We're still not the best team in the world.

Let's not be Australian and think that we're the best team in the world.

I got to tell you, Pat, something, man.

There's out there and being American, you feel this.

There's a lot of.

I hate to say, like, there's a lot of jealousy going on out there, man.

We've dominated all the other sports, and now there's just, like, they don't want us to have soccer, you know?

And I think a lot of people are upset that we're pretty good, that we looked pretty good the other night.

But let's see.

As we go into the tournament, I think we have tools to go deep, and why not?

Why can't the boys go deep?

We just got to force them to say that.

It seems like we might have a tactic that no other country is prepared for because after the game, Paraguay's head coach basically said, like, Ponch deployed the Pentagon, and we absolutely shit the bed.

We had no way to defend it.

We didn't know what we were doing.

I assume we're going to deploy that on Friday afternoon and that Australia is going to have absolutely no answer for it.

Is that what we're expecting?

I mean, is this just going to be an absolute onslaught, just a straight attack?

I won't say Blitzkrieg.

We'll save that for the Germans whenever we see them in the quarterfinals, semifinals, championship match.
