But it was the most kind of overwrought crowd I've ever been in.
part of um and you could just feel that this is either going to be this most incredible you know it's building this wave of emotion this tide is either going to sweep them to glory in the most kind of dramatic draining circumstances or it's just going to just throw them completely off the course and i remember telling fellow journalists about about the the anthem
you'll know the anthem and it's almost sort of shouted out.
But the way it was shouted before that semi-final, this just feels like, what did you call it, sort of deathmatch kind of thing.
It felt like something primal.
And it wasn't the greatest Brazil team by any means.
And you had a lot of players who I think were
Less sort of refined, composed footballers and more kind of instinctive, slightly emotional, uncontrolled footballers.
David Luiz perhaps harshly being the person I'm thinking of there.
But it was just, I've never known a team be so overwrought in a really negative way.
at Germany were absolutely wonderful and merciless but it was the Brazil performance was one of the most terrible performances I've ever seen from a from a from any from any team in a in a big game you know I'll add some context to what Ali Ali said Ali you just described it so perfectly it was not a great Brazil team it was not this team that that enamored you at all and
It was also an incredible final.
And there haven't been, you know, of the previous tournaments that we've been through, I think you could possibly say 2006 for drama, but 1986 was a great final.
But this was, I mean, I think I've watched 11 World Cups and this was by far the best final.
And I was lucky to be there in the press box.
And just saying, I remember turning to Adam Craftman, who I think was next to me, and just saying, this is incredible.
But particularly extra time.
Because Argentina seemed to be cruising for the majority of the game.
And then Mbappé scores a hat-trick.
And it should in some way be the Mbappé final.
