  Speaker 2: It's been a little bit of a hiatus, kind of
• 0:32
  Speaker 2: like you know the Canadian anyhowers in the in the Olympics,
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: right it's been twelve years. It seems like it's been
• 0:42
  Speaker 2: twelve years since I've been on. So happy to be
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: back and excited to talk some culture.
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: I'm just excited to be here going.
• 0:54
  Speaker 4: My Bantom girls footsal team for my school coached them
• 0:57
  Speaker 4: to their first w today, so it's nice. Yeah, so
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: we're one and one.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: We lost our first game three too, but against uh,
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: not too far. But we went to go watch simple
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: Plan Nicholas against Pureful Comprehensive. But it's okay, We're gonna
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: catch up. We're gonna We're gonna get there.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Didn't you coach your other teams to the soccer teams
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: to the finals in the fall or you won your
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: assistant coach?
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: I was assistant coach. I helped both the boys well
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: girls team. I didn't really help out that much, but
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: the boys team and helped them win their championship as
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: I was an assistant coach, though I wasn't the starter.
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Okay, you're gonna move up the ranks.
• 1:34
  Speaker 5: Don't worry. We'll see you on the touch line.
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: And I said, yeah, wee can we out and one
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: day do you imagine Johnny on the touch line?
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: That would be hilarious.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Well, he definitely won't be coaching Napoly in the semi
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: finals of the coal because the great seg they lost
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: in the quarter finals yesterday. Uh, Como, they continue the rise.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: It feels like, I mean, last year Bologna won the
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: coptally fears. It feels like Como is the one. Uh
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: might be the Cinderella story this year. But at this point,
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're not surprised, right, you know, going into
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: yesterday's game against Apoli, we know they were a legitimate
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: threat to Napole, especially with the way. How many times
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: have we talked about this with Conte the way he
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: kind of maybe doesn't take let's say Champions League or
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: even COPE Italia as seriously. I know when he was
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: coached with Youvey didn't they didn't win Cope it tally
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: at all. I don't know about UH. When he was
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: coached with Inter, I don't. I don't think they won
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: COPE Italia. Uh. I'd have to look this up how
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: many Cope Italius he's won, but he won't be adding
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: one this year, Jenny. I don't know if you had
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: the chance to watch a game, I mean it went
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: to palty's Lukaku missed, Laboka missed, uh seven to six
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: total in penalties. Como moves on after well, you know,
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: winning at the Maradona officially draw. But at this point
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: in the season and you almost have to feel disappointed
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: as a napoley fan, no, because they're kind of out
• 2:54
  Speaker 1: of the school at the race, out of the Champions Ague.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: I know we talked about it last time, Johnny, but
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: it feels like it's another like this was their chance
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: to win hardware and they kind of blew it.
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: I'm just taking a look right now as a manager.
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: He's never won to Goby Dalia. He's won two soap
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: super cop, but he's never wanted to copy Dalia.
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: There you will.
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, uh so I'll be real like it does suck.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: It's annoying because like we've talked about the last last episode,
• 3:27
  Speaker 3: where you go out, you get your players to try to,
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: you know, make pushes in your europ sorry Champions League.
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: You want to focus on three competitions instead of one,
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: and you drop the ball in all three. Uh it's
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: injuries did catch up monopoly though, That's that's one thing
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: I will give credit to, uh credit like a bit
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: of a pass towards Conte, Like it's injuries, uh do
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: catch up to the team. But like I said, it's
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: not looking too too good when it's when it's gonna
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: when it's coming down to when it's coming down to
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: like to the to to like the meat and bones
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: of it, where you know it's crunch time. You gotta
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: show your competitive team and that's it. And I don't
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: think I don't think Conte is really liking his time
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: right now.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: So yeah, it looks like I don't know if there's friction,
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: like just as an outsider, it's it's probably hard to
• 4:20
  Speaker 2: say like we're not there, you know every day, but
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: again you have to you have to tap your head
• 4:24
  Speaker 2: off to Como, right, you know, first time in was
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: I saw this first time in forty years that they
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: make it to the semifinals of the Copytalia. So it's
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: a big feat for them, right Nick said, potentially the
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: Cinderella story of this series Corpetalia.
• 4:37
  Speaker 5: It could be.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: We don't know. They will be facing you know, obviously
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: a strong opponent in Inte right on on that right
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: side of the bracket. So it won't get any easier obviously,
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: but there's a chance there's a pathway for this Como
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: team under Czech Fabrigas, who again we've said time and
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: time again on the show, you know, has really has
• 4:59
  Speaker 2: really proven some good things. And you know they sometimes
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: they even they even rather you know, play beautiful football
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: rather than you know, sometimes the three points it seems.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: But you know, they got the job down. They were
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: able to grind it out. I didn't catch all of
• 5:14
  Speaker 2: all of it yesterday, but you know, just just a grit,
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: just a determination to uh, you know, to take it
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: all the way and uh to the penalties and uh
• 5:23
  Speaker 2: you know coming up Cutch.
• 5:24
  Speaker 5: You know, the the goalie but was a Boutez.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: There's he's you.
• 5:29
  Speaker 5: Know, sneakily having a pretty good campaign as well.
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: And again you know, the the young players that that
• 5:35
  Speaker 2: Como have. It's it's I wouldn't say it's a it's
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: a sub I don't think we're What I'm trying to
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: say is I don't think it's we're shocked at this
• 5:44
  Speaker 2: point that Como are doing the things that they're doing.
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: You know, maybe you talk to us, you know, two
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: years ago and we were kind of like not sure,
• 5:53
  Speaker 2: except for maybe Johnny. He kind of had a little
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: bit of the inside scoop there. But you know, you
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: have to you have to give credit to to Como.
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I gotta say, like I said, forty years since they
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: made the semifinals of the Coptalia. It's it's a big
• 6:05
  Speaker 2: feat for a club by that. So yeah, for me,
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: nothing good but good things to say for Como. For
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: NAP we side just to bounce off to what Johnny
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: was saying, it's it's definitely disappointing. I think Nick said
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: it right. You know, there there chance that's some silverware
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: and you know, came up came up short. You know,
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: not to say that they would have went all the
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: way and won it, but you know, you give yourself
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: a chance if you if you pass this this round.
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: So I don't know if it's counted the injuries, you know,
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the players kind of just fading out a bit.
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: Listen, there are injuries that on this team, and you know,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: players not even poying up to the quality that we
• 6:45
  Speaker 2: know they can play up to as well. So but
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: to point that, I mean again, I don't know how
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: much in length maybe I spoke about this last week.
• 6:53
  Speaker 5: I didn't I didn't catch catch at all.
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: But you know, for all the injuries and all the
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: negative around Nap, we to kind of play the devil's
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: advocate or the bright spot of all this is. You know,
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: you find and and you you bring up a guy
• 7:06
  Speaker 2: like Vegata, right and he's having a hell of a
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: moment right now. So I think that's one thing that
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: you know, uh napifans can hopefully look forward to him
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: progressing in this in this side.
