All right, everybody. Welcome back, Sam's army episode 2.203. We got a lot to talk about

0:10.2

this week. We're going to start off with headlines where we got some FIFA stuff, some US

0:17.0

Mexico stuff, and, uh, unless all-star game talk. Then we will hit weekly, what if a hypothetical

0:25.4

about where your club would be today, if not for the current owner. Premier League, we

0:31.5

had a few results, smattering results, some fun things to talk about in Arsenal world,

champion. So you like, when you, I know there's different strategies here, but you put in

1:40.8

different brackets for different pools, rather than all your, yeah, I only had one bracket

1:46.1
