Lachland Brook opening the scoring early 14 00:01:00,827 --> 00:01:03,427 Speaker 2: for the Black Nights before the Phoenix had center back 15 00:01:03,507 --> 00:01:07,067 Speaker 2: man Dracer James sent off after thirty seconds in the 16 00:01:07,147 --> 00:01:11,147 Speaker 2: second half, but Wellington Phoenix captain Alex Ruffer equalized with 17 00:01:11,307 --> 00:01:14,667 Speaker 2: a brilliant strike. Then Auckland f C were rewarded two penalties. 18 00:01:15,227 --> 00:01:18,627 Speaker 2: Wellington keeper josh Olawaimi saved the first one. He also 19 00:01:18,707 --> 00:01:21,307 Speaker 2: saved the second, but the rebound fell to the taker 20 00:01:21,707 --> 00:01:25,387 Speaker 2: Francis DeVries, who followed up to score, Gizuomo Mai made 21 00:01:25,427 --> 00:01:28,707 Speaker 2: the points safe with ten minutes to go. Watching on 22 00:01:28,987 --> 00:01:32,227 Speaker 2: in the sunshine at go Media Stadium among a big 23 00:01:32,307 --> 00:01:35,587 Speaker 2: crowd of nearly twenty four thousand was former All White 24 00:01:35,587 --> 00:01:38,067 Speaker 2: striker Nol Barkley, who joins US now. Noel thanks for 25 00:01:38,147 --> 00:01:40,587 Speaker 2: taking the time to break this one down for us, 26 00:01:40,627 --> 00:01:43,187 Speaker 2: although I'm not too sure where to start with so 27 00:01:43,307 --> 00:01:44,307 Speaker 2: many talking points. 28 00:01:45,467 --> 00:01:47,707 Speaker 3: Did Auckland f C deserve to win the game? 29 00:01:49,387 --> 00:01:53,027 Speaker 5: I think so, but you know, there was calamity all 30 00:01:53,107 --> 00:01:53,987 Speaker 5: the way through the game. 31 00:01:54,107 --> 00:01:56,947 Speaker 6: I think one of the significant moments was I can't 32 00:01:56,987 --> 00:01:59,067 Speaker 6: remember where it was one or two to one to 33 00:01:59,187 --> 00:02:02,547 Speaker 6: Auckland when well magel Belt came to pick one up 34 00:02:02,547 --> 00:02:05,547 Speaker 6: and hooked back in the middle and Phoenix smiths it 35 00:02:05,707 --> 00:02:07,387 Speaker 6: was like a simple happened. Had her to go to 36 00:02:07,547 --> 00:02:11,027 Speaker 6: two or two to one and that was mad changed again. 37 00:02:11,107 --> 00:02:13,707 Speaker 6: But I think I mean rufe of scoring at one 38 00:02:13,747 --> 00:02:16,587 Speaker 6: to one really sort of turned the game because Ukum 39 00:02:16,667 --> 00:02:19,547 Speaker 6: had stopped playing in that had possession and had chances. 40 00:02:19,667 --> 00:02:22,187 Speaker 6: But when they went back to one one, they really 41 00:02:22,227 --> 00:02:24,347 Speaker 6: started to sort of flex the muscles. And I think 42 00:02:24,387 --> 00:02:26,547 Speaker 6: if you look at the number of seals that Dolla 43 00:02:26,547 --> 00:02:28,907 Speaker 6: when he made it is incredible. He had an absolute 44 00:02:29,027 --> 00:02:31,507 Speaker 6: brain of a game he'd want to obviously wanted to 45 00:02:31,587 --> 00:02:33,667 Speaker 6: sort of met good in that very first derby where 46 00:02:33,667 --> 00:02:37,747 Speaker 6: he cost the Phoenix agame. So a cracking game and 47 00:02:37,947 --> 00:02:41,147 Speaker 6: lots of great individual battles and it sort of was 48 00:02:41,227 --> 00:02:42,387 Speaker 6: the big disader in the game. 49 00:02:42,667 --> 00:02:43,027 Speaker 3: Indeed. 