But by keeping it as secret as he did and then losing control of the messaging, I mean, he was actually meant to announce it the day before the World Cup final.

That was when it was meant to be announced.

And that widened the web of people who knew about it.

And that then led, you know, obviously to it leaking.

He does about one every four years these days.

He doesn't take questions.
