20:46That's tough. I mean, hey, honestly, I would like for Portugal to win it. I want Portugal to win it. I want Cristiano to finally be able to hoist his trophy so when the comparisons and then people talk about you know Messi and they talk about Cristiano one of the few things that they go they talk about is Messi obviously having a world cup amongst other things that Messi does a little bit better than Cristiano but I would love for Portugal to win this year it is it's tough to be able to to say who's going to win it but it's probably going to be out of out of the out of the same teams maybe England this might be England's year they've been talking about it coming home for a very long time only winning one world cup I I forgot what year it was, but it could be them.

21:27So if anything. Yeah, 1930.

21:29Shannon Sharpe:What year did England win the World Cup? Was it 1930? Damn. I'm not sure what year, but I'm going with Portugal. I'm going with Portugal.

I'm taking USA It was good night cafe quick question here Shout out to the check quick question. Oh, oh so I so I know y 'all say Fox is an 8 9 10 year event It shouldn't make the mistakes he's been making in the playoffs What can a moment be too big for him as well due to his lack of experience in the playoffs or no lack of? championship basketball in the NBA? Can the moment also be too big for him? Although he is that 8, 9, 10 year vet. Can it be a thing to where he just doesn't understand playoff basketball regardless of how long he's been in the NBA?

22:36Because we see OG won a championship with Toronto in 2019 and we see how he's balling. I just wanted to know what y 'all think about that. Y 'all have a nice day. Shout out to the chat.

25:52Shannon Sharpe:uh me personally i don't think the moment is too big for him obviously you know with him making you know a few mistakes down the stretch you know maybe some will say that but for me i don't think so bro i i'm not sure what he was thinking in some of those moments especially the layup that he tried to take when you could just run the clock out but like i've been telling y 'all Arcan Ocho, I don't think the man wanted to get up there on that line and shoot no damn two free throws. I'm telling y 'all, y 'all go look at game three. When they was back, when they was in New York and Castle made them two free throws down the stretch.

26:29Shannon Sharpe:Castle took the ball out. He threw it in the Fox. Fox threw it back to Castle so fast. He like, hell no, I ain't finna get up there and shoot these damn free throws. You shoot them. I'm telling you, go look, man. So that's what made me think like in game four, maybe he tried to hit up and get the layup. He'd rather try to get the two points versus hold the ball and have to go to the line and make two shots. That's how I look at it. Yeah, two things can be true. It's just that we've seen him make so many mistakes late in ball games. That's what's concerning though, Ojo and Joe, is that he's a veteran player and he's making these kinds of mistakes late in ball games.

27:07If it's a one-off, you probably could like, okay.

27:14Shannon Sharpe:But the thing is, even in game three, right before those free throws, he did make that big pull-up in the paint. He did. That pull-up jump shot. So it's not like he's just been horrible. It's just a couple bad decisions, bro, that's been costly. That could have cost you the game. I mean, you could have won the damn game. So I think that's the biggest disappointment, bro. I think the thing also, Joe, is that when you got two evenly matched teams, it's going to come down to a couple of positions. Yeah, yeah. It ain't going to – I mean, for the most part, if you think about it, Joe, it ain't been no 20-point wins in either side.

27:52Shannon Sharpe:Even though I think the Knicks won the first game by 10, that game was close until like the final 30 seconds. Yeah, yeah. And look at it. It was a what? A two-point or a one-point win on game three. it was a one point win in game two it was a what a one point game so the games have been close yeah and the funny part about it is too uncle joe everything is magnified everybody makes mistakes players make mistakes obviously now it's the grander it's the grander stage is the biggest stage and obviously when you're playing in the finals all about moments and he's making he's making the mistakes at the wrong moments yes at the worst time when you can make said mistakes right right they're unfortunate bro i give them they unfortunate and they just was just heartbreaking mistakes i mean hell i don't even feel like you should have been in that position in the four in game four you should not have they should have never been in that position let's take a listen to the next one unc ocho and iso you would not believe what happened during game four yesterday so we were watching the game and our whole neighborhood electricity goes out So we sit there in the dark we wonder and I don't have the streaming on my phone So I'm like, you know, I'll just refresh the scores on the website So as I see the score goes down, I wonder what's going on So, you know, eventually I found somebody who's kind of streaming on TikTok And I see what happened at the end of the game the last minute half of the game and I seen the Fox plays But then guess what happened by time the end of the game happened the electricity comes back on maybe it wasn't meant for me to watch in real time the second half of the whole game but i couldn't sleep last night thinking about it and researching everything figure out see what went wrong oh and by the way we live in san antonio oh man hey hey listen i'm not hey look i'm rooting for the spurs this series but man listen spurs ain't my damn team but boy i'm talking about I hurt for him.

