Global Sports Podcast Network
in all the hills
00:00:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
hi everyone and thanks for joining to us to wow not to cry but to go over what happened yesterday ah when we unfortunately lost against Brentford at home right so tonight your host Vic along with Dan the man hello Dan
00:00:30
Dan King
Hello Vic. It's a sad day. But not going to be too depressed in this one.
00:00:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
we Yeah, I know. By the end of this episode, I'm sure we we'll be back to our normal positive thinking and look forward to the next game already. Obviously, we've got international break coming up ah first.
Team Motivation and Transfer Impact
00:00:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
um So hopefully players will recover and will be able to take us to Wembley.
00:01:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
What do you think about that?
00:01:05
Dan King
was feeling a little bit more optimistic a couple of weeks ago. and But yeah, maybe Wembley. Maybe.
00:01:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
is We're not looking promising. For the last couple of games, we're not looking promising. it It feels like something's going down. I don't know what happened. It's not the same team. It's not the same team from from previous month.
00:01:28
Dan King
yeah, are people... um Eyes looking elsewhere and their motivation's gone.
00:01:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
It feels like the motivation is gone, yeah.
00:01:35
Dan King
Our players already got moves.
00:01:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah. It feels like motivation gone. Some players... Do you think some players are maybe ah bit big in their heads since all these transfer rumors started going around based on their phone?
00:01:49
Dan King
Yeah, but then you look at the big the one he's probably had the biggest transfer room is he's been playing the best, Kerkhez. there's two ways of doing it, being an ultimate professional and not letting it get to you or being, i'm going to call it as a Semenyo and the performance just dipping.
00:01:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:02:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
do you not think he just dropped his form?
00:02:13
Dan King
I think he needs a rest. I'm hoping it's usually, but then Semenyo, one of the things with Semenyo that's always impressed me is his work rate. Um,
00:02:24
Dan King
And he's just a couple of times, like the offside of the game before last, last game. And then yesterday, just, it just doesn't seem like he's got that desire to chase down,
International Duty and Player Energy
00:02:40
Dan King
close down. Whereas you look at Kluivert, Kluivert does. Kluivert's still chasing everything, wanting it.
00:02:48
Dan King
So how that's changed through this season, ah season so far everyone was speaking about Semenya part the beginning of the season Semenya is going to be joining a big club they did the BBC interview and Semenya being linked to this club and that club but now I think it's changed I think it might be putting some of the bigger clubs off which isn't a bad thing if we keep him and then he comes back even better
00:03:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Yeah, I think he's just in a bad form. And um the way everything looked yesterday, is so we're going to talk um go into details a bit deeper later on in the show. But yesterday felt like players were saving
Podcast Network Promotion
00:03:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
themselves for the national from the international break, for the national teams.
00:03:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know, maybe maybe that's just my my vision, my opinion. ah But that's how it felt, like that there was no motivation. There was no motivation.
00:03:43
Dan King
Who knows? was just going through the players.
00:03:48
Dan King
Yes and no. I think there are that's a simple answer. I just think I'm looking at who's who's going on international break now.
00:04:02
Dan King
Semenyo? Okay.
00:04:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
we've got Semenya. um Dango. Is Dango going as well?
00:04:08
Dan King
Yep.
00:04:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
For Bukin Faso. We've got Dango. Kluivert from Netherlands.
00:04:13
Dan King
I actually don't know, but I know that there's no English ones going.
00:04:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
there's no yeah Yeah, there's no English ones. ah
Fan Energy and Game Atmosphere
00:04:20
Dan King
I'm guessing Sabani, but Sabani's...
00:04:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
out Yeah. Zabani, yeah. Hausson wasn't. There were talks about Hausson being included in the Spanish squad, but he wasn't in the end. Yeah.
00:04:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
I don't know, Evan Nilsson is...
00:04:34
Dan King
No, he's not in he's not in the Brazilian squad at the moment.
00:04:38
Dan King
So you you start thinking about it. Actually, we don't know. The players that you're...
00:04:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, Christy, we go... Christy, but now the situation... I didn't expect Christy to play yesterday, to be honest, with with his situation.
00:04:48
Dan King
He's got... Irola was saying about he's got a chronic injury, which is just going to... It's always there.
00:04:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
Chronic, yeah.
00:04:58
Dan King
And they have to manage it. But I do feel I go on to every single one.
00:05:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:05:04
Dan King
Take him off. It just slows down. The whole team slows down. Tyler Adams has definitely been picked for America. He was great.
