Welcome to another episode of the Demon Babie Podcast. We do 20 topics in 20 minutes about, you know, one major topic. I'm your host, Demon of Hollywood, sitting here with the Blond Bomber, and I'm not talking about Harland. It's Blond Babie. Whoa. How's it going? The crowd goes wild. If only I was Norwegian. God bless. You're close. But not close enough. Swedish. Not close enough. You're like a fish. What's today's topic? The World- Cup. Boom. Let's get into it. This is the Demon Babie Podcast. Before we get into it, we always like to, uh, check in,'cause it's been- Do a little bonus check… it's been two weeks since we filmed. Yeah. We've, uh, been very busy lately, so it's been a little hard to get it done. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Busy, sick, crazy. So how are you? Good. Tell me. What's going on? Uh, as the true fans will see, I've updated my hair, and I feel much better looking. I feel like I look cooler. You look more fun. Sexier. Aw. Rock star. He's back. Better. Joey's back in town. Well, I have something I have to tell you that I did not tell you, and I've decided to leave it for the pod. Wow. Yes. All right. Hit me with it. So my uncle, you know him, you love him. I do. We love him. We love him. He was like,"Oh, I wish I got to talk to Joey and Emma more. It's always such a great conversation. I love them," blah, blah- Oh… blah, blah, blah. Uh-huh. So my mother goes,"You know, you wanna hear more of them, they have a podcast. There it is. Watch it." What's up, Uncle Mike? What's up? Uh, and then T-minus a few hours later after that happens, I get a phone call, which I don't answer. I was up to d- I was doing something. And I have a voicemail that says,"Joey, you look so tired. You must be on drugs.""You look so bad." So hopefully- Shut up… the new look, hopefully the new look prove- Okay… proves I'm not on drugs. Well, no, one, you're not on drugs, but two- I never thought you looked bad. Wow Bad, though. I was looking, I was looking bad. Wow. You got roasted by your uncle. Got roasted. Uncle roast. Wow. Yeah. That's crazy. So hopefully, uh- So he did a wellness check. Are you okay? Are you okay? You look, you look bad. Damn. Damn, you look bad. That sucks. Yeah, so, uh, hopefully we get him off, off, uh, thinking I'm a heroin addict. Well, that'd be good'cause- That'd be good… you're not. Yeah. I've done stuff. You're aware, Wef. You don't have track marks. I don't have track marks. All right. Should we get into the topics? No, how are you? Oh, I'm good. Well, that's it. I had a good Fourth of July. What'd you do on Fourth of July? I went to a lazy river pool party, and I watched fireworks on the roof. I'm gonna say that was the best Fourth of July ever. It was really fun. I think that was the most fun Fourth of July I've ever had. Yeah. Would you- Mm, I don't know. Like we said on the last episode, Catalina was pretty fun. It was pretty fun. It was pretty fun. You know what we need to do? We need to take both Fourth of Julys and combine them. Yes. Yes. That would be insane. And if you're wondering, why are they not explaining why their Fourth of July was so fun, that's none of your business. It was great. We had the best one. It was super fun. Boom. Whoop. Hit me. First topic. Speaking of Harlan, let's talk about his man purse collection. Oh my God, Harlan's purse collection is one of the best purse collections in the world. I- It's got true aura. It's got aura. It's got- And if you're on TikTok watching this, look it up… look it up. Look up Harl- He's got different bags for different things. He's got a travel bag. He's got, I mean, like, they're almost all Hermès. Uh, flaw- I thought it was a flawless collection. Uh, yeah, it was all Hermès. And I was like,"What a flawless collection of bags." I didn't even know they made bags like that. I didn't either. I- This guy was opened up to a new- I was really impressed… not only was I being opened up to a world of soccer, which I'm not used to, I was opened up to a bag, a Hermès bag world I was not used to. Yeah. He, he's combining fashion and soccer- Mm-hmm, mm-hmm… which is incredible. We love that. Not only