Welcome to Unfiltered Soccer with Landon and Tim. He's Landon Donovan. I'm Tim Howard. It's over. Bro, it's over. It's over.
Yeah. Full disclosure, it's been a long six months. I let off a little steam last night. We're not getting the best tea today? I'm hurting a little bit today, if I'm being honest. So I hope you all just take that into account when you grade my performance. All right, guys. Follow us on social media, as always, at Unfiltered Soccer.

well um one of our one of our favorite teammates and one of our best friends brad guzan is joining the show today brad is a club ambassador and sporting advisor for atlanta united fc where he won an mls cup former us men's national team goalkeeper 144 appearances for aston villa over 200 for atlanta united fc host of the good News and show. What's happening, bro? What's happening, guys? You know, just talking soccer. I love it. Good to see you, man.
A lot of time together in the last like 24 hours. We enjoy that. We watch the game together.
I'll keep going.
Had a few beverages together last night. Me less than him.
I didn't get a text, by the way. I did not get a text.
There's a reason for that. Correct. There's a reason for that. Correct.
I was on my own. I was on my own.
So we sat together. Just general impressions of the game. Was that your first World Cup final being out? It was mine. It was. I never had no idea. Which was a cool, like, feeling.
Again, I was on my couch and I did not get this text. Okay.
Well, yeah, no, there's limited spots. We started our show. We started our pregame show in Brooklyn. So we were on sale. That's right. Under the bridge. Yeah. And so we started there and then it took us about an hour and 15 minutes to get to the stadium, get in. So I missed the first 10 minutes of the game. Then we got in, found receipts. It was all good. I'll see you.
would you think just like overall analysis, like thoughts on the game, what you expected, what you, you know?
Yeah. I mean, I was disappointed in Argentina, to be honest, to not really give it a real go and give himself a chance. Just the final was always going to be a letdown from 22 and how, how that game played out. And so the Spain performance, I think is what we all expected and they stuck to their guns of how they played throughout the tournament. And that's who they are. That's our identity. And, Ultimately, it led to success. But yeah, I was disappointed Argentina didn't give it a real go.
Who did you officially pick to win the tournament, like before the tournament?
I had France.
Did you? Yeah, that's a good choice.
I had France.
You sort of had France. No, I didn't. You wrote my coattails.
You know those Walgreens receipts? I got them. Who'd you have? We can play back a hundred recordings of the episode where I say Spain. And by the way, I was on Fox the whole tournament saying Spain.
But you got that for me. You got that for me.
By the way, the other thing is, the game played out exactly how I thought it would. I couldn't picture a scenario where Argentina were going to score the first goal. I just couldn't see it happen because France, if you can't do it with France, they have three of the probably best five players in the world on their team, attacking players. How's Argentina going to score? And I know they have Messi, don't get me wrong, but I just couldn't see that happening. So eventually the dam broke. It was just pressure and pressure and pressure. And eventually the dam broke.
And I'll keep referring back to the England-Argentina semifinal. And I'm not banging the drum for England, but I am banging the drum for soccer. It's like... People criticize England constantly. They sat in, they didn't get the ball. Well, Argentina didn't have any of the ball either. Sometimes you can be seen to be mortal in the game of football, depending on the team.
