The Attacking Third | Recap Philadelphia Union vs Columbus Crew & NY Red Bulls

[Music] good morning everyone welcome back to the attacking third and I'm of course with my rightand man Steve manes what's up Steve what's going on brother how we feeling feeling great you know uh Wednesday we we went through a little bit of a rough patch you know but however last night you know this team found itself back in the wind column you know it only took not what only four minutes to get on the scoreboard with Miguel UA um you know you and I and there's a bunch of us from the Press Box uh that that talked about you know U kind of being the sneaky good player of last night's game and uh he proved this all right because he got on the scoreboard then he came with the assist with Ty bbo and now with both players seven goals each seven goals each Steve I mean these two uh were doing some damage last night and they were continuing to bring the pressure I mean this could have this game could have fell out of hand early if they really were you know and I'll credit the Red Bull defense for playing really really good uh but I mean this could have been like a a six nothing win I mean you had the offense looking good in the first half Andre Blake playing well the defense playing well and the crossbar uh played a major X Factor in last night's game why the Red Bull had four shots and four of them Ruckus shet off the cross bars but you know Steve first of all what's your take from last night game boy do we have the Red Bulls number it feels so good because they're only 90 minutes up the road to be able what 14th straight time um to be able to beat them and it it you need to have moments and matches like this where you can get your confidence back for whatever sort of playoff run they're going to be able to have and after Wednesday it was like okay pack it up playoffs are probably Out Of Reach and then they go out and it it's the way they won it was a allaround team performance um you know Andre Blake gets another clean sheet the defense overall played well Danley stepping up in place of Jose Martinez's absence um and and and then like you said UA he seems to be really finding himself since karan's left and as well as Ty baribo he's getting his opportunity to you know find himself and he is like you you know you threw out the stats there they both have seven goals now in MLS play so you know they're making it easy to forget players like coranza who you know obviously you're gonna miss but the goals are there they just need the W's now you bring up something very interesting because I I was gonna put this in a tweet but unfortunately I can't spell so um I I was gonna put this in a just gonna put this in a tweet you know you brought about coranza however you look at the body of work the Tai Bas on this just this summer alone seven goals in leagues cup seven goals in MLS play I mean stacked up 14 goals this guy has been a playmaker you know he was here he was supposed to be here to fulfill the shoes of Konza he's outgrown them he's outgrown and like you said you know you know cronza is now in the back window and you know again tread to Jim curtain with all the moving Parts they've had you know the last two weeks you know guys getting transferred out of here you know go other parts of the world you you lost low you lost Martinez you lost some moving parts and however this team just stayed levelheaded this team played well and then you mentioned about the Red Bulls the Red Bulls collectively in the last five years have lost 14 games to the you know cons you know consistently to the Phil Union theyve lost 14 games think about that they haven't won they haven't celebrated a w against the union since September 22nd 2019 that is crazy that's crazy I mean and I get it and I'm pretty sure the Red Bull fans out there who are listening to the program are going to tell you that yeah listen well we didn't have forsberg out there they forced uh Lewis uh Lewis Morgan to play as a forward yeah yeah yeah w w w w w we don't need to hear that anymore but listen the union came to play they you know they shoot up at your doorstep where the red bues who were up guess right we're undefeated we're undefeated had seven W's at home um and then the Philip Union came there and knocked them out and you know it only took them 14 minutes to put up two goals so again this Union team is starting to rock and roll unfortunately though Steve we haven't gained ground in the standings we didn't and Charlotte I was hoping they would do us a favor uh by picking up a w but of course they laid an egg yesterday against Atlanta so now uh like I said we're kind of in this you know want to play lead frog we're wishing that one fall apart it sucks that this team was was off to a horrible horrible start of get it we understand that Andre Blake was missing for a period of time uh we were begging for a third string golender to come here and make some magic happen I mean uh we but you know look at the turnaround this team has been at I mean thankfully KN you know we're we are in a playoff haunt I mean like you and I said middle summer we were looking at this team just be botom feeders there was no hope for this team we wen't we were starting to lose interest in this team uh it start to sound like a brok a record come here week in week out talking about the same issues day in day out and no this this team has turning around and for