The World Cup Started in Pure Chaos & Does USA Have it?

from The Football Show · host Break FC & BIZBROS

Day two of the 2026 World Cup and it's already chaos. I'm breaking down the wildest opening day I can remember... three red cards in the very first game (that's never happened before), a referee nobody in the stadium could understand, and Mexico grinding out a home win at the Azteca that still left Aguirre furious.Then it gets real. Why is Fox stuffing commercials into a World Cup broadcast? (Do yourself a favor and watch on Telemundo.) Korea showed up with a comeback for the ages. And before USA vs Paraguay, I drop a take that might not make me popular... I don't think the USA has it.Plus the anthem change Del Piero pushed for that gave me chills, the ref-cam cyborg meme, the top 5 goal-scoring nations in World Cup history, and why every boot on the pitch is pink.One mic, all my takes, zero filter.
