Seattle Sounders vs Tigris: Match Overview
00:00:22
Speaker
Welcome
00:00:25
Speaker
scorch you today why the scoch you today it's gonna be a
00:00:45
Speaker
To the Sounder at Heart Studio in the ID, we are here following the Seattle Sounders leg two of the CONCACAF Champions Cup quarterfinals against Tigris. And as I was saying while muted, shout out and rest in peace to CONCACAF Champions Cup 2026. The Sounders dreams of continental glory come to an end.
00:01:11
Speaker
by 3-3 aggregate draw, but they lose on the away goals tiebreaker. They actually beat Tigris at Lumen Field in leg two, but alas, they couldn't find the goal at the very end.
00:01:23
Speaker
That could have sent them through. And CCC so is now over. We're going to be coping. We're going to be rationalizing. We're going to be hanging out and talking about what we just saw. I i think we might not take calls. It might be just too late.
00:01:39
Speaker
And we already have had a tech disaster today. So ah it might be ah it might be a short one tonight. We might not take calls. We'll see what the vibes are. But we do have to talk.
Sounders' Performance & Set-piece Challenges
00:01:52
Speaker
about this game and Seattle CCC dreams coming to an end. And Noah, where do you want to start? I mean, let's start with this. This team was down to zero on aggregate going into this match on leg one. So that created our after leg one. So that created a pretty a tall task, a tall order. This was always going to be difficult.
00:02:13
Speaker
Uh, they were going to need a hell of a performance and they were going need to score a bunch of goals. And, uh, honestly, I think what has me feeling not as busted up about this as I thought I might be is that, uh, I think, i think they go out of this tournament with dignity relatively intact.
00:02:30
Speaker
Uh, you get the three, you get the three goals that you need. And the one thing that you couldn't do is concede another set piece goal. And I think that's, that's the most frustrating thing to me is that ah you gave up two goals in this series offset pieces, which is something that this team did all the time last year. It actually cost them in the playoffs.
00:02:52
Speaker
last year. And in this series, it costs them again, absolutely bammed on after you go up one zero to, ah to put yourself at that point, you, all you need is the second one. And at two zero, that is a, that has you at penalties. And this series was lost.
00:03:11
Speaker
I think in leg one, when you couldn't get the road goal and when you gave up a set piece goal and then on that set piece goal tonight. But ah overall, Noah, I'll i'll ah toss it to you, but i would say I'm, I'm decently proud of the team and how they competed and acquitted themselves tonight.
00:03:28
Speaker
Thought this was a good performance. like I thought, I thought there was a lot of positives from the game itself that they can take into the rest of the season, but it is, there's no way around it. It's disappointing because, know,
00:03:41
Speaker
day This series was actually still there to be won tonight and they couldn't get it done. Noah, what do you think?
Officiating Controversies & Fan Behavior
00:03:49
Speaker
You know... I predicted this.
00:03:53
Speaker
I said this was kind of exactly what was going to happen. And yet still, I'm sat here befuddled and frustrated because i you said it was impossible. All right. I'll say it was and it wasn't possible because everything was against us. Ari, you're telling me that I can just lay on the ground for 45 minutes out of the 90 minutes and we're going to get six minutes of stoppage time. Everyone was against us. The world was against us. You have Tigres fans applauding and cheering, singing, walking out of the stadium as they lose three to one and look absolutely terrible. They're going to get destroyed by Nashville. I mean, it was, it was the perfect game in so many ways in the, the, the most terrible game in so many ways. I'm just, I, I, I,
00:04:41
Speaker
It was impossible. And this is exactly what I said what would happen. It didn't matter how many goals the Sounders got. The Tigres were going to get some easy bullshit goal. This is the exact same goal that they conceded in yeah Mexico. Like the exact same goal off the set piece, the same guy, right? And then and then they were just going to troll. They were just going to troll, and they did, and they did that.
00:05:04
Speaker
So I think it's just frustrating because you saw a team that looked... lethal. The Sounders looked lethal. They looked in control of that match. And the only reason that they lost that game, it was not because of their own work. It was because of some of the worst dark arts I've ever seen in my life. Some of the worst officiating, frankly, I've ever seen in my life. ah And I just think, you know what, what the hell I never cared about conca cap. Anyway, this is like, yeah no, it's a, no, no one cares this is this b s tournament no one cares about this. This is a, we're, we're Phillip all the way we're Phillip all the way. It's,
00:05:45
Speaker
See, I guess I disagree with one thing, which is that, you know, you're, I mean, you're right. The dark arts were, were out tonight. There was a lot of conca caffing going on at the same time.
00:05:55
Speaker
If you don't, they did do it to themselves to an extent. If you don't concede both of those set piece goals, but especially this set piece goal tonight, it was then you have a great chance of going through. It's a terrible goal. It was such a terrible goal. And that's why should not be conceding that. No. And that's why that's really why they lost. It wasn't be back chat. it wasn't because of how far behind the eight ball they were, uh, after like one, they ended up getting three goals in this game. But after you go up one zero, which let's talk about that, actually, that first goal, the first goal, I actually was not,
Albert Rusnak's Goal & VAR Decisions
00:06:34
Speaker
I was not seated for that. I got up and I went to the bathroom and the goal was the Bruce snack opener was scored. And they have like the radio broadcast playing so I could hear it. And then, you know, they go, Roosnack scores the goal. Oh, but the flag comes up. It's offside. So I had like one second where I thought that he scored. And then I was like, okay, he's offside. It's chalk. So on my way back to my seat, I stop at the TV monitor in the press box to look at it
00:06:58
Speaker
And i was like, you know, I'll be the judge. I'll be the judge if that goal was was actually offside. And I'm standing there and I'm i'm looking at the TV and they they play it.
00:07:09
Speaker
And I saw it and I went... I mean, I'm pretty sure he's onside. think he actually is onside. And then the next thought that went through my head was like, well, it doesn't matter if he's onside. There's absolutely no way that CONCACAF would give this goal right here. There's no way. There's a 0% chance. That thought didn't even enter my mind that they would actually give Albert Rusnak and the Seattle Sounders that goal. And then lo and behold, VAR to the rescue. the The guy didn't even go over to the monitor that I saw. I think they just, they, this is what they should be doing in a lot of these VR situations. They, you know, they, when he went, he tapped his ear and they said, Hey, I was on side. That's a goal and goal allowed.
00:07:52
Speaker
So I wanted to shout out concaf on that. You know, we give them a hard time about, a lot of things I think deservedly. So, but that was, that was ah the right decision. And I know it's not going to be talked about by Tigris fans, but because they ended up winning the series, but I'm sure they would have crashed out over that call if Seattle had ended up advancing. But like the thing, again, the thing that I
Match Dynamics & Officiating Analysis
00:08:18
Speaker
will say about that play, which I think this, and this is important.
