Hey, happy Thursday to you all. Welcome to Football America. He is Shaka His Love. He is Hercules Gomez.

He was treating us to some story time right before we went on air. Now I'm intrigued, but...

It's in the middle of it. Yeah, there's a... It's a middle of the story. I don't know what kind of story is that? We were in Miami, Ramadrid versus Barcelona, El Classico in the USA. Reminiscent about that and then Sebastian Salazar and Alejandro Moreno, Sebi wanted, or no, Ali wanted to kill Sebi because you got him sick. Oh, we're saying this on here. Okay. You asked me.

Yeah, no, it's fine. I didn't ask you to finish the story, but now I know. It's fine. I just don't know the context of it. That was it. That was it. That's the whole story. All right. Speaking of the whole story, here's the whole story that you can expect here on Football America's coming up.

Peppy interview sits down for a few minutes here with story. Here's the whole story that you can expect here on Football America's coming up.

Peppy interview sits down for a few minutes here with ESPN. Later, we're going to talk about the Madrid Derby this coming weekend and Vinie Jr. versus Julian Alvarez. And we will tell you

our bets on that. Maybe her copy me, maybe not, but we'll discuss that a little later on.

I'm trying to get all the shots in I can get right now because the end of the show is not going to be good for me.

And maybe this won't be good for the maybe loyal football fan or maybe it'll be good for, I don't know, somebody out there, a 64 team World

Cup. Yeah, from a medium to a large World Cup. That's what FIFA is considering for the 2030 World

Cup after Conmebo leaders gave FIFA a formal pitch Tuesday at headquarters in New York. Remember

the first time that we heard about this was back in March. So come the world president,

Alejandro Dominguez was among the execs present in the meeting,

along with FIFA president,

Janifantino, representatives from Paraguay, Uruguay, and Argentina.

So, I mean,

it seems like they're taking strides to make this happen, Shaq.

I heard your, oh boy. So that's what you're thinking about.

I think 48 is already saturated.

I didn't think the tournament needed or should have expanded beyond 32 teams.

That was just about right for me.

48 just, again, see, it was just too saturated to start with.
