Yeah.

Michael, everything's level in this group, which raises the prospect that were New Zealand to get their first ever World Cup win against Egypt, then the Kiwis, a team ranked 83rd currently in the world, a nation with only two professional soccer clubs, could make it through to the knockout stages.

Are you daring to hope about this?

All right, Michael, thank you so much for joining us and the best of luck against Egypt.

Michael Burgess of the New Zealand Herald.

Lovely to hear from him and to hear a little bit about the Kiwis, who could well be one of the stories.

Well, you know, or not.

Early days, they've only had one game, that two to draw against Iran, and they are taking on an Egypt side that's got a little bit of firepower of its own.

Hey, what do you think?

They've also, Egypt, never won a game at the World Cup, having drawn their opener against Belgium.

No.

What do you think, Tom?

Elijah Wood, as Michael was describing them, or Salah and Mahmoud?

Or Salah-Mush, will you do the Fandango, I guess?

Brilliant.

All right, looking forward to that.

As I am, Belgian-Iran, which is a kind of midday game here in Los Angeles.

And it just so happens this is going to be a bit of a totally day out because almost all of us...

slight exception for producers Jesse and Lucy but almost all of us are going to be going along to this game you're going to be there Tom you're going to be there I'm going to be there Duncan producer Charlie can't wait to see the stadium and quite a difficult game to call as well I think yeah Bills can probably win

Well, so what are we expecting?
