That's I wanna it's been an interesting World Cup, hasn't it? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like, what do you think the chances of the United States, Canada, Mexico ever getting another World Cup are with the fucking intervention of Donald Trump to get a fucking red carded player? Oh, yeah. What do you think? What do you think? Never the chances of that happening. Never.

SPEAKER_02 1:46

You know, I understand you're that's a very good point.

SPEAKER_05 1:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 1:48

Three countries, plus they all got eliminated, the host, eh? Yeah. Plus, they never had to qualify. Plus, this opportunity, especially in this uh one, can the Canada, that coach they got, he's a little bit of a bonehead. He's not too healthy psychologically. Jesse, Jesse James.

SPEAKER_01 2:06

No, that guy.

SPEAKER_02 2:07

He Jesse James, the shot that killed Jesse James. Yeah. He got elimination. Then you started talking about those players and the Canadian team, and their hero. They're not they're not my fucking hero.

SPEAKER_01 2:17

Oh, we're all proud of you. Yeah, you're all proud of finishing fucking 16. Yeah, we're proud of you. We're proud of you. You're proud of being a loser. Oh, such an accomplishment of from 48 to be in the top 16. It's come, we've come a long way. But anyway, so I don't think there's a you know, but more importantly for me is like, how does how does what was that situation with the red card with the American player getting and then how did it was overturned?

SPEAKER_02 2:44

Oh, Balogun. Oh, overturned. Oh wow. Like, how is that possible? I know how it's possible. My friend, the Italian guy, the president, Dominic Trumpet, Donald Trump, you know him. It's actually Dominic Trumpet, that's the real name.

SPEAKER_05 2:58

Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_02 2:58

He fall in my phone with that other fucking whop over there. I can say it because the mats of my fucking people. Yeah. Infantino. You know what Infantino? Yeah. Infanzia means a little boy. This guy acts like a little boy. He actually, his face, the president of the FIFA. You know that movie, The Passion of the Christ, that one of Mel Gibson? I've never seen that. I gotta see that book. Oh, it's very heavy.

SPEAKER_05 3:21

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 3:21

There's one little guy, I think one lady, evil lady, she's holding the devil. He said, he looks like a small, small person and the actor, right? He got a face all crunched up. That's how Infantino looks like him. So Dominic Trump at the Donald Trump, he phoned Infantino. He said, Bulligan, one American player, I don't know the rules, but uh you give him a red card that you gotta eliminate it. We need him in the next game. It's not fair. He didn't do any kind of damage. Fuck you. You step on the guys that kill it 10, and that's no damage. God's now not only are we stupid, are we fucking blind, too? We got an 8,500 inch screen on my TV and I can't see now?

SPEAKER_01 4:02

Fuck you. Yeah, but it's just so disappointing that the president has to. Did he call uh he called him, right? Yeah, he found him up, a cell phone. And he said, hey, listen, you know, you gotta overturn it. So that's is that would you call that corruption? What would you call it? Yeah, but let's call it the least you can use the corruption. And then he's saying, oh, the thing Messi did was worse.

SPEAKER_02 4:22

Oh yeah, oh yeah, he's a he's a the judge and jury, Donald Trump.

SPEAKER_01 4:26

That's so fucked up. What the fuck, eh? And anyway, they're shit too, yeah. US team and the hot the soccer gods, as we call it. Yeah, the hockey guards. They said, okay, who do they play in this in the in the round of 16 with Belligan and whatever his name is? Oh, yeah, those are who did they play?

SPEAKER_03 4:41

Uh trying to remember now. So many games are going on.

SPEAKER_01 4:44

They lost bad.

SPEAKER_02 4:45

Oh, they got they got killed, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 4:47

It just like Belgium, Belgium, they lost it. They got Canada, you know. And I, you know, we're Canadian, you know, we got to support it. But they had no chance against Morocco.

SPEAKER_02 4:58

No, Morocco, those people, those are fucking people crazy anyway. Uh, the Morocco, they're crazy. All those guys, because they play, I I call it the day, I call it uh religious soccer. They're crazy. They want to kill it, they don't want to beat you on the hocke uh soccer, they want to kill you as a person.

SPEAKER_01 5:16

Well, but it it started like the Did you watch the game, Canada? Uh, I watch everything. So, yeah, I mean it looked like Canada was on a roll at the beginning.

SPEAKER_02 5:24

Yeah, and then yeah, you got six fucking goals against guitarra. Holy fuck, don't make me laugh. Jonathan David, yeah, he went to Juventus to play Italian team where I live in La Italia. Yeah, he played a couple of minutes, they put him on the bench.

SPEAKER_01 5:38

Who is that their number one star?

