Transcript

This is the most nervous I've been for a game in my entire life. I have $25,000 on the United States winning the entirety of the World Cup. And if they do, I will finally have like, viable enough profit to think about cashing out. And I know I've never done that shit before. I've never cashed out. But this soccer shit is different, gang. It's a whole different level of anxiety. I don't know if my heart can take another game. But if they lose, it's all for nothing. The flag, the US pride, it's all for nothing, bro. I don't know how to feel, bro. Part of me, I'm insanely scared. I'm not gonna lie, I'm insanely scared. Um, everyone says Belgium is pretty good, but I don't think we're losing this game, gang. There are so many doubters, man. So many ball-knowers, soccer gurus saying I'm stupid. You just donated $25k. The USA isn't making it past the round of 16. But if we went today, we proved all those motherfuckers wrong. I can't wait. And I'm not gonna lie, I think it's divine intervention. Because the other day, our best player was out with a red card. It was cooked. We had our best striker on the sidelines. But then we made that call. The call that only the USA can make. And don't be happening for nobody else. And he's back. He's back tonight. This is the most patriotic I've ever felt in my life. I feel every single bit of red, white, and blue coursing through my veins. Everything. It's for the right name. Fuck yeah. I'm not scared anymore. We're gonna colonize this sport. Bitch, sucker. Bitch, sucker. Canada is gone. Mexico is gone. So all y'all motherfuckers in the US with the Mexican jersey, y'all gotta be respected. Y'all were fire. I was going in, watch parties, dancing, going crazy. Switch that bitch out. Put the flag on, cuz we winning this shit. Ride with me. USA and four.
