But before we get to that, we got to talk some World Cup. Are we excited? Knockout stage time, PFT? We got a bracket. That's all I care about. And getting a look at the bracket kicks ass. Yeah, I'm excited. I still go back to what I thought, like the second that we got scored on by Turkey in the last minute. Don't really care at all that we lost that game. I keep thinking about that game means less than nothing to us. And I actually liked what would poached set after the game. He was just like, yeah, why are we acting like to see in in the world? That loss means absolutely nothing. No one's going to remember what you did in that third game. We already advanced first in our group. I'm pumped. I'm pumped. I don't think that Belgium's that good. I'll say it. Maybe I'm looking past Bosnia and or Hertzcavine. But I like that. I love it. And set it up. You know what? goal is not bad either. So like you're gonna have have to beat good teams. So I guess we're going to find out if we're good team. Did you did you buy your your plane ticket to San Francisco for Wednesday? I do have my plane ticket to San Francisco. I'm going in and out Wednesday flying out there Wednesday morning, flying out Wednesday night. Love it. Love it. That's dedication. Yeah. It's So we had the third round of the group stage,

which we talked about at length that they changed the way that the tie breakers work. So a lot of them didn't mean anything. But we did have the rare, the tie off between Algerian, Austria on Saturday night, which was incredible theater because it was basically going into the game. both teams tied, or I mean if they tied each other, then they both advanced if one of them won the game, then Iran would have gotten in. So there was no reason for either of them. And it also added that if Algeria tied, they got the third seed, which would have been a better path than the second, which is against Spain. And we had two goals in stoppage time because they didn't, they broke the tie break. They broke the tie pack that they were having. It was incredible. That was very cool. And we also had Messi score another goal. I think that seven World Cup games in a row. So he just keeps doing it. Ronaldo did absolutely nothing. It's been fun. It's been fun. That the end of that game with Portugal and Columbia was bullshit too. We've got a lot of offsides discourse making its way back. I think that soccer is one sport that we can say the VAR, it makes a lot of stuff worse. The offsides on the VAR is so much worse. You've've got a guy's cleat poking out and they're calling that off sides. Is it dumb for me to say, this is the simplest thing in the world to fix, it's just your shoulders. That's what we think of for off sides, right? It's where your shoulders are. That's where the human body is. If your shoulders are past the other dude's shoulders, then that's off sides.

And if not, then you're on side.

It seems very, very simple to fix. But that was bullshit. Columbia got absolutely hosed. I think the fixes in the top. It was the tunnel, or an although. Yeah, it was the tunnel. It was the second best VAR offsides. Like a few years ago, we had Lukaku had his dick was off sides, literally just his penis.

And they showed the shield, the shield technology is cool. That makes it feels like it was made for dummies like us. We're like, oh yeah, look at that shield right there. Oh yeah, look, his toes passed it. But yeah, Ronaldo's, I mean, he's an absolute bum. I think we can all agree, right Zach?

I would say I disagree with the, I always call it the pinky toe, but we're throwing around bum and just kinda, you know, as you can't, that's not true. Mm-hmm. So the Portugal coach. Why did you have to like, dumb it down and say pinky toe? It was just like, just like toe. I mean, listen, I think we can all agree Ronaldo is washed up and that he should not be advancing to the knockout stage. But to diminish the nature of the toe off size, I think was a little childish sack. I will say yeah, he, I don't know if anyone's the less deserving than anyone else to advance, but the free kick going straight to the keeper didn't look the best so You don't want to see that like that's like, yeah. Yeah.

So Portugal and the group stage had, they used 22 different players. They rotated everyone on the team. Everyone took a break except Bernaldo, the 41 year old who demands that he plays every single minute. And he's back. He's back. Zach, are you if they if Ronaldo loses in and plays the way he's been playing in the first round of the knockout stage?

Will the I'm back I'm back against who's back a stand? He's Zach, are you, if they, if Ronaldo loses in, in, in plays the way he's been playing

in the first round of the knockout stage, will the I'm back, I'm back against who's Becca Stan B, one of the funniest clips in history. I will say in that game, he was so double back though. You know, in a vacuum, that game, he was back. I will say it's done to a tough look? Today I clicked on one Ronaldo slender post

and I just got force fed them.

And I was just peppering Zach with them. The I Show Speed jumps over Ronaldo clip where it's just, it's perfectly set up where I show speeds like, all right, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it, I'm gonna do it. Then he jumps over a trash can. Oh, just chef's kiss, perfect. insane vertical from speed.