50 00:02:43,107 --> 00:02:44,707 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was a real battle and I know the 51 00:02:45,107 --> 00:02:47,747 Speaker 2: incident you're referring to, Yeah, Ramy Nagerine. It was a 52 00:02:47,827 --> 00:02:51,387 Speaker 2: great chance in hindsight, and Auckland almost stopped, didn't they 53 00:02:51,387 --> 00:02:52,947 Speaker 2: as I got to the line pulled it back And 54 00:02:53,747 --> 00:02:56,907 Speaker 2: it was quite chaotic, wasn't it? Is that a good 55 00:02:56,947 --> 00:02:57,827 Speaker 2: word to describe it? 56 00:02:58,947 --> 00:03:01,027 Speaker 6: Well? I think these derby yeah, absolutely, I think these 57 00:03:01,107 --> 00:03:03,147 Speaker 6: derbies are sort of bringing something a bit special. I 58 00:03:03,187 --> 00:03:05,747 Speaker 6: think we saw it last week too in the Sydney Derby. 59 00:03:05,907 --> 00:03:08,027 Speaker 6: Was there was lots of goals, there was lots of 60 00:03:08,147 --> 00:03:10,867 Speaker 6: issues and the intensity of the gain was a different 61 00:03:10,907 --> 00:03:14,627 Speaker 6: you know, twenty odd thousand people again, it just changes everything. 62 00:03:14,827 --> 00:03:16,347 Speaker 5: And certainly the port. 63 00:03:16,467 --> 00:03:18,107 Speaker 6: Were really up for it, as you could see with 64 00:03:18,227 --> 00:03:21,707 Speaker 6: the tifo and the songs and the chants and so 65 00:03:22,387 --> 00:03:24,147 Speaker 6: they really sort of came up for the moment good 66 00:03:24,187 --> 00:03:26,307 Speaker 6: to say, a good contingent at Wellington there. Then they 67 00:03:26,347 --> 00:03:30,027 Speaker 6: were loving it when Alex scored. So yeah, the Darbies 68 00:03:30,067 --> 00:03:31,307 Speaker 6: are a bit special, you know. I mean, it was 69 00:03:31,347 --> 00:03:33,427 Speaker 6: good to see the numbers back up again close to 70 00:03:33,467 --> 00:03:36,947 Speaker 6: twenty three thousand. We're in from open's perspectives, they've been 71 00:03:36,987 --> 00:03:39,467 Speaker 6: a bit done and some of the performances have been 72 00:03:39,467 --> 00:03:42,347 Speaker 6: a bit done as well. But yesterday it was business 73 00:03:42,347 --> 00:03:44,787 Speaker 6: as usual, and I mean really am and I think 74 00:03:44,827 --> 00:03:48,227 Speaker 6: the chances that were messed obviously disallowed goals to penalties 75 00:03:49,307 --> 00:03:52,947 Speaker 6: not taken. Yeah, game really had everything. Yeah, I guess 76 00:03:52,987 --> 00:03:54,587 Speaker 6: it just had a little bit of a problem with 77 00:03:54,707 --> 00:03:59,067 Speaker 6: Wellington with fullbacks kept getting the ball and if they 78 00:03:59,227 --> 00:04:02,227 Speaker 6: was really showing in the channels, but the number of 79 00:04:02,307 --> 00:04:04,867 Speaker 6: times they checked out and went square was incredible for me. 80 00:04:04,947 --> 00:04:08,227 Speaker 6: I always watched the Nines and easy was showing in 81 00:04:08,307 --> 00:04:10,227 Speaker 6: the channel all the time and they just needed to 82 00:04:10,507 --> 00:04:12,787 Speaker 6: clip one down there and at least, you know, they're 83 00:04:12,787 --> 00:04:15,867 Speaker 6: sort of thirty forty yards further forward, not quite sure, 84 00:04:16,067 --> 00:04:18,707 Speaker 6: and that young man must be pretty frustrated indeed. 