[0:00]" 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."

[0:26]" 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."

[0:57]" 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."

[1:38]" 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."

[2:14]" 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."

[3:08]" 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."

[3:29]" 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."

[3:58]" 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."

[4:27]" 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 --"

[4:57]" 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."

[5:10]" 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."

[5:48]" 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."

[6:10]" 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."

[7:16]" 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."

[7:32]" 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."

[8:09]" 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."

[9:38]" 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."

[10:12]" 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."

[10:39]" 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."

[13:12]" 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 --"

[13:43]" 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."

[14:18]" 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."

[14:36]" 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."

[16:06]" 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."

[16:21]" 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."

[16:35]" 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."

[16:43]" Oh go go go go go go go go go go go go go go out local local local goal."

[16:54]" 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."

[17:08]" 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."

[18:25]" 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."

[18:35]" 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."

[19:31]" 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."

[19:52]" 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."

[20:08]" 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."

[20:41]" 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"

[20:51]" 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"

[21:13]" 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."

[21:53]" 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."
