🚨 USWNT ROSTER DROP! + EARLY USA v BRAZIL PREVIEW · Into the Channel ⚽️ A Podcast Primarily About Women's Football

• 0:03
  OK, welcome to Into the Channel podcast primarily about one's
• 0:06
  football. I'm your host DM Suspidas and as
• 0:09
  always, I am joined for this very special impromptu episode,
• 0:13
  this very special USWNT roster drop episode of Into the Channel
• 0:18
  and I'm joined as mentioned by my Co host, Mr. Grant Eagle.
• 0:21
  What is that man? I'm feeling pretty great, buddy.
• 0:24
  I mean, look, we got Champions League on the horizon, Champions
• 0:27
  League in progress, if you know, depending on when you're
• 0:30
  listening to this. And we got the US women's
• 0:33
  national team drop. And you know, if there's one
• 0:35
  thing we like to do, it's talk about a roster before we've seen
• 0:39
  a single game be played. That's our jam right there.
• 0:43
  Look, look, look behind the curtain.
• 0:45
  So, you know, as as mentioned, you know, in previous episodes,
• 0:49
  your boys move in coast to coast, east to West, going from,
• 0:53
  you know, Orlando Pride town to, you know, Bay of Sea stomping
• 0:56
  grounds. Very much looking forward to
• 0:58
  that. That's happening in a couple
• 0:59
  weeks, but got to be out of the apartment by the end of this
• 1:03
  week. You know, April first or March
• 1:06
  31st, that's the drop dead. And then all of our stuff gets
• 1:09
  shipped out Thursday morning. So everything's packed up My my
• 1:13
  office, my space here, my little, my little ITC studio,
• 1:16
  little cavernous, you know, little little Lumen Field like
• 1:19
  here versus, you know, on a, on a Sunday afternoon versus
• 1:22
  Chicago stars. That's kind of what it's feel
• 1:24
  like here. But yeah, as mentioned, the
• 1:27
  roster drops. You sent me a text.
• 1:30
  Props to you. I appreciate it.
• 1:31
  Didn't have time to look at it, even though I was like, OK,
• 1:33
  roster's here. You know, I'm on my phone.
• 1:36
  Got a zoom, you know, don't you know your boys?
• 1:39
  It doesn't have these readers nearby, you know, so it's like,
• 1:41
  yeah, let me let me circle back to this.
• 1:42
  I'm mid move. I'm loading up the truck.
• 1:45
  So I didn't look at it. We record our Champions League
• 1:48
  episode this evening live. Make sure you're following
• 1:51
  subscribe just so you catch all the the live action that we're
• 1:54
  doing. But I have yet to see the
• 1:56
  roster. So I, I saw that he texted me.
• 2:00
  So I, I literally know nothing. I know nothing about this
• 2:03
  roster. So we're going to do a thing.
• 2:06
  We're doing a thing. We're we're going to pop it open
• 2:09
  again. And I'm just going to react in
• 2:10
  real time just to the news and, and, and I'm excited to hear
• 2:14
  you've had some time to digest. I've had no time to digest.
• 2:18
  Should be a fun show. Let's do it.
• 2:19
  Where do you want to get started?
• 2:21
  God, I love this so much. OK and I'll say, even with my
• 2:25
  time to digest, I I texted you and we'll see once I share my
• 2:29
  screen. I texted you this the the shadow
• 2:31
  executive producer of this program texted me and with a
• 2:36
  screenshot of the roster, which from what I believe is an
• 2:39
  Instagram reels No, not Instagram reels, Instagram
• 2:43
  stories. I think I'm but, but I'm 1000
• 2:46
  years old. My apologies.
• 2:48
  I believe it's an IG story. Yeah.
• 2:51
  I went on my Instagram and so the, the shadow executive
• 2:56
  producer texted to me. I immediately texted to you.
• 2:59
  It was 14 minutes before a an important meeting that I needed
• 3:04
  to get into was starting. So I was in the parking lot of
• 3:06
  this place because your boy is always punctual when it comes to
• 3:09
  those very important meetings I have for the people I work with.
• 3:14
  But I had a chance to look at it and then I put it away.
