00:00What we just finished, actually, let me go back.
00:02What we just finished was the England and Croatia match.
00:05Finishing with a scoreline of 4-2.
00:08That's six goals, ladies and gentlemen.
00:09These are two teams that met last time in the World Cup in 2018
00:13in a very, very fiery quarterfinal match.
00:17Croatia came out on top 1-0.
00:20So coming into this, coming into this,
00:22there was a lot of expectations for both sides, for both teams.
00:26Both teams wanted to win.
00:27And above all, this is an opening match for both of them.
00:31England taken over.
00:32At first, it was close.
00:34At first, anything could have happened.
00:36It could have gone either way, this or that.
00:38But in the end, it was, in fact, Croatia that fell behind.
00:45England just went on the attack.
00:47And I gotta say, it was those hydration breaks.
00:49We've been hearing a lot about the hydration breaks lately.
00:51The hydration breaks did Croatia in
00:53because that is what ultimately led to the momentum switching
00:57and England absolutely taking it home.
01:00Okay, I just wanted to talk about that
01:01because that is the game that literally just ended moments ago.
01:04So England taking the three points.
01:06Croatia left with absolutely nothing.
01:08However, however, there's been other matches today
01:12that are going to happen, I should say.
01:14Let's look forward to Uzbekistan and Colombia.
01:16That's gonna be an interesting one.
01:18Colombia, ladies and gentlemen,
01:19coming into this as one of the favorites in the Americas.
01:23Definitely one of the stronger teams in South America.
01:25Definitely in North America as well.
01:27And then we got debutantes Uzbekistan.
01:30A team that has never qualified for a World Cup before
01:34and will now be on the world stage.
01:36So it's all eyes on Uzbekistan who are coached,
01:39by the way, by none other than Mr. Cannavato himself.
01:43The Italian World Cup winner.
01:45The man who was a genius in the back.
01:47So this is gonna be a really defensive team
01:48against a very, very dangerous Colombia
01:51with Luis Diaz in the front who plays on Bayern Munich.
01:55All right, so that's one of the matches
01:56that we got coming up in the next few hours.
01:58Panama, Ghana.
02:00Earlier, Marcelino was saying that Ghana's not gonna ganar.
02:04Panama's gonna take it.
02:05We're gonna have to see what happens there.
02:07I wanna talk about this match right here.
02:10Portugal and the Democratic Republic of Congo.
02:14Look at that score line.
02:15One to one.
02:17I don't think people expected this one.
02:19I don't, I just, I don't think they did.
02:21We had a lot of people saying Portugal's in it.
02:24They're gonna take this World Cup.
02:26This is their, they're gonna be the dark horse.
02:27Everyone's talking about Argentina.
02:29Everyone's talking about France, Spain, this, that.
02:31But I think it's gonna be Portugal.
02:32Portugal plays their first game against DR Congo.
02:36A team trying to make it a name for itself
02:38in this tournament.
02:39And they tied 1-1.
02:41Cristiano Ronaldo not showing up for the team.
02:44It was João Neves, their star, you could say,
02:47who did score early on, but it just wasn't enough.
02:50Wisa scoring on a set piece.
02:52They left him wide open, stunning the Portuguese
02:54who were unable to come back
02:57and actually come out on top.
02:59So that is it for this group right here.
03:03Portugal is in a group.
03:05Let's see this group.
03:05Group K with Congo, Portugal, and then Colombia,
03:09Uzbekistan, the match that we just saw.
03:10We're gonna get some more points coming in there
03:11in the next few hours.
03:13But for now, a lot of surprises coming out
03:15of this World Cup, I will say.
03:16Some matches coming out in a way that, you know,
03:19we assumed they would.
03:21And others really taking us by surprise.
03:23Let's go up here.
03:24Another one.
03:25Just happened yesterday.
03:27Argentina and Algeria.
03:29There we go.
03:30Same kind of thing.
03:32Argentina came in early on.
03:36At first, we thought, hey, Algeria's gonna take this
03:38because they had a goal that was disallowed.
03:40It was offsides and kind of surprised everybody.
03:42But no, Argentina ended up coming in,
03:45powering through, took the three points.
03:49Guess who scored those three goals, by the way?
03:50Not surprisingly.
03:52You already know who I'm talking.
03:53I don't even have to say.
03:55Mr. Messi himself.
03:56Fine, I'll say it.
03:56There you go.
03:57All right.
03:58So there we are with that.
04:00This is the final game I wanna talk to
04:02before we bring our guest, Angela, in here.
04:04And this is Iraq, Norway.
04:05This was a fascinating game to watch.
04:07I was, actually, I had to go to the Apple store.
04:10I had to return something.
04:11I was, like, at the shopping mall
04:13and there was this giant screen.
04:14They were playing the game.
04:15And I was like, okay, let me just chill out
04:17and let me watch this game real quick
04:19before I return these Apple headphones
04:21that I need to return at the Apple store here.
04:23That's what I love about this World Cup, by the way.
04:24Everywhere you're going in the city,
04:25you're seeing watch parties.
04:27You're seeing people out in the streets.
04:28The vibes are next level.
04:30I'm loving it.
04:31And that's literally what happened in this point.
04:32I was going to the Apple store.
04:33I ended up sitting and watching Iraq
04:36get absolutely obliterated by Norway.
04:38Erling Haaland taking these Iraqis by storm.
04:44They didn't know what hit them.
04:45That man is a goal-scoring machine, ladies and gentlemen.
04:47He's absolutely unstoppable
04:49and he's showing that this is his World Cup to shine.
04:52They did not qualify in previous World Cups.
04:54This is a guy who's been on top
04:56but never had the chance to represent his country
04:58in a World Cup because they just couldn't qualify.
05:00But now they did and they showed up against Iraq,
05:04a team that I think a lot of people were rooting for.
05:07You always want to see the underdogs do quite well.
05:09But hey, hey, we're early on in this.
05:13This is just starting, ladies and gentlemen.
05:15Let me take a look at this.
05:18This is like, I would say, perhaps the group of death.
05:21Let me, so you guys can see here.
05:23Let's go down to their group.
05:25Where's their group?
05:26Ivory Coast, Ecuador, Curaçao.
05:30Should be the next one.
05:31There's like 600 teams in this World Cup.
05:33That's why I can't find it.
05:34All right.
05:36Norway and France, Senegal and Iraq.
05:38So if you're Iraq, you're not in a good place.
05:40You're not in a good group.
05:41You're in the group of death.
05:42So let's hope that they can do a little bit better against a Senegal.
