By the way, just to finish on that, a lot of other big national teams, FAs and things like that, wait until the tournament is over.

to talk about what the future holds, you know.

It's usually a cycle of two years or four years, I get that, but they rarely take this kind of decision before a tournament like this.

Yeah, definitely.

know and i love this and as a former player i'm curious to see what you said basically it's the 100th anniversary of the creation of the japanese league and for that this season the league have decided to not have any draws anymore so if the game finishes one one nil nil two two they go to a penalty shootout to declare a winner the winner will get two points the loser will still get one point like if it was a draw um and people seem to be very excited about it the fans for the penalty shootout the clubs

I voted for it and we're happy to change this.

For now, it's only for this season and then next season, just for the anniversary and next season, they go back to the normal, you know, two points for a win and one point for a draw because that's what it is over there.

It's not a three-point win.

No, it's just they wanted to try something different, I think, in part of celebrations and they thought,

okay, let's do this then.

A bit like what MLS used to do a long, long time ago.

Let's not get into that.

Let's not get into that.

It was not penalty shootout, wasn't it?

It was like one-on-one with the keeper.

Fair enough.

That's fair enough.

Nel, thank you so much for coming down.

It was awesome to have you with me on this edition of the Gab & Jules show.

We'll be back on Monday.
