You're listening to Fox Sports Radio. Well, Mo Adu is a soccer analyst, has been four years for Spock Sports, former midfielder, defender for the United States men's national team for seven years and Moadu is now joining us live as the World cup has winding down to the final game Argentina and Spain. You know, it's really interesting, the whole time I've doubted Argentina. I see him struggle with Cape Verde as him struggle with Switzerland. They don't score early. It's miraculous. Late. Why do you think they're so good late? And I mean they really play to their level of competition. That's exactly what they do. They're an older team. Messi's 39. Why, why is every game with Argentina? Shouldn't they beat Cape Verde 4 nil? Shouldn't, shouldn't it look like that? Like how do you explain Argentina?
- [05:08]
Mo Adu
I well first, Cape Verde deserves some credit because the two finalists, Spain and Argentina, you would say they gave them the best games. Nil. Nil. With Spain they did three two late game heroics from Argentina. What I would say about Argentina, although it's been to your point. Yeah, they've made every game more entertaining than maybe they anticipated. But what's the beauty of their team is their mentality. Monsters, man, these guys, the level of belief, the level of emotion that they have when they play these games and they just never know when they're beat. I think part of that is the experience. It's about 17 other guys were part of that group that won the final in 2022. And then it doesn't hurt, Colin that you have the greatest player ever playing on your team in Lionel Messi. And this guy, I've run out of superlatives who attached to what he does for his team, for his teams, I'll say. But when you have him on the pitch, you just always have belief. You look at the game against England, you go down a goal and straight away you think, okay, there's pressure on us. But no, there's almost this unwavering calm that exists amongst this team. And they just know when to raise the tempo, when to apply more pressure. And there's never a fear that they're not going to win the game.
- [06:16]
Colin Cowherd
If you were Jude Bellingham and Harry Kane, forget the loss itself, would you be discouraged or maybe a little disgruntled on the tactical decision to do 35 to 37 minutes of preventative soccer? The body language was bad. They got out of rhythm. They just. The tactical move by Thomas Tuchel, would that be something it would hard for you eventually to get over?
- [06:40]
Mo Adu
I mean, I'd eventually get over it, of course, but time heals all, because time heals all wounds. But yeah, the rawness of that situation, you would feel like we went into a shell.
- [06:51]
Mangish Shetigulur
Right.
- [06:51]
Mo Adu
When you're on the pitch, of course the responsibility is on the players to deliver, to win, headers in their own box, to make plays, to try to decide the game. But when you're on the pitch and you see you just scored a goal, okay, naturally you're going to get a reaction from the opponent and that pressure starts to mount. But the first player, the first sub that comes in is a center back to replace a winger. Now, regardless of whatever the message against for the coach, the players, hey, we still want to be on the attack. We still want to try to create. The messaging might have even been we want to be more aggressive. But what that tells you, a defender coming in to replace a winger, naturally it tells you we're trying to hold on. And if that's the case, I mean, you've got to be frustrated. And if you would have done your prep going into that game, Argentina has scored three goals in every game but one going into that match. Right. So if you're thinking you're going to win that game, you think we have to score more than one goal to have success. So if I'm Harry Kane, if I'm Bellingham, of course I would feel frustrated because you feel like you didn't play your game. You feel like you derailed from what had been successful for you guys up to that point. Yes, a couple games, they went to a fight back and it worked. You're playing the world champions, you're playing Messi, you're playing a team that has shown you through the course of this tournament that they will, till the final whistle, find a way to score goals and create chances.
- [08:07]
Colin Cowherd
Do you feel better or worse going forward about the United States Manda national team today?
- [08:14]
Mo Adu
I feel better and it's going to sound crazy. I feel better because what this World cup did for our country and for our team is it put a massive spotlight. I mean, that game against Belgium, although it's the most disappointing game of the tournament, there were 30 million plus people who tune in to watch that game. So there's more recognition and kind of a rallying cry for more from this group of players, from this team, from our federation. And so that, to me, that works across the whole spectrum of football in this country. So the players that were a part of this group, going forward, the next competitions, how do we step our game up? How do we perform at a higher level? And then we start to think of, how can we be better and better prepared for these moments? To me, that starts with the youth, of course. And when you talk about success at the highest level, that doesn't happen overnight. Right? France had to wait decades before they won a World Cup. Spain had to wait till, what, 2010 before they won a World Cup. So it's not something that's just gonna happen overnight. But I also think success is not something that just falls into your hand. You have to find moments to. To create this feeling. So my point in all that is we have some tournaments coming up, right? The Olympics. How do we apply the right amount of respect to go into that tournament where we're thinking we can try to win that competition the same way we came into this competition, saying a home World cup is the best chance that we have to make a deep run or to make a World cup final or to do something impressive? The same feeling has to be attached to a home Olympics. Yes, it's a youth team that's going to play under 23s, but that's where it starts, you know, when you Talk about developing youth and making that step in our, in the right direction. That same level of attention has to be applied to our Olympic team as well.
