  SPEAKER_01: All right, Pegasus postmatch.
• 0:02
  SPEAKER_01: After Dallas Trinity goes to Brooklyn and draws 1-1.
• 0:07
  SPEAKER_01: I'm Jesse Madsen.
• 0:09
  SPEAKER_01: We are a stones throw from the from not technically, but we determined that definitively it was not technically a stones throw, but colloquially, idiomatically, we are a stones throw from our net club's namesake, the Dallas Trinity, at White Rock Brewing.
• 0:26
  SPEAKER_01: I'm with Rich Rogers, as always, pretty much as always.
• 0:31
  SPEAKER_01: Pretty much.
• 0:32
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't know, we got to talking, Rich, about things that we have seen and we don't ever want to experience again.
• 0:41
  SPEAKER_01: Specifically as it relates to specifically, so specifically.
• 0:45
  SPEAKER_01: Because this is important.
• 0:46
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, as movies, that's that's really important.
• 0:48
  SPEAKER_01: As movies, as art.
• 0:50
  SPEAKER_01: Actually, as like art, right?
• 0:52
  SPEAKER_01: Like there could be like music, you know, you see a painting, right?
• 0:55
  SPEAKER_01: You see a painting, and it's like you part of what's trying to be accomplished in that painting is I'm you're the artist is trying to repulse you, right?
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 1:05
  SPEAKER_01: Or to get you to react in some way.
• 1:08
  SPEAKER_01: And this match today is a thing I don't want to experience again.
• 1:13
  SPEAKER_01: But I I mean, but I think it's in our it's I think it's still in the post.
• 1:17
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's still coming for us.
• 1:18
  SPEAKER_01: Um but I but I'm I don't want to experience these type of matches anymore.
• 1:23
  SPEAKER_00: I so so I so I heard two things from two different people during this.
• 1:28
  SPEAKER_00: One was at the end, um Rick was like, you know, this is like it's like the first match where we lot where we drew and it felt like a loss because they tied it up at the end.
• 1:40
  SPEAKER_00: And here it feels the draw feels more like a win, and I completely disagree.
• 1:45
  SPEAKER_00: It did not feel like a win for me.
• 1:47
  SPEAKER_00: It felt like justice to to to draw it, but honestly, it didn't feel like a win.
• 1:54
  SPEAKER_00: Uh someone else at the table I was sitting at commented about a certain play as we got into their box uh in that first 25 minutes, which we'll get to, and um, and then nothing really happened, and they were like, yeah, that's that was like a you know, just watching a big nothing burger.
• 2:13
  SPEAKER_00: And that's that stuck with me the entire match.
• 2:15
  SPEAKER_00: I'm like, this is like watching a nothing burger.
• 2:18
  SPEAKER_00: Like there's there's no meat here, there's nothing going on.
• 2:20
  SPEAKER_00: Like it just no, it was tough.
• 2:22
  SPEAKER_00: Like it was a tough, tough watch.
• 2:24
  SPEAKER_00: And part of the reason for that is that the first 25 minutes or so, we had all the possession, we had all the pizzazz, we just didn't have anything in the final third.
• 2:35
  SPEAKER_00: And as we got closer to 25, you and I are talking, and you're like, this is the kind of thing where you're watching this match and you're doing you're doing everything right except scoring.
• 2:45
  SPEAKER_00: And you know, the you would hate to go to the end of this match and have nothing to show for it, and it kind of feels a little bit like nothing to show for it.
• 2:53
  SPEAKER_00: It's hard to, and and this is silly for me to say because here we are, we're away, we're we we like an away match is always challenging, and so like most away matches are like, hey, we got a draw, but like against Brooklyn, you're like, we should come away with a win.
• 3:10
  SPEAKER_01: I think it a big part of that about this not only how the match plays out, but just like how genuinely we we think of where we want to go, like at least from the supporter standpoint, where we want to be is up in the top two, right?
• 3:27
  SPEAKER_01: Okay, well, what are the top two doing?
• 3:28
  SPEAKER_01: The top two do are like steamrolling these types of situations.
• 3:32
  SPEAKER_01: They're just they're just they're knocking the door down, they're not taking no for an answer, they find some way to to assert themselves in a match.
