0:00.0 | Oh, from New York, New York, you are listening to an extra special Monday edition of extra time 1v1 from the AT&T 5G virtual studios. |
0:11.0 | I am Andrew Weebie, no partners in soccer on this Monday. International break has us scattered away doing our own thing. |
0:18.0 | But luckily, Charlie Davies and I sat down with Dwayne D. Rosario in Minnesota in St. Paul at Allianne Stadium in the middle of a rehearsal, which you will figure out in the beginning of this wonderful interview with D.R.O. |
0:34.0 | Producing Anders managed to edit it out on the back end. So hopefully the sound will be to your liking. But it is a wonderful interview with D.R.O. |
0:42.0 | who covered so much all the way from his early days in MLS, all of the trials and tribulations he had as a potential transfer target for Europe as well as a Canadian national team player in a completely different era. |
0:54.0 | You won't believe some of these stories after the interview D.R.O. said to both Charlie and I, I can't believe you got me to talk about some of that stuff. |
1:01.0 | Sometimes, I think that's somebody yanking my chain, being like, oh yeah, yeah, I said a whole lot. |
1:06.0 | Other times, like in this case, I feel like D.R.O. really opened up with us. It was a wonderful interview. I hope you enjoy it. |
1:12.0 | Of course, we have a lot to say about the international break and we will say it on Wednesday with a special edition of Club and Country Guitar 2022. |
1:21.0 | Yes, the U.S. performance against Japan was dispiriting at best and a depressing sign of what's to come and guitar at worst. |
1:28.0 | But we'll try to sift through that after Saudi Arabia. There's a chance at redemption. There's a live watch long for that one. |
1:34.0 | Susanna Collins, Matt Doyle, Charlie Davies will be with you during that one live on YouTube Live as well as Twitch. |
1:41.0 | And then on Wednesday, we'll release right here on this channel as well as YouTube Club and Country analyzing what happened in this international break. |
1:47.0 | And what it means looking ahead into November when the real games start, when the legacy of both the U.S. and Canada will be set. |
1:54.0 | Of course, Canada will win against Qatar and they will get another shot at a big time opponent, a World Cup opponent, and Uruguay on Tuesday as well. |
2:02.0 | So look forward to that show. On Wednesday, we will back on Thursday with an MLS only edition of the pod looking ahead to the rest of the year as the MLS Cup playoffs loom with no further ado. Dwayne D.Rassario, enjoy. |
2:15.0 | Alright, it's a pleasure to sit down with Dwayne D.Rassario, an MLS legend, a Canada legend, a recipient of the Order of Ontario. |
2:24.0 | Charlie and I were talking, do we need to kneel? Is this like being knighted? |
2:28.0 | No, just one knee. Just one knee. Is that like the key to the city? Is that basically what it is? |
2:34.0 | Yes, it's a privilege. Yes, and it's a huge honor for myself, for my family, and getting the Order of Ontario was amazing. |
2:43.0 | And then I just got into the Canada Sports Hall of Fame, not too long ago. So it's been amazing here. |
2:50.0 | So are you a prince? |
