## Resource

On this packed episode of The Drake Toll Show on Westwood One Sports, host Drake Toll breaks down an electrifying weekend of 2026 World Cup quarterfinal action. Headlines are dominated by Argentina’s dramatic 3-1 extra-time triumph over Switzerland—propelled by Julián Álvarez’s 112th-minute screamer—setting up an epic semifinal clash in Atlanta against England, who advanced after Jude Bellingham’s extra-time brace sunk Norway 2-1. Shifting to the gridiron, Drake analyzes free-agent wide receiver Stefon Diggs’ bold claim that he is the best "No. 2" target in the NFL. Finally, the show dives into high-stakes NBA offseason drama, tracking LeBron James’ market-pausing free agency and reacting to the shocking news of a physical altercation in Las Vegas between former Miami Heat teammates Bam Adebayo and Tyler Herro. Popular segments "Biggest Losers of the Day," "Obits," and "Idiot of the Day" round out the action. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