the better so again this is you build confidence and now you know again you get back into wicom you respond it well and then like I said in two weeks and we're going to touch on a little later on this program um you get Coen to maai and then you get my Miami uh which is not going to be an easy task but to build confidence here to go into a break get rested up for Miami is a good feeling yeah I always love going into a bye with a win and a win like this you know I I mentioned it earlier you know at all levels it felt like everyone even the subs you know you talk about Jim curtain and his timely subs and I love the fact that he's giving the new guy where in previous seasons and even earlier this season you know prime example Ty baribo it obviously he's learning from his mistakes of not playing these guys um adenan is getting he's he has started previously um he got in his first match with the union danley's now gotten back-to-back starts this week and he he's gone the full distance in both and he's giving guys opportunities to be able to make a name for themselves trust them to gain his trust for future matches where you know Messi might be back for that match you know I kept hearing all last night from the uh from the announcer that you know he wants to play in that match and if he's going to be there then it's going to be a whole different uh you know animal down there if he's not there you know I like the way that this team has played on the road they have more points and they have more wins on the road this season they do at home and how how weird and like backwards is that of a stat for this Union team that what were they known for for be you know everyone was scared to come into Subaru Park and play there to where this season it's been the opposite and they've been able to go out and win on the road so I'm hoping that maybe this little stretch of uh three games on the road you get a bue week right now in between to be able to rest up and you know go in and finish the season with three home games and two uh two two buy games two games away or two games away so it's it gives you hope right for a playoff run oh no look who it is oh yeah I know angry Anthony is up out of his bed I hope it's the right side of the bed this time not the wrong he's usually wake up on the wrong side of uh bed I hope it's not I hope his bed's not wet overall that guy he's a Freak no I'm kidding that's my guy so uh but no you bring up some you know again this is the first of three rad games for this team which is like you said it's it's weird because history with this franchise they're known like you said beating you up at home but I don't know with the history going along with it they feel pressurized to play well at home but now like I guess they're they're I the team bonding and all that stuff comes into play where they they play well in the road I just hope they don't get sidetracked being down south beat you know Sal you know that's one of the spots you can easily get sidetracked and forget about the game you can be thinking about other things oh man it can get you life it'll get you yeah yeah I mean it could definitely have you hurt you and well make you feel really good uh but anyway here goes um here goes anger Anthony want a comment he goes Union is a weird because Union should play better at home yeah that's what we were talking about uh this is a better better you know like I said historically wise this is a better home team but uh for some reason they're they're playing better on the road um and they're getting things done as of late so that's good and listen they go down to Miami after Miami they gotta fly up you know go back to New York City and get ready for NY you know n nycfc uh for that so but however like I said now what like you and I just talked about you're kind of we're kind of in the mixture of we got to watch what Atlanta does you gota watch what Toronto does we're gonna be scoreboarding a lot you know I know we you know our man JD Walker and Rec group chat said yesterday hey no scoreboard warning but you know why my left eye is on the game my right eye is on that scoreboard because I do have concerns and all that stuff because listen uh I get it the eighth and Ninth seed or playing tournament you know Realms you know two out of Threes but if you could just sneak in there get into the dance this team could be the most dangerous team heading in and and and that's what I I think I've said it in previous shows you know where it's you don't want to play a team from a City like Philadelphia in the playoffs when they're coming in on a hot streak you know and and let's say they can get you know a play you know in the first round if they go and they do you know they have to do that play in um uh 89 match you know if they can get the eight seed that's GNA be a home match and then the first round is a home in a home you know home in away so you're gonna be able to at least get another one last home match for the rest of the playoffs so you never know and then like I just said you they they they've been well they've been better on the road than they have at home so if you can get a few games at home to build some momentum against lower tier teams like who you're you know you can beat you know you can beat to then maybe hopefully you know you have something to play for it seems like they're they they're playing with grit they're playing with you know a purpose