Hour number two, Overdrive. Jim Taddy and Frankie Corrado with you. Jimmy T and Frankie C filling in for the regulars. Bottom of the hour, Steve Phillips talking about Major League Baseball at the All-Star break. 6.45, threatened to have a special guest join us, but we have an extra special guest with us now. Richie Larea is here talking soccer. How are you?
I'm good, I'm good. How are you guys doing?
Very good. What'd you make of the Spain win 2-0 over France today?
Yeah, it was a good game. I think Spain obviously was dominant against a very good France side with a lot of very good players. So it was an enjoyable game to watch.
How much have you been paying attention to the tournament since you guys have been eliminated?
I've honestly watched every game since you've been out. It's been a great tournament to follow, obviously, with us being in it and going so far. I also want to see how some of the teams we've played against are going to fare in the tournament. So yeah, I've continued watching.
What World Cup match reactions does Richie Laryea share about Spain vs France?
What was the ride like, man? You were playing for Team Canada, games are in Canada, Toronto, Vancouver, we see all the scenes, people in the streets. What was it like to be a player for Team Canada through all of that?
Yeah, it was unreal. I don't even know... the words or what to say to exactly express what it meant to be a part of that because the love and support we got shown from fans all across the country and then obviously in the stadiums whenever we went to BMO Field and BC Place for the two games, it was unreal. It made all of us realize what we're doing is... So much bigger than what we are and who we are. I think the overall experience was top class.
You brought up the two stadiums and you obviously played for the Whitecaps, right? Played for TFC. Do you see a lot of the... I guess the fans comparing the stadiums and the atmospheres. Like, you understand the dynamic between Toronto and Vancouver, right? Like, do you pay attention to that? Like, do you notice it? Or are you just tunnel vision on the tournament?
No, no, I didn't. I wasn't paying too close attention. But honestly, both sets of stadiums, obviously being Premier, the first game, and, you know, walking out to the pitch and seeing all the red and the fans. And, yeah, it was incredible. And then BC Place also delivered where you walk in and, yeah, it's just... all canadian fans which was awesome to see it's awesome to play in an atmosphere like that where it's pro canada and pro your fans so yeah both that's the stadiums did an incredible job
So, I mean, that had to be somewhat startling because you play at BMO all the time and then you see how it's reconfigured for the World Cup. I mean, it's just a totally different look, isn't it?
Yeah, it was honestly almost unrecognizable. Like when I walked into the locker room and even the tunnel heading out to the field, everything has obviously been changed because of the World Cup. So it was, yeah, it felt different in some spaces. But, you know, when you walk out and you see the bench and the stadium and all of that, it's obviously all the same, but it's... And just to a way bigger magnitude of, you know, the fans, there's not one seat that was empty. And then, yeah, just the atmosphere inside the stadium as well was incredible.
When you've been a part of the national team now for a little while and it's taken a lot of steps forward, you go into this tournament and you look at the group that you're up against.
How did Richie describe the experience of playing for Canada at World Cup games in Toronto and Vancouver?
Internally, of course, you'll say you have a lot of belief and we can go as far as we possibly can. How far did you guys really believe you can go? Did you exceed expectations? Did you meet it? What was that dynamic like for you guys?
yeah i think internally for us as a group we always spoke about we're gonna make a run in this tournament we're gonna you know surprise a lot of people so for us to get to where we go to i don't think was a surprise to us uh maybe on the outside to some people it was maybe for some people it also wasn't enough you know how sports are you know there's divided uh for sure so but for us i think we always knew we could get out of the group and
