Yeah.

And I think particularly as the game extends.

So I'm from, you know, an English background where I went, I've been going to see my club Aston Villa since I was like four years old.

And it's so like deeply in my blood that, you know, like, but that's a tiny, I think that's a minority of the people who watch the World Cup.

Most people are from, you know, parts of the world where they might tune in once every four years.

And it's all about, you know, those characters and memories and people and, yeah.

You know, I'm thinking about 1990, the famous one in England would be Gazza's Tears.

I don't know if that means anything to you, but Paul Gascoigne, the sort of maverick Englishman who was like pretty sort of chaotic personal life.

And he was brilliant, but sort of very flawed.

And he got a yellow card in the semifinal against Germany.

That meant he couldn't play in the final and he cried.

And it's like Gaza's tears.

It's like a part of Britain's national story, like the sort of romantic view of football in that way.

And England didn't get to the semi-final.

England lost that semi-final to Germany on penalties, which then happened again six years later.

And this idea of like losing to Germany every time is like a very deep in the kind of national myth.

And every country has its own.

Like I've just been in Argentina and like 86 with Maradona and 2022 with Messi.

The interesting one is 1978 when Argentina won the World Cup under military dictatorship.

As people were being tortured like a mile down the road.
