All right, everybody. Welcome back, Sam's Army episode 2.233. We got a lot to talk about. This week, we're going to start with headlines, FIFA, MLS managerial moves and Saudi surprises, weekly, what if we're going to talk a little MLS 2 playoff optimization, primarily North London title race will feature prominently and heavily in this week's

discussion, then we'll go around the world with the US men's national team preview of Saturday's Germany friendly, and then stop it's time with Ivan Tony's best bets and everyone's favorite segment. Go it's now time to welcome in this week's distinguished panel of beauties here with me to whom have massive shitty greens on their face if you're on YouTube watching this. Pretty happy, I will say for being in second place in the table at the moment, but you know what, we'll get into that. We'll get into that. We'll hold off for the moment.

We'll start off welcoming in with the non tweedle that joins me and evening things out a little bit, Dalton Kemper, and we'll pivot away from soccer for just a moment as we watch the Green Bay. I was going to say, shit the bed, but you know, it's not so bad and how the world will basically even 1010, but the question for you as a Bears fan is how are you guys back? Is this team, is this Chicago Bears team back after the, you know, the big win against the mighty commanders last week?

I don't think the Bears are back, but I think Justin Fields is back. I'm pretty, pretty happy. I think the team around him still sucks a lot, but I feel really good about having Justin Fields as my quarterback. Big difference from two weeks ago, whenever I was ready to ship Justin Fields anywhere about Chicago, but we are back. The Bears are back. It's going to be a really fun maybe six win season, which I'll take. So it's fine.

The Bears are kind of back and Fields is all the way back. He's definitely back. He's definitely back. Yeah. One game and he's all the way back. All right, George loves back, by the way, Jordan love, not never was here. There you go. There you go. Get your shots in. Get him in. I'm not sure where I stand on the Jordan on the Jordan love situation. I'm very much on the fence. So I'll just leave it. I'll just leave it at that for the moment. I'm not even going to defend him at the moment. So number two is actually tweedle number one. Tommy McGunner.

Now, we're going to go off the reservation. No one word answers. I know you love those, but we're going to we're going to stray from the beaten path for a moment. If you did not go to Notre Dame, what was your plan B school?

Stanford. Wow. What a brain. What a brainiac. What a nerd. I guess that doesn't make that doesn't surprise me at all.

How close was it? Was it close close close run race between Notre Dame and Stanford? Yeah, it was actually.

So those were definitely my two final choices. I visited both. I really enjoyed both campuses.

The other something special about Notre Dame. It's just in the air when you go there. So did you go on like a football Saturday?

I didn't. I didn't. I went in the dead of spring or winter. Oh, and you still liked it. Okay. Well, that. Yeah.

If I went on a college football weekend, I think it would have been like sign seals delivered that Sunday. So that's fair. I've been there for a Saturday game day. It is. It's a lot of fun.

And I, you know, I know Madison game days and they're a lot of fun as well, but Notre Dame's up there. So I'll give you that.

All right. Finally, we got tweedle number two Mitchell Goulet aka overtime Mitch. And the question for you, we're going to really get a dig into who you are as a person. So I hope you're ready to get a little introspective with us here. Okay.

Mr. Goulet. So what is your beef with Instagram? You know, you post all the time for work on overtime, but you haven't given us like a filtered look into the life of Mitchell Goulet since like June 21st. So what's up?

I have a call it an attitude towards social media that I don't feel like I owe any followers a glimpse into who I actually am, unless maybe they ask.

The parts of my life that I choose to share with the world on the internet are admittedly curated and probably a little too sporty and they don't accurately like describe me as a person.

I also don't photograph well and don't take too many pictures of myself that are worth posting on the internet. I do, I do a lot of shit like on a basketball quarter on a soccer field that is worth posting, but nobody actually wants to see that.

Hi, I'm actually not under the impression that people want to see pictures of me anyway. So I think whenever I burden the internet with a picture video of myself, then I've like put in my time and I can take my two, three months off.

I'll stick to posting on overtime at sea.

That's an interesting question. You you had both sort of the deep answer and you also had some very surface level vein.

You know, yeah, I don't I don't I don't picture well. Right.
