Colin is joined by Nick Wright, host of “First Things First” on FS1 and the “What’s Wright” podcast, live from the Hard Rock Bet party bus. They start with the USMNT looking far better than anticipated (4:00), the World Cup being absolutely incredible through the group stage (8:30), and what their expectations are for the USMNT in the knockout stage (12:15). They laud coach Mauricio Pochettino’s aggressive style of play (17:00) note the African nations for being very competitive at the tournament (20:30), look ahead to how the bracket could play out and explain why Bosnia is a must-win game for the US (26:00). They pivot to the NBA and react to the Heat trading for Giannis (31:45) and the Wolves trading for LaMelo Ball (44:00), preview the Colombia/Portugal game and react to the fans coming to the World Cup falling in love with American culture (58:00). Finally, they make their predictions for the winner of the World Cup (1:06:00). All lines provided by @hardrockbet (Timestamps may vary based on advertisements.)
