You're listening to the FootGlish podcast. Love
football, learn English. So, the Czech Republic
versus Ireland in the World Cup play -offs semi
-final. Is that a dream draw or a total nightmare?
Did Troy Parrott's last -minute winner against
Hungary actually change Ireland's destiny? And
be honest, was Hungary's defeat a bit of football
karma coming back to bite them? And what on earth
happened between the Czech Ultras and the players
with Socek and Sofal front and center? Hello
everyone, welcome back to the Footgrish podcast.
My name is Denec Lucas, I'm an English teacher
and I do this podcast for all English learners
around the world who love football. And today
I have a guest from Ireland and you might be
wondering why? Why have you invited a guest from
Ireland? Well, the reason is this is as follows,
because you see... A few hours ago, the Czech
Republic national team drew Ireland in the World
Cup qualifier playoffs. And I think there was
a fantastic story of the Irish national team,
this qualification group. So I think it's actually
a great opportunity to talk to an Irish fan here.
Welcome to the podcast, Carl. Welcome back. Thanks
very much, Danny. Great to be back under such
great circumstances again, being back, you know.
I think actually you will be prouder of your
team than me. But we can discuss that here. It's
like a reaction, like a sort of draw reaction
or preview of our match, which is in March next
year. So we're super prepared. It's like four
months time or was it? even longer than that
something like that five months time maybe yeah
yeah right so how on earth did you pull that
off because from what i heard i wasn't really
following your group much until this started
happening yeah so then everybody knew and we
will talk about your new national hero parrot
you know the the guy that scored five goals to
to make this happen for you but At first, you
were not doing very well in your group, were
you? No, not at all, in fact. And we actually
ended up losing to Armenia. So the team that
ended up bottom of the group after everything
was said and done, we actually lost to them away
from home. So it's just one of those things where
every result had to go right for us in the last
three games. And somehow... It did. And I tell
you now, the mood around the Irish football team
has just completely turned on a sixpence, as
they might say, completely flipped 180 degrees
in the last week and a half because it went from
total doom and gloom. You know, this is the worst
Irish team we've ever seen. This is just like
a calamity. They obviously, a lot of the media
were making fun of the fact that... The national
manager, Heimer Hallgrímsson, is a practicing
dentist in Iceland. He's the same coach that
coached the Iceland team that beat England in
the Euros a couple of years back. Then he went
and took over the Jamaican national team and
then subsequently took over our national team
after that. He's got a good track record. You
take me back. So you said the first three games,
after three games, you had like how many points?
Was it like two points or something like that?
So we had lost away to Armenia. We had drawn
at home to Hungary. And then we had lost in the
last minute to Portugal away. So we needed to...
Two points after three games. So it looks like
it really... One point. Yeah. So then we had
to win three games. You lost to Armenia, right?
You lost to Armenia, lost to Portugal, only one
point against Hungary. So basically, it looked
really desperate after three games with one point.
You're bottom of the league, probably. Yeah,
completely. We were Halgrimson out. Everybody
wanted the dentist to go back to Iceland and,
you know, leave the national job. He was on the
chopping block for that. And yes, just somehow,
I think a mixture of desperation and courage,
let's say, has managed to get us through. Not
even for the World Cup, to the playoffs, you
know. Right, right. You didn't win the group,
but Portugal topped the league. But you finished
second, which was good enough for you to get
into that playoffs draw. Exactly. So you had
to beat, you had to, as you said, three result
had to go your way. So you had to get nine points.
Yeah. And if you got one point less or two points
less, it wouldn't have happened. Would not have
happened. Yeah. It would have been hungry going
to the playoffs and Dominic Shabazlai and his
team would have been knocking on your door instead
of me. Okay. But, but I think, Firstly, that
was a remarkable victory over Portugal of all
teams. Portugal, as we know, is one of the best
teams in the world. They also have Cristiano
Ronaldo, but Ronaldo actually got his first ever
red card for the national team against Ireland.
And it was part of the reason you managed to
beat Portugal 2 -0. Am I right? Well, I wouldn't
say that was the reason because we were already
2 -0 up by the time Ronaldo got his red card.
