That's a great question. So in 2002 World Cup play Germany quarterfinals, there's a handball on the line by Torsten Frings. It's not called by Hugh Dallas, the referee. Who would have taken the penalty? Penalty. I'm trying to remember who was on the field because it was the fifth game. My gut was going to say Claudio. Claudio.

I think Claudio would have taken it because the only other person on the field who would have really taken it was... They wouldn't have given it to me, and I guess it would have been McBride. I think Claudio takes it all day long. Yeah, Claudio takes it and buries it. And we go to the semis, and we beat South Korea, and we go to the final and beat Brazil, and I have a World Cup trophy.

Hugh Dallas, you ruined it. You ruined history. What a great question.

Mm-hmm. Same thing. We would have lifted a trophy. Eddie Pope, man. It's all your fault, Eddie. Just kidding.

You just need more time. And I think what we're learning is probably one cycle is enough, generally speaking. Because if you get into the second and there's problems, now you have to make a really hard decision. And you just need more time. So I would say if they were thinking about doing it, then you just move on.

You don't – if it's absolutely this is the guy or woman and we're staying with them, then you stay with them. But if you're like, I don't know, should we – you should probably just move on.

Unequivocally. Yeah. And also – There's inevitably, especially with a national team, a new voice comes in, you're going to respond. So like having, even if you just got one result there because it's just the new manager, you're not going to learn how to play differently or whatever. It's worth it, right? Yeah.
