"I don't know. I don't know if he's ready to go. Then an international coach, do you think it fits his stuff? What are his club titles? No, he's got no time. But he's got much more experience there, at least there's more data to evaluate. So he's got no club titles, but he's got more international experience. More data. I don't know how it attractive he'd be for other for other entities like a Bundesliga or an era de vizier or premiere, whatever you want to whatever the case may be. What I can tell you is pretty evident that Greg burr halter may be very keen on this. He bent over backwards during the World Cup qualifying process to a lot of these European clubs. When the sporting director of wilsberg spoke out against John Anthony Brooks, he took him for his work. When Gio reyna was heard at Dortmund and they didn't want him to play much, he did the same thing. When Thomas Tuchel was worried about Christian political participation with the U.S. miss Nash team, there goes Greg berhalter again, bendy over backwards for these clubs. He's obviously tried to maintain and nourish these relationships. For what? Well, if you're angling at a job, there it is. Okay, so what are the kind of things that was said at the very beginning of berhalter's tenure? Actually, Carlos Cordero was still in charge. He talked about the style that Greg berhalter would bring to this team. And I think beyond that, there was this idea that Greg berhalter and this young group of players could change the way that the world views American soccer. I want to get Jeff's opinion on that. I want to get hurt your opinion on that. But first of all, let's hear an exchange with Virgil van DIJK from his press conference earlier today with a journalist that might just kind of inform us on what the rest of the world thinks. The 5th game in the World Cup Netherlands he played with the strong team with the Argentina. What do you think about this game? Because before we play, the team is not strong enough. Yes.

"But obviously he learned a ton in that experience and so I think the point is that Greg Bert knows what he's getting into and it's very much kind of on his bucket list to get back to Europe. So again, we'll see what jobs open up. We'll see how long he's willing to wait. And then he can take it from there. That assuming that he decides that he does not want to continue with the USSF. So there's some things in motion here. There's some moving pieces. And again, we'll just have to wait and see how it shakes up. What do you think? Is he ready for a European coaching gig hurk? Sure. It's a wide net. I don't know. I don't know if he's ready to go. Then an international coach, do you think it fits his stuff? What are his club titles? No, he's got no time. But he's got much more experience there, at least there's more data to evaluate. So he's got no club titles, but he's got more international experience. More data.

"Know a little bit about south soccer's run in the United States can understand. The way that Major League Soccer and soccer united marketing for a long time had a stranglehold on the U.S. soccer federation and really controlled what the federation did. Televisa has that on the Mexican football federation. I don't think that's healthy. Now, something that's happened in the last couple years with U.S. soccer is there appears to be the beginnings of a decoupling from U.S. soccer and soccer united marketing slash MLS, not that they won't work together, but that literally soccer united marketing will not be paying the federations bills, right? Because I think that's when you create a power imbalance. That needs to happen in Mexican soccer. I know that that's not likely to happen. But when the television companies to your point are influencing and in many ways running the federation, of course the bottom line is going to be the most important. Of course, sporting is not going to be the most important. However, something that's important to point out here is that sporting does impact your bottom line. If you make a deep run in the World Cup, you make more money, not just directly from FIFA, but sponsorships become more valuable. Everything becomes more valuable. So to say, well, oh, we failed, but we've done well financially. No, no, no. You could have done better financially. So you expect them to quit. I don't expect him to quit. I don't expect them. Can I draw another parallel here to U.S. soccer? So let's go back to when the U.S. fails to qualify in 2018. Sunil gulati, who was the then president and been in charge for 12 years up until that point. Didn't quit right away, right? There is, however, a group of people that decide, I'm going to run for president. It becomes this hugely contested thing. There seems to be a gulati out movement, right? And he steps away. This is his group would lose power. Right. So sunil galadi, who as we know from the Yates report, found out about Paul Riley in 2014, didn't do anything about it. So this is not somebody that has a track record of doing the right thing. But he did the right thing there. He stepped away for his group. But he stepped away. Correct. Right? He said, I'm not the guy for this job anymore. It's whatever it is. I'm not the guy for it. Yonder Luisa needs to see that. He needs to see that he personally, whether he's whether the next guy's going to be at the televised guy or not, whatever. Yon de Luisa has failed. I don't know how he can continue and feel he has any mandate. Anyway, if they say you're gone, he will happily say no problem. I do what you tell me to do. I'm at your Beck and call. He is a puppet. He will leave. That's not the issue here. It's getting things to change. You talk about