Transcript

so this match between Colombia and Portugal starts in about 30 minutes, is the most important sporting event, because if Colombia wins or ties, they win the group, and they go over here on this side of the bracket. Put in Portugal over here. But if Portugal wins, it flip-flops. And if they win and Portugal goes over here, there are two games between a Ronaldo and Messi, Ronaldo and Messi appearance in the World Cup that has never happened before. Now, you might be like, oh, what's the big deal? It's soccer. Let me show you. Shohei Ohtani is the most followed baseball player, to my knowledge, about 11 million followers. Odell Beckham Jr. is the most followed NFL player, again, to my knowledge, about 16 million followers. LeBron James. Different league, different level. 154 million followers. But that doesn't even come close to Lionel Messi. 500 million followers. More than the entire country of America. And that's not the story, because Cristiano Ronaldo of Portugal has 669 million followers on the gram. And I know followers aren't everything, but if that's just a taste of over a billion people that would be interested in this quarter final match up potential. Again, a lot has to happen. But again, they've never faced each other with their countries. They're both the goats in the debate. And for Americans, like getting a chance to see Michael Jordan play against LeBron James, but on the world level. And it's both of their last dances. Both of them. And so for today, I'm sorry, Colombia. I'm rooting against you. And to be fair, do you really wanna go up against Argentina in the quarter finals? Probably not. There is no path to the World Cup final. But if we get to witness Messi versus Ronaldo, it could be the most watch sporting event ever. Period.
