Hey, folks, welcome to Ain't It Footy, the number one U.S. soccer podcast on our heart podcast. Hey, we believe that this show's cool. We believe that this show's great. Anyway, brother, it's me, Miles Gray. Yeah. I'm here with my other brothers here. Jamel Johnson. Hey, how you doing, brother? Hey, what's going on, bro? All right. And I got Chris Martin here. What up, dude? All right, man. Just three American blokes. Oh, shit. Didn't this. I gave it away.

We're just, look. We're here. It's a nifty. Sorry, bro. Dude. Sandblasting. This guy, this guy just got off the beach. We got sandblasted, dude.

D.T. tried to get us unblasted, but we still blasted. It's not soundblasted, dude. Ball don't lie, bro. Ball don't lie, huh? The amount of goofballs that were running around saying, it's called soccer, man. Oh, around that time. Oh. Jesus Christ.

My favorite is, you know, like, the Brits invented the word soccer? I'm like, it annoys me all. You're just scratching the table. You don't got to worry about me no more, man. MLS is still soccer, but for now on, it's football and American football. Wait until they fucking plant that Union Jack and it's called MLF. You, Major League football. I mean, that is good brandy.

We need that. Yeah. Anyway, a lot has happened since the last time we, talk, but really let's get into what you already know and what is the most recent. The U.S. men's national team defeated Bosnia and Herzegovina 2-1. Florian Balagan got a straight red

for what I believe was a I get it. I get why you would feel upset but sometimes those are given. When Var looks at it and your studs are coming down even if it doesn't look intentional, it looks bad enough that you will get a red card. You know, and then thank God

for our president Donald J. Trump. Because from all the reporting that we've seen, he basically, all the goons around him got people from U.S. soccer on the phone being like, what are the laws we can use to try and figure out how we can pressure FIFA into doing something different? And then a call was made. Next thing, you know, they're evoking Article 27.

I'm like, what the fuck is the Geneva Convention? What are we fucking talking about? Article 27 where they're basically like, okay, that was a red card, but Flo Balligan, you ain't got to do it. You've got to do the time for it right now. We'll defer it. Which also they did for Cristiano Ronaldo for him to even play in the first couple

group stage matches because he did get a straight red the last qualifier before the World Cup. So it's nothing new. But however, it completely fucked up the energy for the U.S. men's national team and gave Belgium the biggest chip on their fucking shoulder because they had tried to appeal it. It didn't go through. And now they're doing the Trump dance in the locker room. And credit to them because they beat the fucking shit out of us. It was fucking terrifying.

When the news broke, I texted, I think, you guys, I texted a lot of people. I was at the beach and I was like, I texted Donald's called Gianni as a joke. And as I sent it, I went, I bet that actually happened. It started up as a bit and I went, why if that happened? And everyone was like thinking then like an hour later, a lot of reporting came out. Yep. that it did probably have a have a say in it. Someone did point out the irony of a,

on the week of the birth. Birth Red Citizenship, not being passed by the Supreme Court that Trump has used his, his, made a Nigerian go to work. Yeah. But you're right, it didn't mess up the, because I was very, you know, my son's American.

I'm like, come on USA. And I was like, you know, cheat. You're doing. Yeah. North East. And then it just made everyone want the USA to lose.

Exactly. And then Flo, I feel bad for him. He's just the guy. Did you see he apologized to the Belgian manager? Very English. No, he knows very English.

Exactly. This motherfucker was raised in the UK. Donald's like, he's going to Donald's like, he's apologizing. He would cancel it. Ban him now. What are you doing? What is he doing?

But yeah, it was, yeah, it was a, it completely soured the mood. I honestly think if we're just playing out like the normal rules of the game do,

which is you have no appeal. for a red card like that. And you, and that's what you do. You go fucking, you back, go back in the lab and go, all right, we have to fucking tinker with some shit. Peppy, maybe you're starting now. Maybe we have to play a little bit differently. That's who I feel bad for, man.

Ricardo Pepey, that can you imagine? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. The president who shits his pants. Yeah. Regularly. Yeah. Said, you're not playing. Right.

You never seen me play before. What do you even know about me? Yeah, yeah. I like the black guy. They say he's good. So. Rough. And he said some shit.

he's like, I know sports. He's funny examples. He goes, you know, he didn't punch him in the face. Yeah. It's like, yeah, I know, but there's a grading. So it's not UFC. Yeah, exactly. You've acknowledged that.

And then he was like, it's like banning, just naming the play. It was like, banning messy. Yeah, yeah. He did hear a couple buzz phrases to be like, yes. We remember that? That wasn't called. But then I had a lot of people text me, Americans going, you know,

it's the best thing he's done as a president. And then I was like, but you can't. They meant that? I don't. I think, you know what Americans are like? They really don't want to win so bad that their moral. And they don't usually.

They will hand out blankets. They'll hand out diseased blankets. Yeah. I think in the group text, we were getting a lot of people being like, it's fine. Yeah, it was a little bit like corruption's cool.

Yeah, yeah. We was, you know. Oh, yeah. Stay away from those people. I reposted it. Yeah, yeah. Just the screencaps. Just that guy.

Look at this foolish shit. But I also didn't think it. I thought Peppy was the better option. But after all of it, I think we lose anyway because Christian Pulisick is a bitch. Christian Pulisick is a huge bitch. It was so funny. The memes that there's a, yo, I'm calling him Maga Garnacho. Son.

Wow. Caitlin Pulisick. That's Caitlin Clark out there with men shorts on. Wow. And I'll say this to your face, Christian. You went out like a hoe. We all saw it. You ain't even cry.

You're such a bitch you didn't cry. Yeah, he said some shit like, but I'm just going to just go like rest up now. And the fucking lame-ass reporter is like, she's about to cry. What were you going through out there, Christian? What was happening? And he was like, I'm just too some of my ankle or something.

You kick the guy's leg on your own. You fucking nut. You are a ho as of today. There's nothing you could do in pro football to change my mind. You could go to FC Dallas and score a million goals. I don't care. But you got one more chance. 2030.

You can get that. You can wipe that label off. Was that stat? he's in. Was that the stat true about when he did the MAGA Trump dance, that his numbers have been absolute dog shit since he did that? Yeah, essentially. It was like right after the election when he was like this.

He didn't score for US from that point. In the 14 games since that MAGA Trump dance, one goal and three assists with an average match rating of 6.6. Trash. So the whole plan with Peppy being in was everybody saying, oh, but they, him and Hulisic work better together. They work better together, but we're ready to play. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

He was all worried about the president watching. I hope he doesn't spoil himself. Right. Seeing my performance. I am going to miss the commentator like when USA do anything remotely good. Yeah, yeah. And then, you know, even like Tillman's like, he scored another one, two and two. And then he sees the replay and it's a huge deflection is why.

Yeah, it's taking a deflector, but he's headed so well. You know, if he doesn't, if he doesn't try to kick the ball, don't get a deflection. Listen, at least Malik's ass was out there trying, man. Yeah, yeah, yeah. At least he was trying. He took that free kick faster shit too, huh? Right. Yeah.

Smart, though. Hey, listen, do what you have to do. Right. At least Malik was trying. Hey, Christian, look at what Malik does. Stu Holden, I think it was Stu Holden, who usually gets the most out of sorts, like with the positivity, where he's like, this could be it. They could be turning it around. I'm like, hey, did you see that fucking goal?

By the way, oh my God. These people will check the fuck out. had six shots on goal in 10 minutes. Right. Three of them bitches was on frame. Yeah. What? What was your favorite goal?

Hmm. Yeah. I like the, um, the Lukaku one was just great. The one was like, they fully gave up. They were just like, they were like,

he texted outed on time. He's like, really this much space. That one was really good because even the announcer was like, don't let them score again. Oh, no. Ah, damn it. I nutted on myself.

Yeah. Golly. But you know, they didn't let in a fifth, and that's good. No, the second one, the second one showed how ass we are. Yeah, yeah, for sure. Fucking Tim Ream getting fucking body. I was texting him, mate, going. Simrim's not very good.

He's older than us. He's older than us. Yeah, man, he's out there because we don't have enough guys who can pass. Yeah. Okay? I mean, Matt, Matt, Matt, from him. Speaking of camp, by the way, didn't I tell you guys our goalies was fucking shit? Yeah, yeah.

It is fucking shit. That was a man. who fully like, he's got there. And he's absolutely panicked. He's gone. I've put my hand up and someone's asked me to speak in class. And I wasn't expecting to speak. Say something.

Just kicks the ground. It's like you fuck the bed. Guys, just please. Hey, US Soccer Federation. Start scouting like D2 basketball. Find one of these big ass kids who can't shoot. And go get one of them. Right, right.

With a crazy wingspan. My American mate was, you guys used to make good goalies. That's somehow. They used to be black, man. That's true. Even Brad Friedel has something black about him. He looked like L.L. Cool Jack. He looks like he would be problematic, like one of those, like he doesn't talk about that he's black.

Yeah. You're like, isn't Brad Friedel black? Why is he talking like that? He was bald in a way. Yeah, yeah. And like, that said that to me. If you said, he's like, well, yeah. I mean, my grandmother, they say she was Red Bull.

He was Creole, man. That's what Bradford. Absolutely need a black goalkeeper. It's mandatory. Mandatory. Because what? I guess Tim Howard, right? That's the best we got?

He black sometimes? Yeah. Those teeth are white. He ended up being right about it. Teeth are definitely white. He thought he was white as white as could be. He was right about everything, huh? What was he said?

Well, first he was like, Bosnia, listen, we're wiping them. And also he said, the USA had no chance at winning this tournament. That was the first thing he said. I mean, they were my dark horses and I was like quarterfinals was my. I would be a single person who knows the sport who's like yeah, I bet that the U.S. would win. They're like, no, you're not, you don't

think that's going to happen. It's not an easy take. I understand a positivity. It's not a hot take. You can't win a tournament if you need a leader to call up and get a guy. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Your president can't win it for you, bro. Yeah, yeah.

