00:00You know, one thing I've learned about these national stars and these world stars like Messi, Ronaldo, you know, we're
00:07seeing all these great players here.
00:08It's really opening it up for the American sports fan that has guardrails.
00:12I'm an NFL guy outside the National Football League's guardrails, the American borders, right?
00:18I mean, I don't know anything else other than that because these are our sports, right?
00:22I think it's really inundated us American sports fans on watching Messi, watching Cristiano Ronaldo, seeing all these superstars that
00:29they have on France.
00:30I mean, it's really broadened the spectrum of seeing what's really out there with the biggest sport on the planet,
00:37and I think it's been refreshing.
00:39Yeah, I totally agree.
00:41I think, you know, people want American fans to flock to the MLS, and there will be some,
00:49but there's also a reason why the Premier League is advertised as much as it is, right?
00:53Obviously, it's still English-speaking, and, you know, you can follow it.
00:56It's honestly probably more accessible than the Premier League.
01:01You know, you don't need an Apple TV subscription to follow the Premier League at a pretty high level with
01:07their national TV schedule.
01:08So you take a guy like Haaland who will play today, and if you want to watch him on Saturday
01:14mornings with Manchester City, you know, you can do that.
01:17I was at a 4th of July party where people who, like, when I show up, they're like, oh, God,
01:24here comes the sports guy, right?
01:26Like, they're not interested in it.
01:28They were talking about, like, that guy Haaland's cool, man.
01:30That guy's awesome.
01:32He's got a YouTube channel.
01:33I'm like, what?
01:35Haaland?
01:35That's weird.
01:36Okay.
01:36Like, sure.
01:37You know, but good for them.
01:38Like, I'm glad people are getting into it.
01:41And so, yes, I think you're absolutely spot on that the draw for this tournament has not just been, oh,
01:47the U.S. has been cool.
01:48It has been an everyday star fest that has kept people entertained throughout.
01:54And so, yes, I think we're going to go out.
