I think you're right about that.

And we see that all the time, right?

Like when you're in a fantasy draft in Kansas City, the chief players always get overdrafted, right?

Yeah, yeah.

I mean, it's just, it's an emotional thing.

So I think the U.S.

should be favorites in this game.

I'm not a good odds maker, so I couldn't tell you exactly the odds.

I think they should be favorites to win.

I think that, yeah.

But Paraguay, they beat Argentina, you know, like in this cycle.

So they can beat anybody.

You know, they can beat anybody in the world.

I will also point out that one of their best players, one of their best attackers got injured during a friendly last week leading up to this and won't be playing in this game.

I think that hurts their chances.

On the flip side, the U.S.

got good health news that Chris Richards, who sat out the friendlies because of an ankle injury, is apparently fit and ready to go, and he's the USA's best defender.

So U.S.

got some good news on the injury front, and Paraguay got some really bad news on the injury front.

But they still have really good players.
