The Football Daily Podcast. At the FIFA World Cup 2026. With Rick Edwards and Lloyd Griffith.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello. You sound like Harry Kane. You look good. I'm excited. I've enjoyed myself. That's all right, isn't it? How are you saying hello? Just the normal way. Go on.
Hello. What was that?
I don't know. I genuinely don't know. Okay. Well, I'll see if I can do it without saying hello. Maybe I can't. Maybe I have to say it like that. You know, my singing teacher, if you're struggling to start something, you go... Hello. Try that. Okay. Hello. Do the sentence, though. Hello, you're listening to the Football Daily with me, Rick Edwards, and... Me, Lloyd Griffith. Thank you for the help with saying hello, though. I did need it, it turns out. A couple of nice moments watching the two games today. The first was, I'd got my timings a bit wrong, and so we were watching the Egypt-Argentina game, which was very exciting... Nine o'clock start for us. Nine o'clock start. So we're watching it at home. Me, you, producer Lizzie.
and I had to get out to a meeting, and the timings were... Another meeting. Yeah, it wasn't perfect. And so I just thought, okay, I'm going to have to run in and just do an incredibly quick shower, for like a three-minute shower, in and out, and hope I don't miss anything. As I get out the shower, I hear you two shouting, and so I've just marauded into the living room, just in my towel. I accept that it was a bit much, but I also... It was like an Old Spice video. Yeah, thank you very much indeed. It was like an Old Spice video where... I shouldn't have played the music as I came out. A man of an age is in a towel. Hey, guys. Man of an age. Yeah, but you've got an age. I have got an age. There you go. So there's no denying that, is there?
Yeah. But anyway, so, sorry. It's not me. I mean... And also, sorry. I think it's producer Lizzie. But I'm glad I got to see... Was it the... I can't remember which goal it was. Was it the goal that wasn't a goal? It's the goal that wasn't a goal. It's the goal that wasn't a goal. It was the goal that wasn't a goal. I'm glad I saw that. Yeah. Yeah, we saw enough replays of it. I'm glad you saw it. Can I say something? Yeah. Fantastically defined shoulders. Thank you very much indeed. And it's quite mad how you've just shaved a thunderbolt into your body hair. By mad you mean sexy. Oh yeah, in a way. Yeah, in a way. And then the other thing is for the second game for Columbia, Switzerland, we went to a bar and it was full of Colombians.
We say our local? Basically our local, yeah. And it was great vibe in there. So the Colombians, they've got their drums and they're dancing. Cowbells. And they're winding and it's excellent. You don't think they were winding? There was a lady sort of, well, here to us, who spent most of the time winding. What do you mean by winding?
When you say winding, I think of a jacket box.
Sort of like a dance. Right, okay. Maybe I've got the wrong word, I don't know. She was doing something. I think she was just cheering on her team. Well, for a while, I didn't realise there was a screen behind her, so I also thought she was just facing the wrong way. Just loving the vibe. But she was watching it. Anyway, it's a lovely time. Yeah. Very, very vibrant. And then at some point, you sort of realised that people are giving you a funny look. They were like looking at me and like, almost like not disbelief. And I was like, oh, here we go. You know what I mean? I didn't realise that Return to Paradise, you know, available on the iPlayer. is that big in Colombia. I know it's on BritBox over here, but I was like, whoa, crikey, I think I've got some fans here.
