but I can't follow anyone who talks that fast! Those guys make my head spin, and I can follow most people.

I was a bit surprised at the Saudis. Their defense is spectacular, and if too many expect to get past it, well, they might want to think again. It was a bit scary. Iran surprised me a little too, but because I had to work today, I couldn't see the rest of that game. They were leading when I went to bed.