- [09:53]
Colin Cowherd
You know, Thomas Tuchel, very interesting, the British manager, he said, he goes, I think ball possession plays a crucial role. It's maybe not in our DNA like it is Spain, Argentina or Brazil to take the ball, control the game and the ball, it's like a big problem for us. So I don't know what the reputation of British players. I know the English Premier League is kind of tough and physical, drives a lot of revenue, wildly popular. But you know, we were talking, and Greg Burhalter talked about this earlier on the show, is that when I watch certain countries play, it's like the ball's connected to the foot. And I don't think that comes from a D1 scholarship or coaching. I think it comes from being four years old in an alleyway kicking the ball around to yourself. Do we, are we a mile from that or do you see advancements in our technical expertise and excellence? Because. Right. I mean, England, their manager is saying, I don't, I don't think we control it like Spain. How do you view that as a, as a somebody that's played at the highest level?
- [11:04]
Mo Adu
Well, one, I would hate to hear that comment if I'm an English player. I know, right. Because I would hate to hear that. But the other part to it and how it applies to the US is yeah, I do agree that we, we have to lean into who we are, you know, as and what kind of athletes and players we produce. But within saying that we have to improve. When you look at the teams that are playing in the final. Yeah. Or even in the semifinals. Right. Spain, France, Argentina, England, despite that, that, that comment from their manager, these are teams that are proficiently at a higher level when it comes to playing this game. And yes, from the technical standpoint, that's developed in so many different facets. You're going to learn X, Y and Z when you're within a setting in a team. But what you're doing on your own, how do you fall in love with the ball on your own? Playing individually, playing in street soccer games, playing in just playing with your siblings, just finding more moments to fall in love and have that one on one attention with the ball, that's everything. Because then when you get into a team setting, you're prepared, you're able to adapt, you're able to be creative and express that creativity in different ways. And so I think we need to create more environments where this kind of rawness is allowed to be expressed and encouraged. But then the other part to that is we need to also create these environments that are away from team settings where players, kids grow up and they just go out there and play freely.
- [12:27]
Colin Cowherd
It's just really interesting when I read that. So, you know, a lot of times, and I don't know if there's any sport like this, maybe basketball, where some of the greatness comes from culture and lifestyle. And how, you know, do you fall in love with a game? You know, it's hard to play football mo by yourself, right? You know, who am I blocking, who am I rushing? You know, baseball, similarly. But basketball, I can go out in the yard. As a kid, I would literally play. I grew up rurally. I'd play basketball for hours by myself. Soccer, give me the ball. Let me play around with it like some hockey. Hard to do it by yourself. So, I mean, I think some of that. Soccer and basketball, golf, by the way, give me a club and some balls. I can sit there in the range for hours. I don't know. I hope we have the culture. I hope.
- [13:13]
Mo Adu
No, I agree with you. I'm glad you said that, because as I was talking, that's what I was thinking as well. I think basketball is. Is the closest comp because you can just. All you need, realistically, you need a court, but. Or a hoop, but you can go and play one on. You can go and shoot hoops. You can go and work on your. On your moves. You can do all these things that then when you get into a setting or a game, boom. It's like second nature. Same thing with soccer. All you need is the ball. A ball, maybe a wall. But even with just a ball, you can work on your touch, you can juggle, you can work on, like, all those little small things. And you see that, right? You see the guys that make it in the NBA, they have that rawness about them. Some of their skills were developed in just, like, street settings where they just are just playing because they love the game. And that love had led them to say, I want to be better. The same thing needs to happen in our sport on a more consistent and a higher level.
- [14:02]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, it's like art. It's music, it's acting, it's entertainment. It's soccer, it's basketball. They are kind of experimental. I mean, I was reading a story about Allen Iverson's crossover. You know, the guy, he learned it from, like, you know, it's just like so much of basketball. Like, you watch Dunk contests and guys are, you know, they made that up. You know, they're sitting with a buddy,
- [14:23]
Mo Adu
doing it on their own.
- [14:24]
Colin Cowherd
That's right. They're doing. They're not doing practice time. SPO's not giving you time to dunk during practice. Right. Mo, it's great seeing you, as always. I appreciate it.
- [14:33]
Mo Adu
I appreciate you, my man. Thank you again.
- [14:36]
Colin Cowherd
Thank you. Yeah, it's. But it's, you know, like when you watched Belgium, USA, like three minutes in, you're like, man, 90 seconds and you're like, man, we're not, our possessions are not good. I mean, England's possessions, Argentina. It's just so natural. It's so easy, you know, Is it a lot of it? Is it cultural? But I do think soccer and basketball have always felt that they're kind of just intertwined at certain levels.

