| 0:00.0 | Hey there. Welcome to Food Ball with Grant Wall. Thanks so much for joining me. Today's |
| 0:11.7 | interview guests are Esmeralda Negrone and Susie Petrochelli of Atta Football. We've |
| 0:18.5 | had some great guests lately including Christine Kupo, Andy Harper and Janine Becky. So check |
| 0:24.6 | out those out. But first, let's talk some soccer with my friend Chris Wittingham who you can |
| 0:30.5 | hear on Univision Inter Miami Radio, the Dan Levitard show and the Chelsea miced up podcast. |
| 0:37.0 | Chris, thanks for joining me. How are you? Doing all right, sir? How are you? Late night |
| 0:41.4 | recording following a US game? It is 11.07 pm Eastern on Sunday night. The US is just |
| 0:47.8 | beaten Haiti 1-0 early goal from Sam Vines. Kind of a grim performance though. Yeah. It was |
| 0:57.1 | not the best of performances from the US. It was actually kind of in not a usual way, which |
| 1:04.3 | is normally they're very kind of incipit in the attack and they don't put numbers forward |
| 1:09.2 | and they're being careful and not really fully committing themselves into a first group |
| 1:12.6 | game. But it was actually kind of the opposite, which was I thought the United States was |
| 1:16.0 | incredibly stretched in this game. And in some ways, the US is kind of playing under a tactical |
| 1:21.6 | model that I think is probably a little bit outdated now where both fullbacks get forward and both |
| 1:27.3 | sentiment fielders get forward out of a 4-3-3. And there are times with these massive spaces |
| 1:32.5 | in the middle and on either side of the two centerbacks. And that's a lot for Jackson, |
| 1:37.5 | Ewell, Miles Robinson and Walker Zimmerman to cover. So for me, it was just kind of positionally |
| 1:42.2 | the game was wild and look, Haiti took advantage and tried to strike on the counter of a couple |
| 1:46.4 | of occasions. But it wasn't kind of a usually weird US performance. It was kind of in a different |
| 1:52.0 | way and a more burhaltary way. And I guess it makes for more entertaining game. But in the end, |
| 1:57.6 | not really the most convincing US performance. Yeah. I'm with you on that. I mean, Haiti's not a |
| 2:03.3 | bad team. This team made the semi-files of the goal cup last time. They've got some decent players. |
