## Resource

The group stage is heating up! Hosts Tamerra Griffin and Carl Anka break down the fallout from the USMNT’s massive opening tournament match on today's Daily Cup. We dive deep into the ultimate debate: what did we learn from the United States' performance, and does the squad need a brand new nickname? Plus, we look ahead to the highly anticipated showdown between Brazil and Morocco. The Athletic’s Jack Lang joins us to unpack the major controversy surrounding Neymar's roster selection and his current injury status. We also preview Scotland's historic return to this stage with a special message from Succession star Brian Cox. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
