I don't know, like I said, you need to listen to the people who you pay to be your media and PR advisors, right?

No, because this is such a stupid, stupid thing to say.

First of all, it's not politicians who set prices for the World Cup.

It's the market.

It's dynamic pricing.

It's football people at FIFA who've decided that they're going to employ dynamic pricing.

It's as simple as that.

Secondly, everybody's entitled to their opinion.

Thirdly, he is speaking as somebody who I presume was a fan and will be a fan once he leaves.

And it's true that ticket prices are high.

And to come out and say...

Yeah, it's not his duty to evaluate it.

No, it's not his duty, but he chooses to have a position.

This whole stay in your lane, we talked about Pep Guardiola earlier in the show.

It is the polar opposite.

And honestly, you have one job.

Focus on the World Cup.

Don't say things that make you seem...

Like out of touch, disconnected.

And just like a bit of something that rhymes with stick, in my view.
