I mean, Spain had even done a guard of honour for the Argentina players, despite the fact that the Argentine players had started a brawl at full time.
So Spain had shown grace in victory.
But I've never really seen a situation where the world has been united, even when watching a team that possesses players like Messi and Alvarez.
But by the end, it really felt like no one wanted them to win.
I can't speak for Americans.
I watch the game in a press box, largely surrounded by British people.
But to be fair, no, I think even looking at the comments section on our website on The Athletic today, which is largely an American audience, I think people found...
the way they went about it pretty distasteful by the end.
And I think it was also... I think people are pretty reasonable in the sense that nobody expects everyone to play the same.
Football would be really boring if everyone played like Spain and everyone was as polite as Spain.
You need different styles, you need different approaches, you want channeled aggression, you want an edge.
But there was a point there where it just became...
it just became kind of gamesmanship.
And, you know, even Messi, you know, the point where he was trying to get Kukureya sent off.
It was like a toddler appealing to his teacher.
That's exactly what I wrote down.
Miss, Miss, Miss, like Leo's... Miss, Mark, Mark, he said something to me.
You need to come in and deal with him.
That was what it was like.
No, it was a different game.
