🇳🇴 Norway Stays Perfect | Switzerland Survives | Finland Heartbroken | UEFA WOMEN'S EURO 2025 MD9 · Into the Channel ⚽️ A Podcast Primarily About Women's Football

0:03
Hello, Kate. Welcome to Into the Channel
0:07
podcast primarily about women's football.
0:08
I am your host Dean Suspitas and as always, I'm joined by my Co
0:12
host Mr. Grant Angle. What is up man?
0:16
I'm just feeling fantastic today, buddy.
0:18
What a what a lovely day that was of football.
0:21
Weather was nice out here in the Pacific Northwest.
0:24
I just can't tell you how great I'm feeling right now.
0:26
Wonderful day of football. A little worm in here a minute.
0:33
There we go. Fresh air all.
0:35
Right there it is. Much better.
0:36
Appreciate it. All right, big day of football,
0:39
you know some some high stakes in one of the matches.
0:42
You know, some fun stakes in the other match.
0:44
A lot of cardio in that. In that second match, Group A
0:47
comes to a close. I'm not sure if it ended up
0:50
qualifying as a Group of Life, but shout out to the goalie
0:54
Jackie Oatley for, you know, hopping on the Group of Life
0:58
bandwagon. She applied to Group DI think.
1:00
I think she's right about that. I think Group D probably earned
1:03
that title. But today we're talking Group A
1:05
Norway, Switzerland advance. Lot of drama today where you
1:09
want to get started. I think we should start with a
1:11
beverage. I think maybe a maybe a
1:13
celebratory beverage, if you will you.
1:16
Know what I want to do also cheers I want to do I want to
1:19
cheers to some of the community members, some of the great
1:22
friends of the show. So cheers summer cook, Hizzy,
1:25
young Frederick, you already know Meg, MO, Melanie Blade
1:29
Runner semi sound a lot of new a lot of new friends, a lot of old
1:32
friends pop their head out and we just are just happy to be
1:35
part of the community really. So cheers to all you guys.
1:38
Cheers to the great football. Of course, absolutely to new to
1:42
new friends and old Frederick will will, will we got more for
1:47
you later, buddy. You'll be referenced a couple
1:50
times in this program. I I just want to say, you know,
1:54
the beer today I made sure to go for the red, the red label
2:00
because like you said, there's a match with a lot of drama, an
2:03
important match, an historic match.
2:06
So I think that's where I'd like to get started.
2:09
I think it's only right. So let's go.
2:11
Norway 4, Iceland three. You're God damn right that's how
2:16
it ended. I don't care about two garbage
2:17
time goals at the end. Nobody cares about that.
2:21
It was an ass kicking from pretty much jump street.
2:25
Everybody look out the monsters out of its cage.
2:29
All the everybody taught all this Norway soft.
2:32
Norway doesn't play that well. How am I faced with that four
2:35
goals? The links herself speaking about
2:38
my guy Frederick, educated at me on blue sky gout set.
2:42
The Norwegian word for links is galpe, and I believe, if I'm
2:47
understanding the context clues correctly, I believe Norwegian
2:50
fans, Braun fans in particular, refer to senior Gallop said as
2:54
the lynx, which I looked up. I did a little research.
2:56
It turns out the lynx actually kind of a friendly feline animal
3:01
that lives outside, not this one should rip your face off with
3:05
goals, tear your heart right out of your chest.
3:07
So I'm talking about stop playing with us.
3:10
People had a lot to say about Norway before tired of this.
3:14
On to the on to the quarterfinals.
3:16
Using the quarterfinals wonderful yeah, disregard the
3:20
the XG from from not important, not important real, real G
3:25
enterprise here. How about the young prodigy?
3:29
I mean, we we need a nickname we need an ITC nickname for Sony
3:34
Gobset. We'll workshop we'll workshop
3:35
something we'll we'll see if we can put a little spin on the on
3:37
the links angle. But how about Sony Gobset?
3:40
Just springboarding yourself into the Golden Boot race.
