00:00All right, here is a World Cup bracket from someone who will openly admit he has no clue what he's
00:05doing.
00:05So, let's go into Group A.
00:10I thought this would be easier.
00:12And there are people screaming.
00:13It actually is easier.
00:16Yeah, we'll go Mexico.
00:18Yeah, Mexico finishing first.
00:22Korea second.
00:23South Africa third.
00:25And Czechia fourth.
00:25I feel okay about that.
00:26I'm probably incredibly wrong.
00:28But that's what we're going with.
00:30Group two.
00:31I think we can understand there's a bias here.
00:35So, we will go.
00:36This is the one group I've actually heard stuff about.
00:38We'll go Canada one.
00:40Switzerland two.
00:42Bosnia three.
00:43And Qatar four.
00:45So, in this group, Group C.
00:48I mean, Brazil, yes.
00:49Now, I do have Scottish background.
00:51And so, I have come to understand that maybe not necessarily the powerhouse.
00:56So, let's go with Morocco.
00:58We'll go Scotland and Haiti.
01:00Group D.
01:03Now, again, from what I have gathered, not supposed to be the best tournament for our fine neighbors to the
01:10south.
01:10So, we will go...
01:13Let's go Australia one.
01:16We'll go the States two.
01:18Turkey three.
01:19And Paraguay four.
01:21Group E.
01:22Germany.
01:23Also, you can...
01:24Klein, last name.
01:25So, when it comes to this event, this is definitely where more of the background comes out a little bit
01:31more.
01:32We will go with Germany one.
01:36Yeah, we'll just go in order that they have it here.
01:38Ecuador two.
01:39So, Ivory Coast three in CuraΓ§ao.
01:42Smallest nation ever in the World Cup.
01:43That one I knew.
01:44We'll put them in at number four in Group E.
01:47Group F.
01:49Matt, been hearing a lot about how good this Netherlands team is.
01:53So, we'll go with them one.
01:55I have a soft spot for Japan.
01:57I don't know.
01:57Can you guys see?
01:57Oh, yeah, you can.
01:58In the background there.
01:59Got the sumo wrestler there.
02:00So, we'll go...
02:01I don't know if this is an upset or not.
02:02Feels like it might be.
02:03We'll go Japan two.
02:06Sweden three.
02:07And then Tunisia in the four.
02:10Group G.
02:10God, there's a lot of groups.
02:11Group G.
02:14Belgium, Iran, Egypt, and New Zealand.
02:19Okay.
02:19Okay.
02:20Yeah.
02:20Belgium.
02:21I feel like I'm just going in order of all of these now.
02:23We'll go Egypt just to break it up a little bit.
02:26I mean, Iran's going to be dealing with some shit during this.
02:29So, maybe not.
02:30But there.
02:31That's my Group G.
02:32Group H.
02:33Again, I understand that Spain quite good at this whole soccering thing.
02:38Uh, we'll go the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the two.
02:45Uruguay three.
02:46And I didn't even know who that was.
02:47Cabo Verde at four.
02:49Group I.
02:51Again, France generally pretty good at this thing.
02:54I think Norway is as well, usually.
02:57And then we'll go Senegal and Iraq.
03:01Group J.
03:02You know, I feel like they put these in order where it might be how people might think they go.
03:07So, uh, but again, I can only imagine people just screaming at their screens watching me do this.
03:14Uh, so we will go Argentina.
03:17Yeah, we'll go Australia here.
03:19And then, again, just to mix it up a little bit in that group, we'll go Jordan and Algeria.
03:25Group K.
03:28Yeah, I think we have to go Portugal.
03:30Uh, we will go Colombia.
03:34Uh, Uzbekistan didn't do great against Canada in that friendly, which is all of the research I have done here.
03:39Uh, so we'll put them at, uh, four.
03:42And the Congo at three.
03:44And then in this group, England one.
03:48Uh, yeah, we'll go Croatia two.
03:52And then, again, mixing it up.
03:54Ghana and Panama.
03:55So, now I have to pick the best third place teams.
04:02Okay.
04:03Let me.
04:04There we go.
04:05Uh, so, all right.
04:06I don't know why it's scrolling down to the bottom.
04:08Best third place teams.
04:09I get to pick eight of them.
04:11Oh, and they're in world ranking.
04:13Thank you, FIFA bracket.
04:16Uh, all right.
04:17Well, just for the story.
04:18Obviously them.
04:20Yep.
04:23Like, I feel like these first ones should be pretty easy.
04:25Like, there's four.
04:26We'll go five.
04:28You know what?
04:29Let's, uh, let's do that.
04:31We had an interview with our boy, Kenan, from, uh, Captain Sports Bar, about Bosnia.
04:36And so, I got a soft spot.
04:38So, we'll go with the Bosnian side there.
04:39How many do I got now?
04:40Oh, we got seven out of the eight.
04:42Uh, and then, sorry, Ivory Coast.
04:45Uh, but I'll go back with, uh, back with the roots with Scotland.
04:49Uh, so, there we go.
04:51Now, let's pick the knockouts.
