0:00.0	Hey there. Welcome to Fruitball with Grant Wall. Thanks so much for joining me. We've got
0:11.8	a special episode again today in partnership with Metal Arc and Levitard and Friends with
0:17.6	reaction from Landon Donovan, Chris Whittingham and me to the U.S. Men's national teams.
0:23.8	One tie with Canada in World Cup qualifying game two, Landon's in San Diego, where he coached
0:30.0	San Diego loyal. Chris is with me in person here in Nashville where I'm writing for my
0:36.5	sub-stack newsletter, which you should subscribe to for your paid at Grantwall.substack.com.
0:42.4	Guys, great to see you. Not a great result. How are you? I'm doing fine. How are you guys?
0:48.4	Bummed out, I would say. I traveled just to watch this game as a fan, and I was there. I
0:54.9	actually ended up separating myself from my friends just because I wanted to behave like a lunatic
0:59.2	in peace. And yeah, it was not fun. It was not fun. I will say this before we get going.
1:05.2	This is the first time I've ever seen Chris Whittingham in person after doing 150 podcast episodes

1:28.2	start with you, Landon, and just dive right in. You calmed a lot of people down after the tie
1:33.5	in El Salvador saying that that's common in ConquerCap qualifying. Dropping two points at home
1:40.0	to Canada feels worse than that. What's your sense? Well, first I want to say I tried to warn
1:46.1	people also that Canada are a good team. So this notion also that you just went at home automatically
1:53.6	doesn't happen. You have to earn it. And I went through that in 01. My first qualifier actually
2:00.5	was at RFK against Honduras. And we lost three, too. And you are not given the right to win these
2:07.7	games. Not at all. And so Canada are a good team. And if you don't make the plays offensively
2:14.8	and defensively that make the difference again, you can walk out of these games with a tie.
