Speaker 1 (00:00):
Today, Spain will face off against Belgium in the quarterfinals
and look to be brutally honest with all of you,
I've never forgiven Belgium for beating Team USA in the
round of sixteen. To me, they were clearly the better team,

(00:20):
no question about it. But after they be Team USA,
it's to me anybody but Belgium. Now to give the
Belgians their due. They have quality players, no question. Some
of their strikers have real squill a skill quality finishing.
Their midfield is very solid, and their defensive backs can

(00:43):
hold their own against any team in the World Cup.
But they are a top ten team, but they're not
a first tier team. Today They're going to meet a
first tier, top level team in Spain. Outside of France,
I believe Spain is the only other country that can
legitimately win the World Cup. And I think Spain is

(01:06):
going to take Belgium to school today. They're gonna beat them.
I'm not saying it's going to be a crushing or
dominating performance because the Belgians, as I said, have some talent,
they have organization, they play very good as a team,
they're in sync, they're disciplined. This is not going to
be an easy match for Spain, but Spain may have

(01:27):
the best midfield in the entire tournament. They possess the ball,
they dominate the ball. They've got some superb strikers up front,
and I believe that defensively they will shut down Belgium
as they've done every other team, and then it will
set up the all important match, which is to me,

(01:49):
almost the World Cup final, even though it's the semi final.
The two best teams in the tournament France versus Spain.
France to me should be the favorite. I saw them
yesterday against Morocco. They won two zero. It could have
been four or five zero. They are the complete package.

(02:09):
It was absolutely devastating. They were steamrolled Morocco, and Morocco
was a good team. France has it all superstars, an
impressive midfield, almost an unbreakable defensive backs. Their defense is
second to none, but it is their passing, their possession,

(02:32):
their precision, the talent. They are sol loaded in almost
every single position. I believe clearly they are the best
team at this World Cup and maybe the only country
that can beat them on a bad day is Spain.
Spain has a lot of firepower, They're well coached. They

(02:55):
are a superb soccer squad. They won the Yearupean Championship,
so that tells you right there they're a force to
be reckoned with. But in the end I believe it
will be France versus Spain in the Semis. France will
win and then they will either take on Norway, England
or Argentina, and none of those three teams can hold

(03:20):
a candle to France. The only team that now is
blocking them potentially from winning the World Cup is Spain.
If Spain can hold on and defeat Belgium, they are
the only team left that can prevent France from what
is now almost an inevitable World Cup victory. The Spaniards

(03:45):
are very good, they are the second best team, but
I think France will be too much for Spain. My
prediction Spain beats Belgium, France beats Spain and Franz beach
whoever they face in the finals. This is now France's

(04:07):
tournament to lose.
