  Speaker 1: This podcast called twenty five way Yes, let me get going,
• 0:11
  Speaker 1: Let it get going. It's a podcast called twenty five
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Wist Souls.
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: I was confused because I know we said sports, but
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: then someone said soccer, and then I just looked up
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: to get a hint, and everybody else was confused.
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: So we were supposed to say sports there, I think, so.
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: That's on me as the leader. That's on me. But
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: when someone yelled soccer, then I went, oh, okay, sorry, sports.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: There you go, a hi, everybody, welcome blow the West.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Let here here you go.
• 0:41
  Speaker 2: How is everybody liking soccer?
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: Love it awesome?
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: So you like it if it wasn't America. No, but
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: but but they only played once a week. No, no,
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: I know, and that socks I need to play more.
• 0:54
  Speaker 2: So it's a couple of things for the game itself.
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: Since I did not grow up in it and I
• 0:58
  Speaker 2: don't appreciate it, but they did not play it. It's
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: hard for me to watch with the lack of scoring.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: And I think that's traditionally what Americans say, because the
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: games we play, for the most part, have more scoring
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: than you watch a baseball game and you're like, what, yeah,
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: waistelow thank God for the pitch clock. They need a
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: kick clock. In soccer, we had a kick clock like that,
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: so I get it. It's the most popular game in
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: the world for a reason. I've enjoyed watching America play
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: because it's us and we're not supposed to be that good.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: But we're better than we think. But still as a game,
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: it's really not for me on television because I don't
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: have the respect for it that I probably should have.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: I didn't play it. I did bet though, Oh yeah, well,
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: I was listening to you guys talk about it last week.
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: I think it was Brandon and Dylan.
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: They're like, oh yeah, yeah, yeah. Dylan was trying to
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: tell me what to bet for the USA game, which
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: I think I hit it.
• 1:49
  Speaker 2: I didn't hit the Parlay who he said was gonna score.
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: No, No, that one I didn't hit. He said somebody
• 1:53
  Speaker 1: was gonna score, like they were new to score, and
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: they didn't score.
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: I did hit the win, but then I lost to Parlay.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: But I'm up a little bit in soccer. My one bet,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: I mean.
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: You know what I'm I'm liking most than any other
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: bet is the over over under goals.
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: It Gordon huh, like all the games.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and you can take it down to over one,
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: you know, and the odds aren't great, but some sometimes
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the odds are okay for over one goal.
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: They just need to play more than once a week
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: your team, like US said, Yeah, I get why they can't.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: There are so many games and they're all in these
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: big stadiums, and only so many stadiums to play. But
• 2:24
  Speaker 2: it does move a little faster once we start kicking
• 2:27
  Speaker 2: out some of these small countries.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: I think we could. Yeah, I think we can start
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: a little earlier too, you know, like we can have
• 2:32
  Speaker 1: a game at eight am.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Because West Coast if they're playing West Coast or six
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: am games.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: That's true, that's true.
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: I guess you could play in Boston regardless. It's it's
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: an enjoyable experience to watch the US play.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: You know what, I've really noticed. The fields are just
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: perfect maculate. Yes they have to be, but like, why
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: are the NFL fields like that?
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: But they're not depending. NFL is not dependent on a
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: ball to roll a certain way.
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: I would say, more it's the constant hitting of the
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: ground with the people in their pads and the weight
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: more than it is a ball rolling US.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: I like the helmets and all of that.
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: That's all constantly and grass. These are all turf fields,
• 3:05
  Speaker 2: right or they are grass, whatever the case is. I
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: think there's more impact on NFL fields. Again, I'm speaking
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: from a butthole right now. I know nothing about it, dude.
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: It's cool how these players when they score a goal,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: they can slide. They can literally do a belly slide
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: and they slide for ten feet. I wish the football
• 3:22
  Speaker 1: players could do that, like woo. They probably can't fresh field. Yeah,
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: not on turf, No, not on grass. Yes, yeah, that
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: would be a cool celebration.
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: So it's kind of neat. Well, we'll talk some soccer
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: in a little bit. I did see Alexi Lwais say
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying football. I'm only saying soccer.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: I love that.
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: He's like, the Americans are like on me for not
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: calling it football. You're the posers, not met a lot
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: of Yeah.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: I love that, dude.
• 3:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so yeah, that's what's up.
• 3:48
  Speaker 1: Do you remember him? I had to him up in
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: a picture of the when he played in the World Cup,
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: like background here, dude. He had a goates this long
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: really and and I like a big curly afro like
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: it was it's so different from the way he looks
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: now that it's unbelievable.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: MESSI just missed a penalty shot. Is that what happened?
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he had a penalty shot to set the new
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: record for the World Cup goals, most goals in World
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: Cup history, and he missed it.
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: Wow, And that's crazy, right, that's great.
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because the percentage of them making those kicks are
• 4:19
  Speaker 1: pretty high because it's they have all the control. The
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: kicker has all the control.
• 4:23
  Speaker 2: And as a goalie, are you just guessing?
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: Yeah, they guess all the time, but.
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: Are you guessing or are you looking for something?
• 4:30
  Speaker 1: I'm not a goalie, so I can't answer that. But
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: the way it looks is that every player for the
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: most part, hesitates the kick, and once they hesitate the kick,
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: the goalie usually flies one way and they just kick
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: it the other way.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: Okay, I said, what's the percentage of penalty shots made
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: in pro soccer? Seventy five to eighty percent of the time.
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: It's pretty good. Yeah, it's pretty high.
• 4:51
  Speaker 2: And penalty shootouts it's lower because of the added pressure
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: because that means a game is on the line, so
• 4:56
  Speaker 2: people are a little tighter than if in a game
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: when you still have a lot of game behind you.
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: You probably you guys may not know the answer to this,
• 5:02
  Speaker 1: But when do we start doing that? So when do
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: we start taking the draws away? We're just guessing, right,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: So I'm gonna guess because I'm looking forward.
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: This is what I would guess. Please look me up.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: If I remember from the last time they play the
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: full game, they play an overtime or extended, then they
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: play another one, and if they go over too and
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: it's still tied, then you kick penalty shots. What I
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: don't know is if it's sudden death in the overtime
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: or not?
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: Oh interesting, or do they get a chance to score again?
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: And as a matter of fact, I don't know if
• 5:32
  Speaker 2: any of that's right.
• 5:33
  Speaker 1: I don't And my question too is when in the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: World Cup stages do we start doing that?
• 5:38
  Speaker 2: Okay, so, well, you have to as soon as it
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: goes to knockout round because you have to have a winner,
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: got it.
