The Athletic FC.

Yeah, I don't know that the act itself from Trump did a lot to damage the credibility of U.S.

soccer.

However, there is a sentiment of...

there was a little bit of cheating involved and we still couldn't get through like, man, we are really mediocre and mediocre is putting it nicely.

And so it's, uh, all of that has just stirred up this energy, right?

Like, um, people would have been pumping their chest out and saying, we're happy to be the villains.

If the U S had advanced to the round of eight to the quarterfinals, uh,

But losing and having to deal with the embarrassment of having it exposed that there was some interference in the process has just created this canvas in which all the negativity that we could possibly have, whether it's about.

The system in which players are raised up or whether it's about our politics, like it's all fair game right now.

And I think that is what has damaged the credibility of a good run.

Like there was great vibes, good feelings up until now.

But then to lose and not only to lose, but to get smashed.

I mean, to play terribly, to have the goalkeeper make a play that some little leaguers don't make, that has all kind of sullied this run.

I mean, I think people will step back and say that felt good for a while, but we were leaning towards this is a seminal moment for American soccer, and it didn't turn out to be a seminal moment.

I think in general, U.S.

soccer as an organization can distance itself from that.

I think they've got bigger problems at hand in that we invested all this money on a world-class coach.

We really felt like this was the

Most talented, most athletic team we've ever had.
