Welcome to another episode of The Queen's pitch. I'm Kara and I'm Bridget. And this time, we're recapping the unfortunate loss 1 to 0 to New England revolution. Bridget, this was a rainy, sad, just demoralizing loss. Not like for the team, but just as a fan because you. I feel like we saw a different team. Then what we normally have seen. But also, you know, we knew New England's at the bottom of the table. So we're going into it going okay. We've been challenged. They say they're going to win on Saturday. Come on Charlotte, we know we can bring it. We've done really well so far. And then it felt like we played. Down lower than our usual potential, but maybe that's just the results. Not telling the truth of the match. What do you think? I don't know.
Bridget
1:10
I told you earlier, I pretty much put this whole game out of my mind. I think 1s after it was over with, because I was so sad about it. I don't know if it was just that we weren't prepared and we went in and didn't have our mental. Or is it the fact that we just were finally exposed for what we are? I don't know. I think it's the latter that scares me. What do you
Kara
1:34
think? I don't think this is the same team from last year in in the same way. Like we saw a lot of away losses in general. It's very hard for us to win away. We had a lot of draws, but in this case we couldn't even get a draw. But I, I don't think this is the same sad result. Like I think we should be so positive and still hopeful. To me, this this is only sad for us because we believe we have hope. We have such passion for the team and for them to win that. That's not the result line that it happened. And now did we deserve to win this match? I think that's a no, I think. New England had multiple opportunities where they had momentum and and their results and how we were playing helped drive that. I think there were times where Charlotte just wasn't cohesive and connected, and that they were playing more like individuals instead of together as one unit. And sometimes, like you said, that that final ball, it's just been a problem for us. But is that the same that we were last year? No, I don't think that's the case. I think this is going to get better. It's going to improve over the season. It's still early. We're not the only team that is having trouble finishing chances. It's just stinky because a lot of our finishing chances, well, I mean, it's just it's just been kind of the M.O. of our, you know, the games we've had so far. You
Bridget
3:12
just know that the way you can do better. But we're not. I think that's what frustrates us the most. It's like we see that the shots are there. We see that they can get there. But then why are they continuing to air or not do what they need to do? It just doesn't make any sense to me. And so I'm just going to go ahead and tell you my wrath. How about that?
Kara
3:30
Go for it. So
Bridget
3:31
Marietta's not going to be a specific person, because if it was, I probably pick out a bunch of them. And I'm not trying to dog the whole team because I don't feel like that's necessarily yet. Now, if we're still if we're talking about a loss after Saturday, maybe, maybe I will dog some people. But right now I'm just going to say that we marathe this week is that we can't finish. And we talk about it and we talk about it, but it's like soccer 101. Like that's the problem my kid has with her middle school teams. They don't know how to finish. They can get to the box and then they start being really knowing and crazy. And I don't understand how we can't be like that. And so then we're in practices. We go to those open practices a couple I've been to a couple of them and we see them working on finishing drills. So we know they're working on it. But then they get out there and it's like every week they're progressively getting worse. And it's not just like I think we had two shots. I think they said on Sunday. I think the staff was like two shots and not on target. Like you can't win the MLS playing like that. And if we don't do something to fix that problem like stat, then we have no hope this season. And I want to say that we don't because I do think that we can because you see, like like even Dean was saying like you can't you have seven shots on target. Like Caroline had seven shots like last night in this game. Game four. If you have seven shots, then why can't if you straighten them up, bro? Not just him though, because Patrick couldn't make anything happen with his shots. He was there. And Enzo can be right in front of the goal and can't do anything I don't.
Kara
5:04
If
Bridget
5:05
your strikers can't strike, then you can't win. So the whole game were just like counting on our defense to hang on for dear freaking life, which is the same thing we did last year. I mean, granted, our defense is better this year, so they're actually doing it. That's not like the soccer team we want to be, in my opinion. So I'm just going to not wrath like one person. I'm just going to rack everybody that is afford. I think that's how it goes. Right? Everybody that's like,
Kara
5:33
aw yeah, that's a tough wrath. And I don't think it's not justified. A little harsh. And this
Bridget
5:40
is two days after. Can you imagine if you would have thought like right after the game.
