Listen to this. It's like the morning of my wing. His bread heavens and Steve Steve. Who is it? Bread Evans. It's not again. Happy day to hear again. Turning with a private Steve Zucka warning. He's an attacking bread bread Evan. This is so weird. The party has started. Hey what's up everyone. Welcome to another episode of Side by Side Playoff edition. We are coming to you just a couple of days before the sounders head down to Texas for leg 2 of a possible best of free series.
When they face FC Dallas, the sounders taking care of business in game 1, 2 near win on Monday night. Golds from our book Russenak from the penalty spot and then Jordan Morris with a header from the greatest sis by knew who the sound is doing what we all 3 predicted 2-0. I forgot about that. 2-0. I thought about it. He said 2-0 right? Yeah. 2-0. But with that said, you're getting picked up. You're getting with that said. Should have been 2-0 down. Yeah. Very slowly. What happened?
I mean he's a much better player than he showed in those moments. I couldn't believe it. I could not believe that he missed both of those. The second one especially. The second one. Yeah. I don't know why he didn't go near post on the second one. Both times he tried to go right down the middle. He tried to do the inside foot on step yet on step where it goes up and over his shoulder.
And it blew my mind that he missed those 2 and the sounders praying to the soccer gods at that point that you almost thought, okay, they missed those 2. There's no way that Dallas comes out of here. No, this game. I couldn't believe it. It was, yeah, I couldn't believe it. But the sounders obviously settled into the game getting the win 2-0. Did it go as you expected the game? Yeah, pretty much. We didn't expect Dallas to come and really play the sounders out of the game. Yeah. And they didn't.
They didn't. It was two mistakes that the sounders had a couple turnovers in the back. Yeah. From playing a little bit too slow, a little bit too complacent. And I don't care if you're playing the worst team in the league. If it's a playoff, everything goes out the window. Right. Same thing when you play Portland at home and they have a losing season. And then all of a sudden they come on here here and then you're under pressure, pressure, pressure, pressure.
And you think that you can just, the sounders methodically can play out of the back and play that the way. But there's another level in the playoffs and they almost got bit twice. Yeah. But I liked actually that Dallas came to play a little bit. They did. They did come to play. Yeah, they did. But I did think that, you know, the sounders got a little bit stretched that times. And that gap in the middle of midfield was just too big. And that's a, that's a proud of Yem Arn and Reagan.
Yeah. Just have to get that line up. Yeah. Because, and I talked to JP after the game and he was like, man, they were fast, fast. So it's a really athletic team. So I think the sounders are really concerned about being beat behind. Okay. But you give up so much space in the midfield, you're probably actually doing more running. Yeah. At that point. And you almost got caught two or three times with that giant gap.
Yeah. That we were trying to play through, got a couple turnovers, JP on the one and then. Yeah. A couple bad back passes. Yeah. So, yeah. I think the answer is yes. I mean, it's one thing to bench Nico and Raoul in the regular season. He did in the playoffs. Yeah. And I think it paid off. I mean, the guys who, you know, Russ and I came in and got a penalty, obviously. I've had another decent game. I think in a little true, continues to justify maybe why he's should be there.
Of course, Jordan Morris playing through the middle, scoring the goal as well. It is job done. And we saw that every home team won except St. Louis who lost to Kansas at home. Sounded as 19 shot attempts, six on target, you know, almost 60% of the ball. All good. How much of a different game, different we'll see on Saturday night? Well, I forget what the stat, I wish I had that sheet with me when we were talking about Dallas's home record.
Yeah. They had only lost three games since last year up until May of this year at home. And I think they only lost three total this year also at home. So a really, really good team at home. Yeah. And they've actually got a pretty decent crowd this year. I don't know what they've been doing different. They've obviously been pretty good. They haven't been amazing. But that, that stadium has been crowded. I'm assuming it'll be packed.