3:44
Let's go just one match. She's like, hey, I want to be in
3:46
this. And in and she was that that
3:49
finish on that corner kick, the first goal, the timing, the
3:53
precision on even kind of fooled our pal, a friend of the show,
3:56
Leanne Sanderson, Arsenal legend.
3:58
Of course, at like at first she was like, oh, didn't even get a
4:01
ton on it, but found a way to beat the keeper.
4:02
And then you can like you could hear Leanne as the replay go,
4:05
she was like, oh, she hit that out of the air.
4:07
I don't know. She was like great finish, to be
4:10
fair. Like she like totally, totally
4:12
reversed her opinion because she's very smart and
4:14
understands, you know, she was given new information once she
4:17
saw that incredible finish. The kid was just on fire today.
4:21
Yeah, Leanne was given that new information, which was a camera
4:24
angle of seeing you Gobsett hammering the ball low and hard
4:27
into the corner and the keeper having, you know, no shot.
4:31
I mean, Gapsett even had chances earlier in the match.
4:34
Well, let me let me actually start here you go top line.
4:37
So obviously there's the two goals and the two assists.
4:39
We'll start there just full fully on board.
4:42
You know the the the Golden Boot campaign in full effect now for
4:46
seeing Gobsett somehow, but also seven chances created.
4:50
No other player in the match had more than 3C gap said also had
4:54
17 duels in the match that led pretty much every player in the
4:58
match as well. This is the wildest that that I
5:00
found. So 2 actual goals on the day C
5:04
gap says XG 0.11. Sure turn that into two.
5:10
Two real goals. Her expected assist 0.55 S
5:14
expected goal contributions 0.66.
5:18
Real goal contributions 4.00. You God damn right freedom on
5:23
him was on 1/2 the the the interplay between those 2 was
5:27
just way too much for Iceland. Like didn't have a shot out
5:31
there. Like once you know, and you get
5:35
the the opening John's daughter goal and I was like, OK, they're
5:39
playing Fisker Strand out there. I don't know how great this is
5:41
going to be for her confidence. We we've had a lot to say about
5:44
John's daughter. We're looking forward to seeing
5:46
her play for Angel City Norway unfazed.
5:50
A lot of times, you know, when when people have questions about
5:53
a team and like how well they play together and like how tough
5:57
they are and all that stuff, they wilt after an opening goal
6:00
like that. Not today.
6:02
Like Galpset grabbed the game by the scruff of the neck and
6:06
started creating chances immediately after that John
6:08
Zotter goal. And then, you know, it was like
6:11
9 minutes later, 8 minutes later, whatever it was, has that
6:14
fantastic finish and they're off to the races from there.
6:16
Yeah. No, I mean she's an absolute
6:18
genius. I thought a great call out on
6:21
mana as well. Really good finishing was on
6:24
point, positioning on point. If you're Norway, well, I feel
6:29
like we have a pretty I am by. The way.
6:31
We we have a big enough sample size looking at the performance
6:37
and the productivity and the output, sort of like for the, I
6:39
don't want to say the older school Norway players, the more
6:42
senior Norway players. I'm not sure you know how the
6:46
line UPS going to shake out here.
6:47
But we had we had some fun with me.
6:49
Like, you know, where are the Gallup set minutes at?
6:51
Like they, they've got to come at some point here.
6:54
Yeah, after this performance though, where Iceland, you know,
6:58
they are playing, they are playing tough.
6:59
Like you can see them scratch back two goals really late.
7:02
You know, the score line ends 43 and you know, like a a fun
7:06
contested match that I think everybody was was interested in
7:09
like squeezing the last bit of group stage, you know, magic out
7:12
of out of this one. I just kind of got the feeling
7:15
that like I'm not sure how you don't play senior got upset in
7:18
the starting line up at this point.
7:20
I don't know what that means that I'm not here to kind of
7:22
like put players on the bench or put senior players on the bench
7:25
necessarily. But you could just look at
7:28
what's possible, how explosive she is, how creative.
