0:04
Oh, OK. Welcome to the channel podcast
0:09
Premier about one super. I'm your host, Dean of de
0:11
suspicious and as always, I'm joined by my Co host, Mr. Grant
0:15
Angle. What is up man?
0:17
I'm feeling fantastic buddy, good to be with you again.
0:20
We got to watch some some national team football.
0:23
I think a good time was had by all.
0:25
Well, most. Yeah, by most, I mean, you know,
0:28
things got chippy. You know, there was she believes
0:31
there's a lot of believe in out there.
0:32
They were believing pretty hard out there to two more match days
0:36
to go. So I think there's still some
0:37
football left to play a a big one looming.
0:40
But I think before we get to that one, I want to talk about
0:42
the two matches from this weekend, Mr. Grant angle, where
0:47
we get started. Let's get started with a
0:49
beverage. Celebrate the return of these
0:53
great national teams in this tournament.
0:55
Let's go. And so I mean, it's a
0:57
tournament. It's kind of like an
0:58
Invitational. Couple teams playing each other,
1:02
settling it on the field. Love a round Robin?
1:06
There you go. Some good football.
1:09
I mean a little bit a little bit more animated than I expected.
1:13
I think. I don't know.
1:14
We were. It was kind of like in mid
1:15
season, mid season form was it wasn't didn't have that
1:18
preseason round Robin kind of feel.
1:22
I thought the announcers did a did a good job.
1:24
Luke Wildeman's and Julie Fawdi are kind of pointing out that
1:27
like, you know, some players are in mid season form from the
1:30
European leagues and then other players are kind of in that
1:33
preseason form. But you know, they're ramping up
1:35
and like they want to get like, you know, the blood flowing and
1:38
make sure that they're like pretty sharp.
1:41
These are these are four. These are three really good
1:45
teams and Argentina is kind of making their way, you know,
1:48
toward being good. But I but one of the first
1:52
things I put in my notes and sorry I forgot the customary USA
1:55
to Argentina nil in the final in this match.
2:00
Going alphabetical Argentina bad at, you know, Columbia.
2:03
That's right. We're going by, or maybe we're
2:06
going, you know, in in numerical order by FIFA ranking, perhaps
2:13
USA, the match going first. But we digress.
2:17
Of course, Argentina, whether you're playing them in football,
2:25
basketball, the ping pong, they're just going to play
2:29
physical. They're just going to fight you.
2:31
It doesn't matter what sport it is.
2:32
It doesn't matter if it's women's sports, men's sports,
2:34
whatever. Argentina is going to roughhouse
2:37
you. That they did.
2:41
And I thought I thought that the narrative was pretty interesting
2:44
when Emma Hayes kind of talked a little bit after the game about
2:48
kind of putting the challenge of, you know, forward to the
2:50
team with like, hey, we have to make sure that we respond the
2:53
right way to these, you know, challenges.
2:55
And this isn't going to be like a one time.
2:58
You know, it isn't just going to be Argentina, you know, that
3:01
that kind of breaks out this game plan.
3:04
But Argentina, they definitely were chippy.
3:06
It was physical in both directions.
3:08
I will say that, you know, like, you know, Argentina, you know,
3:11
took some shots early, gave it back the other way, But I mean,
3:15
they're so short handed, like what are they supposed to do?
3:17
And I think, you know, they they were, they were very targeted,
3:21
you know, trying to draw cards and, you know, be a little slick
3:23
with it. But credited to to the US for
3:27
being kind of kind of keeping, I would say most the grand
3:31
majority of their composure enough to kind of basically keep
3:34
control of this match pretty much wire to wire.
3:37
I think so. And I think part of that, that
3:40
control of the match, I think a lot of it started with with
3:44
Lindsay Heaps kind of playing a deeper midfield goal.
3:48
Like it more in the in the defensive part of the field.
3:53
It felt like. And there was I I realized there
3:55
was a pass that like or a series of passes that literally went
4:00
Heaps to Shaw to Sears to kind of initiate some offense.
4:06
But then you could also see that I think there's another action
4:08
that was Heaps to Shaw, to Moultrie and it was just like,
4:12
OK, this is how they're gonna progress the ball up the field.
4:15
And I thought it was, it was definitely an interesting look.
4:18
Heapses of, you know, physicality back there is a good
4:21
fit. It allowed Lily on us to get
4:24
like really wide on a couple on a couple actions that I thought
4:27
was interesting because like with her creativity and like her
4:31
long distance passing from those positions just always keeps the
4:35
defense's eyes moving around, kind of keeps them, keeps them
4:39
guessing on, you know, when that over the top ball is coming.
4:43
Yeah, no doubt. And she can go over the top.
4:44
She can go, she can she can play a low ball all the way through.
4:47
She's got the power to be able to do that.
4:49
I totally agree. I love, you know, heaps where
4:52
she was playing on at that part of the field, like a deeper
4:55
defensively that that ball that you mentioned a sizzling ball
4:59
just kind of like that was the first one.
5:01
It like flies past Jaden Shaw to get to atmosphere and just kind
5:05
of like unlock Sears. You know, she's off and running,
5:07
but was like not even really in the play when heaps like, you
5:09
know, unloads the pass and then I want to get to basically the
5:16
heaps goal. Shout out to Jamice Joseph wins
5:20
the ball. You know, you know, the deep,
5:22
you know, deep in Argentina territory gets it to sears
5:25
really wicked inside out move. And then I love the cross that
5:30
kind of diagonally comes back across the other way, you know,
5:33
and finds heaps and credit to heaps who kind of controls it
5:37
and perfect placement on it. I'm, I'm going to, I mentioned
5:42
it before, I kind of was high on like Heaps, you know, coming
5:44
back to the end of yourself. I'm going to, I'm going to crank
5:47
it up with a little bit. I think 2026 it might be the
5:51
year of Lindsay Heaps. Wow, how so my good man?
5:56
Here's my theory. OK, everybody knows that that
6:00
kit with the number 10 the ran on the back right legendary.
6:04
That's like you see it like I already know.
6:07
You already know the whole story of that kit.
6:10
Now it's got heaps on it, you know, and I we've we've heard
6:13
Lindsay talk about the partnership, you know, with her
6:15
partner, and I know they they, they crush tape together and you
6:18
know, they, they kind of they're in this together for sure.