that. There's some democracy there, right? What you're talking about with U.S. soccer so Neil galadi, the people who ran, there's some democracy. There's some transparency there. There's no transparency here. There is no promotion relegation because there's a select group of owners that would like to keep it a select group of owners. They want that NFL model. They don't want new voices. They don't want new money. They don't want any type of wrinkle that could in some way jeopardize what they've got going on. And there are a few owners that would love to change things. But those owners, unfortunately, are also part of the problem. With the owners be smart here to get rid of him and install, as you say, the next puppet, because of course, leave him a target. It's a target, right? Of course. So you think he'll be gone? Do you think they'll kind of use him as the sacrificial lamb? Of course they will. And the lease is not going to care. He was part of the 2026 bid. Just like sunil galati didn't carry he was part of the 2026 bid. They don't care. Yeah. Carlos Cordero was more than 2026 Bitcoin. Who was next to Bill Clinton? Let me ask you this though. When they didn't get the World Cup. Okay, but different. No, no, no. He's still there. He's 29 involved in the U.S. anymore. Sunil's involvement in U.S. soccer. If you want to speak on it, you can. The exact details of that. I don't personally know. I have some ideas, but I'm not going to speak out of turn. I think Carlos Cordero is definitely the guy who was front and center in 2026. That is the truth. I was there in Russia. I was in the meeting. Go to go to yandere he is still currently one of the bid directors for 2026. He's also on the right, but he's also on the FIFA council. I think those positions could save him or at least help save him. Positions. And that's fine. But what I'm trying to tell you is whether he's there or not, it makes zero difference to what they want to achieve, which everybody knows is the bottom dollar. Yeah. All right, so why don't we take a look at a graphics representation of just how bad things have been under yon de Luisa. Oh, sorry, we

"Huge because it takes so much of that tension away. When you look back at your fight and the times that you had to convince them, hey, we think we could fill a much bigger stadium. Hey, we think we could do a bunch of friendlies after our big win around the country. Would you support us in that? I think if I remember, you have a pretty good anecdote about you striking out on your own and then them coming back saying, wait, actually, can we be in on this? 'cause you're making a lot of money. Yeah, that's why they actually do that victory tour post world cups. The players are like, why do we have to play these ten games post world cups? I'm like, oh, that kind of goes back to our era because they weren't doing anything. And so we made them do ten. Has been long history of the women playing in venues that weren't up to par or on fields that weren't up to par and we go back to that one friendly, I forget what year it was, but it was the last decade where they were told to play on turf and they refused to go play and in Hawaii. Because the turf was so bad. And so this has been an issue for a very long time. And so all these things that we've talked about and honestly, some of the older bags, as we call ourselves on the team, we'd be like, are we still finding this? We'd say that back a really exact director. One, we're still fighting this. And so these things that we've been fighting for decades are formalized in this agreement as being equal as well. Because it goes down through that laundry list as title 9 does as well. Going back to uniforms and equipment and staffing and marketing and all those things that sometimes people forget about the details of why it matters because if you're not investing in watering the garden, it's not going to bloom. So you were engaging with Billie Jean King, all those years ago about the things that needed to be done back when you were playing that eventually led to the boon of the 90 niners, which blew up soccer for women in the United States. But that was a long time ago now. Why do you think, in addition to the work every single day that has happened since then, why do you think this was the moment for this finally to come together? I don't think it came down to one person. But I think this moment happens because you have a woman who's a president and who is a past player and Cindy parlo cone. And she will be the first to say, I am not taking credit for this. This is a team effort to get this over the line. But this happens because you have a woman in that position who gets it. And who said to both teams, you need to sit down and sit in a room together and figure this out. And we are only creating a CBA and signing a CBA that truly is equal. She also had the guts to go back to Mark and say, hey, no, this isn't good enough. We need to get to equal. So what you're saying is the previous president Carlos Cordero who under his watch the literal legal filing said women are inherently inferior due to skeletal structure and lung capacity and therefore the work they're doing is not equal to the work of men. So you don't think it would have happened under his watch. Probably not. Probably not. Okay, good to know. Let's talk about that 90s team. And I think about NIL sometimes and the players who just graduated a couple of years ago who would have been making bank. And whether they think, how great for my counterparts coming up along behind me or gosh darn it. Now, now this is happening. Is there any is it bittersweet at all to see this happen now and know that you had to fight your