Rio and Gamora, the player of the match.

He was given player of the match.

Yeah.

He's first in line if somebody gets injured, sure.

What I loved about it is obviously Tuchel said after the game that he said he wasn't best pleased in the first half because he felt players were kind of coasting, but he understood it.

Rio and Gamora thought to himself, you know what?

It's my debut.

This is shop window stuff or whatever, or at least, you know, an audition in case somebody gets injured.

I'm going to give it full pelting.

Henderson starts.

Hang on.

So you're annoyed that a player who isn't in the squad didn't start and that a player in the squad did start?

And that seems to be a fair comment there.

if you tell someone that later out of context it's very confusing might I say though that cast your minds back to 1996 so if you think what happened there was bonkers you know it's basically England versus New Zealand you're going to go Hong Kong 11 I am but I'll get to the details but that was an excuse for a piss up back in the 90s I'll get to that in a minute but the game here is basically this is how hot it's going to be lads these are the conditions get used to it very very quickly I'm fed up of hearing about that

Yeah, but that's the deal.

But the reason why you haven't, you're fed up with that is because if you think about recent World Cups, it's not actually been the issue that people thought.

Qatar obviously was hot, but it was, you know, in relative terms, their winter.

And so it wasn't as blisteringly hot as it's going to be in North America.

The World Cup before that was Russia.

Yes, it can get very hot there, but it's still a country with a more temperate climate.