• 3:16
  And then I had to be locked in laser focused to what I was
• 3:18
  doing with my colleagues for the day.
• 3:21
  So I have had some time to digest, but not a ton.
• 3:24
  So you're going to be looking at it this first time.
• 3:26
  I'm going to be looking at it again and we'll collaborate from
• 3:30
  there. So enough, enough with the with
• 3:33
  the filibustering. Let me hear share screen.
• 3:37
  Can I share that? OK, sorry, it's not going to let
• 3:44
  me, it's not going to let me share the image.
• 3:47
  How do I do that? Let's see if I can do that here.
• 3:50
  I'm going to open your text screen window.
• 3:55
  All right there we go. I got it.
• 3:57
  Boom. All right, let's take a look
• 3:59
  here all. Right.
• 4:01
  We're here. OK.
• 4:02
  Keepers checks out. Alana Cook.
• 4:05
  OK, Davidson, Dunn, Fox McKeon, Avery Patterson, Emily.
• 4:11
  Sam's at least on it. OK, No Germa, it's the first
• 4:16
  thing we notice. Probably still nursed that
• 4:18
  injury. No Jordan Bug.
• 4:20
  Not sure how I feel about that. I mean, what are we waiting for
• 4:23
  here? Midfielders.
• 4:26
  OK, Corbin Albert again. Still still trying to make a
• 4:30
  make that happen. Coffee got to be here Heaps.
• 4:35
  I guess another another lap around the park with Lindsay
• 4:37
  Heaps. We'll see.
• 4:39
  Claire Hutton, Jaden Shaw listed as a midfielder.
• 4:41
  OK. And Lily, Johanna, as you
• 4:42
  already know, OK, this is alphabetical.
• 4:45
  I'm not going to take offense to Lily being last.
• 4:47
  All right? I was about to.
• 4:48
  I was about to get a little heated.
• 4:49
  Yeah. What are we doing here?
• 4:51
  Forwards. OK Cooper, Hatch, Mercario,
• 4:54
  Trinity Rodman, Yasmine Ryan, Ally Sentinor, Elissa Thompson.
• 4:57
  OK, no. Emma Sears.
• 4:58
  That's the first thing I kind of noticed there.
• 5:01
  Oh, wow. L Swanson.
• 5:04
  I mean, personal reasons kind of extending out a little bit.
• 5:11
  Yeah, well, that that's something that we'll we'll we'll
• 5:13
  monitor. I'm I'm starting to fear that
• 5:16
  triple espresso we might have that might have just been, you
• 5:19
  know, a shooting star across the sky.
• 5:21
  Like, you know, like it. I I'd hate to see that.
• 5:24
  But now it's like it's it's it's it's moving into the rearview
• 5:28
  mirror a little bit. Some of these other players are
• 5:29
  ascending. I I'm I'm curious to see if
• 5:34
  that's ever something that we see for an extended pier.
• 5:36
  I'm sure we'll see it, you know, those 3 within the same unit.
• 5:40
  But I don't know, players like Cooper coming on Macaro, you
• 5:44
  know, she's she's carving out space.
• 5:45
  She has me, Ryan and Sentinor, Alyssa Thompson as well.
• 5:51
  I I yeah, I don't know. But that's my, that's my, that's
• 5:54
  my real time reaction going down the list.
• 5:58
  What caught? What caught your eye here?
• 6:00
  I think that's understandable. I think, you know, obviously,
• 6:03
  you know, we, we've mentioned it a few times, like we just hope
• 6:06
  everything is OK for Mallory Swanson, that she's that she's
• 6:09
  doing well. So I, I don't think, you know,
• 6:13
  obviously congratulations to Sophie Wilson, who's expecting.
• 6:17
  We got a lot of windows until that 2027 World Cup.
• 6:21
  So I mean, well, I guess we don't have a ton of windows, but
• 6:25
  we have a few. So, you know, we'll, we'll kind
• 6:27
  of see how it goes, but I, I think we'll see triple espresso
• 6:31
  again. Triple espresso will be on the
• 6:33
  menu the next one of these times.
