[upbeat music] Hey everybody, we're gonna have a little fun today and run a draft, one of our signature moves at Scuffed.

The players available in this draft will include everyone who was on a US Men's National Team World Cup roster from 1994 to 2022.

Obviously no roster from 2018.

And we are each picking 11 players based on their professional peak.

I think we might have some discussion about whether that's ambiguous or not, and then we'll submit our rosters to the public for voting and we'll see who did the best.
