Welcome to the Scuff Wednesday, the Thursday edition.

We couldn't record yesterday morning because I scheduled a kids doctor appointment

for that window a long time ago.

So my bad, here we are a day later.

Jared from the discord suggested we call it Hers Day.

I think I like that. Anyway, Tara, Vince, how are you guys?

I'm good, I miss you guys.

I'm excited to talk a little bit about she believes.

Yeah, hell you. So we play Canada in a week, right?

Seven days, eight days. In Orlando, the roster is out and it's again very very similar to the previous rosters.

Sam Coffey is out and Haley Mace is out as well and also Sophia but we know that

she's a she's an but we know that she's a injury.

We know now for sure FIFA has the Women's World Cup roster at 23 people

and 23 people were called into camp.

Maybe we should discuss that because we've talked about it a little bit.

Is this just pure unadulterated sexism from FIFA?

I hear a lot of like back and forth online like it was only about COVID or it's about you know the money they want to pay I don't care the men just had 26 we should

have 26 so yeah I think so okay you know, I don't want to step too deep in it, but I, the one, the one argument that makes some sense to me is that the men's world cup was in the middle of the club season of the

European club season so that's why they gave them the extra three players because you

know as we all know they they finished their games for their clubs and they basically started the World Cup eight nine days later Yeah, I mean it makes sense but the counter to that is that the NWSL is you know the world Cup is happening in the middle of the NWSL season so

where a lot of players not just US players a lot of players will be coming from

right and the N WSL plays a much bigger role in the Women's World Cup than MLS does in the Men's World Cup.
