Hi, I'm Grant Wall, and welcome to the Planet Football Podcast World Cup Daily.

Happy 4th of July to everyone.

It's an off day for the World Cup, but not an off day for us.

Brian Strauss and I will talk about our thoughts on the tournament as part of

our podcast coming to you daily from Russia through July 16th. Just a small request, it would be a huge

help if you subscribe, rate and review our podcast it helps people find us in this

episode I'm also joined by JP de la camera of Fox Sports onward

let's bring in Brian Strauss not for once from his Moscow lair but from my layer. We're in the same place Brian.

It's been a while since we've done this where we could look at each other.

That's're handsome.

All right!

We've been on the road for a while.

It's a different hotel room than the one I had the last time you were here.

My previous one got flooded when the rain came down about four days ago.

For this room to get flooded, the ceilings in this room are so high

that it would take, it would take like the biblical rainstorm to flood this room so I think we're I think we're safe.

I feel like I'm in a museum wing. I am staying in by far the nicest hotel I've ever stayed in at a World Cup

but because my room got flooded they gave me a much nicer room for the last week.

So for those few out there who are listening, if you want a tip to get an upgrade next time you're...

Flood your room.

Yeah, just arrange for a weather event.

So it's July 4th, happy 4th of July.
