Brad Feldman

" Plane you know during the course -- you ever talk about soccer and they ended in you don't have enough enough sock counted would now it's your opportunity to step up here it shows exactly what you think about the great -- soccer and I. I'm happy -- to bring into the picture here brad Feldman who's the the play by play -- actually -- on fox more but what is -- fox it's were Dickerson works. Bucks for -- FS and thank you very much this in nice to see it could to be here."

" You're a local guy who grew up in the Belmont area that's right Boston and don't want from injury but shoot you went away for awhile you went to college went to Johns Hopkins University that's correct Baltimore Columbia. You know years and years -- colon and that you went on your merry way across the great it before finding your way back that's right I'm glad to be back out of time to detail all the places that -- deviancy stops in Texas upstate NY all. Now how how did your interest in soccer began."

" Where -- player I was a player of no particular note I was I think a rarity in that when I was growing up where I happened to grow up soccer was just another sport that you played -- What I saw pele when he first came over my grandfather took me to a couple of cosmos games down in New York I was a team and fan is actually the ball boy for division two national championship. Team where their crowds of 56000 people and to me was just another cool sport to play and so it's sort and the NAS cells around at the time so it's sort of surprising when the -- died in all the sun. There is this sort of dark ages period where people thought soccer's really not going to get any traction here."

" Write and edit it it was like that -- for appeared time -- be interspersed here on all this is before you know before the going to revolution came into being some activity soccer wise with the World Cup that's really the only. Soccer that I had experiences except watch my -- games like which is totally different experience. The big crowd the excitement of the sport and it it it it does capture you with -- there. But way is it that people haven't gone to these gave what it what can we do to get people to actually experience -- to make up their -- themselves of its spectator sport for them."

" Well you've you've sample and now Mike I think you know that there's a lot of energy and a great site on the field I think the Gillette's inexperience particulars great because you have -- the soccer celebration activities for the kids -- the fans in. And and I think the main thing is that if you don't you see you'll realize a great athletes these guys are and how insistent. The action is -- soccer's boring I'm late I'm aka ginger might -- for yourself I also think part -- this way were socialized you know people watch baseball date because that's what they're granddad you go to other countries. Yet soccer game on people just accept that without thinking about playing school grow up to it something so you look at you know most people can't throw a 95 mile an hour you know cut fastball -- recognize one. You go to anyway under South America people can appreciate what's going on -- does live on television. Because they tried it when there were 81012 years old and they either succeed or -- they know how hard."

" Some and it is only a question about the what a -- of these people there on that are on the during the revolution and in the MLS it's just it's obvious let me ask you this -- After watching -- soccer game tonight I'm curious as soon as anyone ever done a study tested just how far the average soccer player runs during the course of 245 minute period."

" Yet depends though wit what position you're talking about obviously yeah guys in the outside the winners the wing midfielders. I think running you know nine or ten miles in the game if you're in the middle feel -- it's more like you know 45 -- Arafat that they have -- over in Europe again and the they have software that tracks every step these guys taken. If they run a fair amount the conditioning incredible and the fact they're able to have you know services performed the same tasks as well in 80 nightmare is -- in the first speaks of the."

" From -- I was able to see some incredible skills just right -- played out right in front of me as very close to the field and I I feel privileged to be at that at that point in you know Tbilisi from up that close. Which you don't realize is when you're watching it on -- wide angle camera often you see the guys running around you don't realize intricacies of the footwork of the things they're doing with the ball. And how much traffic they're having his -- through and how how exact and precise they have to be with a passes and at all their you know."

" The ballots anticipation division all that's incredible but in the foot eye coordination fuel but also they're doing these things under. Pressure guys are trying to take the ball off off people sometimes don't appreciate it is typical American sports are your -- it's different control all of your feet. And I know how much of the issues offer from your vantage point -- but they're trying to take each other out as your as the contact sport -- you -- slide through because let's tick his feet out from under. And that is apart that he's lost a lot of American --"

" How big -- art is the it is the refereeing in this sport I know that Michael Kennedy. The other night wasn't -- wasn't doing real well witness stand reaction to summon his calls how does that plane to the course of the game."

" Well yes the coaches and the players oh it's it's a big part of it and there's no question that because a soccer game couldn't get him to one play one freaknik one penalty decision that it does play a big part but I will say this about Michael Kennedy I don't think anybody. On you know on the revolutions I was thrilled the way he officiated in the end it's only help the reds scored the winning goal when he allowed a quick restart free kick caught Columbus unaware they were still argue with him he let the plate on which he's entitled to do. As -- the Balkans completes its and the reds scored its last minute when the games so again by happy yeah. Yeah look at fuel went in the."

" He wasn't hated it quite as much toward the end of that game now a one nothing game. -- compared to a baseball one nothing game for a second. In a baseball game if it's one nothing it's pitcher's duel everything's nervous and tight about the whole game anything can happen anytime you change complexion of the game what's -- like that about soccer except that we see more of them."

" I think you have some great one nothing games of soccer and you have some not so everyone I'm Michael audience that everyone nothing games that brought -- you know no no drugs is yours -- draws that are. Incredibly exciting and others -- the teams are just look like they're going through the motions by. You know. It's different and that each game has a different character character a lot of times in the soccer game. Team gets a -- in you know our third goal. And then the other team scores it can get very tight but it -- you know it could just as easily be -- 40 and it's not you know one -- can making game market closing game down there's no way to sort of you know you know make a general's nation. About a one nothing game of soccer. I get very exhort obviously had -- idea that it him elected I get my my wife thinks I have a problem and -- watch again and she as a rule at the grass is longer than three inches of their tin shacks in the background she knows it's not an important games shall just turn the television. But -- you know I get hypnotized by any of the rhythm of the most is some of the games have a real pattern real rhythm to -- other than a stop start up and down guys killing each other and it read it just varies."

" But you come down to the last few minutes of of Neal -- game and I gotta ask you first before we get into that the -- is nil -- stuff in in in tennis you know we have zero it's love. When you when -- in soccer when you have a zero it's Neil Y."

" Well in Tennessee zero his love I guess it's official it's in the rule book notes you know it's as an application it's soccer types like me pick up. From -- so much of it on TV it's probably bad habit when I'm broadcasting yeah I've actually tried out it is a zero or nothing because I know that there are certain people and who -- don't I'm talking about or think that I must've gone boxers like that -- lightly. It's if there's nothing its artists you know and pitches just -- English people call field he played sport it's a rugby pitch in you know is just Eric hello realism yet to localism but I try not to -- original as much as -- used or."

" But this during -- for laughs you know because of -- tivo maybe over at the game would be epic game -- but I want you say will be one zip. -- I'll just say it's okay for you got that right now that's it is Rwanda when Chinese say -- embargo say that this bill thing is start debate this is good that's all it takes I'm in I got a little packet she brought me here from -- revolution it's nice bag here that looks like you probably -- expect appeared near I thought about anti oh what's this shirts. The revolution it says on the front that's your official shark it's it's the real deal. -- got my neighbor on the back and it's Adam's. My number is no no it's it's 19 they're going to wear that to the ground I mean the stadium and I where -- and feel around the field. It would get our Mike if it gets -- on the gulf -- and look at an immigrant rev revolution set peacock you know why I was there an out of body mind that is his ten -- some -- them and it really really really good time ESP he goes next and so you know my -- I think there's a contagious and is this game that you need to be there in order to truly you know he's great to watch the games and -- and -- soccer for anyone to -- But like hockey. It's it's not the same as being right there at the field and in march."

