It's a good question because I don't think they ask good questions.
I only lived there for 20 years.
It's that in you and I kind of touched on it on PTI a little bit is that I would say listening 10 defenders was a huge thing for me.
And I know this is for your listeners.
They're probably like, what the hell is Taylor talking about?
But you're going into a world cup in your own backyard.
And you're listing 10 defenders.
They're not all going to play defender.
They're going to play sometimes outside back, wing, whatever it is.
I would have listed it differently.
And Tony, I would have sent a message to everybody that we're going to be aggressive.
We're going to be very, very forward thinking.
Instead, it listed 10 defenders, seven center backs.
And you're sitting there going, wait a minute, what?
Now, if you're looking for a player that surprised me that wasn't on there, probably Diego Luna.
And the only reason why I say that is for the last 18 months, he's been part of every marketing arm of the United States national team, whether it's the kit reveal with the United States and the flag, whether it was Fox using him and using an ad of saying, when the United States score and win the World Cup final, guess who scored the goal in that ad?
