The Volume.

Today's World Cup Draw Reaction is presented by Haleon, the maker of Advil, Centrum, Tums,

Sensadine, and Voltaren.

They've teamed up with U.S. soccer for the assist, a campaign celebrating all the moments

of support that make the big goals possible, because every goal starts with an assist.

In the history of the every goal starts with an assist.

In the history of the United States men's national team, the man you're looking at has the most goals and most assists in the history of our country.

And we have ourselves a World Cup.

Okay, Argentina headlines group J, Algeria, Austria, and Jordan. When you said, um, the defending champs, messy will do messy things, which is just

individual greatness off script. Nobody has won back to back world Cup since I believe Brazil 58 to 62.

It's a different world.

It's as moneyed and is competitive and now we're expanding the tournament.

So it's very difficult.

There's an argument the last World Cup was perfect timing because you kind of had it felt like

the end of Messi's prime, just the end of it. He's now out of his prime. How dependent is Argentina

on Messi? What Scoloni has done their coach a fantastic job of is they are very good with him

and they're also very good without him. And that's a really unique quality. When you think about players at the end, think about LeBron, right, how do you, you know, the first part of this season, the Lakers are playing really well and Austin Reeves is going off and Luca's great and whatever. And now you have to play LeBron. He's LeBron. And so my question is for them is, how will they use messy, right? Remember, it's in the summer, Colin, it's hot, there's travel, it's not going to be easy. And he's, I think, 39 years old, you can't play every minute of every game. He just can't. Maybe he'll prove me wrong. Maybe they'll prove me. But I don't think they're

going to get the best out of him or Argentina if he plays every minute. So the real conversations are

going to be way before the World Cup with Scoloni their head coach, talking to Leonel Messi and saying,

look, this is how I'd like to use you. Let's work together so we get this thing right because

I don't want you playing every minute and you

can't play every minute if we're going to be successful.
