Mercy that we are going through we are gathered here to watch Argentina versus Ecuador Lono Messi’s last ever Copa Meda and it could be over tonight because that could was tough and Argentina hasn’t exactly looked convincing this tournament to be fair neither has Ecuador but it will be interesting to see how this one goes kendri payz is starting how are we doing guys smash that like button if you haven’t done it already we’ll go over lineups here in just a second I’m going to be a little bitow energy happy 4th of July though uh to anybody who’s celebrating it’s not the greatest Fourth of July if you’re a usmnt fan to be honest um lot still going on you know a lot of drama yesterday final decision on Greg has not been made from what I’m hearing there are Financial concerns there’s right now two camps there’s one camp this is what I’m hearing from my sources okay one Camp I’m hearing thinks that Greg should not be fired on sporting Merit God I love you as soccer uh and the other half is saying well whether that’s true or not you know we’re under a lot of pressure from sponsors and fan groups and you know donors as well so going to 2026 is important for us to have their Goodwill so even if we don’t necessarily think a new coach is going to change anything we probably sell have to fire him like that is the level of stupid can you imagine and go to US soccer sometime and look at these board members that are on this board absolute idiots like they’re most of them are nobody’s you’re like huh who’s this why are they running soccer in my country you know why because they’re a bunch of yes [ __ ] that’s what they are anyways how are you guys doing smash that like button if you haven’t done it already gonna try and distract oursel here hopefully you know Argentina Ecuador gives us a good game so basically if they’d have their way they’d 100% keep bur halter I think that would be pref preferable both financially and I also did hear get ready for this that Crocker was on the phone this morning with Adams and pulisic and both of them were endorsing Greg I don’t understand how we manag to get a generation of players that is so deeply in love with being [ __ ] deeply in love with it what’s up bud Taco is also unhappy want to say hi Taco cam say hi fist pump fist pump yeah a boy good dog all right did the players even get a say well I don’t know they’re trying to get they shouldn’t have a say based on how it went last last time we gave them a say they should absolutely not have a say absolutely not so we’ll see what happens moral of that story is keep the pressure up don’t there’s an element where they go oh you know um maybe over time you know the outrage and the anger will die down and then you know if we have a successful Olympics people will be excited then can sneak Greg back in there we’ll get Marco mitovich to say that it was Greg’s TX that did well do be relentless with this pressure we cannot quit until they announce Greg out it’s in the balances right now it’s in the balances right now that’s the truth all right let us take a look at the starting lineup going to be a little of a low energy stream today unless Argentina Ecuador picks me up all right here we go Argentina Ecuador lineup for Argentina 442 Emmy Martinez in goal back line of Molina Romero Martinez and tagao Midfield four well Midfield two really is mallister and uh Fernandez and then you have Rodrigo depal and Gonzalez on the left and right um Laro Martinez and of course Lionel Messi up top in a nice 442 for Ecuador it’s a 4321 um with Dominguez in goal backline evangelo prei Torres poo and H capier in capier playing as a left back for most of this tournament in Midfield they’ve got of course Moes cisero Alan Franco and Carlos corzo kendri pz and Jeremy sento are the two attacking midfielders with Valencia up top kendri pz just 17 years old but don’t worry guys because Jim curtain told me that the one of the the mo best young players in the world is Cavin Sullivan so it doesn’t really matter what Kenedy pz does right or estal any of these guys that doesn’t matter we’ve got a guy who’s starting to play an MLs NE Pro oh yeah let’s get excited about that idiot all right who do you guys have for this game um I think Argentina they could go out today Messi was supposed to be injured and was supposed to start on the bench um yeah Messi was supposed to start on the bench but he didn’t so this is so this is the again so you know how Tack and I say we don’t listen to a lot of these a lot of these other you know people even even scuffed wants Greg out though Velasquez said it’s just for the sake of change and a new manager won’t make a difference so I didn’t listen to the podcast I don’t listen to scuffed stopped listening to them a long time ago if he did say that you guys can draw your own con conclusions on just how phenomenally stupid that is but it does sound like the exact same narrative that’s sort of going around us soccer right now doesn’t it well that should tell you everything you need to know about scuffed all right no extra time that’s right right no extra time so if it ends up in a draw guys it will go straight to penalties that’ll be kind of nice so we don’t have to be here for two and a half hours all right uh let’s see other than that you guys have to help me pick the um Underdog fantasy picks today okay all right so I’m going to go with either a goal and assist for Laro potentially three shots attempted higher or lower Carlos guo nah let’s see Alan Franco no tagao no Angelo pre nah let’s go back up here to the top leono Messi five shops attempted doubtful doubtful um Dominguez higher than 4.5 saves uh also doubtful um Emiliano Martinez not a good one there Willian Pacho kendri pz Ander Valencia Rodrigo depal nothing too interesting there what happened to they had what’s his name it wasn’t Emmy Emmy Martinez it was uh so Messi one goal or assist is likely so let’s do that one goal or assist for Messi that seems likely um and then Kennedy pz cards Ander Valencia scor Jeremy sento Two Shots attempted I don’t know guys there’s not a lot of great ones that’s the problem let’s go with higher than three saves for emilano Martinez all right and now we have to pick one from Ecuador I think anner Valencia scoring a goal is possibility all right so $10 in if I get all of them correct I get $134 okay so we’ll see what happens though so just for review play confirm all right so these are my picks a goal or an assist for Messi a goal or an assist for anner Valencia actually no a goal for and Valencia and Emiliano Martinez has to make at least three saves which I think is very possible for this Ecuador team okay and by the way if you want to play use my code 11 Yanks and you will get uh Underdog will match your deposit $250 $250 right so that is that let’s see what happens here today national anthems are being played use my code thank you Darius very much appreciated very much appreciated yes I am Tyler yes I am it’s fantasy sports very many people all over this country play it they are responsible of the channel and if you don’t like it uh that’s your problem buddy not mine thank you very much when is the usmnt game LOL LOL nice trolling though nice trolling though should Tanner go to yeah I mean you know he’s not going to go to inter this season he’s going to go back on loan to Vena he kind of wants to go to Torino is what I’m hearing which is why the deal is being held up because they want to loan him back to uh Venia but he’s like nah so we’ll see ah very hard for Ecuador Ecuador to score any goal what do you think I mean I don’t think it’s that hard it’s doable it’s doable it all depends how they show up right smash that like button if you haven’t already guys we have let’s see 30 likes and almost 200 viewers come on now let’s get that up to 100 at least how is your day Fourth of July going Pete uh not great to be honest not I decided not to do anything because I’ve been through the roller coaster the last few weeks this the whole month of June was nuts I think I I was on like just got back from traveling went again to Chicago came back from Chicago left two days later from Missouri can it’s just been a lot the whole month of June with everything you know going on um so I decided just to take it easy my girl is working today so just kind of taking it easy today and and really just focused on we got to get rid of Greg B alter we got to get rid of Greg Balter but how is your guys Fourth of July going I’m going to try and not bring you down with my bad attitude here game is a couple minutes away from kickoff any minute now see if we can get this clock going properly good time for scrapbooking ah sunburn are you anybody at the beach anybody at the beach who do I have I think Argentina will squeak through one zero I think Argentina will squeak through One S what do you guys have who do you think wins this and by what score put your put put your score predictions in the chat [Music] below 31 from Stephen Nishi uh 442 for Argentina uh crazy G says one Zer or two Z Argentina Argentina 3-1 people are going big for Argentina huh SL says one nil Ecuador I think that’s realistic a lot of heavy wins for Argentina here two 2-1 40 I doubt very much depends if they score early then yes it’s very possible 1-1 Argentina on penalties that could be interesting that could be very interesting Felix Sanchez yall remember Felix Sanchez used to coach Qatar he actually coached against Ecuador in Qatar as the qari coach how does Balter rank against other usmn coaches of the past is he the worst absolutely he’s the worst to to to get grouped at Copa amera with the talent that He has nobody came close to that nobody came close to that he’s absolutely the worst and and also the worst human being all right why did they bring the ball in a cardboard box weird all right you guys ready games any moment from kicking off lar Martinez to kick off here and and let’s go all right game is kicked off Argentina currently in possession Greg fans want to be all about results except we can’t count the Copa result against him are there any Greg fans left apart from Craig Walters who knows who knows maybe the US soccer board rough times boys and girls rough times Mexico fans I like the timer yeah it’s just my iPad it’s just my tab that I’m using as a timer unknown Revival to be Pro Balter he did get us out of a group with England and Iran which are pretty decent level opponents from their respective areas okay he got us out of a group with Iran and Wales it was the easiest group at the World Cup it was the easiest group at the World Cup we should have gotten out of that group that’s nothing special nothing special okay nothing special at all yesterday you said 99% chance he’s gone what would you put that percentage at today Matthew about the same about the same I really do believe he’s still gone Argentina still has the ball they just haven’t done anything with it very slow start to this game very slow start to this game a lot of Ecuador not really pressing that back line here they’re just sort of passing along that back line uh the supporter groups on Facebook have a very small but vocal number of Greg supporters I often get the sense that they’re just contrarians or the embodiment of the ACT me yeah supporters groups are idiots I’m not supporters groups the Facebook groups people I’ve seen I know who you’re talking about they’re like anybody in here who criticizes burh halter is a dumbass we love him there I’ve I’ve been on those Facebook groups I know what you’re talking about there’s some real mentally unwell people there and not just because they like B halter like some other stuff day to is like oh okay these are these people are not well so what I’m hearing Matthew o is that Crocker is actually on the keep Triple G side and ultimately it it it’s his decision apparently apparently it’s his decision and from what I heard actually he’s kind of on the uh keep Greg he’s like a big Greg Stan I also heard from a new Source it’s an unconfirmed source that he was not actually in the US for the Uruguay game even though he’s the [ __ ] sporting director and decided to go back to England so he could get ready to watch England versus Switzerland and he was pissed off that he had to come back after we lost and deal with the situ situation Argentina still just passing it around the back and Ecuador refusing to press this is kind of weird Derek Rishi saying yes it is all on Betty Crocker and he loves him some Greg yes he does of course a red coat [ __ ] Red Coats of course he loves Greg he loves how [ __ ] he makes us and as an Englishmen they too are in love with [ __ ] he probably thinks Gareth Southgate is the best coach ever he’s like Gareth