So we went up very early on. And, you know, a
lot of people might look at that scoreline and
think, oh, well, Portugal must have played, you
know, their B team or, you know, put out a lot
of youngsters. But no, all the big hitters were
there. You know, you had Vitinha, João Neves,
as you said, Cristiano Ronaldo was there, Bernardo
Silva. All the kind of unusual names that you
think of when it comes to Portuguese football
were there, but went ahead through a set piece
in the 16th minute and then Troy Parrott doubled
his account. Troy Parrott. Everybody in Ireland
knows this guy now, right? He scored a brace
in this game. Two goals. Yes. Yeah. So it was
emphatic. He was a hero in that game. And if
that was not enough, he scored a hat -trick in
the following game against Hungary away. And
Hungary only needed one point in that game. And
I think, were they in control most of the game
or was it a bit nervy for them? I have to say,
we kind of, watching it live, we came out a lot
more timid than I thought we would. I mean, we
were still playing positively, but Hungary are
the type of team where they have the players
to be able to kind of hold the ball for longer
spells than we would. especially with the way
that Ireland set up. We set up a lot more on
the counter -attack with our kind of wide wing
backs as well, providing that too. But yeah,
it was just kind of, it was such a strange game
because there was penalty shouts. There was all
sorts of pushing and shoving an awful lot of
the time. A lot of time wasting was going on.
So it was kind of... A couple of times I kind
of found myself laughing at the commentary team
who were almost like saying, you know, this is,
wow, Hungary are really wasting a lot of time
here. I wonder how much the referee is going
to add on at the end of the match. And it turned
out to be just enough time for us. It was six
minutes. They added on six minutes. The result
was 2 -2 for a long time. Again, Troy Parrott
scoring two goals. Again, a brace. But that wasn't
enough for Ireland. You needed one more goal.
And the clock was ticking. Yeah, they literally,
so the Hungarians cleared the ball on the 95th
minute and you could see up in the top, it says
plus five, 501, 502 and it gets cleared away
to the halfway line and everyone in the house
and I'm sure everyone across the country is going,
oh no, that's it, it's all gone. And then all
of a sudden, the referee just lets us play on.
And Kevin Callagher just pings this ball perfectly
into the box, scales, gets the nod on, which
is just as important, I think. You know, if he
doesn't win that header, we don't have a chance.
But he gets it on, gets it onwards towards the
goal. And the man himself, the man of the moment,
Troy Parrish, just touched it in ahead of the
keeper. There was a lot to do for him. I saw
that goal. Of course, at the clip, I think everybody
has seen that. And that was just such a goal
of courage and will. He really wanted to make
that happen. He had to stretch his leg so, so
bloody far. And I think he hit the ball with
his sole of his foot. And it was just enough,
like a small flick. But just to stretch, it was
like yoga stretch or something. And it went in.
And then the commentators, they were wondering,
could that be an offside? But of course it wasn't.
And I think everybody was ecstatic at that point.
The Irish players, they just couldn't believe
what had just happened. Troy Parrott took off
his shirt, right? Started running around like
a crazy person, celebrating his last clutch.
This amazing goal that meant history for Ireland
and all the fans, super happy. And I think you
could see the desperation in Hungarian players'
faces, right? Oh yeah, definitely. And especially,
I think it was quite funny that... both matches
the portugal match and the hungarian match both
of the star players for both teams were doing
the kind of cry baby uh just towards irish players
irish fans and they ended up then getting the
reverse treatment why would you ever do that
against a team that also like believes in god
so much and such a religious team it's like so
much blasphemy for hungary to get involved in.
And I saw Dominic Soboslai did that as well.
I'm sorry. It's just karma. Like, why would you
ever do anything like that? Just have respect
for your opponents. Have just some sort of, at
least like a minimal respect or I don't know
how to put it, but like elementary respect for
your opponents. You may not like them, right?
You may not, you, you, you may hate your opponent,
but at least like you're playing football, right?
Anything can happen. don't when you score just
enjoy the moment don't don't go laughing in in
the face of your opponent when that happens i
absolutely hate this this sort of thing because
it always backfires yeah yeah absolutely no it
was it was certainly kind of quite funny to see
and especially when i saw shabazlai do it i said
oh i remember somebody else who did that a couple
of days ago and i was turning to my brother my
brother was like shut up the games the game's
not gonna go that way no there's no chance so
now now this happened and and of course um i
can tell you a little bit about about the czech
national team's journey i'm afraid it's not as
exciting as yours and it's not really as interesting
Basically, we ended up in that larger group of
five teams. I don't think there were that many
of those. I think mostly the groups had just
four teams, but we had five. And so we had Croatia
there, who were the main favorite, and rightly
so. They gave us no chance in Croatia. We lost
5 -1 to them. And that set the tone for the rest
of the qualification. Because even if we had...
