And I think Scotland was much more guilty of that, certainly than Switzerland here.

Switzerland, of course, putting in the number of chances that they did have.

But...

I think even when you're looking at these teams that are theoretically at a talent deficit like Haiti and Qatar, they at least want to take the initiative.

There's absolutely no glory in just being cowardly in a tournament like this, right?

And so I think that these late games, if they let the 1-0, it's going to be open for anything.

Looks like a Dire Straits music video, doesn't it?

But I'm glad that Jack brought up that moment, right?

Because it was such an inflection point for the whole picture.

Good for the team.

I think that the players will rally behind that.

But yeah, I mean, Germany was very comfortably in control for large portions of their final friendly before against the United States.

And the United States would generally expect to be faring better than Curacao.

This sounds like a riddle.

Like, it sounds like you're trying to ask me, like, how many are there in the jar?

Like, it's, I just don't think that, I understand you want to get these calls right.

And I understand, speaking with Joe Dickerson, who is one of the VARs at this tournament, ahead of the tournament, he had said that the bar is very different when you're at a World Cup.

It is a right and wrong is what they're going for rather than clear and obvious in the same way.

And I respect that and I understand that, but I really don't think that that is necessarily what people viewing it, people playing it, participating in it are hoping gets litigated.

Because I think that that is the sort of thing, and I understand why the Premier League voted this down to not be part of its suite of VAR reviews.