Hey everybody. I'm Tareka Fosta Brasby. What's up y'? All? I'm your girl, Sheryl Swoooo. When you tune in to a new episode of our podcast, Levels to this, you're definitely gonna get some spy CWNBA analysis. I see a lot of men who get into the space because now it's a hot product and that grinds my gears to dust. But then the conversation goes on and levels up beyond basketball. It's been really, really cool seeing kind of these women just really step into their power off the court and understand that they are basketball right? And they're not. Ask because on Levels to this, the game is always the starting point. But we're more than just hoops and the real conversation is what we actually bring. This is Levels to this, the podcast about all the levels of stuff that women go through.

Mainstream media is full of crude depictions of the unhoused. Stories that shame and blame and paint the unhoused as a monolith. We the Unhoused is the podcast that's changing that. I'm Theo Henderson, creator and host of and for years I've created a space where the unhoused and their advocates can tell their own stories. In the last few months alone, I've interviewed unhoused parents, immigrants, mutual aid organizers, veterans, the LGBTQTIA community, and the policymakers who make the laws that impact the Unhoused existence. We Unhouse is a two time Webby and Signal award winning show with many exciting guests on the horizon. Tune in this week for my interview with Dr. Jill Wicheric, a street doctor turned influencer whose work with the unhoused community has made a huge impact online and in her community.

