- speaker-1: everybody. Welcome back to Lowe's Pickups Podcast. Come to y'all from the Pacific Northwest. Bringing you your weekly dose of degenerisms, tisms, bisms, tiggle bitties, everything between these. But thank you all for tuning in. As you can see, our setup is a little bit different this time. We've finally come to you guys with our beautiful shining faces on camera. so thank you guys for everybody who's been tuning in since the beginning. This has been a really cool journey and excited to see everything kind of take off as it continues to kind of evolve and yeah, we just keep keeping to having fun with it. man, I don't know what I'm trying to say there, so I apologize. I'm on camera and I'm a little nervous. But my boy to the left right here, introduce yourself. speaker-2: Bobby Fresh. speaker-1: My man's over here, the mad scientist. speaker-0: And they can actually see who's on the left and who's on the right. That's true. A Z. speaker-1: And of course I am a nestle. Thank you guys again for tuning in. It's a really exciting time in the world of sports and all of our favorite sports teams, the main events that are coming going on right now. We're in just the beginning of July and the World Cup is going crazy right now. that's the main thing we want to kinda talk about. but speaker-0: It was going crazy. Not so much anymore. Kind of unpredictable. S some of the typical World Cup. No surprises really anymore. Maybe Norway's a surprise, I guess. but yeah. speaker-1: Some of us are a little heartbroken. That's right. Great player dude. Anyway, so Maroc was Maroc was a good team. Yeah, they got they got this far last time. Well we'll get there. Yeah. speaker-2: Last time around they w they went to this this speaker-0: So I think they should allow teams that like have never gone there before. speaker-1: That's or how about teams that never gone there before just should actually play better, I guess. Or not pay off the refs. Anyways, but again, we'll get there. We're gonna be there in just a second. We got lots of to lots to debate, lots to discuss. World Cup is a big one. The next one we want l lots of crazy things going on in the NBA with free agency, big name trades, like if you guys think you know where your favorite player is playing right now, then you probably are wrong because a lot of shit has happened in last like what, two weeks? Right? Okay. speaker-0: Okay, we got the World Cup thing. Yeah. We jump straight into the episode. I think Okay. What did I say? Hold up, hold up, pause. I know where you're going. We need to let's let's let's explain the set a little bit. Okay. What are the flags behind us? speaker-1: Why can't we like that? What what the speaker-2: Right when you said speaker-1: Please I'm really speaker-2: It's our favorite team. It's our favorite team. It's our favorite speaker-1: Well actually you know what? That's a great segue. Let lead us off. G give us a little this this is this is your baby. speaker-0: So we were trying to think of a set. What would the set entail? What do we have as a resource? What do we have available to speaker-1: And not casting cows, even though I might give a little bit of that vibe. speaker-0: but you know so it took a lot of it took a lot of tinkering, it took a lot of like fucking around with Well I got this sofa and honestly it was gonna be like three of these chairs. It probably would have looked a little bit like I hope she doesn't. I hope your dad doesn't listen to you. speaker-1: That's a love stain, by the way. speaker-2: listens to the speaker-1: He was talking about his chair with his love state. speaker-0: Yeah, yeah, yeah. But it's easy to wipe off 'cause it's leather. Which is nice. but I was gonna get three of these, but then what was it? Why'd we get tanked that day? Why'd I get tanked that day? Was it speaker-1: We were upset about something. I forgot what So like speaker-0: I think it's speaker-1: we killed that bottle to killer. speaker-0: There's a reason. Celebrating the World Cup I guess. I see. Yeah. speaker-1: no dude. we got emotional. So it was Father's Day and for those of you guys who don't know or do know I do have dead daddy issues. So in solidarity my boys had a few drinks with me in the moment. speaker-0: Yeah. Solidarity Solidarity. Solidarity. speaker-1: Wh while my man Bobby Fresh over here was responsible, we were not as much. speaker-0: for the most part. And with that much tequila usually I have to go do some. So we did. So we went to speaker-1: What's speaker-0: Or and then we found this couch. This beautiful couch. And we fucking schmucked that schmuck. And all the other couches were like 120 something there was like 80 bucks, 100 something bucks for like shitty couches. This didn't have a tag on it, and I was like, yo, what's the story? He's like, mm, I balled it, 35. Take that. Easy. All day. Easy. Alright, that takes care of that takes care of the two boys. I got my couch. Yep. Now what else do we got going on, you know? So I'm not gonna go into the full detail. This is a this isn't gonna be an undisclosed area, but I had to put up some curtains back. back here so y'all didn't know what was going on. the other d the behind the boys though, I thought how could we fill the wall space? 'cause it was just sheetrock. Yeah. And so we went ahead and we bought flags representing all the teams that we like. And that's told what are the flags you ended up getting speaker-1: of course first and foremost the Chicago Bulls because you know basketball above all for me personally, but then a very close second. I would call it one A to my one B the Chicago Cubs right here. shout out Pops. I got my Bears flag over here. Bear down baby is Chicago, yeah. And that does me. speaker-0: Yeah, and that was mm yeah, I guess that we were just looking for ways to fill the space back there, right? without having to paint the garage and shit. And I think it came out pretty good. speaker-1: And it works out pretty well. I mean, like we we touched on our favorite sports teams like from like our early episodes or whatever, but this thing ain't that way we don't have to like d dive into it for like for first time listeners. They can just can clearly see. speaker-0: And we did, but we just rambled too much. We talked a lot. and so that's it and that's what seems Riley. Who do we got for you up there? speaker-1: That's why you guys are tuning in. speaker-2: We got the Vegas Raiders right here and my boys Tottenham Hotspus Tottenham. both teams mean a lot to me. Fully support There are more teams. I mean I'm rocking LA Dodgers right now. speaker-1: Top the speaker-0: Yeah, Los Tyers. we're gonna Any final remarks? No. speaker-1: There's more to come. And then V buddy. speaker-0: We have from Club America representing La Liga Mekis. We have Las Aguilas flag the top left in the yellow. That flag I've had since like before college, before I left Wenatchee. So that was really cool to be able to still have it. My sister held on to it, so it's just been kinda tucked away in the garage 'cause flags in the living room is not really like a good decor. and then the bottom left, kind of behind Ernesto's head if you see. That's where I have the San Francisco San San Francisco Forty Niners flag there. I got a Jerry Rice button on there. An old school Jerry Rice button. I think of the times. Huge Forty Niners fans probably my number one team. And then when it comes to if it comes to watching football we're talking about it, I guess, you know, I might have my team there too. and then Amazon fucked it up, but I'm supposed to have a Mariners flag up there too, to represent MLB, my newfound reinvigorated love for the Mariners. Read over the past couple years. kinda lost passion in it. Watched it more as a little kid. Kind of the Niners lost in twenty twelve, so nothing else mattered. And then but I've been watching the pat more the past couple years. Baseball's just a hard sport to kinda keep up with for a newcomer. speaker-1: Vigorate. speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-1: Not anymore because we're in it now. speaker-0: Yeah yeah yeah and I'm dedicating a whole podcast and time out of my day to talk about sports so I gotta get along with it and I understand that. But that's that's besides the point. and so yeah this is this is the set for the time being. This is what we have to work with. Honestly, the whole thing was put together, mics and everything included, probably like five hundred bucks. we really kind of pulled ourselves up by our bootstraps, so very proud about the end product, and I think it looks decent, odd things considering what you don't see over here is that we have a TV too. So stay tuned because we have some live reactions maybe for the football season. Postseason coming up. if this video gets a million likes, we'll go ahead and start doing that. Fully transition to the World Cup though. I did want to give light to maybe our first listener that's not a friend, not a direct friend of ours. Could we shine some light on that email and not make them wait another week for that? I.e. any other emails we might have gotten. I think we like an AI one. speaker-1: Absolutely. Yeah. Call out for sure, for sure. we we we might have. But that being said, yeah, he it i I don't know how else to say it. Like for the when we first got the email, it we all just kinda checked each other, it's like, Hey, did you guys like just created some fake ass like alter ego? speaker-0: I'm gonna grab another VR back. speaker-2: We thought we all messed with the And it created division for a little bit and then we we f realized that it could be speaker-1: Is it w is like wait a minute, is this actually we might actually have a fan? Or well obviously we do have fans. I mean that's we have so many fans. speaker-2: We got all. speaker-1: All the fucking fans. No, but the crazy thing is like we said, if if I'm trying to find the email real fast, but what trips us out a little bit is that this particular email that we received is from somebody that is are saying that they're from like s San Diego. looks like quick shout out to Aiden Castaño. Yeah, so just to kinda go over the the email real fast, the email goes hi guys, long time listener from San Diego. Diego reaching out for the first time. You guys are funny as hell. Really appreciate you guys. You helped me impress my boyfriend with all the sports ball knowledge. Sports ball, I'm gonna just sidestep that. So gotta say now, viva Mexico Cabrones in all caps and exclamation points. How do you guys feel about Mexico winning all three matches in the group stage? Okay, she does know some ball, cool. They we don't