There goes the pen.
You can actually, Arthur, I hope you boosted that because that was really good.
You could hear the pen going and the cha.
But I like the way he went into the history books and then went, no, I've got to stay on message.
The three players I meant to talk about here are Liam Brady, Ronnie Wheeler and David O'Leary.
They're the only ones that matter.
Tommy Eglinton and Peter Farrell.
First names that came into his head, I suppose.
Great Irish footballers, I'm sure, but I don't know if they would have been the ones he was talking about as the people who've waited all their lives for the Irish World Cup.
And he'd nearly say that himself.
In theory, yes.
But in practice, probably not.
Because if you, once you start looking at it, you start, and I guess this is part of the enthusiasm of a World Cup, when you spend this week looking at matches and looking at groups.
You start thinking, hold on a second, there's a lot more at stake here than meets the eye.
Even with so many teams getting through, you can start seeing groups which actually could be quite close, where there's quite a parity between the teams.
And obviously it's too many and the tournament is unwieldy.
But the argument against that, if I kind of sort of channel my inner emotions,
Child or Gianni Infantino, is that people have always complained about this.
When it moved to 24 teams, the first people who were complaining about this was UEFA.
And they were complaining, talking about obscene.