SPEAKER_02 5:40

Oh, Lucas, number one. If in those days of Del Piero, Roberto Baggio, Giant, Gigi Riva, Rivera, Mazzola, Maldini, the guy wouldn't even show up to clean the ball, let alone play Zaccar.

SPEAKER_01 5:52

No kidding. So, where does that that US player play? Bal Balligan. What teams? I don't know. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 5:58

Does he play somewhere? Yeah, he plays somewhere. I think maybe not, plays in the backyard.

SPEAKER_01 6:03

Yeah. Yeah. So okay, so yeah, that was a little controversial. A little bit? I think that whole thing was uh, you know, what other controversies did you did you like would you witness that you thought was I don't know from the round of the 48 to the 16?

SPEAKER_02 6:19

The worst one I think was uh when I watched Portugal get it done in Croatia, they play at Toronto, right?

SPEAKER_01 6:26

Yes.

SPEAKER_02 6:27

Are you fucking joking me? The ball touched the player, yeah, the Portuguese player in the back of his melon, touch. Yeah, the ball goes to the Croatian player in the injury time, he passed the ball to another Croatian play, shoot doesn't score. They can win the game. They didn't count to the goal because Lukatsu dell'Albertro has say if it were he unintentionally, he touched that ball. What the fuck are you, Kreskin? You read his fucking mind now?

SPEAKER_01 7:00

But that's you know, to all our Portuguese listeners, you know, you got lucky there, buddy. You got lucky because Croatia got burned. Burned. That would have been the tying goal, right? That would have been an advance goal, a winning goal. Yeah. And you see, another sign of the FIFA corruption. Oh, yeah. You know, to get Ronaldo another chance. Oh, he's finished it too. He didn't play. He didn't play great, right?

SPEAKER_02 7:23

He never played great. He just walked up and down the field. That's it. He's he's a guy, you know, has he got a uh realize of something very important. When it's a time to fuck up, it's a time to fuck up. Right. Okay. I think 41. I think he's born in 1985.

SPEAKER_01 7:41

Holy shit. I thought I saw him coming in on the wheelchair ramp.

SPEAKER_02 7:46

Oh, yeah. You know, every time they go for a drink of water, some of these players are sold. They take a water, they're a hydration break, and then they they should call it diaper break.

SPEAKER_01 7:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 7:55

Changing your fucking diaper in the short pass. No kidding. Depends.

SPEAKER_01 7:59

Hydration break, diaper change break. But that means Portugal, I'm sorry to say, they're pretty much done too for a long time.

SPEAKER_02 8:06

Portugal got nobody good. They're never gonna win a World Cup. Not for a long time.

SPEAKER_01 8:10

Not for at least a couple of thousand years. You know, not not until they uh, you know, I don't know. It's gonna be bad. They have nobody, right? They got nobody. At least Spain has that Yamil. What's his name?

SPEAKER_02 8:22

Yeah, Yamal, that guy. Lamin, Yamal, Lamal, Lamin, Le Malica Mini. Oh, yeah. He's a Calabresa thing, huh? Is he? Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 8:30

Do you know Messi's Italian, right?

SPEAKER_02 8:32

Yeah, all heavy.

SPEAKER_01 8:34

Okay, so people don't realize that. He's born he's uh plays for Argentina, but his roots are Italian. Oh, Italian. Oh, yeah, his wife Italian the greatest players in the world, man. The greatest things in the world are Italian, let's face it. But Messi's Italian. Grandparents are born in Italy.

SPEAKER_02 8:48

You gotta realize Italian people, if you look at the World Cup now, I watched her program yesterday on YouTube, and they say, you think L Italia, maybe Italy didn't qualify 12 years ago. Talk about corruption in the soccer. Now go to Italy. They wrote the book on corruption. Anyway, you gotta figure it up. You check all this player over there right now in the World Cup you saw. You know how many of those guys in Italian or origin italiano? Oh my god, Belgian, they got a player, player's name is Castagna. That means a fucking chestnut. The chestnut.

SPEAKER_01 9:19

Yeah, how cool. Well, Messi's Italian for all you Argentina fans, and uh, you know, and I I hope Argentina wins. Oh, me too. Because here's a little it little a little homework assignment. Look at the team roster photo, the starting 11 for Argentina. Oh, yeah. And then look at the other teams rosters. Just look at it. Just take a picture, go and look at the roster. Yeah. And make up your own mind why they're gonna win. I think they're gonna win the World Cup. Oh, I think they deserve it.

SPEAKER_02 9:49

You know, if they win if Argentina win one world, Messi, he's gonna like retire, I think, from the World Cup.

SPEAKER_00 9:55

Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 9:55

But at least if Argentina win this cup, I gotta tell a story after about Argentina. Remind me. If they win this cup, that means they got four World Cup. Italy's got the four World Cup, Germany has a four World Cup, Brazil has five, Portuguese got a fuck all, Spain got one, France got two, I think. I don't even remember those other Frenchies, and they're another group of people. They got all the players, they come from Africa. How big is France, manila Madonna?