• 6:35
  We see a roster here in the, in the next year or two or in the
• 6:38
  next year and a half or two. I think the first thing that
• 6:43
  popped out to me, and obviously I, I already mentioned the
• 6:46
  shadow executive producer of this program.
• 6:49
  The first thing she sends me is when she sends me the the
• 6:52
  screenshot and then she says, what did I tell you about PTJ?
• 6:58
  Fallon Tellus Joyce, the shadow executive producers favorite
• 7:02
  American goalkeeper. 11 clean sheets this WSL season for
• 7:07
  Manchester United, those Red Devils.
• 7:11
  I love this as a pick. 11 clean sheets out of 17 matches played.
• 7:16
  I love this pic. I think PTJ is a logical choice.
• 7:21
  I, you know, and we've talked about it.
• 7:22
  I like Jane Campbell's makeup. I like Mandy Mcglinn a lot.
• 7:26
  What PTJ she is listed at, I mean, she's, she's somewhere
• 7:31
  between 6 foot and six foot one depending on where you look.
• 7:36
  And you know, I've also got an official ruling from the shadow
• 7:39
  executive producer that you you are not a benefactor or a
• 7:43
  beneficiary of hashtag tall girl bias, as she likes to say,
• 7:49
  unless you are 59 or taller. So obviously, Fallon, tell us.
• 7:52
  Joyce clears that bar easily. I think it's really interesting.
• 7:56
  And I wouldn't be surprised if if she gets a start in one of
• 8:00
  these Brazil matches. Yeah.
• 8:03
  I mean, why wouldn't you take a look there?
• 8:06
  And obviously the Brazil matches you're you're referencing April
• 8:08
  5th at Sofi, April 8th PayPal Park.
• 8:12
  So it'll be a little bit of West Coast.
• 8:13
  Who are there? I know Aubrey Kingsbury is 33
• 8:18
  years old, but the level that she's at like what what she's
• 8:25
  kind of able to do and like, you know, the big game nature of of
• 8:28
  of kind of like her game specifically got to see her and,
• 8:32
  and talked to her a little bit, you know, leading up to the
• 8:35
  Challenge Cup and after the Challenge Cup.
• 8:36
  Actually, that's a player that I think, you know, the the age
• 8:40
  profile doesn't necessarily work, but I don't know, like
• 8:44
  McGlynn, I don't want to pick up McGlynn, but Mcglynn's had a
• 8:47
  couple shaky moments here in NWSL and also for the national
• 8:53
  team, less so for the national team.
• 8:56
  Jane Campbell, you know, I think that Jane Campbell's a little
• 8:59
  bit older as well. PTJI love that call out, but I
• 9:02
  don't know, I think Kingsbury is something that you got to kind
• 9:04
  of like take a look at. I think within with this
• 9:08
  defense, maybe in the summer competitions that that that
• 9:13
  could be something that I think I don't know, I'd I'd like to
• 9:15
  see that. Great take.
• 9:18
  I love it. Yeah. 33 years old.
• 9:20
  Hundred and 2533 years, 125 days old.
• 9:25
  November 20th, 1991 is the birth date.
• 9:28
  Another Sagittarius, as we've mentioned before on this podcast
• 9:32
  out of Cincinnati, OH. I I mean, I love this take.
• 9:36
  You know how I feel about Kingsbury.
• 9:37
  I picked her to win Goalkeeper of the year in the NWSL this
• 9:40
  year. You know, and I think with your
• 9:43
  goalkeepers, you don't have to necessarily find the goalkeeper
• 9:48
  of the future right away, right? Like you can you if if you're
• 9:52
  out here kind of looking at what you're, you know, just trying to
• 9:56
  win some football matches and just see who's who is your best
• 9:59
  option. And if in the 27, you know, even
• 10:03
  ignoring kind of goalkeeper of the future stuff, even if she is
• 10:07
  33 right now, she's 35 in the 27 World Cup.
• 10:13
  Like that's dual. You could absolutely play that
• 10:16
  keeper in the World Cup and still have a great chance to
• 10:18
  win. Yeah, totally.
• 10:22
  All right. So we'll keep an eye on that.
