First Impressions of the World Cup2:21 – 3:17

2:21

Yeah, it doesn't really feel like a World Cup to me.

2:25

I don't know what it is.

2:25

Maybe it is the times because it's very early morning here for us in Korea.

2:30

But I am enjoying just the sort of The new stadiums I've not seen before.

2:36

You know, just...

2:38

Some of them look really nice.

2:40

Some of them look sort of interesting.

2:42

There's the one, I think, in Boston.

2:44

It's got like a conservatory behind both goals.

2:45

I don't really understand what that's all about.

2:48

But, yeah, it's...

2:51

It feels like it's been ongoing for weeks and weeks, but it's only...

2:56

on the first round of fixtures at time of recording.

Matthew BinnsHost

England seems like they'll never ever play.

Matthew BinnsHost

3:02

No.

3:03

Yeah, it feels like we should be heading towards like the second and third group stage games.

3:08

We haven't even been through the first round of the first group stage game.

3:13

So we've got a lot of football still to look forward to.
