Rocco's in the car. Hi, Rocco.

Hello. Hello.

How are you? Good, Rocco. How are you?

I'm fantastic, my man. So I did hear your interview with Tyler, Taylor. Taylor,

Twelman. There you go. Well, you're basically saying

the same thing that I told you the other day, well, Tuesday or Wednesday or Wednesday when I called,

it's going to take you in the United States to win the World Cup, maybe next 60 to 100 years.

They're so way behind. It's not even funny. Don't even have a top 15 player right now in the current stage. I think Policicic is like right in the 70s, if I'm not mistaken. So I wish you asked him. Yeah, you wish I asked him what? Oh, man, I got another car. I got to take this. Okay, Rocco, never mind then. We'll talk to next week. I reject Taylor-Tolman's analysis. An analysis on that, by the way.

Yes. Oh, man, I got another car. I got to take this. Okay, Bronco, never mind then. We'll talk to you next week. I reject Taylor Tolman's analysis. So the idea that we're 60, 70 years. He said we're 60, 70 years behind. Right. And so, but basically, and I don't think he was understanding what I was trying to ask him. I'm like, when you're that far advanced, there's less room to grow.

So the team coming from a new beginning should be able to make up ground quickly at the beginning. At the end, it's hard. But at the beginning, it's easier. And he said, well, no, you're 60 or 70 years. So what, based on his logic, we're never going to get there. I don't want to hear that. That's just not just defeatist.

I don't think it's accurate.

I just, what based on his logic we're never going to get there i don't want to hear that that's just not just

defeatist i don't think it's accurate i just i mean you put your minds to it you put your

resources behind it you invest in it hire the right people support it financially

this country can do a lot of things never mind just field a field, a good soccer team. Like, what are we talking about? And again, I hate to keep using the hockey one, but someone needs to knock me off of why it's a bad analogy. How'd we catch up to the world in hockey like we have? How? When we were kids, Mad, there were no American hockey players. There weren't any good ones. There were aberrations. They were every now and then. Bobby Carpenter. Right. That's right. The Can't Miss Kid. And he was like an average NHL player. We never competed in the international stage, never competed in the junior stage, never competed. We put resources, money, we centralized it, we went after it.

And now we've caught up to the world in ice hockey.

And only a small, small fraction of our country plays it.

So how do we do that?

How do we close that massive gap with the Russians and the Canadians and the Scandinavian countries.
