Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome to the beautiful pod. I'm out of Friedland. We got CR in LA. I'm at home today. This is perhaps our penultimate episode. Yeah. I'm getting a little emotional. But in the next episode, I will be next to you.
Starting point is 00:00:19 And I will smell you. I'll feel your essence. Guys, real quick, just on a serious note, I wanted to mention we have a rematch of a long-standing rivalry, which is Argentina, England. we lost 255 beautiful boys in the Falklands, our southern border. So I just want to recognize, we don't have much time today, but real quick, I want to recognize Paul Brian Callis, Nigel, Arthur Roegris, Michael, John, Noak, Chen Chi-Shing. I guess he was from Hong Kong, maybe.

The semifinals are heating up. The tabloids are on fire right now in the UK.
Starting point is 00:02:20 What are you making of this controversy? This Jude and Tuchel kind of busts up. I think the English team will not survive this. I think they're falling apart. After Norway, Tuchel got his post-match. interview and and he's a pretty fiery guy and I also think that sometime he kind of comes off like a little bit like he doesn't quite know the impact of every English word he's saying although maybe he does people have been saying he has Jose-esque mind games going on but he was basically like we
Starting point is 00:02:55 didn't play that well we know technically we were bad we didn't we didn't cycle the ball enough we made a lot of mistakes he also was incredibly complimentary about their effort and their mentality. They immediately took those quotes, ran to Jude Bellingham, and they were like, yo, what did you think of what Tom said about you guys after this game? And Jude kind of took a subliminal at Tuchel's not extraordinary playing career. And he was like, well, it's really hard playing in these conditions. And maybe he would know that if he'd played at this level.
Starting point is 00:03:25 Now, he didn't say that, but like kind of like that. And because we have like this vacuum over the last couple of days, the English media has blown this up into crisis in the locker room, crisis between Tuchel and Bellingham. We've had some previous... They're calling this... Yeah, they're calling this Princess Diana, too, I believe. Yes, I believe they are. That's the headline in The Guardian today.
Starting point is 00:03:48 I think this is much ado about nothing. I think that that was actually like a pretty normal quote. They didn't play that well. It was a weird game. It was 100 degrees or whatever with humidity. In Miami against Norway, I don't think it was like watching peak Barcelona. and I think he was probably frustrated with some of the football he saw
Starting point is 00:04:05 and it's not his job to be like we get a we get a pass because of the weather he asked to demand more from them especially if they want to beat Argentina shocking stuff indeed Chris shocking what about you did you think this was bullshit or did you think it was like actually spoke to like a schism
Starting point is 00:04:23 between the manager and the best player I think that the British tabloid press literally killed our princess the princess of hearts it's just genuinely speaking like if you think about the 1970 was it four final or when you know de build sent in or build whatever the name of the jury built yeah yeah sounds like a Dutch footballer but build is the newspaper yeah yeah Stefan de build yeah and he's like literally decapitated about four people yeah
Starting point is 00:04:54 during his short run at at Manchester City before charges were placed for cocaine trafficking. Anyway, okay. This is a good screenplay idea. Hold on. Keep going. Oh, well, I have a screenplay idea for you later on. Here's the thing is, like, everyone, like, I'll contrast it with the way that all the
Starting point is 00:05:15 casuals and yanks and, I don't know, some people think that it's Israel or something. Nowadays, Messi is Israel or something. They're all making the Argentina team out into a villain right now. if there's any squad that will not ever be affected by people not liking them, it is the Argentine national team. I think if there's any team that is vulnerable to media circus, it has troubled England in the past. And the funny thing is, in 74,
Starting point is 00:05:48 it was the other team sending the sexy girls for the sexy girl pool party to sabotage them. But England is like their press just does it to their own team. Yeah. But Chris, I got actually, because I have a couple contacts in the media, one of my good friends actually, a mentor, Pierre's Morgan. Pierre's Morgan. I have a couple of covers of some tabloid bombshells that are going to be coming out,
Starting point is 00:06:14 and I think we're going to break them here first. But, like, yeah, I just saw a couple of these, and I just wanted to get your reaction. The sun is dropping this tomorrow. A Beza Bed's naughty nanny. Apparently, Jude Belliam has slept with a grandmother. This is the second time, of course, this happened in the England team. Rooney's man.
Starting point is 00:06:35 The first was Wayne Rooney, of course, but how can we forget? The man was a romantic. But that's not all. In the Daily Mail, I think we could expect this. This is just an absolute bombshell. Yes, a tiny Tuchel, tits, and boogel. It should be and boogel, Sam, not in boogel. But apparently, Thomas Tuchel has had a wild night out.
