If you want to know a bit more about the teams and putting it into perspective,
and this was something that producer grace brought to our attention yesterday.
Someone has gone online and explain them if they were pop stars, the football nations.
France is like Taylor Swift.
It's the boring answer.
They're probably going to win.
The numbers are there.
They don't lie.
They've got the best squad.
They're probably going to win.
But it's a bit boring if you say that.
Spain is Sabrina Carpenter.
A bit newer on the block, but still very successful.
They've got the current momentum, very modern.
They're a bit more fun and likable, but still at the top of the game and they might well win.
Brazil is like Madonna, the absolute goats of the game, but right now they're flopping.
Madonna's the queen of pop, Brazil's the queen of football, but nobody really has them to win.
There's just something missing.
Portugal is like Fifth Harmony, the year that Camilla Coveo left.
They've got all the talent and all the fans.
They could win it, but there's just one member of the group who's making everyone feel uneasy.
Ronaldo.
I love Ronaldo, and I hope he wins, but the whole thing's just a bit too centred around him.
kind of takes away from the team.
Puts it all in perspective, doesn't it?
Yeah.
They have really good analogies, though, there.
You could do it with politicians in New Zealand.
Yeah.
Winston, the Keith Richards of Parliament.
How's he still around?
Luxon, the cold play.
Only appeals to white people.
Seymour, the Kanye.
Dear God, what's he going to say next?