6:22
I know that Lindsay's looking for some moments.
6:25
She she wants some some glorious moments with the heaps on the
6:28
back of the kit. I just think that's like a you
6:30
can't have all your moments with, with the Haran and like,
6:34
you know, just the sun. Fading of the career?
6:37
Yeah. Sure, yeah, like we we need I
6:39
and and I think like coming back to the end of Brazil, back to
6:43
Denver, home state of Colorado, a great start to the to the
6:49
national team year for Lindsay Heaps and a really good game.
6:52
And I think what was interesting, the last point on
6:55
Heaps, when Hutton comes in the game and then Heaps has to move
6:57
up a little bit, you see like the the effectiveness kind of
7:01
wane a little bit, Sure. So it's going to be something
7:05
for MAS to kind of figure out. But I definitely think for for
7:08
whatever reason, I don't know, I feel like the stars kind of
7:11
align. And you know, there's also been
7:12
a lot of like, you know, negative pub, you know, head,
7:16
you know, to in in heap this direction.
7:18
I just feel like this is going to be a little bit of a get back
7:21
here for heaps. I like it.
7:23
It's a great take. I mean, and you know, if anybody
7:26
watching this show because you're interested in the US
7:28
women's national team, Dino and I also talk a lot about the UEFA
7:31
Women's Champions League, which is a celebration of life.
7:34
Could Lindsay Heaps possibly, if this is going to be the 2020
7:38
sixth year of Lindsay Heaps, could she get the bidding going
7:44
by lifting the UEFA Women's Champions League trophy?
7:46
I think it's a possibility. It's a possibility.
7:50
It's a possibility. I was talking to some friends in
7:53
the in the chat and YouTube comments about Leon's defense
7:56
looking a little bit leaky. Probably not at the level to get
8:01
to where they got to go. And you know, we'll talk about
8:03
Vanessa Gio later, who we saw who, you know, that that
8:06
departure maybe started, you know, feel Leon start to feel a
8:10
little bit, but you know, heaps obviously opens up the scoring.
8:15
What what was your take to that point?
8:18
Because I feel like the chances, you know, they they weren't they
8:21
weren't rolling in. You know, they, we, we weren't
8:23
overwhelming, but US definitely looked in full control.
8:27
But what what was your reading kind of up to that point?
8:30
Credit to Argentina, I thought like, you know, like they were
8:33
able to like somewhat limit the chances.
8:37
So you know, I want to I want to shout them out, I think.
8:43
And the Sears, you know, the more we watch her play.
8:47
I mean, it's not exactly a mystery what I I'm I'm fact
8:51
checking myself here, but I'm pretty sure what she had ten
8:54
goals last season. Yeah, ten goals last season.
8:57
Her out on the wing, her size and strength is real.
9:04
Like with Michelle Cooper out and you know how much how highly
9:08
I think of Michelle Cooper. I know you're you're in this on
9:10
the same pages with me there. I'm a Sears man.
9:14
I mean, she's just like she's another Michelle Cooper out
9:17
there where it's just like I got the strength, I got the smarts.
9:20
I got it. I got enough speed.
9:22
And when when Jamie Joseph, she she lost the ball, wins it back,
9:26
gives it to Sears. Sears ricochets it off an
9:29
Argentinian defender for the ball to get to heaps.
9:32
I think, you know, we got to break out the ITC record book.
9:35
I want to give the assist to Emma Sears on that and I want to
9:38
give the hockey assist to Jamiece Joseph on that for even
9:41
winning the ball back and playing Sears in.
9:44
But that's a long way for me to say like this.
9:50
This attacking half of the roster or this attacking piece
9:54
of the roster is just absolutely stacked.
9:58
I you know it, it's definitely stacked for sure.
10:03
And, and, and there was a, a small subtle change in, in kind
10:06
of like how the US was attacking.
10:08
I didn't really see, we didn't really see a lot of balls over
10:11
the top in this one, right? You know, it was a lot of low
10:14
stuff, a lot of stuff that was wide, you know, and just kind of
10:17
utilizing, you know, the channels, you know, kind of no
10:19
pun intended, But it was, it was a different approach.
10:23
And it allowed for, you know, US attackers to fill lanes, like
10:28
running lanes, whether it was Joseph or Jaden Shaw or Sears.
10:32
So no matter who had it, whoever had it could have it pull it
10:35
back a little bit and be confident that there'd be a
10:38
runner here, a runner here, a rather a runner out wide.
10:40
And if all I've got to do is just, you know, kind of like,
10:44
you know, move the defense, you know, with, with basically with
10:47
my eyes or with where I'm facing and I can manipulate them and
10:50
kind of like create something backside or, or, or somewhere
10:53
else. And I think we saw that, you
10:55
know, to to some pretty good effect.
10:57
You know, I think there was still some work to do, you know,
10:59
down the road, but I think a lot of good chances were created off
11:03
off that type of action. 100% And I think, you know, even when
11:07
you had a fair amount of young players out there, so you know,
11:12
Shaw, Joseph Moultrie, Johannes Sears, Gisele Thompson, Kennedy
11:18
Wesley, Maddie, Darlene, you know, those, those are all
11:23
players with a great IQ also who, who play like when we've
11:28
watched them play in their various leagues where like you
11:31
could, you could tell pretty quickly, like Kennedy Wesley,
11:34
and I know you've talked about her before, you know, 24 years
11:37
old, not like the youngest, youngest player out there, but
11:40
like not a, not a player that doesn't have a ton of US women's
11:43
national team experience. But it is already on the level.
11:48
It feels like, you know, I, I, you know, I'm not going to draw
11:51
like gigantic conclusions from, from a match from a, you know,
11:55
she believes cup match versus Argentina.
11:56
But you know, we've, we've seen her work in the league for San
12:02
Diego wave. And I just think this is another
12:04
player that Emma Hayes has identified.
12:07
And it's like, OK, like you're these players are, you know,
12:10
really smart and they're able to kind of run a whether it's a
12:13
ball dominant system or we could you could play on the counter.
12:16
You can move around and you can see Wesley kind of like
12:19
switching where she was on the pitch.
12:21
It's just got, he just got a lot of weapons all over the field.