85 00:04:18,787 --> 00:04:21,747 Speaker 2: Yeah, and I's got observation. They always well Aukland alway 86 00:04:21,747 --> 00:04:24,067 Speaker 2: seemed to face forward and play forward, don't they. I 87 00:04:24,227 --> 00:04:27,027 Speaker 2: think the Phoenix are quite quite of that state of mind. 88 00:04:27,347 --> 00:04:30,187 Speaker 2: The penalty snoll too given to Walkland f C. 89 00:04:30,307 --> 00:04:31,027 Speaker 3: What did you make of them? 90 00:04:32,267 --> 00:04:33,547 Speaker 5: The first one, I had no idea. 91 00:04:33,627 --> 00:04:35,747 Speaker 6: Obviously you mean that because that was obviously picked up 92 00:04:35,747 --> 00:04:37,947 Speaker 6: by vir and nobody else seemed to pick it up. 93 00:04:38,787 --> 00:04:41,227 Speaker 6: So I mean, Vio is your friend one day and 94 00:04:41,307 --> 00:04:44,867 Speaker 6: your enemy the next. I'm not sure about the first one. 95 00:04:44,947 --> 00:04:48,707 Speaker 6: The second one definitely looked like that. Cosgrove was certainly 96 00:04:48,747 --> 00:04:51,827 Speaker 6: making the most of every situation, and as a defender 97 00:04:51,867 --> 00:04:52,427 Speaker 6: gets sucked in. 98 00:04:52,507 --> 00:04:53,707 Speaker 5: Well, they deserve all to get. 99 00:04:54,147 --> 00:04:56,987 Speaker 6: And I think that the pennicle of the game really 100 00:04:57,107 --> 00:05:01,587 Speaker 6: was decided on the Cosgrove games battle, because Cosgo definitely 101 00:05:01,627 --> 00:05:03,187 Speaker 6: got the better of him. He's you know, there's been 102 00:05:03,267 --> 00:05:06,147 Speaker 6: question marks about him, certainly with his hold up play 103 00:05:06,187 --> 00:05:06,627 Speaker 6: and so on. 104 00:05:06,787 --> 00:05:07,947 Speaker 5: He was winning a lot of flicks. 105 00:05:08,027 --> 00:05:11,107 Speaker 6: Yesterday he sort of sucked games into you know, a 106 00:05:11,187 --> 00:05:13,667 Speaker 6: booking and then and then ascending off and of course 107 00:05:13,667 --> 00:05:15,987 Speaker 6: he got booked himself, which means he suspended as well. 108 00:05:16,107 --> 00:05:19,187 Speaker 6: So that was the big changing part of the game, 109 00:05:19,267 --> 00:05:22,187 Speaker 6: because having losing games really sort that In Numerica and 110 00:05:22,307 --> 00:05:25,187 Speaker 6: Dundee just Auk made it pay and again that's in 111 00:05:25,227 --> 00:05:28,387 Speaker 6: the later stages. You know my scored from a cosgro flick, 112 00:05:28,627 --> 00:05:31,387 Speaker 6: so Cosgo's best game. He's probably needed a good one 113 00:05:31,467 --> 00:05:35,027 Speaker 6: yesterday and he was very influential and the fans a 114 00:05:35,147 --> 00:05:37,347 Speaker 6: bit happy with him then what they have been indeed, 115 00:05:37,547 --> 00:05:39,987 Speaker 6: and Lachlan Brooke went into a slightly different role for 116 00:05:40,107 --> 00:05:43,227 Speaker 6: him in that number ten, Logan Rogerson starting, which I 117 00:05:43,267 --> 00:05:45,027 Speaker 6: know a lot of people were very happy to see. 118 00:05:45,587 --> 00:05:47,667 Speaker 3: Did you like that? Brook and the teen and Rogerson 119 00:05:47,707 --> 00:05:48,707 Speaker 3: back in the starting side. 120 00:05:49,627 --> 00:05:52,587 Speaker 6: I can never understand why Rogerson didn't start at the 121 00:05:52,627 --> 00:05:54,747 Speaker 6: start of the season. He had such a fantastic year 122 00:05:54,827 --> 