John Middelkoff for the news. No, no, no, no.
- [19:53]
Theo Henderson
Turn on the news.
- [19:54]
Mo Adu
This is the Herdline news.
- [19:57]
John Middelkoff
Okay, let's start with baseball where the second half of the season kicks off with an Incredible Series. The 2024 World Series rematch Shohei and the Dodgers headed into the Bronx. Problem though, Colin is the Yankees big time player has rib injury been out a long time and not scheduled to come back anytime soon. But they've actually done a pretty good job without him. They've gone 18 and 19 and they've kind of gained a little ground on the raise. Aaron Boone done a good job this year, but the Dodgers best record in baseball kind of feel like, you know, in the late 90s when the Yankees were rattling off World Series every year it feels like it would be shocking if they don't win it again.
- [20:39]
Colin Cowherd
Well, the Yankees are very home run dependent and if Aaron Judge is not available, there's your biggest home run stick. So I mean again the Dodgers have guy Mookie Betts last year struggled for a long time. I mean Ohtani had a bad was it divisional series or you know, nationally championship series? The Yankees are not a great defensive team. They're not like base to base baseball station to station baseball team. They're a power hitting team and power pitching team. So Judge is a huge loss for them. I mean you go back to the World Series against the Dodgers a couple of years ago, they looked almost unathletic compared to the Dodgers defensively and on the bases. So they're, they're not that. They're, they're like Argentina, a lot of good players. The key is Messi Yankees have a lot of good players. The key is overwhelmingly Aaron Judge.
- [21:28]
John Middelkoff
Is it fair to say, you know, the nl, the Braves are really good. The brewers are really good. We know the Phillies have a ton of talent. The NL feels much better than the AL. I mean the White Sox are in first place. I don't know if the AL's quite if Judge can come back I do believe the Yankees could make a run. Like you said, a little bit of a flawed team to college football. Talk about making a run. Arch Manning enters another season, ton of hype. He's gotten a lot of criticism since their loss to Ohio State last year. In Fox very own Urban Meyer spoke to the criticism that Arch has been getting.
- [22:05]
Colin Cowherd
The common denominator of every great quarterback is a great group of players around him. And I remember talking to Sark about this. You know, everybody's all over Arch Manning.
- [22:12]
Sports Commentator (possibly a co-host or analyst)
I get it.
- [22:13]
Colin Cowherd
Your quarterback and you had that last name. Get used to a pal. That's going to be the rest of your life. However, when players aren't open, that's not the quarterback's fault. And the receivers against Ohio State really struggle. They're very talented. They didn't play great in that game. Every quarterback that has a great year, he is surrounded by dudes. Yeah, I. I've got high hopes, but there are, and I say this with admiration and love to Sark and Texas football, because I've always loved it, even as a kid. I have no connection to it. But they do feel like there are those times where Buffalo Bills have this, like, you know, it's not just a talent thing. It's like they just keep losing on the margins in big games. And it's like I. In big games with Texas, I thought they got pushed around a couple years ago by Georgia. They just weren't as physical. So it's like, I know they're going to be good. Sark's taking them to a top five or six program in the country. I think they've eclipsed Alabama in terms of recruiting and nil and consistent quarterback play. But I'll believe a title when I see it. I just. I want to watch it develop. They have. They have a really tough schedule. It is a really.
- [23:22]
John Middelkoff
Can we throw up the schedule? Because I think now that they've entered the sec. Look at this thing in Oklahoma, right? Coming from the Big 12.
- [23:31]
Colin Cowherd
Oh, my God.
- [23:31]
John Middelkoff
Little different animal. I do believe this. Last year, the Ohio State game, I don't remember the score off top of my head.
- [23:39]
Colin Cowherd
Low scoring.
- [23:40]
John Middelkoff
It was low scoring, but they kind of got worked. Texas did not look good. They got to win that game. Not just for their own psyche, for Arches. Pos. You know, kind of positive momentum heading into the season. Because, look, Ole Miss was in the Final Four last year. I mean, Tennessee is a. Is a team that's considered down in the sec. That's not easy to go there and win, you know, Florida with Summerall is going to be way better. LSU's got Lane Kiffin. A and M is. I know they beat him last year, but now this year it's going to be in College Station.
- [24:10]
Colin Cowherd
Texas is not going undefeated with that schedule. Now they get Ole Miss and Trinidad Chambliss at home. That helps that, that, that's, I mean, that, that's a, I mean especially after you played in order, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Florida, then the fourth games, Ole Miss, if that's in Oxford, you're losing that football game. That's, that's like college kids. It's hard to answer the bell four weeks in a row and Ole Miss may be better than all those teams. So yeah, it's a rough schedule at Missouri's tricky. LSU is going to be big time.
- [24:38]
John Middelkoff
Well, there's only 12 teams in the playoffs and more than likely if you go nine and three, you're not getting in. You're going to lose an SEC game, maybe two. So if you lose that Ohio State game, Texas would only have the margin for error to lose one SEC game to keep their. You to keep to go 10 and 2. And the pressure on Arch. What's their roster worth? 50, 60 million dollars?
- [25:00]
Colin Cowherd
I mean they all, they only leave the state of Texas three times. So that's the good news. They're not, they don't have. Their road trips are easy, but again, you're traveling with 19, 20, 21 year old kids. Road trips can be in the NFL. I almost feel like there's no home field advantage anymore with all the equipment. In college you see good teams go on the road and literally fold within, within two drives. You're like turnovers, penalties. So it's hard when I see a college schedule that's got, I mean just look at these losable road games at Tennessee, at Missouri, at lsu, at Texas A and M. They probably won't lose at Missouri, but Missouri can be sneaky. You know, in two of those games it's just going to, you're going to have a bad quarter, a bad series or a bad half with college kids.
- [25:46]
John Middelkoff
I also think for Ohio State, they've had back to back years where they've lost a ton of guys to the draft. And last year the defensive guys, Sonny Styles, Arvell Reese and Caleb Downs, like you kind of got to get them now you get them at home. That game, I mean, talk about a, talk about a football game early on in the season. Ohio State, Texas signed me up for that one.
- [26:05]
Colin Cowherd
Yep.
- [26:06]
John Middelkoff
Talk about another game. Sign you up for is the World cup final on Fox, where Lamine Yamal in Spain will take on Lionel Messi. But here's the problem. Yamal entered the World cup coming off a hamstring injury with Barcelona back in April. Ahead of the final, he was seen with a wrap on his left hamstring. The manager has downplayed the injury and said he will play, but it's something to keep an eye on. I mean, this is.
- [26:31]
Colin Cowherd
Well, they have so much depth. That's the good news. And he hasn't. They're not really Yamal dependent. They're not Argentina.
- [26:38]
John Middelkoff
They're like 85 bears of soccer.
- [26:40]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, they've just got dudes, you know, but it's something. I mean, he'll play. I can't imagine an 18 year. And also, young people heal faster generally.
- [26:49]
John Middelkoff
Have you seen the picture? When he was a baby with Messi, I thought it was AI. Everyone told me it's real.
- [26:56]
Colin Cowherd
I mean, that's.
- [26:57]
John Middelkoff
And now he's the superstar, young superstar for Barcelona. Messi was obviously star for Barcelona. That's an incredible photo.

