KickAround #451 - "Work in progress..."

Now, the other stuff we also will get into today...

You know, this is the last weekend before league club soccer goes on a two week

break.

Why are they taking a vacation just like that in the middle of the season? Isn't that odd?

So we will get into the U.S. men's national team call ups.

Oh, it's a FIFA break.

It's a FIFA break.

The longest one ever.

Yes.

They have combined the September and October breaks into one giant window.

And teams will be playing four or five games in some cases.

And so Pochettino has called up an interesting list of young players.

In fact, I'm going to suggest we play a game.

Okay.

We'll do that before the end of the show.

But right off the top, you heard it in the open.

Yes, Brighton bested Arsenal today.

Well, let me do it this way.

If I told you Arsenal and Brighton had played today, and Villa and Spurs were going to play today, and both teams would lose 1-3-2, 1-3-0.

Yeah, you'd never guess that it was Arsenal the one losing 3-0.

Brighton continues to look really, really good.

They are.

They're solid.

They're in third, by the way, only behind Arsenal and City.

This is third place in the Premier League, by the way, in Brighton.
