World Cup Drama, Can USA Make a Run?

Paraguay's dramatic penalty shootout upset over Germany leads Joe Rose and Dave Hyde into a discussion about the pressure of performing in the biggest moments and Team USA's chances of making a deep World Cup run. The guys also react to Uruguay reportedly making its players pay their own way home after a disappointing tournament exit. Dave shares why he's not a fan of deciding matches with penalty kicks, sparking a broader conversation about rule changes in sports, including MLB's pitch clock, ghost runner, the ABS challenge system, and the role of umpires. Joe wraps up the segment with a funny story about former MLB pitcher Al Leiter and his memorable relationship with umpires.
