Welcome to the Scuff Podcast where we talk about US soccer. By the time you listen to this will be within 24 hours of this game against Iran on which I believe I can say without exaggeration,

everything depends, doesn't it, doesn't it,

doesn't it, Greg, everything depends on this one?

Like literally everything.

My mood for the next three and a half years. Everyone's mood towards the program for the next three and

half years. Because if we don't, if we don't get to win, you know, I mean it'll be the men's team, I think think in the mainstream like consciousness will sort of go back to

be in sort of this choke artist, Bodler, not very good.

For sure, like I got a text from my friend the other day after England and he said V

I'm reading this text he said V ellipsis I says I love you man but if we tie Iran I will never roof for American soccer

Hey I'm gonna I'm gonna keep rooting for him but yeah I get I think I get the

point with yeah it is just a thing for him for him. But yeah, I get the point.

Yeah, yeah, it's just to think, it's like,

yo, we have to win a game at least. You know what I'm saying?

It's like we're on the big stage, and if we go through three ties, two ties on a loss, whatever.

It's just not going to hit the way that we hope that it would.

No.

The way we've sort of built it up to, even knowing that, you know know this kind of outcome is always possible

over three games just ask Canada or Mexico but but yes it's definitely going to be

you know outside of outside of my personal bubble.

Like I don't see how this could be would be seen as anything

other than a massive disappointment.

But we're not going to.
