That's what, I mean, that's what it sounds like to me.

And my read on it, if you kind of,

been closely paying attention to the saga of Christian Pulisic over the last... I mean, really for his whole career, but especially the last couple years, I think he's tired of it.

I think he's tired of people telling him he needs to do this and needs to do that.

People heaping expectations on him to be the Captain America.

And I think he's just tired of it.

So I think he sees it negatively.

You know what I mean?

I mean... Yeah, I mean, yes.

Yeah, I think that's a decent – I think those are some solid points that you make.

There's a couple other things to it.

Number one, this group of players was slapped with the label Golden Generation, which is almost like – it's almost like the Madden curse.

When a national team gets that, it's like, well, they're not living up to expectations.

Or like when you name when you nickname some young player, the baby Jordan or baby LeBron, it's like, well, that guy is not, you know, that it's like a curse, you know.

And so that's Belgium had this golden generation and they flopped two, three years in a row.

this this group i think it's pretty clear was overhyped when they were called the golden generation they were overhyped because for the first time ever we had a group of guys who were playing in all 11 players at one point were playing in top five european leagues and for the longest time american soccer fans were like if we just get if we can finally get our good players playing in the best leagues in europe we're going to take a huge step forward

And the results were no better, like if anything, maybe worse than the generation of players before them who were playing in Major League Soccer, a lot of them.

And so, and he's kind of the poster boy for it, right?

Like he was the best one of this golden generation.

Now look, that golden generation, they're in their prime now.
