Ali Riley

I think Clare Emsley has been great for Angel City a- as well, and just like the different positions that she's had to kind of come back to make, to have Giselle go up front.

I know we talked to Ali Riley about that here a couple weeks ago, but I wanna talk about Kansas City current and taking advantage of what Ali just mentioned, Jeff, here, the psychology of it, right? Kansas City is a team that is used to playing, uh, used to playing, yeah, used to winning.

Yeah.

And we expect them to always be up top.
