Yes, yes, I think so.
Obviously Argentina too.
Okay, well, you know, I can't wait, basically.
I can't wait for World Cup fever to come around.
It's going to be interesting that it's in Mexico, United States, Canada.
That's kind of an interesting situation.
I actually have one little anecdote, football-related anecdote that you might appreciate, especially with your sort of Brazilian connection.
So I used to work in a language school in London and every Wednesday afternoon there were no classes and we would like get a bunch of the teachers and some of the learners would all get together and we'd go down to the park in Ravenscourt Park in West London and
where they have some outdoor astroturf football pitches and we'd go and play football and we had obviously learners of English from all around the world and we would have these great games of five-a-side or more football together and
We had a student at the school one year who was a Brazilian World Cup winner.
So a guy who was in the Brazilian international team, part of the squad in 1994.
And he was learning English with us at the school.
He'd gone into media.
He was like a TV presenter and wanted to improve his English.
So his name was... No, I can't pronounce it.
but very well but i don't know if you know the player because he's quite well known in france but haida olivera do you know a player called hi i think that's before my time definitely definitely before your time so we're talking like mid 90s he was the brother he is the brother of socrates a legendary brazilian player i know of him i know socrates yeah
Yeah, so this is Socrates' brother.
I don't know how you'd say hi, R-A-I.
How do you say that in Brazilian Portuguese?
All right.
