This is Afonzo Davies and you're listening to BR Football Ranks a special bonus episode and we are delighted to be joined by Shalker,fielder and USMNC star, Weston.

Thank you so much for joining us.

Thanks for having me. Thanks for having you.

No problem.

Yeah, West, honestly, we've been desperate to get you on for like six months, like,

and pretty eager to get you on for like the whole time the pod is running.

So it's super excited to finally get you on here man it's a shame it's in these in these circumstances but it's great to have you on and we're excited to get into some

some quite cool things about your career all right it looks good to it well i mean it seems

remiss not to start with this kind of situation and and how is it how's it been and what's it like

being back in some ways?

In some points, it feels good to be back. It feels good to see the team and be training

and getting physical again and everything. But at the same time, it's like, man, like I also miss

being able to go outside when I want to, or I miss, you know,

shaking my teammates' hands or is it one of these core goal and trains to celebrate with each other.

We could kick each other's foot right now and go back behind the line.

So, I mean, it feels good at the same time just because it's, you know, it's what we all love to do, love to play soccer.

I'm sure the fans are a lot.

A bit relieved that we're starting back up this weekend as well.

What happens when you score a goal at the weekend or the following weekend and everyone piles on each other to celebrate?

Like you always do. It's not really allowed. Is it like what's going to happen?

Yeah, I don't know. It's foot celebrations, tapping each not really allowed. Is it like, what's going to happen? Yeah, I don't know.

It's foot celebrations, tapping each other's foot.
