Giselle, you know, has an opportunity.

So we're not sure if Sonnen's going to be on the left-sided, left center back, or it's going to be Tierna coming back and being the left-footed, left center back.

But I think that pairing, that duo pairing, and then Fox being able to combine with Trinity Rodman on the right hand side was brilliant at times.

And I hope to see more of that as we move into the bigger tournament pictures because that right side was pretty solidified for me.

And I think specifically those two players really, yeah, had an imprint on every single game.

Yeah, bringing that true experience, not only what they're doing now at the WSL level, but with the national team.

And Jeff mentioned Giselle Thompson.

I want to ask you about Alyssa Thompson and what you think she brings now to the national team and what she's bringing now consistently, it seems, to the team as well.

Oh, I have to talk about an attacker?

Let's get in there.

No, she's such a lethal weapon.

Look, the experience that she's gaining playing in the WSL, playing for Chelsea, that's giving her that challenge, allowing her to grow, allowing her to develop.

Get that confidence to be able to do this, to be able to win a game and a tournament for the U.S.

Women's National Team, to get MVP.

She is thriving this season so far, and she's able to prove that game in and game out.

And the one thing that you have to do at this level is make it very difficult for the coach to ignore you.

And she's doing just that.

And that is why we see her gain these opportunities.

And that is why she is showing how successful she can be.

And I think it's only going to get better.
