500's coming up.

Next Monday is the big 5-0-0.

Lots to get to on this edition of the show.

We will, of course, as you see at the bottom of your screen there, talking about the game that just ended between Mexico and South Korea, a dramatic two-two draw.

We will also talk about what happened tonight in South America. You see what it says on the graphic there. It says, Vamos Venezuela. We don't want to give it away too much, but it didn't go exactly as the plans. We're almost all right. Or our good friend, Ale Marena. We'll talk about that in a little bit, but let's start this edition of the show

with the United States men's national team

who are taking on Japan in Columbus.

Interesting lineup from Mauricio Pocetino in this one.

Five changes from the team that we saw against South Korea.

We'll pick this one up seven minutes in. Christian Polisick on the ball, just what you want, but he fires over the bar, Erk. Yeah, Fuller and Balligan, nice little layoff. Policca shoots it wide, a little high over the bar, and they'll have another chance. U.S. further attack in the 18th minute. A nice hookup between Polisic and Baligan. and ball with a chance to open the scoring men Zendezza on a header, but still PC Zero.

So much of both these attacks started with good high pressure, winning the ball,

forcing mistakes from Japan, and we're just unable to capitalize early.

The left side, pretty dangerous for the U.S. in the first half. Max Arfston, the service and

sendejas. How about that for a volley? Gollazzo. Give all the credit in the world to Max

Arfson taking his player on does very well beautifully swung in but this volley right here.
