But I'm more into football, the older I get, the more into football I get.
I can't quite explain that, but it's true.
And I've been looking forward to the World Cup.
But actually, with this World Cup, I'm a little bit apprehensive about it.
Purely because...
of Trump and Trump making it all about him.
It also spread out over, you know, three countries, which is kind of a bizarre thing anyway for the fans.
So it feels like this World Cup with Trump, with Infantino spread out over three countries that this is more about the business of football and politics rather than for the fans.
This is not for the fans.
Yeah.
For all the stuff I was kind of complaining about Trump, I'm still really looking forward to the World Cup.
It's going to be brilliant.
But just to pick up on one of the things that Simon said there, you know, apart from football's geometry, but the fact... Exactly.
Yeah, exactly.
But interestingly, on the, you know, you talk about standing on the side of a football pitch as a young fella, I thought it was really interesting what he was talking about, the local Dutch governments and councils providing all these fantastic facilities, just football pitches for people to play and getting people, young kids, into football.
You know, that kind of investment, what that does...
to the society, but also, you know, the payback is huge at the end of the day.
But perhaps Ireland should be taking a leaf out of the Dutch book when we complain about our poor performance.
Maybe that's where our focus should be.
