00:00I want to ask you about, is this the first time that we've had the top four teams make it
00:05to the semis here?
00:06And what you think about the matchups here.
00:08So, I mean, from what I'm understanding, this is the first time we've seen the top four teams.
00:12It's the first time that the four teams, the first time that the top four ranked teams coming into the
00:18tournament make the semis.
00:19I mean, look, you look at that grid, you look at that draw, you know, there have been so many
00:25great stories along the way.
00:27All the cute little teams won our hearts and did everything.
00:32And the Tartan Army and the Norwegian rowers and, you know, Ivory Coast and Curaçao and Cape Verde.
00:41And, I mean, all of these countries did great and won our hearts and including the United States.
00:47The United States had some incredible moments, a lot of proud moments for American fans.
00:52But now, at the end of the day, look who's left.
00:56France against Spain, England against Argentina.
01:00Those two countries have a long, long, long, long history on and off the field.
01:05That is going to be unbelievable.
01:07And then France and Spain, you know, all four of those teams, to be honest, the third place game is
01:12in Miami.
01:12That third place game is going to be between the two losers of those two games, which means two of
01:19the top four teams are going to be playing the third place game, the bronze medal game.
01:25It's an incredible—to be honest, this World Cup, I know people complain about the ticket prices, the thing with—we haven't
01:33even—we did not discuss the Balogun-Trump fiasco, all that mess that went on.
01:38I think that affected the U.S. team, too, by the way.
01:41I do think that that affected negatively the U.S. team, and it gave Belgium more motivation because when they
01:47scored, they did a Trump dance.
01:50So that was on their minds.
01:52And they posted 4-1 overturned that.
01:56They posted that on social media, 4-1, so it was on their mind.
02:00If it was on Belgium's mind, it was on Balogun's mind, and it was on his teammates' mind, and I
02:06think it was a distraction.
02:07I do think it was probably a distraction.
02:10But aside from that, I think this World Cup has been unbelievable so far.
02:14And having these four teams in the semis and having the top players competing for the golden boot,
02:20you've got Mbappe and Messi and Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham all still competing for the golden boot, it's unbelievable.
