The World Cup Is Bringing Out the Best in America

It has brought the entire world to our doorstep, and the entire world is falling in love with what they found. Trey is joined by Mark Donaldson — a native Scotsman, longtime ESPN broadcaster, and now an American citizen who has been living this World Cup from every angle imaginable. Native Scot. American by choice. And right now, the best person on earth to explain what is actually happening in cities across this country. The Tartan Army Takeover Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 in their opening match — their first World Cup win since 1990, only the fifth in their entire history. And the Scottish fans who made the trip did not just show up. They took over. Ten thousand of them descended on Boston and Providence, bagpipes and all. They packed Fenway Park for a Red Sox game mid-tournament and sang for nine straight innings without stopping. They drained bars dry across the city. They quadrupled the entire region's average St. Patrick's Day beer consumption — in the most Irish city in America, on a random Tuesday in June. And in the middle of all that chaos — zero arrests. Compare that to Scotland's trip to Germany for the Euros two years ago, where 200,000 fans traveled across three cities and also produced zero arrests. This isn't luck. It's who they are. Mark even points to something most people would never notice — city workers in Boston commenting on how thoroughly the Scots cleaned up after themselves. Tidy as they came. A Fresh Look at America Here's the part that hits hardest. Mark has lived in America since 2010. He remembers a time when this country was universally seen, by outsiders, as the best place in the world to be. That perception has shifted in recent years. But for two weeks this summer, something has changed. Fans from forty-eight different nations have arrived, and they are falling in love with this country in real time — the food, the energy, the openness, the sheer scale of everything. Quesadillas the size of your head. Biscuits and gravy. Chipotle treated like a religious experience. Mark's message is simple and it's the whole point of this conversation — don't let this be a two-week moment we look back on fondly. Let it be a wake-up call to keep building on what we clearly still have. The US Team Is Real Mark watched the United States' opening match at a neighbor's watch party, fully expecting to be polite about it. Instead, he says it might be the best first half of soccer he has ever seen — better than what he saw out of Germany. The U.S. is favorably positioned heading into the knockout rounds, and Mark believes a quarterfinal run is realistic if the team can replicate that level of play. The World Cup at Large Trey and Mark also get into the bigger tournament picture — Messi, still magic even though he no longer moves like he used to. Mbappé as the most dangerous player in the field right now, followed by Harry Kane and Erling Haaland. France as the favorite to win it all, given their strength and depth heading into the brutal heat and humidity that will define the knockout stage. A breakout teenager on Morocco's midfield. And one incredible story out of Cape Verde, where a player with Irish roots was scouted and recruited entirely through LinkedIn messages — and is now keeping clean sheets against Spain on the world's biggest stage. Why This Matters Strip away the trophy, the brackets, and the predictions, and what's left is the simplest part of the whole story. People from forty-eight countries showed up in America this summer with flags, instruments, and an unstoppable amount of joy — and for a little while, that joy was contagious. Sports does that. It always has. The World Cup is just proving it all over again, right here, right now.

Wyndham Clark Is a Two-Time US Open Champion. It Is Time to Change How We Look at Him.

