ST. LOUIS CITY SC vs New England Revolution | Soccer Zombie Reacts | MLS 2024

e [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Laughter] what's that evil laugh you wonder could it be because of what I am wearing we'll find out in about 3 seconds [Music] [Laughter] haa yes why only settle with one troll when you can do multiple trolls at the same time of course hello everyone it's your soccer zombie Tom Franklin here you're uh not not benevolent uh watch along host for tonight between St Louis city SC and the New England Revolution uh yes in case you are joining the stream and you're not aware of why I am uh wearing a baruja Dortmund hat well St Louis did not make friends with Dortmund fans in the past week they posted a uh rip on the LA Galaxy's Marco Roy graphic with Roy sitting on top of the Gateway Arch and um Dortmund fans thought that we were mocking their waifu I meant their icon and uh they did not take kindly on that wonderful social media site called Twitter about it so I still am a Dortmund fan maybe less so from that whole episode but uh yeah um I thought this might uh might be a little bit of levity for uh what's been going on this week so all right Eli Carlson what would we do with the drunken sailor I we're in Boston or the Boston area tonight so it just felt kind of appropriate at least for the starter stick him in the Sporter section uhoh Eli's asking what I'm wearing all right uh soccer zombie my man in the old heads fit nice uh was that I I think that might have been Mason uh posting on my behalf there uh yeah Twitter is wonderful uh they're waifu yeah they that's what that's what he that's what they treated him as like you cannot mock the uh uh the great Marco Roy it's I dealt with that with uh lonel Messi fans when I did that video on Nick Maric outscoring lonel Messi in the domestic competition in the US and I had Messi fans like respect the goat and I'm like please he's he he can he can he can defend himself thank you he's a grown ass man he doesn't need your help not that is Marco Royce and we that wasn't even the target with Marco Royce we were targeting the LA Galaxy anyway I have digressed already long enough uh as you can see I did some redecorating back here uh yep I got the Tim Parker scarf up for this one look Tim Parker I got the Parker on the back because he's a St Louis Legend still like I nothing will ever take that away um you know from Tim Parker and what he did for us in the inaugural season so yeah I got to pay some homage to the man there but he is next to our uh our uh our wifeu uh Roman berky uh formerly of these guys here Dortmund and uh yeah the scarf is out they had a couple at City Pavilion yesterday so if you were still looking to get a berky scarf uh they are right there just make sure if you're a season ticket holder to show them your uh proof of season ticket holders ship otherwise they will not give you the discount on the scarf as I unfortunately learned because I forgot my cell phone um Ryan Frey I thought the bottling would be why people aren't Dortmund fans that's fair um Eli Carlos hardle is the goat you know what hey berky move over we we we we got ourselves a a new goat here so uh Jeremy clemens's joining in the park kid Shenanigans tonight with my Parker Confluence kit so I must look like the most confused fan ever tonight uh totally totally I I mean hey I mean I'm no I'm wearing my Parker so it's like you know we're just just join the club definitely um who is at second shift tonight are they having a watch party tonight did I miss out on a uh on a watch party we we love second shift we were actually uh before the watch along the last watch Along on this channel uh River City ramble guys including myself were there so uh uh but yeah hello to uh the second shift homies love y'all oh Lans are doing second shift tonight gotcha gotcha I saw there was a couple uh uh different uh watch alongs I saw Southend I think there South 's actually down the street for me they're down at Felix's Pizza Pub in h Dogtown so uh very cool stuff there Eli Carlson actually Ryan fley I would have went up but I'm going to sdl for house sing tomorrow so trips from Chester to St Lou Louis on three straight days are too much good luck on to house sunning um the um the uh housing market in St Louis is a little ruthless but um it's not I he it's not as bad as it was Eli by the way did you remember when I said Reed was a great Wing back after the first game I think been proven right I think so as well Santos are also having one as well and I forget where they are um I think it's somewhere downtown if I'm not mistaken or are they at 9 Mile cuz they've been kind of hanging at 9 Mile lately um I don't know you guys let let me know where uh the Santo is going to show them uh some love here so on that note let's go ahead and talk about the game at hand oh and by the way you may have noticed uh I have a digital clock behind me um you'll see why it's there uh when the game starts Kane what's going on Kane his watch party is in his bedroom nice very nice uh on top of the sheets or under the sheets right now uh that's that's the real question we want to know here all right without further Ado let's bring on my uh speaking of the rear City ramble um oh by the way Santos is at laay on Manchester Avenue okay there we go there we go shout out to the Santos all right River City ramble co-host producer Mason joining in on the watchalong uh producer Mason I feel like I got go into uh Rambler mic mode here how's life treating you Mason uh my sunburn is better it doesn't look much better on camera though oh definitely it it looks a lot better I mean you I can actually see you know the whiteness in your face which is a weird thing to say actually now that I think well I am a white guy so I guess you you are that is that is confirmed confirmed producer Mason confirmed white gu confirmed white guy yeah in case there was any doubt now it is I will say there was actually some doubt about the Sunbird and me being on this watch along because my face has been peeling for the last two days and I was like I'm not going to go on stream if my face is still peeling that's just disgusting this is the this is the soccer zombie channel so if Freddy Krueger made an appearance on this channel I think it would be on brand so it would be an interesting an interesting Twist on the zombie genre if the zombies were red instead of gray right exactly and you know what that's that's one reason why I get along with atfc because their whole thing is the Egypt mummy thing and uh mummies are kind of like zombies in a in in a in a weird way so in many senses I would say in fact in me sense I I would say I would say they're cousins I would say zombies and mummies are definitely cousins I'm calling this right now very relevant discussion to soccer um don't don't think that we're on a tangent it is very relevant it will come up later this will be on the test take notes yeah us on a tangent really I mean never never no no no no we we are we are River City um on Rails you know we are not River City ramble I mean river River City Shand defur or maybe River City shaton Frey depending on uh depending on the day uh that was that was the first half of the Season ah gotcha gotcha all right so let's go ahead and talk um about the big big attraction with this game not just the fact that this is the first time that St Louis CSC and New England Revolution are playing the lineups and um I'm going to address the elf in room for a fact I'm actually going to address it right now New England revs lineup is out and one name jumps out if you're a St Louis fan number 27 Tim Parker is making his rev's debut tonight I know boy it is and you know what I only know it is Tim Parker's debut because in the thumbnail graphic that is literally the only picture of Tim Parker in a revs Jersey that I can find so uh Tim Parker making his debut tonight you think he's goingon to be a little motivated for this one oh yeah um absolutely um friend of the or at least friend of the River City ramble um I think also possibly friend of the soccer zombie YouTube channel Dan Dev Vier uh posted at us being like what are the odds that Parker and K get simultaneous red cards and it's like I don't know about that um I think that this is going to be a big time Revenge game for both of them and I bet both of them score to be quite honest I think that is quite I mean of course we know Parker is always a threat to score from uh from corners and his flying headers uh Angus M how's it going um so yeah um and by the way while we're on the topic of Tim Parker uh sell Parker pner at least at the liquor store around the corner for me so yeah they still have Parker pser available at good stores everywhere and just in case you didn't have enough Tim Parker references for this watch along cheers I am I am drinking Miller High Life but I am doing it in a punk Koozie so very nice very nice I need to put my Parker pills during my Union Omaha Koozie now that I just uh just reminded me of that thank you very much um and then yeah exactly what is on in the background yeah this is uh what would you do with a drunken sailor playing in the background we are in the Greater Boston area tonight so and I was looking at free music on YouTube and um this was like the most Boston thing I can think of in like two minutes so could could you find a midi cover of shipping up to Boston I was looking for one and I I couldn't I mean I I would have it would have been one of those things where it's like okay how long has this YouTube account been dead can I use it and probably get away with it cuz secret that uh the cover the 8bit cover of zombie CR by The Cranberries that's like from an account that's like 12 years old and they haven't posted anything in like 10 years so I it's okay they they are not going to get mad at you for that one but also I'm thinking about this and I'm like what do you do with a drunken YouTuber what do you do with a drunken YouTuber what do you do with a drunken YouTuber late in the evening exactly all right so let's get into our lineup here so we got berky and net no shock there um maybe a surprise depending on your point of view maybe more of a surprise maybe or maybe not more of a surprise than the first time he was in the lineup Jake nerwinski in fact he actually got the uh picture treatment there so uh nerwinski Kessler Hebert and Giannis Horn uh starting at left back here um first things first Mason with nerwinski I mean this in general with nnsky and Horn looks like that hackworth wants to play he liked the defensive look from last time and maybe he's just um not breaking uh not changing what isn't broken do you think that's the case here uh yeah largely um I guess uh to um not bury the lead here it's the same lineup that we uh went out with last game and and um I think that Jake nnsky showed very well in that match and also Janis horn I think I think showed out very well in that match but I think that we're expecting a lot more of jannis horn than we are for say Jake nnsky um I think that Jake is getting the run out here because he has played well he wasn't necessarily getting the time that he possibly even deserved um out of uh Carnell and hack has more belief in him and then also we're on the road and 99 times out of 100 you want a more defensive shape on the road um and so nnsky makes a lot more sense there um one thing I do think is that um totland is absolutely chomping at the bit into to get into this game and so one thing that we talked about is uh when uh uh on on the RCR uh when uh Reed came in for horn and Reed unlocked the offense down that Wing if it's if it's a deadlock late in the game or even if we're down one Reed for horn and tots for Jake oh boy yeah I know and that was something I mentioned in the last episode like I wonder if you know we're going to see how they used horn and Reed you know more because you know horn started he played the bulk but then you had Reed's fresh legs come on late and like almost right after he came on he contributed to hard's goal goal so um I wonder if they stumbled upon the proper usage of that of course I want to see um you you brought this up in the last episode jannis horn I I think he wilted a little bit in the St Louis uh heat I agree I I agreed with your take there uh shouldn't be as hot tonight but do you think it was the Heat or do you think it was just him getting back up to speed why he looked a little gassed um I think it was Mike that said that actually not to I don't want to take any credit away from I don't want to take any credit away from our illustrious host um but I agree with him and I I think it's um it's probably like a 6040 I think I think he was probably melting in the Heat and then it's also it's the first minutes he's really put under his leg since he's gotten here so there's I think acclamation on both sides it's getting back up to speed getting up to game shape and then also you know a guy from from Denmark coming over here and being like Oh my God it has never been this hot anywhere I've ever been in my entire life well I mean jabul Blom I mean he also had issues with the heat last year and I remember he uh had issues like getting dehydrated and he just wasn't used to it and now jabo's black is is back in uh in South Africa um what do you think of that move going back to Kaiser Chiefs like I thought I I think it was a I mean on the surface of it you know we don't know what went on behind the scenes but like I think it was a good gesture by the club to send him back to Kaiser Chiefs where you know he played most most of his career and he was obviously most comfortable with um what what did you think of that move um I was sad to see it go I really like jbo um I really liked his play he obviously dropped in the dep chart um like let let's not kid ourselves right but I was sad to see him go I'm glad that it's only alone but also like it is alone with an option to buy and I would kind of be surprised if the Kaiser Chiefs didn't buy him back because he's such a HomeTown favorite there um and I don't know um I think one thing is that like yeah he did absolutely melt in the heat here and everyone's like oh well it's Africa he should be used to the heat South Africa's not that hot man it's pretty temperate there very that's why I mean it's one of the reasons why it's one of the biggest population centers in Africa is because it's just the weather down there is really nice actually um probably very similar to like uh um trying to think of like a night like maybe like a I almost want to say almost California like you know at least in the non-desert parts because you know a lot of California is very nice and very temperate um down near like like Johannesburg and stuff like that yeah like down near the cap like on the coast yeah it's yeah it's it's kind of SoCal when you get onto into the interior you get a little bit more into the jungle it gets a little more humid a lot hotter but like in the in the cities in the places where you play professional football it's basically SoCal and like you don't get that kind kind of weather here by way mo football is saying nope Salt Lake during the day so H interest I not sure was that in reference to the South Africa weather uh Mo or uh but anyway regardless I I hope he does maybe I need to have a discussion with my friend who has been over there because I have not been to South Africa but my A friend of mine has been for his uh for like uh his uh grad his grad school stuff so maybe I need to have a talk with him about the weather reports happen getting from well and as you said it just maybe just depends on the area of of South Africa but yeah Musa says it's like Salt Lake during the day and Salt Lake during the day is uh hot and dry hot and dry so H well I I'll have to go to South Africa someday and see for my I'm from a hot and dry place and I can tell you for a fact the humidity does make a big even if it's hot it does it does I I I went to Phoenix a couple years ago and I was like it this doesn't feel bad out here what's the temperature oh 100° yeah the the joke about the dry heat isn't that much a joke the dry heat matters definitely definitely uh rest of the lineup as you said looks um uh very uh very much you know it's the exact same lineup as last week Durkin and Len in the middle vasel left toyer hardle attacking with Simon beter up top which makes sense I don't think ja Claus is quite ready yet at least for starters minutes um on the bench we got ratus Alm Jake Girdwood Reich clouse Reed thoron totland Watts Yaro and Lun only name that doesn't that sticks out to me that isn't in that bench actually a couple names number one Johnny Klein's not there number two hideo kajima is not there