"Clothes in them for one. And on top of that, I feel like majority have majority of them. They have so many different settings that I was looking at it. And I was just like, I don't even know half of these settings are. I don't know, because in the states, it's just like hot, warm, cool, cool, not every single degree. It doesn't have all these different things. In England, there's a setting for quite dirty. How do you want your clothes? I love it quite dirty, very dirty or barely clean. Yeah, exactly. And then try to figure it out because mine also it dries and it washes and dries. Finally, I've never had one of those. And so trying to figure that out was just a mess as well. I'm like, oh God, I do remember being like one of my early months as an American over here when I was a teen, just like marveling at the size of the appliances. It does work both ways. And you are, you are quite a TikTok bloke. The dish soap video is definitely a double D all timer. But you had a lot of great hits over the past few years and we talked so much and think so much about the pressures of social media, how insidious it can be, but the reality is it also seems like such an incredible release for you. The flip side seems to be a place where you're having a great time. What role can social media serve in your life as a footballer? It almost seems for you. It's a what golf is to Gareth Bale, just like a waiter relax. Yeah, for sure. I mean, I think I'm generally, you know, jokes are creative, do different things. And TikTok is kind of my way, TikTok, not even just TikTok, social media in general is my way of connecting to all bunch of people to show them how I really am. So I think when you go on the pitch and you play, you obviously, you know, you see interviews, you see these things. Obviously, players are a little bit different than they are, like, behind closed doors. You know what I mean? And when you go on social media for me, that's where I could be more authentic where I can be more comfortable and have a little bit more release. And that's what I enjoy. I enjoy connecting with people. I enjoy having fun, I enjoy doing whatever, doing whatever I can, and having fun. Dream TikTok guest star someone you've always wanted to collab with. Honestly,

Dennis Talks to John Eastman, Former Legal Advisor to President Trump
"Eastman, welcome back to the Dennis prager show. Thank you so much, Dennis. It's a real pleasure to be back on your program. I hope you're doing well. Well, my standard answer for the last three years is better than my country. Yeah, no, we are in a crisis. The likes of which we've only seen a couple of times in our nation's history. And precious few people on our side of the political aisle seem to be aware of the press of this we're on. The only difference I have with you is I don't think it was a couple of times. I think it was once the Civil War. I don't think there was as dark a period at any time of a time in American history. Anyway, let's get to your state. So first, let's get the current condition is this a formal process. They have announced they wish to disbar you what is happening. Well, so this began with kind of a hyper partisan political group called states united democracy center. Filing complaint against me with this California bar back in October of 2021. Then of course that triggers either cursory or a more substantial investigation in response to the allegations in the complaint. All of that process is supposed to be confidential. But last march coincidentally on the evening before a major brief was due in a legal dispute I was having with the January 6th committee over privileged documents. The state bar announced that they were conducting an investigation in violation of the statute on confidentiality, exercising an exception at that statute that they could announce and investigation if the lawyer they were investigating was a threat to the public. This is rather extraordinary.

John Eastman Responds to Charges by the California State Bar
"Like the similar complaint filed against me with the Supreme Court of the United States By a group calling itself the 65 project the states united democracy centers complaint is full of falsehoods But the California bar nevertheless announced last march that it was conducting an investigation the existence of which is supposed to be confidential unless the bar determines as an astonishingly did here that the subject of the investigation is a threat to the public So their suggesting that John eastman Is a threat to the public During the course of that investigation the bar investigator sent me an extraordinary 38 page letter Centrally demanding I provide them with every bit of evidence and communication to support every line in every memo and communication I made Every complaint and brief I filed on behalf of the president every statement I made publicly And every article I published I think anything to do with the 2020 election I provided a fairly comprehensive response about a hundred pages And incorporating by reference thousands of additional pages in sworn affidavits expert reports court decisions scholarly articles clearly demonstrating the validity or at least the tenability The claims of election allowed illegality and fraud that I was making and the legal advice I was providing Unmoved by the massive amount of evidence and apparently under intense political pressure to take action against me the California bar has nevertheless filed a massive notice of disciplinary complaint Against me today which like the state united democracy center's complaint itself is filled with distortions half truths and outright falsehoods We will respond to each charge in due course but for now he has posted the response we provided last September to the bar's investigative letter

Kelly Tshibaka: Lisa Murkowski Is a Minion of the Establishment
"They're so disgusted with him interfering in the politics of Alaska and yet all that dark money flowing in the vast majority of it is coming from McConnell And the NEA Overwhelming Absolutely And unions that are supporting these leftist unions that are supporting Murkowski and you're absolutely right See the Republican Party censured Murkowski and removed her for membership before I announced my candidacy They said we don't know who we're going to put forward as our Republican candidate But in Alaska Lisa Murkowski is a minion of the establishment in D.C. and she pulls for Joe Biden She is voted with him 80% of the time she's confirmed a 100% of his judges She's confirmed nearly all of his radical nominees who've declared an all out energy annihilating assault on our industries in Alaska She is not the Republican candidate They decided that before I ever ran This wasn't about Chewbacca versus Murkowski This was just the Republicans calling it what it is My mom always told me if you call yourself one thing and then you do something else that's a lie And that's what's happening here The only way you can get elected in Alaska is to be a Republican under a traditional election system That's why Murkowski calls herself that But you're voting record doesn't lie Actions speak louder than words That's why the Republican Party is so upset with Mitch McConnell The Republican Party didn't start in Washington D.C. It started as a grassroots organization of like minded Americans who started out in the states United States of America of the people by the people for the people And the idea that our quote Republican leader is coming in and dominating and domineering over the decisions and the determination of the delegates of the party of Alaska telling us who we have to vote for against our will is extremely offensive

"It's all you need to know. But I am fascinated by your early impressions of the German footballing culture in that locker room at Borussia gladbach, the mentality, the level of competition. It is, it is so different to I'm guessing anything that you've experienced before in the United States. You see it on arsenal or nothing. I just was watching its, you know, it's life or death out there, and when you're in the locker room every single game means everything to these guys. You know, in the table, everyone wants to finish top four. Every single game is a battle every single game. We're fighting for everything. So in the locker room, everyone is full focused on the bus to the stadium. It's just dead silent, and everyone's like, we've all go out there, like it's our last game. In the U.S., you know, you could laugh in the locker room and play music dance. I remember at NYC we had like uncrustables in a bowl and everyone would just eat before the game. So it's totally different now. Eric ronalda was the first person to tell me that he couldn't believe and it took him forever to adjust to just how cutthroat German club football culture was when he arrived. Yeah, I think he missed a shot in a game and halftime laughed about it in the locker room and one of his teammates just came up and smashed him in the face with a clean for a young team. I mean, not only are the no one crushed the balls in Germany, but they're for the mentality. How was that to adjust their feet? You know, it's still, I need to fully adjust to it. I remember last week we had a very bad game in brahmin, and in the locker room, instantly everyone is smashing their cleats against the wall and me, I'm just like, you know, composed of course, you know, we need to play better, but I would never think to take my cleats smash it against the wall. We have guys flipping over like the laundry bins. It's really, like I said, life or death. You know, I need to fully get that mentality like these guys because it's crazy. It's everything. Did you feel self conscious at all? Did you feel you stuck out as an American in terms of the reception? That's always there, you know, they think Americans, no technique, like just American football players, athletics just want to wrestle. So of course, the players like to make fun of me about that and I think that's a stereotype that's going to stick with players for a while. Okay, before we go any further, a word about a film that's so bloody important, E 60, truth, be told. The world of women's football as you know has been living in the post yeats report shadow since it was released and that report a truly emotionally devastating read detailing among many counts of abuse, just numerous accounts of blatant, horrifying sexual misconduct, including 7 that had not been previously made public, as well as the failures of those in positions of power to act on those allegations when brought to them across every single level. Well, shortly after the report was made public, ESPN releases remarkable documentary looking into the route to those allegations and the many crises they sparked for NWSL in the words of our producer. So if you gator who covers the women's game here at the men in blazers, it's a very difficult watch, but ultimately a hopeful one, she said, and she hopes that the courage of women like mana shim. She need thoroughly and Aaron Simon to speak up will lead to genuine accountability