00:08:22
Speaker
This important. You have to consider this in any sort of debate about that call The important thing to understand is that he was literally onside. He was onside. So that's a good goal. And at that point, at that point, you have it 2-1 on aggregate.
00:08:38
Speaker
You have the the crowd buzzing. The fans are going crazy. You can feel the energy in the building. All they need is that one goal. And then the chat the set piece. shot I did it.
00:08:52
Speaker
I saw Tigris fan outside. ka he was chanting, you singing, and i and I had to... to i I beat him up. I beat him up. I won, and I took a prize.
00:09:05
Speaker
We have a Tigris flag, I guess, at the Sounder and Heart Studio now. so I beat him up, sure that'll go and then he just laid on the ground in the middle of the road for like 30... I don't know what's... i think he's still out there, but I did take his flag, so...
00:09:22
Speaker
It's a nice flag. and Should we just put it up? I think so.
00:09:29
Speaker
There we go. Tigris podcast now, I guess. What was i What was I? Okay. oh no I was just talking about the ah
Paul Rothrock's Tactical Influence
00:09:37
Speaker
the opener. how After, okay.
00:09:40
Speaker
Were you surprised that CONCACAF let that opener stand? Because I didn't think there was any way. Uh, yeah, no, I, I didn't think that they would even VAR, but I will say it was awesome because Paul learned from the best of the business. He learned from T grace. He said, what if I just laid on the ground until they reviewed it?
00:09:59
Speaker
And I think, honestly, think they should have done that for other plays as well. Like continue that. Um, I, I don't know. I think it's, uh, it's, it's, it was, it was good shithousery by Paul Rothrock. Yeah. no, I didn't think they were going to let it stand There was no world in which I thought that no, no, I'm still like, as we talk about it now, like pleasantly surprised that, that, that, cause it was the right call. It was the right call. Thank you. Conker calf for getting out what Bruce snack is goal. Albert Rusnak was fantastic tonight. Unfortunately, the brigade who had been cooking the last few games is decidedly not cooking after that. It actually wasn't just the two goals, which I'm sure there'll be some reason why those don't count. But I thought he was dropping dimes everywhere. And after he scored that last goal to make it 3-1, I mean, the thought that went through my head was like,
Listener Engagement & Technical Issues
00:10:55
Speaker
yeah, I just...
00:10:56
Speaker
like this whole thing of how he like is he a designated player or not i just i still i still don't really i have like this um this like tick in my brain where every time he touches the ball i just wince because i don't like i i like i literally see james p in my head he appears in my head james your james went to bed he's like he's like he's like circling around me like All right, all right. there Okay, we're going to take calls. We're going to take calls. right, fine. We'll take calls. Oh, one super chat, and you're like, oh, take calls, take calls. There's been more. Drop some super chats, guys. There's been more.

We're sorry if that's what you came That does mean that we can take the calls earlier, though. so i got plug in the speaker now because you guys want to take the calls and we're going be able to hear them. if we Oh, yeah, that's a good point. oh Get that text set up.

00:12:50
Speaker

Noah's crashing out because of the tech. while we While we wait for them to set up the call audio tech, shout out to everyone who came and hang out hung out for our pregame show at Flat Stick Pub.

That is kind of cool. Oh man. Here's the super chat. Love. Thanks for a shilling for that. Noah, we got, ah we got a few here. I'll go through these as a route to thank you. As always Noah's anti Russ snack agenda debunked is Noah brigade.
00:13:45
Speaker
I didn't think he was brigade. i was, I was a little anti anti Bruce snack. So, so But he proved me wrong. I think actually we low-key were both kind of brigading in 2024 little bit. But then we changed our ways. Hunch Punch, thank you for the $20. Oh, 20 bomb, dude. Hunch Punch. Appreciate you, man. Tap in, dude.
00:14:06

00:14:17
Speaker
Noah's steak too juicy. Oh, we got another one. Oh, yep. There go. Noah, is your steak too juicy? It's so juicy right now. Absolutely juicy. All right. Because I'm with you guys. All right. Should we ah should we try and get Nat in? is this Yeah, let's we're good. We're good. We're ready for Nat. Nat, we are bringing you to the stage.
00:14:32
Speaker
Hello. Oh, wow. That sounds incredible. Thank you. Yeah. See, great tech. Uh, now three, three aggregate drawers, Tigris eliminated on away goals. Three, one at Lumen field, but, uh, the CCC dream is no more. What do you think? How are you feeling?
00:14:48
Speaker
I am happy that we kept it close at halftime. I was like, we're still, I mean, I was feeling a little deflated, but I was like, we are keeping, we, we're gonna score more goals. At least as long as we keep the scoreline close, I will be happy. We could have advanced, but I was still, yeah, we came very close. We could have found that goal that.
00:15:09
Speaker
the Rusnak had two goals and I'm still like, there's that one moment where he just had so much time in front of the ball. Why didn't he shoot that? Yeah, couldn't shoot first time. There were a lot of bodies there. almost played too perfect at his feet. He couldn't believe that it was there and he was just like, I cannot shoot this ball in good conscience.
00:15:32
Speaker
no But still, I think we played... but still i think we played I think we played very well. really hope that, like, mean, if we play how we played today, then we're going to beat St. Louis on the weekend. That is one ray of cope.
00:15:53
Speaker
that i that I had was like, all right, obviously, you know, would have preferred to go to the CCC semis. But, you know, with how Jordan looked and with how the offense looked in general, I was thinking to myself, okay, like this is the team.
00:16:07
Speaker
This is the team that can go win stuff this year. They're not going to be winning at CCC, but they have they have enough as constituted to win other stuff, which is good to like, I would have been, what would have upset me tonight is if they went out there, got thoroughly outplayed, looked like an inferior team. And I ended this series thinking, man, Tigris is just way better than the Seattle Sounders. Do you guys feel like Tigris is way better than the Seattle Sounders? I don't.
00:16:33
Speaker
Not at all, good but they're not way better. Yeah. And like, like we are still like, uh, like uh yes we're not actually in first place of this but like with this like we're still we proved like we are very a very good team right now and like if we hopefully with no slump um with this like i feel like we could still we could make a push uh for the shield uh it's still gonna be really tough with how bad the eastern conference is it's still gonna be always tough to
Jordan Morris' Performance & Future Prospects
00:17:06
Speaker
win the shield um
00:17:08
Speaker
But, like i like, I feel very good about how stuff was looking. I thought Morris made great runs today. like ah I thought he looked good. yeah good you know what i You know what I liked about Jordan's game, too, is ah there was a point in the second half when it was, like...
