Landon Donovan

I didn't create it.

It's not my role.

It's one that, like I said, I've said it the other day, I think both the NWSL and the PA will work towards creating whatever that will look like.

I don't think it's finalized yet.

But the first thing I would say to the players is, look, that's not my call.

That's that's been designed by somebody else.

And you have to take that up with someone else.

Like my job is to pick the very best team for the U.S.

Women's National Team.

regardless of status, of your contracts or wherever you are.

And I think I will outline that from the get-go because I think you're correct.

It's not the right position to put me or any coach in this position into.

And I will just make sure that I do what I always do and pick the very best available team.

Right, okay.

No, usually I hear from them pretty late on, to be honest with you.

You know, it's like they've already gone through some.

It's like right at the end stage.

And I always throw it back to them.

I always say, have you thought about this?

Have you thought about that?