"You arrive in COVID, there's this patient approach to get you onto the field. Were you ever like, all right, let's get this skelly show on the road. They told me the plan away in advance. So, you know, I always trusted what they said just because they came to see me when I was 15 years old and flew for one day all the way from Germany, so how can I trust them? And what they did, the plan to play with the second team get used to German soccer the way it is, get used to the club the way they want to play. Less pressure, obviously with the second team. So those first couple months was just getting used to everything, have fun and then next year now let's get the show on the road and I think it's perfect the way they set it up. You can always tell yourself it could be worse, I could be in background to basic civilizations one O one at North Carolina. And here I am playing football. But how is your German? Because I met Christian early on at Dortmund. I think he was 60. And my God, that was some barrier. Even before the football, the language. It's very important for me to learn and I do lessons two times a week. Everyone here speaks English. It's great, but when you go team meetings are all in German. The training's all in German. So when you learn for this, but my problem is when I started when I first came, then Corona was really bad, so they wouldn't let meet the teacher anymore. So I had a good foundation, didn't work on it for three months, pretty much forgot it all. And that's just the same recurrence that keeps happening because when I go home for Christmas break or summer, you need to hear it every day to keep it going, but I have a little foundation built that I'm going to try and keep working on. I learned German solely by watching Jessie marsh's halftime team type test. Perfect.

"In blazers, media network. Suboptimal radio. You know, it's like I always live by this if I'm out there I deserve to be out there and I can do it. So when the coach gave me that start and that constantly need to play against these guys by going out there on the field it felt like a video game you know what these guys do like because this is what you don't feel so. Welcome to American states united presented by ESPN+. Our series of conversations with some of the biggest baby eagles plying their trade abroad and what an episode we have. But before we get into it, a quick word of appreciation for ESPN+ which I love that footballing buffet of offerings, a place where when I'm feeling bereft, then you know this happens often. I'm an Everton fan. I know that I can find football that will lift my spirits and just utterly engross me being played somewhere in the world much like the sun never set on the British Empire. Those were the sun now never sets on ESPN's football coverage. And what beautiful days these are because we begin with Bundesliga on Saturday. It all starts at 9 30 a.m. Eastern Time with our guest today, the great Joe Scalia, more with him here in a minute, Joe Russo munch and gladbach take on Wolfsburg 9 30 a.m. eastern and at two 40. That afternoon, it's only Norwich versus Watford. Will you be there for the Josh Sargent? He needs you. Gotta break down the game tape ahead of this World Cup and Sunday.

It's el classico time in La Liga Real Madrid versus Barcelona. These are classic weekends deserved to be savored, GFPs, and now that footballing Ponce de Leon, Roberto Lewandowski as bossa back on form, I absolutely can't wait to watch this. This one goes down Sunday, 10 a.m. eastern on ESPN+. Then, at 1130 a.m., it's a man who's doing everything he can to play his way onto that World Cup plane. Jordan P fock and union Berlin, you're legally does against baruch a Dortmund. What in the P four key doing Greg, what a weekend. And how can you watch all of this? On the ESPN+ sign up today. Add ESPN+ dot com slash GFP, but now to today's episode, my guest today is an emergent American start. One blessed with technical and tactical prowess, the intelligence, so the ability to read the game and the natural talent and a perpetual smile that sadly for me simply can not be taught. It's prolific rise with baruch munch and glad Bach in the Bundesliga. It's felt fast, but when you hear a story, you can see that it's been the result of years of humble, hard work, which promise much from this young man at the very beginning of his career. It's a joy to welcome the greatest J named gent out of late grove Long Island since John bellon from Bruce munch and glad back and your U.S. men's national team to mister Joe scaly. Hey Rach, thank you for having me. I want to go back to the beginning and like Mick Foley, Mariah Carey, and LL Cool J, you grew up on mighty Long Island, a world close enough to the bright lights of New York City to have that metropolitan melting pot feel. But far away to give an insular suburban existence. And you're now a worldly man. Well versed in European customs. What can you tell us about your bringing out there and how it shaped you as a person? Long island onion. To me, one of the best places in the world, I swear, it's the best. You know, you have the city style in 45 minutes from where I'm from. Some people here can be there in ten minutes. And then you have the ocean where you feel like you're on vacation. You get basically everything you need. In the summer you have the beach and in the winter, you have snow. It's the best place. Oh, and young Joe scally said, I'm never gonna leave here. Long Island. Oh, wow. When I was younger, I would have never said I would leave it because in the summertime going to the beach, barbecues on the weekend. Then snowstorms in the winter. I mean, you can't beat it. Nothing's gonna drag me out of this place, but from a sports perspective, Long Island is a singularly ferocious place strong island from a football reality. It's highly, highly competitive, Homer the likes of Chris Armas might pet key. Ali long, my mate crystal Dunn, who all came of age there and a truly tenacity, personified and if you have kids who play football in the New York area, you know, football parents all over the region are bonkers, but Long Island parents, they take it to 11. It's a step up, yeah. I would definitely have to agree with that. And I'd say from my parents, it's my dad. I mean, my mom was my coach. She was my coach back at sachem, the school of the town team. Oh, hey all the seat jump tomahawks. Yeah, that's my mom's team. We have Margaret to thank for what she's given us. And the parents, there's no doubt for them. Each one of their kids are playing for the U.S. exactly. What are you yesterday? It's intense, they're mentality. Every parent believes that. So, you know, you got the parents screaming on the sideline. That's why the atmosphere here isn't different. Maybe it's worse when you have the parents treatment right next to you. Yeah, I've got to say, the Bundesliga is famed for its fan passion, the yellow wall like 50, 60,000 human beings just passionate. I'm like, it's impressive. Going to regain there is amazing. But it's nothing like a Long Island. Nothing. I think the passion is nothing. And you just have to witness it yourself to really understand it. That's why it's funny. You were a Jew athlete in your youth. A scanning point guard, with cool awareness like the bastard off spring of Steve Nash and savvy, if they'd had a baby. And this is super common for American kids to try their hands at a variety of sports and even excel in more than one. Save some athleticism for the rest of us, Joe. But what would you say the impact of this cross disciplinary upbringing was on how you developed as an athlete? On the island you try every sport. Growing up I played soccer basketball and the cross for a little bit, but I hated wearing all the equipment that wasn't for me. I would feel like I'm going to pass out when I had to do that. So I played basketball my whole life. That was neck and neck with soccer. One of my old coaches, Frank Schmidt, he always said that I would have never been the soccer player I am if I didn't play basketball, which now I understand because versatility looking around awareness each sport correlates with each other. It is fascinating. I remember the 2014 World Cup. I think it was jerky love with his German team for the first week of camp before the World Cup. He wouldn't let them play football, he just had them playing basketball for the first week so they could get their spatial awareness in perfect combo and Steve Kerr, Golden State Warriors has come on our show and talked about he likes basketball players who've played football for the opposite but similar reason. Can you talk about how it's helped you get? Yeah, basketball is definitely help move my awareness and my defense. I mean always growing up in soccer I played midfielder so you'd think my defense is not good because when you play midfield, it's now you're attacking. When I had a convert from midfielder to write back, it was so easy for me because in basketball it's always one of the one defense shuffling your feet moving around and sometimes it's harder to defend the basketball which made it easier in soccer. That's why it was natural to just switch from offense to defense. Never let them go baseline just. I heard that a hundred times from my dad. If they go baseline, and he still uses that term on playing soccer. He's like, don't let them go baseline when it's not baseline and soccer, but I just have that stuff in my head. Oh, so funny. God love your father. He has to shout it in German now. Unfortunately for the next, your talent on the football pitch became increasingly difficult to ignore, and you dedicated yourself solely to the sport after middle school, you

