Welcome to the Scuff Podcast where we talk about US soccer. Hey everybody USA to USA to Canada to Canada. We won in penalties to lift the trophy

as she believes cup trophy.

Greg, how you doing?

I'm doing pretty good, Bells.

You know, I've told you, I'm a simple man.

I enjoy the sight of freshly fallen snow, like listening to classical music and I like beating our rivals to the north

and consecutive shootouts. I miss the one about watching rain fall out in open window. I missed that one.

Yeah, it wasn't I guess it wasn't as wasn't as good of a game in my opinion as how we played against Japan but still you know

quite a more if this was if this was our first game after that gold cup run we

would be pretty happy about it quite I think quite an improvement on that.

Would you agree?

Yes 100% and again the my bar has been low

Be from what we sort of went through last cycle with our ideas and straight away in

this game you could see at least we were trying to have some ideas and so that's what I'm hoping that's what I want to see. They weren't as clean. It wasn't as fluid as the Japan game.

And I will I'm sure we will get into why that might have been the case and how we can you know get it back to being cleaner and more fluid but the

intent is clearly there and for me that's going to be half to battle with the quality of

players we have. Yeah that's more than half the battle. That's like that's like the battle.

That's the war. We won the war. Now, um, Sophia Smith of course with a with a brace, I'm that I'm sure we'll get into that on

Wilsa Wednesday next week because, you know, there's sort of been a running

controversy between Tara and Vince and me over how we rate Sophia Smith and you know she's she

certainly put the team on her back especially with that first goal just kind of

of made it out of nothing and showed why she is so dangerous.