know. speaker-0: They she's speaker-1: What okay. So then I hope I feel like wait, hold on. I hope you feel like I do, which is proud what the fuck? I can't read. How do you guys feel about Mexico winning all three matches in the group stage? I hope you feel like I do, which is proud as fuck. not a messy fan by the way, so had to toss that in there. But Riley, since you're the football guy, who's impressed you the most outside of Argentina? And then real quick, thoughts on Holland with all those Viking Viking AI memes and shit that be b going around. Hey, good shit. Well they're up they're up they're up on the World Cup just like us, so that's pretty cool. Yeah. shout out Aiden. Thank you so much for emailing us. Please keep them coming. speaker-0: We're super shocked. we'd like we got another email that might have been AI. And so I am very curious. I wanna see if maybe you're AI, Aiden. So if you're not AI, let's see how can we prove that? speaker-1: damn, how do we how do we prove that? speaker-0: It's gotta be something super niche, you know. Aiden, how'd you find us? How'd you come across us? Like Valid, yeah. You know, like how'd you come across us? What was it that made you maybe start listening to us? speaker-2: I feel like they've already proven speaker-1: That's what it does. What what were you saying the other day? It was when you look at the actual listeners Yeah, there's like people in China and shit like that. speaker-0: the analytics. Yeah, I think that's like I was saying, I think that's VPNs. Okay. I think when somebody puts a VP but then again, China's really strict about their internet, so I don't know. Like why would somebody put a VPN in China if they can't watch porn in China? I don't think China's porn's legal in China. speaker-1: Do wa wait what? That's sad. Sorry, that's a s my bad. Sorry guys. That hurt that broke. speaker-2: How'd you guys know? speaker-0: 'cause China's super strict. speaker-2: okay. speaker-1: Damn, that's crazy. speaker-0: But speaker-1: We're getting sidetracked. So A Aiden, please let us know how it is you came across us. we appreciate the support. please keep shooting us emails with any other thoughts, especially with the World Cup underway and kinda coming down to its final couple weeks. So yeah, we'd love to hear from ya. speaker-0: Direct question. speaker-1: And yeah, direct question to Mimi, so Mimi, real quick. speaker-0: also, we have to be very careful with this platform. I don't know how to edit it if we do if we say stupid stuff. Okay. So don't say something stupid otherwise it's gonna stay. speaker-1: So half the shit that we say is stupid. speaker-0: No, usually it's one thing I have to bleep and cut out. I don't know how to do that with this. Fair enough. So don't make me do it. Don't want to delay the episodes. speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-1: Trial and error, Biddy. speaker-0: We just accept for what we truly are. speaker-1: Yeah, so real quick, so Bob Bobby Fresh. speaker-2: I yeah. You got it? I got it. Yeah. The thank you, Aiden. I've the most impressive team out of this World Cup has to be Cape Verde. Like they've they've proven to be a part of that international stage and I've actually really enjoyed I was really sad that Argentina had to face him, but Nonetheless, like that was an amazing performance by Cape Verde, and I think they've they've shown that they can still be there, be included with everyone else. what I think who who definitely shouldn't have been there was the US. Like they they've yeah. I'm taking a whole left field here. the US played like shit. Yeah. speaker-1: Well good. speaker-0: Over Canada? speaker-1: two. speaker-2: Canada played stout defense for the speaker-1: Like don't let the three score fool ya. Like those lines. speaker-0: Are you judging this based off of the USA's last game? speaker-1: Yeah. speaker-2: But I they they played an actual team, I feel like. speaker-0: Can it actually play? speaker-1: Yeah. speaker-0: Well I was gonna say, dude, if Cape Verde hadn't run into Argentina where would they be actually be? They probably would have knocked out some teams. You know? That would have been insane. They play with a lot of speaker-1: honestly I agree. Yeah. Three clean three clean sheets in the in the speaker-2: Both their goals were friggin amazing. Like they were solid. speaker-1: one was dw one was Duarte, I forgot who the other who scored the other one. speaker-2: it was their outside back or winger, who cut it back, hit it in. I don't I forget his name, but he he was playing well all game. He was he was their go to guy that whole side. speaker-0: Real impressive. speaker-2: Yeah, no, he did. so on that left side where he they just kept pushing and pushing, he was the main reason why that they were so effective on that side and and did so well. For sure. So speaker-1: No. no, you know, tip of the cat to couple of everything for sure. they they prove that they belong and and I'm excited to see them again in four years. They definitely will be back in my opinion. One thing that people don't speaker-2: I hope so. I hope. speaker-1: don't realize or are or maybe just now finding out. Because they did so well, like it it's it's turned like it's been such a positive thing for that country. that that group of ten islands with where like people are actually now booking vacations and destination shit. Like so so like what was it? In tw in twenty twenty two when Morocco hosted after the World Cup they generated like one billion dollars in just like tourism attraction. Yeah. Cabo speaker-2: I think including more countries within the World Cup, I think they did I think FIFA did the I feel like a good thing here where they've added more teams to it. They've added forty they've added more speaker-1: they won't they went before? was it twelve or f sixteen? Was wasn't it thirty two before? speaker-2: It was thirty two before, now it was forty it was it was forty six. Or no no no, it was forty two. speaker-1: Of one six. E either way they expanded. Which gave more more app more opportunity to these countries, yeah. speaker-2: Yeah, so I feel like that definitely was helpful for a lot of other international teams and countries. speaker-0: What was Aiden's other question to Riley? speaker-1: the the how we f how we feel about Holland and all the the AI meetings with the Vikings and stuff. so for for for those of you listening, Erling Holland who p who plays for Manchester City in the EPL and then also speaker-0: yeah. speaker-2: He also was born in the UK one speaker-1: He yeah, he is British. and then he chose to play for hi his I think it's his mother's dad's or his his dad's home country which is Norway. Norway ha made it to the World Cup for the first time since like nineteen ninety four or some shit like that. speaker-2: Or Yeah, it's it's been a while. It's it's really cool to see that Nor Norway's back in it. For sure. Because they they're they've they've always had a great team leading up, like for these past I wanna say four years they've been building this international team or even five five plus years. I think this the World Cup before in twenty twenty two they just didn't make it and they were doing really well. For sure. So now they're now they're doing well. speaker-1: Another ball. yeah, like I said for those of you who who don't know Holland's he's a specimen of a man the Viking Row. he he's gotten comparisons to like for all you anime nerds, the comparisons to the the armored titan from Attack on Titan or to Super Boo from Vagon Ball Z, which I think is more accurate to be honest. once you once you see it you can't unsee it. speaker-2: He's crazy. Well he he even made a comment about that too, where he said a greed or something. speaker-1: yeah, he's like, well well he's like I don't disagree. Terminator Terminator for for our telemundo for our telemundo broadcasters. speaker-0: Terminator. speaker-2: No he's speaker-0: Was the la was that the last point for Aiden? speaker-1: And then and then did they did ask how we're feeling about Mexico, cleaning the cleaning up in the group stage. We we defin speaker-0: sure. We'll hit that in just a second. I wanted to give a quick thanks to Aiden. Yeah. Me personally, 'cause I really appreciate if you're not AI that that that you listened to us and that you took the time to email us. I'm taking it as a sign that you don't want to listen to any of the other segments that that we started rolling out, because we didn't have emails. And so and so thank you. Thank you for your time. Riley, do you want to say a quick thanks? 'Cause I I have speaker-2: Yeah. I really I really appreciate it, Aiden. Thank you so much for reaching out. And God I hope I hope it's a real email. Actually it does seem more of a legitimate email than another email that we received. speaker-1: It's It was very specific. Yeah. I mean, yeah, I guess AI can do the same thing, but like based on the actual like punctuation and stuff, yeah. I felt like that was a real person. So speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-0: So with that being said, I wanted to give a quick shout out to how the Americas have been hosting so far. It's I think it's been it's blown everybody expectation. Yeah. of what people were expecting that Canada, USA, especially Megan. speaker-1: Especially me. speaker-0: Would do hosting the World Cup and all these teams and all these foreigners and tourists and whatnot. Mehiko has been put on the spot, I think. People have I mean Mehiko's always been a great like culture that people could get along with, but I think that's being highlighted even more so now. Absolutely. Which is really cool to see. and I'm not hearing many complaints about Canada but I don't think they had many games. And then you know, seeing the teams I haven't really heard that many bad things about games in the USA either. You know? I've heard that foreigners have actually had a great time. in the USA. They were expecting the USA to be scary and whatnot. Right. and then they were just very welcomed and and and everybody was super friendly. speaker-1: Yeah. No for sure. It's been a really pleasant surprise. Well, not really a surprise. It's just been really nice to see people finally acknowledging overall like you know what considering like the political climate, you know, between the US and Mexico, like for as long as we can remember. and just seeing the overall like camaraderie and the overall bonds that people are making with, you know, the Mexican people. dude, Japan got mad love, South Korea got mad love, everybody got mad love. after the England game it was all nothing but respect