00:02i i didn't really have this on my bingo card but we're opening with egypt soccer
00:08i mean it's what all of us are reacting to i yeah i'd much rather just get my ass kicked
00:13like the u.s last night than ever lose a game like this this is incredible i just i got
00:19no one
00:21two nothing should have been three nothing you're rolling and you're celebrating and life is great
00:27you're about to knock off argentina and i think they did the worst thing you could ever do in
00:33sports mike you looked up at the scoreboard you start celebrating you start counting the minutes
00:37saying you know what you start thinking about your next opponent and argentina showed we're not punks
00:43and they scored one okay and then they scored another one and at that point you saw the life
00:49go out of egypt that's just my god and then the final goal if you read the they slow it
00:54down you
00:55read the goalie's lips it was oh bleep because he knew it in egyptian yes of course we don't have
01:01the translation for that he he knew the second the ball went off the guy's head it was like and
01:06i got
01:07nothing i mean look there's no like i i like the people like i was listening earlier to cookies and
01:13they were you know reading some text like i i love some of these boners on ticket text what are
01:18you
01:18talking about this for it's like oh because we haven't done a hundred larkin shows or a hundred
01:23scoobal shows it's the world cup you don't like it leave like the whole the whole premise like last
01:29night that game probably did damn near 30 million as far as a viewership it was the biggest thing in
01:34sports yesterday you don't like it leave uh as far as the game goes if you ever wanted to see
01:42a
01:42grown man bleep all over himself on national tv that's what team usa did the team should have been
01:47equipped with diapers i mean it's one thing to lose it's another to basically lose before you
01:54take the field i i mean look they had no confidence they were tentative as all hell
02:01some of the mental errors i mean you're talking basic stuff that i mean we could have a middle
02:05school soccer coach hit you up when it's 2v1 that cross can't go you can't allow that cross
02:12craziness and it just like pulisic this is the biggest problem all right team usa star it was
02:18the equivalent of jameer gibbs fumbling four times in the first half he lost possession 11 times in 44
02:25minutes rico that's that's um like what's what's the worst msu quarterback performance ever or was it
02:32michael taylor for michigan through seven interceptions seven picks kristen pulisic that that that is a
02:37seven interception game you're our best player or one a to balligan like
02:44i'm so bummed out is that i really felt like a from a content standpoint man i was ready to
02:51really
02:51enjoy the lead up to friday but the problem i have is team usa is essentially one of our detroit
02:57teams
02:58this is what they always do they're just good enough to slug you in the sack just one all no
03:06like
03:06equidistant between your balls okay no no right right just bam not your balls i'm talking about
03:14the detroit teams just one team or all the detroit teams sorry
03:25i mean that kind of is detroit sports balls yeah just different stages of balls
03:35sorry i mean some of the teams might be cleaner balls and others are dirtier but
03:41you get the point they're ball they're all balls watching last night was pathetic i'm so disappointed
03:46and for 61 seconds for 61 seconds so david and his third kid you
03:56i'll get a little longer than that you believe 62 david i'm trying just blink stop it
04:04for 61 seconds you thought okay i know you're tied up you got it out your system okay brand new
04:12ball
04:13and it's over even at 2-1 i felt like okay you're in this position of dear god get to
04:20halftime
04:21and when they came out in the second half they made certain tactical changes made certain lineup
04:26changes too which were necessary and they they were taking it i don't want to say taking it to belgium
04:32but they were much better but all night they didn't play anywhere near their capabilities and we talked
04:40about it yesterday as i expected them to play a really high level game and it was going to take
04:44that
04:45to beat a good but not great belgium team look just use this as a juxtaposition okay
04:50egypt is is either 20th or just outside the top 20 in the fifa world ranking argentina's number two
04:58they they took it to argentina for damn near 70 minutes and they played really crisp really hard
05:05i i still i'd rather lose the way the u.s lost last night than this this right here
05:10oh you and i would be urban meyer sitting on one of the pyramids eating sad pizza or whatever the
05:15hell they eat in egypt i would have been big 10 championship game sad golf cart me and rico in
05:20front of the the the pyramids no i'm off this yeah i've always said i'd rather lose in a blowout
05:26because it's over you go through all the stages of grief and by the time the game okay well you
05:32know
05:32next year or whatever it's like you know michigan state alabama that playoff game
05:38you had no shot and you knew it or is it the ohio state michigan state game i'm leaving you
05:44were raising canes with eight minutes left in the first it what started off as a joke ended up
05:49becoming true like yeah why don't we just leave we don't need to see the rest of this budgeting
05:55but yeah to lose it this way the way that did it's just you it's it's very similar to the
06:01lions and
06:01what they did against the commanders you you work your ass off all season long and then you just
06:06decide you're gonna pull your pants down take a squat and redecorate your logo at midfield that
06:11was and look i i i've tried to be infinitely fair because i was i was i was excited about
06:17something
06:17different brobs like i'm like where is the old team this old belgian team did they you know drink
06:24some well they didn't even start lukaku they didn't even start to bring like that that right off
06:29the rip i went wow that's bold but they physically just battered the u.s and the u.s is
06:35more athletic but
06:36you know what the what else the u.s is they're soft i think i'm just i i get frustrated
06:41because
06:42this has been my entire life here and i used to get in arguments with a couple of buddies who
06:46love
06:46soccer and i've got a couple of friends who are from europe and they obviously love soccer and it's
06:51like okay italy didn't make it i wanted to invest in the u.s and really like this was this
06:56was a good
06:57version of team usa you know what the problem is essentially 25 years apart it's the same result
07:03they made they they made the round of 16 in 2002 and it was supposed to be a window into
07:09more
