No, I'm a good cop. Okay, all right. I'll start. The entire premise of this show when it comes to the Gold Cup roster is... There are so many important, vital players missing. And we're going to talk about for every time someone misses an opportunity, there's an opportunity gained by someone else.
Robinson, yeah. You don't want someone what? Go ahead. I don't want someone else representing us at the World Cup. I want the best American players representing us at the World Cup, right? And because of that, I don't really care about these opportunities for some of these other guys.

What I want is our best players to be performing together when the stuff is really hitting the fan and having to figure out and problem solve. Because here's the thing. Hear it from me. We have just missed. We haven't even kicked off the Gold Cup. We have just missed our last opportunity before the World Cup to compete as a group. Don't tell me about the September friendlies.

There are no competitive games. As soon as the Gold Cup finishes, there are no competitive games before the World Cup. It's over. And by the way, I'm highly, highly doubtful that we'll have our best squads together. or even more than five friendly games this year.

So that's my, you talk about, we can talk about Christian Pulisic or Anthony Robinson or Musa. They're all in the same boat for me, but you in particular, those three.

I think our listeners right now are slightly gobsmacked that you said that the Gold Cup isn't a priority. One, I agree with you, by the way. I agree with you. But when you look at this tip... all consuming, you then begin to realize it's impossible for the Gold Cup to be a priority.
