  Speaker 1: Hey guys, it's Joy Taylor. Welcome to The Daily Play.

  Speaker 1: Thanks so much for joining me. Make sure you hit subscribe.

  Speaker 1: Follow us on social at The Daily Play, Joy Taylor.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: Oh the field American feels so good. US men's national team,
• 0:20
  Speaker 1: let's go. The US men's national team pulled off a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: historic win in the World Cup on Wednesday in the
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: Bay Area, the area. First US men's team to ever
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: win three games in a single World Cup.
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: Well done gents.
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: Obviously, the expanded field helps, but this is a major
• 0:41
  Speaker 1: accomplishment for Mauricio Pacheccino's squad. The Stars and Stripes beat
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: Bosnia and Herzegovina to Neil and they did all of
• 0:52
  Speaker 1: that despite that ridiculous red card.
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: And this is the thing.
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: So they gave a red card to our star flow Ballugan,
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: and it's a very big deal, not just because they
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: lost him for the second half, but also he will
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: not be able to play in the next game against Belgium,
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: which is insane. And this is the issue that I
• 1:17
  Speaker 1: have with replay. I think replay is obviously super necessary.
• 1:20
  Speaker 1: I think it has made games better, I think it's
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: made them more fair. I think it has been good
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: for fans, and it really does clear up very obvious
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: calls that the referees can miss because they're humans and
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: they can't see the entire field or court.
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: So I get it. However, when it comes.
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: To slowing down full action plays to determine intense. If
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: you slow down a play where he is obviously stepping
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: on his ankle, but it's in slow motion, it looks
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: completely different than full speed, and in full speed it
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: was obviously not intentional when you slow it down, Yeah,
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: of course it looks like he was trying to rip
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: his achilles off the bone.
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: But that is the difference.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: Like, if you're going to use replay, use the common sense,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: use the discernment to determine the intense, even if it
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: looks horrible in slow motion. I feel like this is
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: sort of my issue when I'm talking about the Caitlin
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: Clark Elsa Thomas situation. In full speed, there wasn't a
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: foul called, which there should have been a foul called,
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: but the foul wasn't called. She wasn't thrown out of
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: the game in full speed because it didn't look like
• 2:41
  Speaker 1: she was punching her in full speed, and when you
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: watch the play in full speed, it is very obvious
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: that this wasn't intentional. And similarly with Belugan, this is
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: the same thing he is. They are first of all,
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: the other player stepped in front of him, and they
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: are playing a full speed game. This is what I
• 2:58
  Speaker 1: hate in football with the tarting ruled. If you slow
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: things down, it looks incredibly violent. It looks incredibly intentional.
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: Does it look violent and intentional in full speed, then
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: it is what it is. Then it is a red card,
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Then it is targeting, then it is a flagrant to
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: and an injection. But the slowing things down and manipulating
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: it for fans and for the referees to be like, yeah, okay,
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: obviously he stepped on his ankle, but in full speed, was.
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: It an intentional action?
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Because when you slow it down, of course it looks
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: intentional and that is the determining factor that may influence
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: the rest of this World Cup. And it drives me
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: absolutely insane. I absolutely hate this. That should not have
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: been a red card. It should have been a yellow card.
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: You should not have been ejected. They're going to not
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: have him for the next game unless they downgrade it,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: which they're not going to do because it's a World
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: Cup and it's completely ridiculous. So rams end on the
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: red card. However, the US battled back from that moment.
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: They got a bit of a break.
• 4:02
  Speaker 1: Because it was right around the hydration break, so they
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: were able to pull themselves back together. But they scored
• 4:08
  Speaker 1: a second goal on a beautiful free kick from Malik Tilman.
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: Christian Pallisic warrior played eighty eight minutes in his first
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: start since June twelfth.
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: Absolute guts from the men's team. He said, we had
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: to dig deep for that one.
• 4:22
  Speaker 1: I didn't go exactly to plan with the red card,
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: but it just shows what a good team we are.
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: We said in the hydration break, you know, this is
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: what it takes to be a really strong team, and
• 4:29
  Speaker 1: we were able to do it well.
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: Preview the Belgian.