No. Well, America, you've done it again. Has it captured the night? Do you think people, no, you think kids will, no, you think kids will, like, not be into the game now. The mansion pans is too fried. I think they're watching cocoa melon right now.

No one gives a fuck now. I think it's over. I mean, it's funny because I do you remember at the end of the game, like, Stu Holden was like begging people to like still give a shit about the World Cup. He's like, this is what he said.

If you've enjoyed what you're seeing, well, support your local team. This doesn't have to be the last soccer you watch for the next four years. It's a beautiful sport. The future of American soccer is very bright. Sound like somebody trying to give me to recycle. shut up.

You're like, oh, so this is LA. We don't recycle. Get out of here, man. Do you know what we do with the plastic? It's fucking in a warehouse. It's burning. Okay?

It's a fucking joke, man. So, I mean, just if you want to know how well it's in my group text of work, they will love sports. And then after you guys knocked out, so is the World Cup over? And then someone's like,

yep, back to hockey. Oh. That's it. It's over. Oh, I know that person. That's tough. I know that person.

You can guess the race of that person. Yeah, I can. Okay. And I can get. their favorite racial slur. If any, if we could get 10 rich people to care, maybe something different will change. The problem is you got to pay too much to play.

You got to pay too much to play like, you got to have five grand to get on any team worth anything? You know what it was? If the U.S., if Trump didn't get involved and that led to an in, like, in people's minds, a direct line to that embarrassing loss, not that the U.S. would have won. But the way that shit just looked so fucking sad. and we were playing so negative and just still could like someone tweeted they're like America's trying to park the bus but they don't have a functioning transit system yeah shit hurts but I feel like if if the US like even lost

respectably with the balligan's yeah yeah yeah fought valiantly little heart people would have been like oh you know what you did what you could but this one felt like we had Trump put his thumb on this game and we were still bad yeah yeah yeah so it just feels you're like bro, no, that felt gross. Nah. And so, yeah. Back to hockey. There's no Rocky, there's no Rocky,

Rocky, the first Rocky movie ending. Ah, they went out swinging. It was good. It's like, it's like if poorly put like metal weights in Rocky's gloves and then he got knocked out in the first round. Hey, hey, hey, there's my movie, guys. Hey.

Hey, hope you come back. Hey, don't have a race. My Oscar, hey. Hey. Hey, you don't like that. Adrian. What you mean? You're cheating a little.

You're a cheat, Rocky. Fuck you, Rocky. That girl who hates Rocky. You're a cheat, Rocky. You're a cheat, Rocky. You're fucking cheat, bitch. Hey, yeah, I just bouncing my ball over you. Oh, man.

That's such a... What happened to just do just holding a little fucking racquetball a little bit? Just bouncing that shit. Fingerless gloves on. Because people don't fistfight anymore. You don't need to work on your hand-dye coordination like that anymore. It's that also, bro, because people have cell phones now. Yeah.

If we didn't have cell phones, you, People still be doing physical shit. I would have a tennis ball on me right now. Oh, yeah. I'd have a fucking football right here. I would just probably dribbling around.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah. Bring it right here, holding my arm. Boom, on the table. To you guys' point, the way I feel about Mexico right now,

very good. Yeah. They should be very proud. Exactly. Exactly. But also that's because they're better than us. You know what I mean?

And they're fun. And they throw piss at you. They throw piss. We got to get to throwing piss. It's very English. We got to get to throw in piss. It's quite English. Yeah, that is true.

That's where we're behind, like, a hundred years. We do that on, like, a global foreign policy scale. So I think that's what we need to change. Who's throwing the piss? We need to start. Is that what they are throwing? They're throwing beer at the players, definitely. You reckon there's probably a bit of piss in there as well.

Sometimes it's piss. Yeah. I think in the harder games. No, the players aren't like, yeah, that's pissed that time. That would be fun. That would be bored, though. Someone just comes back. He's like, hey, you got boy, that?

Belling him's, like, ah. They're like, bro, he's on his knees right now. Bring on the piss. Just mouth open. Front page of the daily mouth. What's a lion. The piss drinking lion. It's called Taking the Piss.

That's it. That's it. That's it. Give me your piss. National holiday. Yeah. But anyway, I guess, okay. We can get to, we'll get to England in a second. Next up, though, we do want to talk about Argentina.

Talking of FIFA corruption. Yeah, holy shit. Masi, messy. Hey, Verde. Another team, fucking salute. The fucking, the troops of Cabo Verde. What a fucking fantastic, right. Talk about going out valiantly.

That's what you're talking about. Their second goal, their second goal was so fucking, that was such a beautifully hit, curling shot that I was, it felt like an injustice that that didn't get them something out of that. I know. At least if it were like, just, just penalties. I know, I know, I know exactly. I was watching that in the red line. So my context of that game is I went with friend of the podcast, Francesca Furencini. Yeah. Very funny, very good comic does a great thing called a bituation room.

Bituation room. Yeah. Big Argentina fan. Yep. I stay in the bituation room. Yeah, yeah. So we're watching the game. And she is like a very, very important. about a fun

she's uh she watches she reminds me that you watching Arsenal in the league just sort of just so serious existential yeah yeah yeah serial killer she's come she's abandoned I thought her family were coming with her because her kids similar to my kid and then she

turns she kind of abandoned them to just watch the game alright and then so Matt was with the kid yeah and then he had to come he had to come they had to come at one point and then anyway then so it's you know I they scored the first goal what a beautiful god by Messi I'm like you guys I'm only gonna win this is gonna be easy if you guys and then the goal equalize goes in

In the red line where people don't really care. Great move on the utilization, by the way, two nutmegs. The whole crowd start wanting Cabo Verde to win. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And she's like, all right, she goes, I've got to change my shirt. She'll go, I've got to change my shirt. What do you mean? She goes, and I don't, this is a bad luck shirt.

And I go, no, absolutely. And then 2-1, go, you're good. Takes it off, just body paint on. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's a shirt, it was a shirt, man. And then, no, hang on, no, she let out one all. She just bounces. She just go, she just, I go, see ya.

That's my style. I'll roll out. She's like, there's bad juice you here. I've got to go. And I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, I'm like, anyway, she goes. And then I'm texting her and it's like, then they go two, one. I go, you good. And then the crowd goes wild when that second ago.

We have to give the guy, what's his name? I mean, I love that guy. That's the celebration as well. That guy, of that goal, like, he goes so, I've never seen a man go so far into the crowd. Does he even get a yellow for that? I like, I think they're not giving yellow for you. He should have gone, he should have gone, he should have gone out of the state and got a plane, flown home.

it was that good of goal I mean Hats off Yeah, Sydney Cabral Sydney Cabral Yeah And anyway And then I'm and she's like

She's not even with her husband and kids She's now gone on her own To a bar And she says She's gonna be full of artists She's full of Cape Verde fans at a bar And then obviously then they win And I congratulate her

Oh so she fully Had the venues She was going on She was abandoned She abandoned me She abandoned family twice I think Okay She got a separate car

She's like texting me And then she's time she's at like a hotel anyway but it worked and she goes yeah because that she had to change my shirt and that's what works anyway then today I'm at work and then we're texting at the game and texting her and then and then it's one nil down I still think and then I see it's 2-0 at work and I'm like oh dear and I'm like what are you doing to change this and I think I think two-nill it's over I think Egypt have won the game and then I don't know if I had some some airiness again what's your opinion on crystals and she went I've got Chris she got

Oh, yeah. And then I'm at work, and I turn on it's free to. And this is the photo she sends me. And everyone's saying free for corruption. She just sends me that. Oh, she set up the Billy, the Phillies, mate. We're thinking it's Infantino and then, it's you and the crystals. It's Billy Infantino.

Billy Infantino. Ain't that a bitch? What the fuck? That was crazy, though, because it's 2-0. And I, what was the thing? I go, I go, you got to try. I said you've got to leave. You got to leave where you are.

She's putting a, she puts a, uh, A kaffir. Yeah. And then I go, you got to travel. She got literal outfits on. No, I say you've got to travel. I say, because you've got to leave the location. I said, we'll get crystals.

That helped Austin win the league. I like I use that as like, like anecdotal evidence of a snake oil sales. You're like, you know, that's how my son cured his limb. But you say anecdotal. And they're like, oh, mate. Billy's. What are you reading right out? She goes, that I can do.

Crystal's work. And then when I see the score, I just send her the gem, like a crystal emoji. she sends me that photo and I'm like, oh, so sorry. Damn. Egypt also. A lot of people blame my show speed.

Sure. Because he's been wearing the losing kit for the last fucking DJ Drake. He's been on the wrong side since the group stage. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He wore a Portugal kit, gone.

Cape Verdea kit, gone. Egypt kit, gone. So, yeah, yeah, I mean,

whatever. Either way, it was just, it was wild just to see that comeback. although it was Egypt should have had three goals because they had one disallowed they'd taken back on VAR for one of the

fucking weirdest far calls I've ever seen that's a tough one just VAR this tournament makes no sense I'm gonna say right now like it's like there's no there's no consistent thing they're doing or it's like that one

that hasn't been the whole tournament they've not pulled it back for a foul that's like nine years ago that foul happened in the last game That was actually a Cape Verde player. It feels like something that would have happened like in the U.S. match. Like, oh, actually Trossard, Lukaku, De Ketaler can't play because something they did three matches. They're showing the video screen.

And I think they're like, hang on, isn't that? Is that a different team? No, no, no. That's this tape from that. That's him. It's on the screen. So it's real. No, that's AI.

I have 17 fingers on it. I am very much looking forward to Spain, Portugal. Where's the American World Cup? Yeah. The corruption is going to be the right. right amount? Yeah, it's the perfect amount. Yeah. A bunch of dead tapes around? A nice thin slice of

corruption. Yeah. It's been cured. Kind of melts in your mouth. Delicious. What do you think with Argentina, that's two games where they've had to, it's been a fingernail bitter and they, by the literal grace of God. Dios, Lionel Messi. The billies. And some scoring, that kind of blew me.

