Welcome to the Scuff Podcast Cup for the second straight cycle in the group stage.

How you doing, Tara?

I'm doing okay. I'm doing kind of equal parts, disappointed, proud, bothered, angry at Tracy.

All in all, I'm doing okay.

I'm reminded of the of the you 17

I guess you call it Men's World Cup, the U17 Boys World Cup, where Geo Random was on that team.

And they did even, I don't, they didn't win a single game in the group.

It did worse than this team.

And, you know, nobody's is anybody really thinking about that anymore

absolutely not it's reminding me of 2018 you 20 Women's World Cup, where we also did terribly, but I watched a few of the games, I remember.

And it was like, who is this Ashley Sanchez who is the Sophia Smith

Naomi Garma and they also failed to get out of their group so I mean for the women I think it's important to note that we haven't

won this tournament since 2012 and in between 2012 and today, we have won two senior team World Cups, two true World Cup.

So it's not some massive deterrent for the women's program.

It's not some huge failure for women's soccer.

It ended up truly being about watching some development and learning some players and I hope that I hope that they

feel okay because we we did see some bits of excitement and some promising talent.

And now they get to go home.

It's not the worst thing in the world.

So, Sophia Smith was on that team,

Naomi Germa, Ashley Sanchez.

Anybody else who's on the national team now?