There was a moment when we were about to play
them at home. And even if we had won that game,
they had a better goal difference at that point.
So it wouldn't have mattered much. But we drew
that game 0 -0. But something even more incredible
happened after that result. We lost to Faroe
Islands. 2 -0 away from home. But Faroe Islands,
of all teams. So the mood in the national team
wasn't very good. After that, the coach was fired.
Wow, okay. Yeah, the coach was fired. We still
were in a comfortable position to finish second.
So, because we managed to beat Montenegro twice.
And then the other teams... How many did I say
there were? Yeah, Faroe Islands and Gibraltar.
Gibraltar was the other one. Yeah, you beat Gibraltar
5 -6 -0, didn't you? That was the last. Yeah,
but that was this latest qualification. It was
this latest international break, right? So we
had two games to play with the new interim manager
or bridge manager, Jaroslav Kessel. And the first
game was a friendly. Of all teams, we decided
to invite San Marino. We played against San Marino
at home. So I don't know, first of all, whose
idea it was to play against a team like that.
This is one of the, obviously, the strongest
teams you can face in Europe. And we somehow
scraped a 1 -0 victory over them. Wow. And we
only had one shot on goal. And that's despite
having a penalty because Socek blasted it wide.
Oh my gosh. We had a penalty, which wasn't really
a penalty. And then Socek scored the only goal.
And then we had a lot of chances, but AO went.
Nobody was hitting the target. So, like, we were
the better team, you could say. But, like, 1
-0 against San Marino, oh, my God. Such, we were
in such terrible mood. Like, the whole nation,
like, very skeptical. We can be a little bit
like that, the Czechs. Like, we are not really
super patriotic. We are only patriotic when the
team is doing okay. But when... When we are in
trouble, everybody starts blaming everyone and
a little bit like that. So the mood in the team
was very bad. And we have like this, we don't
have that many fans, to be honest. We are a small
country and also people like the club football
at the moment more than the national team. But
there is a group of fans, they call themselves
the fanaticos or something like that. It's like
the ultras. Ultras, yeah, yeah. And they were
not really happy about this because we also,
a few months before that, we also drew against
Saudi Arabia at home. Then we lost to Faroe Islands
and we only beat San Marino 1 -0. So I think
the fans are starting to get a bit pissed off.
And on social media, they organized some sort
of, they prepared some sort of mini protest that
they would shout in the following game, which
was against Gibraltar. They would shout a chant.
seeing something like fight for fight for Czechia
fight for Czechia which sounds like nothing too
bad right but it's just like it implies like
you should try harder try harder but it's maybe
a little bit provocative but not that much in
my opinion it's not it's not like I I don't know
it's They did that in that game against Gibraltar,
which we started... It seemed to work anyway.
They won 6 -0. Yeah, we scored in the second
minute, the first goal. So we started off really
well and kept scoring goals. Even Sofal scored
a goal. And a few times they chanted that. Fight
for Czechia. And then after the game, the players
decided not to go. They thanked the stands like
everywhere else, but they didn't go to the ultras.
And the reason for that was that they got offended
by the chant fight for Czechia, apparently. And
then they were like not happy at all. It was
like confusion. The commentators didn't know
what was going on. And then after a few minutes,
so Czech and so FAL. went to the stand to explain
why they didn't go, because the fans were really
pissed off, those ones, the Ultras. If we say
Ultras, this was just a group of, I don't know,
100 fans or 200 fans, but it's still, still,
right? And they said something along the lines,
like they had a microphone, they were shouting
at each other, the players and the fans. And
Socek got the microphone and he said, We just
want more unity. We want to be together. We need
you. But we also didn't come to thank you today.
It was just such a... And the players, they got
so much stick for that from the media, from everyone,
from the fans. Wow. So much heavy criticism was
levied on them. And Socek, as a result of this,
was also stripped of captaincy. I don't know
if it's for one game only. I'm not sure. Forever,
I don't know, but it was just such, it had a
real impact. Can you imagine, right? So instead
of celebrating a decent win, 6 -0 win, and securing
the second spot in the group, there's so much
negativity. The journalists were talking about
that incident more than the game, obviously.