Southgate is the greatest coach beela could learn so much from Gareth really could [ __ ] [Music] Muppet Matt Crocker no Matt Crocker is English watch they fire Southgate and then us oh my God that be [ __ ] I still rather have South Gate than Greg honestly I would still rather have uh Southgate than Greg I I’m I kid you not it’s a matter of principle at this point even though I don’t really think Southgate is much better if any better to be honest you are two minutes behind yeah I’m watching on um I’m watching on fubo TV s27 says P how will you react if they bring Greg back I’m struggling to be enthusiastic about this I mean I’m trying to not think about it but bringing Greg back would be a catastrophe I don’t know exactly what I would do but I would have to reconsider my options about what I’m going to do because I don’t I don’t know if I’ll have the energy to keep covering this team and keep trying to grow the game in this country when US soccer is so staunchy against it Valencia oh saved in transition [Music] o tight one uh if he didn’t like coming back maybe you don’t keep Triple G so it doesn’t happen again you would think you would think but this man loves him some Greg burh halter loves him some Greg berhalter uh think yoim low would be a good fit for us MNT and how realistic do you think it can be the problem with wakin yoin is that he hasn’t worked in a long time he’s been out of a job for a very long time now and he really only has that one Germany job it’s weird that he hasn’t gotten a job since um so I don’t know about that I think there are better options personally Alo they’re showing the replay on the goal nice little ball over the top great header down from kaiso oh damn that was close Greg is 100% not getting fired that is not true it’s definitely not 100% it’s not even [Music] close is Matt Crocker actually Welsh I thought he was English let’s look this up Matt Crocker load of [Music] Croc oh he is Welsh you are correct I apologize to my English Brethren Matt Crocker is Welsh he is not English we shall not voice that title upon him and we shall not his idiocy upon you all right Ecuador have the ball the game started a little slowly to be honest Ecuador looked have looked more dangerous than Argentina so far kaeto kaiso manages to create some space here can Valencia oh Al kao’s down sheep shagger though Matt if you don’t fire Greg we won’t go to games well I tweeted this morning let me read you what I tweeted because I’ve been hearing some about some financial [ __ ] so I tweeted and 1,200 people liked this tweet 113 people retweeted it if US soccer is considering the financial repercussions of firing Greg Balter just wait till they see the financial hit they’ll take from keeping him tickets ratings and sales will all plummet as fans lose interest in this travesty of a team yeah I really want Greg back he has done wonders for my back oh Lord [Music] I mean look the three main Sam’s Army b 76 and American Outlaws all came out asking for Greg to be fired right all the big influencers the soccer influencers in this country of called for him to be fired the media has called for him to be fired literally the only people who don’t want him to be fired are pulc Adams and [ __ ] Crocker oh Ecuador looking pretty decent so far sento pressing oh he’s G oh he almost got there they won the second ball though ball in behind oh cross is blocked oh oh oh corner corner for Ecuador what do you mean language man we’re adults in here I’m not gonna mind my language every time I talk about anybody in US soccer any language is appropriate so don’t tell me to mind my language Oh short short one for Ecuador o Ecuador have looked much brighter than Argentina on this opening 10 minutes oh what a through ball oh keep it oh tackled oh well done good tackle good tackle by Molina there yeah knock him down yeah Matt Turner too but these guys are literally on the phone on July 4th hey Matt don’t fire Greg man oh okay all right that was not a foul [Music] though not the best having the NFL in charge of soccer well did you see that JT Batson today tweeting that everyone should watch LA Galaxy lafc like have some balls right the guy bent over and presented like a baboon for MLS when they said they weren’t going to play an open cup all right zero power zero coones zero anything and now he’s like hey don’t forget to watch the MLS game because my bosses wanted me to say that you should listen to straight red card if you’re offended by language exactly Intouchables 96 Pete slowly morphing into Derek Derek is that a compliment I think it’s a compliment dereck’s a cool dude I wouldn’t mind being Derek one day when I grow up oh foul on Valencia no oh come on Southgate England versus The Swiss be his 100th match in charge don’t worry I have a feel I have a good feeling about that game with Switzerland is ussf leadership surprised by the backlash I think Matt Crocker is I think Matt Crocker underestimated how much pressure there would be which is stupid like you don’t you didn’t have a pulse on the fan base that getting grouped in Copa medo was not enough I don’t know man 15 minutes in and Ecuador look a lot better A lot better yeah I gave them a bad review s27 oh my god oh ciso cedo oh sento oh saved oh my god oh oh my God oh my God God pz almost scored sento and pz almost scored wow yeah I told you Ecuador could win this I told you Ecuador could win [Music] this 15 minutes the question is first was sento and then say by Emmy Martinez bring back the air air fryer clock that that was only in Chicago that was only in Chicago Ecuador still has the ball oh my God ball in behind oh oh oh my God they almost scored again Ecuador oh my God pre just oh my God and Valencia with the cross and preiato just voled it just over o oh my God ball over the top for Argentina Messi to Laro is he offside doesn’t matter because they won the ball anyways he was offside so it’s called back free kick for Ecuador 16 minutes in tell Pete to get his ass in here at a hate watch what do you mean I am here oh you’re talking about you probably mean Tac t is probably enjoying his July 4th I don’t blame him at all it’s been a rough couple of days for everybody what do you think about Tanner tessman to inter um I don’t think he’s an inter player yet but he could still develop into one so I think it’s fine so long as there’s a plan for his development which it does seem like there is I’m not sure vsia is the best place because that’s a relegation team they’re be fighting relegation I just you know he’s be doing a lot of Defending I really think that inter brought him for what he can do on the ball and so I wonder if there’s maybe a better team they can loan him out to first I don’t know that vsia is necessarily the right place um you know Torino for me would be better here comes Ecuador again sento with the cross cleared up in the air corner corner for Ecuador hey Ecuador has looked like the better team for sure in 26 Nick Krueger too early too early for him he’s very young Diego coaching very young all right Ecuador plays it short oh cleared sento oh oh tackled now here comes Argentina transition yeah knock him down foul on Molina it sounds like even if they fire Triple G they won’t be ambitious with the next tire uh yeah that’s probably fair I don’t think they’re going after Jurgen claw if you guys like knew just how incompetent and corrupt and moronic this Federation is I think you might be surprised all right here comes Argentina Liam Richie says hey I’m new here came from tactical manager welcome hit subscribe Liam welcome big switch down to the left oh oh laid off cleared by Ecuador Argentina really haven’t created much at all do you like Gaga or Diego more at this point um I haven’t really seen much of Diego play Gaga you know they’re both very young Keepers Gaga is terrible with his feet that’s the difference between them Diego coachin was very much raised in the Barcelona system which requires you to be good with your feet problem with Diego coaching is Spain will come oh my god oh blocked o oh oh here comes Argentina cleared again they’re pressuring set outside the box we’re gonna have a shot from distance blocked again oh foul oh my God foul that’s a bad foul by Rodrigo depal that was a nasty foul on Valencia there oh okay he did kind of sell it though he definitely kind of sell it come on Romero that it was not uh Depo anytime an Argentine player fouls if they’re far enough away I can’t see them I just assume it’s depal but in this case it was Christian Romero Felix Sanchez looks so funny on the touch line he got are playing well though we been here come Argentina cleared how good is Patrick schy um he has a he’s been pretty reliable for for Columbus pretty steady and he’s still young enough he’ll probably start at the Olympics we’ll have to see how he does under real pressure the problem with a lot of these MLS goalkeepers is a lot of them are not very good with their feet a and B we don’t really get to see what they’re like under real pressure because there is no real pressure in MLS there’s no Stakes it’s Mickey Mouse celebration of soccer league right so there’s not a lot of stakes it’s hard to tell it’s like you have to kind of sometimes put a player in real hot water remember how good Matt Turner looked in MLS like definitely the best Keeper in MLS for a long time and then he goes to Europe and gets exposed we’ll see what shty looks like in the Olympics but I think of the under 23 Keepers right now he is the most advanced he’s also the oldest to be fair yeah I’m I’m watching the game tomorrow Germany versus Spain we’re all hoping we’re all hoping 24 minutes in Argentina have created almost nothing Ecuador look like the much better team for sure for sure all right Argentina passing out of the back I have to work tomorrow hopefully no one wants to talk about student loans are you a student loan officer Liam who you got in Spain versus Germany um I still have Germany I think Germany will win it I really do Spain looked have looked good but so have Germany if they can get you know Florian vs and Jamal musala F fit and firing together it’ll be great you work at the call center one of the servicers hey are you a my student loan serer who’s your Serv ah nice try Argentina down the right cutting it back we’ll see we’ll see s27 Christian has Spain all right I mean it’s a close game for sure it’s a close game Ruben VOR what are some objective measurable goals US soccer has for the remainder of this cycle in the next there are no objective measurable goals with us soccer Reuben there was only dumb sort of like talking point you know meaningless sort of buzzword type goals like we want to change the way America views soccer we want to change the way the World Views soccer well Greg you you you won you definitely did oh just wide just wide there by Fernandez from a header oh flashed it just wide improve improving the amoeba attack oh my God Messi came out of retirement for this give him a break I know that’s how much she loves Argentina to come out of retirement to play for Argentina when he was enjoying his retirement in Florida where most people go to retire can you blame him that he doesn’t look quite as sharp or as fit you cannot I love this new Matt Crocker he’s probably the same guy who does Greg berhalter and Jesse Marsh he just changes it depending on the topic we are really trying to do good we want Starbucks in the facility no money uh let’s see Pete I rarely receive a pre-announcement for your watch alone I don’t know man I scheduled them maybe you should have me on notification I don’t know how that works does anybody else get pre-announcement does anybody get a pre-announcement there goes your bet Pete wait what bet that Emmy Martinez would make what are you saying I have anner Valencia hire than I have anner Valencia Emmy Martinez higher than three saves Messi one goal or assist anner Valencia one goal it’s not over it’s only half an hour into the game what are you saying oh another tackle oh oh yellow for enner Valencia oh you thought Valencia was coming out I mean he might come out but okay but also he sold that oh he barely touched you get up get up do you prefer Chicago style pizza to New York style oh hell no Chicago style pizza is not pizza I don’t know why they keep calling it pizza that’s not pizza that’s pie it’s pie it ain’t Pizza I don’t like it personally and I know Chicagoans some Chicagoans will be offended Pete did you see the MLS soccer amoeba article no guys anything coming out of MLS soccer.com is driil it’s driil am what Matt Matt the cat owner Doyle who’s never played a game of soccer in his life was a journalism major and then just got a job in soccer because when he got there nobody else wanted to cover soccer the guy knows absolutely nothing about soccer okay he’s a hipster one of the very worst kind of hipsters who thinks they’re better than everybody else because they have a [ __ ] typewriter so anything that he writes about in soccer is absolute driil oh Pete you can’t say that that’s a red flag yes I can all right here comes Argentina down the rights that’ll be out for a throw all right my support with Greg hopefully he continues thank you Aaron’s long Aaron Long’s big stick your trolling is a much needed comic relief at this dark time oh ball through ball out goal kick go kick thought twist they fire Greg but bur halter has announced as the coach make hipsters great again they were never great they were never great they were always annoying quasi intellectuals come on eador this game has been dull let’s move it along here Argentina starting to press this is been a really slow paced game can Ecuador oh nice ball for enner Valencia but Romero steps up Argentina try to win it back all right 105 likes guys there’s 300 people watching Let’s Get It Up Tac asked me on the chat to ask me live on the chat to be a mod yeah you’re welcome to be a mod so long as you don’t you know