they've been getting runs with City 2 of late so that kind of also kind of what makes me tells me that you know this is um maybe with all everyone getting healthy again and you know the new toys that are in um you know get a toy toy shirt um you know maybe they're just kind of out of the Reckoning at the moment yeah I I think the big thing is that like kleene and kajima have been pushed out of their spots by Alm and klouse returning right um I Klein I think was an emergency call up U right like we we all know that um kajima I think is on everybody's radar right like everybody from fans to front office is looking at kajima and being like we got a Real Steal with this kid like we all know what we got like this kid is the real deal but he is a like he like he's a draft pick like we we took him from Wake Forest and put him in the first team lineup um you don't see that a lot I think that that was like playing Kima that much was more a desperation move than anything and so I think that kind of everybody possibly even kajima included would like for him to go down to City 2 and get a little more seasoning before he had to be this pressured he did a great job stepping up to the plate and delivering in those high pressure situations but now that he's not quite as needed kajima is also the kind of guy that just wants to go and play he doesn't really care where um but as we saw where he would he would sub on in a city game fly back and then play start in the city 2 game um yeah he just wants to play and I think that he probably is also like yeah man I don't care uh put me wherever you need me and I think right now they're like we don't really have room for you on the team put you on City 2 and he's like I love it I'm going to go win them a championship yeah definitely and you know um as a game's going to start here in a little bit they're currently in commercial on Apple TV um I I did kind of notice that kajima looked a little I I we talked about the sun of pack a little bit I think uh he he's he will hustle he'll try to cover every blade of grass on the on that he can and I think he was looking a little tired and I think uh I think a reset for him in City 2 you know to kind of um re acclimate a little bit and you know I think that's a good idea also just gets him some time gets him some minutes probably gets him a chance to be a little bit of a coach as well because you know that's one thing that uh Carell that said about him that that he likes to you know be like almost like a little coach yeah um I love I really do one thing I one thing I want to flag up here is uh Jeremy uh talking about the starting 11 um I don't think this is the first time that hack has brought out the same 11 but um in a small sample size I think that hack has done it a little more often than Carnell did it was kind of a rarity when Carnell did it to the point that it was a joke um you know speaking I like I think hack did it a couple of times like like he would have like two games with the same lineup during like leagues cup maybe even three leagues cup was weird it it it's hard to say I think he did it once before maybe twice but like the the lineup was so in flux I don't and also my memory is shot and I'm stupid so I don't know yeah definitely and Musa thanks for uh thanks for joining the stream hopefully I'll see you in the future um but yeah looks like they're announcing the starting lineups right now um oh Mike pointing out that turf does not look good are we talking like the Dome level I was G to say we're at Gillette it is Turf oh that that actually you know what I mean it's it's not great it's not great so all right game's about to kick off we'll chat with you at halftime all right see you around everyone all right now you're going to see why this clock here is behind me so you see it's at zeros it's a part of my watch alongs I always like to give time stamps during the watch along but no more as we're we're going to kick off here in just a little bit look at Henry Kessler look at he just looks he looks uh very Demir in that uh backline it's the tach it is definitely definitely the Tash and I'm pretty pumped about this one uh yeah this is Reggie Bush levels of turf yeah never forget Reggie Bush slipping at uh at the old Edward Jones Dome so all right and we're away oh no my there we go okay it the timer is going to be like maybe actually it's just two seconds behind so it's it's close enough all right so yeah that's going to keep track of the time going forward and uh I'll have to stop it at 45 so you won't like get track of the stoppage time but uh um yeah I have a timer now ho ho ho so new England in their whites moving from right to left actually we're on our white whites moving from right to left New England moving from left to right oh it's like I New England has a very underrated home kit that the the the blue and red kind of um you know Solly gradient you know with the gradient going on there kind of the red folding Into the Blue oh here's hardle in the Box into the box shot and wide threatening early on indie vasilev yes Henry Kessler very mindful very demure no one like no one liked that uh that video like all the comments were just like stop it ad been it's bad yeah Indie maybe could have done a little better with that one um but still though I mean I mean have we ever had a first minute goal with St Louis is I think that would have been the first ever like first minute goal um you know if you're new to the watch alongs here on this channel by the way uh the these games tend to go absolutely insane so like 33 44 um 43 I think we had one there and then we had a nil nil in there early on we don't talk about that one but uh yeah very nice little cut in by hardle uh solid first chance on the road from the opening kick I agree yeah Kane it wasn't the best executed Trend but I'm a sucker for any personality videos from the players and you know what I think it showed that Henry Kessler does have a personality I I think he's someone that um he's already played pretty well for us and if uh if he continues that I mean I can see him being just as popular as Tim Parker is that a hot take is that a hot take could Henry Kessler be at least as popular as Tim Parker was here in St Louis because I love me some Tim Parker a lot of people L him some Tim Parker Tim Parker drove some people crazy though so maybe maybe that's not so controversial what do you guys think do you think Henry Kessler could uh um could be just as popular as Tim Parker all right Durkin with the ball carrying it on the near side cuts it back to the Middle lven with it now looking for a friend he's just going to like chunk a shot at the goalie made the goalie make a save although that might have been going out of bounds that was uh that was close so yeah officially my uh timer I started it like a like two seconds late but it's it's close enough I'm not restarting it um I almost it's going to feel weird though when I'm doing this game and like I'm thinking like oh I should give a time stamp oh wait I got a clock for that all right by the way I missed some uh comments uh beforehand here as New England's kind of playing the ball around in the back uh Ryan Fairley atar is just playing on a little Egypt references they wouldn't be the first Southern Illinois institution to do that Egyptian power SIU being the Salukis there's also a lot of cities in that part of Illinois that have Egyptian names Koo is probably you know the most uh famous of them but like atar I have a shirt of atar with like a little Pharaoh you know mascot on the front I'm trying to convince them they need to actually use use that that that Pharaoh mascot more because it's actually a kind of a banger shirt um but yeah they they lean into the Egyptian stuff like they have a mummy that's a mascot too it's that's pretty it's it's kind of funny they really do try it atar I love them um might be doing some stuff for them this coming uh season by the way all right we're in the Midfield now going out outside wise um oh got some answers on the Kessler I think uh Kessler is roadbed in the popularity rankings by guys like Celio right now please get well Celio please get well I mean yes Kessler definitely has some work to do as bad turnover here four on two for New England but they fluff it and durkin's there to the the the cover it up nice hustle back there by Durkin although remember last remember last week uh hackworth told Durkin stay back stay back stay back cuz Durkin likes to wander a little bit and uh looked like Durkin was is definitely putting on the afterburners to get back there hopefully he uh hangs back there a little bit more looks like he is he's marking 17 there on the far side uh more Kessler opinions sure Kessler can be as popular as Parker but he has to earn it that's pretty much my point um Kane personality wise yes obvious meaning to Club history of course not no one's ever going to going to match you know Parker in that regard um but if he skyrockets a ball into the Sands of uh children Mercy Park absolutely yes that there you go we were joking on the uh River City ramble this past uh week about because uh it was Mason's turn to get hit by a uh flying pregame ball in the stands and uh as you can see he he lived to tell the tail but uh I i' made the joke that like the supporter section at city park must feel like a shooting target for um away teams you know during pregame because like we're very tall we're very vertical we got this very color CTIC colorful cast of characters we have guys wearing ravioli hats which I saw the comment on earlier by the way I'll bring that up in a little bit got the flags you got the drums and it's like yeah I mean we we've got to look like one of those like old western type of shooting ranges um you you get like five points for hitting the ravioli head 10 points for hitting a flag that kind of thing yeah uh Mason got hit on the passenger side quarter panel so luckily uh those are very fixable in my time I actually damaged a quarter side panel front quarter side panel after I hit a deer uh in my old uh Saturn and uh it was fine just needed to uh I went to the junkyard replaced it everything with Saturns was Bolton part so it was very easy to fix yeah Jeremy also noting that Durkin doesn't seem to be sitting deep again so far yeah that's something to watch for tonight is uh can Durkin be uh responsible um and cuz I I I love the effort from Durkin it's the same issue we were talking about with kajima you love the effort you love to see it but like there is such a thing as play smart as berky clears it out not harder all right get there Simon Simon will get there could launch an attack here uh Indie in front of him toyer in the middle going to play it back though to Len Len sitting pretty deep uh gets it out to I think this is Indie yes it is into the box headed away but we got our first Corner that's Timmy Timmy Parker with the uh header clearance there oh there he is there's my Timmy never never forget Old Timmy all right it's like hard's going to take the uh corner kick here yeah I agree Mason it feels bad to see Tim make make that play against us yeah it's a bit it's a bit Bittersweet I just want Tim to be happy you know like I did you guys listen to his podcast with uh Sam's Army he uh sounded pretty bitter about how things ended here and I don't necessarily if his story is truly correct but I don't have a reason why it wouldn't be um yeah it it's pretty sad all right into into the box headed by horn right on goal and a save I didn't know Giannis horn had uh had aerial duels in his locker is a chat City tactics in this uh in this chat you know can you show me the graphic of Giannis Horn's aerial duels one percentage uh from his time in uh at nerur uh yeah it was a very strong header from horn I like that a lot New England on the counter though they got the ball in the corner uh good close defend there by Kesler so we just mentioned Parker now we got our first uh Henry Kessler mention yeah hardle on that side when India starting is interesting that I agree I think they wanted I guess they they were thinking outswinger for that one uh and hard's the righty and Indy's the Lefty so I think that's maybe the thinking there all right here is the aforementioned Yannis horn playing it back to Len is going to send it into the box it's going to be a little too far for Simon beter he was marked by Timmy Parker Timmy Timmy Parker like that we're playing on the front foot here so far um I predicted a 3-1 win for St Louis is is that Reckless optimism is that too Reckless a 3-1 win um I don't think it's Reckless not the way we've been playing lately I mean we put up uh you know a two spot on a very good Galaxy team and the revs aren't that good they're about where we are in the East so I think it could be done I mean how many teams have come into city park and put up three against us I mean you know probably more times than we want to remember but you know this season but it's happened I agree Kane no such thing as Reckless optimism I agree um yeah and Jeremy saying not Reckless considering New England's home form and their 11 goal difference at home see I that's why I like you guys so much you guys you validate my uh uh borderline cringey takes I appreciate that guys I really do I mean River City rample validates by cringey takes cuz they have me on their show speaking of which interesting that our new guys are already getting their second game on artificial turf yeah I wonder what uh someone needs to ask after the game hardle and uh Toy chirt uh what they think of artificial turf hisis Horn's got a break here but he's going to get chased down might have been enough to earn a corner though looks like he did I don't know was that a case of Giannis horn just not having the pace or was it the uh uh right back for New England that that right back had to cover a lot of ground though I credit that number 25 he had some Wheels I think that was just number 25 being fast um yeah River City ramble only bad in cringy takes I agree I agree that mean that's why Sporting KC ceas and assisted you know the River City ramble last year not not because of a trademark just because like they listen and they're like oh God uh yeah I think Giannis got burned a little bit but that number 25 was moving pretty quick though on the replay to be fair all right Horner another corner for hardle headed out so yeah hardle was taken to corner on the other side as well very interesting very interesting I think we talked about that on the podcast the uh um the I guess the diplomacy between Len and hardle On free kicks as bet has it in the Box was that a handball was that a handball kicked out for a throw I saw beter put up his arms I saw another city player put up his arms referees holding out his hand was that a handball it's time for our favorite game as a St Louis city fan was that a hand ball well on that replay I didn't even see it hit the hand oh it went off Parker's hand it did go off Parker's hand are they going to say it was too close to his body though I know we I think that might might have been a handball apparently they reviewed it and said no it was in a natural position that's ah gosh yeah handball of a Parker of Parker of all people um didn't he get didn't he give away a uh penalty kick uh when he was with st Louis because of a handball am I am I misremembering that I feel that was a big one yeah Jeremy we have definitely seen that uh before Timmy our secret agent trying to help St Louis city you love to see it lending a hand you love it Ryan fly because dumb conaf and dumb MLS didn't clarify the rules on handball like what you did yeah I agree yeah we all know the struggle with that as another attacking chance for toyer we are flying tonight horn near side looking for a friend uh he finds Tim Parker doesn't play for us anymore and oh but back to hardle though now over to Len lven into the box still holding on to the ball gets dispossessed hardle tries to reclaim doesn't and now revs going the other way and a tactical foul by Hebert to stop the break yeah James uh vandar I feel like I just assume every hand hand ball call is a coin flip yeah that's you have to at this point um and and you also if you're a St Louis fan you have to just expect sadness uh River uh Mike's saying he had his arm behind him as Defenders need to do now and it still hit his arm so I think it was like in the process of going to his back it was like it was like in transition but I guess it was close enough to his body to where they considered it natural uh Angus lending his hand of God nope that was Diego meridana the madana has the hand of God or had it he he passed didn't he am I am I am I misremembering that didn't meridana pass if not I feel like he