7:32
And she is like the, the, the genius level of her passing, her
7:35
creativity or, you know, just kind of like everything, the
7:37
positioning or her physicality, her touches, like everything's
7:41
just super, super on point. I don't think you can keep that
7:44
player out of the starting line up.
7:46
No, no, I don't know. I don't know why you would.
7:48
So I mean, I know you talked like there's going to have to be
7:52
some shifting, but like we talked about, we like the look
7:56
in the Finland match when Gobsett came on to the field and
8:00
right and was behind her on the left wing.
8:03
So yeah, I mean, what we talked about.
8:05
Let's go. So Gobsett on the left wing,
8:08
Hegeberg at #9, CGH on the right wing, you play Manem in the
8:12
middle at #10 and then you know, some combination of Engen and
8:20
Righten. Because I'd like to see Bo Risa
8:23
played well today too, so I'd like to see her on the field.
8:25
Let me get to it. So I of course, I try to rattle
8:27
off at 11 and immediately get a little a little flustered
8:31
because I'm going to name 12 players to be like, just play
8:33
them all, whatever or. Run a 444.
8:36
Merritt, Bratberg, Lund, you know, friend of the show.
8:39
We enjoyed watching her play for Braun in the Champions League 2
8:43
years ago. Has not really looked
8:45
consistently good in these few matches.
8:48
Comes on, gets a yellow shortly after coming onto the field.
8:52
I guess it was like 20 minutes after coming out of the fish,
8:54
came out of half time and then gets the red on what was pretty
8:58
clearly a dive. But that's neither here nor
8:59
there and I'm I'm OK with it fine.
9:03
Like I thought I like the back 4 today better with with Lund out
9:06
there. No disrespect to her, but I was
9:09
fine with it. So with Lund out there, could
9:13
you do something? You can drop Engen back, you
9:16
know, I'm sure about all that Barcelona experience.
9:18
That's kind of what I'm thinking, man.
9:20
You, you could play Hansen at left back, Engen at centre back
9:23
with Harviken. I think I might be all right
9:26
with that. Look to our to our Norwegian
9:28
pals, Please, you know, let us know who, what do you want the
9:31
11 to look like? Yeah.
9:33
And I think, I think it's also a match up dependent too because I
9:36
mean it's either Italy or Portugal, probably Italy,
9:39
although you know like that's still that's still up in the
9:41
air. We'll, we'll get to that a
9:42
little bit later, but basically, do you need a more offensive
9:45
heavy lineup or do you need a more sort of like a lineup
9:49
that's going to physically hold up against that, an Italian side
9:52
potentially. So definitely some questions to
9:54
answer, but I thought a lot of good positive things to think
9:58
about with Norway. But the one thing that I, I I'm
10:00
going to take into the quarterfinals is like each of
10:02
the three matches came with a little bit of baggage for Norway
10:08
and not the same set of baggage for all three.
10:10
But yes, a little a little something to think about, a
10:12
little something to worry about. But to their credit, they've
10:15
like flexed different muscles across these three matches that
10:19
make them from a dark from a dark horse perspective.
10:23
Now they do sort of fit the profile like they could be
10:26
explosive, they could look a little wonky.
10:28
They're super loaded from a town standpoint, you know,
10:31
distribution, age and skill wise.
10:34
You know, they've a weird red card in there.
10:36
They they're, they really do fit the wild card mold.
10:39
I think that's fair. I think.
10:40
I think wild card is fine. I mean, can the ace of spades be
10:46
a wild card? Because they're going to be out
10:48
here smashing teams. You want to you want to take all
10:50
of Italy's best players and all of Portugal's best players and
10:53
put them on one team. Still light work for Norway.
10:56
Don't care. On to the on to the semi final
10:59
for Norway. Did you get a have were you?
11:02
I know, I know. The clips album either drops at
11:04
midnight tonight. Did you get an early cut of it?
