Appearances
yeah a couple good ones this evening obviously uk time um netherlands sweden should should be fun germany ivory coast as well um germany ivory coast looks great i mean just a good mix of like talented players i think contrasting kind of styles um and what's been great so far this tournament is that the big players have stepped up um and that i think always makes it especially a group stage even better there were definitely concerns that this would be boring because you could just get through in third place and people would be like you know just kind of
Captain Messi in match day one.
Oh, very nice work.
I'm happy.
The other slightly rogue shout on Sunday, and this will be very early morning, kind of UK time, New Zealand up against Egypt.
I didn't expect you to pick that up.
Well, I mean, so I've been, there was some great compilations of Chris Wood going around this week of his kind of his performance, really great kind of hold up man play, great partnership with Elijah Just there.
And which is what you want if it's a kind of smaller nation, obviously the only Oceanic Confederation team because Australia play in Asia for qualification purposes.
So they've earned their spot and just fun to see them, you know, playing such teams.
Quite a direct approach at times, but it works because they've got Chris Wood up top.
Yeah, they need to bounce back 100%.
I hope Di Lefonte is a bit more kind of ambitious in his squad selection.
Left out Olmo, left out Yemal, I think last time.
You think you've got to go for it a bit more now because if they finish second, it can change their whole kind of knockout bracket again, which...
obviously we don't know what that looks like yet but you don't want to end up kind of having to play better teams and being kind of drawn drawn on the wrong side and of course Saudi Arabia were a big banana skin um four years ago when they played Argentina so they've got still Uruguay to face in the group as well it's not it's not easy a group on paper which didn't look too hard as well and this is the thing you can never predict who's going to slip up or have problems but you know inevitably especially in a team tournament sorry 48 teams someone's going to have a bad game or two and we've seen that already

Yeah, I've received emails that were for Liam and I'm sure he's received some for me.
So it's a long-standing problem.
Yeah, they've been a great tournament team as well recently, Croatia.
It's a real banana skin, I think, of the first game in a tournament where Spain have tripped up early on, Netherlands have tripped up early on.
It's been difficult, actually, for some of those top teams.
