So far, what have your thoughts been about the expanded format of the World Cup? Do you like what you're seeing in group play at this moment in time? And just your overall thoughts on the United States being able to host the World Cup.

Yeah.

It's, uh, I mean, you get a lot of mixed opinions on this expanded World Cup, but I think, um, as I was watching the Curacao game yesterday, one of the announcers talked about just how they got that goal against Germany and tied at 1-1, and it just brought tears to fans and it's, uh, something they'll never forget.

Um, so yeah, the scoreline was 7-1, but it also brought an opportunity for these guys to, to be on the world stage, for fans to experience that, their country to experience it and kinda know, know where they're at.

So I'm, as of right now, I'm good with, uh, the expansion for sure.

I think it'll create some competitive games in the round of 32 and make it, make it tougher to go to the finals.

But having the US here and the way that they're playing and hosting it has been absolutely electric.

What are your thoughts on the current college to professional pipeline and the way that United States soccer players are brought up in the way of soccer?