love for mediocrity and not just mediocrity but like Shi Hood their love for Shi Hood they all want to they pull all of them collectively pull an Amber herd and then they go oh yeah well you know the the the person who was in charge when we did it we quite comfortable with him maybe they like [ __ ] the bed and so they’re like this is great we get to keep Greg and [ __ ] the bed maybe it’s a fetish it clearly was for Amber herd this game turned me into an electric fan Derek have you heard anything more from your sources about what’s happening I I guess nothing’s happening today because everybody’s on holiday so I’m guessing not much oh get up ussf motto is simple mistakes management money yeah don’t watch the ptic P what also like why are they making a documentary about pul there is nothing interesting about him like he zero personality you notice that about pulisic he always gives the most Bland vanilla answers never says anything interesting it’s mostly sucking off Greg when he talks what’s the documentary gonna say yeah you know I got an apartment and you know as living here in Milan it’s been good and just really you know getting used to the culture and the food and you know it’s been great and um you know I love the city and my my dad lived in Italy when I was younger and so I feel like I have a connection to this town and and all the Milan fans have been great um all right what do you like to do in your free time Christian uh not much really I play some video games sometimes and you know I’m pretty simple guy like to talk to my mom on the phone it’s pretty much it oh here comes Argentina again what was this completely Mish hit volley [Music] there oh yet teched oh yet I have missed you how is your boy Greg berhalter doing these days remember how angry you used to get at us yetch it’s been a while it’s been a while and yet we were right and you were wrong so instead of going and hiding your head in shame you’re back here to talk more [ __ ] what happened to shame nothing clearly Pete do Jurgen clintsman reviewing the buising documentary ah he plays golf and loves Jesus yeah that’s pretty much it with pulic what are the Ecuadorian did they say were they shouting get that money bro what all right here comes Ecuador they haven’t created much ever since that messy goal it’s been pretty quiet on the Ecuador front not messy goal Argentina a goal poor Leandro Martinez I keep crediting his stuff to Messi I’ll be honest I’m pretty boring so I feel like I can relate to pulsi yeah but do you want to watch a documentary about nothing like I’m not watching it I it was a documentary about bre Shay it might at least be interesting even though he’s never a great player but Le it’s a documentary about some player with some personality right even Wes probably more likely to watch documentary at least Wes is entertaining Puli I just I don’t know like anybody even care what he says he’s just such a boring dude great player boring dude make he’s one of those guys that like if he wasn’t a soccer player you wouldn’t look at him twice he’s like nondescript would be the way to describe him h king of conaf after making it to the semi-finals what semi-finals you haven’t done [ __ ] yet all right all right Ander Valencia took him down Sparks are starting to fly the game is coming to life slowly Yan Canada Panama final incoming ah all conquer final in the end who’s Melton all right free kick for Argentina here I mean for Ecuador you’re trying to get the ball off of him wait what is happening now oh his girlfriend isn’t she isn’t she some golfer you imagine like golf golf I’m sorry if you tell me you play golf I just I don’t know if we’re going to like have anything to talk about because everybody I’ve ever met who plays golf is just so boring you know like there’s a reason that it was a sport invented by old white Protestants like golf at least frisbee I play Frisbee get dis golf at least that’s more fun you’re not just like Lumber Lumber you have to drive a little golf cart so that God forbid you don’t walk more than a couple hundred meters in the Sun come golf cart here maybe I can have somebody carry my bags too oh all right got to walk a few steps back to the golf cart let’s Rumble over to the next one I just don’t get it all right here they come they played it short Ecuador oh come on oh smashed into the mid riff he had the wind knocked out of him for sure yep we’ve all been there you got that ball smash into your solar plexus Alex katano says that hurts baseball is probably more boring than golf they’re equally boring boring equally boy Sports come on Pete I watch golf when I need to sleep you make business deals on the golf course yeah that goes to show you any sport that you’re not there for the sport you’re there for another reason that should tell you it’s not a sport it is a pastime it’s like playing tic tac toe like Matt Crocker did with Greg yes we’ve seen the go 100 times you don’t need to keep playing it why was the goalie inside the goal we get it Leandro you scored pipe down golf is the hardest sport it’s not a sport guys it’s not a sport if a sport has no athletic Endeavor it can you cannot call it a sport it’s not a sport it is a Pastime or a game but it is not a sport you never break a sweat you never move faster than quarter of a mile an hour it’s not a sport if you ride around if if you have transportation in the game itself oh oh leaving it down for Messi Messi’s been kind of Anonymous in this game if you have transportation okay vehicular transportation in the game itself it is not a sport literally of golf carts driving you around out half time all right what’s up buddy all the fireworks getting to you tacos getting a little scared but Pete not all sports requires running and sweating for your life I think there should be some level of athletic Endeavor in order to call it a sport what about NASCAR and Formula 1 is that really a sport I guess I guess you’re yeah I guess that’s a fair point that’s a fair point but those NASCAR drivers have to actually be fit that’s the difference golf players don’t have to be fit Garrett Coleman you absolutely how do you break a sweat playing golf how unless it’s like 102 degrees with 70% humidity yetch I could do whatever I want the mental stuff involved makes golf a sport okay but then you could say chess is a sport because there’s a lot of mental stuff involved in chess you can say Tic Tac toe’s a sport you can say pank is a sport right you can say sudu is a sport then hey it’s mentally very challenging let’s bring suduku into the Olympics what about the morning cross word in the New York Times that requires mental you know challenge mental challenge let’s call that a sport I didn’t start playing golf till I was like 35 years old but has become one of my favorite things to do look that doesn’t mean golf is bad it’s a Pastime you can enjoy look I play disc golf frisbee golf to me it’s not really a sport but it’s a very enjoyable p p uh Pastime it’s a very enjoyable Pastime I’m not saying you can’t enjoy it it doesn’t seem like something that I would enjoy but it’s definitely a challenging thing to do that doesn’t necessarily make it a sport what about Esports no no sport that you can play with your thumbs is a sport golf is more of a sport than darts yeah I agree Kelly I agree with that play out says I might I might enjoy go I might play golf if I could avoid golfers Bill stabio Pete is the next Gareth Bale oh wow yes I give up football for golf Justin Thompson says if mckenny can play soccer in the Copa you don’t have to be fit to play the highest level of soccer either Fair Point Fair Point drinking beer at the beach with Messi oh is this the messy ad for Ultra Michelob Ultra pickle ball I’ve heard good things about pick pickle ball have any of you played pickle ball I’ve never played it but I’ve heard it’s growing in popularity and it looks fun the times that I’ve seen it it’s definitely looked [Music] fun all right let’s take a look at the stats here halftime stats we’ll pull it up so far how has pz played in this game he’s been okay A little bit Anonymous has had one or two good moments he’s been okay otherwise Argentina versus Ecuador all right so Argentina with the halftime lead expected goals was 49 for Argentina or 0 49 I’m sorry and 0. five so neither of them that’s funny because I kind of thought Ecuador’s chances were better than Argentina’s I don’t know why they’re at 0. five on the XG Argentina clearly has possession right The Possession metrics are 64 to 36 um other than that big ch CH es about one each I’d say it’s been fairly even the only difference is that Argentina finished their chances and Argentina finished their chances and they didn’t right Ecuador didn’t so other than that I think the game’s been fairly even you could even make an argument you could even make an argument that Ecuador has actually paid played better than Argentina especially in the opening 10 minutes yeah sento was one-on-one with the keeper oh uh let’s see um thoughts on who’s going to win stream all games I don’t know honestly depending on how this stream did how much interest there was I know that t is Gonna Do Brazil I might do Argentina if there’s real in I mean the semi-final will be fun to do um Uruguay Brazil is going to be the last real interesting one you know I mean Columbia’s gonna play Panama come on we all know who’s going to win that one so there’s not it’s not going to be that exciting I guess is what I mean I might wait for the sem final but I might do Germany Spain tomorrow how many of you are watching Germany Spain I might stream Germany Spain tomorrow because that could be quite fun that one could be quite fun man Ecuador’s goalie it was like three feet into his goal all right you guys let me know or would you rather do France Portugal would you rather I’m gonna I’m gonna do one watch along probably I can’t do both so you guys tell me which one would you rather do France Portugal or Spain Germany France Portugal or Spain Germany let me know in the chat and you better show up I’m not going to set up the whole stream and do it if yall don’t show up I wish I could watch but stupid work Kelly Rawlings says Germany Jackson Z why not both because believe it or not doing a live watch along is exhausting you try talking for two hours straight it’s not easy more than two hours two hours and 15 minutes straight it’s not easy especially doing it by yourself so let me know which one you guys want to do France Portugal or Spain Germany earbud at work says played out yeah when of you work from home you think Spain will win the Euros I don’t know I think people are overrating Spain on one game personally Portugal France will be a snoozefest I kind of think so too Justin I kind of have that feeling let’s do a poll um yeah that’s that’s probably the way to do it let’s just do the poll all right start poll which Euro watch along should I do tomorrow Spain Germany France Portugal there’s your PO dog there’s your PO I mean to love CR7 but you need to do no my girlfriend actually doesn’t care she hasn’t watched any of Germany’s game you guys remember Jos Josie from the World Cup who’s on the channel my friend Josie she’s also German she’s the one that like after a Germany game we text about because Nat does not care Nat does not care in the slightest I think I voted on your poll first because it was 100% Spain when I clicked on it let’s see where it’s at now at the moment it’s 77% Spain and Germany whoa 82 