12:26
I thought, you know, I can't help but think about the back 3
12:30
of it, all right? You know, it's like, you know,
12:33
you see Tara Rudd out there. Congratulations on nuptials.
12:36
You mentioned Kennedy Wesley and just saw Thompson on the other
12:39
side and then we talked about the midfield, you know, midfield
12:42
problem. You know, it's like it would
12:44
make that it's alleviated a little bit when you can, you
12:46
know, put four of them out there.
12:48
And I think we we saw that to to some some positive effect too.
12:53
I thought the back three worked OK, I'll say, you know, I
12:58
thought I thought Wesley looked good in spots, you know, when
13:02
she was called into action. Same thing with with with Tara
13:05
Red, but when they had to play off each other, the the
13:08
chemistry looked, you know, obviously, you know, it's not
13:10
going to be great. It's not going to like, you
13:12
know, as natural as as you'd like.
13:15
But if Hayes is going to kind of employ like a back 3 when we're
13:20
facing teams like Argentina to kind of like mix things up and
13:23
be a little bit more, you know, a little bit more of a forward
13:26
lean, I think that's really, really exciting.
13:29
Super smart and, you know, obviously I live up here in
13:34
Seattle. I cover Seattle rain football
13:35
club. There were there were some
13:37
eyebrows raised when manager Laurel Harvey took Maddie
13:41
Dalene, who started the season, you know, looking like a very
13:45
talented young attacker, which she is.
13:47
And Laura Harvey did a Laura Harvey thing and said, what if I
13:50
play you? What if I play at wingback and
13:53
defense? It was here.
13:54
See how you how you fair that in that position.
13:58
But then to see MA Hayes kind of employed the same thing, you
14:01
know, obviously, you know, I'm not, I'm not going to pretend
14:04
like I know anything about the relationship between Laura
14:06
Harvey and MA Hayes. They're both English.
14:09
I know that all all English people know each other.
14:11
Can we confirm that? Of course, I think so.
14:13
That's a tiny country. It's very nice, but.
14:16
It's all related if you go back farther.
14:18
Exactly. But you know, like, there's
14:21
obviously like there, there's some there, there, there's
14:25
clearly like some some symmetry there and some kind of like, oh,
14:28
OK, I like this player's skill set.
14:29
She's big, she's fast. She could she could run from the
14:32
wing back and she's, you know, tough enough to play some
14:34
defense back there. And to your point against
14:37
Argentina, why not experiment and see the different shapes and
14:40
the different tactics you can use?
14:43
Yeah, no. And I think what one thing that
14:45
kind of stood out, you know, I, I I think I would have loved to
14:49
see more like Maddie dulling chances in this one because you
14:53
got you had some trouble getting going.
14:55
But in the midfield, specifically Lily Johannes,
14:59
friend of the show. Think we can say that now.
15:02
Love the work rate, love the physicality.
15:05
You know, if you're talking about setting the tone early,
15:07
you know, I think, you know, and you mentioned it a few a bunch
15:13
of shows back about Emma Hayes kind of challenging her
15:15
defensively. I mean, I'm, you know, again,
15:18
I'm not at that level of like an expert, but I feel like her
15:21
defense is, you know, pretty engaged when she wants to be.
15:26
And she can, you know, kind of step to anybody and like, you
15:29
know, like just do what do what needs doing in in in a moment,
15:33
you know, at a moment's notice, you know, pretty consistently.
15:36
I thought today in this one set the tone was tough, you know,
15:40
and kind of like was like, you know, I don't want to say other
15:45
players weren't with their foot on the gas, but I think it does
15:49
something, you know, when you see a teammate really
15:52
aggressively being like at every stop.
15:54
I'm going to, I'm going to make a move here, you know, and I,
15:57
and I think it, it did kind of permeate out, you know, and, and
16:01
it did feel like it started, you know, from, from Lily's energy
16:04
early. It's a great point by you that
16:07
like, you know, we've, we've circled around it a a bunch.
16:10
We talked about like the style to, to the way she plays, like
16:13
she plays with a lot of sauce. And it's just like, she also
16:17
just never gets tired of like, oh, yeah, I'll do a little back.
16:21
Like I'll do a little back heel here.
16:22
Or like I'll, I'll, I'll, you know, do a spin or like just do
16:27
like little touches like, oh, I'm going to poke it away from
16:29
the defender and then create some space and then kind of like
16:31
start to glide in this other direction.
16:33
Like, and it's got to be exhausting for her opponents.
16:36
She's just like, OK, what, what trick move is she going to pull
16:39
out this time? And then she got to play the
16:41
ball forward. She can play the ball way
16:42
across. Is she going to start running at
16:44
us? And, you know, not for nothing
16:46
like when you had her and Heaps and Sears out there at the same
16:52
time. They were towering over a lot of
16:54
those Argentinian players and they weren't afraid to flex it.
16:57
You got to add Moultrie in there too.
16:59
Moultrie too. Yeah, think.
17:00
About a a physical just a handful.
17:04
I mean like that. I mean just the those collection
17:07
of players. I mean, I don't even I wouldn't
17:09
want to much want to be in the same room with those players.
17:13
You know, I mean a lot, a lot, a lot to handle going ahead.
17:18
What? So obviously we, we got, we, we
17:20
got sunk into, you know, kind of like US strategy talk.
17:25
So US goes up 1. You mentioned Jimmy's Joseph
17:30
getting the hockey assist in the personal record book.
17:32
I had Jimmy's Joseph with a goal in the ITC personal record book.
17:37
Talk about an erroneous offside goal.
17:40
Just absolutely erroneous. I was going to say, is it, is it
17:44
a goal? Because it was supposed to be a
17:45
goal. It was actually a goal.
17:47
She was clearly on side. Clearly on side, tucks it in the
17:50
back of the net. You know, a couple touches, you
17:52
know, still with some work to do.
17:55
Yeah, that's a goal. So, I mean, we got a goal and a
17:56
hockey assist for for Old Jimmy's Joseph, shout out to
17:59
you. Yeah, no doubt.
18:01
No, it's a, it's a good call out by you.
18:02
I think that needed to be said. So yeah, we'll mark that in the
18:06
in the ITC record book as well. A good performance from her, you
18:11
know, just another attacking player that that we get to see.
