00:00So Jason was saying he's watched a bunch of World Cup.
00:02We have the replay of the Norway game on right now,
00:06and it's when Holland scored.
00:07It couldn't have been any easier for him.
00:09The defense, we were talking about it.
00:11They were playing for a tie.
00:13They just sat back.
00:14Oh, they just wanted to get to penalty kicks?
00:16Yeah.
00:18Well, they were just playing a high...
00:21When I was watching the analysts kind of break it down,
00:23they said, look, Ivory Coast,
00:25they just don't have the offensive firepower that Norway does,
00:28so they're going to sit back and hopefully take advantage
00:30of a Norwegian mistake.
00:32Okay.
00:32And before that goal, it's one-to-one.
00:34And by the way, the kid that scored the Ivory Coast goal,
00:37that was an unbelievable move.
00:38Yeah.
00:40But it's like the 85th minute,
00:42and you're Ivory Coast facing Norway
00:45and one of the best players in the world.
00:47They had 10 guys basically in the box,
00:49but somehow they lost track of Holland.
00:51They're packing them in.
00:52They just had basically a tip-in goal,
00:54and they advance.
00:56I think one of the great things about the World Cup,
00:57so far, is the stars are all delivering.
01:00Yeah.
01:01And Bappe's scoring goals left and right.
01:04Holland's scoring.
01:05Obviously, Messi's scored a bunch of goals.
01:07And then the United States being in the mix.
01:10So today, at 8 o'clock,
01:12after you've got a couple games,
01:14England plays Congo at noon,
01:16Belgium plays Senegal at 4,
01:18you've got the United States,
01:208 o'clock, front and center.
01:22Big one.
01:23They're fully loaded.
01:24All their guys, you don't have to worry about their guys
01:26who had the yellow cards.
01:29Pulisic came in in the last game and was electric.
01:32So all expectations,
01:34I don't know how much of a favorite they are,
01:36but all expectations are that they should win this game.
01:40Bosnia has 3 million people in the country.
01:42They're a pretty sizable favorite.
01:44They're apparently a pretty old and slow team.
01:47Ooh, love to hear that.
01:48They have a 40-year-old in the lineup,
01:50but they're really good at corner kicks.
01:52I think they maybe lead the World Cup
01:55in corner kick goals so far.
01:58I'll tell you what else is impressive
01:59is just the energy in these stadiums
02:04and just in the cities.
02:06Fox 5 was doing some sort of a live interview
02:11at some bar in Arlington
02:13where there was a ton of Norwegian fans.
02:16Four courts.
02:17What was it?
02:17Four courts.
02:18Yeah, and there were people from Norway
02:20in this bar watching it.
02:22Sure.
02:22It was pretty cool.
02:24But there's people from all over the world
02:27coming to see this.
02:27Norway's fan base,
02:28they're doing the synchronized Viking row
02:32in the stands.
02:33They're doing it on the subways.
02:35It's pretty cool.
02:36They're doing the escalators
02:38coming out of the subways.
02:39I mean, these fan bases are like
02:41they're taking over the cities
02:43where their teams are playing,
02:44which is a cool thing to see.
02:46I'm just looking at the updated odds.
02:50USA says here they're minus 600 to beat Bosnia.
02:54Pretty big favorite.
02:55That is a sizable favorite.
02:56Yeah.
02:57I'll tell you what.
02:58I think they have a chance to beat almost everybody,
03:01but just don't face France anytime soon.
03:04France is legit.
03:04Well, if they win,
03:05they would draw the winner of Belgium-Senegal
03:08would be their next opponent.
03:10Okay.
03:11So then if they were able to win that,
03:13then they would be in the quarterfinals.
03:15Here's the thing.
03:15They've only won in the history of the United States.
03:18They've only won one knockout game.
03:20So if they get past that hurdle,
03:22if they were able to get past whoever advances Belgium-Senegal,
03:26they would face most likely either Portugal or Spain
03:31because Portugal and Spain seem like they're headed
03:33on a collision course.
03:35Portugal takes on Croatia.
03:36Spain gets Austria.
03:38So I think most pundits are going to say
03:39that it's Portugal-Spain.
03:41That's the chalk.
03:42I could see Portugal losing.
03:44They don't look that great.
03:47They look good in one game.
03:49Against Uzbekistan.
03:51Right.
03:51Did they put a five spot on Uzbekistan?
03:54Yeah.
03:55I think you're right.
03:55Yes.
03:56I think it was five.
03:57Come on.
03:57Can I interest anyone in the Bish Bucks big parlay today?
04:02Yes.
04:02I could potentially be interested.
04:06Because Jason has three teams going today.
04:08All massive underdogs, I believe.
04:11Congo, Senegal, Bosnia.
04:15Yeah.
04:16Somebody put that in.
04:17I don't want to bet against the United States.