• 5:43
  Speaker 1: So we're done with draws after this?
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: After we play Turkey, I A dude, what is that?
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: What is it? Turkey?
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: I Kevin? What'd you find out about that?
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah? So they after it's tied after ninety minutes, then
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: there's thirty minutes of extra time, which is two fifteen
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: minute extra so like double overtime, okay, and then the
• 6:02
  Speaker 3: match is decided by penalty penalty kicks if it's still
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: tied up to.
• 6:06
  Speaker 2: That, dude, is it sudden death in that thirty minutes
• 6:09
  Speaker 2: best of five? No, so it's just now Now I'm not
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: trying penalty kicks. I'm talking about in time.
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: If you score, they still have time, so you get
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: thirty minutes regardless.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: Yes, so it's just time.
• 6:19
  Speaker 2: Thirty minutes two it's okay, So it's they don't break
• 6:21
  Speaker 2: it up, but it's thirty minutes, which is two fifteen minutes.
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they do break it up.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: Oh they do.
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know, like a short break.
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: You gotta have the hy hydration hydration break to you.
• 6:29
  Speaker 1: By power aid.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, got it. Okay, Well there's soccer talk.
• 6:33
  Speaker 1: I love it, dude. I love it because I feel
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: like it's enough time every time when what the World
• 6:38
  Speaker 1: Cup comes around for me to forget the rules again,
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: you know, like I swear I look these rules up
• 6:43
  Speaker 1: last time, but I forgot.
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: I love it because there's nothing else to watch right now.
• 6:47
  Speaker 1: You didn't watch the US Open.
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: I did not Wow.
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: I didn't watch the uso oh a golf golf. I
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: watched when I'm called you get hackled by the art fans.
• 6:56
  Speaker 1: I didn't see that was that it's a whole.
• 6:58
  Speaker 4: It was a whole.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: Last day. They were rooting against them out loud.
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: That's crazy. Why because they were going for Shuffler.
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: No, because of how much of how difficult he has been.
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: He's the one that crushed the lockers, He's the one
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: that slammed the sign. He has just been outwardly yelling.
• 7:14
  Speaker 2: They were, dude, they were. He was a bad guy
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: in wrestling. When his ball would hit the green of
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: roll off, they would cheer when he hit off that
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: of the tea box once they go get in the sand.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: I've never seen anything like it before. I was hoping
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: you'd watched it.
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: So I want to day, dude. I want his father's day. Dude.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: It's hard like either I decide and tell the family
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: I'm going to watch golf all day, or I'm going
• 7:35
  Speaker 1: to be like, hey, we can go do something.
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: It was the most unbelievable thing I've ever seen in golf.
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: I've never seen that except for the Ryder Cup.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: They they yelled.
• 7:44
  Speaker 2: But if you're at the home place, yep, against the
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: other team. Right, this was an American at the US
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: Open who was leading. They were yelling against him the
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: whole day.
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: That's interesting, Like is he the new Bryce Bryson dish
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: on boat because like people hate hated on him.
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: They didn't yell at him like this. I've never seen
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: seen this in a major wow where people the ball
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: rolled off the green I'm not sure what green, and
• 8:04
  Speaker 2: they were like, yeah, they were cheering. It didn't matter
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: who was against because they were rooting for Scottie some
• 8:11
  Speaker 2: but then it went over to Sam Burns. It was
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: everybody but him.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: That's a little bit.
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: They're rooting for the Japanese guys.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: And then he went from six shots to one.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, dude, he started the day with six, six shots
• 8:23
  Speaker 1: above everyone else.
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: And at the end his dad met him and they
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: walked eighteen with his dad carrying the bag for him,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: like everything that that should have happened. Into the press conference,
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: He's like, I get it, I get it.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: And so what did he do? Smashing the lockers line?
• 8:37
  Speaker 2: So you have to find the course?
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: But he oh, it wasn't this course, No, no, no, not.
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: He guy like kicked out after because he broke two
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: lockers in the clubhouse oak at Oakmont.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he was kicked out of that.
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: I think in.
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: Oakmont two is where he broke the It was a
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: cell phone company signed on the T box. Dang, like
• 8:56
  Speaker 2: verisener T Mobile? Is that a company?
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, yeah. You know what was interesting when he
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: was playing because I did see early on in the
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: day they interviewed his psychologist, his sports psychologist. I'd never
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: seen that.
• 9:11
  Speaker 3: Before, say you need to do a better job.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: She was just talking about how you know, like she
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: she's proud of him, and he's come a long way,
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: and we worked really hard at his mental game.
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Mike, would you see if you can find any clip
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: of the fans heckling him and just let me know
• 9:27
  Speaker 2: when you find it. I really thought Eddie was gonna
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: leand more his Hollywood Hogan. Wow, they were outwardly yelling
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: against him.
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: I think a big part too, of me not fighting
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: to watch it is the six stroke lead on a
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: course that were like it was impossible to get birdies.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: You know, it's hard for people to come up. It
• 9:44
  Speaker 1: was more possible for him to go down.
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: Day one, though, is a lot easier than they thought.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: He also got the weather, the good of the weather.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: He was the second group of the day.
• 9:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. So again, I don't watch much of it. I
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: just I wasn't doing anything. The baby sleeps on weird
• 9:59
  Speaker 2: like nap schedule, so i'd turn something on, turn something on. Yeah,
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: watch a little, let me know. If you find something,
• 10:05
  Speaker 2: I'll go to you. No rush, though I did not
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: play golf, though I thought Eddie never gonna play golf.
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: I saw a thing of John Ram kicking his driver.
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: Was that this weekend?
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you, I only saw it happen in like
• 10:18
  Speaker 2: the twelve minutes I was watching it, and I went
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: to find other clips because something felt weird about it. Huh, So, yeah,
• 10:24
  Speaker 2: that happened. We're at Shinnecog.
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: Is that New York?
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: New York or New Jersey? Nantucket? Like that area.
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: Feels too rich for me to know exactly where it is.
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you look, you watch on TV and
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: you're just like, man, that looks like it's a different country.
• 10:39
  Speaker 2: Does it look fun to play?
• 10:40
  Speaker 3: No Long Island?
• 10:42
  Speaker 1: No?
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, okay, so it is New York, dude.
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: No. I as soon as they were in that that
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: rough was like two three feet tall. There's no way
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: that any of us in this room would get that
• 10:52
  Speaker 1: ball out.
• 10:53
  Speaker 2: Oh they grow everybody up. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, so
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't for us.
