And also, I like the sound quality.
I think you can really tell the difference.
And also from a broadcaster's point of view, I like the idea that you have to pick up the microphone and put it next to your mouth to broadcast.
And it feels like when you do that, it feels like, right, I'm on now.
I've got a question for Rob as well, which I think people will be interested in, which reflects the perils of being an outside broadcast engineer at this World Cup.
And that is the fact that we've got soaked
in Boston and New Jersey and in the Azteca.
Yeah, for different reasons.
So it's a bit annoying really, but the commentary points in Boston and New York, that's the two that we've been to, which are outside, there's no roof at all.
So we have no cover.
And Ali, you were saying earlier about wandering around Boston in the lovely weather.
Well, it was lovely when we left New York and then it started raining and then it rained until we got back in the car and drove back.
So we saw Boston, it was torrential rain all the time.
Myself and Paul Robinson, we got out of the car and thought, we've under clubbed on our clothes here.
We're sitting here in shorts and t-shirts.
But the problem there was we had literally no cover at all.
So I did pair it back a lot for the two matches.
The host broadcasters supplied heavy duty plastic covers really, but we managed to get through it.
And then the Azteca...
When Mexico scored their goals, it rained tequila and beer on us, which I know, Ian, is something that... I know some people who would actually have just opened their mouth.
