Yeah, no, it's the preparation.

I think to get to this point has been great from the group.

It doesn't even feel real that it's only a month out now.

It felt like it was a year and two years, not too long ago.

But yeah, I think we're ready.

Everything's in motion.

No, I think it's going to fly between, you know, the games for club are almost over for MLS and for the European guys.

So we'll get together here and not to, I think in two weeks or something like that it is.

So no, I think it'll fly by with just our everyday lives within the game.

I think more than anything, we're all just ready for the game to honestly be here on June 12th.

Yeah, I think it just goes back to what we've done for a long time through Copa America, through Nations League, through Gold Cups.

Obviously, the World Cup is more grand of a stage, but yeah, just focusing on ourselves.

We have this kind of message within the group that we're calm, we're composed, and we're ready.

So that's been ringing off for the last six months now within our group.

So yeah, it's going to be a lot going on, but I think as the game gets closer, we're going to be able to shut out all the distractions and noise and just get ready to play.

Yeah, I've allowed myself maybe for 10 seconds at most to dream about what that's going to be like and then quickly, you know,

shut it back down and get back into the day-to-day um of what i need to do but yeah it's impossible to ignore you know it's going to be a special feeling special opportunity for all of us you know majority of the team is from in and around the gta so a lot of families and friends

will be in attendance.

So, yeah, it's impossible to ignore.

But, yeah, I think, again, for all of us, we're trying to keep it day-to-day so we don't make it too grand.