00:05:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Yeah, yeah, yeah. And I think, I don't know if Hungary plays, but Kirk is, yeah, Kirk is a big part of the
Brentford's Tactics and Game Management
00:05:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hungarian national team as well. Unlucky he wasn't picked earlier for Serbia, but yeah.
00:05:26

00:06:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right. So, yesterday's game. We were
Kepa's Performance and Future
00:06:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
both in the game. We were at the opposite sides. I was in the north, you were in the south.
00:06:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'll tell you how it felt from the north. It felt that even the fans were a bit tired and there were no big expectations. There were, the fans weren't the same fans as the Wolves game in the cup, in the FA Cup.
00:06:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
We didn't stop chanting, um, singing for 120 minutes of the game. This game, it just felt so different. It just felt so different. Um,
00:06:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Performance-wise, um already mentioned earlier, I think some of the players were looking to me like they were maybe saving themselves for the for the international break and to play for their national teams.
00:07:05
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Regarding Semenyo, I think he's just in a bad form. Players' forms drop significantly. You know, it's it's they can be in a high grade form for a couple of months and then they suddenly drop it.
00:07:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
There can be a lot of things, you know. He might have something going on with his family, you know. He might have this, that. We don't know. we We don't know those small details, small things. But I think we will get him back after the international break.
00:07:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
I believe Semenya is going to be back to the Semenya team.
00:07:37
Dan King
i would I hope so. It just feels like his confidence has dropped. And it could be, like you said, it could be the agent who's already um touted him and made an agreement with another club. Who knows? um I'm hoping you'll win where he's just lacking a bit of confidence.
00:07:53
Dan King
He's just not shooting as much. He gets the ball.
00:07:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, no. i want to say about, yeah, the beginning of the season and everything, he was one of the top players to create chances and just try to go one-on-one and then shooting on goal. And even in our first, before you joined us, Dan, in our first few episodes at the beginning of the season, um I was actually complaining bit because i was saying that Semenya is a bit selfish. And in the in situation where he was supposed to pass, he would try and shoot.
Second Half Analysis and Player Performances
00:08:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
But he's not even doing that now. You know, it's and it's weird. It's weird.
00:08:24
Dan King
Maybe he's listened to your podcast and it's put him off, telling me need to get a go a little bit further into the episodes.
00:08:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:08:30
Dan King
I do think, um yeah, there there's so many moments.
00:08:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
and say exactly
00:08:35
Dan King
were We're talking about Semenya there, but like the header into the crossbar, open the free header, I thought that should have been him.
00:08:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
So I've pulled the start out. Semenyo is a top player in the Premier League whose hit would work no less than five times this season. So there's no other player that hid the woodwork five times this season other than Semenya.
00:08:54
Dan King
well
00:08:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
um We're talking about five more goals on his score sheet, you know? But...
00:09:04
Dan King
It's one of them annoying ones when he hits the woodwork if you have a bet on because if you don't know, hits the woodwork, that doesn't count as a shot on target. Yes, that did happen to me yesterday ah before yesterday and it's happened before. So that that doesn't surprise me but it just gives me a bit of a reminder why I avoid it.
00:09:23
Dan King
um One of the things about the whole game I found was Brentford's tactics to dull the atmosphere. The time-wasting from the goal kicks, the time-wasting from the throw-ins, from the first half.
00:09:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, yeah.
00:09:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
From the first half.
00:09:37
Dan King
It was painful, but it was clearly
Bournemouth's Defensive Challenges
00:09:40
Dan King
a tactic to slow the game down. They didn't want Bournemouth being high tempo.
00:09:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:45
Dan King
They didn't want the crowd on their side. It was ah real frustrating part of the game.
00:09:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah, and you could see, I mean, yeah, it feels so annoying. Like, we're thinking even Even when we were 1-1, even when it was a draw, they were just trying to slow things down. It's so weird.
00:10:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I don't think I've seen any other Premier League team this season doing that.
00:10:09
Dan King
Wolves. I've seen them do that to us. But that was a bit more of a tactical one. Because they...
00:10:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, but that that was after the lead. I'm talking about Brentford when it was a draw, when it was 1-1.
00:10:17
Dan King
Yeah.
00:10:21
Dan King
Yeah, well, is that a compliment to ourself? I wonder how many teams have done that. Brentford have done that too. Probably quite a lot, actually. The thing that we're but what we really struggle with, and everyone keeps commenting in, Brentford sit back for...