"It. I decided to present the United States first and foremost because it's the country I was born in. I think it makes sense to represent that. And you can't spell Musa without USA. On the field, what's it like to try and build an instant connection with the likes of pulisic, western McKinney, Tyler Adams. Can you talk about what it's like to work out how to bring the best out of each of those guys? It was quite simple actually. You see what they're good at. And then you let them do it. That's it. You see what a good idea let them do it. So Christian is good at receiving the ball in pockets. So I'll give the bull and I know he'll be able to do something for example. And western, given the boys will give him space and you'll turn and dribble past people really easy to understand. You know that good at it. So let him do it. When you look at Tyler Adams, what do you think? This guy will hold out that we feel like he would start anyone that comes there with a boy so clean as well so we just have quick tight connections and we play through teams like that. We just pass move, touch the ball. We might deal one too. I don't know it, but it's because things that I think are not true in people style of players. When you're up so that style of play is similar, it just clicks. The role you play in World Cup qualifying was so bloody impressive, but still to me, under sung, you impressed even the most jaded fans with your ability to navigate yourself out of the tightest spaces. You just how do you describe what you bring to the team in your own words? Trust putting me in so many matches in the qualifiers. I'm grateful for that. And I feel like in the team, I give a lot of dynamic movements. I help bring the ball forwards up the pitch. I feel like that's what I do. It allows us to break the other team's press and get into the final fed. Those Eunice moose runs up the middle, big train coming. I think I did a lot. There's something I enjoy doing. It feels good to be able to be of a players and then give a nice pass afterwards. You are an incredible player on the pivot receiving the ball facing your own goal and before we know it, you charging towards the opposition end. When you play on the half turn like that, you can't see what's behind you. How do you do it? Is it like a 6th sense? Is it just a feeling? The guy that's going to pass you the ball is ready to go and you just check his behind you. It's important to just check your shoulders. That's not an easy skill to do because you want to focus on when the voice come in, you know. But yeah, it's important to check your shoulders and you know your surroundings like that. So watching American David silver at times. When the U.S. finally qualified for the World Cup, almost a year to the day after you committed your international future to the team. Describe those emotions Eunice Musa World Cup coming. I feel like we could finally breathe. Finally breathe and it's not easier to qualify for a World Cup. I know that now. I was just trying to live the moment and think back of all the matches and all the hard work we put in and finally enjoy that moment of now we've done it. We're now going to go to the World Cup. Wow. There's a clip that came out right afterwards on the team plane back from, I think, Costa Rica. 19 year old Gio rayner 20 year old gianluca boutier and you just hit in the Gritty down the aisle of the team plane. And I watch that Eunice. You suddenly look like you are just a bunch of young Friends, young mates have in the time of your lives and living out your dreams together. Is that what it feels like to you? Very much. That was it. And it was like, we don't care. We qualify for the World Cup, you know, we don't care what anyone says. We're trying to enjoy ourselves out here. We quite excited for the whole cup, yeah? That was all that moment was about. You couldn't have had more coffee with Jade ourselves. Lastly, that's it. I'm a new citizen of the United States and it really is the honor of my life to be here. And I'm fascinated to hear having played for the United States units through this Concacaf qualifying journey. Bonding with your teammates representing this nation. In your own words, has it changed or deepened the connection that you feel to the United States? Yeah, a 100%. Now I'm closest to the guys. I know just the guys playing in the stadiums in the U.S. with those funds is such a great way. These guys seeing the whole match saying your name. They're great finds. They go find the funding with them is amazing. And it makes you feel a part of the culture. And you remember that forever. In terms of what American football is, you know, Christian politics talked about his goal with this team is to redefine what the world thinks about American football. Having played inside the team now, what would you describe American football as? Well, American football now. So the style of play where we are so good with the ball, but not just with the ball. Without the rule, we kill teams with a press and the intensity that we bring for our partners is a really tough way to play against us. It's really tough. When you think about the World Cup now, it's just three months away. What are you picturing? What do you imagine? Would you hope to achieve? That group stage is so important to be able to get through that. I feel like we as a group will be very disappointed if we don't achieve anything in the group change because of the talent and the quality and who we are. I feel like that's a very something we need to do. U.S. are going to play England, November 25th, two teams you could have played for. It's the Eunice mussa Derby. Yeah, yeah. How much are you looking forward to that one? What do you expect to feel?

"And black. African. I'm American. I'm Muslim. I'm Italian. I'm English, and I'm an immigrant. And a citizen of the world. You know, a citizen of the world, there's something truly beautiful in that. Can you talk about how you experience this wonderful collection of identities? I'm all of these cultures and equally so but America and Ghanaian Italian English. And they're such wonderful gods is that I love all of them and I'm part of all of them, you know, I'm part of one of them. That's me. I don't need to pick one, you know? I enjoy being able to say that, yeah, from all of this countries. I think a lot of football people expected you to stick with England with the players that you knew, the system you'd come through in. But instead, you made a glorious moose a swerve and decided to commit to the United States of America and Eunice. I know Greg bought a worked hard recruiting year he'd invited you to camp in 2020, had you play two friendlies with the team. Can you take us inside those conversations that you'd had with him and what you two discussed and what you ultimately worked out? Which was the assistant coach above telling me about the plans of the national team, how the team is changing and they're trying to get players like me involved and just it's a young group at the moment, you know? So that's what it was and they're looking into qualifying for this World Cup and being able to carry on developing us to the 26th World Cup. Having the U.S. versus the manager calling me 17 was huge. He was going to be like the under 20s manager something but the first he manager that could be. So that was a huge respect and huge honor to have. Yeah, they told me no pressure, obviously I don't have to make a decision now. The law enforcement to make any decisions. And that made it easier for me. Ultimately, you said my heart told me to make this choice with the United States and I stuck with that. But what was it that clinched a decision for you? Was it like at Valencia simply the prospector becoming a central player much sooner than you would have been able to say with England or Ghana was that just so tantalizing or was there something about playing for the United States specifically that helped you make this decision? Yeah, I was like this could be something that was meant to be. It wasn't a coincidence that I was born in New York and now I'm getting a call from the manager to play for the national team representing a country I was born in, you know, as a huge privilege for me and that was a big part in the decision just representing the country I was born in. Was part of it the same as arsenal and Valencia that the pathway to a first team place felt close up. Yeah, a 100%, 100%. That definitely kicked him my mind thinking, I'm playing in the first team earlier, being able to play in that men's team at this age is huge and being out of account in November. I just love that came so much. And I was like, this is something I want to be part of. I remember talking to all the national team players back then around that camp you just and they all talked about how hard they were working behind the scenes. Tyler Adams, Gio rayner Christian Pulisic that they were just all over your social, being like, come on, come and play, man. Just constantly hammering you. Did you feel that? Yeah, yeah. That is a great guy. I love being of them in camp. We're kind of very similar. It's a young group, so you feel like you're from the same generation. You like the same kind of things. You talk the same, you can't judge. The vibe is the same and you feel at home, you know? It's a great time. And that culture just love it. Yeah, the U.S. men's national team is an incredibly tight knit group now. A lot of those players Tyler, western, Christian, have known each other since they were 1213 years old. You know, you've proven yourself time and time again. So incredible and adapting to new environments. But I'm curious, it was a time lag between when you officially committed. And when you truly felt like part of the team, or was it immediate? I say it was immediate because I was like, whatever happens, I can't be like, I wish I stayed a plan for England and stuff like that. I'm committed and I'm going to do my best to make it work. Your team video announcement so many American fans hearts skipped