• 3:42
  SPEAKER_01: And to watch us go after a two-week break to not be able to assert ourselves and get the reward that we want.
• 3:50
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's it's it's just frustrating.
• 3:53
  SPEAKER_01: It's just frustrating.
• 3:54
  SPEAKER_01: I I think in a way, like you mentioned, so I think harsh, I think some in a way is at least talking about art is like when you talk about art, a nothing burger is like worse than I agree, it's that's like a worse thing.
• 4:09
  SPEAKER_01: I think it's a fine line.
• 4:11
  SPEAKER_01: I'm not gonna sit here and argue like a nothing burger is worse than like I don't ever want to experience something again.
• 4:18
  SPEAKER_01: But like, if you watch a match and you don't ever want to experience it again, it could be something where it's like very also topical to this match in this location, is like you go on a roller coaster, right?
• 4:29
  SPEAKER_01: And it's like it's like rickety, or it's like it gives you a little bit too much of the butterflies or something, and you're like, you're like, I don't think I ever want to experience that again, but it gave me an experience.
• 4:41
  SPEAKER_01: Um in a lot of ways, like that is that could be fun.
• 4:46
  SPEAKER_01: That could be fun, but this was not fun.
• 4:48
  SPEAKER_01: This is the the the match was not fun.
• 4:51
  SPEAKER_01: I I have had a great time seeing all the folks that come out to the match and all that kind of thing.
• 4:56
  SPEAKER_01: They're gonna need to provide all that, all those caveats.
• 4:59
  SPEAKER_01: But yeah, um I don't know.
• 5:02
  SPEAKER_01: Let's get in the match.
• 5:03
  SPEAKER_01: Like, um, so we got um, you know, it's not it wasn't a sur the only really surprise for me in the lineup was a new name we hadn't seen, you know, even though she was announced a couple weeks ago, was Gianino um coming in and doing right back and having Beckman move into the midfield.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_01: But aside from that, I wasn't, you know, surprised by the setup.
• 5:25
  SPEAKER_01: I wasn't surprised about anything really about what we were doing.
• 5:30
  SPEAKER_01: Not surprised about anything, but I was frustrated, just as you mentioned in that first 25-30 minutes of doing a lot of the things you would want.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_01: Basically, like if you okay, so we're into the match, we're talking about plans.
• 5:45
  SPEAKER_01: Because a bottom is about a plan.
• 5:47
  SPEAKER_01: Every coach, every team has a plan to how to get through a match.
• 5:52
  SPEAKER_01: And what we have, I think we have a problem with is a plan for when we go down one goal.
• 6:02
  SPEAKER_01: When we when we when when the opponent lands a punch and we don't have we don't seem to have a way back in.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_01: Now that's fine, but we have to if if we're not gonna if if we're not gonna prevent an opponent from going from going one up on us to start, we've gotta find ways to to to go one up before.
• 6:25
  SPEAKER_01: And we don't seem to be doing either very well.
• 6:28
  SPEAKER_00: Well, I mean, so yes, I I think that's true.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_00: I think you know, one thing that we did do, you know, they uh the announcers long before Brooklyn scored were happy to, or maybe it was just the stats team, put up a stat on the screen that the three times that Dallas has gone down in goal, they've they've lost, right?
• 6:49
  SPEAKER_00: Um and so we didn't lose today.
• 6:51
  SPEAKER_00: We went down a goal first, we didn't lose.
• 6:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um so maybe we can say that's progress.
• 6:57
  SPEAKER_00: Um and also like you know, if you if you if you if you score the pin, then maybe it's a completely different score story.
• 7:10
  SPEAKER_00: But but I I think that you know, just going back to the beginning, the lineup wasn't cra surprising.
• 7:16
  SPEAKER_00: You know, Brewer's off on international duty, so you know, of course they're gonna make some changes on the back line.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: Um you know, I I I feel confident with the coach.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_00: I think the thing about Brooklyn as far as playing in Brooklyn that is challenging is the pitch is much smaller.
• 7:35
  SPEAKER_00: And it's and it's under regulation size, but it is much smaller, and I and so things get very, very congested.
• 7:43
  SPEAKER_00: There were so many times where there's just not space and you and you can't create space.
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_00: That's the issue.
• 7:50
  SPEAKER_00: And so um so it was such a surprise.
