Is kind of the Champions League knockout for group phase.
I I think people might start to get a bit bored of this this season.
I think the first year where you know a couple of teams didn't do so well early on, you had that little bit of fake jeopardy near the end, oh will Real Madrid make it, was a bit exciting.
I think after the second year of it, people uh kind of come to the view, everyone's gonna be all right, that need that kind of expects and needs to get through.
through and it adds a couple of games on and I I am not optimistic about
that group phase where th there is a real lack of jeopardy.
And I think if you diminish the potential of some of those, as I say, middling to upper European clubs and their potential to kind of disrupt those super clubs in that group phase, I think it creates quite a weak product.

I suppose if we just go back two or three weekends,
It's the World Cup final.
By the time of that World Cup final, for all of the scandals, I think four or five investigations by attorney generals across America into FIFA's ticketing practices...
The visa scandal with the referee not being allowed into the country.
The phone call, of course, that happened with Trump that then kind of subsequently Balogun, the US forward, was then allowed to play the game.