29:57Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, oh, man. Look, I could imagine. I mean, Joe, I empathize with you because I know how you felt with the Falcons. Oh, what you mean? When they blew 28-3? What you mean, what I mean? Yeah, I'm saying I was watching the game, but it wasn't like I'm a huge Falcons fan. You know, I root for them, but I, you know. Oh, it was like when you watch the Cowboys losing the first round every year to the Packers and stuff like that. Come on, come on, come on. I get you. You got to chill. You got to chill. You got to chill. I told you, hey, hey, hold on. I told y 'all, my partner came over to the house.

This is going to be a grinder after the game. Paraguay is trash. They suck. This means nothing for the U.S. The goalpost moving is hilarious. I told you, huh? What I told you everybody would say. Because of who they playing, it don't mean nothing.

45:28Shannon Sharpe:These boys are playing some soccer. I'm amazed American kids be slowly digesting this soccer shift over the years. it's growing it's growing but you gotta understand but I just think only a half they see American players in baseball football and basketball Ocho and they see the money that they making yes Ronaldo and and and Messi but you got you probably got a hundred guys in the NFL or more making at least 10 million yeah you probably got you probably got 50 guys are more making 20 million in NBA. Maybe 30. And in baseball, I don't even want to talk about those salaries. They got 700 million dollar contracts and 500 million dollar contracts and 400 million dollar contracts.

46:22Yeah.

46:25Shannon Sharpe:Somebody say Ocho to$714 is the cheapest. We can sit in the nose, please. Hell nah. I thought you said we were going to experience, I wanted to, what? No longer, Joe, it's going to be experienced no matter where you sit, boy. Haiti and Morocco. Why we got to sit in the nosebleed though? Well, how much you want me to pay for the tickets, Joe? I'm saying I can get my own ticket. We can pay, you know. Well, let's, well, you know people at the state. Don't worry about it, I got it, I got it. I'm going to talk to Gianni. I'm going to talk to Gianni. I'm going to get us two good tickets. Now, if you know, I can hit my people over there now.

47:14Shannon Sharpe:with me and you we got bad business going you know what i mean i know i'm dealing with now yeah yeah hey joe you know how much i love soccer now you know i ain't gonna play with that Yeah, all right. Okay. Who makes it further, USA or Mexico? Hey, that's a good question. Now, that's a good, that's a great question. USA, man. What are you talking about, bro? You ain't got no faith in us, do you? What are you talking about? Of course I got faith. Yeah, but I have dual citizenship. Hey, Joe, you hear me? You Mexican? You part Mexican? I have dual citizenship. here and in Mexico. So, you know, I root for both.

47:59You know, when they are playing, I'm kind of neutral. I'm on the fence when they play each other. But I think the USA, we have more quality, you know, at different positions. We have more players that can do more at different positions. If I'm not mistaken, I would say Raul Jimenez is probably the best player who's the number nine striker for Mexico. They have some good quality around him. They got a young boy named. He's about 17 years old, played for Mexico. They made it talking about he got dudes.

48:28Shannon Sharpe:Did Chicharito still play for Mexico? No, no, no, no. Chicharito, little, little, little, little. He retired, huh? Yeah, yeah, little aged out. Little aged out.

Ah, bam, hey Joe, don't you throw that ball to that boy. Hey, hey, hey. You don't pass me the ball, we don't lose, I tell you that. Hey, hey, hold on though, I done had coaches say that in the crunch, hey look, even if he open, don't pass his ass at that bar, you better shoot it.

Give me the ball, give me the ball and iso. Just get out my way. Oh, you want the one-four flat? Y 'all go to the corner, get out my way. You want one-four flat? One-four flat. Your bag like that? You got something in your bag like that? Hey, listen, I'ma throw up the one. When I throw up the one, y 'all clear that. If they try to trap, Joe, I'm gonna kick it out to you and you do what you do. Nah, damn, man.

1:02:24Shannon Sharpe:Yeah, I'm option one. Hell, you mean you start kicking to me. I'm orchestrating this thing, man. Play your role. See, that's the problem. You gotta play your role, Joe. Joe, it's a pecking order. If I'm playing my role, you number two. What you talking about? You hear me? You number two. Hey, we like the Temptations. Hey, you the backup singer. Nigga, what you doing? He's trying to take the mic. What you doing?

1:02:56I'm Eddie Kane, boy. What you talking about? I'm Eddie Kane.

1:03:01Shannon Sharpe:Ocho, yesterday's goal by Rule Jimenez was an emotional one. He scored his first World Cup goal, not only for himself, after coming back from a fractured skull, but also his late father who passed recently. Yeah, he's good. Very, very good striker. Very good striker. Played for Wolves. Right now he's playing in the Saudi League. He had a good season. So he's in incredible form. And I'm glad to see him get his first goal today for the Mexican national team. Obviously just losing his late father. It was an emotional moment for him. First goal, especially on the biggest stage. So kudos to him and the Mexican team.

1:03:42I'll see you boys later on down in the group stage. Yeah.