• 7:19
  Speaker 5: You know, obviously he is Neapolitan, so.
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: It's uh, it's it's a big thing for him and
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: he's he's doing you know very well, getting debuts, getting
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: goals in all three competitions, right Sadiya, Champions League, cop Italia.
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: So it's a shame. And I saw a video I
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: think I sent you guys in our in our in
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: our chat there it's a shame. It was a naplifan
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: kind of getting pissed that it's a shame that you know,
• 7:43
  Speaker 2: now he has to have all these injuries for a
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: twenty three year old homegrown player to.
• 7:48
  Speaker 5: Kind of get the spot white.
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: So I guess it's just the nature of Setia and
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: Italy as a whole in the terms of culture. But listen,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: it's it's now Setia or bus for a finapo. I
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: know it's it's a it's a bit of a long shot,
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: but it's it's the only thing that they can hold
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: on to right now and hopefully tough four is is where.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: They're going to be.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah. And then the other game today in Copetalia, another
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: draw that ended in penalties for to one in penalties,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: this time for latso U Bologna be going to this
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: game having lost four straight six out of eight in
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: the city in twenty twenty six. This is it felt
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: like it was an opportunity for them to just salvage
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: something from the season, and they fail to do so.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: I know, when you get to penalties, it's kind of
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: a crap shoot. But again with them, it's like now
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: on the coffin of I wouldn't say it's a disappointing season,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: but compared to where they were last year or or
• 8:43
  Speaker 1: even two years ago, you know, qualified for Champions League
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: in one year and then win the Cope Italia and
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: then now they're kind of just there, back to let's
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: say ping Bologna, let's put it that way, tant in
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: the league. I know they're still in there in the
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: in the Europa League, but it's disappointing. I know it's
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: a couple of struggles. I don't know how many injuries
• 9:02
  Speaker 1: they've had, but I feel like it felt like they
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: dropped an opportunity to turn it around. But for Lazo too,
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: they they've had a weird season. I know they've kind
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: of picked it up lately, you know, with the draw
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: this past weekend away at Juve and now they have
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: an opportunity against Atalanta in the Colpetalia. These are two
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: teams that they they faced off in twenty nineteen in
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: the final. If I remember correctly, Latso won that one.
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: Atalanta still looking for that silverware in Italy. Obviously they
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: won the Europa League, right, but it seems like that
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: these are two teams Atalanta and Lato that are hungry
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: for a little bit of silverware right now and to
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: to just kind of salvage something. And you know, neither
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: is going to make top four, and so that's gonna
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: be an interesting matchup in the other semi final. I
• 9:47
  Speaker 1: know Inter Cuomo in uh in the other on the
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: other side. I don't know if you guys obviously enterest
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the favorite here, but at this point in the season
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: with them, you know, yes, they have a comfortable lead
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: in the Scudetta race, but if Milan beats Como next
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: week in that rescheduled match, it's it's only gonna be
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: a five point difference, right, Well.
• 10:09
  Speaker 5: They played Piece of this on Friday too.
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Who yeah, yeah, because Milan does have a game in
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: hand at this point. Yeah, Piece on Friday, and then
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: they play against the week after, So they win those
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: games or five points behind, it's yeah, okay, it's comfortable
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: lead lead. Interstill the favorite, but you know they might
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: be focusing more on Champions League and and Ciity had
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: a certain point. So for me, I think the colpatally
• 10:38
  Speaker 1: is still wide open. Like I said, for me, interstill
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the favorite. But honestly, who whoever wins between Inter and CMO,
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: I think will win the cop Italia because if if
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: Como could beat an Inter, they could beat any but
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: anybody at that point, right, so this is a real
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: opportunity for them to bring home silverware. I don't know
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: if you guys feel the same or if you guys
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: have any other favorites between these four teams remaining, I.
• 11:05
  Speaker 5: Mean favorites, I don't know.
• 11:07
  Speaker 2: I mean it's uh, you know last year's winner Cabo
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: and again knocked out uh and quarters Is. It was
• 11:14
  Speaker 2: was a big thing obviously. You know, credit to Waco today.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I mean they same way with Como yesterday they did
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: the same and you know it was one nil. Castro
• 11:24
  Speaker 2: gets on the board and then you know, Noslen comes
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: in as a sub and really an instant impact and
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: and and puts that game at one to one, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: then I gooes straight to penalties after after full time.
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: So uh, you know, credit to credit to them for
• 11:37
  Speaker 2: even getting passed.
• 11:40
  Speaker 5: On.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: That's on the west side. Of the bracket. But again, favorites,
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Obviously, on paper, everyone's going to say
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: in there, and that's that's fair. Obviously they're the best team.
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: But I think if just to play you know, a different,
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: different tune, I mean, I think Atalanta can can can
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: maybe do something. You know, they've they've been i think,
• 12:01
  Speaker 2: playing pretty pretty well recently, if I'm not mistaken. Again,
• 12:05
  Speaker 2: it's been a bit out of tune with some of
• 12:07
  Speaker 2: the Setia matches. But from what my memory seems to remember,
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: they've been they've been okay. So yeah, I listen, I think, uh,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: this is probably Atalanta's chance. And listen, you're gonna have
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to go through the good teams to get to where
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: you want to go. And if it's gonna be an
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: Atalanta inter final, you have to wait it out all
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: on the line. I mean, it's there's there's there's no
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: other way to look at it. Again, credit to Watso
• 12:35
  Speaker 2: to get to this point, credit to Como to get
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: to this point.
• 12:38
  Speaker 5: But if I had to.
• 12:40
  Speaker 2: Pick a final, I would probably pick you know, inter
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: and and Atalanta and you know made the better uh
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: black and blue team win, I guess, but.
• 12:51
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: Skamaka seems to be plain like we know he can,
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: but he doesn't usually, so it's a bit of a
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: frustrating thing with him. But I think, you know, he
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: gets going. I think that the addition of bringing it
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: Aspaldori back to Italy and bringing him back with a partner,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: partner that he that he did well with, you know,
• 13:10
  Speaker 2: in the past, and uh it's a sololo right that
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: Asadi's comaca you know, partnership was was pretty lethal back then,
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: and I think accomating him back into Italy's uh back
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: to Italy it was was huge because the stint that
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: the electical clearly didn't go the way people might have
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: wanted it to happen. So I find that a big plus.
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: And you know, listen, Karnes ski Is is.
• 13:34
  Speaker 5: A hell of a keeper.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: He's he's been playing lights out, not only this, not
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: only just now, but like just overall, and you know,
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: the last couple of years kind of Seki has slowly
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: but surely become a you know, a prominent goalie.