Dr. Laurie Santos
Here at the Happiness Lab, we're serving up some hot takes for the summer. Big ideas that just might reshape how you think about your well being. Like we've been thinking about the loneliness epidemic all wrong.
- [27:40]
Tareka Foster Brasby
You can be lonely in a marriage. You can be lonely at a party. I don't think loneliness is actually about solitude.
- [27:46]
Colin Cowherd
Loneliness is about something much bigger.

Dr. Laurie Santos
Or that we should get rid of small talk altogether.

a living, but not do you love

Colin Cowherd
what you do for a living?

Mangish Shetigulur
Is this your dream job?
- [27:58]
Dr. Laurie Santos
Or that the mental health crisis isn't what we think it is and that kids today are doing better than we assume. It was really disorienting for us as researchers to be so wrong about our hypothesis. We are so scared that we are going to underreact to a severe challenge that we tend to overreact.
- [28:15]
Colin Cowherd
React.

Tareka Foster Brasby
I'm your girl, Cheryl Swoops. When you tune in to a new episode of our podcast, Levels to this, you're definitely gonna get some by Cwmba analysis. I see a lot of men who get into the space because now it's a hot product and that grinds my gears to dust. But then the conversation goes on and levels up beyond basketball. It's been really, really cool seeing kind of these women just really step into their power off the court and understand that they are basketball right? And they're not asking for permission because on Levels to this, the game is always the starting point. But we're more than just hoops and the real conversation is what we actually bring. This is Levels to this, the podcast about all the levels of stuff that women go through. Listen to Levels to this with Sheryl Swoopes and Tareka Foster brasby on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

I'm Mangish Shetigulur and I'm back with a new season of the podcast Skyline Drive. This time I'm diving into a rabbit hole of peptides, organoids, blood boys, blue zones, and brain replacement to try to understand what this longevity obsession is all about and what it really means to live forever for all of us. I learned about some rad science.

acceleration and get myself into a world of trouble.
- [30:19]
Colin Cowherd
I'd say probably start bone smashing.
- [30:21]
Tareka Foster Brasby
That doesn't work to make you look more defined.

They say it works. I don't know.

Theo Henderson
Mainstream media is full of crude depictions of the unhoused stories that shame and blame and paint the unhoused as a monolith. We the Unhoused is the podcast that's changing that. I'm Theo Henderson, creator and host of the and for years I've created a space where the unhoused and their advocates can tell their own stories. In the last few months alone, I've interviewed unhoused parents, immigrants, mutual aid organizers, veterans, the LGBQTIA community, and the policymakers who make the laws that impact the unhoused existence. We Unhouse is a two Time Webby and Signal award winning show with many exciting guests on the horizon. Tune in this week for my interview with Dr. Jill Wicheric, a street doctor turned influencer whose work with the unhoused community has made a huge impact online and in her community. Listen to we the Unhoused on the iHeartRadio app, Apple podcast or wherever you get your podcast.