07:09um i don't want to hear anymore about how you sports yeah like this got people into soccer and it's
07:17like
07:17they they were on the brink of maybe doing that but this is no different than what they've done
07:23and in an expanded tournament you didn't win a true knockout game like it was knockout light like
07:32it was it's like anything that gets expanded we water it down in the old school pre-expansion
07:37world cup you're not facing bosnia herzegovina in the knockout stage yeah they've been knocked out
07:42right so now i'm just bummed because i really thought they were going to do it and and we'd we'd
07:49have a showdown friday and i know you have the day off but like i was looking forward to
07:53maybe the u.s legitimizing themselves and instead i mean do we have a drop for it i mean i
07:59i could i've
08:00got several but they're all offensive no i actually thought i was like maybe i'll do the
08:04no baggage trip to la and go watch the world cup i'm kidding people no no no you're not you're
08:10the
08:10king of the impulsive no baggage what's this guy doing on a plane trip but i'm sitting there watching
08:18the game and uh when for the third goal the goal what are you doing where are you going what
08:26are you
08:27doing i either pick the ball up wait kick it you're just standing there he established he is in fact
08:34the dumbest person to ever go to harvard that you've you've established that that freeze was terrible
08:39and he's not look he's not tim howard he's not tony miola from back in the day he's not great
08:45like what you saw too i know i listen italian and from new jersey we had to ride with that
08:51but like the the other problem and and and i you need your stars to play well we talked about
08:57it
08:57balligan look strikers are like wide receivers very rare ones are somehow able to create their own
09:05stuff they require service you have to be fed the ball in order for you to do things like
09:12polisic that that's the guy that's the guy who plays at ac milan that's the guy who plays in
09:17europe that's the guy who i've had to hear about for years and you know what the problem is he's
09:21essentially like a diva wide receiver constantly nicked up hey buddy unless your ankle's broken get
09:27the f up and get in the mix you waited four years for this and you've played like dog ass
09:32yeah i'm just
09:33bummed out that i thought it was on the verge of captivating the audience yes and being fun think about
09:39this if you could have played this in any stadium you were in the right stadium yes seattle's the
09:45perfect place everybody showed up except for the people on the field lots of crowd was there geeks
09:51right you even got your one of your star players reinstated into the game and i do wonder that worked
09:57against him no i i wonder if that became the distraction and then you know what we lost our
10:03focus because that became the big story if i'm belgian i'm probably ticked off they were and you
10:10know what i'm sure the coach used it and guys this is what they think about you know what this
10:15was full
10:16ice cube this is uh this is almost like what was it the oh six sugar bowl colt brennan and
10:22hawaii down
10:23in new orleans taking on georgia and that was the undefeated hawaii team and they're slinging it all
10:29over the yard they showed up and georgia went nope yeah eki maliki laka go to hell home
10:38belgium look belgium again i stand by it i don't think belgium played great i mean each u.s goal
10:45was a self-inflicted error that can't happen on this stage and then you look at freezes moment i'm not
10:51going to be hyperbolic i'm sure somewhere in world cup history there's a more egregious
10:57goaltending gaffe brother i just don't remember it that that is as bad as it gets like the only
11:04thing i saw like john luca palyuca italy's goaltender who was superb he got thrown out of a
11:10game because he illegally touched a ball and it's like you know the rules what are you doing we had
11:14to play shorthanded the rest of the day and we lost he was one of the three best goalies on
11:18planet
11:18earth but that by freeze he may as well have had cartoon pp flying everywhere i mean it was no
11:26pun
11:26intended he had to bring freeze it was he just good i like what he did there david he just
11:31stood
11:32there yeah i'm bummed out by it i'm like kick the ball wait i and then before and yeah it's
11:40like
11:40okay what are we doing what are we doing what are we doing why are you waiting why okay and
11:45it was all
11:45night it was sloppiness they tried to get too cute lots of this one touch stuff and through ball stuff
11:52and it's like guys you're not even connecting five six crisp passes in a row it was bad it felt
11:59like
12:00they lost before they took the field and i i just i'm disappointed there's no yelling like this is the
12:05other thing oh no you're not gonna talk soccer for four years yeah you can't i mean guys like it's
12:10not
12:10a secret it's a niche thing it's like the kentucky derby we do it once a year and then we
12:16don't talk
12:17horse racing i would love to but i there's a racing blitz for later today that would be nice
12:23but now like breakdown mls chicago versus nashfield no i mean if you want to get into the reasons the
12:29u.s isn't more or probably can't be more we can i just think they're pretty well established but i'd
12:36like to hear from people did you watch you know i look i'll tell you this i think rico and
12:40i can hold
12:41hands on this one i'll take the way they played last night because that was a clean and easy break
12:45versus whatever the pharaohs just did over here being up 2-0 in the 68th minute against argentina
12:54and you blow that game three two you don't even get to extras you don't even lose in a shootout
12:58oh hell no anybody will tell you mike you'd rather lose 100 nothing right because please when you lose
13:05at the like that you go and replay every play and every mistake and what if i would have went
13:10left
13:11instead of right yep you're rather the blowout get it over with hop on the bus and go home
13:16say one thing argentina's getting this uh he's getting the notre dame he argentina as a country
13:22is getting the notre dame scheduling to the final i mean you talk you kidding me with two knockout
13:28games you're facing two teams i mean first of all cape verity is outside of the top 60 in the
13:34world
13:34ranking and then you got an egypt team that might be one of the lowest rated teams still in it
13:37and
13:37guess who they're going to face next switzerland or colombia and you barely beat both of those two
13:42teams oh well well i'd love to talk to you about it i'm bummed out by it leave poor jim
13:47alone too
13:48the cost a lot you knew that was i'll listen a man of conviction i love him but you knew