" Absolutely no question about it and you've seen the crowds been real good the last three games. You know it's been picking up as as the team's build momentum you know the reds are 52 on being their last seven going into the playoffs and -- and the crowds of picked up you know 89000 -- 19000 yeah yeah it'll buy you good -- yet they they opened -- the 200 level the second deck for some of the general mission tickets and yeah they're there's definitely some momentum -- and when their Earth's atmosphere in the stadium it carries the game -- you know and get a sense of of what it what it's like to really be at a game and you weren't."

" Brad felt as Dennis the broadcaster for the revolution now for six seasons and you can watch a month fox sports net if you watch -- game but not in person my suggestion as you go actually go. I watched the game and tivo that's how I do things in it just worked so well that way -- you became kind of far right guests and arch villain of the DC united fans tell me what happened there and why they hate you so much."

" All the I hope well I think they do it became apparent after the last time we visited there goes back to 2005 when our goal keeper memories and I say are -- heading the ball had ignited the New England keeper Matt Matt -- shaved head. Lost out in the goalkeeper of the year award for the league this year which is great because he led in every statistical categories matter but use the team MVP for terrorism here. He came out of perfectly legal play last year in the game down DC clean out their top four to localized area clean slate clean play. But technologies he thought every professional goalkeeper who I've talked to says it's clean there was no foul called the -- no card issued no subsequent suspension fine anything. Now but -- he sustained a back concussions in the head now to be to be clear Reese play the ball in his -- first got to the ball first and keepers are coached to come up. With the protect yeah but he was he didn't throw any at the guys anyway the guy got knocked out cold and missed several months with post concussion syndrome which in hockey and with quarterbacks I have it right now. -- I it's not good if you're trying to score goals arguments a lot of tightened and he was clearly embittered afterwards and you know reason that saying I'm sorry I did it. Made several public apologies I'm sorry that happened I hope he's okay never intended to injure the guy and ski areas response was he has sort of talked hand he's summit in effect if he's dead to me. -- and you know I know that he's even bought it -- even offered you know way handshake person that is in turn down so after he made that markets in their identity we went down there in June to broadcast the game. There's big sign they're saying Reese Coleman did to us in capital letters you know silver on black and we showed on the broadcast I'll put in context they showed the quotes from both players from the newspaper and I said you know questionable comments from the player and classless better from the fans now. You know that caught the year of the DC fans my Internet talk show went a little further and I -- a -- house Greg Wallace not with me and we went back and forth over anyway somebody emailed in Italy they got riled up -- we went down a couple of weeks ago it said Feldman. Dead to us -- yeah you know what I'm happy to be -- erotic you know anything that's there it's a great rivalry it's got like a Red Sox Yankees if you'll -- seeing -- New -- is is is a great rivalry and you know there's -- asked is this series coming up to Chicago and -- a bench brawl the end of their playoff game last year."

" Okay now the 28 is the next home game. And that is against Chicago fire Chicago fire yeah it's game two of the series right OK so that's the that's the playoffs now we're in the first round of the playoffs you're telling me who goes for two games total goals correct. So that you really have -- 445 minute periods you have at each other and that really will determine but the home field advantage for the revolution figures into it because. The last of those two games is plated home if it ends up in a tie the --"

" Exactly while the other way the way it works yet he breakdown -- to have this is the last the second game of the two is played. At the higher seeded teams home so they come back to Gillette stadium and since as you say it's a total goals series in its title over those two games at the end of game -- a -- game at 30 minute extra time period not sudden death you play at the whole half hour okay and -- it still outside -- 00 hours and what was I going to -- and they'll mail yet the evidence evidence as exhibit the end of the 30 that they go to it's penalty kicks from the spot such exciting. It's got great stuff."

" That's about as good as it gets now the degree of revolution has been red hot as you said five -- two of their last seven they earned second place with -- last win they clinch second place for their last win how could this play out for them let's say they deal with with Chicago that it's a one game."

" Yeah and it would be against the winner of the DC New York rubles a series DC higher seeded team they they won the conference actually the best record in the league so if form holds and they advance would be the game would be down in Washington. But if New York -- upset that which is possible because he's he's been slumping down the stretch in the home game would be here presuming that the -- advance on the on November 4 shall we have to do as a revolution fans root for the red bulls against DC. Absolutely see at the home field advantage that's how I want to see more signs of -- More signs it and tougher opponent. Argue I gathered prize laureate you know I need to rest feel like the way they're playing now that take welcome now do the New York red bulls -- they drink Red Bull. Well here is that legal. Well you know what they get -- Red Bull in fact if you go down there they like sort pile case your hands and so promotions happy by it is great because the red bulls came in with a hundred million dollars or more to invest in the team put on into marketing advertised sale it's crass softer. The bottom line is it's great idea pro soccer America is acting a company like Red Bull to invest in the league tells people believe in the marquee Tar Heels and -- the estimate is -- and sponsor a lot of money. What once they got the same dialect lasted there for time scored against the rebels for DC united graphic at a Red Bull took a sip and spit out front of their -- on united gets a pattern that's -- to stuff like that."

" Our way to get to telephone call 617779085885250850 -- bread Feldman -- fox sports net voice. And broadcaster for the New England Revolution do you recall call it's it's particularly spectacular."

" I have and I are Mexican guy scored his first goal couple weeks ago when I was gonna launch into laundries can't door and I look at my partner and I I -- actually lost I don't have a signature. Goal call I'd rather defer to the you know did to those to the sound board."

" I'm maybe some of these guys might recall and might suggest one for you but I have a suggestion for you right now already in the sorts dual -- in the goal -- you go like this."

" Oh go go go go go go go go go go go go go go out local local local goal."

" That place is like trying to follow the Rolling Stones I don't want to say action you probably shouldn't -- ethnic you know if if there was a camera in here people vote that -- day's goal call and -- Sports let's go to Peter JP Peter."

" It was going -- you -- all right. I'm prepping just wanted -- real quick might yet and apparently it -- to watch you on New England cable news quite glad to hear on the radio argument for an I -- the place soccer great school common law -- that plant manager Merrill Cain. And I just wanted to make it sounds so -- you know you know some idea about the game played a little bit. What's that he played a little bit Daria yeah exactly. But if you ever -- at southern now I'm I'm originally from from the factory area. -- so -- lot of Portuguese he saw a lot of keeper -- and they really loves soccer it is they absolutely love -- such big deal I mean you know Portugal and it is here means huge huge huge problem. But to get here question earlier bottom you know how about appealing to you know did Americans and about you know are everything -- every I really think that it goes towards advertising. You know you -- look at that it -- sport like football and hockey stuff you know -- sponsored by a court quieter but see I think that the soccer fans are really drinking court later but they're kind of drinking you know. You know -- or you know -- you know like so great."

" Here's saying it's all about which beer is the sponsor. I'm an -- on the net exclusively on suggesting one former I'll be a more targeted."

