So the World Cup matches we watched, we saw what happened. So let's kind of go through a couple of them, right? So who got kicked out? So, you know, England beats Norway, England beats Norway and Holland, which, by the way, if you watch that game, there's a clip that you have where this one teammate of Holland could have passed to him twice. He didn't. There's all this commentary afterwards. The clip we're playing is from a fan, so we can show it. It's not a clip from ESPN. So I want you to see this clip here.
This right here is Alexander Solroth, who is going in, and look who is wide open. Who do you see is wide open? That guy is Holland.
He's the guy.

**SPEAKER_3** (1:01)
Look at him! Give the fricking pass!

**Patrick Bet-David** (1:04)
So guess what? He wants to be the scorer. And then Holland's like, what are you doing? And by the way, in the post-game interview, he even said, we could have made some better decisions. You can tell he's defeated. Give me the flip. There's a reason why he's the number three scorer in his first World Cup for Norway. All he had to do was pass, this goes over time. Who knows what happened? So who ends up winning? England. And by the way, there's a few people that won millions, if not tens of millions of new fans. Holland is probably at the top of that list. Messi's always had him. Ronaldo's always had it. Vecenio is the one that probably won the most. The goalie is like, holy shit, who is this guy? Now he's going to Inter Miami. But let me tell you what's going on here that's very interesting.
So no one's talking about, everyone's saying Spain's gonna win it. France is gonna win it. Argentina's gonna win it. You know who no one's talking about? No one's talking about England. You're not talking about England. And you know who's England about to face? Argentina.
And guess what? You know when's the last time they faced? It's the hand of God. You know which goal I'm talking about. If they had VAR back in the days, Argentina ain't winning the World Cup, just so you know that. It would have been the hand of God. So check this out. The coach of England is the third non-British coach they've ever had. Third non-British coach they've ever had.
And UK, England, they have two of the top five biggest scores in this World Cup in England. Kane and Bellingham. If I'm saying it correctly, correct me there, Jake, if I'm not saying it correctly. Okay, while this is going on, England in 2025 decides to go get this coach. His name is Thomas Tuchel, Tou-kale, Tou-kale, however we want to pronounce it. And this guy, just to kind of give you his resume, he was a soccer player as a kid. He was a defender. His father coached him. He tried to go pro. He played some minor league type of soccer stuff.
At 25 years old, he gets an injury. He decides to go into business, and then he goes and becomes a bartender while he's trying to be a coach. And then eventually, he gets the opportunity. He's 52 years old. Later on, after retiring, he ends up coaching, and he ends up winning his first major trophy with Borussia Dortmund, lifting Germany Cup in 2017
Then at PSG, he won League One, then took PSG to their first ever championship league final in 2020 They lost to Bayern Munich, a team that he beat when he was with Dortmund.
Then he becomes a Champions League winner with Chelsea in 2021, beating Manchester City in the final. This is a legit coach here.
Then he won the UEFA Super Cup and FIFA World Cup with Chelsea in 2021 Then he's named the FIFA Coach of the Year in 2021 Now he's his reputation. This is the part that gets tricky, and it's all about leadership and business. He's got a reputation of being a tactician, being a perfectionist, and super demanding with his players. Super demanding with his players, which you know what ends up happening because of this personality that he has? They win the game. When they win the game, he doesn't sound like a coach that is happy about them winning the game. And he kind of calls out the team, and Bellingham didn't like it. This is what the coach had to say, and then I'll show you what Bellingham had to say. Go forward.