"A man of action and a man of action now, but it took just one year of the Valencia academy. Before you were promoted to the first team, making your La Liga debut at 17 years and 8 months old, starting against Levante and becoming depending on which nation's journalist was writing the story, both the first English man and the first American to debut for the club. When you stepped onto the field, fulfilling your dream to be a professional footballer at such a young age, take us back to that debut unis when you stepped on the field ahead of the game. What did it feel like finally making it as a pro were you excited? Were you nervous? Were you in awe? Give us a sense of the emotions. Yeah, firstly, I was shocked that I was starting. That was the biggest shock. I was expecting hopefully I'll get 5 minutes or something from the bench, but I started the game, and yeah, I was like, oh, these 5 players were talking to me, telling me to have confidence, giving me advice on what to do on the pitch. And I thought a lot of pressure, obviously, because it's my chance and I have to take it out of time, you're like, okay, you've done this a lot of times, just chill out. Remember what you can do? Remember you're good at this. Keeping yourself with confidence, but also very focused. I was like, yo, this is what I've wanted. Let's take the chance, man. Let's go do it. When these old Spanish pros, we're trying to give you advice before the game. Will you just hearing mumble mumble mumble? Or could you hear what they were saying? I'd be so nervous, man. I actually like fully listened to what they'll say, 'cause I was like, these guys know what they're talking about, you know? Let me just listen carefully. I do what they say. You quickly broke two more records, just two months later, as the first non Spanish player to ever score for Valencia and becoming Valencia's youngest goal scorer this century. Sending eyebrows raised across the world with Eunice and exhilarating beauty of a breakaway solo ghoul against guitar, November 2020. I want to relive this moment with you. How did it feel like goals 17 years old? The ball dropping to your feet in your own half so much distance to go with deciding like a kick returner taking it to the house. What goes through your mind on a run like that? Avoid immediately like, I've got so much space behind the back line there. I'm quick. Let's take them for a run, really. Chef running next to me that I could have asked you, but I wanted to score and also I trusted in my ability to be quick, you know, and be the defender. Every app is really fast. The decision you have to make. I'm running with a bull. And after control it well, I have to check if after pass it to cherish her for not. And then look at the keeper. When you pull your foot back, you just, and you're like, oh my God, I better not F this up, but after coming all this way. Yes, you think that as over like, once I look at the key on the go, that's what I decide where to put it. I took the decision and if when you scored, what does that feel like celebrating a goal in La Liga? Was that a moment like I belong? You said that you said it. A year ago, I was struggling in the BT and then scoring a goal now. What a feeling something that I dreamed of a very long time. Finally happens. I was just trying to enjoy the moment and enjoy the match. Before we get into the U.S. men's national team portion of your journey, we want to remind everyone that the only place they can watch you play club

"In this case, everyone wants to have pride everyone needs their fries. You earn a lot of respect in the cages. So tough environment in the stuff environment. And now it's going to have a losing. Everyone needs to win. It's a cage of stuff. You don't get away with it in the cages. And that's how you learn how to be smart as well. I still played in the cage as well. And I was like, when I was young, not in the latest age, but when I was young, I still blame the cages, and I had to be careful to not get injured and stuff like that. You know, but I just loved it. So shortly after you arrived, you won a place at the arsenal academy. At that age was the football different in England at the arsenal academy than what you were used to in Italy. Yes, yes. When I played my first game that Austin signed me up, that game felt like quite normal, just football. But then in the training sessions, that's when it was different, you had to learn a lot of tactical stuff, technical stuff, those mannequin drills, repetitiveness. Just give you so much detail that obviously academies give you that level, which was different. And I was just so eager to learn that eventually I was able to learn a lot. You were with arsenal for 7 years working your way up the academy ladder alongside the likes of baca saka. Emile Smith Rowe, following ballagan, with whom you played in the under 18s, even though you were year or two younger than them. Can you take us back to the conversations you had with those gents? We all like, we are going to play for arsenal and we're going to win it all. We will focus, obviously, on the present, which was like winning whatever we had in those age groups. But everyone in their minds obviously wants to get to the top. So I remember these players being just like they are now one of the best at what they do, but for example, I remember people telling him he wouldn't be able to play like that in the highest level, but he is there in the other highest level. So credit to him, vlog, a guy. What about a meal Smith? Familial, I was going so much better in his last years in the academy. He was always good, but he even got stronger and he just transformed each transfer that became how he is now. And then Riley, so he earned his place in the first team. And what was following? It was like really good at finishing physical strike car. It was called very clinical. Wasn't that clinical at the beginning, but these guys were so hard. You just see the changes, just from hard work. But how did your own game change that? I was really, really sloppy with passing out the miss out so many bosses and just sitting mistakes, you know, stuff like that. I heard a coach that it was onto me about it. It was like, you have to do this, you have to get them right. You have to get them right. I had so many bubbles in my process as well, it got me to be able to take the bubbles out, the controls, all of those things. I say when I was like 13, 14, that's when I started cleaning my game up a bit more. I'm still trying to clean it up now because, yeah, it's not easiest thing to do, but I'm getting there. I'm not naturally technical, but I've worked on it, and now I can say that I'm technically I'm all right. God, I would say that and then some, but you were watching arsenal first team players like Olivier Giroud and Mesut Özil and you continue to be inspired continue to rise. Arsenal offered you a scholarship contract at age 16 to stay with the club. But you Eunice are a choose your own adventure kind of guy, and you seize the chance to move to Spain instead, signing for Valencia, the history club on the Spanish Mediterranean who produced the likes of David Silva and it was a big bold move as a 16 year old and you talked at the time of wanting a quicker clearer path to the first team in Spain that you would have had an arsenal. Can you describe your thinking in that moment? Yeah, after all these years I've had an arsenal. I love the club so much. That was my place. And then yeah, it came to this point where I was like, okay, it's also not going to push me to get to where I want when I want. So it didn't look like it. I was going to probably start off with an 18s and then the 23s. And then from there, we'll see, you know, we'll see. But Valencia on the other hand, lucky enough for me, they offered me to be able to go there and play in diabetes team, which played in the third division in Spain, which was big. And then training with the first team whilst I'm doing that, that would be pushing me to get to the first team, you know? So I was like a big prospect to be in that first team at Valencia. That was what made my decision clear to go to Valencia because my dream was to play professional football, playing first in football. I felt like I had the ability to do it. I went and tried out try today and yeah. I think that decision to move from arsenal, I was like, if I do this, whatever happens in my time at Valencia, I'm not going to be like, I wish I did a move. I would actually try my best to make that situation work. That was my mentality at the time.

