Unfiltered Soccer with Landon Donovan and Tim Howard
Jason Kidd talks Everton FC, Liverpool Win the League, and Barcelona Win the Copa Del Rey

If he means that and he's sticking to it and he's going, you know what? I've seen enough now. I've got enough of a litmus test. And now I'm saying, I need people who are willing to go through the fire for me, who are willing to suffer more for the shirt. Now I'm saying, okay, I like that. I appreciate that line of thinking and hopefully we'll see it kind of as the next couple selections are made.

Well, adaptation is everything. We see managers who stick to one plan and one plan only and they get found out. You called it, though. You said San Diego are doing really well. And the real challenge is when teams get a second look at you and they get more tape on you and they can figure out, hey, it's a copycat league.

Everyone can kind of figure out where your weaknesses are and it's up to you to adapt. So that part you certainly called. I think the Diego Luna topic is an interesting one for me because I like him a lot, but it's twofold, right? This is the exact point that we were just talking about with Pochettino. There may be an argument, but one is can Diego Luna step up to the next level real time?

Yes, he's had some cameos and he's done fantastic and he's earned the opportunity to get there, to play in the big games, to be on the team sheet. So can he step up to that consistently? I think he might be able to, but I don't know the answer to that. The bigger, more important question is Diego Luna isn't nearly as big a name as the other ones, right?

The big call is, you know who is? Diego Luna. So there's a number 10 pocket or a number 8 pocket. You're going in there. And the person he drops, we're all going to go, oh.