11:06
And you just been like banging it all day because you're very
11:09
aggressive today. I mean I I'm extremely ready to
11:13
listen to it. No, I I didn't have a chance
11:15
yet, but once I saw like once the match started to play out, I
11:20
was just like let's fucking go like we're here.
11:22
This is what happened. This is what I was waiting for.
11:24
Like I know the team has a lot of good players.
11:27
A lot of their a lot of our good players weren't even out there
11:30
today. So I mean like I understand the
11:32
knock has been oh, they have a lot of good players, but they
11:34
don't play well together. This is the start of it, man.
11:37
This is this is like who Shaq called them, like the others,
11:40
like some of the role players and obviously Galp said is
11:43
anything but a role player. But some of the role players can
11:45
now get some confidence out of this match and go in there and
11:49
say, oh, OK, now I'm looking up and there's Wrighton, there's
11:52
Hegeberg, there's CGH, there's Ingrid Negan.
11:55
I got we got a bunch of Champions League winners.
11:57
We have the all time leading scorer in the history of the
11:59
Champions League. We got the the the young links
12:01
out here causing havoc for defenses.
12:04
I mean, they they have an excellent goalkeeper hazard
12:08
moments, but a good goalkeeper. So, you know, go ahead, go ahead
12:13
and score. Yeah, go ahead.
12:15
It was, it was a fast downgrade, a pretty good goalkeeper.
12:20
So yeah, go ahead, go ahead and score two goals, we can score 3.
12:24
Go ahead and score three goals, we can score 4.
12:25
It's fine. We we saw a less grumpy version
12:28
of Norway today. You know, I think there, there
12:31
was just something a little off about the first definitely that
12:34
first match up. So who knows?
12:36
And, and I'm with you in the sense of like the whole notion
12:39
of like, they can't really get along.
12:40
They're great. They don't really play well
12:41
together. Each tournament, to your point,
12:44
you know, you always say this and I'm a full, you know, I'm a
12:46
full subscriber to this theory. Each tournament is its own
12:50
journey, its own ecosystem, its own start, its own finish with
12:54
its own momentum built into it. So it could just be that this is
12:58
a tournament where Norway kind of sheds that label.
13:02
And who knows, maybe Gaupset is the catalyst to like playing a
13:06
different brand of football, just kind of opening things up.
13:08
I, I feel like the ball was moving a little bit more like a
13:10
play like Friedamanum is going to benefit from that great
13:14
vision. She's kind of like looking
13:15
around and, and uses the whole field for sure.
13:18
So I think I don't know if this could be them turning a corner.
13:21
Really excited to see them in the quarterfinals.
13:25
I think I think good things are on the horizon feeling extra
13:28
good above my pick for them to make the semi final feeling not
13:34
not terrible. I think it's life about all
13:36
Yeah, I I mean, I think all four of my semi final picks, I think
13:39
all four of both of our semi final picks are all extremely
13:43
live. I think I might have had the
13:44
Netherlands in mind. Not not extremely live.
13:47
They look the opposite of extremely live.
13:49
They look extremely UN alive. They're in trouble.
13:52
All right, let's scoot ahead. Another absolute.
13:55
I mean not really classic, really fun game.
13:58
Finland won, Switzerland won high drama the first half,
14:02
little bit choppy. Finland needs a goal.
14:05
Switzerland, despite only really needing to kind of sit back and
14:09
not allow a goal, decided they wanted to get a real really
14:12
aggressive and and score 1. And I think have that moment
14:15
created like a very weird second-half, like a very wide
14:18
open, sort of clumsy, sort of sort of tired second-half that
14:23
that made for like really high drama and high entertainment.
14:26
But in this one, no player had more than two shots.
14:29
It was a little cagey. And then no, no Finland player
14:32
had more than one shot. So slow first half, couple
14:36
chances. Second-half though, things
14:37
really, really got warmed up. Yeah.
14:39
I mean, I think it's, I think it makes sense for these two teams
14:42
to be cagey. I think if Switzerland is not
14:44
the youngest team in the tournament, they are.