18:14
And you know, I'm not trying to be a downer here, but like, I
18:21
don't think there's any fewer than like 6 players in 2027 who
18:26
are going to be really disappointed that they can't
18:28
make the World Cup roster like 2023 with three keepers on a
18:34
World Cup roster. Like, so we're talking 20 field
18:38
players. There's going to be there going
18:40
to be some players who are going to be really, really
18:42
disappointed. And that's a bummer.
18:43
But it's, you know, it speaks to the talent pool, obviously,
18:48
yeah. I mean, the talent pool is
18:52
super, super duper deep, you know, and I think we're going to
18:55
we're we're starting our end of this little homework this week,
18:58
starting to look at learn about some of these players coming
19:00
into the league this year as well that are looking pretty
19:03
fierce. We've got players, you know, on
19:05
maternity and, you know, coming back and various, various stages
19:09
of, you know, just in and out of the the USW and D bubble.
19:15
So I think it's a little bit of an embarrassment of riches.
19:17
I'm pretty I'm pretty encouraged, but and I want to
19:21
kind of hold off on Canada because I got a couple more USA
19:23
things, but Canada looked like a like a like a really impressive
19:29
side, even considering that they kind of didn't play that, you
19:34
know, they didn't play that great.
19:36
They didn't look like they were just zipping and boom, boom,
19:38
boom, boom. You know, it didn't look like
19:39
clockwork out there. They they kind of sidled their
19:43
way into A to a big win. But we'll we'll get to that in a
19:45
second. Is there anything else?
19:49
I mentioned the Jamies Joseph ITC personal record, but goal.
19:53
There was a second goal in this one from Jaden Shaw.
19:57
I think Keeper kind of flubbed that one, but credit to Shaw for
20:00
kind of. You know, putting, you know,
20:02
making the keeper make a play, keeper does not make a play.
20:05
And that second goal turns out to be pretty, pretty big in
20:08
terms of putting it out of reach.
20:10
Yeah, and you know, off a corner ball, fine, Moultrie takes the
20:14
corner. Really like Moultrie as our
20:16
corner taker. She's excellent at it.
20:18
On your sheep that as pure as she hits the ball and in a lot
20:21
of different situations, I think she's the perfect player to to
20:24
be out there taking corners. Ball ends up back with her after
20:27
the corner. She plays it to heaps heaps uses
20:29
the back heel to give it to Shaw.
20:31
You're right. It's it's a howler from the
20:33
keeper, but you know, like it's in the it's over the line.
20:39
So it counts right. I which I also felt like it was
20:43
a little bit of a ball. Don't lie just based on the non
20:48
red card because I, I think we, we should point out, I mean
20:52
Evelyn Dominguez for Argentina, she grabs, this is like late in
20:56
the first half, I think it was. She grabs Jaden Shaw's shoulder
21:00
with her right arm and then pretty clearly gets Jaden Shaw's
21:04
hair with her left hand. I think.
21:07
I mean, I don't. How do you play?
21:12
Yeah, I don't, I don't know. I sometimes I do struggle to
21:17
like assign like a lot of like bad intentions to players.
21:23
But like, hair pulling is something that is a real pet
21:27
peeve of mine. Like I just think, like I've
21:29
said it all the times we've seen hair pulling.
21:32
What? There was a German player who
21:34
did it in the EUR. I'm trying to think of the dude
21:36
from Tottenham who pulled Cucerella's hair.
21:39
I can't, I'm I'm blanking on it. But I've just always said in
21:42
football, pulling your opponent's hair is just a
21:46
chicken shit move. And it's and I'm glad it's a red
21:49
card foul and it should be a red card foul.
21:51
So I, I wrote in once, you know, once the keeper let that ball
21:56
in, I was like, I'm counting that as a ball.
21:57
Don't lie for the for the red card that should have been.
22:02
I think I totally agree with the ball don't lie moment.
22:06
I was a little bit surprised with how much discussion there
22:11
was about it. Maybe maybe I should just stop
22:13
being surprised that there's a lot of red card, yellow card
22:16
foul, you know, VAR discussion, you know, kind of after the
22:19
fact. I just kind of come from the
22:21
school of like, you're right. The refs are going to be, you
22:23
know, do well on some days and do poorly in other days and land
22:26
somewhere in the middle, you know, on most of the other days.
22:31
It was egregious, you know And then the foul on Rodman late,
22:36
you know, was just such an ugly kind of scene.
22:39
You know I mean from a football standpoint didn't look that
22:42
dirty. I mean I even had to watch the
22:44
replay like 3 or 4 times to kind of see where the contact was
22:46
made. But you can just tell that you
22:50
know where where the knee must have hit right on the tailbone
22:52
must have just been awful. But it was AI don't know.
22:58
It was like a scene. It was pretty contentious,
23:01
right? Like it was pretty contentious.
23:05
And I think, you know, I'll go back to what Emma has said, you
23:08
know, at the top, like this is what we're going to have to go
23:12
through these and kind of get through these, you know, and
23:14
it's like not every red card foul is going to have a red card
23:19
shown and we're going to have to get through that.
23:21
You don't like it's just like these are great reps to have
23:24
have worked through. I I I think that's right.
23:28
And I think they did respond after after the hair pull.
23:30
And I like Jamie Shaw's reaction too, when she she knew how to
23:34
play it when she goes down after she gets pulled both on the arm
23:37
and then by the hair. She fell in just the right way
23:40
to make sure that she could deliver a nice kick to
23:43
Rodriguez, like or Dominguez. Pardon me, to Dominguez on the
23:48
way down then. Yeah.
23:50
So like you, you got to you got to tough it out there.
23:54
But like, yeah, for me, I don't I don't know what it is.
23:57
Maybe it's because I used to have long luxurious hair than my
23:59
trash hairline, but betrayed me. I had to shave it all off.
24:03
I just the hair pulling, man. We got to get it out of the
24:05
game. Fair enough.
24:09
No argument, dear. I want to talk about the team
24:14
that we're going to US is going to be facing tomorrow here or
24:17
Wednesday, Wednesday, 340 five, 3:45 PM Pacific.
