Let's talk about the best players of this World Cup.
Yeah.
Let's start at the top with Rodri, the midfielder and captain of Spain, winning the Ballon d'Or.
For you, who is the top five players, after him- I would say- in the ranking of the World Cup?
I would say Messi.
Mm-hmm.
I would say Mbapp, of course, in terms of the goals.
I would also say Bellingham.
Bellingham had two amazing performances, two goals against Mexico.
And I would say Dembl also had great performances, and that's about it.
That's, that's the players that came out.
You know who, you know- You I don't know about this.
I didn't like this, this award at all.
Unai Simn was a, a- awarded the, the best goalkeeper of the World Cup just because he only conceded once, but I don't think it was really on him.
No, not at all.
I think that there were so many good goalkeepers.
So many.
I think Pickford was- Pickford did amazing.
Pickford was extraordinary throughout the whole World Cup- Mm-hmm saving the team in critical moments.
Mm-hmm.
The same Dibu Martnez also had a clutch performance in the final.
Mm-hmm.
He lost eventually, but he saved- Yeah Argentina from going- Mm-hmm 2-0, 3-0 very quickly.
Mm-hmm.
I would say even the, the Cape Verde.
Cape Verde.
Vozinha was a spectacular goalkeeper.
Mm-hmm.
We said a lot of good things about Cape Verde, but Cape Verde was the only team that put both the finalists in check- Mm-hmm during the World Cup.
Yeah.
So Cape Verde, you should be very proud of yourself because not only you were the sensation of the tournament, but you were able to hold both finalists to ties, showing that you compete at the highest level.
How important it is that we get excited about these smaller teams- Mm-hmm because the next World Cup, Noah, is rumored to have not 48 like this, but 64 teams- 64 for the next World Cup.
I'm so excited.
I mean, I, I can't wait to see how Cape Verde comes out in the next World Cup.
I can't wait to see how Morocco comes out.
Yes.
They've gotten so close the past two World Cups, and now part of the World Cup is gonna be in Morocco, I think.
That's right.
So I'm very curious to see these, these smaller teams come up.
2030 we're going to Paraguay, Uruguay, Argentina to celebrate the hundred years of the tournament, and then we fly to Morocco, Portugal, and Spain- Wow for another jointly hosted tournament.
64 teams.
Wow.
The beauty of it is that we're not gonna have this weird third place algorithm decision.
Yeah.
We're going back to the top two teams- Mm-hmm of 30, of, of, you know, to create 32- Mm-hmm the round of 16 right after the first round.
Wow.
So much more straightforward.
Mm-hmm.
The teams are not gonna be speculating if they can advance with two or three ties.
Mm-hmm.
Now you're gonna have to play on the group stage- You are otherwise you're gonna go home.
Cutthroat.