"And that just 19 years of age, he's already accomplished more than most of us hope to accomplish in our entire lifetimes. A kismet Phil journey towards the U.S. men's national team and the World Cup by way of one of the most fantastic of odysseys that includes stops in Veneto, Italy, the arsenal, academy, and La Liga in Spain. And of course, an origin story, thank God, located here in New York City. Welcome to Valencia and U.S. men's national team midfield prince to mister Eunice Musa. Hello. It's great to be with you, mate. I was going to be a big me up a lot there. Now thank you. Honestly, I can't pick you up enough, you know. I want to go back to the beginning. You were born in The Bronx in 2002. Your parents have both gone there and they were living in Italy at the time, and this is the incredible moment. Your mom happened to be in New York, visiting a brother, your uncle for a couple of months in the boogie down Bronx. She was pregnant and you were born here. Tell us the story as it's told in your family. My father struggled his way from Ghana, was in Italy. He sacrificed himself to give me and my brothers a better life. My mom was pregnant and she had to go take care of some family stuff in The Bronx. I saw one day, you know? Crazy. Even though you move back to Italy, almost immediately a couple of months later, and you wouldn't see the United States again until you were 18 years of age. Was this American connection? Your place of birth, your American citizenship, was it something as a kid that you always felt made you a bit special? Not everyone in Europe has to say that women in America, right? Now it's a huge thing. And I'll tell you, you know, to always be able to say that I was born in America, you know? When you live in a place, you always look at others and be like, oh, well, if I lived over there and stuff and being in Europe, nice, but you just see the American culture and people are so into that. You know, people listen to the music, going up, you realize how big American rappers are, you have Beyoncé and 50 cent. And all these that were played so much back when I was in Italy actually, I remember. Remember my brother playing some acorns. I love the songs, you know? The food chains are everywhere. The American culture is great really. And now every time I go over the national team, I get to connect with this special. We've got acon to thank retrospectively. But until you were 9 years old, you lived in Castel Franco Veneto, a town in northern Italy, about 25 miles inland from Venice, no one for the medieval fortress walls which surround the old city, and it was there that you first started to play football with your older brothers on a field across from your house. Can you take us to those early days, describe the field, the games, the style of play, the fight? It was amazing. In the summer days, I would leave the house, like 3 o'clock when the heat started coming down a bit, and then it would just play on that field for ages. From 3 o'clock to like 10 o'clock, you know, it would be outside, not even playing football, but just playing chase in Iran and all of that stuff going on bikes. And just being very active, you know? My older brothers being physical and his friends being more physical. After develop some way, you know, Jared play with them because otherwise I wouldn't be able to play with them. So that helped me a bit in my development as a young player as a young kid in general. What kind of a play was young youness? An element of why I'm now three people, which was really fun. As a child of immigrants, do you feel like playing football in Italy help you integrate? Into Italian culture? Yeah, yeah, yeah, a 100%. I feel like wherever I've been, not just in Italy, but whoever I've been for is the star and play for me connected with people. That's my way of connecting with people. That was the first thing that made things easier. Being able to play football with evil. You can't have under respected me like that. And you start hanging around with them. After that first, kick it out. That's amazing. Just give me the ball. I never think it's going to be okay. When you were playing back then, and your eyes as a kid, and your dream. What did you think was possible? As a kid where you're like, World Cup, here I come. When I was young, playing in giorgione in Italy, I was like, yeah, I want to play in the first thing. I love seeing them train out the stadium and stuff. They look so cool, or they did. One day I want to be playing that first team. Who was your team? Who did you support as a kid? I think when I was in Italy, I definitely went to. When you were 9 years old, your family moved to London. So I didn't understand it. I was like, I don't want to go with my friends here, but no, it happened so quick and a couple of weeks in. I started actually liking London because I started learning about the city and everything. And that 2012 summer, that was a great summer. I was just playing football at the parks. Guys would come out of the pathway in the cages. East London where I grew up is such a big place in football. Everyone wants to play. And there's a lot of good players, so it wasn't easy in the cajuns playing against the older guys. Can you take us into those cages? Mesut Özil came on and told us he learned to play football in cages and it's just like the greatest environment that allows you to develop your skills. Can you take us into the East London cages? Tell us what that was like. That footballing culture and how it shaped you.

"Knit drafting sportsbook minimum age and eligibility restrictions apply, see show notes for details. Matt Turner, I can't tell you how magical it has been to watch your journey. I remember after the gold Cup final last summer, you tell reporters, I don't think I ever would have pictured myself playing in a final against Mexico when I first had dreams of playing soccer. And now, now I'm sort of addicted to that feeling. Can you articulate that feeling for those of us that are still waiting for our call up? It is larger than life. Think about the thing that you've worked hardest for in your whole life and coming to fruition. And then being tested on one of the biggest stages imaginable, and it going perfectly. You know, that's like a rush. It's like you're gambling. You play in red or black on the roulette table and you pick red and your whole life savings on it and you hit euphoria and I'm glad that I found that addiction on the soccer field and not actually at the roulette table. Football is a hell of a drug. Your average goalkeeper starts in gold. Let's say 7 years old. That means you roughly 9 years behind and the goalkeeping position if you just said is one which is really you mature into it. You're deep into your 30s. Is it possible that we're not going to be seeing peak mat Turner until 2031? I'd say so. I still feel young. I still feel really, really great. I still wake up every day eager to learn and to get better. I come into every day thinking to myself, I can learn something today. What's it going to be? How can I get a little bit better? How can I improve? Listen, it's not a daily mantra, but that's just how I always feel as I step onto the field. So yeah, I think it's definitely possible. I think I'll continue to improve for many, many years. And then when I can't move as well after 20, 31, then I'll continue to get better because I'll figure out ways to make the game easier for myself and I'll sort of streamline it. And I'm hoping to play into my 40s. That ten year list of goals. That's on my list of goals. My real goal is to play a professional soccer game with my son. However, if he doesn't want to play soccer, I will be okay with that. But that's the goal. If he's like 16, 17 year old phenom, and I can tough it out for two or three more years and just get one game. That'd be it. Would you advise him to be a goalkeeper? No. You take dude, we need a number 9, get on it. Yeah, I would say I would just say go score goals, go have fun. 'cause this is fun while I train, but in the game, it's not so fun. So you go have fun out there. Matt, I gotta say, I find, and I think anyone that's listened to this will agree, you are truly bloody inspirational, really a testament to belief, tenacity to never taking no to believing that there's always another level. The Robert Frost poem, the road taken two roads diverged in a wood and I took the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference. You have walked a footballing road less taken. What is it about you? What quality do you have that there's enabled you to do this? One, it's the support from my family. From the people that have always seen me compete from a young age, they've always just stuck by me and they always believe that I could achieve whatever I set my mind to achieve. And that's a really great feeling when you have people in your corner that even when it doesn't go right, you can always look at them and they'll put their arm around you and say that they're proud of you. At the end of the day, that's all it really matters before every game I think to myself just put forth a performance that you can look yourself in the mirror and say that you're proud of and then you can look your family in the faces and they'll be proud of you as well. And then I think the other thing is that competitiveness when I was a kid, I didn't really know how to harness it. So I was the POS. I don't know if I'm allowed to curse on this show or not. But I was kind of a piece of. I was so competitive. I didn't know how to harness all of it. So I would cry, you know? Like if I was on the basketball court and I would get fouled or ref wouldn't call it or ref called a, I would just, I couldn't control my emotions, you know? And I think it was like embarrassing for my parents at some level sometimes, you know? Or if I struck out in baseball or rolled over a ball, I should have hit over the fence. I've smashed my bag, my helmet. I was horrible kid, you know? But it was like all of a sudden it changed when I got into soccer. I figured out the way to harness that competitive energy and instead of using it to get upset, I used it to get better and to work at things. And I think that that's what being a goalkeeper, you need to have a little bit of calm about you. And that's been really the challenge of my life was to figure out how to keep that rage and those tantrums like calm and use it as energy to continue to work harder and continue to get better. If I could take you Back to the Future style in a Delorean, what would you tell yourself if we could go back to your freshman year of high school at night after you'd first played football? When you didn't want to go back to practice, when you thought about quitting the squad, what would Matt Turner today say to Matt Turner back then? Knowing what you do now. I don't know if I would say anything because I had enough people in my life that set me on the right path. One of my favorite parts about my whole journey is that I really lived all along the way. I never felt when I was 14, 15, 16, I can't do this because I'm trying to do that. I had the same college experience that most Americans that I went out, I partied. I had fun. I drank was drinking in people's backyards in the Woods by trampolines in high school, you know? Running away from the police. You know, it was all those things. I had that childhood and I would never want to take that away from 14 year old Matt Turner. So I think that all those things that were really great to have those experiences was amazing. I think you just look at young mat and just saying, Matt, let's ride. I like that. Let's ride, yeah. I literally said that to Ashton so far. You should kill me for it. My Turner, you are a great American. I am so humbled and honored to have this window into your life at this incredible moment in your career in your life. You're living that a lot of life and to hear you talk about it. So beautifully, it's inspiring. Thank you, man. Godspeed. Thanks for having me on Raj, it's always a pleasure. Thank you.