24:24
And that's Canada, who I don't know going into this Columbia
24:27
matchup. You know, I famously ranked
24:31
Columbia pretty high, probably higher than most.
24:33
I have a real soft spot for Columbia, but I was expecting a
24:37
much, much, much more even affair.
24:39
And this one got off to that kind of start.
24:42
I think you could even make the case that first 10-12 minutes of
24:45
the match, Columbia's kind of winning that great chances
24:48
early. You know, they faded down the
24:52
stretch, but I mean, at the end of it, I was, I was really
24:55
surprised. I thought Canada really
24:57
outperformed and and really exceeded my expectations.
25:00
I think that's totally fair. I mean, every, every match we
25:03
watch Columbia play and you know, they there's a level of
25:06
inconsistency as they continue to build their program.
25:09
Their federation needs to fully fund their program and actually
25:13
behave like they could be competitive in the world game
25:15
because they they can't like they have a decent dearth of
25:19
talent already. They need to continue to develop
25:22
it and and unearth more players and support more players.
25:25
But every, every time we watch Columbia, I kind of look at it.
25:28
You look at the bones of that roster.
25:29
Obviously I have a couple superstars on there.
25:31
They have the skill, speed and smarts to compete with nearly
25:36
anyone in the world already. And so I'm with you.
25:40
I thought, I thought they, they looked really good and kind of
25:43
like that first like 10-15 minutes of the match and then
25:47
you, you mentioned her Vanessa Gill showing off the vertical to
25:52
get things going. Vertical, little elusive, you
25:57
know, I mean, I, you know, step hard.
25:59
I love that. I mean, a really a tough
26:01
assignment for Marcelo Restrepo, you know, just yeah, you know,
26:05
just get off the plane, you know, land in Middle Tennessee,
26:11
kind of looking around and you know, you know, you know, set
26:15
play at corner and you got Vanessa, Jill flying in and you
26:18
just you just look up and watch her like kind of go go past you
26:22
and just smash it in. A great, great moment for Jill
26:27
to to make that happen. The announcers were pretty
26:31
pumped up about that. I did have a quick note on the
26:34
the the two folks calling the game, Ally Riley and Ally trust
26:37
Martin a little too heavy on the Canada lean.
26:43
Oh really? It was very it was very tough.
26:46
It was like, oh, Jesse Fleming, whoa, you know, like Vanessa G
26:50
Oh, and I mean, there was some sometimes where like when Anna
26:56
Guzman takes that shot, you know, they're like, oh, shot
26:59
here by the Colombian. And I'm like, guys, this is Anna
27:03
Guzman. Like she played for Utah Royals.
27:05
She plays for Bayern. Like this is an excellent
27:08
player. Manuel Manuel Venegas, 25 years
27:11
old too. The graphic had her name written
27:14
as Kanegas with AC and she was referred to as the defender.
27:19
And I'm like 25 years old, plays for Brighton.
27:22
Like this is a player we should know.
27:23
Like it. It was a little tough.
27:25
I mean, there's more players on Colombia than just Linda
27:28
Kaisetto and Lacey Santos. I, you know what, I'm not going
27:34
to lie to you. There was, there were parts of
27:36
this match for me watched with the sound off, just watching the
27:42
football. So I missed some of that.
27:43
I'm I, I missed the Kanagus graphic.
27:48
That's not good guy. You know, people in the truck,
27:51
you know, look, we're, we're about accountability on this
27:53
show me and Dino screw up. We we admit it, You know, we're
27:56
just, we're all holding each other accountable out here.
27:58
It's all right, you'll get him next time you do.
28:00
We'll just, we'll just we get 1% better every day as when Patrick
28:04
Riley, you know, taught us long ago.
28:08
But but Speaking of that, you know, Jill gets the gets the the
28:13
scoring going and then you just like by the time Sonas puts it
28:20
hits that laser into the net in the 67th, it felt like after it
28:25
felt like after the Sonas goal kind of white flag time from our
28:28
Colombian pals. I I think I agree with that and
28:33
another bald on my moment because I think I didn't really
28:36
like zoom zoom way in on this. But I'm pretty sure that when
28:39
Heitman got fouled on that I I feel like she was in the box,
28:43
you know, and she kind of was like leaving and so she kind of
28:46
flew like way out of it. But I, you know, on 1st on a
28:49
quick glance, I thought that the foul took place.
28:51
The little contact took place inside the box.
28:53
So very fitting that Sonos steps up and just.
28:58
She's. Crams like that was just awesome
29:01
frozen goalkeeper and then, you know, credit to Aly chose
29:04
Martin, who calls out the you know, kind of like some of the
29:09
confusion before that free kick. She's like, oh, I don't think I
29:11
don't know if Tapia is happy with this look and I don't know
29:14
what's going, you know, and like so she was on it and like very
29:17
rarely does does the you know, like the the goal come over the
29:20
top. It's like the the the opposite
29:22
of the the announcer's curse. So it was all over that one.
29:25
So so prop. Sally on that one.
29:27
Yeah, and it, I mean, correct me if I'm wrong here, but it also
29:32
looked like Tapia, you know, she wasn't either she wasn't happy
29:35
with the alignment or she wasn't happy with like maybe where some
29:38
of the Canadian players were standing.
29:41
It also looked like when her wall jumped, it looked like they
29:44
were also kind of screening her too.
29:46
Like I think that may like it was a laser by Sonas, but like
29:50
Tapia just had no chance. And I was like, did she even see
29:53
the ball off her foot? It didn't.
29:55
It didn't look like it. I mean, it looked like she was
30:00
the the ball. It was such a screamer though,
30:03
that if you if you go back and look at the replay when the
30:06
Colombian players are jumping, like the balls already kind of
30:08
already passed them. The ball was hit so hard.
30:11
It's like I think everybody was a little bit behind on that.
30:14
It's like 108 mile per hour fastballs.
30:16
Like, yeah, you swung at it, but it was like a couple seconds too
30:20
late. Absolute laser and and so on.
30:24
This is on a freaking tear, dude.
30:25
Like I I couldn't believe looking at, you know, the the
30:28
foot mom numbers from last year, just the compilation of like all
30:32
of the performances. And I think she was like way,
30:34
way, way higher up. She was up there with like, I
30:38
mean, who we think, I mean, she's a really good player, but
30:40
she was up there who we think are like the absolute best
30:42
players in the league in terms of like week in, week out, how
30:45
effective she was over the course of the entire season.