04:19I mean, probably if you put it in.
04:20I bet $2 on it.
04:21Let's just see.
04:22If you bet $2, you're probably still going to win $1,000.
04:25No, I'm going to be.
04:26I mean, I've already lost another.
04:27I'm done anyway, even if some of these teams win.
04:32Yeah.
04:32Or a couple.
04:33Maybe one of them wins.
04:35I'm done because Netherlands, I was expecting them to go further.
04:38But all three are probably going to lose.
04:39So I'm probably out.
04:41Officially out tonight.
04:42I think Valdez is sitting pretty.
04:44He's got France.
04:45France looks just so good.
04:46Well, he's also got USA.
04:47He's got USA too.
04:48If USA goes on a run, USA wins a couple more games.
04:52I personally don't think they're going to want a deep run.
04:53I think they can win their next couple of games.
04:55Which is great.
04:56You'll get points.
04:57But I don't know that they're going to be in the semifinals or finals.
05:03Oh, you have Morocco too?
05:04Yeah.
05:05Yeah.
05:05Just give him the prize.
05:08You know what?
05:08Morocco is going to beat Canada.
05:11They should.
05:12They're going to be the favorite.
05:12Yeah.
05:12They're going to beat Canada.
05:14A $5 bet on Congo, Senegal, and Bosnia today without any sort of boost pays out $380.
05:23Yeah.
05:23Well.
05:24I mean, you'd be wasting $5.
05:25But I do love the potential payout.
05:29I would think that out of all of those underdogs, maybe Senegal has the best chance to win.
05:34Yeah.
05:34They're only plus 144.
05:36Yeah.
05:36I've heard some people say England hasn't played great.
05:39Some of these soccer analysts that could see Congo pulling it off.
05:42I mean, we've already seen big upsets.
05:45Teams can take it to extra time and then win on PKs.
05:50England's a huge favorite.
05:51Congo might have the best fan in all the entire World Cup.
05:55The best individual fan?
05:56The best individual fan.
05:57Have you seen this guy for Congo?
06:00He's in a suit and he just stands like a statue through the entire 90 plus minutes throughout
06:06the whole game.
06:06I think I have seen him, yeah.
06:08Lumumba, I believe.
06:09What's his name?
06:09Lumumba?
06:10Yeah.
06:10It's pretty amazing.
06:12The whole fan base is going nuts behind him.
06:14So he doesn't show any emotion?
06:15None.
06:16Even after goals that are scored.
06:18He does a bit similar to the St. Joseph Hawk, who flaps his wings through the whole game,
06:23but his bit is just, he stands.
06:25I think he stands like this.
06:27The entire time.
06:28The entire game.
06:29The entire time.
06:29That's crazy.
06:30For 90 plus minutes, he just stands there like a statue.
06:33Do people try and break him like they do the people at Buckingham Palace?
06:37I don't think so.
06:37I don't think people are trying to make him break character.
06:40Well, he's done it for a while.
06:41I believe it's a tribute to Congo's first prime minister.
06:44Okay.
06:45I don't know.
06:46His name also might be Lumumba.
06:47Yeah.
06:47I don't know.
06:48I don't know the history behind it.
06:49I just know it's kind of a cool thing.
06:50It's some sort of tribute to Congo's history.
06:53Yeah.
06:53Can someone explain to me, as someone who has France in the pool, why all of the announcers
06:59keep saying they're not even playing hard or they're playing in third gear all the time?
07:05What?
07:05I don't know.
07:06They have another gear?
07:07Yeah, I know.
07:07Maybe they just realize that France are succeeding without giving full effort, which is kind of
07:14scary if this is not their full effort.
07:16Like, maybe they haven't unleashed it yet, which would be terrifying for the opponents.
07:21They just look so much faster than everybody they play.
07:23Well, you give Mbappe the ball in the box.
07:26He's just so quick.
07:27Scissors, boom, goal.
07:29Right.
07:32But, Matt, I have no idea why they're saying that.
07:35Because they look like they're just playing great every time they take the field.
07:38They said it multiple times towards the end of the match against Sweden, and then Zoltan
07:44was saying it, or Henry was saying it on the post-game.
07:48Yeah, I guess they would.
07:49Whatever his name is.
07:50Drev's laughing at me.
07:51Zoltan.
07:51Because I'm Zoltan.
07:52I think that's what Tom Hanks went to.
07:55Big?
07:56Yeah, when he went there for big.
07:58Well, those guys would know.
08:00But they just look so much faster and better.
08:02Sorry, Drev, I'm a casual.
08:03Oh, well.
08:05It's okay.
08:06You're with the masses, Valdez.
08:09It's okay.
08:09Would this be like a huge upset if Bosnia beat the U.S. tonight?
08:16Yeah.
08:17It's a pretty big upset.
