00:01USA! USA! USA! Let's go! Red, white, and through.
00:10This is not the back page of the New York Post.
00:13This is the front page. Because this is awesome.
00:17Team USA is moving on to the round of 16 at the World Cup.
00:22Last night in Santa Clara, I mean, we had a little bit of everything last night.
00:26As the men secured their second-ever knockout stage win, beating Bosnia 2-0.
00:34Now, I gotta tell you, I was thrilled. I couldn't get enough.
00:39Watching the Tillman goal was an absolute thing of beauty.
00:44I mean, that was gorgeous. That was iconic. That was incredible.
00:49You know, you take a look at Pochicino and everything that the coach has done.
00:53It's been absolutely awesome.
00:55Our guy Flo, incredible. That first goal of the game, doing the LeBron Selly.
01:01That was just awesome.
01:04But the fact that Team USA had to play for such a long period of time,
01:09after Flo Balligan got a red card in the 64th minute, was a travesty.
01:17I mean, my goodness. It was appalling. It was atrocious. It was amateur hour.
01:24And this is one of those, and I go nuts on this in the NFL all the time, right?
01:28When you frame bleep something, it looks worse than what it actually was in moments, okay?
01:37And the fact that this is the first time since 2006, when Zidane, remember that cat?
01:44When he had a goal and a red card in the same game? That's just awful. Absolutely awful.
01:51And the fact that they broke that down in that fashion, and it could have been a yellow card, could
01:56have been nothing.
01:56We've seen these kind of moments, these kind of plays, where nothing's been called.
02:01You think if that was Mbappe? Do you think if that was Messi, they would have given him a red
02:06card?
02:07And now, as a result, he can't play in the next game? Going up against Belgium? Are you kidding me?
02:13That pisses me off. And now the entire conversation has changed.
02:19Because instead of today being sheer celebration, you know, everything that Puchetino did last Thursday, which we love, getting the
02:27team ready,
02:28the nine different cats who put in the starting lineup, the way he handled Christian Pulisic.
02:32By the way, Pulisic looked great last night. It looked like he was shot out of a cannon, and he
02:38was healthy.
02:38But the fact that Flo Balikin gets that red card, I gotta tell you, I don't even understand the other
02:45side of the equation.
02:46I mean, and I want you to think about this, right? And I'm a Knicks fan, and we really hit
02:52this home.
02:54No one ever thought Wemby was gonna get that flagrant foul that was gonna ultimately keep him out of another
03:01game.
03:01No one thought that was gonna happen, because that's not how it works.
03:05It was almost like FIFA was like, oh, Team USA, a little too good.
03:10Why don't we take a look at the video review? I mean, that's insane.
03:15You have to think about the severity of something like that. Like, it better be over the top.
03:20Like, it better be something like, there's no question, there's no ambiguity, this is red card worthy, and that's it.
03:27And let me tell you something. We're still gonna beat Belgium. We're still gonna beat Belgium.
03:33I fully believe it. I want this for Team USA. I want this for Flo. I want this for everyone
03:40involved in this unbelievable program.
03:42If we would've lost last night, World Cup's a failure. Winning last night, going to new heights.
03:48Now it's a success. But there's something special about this team.
03:52The chemistry, the domination, the way they've been able to deal with adversity, Pulisic with the injury.
04:01Now this. And how about the fact? I mean, it's crazy. The 10 is enough. The back page of the
04:07post is terrific.
04:09Terrific. This is a historic win. I can't wait. I mean, Pugetino's done an unbelievable job.
04:15He's had the Midas touch. Everything that he's touched has turned to gold. By the way, reason why I'm going
04:21more casual on the show, I'm inspired by him.
04:23I mean, I don't even know how to describe this look for a coach or a manager, but it's awesome.
04:30I mean, he's inspiring me.
04:32And Belgium? Let me just say this, okay? I'm just gonna flat out say it. Waffles are overrated. I said
04:41it.
04:41And I'm not anti-waffle, okay? I'm not anti-waffle at all. No one in their right minds picks a
04:51waffle.
04:51You don't go into breakfast or brunch. You're not in a nice place, a nice, fancy hotel.
04:58And you say, get me the waffle. No one goes into their greasy spoon diner.
05:03It's nothing like a greasy spoon. It says, I'll take the waffle.
05:06Now, I'm not ribbing the waffle. I've had great waffles. A little crispy.
05:10Put some whipped cream on it. Great. Syrup. Butter. Phenomenal.
05:15No one picks a waffle over an omelet. No one picks a waffle over eggs. No one picks a waffle
05:20over a pancake.
05:22That's not how it works. Pancake, waffle. A waffle? Great. Fine.
05:28It's kind of like Belgium on Monday. Great. Fine.
05:32Even without our guy Flo, we're going to steal your soul and eat your waffles.
