Sorry, come back please, come back.
Now, could we just replay the commentary and instead play footage of the Brits taking Port Stanley, please?
Just for the listeners at home, I'd like to see Britain entering Port Stanley in June 82.
Flag raised.
Just play that, Charlie.
Just play that and then put the sound of the Argentinian commentary on.
Lovely stuff.
Glorious to watch.
Oh, and another one.
He's got past another one.
Jack watched that final with his back turned like this.
Paul Golding.
He's watching EastEnders.
Supporting Qatar, that tournament.
Yeah, exactly.
Football won that tournament.
no yeah I but that was one of the great footballing finals but also what I liked about that final is that so this era and Maradona's the same as Pele is this was where a player would could win the World Cup almost on their own or at least the narrative of like you've ascended to the football gods because you won the World Cup Maradona's World Cup Maradona's World Cup Pele's World Cup Mussolini's World Cup Mussolini's World Cup you've ascended to the pantheon of the greats right and you take Messi
Definitely.
But by the time Messi won it, that story was gone because you couldn't do that anymore because it was more about the Champions League.
Whereas Messi winning the World Cup felt like when I was watching footage from the 1970 World Cup and it felt like a sort of true sporting narrative.