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: Game before the game on Monday, but let's just continue
• 4:39
  Speaker 1: to talk about this game.
• 4:39
  Speaker 2: It was an absolute nail bier.
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: It was a huge relief to get that goal before halftime, but.
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: Just an absolute blow with the red card.
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: The hydration break allowed a bit of a moment for
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: them to regroup. They stuck together gorgeous free kick from Tilmen,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: and I I just think that this squad has a
• 5:03
  Speaker 1: very chippy style about them. They're incredibly aggressive offensively, which
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: I like. They don't always go for the extra pass.
• 5:11
  Speaker 1: It's okay if they get a boot on it, and
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: it's not perfect. I personally prefer that. I love a
• 5:19
  Speaker 1: fancy kick just like everyone else does, but if you
• 5:22
  Speaker 1: getting it in the net is what's important. And I
• 5:24
  Speaker 1: feel like so often people want the beautiful highlight moments
• 5:28
  Speaker 1: rather than playing ugly.
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: And getting the job done.
• 5:32
  Speaker 1: And I feel like that is not ugly, but you know,
• 5:34
  Speaker 1: not making it have to be this, you know, bicycle
• 5:38
  Speaker 1: kick to the corner of the net, get the job done.
• 5:41
  Speaker 1: And that's what they did. They showed absolute insane guts
• 5:46
  Speaker 1: to deal with that red card, overcome that and get
• 5:49
  Speaker 1: this win.
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: So kudos, hats off.
• 5:52
  Speaker 1: Unbelievable watch an unbelievable day of games, honestly, between Belgium
• 5:59
  Speaker 1: comeback in the England win and.
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: USA just a lot of great football. But this win
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: was historic.
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: I think it's huge for the men's team just in general.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: And I'm really frustrated that red card, so I'm gonna
• 6:20
  Speaker 1: have to get oprah.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: But unbelievable drop guys.
• 6:22
  Speaker 1: So it's been a summer of blockbusters already in the NBA.
• 6:25
  Speaker 1: We will update Lebron's movement shortly, but Jalen Brown has
• 6:32
  Speaker 1: been traded to the Sixers from the Celtics for Paul George.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: For two first.
• 6:41
  Speaker 1: Round picks and in twenty twenty eight and twenty thirty one,
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: and two second round picks in twenty eight and twenty thirty.
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: So he is leaving Boston after five All Star appearances,
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: winning the Eastern Conference and Finals MVP, and coming off
• 6:57
  Speaker 1: an amazing season carrying the load as a primary scorer
• 7:01
  Speaker 1: and leader of the team while Jason Tatum rehabbed from
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: his achilles injury. He made second team All NBA, averaged
• 7:07
  Speaker 1: twenty eight point seven points, six point nine rebounds, and
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: five point one assists, all matching or exceeding his prior
• 7:13
  Speaker 1: career highs and he is thirty years old.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: This is crazy to me.
• 7:19
  Speaker 1: Now, it's not crazy that Jaylen Brown got traded because
• 7:22
  Speaker 1: it seemed like the writing was on the wall after
• 7:24
  Speaker 1: the honest situation and that didn't come through. And it
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: really feels like Boston was willing to do anything.
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: To get Jaylen out of the building.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: And I don't understand that because a lot of people
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: feel like Jalen is on par and some people feel
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: like he is better than Jason Tatum.
• 7:39
  Speaker 2: I think they are pretty equal players.
• 7:42
  Speaker 1: And Jalen has showed up obviously in incredibly clutch moments
• 7:48
  Speaker 1: in a huge way, and this year leading the team
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: without Jason showed what a one to a star he is.
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: So Boston's eagerness to get him out of the building
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: to the Sixers to send him with Tyrese Maxi, vj Edgecombe,
• 8:04
  Speaker 1: Dean Wade and Joelle Embiid that's.
• 8:08
  Speaker 2: Crazy, Like, why would you send him to the Sixers.
• 8:12
  Speaker 1: You're just trying to get him out of the building by
• 8:14
  Speaker 1: all means necessary.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: The Sixers, they're in the East.
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: Like I for Paul George and listen. I like PG,
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: but this is his third time being traded for a haul.
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: He's thirty six years old.
