When you look at Africa, Cameroon and Nigeria didn't even qualify.

And the massive teams, they might have had some problems in qualification and things like that, but I know they both went into the playoffs, so neither of them topped the group.

And then they go out in the playoffs, and you think you're...

you know world cups when we were growing up they were always in there and not just in there but but doing well obviously cameroon reached the course finals in 19 nigeria they've had a couple of tournaments where they've had good runs and they've still got good players you know saying in nigeria but they're not they're not qualifying now so they may be resting on the ladders a little bit and thinking we'll be fine we'll walk through this but other countries are emerging like leon says they're being smart in terms of how they're recruiting you know as well but

Yeah, it's tough for Scotland, though.

You never know.

almost out of there when you get later on there's a few groups where there's teams well I think Senegal is one they've got no points and there's another team with no points so they'll be hoping well if that's a draw then you're fine and there's a couple of others where two teams have got one point and you're

It does open up a little bit later if they can hang in there for possibilities.

There is a chance there, but it's going to be really good.

I know they've had it so tough for so long.

Craig's gone back to Belfast and he said, it's 10 degrees less, I'm raining.

And I'm like, what are yous up to?

You can see Belfast practically.

If you go out to the Mersey and out on a clear day, you can fucking, how's it?

And he's like, it's just fucking our country, lad.

10 degrees less than raining.

I drive past a couple of schools on the way in and they've all gone in in PE kit.

which I think is just really smart.