00:05:57,267 Speaker 6: last year and I always seen him as a as 123 00:05:57,307 --> 00:05:59,827 Speaker 6: a as an all White squad member and hasn't helped 124 00:05:59,907 --> 00:06:02,867 Speaker 6: himself of course in Wellington getting sent off, so very 125 00:06:02,907 --> 00:06:04,627 Speaker 6: place to see him come back in. He seemed to 126 00:06:04,707 --> 00:06:06,867 Speaker 6: link up well with come Ayot who thought have a 127 00:06:07,027 --> 00:06:10,987 Speaker 6: super game and Brooke he's got you know, he's very clever, 128 00:06:12,027 --> 00:06:13,987 Speaker 6: very good on the ball, and I quite liked him 129 00:06:14,027 --> 00:06:16,747 Speaker 6: in the ten. Obviously didn't work so good last week 130 00:06:16,827 --> 00:06:19,427 Speaker 6: with Cam Howitz and he's got a little bit more 131 00:06:19,507 --> 00:06:22,187 Speaker 6: pace Brooks, so we like the changes. I like to 132 00:06:22,227 --> 00:06:25,027 Speaker 6: see my coming on mayas the ast the game breaker 133 00:06:25,107 --> 00:06:27,907 Speaker 6: for Oakland and having him fit and having him link 134 00:06:27,987 --> 00:06:29,547 Speaker 6: up with Cosgo and the y Men. 135 00:06:29,587 --> 00:06:31,027 Speaker 5: Definitely the way forward. 136 00:06:31,587 --> 00:06:34,587 Speaker 6: They're weird that the draw is weird, you know, Auckland 137 00:06:34,627 --> 00:06:36,707 Speaker 6: and I have five away games out of six. I 138 00:06:36,747 --> 00:06:38,787 Speaker 6: don't quite know what they're doing with the draw or 139 00:06:38,987 --> 00:06:40,987 Speaker 6: Wellington seemed to be home and away, home and away, 140 00:06:41,467 --> 00:06:44,067 Speaker 6: So yeah, that's going to be tough being interesting to 141 00:06:44,067 --> 00:06:45,827 Speaker 6: see where they sit in six weeks time. 142 00:06:46,147 --> 00:06:48,627 Speaker 2: It has been something of an inconsistent last couple of 143 00:06:48,667 --> 00:06:50,827 Speaker 2: weeks for Oakland. The f see a drawer against Brisbane, 144 00:06:50,867 --> 00:06:53,827 Speaker 2: the lost in Newcastle, albeit in torrential rain last week. 145 00:06:54,227 --> 00:06:56,227 Speaker 2: Now did yes, did I feel like they were getting 146 00:06:56,387 --> 00:06:59,027 Speaker 2: back to the form we saw from them last season? 147 00:07:00,467 --> 00:07:02,227 Speaker 6: Yeah? I think you could just see it after the 148 00:07:02,267 --> 00:07:05,307 Speaker 6: game on people's faces, you know, and people like Ali 149 00:07:05,427 --> 00:07:07,867 Speaker 6: and they were just seeing yesterday in the in the 150 00:07:07,947 --> 00:07:10,587 Speaker 6: lounge after the game, and we haven't seen that this year. 151 00:07:10,627 --> 00:07:12,547 Speaker 6: I mean, even the wins have been a bit scrappy. 152 00:07:12,787 --> 00:07:15,347 Speaker 6: So yeah, there was definitely the signs and again that 153 00:07:15,427 --> 00:07:17,707 Speaker 6: the fact that the crowd came out and I'm probably 154 00:07:17,747 --> 00:07:19,667 Speaker 6: quite good. Did they get a break after having three 155 00:07:19,707 --> 00:07:21,947 Speaker 6: at home? Not easy for a club to keep the 156 00:07:22,067 --> 00:07:24,227 Speaker 6: numbers up, So yeah, there were there was the signs 157 00:07:24,867 --> 00:07:27,987 Speaker 6: competition for places now in the Auckland team, you know, 158 00:07:28,147 --> 00:07:30,867 