Belgium, it was their golden generation.

And then they got out of that to face Spain.

a Portugal, a France.

Now, after that France, if they did beat them, add another top team to that.

That would have been their semifinal.

So this essentially quarterfinal is now their semifinal, which is why I think it's the end of the line.

If all goes well and they qualify as a first place, and if all goes well and they beat Belgium and Spain does first place and beats who they need to play, they will face each other in that quarterfinal.

I don't think there's anybody on earth right now who's picking the United States.

Is it impossible?

No, this is a game and we've seen crazier things, but certainly you are not.

It's not a gimme.

It's not, hey, before we even know who we're playing, that's the goal of semifinals.

Well, I've got some beachfront property in Cleveland I need to show them.

Okay.

That is 50 goal involvements, goals, and assists in 48 games in a league where you have the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, you have Benzema, you've got some very good players, and Julian Quinones does not stop finding the back of the net.

Well, I'm not going to sit here and presume that the Saudi Pro League is at an extremely high level.

I happen to think the Brazilian league is a very very good level.

Outside the top five, we could certainly say, make a case, it's inside the top 10 in world football.

The Saudi Pro League is not.

But you won't find the type of players in the Brazilian League that you're going to find in the Saudi Pro League.