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: They would please And I'm thinking too, like if they
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: left it that hard for the public, like would you
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: even want to pay? How much would the would that
• 11:07
  Speaker 1: cost like five hundred bucks to play? You still would wow?
• 11:10
  Speaker 2: Think so you'd pay? You'd pay more than did you see?
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: Those guys would hit the ball pin high and it
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: would still roll off the green.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: I didn't watch much of it. You watched more than
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: I did.
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: I did. I watched the three days before Eddie.
• 11:20
  Speaker 5: Do you remember the time when there was poison ivy
• 11:22
  Speaker 5: in the rough and you expected Bobby to still play?
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: Yeah? I think that they would do that in the
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: US Open if.
• 11:29
  Speaker 2: Like, they wouldn't be poison ivy at the US Open.
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: Out them talk to the club man.
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: Did you see the lady grab Rory's ball off the
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: tee when he hit into the crowd and they showed it,
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: And they didn't show what happened after because the camera
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: went back to Rory, but they showed the ball land
• 11:44
  Speaker 3: and sit there for a second. And some lady just
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: walked up and just bent over it, grab it, and
• 11:48
  Speaker 3: you can just hear the whole crowd.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: No, yes, do you want to hear how much the
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: most expensive public golf courses are? Yes, for a tea,
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: time Shadow Creek in Las Vegas, approximate it cost fifty dollars.
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: Oh gosh, TPC Sawgrass Stadium of Course in Florida nine
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: hundred dollars.
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: That's Jacksonville, right, this is Florida, so probable. I think
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: that's the one with like the famous seventeenth Green. You know,
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: what's an island?
• 12:18

• 15:46
  Speaker 1: to the store because my kids hit the simulator there,
• 15:49
  Speaker 1: and sometimes when they're in the simulator, I'll walk around
• 15:52
  Speaker 1: kind of see what's going on. And I just walked
• 15:55
  Speaker 1: by the bags and there was this one bag that
• 15:57
  Speaker 1: kind of caught my eye. It was cool, you know me.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: I like hawai and shirts, so it was like flowery.
• 16:02
  Speaker 1: I thought it was Hawaiian really, but then when I
• 16:04
  Speaker 1: got closer it was like really it was like hot,
• 16:07
  Speaker 1: pink and like really girly, and I was like, okay,
• 16:10
  Speaker 1: this is this is a girl's bag. But I was
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: looking at it and the sales guy comes up and
• 16:14
  Speaker 1: goes like, Oh, that's got your name written all over it,
• 16:17
  Speaker 1: and I was like, what the crap does that mean?
• 16:21
  Speaker 1: You're by yourself by myself?
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: What do you think that meant? Like?
• 16:25
  Speaker 1: Was he trying to say, like, you're feminine? So that's
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: I felt like. He was like, Oh, you're a gay dude,
• 16:32
  Speaker 1: so here by the bag. That's what I felt.
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: But did you like.
• 16:35
  Speaker 1: It at first? But then when I got close to him,
• 16:37
  Speaker 1: like this is clearly a woman's bag. From a distance,
• 16:40
  Speaker 1: I was like, that's kind of cool, kind of looks like,
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: I don't know, just like tropical flowers. But when you
• 16:46
  Speaker 1: get closer, it was definitely like, this is a chicks bag.
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: I would bet you more than fifteen times I've been
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: like at the mall or something with my wife or
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: see a shirt or I had, and I'm like, that's cool.
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: We get close, it's a woman, right, I'm just no, no,
• 16:59

• 17:08
  Speaker 1: I'm not. I mean, I'm not even that's not for me.
• 17:10
  Speaker 5: But what did you say to the guy when he
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: said that's got you written all over it?
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: I just kind of said like huh.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: He didn't laugh or like he was dead serious.
• 17:18
  Speaker 1: Dead serious, like you should get that bag that's got
• 17:21
  Speaker 1: you written all over it. And then I started looking
• 17:23
  Speaker 1: at my clothes like am I wearing girly stuff?
• 17:25

  Speaker 1: But I wasn't big beach guy though, right, I love

  Speaker 5: It was great, Messy just scored by the way. Oh really, yeah,
• 24:10
  Speaker 5: it was great.
• 24:11
  Speaker 1: Man. I woke up. She they let me sleep in.
• 24:16
  Speaker 5: They went and they were painting pictures and just you know,
• 24:20
  Speaker 5: trying to be as quiet as possible. And I woke
• 24:22
  Speaker 5: up and they got me this gift. Uh River played
• 24:26
  Speaker 5: uh flag football this season, and I'm a huge sports
• 24:30
  Speaker 5: card collector, and they got me this like in case,
• 24:35
  Speaker 5: like like you know, a PSA ten type thing, but
• 24:38
  Speaker 5: it was grated card.
• 24:39
  Speaker 1: It was a graded card.
• 24:40
  Speaker 5: It was his football card, and it had like a
• 24:43
  Speaker 5: description on the back of like all of the things
• 24:46
  Speaker 5: that he did, like because he wasn't that great this season.
• 24:50
  Speaker 5: But it was just like the coolest, the coolest gift,
• 24:53
  Speaker 5: Like I can keep that forever and.
• 24:55
  Speaker 1: That's cool all that stuff.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Did your wife get you a gift or anything?
• 24:57
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I was just about to say, I guess I
• 24:58
  Speaker 3: didn't say that she got me it to me before
• 25:00
  Speaker 3: she left for her trip. She got me my favorite
• 25:03
  Speaker 3: bottle of bourbon, which which is Blatant, which is a
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: nice bottle.
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: Is it expensive?
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: Really nice?
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's it's anywhere from one hundred and twenty to
• 25:12
  Speaker 3: two hundred dollars. So she got me a bottle of that,
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: and she got me a like a big old plate
• 25:17
  Speaker 3: and it says Dad's grilled plate on it, like a
• 25:20
  Speaker 3: big old meat plate that you put your take your
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: meat off of, and it's got one of their hands
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: is like a cheeseburger, and then one of their foots
• 25:27
  Speaker 3: is a hot dog in between two ones and stuff. Yeah,
• 25:29
  Speaker 3: so she did those two things, and uh, it was awesome, man.
• 25:33
  Speaker 3: I mean that Blatant alone is just perfect.
• 25:35
  Speaker 1: What did you get anything new shoes?
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: Oh?
• 25:42
  Speaker 1: I mean I like these awns or whatever. And my
• 25:44
  Speaker 1: other ones are so dirty they're awns right on clouds.
• 25:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, it's so funny.
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: I was looking at your dirty ones the other day.