They'll do everything they can sell, you know, five dollar tickets to all the youth teams, give them all out just to pack the stadium. And it's a difficult place to play. But the weather's going to be perfect. Normally you go to Dallas. It's 95 degrees. It's hot. It's going to be nice now. Which is, which is good for the sounders. It'll be a cool night in Dallas. There's really no excuse for the sounders to go in and not get a result.
I mean, Dallas is going to have to come out and go and they're going to fly and press. But Velasco, Tornacee, he's got surgery in a couple days. That's a huge loss for them. Yeah. And then you try and replace him with a, with a youngster, you know, a homegrown kid who's, you know, he's an okay player. Yeah. But you have to move a couple of pieces now and get really tactically savvy for them. And I don't know if you can beat the sounders without Velasco. It's a big loss.
And you just, it's just as you hate to see that, especially at this stage of the season, somebody to go down like that, such a top player as well. No, so I have that pregame inset in sight, Brad. Okay. So I think this is when you're talking about FC Dallas was unbeaten and forced straight away matches and all competitions, including winning four one at Galaxy on Decision Day. They hadn't won any consecutive away matches in all competitions in over five years.
They're on like a crazy run in terms of like away games. And they only have three losses at home. Three losses at home. Three losses at home. Three losses. It's still going to be a tough game. I don't know, not line up, but off it, line up should change approach. You know, we talk about going on the road. Maybe we'll see we'll see we'll see sometimes a bit okay. Our line of confrontation is going to be top of the circle. We play a little bit deeper and let teams come onto you.
But keep in mind that away goals don't carry. That doesn't matter. It's not aggregate. There's no draws. You have to try to get done 90 minutes or your risk and penalties. I wonder what Schmetz and Preckie, they're sitting there now. What they're thinking? How should we approach this? You go and just play as a one off game. Just try to beat them. Or you sort of ask that is to come out at you and then maybe play more in transition. There's a couple ways you can approach this game.
Well, I don't think it's one or the other. I think it's got to be a combination of both. I think the sounders have to be willing to stretch FC Dallas. You cannot just be a possession based team in this game. I don't think that's going to get the sounders anywhere. I think possession with a purpose, yes. But you have to be willing at times. And the guys all have to be willing to stretch a defense.
Because at the end of the day, it's all about where you are on the field and having control over that. It's one thing to have possession and to be sitting back in your own final third and connecting passes and trying to play out of pressure. It's another thing to stretch a defense and to have a lot of your possession be in the opponent's half. Those are two big differences for me.
And if the sounders can do that, establish possession in the opponent's half, that's going to be the winner of this game. And you saw Precky, especially in the second half, he was up on the bench or up off the bench multiple times saying, guys, calm down. You can see his hands and then you can see him do this thing with his hands, right? Just connect, connect, connect. Because the sounders know that when we do connect, you can break any team down.
And especially this Dallas team, I don't think they provide anything that is worthy of fantastic defense. Anyone out there that anyone in the crowd has said, wow, that guy's amazing. They're just a really good solid team that play a good brand of soccer. But I think, yes, it is. You can't just throw everything against the wall and say we got a score in the first minute. No, that's not this game. You can let them come in waves, but you also don't want to be defending for 90 minutes.
That's worst case scenario to be under pressure. So the sounders do have to play attacking soccer because it is not in our DNA to sit back and just absorb pressure and have two super fat. Two super fast guys up top, like a Clinton, Oba, you just give them the ball and they do the business. That is not the sounders of this day and age. It is a full team right now. There are no superstars on our team. Yeah, are there that are better starting at this point? No, no, it's very much a team effort.
Yeah, I agree with that. I agree with your point is what a personal, but the sounders, you know, we've, I think with Leo Jordan, even Christian, do have the getting behind ability. For sure, but I got the motor. Yeah, we've Russ and I can JP and these guys, you can keep the board. The only area where I was, I wasn't sure, Schmidt was going to be a tent show and orbit. And I think he's just going for attention for the physicality. I think it's playoffs. You need tackles, you need height.