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: And again we've.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: Always said it in Italy, it's a it's a shame
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: that we have such a plethora of pretty good quality keepers.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: It's unfortunate that, you know, fun and Don Aruma kind
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: of you know, put these guys on the bench for
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: their entire careers in then Ashley and all that. But listen,
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: I think Connes he's a hell of a keeper and
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: he can he can really save you know, atalantin matches.
• 14:12
  Speaker 5: So you know, just to shake what.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: Nick said, shake the part a bit, I'll say, Atalanta
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: is probably uh has a good has a good chance
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: to finally pick up some some silverware in Italy.
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: Be careful what you wish for, because men's hockey in
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Canada the Olympics, we went from wa to burderer to
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: a long ago to carry price and now we have
• 14:33
  Speaker 1: Jordan Bennington. So one could have said fifteen years ago,
• 14:36
  Speaker 1: oh it's a shame how many good goalies Canada has.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Now look where we are. So I don't want to
• 14:41
  Speaker 1: know Jordan Bennington in nets for Italy in twenty years
• 14:44
  Speaker 1: from now.
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, maybe Jordano Bitonio, but not not
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: Jordan Bennington.
• 14:52
  Speaker 5: I don't know, Johnny, you any any.
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: Thoughts, uh Cobo for the Dally There you go.
• 14:59
  Speaker 5: There you go, my predictions.
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: I need to have my predictions go.
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, I din't predict Como to win to
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: copy Dalia, but I did predict them last year to
• 15:06
  Speaker 3: do well and they did.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: And I did protict them to finish top eight this
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: year and they're on their way. So you know, if
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: they can win to copy Dali, that'd be pretty great.
• 15:16
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: I think it would be fun.
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: You know, I like it when like a team like
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: Bologna wins, a team like Como wins, you know, like
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: a team, you know, I like to see that because
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: for them, the Copytalian means so much more. And I'm
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: not insulting the copy tally itself, but I mean like
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: it's like it acts like a stepping stone to help
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: your team, you know, take those next steps into becoming
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: even more competitive. And in my personal opinion, a more
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: competitive city is a more interesting city, which is a
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: more marketable type of city that you know, can like
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: really help open the doors for the league. So personally speaking,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: I'm all for it.
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: I want to win.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: I think I think Bologna did exactly what exactly that
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: last year by winning, right, I think they they what
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: you just said is basically what Bologna did last season.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: And you know, more eyes, you know, Italiano's there, you know,
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: it's it's a bit of a funner team, So definitely agree,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: change the story, changed the history a bit, and maybe
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Como goes all the way.
• 16:15
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I mean, I know, well we'll do our
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: normal you know, cover each team, but I did want
• 16:22
  Speaker 1: to actually say about Atalanta. I think they they haven't
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: lost in uh the city, they haven't lost it all. Sorry,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: they haven't lost in Italy all year. They lost in
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: the Champions League the last two games, but in the
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: city at since the start of the year, five wins,
• 16:42
  Speaker 1: two draws, and then they obviously picked up the win
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: in the Copalia versus. So they have been playing better.
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: They have been slowly climbing up the standings. They had
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: obviously a rough start to the season, but ever since
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: Palladino's come in, he's kind of changed strings around. Yeah, right,
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: and even you know, even for you, we've seen that, right,
• 17:01
  Speaker 1: I know, it's been a long time since, you know,
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: we've talked to Adrie, but pretty much ever since Swleti's
• 17:07
  Speaker 1: come in, throughout the holidays, throughout December January, he's turning
• 17:11
  Speaker 1: the team around. They've lost twice with him, but it's
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: been disappointed losing that Copetalia. The way they lost was disappointing.
• 17:19
  Speaker 1: It reminded me of the twenty nineteen lost to Atlanta
• 17:22
  Speaker 1: because it was the same thing, three nothing away at Bergomo,
• 17:25
  Speaker 1: and so, you know, obviously Atalanta is a good team.
• 17:30
  Speaker 1: You know, heading into the game, I didn't think, okay,
• 17:32
  Speaker 1: this is gonna be a walkover, but I did expect
• 17:36
  Speaker 1: to see something a bit more competitive. Felt like maybe
• 17:38
  Speaker 1: they had their mindset already on either the Champions League
• 17:42
  Speaker 1: or even the game against a Latcho on the weekend.
• 17:45
  Speaker 1: But then what's disappointing? They lose that game three nothing,
• 17:48
  Speaker 1: you know, kind of resting some players. I don't think
• 17:50
  Speaker 1: the others started that game. And then they go out
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: in tay Lazio and that was the game.
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: Sorry, after death it wasn't even guarantee, right.
• 17:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, down to nothing and then come back to
• 18:01
  Speaker 1: the at the depth. Yeah, okay, you're happy, you score,
• 18:05
  Speaker 1: you tight at the end. It's dramatic this and that.
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: You guys have said it on this podcast before. Why like,
• 18:09
  Speaker 1: why are we celebrating draws at home? We need wins.
• 18:13
  Speaker 1: If it's if it's a dry against inter Yeah, okay,
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: you know what I'll take that, especially in a dramatic
• 18:19
  Speaker 1: style like that. Whatever, I'll take that. No disrespect a Latso,
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: but you've had to win this game. We're still in
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: the top four or fight. This is a team below
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: us in the standings. We need to get as many
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: points as possible, especially at home, especially to a team
• 18:32
  Speaker 1: that they already lost to in October, which was two
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: doors last game. Uh and again, look, you think's lost
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: two games under split d. All things considered, everything's been good.
• 18:43
  Speaker 1: But I'm worried that that that high of when you
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: have a new when you have a new coach, when
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: you have a change, there's kind of an uptick in
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: wins and performance. I'm worried that's already kind of wearing
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: off and kind of at the worst point the season. Look,
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: they already lost cop Ittalia, we have championship coming up,
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: and now there's a derby against Inter, right, so I'm
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: nervous for the week ahead. Obviously, the game against against
• 19:10
  Speaker 1: Inter is gonna be tough. I don't I'm gonna be honest,
• 19:13
  Speaker 1: I don't expect to win, but I think for that game,
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: I'll be happy with the draw, especially with it being
• 19:16
  Speaker 1: at the San Siero. Look in the Champions League, they
• 19:20
  Speaker 1: need they need an advance I spoke about what I
• 19:23
  Speaker 1: spoke about it with Johnny Adri. I said, they need
• 19:26
  Speaker 1: to advance. They haven't advanced in the Champions League. They
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: haven't won a knockout game, a knockout round since twenty nineteen,
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: when Ronaldo put his team on the back, put the
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: team on his back against Athletico. Yeah, so it's time.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: It's knockout stage in the Champions League. After that, their
• 19:43
  Speaker 1: appointments might get tougher round to sixteen. I don't expect
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: them to go to go too far. Just win one round.
• 19:48
  Speaker 1: That's what I want to see now with youve. So yeah,
• 19:51
  Speaker 1: the draw against Lato, I'm gonna say it's disappointing. I'm
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: gonna be honest. I didn't really celebrate the two goal.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: I was like, Okay, good they died it. Yes, that's
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: one point we needed three.