SPEAKER_01 10:25

It's big, man. It's big, it's big. Oh, yeah. Africa, France, and you know it's the whole fucking African continent is part of France now. Yeah, holy shit. Anyway, uh so what was I say? So tell me the story about Argentina.

SPEAKER_02 10:39

Oh I you know, I was gonna be born, I was gonna be born Argentina. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, my grandfather, he was uh Buenos Aires long time. Yeah, I would have been born, but then they did the cool loco, they fuck up the government and Argentina. My grandfather take off. So go back to it.

SPEAKER_01 10:56

Rocco Robomoro could have been Argentini. I could have been Argentina. You wouldn't be in Calabres then. Oh, but how would you how would you how would you like how would life be different for you if you were if you were from Argentina, not from Calab, Calabria?

SPEAKER_02 11:10

Well, I think it's a little bit different. You know, I what thing I like about Argentina, they got a beautiful architecture. If you go to Buenos Aires, it's a very beautiful place, eh?

SPEAKER_05 11:17

Yeah, I believe it's a good idea.

SPEAKER_02 11:18

Plus, they got a nice nice people, nice food over there too. And they specialize, you know what? Argentinian barbecue. Oh yeah? Oh, Tony, you don't believe yourself, but if you're training for the boxer like me, a nice T-bone steak, a tomahawk steak, you you get in good shape, you know. Carnivore, carnivore diet.

SPEAKER_01 11:37

Yeah, yeah. So was steak a big uh is steak a big uh diet staple in Italy? No.

SPEAKER_02 11:43

Uh steak, yeah, no, but in Italy they eat meat like a la grillata, you know, a bistecca la grilla, like a Fiorentina bisteca. Very popular. It's like a four-inch like that. Very special breed of a cow, a white one. They they feed it with the hand. So the meat comes beautiful. Even when they slaughter the animal, they don't give them a hard time. You know, they surprise bing in the clip, you know. But uh Calabria, they mention lupork. They make lupork every year. Lisuprisata, le sazita, right? That's what they make in Calabria.

SPEAKER_05 12:13

Right.

SPEAKER_02 12:13

So they in Italia they eat a lot of pork beasts. They eat beef too, but it's original. Right. Right? But pork is very popular, like uh Lespiduci, uh, they very brute some makeucci. And Bali, you know, for that place polyesa, you're from that area, right? Yeah, my mom is, yeah. Yeah, they they they do a lot uh like um the horse meat too. No, they don't. Oh yeah. No, I've never had horse meat. Yeah, Carlin Di Cavallo, they make a brajole of the horse meat sometime. No, they don't. Oh, yes, they do.

SPEAKER_01 12:43

Check it up on the computer, got it. It's okay. Because everything is true that you see on the internet. Oh, yeah. Okay, so uh let's do the synopsis. So we have England and uh Norway. Norway. Oh, the Vikings. What do you think? Well, I think I got titled. What I think. So what do you think of first of all? What do you let's compare Holland and uh Cain? Uh what's his name? Charles Holland. They're out Holland. Oh, the guy, the Holland, the soccer player. Which one uh for Norway. Oh, Haland, a Holland, yeah. Oh, the big boy. Yeah, and then they they have the big boy in England, which is Kane. Kane, yeah, sugar cane. So what do you think? Compare those two players. I mean, I mean, I want England to win. Uh Hen? Yeah.

SPEAKER_02 13:30

I know I think a lot of people like I got a lot of people in England too. You know, my friend, a lot of my friends, you know. But I think unfortunately, I think that Norway, they're like bullies, they're like a Viking.

SPEAKER_04 13:41

Right.

SPEAKER_02 13:42

They're big, they're fast, they run, but they got a lot of weight and power. I don't think they're too smart, but they have a nice system workout for them. Yeah, Kane, he played good. He's a very good striker, a strike. Yeah, you know, Bellingham is a very good Mary Pickford, the Luporte, the goalie. Yeah, he's good too. Yeah, he's a good goalie, too.

SPEAKER_01 14:01

So I don't know. It's gonna be uh a close game. So your prediction is Norway. No, I like England, but I think Norway's gonna beat him. So yeah, that Holland guy, he's uh I don't know if he's uh he's their only the only danger danger. That's only he doesn't tribulation like a like a mess finish.

SPEAKER_02 14:20

He jumped, or he look, yeah, two guys on him, three guys on his back, he looked, find a gap, he shoots the left foot, he got a left kick, he had some more power in the corner. That's what he does.