• 8:30
  Speaker 1: He averaged sixteen point seven points and five point three
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: rebounds last year. He was also suspended for the NBA's
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: anti drug policy. I mean, I'm not saying that PG
• 8:41
  Speaker 1: is at nearing like near the end of his career,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: but this is not an even trade there. I don't
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: get the strategy from the Celtics there, like I was
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: seeing a lot of reactions online. It just seems like
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: they were willing to do anything to get rid of
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: Jaalen and I don't get that now. If you're gonna
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: break up Jalen and Jason Tatum Rye to send him
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: to the West to the Sixers, I know they got
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: a haul, but like the Celtics are not in a rebuild,
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: so it's just really bizarre. I'm sure we're going to
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: get more stories as the week goes on about how
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: and why this went down, but a pretty big shock.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: Not so much that he got traded, but to go
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: to the Sixers is wild. The Sixers are not a
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: team that I generally consider to be a contender because
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: year after year they seem to fall short. They make
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: it to the second round and then they're gone and
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: Joelle Embiid cannot stay healthy. But I have the ultimate
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: faith in Jalen Brown and he is going to have
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: a chip on his shoulder like never before.
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: So they are going to be incredibly interesting.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, what is going on in the Eastern Conference
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: staying in the NBA just.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Wan' to let you know.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: Analysis is basically going to become a Lebron daily update.
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: And so we find out where he's going. But some
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: more news from his camp, not from his camp, but
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: well yeah, from camp and just in general on his plans.
• 10:02
  Speaker 1: Sean Shrania is reporting that Brahm will be open taking
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: the veteran minimum to join a contender and compete for
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a title. He said, this is not going to be
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: financially driven, money driven decision for Lebron James coming up.
• 10:14
  Speaker 1: Lebron will not be in a rush in his decision.
• 10:16
  Speaker 1: Like I said, we'll be talking about this for a while.
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be a wonderful summer. I imagine he'll break
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: this news from the golf course. I'm so interested to
• 10:26
  Speaker 1: see where he ends up and all of this news
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: about what his strategy is and what his desires are,
• 10:34
  Speaker 1: and you know this is his his swan song. It
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: does make it very fascinating to see who he ultimately
• 10:44
  Speaker 1: decides to go with. Rich Paul said once he got
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: to a place where he said, listen, man, I understand
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: where things are, and.
• 10:50
  Speaker 2: I get it.
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: I know that's where I could probably make the most money,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: meaning the Lakers. But for me where I'm at today,
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: it's probably not the best thing for me to do.
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: He also Rich Paul talked about how happiness was a
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: deciding factor for Lebron, and listen, when you get to
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: that point in your career, to really any point in
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: your career where you have the leverage and the choice,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: happiness does become your priority. When money is not the thing,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: when legacy is not the thing, when rings are not
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: the thing, when records are not the thing.
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: He has all of that, so you know, And he
• 11:20
  Speaker 2: said that.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: It's not that he was unhappy with the Lakers, but like,
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: you can't make a decision based off of money and
• 11:26
  Speaker 1: happiness in every scenario. Sometimes you have to make a choice,
• 11:29
  Speaker 1: and for him, this was the choice. So I'm fascinated
• 11:32
  Speaker 1: to find out where he goes the fact that he
• 11:34
  Speaker 1: is this is completely not a money driven decision. None
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: of us want to count other people's pockets, obviously, but
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: if you're going to leave the place where you can
• 11:41
  Speaker 1: make the most money, probably shouldn't do it for money.
• 11:46
  Speaker 1: So it does actually make sense that he would say
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: that this is not a money driven decision, Like, Lebron
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: has lots of money, but I don't ever want to
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: say that somebody has enough money. Well, I think the
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: billionaires have enough money. But the trillionaires, the billionaires that
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: are closer to jillionaires have enough money. I'm not counting
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: the bronze pockets. But in this situation, if you're going
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: to make this decision, it can't be about money. It
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: shouldn't be about money. It should be about strategy. It
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: should be about where you're going to be happiest. It
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: should be about where you're going to thrive at this
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: point in your career. So really exciting stuff. Congrats again
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: to the US men's national team. No shout outs whatsoever