it was like I I think a lot of a lot a lot of people need relax. A lot of people you know walked away feeling pretty pretty good about their experience, you know, with with with Mexico. speaker-2: Yeah. I I mean I think for the most part there was a there was a video that was kinda leaked out there that was pretty threatening and there were Mexican fans like saying going like this to one of the English fans. speaker-0: Is that as bad as Argentinian fans making monkey noises to a stream? speaker-2: No, I'm I'm just saying like for the most part I I saw a lot of good things. There's just like very little subtle things that I didn't that I did see as well. But you guys can give me shit later on. speaker-1: But if if you wan if you wanna get to the slug fest now you can. speaker-0: No, no, no, no, no. But if we're gonna s speaker-2: But what I wanna say before we get a little heinous is that a little like that there's that all in all, football is love and that's what it should be. And you're gonna get the little bit of fans everywhere you go. Sure that are speaker-0: There's mild hate. speaker-1: We gotta buy speaker-0: That's the heinous body. Yeah. speaker-2: Despicable. speaker-1: I I I I I will I I I will second that because like yeah you've got you've got some people who k who who fucking kill it, right? Yeah. You gotta be being assholes about it. from diff from various different nations. But but like I think the the main message that we wanna, you know, take away from this or or share is that like the positivity, the harmony and all the love that's being spread. I think that is what's like been dominating and I think that's fucking awesome. Yeah. And yeah, no, like to shout out to the host. you know, Canada, the the US and Mexico. definitely, you know, sh showing our worth and making this a definitely a memorable World Cup, that's for sure. better than guitar. speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-0: I don't look up something. speaker-1: I think it lacked soul. My only funny you say that because my only qualm with this particular World Cup is the actual World Cup design. Yeah That's fucking lame. Like it's very like minimalist, simple. speaker-0: That's it. throwing a t shirt honestly. I've been seeing the t shirts, they look kinda stupid. speaker-1: like and you go back to guitars, like that's actually pretty. It's dope. Like the like the spiral you need to relax. But but like you know I but I get what you're saying. speaker-2: But there is no alcohol allowed or no no drinking in general horrible. It was horrible. That is a war. Why were you thinking? Drinking brings everyone together. Most times. speaker-0: That's a war crime in itself. Well that wouldn't maybe hit record. Maybe it's just I I'm sorry, I'm working on it. I'm speaker-1: It's really okay. It's what makes this show so appealing. It's for everybody. And we let it out. But last thing I do want to say real fast, we we'll shout out to Iran. given their circumstances having to fucking travel on game day and shit. speaker-0: So speaker-2: That's why we said speaker-0: Yeah, that was fucked up. speaker-1: You know, that's one of the another major highlight that I wanna want to, you know, bring emphasize, you know, the the relationship between Iran and Mexico and basically accommodating as best we could, you know, to make the experiences, you know, not so shitty for them, even though it was clearly you know, wearing on them. So kudos to them for, you know, taking it on the channel and you know, handling it with grace in my opinion and we'll see hopefully next time around th this this won't be the case. next time around as well. But yeah, that that's that those are my final thoughts on that. speaker-0: Yeah, didn't have any much more to add. just wanted to say twenty-five minutes in. I think we've done a great job so far. Let's get cracking on the World Cup. speaker-1: We've kept our composure and here we go. So shit. So let's just get into the nine actually before we get into our shit, let you already kinda mentioned it a little bit with the US. Let's get those motherfuckers out the way. so I I speaker-0: And here we go losing it. Hey hey, speak for yourself. speaker-2: Hey man, I sub I support the international I support the US international team, but the way they've been about it speaker-1: I'm just saying you guys speaker-0: No. speaker-2: You can go. Go ahead. Go ahead. Say what you say. speaker-1: Cool. First of all, I just okay. I I I'm keeping what you said in mind where you don't have to fucking edit shit. Okay. speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-0: Celebratory Baple. speaker-1: Celebratory Babel for the US, not right now. Not right now. speaker-2: Hehehehehe speaker-0: There I fine, get it over with. speaker-1: The USA fucking prove that they are leaps and bounds behind the rest of the world by this last frother. Like the the the third goal conceded by Ream, by the way, is the telt all sign of how f speaker-0: Leaps and bounds? speaker-2: See the speaker-0: by Reem and not the dickhead goalie? speaker-1: That is the goalie. speaker-2: No, it's not. Free Sis the goalie. Ream is a defender. But even no no I mean you're not wrong either way. No, you gave up two basically. Yeah. Yeah. speaker-0: Do you even know who you're speaker-1: He gave up one two. speaker-0: Okay, but speaker-1: Who was just named an all-star for MLS by the way, so speaker-2: But that tells you a lot about MLS. I don't support the MLS. I'm sorry. I can't. It's hard to work. speaker-1: That's where fucking career's gonna die, even though shout out shout out Lewandeschi to come in the over the Chicago Fire. speaker-0: That's where Kremir's gonna die. gonna die. speaker-1: We'll get there in a s okay, all bullshit aside, not n no it's not. I'm a I'm a beating asshole. So here we go. So brother final score of the between the US and the Belgian and the Belgian game was four to one, right? Okay. And you what what who who was the guy? Wood? The guy who scored for the US. Malik Tillman. Malik Tillman. Shout out Malik Tillman. The one dude who fucking showed up for the US, okay did his job. speaker-2: So the f The guy for it was Malik T. speaker-0: Yeah. speaker-2: Not only that, he he worked his ass off the entire pit. speaker-1: Entire fucking game. my point is, yes, the leaps and bounds behind the rest of the world. They put on a great display in the group stage against Paraguay, sure. established dominance against Australia, okay. lost to Turkey in the final minute on on well, mind you, I'll give you this. It was some bullshit. It was some bullshit. speaker-0: Yeah, but why are you discrediting it now if they lost to him? When but when we speaker-1: They did, they beat the US. No, I said bull on some bullshit where like they th it really it should've ended in a draw. Okay. That's what I'm trying to get at. Relax. Relax Captain America. wait that's Christian Polisic who also had a shake. speaker-0: He's not Captain America bro. Bro k fucking sprint his ankle and side out. Give me the bro go shit. speaker-1: So that being said, it's just I feel like the the overall narrative around Team USA I think is what really bothers me. Is that if we had our best athletes, you know, play, we would have, you know, bed we would have been better. We would have been, you know, dominant or whatever. Let's be real, dude. The best teams in the world aren't the most athletic, they're the most technically sound. Skill beats athleticism. You know, nine times out of ten. You know what I'm saying? Mm-hmm. And and it's like that that arrogant mentality is is what's really gotten them to where they are right now. speaker-0: But that's American. That's American, bro. speaker-1: and that that doesn't make it a good thing. speaker-0: Does it make it a good thing? I do think that the one thing that I kind of took away from the World Cup across the board is that the tournament beats people up. Players, bodies. I was seeing like people you know it's like it's another war of attraction. speaker-1: It it it's it's it's blended It's blended in because the amount of like flopping and stuff, we can all agree there's a shit ton of flopping. Yeah. But because of that, that what you just said happens. It's like you can't decipher in the moment, wait, was that real or did that guy actually just get fucking clocked? And then you look at it afterwards like, that guy actually has a point. He did get fucking punched in the throat. Gotta deal. You know I'm saying? speaker-0: Yeah. speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-0: Yeah. speaker-1: Yeah, for sure. Exactly, that's what it is. And like overall it it just kinda makes us, you know, really blur the line as far as like how serious or how much popularity this sport overall is getting. I think the other side with the US USA game here in the knockout stage is that or that really left a poor taste in my mouth is that they essentially cheated. Like Ba Baloyan este he was suspended with the red card from the previous game. Something that never is has never been done. Like, you know, the president of the US comes in, asks for the suspension to be left lifted or or to be reviewed, and does and it proves and it proves to be nothing. They tried to cheat and they still fucking got their asses kicked, kinda deal. speaker-0: Wasn't Cristiano Ronaldo like red carded the World Cup before the they delayed his fucking suspension? speaker-1: Can y can you ha you have that actually like on record? speaker-0: yeah, probably. I'm gonna pull up my phone. You can continue with your thoughts. speaker-1: But but was it a was it a situation where a a a national lead speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-0: No, but I think it was telephone being used to record That is technically a boundary that should not have been crossed. But was this also a situation that was gonna have the same treatment where it was gonna get delayed anyways, but it's a headline now because Trump asked for it. And yes, that's bad. World leaders should not be asking for favors like that, right? But that seems like a FIFA issue. speaker-1: And and either way, does it make it any less of a like you're now you're talking about like well this is worse than any other kind of thing. It's it's sh it's shitty. speaker-0: It's bad because he ended up asking, but what if they were gonna do the same shit anyways like they did with Ronaldo where he had a red car and they delayed it until after the tournament? speaker-1: But the overall magnitude of the whole situation doesn't apply. It's not the same. You you can't say you can't put them in the same vein. speaker-0: It's