like they want to play for something and prove you know they have to hear all this crap from the fan base and the suppor groups and you know the the town hall that they had you know all those things so that's got to be in the back of their head too and you to go back to Wednesday's game against the crew it's it it's not like they played bad they had the opportun oh no oh he's doing he's doing well angry like he's he's played I think he's adjusted curtain has adjusted well to the circumstances and I don't think there's many other coaches out there that would have been able to handle this season in his cards with all the international call-ups all the you know injuries playing without the best goalkeeper in the league for how like for how long of the the season I don't think I think he's probably earned himself immunity in uh in Philadelphia as long as he wants to stay here he's gonna be the coach you know what and you're right that's that's what you know like I said a lot of people want to be you know you and I been down there in the press conference in The Press Room we've been a lot of people the minute this team you know goes gets through a Sidetrack goes through a raw patch um Jim curtain's the first thing gets attacked but he never gets enough rose pedals to to for you know like you said you know uh guys getting shipped out here um know turning the season around uh fight you know again the front office I mean everyone wants that flashy name of course when the Messi end of the world show up in Miami everybody wants that flashy name but you know it's you know where's the Tai bbo of the world right came out of nowhere um you know no one was expecting this season for from him um the the kid they brought him from U St Louis again you know brought has a great deal of speed bringing him off the bench you make that quick tag with him and svin you can uh move they're stretching the field they're tiring out defenses you have a lot to work with so I get it like you you can't hold you know the the there if you want to blame some of the blame game of the season on gym you can but you mean you got to get consider what this season was worth in the whole yeah I mean team didn't have their starting goer you you know look at the four you know you know you look at hockey right if you don't have a star golender you're as good as nothing you don't have a Star Quarterback you're not a star you know or an NBA superstar you know I mean it's or anything anything you know an important position you're you're pretty much you might as well throw up the White Flag it's very rare um again I know a lot of people you know will always go back to not change sports but always go back to that 2017 you know 2018 you know Eagle season you know Eagles winning the Super Bowl with Nick F so everyone expects for all these teams to be like that um so let's get into some of the comments no Anthony angry Anthony of course Ain something that's outrageous and crazy but I do like it uh then you need a farther coach and hire Pat I don't know you know I listen you want to talk about dummy down the team if you make that move this team will dummy it down uh Dave Arnold checking into the show what's up buddy say good morning fellas my man Jo Sol what's up dog he says uh morning guys Good morning Joe and of course uh Angry Anthony go yeah I agree but this team could be a lot better yeah it could be um I think they're headed there unfortunately I the expectations for me now is if they make the playoffs like wow after this season especially the way it started you know in Champions Cup when you lose six nothing it kind of set the tone for for what this season was going to be like right you can some somehow sneak into the playoffs with the record that they have with the draws and the amount of losses that they've had you know it's not the goal it's not the end goal ever but I don't know maybe I'm being a little too positive when doing the show in the morning now but you know now so it's like you know I don't know I think you make the playoff and whatever happens happens as long as things in the off season happen I think they're they're they're on the right track for for the future they they are and like you said it you know that's I I love you know guys getting their opportunity to play elsewhere to but you in the same token I I i' rather that stuff like all the leagues player all that stuff you know these guys getting out and getting shipped out because you're taken away from the ml season and so again a lot of these teams have to do that I wish it was like after the season then again this is like in all sports the MLS season what it starts in February now it ends in December so there's not that much of a window where you could take a break yeah um you know but I mean again I'm just thrilled I guess you and I are really thrilled with yesterday win just because the way that they responded from Wednesday I mean you got shut out at home at home so that usually that leaves a bad taste in your mouth and way to go Revenge to her so you know what this ain't gonna happen again and you responded well they responded to the message that was sent in the locker room whether it was Jim curtain whether that was Andre Blake and such but like you said take this season for what it was I mean you you gave up a a three nothing loss to Chicago six six seven weeks ago and now here you are you know you're in a a race to for a