is he a goal scorer- He's a style icon… an icon, except his hair, it looks better short. I think it looks fine. Okay. And I mean, hot wife, so who are you to say? I got a hot wife, too. Well. So actually- I guess you got a hot wife and I don't look like I'm on heroin anymore, so I got a lot to say. All right. Next topic. Ronaldo's last game ever. That's, okay, but isn't he still on a club team? I don't think so. Oh. I think he's fully retired now. Wow. I think he's just gonna come out- Oh… or he's playing for, like, the Saudis. Oh, I think he is doing that. I think he's out of that, too. It's him or Messi. No. Ronaldo- No, Messi's in Miami. I th- mm. Ronaldo's done is what I heard. Last time he's ever gonna hit the pitch. Wow. That's crazy. Do you think he'll be an announcer next? No, I don't think he's gonna do the Tom Brady style. I think he is- Really?… just gonna… He'll maybe buy a team. Yeah. Or something like that. He'll definitely buy a team. Or he already has a team, honestly. We don't know. He could already have a team. We don't know enough about Ronaldo. I know he gives a lot to charity. He's a really good seeming guy. Mm-hmm. I like him. I like him too. I like his energy. Am I saying he's the greatest of all time player? No. I am. Well, I would say off the field, he's up there. Off the field, he seems really kind and nice and cool. Mm-hmm. And I love how much he cares about kids and his fans and- Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm… without them, he wouldn't be there. I see a lot of the donations coming out of his pocket, which I like. Yeah. If you're gonna have that much money, you might as well give back to the world. You don't need that much. I mean, and it, even then, it's still just a drop in the bucket- Yeah… of what he's got, you know? It's a, but it's so cool. And he's a good-looking guy. Even when the Venezuela earthquake happened during the World Cup- I know, he sent money he sent a, no, he sent a plane- I know… or two of supplies. I know. He's him. He's him. He's him. Paris Hilton broke up with him. Do you know why? Why? He was too gay looking. And her husband's not? I know. I mean… Okay. That was an excuse. Yeah, but isn't that funny? I think that's- I mean, he was very, like, metro looking then though. He was a style- European metro. He was a style icon. He was a, he, you know, I'm sure his bag collection's good. I'm sure his bag collection's good. Not as good as Harland's. Mm-hmm. But- Mm-hmm… you know, different. Different. All right, next topic. The Cape Verde. Cape Verde? Cape, Cape Verde. Cape Verde. Cape Verde. The African island That somehow gave us the best game- Of the World Cup maybe of the World Cup history. That was amazing. I almost cried. I literally was holding back tears. That game was so good. That game was insane. They were fighting for their lives. No, I mean- Like, battling. And when that guy score, scored the goal and then ran into the stadium to go kiss his wife or fiance- That was so cute or girlfriend, I'm like,"That guy is fornicating." Yeah. Oh, she's pregnant already. She's preg- she got pregnant from that kiss. Yeah. Actually, everyone in the front row got pregnant. Yeah. Men got pregnant. That was so cute. That was fornicator stuff. Yeah. Yeah. That was so cool. That was cool. He said,"I don't care about the team. I gotta kiss my wife.""I just made a World Cup goal-" Against Argentina… against Argentina." Yeah. That was so sick. That was, that was, I was like Peak And that goalie Oh my God, their goalie is insane. Incredible. And it's his last game too. Yeah. Well, he- That's crazy… he was, like, 49. He's 41. Okay, I'm gonna stick with 49. That feels better for the, his lore. It's better lore. Um, no, insane. I, I mean, literally the best goaling I've ever seen. He made the American goalie look like shit. He, I mean, I literally am like- I think our goalie was half asleep… I, our goalie was half-brained that game. Yeah. I don't know what was going on. No, yeah, but the Cape Verde go- goalie, I swear to God, w- maybe had, like, five energy drinks. He was jumping, diving, swerving. I mean, he stopped- He-… at least five