And I know that we talk so much going into these tournaments and Fox certainly needs to find some new synonyms for sexy whenever they talk about Brazil, because I think that there was a hit where they said it about 10 times.

They do say sexy a lot.

A lot, a lot, a lot.

excellent yeah and it was one of those rare moments where he looked tested and I think that that's going to be the thing that in the moving forward will be very interesting to see with Brazil as Morocco is very good at generating chances they're just really bad at putting them on frame I think they only had about three shots on goal yeah and you're just not going to advance deep into a tournament and so I think that that's going to be the next step for them to work on but

For Brazil, they've just really got to figure out that midfield, don't they?

I think it's just going to be very difficult with the personnel that they have.

I think that wide areas will become incredibly important, but they don't really have the wide defenders necessarily to maximize them.

There's just such clear strengths in some areas and such obvious deficits in others where maybe it's a beautifully flawed team, but they're certainly flawed.

You just have to appreciate, you know, Qatar really has become sort of the punchline of World Cups over the last couple of cycles here, where it's, you know, at first it's them getting awarded it under a completely fair and justifiable bidding process.

And then obviously in this one here, you have the expanded field and they've been testing themselves in the CONCACAF Gold Cup.

So I've actually weirdly, Alex and I have seen...

Quite a bit of guitar, strangely.

Yeah, they're very comfortable in North America, and so I suppose there maybe is something that is nice about them, the home away from home that they've sort of forged here.

Well, for him as well, exactly.

Yeah, I mean, being able to sort of correct the record a little bit in terms of his World Cup participation as manager, I suppose, would also be a moment for them.

I just think overall, when you look and you think, especially with how Scotland approached that second half, you just... Teams are too used to breaking down low blocks these days.

This is something that a lot of teams have just had to get used to, right?

Is, okay, we're up 1-0 and we're just going to park it.

And that's fine.

But it's going to leave you very susceptible to these sorts of chances if you eventually you get complacent.
