00:00every match wow this is a real i'm trying this is a huge pivot from friday uh so i well
00:05i'm i didn't
00:06watch it in friday and so i have a um a nice tv now i got a new tv and
00:13i have bigger than greg's i
00:14hope yes and i there are a few things that bring you more joy than getting rid of cable saving
00:19money getting a nice tv and then there's this thing watch in 4k you click it i swear i could
00:26tell you alexei lawless's teeth like it is unbelievable and and on friday night watching
00:33the americans kick the ass of the paraguayans and then on saturday watching that unbelievable show
00:43at boston stadium and seeing the i was saying this with ken on saturday one of my best friends
00:51crazy carl he's haitian he came back from san francisco went to the game match and he was
00:58telling me all about how they parked in franklin and walked and all this stuff because the traffic
01:02of course was a disaster and they stumbled upon this barbecue or tailgate with haitian fans and
01:09scottish fans for hours sharing stories playing their music drinking having a blast like how they
01:17just it was like unlike any red sox yankees game he's ever been to that you go here and it
01:22was
01:23you're rooting for your country obviously but it was so um kind and just sort of i don't know it
01:29was
01:29like when they say the beautiful game the game is dull as anything but the the the show yeah pageantry
01:36is beautiful the fans yeah those scottish fans singing their anthem at boston stadium on saturday night
01:44was awesome and then and then the march that they did yesterday to fenway park and the fact that
01:51they took over fenway did they take jaron duran they were and they were singing uh country roads
01:58like the home country roads there was one man in a kilt and a scottish jersey walking down soldier's
02:04field road that was jackson yes yes yes so i would think some of them are like i also saw
02:10a video on
02:11social media uh of this a group of them staying at an airbnb and waking up at 6 30 in
02:16the morning
02:16to play the bagpipes well that's the famous yeah we talked about that where were you here last week
02:20we talked about that on the show oh yeah no i just i saw another video this weekend yeah and
02:24my lead is
02:25a follow-up uh on the the tartan army and on what they are doing for the economy for the
02:31economy i must
02:32be doing in our city i don't even think it's just a tartan army because my my uh tiktok algorithm
02:41now
02:41is just all foreign people in the united states experiencing you know experiencing things for the
02:49first time like uh the japanese fans who are in texas experiencing barbecue for the first time
02:54or australians going to cvs what a goal by japan yesterday oh my god i'm amazed that was the best
03:01game so far the tournament absolutely spectacular uh the people who got to go to a bucky's for the
03:05first time yeah people go to bucky's freddie's a legend now he's getting all of a sudden he's
03:10getting upgraded to the penthouse suite everywhere he's going get that tour of lsu that totan army
03:15those i met a guy that was part of that and he was supposed to they're all a part of
03:19it no no but
03:20he was supposed to introduce me to a dude that walked from california to boston yeah that guy
03:29started in february yeah we were waiting on him and uh i've been trying to get that guy on the
03:33show yeah we were waiting on him i guess the guy knows i'm like but i couldn't understand the word
03:37the guy was saying if a guy walks from california to boston and says he can't make it to your
03:41event
03:42are you kind of a loser like wiki meets wiki meets somebody in the tartan army and he says name
03:48rank
03:48and serial number please uh i could i can't i listen i can barely understand them shine what's what's
03:54your lead well my lead is world cup related not about all the wonderful people that are here
03:58from all over the world um but it is about team usa because they got a massive massive win already
04:03puts them in the driver's seat for the group and now they get to face the other team that already
04:08has a win in their group so they get to play australia coming up on friday at three o'clock
04:13out in seattle australia kind of upset turkey uh this weekend which i thought was massive uh i thought
04:19turkey was going to absolutely kick their butts if the americans win they're definitely out of this
04:22group stage right yes 100 they win this game i think even with a draw curtis they guarantee
04:27themselves at least getting out of group stage but with a win they guarantee they probably win
04:31their group uh and make them the one seed coming out of that group now i just think that this
04:37the
04:37momentum you had from game one the way the uh the audience was everybody was into that game uh i
04:43think
04:43even the announcers were kind of stunned how well the u.s played in the first half of that game
04:48as long
04:48as christian pulisic is healthy why don't we know what's going on with him why what's going on i don't
04:53know it's weird because they kept referring to it during the game that he clearly hurt something
04:58but like told the uh told his family in the family section that he was okay he said after the
05:03game
05:03he tweaked something he's being overly precautious but he should be good to go friday early line
05:07uh early line right now is uh usa minus 160 so usa little on the heavier favorite side here not
05:14super heavy but definitely favorite okay shine thank you welcome people say that i am closed-minded and
05:20i'm rigid right yeah like i don't watch soccer i find it to be dull as a door you mocked
05:25me last
05:26week well to be fair that is always sort of timely fair um however it is my job i thought
05:34friday night
