0:00.0	Welcome to the Scuff Podcast where we talk about US Soccer. No Pulisic, no where? How do we proceed? How do we go on? Greg? Worrying? Worrying worriedly we're super worried because it's Trinidad and
0:26.7	because these games matter we have to get results over two legs or we won't go to
0:31.4	Kopa and and no I'm just doing a bit we are not worried at all.
0:36.1	We are going to I think pretty comfortably overwhelmed Trinidad.
0:40.4	I understand that there is going to be some PTSD for some folks who are like how can you possibly say that after 2017
0:47.0	Right but we have played Trinidad three times since 2017 all in the US which we should note but it's a two-legged affair here so we get that
0:58.7	padding that we didn't have for that fateful game in Koouba and our results in our three times we've played

1:34.4	It is not necessarily our world-beating lineup,
1:37.2	and we won that match 60.
1:38.8	So I think we will be fielding,
1:41.4	even without Pulaskin-Waya, I think we will be fielding a lineup that is going to be strong enough to win this game comfortably at home and
1:49.9	coast through the away leg to advance.
1:54.1	Yeah, I agree.
1:56.1	It's just, it's a, it's instructive, like how bad were we in 2017? I mean maybe Trinidad declined also,
2:07.6	Trinidad, Tobago declined also, but boy, oh boy,
2:11.5	happy to see those days in the rearview mirror.