playoff spot so um Angry Anthony says the team needs an an edge and aggressive listen they they are playing with a swag they are getting aggressive uh again o was stepping up Yer right it was you know again what do he wasn't he was back on a mil cart last year now he's got seven goals you have you know Ty bbo just came a diamond in a rough you know was getting very much little playing time last year now he's consistently in the starting lineup he's finding the back in the net he's stepped up for you know hen coranza uh Dan Gaza we all know what he can do um again you got now you got Playmakers as you know and again we look for the flashy names but it's not about the flashing names to me anymore about the right the pieces that fit and the two guys that they picked up uh you get the Quinn svin and that kid Andre from Andrea from uh St Louis you got Playmakers out and you can do some things so let's take a quick commercial break we'll be right back guys check out one of our great sponsors here um right here that Philly sports we're going to kick it off with um Philly sports oh no Cherry injury law if you get hurt at work in a motor vehicle accident personal injury or

even like the the bottom from from below us from from 11 down to 15 I mean the the final seven from seed seven 89 it's going to be crazy this the end of the season so they're going to need a lot of help that's the part that I think pisses a lot of people off is the help they need yeah exactly so let's so I got you tell me where you feel good about Atlanta so he they do have a coule you know a couple you know hard ones coming up Nashville would come up on next Saturday uh that's probably a W for them then they have Miami on the 18th they that could be actually a w from them because they're gonna be an adult yep but however they got New York Red Bulls then they finish out you know September with us they got face Montreal um on October 2nd then they go to face the Red Bulls again at home and then they finish out Orlando so that could be tough for them that's a tough little schedule yeah uh then you look at then you look at Toronto they got Austin uh that could be tough I think Austin's middle of the pack on the west Western Conference you have Columbus it's GNA be tough they got Colorado tough um they got Vancouver Vancouver is not a pushover Chicago that's a layup but actually they got a tough schedule heading they got finished out with New York and then they got Miami but we're hoping M because what did uh uh LS Suarez say and uh he said that uh he said that you know they don't want to you know take any time off they don't want to take a a a you know just because they marked it a playoff spot they don't want it you know uh they want to continue to play at a high level they don't want to rest players they want he wants to keep on rolling with this so so they I guess they don't you know get you know become a slouch so again um so Toronto looks like they got the hardest of the three schedules again you know our schedules right here for you know everyone checking in this show it's right at the bottom of your screen uh again Miami is going to be tough nyfc is goingon to be tough uh you have DC on the 22nd that's actually that's a layup um atanta that's G to be a dog fight then you got Columbus Crew on the 5th and then Cincinnati so again that's a tough schedule you know within himself so um got go out and win that seeing where listening to the other uh uh Club schedules where that's who we're going to be competing with for the playoff spot at this you you just got to go out and win bare minimum at least against teams like Miami um and uh nycfc the crew those guys who are at the top of the leaderboard it's not going to make a difference with them if you go get a draw go get you gotta at least go get a point the games that you should win New England Atlanta Orlando if you go win back to back against Atlanta and Orlando two teams ahead of you imagine what that does to you and and that's what I mean with you they can do it they've done it all season they did it in League Cup against Cincinnati so it's you know that that's the thing that pisses people off is everyone knows they can go out and perform and have matches like last night but they also know that they can roll over and have matches like against the crew so you never know what you're going to get out of them no and and you're right you don't know what you're going to get uh it's like a box of chocolates so you know but you know but you and again look at the schedule here there are some you know couple games twice in a week you do have uh you know the 22nd 28 obviously that's a so you again you got a couple ones in in the week but you know like I said they could just handle to their own and really they could control their own destiny they really do um here goes one from anger Anthony I think anger anger Anthony says you can go with this cupcake now Angry Anthony must woke up on the right side of the bed he must be eating breakfast you know just t-shirt on that's it no underwear he's going to f him in and walk around in the kitchen but uh but uh yeah listen I'm not that confident I want to be that confident I do I'm getting more confident with Andre Blake U I feel better that he's back and the the level he's been playing at right now is is Untouchable um man I I I didn't get a chance to pull the stat but if you C there's a way I want to know how