Before we get into it, we talk about how the real potential banger of the day – Brazil vs. Zambia – was marred by injuries and VAR deciding to insert itself for no good reason. Still, the overall story of the group stages is Barbra Banda and Zambia, who balled out and showed real resolve to keep it 1-0 for 80+ minutes versus Brazil.

Then, well, we get into it. We ask many questions about that USWNT performance, such as 'Why?', and 'But why?', and also 'WHY?'. Pragmatism is one thing, Fred Flintstone'ing a Ferrari is another. We talk about what it means for the U.S. to be heading into the group stages without much confidence at all. We also ask, if their next match was at 4am, and after what happened today, would you get up for it? One of us would!