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: I was like, dang, I know, I thought that no, no,
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: these are brand new, are they knew? The same color?
• 25:55
  Speaker 1: Like same shoe, no, different kind, different kind of shoe,
• 25:58
  Speaker 1: different color. And I had been thinking like, oh, I
• 26:01
  Speaker 1: probably need new shoes. And that's the best when you're
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: just thinking it and then you get it for Father's Day.
• 26:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah that's cool.
• 26:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, my wife got me because you know, we're building
• 26:12
  Speaker 2: some studios and you know, one of those sets that
• 26:15
  Speaker 2: we have is like all the retro stuff. But she
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: got me a seatback from Wriglear Phil that Mark Gray signed,
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: who's like my favorite ball player. So she got me that.
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: And then she got me a shirt that the catering
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: crew had during when they made the movie Man on
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: the Moon.
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: No, No, what do you mean the catering Like it's
• 26:32
  Speaker 1: something they had to wear.
• 26:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's cool. So it's like says the name of
• 26:35
  Speaker 2: the movie and the and it's like the catering company
• 26:38
  Speaker 2: and it was only the catering. That's crazy.
• 26:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah that's only what I don't know, But that's cool.
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: I only have like five things I like, and so
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: that's two of the five things.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: That's a big Father's Day. Yeah. So yeah, imagine next
• 26:52
  Speaker 1: next year.
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: I can't do that. Mark Mark Grace himself comes in
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: right that. All right, we're gonna talk soccer in just
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: one second. What somebody who actually knows what they're talking about?
• 27:04
  Speaker 6: It?
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: Thank god?
• 27:05
  Speaker 6: Instead of US.
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Hold on, hey, we're gonna bring in Taylor Twelman, Now,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: who knows US men's national team better than anybody else
• 27:13
  Speaker 2: every angle as a former national team player, one of
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: the best goal scorers in MLS history, and now one
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: of the most recognizable voices covering American soccer. Taylor really
• 27:23
  Speaker 2: appreciate it. Now. My first question as a I'm gonna
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: say casual, but I'm really trying hard, and I try
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: hard every Olympics and every World Cup is how good
• 27:33
  Speaker 2: are we versus how weak is our group?
• 27:37
  Speaker 7: I like the way you phrased that. I think when
• 27:39
  Speaker 7: the group, let's start with the group. When the group
• 27:42
  Speaker 7: was announced in you knew Turkey A was the third group.
• 27:48
  Speaker 7: I thought it was a little disingenuous that everybody said
• 27:51
  Speaker 7: it was an easy group.
• 27:52
  Speaker 4: I thought it was a favorable group.
• 27:53
  Speaker 7: Now insane that you could argue that Turkey is probably
• 27:57
  Speaker 7: top two or three biggest disappointments the World.
• 28:00
  Speaker 4: Cup up to this point.
• 28:01
  Speaker 7: I thought they would be the most difficult opponent for
• 28:03
  Speaker 7: the United States, and yet here we are where the
• 28:06
  Speaker 7: final group stage game, Turkeys not even They've already been eliminated,
• 28:11
  Speaker 7: and the United States has already won the group, so
• 28:14
  Speaker 7: shows you how much I know.
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: I think the United States is good. I do.
• 28:19
  Speaker 7: Now you're asking me, as an American, where we sit
• 28:22
  Speaker 7: there and say, well, yeah, or are we good enough
• 28:25
  Speaker 7: to win the tournament? And that's where this gets a
• 28:27
  Speaker 7: little interesting. If you look at the history of the
• 28:29
  Speaker 7: World Cup, what is it eight nine countries that have
• 28:32
  Speaker 7: won in two of those countries one before there was
• 28:35
  Speaker 7: even twelve teams in the tournament. So you got to
• 28:38
  Speaker 7: look at this and always say, there's the five countries
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: that everybody's chasing, maybe six, fine, all of that, and
• 28:45
  Speaker 7: then everybody else kind of operates in this pool of
• 28:48
  Speaker 7: can you be different? There was a lot of pressure
• 28:51
  Speaker 7: on this group to do something of real magnitude. Now,
• 28:54
  Speaker 7: in my opinion, they haven't done it yet. But the
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: way they beat Paraguay I got everyone's attention very quickly
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: of saying, hang on a minute. Not only did we
• 29:06
  Speaker 7: win the game, but we won the game with real
• 29:09
  Speaker 7: style and real purpose and a swagger. And then to
• 29:13
  Speaker 7: beat Australia in a completely different way, that's where I
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: tend to lean up saying, hang on, this group may
• 29:20
  Speaker 7: be really good. Now, they haven't been really tested yet.
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: They will be, but by winning the group. I want
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: your listeners and viewers to understand this. They only play
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: a third place team now coming out of the knockout
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: stage first game, and then that sets them up into
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: not playing a top eight team of the world until
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: the quarterfinals. So I've said it when the tournament started,
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: I said it eight months before it quarterfinals are busted,
• 29:46
  Speaker 7: and it's kind of trending that way.
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: Sometimes on Apple I'll watch Messi play because he's playing MLS,
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: and so in my mind, you only come play MLS
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: either big, big, big check or you know, maybe it's hey,
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: you know, he didn't want to play against the competition.
• 30:01
  Speaker 2: He might be slowing down a half step. That's my
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: American mind. Now I'm watching him score like crazy. Has
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: Messi lost a half step or is he still awesome?
• 30:08
  Speaker 7: No, I actually argue he's gained a half step because
• 30:12
  Speaker 7: he's smart. He's just a genius. Everyone else is doing addition, subtraction.
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: He's doing multiplication and division. It's just it's operating at
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: a different level.
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: I appreciate that American view of MLS, but that was
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: when I played, and I'm.
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: Not that old.
• 30:31
  Speaker 7: But MLS over the last six years has grown exponentially.
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: They've sold over two hundred and fifty million dollars worth
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: the players. They've bought two hundred and fifty million dollars
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: with the players. And now that they changed the schedule,
• 30:42
  Speaker 7: I need you to understand, they're going to make twenty
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: to twenty five percent more money on their departures and
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: they're not gonna have to spend as much because they're
• 30:50
  Speaker 7: lining themselves with the top five to six leagues in
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: the world. When Messi came to Major League Soccer, everyone said,
• 30:59
  Speaker 7: this is him. He's waving the white flag. And I've
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: lived it. I've called eighty percent of his games. It's
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: the first time in his professional career that he's led
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: World Cup qualifying and goal scorer.
• 31:12
  Speaker 4: That's after he came to MLS.
