Welcome to the Total Soccero World Cup Daily from our Los Angeles World Cup headquarters.

What a game Norway versus France could have been if Norway had decided they wanted to go and try and win.

Instead for the Nordics, it was a bit of a melee as their B team got turned over with a hat trick from Dembele.

Group H is done, and Spain is the ruler.

After a flop from the team with the man sitting on the cooler,

Belgium reached new heights when they dominated the all whites.

And Cape Verde have truly left their mark.

It turns out the tournament's dark horse is actually a blue shark.

My name's Ryan Bailey. Join in me today. It's the one and only Joe Larry. Hi, Joe.

Hey, Ryan. For audio listeners, that was definitely the first time that we did the intro. We had no

technical difficulties that preceded it. So I'd never heard that before. And so I will just say,

Ryan, Blue Shark, Dark Horse, that is elite level work. Maybe my favorite intro that preceded it. So I'd never heard that before. And so I will just say, Ryan,

Blue Shark, Dark Horse, that is elite level work.

Maybe my favorite intro that you've done.

And it's commemorative of our last show together here in LA. Indeed, not like New York, New York. So good, they named it twice. I only said that once. That's right. I never heard it the first time. I mean, what? for just this one time.

Keep going.

Hi, Gary Muthman. How are you?

Hello. I'm very well, Ryan Bailey.

And for the first time, I'm going to tell you, Rutherland. How are you? Hello. I'm very well, Ryan Bailey.

And for the first time I'm going to tell you about my joke of Taylor Rockwell not being here. And the reason he's not here is because he's at Disneyland tonight. He had such a good time on Rise of Resistance. He hadn't sampled World of Color. It was a bit gutted that we left early the other night. so he's decided he wants to try that before we go home.

He said specifically, let me see the fountains.

Yes.
