Is that?
Yeah, so that's, is that?
So that's not realistic.
And that's not, and it shouldn't be the goal of the American player to, once they get to a certain level in MLS, say, you know what, it's actually better here because, you know, we don't want to make this situation too unique for our national team coach.
No, it should be, and our colleague now, but former US Men's National Team coach, Juergen Klinsmann, was, I think, at the forefront of coaches saying, go.

That is what I think JΓΌrgen Klinsmann wanted out of the players just going out there and expressing themselves out somewhere in the world.
I don't know why you would talk against that or why you would make it sound as if it's a unique situation for you.
It is like that for you, as it is for Uruguay, as it is for Colombia, as it is for Venezuela, as it is for any country around the world other than the few that have the top leagues in the world
that are able to keep their players in-house.
Well, when Florian Wurz walks out the door and you're the next guy to come through the door, there is a level of expectation from a fan base that,
was looking at floor inverse and going, all right, well, I guess this is the guy that is gonna take that position, which I think it,
To be honest and fully transparent, I thought it was a wrong assessment to begin with.
