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.
