You're at your most vulnerable when you score because your mind wanders.

And they're starting to affect that now.

You know, usually in games when you show up, right, the first 10 minutes is a little bit of shadow boxing, trying to figure out who's playing where, what's he doing.

And then somebody seizes control of the game.

And then you get into the ascendancy.

And you work hard for that.

You know, you've decided to be brave, get on the ball.

You're implementing your game plan.

And you've got the opposition now on the back foot.

And you're building.

Momentum is building.

Pressure is building.

You're sensing a goal is coming.

Bang.

25 minutes.

Carlo Ancelotti got them in yeah and they you know steadied it right up down but like Morocco were just coming and coming and coming and coming and that's it and it was a killer for them yeah but I almost guarantee you Joe that next October there'll be some mundane FIFA press conference to announce something that nobody's ever going to go to and I promise you Infantino will sit in front of the cameras and say we got that wrong we'd like to apologise for that that won't happen again

But we know it's wrong now.

But they've obviously sold their soul.

They've obviously sold the very fabric of the game because of TV, because their hand has been forced.

And that's wrong.