Kara
5:46
I don't think we could have recorded then. 2s All right. That's
Bridget
5:50
the whole deal. We have these pressers and I don't care. Who cares? Do it. You can't. I can't talk to Dean after the game when we
Kara
5:57
lose,
Bridget
5:59
so I do not. You're not. But, you know, 2s luckily they don't have Ashley. I mean,
Kara
6:07
I was going to tackle Ashley some hard questions but they threw Jaylen on us and it threw me all kinds of off. And they didn't know what to say. So you know
Bridget
6:15
I did I did ask Ashley why they can't finish. He says he doesn't know. So if he doesn't know then I don't know what to do. 2s I don't know what to do. 2s Ah I think it's a valid criticism because we we see it, we see the almost and we've seen the almost for weeks. I think part of it that we do have to still keep in mind we just really upfront there that, you know, especially the last few games we've had Patrick Agyemang up top at that nine, right. He's still a young guy. He is not the quintessential professional that scores goals and scores goals and scores goals like he is still learning. He's learning the timing. He's learning. You know, the people around him especially. And not only that, the whole front line has been changing week to week. And I don't mean like as much as we saw last year because I felt like the whole team was like that. But if you don't have the same person beside you the whole time, then your your chemistry, your creativity, it's harder to go because you don't always know where they're going to be, to connect those passes and to make those attempts. And I think what they have pulled off is varied. They have put into the attack some, some varied people and, and varied styles. And so we've had more almosts, but you can't count almost in anything. It's just that that's the hope that kills you, 1s because we've seen those almost just bits and bits and bits, but they don't. 1s Make a goal into the net. And that especially is true this game because we don't get very many shots on target. We don't get very many shots at all. And that stat is a little bit different than the last few games. Like I felt like we've had good shot attempts, but this time we just we don't because we're not connecting that final ball or we're not connecting it well, it's like partially off target. And some of those again, I feel like they probably landed pretty heavily on Patrick shoulders because he had some really daring opportunities. That one where he steals the ball away from the goalkeeper is just, you had your heart in your throat, like, and then he puts it on the netting because he just didn't slow down and really make it count. And that to me is just wisdom that will come with time. And in this case, we didn't put that chance away. There were a few other chances, not necessarily by him, but other people that we didn't put away. And it comes back to haunt us because then the momentum does shift eventually to New England. 1s So those finishing chances. 1s I just really think part of it does come down to chemistry and connectedness. And our frontline has changed. We've had to Varsha, we've had Gobbetti, we've had our field and Diarrhée and we've had Kerwin. Kerwin is like the only constant up front. He's struggling
Kara
9:19
and so he's not always connecting with the same people. And you've also Byrne came out this time and he's been driving a lot of those crosses into the box. And we had Lindsey do that this time. But he didn't get as many of those crosses into the box that you could expect. And he had Leal in front of him this time for about 60 minutes. And so it's Lille's first start for the Crown and Lindsay's as well. And so to me, some of that was them building that up. And then you also had on the other side you had Pat. But just because Pat's over there, it's still it's just shifted around so, so much. Even with Vargas in to be that constant, he does switch to the other side of the pitch. And so he's he's there. He's been getting a chances. He's been making great attempts. But again, nothing counts because it doesn't eventually go in. And that has to be just really frustrating and grating to the guys as well. As much as it or if not more for the fans, could be because, you know, they want to make these results. You know they want to. Make the fans proud and that they're not happy with their own play. And so really, you just have to hope that this loss right here. Drives them to better performance and better motivation in those finishing chances, just to get that little bit of extra over the line. Yeah, I
Bridget
10:49
don't it was just frustrating. It's frustrating to watch, but I bet it's frustrating to them to it's just like, you can. Announcer on TV, not Lloyd, but the other guy kept talking about their xG, which I don't really know what that means, but I think it's something to do with shots on goal or something, I don't know. That's what it sounds like to me, right?
Kara
11:08
It's the momentum created by expected goals.
Bridget
11:11
Yeah, that that's what you're talking about. And I guess the two like that had
Kara
11:14
two of the top people in the MLS last year was Vargas. And that not toe heel dude, nobody cares about him. First of all, I'm so tired hearing that dude's not Cho Hill name. And I eat nachos every game at home. So I was eating the heck out of some nachos and he ruined my entire meal 1s because of his name. But that's not very near there. But anyways. But they were saying that those two should have had the most goals and neither one of them were having goals at all. So they've been having tough, you know, whatever they said that basically Vargas is like when he does, he will get there and when he does like.