30:48
So for her going to Denver I think is like another, I don't
30:50
know, it's going to be super really good move, really
30:53
exciting just because she's capable of stuff like that.
30:57
Yeah, no doubt. But I think, you know, both of
31:02
these teams have a lot to to build on.
31:07
Now Canada, obviously they're they're the former Olympic
31:10
champ, the 2021 Olympic champions, 20, well 20, the 2020
31:14
Olympics that was played in 2021.
31:16
We get get into all of that and what drones were flying around
31:20
or whatever they won, they had the medals, they won the
31:22
tournament. Yeah, I, I.
31:26
And so now I think, you know, after we talk about a physical
31:30
match between, you know, between Argentina and United States, now
31:35
United States has to play go to play Canada.
31:38
And what's waiting for him after that?
31:40
Oh yeah, you got to play Colombia and what will promise
31:42
to be probably another another physical match.
31:44
So you know, this round Robin style, I think, you know, but I,
31:50
I think USA gets a little bit of a break by they get to play
31:54
Argentina 1st and Canada has to get past Columbia first.
31:58
But I can, I can speak more to that when we talk about the
32:00
preview. But you know, but the, if you
32:04
were ranking on what USA, Canada, Columbia kind of neck
32:08
and neck, maybe slight edge to Canada and then Argentina.
32:11
So, you know, it's, it's, it's a good look so far.
32:15
I think at this point it's like Canada, I don't know, I mean, I
32:19
the, the viewpoint that I had is like, OK, to me Colombia is
32:22
better than Argentina. Argentina put up a good
32:25
performance. I think they were super game,
32:28
you know, especially defensively.
32:29
They, you know, they didn't really make anything easy and
32:32
super cheapy like we talked about.
32:33
But Colombia is better, more dangerous and Canada kind of
32:40
like made light work of them. So it it I don't want to say it
32:45
up the ante, but I'm like, damn, Canada kind of really beat
32:48
Columbia 4 O1. What's what's USA going to do
32:50
against Argentina? You know, 2 nil you'll take it.
32:53
But I don't know, I think I think Canada can really push the
32:58
US in this one and they do have kind of Argentina looming, but I
33:02
feel like Canada's going to want to kind of make it happen.
33:06
Yeah, this is a big high profile kind of match and they're they
33:09
got to be riding really high. You know, you mentioned, you
33:12
know, drone gate, you know, the dark cloud off that.
33:15
I feel like Casey Stoney having come in and, you know, breathe
33:19
like real new life into this team.
33:21
And then you see like, I don't know, just the makeup of the
33:24
team, like a Nichelle Prince comes in and you know, it's
33:27
super effective. Mimi Ali do finally is like he's
33:30
like a centerpiece and like a like a real engine.
33:33
You're like damn, all right, let's, let's keep doing this
33:35
because this is really, really working.
33:37
Those defenders look great. I don't know, it's all working.
33:40
Then like players like Olivia Smith, like they, they still
33:42
have a lot, you know, like in the tank, you know, So 2027,
33:47
they're going to be formidable. But on Wednesday, what are we
33:51
thinking? Well, this is where I think and
33:54
you can tell me what you think about this theory please is this
33:57
is where I think the draw kind of benefits USA.
34:00
So they play a very rotated squad, you know, a lot of young
34:05
players who who I mentioned earlier, you know, they play
34:08
against Argentina and they kind of got to feel things out.
34:11
If you're Casey Stoney in that spot for for Canada and you
34:15
know, you're going up against Colombia, well, you got to play
34:19
your really good players, right? Like I think, you know, so they
34:24
had the by them having the tougher match up, also playing
34:27
on Sunday, Then now we turn around to Wednesday and you
34:33
know, USA, they're going to put some players on the field and
34:37
then correct me if I'm wrong here, I want to make sure I get
34:40
it right. But Naomi Germa didn't play
34:43
Sunday, Sam Coffey didn't play, Rose Lavelle didn't play.
34:48
Are those good players you think that you think they might be
34:52
useful against Canada? Emily Sonnet didn't play.
34:54
She good, she valuable. Like I think you know what Ali
34:58
saidnor played 1/2 hour something like that.
35:00
Like, you know, they're they they're going to totally rotate
35:04
here and, you know, have the ability to to play arrested
35:08
squad. And now you look at who Canada
35:10
had to play. Yeah, they brought some good.
35:12
They brought, you know, send me a wujo off the bench.
35:15
Evelyn Bien, Chloe Lacast, Michelle, Michelle Prince was a
35:17
sub. They still have, you know, Bay
35:20
FC defender Brooke Courtnall. You know who who you'll be
35:24
covering for in the way into Bay FC podcast, which people should
35:27
immediately subscribe to on YouTube.
35:29
Yeah. Shut out Sidney Collins 73rd
35:31
minute goal. There you go.
35:33
Here we go. Heard from her on media day.
35:36
Way to Bagels. Subscribe.
35:37
Appreciate it. There it is.
35:40
So yeah, I you know, I think USA has a little bit of a sneaky and
35:45
rest advantage in this match too.
35:47
And so it kind of makes me wonder how close this one will
35:50
be. Yeah, I mean, I'm not sure
35:56
Canada doesn't have a ton of European players, right?
36:00
I mean, Sydney Wujo, basically United, I think that's it.
36:04
Jade Rose. Oh, Evelyn VN, Jade Rose and
36:06
Olivia Smith. Duh.
36:07
OK, go. Handful is.
36:09
Smith on my roster, am I, am I, am I tripping here?
36:12
I didn't. I didn't know if Did Smith leave
36:14
the trip. I mean, she was on the original
36:17
23, but she may or may not have, I'm not sure.
36:23
We'll we'll kind of keep tracking.
36:25
I would be surprised if they they helped Smith back for for
36:28
the USA matchup. Either way, I think it's going
36:31
to be I think it's going to be pretty competitive because even
36:34
when you look at US as attackers or the forward room, we talked
36:38
about this maybe not on the show, but offline when we got
36:41
the the roster announcement. These are good attacking
36:45
players, But you know, there's no like buddy Shaw in this room,
36:51
right? You know, like there's no
36:52
evapayor in this room. It's it's sort of like good,
36:55
interesting, tough to predict. Oh, this a lot of permuting, a
36:59
lot of combinations that Hayes can go to.