to seven- He was on it… goals.'Cause they made that one penalty kick, and no one was ready for it, and he still stopped it. I couldn't believe that. That was incredible. A superhero. Argentina wasn't even ready for it. No, no one was. It was incredible. All right. Cape Verde is my favorite team, hands down, forever. Help, I want a Cape Verde jersey. Yes. That's aura. That's aura. That's aura. Yeah. That's ball knowledge. That, I would be farming if I had one of those. I would be farming, for sure. Yeah, that would be so sick. Yeah. All right, next topic. Guys that only root for the opposite of a underdog, which, what is an opposite of an underdog? An overcat? The- The favorite. The favorite, I guess. The favorite. I guess that's a more normal way to say it. Yeah, that- Upper dog. No, it's the favorite. Top dog. Top dog, yeah. Maybe top dog. Yeah. And then there's underdog. Yeah, I think it's one of the lamest things you can do if you only root for the favorite. It's- Like, that's so boring. It's not an interesting take. Like- It's just like-… you want the team that already paid the most for their all, their whole team… are, are you, I mean, not even that sometimes, but, like, are you just hedging your bet? I don't even know. Like, what do- What are you getting out of that? Why- You're just too nervous to root for the underdog? It's like when they don't have anything in that ga- Like, let's say there's two game, two teams that they don't care about playing, yet they always go for the, uh, overdog. The favorite. The favorite. The top dog. Yeah. Overcat. Uh- But you know there's that type of guy, too. But you know what it is, that type of guy is the type of guy that never really had to e- overcome adversity himself, usually. Or have an original thought. Or have an original thought. But they are scared of the underdog themselves in their own personal life, so they can't- And-… root for the underdog- I-… 'cause that would undermine their own stance in life. My man, you just called that shit. It's true. I'm sorry. I just- You're gonna root for the Patriots? I just- Like, come on… I had no idea you had military time as a sniper. Yeah. You just sniped that so hard. Like, if you're not rooting for the underdog, you're kind of a loser. Hm. I- Sorry. Or do they go,"Well, I'm a favorite of the world, so why would I root for the opposite?" I don't know. You would have to be such a diehard fan of whatever that favorite team is to make it okay to not root for the underdog. I'm fine with that. Like, uh- Like, that's okay… like, one of our friends, uh, is Argentinian. And she- They can root for Argentina… and she went to an Argentinian game, and I was like- So fine and she's having the time of her life. And I go,"What a- That's her nation… what a time of your- That's different… what a time in your life to be Argentinian." But when you're American, and you're just like,"Yeah, I'm gonna root for Messi, I wanna see him play," I'm like, you've seen him play 1,000 times. Yes. When are you gonna see Copa Verde again? Exactly. Or any of these other countries. Make a breakthrough like this. Like, yeah. Yeah. Change the world, change their lives. Literally. This, that is actually the American dream, and if you don't root for the underdog, you don't believe in the American dream. Amen. Sorry. Hallelujah. All right, next topic. Offsides. I don't understand. I, one, don't understand, and two, I hate that it's your body can even, like, you can just- I'm really glad we're talking about this,'cause we've been watching a lot and learning all the rules, like, through this World Cup. Offsides I can't grasp. Well, I don't understand'cause if your foot's not over the line but your shoulder is- That still counts it, I don't understand that though. They're putting up an invisible wall. You can't even cross that, and I think that- Not even with a fingertip. I, I- Like, a fingertip can't even go over? I, I guess. It doesn't seem like it's 50% of your body. And then when does it cross si- when is it offsides? I don't know that. That we should have looked up before we did an episode on this. We really should have. But I think the