Video Transcript
A, a, a date with history, my friends.
England should be defeating el Congo- Yeah the Democratic Republic of Congo.
Mm-hmm.
And then we will have an England, Mexico game in the round of 16- That just gave me chills.
That just gave me chills maybe change the course of history and get a revenge- Oh because England has been the one to beat Mexico in some of the most painful- Yeah ways in past World Cup.
So- In the round of, yeah, 16.
And then Brazil versus Norway, Mexico versus England for a quarterfinal- Oh of Mexico versus Brazil.
For me, that is my favorite matchup, my friend.
Yeah.
Because if there's a team that Mexico knows how to beat- It's Brazil it's Brazil.
Yeah.
Brazil probably is very worried to face Mexico in Mexico City- Yeah for that round.
It would be crazy, my friend.
Oh, I think at that point it wouldn't be in Mexico.
It wouldn't?
I think at that point they will be in the United States.
I think they just have this game- But it, it you, it depends where in the United States.
It's still- If it's LA, dude, oh my God Mex- it's, it's Mexico, it's Mexico 2.0 it's Mexico, dude.
Somos locales.
Somos locales, papa.
Then Argentina versus Cabo Verde, Cape Verde.
This is a, this ma- Cabo Verde has been- It's impossible it's impossible.
It's impossible.
And in, it, but it makes me so sad- Yeah because I think this team do well, and I think they deserve to get farther.
But this is a great history.
Yeah.
Just to have the opportunity to have a knockout play, a knockout game- Against Argentina against the current champion- Yeah for a country of that size that is coming for the first time, that has scored for the first time- And, and eliminated that have, that haven't lost.
Yeah.
That this is a team that have not lost in the World Cup.
They've never lost in the history of World Cup.
Yeah.
They're, they're- They can say that estn invictos in the World Cup, my friend.
It, there's, this is, this is history in the making.
Yeah.
Practically, if Argentina does not come and look for the game and they're the team attacking and trying to- Yeah beat them four or five zero- Yeah Cabo Verde can be a very difficult team.
Yeah.
If they just manage to keep that zero and go to extra times and penalties- Eight, 10 with that goalkeeper living the fantasy that he's living- Yeah Buzinha, aye, aye, aye.
Then Australia versus Egypt.
Argentina has an easy path, my friend.
Yeah.
They have to beat Cabo Verde, then either Australia or Egypt, they should- I, I, I- I'm a bit scared about Egypt because Mo Salah- I would say the same, yeah Mo Salah could destroy any team.
Yeah.
I think that he's, he's, he's the, the X factor for these two games.
Yeah.
Then Switzerland versus Algeria, I'm gonna go with the, with the Swiss- I'm gonna go with the Swiss, yeah 'cause they play better.
Algeria, o- the only saving grace that I see is that the goalkeeper, Sidane- Comes through you know, comes through- Yeah has a great night.
then Colombia versus Ghana.
Aye, aye, aye.
Colombia is a great team.
They- Yeah they've shown that, you know- Yeah that they're gonna be one of my favorites.
Yeah.
But in front of they have Ghana that just scored so many goals, dude.
I know.
Came through with scoring five goals- Yeah when they needed it to move on to the next phase.
Yeah, and has that momentum behind them.
That's gonna be one of my top games to watch.
Colombia hasn't scored a lot of goals coming out of the group stage.
