they go, if they come slice
• 1:36:53
  Speaker 2: down here, unbelievable.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 1: Man.
• 1:36:54
  Speaker 5: If they come out and said that that's the reason
• 1:36:59
  Speaker 5: why they're not allowing this to to uphold, so to speak,
• 1:37:03
  Speaker 5: or suspending the right card USA. Then it would have
• 1:37:06
  Speaker 5: been honestly a non story at this point. But their
• 1:37:09
  Speaker 5: refusal to say anything like uh, definitively is kind of
• 1:37:14
  Speaker 5: raising more questions than there.
• 1:37:15
  Speaker 1: Needs to be. America, Usa, USA, Go America America. All right.
• 1:37:20
  Speaker 17: Next, Hello everyone, Mike Benton coming to live from the
• 1:37:24
  Speaker 17: pine trees in my backyard. I'm here to report to
• 1:37:27
  Speaker 17: you that tonight it's not just the United States men's
• 1:37:30
  Speaker 17: team versus Belgium, it's Pancakes versus Waffles. If Pancakes takes
• 1:37:35
  Speaker 17: down Waffles today in this age old debate, I think
• 1:37:40
  Speaker 17: they're gonna pull it out if they take them down.
• 1:37:42
  Speaker 17: We go to around of.
• 1:37:44
  Speaker 12: Eight, and it's all down hill for here. Kiddo's nailed.
• 1:37:53
  Speaker 2: Oh, well done, well done, which I have a coffee
• 1:37:56
  Speaker 2: wall up right, well done?
• 1:37:58
  Speaker 1: Wow when you can, we had a Mike Benton imitation. Oh.
• 1:38:02
  Speaker 4: First of all, Mike, hey, Mike, you've made it.
• 1:38:07
  Speaker 2: Yes, yeah, Hey the captain, you've made it.
• 1:38:11
  Speaker 1: Yes, you have made it.
• 1:38:12
  Speaker 2: Number two that was so spot on, it was unbelievable.
• 1:38:15
  Speaker 2: All Right, we're gonna save the last one because I
• 1:38:18
  Speaker 2: don't know where he went. I want to be here
• 1:38:19
  Speaker 2: when he would be, So we'll save the last talk
• 1:38:21
  Speaker 2: back to the end. But I'm told we've got a
• 1:38:24
  Speaker 2: doozy to end. Is that right, Well, we'll enit.
• 1:38:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, four four five one.
• 1:38:31
  Speaker 2: Uh, let's okay, I'm gonna read this. I wasn't gonna
• 1:38:33
  Speaker 2: read it, but I am just because I want to
• 1:38:34
  Speaker 2: hammer it.
• 1:38:35
  Speaker 1: Uh. Two five three.
• 1:38:36
  Speaker 2: Let's be real, if people these other countries were raised
• 1:38:38
  Speaker 2: on NFL football, not soccer, then we would not even
• 1:38:40
  Speaker 2: know what soccer is today.
• 1:38:41
  Speaker 1: It's not true.
• 1:38:42
  Speaker 2: Like, first of all, the hypothetical you don't know that.
• 1:38:45
  Speaker 2: Second of all, the rest of the world has been
• 1:38:47
  Speaker 2: given ample, especially Europe, ample opportunity to buy into football,
• 1:38:51
  Speaker 2: American football, and they haven't that period to relax. But
• 1:39:01
  Speaker 2: the rest of the world has it bought it too.
• 1:39:03
  Speaker 2: It the rest of the world hasn't embraced in the
• 1:39:04
  Speaker 2: rest of the world like in terms of like a
• 1:39:06
  Speaker 2: global Hey, we.
• 1:39:07
  Speaker 1: Want to pay the international games.
• 1:39:08
  Speaker 5: One of the reason is because the countries they're are
• 1:39:11
  Speaker 5: like just like, okay, cool.
• 1:39:12
  Speaker 1: A one off is fine.
• 1:39:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but in terms of like playing it, like like
• 1:39:15
  Speaker 2: developing players and playing it.
• 1:39:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, like, give our country some credit.
• 1:39:19
  Speaker 2: We've only for being honest, we've really only been at
• 1:39:22
  Speaker 2: it since like the early seventies. I know that there
• 1:39:25
  Speaker 2: was the thirties and all, but if we're being like realistically,
• 1:39:29
  Speaker 2: soccer in this country really started in the seventies and
• 1:39:33
  Speaker 2: when the old NASL started, the old North American Soccer
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 2: League in the.
• 1:39:35
  Speaker 1: Mid seventies, it's kind of when it picked up.
• 1:39:37
  Speaker 2: But back then, if you I'm trying to think like
• 1:39:40
  Speaker 2: the original Sounders, their backup keepers were both SPU guys.
• 1:39:45
  Speaker 1: They might have had one or two others.
• 1:39:49
  Speaker 2: Mark Peterson was kind of the first of late Mark Peterson,
• 1:39:51
  Speaker 2: Like they there weren't a lot of Americans playing for
• 1:39:53
  Speaker 2: the NESL teams backed in Now you look at an
• 1:39:56
  Speaker 2: MLS squad a lot of I mean it's it's almost all. Yeah,
• 1:40:00
  Speaker 2: it's changed a lot, so I I wouldn't. I'm not
• 1:40:03
  Speaker 2: like the two fight three. I just again, Europe's had
• 1:40:06
  Speaker 2: so many opportunities to take that sport and go with it.
• 1:40:10
  Speaker 5: And look, I hate the sport versus sports stuff like
• 1:40:12
  Speaker 5: I love them all, Like it's just enjoy it. This
• 1:40:15
  Speaker 5: is this is the one time soccer gets to kind
• 1:40:18
  Speaker 5: of live in the limelight.
• 1:40:19
  Speaker 1: And I'm not.
• 1:40:20
  Speaker 5: Gonna be a guy that expects it to just explode
• 1:40:22
  Speaker 5: all of a sudden after this World Cup. It'll may
• 1:40:25
  Speaker 5: gain some interest, which is great, but'll do it and.
• 1:40:28
  Speaker 1: We'll and we'll we'll tackle all that later. But I
• 1:40:30
  Speaker 1: think you're right.
• 1:40:31
  Speaker 3: I listen, I'm with you guys on that.
• 1:40:35
  Speaker 2: I mean, Jess, you you absorbed what the World Cups
• 1:40:39
  Speaker 2: all about up close when you and Kelsey went down