" It's sort of ethnic marketing campaign is that you -- me because. I did this the thing and and you correct me if I'm wrong I think that the revolution of forged a really good relationship with the Portuguese community in southeastern mass and Rhode Island but what you come up against an -- scene is over my time -- working with the team is we who we get coverage from the from the Portuguese times in the -- all the follows the azores or Bermuda for for spring training. But a lot of the older generation they'll follow sporting Lisbon or or benfica that the you know they'll blow. The club that they've been running for for generate -- life yet they come over here and they want to fit and they play baseball they want the Red Sox and the patriots. And what we're trying to do is to visit the revolution their hometown team at every kid can play he's more likely to grow up play for the revolutions London then to go back and play for you know -- to my."

" you you're exactly right and end and you're actually. Can kind of alluding to another point I want to bring up which is bad it's really generational thing I think what you guys mentioned earlier that you know lot of kids -- you know a lot of kids you know grew up whether -- their grandfather's what you baseball football whatever. He went when when I become fodder like to be watching need what soccer games you know I mean."

" Okay right and I and that takes awhile to happen but I guess what a lot of the frustrated soccer fans in this country have they've been saying why's it taking so walk well maybe it's because the plate. The sports played here in the United States is much more crowded than it is in other places where soccer is number one."

" There's no question about that but that doesn't mean there is not over to right to take called. Certainly I believe -- opera on years of stock car racing. Can make an impression where there was really no presence at all repartee to same market but nothing's changed I would -- Bruins were the number one game it's on an over the Celtics don't want to humans -- I think there's an ebb and flow. And yet there's with so many people playing from all ethnic backgrounds it only makes senses that it's going to become a bigger."

" I don't mean an -- as solid a sick going to watch I figure out tonight that Peter thanks for the call market Braintree hello you round -- felt"

" or mark Howard -- I want this -- promote the playoffs coming up politically but I very -- maybe as stupid question read but I want to ask about we need people like that's going a basic Intel like distractions in the -- have been faced despite. If spirit patent inside of it so that you could compare weather watching soccer team -- it was more or"

" that's pretty good -- that's funny maybe you want to answer that question that's never happened where you were broadcast well I'd never seen it that way you know it's you know don't waste your time that's -- you look at you know and that the criticism there would be the lack of scoring well isn't that what the NHL just went through -- rule changes to try to increase the amount of scoring in the average National Hockey League game because Americans have this thirst for scoring and maybe unlike you know watching a chess game as opposed to a checkers match that the defensive atlantis' him that prevents all that scored from happening whether it's the goaltender whether or the defensive squad is that's what that's all about that's the game."

" It is part of a gambit you know all the -- worldwide there is discussion of how to increase scoring by. It is also the world games so in the past when MLS or the previous professional league NAS Elton have tried to introduce rule changes that deviate from that sort of if -- the world governing soccer there norm. It's not well received and the league is perceived as not being appear soccer league now obvious yet to balance that with trying to bring in fans but win MLS started 11 seasons ago when they had the clock you know that went down instead of -- had a the shootout. For tie games. You didn't bring at all I don't think a whole lot of non soccer fans that you lost a lot of soccer -- longtime to bring them back I think people feel like the sport as as it stands can stand on its own -- everybody wants it increased. Scoring Brasilia -- there's nothing better than a goal and soccer for -- even grand slam home run it's a huge event and it is there's some people would argue there are enough."

" And that's thats what to do hear from people and and again I I would beckon those people voted to attend a game in person to beef before -- be fully. Make a judgment on sport again I another suggestion to this I was gonna play with you know league officials but -- atomic -- someone who's genuinely interested. How about if they have both goaltenders before the game each have to drink 12 beers. Before they go out there and they are the only ones that can drink and they -- cocked in other basically the goaltenders are both basically cocked are you suggesting that they."

" Knock it. Down in you know Italy's goal goalkeepers soccer all they're like hockey I don't think ultimate -- not during the -- these should be because -- now what's interesting in the guide -- the ball goes in the corner of the net and the guys --"

" I almost at that point."

" Right be funny of they would -- of a fine balance the -- strikers from drinking too and then the scores were good keep the attacking players over the goal here but if you put the beer in the locker sort of thing you can make them play without cops. That's another thing to do original suggestion that cross my mind economic thinking about sports guy brad over the voice of the in the revolution is here and -- quick break and come back you're soccer calls you to believe compensate them on sports radio WEI it's about time US soccer calls -- we come back. Oh."

" yards out. -- Greece in minute 88 chances. Okay 2 -- lead. --"

" Red velvet here on the show it but it -- he had not read as the games revolution gave -- on the radio for the upcoming 12 game adherence portrait of the BI. And the the actual games community -- 38."

" yeah wants on ABC channel five on Sunday thank you hear that and yeah I hear. And then the following Saturday it's on us"

" 38 game two crew for the regional telecast OK so that's that's where it's going to be for the the playoff activity for the New England Revolution now you got some guys on this team -- really only playing well but we're just good players all around an earlier -- of the -- best players in world really all end in Europe archer was that and to what degree can you argue against that."

" The bottom line is there's a lot of money in the big leagues -- three biggest league -- in England Italy and Spain and I think want the F preface it with is sort -- barges -- buried American sports -- not just one -- in soccer and others a lot of money everybody around the world is plain and the big so many leaks there -- so many leagues and Alice compares favorably to league's a lot of European countries but not the big ones there's that you can't argue with that because these teams have. Hundreds of millions of Euro users -- Collins or whatever to spend I'm on players and they they get the best players from Africa and South America but. Analysts is. Fast improving and you know again around the world -- the best players being groomed their domestic leagues some of the very best go off to these top leagues and they usually come back and -- workers and a lot of very very good players spend their whole life in their own country so. It's just a different thing it's not like the NBA where everybody's trying to get there."

" Right or even what's happening of the Major League Baseball knowledge -- 45 countries that that provide the Dominican Japan Korea. Throwing players in the major -- now because they."

" Similar it's just there are dozens and dozens of -- feeder countries and their their multiple. Leagues that are paying out -- cycle the champions league Europe were the top teams from every country play against each other that's it spins off all the huge television revenue majorities in most countries is -- two or three teams play in the champions league. Have a lot of money -- and then there you know another 1518 teams that don't have as much money in the big bigger countries England Spain Italy Germany France where a lot of countries countries that take clubs teams money spent on."

" What's the all time record right now do you know for attendance at a at a at a major league at an MLS during the revolution home game."

" We played for -- 92000 loss. This armored it's kind of disingenuous to say that because it was part of a doubleheader with Barcelona were the champions league champions that the European champions coming in to achieve this from while -- Mexico bought it there to see that. Now before Arctic off 120000 orders to meet the tickets you know junior duplex but when he kicked off. Our game MLS game it was fantastic and the people were into it because -- has a team in Los Angeles to achieve its US it was -- and -- last huge. Cherries are you guys could -- at the end of the game they're fully 92000 people there and they are all engaged in the game and some people Rudy Barcelona fans are rooting for the revolution that's pretty impressed and so that was the record crowd and we experience it is about ten weeks ago."

" Now if you're a kid go to the game we're going to affect our phone calls or just 12 here and we got -- some full line cement sacks for a for brad Helmut give me the top let's say you know every TV to authorities on these of the stars of the team and you know I know the got played on the -- maybe you deserve more recognition who gets the most recognition -- Taylor 12."