whole career forward and now others will benefit, but you guys didn't. No, it's not bittersweet. I think the bittersweet is just in how long you had to fight for it. But no, we were, I mean, the 90 niners text thread that was happening on that day. First, of course, when the lawsuit was settled, contingent upon the CBA being signed. But when the actual details of the collective bargaining agreement were inked and out and send these like yes, it is done. It is officially done. I mean, there was complete joy within that group. And a lot of swearing of FES effing finally, but we take great pride that we were rattling the cage way back when, but also some frustration that it took, you know, passing the baton to Abby, who then passed it on to Rapinoe, who passed it on to Morgan to Carly. I mean, it's just it keeps going on. So to finally get it over the line, I think there was great relief in that. So I have to ask on that text thread with all those great players from the 90 niners. How often do we celebrate something with a GIF of Brandi Chastain taking her shirt off? That's got to be the go to. We actually don't, but we're going to go. That seems like a no brainer to me. What does this mean long term for the next CBA for the U.S. and maybe for the world? This crosses over to so many different silos as we know. In this equal pay argument is not one that is inherent with just female athletes. It's societal. And the goal in all of this has been much bigger than just equal pay for this set of players or this set of women's soccer players. And so I know without a doubt that that is in the minds of so many of these women's players and why they celebrate this, not because this next generation of players, women's soccer players is going to make that much of a money, but because it's going to inspire a whole new generation of women.

"Yesterday, she was saying she wasn't going to hand out any gold stars for the federation finally doing the right thing. And so I think there are still some wounds that need to heal. I think there's some hurt feelings that need to be addressed. But I think that the federation and in particular Cindy parlo cone, the USSF president, can rightfully say, hey, we're back at the forefront of equality, gender equality. And Cindy parlor Cohen spoke of trying to spread this movement to other federations around the world. I think that's going to be slow going. Conan admitted that admitted to that as much. You know, it certainly in her conversations with Victor montagliani of Concacaf for Gianni infantino and FIFA. She mentioned that the progress is going to be slow. But certainly this provides, I think, some critical momentum for guiding other federations and how they want to approach things. But certainly the breadth of this deal and you think about the different revenue streams that we're all made equal, whether it was the World Cup bonuses, the per game bonuses, the commercial revenue sharing, all of that is really impressive in terms of just how many different revenue streams were actually made equal. Jeff, I'm glad you brought up Cindy parlor Cohen on this subject right now. What was turtle? I mean, X women's national team player, first player since the 80s turned president within the federation, certainly she had a role going forward in this what was it? Well, I think she just helped bring a different kind of tone to the negotiations. I mean, when Carlos Cordero was elected USSF president, you know, he did promise that he was going to address the equal pay issue. But I think the fact that, like you said, Cindy Paul O'Connell is a former women's national team player. I just think that brings a certain level of credibility and increases the level of trust.

"Swim mobile to find the one that's right for you. The U.S. women's soccer team has signed a historic equal pay agreement. Here's how it happened. By Sean Gregory. The chance followed the U.S. women's national soccer team everywhere they went that summer three years ago, from the World Cup stadium and Lyon France, where the team won its second straight title, to the streets of New York City, where the players were feted with a ticker tape parade. Equal pay, equal pay. Earlier in 2019, the U.S. women had filed a gender equity suit against their own employer. Millions rallied around their cause, but they faced a federation determined to keep the status quo, and courts can be a formidable foe. Equal pay equal pay. On Wednesday they finally got their wish, and a momentous announcement, the United States soccer federation, the United States women's national team Players Association, and the United States national soccer team Players Association announced that they had agreed to first of their kind collective bargaining agreements or CBAs, creating true pay equity in the sport. Appearance fees and bonuses will be equalized across teams. For example, a player who participates in an international exhibition match or friendly against a team ranked in the FIFA top 25 will receive an $8000 appearance fee and a $10,000 bonus for a victory. U.S. soccer will share a portion of its broadcast apparel and sponsorship revenue with the players. That pot will be divided equally between the teams. From January 1st, 2023, through December 31st, 2026, $5 and 6 cents per every ticket sold at U.S. soccer controlled home games will go to the players. Most notably, the men's and women's team will split FIFA World Cup prize money equally, becoming the first national teams to do so anywhere in the world. Soccer's world governing body has notoriously awarded disparate amounts to men and women. FIFA set aside $400 million in total prize money for the 2018 men's World Cup, including $38 million to champion side France. For the entire 2019 women's tournament, on the other hand, just $30 million was set aside, and only $4 million went to the winning United States team. FIFA has increased the total to $440 million for the 2022 men's World Cup. Its president Johnny infantino has proposed FIFA double the women's prize money to $60 million for the 2023 Women's World Cup. The United States, however, will pool the total prize money one by the U.S. teams in the 2022 World Cup, and the 2023 world cups, and pass 90% of the funds onto the players to be split evenly among the men's and women's players. The CBA's call for a similar structure in the 2026 and 2027 world cups with 80% of the money to be shared evenly among men's and women's players. The agreements also require U.S. soccer to provide an equal number of charter flights to both teams and an equal quality of venues and field playing surfaces to the men's and women's teams. These deals would seem to conclude 6 years of contention between the U.S. women's team and U.S. soccer. In 2016, 5 players first filed a wage discrimination claim with the equal opportunity employment commission. Their fight had fits and starts, and March 2020, for example, a U.S. soccer court filing seemed to demean female players, saying that indisputable science proved that the female players were inferior to man. U.S. soccer president Carlos Cordero resigned in the fallout. In April 2020, a judge ruled against the women in the equal pay suit, but new U.S. soccer president Cindy parlo cone, a two time Olympic gold medalist and member of the 1999 World Cup winning U.S. women's soccer team, signaled that the organization was willing to negotiate going forward. The timing worked out. Cone, a woman with deep ties to the U.S. team was now in charge, and the women's CBA was expiring at the end of 2021. The men's side was still seeking a new agreement. It had expired at the end of 2018. These circumstances gave all parties incentive to sit down together last fall. For me, the turning point was when we actually got everyone in the same room together. That was the first time that I really thought we could do this because that in itself was historic. We saw that there was not going to be a way forward without the equalization of World Cup prize money, says walker Zimmerman, a U.S. men's national team member who also plays for Nashville SC of Major League Soccer. There was a potential chance of making less money, no doubt about it, says Zimmerman. But we also believe so much in the women's team. We believe in equal pay. And ultimately, that was a big driving force for us to do something no other team had done before. Still, Zimmerman acknowledges that the men had difficult talks that they really want to sacrifice the opportunity to pocket World Cup prize money they earned, the hardest thing was probably the conversations about, okay, if anyone is going to do it, we have to be the group to do it. Says Zimmerman. Because it's so much easier in theory when you aren't the ones on the team actually giving up something that you already expected to get. Sure, the higher salaries that men can earn playing for their pro club teams help offset any World Cup losses, but they could have still held out on equality. This advancement doesn't happen without the men championing this, says cone, I don't want that to be understated because they were true champions of this and worked through this because it's not easy to give up the money that they're giving up. The deals may certainly set a new standard as national teams around the world and across sports, negotiate for equal pay. Well, say, NBA players set aside some portion of revenues to share with their lower paid counterparts in the WNBA, this suggestion seemed almost laughable before Wednesday. Now, it at least seems plausible. I don't know that we know the full ramifications of this, and soccer, other sports, and society, says cone. I don't think we'll fully know that for ten, 15 years. But there is one thing we know right now. Female athletes have more reason for optimism..

"If not the only organizations in the world that can deliver men's professional and women's professional football and what differentiators is you have a league office with a hundred people and work across both men's and women's football and work collaboratively hand in hand. We have an ecosystem with a load of clubs, great experience and they're going to bring the Super League into their into their organizations with build 33 football specific stadiums and more coming for the Super League teams to play inside as well. And underpinning all of that is the infrastructure with the W league, which kicks off this year, which is an elite pre professional league. You'll see the best and brightest collegiate players in the W league. We've got 43 clubs debuting in that league this season. And depending on that, we've got the USL academy and yourself girls academy program as well. So with all of that infrastructure in place, the guiding principle, of course, for the USL as we go through this is to make sure we can provide men's and women's football on the same footing. This past week in the U.S. soccer presidential elections took place, Cindy parlor Cohen beat Carlos Cordero, very tight election. I'm wondering what you made of it, Jake. Well, we congratulate Cindy on her wig and I think she's led the organization through some very turbulent times difficult moment for a leader over the last few years. And so she's come through that and now she has a runway ahead with some very exciting projects, not least the 2026 World Cup, which will be emotional for the sport and so we're really.

