Against Argentina

tomorrow night? I do.

I honestly think...

I mean, I watched them in the African Nations Cup.

And the African Soyuz, they're expressive and they're explosive.

And I think...

If the lads from Cape Verde get a chance to run at the Argentinians, I don't think the Argentinians will be able to handle it.

And you were with us at the start of the World Cup as well, Pat, and I know obviously you know Pico a very long time, but did you ever envisage that you'd be back on talking about them getting this far in the competition?

Has he always been, that standout has always been there, has it? Like, I take it you're, from what you're saying, you're not surprised, Pat, to see him making it this far.

Listen, Roberto played on a very good team, and, look, he, he, you'd have to see him playing then to realise how good he was he was very very skilful and I was chuffed when he ends up at centre half for Rovers because that's where he started off with me and because also when he started for Rovers like Stephen Bradley he's a loads man as well so he was over the moon and it's such a great you know match came at Rovers like and look what's come out of it

it's a real dream come true stuff isn't it for him and for his family

listen you couldn't meet another family Roberto came down to my house a few weeks ago I didn't even know he was coming down and I actually wasn't in but he gave me a text and a phone call saying Pat did you get that and I said get what Roberto he had given me one of those Cape Verde jerseys to wear for the World Cup and you know I texted him back I rang him I said Roberto I can't you know this is I don't believe what you're giving me.

And he's never forgotten me and he's never forgotten his roots either.

If you ask him to come down to Lourdes and do something, he'll do it.

He'll do it.

And that's the way he is.