00:10:37
Dan King
And so they won't mind. And ah I don't think Bournemouth know how to deal with it. Like what Brentford did sit back and invite the crosses almost on the edge of the box. They wouldn't allow, they'd
Match Reflection and Tactical Choices
00:10:50
Dan King
encourage them.
00:10:51
Dan King
And obviously they're quite a tall team, aren't they?
00:10:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Yeah, they're a very strong aerial. And I don't think we've we've won many aerial um duels yesterday. It was... you You just couldn't do anything.
00:11:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
And even the the the subs that came on for Brentford, Pinnock, he's tall and...
00:11:13
Dan King
yeah
00:11:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
What was his name? Van der Berg?
00:11:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
the the
00:11:18
Dan King
I don't know.
00:11:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
They're all tall, yeah.
00:11:19
Dan King
but you they all they will they've whatever theyve yeah ah It's a clear tactic.
00:11:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:11:25
Dan King
It was a clear tactic um from them. Obviously, they scored from a corner. um Talk me through what you think of the goal they scored.
00:11:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Right. Well, the first goal was scored on your side. So I didn't see much, to be honest, what happened. i but what I thought that was a throw.
00:11:45
Dan King
No, it was your side. is your so ah you're on about Argyle.
00:11:49
Dan King
Argyle? That was
Player of the Match and Season Prospects
00:11:50
Dan King
it that was a
00:11:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, but even... No, no, no.
00:11:53
Dan King
that was your side.
00:11:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
no but but both of the no Both of the goals were on your side in the first half.
00:11:59
Dan King
die No. No, it was in the corner. A corner was down at the north stand. I promise you.
00:12:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm a bit lost in now, wait. Oh my God, I had a long day yesterday anyway.
00:12:09
Dan King
Yeah, it's very clear. Had a long day. Yeah, from the north, they headed at him. um
00:12:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
it's Let's go by the order, right. So first goal, on goal, right. um
00:12:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah Okay, I was expecting somebody's going score. I didn't expect on goal, to be honest. um
00:12:29
Dan King
No, great ball in by Kirk. um came off the player's hand. It looked like the referee was going to go to a whistle and give it a game of a foul against Bournemouth, or he thought it was Bournemouth's hand ball.
00:12:41
Dan King
And can see he stopped.
00:12:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
walk
00:12:43
Dan King
And then...
00:12:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
um One thing I can say for sure, there was no VAR yesterday at all. um So, but no, but it was, halftime was 1-1. Halftime was 1-1.
00:12:55
Dan King
Yeah, so it was at your end. So the Bournemouth goal was at my end. The Brentford goal was at
Conclusion and Personal Stories
00:13:00
Dan King
your end.
00:13:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes. Yes, yes, because, yeah, so Kepa, yeah, right you are right. Yeah, so it was a corner that Mbelmo took and we ahead of it because Kepa went out of his line and he missed the ball.
00:13:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
He tried to punch the ball. and And yeah, it did happen in front of me. Now and I'm rolling the film back and remember. ah He literally missed the ball. And then the next corner, like a couple of minutes later, it happened the same.
00:13:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he he he got it, but barely. Barely. Do you think that happened that happened because of his height?
00:13:34
Dan King
it
00:13:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because Kepa is not a very tall keeper.
00:13:36
Dan King
I think it was... I thought they great delivery. He's
00:13:42
Dan King
isn't he, Kepa? I believe. 6'2". um And from my understanding of listening or chatting to Premier League scouts, if a child if a child is not on um likely to be over 6'2 as a goalie, they usually dismiss him because there's the percentage of a keeper being...
00:14:03
Dan King
under six foot two now is so great. So then there must be a stat there. Obviously Kepa bucks that trend and was an 80 million goalie.
00:14:13
Dan King
I don't know. i just, you're more of goalkeeper here. And it reminded me a bit of you coming out to flap for it. But um yeah.
00:14:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah with with five foot nine good back in the days right when when we could still do it well yeah well my strength was jump I've yeah I had high jump and and reflexes so maybe maybe I kept it great delivery great delivery
00:14:30
Dan King
And he, maybe a bit like Kepa then. but if Just to miss time. hi Great delivery. I thought Mbomo's corners every single time was good. Just poor, poor.
00:14:43
Dan King
Should have done better.
00:14:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think Kepa should have stayed on the line, but it felt the same like the last game when he did the when he made a mistake against Tottenham, made a penalty.
00:14:45
Dan King
Add small questions.
