What updates does Mike share about the World Cup?
You are listening to the Dan Levitar Show in partnership with the DraftKings Sports app. Now live in all 50 states.
This segment is presented to you by DraftKings. DraftKings, the crown is yours. And we are looking at today's match between the United States. Zaz, do you know who they're playing?
Yeah, they're playing Turkey.
You called it by the right name. Good on you. They've earned my respect.
How does Zas feel about going to the movies with his son?
Not with their play this tournament. Have they scored a goal yet? They've been terrible. They have been brutal. They were already eliminated. One of those weird byproducts of a World Cup that's expanded. You're getting a few games where nothing is on the line.
I thought it would have been the other way around when there's more teams that can make the knockout round that it would mean more games matter.
Well, I think this is the first tournament that's this big, obviously. And one of the changes that FIFA made, which was for the better, I think, in previous incarnations was goal differential used to be the main tiebreaker. And then you had teams that wouldn't make it to the knockout stage are like, well, that sucks because we beat the team that got in ahead of us. Even though we're on the same amount of points, that should be the chief tiebreaker, which I agree with. but it has made the final match day of the groups a little less interesting but we do have some spicy ones this one not as spicy but let's stay focused on the United States men's national team I imagine a lot of rotation for this club you got guys on yellows Christian Pulisic has said he is available but I think I speak for most U.S.
men's national team fans I don't want you to be available I want you to continue resting so we'll see who's in this lineup one thing I do know We like to attack. We like to score. We like to get in threatening positions. And while Turkey A hasn't this tournament, with the rotation and the style of play that the U.S. play and all the unknowns, I'd love to take a side here, but I don't really know what to expect because I don't see the roster sheet. So let's go both teams to score.
What are the stakes for the U.S. Men's National Team in their upcoming match?
I opened up my trusty DraftKings Sports app available in all 50 states, including the Sunshine State of Florida. Market price, minus 144. Both teams to score. I'm going with that.
All right. There you go. So U.S. is playing tonight at 10 o'clock Eastern against Turkey. They have already clinched their group. But what are the stakes here that is specifically for Group D? You know, like Paraguay and Australia are also playing. All the games are at the same time. So we have six games today. You know, it's Group D, E and F. Is anything on the line with Paraguay and Australia?
Yes. There is. Both teams have beaten Turkey. So they're in this mix of teams where Scotland now finds itself in a bad situation because they couldn't afford to get blown out by Brazil yesterday. And they did. So now they're watching these results to make sure they can stay within...
What insights does Mike provide from his experience in Guadalajara?
this gold differential gap they're trying to get in as a third place team you're saying yeah eight third place teams make it so you're gonna have a lot of these teams that are on three points on two points hell even some teams on one point that with a win and a favorable draw right now if turkey a was in the situation where they needed to result against the united states of america with the united states of america already set as group winners their opponent already pretty much set in bosnia herskabina you can take advantage of why are you pointing at me when he says bosnia herskabina i'm not from there
You're not from there, but you told me that you like their fans.
Oh, yeah, that is true. You can point me to that.
They are great fans. So Ecuador right now is going up against Germany, and you would think, all right, favorable draw. Germany already set as group winners because of the head-to-head. Ecuador desperately need a win. Let's beat Germany. They're going to take this one for granted because they don't need it. Germany apparently not going to have rotation. So this all comes down to how these teams play.
