World Cup FINAL Preview!

I mean, I thought, and this is how naive I am, MP, but I came up to cover The Open, having done my prep, and realized that since England won the World Cup in 1966, only two English men had won The Open.

Nick Faldo, one of them, did it three times.

Tony Jacklin was the other in 1969.

So we came to Birkdale here, and I'm absolutely convinced, particularly after the way we came through against Norway, that we were going to beat Argentina and that come Sunday we were gonna have the greatest day in the history of English sport.

Because in the afternoon, you can take Tyrrell Hatton, you can take one of the Fitzpatricks, whoever it was going to be.

Tommy Fleetwood, he's the local hero.

He comes from Southport.

Tommy Fleetwood to lift the Claret Jug at about 6:40, and then we can all turn our attention to England against France, I assumed it was going to be, and we get lucky, and we could finally celebrate.

Oh dear, oh dear.

So England have failed dismally.

Don't put any money on an English golfer lifting the Claret Jug on Sunday either.

But, um, we, we're picking ourselves up, MP.

That's what we're trying to do here with the distraction of major golf.

Yes.

Uh, that is an amazing stat.

Nick Faldo and Tony Jacklin, the only Englishmen to win The Open since 1966.

That is amazing.

And, um, I...

Listen, put it this way, an Englishman's gonna win the, uh, the, The Open before England win the World Cup again.

I'm pretty sure of that.

I, I, I, I have come to, I have come to a place of calm in my life, Marcus, where...

It's, it's very funny, and I'm sure people say this to you all the time.

They go, "How do you do this job when you're obviously, you know...

When, when obviously you're a football fan, or you're doing the rugby or the cricket or whatever?" I go, "Y- y-..." Well, there are two answers to that.

One, you have to.