SPEAKER_01 14:34

So so talk about left kick. Uh why are all the greatest players left like what is that? Like it like there's a comparison to say, like, if you're a right kick, primarily right footed, right? Yeah, that's true. Yeah. The left the left kickers are the superstitious.

SPEAKER_02 14:50

Why why is that? I'll tell you why. Because the left foot, I remember I have a my father play soccer a long time ago. He's a kick, he they make him right with the right hand, yeah, but he kicked the ball with the left foot. He always tells me the left kick is harder than the right kick. Left foot, right side of the brain. That's the side of the calculation. So they learned the technique a little bit better. I'm not trying to talk as a psychologia, I'm just to give them my point of what I found out from when I was a kid.

SPEAKER_01 15:22

So let's get let's recap. So left, if you're left using the left, if you're a left shot or your left kick, you're more clear you're using the right side of the brain.

SPEAKER_02 15:31

More technique, more skilled technically. If you use a right kick, it's a left side of the brain. You're more creativity, more you more creative, it doesn't kind of thing.

SPEAKER_01 15:39

So let's so so the reason Messi's a left, like he's a left foot. Well he can kick a right foot too, yeah. Yeah, but he's I've seen him score a right foot too. So I wonder how that relates to say hockey. Let's say that if the greatest scorer of all time, really points in total, you know, it was a left-handed shot. Yeah. You know what I mean? Uh with nobody. Oh, how about golf? You play golf. They're all the best are right-handed. But I'm saying so. How about Freddy Couples? Hold on, you said the left is what, more technical? The left kick is the right side of the brain. So, what's the right side of the brain again? Left side of the brain. So I'm left, but I'm using the right side of the brain.

SPEAKER_02 16:21

That's more calculation, organization.

SPEAKER_01 16:23

So you have more vision? Yeah, that's the kind of thing. And if you're right-handed, like Ovechkin, for example, he's a right-handed shot. You m if you're right-handed, that means you use the left side of the brain, you're more create creative.

SPEAKER_05 16:34

Creative.

SPEAKER_01 16:35

You see the goals he scores? So that's why I guess they want in hockey, I would say, right-handed defensemen. Because if you're right-handed defenseman, you use the left side of your brain and you're more creative. Yeah. You can you you don't you yeah, where the left D are more what?

SPEAKER_02 16:52

Well, the problem is with that the la teoria you're talking about. When you use a stick, like a hockey stick or golf, yeah, left to right, like for example, I play golf a couple of times. Yeah, I can't I stink with the left, which I play normal, and I can hit the same way right. I stink right too. So I kind of distinguishation which have right or left. But kicking is more obvious. You know which one feels better.

SPEAKER_01 17:17

Some people that kick. No, no, no, I just think it's the same thing with golf for me. I can't. Oh, inside hockey. Like I I shoot left, for example. But I write right. What about golf? How you play? Left, but I write right, but I kick with my I kick with my right foot.

SPEAKER_02 17:32

Yeah, but I don't call a mix-up. How you feeling when you kick with the ball with your right foot? Good. How about left foot? Not good.

SPEAKER_01 17:39

I I can kick it, but I can no way. You don't feel comfortable. I don't feel comfortable. Oh, then you're right-handed that.

SPEAKER_02 17:44

You know, I would do a test. My friend he does it, it's called uh I'm trying to remember what's called, but uh, you gotta figure out like left-handedness, it's called handedness. If you go like this, okay.

SPEAKER_01 17:57

Here's mine.

SPEAKER_02 17:57

This is your left hand, your left thumb is on top. Yeah, that means you're natural lefty. That's right. Yeah, see me. I go like this on my right thumb. Oh, I can't. That's so you feel clumsy.

SPEAKER_01 18:06

I feel clumsy. See, me, that's my natural. So when I'm holding my uh, you know, let's say holding my hand, I go, I go like this.

SPEAKER_02 18:13

See, left hand and thumb comes on top.

SPEAKER_01 18:15

Yeah, even with the golf. But see with the golf, anyway, you see? You're a natural lefty, my friend. Yeah, you kick with your left foot. Yeah, I can kick, but not great. Right, but the point is. So like this, so you go like this. So I can see. So if you go like this and your left hand's on natural, natural, if you go like this, right hand is on. Exactly. But if you go like this, you go like this.

SPEAKER_00 18:38

If you go like this, pick it up. See, look at a double foot. The double butterfly. And then if you go like this, who can you? But if you go like this, yeah, and if you go like this, you're a sardine. You go like this. What's the other one? What do you want? Oh, good question. What do you want me? What do you want me to do?

