This team is different.

It's not that they won 4-1, it's the way they won.

I have rarely, if ever, seen a U.S.

men's soccer team in a World Cup that aggressive and that impressive offensively.

Pulisic's their best player, and he was the fourth or fifth best player in that game because they had so much talent around him.

They have a coach who's an accomplished coach.

So I think this is the real deal.

I think they're going to handle Australia pretty easily.

If we kick the shit out of Australia, it might be on.

Look, they're obviously going to get to the next round, which at this point I think goes without saying.

But then they have to beat—it's like Chris Whittingham.

We had Whittingham on my podcast, and he said, and I totally agree with him, the U.S.

begins to get respect if in the knockout stage they beat—

a team that makes everybody go, wow, really?

And there are only like six or seven of those teams in the world.

It's Spain, France, Brazil, Argentina, Germany, Portugal.

If they beat one of those teams in the knockout round, then people are convinced that U.S.

soccer has arrived.

That's one of your catchphrases.

Is that like an E-E-H-H thing?
