Jay Heaps, Revolution defender

In the yes that is right now on the eighteenth the hotline ATT your world delivered. It is jay heaps the longest tenured member of the New England Revolution who perhaps could be tapped this weekend as the US national team. Is set the date on Haiti in the gold cup. Triple header coming up tomorrow it's what stadium. Will you be on the field tomorrow do we know they ship because this is something that's been that on your radar for a prolonged time to get a chance split for the national team.

You have yet not a question at a I don't know yet. -- final of the -- practiced -- but. Definitely. It's been up -- The united. Both these I don't have any control so obviously they're ready get -- get facility can.

And and the chance to play for a team that has a lot of buzz right now I mean this is the national team with. That was in South Africa we all saw what happened is they made that improbable runs in the championship game -- it to be a part of this mix at least right now with the national program where it is after what happened. In South Africa must be just a great thrill just that alone by itself whether or not you the chance to play tomorrow.

Sure and -- it has been it's been it's been really exciting. Thomas's great atmosphere around the group in and the united it's almost -- it -- players you know you always. Place your country in in in deep part of it so in those last couple last couple weeks have been yours -- expect forming. We acted -- and I think this -- it just acknowledged even just being. A special soccer player here can be -- watched the games from you know from here I was of the rat so that they could just captured. A lot of soccer -- I think with a year -- to -- it has more expectations because you know. It's even done so well tonight and step up when -- updated. And a pack up what if not what some as an --

Today it's kind of an off the while question here let us. If you were the commissioner of world soccer -- you can change or improve the game in any way shape or form possible what would you do.

Well well violated. At the debate over -- and incompetent management and really got to send just hearing all this it today.

Today or not you're not step it into any traps. Yeah and honestly. You did give an honest answer if you see something -- I have some pretty whacked out theories about socket you're totally don't wanna hear about but I'm just curious as to what you think.

Well not and I. -- there's. You know that a lot of different things that and being -- that I am I've been around for a lot of years to the you know certain will rule change I mean. They just subtle. I'm I like I like the waiting game is but I think you could. It'll. From the ethnic you can do that little partial win when players divers and -- ground there's certain things like that as a player. I don't like that you know like a defender he tackles someone that is state Godown. Bishop who need it feels right answer period that's that's my belief that it is the played out of the -- he put down. Kept that are injured right off the island. Some space in the magical spray and they are back with it that this time I've been deleted it. You go if you go down they account for more than emitted and that's ship because it on the ballot for at least two to administer it when should keep taking.

Because if we know this valujet you're not gonna lay on the ground there and wait for the stretch to come out and trying to draw Clark for somebody you're not going to let your body be targeted by that so called magical -- you're gonna. A great play right I mean you can't you're not gonna fall into that.

Not that they remain united in its just he's an intimate these guys -- now worse and then there's been that dot -- get hit -- heard -- question about it but I'd still like. It's there it's taken advantage of it. As a way to that there can be led and the in the.

Pilots like best case scenario you're on the field tomorrow evening against the -- your plane with the national teams -- the gold cup trying to get to the quarterfinals. How -- the level of play be elevated compared to what you've been used to here for MLS.

Well you know what. I -- in the epic -- and -- there's it's native of the quicker. That it. There's there's -- you know and it's more microscope and -- watching it and there will be higher.

higher test against but I mean just from you know from from having been around program a lot.

You know the big game to date -- you know the kinda. Speed up the latest little I think these guys involved the pastor. And I've been around not that the revolution for many years in watts -- Kind of go. That direction anyway I think the game's pluses is -- really speak up and actually. Very physical the -- watched and noted it's got -- better.

It's in ninety with the rest a lot of -- and MLS. I know the team has just been battling injury the revolution had been battling injury nonstop all season long right.

Yes it has been really testing in just -- moment Steve Ross and there are two main Ashe courage goes -- and until that moment out. And DL right now for a couple of weeks but it's kind of like. In our our our Big Three hundred -- in the Bill Gates was comical when when the kind of media lineup is in the -- it's really tough we've we've been elevated adjustments. But to really do well in the long run. Teachers need to -- players.

Well you hopefully a lot of big time opportunity this weekend we hope we get the chance of the US national team in the gold cup tomorrow at Gillette Stadium -- thanks for your time appreciate it. Much jay heaps on the New England Revolution and practicing with the US national team in medical -- triple header coming up tomorrow went Gillette Stadium with the reds leading off. In the afternoon.