• 10:23
  And obviously these are friendlies against Brazil, but I
• 10:27
  think still pretty telling. The next thing I wanted to talk
• 10:29
  about real quick, the midfielders.
• 10:32
  So obviously Bethune's still probably injured, not ready to
• 10:35
  kind of come back in here, but know how Hersh felt and I think
• 10:39
  a little a little light on the defensive midfield front.
• 10:45
  You've got coffee. Heaps normally plays up higher.
• 10:49
  Albert will see where she plays Claire Hutton, Jaden Shaw and
• 10:53
  Jaden Shaw Lilihanis, those are more attacking type players.
• 10:58
  I don't know if she's if Mahesa thing about playing Lily a
• 11:00
  little, you know, deeper in the defence.
• 11:02
  Yeah, but that that kind of stuck out to me, you know, like
• 11:05
  this this midfield makeup and I think the midfield has been
• 11:08
  something we've been talking about pretty much since the
• 11:12
  start of the show. Yeah, you know, for for this
• 11:15
  U.S. National team, but I don't did.
• 11:17
  What was your read on the Midfield Room?
• 11:20
  I'm with you. I I think I think we're going to
• 11:23
  get some Claire Hutton, Lily Johannes, Lily Johannes, pardon
• 11:26
  me as your 66 defensive midfielder, pivot midfielders,
• 11:30
  whatever you want, whatever you want to call the position.
• 11:34
  I am a fan. I like I like lilies offensive
• 11:37
  attacking game. I do.
• 11:39
  There is a part of me that wonders like could she have like
• 11:43
  some serious Rodri type vibes of yes, I'm a defensive midfielder,
• 11:49
  but I'm also just a damn maestro back there and you know, Boots,
• 11:52
  Sergio Busquets or somebody like that kind of.
• 11:54
  And obviously here, shockingly enough, here I am quoting a
• 11:57
  bunch of Pep Guardiola defensive midfielders.
• 12:00
  But who would have thought? But you know, she has that level
• 12:03
  of genius to her game at already such a young age.
• 12:06
  So if you if you put Johannes and Hutton back there, you could
• 12:09
  put Johannes and coffee back there, I think you're going to
• 12:12
  get some really good looks. You know, Kat Macario is listed
• 12:16
  as a forward. I think we know that in a lot of
• 12:18
  cases she's probably going to play number 10.
• 12:22
  But you know, as I say that, and I I think it's funny you
• 12:26
  mentioned Lindsay Heaps. You said, you know, kind of go
• 12:30
  do this again, take this out for a spin again there.
• 12:33
  I I didn't watch SpongeBob SquarePants.
• 12:36
  I'm too old for it. But I have seen the meme of some
• 12:40
  fish in that cartoon who is like shaking a fist and says, how
• 12:46
  many times do I have to teach you this lesson, old man?
• 12:50
  And I gotta tell you, buddy, not not calling you an old man.
• 12:53
  We both are. Lindsay Heaps is going to play,
• 12:56
  man. She's just, she's going to be on
• 12:58
  every roster. She's probably going to be in
• 13:00
  every pretty much every starting lineup.
• 13:03
  She's just going to be a part of the team while Emma Hayes is
• 13:05
  around, at least as we get into the end of this year at the
• 13:09
  absolute least. Yeah, I mean, it'd be awesome if
• 13:14
  she scored a goal at some point. I mean, like we're now we're
• 13:20
  that that meter's been running for a little bit a minute here.
• 13:25
  And as we wait, I think, I mean, Macario's interesting to figure
• 13:31
  out where she's going to play, whether she, I mean, I don't
• 13:34
  know if you're if anybody is, why wouldn't you split time at
• 13:37
  that 10? Maybe try some some different
• 13:39
  stuff formation wise to see what's doing there.
• 13:44
  The forward room, looking at it real quick.
• 13:49
  OK, Cooper Hatch, Macario, Rodman Yasmeen set nor Alyssa
• 13:55
  Thompson feels a little bit. I mean Cooper brings some
• 14:02
  physicality. I mentioned no Emma Sears Hatch,
• 14:08
  I think has some good physicality as well.