37:01
It's going to be tough to kind of figure out kind of on the
37:03
fly. But it's not like you look at
37:06
Dalene, Joseph Rodman, Sears, Sentinor, Alyssa Thompson, you
37:11
know, it's just the forwards and be like, all right, there's
37:13
three goals there. Like, you know, there could be
37:15
one goal there, there could be 3.
37:17
But you know, the playing, especially playing a tough team
37:21
like Canada. So I'm really interested to see
37:24
if a were able to cash in all the way up top, but more
37:28
importantly, like the midfield, can we continue to play with a
37:32
little bit more control, a little bit more possession, you
37:36
know, connect passes that aren't, you know, these like
37:39
either simple, super simple passes or way, way, way over the
37:41
soft passes kind of in that intermediate range and kind of
37:45
keep control of the match that way.
37:47
I I think you're spot on there. Like how how tired is Jesse
37:52
Fleming going to be from, from her time on the pitch?
37:55
Like how how tired is that midfield going to be?
37:57
What's our midfield going to look like?
37:59
I got to imagine Sam Coffey's going to be out there.
38:02
Is does Claire Hutton play the full 90 or just Claire Hutton
38:04
give you an hour? Yeah.
38:06
You know, in in this match against Canada.
38:07
I think it's going to be very interesting to see.
38:09
I'm going to guess we will likely see Fallon tell us Joyce
38:13
between the pipes instead of Claudia Dickey.
38:15
It you know, hard to go wrong with either keeper there if you
38:18
ask me. But I think PTJ is is probably
38:22
edges out Dickey in terms of like, you know, maybe it was
38:27
good, bro Dicky Dicky's great that that that close range shot.
38:31
Oh my God, yeah. It would have taken her head off
38:33
if her if her action wasn't wasn't so so good.
38:36
That would have sent me to short term disability for sure.
38:40
But yeah, so I, you know, I, I think it's going to be
38:42
interesting. And, and when I say I, I think
38:44
maybe I overstated it a little bit in terms of like Canada
38:47
quote, keeping it close. It's going to be close.
38:48
It's a rivalry match. These matches are always close.
38:51
They're always going to be physical.
38:52
They're going to be tough. But yeah, I think I, I'm really
38:57
interested to see. And you know, I might be, I
38:59
might just be doing the thing where I got I got fixated.
39:02
I'm looking at who was sitting and being like, OK, so now your
39:07
new spine of, of your defense is going to start with Germa and
39:13
coffee. I like, I like that arrested
39:16
Germa and coffee to go up against Canada.
39:18
I think that's a great look. And and again, maybe, you know,
39:21
let us know in the comments. Am I, am I fixating too much on
39:24
that? But I think that that bodes
39:26
really well for the Stars and Stripes.
39:30
I'm going to I'm going to do a thing.
39:32
I'm not sure how I'm going to feel about it.
39:33
I already know some I already know some people in our I
39:35
already know who you know of our friends are going to be pissed
39:38
about this. But I'm going to do a thing.
39:42
I'm I need to see Naomi Garma get back to Naomi Garma.
39:50
Like. You know, I, I feel like
39:52
everybody's sort of doing some stretching, doing some, you
39:56
know, some, some movements like really, really, really reaching
40:00
to try to. Talk about Germa being sort of
40:03
back at Chelsea and you know, like, but it I don't I don't
40:07
really see that that, you know, when you think about the best
40:10
players in the world that are dominant at that position.
40:13
You know, Germa's I think tracking in that in that
40:15
direction looking better for sure, sure, and it was a huge
40:18
move, obviously, moving from from the states to Chelsea with
40:22
everything going on in Chelsea that we've talked about, you
40:25
know, quite a bit, you know, on the show for sure.
40:28
But I'm not there yet with Germa's back, you know, and I'm
40:33
OK, I'm OK if if I'm alone out here, like I'll live with it
40:38
because I want to see it. I, I've seen Germa dominate.
40:42
And that's not, that's not what we're seeing.
40:44
You know, that's what I think this this would be a great a
40:48
great spot, you know, back in back, you know, in the USA kit
40:52
familiar face surrounded by familiar faces, sort of familiar
40:56
opponent to this would be a really, really good spot to kind
41:00
of like reaffirm. I mean, you we know what's going
41:03
to happen, but when are we going to when are we going to get
41:06
there? Because obviously we're tracking
41:07
towards 27 and you know, but that's something I'm going to be
41:11
watching pretty closely if Karma is kind of at the helm there.
41:14
I like it. It's a great take by you and and
41:17
Canada's offense looked good. I thought Jordan Heidema hit
41:21
some really smart passes versus Colombia to kind of like open up
41:25
some actions, kind of like, you know, more middle of the park
41:28
kind of stuff. I even got it in the attacking
41:31
third. I thought she was able to to set
41:33
up some of her teammates pretty well.
41:35
Could have had a goal was offside for it.
41:38
So yeah, I mean, you know, grandma's going to have
41:41
grandma's going to have her hands full.
41:42
But I mean, is she going to have Sam Coffee and possibly Emily
41:46
Sonnet back there with her? Emily Fox?
41:49
She had to come on for For Lily real.
41:51
I know we didn't really talk about that.
41:52
The Lily real injury. I didn't didn't like the look of
41:56
that one either. So we'll see if she just doesn't
41:59
play for the next two. Hopefully it's just like, like I
42:02
was super mild ankle sprain. But this is that's just my TV
42:06
sports doctor guessing bullshit. So nobody put any faith in that.
42:11
But yeah, I I think I think it's definitely going to be
42:14
interesting. And you make a good point about
42:16
Gurma. She had a lot to contend with
42:17
going over to England, having a massive transfer fee going, you
42:22
know, being dropped into Chelsea, coming off an injury.
42:24
She had a lot of things working, you know, kind of she had to
42:28
swim upstream a little bit. But I think it it's it's a good
42:32
call out by you if she was going to like start to really round
42:35
back into the into form. She got the goal versus
42:38
Manchester United in the FA Cup. Now how about a great
42:40
performance against US as rival in this in, you know, in this
42:45
round Robin. I think it could be an
42:47
interesting story arc for her. Yeah, no doubt.
