Yes.
I mean, I'd already said that my goal of the tournament with Sairi was...
Yeah There for a couple of seconds.
So that's what was really cool about it I mean normally a ball hits the back of the net and either bounces out or drops down but this kind of a bit like in pinball where the ball gets stuck at the top of a pinball table it kind of rattled around the net for a bit and
and immediately turned it into one of the most unusual goals I've ever seen, and also the earliest winning goal in World Cup history.
It's the first time they've won their opening two games since 1930, a World Cup in which they did pretty well in.
Um...
so yeah during the world cup in 1930 48 no fewer than that um so yeah all right easier then i believe it was was it eight teams or 16 i think i went straight to the same east didn't it i mean people were traveling by boat which probably helped if you were able to go by land by pigeon we digress but yeah i thought
I think what was important about it was it kept the momentum going, you know, and the crowd are very excited and the players are excited and Pochettino's come out and said that, you know, certain factors have to come together to win a World Cup, but yes, we believe.
So, you know, if he says it, then why shouldn't we?
I mean, personally, as someone who was advocating for Australia and particularly Pat Beach, it was slightly disappointing.
Didn't have a good day, did Pat Beach, did he?
We still love him, but... It was a rainy day on the beach, yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
Duncan?
Possibly.
I mean, I think what you can say is that Pochettino is using his squad in a way that gets the best out of them.
He's gone with a bat three, which is a relatively new thing for him.
That obviously allows Tim Ream's slowness to be covered by the likes of Richards and Freeman, who obviously scored today.
