Summary

A joyous Brendan and Rebecca breathe sighs of relief as the U.S. and England both advance to the knockout rounds. Brendan complains about not sitting down for an hour and a half, while Rebecca complains about which players rested the final 30 minutes in a 3-0 win. They cover Christian Pulisic’s thrilling goal (and painful injury) and the harrowing final minutes of the U.S.–Iran match, and attempt to answer an important question: Is England actually any good? Then, “Dutch in 60” takes on a whole new meaning as the pair preview this weekend’s U.S.–Netherlands and England–Senegal games.
