So it's a roast dinner on Sunday, isn't it?

You eat your cabbage first.

Yeah.

And then you work your way through.

Well, as you say, he's a real thinker.

I don't know.

I don't think he can.

I think Messi feels like he's on a...

On a holy trajectory right now.

Obviously can break the all-time goal-scoring record at the World Cup in this game and may very well do so.

He's levelled with closer than 16 goals.

He has taken 45 shots more than Miroslav Klose.

So does that mean Klose is better?

It's not for me to say.

Probably, yeah.

I think I had maybe bought into the, it's just a grizzled set of lads on one last holiday, but actually they're still really, really good.

I'm interested to see, because I think Austria will play a lot more of a sort of energetic, pressing game compared to the first match.

So I do think they could, I mean, they were left to pass little triangles for most of their opening game, which I don't think will happen again.

tomorrow but it is um i think it is a fascinating thing i think messi's kind of in a country that really kind of reveres superstars and reveres sort of like goats the fact that he's operating in this mode is you know it looks visibly fitter and stronger and faster as well so

Yeah, maybe not as effectively, to be honest.