Yeah. I didn't like that at all. It's been a lot of these sort of line. I think up until that it's like, I feel like no Chelsea players. It's been a lot of goals scored. So here's the other thing as well. I agree on the foul. But Egypt, when I tune up,

they got to win that. And then I forget the name, but there's an African correspondent. It goes on Guardian Football Weekly. And he's very like when, Dominican, how do I say the Congo full name? Democratic Republic.

Oh, were you going to say the Dominican Republic of Congo? Yeah, that was the whites. That's cool. Just remember, Brian. Just isolate that. Protect, protect me. That's in the same. Island is Hayati, right?

Brian, I'll send you a crystal if you protect me. My English... I got crazy haircuts in the Dominican Republic of Congo. I just immediately leave. Sounds like some maga shit. Like this guy's from the frigging

Dominican Republic of Congo or something. Don't act like I won't make that t-shirt. That's a fun one, actually. Who is that? It's Wisa and Big Pappy next to each other. Or Wamba Saka. It's like Wamba Lama. We said playing baseball though.

Yeah. It's like, okay, Wamba soccer, bicycle kick? I mean, in the perfect world, big poppy bicycle kick, Wamba soccer's up to bat. Just to sort of get myself out of the hole. I don't think it's just because I'm white and it's a nation. No, no, no. Because I was telling you guys about how people think that like,

they don't understand Scotland and England and it's like, they don't understand. And that's really bad. And that's the whitest. And that's offensive. Yeah, that's the white is the school. It's nuts. I saw it, man.

there was a guy I'm at the bar I'm at a beach bar in Maui it's a packed bar for Mexico, England two Scottish guys with traffic cones on their head What's up with the traffic cones? Is that their style?

So that's when they put all the traffic cones on the statues Oh yeah It's a drunk thing Scottish thing You steal traffic cones They had their own like cone hats That was their supporting Yeah

Yeah they had a cheesehead Like a mini traffic cone hat Yeah they had a couple little cheese heads And this guy from Arizona was like who the Scottish guys rooting for? And like multiple people were like Mexico. Yeah, yeah.

They're like, but they're white. Why would they I was like, brother, have you seen Braveheart? Yeah. They don't like it. It's different whites. Yeah. Well, was that the, was that the, was that the moral of that movie? I thought it was just that white guys are fucking cool. That's what I got from Braveheart. He asked a way. Tiny ass nation. He asked me, the guy next to me, the waitress. We all were like,

Mexico. He keeps asking. And then he asks the guys. He's like, hey, who are you guys rooting for? Mexico. Rico. Wow. And then he finally, and then he just left. He's like, his mind was gone.

Yeah, he's like, actually. Nah. You guys are white. It was bizarre. You're not supposed to do that. Like, it's different whites, man. You guys have the same queen. God damn it.

It's not. What would be the, how would you break that down? It's like, where is he, where was he from? He was from Scottsdale. So it'd be like, you say to him, do you like your rival?

What's the rival, does Scottsdale and have a rival town? Is that the issue? Yeah, I guess not. It would be like, why aren't you rooting for Mexico, bro? Yeah. You're close to you're right there. Yeah, right.

Them your guys. Border buddies. Yeah. What's going on? Not's a different country, man. Multiple people at the resort super hype that Mexico lost. Hang on you're like, Arizona used to be. Mexico.

Then it used to be Mexico. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. You got me there, buddy. Hey, sorry, you got me there. That's why I won't acknowledge that historical fact. I'm just going to leave. Straight up. That's just not going to be part of my analysis.

I got to go. Did a hat tip and bounced, man. It was nuts. What was I saying? It was something about, obviously, not exactly what I just said, but before that I was talking about. I was talking about sustainability for Argentina.

They've been holding, they've been barely getting by. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, but anyway. I think it's, I think they're not. Okay, anyway, I'm going to go, guys. But you were saying something about the Congo. Right, it was the Congo thing.

It was, oh, that was it. It was about the, it was like he's an African correspondent. He was saying about the African, he's like being the unvarnished truth about the African teams and how they keep choking in these moments. Because when Belgium got the two equalizers against Senegal, he was like, the coach is pretty harsh, right? Swiss, he was like, we knew they were going to just sit back

and we're going to score goals, which sounds like, you didn't know you're going to score any 80s and 50. But then this guy was like, yeah, there's some sort of like mental block that keep choking. And then Egypt, two nil up. You've got to win for me. Yeah, yeah. And then the goals are laying in, they're not, they're not like hard to defect.

They're just like a hopeful cross in the box. Just head down. You're letting shit bounce in the box. That were like Romero win ahead. Yeah, yeah. So, yeah, definitely there's naughtiness with the VAR. But I think when you're two null up, there's a lot. There's a lot of time, though.

I mean, they were two and a half hour to go. But, I mean, that just, yeah, two is two. That just shows you also, too, like when, after Messi scored that second goal, I've never seen him like that too he looked like he was like he was like yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah he's normally so cool yeah yeah yeah and I was like oh shit

like they needed that shit and I get it and now I mean I mean it's I have a feeling they are going to keep it's gonna happen one of two ways right it's like one of those things where it just creates this belief where like the chips could be so down and you're like I don't know bro we're gonna

fucking figure it out and we just do and we're not gonna get in our own heads about it or I don't know if they're panicked. I was like, bro, we need to start fucking just winning some shit and not kind of like just scraping by. Either way,

they have God on their team. So, they'll be okay. Let's take a break. Okay, let's come back. And let's talk about some good old fashion,

Women's sports is giving us way too much to talk about these days. The highlights, the rivalries, the breakout stars, the moments to take over your entire timeline. And the conversations that start during the game and somehow keep going all week. Every week we're breaking down the biggest stories across women's sports. We'll give you our tapes, our debates, and probably a few disagreements.

We'll talk to athletes, celebrate big moments, and get into what's happening on and off the field, court, track, and beyond. Because we're not just interested in what happened. We're interested in why everyone's talking about it. Because everyone watches women's sports. So if you're already a fan, you're just getting into the game,

And this is our new podcast. Wellness Actually. Because you're getting a staggering amount of health and wellness information nowadays, and some of it is awesome. And some of it is, well, actually, bullshit. Fortunately, we're both people who know how to read studies, parse data, and can tell you what's worth trying out and what you can safely ignore. Each episode, we tackle the health news of the week and then take a deeper dive into a misunderstood health and wellness topic, like... What's the deal with peptide? What's the deal with GLP ones?

What's the deal with creatine? deal with cupping? What's the deal with sleep? So join us for a weekly dose of sanity. It might actually be just what the doctor or the economist ordered. Listen to Wellness Actually on the Iheart radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts. I'm Mungishit together and I'm back with a new season of the podcast Skyline Drive. This time I'm diving into a rabbit hole of peptides, organoids, blood boys, blue zones and brain replacement to try to understand what this longevity obsession is all about, and what it really means to live forever, for all of us. I learned about some rad science.

I can make a brain for you, and then we can test what draw is the best for your brain, as opposed to his brain. Here are some hard truths. I would expect Indians to age faster, but I did not expect it to be almost a four to five-year acceleration. and get myself into a world of trouble. I'd say probably start bone smashing. That doesn't work.

To make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know. Listen to Skyline Drive, How to Live Forever on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcast. We are back. France played Paraguay.

And their latest was those round of 16 match. Pretty fucking, that was a spicy. That was a chippy one. that was Paraguay's tactic was to kick the shit out Yeah yeah yeah And they were Comey Bowl Yeah yeah yeah

Pick them to Comey Bowl one time It was just like Oh you'd like to play like Kick the shit out of you That was your That was your sunny night in Stoke On a shit Yeah yeah

I was Want to see them do it on a sunny Beautiful Day in Paraguay Yeah With a kicking the shit out of you Exactly what it is Yeah Your sunglasses in on

And your Your cocktail in the hand While a guy is trying to smash your E's on, mate. Elbowing you in your solar plexus. So, that one was it, Upa McConnell, who caught one just so clean? Like, I think it was on a corner on a set piece. And the guy just beautiful, beautifully timed dirty elbow to the fucking gut.

I was like, they're fucking good at this. Like, I like it. It was kind of fun to see when people were like, look at, like, there was like a slow motion montage of all the fucking shithousery. And I was like, this is beautiful. But unfortunately, that is not a way you're going to win. France handled it. Yeah.

And Mbapé converted a penalty 1-0 It was It was interesting to see like It was towards the end They were they kept trying to get in his fucking head Like it was funny And to Mbapes' credit

He was just like laughing it off When he's like damn Y'all are really serious The shit housing allowed Before penalties this World Cup Has been quite No one's getting yellow carded For talk about the Senegal game right

Oh yeah We have the guy My man went full field on the spot The guy Charles Pose on the spot And it was amazing because he was like, he fully just committed. It was like a three minute bit. And he was like, like, he thought if I just stay up and long enough, the game is just abandoned or something.

It was a draw. Yeah. It was on the spot. It was like, he held the game up to be like, well. Senegal with a late penalty. I know. I know. It's like, it's just, you know, it's going to be some.

But that's like to hold your nerve to bury it after that. Yeah. It was great. I love just seeing. I say, all the link. I was like, this reminds me of like that Nigerian politician who was on a corruption trial. And then he just, when they got his ass in the in the trial, he just pretended he fainted to just get out of it. They were like, sir, and he just went like this. Oh, shit.

I'm like, bro, knock this shit up. Come on, man. I was like, this is beautiful. I love this. I love this dramatic, the dramatic actions from Senegal. Anyway, so the thing that really got pretty, vile was this senator I got a the full post is fucking crazy but this Peruvian senator Celeste Amaria

just tossing out the most just some wild racist shit she said quote this brute hasn't even learned to write instead of breast milk he grew up sucking on coconuts and the most educated creatures he ever who he ever heard

were chimpanzees you should have given him the middle finger Orlando Gil, talking about the keeper, a colonized Cameroonian pretending to be French, resentful, newly rich, arrogant, and ugly. Can I just say something on that? Does it sound like she's chat CPC

to write her racist statement? That felt... Whoa. Do you know what I mean? Wait a minute. Do you know what I mean? I was just listening to that that sounds like AI.

