Summary

First Take is all in on the Shamrock Shocker! Jaylen Brown is headed to the Sixers for Paul George and a bevy of picks.

Welcome to First Take. I'm Courtney Cronin.

So much to get into with a blockbuster that took up the Eastern Conference by sending Jalen Brown to the Celtics, from the Celtics to the 76ers.

0:44.8

We're going to have Kendrick Perkins, Vince Goodwill, joining us momentarily. But I've got my man, David Dennis Jr. and former Team USA Forward Hercules Gomez here to kick things off with a huge victory for the U.S.

0:55.4

in the World Cup, the U.S. defeating Bosnia 2-0 in the round of 32 late last night, but the

1:01.9

biggest story is a controversial red card given to their top goal score, Filarin Balagan, in

1:08.5

the second half.

1:10.2

Balagan collided with Bosnian defender Tarek Mujarimovich just inside the U.S. attacking third.

1:17.1

So VAR, which is the video review system that FIFA uses in the World Cup,

1:21.7

determined that the Baligan had raked his cleats down Muharimovich's foot and ankle,

How devastating is this loss of Balagan for the U.S.? It is devastating, and it could tilt the series in Belgium's way. This is a pickum in Vegas terms, this Belgium versus U.S. men's national team without a follower in Baligan. He was the ex-actor for the U.S. men's national team. Landon Donovan had a World Cup where he scored three goals. Before that, you've got to to 1930 to find another forward with three or more goals. Follorn and Baligan had the ability in this World Cup to battle the world's greatest forwards for the Golden Boot. Now, I'm not trying to get crazier. This is realistic. The way the U.S. Men's Nationally is playing, the way Foller and Balgland is playing, he had the ability to climb the goal

scoring charts.

2:18.6

Now the US men's national team will face a very talented Belgium team without one of their

2:22.6

best players.

2:23.6

Yeah, when you talk about X factors for Team USA, this is an X factor and not having him
