I have to ask you, who are your favorite to- That is an interesting question.
Obviously, I think Argentina.
Even though it's gonna be a very, very, very tough journey to get there, I still have faith that they're gonna push through and win the whole thing.
And I don't know, I'm super excited that it could be another, as you said earlier, it's gonna be a repeat of the final from last time.
I think so, too.
I think, I think at, at this point what I see is that Norway's gonna have a similar journey to the semifinals- and then they, they'll, they'll lose to Argentina, hopefully, and then we'll have France versus I think that game is gonna be insane.
Yeah.
It could be getting really chippy very quick- Oh, yeah because I know the history.
There's also professional respect.
Yeah.
I feel like there's, there's also a lot of respect because nobody's scared to play France at any stage.

It's a different team.
I think, like, four years ago, they were They weren't feeling themselves like the alpha of the tournament.
They were like, "We have to beat Argentina."
Argentina was in a, in a run in that World Cup.
Now they are the top dogs.
You can see it when they come to the pitch, the way they play, just the confidence of Dembele.
Of He was coming from a terrible period of his life with Barcelona and that World Cup.
Yeah.
But now it's a whole different story.
I think that's the thing about Dembele, is that- Yeah he was getting so much hate when he was at his other teams.
He was at Barcelona not getting any playing time, he wasn't starting.
Yeah.
And then once he actually started to, to play more, he ended up becoming the star of the team.
So I think that's the boost of morale that he needed, was to go to PSG, be the starting guy for them, and I, I don't know, I think that France is a scary team