kinda the same shit. speaker-1: You're you're you're you're talking about like i it was it was an appeal from from the club to FIFA. It wasn't like hey we're gonna let them unless you can actually give me a specific scenario. Like I I don't a what? A controversy. Unless you can give me the actual fact or like what actually went down in that particular World Cup or that instance, then I'll give it to you. But at in this in this point in time I I have to respectfully actually I have to disrespectfully disagree. Because your fucking blind ass patriotism annoys the fuck out of me. speaker-0: The controversy It's not I'm not being blindly patriotic. I'm saying that maybe this shit was blown out of proportion just because Trump Trump asked for a fucking That motherfucker's always saying shit, bro. Like speaker-1: All I'm saying is anything that fucking Trump touches dies. So New York Knicks fan three he sh he shows up to the garden, they fucking lose. speaker-0: Keep that same shit to FIFA. Why the fuck are we supporting the World Cup? speaker-1: we're still gonna fucking come at FIFA. Okay. Like it's not gonna go And it's thank you. And now it speaker-0: Yeah. Until now I hadn't heard it anything. And then you're in Iran go fucking across the border. See, I know fucking I'm not speaker-1: Here's yeah, you kinda are. So here's the point. Like what I'm saying is like if if you like you just said, if it's an it's a vi FIFA issue, absolutely, through and through. Like bro, you wanna play this card like we're not gonna, you know, play political sides or anything politically politically charged or involved, it's not gonna be, you know, directly in impacting FIFA as a whole. Brother, you're fucking buddy buddy with Israel, dude. Like it like you're no everyone knows it's not a fucking secret. You and then you got like guys, I'm sorry, you you came back a really poor time. Huh? FIFA and Yeah, fucking what was the FIF FIFA's president? Yes, yes. That's those are speaker-0: Trump, not FIFA. And Trump. FIFA's buddy barues, Who? Israel? No. They're just fucking ex Americans. speaker-2: No. speaker-0: Fucking lower than MLS. speaker-1: No, they're just a bunch of X speaker-2: War cripples. speaker-0: Yeah, no, I get what you're saying. Yeah, the US I wish their approach was different. You can't be saying it's called soccer and then fuck up like that. I'll give you that. speaker-1: Thank you. I I agree no, that's that I know that that actually made that makes me very giddy. 'Cause like the other the other day this fuck is trying to like pop off of me just because it's called football, not sucker. But it speaker-0: if I can call French cursive Spanish French is cursive Spanish. speaker-1: What? Hold on, hold on, let's let's not we gotta unpack this for a second. I I actually haven't thought of it like that before. I've never heard it like that before. What w say it again? speaker-0: Jonas fo, mas he jonas a ammo, jonas in jossing, justin's are fucking speaker-1: I mean you can say that about you can say that about like Portuguese or Italiano también. speaker-0: No, Italiano has more like fucking syllables in it. It's like you take Italian and you take the Latin like love language and you put it in writing and then you grab your hand and you fucking smear it across the sheet, the the paper. That's how French is. Okay. It's just smeared Latin. speaker-1: Let the boy. speaker-0: See, I have a boy educated stupidism. speaker-1: Mm. Well was it cut an an an educ no, an educated guess? speaker-0: I wasn't a guess, homeboy. I'm just throwing a dart and throwing a dart or shot. Yeah. So yeah, you would say fuck the bed, they shit the bed. They fucked and shit the bed. speaker-1: Wish. Dark the dark. Something like that. Something like that. They fuck against you the better simultaneously. speaker-0: like licked up like that. Pulisic can't be fucking I gave him shit for fucking pulling his hamstring, you guys were giving me shit. You ever had your hamstring pulled? No. Then he fucking sprained his ankle and then the dude can't even fucking play. If you weren't even fit to play, why'd you even join the fucking tournament? You wasted somebody else's roster space. speaker-1: The irony with Polisic is that he actually sat out the Conquer Calf tournament to rest up for the World Cup and here we are. speaker-0: That's not my Captain America. speaker-1: I mean he he's not anybody's kept McCurry anymore. He speaker-2: I think a lot of US fans are are really put off are really put off, but also really angry with him in general just because like the way he like even Carly Lloyd made a comment saying that you fucking You stay out there until you can't speaker-1: And speaker-0: Get rabbit on there. Yeah. speaker-2: freaking walk anymore. You put everything you could walk. You put I mean I'm just saying he could've he he was jogging around like speaker-1: Does it speaker-0: Okay, what the fuck is this though? I was saying I was giving him shit for like missing w with the hamstring and now you guys are giving him shit for fucking the same shit, but I was wrong when I was saying my shit. speaker-1: So like the context of the situation is very different. Like you're talking about a what, a friendly? a game that doesn't matter. The the stakes are way higher now. Like you're in the world. Yeah. W he pulled his hand and string in the in the group stage? Yeah. speaker-0: He wasn't playing because he had a fucked up hamstring. speaker-2: Yeah, he didn't play against Turkey. speaker-1: He came back against Sukiye. speaker-0: For like speaker-1: The last twenty speaker-2: sorry, it wasn't third game, it was the game before that. speaker-0: He didn't start. against Who the fuck cares? You say shit speaker-2: Yeah, so speaker-1: Hold hold on a second. No no no 'cause I no I I 'cause I I know I say a lot of things but I know I know when I stick up for certain things I I'm in the speaker-0: I mean against the game against Australia. speaker-2: I it's what it was. It was Australian. speaker-1: If he's if he's nursing an injury coming into the tournament, that's one thing. If he gets hurt playing and he can still kinda play, that's another. Especially if you're in an elimination game. speaker-2: It was in Australia though. That's who it was. But you're right, it should have been like you're in the elimination game. speaker-0: Player, not if you're named Captain America. If you are Captain America, does the fucking comic books not mean anything to do? speaker-1: Am I fucking talking to myself? He's not listening to me? He's not listening to In the group stage, when you're already locked in, you already won your fucking you're already won your fucking group. Okay, yeah. You're nursing the a pre-existing injury that obviously is impeding you so so much so that you can't fucking run. He finally got to go ahead to play. He came back, tweaks his ankle in the game against Belgium. speaker-0: Cool. I'm saying that's not speaker-1: That's where that I have to like, you know what, bro, I can't give you no more slack. Because you can still trot around. You're trying at least, dude. I'm not saying break your fucking ankle, but you ha this is it. Like your team needs you. You are the face of the national team. That's what I'm saying. speaker-0: Side line. speaker-1: Th like the stakes are the stakes are significantly higher. You're talking about the group stage where they've already won it without him. speaker-0: Feebon used to add the blue tents, the blue pop-up tents on the sidelines. Yeah, dude. speaker-1: That's not a that's not a bad idea. It's actually not a bad it's some fucking salts. speaker-2: No, but like w why wasn't it taken care of? I didn't see anyone attend to his freaking ankle. Yeah. That's that's my that's my issue too. That's the main point. Like he should have been on the sideline taking care of it. Then say, Hey, I'm ready to go. And the US should have played more defensively. Their defense was ass. speaker-0: He fucking gave up, that's what it should be. speaker-1: And that's what that's the main point. speaker-0: Defensively against Belgium that put four on their ass. speaker-2: They didn't play well defensively, that's what I'm trying to say. speaker-1: Two two two of them was actually on them. Yeah. speaker-0: USA. speaker-2: A lot of all three. I feel like all three were speaker-1: Two two two two of them for sure were self-inflicted. Like they they fucked up. Th the overall the the number of mental errors they had during that game was appalling. speaker-2: Okay. I I feel personally that all three the first three goals were d defensive errors overall. speaker-1: The one with the one with freeze, for sure, like speaker-2: you coming out of the box and just not clear? Just fucking hit it. speaker-1: Who's the kicker who fucking did it for for the Giants? He busted a fucking coup where he kicked the fucking ground. That's lit dude, that's lit that's literally what he fucking did. speaker-2: A cool screw There was a video online s it was literally fat freeze kicking the ground and then another clip showed young Wakou kicking the ground. It was hilarious. It was hilarious. speaker-1: Vat v. speaker-0: Any final thoughts? 'Cause at this point we've got better shit to talk about than fucking They're not my number one, they're not your number one. Let's fucking speaker-2: I don't know. I wish Shiver was my number one, but honestly they haven't proven anything. Well speaker-0: You're gonna have plenty of shit to say about your number one. We got plenty of shit to say about our number one. And we still gotta get into the predictions for Are we able to put this to bed? USA shit to bed. Fuck I guess see you next time. And I guess get some more time. 