14:48
No, they're the ones. They are the youngest, OK, yeah.
14:50
So, you know, they're the youngest team of the tournament.
14:52
It's not like Finland has like a ton of, you know, experience in
14:57
in these kind of settings. I mean, and please to to the
15:00
people who've been following longer than me, let me know if
15:03
I'm wrong on that. But like for them to kind of
15:05
have this, you know, win and you're in type of scenario, you
15:10
know, the nerves had to be high. I think that showed in some
15:13
spots. But you know, getting that
15:16
penalty, you know, with like 10 minutes left and like Kwika just
15:20
cashing it like that to go from like having that caginess and
15:24
just the tightness that you're going to feel and then having
15:27
that release and being like, OK, we're 11 minutes plus stoppage
15:31
time from doing this thing against the home country.
15:36
It I mean, that had to be a crazy feeling in itself.
15:39
And then football happened. Yeah, it it, You know, I'd love
15:43
to turn these things back on to to myself, but it it it made me
15:46
think about my Iceland prediction where I was like, oh,
15:48
you know, I think Iceland's going to be the team take it
15:50
right down to the wire, you know, get their heart broken
15:53
late by Switzerland. Switzerland gets through.
15:54
That's usually how these things go.
15:56
Nothing in the fairest etcetera, etcetera.
15:59
Pretty much happened exactly like that.
16:00
It was only it was Finland, not Iceland.
16:03
Finland probably they got to be heartbroken.
16:05
Like they kind of could have won all three matches.
16:08
They won the group and they're going to go home one, one and
16:11
one after winning the opener and and just not being able to kind
16:15
of like it break all the way through.
16:17
But they were they were tough and they were game in this
16:20
match. Obviously they they draw, they
16:22
draw that penalty. It was really funny because
16:26
Jackie Elty was in the middle of saying they need to be careful
16:29
not to do anything silly, like just, and the referee like
16:34
raises his head, you know, like kind of like, you know, to make
16:37
the signals for the penalty. And she doesn't say anything for
16:40
like 5 seconds. I think she's in shock.
16:42
She's like, I cannot believe that they committed a penalty.
16:45
It was so egregious. And it was just like, did that
16:47
actually happen? Like a foul?
16:49
Like it was pretty bad from Caligarius.
16:51
The Yeah, terrible foul all time, at least in my view.
16:55
And you know, again, somebody drop a YouTube clip if you could
16:58
find a better one. The greatest use of the word
17:01
silly on a sports broadcast I've ever heard in my life.
17:05
You're like, you know, people will say like, oh, silly
17:08
mistake, whatever. You know, they kind of get
17:10
thrown in there. The elongated silly as the
17:13
disaster is happening was just so perfectly done.
17:19
Yeah, man, I mean, to your earlier point, like, yeah,
17:23
probably not a classic match, but super high drama knowing,
17:28
knowing the stakes and knowing that Finland had to go for it at
17:30
the end. And for when the Swiss commit
17:33
that, it's just like how how could anybody?
17:36
And, you know, maybe I maybe I'm alone in this or maybe I was
17:38
like a prisoner of the moment to kind of like watching it after I
17:43
already Full disclosure, I had to watch the match after after I
17:47
watched Norway, you know, fight to their valiant victory after
17:51
after work. But when it happened, I was just
17:53
like, how in the world can the Swiss recover from this?
17:57
It it's funny. I I was watching obviously, you
18:00
know this match live and not watching Norway search something
18:03
that was funny because like when when Sydney gots it gets the
18:06
brace, Jackie Italy just casually is like, OK, Norway up
18:09
two to one. Sydney gots it with a brace.
18:10
I almost fell out of my chair. I can't wait.
18:14
Why? I need to watch this, but I was
18:17
like, let me just be patient at fish, but perfect use of the
18:19
word silly. And at the I I mentioned up top,
18:22
Switzerland was playing like, I don't know, a little reckless.