votes and it’s clearly Spain and Germany guys Spain and Germany is way more votes than France Portugal it’s 78 now 78 to 22 all right so let’s have a look at my Underdog fantasy I still do not have a goal Messi didn’t get the assist on the goal right as far as I remember let’s take a look here did Messi get the assists I don’t think no it wasn’t Messi so sadly none of my picks yet now a Milano Martinez has made at least two saves right let me see how many saves a Milano Martinez has made here Emiliano Emmy Martinez he’s made one save what do you want the one from sento damn it okay we need at least two more saves for Milano Martinez then and we need both Messi and Valencia to get either we need Valencia to get a goal and Messi to get a goal or an assist all right let’s check in on this poll to see what you guys are asking for so with 126 votes 127 votes it’s currently 75% to Spain Germany keep answering that poll keep answering that poll we have uh 400 people in the chat right now and only 171 likes come on guys get those likes up [Music] if the ussf offered you the head coach job but they would pay you minimum wage would you take it uh so the last thing you would ever want is me coaching the national team because I don’t think unlike Greg berhalter I think that the national team deserves better than me but what I would probably do then is I’d be like hey I’m not Greg Balter so then what I’d do is I’d go hire some good assistant coaches to help me out and you know I would tell pul ack no more free kicks for you put Gio honestly I would make it a player Centric game and I would focus on things like intensity and accountability because that’s what these players need yeah exactly guys more people more people have voted in the poll than I’ve liked the stream kind of a disgrace come on guys come on now Vic D says glad you didn’t lose your voice you scared me on the Triple G meltdown on Monday yeah I also scared my next door neighbor who complained about me at the hotel I don’t like the Stream fair enough Plata fair enough Pete scaring the people yes I was all right one nil one nil up Leandro Martinez with the opening goal for Argentina terrible keeping though terrible keeping Don Garber your hotel neighbor ah actually it was Matt Crocker when I see there really hasn’t been have you guys heard a lot of fireworks I haven’t really heard that many to be honest I haven’t heard that many I mean it’s not quite dark yet it’s only seven here so I guess that’s understandable but some of you guys on the East Coast are you getting a lot of fireworks over there because usually usually there’s a lot more fireworks than this on July 4th you’re hearing them now it’s like World War II here huh I don’t know what happened to La La there’s been very few fireworks all right guys do you think that Ecuador can find The Equalizer here that is the question Irvine Cali California really in Irvine I haven’t heard anything all day I mean guys I don’t think setting off fireworks is a measure of how much you love your country there lots of ways a lot of people don’t do it because of animals it does ruin it does make it very tough for a lot of animals yes I did see clops Fourth of July tweet I even it wasn’t a tweet actually it was a Instagram post the timing is very interesting the timing is very very interesting yeah I think a lot of people don’t set them off because you know for an animal it scares a lot of animals a lot of dogs freak out run away from home get hit by cars get lost end up in shelters getting euthanized there’s you know Birds flee their nests rodents it’s just I mean I get it I love Fireworks myself but I get why people wouldn’t do it right I get PTSD from him yeah for anybody in the military July 4th is rough a lot of PTSD Jay Athens haven’t stopped since 8:30 here in Connecticut or Central Time and my four-month-old keeps waking up oh dude that’s rough Tyler Tyler says my cat gets scared my bario is like a war zone says n Michaels Pete I got banned from your Discord server unknown Revival I didn’t ban anyone I didn’t ban anybody I spend zero time oh second app is about to kick off I spend zero time on the Discord server unless I’m listening to people with their mics off that’s the only time I’m on the Discord server is when we do call-in shows my city is doing a drone show instead of firor Works interesting but that many drones how many drones are we talking because that many drones could get annoying very fast imagine if you had imagine if you had like hundred drones up ahead how annoying that would be so you don’t ban people I only ban people if they’re like racist or homophobic or like threatening VI I mean I don’t no I I’m not on Discord guys I only use it for calling shows I don’t have time I barely have time to be on Twitter and Instagram much l Pete off topic I don’t know if my girlfriend blocked me and she’s mad you don’t know if she blocked you what do you mean you don’t know if she blocked you are your messages going through you can usually see if your messages are going through all right so Ecuador on the ball now we’re in the second and half oh blocked throw in around the halfway line bro bring her a pie or something why are you so busy I never see you in anything on TV or film well believe it or not I work at least once or twice a month on TV or film um there are lots of things that you have not seen clearly user says on WhatsApp no not at all she hasn’t responded to me on her number I spammed her well that’s your problem right there what are you spamming her for did you do something to make her mad or are you being needy because girls hate that [ __ ] when you start getting needy hey babe why aren’t you answering me babe dot dot dot question mark this is getting ridiculous babe oh that is some that is some baen male behavior and I’m not saying you have done that I’m just saying don’t spam your girl say what you got to say then leave her alone let her come to you life is so much better when you make your girl come to you when you go chasing never a good sign Justin Thompson ignore her for two or three days she’ll crawl back there you go there you go Pete needs a relationship advice show my relationship advice show would just be don’t kick your wife like Greg berhalter I did and I told her I had some jealousy i e oh dude okay all right did you get jealous all right let’s hear your story what did you oh [ __ ] I forgot wait ah okay I’m about three seconds behind with the clock three seconds um that’s when you bring her bread if you’re needy oh okay Stephen uh Pete we need to write a book on chicks Derek your book is gonna be about dating your step sister let’s see um I saw a dude say his sources say Klo is a doneer yeah that’s silly um Plata user what did you do now so wait user you got her I did and I told her I had some jealousy I effed up I mean dude getting jealous is it’s understandable you can get jealous but a little bit of jealous girls don’t mind because sometimes they want sometimes they try to make you jealous on purpose but dude honestly girls who I don’t know if she tried to make you jealous on purpose or if like she was just talking to a friend and then you got jealous and needy generally speaking the way I deal with a woman even before that was like look here I am I’m I think I’m a pretty swell dude if you don’t want me if you think you can find better out there or something that’s better for you go for it I’m not out here trying to persuade you to like me or to be with me I I think I bring a lot to the table and you know what there are a lot of fish to in the sea if you’re not interested you think there’s better out there I wish you the best of luck I’ll even pay for your bus ticket like go for it I ain’t trying to convince nobody and that is really the best way to deal with women because when women have too high of a sense of value and they think they’ve got you in their pocket and you’ll do anything for them and that you absolutely need them then they don’t respect you and if a woman doesn’t respect you she will never love you that’s just the truth oh come on Ecuador her friend pranked me and I kind of got emotional that day then I got jealous because she was staying over at his house along with her friend’s M wait a minute so she’s your girlfriend this is starting to sound like a very questionable story I don’t know if this is even true um I got emot then I got jealous because she was staying over his house okay wait how old are you and how old is your girlfriend and is this a gay friend because if she’s like flirting and staying over this hot wait what with his mom what are you like 12 I’m so confused I’m so confused

sure this might be bait I think it’s bait it sounds like bait for sure doesn’t sound real oh wait is kaiso out oh no he’s the one that made the foul oh [ __ ] ah some of that looks Romero looks like he’s exaggerating that a little bit kaiso too both of them yeah 21 if you’re 21 guys and they’re he’s sleeping over at the house of another dude who’s just a friend that’s very questionable very questionable but I have a feeling your story is starting to sound like a soap opera so yeah sorry Nick Krueger says I feel like spicy Jeff would be a good romance advisor maybe so hey Derek are you still Derek you want to hop on you want to hop on then you can help give advice you probably have more experience with women than I do seeing his you’re 52 or whatever it is the dude got injured badly in an accident whoa story is getting weirder is she like giving him sponge baths is that what’s going on sponge baths for her her male friend and then you’re getting jealous and needy because she never gives you a sponge bath geez it’s getting weird man it’s getting weird but again you have to not give a [ __ ] I know that’s easier said than done but like if you’re getting all need oh then then she’s either she’s doing it to try to make you jealous on purpose or or she’s not going to respect the fact that you’re getting jealous like even if she is like okay Let Her Go Let Her Go show her you got a life show you got options if you’re there whatsapping her Hey You Never Give me sponge baths who is he is he really just a friend I don’t know feels weird Derek I’ll send you the link I’ll send you the link Plata says Derek’s hariry Grandpa chest would be more interesting than this fake story this is too weird to not be true John has a point it is a little out there to not be true she also gave his friend o special no big deal I mean on the off chancees is true the best thing you can do right now is like don’t don’t keep spamming her go on and live your life give for a couple of days let her reach out to you next but I will say if she’s out there staying over with her male friend and she’s your girlfriend officially questionable questionable Derek I’m sending you the link all right free kick here for Argentina wow really got sidetracked with that story huh any any of you listen to the bill bur podcast he does have the like Bill bur’s advice section sometimes people write in the wildest stuff some of them sometimes I listen to it and I’m like yeah that’s not real for sure all right let’s see uh Derek Derek I’ll send it in the group with tactical manager and Adam and straight red so hop on if you want it’s been kind of a dull game I have to say now this is the content we came for this sounds like a fake Bill bur story exactly Monday Morning podcast that’s the the one if you want a good comedy my two favorite comedy podcasts are the Monday Morning podcast by Bill Burr or the Monday the Thursday just before Thursday afternoon just before Friday Monday Morning podcast and also Tim Dylan I really like Tim Dylan all right clearance this game is Scrappy as hell not entertaining at all pleas is the Greg burh halter of us7 YouTube why is that oh through ball can he get there Romero oh what a terrible clearance corner for Ecuador can you answer my Super Chat oh I’m sorry did I miss one here is Jay Balter helping Triple G keep his job I don’t know I don’t know honestly could be I mean emls it it’s hard I don’t really know what’s going on but we know there’s collusion between US soccer and MLS for sure oh my God is that a penalty no kopier looked like he was pushed there was that a penalty ref says no all right Ecuador with the corner here come on Ecuador oh straight at Emmy Martinez caught it too easily 11 Yanks why are you ignoring me how am