Speaker 6: Gallias not getting a game, not getting a start, and 159 00:07:31,427 --> 00:07:34,587 Speaker 6: lots of options in wide players. Rogerson back playing. He'll 160 00:07:34,627 --> 00:07:36,787 Speaker 6: start again next week, I would imagine, and I really 161 00:07:36,867 --> 00:07:38,267 Speaker 6: like to see him have a bit of a run 162 00:07:38,627 --> 00:07:41,987 Speaker 6: and push his way into that World Cup that we're 163 00:07:41,987 --> 00:07:42,467 Speaker 6: all waiting for. 164 00:07:42,787 --> 00:07:43,867 Speaker 2: And they don't want to get to that in the 165 00:07:43,907 --> 00:07:46,747 Speaker 2: second actually, But just on the derby, Steve Carriker, Auckland 166 00:07:46,867 --> 00:07:51,267 Speaker 2: FC head coach, intentionally embraces the magnitude of these games. 167 00:07:51,347 --> 00:07:53,707 Speaker 2: He's not of the school of thought arts. You know, 168 00:07:53,787 --> 00:07:56,067 Speaker 2: they're all games are the same, it's just another three points. 169 00:07:56,387 --> 00:07:58,667 Speaker 2: Do you like the fact that he embraces the derbies 170 00:07:58,747 --> 00:08:00,827 Speaker 2: the way he does well, I think that. 171 00:08:00,947 --> 00:08:02,507 Speaker 5: Comes from who he is really. 172 00:08:02,587 --> 00:08:04,907 Speaker 6: You know, he's he's a winner and when you hear 173 00:08:04,987 --> 00:08:08,187 Speaker 6: him speak, he's very passionate about every game. But you know, 174 00:08:08,227 --> 00:08:11,187 Speaker 6: having come from Sydney and experienced the whole, you know, 175 00:08:11,267 --> 00:08:13,747 Speaker 6: the Sydney derby thing where you know it is massive. 176 00:08:13,787 --> 00:08:16,507 Speaker 6: You know, they they absolutely detest each other. I don't 177 00:08:16,507 --> 00:08:19,827 Speaker 6: think we're quite that SI in New Zealand. Most of 178 00:08:19,867 --> 00:08:22,147 Speaker 6: the Open fans still support the Phoenix in some way. 179 00:08:22,947 --> 00:08:26,707 Speaker 6: But yeah, look, he loves it and he fires the 180 00:08:26,747 --> 00:08:29,467 Speaker 6: players that We actually bumped into Louis for Stratton during 181 00:08:29,467 --> 00:08:32,347 Speaker 6: the week at a restaurant, and funny he was just saying, oh, 182 00:08:32,387 --> 00:08:33,867 Speaker 6: we're up for it, we really want to win this, 183 00:08:34,027 --> 00:08:36,147 Speaker 6: and that was that was interesting because he's quite a 184 00:08:36,227 --> 00:08:39,867 Speaker 6: quiet lad and we walked away with the impression that 185 00:08:40,387 --> 00:08:42,387 Speaker 6: it was all going to happen. And so so, yeah, 186 00:08:42,467 --> 00:08:44,907 Speaker 6: Carter's done a great job in those derbies, five in 187 00:08:44,947 --> 00:08:47,867 Speaker 6: a row. For it's going to be tough and what 188 00:08:48,027 --> 00:08:50,027 Speaker 6: is it sort of sec twenty second of Fibruary or 189 00:08:50,067 --> 00:08:50,467 Speaker 6: something like that. 190 00:08:50,667 --> 00:08:53,347 Speaker 3: Yeah, do you think the fighters will eva when one 191 00:08:53,387 --> 00:08:53,707 Speaker 3: of these? 192 00:08:54,427 --> 00:08:58,507 Speaker 5: Yeah, they will. It's inevitable it'll happen. 