We've had the games, we had a little politics,
we've had some social media outrage. We've had,
we've had it all in these last couple of weeks. This has been a great tournament.
Come on, Max. I need you to, to get behind it. There's only a few games left.
We're only going to have this once in our lifetime potentially. So come on.
But yeah, today's a big one. It's a big one. France and Morocco.
And I see you have the France jersey on. And so they,
they, the stars on the top, what does that mean?
I'm not necessarily a France fan. I just have a lot of jerseys,
but here I'm just to, to wear this as an example.
There are two stars on this French crest.
That means that they have two world cups.
So any team that wins gets a star added to their badge.
Brazil has five, Argentina has three, Uruguay has four,
even though they've only won two world cups,
but they have two other world championships from the Olympics that happened
two years before that. Yeah. Ancient times.
And okay. So those are the teams that are kind of Uruguay's out of it,
but those are the, it's only four teams left. Argentina,
England, France, and Spain that have actually won world cups.
And then there's four other underdog teams that are there right now.
We got a good, we got a good dynamic right now, right?
Yeah. If you like to cheer for underdogs,
you got four teams to pick from and hope that at least one of them gets to the
final. And that's going to be tough because they've all got hard games.
We're looking at one of those teams. I wasn't sure how this,
this video was going to play, but the, what we're looking at,
you can pause it right here, Tyler, if you can. So this guy right here,
I don't know if there's been, if you're a soccer fan, you know, Erling Haaland,
okay. The Viking from Norway who plays on Manchester city in the premier league.
But I think for a lot of sort of casual soccer fans who only get into it in the
world cup, this guy has really been the star of the tournament. Would you,
is that fair to say?
Yeah. I mean, he's taken over the timelines of non-soccer fans. Uh,
all girlfriends across the nation are now seeing Erling Haaland on their
timelines and they're singing his songs and stuff. They have no idea who he is,
but you know, it is what it is. That's part of soccer mania.
I think at the last game he gained like 10 million followers just for knocking
out Brazil.
And so he's from Norway, uh, Norway upset Brazil.
And now they take on this guy right here, Harry Kane. Um, that's,
that's a big game. Uh, so talk to us, but before, before we talk to that,
let's talk about who's on our screen right here. And that is Kylian Mbappe.
They're going to be playing Morocco. Um, kind of give us a little preview.
What should we be thinking about with this game? Pause it right here, Tyler,
in our video.
I mean, obviously Kylian Mbappe is the star,
but like you can name so many stars on the French team.
They have Michael Alise, Ousmane Dembele, Desiree Doué.
There's so many like talented players that if one of them is not on their A
game, then the others can step up. They're like a Hydra. You know,
you cut off one head, three more eyes. And it's,
and it's very intimidating what France have in their attack,
but they're also really talented in the defense with Ibrahim Konate and William
Saliba. So this, you know,
you never know what you're going to get with most teams in the world cup,
but with France, you pretty much do know what you're going to get.
You're going to have a really tough game. Paraguay held them pretty well. Um,
you know, they only won one nil. I was at that game. It was very hot.
But overall like France, you know, they're, they're highly contestable.
So,
and they're playing Morocco and Morocco is one of the African
teams that really, I mean, just,
I think surprised a lot of people this year. I mean,
all the African nations did very well. Um,
and Morocco is sort of the last one standing at this point and they have a shot
here, right? They got a decent chance, uh,
depending on how things go against Spain today. I mean,
not Spain against France today. What do you, what do you think?
Yeah. Morocco typically has done very well in the last two world cups,
especially, um, 2022 and in 2018. So this is not necessarily,
this is the one African team that you would probably expect to get this far.
Egypt obviously had a very good shot and, uh, that didn't go as expected,
but I think Morocco,
you should never sleep on them and they have shown that that North African,
like, uh, those, those Algeria and Morocco,
they get kind of influenced from the tiki taka,
like beautiful football that Spain has. It just kind of leaks into the,
the Northern Africa.
So you'll see a lot of technical players up at the top of Africa and the further
South you get, the more robust things get. It's really interesting.
All right. Um, and, uh, Tyler,
let's scroll ahead a little bit on that view that we were just looking at the
one with Norway and the Viking. Um, all right.
So Norway has been this sort of, uh, uh, just team that kinda,
I think for a lot of people came out of nowhere. Um,
talk to me a little bit about their journey this year and what they have going
on.
Well, it kind of started off with, uh, Martin Odegaard.