can hear you now wait okay yeah sometimes I get that delay like you plug in the plug and for whatever reason the laptop’s like oh [ __ ] he just changed things let me think about it for a sec yeah celebrity crush we’re watching US Men’s National Team winning the World Cup uh at my age I just I’ll take the World Cup at this point yeah I don’t know if I have a celebrity crush I’m trying to think there are celebrity women that I kind of like um Eva Green Shakira sah hyek Alexandra Daario oh now the penalty penalty for Ecuador oh [ __ ] what time are you at okay I’m ahead of you I’m at 59 okay so I I won’t spoil anything don’t spoil it the chat is already spoiling it for me so I just won’t I just don’t look at the chat when this happens you think about is this a legit penalty ah who cares we’ll take it I mean we’ll take it [ __ ] oh well his arm was kind of out oh yeah Sydney Sweeney that’s a good shout Sydney Sweeney for sure you know who Sydney Sweeney is Derek I don’t most of my crushes were back when I was a kid so most of those women who is your celebrity crush are really really old now like okay so are they not attractive now that they’re old they’re older than me so what do you think I mean I don’t know so when you’re in your 50s are you attra then to like other women in your 50s or are you still attracted to women in their 20s and 30s or both what do you think I don’t know I’ve never been in my 50s before I mean I can see like you still being attracted to like a 25y old but maybe not wanting to date them because of the Gap might be difficult to talk about anything right I mean let’s just get this clear I’m not dating anybody ever again I’m done with that crap all right and it’s mostly because you know beyond 40 I don’t know men age not me in particular but most men age better than women do I’m just I’m just being honest here they do he’s like not me in particular well you know I’m gonna shave this beard off by the way oh yeah when I have weird I have some me important meetings I need to go to so I’m gonna have to shave them off shave oh you gotta do a stream with it shave for sure and you know I’m gonna look like 10 years younger I’m telling you right now people are going to be like where’s Santa Claus thought he was on this show show who’s this guy they’re not going to notice me or they’re not going to be able to recognize me I guess [ __ ] oh boy where are you uh 61 I’m at 6121 all right I won’t say anything kaedo or is it Valencia it’s Valencia taking it why is he taking so long let’s go come on oh post oh no he missed it oh [ __ ] yep you did that was their chance what a bummer I was kind of hoping Argentina would get knocked out oh man I wanted to at least see a shootout as much as shootouts suck for the players and everybody else I sus you’re invested when you’re not particularly invested it’s just fun yes I’d agree with that completely by the way just another recommendation to to dudes looking to uh meet women by the way yeah being being a band for for band there you go well what if you’re not musically inclined well then you’re F I mean I don’t know what other thing you could do be funny I mean you know how like comedians get laid and comedians are typically ugly I mean being funny is an absolute prerequisite anyhow yeah got to have a sense of humor for sure unless you can make a woman laugh yeah that’s you know unless you want to go out with Betty Crocker types or whatever yeah who think what do you think Betty Crocker’s Kink is which Betty Crocker are we talking about I mean do you know that people are spamming they’re like the real Betty Crocker on Twitter yes they are and they must be imagine she’s so confused what is going on what is happening who’s this Greg Balter guy what is this soccer thing they’re talking about we do baking here well Betty it’s your great great grandson that’s who we’re pissed at exactly I doubt they’re related but I think it is hilarious that people are doing that and for the most part most people riding JT Batson today were pretty good there was some name calling you know we told him to be professional and you know not make any like physical threats to JT and because we don’t believe that’s going to be very helpful but a few name callers out there and I get it they’re upset but if you’re gonna add JT Batson or reply to one of his posts you know just make make your argument that’s all I say so articulate for me your sources are saying now that like is it more likely that Greg gets fired than it was 48 hours ago what are you hearing are you hearing anything I don’t knowes but I don’t know what you’ve heard yeah I mean i’ I’ve heard that nothing’s changed for the most part except that everybody that works at US US soccer except for at one point Betty Crocker they all felt pressure they were under they some serious stress going on in the building and then Betty Crocker who’s not on any social media for the most part wasn’t really aware how how bad it was until he arrived now they called him and said get your ass over here this is not going to be good we need to talk about this he was not as Eric Waldo put it happy to come back um come to the United States that’s actually the first time I realized he doesn’t have a place here that’s insane Al so you’re the sporting director how were you not at the Uruguay game so much at stake what what you went home what’s wrong with him yeah and he was going to the Euros games [ __ ] that guy not not our games you’re at the Euros yeah what that’s freaking weird man and so yeah it was plainly laid out to him you know how serious things were what I’m hearing but right now he doesn’t want to budge he thinks it’s too Crocker I was told it’s really down to Crocker in the end and so far he’s holding his ground and saying this is knee-jerk that’s what I’m hearing kneejerk we got knk how is this knee-jerk that the you know were’re reacting overreacting from you know one bad performance what one bad performance oh my God it has been six years of bad perform my god did Greg give him a [ __ ] in the interview or something like what well it’s kind of funny because I was talking with Eric Walo about this too and he was saying you know that the hiring was done solely by Crocker and that sportsology didn’t agree with the hire right but they still use sportsology methodologies to hire Greg Balter but weren’t the data points like oh are you halter well there was apparently a battery of tests right which is soing ridiculous it’s like you know listen my name’s Mourinho here’s my resume you know my work you want to hire me or not I’m not sitting here for 3 hours of mental battery tests so ridiculous look at the resume no wonder nobody wanted to hire him in England can you imagine if you tried that [ __ ] in the UK I heard it yeah they’d be like what the [ __ ] is wrong with you they would laugh you out of the pub oh Messi almost scored I heard a couple people refused to take it yeah don’t blame them what so that’s because that actually lines up with something I heard from a new source but I don’t really trust my new source yet so the fact that they’re saying that matches up with what you’re saying and what wnal is saying kind of Wonder now if they might and I think everything I just said that when all and I talked about in private he’s also said publicly so I don’t think I’m revealing anything like too dramatic I mean the part the part at the end not the part at the beginning that’s a different person so okay so as it stands most of the board was going God this is bad like did does crocker not think that the fans are like did he not see the statement from all three fan groups from the media like is he not clued in to what’s happening at all no he’s not on social media at all at all so he doesn’t see any of it well only thing he’s he hasn’t he didn’t even see like all the mainstream press stuff yet what an idiot his mind’s been somewhere else during the Euros for whatever reason I find that just completely wacko that we had to fly his ass over here in an emergency situation to discuss this as you I think have heard as well some Sparks flew at that meeting yeah there was some Screaming there was some yelling um it was it got ugly I don’t know my only guesses that they were trying to impart some reality on to Crocker and say listen this is not good man this is as bad as it’s ever can been yeah this is the worst moment since Kua for sure and at least Bruce had the I know dignity to just say because they were like no you got to get ready for friendlies is Bruce like friendlies friendlies out I’m out dude I failed I failed I’m gone I’m done that’s would be responsible for firing Crocker can’t the board vote him out yeah so at this point they might need to say to Crocker listen if you keep Greg you’re fired the problem is now that they’ve got to pay Crocker’s salary and Greg’s salary and a new coach’s salary yep well and the other problem is when Crocker uh made the move to hire Greg the board had to approve it in only one member on the board one and I can’t tell you who that is um no but that was that was they also said that in the press conference that one person voted against Greg correct now at least though the board has seen the error of their ways it sounds like well I think some of them have for sure yes there’s some Panic so what I heard but you need you need a majority of panic is what I’m saying right but so is this solely mat so what I’m hearing in is that a lot of board members feel like well maybe Greg deserves to stay but that’s beyond the point the reality is there’s too much pressure to keep him and so from a commercial perspective we need our donors and our sponsors and our fans to like have belief in us and so whether or not we want him to stay or whether he deserves to stay from sporting perspective everybody has turned on him and this is going to be bad how Crocker cannot see that is mindboggling to me somebody put is Alex caliy your guy’s Source his mom works at US soccer he’s not mine I have multiple sources I’ll tell you that right now I have five to eight sources that I have that’s more more than I got over the years some more reliable than others I will say that’s I have a Committee Member and I shouldn’t even say this forget I’m not saying that yeah don’t say go get your Source trouble whatever you do I mean there’s lots of committees so I almost said it it almost came out of my mouth like a dummy yeah so yeah I mean I think the good news is this is the most pressure but what my people tell me is you guys got to keep up the pressure yeah that’s what I’m hearing too because I’m hearing that they’re hoping that the pressure might die down and people might not worry so much if this tournament ends and everything goes quiet Dum everyone has forgotten and moved on yeah but they’re not going to this is universal now practically nobody wants Greg to be the coach no nobody wants a guy who’s the players’s best friends to be their Co to be the coach that’s like and nobody’s saying we need to hire a tyrant okay I saw poor um you know my cousin who’s on this show um Carly Lloyd get pummeled for saying hey you don’t need to love your coach you know you don’t need to like your coach yeah she’s right you fact it’s sometimes better if you don’t exactly especially with these entitled brats I got to say a lot of these players I’m really disappointed I heard that Adams and pic were on the phone with Crocker today endorsing Greg Jesus of course like what oh well you know the problem that I don’t think Crocker understands and he’s not involved in the commercial side of things right he’s the sporting director right if that friendly against Canada or New Zealand opens and there’s nobody in the stadium just the wind blowing I mean there’s never going to be nobody a bunch of casuals will still go but what if it’s 5,000 people yeah it’ll be bad it’ll be bad and they I think they because you know JT Batson’s job is money he’s not a soccer guy right he’s there he’s there for the money tried to convince us he was because he coached Youth Soccer once like shut the [ __ ] up not a he is a nerd app developing nerd if I’ve ever seen one like if I was in Central Casting and they were like we need to hire we need to cast an app developer in you know the Bay Area and JT baxton walked into the audition room I’d be like that’s your guy right there yep and he’d have a hard time getting through his lines because he’d say like I’ll read this Patrick mckune 499 or not uh American in charge uh Us’s F uh no uh Pride or uh respect that’s how he talks it’s yeah telling me that guy could have been because they always say oh we were so lucky to get JT Batson he could have been a CEO of a major corporation but instead he picked us soccer that’s horseradish I’m sorry but they said it in the press release when he was hired at such a joke Cindy Cindy parlone said it on stage that’s what she said we are so lucky to have this remember how they told us how sophisticated their processes were sophisticated process they’re so sophisticated they