00:17:27
Speaker
two to one, I think, where he switched to Angry Jordan. You can see it. yeah You can see it in his face and how he's walking. like and And I saw him doing the Angry Jordan walk, and I was like, yes. It's kind of like yes it's like an even more stiff Lego figure. He's just like... yeah really like you can I swear you can see the switch flip. yeah And it flipped, and I hope it stays flipped, because I thought he looked really good. I thought he looked dangerous, like you said, Nat. He was making great runs. And he was... Who's mind pissed him off, and he was doing a good job...
00:17:57
Speaker
Like pressing him early on in the game. Costa Rienzi. um I thought Costa Rienzi did not have a very good game in Mexico. um And I was would have been okay if Alex Modon started at right and then we put Lopez in for this game. But I thought and know after like the first 10 minutes where Rienzi put in two really good balls across um one of the... ah And one of them would have been a tough finish for Morris, but Morris ah couldn't quite get there.
00:18:30
Speaker
um But Cosa Rianzi did a really good job to put in balls there. So i thought he had a so he redeemed himself. Um, for that very happy with Rienzi, uh, uh, I thought Snyder Brunel played really well in the first half. I understood that like we were going to make some change in the first half to bring on more to bring on a forward.
00:18:52
Speaker
Um, but I thought he was good. Hassani Dotson was really good when he came in. Jackson Reagan has Jackson. This was not Jackson Reagan series.
00:19:03
Speaker
uh didn't lead to a goal we he is a mistake today where he had some bad mistakes today which are very rare for him um other teams cleaned it up but uh this was not a good series for for jackson reagan and he's he plays at such a high level like i will give him a pass for that because he's usually better but not a good two games for him and it's unfortunate that like uh yeah his market, like maybe he could have done better on the goal today. And then he, obviously he could have done better, um, on the own goal play and not get out jumped in Mexico. So, I think he'll definitely be frustrated from that, uh, from, from that, but, uh, in, but really, you know, you know, I feel very good about how our team's looking like the, the team showed that we are still a top team in MOS.
Team Comparisons & Defensive Critiques
00:19:59
Speaker
And then, some yeah, when you when you when you're in a two-goal hole like this, it's going to be tough. These series used to be not just for Seattle but for every MLS team. It used to be like a maybe you can win if some luck breaks your way and you hold on and pray and you're able to absorb pressure eat your way. That used to be how MLS teams had to win these series. That series, to me, man, don't know. Maybe some people disagree. I thought that looked like two relatively evenly matched teams. Like, I don't think that either one of those teams was substantially off the level of the other, which made it, you know, it made it a good series to watch. Honestly, I mean, until, until the shenanigans really started tonight and then it devolved a little bit, but I guess that's to be yeah expected in CCC. Nat, can you give us yeah a a last take to wrap it up as we keep pushing through the queue here?
00:20:49
Speaker
Yeah, obviously there should have been more stoppage time um at the end. I agree with that. But that that is CONCACAF. But yeah I will say moving forward, yeah, um I hope Nashville – I hope Nashville – I wish Nashville the best of luck. um I don't want LAFC to – to win the conka the conca the concave champions cup they will just be so toxic if they win um it would be funny if they lose another final that'd be their third final their favorite um that's that would be um we and for yeah that would be iconic i do think to luca will eliminate them but uh i mean my my my podcast i do with uh a nashville fan and an nycfc fan so it would have been fun to have sounders versus nashville In the end, now I'm just rooting for Nashville to beat everyone else. so Love it. Go Nashville.
00:21:43
Speaker
Thanks, nice guys. Have a good night. You too. ah you weren okay you Got you. Yeah. William, if you have your camera, turn her on. That would be great.
00:21:53
Speaker
Otherwise, we're going to take Kenny first just because he has his camera on. i All right. I don't see that. We're just going to take Kenny. All right. Sorry, guys. Camera on goes first.
00:22:05
Speaker
Kenny, give us your absolute flaming hot takes. Also, before we even before we even start here, yeah i knew who was good tonight. Knew who played great.
00:22:17
Speaker
Man, I thought the defense was pretty good for the most part. Yeah. Well, I wanted to start with Kalani. I thought his speed at the right back and his unselfish runs really opened up space in the right flank for Jesus to come feel where he needed to. do i Yeah, no, i was ah I was a fan of Kalani. I was a fan of Alex's play as well. I thought the defense i put it themselves well. Literally one moment the one thing you can't do is lose on a set piece. I thought the performance was like actively, but like, say if this was not in the context of a two leg series and it was just Seattle V Tigris for one game, I know that would have changed like how they played and how it could have played out, but like, exactly. We would have been raving about this performance and like, obviously it gets overshadowed because it doesn't get them through. But after they get that road, after they get that away goal, then they know they, there's a big mountain for us to climb and they just have to weather the storm.
00:23:19
Speaker
as it were, with the hail and everything. How was the weather there, guys? It was raining. It's always dry in the press box. It's dry in the press box. It was raining pretty good. Yeah, the sunshine. I thought that would give us a boost. And, you know, we were firing. were firing, I think, in some ways.
00:23:35
Speaker
ah You know, Resnack must have heard us or something. I said he didn't think he did did. I think he wasn't up for I'll eat my words, man. what a what a I think he quieted that whole thing, for at least for the moment. I'm sure that discourse will resurface. You can't really argue with his game tonight.
00:23:57
Speaker
Look at our lineup in Monterrey. um We had Albert without Jesus. And then where did we go? Houston. And we had Jesus without Albert. And now they're playing together when we look a little bit better. i feel like if we had Pedro out there, maybe it wasn't Paul Rothrock's best game. He had a couple really nice moments.
00:24:18
Speaker
He almost scored again, yeah. Almost scored, and that that would have really... Yeah, that's another... Those two back post chances he had, those are turning point moments in the series as well. If one of those goes in, maybe things are different.
00:24:33
Speaker
Yeah. um I'll tell you what my dad said. If ifs and buts was candies and nuts, we'd all have a Merry Christmas. Yeah, yeah. That's a fair point from your dad. Credit to Tigres. Correa is a hell of a player. is. um Linas is a little shit.
00:24:52
Speaker
What did Miazga say? was that to him? Yeah. yeah To the little son him so bad. Jackson Reagan won. Jackson Reagan won about, I think it was like 10 of 13 duels combined, ground and air.
00:25:07
Speaker
i mean, so he's a he's becoming a towering presence in the back line without Yamar there. I think i he's really got command of the defense now, I think, and it's really it's cool to see. he absolutely I mean, he didn't have a perfect game, but you know he's really a leader on the team now, and you love to see it. Hold on, I'm going to segue you in here. No, we can do that in between people.