Colin Cowherd
Well, I gotta say, the last four to five weeks, in all the years I've been doing this, radio or TV or whatever, it's been the most fun I've had. Soccer is something because 70 to 75% of, as you guys all know of this business, what we do here is National Football League and things connected to it. College football, the draft, free agency, it's just a big part. If I was a sports talk show in London, the English Premier League is 75% of the discussion. If I was a sports talk show host in Montreal, the NHL, 75% of discussion. That drives our bus. So, I mean, that's just our reality of how you drive the numbers. But in the off season, I would rather, I never wanted to work at the NFL Network. I would rather talk about other stuff. Years ago, the WNBA and Caitlin Clark became a huge story. And I'd said over and over on the end, it was so much fun. It was like, oh, there's new stuff to, you know, study and watch and follow and create content. It was just really, really unique. And we'd never talked wnba, but Caitlin Clark, just her style and all the, you know, animosity, it was like, it was good content. Well, I mean, for the last four or five weeks, this has been as much fun as you can have doing what I do, talking and observing and watching and dissecting sports. The World cup has been just absolutely fantastic, a learning experience for anybody curious about the game, that even as a casual, I think it's been overwhelmingly successful and tip of the cap to the teammates I have at Fox and the remarkable job they have done. So I thought today on a Friday, as we get ready for Spain and Argentina, that is Sunday on Fox, we would give you the 10 greatest goals we have seen up to this point. Number 10, like that change here. That's a lovely piece of skill.
- [33:47]
Sports Commentator (possibly a co-host or analyst)
What about the hit? Oh, it's a cracker, A blockbuster for Bosnia. Talk about Teenage kicks. What a moment for the 18 year old number nine.
- [34:04]
Colin Cowherd
Well defended that time.
- [34:05]
Sports Commentator (possibly a co-host or analyst)
They have two players.
- [34:06]
Colin Cowherd
Duvern wanted.
- [34:08]
Sports Commentator (possibly a co-host or analyst)
Quick shot taken. What a goal. He's the nerd. One of the best goals that we've seen all tournament. And my goodness, just gets all of it to that top corner. What a fantastic strike.
- [34:22]
Colin Cowherd
Number eight. If there's anyone on the field that
- [34:25]
Sports Commentator (possibly a co-host or analyst)
can float it in to that top corner, it's that man Tillman. Dad. Malik Tillman. Two nil, United States. Tillman delivers for the United States. Make the keeper work and boy, does he. Intense focus. Lines up for power and just bangs it.
- [34:51]
Colin Cowherd
Number seven, Harry Kane.
- [34:55]
Sports Commentator (possibly a co-host or analyst)
Still Harry Kane. Oh my word. Majestic Harry Kane. Unbelievable. England League Two 1. Arise Sir Harry. He's just done the business for England big time.
- [35:09]
Colin Cowherd
Who else? King Harry. Number six. Shelter Up's been brilliant since he came on Holland. He wants another one.
- [35:17]
Sports Commentator (possibly a co-host or analyst)
He's got another one. How about that? Extraordinary. Just phenomenal.
- [35:24]
Colin Cowherd
He can't help it, can he? He just can't help scoring.
- [35:28]
Sports Commentator (possibly a co-host or analyst)
Another massive moment for that man. Norway surely going through now.
- [35:34]
Colin Cowherd
Number five
- [35:37]
John Middelkoff
right up the gut.
- [35:37]
Colin Cowherd
What a ball that is.
- [35:38]
Sports Commentator (possibly a co-host or analyst)
Messi on the turn. Options either side lit up. Messi, there's your goal. There's more history. There's the magic man again by Messi there running at your back line. Good luck. Cuts onto the left foot and he picks out that top corner. And now Messi's on the board.
- [35:57]
Colin Cowherd
Number four,
- [36:00]
Sports Commentator (possibly a co-host or analyst)
Shelter up on concert. Shelter up. He'll fire. And it calls it dead. It's in off the post. Andreas Shelter up a bolt of lightning out of the clear Florida sky to give Norway the lead.
- [36:15]
Colin Cowherd
What a strike from Shelder up number three.
- [36:20]
Sports Commentator (possibly a co-host or analyst)
Mario heads it back in due. Able to find Mbappe through traffic. Gillian Mbappe. 20 career World cup goals gives France the lead in the quarterfinal. And Mbappe doesn't need much space. The topspin on the ball, the quick release is what catches Bono and he has no chance getting to that ball.
- [36:43]
Colin Cowherd
Number two, Alvarez.
- [36:49]
Sports Commentator (possibly a co-host or analyst)
Oh, that is a wondrous goal. Argentina do it again, just sensational.
- [36:59]
Colin Cowherd
Julian Alvarez unstoppable to break the hearts of Switzerland. Number one set quickly and trying to catch Argentina napping.
- [37:10]
John Middelkoff
Mallister can't make the play.
- [37:12]
Sports Commentator (possibly a co-host or analyst)
Lopez Cabro. It's incredible. It's remarkable. It's almost unbelievable. It's K? Verde for a second time tonight, tying the game. I love this game, man. I just love it. That's a goal the dreams are made of. Oh my gosh, what a finish.
- [37:36]
