Yeah, I mean, certainly FIFA won't want to be seen to be folding.
to Europe, solely to Europe.
But I think what we're seeing, I mean, right now, as we speak, the CONCACAF, which is the kind of North American Caribbean region, are having an emergency meeting on this matter.
They put out a pretty reasonably strong statement, I'd say, yesterday, but it was more about the lack of consultation and process than the actual
content of the plan.
I think if you started to see the other confederations coming out similarly, then I think FIFA could kind of backtrack out of it by framing it as, look, we've listened to the world, you know, we're not just listening to Europe, we've listened to the world.
Look, there are just realities to most of the best players in the world in the club game play in Europe.
Many of the most talented current national teams are in Europe.
Many of the past winners of World Cups have been from Europe over the last 20, 30 years.
Yes, we can over-egg how important the European voice is, and I think also it's interesting to see Europe taking a strong stance without America.
The US Soccer Federation, as of yet, I think this might change possibly today,
has not yet come out with a statement on this.
So actually Europe finding its voice with America slightly isolated and kind of involved with US executives and investors, it kind of feels like a bit of a microcosm of many things going on in the world at the moment.
And it's how strong Europe can stand together in order to get to where it wants to be.
Yes, still here.
Maybe the last person still here as everyone sweeps away.
Turn off the lights, et cetera, yeah?
Exactly, exactly.
Yeah, it was the politest way I've ever seen anyone quite clearly make clear that the guy should move.
But it was a very polite way in which he did it.