Starting point is 00:07:00 It seems like there's two factions in the media right now. There's kind of the pro-tukal side, kind of, I don't know, maybe the, you know, just more pure kind of... And then, of course, there is the, you know, the woke side that's taking our captain's side. This is what happens when you let a Jerry command our boys. Yeah. Okay.
Starting point is 00:07:26 Of course, let's not forget. there's in the U.S. tablets, this will be dropping tomorrow. World War II, German soldier discovered in Queens, of course, and, you know, ICE gets a bad rap, but they are getting this man out.
Starting point is 00:07:41 It wouldn't, Rock wouldn't let me say Nazi. Also, I tried to use more of the, I tried to use Klawn. They were like, this is, this is actually dishonest, making fake news, but Brock was was like more cool with it.
Starting point is 00:07:58 Nazi discovered in Queens. There's one or two more, actually. These are just real quick. I just wanted to show you. Okay. And then, of course, this is a, the sun has, I've just read the first book.
Starting point is 00:08:18 And I said, I guess they didn't do it right, but I asked them to have him holding the book upside down. Okay, let's keep going. Enough of the jokes. Yeah, I mean, but in reality, I think, yeah, we'll see if it has any effect on the England camp. It doesn't really, it's not real. But like, on the other hand, Argentina being painted out to be the villain, if there's any team that doesn't care, it's that team.
Starting point is 00:08:45 I don't think that that'll have any effect on them. If anything, it'll make them more pissed off. I haven't even seen that much of a narrative yet building it. I mean, like, the Maradonna, the ghosts, the, the, all of that stuff. Like, it feels like that, that is almost like fallen by the wayside because of this Tucle-Bellingham thing, which I don't think is a real thing. And so this is actually, like, shaping up pretty well for England, I think. Um, not only do I think that they probably are superior football side right now.
Starting point is 00:09:18 And if they're, if they're healthy enough, if, like, rice can play, you know, like, they, they should be in good shape for this. Zach had five seconds of the man I love. Yeah, I know. I mean, this is the thing that's been sort of strange about. These semifinals are incredible, but we have a bunch of players who are basically dragging their bodies
Starting point is 00:09:39 to the finish line right now, like Lameen and Saka and deck and all these guys. What do you think is, what are you expecting from this match on a football level? I mean, I think we should just, rather we should ask how each team wins. I think that's the easier way of doing it. In general, I think Argentina's looking for messy too much, right?
Starting point is 00:10:01 I think, and they're far too predictable. Their patterns of play, just let him find the ball. Okay? Just let it happen. It's gone. Okay. Are they going to play like a four-man midfield? One of those matchups like, Sam, put that in the document.
Starting point is 00:10:19 We can skip that part. I don't know. Who cares what we think about DePaul versus McAllister, or versus Anderson or whatever. Just like all of us, like we're watching the TV, but we're like looking for the little guy, right? And we just want him to get the ball.
Starting point is 00:10:37 I think the defense is kind of doing that as well. And I think that they have to kind of trust their other weapons. Like I really think like Alvarez's looked great in this last game. England, like on the other hand, didn't look sharp for the entirety of that last match. It was a fucking slug fest. They've now played in, you know, actually, I said this before,
Starting point is 00:11:02 but like if they can get through the gauntlet of Mexico, like in Mexico City, then Miami and July, and then beating Messi and then beating France or Spain. Or Spain, then they, like, you can't, nobody can put any aspects on. It's kind of the best accomplishment in sports history.
Starting point is 00:11:19 Anything. I would like to ask, I'd like to know if those guys felt like Miami was harder than Azteca. I mean, it seemed dog shit. It seemed awful there. I mean, genuinely. And then you, of course, have the ghosts of the 255 beautiful boys who perished. Erwin John Phillips, Philip Jones, Michael Lancaster Ford.
Starting point is 00:11:43 Of course, you have Adrian John Anzlo. I'm good for you. Okay, but yeah, but like beyond all that, like, it doesn't seem like either of these teams are like buzzing, right? So I don't know how to call this. If I had to have to choose, I choose England. Jude is doing, he's kind of on the Zizu trajectory that we've been talking about throughout the tournament. I'm in love with, I'm really in love with him as a player.