• 14:10
  You know, can can pass, you know in the in the attacking 3rd for
• 14:15
  sure and finish. But it does feel a little bit
• 14:20
  I'd be interested to see what, what this forward room can do
• 14:22
  against Brazil specifically. You know, we talked to, you
• 14:25
  know, we talked on the live show defensively, you know, Real
• 14:29
  Madrid, we talked a lot about Real Madrid, Yasmim and Antonia,
• 14:32
  2 standouts on Madrid that that represent Brazil.
• 14:36
  And we know that that Brazilian side is loaded silver medal last
• 14:40
  year in the Olympics. I can definitely see this
• 14:43
  forward room struggling against that Brazilian defense.
• 14:47
  Lorena too, we talked about her and that we saw show last week.
• 14:51
  Do you think what, what? What am I?
• 14:54
  I'm having trouble putting my finger on?
• 14:55
  Kind of like what's missing from this group.
• 14:58
  Have you thought about that? Did anything stick out to you
• 14:59
  there? You know, I think when you list
• 15:02
  Macario there, you, you ask yourself, OK, are, are we going
• 15:07
  to see an Alyssa Thompson on the left, Cat Macario at #9 Trinity
• 15:10
  Rodman on the right top three? I think it's very, I think it's
• 15:15
  very possible. You know, then you still have
• 15:18
  Centinor to bring on. You have Ryan to bring on.
• 15:21
  Shout out to Ashley Hatch, man, 29 years old, still getting
• 15:24
  these call UPS, you know, kind of oscillates between between
• 15:28
  the club. I let me just make sure that I
• 15:31
  have this right live Fact Check on the show.
• 15:36
  Ashley Hatch has 2222 caps, 22 caps for the US women's national
• 15:45
  team and five goals. So you know, at 29 years old,
• 15:48
  she's not quite at like that super established veteran.
• 15:52
  I'm always in the squad type of player, but the fact that she is
• 15:55
  always consistently good enough to be kind of getting these
• 15:57
  looks. I just think that's really
• 15:59
  that's awesome for her and she's played really well for
• 16:02
  Washington spirit the last season plus.
• 16:06
  So, you know, I, I, I'm not quite sure.
• 16:08
  Like, are they missing when you take Sophie Wilson off the
• 16:13
  squad? It, it's kind of, you can kind
• 16:16
  of look at it, especially when we saw the way those Olympics
• 16:19
  played out with triple espresso up top.
• 16:23
  And I know, yeah, I know you and I look, try to look at football
• 16:25
  a lot of different ways, but without that superlative #9 like
• 16:30
  I'm putting this player at #9 and I know they can score goals
• 16:33
  and I know their movement is going to be good.
• 16:35
  And I know they have good chemistry with the other
• 16:37
  attacking players. Without that, you are kind of
• 16:40
  left looking around me and like, who's going to do that for us?
• 16:44
  Right, right, yeah. And I think, I think it's going
• 16:48
  to be, I, I actually think it's going to be maybe an issue
• 16:54
  against Brazil. I think Brazil's a bad match up,
• 16:57
  you know, to kind of show up for without without that.
• 17:02
  And I think defensively US is going to hold up really well.
• 17:06
  I, I like the line up here. Cook, Davidson, Dunn, Fox,
• 17:09
  Mickey owner. I love Avery Patterson,
• 17:12
  definitely a newcomer. I know, I know she plays for the
• 17:15
  dash. Got 2290 pluses so far and had
• 17:19
  some moments. Not super familiar with her
• 17:22
  game. Emily Samms you already know.
• 17:25
  Well, I'm, I'm not going to lie, I'm a little bit bummed that
• 17:27
  there's only one representative from my champion of everything,
• 17:31
  Orlando Pride on this roster. That's a bit of a bummer.
• 17:35
  And then Emily Sonnet, ITC Hall of Famer, you already know,
• 17:38
  let's see Sonnet in there as well.
