Shall we say thank you very much to Rob for his contribution?

Yeah, Rob, tremendous.

We've been meaning to do that, haven't we?

To get one of our excellent engineers on for quite a long time.

So we've done that and we might do that again at some point.

Thank you very much.

Thank you.

Let's move on to unintended pub names.

This is where you can get in touch with us, tcv at bbc.co.uk if you hear an unintended pub name in any of our sports commentary.

So I've mentioned the last Hurrah, which is a genuine pub here in Boston I've walked past.

I've also been in the Dig Inn pub

which I really liked in Philadelphia, which is a good, good pub name.

Samuel's got in touch.

Says, hi, TCV.

I've got an unintended pub name.

This is from the early stages of Norway against Ivory Coast.

And it was said by Chris Sutton, who was on commentary with Ali.

Pepe on the ball again, down by the dead ball line, onto his left foot.

Low cross comes in and a stretching leg from Hagen blocks that.

Ivory Coast win themselves a corner, nil-nil.
