This is an Irish independent podcast. Friends, welcome to the World Cup. Knockout stages are here. Happy to say we have Conor Darty. Conor. Hello, Joe. And back from his holiday, Mr. Will Slattery.
William. Hi, Joe. Nice to be in a temperature-controlled environment again. It was a tough week in that regard.
he went to France he endured the hottest day in the history of record keeping and now he's back we're happy to say Miguel Delaney is going to join us we last spoke to Miguel on the eve of the tournament so curious to see what he's made of it all we have lost 16 teams we'll pay tribute to them in due course I'll assess the impact they've made on you and we'll push on now with our last 32 such a sense of summer I mean it was obviously the World Cup's on the heatwave GA Championship, as discussed in a previous episode this morning. The jocks are back.
How did England's physicality impact their performance?
There, I said it. Continuing very nicely. And then I glance up today at the TV screen in the office and there's Wimbledon.
We've got our rackets.
It's all coalescing at one time. The wallpaper of Wimbledon in an office is truly a very relaxing thing. You described the situation as barbaric by text message in France.
Well, at one stage we were sitting around just like soaking our heads in wet towels. It was like that unbearably hot. Yeah, we arrived on Monday evening, last Monday evening. I think it was like 40 degrees when we got to a touchdown at like three or four o'clock. The following day to Tuesday was like 43 degrees Celsius. And we were staying about an hour from Bordeaux and it was in that region where our weather station clocked the highest temperature since records began in 1947. So you can't believe it. like what 80 years and it felt like that it was just so impressively hot like the weather you couldn't stand outside very long it was so like it sounds you know the cliche oh it's like a sauna out there that's what it actually did feel like it felt like you were sitting in a really high temperature sauna like all day long and we basically we were just driving around in our air conditioned rental car most of the time for the first three days because that was the only rest spot because we didn't have air conditioning in our apartment so it was tough yeah
What are the implications of Jesse Marsch's leadership style?
I was surprised to hear no air con in the apartment.
Apparently in France, it's just not really a done thing. Because funny, as we progressed like our last day yesterday, it was like 25 degrees, but it was like 16 degrees cooler. And you wouldn't have needed it necessarily then. It's just not a thing. I was in Japan two years ago, and every single building has air conditioning. It's just more in their culture, I guess, than it is in France. I'm not sure.
Yeah. Because we were suffering here.
Oh, yeah. If I hear one more person. It was very hot. Oh my God, 31 degrees. I'd have snapped your hand.
Why is Cristiano Ronaldo's role in the Portugal team under scrutiny?
I'd actually have probably killed someone for that, literally. Like, I had a baby son with me that we were concerned. I would have honestly probably committed murder to get the temperature down to 31 degrees. And I hear all you Irish whingers and whiners talking 31 degrees. But 31 felt like 34.
Felt like 34. And it's different when you're not expecting it. You're trying to do your day-to-day life here in Ireland. Like, we didn't go out of our way to meet the sun closer to the equator. Like, we were just minding our own business up here and got hit with 31.
Yeah.
You'll think twice before you go to France in June again.
Yeah, will they all be coming to Ireland in like two years' time?
That's the way it's going to go, I think. Yeah, I think it'll be April, May, September, October, a little thing over there.