00:25:30
Speaker
Okay, well, okay, because this was the next point that I was going to bring up, though, which is I had a shout out that I wanted to give as well that we have not given yet. And I'm goingnna start by ah taking you all back to the playoffs last year when the Seattle Sounders were playing Minnesota United, got shut out in game one.
00:25:50
Speaker
and then lost in PK to the demon Dane St. Clair. And then what did Brian Schmetzer do? He brought on a one Danny Musavsky and the entire series changed and Seattle ended up square. They lost that series too, but they did score seven goals and Moose scored three of them. Tonight, the Seattle Sounders really needed multiple goals. It was one to one at halftime, I believe. And Brian Schmetzer made a change. What did he do? He brought on Danny Musavski. And what happened? He scored a goal like three minutes later.
00:26:21
Speaker
ah So, you know, shout out to Moose for once again, coming through for the team. Well, so so they sub Moose on. Jordan goes out to the right more. I'll,
00:26:32
Speaker
Las Vegas Lights, baby. Las Vegas Lights signed. We got her signed. Kid cop, man. that's It's an incredible don't worry, guys. It's got a Bitcoin logo on it. my God.
00:26:45
Speaker
Maybe we should replace the Tigres flag with this. i You know, to restart the whole Moose discourse, but it's just so like if he scores if he scores every time he plays, which it feels like he does at a certain point, feels like he has to play a lot.
00:27:02
Speaker
I mean, he's getting a lot of looks and ah and he's been scoring in sub appearances. So maybe it's time to give him some starts. I mean, for one thing that I thought is that Jesus at the 10 works better with Osaze and Albert at the 10 works better with Moose and Jordan. ooh that might be Jordan can play with either of them really. be um But his holdup wasn't great tonight. I thought he looked a lot better when he got moved out to the right.
00:27:26
Speaker
um And then what happened was Jesus was more central and Albert was almost playing the eight when Snyder Brunel came off. Who had some nice moments in the first half? Snyder Brunel, $10 million. dollars Yeah, absolutely.
00:27:40
Speaker
start to See, we got a comment in the chat. Like, imagine we had a striker. I like... I know that that's where everyone goes after a result like this, but like the striker scored one of the three goals that you had. The other striker had an assist and looked really dangerous and the offense got three goals. Like kind of day. Where does that, where does that, where does the leap to that takeaway come from based on what actually happened on the field? I don't get it, but I was really looking for some subs too. And then I looked at the bench and it's kind of like,
00:28:11
Speaker
Yeah, who who who who are you bringing on? kate Big Kingston? I don't know, man.
Tactics, Substitutions & Player Impact
00:28:18
Speaker
Yeah. It was Hassani Dodson and Osazi De Rosario on the bench, kind of. um Anyways, I mean, we played really well. I mean, they they gave us a lot.
00:28:29
Speaker
They allowed us a lot, which is why Rusnak was able to play the eight for all half. they kind of seeded the the midfield and allowed allowed us to kind of horseshoe death. But we didn't, I mean, we didn't fall into the trap that that a lot of bunkers play against us. So um <unk> we're really trying to cook up chances and Albert just taking that, taking that crack from outside the box, you know.
00:28:52
Speaker
was pretty nice crack. All right. What do you got to leave us with here, Kenny? We're going to keep it pushing. Is Nuhu our only good player? i don't know what to say. He has been balling. He has been balling. like i Less sounders games, I guess.
00:29:10
Speaker
Less sounders games on grass is what this means. That's how it goes. That's how it goes. All right, Kenny. Thank you so much. We'll see you soon. Appreciate you, Kenny. William, you're looking good. Are you ready to go?
00:29:23
Speaker
All right. Welcome. um Oh, look at you. Oh, you've got the mic. I had to make sure it was all set up. Yeah. Hell yeah. Damn. was at the game. It was... A fun game to go to, but it was also the second game in a row that we lost by one goal because I was at the women's game last night.
00:29:41
Speaker
We were also at that game. We were. How tired are you? That's my question. How cold and how tired are you? Yeah, I had put all of my clothes in the dryer when I got home yesterday and then i was wearing double ponchos.
00:29:56
Speaker
But today wore rain pants and wore a heated vest under the jersey. So that was really nice. He did Vest. Could that be the move? I never even knew this existed. That's tech higher than I'm allowed to use, honestly. It's really nice.
00:30:10
Speaker
Well, what were your takeaways from tonight? Anything you're crashing out about, or are you just kind of I don't want to ever play games on the refs because usually that happens like an NFL game, like the last play or something. they're like can't leave it up to the refs. But when like they give to the yellows to the wrong players in the foul, it just makes no sense. Yeah. What was your take on that? ah The moose colliding with their goalkeeper. It was almost a dog. So right for us. like yeah we stay in the We were sitting my photo at the stadium and I was like, what?
00:30:43
Speaker
Yeah, ay looked at me in the press box and said, they'll never do it. I was like that i said low key That's dogs. whoa Maybe the goalie's two feet back. It's a red card. It's out of the box. He throws him into the goalie's knee.
00:30:54
Speaker
he Okay, for the other Moose got pushed into the goalkeeper. I can already, I see the Tigers fans have already found our chat. but ah Welcome, by the way. Welcome, welcome.
00:31:05
Speaker
I hope you enjoy the show. ala ah you um or no Your player put a pushed Danny Musavski into the goalkeeper. And... He got a yellow card for that. Like, like even here's what I can understand. If Moose runs into the goalkeeper in that play, fair play, yellow card foul. Absolutely. I'm even fine with you giving them the free kick on that situation and just letting it be.
00:31:34
Speaker
A yellow card? for For getting pushed. For getting pushed. Not playing the ball either. Despicable and disgusting. And frankly, what you would expect from cowards like Tigres. You also saw the goalie dive when ah on the first half. Because they played the replay in the stadium. He like covers his face. Nothing hits him.
00:31:55
Speaker
no Yeah, there was also the really good clip of, I think it was Linus, who knew who buried Linus. Here's what I'll say. if we if we crash out about the dark arts and the theatrics on this show, we are giving them what they want. like that is That is what they want. So yeah we can do that. I'm just saying like that is the the rise that they're trying to get out of us. I disagree because here's the thing.
00:32:22
Speaker
Dark arts is one thing when you are grinding out a win or what, like you get only so much dark arts to where it's acceptable.
00:32:34
Speaker
The Sounders, they played some dark arts tonight. Paul Rothrock laying on the ground so that they will VAR the first goal. That was sick. I can go that.