" Taylor 12 still the face of soccer to -- noted that about he's the top score use the MVP in 2005 I think Clint Dempsey has now. Equaled him in in -- you know name recognition face recognition number two. He wears number two deuces taxis nickname yet he put out rap video as as Jews so yeah is pretty good he actually has -- I guess some street credibility in. He's he's you know -- pretty tough kid from my. It coaches at Texas and east Texas grew up playing with Mexican El Salvador kids -- little you know -- little -- his name and he doesn't score is often is 12 and -- you know us not striker but Clint has this creative moves a step over dribbles drag Jackson back steals no look passes. And he scored the goal for the US in the World Cup only American played at an own goal against Italy he's the only guy to score for the US in had a good world covenant what was otherwise disappointing effort for for US talk about the crazy"

" he's defenseman right with the dreadlocks."

" Josh are just already noted that under the here he's actually do -- not. He's -- feel he's he's not in the sort of way evidently. You just don't want to mess with she already on the field you know I mean delays 63 and a half where has long dreadlocks very intimidating. He's very smart player he's not just the guy he's not just -- is what he does he -- he's one of the best tackler he wins the ball from the other team and then he's a great passer so. It's the talking you know make people on notice as much as a fancy. Dribbling boozer or the goal scoring -- from from -- in 12 and but he was a team MVP LS your Sharia that he's you know he's a destroyer defensively and then he just has a great vision great touch on the ball."

" back to the phones in Rhode Island it's Alex hello Alex it's happening -- My as a father of 112 girl well I don't work. Knowledge of course Alex you know they gotta be ovary I know what you get this is sort that you know and that naked yes I would say it's not going to help the --"

" I'm just thinking for attendance not for the for the you know these these these medics of the game play or the strategy -- just -- and you know."

" multiple lines of the other revolution academy which he attended last last summer. Which was great to hear you also -- with a club part call came --"

" is a pretty woman ever in the history of soccer would be good enough to play an imbalance I let's take it take Mia -- yeah well she do you think."

" Technically she certainly is the equal of of players Dallas -- I don't the compare the athleticism it's like basketball or go -- speed and strength come into play it right are very difficult to compare."

" It I had a question for you as far as modifying -- and I don't talked about and I heard about from you know beer sponsors to look out but all in expects that it at all stalker. I don't think it's going to -- that will we're gonna I think other things have to come before that. Such -- scoring I think that the up pretty strict on site -- what you basically -- to midfield I don't I think it a out it. If the up the -- side will could be modified may be something along the lines of the blue line where we have."

" Alex I make more I only favor now I've fully in favor of 35 yard line like -- annual -- that you could have midfield break -- But again you have to get it imposed from you know worldwide governing body in feet -- the that's the problem I'm with Alex but I think if you put in -- 35 yard line. In MLS it will be harder to get top foreign players to come. And play in this league because it won't be perceived is as real soccer I agree it would open things up it would be -- the -- the red line and ice hockey."

" Right -- enlarging the epic goalposts maybe heightening a little them a couple of inches on each side making it easier for the strikers to like get the ball in the net."

" Well yeah I would increase -- there's no question about it you know again to me it's sort of like raising the basket basketball you shoot at ten foot all your whole life right register free throws and also -- 106 or let you know whatever it is if you if you modify that and again I think that you. You know the purists will state and it'll never be taken seriously is as a soccer country soccer league. So you have to tread very lightly when you consider those the -- I'm not saying you can't do it back I think that we which he'd rather sees it come conduct -- come Yasser worldwide -- impose on the sport as a whole. Thanks for the call out."

" Let me ask you this went -- when there's I've seen this many times on December the exact circumstances which lead to -- where the the players lineup and a line all the -- Resnick victories to recover their cup area."

" You would -- Are we had there's a cigarette there's a direct -- A direct free kick from just outside the penalty area now these guys you -- scored so shots and in the walls that are used to protect the near post the goalkeeper covers arrested than Nat and your job is that you know you'd you'd you'd hear the sigh beer you don't -- You don't move -- protect you're not protecting -- you're you're nuts and protect your you're sturm yeah. You can you can pick up pretty bad jobs."

" Have you seen anyone get hit in any of those pressure point areas where they go down like you know -- goes Frasier."

" Yeah usually think you know -- those guys are pretty fit everyone's -- shot more often open play it was from real close range that's who run away it's like anything though they -- without a hockey puck or lacrosse ball Edwards notes is Astaire yeah how -- it gets it gets."

" It you know this is why they get the big money out there too. Travis in Rhode Island go ahead."

" Ape like of the Golan -- frantic -- the -- I think it is naval -- pat -- I think you're very I think you that it really yeah attitude is called I think you know it escalated well. It's 80 off sides of the president and I I just you know used the highest scoring game he doesn't really understand the true -- soccer and."

" It can't change stuff like that every like agent pitchers mound you know to change pitchers route from 60 feet six inches away you know to 65 meters something --"

" I like it understated in terms of you know US sports mean you're on the same level terms of people while patriot well well -- back -- are and -- that -- my whole life it didn't -- when you thought about a year ago. Start to watch it doctor and if you watch like these guiding Europe and I love nevertheless you know its huge in terms that village -- French national let. I can't tell you if you watched European -- the English Premier League Blake did it it they got they got LeBron James -- you know Greek athletes out there it's unbelievable. It's so exciting even at the game as one middle of the beautiful game I love football all of baseball well that's where it is equally. So what you're going to get a big show. Police need -- what Yankee all of utley did in the David is that is that America's you know I mean."

" that to Travis is it -- I don't think you should ever -- and he gave you haven't been to in person. Because that's really what the way you get a feel for the game and let's let's face -- you go watch a game in person the next time you watch it on television it makes a difference to you having been their person it's got."

" I just I don't -- guys in the big showed target on the World Cup I mean I love like the World Series I resurrect editing but the World Cup is. The greatest competitions on earth there's no there's no question about it these guys are competing for any."

" Sure better than the strongman competition Narnia's PA. Were they during those big cement bench."

" You can woke up to those who don't do oh boo boo --"

" I think that's a great a threat early during the olympics -- that's what they think it's a great call by the way Travis guy who we need more you there I think there are. More you out there that are willing to speak up because the truth is if the dominant voice you know on sports radio all day it is is. Ridiculing the sport is soccer not ever -- the guts to call -- like you and and say hey I'm a general sports you know -- journal sports I start my sports broadcasting career doing you know Friday night -- football on taxes you know IA. Soccer needs is another one of the major sports I've chosen to focus on but. I think Travis -- he's caught the -- I think they're more more people out there and I think that's the sea change yours over the next period years -- rights to broadcast analyst games. And their war. National TV partners in what but John skippers executive VPU -- yen for for content. He's at we're doing is that political correctness because you want to build the sports soccer because it makes economic sense that's the way things -- added I think it's because there are sports fans like Travis now who watched it exports this country who also watched European footballer soccer."

" And you gotta merely if I'm Odyssey got to go to would game. And you gotta what you want your at the game that you get a feel for the game right on that that's that's a way coast -- in Burlington hi Nancy."

" I have made -- great -- lot like Travis like the car but just Altman and I've actually got to suck flee years ago I've got to -- steam especially test in the -- and play in credit like. Earlier each game at all different characteristic and it is one -- both watching in watching TV is that it does have a characteristic in. You know the thing that I want -- state is that I I wished that that's apocalyptic about eliminating in an outlet in collins' penalty and that the weapons."