"Two significant wins that Cindy parler can have. Now, whether that's enough to make anybody change their vote, I think that still remains to be seen, but Sydney parler cones all about looking forward and talking about, hey, you know, what a good job she did during a pandemic and trying to basically manage the federation's finance and carrying a very difficult period. Calls Cordero saying, hey, this World Cup in May 26th, this opportunity being squandered so that's what we're running a game. I'll tell you one of the differences. Cindy parlor cone will do interviews. Carlos Cordero won't. He did a Q&A with Jeff. He never responded to our request to come on football America as you saw from one of our colleagues grant wall also tried to reach out to him, couldn't get him on the record, same for our good friends, total soccer show. There's a lot of people that Carlos Cordero is turning down the talk. I don't know if you can want to be president of something when you want to hide in the shadows. All right, let's get down to brass tacks. You and I were in Orlando. Jeff, for the last one of these. And I think we did a podcast just before and you might have gotten it right. I definitely got wrong who I thought was going to win. Who do you think is going to win this time around? Oh, I mean, everybody I've talked to, you know, that I've said, hey, how do you handicap this election? All anyone will say is that it's going to be close. You know, I think Cordero's got like a built in 36, 40% of the vote constituency there. And so I think a lot of it's going to depend on the athletes council. I think Cindy Paulo cone will probably just shade it, but I mean, this is one of those proverbial elections that can go either way. And I mean, it's going to be fascinating to see how people line up and what candidate they line up behind. But again, we'll know more on Saturday. And it's going to be, especially of Cordero wins. I mean, if he comes back into office, it's going to be interesting to see how sponsors react. It's going to be interesting to see how the women's national team reacts. I mean, they have this settlement, but certainly at least in their public comments, they don't have too many good things to say about Carlos Cordero. All eyes then on Atlanta this weekend as we get to find out who will be the next president of U.S. soccer. There he is, Jeff Carlisle, check out his work.

"Agreement that they thought they had. The men's union had agreed with will Wilson on a particular deal. And then when it was presented to the board of directors, the board of directors said no. We're not going to agree to this deal, and that's created a little bit of ill will on the men's side. So ultimately, I don't think the sticking point is going to be sharing the World Cup revenue, but it's going to be, you know, can the men agree to these terms that they thought they had last summer. So that's a little bit of a tricky dynamic, I think. And again, we'll see what gets agreed to, but the women's deal, as well as the men's deal. Jeff, what's taken so long, you said that last June they agreed and they thought they had something in hand. What's taking so long? Well, I mean, the deal got pulled off the table. And that left a lot of bitterness and a lot of unhappiness on the part of the men's union. Again, the union leadership agree to deal or thought they had agreed to deal with will Wilson. They thought that he was going to be the decision to make her that was going to agree to this particular deal. But then when it got presented to the board of directors, they said no. So I think there's a little bit of confusion and a lack of trust I would say on the men's side, just in terms of, well, if we agree to a deal again, who's to say that the board isn't going to turn their backs on that deal as well. So I think there's been a real breakdown in trust. There was talk of them going on strike. Obviously that didn't happen, but that was a real setback in terms of the men's CBA. And obviously, that's had a little bit of a cascade effect in terms of the women's CBA and trying to come to some kind of agreement on these World Cup bonuses. Jeff, let's get into this presidential election. We got the incumbent Cindy parlow cone and the person that she replaced. Carlos Cordero going head head as you mentioned at this coming Saturday at the AGM for U.S. soccer down in Atlanta. Let's start with a very basic question about this election because I don't feel like a lot of people know this. Who actually votes and where is the power kind of the deciding power and all this concentrate? Because we keep hearing a lot about the athletes council. Yeah, there's four main constituencies. There's the youth state associations. There's the adult amateur state associations. There's what's called the pro council, which includes NWSL, USL, MLS, and then there's the athletes council. And there was some legislation passed the congressional level last year that required the athletes to have one third of the vote in any kind of National Council or on the board of directors. And so some changes have been made in terms of the voting structure and the makeup of the board of directors in the USSF to make sure they abide by that particular legislation. That particular law that's now been passed. So right now, the bulk of the power lies with the athletes council. Again, that's 33 and a third percent of the weighted vote that they're going to be able to wield. In the past, the athletes council has tended to vote as a block where they decide this is the candidate we're going to get behind, you know, this is the person that we're going to throw our lot in with in four years ago, that was Carlos Cordero. But a year ago in the vice presidential election, that was the first sign that maybe the athletes council wasn't going to vote as a block going forward. They didn't on that hearing is that. It's not going to be entirely as a block this time. There have been some public statements from Danielle slate from Lori Lindsay, saying they're backing Cindy parlo cone, but whether the rest of the athletes council is going to fall in line with that or agree with that. That still remains to be seen. I'm told that there's some meetings taking place later this week to try to hash that out and see if they are going to vote as a block or if they're going to allow people to kind of go their separate ways. Jeff, you're one of the few reporters who has actually been able to make contact with both candidates. What are the few of the key differences between both? I'm sorry I didn't catch that. I said, you're one of the few reporters who's actually been able to make contact with both candidates. What are the few key differences between the both between both candidates, excuse me? Well, if you talk to Carl's Cordero, you know, he's basically saying, hey, the grassroots people at the state associations for both the adult.