• 7:53
  SPEAKER_00: It was such a surprise when they created space to knock one and goal.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_01: I think you're right about the thing of the pitch.
• 8:01
  SPEAKER_01: So I I these are the things that we kind of like often glance over as like context and because sometimes you talk about and it's hard to not sound like making excuses.
• 8:12
  SPEAKER_01: I think you're right.
• 8:13
  SPEAKER_01: However, our plan throughout much of the game was to play a lot through that congestion that through that congestion, and we weren't doing well with it.
• 8:23
  SPEAKER_00: Um do you think do you think that one of the problems with that is as we get in the final third, it's like it's almost like everybody's looking for that perfect opportunity to score, and if it doesn't present itself, then let's just pass again.
• 8:42
  SPEAKER_00: And it just felt like we're not shooting.
• 8:46
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, so when Brooklyn scores, prior to that, they had had zero shots and zero shots on target.
• 8:54
  SPEAKER_00: We'd had three shots, one on target.
• 8:56
  SPEAKER_00: That was those were the stats.
• 8:58
  SPEAKER_00: But but from a possession standpoint, um, you know, the game ended where we had 65% of the possession, they had 35, but I would say in that first 25 minutes, it was a lot more weighted towards us.
• 9:10
  SPEAKER_00: It felt like Brooklyn had almost no touches in the final third, in our final third.
• 9:15
  SPEAKER_00: It felt like I, you know, it did the it's like I knew that we weren't doing anything, but I'm like, you know what?
• 9:22
  SPEAKER_00: Like, if we get into halftime nil-nil, you know, things will open up a little bit in the second half.
• 9:28
  SPEAKER_00: And and we just, you know, it just didn't happen because they end up scoring.
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_00: And that and it's like you've said many times, like, you can only play the game in front of you, and they like the game changes when you're down one-nil at 35-30 or whatever, the game has now changed.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_00: And you're and what you can do, and we looked after their goal, we looked a little lost, like we're like we like it felt like they had more possession.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_00: They were pumped up about it as they should have been, they're at home.
• 10:00
  SPEAKER_00: We I just felt like we were a little lost at that point.
• 10:02
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I think what going down one one goal on the road, if you're a good team, you come back, right?
• 10:10
  SPEAKER_01: And like you start trying to land some body blows, and you s you pen the other team in and you drag them around and you you huff and puff, but you might might not blow the house down, right?
• 10:21
  SPEAKER_01: But I think once that goal when they when they sh when they score, it enhances a lot of the things that you don't like about a match that's going against you.
• 10:31
  SPEAKER_01: But I think a lot of the same patterns of play can carried on.
• 10:36
  SPEAKER_01: But they're enhanced because you're now down one.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_01: Like the urgency of it all like starts to creep in and you're like, well, why are we continuing to do this thing that was that that may have led to you going down one, but now you're still trying to do the same things to get back to one.
• 10:54
  SPEAKER_00: Um well I think urgency is a really good word there because it felt like until honestly, until after the the pen, like I just didn't like there just didn't feel like we had a lot of urgency.
• 11:10
  SPEAKER_00: And that and that was that was also kind of frustrating.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_00: It's like we're not shooting.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_00: It felt like we were just content to control the ball, and I know that is part of the this the setup, right?
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_00: So I I can't be up I can't really be upset about that.
• 11:25
  SPEAKER_01: So I want to talk about that, like no, because that's a huge tension.
• 11:27
  SPEAKER_01: Like what we want to do is to control the ball, to um relieve a lot of pressure, to reduce the stress, and to try to pick out the best chance we can.
• 11:42
  SPEAKER_01: And all of your frustrations with that come out when you when you put yourself in a situation where you're down a goal.
• 11:51
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 11:52
  SPEAKER_01: And there's a tension.
• 11:53
  SPEAKER_01: So I think that's the most important thing is like there's the tension between what we do and what we have to do at that point.
• 12:00
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 12:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um I like I don't know.
• 12:06
  SPEAKER_01: I I I think I said at one point in that first half, like, I if I could, I would have subbed the entire entire team.
• 12:13
  SPEAKER_01: Some of that I'll I'll I'll admit is just me being a grouch and being frustrated.
