In terms of a style of play for a game, then say the rules, yeah.

As an athlete, it's terrific.

Thank you very much, Gabby.

Thanks.

I'm glad everyone knows now.

But yeah, I think sometimes with football, you'll say, oh, it's the same for both teams.

It's this, it's that.

You've just got to figure it out.

But people's routes to the final, for example, are going to be so varied.

Because yes, you can be in Boston, at Foxborough, you can be in New York, MetLife, and say those three games are outside.

But then say you go to Mexico City, I think it's like over 2,000 metres elevation.

So how do you really prepare for that whilst also dealing with the other games as well?

I think it poses like this really tricky test.

Absolutely.

To be honest, the more I think about it, the more we talk about it, the more I think this World Cup would be one where there's a surprise winner.

Just because, like, I feel like we're getting more of a level playing field now.

Because in, say,

perfectly, quote unquote, fair conditions.

The better teams, more often than not, will make it to those later rounds.

But when things can vary so much, maybe it's just the team that's most ready and prepared to suffer.
