00:00In some weird way, I'll make an admission this this doesn't sound good, but I'll make an admission in some weird way
00:09I was kind of hoping they would lose
00:12You know like but like what does it matter if they lose like what does it matter if they lose to the South Sudan in an
00:17Exhibition it does matter. It doesn't matter because in in a weird way
00:21I was kind of hoping they would lose
00:23Just so that it's like you ever have a team in the NCAA tournament and they went undefeated all year
00:28And and you you kind of want to get that one loss out of the way as opposed to when it really counts and you get
00:34Knocked out of the tournament. Okay, there was there was a part of me that wanted the u.s. To lose just to be like wake up guys
00:40Everybody's coming

00:56It it matters because at the end of the day you need consistent

01:02If you're gonna give me a dud do it against Serbia and win by one
01:07Don't do it against the South Sudan because now that shows you can let your guard down and I feel like that's what happened
01:13And that's what I'm afraid of
