It does.

Kerry will probably still win each other.

Not like there's 12 teams left.

Now, I don't know how many you could realistically say of the 12 teams at the moment could win the All-Ireland, maybe four, maybe five, but any of the 12 could get to a semi-final or even a final.

There's four games this weekend in the Championship and I don't think it'd be much to ask for one each day to be on free-to-air.

Fantastic.

Absolutely fantastic.

I was on a show a few weeks ago while you were on holidays and I said I feared, you know, we'd had World Cups in Qatar and we'd had them in South Africa and Russia, you know, in dodgy places, that once the World Cup started, the football took over and they had their houses in order and all the stuff that had happened in the build-up that we know about in Qatar and other places disappeared.

kind of was pushed to one side and the football became the football and I said that I was really fearful that America wouldn't be able to do that such as the kind of divisive society that we're looking at from the outside but gosh so far so good it's been absolutely fantastic the stadiums look great maybe one or two dodgy pitches but you know

in the round you know I know from being in touch with Dan McDonald over there he said there's a really good positive vibe on the ground around the games around the stadiums and stuff so fingers crossed it will just stay about the football as it has been since it started last week there's a few little kind of side shows like Iran being one of them obviously and

And that's beyond anyone's control, really.

Well, it's not beyond Americans' control.

Isn't it funny for all the brown-nosing that Gianni did with Trump?

It doesn't seem to have one single favour from the White House.

Yeah.

But the football's like, I mean, it's just, it's fantastic.

And to know that you're going home every evening and you have, you know, if you're of a mind, two, three, four games ahead of you.

Yeah.

It's great.

Exactly.