Like it's like... It's so like picking up random racist. Do you know what I mean? We're outsourcing our racism. Yeah. It's what it sounds like. She just went, can you come up with is an N-word?

She just goes, right something. Old people like a idol. Yeah. She's like, give me a hundred racist words. And it just feels like, it's, it's, it's colonized Cameroonian. Like, whoa, whoa, whoa, what is this? She looks like a guy who ran for sheriff in L.A. last year. Was that brand?

What is that? This is, this, this woman also, she was educated in France. A lot of people are pointing out. Wow. So she knows, she's not like... Oh, so she's a hater. She didn't fall off the Paraguayan coconut cart. Okay.

She's educated. And so she knew, I think she... So a lot of people were like, she knows how to talk Western European anti-Black racism. Yeah. She was there. And then again, after this, everyone was like, Jesus Christ, lady. What the fuck are you saying? And then Killing Mbapai replied, this is what he said.

He said, Madam Celeste and Maria, you are a despicable woman and unworthy of your position. You do not represent Paraguay, the country, which has sweated passion and honor throughout the competition. Through your recklessness and your brazen racism, the entire world has already forgotten the journey and the historic effort that your players accomplished during this World Cup, making way for an incompetent woman who gives the worst possible image of her country. I will never allow people like her the freedom to spread their hatred and racism across the world. Boom. Do you know what?

Just that, that statement is very good. because he's right. These guys go and they play and they just try their best. Then can we just ban any politician from just even allowed to comment on the ars sport?

Even if it's positive. It's just shit. You cares. And when it's positive, it's like to score points too. Yeah, it's just like, shut up.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Let the guys have like done everything with the country. It's like, it's not making a race issue or a bit political. Just shut up. Perraway is a very like

unique country where they still have like the indigenous language is still part of the country's culture. I believe it's their official language. I was reading this like marriage decree from like 1814 where like the leader at the time was like, if you're a European bro,

you're not going to fuck another white person. You need to fuck one of these indigenous people or a black person because fuck all that. And a lot of people were like, oh, like pretty egalitarian. Some people were like it was purely to like dilute the power of like European colonize whatever it was. That's like the kind of shit they were on.

So then after this, whole clap back because a lot of people are like, what a fucking disgraceful. Like, because a lot of people were like, dude, they beat fucking Germany. Yeah. And now everyone's just talking about this asshole. Traditionally racist of all the countries. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But now everyone's like, yeah, like, Germany's like,

damn, they're like, good for them. All right. Then this is how she tried to cover her ass. Quote, my posts were written in the heat of the moment. My mixed race blood, the beautiful blend of indigenous and Spanish heritage that runs through my veins was boiling. Later, I regretted responding with the same insults that I myself have received

because I too have been looked down upon for being dark-skinned Latin American and as they say, call us, I don't know what this word is, Sudaka, I said of this probably a slur. I realized I was repeating the very behavior that I despised, so I deleted the post. I understand that it upset you because it was humiliating. Now, I expect you to do the same. Withdraw your remarks and apologize to me. I will not tolerate your aggression. You have no idea who I am. You have no right to say that I'm a despicable woman on up unworthy of the office I hold. This is gender-based violence, plain and simple.

It is political violence against a woman who reached her position through the votes of her people. Retract your remarks, honor your French citizenship, and apologize to me. Otherwise, I may begin legal proceedings on the grounds of gender-based violence. Sounds like the Rock wrote the second half of that statement. And that's the bottom

man. That's stone called. Yeah. Oh, no. It doesn't matter what your name is. Yeah, something like that. It's a good paraguant tactics. To the millions. I'm spinning around on. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Oh, really? And I'm sorry. And now I expect you to do the same motherfucker because I know I said some racist shit. Also calling in your heritage and your citizenship into question and then trying to weaponize that on the response to be like, you need to honor your friend's citizenship. Even though I called you a colonized Cameroonian. She releases a video that after reading Mbapé's comment. She just fell on the floor in a child's pose for several minutes. She's probably going to do that at the first.

press conference. Just starts gently rocking I guarantee you first press conference Madam Senator the

what do you have to say about the oh embopement oh hold on just just there

and then like it and you can see you're doing the thing like you know sometimes

who are checking the ref when they go like hey hey what is he looking they're looking at me are we good

are you good are you good? Is one of our eights to come over? Are you okay? Is the conference still happening? Hey,

Senator don't cover your mouth. He said, call it. It's Cameroon. I don't give a fuck. I said what I said. Whoa, whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Senator. Man, you know the chatter in the Paraguay Germany game was nuts. And they didn't understand a word each other said. All right. So, yeah, we'll see. But it's good though that you can't cover your mouth anymore. That's fixed the racism issue. Yeah, absolutely. Turns out. Almaron. Poor Almeron, he was just asking what the guy was eating at half time. Yeah, yeah, yeah. What are you ordering? What are you being a mouth?

Where you go? Which club are you going off to the game? Get out of here! The best was, there was a moment not that he covered his mouth, but there was a moment that felt like it would have been a mouth covering when Jude Bellingham noticed in Yaki Williams was playing on the Ghana team.

He was like, what did you play for Spain? There was a moment he's like, wait, bro. You play for Ghana? Like on the field and he's like, yeah, yeah, I'll play for Ghana. He was like, oh, cool. Talking of no mouth covering, just not to jump to another game, but by a mile, the funniest video I've seen so far

is the Mexican kind of, Oh, Ghiri? Gordon! Fuck you! It's the funniest. Just the thing of professional coach does that. It wasn't even if it's nil-nil. Yeah.

It's tough. Amazing. It's so funny. He said him, he goes, Gordon, fuck you. And it's great because Anthony Gordon was like, yeah, man, fuck. Yeah, that's funny.

I just have no idea that fans, that coach. That was honestly, I think, potentially the, one of the best moments of tournament. 100% even putting even the shit I saw in the field. I'm putting that

up there. Canada, Morocco, speaking of host nations going out, they lost 3-0. Yeah. Send them home.

All hosts are gone. All host nations. Canada making final 16. Come on. That's incredible for them. That's crazy. My friend, my friend Morgan Murphy,

big sports fan. We'll watch any game. I work with her. And she was, What does she say? She's put it very, very smartly in the group text about when USA got knocked out, but it applies to all of the teams.

They've been knocked out. What does you say? She said, da, da, da, da, da, da. This feels like when you were throwing a party and go to bed, while the guests are still there. Very accurate.

Yep. Very accurate. And you're like, they're like, damn, they're still here. All right. Guys, I'm going to go to bed now. Okay, cool. Are you?

Yeah. Just make sure you lock the door. We just started playing cars. When he just said, you're going to bed. Okay. all right good night see ya

uh but you wake up and they're still there like doing drugs or whatever you're like oh god all right well just when I come back from work

if you just they're like wait did you eat that chocolate bunny my friend brought that back for as a gift that wasn't for you guys to fucking eat

are you drinking shots out of the vars that my yeah father's at ash okay yeah

yeah it's a small vase there's a small vase yeah you thought it was a you thought it was a sackie a sack Oh, I didn't know.

No, okay. I thought it was like an ash-rimmed cocktail glass for the flavor profile. Tohine around the rim? Something pasty about it. Tahin is kind of great. It's actually Gary. It's a bit of Gary, my dad. Gaza!

Oh, shit. Um, yeah, so Morocco, though, Morocco, France. We love. Hey, come on now. Hey, a little racism. Yeah. Come on. A little.

It's a little bit in that one. Morocco, France. That'd be a good game, I think, actually. Gotta be. That'll be, as long as Morocco don't go two nil up,

they could get, well, they say it's the, what's the most dangerous school? It is. Especially if you're an African nation. Apparently, according to recent history. Then we have Brazil also crashing out. Brazil won, Norway,

two, Erling Holland. That first goal, bro, had Gabby's ass. They had, had that ass. And I guess Gabby's looking for him to try to, cut in front of him for a kick,

he just got... Just looked like total lack of awareness. I think who was it, Endrick maybe, who was defending on the... Like, bro, they couldn't be bothered. Also, Hendrik missed that with that... Oh, shit. The Vinny Jr., the Vinny Jr. assist,

I was like, oh, I'm watching... You've got to score. And then Endric is poor bloke has a terrible world cup. Yeah? Yeah, no, they absolutely did. What was Bruno taking the penalty for? Before you get to that?

Yeah, missed penalty. Why was he the penalty taker and not Vinny? Did anybody know? No idea. I mean, it says a lot. I mean, he must have the better. He wanted to go home and get sold to Arsenal as soon as possible. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Good idea. The, uh, but a lot of the, you know, the Brazil public are very upset. Because they look like they're playing on the counter, which is like, Brazil, was that you said, is that you put in the thing? You say, they're like a brand. They're like a brand. Are they brand or a team anymore? Are they the Tottenham? Oh, no, no, no.

Brazil's one. I immediately. I mean, he was, sorry. I didn't show you. Sorry. Sorry. You'll be actionary. Yeah. I need to do that.

And a woman statement. If you guys, I apologize, if you guys weren't playing as such cowards! Cowards! Then, you know, I wouldn't have said that. This is English-based violence against me to call this out. Brazil, yeah, it's one of those things too where like, someone said it's because they don't have Catholics on the team anymore. They're like, Ronaldo, Ronaldo, Ronaldino, fucking Rivaldo.

They're like, bro, these guys were. drunkards, womanizers, and they got out there and they had fun. And now you have all these fucking Protestants out here who are who are too chaste. They're too pure. Whatever it is, I do think that like, it feels like just overall, right? Like, the teams that do well is like, first, does your country have a national identity in terms of how you play the sport?