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely two points dropped. I mean it's yeah, I
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: definitely agree. Maybe, like you said, maybe the honeymoon honeymoon
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: phases is wearing out with Spoletti. But again it's hard
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: to say. It's hard to really judge that that quickly.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I mean personally, I didn't think they would do that
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: much better when he got appointed if you would have
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: asked me when you know, he got hired, before he
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: got hired and they made that switch, he kind of
• 20:26
  Speaker 2: surprised me a bit. But again, like you said, maybe
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: that is because of the switch. And usually when you switch,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: you hope for obviously better results.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: But you know, there's there's.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: Usually a run of a form that kind of switches,
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: and you know, players, uh, you know, decided to decide
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: to perform better under the new coach. But again, I
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: think it's it's quick to it's quick to judge on Spalletti,
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: but yeah, it's uh, it's it's.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: I guess it's well, I have to wait and see.
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: Kind of similar to what you were saying with Palladino,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I feel it was the same idea, right, Palldino at
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: Atalanta obviously a good coach, a young coach, young Italian coach,
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: and he uh, he's.
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: Kind of brought in better form to to Atlanta.
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: That again, when they hired you each from the beginning
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: of the season, you know, I said, they probably finishing
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: you on ninth tenth place. So for Palladino, to come
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: in and make a bit of a resurgence with this
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: team and you know, bringing in some additions and whatnot.
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: Obviously huge, So we'll see definitely h definitely interesting weeks
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: to come in.
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: Say yeah, and this is.
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: Kind of, you know, the the part of the season
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: where you know, it's very very crucial, it matters the most,
• 21:38
  Speaker 2: and you know, what are we on match day twenty.
• 21:41
  Speaker 1: Four or five going on to twenty five.
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: Went on to twenty five, Like what is there thirteen
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: thirteen weeks left of the season?
• 21:50
  Speaker 1: Fourteen fourteen the one coming up?
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, so whatever, thirteen fourteen weeks. It's you know,
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: closing in on to the business end of the season.
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: So you know, it's very very crucial for these teams
• 22:04
  Speaker 2: to kind of step up, and now's the time and
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: we'll see if it happens.
• 22:10
  Speaker 1: Did you want I don't know if you guys want
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: to talk about your teams. I know Neon didn't play
• 22:16
  Speaker 1: a weekend I know, yeah game that was one that
• 22:19
  Speaker 1: was in Australia.
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know like that that thing. I was like,
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: I was back and forth. It was like, okay, yeah
• 22:24
  Speaker 2: we're playing, No we're not, Yes, we're playing no, we're not. Yes,
• 22:28
  Speaker 2: it's gonna be in Italy.
• 22:29
  Speaker 5: No it's not. It's gonna be in Perth. No it's not.
• 22:32
  Speaker 5: I mean, I don't know.
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: Like then I thought I was like okay. And then
• 22:35
  Speaker 2: there's the Olympic squad, who knows a little bit of
• 22:39
  Speaker 2: a t a ten day break from their last match,
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: because I think the last game they played was on
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: the third, if I'm not mistaken, against Bologna the three
• 22:47
  Speaker 2: now so and then they play, Uh, they'll play in
• 22:53
  Speaker 2: two days time or probably a day later after when
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: this comes out, so on Friday, so against Pisa. But again,
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: uh interesting, interesting, you know, season as as a whole,
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: obviously for me one somehow, twenty two games unbeaten under Allegri,
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: it's uh, it's it's pretty it's pretty crazy to say that.
• 23:15
  Speaker 2: You know, if he if he gets a positive result
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: against Pisa, it's it's it'll be twenty three, and I
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: think that'll tie from what I saw earlier today, it
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: will tie.
• 23:24
  Speaker 5: I think Fabio Capello.
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: In the ninety three season, if I'm not mistaken, so
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: some quote unquote history to to be made there again,
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: obviously mean fans want wins rather than a bunch of draws,
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: but I think kind of what to bounce off to
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: what Nico would do earlier with you know, the Scudetto race.
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: I mean, I I don't think it's obviously over. Obviously
• 23:51
  Speaker 2: with the game in hand, it looks a little bit
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: more in Inter's favor. But you know, they win the
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: game against Pisa, and if they can win the game
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: again Coomo, that's you know about six points and who
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: knows what Int does on the other end, you know,
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: so you go from maybe five to even maybe two
• 24:07
  Speaker 2: points behind.
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: So uh, it's definitely doable.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: But I think Milan has to uh to obviously take
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: care of their own their own business, as I've said
• 24:16
  Speaker 2: many times throughout the years. So definitely players, you know,
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: injuries too. I mean I think we have every team
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: goes to them. I think, like we said earlier, not
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: we's kind of gone through a lot. I think Mewan
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: has as well. But you know, they've been able to
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: pick up some results here and there. You know, with allegedy,
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: you know, you're you're never really.
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: Out of it.
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know it's you know, we've said we've
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: seen the Corto Muso wins. We've seen you know, three
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: nail wins against you know, Bologna for a last game
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: for the like for an example. You know, we've seen
• 24:48
  Speaker 2: obviously the draws, so we've seen a bit of it
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: all with under allegrity, and it's uh, I think, you know,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Mewan wanted to make some additions in in the winter
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: at when I know I'm kind of a bit past
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: of that time, but you know, it wasn't really able
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: to make much noise in the Mercato to kind of
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: strengthen a bit of squad. We always know it's tough
• 25:10
  Speaker 2: to do that in the winter, so you know we're
• 25:14
  Speaker 2: gonna have to really rely on, you know, these cornerstones
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: of the team. You know, and Olo hasn't been fully healthy,
• 25:21
  Speaker 2: you know, even in the games he has played, so
• 25:23
  Speaker 2: his his poor form, if you will, kind of maybe
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: is attached to that. But again, there's no excuses for
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: this team. I think there are quality players that can
• 25:33
  Speaker 2: can really compete, but they're able to play it all together.
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: It's it's a different story with this Milan. So we'll
• 25:40
  Speaker 2: see again one week at a time. It's managed expectations,
• 25:43
  Speaker 2: like I've always said with with Milan, and yeah, hopefully
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: in there goes all the way to the Copetalia final.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: Hopefully they go all the way to the Champions League final.
