We've got to be on the West Coast.
We're in San Diego as the base camp, which is a brilliant place to be.
But the main reason, James, is the performance of the New Zealand team.
I mean, I've been covering this team for a long time, almost 20 years, and you're always a bit nervous how they'll perform on a big occasion, a big stage, especially since we haven't been in a World Cup for 16 years.
So the fact that they...
delivered such a great display against Iran was fantastic.
And it's got the nation so excited.
Seriously, the match was played at 1pm New Zealand time on a Monday.
So the whole country is watching compared to, say,
previous World Cups in South Africa and Spain.
The other two we've been at were pretty bad time zones.
So, yeah, it's been brilliant so far.
Yeah, I mean, that's a good question.
It's one everyone's been debating.
Definitely, it's better skill-wise.
And, you know, we've got so many more players playing in Europe now.
That 2010 team you mentioned, we had six players in that squad in Europe.
And some of them, with due respect, were pretty small clubs.
Now we've got players, you know, we've got Chris Wood in the Premier League, of course, but we've got a couple of players in the Championship.
We've got a player who's been in CDR.
