There's a camp in June.

So just because you make the camp in March doesn't mean you're going to make the camp in May.

Depends on how you play.

Depends on if you fit well with the guys.

Depends if you're maybe going through a funk, but your leadership is there.

Every player is different, right?

So it kind of depends.

So it looks bad if you come off and you're sulking.

It looks bad if your attitude isn't great for the next guy coming on.

So especially with these tournaments where it's knockout stage or three games and you could be out.

So the quicker you can put your ego aside and just play and represent the country and no egos, better the team is gonna be.

Yeah, so I got the call the last camp before the World Cup.

We had like a fitness camp because the MLS schedule was different from the European schedule.

So we were brought together in training and then I got the call after that camp in 2022.

No, not really.

So my thing was just train, compete, and then kind of get a spot.

And then after the camp, you would say, yo, listen, I'm going to give you guys a call in three, four days.

And then I'll say, you made it or you didn't make it, which is the most nerve wracking thing, by the way.

So, yeah, I remember just looking back and going home, and he calls me.

He's like, yeah, you're in.
