Summary

Tara, Vince and Belz talk at some length about Julie Ertz's tepid recent performances, the numbers, and some of the other options.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Scuff Podcast where we talk about US soccer.
0:07.0	All right, it's also Wednesday, a day early. The Women's World Cup starts in 37 days,
0:21.0	and people are worried about Julie Ertz.
0:24.7	How about you guys?
0:26.4	You worried about her?
0:27.8	Tara?
0:28.8	No and I'm going to tell you why, even though I probably should be.
0:33.3	But, you know, backtrack a little bit.

1:37.9	And to me, I'm only considering this practice for the World Cup. I don't think she's really
1:45.3	bawd in to club play at all. So I'm not worried.
1:49.3	That's a I like that a cheery a cheery interpretation