• 1:42:13
  Speaker 2: just think our city has been crapped on a lot
• 1:42:17
  Speaker 2: of it by our own doing, like really totally, like
• 1:42:21
  Speaker 2: we've been a running joke since twenty twenty.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 1: We just have.
• 1:42:24
  Speaker 2: And that's not a political statement. That's the reality of it.
• 1:42:28
  Speaker 2: There's too much homelessness. We're we're handing out drugs to
• 1:42:32
  Speaker 2: addicts on the streets. Our city has had issues. It's
• 1:42:37
  Speaker 2: not friendly to business, small or big. They don't protect
• 1:42:40
  Speaker 2: small businesses from prime they don't protect big businesses from taxes.
• 1:42:43
  Speaker 2: Our city has been had had a lot of issues
• 1:42:46
  Speaker 2: over the years since really for the last six seven,
• 1:42:48
  Speaker 2: eight years. Right now our city is on center stage
• 1:42:51
  Speaker 2: and it looks spectacular. It looks like the city I
• 1:42:55
  Speaker 2: grew up in that I was born in up on
• 1:42:56
  Speaker 2: Capitol Hill. It reminds me of why I wanted to
• 1:42:59
  Speaker 2: come back here when I lived in two other markets.
• 1:43:02
  Speaker 1: That's a win hugely.
• 1:43:03
  Speaker 2: That's that's everything about this event, these six and it's
• 1:43:07
  Speaker 2: not just the six days, because with all the viewing
• 1:43:10
  Speaker 2: parties on the waterfront and the various watering holes, get
• 1:43:13
  Speaker 2: it continue.
• 1:43:14
  Speaker 1: It's been a win all the way around.
• 1:43:16
  Speaker 2: It just happens to be that we end up with
• 1:43:18
  Speaker 2: two games for the United States from America USA, and
• 1:43:21
  Speaker 2: the first one was awesome, and this one's gonna top
• 1:43:24
  Speaker 2: that and blow it away by and then some it's
• 1:43:26
  Speaker 2: it's it's that big, it's that cool, but I just
• 1:43:28
  Speaker 2: love seeing our city on this on the Grand Center
• 1:43:31
  Speaker 2: stage and being treated with like some reverence. People like, Damn,
• 1:43:36

• 1:43:39
  Speaker 2: when I was growing up, totally always was that way.
• 1:43:42
  Speaker 2: When I moved to Salt Lake and then Portland, Seattle
• 1:43:45
  Speaker 2: was cool. Seattle was awesome, and we got away from that.

• 1:51:43
  Speaker 8: sporting events all time in salesports history. I certainly remember

• 1:51:59
  Speaker 1: That was unbelievable.
• 1:52:00
  Speaker 8: We've had four or five days, but I mean as
• 1:52:03
  Speaker 8: far as eyeballs on the game, I mean worldwide, there's
• 1:52:07
  Speaker 8: gonna be far more eyeballs on Seattle today than there

  Speaker 8: ever has been before in this city's history.
• 1:52:13
  Speaker 2: That's why Andrews are talking about earlier, right, Andrews. It's
• 1:52:15
  Speaker 2: it's it's not even just the game or the match.
• 1:52:18
  Speaker 2: It's like we're watching the They got the parent of
• 1:52:21
  Speaker 2: the Portugal and Spaining games over now, so they're showing,
• 1:52:24