should have by now because that dude lived a wildli Jeremy we are definitely on the front foot tonight feels very different than some of our way matches I dig it it feels like we're kind of bullying new New England a little bit honestly um and yeah I was right uh meridana passed uh rest in peace R RP Madonna r get the RPS for maraton in the chat we' become an uh Argentine um watch party here the hand of ginho love it love it all right New England now moving back forward oh nope turnover and here we go the other way that's a tactical foul on New England and that's going to get a yellow card for ver uh Rion little more than what we gave them so I guess that merited a uh yellow more of a obvious shove Kane at this point all football governing bodies need to have a if it hit the hand it is a hand ball no natural position blah blah blah um if the glove doesn't fit you must quit you know that you know that kind of thing do we do we need to make what is a handball in OJ Simpson level trial here I feel at this point we almost have to we're getting to that point all right res going the the other way and St Louis will recover that was kind of a cross into nowhere all right we're staying with it staying with it all right now Len's going to launch the counter here he's got hardle out to his left beter up front len over to the right side a toy chirt it's toy chirt I got to get used to that toy chirt not toy Kurt oh uh that was ball that was ball the St L player went flying but uh new Eng guy got the ball um right and a turnover and we're going back the other way kind of a very fun game so far like no goal scored but like it's not been a boring game so far Kan it's definitely a hot take in some cases but it's like goalie interference and hockey at this point oh gosh uh yeah goalie interference that's a whole whole thing in hockey hand balls call for body language experts how does one become a body language expert does it pay well does does it pay well to be a like do do you get like a like a like a master's degree in body language I'm curious by the way I got the uh back uh some new background music going for uh for these streams is it too loud too quiet just right figured it was time to time for some variance uh C and I got it courtesy of the YouTube free music library so ah Kane does say it does pay up play pay well that's good all right producer Mason our audio expert saying the music sounds good oh I can preex now that Mason has said it's good it's good and I'm not being sarcastic either uh Mason has saved one or two YouTube videos of mine because I apparently have a bad ear for background music so thank you Mason Mason that's not the only thing you're good at I'm sure there's other things are good at like you know guest appearing on soccer zombie watch alongs I mean that's you know you're pretty good at that I'm I'm just glad that you finally found some light in your garage so that you don't look like you're in a you're in a dungeon we can actually see your face which is nice depending on your point of view like if you know all right we got a refs fan in the chat here Revolution going to put seven on your domes okay well they've uh they've got to do that in the next 70 minutes and I've not seen them even put one on Nets so uh good luck with that good luck with that and and as River City ramble points out New England with some very terrible passings so far yeah they've not looked very disjointed by the way R fan welcome by the way uh please take care of Tim Parker for us although it sounds like you might be just borrowing him I don't know if he actually resigns with you but got speed res Fanatics yes hey you look look I I'm just glad the rebs do have FNA it's been kind of a tough year for them a tough couple years for you guys I think actually uh Kane entry level about 60,000 experts are about 140,000 okay I am doing the wrong thing in life I need to be a body language expert I have fun doing it am I good at it well look I I just did five volleyball games at St Louis University in the past 3 days I have fun doing them and I must be good at them because they keep telling me to come back so and you keep coming back so there you go there you go plus Kane's not available this time Kane is uh not in New England very disappointing Kane very disappointing you're supposed to be our a day correspondent Kane actually no seriously Kane that was pretty epic of you coming on the from Portland last time all right yeah we got 13th versus 13th beef here like I there's there there is uh um there's 18 people currently watching this watch along right now watching a 13th versus a thir 13th beef I don't think this is going to be nil nil I think there'll be a breakthrough maybe my three-goal prediction was a little ambitious oh and Miller yeah Miller took a tumble there didn't get much contact from horn maybe it was on the landing looks like they're setting up so Miller is going to be fine probably uh selling it Kane from Portland it was very fun thought it I'd be horrible at it but not going to lie I even surprised myself dude I mean talk about surprising yourself I'm doing a watch along right now for St Louis city SC you want to talk about surprising yourself here I am uh free kick into the box headed away headed High rather still in the box kind of getting headed around we're playing uh we're playing The Ground is Lava oh so uh New England wins that the ball hit the ground headed back to Mr Roman berky get your Roman berky scares at City Pavilion they're on sale they still have some they actually had a lot more CLA scarves there than they had bergy yesterday all right this is promising this is hardle deflected shot out of bounds we're going to have another corner so Corner number three tonight yeah head or keep away it's fun it's fun yeah James is I noticed that earlier James Horn looks a little slow um I noticed that too and also how did horn miss the ball I think horn was just trying to disrupt more than anything but yeah Horn's pace is a little eh concerning very concerning but maybe it's just him getting up to speed or maybe it's just him pacing himself yeah that is a sick scarf the Rev scarf with the skull wearing a tri corn that is very sick all right here is hardle with a corner in off The Far Side in the Box headed by Kesler in the champion final the headline has been written for some reason my button bars aren't working tonight but there we go one to nil and just as the script dictated we have a city goal uh the first ever for Henry Kessler against his old Club you love to see it [Applause] chelse regardless here we go one to nil Henry Kessler all very very mindful very demure on that header yeah let's go yapo gold Kesler King K get in let's go the king king a king with the kingly header very nice Ball by har kler going up towards him to get it and just with a very closure hitter that was a header from a long way a floating header across the goal to the far post that was not an easy header at all uh yeah Kessler simply schooled that Defender I agree give me just one second I'm going to try to figure out what's going on with my uh system here it's not playing uh my usual goal stuff let's see am I back oh wait it's on the webcam hang on Chelsea a place in the Champions League final the headline has been written place in the Champions League final the headline has been written there we go I'm back uh because it turns out when you uh turn off uh your stuff um yeah lost the mic oh Jeremy said the uh you did have effects H why am I not hearing anything there we go I'm back all right Angus cannot read lips I should be back now though I I I should be back there we go there jery says I'm back there we go technical difficulties that I'm still having I don't know why my button bar isn't working that makes me sad that makes me sad so we might not have any neevel gasms tonight that's very very unfortunate you fix the uh ticker there okay we are back yay now did you guys actually hear the uh like like here I'm going to play uh I'm playing something right now can you guys actually hear that okay so the ne BS are working I'm just not he okay gotcha gotcha okay there we go um I can't hear them for whatever reason but yeah I need to figure that out I'll figure that out at halftime there we go STL STL St okay good we're good we are good I need to figure out why I can't hear it's so weird but I I'll assume they're working shot revs goal right back instant reply yeah that was just uh that was a not great defense there yeah dang Kessler gith Kessler taken away this feels uh very very very familiar I [Music] agree oh yeah that was a bad slip bad slip wide open berky can't do anything that was uh kesor should know this Turf like he played on it for years oh that went right through berky dang dang yeah the turf monster got him very unfortunate slip from the cornerback and the revs equalized M yeah yeah that's very unfortunate very unfortunate yeah B uh as Chris pointed out berky got five hold definitely yeah B uh first thing Kesler said when he came to St leou is what they wanted to play on real grass I think he hated this surface well sure doesn't like it now and yeah uh Mason apparently he still does that's that was my point exactly uh James I think Hebert needs to slide farther to the outside here uh so he can mark the forward yeah I I mean no I I think he was okay it was just it was just Kesler lost his footing the turf monster grabbed him and they had a break yeah we've seen this before Mike we we capitulate just a few minutes after we score hope hope is a Fickle thing by the way I apologize for the repeated Neville gasms uh I actually think I've sorted out why I wasn't hearing it it was a routing thing on my computer uh but I think we're good now I think we're good now sorry about the repeated Neville gasms here's toyer turnover he's going to take a shot and a little squibber right at the goal didn't really have an outlet there he did have Durkin going up to his right which Durkin he's not staying in place yeah uh I have nightmares about audio routing I agree um there's a reason I use streamyard and not OBS we we we've talked about this before I I I have nightmares from obs like when OBS works is fantastic just doesn't always work Kane one day we won't concede a goal after scoring within the first two minutes uh but it is not this day as uh Aragorn famously said bummer bummer bummer I get a little bead going on in here oh yeah I need to update my ticker Mason thanks Sunday streamyard will come out with like a like a score bug that you know will just Auto you know make it easier to update but in the meantime we sold dra on thanks Mason thanks for being a good producer Mason uh yeah where was Durkin on that red school that's a good question maybe was maybe he was uh in their half shot blocked rebound squibbed berky dies went wide anyway I don't think he got a piece of it by the way Mason since he's logged on you can produce on the back end um uh if you want to be look Mason if you want to be on Banner Duty uh go for it go for it cuz it's as as you can see it's a little hard to do three things at once yeah this defending wasn't that great either I agree Jeremy the seventh goal conceded by city between the 16 and 30th minute of play yeah uh not surprised that we're giving 60% possession to New England though we don't I mean we're playing more possession base but like that's relative like we would give you know teams almost 70% of possession at times so James where was our right back on that goal is it reasonable to expect a DM to slide outside temporarily when an outside back is out of commission that's true nnsky uh didn't have the best positioning there either that's that's fair I still pin that mostly on Kessler but yeah there was that when Once Kessler fell there was like no one there to cover that's that's concerning but then it's like if Hebert moves over to cover then he leaves his man exposed and it just you see where the dominoes you know start to pile up there kind of like damned if you do damned if you don't so we are in the 32nd minute 3739 my clock's about 2 seconds behind of my actual time but it's close enough all right Indie just outside the box get double team stays with it though good effort uh Alejandro castano what's going on Alejandro do you think uh Toy chard's going to score today he was my pick to score they someone on Twitter asked who was going to score today between hardle toyard and beter and I picked I picked toyard Toy's been on a little bit of a role I think uh MLS is definitely toyard speed here he's he he's looked very comfortable since coming over like hard I mean both hardle and toyer has been fantastic but toyer just seems to have a have goals in his locker speaking of which gets the ball to him keeps it in bounds into the box shot blocked that was louen on the shot Newan trying to go the other way good d by good pressing by horn that was that was that was good pressing to uh to disrupt at what could have been a counter very good job by horn you know maybe Horn's one of those guys where you may not have Elite foot speed but maybe he can win on positioning and sense yeah Jeremy I've noticed that too derkin still more advanced than the last week seems like a shift tactically at this point compared to his role against La he worked well against La though playing deep like we have people up front now that can attack we have we have no shortage of that now like Durkin just play the six just stay I know you want to do everything Durkin but just day yeah Carlos Gil has been a shadow of his former sell for the revs this season yeah he's been kind of invisible in this one haven't seen much of him as I take another Swig off my Parker pilsner yeah I and Jeremy you're right uh we Jeremy says we don't need to commit the mids forward every time sit one deep so it's not a one one to one for against every defender in transition I agree as goalie uh no I'm not treating Durk Durkin like a dog although I guess that did kind of sound like that didn't I but back to Jeremy's Point like yeah U Durkin needs to be the one that sits deep Len is the orchestrator he's the Maestro he's the one you know that can send balls in the box with uh with expertise I mean yes L's got some two-way ability but like you know Len's you know the thing that made our jaws drop last year about Len was his ability to Advance the ball and uh you know put these beautiful crosses into the box like you got doen for that Durkin just stay back that's all we need you to do be a Terminator you want to cover every blade of grass on the defensive half great do that all right um Luen is the line breaker so Durkin needs to range east to west where the north south that's fine yeah exactly that's what I was saying cover every blade of glass in the defensive half that's fine that's wonderful that would be appreciated I agree with that though that's the good point by m needs to cover East West not north south it's like it's like his Compass is broken long shot blocked by Len speaking of which yeah Ryan yeah I agree Ryan Durkin thinks he's a box-to-box midfielder he's does he have that in his locker yes is that what we need right now no he just needs to be a defensive six that is all needs to be a ball-winning uh defensive midfielder that's all he needs yeah Kan I missed that emotion too when Castor scored that was a good that was a good time good time while it lasted just didn't last very long like that like that one girl in high school it was great well it lasted just didn't last very long sad very sad as I'm having flashbacks to my high school days back when I had hair it's not the only reason I'm wearing a Dortmund uh had here by the way not just the troll if you just join me by the way I'm I'm just totally trolling you guys at this point although I am a Dortmund fan I actually am a Dortmund fan but just a little less so now that uh what happened happened also I'm I'm kind of falling in love with Heidenheim so um yeah you might see some more Heidenheim stuff behind me in the near future actually hardle forward over to the right side there winsky playing up high do we want to see that guys uh goes back to Hebert Hebert occasional left back now Len into the box for Durkin do we want Durkin taking headers we were just talking about that with Durkin like what th this must this has I agree with with Jeremy what you said earlier here um yeah Jeremy what you said earlier it seems like a shift tactically at this point hackworth must think that we can just absolutely keep punching New England in the mouth but now look at this here they're on a 33 break here back shot off the post that was almost two to one and once again we didn't have men in the back we have to keep Durkin in the back crossing the Box headed away