offside's a little ridiculous. I think it should go by the foot. I think that's crazy. I think that would make it make more sense to the players too,'cause they can't see this vertical invisible wall. That's what I'm saying. Like, okay. They look down at their feet. My foot- I'm on the right side… my foot, I did not cross a border. Yeah. What are you talking about? What do you want me to do? Like, crazy. You want them to see this digital thing that never existed- Yeah… 30 years ago too? Yeah. Like, we're playing by different standards now. I don't like it at all. Offsides off the court, I don't like it. Yeah. Or make it make sense. Just, no, just go by the feet. By the foot. Go by the feet. Go by the feet. Also, it's soccer. Everything's foot. Yeah. Why are we going by head? You can't touch it. Unless it's the goalie. You can't reach over and touch it offside. Unless it's the goalie. I don't think the goalie can be offsides. I don't know. No, I'm saying it's a foot- No, I know. I agree. I'm just saying… it's a foot sport. It should go off the feet. Yeah, I agree. Boom. I'm just saying. FIFA, listen. FIFA, we'll rewrite the rules. We got this. FIFA, give it to us. Don't worry. We don't know what the rules are. But we'll make them make sense. We're gonna rewrite them for you. Give us a book. Give us a book. Next topic. The Europeans loving America and Mexico- Oh, the- and not really Canada. And not really C- well, Canada isn't offering them much,'cause it, it doesn't seem like they're trying poutine. Okay. I mean, I'm sure they're trying poutine. It's not that exciting. It's not. But I love that they're buying ranch and cowboy hats and- Cowboy boots… Mexico they're loving just the parties. They love it. They're loving the drinking in Mexico, they're loving the a- air conditioning- In America… the size of our stadiums. Yeah. Um- I like that it put respect on our stadiums,'cause apparently when we got the World Cup a couple years ago, they were like,"America doesn't have the stadiums for this." Oh, I know. And then- Hello, that's like our whole culture. We literally have so much room for everything. We have the space. We have the stadiums. We have- No, we were-… so much room… we were the underdogs. For that one. Yeah. Yeah. Um, no, I love that Americans are loving America. It's making me even hate America less. I agree. Yeah. I hate America a little less now. I'm like,"All right, it's not so bad here." I know, yeah. It is nice. It is ki- you're not too wrong. And I love the people, the Scottish people that were in Boston just drinking their lives away. Oh my God. And putting cones on everything. I love the cones. Mm-hmm. I wish that… Is Scotland out? That's why- Yeah, yeah, yeah… it's, it's ended? Yeah. Yeah, I wish that Scotland was still in so we could get more Scottish people content. I was really enjoying that. I was really enjoying the- Yeah, that was nice… the Koreans in Mexico. The Koreans. And the Koreans- We'll get there. Yeah. Okay, okay. We'll get there. But yeah, I've just been loving the- I've been loving, uh, people-… the positive vibes… the positive vibes of people are like,"Wow, America ain't that bad." Back to Holland,'cause I watched one of his vlogs. Uh-huh. Um, he's having a great time going across America. He spent a whole day shopping in Texas and getting custom hats made, and- As you do it, it just seems like people- As you do when you're-… are having so much fun… an oil farming fashion master. Yeah. Mm-hmm. Super cool. Mm-hmm. Next topic. Uh, weekday drinking for games. You know, we are not weekday drinkers. That's just not our style. But it's brought it out. But it's, it's brought it out. It's very fun to go to a bar. Yeah. It's- And have a beer and watch a game. If you're at home, I, I don't think it's worth it. No. Like, what, it's fine. It's fine. Go to a bar though. Oh my God, if you haven't gone to a bar and you live in America, you live anywhere honestly. Yeah, I mean, it's the biggest- But go to a bar and watch a game, oh my God, it's so fun. Yeah. I mean, I'm- It's not the same as- I'm upset there's not a game right now we can go to after this… it's not the same as watching American football. Absolutely not. It is so much more hype and excite. