Hello and welcome to the TIFO football podcast. I'm Joe Devine, and I'm delighted to be joined by Seb Halford's floor. Hi, Seb. Hi, though, Joe Devine. How are you doing? I'm doing great. Yeah, also... Yeah, okay. I'm deflated, actually. Meh. Yeah. Yeah. Also, here is John McKenzie. Hello. How are you? I am flated. You are flated.

Yeah, I'm a little flated.

I had a baked potato earlier. But also, here, much better than a baked potato is Kiva O'Neill. Hi, Kiva. Thanks. How are you? Much better than a big potato, finally. Are you happy about that? Yeah, quite my new Twitter bio feels. Bake potatoes are very good. Three of us had baked potatoes for dinner.

We all like baked potatoes. We're all going to want to leave this room desperately.

Oh, that's? It feels. Bake potatoes are very good. Three of us had baked potatoes for dinner, so we all like baked potatoes. We're all going to want to leave this room desperately. I'm holding on. The podcast. Anyway, fine. Well, listen, lots on the docket to discuss today. England are out. France go through Portugal, Morocco, Morocco. Story of the day. That's the one. That's the story. We should start

with that. We'll start with England and we'll come back to Portugal, Morocco. But that's very, very,

very exciting. And also, we've got points of bad a little bit later too. But have you had a fun day

generally there, Kiva? Yeah, I think the Morocco game is probably now the highlight.

I went out into Trafalgar Square as well and met a few of their fans and they were just

absolutely overjoyed.

So that was nice.

Did you see Seb there?

I think I'm like on about 45 minutes too early.

I got there and it was a kind of mix of tourist Christmas shopping.

No, I was kind of, I got in sort of the Charing Cross side and it was just, it was, there was no theme to it. I was kind of imagining wild street parties with the Moroccan flags and I just turned around and walk back to the office. Yeah. I should have stayed. Were there lots of people there when you got there? Yeah. Were there? see my Twitter, loads of videos and it was good fun, very nice mood.

Well, if you like good fun and a very nice mood, then you should visit The Athletic.

Do you know, I never open the app and don't have a very nice mood, huh? Huh? Yeah. What have you read recently,

Sam? Well, the best thing I think I've read is, is Alex Habnos and Jay Harris read a piece about all the

Moroccan fans who were celebrating around the world after the quarterfinal. Right. So what I did is,

I kind of read it again and multiplied everything by about four to imagine what's now happening. Yeah. Because Moroccan fans are everywhere. They're kind of celebrating all over the world. It's fantastic. And yeah, the guys do a great job of describing those scenes. I have some half Moroccan, half French family. Quite excited for them to be conflicted. Okay. Okay. That is quite conflicting.