yeah stop playing Durk and so forward that that is that is going to be my my gripe for this game if if we end up losing this one Durkin where are you there's Kessler there's Hebert there's horn Durkin did not appear at any point yeah Jeremy we cannot do one to one defend are we just not taking the revs serious enough like do we think I I mean like I said earlier that it felt like we were kind of bullying the revs a little bit by playing on the front foot but like we still got to respect them they're not San Jose shot outside the box wide okay so yeah once I mean once um once that post hit well after that post I mean the revs didn't have much after that but like we keep opening ourselves up for counters yeah the goal post um in your head in your head post post post post post oost o maybe we need to make that a chant someone sent that to Florida noise can't keep taking credit for all the chance um it's pointless for durin to try that if lenardi can exactly yeah um we we durkin's got to stay back for the love of God stay back here's another counter for for the reevs outside the box going to fire a oh je berky what the hell what in the bery was just completely Frozen the the post has betrayed us there cuz I went off the post what in the hell did berky think that was just going wide and he just gave up like yeah what happened there I want to see the replay that was one of the weakest goals I've seen us take that was a nothing worm burner of a squiver yeah what okay so we just we were just dogging Carl scale earlier yeah I think berky thought that was going out and he just kind of I mean he wasn't going to get to it anyway to be fair with the way he was positioned but yeah yeah that's not that's not good it is not good at all oh God weren't we just happy weren't we just having fun remember when we were having fun remember when Kessler scored that was great that was piss poor and yeah we haven't seen a berky glitch like that in a while but BBB fans knew he had it in him by the way I'm actually going to walk away for a moment not just because I'm disgusted but because this dortman hat is like a size it's like one of those all size one size fits all hats and it's like squeezing my brain right now so I will be right back and I'm going to go uh I might have a cry or two later I don't know we'll see okay I'm back and my head feels a lot better now as we are going to have a corner Jeremy I don't know if that was a back thing or what it's just not a goal we give up there no I agree it was just it was just bleep it was absolutely just bleep teacher is back it's fine settle down get back in your seats back in your seats you Johnny back in your seats back in your seats yes Mr Nelson don't don't tell me you're blocking me don't give me the block sign back in your seat there you go yes I have to slam Johnny Nelson and every one of these watch alongs corner kick hardle going edge of the box to Hebert but headed away still keeping it alive though thank you ref and the ref's going to stop it so is that going to be a is that g be a free kick actually I think that's a free kick yeah Mr Nelson's too busy with a smart watch list and yeah Mike saying that was a weird shot did the turf affect it it looked very much like a shot going wide and the just didn't roll as it expect Ed it it was just it was just weird I mean and maybe maybe it was the turf I don't know I it definitely looked like berki just thought that it was going to going to go yeah indirect free kick okay Chris why you were wearing black and gold for a game involving Boston is beyond me uh do I do I send some Brad marshan tears coming uh from wherever you are in this world right now that's totally fair by the way oh no Angus I'm sorry my brain squeeze took him to another commercial uh damn analogies for a m sorry about that sorry about that by the way you're a member like why are you getting commercials I don't think you should be getting commercials all right now it's going to be Len on the corner kick first corner for Len we just talking about that earlier the uh who takes the corners Len or hardle it's been all hardles so far but they're going to give Len the shot that yeah is kind of crazy this first half is almost over kind of a low Corner bounced a little bit we're going to get a chance to try again thanks New England appreciate that now again for the uh timer I will have to stop it at 45 uh so um just a heads up because I have to continue it in the second half there's no way for me to actually like restart it at 45 so yep Steve says I cannot I can't not like Heidenheim after last year but brother Stuart is your sister city well Sasha Fox would be very happy uh um our uh the German YouTuber that came to St Louis last year who's a friend of mine he's in South America right now he'd be very happy if I became a sto guard fan because that's his Club all right corner into the box by Len deflected and coral 45 and we're stopped there we go so we are in at a time we got three minutes of added time um but yeah I mean I I thought about shoot guard but you know what Heidenheim is a town of 45,000 it's the size of Joplin Missouri they're in the Bundesliga they're on top of the bundes league at least they were before today and they they played two games this year but like they're also in the Europa conference League they actually made it at the group stage of Europa conference I mean you love to see it you love to see I'm I'm very much on the Heidenheim train uh seemed kind of weak from Len maybe you can dial it or maybe Len wasn't feeling it or he was off that's why cello was taking them that could be that could be there's another shot of the uh squibber go there and look at B and like bergy's body language he immediately realized like dang it just dang it that just that that that's a look of a man that realized uh maybe he should have jumped out for that one oh well I see this timed out so maybe we uh oh it's still there that's good troubleshooting that's good so still stuck at 45 this is the technical uh difficulties edition of the soccer zombie watch along uh Jeremy so if math is mathing if we lose this it'd be 23 points Dro from winning positions if we draw it's 22 points from winning positions this year yeah yeah yes and start your stopwatches everyone was like the old days definitely I'm just thank goodness for Amazon for this this is like like one of those like really weird off Brands like you when you when I bought it it like it fits the purposes of this channel very well but you're always worried that if it's actually going to work because as heird is uh it's aome cotton o Hebert took a River City ramble special uh Chris Chris Zimmerman I think took one to the nose uh in year one so Hebert joins the uh Chris Zimmerman uh nose Club ouch but yeah this is one of those off-brand uh digital clocks like you're how I like you're kind of worried if it actually works when when it gets out of the box but it does Kane yes Jeremy sometimes you don't have to tell the truth all the time sometimes you can fib a little bit sometimes you don't have to say anything at all that's that's fair and not because I'm sad over that sad or anything not definitely not yeah Ryan Ryan has a good point if we drop only half those points Jeremy we are comfortably in playoff position yeah that's that Ryan's math is mathing because yeah we would be in the playoffs for sure speaking of off Brands River City ramble the whole podcast is built on some cheap offbrand mics that we took a gamble on well there you go there you go and you know what and you being the sound producer that you are the sound engineer you made it work I've never had a problem with uh even when I was listening early last you know before the season last year like you never had a problem with the audio with you guys well I should say us guys now but yeah oh who's down now who is down now holding his knee I don't like that that's vasilev that is vasilev hey uh Mason I may uh I may have looked in the same places for my audition and also my uh Premiere Pro if you know where to look where's that drunken sailor song from earlier uh you know while we're talking about places where you can find audition and Premiere Pro I mean I feel like this song's appropriate now that we're talking about piracy [Music] you can still find some things on that drunken sailor's site but you definitely have to be careful but there are there there are better places talking about piracy should be halftime any moment now yeah this is kind of this is kind this kind of has that feel to it depression this it started with such problem too and it just kind of kind of blew up in our faces we're the club that sucks and we also have depression it's a great great combo by the way if you need to know what time it is you can just look at the clock behind you it's it's there it's also Saturday as you can see and it's currently 73° in my uh my apartment actually that's pretty good for my apartment actually like my apartment gets a little warm Mike is saying the music makes me think the ship is sinking kind of I mean it kind of does feel like we are sinking in this [Music] one it is also the uh the 7th it is the 7th of uh September that is the 9th month of uh the year in case you didn't know that if you didn't know that um congrats you you now know [Music] it this is the longest 3 minute stoppage ever there we go now we have hit halftime so yeah we are uh we are not um H all right we'll we'll we we'll take the drunken sailor off for now here 2-1 revs how are we feeling like I know we we've got some depression stuff going on here but yeah we got an entire second half things can change this is a soccer zombie watch along after all uh things can uh can definitely change this watchalong is a live raft I mean again the whole reason you know one thing that is good about these watch alongs is that they are therapy for moments like this we can all get together and we can talk the ship has sunk already did not expect bery of all people to go full Bozo I did not expect that either I probably it's probably because I hung a scarf is that is that the reason is that the reason I paid 40 bucks for that scarf plus tax like which is probably way too much to be honest with you but it's berky and I'm kind of like I did this chant for him perhaps you've heard of it so I felt obligated to buy it honestly yeah a lot a lot of half chances and yes Mike points out MLS Ro games very hard and we make them very very hard like we play on like all Madden difficulty it feels like when we play Road games Mason saying the sun only just went down so you never know what it will happen it's almost time for MLS after dark it's darkening out there it's not fully dark yet but when it gets there things can happen things can and I might even whisper for the rest of the way which would be very weird and all my viewers would go away I have 22 viewers right now thank you very much by the way for that yeah um Aaron how's it going Aaron uh my uh Houston traveling buddy a rough first half that started so well feels like pre-lease cup City definitely Angus depression and too many computer screens surrounding me I mean I got two of them going right now so you can see that there um yeah Mike is trying to make this into MLS after dark and you know what I could use some entertainment in my life right now uh baby Yoda has not made an appearance yet in this watch along uh we'll see if I need him in the second half MOS ASMR uh yes that calm feeling of halftime when it's two to one and your team is trailing and you need some calm in your life okay that's weird okay that probably just got really weird see I my viewership just dropped like four at at that point so like yeah that's that's a problem Jeremy created a few chance half chances nothing Stellar offensively got tactic wrong in terms of defensive support need to make adjustments and leave the first point uh with a minimum and at this point seeing as I see that the banner is updated now and I am not omnipotent that must have been producer Mason doing an excellent job producing now he's graduated from audio engineer to a streamyard engineer look congrats on the promotion I had that thought right it was like wait hang on I'm in here I can do that can't I yes yes and then I and then I clicked on the banner button and I was like can I remember what Tom showed me and then my first thought was no I can't I was drunk when he taught me ah yes yes that the the the the everpresent problem when you when when you're dealing with St Louis City is alcoholism there we go uh that's my that I have I have that problem a lot of times but anyway well this team makes me want to drinks so there you know there we go it makes everyone want to drink sir so yeah there's that this it's I really thought like especially the way that we came out like right like like on top of it like we were on it in this game and then just just just completely lost the plot I don't know what happened like like I get that like okay so there's that one flute goal where like you know Kessler like slips and falls right like and like you know you shouldn't give up those breaks but like we still play like a high press system right like we don't press as high it's more like a mid block but like it's a high it's a it's a it's a quick trigger High Press right like we still play that style even though it's a little bit more concer ative under hack and so yeah sometimes they're just going to Spring behind you and they're going to get fast breaks and that's going to happen and then yeah you're you know when you're when your uh Defender who's back there blows a tire um because the first thing that he said when he got traded to your team is I hate that [ __ ] surface I don't want to [ __ ] play on it anymore yeah what are you going to do um and then what happened to berky on that second one man like that's a gimme and he just looked at it he just watched it Go in uh Tom I think you are muted I am muted actually hello there I don't know how that happened but here I am because I was talking earli live audio production as well little bit but there we go got to love it yeah I I I they just showed a replay of the uh the goal that uh berky fluff they also showing by the way St Louis has a XG of .92 to New England's 67 so that's always wonderful when you're on the wrong end of the scoreboard but like no I I thought you know berky I think he just misjudged it I think he thought it was going to go wide he didn't have to make a play on it and in watching the replay I was I was looking for what Mike was saying about how maybe the turf played tricks with the ball a little B yeah I I see in the chat just took a like it took a bad hop yeah yeah yeah I I and and it l and it looked like that ball on that second goal was hopping around a little bit like it was It was kind of hopping very weirdly so but you know what Aaron Aaron has a point though is it too easy to just blame playing on the crappy Turf instead of grass is it I think the problem I think there's two things here and just my completely uneducated thing here that I've noticed number one I kept saying recess optimism earlier as Mason has disappeared there you are you're back um uh Reckless optimism I said earlier I wonder if we didn't respect the revs very much because of the problem number two durkin's playing way up we're generally playing way up we've been talking about you know we're playing on the front foot we're playing on the front foot but then we have been getting crucified you know by these counters like the revs to be fair you know they have they have been able to put up a very nice counter against us that second goal uh was a good examp well first goal was a good example of that actually but like yeah I wonder if we're just not respecting the revs enough Mason um it's it's kind of seemed like that was the fact I I can't necessarily say that I blame them but like you know we're fans and like at best pundants right they are professional soccer players they need to know that they need to be up to the task every single time right we can disrespect this team they can't right yes they're B they because of the parody in this league there's never a day off you are never really getting an easy opponent and like the 13th versus the 13th going like this is like I made a joke about it like it's a mid off but like that's what this is man like these are two equally mad teams definitely it definitely is um yeah it just it it does kind of feel like that and it's just but it's just at the same time though it's still disappointing to me though because like this is I mean I I don't think there's an argument that we should be up right like 2-1 right now but like it should be like one to one like easily like one to one or still