Those memories, because I had a familiarity with Germany and the way Germans do things,

It just lives with me forever.

The football wasn't half bad.

And then something like that happens.

Yeah, absolutely.

I know.

And you can't legislate for the moment.

That's a very good way of putting it, actually.

You think you've seen it all, and then you see something else.

I think they're in the process of destroying it by making it something that it was never meant to be.

There have been a number of articles written in recent days about how this World Cup is so different from anything that's gone before and how it's been turned into...

an entertainment product as opposed to a football tournament.

The disregard for the fans, not least in the nature of the hosting of it, over three countries so far, distances so far apart.

Now, obviously, every team won't be everywhere, but

the getting to the United States or Mexico or Canada in the first place, and then the distances in between, and then the price gouging and all of that.

The fans are way, way down the list of priorities now from where they used to be.

And I think, you know, the comment of...

Infantino, the FIFA president, that this is going to be the greatest tournament.

There'll be 104 Super Bowls.

It shows what he doesn't get about sport because there can't be 104 Super Bowls.
