I was just on the air.

But that group, it was...

One of my greatest memories to be in South Africa and see South Africa play, to see the U.S.

play in person and travel around as being one of those sets inside the stadium, to be at a World Cup final in person, to host the World Cup final in 2014, to see the streets of Brazil go completely empty.

I mean, completely empty in Rio de Janeiro at four o'clock in the afternoon.

When Brazil was playing, when the national team played, there was a Subway sandwich shop downstairs from where we were doing our post set on Copacabana Beach, on the edge of Copacabana Beach.

And they would put up a sign if it was a four o'clock local start that we close at three.

And that was on the sign of almost every game.

business in Rio, in all of Brazil, the country shuts down.

And that's what happens around the world.

I'm so glad I got to experience that.

My son played travel soccer at a high level.

I was around it.

So I love the sport.

I love what the World Cup is about.

And I think what's really cool

is now not only parents, but a lot of the kids whose first sport was soccer.

Three-year-olds running around in a little pack around the ball and traveling around.

That's the first sport for almost every American kid now.

They play a little bit longer.
