Summary

The World Cup has come to an end, but feuds off the field are just heating up, especially between former USMNT coach Gregg Berhalter and Danielle and Claudio Reyna, parents of snubbed U.S. soccer player Gio Reyna. Daily Show writer Joe Opio and lighting designer George Gountas, our in-house soccer experts, break down the drama and even make their casting picks for the Hollywood movie that will surely come out about this. They pay tribute to the Brazilian soccer legend Pelé, Joe recaps his trip to Qatar with royalty, and George fills us in on why he almost missed the World Cup Final.