SPEAKER_02 18:58

And if you go like this, you gotta go have a little bit of a snack because you're hungry over here. Yeah, yeah. What's the other one? And if you go like this, your wife put the horns on your fucking head. What if you do that? Staseroca full drama. Tonight we're gonna get lucky. This is called a schkopaig. Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_01 19:15

Pumpation for the nation. For the nation, baby. So, you know. Anyway, anyway, so fantasia, right? Back to uh back to soccer. So we have England, uh, we have England. Argentina and Switzerland. Switzerland. What the fuck is Switzerland doing there?

SPEAKER_02 19:31

They're gonna bring cheese tonight.

SPEAKER_01 19:32

That's what they're gonna bring cheese cheese. They're gonna let so many goals in, it's gonna be like Switzerland. They're gonna make grilled cheese. What the how the fuck did they end up in the finals four? Well, I'm gonna tell you my my theory. Yeah, what's your theory?

SPEAKER_02 19:44

Infantino, where the fuck he was born? Switzerland. Where the where fuck he grew up? Switzerland. His mother and father, Taliani, I think is uh, I don't know, father is a Calabrese, Repartimia. And his mother, my father, my part Lombardia, get a particular uh up north, more north. But he's from fucking Switzerland. What a coincidence! All of a sudden, Switzerland they're gonna play Argentina. Tonight, but who does baby?

They're gonna end up playing the winner of England and then Norway, yeah. Yeah, there's no chance for either of those two teams against Argentina. And now Spain is playing France. I don't know. I speak French too.

SPEAKER_02 23:55

I trained in Paris a couple of days.

SPEAKER_01 23:57

Wow. Anyway, so I don't know, France. Fuck yeah. What a what a what a disaster.

SPEAKER_02 24:02

You got one good player, I think, maybe two. That's a that's a France slash Nigeria, slash Algeria, slash, get Cats a la Francia. Where's the French people?

SPEAKER_01 24:14

So hold on a sec. In order to play for your team, you have to be born in France, or you do not. No, Cittadinanza, you know the citizenship. Oh, I see. So, not like um hockey where you have to be born in the country. Ah, then what the fuck, man? No. Italy would win every fucking World Cup if that's the case. That's what I'm saying. So if you have to actually play for the country you were born, let's let's say if you were to play for the country you were born in today, yeah, who would have the best fucking team? Argentina.

SPEAKER_02 24:46

They're the only people born in Argentina.

SPEAKER_01 24:49

No, but no, but I'm saying put all the players, all 48 people.

SPEAKER_02 24:52

Argentinas are gonna win. Because those people are Argentina, that's it. They're just those fucking people.

SPEAKER_01 24:58

So the Argentinian players are all born in Argentina.

SPEAKER_02 25:00

They're all born over there, my friend. All they have and some of them they come from Italian family. No, okay.

SPEAKER_01 25:07

But let's take Argentina out. Let's say, for example, if France could only use French-born players, where would they end up?

SPEAKER_02 25:13

Probably um close to the bottom. What about Portugal? Portugal, they everybody's kind of becoming like that. A lot of people make a transfer from one country to the other. Now we don't know. Born in Portugal, how many people are? Not too many. Born in Portugal. Born in Portugal, I say maybe maybe 70% to 75%. That's that's that's how about England? England, well England, it looks like a lot of people born in England. Yeah, but uh, I think England has a good chance to maybe 80% of the English. How about Norway? Norway, those are Scandinavian, Vikingo. They gotta be those in Scandinavian.

SPEAKER_01 25:48

So, you know, so pretty much Scandinavian. So pretty much if you exclude France, Spain, yeah, you know, that they don't they they just get the best players that have been. Yeah, Spain are Spanish people, yeah. You know what I mean? So real, that would change the whole makeup of the world.

SPEAKER_02 26:03

Spain has a player, what's her name? Paul Paul William Jr. or something like that. Bo. First of all, if you see him, this guy, Marque Williams is from Spanish, okay. Uh well, I don't understand the William. That was just as a Spanish name. Where it comes from. I don't know. I get to come.

SPEAKER_01 26:20

So so so why wouldn't they make a rule change? Just say you have to be born. That would be true. It's like playing in the Olympics. How the fuck can I play for how can I just go play for fucking I don't know what I'm I'm gonna be a citizen of I don't know, Argentina, and I'm gonna go play hockey for uh in the Winter Olympics for Argentina. That's exactly true. But what what's the fucking point of that? Why call it why why what's there is no nation so really the World Cup is not nation specific, it's citizenship specific.

SPEAKER_03 26:51

That's a very good point to make a tony.

SPEAKER_01 26:54

I agree with you 100%, 150, 200, 400% So all you listeners out there who think you're oh I cheer for you know for I'm cheering for fucking Spain or I cheer for uh Portugal or I cheer for France with the France flags on your car. Majority of your your team wasn't born in France. So they're not French. I hate to fucking tell you. So just because you have a a passport for France, that's right. So really the World Cup shouldn't be fucking country. You know what I mean? Should be called Citizen, the World Citizens Cup. We should change the name where your citizenship is, huh? I would call it the World Blender Cup.