00:32:45
Speaker
T-Grace laying on the ground for more time than was actually played on the clock. Cowardly. Not getting off the field for a sub. You're getting your ass beat by Reed Baker Whiting in the Nashville, the Nashville. What's what's their nickname?
00:32:58
Speaker
The Coyotes. Yeah, the Nashville Coyotes. Yeah, Whatever. While we're on the topic of complaining ah about the ref, my biggest ref complaint from the night is you had you had a situation right before second half stoppage time where their goalkeeper went down or maybe it was in one of their defenders. Everyone in the stadium knows that he's not hurt and that he's wasting time. That's fine. That's what they're going to do. He is down for literally, I was looking at the actual clock for five minutes and there was like at least three or four other pretty lengthy delays on top of that. That should have created one of these double digit stoppage time situations. with got How do you get six minutes? Pause, pause, pause, pause, pause. Because I'm seeing the chat right now. Listen, I'm going give you T-Grace fans what you want right now. I'm addressing you directly. Okay?
00:33:46
Speaker
You're saying excuses, crybabies, all of this. I said the same thing when the Minnesota United loons ruined the game of football.
00:33:56
Speaker
I care about the purity and the beauty and the class and the swagger and the enjoyment of the average fan. I'm sorry. Get your ass off the field if you're injured. What is this? What is this? Some baby sport? You make the game of soccer look like everything that every American football player ah says that it is. Laying on the ground, lounging, lazy, not even working. That goalkeeper laid on the ground and...
00:34:27
Speaker
pulled more fouls than he had to make saves because he couldn't make any saves. T-Grace fans, you suck. You suck, okay? You suck. You're crying in our chat and you're giving us more views and I'm giving it right back to you. And the machismo culture is inconsistent. like That's what I'm saying. Okay, speak on that. Speak on that.
00:34:44
Speaker
Because you'll see the players like be pushing us, dropping us, and like grappling us. And then as soon as like someone is a little bit, they're just on the It's like, that was shoulder to shoulder. you call a foul on us. like That's completely fair. And then it's like yellow on whatever tackle that was in mid midfield the very end.
00:34:59
Speaker
We got the entire Tigris fan base in the chat. All four of you who traveled to Seattle up there waving your four little flags in the corner. You guys are all in our chat. I'm actively rooting for the downfall of your team for the rest of this tournament. I don't have to. I don't have to because I'm sorry. Nashville FC is going to make you look like... Your team is not very good, to be clear. yeah like You did win the series. yeah it's not You're not that good. Okay, but we tied on aggregate. I think we lost in Mexico. it's a tie. It's an aggregate draw. So congratulations. You got, you trolled the road. road you Okay. I'm sorry. and And you know, you, you, you tied the Seattle Sounders. You say we're not impressive. Yeah. If you're, if your league and your team is that far superior as you are contending, shouldn't you have been able to beat the Seattle Sounders by more than the away goals tiebreaker? That's something that you might want to think about because maybe a multi-goal victory would be more illustrative of what, uh,
00:35:52
Speaker
and What you're trying to say here. Which refers to 30 minutes of extra time? in And listen, right before, I'll let you get back to it. I'll let you get back to it. what I'm just going to say, um you know, when's the last time you won CONCACAF Champions Cup? And when's the last time that the Sounders won it? 2020 COVID year?
00:36:11
Speaker
That's a Mickey Mouse ass. That's a Mickey Mouse ass CONCACAF Champions Cup. That's all going to say. So anyway, back to your take. Yeah, William Cook for a while. We took that over our bed. No, no worries. I think that we lost the game in Mexico. We were not physical enough in that game. And I think that we were punished for that.
00:36:27
Speaker
Because you saw the the boys were coached a lot more. They were doing that. We saw. like Reagan like booty bounce one of the guys off of him. Don't know if he saw that he was running towards the box and like walked him out with that.
00:36:39
Speaker
I think that we should have been more physical in Mexico. I would have been okay with De Rosario starting there. I think he could have used his size in the beginning just to kind of wear people out. I don't know. Like it just, it didn't seem to work in Mexico. No for him.
00:36:55
Speaker
I don't I don't really know. I think that like the Mexico leg to me was one of those things where just the bounces don't go your way and something was wrong. Yeah, like they still looked dangerous. They still looked like whatever and then they defended poorly on a set piece and conceded a really bad goal. They they killed them and they did the same thing here in Seattle. So did you watch the presser from yesterday where they said the second set pieces where the Achilles heel of last year and that they were practicing that for this year.
00:37:22
Speaker
uh i have heard brian talk about that multiple times so i watched that today that's to like that's what i was hearing because you see those corners and it's just i understand it's hard to defend the corners but it's hard to watch the replay of standing in the center and then the header goes in one side and no a man and then when he when he hits it and you can just see the
Substitution Impacts & Tactical Changes
00:37:42
Speaker
path of the ball going directly to where he can head it in yes always tough always tough to see well uh any final thoughts here william sorry we did take over your thing i will give you if you do want to shit talk any they don't have they do not have a leagues cup trophy so they really can't talk to us that's all wait shit i actually have some i think knew who got subbed off 80th because they were worried about him getting fouls like getting sent off i think if it got too aggressive but then dodson came in for him but then he wasn't playing left back he was playing like right center back and then they moved earlyola back to left wing
00:38:13
Speaker
He was kind of doing well too. Yeah. was really surprised how well doubled back there. We were a Ferrari doing good out there. That looked kind of, that did kind cook.
00:38:24
Speaker
And then with Jordan and Moose, like we saw Jordan and Moose at the end of last season. and That's what I was getting at. right this was getting down I mean, look, lunch says it was pulling a defender off for a midfielder. It's, I don't really know exactly how it was, but I think it was ah like just getting rolled on on the side.
00:38:41
Speaker
Yeah. But yeah, I think less games to play. Hopefully MLS goes better. Maybe back-to-back leagues cup. Who knows? Yeah. Back-to-back leagues cup. Let's do it. We're onto the next thing. I appreciate you, William. Thank you for calling in and thank you for ah allowing us to have these fans with you. We yeah we needed them. Yeah.
00:38:59
Speaker
All right. Tribe. Tribe. Are you, are you ready? Let's get tribe in here. we got tribe. We got disc golf. We got Caleb. We got hunch. We got a lot to get to. Tribe. We're getting beat up in the chat, kind of like I beat up that Tigres fan outside. Don't you all have your own pod to like celebrate? They can't be talking, though. We fucking beat them 3-1, and in Diego Linas was a bitch all game. I mean...
00:39:24
Speaker
Without Linus' antics, we probably would have won. if you if you if you had won the if you had won the game three one then yes, you could talk a lot of shit.