1:03:53Shannon Sharpe:Messi is the GOAT, and it's not close. He's the most complete and won the most trophies. Pele never played against the best in Europe, and Maradona peak only lasted a couple of years. Ocho, you like Ronaldo. I mean, some people, I mean, it's 51-49. Sometimes it's 50-50. Is it Ronaldo? Is it Messi? Hey, honestly, when it comes to this conversation, Messi is the greatest. Really? Really? I know I play around a lot, and it's all about preference, but what Messi can do with that ball at his feet, what he can do for the team that he's been on, whether it's Argentina, whether it's down here in Miami now, or being able to see him at his peak and in his prime, even when he was young, with Barcelona.

1:04:40I've seen him when he was a baby. when Eto 'o and Ronaldinho were there. I watched him come up. I watched him on a national team. When Argentini was wearing number 19. He wasn't even wearing the 10. So I've seen him from the beginning to where he is now. And, man, he's a sight to see. He's on the ball, being able to create, making everyone around him better, seeing everything two or three steps ahead, being two or three steps ahead of everybody else. Man, his visibility, his vision. I mean, it's unbelievable what he's able to do. But my preference is Cristiano. You know, as great as he is. It's no disrespect.

1:05:21I love the conversation. I love the banter, the debate back and forth. You know, I know he's won more trophies. He's won a World Cup. But my preference in knowing the game just as much as anyone else, you know, even if you watch soccer, even if you're on the other side of the world and it's what you do and what you love, my preference is Cristiano even though I understand how great Messi is

1:05:44Shannon Sharpe:future performance tonight at the World Cup was fire I mean they brought out some heavy hitters they've been having some heavyweights perform oh yeah hey you guys those hogs do it again on the winning national championship track whoopee yeah I don't know what happened to him in the 200 he slowed down but the kid Jaden Reed ran 1963 in the 200. It was smoking. And the kid Jai from Auburn ran 970. It was 2 plus 2 mile an hour win, so it doesn't count. Hey, them boys elite up there, boy. Yeah. You got to think about what Tharp did at the 1275, the first collegiate to have a world record since Dwight Stone.

1:06:36Shannon Sharpe:Yeah. 50 years ago. Damn. He broke the world, he set the world record in the high jump. This kid went 1275, this kid went 0.25. Better than the world record, that's crazy. Mm. That is crazy. There's a reason why collegians don't set world records because they run so much. If you notice professionals, they pick their meets. They might run once every, you know, two, three weeks. So not to burn themselves out, And then a lot of times they go specifically to try to set a world record. Yeah. This dude set a world record in the prelims. After all that running, indoor season, outdoor season, SEC meet, regional meet, national meet.

1:07:26Shannon Sharpe:Boy, we getting to it, boy. They doing the thing. Yes, look, I don't know. Coach McDonald, when he was at Arkansas, Joe, I think he was there when you was there. And look, they used to beat, they had sprinters. Obviously, they had Tyson Gay, and they had a, what's the tall guy name? I forget his name. But anyway, they had him, but they had distance runners. Yeah. That's what Arkansas gets you. They'd have, hey, they go, you know, get four guys that place in the 10 ,000 meters. Yeah. They cut you up, Wallace Spearman. That's his name, Wallace Spearman. But hey, they back on top. They back on top.

1:08:09Shannon Sharpe:Because Coach Holloway kids at Florida, you know Florida had a dominant track program. Man, I know. Hey, I'm telling you, I went to a few track meets when I was in college, bro. I've never seen no atmosphere like that. Oh, my God. I'm talking about getting it. Yeah. Be hype, man. If we're keeping it real, Ocho is number one. He got dozen kids. Unk, number two, ISO three, because hello, Ocho, you are hilarious in the TV show, The League. Keep up the great work. Yeah, yeah. Hey, look. Ocho, me and Joe got the same. No, no, no. Hold on. But I'm saying they ain't telling us nothing we ain't already know.

1:08:53Shannon Sharpe:We already know Ocho was one, Unk was two. I already feel like y 'all fighting for first. No, no, no. He's talking about number one as far as shooting the basketball when the time went to play. Nah, nah, nah. Clutch moments. Hell nah, hell nah. That's what he was talking about. He for sure wasn't talking about that. He definitely talk about that. Nah. Joe, you not better than me at your own sport, man. Relax. Joe say he be, Joe say, when it comes to video 2K, man, all that. Wash, I wash him off. Damn, damn Mocho. Hey, I'm sorry. And you supposed to be like Twitch, and you supposed to be the gamer.

1:09:28Hey, Punk, don't listen to him, man. Joe is delusional. just like he thought the Spurs were going to win this series.

1:09:33Shannon Sharpe:Oh, here he go. They finna walk y 'all ass down, what? You won't bet? No, don't worry about it. I ain't going to bet nothing. Yeah. I owe you the ass about my goddamn 500.

1:09:50Shannon Sharpe:That concludes this episode of Nightcap as we watch the U.S. men's team score early, attack on two more goals for the half, go up 3-0, and end up winning the ball game 4-1 as they cruise past Paraguay in the opening round.
