So it was just three of the greatest weeks of my life in terms of supporting the Irish team and making, you know, meeting the other countries and just meeting the Irish expats and...

Yeah, and it was my second time in America, but it was the first time to really get my teeth into it.

And it was three glorious weeks.

Just, I'll never forget the three.

It was magic.

Yeah, magic.

Yeah, I mean, for sort of completely different reasons, really.

Me as a 15-year-old watching it on TV when my dad would record it, sort of the night before the games.

And I enjoyed it more than Italia 90, even though...

That was an amazing tournament, but it was quite, I find watching England quite stressful.

Fundamentally, I find it stressful.

And just watching just a tournament unfold with lots of like fun narratives and without the stress of like, I didn't really mind who won.

it's a great tournament with a slightly disappointing final but good result for you I think it's going to be I think they've learned and they do organise things well they weren't great with their beer serving after matches

They had a fan zone in Joint Stadium.

What they never copped on was 50,000 Irish people want three points now.

You can make a lot of money here.

It'll peter off after that and everyone will go steady.

Different culture.

It's a different culture.

In American football, people are drifting up to the bar in the grounds.
