This is an Irish independent podcast.
Hello, everybody. So on the show today, Philippe Auclair is going to join us. Always a great guest to have on. There is lots to talk to him about when it comes to the French, who probably, I think, in early days and substandard opposition, notwithstanding in places, looked to be the best team in the tournament, maybe. Lots to talk to him about. Kylian Mbappe arrives looking a little bit rejuvenated, maybe. Booed at Real Madrid. PSG doing very well in his absence. No one wants to see their ex do this well. How good balanced or otherwise does he think the French are? Quality of French football, something to talk to Felipe about. 53 players at this World Cup are from Paris, way out in front. There is not a city that can touch Paris for the number of players it's producing.
99 French players in total. And Didier Deschamps, his mother very sadly passed away. He's going to miss the game against Norway on Friday. In some ways, the most forgotten great football man. He has been there since 2012. He has won a World Cup. Great player. Won a Euros. And yet nobody really talks about him as one of the greats. Plus there is that Netflix documentary of late, Raymond Dominic. Evil genius that he is. So curious to see how that's gone down in France in recent times. So for all you Francophiles out there, sit back, enjoy the great Philippe Auclair. Rona Mullin is here. Hello. Hi, Joe. You, of course, more leaning towards Germany than a Francophile. But I... Love the French, love French football.
I kind of realized they're my second favorite team, really. Have you always? Has this just occurred to you? It just, when I started thinking about... My life watching football, I guess that French 98 team grabbed me. I'm a Zizou guy. He's in my top three, four of all time.
What insights does Philippe Auclair provide on France's World Cup performance?
I'm a Zizou guy. And then, you know, the 2000 team, I have very fond memories of them because it was the first time I was allowed to put a bet on. And I was like, I think France are going to win your 2000, it's obvious. So I went there. journey with them. Great, great team. And then they would throw in an 0-2. And they'd throw in a 20-10. And then, I don't know, how can you not love their players?
I did French in secondary school, so I have a certain... That David Trezeguet golden goal is one of the more unique goals in that you rarely see what happens here where he... There's no deflection or anything, but the goalkeeper dives entirely the wrong way, curls it in the corner, and golden goal, it had its knockers. I was a fan.
Yeah, I think I was a fan too. So Philippe's on the way. Also, I mean, you have people like Philippe Auclair dropping in, you know. Yeah, he trumps all.
How has Kylian Mbappé's form changed leading into the tournament?
So Philippe Auclair on the way talking France. How often are you talking about the heat at the moment? Would you say every person you meet or just every second?
It's coming up in conversation, but the refuge of an air-conditioned office is I'm very grateful for. But then I cast my eyes at how our Scottish cousins are getting on over there and melting in the Miami humidity. I'm like, it could be worse.
Well, we'll come to our Scottish cousins now. I was, you know, I'm sure I'm not the only person who's had this idea. I was checking with ChatGPT, you know.
Joe, Joe.
Would it be... Stop starting your sentences like this. Why? I have an aversion to ChatGPT. Fine.
An AI tool. Should I set up... At scale, obviously, but should I set up a business which can refit houses in Ireland, the UK, maybe lots of Western Europe with air conditioning? This seems like someone's going to make a fortune. Is this going to be like your Mark Little business pivot?