• 31:14
  Speaker 7: He's now the oldest player to ever score a hat
• 31:16
  Speaker 7: trick in the World Cup.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: After he came to MLS, he's now the all time leading.
• 31:22
  Speaker 7: Goalscorer in the World Cup tied. Eventually, he's gonna get there.
• 31:24
  Speaker 7: You and I both know he's gonna score more goals
• 31:26
  Speaker 7: in the World Cup. That's after he came to MLS.
• 31:29
  Speaker 7: Rodrigo de Paul, who had the first assists for Messi.
• 31:32
  Speaker 7: Great ball MLS. MLS has forty five players in this
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: World Cup. I don't think that narrative has talked about enough.
• 31:41
  Speaker 7: That is top five most in the world for leagues represented.
• 31:45
  Speaker 7: So there's been this week and listen, I'm not listen.
• 31:49
  Speaker 7: I work for MLS. I call MLS games I have
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: for sixteen years. I will always defend it, but I
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: also will listen to that narrative. That narrative is outdated
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: because of what Messi has done, but more so with
• 32:02
  Speaker 7: the owners than everyone has done over the last five years,
• 32:05
  Speaker 7: and that's only going to improve after the World Cup.
• 32:08
  Speaker 4: Lottime has talked about.
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: Major League Soccer in his time here, but even now
• 32:12
  Speaker 7: a lot of time will say the league that he left,
• 32:15
  Speaker 7: which was what twenty one, twenty two, it's changed four
• 32:20
  Speaker 7: years later, it's changed. A lot of that's because Messi's
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: come here, He's brought Rodrigo de Paul and now they've got,
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: you know, players all over the world representing their countries
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: also playing domestically in MLS.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: It was a big news story just all across sports
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: when we changed coaches and so yes, so, how how
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: much of an impact does a coach actually make on
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: the national team.
• 32:43
  Speaker 4: Buddy, that's a great question. You and I could do
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: an entire show on that.
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: I I'm not gonna say they don't make a ton,
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: but they're not with the players every single day. So
• 32:53
  Speaker 7: the Jurgen klop effect with Liverpool, the Pep Guardiola effect
• 32:57
  Speaker 7: with Barcelona, Byron in City, that's very hard to do.
• 33:03
  Speaker 4: It's really difficult to do.
• 33:05
  Speaker 7: You're not with the players day in and day out,
• 33:07
  Speaker 7: you're not seeing tendencies. It's difficult to really impactfully change
• 33:12
  Speaker 7: a game tactically. Now you've got to manage personalities. You're
• 33:16
  Speaker 7: bringing in twenty six players that all believe they're one
• 33:19
  Speaker 7: of the best players, if not the best player of
• 33:22
  Speaker 7: their club team. How do you fit that within a
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: national team. Looking Roberto Martinez right now Portugal, he's got
• 33:28
  Speaker 7: a real dilemma on how to manage Ronaldo and his expectations,
• 33:32
  Speaker 7: even though.
• 33:32
  Speaker 4: Father times knocking out on the door. It's a great question.
• 33:36
  Speaker 7: I'm not saying coaches and managers don't impact the game.
• 33:39
  Speaker 7: It's just way different than what we see at the
• 33:42
  Speaker 7: club level. And in saying that, Pochatino has pushed.
• 33:45
  Speaker 4: All the right buttons so good on him.
• 33:48
  Speaker 7: I've been very critical of Pochatino in the last two
• 33:52
  Speaker 7: international breaks going into the World Cup because I thought
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: he had missed the opportunity to see who is better
• 34:00
  Speaker 7: eleven was to see what system works.
• 34:02
  Speaker 4: And yet he used those games against.
• 34:04
  Speaker 7: Belgium and Portugal in particular to see that he has
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: potentially an option to play Alex Freeman as a right
• 34:12
  Speaker 7: center back that can transform into a right back in there.
• 34:15
  Speaker 7: So I got that one wrong. He's done a very
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: good job. But I don't want your listeners to think
• 34:22
  Speaker 7: that you can change a team the way Pep Guardiola
• 34:25
  Speaker 7: does tactically and stylistically. It's just impossible to do that
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: at the international level.
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: In this next game where there is no benefit to
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: us if we win, we've already won our group. Do
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: we play anybody that is actually going to play the
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: next game or do we just or do you want
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: to play? Let's say some of the guys that are
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: starters or that do they want to play.
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: They always want to play.
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: But that is a real good conversation right now, because
• 34:51
  Speaker 7: I've seen some ex players say no, no, no, you
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: need to play. I'm gonna tell you right now, unequivocally,
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: you do not play a single player that's on a
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: yellow card.
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: Not a single player because if.
• 35:01
  Speaker 7: They get a second yellow in the final group stage game,
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: even though yellow cards wipe out, if you are suspended,
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: that carries over. So you don't play anyone that's on
• 35:12
  Speaker 7: a yellow And right now I'm telling you it's Anthony Robbinson,
• 35:14
  Speaker 7: it's Chris Richards, it's Tyler Adams that I'm forgetting the
• 35:18
  Speaker 7: fourth but oh it's Florian Belligan. No, you don't play
• 35:21
  Speaker 7: any any of those four. You also don't touch Christian Ballistic.
• 35:26
  Speaker 7: What do you gain out of playing him versus what
• 35:31
  Speaker 7: do you lose if he reinjures the calf? You've just
• 35:34
  Speaker 7: cut off your nose despite your face. Wait, no, no,
• 35:39
  Speaker 7: So in my professional opinion, I'm not touching anyone. The
• 35:43
  Speaker 7: other reason why And nobody's talking about this, Butchettino, I'd argue,
• 35:48
  Speaker 7: if there's any criticism he hasn't used this subs in
• 35:51
  Speaker 7: a right way, particularly the Australian game with tire legs
• 35:53
  Speaker 7: and all that. Does he fully know on his substitute
• 35:58
  Speaker 7: bench who he can count on in the knockout stage.
• 36:01
  Speaker 7: You'll get an answer against Turkey, and so I would
• 36:04
  Speaker 7: play an eleven. That gives him an idea of who's ready,
• 36:08
  Speaker 7: who's available, who's playing at a high level, who's ready
• 36:10
  Speaker 7: for the moment, all of that, because once you get
• 36:13
  Speaker 7: in the knockout stage, there could be a suspension, there
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: could be an injury.
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: So you got to have those answers.
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: I would use the game as a training exercise absolutely,
• 36:21
  Speaker 7: whether you win three, no or loose three no, it
• 36:23
  Speaker 7: doesn't matter.
