00:00I think just with an Olympics in general,
00:02I think it brings a different excitement.
00:04It brings a different,
00:06it's a whole different vibe than a World Cup.
00:08I think for, you know, us now being part of, you know,
00:12full Team USA, not just U.S. Soccer and the World Cup,
00:15I think that will draw in, obviously,
00:17a lot of viewers as well,
00:18that may not be as attuned with the soccer side
00:23or the national team side, but I think that's awesome.
00:26I think that's what the Olympics are all about.
00:27I think it's about bringing in new fans, new eyes.
00:30We've talked this whole year about, you know,
00:33looking towards the future and turning the page,
00:35and this is the start of that.
00:36Obviously, we've put the work in,
00:38in the last few months in this transition period
00:40with Twyla and with the coaching staff and with the players,
00:44but now with Emma in here and the full new staff
00:47and the roster being set, I think now this is the,
00:50the opportunity to officially kind of move
00:53in that forward direction.
00:55Hopefully that's what, you know,
00:57the fans tuning in are gonna get to see.