00:39:35
Speaker
You did lose the game 3-1. Am I am i like on drugs right now? like what are we what are we on What are we bragging on when you got work 3-1? I mean, I don't know. yeah You won the series, I get it. But like it what it's it was not like the greatest performance I've ever seen.
00:39:51
Speaker
Guys, can you can can the Tigres fans drop some super chats in here? you you you know just just Let's get some super chats from the Tigres fans here. Thank you. oh I mean, can we stop with the Albert Russnock hate?
00:40:05
Speaker
Like, that's insane. that The whole time, it's insane. He might have had a bad spell, but he was still performing very well. ah Two goals, right? Incredible goals, might I add. These aren't just like little... tap-in finishes, two bangers, the whole build-up play, one of them was a Kevin DeBruyne-esque ball in into Rothrock, I believe, that that no one saw coming. i mean, we we we have someone so, so good up top in that number 10 position, and we shit on him every single time we lose. Just stop, right? But
00:40:45
Speaker
For this game in particular, the issue was the defending for the corner kick. That was pathetic. That was absolutely pathetic. You had five guys in his vicinity, and you still allowed – he was getting pushed while he got the header, and he still was able to score that. That should never have happened, okay? That should never have happened. That was insane!
00:41:08
Speaker
Five guys around him. I'm losing my shape. This should never have happened. Five guys around him, getting like two hands on the back, not not even an easy header, and you still allow it to go in. um I think the attack was very, very good. I say free fruit snacks to everyone because our attack did very well. Good job, guys, right? um But and we were so, so good.
00:41:33
Speaker
Building from the back. I mean, Jesus Ferreira and Albert Rusnak, the two MVPs of this match, in my opinion, and then finding Jordan on that on that classic winger sort of inside forward position, sort of role worked so, so well, especially when you brought on Danny Musovsky. Oh my God. That that Moose goal was so nice. The whole buildup from Alex to Jordan to Moose. who That was some shit. That was chef's kiss. It was incredible.
00:42:01
Speaker
That was great. Sorry, guys. I just had to finish my taxes there. I just filed my taxes. Not even lying. It's 1150, but I just finished my taxes. That's insane. can i can i Can I be honest with you, Tribe? I think you'll find this kind of funny.
00:42:17
Speaker
I was in the press box doing the Lobbing Scorchers taxes as we were watching this game little bit. So, ah yeah. so i just I just thought, like you know, I don't know. i think I thought people would enjoy that. You know, hashtag tax season. Am I right?
00:42:33
Speaker
We love taxes. We absolutely love taxes. about filing April 15th, 1150 p.m.? Dude, on' how it that's that's the lobbying scorcher as well. Tribe, what else what else you got from this one? are you How do you feel about just CCC being over? are you are bummed to not get get to make another run at it this year? Are you more like, let's go for Phillip?
00:42:54
Speaker
absolutely Well, Phillip is most important. And and honestly, it's probably... In my opinion, CCC is always going to be most important because the club World Cup money is is what it's where it's at you know It helps the club grow and get better. But um when it comes to the achievement in the pride, I think Phillip is most important because, I mean, look at the LA Galaxy. They're just they're just flexing those six rings. By the way, it should be five rings. That was a bullshit 88th minute goal in 2024, by the way. That that was complete bullshit. um But um I think philip we all need Phillip. We love Phillip.
00:43:37
Speaker
i am very, very bummed. It shouldn't have ended this way. But again, we just look on to the playoffs. And for playoffs, I think we're doing pretty good. we We'll have Pedro De La Vega back. We'll have the depth in our center back in more defensive positions. That's going to be very good to have more depth when everyone recovers. uh i mean maybe we'll make a summer signing you never know but uh just i'm just a little bit worried about the attacking depth i'll be honest peter kingston is always good coming off the bench in that in that in that very peculiar role that he can sort of play as a sort he sometimes drops back almost like where joao paulo was uh back when he was playing and then and then he plays from that position then all the way up but
00:44:24
Speaker
I mean, he's such a good player, but we just need a little bit more depth in in the attack.
Roster Depth & Future Signings
00:44:28
Speaker
We got rid of the most ah deep squad Konga Gaffa has ever seen since 2025.
00:44:37
Speaker
i'm so cook i have nothing to add i well coach tribe all right we're gonna let's well let's keep the queue pushing it's getting late but uh tribe appreciate you as always my guy good job on the taxes boys unbelievable from your top class dollar dollar dollar taxes dollar all right we got disc golf 10.99 disc golfer caleb hunch max sawyer all right disc golfer we're bringing you on disc golfer yo 3-3 aggregate draw. did you know this? What?
00:45:09
Speaker
Disc golfers significant other. Yeah, we got we got beef, Noah. four I'm just kidding. No, I'm just kidding. Disc golfers significant other won the jersey. Oh, yeah, you told me that. You told me that. Yeah. yeah so So funny, too, because literally that same week, I bought her a Seahawks jersey as a gift. And then she sent me the – Yeah, dude. Rolling in the jerseys now.
00:45:31
Speaker
And that's what we love to see. We love to recognize our favorites. She's a transplant. So it actually works out really well. So work welcome to Seattle ish area. Uh, enjoy the good sports we've had lately, I guess. Um,
00:45:45
Speaker
Yeah, no, 3-3. I'm not too stressed about it. ah That game was fun. I was more upset after the first one. I'm i'm upset. I'm pretty upset the way went down. um But I'm not going to like lose sleep over it. Hold on. I wrote down a couple of notes so I can just say things really quickly and then yeah keep it rolling. um Yeah, ah first of all, this is my take. This is my agenda.
00:46:09
Speaker
If that game is on our turf, we win that. Oh yeah. that i mean that That's got one that one rock tap in that he could have had on turn that bounces to him the right way. And that's a, that's a dub right there. Oh yeah. Probably the most exciting game all season. In my opinion, lot of players stock up. um I guess here's, here's the main thing I'm curious about and then I'll hop off, but I want to know from you guys, do you want to leave a MX team to win now or another MLS team to win?
00:46:42
Speaker
I want a league. I want to Luke at a win. i want, I want a league. I'm a key seem to win, but not to yours. Yeah. oter I mean, T-Cross isn't going to win. you third i just They're just there. They're fans rating our chat right now is pissing me off. So I'm rooting against them. Yeah, no, I think, I think um it would be a good bit for Reed Baker Whiting to win a second conquer calf champions.
00:47:03
Speaker
I can see that. So I'm, I, I like this Nashville team. I'll root for them. um LAFC is really good. Well, so but the whole like being the only MLS team to win the modern version. We're the first. We're the first. like See, that's kind of how I feel actually. We don't need to be the only. Maybe I'm partial to LAFC. I like this LAFC team. I get it. I know I'm not supposed to, but it's like. dude, I really like Bwonga.
