You're going for the entertainment.
And then you get to love the basketball after that if you're not a fan.
And I think that's what this World Cup does.
It excites a lot of people that might not necessarily know a lot about the game just because of...
everything that goes on behind it.
I think it's just so much colour.
You get to see so many different cultures, the way that they celebrate, but also, too, the way that we all celebrate together.
I think that's the important thing.
We have so many different nations at one game, but then you see them all just being one, which is, I think, the beautiful thing about...
our World Cup and our sport.
It's just lovely like that.
Well, to be fair, I actually thought that, and probably a lot of people thought that this was a good chance for Japan.
Okay.
Although you always think that Brazil are a powerhouse
of um you know football and they are i mean they play such a beautiful style of um of the game and even when they come to the world cup even if they haven't got the strongest of squads you still feel like they're going to go far but i honestly thought that this was a really good chance for japan even though they're missing a lot of key players they've still got uh the technical ability they've they've got the discipline they've got the the the whole team um
culture in terms of there's no absolute superstars and and they would they would and i felt like this was the world cup that they were going to go far so they were so unlucky to probably concede like they did in the in in uh in extra time i like in injury time to lose i thought that maybe going to go into extra time going to penalty shootout possibly this was their time to go through uh but again it's um moments it's moments in games and uh
Sometimes it takes a moment of brilliance.
And it was my man.
I was actually a bit disappointed Japan didn't go through because I love the way that they play their football.
And because we see a lot of it with the way that we play here in Asia, the way we qualify.