SPEAKER_02 27:35

The World Blender Cup. The World Blender Cup. The blender cup, you know, because uh if you take a blender and I throw all kinds of vegetable inside the equatronochip, I put the nuts in there, and I put the vegetable, I put the fruit in there, then I mix it. Then I give her a drink. Yeah, Tony, this is a natural food. The drink is good. It's a smoothie because it's a smoothie, it's a nuts and smooth, and then I ask her what's inside, gotz. Then you're gonna spend the months and months trying to figure out what's inside. Same thing with the soccer team.

SPEAKER_01 28:03

I don't know what's fucking old. I did not know that. I thought that you had to be born in the country to play in the World Cup for that country. That's fucking very disappointing. Oh, yeah. And I'm sure a lot of you people out there didn't know that. Yeah, it's true. You know the Olympic, too, Olympic. Is the Olympics like same thing? No, it's not. Oh, yeah, it's true because I have a friend of mine's son, he was born in Canada. He got his citizenship and he played on the Italian Olympic team because he couldn't even carry the water bottles. That is, he couldn't even carry the water bottles on the Canadian team, let alone play for that. Exactly. So the Olympic is the same way? Same thing. I'm gonna change my whole like now my whole view on this thing is changed. It's not like the World Cup of hockey where you have to be born in Canada. You can't be born in Canada and play for the U.S. I don't know, maybe. I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 28:51

Let me tell you something, Tony. That's very disappointing. Very disappointing, and worse than that, this game, Olympic Game and the World Cup, these are the games they make, organize for the global people, elite, the rich people to enjoy themselves and make fun of the stupid people. The stupid people, let me ask you, let me let me ask you this question, Tony. How come every time these teams they sing the national anthem? They put they they sing for their country. The same people that fuck you for your tax money every fucking year. Why are you so loyal to these fucking people? What did these politicians in the country give you? That you put your hand on your heart. Oh, baby patza patzu, what are you fucking crazy? Take your hand off your heart. Who's running your country? Do they take care of you? Do they take care of the people? Then you put your hand on your heart. Okay, otherwise it's just a bunch of bullshit. I think the people they sing the national anthem to themselves because they make it the country.

SPEAKER_01 30:00

So just so for information, so you know about this disappointment, yeah, that one in four players in the World Cup 2026 represent a country different from they were born. That's over 270 players are playing for a team they were not born in. So if I want to get a fucking good player, I go, hey, come here, I'll give you citizenship, you know, come and play in Italy. And uh, you know, uh, here's your citizenship, and you can be born in fucking uh Timbuktu.

SPEAKER_02 30:30

Okay, you know, Tony, you know another example of this bad situation is for example of music or acting. If you're born in the States, if you're a musician, everybody wants to see the American musician. They control the whole entertainment industry. If you're from Canada, you're not famous here, you're a very funny comedian, you fuck all in Canada. Soon as you go to Los Angeles, you do the comedy store, everybody knows you, they love you. Because they have a lumercato, they have the market, they control the market. So they they make the template for what funny is, what the movie is, what the music is. Meanwhile, those other people in other countries, everybody how many people do you hear about musicians? They want to go to Hungary to be famous. How many musicians go to Austria? Yeah, how many musicians go to Japan to be famous? No, they don't. How many people go to the USA?

SPEAKER_01 31:22

Everybody. Ah, you go. So I get it. So, but anyway, back to this thing, because this I'm interested in this now. Yeah. So eight of the 48 teams in this year's World Cup, eight, 50% were not born in their country. The number one was Curakao. Yeah, Curacao, I think it is. Not one of their players were born in Curacao. None. Then DR Congo.

SPEAKER_02 31:47

Where are they born? In the jungle?

SPEAKER_01 31:49

Lukats. 20 players were not born in the Congo of their team.

SPEAKER_02 31:55

No, because if you play soccer in the Congo, think about it. If you're playing with the jungle in Africa, first of all, you gotta be careful. There's a lot of wild animals over there. You gotta break away with the ball, you're gonna run a fucking festival.

SPEAKER_01 32:08

Morocco, nine of Morocco's players were not born in Morocco. Where the fuck are they born? How about 17 players for Bosnia-Herzegovina were not born in Bosnia-Herzegovina? Okay, Algeria. 16 in Algeria, Qatar 13, Croatia 11. Iraq nine, they weren't in it. Canada, seven players on team Canada were not Canadian. Only five in Mexico, four in France, Switzerland three, Portugal two, Argentina two, Norway two, England one, Spain one, Germany one. That's it. And here are the ones with no teams with every player born in the country they play. Brazil for sure. Brazil, Sweden, Colombia, Austria, Czech, South Africa, Saudi Arabia, and Panama. Okay. So not really, not really the fucking World Cup. So let's look at who has the most World Cups. Brazil, five, right? Five, and then eight.