• 17:41
  Defensively, I think, I think this is probably, I think it's
• 17:44
  probably EU s s strongest, strongest unit just as I'm
• 17:48
  digesting this list. So I I think it'll be a little
• 17:51
  bit cagey those two matchups. What do you what do you foresee
• 17:57
  defensively trying to kind of hold, hold down that Brazilian
• 18:00
  attack? Yeah, I think it's going to be
• 18:03
  interesting to see. So you know, you talk about two
• 18:07
  90s. I mean, Crystal Dunn had a
• 18:10
  little bit of a rough go in the in that last set of matches in
• 18:15
  the She Believes Cup. I mean, she gave the full 90 for
• 18:18
  Perry Zonderman against Perry FC on March 15th, played 78 minutes
• 18:23
  and notched an assist against Montpellier in back in February
• 18:28
  on February 15th. You know, I, I just, I, I think
• 18:33
  it's been well established for anybody who's watched the show.
• 18:35
  I'm in the tank for Crystal Dunn.
• 18:36
  I think she was absolutely pivotal to the domination and,
• 18:40
  and winning the 2019 World Cup. She was my favorite players of
• 18:43
  all time. I love her in there as a leader.
• 18:46
  Alana Cook is another one of those players kind of like
• 18:48
  Ashley Hatch, who's kind of, you know, been in, been in the
• 18:52
  national team mix and then been kind of been out of the national
• 18:54
  team mix. And you kind of wondered, is
• 18:56
  this player ever going to make their way back in?
• 18:58
  And Alana Cook is comported herself well since leaving
• 19:02
  Seattle Rain FC and heading to Kansas City current because it
• 19:05
  kind of helped stabilize their defense really in some ways.
• 19:08
  So you know, you mentioned Terry and Mickey own.
• 19:13
  I think it's becoming apparent that Mickey own is an is an Emma
• 19:18
  Hayes type player at this point. I think we could safely say that
• 19:22
  her toughness, her ability to to play on the ball, it's, it's
• 19:26
  well reported that she's a former attacking player.
• 19:30
  So yeah, I think the, I think the defense is strong.
• 19:33
  Brazil has a lot of dynamic and genius players though, so I
• 19:37
  think we're we should be in for two exciting matches up and down
• 19:42
  the California coast. Definitely looking forward to
• 19:46
  it. Do we know if the Brazil roster
• 19:47
  dropped? I was actually wondering the
• 19:49
  same thing this is this is the beauty of us doing a show when
• 19:52
  we're both busy and working a lot.
• 20:00
  Let's see, let's see, let's see. Because I mean, they've got a
• 20:05
  lot of options, obviously Cataline cooking, Debina cooking
• 20:09
  in the NWSL. So they've got players that are
• 20:13
  doing damage all over the place. And you mentioned, you know, you
• 20:18
  mentioned Yasmim and Antonio for Real Madrid.
• 20:21
  Tarciani got some minutes, I think she might have played like
• 20:23
  around 1/2 hour in Leon's dominating 5 nil win over St.
• 20:27
  Etienne and headed a had an important block in that.
• 20:30
  Not important in the sense like Leon was ever in danger of
• 20:33
  losing the match, but an important block in the sense of
• 20:36
  CNN Tien almost had a shot on goal and Tarzian, they snuffed
• 20:40
  it out on the on their way to that big win.
• 20:43
  So you know, you know, Barcelona when they come to the United
• 20:48
  States, they're going to give you a dogfight every every
• 20:51
  minute of the full 90. So it'll be all 180 minutes.
• 20:56
  Barcelona's going to be coming in there looking to, you know,
• 20:59
  to to knife you essentially to get the win to walk out of there
• 21:03
  with their with their heads held high.
• 21:06
  I also think you know these mites and somebody please
• 21:11
  correct me if I'm wrong in the comments.
• 21:13
  Since Marta's international retirement, I think these will
• 21:15
  be their first two matches in the in the good old US of a
• 21:19
  since the greatest player of all time has retired from their
• 21:21
  national squad. So it's going to be interesting
• 21:23
  to see. Yeah, and I think maybe I don't
• 21:27
  get more than one Orlando player on this U.S. team, but I don't
• 21:32
  know who knows that it doesn't look like Brazil's announced
• 21:34
  yet, but I don't know. Maybe Angelina's in the mix.
