We are just so happy to see our team competitive on the world stage.
My esteemed colleague Wendy Urquhart was supporting Scotland in the Scotland-Brazil match and for some reason her telly was 20 seconds ahead of mine, so I knew what was happening in advance and it didn't sound like it was going well all the time.
3-0 down to Brazil.
Brazil are a good side though, so was everybody just a bit too hopeful about that result?
Well, it was just one of those as football, you know, you never know when it might surprise you.
And I think Scotland, with the vibe of the team and the fans who have taken America by storm, first in Boston and then exactly going in Miami, I think they've become the darlings of everyone who has watched them.
And I think there was a hope that they could go into...
The match against Brazil needing to not get thumped and potentially go far in this competition.
Now, though, they have a nervous wait because that 3-0 defeat to Brazil means that Scotland will be waiting nervously to see the result and hoping that some teams will do them a favour.
But, yeah, that result against Brazil did not go very well for them.
OK, so not fully game over.
Just briefly, Isaac, I know you know these sort of things.
The match is happening simultaneously.
Is that to maintain the excitement of who's in and who's out?
Is that the reason behind that?
exactly so it's to give every team that's playing an opportunity a few years ago two teams i think austria and west germany played in a match where they both knew they needed to win one nil and that would send them through and so they got rid of that and the last group games they make sure everyone plays together so everyone knows exactly what they have to do and they can't collude to get the result that everyone needs so that's why they all play together at the same time

To China now, where an advert for a laundry disinfectant product has been withdrawn after claims of sexism.
The advert is a three-minute video micro-drama which features a young man explaining the qualities he looks for in a woman, and it angered many with this line.
I can afford not to be a virgin, but my future wife absolutely cannot.
