Love the World Cup and soccer, but finds that it cuts into your “ridiculous secret agent TV show” watching time? HAVE I GOT THE SHOW FOR YOU. Debuting on Tuesday, June 15 on the El Rey Network is Matador—about an undercover DEA agent named Tony Bravo (!!!!) who is recruited by a splinter CIA group to go on secret agent missions—while pretending to be a major league soccer star (!!!!)!!!!! I refuse to say anything else about this except, “Wow. Wow-wow-wow-wow-WOW!”

TONY BRAVO! (!!!!)