got a higher sportology yeah all right um okay so sorry you were saying so Batson’s a money guy he’s the money guy so he’s the big concerned the argument seemed to be between Batson a couple board members and Crocker who seemed quite half unaware of what was going on when he arrived on play how does he not understand that getting grouped at Copa like does he think Americans don’t care he thinks it’s okay here’s the thing this is the crazy thing he thinks this is all part of a pro process he talks like Greg oh God this is what I am told this is why they might melt so well together he uses the same language this is just these are steps towards the ultimate goal of 2026 and if that means there’s some bumps in the road and I quote we’re just going to have to go past them but right now he Greg still is dude as far as I understand it unless you’ve heard differently and I haven’t oh boy so guys more of the story is keep up the pressure keep tagging the sponsors email Matt Crocker I put his emails both of them I too yep I put them on the show if anybody needs them I’ll put them up again for you okay send this [ __ ] emails to both his co.uk one and but mainly his US soccer One Call US soccer they’re not going to pick up the phone but leave a voice message make it Angry make it loud don’t be abusive but Express and be clear about the consequences that’s the [ __ ] they really hate if you retain Greg I will whatever you choose is I won’t go to games anymore I’m not going to games I’m not buying watching games yeah I’m not watching and then go to your social media and tag those sponsors Mario pens wants the you know what I’m gonna do I’m gonna put in the chat I’m going to put I’m going to pin in the chat the two emails for Matthew Crocker this clown show yeah let me pull it up here so we have first M Crocker at us soccer.org so let me just type that in m so have you ever read that suland document that Matt Crocker helped Sunderland or Southampton um Southampton damn it no I um you should go read it because okay maybe that works for a club team it’s very mathematical it’s extremely methodical their whole approach to building that team I mean look at where they are now though it’s didn’t work out well did it in the end because Matt lost his job Betty lost his job there um that’s the mentality they’re bringing into this it’s methodical it’s mathematical it’s it’s it’s so super structured it it it is void of human emotion it might as well be a um an instruction manual for how to build your own computer that’s what it is it’s that kind of crappy so I it’s online I think it’s still PDF still out there you can still find it in fact US soccer boast about it at one point and put up a link to it idiot this is like you know when they were um they had just hired Matt Crocker you know had that photo up of him and one of the players or whatever in a barn what a photo of Matt Crocker in a barn okay that was weird so guys this is his emails here M Crocker us.org that’s the main one but it doesn’t hurt to send it to his personal one also Matthew Crocker 1974 hotmail.co.uk call us socer and tag the sponsors on social media that’s when these [ __ ] really start getting nervous okay yes they start getting nervous when the sponsors start oh very close you now you can say someone set up uh in the chat it’s a model yes it is a model but the model in no place talks about gut feelings or because part that’s really important in soccer you can have a player on your team maybe not the most skilled player let’s take Maloney for instance but he’s got tangibles and as a coach your gut feeling tells you that guy’s got to be on the pitch at at Heidenheim so um and what’s his role and how does it fit and how do I shap my team because he he needs to be on the field he’s a leader um so it doesn’t take in anything like that into account and the expressions of leadership are very like old school early 2000s building professional learning communities garbage which is basically we’re all equal here the Leadership Council has just as much power in say as Greg does but Greg Han picks the Leadership Council ex how does that work I mean this is just it’s crap is what it is oh sure I’m glad you all built a common Mission Vision Values and goals together actually they didn’t the vision is all Gregs we’re going to change the way America views soccer so in in in some cases is it’s not really a true Gest good to honest Learning Community like w Edwards Deming wrote about back in the 70s and 80s if you don’t know who that is he’s the guy who rebuilt Japan’s economy after World War II using this philosophy it just doesn’t work in sports yeah I’m sorry it doesn’t work in sports this business philosophy doesn’t work in sports sports is about heart grit yes there’s some organization to it there’s process to it yes you can have a model but you got to in the end it’s gut Blood and Guts tequin says proud of this community making our voices heard yeah and do not stop guys do not stop make sure Matt Crocker especially knows how bad this is going to be and again go after those sponsors I’ll say them again tag them on Instagram tag them on on Twitter whatever social media you’re on it’s Volkswagen it’s Nike it’s truly it’s all state and Michelob yeah mob Ultra that’s another one mob mob it’s AT&T All State Nike truly mobe and Volkswagen those six go after them tell them all and happy we are tell them it’s hurting your brand I don’t know did anybody buy it truly today on July 4th I hope not I hope not I that’s my phone provider if they keep Greg I’m I’m I’m I’m going with something else switch I’m going to go with like Verizon or what do you have what’s good uh I use Verizon yep and it’s good it’s just expensive just warning how expensive how much do you pay per month uh let me see what was my last one or unlimited about a 100 bucks yeah I pay more than that so do you oh well Christ switch for sure um I will happily switch Yeah it’s a little over 100 bucks and of course it’s been going up you know 10 bucks a year forever but you can go in and complain and threaten to leave and they’ll give you some special discount deal it’s what I do with cable every year I call alinity and I’m like yeah I’m cut I need to cut the cables they’re like well wait sir wait wait sir what do you mean you’re going to cut yeah I don’t need cable anymore okay oh let like can we give you like a bonus like a a deal year I have to do that go through the same game or the price goes back up to ridiculous [ __ ] and I don’t even know why I have xinity to to be honest with you yeah so I don’t know um it’s not over my gut instinct is Greg is still gone yeah I I want to share that instinct with you because I want it so much to be true so but right now my gut’s kind of empty of uh of like okay how does this all work out in the end I don’t know you know I wish I knew but if we keep screaming loud enough I’m being told it will finally be too much yeah so we just got to keep the pressure on that’s what I’m being told keep the pressure on don’t that’s what I’m hearing too do not like let forget they’re hoping over a week or two maybe a good Olympic showing might calm some of the fur stay strong Hold the Line make sure you do not make it make the pressure Relentless they need to feel it I want these guys to not be sleeping at night feeling this pressure until they make the right decision because we’re not asking for much right we’re asking a Kua level disaster coach to be fired we’re not asking to clear the board right we’re not asking for for much we’re asking that an absolute miserable failure of a coach and piece of [ __ ] human being finally get fired no it’s true I’m sorry if he had any dignity if he had a shred of dignity in his body he would have resigned by now okay talking about the wife kicking I’m sorry yeah no I get it no I get it I just yeah I mean that’s one thing we talked about our last show it’s like this isn’t personal I don’t I don’t hate it’s personal for me at this point it’s it’s just I can I hear it but like it’s not personal for me um it’s just I know bad when I see bad and it’s time for [ __ ] to go in fact I’ve known it’s been bad for so long it’s it is gets it makes me more irritable obviously but you know I’m one of those hipsters man I don’t feel hate here’s why it’s personal I have to cover this team I don’t want to cover this team for two more years with Greg berhalter I care about this team there it’s stressing me out having Greg berhalter in charge I’m not enjoying it I’m I’m I I feel like awful every time I have to watch this team play watching Balter ball so it is personal for me it’s gone beyond just like he’s not the right guy for this team it’s like it’s actively ruining my life no I mean it’s personal for me existentially um in the sense that it makes my life suck right transcendentally I mean I he’s just a human being he’s not Hitler or anything so well I’m not saying we should Guillotine him I’m just saying fire his ass like all right Roba spear you know although I got to say I do love the French you know we’ve all been there at some point where it’s like can we just get the ruling class all out and just gu them like you’re not actually gonna do it you know what I mean but like sometimes you look at our governments and you’re just like what is going on and you kind of understand right you’re like I kind of get why the French were like [ __ ] it get them all I know the only problem was Robos spere took it too far and pretty soon he was just hacking off heads of his political enemies oh of course I mean that’s always the problem right is power it always goes too far even when you have a revolution now whoever’s in power if they have too much power now they’re corrupt too that’s the problem with human beings yeah power corrupts have you ever seen the movie Dall dant no dant Danton it’s a French movie oh Danton yeah d n t o n I recommend it if it’s for free I think you can watch it for free on YouTube or wherever else it’s a really great movie it’s with uh the french actor the famous French actor with the big ass nose um and Danon was once a Robos spere Ally but you know he was getting sick of the guillotine he’s like this is enough I mean now we’re just killing everybody this is crazy they’re not even you know the people that were in power anymore just anybody that opposes us or has a bad word to say about us we’re just chopping off their head so robers spere did what he chopped off danton’s head yeah and Danton was probably the second most powerful person in the French government at that time or most influential I would say Gerard deardo thank you Alex gonos yeah great actor Gerard deardo as dantal great movie uh 1990s somewhere around there and if you don’t if you’re interested about his history and you want to know more about the French Revolution that’s a good movie to watch yeah but anyhow getting back to chopping off heads I mean of course metaphorically it’s just been really obvious to so many of us uh for a long time that Greg needs to go come on Ecuador and um you know Max’s recent show oh my God have you seen that Max bros’ recent show Max bros’ show his most recent one no I don’t watch Max Bros I’m not saying you guys can’t watch it all right you can watch it I’m just saying that me personally Pete I don’t watch that show let me be very clear so I don’t hurt anybody’s feelings go ahead though if the establishment’s the enemy you have to keep your eye on the enemy and I’m not saying Max I’m not saying I’m not saying Max is my enemy because he’s not we are friends I just disagree with them constantly I disagree with him on almost everything he says and and we fight it out dude on you know messages and texts and on the show and uh you know now he’s saying oh all of you guys that have been calling for Greg’s head since day one nobody called for Greg’s head at day one I did well I didn’t I was like all right listen I’ll give anybody a chance all right it’s not like Brett and I were immediately going this guy’s a pile of poo but it didn’t take long for us to figure out well this is not working this isn’t this isn’t good this isn’t getting better look at the Players he’s picking and then he got better at picking players and it still didn’t really get that much better it got worse arguably exactly so he he said that he said that there weren’t enough MLS players on this US Men’s National Team and he said that the let me list The Players he said should be on the team Aaron long Walker Zimmerman should have been on the team Jordan Morris Ron yeah dude so we’re picking his ass apart on Monday we’re posting that that show up and we’re clipping all the clips and we’re playing all the parts and I’m sorry Max but man you can’t