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: Wear them out, wear them out to the other mouth,
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: and maybe Milan can make a little bit of a
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: sneak attack to claim first place. But we'll see again,
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: it's uh, you know, fourteen more weeks, like I said earlier,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: and we're gonna need fourteen you know, top performances. It's
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: one game a week. Guy's like for me on it's
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: there's really no excuse. The biggest downfall that we've seen
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: with this team is that you know, they keep on
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: losing points against again no disrespect, but weaker competition in
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: the league, you know, from Cremones to to you know, uh,
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: you know Feudentina at the time, right obviously, Uh, you
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: know piece that I think too, if if I'm not mistaken,
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: but uh, they just need to you know, obviously, get
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: the wins when when, when they're when, when they're needed,
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: and at this point they're all needed. So we'll see,
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: I think, I think, uh, you know, obviously in kun
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: Ku has been playing a bit better obviously, you know,
• 26:54
  Speaker 2: with his name swirling in the news of US winter exit. Uh,
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: probably maybe woke, come up a bit and kind of
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: seems to be scoring a bit. But again, till this day,
• 27:04
  Speaker 2: I'm still not a fan of the way they set
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: up formation wise.
• 27:08
  Speaker 5: I don't think it brings.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: Out the best out of the players on the pitch,
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: especially that attack.
• 27:15
  Speaker 5: You know, when you have either Leao and in cun
• 27:17
  Speaker 5: Ku or Leyao and.
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: POOLI Sage Poolsage in kun Ku when they throw off
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: the chic up there.
• 27:24
  Speaker 5: I mean it just for me, it doesn't really work.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: I think Alega is just sticking to what he thinks
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: is his best. That can kind of get me one
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: enough over the hump, excuse me over the hump again.
• 27:37
  Speaker 5: We'll see.
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: It's uh should be exciting, I think, but I expect
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: to win on Friday and for that makeup Perth Slash
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: or Australia slash Italy makeup game who knows against Como,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: I think that needs to be a win as well,
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: and then we take a week by week.
• 27:57
  Speaker 5: But yeah, just I want them to be competitive.
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: I mean, one fans are screaming for that second star
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: and we can't make inter.
• 28:05
  Speaker 5: Uh you know, get another school.
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: Jenny Roma.
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: It feels like they're kind of like you've up down.
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: I know, last three games, win one, Taiwan lose one.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: It's it's it's inconsistency's phenoma. They're they're trying to find
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: some ground. Uh you know, but.
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: It's just that the top four is so heavy this year.
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: It's it's a really solid top four, but it Alma
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: can can squeeze in.
• 28:36
  Speaker 5: It's well, right, what's the points? I didn't you know.
• 28:39
  Speaker 4: They're tied with there right there, They're just on the
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: outside looking in. Because I think you've has the differential,
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: they have the matchup on them.
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: I believe.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, like they have. I think that
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: you will beat uh roma last.
• 29:00
  Speaker 4: Time they played it. If I can't remember next muted,
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: I can't even hear them.
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I forgot what the first tiebreaker is? It is?
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: It is it? They're head to head.
• 29:11
  Speaker 4: I believe it's their head to head.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they changed and all this.
• 29:14
  Speaker 5: Did they change the rules for that?
• 29:17
  Speaker 1: You have to look it up, look it up. Yeah,
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: Well they still play each other in in March.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: Insert the culture guy's var gift in the days.
• 29:31
  Speaker 1: Uh points tiebreaker for champions and head to head points. Yeah,
• 29:37
  Speaker 1: now there you go.
• 29:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so so that's why.
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: Like, but they can they can make it.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: They just need to find a rhythm and then from
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: there they can figure out what they're gonna.
• 29:48
  Speaker 4: Do next year. It's nice, it's it's the team looks
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: like it's actually finally starting to come together. Gas Benini's
• 29:57
  Speaker 4: trying to find some ground.
• 29:59
  Speaker 5: H I I am not.
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: I am not too nervous about them as I am
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: Fornopoly like Napoli, he bothers.
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: Me more than a Roma. Right now, I feel like
• 30:09
  Speaker 4: Roma is actually in a good position. They've been progressing
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: versus Nopoly, where it's like, okay, like I'm.
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: So disappointing, guys, mind your injuries obviously is the thing,
• 30:16
  Speaker 3: but you know, nonetheless, boys come on, get it together anyways.
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: Yeah Malin Malin is uh wooked pretty decent and obviously right.
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's just like but that's what's been helping them,
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: just having surprises in like random places sometimes you know,
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: like but that's but that's what Gasparini does best. He
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: takes these players that you know, people don't really consider
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: and then and just develops them to be these really
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: good players.
• 30:41
  Speaker 4: And that's what I.
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: Hope he does because Roma the Academy is not that
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: bad of an academy.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: It's it's it's pretty decent.
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: You got some good names that have come up, you know,
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: the guys that I feel like, under a manager like Gasparini,
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: have the opportunity to succeed in city in some way,
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: shape or form.
• 30:56
  Speaker 2: So well, you saw the at the Lanta, right, Danta's
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: youth has been, uh has.
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: Been and it's still paying dividends for them. Yeah, right,
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: so I agree, So yeah, it remains to be seen.
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: But they're progressing well.
• 31:14
  Speaker 1: Even even napotlely struggled there at Genoa. Weren't they down
• 31:17
  Speaker 1: at one point and they had to they had to
• 31:18
  Speaker 1: come back? Yeah, on Friday Saturday, was it?
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, i'd seen the mcfat got to know he.
• 31:28
  Speaker 1: Got no one. Sorry it was Hoyland that got the
• 31:31
  Speaker 1: end of the penalty. Yeah, they were down, Uh they were,
• 31:36
  Speaker 1: they were up a right mount Nazi scored and then
• 31:39
  Speaker 1: Napole scored two, and then Colombo scored and then at
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: the end with Napoli down to ten men.
• 31:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, no, I don't know, it's it's it's but
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: for the Roma topic, I think we kind of even
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: predicted that too, right at the beginning of the season,
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: Like I think if again, we'll probably have to bring
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: it up. I don't know, but I remember I had them,
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: you know, but battling with you here for that fourth spot,
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: you know, four or five kind of like it was
• 32:04
  Speaker 2: similar last year, right guys? It was it was what
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: one point difference last year if I'm a mistaken between
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: you've in Roma or two points whatever it was was
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: very very close. I think the same is going to
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: probably happen this year. It's you know, it's going to
• 32:20
  Speaker 2: be that seesaw effect in my opinion.
• 32:23
  Speaker 5: I don't know. I don't think.
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: I think Roma aren't a good players, but I think
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: it's again a building book they have. They need to
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: get back into top four. That's the biggest thing. Like
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: we haven't seen Roma in tough four, Johnny, for how long?
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Since twenty nineteen?
• 32:40
  Speaker 1: No, it would have been the after that, like they
• 32:45
  Speaker 1: were in the Champions League twenty eighteen to twenty nineteen.
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: But yeah, but they would have finished top four seventeen eighteen.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: Okay, so there you go even worse. So you know,
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: it's been it's been way too long right for for Roma,
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: for Roma fans, right, they didn't want to see their
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: club back in top four.
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: So I think that's the biggest thing for them.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: I think once they're there is a different thing because
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: once you're there, or if you're there, you know, more
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: money comes into play, more you know, reinvent uh reinvesting
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: right into the club. Yeah, and uh, you know you
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: can actually bring some maybe quality names. I mean, the
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: the winter Melcato for them, I've found was a bit
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: odd and if you ask me, besides like the malin
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: uh you know, the striker bringing him in obviously has
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: helped in in spurts since he's kind of arrived.