Starting point is 00:12:12 And beyond that, like him, he is the de facto. He's become the de facto captain of England beyond being the de facto like on the, on the pitch being like the best player in this tournament for them. I really just, they need, I can't call an Argentina match. Like,
Starting point is 00:12:34 because it's like they're playing with like magic beans and fairy dust right now. Like they're coming back from two goals down with like 15 minutes left, the Cape Verdei out match. Like the Swiss match was just like, we could talk about the red card. It's kind of like in the past now.
Starting point is 00:12:49 but like, I, there is something kind of, there's a kid, yellow cards for simulation. Yeah, I mean, like,
Starting point is 00:12:58 that's, you just, on one hand, like, football is full of injustices on, like, a daily basis. And if you watch club football,
Starting point is 00:13:04 you're just going to go crazy, thinking that everybody is, there's a conspiracy against the team you root for. On the other hand, that was just one of the most insane cards I've ever seen pulled. Even if it was a dive, it just wasn't a yellow,
Starting point is 00:13:17 I don't think. and certainly not in that game state. I think Harry Kane deserved a yellow, you know, earlier in the tournament. And then Jed Spence, that was a real foul. And I don't understand why they just allowed that penalty. I mean, the man would never go down. But genuinely speaking, if it gets to like a, like a sticky game state, I think Argentina would be perfectly comfortable playing for pens with their like
Starting point is 00:13:45 with Emmy. having the best kind of penalty keeper kind of we've seen in recent history in the tournament. I think England wins in regular time. Yes. And I think it's moments, guys, it's Jude. It's Jude.
Starting point is 00:14:02 I mean, Jude has his moment. I kind of think, I kind of sketched out an idea of how Argentina can win, though. And I just want to, like, just real quick, I know we don't have a lot of time. I just want to read it to you. Interior, Tel Aviv, Israel, Mossad, HQ. The head of the Mossad sits at his desk, the phone rings.
Starting point is 00:14:21 Mossad chief. Hello, Prime Minister. Our man has touched out in Dallas. We hear Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's voice muffled. He's furious, screaming. Sir, Project Freddie from Germany was run by amateurs. We've got our best man on this. Exterior, vacant parking lot garage, Dallas.
Starting point is 00:14:37 Tuesday morning, 0600 hours. Mossad's special agent, Mark Gayee, stands alone. He appears impatient. A shadowy figure emerges. hands him a briefcase, package secured. A car arrives. He gets in, he's whisked away. Cut to interior, the manhole, downtown Dallas.
Starting point is 00:14:54 Leather daddies caress each other's bodies, bottomless moses, bottomless poppers, a Tom of Finland illustration come to life. Gaye is mesmerized by their bodies, house music pulsates. In Gaza, they'd throw them off the roof. A gorgeous oil-down muscle man approaches, he's glistening. Mossad asset, Shalom Pinas, the password, Gahee, Pina Shalom. The Mossad asset hands Gahey a dossier. Gayi scans the room.
Starting point is 00:15:24 In a world of betas and softies, it feels good to be in a place where men can be men. Mossad asset, let's not have a repeat of Benghazi this time. You're a loose cannon, but you're the best man we've got. Stay for one drink, Gahey, listen, you piece of shit. As much as I'd like to stay and play grab-ass, I have to go. Messy needs me. Israel needs me. I've got a World Cup to lose.
Starting point is 00:15:49 And do you think just one note? Just one note. The games in Atlanta. So all of that stuff happened. I thought it was going to be like an Oswald thing. That's why I was... Okay.
Starting point is 00:16:03 Listen, I thought it was Dallas. Listen, to me, as a coastal elite, that's the same place. Yeah. All right. Let's go France, Spain. Or is there anything else you want to say? No, let's do France, Spain.
Starting point is 00:16:16 I just, I think, I don't want to, like, say this too many times. I just, I do think, I do think England will beat Argentina. Yeah. And do you think it's coming? Where's it coming? I think it's going back to the winner of this next match. But after the end, you think it's coming? After it goes to France or Spain, will it come home?
Starting point is 00:16:37 I don't think so, no. I think they keep it. Dude, I can't pick, I cannot, I cannot find day. in this next match. I think that Queen Elizabeth was a loser. Okay? And we got a new man in charge, and his name is Charles.
Starting point is 00:16:52 And guess what? We can expect every World Cup from here on out until the Megan Markle takes over as the next queen of, okay, anyway. The beautiful pod is brought to you by Fandul. On the biggest stage in the world, Fandul is changing the game
Starting point is 00:17:08 because sometimes your player gets subbed off and your bet goes with him. Not anymore. With Fandul's super sub, if your player is subbed out, your bet stays in. That's right. If your player leaves the match, your bet continues on with the substitute. So you're still in it until the final whistle. Because it matches like these, anything can happen, and your bet can go the distance.

