I'm very, very happy with my assignments here, but watching the first game, Mexico against South Africa,

in the Azteca in Mexico City.

I was incredibly jealous of everyone who was there because that just looked like the most astonishing atmosphere.

So, yeah, I mean, you know, I don't want to sound like I'm a mouthpiece for FIFA here, but it all seems to be going pretty well.

Yeah, yeah.

I feel like I need to apologize as an Englishman for the... We support England on this show.

I support England, but I don't necessarily support all the England fans.

You're going to get a very different vibe.

from England fans than Scotland fans who obviously kind of bring this kind of boisterous enthusiasm that everyone absolutely loves.

You'll have your game.

England are playing tomorrow.

Just let us enjoy this kind of great story, not sing silly little songs about England, but yeah.

Yeah, very different vibe in Boston from England fans to Scotland fans.

Okay, right.

Well, I mean, as ever with Cristiano Ronaldo, and, you know, sometimes it's his fault and sometimes it doesn't.

The debate is kind of dominated by him.

And, yeah, they played...

um they played the old congo the other day cristiano ronaldo was pretty bad um he i mean it's not as if he was doing you know he's making huge mistakes and missing big chances he just didn't really do anything which you could blame on his teammates you could blame on him not kind of

inserting himself into the game more um but when you you know when you're a team with a lot of very talented attackers and you're building a team around a 41 year old guy who is playing in saudi arabia he needs to kind of justify that faith and do something a little more than than what he did so that was and that was um that was one thing and then after the game um