• 21:36
  Rafael is in the mix. Maybe we'll see.
• 21:37
  Should be maybe Marta Unretires would love to see that.
• 21:41
  Ariana, maybe she maybe they'd let her out of Saudi Arabia to
• 21:43
  go back, take part. Either way, should be a great
• 21:47
  couple matches. Definitely looking forward to
• 21:48
  that. All right, man, I appreciate
• 21:51
  you. I definitely appreciate you
• 21:52
  hopping on short notice to kind of breakdown this roster news.
• 21:56
  But with that said, anything else you want to hit for you out
• 21:57
  here? I mean, I want to make one more
• 22:01
  shout out here and you know, it's well established.
• 22:04
  We've been talking about Lily Johanna since we were covering
• 22:06
  last year's Champions League and she was jumping off the screen
• 22:08
  there. Lily Johannes, as we say, no
• 22:11
  brainer, no doubter. We didn't mean to under discuss
• 22:14
  her preference presence on this roster.
• 22:17
  She has to be on the roster. Emma Hayes has no another
• 22:19
  choice. She knows this, everybody knows
• 22:21
  that. MAS watches this program shadow
• 22:23
  Emma and and Lily has to be there.
• 22:27
  I honestly think when we talk about this midfield room, Claire
• 22:32
  Hutton is kind of walking that stature down.
• 22:36
  She is coming close to that. And every time I see her play,
• 22:39
  and you were on it early, every time I see her player, I'm like
• 22:43
  she's she's got to be on the US national team roster.
• 22:46
  Yeah, she's a star player. Yeah, I got my Sharpie here
• 22:49
  somewhere. Yeah, like as mentioned, I'm,
• 22:51
  I'm in the middle of the move. Definitely got a lot of mileage
• 22:53
  out of the Sharpie, you know, writing down on these cardboard
• 22:56
  boxes what's inside. Either way, as soon as soon as I
• 22:59
  get landed, the Sharpie goes back to, you know, right next to
• 23:03
  my ITC record book for stuff like this.
• 23:05
  But yeah, I think Hutton's definitely at that level should
• 23:10
  feels still a little transition. Y you know, I think as
• 23:13
  mentioned, these are friendlies, but should be very, very
• 23:16
  compelling football to watch in the next few weeks here.
• 23:19
  But damn, I'm just realizing it's March 26th and April 5th is
• 23:23
  like what, nine days away, 10 days away.
• 23:28
  It's like right around that. I cannot believe how close we
• 23:30
  are. OK, apologies for that.
• 23:32
  A little bit of calendar talk here on the ITC.
• 23:34
  You know, we stay unpredictable that we do.
• 23:40

• 24:12
  Mr. Grant Engel 4. You already know the Sharp.
• 24:15
  Your name stays in Sharpie in my book.
• 24:17
  I appreciate you bro. Likewise buddy, can I just ask
• 24:20
  to to derail the ending? Is this the last into the
• 24:24
  channel from your home studio there in Orlando?
• 24:29
  Last one Yep, unless something crazy happens tomorrow at like
• 24:33
  6:00 AM and I send out the backs to do we have to jump back on
• 24:36
  and talk about something This is the last one so shout out to
• 24:42
  this room yeah got a lot of views recorded a lot of pods
• 24:46
  went live went not live did a lot of editing.
• 24:48
  I think this is my editing room. But now that we're live in
• 24:51
  editing's in the past, you know, we just, we're we own these
• 24:55
  takes. We're not afraid.
• 24:57
  Like let's unleash it. You know, if we got to rewind
• 24:59
  and, you know, do a do a little retake here, that's, you know,
• 25:03
  that never hurt anybody. But yeah, definitely an
• 25:05
  emotional, I think more emotional that I'm going to be
• 25:08
  the an extreme, extremely far distance away from my beloved
• 25:12
  Orlando Pride. I think that's what hurts more
• 25:14
  than than leaving this room. But I appreciate you for asking
• 25:17
  me that. Of course, end of an era, my
• 25:20
  good man. You crushed it in Orlando.
• 25:22

• 25:28
