What's up, Lady Valorous. Welcome back. We're Sakura Props and it's Game Time.

Hi, Meg. Hello. Hi. Thanks for coming on. Yeah. Of course. Thank you for having me.

It's so excited to get to talk to you. You have like the best Twitter account for like informative quotes in the moment.

Things on my goodness. What what is always really tough is trying to live tweet while also being unmuted on zooms that has been kind of the joy because it used to be like if you were in a like a press conference, right?

You were just sitting in a room and everyone was typing on their laptop. But now it's like your mic is open. You don't want to get it turned off.

You're trying to very quietly be like, well, I was saying this, right? So kind of 2020 2021 problems.

Yeah, right. The challenges now. So yeah.

So we know your time's limited. So we really appreciate you hopping on and we just would love to get your opinion of the roster and everything.

If you want to go through like by position or if you want to just like go around.

Yeah, I would say just start us off and go for it. I feel like I have done nothing but think about this roster for about six months. So I don't think we're going to hit anything.

Did you I don't have at least one thought about it this point?

I was going to say, did you have in your head like do you play the game of like you try and come up with who they're going to come up with before it actually comes out?

I think Flock was pretty easy at this point. Like the only thing I was really surprised by was mid was mid first.

Yes. A lot of people were we were like so like who you have set not to see and so many people were upset not to see her.

Yeah, I think with midge, it's really interesting just because you know, and I said this in some of my reporting like they they have her learn a new position, right?

There is the conversion into an outside back. But then in the summer series, right, which is kind of like this last look of like we want to evaluate players.

It's not necessarily the only data point that's going to be considered, but that experiment of the first half against Jamaica as a as a forward and then the second half as an outside back.

I just kept thinking like that is such a specific experiment, right? Like that is really a test of can she play multiple roles, potentially even in the same game, right?

What is what is her movement like what happens with the rest of the team also if she makes that shift like it clearly was a very specific experiment.

And there was both positive and critical feedback after that match for her, but the critical feedback was really applied to everyone of just like everyone's finishing right now is in a very weird space, right?

Like this team should be capable of scoring a lot more goals than what they're actually scoring. And so the critical feedback was just like she needs to be more patient, but that's everyone right now, right?
