Send us Fan MailOn this week's episode, I'm talking to the fabulous Désirée Cyganek, a single and childfree photographer and former dancer, the daughter of a French father and an African mother who was born in the Ivory Coast and raised in France. Having moved to Florida when she met the man she subsequently married, Désirée now lives in Jersey City — just across the water from Manhattan — with her two beloved bengal cats which we obviously talk about. In this conversation, Désirée tells me about her former career as a dancer, the love story that took her to the US but ultimately ended in divorce, and how she subsequently became a photographer. We talk all about her single life and how she feels about it, we talk about why people get so triggered by single women without kids, she tells me about the differences between dating American guys and European guys, and she also gives me possibly the best description I've ever heard about what it actually means to love yourself. Désirée really is a force, I thought she was absolutely fabulous, and I can't wait for you to hear this.

The guys discuss whether Carlo Ancelotti has Brazil heating up at exactly the right time and what Neymar's return could mean for the Seleção heading into the knockout rounds. With a potential path through Japan and the winner of Ivory Coast vs. Norway, is Brazil quietly becoming the team nobody wants to face? The Cooligans then turn their attention to the USMNT's final group-stage match against Türkiye and discuss what they're most interested in seeing from Mauricio Pochettino's side. Does the tournament bracket seem to be opening up for the Americans? Can Gio Reyna make one final push for a starting role? The guys also dive into betting angles for USA-Türkiye, including whether Pepi, Haji Wright or Zendejas can find the back of the net and whether Türkiye can finally score their first goal of the World Cup. To wrap up the show, Christian and Alexis react to Canada's disappointing loss to Switzerland, a result that drops them to second place in the group but could potentially hand them a favorable Round of 32 matchup against South Africa. The guys debate whether Canada got lucky with the draw before previewing another exciting day of World Cup action, including Japan vs. Sweden, Ecuador vs. Germany and Paraguay vs. Australia.
