How do FIFA and NFL events differ in their organization?

Cristina Alexander 0:00
In the People World Cup, is Messi going to play with Argentina? Yes. I'm picking Argentina with Messi. Shout out to USA. I've got to go with USA as well. USA or Argentina.
Herculez Gomez 0:22
Welcome to Super Bowl 60 week special edition Football Americas. We are here. We are very much enjoying the weather and Drake Lake clearly is prepared not only for what's coming up here on Sunday, but what's coming up here during the summer. It's a party.

Is it time for Cristiano Ronaldo to consider an MLS move?

Herculez Gomez 0:41
And yes, I am saying it. Not only because it's Super Bowl week, because I have Mauricio Pedrosa.
Mauricio Pedroza 0:47
Hello.
Herculez Gomez 0:48
Hercules Gomez.
Mauricio Pedroza 0:49
Drake, mate. What? Picking the U.S.? One underdog picks the other underdog?
He also picked Argentina and Messi, by the way.
Mauricio Pedroza 0:56
Well, he also asked if Messi was playing.

What are the implications of James Rodríguez joining Minnesota United?

Herculez Gomez 0:57
He's covering all these bases. Smart man.
Mauricio Pedroza 1:00
We'll let Drake and me, you know.
Herculez Gomez 1:02
Fly.
Mauricio Pedroza 1:03
Fly for that one.
Herculez Gomez 1:03
Yeah, have a good time. He gets a pass. Coming up, here's someone who maybe isn't having a great time, although it is his birthday today, Cristiano Ronaldo. We will talk about his future, which kind of seems up in the air. He is still on strike.

How did Jorge Sánchez perform in his transition to Europe?

Herculez Gomez 1:16
And, of course, we will break down how San Diego did in the CONCACAF Champions Cup. No Chucky, no problem. Javier Aguirre was present. Yeah, se llamaba Chucky Lozano there with San Diego. But first, we're going to keep talking about the Super Bowl. and the New England Patriots quarterback with Drake May, because he not only gave his prediction for the World Cup, but he talked about what it meant to wear number 10.
Cristina Alexander 1:46
Yeah, I used to be a big FIFA player back in the day. I love playing FIFA, but I think it's awesome. The World Cup's coming to the U.S. There's going to be some games possibly in my area and in our area in New England.

What were the highlights from the CONCACAF Champions Cup?

Cristina Alexander 1:56
The World Cup is such a cool deal. I remember watching it. The last one when Messi won it against France. It was such a great game. What a great sport that soccer is and football, people call it as well. That I wear number 10? No, but I like to make that correlation. I'm a big fan of Messi, you know, Lionel Messi. I'm a big fan of Neymar. Does Mbappe wear 10 too?

How is Real Sociedad performing under Matarazzo's management?

Cristina Alexander 2:18
Mbappe. Who else wears it? Pele. I mean, a bunch of soccer greats. I guess it just happened to be the number, but I think it's a pretty good number.
Herculez Gomez 2:30
I told you he knows ball. I told you he knows ball.
Yeah, he knows ball.
Herculez Gomez 2:35
It's pretty great.
Number 10.

What are the challenges facing Chucky Lozano in his career?

Herculez Gomez 2:37
He knows what's up.
The greatest thing is that it all starts with playing FIFA. Yes. Playing video games. Of course. That's how he got hooked into football, as people also call it, like he said.
Mauricio Pedroza 2:51
He recognizes game. I am a Raider at heart, so there's a small to large part of my heart that hates the Patriots because it was an organization-altering line of events. Let it go. But he didn't name Marev.

What does the future hold for soccer in North America?

Mauricio Pedroza 3:05
He didn't name Christian Pulisic. He went out and named Pele, which is fine. I don't blame anybody for not being an avid soccer fan. I actually like Mauricio that the gateway to this game for him was a video game, was FIFA, which is a gateway to many, many out there other athletes, entertainers, who get involved into the sport because they've either played it or they've watched it, not on a major network, but on YouTube in a video. So however you get your fix, I'm in for it. And that has another effect.
And Drake May is 23, so he does belong to a generation of fans. fans that nowadays follow players more than clubs, more than teams. So he didn't say, hey, I'm a fan of Real Madrid. I'm a fan of PSG. No, I'm a fan of Messi. I'm a fan of Ronaldo. I'm a fan of Mbappe. He was dropping names. But this is what happens when your first contact with a sport is through video games. Nothing against it. The opposite. I mean, however it works, but I think it speaks volumes of how this new generation to the one that Drake May belongs actually got into the game.
Herculez Gomez 4:19
I like that FIFA is teaching the children clearly here with Drake May, but I don't think he's watched Neymar as of late because maybe he wouldn't have mentioned him in the list.
Mauricio Pedroza 4:28
He's still a great 10.
Herculez Gomez 4:29
Yes, he is, but historically compared to maybe Mbappe, what we've seen of him lately, or Leo Messi.
Mauricio Pedroza 4:35
All-time leading goal scorer, Brazilian national team.