• 33:32
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I don't know.
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: I think Ian Gasparini was a bit fed up with
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: with the additions that they brought in, right you know,
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Uh that's a Ragoza Guy Ventorino like it was. It
• 33:45
  Speaker 2: was random additions. But hey, we'll see if if there's
• 33:48
  Speaker 2: anybody to make these randoms kind of mesh together and
• 33:51
  Speaker 2: and work. Well, it's it's like like Gasperini, So we'll
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: see if that if that works. But I think, like
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: I said, really it's gonna be that seesaw between between
• 34:00
  Speaker 2: sorry Roma and and uh and you've at four unless
• 34:04
  Speaker 2: you've it makes a bit of a push and and
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: they really because they're what, what's the point you have
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: that there?
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: Forty discissed it forty six?
• 34:12
  Speaker 2: Yeah, even before you say that, who's in third, it's
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: it's not in third, right, Yeah, with how many points?
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: I think I believe forty eight, forty eight and fifty
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that forty nine every three points there.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: So again yeah, like yeah, it's.
• 34:28
  Speaker 5: Going to go down to the wire. It's it's what
• 34:30
  Speaker 5: it's going to be. H It seems to.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: Be like that's currently and I think it'll probably stay
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: that way until the end. So which takes like for
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: an exciting city as season. I think, you know the
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: past two years, you know, with the winner is kind
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: of winning it early, uh in before the end of
• 34:46
  Speaker 2: the season, kind of puts a little bit of a
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: you know, not dampround things, but just it's like, okay,
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: it is what it is. But you know, back was three,
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: forty even four years ago, I think it is it
• 34:56
  Speaker 2: was tight races and until the end. So I expecting
• 35:00
  Speaker 2: more the same coming the end of the season.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, I just realized we've never seen Roma finished
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: in the top four since we started doing this podcast.
• 35:11
  Speaker 5: Oh my god, really they were.
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be eight years and this is our eighth season. Yeah,
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: it's the eighth season.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: So that fucking that that that disgrace against Liverpool in
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: the Champions League was before we started.
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: That was before. Yes, they were in the Champions League.
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: This season we started, they went out to Portal. It's
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: just they didn't finish in the top four that season
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: since the nineteen season.
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: Wow.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So it's crazy.
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: You know the memes like has your team finished in
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: the top four in the past eight seasons? Yes, of
• 35:44
  Speaker 1: course it's been eight years. And then it's like outside
• 35:48
  Speaker 1: of it.
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's crazy, and you know what the times flies, eh,
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: like it's it's crazy. Johnny hasn't been talking about Roma
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: in Champions League since you start.
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: That's I didn't. I didn't realize that crazy.
• 36:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yeah, speaking about Champions League, it is
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: it comes back next week. Uh Uve plays against galatas alright,
• 36:10
  Speaker 1: so first time, I think first time they've played each
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: other since twenty fourteen. Who's it? Atalanta is against Dorman
• 36:19
  Speaker 1: and then Inter is against Bodo slash Glimpt. So I
• 36:22
  Speaker 1: don't know which one it is, Bordo or Glimt, you
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: know both both? Yeah, mid unfair So those are the
• 36:29
  Speaker 1: three Italian teams left it they're in the knockout phase
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: of the Champions League in the Europa League. I mean
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: I have it, I have it pulled up. In the
• 36:38
  Speaker 1: Europa League, Roma gets the bite to the round of
• 36:41
  Speaker 1: sixteen and then Bologna plays a team called Brand So
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: we might have to play a game of guess where
• 36:46
  Speaker 1: this team is from? And then even better, uh, if
• 36:49
  Speaker 1: you're in Tina in their conference league, wish me luck
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: with this name Gigonia, Ballystok.
• 36:58
  Speaker 5: Maybe there.
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: Well, if we want to guess where that team is from,
• 37:01
  Speaker 1: I mean I know I know where it is.
• 37:03
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, okay.
• 37:07
  Speaker 1: A bit obvious. I don't know if you guys have
• 37:10
  Speaker 1: any expectations for these teams. I don't know if you Johnny.
• 37:13
  Speaker 1: I mean, look, we're almost on Bay. So that's a good.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: Like I said before, for you've a I want to
• 37:20
  Speaker 1: see them beat gut Tesla, right, maybe exercise the Demons
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: back from twenty fourteen when they or twenty thirteen when
• 37:25
  Speaker 1: they limited eliminated them in the group stage. I think
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: for inter like they have to be Boda glimpse. I mean,
• 37:33
  Speaker 1: I know this is a team that you've played kind
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: of struggled with you know, I know it's gonna be
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: cold conditions there in Norway. It's gonna be a tough
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: match for sure, But the game at the Sansigo inter
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: just has to score as many goals as possible on them.
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: I don't think there's gonna be any struggle. Atalanta Dormant.
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: I think that's an exciting matchup. I don't know too
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: much about Dormant, don't you know. Obviously it's not the
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Dormant of ten years ago when they were in the
• 37:55
  Speaker 1: Champions League final. With the way Atalanta is playing, it's
• 37:59
  Speaker 1: definitely whinable, let's just put it that way. Uh you know, yeah,
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: there's not there's not much to say, just because I
• 38:08
  Speaker 1: don't follow the German leg. I don't know what type
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: of team Doorman is. But this is not uh yeah,
• 38:13
  Speaker 1: it's not. I think I think it's an even game
• 38:15
  Speaker 1: and it's gonna be tough to predict. You know, Europa League,
• 38:18
  Speaker 1: Conference League. You want to see the talent teams go through,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: but you never know, we don't know anything about Brand.
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: You guys want to guess where it's come off brand?
• 38:26
  Speaker 5: Uh all Brand, I don't know.
• 38:28
  Speaker 2: Uh I was gonna say Norway too, but I don't think.
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, is it? Yeah?
• 38:36
  Speaker 5: Okay bro? Or two for two tonight way, let's go look.
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: At this guy shooting from the hip getting.
• 38:42
  Speaker 5: Two for two, two for two?
• 38:43
  Speaker 1: Shoot or shoot?
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 38:46
  Speaker 1: They did finish at the in the last position in
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: the tables, in the last qualifying position. So there's that.
• 38:54
  Speaker 1: And then the Polish team, let's see where they finish
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: in the in the table in the in the conference league.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: They finish right in the middle nine points, Fiorantina nine points,
• 39:05
  Speaker 1: so it could be even. But who knows. We don't
• 39:11
  Speaker 1: know anything about that team.
• 39:12
  Speaker 2: With these Wi Fi Possiward teams, it's never it's never
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: a guarante. It's never a guarantee, right guys. But now
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: I'll say, I guess I'll go first. But you know,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: for me, all all the time, teams have to have
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: to advance. I think it's doable for all of them.