'Cause I don't know what the fuck you can do at that point. speaker-2: That's very fun. speaker-1: You got four years to get better, dude. speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-1: I don't know. speaker-2: A lot of their youth players show that they cannot they're not ready. speaker-1: Or or they pass them up and they play for their their parents' home country. Yeah. speaker-0: So I think we should give does everybody feel good about that convo though? So? Alright, cool. Because I think at that point we were just being a dead horse. A dead American horse. Yeah. should we give Riley? speaker-1: Okay. speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-1: Tell us how great Argentina is and how they're doing. speaker-2: I mean they struggled against both Cape Cape Cabo Verde and Egypt. I I got the win. I mean yeah, they struggled through it. Mm-hmm. They struggled through both games. speaker-0: No right. You know what I will say? It's really annoying Yeah, it actually sorry. But apologize. speaker-1: This is the same. speaker-0: Yeah, I am a speaker-2: Okay. We're sorry. yeah. Okay. Egypt shit the bed and did not play well defensively. Like also, why the fuck? I know you're fucking thinking everything. Okay, I will. Fuck why are you not attacking more? You showed you showed the defense for Argentina sucks. They're not that great. speaker-1: Just fucking say your peace, motherfucker. speaker-2: Why are you not pushing her? Why are you holding back? No, why not? speaker-0: Okay, you're taking this from the wrong angle. You're good you're you're s saying Egypt should have capitalized, which everybody knows, but you should be saying what Argentina's doing good, what they've done so good in the tournament. speaker-2: What's the speaker-1: Really? speaker-0: No no no no stop. You're going straight to Egypt. You don't want to talk about speaker-2: I'm doing The tactics from Sculoni is working, other than the defensive side of things. Our attacking and the way we attack is full force, head on. One touch, two touch. Great ball play. Great ball movement. And speaker-0: I've contained an aggression. Yeah. Keep it going. Keep it going. Well speaker-2: Just overall messy. Like eight goals. No PKs. speaker-1: Yeah, 'cause you can't fucking knock in. speaker-0: Keep it going. speaker-2: Yeah, he would have ten. Yeah, exactly. I mean I I just speaker-1: Get your fucking licks in now, motherfucker. speaker-2: I just don't understand the controversy of the whole fucking thing when it happens everywhere else but because Argentino wins they get a controversy which doesn't make any fucking goddamn sense to me. But Argentina's Argentina's playing with a lot of heart. With a lot of heart. Don't say anything about the fan base, don't say anything about what they're doing. The whole team in general is playing with heart. speaker-1: What's wait what? about the gameplay right now. speaker-0: Yeah. speaker-2: And played through it, played as a team to make a difference for themselves and not be embarrassed by Cape Farde and losing to them. speaker-1: Yeah, we're not a bit embarrassing. speaker-2: A lot of other fan bases would have thought so. And a lot of other fan bases would have said something. speaker-0: That's fair. I think the way that we talked about the US, we went kinda game by game and how they fucked up and whatnot. And and so I I would you're doing a better job at the second half, but I didn't want you to get caught up on the whole you just say how e you know Ali Cantina was doing so good in the World Cup. and how you felt, you know. You know, you got to watch two games with your family, which is cool. speaker-2: I know, I know, I know, I know. Yeah. No, I got to celebrate I got to celebrate this last world c this last match with my dad, which is very, very nice. just both passionate about Argentina and the way we go about it and just yelling and screaming Colossal gold, like just fucking looking at each other, giving each other high fives, just it it felt great in the moment, so I really enjoyed it. speaker-0: Did you help each other change each other's diapers 'cause you were shitting yourselves for the first almost eight minutes of the game? speaker-2: Yeah, yeah. against Egypt, yes. Kate Verley, he wasn't there to watch it with us, but I I I had my sisters with me and they were they were freaking out. I was I was calm for the most part. I was calm for the most part. speaker-0: Yeah, it's because you got the alpha. You got the alpha aura, bro. speaker-1: That's all. speaker-2: I was more confident in the Kid Rated game. speaker-0: More confident? Mm-hmm. speaker-1: Well, to to be fair, Kabul Vernon was was playing characters the whole game. Yeah. especially in extra speaker-0: Cabo Verde was they came in with nothing to lose, which is why they were dangerous. Absolutely. I will say Argentina is playing like they have fucking God on their side. Like as long as they keep their faith in God. If if Messi wasn't there, you would not have the resolution and conviction on your team. They're playing because they know that they have an X factor on their side. They don't agree on S though. speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-1: The X factor to a degree, I mean if you're gonna like if if we're really if you're really if we're really gonna get get into this and have like a serious conversation, like I'm never going to refute the fact that Messi is talented. Yeah, the guy the guy can play. The guy's he's proven it time and time again. He's got he's oozing skill. I get that. The way things are have played out, and this and this is where we're getting outside of the actual gameplay itself, like the overall officiating has been like it a really head scratching. particularly and like like say what you will about the game against Cabo Bedarvin. This particular game against Egypt, like how are you gonna call back the second goal for Egypt? you know, with the VAR and shit, like and you've ha im if if the I'm not refuting like the f the play w that I'm talking about. It was a foul. It was a foul. That's not a that's not the question. So why the f why the fuck let it go all the way in to the score? Like you're we're talking like five minutes after the fact. Call it in the fucking moment. speaker-2: And I know what you're going with. It's it has to do with the whole build-up because they would have called that either way if it was a PK in the other if it was a PK in the box, they would have fucking brought that and they went on the attacking end, they would have called that back. speaker-1: So either and again, I I it's it's hard it's hard to s it's hard to swallow that because I feel like had it been reversed, it's not happening. It happened. It did not happen because it fucking literally happened in the in the at the end of the game where you speaker-2: And I g I understand where you're coming from. He got the ball. He got the fucking ball. speaker-1: Dude, no he got the fucking floor. speaker-2: And then he moved his leg back and he ran into his leg speaker-1: If that's the case, man, bro, like bro, like play call it both fucking ways. speaker-2: If any other if any other referee wants to listen to this and help me out and understand and who knows who knows the game and knows the laws of the game speaker-1: Fucking help bitch ass is caught on camera fucking winking at the fucking ref after said play. He literally fucking fucker At the ref? Yes! After he just got a call? Yes! The fucking Ronaldo does it! All the time! Dude, Ronaldo's out of the fucking tournament. You cannot use him in this particular instance. speaker-2: When every Every person wins I can use him whenever the fuck I want because you use Messi in every fucking situation you be speaker-1: He's a fucking bitch, that's why! No! He's not humble, he's not a nice, he's a bitch! speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-0: Ladies, you're both pretty. You're both pretty. Thank you. take charge here for a little bit. This is a great episode to get on camera. So yeah. a lot of controversy without Kentina's wins and I'm just waiting at this point. I'm waiting for somebody's dick to get caught on VAR or somebody's ass cheek to get caught on VAR to call to call it back. Maybe we should just chalk it up to football it's boring and sucks as a sport to watch. With that being said speaker-2: Ha ha. speaker-0: Riley any finishing thoughts on Argentina? before we go on to the Mexico Mexico adventure over here? speaker-1: Really happy your team's still in it, buddy. speaker-2: Todos argentinos speaker-0: I'm happy you're not sad. I I'm not happy like four out of ten people. I'm happy you're not sad. speaker-1: I know that and and that's a I want to make that abundantly clear. I'm happy for you, not your fucking country. That's what I'm gonna say, right? Okay. I'm done. Okay. speaker-0: Rarely any final thoughts. No. Other than vamos argentinos. So for Mexico. speaker-2: I love you guys. Sorry. speaker-1: Yeah. speaker-2: I guess I'm not sorry. speaker-1: No, you should be sorry. speaker-0: that was good. He was getting at you, you fired back. That's what I wanted to see. You got a liquor in you. speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-1: We got it. So we'll we'll we'll save the the free agency stuff for the in the NBA for the next episode. speaker-0: Yeah, that's n I guess that's not so time constraining. speaker-2: No, th that can be discussed at any point. That's right. More could happen. speaker-1: Yeah. speaker-0: So we'll talk about speaker-1: And and and and the and the ones that we do have for that specific topic, like you got some big names that moved. So yeah. Not to like get out completely off course, but we're talking like franchise altering names. Yeah, yeah, yeah. speaker-0: No, I I get that. So we'll talk about three and then we'll give our predictions. And maybe we'll close it out with the predictions. should I put the babbles away? speaker-1: Sounds good me. We're gonna we're gonna celebrate. Okay. Because this is it is a monumental o occasion for us. You know what I'm saying? speaker-0: It's the debut video episode. speaker-2: I can't I can't have beer. I'm I'm done completely with beer, but I could I could have a swig of tequila. Yeah. speaker-1: Perfect. speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-1: It's audio, whiskey. speaker-0: Seemed a little reluctant. I got no tequila, bro. I usually don't really drink tequila. Unless I'm with speaker-2: Okay. L speaker-1: With me. that's all right. But do you wanna taste take the lead on this one? speaker-2: three. speaker-0: Yeah, I guess I got a little bit more shallow review, a little bit more digestible review o of what happened. overall I'm very proud about how how the team performed. it brought a lot of this World Cup was lot of fun to watch. I don't know if it was because we were hosting, as in the Americas was hosting. I don't know if it was because we actually fucking made it past the first round for the first time in a long time. or that we won the games the way that we did. But it was a lot of fun to watch with with watched every game with Ernesto. Yeah. I actually didn't really think about that. speaker-1: Yeah, we get school games. yeah, all five games. Yeah, we watched all five games together. speaker-0: watch all games with Nestle which was really cool. to watch it with friends. The environment that we went to, the bar that we went to was really cool to watch those games. and the environment that was like leading up to it, it felt like it felt purposeful. It didn't