18:26
Like in the second-half, they were just like making runs,
18:28
ripping shots. They're just like on breakaways,
18:30
trying to do stuff. I think they had the shot
18:32
advantage in this match where they didn't need a goal yet 16
18:34
to 6, they have the shot advantage.
18:36
All they need to do is kind of like keep Finland from scoring
18:39
in the advance and they almost blew it.
18:42
But I think it's weird because because they were so active and
18:45
the game was so up and down, I wasn't shocked that they gave up
18:48
the goal. But on that same note, because
18:52
it was so up and down, I was like, Switzerland's probably
18:54
going to score here and it's going to go 11.
18:56
I, I really kind of wasn't, wasn't surprised that they were
18:58
able to kind of equalize. They were looking very lively
19:02
and Finland gassed a little bit. You know, they obviously gave
19:06
it, gave it everything to get to that point.
19:08
And you could just see that Switzerland was they had
19:11
reloaded with their Subs and like they kind of played it
19:14
pretty intelligently after playing it not so intelligently
19:17
for the first 60-70 minutes. Yeah, that is a good point that
19:21
I mean they brought on, you know, the reinforcements sooner.
19:24
Gorsevich, Fondler, Pilgrim, Lehman, Jimilei.
19:29
You know, I think Livia Peng comported herself pretty well.
19:33
That save that she made right before the half where she has to
19:37
like kind of dive backwards. And it was one of those weird
19:39
ones where it's not even like a player ripped a shot.
19:43
It's like a ricochet off the shin.
19:44
So it's like hard to totally expect it.
19:46
But for her to have the reaction time to like get down, pick it
19:50
like that, you know, massive, massive performance from her
19:54
from what I can tell. Yeah, Olivia Pang, 23 years old,
19:57
signed a four year deal with Chelsea recently. 1.04 Goals
20:01
prevented. She had a couple she had she had
20:04
one right before halftime and one right before the death in
20:07
the in stoppage time. So she was great for sure.
20:11
Geraldine Reuteler, absolute bulldog out here rocking the
20:15
Kawhi braids, just like I mean, absolute beast basically breaks
20:19
free on that play. Finland falls asleep.
20:21
You know, I think she I mean, she's definitely ripping a shot
20:24
there that finds its way to Shamali like you mentioned, 22
20:27
year old striker from PSV and a historic goal for Switzerland
20:32
and a really exciting moment. A couple other quick shout outs.
20:35
Iman Benny, who you're going to get to see a lot of it.
20:37
Manchester City. I mean, how excited are you at
20:41
this point? She's awesome, man.
20:43
I can't believe how good she is. Like, I mean, you know, hands
20:46
up. Full disclosure, was not
20:48
familiar with her game before this, before this tournament.
20:52
And then every time I've seen her play in these three matches,
20:54
I was like, oh, she's like that. I didn't, I did not realize
20:59
that. So, you know, I don't know where
21:02
they're going to decide to put her on the field in Manchester
21:04
City, but it should, wherever it is, it should be in the starting
21:08
11 for at least an hour every every match.
21:11
Like it looks like she's looks like she's ready to go.
21:14
Her and Fujino, I mean, that's, I mean just some potential
21:17
dynamite there. But again, Congrats to
21:20
Switzerland. They advance.
21:22
I think I'll remember this match.
21:24
But if we're going to keep it, keep it honest, this Switzerland
21:28
team about to take on Spain, it'll be a sea of red in the
21:32
crowd. And I don't know that that one
21:35
has some some legit shark week potential that we we might that
21:39
might have been Switzerland Swans on this match, because I
21:41
think that that Spain match up from what I saw today, Spain
21:44
might have a lot of fun versus the Switzerland side.
21:47
Yeah, I think that's probably fair, but you never know.
21:50
I mean, could the underdog story continue with the home nation
21:53
against the absolute juggernauts?
21:56
Oh, no, wait. Oh man, I do know it it, it will
21:59
not continue. And I that brings me to
22:01
something that JP Dellacamera said during the the Norway
22:04
match. He said something very close to
22:07
Norway will play the Group B runner up.