" Revolution had what 12 ties so far this year answer that he said the club record overlay at the most ties they've had over the course of the season. Listen I hear about it all the time did you know American fans are you know that that's -- they don't like -- NHL is taken steps to eliminated. I think one thing that's interesting is that you know -- has talked about you know getting rid of the penalty shoot out altogether so the movie is out levels away from that but then last night ideas in the -- that cosmos New York cosmos documentary. And you had guys like -- you'll -- Christ's name naming immunity -- of the great stars European -- in the 70s who came -- played -- He said he loved the shootout he thinks it's exciting way for fans to feel like the game was settled yet it's hard to play for 90 minutes -- 11 time haven't come out delicate sure but it in we played a tournament. Call the US open top which is separate from MLS but analysts teams participate and when you get to the knockout phase after extra time you haven't penalty kicks you out. And the fans go nuts and you've got some idols on Warner so I'm against it I just like I said before I'd like to see it imposed from above so it's part of the world game and American soccer is its use is sort of sideshow."

" Yeah I you know I I fully agree with that the the other thing I want -- You know I've been attended to -- some of the show you know the late 88 -- two down."

" They knocked everything -- everybody that's the way to do you know it's honestly that's not being made fun of on the big show you're on the -- As deep ball lights out but to take any crap most people Nancy you know honestly don't let him get the"

" not you know I I it I think the phone Columbus elected get a."

" Of course like thanks thanks for the call appreciate him it is advocates and it looks like -- but the it looks like -- typed the YB for the T suit says Mon night. I want to go at Monte in Rhode Island Monty or hormone night."

" And my kid -- a month or bill weld but they're not that there."

" A full disclosure Montes. Is that president of the independent supporters association midnight riders those Nazis he done nor -- sure before a unilateral action drama and chant for 90 minutes the best bands analysts."

" Glad it's -- that was my grandfather's name -- and so I apologize for the typographical error we got from our crack staff"

" that I AM brad I have ever questioned network an outward about that the all the rumors about you know being read the -- after for the you know. So are we going to be is that -- be ready for a home they asked him on the net."

" I'm not trying to you view official bills -- year Monty I actually don't know what at that time line is the only thing I know is that there's. My understanding with size that it has to do with the amount of time for news that this ought to settle isn't the issue if it. They put it down on the 25 that means that it would be able to take I don't even know for a fact they're going to do it but. You know I would say that. The approach is to have the best possible -- service -- their pocketed try something like that. At the expense of game on the 20 I think they're doing makes the most sense I but I don't always -- Angeles how how to video mean to players -- sand to -- ally when it's becoming real issue in recent weeks -- keep. Trotted -- the ball got talking about -- you know always a soccer title on that that you guys -- the field. Let's be honest like I'm not dignify that 155 dollars run around a concert that did that right -- the between the stones -- what this field all happen around the stage that's my understanding. There are times of the year win the Gillette stadium field the best fielding -- gets a lot of use this time a year gets less use from a soccer perspective a lot of analysts use fields do because. -- the -- don't -- that youth soccer group that wants to play there what spell check out the bureau happy with that everybody wants a good playing surface you'll correct it was a really good job the problem is that Pakistan about. It pulls up for a half the guys -- around the comes up your service soccer games it beat a flat field but I'm not really I'm not trying to do an Enron on the on the question I don't know what time line is and whether in fact it's going to happen before and 28. By then they're not going to do some its intimate feel worse guaranteed."

" A Monte if I wanted to join your support group over there the end zone. You drive to dress weird do I have to is are these special I would have to suicide just sneak into your section."

" It is just that intersection -- your first call it that it right that you can't be -- in -- back. Sam Adams can't --"

" And twist twist my arm I -- like these these guys drove 13 hours from on New England. Columbus for a game in September -- and I I figured is worth -- them months ago at their destination but as pretty impressive absolutely and I can vouch for the fact that day there keep those those -- business out."

" They want to -- I will join you there for Sam Adams okay."

" Hey Mike if you want to come join his lab rat tat back and tell you exactly where we tailgate. First there's not -- that if you want to come join us you're more than welcome."

" All right sounds refinement thanks for the call it expects that you stick around a little bit and why we got -- lines in the -- soccer calls. Michael army -- to go answered soccer questions into the nights of something I don't know that I don't want to see so it was a ticket Seattle's that no good Brett Jones his stick around stay on hold if you got soccer questions. For the voice of during the revolution here on the planet Mikey -- back."

" Oh this is that -- a vacation day to me nibbling moon. In the lead to a -- and pianist and make sure it's okay oh its leisure in the future. It this is -- yeah and to make sure its -- for its friends and Nicholas some. Anyway here's the yeah thank. -- and it's when he played sports written. Yeah god."

" We'll talk soccer yes we are right here on the program. And it's an invigorating feeling is it's something that we don't haven't talked about the past four and breadth Elvis here he's voices during the revolution on both radio and television as threats are kind of good -- for you. Music and hold on -- at a soccer caller calling myself glitzy moment. This could be."

" moment. These companies for submit some tips we talk I want to optimize Q -- it daily tormentors by the way and you know I I admit this -- slightly embarrassed about as the only the legal revolution player I've ever met I went to a fund -- sat at his table in Boston that I remember was -- for the hearts funders it was yeah I think there was the American Heart Association. And we we talked at an end you know I think got about five minutes he looked it looked at me and said while this guy knows nothing about soccer."

" Like it -- you like right now Taylor 12 dollars sees the cardinals at Arco cannot he was actually go to Kansas City Royals our interest in Taylor. His his grandfather's -- Dell's recently passed away plea for the Yankees tigers was brown Taylor has an incredible athletic background OJ -- PGA tour card and that's mom's side that that late sell -- his -- so telecom companies and and that's another thing to realize that these -- Eloquently pro baseball maybe even in a golfer"

" so he had he had open open avenues for his scholarship to university of -- for baseball. While and then end -- going to play professionally in Germany in any -- me message so so we'll find out what that is our next break 6177790850 talkin' revolutions soccer's there in the playoffs and it starts this weekend. Away so -- they want against the Chicago fire. No way and then back home again on the 28 straight game to the deciding game and I will be there at that game wearing my New England Revolution a T shirts T -- an actual shirt -- Adams on the back number 19 thank you very much -- in Waltham Jared go ahead."

" They have like UConn or you. There wanted to congratulate you like the last hours so he definitely given the rest of their shows spotter to make funny in the worst power in the history the planet might show -- the soccer --"

" Okay Jared -- appreciate that that's about it very intelligent -- that's a guy you know obviously. You know who's at home alone tonight it's just him and that movie you rented so Ali is next to the cars --"

" I had -- soprano aria was only well two things what do you mean -- blare my whole life in advance what I need is part of that part of the game is that I think. And the acting like these guys did you shot in the leg when they did -- to foul and -- want to go to -- book."

