Nerves set in for Argentina fan ahead of World Cup semi-finals

And let's bring in Omar Sheik and he is a Metro Detroiter right here and a big Argentina fan. How are you feeling? Doing just fine. Thank you. A little nervous, but I'm OK. Yeah. Just waiting for it. Let's let's talk. Tell me a little bit about your connection to Argentina. Well, I was born and raised there. I lived in Buenos Aires until I was 23 years old. That's when I came here to the U.S. And later on, I got married, had three wonderful kids. And I did all my career as a Jaguar and Land Rover mechanic. I made it up to shop for me and all the three bigger dealers here in town and play soccer all my life, even here in the U.S. Amateur level, let me put it that way. But you see, to us, soccer is life. Can I say it? No, I guarantee I can't imagine. So so today, how are you feeling with Argentina going into this match, England, the rivalry? What are some of your thoughts on it? Well, the rivalry is good. It's a big one, that's for sure. But we need to remember one thing. It's just a football match and leave everything else aside. Whatever happened in the past, it did. There was some stuff. Yeah, not good. But, you know, we got both sides in here. So we're going to leave that alone. And just enjoy the game and may the best one win. That's all I can say. You know, I have faith on the boys. They're ready to go. And the British guys are good, too. Don't forget, we have four or five guys in our team that play in the Premier League. So if you will, they know each other. They know each other very well. So it's going to be nice. It's going to be nice. And what does Argentina need to do to win this match against England? I'd say keep position of the ball the way we used to and dictate the rhythm of the game the way we usually do. That will promote, you know, the genius and messy to start doing, you know, wonders with the ball, so you never know what it's going to do and be strong in defense. And that's just about it, really. And they just go on and never give up. Never give up is important. And people here in the United States love Messi. They think he's just just the best. Is that I would imagine. What's it like in Argentina? If you, you know, speaking to people back home, is it just is it just Messi central over there? Yes, it's not. I don't think it is a sovereign Argentina. And I would probably venture to say in the whole world, they don't know Messi, really. And as a human being, he's a great human being. I mean, he's got he loves children. He has he has helped children and still does all over the world. He's got foundation for kids everywhere. So he's a good guy. You know, married all his life with this. Not this late. This girl, since you were 10 years old, three wonderful boys. It's an example, really. He is in. Everybody respects him for that. They do, certainly. And on the show, we talk about food all the time. What are some of the best Argentinian foods? Oh, boy, you got time. Oh, I got time. Well, you know, number one, I would say is meat. You know, our meat is up there. Probably the best in the world, as everybody knows. And then, you know, as you go down our base, we base our diets and pretty much Italian descent, because we have a lot of Italians there. I'm a half Italian myself and Spaniards, a lot of German food. We like we like a little bit of everything. But the base of everything is the meat and all that. And, you know, I'm so excited because I actually got connected with your sister, Monica. Thank you, by the way, for getting us all connected, because she's right here. She suggested what was the name of the place over in I think it was East Point that I have to go get empanadas? Oh, it's called Patagonia, Patagonia. And Diego is the owner with his wife. And boy, let me tell you, everything that he does, he does it right there. The dough is homemade. All the fillings you can get, meat, chicken. And he's got now he's got a brand new one. It's called American style, but they are just delicious. I will highly recommend it to everybody. They're right at a nine mile and just just west of Kelly on the south side of a nine mile. Excellent. All right. Well, the second I get off there at five o'clock, I'm going on over there and I'm going to try it. I'm going to say, Omar said, Oh, you said this is the spot. Yeah, no, no, no. OK. Yeah, I've been there since the first week they opened. No way. I didn't know that. And then we got to know each other. And now, well, you know. All right. I'm going to say I'm going to say hi for you. All right. Omar, thank you so much for joining. And good luck to Argentina. This is a huge match and just good luck.