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. And you really hear so many people talking about different cultures and, like, getting along. Yeah, it's really sweet. It's really endearing. Yeah. I love it. Mm-hmm. Yeah, I'm obsessed actually. No, I'm a big, I'm a big fan. I might, we might have to go again. No, I'm gonna, like- We're, we're gonna- If I'm home during a game, I'd like to go just run to the bar. Yeah. We got a good sports bar by us, so. Good sports bar, cheap drinks, perfect. Perfect energy. Oh my God, they didn't charge us anything last time either. I love it. Uh-huh. All right, next topic. Which country has the hottest fans? Oh. The- Cape Verde had hot fans. Brazil had hot fans Cape Verde's fans were gorgeous. I don't know. That whole country stole my heart. Yeah. Um, Brazil has hot fans. Brazil, everyone in Brazil's hot. That's just- But they're hot… I think you legally have to be hot in Brazil. I think they kick you out. I think you might lose citizenship. Yeah, like- Yeah… I, I don't know what they do to you. We'll see you in Brazil. Yeah. In November. Whoop. Whoop. Uh, yeah, I think those are my top two. What about you? You don't think France is in there? I haven't seen much content from French fans. You know what's funny? I think the European fans are really predominantly more male, but the South American fans are almost- More female a lot more female fans there. Oh, that's funny. I haven't really noticed that. That's, uh, something I think I'm clocking almost. I got a clock. The, the- Let me, let me check the, check the hands. Yeah. Um, okay. All right. Next topic. Will you watch soccer now moving forward? No. Probably not. I'll watch the World Cup. You know, it's funny'cause we like, like The Sunderland Show and the- Sunderland is so good… Sunderland and the, um, what is Ryan Reynolds' team? Starts with a W, doesn't it? Don't think so. Fuck. Oh well, whatever. That team- That team… we like those shows about soccer. I love a show about soccer. I just don't think we're on the scheduling. No, and- You know?… American soccer's just not that exciting. And American Soccer League is just, yeah, I mean- Maybe we should try. Maybe it would be fun for us. Maybe we should try. LA, we could watch, I think they're called the Stars. LA Galaxy. I think they're called the Stars. We can watch LA Galaxy. When one of my Swedish family was out here last time, my cousins went to a Galaxy game. Oh, really? Yeah. I didn't even know that. Mm-hmm. One of my friends is, uh, like a very, very, very, very small owner. Oh. Yeah. That's pretty cool. Yeah. Flex. Flex. All right, next topic. Which country would you want to play for? Sweden. Hmm. I feel like I could get on that team. No, no, no, no, no. They weren't that good. You're good enough to be on any team. Sweden. You would pick Sweden? Yeah. Okay. That's my place. That's your place. What about you? I might do Norway. I like the rowing. You just wanna be friends with Haaland. Yeah, I like the rowing, though. I like the fans. But also, I feel like the fans aren't gonna kill you. Like Brazil- Oh, the, yeah, the-… if, uh, if you play bad, I don't wanna go back to Brazil. Also Korea, when they went home, they got booed- And they got booed, yeah… so aggressively. Yeah, so I don't wanna, I don't want that. Okay. I don't think I'd get, you'd get booed in Norway. What about France? That's, that's up there, too. Yeah, maybe France. Maybe Spain. I like S- Italy?… I like Spain. Uh, they're not really on, I don't know. I don't know enough about them. I don't remember seeing them play. They weren't in this one. They weren't in it? No, they weren't in it this year. They didn't qualify? No, they didn't qualify. Oh, that's really embarrassing. Yeah, I don't wanna talk about it. Um, yeah, so- Okay. So maybe, I feel like you should go France… maybe I'll go Spain, honestly. France is supposed to win. Spain is- Up there… was the favorite from the beginning. But France is killing it. Mbappe is good. And Umtiti. Mm-hmm, those boys are good at their job. Those boys are good at… Apparently they're competing for the Golden Boot. Oh, probably. Oh, well, I mean, yeah. And then I'm saying Spain. Do you have to win to get the Golden Boot? I don't know if you have to win, but the Golden Boot is whoever scored the most goals- Oh, really?