22:10
Italy is set to play Spain, But you never know.
22:13
And, and End Quote. And I quickly responded, no, I
22:17
do know, I know, I know Spain's going to destroy Italy.
22:20
I don't think it's going to be particularly close.
22:22
I think, you know, the, the interesting thing that I'm going
22:25
to be watching is thinking about the machinations, because if
22:30
Spain routes Italy and Portugal gets a win, then we could be in
22:36
some goal differential territory that could put Portugal through.
22:41
And I think that's I, I wouldn't say that's worse than a 40%
22:46
chance. Well, it's six goals between
22:49
them. That's three.
22:52
Three goals one way, three goals the other way.
22:53
That gets it done all of a sudden, if it's four one way
22:56
through, you know, like it, it could absolutely happen.
22:59
That's the only and those two teams drew Italy and Portugal.
23:02
So Italy has the potential to maybe win the group tomorrow if
23:07
they can shock the world and make JP de la cameras
23:10
prediction, you know, possibly come true or they can get
23:13
eliminated. So I mean, massive day tomorrow
23:16
for Italy should be very, very high stakes.
23:19
Couple fun matches. Group B tomorrow.
23:21
If they try that park the bus got the NACIO type stuff against
23:27
Spain they could lose 4 to nothing, They could absolutely
23:30
lose 4 to nothing, and if Portugal manages to win two to
23:33
nothing then that's the scenario you're talking.
23:35
About they could employ that strategy and park an actual bus
23:38
and still lose 4 to nothing tomorrow. 100% yeah.
23:41
Like Alexia wouldn't just hit the ball through two of the bus
23:44
windows into the upper 90. I'm pretty sure she could.
23:47
Yeah, knock a kids lunch box out of his hand.
23:49
Yep, absolutely. I wouldn't put it past her.
23:52
All right man, anything else you want to hit for a get out of
23:54
here? No, I think that's it.
23:56
I'm obviously exhausted from all the energy I expended early in
23:59
the show. Sleepy boys podcast.
24:01
I I I. I'm in desperate need of the 65
24:06
minutes sub. You just get me off the field.
24:09
Look, Coach, I gave you everything I had.
24:13
You know, we're at 29 minutes. I gave you good.
24:15
I gave you good 29. I gave you a silent 29.
24:21
No man, what a day. What a day of football.
24:23
I'm so happy for all of our pals over in Norway who have been so
24:26
kind and and supporting the show.
24:28
You guys should celebrate this one.
24:30
And again, you know, to make an American football comparison, I
24:34
guess I do have one more thing. Our pal Dino, the great host of
24:37
this program, is a Philadelphia Eagles fan in the National
24:40
Football League in the United States of America.
24:42
They won the Super Bowl that go birds.
24:45
They won the Super Bowl this year in dominating fashion and
24:49
at the end of the game of of that Super Bowl, the opposing
24:53
quarterback when Patrick Mahomes threw a couple of garbage time
24:57
touchdown. Now garbage time is a term we
24:59
use in America for when one team is getting smoked and then they
25:02
just kind of put up some stats at the end.
25:05
That's what happened. I'm giving that gift to Norway.
25:07
I I hope a bunch of our pals are like, yeah, dummy, we we've
25:10
heard that term before. We know what that is.
25:12
Doesn't matter. Let's not worry about those
25:14
garbage time goals. Who cares?
25:16
Big victory. On to the quarterfinals like I
25:19
said, and then on to the semi finals after that.
25:21
I believe it, man. Now, now all that has to happen.
25:24
Let's close out this group stage nine group stage shows in the
25:28
books. 3 to go and then, you know, we, we haven't really
25:31
talked about this, but we'll be back with another, another 4
25:35
peat when the quarterfinals kick off.
25:37
I think. I think those matches take place
25:39
on four straight days. Sorry, I didn't know what time
25:41
it is. That'll be four straight ITC
25:44
episodes to accompany this great European Championship football.
25:48
