What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
From the Totally Studios in Los Angeles, it's Totally at the World Cup. Day nine, have a bang on these. Friday, USA beat Oz in the Emerald City. The Socceroos clean sheetless in Seattle as the hosts go through to the last 32. Meanwhile, Scotland come up empty like a Boston brewery as Morocco win 1-0 at Foxborough and in Philly. Brazil are Haiti, Cunha and Vinnie Jr. and Haiti are heading home soon. It's Friday evening in LA, quite possibly Saturday morning in the UK as we bring you a fresh new Totally at the World Cup. Joining Duncan and myself... It's the returning Phil Hay. Hello, thank you for having me back on.
How did the USA secure their place in the knockout stage?
Very kind. We've missed you.
Yeah, I wondered if you might have ditched me completely. No, no. And quite fairly. Have you been travelling up to Boston for a few months? I wish I had been, putting fairy liquid in the fountains. Right.
What were the highlights of Scotland's match against Morocco?
I would say no major tournament in Scotland starts until you've got fairy liquid in the fountains. But no, I've been in my apartment typing away. I say from a little trip down to Santa Monica Beach, which was very nice in the summer.
Okay. Santa Monica Beach is nice. You've also been searching for Buckfast in Los Angeles.
Yes, I will get some of this either before the end of the tournament or before Scotland go out of the tournament. But I went looking for it this morning and no dice, unfortunately. And I did go to an off-license called the Robert Burns Liquor Store, which didn't have any and should have been shut down instantly for that reason. Quite so.
A disappointing day for you in many ways then, Phil, though I'm sure there have been some good bits as well. We'll get on to those very, very shortly. It has, though, been a great 24 hours for the hosts, Mexico, Canada and the USA. Canada on Thursday for us with their record win, their first ever win at the World Cup, 6-0. Mexico also on Thursday becoming the first team to qualify for the knockout stages and USA Today joining them there. Oh, look, there's the day nine so far scorelines. USA definitely through to the round of 32. We'll find out later on after the Paraguay-Turkey game whether it is as group winners already or not. But 2-0 there up at Lumen Field in Seattle. In Group C, meanwhile, Scotland losing 1-0 to Morocco and a 3-0 win for Brazil a little bit later on in Philadelphia against Haiti.
Moment of the day. I think, Phil, you go first.
Yeah, it was referee Felix Zweier. Is that how you pronounce it? In the USMNT Australia game, pulling up towards the end. It was added time. I needed Australia player to stretch his leg out. Then I think Balogun came and did the same. And Duncan spotted that he got a little sachet of pickle juice as well to try and get rid of the cramp.
So they keep pickle juice nearby in case of what they call... Do you not? No. I mean, two things here. One, I didn't know that pickle juice was the remedy for... Same. Second thing, what the Americans term a charley horse.
Yeah, I find that harder to cope with, that a cramp can be called charley horse, which sounds like a... You know, a CBB series.
Why is it called Charlie Horse? Your listeners, viewers are really good at answering these questions, like the skunk. Yep.
Let us know. I mean, pickle juice is very popular in sports now for that very reason, particularly in sports like cycling, where they hand it out of a car window and you down it. And about five minutes later, the cramps disappear. But it's very unbecoming, I thought, for a referee to get cramp. It looks a bit bad.
It's quite surprising as well that a Bundesliga referee was like that at the end of the game. You think they'd push through, no problem. Did he bonk?
No. Well, that's when you go hypoglycemic. You run out of sugar. They would have given him an energy gel instead of pickle juice. Okay. You can mix them. I wouldn't recommend it. Do you know what did get bonked? The ball in your moment of the day. Yeah. Yes. I mean, I'd already said that my goal of the tournament with Sairi was...
Opener against Brazil, but this one I mean Phil can you point it on the screen because it's a little bit blurry there It's it's so hard by cybery that it it goes to the top corner of the net and stays there We don't have to come back here.