one nil it just yeah we we have to tighten up on defense and the thing that bothers me is like I noted later that like nnsky was playing up as well and it's like you're playing two defensive-minded fullbacks way the F up like I I see that Aaron just said that same thing is like isn't Jake playing like right back defense I didn't actually see your comment when I said that Aon but yeah good point um but yeah like that's that's exactly the point that and like that's also what I thought when we brought because that's exactly what he brought in the LA game was that defensive shape and that stay-at-home right back and M also pointed that I was Wonder winsky hasn't stayed home enough Durkin hasn't stayed home enough I you heard me ranting about Durkin earlier like Durkin h i I don't care change the tactic if you're telling Durkin okay you can play further up stop it stop it like you said Mason he needs to be East West not north south yeah um because Len is the line breaker right he's the guy that that switches that that kind of runs the in between between the CDM and the cam right mhm and so if that's his spot then Durkin can't also be doing that Durkin needs to not necessarily be just the six but like if he's going to cover ground he needs to cover it back and forth from side line to sideline not touch line to touch line yeah and and Jeremy is also saying and there's a couple others uh uh he's thinking that nnsky needs to come off looking at the revs attacking they have been most impactful on their left which is our right which is nnsky side also Kessler's side as well so he he brings up a good point it seems like the revs are attacking towards nnsky side and I'm wondering if at this point you do bring on totland you know it's and and and there was also an argument that Mike was making uh that was making as well let me try to find it here uh yeah have we trained enough in a three in the back system so it doesn't turn into a route I'm wondering if maybe it is time to not just bring totland in and but like also maybe bring you know a Yaro or G gwood Reich on um and you go three in the back with the fullback up because at this point if we're going to play our fullbacks that far forward and durkin's not going to want to stay back put someone back there that will stay back there then unleash him yeah and put in like yeah then let Durkin go put in like jgr who can stay there like right in front yeah I don't know let's I I think that it might be a little premature to do a fullon strategy like that but um I think that hack is going to have some very strong words for people in the locker room during halftime I'll say that much um I I I like Chris's idea put a leash on Durkin have berki give it a good yank when he gets too far forward I like that yeah I guess I I I feel like like at some point it's like I feel like that's kind of has been the idea and and like I love Durkin I think that he's a great player and I'm very happy to have him on his on on our team um I think that Durkin doesn't respond well to being yanked no he's kind of like an English bulldog in that regard like you know you are not going to win that battle you are just you're not you're not going to win that battle because uh Jeff makes a by the way Jeff makes a good point here so we saw vasilev go down holding his knee looks like he's going to be maybe okay but like he's asking do you chance Rasmus Alm and Jo klouse on the turf if we're talking about potential Subs cuz Al would be like a you know a possible replacement for vasel love if he can't go so do you risk Rasmus Al in this one well I think that Al would be or I don't know because like it would be like if Indie is injured you would make that swap for corus again right like they did in the last game yeah um clouse I don't know maybe you just let beter run it out and you just let the guys run it out I don't know um I think that that depends on game State I think if we get down to the wire and we'll we're still down by like one you throw them out there and you try to get one if we're down by like two or three or if we manage to get a lead and we're holding a like if we're holding like a two goal lead you don't do it if we're holding a oneg goal lead you throw them out there if we're trailing by one you throw them out there otherwise no I don't think you do I and I agree with Ryan I don't think this is the Rasmus Al time and definitely maybe not the Rasmus Al game if you're worried about you know future injury um if vasilev can't go in the second half then yeah you throw Thor out there there's no reason you shouldn't Thor has earned the playing time for nothing else and you you don't want to risk all so uh and then Ryan also suggesting clouse might be a final sub I can see that I can see betra going like 80 85 and then maybe klouse closes it out I see B going a full 90 I I think you you put clouse out there to get a different shape you don't necessarily pull a beter because he's doing poorly um yeah I've I mean like honestly I've never seen beter doing poorly um I would actually say that this is a game that would benefit from playing m the reason you don't put Al on there is because it's on Turf and you don't want to aggravate his injury that he's recovering from that's like the only reason otherwise you start m in this game and you play him the full 90 because we need whatever the [ __ ] it is that all has yeah so yeah I'm definitely agreeing with Jeremy and Mike here that it's the issue is is our mids are just vacating and pushing forward and I think that's the main issue here is that we need to have our mids especially Durkin stay at home more I think that's the that's the clue James suggesting if there's a time to experiment with the three in the back now is the time maybe it's rash maybe it's not I mean we'll see what they do um we'll see what they do by the way speaking of the blue people from Kansas um can we uh they he's Jeremy says they're drawing did you see the attendance at the USA and Canada game today they didn't draw flies for that game but I I but I mean to be fair it was very close to their Copa America game which is a problem of US soccer scheduling it so close but yeah but also like weren't tickets for that game $40 they were cheaper than the usbekistan game here in St Louis and we and we still Drew 17,000 so CMP got 5,000 and we got 50 186 yeah shocking uh AB exactly exactly I'm not bitter or anything like it it does you know it's not like this is any kind of thing to me or anything but no no not at all you have absolutely no personal acts to grind at all whatsoever um by the way couple of housekeeping things here before we get into the second half here I think we're still uh um a little bit ways away from from that um let me go ahead and share a no you your joke Ryan is that true that was the last game played like like Kansas is oh okay no you're okay I was going to say like no that was the last game talking about national teams okay yeah I was like yeah definitely I was like there's no chance in hell if that was the last game played at Children's Mercy this whole season that that would happen couple housekeeping things here real quick number one the soccer uh zombie Jersey is still up for order it's $49 technically pre-orders ended yesterday and if you've ordered a Jersey by now first of all God bless you thank you so much um I bought they going buy yours ah thank you Mason appreciate it and uh they should ship out um within about uh you should get them in about two weeks is is what I was told so like if you ordered during the pre-order um they should be working on them now and then they'll get them shipped out you should have it in your hands by 2 weeks and I'm looking forward to seeing um those uh jerseys on you and in your in your uh um pictures of them as well I'm and I'm just really curious to see what they look like in actual person too because you know I've seen the pictures the designer did a great job with them but like when you see like you can attest with the River City ramble Jersey mason that uh when you see them in person it's a it's it's it's quite a feeling isn't it yeah it is um the game is back on so maybe not now but okay uh post game I got sidetracked we'll talk about that later yep all righty sounds good I'll talk to you post game all right I sorry M all right yeah I completely lost track of time there Hawking my stuff there's never enough time so um we are going to play a game here um we are going to add a minute and 10 seconds to that so uh I think I will have to give you time stamps on this one I just got completely I don't have enough computer screens it turns out to uh do all that go figure but we are back yeah buy all my jerseys so I can afford a third monitor so I can actually monitor the game I could put the game up on like my actual TV but um it's kind of a weird angle and I would be like I would be like doing I be I would look like this the whole game too and we just like that's not my good side it's not my good side uh right so Thor is on uh Indie must not have been able to go yeah Jeremy pointing that out as well so yeah hopefully Indie is not hurt too badly I mean we've got reinforcements oh I see a city kit in the uh did you see that um in that shot before nowinsky threw that in there's uh there's at least one city fan in attendance all right looks like uh revs are playing a bit of a press now trying to keep us pinned in the uh defensive third here all right we are moving up the field slowly but surely now here is toy toy shirt over to hardle hardle lays it off in the box that was horn but it is cleared away oh the second thing that I was going to show you if I had more time which of course I did not have more time and now my clock is off um let me go ahead and share that with you here [Music] so actually let me give it a moment here see what St Louis does here Thor in the Box cleared away by the revs still alive though here's Len In The Box deflected ball bouncing around and the revs finally make a decisive move and uh clear it away so you saw I have zombie soccer zombie stickers um on olivan New York as well.com but if you see me in person I'll have one for you you don't have to charge anything here's the thing that I was working on though and I'm working on it for the supporter section I am starting a Discord server um I feel like I'm way behind on this because I feel like River City ramble has a Discord Server chat City tactics has a Discord server the punks have a Discord server I'm late on this because I'm almost 40 and so like I'm not hip you know I've not been a big Discord guy but I am working on a Discord server here I need to actually like sit down and like actually work on it but yeah that is uh currently in the planning stage right now and I'm going to make that available at first for supporter section members um and then I'll roll it out to uh everyone else eventually as uh the revs are now going to have a corner kick one reason I'm starting the Discord is because uh I uh I like chatting with you guys you know I I think we have a good we have a good group here a good community and uh uh I wanted to continue off off these watch along so I when when the Discord server is ready I will let you guys know but I'm uh I I'm working on it lumped forward oh I think that's going to be a foul and a dangerous free kick coming up as Veron was taken out that's King King Kess with the yellow there got tied up I want to see the replay is it is K is everyone that is it raining no one there's no way we're that sweaty there is no way we're that sweaty I I guess it's raining everyone looks very sloppy all right so let's watch this replay here with Kesler that's a bad foul Henry you are not getting away with that that was a full-blown arm hook that was a terrible foul terrible foul yeah it is raining thank you meteorologist Kane um does a goal a slip and a yellow count as a soccer Gordy how pretty much yeah anus also pointing out at his raining too um we got the weather channel here uh Heavy Rain actually yeah look and I just saw the shot of berki looked like go was coming down pretty badly here see the ponches out in the stands free kick on net High see berky that one was going wide so you were fine to stay there yeah heavy rain and you know what this this is kind of scary now because again we saw vaselov go down with that knee injury because of the you know and I don't know if the turf was to blame for that or not but like yeah Kan it's raining I I'm does rain and turf make for a good mix I feel that would be kind of scary honestly I've never played on a the new type of turf in the rain before so I I have no experience with that but to me that doesn't feel like an optimal combination by the way this clock is a minute and 10 seconds off cuz I'm smart and I keep track of the game yeah rain and turf suck no control whatsoever that's what I thought that is what I thought it's raining it's pouring St Louis is not scoring our offense is snoring yeah Kane maybe it was a good re good that you didn't go to New England for this one because uh as Ryan points out this would be a terrible match to be at in person but uh looking at looking at the stands there's plenty of good seats available so there's that it's raining it's pouring berky got caught snoring yeah maybe we'll make that a chance send that to Florida noise humidity of Foxboro is 100% so basically it's like St Louis in the summer that's that's nice yep blame Kane totally blame Kane Kane you're guilty straight to jail cuz you're not there Kane that's why all right attack for New England shot blocked goes out in the Box berky Miss handles it do I need to be worried about Roman B bery tonight do I need to be worried about Roman berky lately like remember the Portland game so let's see here it's a shot yeah he just took that badly have I seen your chant for SKC Thomas remind me remind to me yeah berky is having a stinker the rain is melting bery although actually it RS it can rain its ass off in Dortmund so like I he's got to be used to it like did you see like like the Euros the one game at Dortmund with like the lightning and The Heavy Rain like yikes yeah the other one he berky definitely blew screen on the uh on this one that he went up yeah that's probably I mean it probably was a little slippery you're right bounce off the wet Turf may have fold him yeah that's true and and again it also kind of took a u a strong hop you know right when it went to him as well cuz he kind of took it off the chest mayen we'll play the turf for that one too we love Turf here on this channel all right nnsky has it out wide does not pull the trigger on firing it into the box lven back to nerwinski nerwinski actually you know what we're going to do yeah I'm just going to give you time stamps because the time's off so that lasted for 23s of the game um it is 5520 at Mark now we're a proper watch along oh and that's a tackle by lven that's going to be a card that is going to be a card actually I'm going to replace the clock Al together because if I that's the one thing with this clock if I'm not like licky split on it oh I just dumped my cards if I'm not licky split with it then there's no way for me to fix it especially in the second half it's unfortunate you know who we have in these type of situation in these trying times not urgen Klo baby Yoda baby Yoda can can take the spot of the clock so janis's horn is out jow klous is on wait what so first of all they're bringing Claus out in the rain on Turf which is frightening second of all he comes on for our left back huh so we are playing a true three in the back with nnsky I guess as the third Center back we just not playing with fullbacks and we're playing with two forwards beter is still on so we're playing like a 32 32 that sound right yeah it it's like yeah it's like a 32 32 basically I mean if it works it works as betard has the ball moving forward got Claus on his right but he'll feed it out to hardle on the left hardle caral it okay looks like Thor and uh hardle are playing more wide to kind of compensate that makes sense toy Kurt up hardle shot oh go made a nice save on that one that was our first real good chance at the game uh outside of the goal that we got from Kesler yeah GD indeed oh my hardle all right speaking of which gets it dispossessed and they clear it away 5755 at Mark Case you uh came back wondering hey where'd the clock go I I didn't start it on time so if I don't start it on time I I'll do better next time I promise first game bugs rev's now going to counter can we get bodies back Cedric toyer is one of the three bodies that are back for St Louis um Thor is back there as well our positioning no actually no Mason wasn't your fault it was me I was trying to I was trying to be Shameless