And Socek is also such a nice guy, right? So
there's a lot of speculation. Was this even his
idea? Okay. Did they just plant him there? Did
they say, hey, somebody needs to say something?
Was he speaking for the players? What about Sofal?
Sofal, he was crazy there. He was like, somebody
was shouting things like, you dig head and things
like that. Fans would do that, but he shouted
back at them as well, like something similar.
And it was all caught on camera as well, right?
Okay. So, absolute mad scenes. Yeah? Yeah. The
players didn't get the bonus as well. So there
was a decision. Because Pavel Nedved is now the...
Director of the national team, isn't he? Or is
he the... Spokesperson? I don't know exactly
the role. I can't remember the role. But he's
got some sort of a role like that. Sports director,
maybe? He's not the chairman, obviously. A general
manager. General manager, right? So he sort of
speaks for the team like that in the press conference.
And they're all saying, we didn't know about
this. Nobody knew about this. It was the player's
decision, right? Even the coach didn't know about
it. I don't understand how coach couldn't know
about it. Shouldn't coach go with the team to
thank the fans? I always thought that after the
game, it's not just the players, it's the coach
too. So how can coach not know about it? I don't
get it. Basically, it was Socek's responsibility.
He went there. Even if it wasn't his idea, he
went there. And so I think it's the right decision
to do that to him. You think it's the right decision
to take the captaincy away from him? Yeah, because
it was such a disaster, such a sort of PR disaster.
Right before a playoff. It wasn't the first one
as well. We have had so many strange moments
in the game. against Faroe Islands. There was
another player, Václav Černý, in an interview.
He walked away from the interview because they
asked him a question he didn't want to hear.
Too much arrogance, basically, from players who
have been playing shit. Yeah? So... It's a real
mess. And now there was this draw. So at least
we secured... We had to beat San Marino and Gibraltar.
By the way, we had to beat even San Marino. to
make this happen, to keep that pot two. Pot two
was important for us because pot two meant we
would play the first game at home. But we had
to beat San Marino. We beat them 1 -0. And then
Gibraltar. We had to beat Gibraltar. So we did
it. And those are like two worst teams in Europe.
Like if you look at the ranking, there are no
worse teams than those two, basically. They're
pretty low. And to be honest, Actually, Gibraltar
were way worse than San Marino. San Marino were
very, very... They kept running the whole game.
They didn't give up. They just defended really
well. Gibraltar was an easier opponent. Okay,
okay. So how do you feel going then into the
playoffs then from your perspective? Because
to me anyway, obviously being able to play at
home is a massive advantage. But with all the
stuff that you've just explained there... Will
it actually be an advantage for you guys to be
at home and playing in front of those fans again?
I think it has to be. It has to be because there
is a massive difference if we had to play in
Ireland with your crowd going crazy. It would
be the same like playing in Scotland or any other
team. To be honest, there was a good chance we
could go to the Balkans. So we could either get
you, Albania, Kosovo. Yeah, there was a couple
of them that were in the kind of scene. And one
more. Bosnia. Bosnia, yeah. So we were happy.
It's better. Okay, 20 ,000 stadium is not much.
The biggest stadiums are the Sparta or Slavia
stadium. I think it will be one of those. But
it will be mostly Czech fans there, right? Supporting
the Czech team. So it's a huge advantage. And
if that wasn't enough, we also drew... The second
game would be a home game for us too. That was
50 -50. So if we beat you somehow, then the next
game would be against either Macedonia or Denmark
at home. And yes, I know Denmark is a good team,
not to underestimate Macedonia, but I think the
draw is actually favorable for the Czech team
because there was a chance to get Italy or Turkey.
or ukraine or poland i think so this is actually
not too bad now i want to ask you how you feel
about this then because i don't know if you wanted
czech republic or would you have taken someone
else instead or oh look i think that you know
as soon as the result and the kind of dust settled
from the from the Hungarian game, a lot of people
started looking at all the different permutations
and results that needed to go our way if we wanted
to have a home draw for the semi -final of the
playoffs. And that was just kind of like, I think,
more hope than anything else. I don't think we
were really rooting or expecting to be at home
for the semi -final. So I think the players would
be fairly prepared for that going in there. In
terms of our chances, look, at this stage with
this team, I don't really know what to expect.
