That is about as far as you can take it without losing your base.

As we all know in 2026, your base is important.

And I don't believe this alternate partnership with the NFL would work.

But it's an interesting idea.

I'd like them better if everyone else didn't like them as much.

Like, it makes me nervous how much they're being talked up.

Like, they're being talked up like the way Nigeria was being talked up in 1994 in that World Cup.

When Pele said, well, Nigeria are going to win the first African World Cup.

Now, in terms of what you said about the PSG guys, Vitinha and Joao Neves and Nuno Mendes, like, there's really two nations in this tournament that have players that have won two straight Champions Leagues.

It's France and it's Portia.

I like that as someone who follows the Portuguese national team.

I'm a fan of that.

The problem is you have an ego at the front of the train that is immovable.

Andre the Giant was more movable than this object at the front of Portugal's spear in Cristiano Ronaldo.

The ego is unlike anything we've ever seen.

It's crazy.

Now, he's 41.

We've been told through the media, look, what's good for the team is what will be done.

Ronaldo's not going to go out there and run around huffing and puffing at 41 years old for 90 minutes if it's not working.

That's what we've been told in this tournament.
