And even, you know, in the last throws of the game when Ousmane Debele is, you know, matched

Objection. matched

Well, I would use that term. matched

There were some strange decisions, like a reversal of a free kick, which was really weird. matched

And to me was very much like VAR intervened when it shouldn't have intervened saying you've made a mistake, it should be different thing. matched

I'm also, on a purely almost metaphysical plane, I'm really interested in the penalty because as a friend of mine who is not French said, if Lamine Yamal had managed to get the ball and scored, the goal would have been chalked off. matched

and which i think is an interesting metaphysical point because to be absolutely honest it makes absolutely no difference to the to the game itself well it was the first goal so it was very important obviously but he was no he was very poor and there was a lot of play acting as well which i didn't think was was really lovely um but we can forget about that that's in a way that's immaterial um spain were by far the better team matched

It was probably the best performance we've seen by any team in the World Cup so far. matched

And normally, with the kind of tactical organization you're supposed to have, there would have been solutions. matched

There were none. matched

And time after time, even when they were challenging in 50-50s, if they won the ball, they lost it immediately afterwards. matched

And when you see that, when that is happening, you know, you don't stand a chance. matched

There is a, FIFA has made the broadcasters sign up to a pledge that they have to show Jenny the first on screens like twice a game. matched

They know it's going to be booed. matched
