Welcome, proud Americans, soccer fans alike, to Morally Abhorrent.

We are live this Saturday morning.

Hope everyone is having a brilliant Father's Day weekend.

And it got off to an amazing start as the United States of America have won their group with the result that happened in Turkey at Panama.

Last night, the U.S.

have one hell of a path.

And to get into more of that and yesterday's performance, our founding forefather, Chris Whittingham.

Welcome aboard, Chris.

I am presently looking at the FIFA resale market here for a, you know, just your standard mid mid July Tuesday afternoon in Dallas.

Fort Worth here looking at a semifinal for the United States men's national team, possibly because, folks...

I don't know if you've got that whiz kid friend of yours to do all the machinations and possibilities on the United States side of the bracket, but it can get a little goofy.

And we're going to get into that, and we're going to start sounding a little crazy.

But, Witty, we are in the position now where we're taking three points with ho-hum performances in the World Cup without needing our best attacking player.

That...

is really encouraging if you're a United States soccer fan.

And I think the rest of the world has taken notice that this is a formidable host nation.

What was your main takeaway from yesterday against Australia?

To speak to how difficult it is to perform well at this World Cup, also quite randomly, if the United States does qualify for the World Cup, they tend to make it to the knockout rounds.

This is the fourth straight knockout stage that the U.S.

men have made it to in World Cups that they have qualified for.