42:50
And, and on the other side, if Canada, you know, puts, puts 2
42:55
up top, you know, and then puts Evelyn V in on one side and
42:58
maybe Olivia Smith on the other. Sign me up for that.
43:02
Let me let, let's see, let's see what happens when those two,
43:04
when those 2GO because I, what I love about international
43:08
football and these tournaments, I kind of spring up in between.
43:11
I, I've got it littered all throughout my notes.
43:13
Oh, Sonas versus Kaiseto, Kaiseto de Santos, you know,
43:17
then we're not used to seeing because it went one place for
43:19
Real Madrid, one place for watching the spirit.
43:21
You you kind of forget that these players play for countries
43:23
too. And these combinations.
43:25
You're just like, wow, this is so cool.
43:26
Like, you know, like, you know, height of her and like, you
43:28
know, I don't know, all of it. All of it is like super, super
43:31
duper fun. I'm just excited to see what
43:35
kind of lineups get get rolled out and, you know, I I think
43:40
Canada, I'm going to put myself on record.
43:42
I think they're going to do more than push the USI think this
43:46
game is going to be an out and out toss up.
43:49
I think Canada has to be feeling really, really good about that
43:54
performance and the US still kind of work working some stuff
43:59
out. So I think this one I feel like
44:01
is going to be a real PK potential with this one.
44:05
All right, I like where your head's at.
44:07
Do you want to, do you want to hit me with a score line?
44:08
Well, can I just before you before you do scoreline and
44:11
possible scores. Smith is not in the squad.
44:14
She had a concussion in Arsenal's match a week ago.
44:22
Did you guys play Bristol City? Did they see it?
44:25
Was she replaced? Let me see, I should be able to
44:28
figure it out. The good machine will tell us,
44:31
and I can filibuster while you look that up.
44:34
Now, who are you thinking for your SO?
44:35
No, Olivia Smith? That's a real bummer.
44:38
Do you want to make a prediction?
44:39
Of course I do. Give me United States of America
44:42
2, Canada 1. I thought about it when she came
44:46
on the came on the pitch yesterday.
44:51
Is the USA playing? Is Ali sent Nora on the roster?
44:54
She's going to do something. So give me one cent nor goal.
44:58
Give me one Olivia Moultrie goal.
45:01
Damn, we're doing goal through. OK.
45:04
All right. I'm going to go 11.
45:07
Love it. Goes to PK's for the simple fact
45:11
that the new PK rules or you know, where were discussed and
45:17
shared and elaborated on multiple times during the
45:19
telecast. It's only fitting that we get we
45:21
get that called into action. So give me one one.
45:25
I'm going to say who's going to score on the Canada side.
45:31
I'm going to say give me heightama.
45:36
I think, I think height was kind of sniffing around.
45:39
I think I think we get a height of a goal and then a a very
45:42
emphatic heightama celebration where, you know, she just let
45:46
some let some stuff off her chest.
45:49
And then on the US side, I think it would be Alyssa Thompson
45:53
darting in, doing Alyssa Thompson stuff.
45:56
In a match like this where things are going to get a
45:59
little, you know, chip, you know, not not really chippy, but
46:03
you know, the tough to tough to kind of get off the ground.
46:06
You know, I think a lot of stuff is going to get extinguished
46:08
pretty early. I think a player like Thompson
46:11
can dazzle in a quick moment and kind of flip the game, and then
46:14
I'll say USAPKSI don't know, 4 to 2 or whatever.
46:21
Yeah, they they sorted out from there.
46:24
Sure, sure. Just all of a sudden, just a
46:26
listen there just runs out from the tunnel for PKS.
46:30
It's just like, my God, that's a listener's music.
46:34
He just comes out here to terrorize Canada one more time.
46:37
Like ultimate warrior face bait all over there. 100%.
46:45
Oh God, I can't wait. These these games are going to
46:47
be absolute bangers though. Very, very excited.
46:50
All right, quick episode calendar.
46:52
We already talked about it. She believes got back in
46:54
national Wednesday. We'll be back Wednesday
46:55
hopefully and we'll be back Saturday to kind of close this
46:58
out. NWSL back next Friday, March
47:00
13th and we have a special guest.
47:03
Our special guest is is also on March 13th.
47:06
Do I have that right? That is correct.
47:09
OK, so we're going to turn that one out right.
47:11
Turn that one right quickly. We'll be previewing the end of
47:14
yourself season with a with a good friend of the show just in
47:17
time for the the kickoff of said season.
47:20

47:24

47:26
be back both of those days to get busy, cover all the action
47:30
end to end. We're in the quarterfinals.
47:32

47:35
It's the eight big dogs left in the chair.
47:37
Cannot wait. Make sure you're subscribed.
47:39
Follow your boys on the socials. All right, man, I think we did
47:41
it. Is there anything else you want
47:43
to hit before we get out of here?
47:47
Is there anything else I want to hit before we get out of here?
47:49
I think there is. I mean, you know, if you're, if
47:52
you're listening to this show, you're probably getting ready
47:54
for USA, Canada. We appreciate you locking in
47:57
with us. But you know, the show's going
47:59
to come out on Tuesday. We got some good international
48:02
football UEFA World Cup 2027 qualifying matches going on.
48:08
Germany, Germany plays Slovenia, Dirk Davitsky versus Luka
48:13
Doncic, Poland plays Netherlands, Ukraine versus
48:17
England, Austria versus Norway. Norway's going to take care of
48:20
business easily. Italy versus Sweden, Spain
48:23
versus Iceland. Real hoops over there in Europe.
48:26
Ireland plays France. That should be interesting, too.
48:30
How are we going to watch any of those games?
48:31
I don't know, Look for some illegal streams, look on the
48:34
Internet, try to find something. But we'll we'll make sure we we
48:37
try to catch some of it. And yeah, I think we, you know,
48:41
just a nice little enjoyable international window for your
48:44
boys. Yeah.
48:46
I'm going to buy me one of those giant satellite dishes on
48:49
Craigslist. There it is they.
