That's not the only footballing tournament that's making news this week, James, because I don't know if you are across a lot of the geopolitical events of the world.
But one of them particularly, which we don't need to delve into, what we will, I guess, address is the fact that the Asian Cup might be in jeopardy, at least coming up in January.
As we record this, there seems to be no sort of announcement claiming that they're going to delay it or whether they shift it to an entire different country.
Yeah, it'd be fun to be able to just put our hands up and host it, but I can't see that happening.
But from a footballing perspective, what that does mean is that if it is moved, there's the chance that it is moved later in 2027, maybe even a shift to 2028, which would give us, I guess, two-year cycles between the Asian Cup and the World Cup.
It would be great to see maybe there being a bit more distance between the two tournaments.
But at the same time, I kind of like that in Australia, at least, we have the World Cup.
Hopefully, we're continuing to get better at the World Cup and achieve greater things, get closer to making a World Cup final appearance.