… in the entirety of the World Cup. Okay. So it's- That's pretty cool it's Messi, Haaland, Umtiti, Mbappe, and s- I don't remember who the fifth guy is. That's okay. That's- That was pretty good memory… top four. That was pretty good. Thanks. This is the first time I feel like I'm getting good at sports announcing. I like it. Thanks. Hit me. Next topic. The Mexico-Korea collaboration. That was my favorite. It was so fun. Literally so fun. I'm so upset we didn't get to go to that Korea town day. We were sick. You got me sick I got you sick So it's your fault. Yes. Um, yeah, the Koreatown went nuts, like- They… How many baby, how many Mexican babies, Mexican-Korean babies are gonna be happening in, uh- Unbelievable nine months? I'm so excited for them. This is gonna be such a huge addition to the culture. The bridge of K-pop and- It was so funny how many people were like,"Rice and beans obviously goes great." I know. That was so funny. That was a good one. That was a good one. Do they eat beans in Korea? Um- No, beans is Mexico and rice- Beans, rice is Korea. I get it. I'm ma- I'm back. I'm back. Um- Lock in. Yeah, and then all the Koreans in Mexico drinking their heads off was awesome. Well-'Cause Koreans are good drinkers… K- Koreans are good drinkers, but they do it in a more subtle, quiet way in Korea. That's- A little… half, yeah. They keep to themselves. They keep in their groups, but the Mexico- They brought it out of them They're like, they're like- They're like-"No-"… "Let's party together.""No, we all party together." Yeah. They're like,"We're all in this." Yeah. Yeah. I loved it. That was so awesome. It was so fun. Mm-hmm. Yeah, that was probably my favorite country collab. Mm-hmm, mm-hmm. Next topic. Best jersey. Best jersey. Ba-rum, bum, ba-dum. I like- I like Brazil's jersey Brazil? Their kit's so fire. That, I mean, I don't know what about that jersey- Yeah… you just see it and you go- Wow… "I bet I'd look good in that." It's the yellow and green and blue. I know, you never wear those colors though. No, you never do Ever. But for some reason when you see it, you just- They just work… you go,"Yeah, that's nice." And Cape Verde second,'cause it's similar colors to- Although that, wasn't theirs blue? No, theirs is- I would say Argentina's the most recognizable. Yeah, and then I like Norway's,'cause it's red. Yeah. It's nice. The US, No wonder we got kicked out, our jersey sucked. It was so sucked. It was so underwhelming. It was very underwhelming. Which, like, usually I like something demure like that, but it was too demure. I'll, I'll, I'll, I'll write my name on the back though, Brazil was the best- Yeah… jersey. Totally agree. And usually is probably. Oh, backup, I think Canada had a really good jersey. Ooh, I don't think I can even clock it. I, when we went to The Grove and we went to Nike to look at jerseys- Oh we almost got some. That's when Canada sucked. The Canada one was really cute. Mm-hmm. I almost bought it. Did you like the- Thinking it was an American one. Did you like that, uh, Belgian pink one? I don't think I saw it. When they played America, it was pink. It was not. Was it not? It was not. You're color blind. Was it Switzerland? Maybe a Switzerland. I don't- Someone had a pink one. I don't know. I don't re- I don't recall a pink one. All right. Next topic. Best city to go to a game. There's Guadalajara, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles. New York… Vancouver, Seattle. Boston, Seattle. Yes. I think that's it. Where would you choose? I would have done Boston while the Scots were there. Okay, that's good. You kinda do have to go- You have to go by where the people are. Oh my God, but the Guadalajara with the Koreans, I, I might choose that one. Yeah. I like Koreans. That looked really fun. Koreans are fun to hang. Yeah. Mm. So, yeah. I wouldn't choose Seattle. I like Seattle as a city. I, we