Here we go again.

Tune in on Monday to find out.

But part of that is curious.

I am curious to see what we do with Erling Haaland.

I hope we don't find out.

How does the United States go up potentially against the likes of Erling Haaland, who would just toy with the U.S.

's back line?

He's like 6'4", and he's faster than everybody else, too.

6'4 in soccer is pretty big.

It's pretty gigantic.

I think the U.S.

tallest player is 6'4".

I...

It's a bummer because the energy around this one, and I'm a huge soccer fan, and I've been waiting literally since I was a child for the opportunity to host the World Cup again, and given the current climate and how people view the U.S., I'm not as pumped, and I wish that the soccer team was in a place that I had more faith in.

When this was first announced, I'm like, yeah, that's enough cycles away for us to actually have a chance to win this thing because host nations, there's a lot of Cinderella stories there, so...

I'm hopeful, and I know I'm going to be smacked in the face once again with politics.

And I'm going to hate it, and it's going to take a lot of the air out of the situation for me.

But I am still charged up to see where the U.S.

gets grouped.

And I hope against hope that I can find a way to muster up that childlike enthusiasm because the one in the 90s changed my life.
