Mark the Week: The World Cup's biggest loser

The Mike Hosking Breakfast - A podcast by Newstalk ZB

At the end of each week, Mike Hosking takes you through the big-ticket items and lets you know what he makes of it all.     The World Cup: 7/10  Because we watched in droves. It was the biggest TV audience of the year for anything, and we believed we were in with a chance.     Rugby: 3/10  The World Cup's biggest loser. They are killing the game with rules and zealous officialdom.     Mike Pence: 4/10  Another one bites the dust but the fact it’s an ex-Vice President tells you the effect Trump has had on his party.     Votes: 9/10  Because today is the day, at last.     The Electoral Commission: 5/10  I only have sympathy for them because, as we found out, it's the law. They are following the law.     Craft beer: 4/10  Fads are not a business and a lot of people going “Hey, I can do that” does not a bottom line make.     Supie: 4/10  The irony was the receiver told us how competitive the market was, and yet, the Government has told us it's not competitive enough. Which is it?     Hackney Diamonds: 8/10  Number one in the UK, Germany and Australia. Genius never gets old.    LISTEN ABOVE FOR MIKE HOSKING'S FULL WEEK IN REVIEW See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
