And I actually realized, oh, this is why they call it a World Cup, because at the airport, at the fan park, everywhere in the city, I was seeing people from all over the world, like whose teams had already been knocked out, whose teams weren't even at the World Cup, but they just wanted to be at a World Cup.
And I realized I was like, this is why this is the biggest stage in football and the biggest stage in sport.
And yeah, like you said, getting into that stadium.
And I was on the opposite end behind the goal.
So, but right in center.
So I was behind a Trippier.
And when he sent that, that is the one, I've seen some pretty special goals live in stadiums in my life, right?
I was there for Kylian Mbappe's hat trick at the 2022 World Cup final.
I've seen Declan Rice against Madrid.
I've seen some moments, right?
And I've still not died, so that's good.

It hasn't happened since.
I was also falling down on the staircase in Euphoria, but I literally remember the scenes of the pints flying in the air.
And the people kind of stumbling over each other and hugging each other and trying to stand up.

But that moment there was, that was football euphoria.
That was like otherworldly.