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: Is there a rest versus rust argument in soccer like
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: there is football?
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: Sorry, let me rephrase that, yes, but not here. These players,
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: particularly coming from Europe, are coming off long seasons. Chris
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: Richards has just debunked that theory because he didn't play
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: twenty six days before the tournament. La Mignamal didn't play
• 36:47
  Speaker 7: since April twenty third or twenty second, whatever the date was.
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: And how is his first two games? How were his
• 36:53
  Speaker 7: first two games? So no, they're training, they're getting into fitness.
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: All of that now, the Russ versus rest. Sure, Levin
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: Nemal might not be ninety minutes fit, but he's gonna
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: get there. Chris Richards, who knows if he was, but
• 37:09
  Speaker 7: he's shown himself for the first two games in a
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: positive light. No, I don't see that, And quite honestly,
• 37:16
  Speaker 7: the MLS guys are fully fit.
• 37:18
  Speaker 4: They're chopping at the bit.
• 37:19
  Speaker 7: They've had that right, so they've gotten after this and
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: they're in the middle of their season. I don't think
• 37:25
  Speaker 7: fitness is a question, and I just think you get
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: real answers for some of your questions on who's ready
• 37:31
  Speaker 7: for the knockout stage when you've given yourself a gift
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: of winning the group two games.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: In maybe a little patriotic bias here, but are we
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: kind of dominating at hosting?
• 37:41
  Speaker 7: Oh yeah, man, it's great. You're also asking a very
• 37:46
  Speaker 7: patriotic person itself. It's crazy how the conversation leading into
• 37:49
  Speaker 7: this was so negative and then every game I turn on,
• 37:52
  Speaker 7: I'm like the abduligent.
• 37:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 37:53
  Speaker 7: See, here's the thing about the United States that, for
• 37:59
  Speaker 7: whatever reason, the rest of the world doesn't fully understand
• 38:03
  Speaker 7: how we do this. And this is being just honest.
• 38:06
  Speaker 7: We do big events all the time, all the time.
• 38:10
  Speaker 7: We have the infrastructure, we have the cities, we have
• 38:13
  Speaker 7: the fans, we have the attention span. This is what
• 38:17
  Speaker 7: we do. So, yeah, you want to kick off a
• 38:20
  Speaker 7: World Cup in the middle of the NBA Finals and
• 38:22
  Speaker 7: Stanley Cup and the US Open. Sure we got you
• 38:26
  Speaker 7: all good, We've got you covered, and we're and we're
• 38:28
  Speaker 7: gonna be all in. So this narrative that a month
• 38:32
  Speaker 7: before the World Cup, there's no buzz, nobody's into it.
• 38:36
  Speaker 7: How's the first ten days go?
• 38:38
  Speaker 4: Yeah?
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: Pretty amazing. It Also, it feels like Canada and Mexico
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: are just kind of hosting, like they're just kind of
• 38:43
  Speaker 2: they they're satellite hosting, right, Like they're not really hosting.
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: We are, I.
• 38:47
  Speaker 4: It's I don't know.
• 38:49
  Speaker 7: Those two Mexican home games were really really good. Now
• 38:54
  Speaker 7: are they hosting in ten cities or eight cities whatever
• 38:57
  Speaker 7: their number is?
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: No?
• 38:58
  Speaker 7: So the you're one hundred percent correct, But the home
• 39:02
  Speaker 7: field advantage for Canada and Mexico. I can't sit here
• 39:05
  Speaker 7: and look at your camera and I can't sit here
• 39:06
  Speaker 7: with a mic on and say they're not really hosting
• 39:08
  Speaker 7: because those two atmospheres for both countries, those four games
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: in particular were really strong.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: What are we hoping for as far as where these
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: teams land to get a good bracket? In what sense
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: do we want to play like Bosnia and then Iran?
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: Like I'm just looking at the possibilities, because right now
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: we're somewhat guessing before this last match, like what are
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: we rooting for happens that probably can happen.
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: We already got what we were rooting for.
• 39:39
  Speaker 7: So the only thing you asked for in a forty
• 39:42
  Speaker 7: eighteen tournament, which is now the case no longer thirty two,
• 39:47
  Speaker 7: is the United States needed to win their group. It
• 39:49
  Speaker 7: was imperative, and I said that because you do give
• 39:53
  Speaker 7: yourself the best runway to it. The opponents doesn't matter
• 39:56
  Speaker 7: at this point in my opinion, because you're a first
• 39:59
  Speaker 7: place team and you're playing a third place qualifier, So
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: that in and of itself in round to thirty two
• 40:05
  Speaker 7: sets yourself up and because of that, you're then playing
• 40:09
  Speaker 7: a second place qualifier in that winner. So this is
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: what you wanted. You wanted to avoid because the United
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: States men have only won one knockout stage since nineteen
• 40:20
  Speaker 7: ninety and that game was against Mexico, which was a
• 40:23
  Speaker 7: known opponent. Every other knockout game they've been up against it.
• 40:27
  Speaker 7: I'm not sitting here saying they're going to run away
• 40:29
  Speaker 7: with the knockout games, but the way the brackets lined out,
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: in my opinion, the opponent.
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: Don matter.
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: You're playing a third place qualifier, then a winner of
• 40:37
  Speaker 7: two second place teams, and you don't have to play
• 40:40
  Speaker 7: a top eight team in the world until the quarterfinals.
• 40:44
  Speaker 7: That's exactly what you wanted. Now you've got it. Can
• 40:47
  Speaker 7: you do the business and get to that quarterfinal?
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: That's the question.
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: I see Twitter kind of beating up Alexi Lawless. How
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: do you feel like he's doing as an analyst?
• 40:58
  Speaker 7: Listen, I've known Alexi for a long time. We played
• 41:00
  Speaker 7: against each other when I first started in media. He
• 41:03
  Speaker 7: was a colleague of mine and a real close friend
• 41:06
  Speaker 7: and has remained that way since then. There is a
• 41:10
  Speaker 7: part of me that thinks he is being criticized just
• 41:13
  Speaker 7: because he is the redheaded American next to him. But
• 41:18
  Speaker 7: I also know Alexi very well. He wants the criticism.
• 41:22
  Speaker 7: He loves this criticism. This is how he wants it
• 41:26
  Speaker 7: because this is how he has operated in the media.
