00:03 First off, they beat the brakes out of France.
00:07 I mean, they beat them down in their performance.
00:11 They kind of just looked at France and said,
00:13 "Well, if we saw Edwin Fournier, who I do believe had 19 points in the first half,
00:18 only 2 in the second half."
00:19 And that's the thing.
00:20 And we'll get to France in a little bit, because let's be honest,
00:23 the way this is looking, French is about to be French toast,
00:27 if you know what I'm saying, because that bad guy got stale real quick.
00:31 Real, real quick.
00:32 But when you talk about Canada, their ability to score
00:37 and have such a dynamic playmaker in SGA has become apparent.
00:44 And if you look at the game versus -- listen, Lebanon is, you know,
00:48 this is like the Globetrotters going against the Washington Generals.
00:51 I get it. I get it.
00:53 But you hang 128 on Lebanon.
00:56 You didn't play Lou Dort, and you only got 12 at SGA.
01:01 But Edwin gave you 13.
01:03 Powell gave you 9.
01:04 RJ Bradd gave you 17.
01:05 Alenicu, who was a very good international player, gave you 12.
01:09 You get a lot of -- and it's just real quick.
01:13 I just said the French were about to be French toast.
01:16 Oh, yeah, they toast, because they just lost to Lafayette
01:19 without Poizengis 88-86.
01:22 Game just went final.
01:23 But when you look at that Canada team, even a guy like Zach Eaddy,
01:27 Dylan Brooks, they have -- ready, folks?
01:30 They have pros.
01:32 They have pros on their team, guys with NBA experience,
01:36 and they have done a great job at Canada in leading up to this.
01:42 And they are the come up.
01:44 And I think it will be interesting to see now that you look at --
01:47 you thought about the odds.
01:49 I thought last I thought maybe Canada was like 8 plus 8, 50, 9, 50,
01:53 along with France.
01:55 The way they're playing, and especially if the U.S. doesn't, like,
01:58 just annihilate Greece, could we see Canada move to, like, a 6-1
02:03 or a 5-1 or a 4-1?
02:07 I think there's a possibility because the next team in it is France,
02:12 and France has been knocked out.
02:14 Australia lost to Germany today.
02:16 So there is a chance where you're going to look at a team like Canada
02:20 and say they are a dark horse.
02:24 They're the runner-up, the witness.
02:26 So to me, I think it's worth a play that if you wanted to say split your bet,
02:31 USA, Canada, split your money, one of those two are going to probably win
02:37 the World Cup unless you get a surprise coming out of Europe like Germany.
