Video Transcript
I have a team.
I wanna ask you, what team was your biggest letdown?
Because I have one, and it's Germany.
I was gonna say the same thing.
Germany.
Yeah, I think it's kind of- And I'm happy that Paraguay won- Mm-hmm but I don't think anybody was expecting Germany to lose that game.
Yeah.
I mean, what, what, what did you expect in that game?
I definitely expected them to win.
Mm-hmm.
Absolutely.
It just kind of wasn't a thought in my mind.
Yeah.
But my question is, is this a deep-rooted problem?
Is there something that we're not seeing behind the screens, or was this just, you know, just a bad performance?
I couldn't tell you.
I don't know.
Yeah, I mean, h- I don't know.
I haven't seen much from Germany honestly.
I mean, they, they were by far no favorite in this tournament.
Mm-hmm.
I think we expected them to go f- further, maybe beat Paraguay- and perhaps make it to the sweet 16, but it was definitely an upset for Germany and their fans.
Yeah.
So I, I'm very sorry for them.
But again, this is an amazing, you know- Yeah underdog story for Paraguay to make it to the round of 16.
Definitely.
And I think someone who's not happy and is probably shaking in his boots is Flick, who is the coach of the German national team.
Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.
There's already talks- about him potentially not being asked back to be the manager.
I'm gonna say I'm gla- I don't like him.
Okay.
I, I don't like I'm just gonna be honest.
I don't like his attitude.
Mm-hmm.
And I think, I just don't like it.
You know?
He, he seems like a very, like, I don't know.
He's mad and he-he's- He's mad angry in not the best way, I think so And, and real quick, give me one or two.
What are some players you've seen that have really been giving it their all for their team?
I would say, I think Senegal's coach- Mm-hmm has done an amazing job- Mm-hmm even though they unfortunately just lost their game.
I Oh, another coach.
Morocco's.
Morocco's coach.
Morocco's coach.
I was hoping you would say that.
He's dressed up.
Mm-hmm.
He's dressed.
He's got his glasses, his suit.
He's, he's- He is not a joke.
This, this series he's got his hair and I mean, their team is playing absolutely amazing.
Mm-hmm.
I love the way Morocco is playing.
So kudos to him for building a great team and, showing himself, you know?
Mm-hmm.
I agree.
I think Morocco, everybody has said Morocco is the underdog entry- Mm-hmm of this tournament.
I think so.
I mean, like, we saw in the first half of the- Mm-hmm you know, Brazil game.
Really?
They, they were, in the first 20 minutes, absolutely annihilating Brazil.
