But I guess we're trying to crown Europe's club team is an easy explanation as well, but how you get there is not necessarily easy.
The World Cup is just such an easy thing for people to get on board with.
And this idea that ultimately when it's over and it ends,
then NFL season starts again, and NBA season starts again, and MLB season is going on again.
It's part of a calendar, so you have to find these moments, these now increasingly fleeting moments that I think other sports are finding the right windows to highlight themselves.
What are the days in the calendar that you can say, here's a big soccer game, can you join us and watch this please?
And I think that that is a very difficult thing to do in a crowded media landscape.
The World Cup being here, it being accessible is the perfect way to connect with people in 2026.
But I'm not certain that even the highest level of the club game, the European club game is as easily accessible.

It seemed like it was sort of a day of no fun in the World Cup.
It just...
Just every group of every fan base that is worth their... I mean, we replaced the Colombians with the Swiss.
What are we doing here?
What are we... How?
We missed out on Argentina-Colombia for the Swiss.
I mean, you say a devastating loss on multiple fronts and behinds perhaps as well.