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: You can say what you want, whatever, but I think
• 39:29
  Speaker 2: all of them should advance, I least this round. After that,
• 39:32
  Speaker 2: you know, we'll we'll we'll talk, we'll see. But I
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: think every team has a chance to go through. Obviously,
• 39:38
  Speaker 2: I agree with Nick. Probably the toughest one is you know,
• 39:42
  Speaker 2: on paper, is is the Atalanta one against Dormant because
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: I think Dormant is a is a quality team. Again,
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: I don't follow the Bundesliga as well, but you know,
• 39:54
  Speaker 2: Dormant always seems to make uh you know, some some noise,
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: so I think they still have I see there the
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: big striker there, I think, if I'm not mistaken, if
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: from what I remember, he's he's he's quality. So they definitely,
• 40:10
  Speaker 2: they definitely can do do well. But the way Atlanta
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: is performing and playing currently, I think you're gonna have
• 40:16
  Speaker 2: to ride that form wave and.
• 40:18
  Speaker 5: And uh and go on.
• 40:19
  Speaker 2: The other one that I would say is probably a
• 40:21
  Speaker 2: close second to being tough, is gonna be for Bologna
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: mainly again I don't know the team brand, uh you know,
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: the all brand Cereal.
• 40:30
  Speaker 1: I don't.
• 40:31
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: I don't know what they do or their their their
• 40:36
  Speaker 2: their quality or lack of the quality. But I think,
• 40:41
  Speaker 2: and our friend Nick Deani said in the in the
• 40:44
  Speaker 2: chat today, but just a bit of an off season
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: right for for Bologna and not the season that to
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: kind of back up what they did last year. And
• 40:53
  Speaker 2: I think opposite to Atlanta, kind of riding that form wave.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: I think uh Bonia might have. The struggle that they
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: might have is that that they're not really informed you know,
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: their players, you know, or Selini's not up to his level.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: You know that they've had some uh some some changes there.
• 41:10
  Speaker 5: Too, and and whatnot.
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: And but again for me, no matter all those excuses
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: or whatnot, I think it's doable for all the teams.
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: So I expect, I expect all of them to advance.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Will they I don't know. Obviously A weird one too
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: is going to be Fiordentina. Where they are in the
• 41:29
  Speaker 2: in the city at tables still a mystery to me.
• 41:31
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's for the guys here, but
• 41:33
  Speaker 2: for me, it's still a mystery out there so far
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: down the table. But listen in in in uh you
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: know European competitions, they've been somewhat waking up and have
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: gotten this far. So again we uh we expect and
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: want them to go as far as possible. So I'll
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: stick with that. All all the Italian teams advance. It
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: might not be pretty, but I think all of them
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: have have a fighting chance to do so.
• 41:58
  Speaker 4: And I can't disagree with you a g I think
• 42:00
  Speaker 4: like that's what we want to see.
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: You want to see the strength of the league, and
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: you know, it is a competitive league despite and Fidentina
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: the most needs something like that, especially with the struggles
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: they've been having in the regular season. This is gonna
• 42:16
  Speaker 3: be definitely something for them to like really find the
• 42:20
  Speaker 3: silver lining and a disastrous season for them. So I
• 42:26
  Speaker 3: really do hope that, you know, we get to see
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: some distance from these teams.
• 42:31
  Speaker 4: I think we can. Realistically, I think we can. It's
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: just you know, you never know, it's soccer.
• 42:38
  Speaker 1: It's just it's.
• 42:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, especially in Europe. I mean, it's it's tough.
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: And I think for Fidentina another point, and again I
• 42:44
  Speaker 2: wasn't on the having been on to kind of say it,
• 42:46
  Speaker 2: but just even do it for Comiso, right obviously that
• 42:50
  Speaker 2: enough Camiso. It's a it's a you know, Fidentina can't
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: catch a break with these these unfortunate losses in terms
• 42:58
  Speaker 2: of you know, if it be ownership, if it be presidents,
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: if it be players, if it be you know, people
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: within the organization, it's just a it's a sad thing.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: And listen, you know, salvage your season by just doing
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: it for him I mean, it's it's as simple as that.
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: You know, he's loved him, loved him or hated him.
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: You know, he did a lot of good in my
• 43:16
  Speaker 2: opinion for Fidentina.
• 43:18
  Speaker 5: So you know, go out in style, I think.
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: And and you know, listen, you have nothing to lose.
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: I mean, you know you have to. You have to
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: go at your banks against the wall.
• 43:28
  Speaker 1: You have to do it.
• 43:29
  Speaker 2: And if you can do it for, comeis so if
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: you could do it for you know, Joe Barron, you know,
• 43:32
  Speaker 2: do it for these these these important fingers of your
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: club that you lost over these years and very very
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: painfully and sad, but you know, turn the page and
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: and and do it for them. You know, it's it's
• 43:45
  Speaker 2: it's a must. And again I think they can do it.
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: And again I think they will survive the drop in
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: in Siia. We'll see how that ends up shaping up.
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: But to start off in Europe here they have to
• 43:58
  Speaker 2: beat the the Polish team. I'm not even gonna you know,
• 44:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not even gonna pronounce it, try to pronounce the
• 44:05
  Speaker 2: club because Nick has it on the ticker here and
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: I lost it now. So I just let's hope for
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: a win for a Feudentina and all the Italian teams.
• 44:13
  Speaker 1: Uh, guys, one last thing, one last fun topic I
• 44:16
  Speaker 1: want to bring up.
• 44:18
  Speaker 5: Uh.
• 44:19
  Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys saw it that man United fan
• 44:21
  Speaker 1: who pledged over twenty twenty four that wouldn't cut his
• 44:26
  Speaker 1: hair until Manu wins five games in a row. I
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: wanted to ask you, guys, if we had to do
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: that challenge, how long do you think who? First of all,
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: who would who whose team would take the longest to
• 44:38
  Speaker 1: win five games in a row, and whose hair would
• 44:42
  Speaker 1: get the ugliest. We're probably not getting to the level
• 44:45
  Speaker 1: of that. That fenders Steven Elett.
• 44:47
  Speaker 4: I think his name is.
• 44:48
  Speaker 1: Like no, no fancy rand, But I think your hair
• 44:53
  Speaker 1: would probably be the wackiest because look at me and Janey.
• 44:55
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: Sure, I guess we're gonna get like the old very David,
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: but like the long ass I mean have like like
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: like it'll be like an angel halo around like the whole.
• 45:09
  Speaker 4: Brother yea, all the way around.
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: It's crazy though, they were so close right they they
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: brought it. He brought the four games, United brought the
• 45:18
  Speaker 2: four games that they were they were at that fifth
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: and final game.