Like that everyone's kind of can sing from the same hymnal, like Spain does. Like Brazil used to. Like the Dutch, and most, I mean, they total full. football like the Germans like there's each team like kind of has like a way they play but then on top of that do you also have like the full buy-in of the team to play at that level and like to really feel it and it just feels like Brazil like a lot of the players just feel like they they get by on how like that the reputation precedes them and then it's just sort of like yeah man we'll show up and we'll kind of do our thing like it doesn't feel they don't feel super i don't

know there's like it's just lacking that real kind of spirit that you see in other teams it It just feels casual, which is a shame because they have a lot of talented players, but they just don't have a fucking real striker, which is always like the main thing that you need in these turn-work. Every team, almost every team that's doing well has had just a big guy turn-up. England, Kane and Bellingham, they were two. Obviously, Messi and Erling. Holland, yeah.

And then Bapé. They've all been like, and then Vinnie, like, looked, he's good, but he's, how many goals you get, two goals? Yeah, nothing crazy. It's not that they need, you need to be hitting a goal of game, like to be bringing the heat. But like I said to you guys, my dirty secret that I found out, I'm not

alone is when I was listening to Arscast and Andrew said the same thing. I mean, my son really likes Erling Harlan. And when I was watching, he just really wants, so we're watching the game. He's like, Erling Harlem, plays, Erling Holland? And then we see Erling, as he scores on Gabby, who I should love, but like I watched the replay that. It's very

impressive. He does almost nothing Harland. And then in one second, the movement is a, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then the second goal, I'm a sucker for someone scoring a banger of a goal and acting like it's the most normal thing in the world. Yeah. And I just can't, and I think it's because he's playing

for Norway. I'm like, it's okay. It's like Kane. I now plays for Bayern Munich. Right, right, right. I like Kane. He's not spurs anymore. And because I don't see him in the Man City shirt, he just seems very like a real person. Yeah, yeah, yeah. He's definitely captured

the imagination. I heard dudes in the gym talking about Erling Holland. They're like, yeah, dude, these guys are fucking animals, you guys are fucking beast, dude. Yeah. And I see a lot of people who are like, oh, okay. I get, I get, I get the appeal of early Holland because there's definitely a lot of, like, fucking racist, like, white people who were like, I love this guy, man.

This guy's, like, showing, showing them how it's done. There's a little, there's a little. But I think also, I also see that he is, like, just, like, a memeable guy. And I think that also makes it easier to, like, really like him. and also, yeah, like the city baggage aside, like the guy's good, he's a fantastic player, and it is easier, and I think it's only easier for me to see like that

because Martin Odegaard is playing alongside him. Like, it's almost like Odegaard is like, he's like, guys, he's with me. I know he's with that other set, but... He's cool, he's cool. He's like, he's my people. He's not going to be stupid, bro. Can I give you my logic?

I think I was trying to sleep the other night, I was like, I like him, and I'm not really allowed to like him, but then I was like, if it wasn't for his sort of, quite, the way he plays the game is like he's not dirty, he doesn't try tricks. If it wasn't for who he was,

I don't think Arsenal would have won the league. Because if he goes down in the game against Cissy for Arsenal, when Gabby does the head-on-head thing, nine times out ten, every player goes down, Gabby sent off. He misses three games, Arsenal don't win those games about school. Arsenal absolutely concede a goal in those games, like 100%.

So because of his way he plays the game and he just likes the battle and the fun of it, I've convinced myself that he's why Arsenal on the league. And therefore, damn, therefore I subscribe to his only fans now. Wow. This guy's gone. We lost him.

We lost him. We lost him. We lost him. I think Erling Halligan still burning hell, but the boy is bowling. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I wish him nothing but death. I hate him. Guys.

But he, that boy, just because he looks like the future. There's no need to. where our genes have regressed Yeah, man, it was a, it's unfortunate I was watching with a group of people who I did not know at all Who were very pro-Norway Very anti-Namar

They weren't just like, hey, Holland's so great They were also like, Namar sucks. Fuck him. I mean, that's true. Why is he still trying to, you know what, I got to shoot Namar some bail.

He was talking that shit Because he was trying to get some more time on the clock. Yeah, I know. It's the corrupt World Cup. I know. It's our last chance. I'm just trying to get those are a couple more kids.

That penalty was never, so again, another var thing. That's a tough one. That's not a pen. No. It's the classic, all the ex-prose guy,

try jumping without lifting your arms. Just try around that. You get an inch off the ground. It's impossible. That's never a penalty. It's never, it's never a penalty. Anyway, whatever.

I was like, I get that you're also trying to get everybody bodd in again. But I was like, there's minus one minute left. Yeah, I was like, sir, unless like we're playing like, you know, bonus balls

and like FIFA were, you know, outside the box shots count for two or something like that. It ain't happening. Yeah, just, I don't know. It's, it is weird. I just, like, the first World Cup I really paid attention to was 94. And Brazil won and I was like,

Brazil's fucking good. Then 98 with fucking Ronaldo going all that final against France. I'm like, dude, this fucking team. Like, those two World Cups got me so into the sport. and specifically Brazilian soccer I was like this shit is fucking tight

2002 they fucking win I'm like bro this fucking Ronaldino that go on again David Seaman Woo Anyway I had a different reaction to that Yeah yeah yeah it's fine

You cow what But And he's just like Safe hands Yeah Nice more like shit man's But like but like there's something

Yeah, like it just, there's, I don't know. I don't know what it is that has to be reactivated in that country. You are right, they lack the, that one of the, there's something about the Samba, that kind of vibe. Well, it got spread out too much. In Portuguese, that magic is what they call it. There's no fucking jinga in this team anymore. I think it's just blown out because, I mean, they're playing all over the place.

I don't know. I mean, I guess Brazil's got a long history of pros playing in Europe. You're blaming immigration. I think I'm blaming immigration. Go on, fan. Yeah, go on. I just think, I don't know, man. Brazil seems like a country where if most of the team was playing in Brazil,

it might have a different field. I mean, get a couple of days and all of the team. Do that work for the U.S. national team? Hell not. Catholic. Hang on. Robert Carlos is Brown-M-M-M-M-Aid.

Well, what is it? Something about the player isn't stylish anymore. He's straightforward. I mean, they had to play, I mean, again, I'm not stealing this, but they said it on the Rascars. They were like, played Martinelli,

who we, you know, he shouldn't have started. He's playing at number 10. He played fine, but he's not like, it's him or packet, packet hard. Neither of them are Ronaldini.

Yeah, yeah. It's like they're working. Who's the guy? You need a, you need a good 10, I think, in this. And like,

Belling is a very different 10, but is like, is the guy. Right. But thinking about, like, how Odegaard, for all the attention, Holland got,

and he should for scoring the goals. Odegaard was fucking bossing that entire midfield. And even Ancelotti, who was it Vinny, all their players are like, bro, Martin Odegaard was fucking, we had no answer for him. Turns out when he's in form. Yeah, exactly.

It helps when he's playing with Holland. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I know he who shall remain. It was funny seeing, I was going on the Man City. I was going on the City subreddit. It's okay, Chris. And a lot of, like, people in the City,

so they're so fucking dumb. like, we should probably get some of these Norway players. Wow. Think about how good Holland will play with them. You mean Oscar Bob? You asshole. I'm like, what are you fucking? What?

That is not the solution. You're talking about it. I know. I love how it's just so transposable like that. You're like, you take that. And then you do that here. And then that's the best thing. I've got my in a WhatsApp group of awesome.

And anytime anyone who I've critiqued, like, you know, does something good, I've got this guy going, this is what, like, I mean, Oda got playing, but I'm like, yeah, but they're playing the up, everyone's playing at half speed to the Premier League. I always think of Carol Paborski. Whenever I'm like, you know, he scooped the ball over and it looked kind of fun as a goal, but then Mani bought him and he was ass. So you're just like, you can't.

Or like Eric Jamba, jemba? Yeah. Remember that one? Just don't fall for the World Cup. But there is a lot of players that are turning up who are backed up in the league, but this can't be your one litmus test. Well, now I have to ask you both. Okay.

Oedegard, still want to sell him? No, I don't think. I don't want to sell him. No. I don't know. I think he need, we need him in the squads, but I don't think he should be the intro. I don't think he should be like, like every week he starts.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. He brings us a, anyway, we don't want to get to Arsenal a little, but he brings up a keep ball and a way of playing, but I don't know if he's the magic 10. He's the magic to the press. Like, he does provide these things that make us so much better, but no, I don't think, no, we can't, no, no, no. He needs to be there.

He needs to be there. We just need to spend more money. Works for me? Yeah, we'll see. Yeah. Okay. Elsewhere. We talk about the hat you're wearing, mate.

This team. England, we've been kind of alluding to it. I thought that there would be a lot more English listeners on this podcast. And Miles checked the stats. And including me and him, that almost doubles the amount of English. You got to do some more lifting, though tell your people. I tell my people.

How? By the social media. Just shrieking by the sea. You can. Go on across the Atlantic Listen to it Yeah Come on

Come on Harry Potter train He put the flowers He put some flowers On the Harry Potter train So Mexico two England three Dude England goes up

Two nil Fucking Within two minutes 36 and 38th minute I go Oh Then it was I was sort of like

Wait hold on This is Mexico playing I don't know How you guys felt But I was like Mexico Like when it was time I think

in the commentary, they're like, the third goal has to be from Mexico. And I was like, yeah, no shit. And it feels like it's about to happen. Boom, it happens.

We're at 2.1. You're like, okay, this is interesting. Then we get a red card. Yeah. Jarrel Kwanza. What did you think of that?

What did you think of that? I mean, it's a classic, like, as soon, there was every, I think they got every decision right, but like,

I was having a debate with someone at work, and he's like, VAR, slang it down. It's not what VAL's for, but like, you know, I watched it and you know when you go, I hope that's right, and then went back.

As soon as you see the radio, he's going to get set off. It doesn't matter who touched the ball. We've seen enough rules. It's a crazy tackle to do. And I'm so glad for him that we won because I just, you just shudder to think at what the

racist abuse would have been. The red tops in the UK are going to write about him. Because I remember like when Beckham in 98 and then how it ruined his life. Then it was like Beckham, he's going to have a, you know, like an arc. He has an arc. I was like, I don't think

Gerald Kwanza is going to have a hero out of the year. He's never going to play for England again. Because what was it? I feel like Beckham's redemption was like their free kick against Greece to get into the World Cup 2002 World Cup.

