I join colleagues in wishing our soccer team all the best for tonight. It would be remiss of us not to congratulate our friends north of the Border on their magnificent achievement in qualifying for the last 16. We wish them well. It would be fantastic to have two teams in the quarter-finals. Hopefully, we will have two this time tomorrow. We look forward to the day when only one team represents the island. The quicker that comes, the better.