SPEAKER_03 33:11

Italy's going over there. Four. You got a little check four. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:15

No, Italy didn't really have.

SPEAKER_03 33:16

Oh, this is for just this World Cup. Yeah, this World Cup, yeah. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01 33:20

Scotland seven. United States has six players not born in the U.S. Donald Trump. Donald Trump is so much for six players not playing for your team that are not born in the U.S. Yeah, the World Cup de Catsu. The World Cup, anyway. That's an interesting thing stat. I did not know that. Terrible, yeah. Anyway, so uh that's interesting.

SPEAKER_02 33:39

See? That's why they gotta call the World Blender Cup.

SPEAKER_01 33:44

Yeah, that's it. World Blender Cup. Just play for the team that gives you citizenship. Because uh the problem with, for example, Curakau. Yeah. Okay, Curakao is uh most of their players are born in uh in the kingdom of the Netherlands. Oh, see. So you're not good enough to play for the Netherlands. You go over there. You go play over there. Exactly. That's it.

SPEAKER_02 34:04

Where's that place that they have a how the fuck do they qualify?

SPEAKER_01 34:07

Why Italy?

SPEAKER_02 34:08

You know Saint Martin, a lot of people go on holidays in the Caribbean, right? Yeah. Saint Martin is an island that they're owned by the Dutch people.

SPEAKER_01 34:15

That's right.

SPEAKER_02 34:15

Okay. And they speak French. And then one island to speak a French, one island to speak a Dutch. See? And a lot of those people they can't join a Holland that they go play down there.

SPEAKER_01 34:25

And this is why. How do you let Kirkau in with no fucking people on the team from the and you don't let Italy in? This is fucking crazy. Corruption. Unfucking believable. Well, anyway, that's an interesting thing. I did not I was not. Good point, Tony. Nice job. This is why our our uh podcast gives you education for the nation. So now you're gonna you're gonna have that. So all right. So what what you know before we uh so your prediction Argentina wins the World Cup. I thought we were gonna talk about the prediction I made before. I I have to, I don't know. We're gonna do at the end, I'm gonna put all this together and we're gonna show a quick uh big show, everybody. Not a big show, but we're just gonna go, okay, once it's all over and we pick the winner, we say, okay, Argentina won as predicted, but these are the results of our other predictions. Yes, sir. So let you say Argentina beats Switzerland, you say uh France beats Spain. Yeah, I I I don't think so. So Spain beats France. I don't think so. I hate them both, so I don't care. Spain beats France, Norway beats England. Yeah. What's the other one?

SPEAKER_02 35:28

And Argentina is gonna beat uh the Swiss cheese.

SPEAKER_01 35:30

There you go. Yeah, so it's gonna be Argentina. My prediction is gonna be Argentina and England in the final. In the final? The Falkland Islanders are gonna be back. Holy shit, though. That's true, eh? The fucking War of the Falkland Islands, that's what they're gonna be called. Because let's see, England, we're gonna be able to get the colour. England, yeah, here's why I say that. England, one foreign-born player, Argentina, one for two foreign-born player. That's why they're gonna they're gonna end up. I don't want well, Spain only has one, but France, how come it doesn't show France? France. Oh, France, they say four. Only four. Do you believe that? Oh, they're full of shit. They lie. They lie. Oh, they lie. I'm surprised that they have a graphic like that. That's a nice one, eh?

SPEAKER_02 36:12

Well, you know why they have it? Because it's important. A lot of people look on the field that something isn't all right. I don't understand. But by the way, that's just one more comment I gotta make about the Canadian soccer team. How come there's uh where's all the Italian people over there? We're number one in soccer in the world. You don't have one Italian player? The Woodbridge is strike over there. The kids in Woodbridge over here, they play fantastic. Well, why you don't look at those guys over there?

SPEAKER_05 36:35

Yeah, well. Okay. Yeah, why you don't look at those guys?

SPEAKER_02 36:38

Not even one Italian player in Canada. You know what? I think they're they say they always talk about the racers as Lucats. They raced the racist themselves. Fuck. They don't like an Italian player. They don't even give my challenge.

SPEAKER_01 36:50

It's easier to give citizenship to somebody than it is to recruit and build and and develop your own player, no? Well, yeah, I don't understand. You know what I mean? So hopefully that'll change over time. So, okay, so your my prediction is Argentina, England in the final.

SPEAKER_02 37:05

Yours is Well, first of all, I don't think uh It's a fucking question. No, no, you can't have it. You make a mistake. Argentina and and England, they're on the same side. They can only play semifinals.

