USA Dominates Paraguay, "Best Half of Soccer Ever"

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/1dc99e50-8434-4b3a-b091-b46801010a09/transcript

Colin reacts to the USMNT winning their round of 32 knockout game against Bosnia-Herzegovina.

He starts with the red card issued to star US striker Falarin Balogan and argues it was clearly the wrong call and purely incidental contact rather than a reckless tackle (3:30). He declares Malik Tillman’s free kick potentially the best free kick ever struck by the USMNT (6:00).

He pivots to the NBA and breaks down the Celtics trading Jaylen Brown to the 76ers for Paul George plus picks. He believes the problem is Jaylen Brown thinking he’s the smartest man in every room and Brad Stevens wanted out of the contract (9:30). 

Finally, he expresses optimism for the USMNT’s chances against Belgium in the round of 16 (15:00).

Nick Wright On An Incredible World Cup, USMNT Expectations, Giannis & Lamelo Trades

https://api.omny.fm/orgs/e73c998e-6e60-432f-8610-ae210140c5b1/clips/fb5526be-55b2-4ba6-8bf5-b477016933c4/transcript

Colin’s top takes of the week.

First, he’s joined by Danny Parkins, host of “First Things First” on FS1.

They start with the World Cup and Colin argues that even non-soccer fans can spot greatness on the soccer field, and that the USMNT has looked great so far, and even though we may not win it… we’ve substantially closed the gap with the world’s best teams (3:30).

Colin points to changes made by Adam Silver leading to a new NBA Finals champion every year and that parity has been better than dynasties for the sport (12:30).  

Then, Colin is joined by Mike Mulvihill, President of Insights and Analytics for FOX Sports.

They start with FOX’s process for predicting the TV numbers for the World Cup to advertisers,  and Mike explains that the viewership is similar to two full NFL regular seasons and will reach around 150 million viewers (24:30). He also discusses the breakdown between casual and die-hard soccer fans (27:00).

Finally, they discuss the impact of Messi and Ronaldo’s star power (30:30),  and dive into the rise of soccer culture in the United States in recent years (33:00).