many games since he's been back how many shutouts I think what this might be his fourth or fifth off top I'll get it yeah I think I the top he came back he came back against Toronto early the match against New England would Philly won uh 5-1 so since he's been back so they've uh 5-1 to New England so he only gave up one goal in his return Nashville shut out Charlotte shut out and leagues up so two shutouts um shut out Montreal in the round of 32 so there's three uh shut out and then last night so four so four shutouts since Andre Blake's been back but there's been multiple matches where he's only given up one goal so that's the difference between you you know if one goal gets by Andre Blake you know okay that was that must have been a hell of a shot right compared to when zemla and Rick were giving up goals it was like oh man like how many times did you see him just whiff you you never felt confident once one got by him you knew the rest of them were gonna get by him so it's it's a difference of confidence level for everyone involved when Andre Blake is in net and you're right look look Sim only had one shut out I thought that was going to be like a turn point in his career against again that was New England so I mean look I got nine kids on my street beat no so but him too we talked him up like he was like number two we were so wrong on that yes yes uh you know guyan he's he's got like a 65 66 frame I start that in the locker rooms I mean the dude the cat the kid's tall and I thought you gon you know Elevate that and then there's no because he didn't he didn't have that command of the defense no um the defense is actually really really solid so again and like Angry anthy says uh he goes as long as a defense could you know plays good they can win you know listen last night wasn't the defense I mean some you you know some of the defense was pretty decent but again the cross bars in that second half played a major role I mean things were getting hit the top of you know the crossbars the set you know off the sides I mean it was crazy yesterday and that's what was frustrating on Wednesday because Ty and Quinn both had chances and early in the first half and they both went off the post and once th this is kind of like to add to the conversation we had before the commercial other other other squads have someone like Diego Rossi or Hernandez coming off the bench once they came in in the second half for the crew it was a wrap because there was no yeah you brought in UA and you brought in um Sullivan as our big Subs compared to Rosy and Hernandez it's just you're G to be able to beat the Red Bulls like that but you're not going to be able to beat the big boys like Cincinnati Columbus um Miami when even on their bench because it was K's bench that outshined our bench that night and so that's what pisses people off too is yeah Tyber REO is playing great now but if he gets hurt who do you have to replace him and and that's what makes me upset too is there you got to at least go out and sign some depth as well to help keep these guys motivated when someone has to go down yeah yeah and you're right and so it's hold on and course anger anth he's got he's ringing the text board here he go pad's not a union fan he's a Dall what's with everybody thinking I'm not a Philadelphia sports fan we got you know these two clowns in here they think I'm a Niners fan um you know I got you know anger anthy things on I'm a uh you know a Seattle Sanders fan you know uh everyone are you from the West Coast because I'm from you know Mayfair and and a a great man who runs it the the Don the mayor of Mayfair you know we just keep things honest and and automatically we get put put uh I mean I'm a little bit more of a flip-flop but no that's a different story but uh anyway so but yeah look um however great stuff but let me ask you you know Steve you were there Wednesday after the loss What were what was the the what was Jim curtain's message what was the body of work in the locker room when we were interviewing the players what was that old like and could you feel that last night was going to be a Difference Maker so the first thing I noticed Wednesday was the complete opposite energy level that they had from when they played the crew in leagues Cup in leagues cup they sat back and they wanted to they were almost they knew they were kind of outmatched on paper and so they did their typical let's play Let's play defense and hope our counter attack and the Deep ball let's lob it up on the Counterattack let's hope that we can go out and get a goal that way and the crew brought it straight to them to where Wednesday night it was the complete opposite and they had their chances and the first thing Jim said in in his opening statement was we wanted to get at them early we wanted to bring the energy to them and they did it they just what what does he always say you know we were just unlucky tonight so yeah and they were it hit the post and maybe it was uh uh uh the Universe last night with how many times the uh the Reed bulles hit the post maybe it was the universe kind of like aligning itself saying like hey sorry for Wednesday you know whatever but they had their chances but when you bring in guys and curtain said it too when when when they bring in guys like Rossy and Hernandez we knew that they were going to bring them in we wanted to get on top of them early and they couldn't but he was happy