This is an Irish independent podcast.

Hi, Roland.

Yeah, I've definitely been getting into it more so the last couple of days because my local GA club have their last man standing running.

I had to put in all my predictions for who's going to win.

But that kind of thing, looking through that would kind of get you excited.

Group A, you just kind of have to just pretend that's not happening because if you look at it and the chance we could have had, but...

alas we're not there something that does kind of intrigue me about the whole thing though is the dark horse chat there was always like a few stakeholders there like Switzerland, Belgium were always kind of the key guys there but this time it seems to be Norway, Japan who's it going to be come the end of it but yeah it'll be interesting to see how it all goes in the end

Well, last man standing wise, I think I'd have to go Spain.

But South American, if we're going on that frame of reference, I think it would be great to see Argentina do it again.

I don't know what will be the crack there, though.

Obviously, last time there was a chat about them and will Leo Messi get it done?

But maybe you could argue the pressure could be off this time around.

Last time they were trying to bridge such a gap.

I was saying to the guys outside, Paul on sound and Catherine producing, bring back the octopus.

Do you remember the World Cup octopus?

RIP.

I did not know that.

That's crushing news altogether.

As soon as you mentioned Dingle there I was like they've had Fungi alive for like how many years?

That's what I'm saying they just reinvent these things.