They could come out and they could put on another
fantastic display. They could come out and they
can get absolutely annihilated. It's in March
as well, so it's so far away. Yeah, it's far
away, right? A lot can happen. Injuries, four
players formed. But you have that momentum, and
now this is like a historic moment, right? Everybody
was talking about it. The whole world knew what
happened there. It's such a great story for you.
And Paris scoring five goals, like the most famous
bird in years. Yeah, well, that's the thing that's
going around. The slogan, I guess, that's going
around is that we sent a turkey to the Eurovision.
Now we're sending a Paris to the World Cup. back
in the days when we sent oh my god Ireland sent
like a a puppet turkey character to the Eurovision
one year for whatever reason but no I think that
you know the big thing for me is obviously as
you say form and injuries the big question would
be what happens when if Evan Ferguson is fit
by the time March rolls around Does the manager
stick with Parrott up top? Does he try and change
things and put Ferguson and Parrott up there?
Parrott has to play. Literally, he single -handedly
made this happen for you. All five goals. He
was second fiddle to Ferguson the last while
anyway, but now that you've seen he's gotten
his chance, he's really taking it with both hands.
Which is great to see from an Irish fan's perspective,
you know, a young guy, 23 years old. There's
the possibility for, you know, building a team
around him because, you know, for the longest
time, the last couple of years, everybody kind
of was down to the dumps about this team. And,
you know, our best player we always thought was
Queevin Keller, our goalkeeper. He still might
be. I mean, he's a fantastic goalkeeper. But
yeah, it's good to have an outfield player now,
at least, that we can kind of build around to
be the centerpiece of the team. Well, Arti, we
don't even have a coach now. So we have an interim
coach. And it's someone. He's like an up -and
-coming young manager. He's younger than me.
He's like 37 or 80 years old, maybe older than
you, probably, right? But you're like... In your
30s, right, as well? Just 30 now, yeah. Yeah,
nice. Welcome, welcome. So what's interesting
about this guy is that he had never been the
main coach before. So it's a real question whether
we should take such a huge risk. Yes, he's got
credit in the bank beating San Marino and...
Gibraltar. What fantastic credit to have. Is
that enough? He's got 100 % record after those
two games. You could say that. But we haven't
played a better team yet. He hasn't coached his
team against a better team. So that's the question.
There are suggestions of hiring Fatih Terim,
the Turkish manager who is now like... I don't
know, in his 70s or 80s. Very, very old. Super
old. Or Jürgen Klinsmann. A lot of experience,
I suppose. Yeah, well, he coached the American
national team before. But apparently, we don't
have money for those. They're too expensive for
us. These were Pavel Nedved's ideas. But now
we found out that they are asking for too much
money. So we're looking for a cheaper solution.
But cheaper isn't always better, right? I'll
do it. I'll do it. I'll do a temporary thing.
I'll do it until March, and there'll be absolutely
no ulterior motive whatsoever. Yeah, you're Irish.
I don't think that's a good idea. You go against
your own team. I think you would be like an agent,
secret agent there. Just not going to play. Not
going to play Suchek, not going to play Suphal,
Patrick Schick. We'll leave Patrick Schick at
home. Just leave them all, all the best players.
Might be a good idea because he was the worst
player against Gibraltar. He hit the post once
and missed all his chances and it was other players
scoring, not him. Yeah, so we are both looking
forward to this game, I suppose. We're still
friends. Until this game happens, I think, yeah.
We'll have the common, you know, the Arsenal
thing to bond over and keep close over, you know,
in the meantime. But then as soon as March rolls
around Zdeněk, I don't want to see your face
for like a month. I think, well, whoever loses
their game, I think one of us, that person wouldn't
want to see the other. I think the winner of
that game wouldn't mind. whoever loses that.
So that's why I think we can agree not to see
each other until maybe Arsenal wins the title.
Then we can have another podcast to celebrate
Arsenal's title victory. That would be okay,
I guess. Touch wood. Nice one, Kyle. Thanks very
much for featuring on the FootGlish podcast and
have a good one, man. Always a pleasure. Thanks
a million, Zdenek. Take care. Welcome back to
the Language Corner. As always, in this part
of the show, I'm going to take a look at the
English language because I assume you guys know
that this is an English learning podcast. So
not only do we talk about football here and you
have the opportunity to listen to the interview
with my guest, but... Importantly, we also explain
here some vocabulary, grammar, pronunciation.