04:53So, oh, it's my, it is the, oh, can I move that?
04:57Whoops.
04:58All right.
04:58Just a sec.
04:59Hold on.
05:00Hold on.
05:01Let's move that over so you can see.
05:02The Peter Klein Bowl.
05:04Uh, that is Germany against Scotland.
05:05My two family backgrounds going head to head.
05:08Again, I know how that goes out in Bastion.
05:10Uh, so it'll be Germany getting the dub there.
05:13Uh, we'll say France picks up the win in, uh, Newark and New Jersey.
05:18Out in LA, we'll go, uh, you know what?
05:21I've been hearing a lot about how good Switzerland is.
05:23So, we'll go Switzerland there.
05:25Uh, let's go Netherlands out in Monterey Stadium.
05:28In Toronto, uh, it'll be Croatia getting the dub.
05:33We'll have Spain getting the win.
05:36Oh, sorry.
05:38Spain getting the win in Los Angeles Stadium.
05:41Out in San Francisco.
05:44Uh, I can't go any further.
05:46My Bosnian, Herzegovinean friends.
05:48Uh, Australia gets the, the nod there.
05:52Belgium in that spot.
05:54Brazil taking on Japan.
05:56Brazil.
05:57We'll get the, the win there.
05:59Uh, we'll go Norway.
06:00Out in Dallas.
06:01Why not?
06:01Mexico, home field advantage.
06:03Mexico City Stadium.
06:04Come on.
06:05Uh, we'll get England getting the win in the England of the United States.
06:10That being Atlanta, obviously.
06:12Uh, Miami Stadium.
06:13We'll see the Argentinian side move on.
06:15The Americans with home field.
06:16They'll get that done.
06:18Canada, BC place.
06:21Be a bit of a soft landing spot for Iran to, to end up in.
06:24Uh, we'll go with Canada getting the victory there.
06:27And, uh, Portugal with the advancement.
06:29Now, into the round of 16.
06:33Germany, France.
06:34That feels like a battle of the titans.
06:36Round of 16.
06:37Uh, we'll go with the German side.
06:38Getting the victory there.
06:39Uh, this will be where my, hey, I've heard Switzerland is good.
06:42Run comes to an end.
06:44We'll have the Netherlands advancing to the quarters.
06:46Croatia against Spain.
06:48Uh, sorry, Sandra Persina, who has been on this show before.
06:51Uh, we'll go with Espanya.
06:53I don't think that's how you say that.
06:55Uh, Belgium against Australia.
06:56Yeah, Belgium.
06:57Yeah, we'll do that.
06:58Brazil taking on Norway.
07:00Uh, this will be one for the Brazilian side.
07:02They'll advance to Miami.
07:03That crowd will be nuts.
07:04I'm assuming.
07:06Mexico against England.
07:08Ugh.
07:09This would be such a, oh my gosh, panic for the English folks.
07:14Mexico City Stadium.
07:16I'm, I'm gonna go England, though.
07:17Getting the, the win there.
07:18Apologies.
07:19Um, I do think this is where the home field advantage comes to an end for the American side.
07:25Argentinia, um, Argentina, sorry.
07:29Uh, with the, um, with the advance.
07:31And then Canada against Portugal.
07:33What the hell?
07:34We're biased here.
07:35We don't know what we're doing.
07:36We're gonna go Canada.
07:37Into the quarterfinals.
07:38Taking that home field advantage from, uh, not BC play.
07:41Or, do we get to call it BC play?
07:43We do!
07:43All right, in BC place in Vancouver.
07:45They're gonna get it done.
07:46Now to the quarterfinals.
07:48Out in Boston again.
07:49Uh, it'll be the German side.
07:50Getting past the Netherlands.
07:52Uh, we will have Spain beating Belarus.
07:57Uh, we will have, ooh.
08:02Again, I don't know if this is actually close or not.
08:05Feels like it maybe would be.
08:07Uh, we'll go with, uh, we'll go with England.
08:09Getting the win over Brazil.
08:10In that spot.
08:11But, and this is where I will bring a halt to my Canadian bias.
08:15And have Argentina with, um, uh, advancing.
08:18So now, into the semifinals.
08:21We have, do I have to go up for that one?
08:23Yeah, there we go.
08:24Uh, we have Germany taking on Spain.
08:27Uh, I will go with Germany in that spot.
08:30And over here, England against Argentina.
08:33We will go with the English squad.
08:35So now, the final.
08:37Back in New York slash New Jersey Stadium.
08:40Because it's definitely in New Jersey.
08:41But you can't say that the World Cup Final is in the same place where Snooki and the situation were
08:48able to become famous.
08:49Uh, so we have, in our World Cup Final.
08:52Moving around all over the place.
08:54Uh, we have Germany.
08:55England.
08:56Um, yeah, why not?
08:58I like Tommy Whelden Jr.
08:59He likes England.
09:01Being from there and all.
09:02Uh, so I'm gonna have England as your 2026 World Cup Champion.
09:08Rejoice.
09:08Or mock.
09:09Either way.
09:10That is my bracket.
09:11Again, I have no idea what I'm doing.
