I think Senegal just really...

In my view, they did something almost unprecedented and that just makes you look foolish and that is exceptionally risky.

I don't know if it's African football in general.

Yeah, but it's not Senegal's responsibility to worry about that.

I know that that's how people think.

I don't think that's how people should think.

That's what Raghi said after the game.

And I think he's completely right.

Yeah, I think, I don't know.

I think I can understand he's upset, but I think it's a bit of a kind of a trite cliche.

I think we should move beyond that.

it's a bad look for Senegal and for Popchal.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And I would assume, too, Popchal was probably maybe in contact with somebody from the federation or something who said take them off or whatever.

Does he ever roll with the team or is he just like a super fan?

like members like team staff members seem to have or federations or something else so maybe yeah maybe i don't know if i'd go for i'll have you for it for for life advice no unless unless he's in contact yeah no of course the guy's taking like 10 the sportsman there has to be an investigation uh there has to be sadio mani i would assume you know he stayed out there he understood the situation

The bottom line is, after a certain amount of time, and we don't know what it is.

It's not in the laws of the game.

Different tournaments have their own directives.

But if you take the players off the pitch, you forfeit the game.