• 12:19
  SPEAKER_01: No, like it is, and you know, being frustrated with the state of the match and and that, but um but it's it's this idea of of we can have all this control, but who's gonna kill for us?
• 12:35
  SPEAKER_01: Who's gonna be the killer for us?
• 12:38
  SPEAKER_01: And our only killer in this match wasn't killing.
• 12:44
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't know, what can you do?
• 12:47
  SPEAKER_01: You go on the road, you're doing your thing that you want to do, you go down one, and I'm like a broken record with that, is like the home team goes down or go scores a goal.
• 12:57
  SPEAKER_01: And well, now what?
• 12:58
  SPEAKER_01: So what?
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: So what?
• 13:00
  SPEAKER_01: The goal the home team has scored a goal.
• 13:02
  SPEAKER_01: That's just gonna happen.
• 13:04
  SPEAKER_01: We're not gonna go on the road.
• 13:05
  SPEAKER_01: We're not a team that's gonna go on the road and keep clean sheets, even though I love I'd love that, but we're just not a team that's gonna go on the road and clean clean keep clean sheets.
• 13:14
  SPEAKER_01: So, okay, fine, they score one.
• 13:16
  SPEAKER_01: But now we've got a task before us, and so the second half starts, and I'm I'm crying out for a killer.
• 13:24
  SPEAKER_01: And that was I was talking to someone else, so I was talking to Rick, and it was just like that.
• 13:28
  SPEAKER_01: It was just like, who's killing for us?
• 13:30
  SPEAKER_01: When we get into that final third, who is who is really gonna put their body on the line, they're gonna take a chance, they're gonna take a run that well and and do that for us.
• 13:39
  SPEAKER_01: So I mean and and and we didn't get that.
• 13:42
  SPEAKER_00: And well, in a way we in a way we in a way we did, and what and what I'll say is like, so the person that you say on this team that is that for us is Jasmine Hamid.
• 13:52
  SPEAKER_00: So to Jasmine's credit, she makes a run into the box.
• 13:56
  SPEAKER_00: Now, now it was it was really, I think, idiotic on Brooklyn's part to do this, but like she's in the box, she's not in a place where she can really do anything with the ball, but she's gone in there quick in the way that she does.
• 14:10
  SPEAKER_00: We put them under the pressure very aggressive, very aggressive.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: We had our one of our best attacking players, put them under pressure very quickly.
• 14:16
  SPEAKER_01: We could have done many minutes before.
• 14:18
  SPEAKER_01: So that's frustrating.
• 14:19
  SPEAKER_01: But she draws it.
• 14:20
  SPEAKER_00: We do it, and to her credit, we do it.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_00: To her credit, she draws the pin.
• 14:25
  SPEAKER_00: Like, and and because it's so rare that we get pins, um, at least called for, even though we should more than we do, um, we're like we're all surprised.
• 14:35
  SPEAKER_00: We're like, what, wait, what?
• 14:37
  SPEAKER_00: And then she goes up to take it, and you know, it's it's wide, goes off the bar, like it off the post.
• 14:47
  SPEAKER_00: And then it bounces way out.
• 14:50
  SPEAKER_00: And it's so it's one of those moments where you need a killer.
• 14:54
  SPEAKER_00: It's one of those moments you need a killer.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_00: It's like the keeper goes the other direction, you've got an open net, all you gotta do is hit it on, and I say all you gotta do, I couldn't do it, but all you gotta do is is hit it on target, and you're you're you're you're level, and you've got, you know, what at that point 20 minutes left?
• 15:13
  SPEAKER_00: Um and so that's a very different situation working at level with 20 minutes to play and a bunch of subs to come on versus scoring an equalizer with five minutes left, and they they they give you almost nothing in stoppage.
• 15:29
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, so yeah, you're like that pen.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_01: Let's like stick with the pen.
• 15:35
  SPEAKER_01: It's always tough to have uh to miss a pen.
• 15:39
  SPEAKER_01: Um your penalty taker, you kind of have to stay with the the numbers, right?
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_01: You're gonna have to stay with it.
• 15:49
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_01: So she missed her last pen in Jacksonville, and that's one of those where you can just kind of like again.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: That is going to happen on exactly.
• 15:59
  SPEAKER_01: A penalty is an 80% proposition.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_01: It's an 80% in in in favor of the penalty taker.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_01: Just randomly.
