Just like Italy to.
They got the the group that everybody wanted to be in
Louis bad. Hell will be very happy. The USA are l. So we go.
Let's see what happens here.
This is going to be really interesting.
Logs on what I want, you know, you're
here, H, let's go. No, it's happening.
We're gonna have ourselves a PST
situation here. England, and the USA
put Markham down in The Knockout rounds USA. Right now
group, be winners
book, it it's happened. It's happened. It's happened. So my
God, how is already connected? That England won't lose a match
and they're going to win the whole
tournament. So how often did I tell you this?
How often have I been saying this?
The last few weeks and was England.
Okay. I'm pausing
absolutely said this.
Oh, wow.
I'm so excited. We might get fired. Andy. That's how excited
the fans will be coming thick and fast for sure.
What do you think about that reaction live? And you have words
and Nick Mandela take it away? USA plan.
We were going to give a big lawyer.
Yeah. It was going to happen. I think match. Matchup wise,
I think Raw Talent England probably got as much as anybody
there in him pot one.
They've got the international experience from two major
tournaments in a row that they've been to the semifinals
and the final the US has none of that England. Obviously
massive, massive favorites for this group. And if they don't
win the group, I think with nine points, a big
disappointment from
England, that's that's my personal opinion, right there.
I'm already booing Harry McGuire. I mean, that's what
I'm doing. I am booing him. I'm going to boo him at
the weekend.
Going to fly and follow him around just to get him off his game.
No, I don't like this whatsoever.
But I also like that the US will be clear, underdogs here.
I'll get to get real angry with England because their media is
so dismissive of Americans. The like, this is Joe this really
couldn't turn out better for us because if we lose, it's like
yeah, your England. What do you want? And if
you haven't anything other than that, it's like
guys cheese.
First place to soccer. Is it coming home? So just be ready.
That's all. Saying,
I think it would be really
good news guys. If,
if they get the European Club, instead of a European team
instead of the African team
teams because you might get England, maybe a little bit
Juiced, if it's Wales or Scotland,
I think that could be a nice
distraction and it is, isn't it? Yes, the European playoff
team.
This is a tough group, but it's not the worst group that just
got tougher, but it's manageable.
It's manageable in a way that we thought 2014 was not at all.
I mean think about what that group was and the fact that
they got through it, obviously a completely different team,
a different coach and everything, a different time in the sport,
in the country and everything.
But this is not the most difficult group at the US has
ever had in a world cup. I still think they get out.
I think they finished second behind England. I don't know
about you guys. If you're Gregg girl
today, you were hoping to be able to watch less games. The
only thing you wanted was not a playoff team there, right? And
I think the Scotland or Wales
part would benefit the us,
but if it's Ukraine, I hate it. I think
I'm gonna go ahead and say it. I fear that game
Yar. Malenko is a great leader on that team. He's a good player.
There there a hardened team. They've obviously gone through
the wildest X-Factor this year with what's going on with
the war. So that is, it's going to be brutal. I also it's going to
be funny.
Again, not to be all over the English media Joe here,
but they really should be saying this is easy now,
but they won't because they don't want Scotland and Wales
to be mad at them.
It's for me, is as close to a dream drawer. I have to admit
Mulder, narratives around it, the USA, and then Scotland, or
potentially, whales, or Ukraine, could make it through
as well. But I think
Wales with bail and Scotland, how they did it. The Euros or
probably favored potentially over Ukraine and obviously
a very tough situation for Ukraine right now with a lot of
their players
not being able to play for their Club teams. I think
they would be, everyone's second favorite team at
the World Cup, right after your own Nation. If they did qualify,
everyone would want them to do well more. So you send off.
Thoughts and prayers go out to everyone in Ukraine and what
they're going through right now.
It'd be great to see them at the World Cup, but
for me as a Brit
and being a resident of the US,
this
is just absolutely Bonkers. To be honest England u.s.a., How
about the opportunity to get Scotland in the group stage
back-to-back tournaments,
18 months apart.
I was at Wembley for that
Euro 2020 group. Stage game between England. Scotland. A
lot of kilts. It's a lot of bagpipes and a lot of whiskey.
That's the way I'd sum it up. Best.
It was Western McKenney. Will fistfights Cosmic. Tahminae?
That's good. That's the question to the most intense
players in every game they play.
So, I'm signed up for that. I can't. Hi, guys. I'm flummoxed.
I can't think about anything other than the United States
group.
And the thing I keep thinking about is
I thought with Burkhalter getting them back that they
were in a two-cycle coach situation now. And looking at
this group, if they don't get out of the group stage, they
We're going to have a new coach for the second group.
And this I think the pressure is now absolutely huge.
Even if it's Ukraine, who I think is the best of the three.
I think this was a day
that the US isn't just going back to the World Cup, but if
they live up to their ability, if they choose the right Squad,
they should be expected as Andy said, to finish, no worse than
second here. And, and who knows, if,
if the England Us game is last,
we should be talking about them going into a game. That's must
In for the group and the potential to play the second
place team from a winnable side.
So even if they get out of the group,
we are looking at
the best group that I think you might want to pick to play in
the next round. Even those audio Mane
is lurking there. So I don't know if you guys agree with me,
but this was a day that the u.s. And all of
the expectations should be no less than getting out of the group
and ink, would you think about? Yeah USM. Yeah,
that drill works out very well. You got to be happy with that,
right?
Yeah, group stage and then round of 16 progression,
I think sets up. Well, can I say one thing? I know they're
producers, have a comment ready that I saw this goes out to my
car guy, handsome, Eric
USA fans of the only ones who want an easy Road.
Top teams. Don't care who they play.
Fax fax alternative X, maybe like this. Is that
every team wants the easiest Road and I think
you get into cliches here. You have to be very
I am a
stubborn person and I always, you know, to be the best. You
gotta want to beat the best yet if they're in your way, but if
you can put me in the final today,
I'd rather be cold and just have one game to win.
I cannot sometimes a common just leaps out you and
handsome. Eric. I like that use the K at the end. I think maybe
we could have a good
conversation over a beer,
but the all caps facts
is too much for me
too much for me.
There's a lot of thankful on around right now this world cup
troll, but the fact is it's done. It's in the books and we
can now look forward to it
in November.