say things like this and he even said on the show I know I’m going to get torch for this well yes you’re being an MS not only that it’s such obvious MLS Shilling yeah and he he’s everybody knows if you don’t know he works for MLS it’s like listening to Matt oyle you’re not going to get anything but a prls commentary from Matt Doyle he’s paid to be a show yeah and that’s the difference right like I don’t always agree with Jake for example but guess what Jake as far as We Know not being paid by anybody to have those opinions no he’s a little different and he’s F oh I don’t want to blow it for you okay don’t spoil it I’m not gonna spoil it Hey Jake is even for off with bur Halter’s head now yeah everybody has turned against Greg even people who passionately defended him okay wait so Ecuador has the ball so either Argentina wins it and score or Ecuador scores I’m not saying anything not saying anything don’t look at the chat either free kick I’m not looking at the chat Ecuador still has it chat’s locked how far behind am I 40 [Laughter] seconds oh oh yes yes let’s go we got a game on our hands baby oh my God sorry Taco sorry I’m Hing OS say you totally blew it Derek I didn’t I I stifled myself so so here you’re saying please make sure people understand they need to be diplomatic when pushing for bur halter to be ousted not tell ussf they are incompetent no you can tell them they’re incompetent that’s professional I don’t have no guys don’t swear at them and don’t make personal don’t make it personal right don’t say Triple G is a whatever a bad golfer just you know keep it like we don’t want him and again just be clear about the consequences that’s the most important thing if you rehire Greg this will be my response right right that’s exactly it keep it as professional as you can I know you’re upset and angry just like we are but don’t come at them with like you’re a dumb or whatever I blanked out the wrong word but don’t yeah don’t do that don’t call them names it’s that’s they’re just going to totally disregard you if you do that but if you’re like listen I take my kids to the games or yeah I watch every I’ve been watching every US soccer game for the last 10 years in my case like 35 years I’ve watched almost every I’ve missed like two games in 35 years yeah so you know you know when my letter went out to Matt my email it said listen dude I’ve been doing this for 35 years I’ve written for five major websites I’m a longtime journalist that covered this sport during Bruce’s Rea uh reign and during Bob Bradley’s Reign and I can’t watch this anymore yeah and you got to change this you know make it your own personal story if you’re gonna do the email thing if you’re doing X and social media don’t get nasty like no name calling or no threats I mean you can make threats but make them realistic threats physical threats right yeah no physical threats threaten to boycott that’s fine that’s a totally acceptable threat right and also you know like you said put your own style on it personally I’m also going to mention my channel I’m going to be like this is Pete from 11 Yanks I have a Channel with 20,000 subscribers I see a lot of passion and I’ll be honest over the last year or two I’ve seen a lot of people quit on this team people who were excited about this Young Generation really lost a lot of interest and I don’t I can’t blame them I can’t blame them I don’t blame them at all because I’m the same I it’s happening to me if you bring Greg back a lot of people are going to stop caring about this team at all and that means money in your pocket it’s going to go away right they disallow the go why is there a goal check I don’t know let’s see do you want me to tell you early if it was disallowed or not they’s they’re still talking about it now and I’m 50 seconds ah of you no don’t tell me if it’s disallowed okay but what was wrong with it I’m not sure what’s that guy out sides and got in the way of the goalkeepers what they’re checking this feels like it’s rigged for Argentina huh I know the future Pete so I’m GNA wait for you to catch up by the way I did add a gift to my email to uh Matt Crocker a gif or a gift a gif GF oh yeah what is it or a gif it was a a hot dog that was standing erect slowly become flaccid that’s very appropriate I said this is what’s happening to me Matt all right one one we are going to penalties huh I love this I hate the extra time man the extra time kind of because it just gets a nervy and nobody scores an extra time anyways yeah everybody plays really conservatively yeah they play real conservative it gets boring and everybody’s too exhausted at that point they end up going to penalties anyway so why not just get it over with I know I get you but I feel like it’s there some something amate hour or to it bugs me a little because Euros has the extra time but you know I get it I like the excitement of free of penalty kickoffs as a neutral as you said yeah as a neutral it’s fun right even though I’m pulling for Equador in this one for sure oh yeah don’t send us your messy hate the uh firecrackers are taming down here is it bad it was like World War II out there from like 8 to 10 I haven’t heard much here in LA but to be fair It’s Not Dark Yet so well I don’t think a lot of people in La care about Fourth of July yeah it’s people are too self-absorbed in this town to like Cate a holiday they got their own things to do like go to a barber dryand fundraiser or whatever right right we’ll probably see what Betty Crocker’s up to oh my God oh my God oh how do you miss that I know oh kaedo I was pretty kaiso right this is his brother I think so yeah oh my God all right all right Greg says Carl CTS GMO says no American in charge of ussf was no Pride or respect um no because a lot of Americans were in charge before and they were awful there’s just there’s competent people and there’s idiots and Crocker is the lad I mean there are competent people that have slip-ups like Bob Bradley’s super competent guy did he have bad games yes did he generally fix it for the most part did he have a worst worst player pool to work with absolutely um and I know somebody mentioned the other day rehire Bob Bradley Bob Bradley hates us soccer first of all that was me and I was not saying to rehire him I was saying no I said I don’t think he’s a guy we should rehire but I’ll tell you what if anybody would hold these players feet to the fire it’d be Bob Bradley yeah Bruce would too even though Bruce would never take this job again and nor would Bob Bradley Bob Bradley has not ever forgiven you a soccer for firing him for what he says are just out of the blue behind his back he lost one game really yeah I mean he lost some others too but yeah I see what you’re saying I mean he got out of his group at the World Cup and lost to Ghana right in extra time right but nobody was calling for his head no so it was the Gold Cup Final that’s really when he got fired yes yeah and that’s really because gady had lined up had been trying to line up clintsman for like at least three years yes at that point and finally Clinton’s like all right sure you give me lots of power and control and pay me a big fat check and I’ll do it and we did all right but both of those guys could make like Bob R fire up a team he could fire up a team Bruce Arena fire up a team clintsman the players did not like clintsman but because he was really strict with them and he had favorites and they didn’t like that but you know what you don’t have to like your coach yeah he also very bad with tactics but you know yeah we all know he was terrible with tactics but to tell you what he never let the players drop their level in a game no in terms inity and aggression I mean step on zelos is literally the like oh yeah you know when have you ever heard of his tenure when have you ever heard bur halter say that like did you see the stat list that we were the least aggressive team in the whole tournament yep and then they’re like oh we will run through a brick wall for Greg really because you didn’t it sounds like they just ran through a shower for Greg that’s about it not a brick wall a shower like they ran into a wall and then like died on the ground also it’s kind of apropo Cons considering that Greg used to SM smash his head against the wall when he was the player he did the perfect metaphor for him as a coach too just smashing doing the same thing over and over again and the only person he’s hurting is himself and yeah I mean we were talking about this with Eric and Eric’s like yeah you know he knew he had a bad temper and so he’s become the opposite of what he used to be yeah and and uh the rumor is he does Edibles that’s the rumor it’s just a rumor it’s a rumor allegedly I mean I have no problem with him doing Edibles I don’t either the only thing is like if you’re going to do edible shouldn’t you see some truth like usually when I like no I’m just saying usually when I do weed I like think deeply about stuff I go huh I become more self-aware for sure no I I would agree um maybe the weed he smokes it’s more about just calmness cuz you can get all kinds of different weed now and some of it are the edible they were like one’s just specifically to calm you down yeah and um others are more about Euphoria and deep thoughts can we put something in his Edibles like I don’t know yeah needs to do the ones with the Jenny Kush um THC so he gets some euphoric deep thinking going but maybe that’s also his problem maybe he overthinks everything the problem is he xes a nose he thinks if he can make it work in his head or on a whiteboard or on a PowerPoint then will also work on the field and he doesn’t give any consideration that’s not how life works right well and he’s about as far away as emotionally connected um in an honest way with his own emot like his even his emotions to the players are calculated yeah they’re not natural that whole African dog things was planned out that was planned out cringy it did not come off the you know the brow it it was something he had written the night before after they had got home from the zoo because he took the whole team to the zoo and they watched yeah and they read the descriptions of all the animals because you know they have the little plaques out there describing the animals and what they are and what they do apparently the he was really fascinated by these African dogs the I’m not kidding you this is because the beginning of that speech which often gets cut out now is you remember remember guys we were just at the zoo that’s how this whole thing starts yes okay Messi’s taking first I’m gonna have to mute you we’ll keep talking after this because I like where this conversation well I won I won’t make any sound I won’t make any sound but I can’t watch the chat either I’m GNA block the chat hey babe Messi’s about to take the penalty I’m doing a live stream he’s what Messi’s about to take a penalty I’m doing a live stream oh okay [ __ ] why did you pick up okay bye all right bye El Al Zen what’s

