Gab Marcotti

He's one of the few footballers I would consider a friend.

He would be the first to tell you.

He might be special for mentality and intelligence and whatever.

he's not he was not a physical monster he was not a technical monster he was a kid who was given an opportunity in in italy and and he seized it and i think he'd be the first to say there might be a ton of other bad gummies out there who never got that opportunity and he started world cup final against germany yeah and and then played a huge role so i think there's a lot of learning opportunities i think there's going to be a lot of political stuff i just want to leave you with this um

head of the fa gravina and this is what i always hate everything becomes political right people said why don't you resign and not only did not resign he backed gattuso even as gattuso said stupid things about how like you know it's not fair we showed so much heart and again bosnia showed a lot more heart than you did uh they're the ones who battled down from a goal down by the way um he even made some references to the referee which i thought were completely out of line because you know even if

If Clemente Turpan had sent Moremovich off, I don't think that moves a needle.

That doesn't change the performance.

But the issue now is now they're talking about, and this is the wrong mentality for everybody out there.

They're saying people want the guy from the Italian Olympic Committee, since we had Winter Olympics.

Very successful, yeah.

Italy won a ton of medals.

And they're saying, well, maybe he's a sports administrator.

Maybe you should go to the FA.

And he's like, oh, well, shit, funny enough, we were successful.

And then Gravino says, no, those guys are amateurs.

This is nonsense.

All of the sports are amateurs.

Yeah.

All of this is nonsense, OK?

Do not compare the Winter Olympics.