feel empty like I have felt the other World Cups to feel. For sure. But also that could have just been because I've been jaded since the South Africa World Cup and I just had a really twenty ten. speaker-1: Twenty fourteen man. Fucking shit. What was twenty fourteen? that was Brazil, sorry. speaker-0: No, you're good. I just wanted to start it off with that general blanket statement that no, I'm I'm very happy about that. However, coming out of the group stage, I felt Very good about it. I think I liked how the I liked how everybody was playing. We were playing with like obviously like a game plan and we did a really good job at executing the game plan and we played each team differently. Umesto would probably be able to articulate it better. But if you watch the sa the football games, football games, Los Partidos, then you can tell Mexico was playing different games every every match. Depending on who they were playing. Right. and that was really cool to see. You know, coming into this, I think some of you guys were saying that South Korea would give us a run for our money, and you know, we played him and one zero two zero, right? Three clean sheets coming out of the group, winning the group for the first time in I don't know how long. That made me feel really good, and I was able to get to know the players a little bit more. and then we get to the first knockout stage, which was against speaker-1: Yeah, two zero. Sorry, it was one zero. I misspoke. We be we b did did beat South Korea one one goal. speaker-0: And the first people we played in the knockout was Who do who was the first round that we played? speaker-1: See what? Ecuador. Yeah. Which has some in the in their group stage, yeah. In the group stage. speaker-0: Right. Yeah, but people were a lot of people put Ecuador as a dark horse in the tournament, going in speaker-1: Considering c I mean considering how they they performed against Germany. but after after the matchup against us, I will say I think it was a combination of them playing a bit above their their class and then Germany not being what what it once was. speaker-0: True. I'm not gonna take it away from Ecuador. No. Because I'm gonna be at that point. No another clean sheet in e with Ecuador. speaker-1: Yep, two zero and two zero on that one. so we we we what was it? We beat She Shia Shea would beat them three speaker-0: Which is another team I heard was g might give us issues. Fuck. speaker-1: South Korea South Korea one zero. and South and South Africa two zero. speaker-0: Shout out South Africa. They played a lot of hard getting out of the group stage. Yeah. that was a good fight match too. but then we get to the the game w against England and leading up to it, man, I'm not just gonna focus on the game with England because I think it just kind of really c I felt elated every r every match leading up to it. It was fucking fantastic getting those end results and the way that we played. Then we get to the match with England and I just could not fucking shake the butterflies in my stomach, man. It's just everything that comes with ev all the fucking commentators saying, we got w we've got so many champion leagues players and we got this person over here playing these leagues. Who they got? They got Raúl Jimenez and that's by it and they got some guy playing in the the Saudi Arabia and I think that's one of my main issues with football in general is it just feels so fucking pretentious. Yeah you're using words like class and sorry Riley I didn't know you really like this shit. No I I think the language I agree I think the language that they use is on purpose because it creates a barrier and it's n it feels like what's it called? Discriminatory against classes. For sure. I guess. Yeah. Because you have to be you have to buy into that culture in order to enjoy football and the European level. So that's always been my issue with it. So then I hear all these fucking dickheads talking about how Mexico doesn't have anybody, coming up with fucking excuses that was so high up Evel talking about altitude, fucking talking about how scared that they were that their fucking players weren't gonna be able to get any night's sleep. Yeah. And but I just knew that all this fucking commotion that they they were causing was because they actually felt fearful. They actually felt like unsure and uncertain and they didn't like that a country like Mexico actually posed a problem. And that was my whole fucking issue with everything. Was like why wouldn't Mehiko pose a problem to England? I don't wanna hear y England ended up winning the game. I get the fucking result of it. But I don't want to hear anything about like how England outclasses Mexico in any aspect of anything. I mean, sure, maybe in football sense, on a year to year World Cup level, fine, fuck you. But in every other aspect, Mexico's fucking belt to ass England and I I'm talking like food and shit. I don't have anything. speaker-1: No, I got you. speaker-0: But it it just doesn't make any sense. It it really irritates me. It just feels very I hate pretentious attitudes. And England to me is that. I'm happy for Pink Panthers though. I like your music, so I'm glad that you're happy. That's the only person I'm glad for in England though. Pink Panthers. speaker-1: Damn shit. speaker-0: Yeah. so I feel the Mexico team imploded a little bit against England. I don't know if it was heat of the moment. speaker-2: So it's Charlie XEX, right? speaker-0: But the two fucking Jude Bellingham goals back to back within like five minutes was a fucking gut punch. The first one fucking sucked. The second one, like minutes later, you the Mehiko team was reeling and you could fucking feel it. And also you could tell on the pitch that they're f they we could not fucking keep up with their speed. Like we had to be tiki-tacky. and England put themselves in a position where it was foot race after foot race and it showed in those two goals that we just could not fucking keep up in a foot race. That was a fucking gut punch. Mexico was able to fight back and get one in before the half, which was fucking great. Shout out Quiñones. Yep. and then England fucking did what they did in the second half. speaker-1: That's your speaker-0: The Mexico team imploded, sure. But there was also some fucking stupid ass decisions from Aguirre. I was giving him props leading up to this fucking game, and then all of a sudden there was so many opportunities where Mexico was in the fucking box that Quiñones has been scoring goals like b like sh with shit bouncing off players. That's how he'd been scoring goals. He was Johnny on the spot, he was there when it needed. It was a better version of Chicharito in that sense. Because Chicharito was always kind of like a little bit of a cherry picker. But he fucked up sometimes and didn't capitalize. Quiñones Knew how to get it in every fucking time. And then they take him out and I'm like, okay, maybe they push Quiñones really hard. But that dude's been playing fucking 90 minutes every other fucking game. So I didn't get that. They take out Gil Mora who adds creativity to the fucking offense. I don't know what the fuck that's about. And he's still he's only like fucking 17. You can't tell me that motherfucking tired. And then they put in some fucking dumb fucks who were able to produce nothing on on offense. There was no plan. Like 20 minutes in. They get a red card in England. Am I gonna off to crazy or you gotta watch they get fucking England gets a red card at fucking minute sixty. They have ten people on the fucking field and we can't score one fucking goal with a team that has one less player. speaker-1: No, you're great. Literally giving the ball back to us time and time. speaker-0: D w w they have a player less and we still can't fucking score because we keep doing fucking dumbass crossovers. There was no fucking thought. There was no game plan. The game plan went out the window. I have never seen a team fucking actually shit the bed like that, game plan wise, because I'm sure the players play their asses off. But game plan wise, how the fuck does Aguirre fuck that up? If you're gonna die by the like live by the sword, die by the sword. In that sense, I think you was quines. I don't know how the fuck they took him out. That dude would have been a difference maker. speaker-2: They would have fucking kept trying Fuck you Gordon. Who the fu speaker-1: Yeah. speaker-0: What the fuck do they replace him with? Mamufe or some shit? speaker-1: no, they're brought in fucking Santiago Jimenez. speaker-0: that's bad. That motherfucker shouldn't that dude you get to aggravate people. speaker-1: Yeah. speaker-0: Those are my thoughts. Very irritated. I got really drunk and I stormed out and I didn't say bye to Ernesto and I'm sorry about that. But I went to the nearest bar to get a shot and a and a beer and then I bought some Spider-Man little Caesars pizzas to make me feel better and then I went home and just ate them very sadly. speaker-2: Yeah, okay. speaker-1: Yeah. Cool. You don't have to worry about it, buddy. when I I didn't stick around very long af after the game actually finished, so I was not a happy camper. I did not want to participate with anybody else. No, you're it's actually very well thought out and I'm proud of for that. so I think for the most part anything I mean a lot that you haven't already or that you you already have said, yes, the substitutions were the big speaker-0: Yummy pizza. Maybe my analysis wasn't that shallow. speaker-1: head scratchers. I mean I d I don't wanna dive into it too much because I mean it it's I mean it is what it is. speaker-0: this podcast is meant to deep dive into it a little speaker-1: No, I know, but like it's i i I I feel like I'm just kinda re re-egrigitating what you've already said. the substitutions for sure, Santiago Jimenez as much as I respect them, probably should not have been in the game. I d speaker-0: game like that. speaker-1: Kenyonis coming out was was a big mistake, in my in my opinion. I think we should we should we should have ro rode rode the game a little bit longer with with with Mora as well. all in all, I think we we kinda we kinda limited ourselves offensively, especially once we had the man advantage. the fact that we weren't able to capitalize really irks me. Tip of the hat to England, yes, they specifically Bellingham, I I I know you have your you might have your own opinions and thoughts on this, but Jude Bellingham really, really won my respect all all in all. Dude, the the goal he saved in the box in the first half where where Montes could have just tapped it in a and he saved at the