160
00:07:35,080 --> 00:07:37,520
Speaker 4: try to keep going, keep doing our thing on the field,

161
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 4: and that's the main thing really, you know.

162
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,559
Speaker 1: Ok. We were watching also in the Poland v Argentina match,

163
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,360
Speaker 1: one of the players tried to take Messi's jersey at

164
00:07:46,400 --> 00:07:48,720
Speaker 1: the end. It looked like Messi whispered in his ear,

165
00:07:48,760 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: go away mate, no way when we play Argentina. I reckon,

166
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:55,440
Speaker 1: you're the man to get the jersey off Messi.

167
00:07:57,800 --> 00:07:59,560
Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure were sticks a.

168
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: To him.

169
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,280
Speaker 1: Just start take your shirt off, go to hand it

170
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:06,960
Speaker 1: over and then physically start lifting up his top.

171
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:09,040

Speaker 5: We say, personally, your game was that that last half

180
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 5: was unbelievable. You injected so much life and speed into

181

198
00:09:26,679 --> 00:09:29,800
Speaker 5: I want you to have my jersey. That jersey has

199
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:34,280
Speaker 5: now been valued at one million dollars. Robbie's donated it

200
00:09:34,280 --> 00:09:36,319
Speaker 5: to a museum down in Melbourne.

201
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:37,000
Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure.

202
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:38,160
Speaker 1: But does he steal that back?

203
00:09:38,360 --> 00:09:41,760
Speaker 5: But he said there will be a moment, he said,

204
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:44,640
Speaker 5: two divorces in my life. He said, I bought a

205
00:09:44,679 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 5: soccer club and lost all my money, so I will

206
00:09:46,760 --> 00:09:47,480
Speaker 5: need that jersey.

207
00:09:47,480 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: Oh my god, there and waiting. Let's talk about this

208
00:09:49,480 --> 00:09:52,560
Speaker 1: story here because one welsh Man he's found himself in

209
00:09:52,559 --> 00:09:56,040
Speaker 1: a bit of a sticky situation. We saw Wales play England.

210
00:09:56,520 --> 00:09:59,200
Speaker 1: England won convincingly. The other day was that yesterday? I

211
00:09:59,240 --> 00:10:02,720
Speaker 1: can't keep track of it anyway. He had a conversation

212
00:10:02,800 --> 00:10:05,400
Speaker 1: with his girlfriend. He's been with her for eleven years.

213
00:10:06,280 --> 00:10:09,520
Speaker 1: She said, I know you love us, you love your sport.

214
00:10:10,080 --> 00:10:12,520
Speaker 1: Two of his best mates are already over there. He said,

215
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: I think I should go over for the game. He said,

216
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:16,440
Speaker 1: I think I should go over for the game. This

217
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,120
Speaker 1: is the first time Wales has been in the World

218
00:10:18,120 --> 00:10:21,440
Speaker 1: Cup in sixty four years. His mates are already there.

219
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: She said, we can't afford it. I don't think you

220
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:26,520
Speaker 1: should spend the money on me, a lot of money.

221
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:29,800
Speaker 1: It came down to blows where she said, I'll leave

222
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:33,200
Speaker 1: you if you go to the World Cup and spend

223
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,679
Speaker 1: our savings so you can have a good time watching

224
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 1: Wales with your mates.

225
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:37,760
Speaker 3: Huge ultimatum.

226
00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:39,760
Speaker 5: I mean I would have to think about that as well.

227
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,880
Speaker 3: What would you do? She said?

228
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,439
Speaker 1: If you do this, I won't be here. He said,

229
00:10:45,600 --> 00:10:47,800
Speaker 1: but if I don't go, I'll never forgive you.

230
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,080
Speaker 3: The badge.

231
00:10:51,559 --> 00:10:53,920
Speaker 1: He went to put everything in place, even ring his boss,

232
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:57,839
Speaker 1: who then said if you're not at work on Thursday,

233
00:10:58,400 --> 00:11:02,520
Speaker 1: you'll be sacked. He's getting nose from everybody. They're shutting

234
00:11:02,600 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: him down. He just wants to be with his mates.

235
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: To ring him and they're going, you've got to get

236
00:11:06,640 --> 00:11:11,080
Speaker 1: over here. This is the party of a lifetime. He

237
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:16,640
Speaker 1: went on to say, I did everything. I made every effort.

238
00:11:16,960 --> 00:11:19,760
Speaker 1: I even spoke to her mom and dad. You can't

239
00:11:19,880 --> 00:11:22,760
Speaker 1: an acceptance, hoping that her old man might say to her, hey,

240
00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:25,640
Speaker 1: go easy on him. He loves his foot. His mates

241
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: are there. This is a one in a lifetime. He

242
00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:29,720
Speaker 1: had a no from everybody.

243
00:11:30,320 --> 00:11:33,160
Speaker 3: Is it a toss of the coin? No, it's not

244
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,880
Speaker 3: like the universe is saying no.

245
00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:37,679
Speaker 4: Everyone is saying.

246
00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,440
Speaker 1: No, Everyone is saying no. What do you reckon?

247
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:40,760
Speaker 3: He did?

248
00:11:40,920 --> 00:11:43,040
Speaker 1: He went see you later, guys, I'm out of here,

249
00:11:43,800 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: see you later. The boys loved him. He had Jamie

250
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: and Stewie who were over there already. He went and

251
00:11:49,960 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: joined them. Lost his job, lost his girlfriend, They got flogged,

252
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,959
Speaker 1: and they got flogged. That says, there's no way I

253
00:11:57,000 --> 00:12:00,400
Speaker 1: would change my mind and I'd do this again.

254
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 5: My old man went to the ashes a in London

255
00:12:03,640 --> 00:12:07,080
Speaker 5: and spent a lot of mum and Dad's life savings. Really,

256
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 5: I remember it because I was younger. Mum was fuming.

257
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:13,840
Speaker 5: Mum was fuming, saying, we can't afford this, and Dad said,

258
00:12:13,880 --> 00:12:16,760
Speaker 5: you know this has been my one but it's my

259
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:19,200