193 00:08:59,347 --> 00:09:02,227 Speaker 6: But you know, I think that if you know, certainly 194 00:09:02,267 --> 00:09:04,867 Speaker 6: with the game down there again, they need to get 195 00:09:04,947 --> 00:09:07,667 Speaker 6: people along, they need to get people on board. They've 196 00:09:07,667 --> 00:09:09,467 Speaker 6: got a couple of home games now, I think fairly, 197 00:09:09,627 --> 00:09:12,467 Speaker 6: you know it's a Central Coast and Jets games that 198 00:09:12,667 --> 00:09:14,667 Speaker 6: you know, winning them again, they need to start winning 199 00:09:14,707 --> 00:09:16,427 Speaker 6: those games if they're going to sort of you know, 200 00:09:16,787 --> 00:09:19,827 Speaker 6: they get to get numbers are really awful and we 201 00:09:19,947 --> 00:09:22,387 Speaker 6: all want them to be up around the ten thousand mark. 202 00:09:22,427 --> 00:09:25,627 Speaker 6: There's no reason why it shouldn't be. Yeah, yesterday was 203 00:09:25,627 --> 00:09:27,507 Speaker 6: a bit disappointed because I thought they could have done more. 204 00:09:27,587 --> 00:09:29,267 Speaker 6: I mean to told here, I really liked in the 205 00:09:29,307 --> 00:09:31,467 Speaker 6: first few weeks. Has sort of went a bit missing yesterday. 206 00:09:31,507 --> 00:09:32,067 Speaker 5: He did nothing. 207 00:09:32,907 --> 00:09:34,907 Speaker 6: I prefer them out wide where he can actually sort 208 00:09:34,907 --> 00:09:36,827 Speaker 6: of clip balls down their land and get some crosses 209 00:09:36,867 --> 00:09:39,627 Speaker 6: into the likes. See, he sort of went missing for me. 210 00:09:40,507 --> 00:09:43,067 Speaker 6: But I think they're better than that, and and they've 211 00:09:43,067 --> 00:09:45,307 Speaker 6: got some good young players, but they need to be 212 00:09:45,507 --> 00:09:47,147 Speaker 6: they need to be a little bit more direct and 213 00:09:47,227 --> 00:09:48,147 Speaker 6: getting the ball forward. 214 00:09:48,507 --> 00:09:49,787 Speaker 3: And you alluded to it before, nol. 215 00:09:49,867 --> 00:09:50,027 Speaker 6: Yeah. 216 00:09:50,067 --> 00:09:52,667 Speaker 2: Five of walklan FCA's next six games are in Australia. 217 00:09:53,067 --> 00:09:54,867 Speaker 2: They're back for one game on New Year's Day against 218 00:09:54,867 --> 00:09:56,707 Speaker 2: the Jets. Otherwise they're away for the best part of 219 00:09:56,787 --> 00:09:59,987 Speaker 2: the next six to seven weeks. I guess the positive 220 00:10:00,107 --> 00:10:01,827 Speaker 2: is they'll have time together on the road, which is 221 00:10:01,827 --> 00:10:03,627 Speaker 2: always good for team bonding, but it will present a 222 00:10:03,707 --> 00:10:05,067 Speaker 2: challenge mind up with all that travel. 223 00:10:07,627 --> 00:10:09,707 Speaker 6: You know they're not easy games either. You know, they've 224 00:10:09,707 --> 00:10:13,587 Speaker 6: got some tough ones at Sydney and as well. Yeah, 225 00:10:13,627 --> 00:10:16,387 Speaker 6: but I think it worked in their favor last year 226 00:10:16,427 --> 00:10:18,427 Speaker 6: with having all the home games early on, and that 227 00:10:18,547 --> 00:10:20,347 Speaker 6: meant they've got you know, lots of wins in a 228 00:10:20,387 --> 00:10:22,427 Speaker 6: bit of a lead which we ended up needing in 229 00:10:22,507 --> 00:10:25,507 Speaker 6: the end. But certainly, certainly it'll be a bit of 230 00:10:25,627 --> 00:10:28,387 Speaker 6: test and you know, obviously cosgo vout next game I think, 231 00:10:28,707 --> 00:10:31,787 Speaker 6: and injury suspensions start to be an issue, and it's 232 00:10:31,787 --> 00:10:33,827 Speaker 6: harder going to Australia. I mean, even though they go 233 00:10:33,947 --> 00:10:34,947 Speaker 6: too three days early. 