00:00That's V-E-R-D-S-A
00:04Quick Sports Eastside Dave, what's up?
00:07Well, we're going to start with the World Cup because the U.S. beat Iran in World Cup action yesterday.
00:14USA!
00:15Game 3 of group play and because they did, 1-0 by the way is the score, or 1-0 if you're British.
00:23But with the U.S. winning, they make it to the round of 16, a.k.a. the knockout round.
00:31So that's really awesome.
00:33Sometimes, I mean, the last two World Cups, America hasn't even qualified to play in them.
00:37True that.
00:38Let alone in the years where we qualify and we make it to the World Cup, we plenty of times don't even get out of group.
00:44So we've gotten out of group with the win.
00:46I always find the group play kind of confusing because I'm never quite sure what the math is.
00:51Because this knockout round is nice and simple.
00:54Like if you win, you stay in.
00:55If you lose, you go home.
00:56It's like basically they've made the Sweet 16 of March Madness.
01:01It's the same equivalent there.
01:02We're now in a, yeah, sudden death, one and done elimination tournament.
01:07But it's going to be awesome.
01:08America faces the Netherlands on Saturday, December 3rd at 10 a.m.
01:14Okay, we got our work cut out for us.
01:16Get out, you know, get ready.
01:18They're a pretty good team, aren't they?
01:19Head to the bar, wherever you watch the game, it's going to be a good, gosh, that's a perfect
01:24excuse right there to show them.
01:25Good morning.
01:27Kegs and eggs action.
01:28I mean, come on, man.
01:29That's pints, man.
01:309.45 a.m. on a Saturday.
01:32This Saturday sounds good to me.
01:33This game was a little rough for the Iranians because this is a team that didn't sing their
01:39own national anthem earlier in the World Cup.
01:42Yeah.
01:42They got a visit from the man.
01:44Uh-oh.
01:45And their family members got visits.
01:48Oh, my God.
01:48The Iranian National Guard, the Revolutionary Guard.
01:51Yikes.
01:52No way.
01:52What's with you people not singing the national anthem, huh?
01:55It's, uh, that was.
01:57Yeah.
01:57Yeah.
01:58By the way, that guy, Christian Pulisic, that's the star for America.
02:03He went, he was the one who scored the goal.
02:05He went down with, uh, a, uh, just an awful injury where it was inadvertent.
02:10The goalie spiked him right into the, in the stomach slash groin area.
02:14I don't know.
02:15On the play, right?
02:15On the play.
02:16On the goal.
02:16On the goal.
02:17Is he okay?
02:17It was incredible.
02:18And I, I, I am assuming he's going to try and gut it out on Saturday, but then again,
02:24I don't know, but they need him.
02:26That guy is good.
02:27He was the guy who scored, who hit the crossbar against Wales.
02:30He's always the guy who's about to make the play.
02:32And then yesterday he made the play by getting the one, the only goal in the rant.
02:36I like the replays of the world cup.
02:38I like are all the flops.
02:39Yeah.
02:40You know, the wind blows and they fall over and they grab their kneecap.
02:43Yeah.
02:44And then some guy comes out these days and sprays them with like Lysol or something.
02:48I don't know what the hell.
02:49What, what, what are you spraying on the guy's shin when he does?
02:52There was a guy who played, I get what game it was on, but it was like the Scott Sterling
02:58guy.
02:58He got blasted in the face.
03:00Oh, I love that video.
03:01Oh my God.
03:02I got to go watch that.
03:03That's classic.
03:04Scott Sterling.
03:04Yeah.
03:06That's the goal.
03:07Hits the crossbar.
03:08Yeah.
03:08Bounces and gets him back in the face.
03:10Oh man.
03:11Go check that out in the, in the pit.
03:13Um, basketball, the Knicks crushed the Pistons last night, 140 to 110.
03:18And the Knicks, Julius Randall had a huge game.
03:2036 points, seven rebounds, five assists for Julius, uh, Jalen Brunson, RJ Barrett, and
03:26Quinton Grimes all had 16 points each as well.
03:30The Knicks improved to 10 and 11 for the season.
03:33The Nets and 76ers both off last night.
03:35This evening, the Nets take on the Wizards in Brooklyn and the Sixers play the Cavs in
03:40Cleveland.
03:40Hockey.
03:41The Flyers beat the Islanders three to one.
03:44Flyers, Kevin Hayes scored two goals in the win.
03:47The Devils and Rangers were both inactive tonight.
03:50The Rangers face the Senators in Ottawa.
03:53The Devils play tomorrow when they take on the Predators football.
03:57Deshaun Watson will make his first start as quarterback for the Cleveland Browns on Sunday
04:02after serving the 11 game suspension due to sexual misconduct allegations.
04:07And amazingly, the Browns are going to be playing Watson's former team, the Texans, in Houston.
04:15And there's going to be controversy.
04:18The attorney for 10 of the two dozen accusers is bringing 10 of those accusers to the game.
04:26It will be outside the stadium.
04:28Do you think it's just coincidence that this first game back is against that team?
04:33No, I think Roger Goodell 100% planned this.
04:36Set that up.
04:37100%.
04:37Just to get some coverage.
04:3811 games is a weird number anyway.
04:40Yeah.
04:41You usually suspend people on even numbers, honestly.
04:44Yeah.
04:44It's usually four, six, eight.
04:46So the number 11 has always been a head scratcher.
04:50I guarantee you this is the reason why.
04:52Roger Goodell wanted a big thing with Deshaun Watson going back to Texas.
04:56And finally, golf.
04:59Someone asked Tiger Woods, is there any possibility for the PGA Tour and the Saudi Arabian Live Tour to get along?
05:08And Tiger says they would have to fire Live CEO and golfing legend Greg Norman.
05:16Tiger stated, quote, I think Greg has to go, first of all.
05:20All right.
05:21So Tiger does not want to see any more of the great white shark.
05:26Greg Norman has become a very polarizing person because he's the first guy to have embraced this Live Golf Tour.
05:34And he's the one, you know, basically advising the Saudi Arabian people to just throw millions and millions of monies at the golfers and just blow away the PGA Tour with strict cash.
05:44You never hear a beef being on a golf course before, you know?
05:47Not really, no.
05:48Not since Tappy Gilmore and Bob Barker gots.
05:51Now you're going to get it, Bobby.
05:54Place is wrong, bitch.
05:56That is your quick look at sports.
05:58On the wrap.