" Your thoughts on apparatus that says that a reality is that there is this a reality that I don't like it I don't know how new it is though why I've seen a lot of diving in soccer in certain quarters for a long time I think the one thing -- America expansion realizes that it's not universally tolerated if you go over. England or Scotland and the guy you know makes the meal of the challenge you know goes down fakes injury you'll have 3040000 people on their feet on the guy -- and there -- other places where it's considered more part of the game and I think. With some of these -- bringing in war players' room you know around the world. That you get different kinds of cultural influences -- may be more guys in the in the top leagues who who who will try that tactic sometimes the referee Dick -- I'm against it an aborigine NBA all time NHL at a real problem with guys in the idea awhile to it was to a certain extent -- got -- the felt the -- but there's a lot of people cross to -- I'm I hate."

" Well you know even even the major leagues when guys hit by a pitch not hit by a pitch it's close they wince in pain in their ball HO to replace the ball didn't hit a you know that happens all the time so it's -- soccer different now"

" I mean I'd start it and you know prevalent in the World Cup record that I let my whole life -- 30 years worth. And it's a very -- a -- to get data accused the disheartening to see -- because nobody gains can be summed it cited by that."

" I agree and I think it needs to be punished you gotta remember the reference may split second decisions other other the other thing is I'm not saying. This about your call particular but I feel like some fans in the United States in particular who haven't played don't realize that sometimes it is real and getting ankle kick when guys run at you full speed their -- do that."

" Yet despite the up and oh the other quick and I think L game. In my ridiculous rate is why don't bring it over to watch soccer. -- whose real name you know it's always meant back this may oh oh. I the operation while you're at."

" She's hot I all they aren't yet every you know what bottom line hazel spot. Thanks only six point 77790858885250 repeated telephone number breadth Elvis here Bradley doing these Q 45 minute periods right there's no breaks that's it's just it -- it just goes it just -- are pretty absorbed its I would actually thinking of doing like a basketball game or hockey game it is sort of annoyed that Dick Gregory -- right but I mean you know doesn't it isn't it. It's seems to me you know me I got to break here every 25 minutes and you know a run down the hall like eat agonized smoke cigarettes sometimes I call my friends. The brakes come in handy for -- like -- when -- or 45 minutes at a time it's -- continue warm and you can't there's nothing you can nobody UK it's to stop its element in my breath here. That's what makes calling a soccer game different from most of the other sports I would."

" Yes and a guy who drives the Lamont -- have a whole lot of sympathy and had ever be an Alley there at that. That's not outlawed without a break Honda accord the -- yet that's made -- is that is sorted plan ahead in I think again for me. I think it's one the really great things about soccer's for 45 minutes plus -- to stop the injury time completely absorb that and then every luxury group. There's 15 minutes of August out here I'd say stick around halftime show to be as good but I honestly while people that changed now you Bogut beer and you come back and your -- for another 45 minutes. And it's such a short attention span culture and there's something refreshing for me about."

" Now just -- me -- to one little detail here before you backcourt telephone calls here and and and I know that this has summit due to injury timeouts but the period ends a 45 minutes and they keep playing for awhile. Right right that's because of what momentary stoppages of the Clark."

" Because you don't actually stop the clock is at the referee's discretion the clock keeps moving so. -- in 32 one minute increments for substitution and injury an argument you know and it's exactly 30 your minute that's usually it's it's a full -- elated but they -- Adam up -- you know. Substitution -- you know it takes two substitutions again another minutes he sorted roundup roughly I don't I actually haven't been to a -- clinic recently define what that. Guard god I don't put on o'clock they don't put it on the clock but they do hold up you know digital -- its delegates to throw -- minutes. And we've we usually put on the television screen but that's not shown because it's on the reference wrist watch in the old days are used to be a lot of phony business they make. Show how much -- stoppage time there is -- Most referees are good about getting it with a couple seconds you know they poll of three minutes three minutes."

" I imagine the old days -- price bigger problem back when they did the timing of the game by its spies sun dial. It probably was very confusing at that point carrots in Cambridge to."

" State guard for -- I just -- there was one I'd like at all I'll vote exporter rather -- are all in all five teams in -- to pretty closely. And jock was what they beck got recalled earlier all of the folks -- didn't fall -- Slevin they're falling over and you know -- get hurt there is no change the world there's more. It is better adapt in the Italian they're the biggest -- acres of a person actors all -- terrible they're actually terrible but I was dubbed."

" Sounds to me like -- just don't like Italians there there."

" Although the way they played the United States in the -- was was so a shame for the ladies -- is played at the United States it was. Anybody who claimed to be Italian banner I should be embarrassed the -- they."

" Well yeah here yeah that'll like Garrett but they also want the whole thing and they have some very skillful players -- I announced that against the Italian league for a couple years I -- you know not just that the top Nazis all the teams in the way they play over there. There is a certain amount of you know drama and histrionics ago that the talent football it's -- like the opera. But today that's part of what makes it interesting and fun to mr. really good at it. -- like Fabio."

" There's there's one other thing Carol before I was dimension -- elbow on the midnight in the midnight riders as well do what happened up we're going to be capital of viewing party at disputed -- in Florida and central square and came. People to tell you you -- followed a walk or get their debt -- what a lot of people. Stick game onslaught all the related in Cambridge for like you know anybody was interested in watching New England Revolution of all of them we're -- you know they're going to apple would have shot in the game in the bottom everything"

" OK well good -- that's that's been there I met my now going to the game out of rejected Sam Adams the parking lot."

" I usually comedy joyous place where you are incredible I've recently -- so I have a blast it's unlocked it. It's a lot different -- lot of other sporting event showed Dodi were bought it ought to I imagine it's what Fenway Park would have been like back in the 1920s and buried some people's bank -- you don't already know."

" There really -- Hundred -- it's a family atmosphere it's that's they look at it it's a lot it is I saw a lot of."

" It is a kid poetry aids like you know -- and 13 and and the reason you can tell -- soccer players -- and -- sport they planted that -- But -- you know and it doesn't mean that it's you know not because those famous sporting event but he would do feel that this is a a welcome venue for for kids and I'm -- little dinky kids against -- my kids -- of the soccer playing and."

" alcohol opal and I'll have to try to create that you look at what they've done with built stadiums and they. You know an -- in Houston to Dallas they've built these soccer specific stadium like our picketed in in Gallup poll about 47000 people. And they've built you know the world's largest youth soccer complex the world they have all the told me you'll deal Iraq -- the plane and I mean I'm -- the -- will be something like that eventually the next five years the craps in the weevil. Point -- a monument built the rats their own stadium what you know. Soccer fields around everything I mean what you think -- what you think the chances that the current within the next five years dark -- it the way it works is that we might be the only team in the league without our own stadium in the next five --"

" Well first thought is worth mentioning that that the revolution due to a certain extent have their own stadium at Gillette stadium was built for soccer and and football -- your point's well taken one of the great things happening in the sport and the league right now is is the fact they're new stadium's opening up Chicago has a great new facility an average Illinois has a real sort of European British. Feel with the over the overhang in the tight quarters they're opening new buildings you know in Colorado Toronto next year there is a movement by the league to -- to work with the crafts and and to try to talk to communities in this area. Did to try to get a soccer specific stadium I can't put any kind of a time line. On that but I do there's been a request for information and I and I can't say that several communities have responded and it is a real possibility for the future but nothing concrete at this point to -- led initiative but it it's one that could lead to something Sunday."

" Garrett thanks for checking in with us tonight the program we appreciate that the cardinals just went ahead by a score of three to one who hit a home run I couldn't see it. -- Molina yeah idea of the the one of the famous fat catchers brothers there's three fat catching brother's name Malaysia that are off -- they're all good so -- something."

