I think it's been quite joyous at times.
There are always, with all big tournaments, especially the World Cup,
There are always pros and cons, but I think by and large, it's gone spectacularly well in many ways.
On the pitch, I think the football's been really good and some brilliant games, some cracking stories of underdogs, you know, Cape Verde, for example.
I think the real joy has probably been the way the fans have celebrated, not just their own victories, but celebrated together and kind of shown a...
A lovely humanity and togetherness that we've probably not seen previously.
And perhaps it's a little message to the world that we can get on.
Yeah.
Even if we're on from all parts of the world.
So I think that's been...
That's been wonderful.
The tournament's building up now, obviously, to the crescendo, the excitement, the big final.
But I think it's been way better than I actually thought it would be.
We're obviously going into it like we do in all World Cups.
We always think there are going to be things that go wrong, and there have been, and things that we perhaps don't like.
But overall, I think it's been a triumph, really.
Yeah, that's pretty much how it works.
So you go, I've covered so many, so many World Cups and I've played in a couple of them.
But prior to the World Cup, everyone expresses their fears and their concerns.
There's a lot of anticipation, excitement as well, the positive side.
