Nick Wize opens the show celebrating the Rays' sixth straight victory, reminding everyone that this team may be back even tho Nick wanted to call the losing streak a trend; rather than a slump.

Former USF Hall of Fame goalkeeper Jeff Attinella joins the show to preview Team USA's World Cup Round of 32 matchup with Bosnia and break down the biggest surprises of the tournament. Nick and Producer Tim debate Baker Mayfield's place among the NFL's quarterbacks, argue over which sport has the best overtime format, react to the Lightning's NHL Free Agency additions, and hand out the Nick Wize Show Rays Half-Season Awards after discussing the hefty trade price for Tarik Skubal.
