All right, it is officially the business end of the World Cup. The quarterfinals are starting tomorrow at 9 o'clock our time. And then we have Friday at 8. We have Saturday at 10. And Sunday morning at 2 o'clock in the morning. Saturday, late, late, late, late Saturday night. Norway-England is a game that we're focusing on for our bet. David and Phil are here. David, you picked the bet. Yeah, I did. It's the first time that the person who's actually picked the bet has come in to defend their bet. So fair play to you.
Yeah. Yeah. I don't know how people have got away with doing bets and not actually being in here. But no, to be honest, I didn't pick a winner. I didn't pick anyone to qualify. I noticed that. You've sat on the fence. Yeah.
What quarter-final fixtures kick off the business end of the World Cup?
But predicting something of a classic. Yeah, I think so. Yeah. I just fancy with the games that we've seen over the last couple of days in particular that this will continue as a quarterfinals and it kind of becomes an all-time classic maybe on the pitch.
I wouldn't be terribly surprised if this went to extra time.
Which would be fine because it would take us up until the Argentina-Switzerland game. It would be late, late. Yeah. It's fine though. We can do it at the weekend. Because I did the New Mexico game and... Too much for me. Broke me. Yeah. Broke me on Monday. I thought Master Sunday was tough, but this was a lot. With the extra hour delay.
Which match did the hosts pick for their featured bet and why?
Actually, that worked out because I got an hour sleep in between. Okay. So you knew it was going to be an hour. Did they tell you? When I woke up at one. So I went to bed at 11 after the... The Sunday night game.
Yeah.
And then I got my two hours, woke up, and then I was like, right, you've another hour, right, back to sleep. And then after the game finished, back to sleep for another hour and a half and then into work. But it was like, England-Mexico was brilliant.
Yeah. It was one of those games that you had to stay up for. I couldn't, like, if I was lying in bed and that game was going on, I'd be thinking, hmm, I wonder what's going on. Like, I just couldn't...
That basically happened to me last night. I went to bed and then got up for the penalty shootout. Because I couldn't sleep anyway with the heat.
Do you know what? You missed nothing before that.
No. It was a stinker.
Yeah.
There's also the possibility some of these games turn into those. Yeah. Dour, scared, two relatively evenly matched sides.
Absolutely, yeah. Spain and Belgium.
Yeah. Yeah, maybe. Maybe Belgium aren't good enough to be able to Not sure. Are they good enough?
They showed obviously against the US but they had extra motivation for obvious reasons.
They were terrible for 84 minutes or 86 minutes of the previous game though.
yeah so what's the truth can they turn it on when they are really locked in and focused maybe this is the time they actually do something shocking good as opposed to shocking bad when they're least expected the golden generation finally delivers although it's on the bench most of the golden generation I think that's a bit harsh they did get to semi-final and got beaten by a very good France team and France were excellent in that game in 2018
Your bet is Erling Haaland any time goal scorer, Harry Kane any time goal scorer, over two and a half cards, and Declan Wright to have a shot on target. Is Declan Wright going to play right back? Is he more likely to have a shot from right back?
Yeah, I don't know. Jets fans are going to play right back, isn't he? I think so, yeah. I think Jets fans. I don't know. Are they going to throw in Dan Byrne? Big Dan Byrne after his heroic performance, his heroic cameo on Monday morning.
