But are you a fan of Argentina? Is that the team you root for? I know you're a Peruvian.

Of course, he came up short, but the better team did indeed win, and that was Spain for sure.

Would have been nice to see more goals, but I thought it was a fantastic World Cup.

Argentina played great with a lot of heart, a lot of passion, but in the end, Spain was just too much, dude.

But they almost made it to the PKs, and apparently they would have had an advantage there.

But I will say, for this American sports nation in which we live, it felt like having this World Cup on our soil moved the needle a little bit.

Like, I've always been into the World Cup, and obviously Kenny played college soccer at Boston College, so obviously I know you're a player.

I think a lot of people, it would have been nice for a lot of people to see them go a lot further in the tournament.

But I think in a lot of ways, it was a positive in that, hey, we got people excited about the sport.

Now, what are we going to move? How are we going to move forward as a country, as a sport to kind of get better results? And I think it comes down to the youth system and really developing with a lot more.

intention and really deliberating like how we're going to get better as a nation, as a professional league.
