We should talk about the actual tournament itself because Mussolini, there's like a referee who's Swiss, I think.
I can't remember what he's called.
He basically, at one point in all the Italy games,
There's a Swedish referee called Ivan Eklund.
He had dinner with Mussolini the night before the final.

I mean, it's awesome.
Yes, it is.
Who's using the referee?
Take your ref out to dinner the night before.
Yeah.
Get the referee up there in the corner.
activate the referee um so yeah the even ivan ecklund he not not only did he i guess this is so before var uh yeah i mean i mean this is like we should you're all standing in the stand and it's normally olympic um stadiums you're so far from the pitch yeah you can't see anything nor can anyone