So I feel as we're always missing out. I don't think the tensile did anything wrong to lose this place. So I think he stays. Now we did see Dallas. I got up on my phone. I'm over a month ago without Velasco. We did play them in Dallas. That game was one one. And if you think back to that game, I mean, Dallas didn't do much. It was only two shots on goal, seven overall. Sound is at three shots on goal, none overall. Possession was pretty much 50-50. It was a pretty, evenish game.
And the sound is really into that game. The one difference of that game was that Ledero and Vargas were playing. And Raoul also started. It was a very different, yeah. It did read start again. And read started left back as well. So it's a very different sound as team. I think the team we have now is much stronger. Built to play with. The winning center is the winning against Dallas. The momentum building. It looks very solid top to bottom. Don't concede many goals or many chances.
So I do agree with you that it's a team that Dallas was struggling to beat. And especially without Velasco, it becomes a much tougher ask for them. Any areas of concern from Monday or not really. You saw what the two chances they got was trying to play to Jarl Parlo. One was trying to play I think into maybe a tencio. And they got caught out both times. The overplaying part. Any concerns was those just kind of two mistakes.
I think those are the mistakes that they'll watch on video and be like, okay, if it's a square ball from Alex plays a square ball into a tencio or JP away from home. It's the first time. You saw, you know who did that? Hook amazing. Every time Kyle Beckerman. Yeah, first time just into first time. Every single time. If he felt any pressure and it was a square ball, he's just pinging it up over the top. And then we put them in behind and we reset. We put them under pressure.
We make them make a mistake. And Dallas would do that. They're not going to get a ball played in behind. Those center backs can't trap the ball. Play out of the back. They have the ability, yes. But I think with Jordan chasing, I think with Christian applying pressure, I think with Leo Chul applying pressure, just turn them around. If you get into danger, right? A square ball is a square ball. And I had to say it at practice yesterday to the girls who play ball across your own six.
You're going to get punished. Anywhere on the field. Yeah. And a square ball is not wide, wide open. You are setting yourself up for disaster. I would never, I would always try not to play square balls in the middle of the pitch. Yeah. Because I knew that if it wasn't perfect or if my teammate didn't make the right decision in that time, I'm now making a 70 yard run backwards. Right. So I'm telling him, hey, first time pinging. I think you'll see that away from home as JP gets it.
Because what happened was ball got played out wide. Atencio came across. He then played it back to Alex. Alex tried to play another square ball to JP. And now it's two square balls. Yeah. And any any square ball. What do we told as defenders? Step. Yes. Step. Yeah. And then all of a sudden, everyone's under pressure in the back line. Because that is your cue as a defending team to go apply pressure, apply pressure, right? Anytime you don't break lines, you have to apply pressure.
So it's a square ball or a ball backwards is where we step. Yeah. And I think it's a great point. I think if that is what's willing to step a little bit aggressive away from home at 0-0 now a game down. And you got to think they'll press a bit more. Around the league a bit more. So some of the, I mean some of the results say we spoke to the best of three, four, Matt. What kind of games are we going to see? Um, Philly beat England 3-1. LFC Vancouver beat them 5-2. Um, Houston won at home.
Cincinnati won at home. As we said, only St. Louis lost at home so far. Orlando won at home. The sound is one at home. Columbus won at home. So all the home teams seem to be getting it done. And we're sitting in pretty confident that we're going to do what Kansas did and then break that trend and go away and win. I have a good step for that actually. So this goes back to Brad's original point about home games versus way games, etc. Yeah. So, uh, where is it?
Oh, yeah, Dallas are looking to extend a six-match home on beaten streak. So they have a six-match home on beaten streak, but five draws. Mm, yeah. Are those five draws in a row, which you, the last thing that they are going to want is a draw at the end. And the founders are, we actually have a six-match away on beaten streak going right now. Three wins, three draws. Been in good form. Yeah, quite been in good form. Yeah. We could break the home team always winning streak just saying.
I do think so as well. I would say, though, the way that the season played out, each of the home games were the better teams. Yes. Except for St. Louis. Yeah. I mean, St. Louis's form in the last month, month and a half of the season. Not great. Obviously, they went off, off and running and they looked like they were in the sounders. There were only three points behind them chasing them for first place. So I think it was deserved.