now he’s doing okay snit shnitzel’s great too obviously anywhere you go that’s sort of a good yeah Universal German dish I’ve never been into brw but if you you know if you go to Germany the brw worst there is better yeah you can get here in the United States oh my God yeah Emmy Martine oh my God two penalties saved already ah [ __ ] dude how is Emmy Martinez not like a real Madrid goalkeeper at this point yeah two penalties two out of two saved by Emmy Martinez oh my god oh onehanded and by the way if you want to buy real German cult Cuts you can do it in the United States there is a company here from Wisconsin called stigle Maya they’ve been around forever this is what I do mallister okay I wish I could pause this so we could be see synchronize are you watching on fubo or live oh mallister scored Dam live live on Fox yeah oh shoot two-nil Ecuador hasn’t scored and they need to score at least this one if they don’t score this one it’s it’s over it’s really amazing even in the Euros how bad some of the penalty taking has been especially with all the jerking around that these guys do when they run up to the ball you know okay here we go thank you thank you very much and yet the equator fans are still crying he just made it what are you crying about I mean it’s it’s an emotional I get it it’s there’s a lot of emotions it’s like us we’re on tender hook wondering if Greg is coming back I know but I’m half German I don’t cry oh I’m an actor man I cry like a [ __ ] yeah no I actually that’s my big problem is I can’t cry so if there’s a crying scene I’m like ah [ __ ] you’re just like Greg Balter Greg Balter Greg like you know crying is is a process I gotta okay wait wait wait a [ __ ] yeah I would find it very hard as an actor to cry I could do Angry easy yeah anger I have no problem I just think about Greg it’s easy it comes up yeah I’d like to always wanted to be in movies and be a bad guy in a movie oh yeah bad guys are way more fun to play yeah being some bland ass cop it’s mostly what I play never fun put your hands up yeah or even wor not worse is the detective all right we go to the crime scene we ask questions we write in the notebook next up we knock on doors we ask some questions next up we go in our you know interrogation room that’s sometimes fun depending on how aggressive I can be yeah all right kaiso the goal score he has to score this or Argentina wins oh oh thank God oh that went right over Emmy yeah oh that was close it’s all good in the hood oh okay 3-2 one a piece so if Argentina scores this now they win must score for Argentina to win if they don’t score and Ecuador scores then we go into sudden death must score who’s is it gonna be Laro or did they pull him off already I didn’t watch most of this second half it was so boring oh that oh Emmy could have done better with that but it’s tough oh it’s endi all right they’ve got the most experienced guy not named Messi there otami all right oh oh he looks nervous as [ __ ] oh he’s gonna miss he’s gonna miss oh no he went ah [ __ ] Argentina goes through goodbye Ecuador all rightor goes home Argentina goes through yeah the semi-final is gonna be Argentina Colombia right I mean Colombia is going to be Panama we all know this right yeah you would think so Panama yeah even against Bolivia P didn’t look that good if you were watching that game simultaneously yeah no I mean I wasn’t but you know I was really focused on the US game but apparently Greg was watching it quite closely on the laptop on the sideline where at least well BJ was and then sharing like BJ had two laptops one with the other game going on it and one with our game so he could do his tactics thing and well no more BJ by the way as you well know off to Nashville off to Nashville will yeah get a Greg tenure but without BJ there you know what he’ll do he’ll bring back one of the failures from Dallas or San Jose he’ll either bring back Emilio Estes no not Emilio Estes whatever the [ __ ] that guy’s name was or he’ll bring back uh the other dude Luchi from San Jose they both got fired yeah right both Luchi and Nico Estes NCO Estes right they both got fired yeah we’ll see how long BJ holds on there um there was some sort of question for a while um about well US soccer was trying really hard to convince BJ to stay for a long time because this has been going on for two weeks this conversation with Nashville yeah and apparently BJ told them Nashville can you wait till after Copa yeah which they didn’t have to wait long in the end no he signed almost what a day and a half afterwards two days yeah he was out so was that because maybe he was still contemplating staying with us soccer we did well in Copa I don’t know I don’t know but so did you hear anything about a meeting before the Uruguay game in Atlanta that Greg asked for a meeting with um with JT and with uh with j and uh Cindy Cindy to get assurances that get assurances about his job yes you know what that says to me you’re here trying to get a win against Uruguay do your [ __ ] job yeah like stop talking about the future you know how you get you know how you keep your job get out of the group yeah beat them two nothing you’re out Matthew oh did I miss your thing I think I put it up is Jay Balter helping Triple G keep his job is that the one Matthew o I mean it’s a little disconnected at this point but it’s not incredibly disconnected obviously Jay berhalter still works for MLS and you know Garber is a board member who’s been there for 13 or 15 years now so you know I’m sure he still has an ear he’s a top executive at MLS he’s the Executive Vice so I actually need to correct myself I thought that he was the Deputy Commissioner he’s not the Deputy Commissioner he is the vice president uh the executive president of marketing right so he’s top executive he’s in the crony club for sure oh for sure not the Deputy Commissioner and they wouldn’t give him any higher position because when he was running US soccer at his that position glass door if you don’t remember I think that’s still around I remember that they hated his guts I mean EV I mean like what 20 employees came out and said this guy is the biggest [ __ ] I’ve ever had to work for and you know if it’s like two or three you’re like okay maybe there’s just two or three wusses in the office but no when it’s that unanimous and that it becomes an actual story someone writes who will never get access to you with soccer Again by the way that guy I can’t remember his name never did again Andrew dust Andrew dust put the story out ah never got access again nope nope we we just had um um oh [ __ ] Lawrence do on her show oh yeah poor guy has never had access until Copa and you know I had to tell him because he’s like I’m not sure if I’m gonna lose access or not or you know if they’ll never call on me again and I said Lawrence you don’t need access to cover this team well he he ended up agreeing with that but I had to let him know it’s over it’s over you’re not going to get an ask a question ever again his question was so tame too oh I know he just asked should your job be on the line yeah it’s not like he asked him why are you such a [ __ ] you know what I mean like he asked him a very normal question that they asked Gareth they asked Gareth Southgate that before the Euros if you don’t win the Euro should your job be on the line and Gareth was like yes it should be right yeah in fact he said if we don’t win maybe I should resign um yeah the crazy thing if you rewatch that video it’s being run by con andbull right yes not so there’s no tur in the background there’s no Michael cameraman there to protect Greg and so as soon as he hears who’s going to be called on he goes oh okay what are we doing here like what are we doing why are we calling on that what are we doing here okay yeah Greg said that right he’s like what are we doing what are we doing here yeah like who are you who are you calling on CA that guy’s already banned in fact Lawrence told us he hasn’t got to ask a question for like years yeah years they and so we’ve seen the SE same treatment been done to Meg and uh Mex swanic and you Meg lost access very fast huh oh very fast and her questions were total softballs yeah I mean she praed them in the most gentle way but you know she doesn’t write for the Washington Post right right so you can’t C even though GF asked some pretty nasty questions last time around they can’t cut off go you write for one of the biggest papers you can’t cut off Carlile even though Carlile came out and said Greg should be gone yesterday you know you can’t cut out ESPN completely I mean a even after all the things they said Greg still went on the her SE show and they treated him nicely this is I a year and a half ago or whatever yeah I remember this and now after hert called him a muppet I don’t know if he’ll go back on that show so World Cup I doubt he’s going back on that show I doubt it I doubt hopefully he’s not going back on that show because he doesn’t have a job right right if he still has his job I don’t see him going back and I don’t see him going back no I think he will go on lawless’s show I think he still will if he still has the job but is anyone gonna oh if he still has the job geez if he here’s the thing if you’re Greg and you know everybody hates you the fans hate you the media doesn’t want you there the supporters groups like why would you keep doing this to yourself yeah it just seems painful just go find an MLS team to coach dude go Chicago Fire like there have never been two entities more perfect for each other than Greg berhalter and Chicago Fire dumpster fire meet dumpster fire yeah no that would be perfect um so we’ll see um but I think that I think this is the most union we’ve seen amongst everybody it’s just a little irritating when you see the people that are just getting on board you know get all I don’t care about credit but they’re getting credit for oh yeah that’s my favorite there’s never an admission of like oh I was wrong even though they called the fans toxic for four years and now they’re saying oh they’re not saying maybe the fans were right they were like I love how they act like it’s this big idea like you know I you know what I gotta tell you Greg’s gotta go it’s like yeah we’ve been saying that for four years and you called us toxic for saying it don’t act like this was your idea all of a sudden which is fine I’m happy for the support so long as it gets rid of Greg but I’m Not Gon to forget what they all did and also like they always wait till it’s too little too like they always wait till it’s too late right it’s like of course he needs to go at this point now that it’s obvious yeah it’s obvious yeah you don’t get credit for stating the obvious and then they say well you know you people have been saying this from day one and I mentioned that early in the show and you’re like well yeah I didn’t want him hired in the first place well nobody really wanted him but once they hired him y’all got on board real quick well yeah you have to right I mean you don’t have to I suppose if you want to be really Discerning but my thought is I’ll give this guy a shot I’ll give him a chance I’ll watch what he does but a year later I’m losing my mind right I’m already losing it I’m already like what is this what is this garbage yeah we’re put it putting on the field so you know and I saw my old YouTube page my own personal one you could probably still find it it’s out there but um you know that’s like a year and a half into his tenure a year so it’s not like all of us hated Greg or despised Greg or thought Greg was incompetent immediately some of us gave Greg a chance we gave chance after the Gold Cup in the Nations league in 2021 I was like all right he won two trophies that’s great let’s see what he does in World Cup qualifying but by halfway through World Cup qualifying I knew this guy was was not it I was like no no when they rehired him I put out I put out a video said here are the 10 things Greg needs to do to win me over yeah and if he does them then he’s got a shot at winning me over he got none of them he did none of the things I asked all 10 and and you can argue that his second cycle was worse in fact it’s not even argument it’s obvious statistically it is worse statistically it’s worse Pro uh like we we didn’t get out of our group in Copa compared to getting out of our group in the World Cup yeah great great example uh BJ versus Trinidad Tobago using ourc team right 6 nothing Victory Greg with the 18 three nothing Victory then you have the people are like well that’s because maybe we need more MLS players maybe those A Team guys really aren’t that good you’re like what [ __ ] are you smoking oh I don’t know well guys this story is it’s not over till it’s over keep putting the pressure on guys send those emails make those calls leave those voicemails tag those sponsors he also has a LinkedIn page if you have LinkedIn you can also message him on LinkedIn hit him from every angle Matt K rocker clearly does not understand how bad this is and he needs to understand that right he needs to understand that I just want to also announce we’re gonna have Eric wal on the show on Thursday the straight red card apparently he’s really urgently written me and said I got some stuff to tell you so you need to have me on we’re like let’s do it let’s do it I’ll be there all right cool I will be there no matter what all right guys subscribe to straight red card if you haven’t already thanks for hanging Derek I gotta go walk my dog but uh peace out Pete cross to get rid of him happy fourth everybody happy fourth happy fourth and hold the line all right cheers

It’s Venezuela or Canada, not Colombia or Panama. You and Tac may be the worst soccer commentators lmao
I am no longer watching copa America, I might catch the final 🤷♂️ I love all you guys coverage n content.
Im gutted for Ecuador. After messi missed his PK i thought they had a chance but it must be said Ecuadors goalkeeper is trash at penalty kicks. Argentina could have 100 PK opportunities and theyd make 99
I just want to thank "the straight red card" and "11 yanks" for doing these streams so I can keep my sanity, because before I was just arguing with ggg apologists on reddit. Thank you for validating every point I've made about this corrupt trash confederation.
Unfortunately USMNT will not fire Gregg and all my love for the USMNT is dead 😢
We must start a fire Crocker movement
