Big Cat leads an enthusiastic celebration of the USMNT's 2-0 win over Australia in Seattle, which he believes may mark the first time the US has won two consecutive World Cup games. PFT praises the team's counter-pressing and notes that losing Pulisic — their best player — and still dominating speaks to the squad's depth. Hank throws cold water by pointing out the US didn't qualify for the tournament and got a favorable group as hosts — earning a brief 'fair point' acknowledgment before being shouted down. The debate transitions to America's fan culture: both Big Cat and PFT argue the US should stop copying European chant traditions and instead lean into American sports traditions like Penn State whiteouts, Renegade, and the Cameron Crazies. Max Homa admits he watched the Country Roads moment 20 times and got emotional.
The USMNT beat Australia 2-0 in Seattle, and the hosts believe it marks the first time the US has won two consecutive World Cup games.
The USMNT beat Australia 2-0 in Seattle without Christian Pulisic and the Pardon My Take crew is declaring them the best in the world. Big Cat and PFT make the case for why the World Cup bracket could set up a deep run — possibly to the semifinals.
In 2006, Lionel Messi scored his first World Cup goal at age 18 years, 11 months, wearing number 19. In 2026, Jamal Musiala scored his first World Cup goal at age 18 years, 11 months, wearing number 19. And Messi once posed with Musiala as a baby in a charity calendar photo shoot.
Jamal Musiala scored his first World Cup goal at age 18 years 11 months wearing number 19 — exactly matching Lionel Messi's first World Cup goal stats in 2006.