Bridget
11:51
He should have a lot of those. Whatever you're talking about. Eggs,
Kara
11:54
cheese. And he just didn't have it. So I'm hoping that it'll kick in sooner than later. But if he knows if he has that expectation for himself and he's not doing it, then that could be getting in his head and making it worse. Somebody said they might have the yips. Yeah, they could a little bit. To me, that's more like healthy shots. But we broke that streak, so hopefully that doesn't continue. But yeah, I can understand that 1s too. I also want to say we didn't have as much creativity this match, and whether that's because of who's on the pitch or because of the conditions on the pitch or something like I think some of the mis connected passes, the missed connections in general were probably due to the pouring down rain and puddles, where you couldn't always depend where the ball would be like. As a player, that's hard because you're trying to time your passes, your connectivity, and in some places there was puddles and in some places it was just faster through that part than you expected. And so you couldn't really depend on your timing as well from those conditions. But they're supposed to be able to play in that, right? Like you can't attribute everything to that. But I would say it probably took some time to adjust to. Yeah,
Bridget
13:17
we thought it was. And he said it. And I think that's a lie. I didn't have to say that. Like, you know, and I can't really blame it on the rain, but I blame it on
Kara
13:25
the rain.
Bridget
13:27
I just gotta keep harping if we didn't change the subject. Okay, so you
Kara
13:31
know
Bridget
13:32
who is your wrath?
Kara
13:34
My wrath is the fact that we keep getting goals in stoppage time, which is an unfortunate pattern, but we've really got to keep that mentality all the way through no matter what happens. And in this case, in the stoppage time, something. Just imagine that little emoji where your brain blows up. 1s That happens in this stoppage time because as we're making an attacking attempt, as Charlotte is making this attacking attempt coming down, the referee stops the play by blowing his whistle to give a yellow card to Carlos heel. Why? Because he's dissenting. He's arguing with the referee. He didn't get a call, so therefore he stops it for Charlotte. Why, why why would you do that? You are not allowed to stop play for that. Like there has to be a foul. You have to whistle for a foul to stop
Bridget
14:28
play. So he stopped the momentum
Kara
14:30
completely, but instead he blocks the attacking attempt. Yeah, he stopped the momentum. He disrupted our momentum. And then not one minute later, it's like half a minute. Yuri has the ball because we're we're once again restarting play. The referee doesn't blow that whistle for a foul on the air, which is from the back side. And so Jerry's down like on his stomach and arms were like, hello. And because the guy comes through the back of him and then that's when we go all the way down. We don't have Yuri, so we only have three defenders in the back end. The rest of the teams like, wait, what just happened? Because they were trying to attack, right? And then it leaves it open for Carlos Hill because Gary can't get back in time because he he was down on the ground getting that foul, like, hey, you should have called a foul. And so he was trying to commit to that. Now I don't think he's overly trying to say, oh, you know I dived I'm trying to milk it. But again that just one little brief blip catches everybody off guard. And unfortunately the ricochet. Now whether you can say that the back line should have trusted Colina to take that one on one and then the back line should have been able to clear it and cover Carlos heel for that ricochet. Maybe. Maybe you could argue that. I'm sure Colina had some words, didn't you? Point out that Kalinic when
Bridget
15:56
he was pestered, he was not happy? Um, yeah. He was not feisty. Colina
Kara
16:02
and I think that's that's I don't think it's
Bridget
16:05
Molina for that one. It's really tough. I mean, I might have did, I might have, did I, I can't even speak English. I'm out and dead in the moment. I might have, I might have in the moment. But in my career I'm not really going to blame 1s him this time.
Kara
16:20
Por Colina I also think that this wasn't the only problem the referee had because he didn't give multiple corners. But that's, as you said, neither here nor there, but still frustrating in the long scheme of things. And a handball. He didn't call that either. So I had problems with this guy. But
Bridget
16:38
you didn't like this timing.
Kara
16:40
Okay, 1s I did not I did not multiple things. But again, outcome is the outcome. You can't change it and I can harp on it because I'm over here as a fan. 1s Being that way. But does that make goals for us to win? No it doesn't.
Bridget
16:59
If we can't score, we're never going to win. We should have
Kara
17:01
finished our chances and then we wouldn't be harping about it, right?
