Landon Donovan

He won't get the rest. So he entered the portal. Anyway, it was chaos. But it proved to me that... It's funny, you know, these things always happen where they're having to put safeguards in place after the fact, right? So now these kids are getting these big contracts and then they're like opting out as free agents, but there is no free agency, right?

So now the universities have to kind of, or the NCAA has to kind of go back and go, no, no, no. You have to, you've got to play out a certain amount of years before you can opt out of a contract, right? Like if they're going to treat these kids like pros, they got to treat them like pros. So anyway, fun weekend.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yeah.

Yep.

Yep.

Yep.

Yeah, look, we hope. We hope that there's a lot of attention being paid by the U.S. Men's National Team staff to MLSers who aren't necessarily at the front of mind. So what am I trying to say there? I'm trying to say U.S. soccer in general, American soccer, is lazy when it comes to... identifying talent, right?

We just take the people who are on the top of the list and then we forget about everybody else. So Brian, you know, Brian White, hats off to him. He is, he and Vancouver, by the way, I hold my hand up. I'll always tell you when I get it wrong. I got it wrong. I mean, you did too. I won't throw it on the bus quite yet, but. We got it wrong. We got it wrong.

I thought Vancouver, given all the, you know, how they finished last season and the turnover, I thought, I'm not really sure about this team. Hats off to them for having a good offseason and a fine start to the regular season. Again, they do it quietly. They're up there. That's right. Up in Canada, people seem to forget about them.
