There's not really much else you can do, is there?

You just have to suck it up, right?

But there's going to be ad breaks and the hydration breaks, aren't there?

Yeah, that's been confirmed.

So essentially now we are, in all but name, having four quarters during the World Cup rather than two halves.

Some people are very upset about that.

Some people think, some traditionalists think that is an affront to all that is holy in the sport of football.

And you're looking at me and say that.

But I think, I mean, without being kind of too devil's advocate about it, that is kind of a one-off.

It is part of the sport culture in the US.

I think you could argue that like, you know, you could probably do that for a one World Cup final.

It could be known for it.

But half the players want breaks every five minutes.

You support Arsenal.

You're telling me Ben White wouldn't take half an hour to take a throw out if he could get away with it?

He hates watching, exactly.

He's facing the other way.

all this chat we have to do because ultimately to be fully transparent about it there isn't much football to talk about and we're excited for the World Cup but there's not that much positivity around it and it just makes me I come out of these conversations thinking oh god I just hope it's good please be good if it's not good it'll be really annoying we've said it a few times haven't we the football's going to be a really welcome break from the World Cup which is just how it feels at the moment but you know once it starts and kicks off and you're like oh I actually do really oddly care about how Curacao do yeah

We're actually going to talk about Curaçao in a minute.

So actually, let's take a quick break.
