00:00I want to go back to the USA losing to Mexico over the weekend in the Gold Cup final.

00:08Really good game.

00:09They lose 2-1.

00:10Your thoughts coming off of that?

00:12And then bleed it into this Chelsea game today with Fluminense at Snoopy here in New York.

00:19Tomorrow's the big one, though.

00:20I talked about this Chelsea game already, and no one was excited at all about it except the sellout crowd.

00:25But tomorrow, PSG and Real Madrid, as juicy as it gets.

00:31It's hard to imagine a bigger club game.

00:34I think the only thing that could have made this Final Four better was if Liverpool happened to be the team that got the necessary points.

00:43I still don't understand how Chelsea got here.

00:47Liverpool has been the second-best team in England over the course of the last half-decade easily.

00:53Chelsea did win the Champions League.

00:54That was all the way back in 2021.

00:56It still doesn't make any sense how the math worked out on that.

01:00It's why math can be tricky when you add it to sports, Scott.

01:05Liverpool should have been here.

01:08So the only thing that could have made this Final Four better would be that.

01:11Because having Fluminense in there, it may not be a big brand,

01:15but it's really cool to have South America represented in this.

01:18And then the heavyweight showdown on Wednesday between Real Madrid, the team with the most Champions League titles of anyone,

01:28and then Paris Saint-Germain, the one that has it now.

01:32That's an awesome showdown.

01:34And there are some players that have crossed paths between the two teams.

01:39They're two of the biggest brands in Europe.

01:41It's going to be phenomenal.

01:43Not to bum out everyone on the show, but I know people are talking about it, including my wife,

01:51stunned at the death of that Diego guy on Liverpool who crashed his car with his brother,

01:59his little brother in the car.

02:01And he was a star player, no, that just had gotten married three weeks prior and has three kids,

02:11three little baby kids, I guess.

02:14I don't know the story that much about it.

02:18I just know that it happened.

02:20What is the fallout from that?

02:22He was a star player on that Liverpool team, no?

02:25He was an excellent player.

02:26I mean, not a superstar for them, but an excellent player and one of Portugal's primary players on their team

02:34that would have been coming.

02:36They will be coming, but he would have been coming to the United States next summer with their World Cup team.

02:45They had just won the UEFA Nations League, not the biggest tournament in Europe,

02:50but one that was really emotional for them because it required beating their arch rival Spain.

02:54So he's coming off all this glory, Liverpool winning the Premier League and then the Nations League title,

03:01getting married, all so much to celebrate and to live for, and then that horrific accident in Spain.

03:08Just one of the sad stories, similar to what happened a year ago in some ways,

03:13at least in terms of outcome, with what happened with Johnny Hockey a year ago.

03:18Just heartbreaking when you see such a young person with so much to live for lose their lives.