The Lead

"Doing anything other than going to a courtroom in March. Well, as you just mentioned, this whole thing is contingent on the two sides, along with the men's team, agreeing to a new collective bargaining agreement. Where do things stand on that front as of now? Yeah, I mean, I think so currently the U.S. soccer and the union have an agreement of they extended the no strike no lockout clause through the end of March. So they do technically have that as a new deadline on the U.S. women's national team side. The men's national team have just been operating under a collective bargaining agreement that expired years ago. So they have been kind of content to let that go. There have been adjustments on that front. But yes, in theory, U.S. soccer wants to handle both of these CBAs at the same time because essentially they're going to get pulled onto the same structure. But what has been very, very reassuring is a, the improved relationship that we have already seen between the players and current U.S. soccer president, Cindy parlo cone, and their ability to get this settlement across the line after essentially two years of a lawsuit and be the other part of this too is that I don't think that they announced this without feeling very confident that the collective bargaining agreement is happening. And the part of what is still kind of to be done there is equal pay when it comes to fee for all cups. And this has been the issue all along. FIFA distributes prize money for the men's and women's world cups. The numbers are very, very different. U.S. soccer is the one that's technically in charge of dispersing it. How do you figure out how to make that equal? And so that's still the issue that does actually need to be solved, but there is a promise on the table from U.S. soccer that equal pay will be achieved, not just for friendlies and other matches, but for the World Cup. I do think, again, both sides have seemed pretty consistent that everything is trending in the right direction when it comes to CBA negotiations. They have had 35 sessions probably more at this point. The players are engaged. They're showing up to these zooms. So things are in the works, but there is a deadline on it. And the background of this too is that there is the election process happening for U.S. soccer, Cindy parlo cone is up for reelection against the person whose job she took over, Carlos Cordero, who had to resign after a highly offensive legal strategy became public in 2020. So there's a lot of factors happening here, but generally the mood is pretty positive. Finally, Meg, as someone who has followed this case closely for years, how do you see the rest of the situation playing out? Are we near the end of this dispute at this point? Or is there a real danger that the CBA negotiations could send this back to the courts? I think we are really starting to get close to the end, right? The CVA is a huge thing and it needs to happen. But generally, a lot of people are really waiting for that turning point of can the two sides come together and talk. And that's been such a huge messaging of finally they really started to talk to each other. And yes, there had to be some sort of settlement you had to kind of shake hands and say, okay, we're going to finally do this. And what was so interesting too is that for so long the lawsuit has been so backwards facing past facing the CBA is future facing. And now these two things are also tied together in a way that they never were before. The players were the only common thread between the lawsuit and the Players Association. Two very distinct processes. And now they hinge upon each other. So I do think generally we have hit that turning point because now they are willing to say, we feel that we have achieved something on what we felt or passed around and now we can work together and negotiate on what the future looks like on what equal pay looks like. And we will do this together with Cindy parlo cone as our president, and that's a really big step for both sides. Well, thank you so much, Meg for breaking this all down, really looking forward to seeing how Katarina macario plays in these future years and also how the CBA negotiations end up. Thank you.

