So please keep that in mind.
Don't ask me about the trophy ceremony.
There is a reason why it's still called morally abhorrent.
So for you in the audience today...
The last episode that we had, we had Tom Bogert, Chris's colleague over at the Golazo Network, and we did a U.S.
men's national team intensive preview episode.
And, Chris, I'm going to get you in here to talk plenty of U.S.
when we preview their group, but you are the biggest soccer expert I know.
I respect you immensely, and I thought it would be fun to catch the layman, the casual sports fan, the person that maybe has drifted away from the game a little bit.
Look, hand to God, I hate VAR.
It's kind of ruined the game a little bit for me.
And also, you know, I kind of miss the oligarch a little bit.
Let's be real.
So I had to bone up, and I watched plenty of Chris Winningham in the last few months and plenty of Galazzo.
And I got to tell you, like, you are such a great ambassador and caretaker of this sport.
And I wanted to bring you in so we can have a macro view of all these groups.
We're going to try to preview every single one of these groups, groups A through L. We're going to try to β
Get as much as we can in five-minute doses here.
And Chris knows all about soccer.
And we're going to try to make some predictions here.