with uh with self-promotion there and problem is I did it on the same screen as I have the game on so not optimal not optimal but yeah what is up with our positioning today and and card who got the card another yellow what happened I was self lamenting City getting a lot of mustard on these Confluence kits tonight definitely not a good uh kit if you want to get uh um if you want to uh avoid getting stains you know the Confluence kit probably would highlight a lot of stains all right cross into the box Far Side just a little too strong St Louis gets a reprieve there 5930 coming up at Mark by the way this is my first time actually having a Parker pilzner I always wanted to get it at the game but I could never find where they were I guess maybe they're at Hellcat but uh pretty good stuff actually shame won't be around for much longer probably gee I wonder why how do you get stains on Turf that's a good question actually like I guess the paint like I I whatever they use to you know make the turf green I guess maybe that where's off my f m is just letting me know that Jo Klaus has been subbed on little behind there f m but I do appreciate the effort all right here is the shot attempt that was a good save that that was definitely goal bound hardle could have had that one but that was that was a good save by the goalie to be fair credit where credit is due all right we are now countering with Hardo going up the middle up forward to K clous who lays it off for Thor good layoff there Thor's got Space Center it in the middle this is very promising although it's slowing down can we recover we're ping ponging it back and fourth and hardle with the ball now over to Len Len crosses goalie has to make a stop on it he does and the ball goes out of play I feel like that was a missed opportunity there a little bit we definitely had the numbers it just our attack got bogged down towards the end there I mean good Ball moving like in very tight space so like we don't really usually see that from City you know being able to play the ball in tight space like that actually was I guess that was more of a shot by lven that go had to make a stop on throw by nnsky in the Box New England's dealing with it and who wants it it's just going to go out of bounds yeah he's definitely got to put one of those away definitely and I agree Thor Thor just he's got his pluses he can he can he can definitely hit a wonder goal when he wants to or he can ye it into the seventh row um I did I do notice that's a lack with Thor though he just is he's not the most instinctive player I definitely agree with you there he seems like someone that you really need to play in certain situations to take advantage of Kane forgot to hit send earlier but the stains come from the rubber underneath that's fair all right Len takes it out of the box gets it to Durkin back to Len centers it for clouse forward to Thor Thor Thor what are you doing Thor you are clear Len Lefty in the Box hooked just wide God bless it Thor I'm going to watch the replay here yeah Thor just Thor put a freaking foot on it God Thor you make me so angry put a foot on it if it's deflected it's a corner if it's saved there's a juicy rebound you have to have a hit at Thor for the love of God justify your continued minutes on this team for the love of God I agree with everyone that I'm highlighting right now yeah I appreciate the unselfishness but yeah what we were saying earlier about Thor having you know lack of instincts I agree Mason and but that's the thing though with Thor is that like one of the things that he does well he does have a good shot shoot it yeah Mike very very suboptimal 5 me from goal got to shoot it Ryan I agree God this what was I saying earlier this team makes me drink God that makes me so angry you will not get better clearances all game at goal than that and just all right into the box Thor lays It Off but then New England deals with it going the other way 645 coming up at Mark yeah I agree Mason was in the middle typing a pro Thor message too geez Sean is that you is that you Sean defending Thor cross is high and out of bounds Kane I need a win not for the points but for Tik Tok idea I have only if we win oo I see that I just got Tik Tok again I I didn't have Tik Tok for the longest time but I got it again debating putting some of my stuff on there I don't know i' I've I don't know how I feel about short form content like it's it it's like Eli ler does very well with it I don't know I don't know I just I might do some stuff on there I may not I don't know I do have a Tik Tok account and I think some of you have found me on there uh at tomf Frank on STL it's it exists I I posted one video of it though and it was at a glory pro wrestling event when uh um mono Suzuki came to town that's like my only video on it as Rasmus Alm is in the game he just came in for Cedric toyer toy uh yeah toy Kurt that's what we're going with now so yeah they are going to risk grasm on the Turf wonder if Thor goes to the middle now or if he goes left and hardle goes middle we'll see how they line up here as revs are back to attacking but St Louis deals with it yep Sav us Rasmus Al uh believe it or not that was Mason saying that not Mike good body by klouse to win the ball back yeah alms on the right yeah hard's back in the middle Thor's on the left that's what I that's what I thought they might go with hardle very comfortable playing up the middle during his time at St ply prob one of the first time oh long shot by Len and the goalie has to make a stop on that good idea and they will go out for a throw for the revs you ever feel like you were just saying something and you're going to make a point and then you forget what the point was that's me right now Len almost to a lot yeah that was I mean heck of a shot that you know goalie definitely had to put some effort to make a stop for that oh I just saying that hardle uh he primar plays center attacking mid at St ply could play on the left but he he played center attacking mid and he's played mostly for the left for us this might be one of the first looks we've seen from hardle playing directly up the middle all right Al with the ball now looking for an outlet revs seem very content on letting us camp out in their Zone already Len cross back post looking for K clous defended and now it'll go out for a corner oh look at that clous and Parker together again Ah that's still Bittersweet about Parker I get it but it's uh I love me some Parker I miss him I'm I'm drinking his beer I've got his scarf up and I'm wearing his jersey I I'm not over Tim Parker yet hardle going to take the corner kick on the far side going to be an inswinger headed away n winsky though going to head it back in towards the net Thor now forward to klouse it is dumping buckets out there as Kessler toes It Wide I can yeah it is just absolutely pissing rain right now 6810 coming up at Mark uh Taylor Twan saying something that Mason agrees with Len is one of the top five ball Strikers in the league that I agree with I actually have him muted I have the uh commentary muted right now I don't want to be distracted so Durkin is back up top of the miles covered board he has six miles covered so far in just under in the 69th minute nice followed by Marcel hardle pollster and harks and then beter also has 5 and a half miles good to see from your strike Rec covering that usually I mean that that indicates what we know about beter and that is he is very willing to um not just play forward but he can also come back as well that's why I think he I think that's what makes betra such a nice compliment to klous because klous will also come back and um do more than just you know shoot the ball BET's kind of the same time type Jeremy can we talk for a second about how much this attack changed with clouse a lot of division among the fan base but he can't deny that he has changed the game I mean we've been on the front foot since he's come on and I think with the change from horn to klouse I think that changed our Dynamic completely I I totally agree with that it's like how long have we camped out in New England Zone since clouse came on uh Len to clous by the way uh betra going to try to fight for it Durkin recovers to nnsky nnsky over to hardle hardle looking for a friend finds lven over to klouse and New England's going to go the other way after a bad pass thanks ref for killing that Counterattack good ref Mason's hearing from uh um reporters from the ground that is raining in Foxboro Kane is Al also hearing that as well big if true uh Cloud's trying to be a little cheeky there against his old buddy Tim Parker oh clouse I saw Claus try to kick the ball away like did did did did Parker like take a like touch it before or what what happened there exactly all right yeah Mason saying Claus is the guy no one does it like like him beter has done tremendous to stop the bleeding but he's not going to be the clous replacement replacement no that's Josh Sergeant by the way Josh Josh Sergeant is going to be the clous replacement do anyone have any $22 million lying around but anyway um no um again we forget how good klouse can be I think klouse we've talked about it ad nauseum clouse was trying to do too much in the first half of the season because we lack quality of front we were down bodies and it just felt like klouse was straying away from what made klouse klous because he felt he had to do more um and Claus is also very streaky goal scorer uh when he's on he is absolutely just lava but then you know when he's not he is you know lava rock basically he just he just can't put can't buy a goal but there's so many things that clouse does that that he's still great clous speaking of wi headed but little high and klouse is angry with him on that one maybe could have directed it a little bit better who's he talking to there like is he is he is he like you know just barking at himself yeah headed a little bit High dang dang dang dang that was a good chance though yeah Josh Sergeant for 42 million pounds absolutely not I agree I agree that would be such a bad signing and so not St Louis all right we have not scored in a while it is time for a music change there we go attack is on sh it's in the net Simon says it's time to score let's go to get Chelsea a place in the Champions League final the headline has been [Applause] written right when I changed the music right on Q Simon says it's two to two come on you felt maybe the Breakthrough was coming we have just absolutely owned all the time in New England Zone um as B pointed out beter really good Hold Up play but then yeah goal speaking of clous toeter are we going to see more of that going forward is it time to go to Striker so yeah it was hardle getting it into the box it's deflected actually clus didn't touch it he just laid it off for beter big awareness by Claus to lay it off for beter uh clouse and berkie bark yep uh beter that klouse dum absolutely um Justice for Mason about klouse absolutely um get in come on and of course the revs were actually down to man because of uh injuries so yeah very nice dummy to beter um that see that's what clouse does he that's what he can offer he he offers more than just simply um you know putting goals in the back of the net he does we're talking about Thor's instincts or lack thereof I mean K clouse has all the instincts um God that was so nice so nice come on we are back in this one we are back in this one there's still plenty of time left to get a goal 7420 at Mark so we got at least 20 minutes to go in this one still a lot of time lot of time The Vibes Are Back The Vibes are back but the revs are threatening but it's dealt with by Kessler and cleared so yeah no more parking the bus for New England I mean how many oh that that camera is needs a wipe down but how many times have St Louis had the lead in the second half and couldn't hold it on that was like our biggest Bugaboo All Season New England had a lead couldn't uh hold on to it h interesting now a Counterattack here's Thor tries to shake his Defender he does gets it up to Simon beter who gets it dispossessed all recovered pumps the braks on a shot now New England's going to go the other way after the turnover oh the RS were down because of a uh they were too tooken too long to get a um a sub in so that's why Mason is feeling The Vibes right now he is so high right now I also need another goal so I can get a point in Garts tournament I mean we're losing ground Mason we are definitely losing ground to uh uh is it Bird that's still on top of the uh of of that uh of the charity challenge like bird is the like you know go prediction Whisperer yeah bird is basically wi it I agree all right here we go Jo Jo Claus going into the final third he's got options ahead of him chooses Thor who is late to it he wasn't expecting the pass then he takes down his man and um Thor doing Thor things something something Thor's instincts yeah yeah Thor Thor stopped the run I don't know why just inexplicable I think it's time to accept that Thor is not the guy he's never going to be the guy get well Celio please like Thor has his level I just don't think it's MLS is it for him consistently he just lacks a certain something in the Noggin yeah he's he's 24 years old and Thor is just a guy he is just a guy he's not the guy he is a guy that is a good description for Thor does pass it to Durkin though Durkin uh can't distribute because that's it's Chris Durkin um hardle trying to win it back doesn't falls to the ground but dreves knock it out of bounds yeah I mean Thor's he's fine for depth like cu cu he can he if you need him to he can come off the bench and and you know most of the time do a job but like if he's starting you're you got problems I don't know how much we're paying I don't think we're paying Thor that much I don't think we're paying Thor that much can anyone look up the uh salaries uh for MLS um that report and see what what Thor is making I'm honestly curious I don't think he's making that much though um Mike clous had the vision saw the play and Thor did not see it at all yeah because Thor has no vision all right revs threatening nice hold up off of M cross in the Box bodied rev are calling for a handball on St Louis we'll probably see a replay here in a bit but rev's continuing on here ref allowing the play to continue chipped into the box berky Corrals rev's players still upset though they think that there was a handball Mason thinks on the top of the head Thor's making about 250,000 is which is not bad it's not if you're if your backup Winger at the level of Thor is making 250 it's it's not terrible it's not silir Pedro money to put it that way cuz I think Indie vasel is making like I think 350 I think and vaselov is the better player the twoo I think that's if we're basing it off of that it's fair long ball ahead finds a man Simon beter who's trying to box out a Defender tries to get around him now but actually it's Tim Parker that was boxing him out and Parker wins that battle you're not going to win too many of those one-on ones against uh Parker uh but uh still alive though hardle in the Box tries to shake his Defender shot oh goalie makes a good save though it was right at him though hardle ball back in the net it's hardle go Mar from St ply with love although wait a sec nope it's called off called off never mind they called it time out I was thinking that might have been a foul on hardle yeah so the shot is saved yeah that's a foul and hardle that's a yeah in fact actually you saw on the bottom of the screen the ref's the the linesman's flag went up yeah that's that's a foul that's I'm not going to argue that one it was called back that hardle put a good body on him to be fair that's that's going to be called that's going to be called it just will hardle I understand your grievance you you like seeing him being physical but that was a little much it it was a foul bummer bummer bummer oh well you guys got a free Nevel gasm though I had my hopes up too it was a brilliant finish good effort it would have been 3-2 would have been a point for me and Mason in Gart challenge ooh now are they look are they now looking at that handball oh I think they're looking at that handball now I think that might be a valid hand I need to see another replay of that I think it did go off his arm we go we go from 3-2 up to possibly 32 down because of Fate I I think they're deliberating about that handball from earlier Durk it's uh actually it's Hebert oh that's a blade that's a handball that's a handball you St Louis city SC in 2024 this is what we do we score then we don't score and then it would not have been a goal anyway because of a probable handball this is what we do cuz Hebert's arm is clearly like going in a