00:14:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Son wasn't even going towards the goal. I don't know. um It feels like in the in the last couple of games, yeah, Kepa's been making some weird decisions. and ah He's had good great performances so far, but he's still on loan. He's not our player. we we need to remember that.
00:15:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we need to focus what to do at the end of the season. and Who are we going to bring? I can't see Neto going back and go.
00:15:26
Dan King
Nope, but we might be stuck with him with a high wage fee.
00:15:30
Dan King
He had a three-year contract. I don't think he's... Maybe we would try and loan him out again, possibly. Yeah.
00:15:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe. Maybe. ah Right. ah We do have quick message from sponsors and we'll be back shortly.
00:16:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, so half-time 1-1. We scored that goal. Second half started well. We tried to attack straight away. We had that crossbar that Semenya hit.
00:16:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
We had a couple more chances. We had when Brooksy came on. um that i think it was again Kirkus' cross, right?
00:16:51
Dan King
Wow.
00:16:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Where he hit half-volley and straightened the keeper. Unlucky. Yeah. And then I didn't see when the second goal happened. And I didn't even watch the highlights, to be honest, because I was so down.
00:17:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I didn't want to see myself somewhere in the stands just with my sad face. So um tell me what happened with that second goal.
00:17:14
Dan King
wow
00:17:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because Norgut who scored it,
00:17:17
Dan King
I, I'm, it's a throw in, okay, and they had a lot of throws, long throws, from number seven, I think it was, shall they?
00:17:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Sade.
00:17:28
Dan King
We defended really well, I was really impressed with all the defending before that, I was looking at like, how and near post, we were putting house in there, we had Kirkus coming through,
00:17:41
Dan King
There was, i really, i don't know who it was from Brentford, but he he had his hand wrapped round our two players. Good strength by him. He won the ball, flicked it on, boom, goal.
00:17:55
Dan King
Frustrating. Again, not really. footballing masterclass. It's more of a... Reminds me back of the day of Stoke. And I, like, the long throw into the box, chuck as many tall men in.
00:18:11
Dan King
Every single corner, I was watching it, and just watching the players.
00:18:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Is that the time when Peter Crouch used to play for them?
00:18:14
Dan King
it was It was just... It was like we're playing a basketball school team, wasn't it? It was like we're playing a basketball school team. and And we had all the uish um smaller players. It was just...
00:18:28
Dan King
It was going to happen. um
00:18:32
Dan King
But for I did think we did well until that moment. And I guess the more times we just get put out for a throw in near there, um the more likely it was becoming. And I think at times, there's been times where we don't actually need to push it out for a throw in there.
00:18:49
Dan King
um And we play a less risk option by playing out because most teams don't usually cause disruption from a throw. But it was very clear this team was. And yeah, it just happened again.
00:19:04
Dan King
i think it came it was a it was a second one, one immediately after the other. So they threw it in, we defended it well, but just where instead of clearing up the line, we just played the safe option out.
00:19:15
Dan King
It came in for another throw and they scored.
00:19:19
Dan King
Yeah, that was it. ah It's going around in my head more and more now, making me a bit sad. um I remember the the box was just completely crowded. and they were they They deserved it second half.
00:19:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, they were playing a lot in our box in the second part of the second half, yeah.
00:19:33
Dan King
I thought first half we were more dominating, but second half we were... They took the sting out the game. They got the goal. Their game management was exceptional. I can't really remember us actually having a chance after they scored.
00:19:49
Dan King
um And that's very unlike us. I don't think the subs made a real difference.
00:19:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:19:53
Dan King
What do you think about Tavernier going centre mid and Alex Scott not coming on?
00:19:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:19:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that was a bit odd. I mean, ah he he went into kind of holding position i from what I saw. ah I didn't expect that, I'm not going to lie.
00:20:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
I didn't remember your words from one of the previous episodes when you said that he could play central midfielder. But I think he did well.
00:20:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
The more worrying thing about me was Sinistera coming on and off because he just limped out.
00:20:30
Dan King
Apparently same injury last time. um Real worrying, isn't it?
00:20:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because we know was going to celebrate it.
00:20:37
Dan King
What would you feel though? yeah Obviously I've not been the biggest fan of Alex Scott. If you're Alex Scott, all those steps are happening.
00:20:48
Dan King
The ball is not going through um to the wings and it's not working. You need somebody with a little bit of magic to get through. one or two players in the edge of the box and he doesn't get bored in. What does that say to you about Alex Scott and what Andoni think in?