went there recently. It was fun, but I don't- It's very fun… I don't think I'd wanna go to a game there specifically. Maybe I'd do Miami. I would do Miami. I think Brazil played in Miami. Maybe that's the game I'd go to. Yeah. That one would probably be- That'd probably be the combo super fun. Yeah. That'd probably be the game changer for me. Yeah. Mm-hmm. That, that would probably make you move to Miami, honestly. Boom, boom, boom, boom, cha. Oh, way, oh, way, oh. Uh, so yeah, I, I think I'm choosing Miami. I think I'm also gonna choose Miami'cause I think it's just such a fun party city to start with always. That's- And then you add all these international people in. That's exactly- And it just… That is exactly, it's a fun city to go to, party in- And then add-… tourist, and then add all of the extras in it. Even better. Even better. Yep. Agreed. Agreed. Next topic. Favorite players. Haaland, obviously. Haaland. I think Haaland's gonna be the fan favorite of everybody. Yeah. Like he's the people's favorite player. I feel like I'm just saying the same thing over and over again. Haaland is the favorite. Yeah. Then the goalie from Cape Verde. Absolutely. I can't pronounce his name. Fa- starts with a V.

You're gonna cosign? I'm just gonna cosign. Wow, you never just cosign. I know. Aw. Wow We're becoming one. So cute. I love that. Okay. Yeah. Next topic. Soccer fans in general. I like how dedicated they are. I like how dedicated they are, too. They almost remind me of Philly fans. Yes. They're crazy. They're like the Eagle fans. They're just like,"You're not changing my mind on what team I'm rooting for ever." Yeah. Ever, ever. This is my team, and I will die for them. Yeah, and I like it. And they have a lot of skits. Yeah. Like the rowing. They have a lot of chants. I like the, I love the chants. Mm-hmm. I think the British team has the best chants. And they all dress up for it, too. They all do it. Like, there's a lot of football teams and stuff like that, they don't, you know, they don't bother. People don't put on- People don't put on jerseys. People don't bother putting anything on for it. Soccer fans, they all have the jerseys. They're not going- They all have the outfits… they all have face paint. Yeah. They all have everything going on. It's pretty incredible. Yeah. Yeah, I love the dedication of a soccer fan. Mm-hmm. Um, I do, too. I think they're a great fan base to have. Yeah, I think they are literally the best. Yeah. I agree. Last topic. We are now in the quarterfinals. Okay. So you have to pick your wins for this next round. Okay. Do you have the match-ups? I do have the match-ups. Okay, that would be helpful. France verse Morocco. Ooh, that's gonna be a hard one, but I wanna go France. I'm gonna go France as well, but I'm fine if Morocco wins. Yeah, that would be fine. That'd be a cool upset. That'd be… Yeah, I feel like Morocco's hosting the next one. That's exciting. Yeah. Spain verse Belgium. Spain. I want Spain as well. They are the favorite. Bel- Belgium took us out. Belgium took us out too hard. So fuck them. I need them to suffer. I hate them. Yeah. Spain better- That is a revenge… Yeah. Yeah, Spain better demolish them. I want a revenge hit on them. Yeah. England verse Norway. Norway.'Cause of Haaland. Yeah. Are we, have we agreed on every one of these so far? I think so. Nice. Okay, last one. Is that the last one? Yes. Argentina verse Switzerland. Switzerland. Fuck Argentina. Wow. I'm gonna go Argentina for that. Wow. Yeah, I'm gonna go all favorites. Completely undertake what I said earlier. Switzerland. Uh- I don't know, England and Norway is probably pretty even matched. England- England played really well… England's really good. Except that one guy broke his arm jumping over the little fence, so. Apparently he doesn't play much anyways, so it doesn't matter. Obviously not, he has no bone density. Literally. Talk about a sport you don't use your arms. Yeah, it really showed. Yeah, he had to get surgery. Tripped over a… Really? Yeah. Oh my God, that's so embarrassing. He snapped an arm, like fully. Come on, my man. You weren't even like 10 feet off the ground.
