Well, I mean, in the Switzerland game, I can't remember who it was, it was an Algerian foul on a Swiss player.

Very, very similar.

Nobody even mentions it.

Portugal were very, very effective at stopping the game and making sure that Jared Gillett, who I have reservations about as a referee...

had time to to see it um so and it was oh it's a rugby tackle he hasn't really sort of got his hands on him he's not really pulling him down i i know if referee had given it fine it's a penalty but is it clear and obvious enough to go back and change it i don't know it's i think i think croatia have the right to think they got the rough end of a couple of our decisions there

I mean, that was by far the best performance.

I'd allowed myself to think that they weren't all that, but now I think that France-Spain semi-final we could have, that could be a team that could stop France, which I've been struggling to see.

So, encouraged by them.

I don't think it's Austria or all that.

I do wonder whether that sort of Red Bull football is maybe reaching the end of its shelf life and needs a bit more zest.

His great flush of innovation came almost 40 years ago.

So you're not seeing him at his peak.

And you're judging him on his performance at Manchester United, which...

is difficult it's not fair on anyone right yeah so i i think there's a touch of the bielsa's about him that he's probably a better theorist than he is actual winner of trophies and also he's he's you know now past his best um but you know if you think of austria the euros certainly early on they were they were quite good um i don't think it's an amazing group of austrian players um

So, I mean, I'd be slightly more generous to him than many, but I think you've got to look at what he did in German football in the 90s, really.

All tournament have been a bit disappointed by Algeria.

I think Ibrahim Mazza is a really, really good player.

And you kept seeing lovely little passes from him.

And then you just let in daft goals and none of it means anything.

And that's been the story in the group stage as well.
