So go over there on the bench and watch today. Maybe, maybe. I don't know that. I don't know that to be true. You know, again, you, you, you prefaced it.

And there's a few others. I want them all there. So I don't actually want them to get punished. I would just, you know, because the best chance that we have of getting a result, a positive result in the world cup is to have our best players. And so, look, do I think genuinely not?

And then even if that person with less stock starts,