And that's why you have playoffs and things are playing out as they should. Now, Schmetzer's road warrior mentality. Does that prevail in this one? It should when you're playing a two versus seven. Yeah. Right? It should at the end of the day. But, you know, what is it? Just, this game is specifically, and maybe not even our sport. We've probably discussed it before. Why is it so hard to win away from home? Why? Because it's the same game.
You still, if you've got better players, you've got better players. It is what it is. But every team usually has a better home record in a way record. What, like, is it travel? Is it you're not in your own bedroom? I think there's been so many studies on this and nobody can quite figure it out. Yeah. I don't think any, I don't think man, city is as good away from home as they are home. No team in the world is exactly so. That's where I get a little bit.
Now, this is just from no matter how good we play. There's just something where home teams win, but I've never figured out why. I never personally felt different. Sometimes, yes, you could feel it if you're in Colorado or, you know, so leg a bit. Yeah, there were some factors in there. But, in general, there's such, especially in MLS, it's such a massive swing from how you are at home to going on the road. It's just so tough to win on the road in MLS.
Yeah, it'd be interesting to see compared to other leagues that have less travel, shorter travel, if they have better away records. But also, there's so much parity in this league that's more than any other league. Any other league in the world. And I remember when I was still playing, this is probably six or seven years ago, you go into the preseason meetings with the, with MLS, the gambling, everything. And they were saying that MLS is one of the most bet on leagues in the world.
Yeah, because no one can figure it out. There's so much parity. That's actually hilarious. You don't know. I mean, it's a credit to, you know, we talk about salary cap and should it be open, should, but then you don't get the parity. And then you get what is more aching to the rest of the world, where you have the same teams winning over and over and over and over again. But I do think that because of the salary cap, the way that teams spend, you are forced to spend in a certain way.
And so whether you believe it or not, there are some bad teams that have bad seasons. Yep. But the teams that make the playoffs are still pretty good at the end of the day. And you're talking about a team in Dallas now also, that is a difficult place to play. Every time I went there, I hated the field. The field was really hard and you're coming from turf and you're coming from Seattle grass. That's nice and soft. It's perfectly manicured at Starfire.
And then you got to go to a stadium where they play football. They spray paint it green. The crowd is, you know, not really into it. And there's something to be said about sleeping in your own bed and that routine. And I don't know. When you talk about playing in the stadium, do you get a feeling right now? What, what, what, if I say Lumenfield Century link, whatever it is, what, what do you think? Yeah, you think of the fans, the atmosphere. You kind of get that buzz, right?
Okay. If I say think about, I don't know, playing in New England like that. Yeah, New England, sure. New England or Columbus back in the day. That was always a big part of it for me. I agree because it's true. When you did go and play in Portland, you still felt you felt the atmosphere. You knew the fans were going to show up. A few stadiums were like that. But yeah. So, yeah, I think that was an article that was the home team. And it's psychological would get more of the calls from the referee.
Oh, that's true. That's 100 percent. So, in every sport. Every sport. And you would think last, two nights ago, do you watch the Sunspers? Yes. And Kevin Durant at the end gets the ball and you think he gets swiped across the face. KD gets that call any day the week. It's in Phoenix. Yeah. And even, you know, he's talking about it after the game. Chuck and, and Shackert, how did he not get that call? No, that's a great point. Right?
And I think there's just being at home, you get, even the rest feel the pressure of, okay, I'm in Phoenix, whether it's subconscious or not, this is the home team. This is what you know what I mean? That's so crazy. On Sunday, man, C.E. got a penalty at Old Trafford. Harlan scored it. It was their first penalty at Old Trafford in 30 years. Stop it. 30 years since 1993. Dude, and given how many PKs are given and Premier League, that's completely free. And how can you say that? I can't wait.