Bridget
17:05
If we score goals, it wouldn't matter if I accidentally messed up. Yep. But we don't score goals. It doesn't matter. So you can't blame the goalie for losing the game when we're not scoring goals. Wait. Okay. Remind me of that next time I play. 4s Anyway, do you have any
Kara
17:23
more wrath? I don't have any more because I just go off. I think going into this next match against Toronto, we need to hold this really unfortunate result and play with more passion and heart for this next one, because it's just, oh yeah, we gotta do something different this week. Hopefully we will have Nathan back. I missed Nathan out there. Road runner it
Bridget
17:49
around on the field. Now that I do anything wrong. But, you know,
Kara
17:54
do you have any favours for this match? No
Bridget
17:57
question that stood out. My man is the game. Now. Let's see. I told you, I kind of bought this whole Darren game out of my head. I don't even remember some of the shoe colors. And you know how I am about that. I'm probably going to give another favor to Dion. I know I gave one last week and jabrill, but I feel like that dude is just steady. I don't know if whose job it is to make plays happen. I don't want to say it's bricks, but somebody in midfield has got to set these dudes up to make plays until they finish. It doesn't really matter what we're doing, but I don't feel like I think that Johnny is doing what he's supposed to do out there and he's not making mistakes. So if I had to give anybody a favor this week, it's going to be Djibril.
Kara
18:38
It's amazing how solid he's become. I feel like I'm probably going to be saying that every week, but maybe it'll be the one game we see him not play that we're like, oh man, we really missed him. But no, I think he's he's just become a solid player in the middle and in this match. I don't think he he shines as much as he has in past matches. But maybe that's just because of of the game we played overall. Um, I do think he had a lot of progressive passes. He had eight and he also was instrumental in, you know, some tackles that we needed and blocking some attempts by New England. And I had I had some other notes about Deion. That was one point where we were playing a lot of pinball this match, and I really felt like when that happens, I think Deion is one of the ones that kind of slows it down and steps in the middle. He was also instrumental in creating some spaces, like there were some spaces that he was in that was just way open. Now whether that is. New England or how we're playing. I just think his vision and his being able to protect the ball and deliver passes forward is instrumental because we we did not have that as much last season. And he's this is a lane. What aren't we at three matches in four maybe. Yeah
Bridget
20:02
if that's what I'm saying. Like instability. Yeah we lost but it wasn't an I feel like it wasn't at any of his. Right. So
Kara
20:10
he's been with us a month and every single time he is just consistent. That's a great quality to have. Our
Bridget
20:16
hall of consistency, our board of consistency,
Kara
20:21
the
Bridget
20:22
nights of consistent. Anyway. Okay, before I go crazy. So who is your favorite?
Kara
20:28
The one person who really stood out to me this match was the captain, Ashley Westwood. I thought for what was some really frustrating moments. He was really trying to rally the entire team. And then I also saw him playing it out in his actions in this match. I thought he was really a key driver of forward momentum for the crown. He created some big chances. He had some dribble attempts. Winning those in the ground. He had key passes. Just what didn't he do in some of those moments, and especially with, you know, Patrick Agyemang being understandably a little frustrated in those attempts, I think he was also trying to hold the team together a lot more this match. And that's what you really need in a captain.
Bridget
21:23
Captain Westwood, what did
Kara
21:25
you say? How many
Bridget
21:27
how many games do you do? You have to go before you get one of your yellow cards like wiped away
Kara
21:33
five? Okay, so we were like two down. Okay. So I like Ashley Perry because he's just a nice guy and he, uh, conversations with me, um, through them. So I like that about him. He truly does care about the team a lot, you know. And that's you can tell by the way he plays on the field. He leads by example. And we need that. We need a leader. I gave more time when he took over from Carroll but last year. But I think that was the best thing that could ever happen because he does lead the team and he shows them by example. And I didn't really see what all he does on the field a lot. But I've noticed lately that he's not a flashy person on the field, but he does move it around. He's controlling it. When it gets a little wonky out there, he tries to get it back and where it needs to be. Uh, if we can get him to shoot a little bit more, that'd be great.
Bridget
22:22
I like him a lot. I like him a lot. As our captain.
