There were some great parties all over the world. matched

The Euros always provide great events, but that maybe the U.S. matched

wasn't going to be capable of providing that. matched

That was definitely the number one takeaway from me was the number of people here that loved it and the number of people from abroad that loved it, that genuinely enjoyed taking in all that the United States has to offer and us kind of reminding ourselves, oh yeah, there's a few things to like about this place that we live in. matched

Maybe the third best team in the world by transitive property. matched

They are the only team to have not lost to either of the two teams in the final, which is, I guess they lost to Argentina in the end. matched

But I mean, look, they certainly gave the best game to either of those two teams in the final. matched

And it is kind of interesting that every great World Cup champion has a footnote. matched

somewhere in their tournament run. matched

For Argentina, four years ago, was that they lost to Saudi Arabia in their opener, and it is extraordinary that they were the only team, and actually, watching that game yesterday, at one point I said, I think Argentina are trying to replicate the Cabo Verde formula, because all they did to Spain for 90 minutes was frustrate them, try and stop them from scoring a goal, and really not doing anything in the attack. matched

That's all they were trying to do, and I guess in some ways, the fact that they got to 90 minutes and nil-nil, it sort of worked. matched

It just is embarrassing when you're Argentina and not the underdog that is Cabo Verde. matched

Right, and they had zero in 90. matched

I guess in the same period of the 90 minutes, Argentina managed to hold zero. matched

And there was that one chance that they had, I want to say it was like in the 92nd or 93rd minute of that group stage game where they could have won it. matched

Yeah, so I guess you could argue that Cabo Verde were better against Spain than Argentina were. matched

I don't like it. matched

And I saw on social media, we put out a clip of me saying that and all these people thought I was defending Messi's honor. matched

Oh, only Messi's Golden Boot record. matched