• 16:09
  SPEAKER_01: Like you just want to do that.
• 16:10
  SPEAKER_01: You got good odds, but it's not a done deal.
• 16:11
  SPEAKER_01: It's not a done deal.
• 16:12
  SPEAKER_01: You you know 80% sounds like it uh like a lot.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_01: But what that means is one in five, one in five you're gonna miss.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_01: You're gonna get saved or whatever.
• 16:23
  SPEAKER_01: One in five.
• 16:24
  SPEAKER_01: Um but here, you could tell, I didn't like so you can kind of put away one, right?
• 16:32
  SPEAKER_01: You can kind of just like, well, that's gonna happen.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_01: And and and ultimately you missed that one in Jacksonville.
• 16:37
  SPEAKER_01: It wasn't even consequential to the thing.
• 16:39
  SPEAKER_01: So even more reason to just forget about it.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_01: But this one needing that penalty and winning it finally, after uh you know, m having some threat in the final third, and having your attacker build it and win the pen, right?
• 16:55
  SPEAKER_01: The killer winning the pen.
• 16:56
  SPEAKER_01: Now your killer is taking it from the spot.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_01: You need her to deliver.
• 17:02
  SPEAKER_01: And I don't want to go through that whole thing of like, well, maybe the last miss of the pen was in her mind or anything.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_01: No.
• 17:10
  SPEAKER_01: But just visibly, no, you can't know that.
• 17:12
  SPEAKER_01: But I think just visibly from that pen and how she took it, she was really trying to place that pen.
• 17:22
  SPEAKER_01: And it's really not a great mindset to be in on penalties.
• 17:25
  SPEAKER_01: Again, it sounds like I'm talking about like, like you said, like you could walk up and it's we're talking about 80%.
• 17:31
  SPEAKER_01: You and I could walk up and it could be 20% against a professional.
• 17:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe.
• 17:36
  SPEAKER_01: You know, like maybe, right?
• 17:37
  SPEAKER_01: Like, so here we're we're talking about.
• 17:39
  SPEAKER_01: But but we have to talk kind of talk about it, really pick this apart.
• 17:44
  SPEAKER_01: She's not going in into the mindset of I'm gonna kill this.
• 17:48
  SPEAKER_01: She's clearly based on Well, she was devastated out.
• 17:52
  SPEAKER_00: She's devastated.
• 17:53
  SPEAKER_00: And I mean, I mean you saw teammates coming up to her and be like, No, look, it's okay, you got to do that.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_00: That's all good.
• 17:58
  SPEAKER_01: No, and they need to do that, and everyone needs to do that, and we need to do that.
• 18:01
  SPEAKER_01: As supporters, we've got to do that.
• 18:03
  SPEAKER_01: But when it comes down to that moment, she's really trying to place this penalty when it's just really don't overthink it.
• 18:09
  SPEAKER_01: Really?
• 18:10
  SPEAKER_01: It's it's don't think about anything and hit it.
• 18:13
  SPEAKER_01: And just hit it dead hard on target.
• 18:15
  SPEAKER_01: And it wasn't on target.
• 18:16
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_01: And not a lot of people think about that.
• 18:18
  SPEAKER_01: Is a a shot that hits the post is not on target.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_00: No, no, no.
• 18:23
  SPEAKER_01: It's not and and sh at that moment we just need our killer to hit it dead hard on target and worry about the rest later.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_01: And we didn't get it.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah.
• 18:33
  SPEAKER_00: No, that was a really, really tough moment in the match.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_00: Um, and it really like it was defeating here, it was defeating there.
• 18:42
  SPEAKER_00: Like, it was really, really tough.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_00: I was um, you know, I felt like the subs came in a little bit later than I would have liked.
• 18:52
  SPEAKER_00: Um, but I I I didn't have a problem with the subs.
• 18:56
  SPEAKER_00: I thought they were good subs.
• 18:57
  SPEAKER_00: I thought Cam did a good job.
• 18:59
  SPEAKER_00: I I really I felt like everybody that came in contributed, but but you a little bit of a problem here of timing of subs, but yeah.
• 19:07
  SPEAKER_01: But so like we did a sub with Elder Moore with the new player coming in, which is okay.