He was the youngest ever player for Real Madrid at 16 years old. And, you know,
we hear a lot about Erling Haaland, but their captain Odegaard,
he plays for Arsenal. He just won the premier league. And, uh, he's,
he's been a formative part of this team and how it's,
how it's been kind of under the spotlight.
Obviously they missed out in the last world cup.
Erling Haaland was the only player that was left in Manchester city's training
ground while the, all the other players were at the world cup.
So this is his moment to shine. And obviously he missed one game. Uh, didn't,
didn't play against Brazil, but they ended it. He's,
he's got seven goals in this tournament. So like you give the ball to him,
he's going to score. He's lethal. He's a predator. He's,
he's just everything that kind of you want in a superstar.
And when you have those two who Odegaard pulling the strings in the high press
and then Norway, obviously with, uh, with Erling Haaland striking up top,
it's a, it's a deadly duo.
And the rest of the team just kind of, they're not pedestrians, but they're there.
Yeah. And, uh, uh, talking about England, um, who was also on that,
that VO that we were looking at there, Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham. Um, yeah,
there's Bellingham scoring the goal against Mexico,
that game against Mexico city, one of the best games you'll see. Um, so yeah,
talk about England because I think England, you know, they,
they are always right there. It's,
it's just amazing to me that so few teams historically have ever won the world
cup. And only England is only one at once.
They've always had so many great players and it always seems like it's like, Oh,
England, they're going to do well,
but then they're going to just sort of disappoint. But it seems like these guys,
uh, Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, uh, and that whole crew that they have there,
it seems like, you know, it's not going to be,
it's going to be a good game between Norway and England.
England fans are very cynical of their own team too,
but that makes sense because they haven't won the world cup since 1966.
And that was when their tournament was at home.
I think as far as their team now,
they actually have some like a team that can galvanize them and they can get
behind. You have Jude Bellingham, you have Harry Kane,
but you also have Bukayo Saka, Declan Rice and Mark Gahee in the back.
I think there's just so many good players that they're,
and they're also used to playing against Holland in the premier league who plays
from Manchester city week in and week out. So they have this experience there.
They're probably afraid of him, but they're less afraid than, you know,
other nations would be if they have the experience. Um,
but obviously they showed us as at the Azteca in Mexico that they're, you know,
they're, they're resilient. They can score back to back,
but their problem has been that once they score,
they tend to kind of leave the floodgates open in the back.
And then they just immediately concede,
fall apart and things get really hectic and crazy.
I think if they can score and hold that lead and not look so scared,
then they can definitely make it to the semis.
In my group stage prediction video,
I said England were going all the way to the final. Do I believe that now?
I don't really know. Uh, it's, they have to get through Norway to do that.
And honestly, I'd love to see Norway get all the way.
Both are really good stories to me. I'm an England fan just because I, I love my,
my arsenal boys that are on the team, but I, this could go either way for me.
All right. And it's the, it's the tightest game of the quarterfinals.
I think so. I think you're right. Um, I'm going to skip over Spain and Belgium.
Uh, Belgium beat the United States.
They kind of put the U S back in its soccer place, which was unfortunate.
Spain sort of is the, the, the,
one of the favorites that is kind of underwhelmed,
but I want to jump to Argentina, uh,
because Argentina is coming into this game against Switzerland coming off of,
I mean, a very big controversy. You know,
you and I posted that video on Instagram yesterday to the Fox five NY page sort
of going through it. But, um, how do you see, uh,
how do you see Argentina right now?
Well, just, just cause it feels wrong to skip over it.
Spain haven't conceded a goal yet.
So like that's just something worth mentioning and the entire tournament. Uh,
but as far as Argentina is like, yeah,
they have this thing where they just turn it on when they feel like it.
And against Egypt, you saw that.
I think when you have Lionel Messi on the pitch,
anything is possible and you saw him inspire a comeback. How many times now?
I think that shows a major weakness in Argentina.
I think they're too lax days of cool. I think they're, they're just not on it.
And yeah, they can score goals and win it and ride that momentum.
But how sustainable is that? I don't know. This is not the same Argentina.
You saw them emotional after that last game. They're like,
we got away with it again.
You didn't see them crying after the games in the,
in the world cup that they just won in 2022. So this is, this is different.
It has a weird feeling about it. Uh, especially with,
there are controversial VAR decisions, you know,
about the second goal for Egypt being ruled offside or sorry,
being ruled as a foul, even though it happened so far back in the pitch.
And that is just like, when does, when is VAR supposed to intervene?
There's so many questions that are left on the table about this, but you know,
if we were to set that to the side, Argentina fought back and they won and
Switzerland, do I see them as
