00:00Oh, because if we take a look at the Cal sheet markets today,
00:02excuse me, the 2026 Men's World Cup winner, you can bet on that.
00:07And Spain right now has an 18% chance to win the World Cup.
00:11So if we put $100 down on that, Joe, it pays back $5.56.
00:15But as Joe just pointed out, this is like we don't know who's playing who.
00:19Spain could have the easiest run, and you say, I bet it now.
00:23Whoa, I got lucky.
00:24Or, Joe, what?
00:26I have Spain.
00:26I don't even know if they're going to make it out of their group
00:28because of how tough it is here.
00:30It's hard to bet on this before we actually see the draw,
00:33but that's the fun of it.
00:34You could catch lightning in a bottle,
00:36or you could be like yesterday in that Detroit Lions game.
00:39Hey, man, love my guy Kennedy at wideout.
00:41Oh, no, Amon Ross St. Brown comes back.
00:43Dude doesn't even get a catch where he probably would have four or five
00:46if Amon Ross St. Brown.
00:48How do you play this out, Joe?
00:49Viable to bet it now?
00:50And also, just looking at the teams without who they play, who do you like?
00:54Well, you know, Donnie, I mean, we're talking about 48 countries
00:59going to be split into 12 groups of four for the group stages.
01:04So, you're right.
01:05I mean, it makes it difficult, but you can always, you know, look back.
01:09History tells us a lot with the World Cup, right?
01:12There are always going to be those blue bloods, much like March Madness, right, Donnie?
01:17There's always going to be those four or five teams that you're going, yeah,
01:22they are likely going to be there.
01:25And there's a reason why teams like Spain and a few others are going to be sitting
01:31at the top of the odds board right now.
01:33Been there, done that, experience.
01:35I don't think you can go wrong, Donnie, even before we know exactly
01:40what the group stage is going to look like in backing those teams.
01:44Soccer is the world's game.
01:45We understand that.
01:46It's just not the United States' game.
01:48But, Joe, you know me.
01:49I am a conspiracy theorist.
01:51Is it advantageous to give the U.S. team an advantageous draw here
01:57and not put them in a tough one?
01:59Because the longer the United States team comes in, the more revenue,
02:03the more ads come in, the more eyeballs stay on this thing.
02:06Could we be buying into this?
02:07Because the U.S. listed right now at 4%, Joe, $100 wager pays $2,500.
02:12Can you imagine the U.S. team, the national team, winning the World Cup?
02:17Yeah, no.
02:18No, I can't.
02:19Not even remotely close there, Donnie.
02:23But would it shock me if France or Spain or England or even Brazil
02:28is there at MetLife for the championship?
02:33No, it would not in any way, shape, or form.
02:37But, listen, I do think everything in stages, right?
02:40Team USA has come a long way, Donnie.
02:42A lot of controversy over the years.
02:46Well, a lot of people think this could be the best group that we have had in decades.
02:50So I would be pleasantly shocked, Donnie, to say the least,
02:54if they end up having a really great showing.
02:56Bye-bye.
02:57Bye-bye.
02:57Bye-bye.
02:57Bye-bye.
