And we're not going to have this tournament.
So the question is, can one of these guys, whoever he ends up picking, step up and deliver?
Because goalkeeper is not a position you change often throughout tournaments like that.
If you pick a guy, that's your guy.
And I don't even know right now.
I couldn't even tell you who he's going to pick.
I would have picked Matt Freeze.
And now he's played Matt Turner.
And then this kid who made his debut yesterday, Chris Brady from the Chicago Fire.
So it's anybody's guess who's going to start on day one.
Yeah, so we were awarded the World Cup eight years ago back in Russia, and that was a World Cup that we did not qualify for for the first time in 30-plus years.
That was a huge moment in this country, a bit of a wake-up call of, wow, we think we're doing so great, and we've made so many strides, and then boom, we didn't qualify for the World Cup.
2022, we took the second youngest team at the tournament.
And a lot of the talk, which I didn't like at the time, was about this golden generation, which was dubbed, because we wanted to believe in something.
So we had this group of kids, and it was like, okay, this World Cup is the setup for 2026.
But it's all about this tournament.
This has been a...
a huge moment in soccer circles in this country for years because we feel like this is a moment that soccer can take the next step in this country.
I just wanna take you quickly back to 94.
We didn't have a men's professional league, we didn't have a women's professional league.