That was like sort of the moment. And he scores a penalty against Argentina. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But I'm watching that going, and then when we go three one up. Yeah. So firstly when we go two and a lot, I'm like, going to win.

Oh my God, win the game. I went into the game not confident. I'm watching the game, Fox and Hounds. very English part. The hour delay also. The hour delay, it's building it up, but it's all whatever, and then it's like, I'm chatting to it. I'm chatting to

an Uber driver called Juan, lovely guy who's Mexican, because you English, I'm Mexican, he's trying to get home to watch the game. And it was funny, we both have this real modest off where I was like, I think you guys are going to win. And he goes, oh, I think England are a powerhouse. You both didn't want to touch that shit. I'm not jinxing. I don't want to jinx.

You guys are definitely going to win. Oh, no, no. It's literally it. And I go, you've only lost twice in a hundred years. don't lie to me you're going to win and he's like look at the fucking stat line yeah I just show him and he goes well

you're a powerhouse and then he goes I'm like nothing he just does the thing of going I just hope it's a good game and I'm like

I reckon it's probably going to be like 1-0 and then after like obviously like half time I'm like well I'm my head's on Mars and I'm wrong but we go 2-0 up

and I'm like jabbing around the pub going crazy and then they score so quick and then as soon as they score it was like England's completely it was just like get to half time.

Yeah, yeah. Because they were completely on the rack. And they got to half time and I'm like, you know it's that classic, just keep it simple. And then once Kwanza gets sent off, I'm like, we're screwed. And we score the goal. What a blessing for that penalty. And Gordon, I thought Gordon was phenomenal.

What a great game he had in general. Bellingham was obviously good. Kane was great. Saka, I'm watching Saka going, you look injured, but then his assists amazing for the first. He's still got, you can see him, he's having to do something, manage something, but he can still pull out those moments.

Go through one up. I'm like, all right, good. And then as soon as the guy goes down in the box of Keynes, I'm like, and then they go back to the replay. But it takes so long to recheck the replays. And as soon as I see it, I'm like, and it's annoying, but it's like literally England got a penalty for that same thing against Croatia. When, uh, when Unix, I'm like, that's a goal.

And then you're like, what's, uh, what's Jimenez's his record? Never, never missed a penit. Never missed. Never missed one. Ever. Secret handhead. What's that? He said, hold on, bro. Let me get my. Yeah, let me get my ham out.

Yeah, let me get a secret slice of ham. a bite of check my notes. Jam on and see what I'm this shit. Let me check my notes real cold this shit, Jordan. But then, and just so you know as well, I don't know if you, I was texting you about the commentary, but funny things were, when I was watching the Antitina game with Francesca, she did a funny thing reminding me of you. She goes, they don't have Telemundo on?

I have to listen to the English commentary. I was like, I go, yeah, I go, well, I've got, I mean, most of us have no choice. We're just, I'm not bilingual. Yeah. She goes, but she goes in Telemundo. Well, I don't know last time I checked, grew in America. Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, exactly.

I'm sorry. This is the country that my people fought hard to lose a long time ago. But she goes, well, on Telemundo,

they're just talking the whole time. I go, what? She goes, there's like, loads of periods of the game

just watch the game for a bit. It sounds like, I've not watched telemonde. They're just like guys are just chatting the whole time. Oh yeah. It builds up the atmosphere. Yeah,

it's like you're an auctioneer. Yeah, every pass is discussed to describe. Which I guess is, it makes it more exciting. So anyway, that's in my head a little bit.

Then I'm listening to Owen Hargreves in his weird Canadian, English German accent. And then at one point he just goes, he goes, altitude, it's just in the mind, the altitude. And I was like, I think it's a physical thing. No, no, it's in the air. He's never played there.

There's like doctors saying it's literally a physical condition. They're taking, they're giving each other bonus to try and win the game. Everybody keeps bringing up England and, like you think Mexico doesn't have access to dick pills? Yeah, yeah, yeah. We're covered all. Everyone can take dick pills. We've got big pills, but it was like, I can see it was, probably what he meant underneath that was like, it was so much to, so it was like the altitude, they have beat through juice

and then, and then is, is it raining? Does that make it less of an effect? And then, who was the, can you find out of the main commentator was? Because he said two things. Fletcher? Was it Darren Fletcher? No, the, is that the main guy? He's, no.

It's been hard-darence in Fletcher who used to play. No, like the main guy, not the, I mean the main commentator, because he said, he said, it is, everyone's talking about the altitude, but. It's really about what attitude they've got. And you could tell he'd written that the night before. He was going to be good. I was like, that's bad. He thought he snapped right there. And then I was, I kind of lost it when, talk about, um, accidental racism, whatever.

When twice he thought Jed Spence was Ezzer. And if you want to give him the white guy pass on, he's confused two black guys with kind of the same hair. I was like to you guys, he's the one guy with a chin strap on his face. The guy's wearing half a helmet. He's literally wearing a helmet. And you're like, come on, man. Just the bottom head. It's like.

quite an identifying marker. Yeah. Nobody else has this shit on. Nobody else has it. Unless if you said Jimenez, Oda would have made more sense. Sure. He plays a different team,

but he's got some facial. It was just Darren Fletcher and Owen Hargre? That's what I thought. That's this thought. It's a different Darren Fletcher to the ex-pro, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not former United teammates. Darren Fletcher.

As is on. Why is he playing a left bat of a chin strap on his face, mate? Because it's not him. It's a different guy. It was annoying me so much. And then England are three two down. And I'm just,

by the thing, I'm doing anything to distract me from, that was the tensest watching of a game ever. But I was texting my mate going, as an Arsenal fan, I've seen this game state many times under our tenter. And to be fair, I thought they managed the game really well, England.

And they just made it compatible. And then Mexico just kept, they couldn't do anything apart from ping it in the box. Dan Byrne comes on, head as it past the halfway line. Come on. Nasty bastard. Underrated, impressive thing to do.

That's such a big. big header. Yeah. And then there was that moment where Stone's just about got it past the post. There wasn't really many, like, like, Pickford was good, claimed the ball well,

punched the ball well. I did not think Pickford was going to have that good of a game. No, he played well. He played well. He played well. He did well. The stop on the Jimenez,

the header at the beginning? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. No, he, it was, yeah,

I thought Mexico kind of didn't really have an answer at the end. But I would, but if Mexico score, it's game over, because I'm like, we've taken Kane off at this point. Everybody's like, covered in piss.

Everyone's covered in piss. It's all defenders out there. Taking the piss. It's in the sun. Print it. Just a piss bag to the fucking job. They were all talking of annoying people at the pub. There was a woman.

Everyone's English. It's an English pub. One American woman. Wow. Who, if you're this person, loudly, she was wearing, like, she goes,

I go, who you're supporting it? She goes, look at the hat. And she's like, kind of had a sombrero, and I got, oh, I thought you were just a white woman

scared of the sun. Yeah, that was just your beach. that was your bit. That's your UV protection. Yeah, that's what it was. And then she was like,

no, and then where Mexico scores, she's like loudly, just so overly, I'm like, don't be like, if you're in England, like,

you get fucking glass. It's all about taking a piss. You've been fucking smashing every one's best right now. Via a pint glass smashing. But, so I was extra happy when we won and then she was sad.

Just because it was just the, it was the brazen confidence. You're throwing beer on her. Yeah. Yeah. You're like, oh, please. Listen, salute to England.

Y'all are the real white people. America take note, man. Yeah. Y'all showed us how it's done. I show you how to do this, son. Something on stones and Dan Byrne. Yeah. It gets no lighter, man.

Dan Byrne, like, getting his little 10 minutes of glory. That was like perfect game state for him. And then Belling him. Let's just, can we just take it? It's funny that pre-World cup, like, is he a bit too confident or cocky to play rings him? Fucking nuts. The guy is like the most complete midfieler in the tournament, right?

He does everything. Every fucking thing. And he's clutch. Yeah. He does everything. I'm like, yeah, he's phenomenal. Like, yeah, as much as he... Only Roy Kaine believed.

Like, early in the group stage, just like the energy around Bellingham was like. It's very... You know, the Irish have always had the backs of black people. It's fair. It is true. Yeah, there's an uncomfortable truth to the English guys. He's just a bit too.

Yeah. He's a bit too confident. Too flashy. Of course it's comfortable. It's a guy on the team. It's funny because, as an American, this is like late 80s sports racism. To us.

We're like, bro, we've... Y'all are in the 80s still talking Randall Cunningham had to deal with this. Right, right. Yeah, yeah. Video game technology is like, we'll see how he does if he can memorize that playbook. And you're like, the fuck?

Yeah. Watch him throw the fucking ball. This is eight-bit racism. Right, right, right. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's like, Ken Griffey Jr., he's got that hat backwards. I don't know what he thinks this sport is. Yeah, like, Jesus Christ, bro.

It's just funny, yeah, yeah, yeah. But Bellingham doing his fucking things, silencing everybody. I didn't hear what Ferdinand said after he, he, he, did you see when when Bellingham referenced the past England's squads crumbling. Oh, no, I didn't see that.

Yeah, just after the game, he was like, hey, man, it's a great night. I mean, one of the biggest wins in England history. I remember watching World Cups when I was younger and the England team kind of crumbling. Yeah, I remember Frank Lamppost. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just glad we're doing something different. I like, he's a man of the people, because he did say, they said any, is, what I say at the end of the game?

Because in England, it was on it, it was an hour late, starting at two in the morning, finished at four. Four, yeah. And he's like, any, any, and the prime minister here, who's now stepping down. Yeah. He got the pubs to be open until five,

especially for the game. Oh, like they changed the hours. They say the license hours. It's like, it's the only, it's the, yeah,

mate. We literally said that. All the dealers were like, bro, they, oh shit. Hey, all right.