last second. Dude, that's a game changer. the first goal completely earned that shit. The second goal, admittedly, it was a a mental lapse by us defensively. but yeah, he wa he definitely was man of the match and mm I can't I cannot say the same for Harry King. Harry Kane's a fucking bitch. I'm just gonna say that right now. Biggest fucking pussy I've seen on the on the pitch, bro. I I'm not no that's what I said bro, like straight up. Like I could not yeah that fucking penalty dude was just it was just fucking bullshit man. speaker-2: Tem ponton. speaker-0: Hey, so what the fuck is that about? The goalie charge too much or something? I don't really want to ask in the moment. speaker-1: So after I I might have sent you guys the video, FIFA actually confirmed that is the Ranquil actually got ball first. my so it should not have been a penalty. my god I didn't see that Yeah Yeah, so that's a part of the controversy. and then not just that in in the first half and then the first minute where where Romero got clipped in the head, that should have been a red card. yeah. That should have been a red card. speaker-2: See. No, I saw that I was just I I knew that should have been a red card to begin with and you would have been probably too crazy. speaker-1: 'Cause it was it w it was dec it was dec it was Declan Rice, yeah who's someone who made who made an impact on the game. speaker-2: I think he does make an impact on the game. and that could have changed a lot. But who knows would have that would have changed later on the it's hard. speaker-0: I mean speaker-1: Like you don't speaker-0: Ranghel, yeah. Okay. I thought she said Rangel. I wasn't trying to shit on Rangel too much on the penalty. No. Because he had been playing his ass off in the tournament thus far. And he was just trying to get after it. So I didn't even really blame him when that shit happened. But to hear that man, man, that's disheartening, dude. Like the game is the game. They're gonna make decisions as they see it, but speaker-1: And more more more so more more so than anything, well like you said to st to start it off, y you know, we should walk away from this tournament very proud. I think we we turned a lot of heads and earned the respect of a lot a lot of these, you know, premier nations with their with their talent level. there's even talk of between England and Mexico ha have host actually having a a friendly which is not very common. That's co so like th they definitely want they they want to host a f host us, you know, at Wembley which is gonna be pretty cool if it ended up ends up working out. no I think the future is bright for us overall. I I wanna thank Aguirre for what he did. Like you know he did, you know, lead lead a group that, you know gave us hope again. speaker-2: Yeah, inexperienced players where they've shown their their true selves playing super hard for Mexico, which really matters. speaker-1: For sure. And Ab absolutely. And with him stepping down, with Rafa Marquez taking over, I think he's the guy for the job, especially been in been as far as he has been. I know Guardado's gonna be an assistant as well. he's gonna be part of that coaching staff, so I think the the overall program is in very good hands. and yeah, we've got a lot of a lot of people that are finally realizing hey we we we do have the talent and we should be be be a force to be reckoned with after this tournament. Don't be surprised if you see at least three more Mexicans make it make it overseas. Guignones should be going over to to to the EPL in my opinion. You're gonna be seeing Moda w in the EPL as well. speaker-2: It not he might go EVL Mora might go to La Liga too. speaker-1: So it's gonna be about it. The the the the future is bright. the the one the last thing I will say is I go I w I wish he would have played Amiga a bit more 'cause he didn't get any he I think he only played like fourteen minutes in the first game. I think he sh the the considering if he was really wanting to get another s another score, instead of bringing in Kimenez, I would have brought him in. Yeah. speaker-0: Eating Laramiga is that good? I mean his number one score in Lali, I make he's out of that. That's true. speaker-2: Yeah. speaker-1: if if you really want to substitute that, if you if you want to bring that on that type of weaponry into the match, then he's the guy you want to go for. Give the get a chance. but you know, as we all know, hindsight's twenty twenty. I'm very proud of my team. Thank you for giving us hope to let us dream again and we'll be back. I promise you that. so that brings us to the quarterfinals. So yeah, great matchups underway. it's not a secret, we're Norway fans running the rest of the way, just so you guys know, 'cause the Norway's got the the next draw against England. Argentina who's still in it is taking on Switzerland. Switzerland is not gonna be a walk in the park. No they have a stout defense themselves. so it's gonna be Nor Norway versus England. Then we have Argentina versus Switzerland. speaker-0: Can you name them out one more time? speaker-1: Francia v versus Morocco and then we got Espana Belgique. Belgium yeah yeah speaker-0: Okay. Go ahead. speaker-1: so preje pre well we'll we'll save your your team for for for for for no just that to g to give you more time to actually break it down. Spain Belgium speaker-0: Hold on boys. Ozzy? Yeah. speaker-2: Sorry my stomach's been doing that. No, I'm good. You sure? speaker-1: yeah, we go. speaker-0: Yeah. I think your thing's gonna die, bro. I laptop. Hmm. Okay. check your internet connection. speaker-2: One mate. really? I can go grab the charging cord real quick. We can move it back. speaker-1: Yeah. I think so. What do think? speaker-0: I think so too. going back in. Still in. speaker-1: Easy peasy. speaker-0: yeah, I guess so. speaker-1: Shit. Gotta get the wiggles out. Get the wiggles out. I know. You get to see it all. Enjoy the show. Enjoy. speaker-0: Well we're still recording. one eleven actually, maybe I can try. I'm really curious. I might try to fuck around on the computer after this. to see if I can edit. Well, not if I get the A role button until then. Which sounds it's gonna be fucking months after. speaker-1: We'll find out. speaker-0: So practice tomorrow? With like the four or five of us? speaker-1: Yeah no. At it's a good get some batting practice, yeah. Yeah. speaker-0: so what, this game this Friday, bye next week? speaker-1: No. we got we play the tomorrow, which is the tenth. Uh-huh. Two days from now, which is the tenth. The seventeenth by thirty-first and the eighth. speaker-0: Okay. Holy shit. Alright. Thank you, Riley. Mm-hmm. Still technically recording, so speaker-2: I think the charging card is on the Yeah, it's on the side. That's what I was saying, like we may have to move. speaker-0: Yeah. Let me plug it in. Yeah, you can move the laptop. speaker-2: me. yeah. yeah. yeah. It's like one. There we go. speaker-0: Ten, two, one don't get this and speaker-2: Mike out there. Hear the wind. Are you still recording? Good. speaker-1: Yeah dude. Did you say some shit while you were out there? Were you talk when you were talking shit about us while you was out there live? Liar. Did you did you actually? No. speaker-2: No dude. I love them. No, no, no, didn't it? speaker-1: He's like, fuck this show, bro. I don't wanna do this shit anymore, man. speaker-2: No I hate Mexicans. speaker-0: God. speaker-2: I hate all Mexicans in the world. speaker-0: No dude. speaker-2: I was I was hopeful. I wanted you guys to win. Fuck the Brits. speaker-0: I don't need an Argentinan's help. Or a pollo. speaker-1: Thanks, Riley. I appreciate it. speaker-2: Yeah. Yeah. speaker-0: I don't need it. All right. speaker-2: What you said was right though, like about how they were I didn't know they were explaining that 'cause we were watching Telemundo or the game on Telemundo instead of the English version or Fox sports. speaker-0: You don't know they were explaining why. speaker-2: on Fox Force that they were explaining that they have all the match or they have all the class, they have was that after the game? speaker-0: No, I I I just meant in general. It's kinda it seems like a Yeah. It seems speaker-2: Taking it in a literal sense. speaker-0: No no no. It just seems classist in the way that they talk. Maybe it's just the way the English people talk. But I think there's like a certain culture that comes with watching football over there. That you have to buy in to. And it seems like it's very European centric. I mean like what Argentinas are also saying class and pitch and shit. speaker-2: It is Yeah. Yeah. speaker-1: I mean Yeah. speaker-0: Everybody's got their own way of saying it, but it seems like Europe is the standard for football and football language and how football is talked about. speaker-1: Well well, I mean, to be fair it is, but the way it comes off is very pretentious and annoying. speaker-0: Like what the fuck are the commentators saying well like who does Mexico have? We have Harry Kane and Jude Benihan. It's like speaker-1: Yeah, that that's from that standpoint, yes, you're absolutely right. It's it's it's bullshit speaker-0: And it's fucking ex players. So it's not like fucking just dickheads, you know. Like ex players for England. And so it's like, okay, well now you're coming off at a point where you're having a unbiased opinion. At least when we're fucking because the podcast is going now. At least when we're recording on the podcast, we're saying we're delusional fans. Why don't you just say you're fucking speaker-1: No, i but honestly like you ta you're talking about like older white Brits. Like is is probably like well the on speaker-0: Brown guy. Henri? Henry or some shit. Fucking say the same shit. speaker-1: Thierry? The French guy? Yeah, speaker-2: Okay. speaker-1: I mean, I think well, I don't know. speaker-2: I think he was I think he was more saying that in a sense that they should have won like because they've ha they have these types of players, but like I feel like that is very pretentious in a way to feel like you should know better than not to say that. But like for Mehiko to prove and play in that type of altitude because they've they have players in Liga MX and they play at the stadiums. So they had a little bit of an advantage there. but it speaker-0: That's the other thing. How many times do we have to fucking hear that Mexico Mexico's never had a home field advantage at all at any point? For whatever I don't fucking complain when we have to go to Brazil, nobody's complaining when we're going to Qatar and shit. Qatar didn't even fucking do anything in the