A couple of those Egypt goals, including the one that was disallowed, Zico was the goal scorer, Egypt's Mustafa Zico, and his quote is the following. Quote, it's clear that this tournament has been fixed, end quote. It's clear. You just don't see that very much. Like, it's just... It's not that plainly stated.
It's what they brought. It's what they brought on with the Baligan thing. I'm telling you. That's why... Optics matter in a sport that is supposed to aspire to objectivity. They famously have officials that have zero ties to either of the countries because they're supposed to be impartiality here. And growing suspicions, things that you can point to. Yeah, Inter-Miami making the Club World Cup is a little weird, but whatever. They just made it up. But it just adds fuel. And when you have the ballagin thing burst through the dam, now you've allowed for everything to have credence.
The goalie can't be the one who says that. Because if he... stop the shots, they would win. But it wasn't the goalie, it was Zico. Oh, the goal scorer. Oh, you're such a professional.
Big difference. Quite the opposite, actually. I'm going to punish you now by making you do a World Cup segment. I got lots to say on World Cup. Okay, I'm going to punish you, and you deserve it for that mistake.
Hey, make sure you're not late. It's time for Zaslow's World Cuck Update.
I mean, I don't know what that was. Trying to do a World Cup update. The hell you doing there?
I do have a few more things I want to say, Dan, as far as the World Cup is concerned. Now, because yesterday was the final round of 16 game, you know what comes next? You know what's next after round of 16?
I cannot believe how electric this World Cup has been. It really has been. It's so good. We finally have the good matches that give life to this being one of the greatest tournaments of all time. We were missing those bangers in Argentina in back-to-back matches. Give us instant classic after instant classic. The Cabo Verde game was insane. Against all-time African underdogs. They run up against the greatest player at the tail end of his career, still having enough for one last job. Mike, let me tell you what. That 13 on Cabo, what a shot. This is incredible. Shot of the tournament. Did you see it, Ben? And how about those fans? Did you see it, Ben, Dan? It was a literal movie. It was crazy. He runs into the sand, finds his lady.
Boom. That's how you end the movie, folks. That is unbelievable. He was looking, and the security was like, no, no, go back. And he's like, no. No, where is she? That's love right there.
She's got to know also to come down the stairs. What are you doing? I'm the one who's doing this.
Your second topic, Zazz. Do you have another World Cuck topic?
Well, I'll tell you what. All right, I don't know why you're saying it like that. But anyway, I have other things that I want to talk about. You know what? You can't take this away from me. I don't know if you saw Monday night, this past Monday night.
CM Punk returns to WWE. After months away and all sorts of rumor and innuendo, he's not on the right side with TKO. Comes back in his hometown of Chicago and beats Sami Zayn, whose title reign lasts about a week. Much, much fanfare in Chicago. CM Punk related to Daft Punk at all? No, not at all. Oh, really? Daft Punk's good, though. Not unlike Messi, later in his career, finding top form, his body looking incredible. You know what this might set up? Cody Rhodes versus CM Punk at SummerSlam.
Greg Cody Rhodes.
I'm going to SummerSlam.
I want to talk about this.
Well done, Jeremy.
What is Zaslow's 'World Cuck Update' introduction and joke about the World Cup?
Your third topic, Zed Slow, of this World Cuck Update.
You know what? Actually, I'll allow you to call it that here because there's a movie that just came out that I want to watch. It's by our pal Billy Corbin. It's called... God forbid.
That's not just coming out. It's the most popular documentary in the history of Hulu.