Kara
22:25
Yeah. We just need a little bit more people to take, to take on and really grab those chances, you know, like. Like he is trying to do, and I don't. I don't think he's the only one. Of course, I think Tavares is also inspirational in how he tries to create chances the same way. But you know, Westwood doesn't always attempt that. I think sometimes when he sees what other other players are doing, but when he sees something that he can exploit, he will try. And in this match it just really felt like, again, it was a game of individuals, not as a cohesive team, and he's trying to hold the team together to keep those connections, and it was a struggle to me like he had. He had to be exhausted after that. 2s I know when I'm trying to keep everything at home and we're playing yeah, zone defense with our children or something. It's, you know, that's not much different than a soccer pitch. How he doesn't play this cool. I'm sure he does a little bit, especially in the locker rooms and arms, but he's very supportive of people. I think he probably got into a little skirmish. He had its back. I love seeing that he's ready to go out there and fight for the team. But I also think that we do need to have someone to back him up some because it's just the beginning of the season and if he's playing 90 that hard all the time, then he's going to get worn out.
Bridget
23:49
You know, he's not a young sprite out there all the time. So we need to take it easy because we don't. With the last thing we want to do is just, you know,
Kara
23:56
get him injured. Yeah. And just think like I was looking at the statistics for like, what shots we actually had and we didn't have a lot of shots, to be fair. And I think if we counted the, the things that we had almost shots like if you could count a, well, you had a shot attempt, but you didn't come to it like you didn't make it there. If you counted those. I feel like Westwood would have more this match and Djibril as well. Yeah, but you can't. Oh, I don't know. Don't count. Do you have any other favors? I thought Lindsey played well this match. You know, he hasn't been playing, you know the last couple. And it's really tough to come in and fill in for Nathan Bern when Nathan has been so solid. And not only that, but Lindsey just kind of found out Thursday to Friday of the possibility. Like I think Friday it was confirmed Thursday it was a possibility waiting on, you know, what Friday morning said and you know, yes, he's been waiting for his attempt, but he hasn't had as many minutes. Like even Coach Dino has not been putting very many subs in. He's not been putting all five. So Lindsey hasn't seen very many minutes at all other than for a Crown legacy for a bit, and for him to come in and still be pretty solid. Yes he had I think he had a little bit to come up to the pace of the match, and I think there were times where we would expect Bern because he's like little, you know, Speedy Gonzalez right there. Run, run, run, run, run. I mean, that's not Lindsey's style of play like we do expect Lindsey to be a little more offensive. And because we know he's created actions in the past that have led to goals and delivered some great crosses, whereas Bern has really taken a lot of that on this season. That's typically how Lindsey plays, and I don't think he got as many attempts this time, partially because I think Leah was in front of him, but I thought he had he had a good match. I thought Adelson had some really key moments where he saved
Bridget
25:53
us,
Kara
25:54
like, like any match. But I thought he played
Bridget
25:56
well. Yeah, he did.
Kara
25:58
And the time where I was really frustrated at Gary because again, I saw the goal I missed that he got fouled until I rewatched it. I was like, where is he? He's usually so solid. And then yeah, he, he that wasn't his fault.
Bridget
26:14
A little lapse by.
Kara
26:15
Yeah. So I thought he had he had a good match to you. That's why
Bridget
26:19
it's hard because like.
Kara
26:21
In a way, we had to go. We think we did. Well, I mean, considering the elements. And it could have, I don't know. But there were the weather. There are the worst team in our conference. And so like, you're just like, we should have won that game.
Bridget
26:34
When you say you should have one, we don't mean that we should have one because of the performance. So we actually played. But we should have won because we know that we had it in us. We just didn't
Kara
26:44
execute.
Bridget
26:46
I think that's what's so upsetting, is that we know we have better potential than what we did. Right. And I think, too, that Nathan Berg being out meant that our backline change and our backline has been really solid. For whatever reason, I think Nathan does really bring a lot to that backline. And so yeah, he probably hasn't. He hasn't been there alone as much. You know, Bern has been with us for longer, consistently week
Kara
27:14
to week last season especially, and Gary just hasn't had enough time to build that up. I think we're missing some of
Bridget
27:21
that. They didn't have their counterpart unbalanced. Yeah. Now that Lindsey can just he's not used to that. And Lindsey does play a totally different style game than Nathan does. Well.
Kara
27:31
And not only that, but I think you have to give Lindsey some time to be 100% like everyone else got the chance to be like 80%. You're getting there, you're doing okay, but you're not like at 100 core. And you just have to give Lindsey some time to get there.