that's that's a hand that's totally a hand yeah good question about the revs where do they keep finding these great shot stopping Keepers Matt Turner Georgie Petrovic and now iic yeah it's good point 12an is saying it's in a natural position H I'm embracing for contact as well actually you know what it it we're we're talking about handball so we need uh we need the uh proper music here it's our mortal enemy the [Music] handball I'm sorry that's a handball wait they actually didn't give it they didn't give it all right we're fine we're fine we're okay now we're okay I still don't know what a handball is I I still don't we we got the call I don't know how I don't know why saying a natural POS that's not a natural position that is a handball all day like I'm not complaining I'll take it fine great but I'm back to not knowing what a handball is which I guess I've always been in this position maybe I'm I've never left all right yeah Time to Get Hype final 10 minutes or so Ryan's confident we're going to score here oh this game giveth it taketh away it threatens to taketh away some more but then it giveth and now I'm making a bad analogy all right 84 20 at Mark I mean Jeremy the explanation natural is that you're bracing for contact but like it should have been given if I yeah that I feel in the past that would have been a handball all day long all day long I mean I'm fully anyone checked the uh MLS subreddit the match thread is how many refs fans are now complaining that uh St Louis has the refs in their back pocket right now I I want a tally because I'm sure it's a lot right now and I honestly think they might have a grievance as n winsky is leading the attack on the right side things you don't necessarily relish seeing is it time to take nnsky I mean nnsky had I mean he's been fine I guess but like do we bring in totland now or is there something going on with totan maybe is he in hackworth's dogghouse like I would have thought that by now you would have brought on totan because it's 22 you have a chance to go up but I guess maybe maybe it's a formation change yeah actually that's thanks for reminding me we are playing three in the back you know want totland to be on the back wow the announcers saying New England has not had one penalty kick all All Season that's wild I maybe give Girdwood Reich a chance there yeah yeah I I forgot Jeremy we were in a three in the back um foxity Jacob play both yeah that's fair you're not wrong and and I don't think watts can play center back either so that's not an option either so we got a good look at J Reid who has come on for Simon vus we're back to four in a back now it looks like beter had a good game though beter had a very good game I'm I I continue to be very impressed with beter I also do agree though that if klaa is fully healthy and and ready to go I think Claus is still the starter but like I feel great knowing that beter is around you know to be a very solid number two he feels like he feels like the joini replacement for sure so yeah if you want to put totland on now cuz we we're four in the back I think this this would be the time although let's see we've had we had K clouse we had Thor we have Reed we still have Subs I I think we have one or two subs left oh Al came on so we have one sub I think we have one sub I think well it's the revs that are on the front foot now Ryan as uh headed away though rebound thinks about a shot nope near side pass back to the near side outside the box into the box nice diving Header by Heber to get it out of there 8725 coming up at mark all right come on City come on City I I don't like how much New England is owning the ball in our Zone the last minute or two to be fair very patient buildup by New England not forcing anything although we're and I mean we're also keeping them at Bay as well they they're playing all on the outside we've not allowed them to even knock on the door of the box which is good oh they're saying that went off of M Al's not very happy about that one okay time for The Vibes time for baby Yoda we are getting down to the wire here so all right Mason calling for another Rita hardle hookup give him the one timer yeah we've got the bodies for that [Music] now 89th minute now 89 exactly ooh almost an Aaron Cross there New England really slowing down the temple Mike has a good point here maybe hackworth thinks Reed is the best attacking player left on our bench you may be right actually that's a good point Red Bulls have tied the villains those blue people from Kansas let's go Red Bulls all right New England still attacking here would love would love nothing more right now than to see a St Louis counter a really good St Louis counter but can we spring one New England really applying pressure to keep the ball in our half all right Durkin out wide is this the time cla's trying to advance it now to read but it goes out coming up on 90 minutes even coming up at Mark yeah Jeremy it kind of looks like we stopped we really have kind of Pumped the breaks a little bit all right here we go though klouse Durkin 6 minutes of added time dispossessed but Durkin back on it Reed back to Len oh that's a foul yes that's a foul Durkin got clattered there good job Durkin I'm okay with you playing ahead at that time though I mean that's I don't think it's I don't think at this point of the game I don't think it's bad for Durkin to play high up I don't think it's bad but yeah uh suddenly we're not winning the Midfield again yeah um almost in range of a direct shot but not quite I think I think Len's G to I mean we've seen Len score from [Music] here here we go free kick into the box driven it was a direct shot Parker deals with it though Al tries a long shot it's blocked durkin's going to go back feed it back yeah it was a little uh little far out yeah Len made from Vancouver from there I remember that goal that was a beauty I mean I completely lost my [ __ ] when he scored that one uh-oh turnover revs countering oh good tackle good tackle by rasmas River City ramble favorite rasmas all right baby Yoda one with the force the Force is with me I'm one with the force the Force is with me New England is attacking the Force is with me St Louis needs another goal so I can get a point in get heart's charity challenge the Force is with me all right I don't like this from the revs though H but you know what they they they still are they're having a tough time passing they're they're having a tough time connecting passes so All Right Far Side into the box cleared away good job nnsky with a terrible pass almost saved his ass yep man of the match good question good question um here we go Counterattack klouse maybe the man of the match can be determined here here's Thor Thor advancing the ball over to at hardle but he's going to try to get it to clous and M yeets it field goal kick is good man of the match hardle it's a good question I thought beter looked really good tonight um it's a good question all right field goal is good all right about 3 minutes left in stoppage time [Music] time Ryan's giving the man of the match to beter it's not a bad shout honestly Kessler man of the match he Revenge score but then he kind of negated that by allowing that for that slipping on that uh first goal so hardle here gets it out wide to Thor Thor can he make the instinctive play he can to Len Len will shoot it it's blocked Len goes down wasn't touched revs trying to go back the other way maybe Yoda help us now resev countering 23 on the near side looking for a ball in the box but it's going to go to J re J re is going to settle it Advance It Forward all right 2 minutes left to go here in stoppage time Thor gets it up to not quite K clous wasn't a bad idea rev's going to try to pounce get the ball back into the St Louis final third Far Side St Louis has everyone and their mother back right now so it's going to be hard for New England to get the ball through here although they're going to try here from the outside ball into the box headed away yeah just too many bodies in the back for New England to do anything yeah Mason with the APT description for this game it seems like this is exactly when we signed up for a battle of 13 versus 13 and this is this game has just been very mid um the rare boring soccer zombie watch along probably why I only have 14 viewers in here right now at 22 earlier then I went to ASMR mode and chase people off Yeah by a minute of stoage time berky's not t he's taking his time I guess we're playing for the draw now welcome to the Battle of mid and Thor with a foul about 30 seconds until a final whistle presumably I really hate being in this spot where we're holding on for a draw I hate this I hate this I hate this I hate this question is our season sunk if we if if we draw or loses I mean if we draw this one is our season sunk free kick up to 18 into the box oh thank goodness they had their shortest player trying to go for that header because that he been a little taller that would have been dangerous cross into the box gets needed out of bounds Jeremy I agree it feels like points given away again I'm divided I'm you know no I'm I'm not going to I'm not going to I'm going to be assertive here game over by the way the Battle of mid is won by no one I'm not even going to do like a recap version of this honestly this this game just was ass I'm not happy with this I'm not happy with this I we should we this was winnable we had too many errors in the Midfield we had so many positioning issues tonight um we weren't even that scary on offense except for that stretch in the second half um yeah it just the quality was lacking and yeah the draw kills kills us and kills them both all right all right producer Mason so um here to do a uh postmortem on our season now because I'm pretty much I think that's we're pretty much dead now right not quite but now we have the very tall task of uh this was our e away opponent we now have to beat LFC away and get three points there if we have any shot at it um so uh flubbing this one this hard I don't have a lot of High Hopes anymore man it looked like it's been Rocky right but then like and I had been a pessimist about this season and now now we're starting to look like we might be able to get there if we could just get this one away win and like it's the mid off but they just sold us like their best player like they sold all of their best play and then we couldn't pull it off and it's like no actually no this team can't do it um no the uh there's one there's one last accomplishable goal for this for this St Louis City team and it is to beat the s word out of Sporting Kansas City at home um definitely and I've even got the uh proper shirt uh the word is smoke KT yes that is the s word yeah beat the smoke out of K casy yes definitely what I meant to say yeah we will avenge our friends at Indie 11 on uh September 28th um yeah this just like and you know actually Mike had a uh he's giving uh iaic the man of the match his big saves did the most to keep us from winning and that's true we did have chances and and he did make a couple big saves that save that he had on hardle Oh I thought that was the one man like yeah definitely and you so yeah I I mean that that was unfair I mean we did have our chances we just and then hardle had the one called back because he pushed the guy which that was definitely a foul I'm not I'm not mad about that I'm not mad about that that was a foul yeah if you foul a guy in the process of scoring a goal it's not a good goal yeah yeah now uh now Jeff points out now it means we have to win out basically that's we basically already had to but now like and if we're getting away against Portland and then now we've drawn against New England New England was our like one of our softest away away opponents and we could only eek out a point basically now we like if we have any shot we have to win away away against lafc good luck man no I don't [ __ ] I don't I don't envy you that task I mean how many times has Denny banga just completely eviscerated us I mean come on it's not happening no banga SC terrifies me he's he's he's I mean yeah it's just it's not happening it it's not happening we needed to win this one especially I mean I I get it as Mike points out a lot Road games in the MLS are tough but not impossible and New England's not been playing well enough of late to Merit being overly concerned about it's just yeah it just it was it just it was a very mid game both I mean I think both teams like like how many like Aaron like I'm really curious like what the final passing uh completion percentage for New England was tonight cuz they were really sloppy tonight it was a mid off right it's what you expect from two 13th Place teams right like and they played exactly to that level I feel like it was a hard flought game that game was a lot of fun to watch um both teams looked like [ __ ] um they both looked bad yeah like like like like the Portland game like if you were neutral like you know that Portland game was like oh my God this is so fun 44 oh my gosh Anything Can Happen the Kuba America game if you were neutral was probably very fun to watch yeah like those games are a lot of fun to watch because like you look at the table and we look like underdogs and like you know Win Lose or Draw like those are really exciting games uh especially when we make them that exciting this game oh these are two teams that suck that are just beating up on each other yeah Jeff says that both teams were about 80% or in the 80 percentile range in the half but it just it just looked like New England had was a little discombobulated um we didn't I thought we I thought we handled the ball I thought well we did we handled the ball better we looked a we looked much poor much poorer than we did in the G Galaxy game which again or I guess I shouldn't say again something that I have been thinking of is that we have a really bad habit of playing down to our opponent yes we are consistently up to the task of taking like consistently up to the task of being the David in the David of Goliath may we do not know how to play a David versus David game and maybe that's why Tim's bucket hat says away at lafc is going to be easy points yeah I I I like the optimism there he he also says he's just kidding cuz he's he has a brain um yeah I was going to say like no it's not but but like this is this like so many time but I will I will say this so many times this year with St Louis the issue has been final third final third you know we get the ball into final third we don't know what to do with it I feel we do know what to do in the final third now we've seen that tonight a few times again goalie made a few big stops our issue tonight was just the transition defense was is just poor and I think and and we need to really figure out okay Durkin needs to stay at home he needs to we need to we need to unlock l i mean I get unlocking Len you know because I think he of the two he seems more uh apt for being a box tobox type you know with maybe more emphasis on the front box but like so many times this game it just felt like where's Durkin where's Durkin when when when the revs are coming our way getting balls in the Box where's Durkin I um and that's his job we uh um um our um friends of the shows uh ball watching did an interview with edu Len and they asked him about like what is your favorite position to play and edu said that it's the position that he plays right now which is kind of the six but mostly like that box to boox midfielder right it's a more Forward Thinking six yeah yeah but like he likes to kind of play like like I I guess like the eight is I guess more what I meant kind of the eight yeah um yeah but like he likes to like be put back on the defensive line but then play like push forward and it's cuz he likes to play both sides of the ball it it box tobox midfielder right um I uh and then he said that he really appreciates that hack just like like unlocks him and says like if that's what you want to play then go go play it yeah I think hack needs to tell Durkin reain it in you need to stay back you don't get to go all over the place if if Len is doing this you need to stay here Jeff makes a good point it did rain its butt off in the second half and it did feel like the game really slowed down a lot just in general like you saw both teams kind of you know adopt a more patient buildup that didn't help um Mike notes playing good teams who like possession really suits our style of play but transition teams like New England take advantage of us uh that's fair uh poson boy n says he'll take that point of course we needed the three I I I I'm beyond taking the point right now we either until we know we're doomed too late to take a point yeah yeah we're we're past