You can watch the highlights back on the RT Sport YouTube channel and really entertaining end-to-end game from what I could see.

Czechia then had an equaliser ruled out for offside, which would have...

obviously increased the drama towards the latter stage.

But yeah, entertaining game.

The big talking point around it, though, is it was in Guadalajara.

The official attendance was 45,000.

Sorry, the official capacity is 45,000.

The official attendance was given in around 44,000.

But if you could look at the pictures of the match, and you'll find them pretty clearly on social media this morning, it looked like vast spells of the stadium were empty.

And unless everybody was out on the concourse watching it on monitors in the concourse, the attendance compared to the capacity was wildly out of place.

Yeah, like, listen, FIFA will tell you this is part of player welfare.

And for all of the players, you know, the Mexicans, the South American teams that are used to playing in these conditions, there are players from around the world who aren't used to playing in the humidity and the heat.

And like, I think for a lot of people, if you think back to 1994, like the defining image of 1994 when Ireland played in Orlando wasn't...

you know, or in the States, wasn't Ray Houghton's goal, wasn't other key events.

It was like poor Steve Staunton trying to welly bottles of water into himself and wearing a hat while the teams were parading for the national anthem.

And I think Tommy Coyne played in one of those games and had to have medical attention on the plane afterwards because he was so dehydrated.

So, you know...

Does it need to be a three-minute hydration break?

I'm not quite sure it needs to be that prolonged.

But I think when you get into the nuts and bolts of player welfare, like I know Maurizio Pochettino is one of the managers who's come out very strongly against it.
