And you look at this game.
Every loose ball was Spain's.
Every possible switch off with the off-ball movement, they didn't know how to pick it up.
And there weren't really a lot of players who seemed to know how to grab a game and try to wrestle it back into their control.
It just looked like they were really compliant and wanted Spain to be able to have their sort of bounce back after their opener.
They built into the game, right?
And they looked a little bit rattled by that first goal by New Zealand.
I mean, who needs to build a meat wall when every man in the wall is meat himself?
And, you know, it's something that I almost wonder why New Zealand doesn't lean into more.
They have players who can do a long throw like Michael Boxall, who does this in MLS with Minnesota United all the time with precision.
And they just, they were so...
late to be able to try to throw in and create some more of those chances and they gave Egypt time to get back into the game find their way through especially most laws they had been as they did against Belgium as well try to get it immediately up to that right channel and then cut inwards and either he takes a shot or tries to pass it to Marmouch and they
get it intercepted, but certainly fought a lot better in this game, I thought.
It seems like a lot of players are just rolling on the floor and the rest are just ignoring them.
So long as it's consistent, right?
And maybe part of it is there are a lot of players are now more used to VAR.
And so they understand like, OK, if I fall like this, if I fall at this timeline, it's more likely to be called off.
Right.
And so I think that there's a there's almost a counter savviness necessary to say, like, I don't buy that or I don't think that that was enough to justify making a call on a game of this magnitude.
Um, and was trying to run back and you could just see him head to the heavens, looking up, trying to be like, ah, this is so far.