Bridget
27:47
He's such a sweet guy. Then again, you could also give, give. You know, I think Lyles in that same boat and Patrick for being so young as well. But I think Kerwin is the one we really really really need to turn that on and make those things connect. He's got so so so much potential and and
Kara
28:07
and and so
Bridget
28:08
they are sounding like he's the both of them are just do for it. And each week to week to week.
Kara
28:16
Yeah. The fact that it's not just
Bridget
28:18
gotta do something and just gotta do something. Come on, bro, you gotta do something. I'm pulling for you to be that DP that we all wish you could be.
Kara
28:27
Yeah, and he didn't. He didn't get much time to snatch. He did make some a good attempt at you know when he does come in I thought him and Scott Arfield and Tomasz they I thought they all played well for coming in. They certainly changed momentum and the Crown was definitely favored after they came in. I don't think New England really gets much back after that point. I think it's all on Charlotte. Yeah. And you know Enzo, for the little time he played he was making chances. He had a chance. Missed himself like
Bridget
29:01
yeah but he missed like an easy on
Kara
29:03
anything with Arfield. Both of them really took the opportunity to really try and make something happen. And really that's all you can tell. He has
Bridget
29:10
made a lot of money. He's our DP. We need him to step it up.
Kara
29:14
And maybe that's the thing next time. Maybe it won't be Patrick next game. Maybe it'll be Enzo because of any thought of Patrick. It's just I feel like he's had a lot of pressure put on him, and I think it's time that Dean is going to step back. Enzo, try to shine and see what.
Bridget
29:30
The ends I try to do and I need to do. We pay $2 million. Yeah, I agree with

that. I don't want to put extra pressure on Patrick in the same way. Right. I think he'll be putting it on himself, and we just need him to be mentally sound so that whenever he does get more opportunities to just land them right, let Enzo start when he don't work it out. Or if he does, then we call Patrick in and then let Patrick build his confidence back up. That's all we need. Money. Leo while Leo

to do this thing too, but it'll take him a couple of weeks. I have a feeling.
Kara
30:02
So yeah, my next game we play Toronto. Don't like Toronto, don't like the Canadian teams at all, but
Bridget
30:10
we're at home, so that bodes well for us at least.
Kara
30:13
Yeah. And you have to hope that everyone remembers that there is the Minty cape giveaway this weekend. Oh, I
Bridget
30:22
do not remember that. So ooh,
Kara
30:24
I can't wait to see that. Nice. And they eat. And cute especially really nice weather to.
Bridget
30:30
It's not supposed to be stupid.
Kara
30:31
I really hope so. It's been
Bridget
30:33
beautiful and I don't want to be stupid. Wendy again. We'll
Kara
30:37
try to have a good team. I think we can beat Toronto. Toronto's got that. Oh,
Bridget
30:43
Shawn Johnson plays for them, don't they?
Kara
30:45
Yeah. Anyways, I think we can beat them. And I think that we can. I think that the guys are gonna go out there with something to prove this weekend. Like to themselves. I think they're going to go out there and be like, let's show
Bridget
30:57
our fans that we can do it, but let's show ourselves that we can do it. So I'm hoping we get to win this again.
Kara
31:03
Sure. Well, and one of the good things is that, um, insignia has been is out. Yeah. So I say 1s again, not trying to say it's good that he's injured, but it's good that he's gone. We don't have him to deal with, you know, because we haven't done so well against Toronto in general.
Bridget
31:23
Yeah. I can't even say it. That's good that he's not there.
Kara
31:26
Um, he's the one who got the goal in us right? The last match.
Bridget
31:31
That miracle go. That miracle that maybe
Kara
31:35
we can be a little more offensive. You know, it was surprising, though. Like the last match Toronto had wasn't that great. And they lost 4 to 0 to the to Vancouver.
Bridget
31:46
Oh nice. So they're going to come out of London to show something to
Kara
31:50
pull probably. But they also had a crazy crazy match. So um, there's a lot of yellow cards in that match to our
Bridget
31:58
minds we love. Yeah.
Kara
32:00
So maybe they were playing extra, extra aggressive.
Bridget
32:02
Yeah. I think the Canadian teams play each other really aggressive from what I've heard,
Kara
32:06
but it'll be one to watch. So hope you have a good rest of the week everyone. Thank you for listening.
Bridget
32:12
Until next time, maybe our next, maybe our next podcast will be a little more cheery.
Kara
32:16
Yeah, we're just trying to summon all the energy we can right now, and it's just failing. So how can we? Thank you. Bye bye.
