And yeah, just the prices seems to have really increased public transport prices, the ticket prices themselves for the matches and just so many other things as well in terms of the hotels and obviously the internal flights between matches as well is huge.

But I suppose we're supporting, yeah, Ghana and Cape Verde, really, just with the Irish connections.
