Welcome to the Scuff Podcast us from the World Cup.

A little more time to digest what happened

Greg what new information do we have about the player pool after they tested themselves

in Qatar I think for now I'll stick to the on-field information and I'd say I'd say like man I keep

thinking back to the whole to the whole tournament and like we knew we had I think or we thought we had a solid core of players right and I think what the World Cup showed us is we absolutely did have a solid core of players. Yeah.

Where it's hard to think of a single like actual starter from that group

stage that had a bad World Cup like no one had a performance that was a bad World Cup which

is just phenomenal thinking about what it means for

four years down the road because I don't even mean like caveated like for a 21 year

old that was a good World Cup it It was every single guy out there

had a pretty solid group stage of a World Cup.

Yeah, I think the only, you know,

the only person who even, you'd have to caveat it somewhat is probably Zimmerman because of that

penalty he conceded but I do think I'm not disagreeing with you I'm just saying like

Zimmerman conceded that penalty he otherwise was quite solid at the back.

Yeah.

And so that's the thing.

So Zimmerman absolutely had the huge mistake that he had

over the three games he played total, including knockout game and so then you say all right so

was he found out you know what I mean was he found out that you could just attack this week

link and and that's all you have to do in the US is sunk and I'd say the answer is no and I'm not trying to like excuse it I'm saying we had

going into this what I thought of is like a bucket full of error-prone centerbacks and so if you'd given me on any of our centerbacks, hey, this guy's going to make one pretty big mistake over three games.