00:21:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's just one game. you you you can know Don't judge the book by its cover. It's it's only one game. if I think you just want to try something different. Tav had a good game.
00:21:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
He was chasing back and maybe that's the reason why he... but Because usually we know that around that time Tav goes out. We know that Tav gets subbed for Brooks around 70th minute or so, but probably he felt that he can you know push more and and that's it.
00:21:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
And um um as ah as I mentioned, i I don't think he played um a bad role as a CM. I think he did well. um He did all he could.
00:21:42
Dan King
So, who's your man of match?
00:21:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
What? Bournemouth man of the match, you're asking.
00:21:49
Dan King
Yeah, ah well, less overall man of match, I'm a big fan of that, so I thought he was a great goal and he held the ball up well.

Yeah, Wiesa is now on, what, 16 goals, I think? is's He's a great striker. And ah
00:22:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think Wiesa deserved it because there were a couple of chances just near the end of the game in the last few minutes and you could see him sprinting like it's the 10th minute of the game. And for me, that was fascinating. um playing Playing the whole game on that level and especially against Bournemouth, who is you know a high-pressed team,
00:22:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
um and then making runs like that in the 90th minute.
00:22:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think Wisser. um Obviously, Noga would go the man of the match award, but for me, i think Wisser. Wisser deserves
00:22:39
Dan King
What about Bournemouth then? Okay, Bournemouth, man of the match. We're not here to speak about Brentford. Bournemouth.
00:22:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
it. We're not here,
00:22:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah. I think Adams had a really good game again.
00:22:51
Dan King
Yeah, I've got Adams.
00:22:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
And it was great to see Zabani back. Zabani was very solid.
00:22:58
Dan King
Mm-hmm.
00:22:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
um
00:23:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, ah yeah um I'd go for Adams.
00:23:03
Dan King
I'll Adams. Adams got taken off, quite surprisingly.
00:23:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:08
Dan King
um Lewis Cookoff what played well right back again. um
00:23:15
Dan King
But yeah, I think we both agree with Adams. So that's quite clear, obvious one. He's hes a unlike Sinistera for us. I think we've got a real gem from Leeds there. um Really pleased with Adams.
00:23:30
Dan King
And obviously they've announced a a pre-season tour to America. So I'm sure the driving's helping us so you happened to fund for both of us to go there, isn't it, Victor?
00:23:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
You never know. Maybe. Hopefully. Hopefully we'll we'll be doing a lie from from United States. um You never know. We'll see. um But yeah, until then, I think we just yeah need to look forward as much as we can. We've got nine games left until the end of the season.
00:24:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
There is still a chance for Europe. Obviously, many people's um expectations have gone. And the the fans around me yesterday,
00:24:13
Dan King
All right.
00:24:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
were very, very um down after the game. And they were like, we we ain't going get Europe. There was a funny part though, right? i'm gonna So the guy that was sat two seats away from me, um at one point he mentioned, like let's get into the European competition and get Partizan Belgrade.
00:24:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Now, obviously i'm I'm from Serbia and I actually support Partizan Belgrade from Serbia.
00:24:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he had no clue that I could be from Serbia whatever. So just turned around and I looked at him and said, Oi, mate, my party's on Belgrade. ah Because I want to see their fans. They're crazy. They're weird. They're like this. They're like that.
00:24:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Yeah. And then I told him I'm supporter of parties on Belgrade. Oh, sorry, mate. Sorry. It's OK. I'm not going to do anything to you. ah But it would be very difficult because I wouldn't know who to support if it was to play Partizan Belgrade. would that Would I go the Southeast stand? Would I go North?
00:25:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Would be a very difficult choice then. I don't know. ah
00:25:20
Dan King
Well, I don't think it's looking like it's happening at the moment now. It's getting less likely.
00:25:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's getting less likely.
00:25:26
Dan King
that is international From this international break, we have a real strength, time to regroup. Like I said, I don't think as many people are on international duty as you think. So good time to get the team together and actually work on a couple of things.
00:25:40
Dan King
haven't seen a set. That was the thing that really surprised me. Beginning of the season, corner kick routines.
00:25:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh yeah, yeah we we we lost him. We lost him. know what happened.
00:25:51
Dan King
Like we're playing the biggest team in the world, but felt like, and we're just playing it straight into them every corner.
00:25:58
Dan King
So, yeah, maybe we'll come back with a corner kick routine. Maybe they're going to go back, spend the next couple of weeks or so with a corner kick routine.
00:26:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe we all should listen to our episode. and then just