with what Sullivan brought to the table on Wednesday he was everywhere he was creating chances um he's always speaking highly of bbo AWA made himself available in the locker room afterwards and he was down but he he wasn't down in the sense of how they how they were early in the season he was you know no we just got to go out there and we just got to perform and once the ball goes in the back of the net things will start changing and it was kind of fitting that he was the guy who kind of set the tone last night for them in getting the first goal and it was kind of weird too because him and Tai their goals were almost in The Identical same spot of on the field where where they went uh where they attacked the goalie so it was the bottom left-and corner of the goal so did they see something in the scouting report that you know the Rebel's goalie you know that's a weak spot for him so whatever it was yeah they went to the drawing board after what they saw from the crew he liked it enough that he went back out there and trusted his guys and they responded exactly what they wanted to do Wednesday they got unlucky they hit the post a few times they were able to go out last night and they they put in the back of the net instead of hitting the post and then and there were like last night's goals were you know distant I mean look at the window I mean between two Defenders I mean o came through with a goal um you know Ty bbo a little bit of distance shot made a nice goal so um guys listen we're going to continue the conversation of course guys you sold the pH off Union

phillysports.com and don't miss the next great Philly sports moment all right guys well listen we we we have to talk about Miami now because I mean as good as I feel I I do have this on the calendar as a loss so but I don't know after last night I'm feeling pretty good listen Miami we all know I mean for even the Casual fans who who just know soccer they all know Messi they know that this guy is the LeBron James of a soccer uh whatever he's the name he's the face of MLS he's the he's the uh some people call consider him the goat um this is a a well stacked team and however the philadelph union like last night went up against a undefeated homand New York Rebel team and they shouted that Steve can they go in the South Beach and and Rock Messier and those guys down there I guess it's going to determine if he's going to play I think when you have someone of his stature and just his reputation alone a lot of these guys grew up that's his Idol and have faced them multiple times already but there's some new faces on this squad now you got a young kid like Danley Sam hasn't gone up against um uh messy in this atmosphere against Miami versus Philly sort of atmosphere so I I hope that doesn't play a factor into anything I hope that bedoya and gazdag and the guys who have been through this a few times are able to help get those guys head right um the one thing that worries me about this game is some again the union with all these international players that they have who represent their country some of them got a call up so it's a perfect time for a byee so that they're able to do that but I just hope that with the travel and how many minutes that they get with their country you know Blakes got called up to Jamaica Gad got called up to uh Hungary Baro to Israel Cav to USA so a lot of these guys are getting opportunity which good for them but again that's this's biggest problem is these Lee for a good amount of time and then they got minutes under them for their country how well and how Gass are they going to be for back to MLS play so those kind of things that I'm looking at that on the outside I think they're capable of beating the I think they're capable of being anybody in this league it's just what first who you g to be able to field and then two what type of performance are you going to get out of this club um If U can come out and bbo if he's available if they can come out and get ahead of them early you know you said it in the group chat how what are they going to be how do they win they got to get on top of them early they gotta set the tone early throughout the season when the union have set the tone early they are able to go out there and then play their style of soccer when they can't go out there and play their style of soccer and they have to adjust to what circumstances now they're in if they're down one nothing or they're in a defensive uh battle so it really going to depend on who's available and and what type of Team they're going to be able to field when they do play on the 14th yeah um and like you said you know these guys key players too are gonna be getting poffs and like I think these guys if anything I'm gonna again try to stay positive or they're GNA pick up stuff from what they see from over there and bring it back over to here and and you know maybe they can bring something that Miami might not seen before and hit him with it also like the last time I you know the first time was it last year uh when it was leagues cup when uh Messi came through I mean I think like half the team got Starstruck I mean I don't think the pys of the world are gonna get you know it's going to be an honor for most of these guys just they be on the same field as him if he's playing yeah but I don't think that these guys you know with the bers of this world say Hey listen guys we just got to stay Kitty don't