His schedule is busy. Mine is what it is. And, you know, I wanted to start with the World Cup because. You know, soccer fans have been kind of ignored. First of all, it's every four years. And with our sports menu, this is not France where the soccer's beginning and end all. We forget our NBA, NFL, NHL, MLS. We have this labyrinth of college sports, 360 Division I basketball programs. So, you know, it gets buried because it's infrequent and it's more of an event field.
Yeah.
But I was telling somebody the other day, kind of a soccer snob, I said, I've been covering the NFL. I played quarterback in high school, watched the NFL for 40 years. How many plays could I diagram in football? Not many. If you went to every coach and the top beat writer for every team and said, diagram one coverage and two offensive plays, most people couldn't do it. Not that it would work. And my take is... with soccer fans, sports, even in soccer, is pretty clear. If you got a Messi, an Mbappe, for us, a Pulisic, a Balogun, the best players win. They find space in open play. They're more creative. They can beat one-on-one coverage. And so I think there's a part of the non-soccer fan who is a little reluctant to jump in because soccer fan can kind of beat you over the head with nuance.
And it really comes down to when you watch us play against Australia, you know, you're like, we're pretty good. We're pretty fast. People are fouling us a lot. That's what they do to Germany and Spain. We've had 33 fouls against our players because we're fast and athletic and we beat them down the field. So I guess my long-winded point is all of our sports, nobody's diagram and plays for pop 10 years ago that was covering the league is that you can see greatness and appreciate it without being a nuanced expert. Yeah, listen, I think that, you know, it doesn't take a genius to when you see Lamin Yamal, who's 18 years old and he's just like a wizard out there. You're like, oh, yeah, he's he's he's better than everybody.
