That's the most players that you've ever been able to have.
Normally it's 23 players.
So there's three extra spots where you can add guys.
You know, it is an extended field, and so I think you're going to have to use your depth more than in years past with World Cups because in order to win the World Cup or advance, you know, they've added that round of 32 knockout game.
So you're adding another game, which means at some point you're probably going to have to rotate.
Okay.
It is.
No, it's a great way to phrase it.
You know, I would say goalkeeper isn't probably as important as like a QB1, you know, in college or pros.
But it's pretty dang important.
Yeah.
you know, again, traditionally we've always had, um, we've always had a guy that we knew was going to be the number one that has a ton of experience.
We don't have that.
Uh, that makes me a little bit nervous.
I also think personality wise, I mean, we've always had that big personality, that, that alpha, a guy just with that aura where you can look back and say, Hey, like we, we've got that guy behind us and that, that gives the team confidence.
So I think it is going to have an effect.
I don't know who's going to start either.
That hasn't been leaked.
I mean, honestly, it's 50-50.
