Welcome to the Scuff Podcast where we talk about US Soccer. All right, three zip, over the People's Republic of China in Fort Lauderdale on Saturday afternoon, another leg of the friendly tie coming up on Tuesday.

Greg, how you doing?

I feel like I'm doing good.

I want to say I'm doing good.

I'm ready to love again, and I also worry that that's clouding my judgment of this soccer game.

I didn't like it very much at first at least. I mean it was great to see Sophia Smith at Stryker right I mean we've been we've been

asking for that we got it I mean that's there to complain about yeah that's that's

number one with the bullet was like you saw the line up and you were like,

I don't know what this will be, so you didn't know for sure. There was no recognized striker for the Vlatco era on the 11.

So you had some like,

hopes.

You let your hopes like kind of get you.

You're like, are we running a 3- five two what's going on?

Which you could like again because with with Emma maybe calling the shots we don't

even know if she's calling the shot but if she is

Twyla insists that she is not calling the shots.

Twyla insists that Twyla is calling the shot.

Emma is contractually not allowed to be calling the shots.

So Twyla is definitely still calling the shots. But even if Twyla is calling the

shots, Twyla knows who Emma is. And Twyla knows the 3-5-2s got to be on the table, you know, for Emma.

So it was possible that we were going to see like some form of 3.5.

And even then it was like, okay, who would the 2 be?
