It's a nice needle.

But I...

I'm not absolutely sure that France will finish top of that group at all.

And when I see that group, I really regret the fact that the eight best placed third teams will go through.

Because if it were only two out of four, this group would be absolutely monstrous.

Senegal are really, really, really tough.

And when you've got a front line with Ndiaye, Jackson and Mane...

And you realize that's not even what they're the strongest, but as Barry said rightly, their defense, which is just crazy.

And we've seen as well, you know, what they did in the AFCON.

They're basically with Morocco, the best African team, and that's saying a lot.

So I would say Senegal, I've got a chance.

And they've got a chance to top that group if they start well against France.

Absolutely.

I have to, well, confession, I'm speaking to you from Oslo.

So where Norway beat Sweden last night.

I have actually been put up in the hotel where the Nobel Prizes stay, which I could not afford if I weren't invited to that conference.

But there you go.

In any case, more importantly, Norway beat Sweden last night.

It was there basically the farewell game before they flew off to the World Cup.

And they left Martin Ludoyard on the bench, obviously.