"It's not about you anymore. It's about the whole collective, and it's about what you guys are representing. So for us, with the national team, being the change. So now you're part of this group that's trying to inspire change in different areas. You don't want to just say it. You know, you don't want to just say it in the media. You have to reflect that with your performances as well. In my opinion. Concacaf qualifying is some oddity, the heat on the road, 85° humidity in Panama City, to that wind chill of minor 17 in Minnesota. What was the most important lesson you learned about yourself Matt in the crucible of Concacaf World Cup qualifying? Some of the most challenging games I've ever played in between the changing conditions, the hostile fans, as the United States, you get everybody's best shot. You know, it's funny looking at the crowds that other teams play in front of when it's not the united states. It's significantly different. But personally, it's about focusing on yourself, but understanding what you need to do to help the team get the result that they need. It's just about the results. So whatever your role becomes, whether that's the first string, whether that's the backup, you got to do that role to the best of your ability. You got to make sure that first keeper is ready to go. He's feeling good because being a fan in 2018, feeling the disappointment of not qualifying. And now having an opportunity to make the team as good as possible and get back to the World Cup, it's bigger than one person. It's bigger than yourself. That's a crazy thing you've just said and you tweeted the same thing when you qualified and I loved it. I remember where I was when we felt it qualified for 2018. I couldn't fathom that as I found those with your words and they said the sure as hell didn't think I'd have anything to do with getting our country back to the World Cup. I read that. I was like, oh my God, that Turner, just a fan in 2018, you are essentially the last starfighter, a hero plucked out of the ether with the skills to save the world, but to qualify for the World Cup now from fan two goalkeeper U.S. men's. What does that feel like? Tremendous pride. And I hope that someday somebody talks in an interview and says, I heard Matt Turner's story, I was down on myself and I wanted to give up on playing soccer, but I stuck through it and I have my opportunity with the national team or I have the opportunity with my club team that I always dreamed of. That's the feeling because for me, it's been obviously a lot of ups and downs, twists and turns. And to have the opportunity to play in a World Cup, the event that ignited my passion for the game of football, the game of soccer. It's just this full circle that I almost feel like the main character of TV series, you know, because sometimes it just feels surreal that things line up the way that they do for me. But I know that it's not an accident. It's surreal. It's something truly paranormal about the Matt Turner career, and it is utterly all the better for that. I need to ask you in terms of the U.S. team. You caught in somewhat of a goalkeeper quarterback controversy with Zack Stefan, Ethan Hawke, Sean Johnson, all of you getting minutes. How do you experience that from the inside? Like, how do you fathom an experience that? The way I look at it is I have a tremendous trust in Greg. And so whatever Greg thinks is what's best for the team, I'm going to go and support that wholeheartedly. Obviously, I have my own beliefs and I love playing. I want to play. I want to represent the country. I want to play at the World Cup. However, if Greg were to decide it's someone else, that's going to be playing the games. I would support that decision and I would support the team and I would obviously be disappointed. I'm not going to go down without a fight, but it's just something that at that moment, 8 years of angst and I are from the fans is like, okay, this isn't about me. This isn't about my disappointment. This is about us going out there and putting out the best performance that we possibly can so that those fans that have waited since 2014 to see our country at a World Cup again can enjoy the experience and we can give them what they want. Your manager keeps talking about how he wants to keep it that can play with his feet and apart from a blip against Canada, you look very, very, very solid with that ball at your feet. When it said about you that you need to work on your footwork when the balls play back to you, does it create an extra seed of doubt in your decision making or do you have the mental techniques to shut that down? That's a loose narrative now because I've gotten a lot better over the last I mean, if anyone's paying attention over the last 12 months, they would have seen a tremendous improvement. For me, it doesn't really matter what anyone says. I know what I offer on the field now. I know my understanding of the game has been getting so, so much better. And how I can hurt other teams is getting so much better and how I can help my teams that I play on is getting a lot better. So for me, I understand that there's areas of improvement. That's one of them, but I'm the type of person that in order to get the opportunities that I've gotten, I've always tried to look at every part of my game as an area of improvement as an area where I can work on it to get sharper, get better instead of punching that ball. How can I catch it? Instead of pairing that one there, how can I carry that one a little further up the field or a little wider, keep it from going out for a corner. So I'm the type of person that's always being critical of myself and trying to finagle the game and make it as easy as possible for me.

"You a contract in 2016, loan you out to the USL team Richmond kickers for two seasons and you didn't make your MLS debut until 2018 within two years of that debut, you'd work your way from third string keeper to MLS goalkeeper of the year and I've got to say this part of the journey, it's not massive money football. It's not always glamour with the movements along the way that you thought, you know what? This is not for me. That never crossed my mind. And I think that's due to the fact that I never achieved some of the goals that I set out to achieve when I was in college or even in high school. I was never a first team all conference selection. I was never a goalkeeper of the year. I was always this under the radar. I'll call it underappreciated part of teams. So to win goalkeeper of the year, it was weird. That was more individual awards than I won my entire life besides for like a coach's award or a hustle award. You know, those kinds of things I always won those always won those ones, yeah. At that point, I knew that individual awards, they don't define a person. It's all about the team's success. And that's where my mentality was at. And once my team started doing better, the individual awards came after. In your success with the revs, inevitably put you in the national team site. There's something I've never told anybody and if I want to tell you because this is just a great space. My first national team January camp was in January of 2020 from four COVID. And it was me, Sean Johnson and Bill comedian at camp. And so we decided to split games three ways. We were playing against Orlando city B and like a closed door friendly. I got the ball on the right side of the box. And I see my left back making a run out of the left side. And I go to throw it to him and he's running and then he looks away from me. It was Brian kyo. And as I go to throw it, I try to hold it back rush and it goes straight into the goal. That was my first appearance with the national team. And I was devastated. And that's when I thought that's it. I swear. I never really told anybody that story. So there you go. There's your breaking news. I can't believe I just said that out loud. That's been like one of the best kept secrets in sports. But Greg will remember that well. The blunder two electric boogaloo. The blunder too electric boogaloo. Unreal. And you were like, that's it. I'm done. I've done myself in in that moment. I said, you know what? It's been a great ride. I'm enjoying my time in New England. That's all it'll ever be. The world shuts down after that. Pandemic was almost the best thing to happen to me because people forgot about everything that happened. So it was almost like a clean slate. And that's how I took it. And my first game back from the pandemic was MLS is back tournament. And we beat Montreal one zero and I made a great save in stoppage time to keep it one zero. And that built my confidence. My goal was to make it as hard as possible for Greg to not call me in again. And so I got the opportunity and January of 2021. It got called in. Who calls it? Greg, he called me and said, let's get to work. This is a big camp. You have every opportunity here. And let's get started. And for me, how I felt was just thank God he didn't bring that other thing up. First of all, and two, it's just like, it's in the past. It was a year ago now. 2021 is such a busy year for the national team. I'm going to have an opportunity to play if I make the most of this camp. But as a goalkeeper, you can't let your mistakes define you. And to have mistakes and have bounced back from them, it's a really important feature to have. Can I just tell you, as a new immigrant to the United States, a new citizen? I always love the pregame national anthem. But no one sings it better than you. I appreciate you saying that. You know, I take a lot of pride in that. I love this country. I sing it loud and proud, you know? Because that's who I am. I like to think I'm a decent singer. You know, I was saying in the choir back in the day. Before my voice dropped, so I have to find a new range. And sometimes my voice is feeling good, and I can hit all of the range in the same octave, but sometimes when it gets to certain parts of the anthem, I gotta drop it down and octave, you know? So hopefully it gets me at the right time, the camera. I need to know, does it feel different pulling on the U.S. Jersey from a nerve's perspective, or does it just feel like another game? Definitely different. Definitely feels, and I'm sure I'll feel the same way once I'm in London. The scope of what you're representing becomes so much bigger than you. You become part of this bigger brotherhood,