I'm going to make it down. He's got my vote now. We're giving out free burner phones. I mean, how else do you think they're a wait or two in the morning? We'll be providing phone for anyone

to need to them. And then, uh, anything you want to say the fans back home, have another shot. Have another shot. Yeah. Catch you. But watching the clips of like the fan zone, whatever the feed they had, and they'll just

losing it and they're like, it's 403 in the morning. I know, yeah. Imagine he stayed up, though, and then seen us like lose on pens or something like that. It would be so terrible. So it's also, and you've also seen that everyone thinks that Anthony Gordon looks like Princess Diana, right? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah.

I feel like when the season was happening, I shared that meme of like how he's done nearly every phase of Princess Diana's hair from a slick back dude to a nice little quaff. he's got them all. I do have to say, though, Dan Byrne, in my estimation, is directly responsible for the hoarding disaster that claimed the arm

of Jordan Henderson. Who would have been activated the hoardings? We activate the hoardings, dude. Hordeaux! You guys are like, Watson advertising hoarding. The advertising hordings. You know my name now, bitch.

You know my name. I'm injuring people now. That's why Jordan Henderson can't type good anymore. wrist all fucked up. I mean, I feel so baffiring, but thank God the hoarding, the sacrificial lamb of the hoarding was the man who's not going to play any man who's the most aged guy ever. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Was purely the heart guy.

If it had taken Belling him out. I blame him because if you watch the clip, right, the issue was Dan Byrne is six-up and seven. And he just hopped over that shit casually is just. Oh, and so he hypes up. So Jordan's like, I'm going to do it too. It was like, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh, Dan did that shit? Watch this.

Incidentally, on Burn, you know, as a defender, you're told to always header the ball up. On Dan Burns' header, he actually headers it down because he's so big, it's still a very good header because his down is still above everyone else's head. Oh, so, oh, yeah, you're right. Burn makes it. Oh. Yeah. Are you doing far away, my boy.

Dan Burr said, yeah, eat light work. Oh, boy. He said, I'm 5-9 or however old. Jordan Anderson is. And so I blame him. The hoardings. I can't believe the hoardings have become such a big feature of the World Cup now. Yeah, they got mentioned like multiple times after you said.

Grusome injury. I mean, poor guy. His shit, I texted you guys. It's like his forearm bone was made of like the cardboard core of a paper towel roll. Like, you just went, I got some inside information. I don't know if this is true or it was a joke. There's someone I know who they. I love just the setup.

I got some inside information. It's the funniest use of information. I said, someone, I know someone who might know someone who might know someone who knows Dan Byrne. And I was like, how is he feeling after that thing? And I go, he's drawn a big Willie on Henderson's cast. Okay.

There we go. Bro, the team's reaction was, we're good. Yeah, yeah. I mean, Declan Rice and John Stone's playing pranks. Yeah, yeah, yeah. In the fucking locker room. Did you see that clip? No.

Henderson's getting surgery. They're joking around. fucking sweating. Yeah, he was scared Oh, hold on. Yeah, I gotta show this to you. They're dancing in the locker room. This is like 20 minutes after that happened.

He's got a broken arm. Yeah. I was too distracted by Harry Kane's interview to see it. I mean, the funniest post-match. I actually do. I need to watch that too. He's like, oh, my shoulder. They're trying to get him,

they're trying to get his attention for a while. Yeah, they're like, and Tugu, huh? Boss is das? Boss, look. Shoulder. Shoulder. He's, ah.

Ooh. The problem is they're waiting for the beat to drop and then he does it. And then Tuchul's just loving it. He ain't even mad. Tugul is not even mad. Again, I love him because he's so deceptively tall. You forget that this dude's like fucking six, however fucking six foot two or six foot three. He's just so. He looks like small in stature and then he's standing next somebody like, you're big. So anyway, England, moving on, quarterfinals.

We're going to get to them in a second. Because we got to take a break. When we come back, we do have to round out the last match, which was Portugal versus Spain. And we'll do that right after this. Listen. And you're there. For heart-wrenching knockouts.

Because you're getting a staggering amount of health and wellness information nowadays, and some of it is awesome. And some of it is, well, actually, bullshit.

Fortunately, where both people who know how to read studies, parse data, and can tell you what's worth trying out and what you can safely ignore. Each episode, we tackle the health news of the week and then take a deeper dive into a misunderstood health and wellness topic like... What's the deal with peptide? What's the deal with GLP once? What's the deal with creatine? What's the deal with cupping?

What's the deal with sleep? So join us for a weekly dose of sanity. It might actually be just what the doctor... Or the economist. Ordered.

This time I'm diving into a rabbit hole of peptides, organoids, blood boys, blue zones, and brain replacement to try to understand what this longevity obsession is all about. And what it really means to live forever, for all of us. I learned about some rad science. I can make a brain for you, and then we can test what draw is the best for your brain. A suppose to his brain. Here's some hard truths. I would expect Indians to age faster, but I did not expect it to be almost a four to five year acceleration.

And get myself into a world of trouble. I'd say probably start bones smashing. That doesn't work. To make it look more defined. They say it works. I don't know. Listen to Skyline Drive, How to Live Forever on the IHeart Radio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

And we're back. So the last match, just to round out the round of 16, Portugal, Spain. I honestly thought this would, I thought Spain would score more, to be honest. Oh, yeah. But they did it because of super Mikhail Marino coming off the bat. I think someone, I saw someone tweeted that was just like, they're like, I don't even know why we're doing this. Just get to the part where Marino comes on and scores. And lo and behold, 91st minute, Mikkel Marino scores.

A goal that was great as Arsenal fans because it looked like Bruehers. Bruno Fernandez was complaining to the ref, and because of it completely loses track of where Marino's going, not that he was manmarking him, but just completely checked out the next phase of play begins, and then Marinos are standing on goal. And fucking, again, people were posting the Ronaldo memes with him with the fucking triangle forehead cut.

He's, he's, he's, unbelievable for that. He is nothing but clutch. He's not fast. He's not that technical. No. He's just good, solid. He's like, get the clutch. the ball near my feet or head and I can score

it somehow. I'll do it. Spain hasn't conceded a single fucking goal this tournament. Also wait, correct me if I'm wrong. Real Associated had him as a holding midfielder for years. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And now he's scoring?

Who the fuck is running the club over there? I mean, it's all, I think it's all really borne out of especially the Artata survival striker role where they're like, crazy. Hold on, bro. Yeah. Mikkel, do that shit us too real quick. You got a sweet left for you doing that? Yeah yeah yeah go on because in the euros he was like scoring off set pieces like he was crashing the box and scoring like as a midfielder

but like now there you know he definitely has the space to go to go forward of it. And five sides you just give him the ball one touch. Yeah yeah every time. And again to my point about like do you have a national identity and is everybody bought in Spain does feel like they're like yeah guys we do this. That was the most I was watching that guy that's the most Spain goal I've ever seen in my life. Yeah it was just like pink ping ping ping ping pink. Pinball your ass. Bing, Bing, Bing. As the president would say.

And yeah, they're scoring. And bye-bye, Portugal. Bye-bye, Christian. What an embarrassing... What an embarrassing... What an embarrassing... Kicking him when he's down. Yeah, bye-bye to Renato.

What an embarrassing... It was. It was. It was an embarrassing... An embarrassing... embarrassing way of presenting yourself a World Cup. Roberto Martinez has no backbone. He just put Renaud.

I mean, Howard. Coward. He is. What the hell is going on? It makes no, like, that makes no sense to me.

It's just like, it's, I feel so, the other players must be like, it's like, you know, when you're just trying to get rid of that guy and who's latched onto the group,

like, yeah. Yeah, we're all going to go to home now. We're going to tell the World Cup is somewhere else. You guys go back into the bar. And then the guy comes back. He says, hey, I was tracking.

I thought you guys were going home. That is Ronaldo. Because none of them, they all know. Everyone knows. Most people on Earth, no, it seems. He used to be phenomenal, but you can't, there's no way. Like, Messi in Argentina, it just about works. Just about works.

I mean, by just about, he's got eight goals. So he's still doing it. Ronaldo, was that the stat? Vazenia has completed more dribbles in the knockout phases. No. No way. He completely two dribbles against Argentina. Wow.

And you're just like, what do you do? It's just like, I feel bad. I just feel really bad for the other players. They had to like placate this guy's ego. And then you can tell when he, the game's over and what's Ronaldo saying? I've won your 26. It's basically the same. And then he said, he said Portugal, I won anything until I started playing.

So it's like, well, he said, I have won three titles for Portugal. Before Cristiano. This mother. Is he coming in the nation's league? Is that what the third one is? person. Yeah. When you step into the third, bro,

get you a turd. Okay. Before Cristiano, Portugal hadn't won any titles. I'm happy. The truth is that the biggest title I won with the national team was in 2016, the Euros, which for me has the same magnitude as a World Cup,

honestly. So I leave with a clear conscience, and that's it. Tomorrow will be a new day and life will go on. So I don't think you understand the meaning of a clear conscious. Yeah, yeah. Like,

that's like if you've, like, submitted as something like it means you've done some wrong. You guilt. You feel guilt. I think he feels guilty for that bum-ass take saying that the Euro has the same magnitude as a World Cup for a European country. Get the fuck out of here. Nobody's, nobody ever

believes that. Can you Google Christiana Ronaldo? If I want to check if this is true before we put it on tape. 9-11? No, yeah, Christiana. Yeah, talk to us. Cristiano Ronaldo. That was a good clip. Paid people to

trash messy online. Oh, Pays, messy haters. Yeah. That does feel, this feels like, this could be, like Waggate. This feels like Waggate. With like Colleen. I want to know if I don't want to go on, on the record. Was that also, yeah, that was.

