Minutes after the final whistle, Brendan and Rebecca air out their thoughts on Group B’s first day of World Cup action. Brendan is not in a great place after the U.S.’s 1-1 draw with Wales, but Rebecca thinks there’s actually much to love about The Guys’ performance. Meanwhile, Rebecca is giddy over England’s six (!) goals against Iran and in awe of Jude Bellingham. Plus: Rebecca and Brendan dive in on the “One Love”–armband controversy, the Iranian team’s brave stand, Jack Grealish’s touching goal tribute, and that inescapable Peyton Manning–David Beckham commercial.
