He did great in CL final. Just now, Ackter said: Seriously, with how bizarre this tournament has been, literally anything could happen in England vs France. Mbappe crashes into Walker and merges into one super player who declares for Wales on my bingo card. Exactly my thoughts. This drama is way too scary that maybe even England can win it all.

Like, my father just asked me why they changed from Holland to the Netherlands, but he's a 76 year old man who doesn't really pay attention to these things. It's Known's job to actually know the names of the teams he's commentating on. He ought to spend a bit of time educating himself on why it's different to what he thinks it is.
