A day for the

A day for the Arsenal boys as Martinelli stars and Shaka shows that maybe his superpower is just making people really, really angry.

This is the Arsenal Vision World Cup Daily.

My name is Elliot Smith, Blackman, Twitter, Yankee Gunner.

Another sensational day of World Cup football, a World Cup that has brought the drama.

It's just crazy because each day, like, oh, this is wild. There's so much happening. It's

all kicking off. It's all going on. And then the next day, it just does it again.

Now, whether or not it would be able to duplicate that in the round of 16 remains to be seen. But our final day of the group stages left us with plenty to enjoy. And I just want to say thanks for everyone who's been going on this journey with us. And I know that all of us are having a different World Cup experience, especially depending on the time of day, it's going on. Maybe you're able to see every minute of every game, dual screens, everything

up. Maybe you're glancing at it at work. Maybe you're waking up to find out the results.

But I hope that we've been able to at least keep you a little bit engaged with it. And I think we kind of have the right rapport going on, at least when I'm on the pod, not so much when Paul or Tim were on the pod,

because you get the knowledgeable,

in-depth explanation of what happened with Phil,

and then you get the bumbling idiot who watched out of the corner of his eye while doing seven different things pretending to have understood what happened in the games. Having said that, I did get a pretty good look at the games today, and I feel prepared to go toe-to-to-toe with Phil on his knowledge of the games. And here, to prove me wrong is Phil Phil Kosti. You can find him on Twitter at underscore Phil Kosta. Hello, Phelkosta. Hello, Elliot. What an intro. I feel like you're spoiling me here. You've really talked me up in the last few weeks, so that's going straight on the resume. Much like you can look taller by standing next to me. You can sound more intelligent by podcasting next to me. So these things are all

tied together. Speaking of standing, I am currently standing just to get my energy flowing, get my blood

flowing. I've been sitting too long. So we're, we've taken the starship to standing position.

We're ready to go. If anybody wants to be the standing desk sponsor of the Arsenal Vision World Cup

Daily, please feel free to get in touch.

I do want to say that over on the Patreon side, we'll have AVP clips. It's sort of our musings on individual issues. Paul's got one coming. Clive's got one coming. We haven't really been hearing from Clive a lot lately, so I'm sure he's got a lot of thoughts to get out. And I, for one, I'm excited to hear them.

So we'll have that coming up soon.

So let's do this.

Let's take it chronologically because it was all exciting. And the early games of the day were Group H. We had Portugal against South Korea and Ghana against Uruguay. And I think the, I don't want to say presumption, but I think the thought was that Ghana, Uruguay would wind up being the play-in game.

South Korea and Portugal, you know, might be interesting, but would not be.