05:35watching the americans was spectacular if i was out and about and lived that life i would have been at
05:42the harp with wiggie it looked like a great time and it was awesome and then saturday night
05:47the world converged on our fair area and it was an excellent night that exceeded any possible
05:56expectation from the anthem to the final moment of the game it was close i thought if we're going
06:01to get into the nitty-gritty haiti outplayed scotland dominated the dominated the match but the
06:07scottish won and it was awesome it was just it's been spectacular i i don't know what to tell you
06:13it's
06:13such to me this is why i always like the olympics i don't care about swimming but when michael phelps
06:19is going for his 12th gold medal and he's like it i don't know how you can't be interested in
06:23that
06:24also the fans each of the teams every country the fans are so into it that that that opening game
06:32did around the world did 1.2 billion people ratings wise watching it yeah i mean i it's an
06:40um but it's more than the super bowl yeah razor has the ratings in africa he said it was crazy
06:44it's nuts it's the world the world cup i listen i am not i have not been uh i enjoy
06:50soccer i got into
06:52it honestly because julia played it so much and i you know went to as many almost all of her
06:58games
06:58uh all the way up till st lawrence university but uh but it's it's for me it's everything around it
07:05and and i'm telling you this the scottish fans the tartan army they have won my heart i i love
07:12these people i we've got to spend some time with them this week we've got to get some of the
07:15tartan
07:16army even if we have to provide a bus or something we need to get them to bernie's on friday
07:20that's
07:21my mission you know what's my goal okay you know i think i might be able to do something about
07:24that
07:24okay so my buddy in south he has 10 people at his house all from scotland he's scottish they went
07:29to
07:29the match on uh whatever the night was saturday night maybe we get them to bernie's let's get them
07:33let's get them up to the front porch so they can go back and talk about a great uh a
07:38great
07:39sing-along bar when they get back to scott i'm on it leads leads leads today brought to you by
07:44subaru subaru summer is finally here details at subaru of new england.com here here is curtis with
07:50his lead curtis along so of all the things that i love about this weekend that i didn't think i
07:56would
07:56be interested in the the number one absolute like bullet point number one thing that is the most
08:04remarkable and thing i'm most envious of is the palpable unapologetic patriotism exhibited by the
08:13fans of scotland and haiti and anywhere else that we have seen since the tournament began
08:19scotland's been around for a bit i think only embarrassing thing i saw yesterday james and i were
08:24walking to kings and i saw scottish people partaking at the tea party museum not exactly a good look not
08:30a place i would go back to but wait what do you mean well i mean you're coming here yeah
08:35to pour
08:35salty tea into the sea okay or tea into the salty sea i don't think the scottish are as fond
08:41of england
08:42either but it's their continent it's to me it's kind of a diversion i think they're more aligned with
08:47us it's a full you're saying it's a full euro thing curtis yeah just not what i would do but
08:51i think
08:52the scottish are like respect with the way you guys played that well then why don't they leave
08:57why are they still in the commonwealth curtis again i don't know my politics and history
09:01completely but i do believe they were people by me curtis have you seen brave heart i have
09:09okay shyme have you seen it i have seen brave okay good uh so my thing is i watch these
09:16fans
09:17and they cheer a hundred percent with their whole heart for the country they live in and they love
09:23it does not mean they support everything the country has ever done it doesn't mean they support
09:28the politicians in power it doesn't mean anything other than they are proud to be scottish
09:36they have flown across an ocean to support their team and get bombed and i love it i don't know
09:45why
09:46we have this inability to do that here yeah like it's it's it's awesome i am so jealous of like
09:52they don't have two national anthems they don't have like i i just i i watch what they do and
09:59i see
10:00why do we have two oh you're talking about oh and when he said we have two national anthems i
10:05was like
10:05oh we do well we actually have like five but he's talking about um talking about the black national
10:10that's what you're talking about oh i'm talking about god save the queen versus god bless america
10:14i didn't know that one okay the fact is is that i watch this and it's like why can't we
10:21do this
10:21why can't you like we the americans won in uh the the in italy and got the gold medal and
10:29that was
10:30sort of cool but it's a small fraction of what the world cup is like we're more with i think
10:36the
10:36reason is we're way more diverse when it comes to uh ethnicities in america okay versus europe and
10:46other places okay so it's it's cool when all the scottish are in support but when 90 percent and i
10:55don't know i'm just throwing that number out there i don't know what the exact number is but when the
11:00majority of the scottish kind of all look the same i think it's a little bit easier to come together
11:06when you're in america and then there's you know there are people that uh you know grew up in this
11:12country that are black there are people that grew up in this country that are born here that are latino
11:17so i think we're we have way more diversity when it comes to ethnic ethnicities now i couldn't
11:23understand which national anthem were you singing on friday night
11:26you
