Ben Olsen

If they can jump out and get that game's first goal, uh, early in the first half, I think it changes the game heavily in favor of the Earthquakes.

But, uh, Ben Olsen has this team revving right now between, uh, Guilherme and, and, and Maddie Bogusch as two guys that can really cause some damage.

And, and not only can Bogusch just run right up the spine of a team, but you have Guilherme dropping into pockets of space and delivering good service into players.

Um, I'm looking forward to it, and I don't expect it to be a nil-nil game.

But he, he was there.

Casey Keller, uh, Ben Olsen, another guy that was, like, hobbling around, you know? Um-

[laughs]

You know, Pa-

He, he didn't make, uh, like, the full team.

Danny Califf did, so that's two.

Ben Olsen would be three.

Peter Vagenas, Chris Albright, Ramiro Corrales, Landon Donovan, that's four.

And I know Scroggins likes him in the kind of center attacking mid position where he gets to push and press aggressively and disrupt.

likes that too.

And Ben,

yeah, Ben loves it.

Scroggins and Ben, basically the same person.

And Scruggs is going to hate me for that.

And he's not here.

But it was a lot of big-time players.

I mean, Ben Olsen was a Project 40 player.

Josh Wolfe was a Project 40 player.

Jimmy Conrad from here.

no. Bummer.

Is he is he a Ben Olsen signing? Let's think about that.

Let's think about.

All right, Manny, what are the keys to victory?

Only a handful of games in that spot, and they immediately moved him into the attack.

And now the shape has changed a little bit this season under Ben Olsen, and sometimes he's been in midfield, sometimes he's been a little bit further wide on that right side.

I think they have enough midfield bodies to deal without him.

They will, the Dynamo adds some pieces, I'd imagine, before the deadline later this week.

you know, range of outcomes.

And I think it gives Ben Olsen the excuse that he wants to start Bouzat, Ache Ache, and Artur together in the same midfield and just have a bunch of veteran grinders out there and let Boguch and Guilherme do all the attacking lift.

And that's that.

It's Benny Paul.

The average age of the midfield is going to be 33 years old.

They're just they have these two attackers and a winger who they will release in transition at any opportunity.

It feels like Ben Olsen's come home with this one.

Um, we'll see if Duncan McGuire can get his feet sort of under him at that team.

But, yes, overall where they're sitting, sure, I will give that.