You think someone's been fouled in the box in the box. 30 years. I mean, they definitely have been fouled in the box. They just have to have been called. So, Old Trafford, that's a great, great point. So, sound was winning 2-0. Any other results to cut for your obviously Kansas we spoke about? And, I mean, they were not good sort of season. They've gone there and everyone's 4-1. I mean, a bit surprised with Columbus 2-0 against Atlanta.
I think that was, I expected more from Gonzo there to get a result there. I think they have a good team. But, you know, Columbus, could your Hernandez just... He's on fire. He's on fire. I mean, Columbus is playing well. Yeah, I expected home teams. I didn't expect Red Bull to get shlacked either. No, I think 5-2 LFC Vancouver was surprised. LFC was a nice one. I could see Vancouver winning that game in Vancouver. That's exactly right. Yeah, that one's a bit of a toss up there.
Yeah, I don't think too much is crazy. But, okay, did you watch the game? The Sounder's full game. Yes. Who did you think was player of the match? Because I chose Steph after the match. But, the more I thought about it, I have a different player of the game. Really. I mean, it's a tough one. I don't think there's any one superstar. I wanted to super standout performers. I can see why you chose Steph. There's always a safe bet like a J.P. I'll probably go Christian.
I think Christian was pretty good. Yeah, honestly, I would change it to New Who. The more I think about that game and what... He did a good game. Nothing. Nothing down his side. Which is a luxury. We don't talk about it. No, I mean, in the calmness he showed on the ball. You know, he had one cross in the first half where you... He didn't even look up to see where he was crossing. And I was like, no, you got to look at Lisa because they ball went out for like a throw in or a goal kick.
But, I mean, save for that one play. He was lights out. Yeah. I mean, I don't understand how someone... When you're around him, you don't really realize how strong he is. Strong. I mean, he's got like these traps on him that are massive. And that's... You don't see that soccer player very often. They're like big traps. I don't know how he does it. But I mean, there was, you know, a couple plays where his calmness on the ball and even picking up the ball.
Almost as a number six, spinning out, you know, connecting. And then, you know, to top it off with that assist in the second half. I mean, that's the best ball I told him after the game. It's the best ball you've ever played in your life. Easily. It's the era of his game we spoke about for so many years. So, I'm so moved. And can you do it in the playoffs? In the playoffs. Yeah. Jordan continues to be great in there. That's a great shout. Yeah, I'm trying to think now.
I think Stefan is obviously a... Yeah, a massive save to keep the boys in the game. Huge save, huge save. Yeah, it didn't face too much after that. Everyone was kind of decent around the pitch. It wasn't a venture performance. But I think this is what this... We spoke this, what this sound is, Team R. It's not the old team that's going to come out for one and flying or the Tiki Takasort of stuff. It's going to be very hard to beat because they don't concede many goals at all.
But that's the last point I make on Dallas is... I think this is called the same amount of goals as the sound. It's both scored 41, not too many. And that is only conceded five more goals than the sound. They didn't concede many goals either. That actually that is different. So this probably is the serious that's going to be more low scoring. Do we want to go out on a limb and predict the score for Saturday? We go... All right, on Monday. Kira, you go first.
God, I think it's going to be 11 p.k.s and we win in p.k.s. That's exactly what I was just saying. Actually, I actually think we go 1-0. 1-0? I like Steve's prediction better. I think we get a goal. I think we... I mean... Years ago, I think the page in the game, you would... It's the game we won in Colorado and Jordan scored. That kind of game, we just grind it out and at the right moment... It's the game. Someone gets the goal. Whether it's Christian, whether it's Russ, that Jordan...
Someone will score at a point. I think we're very good defensively. And I think with Velasco, they lose too much to open us up in the run of play. That play was so weird. Yeah, it just... It's a year AC off from that, I mean. Yeah, that was bizarre. Yeah, when I looked at it, it was like Alex was under pressure. Yeah. And then he... I don't think he sees Velasco there, but he's trying to sell the foul. And then he kind of dives forward and hits his knee. Yeah. It's unbelievable.
