0:00.0	And Welcome to the big interview World Cup Q&A show, I'm Martin Gregg and with me today
0:26.8	our Graham Hunter host of the big interview and our guest for these shows,
0:30.4	Lalega TV's Pete Jensen. We have questions as always from our
0:34.0	social support this podcast at patreon.com forward slash game hunter. We want to
0:39.1	welcome a few new socials this month, Neil Dunworth, David Beavers and Ian Barry. This episode goes out to you guys. Thanks for signing up.
0:47.0	And our first questions are from two socials, first one, social Richard Cook. He says, thank you for all the wonderful content during
0:54.7	a fabulous World Cup. I wanted to know about the pressure messy and Argentina
0:58.8	squad collectively had to deal with. Losing that opening game, brackets, just like Spain in 2010 closed brackets,
1:05.7	and carrying that button through a good run of fixtures, do you think the fact that they could have been

1:34.9	Even in hindsight did you expect Argentina to bounce back and win it all?
1:38.9	And we'll just tie all this up with Farwaiz on Twitter who says did the tournament's eventual outcome seem inevitable at any point.
1:46.7	So Graham I want to start with you because I was watching the excellent BBC documentary How to win the World Cup yesterday.
1:54.7	There's a good 20 minutes which focuses on the rise of Spain culminating obviously
1:59.7	in 2010 World Cup win and it showed footage of that Switzerland game. I think the exact scene was
2:06.3	Listina plowing through Ine Esther in that game and it's funny because my mind did go back to that game when Argentina lost to Saudi Arabia.
2:16.0	Just, you know, obviously Argentina had had this fabulous unbeaten run and it did come into my mind.
