I'm Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hello and welcome to day 20 of the World Cup minute.

0:32.8

We made it through 20 of these, Brandon, 20 consecutive pods.

0:36.2

Not necessarily in consecutive days.

0:37.4

It was at the start.

0:38.6

And now we have a nice slow pace.

0:41.9

We can enjoy every game, every minute, if that's possible, 2 o'clock in the afternoon.

0:47.1

But tricky when you live in America.

0:50.1

But it was a really satisfying game today.

0:53.1

2:08.2
