00:00U.S. soccer right now, Scott, is like at an all-time low.

00:04They lost to Panama, and then they lost to Canada.

00:07You have a new manager, as you say, to the World Cup is around the corner.

00:10So far, it was empty, Scott.

00:12It's busier for NFL Super Bowl media day than it was for the USA matches.

00:18There's just apathy.

00:19And you got the World Cup around the corner right now, and there's no, like, enthusiasm

00:24around USA soccer.

00:27Globally, people are buying tickets from Mexico and Canada.

00:30It's jacking up the prices, because the World Cup is in Mexico, United States, and Canada.

00:36And as Scott just stated, a lot of people globally are saying, you know what?

00:40We're going to Mexico.

00:41We're going to Canada for the World Cup games.

00:45There's almost like it's a state of emergency, actually, Scott, like just point blank.

00:49But from Canada's perspective, just quickly, Canada's soccer bro is really, like, climbing

00:54the ranks, Scott.

00:55Like, they're good, good.

00:56Like, you know, they took Argentina to the brink last year in a Copa.

00:59They went to a penalty kicks with Uruguay.

01:02We're talking about world-class teams here.

01:05But they get to this sort of, they get there, Scott, and they don't win.

01:08So a lot of moral victories in Canada with Canada's soccer.

01:11Wow, that's pretty good.

01:12Hey, man, man, we just gave Argentina all they can handle.

01:14But as you like to say, yeah, but you didn't win, right?

01:17You know what I mean?

01:18So there's, like, the moral victories have been building up.

01:21It's like, all right, you know what?

01:22You beat USA, man.

01:23You went to the World Cup last time.

01:27Now it's time to actually get out of the group and have some success, which I think they

01:31will.

01:32But U.S. soccer right now, bro, it's an absolute disaster, Scott, train wreck.

01:37And they just hired a new manager right now.
