00:00So if you're a World Cup fan, you're about to see something that you've never seen before.
00:04It is Chalk City.
00:05Look at this.
00:06The top four teams in the FIFA World Rankings are left for the semifinal.
00:12This has never happened before.
00:15France at one, Argentina two, Spain three, England four.
00:21There is so much going down.
00:23The golden boot race is incredible.
00:26And we've got the top four teams the first time ever.
00:30The semifinal features the top four ranked teams.
00:34One will play three.
00:35Two will play four.
00:37It's almost like it was drawn up like this.
00:39Like this.
00:41You put together a bracket, right?
00:43You never see a bracket go like this.
00:47At least in the World Cup level, you never see the bracket go like this.
00:51Tomorrow, France will battle up against Spain.
00:53And then we get Wednesday with Argentina and England.
00:58The world is going to stop.
01:01It's going to be awesome.
01:02I mean, France tomorrow.
01:04Look, I have bet France at plus 460 to win the World Cup.
01:09I'm sitting on that ticket.
01:10So clearly I'm cheering for France to go win the World Cup, at least to get to the final.
01:14And then I can argue what to do with the hedging opportunity that I would be given with that.
01:19But they're the number one team.
01:21They've been playing at an extremely high level.
01:23And some people, including our own Adam Bjorn from Bet Chris, hasn't been that high in Spain.
01:28He's been like kind of wishy-washy on Spain.
01:30So we'll see how that game goes coming up here for tomorrow.
01:34And then Wednesday, we get Argentina and Messi.
01:37I mean, Argentina, France, insane final.
01:42Spain and England, insane final.
01:45No matter which way you splice it, this is going to be awesome.
01:49By the way, somebody reminded me.
01:52They do.
01:54The consolation game is the weirdest thing the World Cup does.
01:58It is the strangest thing.
01:59I have no idea why they do it.
02:01But they do it like a Little League kids soccer tournament.
02:05Like, why are we doing that?
02:09Why are we doing a consolation game?
02:11Okay, it's the third place game.
02:14Okay.
02:14But we do have, you know, there's more.
02:17There's four games left in the World Cup, not three.
02:19Two semifinal, one final, one consolation game.
02:23We have four games left.
02:24But it's for the money, says Eric.
02:27All right.
02:28Maybe it's that.
02:30But that's, I mean, come on, man.
02:33That's crazy.
02:34What are we doing a consolation game for?
02:36That's just, okay.
02:38You know, do they get, like, orange slices in water at halftime?
02:44Which soccer team, which moms are bringing it?
02:47Like, which ones are required, right?
02:49Oh, it's my team's turn to bring the oranges.
02:52Like, what are we doing?
02:54It's just, I don't understand.
02:56It makes no sense to me.
02:57But fine.
02:58We have four games left, technically.
03:00In all four, I mean, any which way you spin it,
03:02those four games are going to be really fun, right?
03:04France against Spain.
03:06So the winner goes to the final.
03:07Loser goes to the consolation match.
03:09If it's going to be, say, France wins and Spain goes to the consolation match,
03:13Argentina against England.
03:14Let's say England wins that game.
03:15You have Argentina against Spain in the consolation match.
03:19That's a hell of a game.
03:20Like, that's a really good game.
03:22That's really fun.
03:23I don't know who really cares about it and how the players care about it.
03:26But that's two really good teams playing each other.
03:28Any way you shape this where we have the next four games,
03:32it's going to be awesome.
03:34So bravo to the World Cup.
03:35They delivered like massive, massive ratings, massive attention.
03:39They all 100% delivered.
03:41Thumbs up.
03:42Awesome.
03:43Really fun to see how it's all played out for the World Cup.
