Speaker 1 (00:03):
Calaruga Shark Media. I'm Jamie Rudd, and honestly I don't
know where to begin with yesterday's madness. If you thought
this Club World Cup couldn't serve up any more shocks,
well you clearly haven't been paying attention. Al Hilal just
beat Manchester City four to three in extra time. I'm
(00:25):
gonna say that again because I'm still not sure I
believe it myself. Al Hilal beat Manchester City. The Saudi
Arabian club written off by absolutely everyone just knocked out
the Premier League champions in one of the most ridiculous
matches you'll ever see. Marcos Leonardo with two goals, including
the winner in the one hundred twelfth minute, Kalido Kalibili
(00:49):
rising like a man possessed to head home corners, Phil
Foden scoring absolute worldies that meant nothing in the end.
This was football at its most beautiful, most chaotic, most unpredictable.
City took the lead after nine minutes through Bernardo Silver
classic City early goal job done. Everyone goes home happy,
(01:13):
except nobody told Al Hilal the script. Two quickfire goals
after the restart from Leonardo and Malcolm turned the whole
thing on its head. Harland equalized because of course he did,
and we were heading for extra time. Then it got
proper mental. Kulibali puts Al Hilal back in front, Foden
(01:33):
responds with a sublime first time volley that would have
been goal of the tournament in any other circumstances, and
then Leonardo, exhausted, stumbling but still clinical, tucks away the winner.
Kulibali summed it up perfectly. Afterward, we wanted to show
our ideas, our talent, our power. Mission accomplished, mate, mission
(01:55):
absolutely accomplished. But that wasn't even the only shock yesterday.
Oh no, oh, this tournament had more surprises in store. FLUMINENSEI,
the Brazilian club that everyone forgot about, just rolled over
into Milan to zero in Charlotte German Carno's early header,
Hercules with a stunning curler from the edge of the box,
(02:16):
Lautaro Martinez hitting the post, Federico di Marco going close
from free kicks, but it didn't matter. The Brazilians were
having none of it. So now we've got our quarter
final matchup, Al Hilal versus Fluminense, the Saudi Sensation against
the Brazilian giant in Orlando on Friday, and you know what,
(02:36):
after yesterday, I'm not predicting anything. This tournament's gone completely mental.
Let me take a breath here because I need to
process what we just witnessed. Manchester City knocked out by
a Saudi club in extra time. That's not supposed to happen.
Pep Guardiola's supposed to have all the answers, Arling Harlan's
(02:57):
supposed to score the goals that matter. But football doesn't
read the script, does it credit where it's due? Al
Hilal didn't just luck their way through. They played proper football.
Yasin Bunu making saves all night, Malcolm tearing down that
right wing Cancello, yes, the former City player setting up
goals against his old employers. There's poetry in that, isn't there?
(03:20):
And Fluminense they just quietly went about their business in Charlotte,
crowd of twenty thousand in a seventy five thousand capacity stadium,
but they didn't care. So now we've got Real Madrid
versus Juventus tonight at hard Rock Stadium in Miami, the
most successful club in history against the old Lady Mbappe
(03:41):
Vensius Bellingham against well, Juventus being Juventus, they'll probably make
it boring and somehow nick a goal. Then it's Brussia
Dortmund versus Monterey in Atlanta, the German runners up from
last season's Champions League against the Mexican representatives. Dortmund should win,
but after yesterday, who knows the thing about this tournament
(04:03):
is that it's giving us these moments that make you
remember why you fell in love with football in the
first place. David beating Goliath, underdogs having their day, the
beautiful game being actually beautiful. Al Hilal's victory proved that
money and reputation don't always win matches, and FLUMINENSEI they're
just quietly going about their business, flying under the radar
(04:26):
while everyone's talking about European giants and Saudi money. Classic
Brazilian football. Let everyone else make the noise while you
do the business on the pitch. Tonight's games feel massive now.
Real Madrid are probably thinking, well, if City can get
knocked out, we better not take anyone lightly. Juventus are
probably rubbing their hands together, thinking this might be their
(04:49):
year after all. But honestly, after yesterday, I'm not making
predictions anymore. This tournament's mental, brilliant and absolutely unpredictable. Long
may it continue. I'm Jamie Rudd and I'll see you
tomorrow with more madness from the beautiful game, because if
yesterday taught us anything it's that football always finds a
(05:09):
way to surprise you

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