234 00:10:35,787 --> 00:10:37,147 Speaker 5: It's just different, you know. 235 00:10:38,027 --> 00:10:40,187 Speaker 6: But you know, I think it'll be your couple of 236 00:10:40,267 --> 00:10:42,467 Speaker 6: draws and went here and there, and I think they'll 237 00:10:42,507 --> 00:10:44,667 Speaker 6: be sort of still in that comfortably sort of one 238 00:10:44,747 --> 00:10:47,467 Speaker 6: two three position when they get some home games early 239 00:10:47,547 --> 00:10:48,027 Speaker 6: in the new year. 240 00:10:48,267 --> 00:10:49,987 Speaker 2: All right, And just to finish the All Whites World 241 00:10:50,027 --> 00:10:54,227 Speaker 2: Cup group confirmed yesterday of course Iran, Egypt and Belgium. 242 00:10:54,707 --> 00:10:57,107 Speaker 3: How do you judge the your wat's ability to get 243 00:10:57,147 --> 00:10:57,787 Speaker 3: out of that group. 244 00:10:59,507 --> 00:11:02,187 Speaker 5: I love the draw, Jason, I absolutely love the draw. 245 00:11:02,747 --> 00:11:05,347 Speaker 5: I love the locations. It's two locations. It's get easy 246 00:11:05,427 --> 00:11:05,787 Speaker 5: fly to. 247 00:11:05,907 --> 00:11:10,107 Speaker 6: La and yes, yes, it's the fans dream really and 248 00:11:10,507 --> 00:11:12,827 Speaker 6: and you know, all of a sudden it's become affordable. 249 00:11:12,947 --> 00:11:14,787 Speaker 6: So I would love to think that there'd be lots 250 00:11:14,787 --> 00:11:16,467 Speaker 6: of key we thinking well I might go to this now, 251 00:11:16,547 --> 00:11:19,467 Speaker 6: whereas before you could be all over the show and 252 00:11:19,587 --> 00:11:21,987 Speaker 6: the teams. You hell, at Belgium, we know, but you 253 00:11:22,067 --> 00:11:25,507 Speaker 6: know they're on the slide a little bit around, you know, 254 00:11:25,547 --> 00:11:27,947 Speaker 6: obviously that's that's that's the game. You want to pick 255 00:11:27,987 --> 00:11:29,907 Speaker 6: the win and maybe you try and get a draw 256 00:11:29,947 --> 00:11:32,787 Speaker 6: against Egypt. So yeah, very positive in light of our 257 00:11:32,827 --> 00:11:35,587 Speaker 6: performances in the last basically the last sort of twelve 258 00:11:35,667 --> 00:11:38,347 Speaker 6: to eighteen months, I think that we don't fear those 259 00:11:38,387 --> 00:11:40,587 Speaker 6: two teams and we you know, we get would be 260 00:11:40,627 --> 00:11:43,027 Speaker 6: fit hopefully, and you know, we just need our best 261 00:11:43,467 --> 00:11:45,987 Speaker 6: for this eleven players on the pitch, and I think 262 00:11:46,067 --> 00:11:48,347 Speaker 6: we give we give a really good account of ourselves. 263 00:11:48,347 --> 00:11:51,107 Speaker 6: And when I'm reading today that we come second and 264 00:11:51,147 --> 00:11:53,587 Speaker 6: Australia comes second, we play them and around the thirty 265 00:11:53,627 --> 00:11:55,027 Speaker 6: two game, which would be incredible. 266 00:11:55,387 --> 00:11:59,267 Speaker 2: How could would that be the World Cup? Exciting times ahead, incredible. No, 267 00:11:59,427 --> 00:12:01,707 Speaker 2: thanks for joining us today with your analysis.
