What are the expectations for Mexico in the World Cup?
Adnan Virk from MLB Network joins us now on the Halford & Brough Show on Sportsnet 650. Good morning, Adnan. How are you? Mike, Jason, always a pleasure, fellas.
I had to at least experience the atmosphere of being afforded all those who are enjoying these Knicks games. Of course, they can't afford to take to the actual game. And I went with a buddy of mine, the great Scott Rogowski of HQ Trivia to Midtown Manhattan to watch the Knicks game. And of course, they're getting smokes. I said, all right, once it gets to half, let's just walk around a little bit. The furthest you get to Madison Square Garden is about 36th Street.
How is the Mexican team handling injuries before the World Cup?
It's a few blocks away, but heavily sectioned off, huge police presence, and just a preponderance of weed. That was the biggest thing. Everyone's high as a kite, and you're seeing very random Dikemi Mutombo Knicks jerseys and just a ton of cops. Eventually, Scotty goes, cops on the train, got to get to Brooklyn. And thank God, the great John Chick, my buddy texted me, hey, Nick's down by nine. I'm like, what? So I dropped in the Celtic pub on 49th Street and it's rammed. Thanks to the guy, let's see it there. And I watched one of the craziest comebacks ever in the final two minutes when I walked in down by four. We all know those moments when we went to bed prematurely or we missed a moment like that.
Thank God I didn't miss that moment. What a hell of a game and what a play by OG Ananobi. And it's a great talk radio conversation, which you guys do expertly. The next day you say, hey, did the Knicks win or did the Spurs lose? And I'll tell you right now, the Spurs lost. What an epic choke job by them. How do you lose up by 29, fellas? Awful. That was an all-time meltdown. I want to ask you, though. After you left the bar, when the game was over, what was it like on the streets of New York? I mean, it's pretty wild, man. In the bar itself, of course, everyone's high-fiving, hugging, screaming, revelry, etc. But even the buzz continues. When I got out of the bar, and again, Madison Square Garden is 33rd and 8th, I'm 10 blocks north.
But again, it's a massive, sprawling city.
What challenges does the U.S. team face in the World Cup?
Everyone's just screaming and whooping and hollering. It made me think, Bruff, This is the only team that this city would do it for. Like as many Yankees fans as there are, there's so many Mets fans, right? As many, you know, name it, Rangers, Alders, Devils. This city is split when it comes to Giants and Jets. But there's no Nets fans. Let's be honest. Nobody cares about the Nets. This entire, you know, 8.8 million populace is cheering for the Knicks.
What are the expectations for the U.S. team at the World Cup?
There is no Brooklyn Nets. Everyone loves the Knicks. And everyone's rooting for this team. So it's a wild time right now. I can't imagine. And think of the wild swing. I mean, the amount of muttering and utterances I heard that, oh, the Knicks are going to blow it.