• 41:30
  Speaker 7: So it's Laton and Henri and everybody else want to
• 41:33
  Speaker 7: poke fun at him and get after him. I don't
• 41:36
  Speaker 7: really don't think it bothers him because this is kind
• 41:39
  Speaker 7: of who he is. He hates the analogies of Skip
• 41:42
  Speaker 7: Bayless and Stephen A. Smith, and yet I used to
• 41:44
  Speaker 7: remind him all the time. But that's how you act,
• 41:47
  Speaker 7: that's who you are. Those are the opinions that you give.
• 41:51
  Speaker 7: But this narrative that he wasn't a player. He played
• 41:56
  Speaker 7: in Syria during a time when nobody did from the
• 42:00
  Speaker 7: United States at the time when Siril was the number
• 42:03
  Speaker 7: one league in the world. So you can miss me
• 42:07
  Speaker 7: with that aspect that stuff. No, but he taught me
• 42:11
  Speaker 7: better than anyone. Fifty percent of media is going to
• 42:14
  Speaker 7: like you, fifty percent is not going to like you.
• 42:17
  Speaker 7: Probably he taught me that because calling a game, one
• 42:20
  Speaker 7: team's winning, one team's losing. I just feel like right
• 42:24
  Speaker 7: now a lot of people are questioning Alexi laws and
• 42:28
  Speaker 7: what he's done in the media, and I feel like,
• 42:31
  Speaker 7: if you gave him any truth here and me look
• 42:33
  Speaker 7: at you and say, yeah, this is kind of who
• 42:35
  Speaker 7: I am and what I wanted as.
• 42:37
  Speaker 2: A as an educated casual. I really like him, which
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: is why I'm so confused by everybody going after him
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: so hard on social media. I enjoy it because I
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: need him to be like he is to further explain
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: how I should even feel at times.
• 42:50
  Speaker 7: You also got to remember, though, in most of America
• 42:54
  Speaker 7: were used to that type of media and that type
• 42:57
  Speaker 7: of the way he articulates his his his feelings and
• 43:01
  Speaker 7: his opinions, and so a lot of us are like, Yeah,
• 43:04
  Speaker 7: that's kind of what we have in the media.
• 43:07
  Speaker 4: We can do that in the media.
• 43:09
  Speaker 7: The rest of the world it's a little more subdued,
• 43:14
  Speaker 7: a little more nuanced. Is the lack of a It's
• 43:17
  Speaker 7: a terrible word here, because I'm not saying alexis not nuanced.
• 43:20
  Speaker 7: But the way Alexi's going to give you his opinion,
• 43:23
  Speaker 7: that's how he is. The rest of the world's kind
• 43:25
  Speaker 7: of like eh. But he's done a ton to grow
• 43:27
  Speaker 7: this sport. He's been a face of this sport for
• 43:30
  Speaker 7: a long time. He works hard. I don't care what
• 43:33
  Speaker 7: anyone tries to tell you. I've seen it, I've lived it.
• 43:37
  Speaker 7: But I also know he loves this kind of feedback,
• 43:42
  Speaker 7: in this kind of.
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: Reaction he always has.
• 43:45
  Speaker 7: Now, that's where he and I fundamentally, when we work together,
• 43:48
  Speaker 7: I disagreed. I wanted to talk about tactics. I wanted
• 43:51
  Speaker 7: to get into the nitty gritty. He wanted to be
• 43:54
  Speaker 7: more big picture. That's fine, that's the different ways you
• 43:58
  Speaker 7: can do media. But I just some of these articles
• 44:02
  Speaker 7: about him as a player. I'm like, it's it's got
• 44:05
  Speaker 7: to be written by a twenty five to thirty year
• 44:06
  Speaker 7: old because obviously they didn't do any of their homework.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: Final question, what's a win for US? As we watched
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: the US team as at eight sixteen, like, where do
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: we get to?
• 44:16
  Speaker 4: Where we go? Man?
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: We are really growing? And quarterfinals? Okay, so what's the quarterfinals?
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: No doubt?
• 44:22
  Speaker 7: Eight, no doubt. And I didn't mean to cut you
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: off there, but it's a great question. And here's why.
• 44:27
  Speaker 7: Because you don't know who you're playing at that point.
• 44:29
  Speaker 7: And at that point you ask the forty eight countries
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: that participated, would you take a quarterfinal berth All of
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: them with the exception of maybe France, Spain and Brazil
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: would say yes absolutely, and so because then that's where
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: the brackets play out, and you know you're going up
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: against the best in the world, and that's where you
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: just see your chips funt listen. Two thousand and two,
• 44:52
  Speaker 7: if var was around, we beat Germany, we win that
• 44:55
  Speaker 7: game because that was one hundred percent a handball from
• 44:57
  Speaker 7: tours and frings. So that's the only time the United
• 45:01
  Speaker 7: States men have been there because of the Paraguay win,
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: you got the attention of the general sports fan in
• 45:08
  Speaker 7: the United States because not only was there substance in
• 45:11
  Speaker 7: the victory, there was real style and there was an energy.
• 45:15
  Speaker 7: That's how you have to win. Now, round to thirty two,
• 45:19
  Speaker 7: then round to sixteen, and then you've got the entire
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: country behind you, and then you're playing with house money
• 45:24
  Speaker 7: in my opinion, because whoever up, whoever you're going against,
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: you're the underdog. And that's kind of where the United
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: States in this instance loves to be.
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: Taylor, really appreciate the time. You're great on Apple. I
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: love when you go on rich Rich Eisen Show too,
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: because I don't skip it and sometimes I'm like, I
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: don't know enough about soccer. I never skip your heads
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: over on Eisen, So I really appreciate the time and
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: kind of walking us through this. Hope you have a
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: great day in USA, USA. Thanks Taylor, dude.
• 45:50
  Speaker 7: I appreciate you having me and by the way, you
• 45:52
  Speaker 7: are growing the sport more than any of us talking
• 45:54
  Speaker 7: the sport to your followers.
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: Thank you, Taylor, have a great day all right, before
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: we go, are you are you betting on games? Aren't
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: America Okay, yes, dude, percent, but you don't know enough
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: about it.
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: If I don't know, like if it's like Ivory Coast versus.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: That's all the games except for the American No.
• 46:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know. If you got Spain, plane, if you
• 46:17
  Speaker 1: got France, you got the big dogs playing, like, yes,
• 46:20
  Speaker 1: bet on the number of goals, because those guys like
• 46:22
  Speaker 1: to score a lot. But if I don't know the
• 46:24
  Speaker 1: country or they're smaller, plane iran.
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: Draw draw, draw, Oh you bet to draw?
• 46:29
  Speaker 1: Oh yeah, because the return on the draw is so good.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Well, what's interesting about that is you can bet the
• 46:33
  Speaker 2: money lines. But it's like I say, America minus one sixty,
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Australia plus two twenty draw plus three hundred, so you
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: have three there.
