Hello and welcome to the Tifo Football podcast. I'm Joe Devine and I'm now joined by

JJ Bull the Bullard. Hey Joe. Hello there, JJ. How's it going? Pretty cool. You've got a

disco light. Tell the listeners all about that. I thought it'd be really cool to have a disco light.

For a podcast?

Yes.

Yeah.

You can hear the lights. Yeah. Are your eyes not sort of being blinded a little bit? It's not in my eyes. No? No, I put it in front of me. Okay, yeah. It's on the desk. I just want you to have that. If you, it's because there's the live stream version of this obviously.

Sure.

People are watching right now.

Yeah.

And then they can enjoy the light.

Can I say one of the reasons I'm finding it difficult to see the light is because there's another light here lighting up the room like a sunshine. And it's the legendary. The, uh, can't think of another adjective. It's Ian McIntosh. Probably safest not too good than some of the ones that have been used. Hello. Hi. How are you? I'm really good, thank you. Good.

Oh, he's in the Call of Duty War Zone, Gula. Yeah. Sure. Is there another kind? Well, that's where he is. And we're hoping his movement's good, and he's given a good weapon. Yeah. As long as it's not dual pistols, you never know what they're doing. And no one throws a stone at him from the overhang. Well, I hope not. I think he'd be able to dodge it. And I fully expect to see him land with a parachute back here

pretty soon. Well, fingers crossed. Hopefully we'll see Seb again soon. But in the meantime,

we do have someone who's probably much, much better in Ian. Thank you for joining us.

Expectations set an entirely realistic level. Very, very high, must be met. Right,

we're going to talk today about Spain versus Isiddy, which was of course finalised on penalties.

It was difficult to separate the teams, wasn't it? But we'll come to talk about that,

because if you find it difficult to separate things, maybe ideas in your mind, you should read

The Athletic, because the Athletic

is full of extremely educational content, and it will help you separate out those strands of

thoughts that you're having and organize them into a fantastic filing cabinet of football knowledge.

So if you visit Theathletic.com forward slash TIFO, you'll find that for the time being, I think for the