Wyndham Clark Won the US Open With the Entire Gallery Rooting Against Him. Get up to $200 off Square hardware when you sign up at square.com/go/WINGO #squarepod #sponsored Head to cozyearth.com and use code WINGO for an exclusive 20% off. The 126th US Open at Shinnecock Hills is over. And Wyndham Clark is a two-time US Open champion. He came in with a six-stroke lead. The entire crowd was rooting against him. The number one player in the world was in his final group trying to complete the career grand slam on his 30th birthday. And Wyndham Clark won anyway. Here is the full story. How It Played Out Clark started Sunday the way nobody wanted — going out in a three-over 38 on the front nine, suddenly making this interesting in a way the six-stroke lead suggested it would not be. But then the back nine happened. He birdied 16 with a remarkable putt from 30 feet after driving it left and finding a way to put his approach on the back of the green. That birdie pushed his lead back to two. He gave one back with a bogey on 17 that let Sam Burns pull within one — the most drama of the entire final round. Then on 18, from 52 feet, Wyndham Clark two-putted to close it out. Not unlike 2023 at LACC, where he was about 60 feet away and two-putted to win then too. Big moments, big putts, big composure. The Historical Context Since the first Masters in 1934, 14 players have led a major by six or more strokes heading into the final round. Thirteen of the previous 13 won. The only exception was Greg Norman's epic collapse at the 1996 Masters, when Nick Faldo — the world number one at the time — ran him down. Scotty Scheffler is the world number one right now. The parallel was not lost on anyone. Clark also had a multi-stroke lead after all three of the first rounds — a club that includes Willie Anderson in 1903, Jim Barnes in 1921, Tony Jacklin in 1970, Rory McIlroy in 2011, and Martin Kaymer in 2014. All of them won. Now so does Wyndham Clark. And one more stat courtesy of Justin Ray — the greatest golf researcher in the sport — Wyndham Clark is now one of only three men to win US Opens on both the East Coast and the West Coast. Billy Casper. Tiger Woods. Wyndham Clark. How Do We Look at Wyndham Clark Now This is the real question Trey is asking throughout the video. Clark is not a player who consistently contends at majors. He either wins or he is a non-factor. There is almost no middle ground. And yet he has now won two of the toughest tests in golf — both US Opens — in the last four years, at two of the most demanding venues on the US Open rotation. He has as many majors as Bryson DeChambeau, Jon Rahm, and Xander Schauffele. And he won Sunday with a hostile gallery, a charging world number one, and a golf course that was fighting back after the USGA tightened the screws over the weekend. That putter has been historically hot since the CJ Byron Nelson, where he shot an 11-under 60 on Sunday to beat Scotty Scheffler and Si Woo Kim. If that putter stays this white hot — and there is no reason yet to think it will not — Wyndham Clark is going to be very difficult to beat for a long time. And the question of whether we have seen the best of him is genuinely open. The Locker Room Question A year ago at Oakmont, Wyndham Clark destroyed a locker after a bad round. He was photographed. He was banned from Oakmont. He went on an apology tour. He addressed it at the Byron Nelson and again multiple times this week. Some people forgave him. Some did not. But it is hard to argue that a two-time US Open champion who wins on a course where the entire crowd is against him, in the toughest test in golf, under maximum pressure — it is hard to argue that the locker room moment should define him. It should not. He earned the right to be referred to as a two-time US Open champion. That is what he is. The Father's Day Moment One of the most emotional storylines of the entire week had nothing to do with birdies or bogeys. Wyndham Clark's mother passed away from breast cancer when he was in college. His father showed up at Shinnecock on Sunday and did not tell Wyndham he was there. Wyndham had no idea. When he sank the winning putt on 18 and turned around and saw his dad — on Father's Day — the reaction was everything. Scottie Scheffler Today was Scottie Scheffler's 30th birthday. The gallery serenaded him walking up 18. He was in the final group. He was trying to become the seventh man to complete the career grand slam on his first attempt — something three of the six previous grand slam completers did. He made some birdies. He could not make the putts that mattered most. It is not a disaster. His game is marginally off from where it was a year ago when he won two majors. Statistically almost identical. Just a fraction short in the moments that count. He is still the world number one. He will still retain that ranking after finishing inside the top five today. He has the Open Championship at Royal Birkdale next month, where he will defend his title and have another shot at a win. But he has now gone 12 straight tournaments without a win — by far the longest drought of his career since he became a major champion. And the grand slam will have to wait. The Other Stories Sam Burns came within one with a birdie on 16 before missing looks at birdie on 17 and 18. For the second straight year, Sam Burns has put himself in position to win a US Open and come up just short. He is built for this. He will be back. Xander Schauffele finished tied for 11th — his 10th consecutive top-15 finish at a US Open. The only longer streak in US Open history is Jack Nicklaus. He has won a PGA Championship and an Open Championship. The US Open feels inevitable for him. Miles Russell, the 17-year-old who qualified with Charlie Woods on his bag, walked up 18 on Father's Day with his own dad carrying his bag — a surprise he arranged mid-round after asking the USGA if it was allowed. They said yes. His dad had no idea. That is the kind of moment that makes the US Open what it is. Keith Mitchell shot 70-70-70-70 — the first player in US Open history to shoot four straight rounds of level par. One of those 70s included a 41 on the front and a 29 on the back. Also a US Open first. Perfectly consistent on the scorecard. Absolutely chaotic in reality. And the fans — some of them crossed a line. People were shouting at Wyndham Clark, openly rooting for him to miss, and a few got kicked out. The point Trey makes is simple — root for whoever you want, but do not be that person. The players are under enough pressure without someone screaming at them to choke. It is not a good look. Do not be that guy. The Bottom Line Wyndham Clark is a two-time US Open champion. He won at one of the most demanding venues in the sport, with the crowd against him, the world number one in his group, and a golf course that was fighting back. The putter was white hot when it needed to be. The composure held when it mattered most. How we look at Wyndham Clark going forward has to change. Because if that putter stays this hot, we may not have seen the best of him yet.
