Hello everyone and welcome to this week's edition of the Spanish Football Podcast.

I'm Phil Kittreleadies in Madrid.

I'm joined by Sidlo in Qatar.

Hello Sidney.

Hello Philip, how are you?

I'm okay.

You're incredibly perky because you've already had 15 cups of tea today and it's only midday.

The media center here has big urns of hot water and tea bags and so yes I'm drinking very, very, very large amounts of tea.

I did bring some of my own tea bags but I'm not even leaving them, it's amazing.

They've got old grey there haven't they?

No they haven't, I'm drinking normal tea but I've got some old grey so what I've been doing

is bringing like a couple of old grey with me to the media center, savoring those two cups of tea

and just down in the other 15.

Yeah, good.

Just a real insight into the day-to-day life of a reporter out in the World Cup in Qatar.

And more interestingly, you were at the game last night weren't you?

The game, Spain won, Germany won, a really, really good game.

Certainly from a neutral perspective I saw anyway although I had a few friends

back in England who were messaging me what's happening, we go what, it's a bit boring.

I was going like really crazy, this is a fantastic game.

I'm what grounds do they think it was boring?

I'm quite interested in this as a starting point.
