And I do think that Limerick are marginal favourites but I think that Galway will give them a very good game today.

And I went to the semi-final in hope rather than expectation and I go today in hope rather than expectation and in the semi-final we won and hopefully today...

Galway can do the deed.

And as one of the leaders as well, Des, he is the son of a famous all-black out-half, Grant Fox, who played in the 80s and 90s for New Zealand.

And he had a round, I think, of 62 yesterday, didn't he?

Yeah, I mean, everything is monetised.

And I mean, the States, of course, has always been the happy home for making profits from sports.

If you look at the baseball and the football franchises over there, so they're actually franchises that are owned by people.

So if you're, say, the Philadelphia Eagles, you're only the Philadelphia Eagles so long as your owner is happy to stay in Philadelphia.

And if somebody else buys the franchise, the Eagles might end up in, you know, Los Angeles or in...

So there is a kind of a kind of a commercial bottom line that rules a lot.

And I think that that has had a deleterious impact on sport.

I think it's happened to a certain extent with soccer.

There was an article in The Sunday Times today talking about David Beckham making 25 million from the ad breaks and they were selling ads during the water breaks as well.

So, and Infantino is a very good example of somebody who just seems to be in it for the money and for a person who worships Mammon rather than the Jules Verne Cup.

And again, we go back to the GAA and we kind of contrasted that.

And there's an argument about professionalism in GAA, which I think would probably happen over time.

But there are values associated with all sports here, rugby, soccer, GAA and so many other sports, you know, that I hope that we don't lose to commercialism.

But I mean, Oisín's point, I mean, the football was magnificent.

It was.