"The men have. And so the women are still saying that they do want some of those protections, and that's one of the negotiating areas. I think that sticking right now is how much do they want to deviate from those guaranteed contracts? I think we're at a point now with women making more professionally with their clubs that they have more security they can do that. But there were a lot of nice things in there that I mean, for example, during COVID, when there were no games being played, the women were still guaranteed their salaries because of the contract. Obviously that's going to shift a little bit. And they're going to have to give up some of those guarantees if they want some of the bounce. They're going to get from perhaps FIFA bonuses and other bonuses that the men get. March 31st, then I believe the end of the current CBA will be keeping an eye on it. Let's turn our attention to some brilliant Julie if not kind of tragic reporting again from Molly Hensley clancy of The Washington Post. It was her November. You'll remember the report of the allegations of emotional and verbal abuse against Chicago red star's head coach, Rory dames, the post has now uncovered a 1998 police report alleging sexual abuse of youth players dames was coaching at that time. His lawyer has refused to make Danes available for interview, but did deny the allegations we should note that there was Julie a lot to unpack in this report. What stood out to you? The ongoing nature of this, how it just keeps happening. And it keeps revealing itself as in the same coach and nothing was done about it and so we look again in another situation where it should have been dealt with ten, 20 years ago in the abuses continued and allowed to continue. And I think thank goodness for Molly, Hensley clancy and Meg Lena hart and their ability to tell these stories and to be there for these players because it's so important. But again, it's so frustrating because society and adults in the room are allowing this to continue to happen. And that's the frustrating thing. I think that saddened so many. You know, after this report came out, 9 of the biggest U.S. women's national team players came out and open letter to Carlos Cordero, city parlo cone, where they were addressing the willful inaction of USF leadership. Both of those people I just mentioned are actually going to run for USF president in the upcoming election. How do you think that will impact the election? Well, the interesting thing herc is this report was filed in this complaint by Kristen press two U.S. soccer in 2018 and who was president at that time. Carlos Cordero, he claims he didn't know anything about the investigation, but my understanding is every investigation that goes through U.S. soccer has to get cleared by the president because it costs money. It has to get approval by the president. How he doesn't know about this investigation and why they didn't take action with the investigation. And he was allowed to continue to coach again, we go back to this the cycle just continues because no one takes action. So those are things that I think Carlos Cordero is going to have to answer. This is in 2018. Cindy came in 2019, so I think there's going to be some transparency needed on U.S. soccer's part as to what happened with that investigation. Why was there no action taken on Rory dames? Why was he allowed to continue? And what did Carlos know about it? If he says he didn't know about it because my understanding, as I said, is a president has to approve the investigation happening in the first place. One thing about the report from Molly Hensley clancy that just jumped off the pages to me is the depth of the police investigation back in the late 90s. They talked to a 150 hundreds. There was a lot in that report and yet still, nothing was done very, very sad. Let's move on to soccer. Unfortunately, the women's game, we spent so much time talking about off the field stuff. Dude,.

"This is something that correct me quite wrong. I think you've been a proponent of in the past. So what's your reaction to this news? Well, U.S. soccer is making it very clear in Cindy parlor co and the president put out a letter saying such that look, this is our path forward is we are going with equal contracts and that includes FIFA World Cup prize money. They do not want to do a negotiation or CBA that doesn't include that. And they've made that very clear for months now. She also put in there a little jab at the men's team of, hey, and we need you all, as you said, you want this. You're all for equal pay. Then get to the table and make it happen. Meaning she wants players to be part of that process. And from my understanding, there hasn't been a ton of engagement on the men's side in terms of player involvement. And I think that's going to be the sticking point, obviously, is that chunk of FIFA money? I have made the argument that yes, of course, for the men's teams, because FIFA argues that, yes, the men's world cups and events bring in more money. They're going to give more to the men. The women argue, listen, because a systemic discrimination, it's not our fault that you haven't been promoting the women's side of the game for decades and decades had you been we'd be making more money. You could also argue that the U.S. women's team brings in more on the sponsorship side because of their popularity and their success at the international level. So I think if you put it all into the pot split it evenly. And you can get both. That's the challenge. Both teams at the table. And that's what they're saying. They want to get there. I think that's going to be the path forward. And the U.S. soccer is saying that will only be the past four. They do not want to sign a contract that's not equal. Well, they say equal, but cynical and also said, equal pay doesn't mean equal. So there's a big difference there that could be a percentage of