Strange that they were trying to ruin the 1934 World Cup, which was in Italy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

400 years later.

Okay.

Finally, we have a very simple philosophy here in Off the Wall Towers.

If you're good enough, you're old enough.

And not, by the way, the other way around, which almost everyone says, but makes literally no sense.

If you're good enough, you're old enough, people say.

Oh no, sorry, that is the correct one.

They say if you're old enough, you're good enough, which is bullshit.

Because I'm old enough and I'm certainly not good enough.

Okay, anyway, Jose Peckerman was too much of a coward to use his prodigy at the 2006 World Cup, but we'll never make that mistake.

If it's too early and it ruins his future in quiz and career, well, that's just a risk we are willing to take.

Please welcome, for his crappy quiz debut, Ross the Prodigy Flanagan.

hey nice so Ross we gave David the fountain moniker in his first quiz because of our hope for his quizzing uh

prowess and it didn't start too well I would say David but look what's become you know what I mean he got those early reps under his belt those early caps putting in those kind of like you know those first 10-15 caps in an Irish shirt slash crappy quiz seat you know paved the way for him now to become one of the leaders of the show so you know I wouldn't say one of the leaders but it's a bit like what Mason Mealy you know he'd come on for like two minutes there last week and he might get 20 minutes maybe tonight and

But I think you're in more Detroit Parrot role now and Ross is Mason Media.

It's better than that.

You're when England recall Jordan Henderson because 26 is a big squad and they don't actually need all 26 players, but they want vibes.

A 26 player who's a leader and is good around the dressing room is more important than the 26th best player.