World Cup, so it's not like that was a fucking massive advantage for them. speaker-2: No, yeah I speaker-1: Yeah. speaker-2: No. Yeah, I know. No. They just had the lack of players. speaker-0: It was it was them complimenting by taking away from Mexico what bothered me. speaker-1: That that that's it right there. You nail it right on the head. The o the only one who who actually gave you know Mexico any any type of respect was probably Zlatan. And it's like i i if he he straight up even said I can't I can't remember the the direct quote. he's like if you were to ask me that England's gonna have a a walk in the park against these Mexicans, I could not tell you that. That that is not the case. Like I don't know. Not that they they're they're coming into a s a situation where Mexico could win. Yeah. and that Yeah. speaker-0: You can call a girl pretty without saying the other girl's ugly. speaker-1: Yeah. Which is what it and which is what what you were saying, like Henri was doing and the other fucking, you know, commentary. speaker-0: So with that, fuck I hope the whole island gets blown up. Carrying on to the final eight. speaker-1: Yeah. speaker-2: Yeah, okay. speaker-0: Talk shit about another country like that. Fucking if you think you're that much better. speaker-1: Yeah, no, you make a good point. Yeah. But well No, but to be fair, i France is probably gonna be a war zone regardless if they win or lose, considering they're playing Morocco. Here we are. speaker-2: He's French. So speaker-0: But final eight. speaker-1: Finally, so we'll start with Espania and Belgica. Spain and Belgium. S I haven't really been impressed with Spain to be honest. speaker-2: Defensively defensively I have and they haven't let a goal they haven't allowed any goals in the no and they're not they no they didn't they didn't concede the port they actually at all. 'Cause they tied Kate Verde's year nil nil. Like that that was speaker-1: Th then they can see to But that wasn't their first that wasn't their first a knockout stage game, was it? speaker-2: That was their first group stage. But I'm saying for the whole tournament they haven't conceded any goals. speaker-1: So in both knockout games they've played so far, they haven't conceded a goal. Who did they play before Portugal? Let me let me go through my roller base in my head real fast. Yeah. speaker-0: In the knockout. speaker-1: The knockout. speaker-2: This is why I have a sound one. speaker-1: Thanks, buddy. speaker-0: While you guys are thinking about that, fuck Spain, I'm going Belgium. For the culture. Their kids are better. speaker-1: For the culture. Okay. For the culture. Yeah. Yeah, that that that kid is beautiful. The one they had against the US. Austria. That's right. Yeah. Yeah, thank you. Thank you. speaker-2: they they played Austria. speaker-0: right. speaker-2: But they yeah, they be Uruguay one nil, Saudi Arabia four nil and then tied caveary to India nil. speaker-1: So they really haven't given up a single goal. Motherfuckers. Yeah. Huh. Well shit. speaker-2: That's why I say that I've been very impressed with their defense. speaker-1: Well given that little tidbit and I'm probably just I'm about to jinx them, I'm saying I'm gonna go spin on that one then. Yeah. speaker-2: Belgium could play with their height 'cause they have a lot of tall forwards and defenders that just their whole team has a height advantage against Spain. but I still i if Spain doesn't give up those unnecessary free kicks or those corners, it's gonna be very difficult for Belgium. But I think the I think going I'm going with Spain. speaker-0: Alright, yeah. speaker-1: Next game, France and Morocco. Hm I speaker-2: Big head says France. My little head says Morocco. speaker-1: There it is. speaker-0: Now our special friend can't say that I'm the only one talking about speaker-1: So your big head says your little head says speaker-2: France, Morocco. The reason behind is I I love underdogs. speaker-1: Are aren't they both big heads though? speaker-2: That's what I was trying to say earlier. speaker-0: Ransomone speaker-1: Fucking sounded Jinnedai. Yeah, I'm doing Morocco too. speaker-0: Morocco. really? But you're French. speaker-1: Yeah French fucking revolution speaker-0: Viva Bobby speaker-1: Bapy Omle Du from speaker-0: Bobby's really I think Poppy can really make a run for the MLS. You're actually going to France then? Wheat. We we'll see it. We'll see it. Okay. Do you guys want to get the details? Maybe a quick little synopsis of why you think so? Bobby. speaker-1: Je t'aime, je t'aime les douffements. Oui, si oui, monsieur. Oui, monsieur. Monsieur. Imbabbe is looking unstoppable. Imbab is looking unstable. Yeah. speaker-2: No, he's he's o he always looks unstoppable when he plays for France. speaker-0: Then what makes you think Brock? speaker-1: And and and before I move on to Morocco, like if it you do happen to shackle up Mbappen you also gotta worry about Nembele. And Nembele's it is just that. So no they they they they got a in my opinion they do have a complete T speaker-0: Mbaba is hilarious also also. I've been learning how to cooking. what what can you expect on the menu? for example nothing. For the moment nothing. speaker-2: I'm still learning. speaker-0: Can you improve on the next next season? Well, like this season I got like too many yellow cards. I got a lot of yellow cards, so I gotta work on that. Well he's in like Rico. speaker-1: Solid. Self aware man, I get it. I respect Morocco. Morocco. Yeah. Fair enough. speaker-0: He's funny. I like him. Yeah, yeah, for friends. speaker-1: we'll be on the door. speaker-2: well my thoughts on Morocco Morocco's Yeah. sure some dismiss it. Yeah. Okay, okay. Anything else? Any anything else you wanna share? speaker-0: Very well. speaker-1: You can't speaker-0: No, I fucking tuned out as soon as my ankle lost. And I barely paid attention when the USA lost. I don't give a f I don't have a dog in the race anymore. Okay. At this point I just want all the world to fucking burn and Norway to just kinda be left standing with just Holland and then he speaker-2: I think Morocco I think tactically they play really well together. they they flow really well together. speaker-0: And Bobby does it. speaker-1: Mm, he's he's kind of a diva. That's what I'll say. speaker-2: Mbappe? Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. He's good. He re he's really good. He's gonna be he's gonna be a very he's gonna be a legend. Like technically he is speaker-1: He backs it He backs it up. speaker-0: If speaker-1: Yeah. speaker-0: he would have been solidified. speaker-1: The fact that he had a hatred in the final made him a legend. speaker-0: Yeah. If he would have won that would have been that much better though. I think that would've might be that would have destined him to be speaker-2: I think he's still better than Messi. speaker-1: We can say. speaker-2: I'm fucking with that. I feel like he will be better than Messi once Messi retires. speaker-0: Yeah. This plant. With this platform I'm gonna be able to make TikToks I'm sending that right. speaker-1: Alright, fuck alright, fuck you movie on. speaker-2: Yeah. Ha ha speaker-1: Alright, England, Norway. Fuck England, go Norway, leave a Holland. speaker-0: Harlan is just a premier player. He's g he he's is scoring what what do they call it when you when you get more than two of them in a bucket at one time in one minute? It's a brace. Yeah Harlan's got so many braces, he could f he could create a whole secondary Norway team off just the braces alone. Who the fuck does England have? They beat a bunch of Mexicans over in Estadio Stecker speaker-2: Price. speaker-0: He's connecting his whole team together. The Viking bloodline. The English are peasants. Stick to your bangers and mash while you get banged and mashed by a true not Viking. speaker-2: yeah. speaker-1: Oasis sucks ass and the beetles are overrated. Let's go! So speaker-2: I like the Beatles, but Fuck England? But the brakes speaker-1: Fuck Liam Gallagher. speaker-0: Here is that too fucking pretentious, change the way you talk. Except Except Except you Pink Panthers. You're doing just great. speaker-2: And fuck you Henderson, exactly bitch. speaker-1: Yeah. Next step to you, sleep token, I love you guys. Okay, here we go. speaker-0: and the dumb fuck who would try to jump over the thing and snap the shit in half. You see that? that guy's yeah, yeah. Fucking two you gotta do a little bit too little bit more wanking, you fuckin' wanker. Yeah, lack of wanking is how you broke your fucking You fucking dumb con speaker-1: Anderson. speaker-2: Buenca. Shit. You fucking gotta use your opposite hand. You gotta use the opposite hand now. speaker-1: That's fucked. But I don't you you're a man of many times. speaker-0: Pure fucking rage at this point. speaker-1: So Norway, huh? Everybody? Yeah. Perfect. Alright, and then the last quarter final match. Yeah. Alright, Mimi? Switzerland, Arkadina. speaker-0: I know speaker-2: Guys, I don't know. Capture No. Viva Argentina speaker-1: Why? speaker-0: Over Swiss? speaker-1: No, I said why. I'm asking him why.

That's gross. All right, cool. God damn. So our first episode on speaker-2: Close. Should I? speaker-0: we're not gonna get into like what our predictions are in that case then? For what? Who fucking ends up in the finals and shit? Well the next time we fucking record it might be in a w wow. speaker-1: well we're well we are we don't speaker-2: Didn't I already say Argentina is gonna make it? speaker-0: Everyone else will. speaker-1: Everybody know who the fuck you're w ch saying. Okay. Okay, yes, go ahead. speaker-0: I speaker-2: Then they live. speaker-0: got Morocco going against Belgium because I think those are gonna be the winners. And then what's gonna happen is Fuck. Wait, no, because yeah, it would be Morocco would go against Belgium, right? Mm-hmm. And I'm gonna say Morocco. And then let's see, Argentina versus Norway. That's where Norway's gonna win. And then it'll be Norway Morocco. Finals. speaker-1: France, Spain, Switzerland, Norway. Norway, Spain. Norway Norway winning the whole thing. speaker-2: Okay. That's ideal. That's ideal. That's in the ideal scenario. speaker-0: The conquistadores versus the pretty dope. And then Riley's just Argentina Argentina Argentina by V A R. speaker-1: Yeah, twenty minutes later. speaker-0: I gave you an hour and a half of not giving you shit.

Couple inches. speaker-1: Either a that or a mirror. speaker-2: You just said chemical You speaker-1: I think they gave up his GS, didn't he? speaker-2: said chemicals though. speaker-0: Fucking I'm not gonna say that.