get don't get Star Struck don't be sidetracked um because you know like you said like you said that man is you know when you think so you know obviously you know football you think Tom Brady or if you think basketball you think LeBron you know the names of the world you think hockey think oetkin or Crosby whatever um or well now you know Conor you know Conor David kind took over that but um but anyway like when you think you know he's that name he's the name of the you know he's the face of franchise of the you know of MLS so I just hope this team doesn't get Star Struck and again this team if they can strike if they draw First Blood uh they'll let it continue to leak and I hate to sound Rambo is but uh yeah let let them do what they got to do you know um that's what I you know that's what I saw yesterday if they get on first you know just continue on the attack yeah they get in their heads you know don't let you know don't let you know South Beach come you know distraction the city alone uh don't let you know Messi become a distraction don't let any of them just you know you and I think with Jim CERN it's going to let them you know look stay your game we've been through some of you guys been through this Rodeo before just continue doing your thing um and I think

right let's go around the horn as far as MLS play uh tonight is uh I usually like the the Sunday night you know anything suay night you know sports related but tonight's not a great of a game you got LA Galaxy who shocked a lot of people who's taken the Western Conference by storms in one seat we'll be facing St Louis tonight St Louis is a bottom basement team uh that's barely surviving so not much interest for me but last night Steve let's get into some of the scores around here uh one score you know that really caught me the Champions Columbus Crew again playing at a high level you know handle things at home against nycfc winning for the two um Steve you got a score that caught your eye um that one definitely was but the Orlando Nashville scored three to nothing Nashville isn't even given like again I hate that the union are in the situation that they need help from other people and other teams but like man I was I was really hoping thinking that Nashville maybe but you know to go back to Columbus they haven't skipped a beat from all the games that they have played they go They're the reigning Champs they go win League's cup and then they come right back to MLS play and continue they're just ah it's frustrating how well oiled of machine they are and how much depth they have that I'm jealous yeah and what surprised by Nashville heading to you know not even a playoff team just I don't know with with a player like mugar like I don't get it I don't get it yeah um a few guys too yeah um yeah terrible here goes one two the upset of the night DC heading in Toronto Ste winning three to one over there uh DC just you know shocking the world pulling the upside of the night um thoughts on that Steve much needed for us much needed for the union to have that help um and they were all bench they were all bench players who came in for DC to score those three goals so good for them it sucks because now they're right below the union so that game on the seconds going to be huge for the standings wise um because of how close they are now uh in the standings to the union yeah uh and another uh surprising one Houston steel a w to a victory at in La uh two nothing win themselves over lafc your Sounders lost one nothing yeah appar apparently my S L too que she yesterday um yeah and of course Charlotte poops the bed doesn't do us any favors nope so um but yeah that that's some of the you know big takeaways we we've got around the board yesterday uh Steve again not much going on today uh as far as MLS plays for as the Philadelphia Union but however we will you know the team will be back in two weeks most what's your big key takeaway heading into this break um Danley I absolutely love his style of play he's not trying to come in and replace Martinez because you're not going to replace Martinez but he's coming in he's confident curtain is giving him the minutes he's gotten back-to-back starts um the way he gets fast breaks going with his passes and they're articulate passes um he's catching the defenders in bad positions to set up uwa and Tai he's buil now he's got two games of chemistry with the club go on a byee get some you know more chemistry in training to be able to come out and and have hopefully a good performance against Miami but I I'm a fan of his I watched him all last game all uh Wednesday night so I'm I'm really excited about him moving forward oh absolutely quick comments real fast angry says Pat drinks too much coffee and too much bowls hey hey easy now he forgot the red there oops I know well he's red he's R in other places uh he goes angry go Pat's upset yes yes yes I couldn't get out of bed this morning because I couldn't stop thinking about the Seattle Sanders uh losing last night but uh yeah my takeaway is listen good win like you said head into the break regroup refresh and stay focused for Jim come up with an a plan if your guys are not ready have plan B in content for Miami and have something up your sleeve that they haven't seen before so uh Steve for you and I we are out of here guys thank you everyone who's checked into the show we appreciate all the love and support guys if you're this is