Colin Cowherd
The most spectacular goal in this World Cup. Fittingly from Cape Verde. It gave us everything. Cape Verde Messi. Spain's dominance. France is upset. The controversial England loss. America thrilled us, then discouraged us. This thing has just had so much. It's woven all together and it's been a remarkable five weeks. We had so many, so many great guests. I had Moadu on and before I did, I usually talk to the guests for a minute or two before they come on during the break. And I said, I feel like I've taken a midterm, a five week midterm, a crash course in soccer. And you can watch a game. I used to be an MLS season ticket holder at lafc. You can go to occasional games, you can watch it on tv, but it's almost like language. Like if you really want to learn a language and you really, you want to speak French, I mean, the way to really, really go deep is move there. Dua Lupa can do some things for you, right? You can have your phone and you can practice and do 400 hours. I've done that before. But it's, you know, it's to go a mile deep on something, you have to watch it a lot and micro analyze it and get emotional about it. And that's what soccer has done. It's been a crash course for the American consumer. And it does make me want to watch and keep my eye on Cape Verde and Erling Holland, right? It's like, okay, I gotta go deep on Spain. I went to Madrid, I knew they were good. It makes me want to read about Spain and their federation and their culture. And it's just, it's been really remarkable. And the revenue, the ratings, the merch, the ticket sales, America's into it. And I've said before, I don't know where we're at and where we're going to be, but if 10,000 kids in America, in this country of 350 million people, of 10,000 kids choose soccer going forward, they're 8, 9, 10 years old right now. Over baseball, more basketball or football, and 3 to 400 get Division 1 scholarships and maybe 8 eventually are good enough to play somewhere MLS or beyond. Can we get two stars? Can we find our Erling Holland? I don't worry about goal, I don't worry about the back end. I don't worry about athleticism. That's not it. We've always been athletic. I don't worry about athleticism. I don't worry about goalkeeping. We've always been extraordinary. But can we find, can we find another number nine along with Flo Baligan can Pulisic not have to be our vocal leader? Because we find that. So we're well capitalized. There's a lot of people here. It's an incremental sport. You're not going to get great overnight. As we noted multiple times Japan had a hundred year plan. Japan did in 1992. They unveiled a 100 year plan to win the World Cup. This is not the NFL where you get seven rounds of draft picks. If you get the right coach and Ben Johnson or Vrabel and you've got a talented young quarterback, whoa, playoffs is jump over people. It's not the way it works. It's closer to the NBA. You know, you get one great player out of a draft. Congratulations. That's infrequent.
- [40:48]
Mangish Shetigulur
So.
- [40:48]
Colin Cowherd
And now you have Spain favored over Messi and Argentina. Greg Burhalter earlier on, Spain and what just makes that country so great at this beautiful sport? You know, it is a cultural thing. When you look at the Spanish team and you match them up, you know, pound for pound as athletes to all the other teams, they're way below the other teams. But what they have is just an amazing comfort on the ball and understanding of how to play. And that starts at such a young age. You have to imagine everything they're doing on the field is with their feet and think about how difficult that is. So you need to recruit the skills. It's a, it's a hard wiring thing. Just been fantastic. John Middelkoff, appreciate you filling in last couple of days and you know, as a football guy, you've been into the World Cup.
- [41:38]
John Middelkoff
It's been, it's been a cultural moment. It feels like, I think a huge draw has been all these games. You turn it on, it's like, oh, they're playing at Foxborough, they're playing in Kansas City. It feels like I'm watching football in soccer. Right. Because they're playing in all of our football stadiums. It's almost like a kind of like a warm up for week one in about a month and a half.
- [42:02]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah, it's hard to put it in words what it's meant, but it's, it's been good for our company. It's. I think it's been good for the country. And this is usually the slow time of the year for us. It's been anything but and it's been just in, you know, there's this infusion of passion and it has arrived in America and there's about seven different metrics to prove it.
- [42:21]
John Middelkoff
The games at Azteca and Mexico. Those back to back knockout games were felt like I was watching Alabama, LSU at night. It was incredible atmosphere.
- [42:29]
Colin Cowherd
Yeah. If I had to pick, yeah, Mexico. England was about as dramatic as anything we've seen. The meltdown by England was obviously something, but they don't lose much at Azteca and for England to go in there and Bellingham and Kane are both remarkable. Really it set the tone for what was a fantastic World Cup. And it's Spain, it's Argentina. It's Sunday. It's on Fox. Thanks so much everybody for being part of it. Enjoy it Sunday. I will.
