And you're being sponsored by literally somebody who owns three teams, which is just weird.

Yeah.

Unless, of course, you're the public investment fund of Saudi Arabia and Saudi Pro League.

I don't know if that's the right business model we want to follow.

The weird thing here...

is the sponsor, Saudi Aramco, who have shown a willingness to invest in women's sports and stuff like that.

But their sponsorship was announced after the semifinal.

So basically, they'd already played the preliminary rounds, the semifinal.

Only the final left.

It's like, hey, look, we're sponsoring this too now.

They just waited to see who was in the final.

This is just a way to give FIFA money, which I'm not against it.

The money's going to go to women.

It's been ring-fenced for women's development, women's football around the world.

can we just stop pretending that this is a normal business enterprise because it really isn't because one owner sponsoring it, you know, her team's not in it, but their team could be in it.

And another guy coming in and just saying like, all right, Johnny, how much money you need?

Let me write you a check.

Oh yeah, sure.

I'll just sponsor this competition.

Oh, but it's almost over.