• 19:15
  SPEAKER_01: You can kind of see that.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_01: Jasmine misses the pen.
• 19:18
  SPEAKER_00: That was predetermined.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_00: You know, when when you sub when you sub at 60, a player that hasn't is not having any issues, and it's like, this is probably pre- and she's brand new, so it's probably predetermined.
• 19:28
  SPEAKER_01: And then Jasmine on 70 misses the pen.
• 19:31
  SPEAKER_01: So that to me, the the subs, I'm not gonna go down the road of like we've got this problem of timing of subs or or which subs when, because the subs coming on a few minutes later, had they been coming on to a 1-1 match, kind of again, kind of clouds like what how we might have thought about like.
• 19:52
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, listen, if that pin goes in, it's totally different thing.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_00: Like we like I think the game ends differently.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_00: I I just think it's a totally different situation.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_00: Um I was happy that from about nine uh from about 80 on, I felt like we finally started to see a little more urgency with the ball.
• 20:16
  SPEAKER_00: I felt like it's like it's like and and I and I'm sitting there going, well, where was this before?
• 20:21
  SPEAKER_00: And that's the hard part.
• 20:22
  SPEAKER_00: And like we can go back to it's like the game plan is control the ball, control the pace.
• 20:27
  SPEAKER_00: But there when you're down, you've got to change it up.
• 20:30
  SPEAKER_00: Like you have to.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_00: And so we finally start to see that in the 80th minute, about 84, 85, uh seven gets in, uh, great goal.
• 20:43
  SPEAKER_00: I mean, really fantastic goal, beats the keeper.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_01: And it's a and and so I thought about it immediately, and that goal was it's it's it was against how we want to play.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_01: Right.
• 20:55
  SPEAKER_01: Right?
• 20:56
  SPEAKER_01: And and it's fine to how I don't want to make it seem like I don't like I I like how we play.
• 21:02
  SPEAKER_01: But I our best moments are when we've I don't want to say when we've kind of suckered the opponent in, right?
• 21:12
  SPEAKER_01: When we've when we've when you have this feeling of like, well, Dallas is gonna try to build it up and then play it back and and then and exert some pressure and then try to walk it in.
• 21:21
  SPEAKER_01: And then we don't.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: And then we and then when we don't is often when we've profited, when we've caught the opponent cold and we've played the killer ball, we've taken it a chance rather than done something safe of finding the next pass, or build it up uh methodically slowly and get numbers in the box, then take our chance.
• 21:42
  SPEAKER_01: Our a lot of our our success has come when we've mixed things up.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_01: I don't want to be the team that only plays direct and kick and chase and is always this thing, but you're exactly right.
• 21:56
  SPEAKER_01: That goal came from how we wouldn't say we play and it's because how we wouldn't say we play is how we got that goal is taking the chance and playing it direct and playing it quickly and playing the small margins ball because LJ Moore playing that ball was not a great that wasn't a great numbers ball.
• 22:16
  SPEAKER_01: A lot of times a lot of times a keeper will collect that one a defender will clear it but she played it in just the right way in just the right moment and seven got onto it and it's just a nice finish but it's because we went against a little bit for a moment for a moment about how we played that allowed us to get that one.
• 22:37
  SPEAKER_00: And I do think that there were a couple times in the probably three or four times in the first half where you know we were trying to do that and someone's trying to play a pass.
• 22:51
  SPEAKER_00: This is where that like condensed field kind of comes in because defenders are very tight.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_00: It was tough to break through that and those are the kind of passes that as the the the typical response from somebody watching it on TV is like oh why would you do that?
• 23:06
  SPEAKER_00: Well the reason you do that is there's a tiny percentage that that ball's going to get through to that player and then they're going to make something happen which is which is what went on to to that for that goal.
• 23:16
  SPEAKER_00: Like that is not a high percentage play that is not and it's not part of the normal plan on like most of it is like this build up ball and control.
• 23:27
  SPEAKER_00: And so like in the first half had we not allowed them to score and we had done we had done a really good job of not allowing them to have any chances up to that point.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_00: If we'd have not if we'd have gone in 0-0 into the half it's like okay well we got this because over time what we're doing does break teams down um a lot of the time and so yeah it was just really tough.