Everything else I've said is ignorant and wrong, but for some reason this. I don't want him to be, I don't need to be going on my videos. I'm already struggling to get enough views online. I don't need Ronaldo's team on my videos. Well, you know he's looking too. You know he's going to find it. Yeah, he's Googling his own name. They're, I see, like, sort of,

found like a lot of Facebook accounts are posting something about his team was like they were cut. Brian let's snip Brian just snip out most of the things I said on this podcast or just isolate those and the whole show can be those things Dominican Republic of Congo and Rinaldo's underhanded PR tactics that are 100 but no I am seeing a lot there

as Christiana Ronaldo's team accused of paid promotions against Argentina and Messey. This is because someone is showing a supposed ad, like a ad, a job listing. Hi, we've been following your account on Twitter. Love the way you blah blah, blah. With the FIFA World Cup around a corner word, we want a high impact content application campaign. We love to have influential foot of voices like you. Apparently they're saying this was where the door opened to be like talk about, talk bad about that issue. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Anyway, but it's one of those things you're like,

I'd believe it. Because the guy's pathological. Like his ego. is, it's like he went like three clicks past Kobe and now he's like, he's actually just mentally ill and inert as a athlete because he's he's so lost in this house. Kobe knew how to just be

regular crazy. Well he got hurt at the right time. Yeah, yeah, exactly. He might have just continued to be crazy. Yeah, that is true. That is true. But at least he did have a humbling Achilles injury. What was he, what's he going to do next? That's the thing. Ooh, he is in a he isn't a fighting game. Maybe he goes that route.

Guy starts going at conventions. Does he fight? No, he's just in a game. He's in a, what's the new final fight? Oh, a video game. He's in a video game. He's in final fight? Yeah, yeah.

They rebooted final fight? No, Fatal Fury. Oh. Fatal Fury is also. They rebooted Fatal Fury. Like a fucking old man. Grisciano Ronaldo is a character. He wears a Portugal uniform.

He kicks a soccer ball at people. He's definitely been a few different skins in video games. Like, wasn't he in Fortnite too? Yeah. He's definitely getting invited. He's running around with an assault rifle is Cristiano Ronaldo. He's definitely going to go the route of John Claude Van Dam where he gets befriended by like a rich person in Eastern Europe

and they pay him to just come and have a score goals. Score goals at their party. Right, right, right. How much per goal? A million dollars a kick. Yeah. All right. Hey, we do that free kick you did against Porto.

Yeah. Cool, quick. Oh, yeah. You liked that one? That was a bang. Chrisiana, you go and goal and I'm going to score and you're not allowed to say. No. It's 10 million dollars.

He's like, fine. He's still struggling with it. He lets you go in and goes, it doesn't matter. I've saved loads of goals in my career. Yeah. Actually, let's run that back one more time.

Do it and take your pants off, ho. Please, man. Cristiano, what I say, man, 10 million more.

Okay. Why won't anybody on Portugal tell him to sit down? Why isn't there anybody who will tell him to sit down? He is it when there was a goat debate of this generation.

Is he the captain? Yeah. He's the fucking captain. Of course he's the fucking captain. When he got subbed off against Crozier and then what's his face came on thingy Garcia as it came on and then

scored for essentially the winner and he did not join it. You're just like, what is guy? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. That's your, you're, yeah, that can't be the captain. No. And that's just poisoning the entire anyway, but that's why you're like, guys, this guy

is a fucking cancer in the locker room and you're wondering why you're not getting anything out of them. And also, it also had the players like Bernardo and Bruno and being like, man, like yeah, sure, dude. We're on your team. Because, yeah, you weren't doing shit. It's like, Onsarge, isn't it really?

You have to, like, in terms of like, what's the rich guy? What's the rich, famous guy want to do? Okay, I guess we'll be. Yeah, yeah. But it's like entourage in that Rinaldo is Johnny Drama. Mm-hmm. And he's like, no, guys, I still got it. They're like, bro, no.

It's about Vinny Chase. Mm-hmm. Not Johnny Drama. And that does mean he is going to try to get on for 2030. Yeah. You think he's going to try to coach? I think he's going to try to play. 45 years.

Yeah, he's gonna be like, I'll put me on the bench. Fuck it. Just for penalty shootouts. What if he demands it, like, even though he's well past it, they're like, he just needs to be on the roster in the hopes of winning a World Cup? They're like, bro. They're like, the full John Terry comes on and celebrates.

Yeah, I could see that. Yeah, yeah, yeah. They're like 23. You don't really need 23. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You don't need 23. Nah. You're like 22, right.

He would probably lobby FIFA to change the rules, so you could just come on and take penalties. Right, right, right. So this is a penalty sub. Designated penalty taker. Like, I think you have it in men. in hockey, not in ice hockey, that you guys would call hockey. In field hockey, you can just come on, take a penalty.

I don't watch that crap. I watch hockey now that the World Cup's over. Yeah, yeah, exactly. And by over in the U.S. was the guy who texted me. Don't my wrap around shades. Yeah. It was me. It was me. Which is funny because I played hockey the most out of any fucking sport I've ever played. Who the fuck out of you? People don't know this about me. I was, I think I'm pretty sure I was a first Blazian hockey player out here.

Wow. Check the fucking stat books. 1988. I'm on the fucking set. Burbank, Calabank, California. What? Wow. That's tight. All right. 1988?

Yeah. How old are you? 41. Oh, okay. I'll be 42 this year. No, so in 1980s. No, so in 1980s, you were four. You were four.

Yeah. And you were the gun? You were the goat? You were the goat? No, no, I was not an offensive player. I was a defense man. Okay. And I fucking loved it.

Just the idea of seeing a four-year-old smashing people. Yeah. I feel so young. Oh, man. Crazy. Yeah. Anyway, hockey's sick, brother. I'll tell you that, man.

And so was that Holland guy from a great country, Norway. Good people. Good stock over there. Good fish. Anything else before we skedaddle? I guess just to recap, so that means who the fuck is actually in the quarterfinals now? So that means we have France, Morocco, Spain, Belgium, Norway, England, and Argentina, Switzerland. Hello, UEFA.

And one South American team and one African team. Yeah, Europe is, I've shown you this work up a lot of the big European. I thought the weather and stuff would be an issue but hasn't really been that pretty much they all turned up man I think once death when I got that first sunburn he was like okay I'm not fucking yeah I very English I went to the beach before I watched the game on Sunday

and look a flipping sunburner how the fuck did you get burned up there? I applied twice I reapplied twice that is the weirdest fucking sunburn yeah I know I know that's crazy I went to Hawaii and I came back the same looking I know shout out melanin that's amazing our sponsor for this week yeah sir yeah yeah Hey, Melanin, get you something.

Speaking of, I guess I'd like to give a salute to Italy. I know you guys really don't want a lot of African teams in. I hope you guys enjoyed watching them all lose from the couch. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Who was it, Gattuso? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, hold that, Reno. Yeah. What did he say?

Well, you just said there shouldn't be that many African teams. Too many Africans. You know what I mean? You got the Democratic Republic, Dominican, Congos, bro. What the freak is this? I feel like I'm watching the movie Congo right now. Oh, my God.

You know what? I don't know if you guys noticed. There was this Egyptian lady, this like Egyptian mom fan lady, just an old lady desperately trying to send a text after the first goal in the Argentina, Egypt game. Like she couldn't even celebrate. She was like, they just cut her in the crowd like, oh shit. I got to sit my nephew this.

Go be in the fucking moment. Yeah. Be in the moment. Making a Facebook post. Predictions. France to be Morocco. Wow. I think he's be tight.

Yeah, they faced off last World Cup. I'm going to go penalties. Oh, France. Okay. I kind of agree. Spain and Belgium? I mean, Belgium was good against us,

but they also played simple as fuck. Like, we were going to have Matt for you. They just went over the top. Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know what I'm saying? And Spain has a real goalie. Like, you can't just play over the top with Spain. They've got,

they'll just take the ball from you. And they've got the best fucking keeper in the world on the bench. They'll just take the ball and keep it for the rest of the game. Gotta go with Spain. Spain, for sure. Definitely. Chris? You know what I'm going to ask?

I know what I'm going to ask. I think I'm going to go. I am a bit worried about the defense with Harland against them. As bearing in mind, Raul Jimenez causes us quite a lot of issues and he's not. And even though you have a couple of defenders that are familiar with his game. I think Reese James is back, which is big. That is a big thing. so I think

England I just feel like Belling him and I just feel like we've got a couple more game winners I think England will win crazy to just

have to see Deck and Marty fucking face off against each other also like Declan who's like I'm in so much pain and he just plays and they take off

Elliot Anderson and keep him I'm like this guy's machine when he's like I'm having so much nerve pain I'm like

get him out of there I know What are you fucking doing? I think England 2-1. England 2-1. What do you guys reckon? More neutral than me?

I think, I think 3-2. England. I'm going to say England and penalties. Yeah. So many do feel like that. And also Norway of like, I do think, who knows, I might be wrong, but they've never, they'd never want a knockout game until the game before last in the World Cup. So I just think like, if it gets like tense, I do think that like,

England have been there, done that, got to finals. I think that will take him, but I do think Holland scores. I don't see a world. Yeah, Holland is down scoring. It just feels like every one of the big players is scoring, so I feel like he'll score, Kane will score. They have to. And then Argentina, Switzerland?

So Switzerland kind of hasn't been that good on offense, but I'm kind of, it's like they have all of these chances. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Just give me Switzerland. They got nothing going forward. And I don't know. Argentina just. I think they'll get. Either Argentina is going to win

like in a heartbreaking fashion or lose in heartbreaking fashion like truly like. I mean I could see Jacquesa getting sent off. I could absolutely see him getting sent off for sure. But I just say I think I feel this is this is one this is a good one for Argentina to build up their confidence again before a semi-final.

You're saying Switzerland's not ready for the coming bowl. I'm saying Switzerland is not ready for whatever the fuck Messi is up to. Sure. Because I don't know bro. I mean he's just can't. That guy scored eight goals, right? Yeah. He's literally the guy.

And missed two penalties, which is crazy too. He missed two? He missed two penalties. Yeah. Wild. All right. Well, he's like Shaq. He's the one thing he's not good at is the free throw.

He's exactly like Shaq. Yeah. And every single way. You got the messed up toe and everything. Yeah. No. Do you. Have you seen Shaq's feet?

No. Google that. Okay. Listeners. You're welcome. All right. Well, until next time. Anything to plug?