that I think um pointing out that the berky error cost us to I I I oh God I I I feel I don't want to pin at all on bery it feels mean but it kind of was wasn't that is that is just look man like cuz like when like before before Dortmund fans all hated like every single person that lived in St Louis and wish that they could like gas us to death um um oh God when we signed berky the people from Dortmund were like oh you were getting a club Legend we love this guy he's one of the best Keepers we've ever had you should know he has some howlers in him and we were like all right yeah sounds good and then we never really saw a howler from we just saw it we just saw the Burke well we and we saw a couple howlers in in Portland as well from him and well at least one for sure so yeah I I guess I guess we're seeing the uh think that in Portland those were Howers that they just it made him look mortal because like that's kind of I think the other thing is that berky in MLS looks like a superhero I I I talked to you about this like judging Ben loot against uh Roman berki is that Ben loot looks like a really good goalkeeper up against a superhero and then like in Portland uh berky looked like a guy like he looked like a good goalkeeper rather than a superhero this was a howler that was a Bry howler yeah yeah and and and good discussion here Mike pointing out that Gil is goal is strange he'll study it it looked like hell was destined to go wide but it rolled weird and stayed straighter I need to watch that a little bit more as well but then Kane follows it up not to defend but sometimes as a goalie there shots at even weak like that you just know you're not going to get and I will say this in the defense of berky on that goal it looked like that he was going one way and then the ball kind of went the other so like it would have been a hard for berky to even make a stab at it with this way momentum going would broken his ankle yeah yeah and we and they're playing on Turf and you know we have enough players with leg injuries lately so yeah and also like we also know that like berky hates to play in Seattle I don't think that he likes playing on Turf um I'm surprised that we even managed to get him play this game or in Portland but Jeremy also with a good point here it's the effort parallel to that the Cardinal fans booing a guy for not running out of grounder the first we'd have less of an issue if he at least tried I think that's a good point if if berky did make a stab at it I think because I think the issue I mean the main issue is just he just I mean he stood there and it just looked bad if he made a dive at it and he missed it does it look as bad I don't think I I looks better it look it looks better on Optics um I think that um uh yeah I think that that Clues into another thing which is that um the best fans in baseball are really [ __ ] stupid and they don't know what they're talking about yes preach preach preach preach but uh yeah um couple other good points here man of the match for Jeremy Tonight Is referee Tim Ford for not giving the penalty kick to New England on the handball so I thought that definitely was a handball but then we kind of go into like Jeff goes into like if could maybe you know berky doesn't misplay that if Kessler doesn't trip if Thor shoots instead of laying it off I'm triggered by that I'm so angry at Thor for that I I as uh as bucket has hat says I don't know which which player you want to be bucket hat for but bucket hat um it looks better but diving on the turf hurts like a [ __ ] and that is true I someone I I feel like berky really really hates playing on Turf I I think that he is like like he's kind of old and he's like man I don't I don't want to do it anymore it's going to tear me up even worse than I'm already torn up and Kane actually also point out the ref made a couple completed passes as well so you know yeah there was that good game for the ref I haven't seen I haven't seen that many drop balls in a game what's the ref XG tonight uh that's what I want to know uh bfib by Ryan saying that they're all passion Merchants that don't actually know baseball yeah that's that's been the case with them for a while honestly um one Mega oh that was definitely not a handball it hit his shoulder what what were you watching when has that ever mattered I mean well true but like I it definitely on replay looked like it hit hand like he was doing he was like thrusting his hand out and it kind of hit it um well me that cuz like that call that like the call that like like the the Hebert one I think I think I think that's what I think behind his back and so it was like he was trying to like get it and like it hit him like in the back as and that's the one and well that's well the the one where Twan said it was like a natural motion like it to me it looked like it was Hebert kind of like like he was like swinging his body forward and kind of like it was he did kind of one of these um again I'll look at the replay later I don't actually remember that I I guess the most important thing to remember about the hand rule is um the handball rule is one um in MLS the natural position rule is actually not in place that is exclusively an EPL thing that is only a Prem rule um UEFA and FIFA like you know or I should say not necessarily you but FIFA does not have that natural position rule it is if it hits your arm above the shoulder it is a hand ball um what FIFA defines as the shoulder uh is up to anybody to figure out well as Kane says the rule is however the ref is feeling that day yeah ex exactly because there's uh because uh um the MLS rule is the FIFA FIFA rule which is if it hits your arm it's a hand hand ball um as long as it's below the shoulder and so like sometimes you might get a guy that like hits you like like it hits the ball like here and they'll they'll call that a hand ball sometimes you can get a guy that hits you out here it's like no that hit his shoulder and and then you [ __ ] Throw your arms up and you start shouting and you throw a brick through your TV and I I don't know your TV yeah um but like also like I mean like the uh the prem's idea of natural position or I guess it's not necessarily the PRS cuz I think that used to be the FIFA position then they walked it back but it is still kind of the PRS position um natural position has not really helped that much to be quite honest um it might help a little bit um but I think the most important thing that would help would be some consistency in coaching because I think that's the biggest thing in um in in why everyone in MLS is mad about the handball call is um no single ref calls a handball the same way no that's right if we had a different ref maybe it's different yeah um if there was some more uniformity in the way that the handball rule was called whether it's strict or loose like I don't care which way it ends up going but like just a little bit of uniformity between ref from ref cuz like you know the ref will call the game the way they're going to call the game but like mhm the eventually at some point the leak has to be like okay no it's called this way right like yeah speaking of things that are variable fotmob rankings so um fot mob had New England sanss as man of the match with an 8.5 they had hardle at an 8.4 but here's here's and here's why Mike thinks that F mob's player rankings are a bit drunk they only give iaic a 6.6 no I I I think iaic is a very deserving shout for man of the match I think hardell has a case I think beter has a case but I a 6.6 get out of here that's that's whack um bucket had making a good point here though I hope we see more of clouse and beter up top as they look pretty decent together I agree with that like when when they were on the field together they looked they looked really they played well off each other nicely I wanted to talk to you about that because I know that we talked about it I think on RCR um where I Flo to the idea that berer could become clouse's new joini and and you said that like well beter likes to play alone he always played alone at slooh and he's always been the lone Striker do have you changed your mind after seeing this well well few things number one sometimes you don't know what you have until you try it out and I think tonight we saw that it worked I I'm not I'm not trying to put you on this spot you're fine oh you're fine no you're fine um no I appreciate the challenge but like the other thing too that when when I I I I when I said that I did remember that I think when he was in Vancouver he played in the two Striker formation a lot so um I mean maybe he does have that in his locker but like yeah sometimes you just don't know until you actually see a player for your own eyes or see a system or scheme in your own eyes and yeah I'm very intrigued by a k clous beter partnership going forward the only issue I would have with it at least on a regular basis is that those are your two Strikers right now so we don't have an end dinin you know to be that change of pace guy you don't have a third yeah like the best you have third Thor and uh yeah I'm angry with th right now yeah I yeah I know like um we see what Thor does in space when he's got a you know a pretty open net he tries to pass it off you know 10 feet behind him um yeah he played pretty bad this game I do think that he was he was getting be Sean is Sean has taken so much of the BR we made him be a Thor fan he wasn't even one before we did this to him and God bless him he took it on like a champion and then now his player sucks um but honestly like no like Thor is a he's a good death player he's a good guy to put on like Off the Bench in that kind of position um that play sucked um and I think that people are going to rake him over the coals because we saw a lot of play of them like saw like a lot of shots like like that out of him when he was being asked to kind of do too much if you know what I mean um he's fine if if you ask him to come off the bench to play like Wing or like possibly even like you know like if it's clouse and beter replace like beter with Thor he would I think do okay there well and and and bucket hat makes a good point here BET's was 100% due to clouse making a run and pulling Defenders to him thus opening up that shooting Lane Jeremy follows that up but uh there was so many moments where clous made dummy runs or attempts that made open space and beter goal was a good example of that and I think I think this is where we can actually see klouse I think really blossom in this current system right now because we now have so many guys that can finish toyer hardle beter um Thor occasionally um I mean yeah we clouse can truly be that Decoy Striker he can you know we like cuz because I think that was the issue with him in the in the first half of the season is that yeah he can do all those things but no one besides him can put the ball in the back of the Nets well I okay so um I guess discarding Thor because uh he's a toy that we don't want to play with anymore um so so beter doesn't really quite have that ability to pull Defender on runs right he's more a holdup guy yeah um but clouse obviously had it he he's done it several we've seen him do it to open up goals or open up opportunities for goals um you know we talked about it extensively uh on that uh hardle goal last week uh even though hardle didn't use it he just one- Ed it um yeah so if if klouse can make like if clouse and beter are like the one two strike pairing and clouse can pull all of those Defenders away from beter and widen up that lane and then make beter wide open for hardle to feed him oh my goodness and Mike and Mike makes good point beter can learn to make those runs to pull Defenders for klouse who oh then we really in business that'd be great but you know what on the you know the the inverse of that works because as Mike points out Bard does seem to have a feel for when to play behind klouse and when to push ahead and let klouse distribute like they have that they had chemistry tonight they actually legit had chemistry and Mike makes an interesting comparison G and white have that thing working at Vancouver which by the way G and white are one reason why Simon beter is no longer in Vancouver because you know once once beter cooled off they it's not because he was bad it's because it's because he was going up against golden white yeah yeah and once and once that partnership became Elite it was like now it's like bers you know on the outside looking in so and off off a part Partnership of klouse and beter in St Louis good wouldn't it be beautiful to make a partnership of a beter in St Louis yeah yeah and then and then and then all we need to do is just sign Josh sergeant and then we got a nice three-headed Hydra there I don't I don't want to pay $43 million say anyone got 43 million lying around like like like I I think we'll definitely have to sell the naming rights to the stadium um if we if we do that at that point um let's see other comments here um one Mega oh defending Thor saying that his past was brutal but he's still underrated look there's things that Thor does that are good I think he has his moments he definitely has his moments I think as a depth Winger he's fine I think that th catches too much flag um he's been kind of shoved too far forward and he's uh he's taking too much of the brunt of it it's not his fault he's supposed to be kind of a Death guy yeah that's that's quite possible yeah he's he's a really good Death guy he's just uh yeah all the fans hate him because like yeah he's not clous basically yeah I kind of like the you talking about like maybe you know bet and cl playing together uh see you bucket hat have a good night by the way um I think we're going to wind down here as well it's weird to be actually done with a watch along at 9:00 I know it's only 9 I feel like I I feel like I should be like preparing to watch you know do a watch along cuz we've been had so many late nights lately it's why I was late to the pre-show CAU off guard yeah by the way uh Chicago Fire 97 losing to DC at uh SeatGeek in the 66 minutes so if you need something to watch after this there is an option for you so anyway I think that's going to do it for me I think um um we'll talk more on the River City ramble uh we'll probably record probably Monday at this point you think Sunday I'm gonna be at the bronze Boot all day tomorrow so well okay that makes that easy I think then Monday though yeah Monday have it out on Wednesday because I've been very lazy lately unless unless you we want to just go Mike uh you and Sean then you know we can have you that that would be fine um by the way if you are going to the bronze Boot game anyone going to the bronze food game drop a comment in the chat I will have stickers I got a batch in from olivan York I know a lot of people when I posted them on Twitter they're like I want one I want one well you have two options you can buy them off of Alvin York for $3 or just find me at a game and I will if I have any left over I will give you a sticker for the price of nothing so can can you set like uh like three of those aside for me tell you what now that now that before I forget yes I can do that um let me go ahead and take those out there we go and then by the way in case you are wondering the uh soccer zombie stickers look great on bougie mugs there you go there there it is right there by the way in case you're wondering why I have a Louisville city sticker on my Yeti mug no I've have not betrayed St Louis City St Louis FC rather I wanted to commemorate the Frankfurt match which you can see the Frankfurt sticker right under so well and also commemorate the king's cup right yes long live the king's cup the king's cup is dead long live the king's cup absolutely I I I've got enough St Louis stuff on that thing to counterbalance the Louisville City they also I know you got to get out of here I don't want to get start getting into a fight no is no you're good you're good um all right I about to start being like the reason why we have to you have the US Open cup is because then means that St Louis city can play uisville City well the other the other reason I have a Louisville city sticker on that is because like when I bought when I was in the team shop and I bought something from the team shop they threw in like six stickers so I was like well I got to use them so you know may as well um but yeah so thanks a lot for joining the watch along I wish the game was a little more entertaining it had its moments but as uh many of you have said including Mason it was a battle of mid and it ends in a very mid2 two fashion win outs or we're playing for pride at this point so anyway good to see you all in chat uh thank you all for hanging out with us