• 23:53
  SPEAKER_00: So then you've got the last five minutes of the match and the last five minutes we're trying to to to get that other goal we're putting a lot of pressure on them but nothing really comes from it.
• 24:02
  SPEAKER_00: The ref gives us two minutes of stoppage which was rid absolutely ridiculous.
• 24:07
  SPEAKER_01: Like what are we doing isn't like a stoppage at the end is three minutes and then you go from there.
• 24:13
  SPEAKER_00: And we had a pen there's a couple stoppages you had a pen, a goal goalie goes down injured there's at least one other injury like crazy.
• 24:23
  SPEAKER_01: Like to get two minutes at the end of that one I mean what are they trying to do?
• 24:27
  SPEAKER_01: Was it like like because they start had a start a late kick honestly honestly I think the ref had dinner plans in the city.
• 24:35
  SPEAKER_00: You think so?
• 24:36
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know I don't know but it was but it's like it's like seriously two minutes like that's not even Radir Ron's in that city.
• 24:43
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah New York yeah I I don't know I've never been there right I mean it's just like you know like what if you famously bad food like trying to get a slice or something it's basically just chilies everywhere you go.
• 24:56
  SPEAKER_00: Which is great by the way in case you're listening to it's a good value is it a good value it's a good value.
• 25:08
  SPEAKER_00: If only they had the McRib.
• 25:11
  SPEAKER_01: Well I mean if only if I had a McRib right now I I'd be a lot happier but but yeah like it's it's just it was silly a silly amount of stoppage time.
• 25:22
  SPEAKER_01: But I don't want to it's ridiculous.
• 25:26
  SPEAKER_01: But it was largely a an okay I don't want to do like the whole referee thing.
• 25:30
  SPEAKER_00: I I'm just overall the refereeing was fine.
• 25:33
  SPEAKER_01: It was just wild that you could it was just wild that there was only two minutes at the end of the match like we can't crazy we can't go too hard on any referee situation where we get a penalty awarded to us at this point because it's like it almost never happens it almost like never happens like it just doesn't.
• 25:52
  SPEAKER_01: All that to say like back to where we started it's still a movie I don't I've experienced and I don't think I ever want to see again and probably get it Rich.
• 26:06
  SPEAKER_00: It goes back to what you were saying earlier which is the top teams in the league one of the things that they do and do well is the teams that they're supposed to take care of home or away they take care of them.
• 26:18
  SPEAKER_00: Let's do it so whether it's whether it's Brooklyn whether it's you know DC like I mean Fort Lauderdale um you know like there are just some teams where it's like like this is one of the two teams Fort Lauderdale and Brooklyn you should take care of Homer away this year.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_00: Okay.
• 26:39
  SPEAKER_00: And the fact that you did not take care of them away is is bad.
• 26:46
  SPEAKER_00: Like it's this this is really three points you needed.
• 26:49
  SPEAKER_01: You need these three points.
• 26:50
  SPEAKER_01: You go away to Lexington which is our last match and you lose at 3-0 and you can kind of shrug it off and but this is just one of those where it's like yeah you're right.
• 27:00
  SPEAKER_01: I I I I agree I totally agree.
• 27:05
  SPEAKER_00: The other thing about doing the business against these teams is that it then feeds on and helps you build it build it for layers it gives you confidence to do it against teams that you might not should do it against when you go to Carolina or wherever and so it just like it is important like the winning winning winning is important.
• 27:24
  SPEAKER_00: Like form is important.
• 27:26
  SPEAKER_01: We saw a lot of players today that Brooklyn was fielding that are like you know cast offs from like a Tampa from last year.
• 27:36
  SPEAKER_01: You know a Tampa team that finished did they finish the last or anyway it did they finished they had such a terrible season that that they're tonight like causing us problems and causing us problems but just like we couldn't overcome and it's just frustrating.
• 27:56
  SPEAKER_00: I don't know like let's let's go on to the well yeah let's I mean so next weekend we've got the classico we've got the classical so we're at the state fair we're gonna be doing part at least part of uh the postmatch from the line from the line so I so I the this the Skyway is like it's what a five minute ride maybe so like so part of this will be in the line waiting to get on it part of it may be after at a beer garden but we will definitely be doing we're gonna have to work this out because I think Jenna's coming Karen obviously Karen Karen's a ride or die.