00:47:30
Speaker
I feel like I'm a straight up Bwonga. I mean, I can appreciate watching their team, but I wouldn't say I would ever actively like root for them to win CCC. That seems kind of not what I would do. No, I hear you. But so, you know,
00:47:45
Speaker
i don't I don't mind the Toluca rip. Toluca's a cool team. And I'm sorry, we just we have a Tigris fan who is, he's cut and pasting the same message. So like, if you don't see it the first time, he sends the exact same one. That's fired. You got to type a new message, my guy. Oscar.
00:48:02
Speaker
Like, stop cut and pasting the same message. That's lazy. It's free engagement. um I've been watching that. And honestly, man, that's why I'm not stressing out too much about these Tigris fans in here. I know it's your show, so I get it. But yeah man, I thought they would send better bands after that win. Yeah, no, it's definitely not good. It's not that good.
00:48:18
Speaker
not that good. Yeah, I mean, right now, I think Seattle is, I think they need to, in the summer window, sign a ceiling raiser. Because right now, I don't think Seattle is in the highest echelon of MLS teams.
00:48:32
Speaker
I think they're a very good MLS team. I think using that game to bring in someone who really really raises the ceiling is good. But, ah man, Teechris is going to get wrecked by Nashville next round.
00:48:44
Speaker
which I'm your point. I like Nashville. um here Cool. All right, guys, that's all i got. Have good night. Disc golfer. All right. Can you, can you shout out a Oba, Oba Femi Martins, seven, two, three, eight says he's a huge fan. Shout out to Oba Femi Martin, seven, two, three, eight. um Who do we got next? We got a hunch. Let's get a hunch in here. Then we got max. Then we got swear. Then we're probably going to call it yeah hunch. You're on the stage. Talk to us, man. We need your rationality.
00:49:18
Speaker
I can't hear you hunch hunches hunches muted hunches dead hunch unmute 10 seconds and we're we're moving on nine eight. So he's laying on the ground dude. He's doing the T grace bit. I'm sorry hunch. We're moving on diving ball card simulation. Max you're on you're ready. Let's go. Welcome in Max. How are you? how are you doing?
00:49:41
Speaker
Oh, no, we can't hear Max. Wait.
Defensive Struggles & Improvement Needs
00:49:44
Speaker
Oh, no. Max. Nope. Nope. I see his little thing. Okay. We're going to move. Come back to you. We're going to come back to you. We're going to go Sawyer. All right. Ready? Sawyer. You ready?
00:49:53
Speaker
Sawyer. Sawyer, you ready? okay Sawyer, can we hear you? There we go. We hear Sawyer. Okay. Someone who knows what they're doing with the tech. It's okay. We didn't either. We also started this stream with no audio, which I'm going to cut out. We have no room to talk. Yeah, exactly. Sawyer. Sawyer, what's up? Yeah. How are you doing? Talk to us. don't know. I'm just...
00:50:11
Speaker
I'm a little mad, upset. About? Just like we couldn't finish like watching it, just like basically giving me flashbacks of Minnesota.
00:50:23
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah. It was, that didn't hit me until like right at the end. And I was like, damn, this does feel, what do you guys make of that? Cause it's like, on one hand, a series like that in like this one, it's like, all right, I mean, the performances were decent enough and you scored enough goals to win, but you're just getting bammed on on set pieces. Like, I don't know where are you at with all that.
00:50:48
Speaker
Yeah, I mean, I guess it's just giving me flashbacks like high school right now, like getting set pieces scored on. know what I mean? The high school squad couldn't defend a corner, Swearer? That's tough.
00:51:02
Speaker
it Yeah, we had to run... if The boys at Long Acres are going have to be running. They're going to doing laps tomorrow. thing about the goal tonight was it's like, dude, that is the exact same one that they scored in Mexico. He's just like wide open and he's just like why is like not even defending. Just get in front of him. That's the only way that they actually, they did have a couple of, us get in they have they had a couple of good chances. Fry made a good save.
00:51:25
Speaker
That yeah one save. That one save was a good save. the ah The header, he did kind of just stand like this. He said, oh, He was just like a statue. But it's you know it's not like they were racking up the most XG of all time. like For the most part, i feel I felt like they were relatively at bay in the second leg. First leg, definitely not. But the second leg, like they were at bay enough to not get bammed on and go out like that.
00:51:51
Speaker
Yeah. Yeah, it's a tough one. It definitely... Ari already looked at me when we were walking out and I was like, yeah, this is Minnesota vibes. And yeah, it's... ah But also just like the shithousery just like laying on the ground like...
00:52:08
Speaker
Yeah, that's what they're going to do, though. I'm trying. I have not done a good job in the last 10 to 15 minutes of rising above it, but I'm i'm trying to oh i'll never rise above trying you your cardvata trying to achieve nirvana. Well, any final take, Sawyer?
00:52:22
Speaker
Anything you're feeling? Not really, but i don't know if you guys saw the thing about like some guy posted it about the sounders not leading Obed Vargas play for the national team or whatever. Oh yeah. Yeah. We, yeah, we will talk about that on our podcast. Nico and I talked about it a little bit on the last episode of kickoff at the end. i don't know if you caught that, but we talked about it a little bit. I'm, I don't know. I'm kind of waiting for more to come out. If it's just one guy saying Brian basically know he kind of denied it.
00:52:48
Speaker
Um, and that's true today or yesterday, yesterday. two days ago now because it's technically Thursday. yeah God, midnight potting. Good morning, guys. Yeah, good morning. And so I think we'll talk more about that on our podcast that will come out on Friday. So make sure to check that out.
00:53:04
Speaker
I got you. All right. Appreciate you, Sawyer. We'll see you soon, my friend. Have a good one, with Sawyer. All right. ah Max, Max, you ready? we got Max and then Hunter said his tech is fixed. to Max, how are we? Oh, I'm hanging in there.
00:53:17
Speaker
you hear me now? I can hear you. You sound great. All right. Well, I don't sound that great. haven't been feeling well. Didn't actually make it to the game tonight. ah You missed out on a, on a thriller. Oh, I watched it. I watched it. I gotta say, ah like I still have like the old memories of CONCACAF from like, you know, the early 2010s and what we're seeing now is nothing compared to back then. no I mean, i remember when like, geez, I remember a CD Olympia that, that, that, that game where they scored an early one and then spent 70 minutes just flopping and falling. And yeah just, you couldn't, then we finally scored one, then we scored another. and then suddenly they all woke up and like, Oh, we can play now.
