Yeah.

And for a while, it was a really open tournament.

And I think that came from the fact that at that point in football history, the international game was the pinnacle.

It was everything the players were going for.

And I think it's instructive that that tournament started to fizzle out a little bit towards the end because naturally players are tired.

Now, and I can empathize a little bit of this as a journalist, given how I'm feeling myself, the players are off the back of, like, there's no space to kind of think about these things in the same way.

Like, look at the Arsenal players.

They've been consumed with a title for so long.

It's one thing after another.

And then suddenly you're at a World Cup.

It's just more games.

And I think that could further contribute.

And in that context, where there isn't the same freshness for teams as 94, that's where I think the conditions can have even more of an effect.

And we could see some, I would imagine, some quite staccato games, elevated by moments, relatively slow games.

I do think there will be a few teams...

And Austria might be a big example of this.

They'll go hell for leather at the start, try to really press, look brilliant, be talked of as a team at the tournament, and then suddenly just collapse midway through.

So I'm in New York.

You mentioned they're going to scale at the tournament.

And it was actually a challenge we had in trying to kind of navigate it.