08:18I mean, didn't you just say the U.S. is plus 600?
08:20I understand that, but I understand based on the odds it would be, but it's not like
08:26the United States has this great record in the World Cup.
08:30No.
08:31I know that they're talented, but I don't know how they match up against some of these
08:35other teams.
08:35I feel like anything can happen in the round of 32.
08:38No doubt.
08:39Yeah.
08:39Anything can definitely happen.
08:41I mean, you saw Germany lose.
08:42And the pressure increases, especially for a home team.
08:45Let's say it's 0-0 after the half.
08:50All of a sudden, the pressure's on the United States.
08:53And again, we've seen it.
08:55These teams that are dogs, when it's a close game, they just want to get to extra time and
09:01then get to the PKs.
09:04Yeah.
09:04I mean, I don't know why they'd want to get to PKs.
09:09PKs are so dicey.
09:10They are dicey.
09:11What were you going to say, Matt?
09:12Well, the dogs are going to get to PKs because it's kind of, it's almost like a 50-50.
09:17It's a gimmick.
09:18Yeah.
09:18It turns into a skills competition.
09:21You can kind of luck box your way into it.
09:23I mean, that's how you get through a superior opponent is you turn it into a free throw contest.
09:29But I think it would be a...
09:31But the pressure just ramps up in the PKs.
09:32I know, but the pressure's equal for both sides.
09:36It's actually probably less pressure for the huge underdog.
09:40Yeah, I hope it doesn't go to PKs tonight.
09:41But it would be a disappointment, I think, because this year the World Cup is so diluted
09:47is that you're playing these inferior opponents in this knockout state.
09:53And it's here.
09:53As opposed to it being in previous years when all of a sudden you're playing the cream of the crops
09:58still.
09:59And they're playing here.
10:00I'm sure you guys saw the report that I think at least four German players didn't want to participate in
10:05the shootout
10:05because they were too scurred.
10:07Oh, I didn't see that.
10:08Yeah.
10:09They were begging off participating in the shootout.
10:13But were any of those the guys who missed the kicks?
10:17It sounded like the guy who sailed the kick.
10:20He was one of them?
10:20No, he had to kind of step in because some other guys didn't want to kick.
10:24They didn't want to do it.
10:24Wow.
10:25He's the guy who had the header that should have stood up as the game-winning goal.
10:29I mean, that should have been a goal.
10:30That was just an outrage that that was not a goal.
10:33So double dagger for him.
10:34He's going to have to think about, for probably the rest of his life,
10:37him sailing a penalty kick over to lose a World Cup game.
10:43And then he's going to have to think about the goal that he had that they took away.
10:46All the bars tonight are going to be jammed.
10:49Oh, it's going to be madness.
10:50Mike Marr will be at MGM playing in the kicks class.
10:53I'll be at Hyde again.
10:55Oh, you're going to Hyde tonight?
10:55Yeah, I'm running it back.
10:57Third time.
10:58Tonight might be George Washington outfit time.
11:00I mean, we're so close.
11:01He's saving it for the fourth.
11:03He can't break it out.
11:05He can break it out.
11:06I think he should.
11:07I mean, all you're doing is celebrating America, giving the boots to Bosnia tonight.
11:11If you're dressed up as George Washington, it's going to go over big and Hyde.
11:15There would be nothing more embarrassing than wearing that out and then having them lose that.
11:20I can't think of a worse proposition of my life.
11:25Well, then you just take it off before you leave.
11:27No, but I'm addicted to the watch parties.
11:30They're fun.
11:30Yeah.
11:31It looks like a great time.
11:33Everyone's all patriotic.
11:35I mean, everyone also, you know what I love about it, too?
11:37Everyone knows nothing about soccer.
11:39Nothing.
11:39Couldn't know less.
11:41Everyone's just sized to be American.
11:43Everybody's patriotic.
11:44Showing the red, white, and blue.
11:46Arlington's going to be jamming.
11:48The sportsbook at MGM is going to be popping.
11:50That'll be jamming tonight.
11:51It's going to be wild tonight.
11:53Oh, that's right.
11:53You're watching from the poker room.
11:55We'll be at the poker room.
11:55Well, I mean, it depends.
11:57We can be knocked out.
11:58We're in the knockout stage, Mike Barr, for the Kings Classic.
12:01We can get knocked out and go watch the USA take care of Bosnia if things don't go well
12:06in the card room.
12:07You never know.
12:07We should go in on a couple bets together.
12:09Before dinner starts, make some USA against Bosnia bets.
12:12We can do that.
12:13Get a couple tickets.
12:13Yeah, we can huddle and make our bets.
12:16Coming up next, LeBron James tells the Lakers,
12:20I don't want to be in LA anymore.
12:22Could he come to DC?
12:23Let's see.
12:23.
12:24.
