Ocho Finally Meets a Comedian Who KNOWS Ball: Godfrey Turns Soccer Into Stand-Up

Comedian Godfrey pulls up on The Late Run and gives Raheem and Chad "Ochocinco" Johnson the most honest take American soccer has heard: he never wants the USA to win a World Cup, and he's got reasons. He breaks down how Nigeria's government wasted a generation of talent while Pablo Escobar was out here funding Colombian soccer, crowns Pele over everybody, does a Kevin Garnett impression that needs to be studied, and finally gives Ocho his flowers for actually knowing ball. Plus the Karl-Anthony Towns story where Godfrey takes credit for a championship, and why soccer will never grow in America without a personality leading it.
