  Speaker 1: Joy Taylor. More World Cup action. Yes, US men's national
• 0:14
  Speaker 1: team is no longer competing. We are out, but there's
• 0:18
  Speaker 1: still a lot going on because the goat, Lionel Messi
• 0:23
  Speaker 1: is the man of the moment. The day after the
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: rival goat Christiano Ronaldo and Portugal flamed out of the
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: World Cup, it looked like Messi and Argentina were going
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: to do the same.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: Egypt is up to Neil and.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Ten minutes, just over ten minutes of regular time to play,
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: and Messi decides to bring them back and assist the
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: Christian Romero, and.
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: A goal off of his left boot tied it up.
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: Before end.
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Zo Fernandez headed in a stoppage time winner to rip
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: out Egypt's heart. So Messi led the way and you
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: could see how much it meant to him. He's usually
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: very reserved, but a double fist pump and I was
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: in tears after the game. Honestly, he said, I'm just
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: so happy we made it through, and about the way
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: we did it. Things got tough at two to oh.
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: So it's incredibly exciting to turn it around once again.
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: We suffered a lot, but that's the World Cup for you.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: Every match is playing out the same way. Everything is
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: so evenly matched, but as always, this group never.
• 1:20
  Speaker 2: Gives up and keeps trying until the very end.
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: This was a very close call for Argentina, who needed
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: two goals and extra time to top the tournament Cinderella
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: in Cabo Verde. So this is a really impressive win.
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: People were going nuts on social about it. The following
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: game didn't have a single goal, as many you know,
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: soccer games don't, but Argentina scored three times from the
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: seventy ninth minute to.
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: Complete this comeback.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: And you know, obviously heartbreaking for Egypt to lose that way.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: That's why you have to play to the very end.
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: We have seen these type.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Of moments happen throughout this World Cup, really crazy comebacks,
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: and you know, heart's getting ripped out. So Messi continues
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: on with Argentina and continues to write his his goat handbook.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: With these moments just absolutely incredible.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: So the US is out of the World Cup, but
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: our stars are still performing internationally on the international stage.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: Coco Golf knocked off fellow American Jessica Pagoula at Wimbledon
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: on Tuesday. She is twenty two years old, so she's
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: the youngest player to make a Grand Slam final since
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: Maria Sharapova at the French Open.
• 2:30
  Speaker 2: In two thousand and seven.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: GoF has never won Wimbledon, but she is a two
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: time major champion twenty twenty three US Open and twenty
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: twenty five French Open. She said, after seven years playing
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: this tournament, it's finally the first time I can walk
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: on center court and I didn't feel nervous, So I
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: don't know if I'm becoming a vet. Pretty wild to
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: think of a twenty two year old as a VET,
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: but you know, with tennis, as she said, she's been
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: playing this tournament for seven years, at this point, maybe
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: she kind of is really impressive performance and she will
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: face ten seeded Carolina Mahova of the Czech Republic for
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: a spot in Saturday's final. Mahova is the twenty twenty
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: three French Open runner up and she beat Osaka on
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: the number one court. So Pagoula was ranked fourth, Golf
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: seventh and Mahoova is the ninth ranks according to the WTA.
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: So very exciting stuff from a young star in Cocoa
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: golf at Wimbledon and Statt will be an excellent.
• 3:29
  Speaker 2: Match to watch.
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: And finally it's some MBA. So the Knicks delivered New
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: York City a trophy. And now the East looks completely different.
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: And we've talked a little bit about this all the
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: blockbuster trades and changes of the landscape for the Eastern
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: Conferences offseason. Obviously, the Knicks finishing off the Spurs on
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: June eighteenth, and a lot has changed. Yannis to Miami
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: Heat culture wins again. I imagine if Bron comes back too.
• 3:57
  Speaker 1: We've got Kawhi in Toronto to watch. Kyle Lowry retires
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: a raptor potentially bring Canada another NBA title. The Celtics
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: blew up JT and JB Jaylen Brown to the Sixers
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: for Paul George and some picks. Brad Stevens also took
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Mitchell Robinson from the Knicks to solidify the Celtics at center.
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: The Calves re upped Onovan Mitchell's deal. They're heavy in
• 4:17
  Speaker 1: the Lebron sweepstakes as well. The Pistons have moved some
• 4:21
  Speaker 1: guys around Jalen Duran is still unsigned, Tyrese Haliburt. We'll
• 4:25
  Speaker 1: be back with the Pacers who made the finals the
• 4:27
  Speaker 1: last time he was healthy. The Hornets blew it up,
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: moved on from lamellow Ball and Miles Bridges. Youth movement
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: now with kon Kinneppele and Brandon Miller. So so much
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: action going on in the East. Obviously at this point
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: right now, I believe the Heat should be favorites, but
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: there's a lot of interesting things happening in a lot
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: of pieces still to fall. Now. If Lebron comes back
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: to the Eastern Conference, I mean, all of the attention
• 4:52
  Speaker 1: is going to be over there. It's going to be
• 4:54
  Speaker 1: hard for it not to be anyway. Obviously, the West
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: still has some really competitive, fun young teams, but the
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: storylines of everything that has moved around, everything that I
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: just listed is going to be hard to drag the
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: attention away once NBA season starts up. I mean, these
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: are huge swings, huge changes when you look at just
• 5:12
  Speaker 1: the Celtics alone, that conversation around Jalen Brown, what it
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: has become as far as the reasons why people feel
• 5:21
  Speaker 1: he was moved, why the Celtics are saying he was moved.
• 5:25
  Speaker 1: What that is going to look like now as Jason
• 5:27
  Speaker 1: Tatum being unequivocally the number one guy and not having
• 5:31
  Speaker 1: Jalen there, what that means for the Sixers and the
• 5:35
  Speaker 1: pressure that will be on them that's already been on
• 5:37
  Speaker 1: them for years to get past the second round of
• 5:40
  Speaker 1: the playoffs.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: The expectations are now through the roof.
• 5:42
  Speaker 1: Obviously, the Heat have a two time MVP and a
• 5:45
  Speaker 1: champion and Giannis there and have already put some other
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: pieces around him as well and have kept Bam.
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: So you know, if you're just looking at what.
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: And that's not to mention what the Knicks, with the
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: Knicks have lost, what they're going to look like next year?
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: Are they going to be dealing with injuries because of
• 6:01
  Speaker 1: the song run? Obviously not wishing that at all, but
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: you know, all of these things are going to be
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: questions and will be coming into play. So I cannot
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: wait to see who comes out of the Eastern Conference.
• 6:16
  Speaker 1: And it may be one of those situations where because
• 6:19
  Speaker 1: the West isn't getting all the attention, they are quietly dominant.
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: But we'll have to wait and see. All I know
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: is a lot.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: Of big swings were taken, and some more pieces still
• 6:30
  Speaker 1: have to fall where they may to see who is
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: really going to be the favorite coming out of the
• 6:34
  Speaker 1: East to start the season next year.
• 6:37
