- 0:09Speaker 2: the Daily Play Joy Taylor. The torch has been passed
- 0:12Speaker 2: an international soccer Despite an incredible run to the final,
- 0:16Speaker 2: Lionel Messi and Argentina came up short against Spain. La
- 0:19Speaker 2: Roja held Argentina scoreless, just like they did to every
- 0:22Speaker 2: team besides Belgium during this nearly perfect run to the
- 0:25Speaker 2: country's second ever World Cup title, so they joined France
- 0:28Speaker 2: and Uruguay, who also have two. Argentina has three, Germany
- 0:32Speaker 2: and Italy have four piece and Brazil leads all countries
- 0:34Speaker 2: with five. Spain dominated the game, held Argentina's only two shots,
- 0:38Speaker 2: enforcing keeper Emmy Martinez into a World Cup final record
- 0:42Speaker 2: eleven saves.
- 0:43Speaker 1: He was war king, Okay, do you hear me working?
- 0:47Speaker 2: He played great, but in the end of the lack
- 0:50Speaker 2: of offense from Argentina and a strike from front Touris
- 0:54Speaker 2: sealed the deal for Spain.
- 0:55Speaker 1: Actually kind of felt bad form.
- 0:57Speaker 2: At some point, because I mean, it's just, yeah, he
- 1:00Speaker 2: had so many incredible saves, but it just felt inevitable.
- 1:03Speaker 2: This is a real passing of the torch moment. It
- 1:05Speaker 2: will likely be Messi's last World Cup and having a
- 1:09Speaker 2: young star like Laminia mal and his team when the
- 1:11Speaker 2: trophy really paid off that epic picture that I was
- 1:14Speaker 2: talking about with Lionel and lemin that he took twenty
- 1:18Speaker 2: years ago. Argentina didn't take the loss well and he
- 1:20Speaker 2: had some altercations with Spain on the pitch after the match.
- 1:23Speaker 2: They played physical all tournament and Enzo Fernando's hard tackle
- 1:27Speaker 2: late in the second half got him kicked out because
- 1:30Speaker 2: it was his second yellow which equals are red and
- 1:33Speaker 2: he was done for the day. So after that there
- 1:34Speaker 2: were down to ten men, Argentina was and it just,
- 1:37Speaker 2: you know, felt like a matter of time before Spain wanted,
- 1:39Speaker 2: especially with all of the shots on goal that they were.
- 1:43Speaker 1: Having, I mean a World Cup final record.
- 1:45Speaker 2: Argentina did try to hang on for penalties, and of course,
- 1:48Speaker 2: you know the way that they've played all all tournament,
- 1:52Speaker 2: all World Cup, it really felt like, you know, there
- 1:55Speaker 2: was still a chance because they've scored.
- 1:57Speaker 1: So many late goals. But I think this is the
- 1:59Speaker 1: right I'll come.
- 2:00Speaker 2: Spain dominated the entire tournament and they played how they
- 2:04Speaker 2: played throughout the entire World Cup. In this game, MESSI had,
- 2:07Speaker 2: you know, incredible epic moment after epic moment. But in
- 2:10Speaker 2: the end, Spain just played a completely dominant brand of
- 2:14Speaker 2: football and they deserve to win this World Cup. They're
- 2:16Speaker 2: at a chance to defend this World Cup on home soil
- 2:19Speaker 2: in twenty thirty as the next Men's World Cup will
- 2:23Speaker 2: be hosted by Spain, Portugal and Morocco, which I hope
- 2:28Speaker 2: to go to. I love all three of those countries,
- 2:30Speaker 2: been to all three. So yeah, So overall, really exciting
- 2:34Speaker 2: World Cup. Lots of great moments, lots of big stars,
- 2:40Speaker 2: lots of things to discuss, and lots of controversy. And
- 2:44Speaker 2: I can't wait for the Women's World Cup, which you know,
- 2:47Speaker 2: as we know, the US women's national team is incredible
- 2:50Speaker 2: and will be competing to win that.
- 2:53Speaker 1: So World Cup is over. Congrats to Spain.
- 2:55Speaker 2: And we got to see the young goat versus the
- 2:59Speaker 2: old goat and a real passing of the torch. So
- 3:03Speaker 2: the WNBA is racking right now. Sunday was a great example.
- 3:08Speaker 2: I'll give you a rundown of everything it happened. First,
- 3:10Speaker 2: Dallas beat La in a matinee. Paige Beckers was on
- 3:12Speaker 2: a heater with twenty five points left the game in
- 3:14Speaker 2: the fourth quarter after a scary collision, but the Wings
- 3:17Speaker 2: held on to win thanks to twenty points from Marique Gobowale.
- 3:21Speaker 2: The Sparks camp short, but Cameron Brink scored double digits
- 3:23Speaker 2: for the second time in her third game back since
- 3:26Speaker 2: the Commissioner's Cup.
- 3:27Speaker 1: In Atlanta, My Dog Jordan.
- 3:28Speaker 2: Canada hit a buzzer beater to beat the Sky, helping
- 3:31Speaker 2: Angel respeat her former team, but unfortunately Angel left the
- 3:34Speaker 2: game with a knee injury.
- 3:35Speaker 1: Big win for Atlanta.

- 3:38Speaker 2: of the WNA playoff picture. In Phoenix, the Mercury snapped
- 3:42Speaker 2: the five game losing streak with a seventy two to
- 3:45Speaker 2: sixty three win over the Connecticut Sun thanks to two
- 3:47Speaker 2: of their stars, to want To Bonner season high twenty
- 3:50Speaker 2: one points and Kalia Cooper added twelve of her eighteen
- 3:52Speaker 2: in the second half. So much going on the WWA

- 4:05Speaker 2: The league has become incredibly politicized. Everyone is discussing how
- 4:11Speaker 2: the black players are being treated. Obviously, Caitlin Clark is
- 4:17Speaker 2: just going to continue to be a controversial topic all
- 4:21Speaker 2: in although this has been a really fun season for
