00:00My favourite actually, beyond the political context, is the fact Lionel Messi has never played England.
00:05I think that's just incredible. Not one friendly, you know, it must be quite a hard fixture to organise because
00:10of the political connotations,
00:11but not one random matchup in a knockout game. It's something Messi mentioned himself in the mix zone.
00:16I think that's really fascinating, isn't it? Like the fact he's never played England, everything he's done in his career,
00:21and now it's going to be in a World Cup semi-final, it really doesn't get any bigger.
00:25I think that's one of the great things about World Cups, that exclusivity of a match like this,
00:29where you feel like, oh wow, I get to watch England v Argentina and I have to sit down and
00:34watch it because it's a once in a generation moment.
00:37I feel like that's so special and completely sort of undermines that ludicrous argument of having a World Cup every
00:43two years,
00:43you know, that kind of thing. I think it's so, yeah, so special.
