It's nights like this that we really, really appreciate. We appreciate you all the time, but really, there's really, we didn't really have a lead in tonight. We didn't have no, I mean, we can talk about the game, but that ended four or five hours ago. And you know, normally, we like to come on as soon as the event's over, you get our fresh instant reaction, something that we didn't have an opportunity to prepare for other than just watching it.
And so we really appreciate nights like this, that you guys take time out of your busy schedule or you're at work or you're just sitting around with family, friends and loved ones to watch Nightcap, Ochocinco and Iso. So again, thank you for your support.

Please drink responsibly and stay safe. Well, we know who Spain is going to play in the World Cup final. Argentina came from behind and scored twice in six minutes against England to reach the World Cup, trailing 1-0 going into the 85th minute. Enzo Fernandez substituted for Lutato Martinez, both scored. Messi had largely kept quiet until he left it. Fed Fernandez to equalize from outside the box in the 85th minute. And with two minutes to stop his time, Messi set a cross to Martinez, and went on completing two assists in the 2-1 victory. Guess what, Ochocinco?

**Chad Johnson** (3:48)
Yes, sir.

**Shannon Sharpe** (3:49)
He just won the Golden Boot. Yeah, I mean, listen, because he got eight goals in what, four assists now?

**Chad Johnson** (3:55)
Yeah.
Hey, can I tell you something? Just to talk about this real quick, for those of you in the chat that didn't watch the game, Joe and Unc, I mean, obviously, you watched the game. England dominated the first, hey, listen, let me finish. The first 58 minutes of the game, Unc and Joe, they dominated the game. Upon that domination and attacking effort from them, they happened to score a goal, right?

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:17)
Yeah.

**Chad Johnson** (4:17)
They score a goal. You know what their head coach decided to do?

**Shannon Sharpe** (4:21)
What's that? Park it.

**Chad Johnson** (4:22)
We gon park the bus, change the formation, change the tactics and just play defense. They changed the formations to a 5-4-1. Harry Kane up top by himself, five people in the back, another layer, four players, and that's what they decided to do. So what we're gonna do is, we're not gonna play to win the game. We're not gonna keep attacking. We gon sit back and hope we can withstand whatever pressure they apply.