Starting point is 00:17:58 If I had to, I kept saying witness, witness, just the kid from Akron. Yamal was phenomenal in that game. He has, he's kind of like, he's not fully fit. He's kind of coming off of injury. But we did see Nico Williams at the end of the last match. And once Marino and Williams came on, I feel like they looked completely different class than the team we've seen thus far. My man, Arsenal's own Enterprise Renekar,
Starting point is 00:18:30 associate looking ass, Mikhail Marino, cannot stop scoring. What a player. Arsenal's best striker. Sorry about him. I'm talking about Arsenal. I think Marino and Williams can be game changers to them and I don't think that the golf
Starting point is 00:18:46 of talent between France and Spain is as big as assuming that they're playing a big part of the semifinal I think that this could be way more evenly matched than we think it will be but because I said that that means 6-0 France
Starting point is 00:19:05 how are you feeling about this match? I think these the two best teams in the tournament, probably the two best teams in the world in international football. And I can talk myself into either side like getting the
Starting point is 00:19:21 advantage here. We are also now at the culmination of probably the two dominant, I mean, Spain obviously had to rebuild after they're like the Tikitaka dynasty that they had and that incredible run of the NES to Shavi Bousquet's
Starting point is 00:19:36 Fabergast, the whole thing. But I feel like they're rounding back into like top form. And France has been on this kind of incredible run since 18. I think that France will win, but there is definitely a scenario in which Spain beats them 1-0. Or Spain beats them 1-0. I think I keep talking about it and being wrong, but I think this will be the one match,
Starting point is 00:20:03 where if DeShamps goes with the two-man midfield, Spain as a possession-based team can overwhelm them in the midfield. But counterpoint, the drinks breaks, makes that much harder. I think Spain is a team that wants to strangle you for 45 minutes and pass you into oblivion, have you chasing after the ball, expending more energy than them. It's harder to do when you have to survive just 20 minutes. It's been cool actually seeing the four-quarter system kind of evolve. but like in the like for instance in the Mexico match like England needed to survive the first quarter
Starting point is 00:20:40 and conversely in the Norway match Norway kind of gave them the ball and then second quarter came out firing right which I think is the way more mature smarter like coaching plan actually which was in a hundred thousand degrees let the other team run around in circles run around and just go health for broke against them. Strength of schedule, we saw Spain has beaten Portugal and Belgium. France really has beaten nobody, to be fair. And, you know, like, against, if you want to say Morocco was a real team, the only guy that could score wasn't playing, right?
Starting point is 00:21:23 So, you know, genuinely speaking, like, it'll be really interesting to see if, DeShops keeps going with just a two-man like double pivot behind basically like four insane attackers and if he does that I wonder what that looks like against Spain
Starting point is 00:21:44 and I also wonder how much rumor to be coming back for this right Chewamani is supposed to be healthy for this game so I don't know if that means Kone drops or what it is they have so his fist his fist has recovered Yes.
Starting point is 00:22:01 Their depth is just, it's just too overwhelming. I mean, like, I think that there's like a 3-1 France win and there's a 1-0 or Penn Spain win. That's kind of how I'm feeling. It's either not that close and France is easily the best team in the world and what are you even talking about. Or like you're saying, Spain keeps the ball, doesn't let France have any incredible counters
Starting point is 00:22:27 and just bleeds them. them out. Yeah, in the last round, like, Spain conceded for the first time in this tournament, but Unai Simone looked dog shit. For some reason, they keep, like, demanding to start their third best keeper. I don't understand why they're doing that, but in a penalty shootout, I'm taking Magic Mike, you know, if they're using Simone. It's two different types of depth, right? You have depth across the front line in France, and then you have depth across the midfield with Spain. and Spain's got the deepest, most absurd midfields in the World Cup. They do have sort of a mid-defense.
Starting point is 00:23:04 They just can't get into a shootout with France either. Like, they don't have the goals to get into a three-two, you know, like I don't think they have that goal score on the side that all these other teams and the semis do. I'm saying Mikel Marino, 89, a Brave 1-0. He does it again. he really is amazing how does he do it if you look at his if mccal marino like wins the world cup for spain i'm gonna freak out
Starting point is 00:23:33 he literally looks like he's like i'm here like here are mckell marinos per 90 sets uh amongst midfielders shot attempts 94th percentile goals 100th percentile defensive contributions 65th aerial duels won 97th percentile chances created 77th he's uh he is a juggernaut on paper. Yeah. I think it probably is effective maybe by usage rates
Starting point is 00:24:02 that benefit your per 90 cents. But in general, like I'm really, I'm saying France probably, but like I don't know how to call the other match.