"Remaining a stag in the spring of my sophomore year. The summer rolls around and everything changed. Yeah, you come back was human tenacity personified. You proceeded to win back the starting spot, lead the country and save and shut out percentages of following Caesar. And there's something, well, there's a lot really, but there's something I really admire about you, Matt. It was around this time that you became a gent who started to write down these goals. When you first started writing down goals back then. What really realistically was on your list? The guy I mentioned before, Michael O'Keefe, we sat down together and he helped me talk through my goals, you know? Because he was somebody that went through the three and a half or four year process and had a tremendous success. So I asked him to help me. It actually took a lot of reflection because I didn't really know. I felt like I made it, you know? The vision once college soccer, I made it. So there was short term, which were more like academic or seasoned based. There was midterm, which was like, okay, I'm still mostly academic based. And then some soccer as well. Okay, I want to squat this much and bench press this much and do this many chin ups and weigh this much. Those kinds of things. And then there was long-term, which were more like, okay, I want to become the captain, which I achieved, to become first team all conference, which I actually never achieved, to win goalkeeper of the year, never achieved. When a Mac trophy, a lot of which didn't come true. But then there was like long shots and that was become a professional soccer player. That is the part of the journey we're about to dive into because as goal oriented as you were, the road was still filled with one sucker punch after another. You weren't invited to the MLS combine. You weren't drafted. You professional career, honestly, looked dead in the water until your agent channeled Jerry Maguire and convinced Remy Roy the New England revolution goalkeeping coach to invite you to preseason camp and give you a chance. And so much of your career has been defined by these kinds of moments, people giving you an opportunity, a chance, even though on paper you didn't have the right qualifications. What do you think it is about you, Matt Turner, that inspires people to gamble on your potential? I've never really thought of that piece of it because it has always been that way. I've never had the resume. I've never had the background that people might want for their positions, but I think what makes people want to gamble on me is just my mentality every day. You know, it's the way I hold myself to a certain standard. It's the way I'm self aware with the fact that I know I don't have a lot of experience, but I can offer you this, this and this. And I can offer you the fact that I'm going to be passionate and care and really go for it all the time. And I think that that was the selling point that a lot of coaches over time started to see. You're stuck at the revs, but the learning curve into the pro game was brain bending. You arrived from a relatively small college program, less than a decade out from first picking up the sport. Can you describe those first months adjusting to the demands the regime of professional trading in a professional league? It was very, very challenging. And I will say this, there was times where I wish that they would just say, you know what? You're not good enough because it was mentally physically grueling. I mean, Raj, I'm talking, if you pass me the ball from ten yards away and asked me to pass the ball back to you first time. I couldn't do it. No one ever ever taught me how to do it. At college, I got away with it because I was athletic enough to make saves and catched crosses. And I could hit the ball 60 yards. So if I could just hit it into this one area, 60 yards away, like my coach was he was the scouts or he didn't really care. Just kicking me, just kicking. He's a great guy. He's still the head coach at Fairfield, by the way. Carl Reese. God bless the stags. You gave a quote once, I would go home every day and drink pickle juice because I lived in a house with no air conditioning to stop the cramps and then I would just sleep and I just thought, oh my God, that was your mental state. I would get nervous about going the next day because I don't think I realized how much your mind can take away your energy. There's obviously physical demands of everything, but this is where I started learning about how strong mind can be when you challenge your mind, how draining that can be. The goalkeeper go to the time Grammy Roy. I love him. I'm so grateful for everything he did to me. I say, did to me, and did for me, you know? But how hard he'd kick your ass is a sense of what you're saying? Exactly, you know? And he would pull me off to the side during training. He would just run me through the paces, run me through the paces. You got to pass it like this. You got to clean it up. You got to clean it up. If it wasn't good enough, it's not good enough. It's not good enough. He didn't even care. He would just keep repeating himself. It's like stuff you see in the movies. I need to find some old training clips. If you could hear the way this guy talked to me, you'd be like, what? Remy was just like wax on wax off. It was like wax on wax off, but not so kind, you know? You know, it was more like whiplash. You know the movie whiplash? Where the drummer and it was more like that. Just the torture, the torture, the mental torture of it all. Yeah. The drummer knows he's this excellent drummer, and now he's trying to do just one simple thing or he thinks he nails it and the teachers, it's not good enough. Whiplash meets The Karate Kid. Oh, meets goal the movie. Before we go any further, just a quick reminder that there's only one place you can watch Matt Turner's arsenal compete in both domestic English competitions this season and that's ESPN+ home of the FA Cup and the carabao cup a map is not the only American goalkeeper on offer via ESPN+ watch downington Pennsylvania Zack Stefan at Middlesbrough and Highlands Ranch Colorado is Ethan horvath play at Luton town throughout the championship season every bloody week as they all battle it out in that race for the gloves at the upcoming World Cup and a reminder La Liga kicks off this weekend as well.

"Exponentially more than the goalkeeper on the team stronger in possession would have faced really a crash course you had Matt in shot stopping. There's your 10,000 hours right there. And you said it's that early experience, which is just made you comfortable facing shot after shot after shot, that shape you. Not only did I face a lot of shots in game environments in high school, but also I didn't have any formal goalkeeping training until I joined that club team when I was 16, 17. So all I would really do I practiced was just we were like a team that practiced a certain way. I would just kind of stand in goal and everyone would shoot on me all practice. I would come home filthy. My mom would be like, what were you doing? You know, I'm like, I'm just doing what they tell me to do, you know? And my best friend's dad used to drive me to and from practice. And he would make me ride home with my hands outside the car window 'cause my goalie gloves and smelled so bad. Oh, my turn, that all stinky hands. Out of such scenes, greatness is forged. I'm gonna say Matt here in your story. To me, you like American menu bolt, a gent who was not aware that he had an innate natural skill as a kid, but once you found it, was it like realizing you had an a superpower a hidden superpower Spidey sense, which was just saving shots. Weirdly, yeah, it was just something that my older sisters had club teams, even when I would go down to the field, my dad would be like, well, I don't want to watch you running around doing whatever. So just hop in goal. Even when I was doing that, I always was just pretty good at it. I just love the challenge of it. People would always laugh and be like, oh my God, I can't believe you stopped that and it gave me this buzz and this energy that nothing else really in sports ever did. And it was watching the 2010 World Cup as a 15 year old kid. The U.S. gloriously topping their group reaching the round of 16 powered by that delirious Landon Donovan goal that was heard from sea to shining sea. Perfect on here for the USA.

