Not too bad, not too bad.
I have to say, I'm feeling the excitement for the game.
It's been a long tournament, but this is exactly the sort of match you want at this point.
I mean, I've done a big piece of the independent on this.
I'm not sure there are too many bigger in terms of the scale of the game, where you can have it, and also as lamentable as some of this is.
But the history that does kind of generate this charge around it and the atmosphere about it.
And also then there's the rarity value.
I mean, like obviously you'd want a Brazil-Argentina World Cup semifinal at some point or a final.
But that happens every year.
This is the first time it's happened in the World Cup since 2002 and at all since 2005.
And yeah, it's like even saying the words Argentina-England in a World Cup knockout game is in a World Cup semifinal at that.
It's thrilling.
Well, I suppose there's actually a little bit of a parallel with England-Germany.
Again, a bit like Brazil-Argentina, England-Germany can take place in the Euro, so you see it more.
But also, with England-Germany, there's this constant sense that one side sees it as a purely football rivalry, and the other side, it's so much more.
And in this case, it's Argentina that sees it so much more.
Like, obviously... So this is what I said on my piece, I suppose.
Real history, obviously, infused the game initially, and obviously there was the kind... There was...
those Malvinas or the Falklands that set the context for 1986.
And I watched a brilliant documentary on that game, and it's called The Match.