I have a question. Yeah. How hard did Albert have to hit that PK for it to go through? Because it... Golly guessed right, and it still like just blasted past it. I thought it was... Just from like a physics perspective. You got a touch. That's what I mean, the golly got it touched. Yeah. But it was just hit so hard. Like how hard do you have to hit that? Hard, yes, but also so fine, the corner as well. Yeah. I think that's a key, but we go at wide enough.
I had so many people asking me that question. Yeah, because the key pass to guess for the most. But if you guess right as a keeper and you go early, you have a great chance of saving it. I think that's a take-off then you have to go into corner. But if you think about the physics of the way that the ball bends with the right footer. Yeah. And you're going to shoot it to the left. Yeah. You better be sure that it is perfectly in the corner.
Yeah. Because the ball naturally as a right footer is always going to curl towards the keeper and then fade out to the post. Yeah, I did end you. If you shoot it to the right, you have margin for error to curl it around his hand. Yeah. And that's why I always went to the right. Except for a couple times where I saw the keeper go early. When would you decide where you're going? I always finish dribbling gets found rest course whistle. Yeah, I always go bottom right in my head.
And then when I set the ball up, I put the needle pointing at the bottom right corner. Now, if you have your peripheral vision. And so it's a slow run up and then you change your pace hoping that the keeper might move and you can see it. And you know, both, I think I went three times to my left. All three times the keeper went to his left. Okay. And so send send runway. Yeah. Maybe I got lucky. Maybe my brain saw something that I didn't even know subconsciously. It wasn't like a conscious thing.
The one in Kansas City open cup final. I remember it. Neil send left the field to go in the locker room to get his sheet of paper. He told him historically where each player was going. So I was like, oh, shit. If he sees 10 out of 10, I go to go to the right in a big cup final. Is he really going to change it? Right. I'm going to bank on him going the same direction. And then at the last second, change my mind. It went to the went to my left. And he went, I think he went the other way as well.
Portland at home here. And there may have been one more. Yeah. But yeah, always on my mind was bottom right. And if I, you know, either hammer it at home, there's no way that a keeper is going to get a jump fast enough. And if it's in the corner, anything two, three feet inside of that, these keepers now can save it. They do. Yeah, it's interesting because I've seen even like watching someone like Messi who used to miss so many. And now he doesn't miss anymore.
In the world cup, I think he's got like four or five penalties. He actually, if he watches run up, he doesn't watch the keeper the whole time now. He none looks at the ball. He just slowly walks. It's like Joseph Martinez to watch the keeper to the last minute. Wherever you go, he's going the other way. I couldn't do that personally. But he literally does not look at the ball. He would jump to the ball with his eyes on the keeper. Just wait and see where you're going to go.
And then last minute, he'll pick and Martin, he's that little jump-scape thing he used to do as well. So I don't know, Penu is a psychological battle, man. It's really, yeah, I mean, and the amount you took to not miss in that sense, I mean, it's, and then you said you went to Africa and missed one right away. Yeah, that's the other one. That's right. Small goal. Where did you go, right? Yeah, I went right to send it wide out to the fucking lions. Everyone should look up.
Steve has the worst PSPK ever. He got it scored. Whatever. But like, look it up. Look up Steve. It's all on APK. You were supposed to go. One of my, one of the parents from the high school team sent me an article about England's masterful execution of the shootout. The preparation method, execution, all really interesting. There's a PDF on it. It's in the athletic. Okay. He sent it out. So it's actually really interesting article.
If anyone wants to know a bit more about penalty kicks, it's England's shootout secrets from the athletic. He downloaded it in a PDF for me, but you might, it might be a wall there. Yeah, it's easy, but yeah, I also penalties for me. It's such a psychological thing. I don't know what you can compare a shootout to in sports. There's talks about free throws. I don't think it's the same at all. That walk from the halfway land to the penalty spot is the longest walk.
The goal seems to get more narrow as the closer you get. I mean, it is one of the only thing I can think of is bond with the ninth two outs pitch or versus batter. Okay. That's the only equipment. It's still not quite right. It's not quite the same. And some people seem to not feel it. I don't know. It's just, it's, yeah, it's, it's crazy. Sometimes I've taken really good penalties and missed.