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: That people really are Again, I haven't really thought.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: You see it on social media all the time, like
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: he's this guy's been doing some some crazy commitment with
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: this this whole project and and and for the content
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: and all that, So shout out to him United strand
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: on on on socials is just incredible. But yeah, man,
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: if the one one draw just killed the mood. I
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: saw a bit of clips. It was just crazy. And listen,
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: you know, kudos to him to I heard you know
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: there he's donating the hair to to to a foundation
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: or whatever for for charity or whatnot. So you know
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: you're doing some good with all the comedic uh you know,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: growing out the hair and all that. But who would
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: take the longest?
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: Fuck? Man? I don't know.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I like these Corto Muso. Might not just be
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: it might not be enough. You might get like five
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: draws in a row. Maybe maybe you want will do
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: it first.
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: I don't know. But five wins in a row.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna put it out there. None of our teams,
• 46:19
  Speaker 1: none of our four teams have won five games in
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: a row this season, in all Cops, even even Milan.
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: Like you said, there's a couple of draws here and there.
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, they're twenty two one beaten. But yeah, five
• 46:28
  Speaker 5: five wins in a row. No, yeah, it hasn't hasn't
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: been hasn't been done, But I don't know.
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: I would probably say who would take the longest to
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: do it, Johnny said, Whoton Roma.
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: I don't think wins five in a row, Napleague. It
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: definitely went five in a row.
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: Actually, Roma is the one to do it most recently
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: for real. Yeah, uh, they all they kind of did
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: it at the same time as you've Last season they
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: went Roman went undefeated between February ninth and wins sorry
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: undefeated wins at least in the city between February ninth
• 47:05
  Speaker 1: and March twenty ninth, because as sorry, alwins, alwens that
• 47:13
  Speaker 1: was in the city. They did lose one game in
• 47:20
  Speaker 1: the Europa League in the on March thirteenth, but it's
• 47:24
  Speaker 1: still I think it's still enough to qualify. Yeah, they
• 47:28
  Speaker 1: still had at one point five wins in a row
• 47:31
  Speaker 1: in city and Europa League. That was last season uve
• 47:34
  Speaker 1: a February to March of last season.
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: As well as well.
• 47:42
  Speaker 1: Sorry they might not, they might not. I think there
• 47:44
  Speaker 1: was a Champions League loss in here that broke it up.
• 47:47
  Speaker 1: So I might have to go further back to find Uve,
• 47:51
  Speaker 1: but Milan last did it in March of twenty twenty four,
• 47:57
  Speaker 1: and Monopoly last season obviously to winning season, they had
• 48:01
  Speaker 1: a great season in December. They also went about seven
• 48:06
  Speaker 1: or eight games in a row just wins. So, uh,
• 48:11
  Speaker 1: it takes longer than you think.
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: Yo, it sounds so easy, right, five five straight wins,
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Like it seems like okay, like they can go on
• 48:17
  Speaker 2: a bit of a run and they'll they'll just rock
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: them all in.
• 48:19
  Speaker 5: But you throw a draw in there, you throw a.
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: Stupid loss against whoever you know, cremon in there and
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: or whoever in Europe, and you know you have to restart.
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I probably wouldn't see me while taking the
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: longest to do it, to be honest, But yeah, man,
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: it sounds easier than I guess it's easier said than none. Yeah,
• 48:39
  Speaker 2: evidence to what United is going through and uh and
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: trying to get five wins in a.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Row, yeah, I think honestly, I think you've would probably
• 48:47
  Speaker 1: take the longest just because how inconsistent they've been, Like
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: even looking at last season they had more than five
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: wins in a row and city, Yeah, but there was
• 48:53
  Speaker 1: one champions League loss in between, and then you you know,
• 48:57
  Speaker 1: you can't count that, you know, I.
• 48:58
  Speaker 5: Think, yeah, I think for me on it would be
• 49:02
  Speaker 5: the draws in between.
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you know, that would be the It's not necessarily
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: maybe the losses.
• 49:08
  Speaker 5: It's more just you.
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: Know, you throw a draw in there and there goes
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: to streak, right, so you have to restart.
• 49:12
  Speaker 5: But yeah, the inconsistency to for you, I probably agree.
• 49:17
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so I had to go back the twenty three
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: twenty four seasons, so more than two years ago. They
• 49:22
  Speaker 1: won five games in a row, one uninterrupted. They weren't
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: playing in the UH in Europe that season, so I
• 49:29
  Speaker 1: guess you could say easier to do. But it was
• 49:31
  Speaker 1: wins against Frozen, None, Roma, cellar Anyitana, swollow you in
• 49:35
  Speaker 1: the city.
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: Wow, wow, crazy competition.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, hey, but hey those ones are usually the ones
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: I kind of get you.
• 49:43
  Speaker 1: So yeah, guys, I think they'll do it for.
• 49:49
  Speaker 5: Oh wait, one last thing.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you got did you guys say
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: last week, I don't know, in seeing about to Piscottogo,
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: Oh we No, we.
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: Didn't talk about that.
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: I mean we did talk about it.
• 49:57
  Speaker 1: Did you talk about it last week?
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: Oh?
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean yes, two weeks ago. That's why I
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: already thine.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Okay, sorry, anyways, I wanted to bring it up, you know,
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: he he uh, you know five thousand I saw that
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: that the Zone Italia posted five thousand days later. If
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: that's true, I don't know, that's what they five thousand
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: days later and he makes his his long awaited return
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: to Pascada.
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: So just a quick little story there.
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a it's a good it's obviously a
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: good story, uh for Insignia.
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: Obviously a player that uh, you know, we've.
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: Always kind of enjoyed, uh you know, if it said
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: the Italian national team his time in MLS, but that
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: didn't go up to what we thought it could have been.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: And he tries to rescue Pescada from going down to
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: city a chie because they're at the well I think
• 50:45
  Speaker 2: that at the bottom of the city of b right now.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: So we'll see if it can be done. Just a
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: great story, you know. Obviously, I Ferrati having some steak
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: in in the club, obviously with Pascata and uh it's
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: a shame that I guess the mobile went to Paris
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: have there and he could have went to uh kind
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: of came and joined his uh his brother in uh
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: uh in Piscata, but had just a cool little story there,
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: and the guy spoke about it last week.
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: I just wanted to share that again this week.
• 51:12
  Speaker 2: Five thousand days later.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: According to the Zone Italia pretty accurated. Five thousand days
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: ago was June fourth, twenty twelve, so it would have
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: been a five thousand and a couple of days. Yeah,
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: but yeah, they're at they're at the bottom of the city.
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: B so yeah, so they she has to rescue put
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: the Superman cape on.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: He needs about twenty Yeah.
• 51:32
  Speaker 2: He had a healthy right back then. I think he
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: was eighteen goals. I think he scored that that year
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: that campaign, so different times obviously, but listen, let's hope.
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: Uh you know, Lorenzo does does what he knows best
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: and uh saves Piscotta. You guys, listen, it's it's a
• 51:48
