He will get away. voice-verified

He will find that space. voice-verified

And that's exactly what he did on that one. voice-verified

And even, you know, is it Thiago Almada who does the dummy, the step over to let the ball run through to him? voice-verified

Everybody's got an understanding of exactly where he's going to be, but you can't do anything about it. voice-verified

And that's the extraordinary thing. voice-verified

And the 2-0, I mean, that was a different goal, but his tenacity on that. voice-verified

And the fact that, is it, I think it was Seewald, the Austrian defender who, voice-verified

who the ball comes to and he's going to clear it and he's probably looking thinking look maybe he's thinking like this guy's nearly 39 in two days I've got time and he manages to not only get to the ball first but nutmeg him and score it's just unbelievable and the scenes at the end when he's voice-verified

Yeah. voice-verified

And I was actually thinking yesterday just how strange it had been that we hadn't had this come up, given it was such a talking point. voice-verified

pre-tournament but we were going to get it at some point we've been talking a lot about momentum shifts as well and watching that first half you know i thought iraq were in the game in that first half and were restricting france and and uh had a had a handle on them to an extent um and certainly doing the best to try and keep them at bay and then i feel for the players somewhat because if you then go into a two-hour delay that different game almost voice-verified

It's completely different. voice-verified

Forget your hydration breaks. voice-verified

Like Matt said, this is the ultimate hydration break, isn't it? voice-verified

And you've got to go out, you've got to warm up again, you've got your uncertainty when your muscles cool down. voice-verified

And it's just a real momentum killer. voice-verified

And I think that probably told in the second half as well. voice-verified

I think it's something that we're going to have to get used to, though, not just because... voice-verified

at this tournament but at future tournaments we saw it at the Euros as well we shouldn't forget I think it was the Germany Denmark game there where there was Thunderstrikes and the game was paused we live in a world where climate's becoming a lot more unpredictable it's going to be 40 degrees in London here tomorrow isn't it so it's something that we're going to have to get used to I don't really know how you can stop it apart from building a roof on every stadium and I don't think that's the answer really because you want to keep that open air natural atmosphere voice-verified