Starting point is 00:24:16 In general, like how do we feel about like, you know, we had this conversation earlier where you want, you know, there's a natural kind of
Starting point is 00:24:25 romance about Minow or a, you know, kind of a Cinderella story, but like, in reality, I wanted these four teams to be in the quarterfinals. And I wanted to see these guys cook. And I don't know.
Starting point is 00:24:43 Like, how are you feeling about this? Yeah, I want to be more democratic about it and say it would have been cool if Norway, even with my England fandom aside, like if Norway had gotten to the semi- or if Morocco had gotten to the semis again. And the truth is that I want to watch Messy versus Impapa.
Starting point is 00:25:01 And I really hate that it had to happen the way it did with Switzerland. It was like, that could have been a really awesome World Cup match that kind of got real weird after the sending off. I don't, I think the round of 16 is where the Cinderella can check out,
Starting point is 00:25:18 you know, and the quarters. I don't really want to get into, you know, having Porto and the, Champions League final. Like, you know, if I'm being honest, like, I think, I think the way that the tournament is set up, it's so long, it's so grueling, it demands so much endurance out of these countries that I kind want to see the best of the best right at the end. The only example I can think of in like international football is, is Greece 02.
Starting point is 00:25:44 Yep. Is that right? For the euros? Or like any, or Greece 04. I mean, I'm trying to think of like any like euros, Copenhagen. Yeah, I mean, I honestly, at this point. like over the last whatever eight years, I would honestly consider Croatia
Starting point is 00:25:59 to be one of a great European side. This Madrid team is like they've... Did they've obviously petered out? No, they just got to the final. Got to the final, but they've been in and around like semis and finals for the Euros. Sam, what's the last example of like a team that's not like a top, whatever,
Starting point is 00:26:17 whatever the equivalent is of top six in international football? I would say probably Chile winning back to back Copa America because in 15 and 16 was the closest to like a dark horse winner. But Chris's shout about Croatia is right for Europe. Two straight semifinals at World Cups for a country that small is incredibly impressive. Yeah. Well, I mean, you didn't compliment England about that either.
Starting point is 00:26:41 I think England are going to win the World Cup. I think they're going to beat Argentina. I think Spain are going to beat France. And I think England are going to meet Spain. Did you hear that, Chris? He's sucking up to you. Are you going to cry if they win? me?
Starting point is 00:26:55 Yeah. I don't think so, but like, let's see how good the Wonderwall is afterwards. I'm kind of sick of Wonderwall. I'm kind of sick of it. Do you want them to switch it up at the very end? Yeah, I wanted them to switch it up into, yeah, sex pistols. I am an Anarchista. Do you want to do any happy trails for teams that lost over the weekend before we get out of here?
Starting point is 00:27:20 Norway, Holland, I like you now as a guy. As a guy, I like you. You've convinced me this summer. I like you as a guy. What do you think about Holland as a player in a World Cup quarterfinal getting yanked? I don't know. I think about Holland playing for a team that their ownership is actively funding a genocide right now in Darfur. I think about that.
Starting point is 00:27:44 You know, I think about Pep having the – Pep leaving honorably. No. I thought that Holland, yeah, why did they pull him? I think he's tired. You know, the truth is, Chris, the exuberance that we're displaying in this episode is because it was a shit quarters. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:05 It was an amazing 16s, an amazing 32s, the group stage was amazing. I think it was a shit quarters. It's too hot. It's getting too hot here. It's too hot. It's too hot in the East Coast. It's going to be hot in Texas. I guess it's good that I presumably Arlington and Atlanta both have some air conditioning.
Starting point is 00:28:20 so it won't be sweltering. It's not that. It's us dealing with the reality that we're not, it's going away. We're not going to be able to watch ball, right? I just started John Adams. For like four weeks. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:28:33 I'm doing John Adams HBO right now because I need something after this. I'm doing Andoni, Erioola's first press conference over and over again. And then we have a Jose Marino three-part documentary on Netflix. How was it? Was it a good presser? Yeah, it was cool presser.
Starting point is 00:28:49 What do you say? He was just like. set pieces. Yeah. We're going to be, we're going to be Liverpool. We're going to bring it back. It's going to be twist and shout. It's going to be the Beatles.