" I regret that what the MLS should do. In order to increase scoring back -- goaltenders like we saw that in the deciding game back all the fourth and final places online conference New -- against Kansas City, -- it back goalkeeper couldn't get to the game winning goal is too much over the course of the season will be out of a job next year because it was that -- way to -- course if you make them fat enough they can plug up that goal you know take up a lot of room they don't have to move that far left or right at the kind of sit -- the nets have good that's at some innovative soccer thinking -- new women's soccer drug goaltenders. Goaltenders -- scoring gulf -- through the -- Well with our former our former rock club president user chief operating officer. He -- league meeting Jolo in the goals to keep the keepers from -- yet the soccer careers that like that deals that land mines about Jill -- a box in front of the whole box go combine that with your earlier idea I think let's marketing and Jason deployment --"

" I do they're different game when you watch soccer -- never translated well aren't in on its one little sports that we used to present and appreciation of the players talking softness came out. And you can just Egypt percent of all black and the older brother can do regular -- evidently you're watching on TV."

" That's right -- well -- your person first of all Europe they're close and -- you're seeing just how difficult it is. To get your body where it needs to be on the soccer field it takes a lot of running a lot of criticism to get their being positioned to the athletic feat that's at hand -- not a joke. Sir just to stop trapped the ball and while -- expertise that's beyond belief precision to the passes that they use obvious symbol of public and kicked the ball between three guys right there every."

" I just want to charge you could drag coach -- A college student after the woman costume in Boston and obviously lived -- give -- a player -- coach hadn't been a clinician. Social work. And so that was used to can -- on his first broke that is so popular for kids. Even now occasion some indoor facilities probably every -- when they start a little developmental clinic -- we happen to college. Commitment to -- in this area particular about it it was the only -- You wouldn't really gets the best attendance. Can have a total attitude I think everyone has pretty close so despite what is pretty popular mistakes but in general it's amazing to me are very little interest they're kept in units once players get a college I want to --"

" Well yet one of -- is one of the real issues of the real dilemmas that the league faces in converting these players into real hands I think where you start is what Mike's talking about go to a game and if you're. A father parent of a kid who played soccer taking the -- the revolution as you know have five or six US national team players -- you -- nasty place -- Joseph a grenade international Avery John the defender plea for Trinidad in the World Cup these guys are big time players so if you want your kid. To continue to play to be the best at their current age level their -- eternity to get a sense a feel for the game and US apparent to maybe understand a little -- can help them out and talk about. Garrick earlier watched on TV get out to a game could you'll have talking points -- also as is my experts and all night you'll appreciate the technique the altitude of just how tough the sport really is."

" The government's biggest brad and Mike can defeat has probably need to troubles standup dec. -- Jensen interaction -- some of the plays of the -- was rusty pierce was relevant question is guys that ever came through Amanda was not with the Cuban born out of what they've got guys that don't make a lot of money. There are tremendous difference in tremendous guys. And it really need to reach out to kids didn't dealing and doing a tremendous stress levels for the young kids in this area and we -- about different things got a lot of professionals -- actually people from college sports into restructuring gain because you can't tell you that granted does that work cards that kids a lot of them. But there's also some elements -- the third plus it's just you know great battles for a lot of the other players I think that's something that but really to be overlooked."

" And nor can thanks for called Jason nor can overlook the fact that these guys run six to nine miles in the course of that period time. I mean that's a that's a crazy distance to run now it's not all sprinting but there's a lot of all out sprinting going on to the ball and up and down up and down up down and to have your legs idea after all that run around you gotta realize what amazing athletes there."

" Not to match in the middle -- is you have it appears that time their own you know Saturday Wednesday Saturday Wednesday in doing it not once a week but twice a week it's incredible we still have phone callers on the line -- who -- is this. J pride are -- can he -- a little while longer. I took you can Newsday -- got callers hear good news spread Feldman the voice in Oregon revolution 6177790850 will be right back."

" Read Elvis here he's got a 60 year as the revolution broadcaster and his second as the primary play by play announcer for the team's TV and radio broadcast -- WB I've read broadcast the revolution gave you watch on fox sports network for the TV coverage of the games. And coming up of course during the revolution in the playoffs -- Chicago next weekend this coming weekend. And then back home for the second half only to game playoff kind of an unusual explain that one more time -- it was."

" Totally that is the word they use -- law as aggregate goals total goals -- look at its each. Each game is sort of the you know half of of one long game instead of a 90 minute game it's -- whoever has the most goals the end of the two games wins if they -- that they played other 30."

" So you can conceivably go up there when afford nothing game they get shut out three nothing in the second game is to win. That's true so it's kind of weird it's it's unusual."

" If yes admitting getting European and South American soccer you season a lot of knockout performance but it would be frank Davis played a hole gave want to play both games it wants you know you know hour and a half each period. This half then you have guises that will."

" All right we're -- soccer hero planet Mikey show this is an historic moment. For the program despite that one -- the call up and said we should talk about soccer it's been pretty good stuff tonight from listeners of this. -- number one rated radio program we appreciate that and of course as I've said earlier in the program I'll reiterated -- again I'm going with the last game last home game go to the playoff game it's it's it's about going into the game experiencing the it is it would baseball what baseball team fielding TB to a major league games that's not the San Jose or Boston go ahead."

" The zags -- I don't -- the question for a moment okay. There are built into them industry an amendment to cut. And and good except Britain and appetite and doesn't -- equipment. Yeah come on title game."

" I'm not sure I completely understood I think they say say you -- life is like in the World Cup when they play the 30 minute extra time is that retired."

" And I didn't editorials."

" Well they think they only do that in in knockout games -- Robertson elimination game if you see you know worldwide as as you know in a league game you wouldn't have that overtime period but it in in a World Cup match where you have to decide a winner. They have and that's it MLS has in the play out."

" Right in other words there's no tomorrow you gotta have gotta come to some kind of votes finality here."

" Okay amendment that it could happen it's something protective equipment -- and development and Republicans and that again there's that does not implemented respondents but."

" I I don't believe that in Colombia that they have extra time for for league -- that could be wrong I don't watch league that closely -- it would be consistent with the other South American leagues no about I think it's again only like if there's a Colombian team. In the copa libertadores which is you know the -- procedures international club competition -- teams from different countries play against each other if you have to have a winner that you play extra time if it's as a regularly game you don't and that's an analysis consistent with the rest of the world that way."

" I can't believe you understood all that -- questions crappy cellphone plus the accident approaching a point as bi annual portfolios are you got to know these things in your -- political and there are one of the wanted to buy your bet -- it while it. Buddies say bad cellphone -- it formal let's go to our -- Gloucester Greg."

" Hey guys want let's Greg there a couple of questions big guys the first question is that what I declined ten team might want to go to like this. English Premier League is that your."

" He's been pretty pretty vocal about the fact that he wants to Jamaica jumped to Europe or England and let me just put it this way he's gonna get where he's going sooner or later I think that -- is doing the right thing right now and that he's proving to everybody how badly he wants to earn you know you know big time leap. To England or Europe by scoring a lot of goals he's he's he's red hot right now he's goals and 21 games had four goals in his last six and set up two more in the you know. Clinton made a big impression that the World Cup he's just name the Honda player of the year the best player in US soccer. And that opens a lot of eyes you know around the world with a big -- that I and others you know there's certainly interest out there but nothing would be decided to go after the season you know I know the -- are committed to trying to keep the best players. But at a certain point you know there's also the idea that you know the bid comes in. That's that's really big and he got to listen so."

