00:00also Canada versus Bosnia gets all the action started yeah it does obviously host nation
00:08Canada is kicking it off Toronto will be the place against Bosnia and you know unlike Canada
00:15Bosnia had to actually qualify for the tournament and they had to do it the hard way too so they
00:21had to go to knockout rounds and boy they just kept clawing their way but they've made it
00:28and believe it or not everybody that I have talked to here Canada is a team on the rise this
00:34national
00:34team and host nations usually fare very well early on in the World Cup I have a bunch of soccer
00:41guys
00:42that I know and they love the value Canada brings to the table not just in this game at a
00:47great price
00:48but the fact that Group B which is what they are in they love to win Group B they like
00:54them to make
00:54some noise in this World Cup simply because they feel they're one of the more underpriced teams I
01:00tend to agree with them Bosnia's best player is 40 years old Craig I can't imagine either of us
01:06leading a team to victory on the pitch in the World Cup so I think Canada's got some value here
01:14also Team USA plays Joe and this is going to be you know real the real test I think ratings
01:19wise to
01:20see how the World Cup does as you mentioned a lot of different changes to it but you would imagine
01:24here in the United States it all gets started when they take on Paraguay tonight the game is in Los
01:29Angeles it's 9 p.m. Eastern Team USA of course is plus 105 and for me this is just so
01:36important it's
01:37rare because the World Cup is so long Joe but if you want to have faith that Team USA is
01:42going to have
01:42a good run they got to get off to a good start tonight like like so many years we've been
01:47doing these
01:47Joe and you've been doing these shows we've been talking about soccer here in the U.S. we've been
01:51talking about Team USA this is the year this is the year this is the year and it's never the
01:55year
01:55I'm not saying that this has to be the one but an important first showing to give some confidence to
02:00everybody's important yeah and interesting I mean a recent injury too to one of Paraguay's
02:07best guys to the guy that kind of sets everything up for them wasn't good was stretched off in the
02:15last
02:15game there against Nicaragua I think in the in the friendlies was stretched off so they're going to
02:21be down a pretty important player here but you know the host nation is always going to get love here
02:27certainly in the marketplace right there is some I cautious optimism in the market about the U.S. I mean
02:35look at the price it's not like they're overwhelming favorites here this is one of those games Greg where
02:41yeah sure on the money line the U.S. to win I think both teams to score is also a
02:47pretty good market
02:48because I do think goals are coming I don't expect that this is going to be one of these
02:53you know nil nil or we'll have to move on from there maybe one nothing I think both teams
02:58are going to score but I think the U.S. has also got some value here at this price heading
03:04into it
03:04you
03:05you