• 46:41
  Speaker 1: You know, there's an option to just do win or
• 46:43
  Speaker 1: lose with no draw, but the odds aren't as good.
• 46:46
  Speaker 2: So if it's a draw, then it's just a push.
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: Yes, correct, but again they're the odds aren't great.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: I'd probably do that though.
• 46:55
  Speaker 1: Because that draw really messed up.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: I don't like draw, no, especially a tournament this big.
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: But I mean they're not trying to draw guys, I
• 47:04
  Speaker 1: mean they're just they're trying to score that.
• 47:07
  Speaker 2: You know this. This is the first World Cup ever
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: where they haven't done gold differential, so it's just head
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: to head. Used to be, you know scenario than they
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: would do go if it was a tie, it was
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: a gold differential. Oh yeah, okay, but now you've americanized it,
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: which I'm happy with. If American, I'll show you're either not.
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: If they're even they say they're both three and one,
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: they play four games, right or three games they play three? Yeah,
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: let's say they're both two and one. Then you don't
• 47:32
  Speaker 2: go to gold differential, you go to who beat who?
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: Yeah, which makes sense.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what they're doing this time. But a lot
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: of the hardcore soccer people like that's stupid, makes these
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: third round games not important?
• 47:42
  Speaker 3: Well, win your games, yeah, when you already did your
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: your job, won the first two games.
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: When your games they as we just talked about, they're
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: going to play scrubs. I guess in the World Cup.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: Maybe we can get in.
• 47:54
  Speaker 1: Cool.
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: They don't even send their team, the American team. It's us, dude.
• 47:58
  Speaker 1: Do you know how much they run?
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: Like gosh, I would die on the field and someone
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: almost has twice.
• 48:05
  Speaker 1: Oh well yeah, that guy Denmark. Hey, speaking of, do
• 48:08
  Speaker 1: you ever watch the crowds like of all these other
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: countries and be like, do we're lame in America?
• 48:13
  Speaker 2: No, because I compared to etc. Football.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but even sec like, they're not jumping up and down.
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: They get excited and they yell. But man, these other
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: countries the whole game jumping up and down. I'm like, gosh,
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: they have like a different idea of going to a game.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: You know, what I would think is that we don't
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: really have something as a country that we root for
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: as passionately as each of these countries do. Soccer, because
• 48:37
  Speaker 2: what do we have country wide that's a team that
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: we would show up for and do this?
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: You're right, yeah, the only thing I can think of
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: is basketball. But even then I'm like, well he plays
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: on the Lakers. I hate him.
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: Well, all their people that are club players for other countries,
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: they come together and play for their country. But we don't.
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: Even then, we don't really care that much because we dominate,
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: Like we're not passion Yeah right, that's a thing too. Yeah,
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: So we don't have that. Yeah, that thing that we
• 49:04
  Speaker 2: root for our country for that we would show up
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: and go crazy for. That is like the biggest because
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: basketball isn't even our biggest sport. Yeah, so we don't,
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: but we don't have that out, that that element of
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: a national product that we would all get together with
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: something that we love so much that would make us
• 49:22
  Speaker 2: cheer like that.
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: Do you think a lot of these fans are traveling
• 49:25
  Speaker 1: from their countries or are they already here?
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: I think probably both, But I think a lot of
• 49:30
  Speaker 2: traveling because this is it's so weird to say, and
• 49:33
  Speaker 2: it's such an American cop out thing to say, but
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: this is their super Bowl.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: It's bigger than that.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: It's bigger than that for them.
• 49:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: So like if your team, let's say, I don't know,
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: the Patriots weren't the super Bowl and you were in
• 49:45
  Speaker 2: San Francisco and you were already there, like, of course
• 49:47
  Speaker 2: you would stay and go to the game. Who wouldn't ye,
• 49:50
  Speaker 2: who wouldn't do that?
• 49:51
  Speaker 3: I mean unless you just had this feeling they're going
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: to get blown out and then they got blown out
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: and you're happy you didn't spend that money and you're like, yeah,
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: it's a good decision.
• 49:59
  Speaker 1: Had that conversation because we drove by the new stadium
• 50:02
  Speaker 1: and we were like, oh, I tell my kids, like
• 50:03
  Speaker 1: that's crazy. There's gonna be a super Bowl there, and
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: they're like, Dad, the Cowboys go like, are we going?
• 50:07
  Speaker 1: I'm like, WHOA, I don't know. But then I started thinking,
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: like I have to put it on a credit card,
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: like I have to.
• 50:13
  Speaker 2: If the Cowboys go to the super Bowl in Nashville,
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: how many of your kids? Are you taking four of them?
• 50:18
  Speaker 2: So you're gonna go, You're get at five tickets?
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: I think I have to. That's a once in a
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: lifetime memory.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: You mean you'll be out over twenty grands, Like you'll
• 50:27
  Speaker 2: be out over twenty.
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: Grand But but I mean I can't do it, Kevin,
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: and like, just not go.
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: Well, you cannot take all four of your kids.
• 50:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, maybe i'd take a couple.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: If you were there solo in a different city.
• 50:38
  Speaker 1: Like I said, a thousand percent no, But I'm.
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: Just saying with your kids, you're a lot more like
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: enticed to go to the game too.
• 50:44
  Speaker 1: Oh No, I would think if our solo, that'd be
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: a no brainer.
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: If the Cowboys were in a super Bowl next year
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: in La, will you go?
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: We're they're already no.
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: But just in general, no, I wouldn't go.
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: Really, I wouldn't fly all the way LA by myself and.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: Go to the game Southwest Fight's three hundred fifty bucks.
• 50:59
  Speaker 1: No, right now, dude, this economy.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: So you'd put would you take your wife?
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: No?
• 51:06
  Speaker 2: Okay, So five tickets to go to Super Bowl on
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: your credit card? But if the Cowboys went next your
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: in LA, you wouldn't go by yourself?
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: Correct, I wouldn't go. I watch it at home, have
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: a big party'd be great. But if they're right down
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: the street and they're playing the Super Bowl, I have
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: to go.
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: But five tickets would be more expensive than traveling to
• 51:22
  Speaker 3: LA and go to the game by yourself.
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: It's not about that. I just don't want to go
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: by myself to LA to watch.
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: No, i'd go with you. I just wouldn't pay for yours.
• 51:28
  Speaker 2: Oh well then we'll go, but you have to pay
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: for yours.
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: Are we already there?
