You're looking out at a stadium of 70,000, 75,000 people going nuts.

But in the press box, it's dead quiet.

Totally.

Soundproof them too much almost.

Like on Thursday last week, I was at the Azteca saying, look at the color, listen to the noise.

And you couldn't do that in LA.

It was probably a better atmosphere in Talbot Street.

It's wild.

You're looking at a stadium, the US are scoring.

It was the same for Iran's game, and I know we might touch on that.

The anthems, the reaction from the fans at Iran.

And it was a bit hard to gauge it because the press box was so quiet.

It's strange.

Pretty quiet, yeah, pretty quiet.

Wow.

And even, like, I kind of had to go on information from other... A lot of the commentary boxes were out in the open, but even to gauge the mood of the Iran anthem, you were kind of going on the reaction from journalists in the press box because... So I know more about the atmosphere for the Iran anthem than you do.

I'd say so.

It's interesting, isn't it?

Yeah, it's pretty different at home, but, yeah, the SoFi Stadium was...

It was extraordinary and like you're touching on the game there and it's just such a pity moment.
