00:00let's talk a little soccer we're gonna get to the MLS All-Star game in a moment I just want
00:04to
00:04mention what I think is a nice little angle tonight in a friendly between Liverpool and
00:09Wrexham I'm sure a lot of people know Wrexham the you know Ryan Reynolds and all that stuff
00:14they are like a championship team like they are making their way they could feasibly be a Premier
00:19League team next year which would be remarkable they're playing Liverpool in a friendly the
00:24total is set of three and a half it's juiced towards the over the game is being played at
00:29Yankee Stadium and this is a real thing and I know people in the MLS have adjusted to it a
00:37little
00:37bit more they have a lot of respect for the MLS and the All-Star game don't they yeah right
00:43hosting let's schedule the game at the exact same time as the All-Star game 30 minute difference
00:5130 minute difference so Yankee Stadium yeah I saw Ryan Phillips I don't know dude I see Ryan
00:58Phillips on he's from Vancouver too right so I see him on TV like 24 7 like so I kind
01:04of tune out what
01:04he's talking about but um but I saw him oh it's a real honor to be playing there and oh
01:11I can't
01:11it's a dream come true and blah blah blah so oh yeah Yankee Stadium tonight what's your prediction
01:17I just want to mention Liverpool minus 300 you know this the the soccer games played in Yankee
01:24Stadium are not really played at a normal pitch size because they can't fit it in Yankee Stadium
01:31so for me I think there's dirt please tell me there's dirt I don't know if there'll be a
01:39dirt game but if you're Liverpool and Wrexham and you're used to playing on a big open pitch
01:45yeah yeah yeah and now you're in these tight confined spaces here it's a friendly I think
01:51this is an under polls at three and a half Wrexham played a game against United that finished
01:57one nothing in a friendly already I think this is an under small pitch not a lot of space not
02:03a lot
02:03of goals three and a half huh I'm looking I'm looking so I want to see the raw I want
02:10to see
02:11if we what's the lineup tonight all right here we go lineup confirmed 39 minutes ago see we're on top
02:17of it here on the grid here we go look at this shout out to what a world we're in
02:22shout out to
02:22Affleck Sports known for football love this Liverpool Wrexham lineups Kevin Affleck Sports

02:33first you know what they do what Liverpool do yeah they played Sunderland they were trailing 2-1

02:49Wrexham unbeaten the preseason after playing Manchester United and Leeds United
02:54they defeated Leeds 3-2 mm-hmm like Wrexham want these games Wrexham do not say they're gonna be
03:02that's and Liverpool don't really care let's be real no I'm not saying they don't fully care
03:08because it's Wrexham you know I get it but it's in America it's not like they're losing in like the
03:12UEFA league or something like you know what I mean to them you know what I mean yes it's not
03:16the same
03:17like this is a preseason game for Liverpool like these games are like the first chances yeah we
03:23sign this guy or let's play this guy like Wrexham will be all in on this because they that is
03:29a
03:29feather on their cap hey we tied Manchester United we beat Leeds you know yeah I don't really understand
03:35why they're playing at Yankee Stadium when Liverpool are owned by like the Red Sox guys
03:40I can't really figure that out from the life of me should be yeah yeah good uh well you know
03:46what
03:46but even more money though right Steinbrenner doesn't care he's right here to stay here
03:51money no yeah no it's funny like I'm not blaming the Yankees I think it's a great move but like
03:56it's funny you say that I used to be when I was on the score television network in the old
03:59days
04:00we used to run ads for Sportsnet and the Blue Jays and stuff and I actually asked the owner of
04:05the
04:05network I said why do you run commercials for a competitor of the network he goes well they're
04:10going to be bigger than us anyways I might as well make some money off it
