So Scotland-Morocco was Friday, which was in Boston, which was...

Yeah, it's funny.

I probably had it built up in my head that it was going to be an incredible occasion.

Now, it was good, but Morocco scored early and were actually so dominant for 25, 30 minutes that while there was a bit of a sort of a Scottish resistance late on and they had a couple of shouts, it didn't quite ignite in the way that I thought that it might because actually Morocco were really that much better.

Yeah, yeah.

And they are... They made Scotland look old.

Like in that first 25, 30 minutes in particular.

I know that Morocco, maybe you could say they haven't finished their two games very strongly.

They've had two brilliant first halves.

Yeah.

But their average age is like 24, 25, I think, in their squad.

And as much as Morocco, again, probably the other team like Argentina who brought the noise in Qatar in terms of their story, I think there's only like four stalwarts of that squad that are really starting on Friday.

So they...

They've completely regenerated almost in that time.

And yeah, they almost squeezed the life out of the occasion by just being better than Scotland.

So, I mean, it was still a good game to be at and a good occasion to be at, but it probably didn't click in the way that you might have thought.

Yeah, no, it's funny.

I just wanted to see, I suppose, how busy or lively it was.

Now, I just also happened to be there on the day that the Knicks were doing their parade.

So it was like, and it was starting right outside my hotel, pretty much down in sort of Wall Street, sort of Stone Street direction.
