Yeah. I mean, when I got to, you know, how I think I've often said like the two Derbys that I played in were the Merseyside Derby and, um, USA, Mexico. And I'm like, dude, they, they, there are some great ones in the world. And I think I was very fortunate to play in two of them very often. And it's like, there's nothing like it.

And then when I got to be fair, when I got to Colorado, I remember, I remember the Rocky mountain cup being a, being a thing and going into it. I was like, I've played in big rivalries. Like I'm not sure about this. And then I got there and there was some real, real hate. It was some real nastiness. I remember, I remember how loving the real Salt Lake crowd was towards me. I joke when I say that.

But look, as always, I was someone who was happy to take the criticism because you know it was coming back. And I was happy to give it too. So yeah, some really cool rivalries, man, in MLS. And I just think that's also a testament, LD, to where this league has kind of gotten to.

I hate to say it, but I think it's true. I hear you. I mean, I think the fans care, which is something you mentioned.

When I think of MLS, and I think there's some good rivalries, but Cascadia Cup, like Portland Timbers, Seattle Sounders, get it. People are like, what does that mean? Seattle Sounders and Portland Timbers, get it. They're fans. There's a history, and there's a hate, and there's a rivalry. My uncle has been a longtime season ticket holder of the Seattle Sounders, and I just, I think...

Those two fan bases, it's, it's, it's, you can feel it. There's an intensity there that just, they're so close and they're, they, they both come from the dirt, from the mud, right? Like they were, they weren't always MLS teams. So, so that goes back so far, which is, which is, it's fun actually.

Thoughts are, yeah, you don't make these decisions in a phone booth, right? So we talked to Will. He was so gracious with us in the midst of this horrific run, and yet he's still having to make very calm, calculated decisions that look beyond this run. Yeah, I mean, I do. I think the world of Greg Vanney, I think he's a very good coach. I think he's a championship-winning coach, as we saw.