SPEAKER_01 37:16

Oh, okay. So Argentina and England in the semifinal. Okay. Argentina and then Spain and France. Okay, so I I hate to say it, but I think it's gonna be Argentina and France in the final. And who's it gonna win? Argentina. I don't want France to win.

SPEAKER_02 37:28

Neither do I. Last time I remember uh Argentina, it beat the French, and uh I think a penalty shot for a year ago in Guitarra. You know what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 37:35

Like they don't know who Pepe Le Pew is over there.

SPEAKER_02 37:38

They don't know you don't know Pepe Le Pew.

SPEAKER_01 37:40

Everybody knows Pepe Le Pew anyway. So I want to end uh this little show today with um say something about they just released sort of the uh the neighborhoods. I want to say something. Go ahead. Four million Italians immigrated to the United States in the late 1800s and early. 1880 to be a Zecca. Yeah, late 1800s into the 1900s, four million Italians. 1.2 million of them settled in where? Uh-huh.

SPEAKER_03 38:08

Uh Mulberry's city. New York. New York.

SPEAKER_01 38:10

New York City. And those fuckers built the entire fucking city. You better believe it. They built buildings, bridges, fucking subways. The Italians were the and the Irish too. Yeah, a lot of people die help build another country. Yeah. This fucking new mayor in New York, and I don't care who he is and what his his agenda is, they just released a uh so the neighborhoods, the most important immigrant-based, fluential neighborhoods, and they excluded the Italians and the Irish. They erase the history. Do you fucking believe that? Because he's a story. He's a cavona, that's it. Why? And yet you, you know what I mean? They don't realize how where they would fucking be. They'd be still be in the fucking caves in the fucking mountains wherever they fucking came from. If it wasn't the Italians built the greatest.

SPEAKER_02 38:58

Well, look at her face. He's ugly too, cuts.

SPEAKER_01 39:00

You know, and trying to s anyway, very disappointing there. Disgusting. And you know, Italians are the greatest people in the world. I don't care if the fuck what they're doing. Most civilized people in the world. And you know, chin up and you know, vote this fucker out. Like, get off your ass and vote. You can't just be complaining in New York. Next vote. The Italians, if they got the up and fucking and you know, we needed another Italian like Giuliani. That's who fucking changed New York for that matter. No, it's gone, it's gone to shit ever since. Yeah, we're cleared up.

SPEAKER_02 39:32

Giuliani's gonna be good. Even better than Giuliani for me. We need another Gambino to take care of the business.

SPEAKER_01 39:38

That's true, or LaGuardia.

SPEAKER_03 39:40

Yeah, see what I mean?

SPEAKER_01 39:41

Yeah, yeah. Anyway, so just want to say that. Very disappointing. Don't want to end on a negative note, but fuck, Italians, you know, chin up with this, you know. They uh they don't really realize, you know. We know who we are.

SPEAKER_02 39:53

Italian is it's a disgusting, but those are people like Mam Dani, very they're not even low class, they're beyond the low class.

SPEAKER_01 40:00

And he's another one. Like, how can they make a fucking how can you get a uh become an official if you're not born in the country? How the fuck is that even possible?

SPEAKER_02 40:10

Because they make us set up the uh the higher up people with bigger money, throw them in there because they have to.

SPEAKER_01 40:15

But you can't, like it's gotta like you have to be you know if you're not born in a country, I can't decide that I'm gonna move to fucking uh, I don't know. There's a good let's have a you know what? I'm gonna run for mayor. Like, I shouldn't have the privilege to do that. I wasn't born there, right? So if I have to run for office, any office, I don't give a fuck if it's uh uh a school board trustee. You gotta be born in the fucking country. That's the point, yeah. That's what they should fucking change. Not that you have some fucking Omar or this and that and can't pronounce their last fucking names becoming mayors and fucking Senate Senate governors out. You know what I mean? It doesn't fucking matter. Look who the who runs the uh the NDP in Canada.

SPEAKER_02 40:56

Remember one thing, Tony. I I close with this. Whoever goes into office, even uh I know you have a problem even in Canada, the a lot of mayor over there, the West, the coast, all these people. They all the ideology they they have in their head, the religion they bring over here, they bring the same thing to the office. All those people left their fucking country because they fucked it up over there. Now they come over here and they fuck it up over here. They try and it's not gonna work, baby. Because the people are gonna revolution against your stupidity. I hope so too.

SPEAKER_01 41:30

I don't know.

SPEAKER_02 41:30

I'm ready to peace tinyway. If I have to fight, I still throw a couple of good shit. Yeah, well, no kidding.

SPEAKER_01 41:37

Anyway, um let's see, I'm trying to think something. Uh that's nice now.