" Plus Clinton is trying to be the all time record holder for scoring for someone named -- breaking the record of Clint eastwood in Hollywood in the 1970s."

" Right in my courses the -- lead I mean you were with that they've elected David David. -- beckham Michael Moore are now you feel that the -- eat more player like that or were grow due to cultural."

" Well I think I think both I think right now what you have is is analysts agree designation for top players from this hemisphere's this -- from Jamaica in Central America C this is is that really good lead to count two. And you have the best obviously American players with the exception -- few top guys who've gone off to England and Europe. I think it to bring in David beckham -- so what's star power that it would really shine limelight on the league in a way to be very positive now. Beckham's on the downside of his current little bit he's not pleased the he had completely phase in terms of his skills but it."

" He's right like a Japanese player covered the major leagues after they've already had an -- career over as a very good analogy and I think you'd see as much or more. Interest as you see you -- you know hero or somebody like that so."

" At -- all eight there is that pocket the board or are there won't work United States I -- two years ago the game -- lead. We gave -- 18 July 1 purple one of the great game. I've ever seen enemy -- that it wants the money -- Britain."

" Well now you're talking -- the great comebacks in sports history you know Liverpool down three nothing in the European Cup champions league final at islam Liverpool. That's wrong with the."

" If Liverpool scored three eagles is based about seven minutes to come back on arguably the best team that year a team has really going to possessing the ball and killing games off nobody expected it. And anyone in the penalty shoot out and it was that you thought memorable place they play all Beatles music. -- girl sing and man Liverpool games are unreal I'm going over for one and a couple weeks my daughter's a big Liverpool fan did they have"

" when you go to Liverpool have this is this sounds like I'm stupid American government to Liverpool it is true but I'll say it anyway when you go there Natalie you watch the soccer games but other -- crossing the mercy. I think there are ferries cross the mercy I think you're right on all -- it all goes on me one with a regular most of -- from the and that's locals rebuild people's lives album -- we got James in Norton James Mario I'm doing pretty -- to get to us. Well."

" I'd open up actually wanted to talk about our team monopoly options decided it was going to do you."

" You turn off the hair dryer first they're James I'm actually I have not --"

" Too much ever makes it. That was my question oh a -- hearing a -- buzzing coming from your hand. No I don't shaven call the radio station the -- that I drive which of course."

" But I'm seriously I'm -- think our chances of making MLS cup 2006 in actually winning in this --"

" I think they're very good and I think it's because the reds have the core of the same group. Together that's been here since Steve -- took over -- head coaches 2002 and that there's a real trust factor and you also have a lot of guys who are desperate to win after coming so close. And coming up short last year you know the rest of the best team wire to wire in the regular season 5. And then they just sort of hit a wall they had five or six guys -- wouldn't have been on the field. In the final game discussed injuries but it it was the final and and I think you saw that they they put in the sub par performance against LA -- were. Out of gas this year they're getting back to health and starting to gel at the right time Chicago is going to be tough they played in closed the regular season if if they -- I I'm predicting that the resonated yep by Chicago. Maybe with an extra time to light they made -- lose a goal. In Chicago I think they come -- use a home field advantage to good advantage get by Chicago beat whoever they see in in the conference championship game and then it will really depend on who they see in the MLS cup final. I think accused -- shot out of the west but I Houston and Dallas teams that played. Played the rest pretty tough in the game's going to be in Texas so laden is that the file to be tough threats to get that far."

" another person from fish initially going to be playing this began with capital he's been off a with a hand injury is the and cleared the white."

" Joseph has been training full speed the last couple days he is -- as we talked about earlier. James he's so important because it is -- qualities and he has is sort of tell asthmatic affect -- everybody's -- such a giant out there. So intimidating to other other players that accuser of the huge that I can't say he's going to start but he certainly cleared to play at least get some minutes."

" James thanks to the call -- it was -- just won the national league pennant they want to buy escort 321 against the Mets in the rain of Shea stadium. Beltran strikes out walking that's the worst they take -- damn bat off your shoulders and it's that you got to do that's the worst thing -- want think swearing in. You know it's bad enough striking out swinging to end but he takes. Wallace -- a little low but that's okay he's out games over and it's going to be cardinals tigers a replay of in 1968 World Series. Featuring Mickey though it's about Gibson at this time that time 61777908588525 Zurich 50 we're talkin' soccer on -- Thursday night -- brad Feldman of the New England. Ron who shunned. Then Mike is in -- Mike."

" Mikey we have great shelf thank you I appreciate the talk to articulate the great thing it's more than I can save the rest area. Colleagues at W he had but I'll leave it."

" Well it's about damn time we talked some soccer in this program."

" Brad -- couple questions feel you're just touched on -- is good seats should be ready to go what about anything and isn't it pat -- their status"

" Daniel heard that is history of fertilizers are made up yet familiar with the team really good -- defensive midfielder who has spent two years in the top league in Mexico he's with the -- and they went to the final out to get an ankle injury earlier in the year he's been out for four months. He's played in the last two games as a substitute just lacks match fitness I think again he'll be certainly -- make the trip to Chicago he's projected as a starter I'm not sure he's going to be in the starting 11 it really depends on how. A Steve -- sets -- the midfield and pat Noonan just had. Sports hernia surgery in in Germany I think it was ten or 11 days ago. And I was really -- who Nuys factory in the jaw dropper has flabbergasted to see that he's training full speed. Yesterday and and putting really well I talked about some soreness it's it's hard to say whether I'd be really surprised he -- the starting 11 but I would also puppies a surprise seed -- minutes. And that's the one the elements has really been lacking for the reds when they struggled earlier in the season he's a great set up guy for Taylor -- on the draws defenders she's got those great cutback moves you great passer gray holed up guy. And in the attack if they can if the Redskins have -- up they're playing with Taylor moment watch out is then Albion element that could put the reds over the top."

" Chicago now is it is very hot on time but politician Steve -- may be to make an inflammation of the way Reagan playing for a defendant is what you think you'll go well with -- three back."

" Well he did he went before the back two weeks ago when they want to at DC united and that was more out of necessity because of the missing bodies with the suspensions and injuries and that in Chicago in July ninth I don't know if you remember back in the 21 win. When he defeated Chicago at their place. I believe they went flat back four that night to -- that could. Tip things in favor that the reds are at their best so I think. When they when they attack when they play to put the other team on their heels a little bit and they have the personnel out there to keep the ball and go forward that's when other teams get him back when arrested in Adams or pressures you saw on the second half of that game the -- how lucky after playing their best half of the year in the first half. They were under a lot of pressure in the second half so its its its hard to say with the reds adding everybody healthy they're at their best when they played 352 because George Joseph as we mentioned a couple of times they such a huge screen. In front of those factory -- right now Reese is a goalkeeper -- the defense played really well best defense analyst is here by the way the -- top of the -- that respect so. I'm not trying to be on the fence here but you know recent history to predict -- the back but the resurrect the best with three so I'd like to see them both reflect --"