Usually it's vocabulary. And today I would like
to take a look at some phrasal verbs that were
said by us in the interview. Mostly it was Carl.
That's because he is from Ireland. He's a native
speaker. And native speakers notoriously use
a lot of phrasal verbs. And that's why we are
often puzzled and confused. And also, I have
to say, it is a challenge to learn phrasal verbs
because there are so many of them. They all look
very similar. They have multiple meanings. And
so they can be a bit of a nightmare. However,
I'm here to make everything easier for you because,
guys, I'm an English teacher in case you didn't
know it. I think you knew that. But let's get
started, shall we? I asked Carl, how on earth
did you pull that off? How did you manage to
finish second? So basically, I was referring
to Ireland's fantastic finish in their qualification
group. And to pull something off is a very nice
phrasal verb, which means to manage something,
to manage to do something, to achieve something,
right? So how did you... Managed to achieve that.
How on earth did you pull that off? P -U -L -L
and the particle is off. To pull something off.
Then Carl said, we didn't start well. We ended
up losing to Armenia. So if you end up doing
something, it is followed by another verb in
an I -N -G form. So we ended up losing to Armenia.
That's what happened to Ireland. And if you end
up doing something, it means you finally do something
or something finally happens, often unintentionally
or unexpectedly. So there is an element of a
surprise or there is a twist to the story, basically.
And it's a result of a series of actions or events.
In this case, it... The actions were like several
games, I guess, or the match itself, right? And
maybe they played all right in that game, but
then they ended up losing. So there's like a
contrast twist to the story. Right. A lot of
people thought Portugal team must have played
their B team or put out a lot of youngsters.
So basically... That was how everyone was surprised
about Ireland's win over Portugal. But actually,
they played their best team with Ronaldo up front.
And so Carl said a lot of people thought that
Portugal must have played their B team or put
out a lot of youngsters. So if you put out a
lot of players who are young, youngsters, the
verb to put out can have a lot of different meanings.
But here it means... to sort of deploy, to like
distribute, like how to explain it. Basically,
this is the lineup you put out, right? If you
are the manager of the Irish team, the Ireland
national team, the Irish team, then you basically
put out these players. You deploy these players,
right? Does it make sense? I hope so. we set
up a lot more for counterattacks against Portugal.
That's another sort of phrase or verb that Carl
used. If you set up in a certain way, it means
that you establish some sort of system that you...
come up with some kind of strategy. That's what
it means here. You can set up a company as well,
organization. You can set up a system, set up
a way of working, way of thinking, right? So
it's something formal usually that has some kind
of structure. Right. I don't really know what
to expect. They could come out and put on another
great performance. They could come out and get
annihilated. So I think this was when I asked
Carl what he thinks about the game against Czechia,
which will happen in March next year, and what
he expects to happen in that game. And he said
they could come out and put on another great
performance. So if you come out, you sort of
appear, right? You begin performing, you come
out, you begin performing, you begin... playing,
you appear, right? You come out and put on another
great performance. This is used together, put
on a performance. If you put on a performance,
you present or produce a performance, right?
That's clear. I think these phrasal verbs are
self -explanatory, some of them anyway. Then
Carl said, that's the slogan. There's a slogan
that's going around. We send a turkey to Eurovision,
which is some kind of puppet. of a turkey, the
bird, right? Which is like a joke, I guess. And
now we are sending a parrot to the World Cup,
right? So basically the Irish have a good sense
of humor. But when there is a slogan going around,
right? That means it's circulating. It's doing
the rounds. It's sort of widespread. It's popular.
People are talking about it. In this case, maybe
it was in the media. People were spreading this
sort of joke or whatever. Right. Next. The big
question is what happens if Ferguson, the Irish
striker Ferguson, is fit by the time March rolls
around? I noticed Carl used this phrasal verb
to roll around twice in this interview. And it
basically means... comes when march comes as
you can see it's often used with certain time
expressions like in this case the month month
march when the mars comes around or rolls around
or comes in this case Okay, guys, I think that's
it for today. I know it was a bit longer. I hope
you enjoyed it. Please let me know what you thought,
how you enjoyed it or not. You know, we are ready
to accept critical comments as well because it's
part of this business. It's not really a business
for me. I do this just for fun. But you never
know. One day it could become super popular.
