Welcome to the Scuffed Podcast. I'm Adam Bells in Minneapolis. With me is Greg Velasquez and

Des Moines. We talk about U. Greg, what's your... Trinidad and Tobago so we've had some time to digest it.

Greg, what's your big picture takeaway?

My big picture takeaway is that we got about 55 minutes of what I would call substandard play, followed by about 25 minutes of what I really

And you can guess whether it was, I mean, it was the last 25 minutes

Okay. All right well let's go let's go through some of the game's big moments and

then we're we we've organized this organized our quote-unquote

analysis is why you got to put air quotes around our analysis.

I don't know, just feels better to be self-deprecating.

We've got a bunch of questions, like I think we have six or seven questions
