Lobbing Scorchers, Ari Liljenwall and Noah Riffe get ready for the biggest match Seattle has hosted at this World Cup. The USMNT are returning to Lumen Field for a Round of 16 rematch with Belgium and a place in the quarterfinals on the line. Is Belgium the beatable opponent everyone is making them out to be after nearly dropping their group stage match to Senegal?
This week's Agenda Check: Is this the biggest match Seattle has ever hosted? Ricardo Pepi or Haji Wright as the Balogun replacement? And is Morocco still a Cinderella story after taking down the Netherlands, or should we officially count Achraf Hakimi and company among the world's elite?
Ari and Noah round out the show with a Yellow Card or Red Card game reviewing the tournament's most questionable moments so far, including Iran's ongoing World Cup issues, cooling breaks, New York hosting the final, the USA Country Roads celebration, pitch invaders holding crypto gambling ads, and the new automated offsides system. Plus Canada grinding out a late winner over South Africa, Messi chasing records that could make this the greatest individual World Cup run ever, Paraguay stunning Germany on penalties in maybe the funniest result of the tournament, and predictions on the favorites and dark horses left in the field.
