DFS and gambling. With over five years of hot takes and millions of downloads later, I guess he's been doing something right.

Now, sit back and listen to one of the sharpest minds in the game.

Here's your host, Duane Calendar.

All right folks, so we are continuing on. This is part two of the World Cup preview.

Interesting on the back end

some of these match-ups with the group stages

you know from my perspective You've got a very interesting dynamic in group B between Spain and Germany because you know, everyone expects Germany to advance and I'm not saying that Japan is a world beater. But there's a real chance in my opinion that if

you're going to get an upset and somebody gets knocked out, it's going to be Germany

and it would be to the likes of Japan where Japan I can see a scenario where Japan can get in and it's a it's a it's a little it's a little bit tricky because from the way I

look at the group stage and you got to like bear mind in terms of how the schedule plays into it.

Because the first matchup in group B for Germany is Japan and I can see a scenario where Japan manages to draw with Germany and I know

people are going to say that's crazy but Japan

actually has decent talent that can attack the Minamino plays for Liverpool he he used to play at Monaco good striker

good touch like Japan can actually score on this Germany squad in my opinion because

Germany has not looked good in a couple of years.

They didn't have a good euro.

They didn't look good in Nations League.

It's an, you know, they've been cycling out their older players, but I would say that when they

went through qualifiers, they had such a cupcake schedule that you know

I still I'm still not sold on this Germany is what I mean you got Leroy Sonnet, you got Kai Haverts who

literally is one of the most inefficient strikers you will ever see. I mean I I keep saying it like I am I'm very interested in this