I don't think Paul is play so you can make it will be again. Is the right place wrong time. Wise this whole coming out now because surely they could have played a lot better and like not talked about the operation and fitness issues and maybe could've tried to get rid of him in January. It's keep everybody happy. Well this fitness thing I mean I think social made a mistake. I icon on Wednesday after the game saying that pump is people peration that sounded lights Celsius was suggesting that pope. We didn't operation but he's people thought you did.

It was never gonNA go in January because nobody has the money to Paul Popa deal in January it would cost. What seventy eight million pounds? And it's not a deal that anybody really is GONNA do. Real Madrid haven't got the money to do that. Deal in January. So he's kind of United States Unites Nice to start with him and then hope when he comes back in February it can at least contribute something towards the end of the season and may get into the top four. Maybe get them to win the league. It's GONNA drug drug on. It's going to get the silver and he's going to go and it's going to be talking. Franklin birth is mentioned with us as well. Frank what do you make your fellow countryman the way this is all going down. Well that's not a good situation for Paul because of his injury because of his agents Speaking out and not saying good things about a big big club with the big history. I think it doesn't show a big major of of the player of a of fees entourage as well. I don't know what's GonNa Happen with Paul Truces in fact if you is exaggerating the injury if he really needs if we needed to surgery. I don't know what's going on really there and it's not good for the future follow. What's going to happen to him next year? But when you sign for a club and as always said that you have to make sure that you do everything to respect the club we signed you and then now days to be that when the players don't just WanNa leave just brick everything done to make sure that the club does don't don't want them anymore more so it's for me what's going to happen very soon. Tupua mentioned Cecilia. Kelly can go the don't want him. We don't want him and you can go anywhere. Who else sees situation isn't it has come to an end already? Well it's been a situation almost from the beginning didn't quite mesh on the field field for Paul and then obviously the injury issues of the injury shows. Now I have no problem going to seek out to get yourself back on the pitch as quickly as possible but I think it's then and when you're seeing at a Miami Heat basketball game or doing different things we're okay look. We know when you're injured. You're not getting your head away from things a little a bit helps but there's also a perception issue and the balance isn't right. The balance hasn't been right with with him on the field. The balance hasn't been right with him off the field and maybe it is the best for both parties just to kind of wipe their hands with it but I think is guys mentioned. It is an expensive deal. Menu are GonNa want significant capital back from the investment. They made and that deal probably won't be made until budgets organized with.

'Total devastation': Hurricane slams parts of the Bahamas
"Will thank heavens hurricane Dorian is finally moving off the Bahamas it just sat there moving like a mile an hour over the whole Bahamas and they got hit really bad there was a life threatening storm surge of up to fifteen feet expected on grand Bahama island and Floridians were freaking out I have family in you know fort Lauderdale and clear water in you know not knowing if the hurricane was going to start moving towards Florida move out to sea I will I am blown away at how they could predict hurricane movement and they predicted that after the bombers it was going to make a right turn I mean it made a beeline it was going to do west I mean street west and then. it's stalled and rather than moving towards Florida is designed to make a right turn and now it is moving up the coast. but still gave huge punches to the Bahamas there's a door is when the tent city has backed off now it's down to a category two I thought I saw just recently was a three still but I think they just downgraded to a two. but now we're worried about the Florida Atlantic coast parts Georgia the Carolinas and even southeast Virginia. and so right now it's still near grand Bahama island the eye wall is pummel the island since Sunday night destructive winds catastrophic storm surge some of the pictures are coming in the Bahamas it is devastated just devastated. it basically had the bombs for over forty eight hours started the apple goes island Sunday morning. settlement point had sustained winds of sixty one miles an hour gusting up to eighty two miles per hour. and right now I believe the speed is down to about a hundred twenty miles per hour of the actual hurricane. and now Florida coast is scenes of destructive damage because of I mean it's about eighty miles from the coast and so you know the waves are huge. beach erosion has already Curtis flats at Flagler beach. National Weather Service weather channel meteorologist Jim Cantore document a damaged homes on Hutchinson island why because of pounding surf squall from out of perfume Dorian continue to wrap into parts of the Florida peninsula. because one visit force winds there now miles an hour arrived at Juno beach Florida. that's going to continue with gusts over sixty miles per hour to Tuesday outer rain bands are also still you know flooding the area and we could possibly have tornadoes along the coast so we have hurricane warnings right now in effect in Florida from Jupiter inlet to punch Verde beach including Mel born in Daytona beach Florida the warning is now but extended to South Carolina from north of at least beach to south Santee river in a hurricane warning still remains in effect for grand Bahama the abacus islands northwestern Bahamas include Freeport and grand Bahama. so hurricane warnings meaning that hurricane force winds remember category one is seventy four miles an hour so hurricane warnings mean that those winds are either already Corinne or expected somewhere within the warning area and that's going to be within a thirty six hour time frame. so a storm surge warning has been issued from land Tampa Florida to south Santee river South Carolina and that includes Daytona beach Jacksonville beach St Simons Tybee island Charleston South Carolina. so you know you would you would watch the weather I was I was glued to the weather channel all weekend and you would see people. walking behind a meteorologist sorry. I don't want to laugh at all because you know what people were doing they were trying to recreate those videos that are online have you guys seen those videos where you have. meteorologist reporters that are trying to look like they're holding on. and you know to find the winds and trying to you know hold their balance and they're screaming in the wind and then you see people walk behind them with an ice cream cone and wave like high. I right or you know I think there was one reporter that tried to claim this weekend that bodes in Florida were already push the shore by the storm. add their all these things being pushed on to the beach and you actually saw the votes are all tied up neatly and it was nice people walking by and you know even in you know smile and things like that and so clearly there's a lot of like you know whether reporting gone wrong people in a boat there's one I forget was one of those Kitty current but somebody was in a boat looking like she had to paddle around and then somebody walked right by her. in a single deep water. it all and then so it you know we know that you know the weather channel these meteorologist they have a job to do and storms are life threatening and they need to get people out and so they're not gonna show a person in a nice dry area tell everybody it's scary they're going to kind of show you know what they need pictorials because some people they just don't evacuate they just leave. Floridians a lot of them did not evacuate them they you know they were waiting for the hurricane advisory to blows my mind that the same age we could be that accurate I mean we were actually it was I was like I don't see how it's going to head towards Florida's commit towards Florida. so you don't think that it didn't hit Florida unfortunately you have that whole coast. that could get hit you know there's an argument that averages one across Florida in a day. we would cause less damage then riding up the coast to Jacksonville Charleston Wilmington Hatteras so the you know so you know we think it's going to be hitting and not really leaving are closed until Sunday heading areas near main and etcetera and at it's a battle on this was bad five people dead so far we're gonna be unfortunately hearing more as the crews are able to get into the Bahamas fully understand the devastation was just enormous this week as NASA but the nation week a lot of people in the Bahamas and Florida you know can't donate blood the Carolinas etcetera because a worried about the the storm and and blood shortages are expected that to happen especially after the bad summer NASA but the nation because the first week of September and as for governors from across United States United to you know help