which from my understanding the women do not want. And also, by the way, the men haven't had an active CVA since 2018. They've been practicing plane working without a CBA since 2018. So there are a lot of there are a lot of different things going on right now at the helm of these discussions. But the most important thing is, U.S. soccer is taking everything out of their own hands and putting in to the player's hands. You and the men, the women and the men figure it out, type of deal, which is almost a tricky place to be on if you're on either side of the table. I think you're right. It is a tricky place to be at. But I think that there is a solution forward. And I just think that finally they need to go to a place where everyone's supporting the other team. If the men does well, do well, the women do well. If the women do well, the men share in that. And we can go as we've talked about for so long one nation one team, which really hasn't been. There's been a lot of infighting in that. Then this is the solution forward. And I hope the players can help them get there. Julie, one more thing on the federation docket. We've got the presidential elections coming up. We've been talking about it a lot on this show. I have to get your opinion here because you were on the air with me in the she believes cup at the beginning of 2020 when I had to read that statement from Carlos Cordero and what 24 48 hours later he resigned as president of U.S. soccer. I wonder what you make of Cordero now entering the race for this year's presidency. Yeah, sevi, I was shocked, honestly. I mean, he resigned on embarrassing terms in terms of he says, look, I didn't know that U.S. soccer was going to use that language in the lawsuit in apologize for it. Had I seen it? And look, this is argument that had been made for months in deposition. So I think I said it that night on air. I don't buy that. Because they were well aware that that was going to be the argument that men are better physically as players and stronger and faster. Therefore, it's not equal. And so for him to have almost see his arrogance to come back and say, I'm going to be the one that fixes this. And then in his letter to say, because they haven't resolved all these millions of lawsuits. Well, those millions in lawsuits were under his watch and often started under his watch. So Cindy actually, parlo cone has done, I think a very good job of wrapping up the lawsuit. They had with U.S. soccer foundation. They got rid of that. She brought in a new CEO. She's changed as we've seen a lot of the culture within the federation. I think they should honor that and let her finish this as a player and as a woman's player who knows how best to get to equal pay. And understands it. And I think she's on the right track to get there. So I shake my head at this. I hope that the athletes council and other members that are voting are going to see that the way forward in all of this right now, I think is Sunday, but I just think it's a surprising move by Carlos Cordero, for sure. And I just was, I was blown away when I saw it, honestly. Yeah, it should be a very interesting buildup to the annual governance meeting for U.S. soccer in March in Atlanta. All right, Julie patty, thanks so much for the time. Great to have you with us here on football. Thanks guys. Thanks, Julie. One more thing before we get out of here. History or even Peralta who just turned 38 yesterday.

"Can do. What he thinks he can get out of it and you know, these are all the things that have made U.S. soccer. What we hate, you know, in the past, what we load, whether it's still in the present. So the credit here first to a couple of our colleagues came and Marie and Jeff Carla, who are, I believe the first to break this news. I have no doubt that Carlos Cordero can win this election. He's a really smart guy and I don't think he'd run if he didn't think he could win. There's a couple reasons for that. He's a real good politician. Remember the 2018 election. He was running against some big names. Eric quin martino hoped solo. And Carlos Cordero won. He also was critical in getting the 2026 World Cup vote to go the way of the United States Canada and Mexico. So this guy knows how to work his way around a room when it comes to the election. So I don't have a doubt that he could get elected. What I do have a doubt is whether he could govern and when I say that is, you know, the election is not a popularity contest. He doesn't have to worry about fans. But when you're governing, you have to worry about fans. You have to worry about the press. And you have to worry about those relationships that you damaged in your prior time as the U.S. president. We'll get to that a little bit in just a second. But I'll tell you this, hurt. I'm going to on the RU cool with it for Carlos Cordero. I'm going to withhold judgment until this. Until we hear from Carlos Cordero and count this as an open invitation to Carlos Cordero Sydney parlo cone to come on this program football Americas and I'll tell you why I want to hear from Carlos Cordero herk because we didn't hear from him last time, huh? You can't be president of U.S. soccer and not talk. And I was on the broadcast on March 11th, 2020. And we invited Carlos Cordero to come on the air on ESPN and talk about what was in those legal filings. Instead he chose to have me on air, read his statement. It wasn't good enough then. We saw the fallout of that. He had to resign within hours of that decision. Can't hide behind statements. You want to be president, you got to do the interviews. I'll withhold judgment, but until you talk, the floor Carlos is yours, check your DMs on Twitter. There's an invitation from your voice here on football. Now somebody, somebody hurt that has not waited on their judgment of Carlos Cordero, is a U.S. women's national team superstar. Megan Rapinoe. Now when she heard news of Carlos.