00:54:01
Speaker
But, uh, no, it's a good point. Honestly, uh,
00:54:07
Speaker
Tigris' dark arts weren't even that good. I've seen better. Washington State Ferry says the Tigris players were just appreciating the fresh grass. Which, like, guy that's kind of fair. Yeah, and from CONCACAF standard, ah i don' I don't think that the reffing was that bad, honestly. it was it was ah He let a lot of stuff go, but he also didn't let as much as, you know I'm just used to the old CONCACAF where this is just not that bad.
00:54:30
Speaker
And I remember the old days where we would just get bossed by any Mexican team that came in to say hello. And here we are going toe to toe with them. I don't think the, I don't think the conca capping in the dark arts is why Seattle lost. Maybe some people disagree, but like, i feel like it honestly didn't actually affect the outcome of the game that much. Seattle was still able to get three goals on those guys. It's just, they, you just, you could have all the dark arts and everything that came with it. And if you don't get bammed on, on a corner kick for the second match in a row, you probably advance.
00:55:05
Speaker
Yeah, and I mean, that the finish off that corner, that was a pretty nice finish. I'm not going to get angry for a header to low corner. From that distance, getting that much power, that was a pretty good finish. It's just like he's the this that's his bit. Like, that guy does that. Like, that one thing. Like, you got to...
00:55:22
Speaker
You got to know he's going to do that and like not let that specific guy do that specific thing. Can we get one of those? If you let him do it once, may you know, shit happens. To let him do it twice. To let him do it twice. It's just a little, yeah. it' Can we get someone that does that off corners? If we get that, that does off the corner, suddenly we're in business. don't we just sign him?
00:55:44
Speaker
Yeah, let's Let's go get that guy. I don't know. We'll dap him up. We'll do some daps. We're good with that. And last and honestly, it's like we're I feel like we're looking better at this time now than we were last year.
00:56:00
Speaker
And we don't even have De La Vega back yet. True. Oh my god, this would have been a thrashing De La Vega was back, dude. This would have been like you guys are this would have been like six six or six or seven to one um I mean, the only, and and ah you look at Morris had that one flick that the their keeper saved, that that that really tricky one that I liked.
00:56:24
Speaker
um He's coming back. and like hes he's He's coming back to form. He he may not be a world beater like, you know, old family Martins was, that Ladero was, that Rua Diaz was, but he' he's a solid player and people just need to remember that he is a good player when he's healthy. So we'll see what he does.
00:56:42
Speaker
People are being like, there's some people being like very critical of how he played in this game. I thought he looked, I thought he looked good. He got, he had an assist. He got on the stat sheet. Uh, the goal that he combined with Muson was great. Like I get that he didn't score, but like, is that all we're basing that at off? I don't know. Like, I don't know. I felt like I thought he played well. I thought he played pretty well.
00:57:02
Speaker
Yeah. All right. Well, I'll let you guys go so you can, uh, go talk to hunch, but, uh, I did get my credentials, my credential request in for the World Cup. So just awaiting my rejection from FIFA.

00:57:50
Speaker
Oh, and now I can't see no camera. All right. Thank you, Caleb. That's great. This is hit an hour hunch is gone. Caleb's gone. I think this is, I think that's a wrap. Why don't we give our final takes here of the game? Um, and you know what, let me start, let me start by giving piece offering. Oh, there's a super chat. I'm sorry. Hold on, hold on, hold on.
00:58:11
Speaker
Soybean says Oscar reminds me of an Arsenal fan talking about the old days. Well, might be the new days because they might be winning, unfortunately, um the prep, but maybe they'll fumble it.
00:58:23
Speaker
Um, Final thing, i want I want to give a little olive branch the Tigres fans as I've been poking my fun at them all night. I think a lot of people don't understand that we we're bitsmen. we're just We're just here to fuck around. so ah i appreciated um I appreciated this game. you know I am interested in in playing Tigres again. And I congratulate you on ah beating the Sounders for the first time ever.
00:58:54
Speaker
This is the first time that you have ever advanced past the Sounders. So that's got to be a big deal for your club. And I can appreciate that. I also, we also have to say those kits that you were wearing. Yeah. So good. Yeah. so good. Like, like literally I want one. So if anyone, if anyone wants to do a kid swap, hit me up like straight up. That would be sick. We, uh, we fuck with you guys. Thank you for rating our chat and letting us crash out. yeah Honestly, we're pro crash outs together in in a series like this, where, you know, you got two games, two teams going at it over multiple games. And then one team comes out on top, you know, talk your shit. That's fine. I get it yeah to be expected. ah
00:59:36
Speaker
you know, I was seething earlier, but I've achieved Nirvana. it was a good match it was an entertaining series series and just we we also next time we want to come down to that stadium because god damn the t-grade stadium looks absolutely rocking i was i was watching that already specifically was like we have to go i wanted to go man i want i got to get to that one the the since he came i was watching i was like damn dude this looks it was lit i i think like one thing i'm glad about and i fully recognize this is
01:00:07
Speaker
cope, but I'm, i' I'm glad they didn't get since he'd. I'm just relieved about that. Yes. Like we did it. That would have been way worse. T-Gro's fans. We can all laugh together at FC Cincinnati. They suck. They're not even a real team. Like they're an embarrassment. So like at least Seattle gave you guys a run for it. That team did not. Yeah. So no absolutely not. ah But yeah, you know, again, shout out, and rest in peace to a CCC. This is this for and for me like You know, most pretty much every year you ever enter CCC, it ends in an L. Yeah, is that only it only didn't one time famously in 2022. Every other year that they've entered CCC, it's ended in an L. And it's always one of the tougher L's for me because, ah well, first of all, getting the taste of winning it in 2022 was like a drug that you can't even imagine. yeah exactly it's like chasing the dragon basically ah but also i did i did really feel like uh we were talking about those kind of stars aligning moments you know inter miami going out a couple of other teams that were considered front runners going out and then you actually you're playing a really good tough match up against vancouver in the round of 16 and you actually make it by them relatively easily and then you got this tigres team which is you know it's it's a fine soccer team average professional soccer team and you could you and you almost made it by them like you were one goal away from making it by them and then at that point it's like man they would have been in the in the freaking semis so uh it is it's a tough l but i do think that it's not necessarily all cope to point to the performance in leg to look at how jordan morris looked three goals from the attack. Albert Rusnak has a bounce back game. There's I'm still looking forward to seeing what this team can do and what they can compete for and try and win this year because i think they're despite this result, they have they are in good form right now and they're getting pieces back. De La Vega is coming back. So a lot to play for it Philip to play for it Philip to play for and to close her out here. We got $20 from disc golf for Tigris kit fund contribution.
01:02:09