And then I did that one in Portland where scuffable competing, it goes under the goalkeeper and it counts. So it's like, I don't know. And I was not a good penalty take up. So some of the big points of this are common control before the shootout. Pretty obvious. But you know, they all huddle up and take a moment. Taking their time. It's actually pretty interesting. So the time between the whistle and the penalty kick taken from all five shooters. The first one was six seconds.
So the, the whistles blown. Oftentimes you see people whistles blown. Okay, I start my run up. Right. Right. So six seconds on the first one, almost seven seconds. Wow. So really whistle blows. One, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Then I start my shot. Three seconds, three and a quarter. The fourth p, p, p, p, p taker was 2.4. One in the last one of five point seven five. The important thing to tell the players is that they were purely in control and laser focused.
Mine games and body language. So they England. When they all came as a group together, they all started slowly shifting towards the center of the pitch. Right. Normally you're on the other side and slowly they all started moving arm and arm to the middle of the pitch. Body language control. Yeah, take the space show that you're dominating their kind of area. Right. Little, little mind games in that one.
Yeah. And then there's just they're talking about run ups and pretty much every but a really interesting article. If anyone is interested in some point, seriously, someone getting a PhD in anthropology needs to do a paper on that. Really. So, honestly, like that's cool. Really fast. That's crazy. I remember being in the World Cup final in Qatar and it went to penalties and being as nervous as a player. I was just like, I can't imagine. I was like, how calm and bad people was how calm messy.
I mean, it's fascinating. We're going to see penalties this weekend. I think over the next run, someone's going to draw. It's endless. So we'll see at least I think two, maybe three of the games go to penalties. Hopefully not the sounders. We've predicted the sounders will win broadcast in 4K. Yes, we are on the I Heart app. So it is a stream. We are also on serious XM channel 157. Series XM FC channel 157 Apple TV behind the paywall for this one. So, I think that's a good idea.
We'll definitely be worth tuning into because we've all predicted that the sounders will advance and you don't want to miss that. Sounders. In Frisco against Dallas, a chance to win and get a really big break. Otherwise, it'll be game three, which will be here. I think on the Friday. No, November 10th. I don't forget that date. Everyone just forget it. Let's just take care of business. We'll be back, of course, as I said, win or lose or draw, win or lose because it has to go.
And it's not extra time, right? Nope. Straight to penalties. Well, yeah. So it's what they do in the league. They did a fine place in where no games are tied. You go to penalties like the MLS to whoever you're a USL. I don't know what's called now. Where it's at your points. Yeah, yeah. No games are tied. There is, I want to talk about this real quick. But I think in MLS, next. Yeah, MLS, next. They've implemented some interesting new rules throughout the season. That's one of them.
Yeah. And there's also a rule where they're talking about you have 10 seconds to make your sub to get off the field. Oh, wow. If you don't, the player off the field has to wait a minute before they can come on the field. And then there's also some, if an injury is on the field and you're not actually, like if you actually need treatment, okay, head injury, dead, someone does their knee trainer has to come on the field.
But if it's one where you're rolling around asking for the foul and you stay on the ground longer than, I don't know what it is, like 15 seconds, you have to come off and sit for three minutes. Oh, my God. And so it is decreasing the time of the time wasting in the game, which I never thought about. But it's actually kind of interesting. So there's a penalty for simulation or time wasting while you're on the ground. Kind of interesting.
And we can dive into that more next week, but some possible new rules coming into the fold that they've implemented in MLS next. Yeah. Kind of interesting. Yeah. Really cool. And the penalty one, yeah, I know that one that no game ends in a tie. They go straight to penalties and then give it to one or the other. Which we might see in MLS this weekend. But we'll be back next week for the podcast after the sound is playing frisco and then potentially a game free, hopefully not.
We'll be back regardless. This has been Side by Side. Where you got your podcast, like, comment, subscribe. We'll be back next week.
